238.2
24 - fix make depend in src/, reported by exg.
25 - fixed typo in urxvt::GET_CUSTOM, causing the result to be wrong.
26 (patch by Sergey Vlasov).
27 - unbundled iom perl interface somewhat.
28 - scrollbar-xterm now uses the selected scrollColor instead of fg
29 (found by Aiviru).
30 - disabled linux kernel bug workaround again: disabling it gives
31 a 50% speed hit on affected machines, while enabling it gives
32 a similar speed hit to screen, which is likely the more common
33 case to work around for :/
34 - urxvt::rend2mask perl function, and utilization of it by matcher
35 (patch by Moshe Kamensky).
36 - use perl:matcher on a keysym to open most recently displayed URL.
37 - with matcher, when multiple patterns match, last wins, not first.
38 - fix make and make install with srcdir != builddir.
39 - updated bundled libptytty to fix a bug where the tty would be kept
40 open (see the libptytty ChangeLog for details).
41 - delay setting the IUTF8 flag to after the tty settings have been
42 set so its value does not get lost (reported and analysed by Andrei
43 Paskevich).
44 - rip out support for obsolete sgtty.h interface.
45 - rip out support for non-POSIX termios variants.
46 - update libptytty.
47 - update iom.C, make it call ptytty::sanitise_stdfd on init.
48 - when !XFT, change rounding of colours to use a less correct formula to
49 meet user expectancies (#aaa becomes #a000a000a000 not #9f9f9f9f9f9f).
50 - change the starting offset of the pixmap set with backgroundPixmap
51 from (50,50) to (0,0).
52 - fix a typo in button_release, now meta-button2 request the value of
53 the Clipboard selection as it should (patch by Serge Koksharov).
54
558.1 Thu Dec 7 22:27:25 CET 2006
56 - ｹﾘｽﾏｽﾌ゚ﾚｾ゙ﾝﾄ - zomg!!1, it's too early!!!
57 - fix the assumption that chars < 256 are single-width. Now
58 only assume this for codepoints 32 to 126 (reported by Dai.H.).
59 - $term->strwidth returned wide chars as width 1, because some jerk
60 confused min and max. Fixing this also fixes xim-onthespot.
61 Reported by Takano Akio.
62 - secondaryScroll is now enabled by default (as per the manpage),
63 reported by exg.
64 - correct the description of [percent]color rgba format in the manpage.
65 - incorporated macosx-clipboard extension by Samuel Ljungkvist.
66 - ignore (some) useless focus events (reported by mmc).
67 - updated compose table to unicode 5.0.0.
68
698.0 Thu Nov 2 18:35:19 CET 2006
70 - combining characters cleared the area instead of creating an overlay,
71 thus losing the ability to draw combining characters properly in most
72 circumstances (reported by exg).
73 - specified fonts were incorrectly morphed to bold/italic according to the
74 basefont, even if explicitly specified (tracked down by tpope).
75 - fixed urxvt::strwidth to calculate width in the same way as screen.C.
76 - fix a crash caused by passing negative widths to overlay functions.
77 - added 'matcher' extension by tpope, replacing the mark-urls extension.
78 - improve url regex to match anything www.* (tpope).
79 - fixed bug with outline cursor color being wrong after xft fonts.
80 - update to libptytty-1.0.
81 - give proper diagnostic when RXVT_SOCKET is too long instead of
82 corrupting the stack (patch by exg).
83 - display current terminal locale in option menu.
84 - urxvtd no longer crashes when the client sends an inaccessible
85 working directory (reported by Roland Baer, possibly fixes gentoo
86 bug #143985).
87 - fixed many minor issues reported by Roland Baer.
88 - Leonid Khramov spotted a minor glitch in rxvtfont.C that
89 should not have any consequences, but was buggy nonetheless.
90 - manpage fix by exg.
91
927.9 Mon Aug 7 18:16:07 CEST 2006
93 - fix the crashing bug people encountered with 7.8 + urxvtd + perl
94 + transparency. Ought to fix debian bug #380348.
95 - fix urxvtc.1.pod: it actually claimed -pty-fd would not work. But
96 it does! :->
97 - rxvt_fatal() in case the locale string is too long for our static buffer.
