Revision 1.896 by root, Wed Nov 5 00:14:18 2008 UTC

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: line-rewrapping on resize 12WISH: investigate -pe tabbed -g 80x25 being 23 not 24 or 25 lines
9WISH: searchable backlog 13 => when setting the constraints, the wm might (correctly)
10WISH: meta-tagging of data by regex/master process (my dream project) 14 resize the outer window, which might result in a smaller window overall.
11WISH: OnTheSpot editing, or maybe switch to miiiiiiif 15 or something like that. guys, send me a patch.
12WISH: just for fun, do shade and tint with XRender. 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
13 21
22TODO: cursor over overlays, when focus change?
23TODO: cursor restore/rendition restore on rmcup
24 - the aterm code now frees the as visual and image manager objects
25 when a window was closed.
26 - do not (wrongly) adjust the virtual line length inside
27 scr_insdel_chars/ERASE (Miroslav Lichvar).
28 - fix an issue where wide tab characters caused character shifts
29 when part of them was deleted (tracked down by Miroslav Lichvar).
30 - artificially enlargen the previous character at the end of a line
31 when trying to output a character that doesn't fit. looks ugly, but
32 makes copy&paste work.
33 - remove bogus "setuid/setgid security issues" from rxvt.1.pod, they
34 no longer apply.
35 - the urgency hint is now cleared on both focus in and focus out.
36 - cache urgency hint locally to avoid server rtt on every focus change.
37 - perl 5.10 needs PERL_SYS_INIT3 on hppa.
38 - ignore byte-order marks and do not treat them like combining characters.
39 - fix build issue when CURSOR_BLINK is not defined (Emanuele Giaquinta).
40 - do some µ-optimisations to the character fast path.
41 - use a less cunning, but more robust algorithm to avoid one terminal
42 monopolising the whole process by outputting a lot of text.
43 - try to work around linux first breaking sched_yield and now breaking
44 the only known workaround.
45 - new option -icon to set _NET_WM_ICON (based on patch by Frank Schmitt).
46 - initialise the as visual only on demand, instead of unconditionally,
47 to save memory in the common case of not using visual gimmicks.
48 - try to work around a race between urxvt and wm's on programmatic
49 resizes by temporarily disabling size hints.
50 - implement the DECSTR soft reset sequence and use it for tput init,
51 and make hard RIS and DECSTR both reset more private modes, such
52 as mouse reporting.
53 - redundantly clear mouse reporting and a few other states in
54 tput init/tput reset, for older urxvts.
55 - partial/full clear screens did cause flickering and possibly pixel
56 droppings when urxvt viewed the scorllback buffer.
57
589.05 Sun Jun 15 20:09:20 CEST 2008
59 - new option --cd/chdir to set the starting working directory.
60 - tabbed extension now starts in the "correct" working directory.
61 - work around fedora 9 providing isastream but not the relevant
62 header file for it (report by Tuncer Ayaz).
63 - upgrade libev, fixing a bug in the select backend
64 with more than 31 file descriptors on non-linux 64 bit systems.
65 - correctly reset the multibyte state to the initial one
66 after EILSEQ (patch by Neil Booth). This fixes the
67 issue of rxvt-unicode not properly displaying text after an illegal
68 sequence on NetBSD and probably other systems.
69 - more intelligent property handling with -pe tabbed, works around
70 broken window managers (kwm et al.), saves bandwidth and should
71 help working window managers as well.
72 - made tabs moveable (based on a patch by Petr Machata).
73 - implement ESC [ 3 K as a more rational alternative to ESC [ 0 K.
74 - support relative paths for RXVT_SOCKET in urxvtd.
75 - the tabbed extension now blindly copies over all (rxvt-) resources
76 from the toplevel window to the children.
77 - better diagnostic on 0x0 window geometries.
78 - update AnyEvent API to version 3.4 and above.
79 - document the default value of :0 for DISPLAY.
80 - rename perl method XChangeWindowProperty to XChangeProperty.
81
829.02 Tue Jan 29 11:58:36 CET 2008
83 - the "exg makes everybody happy" release.
