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

53     TODO:
54     03:32:26 <BlueFish> Hi. I think I found a bug in special_encode in rxvtperl.xs
55     03:33:37 <BlueFish> special_encode('لا') or any other string that contains 'لا' returns a disturbed string
56     03:33:40 <schmorp> hi BlueFish
57     03:34:10 <schmorp> whats a disturbed string?
58     03:34:25 <BlueFish> for example سلام becomes ملام
59     03:35:05 <BlueFish> see this issue: https://github.com/mkamensky/Text-Bidi/issues/10 I was trying to fix it
60     and after playing around for a while found out that special_encode is causing the problem
61     03:35:36 <schmorp> does this happen when you compile without --enable-combining (or with --disable-combining)?
62     03:37:40 <BlueFish> I don't know the one that I installed from my distro repository has this flag or not. Is
63     there anyway to check?
64     03:38:49 <schmorp> rxvt --help will output a options: line at the top, whioch will list "combining"
65     03:39:10 <schmorp> anyway, I don't think i will understand this at my current tiredness level, I'll have a
66     look when I have time
67     03:39:26 <schmorp> are you usually around on this network, so I coulöd ask you in cas eI have questions?
68     03:40:25 <BlueFish> yes combining is enabled. No I don't check IRC that much. You can reach me via email
69     03:40:44 <schmorp> ok, thats fine
70     03:40:40 <BlueFish> avestasabayemoghadam@gmail.com
71    
72 root 1.1284 - implement a fix for CVE-2022-4170 (reported and analyzed by David Leadbeater).
73     While present in version 9.30, it should not be exploitable. It is exploitable
74     in versions 9.25 and 9.26, at least, and allows anybody controlling terminal
75     input to execute arbitrary code in the urxvt process.
76 root 1.1280 - the background extension no longer requires off focus fading support
77     to be compiled in.
78 sf-exg 1.1282 - fix compiling without frills.
79     - fix rewrapMode: never.
80     - fix regression that caused urxvt to no longer emit responses
81     to OSC color queries other than OSC 4 ones.
82 sf-exg 1.1283 - fix regression that caused urxvt to no longer process OSC 705.
83 root 1.1284 - exec_async (used e.g. by the matcher extension to spawn processes) now
84     sets the URXVT_EXT_WINDOWID variable to the window id opf the terminal.
85 root 1.1285 - implement -fps option/refreshRate resource to change the default 60 Hz
86     maximum refresh limiter. I always wanted an fps option, but had to
87     wait for a user requesting it.
88 root 1.1280
89 root 1.1278 9.30 Sat 27 Nov 2021 21:07:09 CET
90     - the background extension did not initialise properly when automatically
91 root 1.1277 loaded via the OSC.
92     - new "on_attach" hook type implemented, to initialise late-loading
93     extensions.
94    
95 root 1.1276 9.29 Mon 22 Nov 2021 18:07:14 CET
96     - libptytty (http://dist.schmorp.de/libptytty/) is now a required
97     external dependency.
98 root 1.1263 - enable confirm-paste extension by default, can be disabled by e.g.
99     URxvt.perl-ext: -confirm-paste
100 sf-exg 1.1257 - Key bindings specified with the -keysym option or with resources of
101     the form URxvt*keysym work again. Such resources, as opposed to
102     resources of the form URxvt.keysym, were not officially allowed but
103     accepted, so ignoring them is considered a regression.
104 root 1.1253 - new option/resource -rm/rewrapMode, which sets the line rewrap
105     mode to auto, never or always.
106     - new option/resource -dpb/disablePasteBrackets, which can be used to
107     disable bracketed paste mode sequences, as more and more programs
108     abuse these sequences (typically in the name of security, but these
109 root 1.1255 sequences are not improving security). Also, bracketed paste mode
110     is now under frills.
111 root 1.1269 - add manpage for urclock.
112 root 1.1267 - confirm-paste wrongly considered brackets as ctrlchars (patch by
113     Jakub Wilk, debian bug #995244).
114 root 1.1245 - if urxvt cannot detect a good estimate for font width (because a font does
115 root 1.1250 not contain latin characters at all for example), it will now fall
116 sf-exg 1.1249 back to xft's max_advance_width, which works well with some fonts. It
117 root 1.1245 currently will warn about this.
118 root 1.1239 - do not render variation selectors in the default font as boxes, treat
119     them as zero-width characters.
120 root 1.1248 - change combining character architecture to allow fonts to handle
121     combining sequences on their own. This could allow future renderers
122     to be more intelligent about these sequences.
123     - use the previous enhancement to allow unicode characters outside of the
124     BMP to be rendered even without --enable-unicode3, as long as an
125     xft with the character is configured.
126     It's recommended to stay with disabled unicode3 even more now.
127     - freetype/xft have been verified to return nonsensical offsets for
128     combining characters. urxvt tries to compensate to some extent,
129     but diacritics will be slightly off in many cases, and far off in
130     some cases (e.g. input mono).
131 root 1.1254 - when checking for overlap/careful handling, take non-basefont
132     character shifts into account.
133 root 1.1263 - extensions can now request autoloading on OSC and Perl OSC sequences,
134     implement this for the background, clipboard-osc and overlay-osc
135     extensions.
136     - the background extension will now be autoloaded when the OSC 20 or 705
137     sequence is received.
138 root 1.1274 - added OSC 776 sequence to return character cell width, height and font
139     ascent, which is useful when using urxvt as slave to calculate window
140     size form or to row/column count.
141 root 1.1275 - matcher extension documentation now points out some requirements for
142     regular expressions. the default url matching regex will now try
143     to match IRLs in addition to URLs.
144 root 1.1263 - The view_start perl method now scrolls to the bottom also when the
145     argument is greater than 0.
146     - eval scroll actions now scroll to the bottom when scrolling down and
147     there are less lines to scroll than the ones requested (reported by
148     Stephen Talley).
149 root 1.1236 - allow perl-ext and perl-ext-common to override autoloaded extensions.
150 sf-exg 1.1237 this allows tabbed to disable itself in subtabs, avoiding recursive
151 root 1.1236 loading.
