2or changed rxvt behaviour to make it more compatible to xterm (usually
3xfree86's xterm).
4 2
3TODO: init_secondary serves what purpose? maybe move it to earlier startup phase and re-think
4TODO: xcopyarea pass broken, fix and improve
5TODO: event mechanism that replaces on_keyboard_command with something more scalable.
6TODO: slipwheeling needs a keyboard grab to get key release events.
7TODO: overlays collide with the way the out-of-focus cursor is being drawn
8TODO: "slow" rendering mode for bidi and scripts, pango!
5TODO: read property sequence is broken with respect to utf-8 etc. 9TODO: read property sequence is broken with respect to utf-8 etc.
6WISH: just for fun, do shade and tint with XRender. 10TODO: slow drag selection on remote display - other things seem fast (rxvt illness, motion hints?)
7WISH: hotkey font resizing 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 (my dream project) 13 => when setting the constraints, the wm might (correctly)
10WISH: triple-click == select full output line 14 resize the outer window, which might result in a smaller window overall.
11WISH: double-click: more intelligent (urls etc.) 15 or something like that. guys, send me a patch.
12WISH: OnTheSpot editing. 16WISH: coloured pastebin
13WISH: tabbed windows (hey, just use screen...) 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

22TODO: `/etc/udev/rules.d/41-mythtv-permissions.rules'
23TODO: exg-- patch
24TODO: selection_beg/end should set screen, or so
25TODO: - upgrade to libev-xx
26TODO: -rv interacts badly with popups.
27 - port to glibc-2.10 changes (strchr etc. returning const char *
28 in C++), based on patches by Milos Jakubicek and Oliver Mader.
29 - the binary search algorithm to find precomposed characters
30 was faulty, skipping some possible combinations (found by
31 Mikachu).
32 - new -letterspace option, patch by Mark H. Wilkinson.
33 - enable --mlock option for urxvt with frills on
34 systems supporting it (patch by Russell Harmon).
35 - urxvt did not compile without frills enabled
36 (analysed by Matthew Rosewarne).
37 - correctly reset the mbstate after an illegal
38 input sequence when handling terminal output (Emanuele Giaquinta).
39 - avoid redrawing wide characters with combining enabled on every
40 refresh (reported by Mikachu).
41 - fix a typo preventing the ISO-646.1991 character set from being
42 recognized (http://achurch.org/patch-pile/).
43 - better warning for x11 font encoding detection failures, also,
44 try to deduce encoding from both font properties and name
45 (adapted from http://achurch.org/patch-pile/).
46 - resizing the window with the scrollbar disabled via the escapes
47 sequence could make the window bigger again (Mikachu).
48 - make sure the alignment for fd passing control messages
49 is correct and work around some NetBSD issues (Taylor R Campbell).
50 - update to libptytty 1.3.
51 - replace maxosc-pastebin by a nicer version by Reza Jelveh, and move
52 the old version to macosx-pastebin-native.
53
549.06 Sat Nov 8 17:47:18 CET 2008
55 - NOTICE: this release updates terminfo/termcap.
56 - updates libev to 3.48.
57 - the aterm code now frees the as visual and image manager objects
58 when a window was closed.
59 - do not (wrongly) adjust the virtual line length inside
60 scr_insdel_chars/ERASE (Miroslav Lichvar).
61 - fix an issue where wide tab characters caused character shifts
62 when part of them was deleted (tracked down by Miroslav Lichvar).
63 - artificially enlargen the previous character at the end of a line
64 when trying to output a character that doesn't fit. looks ugly, but
65 makes copy&paste work.
66 - remove bogus "setuid/setgid security issues" from rxvt.1.pod, they
67 no longer apply.
68 - the urgency hint is now cleared on both focus in and focus out.
69 - cache urgency hint locally to avoid server rtt on every focus change.
70 - perl 5.10 needs PERL_SYS_INIT3 on hppa.
71 - ignore byte-order marks and do not treat them like combining characters.
72 - fix build issue when CURSOR_BLINK is not defined (Emanuele Giaquinta).
73 - do some µ-optimisations to the character fast path.
74 - use a less cunning, but more robust algorithm to avoid one terminal
75 monopolising the whole process by outputting a lot of text.
76 - try to work around linux first breaking sched_yield and now breaking
77 the only known workaround.
78 - new option -icon to set _NET_WM_ICON (based on patch by Frank Schmitt).
79 - initialise the as visual only on demand, instead of unconditionally,
80 to save memory in the common case of not using visual gimmicks.
81 - try to work around bugs in a few wm's that errornously resize
82 client windows on hint property updates by temporarily
83 disabling size hints.
84 - implement the DECSTR soft reset sequence and use it for tput init,
85 and make hard RIS and DECSTR both reset more private modes, such
86 as mouse reporting.
87 - redundantly clear mouse reporting and a few other states in
88 tput init/tput reset, for older urxvts.
89 - partial/full clear screens did cause flickering and possibly pixel
90 droppings when urxvt viewed the scrollback buffer.
91 - use current rendition style in DCH sequence.
92 - the 132/80 mode switch no longer forces a screen reset.
93 - add an osc sequence to change the border colour (Emanuele Giaquinta).
94 - new perl extension "overlay-osc", for status displays and the like.
95 - fix some minor cursor drawing issues with overlays by allowing
96 overlays to modify screen flags (to disable the cursor themselves).
97 - work around programs not restoring rstyle before rmcup
98 (analysed by Miroslav Lichvar).
99
1009.05 Sun Jun 15 20:09:20 CEST 2008
101 - new option --cd/chdir to set the starting working directory.
102 - tabbed extension now starts in the "correct" working directory.
103 - work around fedora 9 providing isastream but not the relevant
104 header file for it (report by Tuncer Ayaz).