84 - fix build with !xft.
85 - always compile in plain style scrollbar (simplifies code and looks great).
86
879.01 Sat Jan 26 20:49:27 CET 2008
88 - be more aggressive about handling X events, this seems to be required
89 with newer xlibs (should fix the "screen stays black until event is
90 received" problem, again :)
91 - add buffered resource to control xft double-buffering.
92
939.0 Fri Jan 25 19:34:04 CET 2008
94 - fix a crash bug where urxvtd would crash when urxvtc was called
95 with wrong arguments (I wish debian maintainers in general would
96 report bugs and their proposed fixes to the original package maintaienrs
97 instead of sitting on them for good measure to see if anybody notices).
98 - drawing xft compose characters was causing garbage to be drawn.
99 - correctly clear xft character background in all cases.
100 - implement bracketed paste mode (xterm private mode 2004).
101 - improve documentation on alpha channel handling, make urxvt
102 work better on servers lacking the RENDER extension when alpha
103 channels or background images are used.
104 - check for refresh after initialising to avoid staying blank
105 till the first event arrives. or so.
106 - the FORCE_UNBUFFERED_XFT feature macro works again.
107 - continuously update transparency while moving/resizing now.
108 - OSC 39/49 are deprecated and aliased to OSC 10/11.
109 - cub1 now acts as advertised (and ignores the "wrapped" state).
110 - the 132/80 mode switch now forces a height of 24, too, and
111 resets the terminal.
112 - scrollbar code cleanups.
113 - stopping children is no longer confused with children exiting.
114 - removed (undocumented) #aarrggbb format.
115 - updated to libev 3.0.
116
1178.9 Mon Dec 24 07:51:40 CET 2007
118 - fix the issue where urxvtd would not immediately close a window
119 when the command exited but only on the next X event.
120 - changed terminfo file not to use application keypad mode.
121 - fix the issue where making a selection in one urxvtd window
122 would not clear it visually in another.
123 - fix an issue of urxvt not getting background pixmap updates
124 and flickering after bg pixmap changes (reported by Mikachu).
125 - fix redraw bug in xterm scrollbar with -sr (reported by Mikachu).
126 - correctly provide dependencies for libev (µikachu).
127 - minor code reorganisations and cleanups.
128 - be more robust in case the urxvt-popup extension cannot be loaded.
129
1308.8 Sat Dec 15 19:40:39 CET 2007
131 - option -C was aliased to all unsupported options, activating
132 options that shouldn't be compiled in, leading to interesting
133 effects.
134 - updated libev, working around a bug in linux 2.4, curing the
135 symptom of urxvt not closing its window on shell exit. also
136 fixes a problem with urxvt not refreshing.
137 - the text blink callback was called even when no blinking
138 text was visible.
139 - pre-8.4 slipwheeling behaviour has been reinstated, with
140 some minor improvements.
141 - streamlined x events processing to only flush once per
142 display and not once per terminal window.
143 - quite a bit of minor code cleanups and codesize optimisations.
144
1458.7 Sun Nov 25 10:23:49 CET 2007
146 - update libev with an important bugfix that would cause crashes
147 when closing windows (when using rxvtd, and update is recommended).
148 - do not compile in the block builtin graphics with --disable-frills.
149
1508.6 Fri Nov 23 14:10:57 CET 2007
151 - upgrade libev to disable kqueue on anything but netbsd as it
152 seems to be broken everywhere else w.r.t. ptys.
153 - allow for spurious event notifications, as at least epoll and
154 especially solaris ports like to lie about them (symptoms:
155 urxvt "hangs" until there is some x11 related activity).
156 - -keysym command line options are now subjected to xlib parsing.
157 - add 'xrm' option analogous to Xt one.
158
1598.5a Wed Nov 21 10:16:33 CET 2007
160 - make it compile with --disable-transparency.
161
1628.5 Wed Nov 21 05:19:20 CET 2007
163 - expect major portability issues in this release: please test and report.
164 - converted from the veritable io manager event loop to
165 the high performance libev (http://software.schmorp.de/pkg/libev).
