7.9 Mon Aug 7 18:16:07 CEST 2006
- fix the crashing bug people encountered with 7.8 + urxvtd + perl
+ transparency. Oight to fix debian bug #380348.
- fix urxvtc.1.pod: it actually claimed -pty-fd would not work. But
it does! :->
- rxvt_fatal() in case the locale string is too long for our static buffer.
- fixed many, many, typos in the manpages (patch supplied by ves).
7.8 Mon Jul 17 21:00:46 CEST 2006
- INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: this version will always read ~/.Xdefaults,
earlier versions only read it if display-resources (usually from
.Xresources) are not set. This avoids the #1 FAQ ("why isn't my
resource used") and seems to be logical behaviour, too. .Xdefaults
resources have a lower priority than display-specific resources.
- add "kuake" perl extension that does a similar thing to the kuake
terminal emulator (see man urxtvperl).
- use less "correct" color scaling that is compatible with libX11 and
Xft (avoids off-by-one colors resulting in striped backgrounds).
- the "depth" resource is now respected.
- preset the searchable-scrollback pattern with "(?i)" to default search
to case-insensitivity. Will automatically be cleared when typing an
uppercase character.
- add FORCE_UNBUFFERED_XFT define to features.h.
- re-enabled highlightcolor support with --enable-frills, based on
a patch by Martin Stubenschrott.
- double-buffered xft drawing did suffer from pixel offset issues
when pixmap transparency was enabled.
- strategically add # to the url-match regexes, as we really want to
match common URIs not common URLs. Reported by Aaron Griffin.
- moved on_osc_seq to on_osc_seq_perl and added a more
generic osc_seq.
- fix a bug causing double callback invocations when perl hooks
were invoked recursively.
- the automove-background extension now properly works when the
pixmap gets reset with an osc sequence (sqweek).
- selection-pastebin did not work properly with non-latin1-characters.
- apply colorUL only when the text colour is the default fg
(patch by Wu Fengguang).
- removed rxvtlib.h from the tarball, it had no reason to be there
(spotted by Decklin Foster).
- fix compiling with TRANSPARENT but !XPM_BACKGROUND, as reported
by omatunto_.
- slap in a using namespace std, might help on platforms that don't
follow C++ closely enough.
- fix mailto url regex, spotted within milliseconds by Jost Krieger.
- applied fade_color_update_func.patch by WU Fengguang.
- fix a bug where (due to an optimisation in av_delete), hiding the
bottom-most overlay would hide two overlays.
7.7 Tue Feb 21 12:32:49 CET 2006
- use double-buffered drawing (xft fonts only). On many driver/hardware
combination this actually increases xft drawing speed, at the expense
of more network bandwidth and slight nausea on the side of the author.
- readline perl extension now requires shift-click instead of a normal
click, and eats the click.
- tabbed perl extension now supports -e.
- disabled graphics-exposures on the main drawing GC, report any
refresh bugs please.
- improve property handling for -pe tabbed: avoid unnecessary property
changes (for kde's benefit) at the expense of extra round-trips,
improve size hint setting.
- modified XIM according to a patch sent by Takano Akio that sets
the preedit rectangle for OverTheSpot, which helps some input methods
to correctly position their preedit window.
- un-optimise the line clearing on newly scrolled-in lines a bit: the
former reasoning was that any fg colour on default bg looks the same
in empty spaces, but thats not true when reversing (e.g. selection),
so also check for matching fg colours. This fixes the problem where
selecting newly scrolled-in lines would exhibit wrong colours.
- fix a bug in the perl interface causing focus in events to generate
focus out perl events, causing bad focus effects with -pe tabbed.
- fix a race resulting in a crash on exiting.
- fix a with --disable-xft that caused xfreecolors to be called on
colors never allocated, resulting in aborts (reported by Paco-Paco).
- resources on non-initial screens weren't refetched correctly
(reported by Paco-Paco).
- fix a bug in xcopyarea pass and _disable_ it, as it seems not to be
working in either rxvt-unicode nor in the original rxvt.
- removed undocumented -exec alias for the -e option.
7.6 Fri Feb 10 08:52:36 CET 2006
- changed interpretation of [alpha] colour prefix.
- +option now really sets the option to default, instead of using the
resource value.
- options that require an argument now really _require_ an argument.
- the tabbed extension now forwards focus and keys events to th
relevant tab window.
- tab colours are now configurable and have sensible defaults
(initial patch by hednod).
- option menu is extendable, readline, selection and
selection-autotransform can now be disabled/enabled at runtime.
- forcing a configure event to tabbed subwindows with -pe tabbed, for
the benefit of automove-background.