105 - upgrade libev, fixing a bug in the select backend
106 with more than 31 file descriptors on non-linux 64 bit systems.
107 - correctly reset the multibyte state to the initial one
108 after EILSEQ (patch by Neil Booth). This fixes the
109 issue of rxvt-unicode not properly displaying text after an illegal
110 sequence on NetBSD and probably other systems.
111 - more intelligent property handling with -pe tabbed, works around
112 broken window managers (kwm et al.), saves bandwidth and should
113 help working window managers as well.
114 - made tabs moveable (based on a patch by Petr Machata).
115 - implement ESC [ 3 K as a more rational alternative to ESC [ 0 K.
116 - support relative paths for RXVT_SOCKET in urxvtd.
117 - the tabbed extension now blindly copies over all (rxvt-) resources
118 from the toplevel window to the children.
119 - better diagnostic on 0x0 window geometries.
120 - update AnyEvent API to version 3.4 and above.
121 - document the default value of :0 for DISPLAY.
122 - rename perl method XChangeWindowProperty to XChangeProperty.
123
1249.02 Tue Jan 29 11:58:36 CET 2008
125 - the "exg makes everybody happy" release.
126 - fix build with !xft.
127 - always compile in plain style scrollbar (simplifies code and looks great).
128
1299.01 Sat Jan 26 20:49:27 CET 2008
130 - be more aggressive about handling X events, this seems to be required
131 with newer xlibs (should fix the "screen stays black until event is
132 received" problem, again :)
133 - add buffered resource to control xft double-buffering.
134
1359.0 Fri Jan 25 19:34:04 CET 2008
136 - fix a crash bug where urxvtd would crash when urxvtc was called
137 with wrong arguments (I wish debian maintainers in general would
138 report bugs and their proposed fixes to the original package maintainers
139 instead of sitting on them for good measure to see if anybody notices).
140 - drawing xft compose characters was causing garbage to be drawn.
141 - correctly clear xft character background in all cases.
142 - implement bracketed paste mode (xterm private mode 2004).
143 - improve documentation on alpha channel handling, make urxvt
144 work better on servers lacking the RENDER extension when alpha
145 channels or background images are used.
146 - check for refresh after initialising to avoid staying blank
147 till the first event arrives. or so.
148 - the FORCE_UNBUFFERED_XFT feature macro works again.
149 - continuously update transparency while moving/resizing now.
150 - OSC 39/49 are deprecated and aliased to OSC 10/11.
151 - cub1 now acts as advertised (and ignores the "wrapped" state).
152 - the 132/80 mode switch now forces a height of 24, too, and
153 resets the terminal.
154 - scrollbar code cleanups.
155 - stopping children is no longer confused with children exiting.
156 - removed (undocumented) #aarrggbb format.
157 - updated to libev 3.0.
158
1598.9 Mon Dec 24 07:51:40 CET 2007
160 - fix the issue where urxvtd would not immediately close a window
161 when the command exited but only on the next X event.
162 - changed terminfo file not to use application keypad mode.
163 - fix the issue where making a selection in one urxvtd window
164 would not clear it visually in another.
165 - fix an issue of urxvt not getting background pixmap updates
166 and flickering after bg pixmap changes (reported by Mikachu).
167 - fix redraw bug in xterm scrollbar with -sr (reported by Mikachu).
168 - correctly provide dependencies for libev (µikachu).
169 - minor code reorganisations and cleanups.
170 - be more robust in case the urxvt-popup extension cannot be loaded.
171
1728.8 Sat Dec 15 19:40:39 CET 2007
173 - option -C was aliased to all unsupported options, activating
174 options that shouldn't be compiled in, leading to interesting
175 effects.
176 - updated libev, working around a bug in linux 2.4, curing the
177 symptom of urxvt not closing its window on shell exit. also
178 fixes a problem with urxvt not refreshing.
179 - the text blink callback was called even when no blinking
180 text was visible.
181 - pre-8.4 slipwheeling behaviour has been reinstated, with
182 some minor improvements.
183 - streamlined x events processing to only flush once per
184 display and not once per terminal window.
185 - quite a bit of minor code cleanups and codesize optimisations.
186
1878.7 Sun Nov 25 10:23:49 CET 2007
188 - update libev with an important bugfix that would cause crashes
189 when closing windows (when using rxvtd, and update is recommended).
190 - do not compile in the block builtin graphics with --disable-frills.
191
1928.6 Fri Nov 23 14:10:57 CET 2007
193 - upgrade libev to disable kqueue on anything but netbsd as it
194 seems to be broken everywhere else w.r.t. ptys.
195 - allow for spurious event notifications, as at least epoll and
196 especially solaris ports like to lie about them (symptoms:
197 urxvt "hangs" until there is some x11 related activity).
198 - -keysym command line options are now subjected to xlib parsing.
199 - add 'xrm' option analogous to Xt one.
200
2018.5a Wed Nov 21 10:16:33 CET 2007
202 - make it compile with --disable-transparency.
203
2048.5 Wed Nov 21 05:19:20 CET 2007
205 - expect major portability issues in this release: please test and report.
206 - converted from the veritable io manager event loop to
207 the high performance libev (http://software.schmorp.de/pkg/libev).
208 - minor tuning to the perl selection (include single words and more quoting chars).
209 - fix memory leak in pixmap code.
210 - fix a serious bug while setting the XIM destroy callback
211 on (typical) 64 bit systems.
212 - automove-background functionality re-implemented internally using :root op in pixmap
213 geometry string. For example: rxvt -pixmap "image.jpg;:root"
214 - do not link rxvtc against every lib on the planet anymore.
215 - parallel builds should work once more.
