185.8 16 - improve property handling for -pe tabbed: avoid unneecssary property
17 changes (for kde's benefit) at the expense of extra round-trips,
18 improve size hint setting.
19
207.6 Fri Feb 10 08:52:36 CET 2006
21 - changed interpretation of [alpha] colour prefix.
22 - +option now really sets the option to default, instead of using the
23 resource value.
24 - options that require an argument now really _require_ an argument.
25 - the tabbed extension now forwards focus and keys events to th
26 relevant tab window.
27 - tab colours are now configurable and have sensible defaults
28 (initial patch by hednod).
29 - option menu is extendable, readline, selection and
30 selection-autotransform can now be disabled/enabled at runtime.
31 - forcing a configure event to tabbed subwindows with -pe tabbed, for
32 the benefit of automove-background.
33 - the automove-background extension added a wrong constant offset.
34 - force refresh of XA_RESOURCE_STRING on virtual reconnect.
35 - return exit status 2 in urxvtc when urxvtd couldn't be contacted.
36 - the linux yield hack is back, now using usleep, and enabled only on
37 __linux__.
38 - further round trip eliminations in the !XFT case by remembering
39 the colour components.
40 - plain scrollbar works better with -sr.
41 - fixed half-shadow scrollbar look.
42 - more colour rtt optimisations.
43 - properly(?) free colours on window close.
44 - reorganised the FAQ into multiple sections.
45 - add ISO646.1991-IRV to the list of supported codesets.
46 - minor libptytty update.
47
487.5 Tue Jan 31 15:15:43 CET 2006
49 - further improvements to the careful mode detection, and font width
50 detection:
51 - fully double-wide fonts will now be correctly treated,
52 - overlap detection was improved.
53 - detect totally broken fonts (usually synthesized by xft).
54 - careful mode forced refresh sometimes clashed with blinking,
55 causing unnecessary screen redraws.
56 - better handling of XFT combining characters.
57 - enable antialiasing for some replacement fonts, as they
58 might get used for other encodings which really need it, later.
59 - remove spacing=100 from all default fonts, as this creates totally
60 weird spacing (5 times normal) with xft.
61 - removed iso10646 fallback, as xorgs iso10646 encoded fonts are mostly
62 broken.
63 - removed gnu unifont fallback, all combining characters are broken.
64 - replace named colours by xorg's rgb.txt equivalents, to
65 reduce round trip time on startup, and short-cut allocation
66 of rgb:rr/gg/bb for xft.
67 - short-cut allocation of rgb values in the xlib case
68 (patch by Paco-Paco).
69 - overhauled color management: smaller codesize, alpha support.
70 - support "rgba:rrrr/gggg/bbbb/aaaa" color specifications and
71 an "[alpha]" prefix.
72 - try to work around Xft and Xrender forcing everything to be 100%
73 transparent. Long Live Xft!
74 - do not include X11/Intrinsic.h anymore, directly use
75 Xlib/Xutil/Xresource directly.
76 - try to find a nearest matching color when color allocation fails
77 on a pseudocolor screen.
78 - SYNCCVS: compared to rxvt-cvs 2006-01-28, no relevant changes.
79 - fix version report (DA) (which was unfortunately broken).
80 - changed version number report again, now to emulate xterm closer.
81 - added the OSC sequence 702 to detect the urxvt version number.
82 - small configure updates.
83 - further RTT optimisations.
84
857.4 Sat Jan 28 15:26:27 CET 2006
86 - screen background wasn't always erased properly when scrolling,
87 - re-enabled clearing optimisation disabled in 7.4pre.
88 - small configure updates for libptytty.
89 - fixed version options: line output.
90 - removed stoopid debugging message left in the code.
91
927.3 Wed Jan 25 22:47:35 CET 2006
93 - don't let iso14755 or mouse reporting get into the way of perl
94 (could lead to global grabs never being cleared).
95 - experimental OnTheSpot editing support (-pe xim-onthespot).
96 - moved Shift-Button2 paste combination to Meta-Button2.
97 - the cutchars resource will now be respected and used by the
98 selection extension.
99 - added the "remote-clipboard" extension which just runs external
100 commands to fetch and store the selection data.
101 - added -depth switch that tries to get a different visual depth
102 than the default (replaces the old PREFER_24_BIT logic).
103 - removed (unused) arabic presentation form composing sequences.
104 - be more strict when deciding that a core font glyph is too wide and
105 needs the careful rendering mode.
106 - allow more leeway for italic fonts when deciding that a character is
107 too wide and needs careful mode.
108 - redraw even more characters around characters using careful mode.
109 - made selection-pastebin fully asynchronous.
110 - reduced number of server turnarounds at startup by allocating
111 atoms only once per display.
112 - renamed on_keyboard_command to on_user_command.
113 - changed version sos (ESC [ > c) response to be more compatible with
114 xterm.
