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 root 1.1074 9.15 Sat Jan 21 13:36:56 CET 2012
25 root 1.1073 - remove "using namespace std" because clang erroneously
26     thinks thats an error.
27 root 1.1069 - finding a matching font (e.g. bold version of the base font)
28 sf-exg 1.1070 was broken (reported by Eamon Walker).
29 sf-exg 1.1063 - fix parsing of bg image styles. They really work now.
30 sf-exg 1.1064 - fix blurring of bg image borders when using xrender.
31 sf-exg 1.1068 - fix xrender blur on common xrender implementations that do
32     not behave correctly when the same pixmap is used as source
33     and destination in composite operations.
34     - fix regression that caused tabbed to compute the wrong size
35     for tabs.
36 sf-exg 1.1067 - allow again an empty suffix in a keysym list spec (patch by
37     Sung Pae).
38 sf-exg 1.1072 - unsupported support for sun studio's CC added.
39     - fix -C option on solaris.
40 sf-exg 1.1063
41 root 1.1062 9.14 Wed Dec 21 18:40:33 CET 2011
42 sf-exg 1.1052 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: the urxvtd default socket path is now
43     $HOME/.urxvt/urxvtd-<nodename>.
44 mikachu 1.1058 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: the "list" keysym expansion now requires
45     loading of the "keysym-list" perl extension.
46 sf-exg 1.1038 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: A scale value of 0 in the bg image
47     geometry no longer enables tiling, so as to make it possible
48     to disable both scaling and tiling.
49 mikachu 1.1058 - overhaul of the bg image operations. The old operations have
50     been deprecated in favour of elementary operations and
51     styles built on top of the new operations and scale/position
52     settings. (Emanuele Giaquinta).
53     - support for libafterimage is deprecated and will be removed
54     in the next release.
55     - fix a crash caused by selection_check not properly resetting
56     out-of-bounds mark values (can happen when extending a selection
57     while scrolling up in curses programs for example).
58     - do not move the selection when scrolling up and the selection is
59     outside the scrolling region (Emanuele Giaquinta).
60     - fix display of bold bright black (reported by Ben Winslow).
61     - fix memory leak when urgentOnBell is set (patch by Nathaniel
62     Filardo).
63     - fix a redraw bug that occurs when a bg pixmap is set and the
64     wm does not honour the size hints set by urxvt. Now urxvt
65     forces the size of the terminal window to be a multiple of
66     the cell size.
67 sf-exg 1.1034 - sanitise the argument of SD / SU sequences. Fixes a possible
68     crash when the argument is big enough, red hat bug #711137
69     (Emanuele Giaquinta).
70 mikachu 1.1058 - correctly split long lines when scrolling.
71 sf-exg 1.1051 - urxvt now looks for perl extensions also in $HOME/.urxvt/ext.
72     - add bell-command perl extension to execute a command when a
73     bell event occurs (Ryan Kavanagh).
74 sf-exg 1.1055 - add set_urgency perl binding to set/reset the urgency hint.
75 sf-tpope 1.1041 - consume button release event in matcher (exg).
76 sf-tpope 1.1042 - keyboard accessible list of recent matches in matcher
77     (Bob Farrell).
78 sf-exg 1.1043 - properly process 'keysym' sequences in tabbed when using
79     'focus follows mouse' and the focus is on the main window
80     but not on the active terminal window (patch by Martin
81     Pohlack).
82 root 1.1059 - support for the freedesktop startup-notification protocol (patch by
83 mikachu 1.1048 Michael Stapelberg).
84 mikachu 1.1058 - the direction of VPR and VPB commands was reversed.
85 root 1.1059 - fix alignment of inherited root pixmap when it is a different size
86 mikachu 1.1057 than the root window and the terminal window is off the left or top
87     edge (Mikachu).
88 mikachu 1.1061 - make $self visible in "eval perl expression" popup action, also
89     handle exceptions better.
90 sf-exg 1.1060 - fix parsing of '-e' when it occurs as an option argument, such as in
91     'urxvt -title -e' (Emanuele Giaquinta).
92 sf-exg 1.1034
93 root 1.1033 9.12 Wed Jun 29 14:34:28 CEST 2011
94 mikachu 1.1058 - fix regression in processing of SelectionNotify events.
95     urxvt would fail to request a selection if the owner did not
96     support the UTF8_STRING target.
97     - fix rendering of double width chars in certain circumstances, more
98     likely to happen if urxvt is compiled with 256 colors support as
99     urxvt runs out of fonts much earlier then. Fixes gentoo bug #358151
100     (Emanuele Giaquinta).
101     - restore support for 'list' syntax in keysym resources (requested by Sung Pae).
102 root 1.1028 - always premultiply colour values - while this increases differences between
103 mikachu 1.1058 core fonts and xft, it is "more correct" in practical situations.
104     - disable PTYTTY_REENTRANT option - not needed for urxvt and saves a bit of code.
105     - remove lucidatypewriter from the list of fallback fonts, it was the only
106     non-xft non-cellfont in the list anyway.
107 sf-exg 1.1026
108 sf-exg 1.1025 9.11 Mon May 2 10:34:46 CEST 2011