166 - minor tuning to the perl selection (include single words and more quoting chars).
167 - fix memory leak in pixmap code.
168 - fix a serious bug while setting the XIM destroy callback
169 on (typical) 64 bit systems.
170 - automove-background functionality re-implemented internaly using :root op in pixmap
171 geometry string. For example: rxvt -pixmap "image.jpg;:root"
172 - do not link rxvtc against every lib on the planet anymore.
173 - parallel builds should work once more.
174
1758.4 Sat Oct 27 14:02:13 CEST 2007
176 - overhaul of the transparency/pixmap code (sasha).
177 - fix possible race betwen visual bell and poweron.
178 (reported by Martin von Gagern, gentoo?).
179 - urxvt -e no longer crashes the child.
180 - fixed some minor memleaks on incorrect usage or
181 missing DISPLAY.
182 - implement xterm 1002/1003 mouse tracking modes (exg).
183 - source code organisational cleanups (exg).
184 - updated io_manager.
185
1868.3 Wed Aug 1 20:21:31 CEST 2007
187 - new option: skipScroll/-ss, enabled by default.
188 - go with the times and expect x11 library files in /usr/lib, not
189 /usr/X11R6/lib.
190 - initial transparency improvement/afterimage support
191 patch by Sasha Vasko.
192 - add urgentOnBell resource to set the urgency hint
193 (patch by Philip Paeps).
194 - do not process focus events caused by grabs
195 (patch by Mikachu).
196 - add iso14755_52 resource to disable iso14755 5.2 (exg).
197 - add binding for backspace in iso14755 5.1 to remove the last
198 digit (exg).
199 - better option handling, support more than 30 options (exg).
200 - nuke reconf script, serves no purpose anymore.
201 - fixed and documented matcher/on_user_command processing in matcher
202 extension (tpope).
203 - compile out of the box on Solaris 10 (exg).
204 - fix MappingNotify events (reported by Stephan Walter).
205 - zero-initialise mwmhints, this seems to solve all sorts of minor
206 problems.
207
2088.2 Sat Feb 17 21:35:28 CET 2007
209 - fix make depend in src/, reported by exg.
210 - fixed typo in urxvt::GET_CUSTOM, causing the result to be wrong.
211 (patch by Sergey Vlasov).
212 - unbundled iom perl interface somewhat.
213 - scrollbar-xterm now uses the selected scrollColor instead of fg
214 (found by Aiviru).
215 - disabled linux kernel bug workaround again: disabling it gives
216 a 50% speed hit on affected machines, while enabling it gives
217 a similar speed hit to screen, which is likely the more common
218 case to work around for :/
219 - urxvt::rend2mask perl function, and utilization of it by matcher
220 (patch by Moshe Kamensky).
221 - use perl:matcher on a keysym to open most recently displayed URL.
222 - with matcher, when multiple patterns match, last wins, not first.
223 - fix make and make install with srcdir != builddir (exg).
224 - updated bundled libptytty to fix a bug where the tty would be kept
225 open (see the libptytty ChangeLog for details).
226 - delay setting the IUTF8 flag to after the tty settings have been
227 set so its value does not get lost (reported and analysed by Andrei
228 Paskevich).
229 - rip out support for obsolete sgtty.h interface.
230 - rip out support for non-POSIX termios variants.
231 - update libptytty.
232 - update iom.C, make it call ptytty::sanitise_stdfd on init.
233 - when !XFT, change rounding of colours to use a less correct formula to
234 meet user expectancies (#aaa becomes #a000a000a000 not #9f9f9f9f9f9f).
235 - change the starting offset of the pixmap set with backgroundPixmap
236 from (50,50) to (0,0) (exg).
237 - fix a typo in button_release, now meta-button2 request the value of
238 the Clipboard selection as it should (patch by Serge Koksharov).
239 - fix a bug in drawing a cell with a nonspacing char when using an xft
240 font with inheritPixmap and tintColor (exg).
241
2428.1 Thu Dec 7 22:27:25 CET 2006
243 - ケリスマスプレゼント - zomg!!1, it's too early!!!
