23TODO: investigate -pe tabbed -g 80x25 being 23 not 24 or 25 lines
24TODO: zero scorllback buffer should free memory
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 - add "kuake" perl extension that does a similar thing to the kuake
31 terminal emulator (see man urxtvperl).
32 - use less "correct" color scaling that is compatible with libX11 and
33 Xft (avoids off-by-one colors resulting in striped backgrounds).
34 - the "depth" resource is now respected.
35 - preset the searchable-scrollback pattern with "(?i)" to default search
36 to case-insensitivity. Will automatically be cleared when typing an
37 uppercase character.
38 - add FORCE_UNBUFFERED_XFT define to features.h.
39 - re-enabled highlightcolor support with --enable-frills, based on
40 a patch by Martin Stubenschrott.
41 - double-buffered xft drawing did suffer from pixel offset issues
42 when pixmap transparency was enabled.
43 - strategically add # to the url-match regexes, as we really want to
44 match common URIs not common URLs. Reported by Aaron Griffin.
45 - moved on_osc_seq to on_osc_seq_perl and added a more
46 generic osc_seq.
47 - fix a bug causing double callback invocations when perl hooks
48 were invoked recursively.
49 - the automove-background extension now properly works when the
50 pixmap gets reset with an osc sequence (sqweek).
51 - selection-pastebin did not work properly with non-latin1-characters.
52 - apply colorUL only when the text colour is the default fg
53 (patch by Wu Fengguang).
54 - removed rxvtlib.h from the tarball, it had no reason to be there
55 (spotted by Decklin Foster).
56 - fix compiling with TRANSPARENT but !XPM_BACKGROUND, as reported
57 by omatunto_.
58 - slap in a using namespace std, might help on platforms that don't
59 follow C++ closely enough.
60 - fix mailto url regex, spotted within milliseconds by Jost Krieger.
61 - applied fade_color_update_func.patch by WU Fengguang.
62 - fix a bug where (due to an optimisation in av_delete), hiding the
63 bottom-most overlay would hide two overlays.
64
657.7 Tue Feb 21 12:32:49 CET 2006
66 - use double-buffered drawing (xft fonts only). On many driver/hardware
67 combination this actually increases xft drawing speed, at the expense
68 of more network bandwidth and slight nausea on the side of the author.
69 - readline perl extension now requires shift-click instead of a normal
70 click, and eats the click.
71 - tabbed perl extension now supports -e.
72 - disabled graphics-exposures on the main drawing GC, report any
73 refresh bugs please.
74 - improve property handling for -pe tabbed: avoid unnecessary property
75 changes (for kde's benefit) at the expense of extra round-trips,
76 improve size hint setting.
77 - modified XIM according to a patch sent by Takano Akio that sets
78 the preedit rectangle for OverTheSpot, which helps some input methods
79 to correctly position their preedit window.
80 - un-optimise the line clearing on newly scrolled-in lines a bit: the
81 former reasoning was that any fg colour on default bg looks the same
82 in empty spaces, but thats not true when reversing (e.g. selection),
83 so also check for matching fg colours. This fixes the problem where
84 selecting newly scrolled-in lines would exhibit wrong colours.
85 - fix a bug in the perl interface causing focus in events to generate
86 focus out perl events, causing bad focus effects with -pe tabbed.
87 - fix a race resulting in a crash on exiting.
88 - fix a with --disable-xft that caused xfreecolors to be called on
89 colors never allocated, resulting in aborts (reported by Paco-Paco).
90 - resources on non-initial screens weren't refetched correctly
91 (reported by Paco-Paco).
92 - fix a bug in xcopyarea pass and _disable_ it, as it seems not to be
93 working in either rxvt-unicode nor in the original rxvt.
94 - removed undocumented -exec alias for the -e option.
95
967.6 Fri Feb 10 08:52:36 CET 2006
97 - changed interpretation of [alpha] colour prefix.
