3TODO: init_secondary serves what purpose? maybe move it to earlier startup phase and re-think
4TODO: xcopyarea pass broken, fix and improve
5TODO: event mechanism that replaces on_keyboard_command with something more scalable.
6TODO: slipwheeling needs a keyboard grab to get key release events.
7TODO: overlays collide with the way the out-of-focus cursor is being drawn
8TODO: "slow" rendering mode for bidi and scripts, pango!
5TODO: read property sequence is broken with respect to utf-8 etc. 9TODO: read property sequence is broken with respect to utf-8 etc.
6FEAT: hotkey font resizing 10TODO: slow drag selection on remote display - other things seem fast (rxvt illness, motion hints?)
7FEAT: searchable backlog 11TODO: investigate -pe tabbed -g 80x25 being 23 not 24 or 25 lines
8FEAT: meta-tagging of data by regex (my dream project) 12 => when setting the constraints, the wm might (correctly)
9FEAT: triple-click == select full output line 13 resize the outer window, which might result in a smaller window overall.
10FEAT: double-click: more intelligent (urls etc.) 14 or something like that. guys, send me a patch.
11FEAT: OnTheSpot editing. 15WISH: selection-color-pair instead of reverse video
12FEAT: tabbed windows 16WISH: load system-wide config file even if we don't have one
17WISH: look into XAddConnectionWatch, does anybody need that?
18DUMB: support tex fonts
13 19
20TODO: weird flicker after changing backgorund pixmap
21 Esetroot some image
22 rxvt -ip -sh 50 -tint blue
23 Esetroot some image again
24 resizing the window now shows flashes of untinted pixmap (metacity)
25
26 - fix the issue where urxvtd would not immediately close a window
27 when the command exited but only on the next X event.
28 - fix the issue where making a selection in one urxvtd window
29 would not clear it visually in another.
30 - changed terminfo file not to use application keypad mode.
31 - fix redraw bug in xterm scrollbar with -sr (reported by Mikachu).
32 - correctly provide dependencies for libev (µikachu).
33 - minor code reorganisations and cleanups.
34
358.8 Sat Dec 15 19:40:39 CET 2007
36 - option -C was aliased to all unsupported options, activating
37 options that shouldn't be compiled in, leading to interesting
38 effects.
39 - updated libev, working around a bug in linux 2.4, curing the
40 symptom of urxvt not closing its window on shell exit. also
41 fixes a problem with urxvt not refreshing.
42 - the text blink callback was called even when no blinking
43 text was visible.
44 - pre-8.4 slipwheeling behaviour has been reinstated, with
45 some minor improvements.
46 - streamlined x events processing to only flush once per
47 display and not once per terminal window.
48 - quite a bit of minor code cleanups and codesize optimisations.
49
508.7 Sun Nov 25 10:23:49 CET 2007
51 - update libev with an important bugfix that would cause crashes
52 when closing windows (when using rxvtd, and update is recommended).
53 - do not compile in the block builtin graphics with --disable-frills.
54
558.6 Fri Nov 23 14:10:57 CET 2007
56 - upgrade libev to disable kqueue on anything but netbsd as it
57 seems to be broken everywhere else w.r.t. ptys.
58 - allow for spurious event notifications, as at least epoll and
59 especially solaris ports like to lie about them (symptoms:
60 urxvt "hangs" until there is some x11 related activity).
61 - -keysym command line options are now subjected to xlib parsing.
62 - add 'xrm' option analogous to Xt one.
63
648.5a Wed Nov 21 10:16:33 CET 2007
65 - make it compile with --disable-transparency.
66
678.5 Wed Nov 21 05:19:20 CET 2007
68 - expect major portability issues in this release: please test and report.
69 - converted from the veritable io manager event loop to
70 the high performance libev (http://software.schmorp.de/pkg/libev).
71 - minor tuning to the perl selection (include single words and more quoting chars).
72 - fix memory leak in pixmap code.
73 - fix a serious bug while setting the XIM destroy callback
74 on (typical) 64 bit systems.
75 - automove-background functionality re-implemented internaly using :root op in pixmap
76 geometry string. For example: rxvt -pixmap "image.jpg;:root"
77 - do not link rxvtc against every lib on the planet anymore.
78 - parallel builds should work once more.
79
808.4 Sat Oct 27 14:02:13 CEST 2007
81 - overhaul of the transparency/pixmap code (sasha).
82 - fix possible race betwen visual bell and poweron.
83 (reported by Martin von Gagern, gentoo?).
84 - urxvt -e no longer crashes the child.
85 - fixed some minor memleaks on incorrect usage or
86 missing DISPLAY.
87 - implement xterm 1002/1003 mouse tracking modes (exg).
88 - source code organisational cleanups (exg).
89 - updated io_manager.
90
918.3 Wed Aug 1 20:21:31 CEST 2007
92 - new option: skipScroll/-ss, enabled by default.
93 - go with the times and expect x11 library files in /usr/lib, not
94 /usr/X11R6/lib.
