1 root 1.462 rxvt-unicode changelog <= google-friendly title
2    
3 root 1.933 TODO: xcopyarea pass broken, fix and improve
4     TODO: event mechanism that replaces on_user_command with something more scalable.
5     TODO: slipwheeling needs a keyboard grab to get key release events.
6     TODO: overlays collide with the way the out-of-focus cursor is being drawn
7     TODO: "slow" rendering mode for bidi and scripts, pango!
8     TODO: read property sequence is broken with respect to utf-8 etc.
9     TODO: slow drag selection on remote display - other things seem fast (rxvt illness, motion hints?)
10     TODO: better resource handling for tabbar in -pe tabbed.
11     WISH: investigate -pe tabbed -g 80x25 being 23 not 24 or 25 lines
12     => when setting the constraints, the wm might (correctly)
13     resize the outer window, which might result in a smaller window overall.
14     or something like that. guys, send me a patch.
15     WISH: coloured pastebin
16     WISH: load system-wide config file even if we don't have one
17     WISH: look into XAddConnectionWatch, does anybody need that?
18     DUMB: support tex fonts
19 root 1.985 TODO: decrqm http://ue.tst.eu/71d7dbd1fcfeaa7d2a4b96eb957d570c.txt
20 root 1.947 TODO: perl-shell-window? perl-unix-socket?
21 root 1.973 TODO: command line editing when icanon?
22 sf-exg 1.1051 TODO: split ROW into a ROW_fast (0..total*2-1) and ROW macros?
23 root 1.933
24 sf-exg 1.1063 - fix parsing of bg image styles. They really work now.
25 sf-exg 1.1064 - fix blurring of bg image borders when using xrender.
26 sf-exg 1.1068 - fix xrender blur on common xrender implementations that do
27     not behave correctly when the same pixmap is used as source
28     and destination in composite operations.
29     - fix regression that caused tabbed to compute the wrong size
30     for tabs.
31 sf-exg 1.1067 - allow again an empty suffix in a keysym list spec (patch by
32     Sung Pae).
33 sf-exg 1.1063
34 root 1.1062 9.14 Wed Dec 21 18:40:33 CET 2011
35 sf-exg 1.1052 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: the urxvtd default socket path is now
36     $HOME/.urxvt/urxvtd-<nodename>.
37 mikachu 1.1058 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: the "list" keysym expansion now requires
38     loading of the "keysym-list" perl extension.
39 sf-exg 1.1038 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: A scale value of 0 in the bg image
40     geometry no longer enables tiling, so as to make it possible
41     to disable both scaling and tiling.
42 mikachu 1.1058 - overhaul of the bg image operations. The old operations have
43     been deprecated in favour of elementary operations and
44     styles built on top of the new operations and scale/position
45     settings. (Emanuele Giaquinta).
46     - support for libafterimage is deprecated and will be removed
47     in the next release.
48     - fix a crash caused by selection_check not properly resetting
49     out-of-bounds mark values (can happen when extending a selection
50     while scrolling up in curses programs for example).
51     - do not move the selection when scrolling up and the selection is
52     outside the scrolling region (Emanuele Giaquinta).
53     - fix display of bold bright black (reported by Ben Winslow).
54     - fix memory leak when urgentOnBell is set (patch by Nathaniel
55     Filardo).
56     - fix a redraw bug that occurs when a bg pixmap is set and the
57     wm does not honour the size hints set by urxvt. Now urxvt
58     forces the size of the terminal window to be a multiple of
59     the cell size.
60 sf-exg 1.1034 - sanitise the argument of SD / SU sequences. Fixes a possible
61     crash when the argument is big enough, red hat bug #711137
62     (Emanuele Giaquinta).
63 mikachu 1.1058 - correctly split long lines when scrolling.
64 sf-exg 1.1051 - urxvt now looks for perl extensions also in $HOME/.urxvt/ext.
65     - add bell-command perl extension to execute a command when a
66     bell event occurs (Ryan Kavanagh).
67 sf-exg 1.1055 - add set_urgency perl binding to set/reset the urgency hint.
68 sf-tpope 1.1041 - consume button release event in matcher (exg).
69 sf-tpope 1.1042 - keyboard accessible list of recent matches in matcher
70     (Bob Farrell).
71 sf-exg 1.1043 - properly process 'keysym' sequences in tabbed when using
72     'focus follows mouse' and the focus is on the main window
73     but not on the active terminal window (patch by Martin
74     Pohlack).
75 root 1.1059 - support for the freedesktop startup-notification protocol (patch by
76 mikachu 1.1048 Michael Stapelberg).
77 mikachu 1.1058 - the direction of VPR and VPB commands was reversed.
78 root 1.1059 - fix alignment of inherited root pixmap when it is a different size
79 mikachu 1.1057 than the root window and the terminal window is off the left or top
80     edge (Mikachu).
81 mikachu 1.1061 - make $self visible in "eval perl expression" popup action, also
82     handle exceptions better.
83 sf-exg 1.1060 - fix parsing of '-e' when it occurs as an option argument, such as in
84     'urxvt -title -e' (Emanuele Giaquinta).
85 sf-exg 1.1034
86 root 1.1033 9.12 Wed Jun 29 14:34:28 CEST 2011
87 mikachu 1.1058 - fix regression in processing of SelectionNotify events.
88     urxvt would fail to request a selection if the owner did not
89     support the UTF8_STRING target.
90     - fix rendering of double width chars in certain circumstances, more
91     likely to happen if urxvt is compiled with 256 colors support as
92     urxvt runs out of fonts much earlier then. Fixes gentoo bug #358151
93     (Emanuele Giaquinta).