98 - +option now really sets the option to default, instead of using the
99 resource value.
100 - options that require an argument now really _require_ an argument.
101 - the tabbed extension now forwards focus and keys events to th
102 relevant tab window.
103 - tab colours are now configurable and have sensible defaults
104 (initial patch by hednod).
105 - option menu is extendable, readline, selection and
106 selection-autotransform can now be disabled/enabled at runtime.
107 - forcing a configure event to tabbed subwindows with -pe tabbed, for
108 the benefit of automove-background.
109 - the automove-background extension added a wrong constant offset.
110 - force refresh of XA_RESOURCE_STRING on virtual reconnect.
111 - return exit status 2 in urxvtc when urxvtd couldn't be contacted.
112 - the linux yield hack is back, now using usleep, and enabled only on
113 __linux__.
114 - further round trip eliminations in the !XFT case by remembering
115 the colour components.
116 - plain scrollbar works better with -sr.
117 - fixed half-shadow scrollbar look.
118 - more colour rtt optimisations.
119 - properly(?) free colours on window close.
120 - reorganised the FAQ into multiple sections.
121 - add ISO646.1991-IRV to the list of supported codesets.
122 - minor libptytty update.
123
1247.5 Tue Jan 31 15:15:43 CET 2006
125 - further improvements to the careful mode detection, and font width
126 detection:
127 - fully double-wide fonts will now be correctly treated,
128 - overlap detection was improved.
129 - detect totally broken fonts (usually synthesized by xft).
130 - careful mode forced refresh sometimes clashed with blinking,
131 causing unnecessary screen redraws.
132 - better handling of XFT combining characters.
133 - enable antialiasing for some replacement fonts, as they
134 might get used for other encodings which really need it, later.
135 - remove spacing=100 from all default fonts, as this creates totally
136 weird spacing (5 times normal) with xft.
137 - removed iso10646 fallback, as xorgs iso10646 encoded fonts are mostly
138 broken.
139 - removed gnu unifont fallback, all combining characters are broken.
140 - replace named colours by xorg's rgb.txt equivalents, to
141 reduce round trip time on startup, and short-cut allocation
142 of rgb:rr/gg/bb for xft.
143 - short-cut allocation of rgb values in the xlib case
144 (patch by Paco-Paco).
145 - overhauled color management: smaller codesize, alpha support.
146 - support "rgba:rrrr/gggg/bbbb/aaaa" color specifications and
147 an "[alpha]" prefix.
148 - try to work around Xft and Xrender forcing everything to be 100%
149 transparent. Long Live Xft!
150 - do not include X11/Intrinsic.h anymore, directly use
151 Xlib/Xutil/Xresource directly.
152 - try to find a nearest matching color when color allocation fails
153 on a pseudocolor screen.
154 - SYNCCVS: compared to rxvt-cvs 2006-01-28, no relevant changes.
155 - fix version report (DA) (which was unfortunately broken).
156 - changed version number report again, now to emulate xterm closer.
157 - added the OSC sequence 702 to detect the urxvt version number.
158 - small configure updates.
159 - further RTT optimisations.
160 - backported clean-up patches for makefiles and documentation from
161 the debian package.
162 - updated doc/rxvt-unicode.spec file. It's still not maintained here,
163 but much newer than the old one.
164
1657.4 Sat Jan 28 15:26:27 CET 2006
166 - screen background wasn't always erased properly when scrolling,
167 - re-enabled clearing optimisation disabled in 7.4pre.
168 - small configure updates for libptytty.
169 - fixed version options: line output.
170 - removed stoopid debugging message left in the code.
171
1727.3 Wed Jan 25 22:47:35 CET 2006
173 - don't let iso14755 or mouse reporting get into the way of perl
174 (could lead to global grabs never being cleared).
175 - experimental OnTheSpot editing support (-pe xim-onthespot).
176 - moved Shift-Button2 paste combination to Meta-Button2.
177 - the cutchars resource will now be respected and used by the
178 selection extension.
