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?

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 1.1079 9.16
25 sf-exg 1.1077 - the font height is not augmented anymore when lineSpace is non zero.
26 root 1.1076 - fix "new pagemap" vs. "delete pagemap" mismatch ([] vs. non-[]),
27     as diagnosed by clang.
28 sf-exg 1.1075 - fix height mismatch between active and inactive cursor when
29     lineSpace is non zero (patch by Stanislav Seletskiy).
30 root 1.1078 - make it compile with LOCAL_X_IS_UNIX again (reported by
31     nickfailure@gmail.com).
32 sf-exg 1.1075
33 root 1.1074 9.15 Sat Jan 21 13:36:56 CET 2012
34 root 1.1073 - remove "using namespace std" because clang erroneously
35     thinks thats an error.
36 root 1.1069 - finding a matching font (e.g. bold version of the base font)
37 sf-exg 1.1070 was broken (reported by Eamon Walker).
38 sf-exg 1.1063 - fix parsing of bg image styles. They really work now.
39 sf-exg 1.1064 - fix blurring of bg image borders when using xrender.
40 sf-exg 1.1068 - fix xrender blur on common xrender implementations that do
41     not behave correctly when the same pixmap is used as source
42     and destination in composite operations.
43     - fix regression that caused tabbed to compute the wrong size
44     for tabs.
45 sf-exg 1.1067 - allow again an empty suffix in a keysym list spec (patch by
46     Sung Pae).
47 sf-exg 1.1072 - unsupported support for sun studio's CC added.
48     - fix -C option on solaris.
49 sf-exg 1.1063
50 root 1.1062 9.14 Wed Dec 21 18:40:33 CET 2011
51 sf-exg 1.1052 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: the urxvtd default socket path is now
52     $HOME/.urxvt/urxvtd-<nodename>.
53 mikachu 1.1058 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: the "list" keysym expansion now requires
54     loading of the "keysym-list" perl extension.
55 sf-exg 1.1038 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: A scale value of 0 in the bg image
56     geometry no longer enables tiling, so as to make it possible
57     to disable both scaling and tiling.
58 mikachu 1.1058 - overhaul of the bg image operations. The old operations have
59     been deprecated in favour of elementary operations and
60     styles built on top of the new operations and scale/position
61     settings. (Emanuele Giaquinta).
62     - support for libafterimage is deprecated and will be removed
63     in the next release.
64     - fix a crash caused by selection_check not properly resetting
65     out-of-bounds mark values (can happen when extending a selection
66     while scrolling up in curses programs for example).
67     - do not move the selection when scrolling up and the selection is
68     outside the scrolling region (Emanuele Giaquinta).
69     - fix display of bold bright black (reported by Ben Winslow).
70     - fix memory leak when urgentOnBell is set (patch by Nathaniel
71     Filardo).
72     - fix a redraw bug that occurs when a bg pixmap is set and the
73     wm does not honour the size hints set by urxvt. Now urxvt
74     forces the size of the terminal window to be a multiple of
75     the cell size.
76 sf-exg 1.1034 - sanitise the argument of SD / SU sequences. Fixes a possible
77     crash when the argument is big enough, red hat bug #711137
78     (Emanuele Giaquinta).
79 mikachu 1.1058 - correctly split long lines when scrolling.
80 sf-exg 1.1051 - urxvt now looks for perl extensions also in $HOME/.urxvt/ext.
81     - add bell-command perl extension to execute a command when a
82     bell event occurs (Ryan Kavanagh).
83 sf-exg 1.1055 - add set_urgency perl binding to set/reset the urgency hint.
84 sf-tpope 1.1041 - consume button release event in matcher (exg).
85 sf-tpope 1.1042 - keyboard accessible list of recent matches in matcher
86     (Bob Farrell).
87 sf-exg 1.1043 - properly process 'keysym' sequences in tabbed when using
88     'focus follows mouse' and the focus is on the main window
89     but not on the active terminal window (patch by Martin
90     Pohlack).
91 root 1.1059 - support for the freedesktop startup-notification protocol (patch by
92 mikachu 1.1048 Michael Stapelberg).
93 mikachu 1.1058 - the direction of VPR and VPB commands was reversed.
94 root 1.1059 - fix alignment of inherited root pixmap when it is a different size
95 mikachu 1.1057 than the root window and the terminal window is off the left or top
96     edge (Mikachu).
97 mikachu 1.1061 - make $self visible in "eval perl expression" popup action, also
98     handle exceptions better.
99 sf-exg 1.1060 - fix parsing of '-e' when it occurs as an option argument, such as in
100     'urxvt -title -e' (Emanuele Giaquinta).
101 sf-exg 1.1034
102 root 1.1033 9.12 Wed Jun 29 14:34:28 CEST 2011
103 mikachu 1.1058 - fix regression in processing of SelectionNotify events.
104     urxvt would fail to request a selection if the owner did not
105     support the UTF8_STRING target.
106     - fix rendering of double width chars in certain circumstances, more
107     likely to happen if urxvt is compiled with 256 colors support as
108     urxvt runs out of fonts much earlier then. Fixes gentoo bug #358151
109     (Emanuele Giaquinta).
110     - restore support for 'list' syntax in keysym resources (requested by Sung Pae).
111 root 1.1028 - always premultiply colour values - while this increases differences between
112 mikachu 1.1058 core fonts and xft, it is "more correct" in practical situations.
113     - disable PTYTTY_REENTRANT option - not needed for urxvt and saves a bit of code.
114     - remove lucidatypewriter from the list of fallback fonts, it was the only
115     non-xft non-cellfont in the list anyway.
116 sf-exg 1.1026
117 sf-exg 1.1025 9.11 Mon May 2 10:34:46 CEST 2011
118 mikachu 1.1058 - fix compilation on GNU/Hurd, debian bug #624736.
119     - remove 'list' syntax for keysym resources, as it serves no useful purpose.
120     If you need it, poke us and provide a use case.
121     - fix alpha channel support. Premultiply alpha in colours if the visual
122     supports an alpha channel, as xrender expects premultiplied alpha
123     (Emanuele Giaquinta).
124     - fix reply to a selection request sent by an obsolete client
125     such as syncterm (patch by Marcin Cieslak).
126 sf-exg 1.1019 - fix crash when the window is resized and the overlay is active
127     (Emanuele Giaquinta, reported by Ryan Kavanagh).
128 mikachu 1.1058 - match character-wise rather than byte-wise in selection
129     extension again. perl 5.8.9+ is required to avoid extreme
130     slowdowns. Fixes debian bugs #523072, #616463.
131     - fix a possible crash if the INCR transfer process for a
132     selection property timeouts and at least one chunk is
133     received. (Emanuele Giaquinta)
134 sf-exg 1.1020 - work around a memory corruption bug in xorg's XrmSetDatabase (apparently
135 mikachu 1.1058 broken since http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/xorg-commit-diffs/2004-March/000239.html).
136     - fix memory corruption bug when custom command sequences bound to keys
137     were injected into an already-full pty input buffer.
138     - gdk-pixbuf is autodetected by default and preferred over libafterimage.
139     - do not prepend a newline to the selection text when the starting line
140     of the selection is not highlighted (Emanuele Giaquinta).
141 root 1.988 - don't swap perl env with real env, save and restore it, just in case
142 mikachu 1.1058 we ever get recursive perl invocations. also saves a bit of codespace
143     with gcc.
144     - fix various memory leaks (Emanuele Giaquinta).
145     - fix typo in kIC terminfo capability, debian bug #446444.
146     - document 'thickness' resource.
147     - fix debian bug #504817, to the extent possible.
148 sf-exg 1.1014 - try to detect byte order at compile time, saves a couple of
149 mikachu 1.1058 hundred bytes, if your compiler is smart enough.
150     - add support for previewing the pasted data in confirm-paste
151     (Emanuele Giaquinta).
152     - added "newlines to spaces" option in selection-popup.
