249.07 Wed Dec 30 07:07:18 CET 2009
25 - port to glibc-2.10 changes (strchr etc. returning const char *
26 in C++), based on patches by Milos Jakubicek and Oliver Mader.
27 - the binary search algorithm to find precomposed characters
28 was faulty, skipping some possible combinations (found by
29 Mikachu).
30 - new -letterspace option, patch by Mark H. Wilkinson.
31 - enable --mlock option for urxvt with frills on
32 systems supporting it (patch by Russell Harmon).
33 - urxvt did not compile without frills enabled
34 (analysed by Matthew Rosewarne).
35 - correctly reset the mbstate after an illegal
36 input sequence when handling terminal output (Emanuele Giaquinta).
37 - avoid redrawing wide characters with combining enabled on every
38 refresh (reported by Mikachu).
39 - fix a typo preventing the ISO-646.1991 character set from being
40 recognized (http://achurch.org/patch-pile/).
41 - better warning for x11 font encoding detection failures, also,
42 try to deduce encoding from both font properties and name
43 (adapted from http://achurch.org/patch-pile/).
44 - resizing the window with the scrollbar disabled via the escapes
45 sequence could make the window bigger again (Mikachu).
46 - make sure the alignment for fd passing control messages
47 is correct and work around some NetBSD issues (Taylor R Campbell).
48 - update to libptytty 1.3.
49 - replace maxosc-pastebin by a nicer version by Reza Jelveh, and move
50 the old version to macosx-pastebin-native.
51 - document the -uc option (Emanuele Giaquinta).
52 - assertions in libev are now enabled depending on frills.
53 - update AnyEvent implementation to version 5.23 API.
54 - work around arrogant bsd idiocies again: netbsd spills the default
55 namespace with lots of symbols "for gnu/gcc compatibility" even
56 though neither of them does it, and then calls the rest of the world
57 in need of fixing. go figure.
58 - on_keyboard_command is on_user_command (patch by Michael Witten).
59 - setting the selection from perl will now reset the selection screen
60 to the current screen. the srceen can be manipulated using
61 the new ->selection_screen method.
62 - implement --enable-assert configure option and get rid of DEBUG_STRICT
63 (based on patch by Emanuele Giaquinta).
64 - fix printpipe data output (patch by Emanuele Giaquinta).
65 - allow `xxx' quoting style for perl selection.
66 - upgrade to libev-3.9 prerelease.
67 - updated compose tables to unicode 5.2.0.
68
699.06 Sat Nov 8 17:47:18 CET 2008
70 - NOTICE: this release updates terminfo/termcap.
71 - updates libev to 3.48.
72 - the aterm code now frees the as visual and image manager objects
73 when a window was closed.
74 - do not (wrongly) adjust the virtual line length inside
75 scr_insdel_chars/ERASE (Miroslav Lichvar).
76 - fix an issue where wide tab characters caused character shifts
77 when part of them was deleted (tracked down by Miroslav Lichvar).
78 - artificially enlargen the previous character at the end of a line
79 when trying to output a character that doesn't fit. looks ugly, but
80 makes copy&paste work.
81 - remove bogus "setuid/setgid security issues" from rxvt.1.pod, they
82 no longer apply.
83 - the urgency hint is now cleared on both focus in and focus out.
84 - cache urgency hint locally to avoid server rtt on every focus change.
85 - perl 5.10 needs PERL_SYS_INIT3 on hppa.
86 - ignore byte-order marks and do not treat them like combining characters.
87 - fix build issue when CURSOR_BLINK is not defined (Emanuele Giaquinta).
88 - do some µ-optimisations to the character fast path.
89 - use a less cunning, but more robust algorithm to avoid one terminal
90 monopolising the whole process by outputting a lot of text.
91 - try to work around linux first breaking sched_yield and now breaking
92 the only known workaround.
93 - new option -icon to set _NET_WM_ICON (based on patch by Frank Schmitt).
94 - initialise the as visual only on demand, instead of unconditionally,
95 to save memory in the common case of not using visual gimmicks.
96 - try to work around bugs in a few wm's that errornously resize
97 client windows on hint property updates by temporarily
98 disabling size hints.
99 - implement the DECSTR soft reset sequence and use it for tput init,
100 and make hard RIS and DECSTR both reset more private modes, such
101 as mouse reporting.
