12WISH: http://www120.pair.com/mccarthy/nextstep/intro.htmld/Workspace.html is the correct nextstep look.
13DUMB: support tex fonts
14
15 - don't let iso14755 or mouse reporting get into the way of perl
16 (could lead to global grabs never being cleared).
17 - experimental OnTheSpot editing support (-pe xim-onthespot).
18 - moved Shift-Button2 paste combination to Meta-Button2.
19 - the cutchars resource will now be respected and used by the
20 selection extension.
21 - added the "remote-clipboard" extension which just runs external
22 commands to fetch and store the selection data.
23 - removed (unused) arabic presentation form composing sequences.
24 - be more strict when deciding that a core font glyph is too wide and
25 needs the careful rendering mode.
26 - allow more leeway for italic fonts when deciding that a character is
27 too wide and needs careful mode.
28 - redraw even more characters around characters usign careful mode.
29 - reduced number of server turnarounds at startup by allocating
30 atoms only once per display.
31 - renamed on_keyboard_command to on_user_command.
32 - changed version sos (ESC [ > c) response to be more compatible with
33 xterm.
34
357.2 Sun Jan 22 21:58:16 CET 2006
36 - bugfix: urxvt (not urxvtd) did not correctly handle multiple
37 environments necessary, which resulted in segfaults within
38 getenv (reproducable: urxvt -fn 9x15, open a menu once,
39 ctrl-shift-672c).
40 - bugfix: the selection speedup in in 7.1 unfortunately caused
41 non-ascii characters to enlarge/move the selection.
42 - bugfix: resizing sometimes leaked lines from the secondary to
43 the primary screen.
44 - bugfix: reducing window size while large amounts of text were output
45 could lead to an assertion failure.
46 - added "tabbed" extension that provides a crude tabbed terminal.
47 - added "readline" extension that allows cursor positioning
48 via mouse clicks.
49 - now it is possible to insert the value of the CLIPBOARD selection
50 with shift - mouse button 2.
51 - fixed the automove-background extension to ignore coordinates
52 in non-synthetic events.
53 - created a separate libpty for portable and secure
54 pty/tty/utmp/wtmp/lastlog handling, and include it in rxvt-unicode.
55 - the non-terminfo visual bell now works asynchronously, so
56 continuous ASCI BELs in one terminal do no longer monopolise the
57 whole urxvt[d] process.
58 - support some *BSD makes (for the time being, gnu make is a safe bet).
59 - work around bugs in FreeBSD's gcc.
60 - implemented some *BSD fixes in configure.
61 - removed support for obsolete offix dnd protocol.
62
637.1 Thu Jan 19 20:25:34 CET 2006
64 - setuid/setgid operation is now _encouraged_: security has been
65 improved by moving privileged operations into a separate process
66 and permanently dropping privileges within the terminal. This
67 makes it possible to remove security checks from the perl code
68 and gives a much safer feeling when urxvt needs to run with
69 special privileges.
70 - perl taint checking disabled, as urxvt no longer runs setuid/setgid
71 itself.
72 - new perl extension automove-background that can be used to get
73 the same effect as pseudo-transparency with any pixmap.
74 - new perl extension example: perl/selection-pastebin, can be used to
75 e.g. upload the selection to a webserver and generate a url, or
76 similar stuff.
77 - use the scrollback buffer even when the scroll region doesn't
78 span the whole screen, as long as it starts at row 0. Helps
79 for programs displaying a status line at the bottom.
80 - selection popup now shows selection in dec/hex/oct.
81 - perl/selection: matching on unicode characters in the selection
82 code was O(n²), which equals infinity in some degenerate cases
83 :-> Matching is now done on UTF-8, which makes it almost instant.
84 - perl/selection, perl/selection-autotransform: regexes are now
85 being interpreted in the locale urxvt was started.
86 - implemented override-redirect option and enabled it on menus,
87 as kwin puts our windows behind the terminal (what a shoddy wm).
88 - fixed struct utmp check in configure for OpenBSD.
89 - complete overhaul of the pty/utmp management stuff and configure
90 (Emanuele Giaquinta).
91 - add tsl/fsl and related capabilities to the terminfo description,
92 to set the window title.
93 - swap the environment in some more cases. This hopefully fixes
94 some segfaults that might be caused by xft asking for env variables
95 at the wrong time.
96 - removed src/strings.C and src/menubar.C. No menubar support
97 anymore.
98 - removed all traces of SMOOTH_REFRESH.
99 - nuked QNX support.
100 - made some fixes to xpm offset and scaling code.
101 - perl-overlays and refresh hooks were not applied in correct order.
102 - changed coordinate-system of view_start/nsaved to be top to bottom.
103 - iom extended to support listening for child exits.
104
1057.0 Fri Jan 13 14:02:18 CET 2006
106 - added sections for DISTRIBUTION MAINTAINERS and about
107 SETUID/SETGID to the FAQ.
108 - selection, searchable-scrollback, selection-popup and
109 option-popup extensions enabled by default.
110 - increased xft drawing speed for problematic fonts. The effect
111 will likely be small as 99% of the xft slowness is server-related.
112 - perl: much increased functionality, better overlays, popup support
113 and much much more.
114 - perl: urxvt::line now can set via ->t and ->r.
