1TODO: harmonize --disable-options into position-dependent options. 1rxvt-unicode changelog <= google-friendly title
2TODO: after requesting the selection and getting a timeout, no further requests will be sent. 2
3TODO: safer command: keymap processing. 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
4TODO: "slow" rendering mode for bidi and scripts 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.
6TODO: http://www120.pair.com/mccarthy/nextstep/intro.htmld/Workspace.html is the correct nextstep look. 10TODO: slow drag selection on remote display - other things seem fast (rxvt illness, motion hints?)
7WISH: keymap modification via esc-sequences. 11TODO: better resource handling for tabbar in -pe tabbed.
8WISH: searchable backlog 12WISH: investigate -pe tabbed -g 80x25 being 23 not 24 or 25 lines
9WISH: meta-tagging of data by regex/master process (my dream project) 13 => when setting the constraints, the wm might (correctly)
10WISH: OnTheSpot editing, or maybe switch to miiiiiiif 14 resize the outer window, which might result in a smaller window overall.
11WISH: just for fun, do shade and tint with XRender. 15 or something like that. guys, send me a patch.
16WISH: coloured pastebin
17WISH: selection-color-pair instead of reverse video
18WISH: load system-wide config file even if we don't have one
19WISH: look into XAddConnectionWatch, does anybody need that?
20DUMB: support tex fonts

136.1 22TODO: /*TODO: the xlceararea/xfillrectangle below don't take scroll offste into account, ask mikachu for details */
23
24TODO: investgate wm resize race: while sleep 0.001; do printf "\033[?30l";sleep 0.001;printf "\033[?30h";done
25TODO: investigate miroslav patches
26TODO: artificially enlargen wide characters at end to correctly cut&paste.
27TODO: cursor over overlays, when focus change?
28 - remove bogus "setuid/setgid security issues" from rxvt.1.pod, they
29 no longer apply.
30 - the urgency hint is now cleared on both focus in and focus out.
31 - cache urgency hint locally to avoid server rtt on every focus change.
32 - perl 5.10 needs PERL_SYS_INIT3 on hppa.
33 - ignore byte-order marks and do not treat them like combining characters.
34 - fix build issue when CURSOR_BLINK is not defined (Emanuele Giaquinta).
35 - do some µ-optimisations to the character fast path.
36 - use a less cunning, but more robust algorithm to avoid one terminal
37 monopolising the whole process by outputting a lot of text.
38 - try to work around linux first breaking sched_yield and now breaking
39 the only known workaround.
40
419.05 Sun Jun 15 20:09:20 CEST 2008
42 - new option --cd/chdir to set the starting working directory.
43 - tabbed extension now starts in the "correct" working directory.
44 - work around fedora 9 providing isastream but not the relevant
45 header file for it (report by Tuncer Ayaz).
46 - upgrade libev, fixing a bug in the select backend
47 with more than 31 file descriptors on non-linux 64 bit systems.
48 - correctly reset the multibyte state to the initial one
49 after EILSEQ (patch by Neil Booth). This fixes the
50 issue of rxvt-unicode not properly displaying text after an illegal
51 sequence on NetBSD and probably other systems.
52 - more intelligent property handling with -pe tabbed, works around
53 broken window managers (kwm et al.), saves bandwidth and should
54 help working window managers as well.
55 - made tabs moveable (based on a patch by Petr Machata).
56 - implement ESC [ 3 K as a more rational alternative to ESC [ 0 K.
57 - support relative paths for RXVT_SOCKET in urxvtd.
58 - the tabbed extension now blindly copies over all (rxvt-) resources
59 from the toplevel window to the children.
60 - better diagnostic on 0x0 window geometries.
61 - update AnyEvent API to version 3.4 and above.
62 - document the default value of :0 for DISPLAY.
63 - rename perl method XChangeWindowProperty to XChangeProperty.
64
659.02 Tue Jan 29 11:58:36 CET 2008
66 - the "exg makes everybody happy" release.
