22TODO: rxvt -bg "#262626" -fn "xft:Andale Mono:pixelsize=15"
23 # causes some lines with #252525 in the output. rounding bug in xft?
24TODO: zero scorllback buffer should free memory
25TODO: kuake
26TODO: depth resource not working(?)
27TODO: fix the flaw in the url regex jost pointed out
28TODO: look into the selection hilight patch
29TODO: implement smartcase-like search in searchable-scrollback
30TODO: check wether -depth works as resource
31 - add FORCE_UNBUFFERED_XFT define to features.h.
32 - double-buffered xft drawing did suffer from pixel offset issues
33 when pixmap transparency was enabled.
34 - moved on_osc_seq to on_osc_seq_perl and added a more
35 generic osc_seq.
36 - fix a bug causing double callback invocations when perl hooks
37 were invoked recursively.
38 - the automove-background extension now properly works when the
39 pixmap gets reset with an osc sequence (sqweek).
40 - selection-pastebin did not work properly with non-latin1-characters.
41 - apply colorUL only when the text colour is the default fg
42 (patch by Wu Fengguang).
43 - removed rxvtlib.h from the tarball, it had no reason to be there
44 (spotted by Decklin Foster).
45 - fix compiling with TRANSPARENT but !XPM_BACKGROUND, as reported
46 by omatunto_.
47 - slap in a using namespace std, might help on platforms that don't
48 follow C++ closely enough.
49
507.7 Tue Feb 21 12:32:49 CET 2006
51 - use double-buffered drawing (xft fonts only). On many driver/hardware
52 combination this actually increases xft drawing speed, at the expense
53 of more network bandwidth and slight nausea on the side of the author.
54 - readline perl extension now requires shift-click instead of a normal
55 click, and eats the click.
56 - tabbed perl extension now supports -e.
57 - disabled graphics-exposures on the main drawing GC, report any
58 refresh bugs please.
59 - improve property handling for -pe tabbed: avoid unnecessary property
60 changes (for kde's benefit) at the expense of extra round-trips,
61 improve size hint setting.
62 - modified XIM according to a patch sent by Takano Akio that sets
63 the preedit rectangle for OverTheSpot, which helps some input methods
64 to correctly position their preedit window.
65 - un-optimise the line clearing on newly scrolled-in lines a bit: the
66 former reasoning was that any fg colour on default bg looks the same
67 in empty spaces, but thats not true when reversing (e.g. selection),
68 so also check for matching fg colours. This fixes the problem where
69 selecting newly scrolled-in lines would exhibit wrong colours.
70 - fix a bug in the perl interface causing focus in events to generate
71 focus out perl events, causing bad focus effects with -pe tabbed.
72 - fix a race resulting in a crash on exiting.
73 - fix a with --disable-xft that caused xfreecolors to be called on
74 colors never allocated, resulting in aborts (reported by Paco-Paco).
75 - resources on non-initial screens weren't refetched correctly
76 (reported by Paco-Paco).
77 - fix a bug in xcopyarea pass and _disable_ it, as it seems not to be
78 working in either rxvt-unicode nor in the original rxvt.
79 - removed undocumented -exec alias for the -e option.
80
817.6 Fri Feb 10 08:52:36 CET 2006
82 - changed interpretation of [alpha] colour prefix.
83 - +option now really sets the option to default, instead of using the
84 resource value.
85 - options that require an argument now really _require_ an argument.
86 - the tabbed extension now forwards focus and keys events to th
87 relevant tab window.
88 - tab colours are now configurable and have sensible defaults
89 (initial patch by hednod).
90 - option menu is extendable, readline, selection and
91 selection-autotransform can now be disabled/enabled at runtime.
92 - forcing a configure event to tabbed subwindows with -pe tabbed, for
93 the benefit of automove-background.
94 - the automove-background extension added a wrong constant offset.
95 - force refresh of XA_RESOURCE_STRING on virtual reconnect.
96 - return exit status 2 in urxvtc when urxvtd couldn't be contacted.
97 - the linux yield hack is back, now using usleep, and enabled only on
98 __linux__.
99 - further round trip eliminations in the !XFT case by remembering
100 the colour components.
101 - plain scrollbar works better with -sr.
102 - fixed half-shadow scrollbar look.
103 - more colour rtt optimisations.
104 - properly(?) free colours on window close.
105 - reorganised the FAQ into multiple sections.
106 - add ISO646.1991-IRV to the list of supported codesets.
107 - minor libptytty update.
108
1097.5 Tue Jan 31 15:15:43 CET 2006
110 - further improvements to the careful mode detection, and font width
111 detection:
112 - fully double-wide fonts will now be correctly treated,
113 - overlap detection was improved.
114 - detect totally broken fonts (usually synthesized by xft).