109 mikachu 1.1058 - fix compilation on GNU/Hurd, debian bug #624736.
110     - remove 'list' syntax for keysym resources, as it serves no useful purpose.
111     If you need it, poke us and provide a use case.
112     - fix alpha channel support. Premultiply alpha in colours if the visual
113     supports an alpha channel, as xrender expects premultiplied alpha
114     (Emanuele Giaquinta).
115     - fix reply to a selection request sent by an obsolete client
116     such as syncterm (patch by Marcin Cieslak).
117 sf-exg 1.1019 - fix crash when the window is resized and the overlay is active
118     (Emanuele Giaquinta, reported by Ryan Kavanagh).
119 mikachu 1.1058 - match character-wise rather than byte-wise in selection
120     extension again. perl 5.8.9+ is required to avoid extreme
121     slowdowns. Fixes debian bugs #523072, #616463.
122     - fix a possible crash if the INCR transfer process for a
123     selection property timeouts and at least one chunk is
124     received. (Emanuele Giaquinta)
125 sf-exg 1.1020 - work around a memory corruption bug in xorg's XrmSetDatabase (apparently
126 mikachu 1.1058 broken since http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/xorg-commit-diffs/2004-March/000239.html).
127     - fix memory corruption bug when custom command sequences bound to keys
128     were injected into an already-full pty input buffer.
129     - gdk-pixbuf is autodetected by default and preferred over libafterimage.
130     - do not prepend a newline to the selection text when the starting line
131     of the selection is not highlighted (Emanuele Giaquinta).
132 root 1.988 - don't swap perl env with real env, save and restore it, just in case
133 mikachu 1.1058 we ever get recursive perl invocations. also saves a bit of codespace
134     with gcc.
135     - fix various memory leaks (Emanuele Giaquinta).
136     - fix typo in kIC terminfo capability, debian bug #446444.
137     - document 'thickness' resource.
138     - fix debian bug #504817, to the extent possible.
139 sf-exg 1.1014 - try to detect byte order at compile time, saves a couple of
140 mikachu 1.1058 hundred bytes, if your compiler is smart enough.
141     - add support for previewing the pasted data in confirm-paste
142     (Emanuele Giaquinta).
143     - added "newlines to spaces" option in selection-popup.
144     - actually enabled solaris event ports backend (was disabled by accident).
145     - revert to 38400 baud max., mission accomplished.
146     - no longer create scary "pty_fill: PLEASE REPORT" message, instead,
147     silently drain the input (problem is well understood now).
148     - no longer swallow rob nation's own graphics mode commands.
149 root 1.988
150 root 1.987 9.10 Mon Dec 13 17:43:52 CET 2010
151 root 1.990 - the "schmorp=north korea dickey=south korea" release.
152 mikachu 1.1058 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: make OSC 20 simpler and more correct
153     (Emanuele Giaquinta).
154 root 1.982 - if options were compiled out, this could lead to the option
155 mikachu 1.1058 count to be defined wrongly. This is likely behind the
156     failures with gcc 4.5.
157     - explicitly depend on fontconfig and xrender when xft support
158     is enabled. Although the public Xft api uses types from
159     both, in Xft 2.2.0 these libs are private
160     dependencies only thanks to an idiotic behaviour of
161     pkg-config that was added to workaround cases like this one.
162     Fixes linking when using GNU ld with --as-needed or GNU gold
163     (based on patch by Jan Palus).
164     - fix minor memory leaks in urxvt and urxvtd.
165     - fix regression in urxvtd that prevented options from being correctly
166     set (reported by Michal Vaner).
167 sf-exg 1.978 - implement xterm's horribly broken 1005 mouse reporting mode,
168 mikachu 1.1058 and an alternative 1015 mode that works in non-utf-8 locales
169     and has fewer limitations.
170 sf-exg 1.977 - fix a possible bug where mouse notifications didn't work after
171 mikachu 1.1058 startup for the upper left corner.
172     - implement our own pixbuf to pixmap rendering to get rid of
173     dependency on buggy gdk-pixbuf-xlib. Only truecolor visuals
174     are supported (Emanuele Giaquinta).
175     - apply tinting before shading when both operations are requested.
176     Previously they were intermixed when lightening and the result
177     was inaccurate and confusing. Note that now a black tint yields a
178     completely black image, regardless of shading (Emanuele Giaquinta).
179     - avoid spurious redraws of the bg image when bg is transparent or
180     when using 'root' mode (Emanuele Giaquinta).
181     - fix build on XFree86.
182     - dynamically number options according to compiletime requirements.
183     For the extra saved byte. Or so. Yay.
184     - start options at one, not zero. Wastes a bit per terminal. Maybe.
185     saves 50 instruction bytes. Possibly.
186 sf-exg 1.975
187 root 1.974 9.09 Sat Nov 13 01:39:07 CET 2010
188     - NOTICE: this release updates terminfo/termcap.
189     - the bestest release ever.
190 mikachu 1.1058 - it was verified that urxvt handles µ and μ correctly.
191 sf-exg 1.961 - add support for blending and blurring with XRender (Emanuele Giaquinta).