152 root 1.1242 - update precompose table to unicode 13.0.
153 root 1.1241 - update charset conversion tables to perl 5.32 (this only affected
154     cs_koi8_u_from_unicode).
155 root 1.1244 - unicode characters > 0x100000 were not handled correctly w.r.t.
156     font rendering.
157 root 1.1252 - replace bitstream vera by dejavu sans, as it has replaced the former
158     almost everywhere.
159 root 1.1266 - urxvt will now try tic -x first and only fall back to tic without -x
160     when tic -x fails.
161 root 1.1270 - fix urclock not erasing the old date on the clock face, causing
162     overdraw, plus a host of other small fixes and improvements.
163 root 1.1261 - shave off over 1K of code size from urclock by replacing the sine table
164     with a slightly less accurate fixed point approximation.
165 sf-exg 1.1264 - do not specify indentation with =over in pod, this is no longer
166 root 1.1262 needed with semi-modern pod tools and gives the formatter more
167     stylistic freedom.
168 sf-exg 1.1264 - background extension did not set the "size-sensitive" flag
169 root 1.1263 when repeat mode wasn't normal.
170     - extensions are now subjected to "use strict 'subs'".
171 root 1.1265 - avoid crashing when xft successfully opens a font but then somehow
172     can't lock the face.
173 root 1.1272 - locale_decode/encode api methods now pass through undef unchanged.
174 root 1.1273 - fix undefined behaviour in the perl hook function, as diagnosed by clang.
175 root 1.1236
176 root 1.1235 9.26 Fri May 14 19:14:14 CEST 2021
177     - ev_iouring.c was wrongly required during compilation, and wrongly
178     not packaged.
179    
180 root 1.1234 9.25 Fri May 14 15:51:36 CEST 2021
181 root 1.1232 - for the 17.5th anniversary, and because many distributions seem to
182     remove rxvt in favour of urxvt, this release resurrects rclock as
183     urclock.
184 sf-exg 1.1229 - add support for systemd socket-based activation - debian bug #917105,
185     freebsd bug #234276.
186 root 1.1226 - do not destruct perl on exit anymore: this might fail for a variety of
187 sf-exg 1.1238 reasons, and takes unnecessary time.
188 root 1.1232 - remove any macros from urxvtperl manpage(s), should fix debian
189     bug 858385.
190 root 1.1221 - the old bg image resources are now provided by the background
191     extension, and perl is thus required for bg image support. No
192     configuration change is needed: urxvt autoloads the background
193     ext if any bg image resource/option is present (for OSC sequences to
194 sf-exg 1.1237 work you need to enable it explicitly). The old bg image
195 root 1.1221 resources are also now deprecated; users are encouraged to
196     switch to the new bg image interface (see man urxvt-background).
197 root 1.1224 - confirm-paste now checks for any ctlchars, not just newlines.
198 root 1.1225 - searchable scrollback will now ignore bracketed paste mode sequences
199     (prompted by Daniel Gröber's patch).
200 root 1.1217 - drop ISO 2022 locale support. ISO 2022 encodings are not supported in
201 root 1.1219 POSIX locales and clash with vt100 charset emulation (the luit
202     program can be used as a substitute).
203 root 1.1222 - perl didn't parse rgba colours specified as an array correctly,
204 root 1.1223 only allowing 0 and 100% intensity for each component (this affected
205     fill and tint).
206 root 1.1221 - when iterating over resources, urxvt will now try to properly handle
207     multipart resources (such as "*background.expr"), for the benefit
208     of autoloading perl extensions.
209 root 1.1218 - ESC G (query rxvt graphics mode) has been disabled due to security
210     implications. The rxvt graphics mode was removed in rxvt-unicode 1.5,
211     and no programs relying on being able to query the mode are known.
212 root 1.1214 - work around API change breakage in perl 5.28, based on a patch by
213     Roman Bogorodskiy.
214 root 1.1210 - improved security: rob nation's (obsolete) graphics mode queries
215     no longer reply with linefeed in secure/default mode.
216 sf-exg 1.1207 - ISO 8613-3 direct colour SGR sequences (patch by Fengguang Wu).
217     - xterm focus reporting mode (patch by Daniel Hahler).
218 sf-exg 1.1228 - xterm SGR mouse mode.
219 sf-exg 1.1230 - implement DECRQM. Patch by Přemysl Eric Janouch.
220     - add missing color index parameter to OSC 4 response. Patch
221     by Přemysl Eric Janouch.
222 sf-exg 1.1208 - in some window managers, if smart resize was enabled, urxvt
223     erroneously moved the window on font change - awesome bug
224     #532, arch linux bug ##34807 (patch by Uli Schlachter).
225 sf-exg 1.1212 - fix urxvtd crash when using a background expression.
226     - properly restore colors when using fading and reverse video
227     is enabled while urxvt is focused and then disabled while it
228     is not focused, or vice versa (patch by Daniel Hahler).
229 sf-exg 1.1209 - fix high memory usage when an extension repeatedly hides and
230     shows an overlay (reported by Marcel Lautenbach).
231 root 1.1211 - expose priv_modes member and constants to perl extensions
232     (patch by Rastislav Barlik).
233 root 1.1216 - fix a whole slew of const sillyness, unfortunately forced upon
234     us by ISO C++.
235     - update to libecb 0x00010006.
236     - disable all thread support in ecb.h as we presumably don't need it.
237 root 1.1220 - slightly improve Makefile source dependencies.
238 root 1.1227 - work around bugs in newer Pod::Xhtml versions (flags incorrect formatting codes
239     in xhtml/html sections but does not interpret correct ones).
240 sf-exg 1.1207
241 root 1.1206 9.22 Sat Jan 23 21:07:33 CET 2016
242 sf-exg 1.1205 - NOTICE: this release updates terminfo.
243     - add terminfo capabilities for various ctrl and shift-ctrl key variants
244     (patch by Sebastian Schmidt).
245 root 1.1197 - fix longstanding core font encoding bug where some character
246     ranges could not be mapped from unicode to the font: affected
247     encodings are big5, gb2312, iso8859-8 (hebrew), jis0201 and
248     ksc5601 (reported by Mikachu).
249 sf-exg 1.1203 - fix crash when the number of columns is 1 and a 0 width character is inserted
250     (reported by Kuang-che Wu).
251 sf-exg 1.1202 - fix a crash when parsing an invalid color specification (reported by Kuang-che Wu).
252     - fix a buffer overflow in font name parser (reported by Kuang-che Wu).
253 sf-exg 1.1196 - do not start blinking cursor if the window is unfocused (reported by
254     Devin J. Pohly).