153     - actually enabled solaris event ports backend (was disabled by accident).
154     - revert to 38400 baud max., mission accomplished.
155     - no longer create scary "pty_fill: PLEASE REPORT" message, instead,
156     silently drain the input (problem is well understood now).
157     - no longer swallow rob nation's own graphics mode commands.
158 root 1.988
159 root 1.987 9.10 Mon Dec 13 17:43:52 CET 2010
160 root 1.990 - the "schmorp=north korea dickey=south korea" release.
161 mikachu 1.1058 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: make OSC 20 simpler and more correct
162     (Emanuele Giaquinta).
163 root 1.982 - if options were compiled out, this could lead to the option
164 mikachu 1.1058 count to be defined wrongly. This is likely behind the
165     failures with gcc 4.5.
166     - explicitly depend on fontconfig and xrender when xft support
167     is enabled. Although the public Xft api uses types from
168     both, in Xft 2.2.0 these libs are private
169     dependencies only thanks to an idiotic behaviour of
170     pkg-config that was added to workaround cases like this one.
171     Fixes linking when using GNU ld with --as-needed or GNU gold
172     (based on patch by Jan Palus).
173     - fix minor memory leaks in urxvt and urxvtd.
174     - fix regression in urxvtd that prevented options from being correctly
175     set (reported by Michal Vaner).
176 sf-exg 1.978 - implement xterm's horribly broken 1005 mouse reporting mode,
177 mikachu 1.1058 and an alternative 1015 mode that works in non-utf-8 locales
178     and has fewer limitations.
179 sf-exg 1.977 - fix a possible bug where mouse notifications didn't work after
180 mikachu 1.1058 startup for the upper left corner.
181     - implement our own pixbuf to pixmap rendering to get rid of
182     dependency on buggy gdk-pixbuf-xlib. Only truecolor visuals
183     are supported (Emanuele Giaquinta).
184     - apply tinting before shading when both operations are requested.
185     Previously they were intermixed when lightening and the result
186     was inaccurate and confusing. Note that now a black tint yields a
187     completely black image, regardless of shading (Emanuele Giaquinta).
188     - avoid spurious redraws of the bg image when bg is transparent or
189     when using 'root' mode (Emanuele Giaquinta).
190     - fix build on XFree86.
191     - dynamically number options according to compiletime requirements.
192     For the extra saved byte. Or so. Yay.
193     - start options at one, not zero. Wastes a bit per terminal. Maybe.
194     saves 50 instruction bytes. Possibly.
195 sf-exg 1.975
196 root 1.974 9.09 Sat Nov 13 01:39:07 CET 2010
197     - NOTICE: this release updates terminfo/termcap.
198     - the bestest release ever.
199 mikachu 1.1058 - it was verified that urxvt handles µ and μ correctly.
200 sf-exg 1.961 - add support for blending and blurring with XRender (Emanuele Giaquinta).
201     - add support for using gdk-pixbuf as image backend (Emanuele Giaquinta).
202 root 1.974 - cleanup and minor fixes of the image code (Emanuele Giaquinta).
203 sf-exg 1.957 - new perl extension "confirm-paste" (Emanuele Giaquinta).
204 sf-exg 1.955 - new on_tt_paste perl hook and tt_paste perl binding (Emanuele Giaquinta).
205 sf-exg 1.959 - new on_bell perl hook (Emanuele Giaquinta).
206     - searchable-scrollback no longer ignores the first line
207     (Emanuele Giaquinta).
208 sf-exg 1.972 - properly set VSTATUS in termios for *BSD (reported by Ed Schouten).
209 sf-exg 1.954 - fix utmpx detection on upcoming FreeBSD 9.
210 sf-exg 1.953 - Use COMPOUND_TEXT encoding for WM_NAME/WM_ICON_NAME value when it
211     is not fully convertible to STRING (patch by James Cloos).
212 mikachu 1.1058 - fix a buffer overflow that would cause wrong key sequences to
213     be generated for numpad keys (introduced in 9.05).
214     - fix definition of sgr0 to work around limitations in luit.
215 root 1.947 - extend ISO 14755 5.4 mode to also print the font name of the
216     characters other than first one in the selected cell
217     (Emanuele Giaquinta).
218     - new iso14755 option to disable ISO 14755 at runtime
219 mikachu 1.1058 (Emanuele Giaquinta).
220 root 1.947 - make sure pagewise scrolling scrolls at least one line
221 mikachu 1.1058 (found by Mikachu).
222 sf-exg 1.956 - remove deprecated OSC 18 / 19 and make OSC 17 / 19 apply to
223     highlightColor / highlightTextColor (Emanuele Giaquinta).
224 sf-exg 1.945 - add highlightTextColor resource to change the foreground colour of
225 sf-exg 1.956 highlighted characters (Emanuele Giaquinta).
226 sf-exg 1.945 - make highlightColor apply also to selected cells with reverse video
227 sf-exg 1.956 but not to non selected cells with reverse video (Emanuele Giaquinta).
228 sf-exg 1.945 - remove colorRV resource (it was enabled only with frills off).
229 root 1.941 - fix numlock handling, the most longstanding bug to date (Emanuele Giaquinta).
230 mikachu 1.1058 - reduce the number of custom bits to 4, to make room
231     for 256 colours.
232 sf-exg 1.959 - add support for 256 colors (Emanuele Giaquinta, Marc Lehmann).
233 mikachu 1.1058 - add rxvt-unicode-256color terminfo and use it by default in 256 colors mode.
234     - update rxvt-unicode terminfo to state 7744 colour pairs to cover all
235     88*88 possible pairs.
236     - actually added macosx-clipboard-native, which should have been in
237     the 9.07 release but had been forgotten.
238     - fix hang if DECAWM is not set and there are not enough columns to insert a
239     character (Emanuele Giaquinta).
240     - cub1 ("backspace") will now respect wrapping when past the rightmost column,
241     working around a shortcoming of most tty line discipline's line editing.
242 sf-exg 1.935 - add support for grabbing the clipboard selection and extend
243     selection{_clear,_grab,} perl bindings to optionally work
244     on the clipboard selection (based on patch by Dana Jansens).
245 mikachu 1.1058 - no longer force CERASE to BACKSPACE - use the system default. affects
246     default value for VERASE only when no compatible setting for
247     backspacekey was given.
248     - use higher than 38400 baudrate setting, if detected.
249     - erase screen would clear to the wrong background when blinking
250     was enabled (which selects high intensity under some circumstances).
251     - scr_kill_char didn't touch the line.
252     - upgrade and port to libev-4.01.
253     - enabled solaris event ports and kqueue backends (if available).
254 sf-exg 1.930
255 root 1.928 9.07 Wed Dec 30 07:07:18 CET 2009
256 root 1.916 - port to glibc-2.10 changes (strchr etc. returning const char *
257 mikachu 1.1058 in C++), based on patches by Milos Jakubicek and Oliver Mader.
258     - the binary search algorithm to find precomposed characters
259     was faulty, skipping some possible combinations (found by
260     Mikachu).
261     - new -letterspace option, patch by Mark H. Wilkinson.
262 root 1.910 - enable --mlock option for urxvt with frills on
263 mikachu 1.1058 systems supporting it (patch by Russell Harmon).
264 root 1.908 - urxvt did not compile without frills enabled
265 mikachu 1.1058 (analysed by Matthew Rosewarne).
266     - correctly reset the mbstate after an illegal
267     input sequence when handling terminal output (Emanuele Giaquinta).
268     - avoid redrawing wide characters with combining enabled on every
269     refresh (reported by Mikachu).
270     - fix a typo preventing the ISO-646.1991 character set from being
271     recognized (http://achurch.org/patch-pile/).
272     - better warning for x11 font encoding detection failures, also,
273     try to deduce encoding from both font properties and name
274     (adapted from http://achurch.org/patch-pile/).
275     - resizing the window with the scrollbar disabled via the escapes
276     sequence could make the window bigger again (Mikachu).
277     - make sure the alignment for fd passing control messages
278     is correct and work around some NetBSD issues (Taylor R Campbell).

