59.07 Wed Dec 30 07:07:18 CET 2009
6 - port to glibc-2.10 changes (strchr etc. returning const char *
7 in C++), based on patches by Milos Jakubicek and Oliver Mader.
8 - the binary search algorithm to find precomposed characters
9 was faulty, skipping some possible combinations (found by
10 Mikachu).
11 - new -letterspace option, patch by Mark H. Wilkinson.
12 - enable --mlock option for urxvt with frills on
13 systems supporting it (patch by Russell Harmon).
14 - urxvt did not compile without frills enabled
15 (analysed by Matthew Rosewarne).
16 - correctly reset the mbstate after an illegal
17 input sequence when handling terminal output (Emanuele Giaquinta).
18 - avoid redrawing wide characters with combining enabled on every
19 refresh (reported by Mikachu).
20 - fix a typo preventing the ISO-646.1991 character set from being
21 recognized (http://achurch.org/patch-pile/).
22 - better warning for x11 font encoding detection failures, also,
23 try to deduce encoding from both font properties and name
24 (adapted from http://achurch.org/patch-pile/).
25 - resizing the window with the scrollbar disabled via the escapes
26 sequence could make the window bigger again (Mikachu).
27 - make sure the alignment for fd passing control messages
28 is correct and work around some NetBSD issues (Taylor R Campbell).
29 - update to libptytty 1.3.
30 - replace maxosc-pastebin by a nicer version by Reza Jelveh, and move
31 the old version to macosx-pastebin-native.
32 - document the -uc option (Emanuele Giaquinta).
33 - assertions in libev are now enabled depending on frills.
34 - update AnyEvent implementation to version 5.23 API.
35 - work around arrogant bsd idiocies again: netbsd spills the default
36 namespace with lots of symbols "for gnu/gcc compatibility" even
37 though neither of them does it, and then calls the rest of the world
38 in need of fixing. go figure.
39 - on_keyboard_command is on_user_command (patch by Michael Witten).
40 - setting the selection from perl will now reset the selection screen
41 to the current screen. the srceen can be manipulated using
42 the new ->selection_screen method.
43 - implement --enable-assert configure option and get rid of DEBUG_STRICT
44 (based on patch by Emanuele Giaquinta).
45 - fix printpipe data output (patch by Emanuele Giaquinta).
46 - allow `xxx' quoting style for perl selection.
47 - upgrade to libev-3.9 prerelease.
48 - updated compose tables to unicode 5.2.0.
49
509.06 Sat Nov 8 17:47:18 CET 2008
51 - NOTICE: this release updates terminfo/termcap.
52 - updates libev to 3.48.
53 - the aterm code now frees the as visual and image manager objects
54 when a window was closed.
55 - do not (wrongly) adjust the virtual line length inside
56 scr_insdel_chars/ERASE (Miroslav Lichvar).
57 - fix an issue where wide tab characters caused character shifts
58 when part of them was deleted (tracked down by Miroslav Lichvar).
59 - artificially enlargen the previous character at the end of a line
60 when trying to output a character that doesn't fit. looks ugly, but
61 makes copy&paste work.
62 - remove bogus "setuid/setgid security issues" from rxvt.1.pod, they
63 no longer apply.
64 - the urgency hint is now cleared on both focus in and focus out.
65 - cache urgency hint locally to avoid server rtt on every focus change.
66 - perl 5.10 needs PERL_SYS_INIT3 on hppa.
67 - ignore byte-order marks and do not treat them like combining characters.
68 - fix build issue when CURSOR_BLINK is not defined (Emanuele Giaquinta).
69 - do some µ-optimisations to the character fast path.
70 - use a less cunning, but more robust algorithm to avoid one terminal
71 monopolising the whole process by outputting a lot of text.
72 - try to work around linux first breaking sched_yield and now breaking
73 the only known workaround.
74 - new option -icon to set _NET_WM_ICON (based on patch by Frank Schmitt).
75 - initialise the as visual only on demand, instead of unconditionally,
76 to save memory in the common case of not using visual gimmicks.
77 - try to work around bugs in a few wm's that errornously resize
78 client windows on hint property updates by temporarily
79 disabling size hints.
80 - implement the DECSTR soft reset sequence and use it for tput init,
81 and make hard RIS and DECSTR both reset more private modes, such
82 as mouse reporting.
83 - redundantly clear mouse reporting and a few other states in
84 tput init/tput reset, for older urxvts.
85 - partial/full clear screens did cause flickering and possibly pixel
86 droppings when urxvt viewed the scrollback buffer.
87 - use current rendition style in DCH sequence.
88 - the 132/80 mode switch no longer forces a screen reset.
89 - add an osc sequence to change the border colour (Emanuele Giaquinta).
90 - new perl extension "overlay-osc", for status displays and the like.
91 - fix some minor cursor drawing issues with overlays by allowing
92 overlays to modify screen flags (to disable the cursor themselves).
93 - work around programs not restoring rstyle before rmcup
94 (analysed by Miroslav Lichvar).
95
969.05 Sun Jun 15 20:09:20 CEST 2008
97 - new option --cd/chdir to set the starting working directory.
98 - tabbed extension now starts in the "correct" working directory.
99 - work around fedora 9 providing isastream but not the relevant
100 header file for it (report by Tuncer Ayaz).
101 - upgrade libev, fixing a bug in the select backend.
102 with more than 31 file descriptors on non-linux 64 bit systems.
103 - correctly reset the multibyte state to the initial one
104 after EILSEQ (patch by Neil Booth). This fixes the
105 issue of rxvt-unicode not properly displaying text after an illegal
106 sequence on NetBSD and probably other systems.