95 - initial transparency improvement/afterimage support
96 patch by Sasha Vasko.
97 - add urgentOnBell resource to set the urgency hint
98 (patch by Philip Paeps).
99 - do not process focus events caused by grabs
100 (patch by Mikachu).
101 - add iso14755_52 resource to disable iso14755 5.2 (exg).
102 - add binding for backspace in iso14755 5.1 to remove the last
103 digit (exg).
104 - better option handling, support more than 30 options (exg).
105 - nuke reconf script, serves no purpose anymore.
106 - fixed and documented matcher/on_user_command processing in matcher
107 extension (tpope).
108 - compile out of the box on Solaris 10 (exg).
109 - fix MappingNotify events (reported by Stephan Walter).
110 - zero-initialise mwmhints, this seems to solve all sorts of minor
111 problems.
112
1138.2 Sat Feb 17 21:35:28 CET 2007
114 - fix make depend in src/, reported by exg.
115 - fixed typo in urxvt::GET_CUSTOM, causing the result to be wrong.
116 (patch by Sergey Vlasov).
117 - unbundled iom perl interface somewhat.
118 - scrollbar-xterm now uses the selected scrollColor instead of fg
119 (found by Aiviru).
120 - disabled linux kernel bug workaround again: disabling it gives
121 a 50% speed hit on affected machines, while enabling it gives
122 a similar speed hit to screen, which is likely the more common
123 case to work around for :/
124 - urxvt::rend2mask perl function, and utilization of it by matcher
125 (patch by Moshe Kamensky).
126 - use perl:matcher on a keysym to open most recently displayed URL.
127 - with matcher, when multiple patterns match, last wins, not first.
128 - fix make and make install with srcdir != builddir (exg).
129 - updated bundled libptytty to fix a bug where the tty would be kept
130 open (see the libptytty ChangeLog for details).
131 - delay setting the IUTF8 flag to after the tty settings have been
132 set so its value does not get lost (reported and analysed by Andrei
133 Paskevich).
134 - rip out support for obsolete sgtty.h interface.
135 - rip out support for non-POSIX termios variants.
136 - update libptytty.
137 - update iom.C, make it call ptytty::sanitise_stdfd on init.
138 - when !XFT, change rounding of colours to use a less correct formula to
139 meet user expectancies (#aaa becomes #a000a000a000 not #9f9f9f9f9f9f).
140 - change the starting offset of the pixmap set with backgroundPixmap
141 from (50,50) to (0,0) (exg).
142 - fix a typo in button_release, now meta-button2 request the value of
143 the Clipboard selection as it should (patch by Serge Koksharov).
144 - fix a bug in drawing a cell with a nonspacing char when using an xft
145 font with inheritPixmap and tintColor (exg).
146
1478.1 Thu Dec 7 22:27:25 CET 2006
148 - ｹﾘｽﾏｽﾌ゚ﾚｾ゙ﾝﾄ - zomg!!1, it's too early!!!
149 - fix the assumption that chars < 256 are single-width. Now
150 only assume this for codepoints 32 to 126 (reported by Dai.H.).
151 - $term->strwidth returned wide chars as width 1, because some jerk
152 confused min and max. Fixing this also fixes xim-onthespot.
153 Reported by Takano Akio.
154 - secondaryScroll is now enabled by default (as per the manpage),
155 reported by exg.
156 - correct the description of [percent]color rgba format in the manpage.
157 - incorporated macosx-clipboard extension by Samuel Ljungkvist.
158 - ignore (some) useless focus events (reported by mmc).
159 - updated compose table to unicode 5.0.0.
160
1618.0 Thu Nov 2 18:35:19 CET 2006
162 - combining characters cleared the area instead of creating an overlay,
163 thus losing the ability to draw combining characters properly in most
164 circumstances (reported by exg).
165 - specified fonts were incorrectly morphed to bold/italic according to the
166 basefont, even if explicitly specified (tracked down by tpope).
167 - fixed urxvt::strwidth to calculate width in the same way as screen.C.
168 - fix a crash caused by passing negative widths to overlay functions.
169 - added 'matcher' extension by tpope, replacing the mark-urls extension.
170 - improve url regex to match anything www.* (tpope).
171 - fixed bug with outline cursor color being wrong after xft fonts.
172 - update to libptytty-1.0.
173 - give proper diagnostic when RXVT_SOCKET is too long instead of
174 corrupting the stack (patch by exg).
175 - display current terminal locale in option menu.
176 - urxvtd no longer crashes when the client sends an inaccessible
177 working directory (reported by Roland Baer, possibly fixes gentoo
178 bug #143985).
179 - fixed many minor issues reported by Roland Baer.
180 - Leonid Khramov spotted a minor glitch in rxvtfont.C that
181 should not have any consequences, but was buggy nonetheless.
182 - manpage fix by exg.
183
1847.9 Mon Aug 7 18:16:07 CEST 2006
185 - fix the crashing bug people encountered with 7.8 + urxvtd + perl
186 + transparency. Ought to fix debian bug #380348.