244 - fix the assumption that chars < 256 are single-width. Now
245 only assume this for codepoints 32 to 126 (reported by Dai.H.).
246 - $term->strwidth returned wide chars as width 1, because some jerk
247 confused min and max. Fixing this also fixes xim-onthespot.
248 Reported by Takano Akio.
249 - secondaryScroll is now enabled by default (as per the manpage),
250 reported by exg.
251 - correct the description of [percent]color rgba format in the manpage.
252 - incorporated macosx-clipboard extension by Samuel Ljungkvist.
253 - ignore (some) useless focus events (reported by mmc).
254 - updated compose table to unicode 5.0.0.
255
2568.0 Thu Nov 2 18:35:19 CET 2006
257 - combining characters cleared the area instead of creating an overlay,
258 thus losing the ability to draw combining characters properly in most
259 circumstances (reported by exg).
260 - specified fonts were incorrectly morphed to bold/italic according to the
261 basefont, even if explicitly specified (tracked down by tpope).
262 - fixed urxvt::strwidth to calculate width in the same way as screen.C.
263 - fix a crash caused by passing negative widths to overlay functions.
264 - added 'matcher' extension by tpope, replacing the mark-urls extension.
265 - improve url regex to match anything www.* (tpope).
266 - fixed bug with outline cursor color being wrong after xft fonts.
267 - update to libptytty-1.0.
268 - give proper diagnostic when RXVT_SOCKET is too long instead of
269 corrupting the stack (patch by exg).
270 - display current terminal locale in option menu.
271 - urxvtd no longer crashes when the client sends an inaccessible
272 working directory (reported by Roland Baer, possibly fixes gentoo
273 bug #143985).
274 - fixed many minor issues reported by Roland Baer.
275 - Leonid Khramov spotted a minor glitch in rxvtfont.C that
276 should not have any consequences, but was buggy nonetheless.
277 - manpage fix by exg.
278
2797.9 Mon Aug 7 18:16:07 CEST 2006
280 - fix the crashing bug people encountered with 7.8 + urxvtd + perl
281 + transparency. Ought to fix debian bug #380348.
282 - fix urxvtc.1.pod: it actually claimed -pty-fd would not work. But
283 it does! :->
284 - rxvt_fatal() in case the locale string is too long for our static buffer.
285 - fixed many, many, typos in the manpages (patch supplied by ves).
286
2877.8 Mon Jul 17 21:00:46 CEST 2006
288 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: this version will always read ~/.Xdefaults,
289 earlier versions only read it if display-resources (usually from
290 .Xresources) are not set. This avoids the #1 FAQ ("why isn't my
291 resource used") and seems to be logical behaviour, too. .Xdefaults
292 resources have a lower priority than display-specific resources.
293 - add "kuake" perl extension that does a similar thing to the kuake
294 terminal emulator (see man urxtvperl).
295 - use less "correct" color scaling that is compatible with libX11 and
296 Xft (avoids off-by-one colors resulting in striped backgrounds).
297 - the "depth" resource is now respected.
298 - preset the searchable-scrollback pattern with "(?i)" to default search
299 to case-insensitivity. Will automatically be cleared when typing an
300 uppercase character.
301 - add FORCE_UNBUFFERED_XFT define to features.h.
302 - re-enabled highlightcolor support with --enable-frills, based on
303 a patch by Martin Stubenschrott.
304 - double-buffered xft drawing did suffer from pixel offset issues
305 when pixmap transparency was enabled.
306 - strategically add # to the url-match regexes, as we really want to
307 match common URIs not common URLs. Reported by Aaron Griffin.
308 - moved on_osc_seq to on_osc_seq_perl and added a more
309 generic osc_seq.
310 - fix a bug causing double callback invocations when perl hooks
311 were invoked recursively.
312 - the automove-background extension now properly works when the
313 pixmap gets reset with an osc sequence (sqweek).
314 - selection-pastebin did not work properly with non-latin1-characters.
315 - apply colorUL only when the text colour is the default fg
316 (patch by Wu Fengguang).