192     - add support for using gdk-pixbuf as image backend (Emanuele Giaquinta).
193 root 1.974 - cleanup and minor fixes of the image code (Emanuele Giaquinta).
194 sf-exg 1.957 - new perl extension "confirm-paste" (Emanuele Giaquinta).
195 sf-exg 1.955 - new on_tt_paste perl hook and tt_paste perl binding (Emanuele Giaquinta).
196 sf-exg 1.959 - new on_bell perl hook (Emanuele Giaquinta).
197     - searchable-scrollback no longer ignores the first line
198     (Emanuele Giaquinta).
199 sf-exg 1.972 - properly set VSTATUS in termios for *BSD (reported by Ed Schouten).
200 sf-exg 1.954 - fix utmpx detection on upcoming FreeBSD 9.
201 sf-exg 1.953 - Use COMPOUND_TEXT encoding for WM_NAME/WM_ICON_NAME value when it
202     is not fully convertible to STRING (patch by James Cloos).
203 mikachu 1.1058 - fix a buffer overflow that would cause wrong key sequences to
204     be generated for numpad keys (introduced in 9.05).
205     - fix definition of sgr0 to work around limitations in luit.
206 root 1.947 - extend ISO 14755 5.4 mode to also print the font name of the
207     characters other than first one in the selected cell
208     (Emanuele Giaquinta).
209     - new iso14755 option to disable ISO 14755 at runtime
210 mikachu 1.1058 (Emanuele Giaquinta).
211 root 1.947 - make sure pagewise scrolling scrolls at least one line
212 mikachu 1.1058 (found by Mikachu).
213 sf-exg 1.956 - remove deprecated OSC 18 / 19 and make OSC 17 / 19 apply to
214     highlightColor / highlightTextColor (Emanuele Giaquinta).
215 sf-exg 1.945 - add highlightTextColor resource to change the foreground colour of
216 sf-exg 1.956 highlighted characters (Emanuele Giaquinta).
217 sf-exg 1.945 - make highlightColor apply also to selected cells with reverse video
218 sf-exg 1.956 but not to non selected cells with reverse video (Emanuele Giaquinta).
219 sf-exg 1.945 - remove colorRV resource (it was enabled only with frills off).
220 root 1.941 - fix numlock handling, the most longstanding bug to date (Emanuele Giaquinta).
221 mikachu 1.1058 - reduce the number of custom bits to 4, to make room
222     for 256 colours.
223 sf-exg 1.959 - add support for 256 colors (Emanuele Giaquinta, Marc Lehmann).
224 mikachu 1.1058 - add rxvt-unicode-256color terminfo and use it by default in 256 colors mode.
225     - update rxvt-unicode terminfo to state 7744 colour pairs to cover all
226     88*88 possible pairs.
227     - actually added macosx-clipboard-native, which should have been in
228     the 9.07 release but had been forgotten.
229     - fix hang if DECAWM is not set and there are not enough columns to insert a
230     character (Emanuele Giaquinta).
231     - cub1 ("backspace") will now respect wrapping when past the rightmost column,
232     working around a shortcoming of most tty line discipline's line editing.
233 sf-exg 1.935 - add support for grabbing the clipboard selection and extend
234     selection{_clear,_grab,} perl bindings to optionally work
235     on the clipboard selection (based on patch by Dana Jansens).
236 mikachu 1.1058 - no longer force CERASE to BACKSPACE - use the system default. affects
237     default value for VERASE only when no compatible setting for
238     backspacekey was given.
239     - use higher than 38400 baudrate setting, if detected.
240     - erase screen would clear to the wrong background when blinking
241     was enabled (which selects high intensity under some circumstances).
242     - scr_kill_char didn't touch the line.
243     - upgrade and port to libev-4.01.
244     - enabled solaris event ports and kqueue backends (if available).
245 sf-exg 1.930
246 root 1.928 9.07 Wed Dec 30 07:07:18 CET 2009
247 root 1.916 - port to glibc-2.10 changes (strchr etc. returning const char *
248 mikachu 1.1058 in C++), based on patches by Milos Jakubicek and Oliver Mader.
249     - the binary search algorithm to find precomposed characters
250     was faulty, skipping some possible combinations (found by
251     Mikachu).
252     - new -letterspace option, patch by Mark H. Wilkinson.
253 root 1.910 - enable --mlock option for urxvt with frills on
254 mikachu 1.1058 systems supporting it (patch by Russell Harmon).
255 root 1.908 - urxvt did not compile without frills enabled
256 mikachu 1.1058 (analysed by Matthew Rosewarne).
257     - correctly reset the mbstate after an illegal
258     input sequence when handling terminal output (Emanuele Giaquinta).
259     - avoid redrawing wide characters with combining enabled on every
260     refresh (reported by Mikachu).
261     - fix a typo preventing the ISO-646.1991 character set from being
262     recognized (http://achurch.org/patch-pile/).
263     - better warning for x11 font encoding detection failures, also,
264     try to deduce encoding from both font properties and name
265     (adapted from http://achurch.org/patch-pile/).
266     - resizing the window with the scrollbar disabled via the escapes
267     sequence could make the window bigger again (Mikachu).
268     - make sure the alignment for fd passing control messages
269     is correct and work around some NetBSD issues (Taylor R Campbell).
270     - update to libptytty 1.3.