255 sf-exg 1.1192 - change the width of underline and i-beam cursor to 2 pixels (based on
256     a patch by Omar Sandoval).
257 sf-exg 1.1199 - add pointerShape resource to change the mouse pointer shape
258     (based on a patch by Brian Watson).
259 sf-exg 1.1191 - a keysym resource for a key which is already bound to an
260     action now properly rebinds the key.
261 sf-exg 1.1203 - do not report mouse motion events if Shift is active (patch by Daniel Hahler).
262     - put the alpha component last in responses to OSC color queries
263     (patch by Benjamin Herr).
264 sf-exg 1.1194 - the key_press hook is now invoked before processing the
265     event, as documented. This change was done in 9.21 but not
266     announced and fixes debian bugs #511377, #531751 and red hat
267     bug #1105069. Note that this change breaks a few scripts,
268     such as mark-yank-urls, which rely on the previous buggy
269     behaviour that urxvt processes the event (in particular
270     keysym bindings) before invoking the hook.
271 sf-exg 1.1191 - the tabbed extension now properly refreshes the active tab
272 sf-exg 1.1194 on a key press when the mouse pointer is outside the terminal
273 sf-exg 1.1191 window.
274 sf-exg 1.1195 - add 'lookup_keysym' perl method to lookup the action bound
275     to a key combination.
276     - a key combination bound to 'matcher:select' can now be used
277     to cycle through the matches in matcher.
278 root 1.1200 - change perl integer accessors (->width et al.) into mutators.
279 root 1.1284 - this version has ben verified to work with perl 5.8.3.
280 sf-exg 1.1191
281 root 1.1189 9.21 Wed Dec 31 14:50:03 CET 2014
282 root 1.1182 - the "moa redraw 8-bit british vintage colour management" release.
283 root 1.1173 - NOTICE: this release updates terminfo.
284 root 1.1170 - fix pixel droppings on overdraw when a secondary core font has the
285     same height but different ascent.
286 root 1.1171 - implement cvvis in terminfo as blinking cursor, to distinguish it
287     from cnorm (emacs uses cvvis which is commonly a blinking cursor).
288 root 1.1190 - when xft support was compiled in, colour queries erroneously returned
289 root 1.1183 premultiplied values, this also affected internal queries, for example
290 root 1.1190 when calculating faded colour. alpha is now divided out when possible,
291     which is more correct but loses colour resolution.
292 root 1.1173 - add DECSCUSR xterm extension to set the cursor to a vertical bar.
293 sf-exg 1.1166 - add 'extension:string' action, and associated on_action perl
294     hook, for keysym resources that invokes actions provided by
295     perl extensions. The 'perl:string' action and
296     on_user_command hook are deprecated but still supported.
297 sf-exg 1.1165 - add 'builtin-string' action for keysym resources that restores string
298     mappings for keys that have predefined actions in urxvt.
299     - add -k option to urxvtc for killing the daemon process.
300 root 1.1187 - document urxvtd's -e/--eval option that was implemented in 9.16,
301     but not documented.
302 sf-exg 1.1165 - add -dockapp option to make the wm treat urxvt as a dockapp.
303 sf-exg 1.1166 - add -mc option and multiClickTime resource to set the maximum time
304 sf-exg 1.1158 between multi-click select events (patch by Joe Peterson).
305 sf-exg 1.1166 - new 'eval' extension to evaluate arbitrary perl code with keysym
306 sf-exg 1.1153 bindings. The extension also provides methods that implement basic
307     actions, such as pasting selections and scrolling.
308     - the macosx-clipboard and macosx-clipboard-native extensions have been removed.
309 root 1.1149 - kuake extension now uses the kuake.hotkey resource to specify the hotkey.
310 sf-exg 1.1157 - new 'matcher:select' mode of matcher to iterate over the matches with the keyboard.
311 sf-exg 1.1154 - the 'matcher:list' feature of matcher now honours the launcher
312     associated to a matched pattern.
313 sf-exg 1.1168 - speed-up matcher underlining on very long lines (reported by Edward Z. Yang).
314     - fix up/down commands of searchable-scrollback so that they always move
315 sf-exg 1.1156 to the previous/next logical line with a match, if any.
316 root 1.1149 - searchable-scrollback resource has been deprecated (use keysym instead).
317 sf-exg 1.1150 - extension parameter passing is deprecated (use resource mechanism instead).
318 root 1.1152 - upgrade to GPLv3 (see COPYING).
319 sf-exg 1.1168 - compile out of the box on Solaris 10, again.
320 sf-exg 1.1166 - fix height and position of the stippled area in next scrollbar (patch
321 sf-exg 1.1155 by Thomas Otto).
322 root 1.1160 - fix off-by-one bug causing the iso14755 window not to jump out of the
323     way properly.
324 sf-exg 1.1165 - fix crash that may happen if a lib to which urxvt is linked to calls setenv.
325 sf-exg 1.1169 - fix memory leak in special_{encode,decode} perl methods.
326     - fix refresh bug that occurs when reverse video is set on a cell
327 root 1.1190 containing a space and with the same bg and fg colour, red hat bug
328 sf-exg 1.1169 #830236.
329 root 1.1174 - fix crash that may happen if an x error is received after a terminal
330 root 1.1176 window/popup has been destroyed already.
331     - removed superfluous 0 digit from sgr terminfo sequence.
332 root 1.1190 - greatly improve colour allocation on colour-starved pseudocolour
333 root 1.1177 displays to avoid read-write cells instead of simply failing
334     (this is only relevant for antique 8bpp frame buffers).
335 root 1.1178 - do not free fade colours when not doing fading (this is likely
336     only relevant for antique 8bpp frame buffers).
337 root 1.1179 - do not specialcase 2 or 4 colour visuals, leading to
338     simpler and actually more correct code.
339 root 1.1190 - hopefully no longer leak colours on !truecolour visuals.
340 root 1.1180 - use consistent method names (scr_recolour => scr_recolor).
341 root 1.1181 - use simpler (but slightly less bogus) formula for nearest
342     colour choice (this is likely only relevant for antique 8bpp
343     frame buffers).
344 root 1.1182 - remove fallback behaviour when initialising colours - the
345 sf-exg 1.1185 behaviour was inconsistent between startup vs. later and
346 root 1.1182 was only effective when valid colours couldn't be allocated.
347 root 1.1149
348 root 1.1147 9.20 Sat Apr 26 16:22:27 CEST 2014
349 root 1.1137 - (libptytty) fix bug that prevented urxvtd from writing utmp
350     entries when using --fork (reported by Ryan Kavanagh).

