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

32 root 1.1107
33 root 1.1113 - add shade operator in background perl extension.
34     - avoid starting or ending the selection in the middle of wide
35     characters to avoid artifacts (reproted by Tiago Resende).
36 sf-exg 1.1115 - fix artifacts that may occur if the character in the cursor
37     cell has width > 1 (reported by Tiago Resende).
38 sf-exg 1.1110 - fix regression that causes artifacts on scrolling if
39     saveLines is 0 and the window is resized (reported by Bert
40     Münnich).
41 sf-exg 1.1109 - fix build when perl is enabled and pixbuf and transparency
42     are disabled.
43    
44 root 1.1108 9.16 Thu Dec 27 11:56:43 CET 2012
45 sf-exg 1.1100 - the "so much new stuff your eyes will pop out" release.
46 root 1.1093 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: renamed urlLauncher resource to url-launcher.
47 sf-exg 1.1082 - fix processing of DEC private mode save sequences (patch by Patrick
48     Hemmer).
49 root 1.1104 - perl extensions now have their own manpages, installed as urxvt-NAME(1),
50 root 1.1105 e.g. urxvt-background(1) - see urxvt-extensions(1) for a list.
51 sf-exg 1.1081 - fix disabling of cursor blink with the option-popup menu (based on a
52     patch by Jan Larres).
53 sf-exg 1.1077 - the font height is not augmented anymore when lineSpace is non zero.
54 root 1.1076 - fix "new pagemap" vs. "delete pagemap" mismatch ([] vs. non-[]),
55     as diagnosed by clang.
56 sf-exg 1.1075 - fix height mismatch between active and inactive cursor when
57     lineSpace is non zero (patch by Stanislav Seletskiy).
58 root 1.1078 - make it compile with LOCAL_X_IS_UNIX again (reported by
59     nickfailure@gmail.com).
60 root 1.1098 - completely redone background pixmap support - users can now
61     specify arbitrary expressions (And programs) that calculate
62     new terminal backgrounds. see the urxvt-background manpage
63     for details.
64 sf-exg 1.1099 - xrender is now required for background pixmap support.
65 root 1.1098 - perl extensions can now provide commandline switches and resources
66     which show up in -help etc.
67     - iso14755 51 mode window now displays row and column.
68     - implement a -visual switch and move that and -depth to frills, also
69     warn when we can't get the requested visual.
70     - new env variable: RXVT_PERL_LIB.
71     - allocate all screen memory in one go and let the virtual memory
72     subsystem sort it out. this simplifies code, improves access
73     locality, saves a bit of ram and makes things a bit faster, too.
74     - remove support for libafterimage.
75 root 1.1083 - update to CVS version of libev, for a whopping 11kb size decrease.
76 root 1.1085 - do not ship yet another copy of ecb.h, use the one in libev or
77     libptytty instead.
78 root 1.1087 - selectively mark some methods as cache-hot/cache cold, which
79 sf-exg 1.1088 might speed up execution but definitely decreases codesize.
80 sf-exg 1.1106 - Fix regression that prevented the scrollbar trough color
81     from being applied (reported by Derek B. Noonburg).
82     - Fix the scrollbar size for rxvt style (patch by Mark Robinson).
83 sf-exg 1.1075
84 root 1.1074 9.15 Sat Jan 21 13:36:56 CET 2012
85 root 1.1073 - remove "using namespace std" because clang erroneously
86     thinks thats an error.
87 root 1.1069 - finding a matching font (e.g. bold version of the base font)
88 sf-exg 1.1070 was broken (reported by Eamon Walker).
89 sf-exg 1.1063 - fix parsing of bg image styles. They really work now.
90 sf-exg 1.1064 - fix blurring of bg image borders when using xrender.
91 sf-exg 1.1068 - fix xrender blur on common xrender implementations that do
92     not behave correctly when the same pixmap is used as source
93     and destination in composite operations.
94     - fix regression that caused tabbed to compute the wrong size
95     for tabs.
96 sf-exg 1.1067 - allow again an empty suffix in a keysym list spec (patch by
97     Sung Pae).
98 sf-exg 1.1072 - unsupported support for sun studio's CC added.
99     - fix -C option on solaris.
100 sf-exg 1.1063
101 root 1.1062 9.14 Wed Dec 21 18:40:33 CET 2011
102 sf-exg 1.1052 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: the urxvtd default socket path is now
103     $HOME/.urxvt/urxvtd-<nodename>.
104 mikachu 1.1058 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: the "list" keysym expansion now requires
105     loading of the "keysym-list" perl extension.
106 sf-exg 1.1038 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: A scale value of 0 in the bg image
107     geometry no longer enables tiling, so as to make it possible
108     to disable both scaling and tiling.
109 mikachu 1.1058 - overhaul of the bg image operations. The old operations have
110     been deprecated in favour of elementary operations and
111     styles built on top of the new operations and scale/position
112     settings. (Emanuele Giaquinta).