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

620     the preedit rectangle for OverTheSpot, which helps some input methods
621     to correctly position their preedit window.
622     - un-optimise the line clearing on newly scrolled-in lines a bit: the
623     former reasoning was that any fg colour on default bg looks the same
624     in empty spaces, but that's not true when reversing (e.g. selection),
625     so also check for matching fg colours. This fixes the problem where

674     - better handling of XFT combining characters.
675     - enable antialiasing for some replacement fonts, as they
676     might get used for other encodings which really need it, later.
677     - remove spacing=100 from all default fonts, as this creates totally
678     weird spacing (5 times normal) with xft.

689     an "[alpha]" prefix.
690     - try to work around Xft and Xrender forcing everything to be 100%
691     transparent. Long Live Xft!

716     (could lead to global grabs never being cleared).
717     - experimental OnTheSpot editing support (-pe xim-onthespot).
718     - moved Shift-Button2 paste combination to Meta-Button2.
719     - the cutchars resource will now be respected and used by the
720     selection extension.
721     - added the "remote-clipboard" extension which just runs external
722     commands to fetch and store the selection data.
723     - added -depth switch that tries to get a different visual depth
724     than the default (replaces the old PREFER_24_BIT logic).
725     - removed (unused) arabic presentation form composing sequences.
726     - be more strict when deciding that a core font glyph is too wide and
727     needs the careful rendering mode.
728     - allow more leeway for italic fonts when deciding that a character is
729     too wide and needs careful mode.
730     - redraw even more characters around characters using careful mode.
731     - made selection-pastebin fully asynchronous.
732     - reduced number of server turnarounds at startup by allocating
733     atoms only once per display.
734     - renamed on_keyboard_command to on_user_command.
735     - changed version sos (ESC [ > c) response to be more compatible with
736     xterm.

739 mikachu 1.1058 - bugfix: urxvt (not urxvtd) did not correctly handle multiple
740     environments necessary, which resulted in segfaults within
741     getenv (reproducible: urxvt -fn 9x15, open a menu once,
742     ctrl-shift-672c).
743     - bugfix: the selection speedup in in 7.1 unfortunately caused
744     non-ascii characters to enlarge/move the selection.
745     - bugfix: resizing sometimes leaked lines from the secondary to
746     the primary screen.
747     - bugfix: reducing window size while large amounts of text were output
748     could lead to an assertion failure.
749     - added "tabbed" extension that provides a crude tabbed terminal.
750     - added "readline" extension that allows cursor positioning
751     via mouse clicks.
752 root 1.556 - now it is possible to insert the value of the CLIPBOARD selection
753 root 1.565 with shift - mouse button 2.
754 mikachu 1.1058 - fixed the automove-background extension to ignore coordinates
755     in non-synthetic events.
756     - created a separate libpty for portable and secure
757     pty/tty/utmp/wtmp/lastlog handling, and include it in rxvt-unicode.
758     - the non-terminfo visual bell now works asynchronously, so
759     continuous ASCI BELs in one terminal do no longer monopolise the
760     whole urxvt[d] process.
761     - support some *BSD makes (for the time being, gnu make is a safe bet).
762     - work around bugs in FreeBSD's gcc.
763     - implemented some *BSD fixes in configure.
764 root 1.556 - removed support for obsolete offix dnd protocol.
765 root 1.552
766 root 1.551 7.1 Thu Jan 19 20:25:34 CET 2006
767 mikachu 1.1058 - setuid/setgid operation is now _encouraged_: security has been
768     improved by moving privileged operations into a separate process
769     and permanently dropping privileges within the terminal. This
770     makes it possible to remove security checks from the perl code
771     and gives a much safer feeling when urxvt needs to run with
772     special privileges.
773     - perl taint checking disabled, as urxvt no longer runs setuid/setgid
774     itself.
775     - new perl extension automove-background that can be used to get
776     the same effect as pseudo-transparency with any pixmap.
777     - new perl extension example: perl/selection-pastebin, can be used to
778     e.g. upload the selection to a webserver and generate a url, or
779     similar stuff.
780 root 1.521 - use the scrollback buffer even when the scroll region doesn't
781 mikachu 1.1058 span the whole screen, as long as it starts at row 0. Helps
782     for programs displaying a status line at the bottom.
783 root 1.521 - selection popup now shows selection in dec/hex/oct.
784 mikachu 1.1058 - perl/selection: matching on unicode characters in the selection
785     code was O(n²), which equals infinity in some degenerate cases
786     :-> Matching is now done on UTF-8, which makes it almost instant.
787     - perl/selection, perl/selection-autotransform: regexes are now
788     being interpreted in the locale urxvt was started.
789     - implemented override-redirect option and enabled it on menus,
790     as kwin puts our windows behind the terminal (what a shoddy wm).
791     - fixed struct utmp check in configure for OpenBSD.
792     - complete overhaul of the pty/utmp management stuff and configure
793     (Emanuele Giaquinta=exg).
794 root 1.542 - add tsl/fsl and related capabilities to the terminfo description,
795 mikachu 1.1058 to set the window title.
796     - swap the environment in some more cases. This hopefully fixes
797     some segfaults that might be caused by xft asking for env variables
798     at the wrong time.
799     - removed src/strings.C and src/menubar.C. No menubar support
800     anymore.
801     - removed all traces of SMOOTH_REFRESH.
802     - nuked QNX support.
803     - made some fixes to xpm offset and scaling code.
804     - perl-overlays and refresh hooks were not applied in correct order.
805     - changed coordinate-system of view_start/nsaved to be top to bottom.
806     - iom extended to support listening for child exits.
807 root 1.518