283     - assertions in libev are now enabled depending on frills.
284     - update AnyEvent implementation to version 5.23 API.
285     - work around arrogant bsd idiocies again: netbsd spills the default
286     namespace with lots of symbols "for gnu/gcc compatibility" even
287     though neither of them does it, and then calls the rest of the world
288     in need of fixing. go figure.
289     - on_keyboard_command is on_user_command (patch by Michael Witten).
290     - setting the selection from perl will now reset the selection screen
291     to the current screen. the screen can be manipulated using
292     the new ->selection_screen method.
293     - implement --enable-assert configure option and get rid of DEBUG_STRICT
294     (based on patch by Emanuele Giaquinta).
295     - fix printpipe data output (patch by Emanuele Giaquinta).
296     - allow `xxx' quoting style for perl selection.
297     - upgrade to libev-3.9 prerelease.
298     - updated compose tables to unicode 5.2.0.
299 root 1.908
300 root 1.906 9.06 Sat Nov 8 17:47:18 CET 2008
301 root 1.901 - NOTICE: this release updates terminfo/termcap.
302 mikachu 1.1058 - updates libev to 3.48.
303 root 1.886 - the aterm code now frees the as visual and image manager objects
304 mikachu 1.1058 when a window was closed.
305     - do not (wrongly) adjust the virtual line length inside
306     scr_insdel_chars/ERASE (Miroslav Lichvar).
307     - fix an issue where wide tab characters caused character shifts
308     when part of them was deleted (tracked down by Miroslav Lichvar).
309     - artificially enlargen the previous character at the end of a line
310     when trying to output a character that doesn't fit. looks ugly, but
311     makes copy&paste work.
312 root 1.879 - remove bogus "setuid/setgid security issues" from rxvt.1.pod, they
313 mikachu 1.1058 no longer apply.
314     - the urgency hint is now cleared on both focus in and focus out.
315     - cache urgency hint locally to avoid server rtt on every focus change.
316 root 1.878 - perl 5.10 needs PERL_SYS_INIT3 on hppa.
317 root 1.875 - ignore byte-order marks and do not treat them like combining characters.
318 mikachu 1.1058 - fix build issue when CURSOR_BLINK is not defined (Emanuele Giaquinta).
319     - do some µ-optimisations to the character fast path.
320     - use a less cunning, but more robust algorithm to avoid one terminal
321     monopolising the whole process by outputting a lot of text.
322     - try to work around linux first breaking sched_yield and now breaking
323     the only known workaround.
324     - new option -icon to set _NET_WM_ICON (based on patch by Frank Schmitt).
325     - initialise the as visual only on demand, instead of unconditionally,
326     to save memory in the common case of not using visual gimmicks.
327     - try to work around bugs in a few wm's that erroneously resize
328     client windows on hint property updates by temporarily
329     disabling size hints.
330     - implement the DECSTR soft reset sequence and use it for tput init,
331     and make hard RIS and DECSTR both reset more private modes, such
332     as mouse reporting.
333     - redundantly clear mouse reporting and a few other states in
334     tput init/tput reset, for older urxvts.
335     - partial/full clear screens did cause flickering and possibly pixel
336     droppings when urxvt viewed the scrollback buffer.
337     - use current rendition style in DCH sequence.
338     - the 132/80 mode switch no longer forces a screen reset.
339     - add an osc sequence to change the border colour (Emanuele Giaquinta).
340     - new perl extension "overlay-osc", for status displays and the like.