107 - more intelligent property handling with -pe tabbed, works around
108 broken window managers (kwm et al.), saves bandwidth and should
109 help working window managers as well.
110 - made tabs moveable (based on a patch by Petr Machata).
111 - implement ESC [ 3 K as a more rational alternative to ESC [ 0 K.
112 - support relative paths for RXVT_SOCKET in urxvtd.
113 - the tabbed extension now blindly copies over all (rxvt-) resources
114 from the toplevel window to the children.
115 - better diagnostic on 0x0 window geometries.
116 - update AnyEvent API to version 3.4 and above.
117 - document the default value of :0 for DISPLAY.
118 - rename perl method XChangeWindowProperty to XChangeProperty.
119
1209.02 Tue Jan 29 11:58:36 CET 2008
121 - the "exg makes everybody happy" release.
122 - fix build with !xft.
123 - always compile in plain style scrollbar (simplifies code and looks great).
124
1259.01 Sat Jan 26 20:49:27 CET 2008
126 - be more aggressive about handling X events, this seems to be required
127 with newer xlibs (should fix the "screen stays black until event is
128 received" problem, again :)
129 - add buffered resource to control xft double-buffering.
130
1319.0 Fri Jan 25 19:34:04 CET 2008
132 - fix a crash bug where urxvtd would crash when urxvtc was called
133 with wrong arguments (I wish debian maintainers in general would
134 report bugs and their proposed fixes to the original package maintainers
135 instead of sitting on them for good measure to see if anybody notices).
136 - drawing xft compose characters was causing garbage to be drawn.
137 - correctly clear xft character background in all cases.
138 - implement bracketed paste mode (xterm private mode 2004).
139 - improve documentation on alpha channel handling, make urxvt
140 work better on servers lacking the RENDER extension when alpha
141 channels or background images are used.
142 - check for refresh after initialising to avoid staying blank
143 till the first event arrives. or so.
144 - the FORCE_UNBUFFERED_XFT feature macro works again.
145 - continuously update transparency while moving/resizing now.
146 - OSC 39/49 are deprecated and aliased to OSC 10/11.
147 - cub1 now acts as advertised (and ignores the "wrapped" state).
148 - the 132/80 mode switch now forces a height of 24, too, and
149 resets the terminal.
150 - scrollbar code cleanups.
151 - stopping children is no longer confused with children exiting.
152 - removed (undocumented) #aarrggbb format.
153 - updated to libev 3.0.
154
1558.9 Mon Dec 24 07:51:40 CET 2007
156 - fix the issue where urxvtd would not immediately close a window
157 when the command exited but only on the next X event.
158 - changed terminfo file not to use application keypad mode.
159 - fix the issue where making a selection in one urxvtd window
160 would not clear it visually in another.
161 - fix an issue of urxvt not getting background pixmap updates
162 and flickering after bg pixmap changes (reported by Mikachu).
163 - fix redraw bug in xterm scrollbar with -sr (reported by Mikachu).
164 - correctly provide dependencies for libev (µikachu).
165 - minor code reorganisations and cleanups.
166 - be more robust in case the urxvt-popup extension cannot be loaded.
167
1688.8 Sat Dec 15 19:40:39 CET 2007
169 - option -C was aliased to all unsupported options, activating
170 options that shouldn't be compiled in, leading to interesting
171 effects.
172 - updated libev, working around a bug in linux 2.4, curing the
173 symptom of urxvt not closing its window on shell exit. also
174 fixes a problem with urxvt not refreshing.
175 - the text blink callback was called even when no blinking
176 text was visible.
177 - pre-8.4 slipwheeling behaviour has been reinstated, with
178 some minor improvements.
179 - streamlined x events processing to only flush once per
180 display and not once per terminal window.
181 - quite a bit of minor code cleanups and codesize optimisations.
182
1838.7 Sun Nov 25 10:23:49 CET 2007
184 - update libev with an important bugfix that would cause crashes
185 when closing windows (when using rxvtd, and update is recommended).
186 - do not compile in the block builtin graphics with --disable-frills.
187
1888.6 Fri Nov 23 14:10:57 CET 2007
189 - upgrade libev to disable kqueue on anything but netbsd as it
190 seems to be broken everywhere else w.r.t. ptys.
191 - allow for spurious event notifications, as at least epoll and
192 especially solaris ports like to lie about them (symptoms:
193 urxvt "hangs" until there is some x11 related activity).
194 - -keysym command line options are now subjected to xlib parsing.
195 - add 'xrm' option analogous to Xt one.
196
1978.5a Wed Nov 21 10:16:33 CET 2007
198 - make it compile with --disable-transparency.
199
2008.5 Wed Nov 21 05:19:20 CET 2007
201 - expect major portability issues in this release: please test and report.
202 - converted from the veritable io manager event loop to
203 the high performance libev (http://software.schmorp.de/pkg/libev).
204 - minor tuning to the perl selection (include single words and more quoting chars).
205 - fix memory leak in pixmap code.
206 - fix a serious bug while setting the XIM destroy callback
207 on (typical) 64 bit systems.
208 - automove-background functionality re-implemented internally using :root op in pixmap
209 geometry string. For example: rxvt -pixmap "image.jpg;:root"
210 - do not link rxvtc against every lib on the planet anymore.
211 - parallel builds should work once more.
212
2138.4 Sat Oct 27 14:02:13 CEST 2007
214 - overhaul of the transparency/pixmap code (sasha).
215 - fix possible race between visual bell and poweron.
216 (reported by Martin von Gagern, gentoo?).
217 - urxvt -e no longer crashes the child.
218 - fixed some minor memleaks on incorrect usage or
219 missing DISPLAY.
220 - implement xterm 1002/1003 mouse tracking modes (exg).