98 - fixed many, many, typos in the manpages (patch supplied by ves).
99
1007.8 Mon Jul 17 21:00:46 CEST 2006
101 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: this version will always read ~/.Xdefaults,
102 earlier versions only read it if display-resources (usually from
103 .Xresources) are not set. This avoids the #1 FAQ ("why isn't my
104 resource used") and seems to be logical behaviour, too. .Xdefaults
105 resources have a lower priority than display-specific resources.
106 - add "kuake" perl extension that does a similar thing to the kuake
107 terminal emulator (see man urxtvperl).
108 - use less "correct" color scaling that is compatible with libX11 and
109 Xft (avoids off-by-one colors resulting in striped backgrounds).
110 - the "depth" resource is now respected.
111 - preset the searchable-scrollback pattern with "(?i)" to default search
112 to case-insensitivity. Will automatically be cleared when typing an
113 uppercase character.
114 - add FORCE_UNBUFFERED_XFT define to features.h.
115 - re-enabled highlightcolor support with --enable-frills, based on
116 a patch by Martin Stubenschrott.
117 - double-buffered xft drawing did suffer from pixel offset issues
118 when pixmap transparency was enabled.
119 - strategically add # to the url-match regexes, as we really want to
120 match common URIs not common URLs. Reported by Aaron Griffin.
121 - moved on_osc_seq to on_osc_seq_perl and added a more
122 generic osc_seq.
123 - fix a bug causing double callback invocations when perl hooks
124 were invoked recursively.
125 - the automove-background extension now properly works when the
126 pixmap gets reset with an osc sequence (sqweek).
127 - selection-pastebin did not work properly with non-latin1-characters.
128 - apply colorUL only when the text colour is the default fg
129 (patch by Wu Fengguang).
130 - removed rxvtlib.h from the tarball, it had no reason to be there
131 (spotted by Decklin Foster).
132 - fix compiling with TRANSPARENT but !XPM_BACKGROUND, as reported
133 by omatunto_.
134 - slap in a using namespace std, might help on platforms that don't
135 follow C++ closely enough.
136 - fix mailto url regex, spotted within milliseconds by Jost Krieger.
137 - applied fade_color_update_func.patch by WU Fengguang.
138 - fix a bug where (due to an optimisation in av_delete), hiding the
139 bottom-most overlay would hide two overlays.
140
1417.7 Tue Feb 21 12:32:49 CET 2006
142 - use double-buffered drawing (xft fonts only). On many driver/hardware
143 combination this actually increases xft drawing speed, at the expense
144 of more network bandwidth and slight nausea on the side of the author.
145 - readline perl extension now requires shift-click instead of a normal
146 click, and eats the click.
147 - tabbed perl extension now supports -e.
148 - disabled graphics-exposures on the main drawing GC, report any
149 refresh bugs please.
150 - improve property handling for -pe tabbed: avoid unnecessary property
151 changes (for kde's benefit) at the expense of extra round-trips,
152 improve size hint setting.
153 - modified XIM according to a patch sent by Takano Akio that sets
154 the preedit rectangle for OverTheSpot, which helps some input methods
155 to correctly position their preedit window.
156 - un-optimise the line clearing on newly scrolled-in lines a bit: the
157 former reasoning was that any fg colour on default bg looks the same
158 in empty spaces, but thats not true when reversing (e.g. selection),
159 so also check for matching fg colours. This fixes the problem where
160 selecting newly scrolled-in lines would exhibit wrong colours.
161 - fix a bug in the perl interface causing focus in events to generate
162 focus out perl events, causing bad focus effects with -pe tabbed.
163 - fix a race resulting in a crash on exiting.
164 - fix a with --disable-xft that caused xfreecolors to be called on
165 colors never allocated, resulting in aborts (reported by Paco-Paco).
166 - resources on non-initial screens weren't refetched correctly
167 (reported by Paco-Paco).
168 - fix a bug in xcopyarea pass and _disable_ it, as it seems not to be
169 working in either rxvt-unicode nor in the original rxvt.