179 - added the "remote-clipboard" extension which just runs external
180 commands to fetch and store the selection data.
181 - added -depth switch that tries to get a different visual depth
182 than the default (replaces the old PREFER_24_BIT logic).
183 - removed (unused) arabic presentation form composing sequences.
184 - be more strict when deciding that a core font glyph is too wide and
185 needs the careful rendering mode.
186 - allow more leeway for italic fonts when deciding that a character is
187 too wide and needs careful mode.
188 - redraw even more characters around characters using careful mode.
189 - made selection-pastebin fully asynchronous.
190 - reduced number of server turnarounds at startup by allocating
191 atoms only once per display.
192 - renamed on_keyboard_command to on_user_command.
193 - changed version sos (ESC [ > c) response to be more compatible with
194 xterm.
195
1967.2 Sun Jan 22 21:58:16 CET 2006
197 - bugfix: urxvt (not urxvtd) did not correctly handle multiple
198 environments necessary, which resulted in segfaults within
199 getenv (reproducable: urxvt -fn 9x15, open a menu once,
200 ctrl-shift-672c).
201 - bugfix: the selection speedup in in 7.1 unfortunately caused
202 non-ascii characters to enlarge/move the selection.
203 - bugfix: resizing sometimes leaked lines from the secondary to
204 the primary screen.
205 - bugfix: reducing window size while large amounts of text were output
206 could lead to an assertion failure.
207 - added "tabbed" extension that provides a crude tabbed terminal.
208 - added "readline" extension that allows cursor positioning
209 via mouse clicks.
210 - now it is possible to insert the value of the CLIPBOARD selection
211 with shift - mouse button 2.
212 - fixed the automove-background extension to ignore coordinates
213 in non-synthetic events.
214 - created a separate libpty for portable and secure
215 pty/tty/utmp/wtmp/lastlog handling, and include it in rxvt-unicode.
216 - the non-terminfo visual bell now works asynchronously, so
217 continuous ASCI BELs in one terminal do no longer monopolise the
218 whole urxvt[d] process.
219 - support some *BSD makes (for the time being, gnu make is a safe bet).
220 - work around bugs in FreeBSD's gcc.
221 - implemented some *BSD fixes in configure.
222 - removed support for obsolete offix dnd protocol.
223
2247.1 Thu Jan 19 20:25:34 CET 2006
225 - setuid/setgid operation is now _encouraged_: security has been
226 improved by moving privileged operations into a separate process
227 and permanently dropping privileges within the terminal. This
228 makes it possible to remove security checks from the perl code
229 and gives a much safer feeling when urxvt needs to run with
230 special privileges.
231 - perl taint checking disabled, as urxvt no longer runs setuid/setgid
232 itself.
233 - new perl extension automove-background that can be used to get
234 the same effect as pseudo-transparency with any pixmap.
235 - new perl extension example: perl/selection-pastebin, can be used to
236 e.g. upload the selection to a webserver and generate a url, or
237 similar stuff.
238 - use the scrollback buffer even when the scroll region doesn't
239 span the whole screen, as long as it starts at row 0. Helps
240 for programs displaying a status line at the bottom.
241 - selection popup now shows selection in dec/hex/oct.
242 - perl/selection: matching on unicode characters in the selection
243 code was O(n²), which equals infinity in some degenerate cases
244 :-> Matching is now done on UTF-8, which makes it almost instant.
245 - perl/selection, perl/selection-autotransform: regexes are now
246 being interpreted in the locale urxvt was started.
247 - implemented override-redirect option and enabled it on menus,
248 as kwin puts our windows behind the terminal (what a shoddy wm).
249 - fixed struct utmp check in configure for OpenBSD.
250 - complete overhaul of the pty/utmp management stuff and configure
251 (Emanuele Giaquinta).
252 - add tsl/fsl and related capabilities to the terminfo description,
253 to set the window title.
