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.

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

54     TODO:
55     03:32:26 <BlueFish> Hi. I think I found a bug in special_encode in rxvtperl.xs
56     03:33:37 <BlueFish> special_encode('لا') or any other string that contains 'لا' returns a disturbed string
57     03:33:40 <schmorp> hi BlueFish
58     03:34:10 <schmorp> whats a disturbed string?
59     03:34:25 <BlueFish> for example سلام becomes ملام
60     03:35:05 <BlueFish> see this issue: https://github.com/mkamensky/Text-Bidi/issues/10 I was trying to fix it
61     and after playing around for a while found out that special_encode is causing the problem
62     03:35:36 <schmorp> does this happen when you compile without --enable-combining (or with --disable-combining)?
63     03:37:40 <BlueFish> I don't know the one that I installed from my distro repository has this flag or not. Is
64     there anyway to check?
65     03:38:49 <schmorp> rxvt --help will output a options: line at the top, whioch will list "combining"
66     03:39:10 <schmorp> anyway, I don't think i will understand this at my current tiredness level, I'll have a
67     look when I have time
68     03:39:26 <schmorp> are you usually around on this network, so I coulöd ask you in cas eI have questions?
69     03:40:25 <BlueFish> yes combining is enabled. No I don't check IRC that much. You can reach me via email
70     03:40:44 <schmorp> ok, thats fine
71     03:40:40 <BlueFish> avestasabayemoghadam@gmail.com
72    
73 root 1.1284 - implement a fix for CVE-2022-4170 (reported and analyzed by David Leadbeater).
74     While present in version 9.30, it should not be exploitable. It is exploitable
75     in versions 9.25 and 9.26, at least, and allows anybody controlling terminal
76     input to execute arbitrary code in the urxvt process.
77 root 1.1280 - the background extension no longer requires off focus fading support
78     to be compiled in.
79 sf-exg 1.1282 - fix compiling without frills.
80     - fix rewrapMode: never.
81     - fix regression that caused urxvt to no longer emit responses
82     to OSC color queries other than OSC 4 ones.
83 sf-exg 1.1283 - fix regression that caused urxvt to no longer process OSC 705.
84 root 1.1284 - exec_async (used e.g. by the matcher extension to spawn processes) now
85     sets the URXVT_EXT_WINDOWID variable to the window id opf the terminal.
86 root 1.1280
87 root 1.1278 9.30 Sat 27 Nov 2021 21:07:09 CET
88     - the background extension did not initialise properly when automatically
89 root 1.1277 loaded via the OSC.
90     - new "on_attach" hook type implemented, to initialise late-loading
91     extensions.
92    
93 root 1.1276 9.29 Mon 22 Nov 2021 18:07:14 CET
94     - libptytty (http://dist.schmorp.de/libptytty/) is now a required
95     external dependency.
96 root 1.1263 - enable confirm-paste extension by default, can be disabled by e.g.
97     URxvt.perl-ext: -confirm-paste
98 sf-exg 1.1257 - Key bindings specified with the -keysym option or with resources of
99     the form URxvt*keysym work again. Such resources, as opposed to
100     resources of the form URxvt.keysym, were not officially allowed but
101     accepted, so ignoring them is considered a regression.
102 root 1.1253 - new option/resource -rm/rewrapMode, which sets the line rewrap
103     mode to auto, never or always.
104     - new option/resource -dpb/disablePasteBrackets, which can be used to
105     disable bracketed paste mode sequences, as more and more programs
106     abuse these sequences (typically in the name of security, but these
107 root 1.1255 sequences are not improving security). Also, bracketed paste mode
108     is now under frills.
109 root 1.1269 - add manpage for urclock.
110 root 1.1267 - confirm-paste wrongly considered brackets as ctrlchars (patch by
111     Jakub Wilk, debian bug #995244).
112 root 1.1245 - if urxvt cannot detect a good estimate for font width (because a font does
113 root 1.1250 not contain latin characters at all for example), it will now fall
114 sf-exg 1.1249 back to xft's max_advance_width, which works well with some fonts. It
115 root 1.1245 currently will warn about this.
116 root 1.1239 - do not render variation selectors in the default font as boxes, treat
117     them as zero-width characters.
118 root 1.1248 - change combining character architecture to allow fonts to handle
119     combining sequences on their own. This could allow future renderers
120     to be more intelligent about these sequences.