67 - fix build with !xft.
68 - always compile in plain style scrollbar (simplifies code and looks great).
69
709.01 Sat Jan 26 20:49:27 CET 2008
71 - be more aggressive about handling X events, this seems to be required
72 with newer xlibs (should fix the "screen stays black until event is
73 received" problem, again :)
74 - add buffered resource to control xft double-buffering.
75
769.0 Fri Jan 25 19:34:04 CET 2008
77 - fix a crash bug where urxvtd would crash when urxvtc was called
78 with wrong arguments (I wish debian maintainers in general would
79 report bugs and their proposed fixes to the original package maintaienrs
80 instead of sitting on them for good measure to see if anybody notices).
81 - drawing xft compose characters was causing garbage to be drawn.
82 - correctly clear xft character background in all cases.
83 - implement bracketed paste mode (xterm private mode 2004).
84 - improve documentation on alpha channel handling, make urxvt
85 work better on servers lacking the RENDER extension when alpha
86 channels or background images are used.
87 - check for refresh after initialising to avoid staying blank
88 till the first event arrives. or so.
89 - the FORCE_UNBUFFERED_XFT feature macro works again.
90 - continuously update transparency while moving/resizing now.
91 - OSC 39/49 are deprecated and aliased to OSC 10/11.
92 - cub1 now acts as advertised (and ignores the "wrapped" state).
93 - the 132/80 mode switch now forces a height of 24, too, and
94 resets the terminal.
95 - scrollbar code cleanups.
96 - stopping children is no longer confused with children exiting.
97 - removed (undocumented) #aarrggbb format.
98 - updated to libev 3.0.
99
1008.9 Mon Dec 24 07:51:40 CET 2007
101 - fix the issue where urxvtd would not immediately close a window
102 when the command exited but only on the next X event.
103 - changed terminfo file not to use application keypad mode.
104 - fix the issue where making a selection in one urxvtd window
105 would not clear it visually in another.
106 - fix an issue of urxvt not getting background pixmap updates
107 and flickering after bg pixmap changes (reported by Mikachu).
108 - fix redraw bug in xterm scrollbar with -sr (reported by Mikachu).
109 - correctly provide dependencies for libev (µikachu).
110 - minor code reorganisations and cleanups.
111 - be more robust in case the urxvt-popup extension cannot be loaded.
112
1138.8 Sat Dec 15 19:40:39 CET 2007
114 - option -C was aliased to all unsupported options, activating
115 options that shouldn't be compiled in, leading to interesting
116 effects.
117 - updated libev, working around a bug in linux 2.4, curing the
118 symptom of urxvt not closing its window on shell exit. also
119 fixes a problem with urxvt not refreshing.
120 - the text blink callback was called even when no blinking
121 text was visible.
122 - pre-8.4 slipwheeling behaviour has been reinstated, with
123 some minor improvements.
124 - streamlined x events processing to only flush once per
125 display and not once per terminal window.
126 - quite a bit of minor code cleanups and codesize optimisations.
127
1288.7 Sun Nov 25 10:23:49 CET 2007
129 - update libev with an important bugfix that would cause crashes
130 when closing windows (when using rxvtd, and update is recommended).
131 - do not compile in the block builtin graphics with --disable-frills.
132
1338.6 Fri Nov 23 14:10:57 CET 2007
134 - upgrade libev to disable kqueue on anything but netbsd as it
135 seems to be broken everywhere else w.r.t. ptys.
136 - allow for spurious event notifications, as at least epoll and
137 especially solaris ports like to lie about them (symptoms:
138 urxvt "hangs" until there is some x11 related activity).
139 - -keysym command line options are now subjected to xlib parsing.
140 - add 'xrm' option analogous to Xt one.
141
1428.5a Wed Nov 21 10:16:33 CET 2007
143 - make it compile with --disable-transparency.
144
1458.5 Wed Nov 21 05:19:20 CET 2007
146 - expect major portability issues in this release: please test and report.