94     - restore support for 'list' syntax in keysym resources (requested by Sung Pae).
95 root 1.1028 - always premultiply colour values - while this increases differences between
96 mikachu 1.1058 core fonts and xft, it is "more correct" in practical situations.
97     - disable PTYTTY_REENTRANT option - not needed for urxvt and saves a bit of code.
98     - remove lucidatypewriter from the list of fallback fonts, it was the only
99     non-xft non-cellfont in the list anyway.
100 sf-exg 1.1026
101 sf-exg 1.1025 9.11 Mon May 2 10:34:46 CEST 2011
102 mikachu 1.1058 - fix compilation on GNU/Hurd, debian bug #624736.
103     - remove 'list' syntax for keysym resources, as it serves no useful purpose.
104     If you need it, poke us and provide a use case.
105     - fix alpha channel support. Premultiply alpha in colours if the visual
106     supports an alpha channel, as xrender expects premultiplied alpha
107     (Emanuele Giaquinta).
108     - fix reply to a selection request sent by an obsolete client
109     such as syncterm (patch by Marcin Cieslak).
110 sf-exg 1.1019 - fix crash when the window is resized and the overlay is active
111     (Emanuele Giaquinta, reported by Ryan Kavanagh).
112 mikachu 1.1058 - match character-wise rather than byte-wise in selection
113     extension again. perl 5.8.9+ is required to avoid extreme
114     slowdowns. Fixes debian bugs #523072, #616463.
115     - fix a possible crash if the INCR transfer process for a
116     selection property timeouts and at least one chunk is
117     received. (Emanuele Giaquinta)
118 sf-exg 1.1020 - work around a memory corruption bug in xorg's XrmSetDatabase (apparently
119 mikachu 1.1058 broken since http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/xorg-commit-diffs/2004-March/000239.html).
120     - fix memory corruption bug when custom command sequences bound to keys
121     were injected into an already-full pty input buffer.
122     - gdk-pixbuf is autodetected by default and preferred over libafterimage.
123     - do not prepend a newline to the selection text when the starting line
124     of the selection is not highlighted (Emanuele Giaquinta).
125 root 1.988 - don't swap perl env with real env, save and restore it, just in case
126 mikachu 1.1058 we ever get recursive perl invocations. also saves a bit of codespace
127     with gcc.
128     - fix various memory leaks (Emanuele Giaquinta).
129     - fix typo in kIC terminfo capability, debian bug #446444.
130     - document 'thickness' resource.
131     - fix debian bug #504817, to the extent possible.
132 sf-exg 1.1014 - try to detect byte order at compile time, saves a couple of
133 mikachu 1.1058 hundred bytes, if your compiler is smart enough.
134     - add support for previewing the pasted data in confirm-paste
135     (Emanuele Giaquinta).
136     - added "newlines to spaces" option in selection-popup.
137     - actually enabled solaris event ports backend (was disabled by accident).
138     - revert to 38400 baud max., mission accomplished.
139     - no longer create scary "pty_fill: PLEASE REPORT" message, instead,
140     silently drain the input (problem is well understood now).
141     - no longer swallow rob nation's own graphics mode commands.
142 root 1.988
143 root 1.987 9.10 Mon Dec 13 17:43:52 CET 2010
144 root 1.990 - the "schmorp=north korea dickey=south korea" release.
145 mikachu 1.1058 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: make OSC 20 simpler and more correct
146     (Emanuele Giaquinta).
147 root 1.982 - if options were compiled out, this could lead to the option
148 mikachu 1.1058 count to be defined wrongly. This is likely behind the
149     failures with gcc 4.5.
150     - explicitly depend on fontconfig and xrender when xft support
151     is enabled. Although the public Xft api uses types from
152     both, in Xft 2.2.0 these libs are private
153     dependencies only thanks to an idiotic behaviour of
154     pkg-config that was added to workaround cases like this one.
155     Fixes linking when using GNU ld with --as-needed or GNU gold
156     (based on patch by Jan Palus).
157     - fix minor memory leaks in urxvt and urxvtd.
158     - fix regression in urxvtd that prevented options from being correctly
159     set (reported by Michal Vaner).
160 sf-exg 1.978 - implement xterm's horribly broken 1005 mouse reporting mode,
161 mikachu 1.1058 and an alternative 1015 mode that works in non-utf-8 locales
162     and has fewer limitations.
163 sf-exg 1.977 - fix a possible bug where mouse notifications didn't work after
164 mikachu 1.1058 startup for the upper left corner.
165     - implement our own pixbuf to pixmap rendering to get rid of
166     dependency on buggy gdk-pixbuf-xlib. Only truecolor visuals
167     are supported (Emanuele Giaquinta).
168     - apply tinting before shading when both operations are requested.
169     Previously they were intermixed when lightening and the result
170     was inaccurate and confusing. Note that now a black tint yields a
171     completely black image, regardless of shading (Emanuele Giaquinta).
172     - avoid spurious redraws of the bg image when bg is transparent or
173     when using 'root' mode (Emanuele Giaquinta).
174     - fix build on XFree86.
175     - dynamically number options according to compiletime requirements.
176     For the extra saved byte. Or so. Yay.
177     - start options at one, not zero. Wastes a bit per terminal. Maybe.
178     saves 50 instruction bytes. Possibly.
179 sf-exg 1.975
180 root 1.974 9.09 Sat Nov 13 01:39:07 CET 2010
181     - NOTICE: this release updates terminfo/termcap.