170 - removed undocumented -exec alias for the -e option.
171
1727.6 Fri Feb 10 08:52:36 CET 2006
173 - changed interpretation of [alpha] colour prefix.
174 - +option now really sets the option to default, instead of using the
175 resource value.
176 - options that require an argument now really _require_ an argument.
177 - the tabbed extension now forwards focus and keys events to th
178 relevant tab window.
179 - tab colours are now configurable and have sensible defaults
180 (initial patch by hednod).
181 - option menu is extendable, readline, selection and
182 selection-autotransform can now be disabled/enabled at runtime.
183 - forcing a configure event to tabbed subwindows with -pe tabbed, for
184 the benefit of automove-background.
185 - the automove-background extension added a wrong constant offset.
186 - force refresh of XA_RESOURCE_STRING on virtual reconnect.
187 - return exit status 2 in urxvtc when urxvtd couldn't be contacted.
188 - the linux yield hack is back, now using usleep, and enabled only on
189 __linux__.
190 - further round trip eliminations in the !XFT case by remembering
191 the colour components.
192 - plain scrollbar works better with -sr.
193 - fixed half-shadow scrollbar look.
194 - more colour rtt optimisations.
195 - properly(?) free colours on window close.
196 - reorganised the FAQ into multiple sections.
197 - add ISO646.1991-IRV to the list of supported codesets.
198 - minor libptytty update.
199
2007.5 Tue Jan 31 15:15:43 CET 2006
201 - further improvements to the careful mode detection, and font width
202 detection:
203 - fully double-wide fonts will now be correctly treated,
204 - overlap detection was improved.
205 - detect totally broken fonts (usually synthesized by xft).
206 - careful mode forced refresh sometimes clashed with blinking,
207 causing unnecessary screen redraws.
208 - better handling of XFT combining characters.
209 - enable antialiasing for some replacement fonts, as they
210 might get used for other encodings which really need it, later.
211 - remove spacing=100 from all default fonts, as this creates totally
212 weird spacing (5 times normal) with xft.
213 - removed iso10646 fallback, as xorgs iso10646 encoded fonts are mostly
214 broken.
215 - removed gnu unifont fallback, all combining characters are broken.
216 - replace named colours by xorg's rgb.txt equivalents, to
217 reduce round trip time on startup, and short-cut allocation
218 of rgb:rr/gg/bb for xft.
219 - short-cut allocation of rgb values in the xlib case
220 (patch by Paco-Paco).
221 - overhauled color management: smaller codesize, alpha support.
222 - support "rgba:rrrr/gggg/bbbb/aaaa" color specifications and
223 an "[alpha]" prefix.
224 - try to work around Xft and Xrender forcing everything to be 100%
225 transparent. Long Live Xft!
226 - do not include X11/Intrinsic.h anymore, directly use
227 Xlib/Xutil/Xresource directly.
228 - try to find a nearest matching color when color allocation fails
229 on a pseudocolor screen.
230 - SYNCCVS: compared to rxvt-cvs 2006-01-28, no relevant changes.
231 - fix version report (DA) (which was unfortunately broken).
232 - changed version number report again, now to emulate xterm closer.
233 - added the OSC sequence 702 to detect the urxvt version number.
234 - small configure updates.
235 - further RTT optimisations.
236 - backported clean-up patches for makefiles and documentation from
237 the debian package.
238 - updated doc/rxvt-unicode.spec file. It's still not maintained here,
239 but much newer than the old one.
240
2417.4 Sat Jan 28 15:26:27 CET 2006
242 - screen background wasn't always erased properly when scrolling,
243 - re-enabled clearing optimisation disabled in 7.4pre.
244 - small configure updates for libptytty.
245 - fixed version options: line output.
246 - removed stoopid debugging message left in the code.
247
2487.3 Wed Jan 25 22:47:35 CET 2006
249 - don't let iso14755 or mouse reporting get into the way of perl
250 (could lead to global grabs never being cleared).
251 - experimental OnTheSpot editing support (-pe xim-onthespot).
252 - moved Shift-Button2 paste combination to Meta-Button2.
253 - the cutchars resource will now be respected and used by the
254 selection extension.