113     - support for libafterimage is deprecated and will be removed
114     in the next release.
115     - fix a crash caused by selection_check not properly resetting
116     out-of-bounds mark values (can happen when extending a selection
117     while scrolling up in curses programs for example).
118     - do not move the selection when scrolling up and the selection is
119     outside the scrolling region (Emanuele Giaquinta).
120     - fix display of bold bright black (reported by Ben Winslow).
121     - fix memory leak when urgentOnBell is set (patch by Nathaniel
122     Filardo).
123     - fix a redraw bug that occurs when a bg pixmap is set and the
124     wm does not honour the size hints set by urxvt. Now urxvt
125     forces the size of the terminal window to be a multiple of
126     the cell size.
127 sf-exg 1.1034 - sanitise the argument of SD / SU sequences. Fixes a possible
128     crash when the argument is big enough, red hat bug #711137
129     (Emanuele Giaquinta).
130 mikachu 1.1058 - correctly split long lines when scrolling.
131 sf-exg 1.1051 - urxvt now looks for perl extensions also in $HOME/.urxvt/ext.
132     - add bell-command perl extension to execute a command when a
133     bell event occurs (Ryan Kavanagh).
134 sf-exg 1.1055 - add set_urgency perl binding to set/reset the urgency hint.
135 sf-tpope 1.1041 - consume button release event in matcher (exg).
136 sf-tpope 1.1042 - keyboard accessible list of recent matches in matcher
137     (Bob Farrell).
138 sf-exg 1.1043 - properly process 'keysym' sequences in tabbed when using
139     'focus follows mouse' and the focus is on the main window
140     but not on the active terminal window (patch by Martin
141     Pohlack).
142 root 1.1059 - support for the freedesktop startup-notification protocol (patch by
143 mikachu 1.1048 Michael Stapelberg).
144 mikachu 1.1058 - the direction of VPR and VPB commands was reversed.
145 root 1.1059 - fix alignment of inherited root pixmap when it is a different size
146 mikachu 1.1057 than the root window and the terminal window is off the left or top
147     edge (Mikachu).
148 mikachu 1.1061 - make $self visible in "eval perl expression" popup action, also
149     handle exceptions better.
150 sf-exg 1.1060 - fix parsing of '-e' when it occurs as an option argument, such as in
151     'urxvt -title -e' (Emanuele Giaquinta).
152 sf-exg 1.1034
153 root 1.1033 9.12 Wed Jun 29 14:34:28 CEST 2011
154 mikachu 1.1058 - fix regression in processing of SelectionNotify events.
155     urxvt would fail to request a selection if the owner did not
156     support the UTF8_STRING target.
157     - fix rendering of double width chars in certain circumstances, more
158     likely to happen if urxvt is compiled with 256 colors support as
159 root 1.1103 urxvt runs out of fonts much earlier then. Fixes gentoo bug #358151
160 mikachu 1.1058 (Emanuele Giaquinta).
161     - restore support for 'list' syntax in keysym resources (requested by Sung Pae).
162 root 1.1028 - always premultiply colour values - while this increases differences between
163 mikachu 1.1058 core fonts and xft, it is "more correct" in practical situations.
164     - disable PTYTTY_REENTRANT option - not needed for urxvt and saves a bit of code.
165     - remove lucidatypewriter from the list of fallback fonts, it was the only
166     non-xft non-cellfont in the list anyway.
167 sf-exg 1.1026
168 sf-exg 1.1025 9.11 Mon May 2 10:34:46 CEST 2011
169 mikachu 1.1058 - fix compilation on GNU/Hurd, debian bug #624736.
170     - remove 'list' syntax for keysym resources, as it serves no useful purpose.
171     If you need it, poke us and provide a use case.
172     - fix alpha channel support. Premultiply alpha in colours if the visual
173     supports an alpha channel, as xrender expects premultiplied alpha
174     (Emanuele Giaquinta).
175     - fix reply to a selection request sent by an obsolete client
176     such as syncterm (patch by Marcin Cieslak).
177 sf-exg 1.1019 - fix crash when the window is resized and the overlay is active
178     (Emanuele Giaquinta, reported by Ryan Kavanagh).
179 mikachu 1.1058 - match character-wise rather than byte-wise in selection
180     extension again. perl 5.8.9+ is required to avoid extreme
181     slowdowns. Fixes debian bugs #523072, #616463.
182     - fix a possible crash if the INCR transfer process for a
183     selection property timeouts and at least one chunk is
184     received. (Emanuele Giaquinta)
185 sf-exg 1.1020 - work around a memory corruption bug in xorg's XrmSetDatabase (apparently
186 mikachu 1.1058 broken since http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/xorg-commit-diffs/2004-March/000239.html).
187     - fix memory corruption bug when custom command sequences bound to keys
188     were injected into an already-full pty input buffer.
189     - gdk-pixbuf is autodetected by default and preferred over libafterimage.
190     - do not prepend a newline to the selection text when the starting line