317 - removed rxvtlib.h from the tarball, it had no reason to be there
318 (spotted by Decklin Foster).
319 - fix compiling with TRANSPARENT but !XPM_BACKGROUND, as reported
320 by omatunto_.
321 - slap in a using namespace std, might help on platforms that don't
322 follow C++ closely enough.
323 - fix mailto url regex, spotted within milliseconds by Jost Krieger.
324 - applied fade_color_update_func.patch by WU Fengguang.
325 - fix a bug where (due to an optimisation in av_delete), hiding the
326 bottom-most overlay would hide two overlays.
327
3287.7 Tue Feb 21 12:32:49 CET 2006
329 - use double-buffered drawing (xft fonts only). On many driver/hardware
330 combination this actually increases xft drawing speed, at the expense
331 of more network bandwidth and slight nausea on the side of the author.
332 - readline perl extension now requires shift-click instead of a normal
333 click, and eats the click.
334 - tabbed perl extension now supports -e.
335 - disabled graphics-exposures on the main drawing GC, report any
336 refresh bugs please.
337 - improve property handling for -pe tabbed: avoid unnecessary property
338 changes (for kde's benefit) at the expense of extra round-trips,
339 improve size hint setting.
340 - modified XIM according to a patch sent by Takano Akio that sets
341 the preedit rectangle for OverTheSpot, which helps some input methods
342 to correctly position their preedit window.
343 - un-optimise the line clearing on newly scrolled-in lines a bit: the
344 former reasoning was that any fg colour on default bg looks the same
345 in empty spaces, but thats not true when reversing (e.g. selection),
346 so also check for matching fg colours. This fixes the problem where
347 selecting newly scrolled-in lines would exhibit wrong colours.
348 - fix a bug in the perl interface causing focus in events to generate
349 focus out perl events, causing bad focus effects with -pe tabbed.
350 - fix a race resulting in a crash on exiting.
351 - fix a with --disable-xft that caused xfreecolors to be called on
352 colors never allocated, resulting in aborts (reported by Paco-Paco).
353 - resources on non-initial screens weren't refetched correctly
354 (reported by Paco-Paco).
355 - fix a bug in xcopyarea pass and _disable_ it, as it seems not to be
356 working in either rxvt-unicode nor in the original rxvt.
357 - removed undocumented -exec alias for the -e option.
358
3597.6 Fri Feb 10 08:52:36 CET 2006
360 - changed interpretation of [alpha] colour prefix.
361 - +option now really sets the option to default, instead of using the
362 resource value.
363 - options that require an argument now really _require_ an argument.
364 - the tabbed extension now forwards focus and keys events to th
365 relevant tab window.
366 - tab colours are now configurable and have sensible defaults
367 (initial patch by hednod).
368 - option menu is extendable, readline, selection and
369 selection-autotransform can now be disabled/enabled at runtime.
370 - forcing a configure event to tabbed subwindows with -pe tabbed, for
371 the benefit of automove-background.
372 - the automove-background extension added a wrong constant offset.
373 - force refresh of XA_RESOURCE_STRING on virtual reconnect.
374 - return exit status 2 in urxvtc when urxvtd couldn't be contacted.
375 - the linux yield hack is back, now using usleep, and enabled only on
376 __linux__.
377 - further round trip eliminations in the !XFT case by remembering
378 the colour components.
379 - plain scrollbar works better with -sr.
380 - fixed half-shadow scrollbar look.
381 - more colour rtt optimisations.
382 - properly(?) free colours on window close.
383 - reorganised the FAQ into multiple sections.
384 - add ISO646.1991-IRV to the list of supported codesets.
385 - minor libptytty update.
386
3877.5 Tue Jan 31 15:15:43 CET 2006
388 - further improvements to the careful mode detection, and font width
389 detection:
390 - fully double-wide fonts will now be correctly treated,
391 - overlap detection was improved.
392 - detect totally broken fonts (usually synthesized by xft).
393 - careful mode forced refresh sometimes clashed with blinking,
394 causing unnecessary screen redraws.