255 - added the "remote-clipboard" extension which just runs external
256 commands to fetch and store the selection data.
257 - added -depth switch that tries to get a different visual depth
258 than the default (replaces the old PREFER_24_BIT logic).
259 - removed (unused) arabic presentation form composing sequences.
260 - be more strict when deciding that a core font glyph is too wide and
261 needs the careful rendering mode.
262 - allow more leeway for italic fonts when deciding that a character is
263 too wide and needs careful mode.
264 - redraw even more characters around characters using careful mode.
265 - made selection-pastebin fully asynchronous.
266 - reduced number of server turnarounds at startup by allocating
267 atoms only once per display.
268 - renamed on_keyboard_command to on_user_command.
269 - changed version sos (ESC [ > c) response to be more compatible with
270 xterm.
271
2727.2 Sun Jan 22 21:58:16 CET 2006
273 - bugfix: urxvt (not urxvtd) did not correctly handle multiple
274 environments necessary, which resulted in segfaults within
275 getenv (reproducable: urxvt -fn 9x15, open a menu once,
276 ctrl-shift-672c).
277 - bugfix: the selection speedup in in 7.1 unfortunately caused
278 non-ascii characters to enlarge/move the selection.
279 - bugfix: resizing sometimes leaked lines from the secondary to
280 the primary screen.
281 - bugfix: reducing window size while large amounts of text were output
282 could lead to an assertion failure.
283 - added "tabbed" extension that provides a crude tabbed terminal.
284 - added "readline" extension that allows cursor positioning
285 via mouse clicks.
286 - now it is possible to insert the value of the CLIPBOARD selection
287 with shift - mouse button 2.
288 - fixed the automove-background extension to ignore coordinates
289 in non-synthetic events.
290 - created a separate libpty for portable and secure
291 pty/tty/utmp/wtmp/lastlog handling, and include it in rxvt-unicode.
292 - the non-terminfo visual bell now works asynchronously, so
293 continuous ASCI BELs in one terminal do no longer monopolise the
294 whole urxvt[d] process.
295 - support some *BSD makes (for the time being, gnu make is a safe bet).
296 - work around bugs in FreeBSD's gcc.
297 - implemented some *BSD fixes in configure.
298 - removed support for obsolete offix dnd protocol.
299
3007.1 Thu Jan 19 20:25:34 CET 2006
301 - setuid/setgid operation is now _encouraged_: security has been
302 improved by moving privileged operations into a separate process
303 and permanently dropping privileges within the terminal. This
304 makes it possible to remove security checks from the perl code
305 and gives a much safer feeling when urxvt needs to run with
306 special privileges.
307 - perl taint checking disabled, as urxvt no longer runs setuid/setgid
308 itself.
309 - new perl extension automove-background that can be used to get
310 the same effect as pseudo-transparency with any pixmap.
311 - new perl extension example: perl/selection-pastebin, can be used to
312 e.g. upload the selection to a webserver and generate a url, or
313 similar stuff.
314 - use the scrollback buffer even when the scroll region doesn't
315 span the whole screen, as long as it starts at row 0. Helps
316 for programs displaying a status line at the bottom.
317 - selection popup now shows selection in dec/hex/oct.
318 - perl/selection: matching on unicode characters in the selection
319 code was O(n²), which equals infinity in some degenerate cases
320 :-> Matching is now done on UTF-8, which makes it almost instant.
321 - perl/selection, perl/selection-autotransform: regexes are now
322 being interpreted in the locale urxvt was started.
323 - implemented override-redirect option and enabled it on menus,
324 as kwin puts our windows behind the terminal (what a shoddy wm).
325 - fixed struct utmp check in configure for OpenBSD.
326 - complete overhaul of the pty/utmp management stuff and configure
327 (Emanuele Giaquinta).
328 - add tsl/fsl and related capabilities to the terminfo description,
329 to set the window title.
330 - swap the environment in some more cases. This hopefully fixes
331 some segfaults that might be caused by xft asking for env variables
332 at the wrong time.
333 - removed src/strings.C and src/menubar.C. No menubar support
334 anymore.