187 - fix urxvtc.1.pod: it actually claimed -pty-fd would not work. But
188 it does! :->
189 - rxvt_fatal() in case the locale string is too long for our static buffer.
190 - fixed many, many, typos in the manpages (patch supplied by ves).
191
1927.8 Mon Jul 17 21:00:46 CEST 2006
193 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: this version will always read ~/.Xdefaults,
194 earlier versions only read it if display-resources (usually from
195 .Xresources) are not set. This avoids the #1 FAQ ("why isn't my
196 resource used") and seems to be logical behaviour, too. .Xdefaults
197 resources have a lower priority than display-specific resources.
198 - add "kuake" perl extension that does a similar thing to the kuake
199 terminal emulator (see man urxtvperl).
200 - use less "correct" color scaling that is compatible with libX11 and
201 Xft (avoids off-by-one colors resulting in striped backgrounds).
202 - the "depth" resource is now respected.
203 - preset the searchable-scrollback pattern with "(?i)" to default search
204 to case-insensitivity. Will automatically be cleared when typing an
205 uppercase character.
206 - add FORCE_UNBUFFERED_XFT define to features.h.
207 - re-enabled highlightcolor support with --enable-frills, based on
208 a patch by Martin Stubenschrott.
209 - double-buffered xft drawing did suffer from pixel offset issues
210 when pixmap transparency was enabled.
211 - strategically add # to the url-match regexes, as we really want to
212 match common URIs not common URLs. Reported by Aaron Griffin.
213 - moved on_osc_seq to on_osc_seq_perl and added a more
214 generic osc_seq.
215 - fix a bug causing double callback invocations when perl hooks
216 were invoked recursively.
217 - the automove-background extension now properly works when the
218 pixmap gets reset with an osc sequence (sqweek).
219 - selection-pastebin did not work properly with non-latin1-characters.
220 - apply colorUL only when the text colour is the default fg
221 (patch by Wu Fengguang).
222 - removed rxvtlib.h from the tarball, it had no reason to be there
223 (spotted by Decklin Foster).
224 - fix compiling with TRANSPARENT but !XPM_BACKGROUND, as reported
225 by omatunto_.
226 - slap in a using namespace std, might help on platforms that don't
227 follow C++ closely enough.
228 - fix mailto url regex, spotted within milliseconds by Jost Krieger.
229 - applied fade_color_update_func.patch by WU Fengguang.
230 - fix a bug where (due to an optimisation in av_delete), hiding the
231 bottom-most overlay would hide two overlays.
232
2337.7 Tue Feb 21 12:32:49 CET 2006
234 - use double-buffered drawing (xft fonts only). On many driver/hardware
235 combination this actually increases xft drawing speed, at the expense
236 of more network bandwidth and slight nausea on the side of the author.
237 - readline perl extension now requires shift-click instead of a normal
238 click, and eats the click.
239 - tabbed perl extension now supports -e.
240 - disabled graphics-exposures on the main drawing GC, report any
241 refresh bugs please.
242 - improve property handling for -pe tabbed: avoid unnecessary property
243 changes (for kde's benefit) at the expense of extra round-trips,
244 improve size hint setting.
245 - modified XIM according to a patch sent by Takano Akio that sets
246 the preedit rectangle for OverTheSpot, which helps some input methods
247 to correctly position their preedit window.
248 - un-optimise the line clearing on newly scrolled-in lines a bit: the
249 former reasoning was that any fg colour on default bg looks the same
250 in empty spaces, but thats not true when reversing (e.g. selection),
251 so also check for matching fg colours. This fixes the problem where
252 selecting newly scrolled-in lines would exhibit wrong colours.
253 - fix a bug in the perl interface causing focus in events to generate
254 focus out perl events, causing bad focus effects with -pe tabbed.
255 - fix a race resulting in a crash on exiting.
256 - fix a with --disable-xft that caused xfreecolors to be called on
257 colors never allocated, resulting in aborts (reported by Paco-Paco).
258 - resources on non-initial screens weren't refetched correctly
259 (reported by Paco-Paco).
260 - fix a bug in xcopyarea pass and _disable_ it, as it seems not to be
261 working in either rxvt-unicode nor in the original rxvt.
262 - removed undocumented -exec alias for the -e option.
263
2647.6 Fri Feb 10 08:52:36 CET 2006
265 - changed interpretation of [alpha] colour prefix.
266 - +option now really sets the option to default, instead of using the
267 resource value.
268 - options that require an argument now really _require_ an argument.
269 - the tabbed extension now forwards focus and keys events to th
270 relevant tab window.
271 - tab colours are now configurable and have sensible defaults
272 (initial patch by hednod).
273 - option menu is extendable, readline, selection and
274 selection-autotransform can now be disabled/enabled at runtime.
275 - forcing a configure event to tabbed subwindows with -pe tabbed, for
276 the benefit of automove-background.
277 - the automove-background extension added a wrong constant offset.