254 - swap the environment in some more cases. This hopefully fixes
255 some segfaults that might be caused by xft asking for env variables
256 at the wrong time.
257 - removed src/strings.C and src/menubar.C. No menubar support
258 anymore.
259 - removed all traces of SMOOTH_REFRESH.
260 - nuked QNX support.
261 - made some fixes to xpm offset and scaling code.
262 - perl-overlays and refresh hooks were not applied in correct order.
263 - changed coordinate-system of view_start/nsaved to be top to bottom.
264 - iom extended to support listening for child exits.
265
2667.0 Fri Jan 13 14:02:18 CET 2006
267 - added sections for DISTRIBUTION MAINTAINERS and about
268 SETUID/SETGID to the FAQ.
269 - selection, searchable-scrollback, selection-popup and
270 option-popup extensions enabled by default.
271 - increased xft drawing speed for problematic fonts. The effect
272 will likely be small as 99% of the xft slowness is server-related.
273 - perl: much increased functionality, better overlays, popup support
274 and much much more.
275 - perl: urxvt::line now can set via ->t and ->r.
276 - perl: changed interpretation of --perl-ext-common and -pe.
277 - perl: finally implemented --perl-eval.
278 - perl: non-blocking anyevent support.
279 - perl: run tainted and ignore perl-eval/perl-lib if started
280 setuid/setgid.
281 - free the resource database: this plugs a massive memory leak. As a
282 side effect, it also gets rid of XGetDefault calls.
283 - free one of the cursors, fixes a small memory leak.
284 - built-in (as opposed to terminfos) visual bell was broken/too fast.
285 - applied minor cleanups by Ladislav Michnovic.
286 - applied pty handling cleanups and improvements (Emanuele Giaquinta).
287 - mark-urls launch-on-click by jepler.
288 - removed "small" resource parsing function, as it wasn't really
289 compatible, and not really small either.
290 - removed PATH_ENV and PATH file search support.
291 - removed support for locale-specific app-defaults file.
292 - fixed a bug where out-of-bounds colour sequences could lead
293 to crashes.
294 - limit colour changing to the standard 88 palette instead of all
295 colours.
296 - XTerm_Color01 sequence returned wrong results in query mode.
297 - iom.C now checks against destructed io_manager when unregistering.
298
2996.3 Wed Jan 4 22:37:10 CET 2006
300 - SECURITY FIX: on systems using openpty, permissions were
301 not correctly updated on the tty device and were left as
302 world-readable and world-writable (likely in original rxvt,
303 too), and were not restored properly. Affected are only
304 systems where non-unix ptys were used (such as most BSDs, not
305 GNU/Linux). (found, patched and debugged by Ryan Beasley).
306 - meta8 support was forcefully enabled in most configurations.
307 restored configurability of this (useless) feature (reported
308 by Mikachu).
309 - optionally embed a perl interpreter, which can be used for more
310 intelligent/customized selection support, visual feedback,
311 menus, tabs etc. See the the urxvtperl manpage, the -pe option,
312 perl*-resources and keysym resources. Not everything is there yet.
313 - try to be more clever about differing font sizes and their ascent.
314 Not guarenteed to work, but works better in most cases now.
315 - fix directory permissions on install.
316 - implemented option to disable built-in line drawing characters
317 and fall back to the font ones (patch by Martin Pohlack).
318 - disabled sched_yield support: the linux version is just too useless
319 (it schedules nice'd processes before the own one for extended
320 periods). Too bad, it could reduce system time by a factor of 5 here.
321
3226.2 Mon Jan 2 16:03:01 CET 2006
323 - implemented intensityStyles option which enables/disables bold/blink
324 selecting high intensity foreground/background colours, suggested by
325 Chuck Blake.
326 - move iso14755 character feedback box out of the way if it would
327 obscure the mouse cursor position.
328 - replaced callback.h by a fixed version from gvpe that correctly
329 returns the callback result (affects new -pty-fd semantics in urxvtc
330 on a few architectures). Reported by darix.
