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 documentation 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
5TODO: read property sequence is broken with respect to utf-8 etc. 9TODO: read property sequence is broken with respect to utf-8 etc.
6FEAT: hotkey font resizing 10WISH: anyevent mouse notification / manage MotionMask better.
7FEAT: searchable backlog 11WISH: just for fun, do shade and tint with XRender.
8FEAT: meta-tagging of data by regex (my dream project) 12WISH: http://www120.pair.com/mccarthy/nextstep/intro.htmld/Workspace.html is the correct nextstep look.
9FEAT: triple-click == select full output line 13DUMB: support tex fonts
10FEAT: double-click: more intelligent (urls etc.)
11FEAT: OnTheSpot editing.
12FEAT: tabbed windows (hey, just use screen...)
13 14
15TODO: overlays collide with the way the out-of-focus cursor is being drawn
16 - don't let iso14755 or mouse reporting get into the way of perl
17 (could lead to global grabs never being cleared).
18 - experimental OnTheSpot editing support (-pe xim-onthespot).
19 - moved Shift-Button2 paste combination to Meta-Button2.
20 - the cutchars resource will now be respected and used by the
21 selection extension.
22 - added the "remote-clipboard" extension which just runs external
23 commands to fetch and store the selection data.
24 - removed (unused) arabic presentation form composing sequences.
25 - be more strict when deciding that a core font glyph is too wide and
26 needs the careful rendering mode.
27 - allow more leeway for italic fonts when deciding that a character is
28 too wide and needs careful mode.
29 - redraw even more characters around characters usign careful mode.
30 - reduced number of server turnarounds at startup by allocating
31 atoms only once per display.
32 - renamed on_keyboard_command to on_user_command.
33 - changed version sos (ESC [ > c) response to be more compatible with
34 xterm.
35
367.2 Sun Jan 22 21:58:16 CET 2006
37 - bugfix: urxvt (not urxvtd) did not correctly handle multiple
38 environments necessary, which resulted in segfaults within
39 getenv (reproducable: urxvt -fn 9x15, open a menu once,
40 ctrl-shift-672c).
41 - bugfix: the selection speedup in in 7.1 unfortunately caused
42 non-ascii characters to enlarge/move the selection.
43 - bugfix: resizing sometimes leaked lines from the secondary to
44 the primary screen.
45 - bugfix: reducing window size while large amounts of text were output
46 could lead to an assertion failure.
47 - added "tabbed" extension that provides a crude tabbed terminal.
48 - added "readline" extension that allows cursor positioning
49 via mouse clicks.
50 - now it is possible to insert the value of the CLIPBOARD selection
51 with shift - mouse button 2.
52 - fixed the automove-background extension to ignore coordinates
53 in non-synthetic events.
54 - created a separate libpty for portable and secure
55 pty/tty/utmp/wtmp/lastlog handling, and include it in rxvt-unicode.
56 - the non-terminfo visual bell now works asynchronously, so
57 continuous ASCI BELs in one terminal do no longer monopolise the
58 whole urxvt[d] process.
59 - support some *BSD makes (for the time being, gnu make is a safe bet).
60 - work around bugs in FreeBSD's gcc.
61 - implemented some *BSD fixes in configure.
62 - removed support for obsolete offix dnd protocol.
63
647.1 Thu Jan 19 20:25:34 CET 2006
65 - setuid/setgid operation is now _encouraged_: security has been
66 improved by moving privileged operations into a separate process
67 and permanently dropping privileges within the terminal. This
68 makes it possible to remove security checks from the perl code
69 and gives a much safer feeling when urxvt needs to run with
70 special privileges.
71 - perl taint checking disabled, as urxvt no longer runs setuid/setgid
72 itself.
73 - new perl extension automove-background that can be used to get
74 the same effect as pseudo-transparency with any pixmap.
75 - new perl extension example: perl/selection-pastebin, can be used to
76 e.g. upload the selection to a webserver and generate a url, or
77 similar stuff.
78 - use the scrollback buffer even when the scroll region doesn't
79 span the whole screen, as long as it starts at row 0. Helps
80 for programs displaying a status line at the bottom.
81 - selection popup now shows selection in dec/hex/oct.
82 - perl/selection: matching on unicode characters in the selection
83 code was O(n²), which equals infinity in some degenerate cases
84 :-> Matching is now done on UTF-8, which makes it almost instant.
85 - perl/selection, perl/selection-autotransform: regexes are now
86 being interpreted in the locale urxvt was started.