278 - force refresh of XA_RESOURCE_STRING on virtual reconnect.
279 - return exit status 2 in urxvtc when urxvtd couldn't be contacted.
280 - the linux yield hack is back, now using usleep, and enabled only on
281 __linux__.
282 - further round trip eliminations in the !XFT case by remembering
283 the colour components.
284 - plain scrollbar works better with -sr.
285 - fixed half-shadow scrollbar look.
286 - more colour rtt optimisations.
287 - properly(?) free colours on window close.
288 - reorganised the FAQ into multiple sections.
289 - add ISO646.1991-IRV to the list of supported codesets.
290 - minor libptytty update.
291
2927.5 Tue Jan 31 15:15:43 CET 2006
293 - further improvements to the careful mode detection, and font width
294 detection:
295 - fully double-wide fonts will now be correctly treated,
296 - overlap detection was improved.
297 - detect totally broken fonts (usually synthesized by xft).
298 - careful mode forced refresh sometimes clashed with blinking,
299 causing unnecessary screen redraws.
300 - better handling of XFT combining characters.
301 - enable antialiasing for some replacement fonts, as they
302 might get used for other encodings which really need it, later.
303 - remove spacing=100 from all default fonts, as this creates totally
304 weird spacing (5 times normal) with xft.
305 - removed iso10646 fallback, as xorgs iso10646 encoded fonts are mostly
306 broken.
307 - removed gnu unifont fallback, all combining characters are broken.
308 - replace named colours by xorg's rgb.txt equivalents, to
309 reduce round trip time on startup, and short-cut allocation
310 of rgb:rr/gg/bb for xft.
311 - short-cut allocation of rgb values in the xlib case
312 (patch by Paco-Paco).
313 - overhauled color management: smaller codesize, alpha support.
314 - support "rgba:rrrr/gggg/bbbb/aaaa" color specifications and
315 an "[alpha]" prefix.
316 - try to work around Xft and Xrender forcing everything to be 100%
317 transparent. Long Live Xft!
318 - do not include X11/Intrinsic.h anymore, directly use
319 Xlib/Xutil/Xresource directly.
320 - try to find a nearest matching color when color allocation fails
321 on a pseudocolor screen.
322 - SYNCCVS: compared to rxvt-cvs 2006-01-28, no relevant changes.
323 - fix version report (DA) (which was unfortunately broken).
324 - changed version number report again, now to emulate xterm closer.
325 - added the OSC sequence 702 to detect the urxvt version number.
326 - small configure updates.
327 - further RTT optimisations.
328 - backported clean-up patches for makefiles and documentation from
329 the debian package.
330 - updated doc/rxvt-unicode.spec file. It's still not maintained here,
331 but much newer than the old one.
332
3337.4 Sat Jan 28 15:26:27 CET 2006
334 - screen background wasn't always erased properly when scrolling,
335 - re-enabled clearing optimisation disabled in 7.4pre.
336 - small configure updates for libptytty.
337 - fixed version options: line output.
338 - removed stoopid debugging message left in the code.
339
3407.3 Wed Jan 25 22:47:35 CET 2006
341 - don't let iso14755 or mouse reporting get into the way of perl
342 (could lead to global grabs never being cleared).
343 - experimental OnTheSpot editing support (-pe xim-onthespot).
344 - moved Shift-Button2 paste combination to Meta-Button2.
345 - the cutchars resource will now be respected and used by the
346 selection extension.
347 - added the "remote-clipboard" extension which just runs external
348 commands to fetch and store the selection data.
349 - added -depth switch that tries to get a different visual depth
350 than the default (replaces the old PREFER_24_BIT logic).
351 - removed (unused) arabic presentation form composing sequences.
352 - be more strict when deciding that a core font glyph is too wide and
353 needs the careful rendering mode.
354 - allow more leeway for italic fonts when deciding that a character is
355 too wide and needs careful mode.
356 - redraw even more characters around characters using careful mode.
357 - made selection-pastebin fully asynchronous.
358 - reduced number of server turnarounds at startup by allocating
359 atoms only once per display.
360 - renamed on_keyboard_command to on_user_command.
361 - changed version sos (ESC [ > c) response to be more compatible with
362 xterm.
363
3647.2 Sun Jan 22 21:58:16 CET 2006
365 - bugfix: urxvt (not urxvtd) did not correctly handle multiple
366 environments necessary, which resulted in segfaults within
367 getenv (reproducable: urxvt -fn 9x15, open a menu once,
368 ctrl-shift-672c).
369 - bugfix: the selection speedup in in 7.1 unfortunately caused
370 non-ascii characters to enlarge/move the selection.
371 - bugfix: resizing sometimes leaked lines from the secondary to
372 the primary screen.
373 - bugfix: reducing window size while large amounts of text were output
374 could lead to an assertion failure.
375 - added "tabbed" extension that provides a crude tabbed terminal.
376 - added "readline" extension that allows cursor positioning
377 via mouse clicks.
378 - now it is possible to insert the value of the CLIPBOARD selection
379 with shift - mouse button 2.
