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 root 1.1286 - the confirm-paste extension now offers a choice betwene pasting the original
79     or a sanitized version, and also frees up memory used to store the paste text
80     immediately.
81 sf-exg 1.1282 - fix compiling without frills.
82     - fix rewrapMode: never.
83     - fix regression that caused urxvt to no longer emit responses
84     to OSC color queries other than OSC 4 ones.
85 sf-exg 1.1283 - fix regression that caused urxvt to no longer process OSC 705.
86 root 1.1286 - restore CENTURY to be 1900 to "improve" year parsing in urclock (or at
87     least go back to the old interpretation) (based on an analysis
88     by Tommy Pettersson).
89 root 1.1284 - exec_async (used e.g. by the matcher extension to spawn processes) now
90 sf-exg 1.1287 sets the URXVT_EXT_WINDOWID variable to the window id of the terminal.
91 root 1.1285 - implement -fps option/refreshRate resource to change the default 60 Hz
92     maximum refresh limiter. I always wanted an fps option, but had to
93     wait for a user requesting it.
94 root 1.1280
95 root 1.1278 9.30 Sat 27 Nov 2021 21:07:09 CET
96     - the background extension did not initialise properly when automatically
97 root 1.1277 loaded via the OSC.
98     - new "on_attach" hook type implemented, to initialise late-loading
99     extensions.
100    
101 root 1.1276 9.29 Mon 22 Nov 2021 18:07:14 CET
102     - libptytty (http://dist.schmorp.de/libptytty/) is now a required
103     external dependency.
104 root 1.1263 - enable confirm-paste extension by default, can be disabled by e.g.
105     URxvt.perl-ext: -confirm-paste
106 sf-exg 1.1257 - Key bindings specified with the -keysym option or with resources of
107     the form URxvt*keysym work again. Such resources, as opposed to
108     resources of the form URxvt.keysym, were not officially allowed but
109     accepted, so ignoring them is considered a regression.
110 root 1.1253 - new option/resource -rm/rewrapMode, which sets the line rewrap
111     mode to auto, never or always.
112     - new option/resource -dpb/disablePasteBrackets, which can be used to
113     disable bracketed paste mode sequences, as more and more programs
114     abuse these sequences (typically in the name of security, but these
115 root 1.1255 sequences are not improving security). Also, bracketed paste mode
116     is now under frills.
117 root 1.1269 - add manpage for urclock.
118 root 1.1267 - confirm-paste wrongly considered brackets as ctrlchars (patch by
119     Jakub Wilk, debian bug #995244).
120 root 1.1245 - if urxvt cannot detect a good estimate for font width (because a font does
121 root 1.1250 not contain latin characters at all for example), it will now fall
122 sf-exg 1.1249 back to xft's max_advance_width, which works well with some fonts. It
123 root 1.1245 currently will warn about this.
124 root 1.1239 - do not render variation selectors in the default font as boxes, treat
125     them as zero-width characters.
126 root 1.1248 - change combining character architecture to allow fonts to handle
127     combining sequences on their own. This could allow future renderers
128     to be more intelligent about these sequences.
129     - use the previous enhancement to allow unicode characters outside of the
130     BMP to be rendered even without --enable-unicode3, as long as an
131     xft with the character is configured.
132     It's recommended to stay with disabled unicode3 even more now.
133     - freetype/xft have been verified to return nonsensical offsets for
134     combining characters. urxvt tries to compensate to some extent,
135     but diacritics will be slightly off in many cases, and far off in
136     some cases (e.g. input mono).
137 root 1.1254 - when checking for overlap/careful handling, take non-basefont
138     character shifts into account.
139 root 1.1263 - extensions can now request autoloading on OSC and Perl OSC sequences,
140     implement this for the background, clipboard-osc and overlay-osc
141     extensions.
142     - the background extension will now be autoloaded when the OSC 20 or 705
143     sequence is received.