102 - redundantly clear mouse reporting and a few other states in
103 tput init/tput reset, for older urxvts.
104 - partial/full clear screens did cause flickering and possibly pixel
105 droppings when urxvt viewed the scrollback buffer.
106 - use current rendition style in DCH sequence.
107 - the 132/80 mode switch no longer forces a screen reset.
108 - add an osc sequence to change the border colour (Emanuele Giaquinta).
109 - new perl extension "overlay-osc", for status displays and the like.
110 - fix some minor cursor drawing issues with overlays by allowing
111 overlays to modify screen flags (to disable the cursor themselves).
112 - work around programs not restoring rstyle before rmcup
113 (analysed by Miroslav Lichvar).
114
1159.05 Sun Jun 15 20:09:20 CEST 2008
116 - new option --cd/chdir to set the starting working directory.
117 - tabbed extension now starts in the "correct" working directory.
118 - work around fedora 9 providing isastream but not the relevant
119 header file for it (report by Tuncer Ayaz).
120 - upgrade libev, fixing a bug in the select backend.
121 with more than 31 file descriptors on non-linux 64 bit systems.
122 - correctly reset the multibyte state to the initial one
123 after EILSEQ (patch by Neil Booth). This fixes the
124 issue of rxvt-unicode not properly displaying text after an illegal
125 sequence on NetBSD and probably other systems.
126 - more intelligent property handling with -pe tabbed, works around
127 broken window managers (kwm et al.), saves bandwidth and should
128 help working window managers as well.
129 - made tabs moveable (based on a patch by Petr Machata).
130 - implement ESC [ 3 K as a more rational alternative to ESC [ 0 K.
131 - support relative paths for RXVT_SOCKET in urxvtd.
132 - the tabbed extension now blindly copies over all (rxvt-) resources
133 from the toplevel window to the children.
134 - better diagnostic on 0x0 window geometries.
135 - update AnyEvent API to version 3.4 and above.
136 - document the default value of :0 for DISPLAY.
137 - rename perl method XChangeWindowProperty to XChangeProperty.
138
1399.02 Tue Jan 29 11:58:36 CET 2008
140 - the "exg makes everybody happy" release.
141 - fix build with !xft.
142 - always compile in plain style scrollbar (simplifies code and looks great).
143
1449.01 Sat Jan 26 20:49:27 CET 2008
145 - be more aggressive about handling X events, this seems to be required
146 with newer xlibs (should fix the "screen stays black until event is
147 received" problem, again :)
148 - add buffered resource to control xft double-buffering.
149
1509.0 Fri Jan 25 19:34:04 CET 2008
151 - fix a crash bug where urxvtd would crash when urxvtc was called
152 with wrong arguments (I wish debian maintainers in general would
153 report bugs and their proposed fixes to the original package maintainers
154 instead of sitting on them for good measure to see if anybody notices).
155 - drawing xft compose characters was causing garbage to be drawn.
156 - correctly clear xft character background in all cases.
157 - implement bracketed paste mode (xterm private mode 2004).
158 - improve documentation on alpha channel handling, make urxvt
159 work better on servers lacking the RENDER extension when alpha
160 channels or background images are used.
161 - check for refresh after initialising to avoid staying blank
162 till the first event arrives. or so.
163 - the FORCE_UNBUFFERED_XFT feature macro works again.
164 - continuously update transparency while moving/resizing now.
165 - OSC 39/49 are deprecated and aliased to OSC 10/11.
166 - cub1 now acts as advertised (and ignores the "wrapped" state).
167 - the 132/80 mode switch now forces a height of 24, too, and
168 resets the terminal.
169 - scrollbar code cleanups.
170 - stopping children is no longer confused with children exiting.
171 - removed (undocumented) #aarrggbb format.
172 - updated to libev 3.0.
173
1748.9 Mon Dec 24 07:51:40 CET 2007
175 - fix the issue where urxvtd would not immediately close a window
176 when the command exited but only on the next X event.
177 - changed terminfo file not to use application keypad mode.
178 - fix the issue where making a selection in one urxvtd window
179 would not clear it visually in another.
180 - fix an issue of urxvt not getting background pixmap updates
181 and flickering after bg pixmap changes (reported by Mikachu).