- the automove-background extension added a wrong constant offset.
- force refresh of XA_RESOURCE_STRING on virtual reconnect.
- return exit status 2 in urxvtc when urxvtd couldn't be contacted.
- the linux yield hack is back, now using usleep, and enabled only on
__linux__.
- further round trip eliminations in the !XFT case by remembering
the colour components.
- plain scrollbar works better with -sr.
- fixed half-shadow scrollbar look.
- more colour rtt optimisations.
- properly(?) free colours on window close.
- reorganised the FAQ into multiple sections.
- add ISO646.1991-IRV to the list of supported codesets.
- minor libptytty update.
since they always need a C compiler, even when the source code is
completely in C++.
For some other packages, stated in the comment that a C compiler is
really not needed.
developer is officially maintaining the package.
The rationale for changing this from "tech-pkg" to "pkgsrc-users" is
that it implies that any user can try to maintain the package (by
submitting patches to the mailing list). Since the folks most likely
to care about the package are the folks that want to use it or are
already using it, this would leverage the energy of users who aren't
developers.
7.5 Tue Jan 31 15:15:43 CET 2006
- further improvements to the careful mode detection, and font width
detection:
- fully double-wide fonts will now be correctly treated,
- overlap detection was improved.
- detect totally broken fonts (usually synthesized by xft).
- careful mode forced refresh sometimes clashed with blinking,
causing unnecessary screen redraws.
- better handling of XFT combining characters.
- enable antialiasing for some replacement fonts, as they
might get used for other encodings which really need it, later.
- remove spacing=100 from all default fonts, as this creates totally
weird spacing (5 times normal) with xft.
- removed iso10646 fallback, as xorgs iso10646 encoded fonts are mostly
broken.
- removed gnu unifont fallback, all combining characters are broken.
- replace named colours by xorg's rgb.txt equivalents, to
reduce round trip time on startup, and short-cut allocation
of rgb:rr/gg/bb for xft.
- short-cut allocation of rgb values in the xlib case
(patch by Paco-Paco).
- overhauled color management: smaller codesize, alpha support.
- support "rgba:rrrr/gggg/bbbb/aaaa" color specifications and
an "[alpha]" prefix.
- try to work around Xft and Xrender forcing everything to be 100%
transparent. Long Live Xft!
- do not include X11/Intrinsic.h anymore, directly use
Xlib/Xutil/Xresource directly.
- try to find a nearest matching color when color allocation fails
on a pseudocolor screen.
- SYNCCVS: compared to rxvt-cvs 2006-01-28, no relevant changes.
- fix version report (DA) (which was unfortunately broken).
- changed version number report again, now to emulate xterm closer.
- added the OSC sequence 702 to detect the urxvt version number.
- small configure updates.
- further RTT optimisations.
7.4 Sat Jan 28 15:26:27 CET 2006
- screen background wasn't always erased properly when scrolling,
- re-enabled clearing optimisation disabled in 7.4pre.
- small configure updates for libptytty.
- fixed version options: line output.
- removed stoopid debugging message left in the code.
7.3 Wed Jan 25 22:47:35 CET 2006
- don't let iso14755 or mouse reporting get into the way of perl
(could lead to global grabs never being cleared).
- experimental OnTheSpot editing support (-pe xim-onthespot).
- moved Shift-Button2 paste combination to Meta-Button2.
- the cutchars resource will now be respected and used by the
selection extension.
- added the "remote-clipboard" extension which just runs external
commands to fetch and store the selection data.
- added -depth switch that tries to get a different visual depth
than the default (replaces the old PREFER_24_BIT logic).
- removed (unused) arabic presentation form composing sequences.
- be more strict when deciding that a core font glyph is too wide and
needs the careful rendering mode.
- allow more leeway for italic fonts when deciding that a character is
too wide and needs careful mode.
- redraw even more characters around characters using careful mode.
- made selection-pastebin fully asynchronous.
- reduced number of server turnarounds at startup by allocating
atoms only once per display.
- renamed on_keyboard_command to on_user_command.
- changed version sos (ESC [ > c) response to be more compatible with
xterm.
7.2 Sun Jan 22 21:58:16 CET 2006
- bugfix: urxvt (not urxvtd) did not correctly handle multiple
environments necessary, which resulted in segfaults within
getenv (reproducable: urxvt -fn 9x15, open a menu once,
ctrl-shift-672c).
- bugfix: the selection speedup in in 7.1 unfortunately caused
non-ascii characters to enlarge/move the selection.
- bugfix: resizing sometimes leaked lines from the secondary to
the primary screen.