331 - include one trailing space in rectangular selections to indicate
332 the inserted newline (yeah, weird, but visually more pleasing).
333 - try to use sched_yield to (drastically) improve terminal data
334 transfer efficiency.
335 - further minor cleanups.
336
3376.1 Tue Dec 27 13:23:40 CET 2005
338 - update iso8859-7 table (euro and drachma round-trip et al.).
339 - fix a crash when the selection scrolls out of the scrollback
340 while the user still drags.
341 - selections that were partially scrolled out of the window were
342 not drawn correctly.
343 - lines newly scrolled in were not initialized properly, leading
344 to extremely long lines and (hopefully) some segfaults.
345 - iso14755 overlay position was wrong.
346 - iso14755 overlay now displays rendition info, too.
347 - use unicode white space class instead of hardcoded values for
348 stripping whitespace.
349 - do whitespace stripping on rectangular selections.
350 - slight cleanups in src/features.h.
351
3526.0 Sat Dec 24 13:58:56 CET 2005
353 - make it compile without SMART_RESIZE again.
354 - enable slow link support by default.
355 - fix relative cursor-positioning not respecting scrolling regions
356 (also a bug in original rxvt).
357 - initialize termios structure to zero when fetching it fails
358 (see http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=84647 for a
359 partial patch).
360 - bump max columns/rows to 10000 each.
361 - bump max savelines to 10000000.
362 - -pty-fd now passes the urxvtc fd to the urxvtd process.
363 - avoid linking against -lnsl/-lsocket/-lxpg4 unless neccessary.
364 - major code cleanup (still not complete, though).
365 - implement -hold option.
366 - _major_ rewrite of internal buffer handling:
367 - re-flow on resize, lines get wrapped instead of winged.
368 - circular line buffer (substantially speeds up scrolling).
369 - slightly less code + data memory usage per terminal.
370 - slight overall speed improvements.
371 - considerably improved code clarity.
372 - partial-screen scrolls no longer end up in the scrollback
373 buffer.
374
3755.9 Sat Dec 17 21:53:17 CET 2005
376 - fix a bug in the menu code of unknown impact, found by darix.
377 - clean up signal handling to be global, not per terminal
378 (matters only for rxvtd).
379 - fix small typoe in rxvt.1 (found by Mike Fabian).
380 - don't crash when broken xft/fontconfig/freetype versions return
381 bogus data, ignore the xft font instead (experienced on suse).
382
3835.8 Tue Oct 25 22:21:45 CEST 2005
384 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: many configure options are now on by default.
385 If you want the old behaviour, try:
386 configure --disable-everything <your enable options>
387 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: -fade changed it's meaning to comply with
388 the documentation and common sense: when upgrading, replace your
389 percentage by 100-percentage.
390 - integrated "fade to specific colour" patch by Martin Parm.
391 - slow down the internal visual bell (delay by 20ms) and update
392 the terminfo flash code to use the same delay. This is
393 synchronous, so many bells might inhibit screen updates in other
394 windows.
395 - text with background==foreground colour gets displayed with default
396 bg/fg now when in reverse video, so it can be seen when selecting.
397 - allow koi8r* as x11 encoding name for koi8r (Nikita Danilov).
398 - removed undocumented inheritPixmapforce option.
399 - replaced INSTALL file.
400
4015.7 Wed Jul 13 04:46:33 CEST 2005
402 - implement some useful (hopefully) options for rxvtd.
403 - separate and improved rxvtc(1) and rxvtd(1) manpages.
404 - fix a bug that caused segfaults on startup on systems that do
405 not support local unix connections, e.g cygwin. (btw, I didn't
406 even know about the -rootless and -multiwindow Cygwin/X modes).
407 - large amounts of text without control sequences or newlines
408 could almost freeze output. This has been fixed by adding extra
409 refreshes in these cases (also a problem in original rxvt).