87 - implemented override-redirect option and enabled it on menus,
88 as kwin puts our windows behind the terminal (what a shoddy wm).
89 - fixed struct utmp check in configure for OpenBSD.
90 - complete overhaul of the pty/utmp management stuff and configure
91 (Emanuele Giaquinta).
92 - add tsl/fsl and related capabilities to the terminfo description,
93 to set the window title.
94 - swap the environment in some more cases. This hopefully fixes
95 some segfaults that might be caused by xft asking for env variables
96 at the wrong time.
97 - removed src/strings.C and src/menubar.C. No menubar support
98 anymore.
99 - removed all traces of SMOOTH_REFRESH.
100 - nuked QNX support.
101 - made some fixes to xpm offset and scaling code.
102 - perl-overlays and refresh hooks were not applied in correct order.
103 - changed coordinate-system of view_start/nsaved to be top to bottom.
104 - iom extended to support listening for child exits.
105
1067.0 Fri Jan 13 14:02:18 CET 2006
107 - added sections for DISTRIBUTION MAINTAINERS and about
108 SETUID/SETGID to the FAQ.
109 - selection, searchable-scrollback, selection-popup and
110 option-popup extensions enabled by default.
111 - increased xft drawing speed for problematic fonts. The effect
112 will likely be small as 99% of the xft slowness is server-related.
113 - perl: much increased functionality, better overlays, popup support
114 and much much more.
115 - perl: urxvt::line now can set via ->t and ->r.
116 - perl: changed interpretation of --perl-ext-common and -pe.
117 - perl: finally implemented --perl-eval.
118 - perl: non-blocking anyevent support.
119 - perl: run tainted and ignore perl-eval/perl-lib if started
120 setuid/setgid.
121 - free the resource database: this plugs a massive memory leak. As a
122 side effect, it also gets rid of XGetDefault calls.
123 - free one of the cursors, fixes a small memory leak.
124 - built-in (as opposed to terminfos) visual bell was broken/too fast.
125 - applied minor cleanups by Ladislav Michnovic.
126 - applied pty handling cleanups and improvements (Emanuele Giaquinta).
127 - mark-urls launch-on-click by jepler.
128 - removed "small" resource parsing function, as it wasn't really
129 compatible, and not really small either.
130 - removed PATH_ENV and PATH file search support.
131 - removed support for locale-specific app-defaults file.
132 - fixed a bug where out-of-bounds colour sequences could lead
133 to crashes.
134 - limit colour changing to the standard 88 palette instead of all
135 colours.
136 - XTerm_Color01 sequence returned wrong results in query mode.
137 - iom.C now checks against destructed io_manager when unregistering.
138
1396.3 Wed Jan 4 22:37:10 CET 2006
140 - SECURITY FIX: on systems using openpty, permissions were
141 not correctly updated on the tty device and were left as
142 world-readable and world-writable (likely in original rxvt,
143 too), and were not restored properly. Affected are only
144 systems where non-unix ptys were used (such as most BSDs, not
145 GNU/Linux). (found, patched and debugged by Ryan Beasley).
146 - meta8 support was forcefully enabled in most configurations.
147 restored configurability of this (useless) feature (reported
148 by Mikachu).
149 - optionally embed a perl interpreter, which can be used for more
150 intelligent/customized selection support, visual feedback,
151 menus, tabs etc. See the the urxvtperl manpage, the -pe option,
152 perl*-resources and keysym resources. Not everything is there yet.
153 - try to be more clever about differing font sizes and their ascent.
154 Not guarenteed to work, but works better in most cases now.
155 - fix directory permissions on install.
156 - implemented option to disable built-in line drawing characters
157 and fall back to the font ones (patch by Martin Pohlack).
158 - disabled sched_yield support: the linux version is just too useless
159 (it schedules nice'd processes before the own one for extended
160 periods). Too bad, it could reduce system time by a factor of 5 here.
161
1626.2 Mon Jan 2 16:03:01 CET 2006
163 - implemented intensityStyles option which enables/disables bold/blink
164 selecting high intensity foreground/background colours, suggested by
165 Chuck Blake.
166 - move iso14755 character feedback box out of the way if it would
167 obscure the mouse cursor position.
168 - replaced callback.h by a fixed version from gvpe that correctly
169 returns the callback result (affects new -pty-fd semantics in urxvtc
170 on a few architectures). Reported by darix.
171 - include one trailing space in rectangular selections to indicate
172 the inserted newline (yeah, weird, but visually more pleasing).
173 - try to use sched_yield to (drastically) improve terminal data
174 transfer efficiency.