221 - source code organisational cleanups (exg).
222 - updated io_manager.
223
2248.3 Wed Aug 1 20:21:31 CEST 2007
225 - new option: skipScroll/-ss, enabled by default.
226 - go with the times and expect x11 library files in /usr/lib, not
227 /usr/X11R6/lib.
228 - initial transparency improvement/afterimage support
229 patch by Sasha Vasko.
230 - add urgentOnBell resource to set the urgency hint
231 (patch by Philip Paeps).
232 - do not process focus events caused by grabs
233 (patch by Mikachu).
234 - add iso14755_52 resource to disable iso14755 5.2 (exg).
235 - add binding for backspace in iso14755 5.1 to remove the last
236 digit (exg).
237 - better option handling, support more than 30 options (exg).
238 - nuke reconf script, serves no purpose anymore.
239 - fixed and documented matcher/on_user_command processing in matcher
240 extension (tpope).
241 - compile out of the box on Solaris 10 (exg).
242 - fix MappingNotify events (reported by Stephan Walter).
243 - zero-initialise mwmhints, this seems to solve all sorts of minor
244 problems.
245
2468.2 Sat Feb 17 21:35:28 CET 2007
247 - fix make depend in src/, reported by exg.
248 - fixed typo in urxvt::GET_CUSTOM, causing the result to be wrong.
249 (patch by Sergey Vlasov).
250 - unbundled iom perl interface somewhat.
251 - scrollbar-xterm now uses the selected scrollColor instead of fg
252 (found by Aiviru).
253 - disabled linux kernel bug workaround again: disabling it gives
254 a 50% speed hit on affected machines, while enabling it gives
255 a similar speed hit to screen, which is likely the more common
256 case to work around for :/
257 - urxvt::rend2mask perl function, and utilization of it by matcher
258 (patch by Moshe Kamensky).
259 - use perl:matcher on a keysym to open most recently displayed URL.
260 - with matcher, when multiple patterns match, last wins, not first.
261 - fix make and make install with srcdir != builddir (exg).
262 - updated bundled libptytty to fix a bug where the tty would be kept
263 open (see the libptytty ChangeLog for details).
264 - delay setting the IUTF8 flag to after the tty settings have been
265 set so its value does not get lost (reported and analysed by Andrei
266 Paskevich).
267 - rip out support for obsolete sgtty.h interface.
268 - rip out support for non-POSIX termios variants.
269 - update libptytty.
270 - update iom.C, make it call ptytty::sanitise_stdfd on init.
271 - when !XFT, change rounding of colours to use a less correct formula to
272 meet user expectancies (#aaa becomes #a000a000a000 not #9f9f9f9f9f9f).
273 - change the starting offset of the pixmap set with backgroundPixmap
274 from (50,50) to (0,0) (exg).
275 - fix a typo in button_release, now meta-button2 request the value of
276 the Clipboard selection as it should (patch by Serge Koksharov).
277 - fix a bug in drawing a cell with a nonspacing char when using an xft
278 font with inheritPixmap and tintColor (exg).
279
2808.1 Thu Dec 7 22:27:25 CET 2006
281 - ｹﾘｽﾏｽﾌ゚ﾚｾ゙ﾝﾄ - zomg!!1, it's too early!!!
282 - fix the assumption that chars < 256 are single-width. Now
283 only assume this for codepoints 32 to 126 (reported by Dai.H.).
284 - $term->strwidth returned wide chars as width 1, because some jerk
285 confused min and max. Fixing this also fixes xim-onthespot.
286 Reported by Takano Akio.
287 - secondaryScroll is now enabled by default (as per the manpage),
288 reported by exg.
289 - correct the description of [percent]color rgba format in the manpage.
290 - incorporated macosx-clipboard extension by Samuel Ljungkvist.
291 - ignore (some) useless focus events (reported by mmc).
292 - updated compose table to unicode 5.0.0.
293
2948.0 Thu Nov 2 18:35:19 CET 2006
295 - combining characters cleared the area instead of creating an overlay,
296 thus losing the ability to draw combining characters properly in most
297 circumstances (reported by exg).
298 - specified fonts were incorrectly morphed to bold/italic according to the
299 basefont, even if explicitly specified (tracked down by tpope).
300 - fixed urxvt::strwidth to calculate width in the same way as screen.C.
301 - fix a crash caused by passing negative widths to overlay functions.
302 - added 'matcher' extension by tpope, replacing the mark-urls extension.
303 - improve url regex to match anything www.* (tpope).
304 - fixed bug with outline cursor color being wrong after xft fonts.
305 - update to libptytty-1.0.
306 - give proper diagnostic when RXVT_SOCKET is too long instead of
307 corrupting the stack (patch by exg).
308 - display current terminal locale in option menu.
309 - urxvtd no longer crashes when the client sends an inaccessible
310 working directory (reported by Roland Baer, possibly fixes gentoo
311 bug #143985).
312 - fixed many minor issues reported by Roland Baer.
313 - Leonid Khramov spotted a minor glitch in rxvtfont.C that
314 should not have any consequences, but was buggy nonetheless.
315 - manpage fix by exg.
316
3177.9 Mon Aug 7 18:16:07 CEST 2006
318 - fix the crashing bug people encountered with 7.8 + urxvtd + perl
319 + transparency. Ought to fix debian bug #380348.
320 - fix urxvtc.1.pod: it actually claimed -pty-fd would not work. But
321 it does! :->
322 - rxvt_fatal() in case the locale string is too long for our static buffer.
323 - fixed many, many, typos in the manpages (patch supplied by ves).
