12 17
136.0 18 - don't let iso14755 or mouse reporting get into the way of perl
19 (could lead to global grabs never being cleared).
20 - experimental OnTheSpot editing support (-pe xim-onthespot).
21 - moved Shift-Button2 paste combination to Meta-Button2.
22 - removed (unused) arabic presentation form composing sequences.
23 - changed version sos (ESC [ > c) response to be more compatible with
24 xterm.
25
267.2 Sun Jan 22 21:58:16 CET 2006
27 - bugfix: urxvt (not urxvtd) did not correctly handle multiple
28 environments necessary, which resulted in segfaults within
29 getenv (reproducable: urxvt -fn 9x15, open a menu once,
30 ctrl-shift-672c).
31 - bugfix: the selection speedup in in 7.1 unfortunately caused
32 non-ascii characters to enlarge/move the selection.
33 - bugfix: resizing sometimes leaked lines from the secondary to
34 the primary screen.
35 - bugfix: reducing window size while large amounts of text were output
36 could lead to an assertion failure.
37 - added "tabbed" extension that provides a crude tabbed terminal.
38 - added "readline" extension that allows cursor positioning
39 via mouse clicks.
40 - now it is possible to insert the value of the CLIPBOARD selection
41 with shift - mouse button 2.
42 - fixed the automove-background extension to ignore coordinates
43 in non-synthetic events.
44 - created a separate libpty for portable and secure
45 pty/tty/utmp/wtmp/lastlog handling, and include it in rxvt-unicode.
46 - the non-terminfo visual bell now works asynchronously, so
47 continuous ASCI BELs in one terminal do no longer monopolise the
48 whole urxvt[d] process.
49 - support some *BSD makes (for the time being, gnu make is a safe bet).
50 - work around bugs in FreeBSD's gcc.
51 - implemented some *BSD fixes in configure.
52 - removed support for obsolete offix dnd protocol.
53
547.1 Thu Jan 19 20:25:34 CET 2006
55 - setuid/setgid operation is now _encouraged_: security has been
56 improved by moving privileged operations into a separate process
57 and permanently dropping privileges within the terminal. This
58 makes it possible to remove security checks from the perl code
59 and gives a much safer feeling when urxvt needs to run with
60 special privileges.
61 - perl taint checking disabled, as urxvt no longer runs setuid/setgid
62 itself.
63 - new perl extension automove-background that can be used to get
64 the same effect as pseudo-transparency with any pixmap.
65 - new perl extension example: perl/selection-pastebin, can be used to
66 e.g. upload the selection to a webserver and generate a url, or
67 similar stuff.
68 - use the scrollback buffer even when the scroll region doesn't
69 span the whole screen, as long as it starts at row 0. Helps
70 for programs displaying a status line at the bottom.
71 - selection popup now shows selection in dec/hex/oct.
72 - perl/selection: matching on unicode characters in the selection
73 code was O(n²), which equals infinity in some degenerate cases
74 :-> Matching is now done on UTF-8, which makes it almost instant.
75 - perl/selection, perl/selection-autotransform: regexes are now
76 being interpreted in the locale urxvt was started.
77 - implemented override-redirect option and enabled it on menus,
78 as kwin puts our windows behind the terminal (what a shoddy wm).
79 - fixed struct utmp check in configure for OpenBSD.
80 - complete overhaul of the pty/utmp management stuff and configure
81 (Emanuele Giaquinta).
82 - add tsl/fsl and related capabilities to the terminfo description,
83 to set the window title.
84 - swap the environment in some more cases. This hopefully fixes
85 some segfaults that might be caused by xft asking for env variables
86 at the wrong time.
87 - removed src/strings.C and src/menubar.C. No menubar support
88 anymore.
89 - removed all traces of SMOOTH_REFRESH.
90 - nuked QNX support.
91 - made some fixes to xpm offset and scaling code.
92 - perl-overlays and refresh hooks were not applied in correct order.
93 - changed coordinate-system of view_start/nsaved to be top to bottom.
94 - iom extended to support listening for child exits.
95
967.0 Fri Jan 13 14:02:18 CET 2006
97 - added sections for DISTRIBUTION MAINTAINERS and about
98 SETUID/SETGID to the FAQ.
99 - selection, searchable-scrollback, selection-popup and
100 option-popup extensions enabled by default.