115 - careful mode forced refresh sometimes clashed with blinking,
116 causing unnecessary screen redraws.
117 - better handling of XFT combining characters.
118 - enable antialiasing for some replacement fonts, as they
119 might get used for other encodings which really need it, later.
120 - remove spacing=100 from all default fonts, as this creates totally
121 weird spacing (5 times normal) with xft.
122 - removed iso10646 fallback, as xorgs iso10646 encoded fonts are mostly
123 broken.
124 - removed gnu unifont fallback, all combining characters are broken.
125 - replace named colours by xorg's rgb.txt equivalents, to
126 reduce round trip time on startup, and short-cut allocation
127 of rgb:rr/gg/bb for xft.
128 - short-cut allocation of rgb values in the xlib case
129 (patch by Paco-Paco).
130 - overhauled color management: smaller codesize, alpha support.
131 - support "rgba:rrrr/gggg/bbbb/aaaa" color specifications and
132 an "[alpha]" prefix.
133 - try to work around Xft and Xrender forcing everything to be 100%
134 transparent. Long Live Xft!
135 - do not include X11/Intrinsic.h anymore, directly use
136 Xlib/Xutil/Xresource directly.
137 - try to find a nearest matching color when color allocation fails
138 on a pseudocolor screen.
139 - SYNCCVS: compared to rxvt-cvs 2006-01-28, no relevant changes.
140 - fix version report (DA) (which was unfortunately broken).
141 - changed version number report again, now to emulate xterm closer.
142 - added the OSC sequence 702 to detect the urxvt version number.
143 - small configure updates.
144 - further RTT optimisations.
145
1467.4 Sat Jan 28 15:26:27 CET 2006
147 - screen background wasn't always erased properly when scrolling,
148 - re-enabled clearing optimisation disabled in 7.4pre.
149 - small configure updates for libptytty.
150 - fixed version options: line output.
151 - removed stoopid debugging message left in the code.
152
1537.3 Wed Jan 25 22:47:35 CET 2006
154 - don't let iso14755 or mouse reporting get into the way of perl
155 (could lead to global grabs never being cleared).
156 - experimental OnTheSpot editing support (-pe xim-onthespot).
157 - moved Shift-Button2 paste combination to Meta-Button2.
158 - the cutchars resource will now be respected and used by the
159 selection extension.
160 - added the "remote-clipboard" extension which just runs external
161 commands to fetch and store the selection data.
162 - added -depth switch that tries to get a different visual depth
163 than the default (replaces the old PREFER_24_BIT logic).
164 - removed (unused) arabic presentation form composing sequences.
165 - be more strict when deciding that a core font glyph is too wide and
166 needs the careful rendering mode.
167 - allow more leeway for italic fonts when deciding that a character is
168 too wide and needs careful mode.
169 - redraw even more characters around characters using careful mode.
170 - made selection-pastebin fully asynchronous.
171 - reduced number of server turnarounds at startup by allocating
172 atoms only once per display.
173 - renamed on_keyboard_command to on_user_command.
174 - changed version sos (ESC [ > c) response to be more compatible with
175 xterm.
176
1777.2 Sun Jan 22 21:58:16 CET 2006
178 - bugfix: urxvt (not urxvtd) did not correctly handle multiple
179 environments necessary, which resulted in segfaults within
180 getenv (reproducable: urxvt -fn 9x15, open a menu once,
181 ctrl-shift-672c).
182 - bugfix: the selection speedup in in 7.1 unfortunately caused
183 non-ascii characters to enlarge/move the selection.
184 - bugfix: resizing sometimes leaked lines from the secondary to
185 the primary screen.
186 - bugfix: reducing window size while large amounts of text were output
187 could lead to an assertion failure.
188 - added "tabbed" extension that provides a crude tabbed terminal.
189 - added "readline" extension that allows cursor positioning
190 via mouse clicks.
191 - now it is possible to insert the value of the CLIPBOARD selection
192 with shift - mouse button 2.
193 - fixed the automove-background extension to ignore coordinates
194 in non-synthetic events.
195 - created a separate libpty for portable and secure
196 pty/tty/utmp/wtmp/lastlog handling, and include it in rxvt-unicode.
197 - the non-terminfo visual bell now works asynchronously, so
198 continuous ASCI BELs in one terminal do no longer monopolise the
199 whole urxvt[d] process.
200 - support some *BSD makes (for the time being, gnu make is a safe bet).
201 - work around bugs in FreeBSD's gcc.
202 - implemented some *BSD fixes in configure.
203 - removed support for obsolete offix dnd protocol.
204
2057.1 Thu Jan 19 20:25:34 CET 2006
206 - setuid/setgid operation is now _encouraged_: security has been
207 improved by moving privileged operations into a separate process
208 and permanently dropping privileges within the terminal. This
209 makes it possible to remove security checks from the perl code
210 and gives a much safer feeling when urxvt needs to run with
211 special privileges.
