| 15 | 7.5 Mon Jan 30 23:49:13 CET 2006 |
20 | - fix redraw bug in xterm scrollbar with -sr (reported by Mikachu). |
|
|
21 | - fix the issue where urxvtd would not immediately close a window |
|
|
22 | when the command exited but only on the next X event. |
|
|
23 | - correctly provide dependencies for libev (µikachu). |
|
|
24 | |
|
|
25 | 8.8 Sat Dec 15 19:40:39 CET 2007 |
|
|
26 | - option -C was aliased to all unsupported options, activating |
|
|
27 | options that shouldn't be compiled in, leading to interesting |
|
|
28 | effects. |
|
|
29 | - updated libev, working around a bug in linux 2.4, curing the |
|
|
30 | symptom of urxvt not closing its window on shell exit. also |
|
|
31 | fixes a problem with urxvt not refreshing. |
|
|
32 | - the text blink callback was called even when no blinking |
|
|
33 | text was visible. |
|
|
34 | - pre-8.4 slipwheeling behaviour has been reinstated, with |
|
|
35 | some minor improvements. |
|
|
36 | - streamlined x events processing to only flush once per |
|
|
37 | display and not once per terminal window. |
|
|
38 | - quite a bit of minor code cleanups and codesize optimisations. |
|
|
39 | |
|
|
40 | 8.7 Sun Nov 25 10:23:49 CET 2007 |
|
|
41 | - update libev with an important bugfix that would cause crashes |
|
|
42 | when closing windows (when using rxvtd, and update is recommended). |
|
|
43 | - do not compile in the block builtin graphics with --disable-frills. |
|
|
44 | |
|
|
45 | 8.6 Fri Nov 23 14:10:57 CET 2007 |
|
|
46 | - upgrade libev to disable kqueue on anything but netbsd as it |
|
|
47 | seems to be broken everywhere else w.r.t. ptys. |
|
|
48 | - allow for spurious event notifications, as at least epoll and |
|
|
49 | especially solaris ports like to lie about them (symptoms: |
|
|
50 | urxvt "hangs" until there is some x11 related activity). |
|
|
51 | - -keysym command line options are now subjected to xlib parsing. |
|
|
52 | - add 'xrm' option analogous to Xt one. |
|
|
53 | |
|
|
54 | 8.5a Wed Nov 21 10:16:33 CET 2007 |
|
|
55 | - make it compile with --disable-transparency. |
|
|
56 | |
|
|
57 | 8.5 Wed Nov 21 05:19:20 CET 2007 |
|
|
58 | - expect major portability issues in this release: please test and report. |
|
|
59 | - converted from the veritable io manager event loop to |
|
|
60 | the high performance libev (http://software.schmorp.de/pkg/libev). |
|
|
61 | - minor tuning to the perl selection (include single words and more quoting chars). |
|
|
62 | - fix memory leak in pixmap code. |
|
|
63 | - fix a serious bug while setting the XIM destroy callback |
|
|
64 | on (typical) 64 bit systems. |
|
|
65 | - automove-background functionality re-implemented internaly using :root op in pixmap |
|
|
66 | geometry string. For example: rxvt -pixmap "image.jpg;:root" |
|
|
67 | - do not link rxvtc against every lib on the planet anymore. |
|
|
68 | - parallel builds should work once more. |
|
|
69 | |
|
|
70 | 8.4 Sat Oct 27 14:02:13 CEST 2007 |
|
|
71 | - overhaul of the transparency/pixmap code (sasha). |
|
|
72 | - fix possible race betwen visual bell and poweron. |
|
|
73 | (reported by Martin von Gagern, gentoo?). |
|
|
74 | - urxvt -e no longer crashes the child. |
|
|
75 | - fixed some minor memleaks on incorrect usage or |
|
|
76 | missing DISPLAY. |
|
|
77 | - implement xterm 1002/1003 mouse tracking modes (exg). |
|
|
78 | - source code organisational cleanups (exg). |
|
|
79 | - updated io_manager. |
|
|
80 | |
|
|
81 | 8.3 Wed Aug 1 20:21:31 CEST 2007 |
|
|
82 | - new option: skipScroll/-ss, enabled by default. |
|
|
83 | - go with the times and expect x11 library files in /usr/lib, not |
|
|
84 | /usr/X11R6/lib. |
|
|
85 | - initial transparency improvement/afterimage support |
|
|
86 | patch by Sasha Vasko. |
|
|
87 | - add urgentOnBell resource to set the urgency hint |
|
|
88 | (patch by Philip Paeps). |
|
|
89 | - do not process focus events caused by grabs |
|
|
90 | (patch by Mikachu). |
|
|
91 | - add iso14755_52 resource to disable iso14755 5.2 (exg). |