352 root 1.1148 in secure mode (reported by Conor McCarthy).
353 sf-exg 1.1136 - fix build when perl is enabled and fading is disabled.
354 sf-exg 1.1134 - fix regression that broke continuous scrolling when pressing

356 root 1.1140 - increase the maximum length of a command sequence to 32k bytes,
357     to allow longer OSC sequences (previous limit was 2k).
358 sf-exg 1.1145 - new Ctrl-Meta-c and Ctrl-Meta-v bindings to interact with
359     the CLIPBOARD selection.
360 root 1.1142 - new extension: selection-to-clipboard.
361 sf-exg 1.1146 - the extensions macosx-clipboard and macosx-clipboard-native
362     are deprecated and will be removed in the next release.
363     Support for the clipboard on OS X can be more generally
364     enabled by setting the XQuartz preference to sync the OS X
365     pasteboard and the X11 clipboard.

367 root 1.1133 9.19 Sun Oct 27 17:16:07 CET 2013
368 root 1.1131 - work around perl 5.18.0 breakage in tabbed extension
369 root 1.1129 (reported by Karol Blazewicz) and in pod (Dominic Hargreaves).
370 sf-exg 1.1123 - fix regression that caused the double-click word selection to
371     erroneously include a tab on the left of the selected word.
372 root 1.1133 - implement FOCUS variable and focus_fade function in background
373     expression, to allow focus-sensitive background images.
374 sf-exg 1.1120 - add support for the set cursor style (DECSCUSR) control
375     function.
376 sf-exg 1.1119 - honour cursorColor also when the cursor style is underline.

382 root 1.1116 9.17 Fri Mar 1 13:46:08 CET 2013
383 root 1.1113 - add shade operator in background perl extension.
384     - avoid starting or ending the selection in the middle of wide
385 root 1.1125 characters to avoid artifacts (reported by Tiago Resende).
386 sf-exg 1.1115 - fix artifacts that may occur if the character in the cursor
387     cell has width > 1 (reported by Tiago Resende).
388 sf-exg 1.1110 - fix regression that causes artifacts on scrolling if
389     saveLines is 0 and the window is resized (reported by Bert
390     Münnich).
391 sf-exg 1.1109 - fix build when perl is enabled and pixbuf and transparency
392     are disabled.
393    
394 root 1.1108 9.16 Thu Dec 27 11:56:43 CET 2012
395 sf-exg 1.1100 - the "so much new stuff your eyes will pop out" release.
396 root 1.1093 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: renamed urlLauncher resource to url-launcher.
397 sf-exg 1.1082 - fix processing of DEC private mode save sequences (patch by Patrick
398     Hemmer).
399 root 1.1104 - perl extensions now have their own manpages, installed as urxvt-NAME(1),
400 root 1.1105 e.g. urxvt-background(1) - see urxvt-extensions(1) for a list.
401 sf-exg 1.1081 - fix disabling of cursor blink with the option-popup menu (based on a
402     patch by Jan Larres).
403 sf-exg 1.1077 - the font height is not augmented anymore when lineSpace is non zero.
404 root 1.1076 - fix "new pagemap" vs. "delete pagemap" mismatch ([] vs. non-[]),