809 root 1.500 - added sections for DISTRIBUTION MAINTAINERS and about
810 mikachu 1.1058 SETUID/SETGID to the FAQ.
811     - selection, searchable-scrollback, selection-popup and
812     option-popup extensions enabled by default.
813     - increased xft drawing speed for problematic fonts. The effect
814     will likely be small as 99% of the xft slowness is server-related.
815     - perl: much increased functionality, better overlays, popup support
816     and much much more.
817     - perl: urxvt::line now can set via ->t and ->r.
818     - perl: changed interpretation of --perl-ext-common and -pe.
819     - perl: finally implemented --perl-eval.
820     - perl: non-blocking anyevent support.
821     - perl: run tainted and ignore perl-eval/perl-lib if started
822     setuid/setgid.
823     - free the resource database: this plugs a massive memory leak. As a
824     side effect, it also gets rid of XGetDefault calls.
825     - free one of the cursors, fixes a small memory leak.
826     - built-in (as opposed to terminfos) visual bell was broken/too fast.
827     - applied minor cleanups by Ladislav Michnovic.
828     - applied pty handling cleanups and improvements (Emanuele Giaquinta).
829     - mark-urls launch-on-click by jepler.
830     - removed "small" resource parsing function, as it wasn't really
831     compatible, and not really small either.
832     - removed PATH_ENV and PATH file search support.
833     - removed support for locale-specific app-defaults file.
834     - fixed a bug where out-of-bounds colour sequences could lead
835     to crashes.
836     - limit colour changing to the standard 88 palette instead of all
837     colours.
838     - XTerm_Color01 sequence returned wrong results in query mode.
839     - iom.C now checks against destructed io_manager when unregistering.

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

865 mikachu 1.1058 - implemented intensityStyles option which enables/disables bold/blink
866     selecting high intensity foreground/background colours, suggested by
867     Chuck Blake.
868     - move iso14755 character feedback box out of the way if it would
869     obscure the mouse cursor position.
870 root 1.463 - replaced callback.h by a fixed version from gvpe that correctly
871 mikachu 1.1058 returns the callback result (affects new -pty-fd semantics in urxvtc
872     on a few architectures). Reported by darix.
873     - include one trailing space in rectangular selections to indicate
874     the inserted newline (yeah, weird, but visually more pleasing).
875     - try to use sched_yield to (drastically) improve terminal data
876     transfer efficiency.
877     - further minor cleanups.

881 root 1.452 - fix a crash when the selection scrolls out of the scrollback
882 mikachu 1.1058 while the user still drags.
883     - selections that were partially scrolled out of the window were
884     not drawn correctly.
885     - lines newly scrolled in were not initialized properly, leading
886     to extremely long lines and (hopefully) some segfaults.
887     - iso14755 overlay position was wrong.
888     - iso14755 overlay now displays rendition info, too.
889     - use unicode white space class instead of hardcoded values for
890     stripping whitespace.
891     - do whitespace stripping on rectangular selections.
892     - slight cleanups in src/features.h.

897     - fix relative cursor-positioning not respecting scrolling regions
898     (also a bug in original rxvt).
899     - initialize termios structure to zero when fetching it fails
900     (see http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=84647 for a
901     partial patch).
902     - bump max columns/rows to 10000 each.
903     - bump max savelines to 10000000.
904     - -pty-fd now passes the urxvtc fd to the urxvtd process.
905     - avoid linking against -lnsl/-lsocket/-lxpg4 unless necessary.
906     - major code cleanup (still not complete, though).
907     - implement -hold option.
908     - _major_ rewrite of internal buffer handling:
909 root 1.443 - re-flow on resize, lines get wrapped instead of winged.
910 root 1.440 - circular line buffer (substantially speeds up scrolling).

913 mikachu 1.1058 - considerably improved code clarity.

915     buffer.

920     (matters only for rxvtd).
921     - fix small typoe in rxvt.1 (found by Mike Fabian).
922     - don't crash when broken xft/fontconfig/freetype versions return

929 sf-exg 1.1063 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: -fade changed its meaning to comply with

931     percentage by 100-percentage.
932     - integrated "fade to specific colour" patch by Martin Parm.
933     - slow down the internal visual bell (delay by 20ms) and update
934     the terminfo flash code to use the same delay. This is
935     synchronous, so many bells might inhibit screen updates in other
936     windows.
937     - text with background==foreground colour gets displayed with default
938     bg/fg now when in reverse video, so it can be seen when selecting.
939     - allow koi8r* as x11 encoding name for koi8r (Nikita Danilov).

947     not support local unix connections, e.g cygwin. (btw, I didn't
948     even know about the -rootless and -multiwindow Cygwin/X modes).
949     - large amounts of text without control sequences or newlines
950     could almost freeze output. This has been fixed by adding extra

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

994 root 1.430 escape sequence, which is probably exploitable (fix by
995     Rob Holland / Yoann Vandoorselaere / Gentoo Audit Team).
996     - Custom key mappings no longer confuse mouse buttons
997     with modifiers.
998 root 1.389 - use XmbSetWMProperties instead of XSetWMProperties.
999     - properly update WM_LOCALE.
1000 root 1.430 - implement _NET_WM_PING protocol.

1097     - reset slipwheel scrolling speed when reaching the top or bottom
1098     (Mikael Magnusson).
1099     - for core fonts, use ascent + descent when a font is loaded,
1100     and PIXEL_SIZE when not. when loading a font, iterate until a
1101     font has been found that _really_ fits the height (reported and
1102     tested by Olivier Wittenberg).