395 - better handling of XFT combining characters.
396 - enable antialiasing for some replacement fonts, as they
397 might get used for other encodings which really need it, later.
398 - remove spacing=100 from all default fonts, as this creates totally
399 weird spacing (5 times normal) with xft.
400 - removed iso10646 fallback, as xorgs iso10646 encoded fonts are mostly
401 broken.
402 - removed gnu unifont fallback, all combining characters are broken.
403 - replace named colours by xorg's rgb.txt equivalents, to
404 reduce round trip time on startup, and short-cut allocation
405 of rgb:rr/gg/bb for xft.
406 - short-cut allocation of rgb values in the xlib case
407 (patch by Paco-Paco).
408 - overhauled color management: smaller codesize, alpha support.
409 - support "rgba:rrrr/gggg/bbbb/aaaa" color specifications and
410 an "[alpha]" prefix.
411 - try to work around Xft and Xrender forcing everything to be 100%
412 transparent. Long Live Xft!
413 - do not include X11/Intrinsic.h anymore, directly use
414 Xlib/Xutil/Xresource directly.
415 - try to find a nearest matching color when color allocation fails
416 on a pseudocolor screen.
417 - SYNCCVS: compared to rxvt-cvs 2006-01-28, no relevant changes.
418 - fix version report (DA) (which was unfortunately broken).
419 - changed version number report again, now to emulate xterm closer.
420 - added the OSC sequence 702 to detect the urxvt version number.
421 - small configure updates.
422 - further RTT optimisations.
423 - backported clean-up patches for makefiles and documentation from
424 the debian package.
425 - updated doc/rxvt-unicode.spec file. It's still not maintained here,
426 but much newer than the old one.
427
4287.4 Sat Jan 28 15:26:27 CET 2006
429 - screen background wasn't always erased properly when scrolling,
430 - re-enabled clearing optimisation disabled in 7.4pre.
431 - small configure updates for libptytty.
432 - fixed version options: line output.
433 - removed stoopid debugging message left in the code.
434
4357.3 Wed Jan 25 22:47:35 CET 2006
436 - don't let iso14755 or mouse reporting get into the way of perl
437 (could lead to global grabs never being cleared).
438 - experimental OnTheSpot editing support (-pe xim-onthespot).
439 - moved Shift-Button2 paste combination to Meta-Button2.
440 - the cutchars resource will now be respected and used by the
441 selection extension.
442 - added the "remote-clipboard" extension which just runs external
443 commands to fetch and store the selection data.
444 - added -depth switch that tries to get a different visual depth
445 than the default (replaces the old PREFER_24_BIT logic).
446 - removed (unused) arabic presentation form composing sequences.
447 - be more strict when deciding that a core font glyph is too wide and
448 needs the careful rendering mode.
449 - allow more leeway for italic fonts when deciding that a character is
450 too wide and needs careful mode.
451 - redraw even more characters around characters using careful mode.
452 - made selection-pastebin fully asynchronous.
453 - reduced number of server turnarounds at startup by allocating
454 atoms only once per display.
455 - renamed on_keyboard_command to on_user_command.
456 - changed version sos (ESC [ > c) response to be more compatible with
457 xterm.
458
4597.2 Sun Jan 22 21:58:16 CET 2006
460 - bugfix: urxvt (not urxvtd) did not correctly handle multiple
461 environments necessary, which resulted in segfaults within
462 getenv (reproducable: urxvt -fn 9x15, open a menu once,
463 ctrl-shift-672c).
464 - bugfix: the selection speedup in in 7.1 unfortunately caused
465 non-ascii characters to enlarge/move the selection.
466 - bugfix: resizing sometimes leaked lines from the secondary to
467 the primary screen.
468 - bugfix: reducing window size while large amounts of text were output
469 could lead to an assertion failure.
470 - added "tabbed" extension that provides a crude tabbed terminal.
471 - added "readline" extension that allows cursor positioning
472 via mouse clicks.
473 - now it is possible to insert the value of the CLIPBOARD selection
474 with shift - mouse button 2.