380 - fixed the automove-background extension to ignore coordinates
381 in non-synthetic events.
382 - created a separate libpty for portable and secure
383 pty/tty/utmp/wtmp/lastlog handling, and include it in rxvt-unicode.
384 - the non-terminfo visual bell now works asynchronously, so
385 continuous ASCI BELs in one terminal do no longer monopolise the
386 whole urxvt[d] process.
387 - support some *BSD makes (for the time being, gnu make is a safe bet).
388 - work around bugs in FreeBSD's gcc.
389 - implemented some *BSD fixes in configure.
390 - removed support for obsolete offix dnd protocol.
391
3927.1 Thu Jan 19 20:25:34 CET 2006
393 - setuid/setgid operation is now _encouraged_: security has been
394 improved by moving privileged operations into a separate process
395 and permanently dropping privileges within the terminal. This
396 makes it possible to remove security checks from the perl code
397 and gives a much safer feeling when urxvt needs to run with
398 special privileges.
399 - perl taint checking disabled, as urxvt no longer runs setuid/setgid
400 itself.
401 - new perl extension automove-background that can be used to get
402 the same effect as pseudo-transparency with any pixmap.
403 - new perl extension example: perl/selection-pastebin, can be used to
404 e.g. upload the selection to a webserver and generate a url, or
405 similar stuff.
406 - use the scrollback buffer even when the scroll region doesn't
407 span the whole screen, as long as it starts at row 0. Helps
408 for programs displaying a status line at the bottom.
409 - selection popup now shows selection in dec/hex/oct.
410 - perl/selection: matching on unicode characters in the selection
411 code was O(n²), which equals infinity in some degenerate cases
412 :-> Matching is now done on UTF-8, which makes it almost instant.
413 - perl/selection, perl/selection-autotransform: regexes are now
414 being interpreted in the locale urxvt was started.
415 - implemented override-redirect option and enabled it on menus,
416 as kwin puts our windows behind the terminal (what a shoddy wm).
417 - fixed struct utmp check in configure for OpenBSD.
418 - complete overhaul of the pty/utmp management stuff and configure
419 (Emanuele Giaquinta).
420 - add tsl/fsl and related capabilities to the terminfo description,
421 to set the window title.
422 - swap the environment in some more cases. This hopefully fixes
423 some segfaults that might be caused by xft asking for env variables
424 at the wrong time.
425 - removed src/strings.C and src/menubar.C. No menubar support
426 anymore.
427 - removed all traces of SMOOTH_REFRESH.
428 - nuked QNX support.
429 - made some fixes to xpm offset and scaling code.
430 - perl-overlays and refresh hooks were not applied in correct order.
431 - changed coordinate-system of view_start/nsaved to be top to bottom.
432 - iom extended to support listening for child exits.
433
4347.0 Fri Jan 13 14:02:18 CET 2006
435 - added sections for DISTRIBUTION MAINTAINERS and about
436 SETUID/SETGID to the FAQ.
437 - selection, searchable-scrollback, selection-popup and
438 option-popup extensions enabled by default.
439 - increased xft drawing speed for problematic fonts. The effect
440 will likely be small as 99% of the xft slowness is server-related.
441 - perl: much increased functionality, better overlays, popup support
442 and much much more.
443 - perl: urxvt::line now can set via ->t and ->r.
444 - perl: changed interpretation of --perl-ext-common and -pe.
445 - perl: finally implemented --perl-eval.
446 - perl: non-blocking anyevent support.
447 - perl: run tainted and ignore perl-eval/perl-lib if started
448 setuid/setgid.
449 - free the resource database: this plugs a massive memory leak. As a
450 side effect, it also gets rid of XGetDefault calls.
451 - free one of the cursors, fixes a small memory leak.
452 - built-in (as opposed to terminfos) visual bell was broken/too fast.
453 - applied minor cleanups by Ladislav Michnovic.
454 - applied pty handling cleanups and improvements (Emanuele Giaquinta).
455 - mark-urls launch-on-click by jepler.
456 - removed "small" resource parsing function, as it wasn't really
457 compatible, and not really small either.
458 - removed PATH_ENV and PATH file search support.
459 - removed support for locale-specific app-defaults file.
460 - fixed a bug where out-of-bounds colour sequences could lead
461 to crashes.
462 - limit colour changing to the standard 88 palette instead of all
463 colours.
464 - XTerm_Color01 sequence returned wrong results in query mode.
465 - iom.C now checks against destructed io_manager when unregistering.
466
4676.3 Wed Jan 4 22:37:10 CET 2006
468 - SECURITY FIX: on systems using openpty, permissions were
469 not correctly updated on the tty device and were left as
470 world-readable and world-writable (likely in original rxvt,
471 too), and were not restored properly. Affected are only
472 systems where non-unix ptys were used (such as most BSDs, not
473 GNU/Linux). (found, patched and debugged by Ryan Beasley).
474 - meta8 support was forcefully enabled in most configurations.