191     of the selection is not highlighted (Emanuele Giaquinta).
192 root 1.988 - don't swap perl env with real env, save and restore it, just in case
193 mikachu 1.1058 we ever get recursive perl invocations. also saves a bit of codespace
194     with gcc.
195     - fix various memory leaks (Emanuele Giaquinta).
196     - fix typo in kIC terminfo capability, debian bug #446444.
197     - document 'thickness' resource.
198     - fix debian bug #504817, to the extent possible.
199 sf-exg 1.1014 - try to detect byte order at compile time, saves a couple of
200 mikachu 1.1058 hundred bytes, if your compiler is smart enough.
201     - add support for previewing the pasted data in confirm-paste
202     (Emanuele Giaquinta).
203     - added "newlines to spaces" option in selection-popup.
204     - actually enabled solaris event ports backend (was disabled by accident).
205     - revert to 38400 baud max., mission accomplished.
206     - no longer create scary "pty_fill: PLEASE REPORT" message, instead,
207     silently drain the input (problem is well understood now).
208     - no longer swallow rob nation's own graphics mode commands.
209 root 1.988
210 root 1.987 9.10 Mon Dec 13 17:43:52 CET 2010
211 root 1.990 - the "schmorp=north korea dickey=south korea" release.
212 mikachu 1.1058 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: make OSC 20 simpler and more correct
213     (Emanuele Giaquinta).
214 root 1.982 - if options were compiled out, this could lead to the option
215 mikachu 1.1058 count to be defined wrongly. This is likely behind the
216     failures with gcc 4.5.
217     - explicitly depend on fontconfig and xrender when xft support
218     is enabled. Although the public Xft api uses types from
219     both, in Xft 2.2.0 these libs are private
220     dependencies only thanks to an idiotic behaviour of
221     pkg-config that was added to workaround cases like this one.
222     Fixes linking when using GNU ld with --as-needed or GNU gold
223     (based on patch by Jan Palus).
224     - fix minor memory leaks in urxvt and urxvtd.
225     - fix regression in urxvtd that prevented options from being correctly
226     set (reported by Michal Vaner).
227 sf-exg 1.978 - implement xterm's horribly broken 1005 mouse reporting mode,
228 mikachu 1.1058 and an alternative 1015 mode that works in non-utf-8 locales
229     and has fewer limitations.
230 sf-exg 1.977 - fix a possible bug where mouse notifications didn't work after
231 mikachu 1.1058 startup for the upper left corner.
232     - implement our own pixbuf to pixmap rendering to get rid of
233     dependency on buggy gdk-pixbuf-xlib. Only truecolor visuals
234     are supported (Emanuele Giaquinta).
235     - apply tinting before shading when both operations are requested.
236     Previously they were intermixed when lightening and the result
237     was inaccurate and confusing. Note that now a black tint yields a
238     completely black image, regardless of shading (Emanuele Giaquinta).
239     - avoid spurious redraws of the bg image when bg is transparent or
240     when using 'root' mode (Emanuele Giaquinta).
241     - fix build on XFree86.
242     - dynamically number options according to compiletime requirements.
243     For the extra saved byte. Or so. Yay.
244     - start options at one, not zero. Wastes a bit per terminal. Maybe.
245     saves 50 instruction bytes. Possibly.
246 sf-exg 1.975
247 root 1.974 9.09 Sat Nov 13 01:39:07 CET 2010
248     - NOTICE: this release updates terminfo/termcap.
249     - the bestest release ever.
250 mikachu 1.1058 - it was verified that urxvt handles µ and μ correctly.
251 sf-exg 1.961 - add support for blending and blurring with XRender (Emanuele Giaquinta).
252     - add support for using gdk-pixbuf as image backend (Emanuele Giaquinta).
253 root 1.974 - cleanup and minor fixes of the image code (Emanuele Giaquinta).
254 sf-exg 1.957 - new perl extension "confirm-paste" (Emanuele Giaquinta).
255 sf-exg 1.955 - new on_tt_paste perl hook and tt_paste perl binding (Emanuele Giaquinta).
256 sf-exg 1.959 - new on_bell perl hook (Emanuele Giaquinta).
257     - searchable-scrollback no longer ignores the first line
258     (Emanuele Giaquinta).
259 sf-exg 1.972 - properly set VSTATUS in termios for *BSD (reported by Ed Schouten).
260 sf-exg 1.954 - fix utmpx detection on upcoming FreeBSD 9.
261 sf-exg 1.953 - Use COMPOUND_TEXT encoding for WM_NAME/WM_ICON_NAME value when it
262     is not fully convertible to STRING (patch by James Cloos).
263 mikachu 1.1058 - fix a buffer overflow that would cause wrong key sequences to
264     be generated for numpad keys (introduced in 9.05).
265     - fix definition of sgr0 to work around limitations in luit.
266 root 1.947 - extend ISO 14755 5.4 mode to also print the font name of the
267     characters other than first one in the selected cell
268     (Emanuele Giaquinta).
269     - new iso14755 option to disable ISO 14755 at runtime
270 mikachu 1.1058 (Emanuele Giaquinta).