115
1167.2 Sun Jan 22 21:58:16 CET 2006
117 - bugfix: urxvt (not urxvtd) did not correctly handle multiple
118 environments necessary, which resulted in segfaults within
119 getenv (reproducable: urxvt -fn 9x15, open a menu once,
120 ctrl-shift-672c).
121 - bugfix: the selection speedup in in 7.1 unfortunately caused
122 non-ascii characters to enlarge/move the selection.
123 - bugfix: resizing sometimes leaked lines from the secondary to
124 the primary screen.
125 - bugfix: reducing window size while large amounts of text were output
126 could lead to an assertion failure.
127 - added "tabbed" extension that provides a crude tabbed terminal.
128 - added "readline" extension that allows cursor positioning
129 via mouse clicks.
130 - now it is possible to insert the value of the CLIPBOARD selection
131 with shift - mouse button 2.
132 - fixed the automove-background extension to ignore coordinates
133 in non-synthetic events.
134 - created a separate libpty for portable and secure
135 pty/tty/utmp/wtmp/lastlog handling, and include it in rxvt-unicode.
136 - the non-terminfo visual bell now works asynchronously, so
137 continuous ASCI BELs in one terminal do no longer monopolise the
138 whole urxvt[d] process.
139 - support some *BSD makes (for the time being, gnu make is a safe bet).
140 - work around bugs in FreeBSD's gcc.
141 - implemented some *BSD fixes in configure.
142 - removed support for obsolete offix dnd protocol.
143
1447.1 Thu Jan 19 20:25:34 CET 2006
145 - setuid/setgid operation is now _encouraged_: security has been
146 improved by moving privileged operations into a separate process
147 and permanently dropping privileges within the terminal. This
148 makes it possible to remove security checks from the perl code
149 and gives a much safer feeling when urxvt needs to run with
150 special privileges.
151 - perl taint checking disabled, as urxvt no longer runs setuid/setgid
152 itself.
153 - new perl extension automove-background that can be used to get
154 the same effect as pseudo-transparency with any pixmap.
155 - new perl extension example: perl/selection-pastebin, can be used to
156 e.g. upload the selection to a webserver and generate a url, or
157 similar stuff.
158 - use the scrollback buffer even when the scroll region doesn't
159 span the whole screen, as long as it starts at row 0. Helps
160 for programs displaying a status line at the bottom.
161 - selection popup now shows selection in dec/hex/oct.
162 - perl/selection: matching on unicode characters in the selection
163 code was O(n²), which equals infinity in some degenerate cases
164 :-> Matching is now done on UTF-8, which makes it almost instant.
165 - perl/selection, perl/selection-autotransform: regexes are now
166 being interpreted in the locale urxvt was started.
167 - implemented override-redirect option and enabled it on menus,
168 as kwin puts our windows behind the terminal (what a shoddy wm).
169 - fixed struct utmp check in configure for OpenBSD.
170 - complete overhaul of the pty/utmp management stuff and configure
171 (Emanuele Giaquinta).
172 - add tsl/fsl and related capabilities to the terminfo description,
173 to set the window title.
174 - swap the environment in some more cases. This hopefully fixes
175 some segfaults that might be caused by xft asking for env variables
176 at the wrong time.
177 - removed src/strings.C and src/menubar.C. No menubar support
178 anymore.
179 - removed all traces of SMOOTH_REFRESH.
180 - nuked QNX support.
181 - made some fixes to xpm offset and scaling code.
182 - perl-overlays and refresh hooks were not applied in correct order.
183 - changed coordinate-system of view_start/nsaved to be top to bottom.
184 - iom extended to support listening for child exits.
185
1867.0 Fri Jan 13 14:02:18 CET 2006
187 - added sections for DISTRIBUTION MAINTAINERS and about
188 SETUID/SETGID to the FAQ.
189 - selection, searchable-scrollback, selection-popup and
190 option-popup extensions enabled by default.
191 - increased xft drawing speed for problematic fonts. The effect
192 will likely be small as 99% of the xft slowness is server-related.
193 - perl: much increased functionality, better overlays, popup support
194 and much much more.
195 - perl: urxvt::line now can set via ->t and ->r.
196 - perl: changed interpretation of --perl-ext-common and -pe.
197 - perl: finally implemented --perl-eval.
198 - perl: non-blocking anyevent support.
199 - perl: run tainted and ignore perl-eval/perl-lib if started
200 setuid/setgid.
201 - free the resource database: this plugs a massive memory leak. As a
202 side effect, it also gets rid of XGetDefault calls.
203 - free one of the cursors, fixes a small memory leak.
204 - built-in (as opposed to terminfos) visual bell was broken/too fast.
205 - applied minor cleanups by Ladislav Michnovic.
206 - applied pty handling cleanups and improvements (Emanuele Giaquinta).
207 - mark-urls launch-on-click by jepler.