324
3257.8 Mon Jul 17 21:00:46 CEST 2006
326 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: this version will always read ~/.Xdefaults,
327 earlier versions only read it if display-resources (usually from
328 .Xresources) are not set. This avoids the #1 FAQ ("why isn't my
329 resource used") and seems to be logical behaviour, too. .Xdefaults
330 resources have a lower priority than display-specific resources.
331 - add "kuake" perl extension that does a similar thing to the kuake
332 terminal emulator (see man urxvtperl).
333 - use less "correct" color scaling that is compatible with libX11 and
334 Xft (avoids off-by-one colors resulting in striped backgrounds).
335 - the "depth" resource is now respected.
336 - preset the searchable-scrollback pattern with "(?i)" to default search
337 to case-insensitivity. Will automatically be cleared when typing an
338 uppercase character.
339 - add FORCE_UNBUFFERED_XFT define to features.h.
340 - re-enabled highlightcolor support with --enable-frills, based on
341 a patch by Martin Stubenschrott.
342 - double-buffered xft drawing did suffer from pixel offset issues
343 when pixmap transparency was enabled.
344 - strategically add # to the url-match regexes, as we really want to
345 match common URIs not common URLs. Reported by Aaron Griffin.
346 - moved on_osc_seq to on_osc_seq_perl and added a more
347 generic osc_seq.
348 - fix a bug causing double callback invocations when perl hooks
349 were invoked recursively.
350 - the automove-background extension now properly works when the
351 pixmap gets reset with an osc sequence (sqweek).
352 - selection-pastebin did not work properly with non-latin1-characters.
353 - apply colorUL only when the text colour is the default fg
354 (patch by Wu Fengguang).
355 - removed rxvtlib.h from the tarball, it had no reason to be there
356 (spotted by Decklin Foster).
357 - fix compiling with TRANSPARENT but !XPM_BACKGROUND, as reported
358 by omatunto_.
359 - slap in a using namespace std, might help on platforms that don't
360 follow C++ closely enough.
361 - fix mailto url regex, spotted within milliseconds by Jost Krieger.
362 - applied fade_color_update_func.patch by WU Fengguang.
363 - fix a bug where (due to an optimisation in av_delete), hiding the
364 bottom-most overlay would hide two overlays.
365
3667.7 Tue Feb 21 12:32:49 CET 2006
367 - use double-buffered drawing (xft fonts only). On many driver/hardware
368 combination this actually increases xft drawing speed, at the expense
369 of more network bandwidth and slight nausea on the side of the author.
370 - readline perl extension now requires shift-click instead of a normal
371 click, and eats the click.
372 - tabbed perl extension now supports -e.
373 - disabled graphics-exposures on the main drawing GC, report any
374 refresh bugs please.
375 - improve property handling for -pe tabbed: avoid unnecessary property
376 changes (for kde's benefit) at the expense of extra round-trips,
377 improve size hint setting.
378 - modified XIM according to a patch sent by Takano Akio that sets
379 the preedit rectangle for OverTheSpot, which helps some input methods
380 to correctly position their preedit window.
381 - un-optimise the line clearing on newly scrolled-in lines a bit: the
382 former reasoning was that any fg colour on default bg looks the same
383 in empty spaces, but that's not true when reversing (e.g. selection),
384 so also check for matching fg colours. This fixes the problem where
385 selecting newly scrolled-in lines would exhibit wrong colours.
386 - fix a bug in the perl interface causing focus in events to generate
387 focus out perl events, causing bad focus effects with -pe tabbed.
388 - fix a race resulting in a crash on exiting.
389 - fix a with --disable-xft that caused xfreecolors to be called on
390 colors never allocated, resulting in aborts (reported by Paco-Paco).
391 - resources on non-initial screens weren't refetched correctly
392 (reported by Paco-Paco).
393 - fix a bug in xcopyarea pass and _disable_ it, as it seems not to be
394 working in either rxvt-unicode nor in the original rxvt.
395 - removed undocumented -exec alias for the -e option.
396
3977.6 Fri Feb 10 08:52:36 CET 2006
398 - changed interpretation of [alpha] colour prefix.
399 - +option now really sets the option to default, instead of using the
400 resource value.
401 - options that require an argument now really _require_ an argument.
402 - the tabbed extension now forwards focus and key events to the
403 relevant tab window.
404 - tab colours are now configurable and have sensible defaults
405 (initial patch by hednod).
406 - option menu is extendable, readline, selection and
407 selection-autotransform can now be disabled/enabled at runtime.
408 - forcing a configure event to tabbed subwindows with -pe tabbed, for
409 the benefit of automove-background.
410 - the automove-background extension added a wrong constant offset.
411 - force refresh of XA_RESOURCE_STRING on virtual reconnect.
412 - return exit status 2 in urxvtc when urxvtd couldn't be contacted.
413 - the linux yield hack is back, now using usleep, and enabled only on
414 __linux__.
415 - further round trip eliminations in the !XFT case by remembering
416 the colour components.
417 - plain scrollbar works better with -sr.
418 - fixed half-shadow scrollbar look.
419 - more colour rtt optimisations.
420 - properly(?) free colours on window close.
421 - reorganised the FAQ into multiple sections.
422 - add ISO646.1991-IRV to the list of supported codesets.
423 - minor libptytty update.
424
4257.5 Tue Jan 31 15:15:43 CET 2006
426 - further improvements to the careful mode detection, and font width
427 detection:
428 - fully double-wide fonts will now be correctly treated,
429 - overlap detection was improved.
430 - detect totally broken fonts (usually synthesized by xft).
431 - careful mode forced refresh sometimes clashed with blinking,
432 causing unnecessary screen redraws.
433 - better handling of XFT combining characters.
434 - enable antialiasing for some replacement fonts, as they
435 might get used for other encodings which really need it, later.