408 root 1.1078 - make it compile with LOCAL_X_IS_UNIX again (reported by
409     nickfailure@gmail.com).
410 root 1.1098 - completely redone background pixmap support - users can now
411     specify arbitrary expressions (And programs) that calculate
412     new terminal backgrounds. see the urxvt-background manpage
413     for details.
414 sf-exg 1.1099 - xrender is now required for background pixmap support.
415 root 1.1098 - perl extensions can now provide commandline switches and resources
416     which show up in -help etc.
417     - iso14755 51 mode window now displays row and column.
418     - implement a -visual switch and move that and -depth to frills, also
419     warn when we can't get the requested visual.
420     - new env variable: RXVT_PERL_LIB.
421     - allocate all screen memory in one go and let the virtual memory
422     subsystem sort it out. this simplifies code, improves access
423     locality, saves a bit of ram and makes things a bit faster, too.
424     - remove support for libafterimage.
425 root 1.1083 - update to CVS version of libev, for a whopping 11kb size decrease.
426 root 1.1085 - do not ship yet another copy of ecb.h, use the one in libev or
427     libptytty instead.
428 root 1.1087 - selectively mark some methods as cache-hot/cache cold, which
429 sf-exg 1.1088 might speed up execution but definitely decreases codesize.
430 sf-exg 1.1106 - Fix regression that prevented the scrollbar trough color
431     from being applied (reported by Derek B. Noonburg).
432     - Fix the scrollbar size for rxvt style (patch by Mark Robinson).
433 sf-exg 1.1075
434 root 1.1074 9.15 Sat Jan 21 13:36:56 CET 2012
435 root 1.1073 - remove "using namespace std" because clang erroneously
436     thinks thats an error.
437 root 1.1069 - finding a matching font (e.g. bold version of the base font)
438 sf-exg 1.1070 was broken (reported by Eamon Walker).
439 sf-exg 1.1063 - fix parsing of bg image styles. They really work now.
440 sf-exg 1.1064 - fix blurring of bg image borders when using xrender.
441 sf-exg 1.1068 - fix xrender blur on common xrender implementations that do
442     not behave correctly when the same pixmap is used as source
443     and destination in composite operations.
444     - fix regression that caused tabbed to compute the wrong size
445     for tabs.
446 sf-exg 1.1067 - allow again an empty suffix in a keysym list spec (patch by
447     Sung Pae).
448 sf-exg 1.1072 - unsupported support for sun studio's CC added.
449     - fix -C option on solaris.
450 sf-exg 1.1063
451 root 1.1062 9.14 Wed Dec 21 18:40:33 CET 2011
452 sf-exg 1.1052 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: the urxvtd default socket path is now
453     $HOME/.urxvt/urxvtd-<nodename>.
454 mikachu 1.1058 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: the "list" keysym expansion now requires
455     loading of the "keysym-list" perl extension.
456 sf-exg 1.1038 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: A scale value of 0 in the bg image
457     geometry no longer enables tiling, so as to make it possible
458     to disable both scaling and tiling.
459 mikachu 1.1058 - overhaul of the bg image operations. The old operations have
460     been deprecated in favour of elementary operations and
461     styles built on top of the new operations and scale/position
462     settings. (Emanuele Giaquinta).
463     - support for libafterimage is deprecated and will be removed
464     in the next release.
465     - fix a crash caused by selection_check not properly resetting
466     out-of-bounds mark values (can happen when extending a selection
467     while scrolling up in curses programs for example).
468     - do not move the selection when scrolling up and the selection is
469     outside the scrolling region (Emanuele Giaquinta).
470     - fix display of bold bright black (reported by Ben Winslow).
471     - fix memory leak when urgentOnBell is set (patch by Nathaniel
472     Filardo).
473     - fix a redraw bug that occurs when a bg pixmap is set and the
474     wm does not honour the size hints set by urxvt. Now urxvt
475     forces the size of the terminal window to be a multiple of
476     the cell size.
477 sf-exg 1.1034 - sanitise the argument of SD / SU sequences. Fixes a possible
478     crash when the argument is big enough, red hat bug #711137
479     (Emanuele Giaquinta).
480 mikachu 1.1058 - correctly split long lines when scrolling.
481 sf-exg 1.1051 - urxvt now looks for perl extensions also in $HOME/.urxvt/ext.
482     - add bell-command perl extension to execute a command when a
483     bell event occurs (Ryan Kavanagh).
484 sf-exg 1.1055 - add set_urgency perl binding to set/reset the urgency hint.
485 sf-tpope 1.1041 - consume button release event in matcher (exg).
486 sf-tpope 1.1042 - keyboard accessible list of recent matches in matcher
487     (Bob Farrell).
488 sf-exg 1.1043 - properly process 'keysym' sequences in tabbed when using
489     'focus follows mouse' and the focus is on the main window
490     but not on the active terminal window (patch by Martin
491     Pohlack).
492 root 1.1059 - support for the freedesktop startup-notification protocol (patch by
493 mikachu 1.1048 Michael Stapelberg).
494 mikachu 1.1058 - the direction of VPR and VPB commands was reversed.
495 root 1.1059 - fix alignment of inherited root pixmap when it is a different size
496 mikachu 1.1057 than the root window and the terminal window is off the left or top
497     edge (Mikachu).
498 mikachu 1.1061 - make $self visible in "eval perl expression" popup action, also
499     handle exceptions better.
500 sf-exg 1.1060 - fix parsing of '-e' when it occurs as an option argument, such as in
501     'urxvt -title -e' (Emanuele Giaquinta).
502 sf-exg 1.1034
503 root 1.1033 9.12 Wed Jun 29 14:34:28 CEST 2011
504 mikachu 1.1058 - fix regression in processing of SelectionNotify events.
505     urxvt would fail to request a selection if the owner did not
