3TODO: harmonize --disable-options into position-dependent options. 3TODO: init_secondary serves what purpose? maybe move it to earlier startup phase and re-think
4TODO: after requesting the selection and getting a timeout, no further requests will be sent. 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
5TODO: "slow" rendering mode for bidi and scripts 8TODO: "slow" rendering mode for bidi and scripts, pango!
6TODO: read property sequence is broken with respect to utf-8 etc. 9TODO: read property sequence is broken with respect to utf-8 etc.
7TODO: 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?)
8WISH: OnTheSpot editing, or maybe switch to miiiiiiif 11TODO: better resource handling for tabbar in -pe tabbed.
9WISH: just for fun, do shade and tint with XRender. 12WISH: investigate -pe tabbed -g 80x25 being 23 not 24 or 25 lines
10WISH: make builtin character glyphs optional 13 => when setting the constraints, the wm might (correctly)
14 resize the outer window, which might result in a smaller window overall.
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

12 - SECURITY FIX: on systems using openpty (most BSDs, not GNU/Linux), 22TODO: /*TODO: the xlceararea/xfillrectangle below don't take scroll offste into account, ask mikachu for details */
23
24TODO: cursor over overlays, when focus change?
25TODO: tput reset, reset more stuff/mouse reporting
26 - the aterm code now frees the as visual and image manager objects
27 when a window was closed.
28 - do not (wrongly) adjust the virtual line length inside
29 scr_insdel_chars/ERASE (Miroslav Lichvar).
30 - fix an issue where wide tab characters caused character shifts
31 when part of them was deleted (tracked down by Miroslav Lichvar).
32 - artificially enlargen the previous character at the end of a line
33 when trying to output a character that doesn't fit. looks ugly, but
34 makes copy&paste work.
35 - remove bogus "setuid/setgid security issues" from rxvt.1.pod, they
36 no longer apply.
37 - the urgency hint is now cleared on both focus in and focus out.
38 - cache urgency hint locally to avoid server rtt on every focus change.
39 - perl 5.10 needs PERL_SYS_INIT3 on hppa.
40 - ignore byte-order marks and do not treat them like combining characters.
41 - fix build issue when CURSOR_BLINK is not defined (Emanuele Giaquinta).
42 - do some µ-optimisations to the character fast path.
43 - use a less cunning, but more robust algorithm to avoid one terminal
44 monopolising the whole process by outputting a lot of text.
45 - try to work around linux first breaking sched_yield and now breaking
46 the only known workaround.
47 - new option -icon to set _NET_WM_ICON (based on patch by Frank Schmitt).
48 - initialise the as visual only on demand, instead of unconditionally,
49 to save memory in the common case of not using visual gimmicks.
50 - try to work around a race between urxvt and wm's on programmatic
51 resizes by temporarily disabling size hints.
52 - implement the DECSTR soft reset sequence and use it for tput init,
53 and make hard RIS and DECSTR both reset more private modes, such
54 as mouse reporting.
55 - redundantly clear mouse reporting and a few other states in
56 tput init/tput reset, for older urxvts.
57 - no longer clear the screen in tput init.
58
599.05 Sun Jun 15 20:09:20 CEST 2008
60 - new option --cd/chdir to set the starting working directory.
61 - tabbed extension now starts in the "correct" working directory.
62 - work around fedora 9 providing isastream but not the relevant
63 header file for it (report by Tuncer Ayaz).
64 - upgrade libev, fixing a bug in the select backend
65 with more than 31 file descriptors on non-linux 64 bit systems.
66 - correctly reset the multibyte state to the initial one
67 after EILSEQ (patch by Neil Booth). This fixes the
68 issue of rxvt-unicode not properly displaying text after an illegal
69 sequence on NetBSD and probably other systems.
70 - more intelligent property handling with -pe tabbed, works around
71 broken window managers (kwm et al.), saves bandwidth and should
72 help working window managers as well.
73 - made tabs moveable (based on a patch by Petr Machata).
74 - implement ESC [ 3 K as a more rational alternative to ESC [ 0 K.
75 - support relative paths for RXVT_SOCKET in urxvtd.
76 - the tabbed extension now blindly copies over all (rxvt-) resources
77 from the toplevel window to the children.
78 - better diagnostic on 0x0 window geometries.