436 - remove spacing=100 from all default fonts, as this creates totally
437 weird spacing (5 times normal) with xft.
438 - removed iso10646 fallback, as xorgs iso10646 encoded fonts are mostly
439 broken.
440 - removed gnu unifont fallback, all combining characters are broken.
441 - replace named colours by xorg's rgb.txt equivalents, to
442 reduce round trip time on startup, and short-cut allocation
443 of rgb:rr/gg/bb for xft.
444 - short-cut allocation of rgb values in the xlib case
445 (patch by Paco-Paco).
446 - overhauled color management: smaller codesize, alpha support.
447 - support "rgba:rrrr/gggg/bbbb/aaaa" color specifications and
448 an "[alpha]" prefix.
449 - try to work around Xft and Xrender forcing everything to be 100%
450 transparent. Long Live Xft!
451 - do not include X11/Intrinsic.h anymore, directly use
452 Xlib/Xutil/Xresource directly.
453 - try to find a nearest matching color when color allocation fails
454 on a pseudocolor screen.
455 - SYNCCVS: compared to rxvt-cvs 2006-01-28, no relevant changes.
456 - fix version report (DA) (which was unfortunately broken).
457 - changed version number report again, now to emulate xterm closer.
458 - added the OSC sequence 702 to detect the urxvt version number.
459 - small configure updates.
460 - further RTT optimisations.
461 - backported clean-up patches for makefiles and documentation from
462 the debian package.
463 - updated doc/rxvt-unicode.spec file. It's still not maintained here,
464 but much newer than the old one.
465
4667.4 Sat Jan 28 15:26:27 CET 2006
467 - screen background wasn't always erased properly when scrolling,
468 - re-enabled clearing optimisation disabled in 7.4pre.
469 - small configure updates for libptytty.
470 - fixed version options: line output.
471 - removed stoopid debugging message left in the code.
472
4737.3 Wed Jan 25 22:47:35 CET 2006
474 - don't let iso14755 or mouse reporting get into the way of perl
475 (could lead to global grabs never being cleared).
476 - experimental OnTheSpot editing support (-pe xim-onthespot).
477 - moved Shift-Button2 paste combination to Meta-Button2.
478 - the cutchars resource will now be respected and used by the
479 selection extension.
480 - added the "remote-clipboard" extension which just runs external
481 commands to fetch and store the selection data.
482 - added -depth switch that tries to get a different visual depth
483 than the default (replaces the old PREFER_24_BIT logic).
484 - removed (unused) arabic presentation form composing sequences.
485 - be more strict when deciding that a core font glyph is too wide and
486 needs the careful rendering mode.
487 - allow more leeway for italic fonts when deciding that a character is
488 too wide and needs careful mode.
489 - redraw even more characters around characters using careful mode.
490 - made selection-pastebin fully asynchronous.
491 - reduced number of server turnarounds at startup by allocating
492 atoms only once per display.
493 - renamed on_keyboard_command to on_user_command.
494 - changed version sos (ESC [ > c) response to be more compatible with
495 xterm.
496
4977.2 Sun Jan 22 21:58:16 CET 2006
498 - bugfix: urxvt (not urxvtd) did not correctly handle multiple
499 environments necessary, which resulted in segfaults within
500 getenv (reproducable: urxvt -fn 9x15, open a menu once,
501 ctrl-shift-672c).
502 - bugfix: the selection speedup in in 7.1 unfortunately caused
503 non-ascii characters to enlarge/move the selection.
504 - bugfix: resizing sometimes leaked lines from the secondary to
505 the primary screen.
506 - bugfix: reducing window size while large amounts of text were output
507 could lead to an assertion failure.
508 - added "tabbed" extension that provides a crude tabbed terminal.
509 - added "readline" extension that allows cursor positioning
510 via mouse clicks.
511 - now it is possible to insert the value of the CLIPBOARD selection
512 with shift - mouse button 2.
513 - fixed the automove-background extension to ignore coordinates
514 in non-synthetic events.
515 - created a separate libpty for portable and secure
516 pty/tty/utmp/wtmp/lastlog handling, and include it in rxvt-unicode.
517 - the non-terminfo visual bell now works asynchronously, so
518 continuous ASCI BELs in one terminal do no longer monopolise the
519 whole urxvt[d] process.
520 - support some *BSD makes (for the time being, gnu make is a safe bet).
521 - work around bugs in FreeBSD's gcc.
522 - implemented some *BSD fixes in configure.
523 - removed support for obsolete offix dnd protocol.
524
5257.1 Thu Jan 19 20:25:34 CET 2006
526 - setuid/setgid operation is now _encouraged_: security has been
527 improved by moving privileged operations into a separate process
528 and permanently dropping privileges within the terminal. This
529 makes it possible to remove security checks from the perl code
530 and gives a much safer feeling when urxvt needs to run with
531 special privileges.
532 - perl taint checking disabled, as urxvt no longer runs setuid/setgid
533 itself.
534 - new perl extension automove-background that can be used to get
535 the same effect as pseudo-transparency with any pixmap.
536 - new perl extension example: perl/selection-pastebin, can be used to
537 e.g. upload the selection to a webserver and generate a url, or
538 similar stuff.
539 - use the scrollback buffer even when the scroll region doesn't
540 span the whole screen, as long as it starts at row 0. Helps
541 for programs displaying a status line at the bottom.
542 - selection popup now shows selection in dec/hex/oct.
543 - perl/selection: matching on unicode characters in the selection
544 code was O(n²), which equals infinity in some degenerate cases
545 :-> Matching is now done on UTF-8, which makes it almost instant.