216
2178.4 Sat Oct 27 14:02:13 CEST 2007
218 - overhaul of the transparency/pixmap code (sasha).
219 - fix possible race between visual bell and poweron.
220 (reported by Martin von Gagern, gentoo?).
221 - urxvt -e no longer crashes the child.
222 - fixed some minor memleaks on incorrect usage or
223 missing DISPLAY.
224 - implement xterm 1002/1003 mouse tracking modes (exg).
225 - source code organisational cleanups (exg).
226 - updated io_manager.
227
2288.3 Wed Aug 1 20:21:31 CEST 2007
229 - new option: skipScroll/-ss, enabled by default.
230 - go with the times and expect x11 library files in /usr/lib, not
231 /usr/X11R6/lib.
232 - initial transparency improvement/afterimage support
233 patch by Sasha Vasko.
234 - add urgentOnBell resource to set the urgency hint
235 (patch by Philip Paeps).
236 - do not process focus events caused by grabs
237 (patch by Mikachu).
238 - add iso14755_52 resource to disable iso14755 5.2 (exg).
239 - add binding for backspace in iso14755 5.1 to remove the last
240 digit (exg).
241 - better option handling, support more than 30 options (exg).
242 - nuke reconf script, serves no purpose anymore.
243 - fixed and documented matcher/on_user_command processing in matcher
244 extension (tpope).
245 - compile out of the box on Solaris 10 (exg).
246 - fix MappingNotify events (reported by Stephan Walter).
247 - zero-initialise mwmhints, this seems to solve all sorts of minor
248 problems.
249
2508.2 Sat Feb 17 21:35:28 CET 2007
251 - fix make depend in src/, reported by exg.
252 - fixed typo in urxvt::GET_CUSTOM, causing the result to be wrong.
253 (patch by Sergey Vlasov).
254 - unbundled iom perl interface somewhat.
255 - scrollbar-xterm now uses the selected scrollColor instead of fg
256 (found by Aiviru).
257 - disabled linux kernel bug workaround again: disabling it gives
258 a 50% speed hit on affected machines, while enabling it gives
259 a similar speed hit to screen, which is likely the more common
260 case to work around for :/
261 - urxvt::rend2mask perl function, and utilization of it by matcher
262 (patch by Moshe Kamensky).
263 - use perl:matcher on a keysym to open most recently displayed URL.
264 - with matcher, when multiple patterns match, last wins, not first.
265 - fix make and make install with srcdir != builddir (exg).
266 - updated bundled libptytty to fix a bug where the tty would be kept
267 open (see the libptytty ChangeLog for details).
268 - delay setting the IUTF8 flag to after the tty settings have been
269 set so its value does not get lost (reported and analysed by Andrei
270 Paskevich).
271 - rip out support for obsolete sgtty.h interface.
272 - rip out support for non-POSIX termios variants.
273 - update libptytty.
274 - update iom.C, make it call ptytty::sanitise_stdfd on init.
275 - when !XFT, change rounding of colours to use a less correct formula to
276 meet user expectancies (#aaa becomes #a000a000a000 not #9f9f9f9f9f9f).
277 - change the starting offset of the pixmap set with backgroundPixmap
278 from (50,50) to (0,0) (exg).
279 - fix a typo in button_release, now meta-button2 request the value of
280 the Clipboard selection as it should (patch by Serge Koksharov).
281 - fix a bug in drawing a cell with a nonspacing char when using an xft
282 font with inheritPixmap and tintColor (exg).
283
2848.1 Thu Dec 7 22:27:25 CET 2006
285 - ｹﾘｽﾏｽﾌ゚ﾚｾ゙ﾝﾄ - zomg!!1, it's too early!!!
286 - fix the assumption that chars < 256 are single-width. Now
287 only assume this for codepoints 32 to 126 (reported by Dai.H.).
288 - $term->strwidth returned wide chars as width 1, because some jerk
289 confused min and max. Fixing this also fixes xim-onthespot.
290 Reported by Takano Akio.
291 - secondaryScroll is now enabled by default (as per the manpage),
292 reported by exg.
293 - correct the description of [percent]color rgba format in the manpage.
294 - incorporated macosx-clipboard extension by Samuel Ljungkvist.
295 - ignore (some) useless focus events (reported by mmc).
296 - updated compose table to unicode 5.0.0.
297
2988.0 Thu Nov 2 18:35:19 CET 2006
299 - combining characters cleared the area instead of creating an overlay,
300 thus losing the ability to draw combining characters properly in most
301 circumstances (reported by exg).
302 - specified fonts were incorrectly morphed to bold/italic according to the
303 basefont, even if explicitly specified (tracked down by tpope).
304 - fixed urxvt::strwidth to calculate width in the same way as screen.C.
305 - fix a crash caused by passing negative widths to overlay functions.
306 - added 'matcher' extension by tpope, replacing the mark-urls extension.
307 - improve url regex to match anything www.* (tpope).
308 - fixed bug with outline cursor color being wrong after xft fonts.
309 - update to libptytty-1.0.
310 - give proper diagnostic when RXVT_SOCKET is too long instead of
311 corrupting the stack (patch by exg).
312 - display current terminal locale in option menu.
313 - urxvtd no longer crashes when the client sends an inaccessible
314 working directory (reported by Roland Baer, possibly fixes gentoo
315 bug #143985).
316 - fixed many minor issues reported by Roland Baer.
317 - Leonid Khramov spotted a minor glitch in rxvtfont.C that
318 should not have any consequences, but was buggy nonetheless.
319 - manpage fix by exg.
320
3217.9 Mon Aug 7 18:16:07 CEST 2006
322 - fix the crashing bug people encountered with 7.8 + urxvtd + perl
323 + transparency. Ought to fix debian bug #380348.