121     - use the previous enhancement to allow unicode characters outside of the
122     BMP to be rendered even without --enable-unicode3, as long as an
123     xft with the character is configured.
124     It's recommended to stay with disabled unicode3 even more now.
125     - freetype/xft have been verified to return nonsensical offsets for
126     combining characters. urxvt tries to compensate to some extent,
127     but diacritics will be slightly off in many cases, and far off in
128     some cases (e.g. input mono).
129 root 1.1254 - when checking for overlap/careful handling, take non-basefont
130     character shifts into account.
131 root 1.1263 - extensions can now request autoloading on OSC and Perl OSC sequences,
132     implement this for the background, clipboard-osc and overlay-osc
133     extensions.
134     - the background extension will now be autoloaded when the OSC 20 or 705
135     sequence is received.
136 root 1.1274 - added OSC 776 sequence to return character cell width, height and font
137     ascent, which is useful when using urxvt as slave to calculate window
138     size form or to row/column count.
139 root 1.1275 - matcher extension documentation now points out some requirements for
140     regular expressions. the default url matching regex will now try
141     to match IRLs in addition to URLs.
142 root 1.1263 - The view_start perl method now scrolls to the bottom also when the
143     argument is greater than 0.
144     - eval scroll actions now scroll to the bottom when scrolling down and
145     there are less lines to scroll than the ones requested (reported by
146     Stephen Talley).
147 root 1.1236 - allow perl-ext and perl-ext-common to override autoloaded extensions.
148 sf-exg 1.1237 this allows tabbed to disable itself in subtabs, avoiding recursive
149 root 1.1236 loading.
150 root 1.1242 - update precompose table to unicode 13.0.
151 root 1.1241 - update charset conversion tables to perl 5.32 (this only affected
152     cs_koi8_u_from_unicode).
153 root 1.1244 - unicode characters > 0x100000 were not handled correctly w.r.t.
154     font rendering.
155 root 1.1252 - replace bitstream vera by dejavu sans, as it has replaced the former
156     almost everywhere.
157 root 1.1266 - urxvt will now try tic -x first and only fall back to tic without -x
158     when tic -x fails.
159 root 1.1270 - fix urclock not erasing the old date on the clock face, causing
160     overdraw, plus a host of other small fixes and improvements.
161 root 1.1261 - shave off over 1K of code size from urclock by replacing the sine table
162     with a slightly less accurate fixed point approximation.
163 sf-exg 1.1264 - do not specify indentation with =over in pod, this is no longer
164 root 1.1262 needed with semi-modern pod tools and gives the formatter more
165     stylistic freedom.
166 sf-exg 1.1264 - background extension did not set the "size-sensitive" flag
167 root 1.1263 when repeat mode wasn't normal.
168     - extensions are now subjected to "use strict 'subs'".
169 root 1.1265 - avoid crashing when xft successfully opens a font but then somehow
170     can't lock the face.
171 root 1.1272 - locale_decode/encode api methods now pass through undef unchanged.
172 root 1.1273 - fix undefined behaviour in the perl hook function, as diagnosed by clang.
173 root 1.1236
174 root 1.1235 9.26 Fri May 14 19:14:14 CEST 2021
175     - ev_iouring.c was wrongly required during compilation, and wrongly
176     not packaged.
177    
178 root 1.1234 9.25 Fri May 14 15:51:36 CEST 2021
179 root 1.1232 - for the 17.5th anniversary, and because many distributions seem to
180     remove rxvt in favour of urxvt, this release resurrects rclock as
181     urclock.
182 sf-exg 1.1229 - add support for systemd socket-based activation - debian bug #917105,
183     freebsd bug #234276.
184 root 1.1226 - do not destruct perl on exit anymore: this might fail for a variety of
185 sf-exg 1.1238 reasons, and takes unnecessary time.
186 root 1.1232 - remove any macros from urxvtperl manpage(s), should fix debian
187     bug 858385.
188 root 1.1221 - the old bg image resources are now provided by the background
189     extension, and perl is thus required for bg image support. No
190     configuration change is needed: urxvt autoloads the background
191     ext if any bg image resource/option is present (for OSC sequences to
192 sf-exg 1.1237 work you need to enable it explicitly). The old bg image
193 root 1.1221 resources are also now deprecated; users are encouraged to