271 root 1.947 - make sure pagewise scrolling scrolls at least one line
272 mikachu 1.1058 (found by Mikachu).
273 sf-exg 1.956 - remove deprecated OSC 18 / 19 and make OSC 17 / 19 apply to
274     highlightColor / highlightTextColor (Emanuele Giaquinta).
275 sf-exg 1.945 - add highlightTextColor resource to change the foreground colour of
276 sf-exg 1.956 highlighted characters (Emanuele Giaquinta).
277 sf-exg 1.945 - make highlightColor apply also to selected cells with reverse video
278 sf-exg 1.956 but not to non selected cells with reverse video (Emanuele Giaquinta).
279 sf-exg 1.945 - remove colorRV resource (it was enabled only with frills off).
280 root 1.941 - fix numlock handling, the most longstanding bug to date (Emanuele Giaquinta).
281 mikachu 1.1058 - reduce the number of custom bits to 4, to make room
282     for 256 colours.
283 sf-exg 1.959 - add support for 256 colors (Emanuele Giaquinta, Marc Lehmann).
284 mikachu 1.1058 - add rxvt-unicode-256color terminfo and use it by default in 256 colors mode.
285     - update rxvt-unicode terminfo to state 7744 colour pairs to cover all
286     88*88 possible pairs.
287     - actually added macosx-clipboard-native, which should have been in
288     the 9.07 release but had been forgotten.
289     - fix hang if DECAWM is not set and there are not enough columns to insert a
290     character (Emanuele Giaquinta).
291     - cub1 ("backspace") will now respect wrapping when past the rightmost column,
292     working around a shortcoming of most tty line discipline's line editing.
293 sf-exg 1.935 - add support for grabbing the clipboard selection and extend
294     selection{_clear,_grab,} perl bindings to optionally work
295     on the clipboard selection (based on patch by Dana Jansens).
296 mikachu 1.1058 - no longer force CERASE to BACKSPACE - use the system default. affects
297     default value for VERASE only when no compatible setting for
298     backspacekey was given.
299     - use higher than 38400 baudrate setting, if detected.
300     - erase screen would clear to the wrong background when blinking
301     was enabled (which selects high intensity under some circumstances).
302     - scr_kill_char didn't touch the line.
303     - upgrade and port to libev-4.01.
304     - enabled solaris event ports and kqueue backends (if available).
305 sf-exg 1.930
306 root 1.928 9.07 Wed Dec 30 07:07:18 CET 2009
307 root 1.916 - port to glibc-2.10 changes (strchr etc. returning const char *
308 mikachu 1.1058 in C++), based on patches by Milos Jakubicek and Oliver Mader.
309     - the binary search algorithm to find precomposed characters
310     was faulty, skipping some possible combinations (found by
311     Mikachu).
312     - new -letterspace option, patch by Mark H. Wilkinson.
313 root 1.910 - enable --mlock option for urxvt with frills on
314 mikachu 1.1058 systems supporting it (patch by Russell Harmon).
315 root 1.908 - urxvt did not compile without frills enabled
316 mikachu 1.1058 (analysed by Matthew Rosewarne).
317     - correctly reset the mbstate after an illegal
318     input sequence when handling terminal output (Emanuele Giaquinta).
319     - avoid redrawing wide characters with combining enabled on every
320     refresh (reported by Mikachu).
321     - fix a typo preventing the ISO-646.1991 character set from being
322     recognized (http://achurch.org/patch-pile/).
323     - better warning for x11 font encoding detection failures, also,
324     try to deduce encoding from both font properties and name
325     (adapted from http://achurch.org/patch-pile/).
326     - resizing the window with the scrollbar disabled via the escapes
327     sequence could make the window bigger again (Mikachu).
328     - make sure the alignment for fd passing control messages
329     is correct and work around some NetBSD issues (Taylor R Campbell).
330     - update to libptytty 1.3.
331     - replace macosx-clipboard by a nicer version by Reza Jelveh, and move
332     the old version to macosx-clipboard-native.
333     - document the -uc option (Emanuele Giaquinta).
334     - assertions in libev are now enabled depending on frills.
335     - update AnyEvent implementation to version 5.23 API.
336     - work around arrogant bsd idiocies again: netbsd spills the default
337     namespace with lots of symbols "for gnu/gcc compatibility" even
338     though neither of them does it, and then calls the rest of the world
339     in need of fixing. go figure.
340     - on_keyboard_command is on_user_command (patch by Michael Witten).
341     - setting the selection from perl will now reset the selection screen
342     to the current screen. the screen can be manipulated using
343     the new ->selection_screen method.
344     - implement --enable-assert configure option and get rid of DEBUG_STRICT
345     (based on patch by Emanuele Giaquinta).
346     - fix printpipe data output (patch by Emanuele Giaquinta).
347     - allow `xxx' quoting style for perl selection.
348     - upgrade to libev-3.9 prerelease.