182 - fix redraw bug in xterm scrollbar with -sr (reported by Mikachu).
183 - correctly provide dependencies for libev (µikachu).
184 - minor code reorganisations and cleanups.
185 - be more robust in case the urxvt-popup extension cannot be loaded.
186
1878.8 Sat Dec 15 19:40:39 CET 2007
188 - option -C was aliased to all unsupported options, activating
189 options that shouldn't be compiled in, leading to interesting
190 effects.
191 - updated libev, working around a bug in linux 2.4, curing the
192 symptom of urxvt not closing its window on shell exit. also
193 fixes a problem with urxvt not refreshing.
194 - the text blink callback was called even when no blinking
195 text was visible.
196 - pre-8.4 slipwheeling behaviour has been reinstated, with
197 some minor improvements.
198 - streamlined x events processing to only flush once per
199 display and not once per terminal window.
200 - quite a bit of minor code cleanups and codesize optimisations.
201
2028.7 Sun Nov 25 10:23:49 CET 2007
203 - update libev with an important bugfix that would cause crashes
204 when closing windows (when using rxvtd, and update is recommended).
205 - do not compile in the block builtin graphics with --disable-frills.
206
2078.6 Fri Nov 23 14:10:57 CET 2007
208 - upgrade libev to disable kqueue on anything but netbsd as it
209 seems to be broken everywhere else w.r.t. ptys.
210 - allow for spurious event notifications, as at least epoll and
211 especially solaris ports like to lie about them (symptoms:
212 urxvt "hangs" until there is some x11 related activity).
213 - -keysym command line options are now subjected to xlib parsing.
214 - add 'xrm' option analogous to Xt one.
215
2168.5a Wed Nov 21 10:16:33 CET 2007
217 - make it compile with --disable-transparency.
218
2198.5 Wed Nov 21 05:19:20 CET 2007
220 - expect major portability issues in this release: please test and report.
221 - converted from the veritable io manager event loop to
222 the high performance libev (http://software.schmorp.de/pkg/libev).
223 - minor tuning to the perl selection (include single words and more quoting chars).
224 - fix memory leak in pixmap code.
225 - fix a serious bug while setting the XIM destroy callback
226 on (typical) 64 bit systems.
227 - automove-background functionality re-implemented internally using :root op in pixmap
228 geometry string. For example: rxvt -pixmap "image.jpg;:root"
229 - do not link rxvtc against every lib on the planet anymore.
230 - parallel builds should work once more.
231
2328.4 Sat Oct 27 14:02:13 CEST 2007
233 - overhaul of the transparency/pixmap code (sasha).
234 - fix possible race between visual bell and poweron.
235 (reported by Martin von Gagern, gentoo?).
236 - urxvt -e no longer crashes the child.
237 - fixed some minor memleaks on incorrect usage or
238 missing DISPLAY.
239 - implement xterm 1002/1003 mouse tracking modes (exg).
240 - source code organisational cleanups (exg).
241 - updated io_manager.
242
2438.3 Wed Aug 1 20:21:31 CEST 2007
244 - new option: skipScroll/-ss, enabled by default.
245 - go with the times and expect x11 library files in /usr/lib, not
246 /usr/X11R6/lib.
247 - initial transparency improvement/afterimage support
248 patch by Sasha Vasko.
249 - add urgentOnBell resource to set the urgency hint
250 (patch by Philip Paeps).
251 - do not process focus events caused by grabs
252 (patch by Mikachu).
253 - add iso14755_52 resource to disable iso14755 5.2 (exg).
254 - add binding for backspace in iso14755 5.1 to remove the last
255 digit (exg).
256 - better option handling, support more than 30 options (exg).
257 - nuke reconf script, serves no purpose anymore.
258 - fixed and documented matcher/on_user_command processing in matcher
259 extension (tpope).
260 - compile out of the box on Solaris 10 (exg).
261 - fix MappingNotify events (reported by Stephan Walter).
262 - zero-initialise mwmhints, this seems to solve all sorts of minor
263 problems.
264
2658.2 Sat Feb 17 21:35:28 CET 2007
266 - fix make depend in src/, reported by exg.
267 - fixed typo in urxvt::GET_CUSTOM, causing the result to be wrong.