347 root 1.870 - new option --cd/chdir to set the starting working directory.
348 mikachu 1.1058 - tabbed extension now starts in the "correct" working directory.
349 root 1.871 - work around fedora 9 providing isastream but not the relevant
350 mikachu 1.1058 header file for it (report by Tuncer Ayaz).
351 root 1.924 - upgrade libev, fixing a bug in the select backend.

353 root 1.861 - correctly reset the multibyte state to the initial one
354 mikachu 1.1058 after EILSEQ (patch by Neil Booth). This fixes the
355     issue of rxvt-unicode not properly displaying text after an illegal
356     sequence on NetBSD and probably other systems.
357     - more intelligent property handling with -pe tabbed, works around
358     broken window managers (kwm et al.), saves bandwidth and should

501     - scrollbar-xterm now uses the selected scrollColor instead of fg

580     resources have a lower priority than display-specific resources.
581     - add "kuake" perl extension that does a similar thing to the kuake

583     - use less "correct" color scaling that is compatible with libX11 and
584     Xft (avoids off-by-one colors resulting in striped backgrounds).
585     - the "depth" resource is now respected.
586     - preset the searchable-scrollback pattern with "(?i)" to default search

628     - modified XIM according to a patch sent by Takano Akio that sets
629     the preedit rectangle for OverTheSpot, which helps some input methods
630     to correctly position their preedit window.
631     - un-optimise the line clearing on newly scrolled-in lines a bit: the
632     former reasoning was that any fg colour on default bg looks the same
633     in empty spaces, but that's not true when reversing (e.g. selection),
634     so also check for matching fg colours. This fixes the problem where
635     selecting newly scrolled-in lines would exhibit wrong colours.
636     - fix a bug in the perl interface causing focus in events to generate

638     - fix a race resulting in a crash on exiting.
639     - fix a with --disable-xft that caused xfreecolors to be called on

680     - detect totally broken fonts (usually synthesized by xft).
681     - careful mode forced refresh sometimes clashed with blinking,
682     causing unnecessary screen redraws.
683     - better handling of XFT combining characters.
684     - enable antialiasing for some replacement fonts, as they
685     might get used for other encodings which really need it, later.
686     - remove spacing=100 from all default fonts, as this creates totally
687     weird spacing (5 times normal) with xft.
688     - removed iso10646 fallback, as xorgs iso10646 encoded fonts are mostly
689     broken.
690     - removed gnu unifont fallback, all combining characters are broken.
691     - replace named colours by xorg's rgb.txt equivalents, to
692     reduce round trip time on startup, and short-cut allocation
693     of rgb:rr/gg/bb for xft.
694     - short-cut allocation of rgb values in the xlib case
695     (patch by Paco-Paco).
696     - overhauled color management: smaller codesize, alpha support.
697     - support "rgba:rrrr/gggg/bbbb/aaaa" color specifications and
698     an "[alpha]" prefix.
699     - try to work around Xft and Xrender forcing everything to be 100%
700     transparent. Long Live Xft!
701     - do not include X11/Intrinsic.h anymore, directly use
702     Xlib/Xutil/Xresource directly.

727     - moved Shift-Button2 paste combination to Meta-Button2.
728     - the cutchars resource will now be respected and used by the
729     selection extension.
730     - added the "remote-clipboard" extension which just runs external
731     commands to fetch and store the selection data.
732     - added -depth switch that tries to get a different visual depth
733     than the default (replaces the old PREFER_24_BIT logic).
734     - removed (unused) arabic presentation form composing sequences.
735     - be more strict when deciding that a core font glyph is too wide and
736     needs the careful rendering mode.
737     - allow more leeway for italic fonts when deciding that a character is
738     too wide and needs careful mode.