183 mikachu 1.1058 - it was verified that urxvt handles µ and μ correctly.
184 sf-exg 1.961 - add support for blending and blurring with XRender (Emanuele Giaquinta).
185     - add support for using gdk-pixbuf as image backend (Emanuele Giaquinta).
186 root 1.974 - cleanup and minor fixes of the image code (Emanuele Giaquinta).
187 sf-exg 1.957 - new perl extension "confirm-paste" (Emanuele Giaquinta).
188 sf-exg 1.955 - new on_tt_paste perl hook and tt_paste perl binding (Emanuele Giaquinta).
189 sf-exg 1.959 - new on_bell perl hook (Emanuele Giaquinta).
190     - searchable-scrollback no longer ignores the first line
191     (Emanuele Giaquinta).

195     is not fully convertible to STRING (patch by James Cloos).
196 mikachu 1.1058 - fix a buffer overflow that would cause wrong key sequences to
197     be generated for numpad keys (introduced in 9.05).
198     - fix definition of sgr0 to work around limitations in luit.
199 root 1.947 - extend ISO 14755 5.4 mode to also print the font name of the
200     characters other than first one in the selected cell
201     (Emanuele Giaquinta).
202     - new iso14755 option to disable ISO 14755 at runtime
203 mikachu 1.1058 (Emanuele Giaquinta).
204 root 1.947 - make sure pagewise scrolling scrolls at least one line
205 mikachu 1.1058 (found by Mikachu).
206 sf-exg 1.956 - remove deprecated OSC 18 / 19 and make OSC 17 / 19 apply to
207     highlightColor / highlightTextColor (Emanuele Giaquinta).
208 sf-exg 1.945 - add highlightTextColor resource to change the foreground colour of
209 sf-exg 1.956 highlighted characters (Emanuele Giaquinta).
210 sf-exg 1.945 - make highlightColor apply also to selected cells with reverse video
211 sf-exg 1.956 but not to non selected cells with reverse video (Emanuele Giaquinta).
212 sf-exg 1.945 - remove colorRV resource (it was enabled only with frills off).
213 root 1.941 - fix numlock handling, the most longstanding bug to date (Emanuele Giaquinta).
214 mikachu 1.1058 - reduce the number of custom bits to 4, to make room
215     for 256 colours.
216 sf-exg 1.959 - add support for 256 colors (Emanuele Giaquinta, Marc Lehmann).
217 mikachu 1.1058 - add rxvt-unicode-256color terminfo and use it by default in 256 colors mode.
218     - update rxvt-unicode terminfo to state 7744 colour pairs to cover all
219     88*88 possible pairs.
220     - actually added macosx-clipboard-native, which should have been in
221     the 9.07 release but had been forgotten.
222     - fix hang if DECAWM is not set and there are not enough columns to insert a
223     character (Emanuele Giaquinta).
224     - cub1 ("backspace") will now respect wrapping when past the rightmost column,
225     working around a shortcoming of most tty line discipline's line editing.
226 sf-exg 1.935 - add support for grabbing the clipboard selection and extend
227     selection{_clear,_grab,} perl bindings to optionally work
228     on the clipboard selection (based on patch by Dana Jansens).
229 mikachu 1.1058 - no longer force CERASE to BACKSPACE - use the system default. affects
230     default value for VERASE only when no compatible setting for
231     backspacekey was given.
232     - use higher than 38400 baudrate setting, if detected.
233     - erase screen would clear to the wrong background when blinking
234     was enabled (which selects high intensity under some circumstances).
235     - scr_kill_char didn't touch the line.
236     - upgrade and port to libev-4.01.
237     - enabled solaris event ports and kqueue backends (if available).
238 sf-exg 1.930
239 root 1.928 9.07 Wed Dec 30 07:07:18 CET 2009
240 root 1.916 - port to glibc-2.10 changes (strchr etc. returning const char *
241 mikachu 1.1058 in C++), based on patches by Milos Jakubicek and Oliver Mader.
242     - the binary search algorithm to find precomposed characters
243     was faulty, skipping some possible combinations (found by
244     Mikachu).
245     - new -letterspace option, patch by Mark H. Wilkinson.
246 root 1.910 - enable --mlock option for urxvt with frills on
247 mikachu 1.1058 systems supporting it (patch by Russell Harmon).
248 root 1.908 - urxvt did not compile without frills enabled
249 mikachu 1.1058 (analysed by Matthew Rosewarne).
250     - correctly reset the mbstate after an illegal
251     input sequence when handling terminal output (Emanuele Giaquinta).
252     - avoid redrawing wide characters with combining enabled on every
253     refresh (reported by Mikachu).
254     - fix a typo preventing the ISO-646.1991 character set from being
255     recognized (http://achurch.org/patch-pile/).
256     - better warning for x11 font encoding detection failures, also,
257     try to deduce encoding from both font properties and name
258     (adapted from http://achurch.org/patch-pile/).
259     - resizing the window with the scrollbar disabled via the escapes
260     sequence could make the window bigger again (Mikachu).
261     - make sure the alignment for fd passing control messages
262     is correct and work around some NetBSD issues (Taylor R Campbell).
263     - update to libptytty 1.3.