- bugfix: reducing window size while large amounts of text were output
could lead to an assertion failure.
- added "tabbed" extension that provides a crude tabbed terminal.
- added "readline" extension that allows cursor positioning
via mouse clicks.
- now it is possible to insert the value of the CLIPBOARD selection
with shift - mouse button 2.
- fixed the automove-background extension to ignore coordinates
in non-synthetic events.
- created a separate libpty for portable and secure
pty/tty/utmp/wtmp/lastlog handling, and include it in rxvt-unicode.
- the non-terminfo visual bell now works asynchronously, so
continuous ASCI BELs in one terminal do no longer monopolise the
whole urxvt[d] process.
- support some *BSD makes (for the time being, gnu make is a safe bet).
- work around bugs in FreeBSD's gcc.
- implemented some *BSD fixes in configure.
- removed support for obsolete offix dnd protocol.
7.1 Thu Jan 19 20:25:34 CET 2006
- setuid/setgid operation is now _encouraged_: security has been
improved by moving privileged operations into a separate process
and permanently dropping privileges within the terminal. This
makes it possible to remove security checks from the perl code
and gives a much safer feeling when urxvt needs to run with
special privileges.
- perl taint checking disabled, as urxvt no longer runs setuid/setgid
itself.
- new perl extension automove-background that can be used to get
the same effect as pseudo-transparency with any pixmap.
- new perl extension example: perl/selection-pastebin, can be used to
e.g. upload the selection to a webserver and generate a url, or
similar stuff.
- use the scrollback buffer even when the scroll region doesn't
span the whole screen, as long as it starts at row 0. Helps
for programs displaying a status line at the bottom.
- selection popup now shows selection in dec/hex/oct.
- perl/selection: matching on unicode characters in the selection
code was O(n²), which equals infinity in some degenerate cases
:-> Matching is now done on UTF-8, which makes it almost instant.
- perl/selection, perl/selection-autotransform: regexes are now
being interpreted in the locale urxvt was started.
- implemented override-redirect option and enabled it on menus,
as kwin puts our windows behind the terminal (what a shoddy wm).
- fixed struct utmp check in configure for OpenBSD.
- complete overhaul of the pty/utmp management stuff and configure
(Emanuele Giaquinta).
- add tsl/fsl and related capabilities to the terminfo description,
to set the window title.
- swap the environment in some more cases. This hopefully fixes
some segfaults that might be caused by xft asking for env variables
at the wrong time.
- removed src/strings.C and src/menubar.C. No menubar support
anymore.
- removed all traces of SMOOTH_REFRESH.
- nuked QNX support.
- made some fixes to xpm offset and scaling code.
- perl-overlays and refresh hooks were not applied in correct order.
- changed coordinate-system of view_start/nsaved to be top to bottom.
- iom extended to support listening for child exits.
7.0 Fri Jan 13 14:02:18 CET 2006
- added sections for DISTRIBUTION MAINTAINERS and about
SETUID/SETGID to the FAQ.
- selection, searchable-scrollback, selection-popup and
option-popup extensions enabled by default.
- increased xft drawing speed for problematic fonts. The effect
will likely be small as 99% of the xft slowness is server-related.
- perl: much increased functionality, better overlays, popup support
and much much more.
- perl: urxvt::line now can set via ->t and ->r.
- perl: changed interpretation of --perl-ext-common and -pe.
- perl: finally implemented --perl-eval.
- perl: non-blocking anyevent support.
- perl: run tainted and ignore perl-eval/perl-lib if started
setuid/setgid.
- free the resource database: this plugs a massive memory leak. As a
side effect, it also gets rid of XGetDefault calls.
- free one of the cursors, fixes a small memory leak.
- built-in (as opposed to terminfos) visual bell was broken/too fast.
- applied minor cleanups by Ladislav Michnovic.
- applied pty handling cleanups and improvements (Emanuele Giaquinta).
- mark-urls launch-on-click by jepler.
- removed "small" resource parsing function, as it wasn't really
compatible, and not really small either.
- removed PATH_ENV and PATH file search support.
- removed support for locale-specific app-defaults file.
- fixed a bug where out-of-bounds colour sequences could lead
to crashes.
- limit colour changing to the standard 88 palette instead of all
colours.
- XTerm_Color01 sequence returned wrong results in query mode.
- iom.C now checks against destructed io_manager when unregistering.
Add perl to TOOLS, since configure stops if it's not found.