475 restored configurability of this (useless) feature (reported
476 by Mikachu).
477 - optionally embed a perl interpreter, which can be used for more
478 intelligent/customized selection support, visual feedback,
479 menus, tabs etc. See the the urxvtperl manpage, the -pe option,
480 perl*-resources and keysym resources. Not everything is there yet.
481 - try to be more clever about differing font sizes and their ascent.
482 Not guarenteed to work, but works better in most cases now.
483 - fix directory permissions on install.
484 - implemented option to disable built-in line drawing characters
485 and fall back to the font ones (patch by Martin Pohlack).
486 - disabled sched_yield support: the linux version is just too useless
487 (it schedules nice'd processes before the own one for extended
488 periods). Too bad, it could reduce system time by a factor of 5 here.
489
4906.2 Mon Jan 2 16:03:01 CET 2006
491 - implemented intensityStyles option which enables/disables bold/blink
492 selecting high intensity foreground/background colours, suggested by
493 Chuck Blake.
494 - move iso14755 character feedback box out of the way if it would
495 obscure the mouse cursor position.
496 - replaced callback.h by a fixed version from gvpe that correctly
497 returns the callback result (affects new -pty-fd semantics in urxvtc
498 on a few architectures). Reported by darix.
499 - include one trailing space in rectangular selections to indicate
500 the inserted newline (yeah, weird, but visually more pleasing).
501 - try to use sched_yield to (drastically) improve terminal data
502 transfer efficiency.
503 - further minor cleanups.
504
5056.1 Tue Dec 27 13:23:40 CET 2005
506 - update iso8859-7 table (euro and drachma round-trip et al.).
507 - fix a crash when the selection scrolls out of the scrollback
508 while the user still drags.
509 - selections that were partially scrolled out of the window were
510 not drawn correctly.
511 - lines newly scrolled in were not initialized properly, leading
512 to extremely long lines and (hopefully) some segfaults.
513 - iso14755 overlay position was wrong.
514 - iso14755 overlay now displays rendition info, too.
515 - use unicode white space class instead of hardcoded values for
516 stripping whitespace.
517 - do whitespace stripping on rectangular selections.
518 - slight cleanups in src/features.h.
519
5206.0 Sat Dec 24 13:58:56 CET 2005
521 - make it compile without SMART_RESIZE again.
522 - enable slow link support by default.
523 - fix relative cursor-positioning not respecting scrolling regions
524 (also a bug in original rxvt).
525 - initialize termios structure to zero when fetching it fails
526 (see http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=84647 for a
527 partial patch).
528 - bump max columns/rows to 10000 each.
529 - bump max savelines to 10000000.
530 - -pty-fd now passes the urxvtc fd to the urxvtd process.
531 - avoid linking against -lnsl/-lsocket/-lxpg4 unless neccessary.
532 - major code cleanup (still not complete, though).
533 - implement -hold option.
534 - _major_ rewrite of internal buffer handling:
535 - re-flow on resize, lines get wrapped instead of winged.
536 - circular line buffer (substantially speeds up scrolling).
537 - slightly less code + data memory usage per terminal.
538 - slight overall speed improvements.
539 - considerably improved code clarity.
540 - partial-screen scrolls no longer end up in the scrollback
541 buffer.
542
5435.9 Sat Dec 17 21:53:17 CET 2005
544 - fix a bug in the menu code of unknown impact, found by darix.
545 - clean up signal handling to be global, not per terminal
546 (matters only for rxvtd).
547 - fix small typoe in rxvt.1 (found by Mike Fabian).
548 - don't crash when broken xft/fontconfig/freetype versions return
549 bogus data, ignore the xft font instead (experienced on suse).
550
5515.8 Tue Oct 25 22:21:45 CEST 2005
552 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: many configure options are now on by default.
553 If you want the old behaviour, try:
554 configure --disable-everything <your enable options>
555 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: -fade changed it's meaning to comply with
556 the documentation and common sense: when upgrading, replace your
557 percentage by 100-percentage.
558 - integrated "fade to specific colour" patch by Martin Parm.
559 - slow down the internal visual bell (delay by 20ms) and update
560 the terminfo flash code to use the same delay. This is
561 synchronous, so many bells might inhibit screen updates in other
562 windows.
563 - text with background==foreground colour gets displayed with default
564 bg/fg now when in reverse video, so it can be seen when selecting.
565 - allow koi8r* as x11 encoding name for koi8r (Nikita Danilov).
566 - removed undocumented inheritPixmapforce option.
567 - replaced INSTALL file.
568
5695.7 Wed Jul 13 04:46:33 CEST 2005
570 - implement some useful (hopefully) options for rxvtd.
571 - separate and improved rxvtc(1) and rxvtd(1) manpages.
572 - fix a bug that caused segfaults on startup on systems that do
573 not support local unix connections, e.g cygwin. (btw, I didn't
574 even know about the -rootless and -multiwindow Cygwin/X modes).