358     - fix an issue where wide tab characters caused character shifts
359     when part of them was deleted (tracked down by Miroslav Lichvar).
360     - artificially enlargen the previous character at the end of a line
361     when trying to output a character that doesn't fit. looks ugly, but
362     makes copy&paste work.

369 mikachu 1.1058 - fix build issue when CURSOR_BLINK is not defined (Emanuele Giaquinta).
370     - do some µ-optimisations to the character fast path.
371     - use a less cunning, but more robust algorithm to avoid one terminal
372     monopolising the whole process by outputting a lot of text.
373     - try to work around linux first breaking sched_yield and now breaking
374     the only known workaround.
375     - new option -icon to set _NET_WM_ICON (based on patch by Frank Schmitt).
376     - initialise the as visual only on demand, instead of unconditionally,
377     to save memory in the common case of not using visual gimmicks.

404 root 1.861 - correctly reset the multibyte state to the initial one
405 mikachu 1.1058 after EILSEQ (patch by Neil Booth). This fixes the

407     sequence on NetBSD and probably other systems.

436     instead of sitting on them for good measure to see if anybody notices).

439 root 1.839 - implement bracketed paste mode (xterm private mode 2004).
440 mikachu 1.1058 - improve documentation on alpha channel handling, make urxvt

442     channels or background images are used.

491     seems to be broken everywhere else w.r.t. ptys.
492     - allow for spurious event notifications, as at least epoll and
493     especially solaris ports like to lie about them (symptoms:
494     urxvt "hangs" until there is some x11 related activity).
495     - -keysym command line options are now subjected to xlib parsing.

551     - unbundled iom perl interface somewhat.
552     - scrollbar-xterm now uses the selected scrollColor instead of fg
553     (found by Aiviru).
554     - disabled linux kernel bug workaround again: disabling it gives
555     a 50% speed hit on affected machines, while enabling it gives
556     a similar speed hit to screen, which is likely the more common
557     case to work around for :/
558     - urxvt::rend2mask perl function, and utilization of it by matcher
559     (patch by Moshe Kamensky).
560     - use perl:matcher on a keysym to open most recently displayed URL.
561     - with matcher, when multiple patterns match, last wins, not first.

563     - updated bundled libptytty to fix a bug where the tty would be kept
564     open (see the libptytty ChangeLog for details).

572     - when !XFT, change rounding of colours to use a less correct formula to
573     meet user expectancies (#aaa becomes #a000a000a000 not #9f9f9f9f9f9f).
574     - change the starting offset of the pixmap set with backgroundPixmap
575     from (50,50) to (0,0) (exg).

585     - $term->strwidth returned wide chars as width 1, because some jerk

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

678     improve size hint setting.
679     - modified XIM according to a patch sent by Takano Akio that sets
680     the preedit rectangle for OverTheSpot, which helps some input methods
681     to correctly position their preedit window.
682     - un-optimise the line clearing on newly scrolled-in lines a bit: the
683     former reasoning was that any fg colour on default bg looks the same
684     in empty spaces, but that's not true when reversing (e.g. selection),
685     so also check for matching fg colours. This fixes the problem where
686     selecting newly scrolled-in lines would exhibit wrong colours.
687     - fix a bug in the perl interface causing focus in events to generate
688     focus out perl events, causing bad focus effects with -pe tabbed.
689     - fix a race resulting in a crash on exiting.
690     - fix a with --disable-xft that caused xfreecolors to be called on

708     selection-autotransform can now be disabled/enabled at runtime.
709     - forcing a configure event to tabbed subwindows with -pe tabbed, for
710     the benefit of automove-background.
711     - the automove-background extension added a wrong constant offset.
712     - force refresh of XA_RESOURCE_STRING on virtual reconnect.
713     - return exit status 2 in urxvtc when urxvtd couldn't be contacted.
714     - the linux yield hack is back, now using usleep, and enabled only on
715     __linux__.
716     - further round trip eliminations in the !XFT case by remembering
717     the colour components.
718     - plain scrollbar works better with -sr.
719     - fixed half-shadow scrollbar look.
720     - more colour rtt optimisations.

727 mikachu 1.1058 - further improvements to the careful mode detection, and font width
728     detection:
729     - fully double-wide fonts will now be correctly treated,
730     - overlap detection was improved.
731     - detect totally broken fonts (usually synthesized by xft).
732     - careful mode forced refresh sometimes clashed with blinking,
733     causing unnecessary screen redraws.
734     - better handling of XFT combining characters.
735     - enable antialiasing for some replacement fonts, as they
736     might get used for other encodings which really need it, later.
737     - remove spacing=100 from all default fonts, as this creates totally
738     weird spacing (5 times normal) with xft.
739     - removed iso10646 fallback, as xorgs iso10646 encoded fonts are mostly
740     broken.
741     - removed gnu unifont fallback, all combining characters are broken.
742     - replace named colours by xorg's rgb.txt equivalents, to
743     reduce round trip time on startup, and short-cut allocation
744     of rgb:rr/gg/bb for xft.
745     - short-cut allocation of rgb values in the xlib case
746     (patch by Paco-Paco).
747     - overhauled color management: smaller codesize, alpha support.
748     - support "rgba:rrrr/gggg/bbbb/aaaa" color specifications and
749     an "[alpha]" prefix.
750     - try to work around Xft and Xrender forcing everything to be 100%
751     transparent. Long Live Xft!
752     - do not include X11/Intrinsic.h anymore, directly use
753     Xlib/Xutil/Xresource directly.
754     - try to find a nearest matching color when color allocation fails
755     on a pseudocolor screen.