175 - further minor cleanups.
176
1776.1 Tue Dec 27 13:23:40 CET 2005
178 - update iso8859-7 table (euro and drachma round-trip et al.).
179 - fix a crash when the selection scrolls out of the scrollback
180 while the user still drags.
181 - selections that were partially scrolled out of the window were
182 not drawn correctly.
183 - lines newly scrolled in were not initialized properly, leading
184 to extremely long lines and (hopefully) some segfaults.
185 - iso14755 overlay position was wrong.
186 - iso14755 overlay now displays rendition info, too.
187 - use unicode white space class instead of hardcoded values for
188 stripping whitespace.
189 - do whitespace stripping on rectangular selections.
190 - slight cleanups in src/features.h.
191
1926.0 Sat Dec 24 13:58:56 CET 2005
193 - make it compile without SMART_RESIZE again.
194 - enable slow link support by default.
195 - fix relative cursor-positioning not respecting scrolling regions
196 (also a bug in original rxvt).
197 - initialize termios structure to zero when fetching it fails
198 (see http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=84647 for a
199 partial patch).
200 - bump max columns/rows to 10000 each.
201 - bump max savelines to 10000000.
202 - -pty-fd now passes the urxvtc fd to the urxvtd process.
203 - avoid linking against -lnsl/-lsocket/-lxpg4 unless neccessary.
204 - major code cleanup (still not complete, though).
205 - implement -hold option.
206 - _major_ rewrite of internal buffer handling:
207 - re-flow on resize, lines get wrapped instead of winged.
208 - circular line buffer (substantially speeds up scrolling).
209 - slightly less code + data memory usage per terminal.
210 - slight overall speed improvements.
211 - considerably improved code clarity.
212 - partial-screen scrolls no longer end up in the scrollback
213 buffer.
214
2155.9 Sat Dec 17 21:53:17 CET 2005
216 - fix a bug in the menu code of unknown impact, found by darix.
217 - clean up signal handling to be global, not per terminal
218 (matters only for rxvtd).
219 - fix small typoe in rxvt.1 (found by Mike Fabian).
220 - don't crash when broken xft/fontconfig/freetype versions return
221 bogus data, ignore the xft font instead (experienced on suse).
222
2235.8 Tue Oct 25 22:21:45 CEST 2005
224 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: many configure options are now on by default.
225 If you want the old behaviour, try:
226 configure --disable-everything <your enable options>
227 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: -fade changed it's meaning to comply with
228 the documentation and common sense: when upgrading, replace your
229 percentage by 100-percentage.
230 - integrated "fade to specific colour" patch by Martin Parm.
231 - slow down the internal visual bell (delay by 20ms) and update
232 the terminfo flash code to use the same delay. This is
233 synchronous, so many bells might inhibit screen updates in other
234 windows.
235 - text with background==foreground colour gets displayed with default
236 bg/fg now when in reverse video, so it can be seen when selecting.
237 - allow koi8r* as x11 encoding name for koi8r (Nikita Danilov).
238 - removed undocumented inheritPixmapforce option.
239 - replaced INSTALL file.
240
2415.7 Wed Jul 13 04:46:33 CEST 2005
242 - implement some useful (hopefully) options for rxvtd.
243 - separate and improved rxvtc(1) and rxvtd(1) manpages.
244 - fix a bug that caused segfaults on startup on systems that do
245 not support local unix connections, e.g cygwin. (btw, I didn't
246 even know about the -rootless and -multiwindow Cygwin/X modes).
247 - large amounts of text without control sequences or newlines
248 could almost freeze output. This has been fixed by adding extra
249 refreshes in these cases (also a problem in original rxvt).
250
2515.6 Sun Jun 26 22:11:13 CEST 2005
252 - R_SB_RXVT bitset value was 0, so rxvt scrollbar was initialised
253 every time resulting in display errors (original rxvt also affected).
254 Reported by Jasmin Buchert.
255 - font names are now considered to be utf-8 encoded (xft apperently
256 uses this convention. X Core fonts might not, but it should be rare).
257 Affects display in iso14755 box.
258 - rewrote the low-level xft drawing function ("xft backend" for the
259 hipper parts of the world) to hopefully cope better with proportional
260 chars mixed with fixed-width ones.
261 - rxvt is now much more careful (read: slower) with potentially
262 overlapping xft characters. It usually overshoots and redraws
263 more than required, but that's better than undershooting and
264 cutting pieces off of characters.