|
|
92 | - add binding for backspace in iso14755 5.1 to remove the last |
|
|
93 | digit (exg). |
|
|
94 | - better option handling, support more than 30 options (exg). |
|
|
95 | - nuke reconf script, serves no purpose anymore. |
|
|
96 | - fixed and documented matcher/on_user_command processing in matcher |
|
|
97 | extension (tpope). |
|
|
98 | - compile out of the box on Solaris 10 (exg). |
|
|
99 | - fix MappingNotify events (reported by Stephan Walter). |
|
|
100 | - zero-initialise mwmhints, this seems to solve all sorts of minor |
|
|
101 | problems. |
|
|
102 | |
|
|
103 | 8.2 Sat Feb 17 21:35:28 CET 2007 |
|
|
104 | - fix make depend in src/, reported by exg. |
|
|
105 | - fixed typo in urxvt::GET_CUSTOM, causing the result to be wrong. |
|
|
106 | (patch by Sergey Vlasov). |
|
|
107 | - unbundled iom perl interface somewhat. |
|
|
108 | - scrollbar-xterm now uses the selected scrollColor instead of fg |
|
|
109 | (found by Aiviru). |
|
|
110 | - disabled linux kernel bug workaround again: disabling it gives |
|
|
111 | a 50% speed hit on affected machines, while enabling it gives |
|
|
112 | a similar speed hit to screen, which is likely the more common |
|
|
113 | case to work around for :/ |
|
|
114 | - urxvt::rend2mask perl function, and utilization of it by matcher |
|
|
115 | (patch by Moshe Kamensky). |
|
|
116 | - use perl:matcher on a keysym to open most recently displayed URL. |
|
|
117 | - with matcher, when multiple patterns match, last wins, not first. |
|
|
118 | - fix make and make install with srcdir != builddir (exg). |
|
|
119 | - updated bundled libptytty to fix a bug where the tty would be kept |
|
|
120 | open (see the libptytty ChangeLog for details). |
|
|
121 | - delay setting the IUTF8 flag to after the tty settings have been |
|
|
122 | set so its value does not get lost (reported and analysed by Andrei |
|
|
123 | Paskevich). |
|
|
124 | - rip out support for obsolete sgtty.h interface. |
|
|
125 | - rip out support for non-POSIX termios variants. |
|
|
126 | - update libptytty. |
|
|
127 | - update iom.C, make it call ptytty::sanitise_stdfd on init. |
|
|
128 | - when !XFT, change rounding of colours to use a less correct formula to |
|
|
129 | meet user expectancies (#aaa becomes #a000a000a000 not #9f9f9f9f9f9f). |
|
|
130 | - change the starting offset of the pixmap set with backgroundPixmap |
|
|
131 | from (50,50) to (0,0) (exg). |
|
|
132 | - fix a typo in button_release, now meta-button2 request the value of |
|
|
133 | the Clipboard selection as it should (patch by Serge Koksharov). |
|
|
134 | - fix a bug in drawing a cell with a nonspacing char when using an xft |
|
|
135 | font with inheritPixmap and tintColor (exg). |
|
|
136 | |
|
|
137 | 8.1 Thu Dec 7 22:27:25 CET 2006 |
|
|
138 | - ｹﾘｽﾏｽﾌ゚ﾚｾ゙ﾝﾄ - zomg!!1, it's too early!!! |
|
|
139 | - fix the assumption that chars < 256 are single-width. Now |
|
|
140 | only assume this for codepoints 32 to 126 (reported by Dai.H.). |
|
|
141 | - $term->strwidth returned wide chars as width 1, because some jerk |
|
|
142 | confused min and max. Fixing this also fixes xim-onthespot. |
|
|
143 | Reported by Takano Akio. |
|
|
144 | - secondaryScroll is now enabled by default (as per the manpage), |
|
|
145 | reported by exg. |
|
|
146 | - correct the description of [percent]color rgba format in the manpage. |
|
|
147 | - incorporated macosx-clipboard extension by Samuel Ljungkvist. |
|
|
148 | - ignore (some) useless focus events (reported by mmc). |
|
|
149 | - updated compose table to unicode 5.0.0. |
|
|
150 | |
|
|
151 | 8.0 Thu Nov 2 18:35:19 CET 2006 |
|
|
152 | - combining characters cleared the area instead of creating an overlay, |
|
|
153 | thus losing the ability to draw combining characters properly in most |
|
|
154 | circumstances (reported by exg). |
|
|
155 | - specified fonts were incorrectly morphed to bold/italic according to the |
|
|
156 | basefont, even if explicitly specified (tracked down by tpope). |