268 (patch by Sergey Vlasov).
269 - unbundled iom perl interface somewhat.
270 - scrollbar-xterm now uses the selected scrollColor instead of fg
271 (found by Aiviru).
272 - disabled linux kernel bug workaround again: disabling it gives
273 a 50% speed hit on affected machines, while enabling it gives
274 a similar speed hit to screen, which is likely the more common
275 case to work around for :/
276 - urxvt::rend2mask perl function, and utilization of it by matcher
277 (patch by Moshe Kamensky).
278 - use perl:matcher on a keysym to open most recently displayed URL.
279 - with matcher, when multiple patterns match, last wins, not first.
280 - fix make and make install with srcdir != builddir (exg).
281 - updated bundled libptytty to fix a bug where the tty would be kept
282 open (see the libptytty ChangeLog for details).
283 - delay setting the IUTF8 flag to after the tty settings have been
284 set so its value does not get lost (reported and analysed by Andrei
285 Paskevich).
286 - rip out support for obsolete sgtty.h interface.
287 - rip out support for non-POSIX termios variants.
288 - update libptytty.
289 - update iom.C, make it call ptytty::sanitise_stdfd on init.
290 - when !XFT, change rounding of colours to use a less correct formula to
291 meet user expectancies (#aaa becomes #a000a000a000 not #9f9f9f9f9f9f).
292 - change the starting offset of the pixmap set with backgroundPixmap
293 from (50,50) to (0,0) (exg).
294 - fix a typo in button_release, now meta-button2 request the value of
295 the Clipboard selection as it should (patch by Serge Koksharov).
296 - fix a bug in drawing a cell with a nonspacing char when using an xft
297 font with inheritPixmap and tintColor (exg).
298
2998.1 Thu Dec 7 22:27:25 CET 2006
300 - ケリスマスプレゼント - zomg!!1, it's too early!!!
301 - fix the assumption that chars < 256 are single-width. Now
302 only assume this for codepoints 32 to 126 (reported by Dai.H.).
303 - $term->strwidth returned wide chars as width 1, because some jerk
304 confused min and max. Fixing this also fixes xim-onthespot.
305 Reported by Takano Akio.
306 - secondaryScroll is now enabled by default (as per the manpage),
307 reported by exg.
308 - correct the description of [percent]color rgba format in the manpage.
309 - incorporated macosx-clipboard extension by Samuel Ljungkvist.
310 - ignore (some) useless focus events (reported by mmc).
311 - updated compose table to unicode 5.0.0.
312
3138.0 Thu Nov 2 18:35:19 CET 2006
314 - combining characters cleared the area instead of creating an overlay,
315 thus losing the ability to draw combining characters properly in most
316 circumstances (reported by exg).
317 - specified fonts were incorrectly morphed to bold/italic according to the
318 basefont, even if explicitly specified (tracked down by tpope).
319 - fixed urxvt::strwidth to calculate width in the same way as screen.C.
320 - fix a crash caused by passing negative widths to overlay functions.
321 - added 'matcher' extension by tpope, replacing the mark-urls extension.
322 - improve url regex to match anything www.* (tpope).
323 - fixed bug with outline cursor color being wrong after xft fonts.
324 - update to libptytty-1.0.
325 - give proper diagnostic when RXVT_SOCKET is too long instead of
326 corrupting the stack (patch by exg).
327 - display current terminal locale in option menu.
328 - urxvtd no longer crashes when the client sends an inaccessible
329 working directory (reported by Roland Baer, possibly fixes gentoo
330 bug #143985).
331 - fixed many minor issues reported by Roland Baer.
332 - Leonid Khramov spotted a minor glitch in rxvtfont.C that
333 should not have any consequences, but was buggy nonetheless.
334 - manpage fix by exg.
335
3367.9 Mon Aug 7 18:16:07 CEST 2006
337 - fix the crashing bug people encountered with 7.8 + urxvtd + perl
338 + transparency. Ought to fix debian bug #380348.
339 - fix urxvtc.1.pod: it actually claimed -pty-fd would not work. But
340 it does! :->
341 - rxvt_fatal() in case the locale string is too long for our static buffer.
342 - fixed many, many, typos in the manpages (patch supplied by ves).