79 - update AnyEvent API to version 3.4 and above.
80 - document the default value of :0 for DISPLAY.
81 - rename perl method XChangeWindowProperty to XChangeProperty.
82
839.02 Tue Jan 29 11:58:36 CET 2008
84 - the "exg makes everybody happy" release.
85 - fix build with !xft.
86 - always compile in plain style scrollbar (simplifies code and looks great).
87
889.01 Sat Jan 26 20:49:27 CET 2008
89 - be more aggressive about handling X events, this seems to be required
90 with newer xlibs (should fix the "screen stays black until event is
91 received" problem, again :)
92 - add buffered resource to control xft double-buffering.
93
949.0 Fri Jan 25 19:34:04 CET 2008
95 - fix a crash bug where urxvtd would crash when urxvtc was called
96 with wrong arguments (I wish debian maintainers in general would
97 report bugs and their proposed fixes to the original package maintaienrs
98 instead of sitting on them for good measure to see if anybody notices).
99 - drawing xft compose characters was causing garbage to be drawn.
100 - correctly clear xft character background in all cases.
101 - implement bracketed paste mode (xterm private mode 2004).
102 - improve documentation on alpha channel handling, make urxvt
103 work better on servers lacking the RENDER extension when alpha
104 channels or background images are used.
105 - check for refresh after initialising to avoid staying blank
106 till the first event arrives. or so.
107 - the FORCE_UNBUFFERED_XFT feature macro works again.
108 - continuously update transparency while moving/resizing now.
109 - OSC 39/49 are deprecated and aliased to OSC 10/11.
110 - cub1 now acts as advertised (and ignores the "wrapped" state).
111 - the 132/80 mode switch now forces a height of 24, too, and
112 resets the terminal.
113 - scrollbar code cleanups.
114 - stopping children is no longer confused with children exiting.
115 - removed (undocumented) #aarrggbb format.
116 - updated to libev 3.0.
117
1188.9 Mon Dec 24 07:51:40 CET 2007
119 - fix the issue where urxvtd would not immediately close a window
120 when the command exited but only on the next X event.
121 - changed terminfo file not to use application keypad mode.
122 - fix the issue where making a selection in one urxvtd window
123 would not clear it visually in another.
124 - fix an issue of urxvt not getting background pixmap updates
125 and flickering after bg pixmap changes (reported by Mikachu).
126 - fix redraw bug in xterm scrollbar with -sr (reported by Mikachu).
127 - correctly provide dependencies for libev (µikachu).
128 - minor code reorganisations and cleanups.
129 - be more robust in case the urxvt-popup extension cannot be loaded.
130
1318.8 Sat Dec 15 19:40:39 CET 2007
132 - option -C was aliased to all unsupported options, activating
133 options that shouldn't be compiled in, leading to interesting
134 effects.
135 - updated libev, working around a bug in linux 2.4, curing the
136 symptom of urxvt not closing its window on shell exit. also
137 fixes a problem with urxvt not refreshing.
138 - the text blink callback was called even when no blinking
139 text was visible.
140 - pre-8.4 slipwheeling behaviour has been reinstated, with
141 some minor improvements.
142 - streamlined x events processing to only flush once per
143 display and not once per terminal window.
144 - quite a bit of minor code cleanups and codesize optimisations.
145
1468.7 Sun Nov 25 10:23:49 CET 2007
147 - update libev with an important bugfix that would cause crashes
148 when closing windows (when using rxvtd, and update is recommended).
149 - do not compile in the block builtin graphics with --disable-frills.
150
1518.6 Fri Nov 23 14:10:57 CET 2007
152 - upgrade libev to disable kqueue on anything but netbsd as it
153 seems to be broken everywhere else w.r.t. ptys.
154 - allow for spurious event notifications, as at least epoll and
155 especially solaris ports like to lie about them (symptoms:
156 urxvt "hangs" until there is some x11 related activity).
157 - -keysym command line options are now subjected to xlib parsing.
158 - add 'xrm' option analogous to Xt one.
159
1608.5a Wed Nov 21 10:16:33 CET 2007
161 - make it compile with --disable-transparency.
162
1638.5 Wed Nov 21 05:19:20 CET 2007
164 - expect major portability issues in this release: please test and report.
165 - converted from the veritable io manager event loop to
166 the high performance libev (http://software.schmorp.de/pkg/libev).