749     environments necessary, which resulted in segfaults within
750     getenv (reproducible: urxvt -fn 9x15, open a menu once,
751     ctrl-shift-672c).
752     - bugfix: the selection speedup in in 7.1 unfortunately caused
753     non-ascii characters to enlarge/move the selection.
754     - bugfix: resizing sometimes leaked lines from the secondary to
755     the primary screen.
756     - bugfix: reducing window size while large amounts of text were output
757     could lead to an assertion failure.
758     - added "tabbed" extension that provides a crude tabbed terminal.
759     - added "readline" extension that allows cursor positioning
760     via mouse clicks.
761 root 1.556 - now it is possible to insert the value of the CLIPBOARD selection

763 mikachu 1.1058 - fixed the automove-background extension to ignore coordinates
764     in non-synthetic events.
765     - created a separate libpty for portable and secure
766     pty/tty/utmp/wtmp/lastlog handling, and include it in rxvt-unicode.
767     - the non-terminfo visual bell now works asynchronously, so
768     continuous ASCI BELs in one terminal do no longer monopolise the
769     whole urxvt[d] process.
770     - support some *BSD makes (for the time being, gnu make is a safe bet).

776 mikachu 1.1058 - setuid/setgid operation is now _encouraged_: security has been
777     improved by moving privileged operations into a separate process
778     and permanently dropping privileges within the terminal. This
779     makes it possible to remove security checks from the perl code
780     and gives a much safer feeling when urxvt needs to run with
781     special privileges.
782     - perl taint checking disabled, as urxvt no longer runs setuid/setgid
783     itself.
784     - new perl extension automove-background that can be used to get
785     the same effect as pseudo-transparency with any pixmap.
786     - new perl extension example: perl/selection-pastebin, can be used to
787     e.g. upload the selection to a webserver and generate a url, or
788     similar stuff.
789 root 1.521 - use the scrollback buffer even when the scroll region doesn't

794     code was O(n²), which equals infinity in some degenerate cases
795     :-> Matching is now done on UTF-8, which makes it almost instant.
796     - perl/selection, perl/selection-autotransform: regexes are now
797     being interpreted in the locale urxvt was started.
798     - implemented override-redirect option and enabled it on menus,
799     as kwin puts our windows behind the terminal (what a shoddy wm).
800     - fixed struct utmp check in configure for OpenBSD.
801     - complete overhaul of the pty/utmp management stuff and configure

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

821     option-popup extensions enabled by default.
822     - increased xft drawing speed for problematic fonts. The effect
823     will likely be small as 99% of the xft slowness is server-related.
824     - perl: much increased functionality, better overlays, popup support
825     and much much more.
826     - perl: urxvt::line now can set via ->t and ->r.
827     - perl: changed interpretation of --perl-ext-common and -pe.
828     - perl: finally implemented --perl-eval.
829     - perl: non-blocking anyevent support.
830     - perl: run tainted and ignore perl-eval/perl-lib if started
831     setuid/setgid.
832     - free the resource database: this plugs a massive memory leak. As a
833     side effect, it also gets rid of XGetDefault calls.
834     - free one of the cursors, fixes a small memory leak.
835     - built-in (as opposed to terminfos) visual bell was broken/too fast.
836     - applied minor cleanups by Ladislav Michnovic.
837     - applied pty handling cleanups and improvements (Emanuele Giaquinta).
838     - mark-urls launch-on-click by jepler.

840     compatible, and not really small either.
841     - removed PATH_ENV and PATH file search support.
842     - removed support for locale-specific app-defaults file.
843     - fixed a bug where out-of-bounds colour sequences could lead
844     to crashes.
845     - limit colour changing to the standard 88 palette instead of all
846     colours.
847     - XTerm_Color01 sequence returned wrong results in query mode.

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

878     obscure the mouse cursor position.
879 root 1.463 - replaced callback.h by a fixed version from gvpe that correctly
880 mikachu 1.1058 returns the callback result (affects new -pty-fd semantics in urxvtc

890 root 1.452 - fix a crash when the selection scrolls out of the scrollback
891 mikachu 1.1058 while the user still drags.

896     - iso14755 overlay position was wrong.
897     - iso14755 overlay now displays rendition info, too.
898     - use unicode white space class instead of hardcoded values for
899     stripping whitespace.
900     - do whitespace stripping on rectangular selections.
901     - slight cleanups in src/features.h.

909     (see http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=84647 for a
910     partial patch).
911     - bump max columns/rows to 10000 each.
912     - bump max savelines to 10000000.

915     - major code cleanup (still not complete, though).
916     - implement -hold option.
917     - _major_ rewrite of internal buffer handling:

941     - integrated "fade to specific colour" patch by Martin Parm.
942     - slow down the internal visual bell (delay by 20ms) and update
943     the terminfo flash code to use the same delay. This is
944     synchronous, so many bells might inhibit screen updates in other
945     windows.
946     - text with background==foreground colour gets displayed with default
947     bg/fg now when in reverse video, so it can be seen when selecting.

957     even know about the -rootless and -multiwindow Cygwin/X modes).
958     - large amounts of text without control sequences or newlines

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

1097     highly configurable (e.g. locale changes, custom escape
1098     sequences, and more). See keysym resource in rxvt(1).
1099     - remove default key sequence for unknown keys again, as this
1100     can be achieved by customizing the keyboard now.

1102     resulting in segfaults.
1103     - don't crash when the saved cursor position doesn't fit on the
1104     screen (wrong assert in original rxvt, reported by ikaro).
1105     - fix signed/unsigned bugs on wc<->mb conversions.
1106     - reset slipwheel scrolling speed when reaching the top or bottom
1107     (Mikael Magnusson).
1108     - for core fonts, use ascent + descent when a font is loaded,
1109     and PIXEL_SIZE when not. when loading a font, iterate until a
1110     font has been found that _really_ fits the height (reported and
1111     tested by Olivier Wittenberg).