267     - assertions in libev are now enabled depending on frills.
268     - update AnyEvent implementation to version 5.23 API.
269     - work around arrogant bsd idiocies again: netbsd spills the default
270     namespace with lots of symbols "for gnu/gcc compatibility" even
271     though neither of them does it, and then calls the rest of the world
272     in need of fixing. go figure.
273     - on_keyboard_command is on_user_command (patch by Michael Witten).
274     - setting the selection from perl will now reset the selection screen
275     to the current screen. the screen can be manipulated using
276     the new ->selection_screen method.
277     - implement --enable-assert configure option and get rid of DEBUG_STRICT
278     (based on patch by Emanuele Giaquinta).
279     - fix printpipe data output (patch by Emanuele Giaquinta).
280     - allow `xxx' quoting style for perl selection.
281     - upgrade to libev-3.9 prerelease.
282     - updated compose tables to unicode 5.2.0.
283 root 1.908
284 root 1.906 9.06 Sat Nov 8 17:47:18 CET 2008
285 root 1.901 - NOTICE: this release updates terminfo/termcap.
286 mikachu 1.1058 - updates libev to 3.48.
287 root 1.886 - the aterm code now frees the as visual and image manager objects
288 mikachu 1.1058 when a window was closed.
289     - do not (wrongly) adjust the virtual line length inside
290     scr_insdel_chars/ERASE (Miroslav Lichvar).
291     - fix an issue where wide tab characters caused character shifts
292     when part of them was deleted (tracked down by Miroslav Lichvar).
293     - artificially enlargen the previous character at the end of a line
294     when trying to output a character that doesn't fit. looks ugly, but
295     makes copy&paste work.
296 root 1.879 - remove bogus "setuid/setgid security issues" from rxvt.1.pod, they
297 mikachu 1.1058 no longer apply.
298     - the urgency hint is now cleared on both focus in and focus out.
299     - cache urgency hint locally to avoid server rtt on every focus change.
300 root 1.878 - perl 5.10 needs PERL_SYS_INIT3 on hppa.
301 root 1.875 - ignore byte-order marks and do not treat them like combining characters.
302 mikachu 1.1058 - fix build issue when CURSOR_BLINK is not defined (Emanuele Giaquinta).
303     - do some µ-optimisations to the character fast path.
304     - use a less cunning, but more robust algorithm to avoid one terminal
305     monopolising the whole process by outputting a lot of text.
306     - try to work around linux first breaking sched_yield and now breaking
307     the only known workaround.
308     - new option -icon to set _NET_WM_ICON (based on patch by Frank Schmitt).
309     - initialise the as visual only on demand, instead of unconditionally,
310     to save memory in the common case of not using visual gimmicks.
311     - try to work around bugs in a few wm's that erroneously resize
312     client windows on hint property updates by temporarily
313     disabling size hints.
314     - implement the DECSTR soft reset sequence and use it for tput init,
315     and make hard RIS and DECSTR both reset more private modes, such
316     as mouse reporting.
317     - redundantly clear mouse reporting and a few other states in
318     tput init/tput reset, for older urxvts.
319     - partial/full clear screens did cause flickering and possibly pixel
320     droppings when urxvt viewed the scrollback buffer.
321     - use current rendition style in DCH sequence.
322     - the 132/80 mode switch no longer forces a screen reset.
323     - add an osc sequence to change the border colour (Emanuele Giaquinta).
324     - new perl extension "overlay-osc", for status displays and the like.
325     - fix some minor cursor drawing issues with overlays by allowing
326     overlays to modify screen flags (to disable the cursor themselves).
327     - work around programs not restoring rstyle before rmcup
328     (analysed by Miroslav Lichvar).
329 root 1.875
330 root 1.873 9.05 Sun Jun 15 20:09:20 CEST 2008
331 root 1.870 - new option --cd/chdir to set the starting working directory.
332 mikachu 1.1058 - tabbed extension now starts in the "correct" working directory.
333 root 1.871 - work around fedora 9 providing isastream but not the relevant
334 mikachu 1.1058 header file for it (report by Tuncer Ayaz).
335 root 1.924 - upgrade libev, fixing a bug in the select backend.
336 mikachu 1.1058 with more than 31 file descriptors on non-linux 64 bit systems.
337 root 1.861 - correctly reset the multibyte state to the initial one
338 mikachu 1.1058 after EILSEQ (patch by Neil Booth). This fixes the
339     issue of rxvt-unicode not properly displaying text after an illegal
340     sequence on NetBSD and probably other systems.
341     - more intelligent property handling with -pe tabbed, works around
342     broken window managers (kwm et al.), saves bandwidth and should
343     help working window managers as well.
344 root 1.871 - made tabs moveable (based on a patch by Petr Machata).
345 mikachu 1.1058 - implement ESC [ 3 K as a more rational alternative to ESC [ 0 K.
346     - support relative paths for RXVT_SOCKET in urxvtd.
347     - the tabbed extension now blindly copies over all (rxvt-) resources
348     from the toplevel window to the children.
349     - better diagnostic on 0x0 window geometries.
350     - update AnyEvent API to version 3.4 and above.
351     - document the default value of :0 for DISPLAY.
352     - rename perl method XChangeWindowProperty to XChangeProperty.

484     - unbundled iom perl interface somewhat.
485     - scrollbar-xterm now uses the selected scrollColor instead of fg

487     - disabled linux kernel bug workaround again: disabling it gives
488     a 50% speed hit on affected machines, while enabling it gives

505     - when !XFT, change rounding of colours to use a less correct formula to
506     meet user expectancies (#aaa becomes #a000a000a000 not #9f9f9f9f9f9f).
507     - change the starting offset of the pixmap set with backgroundPixmap

563     resource used") and seems to be logical behaviour, too. .Xdefaults
564     resources have a lower priority than display-specific resources.
565     - add "kuake" perl extension that does a similar thing to the kuake
566     terminal emulator (see man urxvtperl).
567     - use less "correct" color scaling that is compatible with libX11 and
568     Xft (avoids off-by-one colors resulting in striped backgrounds).
569     - the "depth" resource is now respected.
570     - preset the searchable-scrollback pattern with "(?i)" to default search
571     to case-insensitivity. Will automatically be cleared when typing an

610 mikachu 1.1058 changes (for kde's benefit) at the expense of extra round-trips,
611     improve size hint setting.
612     - modified XIM according to a patch sent by Takano Akio that sets
613     the preedit rectangle for OverTheSpot, which helps some input methods
614     to correctly position their preedit window.
615     - un-optimise the line clearing on newly scrolled-in lines a bit: the
616     former reasoning was that any fg colour on default bg looks the same
617     in empty spaces, but that's not true when reversing (e.g. selection),
618     so also check for matching fg colours. This fixes the problem where
619     selecting newly scrolled-in lines would exhibit wrong colours.
620     - fix a bug in the perl interface causing focus in events to generate
621     focus out perl events, causing bad focus effects with -pe tabbed.
622     - fix a race resulting in a crash on exiting.
623     - fix a with --disable-xft that caused xfreecolors to be called on
624     colors never allocated, resulting in aborts (reported by Paco-Paco).
625     - resources on non-initial screens weren't refetched correctly
626     (reported by Paco-Paco).
627     - fix a bug in xcopyarea pass and _disable_ it, as it seems not to be
628     working in either rxvt-unicode nor in the original rxvt.