546 - perl/selection, perl/selection-autotransform: regexes are now
547 being interpreted in the locale urxvt was started.
548 - implemented override-redirect option and enabled it on menus,
549 as kwin puts our windows behind the terminal (what a shoddy wm).
550 - fixed struct utmp check in configure for OpenBSD.
551 - complete overhaul of the pty/utmp management stuff and configure
552 (Emanuele Giaquinta=exg).
553 - add tsl/fsl and related capabilities to the terminfo description,
554 to set the window title.
555 - swap the environment in some more cases. This hopefully fixes
556 some segfaults that might be caused by xft asking for env variables
557 at the wrong time.
558 - removed src/strings.C and src/menubar.C. No menubar support
559 anymore.
560 - removed all traces of SMOOTH_REFRESH.
561 - nuked QNX support.
562 - made some fixes to xpm offset and scaling code.
563 - perl-overlays and refresh hooks were not applied in correct order.
564 - changed coordinate-system of view_start/nsaved to be top to bottom.
565 - iom extended to support listening for child exits.
566
5677.0 Fri Jan 13 14:02:18 CET 2006
568 - added sections for DISTRIBUTION MAINTAINERS and about
569 SETUID/SETGID to the FAQ.
570 - selection, searchable-scrollback, selection-popup and
571 option-popup extensions enabled by default.
572 - increased xft drawing speed for problematic fonts. The effect
573 will likely be small as 99% of the xft slowness is server-related.
574 - perl: much increased functionality, better overlays, popup support
575 and much much more.
576 - perl: urxvt::line now can set via ->t and ->r.
577 - perl: changed interpretation of --perl-ext-common and -pe.
578 - perl: finally implemented --perl-eval.
579 - perl: non-blocking anyevent support.
580 - perl: run tainted and ignore perl-eval/perl-lib if started
581 setuid/setgid.
582 - free the resource database: this plugs a massive memory leak. As a
583 side effect, it also gets rid of XGetDefault calls.
584 - free one of the cursors, fixes a small memory leak.
585 - built-in (as opposed to terminfos) visual bell was broken/too fast.
586 - applied minor cleanups by Ladislav Michnovic.
587 - applied pty handling cleanups and improvements (Emanuele Giaquinta).
588 - mark-urls launch-on-click by jepler.
589 - removed "small" resource parsing function, as it wasn't really
590 compatible, and not really small either.
591 - removed PATH_ENV and PATH file search support.
592 - removed support for locale-specific app-defaults file.
593 - fixed a bug where out-of-bounds colour sequences could lead
594 to crashes.
595 - limit colour changing to the standard 88 palette instead of all
596 colours.
597 - XTerm_Color01 sequence returned wrong results in query mode.
598 - iom.C now checks against destructed io_manager when unregistering.
599
6006.3 Wed Jan 4 22:37:10 CET 2006
601 - SECURITY FIX: on systems using openpty, permissions were
602 not correctly updated on the tty device and were left as
603 world-readable and world-writable (likely in original rxvt,
604 too), and were not restored properly. Affected are only
605 systems where non-unix ptys were used (such as most BSDs, not
606 GNU/Linux). (found, patched and debugged by Ryan Beasley).
607 - meta8 support was forcefully enabled in most configurations.
608 restored configurability of this (useless) feature (reported
609 by Mikachu).
610 - optionally embed a perl interpreter, which can be used for more
611 intelligent/customized selection support, visual feedback,
612 menus, tabs etc. See the the urxvtperl manpage, the -pe option,
613 perl*-resources and keysym resources. Not everything is there yet.
614 - try to be more clever about differing font sizes and their ascent.
615 Not guarenteed to work, but works better in most cases now.
616 - fix directory permissions on install.
617 - implemented option to disable built-in line drawing characters
618 and fall back to the font ones (patch by Martin Pohlack).
619 - disabled sched_yield support: the linux version is just too useless
620 (it schedules nice'd processes before the own one for extended
621 periods). Too bad, it could reduce system time by a factor of 5 here.
622
6236.2 Mon Jan 2 16:03:01 CET 2006
624 - implemented intensityStyles option which enables/disables bold/blink
625 selecting high intensity foreground/background colours, suggested by
626 Chuck Blake.
627 - move iso14755 character feedback box out of the way if it would
628 obscure the mouse cursor position.
629 - replaced callback.h by a fixed version from gvpe that correctly
630 returns the callback result (affects new -pty-fd semantics in urxvtc
631 on a few architectures). Reported by darix.
632 - include one trailing space in rectangular selections to indicate
633 the inserted newline (yeah, weird, but visually more pleasing).
634 - try to use sched_yield to (drastically) improve terminal data
635 transfer efficiency.
636 - further minor cleanups.
637
6386.1 Tue Dec 27 13:23:40 CET 2005
639 - update iso8859-7 table (euro and drachma round-trip et al.).
640 - fix a crash when the selection scrolls out of the scrollback
641 while the user still drags.
642 - selections that were partially scrolled out of the window were
643 not drawn correctly.
644 - lines newly scrolled in were not initialized properly, leading
645 to extremely long lines and (hopefully) some segfaults.
646 - iso14755 overlay position was wrong.
647 - iso14755 overlay now displays rendition info, too.
648 - use unicode white space class instead of hardcoded values for
649 stripping whitespace.
650 - do whitespace stripping on rectangular selections.
651 - slight cleanups in src/features.h.
652
6536.0 Sat Dec 24 13:58:56 CET 2005
654 - make it compile without SMART_RESIZE again.
655 - enable slow link support by default.
656 - fix relative cursor-positioning not respecting scrolling regions
657 (also a bug in original rxvt).
658 - initialize termios structure to zero when fetching it fails
659 (see http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=84647 for a
660 partial patch).