6.3 Wed Jan 4 22:37:10 CET 2006
- SECURITY FIX: on systems using openpty, permissions were
not correctly updated on the tty device and were left as
world-readable and world-writable (likely in original rxvt,
too), and were not restored properly. Affected are only
systems where non-unix ptys were used (such as most BSDs, not
GNU/Linux). (found, patched and debugged by Ryan Beasley).
- meta8 support was forcefully enabled in most configurations.
restored configurability of this (useless) feature (reported
by Mikachu).
- optionally embed a perl interpreter, which can be used for more
intelligent/customized selection support, visual feedback,
menus, tabs etc. See the the urxvtperl manpage, the -pe option,
perl*-resources and keysym resources. Not everything is there yet.
- try to be more clever about differing font sizes and their ascent.
Not guarenteed to work, but works better in most cases now.
- fix directory permissions on install.
- implemented option to disable built-in line drawing characters
and fall back to the font ones (patch by Martin Pohlack).
- disabled sched_yield support: the linux version is just too useless
(it schedules nice'd processes before the own one for extended
periods). Too bad, it could reduce system time by a factor of 5 here.
6.2 Mon Jan 2 16:03:01 CET 2006
- implemented intensityStyles option which enables/disables bold/blink
selecting high intensity foreground/background colours, suggested by
Chuck Blake.
- move iso14755 character feedback box out of the way if it would
obscure the mouse cursor position.
- replaced callback.h by a fixed version from gvpe that correctly
returns the callback result (affects new -pty-fd semantics in urxvtc
on a few architectures). Reported by darix.
- include one trailing space in rectangular selections to indicate
the inserted newline (yeah, weird, but visually more pleasing).
- try to use sched_yield to (drastically) improve terminal data
transfer efficiency.
- further minor cleanups.
6.1 Tue Dec 27 13:23:40 CET 2005
- update iso8859-7 table (euro and drachma round-trip et al.).
- fix a crash when the selection scrolls out of the scrollback
while the user still drags.
- selections that were partially scrolled out of the window were
not drawn correctly.
- lines newly scrolled in were not initialized properly, leading
to extremely long lines and (hopefully) some segfaults.
- iso14755 overlay position was wrong.
- iso14755 overlay now displays rendition info, too.
- use unicode white space class instead of hardcoded values for
stripping whitespace.
- do whitespace stripping on rectangular selections.
- slight cleanups in src/features.h.
6.0 Sat Dec 24 13:58:56 CET 2005
- make it compile without SMART_RESIZE again.
- enable slow link support by default.
- fix relative cursor-positioning not respecting scrolling regions
(also a bug in original rxvt).
- initialize termios structure to zero when fetching it fails
(see http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=84647 for a
partial patch).
- bump max columns/rows to 10000 each.
- bump max savelines to 10000000.
- -pty-fd now passes the urxvtc fd to the urxvtd process.
- avoid linking against -lnsl/-lsocket/-lxpg4 unless neccessary.
- major code cleanup (still not complete, though).
- implement -hold option.
- _major_ rewrite of internal buffer handling:
- re-flow on resize, lines get wrapped instead of winged.
- circular line buffer (substantially speeds up scrolling).
- slightly less code + data memory usage per terminal.
- slight overall speed improvements.
- considerably improved code clarity.
- partial-screen scrolls no longer end up in the scrollback
buffer.
5.9 Sat Dec 17 21:53:17 CET 2005
- fix a bug in the menu code of unknown impact, found by darix.
- clean up signal handling to be global, not per terminal
(matters only for rxvtd).
- fix small typoe in rxvt.1 (found by Mike Fabian).
- don't crash when broken xft/fontconfig/freetype versions return
bogus data, ignore the xft font instead (experienced on suse).
(maintainer) in PR pkg/31930.
Changes:
- INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: many configure options are now on by default.
If you want the old behaviour, try:
configure --disable-everything <your enable options>
- INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: -fade changed its meaning to comply with
the documentation and common sense: when upgrading, replace your
percentage by 100-percentage.
- integrated "fade to specific colour" patch by Martin Parm.
- slow down the internal visual bell (delay by 20ms) and update
the terminfo flash code to use the same delay. This is
synchronous, so many bells might inhibit screen updates in other
windows.
- text with background==foreground colour gets displayed with default
bg/fg now when in reverse video, so it can be seen when selecting.
- allow koi8r* as x11 encoding name for koi8r (Nikita Danilov).
- removed undocumented inheritPixmapforce option.
- replaced INSTALL file.
rxvt-unicode is a clone of the well known terminal emulator rxvt,
modified to store text in Unicode (either UCS-2 or UCS-4) and to use
locale-correct input and output. It also supports mixing multiple
fonts at the same time, including Xft fonts.