167 - minor tuning to the perl selection (include single words and more quoting chars).
168 - fix memory leak in pixmap code.
169 - fix a serious bug while setting the XIM destroy callback
170 on (typical) 64 bit systems.
171 - automove-background functionality re-implemented internaly using :root op in pixmap
172 geometry string. For example: rxvt -pixmap "image.jpg;:root"
173 - do not link rxvtc against every lib on the planet anymore.
174 - parallel builds should work once more.
175
1768.4 Sat Oct 27 14:02:13 CEST 2007
177 - overhaul of the transparency/pixmap code (sasha).
178 - fix possible race betwen visual bell and poweron.
179 (reported by Martin von Gagern, gentoo?).
180 - urxvt -e no longer crashes the child.
181 - fixed some minor memleaks on incorrect usage or
182 missing DISPLAY.
183 - implement xterm 1002/1003 mouse tracking modes (exg).
184 - source code organisational cleanups (exg).
185 - updated io_manager.
186
1878.3 Wed Aug 1 20:21:31 CEST 2007
188 - new option: skipScroll/-ss, enabled by default.
189 - go with the times and expect x11 library files in /usr/lib, not
190 /usr/X11R6/lib.
191 - initial transparency improvement/afterimage support
192 patch by Sasha Vasko.
193 - add urgentOnBell resource to set the urgency hint
194 (patch by Philip Paeps).
195 - do not process focus events caused by grabs
196 (patch by Mikachu).
197 - add iso14755_52 resource to disable iso14755 5.2 (exg).
198 - add binding for backspace in iso14755 5.1 to remove the last
199 digit (exg).
200 - better option handling, support more than 30 options (exg).
201 - nuke reconf script, serves no purpose anymore.
202 - fixed and documented matcher/on_user_command processing in matcher
203 extension (tpope).
204 - compile out of the box on Solaris 10 (exg).
205 - fix MappingNotify events (reported by Stephan Walter).
206 - zero-initialise mwmhints, this seems to solve all sorts of minor
207 problems.
208
2098.2 Sat Feb 17 21:35:28 CET 2007
210 - fix make depend in src/, reported by exg.
211 - fixed typo in urxvt::GET_CUSTOM, causing the result to be wrong.
212 (patch by Sergey Vlasov).
213 - unbundled iom perl interface somewhat.
214 - scrollbar-xterm now uses the selected scrollColor instead of fg
215 (found by Aiviru).
216 - disabled linux kernel bug workaround again: disabling it gives
217 a 50% speed hit on affected machines, while enabling it gives
218 a similar speed hit to screen, which is likely the more common
219 case to work around for :/
220 - urxvt::rend2mask perl function, and utilization of it by matcher
221 (patch by Moshe Kamensky).
222 - use perl:matcher on a keysym to open most recently displayed URL.
223 - with matcher, when multiple patterns match, last wins, not first.
224 - fix make and make install with srcdir != builddir (exg).
225 - updated bundled libptytty to fix a bug where the tty would be kept
226 open (see the libptytty ChangeLog for details).
227 - delay setting the IUTF8 flag to after the tty settings have been
228 set so its value does not get lost (reported and analysed by Andrei
229 Paskevich).
230 - rip out support for obsolete sgtty.h interface.
231 - rip out support for non-POSIX termios variants.
232 - update libptytty.
233 - update iom.C, make it call ptytty::sanitise_stdfd on init.
234 - when !XFT, change rounding of colours to use a less correct formula to
235 meet user expectancies (#aaa becomes #a000a000a000 not #9f9f9f9f9f9f).
236 - change the starting offset of the pixmap set with backgroundPixmap
237 from (50,50) to (0,0) (exg).
238 - fix a typo in button_release, now meta-button2 request the value of
239 the Clipboard selection as it should (patch by Serge Koksharov).
240 - fix a bug in drawing a cell with a nonspacing char when using an xft
241 font with inheritPixmap and tintColor (exg).
242
2438.1 Thu Dec 7 22:27:25 CET 2006
244 - ケリスマスプレゼント - zomg!!1, it's too early!!!
245 - fix the assumption that chars < 256 are single-width. Now
246 only assume this for codepoints 32 to 126 (reported by Dai.H.).
