rxvt-unicode changelog <= google-friendly title
+TODO: move pty/tty handling into a fork'ed server and drop all privs
TODO: harmonize --disable-options into position-dependent options.
TODO: after requesting the selection and getting a timeout, no further requests will be sent.
TODO: "slow" rendering mode for bidi and scripts
TODO: read property sequence is broken with respect to utf-8 etc.
TODO: http://www120.pair.com/mccarthy/nextstep/intro.htmld/Workspace.html is the correct nextstep look.
-WISH: OnTheSpot editing, or maybe switch to miiiiiiif
+TODO: clarify and get rid of SMOOTH_REFRESH etc.
+WISH: perl extension for background image loading and moving the origin.
+WISH: OnTheSpot editing, or maybe switch to miiiiiiif. or maybe use perl and an overlay...
WISH: just for fun, do shade and tint with XRender.
-WISH: make builtin character glyphs optional
-
-SECURITY FIX: systems using openpty (most BSDs) had wrong permissions on
-the tty. Other systems (such as GNU/Linux) were not affected. Bug fixes:
-the meta8 option ("weird alt key behaviour") is no longer forcefully
-enabled. New features: urxvt now supports embedded perl, which can already
-do useful things and will certainly be extended in the future.

-6.3
+WISH: support tex fonts
+
+9.0
+TODO: on_seelction_popup hook or so.
+TODO: echo * at bottom => borked line lengths
+ - new script: perl/selection-pastebin
+ - improved security of setuid/setgid operation, which is now
+ encouraged, 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.
+ - use the scrollback buffer even when the scroll region doesn't
+ span the whole screen, as long as it starts at row 0.
+ - 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.
+ - 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.
+ - perl-overlays and refresh hooks were not applied in correct order.
+ - changed coordinate-system of view_start/nsaved to be top to bottom.
+ - complete overhaul of the pty/utmp management stuff and configure
+ (Emanuele Giaquinta).
+ - removed src/strings.C and src/menubar.C. No menubar support
+ anymore.
+ - add tsl/fsl and related capabilities to the terminfo description,
+ to set the window title.
+ - removed all traces of SMOOTH_REFRESH.
+ - nuked QNX support.
+
+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.
+
+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,
1.8 Mon Feb 2 20:09:18 CET 2004
- almost total conversion to C++. Except for introducing
new bugs, this should not change much.
- - fix and re-enable background pixmap and inherit pixmap support.
- - re-enabled multiple scrollbar support.
- - added plain scrollbar style and restored xterm scrollbar.
+ - fix and re-enable background pixmap and inherit pixmap support.
+ - re-enabled multiple scrollbar support.
+ - added plain scrollbar style and restored xterm scrollbar.
- blinking and selections work slightly better now.
- fix an error condition when rxvt receives more than one screenful
of output. should occur with original rxvt, too, but very rarely.