335 - removed all traces of SMOOTH_REFRESH.
336 - nuked QNX support.
337 - made some fixes to xpm offset and scaling code.
338 - perl-overlays and refresh hooks were not applied in correct order.
339 - changed coordinate-system of view_start/nsaved to be top to bottom.
340 - iom extended to support listening for child exits.
341
3427.0 Fri Jan 13 14:02:18 CET 2006
343 - added sections for DISTRIBUTION MAINTAINERS and about
344 SETUID/SETGID to the FAQ.
345 - selection, searchable-scrollback, selection-popup and
346 option-popup extensions enabled by default.
347 - increased xft drawing speed for problematic fonts. The effect
348 will likely be small as 99% of the xft slowness is server-related.
349 - perl: much increased functionality, better overlays, popup support
350 and much much more.
351 - perl: urxvt::line now can set via ->t and ->r.
352 - perl: changed interpretation of --perl-ext-common and -pe.
353 - perl: finally implemented --perl-eval.
354 - perl: non-blocking anyevent support.
355 - perl: run tainted and ignore perl-eval/perl-lib if started
356 setuid/setgid.
357 - free the resource database: this plugs a massive memory leak. As a
358 side effect, it also gets rid of XGetDefault calls.
359 - free one of the cursors, fixes a small memory leak.
360 - built-in (as opposed to terminfos) visual bell was broken/too fast.
361 - applied minor cleanups by Ladislav Michnovic.
362 - applied pty handling cleanups and improvements (Emanuele Giaquinta).
363 - mark-urls launch-on-click by jepler.
364 - removed "small" resource parsing function, as it wasn't really
365 compatible, and not really small either.
366 - removed PATH_ENV and PATH file search support.
367 - removed support for locale-specific app-defaults file.
368 - fixed a bug where out-of-bounds colour sequences could lead
369 to crashes.
370 - limit colour changing to the standard 88 palette instead of all
371 colours.
372 - XTerm_Color01 sequence returned wrong results in query mode.
373 - iom.C now checks against destructed io_manager when unregistering.
374
3756.3 Wed Jan 4 22:37:10 CET 2006
376 - SECURITY FIX: on systems using openpty, permissions were
377 not correctly updated on the tty device and were left as
378 world-readable and world-writable (likely in original rxvt,
379 too), and were not restored properly. Affected are only
380 systems where non-unix ptys were used (such as most BSDs, not
381 GNU/Linux). (found, patched and debugged by Ryan Beasley).
382 - meta8 support was forcefully enabled in most configurations.
383 restored configurability of this (useless) feature (reported
384 by Mikachu).
385 - optionally embed a perl interpreter, which can be used for more
386 intelligent/customized selection support, visual feedback,
387 menus, tabs etc. See the the urxvtperl manpage, the -pe option,
388 perl*-resources and keysym resources. Not everything is there yet.
389 - try to be more clever about differing font sizes and their ascent.
390 Not guarenteed to work, but works better in most cases now.
391 - fix directory permissions on install.
392 - implemented option to disable built-in line drawing characters
393 and fall back to the font ones (patch by Martin Pohlack).
394 - disabled sched_yield support: the linux version is just too useless
395 (it schedules nice'd processes before the own one for extended
396 periods). Too bad, it could reduce system time by a factor of 5 here.
397
3986.2 Mon Jan 2 16:03:01 CET 2006
399 - implemented intensityStyles option which enables/disables bold/blink
400 selecting high intensity foreground/background colours, suggested by
401 Chuck Blake.
402 - move iso14755 character feedback box out of the way if it would
403 obscure the mouse cursor position.
404 - replaced callback.h by a fixed version from gvpe that correctly
405 returns the callback result (affects new -pty-fd semantics in urxvtc
406 on a few architectures). Reported by darix.
407 - include one trailing space in rectangular selections to indicate
408 the inserted newline (yeah, weird, but visually more pleasing).
409 - try to use sched_yield to (drastically) improve terminal data
410 transfer efficiency.
411 - further minor cleanups.
412
4136.1 Tue Dec 27 13:23:40 CET 2005
414 - update iso8859-7 table (euro and drachma round-trip et al.).