194     switch to the new bg image interface (see man urxvt-background).
195 root 1.1224 - confirm-paste now checks for any ctlchars, not just newlines.
196 root 1.1225 - searchable scrollback will now ignore bracketed paste mode sequences
197     (prompted by Daniel Gröber's patch).
198 root 1.1217 - drop ISO 2022 locale support. ISO 2022 encodings are not supported in
199 root 1.1219 POSIX locales and clash with vt100 charset emulation (the luit
200     program can be used as a substitute).
201 root 1.1222 - perl didn't parse rgba colours specified as an array correctly,
202 root 1.1223 only allowing 0 and 100% intensity for each component (this affected
203     fill and tint).
204 root 1.1221 - when iterating over resources, urxvt will now try to properly handle
205     multipart resources (such as "*background.expr"), for the benefit
206     of autoloading perl extensions.
207 root 1.1218 - ESC G (query rxvt graphics mode) has been disabled due to security
208     implications. The rxvt graphics mode was removed in rxvt-unicode 1.5,
209     and no programs relying on being able to query the mode are known.
210 root 1.1214 - work around API change breakage in perl 5.28, based on a patch by
211     Roman Bogorodskiy.
212 root 1.1210 - improved security: rob nation's (obsolete) graphics mode queries
213     no longer reply with linefeed in secure/default mode.
214 sf-exg 1.1207 - ISO 8613-3 direct colour SGR sequences (patch by Fengguang Wu).
215     - xterm focus reporting mode (patch by Daniel Hahler).
216 sf-exg 1.1228 - xterm SGR mouse mode.
217 sf-exg 1.1230 - implement DECRQM. Patch by Přemysl Eric Janouch.
218     - add missing color index parameter to OSC 4 response. Patch
219     by Přemysl Eric Janouch.
220 sf-exg 1.1208 - in some window managers, if smart resize was enabled, urxvt
221     erroneously moved the window on font change - awesome bug
222     #532, arch linux bug ##34807 (patch by Uli Schlachter).
223 sf-exg 1.1212 - fix urxvtd crash when using a background expression.
224     - properly restore colors when using fading and reverse video
225     is enabled while urxvt is focused and then disabled while it
226     is not focused, or vice versa (patch by Daniel Hahler).
227 sf-exg 1.1209 - fix high memory usage when an extension repeatedly hides and
228     shows an overlay (reported by Marcel Lautenbach).
229 root 1.1211 - expose priv_modes member and constants to perl extensions
230     (patch by Rastislav Barlik).
231 root 1.1216 - fix a whole slew of const sillyness, unfortunately forced upon
232     us by ISO C++.
233     - update to libecb 0x00010006.
234     - disable all thread support in ecb.h as we presumably don't need it.
235 root 1.1220 - slightly improve Makefile source dependencies.
236 root 1.1227 - work around bugs in newer Pod::Xhtml versions (flags incorrect formatting codes
237     in xhtml/html sections but does not interpret correct ones).
238 sf-exg 1.1207
239 root 1.1206 9.22 Sat Jan 23 21:07:33 CET 2016
240 sf-exg 1.1205 - NOTICE: this release updates terminfo.
241     - add terminfo capabilities for various ctrl and shift-ctrl key variants
242     (patch by Sebastian Schmidt).
243 root 1.1197 - fix longstanding core font encoding bug where some character
244     ranges could not be mapped from unicode to the font: affected
245     encodings are big5, gb2312, iso8859-8 (hebrew), jis0201 and
246     ksc5601 (reported by Mikachu).
247 sf-exg 1.1203 - fix crash when the number of columns is 1 and a 0 width character is inserted
248     (reported by Kuang-che Wu).
249 sf-exg 1.1202 - fix a crash when parsing an invalid color specification (reported by Kuang-che Wu).
250     - fix a buffer overflow in font name parser (reported by Kuang-che Wu).
251 sf-exg 1.1196 - do not start blinking cursor if the window is unfocused (reported by
252     Devin J. Pohly).
253 sf-exg 1.1192 - change the width of underline and i-beam cursor to 2 pixels (based on
254     a patch by Omar Sandoval).
255 sf-exg 1.1199 - add pointerShape resource to change the mouse pointer shape
256     (based on a patch by Brian Watson).
257 sf-exg 1.1191 - a keysym resource for a key which is already bound to an
258     action now properly rebinds the key.
259 sf-exg 1.1203 - do not report mouse motion events if Shift is active (patch by Daniel Hahler).
260     - put the alpha component last in responses to OSC color queries
261     (patch by Benjamin Herr).
262 sf-exg 1.1194 - the key_press hook is now invoked before processing the
263     event, as documented. This change was done in 9.21 but not
