13DUMB: support tex fonts
10 14
157.4pre
16 - screen background wasn't always erased properly when scrolling.
17
187.3a Thu Jan 26 01:08:25 CET 2006
19 - removed stoopid debugging message.
20
217.3 Wed Jan 25 22:47:35 CET 2006
22 - don't let iso14755 or mouse reporting get into the way of perl
23 (could lead to global grabs never being cleared).
24 - experimental OnTheSpot editing support (-pe xim-onthespot).
25 - moved Shift-Button2 paste combination to Meta-Button2.
26 - the cutchars resource will now be respected and used by the
27 selection extension.
28 - added the "remote-clipboard" extension which just runs external
29 commands to fetch and store the selection data.
30 - added -depth switch that tries to get a different visual depth
31 than the default (replaces the old PREFER_24_BIT logic).
32 - removed (unused) arabic presentation form composing sequences.
33 - be more strict when deciding that a core font glyph is too wide and
34 needs the careful rendering mode.
35 - allow more leeway for italic fonts when deciding that a character is
36 too wide and needs careful mode.
37 - redraw even more characters around characters using careful mode.
38 - made selection-pastebin fully asynchronous.
39 - reduced number of server turnarounds at startup by allocating
40 atoms only once per display.
41 - renamed on_keyboard_command to on_user_command.
42 - changed version sos (ESC [ > c) response to be more compatible with
43 xterm.
44
457.2 Sun Jan 22 21:58:16 CET 2006
46 - bugfix: urxvt (not urxvtd) did not correctly handle multiple
47 environments necessary, which resulted in segfaults within
48 getenv (reproducable: urxvt -fn 9x15, open a menu once,
49 ctrl-shift-672c).
50 - bugfix: the selection speedup in in 7.1 unfortunately caused
51 non-ascii characters to enlarge/move the selection.
52 - bugfix: resizing sometimes leaked lines from the secondary to
53 the primary screen.
54 - bugfix: reducing window size while large amounts of text were output
55 could lead to an assertion failure.
56 - added "tabbed" extension that provides a crude tabbed terminal.
57 - added "readline" extension that allows cursor positioning
58 via mouse clicks.
59 - now it is possible to insert the value of the CLIPBOARD selection
60 with shift - mouse button 2.
61 - fixed the automove-background extension to ignore coordinates
62 in non-synthetic events.
63 - created a separate libpty for portable and secure
64 pty/tty/utmp/wtmp/lastlog handling, and include it in rxvt-unicode.
65 - the non-terminfo visual bell now works asynchronously, so
66 continuous ASCI BELs in one terminal do no longer monopolise the
67 whole urxvt[d] process.
68 - support some *BSD makes (for the time being, gnu make is a safe bet).
69 - work around bugs in FreeBSD's gcc.
70 - implemented some *BSD fixes in configure.
71 - removed support for obsolete offix dnd protocol.
72
737.1 Thu Jan 19 20:25:34 CET 2006
74 - setuid/setgid operation is now _encouraged_: security has been
75 improved by moving privileged operations into a separate process
76 and permanently dropping privileges within the terminal. This
77 makes it possible to remove security checks from the perl code
78 and gives a much safer feeling when urxvt needs to run with
79 special privileges.
80 - perl taint checking disabled, as urxvt no longer runs setuid/setgid
81 itself.
82 - new perl extension automove-background that can be used to get
83 the same effect as pseudo-transparency with any pixmap.
84 - new perl extension example: perl/selection-pastebin, can be used to
85 e.g. upload the selection to a webserver and generate a url, or
86 similar stuff.
87 - use the scrollback buffer even when the scroll region doesn't
88 span the whole screen, as long as it starts at row 0. Helps
89 for programs displaying a status line at the bottom.
90 - selection popup now shows selection in dec/hex/oct.
91 - perl/selection: matching on unicode characters in the selection
92 code was O(n²), which equals infinity in some degenerate cases
93 :-> Matching is now done on UTF-8, which makes it almost instant.