212 - perl taint checking disabled, as urxvt no longer runs setuid/setgid
213 itself.
214 - new perl extension automove-background that can be used to get
215 the same effect as pseudo-transparency with any pixmap.
216 - new perl extension example: perl/selection-pastebin, can be used to
217 e.g. upload the selection to a webserver and generate a url, or
218 similar stuff.
219 - use the scrollback buffer even when the scroll region doesn't
220 span the whole screen, as long as it starts at row 0. Helps
221 for programs displaying a status line at the bottom.
222 - selection popup now shows selection in dec/hex/oct.
223 - perl/selection: matching on unicode characters in the selection
224 code was O(n²), which equals infinity in some degenerate cases
225 :-> Matching is now done on UTF-8, which makes it almost instant.
226 - perl/selection, perl/selection-autotransform: regexes are now
227 being interpreted in the locale urxvt was started.
228 - implemented override-redirect option and enabled it on menus,
229 as kwin puts our windows behind the terminal (what a shoddy wm).
230 - fixed struct utmp check in configure for OpenBSD.
231 - complete overhaul of the pty/utmp management stuff and configure
232 (Emanuele Giaquinta).
233 - add tsl/fsl and related capabilities to the terminfo description,
234 to set the window title.
235 - swap the environment in some more cases. This hopefully fixes
236 some segfaults that might be caused by xft asking for env variables
237 at the wrong time.
238 - removed src/strings.C and src/menubar.C. No menubar support
239 anymore.
240 - removed all traces of SMOOTH_REFRESH.
241 - nuked QNX support.
242 - made some fixes to xpm offset and scaling code.
243 - perl-overlays and refresh hooks were not applied in correct order.
244 - changed coordinate-system of view_start/nsaved to be top to bottom.
245 - iom extended to support listening for child exits.
246
2477.0 Fri Jan 13 14:02:18 CET 2006
248 - added sections for DISTRIBUTION MAINTAINERS and about
249 SETUID/SETGID to the FAQ.
250 - selection, searchable-scrollback, selection-popup and
251 option-popup extensions enabled by default.
252 - increased xft drawing speed for problematic fonts. The effect
253 will likely be small as 99% of the xft slowness is server-related.
254 - perl: much increased functionality, better overlays, popup support
255 and much much more.
256 - perl: urxvt::line now can set via ->t and ->r.
257 - perl: changed interpretation of --perl-ext-common and -pe.
258 - perl: finally implemented --perl-eval.
259 - perl: non-blocking anyevent support.
260 - perl: run tainted and ignore perl-eval/perl-lib if started
261 setuid/setgid.
262 - free the resource database: this plugs a massive memory leak. As a
263 side effect, it also gets rid of XGetDefault calls.
264 - free one of the cursors, fixes a small memory leak.
265 - built-in (as opposed to terminfos) visual bell was broken/too fast.
266 - applied minor cleanups by Ladislav Michnovic.
267 - applied pty handling cleanups and improvements (Emanuele Giaquinta).
268 - mark-urls launch-on-click by jepler.
269 - removed "small" resource parsing function, as it wasn't really
270 compatible, and not really small either.
271 - removed PATH_ENV and PATH file search support.
272 - removed support for locale-specific app-defaults file.
273 - fixed a bug where out-of-bounds colour sequences could lead
274 to crashes.
275 - limit colour changing to the standard 88 palette instead of all
276 colours.
277 - XTerm_Color01 sequence returned wrong results in query mode.
278 - iom.C now checks against destructed io_manager when unregistering.
279
2806.3 Wed Jan 4 22:37:10 CET 2006
281 - SECURITY FIX: on systems using openpty, permissions were
282 not correctly updated on the tty device and were left as
283 world-readable and world-writable (likely in original rxvt,
284 too), and were not restored properly. Affected are only
285 systems where non-unix ptys were used (such as most BSDs, not
286 GNU/Linux). (found, patched and debugged by Ryan Beasley).
287 - meta8 support was forcefully enabled in most configurations.
288 restored configurability of this (useless) feature (reported
289 by Mikachu).
290 - optionally embed a perl interpreter, which can be used for more
291 intelligent/customized selection support, visual feedback,
292 menus, tabs etc. See the the urxvtperl manpage, the -pe option,
293 perl*-resources and keysym resources. Not everything is there yet.
294 - try to be more clever about differing font sizes and their ascent.
295 Not guarenteed to work, but works better in most cases now.
296 - fix directory permissions on install.
297 - implemented option to disable built-in line drawing characters
298 and fall back to the font ones (patch by Martin Pohlack).
299 - disabled sched_yield support: the linux version is just too useless
300 (it schedules nice'd processes before the own one for extended
301 periods). Too bad, it could reduce system time by a factor of 5 here.
