24TODO: kuake
25 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: this version will always read ~/.Xdefaults,
26 earlier versions only read it if display-resources (usually from
27 .Xresources) are not set. This avoids the #1 FAQ ("why isn't my
28 resource used") and seems to be logical behaviour, too. .Xdefaults
29 resources have a lower priority than display-specific resources.
30 - use less "correct" color scaling that is compatible with libX11 and
31 Xft (avoids off-by-one colors resulting in striped backgrounds).
32 - the "depth" resource is now respected.
33 - preset the searchable-scrollback pattern with "(?i)" to default search
34 to case-insensitivity. Will automatically be cleared when typing an
35 uppercase character.
36 - add FORCE_UNBUFFERED_XFT define to features.h.
37 - re-enabled highlightcolor support with --enable-frills, based on
38 a patch by Martin Stubenschrott.
39 - double-buffered xft drawing did suffer from pixel offset issues
40 when pixmap transparency was enabled.
41 - strategically add # to the url-match regexes, as we really want to
42 match common URIs not common URLs. Reported by Aaron Griffin.
43 - moved on_osc_seq to on_osc_seq_perl and added a more
44 generic osc_seq.
45 - fix a bug causing double callback invocations when perl hooks
46 were invoked recursively.
47 - the automove-background extension now properly works when the
48 pixmap gets reset with an osc sequence (sqweek).
49 - selection-pastebin did not work properly with non-latin1-characters.
50 - apply colorUL only when the text colour is the default fg
51 (patch by Wu Fengguang).
52 - removed rxvtlib.h from the tarball, it had no reason to be there
53 (spotted by Decklin Foster).
54 - fix compiling with TRANSPARENT but !XPM_BACKGROUND, as reported
55 by omatunto_.
56 - slap in a using namespace std, might help on platforms that don't
57 follow C++ closely enough.
58 - fix mailto url regex, spotted within milliseconds by Jost Krieger.
59 - applied fade_color_update_func.patch by WU Fengguang.
60 - fix a bug where (due to an optimisation in av_delete), hiding the
61 bottom-most overlay would hide two overlays.
62
637.7 Tue Feb 21 12:32:49 CET 2006
64 - use double-buffered drawing (xft fonts only). On many driver/hardware
65 combination this actually increases xft drawing speed, at the expense
66 of more network bandwidth and slight nausea on the side of the author.
67 - readline perl extension now requires shift-click instead of a normal
68 click, and eats the click.
69 - tabbed perl extension now supports -e.
70 - disabled graphics-exposures on the main drawing GC, report any
71 refresh bugs please.
72 - improve property handling for -pe tabbed: avoid unnecessary property
73 changes (for kde's benefit) at the expense of extra round-trips,
74 improve size hint setting.
75 - modified XIM according to a patch sent by Takano Akio that sets
76 the preedit rectangle for OverTheSpot, which helps some input methods
77 to correctly position their preedit window.
78 - un-optimise the line clearing on newly scrolled-in lines a bit: the
79 former reasoning was that any fg colour on default bg looks the same
80 in empty spaces, but thats not true when reversing (e.g. selection),
81 so also check for matching fg colours. This fixes the problem where
82 selecting newly scrolled-in lines would exhibit wrong colours.
83 - fix a bug in the perl interface causing focus in events to generate
84 focus out perl events, causing bad focus effects with -pe tabbed.
85 - fix a race resulting in a crash on exiting.
86 - fix a with --disable-xft that caused xfreecolors to be called on
87 colors never allocated, resulting in aborts (reported by Paco-Paco).
88 - resources on non-initial screens weren't refetched correctly
89 (reported by Paco-Paco).
90 - fix a bug in xcopyarea pass and _disable_ it, as it seems not to be
91 working in either rxvt-unicode nor in the original rxvt.
92 - removed undocumented -exec alias for the -e option.
93
947.6 Fri Feb 10 08:52:36 CET 2006
95 - changed interpretation of [alpha] colour prefix.
96 - +option now really sets the option to default, instead of using the
97 resource value.
98 - options that require an argument now really _require_ an argument.
99 - the tabbed extension now forwards focus and keys events to th
100 relevant tab window.
101 - tab colours are now configurable and have sensible defaults
102 (initial patch by hednod).