661 - bump max columns/rows to 10000 each.
662 - bump max savelines to 10000000.
663 - -pty-fd now passes the urxvtc fd to the urxvtd process.
664 - avoid linking against -lnsl/-lsocket/-lxpg4 unless neccessary.
665 - major code cleanup (still not complete, though).
666 - implement -hold option.
667 - _major_ rewrite of internal buffer handling:
668 - re-flow on resize, lines get wrapped instead of winged.
669 - circular line buffer (substantially speeds up scrolling).
670 - slightly less code + data memory usage per terminal.
671 - slight overall speed improvements.
672 - considerably improved code clarity.
673 - partial-screen scrolls no longer end up in the scrollback
674 buffer.
675
6765.9 Sat Dec 17 21:53:17 CET 2005
677 - fix a bug in the menu code of unknown impact, found by darix.
678 - clean up signal handling to be global, not per terminal
679 (matters only for rxvtd).
680 - fix small typoe in rxvt.1 (found by Mike Fabian).
681 - don't crash when broken xft/fontconfig/freetype versions return
682 bogus data, ignore the xft font instead (experienced on suse).
683
6845.8 Tue Oct 25 22:21:45 CEST 2005
685 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: many configure options are now on by default.
686 If you want the old behaviour, try:
687 configure --disable-everything <your enable options>
688 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: -fade changed it's meaning to comply with
689 the documentation and common sense: when upgrading, replace your
690 percentage by 100-percentage.
691 - integrated "fade to specific colour" patch by Martin Parm.
692 - slow down the internal visual bell (delay by 20ms) and update
693 the terminfo flash code to use the same delay. This is
694 synchronous, so many bells might inhibit screen updates in other
695 windows.
696 - text with background==foreground colour gets displayed with default
697 bg/fg now when in reverse video, so it can be seen when selecting.
698 - allow koi8r* as x11 encoding name for koi8r (Nikita Danilov).
699 - removed undocumented inheritPixmapforce option.
700 - replaced INSTALL file.
701
7025.7 Wed Jul 13 04:46:33 CEST 2005
703 - implement some useful (hopefully) options for rxvtd.
704 - separate and improved rxvtc(1) and rxvtd(1) manpages.
705 - fix a bug that caused segfaults on startup on systems that do
706 not support local unix connections, e.g cygwin. (btw, I didn't
707 even know about the -rootless and -multiwindow Cygwin/X modes).
708 - large amounts of text without control sequences or newlines
709 could almost freeze output. This has been fixed by adding extra
710 refreshes in these cases (also a problem in original rxvt).
711
7125.6 Sun Jun 26 22:11:13 CEST 2005
713 - R_SB_RXVT bitset value was 0, so rxvt scrollbar was initialised
714 every time resulting in display errors (original rxvt also affected).
715 Reported by Jasmin Buchert.
716 - font names are now considered to be utf-8 encoded (xft apperently
717 uses this convention. X Core fonts might not, but it should be rare).
718 Affects display in iso14755 box.
719 - rewrote the low-level xft drawing function ("xft backend" for the
720 hipper parts of the world) to hopefully cope better with proportional
721 chars mixed with fixed-width ones.
722 - rxvt is now much more careful (read: slower) with potentially
723 overlapping xft characters. It usually overshoots and redraws
724 more than required, but that's better than undershooting and
725 cutting pieces off of characters.
726 - rxvt is now more restrictive in what font heights it accepts for
727 fonts that will likely overshoot or undershoot lines.
728 - fix a cosmetic problem with the unfocused cursor on a wide character
729 at the end of the line (reported by Mikachu).
730 - wide characters not fitting into the end of the line will be
731 output in the next line (reported by Mikachu).
732 - added doc/solaris9.patch by Ewgenij Starostin.
733
7345.5 Sat Apr 23 22:31:36 CEST 2005
735 - re-enabled modifer state matching as in 5.3, but implement
736 a new builtin: keysym style that simply reverts to the built-in
737 meaning of the given key.
738 - use scrollcolor for next scrollbar instead of hardcoded antiquewhite
739 (patch by Martin Edlman).
740
7415.4 Mon Apr 18 00:33:31 CEST 2005
742 - match modifier state exactly in custom keyboard code.
743 this is necessary because it has no knowledge about
744 built-in mappings and so will overwrite them. the priority-code
745 will be re-enabled when this has changed, so watch out.
746 - cursor blinking now depends on frills.
747 - underline cursor mode (frills, -uc).
748 - implement special value (*g*) for pointerBlankDelay
749 to disable it.
750
7515.3 Sun Mar 13 00:20:44 CET 2005
752 - fix a bug that allowed to overflow a buffer via a long
753 escape sequence, which is probably exploitable (fix by
754 Rob Holland / Yoann Vandoorselaere / Gentoo Audit Team).
755 - Custom key mappings no longer confuse mouse buttons
756 with modifiers.
757 - use XmbSetWMProperties instead of XSetWMProperties.
758 - properly update WM_LOCALE.
759 - implement _NET_WM_PING protocol.
760 - implemented escape sequences to move the scrollback buffer view
761 and clear the scrollback buffer.
762
7635.2 Sun Feb 20 01:48:59 CET 2005
764 - new option -pty-fd that makes the terminal a slave
765 that uses an existing pty for I/O instead of starting
766 a command.
767 - implement enough of XEMBED to allow for correct focus.
768 - added doc/embed-tk, an embedding example in Perl/Tk,
769 and doc/rxvt-tabbed, a primitive tabbed shell implemented
770 in Perl/Gtk2.
771 - fix assertion failure ("crash") on mousewheel-scrolling
772 when the terminal height is small, by removing the assert.