147 - converted from the veritable io manager event loop to
148 the high performance libev (http://software.schmorp.de/pkg/libev).
149 - minor tuning to the perl selection (include single words and more quoting chars).
150 - fix memory leak in pixmap code.
151 - fix a serious bug while setting the XIM destroy callback
152 on (typical) 64 bit systems.
153 - automove-background functionality re-implemented internaly using :root op in pixmap
154 geometry string. For example: rxvt -pixmap "image.jpg;:root"
155 - do not link rxvtc against every lib on the planet anymore.
156 - parallel builds should work once more.
157
1588.4 Sat Oct 27 14:02:13 CEST 2007
159 - overhaul of the transparency/pixmap code (sasha).
160 - fix possible race betwen visual bell and poweron.
161 (reported by Martin von Gagern, gentoo?).
162 - urxvt -e no longer crashes the child.
163 - fixed some minor memleaks on incorrect usage or
164 missing DISPLAY.
165 - implement xterm 1002/1003 mouse tracking modes (exg).
166 - source code organisational cleanups (exg).
167 - updated io_manager.
168
1698.3 Wed Aug 1 20:21:31 CEST 2007
170 - new option: skipScroll/-ss, enabled by default.
171 - go with the times and expect x11 library files in /usr/lib, not
172 /usr/X11R6/lib.
173 - initial transparency improvement/afterimage support
174 patch by Sasha Vasko.
175 - add urgentOnBell resource to set the urgency hint
176 (patch by Philip Paeps).
177 - do not process focus events caused by grabs
178 (patch by Mikachu).
179 - add iso14755_52 resource to disable iso14755 5.2 (exg).
180 - add binding for backspace in iso14755 5.1 to remove the last
181 digit (exg).
182 - better option handling, support more than 30 options (exg).
183 - nuke reconf script, serves no purpose anymore.
184 - fixed and documented matcher/on_user_command processing in matcher
185 extension (tpope).
186 - compile out of the box on Solaris 10 (exg).
187 - fix MappingNotify events (reported by Stephan Walter).
188 - zero-initialise mwmhints, this seems to solve all sorts of minor
189 problems.
190
1918.2 Sat Feb 17 21:35:28 CET 2007
192 - fix make depend in src/, reported by exg.
193 - fixed typo in urxvt::GET_CUSTOM, causing the result to be wrong.
194 (patch by Sergey Vlasov).
195 - unbundled iom perl interface somewhat.
196 - scrollbar-xterm now uses the selected scrollColor instead of fg
197 (found by Aiviru).
198 - disabled linux kernel bug workaround again: disabling it gives
199 a 50% speed hit on affected machines, while enabling it gives
200 a similar speed hit to screen, which is likely the more common
201 case to work around for :/
202 - urxvt::rend2mask perl function, and utilization of it by matcher
203 (patch by Moshe Kamensky).
204 - use perl:matcher on a keysym to open most recently displayed URL.
205 - with matcher, when multiple patterns match, last wins, not first.
206 - fix make and make install with srcdir != builddir (exg).
207 - updated bundled libptytty to fix a bug where the tty would be kept
208 open (see the libptytty ChangeLog for details).
209 - delay setting the IUTF8 flag to after the tty settings have been
210 set so its value does not get lost (reported and analysed by Andrei
211 Paskevich).
212 - rip out support for obsolete sgtty.h interface.
213 - rip out support for non-POSIX termios variants.
214 - update libptytty.
215 - update iom.C, make it call ptytty::sanitise_stdfd on init.
216 - when !XFT, change rounding of colours to use a less correct formula to
217 meet user expectancies (#aaa becomes #a000a000a000 not #9f9f9f9f9f9f).
218 - change the starting offset of the pixmap set with backgroundPixmap
219 from (50,50) to (0,0) (exg).
220 - fix a typo in button_release, now meta-button2 request the value of
221 the Clipboard selection as it should (patch by Serge Koksharov).