1130     - implement underlineColor resource when ENABLE_FRILLS.
1131 sf-exg 1.1063 - iom left its signal pipe handle open in the child

1158     - fix off-by-one bug with wide characters at the end of a line,
1159     which got partially overwritten by spaces.
1160     - as xlib is completely broken with respect to utf-8 handling
1161     and nobody is going to fix it, that part has been re-implemented.

1213     - move XFilterEvent up, as some input method seem to want events
1214     for windows not requesting XIM. Please report if this change
1215     causes any harm (specially with pointerblanking)
1216     (patch by Kuang-che Wu).
1217     - send the input method spot position on every refresh, not just
1218     when rxvt thinks it should (which was not often enough...).
1219     - fix double-wide combining characters (it might look a bit ugly,
1220     though, but common cases are handled by normalization anyways).
1221     - moved FAQ to rxvt(7), also made a copy into README.FAQ.
1222     - fix a bug(?) in the XIM destroy callback.
1223     - be more conservative when trying to register new input methods,
1224     as Xlib races might make rxvt crash. When two or more
1225     input methods are active, killing one probably still crashes rxvt
1226     due to that bug :( Thanks a lot to Kuang-che Wu for immense help
1227     in tracking this down.

1242     - support select&paste of tab characters.
1243 sf-exg 1.1035 - fixed a segfault when trying to load nonexistent fonts (reported

1245     - fixed a long-standing rxvt bug in which rxvt failed to save
1246     and restore the correct cursor position on the secondary screen.
1247     - reworked rxvt-unicode terminfo to allow more efficient and less flickering
1248     screen updates with curses.
1249     - wide characters that are being halfway overwritten are now replaced
1250     by spaces.
1251     - urxvtc now transmits urxvt as default name, not urxvtc anymore
1252     (likewise for other names chosen at configure time).
1253     - disabled the automatic font lookup for unknown characters. xft
1254     is just too slow for this to work.
1255     - changed realbold code, implemented _real_ bold and italic support,
1256     where _real_ means the symbiosis of what I want with what I can
1257     implement. use --enable-styles.
1258     - removed 256 color mode, but enable 88 colours in all modes
1259     (88 to be compatible with 88 colour xterm which is widely
1260     supported, and most programs assume a non-iso colourtable
1261     for terminals with "odd" number of colours).
1262     - added doc/etc/rxvt-unicode.terminfo which is a big overhaul
1263     compared to the old rxvt terminfo.
1264 root 1.236 - sped up xft rendering by 30% *iff* the font allows it (i.e. is
1265 root 1.430 monospaced "enough") *and* matches the base font in width.
1266     - implement positive and negative character-font caching, which
1267     speeds up output immensely in case a character cannot be found
1268     (only for non-bold right now).
1269     - fix segfault in fading code on certain escape sequences.
1270     - better default font size and style.
1271     - rxvt-unicode is now much more picky about fonts not fitting
1272     into the base font, but to offset this it will check each
1273     single character against the base font extents and will only
1274     use the characters fitting into the bounding box (+ some fudge).
1275     - characters not fitting into the base boundary box will now often
1276     be used anyways, but the following characters will be redrawn
1277     more often to avoid pixel-droppings. This is like the original
1278     rxvt pixel-dropping pass but it's much faster.
1279     - scrollColor now affects plain scrollbar (Mikael Magnusson).
1280     - fixed segfault in overlay code when height was larger than the
1281     screen height.
1282     - cursor no longer shines "through" the overlay.
1283     - 7-bit ST marker detection was broken.
1284     - scrollbar didn't come back sometimes when switching it
1285     off/on using escape sequences (Mikael Magnusson).
1286     - fix lots of colour problems with focus fading.
1287     - $COLORFGBG was not set as documented.
1288     - fix iso 14755 5.1 support when --enable-frills but --disable-iso14755.
1289     - removed OSC 702.

1297 root 1.194 - fix OverTheSpot and OffTheSpot editing, which was broken since ages,
1298 root 1.430 due to no fontset being available. The fontset used is a very rough
1299     approximation to the rxvt font, though. This fixes the
1300     "cannot create input context" in most cases.
1301     - fix coordinates used for Over && OffTheSpot editing to fit directly
1302     at the cursor (Over) or into the top line (Off).
1303     - reset SIGHUP and SIGPIPE handlers to default values (they were
1304 sf-exg 1.1035 previously being ignored, causing programs not to exit on window
1305 root 1.430 close).
1306     - implemented simple overlays for feedback messages. believe it or
1307     not, this was a major blocker in implementing tabbed terminals.

1310 root 1.194 - fix crash on window close when the input method or context
1311 root 1.430 could not be created.
1312     - add work around for badly written programs (see debian bug
1313     #202497). This is _not_ a bug in rxvt but rather a race
1314     condition in other programs (e.g. jed). It works by forcefully
1315     sending SIGWINCH when rxvt sees the first output from the
1316     command. This workaround isn't perfect (a slight cost to
1317     wellbehaving programs who need to resize twice), but it usually
1318     works.
1319 root 1.194 - set correct pixel size in struct winsize.