324 - fix urxvtc.1.pod: it actually claimed -pty-fd would not work. But
325 it does! :->
326 - rxvt_fatal() in case the locale string is too long for our static buffer.
327 - fixed many, many, typos in the manpages (patch supplied by ves).
328
3297.8 Mon Jul 17 21:00:46 CEST 2006
330 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: this version will always read ~/.Xdefaults,
331 earlier versions only read it if display-resources (usually from
332 .Xresources) are not set. This avoids the #1 FAQ ("why isn't my
333 resource used") and seems to be logical behaviour, too. .Xdefaults
334 resources have a lower priority than display-specific resources.
335 - add "kuake" perl extension that does a similar thing to the kuake
336 terminal emulator (see man urxvtperl).
337 - use less "correct" color scaling that is compatible with libX11 and
338 Xft (avoids off-by-one colors resulting in striped backgrounds).
339 - the "depth" resource is now respected.
340 - preset the searchable-scrollback pattern with "(?i)" to default search
341 to case-insensitivity. Will automatically be cleared when typing an
342 uppercase character.
343 - add FORCE_UNBUFFERED_XFT define to features.h.
344 - re-enabled highlightcolor support with --enable-frills, based on
345 a patch by Martin Stubenschrott.
346 - double-buffered xft drawing did suffer from pixel offset issues
347 when pixmap transparency was enabled.
348 - strategically add # to the url-match regexes, as we really want to
349 match common URIs not common URLs. Reported by Aaron Griffin.
350 - moved on_osc_seq to on_osc_seq_perl and added a more
351 generic osc_seq.
352 - fix a bug causing double callback invocations when perl hooks
353 were invoked recursively.
354 - the automove-background extension now properly works when the
355 pixmap gets reset with an osc sequence (sqweek).
356 - selection-pastebin did not work properly with non-latin1-characters.
357 - apply colorUL only when the text colour is the default fg
358 (patch by Wu Fengguang).
359 - removed rxvtlib.h from the tarball, it had no reason to be there
360 (spotted by Decklin Foster).
361 - fix compiling with TRANSPARENT but !XPM_BACKGROUND, as reported
362 by omatunto_.
363 - slap in a using namespace std, might help on platforms that don't
364 follow C++ closely enough.
365 - fix mailto url regex, spotted within milliseconds by Jost Krieger.
366 - applied fade_color_update_func.patch by WU Fengguang.
367 - fix a bug where (due to an optimisation in av_delete), hiding the
368 bottom-most overlay would hide two overlays.
369
3707.7 Tue Feb 21 12:32:49 CET 2006
371 - use double-buffered drawing (xft fonts only). On many driver/hardware
372 combination this actually increases xft drawing speed, at the expense
373 of more network bandwidth and slight nausea on the side of the author.
374 - readline perl extension now requires shift-click instead of a normal
375 click, and eats the click.
376 - tabbed perl extension now supports -e.
377 - disabled graphics-exposures on the main drawing GC, report any
378 refresh bugs please.
379 - improve property handling for -pe tabbed: avoid unnecessary property
380 changes (for kde's benefit) at the expense of extra round-trips,
381 improve size hint setting.
382 - modified XIM according to a patch sent by Takano Akio that sets
383 the preedit rectangle for OverTheSpot, which helps some input methods
384 to correctly position their preedit window.
385 - un-optimise the line clearing on newly scrolled-in lines a bit: the
386 former reasoning was that any fg colour on default bg looks the same
387 in empty spaces, but that's not true when reversing (e.g. selection),
388 so also check for matching fg colours. This fixes the problem where
389 selecting newly scrolled-in lines would exhibit wrong colours.
390 - fix a bug in the perl interface causing focus in events to generate
391 focus out perl events, causing bad focus effects with -pe tabbed.
392 - fix a race resulting in a crash on exiting.
393 - fix a with --disable-xft that caused xfreecolors to be called on
394 colors never allocated, resulting in aborts (reported by Paco-Paco).
395 - resources on non-initial screens weren't refetched correctly
396 (reported by Paco-Paco).
397 - fix a bug in xcopyarea pass and _disable_ it, as it seems not to be
398 working in either rxvt-unicode nor in the original rxvt.
399 - removed undocumented -exec alias for the -e option.
400
4017.6 Fri Feb 10 08:52:36 CET 2006
402 - changed interpretation of [alpha] colour prefix.
403 - +option now really sets the option to default, instead of using the
404 resource value.
405 - options that require an argument now really _require_ an argument.
406 - the tabbed extension now forwards focus and key events to the
407 relevant tab window.
408 - tab colours are now configurable and have sensible defaults
409 (initial patch by hednod).
410 - option menu is extendable, readline, selection and
411 selection-autotransform can now be disabled/enabled at runtime.
412 - forcing a configure event to tabbed subwindows with -pe tabbed, for
413 the benefit of automove-background.
414 - the automove-background extension added a wrong constant offset.
415 - force refresh of XA_RESOURCE_STRING on virtual reconnect.
416 - return exit status 2 in urxvtc when urxvtd couldn't be contacted.
417 - the linux yield hack is back, now using usleep, and enabled only on
418 __linux__.
419 - further round trip eliminations in the !XFT case by remembering
420 the colour components.
421 - plain scrollbar works better with -sr.
422 - fixed half-shadow scrollbar look.
423 - more colour rtt optimisations.
424 - properly(?) free colours on window close.
425 - reorganised the FAQ into multiple sections.
426 - add ISO646.1991-IRV to the list of supported codesets.
427 - minor libptytty update.
428
4297.5 Tue Jan 31 15:15:43 CET 2006
430 - further improvements to the careful mode detection, and font width
431 detection:
432 - fully double-wide fonts will now be correctly treated,
433 - overlap detection was improved.