222 - fix a bug in drawing a cell with a nonspacing char when using an xft
223 font with inheritPixmap and tintColor (exg).
224
2258.1 Thu Dec 7 22:27:25 CET 2006
226 - ケリスマスプレゼント - zomg!!1, it's too early!!!
227 - fix the assumption that chars < 256 are single-width. Now
228 only assume this for codepoints 32 to 126 (reported by Dai.H.).
229 - $term->strwidth returned wide chars as width 1, because some jerk
230 confused min and max. Fixing this also fixes xim-onthespot.
231 Reported by Takano Akio.
232 - secondaryScroll is now enabled by default (as per the manpage),
233 reported by exg.
234 - correct the description of [percent]color rgba format in the manpage.
235 - incorporated macosx-clipboard extension by Samuel Ljungkvist.
236 - ignore (some) useless focus events (reported by mmc).
237 - updated compose table to unicode 5.0.0.
238
2398.0 Thu Nov 2 18:35:19 CET 2006
240 - combining characters cleared the area instead of creating an overlay,
241 thus losing the ability to draw combining characters properly in most
242 circumstances (reported by exg).
243 - specified fonts were incorrectly morphed to bold/italic according to the
244 basefont, even if explicitly specified (tracked down by tpope).
245 - fixed urxvt::strwidth to calculate width in the same way as screen.C.
246 - fix a crash caused by passing negative widths to overlay functions.
247 - added 'matcher' extension by tpope, replacing the mark-urls extension.
248 - improve url regex to match anything www.* (tpope).
249 - fixed bug with outline cursor color being wrong after xft fonts.
250 - update to libptytty-1.0.
251 - give proper diagnostic when RXVT_SOCKET is too long instead of
252 corrupting the stack (patch by exg).
253 - display current terminal locale in option menu.
254 - urxvtd no longer crashes when the client sends an inaccessible
255 working directory (reported by Roland Baer, possibly fixes gentoo
256 bug #143985).
257 - fixed many minor issues reported by Roland Baer.
258 - Leonid Khramov spotted a minor glitch in rxvtfont.C that
259 should not have any consequences, but was buggy nonetheless.
260 - manpage fix by exg.
261
2627.9 Mon Aug 7 18:16:07 CEST 2006
263 - fix the crashing bug people encountered with 7.8 + urxvtd + perl
264 + transparency. Ought to fix debian bug #380348.
265 - fix urxvtc.1.pod: it actually claimed -pty-fd would not work. But
266 it does! :->
267 - rxvt_fatal() in case the locale string is too long for our static buffer.
268 - fixed many, many, typos in the manpages (patch supplied by ves).
269
2707.8 Mon Jul 17 21:00:46 CEST 2006
271 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: this version will always read ~/.Xdefaults,
272 earlier versions only read it if display-resources (usually from
273 .Xresources) are not set. This avoids the #1 FAQ ("why isn't my
274 resource used") and seems to be logical behaviour, too. .Xdefaults
275 resources have a lower priority than display-specific resources.
276 - add "kuake" perl extension that does a similar thing to the kuake
277 terminal emulator (see man urxtvperl).
278 - use less "correct" color scaling that is compatible with libX11 and
279 Xft (avoids off-by-one colors resulting in striped backgrounds).
280 - the "depth" resource is now respected.
281 - preset the searchable-scrollback pattern with "(?i)" to default search
282 to case-insensitivity. Will automatically be cleared when typing an
283 uppercase character.
284 - add FORCE_UNBUFFERED_XFT define to features.h.
285 - re-enabled highlightcolor support with --enable-frills, based on
286 a patch by Martin Stubenschrott.
287 - double-buffered xft drawing did suffer from pixel offset issues
288 when pixmap transparency was enabled.
289 - strategically add # to the url-match regexes, as we really want to
290 match common URIs not common URLs. Reported by Aaron Griffin.