1324     - fix some corner cases in autowrap handling.
1325     - remove various useless make cruft, renamed files to better
1326     reflect on their function, renamed many variables.
1327     - fixed printscreen functionality, as noted by Jinesh Choksi.
1328     - fix a problem where redraws of double-width characters sometimes

1352     - enable some report sequences even in secure mode, such as colour
1353     queries, as they are harmless(tm).
1354     - rxvt-unicode will now try to find a matching xft font if it can't
1355     find a matching font from the fallback list. It might look ugly,
1356     but if a xft font with our character exists, rxvt will find it.
1357     - moved FreeMono to the very back of the fallback list, as some
1358     people complain it looks ugly. This is a no-win situation, though.
1359     - fixed sourceforge bug 998970, reported against aterm:
1360     "crash on -sl 0 on super small windows".
1361     - decreased memory and code size when !--enable-transparency.
1362     - SYNCCVS. backported changes done to rxvt, except for Color_ufbg,
1363     which I think is better done through fading, and libW11, which
1364     needs testing anyways.
1365     - more complete compile options help output.
1366     - Provide linear scaled colour cubes for 256 colour mode.
1367     Pass them through as rgbi rather than rgb so that Xlib can

1452     - fix some minor bugs.
1453 pcg 1.110
1454 pcg 1.108 2.7 Mon Apr 5 02:11:15 CEST 2004
1455 pcg 1.114 - this version should now work fine with TERM=xterm, except
1456 root 1.430 for the keymappings.
1457     - don't leave the X or rxvtd sockets open in child processes.
1458     (inherited fd's stay open - different to rxvt).
1459     - xterm-compat: implemented OSC3, set/get window property. get is
1460     an extension and is slightly ugly.
1461 pcg 1.108 - removed --disable-swapscreen and SCROLL_ON_NO_SECONDARY and
1462 root 1.430 replaced them by runtime-configurable options secondaryScreen and
1463     secondaryScroll (-ssr and -ssc) (see debian bug #237673).
1464 pcg 1.108 - close down terminal window when child exits. (debian bug #241267).
1465 sf-exg 1.1035 - xterm-compat: enable separate mouse bg colour setting.
1466 root 1.430 - re-enable mouse cursor colours again, fixing colours when fg/bg are
1467     overwritten (as is common).
1468     - xterm-compat: correctly implement privmodes 1047, 1048, 1049.
1469     - ported to solaris by elmar@math.uni-bremen.de.
1470 pcg 1.108
1471     2.6 Fri Apr 2 03:24:10 CEST 2004
1472     - minor doc corrections.
1473 root 1.430 - WARNING: changed menu sequence from ESC ] 10 to ESC ] 703 to
1474     avoid clashes with xterm.
1475     - changed OSC701/OSC702 sequence to return standard escaped reports.
1476     - xterm-compat: make set window colour and other requests report
1477     window colour when arg is "?".
1478     - enable colour tinting of "transparent" backgrounds.
1479     - stop ST sequences earlier, as we now react on 0x90 and thus
1480     cause conditions more often that look like locks but are, in
1481     fact, just rxvt waiting for a ST/BEL etc.
1482     - re-enabled most of the "dangerous" echo escapes, but only
1483     when -insecure is specified as option or resource (see reference).
1484     (FRILLS).
1485     - disables sleep(1) on transparency updates on default.
1486     - fixes to make it compile better on solaris 2.9 (at least).
1487     asprintf replacement is still missing(!).
1488     - set _NET_WM_PID.
1489 pcg 1.108
1490 pcg 1.91 2.5 Sun Mar 28 04:05:51 CEST 2004
1491     - the usual sprinkled little code cleanups.
1492 root 1.430 - support more 8-bit controls.
1493     - more informative error messages.
1494     - fix some minor memleaks and possible memory corruptions.
1495     - the use of exception handling allowed the following improvements:
1496     - no longer block when waiting for completion of escape sequences
1497     (e.g. printf '\e';sleep 3;printf 'c' will no longer block).
1498     - rxvtc usage errors should no longer kill rxvtd (debian bug #237510).
1499 pcg 1.91
1500 pcg 1.83 2.4 Tue Mar 16 07:06:51 CET 2004
1501     - fix stupid double-free() bug on exit.
1502     - implement xterm private mode 1049.
1503 root 1.430 - fix manpages (debian bug #236824).
1504     - removed old selection style completely.
1505     - selection works _better_ for non-8-bit and double-width chars.
1506     - remove native->unicode translation tables. they aren't used anymore.
1507     reduces binary and distro size a bit.
1508     - add string representation for JIS X 0213:2000 so these fonts can
1509     be used from within rxvt.
1510     - less buggy complete set of line-drawing-characters (0x2500-0x259f).
1511 pcg 1.83
1512 pcg 1.74 2.3 Sun Mar 14 19:00:07 CET 2004
1513     - code cleanup release.
1514     - fix compile problems without --enable-combining.
1515 root 1.430 - fix segfault when DISPLAY cannot be opened.
1516     - removed HOTKEY_CTRL and HOTKEY_SHIFT, ACS_*, FONT0_IDX,
1517     MAX_NFONTS. UNICODE and UTF8 defines and references from
1518     all files.
1519     - default config now reads an app-defaults file even without
1520 sf-exg 1.1035 --enable-xgetdefault.
1521 pcg 1.74
1522 pcg 1.69 2.2 Thu Mar 11 01:41:56 CET 2004
1523 root 1.430 - implement autocompositing of characters by either using an existing
1524     precomposed unicode character or by graphical overlay. this is
1525     also used to store characters >16bit without --enable-unicode3.
1526     - selection now based on wchar_t, so that it can offer UTF-8
1527     selections even in locales unable to represent full unicode.
1528 pcg 1.69 - tis620-2529 is, of course, thai, not vietnamese...
1529 root 1.430 - a typoe prevented characters >65535 to be stored properly.
1530     - wcwidth is unreliable in non-unicode-locales on GNU/Linux.
1531     working around this fixes line-drawing characters in non-utf-8 mode.
1532     - improved rounding when emulating line-drawing characters.
1533     - implement continuation lines in xresource parsing when
1534     --disable-xgetdefault.
1535     - changed locale-setting esc-sequence from code 9 to code 701.
1536     also added 702 that returns the font selected for a specific
1537     unicode character.
1538 root 1.568 - no longer set CUT_BUFFER0. this is confusing and clients WILL
1539 root 1.430 get it wrong.
1540 root 1.568 - don't use XTextStyle for TEXT, instead use XStdICCTextStyle.
1541 pcg 1.69
1542 pcg 1.58 2.1 Wed Mar 3 21:48:39 CET 2004
1543 root 1.444 - NOTE: the name of the binary and resources were changed in
1544 root 1.430 this version, see README.configure if you want the old
1545     settings.
1546     - added plain "big5" encoding into CN.
1547     - make cns11643 and big5* encodings actually visible to rxvt.
1548     - fix a bug when a multibyte character fell onto a buffer boundary,
1549     causing the incomplete character to be presented twice to
1550     mbrtowc.
1551     - more robust encoding name matching.
1552     - fix cursor placement on multibyte characters.
1553     - when overwriting wide with narrow chars, pad with spaces.
1554     - fix various refresh and display issues for wide chars.
1555     - remove multibyte_cursor hack (it was a hack) and associated
1556     resources and docs.
1557     - fixed memory corruption bug with XLFD fontname parsing.