|
|
157 | - fixed urxvt::strwidth to calculate width in the same way as screen.C. |
|
|
158 | - fix a crash caused by passing negative widths to overlay functions. |
|
|
159 | - added 'matcher' extension by tpope, replacing the mark-urls extension. |
|
|
160 | - improve url regex to match anything www.* (tpope). |
|
|
161 | - fixed bug with outline cursor color being wrong after xft fonts. |
|
|
162 | - update to libptytty-1.0. |
|
|
163 | - give proper diagnostic when RXVT_SOCKET is too long instead of |
|
|
164 | corrupting the stack (patch by exg). |
|
|
165 | - display current terminal locale in option menu. |
|
|
166 | - urxvtd no longer crashes when the client sends an inaccessible |
|
|
167 | working directory (reported by Roland Baer, possibly fixes gentoo |
|
|
168 | bug #143985). |
|
|
169 | - fixed many minor issues reported by Roland Baer. |
|
|
170 | - Leonid Khramov spotted a minor glitch in rxvtfont.C that |
|
|
171 | should not have any consequences, but was buggy nonetheless. |
|
|
172 | - manpage fix by exg. |
|
|
173 | |
|
|
174 | 7.9 Mon Aug 7 18:16:07 CEST 2006 |
|
|
175 | - fix the crashing bug people encountered with 7.8 + urxvtd + perl |
|
|
176 | + transparency. Ought to fix debian bug #380348. |
|
|
177 | - fix urxvtc.1.pod: it actually claimed -pty-fd would not work. But |
|
|
178 | it does! :-> |
|
|
179 | - rxvt_fatal() in case the locale string is too long for our static buffer. |
|
|
180 | - fixed many, many, typos in the manpages (patch supplied by ves). |
|
|
181 | |
|
|
182 | 7.8 Mon Jul 17 21:00:46 CEST 2006 |
|
|
183 | - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: this version will always read ~/.Xdefaults, |
|
|
184 | earlier versions only read it if display-resources (usually from |
|
|
185 | .Xresources) are not set. This avoids the #1 FAQ ("why isn't my |
|
|
186 | resource used") and seems to be logical behaviour, too. .Xdefaults |
|
|
187 | resources have a lower priority than display-specific resources. |
|
|
188 | - add "kuake" perl extension that does a similar thing to the kuake |
|
|
189 | terminal emulator (see man urxtvperl). |
|
|
190 | - use less "correct" color scaling that is compatible with libX11 and |
|
|
191 | Xft (avoids off-by-one colors resulting in striped backgrounds). |
|
|
192 | - the "depth" resource is now respected. |
|
|
193 | - preset the searchable-scrollback pattern with "(?i)" to default search |
|
|
194 | to case-insensitivity. Will automatically be cleared when typing an |
|
|
195 | uppercase character. |
|
|
196 | - add FORCE_UNBUFFERED_XFT define to features.h. |
|
|
197 | - re-enabled highlightcolor support with --enable-frills, based on |
|
|
198 | a patch by Martin Stubenschrott. |
|
|
199 | - double-buffered xft drawing did suffer from pixel offset issues |
|
|
200 | when pixmap transparency was enabled. |
|
|
201 | - strategically add # to the url-match regexes, as we really want to |
|
|
202 | match common URIs not common URLs. Reported by Aaron Griffin. |
|
|
203 | - moved on_osc_seq to on_osc_seq_perl and added a more |
|
|
204 | generic osc_seq. |
|
|
205 | - fix a bug causing double callback invocations when perl hooks |
|
|
206 | were invoked recursively. |
|
|
207 | - the automove-background extension now properly works when the |
|
|
208 | pixmap gets reset with an osc sequence (sqweek). |
|
|
209 | - selection-pastebin did not work properly with non-latin1-characters. |
|
|
210 | - apply colorUL only when the text colour is the default fg |
|
|
211 | (patch by Wu Fengguang). |
|
|
212 | - removed rxvtlib.h from the tarball, it had no reason to be there |
|
|
213 | (spotted by Decklin Foster). |
|
|
214 | - fix compiling with TRANSPARENT but !XPM_BACKGROUND, as reported |
|
|
215 | by omatunto_. |
|
|
216 | - slap in a using namespace std, might help on platforms that don't |
|
|
217 | follow C++ closely enough. |
|
|
218 | - fix mailto url regex, spotted within milliseconds by Jost Krieger. |
|
|