291 - moved on_osc_seq to on_osc_seq_perl and added a more
292 generic osc_seq.
293 - fix a bug causing double callback invocations when perl hooks
294 were invoked recursively.
295 - the automove-background extension now properly works when the
296 pixmap gets reset with an osc sequence (sqweek).
297 - selection-pastebin did not work properly with non-latin1-characters.
298 - apply colorUL only when the text colour is the default fg
299 (patch by Wu Fengguang).
300 - removed rxvtlib.h from the tarball, it had no reason to be there
301 (spotted by Decklin Foster).
302 - fix compiling with TRANSPARENT but !XPM_BACKGROUND, as reported
303 by omatunto_.
304 - slap in a using namespace std, might help on platforms that don't
305 follow C++ closely enough.
306 - fix mailto url regex, spotted within milliseconds by Jost Krieger.
307 - applied fade_color_update_func.patch by WU Fengguang.
308 - fix a bug where (due to an optimisation in av_delete), hiding the
309 bottom-most overlay would hide two overlays.
310
3117.7 Tue Feb 21 12:32:49 CET 2006
312 - use double-buffered drawing (xft fonts only). On many driver/hardware
313 combination this actually increases xft drawing speed, at the expense
314 of more network bandwidth and slight nausea on the side of the author.
315 - readline perl extension now requires shift-click instead of a normal
316 click, and eats the click.
317 - tabbed perl extension now supports -e.
318 - disabled graphics-exposures on the main drawing GC, report any
319 refresh bugs please.
320 - improve property handling for -pe tabbed: avoid unnecessary property
321 changes (for kde's benefit) at the expense of extra round-trips,
322 improve size hint setting.
323 - modified XIM according to a patch sent by Takano Akio that sets
324 the preedit rectangle for OverTheSpot, which helps some input methods
325 to correctly position their preedit window.
326 - un-optimise the line clearing on newly scrolled-in lines a bit: the
327 former reasoning was that any fg colour on default bg looks the same
328 in empty spaces, but thats not true when reversing (e.g. selection),
329 so also check for matching fg colours. This fixes the problem where
330 selecting newly scrolled-in lines would exhibit wrong colours.
331 - fix a bug in the perl interface causing focus in events to generate
332 focus out perl events, causing bad focus effects with -pe tabbed.
333 - fix a race resulting in a crash on exiting.
334 - fix a with --disable-xft that caused xfreecolors to be called on
335 colors never allocated, resulting in aborts (reported by Paco-Paco).
336 - resources on non-initial screens weren't refetched correctly
337 (reported by Paco-Paco).
338 - fix a bug in xcopyarea pass and _disable_ it, as it seems not to be
339 working in either rxvt-unicode nor in the original rxvt.
340 - removed undocumented -exec alias for the -e option.
341
3427.6 Fri Feb 10 08:52:36 CET 2006
343 - changed interpretation of [alpha] colour prefix.
344 - +option now really sets the option to default, instead of using the
345 resource value.
346 - options that require an argument now really _require_ an argument.
347 - the tabbed extension now forwards focus and keys events to th
348 relevant tab window.
349 - tab colours are now configurable and have sensible defaults
350 (initial patch by hednod).
351 - option menu is extendable, readline, selection and
352 selection-autotransform can now be disabled/enabled at runtime.
353 - forcing a configure event to tabbed subwindows with -pe tabbed, for
354 the benefit of automove-background.
355 - the automove-background extension added a wrong constant offset.
356 - force refresh of XA_RESOURCE_STRING on virtual reconnect.
357 - return exit status 2 in urxvtc when urxvtd couldn't be contacted.
358 - the linux yield hack is back, now using usleep, and enabled only on
359 __linux__.
360 - further round trip eliminations in the !XFT case by remembering
361 the colour components.
362 - plain scrollbar works better with -sr.
363 - fixed half-shadow scrollbar look.
364 - more colour rtt optimisations.
365 - properly(?) free colours on window close.