103 - option menu is extendable, readline, selection and
104 selection-autotransform can now be disabled/enabled at runtime.
105 - forcing a configure event to tabbed subwindows with -pe tabbed, for
106 the benefit of automove-background.
107 - the automove-background extension added a wrong constant offset.
108 - force refresh of XA_RESOURCE_STRING on virtual reconnect.
109 - return exit status 2 in urxvtc when urxvtd couldn't be contacted.
110 - the linux yield hack is back, now using usleep, and enabled only on
111 __linux__.
112 - further round trip eliminations in the !XFT case by remembering
113 the colour components.
114 - plain scrollbar works better with -sr.
115 - fixed half-shadow scrollbar look.
116 - more colour rtt optimisations.
117 - properly(?) free colours on window close.
118 - reorganised the FAQ into multiple sections.
119 - add ISO646.1991-IRV to the list of supported codesets.
120 - minor libptytty update.
121
1227.5 Tue Jan 31 15:15:43 CET 2006
123 - further improvements to the careful mode detection, and font width
124 detection:
125 - fully double-wide fonts will now be correctly treated,
126 - overlap detection was improved.
127 - detect totally broken fonts (usually synthesized by xft).
128 - careful mode forced refresh sometimes clashed with blinking,
129 causing unnecessary screen redraws.
130 - better handling of XFT combining characters.
131 - enable antialiasing for some replacement fonts, as they
132 might get used for other encodings which really need it, later.
133 - remove spacing=100 from all default fonts, as this creates totally
134 weird spacing (5 times normal) with xft.
135 - removed iso10646 fallback, as xorgs iso10646 encoded fonts are mostly
136 broken.
137 - removed gnu unifont fallback, all combining characters are broken.
138 - replace named colours by xorg's rgb.txt equivalents, to
139 reduce round trip time on startup, and short-cut allocation
140 of rgb:rr/gg/bb for xft.
141 - short-cut allocation of rgb values in the xlib case
142 (patch by Paco-Paco).
143 - overhauled color management: smaller codesize, alpha support.
144 - support "rgba:rrrr/gggg/bbbb/aaaa" color specifications and
145 an "[alpha]" prefix.
146 - try to work around Xft and Xrender forcing everything to be 100%
147 transparent. Long Live Xft!
148 - do not include X11/Intrinsic.h anymore, directly use
149 Xlib/Xutil/Xresource directly.
150 - try to find a nearest matching color when color allocation fails
151 on a pseudocolor screen.
152 - SYNCCVS: compared to rxvt-cvs 2006-01-28, no relevant changes.
153 - fix version report (DA) (which was unfortunately broken).
154 - changed version number report again, now to emulate xterm closer.
155 - added the OSC sequence 702 to detect the urxvt version number.
156 - small configure updates.
157 - further RTT optimisations.
158
1597.4 Sat Jan 28 15:26:27 CET 2006
160 - screen background wasn't always erased properly when scrolling,
161 - re-enabled clearing optimisation disabled in 7.4pre.
162 - small configure updates for libptytty.
163 - fixed version options: line output.
164 - removed stoopid debugging message left in the code.
165
1667.3 Wed Jan 25 22:47:35 CET 2006
167 - don't let iso14755 or mouse reporting get into the way of perl
168 (could lead to global grabs never being cleared).
169 - experimental OnTheSpot editing support (-pe xim-onthespot).
170 - moved Shift-Button2 paste combination to Meta-Button2.
171 - the cutchars resource will now be respected and used by the
172 selection extension.
173 - added the "remote-clipboard" extension which just runs external
174 commands to fetch and store the selection data.
175 - added -depth switch that tries to get a different visual depth
176 than the default (replaces the old PREFER_24_BIT logic).
177 - removed (unused) arabic presentation form composing sequences.
178 - be more strict when deciding that a core font glyph is too wide and
179 needs the careful rendering mode.
180 - allow more leeway for italic fonts when deciding that a character is
181 too wide and needs careful mode.
182 - redraw even more characters around characters using careful mode.
183 - made selection-pastebin fully asynchronous.
184 - reduced number of server turnarounds at startup by allocating
185 atoms only once per display.
186 - renamed on_keyboard_command to on_user_command.
187 - changed version sos (ESC [ > c) response to be more compatible with
188 xterm.