1137     time (12.8s -> 7.8s on my dsl). Still, doing it with only 2-3
1138     turnarounds would be much faster, but impossible to implement(?).
1139     - implement underlineColor resource when ENABLE_FRILLS.
1140 sf-exg 1.1063 - iom left its signal pipe handle open in the child

1167     - fix off-by-one bug with wide characters at the end of a line,
1168     which got partially overwritten by spaces.
1169     - as xlib is completely broken with respect to utf-8 handling
1170     and nobody is going to fix it, that part has been re-implemented.
1171     should fix most paste problems between apps that use UTF8 encoding
1172     and rxvt running in a lesser-supported locale (thanks to Robin Redeker

1222     - move XFilterEvent up, as some input method seem to want events
1223     for windows not requesting XIM. Please report if this change
1224     causes any harm (specially with pointerblanking)
1225     (patch by Kuang-che Wu).
1226     - send the input method spot position on every refresh, not just
1227     when rxvt thinks it should (which was not often enough...).
1228     - fix double-wide combining characters (it might look a bit ugly,
1229     though, but common cases are handled by normalization anyways).
1230     - moved FAQ to rxvt(7), also made a copy into README.FAQ.
1231     - fix a bug(?) in the XIM destroy callback.
1232     - be more conservative when trying to register new input methods,
1233     as Xlib races might make rxvt crash. When two or more
1234     input methods are active, killing one probably still crashes rxvt
1235     due to that bug :( Thanks a lot to Kuang-che Wu for immense help

1251     - support select&paste of tab characters.
1252 sf-exg 1.1035 - fixed a segfault when trying to load nonexistent fonts (reported

1254     - fixed a long-standing rxvt bug in which rxvt failed to save
1255     and restore the correct cursor position on the secondary screen.
1256     - reworked rxvt-unicode terminfo to allow more efficient and less flickering
1257     screen updates with curses.
1258     - wide characters that are being halfway overwritten are now replaced
1259     by spaces.
1260     - urxvtc now transmits urxvt as default name, not urxvtc anymore
1261     (likewise for other names chosen at configure time).
1262     - disabled the automatic font lookup for unknown characters. xft
1263     is just too slow for this to work.
1264     - changed realbold code, implemented _real_ bold and italic support,
1265     where _real_ means the symbiosis of what I want with what I can
1266     implement. use --enable-styles.
1267     - removed 256 color mode, but enable 88 colours in all modes
1268     (88 to be compatible with 88 colour xterm which is widely
1269     supported, and most programs assume a non-iso colourtable
1270     for terminals with "odd" number of colours).
1271     - added doc/etc/rxvt-unicode.terminfo which is a big overhaul
1272     compared to the old rxvt terminfo.
1273 root 1.236 - sped up xft rendering by 30% *iff* the font allows it (i.e. is
1274 root 1.430 monospaced "enough") *and* matches the base font in width.
1275     - implement positive and negative character-font caching, which
1276     speeds up output immensely in case a character cannot be found
1277     (only for non-bold right now).
1278     - fix segfault in fading code on certain escape sequences.
1279     - better default font size and style.
1280     - rxvt-unicode is now much more picky about fonts not fitting
1281     into the base font, but to offset this it will check each
1282     single character against the base font extents and will only
1283     use the characters fitting into the bounding box (+ some fudge).
1284     - characters not fitting into the base boundary box will now often
1285     be used anyways, but the following characters will be redrawn
1286     more often to avoid pixel-droppings. This is like the original
1287     rxvt pixel-dropping pass but it's much faster.
1288     - scrollColor now affects plain scrollbar (Mikael Magnusson).
1289     - fixed segfault in overlay code when height was larger than the
1290     screen height.
1291     - cursor no longer shines "through" the overlay.
1292     - 7-bit ST marker detection was broken.
1293     - scrollbar didn't come back sometimes when switching it
1294     off/on using escape sequences (Mikael Magnusson).
1295     - fix lots of colour problems with focus fading.
1296     - $COLORFGBG was not set as documented.
1297     - fix iso 14755 5.1 support when --enable-frills but --disable-iso14755.
1298     - removed OSC 702.

1307 root 1.430 due to no fontset being available. The fontset used is a very rough
1308     approximation to the rxvt font, though. This fixes the
1309     "cannot create input context" in most cases.
1310     - fix coordinates used for Over && OffTheSpot editing to fit directly
1311     at the cursor (Over) or into the top line (Off).
1312     - reset SIGHUP and SIGPIPE handlers to default values (they were
1313 sf-exg 1.1035 previously being ignored, causing programs not to exit on window
1314 root 1.430 close).
1315     - implemented simple overlays for feedback messages. believe it or
1316     not, this was a major blocker in implementing tabbed terminals.

1319 root 1.194 - fix crash on window close when the input method or context

1321     - add work around for badly written programs (see debian bug
1322     #202497). This is _not_ a bug in rxvt but rather a race
1323     condition in other programs (e.g. jed). It works by forcefully
1324     sending SIGWINCH when rxvt sees the first output from the
1325     command. This workaround isn't perfect (a slight cost to
1326     wellbehaving programs who need to resize twice), but it usually
1327     works.