778     - moved Shift-Button2 paste combination to Meta-Button2.
779     - the cutchars resource will now be respected and used by the
780     selection extension.
781     - added the "remote-clipboard" extension which just runs external
782     commands to fetch and store the selection data.
783     - added -depth switch that tries to get a different visual depth
784     than the default (replaces the old PREFER_24_BIT logic).
785     - removed (unused) arabic presentation form composing sequences.
786     - be more strict when deciding that a core font glyph is too wide and
787     needs the careful rendering mode.
788     - allow more leeway for italic fonts when deciding that a character is
789     too wide and needs careful mode.
790     - redraw even more characters around characters using careful mode.
791     - made selection-pastebin fully asynchronous.
792     - reduced number of server turnarounds at startup by allocating
793     atoms only once per display.

800     environments necessary, which resulted in segfaults within
801     getenv (reproducible: urxvt -fn 9x15, open a menu once,
802     ctrl-shift-672c).
803     - bugfix: the selection speedup in in 7.1 unfortunately caused
804     non-ascii characters to enlarge/move the selection.
805     - bugfix: resizing sometimes leaked lines from the secondary to
806     the primary screen.
807     - bugfix: reducing window size while large amounts of text were output
808     could lead to an assertion failure.
809     - added "tabbed" extension that provides a crude tabbed terminal.
810     - added "readline" extension that allows cursor positioning
811     via mouse clicks.
812 root 1.556 - now it is possible to insert the value of the CLIPBOARD selection

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

827 mikachu 1.1058 - setuid/setgid operation is now _encouraged_: security has been
828     improved by moving privileged operations into a separate process
829     and permanently dropping privileges within the terminal. This
830     makes it possible to remove security checks from the perl code
831     and gives a much safer feeling when urxvt needs to run with
832     special privileges.
833     - perl taint checking disabled, as urxvt no longer runs setuid/setgid
834     itself.
835     - new perl extension automove-background that can be used to get
836     the same effect as pseudo-transparency with any pixmap.
837     - new perl extension example: perl/selection-pastebin, can be used to
838     e.g. upload the selection to a webserver and generate a url, or
839     similar stuff.
840 root 1.521 - use the scrollback buffer even when the scroll region doesn't

845     code was O(n²), which equals infinity in some degenerate cases
846     :-> Matching is now done on UTF-8, which makes it almost instant.
847     - perl/selection, perl/selection-autotransform: regexes are now
848     being interpreted in the locale urxvt was started.
849     - implemented override-redirect option and enabled it on menus,
850     as kwin puts our windows behind the terminal (what a shoddy wm).
851     - fixed struct utmp check in configure for OpenBSD.
852     - complete overhaul of the pty/utmp management stuff and configure
853     (Emanuele Giaquinta=exg).

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

872     option-popup extensions enabled by default.
873     - increased xft drawing speed for problematic fonts. The effect
874     will likely be small as 99% of the xft slowness is server-related.
875     - perl: much increased functionality, better overlays, popup support
876     and much much more.
877     - perl: urxvt::line now can set via ->t and ->r.
878     - perl: changed interpretation of --perl-ext-common and -pe.
879     - perl: finally implemented --perl-eval.
880     - perl: non-blocking anyevent support.
881     - perl: run tainted and ignore perl-eval/perl-lib if started
882     setuid/setgid.
883     - free the resource database: this plugs a massive memory leak. As a
884     side effect, it also gets rid of XGetDefault calls.
885     - free one of the cursors, fixes a small memory leak.
886     - built-in (as opposed to terminfos) visual bell was broken/too fast.
887     - applied minor cleanups by Ladislav Michnovic.
888     - applied pty handling cleanups and improvements (Emanuele Giaquinta).
889     - mark-urls launch-on-click by jepler.