189
1907.2 Sun Jan 22 21:58:16 CET 2006
191 - bugfix: urxvt (not urxvtd) did not correctly handle multiple
192 environments necessary, which resulted in segfaults within
193 getenv (reproducable: urxvt -fn 9x15, open a menu once,
194 ctrl-shift-672c).
195 - bugfix: the selection speedup in in 7.1 unfortunately caused
196 non-ascii characters to enlarge/move the selection.
197 - bugfix: resizing sometimes leaked lines from the secondary to
198 the primary screen.
199 - bugfix: reducing window size while large amounts of text were output
200 could lead to an assertion failure.
201 - added "tabbed" extension that provides a crude tabbed terminal.
202 - added "readline" extension that allows cursor positioning
203 via mouse clicks.
204 - now it is possible to insert the value of the CLIPBOARD selection
205 with shift - mouse button 2.
206 - fixed the automove-background extension to ignore coordinates
207 in non-synthetic events.
208 - created a separate libpty for portable and secure
209 pty/tty/utmp/wtmp/lastlog handling, and include it in rxvt-unicode.
210 - the non-terminfo visual bell now works asynchronously, so
211 continuous ASCI BELs in one terminal do no longer monopolise the
212 whole urxvt[d] process.
213 - support some *BSD makes (for the time being, gnu make is a safe bet).
214 - work around bugs in FreeBSD's gcc.
215 - implemented some *BSD fixes in configure.
216 - removed support for obsolete offix dnd protocol.
217
2187.1 Thu Jan 19 20:25:34 CET 2006
219 - setuid/setgid operation is now _encouraged_: security has been
220 improved by moving privileged operations into a separate process
221 and permanently dropping privileges within the terminal. This
222 makes it possible to remove security checks from the perl code
223 and gives a much safer feeling when urxvt needs to run with
224 special privileges.
225 - perl taint checking disabled, as urxvt no longer runs setuid/setgid
226 itself.
227 - new perl extension automove-background that can be used to get
228 the same effect as pseudo-transparency with any pixmap.
229 - new perl extension example: perl/selection-pastebin, can be used to
230 e.g. upload the selection to a webserver and generate a url, or
231 similar stuff.
232 - use the scrollback buffer even when the scroll region doesn't
233 span the whole screen, as long as it starts at row 0. Helps
234 for programs displaying a status line at the bottom.
235 - selection popup now shows selection in dec/hex/oct.
236 - perl/selection: matching on unicode characters in the selection
237 code was O(n²), which equals infinity in some degenerate cases
238 :-> Matching is now done on UTF-8, which makes it almost instant.
239 - perl/selection, perl/selection-autotransform: regexes are now
240 being interpreted in the locale urxvt was started.
241 - implemented override-redirect option and enabled it on menus,
242 as kwin puts our windows behind the terminal (what a shoddy wm).
243 - fixed struct utmp check in configure for OpenBSD.
244 - complete overhaul of the pty/utmp management stuff and configure
245 (Emanuele Giaquinta).
246 - add tsl/fsl and related capabilities to the terminfo description,
247 to set the window title.
248 - swap the environment in some more cases. This hopefully fixes
249 some segfaults that might be caused by xft asking for env variables
250 at the wrong time.
251 - removed src/strings.C and src/menubar.C. No menubar support
252 anymore.
253 - removed all traces of SMOOTH_REFRESH.
254 - nuked QNX support.
255 - made some fixes to xpm offset and scaling code.
256 - perl-overlays and refresh hooks were not applied in correct order.
257 - changed coordinate-system of view_start/nsaved to be top to bottom.
258 - iom extended to support listening for child exits.
259
2607.0 Fri Jan 13 14:02:18 CET 2006
261 - added sections for DISTRIBUTION MAINTAINERS and about
262 SETUID/SETGID to the FAQ.
263 - selection, searchable-scrollback, selection-popup and
264 option-popup extensions enabled by default.
265 - increased xft drawing speed for problematic fonts. The effect
266 will likely be small as 99% of the xft slowness is server-related.
267 - perl: much increased functionality, better overlays, popup support
268 and much much more.
269 - perl: urxvt::line now can set via ->t and ->r.
270 - perl: changed interpretation of --perl-ext-common and -pe.
271 - perl: finally implemented --perl-eval.