343
3447.8 Mon Jul 17 21:00:46 CEST 2006
345 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: this version will always read ~/.Xdefaults,
346 earlier versions only read it if display-resources (usually from
347 .Xresources) are not set. This avoids the #1 FAQ ("why isn't my
348 resource used") and seems to be logical behaviour, too. .Xdefaults
349 resources have a lower priority than display-specific resources.
350 - add "kuake" perl extension that does a similar thing to the kuake
351 terminal emulator (see man urxvtperl).
352 - use less "correct" color scaling that is compatible with libX11 and
353 Xft (avoids off-by-one colors resulting in striped backgrounds).
354 - the "depth" resource is now respected.
355 - preset the searchable-scrollback pattern with "(?i)" to default search
356 to case-insensitivity. Will automatically be cleared when typing an
357 uppercase character.
358 - add FORCE_UNBUFFERED_XFT define to features.h.
359 - re-enabled highlightcolor support with --enable-frills, based on
360 a patch by Martin Stubenschrott.
361 - double-buffered xft drawing did suffer from pixel offset issues
362 when pixmap transparency was enabled.
363 - strategically add # to the url-match regexes, as we really want to
364 match common URIs not common URLs. Reported by Aaron Griffin.
365 - moved on_osc_seq to on_osc_seq_perl and added a more
366 generic osc_seq.
367 - fix a bug causing double callback invocations when perl hooks
368 were invoked recursively.
369 - the automove-background extension now properly works when the
370 pixmap gets reset with an osc sequence (sqweek).
371 - selection-pastebin did not work properly with non-latin1-characters.
372 - apply colorUL only when the text colour is the default fg
373 (patch by Wu Fengguang).
374 - removed rxvtlib.h from the tarball, it had no reason to be there
375 (spotted by Decklin Foster).
376 - fix compiling with TRANSPARENT but !XPM_BACKGROUND, as reported
377 by omatunto_.
378 - slap in a using namespace std, might help on platforms that don't
379 follow C++ closely enough.
380 - fix mailto url regex, spotted within milliseconds by Jost Krieger.
381 - applied fade_color_update_func.patch by WU Fengguang.
382 - fix a bug where (due to an optimisation in av_delete), hiding the
383 bottom-most overlay would hide two overlays.
384
3857.7 Tue Feb 21 12:32:49 CET 2006
386 - use double-buffered drawing (xft fonts only). On many driver/hardware
387 combination this actually increases xft drawing speed, at the expense
388 of more network bandwidth and slight nausea on the side of the author.
389 - readline perl extension now requires shift-click instead of a normal
390 click, and eats the click.
391 - tabbed perl extension now supports -e.
392 - disabled graphics-exposures on the main drawing GC, report any
393 refresh bugs please.
394 - improve property handling for -pe tabbed: avoid unnecessary property
395 changes (for kde's benefit) at the expense of extra round-trips,
396 improve size hint setting.
397 - modified XIM according to a patch sent by Takano Akio that sets
398 the preedit rectangle for OverTheSpot, which helps some input methods
399 to correctly position their preedit window.
400 - un-optimise the line clearing on newly scrolled-in lines a bit: the
401 former reasoning was that any fg colour on default bg looks the same
402 in empty spaces, but that's not true when reversing (e.g. selection),
403 so also check for matching fg colours. This fixes the problem where
404 selecting newly scrolled-in lines would exhibit wrong colours.
405 - fix a bug in the perl interface causing focus in events to generate
406 focus out perl events, causing bad focus effects with -pe tabbed.
407 - fix a race resulting in a crash on exiting.
408 - fix a with --disable-xft that caused xfreecolors to be called on
409 colors never allocated, resulting in aborts (reported by Paco-Paco).
410 - resources on non-initial screens weren't refetched correctly
411 (reported by Paco-Paco).
412 - fix a bug in xcopyarea pass and _disable_ it, as it seems not to be
413 working in either rxvt-unicode nor in the original rxvt.
414 - removed undocumented -exec alias for the -e option.
415
4167.6 Fri Feb 10 08:52:36 CET 2006
417 - changed interpretation of [alpha] colour prefix.
418 - +option now really sets the option to default, instead of using the
419 resource value.
420 - options that require an argument now really _require_ an argument.