247 - $term->strwidth returned wide chars as width 1, because some jerk
248 confused min and max. Fixing this also fixes xim-onthespot.
249 Reported by Takano Akio.
250 - secondaryScroll is now enabled by default (as per the manpage),
251 reported by exg.
252 - correct the description of [percent]color rgba format in the manpage.
253 - incorporated macosx-clipboard extension by Samuel Ljungkvist.
254 - ignore (some) useless focus events (reported by mmc).
255 - updated compose table to unicode 5.0.0.
256
2578.0 Thu Nov 2 18:35:19 CET 2006
258 - combining characters cleared the area instead of creating an overlay,
259 thus losing the ability to draw combining characters properly in most
260 circumstances (reported by exg).
261 - specified fonts were incorrectly morphed to bold/italic according to the
262 basefont, even if explicitly specified (tracked down by tpope).
263 - fixed urxvt::strwidth to calculate width in the same way as screen.C.
264 - fix a crash caused by passing negative widths to overlay functions.
265 - added 'matcher' extension by tpope, replacing the mark-urls extension.
266 - improve url regex to match anything www.* (tpope).
267 - fixed bug with outline cursor color being wrong after xft fonts.
268 - update to libptytty-1.0.
269 - give proper diagnostic when RXVT_SOCKET is too long instead of
270 corrupting the stack (patch by exg).
271 - display current terminal locale in option menu.
272 - urxvtd no longer crashes when the client sends an inaccessible
273 working directory (reported by Roland Baer, possibly fixes gentoo
274 bug #143985).
275 - fixed many minor issues reported by Roland Baer.
276 - Leonid Khramov spotted a minor glitch in rxvtfont.C that
277 should not have any consequences, but was buggy nonetheless.
278 - manpage fix by exg.
279
2807.9 Mon Aug 7 18:16:07 CEST 2006
281 - fix the crashing bug people encountered with 7.8 + urxvtd + perl
282 + transparency. Ought to fix debian bug #380348.
283 - fix urxvtc.1.pod: it actually claimed -pty-fd would not work. But
284 it does! :->
285 - rxvt_fatal() in case the locale string is too long for our static buffer.
286 - fixed many, many, typos in the manpages (patch supplied by ves).
287
2887.8 Mon Jul 17 21:00:46 CEST 2006
289 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: this version will always read ~/.Xdefaults,
290 earlier versions only read it if display-resources (usually from
291 .Xresources) are not set. This avoids the #1 FAQ ("why isn't my
292 resource used") and seems to be logical behaviour, too. .Xdefaults
293 resources have a lower priority than display-specific resources.
294 - add "kuake" perl extension that does a similar thing to the kuake
295 terminal emulator (see man urxtvperl).
296 - use less "correct" color scaling that is compatible with libX11 and
297 Xft (avoids off-by-one colors resulting in striped backgrounds).
298 - the "depth" resource is now respected.
299 - preset the searchable-scrollback pattern with "(?i)" to default search
300 to case-insensitivity. Will automatically be cleared when typing an
301 uppercase character.
302 - add FORCE_UNBUFFERED_XFT define to features.h.
303 - re-enabled highlightcolor support with --enable-frills, based on
304 a patch by Martin Stubenschrott.
305 - double-buffered xft drawing did suffer from pixel offset issues
306 when pixmap transparency was enabled.
307 - strategically add # to the url-match regexes, as we really want to
308 match common URIs not common URLs. Reported by Aaron Griffin.
309 - moved on_osc_seq to on_osc_seq_perl and added a more
310 generic osc_seq.
311 - fix a bug causing double callback invocations when perl hooks
312 were invoked recursively.
313 - the automove-background extension now properly works when the
314 pixmap gets reset with an osc sequence (sqweek).
315 - selection-pastebin did not work properly with non-latin1-characters.
316 - apply colorUL only when the text colour is the default fg
317 (patch by Wu Fengguang).
318 - removed rxvtlib.h from the tarball, it had no reason to be there
319 (spotted by Decklin Foster).
320 - fix compiling with TRANSPARENT but !XPM_BACKGROUND, as reported
321 by omatunto_.
322 - slap in a using namespace std, might help on platforms that don't
323 follow C++ closely enough.
324 - fix mailto url regex, spotted within milliseconds by Jost Krieger.