272 - perl: non-blocking anyevent support.
273 - perl: run tainted and ignore perl-eval/perl-lib if started
274 setuid/setgid.
275 - free the resource database: this plugs a massive memory leak. As a
276 side effect, it also gets rid of XGetDefault calls.
277 - free one of the cursors, fixes a small memory leak.
278 - built-in (as opposed to terminfos) visual bell was broken/too fast.
279 - applied minor cleanups by Ladislav Michnovic.
280 - applied pty handling cleanups and improvements (Emanuele Giaquinta).
281 - mark-urls launch-on-click by jepler.
282 - removed "small" resource parsing function, as it wasn't really
283 compatible, and not really small either.
284 - removed PATH_ENV and PATH file search support.
285 - removed support for locale-specific app-defaults file.
286 - fixed a bug where out-of-bounds colour sequences could lead
287 to crashes.
288 - limit colour changing to the standard 88 palette instead of all
289 colours.
290 - XTerm_Color01 sequence returned wrong results in query mode.
291 - iom.C now checks against destructed io_manager when unregistering.
292
2936.3 Wed Jan 4 22:37:10 CET 2006
294 - SECURITY FIX: on systems using openpty, permissions were
295 not correctly updated on the tty device and were left as
296 world-readable and world-writable (likely in original rxvt,
297 too), and were not restored properly. Affected are only
298 systems where non-unix ptys were used (such as most BSDs, not
299 GNU/Linux). (found, patched and debugged by Ryan Beasley).
300 - meta8 support was forcefully enabled in most configurations.
301 restored configurability of this (useless) feature (reported
302 by Mikachu).
303 - optionally embed a perl interpreter, which can be used for more
304 intelligent/customized selection support, visual feedback,
305 menus, tabs etc. See the the urxvtperl manpage, the -pe option,
306 perl*-resources and keysym resources. Not everything is there yet.
307 - try to be more clever about differing font sizes and their ascent.
308 Not guarenteed to work, but works better in most cases now.
309 - fix directory permissions on install.
310 - implemented option to disable built-in line drawing characters
311 and fall back to the font ones (patch by Martin Pohlack).
312 - disabled sched_yield support: the linux version is just too useless
313 (it schedules nice'd processes before the own one for extended
314 periods). Too bad, it could reduce system time by a factor of 5 here.
315
3166.2 Mon Jan 2 16:03:01 CET 2006
317 - implemented intensityStyles option which enables/disables bold/blink
318 selecting high intensity foreground/background colours, suggested by
319 Chuck Blake.
320 - move iso14755 character feedback box out of the way if it would
321 obscure the mouse cursor position.
322 - replaced callback.h by a fixed version from gvpe that correctly
323 returns the callback result (affects new -pty-fd semantics in urxvtc
324 on a few architectures). Reported by darix.
325 - include one trailing space in rectangular selections to indicate
326 the inserted newline (yeah, weird, but visually more pleasing).
327 - try to use sched_yield to (drastically) improve terminal data
328 transfer efficiency.
329 - further minor cleanups.
330
3316.1 Tue Dec 27 13:23:40 CET 2005
332 - update iso8859-7 table (euro and drachma round-trip et al.).
333 - fix a crash when the selection scrolls out of the scrollback
334 while the user still drags.
335 - selections that were partially scrolled out of the window were
336 not drawn correctly.
337 - lines newly scrolled in were not initialized properly, leading
338 to extremely long lines and (hopefully) some segfaults.
339 - iso14755 overlay position was wrong.
340 - iso14755 overlay now displays rendition info, too.
341 - use unicode white space class instead of hardcoded values for
342 stripping whitespace.
343 - do whitespace stripping on rectangular selections.
344 - slight cleanups in src/features.h.
345
3466.0 Sat Dec 24 13:58:56 CET 2005
347 - make it compile without SMART_RESIZE again.
348 - enable slow link support by default.
349 - fix relative cursor-positioning not respecting scrolling regions
350 (also a bug in original rxvt).
351 - initialize termios structure to zero when fetching it fails
352 (see http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=84647 for a
353 partial patch).
354 - bump max columns/rows to 10000 each.
355 - bump max savelines to 10000000.
356 - -pty-fd now passes the urxvtc fd to the urxvtd process.