434 - detect totally broken fonts (usually synthesized by xft).
435 - careful mode forced refresh sometimes clashed with blinking,
436 causing unnecessary screen redraws.
437 - better handling of XFT combining characters.
438 - enable antialiasing for some replacement fonts, as they
439 might get used for other encodings which really need it, later.
440 - remove spacing=100 from all default fonts, as this creates totally
441 weird spacing (5 times normal) with xft.
442 - removed iso10646 fallback, as xorgs iso10646 encoded fonts are mostly
443 broken.
444 - removed gnu unifont fallback, all combining characters are broken.
445 - replace named colours by xorg's rgb.txt equivalents, to
446 reduce round trip time on startup, and short-cut allocation
447 of rgb:rr/gg/bb for xft.
448 - short-cut allocation of rgb values in the xlib case
449 (patch by Paco-Paco).
450 - overhauled color management: smaller codesize, alpha support.
451 - support "rgba:rrrr/gggg/bbbb/aaaa" color specifications and
452 an "[alpha]" prefix.
453 - try to work around Xft and Xrender forcing everything to be 100%
454 transparent. Long Live Xft!
455 - do not include X11/Intrinsic.h anymore, directly use
456 Xlib/Xutil/Xresource directly.
457 - try to find a nearest matching color when color allocation fails
458 on a pseudocolor screen.
459 - SYNCCVS: compared to rxvt-cvs 2006-01-28, no relevant changes.
460 - fix version report (DA) (which was unfortunately broken).
461 - changed version number report again, now to emulate xterm closer.
462 - added the OSC sequence 702 to detect the urxvt version number.
463 - small configure updates.
464 - further RTT optimisations.
465 - backported clean-up patches for makefiles and documentation from
466 the debian package.
467 - updated doc/rxvt-unicode.spec file. It's still not maintained here,
468 but much newer than the old one.
469
4707.4 Sat Jan 28 15:26:27 CET 2006
471 - screen background wasn't always erased properly when scrolling,
472 - re-enabled clearing optimisation disabled in 7.4pre.
473 - small configure updates for libptytty.
474 - fixed version options: line output.
475 - removed stoopid debugging message left in the code.
476
4777.3 Wed Jan 25 22:47:35 CET 2006
478 - don't let iso14755 or mouse reporting get into the way of perl
479 (could lead to global grabs never being cleared).
480 - experimental OnTheSpot editing support (-pe xim-onthespot).
481 - moved Shift-Button2 paste combination to Meta-Button2.
482 - the cutchars resource will now be respected and used by the
483 selection extension.
484 - added the "remote-clipboard" extension which just runs external
485 commands to fetch and store the selection data.
486 - added -depth switch that tries to get a different visual depth
487 than the default (replaces the old PREFER_24_BIT logic).
488 - removed (unused) arabic presentation form composing sequences.
489 - be more strict when deciding that a core font glyph is too wide and
490 needs the careful rendering mode.
491 - allow more leeway for italic fonts when deciding that a character is
492 too wide and needs careful mode.
493 - redraw even more characters around characters using careful mode.
494 - made selection-pastebin fully asynchronous.
495 - reduced number of server turnarounds at startup by allocating
496 atoms only once per display.
497 - renamed on_keyboard_command to on_user_command.
498 - changed version sos (ESC [ > c) response to be more compatible with
499 xterm.
500
5017.2 Sun Jan 22 21:58:16 CET 2006
502 - bugfix: urxvt (not urxvtd) did not correctly handle multiple
503 environments necessary, which resulted in segfaults within
504 getenv (reproducable: urxvt -fn 9x15, open a menu once,
505 ctrl-shift-672c).
506 - bugfix: the selection speedup in in 7.1 unfortunately caused
507 non-ascii characters to enlarge/move the selection.
508 - bugfix: resizing sometimes leaked lines from the secondary to
509 the primary screen.
510 - bugfix: reducing window size while large amounts of text were output
511 could lead to an assertion failure.
512 - added "tabbed" extension that provides a crude tabbed terminal.
513 - added "readline" extension that allows cursor positioning
514 via mouse clicks.
515 - now it is possible to insert the value of the CLIPBOARD selection
516 with shift - mouse button 2.
517 - fixed the automove-background extension to ignore coordinates
518 in non-synthetic events.
519 - created a separate libpty for portable and secure
520 pty/tty/utmp/wtmp/lastlog handling, and include it in rxvt-unicode.
521 - the non-terminfo visual bell now works asynchronously, so
522 continuous ASCI BELs in one terminal do no longer monopolise the
523 whole urxvt[d] process.
524 - support some *BSD makes (for the time being, gnu make is a safe bet).
525 - work around bugs in FreeBSD's gcc.
526 - implemented some *BSD fixes in configure.
527 - removed support for obsolete offix dnd protocol.
528
5297.1 Thu Jan 19 20:25:34 CET 2006
530 - setuid/setgid operation is now _encouraged_: security has been
531 improved by moving privileged operations into a separate process
532 and permanently dropping privileges within the terminal. This
533 makes it possible to remove security checks from the perl code
534 and gives a much safer feeling when urxvt needs to run with
535 special privileges.
536 - perl taint checking disabled, as urxvt no longer runs setuid/setgid
537 itself.
538 - new perl extension automove-background that can be used to get
539 the same effect as pseudo-transparency with any pixmap.
540 - new perl extension example: perl/selection-pastebin, can be used to
541 e.g. upload the selection to a webserver and generate a url, or
542 similar stuff.
543 - use the scrollback buffer even when the scroll region doesn't
544 span the whole screen, as long as it starts at row 0. Helps
545 for programs displaying a status line at the bottom.