638     - tab colours are now configurable and have sensible defaults
639     (initial patch by hednod).
640     - option menu is extendable, readline, selection and
641     selection-autotransform can now be disabled/enabled at runtime.
642     - forcing a configure event to tabbed subwindows with -pe tabbed, for
643     the benefit of automove-background.
644     - the automove-background extension added a wrong constant offset.
645     - force refresh of XA_RESOURCE_STRING on virtual reconnect.
646     - return exit status 2 in urxvtc when urxvtd couldn't be contacted.
647     - the linux yield hack is back, now using usleep, and enabled only on

661     detection:
662     - fully double-wide fonts will now be correctly treated,
663     - overlap detection was improved.
664     - detect totally broken fonts (usually synthesized by xft).
665     - careful mode forced refresh sometimes clashed with blinking,
666     causing unnecessary screen redraws.
667     - better handling of XFT combining characters.
668     - enable antialiasing for some replacement fonts, as they
669     might get used for other encodings which really need it, later.
670     - remove spacing=100 from all default fonts, as this creates totally
671     weird spacing (5 times normal) with xft.
672     - removed iso10646 fallback, as xorgs iso10646 encoded fonts are mostly
673     broken.
674     - removed gnu unifont fallback, all combining characters are broken.
675     - replace named colours by xorg's rgb.txt equivalents, to
676     reduce round trip time on startup, and short-cut allocation
677     of rgb:rr/gg/bb for xft.
678     - short-cut allocation of rgb values in the xlib case
679     (patch by Paco-Paco).
680     - overhauled color management: smaller codesize, alpha support.
681     - support "rgba:rrrr/gggg/bbbb/aaaa" color specifications and
682     an "[alpha]" prefix.
683     - try to work around Xft and Xrender forcing everything to be 100%
684     transparent. Long Live Xft!
685     - do not include X11/Intrinsic.h anymore, directly use
686     Xlib/Xutil/Xresource directly.

712     - the cutchars resource will now be respected and used by the

719     - be more strict when deciding that a core font glyph is too wide and
720     needs the careful rendering mode.
721     - allow more leeway for italic fonts when deciding that a character is
722     too wide and needs careful mode.
723     - redraw even more characters around characters using careful mode.
724     - made selection-pastebin fully asynchronous.
725     - reduced number of server turnarounds at startup by allocating
726     atoms only once per display.
727     - renamed on_keyboard_command to on_user_command.
728     - changed version sos (ESC [ > c) response to be more compatible with

732 mikachu 1.1058 - bugfix: urxvt (not urxvtd) did not correctly handle multiple
733     environments necessary, which resulted in segfaults within
734     getenv (reproducible: urxvt -fn 9x15, open a menu once,
735     ctrl-shift-672c).
736     - bugfix: the selection speedup in in 7.1 unfortunately caused
737     non-ascii characters to enlarge/move the selection.
738     - bugfix: resizing sometimes leaked lines from the secondary to
739     the primary screen.
740     - bugfix: reducing window size while large amounts of text were output
741     could lead to an assertion failure.
742     - added "tabbed" extension that provides a crude tabbed terminal.
743     - added "readline" extension that allows cursor positioning
744     via mouse clicks.
745 root 1.556 - now it is possible to insert the value of the CLIPBOARD selection
746 root 1.565 with shift - mouse button 2.
747 mikachu 1.1058 - fixed the automove-background extension to ignore coordinates
748     in non-synthetic events.
749     - created a separate libpty for portable and secure
750     pty/tty/utmp/wtmp/lastlog handling, and include it in rxvt-unicode.
751     - the non-terminfo visual bell now works asynchronously, so
752     continuous ASCI BELs in one terminal do no longer monopolise the
753     whole urxvt[d] process.
754     - support some *BSD makes (for the time being, gnu make is a safe bet).
755     - work around bugs in FreeBSD's gcc.
756     - implemented some *BSD fixes in configure.

759 root 1.551 7.1 Thu Jan 19 20:25:34 CET 2006
760 mikachu 1.1058 - setuid/setgid operation is now _encouraged_: security has been
761     improved by moving privileged operations into a separate process
762     and permanently dropping privileges within the terminal. This
763     makes it possible to remove security checks from the perl code
764     and gives a much safer feeling when urxvt needs to run with
765     special privileges.
766     - perl taint checking disabled, as urxvt no longer runs setuid/setgid
767     itself.
768     - new perl extension automove-background that can be used to get
769     the same effect as pseudo-transparency with any pixmap.
770     - new perl extension example: perl/selection-pastebin, can be used to
771     e.g. upload the selection to a webserver and generate a url, or
772     similar stuff.
773 root 1.521 - use the scrollback buffer even when the scroll region doesn't

776 root 1.521 - selection popup now shows selection in dec/hex/oct.
777 mikachu 1.1058 - perl/selection: matching on unicode characters in the selection
778     code was O(n²), which equals infinity in some degenerate cases
779     :-> Matching is now done on UTF-8, which makes it almost instant.
780     - perl/selection, perl/selection-autotransform: regexes are now
781     being interpreted in the locale urxvt was started.
782     - implemented override-redirect option and enabled it on menus,
783     as kwin puts our windows behind the terminal (what a shoddy wm).
784     - fixed struct utmp check in configure for OpenBSD.
785     - complete overhaul of the pty/utmp management stuff and configure
786     (Emanuele Giaquinta=exg).
787 root 1.542 - add tsl/fsl and related capabilities to the terminfo description,
788 mikachu 1.1058 to set the window title.

790     some segfaults that might be caused by xft asking for env variables
791     at the wrong time.

796     - made some fixes to xpm offset and scaling code.