325 - applied fade_color_update_func.patch by WU Fengguang.
326 - fix a bug where (due to an optimisation in av_delete), hiding the
327 bottom-most overlay would hide two overlays.
328
3297.7 Tue Feb 21 12:32:49 CET 2006
330 - use double-buffered drawing (xft fonts only). On many driver/hardware
331 combination this actually increases xft drawing speed, at the expense
332 of more network bandwidth and slight nausea on the side of the author.
333 - readline perl extension now requires shift-click instead of a normal
334 click, and eats the click.
335 - tabbed perl extension now supports -e.
336 - disabled graphics-exposures on the main drawing GC, report any
337 refresh bugs please.
338 - improve property handling for -pe tabbed: avoid unnecessary property
339 changes (for kde's benefit) at the expense of extra round-trips,
340 improve size hint setting.
341 - modified XIM according to a patch sent by Takano Akio that sets
342 the preedit rectangle for OverTheSpot, which helps some input methods
343 to correctly position their preedit window.
344 - un-optimise the line clearing on newly scrolled-in lines a bit: the
345 former reasoning was that any fg colour on default bg looks the same
346 in empty spaces, but thats not true when reversing (e.g. selection),
347 so also check for matching fg colours. This fixes the problem where
348 selecting newly scrolled-in lines would exhibit wrong colours.
349 - fix a bug in the perl interface causing focus in events to generate
350 focus out perl events, causing bad focus effects with -pe tabbed.
351 - fix a race resulting in a crash on exiting.
352 - fix a with --disable-xft that caused xfreecolors to be called on
353 colors never allocated, resulting in aborts (reported by Paco-Paco).
354 - resources on non-initial screens weren't refetched correctly
355 (reported by Paco-Paco).
356 - fix a bug in xcopyarea pass and _disable_ it, as it seems not to be
357 working in either rxvt-unicode nor in the original rxvt.
358 - removed undocumented -exec alias for the -e option.
359
3607.6 Fri Feb 10 08:52:36 CET 2006
361 - changed interpretation of [alpha] colour prefix.
362 - +option now really sets the option to default, instead of using the
363 resource value.
364 - options that require an argument now really _require_ an argument.
365 - the tabbed extension now forwards focus and keys events to th
366 relevant tab window.
367 - tab colours are now configurable and have sensible defaults
368 (initial patch by hednod).
369 - option menu is extendable, readline, selection and
370 selection-autotransform can now be disabled/enabled at runtime.
371 - forcing a configure event to tabbed subwindows with -pe tabbed, for
372 the benefit of automove-background.
373 - the automove-background extension added a wrong constant offset.
374 - force refresh of XA_RESOURCE_STRING on virtual reconnect.
375 - return exit status 2 in urxvtc when urxvtd couldn't be contacted.
376 - the linux yield hack is back, now using usleep, and enabled only on
377 __linux__.
378 - further round trip eliminations in the !XFT case by remembering
379 the colour components.
380 - plain scrollbar works better with -sr.
381 - fixed half-shadow scrollbar look.
382 - more colour rtt optimisations.
383 - properly(?) free colours on window close.
384 - reorganised the FAQ into multiple sections.
385 - add ISO646.1991-IRV to the list of supported codesets.
386 - minor libptytty update.
387
3887.5 Tue Jan 31 15:15:43 CET 2006
389 - further improvements to the careful mode detection, and font width
390 detection:
391 - fully double-wide fonts will now be correctly treated,
392 - overlap detection was improved.
393 - detect totally broken fonts (usually synthesized by xft).
394 - careful mode forced refresh sometimes clashed with blinking,
395 causing unnecessary screen redraws.
396 - better handling of XFT combining characters.
397 - enable antialiasing for some replacement fonts, as they
398 might get used for other encodings which really need it, later.
399 - remove spacing=100 from all default fonts, as this creates totally
400 weird spacing (5 times normal) with xft.
401 - removed iso10646 fallback, as xorgs iso10646 encoded fonts are mostly
402 broken.
403 - removed gnu unifont fallback, all combining characters are broken.
404 - replace named colours by xorg's rgb.txt equivalents, to
405 reduce round trip time on startup, and short-cut allocation
406 of rgb:rr/gg/bb for xft.
407 - short-cut allocation of rgb values in the xlib case
408 (patch by Paco-Paco).