264     announced and fixes debian bugs #511377, #531751 and red hat
265     bug #1105069. Note that this change breaks a few scripts,
266     such as mark-yank-urls, which rely on the previous buggy
267     behaviour that urxvt processes the event (in particular
268     keysym bindings) before invoking the hook.
269 sf-exg 1.1191 - the tabbed extension now properly refreshes the active tab
270 sf-exg 1.1194 on a key press when the mouse pointer is outside the terminal
271 sf-exg 1.1191 window.
272 sf-exg 1.1195 - add 'lookup_keysym' perl method to lookup the action bound
273     to a key combination.
274     - a key combination bound to 'matcher:select' can now be used
275     to cycle through the matches in matcher.
276 root 1.1200 - change perl integer accessors (->width et al.) into mutators.
277 root 1.1284 - this version has ben verified to work with perl 5.8.3.
278 sf-exg 1.1191
279 root 1.1189 9.21 Wed Dec 31 14:50:03 CET 2014
280 root 1.1182 - the "moa redraw 8-bit british vintage colour management" release.
281 root 1.1173 - NOTICE: this release updates terminfo.
282 root 1.1170 - fix pixel droppings on overdraw when a secondary core font has the
283     same height but different ascent.
284 root 1.1171 - implement cvvis in terminfo as blinking cursor, to distinguish it
285     from cnorm (emacs uses cvvis which is commonly a blinking cursor).
286 root 1.1190 - when xft support was compiled in, colour queries erroneously returned
287 root 1.1183 premultiplied values, this also affected internal queries, for example
288 root 1.1190 when calculating faded colour. alpha is now divided out when possible,
289     which is more correct but loses colour resolution.
290 root 1.1173 - add DECSCUSR xterm extension to set the cursor to a vertical bar.
291 sf-exg 1.1166 - add 'extension:string' action, and associated on_action perl
292     hook, for keysym resources that invokes actions provided by
293     perl extensions. The 'perl:string' action and
294     on_user_command hook are deprecated but still supported.
295 sf-exg 1.1165 - add 'builtin-string' action for keysym resources that restores string
296     mappings for keys that have predefined actions in urxvt.
297     - add -k option to urxvtc for killing the daemon process.
298 root 1.1187 - document urxvtd's -e/--eval option that was implemented in 9.16,
299     but not documented.
300 sf-exg 1.1165 - add -dockapp option to make the wm treat urxvt as a dockapp.
301 sf-exg 1.1166 - add -mc option and multiClickTime resource to set the maximum time
302 sf-exg 1.1158 between multi-click select events (patch by Joe Peterson).
303 sf-exg 1.1166 - new 'eval' extension to evaluate arbitrary perl code with keysym
304 sf-exg 1.1153 bindings. The extension also provides methods that implement basic
305     actions, such as pasting selections and scrolling.
306     - the macosx-clipboard and macosx-clipboard-native extensions have been removed.
307 root 1.1149 - kuake extension now uses the kuake.hotkey resource to specify the hotkey.
308 sf-exg 1.1157 - new 'matcher:select' mode of matcher to iterate over the matches with the keyboard.
309 sf-exg 1.1154 - the 'matcher:list' feature of matcher now honours the launcher
310     associated to a matched pattern.
311 sf-exg 1.1168 - speed-up matcher underlining on very long lines (reported by Edward Z. Yang).
312     - fix up/down commands of searchable-scrollback so that they always move
313 sf-exg 1.1156 to the previous/next logical line with a match, if any.
314 root 1.1149 - searchable-scrollback resource has been deprecated (use keysym instead).
315 sf-exg 1.1150 - extension parameter passing is deprecated (use resource mechanism instead).
316 root 1.1152 - upgrade to GPLv3 (see COPYING).
317 sf-exg 1.1168 - compile out of the box on Solaris 10, again.
318 sf-exg 1.1166 - fix height and position of the stippled area in next scrollbar (patch
319 sf-exg 1.1155 by Thomas Otto).
320 root 1.1160 - fix off-by-one bug causing the iso14755 window not to jump out of the
321     way properly.
322 sf-exg 1.1165 - fix crash that may happen if a lib to which urxvt is linked to calls setenv.
323 sf-exg 1.1169 - fix memory leak in special_{encode,decode} perl methods.
324     - fix refresh bug that occurs when reverse video is set on a cell
325 root 1.1190 containing a space and with the same bg and fg colour, red hat bug
326 sf-exg 1.1169 #830236.
327 root 1.1174 - fix crash that may happen if an x error is received after a terminal
328 root 1.1176 window/popup has been destroyed already.