804     - selection, searchable-scrollback, selection-popup and
805     option-popup extensions enabled by default.
806     - increased xft drawing speed for problematic fonts. The effect
807     will likely be small as 99% of the xft slowness is server-related.
808     - perl: much increased functionality, better overlays, popup support
809     and much much more.
810     - perl: urxvt::line now can set via ->t and ->r.
811     - perl: changed interpretation of --perl-ext-common and -pe.
812     - perl: finally implemented --perl-eval.
813     - perl: non-blocking anyevent support.
814     - perl: run tainted and ignore perl-eval/perl-lib if started
815     setuid/setgid.
816     - free the resource database: this plugs a massive memory leak. As a
817     side effect, it also gets rid of XGetDefault calls.
818     - free one of the cursors, fixes a small memory leak.
819     - built-in (as opposed to terminfos) visual bell was broken/too fast.
820     - applied minor cleanups by Ladislav Michnovic.
821     - applied pty handling cleanups and improvements (Emanuele Giaquinta).
822     - mark-urls launch-on-click by jepler.
823     - removed "small" resource parsing function, as it wasn't really
824     compatible, and not really small either.
825     - removed PATH_ENV and PATH file search support.
826     - removed support for locale-specific app-defaults file.
827     - fixed a bug where out-of-bounds colour sequences could lead
828     to crashes.
829     - limit colour changing to the standard 88 palette instead of all
830     colours.
831     - XTerm_Color01 sequence returned wrong results in query mode.
832     - iom.C now checks against destructed io_manager when unregistering.

835 mikachu 1.1058 - SECURITY FIX: on systems using openpty, permissions were
836     not correctly updated on the tty device and were left as
837     world-readable and world-writable (likely in original rxvt,
838     too), and were not restored properly. Affected are only
839     systems where non-unix ptys were used (such as most BSDs, not
840     GNU/Linux). (found, patched and debugged by Ryan Beasley).
841     - meta8 support was forcefully enabled in most configurations.
842     restored configurability of this (useless) feature (reported
843     by Mikachu).
844     - optionally embed a perl interpreter, which can be used for more
845     intelligent/customized selection support, visual feedback,
846     menus, tabs etc. See the the urxvtperl manpage, the -pe option,
847     perl*-resources and keysym resources. Not everything is there yet.
848     - try to be more clever about differing font sizes and their ascent.
849     Not guaranteed to work, but works better in most cases now.
850     - fix directory permissions on install.
851     - implemented option to disable built-in line drawing characters
852     and fall back to the font ones (patch by Martin Pohlack).
853     - disabled sched_yield support: the linux version is just too useless
854     (it schedules nice'd processes before the own one for extended
855     periods). Too bad, it could reduce system time by a factor of 5 here.

862     obscure the mouse cursor position.

878     - lines newly scrolled in were not initialized properly, leading
879     to extremely long lines and (hopefully) some segfaults.
880     - iso14755 overlay position was wrong.
881     - iso14755 overlay now displays rendition info, too.
882     - use unicode white space class instead of hardcoded values for
883     stripping whitespace.

893     (see http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=84647 for a
894     partial patch).
895     - bump max columns/rows to 10000 each.
896     - bump max savelines to 10000000.

898     - avoid linking against -lnsl/-lsocket/-lxpg4 unless necessary.
899     - major code cleanup (still not complete, though).

925     - integrated "fade to specific colour" patch by Martin Parm.
926     - slow down the internal visual bell (delay by 20ms) and update
927     the terminfo flash code to use the same delay. This is
928     synchronous, so many bells might inhibit screen updates in other
929     windows.
930     - text with background==foreground colour gets displayed with default

950 sf-exg 1.1035 - font names are now considered to be utf-8 encoded (xft apparently
951 root 1.430 uses this convention. X Core fonts might not, but it should be rare).
952     Affects display in iso14755 box.
953     - rewrote the low-level xft drawing function ("xft backend" for the
954     hipper parts of the world) to hopefully cope better with proportional
955     chars mixed with fixed-width ones.
956     - rxvt is now much more careful (read: slower) with potentially
957     overlapping xft characters. It usually overshoots and redraws
958     more than required, but that's better than undershooting and
959     cutting pieces off of characters.
960     - rxvt is now more restrictive in what font heights it accepts for
961     fonts that will likely overshoot or undershoot lines.
962     - fix a cosmetic problem with the unfocused cursor on a wide character
963     at the end of the line (reported by Mikachu).

1122     turnarounds would be much faster, but impossible to implement(?).
1123     - implement underlineColor resource when ENABLE_FRILLS.
1124 sf-exg 1.1063 - iom left its signal pipe handle open in the child
1125 root 1.430 process. Fortunately not security-relevant as the pipe data gets

1150     - force slower (but more responsive) transparency update.
1151     - fix off-by-one bug with wide characters at the end of a line,
1152     which got partially overwritten by spaces.
1153     - as xlib is completely broken with respect to utf-8 handling
1154     and nobody is going to fix it, that part has been re-implemented.
1155     should fix most paste problems between apps that use UTF8 encoding
1156     and rxvt running in a lesser-supported locale (thanks to Robin Redeker

1203     - new supported preeeditType "None".
1204     - added FAQ about possible compose key problems.
1205     - changed CN to ZH everywhere (sorry for the confusion).
1206     - move XFilterEvent up, as some input method seem to want events
1207     for windows not requesting XIM. Please report if this change
1208     causes any harm (specially with pointerblanking)
1209     (patch by Kuang-che Wu).
1210     - send the input method spot position on every refresh, not just
1211     when rxvt thinks it should (which was not often enough...).
1212     - fix double-wide combining characters (it might look a bit ugly,
1213     though, but common cases are handled by normalization anyways).
1214     - moved FAQ to rxvt(7), also made a copy into README.FAQ.
1215     - fix a bug(?) in the XIM destroy callback.
1216     - be more conservative when trying to register new input methods,
1217     as Xlib races might make rxvt crash. When two or more
1218     input methods are active, killing one probably still crashes rxvt
1219     due to that bug :( Thanks a lot to Kuang-che Wu for immense help
1220     in tracking this down.

