Debian Changelog rxvt-unicode (7.9-2)

2006

rxvt-unicode (7.9-2) unstable; urgency=low

   * Edit the comments in the app-defaults file, and disable all settings by
     default. If font autoselection fails, I would prefer to open a new bug
     specifically for that. (Closes: #385481)
   * Reorganize and edit README.Debian, pushing as much as possible into FAQ
     format (with resource setting issues first).

rxvt-unicode (7.7-1) unstable; urgency=low

   * Adopting package. (Closes: #348719)
   * The following bugs have been fixed in previous Debian revisions:
     - An x-terminal-emulator alternative is provided (Closes: #314977)
     - /dev/tty is now readable by default (this was actually a bug in makedev
       which was not reassigned for some reason.) (Closes: #246059)
   * New upstream release:
     - Cleans up eaves zombie shell processes in urxvtd (Closes: #339833)
     - Handling of bold "special" characters fixed (Closes: #294582)
     - Setting/pasting of PRIMARY selection fixed (Closes: #328965, #291587)
     - #284257, should no longer happen, but I don't have a PPC.
   * Rebuild against new Xft (Closes: #352168, #351371)
   * Enable Perl support in rxvt-unicode-ml.
   * Switch from dpatch to quilt.
   * Fix documentation of utmp/wtmp permissions (Closes: #342738)
   * Add FSF address to debian/copyright.
   * Remove -D from install call (breaks with Ubuntu's coreutils).
   * Set resource class to URxvt and fallback class to Rxvt for all flavors.
     (Closes: #263123, #270160)
   * Document the fact that $TERM defaults to rxvt-unicode (not rxvt), and how
     to change this with X resources. Users do not (and should not) have to
     compile terminfo entries, so remove these from examples; ncurses-base
     provides a proper one already. (Closes: #351872)
   * Install alternative for rxvt.1.gz. (Closes: #355069)
   * Specify default fontset in app-defaults. (Closes: #348666)
   * Removed debian/urxvtc.1 (superseded by upstream).
   * Run pod2man using the name (i.e page heading) "urxvt" rather than "rxvt".
     (Closes: #354904)
   * Added urxvtcd script to automatically start urxvtd if necessary and run
     urxvtc. (Closes: #347434)
   * Added watch file.

rxvt-unicode (6.3-1) unstable; urgency=low

   * New upstream release
     + From upstream changelog: - 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).
     + From upstream changelog: - meta8 support was forcefully enabled in most
       configurations.  restored configurability of this (useless) feature
       (reported by Mikachu). (closes: #346150, reopen if it doesn't)