330 root 1.1190 - greatly improve colour allocation on colour-starved pseudocolour
331 root 1.1177 displays to avoid read-write cells instead of simply failing

333 root 1.1178 - do not free fade colours when not doing fading (this is likely
334     only relevant for antique 8bpp frame buffers).
335 root 1.1179 - do not specialcase 2 or 4 colour visuals, leading to
336     simpler and actually more correct code.

341     frame buffers).

418     - new env variable: RXVT_PERL_LIB.
419     - allocate all screen memory in one go and let the virtual memory

453     loading of the "keysym-list" perl extension.
454 sf-exg 1.1038 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: A scale value of 0 in the bg image
455     geometry no longer enables tiling, so as to make it possible
456     to disable both scaling and tiling.
457 mikachu 1.1058 - overhaul of the bg image operations. The old operations have
458     been deprecated in favour of elementary operations and
459     styles built on top of the new operations and scale/position
460     settings. (Emanuele Giaquinta).
461     - support for libafterimage is deprecated and will be removed
462     in the next release.

465     while scrolling up in curses programs for example).
466     - do not move the selection when scrolling up and the selection is
467     outside the scrolling region (Emanuele Giaquinta).
468     - fix display of bold bright black (reported by Ben Winslow).
469     - fix memory leak when urgentOnBell is set (patch by Nathaniel
470     Filardo).
471     - fix a redraw bug that occurs when a bg pixmap is set and the
472     wm does not honour the size hints set by urxvt. Now urxvt
473     forces the size of the terminal window to be a multiple of
474     the cell size.
475 sf-exg 1.1034 - sanitise the argument of SD / SU sequences. Fixes a possible

478 mikachu 1.1058 - correctly split long lines when scrolling.
479 sf-exg 1.1051 - urxvt now looks for perl extensions also in $HOME/.urxvt/ext.
480     - add bell-command perl extension to execute a command when a

482 sf-exg 1.1055 - add set_urgency perl binding to set/reset the urgency hint.
483 sf-tpope 1.1041 - consume button release event in matcher (exg).
484 sf-tpope 1.1042 - keyboard accessible list of recent matches in matcher
485     (Bob Farrell).
486 sf-exg 1.1043 - properly process 'keysym' sequences in tabbed when using
487     'focus follows mouse' and the focus is on the main window
488     but not on the active terminal window (patch by Martin
489     Pohlack).
490 root 1.1059 - support for the freedesktop startup-notification protocol (patch by
491 mikachu 1.1048 Michael Stapelberg).
492 mikachu 1.1058 - the direction of VPR and VPB commands was reversed.
493 root 1.1059 - fix alignment of inherited root pixmap when it is a different size
494 mikachu 1.1057 than the root window and the terminal window is off the left or top
495     edge (Mikachu).
496 mikachu 1.1061 - make $self visible in "eval perl expression" popup action, also
497     handle exceptions better.

503     urxvt would fail to request a selection if the owner did not
504     support the UTF8_STRING target.
505     - fix rendering of double width chars in certain circumstances, more
506     likely to happen if urxvt is compiled with 256 colors support as
507 root 1.1103 urxvt runs out of fonts much earlier then. Fixes gentoo bug #358151
508 mikachu 1.1058 (Emanuele Giaquinta).
509     - restore support for 'list' syntax in keysym resources (requested by Sung Pae).
510 root 1.1028 - always premultiply colour values - while this increases differences between
511 mikachu 1.1058 core fonts and xft, it is "more correct" in practical situations.
512     - disable PTYTTY_REENTRANT option - not needed for urxvt and saves a bit of code.
513     - remove lucidatypewriter from the list of fallback fonts, it was the only
514     non-xft non-cellfont in the list anyway.

518     - remove 'list' syntax for keysym resources, as it serves no useful purpose.
519     If you need it, poke us and provide a use case.
520     - fix alpha channel support. Premultiply alpha in colours if the visual
521     supports an alpha channel, as xrender expects premultiplied alpha
522     (Emanuele Giaquinta).
523     - fix reply to a selection request sent by an obsolete client
524     such as syncterm (patch by Marcin Cieslak).
525 sf-exg 1.1019 - fix crash when the window is resized and the overlay is active
526     (Emanuele Giaquinta, reported by Ryan Kavanagh).
527 mikachu 1.1058 - match character-wise rather than byte-wise in selection
528     extension again. perl 5.8.9+ is required to avoid extreme
529     slowdowns. Fixes debian bugs #523072, #616463.
530     - fix a possible crash if the INCR transfer process for a
531     selection property timeouts and at least one chunk is
532     received. (Emanuele Giaquinta)
533 sf-exg 1.1020 - work around a memory corruption bug in xorg's XrmSetDatabase (apparently
534 mikachu 1.1058 broken since http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/xorg-commit-diffs/2004-March/000239.html).
535     - fix memory corruption bug when custom command sequences bound to keys
536     were injected into an already-full pty input buffer.
537     - gdk-pixbuf is autodetected by default and preferred over libafterimage.
538     - do not prepend a newline to the selection text when the starting line
539     of the selection is not highlighted (Emanuele Giaquinta).
540 root 1.988 - don't swap perl env with real env, save and restore it, just in case
541 mikachu 1.1058 we ever get recursive perl invocations. also saves a bit of codespace
542     with gcc.
543     - fix various memory leaks (Emanuele Giaquinta).
544     - fix typo in kIC terminfo capability, debian bug #446444.
545     - document 'thickness' resource.
546     - fix debian bug #504817, to the extent possible.
547 sf-exg 1.1014 - try to detect byte order at compile time, saves a couple of
548 mikachu 1.1058 hundred bytes, if your compiler is smart enough.
549     - add support for previewing the pasted data in confirm-paste
550     (Emanuele Giaquinta).
551     - added "newlines to spaces" option in selection-popup.
552     - actually enabled solaris event ports backend (was disabled by accident).
553     - revert to 38400 baud max., mission accomplished.
554     - no longer create scary "pty_fill: PLEASE REPORT" message, instead,
555     silently drain the input (problem is well understood now).
556     - no longer swallow rob nation's own graphics mode commands.