1233     - tweaked src/features.h a bit.
1234     - removed README.unicode.
1235     - support select&paste of tab characters.
1236 sf-exg 1.1035 - fixed a segfault when trying to load nonexistent fonts (reported
1237 root 1.430 by Eduard Bloch and Mikael Magnusson).
1238     - fixed a long-standing rxvt bug in which rxvt failed to save
1239     and restore the correct cursor position on the secondary screen.
1240     - reworked rxvt-unicode terminfo to allow more efficient and less flickering
1241     screen updates with curses.
1242     - wide characters that are being halfway overwritten are now replaced
1243     by spaces.
1244     - urxvtc now transmits urxvt as default name, not urxvtc anymore
1245     (likewise for other names chosen at configure time).
1246     - disabled the automatic font lookup for unknown characters. xft
1247     is just too slow for this to work.
1248     - changed realbold code, implemented _real_ bold and italic support,
1249     where _real_ means the symbiosis of what I want with what I can
1250     implement. use --enable-styles.
1251     - removed 256 color mode, but enable 88 colours in all modes
1252     (88 to be compatible with 88 colour xterm which is widely
1253     supported, and most programs assume a non-iso colourtable
1254     for terminals with "odd" number of colours).
1255     - added doc/etc/rxvt-unicode.terminfo which is a big overhaul
1256     compared to the old rxvt terminfo.
1257 root 1.236 - sped up xft rendering by 30% *iff* the font allows it (i.e. is
1258 root 1.430 monospaced "enough") *and* matches the base font in width.
1259     - implement positive and negative character-font caching, which
1260     speeds up output immensely in case a character cannot be found
1261     (only for non-bold right now).
1262     - fix segfault in fading code on certain escape sequences.
1263     - better default font size and style.
1264     - rxvt-unicode is now much more picky about fonts not fitting
1265     into the base font, but to offset this it will check each
1266     single character against the base font extents and will only
1267     use the characters fitting into the bounding box (+ some fudge).
1268     - characters not fitting into the base boundary box will now often
1269     be used anyways, but the following characters will be redrawn
1270     more often to avoid pixel-droppings. This is like the original
1271     rxvt pixel-dropping pass but it's much faster.
1272     - scrollColor now affects plain scrollbar (Mikael Magnusson).
1273     - fixed segfault in overlay code when height was larger than the
1274     screen height.
1275     - cursor no longer shines "through" the overlay.
1276     - 7-bit ST marker detection was broken.
1277     - scrollbar didn't come back sometimes when switching it
1278     off/on using escape sequences (Mikael Magnusson).
1279     - fix lots of colour problems with focus fading.
1280     - $COLORFGBG was not set as documented.
1281     - fix iso 14755 5.1 support when --enable-frills but --disable-iso14755.
1282     - removed OSC 702.

1290 root 1.194 - fix OverTheSpot and OffTheSpot editing, which was broken since ages,
1291 root 1.430 due to no fontset being available. The fontset used is a very rough
1292     approximation to the rxvt font, though. This fixes the
1293     "cannot create input context" in most cases.
1294     - fix coordinates used for Over && OffTheSpot editing to fit directly
1295     at the cursor (Over) or into the top line (Off).
1296     - reset SIGHUP and SIGPIPE handlers to default values (they were
1297 sf-exg 1.1035 previously being ignored, causing programs not to exit on window
1298 root 1.430 close).
1299     - implemented simple overlays for feedback messages. believe it or
1300     not, this was a major blocker in implementing tabbed terminals.

1302     - clarify bold docs in README.unicode (Adam Sampson).
1303 root 1.194 - fix crash on window close when the input method or context
1304 root 1.430 could not be created.
1305     - add work around for badly written programs (see debian bug
1306     #202497). This is _not_ a bug in rxvt but rather a race
1307     condition in other programs (e.g. jed). It works by forcefully
1308     sending SIGWINCH when rxvt sees the first output from the
1309     command. This workaround isn't perfect (a slight cost to
1310     wellbehaving programs who need to resize twice), but it usually
1311     works.
1312 root 1.194 - set correct pixel size in struct winsize.

1317     - fix some corner cases in autowrap handling.
1318     - remove various useless make cruft, renamed files to better
1319     reflect on their function, renamed many variables.
1320     - fixed printscreen functionality, as noted by Jinesh Choksi.
1321     - fix a problem where redraws of double-width characters sometimes

1335     - fixed longstanding bug in which rxvtd crashed when
1336     a message was logged after startup (a rare case).
1337     - got rid of yodl completely by converting to pod.
1338     - integrated the FAQ into the manpage. In the future, more will be

1340     - reference documentation is now installed as rxvt(7).

1342 root 1.168 - fix memory leak in insecure mode on certain display echos.
1343 root 1.430 - report sequences now report empty strings in secure mode

1345     - enable some report sequences even in secure mode, such as colour
1346     queries, as they are harmless(tm).
1347     - rxvt-unicode will now try to find a matching xft font if it can't
1348     find a matching font from the fallback list. It might look ugly,
1349     but if a xft font with our character exists, rxvt will find it.
1350     - moved FreeMono to the very back of the fallback list, as some
1351     people complain it looks ugly. This is a no-win situation, though.
1352     - fixed sourceforge bug 998970, reported against aterm:
1353     "crash on -sl 0 on super small windows".
1354     - decreased memory and code size when !--enable-transparency.
1355     - SYNCCVS. backported changes done to rxvt, except for Color_ufbg,
1356     which I think is better done through fading, and libW11, which
1357     needs testing anyways.
1358     - more complete compile options help output.
1359     - Provide linear scaled colour cubes for 256 colour mode.
1360     Pass them through as rgbi rather than rgb so that Xlib can
1361     provide gamma (from per visual intensity lists) rather than

1455 root 1.430 replaced them by runtime-configurable options secondaryScreen and
1456     secondaryScroll (-ssr and -ssc) (see debian bug #237673).
1457 pcg 1.108 - close down terminal window when child exits. (debian bug #241267).
1458 sf-exg 1.1035 - xterm-compat: enable separate mouse bg colour setting.
1459 root 1.430 - re-enable mouse cursor colours again, fixing colours when fg/bg are
1460     overwritten (as is common).