366 - reorganised the FAQ into multiple sections.
367 - add ISO646.1991-IRV to the list of supported codesets.
368 - minor libptytty update.
369
3707.5 Tue Jan 31 15:15:43 CET 2006
371 - further improvements to the careful mode detection, and font width
372 detection:
373 - fully double-wide fonts will now be correctly treated,
374 - overlap detection was improved.
375 - detect totally broken fonts (usually synthesized by xft).
376 - careful mode forced refresh sometimes clashed with blinking,
377 causing unnecessary screen redraws.
378 - better handling of XFT combining characters.
379 - enable antialiasing for some replacement fonts, as they
380 might get used for other encodings which really need it, later.
381 - remove spacing=100 from all default fonts, as this creates totally
382 weird spacing (5 times normal) with xft.
383 - removed iso10646 fallback, as xorgs iso10646 encoded fonts are mostly
384 broken.
385 - removed gnu unifont fallback, all combining characters are broken.
386 - replace named colours by xorg's rgb.txt equivalents, to
387 reduce round trip time on startup, and short-cut allocation
388 of rgb:rr/gg/bb for xft.
389 - short-cut allocation of rgb values in the xlib case
390 (patch by Paco-Paco).
391 - overhauled color management: smaller codesize, alpha support.
392 - support "rgba:rrrr/gggg/bbbb/aaaa" color specifications and
393 an "[alpha]" prefix.
394 - try to work around Xft and Xrender forcing everything to be 100%
395 transparent. Long Live Xft!
396 - do not include X11/Intrinsic.h anymore, directly use
397 Xlib/Xutil/Xresource directly.
398 - try to find a nearest matching color when color allocation fails
399 on a pseudocolor screen.
400 - SYNCCVS: compared to rxvt-cvs 2006-01-28, no relevant changes.
401 - fix version report (DA) (which was unfortunately broken).
402 - changed version number report again, now to emulate xterm closer.
403 - added the OSC sequence 702 to detect the urxvt version number.
404 - small configure updates.
405 - further RTT optimisations.
406 - backported clean-up patches for makefiles and documentation from
407 the debian package.
408 - updated doc/rxvt-unicode.spec file. It's still not maintained here,
409 but much newer than the old one.
410
4117.4 Sat Jan 28 15:26:27 CET 2006
412 - screen background wasn't always erased properly when scrolling,
413 - re-enabled clearing optimisation disabled in 7.4pre.
414 - small configure updates for libptytty.
415 - fixed version options: line output.
416 - removed stoopid debugging message left in the code.
417
4187.3 Wed Jan 25 22:47:35 CET 2006
419 - don't let iso14755 or mouse reporting get into the way of perl
420 (could lead to global grabs never being cleared).
421 - experimental OnTheSpot editing support (-pe xim-onthespot).
422 - moved Shift-Button2 paste combination to Meta-Button2.
423 - the cutchars resource will now be respected and used by the
424 selection extension.
425 - added the "remote-clipboard" extension which just runs external
426 commands to fetch and store the selection data.
427 - added -depth switch that tries to get a different visual depth
428 than the default (replaces the old PREFER_24_BIT logic).
429 - removed (unused) arabic presentation form composing sequences.
430 - be more strict when deciding that a core font glyph is too wide and
431 needs the careful rendering mode.
432 - allow more leeway for italic fonts when deciding that a character is
433 too wide and needs careful mode.
434 - redraw even more characters around characters using careful mode.
435 - made selection-pastebin fully asynchronous.
436 - reduced number of server turnarounds at startup by allocating
437 atoms only once per display.
438 - renamed on_keyboard_command to on_user_command.
439 - changed version sos (ESC [ > c) response to be more compatible with
440 xterm.
441
4427.2 Sun Jan 22 21:58:16 CET 2006
443 - bugfix: urxvt (not urxvtd) did not correctly handle multiple
444 environments necessary, which resulted in segfaults within
445 getenv (reproducable: urxvt -fn 9x15, open a menu once,
446 ctrl-shift-672c).