560 mikachu 1.1058 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: make OSC 20 simpler and more correct
561     (Emanuele Giaquinta).
562 root 1.982 - if options were compiled out, this could lead to the option
563 mikachu 1.1058 count to be defined wrongly. This is likely behind the
564     failures with gcc 4.5.
565     - explicitly depend on fontconfig and xrender when xft support
566     is enabled. Although the public Xft api uses types from
567     both, in Xft 2.2.0 these libs are private
568     dependencies only thanks to an idiotic behaviour of
569     pkg-config that was added to workaround cases like this one.
570     Fixes linking when using GNU ld with --as-needed or GNU gold
571     (based on patch by Jan Palus).
572     - fix minor memory leaks in urxvt and urxvtd.
573     - fix regression in urxvtd that prevented options from being correctly
574     set (reported by Michal Vaner).
575 sf-exg 1.978 - implement xterm's horribly broken 1005 mouse reporting mode,
576 mikachu 1.1058 and an alternative 1015 mode that works in non-utf-8 locales
577     and has fewer limitations.
578 sf-exg 1.977 - fix a possible bug where mouse notifications didn't work after
579 mikachu 1.1058 startup for the upper left corner.
580     - implement our own pixbuf to pixmap rendering to get rid of
581     dependency on buggy gdk-pixbuf-xlib. Only truecolor visuals
582     are supported (Emanuele Giaquinta).
583     - apply tinting before shading when both operations are requested.
584     Previously they were intermixed when lightening and the result
585     was inaccurate and confusing. Note that now a black tint yields a
586     completely black image, regardless of shading (Emanuele Giaquinta).
587     - avoid spurious redraws of the bg image when bg is transparent or
588     when using 'root' mode (Emanuele Giaquinta).
589     - fix build on XFree86.
590     - dynamically number options according to compiletime requirements.
591     For the extra saved byte. Or so. Yay.
592     - start options at one, not zero. Wastes a bit per terminal. Maybe.
593     saves 50 instruction bytes. Possibly.

623 sf-exg 1.945 - add highlightTextColor resource to change the foreground colour of
624 sf-exg 1.956 highlighted characters (Emanuele Giaquinta).
625 sf-exg 1.945 - make highlightColor apply also to selected cells with reverse video
626 sf-exg 1.956 but not to non selected cells with reverse video (Emanuele Giaquinta).
627 sf-exg 1.945 - remove colorRV resource (it was enabled only with frills off).
628 root 1.941 - fix numlock handling, the most longstanding bug to date (Emanuele Giaquinta).
629 mikachu 1.1058 - reduce the number of custom bits to 4, to make room
630     for 256 colours.
631 sf-exg 1.959 - add support for 256 colors (Emanuele Giaquinta, Marc Lehmann).
632 mikachu 1.1058 - add rxvt-unicode-256color terminfo and use it by default in 256 colors mode.
633     - update rxvt-unicode terminfo to state 7744 colour pairs to cover all
634     88*88 possible pairs.
635     - actually added macosx-clipboard-native, which should have been in
636     the 9.07 release but had been forgotten.
637     - fix hang if DECAWM is not set and there are not enough columns to insert a
638     character (Emanuele Giaquinta).
639     - cub1 ("backspace") will now respect wrapping when past the rightmost column,
640     working around a shortcoming of most tty line discipline's line editing.
641 sf-exg 1.935 - add support for grabbing the clipboard selection and extend
642     selection{_clear,_grab,} perl bindings to optionally work
643     on the clipboard selection (based on patch by Dana Jansens).
644 mikachu 1.1058 - no longer force CERASE to BACKSPACE - use the system default. affects
645     default value for VERASE only when no compatible setting for
646     backspacekey was given.
647     - use higher than 38400 baudrate setting, if detected.
648     - erase screen would clear to the wrong background when blinking
649     was enabled (which selects high intensity under some circumstances).
650     - scr_kill_char didn't touch the line.
651     - upgrade and port to libev-4.01.

677     is correct and work around some NetBSD issues (Taylor R Campbell).
678     - update to libptytty 1.3.