546 - selection popup now shows selection in dec/hex/oct.
547 - perl/selection: matching on unicode characters in the selection
548 code was O(n²), which equals infinity in some degenerate cases
549 :-> Matching is now done on UTF-8, which makes it almost instant.
550 - perl/selection, perl/selection-autotransform: regexes are now
551 being interpreted in the locale urxvt was started.
552 - implemented override-redirect option and enabled it on menus,
553 as kwin puts our windows behind the terminal (what a shoddy wm).
554 - fixed struct utmp check in configure for OpenBSD.
555 - complete overhaul of the pty/utmp management stuff and configure
556 (Emanuele Giaquinta=exg).
557 - add tsl/fsl and related capabilities to the terminfo description,
558 to set the window title.
559 - swap the environment in some more cases. This hopefully fixes
560 some segfaults that might be caused by xft asking for env variables
561 at the wrong time.
562 - removed src/strings.C and src/menubar.C. No menubar support
563 anymore.
564 - removed all traces of SMOOTH_REFRESH.
565 - nuked QNX support.
566 - made some fixes to xpm offset and scaling code.
567 - perl-overlays and refresh hooks were not applied in correct order.
568 - changed coordinate-system of view_start/nsaved to be top to bottom.
569 - iom extended to support listening for child exits.
570
5717.0 Fri Jan 13 14:02:18 CET 2006
572 - added sections for DISTRIBUTION MAINTAINERS and about
573 SETUID/SETGID to the FAQ.
574 - selection, searchable-scrollback, selection-popup and
575 option-popup extensions enabled by default.
576 - increased xft drawing speed for problematic fonts. The effect
577 will likely be small as 99% of the xft slowness is server-related.
578 - perl: much increased functionality, better overlays, popup support
579 and much much more.
580 - perl: urxvt::line now can set via ->t and ->r.
581 - perl: changed interpretation of --perl-ext-common and -pe.
582 - perl: finally implemented --perl-eval.
583 - perl: non-blocking anyevent support.
584 - perl: run tainted and ignore perl-eval/perl-lib if started
585 setuid/setgid.
586 - free the resource database: this plugs a massive memory leak. As a
587 side effect, it also gets rid of XGetDefault calls.
588 - free one of the cursors, fixes a small memory leak.
589 - built-in (as opposed to terminfos) visual bell was broken/too fast.
590 - applied minor cleanups by Ladislav Michnovic.
591 - applied pty handling cleanups and improvements (Emanuele Giaquinta).
592 - mark-urls launch-on-click by jepler.
593 - removed "small" resource parsing function, as it wasn't really
594 compatible, and not really small either.
595 - removed PATH_ENV and PATH file search support.
596 - removed support for locale-specific app-defaults file.
597 - fixed a bug where out-of-bounds colour sequences could lead
598 to crashes.
599 - limit colour changing to the standard 88 palette instead of all
600 colours.
601 - XTerm_Color01 sequence returned wrong results in query mode.
602 - iom.C now checks against destructed io_manager when unregistering.
603
6046.3 Wed Jan 4 22:37:10 CET 2006
605 - SECURITY FIX: on systems using openpty, permissions were
606 not correctly updated on the tty device and were left as
607 world-readable and world-writable (likely in original rxvt,
608 too), and were not restored properly. Affected are only
609 systems where non-unix ptys were used (such as most BSDs, not
610 GNU/Linux). (found, patched and debugged by Ryan Beasley).
611 - meta8 support was forcefully enabled in most configurations.
612 restored configurability of this (useless) feature (reported
613 by Mikachu).
614 - optionally embed a perl interpreter, which can be used for more
615 intelligent/customized selection support, visual feedback,
616 menus, tabs etc. See the the urxvtperl manpage, the -pe option,
617 perl*-resources and keysym resources. Not everything is there yet.
618 - try to be more clever about differing font sizes and their ascent.
619 Not guarenteed to work, but works better in most cases now.
620 - fix directory permissions on install.
621 - implemented option to disable built-in line drawing characters
622 and fall back to the font ones (patch by Martin Pohlack).
623 - disabled sched_yield support: the linux version is just too useless
624 (it schedules nice'd processes before the own one for extended
625 periods). Too bad, it could reduce system time by a factor of 5 here.
626
6276.2 Mon Jan 2 16:03:01 CET 2006
628 - implemented intensityStyles option which enables/disables bold/blink
629 selecting high intensity foreground/background colours, suggested by
630 Chuck Blake.
631 - move iso14755 character feedback box out of the way if it would
632 obscure the mouse cursor position.
633 - replaced callback.h by a fixed version from gvpe that correctly
634 returns the callback result (affects new -pty-fd semantics in urxvtc
635 on a few architectures). Reported by darix.
636 - include one trailing space in rectangular selections to indicate
637 the inserted newline (yeah, weird, but visually more pleasing).
638 - try to use sched_yield to (drastically) improve terminal data
639 transfer efficiency.
640 - further minor cleanups.
641
6426.1 Tue Dec 27 13:23:40 CET 2005
643 - update iso8859-7 table (euro and drachma round-trip et al.).
644 - fix a crash when the selection scrolls out of the scrollback
645 while the user still drags.
646 - selections that were partially scrolled out of the window were
647 not drawn correctly.
648 - lines newly scrolled in were not initialized properly, leading
649 to extremely long lines and (hopefully) some segfaults.
650 - iso14755 overlay position was wrong.
651 - iso14755 overlay now displays rendition info, too.
652 - use unicode white space class instead of hardcoded values for
653 stripping whitespace.
654 - do whitespace stripping on rectangular selections.
655 - slight cleanups in src/features.h.
656
6576.0 Sat Dec 24 13:58:56 CET 2005
658 - make it compile without SMART_RESIZE again.