421 - the tabbed extension now forwards focus and key events to the
422 relevant tab window.
423 - tab colours are now configurable and have sensible defaults
424 (initial patch by hednod).
425 - option menu is extendable, readline, selection and
426 selection-autotransform can now be disabled/enabled at runtime.
427 - forcing a configure event to tabbed subwindows with -pe tabbed, for
428 the benefit of automove-background.
429 - the automove-background extension added a wrong constant offset.
430 - force refresh of XA_RESOURCE_STRING on virtual reconnect.
431 - return exit status 2 in urxvtc when urxvtd couldn't be contacted.
432 - the linux yield hack is back, now using usleep, and enabled only on
433 __linux__.
434 - further round trip eliminations in the !XFT case by remembering
435 the colour components.
436 - plain scrollbar works better with -sr.
437 - fixed half-shadow scrollbar look.
438 - more colour rtt optimisations.
439 - properly(?) free colours on window close.
440 - reorganised the FAQ into multiple sections.
441 - add ISO646.1991-IRV to the list of supported codesets.
442 - minor libptytty update.
443
4447.5 Tue Jan 31 15:15:43 CET 2006
445 - further improvements to the careful mode detection, and font width
446 detection:
447 - fully double-wide fonts will now be correctly treated,
448 - overlap detection was improved.
449 - detect totally broken fonts (usually synthesized by xft).
450 - careful mode forced refresh sometimes clashed with blinking,
451 causing unnecessary screen redraws.
452 - better handling of XFT combining characters.
453 - enable antialiasing for some replacement fonts, as they
454 might get used for other encodings which really need it, later.
455 - remove spacing=100 from all default fonts, as this creates totally
456 weird spacing (5 times normal) with xft.
457 - removed iso10646 fallback, as xorgs iso10646 encoded fonts are mostly
458 broken.
459 - removed gnu unifont fallback, all combining characters are broken.
460 - replace named colours by xorg's rgb.txt equivalents, to
461 reduce round trip time on startup, and short-cut allocation
462 of rgb:rr/gg/bb for xft.
463 - short-cut allocation of rgb values in the xlib case
464 (patch by Paco-Paco).
465 - overhauled color management: smaller codesize, alpha support.
466 - support "rgba:rrrr/gggg/bbbb/aaaa" color specifications and
467 an "[alpha]" prefix.
468 - try to work around Xft and Xrender forcing everything to be 100%
469 transparent. Long Live Xft!
470 - do not include X11/Intrinsic.h anymore, directly use
471 Xlib/Xutil/Xresource directly.
472 - try to find a nearest matching color when color allocation fails
473 on a pseudocolor screen.
474 - SYNCCVS: compared to rxvt-cvs 2006-01-28, no relevant changes.
475 - fix version report (DA) (which was unfortunately broken).
476 - changed version number report again, now to emulate xterm closer.
477 - added the OSC sequence 702 to detect the urxvt version number.
478 - small configure updates.
479 - further RTT optimisations.
480 - backported clean-up patches for makefiles and documentation from
481 the debian package.
482 - updated doc/rxvt-unicode.spec file. It's still not maintained here,
483 but much newer than the old one.
484
4857.4 Sat Jan 28 15:26:27 CET 2006
486 - screen background wasn't always erased properly when scrolling,
487 - re-enabled clearing optimisation disabled in 7.4pre.
488 - small configure updates for libptytty.
489 - fixed version options: line output.
490 - removed stoopid debugging message left in the code.
491
4927.3 Wed Jan 25 22:47:35 CET 2006
493 - don't let iso14755 or mouse reporting get into the way of perl
494 (could lead to global grabs never being cleared).
495 - experimental OnTheSpot editing support (-pe xim-onthespot).
496 - moved Shift-Button2 paste combination to Meta-Button2.
497 - the cutchars resource will now be respected and used by the
498 selection extension.
499 - added the "remote-clipboard" extension which just runs external
500 commands to fetch and store the selection data.
501 - added -depth switch that tries to get a different visual depth
502 than the default (replaces the old PREFER_24_BIT logic).
503 - removed (unused) arabic presentation form composing sequences.
504 - be more strict when deciding that a core font glyph is too wide and
505 needs the careful rendering mode.