409 - overhauled color management: smaller codesize, alpha support.
410 - support "rgba:rrrr/gggg/bbbb/aaaa" color specifications and
411 an "[alpha]" prefix.
412 - try to work around Xft and Xrender forcing everything to be 100%
413 transparent. Long Live Xft!
414 - do not include X11/Intrinsic.h anymore, directly use
415 Xlib/Xutil/Xresource directly.
416 - try to find a nearest matching color when color allocation fails
417 on a pseudocolor screen.
418 - SYNCCVS: compared to rxvt-cvs 2006-01-28, no relevant changes.
419 - fix version report (DA) (which was unfortunately broken).
420 - changed version number report again, now to emulate xterm closer.
421 - added the OSC sequence 702 to detect the urxvt version number.
422 - small configure updates.
423 - further RTT optimisations.
424 - backported clean-up patches for makefiles and documentation from
425 the debian package.
426 - updated doc/rxvt-unicode.spec file. It's still not maintained here,
427 but much newer than the old one.
428
4297.4 Sat Jan 28 15:26:27 CET 2006
430 - screen background wasn't always erased properly when scrolling,
431 - re-enabled clearing optimisation disabled in 7.4pre.
432 - small configure updates for libptytty.
433 - fixed version options: line output.
434 - removed stoopid debugging message left in the code.
435
4367.3 Wed Jan 25 22:47:35 CET 2006
437 - don't let iso14755 or mouse reporting get into the way of perl
438 (could lead to global grabs never being cleared).
439 - experimental OnTheSpot editing support (-pe xim-onthespot).
440 - moved Shift-Button2 paste combination to Meta-Button2.
441 - the cutchars resource will now be respected and used by the
442 selection extension.
443 - added the "remote-clipboard" extension which just runs external
444 commands to fetch and store the selection data.
445 - added -depth switch that tries to get a different visual depth
446 than the default (replaces the old PREFER_24_BIT logic).
447 - removed (unused) arabic presentation form composing sequences.
448 - be more strict when deciding that a core font glyph is too wide and
449 needs the careful rendering mode.
450 - allow more leeway for italic fonts when deciding that a character is
451 too wide and needs careful mode.
452 - redraw even more characters around characters using careful mode.
453 - made selection-pastebin fully asynchronous.
454 - reduced number of server turnarounds at startup by allocating
455 atoms only once per display.
456 - renamed on_keyboard_command to on_user_command.
457 - changed version sos (ESC [ > c) response to be more compatible with
458 xterm.
459
4607.2 Sun Jan 22 21:58:16 CET 2006
461 - bugfix: urxvt (not urxvtd) did not correctly handle multiple
462 environments necessary, which resulted in segfaults within
463 getenv (reproducable: urxvt -fn 9x15, open a menu once,
464 ctrl-shift-672c).
465 - bugfix: the selection speedup in in 7.1 unfortunately caused
466 non-ascii characters to enlarge/move the selection.
467 - bugfix: resizing sometimes leaked lines from the secondary to
468 the primary screen.
469 - bugfix: reducing window size while large amounts of text were output
470 could lead to an assertion failure.
471 - added "tabbed" extension that provides a crude tabbed terminal.
472 - added "readline" extension that allows cursor positioning
473 via mouse clicks.
474 - now it is possible to insert the value of the CLIPBOARD selection
475 with shift - mouse button 2.
476 - fixed the automove-background extension to ignore coordinates
477 in non-synthetic events.
478 - created a separate libpty for portable and secure
479 pty/tty/utmp/wtmp/lastlog handling, and include it in rxvt-unicode.
480 - the non-terminfo visual bell now works asynchronously, so
481 continuous ASCI BELs in one terminal do no longer monopolise the
482 whole urxvt[d] process.
483 - support some *BSD makes (for the time being, gnu make is a safe bet).
484 - work around bugs in FreeBSD's gcc.
485 - implemented some *BSD fixes in configure.
486 - removed support for obsolete offix dnd protocol.
487
4887.1 Thu Jan 19 20:25:34 CET 2006
489 - setuid/setgid operation is now _encouraged_: security has been
490 improved by moving privileged operations into a separate process
491 and permanently dropping privileges within the terminal. This
492 makes it possible to remove security checks from the perl code
493 and gives a much safer feeling when urxvt needs to run with
494 special privileges.