891     compatible, and not really small either.
892     - removed PATH_ENV and PATH file search support.
893     - removed support for locale-specific app-defaults file.
894     - fixed a bug where out-of-bounds colour sequences could lead

902 mikachu 1.1058 - SECURITY FIX: on systems using openpty, permissions were
903     not correctly updated on the tty device and were left as
904     world-readable and world-writable (likely in original rxvt,
905     too), and were not restored properly. Affected are only
906     systems where non-unix ptys were used (such as most BSDs, not
907     GNU/Linux). (found, patched and debugged by Ryan Beasley).
908     - meta8 support was forcefully enabled in most configurations.
909     restored configurability of this (useless) feature (reported
910     by Mikachu).
911     - optionally embed a perl interpreter, which can be used for more
912     intelligent/customized selection support, visual feedback,
913     menus, tabs etc. See the the urxvtperl manpage, the -pe option,
914     perl*-resources and keysym resources. Not everything is there yet.
915     - try to be more clever about differing font sizes and their ascent.
916     Not guaranteed to work, but works better in most cases now.
917     - fix directory permissions on install.
918     - implemented option to disable built-in line drawing characters
919     and fall back to the font ones (patch by Martin Pohlack).
920     - disabled sched_yield support: the linux version is just too useless
921     (it schedules nice'd processes before the own one for extended
922     periods). Too bad, it could reduce system time by a factor of 5 here.

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

945     - lines newly scrolled in were not initialized properly, leading
946     to extremely long lines and (hopefully) some segfaults.
947     - iso14755 overlay position was wrong.
948     - iso14755 overlay now displays rendition info, too.
949     - use unicode white space class instead of hardcoded values for
950     stripping whitespace.
951     - do whitespace stripping on rectangular selections.
952     - slight cleanups in src/features.h.
953 root 1.452

960     (see http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=84647 for a
961     partial patch).
962     - bump max columns/rows to 10000 each.
963     - bump max savelines to 10000000.
964     - -pty-fd now passes the urxvtc fd to the urxvtd process.
965     - avoid linking against -lnsl/-lsocket/-lxpg4 unless necessary.
966     - major code cleanup (still not complete, though).
967     - implement -hold option.
968     - _major_ rewrite of internal buffer handling:

973 mikachu 1.1058 - considerably improved code clarity.

975     buffer.

981     - fix small typoe in rxvt.1 (found by Mike Fabian).

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

1008     even know about the -rootless and -multiwindow Cygwin/X modes).

1017 sf-exg 1.1035 - font names are now considered to be utf-8 encoded (xft apparently
1018 root 1.430 uses this convention. X Core fonts might not, but it should be rare).
1019     Affects display in iso14755 box.
1020     - rewrote the low-level xft drawing function ("xft backend" for the
1021     hipper parts of the world) to hopefully cope better with proportional
1022     chars mixed with fixed-width ones.
1023     - rxvt is now much more careful (read: slower) with potentially
1024     overlapping xft characters. It usually overshoots and redraws
1025     more than required, but that's better than undershooting and
1026     cutting pieces off of characters.
1027     - rxvt is now more restrictive in what font heights it accepts for
1028     fonts that will likely overshoot or undershoot lines.
1029     - fix a cosmetic problem with the unfocused cursor on a wide character
1030     at the end of the line (reported by Mikachu).

1275     causes any harm (specially with pointerblanking)
1276     (patch by Kuang-che Wu).
1277     - send the input method spot position on every refresh, not just

1279     - fix double-wide combining characters (it might look a bit ugly,
1280     though, but common cases are handled by normalization anyways).
1281     - moved FAQ to rxvt(7), also made a copy into README.FAQ.
1282     - fix a bug(?) in the XIM destroy callback.
1283     - be more conservative when trying to register new input methods,
1284     as Xlib races might make rxvt crash. When two or more
1285     input methods are active, killing one probably still crashes rxvt
1286     due to that bug :( Thanks a lot to Kuang-che Wu for immense help

1305     - fixed a long-standing rxvt bug in which rxvt failed to save

1307     - reworked rxvt-unicode terminfo to allow more efficient and less flickering
1308     screen updates with curses.
1309     - wide characters that are being halfway overwritten are now replaced
1310     by spaces.
1311     - urxvtc now transmits urxvt as default name, not urxvtc anymore
1312     (likewise for other names chosen at configure time).
1313     - disabled the automatic font lookup for unknown characters. xft
1314     is just too slow for this to work.
1315     - changed realbold code, implemented _real_ bold and italic support,
1316     where _real_ means the symbiosis of what I want with what I can
1317     implement. use --enable-styles.
1318     - removed 256 color mode, but enable 88 colours in all modes
1319     (88 to be compatible with 88 colour xterm which is widely
1320     supported, and most programs assume a non-iso colourtable
1321     for terminals with "odd" number of colours).
1322     - added doc/etc/rxvt-unicode.terminfo which is a big overhaul
1323     compared to the old rxvt terminfo.
1324 root 1.236 - sped up xft rendering by 30% *iff* the font allows it (i.e. is
1325 root 1.430 monospaced "enough") *and* matches the base font in width.
1326     - implement positive and negative character-font caching, which
1327     speeds up output immensely in case a character cannot be found
1328     (only for non-bold right now).
1329     - fix segfault in fading code on certain escape sequences.
1330     - better default font size and style.
1331     - rxvt-unicode is now much more picky about fonts not fitting
1332     into the base font, but to offset this it will check each
1333     single character against the base font extents and will only
1334     use the characters fitting into the bounding box (+ some fudge).
1335     - characters not fitting into the base boundary box will now often
1336     be used anyways, but the following characters will be redrawn
1337     more often to avoid pixel-droppings. This is like the original
1338     rxvt pixel-dropping pass but it's much faster.
1339     - scrollColor now affects plain scrollbar (Mikael Magnusson).
1340     - fixed segfault in overlay code when height was larger than the
1341     screen height.
1342     - cursor no longer shines "through" the overlay.
1343     - 7-bit ST marker detection was broken.
1344     - scrollbar didn't come back sometimes when switching it
1345     off/on using escape sequences (Mikael Magnusson).
1346     - fix lots of colour problems with focus fading.
1347     - $COLORFGBG was not set as documented.
1348     - fix iso 14755 5.1 support when --enable-frills but --disable-iso14755.