506 - allow more leeway for italic fonts when deciding that a character is
507 too wide and needs careful mode.
508 - redraw even more characters around characters using careful mode.
509 - made selection-pastebin fully asynchronous.
510 - reduced number of server turnarounds at startup by allocating
511 atoms only once per display.
512 - renamed on_keyboard_command to on_user_command.
513 - changed version sos (ESC [ > c) response to be more compatible with
514 xterm.
515
5167.2 Sun Jan 22 21:58:16 CET 2006
517 - bugfix: urxvt (not urxvtd) did not correctly handle multiple
518 environments necessary, which resulted in segfaults within
519 getenv (reproducable: urxvt -fn 9x15, open a menu once,
520 ctrl-shift-672c).
521 - bugfix: the selection speedup in in 7.1 unfortunately caused
522 non-ascii characters to enlarge/move the selection.
523 - bugfix: resizing sometimes leaked lines from the secondary to
524 the primary screen.
525 - bugfix: reducing window size while large amounts of text were output
526 could lead to an assertion failure.
527 - added "tabbed" extension that provides a crude tabbed terminal.
528 - added "readline" extension that allows cursor positioning
529 via mouse clicks.
530 - now it is possible to insert the value of the CLIPBOARD selection
531 with shift - mouse button 2.
532 - fixed the automove-background extension to ignore coordinates
533 in non-synthetic events.
534 - created a separate libpty for portable and secure
535 pty/tty/utmp/wtmp/lastlog handling, and include it in rxvt-unicode.
536 - the non-terminfo visual bell now works asynchronously, so
537 continuous ASCI BELs in one terminal do no longer monopolise the
538 whole urxvt[d] process.
539 - support some *BSD makes (for the time being, gnu make is a safe bet).
540 - work around bugs in FreeBSD's gcc.
541 - implemented some *BSD fixes in configure.
542 - removed support for obsolete offix dnd protocol.
543
5447.1 Thu Jan 19 20:25:34 CET 2006
545 - setuid/setgid operation is now _encouraged_: security has been
546 improved by moving privileged operations into a separate process
547 and permanently dropping privileges within the terminal. This
548 makes it possible to remove security checks from the perl code
549 and gives a much safer feeling when urxvt needs to run with
550 special privileges.
551 - perl taint checking disabled, as urxvt no longer runs setuid/setgid
552 itself.
553 - new perl extension automove-background that can be used to get
554 the same effect as pseudo-transparency with any pixmap.
555 - new perl extension example: perl/selection-pastebin, can be used to
556 e.g. upload the selection to a webserver and generate a url, or
557 similar stuff.
558 - use the scrollback buffer even when the scroll region doesn't
559 span the whole screen, as long as it starts at row 0. Helps
560 for programs displaying a status line at the bottom.
561 - selection popup now shows selection in dec/hex/oct.
562 - perl/selection: matching on unicode characters in the selection
563 code was O(n²), which equals infinity in some degenerate cases
564 :-> Matching is now done on UTF-8, which makes it almost instant.
565 - perl/selection, perl/selection-autotransform: regexes are now
566 being interpreted in the locale urxvt was started.
567 - implemented override-redirect option and enabled it on menus,
568 as kwin puts our windows behind the terminal (what a shoddy wm).
569 - fixed struct utmp check in configure for OpenBSD.
570 - complete overhaul of the pty/utmp management stuff and configure
571 (Emanuele Giaquinta=exg).
572 - add tsl/fsl and related capabilities to the terminfo description,
573 to set the window title.
574 - swap the environment in some more cases. This hopefully fixes
575 some segfaults that might be caused by xft asking for env variables
576 at the wrong time.
577 - removed src/strings.C and src/menubar.C. No menubar support
578 anymore.
579 - removed all traces of SMOOTH_REFRESH.
580 - nuked QNX support.
581 - made some fixes to xpm offset and scaling code.
582 - perl-overlays and refresh hooks were not applied in correct order.
583 - changed coordinate-system of view_start/nsaved to be top to bottom.
584 - iom extended to support listening for child exits.
585
5867.0 Fri Jan 13 14:02:18 CET 2006
587 - added sections for DISTRIBUTION MAINTAINERS and about
588 SETUID/SETGID to the FAQ.
589 - selection, searchable-scrollback, selection-popup and
590 option-popup extensions enabled by default.