506     support the UTF8_STRING target.
507     - fix rendering of double width chars in certain circumstances, more
508     likely to happen if urxvt is compiled with 256 colors support as
509 root 1.1103 urxvt runs out of fonts much earlier then. Fixes gentoo bug #358151
510 mikachu 1.1058 (Emanuele Giaquinta).
511     - restore support for 'list' syntax in keysym resources (requested by Sung Pae).
512 root 1.1028 - always premultiply colour values - while this increases differences between
513 mikachu 1.1058 core fonts and xft, it is "more correct" in practical situations.
514     - disable PTYTTY_REENTRANT option - not needed for urxvt and saves a bit of code.
515     - remove lucidatypewriter from the list of fallback fonts, it was the only
516     non-xft non-cellfont in the list anyway.
517 sf-exg 1.1026
518 sf-exg 1.1025 9.11 Mon May 2 10:34:46 CEST 2011
519 mikachu 1.1058 - fix compilation on GNU/Hurd, debian bug #624736.
520     - remove 'list' syntax for keysym resources, as it serves no useful purpose.
521     If you need it, poke us and provide a use case.
522     - fix alpha channel support. Premultiply alpha in colours if the visual
523     supports an alpha channel, as xrender expects premultiplied alpha
524     (Emanuele Giaquinta).
525     - fix reply to a selection request sent by an obsolete client
526     such as syncterm (patch by Marcin Cieslak).
527 sf-exg 1.1019 - fix crash when the window is resized and the overlay is active
528     (Emanuele Giaquinta, reported by Ryan Kavanagh).
529 mikachu 1.1058 - match character-wise rather than byte-wise in selection
530     extension again. perl 5.8.9+ is required to avoid extreme
531     slowdowns. Fixes debian bugs #523072, #616463.
532     - fix a possible crash if the INCR transfer process for a
533     selection property timeouts and at least one chunk is
534     received. (Emanuele Giaquinta)
535 sf-exg 1.1020 - work around a memory corruption bug in xorg's XrmSetDatabase (apparently
536 mikachu 1.1058 broken since http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/xorg-commit-diffs/2004-March/000239.html).
537     - fix memory corruption bug when custom command sequences bound to keys
538     were injected into an already-full pty input buffer.
539     - gdk-pixbuf is autodetected by default and preferred over libafterimage.
540     - do not prepend a newline to the selection text when the starting line
541     of the selection is not highlighted (Emanuele Giaquinta).
542 root 1.988 - don't swap perl env with real env, save and restore it, just in case
543 mikachu 1.1058 we ever get recursive perl invocations. also saves a bit of codespace
544     with gcc.
545     - fix various memory leaks (Emanuele Giaquinta).
546     - fix typo in kIC terminfo capability, debian bug #446444.
547     - document 'thickness' resource.
548     - fix debian bug #504817, to the extent possible.
549 sf-exg 1.1014 - try to detect byte order at compile time, saves a couple of
550 mikachu 1.1058 hundred bytes, if your compiler is smart enough.
551     - add support for previewing the pasted data in confirm-paste
552     (Emanuele Giaquinta).
553     - added "newlines to spaces" option in selection-popup.
554     - actually enabled solaris event ports backend (was disabled by accident).
555     - revert to 38400 baud max., mission accomplished.
556     - no longer create scary "pty_fill: PLEASE REPORT" message, instead,
557     silently drain the input (problem is well understood now).
558     - no longer swallow rob nation's own graphics mode commands.
559 root 1.988
560 root 1.987 9.10 Mon Dec 13 17:43:52 CET 2010
561 root 1.990 - the "schmorp=north korea dickey=south korea" release.
562 mikachu 1.1058 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: make OSC 20 simpler and more correct
563     (Emanuele Giaquinta).
564 root 1.982 - if options were compiled out, this could lead to the option
565 mikachu 1.1058 count to be defined wrongly. This is likely behind the
566     failures with gcc 4.5.
567     - explicitly depend on fontconfig and xrender when xft support
568     is enabled. Although the public Xft api uses types from
569     both, in Xft 2.2.0 these libs are private
570     dependencies only thanks to an idiotic behaviour of
571     pkg-config that was added to workaround cases like this one.
572     Fixes linking when using GNU ld with --as-needed or GNU gold
573     (based on patch by Jan Palus).
574     - fix minor memory leaks in urxvt and urxvtd.
575     - fix regression in urxvtd that prevented options from being correctly
576     set (reported by Michal Vaner).
577 sf-exg 1.978 - implement xterm's horribly broken 1005 mouse reporting mode,
578 mikachu 1.1058 and an alternative 1015 mode that works in non-utf-8 locales
579     and has fewer limitations.
580 sf-exg 1.977 - fix a possible bug where mouse notifications didn't work after
581 mikachu 1.1058 startup for the upper left corner.
582     - implement our own pixbuf to pixmap rendering to get rid of
583     dependency on buggy gdk-pixbuf-xlib. Only truecolor visuals
584     are supported (Emanuele Giaquinta).
585     - apply tinting before shading when both operations are requested.
586     Previously they were intermixed when lightening and the result
587     was inaccurate and confusing. Note that now a black tint yields a
588     completely black image, regardless of shading (Emanuele Giaquinta).
589     - avoid spurious redraws of the bg image when bg is transparent or
590     when using 'root' mode (Emanuele Giaquinta).
591     - fix build on XFree86.
592     - dynamically number options according to compiletime requirements.
593     For the extra saved byte. Or so. Yay.
594     - start options at one, not zero. Wastes a bit per terminal. Maybe.
595     saves 50 instruction bytes. Possibly.
596 sf-exg 1.975
597 root 1.974 9.09 Sat Nov 13 01:39:07 CET 2010
598     - NOTICE: this release updates terminfo/termcap.
599     - the bestest release ever.