475 - fixed the automove-background extension to ignore coordinates
476 in non-synthetic events.
477 - created a separate libpty for portable and secure
478 pty/tty/utmp/wtmp/lastlog handling, and include it in rxvt-unicode.
479 - the non-terminfo visual bell now works asynchronously, so
480 continuous ASCI BELs in one terminal do no longer monopolise the
481 whole urxvt[d] process.
482 - support some *BSD makes (for the time being, gnu make is a safe bet).
483 - work around bugs in FreeBSD's gcc.
484 - implemented some *BSD fixes in configure.
485 - removed support for obsolete offix dnd protocol.
486
4877.1 Thu Jan 19 20:25:34 CET 2006
488 - setuid/setgid operation is now _encouraged_: security has been
489 improved by moving privileged operations into a separate process
490 and permanently dropping privileges within the terminal. This
491 makes it possible to remove security checks from the perl code
492 and gives a much safer feeling when urxvt needs to run with
493 special privileges.
494 - perl taint checking disabled, as urxvt no longer runs setuid/setgid
495 itself.
496 - new perl extension automove-background that can be used to get
497 the same effect as pseudo-transparency with any pixmap.
498 - new perl extension example: perl/selection-pastebin, can be used to
499 e.g. upload the selection to a webserver and generate a url, or
500 similar stuff.
501 - use the scrollback buffer even when the scroll region doesn't
502 span the whole screen, as long as it starts at row 0. Helps
503 for programs displaying a status line at the bottom.
504 - selection popup now shows selection in dec/hex/oct.
505 - perl/selection: matching on unicode characters in the selection
506 code was O(n²), which equals infinity in some degenerate cases
507 :-> Matching is now done on UTF-8, which makes it almost instant.
508 - perl/selection, perl/selection-autotransform: regexes are now
509 being interpreted in the locale urxvt was started.
510 - implemented override-redirect option and enabled it on menus,
511 as kwin puts our windows behind the terminal (what a shoddy wm).
512 - fixed struct utmp check in configure for OpenBSD.
513 - complete overhaul of the pty/utmp management stuff and configure
514 (Emanuele Giaquinta).
515 - add tsl/fsl and related capabilities to the terminfo description,
516 to set the window title.
517 - swap the environment in some more cases. This hopefully fixes
518 some segfaults that might be caused by xft asking for env variables
519 at the wrong time.
520 - removed src/strings.C and src/menubar.C. No menubar support
521 anymore.
522 - removed all traces of SMOOTH_REFRESH.
523 - nuked QNX support.
524 - made some fixes to xpm offset and scaling code.
525 - perl-overlays and refresh hooks were not applied in correct order.
526 - changed coordinate-system of view_start/nsaved to be top to bottom.
527 - iom extended to support listening for child exits.
528
5297.0 Fri Jan 13 14:02:18 CET 2006
530 - added sections for DISTRIBUTION MAINTAINERS and about
531 SETUID/SETGID to the FAQ.
532 - selection, searchable-scrollback, selection-popup and
533 option-popup extensions enabled by default.
534 - increased xft drawing speed for problematic fonts. The effect
535 will likely be small as 99% of the xft slowness is server-related.
536 - perl: much increased functionality, better overlays, popup support
537 and much much more.
538 - perl: urxvt::line now can set via ->t and ->r.
539 - perl: changed interpretation of --perl-ext-common and -pe.
540 - perl: finally implemented --perl-eval.
541 - perl: non-blocking anyevent support.
542 - perl: run tainted and ignore perl-eval/perl-lib if started
543 setuid/setgid.
544 - free the resource database: this plugs a massive memory leak. As a
545 side effect, it also gets rid of XGetDefault calls.
546 - free one of the cursors, fixes a small memory leak.
547 - built-in (as opposed to terminfos) visual bell was broken/too fast.
548 - applied minor cleanups by Ladislav Michnovic.
549 - applied pty handling cleanups and improvements (Emanuele Giaquinta).
550 - mark-urls launch-on-click by jepler.
551 - removed "small" resource parsing function, as it wasn't really
552 compatible, and not really small either.