1467     avoid clashes with xterm.
1468     - changed OSC701/OSC702 sequence to return standard escaped reports.
1469     - xterm-compat: make set window colour and other requests report
1470     window colour when arg is "?".
1471     - enable colour tinting of "transparent" backgrounds.
1472     - stop ST sequences earlier, as we now react on 0x90 and thus
1473     cause conditions more often that look like locks but are, in
1474     fact, just rxvt waiting for a ST/BEL etc.
1475     - re-enabled most of the "dangerous" echo escapes, but only
1476     when -insecure is specified as option or resource (see reference).
1477     (FRILLS).
1478     - disables sleep(1) on transparency updates on default.
1479     - fixes to make it compile better on solaris 2.9 (at least).
1480     asprintf replacement is still missing(!).
1481     - set _NET_WM_PID.
1482 pcg 1.108
1483 pcg 1.91 2.5 Sun Mar 28 04:05:51 CEST 2004

1490     (e.g. printf '\e';sleep 3;printf 'c' will no longer block).
1491     - rxvtc usage errors should no longer kill rxvtd (debian bug #237510).

1499     - remove native->unicode translation tables. they aren't used anymore.
1500     reduces binary and distro size a bit.
1501     - add string representation for JIS X 0213:2000 so these fonts can
1502     be used from within rxvt.
1503     - less buggy complete set of line-drawing-characters (0x2500-0x259f).

1513 sf-exg 1.1035 --enable-xgetdefault.
1514 pcg 1.74
1515 pcg 1.69 2.2 Thu Mar 11 01:41:56 CET 2004
1516 root 1.430 - implement autocompositing of characters by either using an existing
1517     precomposed unicode character or by graphical overlay. this is
1518     also used to store characters >16bit without --enable-unicode3.
1519     - selection now based on wchar_t, so that it can offer UTF-8
1520     selections even in locales unable to represent full unicode.
1521 pcg 1.69 - tis620-2529 is, of course, thai, not vietnamese...
1522 root 1.430 - a typoe prevented characters >65535 to be stored properly.
1523     - wcwidth is unreliable in non-unicode-locales on GNU/Linux.
1524     working around this fixes line-drawing characters in non-utf-8 mode.
1525     - improved rounding when emulating line-drawing characters.
1526     - implement continuation lines in xresource parsing when
1527     --disable-xgetdefault.
1528     - changed locale-setting esc-sequence from code 9 to code 701.
1529     also added 702 that returns the font selected for a specific

1531 root 1.568 - no longer set CUT_BUFFER0. this is confusing and clients WILL
1532 root 1.430 get it wrong.
1533 root 1.568 - don't use XTextStyle for TEXT, instead use XStdICCTextStyle.
1534 pcg 1.69
1535 pcg 1.58 2.1 Wed Mar 3 21:48:39 CET 2004
1536 root 1.444 - NOTE: the name of the binary and resources were changed in
1537 root 1.430 this version, see README.configure if you want the old
1538     settings.
1539     - added plain "big5" encoding into CN.
1540     - make cns11643 and big5* encodings actually visible to rxvt.
1541     - fix a bug when a multibyte character fell onto a buffer boundary,

1563 pcg 1.38 - fixed bug in plain scrollbar causing X errors in XCreateGC.
1564 root 1.430 - implemented sharing of X connections. will be used to speed
1565     up many x operations considerably. Also saves some memory.
1566     - implemented caching of input methods. This immensely shortens
1567     startup time for new terms in rxvtd. At least XFree86 4.3 is
1568     rather broken with respect to input methods, though, so expect
1569     crashes when you kill your input method (xterm et al. also crash).
1570     - fix bugs in X flushing, causing an empty screen after startup.
1571     - fix various memleaks in rxvtd.
1572     - fix a bug that kept escape codes to be generated for some
1573     keysyms that also have string translations, when not --enable-xim.
1574     reported by joel reed.
1575     - re-enabled esc-seq. for font-switching (\033 ] 50 ; <fontset> \007).
1576     - re-enabled menubar (experimental!).
1577     - fix bug in locale-handling that kept the correct locale from
1578     being selected.
1579     - implemented esc-seq. to switch locales (\033 ] 9 ; <locale> \007).
1580     - removed greek support.
1581     - allow NUL bytes (ctrl-@) to be entered even with XIM enabled.
1582     - correct cursor width if !focus.
1583     - fixed --enable-xgetdefault, reported by eduard bloch.
1584 root 1.444 - added manpage for rxvtc/rxvtd based on the one eduard bloch
1585 root 1.430 contributed.
1586     - use reverse video for normal bold text unless colorBD has been set.
1587     - fixed endless loop when selection is valid but empty.
1588     - changed default terminal name to "rxvt".
1589     - many other minor bugfixes.

1591 pcg 1.25 1.8 Mon Feb 2 20:09:18 CET 2004
1592 pcg 1.19 - almost total conversion to C++. Except for introducing

1594 mikachu 1.1058 - fix and re-enable background pixmap and inherit pixmap support.
1595     - re-enabled multiple scrollbar support.
1596     - added plain scrollbar style and restored xterm scrollbar.
1597 root 1.430 - blinking and selections work slightly better now.
1598     - fix an error condition when rxvt receives more than one screenful
1599     of output. should occur with original rxvt, too, but very rarely.
1600     (I guess the code contains more surprises of this sort...)
1601 pcg 1.19
1602 pcg 1.18 1.7 Fri Jan 30 16:50:11 CET 2004
1603     - further cleanups.
1604 root 1.430 - never do last-minute-changes: restore ability to have
1605     color + bold as high-intensity, and let the selection
1606     use reverse video, not _blink_.
1607     - remove OPTION_HC, at least temporarily. If you want it back,
1608     please drop me a note.
1609 pcg 1.16
1610 pcg 1.15 1.6 Fri Jan 30 00:34:01 CET 2004
1611 pcg 1.14 - cleanups, minor bugfixes.
1612 root 1.430 - blinking text.
1613     - normal text color + bold gets white text instead of
1614     normal text when colorBD is not set.
1615     (- support double-wide characters (by blocking).)
1616     was never implemented

1623     reported by fefe
1624     - make it compile without pointer_blank, reported by
1625     Markus Demleitner