219 | - applied fade_color_update_func.patch by WU Fengguang. |
|
|
220 | - fix a bug where (due to an optimisation in av_delete), hiding the |
|
|
221 | bottom-most overlay would hide two overlays. |
|
|
222 | |
|
|
223 | 7.7 Tue Feb 21 12:32:49 CET 2006 |
|
|
224 | - use double-buffered drawing (xft fonts only). On many driver/hardware |
|
|
225 | combination this actually increases xft drawing speed, at the expense |
|
|
226 | of more network bandwidth and slight nausea on the side of the author. |
|
|
227 | - readline perl extension now requires shift-click instead of a normal |
|
|
228 | click, and eats the click. |
|
|
229 | - tabbed perl extension now supports -e. |
|
|
230 | - disabled graphics-exposures on the main drawing GC, report any |
|
|
231 | refresh bugs please. |
|
|
232 | - improve property handling for -pe tabbed: avoid unnecessary property |
|
|
233 | changes (for kde's benefit) at the expense of extra round-trips, |
|
|
234 | improve size hint setting. |
|
|
235 | - modified XIM according to a patch sent by Takano Akio that sets |
|
|
236 | the preedit rectangle for OverTheSpot, which helps some input methods |
|
|
237 | to correctly position their preedit window. |
|
|
238 | - un-optimise the line clearing on newly scrolled-in lines a bit: the |
|
|
239 | former reasoning was that any fg colour on default bg looks the same |
|
|
240 | in empty spaces, but thats not true when reversing (e.g. selection), |
|
|
241 | so also check for matching fg colours. This fixes the problem where |
|
|
242 | selecting newly scrolled-in lines would exhibit wrong colours. |
|
|
243 | - fix a bug in the perl interface causing focus in events to generate |
|
|
244 | focus out perl events, causing bad focus effects with -pe tabbed. |
|
|
245 | - fix a race resulting in a crash on exiting. |
|
|
246 | - fix a with --disable-xft that caused xfreecolors to be called on |
|
|
247 | colors never allocated, resulting in aborts (reported by Paco-Paco). |
|
|
248 | - resources on non-initial screens weren't refetched correctly |
|
|
249 | (reported by Paco-Paco). |
|
|
250 | - fix a bug in xcopyarea pass and _disable_ it, as it seems not to be |
|
|
251 | working in either rxvt-unicode nor in the original rxvt. |
|
|
252 | - removed undocumented -exec alias for the -e option. |
|
|
253 | |
|
|
254 | 7.6 Fri Feb 10 08:52:36 CET 2006 |
|
|
255 | - changed interpretation of [alpha] colour prefix. |
|
|
256 | - +option now really sets the option to default, instead of using the |
|
|
257 | resource value. |
|
|
258 | - options that require an argument now really _require_ an argument. |
|
|
259 | - the tabbed extension now forwards focus and keys events to th |
|
|
260 | relevant tab window. |
|
|
261 | - tab colours are now configurable and have sensible defaults |
|
|
262 | (initial patch by hednod). |
|
|
263 | - option menu is extendable, readline, selection and |
|
|
264 | selection-autotransform can now be disabled/enabled at runtime. |
|
|
265 | - forcing a configure event to tabbed subwindows with -pe tabbed, for |
|
|
266 | the benefit of automove-background. |
|
|
267 | - the automove-background extension added a wrong constant offset. |
|
|
268 | - force refresh of XA_RESOURCE_STRING on virtual reconnect. |
|
|
269 | - return exit status 2 in urxvtc when urxvtd couldn't be contacted. |
|
|
270 | - the linux yield hack is back, now using usleep, and enabled only on |
|
|
271 | __linux__. |
|
|
272 | - further round trip eliminations in the !XFT case by remembering |
|
|
273 | the colour components. |
|
|
274 | - plain scrollbar works better with -sr. |
|
|
275 | - fixed half-shadow scrollbar look. |
|
|
276 | - more colour rtt optimisations. |
|
|
277 | - properly(?) free colours on window close. |
|
|
278 | - reorganised the FAQ into multiple sections. |
|
|
279 | - add ISO646.1991-IRV to the list of supported codesets. |
|
|
280 | - minor libptytty update. |
|
|
281 | |
|
|
282 | 7.5 Tue Jan 31 15:15:43 CET 2006 |