1333     - fix some corner cases in autowrap handling.
1334     - remove various useless make cruft, renamed files to better
1335     reflect on their function, renamed many variables.
1336     - fixed printscreen functionality, as noted by Jinesh Choksi.
1337     - fix a problem where redraws of double-width characters sometimes

1363     - rxvt-unicode will now try to find a matching xft font if it can't
1364     find a matching font from the fallback list. It might look ugly,
1365     but if a xft font with our character exists, rxvt will find it.
1366     - moved FreeMono to the very back of the fallback list, as some
1367     people complain it looks ugly. This is a no-win situation, though.
1368     - fixed sourceforge bug 998970, reported against aterm:
1369     "crash on -sl 0 on super small windows".
1370     - decreased memory and code size when !--enable-transparency.
1371     - SYNCCVS. backported changes done to rxvt, except for Color_ufbg,
1372     which I think is better done through fading, and libW11, which

1374     - more complete compile options help output.
1375     - Provide linear scaled colour cubes for 256 colour mode.
1376     Pass them through as rgbi rather than rgb so that Xlib can

1454 root 1.430 - fix some minor doc issues + some generated doc files are now
1455     getting distributed (closes debian bug #246035).
1456     - minor i18n issue fixes.
1457 pcg 1.114
1458 pcg 1.110 2.8 Thu Apr 8 22:44:36 CEST 2004
1459     - replace PF_LOCAL by PF_UNIX (portability).
1460 root 1.430 - try to detect -lnsl and -lsocket (portability).
1461     - fix some minor bugs.
1462 pcg 1.110
1463 pcg 1.108 2.7 Mon Apr 5 02:11:15 CEST 2004
1464 pcg 1.114 - this version should now work fine with TERM=xterm, except
1465 root 1.430 for the keymappings.
1466     - don't leave the X or rxvtd sockets open in child processes.
1467     (inherited fd's stay open - different to rxvt).
1468     - xterm-compat: implemented OSC3, set/get window property. get is
1469     an extension and is slightly ugly.
1470 pcg 1.108 - removed --disable-swapscreen and SCROLL_ON_NO_SECONDARY and
1471 root 1.430 replaced them by runtime-configurable options secondaryScreen and
1472     secondaryScroll (-ssr and -ssc) (see debian bug #237673).
1473 pcg 1.108 - close down terminal window when child exits. (debian bug #241267).
1474 sf-exg 1.1035 - xterm-compat: enable separate mouse bg colour setting.
1475 root 1.430 - re-enable mouse cursor colours again, fixing colours when fg/bg are
1476     overwritten (as is common).
1477     - xterm-compat: correctly implement privmodes 1047, 1048, 1049.
1478     - ported to solaris by elmar@math.uni-bremen.de.
1479 pcg 1.108
1480     2.6 Fri Apr 2 03:24:10 CEST 2004
1481     - minor doc corrections.
1482 root 1.430 - WARNING: changed menu sequence from ESC ] 10 to ESC ] 703 to
1483     avoid clashes with xterm.
1484     - changed OSC701/OSC702 sequence to return standard escaped reports.
1485     - xterm-compat: make set window colour and other requests report
1486     window colour when arg is "?".
1487     - enable colour tinting of "transparent" backgrounds.
1488     - stop ST sequences earlier, as we now react on 0x90 and thus
1489     cause conditions more often that look like locks but are, in
1490     fact, just rxvt waiting for a ST/BEL etc.
1491     - re-enabled most of the "dangerous" echo escapes, but only
1492     when -insecure is specified as option or resource (see reference).
1493     (FRILLS).
1494     - disables sleep(1) on transparency updates on default.
1495     - fixes to make it compile better on solaris 2.9 (at least).
1496     asprintf replacement is still missing(!).
1497     - set _NET_WM_PID.
1498 pcg 1.108
1499 pcg 1.91 2.5 Sun Mar 28 04:05:51 CEST 2004
1500     - the usual sprinkled little code cleanups.
1501 root 1.430 - support more 8-bit controls.
1502     - more informative error messages.
1503     - fix some minor memleaks and possible memory corruptions.
1504     - the use of exception handling allowed the following improvements:
1505     - no longer block when waiting for completion of escape sequences
1506     (e.g. printf '\e';sleep 3;printf 'c' will no longer block).
1507     - rxvtc usage errors should no longer kill rxvtd (debian bug #237510).
1508 pcg 1.91
1509 pcg 1.83 2.4 Tue Mar 16 07:06:51 CET 2004
1510     - fix stupid double-free() bug on exit.
1511     - implement xterm private mode 1049.
1512 root 1.430 - fix manpages (debian bug #236824).

1514     - selection works _better_ for non-8-bit and double-width chars.
1515     - remove native->unicode translation tables. they aren't used anymore.
1516     reduces binary and distro size a bit.
1517     - add string representation for JIS X 0213:2000 so these fonts can
1518     be used from within rxvt.
1519     - less buggy complete set of line-drawing-characters (0x2500-0x259f).
1520 pcg 1.83
1521 pcg 1.74 2.3 Sun Mar 14 19:00:07 CET 2004
1522     - code cleanup release.
1523     - fix compile problems without --enable-combining.
1524 root 1.430 - fix segfault when DISPLAY cannot be opened.
1525     - removed HOTKEY_CTRL and HOTKEY_SHIFT, ACS_*, FONT0_IDX,
1526     MAX_NFONTS. UNICODE and UTF8 defines and references from
1527     all files.
1528     - default config now reads an app-defaults file even without
1529 sf-exg 1.1035 --enable-xgetdefault.
1530 pcg 1.74
1531 pcg 1.69 2.2 Thu Mar 11 01:41:56 CET 2004
1532 root 1.430 - implement autocompositing of characters by either using an existing
1533     precomposed unicode character or by graphical overlay. this is
1534     also used to store characters >16bit without --enable-unicode3.
1535     - selection now based on wchar_t, so that it can offer UTF-8
1536     selections even in locales unable to represent full unicode.
1537 pcg 1.69 - tis620-2529 is, of course, thai, not vietnamese...
1538 root 1.430 - a typoe prevented characters >65535 to be stored properly.
1539     - wcwidth is unreliable in non-unicode-locales on GNU/Linux.
1540     working around this fixes line-drawing characters in non-utf-8 mode.
1541     - improved rounding when emulating line-drawing characters.
1542     - implement continuation lines in xresource parsing when
1543     --disable-xgetdefault.
1544     - changed locale-setting esc-sequence from code 9 to code 701.
1545     also added 702 that returns the font selected for a specific
1546     unicode character.
1547 root 1.568 - no longer set CUT_BUFFER0. this is confusing and clients WILL
1548 root 1.430 get it wrong.
1549 root 1.568 - don't use XTextStyle for TEXT, instead use XStdICCTextStyle.
1550 pcg 1.69
1551 pcg 1.58 2.1 Wed Mar 3 21:48:39 CET 2004
1552 root 1.444 - NOTE: the name of the binary and resources were changed in
1553 root 1.430 this version, see README.configure if you want the old
1554     settings.
1555     - added plain "big5" encoding into CN.
1556     - make cns11643 and big5* encodings actually visible to rxvt.
1557     - fix a bug when a multibyte character fell onto a buffer boundary,
1558     causing the incomplete character to be presented twice to
1559     mbrtowc.
1560     - more robust encoding name matching.
1561     - fix cursor placement on multibyte characters.
1562     - when overwriting wide with narrow chars, pad with spaces.
1563     - fix various refresh and display issues for wide chars.
1564     - remove multibyte_cursor hack (it was a hack) and associated
1565     resources and docs.
1566     - fixed memory corruption bug with XLFD fontname parsing.
1567 pcg 1.58
1568 pcg 1.50 2.0 Sun Feb 29 23:59:58 CET 2004
1569     - do not blink text when background colour is not set explicitly.