101 - increased xft drawing speed for problematic fonts. The effect
102 will likely be small as 99% of the xft slowness is server-related.
103 - perl: much increased functionality, better overlays, popup support
104 and much much more.
105 - perl: urxvt::line now can set via ->t and ->r.
106 - perl: changed interpretation of --perl-ext-common and -pe.
107 - perl: finally implemented --perl-eval.
108 - perl: non-blocking anyevent support.
109 - perl: run tainted and ignore perl-eval/perl-lib if started
110 setuid/setgid.
111 - free the resource database: this plugs a massive memory leak. As a
112 side effect, it also gets rid of XGetDefault calls.
113 - free one of the cursors, fixes a small memory leak.
114 - built-in (as opposed to terminfos) visual bell was broken/too fast.
115 - applied minor cleanups by Ladislav Michnovic.
116 - applied pty handling cleanups and improvements (Emanuele Giaquinta).
117 - mark-urls launch-on-click by jepler.
118 - removed "small" resource parsing function, as it wasn't really
119 compatible, and not really small either.
120 - removed PATH_ENV and PATH file search support.
121 - removed support for locale-specific app-defaults file.
122 - fixed a bug where out-of-bounds colour sequences could lead
123 to crashes.
124 - limit colour changing to the standard 88 palette instead of all
125 colours.
126 - XTerm_Color01 sequence returned wrong results in query mode.
127 - iom.C now checks against destructed io_manager when unregistering.
128
1296.3 Wed Jan 4 22:37:10 CET 2006
130 - SECURITY FIX: on systems using openpty, permissions were
131 not correctly updated on the tty device and were left as
132 world-readable and world-writable (likely in original rxvt,
133 too), and were not restored properly. Affected are only
134 systems where non-unix ptys were used (such as most BSDs, not
135 GNU/Linux). (found, patched and debugged by Ryan Beasley).
136 - meta8 support was forcefully enabled in most configurations.
137 restored configurability of this (useless) feature (reported
138 by Mikachu).
139 - optionally embed a perl interpreter, which can be used for more
140 intelligent/customized selection support, visual feedback,
141 menus, tabs etc. See the the urxvtperl manpage, the -pe option,
142 perl*-resources and keysym resources. Not everything is there yet.
143 - try to be more clever about differing font sizes and their ascent.
144 Not guarenteed to work, but works better in most cases now.
145 - fix directory permissions on install.
146 - implemented option to disable built-in line drawing characters
147 and fall back to the font ones (patch by Martin Pohlack).
148 - disabled sched_yield support: the linux version is just too useless
149 (it schedules nice'd processes before the own one for extended
150 periods). Too bad, it could reduce system time by a factor of 5 here.
151
1526.2 Mon Jan 2 16:03:01 CET 2006
153 - implemented intensityStyles option which enables/disables bold/blink
154 selecting high intensity foreground/background colours, suggested by
155 Chuck Blake.
156 - move iso14755 character feedback box out of the way if it would
157 obscure the mouse cursor position.
158 - replaced callback.h by a fixed version from gvpe that correctly
159 returns the callback result (affects new -pty-fd semantics in urxvtc
160 on a few architectures). Reported by darix.
161 - include one trailing space in rectangular selections to indicate
162 the inserted newline (yeah, weird, but visually more pleasing).
163 - try to use sched_yield to (drastically) improve terminal data
164 transfer efficiency.
165 - further minor cleanups.
166
1676.1 Tue Dec 27 13:23:40 CET 2005
168 - update iso8859-7 table (euro and drachma round-trip et al.).
169 - fix a crash when the selection scrolls out of the scrollback
170 while the user still drags.
171 - selections that were partially scrolled out of the window were
172 not drawn correctly.
173 - lines newly scrolled in were not initialized properly, leading
174 to extremely long lines and (hopefully) some segfaults.
175 - iso14755 overlay position was wrong.
176 - iso14755 overlay now displays rendition info, too.
177 - use unicode white space class instead of hardcoded values for
178 stripping whitespace.
179 - do whitespace stripping on rectangular selections.
180 - slight cleanups in src/features.h.