575 - large amounts of text without control sequences or newlines
576 could almost freeze output. This has been fixed by adding extra
577 refreshes in these cases (also a problem in original rxvt).
578
5795.6 Sun Jun 26 22:11:13 CEST 2005
580 - R_SB_RXVT bitset value was 0, so rxvt scrollbar was initialised
581 every time resulting in display errors (original rxvt also affected).
582 Reported by Jasmin Buchert.
583 - font names are now considered to be utf-8 encoded (xft apperently
584 uses this convention. X Core fonts might not, but it should be rare).
585 Affects display in iso14755 box.
586 - rewrote the low-level xft drawing function ("xft backend" for the
587 hipper parts of the world) to hopefully cope better with proportional
588 chars mixed with fixed-width ones.
589 - rxvt is now much more careful (read: slower) with potentially
590 overlapping xft characters. It usually overshoots and redraws
591 more than required, but that's better than undershooting and
592 cutting pieces off of characters.
593 - rxvt is now more restrictive in what font heights it accepts for
594 fonts that will likely overshoot or undershoot lines.
595 - fix a cosmetic problem with the unfocused cursor on a wide character
596 at the end of the line (reported by Mikachu).
597 - wide characters not fitting into the end of the line will be
598 output in the next line (reported by Mikachu).
599 - added doc/solaris9.patch by Ewgenij Starostin.
600
6015.5 Sat Apr 23 22:31:36 CEST 2005
602 - re-enabled modifer state matching as in 5.3, but implement
603 a new builtin: keysym style that simply reverts to the built-in
604 meaning of the given key.
605 - use scrollcolor for next scrollbar instead of hardcoded antiquewhite
606 (patch by Martin Edlman).
607
6085.4 Mon Apr 18 00:33:31 CEST 2005
609 - match modifier state exactly in custom keyboard code.
610 this is necessary because it has no knowledge about
611 built-in mappings and so will overwrite them. the priority-code
612 will be re-enabled when this has changed, so watch out.
613 - cursor blinking now depends on frills.
614 - underline cursor mode (frills, -uc).
615 - implement special value (*g*) for pointerBlankDelay
616 to disable it.
617
6185.3 Sun Mar 13 00:20:44 CET 2005
619 - fix a bug that allowed to overflow a buffer via a long
620 escape sequence, which is probably exploitable (fix by
621 Rob Holland / Yoann Vandoorselaere / Gentoo Audit Team).
622 - Custom key mappings no longer confuse mouse buttons
623 with modifiers.
624 - use XmbSetWMProperties instead of XSetWMProperties.
625 - properly update WM_LOCALE.
626 - implement _NET_WM_PING protocol.
627 - implemented escape sequences to move the scrollback buffer view
628 and clear the scrollback buffer.
629
6305.2 Sun Feb 20 01:48:59 CET 2005
631 - new option -pty-fd that makes the terminal a slave
632 that uses an existing pty for I/O instead of starting
633 a command.
634 - implement enough of XEMBED to allow for correct focus.
635 - added doc/embed-tk, an embedding example in Perl/Tk,
636 and doc/rxvt-tabbed, a primitive tabbed shell implemented
637 in Perl/Gtk2.
638 - fix assertion failure ("crash") on mousewheel-scrolling
639 when the terminal height is small, by removing the assert.
640 (reported by Mikael Magnusson).
641 - SYNCCVS. backported bugfixes done to rxvt
642 (sourceforge bugs #1028739, #1028732), except for
643 pts/%s fix as it seems to collide with freebsd,
644 and sourceforge bug #954654, which is not neccessary.
645 - change terminfo file to not clobber G1 when using
646 line-drawing characters, as this seems to mess
647 with EUC-JP (it will clobber G0, but G0 practically
648 needs to be US-ASCII all the time).
649 - toggle default application keypad/cursor mode to help
650 some apps who fail to set the correct mode.
651 - check for WM_PROTOCOLS type in ClientMessage as to
652 not destroy the window for other types of messages.
653 - remove shared library (or any library) support - it is
654 of no use currently (and -embed is a better way to embed
655 rxvt-unicode).
656 - get rid of the intpro files.
657
6585.1 Tue Feb 15 17:13:27 CET 2005
659 - fix a bug when parsing fontnames and another one
660 for empty keymaps which could result in crashes
661 (Kuang-che Wu).
662 - new option: -embed (frills). somebody could write a simple
663 tk script to make a tab'able terminal now...
664 - only warn on X errors and _try_ to continue (frills).
665 - add COPYING back, which got lost somehow.
666 - after deciding that LSM is dead, remove all traces of it,
667 along with other, similar, cleanups.
668 - _try_ to react sensibly to some non-monotonic time changes.
669 - don't crash in urxvtc when getcwd fails (reported by Paco-Paco).
670 - tweak font searching algorithm a bit to be faster and more
671 compatible with older rxvt-unicode versions when multiple fonts
672 match (reported by Paco-Paco).
673 - urxvtd tries to stay in "/" whenever possible.