1571     - configure cleanup
1572     - viscii enabled by default
1573     - better support for non-g++-3.2+ systems (tested with g++-2.95).
1574 pcg 1.50
1575     1.91 Fri Feb 27 03:57:44 CET 2004
1576     - build fixes for !xft and !im, reported by various people.
1577    
1578 pcg 1.46 1.9 Wed Feb 25 16:46:05 CET 2004
1579 pcg 1.38 - fixed bug in plain scrollbar causing X errors in XCreateGC.
1580 root 1.430 - implemented sharing of X connections. will be used to speed
1581     up many x operations considerably. Also saves some memory.
1582     - implemented caching of input methods. This immensely shortens
1583     startup time for new terms in rxvtd. At least XFree86 4.3 is
1584     rather broken with respect to input methods, though, so expect
1585     crashes when you kill your input method (xterm et al. also crash).
1586     - fix bugs in X flushing, causing an empty screen after startup.
1587     - fix various memleaks in rxvtd.
1588     - fix a bug that kept escape codes to be generated for some
1589     keysyms that also have string translations, when not --enable-xim.
1590     reported by joel reed.
1591     - re-enabled esc-seq. for font-switching (\033 ] 50 ; <fontset> \007).
1592     - re-enabled menubar (experimental!).
1593     - fix bug in locale-handling that kept the correct locale from
1594     being selected.
1595     - implemented esc-seq. to switch locales (\033 ] 9 ; <locale> \007).
1596     - removed greek support.
1597     - allow NUL bytes (ctrl-@) to be entered even with XIM enabled.
1598     - correct cursor width if !focus.
1599     - fixed --enable-xgetdefault, reported by eduard bloch.
1600 root 1.444 - added manpage for rxvtc/rxvtd based on the one eduard bloch
1601 root 1.430 contributed.
1602     - use reverse video for normal bold text unless colorBD has been set.
1603     - fixed endless loop when selection is valid but empty.
1604     - changed default terminal name to "rxvt".
1605     - many other minor bugfixes.
1606 pcg 1.26
1607 pcg 1.25 1.8 Mon Feb 2 20:09:18 CET 2004
1608 pcg 1.19 - almost total conversion to C++. Except for introducing
1609 root 1.430 new bugs, this should not change much.
1610 mikachu 1.1058 - fix and re-enable background pixmap and inherit pixmap support.
1611     - re-enabled multiple scrollbar support.
1612     - added plain scrollbar style and restored xterm scrollbar.
1613 root 1.430 - blinking and selections work slightly better now.
1614     - fix an error condition when rxvt receives more than one screenful
1615     of output. should occur with original rxvt, too, but very rarely.
1616     (I guess the code contains more surprises of this sort...)
1617 pcg 1.19
1618 pcg 1.18 1.7 Fri Jan 30 16:50:11 CET 2004
1619     - further cleanups.
1620 root 1.430 - never do last-minute-changes: restore ability to have
1621     color + bold as high-intensity, and let the selection
1622     use reverse video, not _blink_.
1623     - remove OPTION_HC, at least temporarily. If you want it back,
1624     please drop me a note.
1625 pcg 1.16
1626 pcg 1.15 1.6 Fri Jan 30 00:34:01 CET 2004
1627 pcg 1.14 - cleanups, minor bugfixes.
1628 root 1.430 - blinking text.
1629     - normal text color + bold gets white text instead of
1630     normal text when colorBD is not set.
1631     (- support double-wide characters (by blocking).)
1632     was never implemented
1633 pcg 1.13
1634 pcg 1.10 1.5 Thu Jan 29 00:43:48 CET 2004
1635 pcg 1.7 - share io manager between rxvt-unicode and vpe
1636 root 1.430 - bugfix for --disable-utmp, reported by fefe himself
1637     - colors were sometimes not used correctly because
1638     parts of the code expected a monochrome display.
1639     reported by fefe
1640     - make it compile without pointer_blank, reported by
1641     Markus Demleitner
1642     - improved selection support, now supports UTF8_STRING
1643     and properly encodes CUT_BUFFER0 in iso-8859-1
1644     - completely removed non-working graphics mode
1645 pcg 1.7
1646 pcg 1.5 1.4 Fri Jan 16 23:03:22 CET 2004
1647 pcg 1.6 - fix stupid segfault on esc-c
1648 root 1.430 - small font tunings
1649 root 1.839 - much better io manager, fewer bugs, higher speed
1650 root 1.430 - better error reporting for unknown options
1651 pcg 1.1
1652 pcg 1.2 1.3 2003-12-26
1653 root 1.430 - fix a bug in font height selection