447 - bugfix: the selection speedup in in 7.1 unfortunately caused
448 non-ascii characters to enlarge/move the selection.
449 - bugfix: resizing sometimes leaked lines from the secondary to
450 the primary screen.
451 - bugfix: reducing window size while large amounts of text were output
452 could lead to an assertion failure.
453 - added "tabbed" extension that provides a crude tabbed terminal.
454 - added "readline" extension that allows cursor positioning
455 via mouse clicks.
456 - now it is possible to insert the value of the CLIPBOARD selection
457 with shift - mouse button 2.
458 - fixed the automove-background extension to ignore coordinates
459 in non-synthetic events.
460 - created a separate libpty for portable and secure
461 pty/tty/utmp/wtmp/lastlog handling, and include it in rxvt-unicode.
462 - the non-terminfo visual bell now works asynchronously, so
463 continuous ASCI BELs in one terminal do no longer monopolise the
464 whole urxvt[d] process.
465 - support some *BSD makes (for the time being, gnu make is a safe bet).
466 - work around bugs in FreeBSD's gcc.
467 - implemented some *BSD fixes in configure.
468 - removed support for obsolete offix dnd protocol.
469
4707.1 Thu Jan 19 20:25:34 CET 2006
471 - setuid/setgid operation is now _encouraged_: security has been
472 improved by moving privileged operations into a separate process
473 and permanently dropping privileges within the terminal. This
474 makes it possible to remove security checks from the perl code
475 and gives a much safer feeling when urxvt needs to run with
476 special privileges.
477 - perl taint checking disabled, as urxvt no longer runs setuid/setgid
478 itself.
479 - new perl extension automove-background that can be used to get
480 the same effect as pseudo-transparency with any pixmap.
481 - new perl extension example: perl/selection-pastebin, can be used to
482 e.g. upload the selection to a webserver and generate a url, or
483 similar stuff.
484 - use the scrollback buffer even when the scroll region doesn't
485 span the whole screen, as long as it starts at row 0. Helps
486 for programs displaying a status line at the bottom.
487 - selection popup now shows selection in dec/hex/oct.
488 - perl/selection: matching on unicode characters in the selection
489 code was O(n²), which equals infinity in some degenerate cases
490 :-> Matching is now done on UTF-8, which makes it almost instant.
491 - perl/selection, perl/selection-autotransform: regexes are now
492 being interpreted in the locale urxvt was started.
493 - implemented override-redirect option and enabled it on menus,
494 as kwin puts our windows behind the terminal (what a shoddy wm).
495 - fixed struct utmp check in configure for OpenBSD.
496 - complete overhaul of the pty/utmp management stuff and configure
497 (Emanuele Giaquinta).
498 - add tsl/fsl and related capabilities to the terminfo description,
499 to set the window title.
500 - swap the environment in some more cases. This hopefully fixes
501 some segfaults that might be caused by xft asking for env variables
502 at the wrong time.
503 - removed src/strings.C and src/menubar.C. No menubar support
504 anymore.
505 - removed all traces of SMOOTH_REFRESH.
506 - nuked QNX support.
507 - made some fixes to xpm offset and scaling code.
508 - perl-overlays and refresh hooks were not applied in correct order.
509 - changed coordinate-system of view_start/nsaved to be top to bottom.
510 - iom extended to support listening for child exits.
511
5127.0 Fri Jan 13 14:02:18 CET 2006
513 - added sections for DISTRIBUTION MAINTAINERS and about
514 SETUID/SETGID to the FAQ.
515 - selection, searchable-scrollback, selection-popup and
516 option-popup extensions enabled by default.
517 - increased xft drawing speed for problematic fonts. The effect
518 will likely be small as 99% of the xft slowness is server-related.
519 - perl: much increased functionality, better overlays, popup support
520 and much much more.
521 - perl: urxvt::line now can set via ->t and ->r.