674
6755.0 Fri Feb 11 18:31:48 CET 2005
676 - document a race-free hack to start urxvtd.
677 - document all(?) environment variables used and set by rxvt.
678 - bring xgetdefault-style resource file ordering more in line with
679 Xt, and document it in rxvt(1).
680 - correctly use screen-dependent resources when --enable-xgetdefault,
681 and also fix some memory bugs (thanks to Thierry Reding for
682 his patience and time in tracking this down).
683 - bring own resource parsing more in line with X resource parsing,
684 most notably, don't remove double quotes.
685 - compile fix for freebsd (no ut_id) (Thierry Thomas).
686 - clean up utmp and pty on X I/O errors and signals (idea
687 by Joël Riou).
688 - "un"document -xrm, it never really worked, was only
689 available with --enable-xgetdefault, is not necessary
690 and is surprisingly hard to implement.
691 - shaved off some code segment size.
692 - various code cleanups.
693 - more keysym-mapping fixes.
694
6954.9 Thu Feb 3 09:52:03 CET 2005
696 - nuke out utmp entries completely. Should be fixed in
697 original rxvt, too. (reported by James Michael Fultz).
698 - resizes wil now correctly refresh the displayed text when
699 -pixmap is active.
700 - new option/resource imFont.
701 - document --tripleclickwords/-tcw.
702 - select logical instead of physical lines when doing a triple-click.
703 - reordered help listing to group similar options together.
704 - handle SIGINT the same way as SIGTERM (reported by Joël Riou).
705 - fix a bug introduced while applying the keyboard patch
706 (WU Fengguang).
707 - document all window-op sequences (rxvt.7.) and more keysym
708 examples (rxvt.1).
709 - removed src/test completely.
710 - renamed keysym 'proto:'-prefix to 'command:'.
711
7124.8 Tue Jan 18 02:23:57 CET 2005
713 - added a patch by WU Fengguang that makes the keyboard
714 highly configurable (e.g. locale changes, custom escape
715 sequences, and more). See keysym resource in rxvt(1).
716 - remove default key sequence for unknown keys again, as this
717 can be achieved by customizing the keyboard now.
718 - fix some freeing problems when destroying the rxvt_display,
719 resulting in segfaults.
720 - don't crash when the saved cursor position doesn't fit on the
721 screen (wrong assert in original rxvt, reported by ikaro).
722 - fix signed/unsigned bugs on wc<->mb conversions.
723 - reset slipwheel scrolling speed when reaching the top or bottom
724 (Mikael Magnusson).
725 - for core fonts, use ascent + descent when a font is loaded,
726 and PIXEL_SIZE when not. when loading a font, iterate until a
727 font has been found that _really_ fits the height (reported and
728 tested by Olivier Wittenberg).
729 - set IUTF8 input flag, when defined (linux-2.6.5+).
730 - only define _XOPEN_SOURCE on solaris.
731 - autogenerate src/* dependency list.
732 - fixed linespace option, which ought to work now (and is dependent
733 on frills, not on it's own configure option).
734 - include pty.h, if available (cygwin).
735 - removed W11 directory from dist, it wasn't used anyway.
736 - initialize the locale much earlier.
737 - fixed two tiny per-instance memory leaks.
738
7394.7 Wed Dec 29 20:54:24 CET 2004
740 - fix a bug in the event logic that could cause the temrinal to be
741 black on initial startup.
742 - do NOT call XCloseIM, ever. This causes way to many crashes due to
743 races in the protocol and within Xlib.
744 - map iso-left-tab to the same sequence as shift-tab.
745 - generate a unique escape sequence for many unknown keys, such as
746 additional multimedia keys.
747 - mask out high (non-unicode) bits on wide characters, to cope with
748 implementations that store tag info in the high bits.
749
7504.6 Thu Dec 16 07:54:23 CET 2004
751 - try very hard not to exhaust the kernel tty buffers, even
752 if it slows down large pastes and is only cosmetic.
753 - streamline atom and xft color allocation to reduce startup
754 time (12.8s -> 7.8s on my dsl). Still, doing it with only 2-3
755 turnarounds would be much faster, but impossible to implement(?).
756 - implement underlineColor resource when ENABLE_FRILLS.
757 - iom left it's signal pipe handle open in the child
758 process. Fortunately not security-relevant as the pipe data gets
759 ignored.
760 - do not use XSETROOTPMAP_ID anymore, support ESETROOT_PMAP_ID
761 instead.
762 - fix a crash in rxvtd when the last window was being closed
763 (reported by hednod).
764 - fix an unlikely memory leak.
765 - fix atom name enumeration.
766
7674.5 Mon Dec 13 07:47:16 CET 2004
768 - fix an extremely nasty bug in utf8-conversion. upgrade is advised.
14 - completely re-wrote selection pasting. This should fix 769 - completely re-wrote selection pasting. This should fix garbled
15 garbled incomplete characters at 32k boundaries and too-short 770 incomplete characters at 32k boundaries and too-short INCR

772 for large selections, but that seems unavoidable.