265 - rxvt is now more restrictive in what font heights it accepts for
266 fonts that will likely overshoot or undershoot lines.
267 - fix a cosmetic problem with the unfocused cursor on a wide character
268 at the end of the line (reported by Mikachu).
269 - wide characters not fitting into the end of the line will be
270 output in the next line (reported by Mikachu).
271 - added doc/solaris9.patch by Ewgenij Starostin.
272
2735.5 Sat Apr 23 22:31:36 CEST 2005
274 - re-enabled modifer state matching as in 5.3, but implement
275 a new builtin: keysym style that simply reverts to the built-in
276 meaning of the given key.
277 - use scrollcolor for next scrollbar instead of hardcoded antiquewhite
278 (patch by Martin Edlman).
279
2805.4 Mon Apr 18 00:33:31 CEST 2005
281 - match modifier state exactly in custom keyboard code.
282 this is necessary because it has no knowledge about
283 built-in mappings and so will overwrite them. the priority-code
284 will be re-enabled when this has changed, so watch out.
285 - cursor blinking now depends on frills.
286 - underline cursor mode (frills, -uc).
287 - implement special value (*g*) for pointerBlankDelay
288 to disable it.
289
2905.3 Sun Mar 13 00:20:44 CET 2005
291 - fix a bug that allowed to overflow a buffer via a long
292 escape sequence, which is probably exploitable (fix by
293 Rob Holland / Yoann Vandoorselaere / Gentoo Audit Team).
294 - Custom key mappings no longer confuse mouse buttons
295 with modifiers.
296 - use XmbSetWMProperties instead of XSetWMProperties.
297 - properly update WM_LOCALE.
298 - implement _NET_WM_PING protocol.
299 - implemented escape sequences to move the scrollback buffer view
300 and clear the scrollback buffer.
301
3025.2 Sun Feb 20 01:48:59 CET 2005
303 - new option -pty-fd that makes the terminal a slave
304 that uses an existing pty for I/O instead of starting
305 a command.
306 - implement enough of XEMBED to allow for correct focus.
307 - added doc/embed-tk, an embedding example in Perl/Tk,
308 and doc/rxvt-tabbed, a primitive tabbed shell implemented
309 in Perl/Gtk2.
310 - fix assertion failure ("crash") on mousewheel-scrolling
311 when the terminal height is small, by removing the assert.
312 (reported by Mikael Magnusson).
313 - SYNCCVS. backported bugfixes done to rxvt
314 (sourceforge bugs #1028739, #1028732), except for
315 pts/%s fix as it seems to collide with freebsd,
316 and sourceforge bug #954654, which is not neccessary.
317 - change terminfo file to not clobber G1 when using
318 line-drawing characters, as this seems to mess
319 with EUC-JP (it will clobber G0, but G0 practically
320 needs to be US-ASCII all the time).
321 - toggle default application keypad/cursor mode to help
322 some apps who fail to set the correct mode.
323 - check for WM_PROTOCOLS type in ClientMessage as to
324 not destroy the window for other types of messages.
325 - remove shared library (or any library) support - it is
326 of no use currently (and -embed is a better way to embed
327 rxvt-unicode).
328 - get rid of the intpro files.
329
3305.1 Tue Feb 15 17:13:27 CET 2005
331 - fix a bug when parsing fontnames and another one
332 for empty keymaps which could result in crashes
333 (Kuang-che Wu).
334 - new option: -embed (frills). somebody could write a simple
335 tk script to make a tab'able terminal now...
336 - only warn on X errors and _try_ to continue (frills).
337 - add COPYING back, which got lost somehow.
338 - after deciding that LSM is dead, remove all traces of it,
339 along with other, similar, cleanups.
340 - _try_ to react sensibly to some non-monotonic time changes.
341 - don't crash in urxvtc when getcwd fails (reported by Paco-Paco).
342 - tweak font searching algorithm a bit to be faster and more
343 compatible with older rxvt-unicode versions when multiple fonts
344 match (reported by Paco-Paco).
345 - urxvtd tries to stay in "/" whenever possible.
346
3475.0 Fri Feb 11 18:31:48 CET 2005
348 - document a race-free hack to start urxvtd.
349 - document all(?) environment variables used and set by rxvt.
350 - bring xgetdefault-style resource file ordering more in line with
351 Xt, and document it in rxvt(1).
352 - correctly use screen-dependent resources when --enable-xgetdefault,
353 and also fix some memory bugs (thanks to Thierry Reding for
354 his patience and time in tracking this down).
355 - bring own resource parsing more in line with X resource parsing,
356 most notably, don't remove double quotes.