604 sf-exg 1.957 - new perl extension "confirm-paste" (Emanuele Giaquinta).
605 sf-exg 1.955 - new on_tt_paste perl hook and tt_paste perl binding (Emanuele Giaquinta).
606 sf-exg 1.959 - new on_bell perl hook (Emanuele Giaquinta).
607     - searchable-scrollback no longer ignores the first line
608     (Emanuele Giaquinta).

610 sf-exg 1.954 - fix utmpx detection on upcoming FreeBSD 9.
611 sf-exg 1.953 - Use COMPOUND_TEXT encoding for WM_NAME/WM_ICON_NAME value when it
612     is not fully convertible to STRING (patch by James Cloos).
613 mikachu 1.1058 - fix a buffer overflow that would cause wrong key sequences to
614     be generated for numpad keys (introduced in 9.05).
615     - fix definition of sgr0 to work around limitations in luit.
616 root 1.947 - extend ISO 14755 5.4 mode to also print the font name of the
617     characters other than first one in the selected cell
618     (Emanuele Giaquinta).
619     - new iso14755 option to disable ISO 14755 at runtime
620 mikachu 1.1058 (Emanuele Giaquinta).
621 root 1.947 - make sure pagewise scrolling scrolls at least one line
622 mikachu 1.1058 (found by Mikachu).
623 sf-exg 1.956 - remove deprecated OSC 18 / 19 and make OSC 17 / 19 apply to
624     highlightColor / highlightTextColor (Emanuele Giaquinta).
625 sf-exg 1.945 - add highlightTextColor resource to change the foreground colour of
626 sf-exg 1.956 highlighted characters (Emanuele Giaquinta).
627 sf-exg 1.945 - make highlightColor apply also to selected cells with reverse video
628 sf-exg 1.956 but not to non selected cells with reverse video (Emanuele Giaquinta).
629 sf-exg 1.945 - remove colorRV resource (it was enabled only with frills off).
630 root 1.941 - fix numlock handling, the most longstanding bug to date (Emanuele Giaquinta).
631 mikachu 1.1058 - reduce the number of custom bits to 4, to make room
632     for 256 colours.
633 sf-exg 1.959 - add support for 256 colors (Emanuele Giaquinta, Marc Lehmann).
634 mikachu 1.1058 - add rxvt-unicode-256color terminfo and use it by default in 256 colors mode.
635     - update rxvt-unicode terminfo to state 7744 colour pairs to cover all
636     88*88 possible pairs.
637     - actually added macosx-clipboard-native, which should have been in
638     the 9.07 release but had been forgotten.
639     - fix hang if DECAWM is not set and there are not enough columns to insert a
640     character (Emanuele Giaquinta).
641     - cub1 ("backspace") will now respect wrapping when past the rightmost column,
642     working around a shortcoming of most tty line discipline's line editing.
643 sf-exg 1.935 - add support for grabbing the clipboard selection and extend
644     selection{_clear,_grab,} perl bindings to optionally work
645     on the clipboard selection (based on patch by Dana Jansens).
646 mikachu 1.1058 - no longer force CERASE to BACKSPACE - use the system default. affects
647     default value for VERASE only when no compatible setting for
648     backspacekey was given.
649     - use higher than 38400 baudrate setting, if detected.
650     - erase screen would clear to the wrong background when blinking
651     was enabled (which selects high intensity under some circumstances).
652     - scr_kill_char didn't touch the line.
653     - upgrade and port to libev-4.01.
654     - enabled solaris event ports and kqueue backends (if available).
655 sf-exg 1.930
656 root 1.928 9.07 Wed Dec 30 07:07:18 CET 2009
657 root 1.916 - port to glibc-2.10 changes (strchr etc. returning const char *
658 mikachu 1.1058 in C++), based on patches by Milos Jakubicek and Oliver Mader.
659     - the binary search algorithm to find precomposed characters
660     was faulty, skipping some possible combinations (found by
661     Mikachu).
662     - new -letterspace option, patch by Mark H. Wilkinson.
663 root 1.910 - enable --mlock option for urxvt with frills on
664 mikachu 1.1058 systems supporting it (patch by Russell Harmon).
665 root 1.908 - urxvt did not compile without frills enabled
666 mikachu 1.1058 (analysed by Matthew Rosewarne).
667     - correctly reset the mbstate after an illegal
668     input sequence when handling terminal output (Emanuele Giaquinta).
669     - avoid redrawing wide characters with combining enabled on every
670     refresh (reported by Mikachu).
671     - fix a typo preventing the ISO-646.1991 character set from being

1031     to correctly position their preedit window.
1032     - un-optimise the line clearing on newly scrolled-in lines a bit: the
1033     former reasoning was that any fg colour on default bg looks the same
1034     in empty spaces, but that's not true when reversing (e.g. selection),
1035     so also check for matching fg colours. This fixes the problem where
1036     selecting newly scrolled-in lines would exhibit wrong colours.
1037     - fix a bug in the perl interface causing focus in events to generate
1038     focus out perl events, causing bad focus effects with -pe tabbed.
1039     - fix a race resulting in a crash on exiting.
1040     - fix a with --disable-xft that caused xfreecolors to be called on
1041     colors never allocated, resulting in aborts (reported by Paco-Paco).
1042     - resources on non-initial screens weren't refetched correctly
1043     (reported by Paco-Paco).
1044     - fix a bug in xcopyarea pass and _disable_ it, as it seems not to be
1045     working in either rxvt-unicode nor in the original rxvt.
1046     - removed undocumented -exec alias for the -e option.

1055     - tab colours are now configurable and have sensible defaults
1056     (initial patch by hednod).
1057     - option menu is extendable, readline, selection and
1058     selection-autotransform can now be disabled/enabled at runtime.
1059     - forcing a configure event to tabbed subwindows with -pe tabbed, for
1060     the benefit of automove-background.
1061     - the automove-background extension added a wrong constant offset.
1062     - force refresh of XA_RESOURCE_STRING on virtual reconnect.