659 - enable slow link support by default.
660 - fix relative cursor-positioning not respecting scrolling regions
661 (also a bug in original rxvt).
662 - initialize termios structure to zero when fetching it fails
663 (see http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=84647 for a
664 partial patch).
665 - bump max columns/rows to 10000 each.
666 - bump max savelines to 10000000.
667 - -pty-fd now passes the urxvtc fd to the urxvtd process.
668 - avoid linking against -lnsl/-lsocket/-lxpg4 unless neccessary.
669 - major code cleanup (still not complete, though).
670 - implement -hold option.
671 - _major_ rewrite of internal buffer handling:
672 - re-flow on resize, lines get wrapped instead of winged.
673 - circular line buffer (substantially speeds up scrolling).
674 - slightly less code + data memory usage per terminal.
675 - slight overall speed improvements.
676 - considerably improved code clarity.
677 - partial-screen scrolls no longer end up in the scrollback
678 buffer.
679
6805.9 Sat Dec 17 21:53:17 CET 2005
681 - fix a bug in the menu code of unknown impact, found by darix.
682 - clean up signal handling to be global, not per terminal
683 (matters only for rxvtd).
684 - fix small typoe in rxvt.1 (found by Mike Fabian).
685 - don't crash when broken xft/fontconfig/freetype versions return
686 bogus data, ignore the xft font instead (experienced on suse).
687
6885.8 Tue Oct 25 22:21:45 CEST 2005
689 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: many configure options are now on by default.
690 If you want the old behaviour, try:
691 configure --disable-everything <your enable options>
692 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: -fade changed it's meaning to comply with
693 the documentation and common sense: when upgrading, replace your
694 percentage by 100-percentage.
695 - integrated "fade to specific colour" patch by Martin Parm.
696 - slow down the internal visual bell (delay by 20ms) and update
697 the terminfo flash code to use the same delay. This is
698 synchronous, so many bells might inhibit screen updates in other
699 windows.
700 - text with background==foreground colour gets displayed with default
701 bg/fg now when in reverse video, so it can be seen when selecting.
702 - allow koi8r* as x11 encoding name for koi8r (Nikita Danilov).
703 - removed undocumented inheritPixmapforce option.
704 - replaced INSTALL file.
705
7065.7 Wed Jul 13 04:46:33 CEST 2005
707 - implement some useful (hopefully) options for rxvtd.
708 - separate and improved rxvtc(1) and rxvtd(1) manpages.
709 - fix a bug that caused segfaults on startup on systems that do
710 not support local unix connections, e.g cygwin. (btw, I didn't
711 even know about the -rootless and -multiwindow Cygwin/X modes).
712 - large amounts of text without control sequences or newlines
713 could almost freeze output. This has been fixed by adding extra
714 refreshes in these cases (also a problem in original rxvt).
715
7165.6 Sun Jun 26 22:11:13 CEST 2005
717 - R_SB_RXVT bitset value was 0, so rxvt scrollbar was initialised
718 every time resulting in display errors (original rxvt also affected).
719 Reported by Jasmin Buchert.
720 - font names are now considered to be utf-8 encoded (xft apperently
721 uses this convention. X Core fonts might not, but it should be rare).
722 Affects display in iso14755 box.
723 - rewrote the low-level xft drawing function ("xft backend" for the
724 hipper parts of the world) to hopefully cope better with proportional
725 chars mixed with fixed-width ones.
726 - rxvt is now much more careful (read: slower) with potentially
727 overlapping xft characters. It usually overshoots and redraws
728 more than required, but that's better than undershooting and
729 cutting pieces off of characters.
730 - rxvt is now more restrictive in what font heights it accepts for
731 fonts that will likely overshoot or undershoot lines.
732 - fix a cosmetic problem with the unfocused cursor on a wide character
733 at the end of the line (reported by Mikachu).
734 - wide characters not fitting into the end of the line will be
735 output in the next line (reported by Mikachu).
736 - added doc/solaris9.patch by Ewgenij Starostin.
737
7385.5 Sat Apr 23 22:31:36 CEST 2005
739 - re-enabled modifer state matching as in 5.3, but implement
740 a new builtin: keysym style that simply reverts to the built-in
741 meaning of the given key.
742 - use scrollcolor for next scrollbar instead of hardcoded antiquewhite
743 (patch by Martin Edlman).
744
7455.4 Mon Apr 18 00:33:31 CEST 2005
746 - match modifier state exactly in custom keyboard code.
747 this is necessary because it has no knowledge about
748 built-in mappings and so will overwrite them. the priority-code
749 will be re-enabled when this has changed, so watch out.
750 - cursor blinking now depends on frills.
751 - underline cursor mode (frills, -uc).
752 - implement special value (*g*) for pointerBlankDelay
753 to disable it.
754
7555.3 Sun Mar 13 00:20:44 CET 2005
756 - fix a bug that allowed to overflow a buffer via a long
757 escape sequence, which is probably exploitable (fix by
758 Rob Holland / Yoann Vandoorselaere / Gentoo Audit Team).
759 - Custom key mappings no longer confuse mouse buttons
760 with modifiers.
761 - use XmbSetWMProperties instead of XSetWMProperties.
762 - properly update WM_LOCALE.
763 - implement _NET_WM_PING protocol.
764 - implemented escape sequences to move the scrollback buffer view
765 and clear the scrollback buffer.
766
7675.2 Sun Feb 20 01:48:59 CET 2005
768 - new option -pty-fd that makes the terminal a slave
769 that uses an existing pty for I/O instead of starting
770 a command.
771 - implement enough of XEMBED to allow for correct focus.