495 - perl taint checking disabled, as urxvt no longer runs setuid/setgid
496 itself.
497 - new perl extension automove-background that can be used to get
498 the same effect as pseudo-transparency with any pixmap.
499 - new perl extension example: perl/selection-pastebin, can be used to
500 e.g. upload the selection to a webserver and generate a url, or
501 similar stuff.
502 - use the scrollback buffer even when the scroll region doesn't
503 span the whole screen, as long as it starts at row 0. Helps
504 for programs displaying a status line at the bottom.
505 - selection popup now shows selection in dec/hex/oct.
506 - perl/selection: matching on unicode characters in the selection
507 code was O(n²), which equals infinity in some degenerate cases
508 :-> Matching is now done on UTF-8, which makes it almost instant.
509 - perl/selection, perl/selection-autotransform: regexes are now
510 being interpreted in the locale urxvt was started.
511 - implemented override-redirect option and enabled it on menus,
512 as kwin puts our windows behind the terminal (what a shoddy wm).
513 - fixed struct utmp check in configure for OpenBSD.
514 - complete overhaul of the pty/utmp management stuff and configure
515 (Emanuele Giaquinta).
516 - add tsl/fsl and related capabilities to the terminfo description,
517 to set the window title.
518 - swap the environment in some more cases. This hopefully fixes
519 some segfaults that might be caused by xft asking for env variables
520 at the wrong time.
521 - removed src/strings.C and src/menubar.C. No menubar support
522 anymore.
523 - removed all traces of SMOOTH_REFRESH.
524 - nuked QNX support.
525 - made some fixes to xpm offset and scaling code.
526 - perl-overlays and refresh hooks were not applied in correct order.
527 - changed coordinate-system of view_start/nsaved to be top to bottom.
528 - iom extended to support listening for child exits.
529
5307.0 Fri Jan 13 14:02:18 CET 2006
531 - added sections for DISTRIBUTION MAINTAINERS and about
532 SETUID/SETGID to the FAQ.
533 - selection, searchable-scrollback, selection-popup and
534 option-popup extensions enabled by default.
535 - increased xft drawing speed for problematic fonts. The effect
536 will likely be small as 99% of the xft slowness is server-related.
537 - perl: much increased functionality, better overlays, popup support
538 and much much more.
539 - perl: urxvt::line now can set via ->t and ->r.
540 - perl: changed interpretation of --perl-ext-common and -pe.
541 - perl: finally implemented --perl-eval.
542 - perl: non-blocking anyevent support.
543 - perl: run tainted and ignore perl-eval/perl-lib if started
544 setuid/setgid.
545 - free the resource database: this plugs a massive memory leak. As a
546 side effect, it also gets rid of XGetDefault calls.
547 - free one of the cursors, fixes a small memory leak.
548 - built-in (as opposed to terminfos) visual bell was broken/too fast.
549 - applied minor cleanups by Ladislav Michnovic.
550 - applied pty handling cleanups and improvements (Emanuele Giaquinta).
551 - mark-urls launch-on-click by jepler.
552 - removed "small" resource parsing function, as it wasn't really
553 compatible, and not really small either.
554 - removed PATH_ENV and PATH file search support.
555 - removed support for locale-specific app-defaults file.
556 - fixed a bug where out-of-bounds colour sequences could lead
557 to crashes.
558 - limit colour changing to the standard 88 palette instead of all
559 colours.
560 - XTerm_Color01 sequence returned wrong results in query mode.
561 - iom.C now checks against destructed io_manager when unregistering.
562

564 - SECURITY FIX: on systems using openpty, permissions were

568 systems where non-unix ptys were used (such as most BSDs, not
569 GNU/Linux). (found, patched and debugged by Ryan Beasley).

577 - try to be more clever about differing font sizes and their ascent.
578 Not guarenteed to work, but works better in most cases now.
23 - fix directory permissions on install. 579 - fix directory permissions on install.
24 - improved sched_yield support. 580 - implemented option to disable built-in line drawing characters
581 and fall back to the font ones (patch by Martin Pohlack).
582 - disabled sched_yield support: the linux version is just too useless
583 (it schedules nice'd processes before the own one for extended
584 periods). Too bad, it could reduce system time by a factor of 5 here.