208 - removed "small" resource parsing function, as it wasn't really
209 compatible, and not really small either.
210 - removed PATH_ENV and PATH file search support.
211 - removed support for locale-specific app-defaults file.
212 - fixed a bug where out-of-bounds colour sequences could lead
213 to crashes.
214 - limit colour changing to the standard 88 palette instead of all
215 colours.
216 - XTerm_Color01 sequence returned wrong results in query mode.
217 - iom.C now checks against destructed io_manager when unregistering.
218
2196.3 Wed Jan 4 22:37:10 CET 2006
220 - SECURITY FIX: on systems using openpty, permissions were
221 not correctly updated on the tty device and were left as
222 world-readable and world-writable (likely in original rxvt,
223 too), and were not restored properly. Affected are only
224 systems where non-unix ptys were used (such as most BSDs, not
225 GNU/Linux). (found, patched and debugged by Ryan Beasley).
226 - meta8 support was forcefully enabled in most configurations.
227 restored configurability of this (useless) feature (reported
228 by Mikachu).
229 - optionally embed a perl interpreter, which can be used for more
230 intelligent/customized selection support, visual feedback,
231 menus, tabs etc. See the the urxvtperl manpage, the -pe option,
232 perl*-resources and keysym resources. Not everything is there yet.
233 - try to be more clever about differing font sizes and their ascent.
234 Not guarenteed to work, but works better in most cases now.
235 - fix directory permissions on install.
236 - implemented option to disable built-in line drawing characters
237 and fall back to the font ones (patch by Martin Pohlack).
238 - disabled sched_yield support: the linux version is just too useless
239 (it schedules nice'd processes before the own one for extended
240 periods). Too bad, it could reduce system time by a factor of 5 here.
241
2426.2 Mon Jan 2 16:03:01 CET 2006
243 - implemented intensityStyles option which enables/disables bold/blink
244 selecting high intensity foreground/background colours, suggested by
245 Chuck Blake.
246 - move iso14755 character feedback box out of the way if it would
247 obscure the mouse cursor position.
248 - replaced callback.h by a fixed version from gvpe that correctly
249 returns the callback result (affects new -pty-fd semantics in urxvtc
250 on a few architectures). Reported by darix.
251 - include one trailing space in rectangular selections to indicate
252 the inserted newline (yeah, weird, but visually more pleasing).
253 - try to use sched_yield to (drastically) improve terminal data
254 transfer efficiency.
255 - further minor cleanups.
256
2576.1 Tue Dec 27 13:23:40 CET 2005
258 - update iso8859-7 table (euro and drachma round-trip et al.).
259 - fix a crash when the selection scrolls out of the scrollback
260 while the user still drags.
261 - selections that were partially scrolled out of the window were
262 not drawn correctly.
263 - lines newly scrolled in were not initialized properly, leading
264 to extremely long lines and (hopefully) some segfaults.
265 - iso14755 overlay position was wrong.
266 - iso14755 overlay now displays rendition info, too.
267 - use unicode white space class instead of hardcoded values for
268 stripping whitespace.
269 - do whitespace stripping on rectangular selections.
270 - slight cleanups in src/features.h.
271
2726.0 Sat Dec 24 13:58:56 CET 2005
273 - make it compile without SMART_RESIZE again.
274 - enable slow link support by default.
275 - fix relative cursor-positioning not respecting scrolling regions
276 (also a bug in original rxvt).
277 - initialize termios structure to zero when fetching it fails
278 (see http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=84647 for a
279 partial patch).
280 - bump max columns/rows to 10000 each.
281 - bump max savelines to 10000000.
282 - -pty-fd now passes the urxvtc fd to the urxvtd process.
283 - avoid linking against -lnsl/-lsocket/-lxpg4 unless neccessary.
284 - major code cleanup (still not complete, though).
285 - implement -hold option.
286 - _major_ rewrite of internal buffer handling:
287 - re-flow on resize, lines get wrapped instead of winged.
288 - circular line buffer (substantially speeds up scrolling).
289 - slightly less code + data memory usage per terminal.
290 - slight overall speed improvements.
291 - considerably improved code clarity.
292 - partial-screen scrolls no longer end up in the scrollback
293 buffer.
294
2955.9 Sat Dec 17 21:53:17 CET 2005
296 - fix a bug in the menu code of unknown impact, found by darix.
297 - clean up signal handling to be global, not per terminal
298 (matters only for rxvtd).
299 - fix small typoe in rxvt.1 (found by Mike Fabian).
300 - don't crash when broken xft/fontconfig/freetype versions return
301 bogus data, ignore the xft font instead (experienced on suse).
302
3035.8 Tue Oct 25 22:21:45 CEST 2005
304 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: many configure options are now on by default.

318 - removed undocumented inheritPixmapforce option.
319 - replaced INSTALL file.