772 - added doc/embed-tk, an embedding example in Perl/Tk,
773 and doc/rxvt-tabbed, a primitive tabbed shell implemented
774 in Perl/Gtk2.
775 - fix assertion failure ("crash") on mousewheel-scrolling
776 when the terminal height is small, by removing the assert.
777 (reported by Mikael Magnusson=Mikachu).
778 - SYNCCVS. backported bugfixes done to rxvt
779 (sourceforge bugs #1028739, #1028732), except for
780 pts/%s fix as it seems to collide with freebsd,
781 and sourceforge bug #954654, which is not neccessary.
782 - change terminfo file to not clobber G1 when using
783 line-drawing characters, as this seems to mess
784 with EUC-JP (it will clobber G0, but G0 practically
785 needs to be US-ASCII all the time).
786 - toggle default application keypad/cursor mode to help
787 some apps who fail to set the correct mode.
788 - check for WM_PROTOCOLS type in ClientMessage as to
789 not destroy the window for other types of messages.
790 - remove shared library (or any library) support - it is
791 of no use currently (and -embed is a better way to embed
792 rxvt-unicode).
793 - get rid of the intpro files.
794
7955.1 Tue Feb 15 17:13:27 CET 2005
796 - fix a bug when parsing fontnames and another one
797 for empty keymaps which could result in crashes
798 (Kuang-che Wu).
799 - new option: -embed (frills). somebody could write a simple
800 tk script to make a tab'able terminal now...
801 - only warn on X errors and _try_ to continue (frills).
802 - add COPYING back, which got lost somehow.
803 - after deciding that LSM is dead, remove all traces of it,
804 along with other, similar, cleanups.
805 - _try_ to react sensibly to some non-monotonic time changes.
806 - don't crash in urxvtc when getcwd fails (reported by Paco-Paco).
807 - tweak font searching algorithm a bit to be faster and more
808 compatible with older rxvt-unicode versions when multiple fonts
809 match (reported by Paco-Paco).
810 - urxvtd tries to stay in "/" whenever possible.
811
8125.0 Fri Feb 11 18:31:48 CET 2005
813 - document a race-free hack to start urxvtd.
814 - document all(?) environment variables used and set by rxvt.
815 - bring xgetdefault-style resource file ordering more in line with
816 Xt, and document it in rxvt(1).
817 - correctly use screen-dependent resources when --enable-xgetdefault,
818 and also fix some memory bugs (thanks to Thierry Reding for
819 his patience and time in tracking this down).
820 - bring own resource parsing more in line with X resource parsing,
821 most notably, don't remove double quotes.
822 - compile fix for freebsd (no ut_id) (Thierry Thomas).
823 - clean up utmp and pty on X I/O errors and signals (idea
824 by Joël Riou).
825 - "un"document -xrm, it never really worked, was only
826 available with --enable-xgetdefault, is not necessary
827 and is surprisingly hard to implement.
828 - shaved off some code segment size.
829 - various code cleanups.
830 - more keysym-mapping fixes.
831
8324.9 Thu Feb 3 09:52:03 CET 2005
833 - nuke out utmp entries completely. Should be fixed in
834 original rxvt, too. (reported by James Michael Fultz).
835 - resizes wil now correctly refresh the displayed text when
836 -pixmap is active.
837 - new option/resource imFont.
838 - document --tripleclickwords/-tcw.
839 - select logical instead of physical lines when doing a triple-click.
840 - reordered help listing to group similar options together.
841 - handle SIGINT the same way as SIGTERM (reported by Joël Riou).
842 - fix a bug introduced while applying the keyboard patch
843 (WU Fengguang).
844 - document all window-op sequences (rxvt.7.) and more keysym
845 examples (rxvt.1).
846 - removed src/test completely.
847 - renamed keysym 'proto:'-prefix to 'command:'.
848
8494.8 Tue Jan 18 02:23:57 CET 2005
850 - added a patch by WU Fengguang that makes the keyboard
851 highly configurable (e.g. locale changes, custom escape
852 sequences, and more). See keysym resource in rxvt(1).
853 - remove default key sequence for unknown keys again, as this
854 can be achieved by customizing the keyboard now.
855 - fix some freeing problems when destroying the rxvt_display,
856 resulting in segfaults.
857 - don't crash when the saved cursor position doesn't fit on the
858 screen (wrong assert in original rxvt, reported by ikaro).
859 - fix signed/unsigned bugs on wc<->mb conversions.
860 - reset slipwheel scrolling speed when reaching the top or bottom
861 (Mikael Magnusson).
862 - for core fonts, use ascent + descent when a font is loaded,
863 and PIXEL_SIZE when not. when loading a font, iterate until a
864 font has been found that _really_ fits the height (reported and
865 tested by Olivier Wittenberg).
866 - set IUTF8 input flag, when defined (linux-2.6.5+).
867 - only define _XOPEN_SOURCE on solaris.
868 - autogenerate src/* dependency list.
869 - fixed linespace option, which ought to work now (and is dependent
870 on frills, not on it's own configure option).
871 - include pty.h, if available (cygwin).
872 - removed W11 directory from dist, it wasn't used anyway.
873 - initialize the locale much earlier.
874 - fixed two tiny per-instance memory leaks.
875
8764.7 Wed Dec 29 20:54:24 CET 2004
877 - fix a bug in the event logic that could cause the temrinal to be
878 black on initial startup.
879 - do NOT call XCloseIM, ever. This causes way to many crashes due to
880 races in the protocol and within Xlib.
881 - map iso-left-tab to the same sequence as shift-tab.
882 - generate a unique escape sequence for many unknown keys, such as
883 additional multimedia keys.
884 - mask out high (non-unicode) bits on wide characters, to cope with
885 implementations that store tag info in the high bits.
886