1569 pcg 1.46 1.9 Wed Feb 25 16:46:05 CET 2004
1570 pcg 1.38 - fixed bug in plain scrollbar causing X errors in XCreateGC.
1571 root 1.430 - implemented sharing of X connections. will be used to speed
1572     up many x operations considerably. Also saves some memory.
1573     - implemented caching of input methods. This immensely shortens
1574     startup time for new terms in rxvtd. At least XFree86 4.3 is
1575     rather broken with respect to input methods, though, so expect
1576     crashes when you kill your input method (xterm et al. also crash).
1577     - fix bugs in X flushing, causing an empty screen after startup.
1578     - fix various memleaks in rxvtd.
1579     - fix a bug that kept escape codes to be generated for some
1580     keysyms that also have string translations, when not --enable-xim.
1581     reported by joel reed.
1582     - re-enabled esc-seq. for font-switching (\033 ] 50 ; <fontset> \007).
1583     - re-enabled menubar (experimental!).
1584     - fix bug in locale-handling that kept the correct locale from
1585     being selected.
1586     - implemented esc-seq. to switch locales (\033 ] 9 ; <locale> \007).
1587     - removed greek support.
1588     - allow NUL bytes (ctrl-@) to be entered even with XIM enabled.
1589     - correct cursor width if !focus.
1590     - fixed --enable-xgetdefault, reported by eduard bloch.
1591 root 1.444 - added manpage for rxvtc/rxvtd based on the one eduard bloch
1592 root 1.430 contributed.
1593     - use reverse video for normal bold text unless colorBD has been set.
1594     - fixed endless loop when selection is valid but empty.
1595     - changed default terminal name to "rxvt".
1596     - many other minor bugfixes.
1597 pcg 1.26
1598 pcg 1.25 1.8 Mon Feb 2 20:09:18 CET 2004
1599 pcg 1.19 - almost total conversion to C++. Except for introducing
1600 root 1.430 new bugs, this should not change much.
1601 mikachu 1.1058 - fix and re-enable background pixmap and inherit pixmap support.
1602     - re-enabled multiple scrollbar support.
1603     - added plain scrollbar style and restored xterm scrollbar.
1604 root 1.430 - blinking and selections work slightly better now.
1605     - fix an error condition when rxvt receives more than one screenful
1606     of output. should occur with original rxvt, too, but very rarely.
1607     (I guess the code contains more surprises of this sort...)
1608 pcg 1.19
1609 pcg 1.18 1.7 Fri Jan 30 16:50:11 CET 2004
1610     - further cleanups.
1611 root 1.430 - never do last-minute-changes: restore ability to have
1612     color + bold as high-intensity, and let the selection
1613     use reverse video, not _blink_.
1614     - remove OPTION_HC, at least temporarily. If you want it back,
1615     please drop me a note.
1616 pcg 1.16
1617 pcg 1.15 1.6 Fri Jan 30 00:34:01 CET 2004
1618 pcg 1.14 - cleanups, minor bugfixes.
1619 root 1.430 - blinking text.
1620     - normal text color + bold gets white text instead of
1621     normal text when colorBD is not set.
1622     (- support double-wide characters (by blocking).)
1623     was never implemented
1624 pcg 1.13

1630     reported by fefe
1631     - make it compile without pointer_blank, reported by
1632     Markus Demleitner
1633     - improved selection support, now supports UTF8_STRING