115 - perl: changed interpretation of --perl-ext-common and -pe.
116 - perl: finally implemented --perl-eval.
117 - perl: non-blocking anyevent support.
118 - perl: run tainted and ignore perl-eval/perl-lib if started
119 setuid/setgid.
120 - free the resource database: this plugs a massive memory leak. As a
121 side effect, it also gets rid of XGetDefault calls.
122 - free one of the cursors, fixes a small memory leak.
123 - built-in (as opposed to terminfos) visual bell was broken/too fast.
124 - applied minor cleanups by Ladislav Michnovic.
125 - applied pty handling cleanups and improvements (Emanuele Giaquinta).
126 - mark-urls launch-on-click by jepler.
127 - removed "small" resource parsing function, as it wasn't really
128 compatible, and not really small either.
129 - removed PATH_ENV and PATH file search support.
130 - removed support for locale-specific app-defaults file.
131 - fixed a bug where out-of-bounds colour sequences could lead
132 to crashes.
133 - limit colour changing to the standard 88 palette instead of all
134 colours.
135 - XTerm_Color01 sequence returned wrong results in query mode.
136 - iom.C now checks against destructed io_manager when unregistering.
137
1386.3 Wed Jan 4 22:37:10 CET 2006
139 - SECURITY FIX: on systems using openpty, permissions were
140 not correctly updated on the tty device and were left as
141 world-readable and world-writable (likely in original rxvt,
142 too), and were not restored properly. Affected are only
143 systems where non-unix ptys were used (such as most BSDs, not
144 GNU/Linux). (found, patched and debugged by Ryan Beasley).
145 - meta8 support was forcefully enabled in most configurations.
146 restored configurability of this (useless) feature (reported
147 by Mikachu).
148 - optionally embed a perl interpreter, which can be used for more
149 intelligent/customized selection support, visual feedback,
150 menus, tabs etc. See the the urxvtperl manpage, the -pe option,
151 perl*-resources and keysym resources. Not everything is there yet.
152 - try to be more clever about differing font sizes and their ascent.
153 Not guarenteed to work, but works better in most cases now.
154 - fix directory permissions on install.
155 - implemented option to disable built-in line drawing characters
156 and fall back to the font ones (patch by Martin Pohlack).
157 - disabled sched_yield support: the linux version is just too useless
158 (it schedules nice'd processes before the own one for extended
159 periods). Too bad, it could reduce system time by a factor of 5 here.
160
1616.2 Mon Jan 2 16:03:01 CET 2006
162 - implemented intensityStyles option which enables/disables bold/blink
163 selecting high intensity foreground/background colours, suggested by
164 Chuck Blake.
165 - move iso14755 character feedback box out of the way if it would
166 obscure the mouse cursor position.
167 - replaced callback.h by a fixed version from gvpe that correctly
168 returns the callback result (affects new -pty-fd semantics in urxvtc
169 on a few architectures). Reported by darix.
170 - include one trailing space in rectangular selections to indicate
171 the inserted newline (yeah, weird, but visually more pleasing).
172 - try to use sched_yield to (drastically) improve terminal data
173 transfer efficiency.
174 - further minor cleanups.
175
1766.1 Tue Dec 27 13:23:40 CET 2005
177 - update iso8859-7 table (euro and drachma round-trip et al.).
178 - fix a crash when the selection scrolls out of the scrollback
179 while the user still drags.
180 - selections that were partially scrolled out of the window were
181 not drawn correctly.
182 - lines newly scrolled in were not initialized properly, leading
183 to extremely long lines and (hopefully) some segfaults.
184 - iso14755 overlay position was wrong.
185 - iso14755 overlay now displays rendition info, too.
186 - use unicode white space class instead of hardcoded values for
187 stripping whitespace.
188 - do whitespace stripping on rectangular selections.
189 - slight cleanups in src/features.h.
190
1916.0 Sat Dec 24 13:58:56 CET 2005
192 - make it compile without SMART_RESIZE again.
193 - enable slow link support by default.
194 - fix relative cursor-positioning not respecting scrolling regions
195 (also a bug in original rxvt).
196 - initialize termios structure to zero when fetching it fails
197 (see http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=84647 for a
198 partial patch).
199 - bump max columns/rows to 10000 each.
200 - bump max savelines to 10000000.
201 - -pty-fd now passes the urxvtc fd to the urxvtd process.
202 - avoid linking against -lnsl/-lsocket/-lxpg4 unless neccessary.
203 - major code cleanup (still not complete, though).
204 - implement -hold option.
205 - _major_ rewrite of internal buffer handling:
206 - re-flow on resize, lines get wrapped instead of winged.
207 - circular line buffer (substantially speeds up scrolling).
208 - slightly less code + data memory usage per terminal.
209 - slight overall speed improvements.
210 - considerably improved code clarity.
211 - partial-screen scrolls no longer end up in the scrollback
212 buffer.
213
2145.9 Sat Dec 17 21:53:17 CET 2005
215 - fix a bug in the menu code of unknown impact, found by darix.
216 - clean up signal handling to be global, not per terminal
217 (matters only for rxvtd).
218 - fix small typoe in rxvt.1 (found by Mike Fabian).
219 - don't crash when broken xft/fontconfig/freetype versions return
220 bogus data, ignore the xft font instead (experienced on suse).