1357 root 1.194 - fix OverTheSpot and OffTheSpot editing, which was broken since ages,
1358 root 1.430 due to no fontset being available. The fontset used is a very rough
1359     approximation to the rxvt font, though. This fixes the
1360     "cannot create input context" in most cases.
1361     - fix coordinates used for Over && OffTheSpot editing to fit directly
1362     at the cursor (Over) or into the top line (Off).
1363     - reset SIGHUP and SIGPIPE handlers to default values (they were
1364 sf-exg 1.1035 previously being ignored, causing programs not to exit on window
1365 root 1.430 close).
1366     - implemented simple overlays for feedback messages. believe it or

1373     #202497). This is _not_ a bug in rxvt but rather a race
1374     condition in other programs (e.g. jed). It works by forcefully
1375     sending SIGWINCH when rxvt sees the first output from the
1376     command. This workaround isn't perfect (a slight cost to
1377     wellbehaving programs who need to resize twice), but it usually
1378     works.

1387     - fixed printscreen functionality, as noted by Jinesh Choksi.

1415     find a matching font from the fallback list. It might look ugly,
1416     but if a xft font with our character exists, rxvt will find it.
1417     - moved FreeMono to the very back of the fallback list, as some

1419     - fixed sourceforge bug 998970, reported against aterm:

1485 root 1.430 as opposed to \010 as before, which was incorrect (ahem :).
1486     - updated doc/etc/rxvt.* to reflect the change. This brings rxvt

1490 root 1.430 (reported by elmex).
1491     - find more fonts by default for japanese.

1517     - don't leave the X or rxvtd sockets open in child processes.
1518     (inherited fd's stay open - different to rxvt).

1520     an extension and is slightly ugly.
1521 pcg 1.108 - removed --disable-swapscreen and SCROLL_ON_NO_SECONDARY and
1522 root 1.430 replaced them by runtime-configurable options secondaryScreen and
1523     secondaryScroll (-ssr and -ssc) (see debian bug #237673).

1537     window colour when arg is "?".
1538     - enable colour tinting of "transparent" backgrounds.
1539     - stop ST sequences earlier, as we now react on 0x90 and thus
1540     cause conditions more often that look like locks but are, in
1541     fact, just rxvt waiting for a ST/BEL etc.
1542     - re-enabled most of the "dangerous" echo escapes, but only
1543     when -insecure is specified as option or resource (see reference).
1544     (FRILLS).
1545     - disables sleep(1) on transparency updates on default.

1589 root 1.430 - a typoe prevented characters >65535 to be stored properly.

1594     --disable-xgetdefault.

1606     - added plain "big5" encoding into CN.
1607     - make cns11643 and big5* encodings actually visible to rxvt.

1631 root 1.430 - implemented sharing of X connections. will be used to speed
1632     up many x operations considerably. Also saves some memory.
1633     - implemented caching of input methods. This immensely shortens
1634     startup time for new terms in rxvtd. At least XFree86 4.3 is
1635     rather broken with respect to input methods, though, so expect

1637     - fix bugs in X flushing, causing an empty screen after startup.
1638     - fix various memleaks in rxvtd.

1645     being selected.
1646     - implemented esc-seq. to switch locales (\033 ] 9 ; <locale> \007).
1647     - removed greek support.
1648     - allow NUL bytes (ctrl-@) to be entered even with XIM enabled.
1649     - correct cursor width if !focus.
1650     - fixed --enable-xgetdefault, reported by eduard bloch.
1651 root 1.444 - added manpage for rxvtc/rxvtd based on the one eduard bloch
1652 root 1.430 contributed.
1653     - use reverse video for normal bold text unless colorBD has been set.

1663     - added plain scrollbar style and restored xterm scrollbar.
1664 root 1.430 - blinking and selections work slightly better now.
1665     - fix an error condition when rxvt receives more than one screenful
1666     of output. should occur with original rxvt, too, but very rarely.
1667     (I guess the code contains more surprises of this sort...)
1668 pcg 1.19

1670     - further cleanups.
1671 root 1.430 - never do last-minute-changes: restore ability to have
1672     color + bold as high-intensity, and let the selection
1673     use reverse video, not _blink_.
1674     - remove OPTION_HC, at least temporarily. If you want it back,