302
3036.2 Mon Jan 2 16:03:01 CET 2006
304 - implemented intensityStyles option which enables/disables bold/blink
305 selecting high intensity foreground/background colours, suggested by
306 Chuck Blake.
307 - move iso14755 character feedback box out of the way if it would
308 obscure the mouse cursor position.
309 - replaced callback.h by a fixed version from gvpe that correctly
310 returns the callback result (affects new -pty-fd semantics in urxvtc
311 on a few architectures). Reported by darix.
312 - include one trailing space in rectangular selections to indicate
313 the inserted newline (yeah, weird, but visually more pleasing).
314 - try to use sched_yield to (drastically) improve terminal data
315 transfer efficiency.
316 - further minor cleanups.
317
3186.1 Tue Dec 27 13:23:40 CET 2005
319 - update iso8859-7 table (euro and drachma round-trip et al.).
320 - fix a crash when the selection scrolls out of the scrollback
321 while the user still drags.
322 - selections that were partially scrolled out of the window were
323 not drawn correctly.
324 - lines newly scrolled in were not initialized properly, leading
325 to extremely long lines and (hopefully) some segfaults.
326 - iso14755 overlay position was wrong.
327 - iso14755 overlay now displays rendition info, too.
328 - use unicode white space class instead of hardcoded values for
329 stripping whitespace.
330 - do whitespace stripping on rectangular selections.
331 - slight cleanups in src/features.h.
332
3336.0 Sat Dec 24 13:58:56 CET 2005
334 - make it compile without SMART_RESIZE again.
335 - enable slow link support by default.
336 - fix relative cursor-positioning not respecting scrolling regions
337 (also a bug in original rxvt).
338 - initialize termios structure to zero when fetching it fails
339 (see http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=84647 for a
340 partial patch).
341 - bump max columns/rows to 10000 each.
342 - bump max savelines to 10000000.
343 - -pty-fd now passes the urxvtc fd to the urxvtd process.
344 - avoid linking against -lnsl/-lsocket/-lxpg4 unless neccessary.
345 - major code cleanup (still not complete, though).
346 - implement -hold option.
347 - _major_ rewrite of internal buffer handling:
348 - re-flow on resize, lines get wrapped instead of winged.
349 - circular line buffer (substantially speeds up scrolling).
350 - slightly less code + data memory usage per terminal.
351 - slight overall speed improvements.
352 - considerably improved code clarity.
353 - partial-screen scrolls no longer end up in the scrollback
354 buffer.
355
3565.9 Sat Dec 17 21:53:17 CET 2005
357 - fix a bug in the menu code of unknown impact, found by darix.
358 - clean up signal handling to be global, not per terminal
359 (matters only for rxvtd).
360 - fix small typoe in rxvt.1 (found by Mike Fabian).
361 - don't crash when broken xft/fontconfig/freetype versions return
362 bogus data, ignore the xft font instead (experienced on suse).
363
3645.8 Tue Oct 25 22:21:45 CEST 2005
365 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: many configure options are now on by default.
366 If you want the old behaviour, try:
367 configure --disable-everything <your enable options>
368 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: -fade changed it's meaning to comply with
369 the documentation and common sense: when upgrading, replace your
370 percentage by 100-percentage.
371 - integrated "fade to specific colour" patch by Martin Parm.
18 - slow down the internal visual bell (delay by 20ms) and update 372 - slow down the internal visual bell (delay by 20ms) and update
19 the terminfo flash code to use the same delay. This is 373 the terminfo flash code to use the same delay. This is
20 synchronous, so many bells might inhibit screen updates in other 374 synchronous, so many bells might inhibit screen updates in other
21 windows. 375 windows.
376 - text with background==foreground colour gets displayed with default
377 bg/fg now when in reverse video, so it can be seen when selecting.
378 - allow koi8r* as x11 encoding name for koi8r (Nikita Danilov).
379 - removed undocumented inheritPixmapforce option.
380 - replaced INSTALL file.
22 381
235.7 Wed Jul 13 04:46:33 CEST 2005 3825.7 Wed Jul 13 04:46:33 CEST 2005
24 - implement some useful (hopefully) options for rxvtd. 383 - implement some useful (hopefully) options for rxvtd.
25 - separate and improved rxvtc(1) and rxvtd(1) manpages. 384 - separate and improved rxvtc(1) and rxvtd(1) manpages.
26 - fix a bug that caused segfaults on startup on systems that do 385 - fix a bug that caused segfaults on startup on systems that do

30 could almost freeze output. This has been fixed by adding extra 389 could almost freeze output. This has been fixed by adding extra
31 refreshes in these cases (also a problem in oriignal rxvt). 390 refreshes in these cases (also a problem in original rxvt).