522 - perl: changed interpretation of --perl-ext-common and -pe.
523 - perl: finally implemented --perl-eval.
524 - perl: non-blocking anyevent support.
525 - perl: run tainted and ignore perl-eval/perl-lib if started
526 setuid/setgid.
527 - free the resource database: this plugs a massive memory leak. As a
528 side effect, it also gets rid of XGetDefault calls.
529 - free one of the cursors, fixes a small memory leak.
530 - built-in (as opposed to terminfos) visual bell was broken/too fast.
531 - applied minor cleanups by Ladislav Michnovic.
532 - applied pty handling cleanups and improvements (Emanuele Giaquinta).
533 - mark-urls launch-on-click by jepler.
534 - removed "small" resource parsing function, as it wasn't really
535 compatible, and not really small either.
536 - removed PATH_ENV and PATH file search support.
537 - removed support for locale-specific app-defaults file.
538 - fixed a bug where out-of-bounds colour sequences could lead
539 to crashes.
540 - limit colour changing to the standard 88 palette instead of all
541 colours.
542 - XTerm_Color01 sequence returned wrong results in query mode.
543 - iom.C now checks against destructed io_manager when unregistering.
544
5456.3 Wed Jan 4 22:37:10 CET 2006
546 - SECURITY FIX: on systems using openpty, permissions were
547 not correctly updated on the tty device and were left as
548 world-readable and world-writable (likely in original rxvt,
549 too), and were not restored properly. Affected are only
550 systems where non-unix ptys were used (such as most BSDs, not
551 GNU/Linux). (found, patched and debugged by Ryan Beasley).
552 - meta8 support was forcefully enabled in most configurations.
553 restored configurability of this (useless) feature (reported
554 by Mikachu).
555 - optionally embed a perl interpreter, which can be used for more
556 intelligent/customized selection support, visual feedback,
557 menus, tabs etc. See the the urxvtperl manpage, the -pe option,
558 perl*-resources and keysym resources. Not everything is there yet.
559 - try to be more clever about differing font sizes and their ascent.
560 Not guarenteed to work, but works better in most cases now.
561 - fix directory permissions on install.
562 - implemented option to disable built-in line drawing characters
563 and fall back to the font ones (patch by Martin Pohlack).
564 - disabled sched_yield support: the linux version is just too useless
565 (it schedules nice'd processes before the own one for extended
566 periods). Too bad, it could reduce system time by a factor of 5 here.
567
5686.2 Mon Jan 2 16:03:01 CET 2006
569 - implemented intensityStyles option which enables/disables bold/blink
570 selecting high intensity foreground/background colours, suggested by
571 Chuck Blake.
572 - move iso14755 character feedback box out of the way if it would
573 obscure the mouse cursor position.
574 - replaced callback.h by a fixed version from gvpe that correctly
575 returns the callback result (affects new -pty-fd semantics in urxvtc
576 on a few architectures). Reported by darix.
577 - include one trailing space in rectangular selections to indicate
578 the inserted newline (yeah, weird, but visually more pleasing).
579 - try to use sched_yield to (drastically) improve terminal data
580 transfer efficiency.
581 - further minor cleanups.
582
5836.1 Tue Dec 27 13:23:40 CET 2005
584 - update iso8859-7 table (euro and drachma round-trip et al.).
14 - fix a crash when the selection scrolls out of the scrollback 585 - fix a crash when the selection scrolls out of the scrollback
15 while the user still drags. 586 while the user still drags.
587 - selections that were partially scrolled out of the window were
588 not drawn correctly.
589 - lines newly scrolled in were not initialized properly, leading
590 to extremely long lines and (hopefully) some segfaults.
591 - iso14755 overlay position was wrong.
592 - iso14755 overlay now displays rendition info, too.
593 - use unicode white space class instead of hardcoded values for
594 stripping whitespace.
595 - do whitespace stripping on rectangular selections.
596 - slight cleanups in src/features.h.