553 - removed PATH_ENV and PATH file search support.
554 - removed support for locale-specific app-defaults file.
555 - fixed a bug where out-of-bounds colour sequences could lead
556 to crashes.
557 - limit colour changing to the standard 88 palette instead of all
558 colours.
559 - XTerm_Color01 sequence returned wrong results in query mode.
560 - iom.C now checks against destructed io_manager when unregistering.
561
5626.3 Wed Jan 4 22:37:10 CET 2006
563 - SECURITY FIX: on systems using openpty, permissions were
564 not correctly updated on the tty device and were left as
565 world-readable and world-writable (likely in original rxvt,
566 too), and were not restored properly. Affected are only
567 systems where non-unix ptys were used (such as most BSDs, not
568 GNU/Linux). (found, patched and debugged by Ryan Beasley).
569 - meta8 support was forcefully enabled in most configurations.
570 restored configurability of this (useless) feature (reported
571 by Mikachu).
572 - optionally embed a perl interpreter, which can be used for more
573 intelligent/customized selection support, visual feedback,
574 menus, tabs etc. See the the urxvtperl manpage, the -pe option,
575 perl*-resources and keysym resources. Not everything is there yet.
576 - try to be more clever about differing font sizes and their ascent.
577 Not guarenteed to work, but works better in most cases now.
578 - fix directory permissions on install.
579 - implemented option to disable built-in line drawing characters
580 and fall back to the font ones (patch by Martin Pohlack).
581 - disabled sched_yield support: the linux version is just too useless
582 (it schedules nice'd processes before the own one for extended
583 periods). Too bad, it could reduce system time by a factor of 5 here.
584
5856.2 Mon Jan 2 16:03:01 CET 2006
586 - implemented intensityStyles option which enables/disables bold/blink
587 selecting high intensity foreground/background colours, suggested by
588 Chuck Blake.
589 - move iso14755 character feedback box out of the way if it would
590 obscure the mouse cursor position.
591 - replaced callback.h by a fixed version from gvpe that correctly
592 returns the callback result (affects new -pty-fd semantics in urxvtc
593 on a few architectures). Reported by darix.
594 - include one trailing space in rectangular selections to indicate
595 the inserted newline (yeah, weird, but visually more pleasing).
596 - try to use sched_yield to (drastically) improve terminal data
597 transfer efficiency.
598 - further minor cleanups.
599
6006.1 Tue Dec 27 13:23:40 CET 2005
601 - update iso8859-7 table (euro and drachma round-trip et al.).
602 - fix a crash when the selection scrolls out of the scrollback
603 while the user still drags.
604 - selections that were partially scrolled out of the window were
605 not drawn correctly.
606 - lines newly scrolled in were not initialized properly, leading
607 to extremely long lines and (hopefully) some segfaults.
608 - iso14755 overlay position was wrong.
609 - iso14755 overlay now displays rendition info, too.
610 - use unicode white space class instead of hardcoded values for
611 stripping whitespace.
612 - do whitespace stripping on rectangular selections.
613 - slight cleanups in src/features.h.
614
6156.0 Sat Dec 24 13:58:56 CET 2005
14 - make it compile without SMART_RESIZE again. 616 - make it compile without SMART_RESIZE again.
15 - enable slow link support by default. 617 - enable slow link support by default.
618 - fix relative cursor-positioning not respecting scrolling regions
619 (also a bug in original rxvt).
620 - initialize termios structure to zero when fetching it fails
621 (see http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=84647 for a
622 partial patch).
623 - bump max columns/rows to 10000 each.
624 - bump max savelines to 10000000.
625 - -pty-fd now passes the urxvtc fd to the urxvtd process.
626 - avoid linking against -lnsl/-lsocket/-lxpg4 unless neccessary.
627 - major code cleanup (still not complete, though).
628 - implement -hold option.
16 - _major_ rewrite of internal line handling logic: 629 - _major_ rewrite of internal buffer handling:
17# - re-flow on resize, lines get wrapped instead of winged. 630 - re-flow on resize, lines get wrapped instead of winged.