94 - perl/selection, perl/selection-autotransform: regexes are now
95 being interpreted in the locale urxvt was started.
96 - implemented override-redirect option and enabled it on menus,
97 as kwin puts our windows behind the terminal (what a shoddy wm).
98 - fixed struct utmp check in configure for OpenBSD.
99 - complete overhaul of the pty/utmp management stuff and configure
100 (Emanuele Giaquinta).
101 - add tsl/fsl and related capabilities to the terminfo description,
102 to set the window title.
103 - swap the environment in some more cases. This hopefully fixes
104 some segfaults that might be caused by xft asking for env variables
105 at the wrong time.
106 - removed src/strings.C and src/menubar.C. No menubar support
107 anymore.
108 - removed all traces of SMOOTH_REFRESH.
109 - nuked QNX support.
110 - made some fixes to xpm offset and scaling code.
111 - perl-overlays and refresh hooks were not applied in correct order.
112 - changed coordinate-system of view_start/nsaved to be top to bottom.
113 - iom extended to support listening for child exits.
114
1157.0 Fri Jan 13 14:02:18 CET 2006
116 - added sections for DISTRIBUTION MAINTAINERS and about
117 SETUID/SETGID to the FAQ.
118 - selection, searchable-scrollback, selection-popup and
119 option-popup extensions enabled by default.
120 - increased xft drawing speed for problematic fonts. The effect
121 will likely be small as 99% of the xft slowness is server-related.
122 - perl: much increased functionality, better overlays, popup support
123 and much much more.
124 - perl: urxvt::line now can set via ->t and ->r.
125 - perl: changed interpretation of --perl-ext-common and -pe.
126 - perl: finally implemented --perl-eval.
127 - perl: non-blocking anyevent support.
128 - perl: run tainted and ignore perl-eval/perl-lib if started
129 setuid/setgid.
130 - free the resource database: this plugs a massive memory leak. As a
131 side effect, it also gets rid of XGetDefault calls.
132 - free one of the cursors, fixes a small memory leak.
133 - built-in (as opposed to terminfos) visual bell was broken/too fast.
134 - applied minor cleanups by Ladislav Michnovic.
135 - applied pty handling cleanups and improvements (Emanuele Giaquinta).
136 - mark-urls launch-on-click by jepler.
137 - removed "small" resource parsing function, as it wasn't really
138 compatible, and not really small either.
139 - removed PATH_ENV and PATH file search support.
140 - removed support for locale-specific app-defaults file.
141 - fixed a bug where out-of-bounds colour sequences could lead
142 to crashes.
143 - limit colour changing to the standard 88 palette instead of all
144 colours.
145 - XTerm_Color01 sequence returned wrong results in query mode.
146 - iom.C now checks against destructed io_manager when unregistering.
147
1486.3 Wed Jan 4 22:37:10 CET 2006
149 - SECURITY FIX: on systems using openpty, permissions were
150 not correctly updated on the tty device and were left as
151 world-readable and world-writable (likely in original rxvt,
152 too), and were not restored properly. Affected are only
153 systems where non-unix ptys were used (such as most BSDs, not
154 GNU/Linux). (found, patched and debugged by Ryan Beasley).
155 - meta8 support was forcefully enabled in most configurations.
156 restored configurability of this (useless) feature (reported
157 by Mikachu).

14 perl*-resources and keysym resources. 161 perl*-resources and keysym resources. Not everything is there yet.
162 - try to be more clever about differing font sizes and their ascent.
163 Not guarenteed to work, but works better in most cases now.
15 - fix directory permissions on install. 164 - fix directory permissions on install.
16 - improved sched_yield support. 165 - implemented option to disable built-in line drawing characters
17 - meta8 support was forcefully enabled in most configurations. 166 and fall back to the font ones (patch by Martin Pohlack).
18 restored configurability of this (useless) feature (reported 167 - disabled sched_yield support: the linux version is just too useless
19 by Mikachu) 168 (it schedules nice'd processes before the own one for extended
169 periods). Too bad, it could reduce system time by a factor of 5 here.