415 - fix a crash when the selection scrolls out of the scrollback
416 while the user still drags.
417 - selections that were partially scrolled out of the window were
418 not drawn correctly.
419 - lines newly scrolled in were not initialized properly, leading
420 to extremely long lines and (hopefully) some segfaults.
421 - iso14755 overlay position was wrong.
422 - iso14755 overlay now displays rendition info, too.
423 - use unicode white space class instead of hardcoded values for
424 stripping whitespace.
425 - do whitespace stripping on rectangular selections.
426 - slight cleanups in src/features.h.
427
4286.0 Sat Dec 24 13:58:56 CET 2005
429 - make it compile without SMART_RESIZE again.
430 - enable slow link support by default.
431 - fix relative cursor-positioning not respecting scrolling regions
432 (also a bug in original rxvt).
433 - initialize termios structure to zero when fetching it fails
434 (see http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=84647 for a
435 partial patch).
436 - bump max columns/rows to 10000 each.
437 - bump max savelines to 10000000.
438 - -pty-fd now passes the urxvtc fd to the urxvtd process.
439 - avoid linking against -lnsl/-lsocket/-lxpg4 unless neccessary.
440 - major code cleanup (still not complete, though).
441 - implement -hold option.
442 - _major_ rewrite of internal buffer handling:
443 - re-flow on resize, lines get wrapped instead of winged.
444 - circular line buffer (substantially speeds up scrolling).
445 - slightly less code + data memory usage per terminal.
446 - slight overall speed improvements.
447 - considerably improved code clarity.
448 - partial-screen scrolls no longer end up in the scrollback
449 buffer.
450
4515.9 Sat Dec 17 21:53:17 CET 2005
452 - fix a bug in the menu code of unknown impact, found by darix.
453 - clean up signal handling to be global, not per terminal
454 (matters only for rxvtd).
455 - fix small typoe in rxvt.1 (found by Mike Fabian).
456 - don't crash when broken xft/fontconfig/freetype versions return
457 bogus data, ignore the xft font instead (experienced on suse).
458
4595.8 Tue Oct 25 22:21:45 CEST 2005
460 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: many configure options are now on by default.
461 If you want the old behaviour, try:
462 configure --disable-everything <your enable options>
463 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: -fade changed it's meaning to comply with
464 the documentation and common sense: when upgrading, replace your
465 percentage by 100-percentage.
466 - integrated "fade to specific colour" patch by Martin Parm.
467 - slow down the internal visual bell (delay by 20ms) and update
468 the terminfo flash code to use the same delay. This is
469 synchronous, so many bells might inhibit screen updates in other
470 windows.
471 - text with background==foreground colour gets displayed with default
472 bg/fg now when in reverse video, so it can be seen when selecting.
473 - allow koi8r* as x11 encoding name for koi8r (Nikita Danilov).
474 - removed undocumented inheritPixmapforce option.
475 - replaced INSTALL file.
476
4775.7 Wed Jul 13 04:46:33 CEST 2005
478 - implement some useful (hopefully) options for rxvtd.
479 - separate and improved rxvtc(1) and rxvtd(1) manpages.
480 - fix a bug that caused segfaults on startup on systems that do
481 not support local unix connections, e.g cygwin. (btw, I didn't
482 even know about the -rootless and -multiwindow Cygwin/X modes).
483 - large amounts of text without control sequences or newlines
484 could almost freeze output. This has been fixed by adding extra
485 refreshes in these cases (also a problem in original rxvt).
486
4875.6 Sun Jun 26 22:11:13 CEST 2005
488 - R_SB_RXVT bitset value was 0, so rxvt scrollbar was initialised
489 every time resulting in display errors (original rxvt also affected).
490 Reported by Jasmin Buchert.
491 - font names are now considered to be utf-8 encoded (xft apperently
492 uses this convention. X Core fonts might not, but it should be rare).
493 Affects display in iso14755 box.
494 - rewrote the low-level xft drawing function ("xft backend" for the
495 hipper parts of the world) to hopefully cope better with proportional
496 chars mixed with fixed-width ones.