357 - avoid linking against -lnsl/-lsocket/-lxpg4 unless neccessary.
358 - major code cleanup (still not complete, though).
359 - implement -hold option.
360 - _major_ rewrite of internal buffer handling:
361 - re-flow on resize, lines get wrapped instead of winged.
362 - circular line buffer (substantially speeds up scrolling).
363 - slightly less code + data memory usage per terminal.
364 - slight overall speed improvements.
365 - considerably improved code clarity.
366 - partial-screen scrolls no longer end up in the scrollback
367 buffer.
368
3695.9 Sat Dec 17 21:53:17 CET 2005
370 - fix a bug in the menu code of unknown impact, found by darix.
371 - clean up signal handling to be global, not per terminal
372 (matters only for rxvtd).
373 - fix small typoe in rxvt.1 (found by Mike Fabian).
374 - don't crash when broken xft/fontconfig/freetype versions return
375 bogus data, ignore the xft font instead (experienced on suse).
376
3775.8 Tue Oct 25 22:21:45 CEST 2005
378 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: many configure options are now on by default.
379 If you want the old behaviour, try:
380 configure --disable-everything <your enable options>
381 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: -fade changed it's meaning to comply with
382 the documentation and common sense: when upgrading, replace your
383 percentage by 100-percentage.
384 - integrated "fade to specific colour" patch by Martin Parm.
385 - slow down the internal visual bell (delay by 20ms) and update
386 the terminfo flash code to use the same delay. This is
387 synchronous, so many bells might inhibit screen updates in other
388 windows.
389 - text with background==foreground colour gets displayed with default
390 bg/fg now when in reverse video, so it can be seen when selecting.
391 - allow koi8r* as x11 encoding name for koi8r (Nikita Danilov).
392 - removed undocumented inheritPixmapforce option.
393 - replaced INSTALL file.
394
3955.7 Wed Jul 13 04:46:33 CEST 2005
396 - implement some useful (hopefully) options for rxvtd.
397 - separate and improved rxvtc(1) and rxvtd(1) manpages.
398 - fix a bug that caused segfaults on startup on systems that do
399 not support local unix connections, e.g cygwin. (btw, I didn't
400 even know about the -rootless and -multiwindow Cygwin/X modes).
401 - large amounts of text without control sequences or newlines
402 could almost freeze output. This has been fixed by adding extra
403 refreshes in these cases (also a problem in original rxvt).
404
4055.6 Sun Jun 26 22:11:13 CEST 2005
406 - R_SB_RXVT bitset value was 0, so rxvt scrollbar was initialised
407 every time resulting in display errors (original rxvt also affected).
408 Reported by Jasmin Buchert.
409 - font names are now considered to be utf-8 encoded (xft apperently
410 uses this convention. X Core fonts might not, but it should be rare).
411 Affects display in iso14755 box.
412 - rewrote the low-level xft drawing function ("xft backend" for the
413 hipper parts of the world) to hopefully cope better with proportional
414 chars mixed with fixed-width ones.
415 - rxvt is now much more careful (read: slower) with potentially
416 overlapping xft characters. It usually overshoots and redraws
417 more than required, but that's better than undershooting and
418 cutting pieces off of characters.
419 - rxvt is now more restrictive in what font heights it accepts for
420 fonts that will likely overshoot or undershoot lines.
421 - fix a cosmetic problem with the unfocused cursor on a wide character
422 at the end of the line (reported by Mikachu).
423 - wide characters not fitting into the end of the line will be
424 output in the next line (reported by Mikachu).
425 - added doc/solaris9.patch by Ewgenij Starostin.
13 426
145.5 Sat Apr 23 22:31:36 CEST 2005 4275.5 Sat Apr 23 22:31:36 CEST 2005
15 - re-enabled modifer state matching as in 5.3, but implement 428 - re-enabled modifer state matching as in 5.3, but implement
16 a new builtin: keysym style that simply reverts to the built-in 429 a new builtin: keysym style that simply reverts to the built-in
17 meaning of the given key. 430 meaning of the given key.
18 - use scrollcolor for next scrollbar instead of hardcoded antiquewhite 431 - use scrollcolor for next scrollbar instead of hardcoded antiquewhite
19 (patch by Martin Edlman). 432 (patch by Martin Edlman).