1080     - overlap detection was improved.
1081     - detect totally broken fonts (usually synthesized by xft).
1082     - careful mode forced refresh sometimes clashed with blinking,
1083     causing unnecessary screen redraws.
1084     - better handling of XFT combining characters.
1085     - enable antialiasing for some replacement fonts, as they
1086     might get used for other encodings which really need it, later.
1087     - remove spacing=100 from all default fonts, as this creates totally
1088     weird spacing (5 times normal) with xft.
1089     - removed iso10646 fallback, as xorgs iso10646 encoded fonts are mostly
1090     broken.
1091     - removed gnu unifont fallback, all combining characters are broken.
1092     - replace named colours by xorg's rgb.txt equivalents, to
1093     reduce round trip time on startup, and short-cut allocation
1094     of rgb:rr/gg/bb for xft.
1095     - short-cut allocation of rgb values in the xlib case
1096     (patch by Paco-Paco).
1097     - overhauled color management: smaller codesize, alpha support.
1098     - support "rgba:rrrr/gggg/bbbb/aaaa" color specifications and
1099     an "[alpha]" prefix.
1100     - try to work around Xft and Xrender forcing everything to be 100%
1101     transparent. Long Live Xft!
1102     - do not include X11/Intrinsic.h anymore, directly use
1103     Xlib/Xutil/Xresource directly.

1186     the same effect as pseudo-transparency with any pixmap.

1198     being interpreted in the locale urxvt was started.

1256     systems where non-unix ptys were used (such as most BSDs, not
1257     GNU/Linux). (found, patched and debugged by Ryan Beasley).
1258     - meta8 support was forcefully enabled in most configurations.

1373     - rxvt is now much more careful (read: slower) with potentially

1629     - fix double-wide combining characters (it might look a bit ugly,
1630     though, but common cases are handled by normalization anyways).
1631     - moved FAQ to rxvt(7), also made a copy into README.FAQ.
1632     - fix a bug(?) in the XIM destroy callback.
1633     - be more conservative when trying to register new input methods,
1634     as Xlib races might make rxvt crash. When two or more
1635     input methods are active, killing one probably still crashes rxvt
1636     due to that bug :( Thanks a lot to Kuang-che Wu for immense help

1657     - reworked rxvt-unicode terminfo to allow more efficient and less flickering
1658     screen updates with curses.
1659     - wide characters that are being halfway overwritten are now replaced
1660     by spaces.
1661     - urxvtc now transmits urxvt as default name, not urxvtc anymore
1662     (likewise for other names chosen at configure time).
1663     - disabled the automatic font lookup for unknown characters. xft
1664     is just too slow for this to work.

1666     where _real_ means the symbiosis of what I want with what I can
1667     implement. use --enable-styles.
1668     - removed 256 color mode, but enable 88 colours in all modes
1669     (88 to be compatible with 88 colour xterm which is widely
1670     supported, and most programs assume a non-iso colourtable
1671     for terminals with "odd" number of colours).

1677     speeds up output immensely in case a character cannot be found
1678     (only for non-bold right now).
1679     - fix segfault in fading code on certain escape sequences.
1680     - better default font size and style.
1681     - rxvt-unicode is now much more picky about fonts not fitting
1682     into the base font, but to offset this it will check each
1683     single character against the base font extents and will only
1684     use the characters fitting into the bounding box (+ some fudge).
1685     - characters not fitting into the base boundary box will now often
1686     be used anyways, but the following characters will be redrawn
1687     more often to avoid pixel-droppings. This is like the original
1688     rxvt pixel-dropping pass but it's much faster.
1689     - scrollColor now affects plain scrollbar (Mikael Magnusson).
1690     - fixed segfault in overlay code when height was larger than the
1691     screen height.
1692     - cursor no longer shines "through" the overlay.
1693     - 7-bit ST marker detection was broken.
1694     - scrollbar didn't come back sometimes when switching it
1695     off/on using escape sequences (Mikael Magnusson).
1696     - fix lots of colour problems with focus fading.
1697     - $COLORFGBG was not set as documented.

1710     "cannot create input context" in most cases.
1711     - fix coordinates used for Over && OffTheSpot editing to fit directly
1712     at the cursor (Over) or into the top line (Off).
1713     - reset SIGHUP and SIGPIPE handlers to default values (they were
1714 sf-exg 1.1035 previously being ignored, causing programs not to exit on window
1715 root 1.430 close).

1723     #202497). This is _not_ a bug in rxvt but rather a race
1724     condition in other programs (e.g. jed). It works by forcefully
1725     sending SIGWINCH when rxvt sees the first output from the
1726     command. This workaround isn't perfect (a slight cost to
1727     wellbehaving programs who need to resize twice), but it usually

1761     instead of being ignored.
1762     - enable some report sequences even in secure mode, such as colour
1763     queries, as they are harmless(tm).
1764     - rxvt-unicode will now try to find a matching xft font if it can't
1765     find a matching font from the fallback list. It might look ugly,
1766     but if a xft font with our character exists, rxvt will find it.
1767     - moved FreeMono to the very back of the fallback list, as some
1768     people complain it looks ugly. This is a no-win situation, though.
1769     - fixed sourceforge bug 998970, reported against aterm:
1770     "crash on -sl 0 on super small windows".
1771     - decreased memory and code size when !--enable-transparency.
1772     - SYNCCVS. backported changes done to rxvt, except for Color_ufbg,
1773     which I think is better done through fading, and libW11, which
1774     needs testing anyways.
1775     - more complete compile options help output.
1776     - Provide linear scaled colour cubes for 256 colour mode.
1777     Pass them through as rgbi rather than rgb so that Xlib can
1778     provide gamma (from per visual intensity lists) rather than
1779     providing constant gamma ourselves. Noticed by and ideas from