497 - rxvt is now much more careful (read: slower) with potentially
498 overlapping xft characters. It usually overshoots and redraws
499 more than required, but that's better than undershooting and
500 cutting pieces off of characters.
501 - rxvt is now more restrictive in what font heights it accepts for
502 fonts that will likely overshoot or undershoot lines.
503 - fix a cosmetic problem with the unfocused cursor on a wide character
504 at the end of the line (reported by Mikachu).
505 - wide characters not fitting into the end of the line will be
506 output in the next line (reported by Mikachu).
507 - added doc/solaris9.patch by Ewgenij Starostin.
508
5095.5 Sat Apr 23 22:31:36 CEST 2005
510 - re-enabled modifer state matching as in 5.3, but implement
511 a new builtin: keysym style that simply reverts to the built-in
512 meaning of the given key.
513 - use scrollcolor for next scrollbar instead of hardcoded antiquewhite
514 (patch by Martin Edlman).
515
5165.4 Mon Apr 18 00:33:31 CEST 2005
517 - match modifier state exactly in custom keyboard code.
518 this is necessary because it has no knowledge about
519 built-in mappings and so will overwrite them. the priority-code
520 will be re-enabled when this has changed, so watch out.
521 - cursor blinking now depends on frills.
522 - underline cursor mode (frills, -uc).
523 - implement special value (*g*) for pointerBlankDelay
524 to disable it.
525
5265.3 Sun Mar 13 00:20:44 CET 2005
527 - fix a bug that allowed to overflow a buffer via a long
528 escape sequence, which is probably exploitable (fix by
529 Rob Holland / Yoann Vandoorselaere / Gentoo Audit Team).
530 - Custom key mappings no longer confuse mouse buttons
531 with modifiers.
532 - use XmbSetWMProperties instead of XSetWMProperties.
533 - properly update WM_LOCALE.
534 - implement _NET_WM_PING protocol.
535 - implemented escape sequences to move the scrollback buffer view
536 and clear the scrollback buffer.
537
5385.2 Sun Feb 20 01:48:59 CET 2005
539 - new option -pty-fd that makes the terminal a slave
540 that uses an existing pty for I/O instead of starting
541 a command.
542 - implement enough of XEMBED to allow for correct focus.
543 - added doc/embed-tk, an embedding example in Perl/Tk,
544 and doc/rxvt-tabbed, a primitive tabbed shell implemented
545 in Perl/Gtk2.
546 - fix assertion failure ("crash") on mousewheel-scrolling
547 when the terminal height is small, by removing the assert.
548 (reported by Mikael Magnusson).
549 - SYNCCVS. backported bugfixes done to rxvt
550 (sourceforge bugs #1028739, #1028732), except for
551 pts/%s fix as it seems to collide with freebsd,
552 and sourceforge bug #954654, which is not neccessary.
553 - change terminfo file to not clobber G1 when using
554 line-drawing characters, as this seems to mess
555 with EUC-JP (it will clobber G0, but G0 practically
556 needs to be US-ASCII all the time).
557 - toggle default application keypad/cursor mode to help
558 some apps who fail to set the correct mode.
559 - check for WM_PROTOCOLS type in ClientMessage as to
560 not destroy the window for other types of messages.
561 - remove shared library (or any library) support - it is
562 of no use currently (and -embed is a better way to embed
563 rxvt-unicode).
564 - get rid of the intpro files.
565

21 (Kuang-che Wu). 569 (Kuang-che Wu).
570 - new option: -embed (frills). somebody could write a simple
571 tk script to make a tab'able terminal now...
572 - only warn on X errors and _try_ to continue (frills).
573 - add COPYING back, which got lost somehow.
574 - after deciding that LSM is dead, remove all traces of it,
575 along with other, similar, cleanups.
576 - _try_ to react sensibly to some non-monotonic time changes.
577 - don't crash in urxvtc when getcwd fails (reported by Paco-Paco).
578 - tweak font searching algorithm a bit to be faster and more
579 compatible with older rxvt-unicode versions when multiple fonts
580 match (reported by Paco-Paco).
581 - urxvtd tries to stay in "/" whenever possible.