682     - assertions in libev are now enabled depending on frills.
683     - update AnyEvent implementation to version 5.23 API.
684     - work around arrogant bsd idiocies again: netbsd spills the default
685     namespace with lots of symbols "for gnu/gcc compatibility" even
686     though neither of them does it, and then calls the rest of the world
687     in need of fixing. go figure.
688     - on_keyboard_command is on_user_command (patch by Michael Witten).

720     monopolising the whole process by outputting a lot of text.
721     - try to work around linux first breaking sched_yield and now breaking

1032     in empty spaces, but that's not true when reversing (e.g. selection),
1033     so also check for matching fg colours. This fixes the problem where
1034     selecting newly scrolled-in lines would exhibit wrong colours.
1035     - fix a bug in the perl interface causing focus in events to generate
1036     focus out perl events, causing bad focus effects with -pe tabbed.
1037     - fix a race resulting in a crash on exiting.
1038     - fix a with --disable-xft that caused xfreecolors to be called on
1039     colors never allocated, resulting in aborts (reported by Paco-Paco).
1040     - resources on non-initial screens weren't refetched correctly
1041     (reported by Paco-Paco).
1042     - fix a bug in xcopyarea pass and _disable_ it, as it seems not to be
1043     working in either rxvt-unicode nor in the original rxvt.

1053     - tab colours are now configurable and have sensible defaults
1054     (initial patch by hednod).
1055     - option menu is extendable, readline, selection and
1056     selection-autotransform can now be disabled/enabled at runtime.
1057     - forcing a configure event to tabbed subwindows with -pe tabbed, for
1058     the benefit of automove-background.
1059     - the automove-background extension added a wrong constant offset.
1060     - force refresh of XA_RESOURCE_STRING on virtual reconnect.

1076     detection:
1077     - fully double-wide fonts will now be correctly treated,
1078     - overlap detection was improved.
1079     - detect totally broken fonts (usually synthesized by xft).
1080     - careful mode forced refresh sometimes clashed with blinking,
1081     causing unnecessary screen redraws.
1082     - better handling of XFT combining characters.
1083     - enable antialiasing for some replacement fonts, as they
1084     might get used for other encodings which really need it, later.
1085     - remove spacing=100 from all default fonts, as this creates totally
1086     weird spacing (5 times normal) with xft.
1087     - removed iso10646 fallback, as xorgs iso10646 encoded fonts are mostly
1088     broken.
1089     - removed gnu unifont fallback, all combining characters are broken.
1090     - replace named colours by xorg's rgb.txt equivalents, to
1091     reduce round trip time on startup, and short-cut allocation
1092     of rgb:rr/gg/bb for xft.
1093     - short-cut allocation of rgb values in the xlib case
1094     (patch by Paco-Paco).
1095     - overhauled color management: smaller codesize, alpha support.
1096     - support "rgba:rrrr/gggg/bbbb/aaaa" color specifications and
1097     an "[alpha]" prefix.
1098     - try to work around Xft and Xrender forcing everything to be 100%
1099     transparent. Long Live Xft!
1100     - do not include X11/Intrinsic.h anymore, directly use
1101     Xlib/Xutil/Xresource directly.

1184     the same effect as pseudo-transparency with any pixmap.

1195     - perl/selection, perl/selection-autotransform: regexes are now
1196     being interpreted in the locale urxvt was started.

1254     systems where non-unix ptys were used (such as most BSDs, not
1255     GNU/Linux). (found, patched and debugged by Ryan Beasley).
1256     - meta8 support was forcefully enabled in most configurations.

1371     - rxvt is now much more careful (read: slower) with potentially

1538     - implement underlineColor resource when ENABLE_FRILLS.
1539 sf-exg 1.1063 - iom left its signal pipe handle open in the child

1566     - fix off-by-one bug with wide characters at the end of a line,
1567     which got partially overwritten by spaces.
1568     - as xlib is completely broken with respect to utf-8 handling
1569     and nobody is going to fix it, that part has been re-implemented.

1621     - move XFilterEvent up, as some input method seem to want events
1622     for windows not requesting XIM. Please report if this change
1623     causes any harm (specially with pointerblanking)
1624     (patch by Kuang-che Wu).
1625     - send the input method spot position on every refresh, not just
1626     when rxvt thinks it should (which was not often enough...).
1627     - fix double-wide combining characters (it might look a bit ugly,
1628     though, but common cases are handled by normalization anyways).
1629     - moved FAQ to rxvt(7), also made a copy into README.FAQ.
1630     - fix a bug(?) in the XIM destroy callback.
1631     - be more conservative when trying to register new input methods,
1632     as Xlib races might make rxvt crash. When two or more
1633     input methods are active, killing one probably still crashes rxvt
1634     due to that bug :( Thanks a lot to Kuang-che Wu for immense help