591 - increased xft drawing speed for problematic fonts. The effect
592 will likely be small as 99% of the xft slowness is server-related.
593 - perl: much increased functionality, better overlays, popup support
594 and much much more.
595 - perl: urxvt::line now can set via ->t and ->r.
596 - perl: changed interpretation of --perl-ext-common and -pe.
597 - perl: finally implemented --perl-eval.
598 - perl: non-blocking anyevent support.
599 - perl: run tainted and ignore perl-eval/perl-lib if started
600 setuid/setgid.
601 - free the resource database: this plugs a massive memory leak. As a
602 side effect, it also gets rid of XGetDefault calls.
603 - free one of the cursors, fixes a small memory leak.
604 - built-in (as opposed to terminfos) visual bell was broken/too fast.
605 - applied minor cleanups by Ladislav Michnovic.
606 - applied pty handling cleanups and improvements (Emanuele Giaquinta).
607 - mark-urls launch-on-click by jepler.
608 - removed "small" resource parsing function, as it wasn't really
609 compatible, and not really small either.
610 - removed PATH_ENV and PATH file search support.
611 - removed support for locale-specific app-defaults file.
612 - fixed a bug where out-of-bounds colour sequences could lead
613 to crashes.
614 - limit colour changing to the standard 88 palette instead of all
615 colours.
616 - XTerm_Color01 sequence returned wrong results in query mode.
617 - iom.C now checks against destructed io_manager when unregistering.
618
6196.3 Wed Jan 4 22:37:10 CET 2006
620 - SECURITY FIX: on systems using openpty, permissions were
621 not correctly updated on the tty device and were left as
622 world-readable and world-writable (likely in original rxvt,
623 too), and were not restored properly. Affected are only
624 systems where non-unix ptys were used (such as most BSDs, not
625 GNU/Linux). (found, patched and debugged by Ryan Beasley).
626 - meta8 support was forcefully enabled in most configurations.
627 restored configurability of this (useless) feature (reported
628 by Mikachu).
629 - optionally embed a perl interpreter, which can be used for more
630 intelligent/customized selection support, visual feedback,
631 menus, tabs etc. See the the urxvtperl manpage, the -pe option,
632 perl*-resources and keysym resources. Not everything is there yet.
633 - try to be more clever about differing font sizes and their ascent.
634 Not guarenteed to work, but works better in most cases now.
635 - fix directory permissions on install.
636 - implemented option to disable built-in line drawing characters
637 and fall back to the font ones (patch by Martin Pohlack).
638 - disabled sched_yield support: the linux version is just too useless
639 (it schedules nice'd processes before the own one for extended
640 periods). Too bad, it could reduce system time by a factor of 5 here.
641
6426.2 Mon Jan 2 16:03:01 CET 2006
643 - implemented intensityStyles option which enables/disables bold/blink
644 selecting high intensity foreground/background colours, suggested by
645 Chuck Blake.
646 - move iso14755 character feedback box out of the way if it would
647 obscure the mouse cursor position.
648 - replaced callback.h by a fixed version from gvpe that correctly
649 returns the callback result (affects new -pty-fd semantics in urxvtc
650 on a few architectures). Reported by darix.
651 - include one trailing space in rectangular selections to indicate
652 the inserted newline (yeah, weird, but visually more pleasing).
653 - try to use sched_yield to (drastically) improve terminal data
654 transfer efficiency.
655 - further minor cleanups.
656
6576.1 Tue Dec 27 13:23:40 CET 2005
658 - update iso8859-7 table (euro and drachma round-trip et al.).
659 - fix a crash when the selection scrolls out of the scrollback
660 while the user still drags.
661 - selections that were partially scrolled out of the window were
662 not drawn correctly.
663 - lines newly scrolled in were not initialized properly, leading
664 to extremely long lines and (hopefully) some segfaults.
665 - iso14755 overlay position was wrong.
666 - iso14755 overlay now displays rendition info, too.
667 - use unicode white space class instead of hardcoded values for
668 stripping whitespace.
669 - do whitespace stripping on rectangular selections.
670 - slight cleanups in src/features.h.
671
6726.0 Sat Dec 24 13:58:56 CET 2005