357 - compile fix for freebsd (no ut_id) (Thierry Thomas).
358 - clean up utmp and pty on X I/O errors and signals (idea
359 by Joël Riou).
360 - "un"document -xrm, it never really worked, was only
361 available with --enable-xgetdefault, is not necessary
362 and is surprisingly hard to implement.
363 - shaved off some code segment size.
364 - various code cleanups.
365 - more keysym-mapping fixes.
366
3674.9 Thu Feb 3 09:52:03 CET 2005
368 - nuke out utmp entries completely. Should be fixed in
369 original rxvt, too. (reported by James Michael Fultz).
370 - resizes wil now correctly refresh the displayed text when
371 -pixmap is active.
372 - new option/resource imFont.
373 - document --tripleclickwords/-tcw.
374 - select logical instead of physical lines when doing a triple-click.
375 - reordered help listing to group similar options together.
376 - handle SIGINT the same way as SIGTERM (reported by Joël Riou).
377 - fix a bug introduced while applying the keyboard patch
378 (WU Fengguang).
379 - document all window-op sequences (rxvt.7.) and more keysym
380 examples (rxvt.1).
381 - removed src/test completely.
382 - renamed keysym 'proto:'-prefix to 'command:'.
383
3844.8 Tue Jan 18 02:23:57 CET 2005
385 - added a patch by WU Fengguang that makes the keyboard
386 highly configurable (e.g. locale changes, custom escape
387 sequences, and more). See keysym resource in rxvt(1).
388 - remove default key sequence for unknown keys again, as this
389 can be achieved by customizing the keyboard now.
390 - fix some freeing problems when destroying the rxvt_display,
391 resulting in segfaults.
392 - don't crash when the saved cursor position doesn't fit on the
393 screen (wrong assert in original rxvt, reported by ikaro).
394 - fix signed/unsigned bugs on wc<->mb conversions.
395 - reset slipwheel scrolling speed when reaching the top or bottom
396 (Mikael Magnusson).
397 - for core fonts, use ascent + descent when a font is loaded,
398 and PIXEL_SIZE when not. when loading a font, iterate until a
399 font has been found that _really_ fits the height (reported and
400 tested by Olivier Wittenberg).
401 - set IUTF8 input flag, when defined (linux-2.6.5+).
402 - only define _XOPEN_SOURCE on solaris.
403 - autogenerate src/* dependency list.
404 - fixed linespace option, which ought to work now (and is dependent
405 on frills, not on it's own configure option).
406 - include pty.h, if available (cygwin).
407 - removed W11 directory from dist, it wasn't used anyway.
408 - initialize the locale much earlier.
409 - fixed two tiny per-instance memory leaks.
410
4114.7 Wed Dec 29 20:54:24 CET 2004
412 - fix a bug in the event logic that could cause the temrinal to be
413 black on initial startup.
414 - do NOT call XCloseIM, ever. This causes way to many crashes due to
415 races in the protocol and within Xlib.
416 - map iso-left-tab to the same sequence as shift-tab.
417 - generate a unique escape sequence for many unknown keys, such as
418 additional multimedia keys.
419 - mask out high (non-unicode) bits on wide characters, to cope with
420 implementations that store tag info in the high bits.
421
4224.6 Thu Dec 16 07:54:23 CET 2004
14 - try very hard not to exhaust the kernel tty buffers, even 423 - try very hard not to exhaust the kernel tty buffers, even
15 if it slows down large pastes and is only cosmetic. 424 if it slows down large pastes and is only cosmetic.
425 - streamline atom and xft color allocation to reduce startup
426 time (12.8s -> 7.8s on my dsl). Still, doing it with only 2-3
427 turnarounds would be much faster, but impossible to implement(?).
428 - implement underlineColor resource when ENABLE_FRILLS.
429 - iom left it's signal pipe handle open in the child
430 process. Fortunately not security-relevant as the pipe data gets
431 ignored.
432 - do not use XSETROOTPMAP_ID anymore, support ESETROOT_PMAP_ID
433 instead.
434 - fix a crash in rxvtd when the last window was being closed
435 (reported by hednod).
436 - fix an unlikely memory leak.
437 - fix atom name enumeration.
16 438
174.5 Mon Dec 13 07:47:16 CET 2004 4394.5 Mon Dec 13 07:47:16 CET 2004
18 - fix an extremely nasty bug in utf8-conversion. upgrade is advised. 440 - fix an extremely nasty bug in utf8-conversion. upgrade is advised.