1651 sf-exg 1.1035 - fixed a segfault when trying to load nonexistent fonts (reported

1653     - fixed a long-standing rxvt bug in which rxvt failed to save

1655     - reworked rxvt-unicode terminfo to allow more efficient and less flickering
1656     screen updates with curses.
1657     - wide characters that are being halfway overwritten are now replaced
1658     by spaces.
1659     - urxvtc now transmits urxvt as default name, not urxvtc anymore
1660     (likewise for other names chosen at configure time).
1661     - disabled the automatic font lookup for unknown characters. xft
1662     is just too slow for this to work.
1663     - changed realbold code, implemented _real_ bold and italic support,
1664     where _real_ means the symbiosis of what I want with what I can
1665     implement. use --enable-styles.
1666     - removed 256 color mode, but enable 88 colours in all modes
1667     (88 to be compatible with 88 colour xterm which is widely
1668     supported, and most programs assume a non-iso colourtable
1669     for terminals with "odd" number of colours).
1670     - added doc/etc/rxvt-unicode.terminfo which is a big overhaul

1673 root 1.430 monospaced "enough") *and* matches the base font in width.
1674     - implement positive and negative character-font caching, which
1675     speeds up output immensely in case a character cannot be found
1676     (only for non-bold right now).
1677     - fix segfault in fading code on certain escape sequences.
1678     - better default font size and style.
1679     - rxvt-unicode is now much more picky about fonts not fitting
1680     into the base font, but to offset this it will check each
1681     single character against the base font extents and will only
1682     use the characters fitting into the bounding box (+ some fudge).
1683     - characters not fitting into the base boundary box will now often
1684     be used anyways, but the following characters will be redrawn
1685     more often to avoid pixel-droppings. This is like the original
1686     rxvt pixel-dropping pass but it's much faster.
1687     - scrollColor now affects plain scrollbar (Mikael Magnusson).
1688     - fixed segfault in overlay code when height was larger than the
1689     screen height.
1690     - cursor no longer shines "through" the overlay.
1691     - 7-bit ST marker detection was broken.
1692     - scrollbar didn't come back sometimes when switching it
1693     off/on using escape sequences (Mikael Magnusson).
1694     - fix lots of colour problems with focus fading.
1695     - $COLORFGBG was not set as documented.

1706 root 1.430 due to no fontset being available. The fontset used is a very rough

1708     "cannot create input context" in most cases.
1709     - fix coordinates used for Over && OffTheSpot editing to fit directly
1710     at the cursor (Over) or into the top line (Off).
1711     - reset SIGHUP and SIGPIPE handlers to default values (they were
1712 sf-exg 1.1035 previously being ignored, causing programs not to exit on window
1713 root 1.430 close).
1714     - implemented simple overlays for feedback messages. believe it or

1721     #202497). This is _not_ a bug in rxvt but rather a race
1722     condition in other programs (e.g. jed). It works by forcefully
1723     sending SIGWINCH when rxvt sees the first output from the
1724     command. This workaround isn't perfect (a slight cost to
1725     wellbehaving programs who need to resize twice), but it usually

1734     reflect on their function, renamed many variables.
1735     - fixed printscreen functionality, as noted by Jinesh Choksi.

1762     - rxvt-unicode will now try to find a matching xft font if it can't
1763     find a matching font from the fallback list. It might look ugly,
1764     but if a xft font with our character exists, rxvt will find it.
1765     - moved FreeMono to the very back of the fallback list, as some
1766     people complain it looks ugly. This is a no-win situation, though.
1767     - fixed sourceforge bug 998970, reported against aterm:
1768     "crash on -sl 0 on super small windows".
1769     - decreased memory and code size when !--enable-transparency.
1770     - SYNCCVS. backported changes done to rxvt, except for Color_ufbg,
1771     which I think is better done through fading, and libW11, which
1772     needs testing anyways.
1773     - more complete compile options help output.
1774     - Provide linear scaled colour cubes for 256 colour mode.
1775     Pass them through as rgbi rather than rgb so that Xlib can
1776     provide gamma (from per visual intensity lists) rather than
1777     providing constant gamma ourselves. Noticed by and ideas from
1778     Christopher Casey <realchriscasey@hotmail.com>

1886     - enable colour tinting of "transparent" backgrounds.
1887     - stop ST sequences earlier, as we now react on 0x90 and thus
1888     cause conditions more often that look like locks but are, in
1889     fact, just rxvt waiting for a ST/BEL etc.

1997     - correct cursor width if !focus.
1998     - fixed --enable-xgetdefault, reported by eduard bloch.
1999 root 1.444 - added manpage for rxvtc/rxvtd based on the one eduard bloch

2015     (I guess the code contains more surprises of this sort...)
2016 pcg 1.19