773 (reported by Mikael Magnusson=Mikachu).
774 - SYNCCVS. backported bugfixes done to rxvt
775 (sourceforge bugs #1028739, #1028732), except for
776 pts/%s fix as it seems to collide with freebsd,
777 and sourceforge bug #954654, which is not neccessary.
778 - change terminfo file to not clobber G1 when using
779 line-drawing characters, as this seems to mess
780 with EUC-JP (it will clobber G0, but G0 practically
781 needs to be US-ASCII all the time).
782 - toggle default application keypad/cursor mode to help
783 some apps who fail to set the correct mode.
784 - check for WM_PROTOCOLS type in ClientMessage as to
785 not destroy the window for other types of messages.
786 - remove shared library (or any library) support - it is
787 of no use currently (and -embed is a better way to embed
788 rxvt-unicode).
789 - get rid of the intpro files.
790
7915.1 Tue Feb 15 17:13:27 CET 2005
792 - fix a bug when parsing fontnames and another one
793 for empty keymaps which could result in crashes
794 (Kuang-che Wu).
795 - new option: -embed (frills). somebody could write a simple
796 tk script to make a tab'able terminal now...
797 - only warn on X errors and _try_ to continue (frills).
798 - add COPYING back, which got lost somehow.
799 - after deciding that LSM is dead, remove all traces of it,
800 along with other, similar, cleanups.
801 - _try_ to react sensibly to some non-monotonic time changes.
802 - don't crash in urxvtc when getcwd fails (reported by Paco-Paco).
803 - tweak font searching algorithm a bit to be faster and more
804 compatible with older rxvt-unicode versions when multiple fonts
805 match (reported by Paco-Paco).
806 - urxvtd tries to stay in "/" whenever possible.
807
8085.0 Fri Feb 11 18:31:48 CET 2005
809 - document a race-free hack to start urxvtd.
810 - document all(?) environment variables used and set by rxvt.
811 - bring xgetdefault-style resource file ordering more in line with
812 Xt, and document it in rxvt(1).
813 - correctly use screen-dependent resources when --enable-xgetdefault,
814 and also fix some memory bugs (thanks to Thierry Reding for
815 his patience and time in tracking this down).
816 - bring own resource parsing more in line with X resource parsing,
817 most notably, don't remove double quotes.
818 - compile fix for freebsd (no ut_id) (Thierry Thomas).
819 - clean up utmp and pty on X I/O errors and signals (idea
820 by Joël Riou).
821 - "un"document -xrm, it never really worked, was only
822 available with --enable-xgetdefault, is not necessary
823 and is surprisingly hard to implement.
824 - shaved off some code segment size.
825 - various code cleanups.
826 - more keysym-mapping fixes.
827
8284.9 Thu Feb 3 09:52:03 CET 2005
829 - nuke out utmp entries completely. Should be fixed in
830 original rxvt, too. (reported by James Michael Fultz).
831 - resizes wil now correctly refresh the displayed text when
832 -pixmap is active.
833 - new option/resource imFont.
834 - document --tripleclickwords/-tcw.
835 - select logical instead of physical lines when doing a triple-click.
836 - reordered help listing to group similar options together.
837 - handle SIGINT the same way as SIGTERM (reported by Joël Riou).
838 - fix a bug introduced while applying the keyboard patch
839 (WU Fengguang).
840 - document all window-op sequences (rxvt.7.) and more keysym
841 examples (rxvt.1).
842 - removed src/test completely.
843 - renamed keysym 'proto:'-prefix to 'command:'.
844
8454.8 Tue Jan 18 02:23:57 CET 2005
846 - added a patch by WU Fengguang that makes the keyboard
847 highly configurable (e.g. locale changes, custom escape
848 sequences, and more). See keysym resource in rxvt(1).
849 - remove default key sequence for unknown keys again, as this
850 can be achieved by customizing the keyboard now.
851 - fix some freeing problems when destroying the rxvt_display,
852 resulting in segfaults.
853 - don't crash when the saved cursor position doesn't fit on the
854 screen (wrong assert in original rxvt, reported by ikaro).
855 - fix signed/unsigned bugs on wc<->mb conversions.
856 - reset slipwheel scrolling speed when reaching the top or bottom
857 (Mikael Magnusson).
858 - for core fonts, use ascent + descent when a font is loaded,
859 and PIXEL_SIZE when not. when loading a font, iterate until a
860 font has been found that _really_ fits the height (reported and
861 tested by Olivier Wittenberg).
862 - set IUTF8 input flag, when defined (linux-2.6.5+).
863 - only define _XOPEN_SOURCE on solaris.
864 - autogenerate src/* dependency list.
865 - fixed linespace option, which ought to work now (and is dependent
866 on frills, not on it's own configure option).
867 - include pty.h, if available (cygwin).
868 - removed W11 directory from dist, it wasn't used anyway.
869 - initialize the locale much earlier.
870 - fixed two tiny per-instance memory leaks.
871
8724.7 Wed Dec 29 20:54:24 CET 2004
873 - fix a bug in the event logic that could cause the temrinal to be
874 black on initial startup.
875 - do NOT call XCloseIM, ever. This causes way to many crashes due to
876 races in the protocol and within Xlib.
877 - map iso-left-tab to the same sequence as shift-tab.
878 - generate a unique escape sequence for many unknown keys, such as
879 additional multimedia keys.
880 - mask out high (non-unicode) bits on wide characters, to cope with
881 implementations that store tag info in the high bits.
882
8834.6 Thu Dec 16 07:54:23 CET 2004
15 - try very hard not to exhaust the kernel tty buffers, even 884 - try very hard not to exhaust the kernel tty buffers, even