144 root 1.1274 - added OSC 776 sequence to return character cell width, height and font
145     ascent, which is useful when using urxvt as slave to calculate window
146     size form or to row/column count.
147 root 1.1275 - matcher extension documentation now points out some requirements for
148     regular expressions. the default url matching regex will now try
149     to match IRLs in addition to URLs.
150 root 1.1263 - The view_start perl method now scrolls to the bottom also when the
151     argument is greater than 0.
152     - eval scroll actions now scroll to the bottom when scrolling down and
153     there are less lines to scroll than the ones requested (reported by
154     Stephen Talley).
155 root 1.1236 - allow perl-ext and perl-ext-common to override autoloaded extensions.
156 sf-exg 1.1237 this allows tabbed to disable itself in subtabs, avoiding recursive
157 root 1.1236 loading.
158 root 1.1242 - update precompose table to unicode 13.0.
159 root 1.1241 - update charset conversion tables to perl 5.32 (this only affected
160     cs_koi8_u_from_unicode).
161 root 1.1244 - unicode characters > 0x100000 were not handled correctly w.r.t.
162     font rendering.
163 root 1.1252 - replace bitstream vera by dejavu sans, as it has replaced the former
164     almost everywhere.
165 root 1.1266 - urxvt will now try tic -x first and only fall back to tic without -x
166     when tic -x fails.
167 root 1.1270 - fix urclock not erasing the old date on the clock face, causing
168     overdraw, plus a host of other small fixes and improvements.
169 root 1.1261 - shave off over 1K of code size from urclock by replacing the sine table
170     with a slightly less accurate fixed point approximation.
171 sf-exg 1.1264 - do not specify indentation with =over in pod, this is no longer
172 root 1.1262 needed with semi-modern pod tools and gives the formatter more
173     stylistic freedom.
174 sf-exg 1.1264 - background extension did not set the "size-sensitive" flag
175 root 1.1263 when repeat mode wasn't normal.
176     - extensions are now subjected to "use strict 'subs'".
177 root 1.1265 - avoid crashing when xft successfully opens a font but then somehow
178     can't lock the face.
179 root 1.1272 - locale_decode/encode api methods now pass through undef unchanged.
180 root 1.1273 - fix undefined behaviour in the perl hook function, as diagnosed by clang.
181 root 1.1236
182 root 1.1235 9.26 Fri May 14 19:14:14 CEST 2021
183     - ev_iouring.c was wrongly required during compilation, and wrongly
184     not packaged.
185    
186 root 1.1234 9.25 Fri May 14 15:51:36 CEST 2021
187 root 1.1232 - for the 17.5th anniversary, and because many distributions seem to
188     remove rxvt in favour of urxvt, this release resurrects rclock as
189     urclock.
190 sf-exg 1.1229 - add support for systemd socket-based activation - debian bug #917105,
191     freebsd bug #234276.
192 root 1.1226 - do not destruct perl on exit anymore: this might fail for a variety of
193 sf-exg 1.1238 reasons, and takes unnecessary time.
194 root 1.1232 - remove any macros from urxvtperl manpage(s), should fix debian
195     bug 858385.
196 root 1.1221 - the old bg image resources are now provided by the background
197     extension, and perl is thus required for bg image support. No
198     configuration change is needed: urxvt autoloads the background
199     ext if any bg image resource/option is present (for OSC sequences to
200 sf-exg 1.1237 work you need to enable it explicitly). The old bg image
201 root 1.1221 resources are also now deprecated; users are encouraged to
202     switch to the new bg image interface (see man urxvt-background).
203 root 1.1224 - confirm-paste now checks for any ctlchars, not just newlines.
204 root 1.1225 - searchable scrollback will now ignore bracketed paste mode sequences
205     (prompted by Daniel Gröber's patch).
206 root 1.1217 - drop ISO 2022 locale support. ISO 2022 encodings are not supported in
207 root 1.1219 POSIX locales and clash with vt100 charset emulation (the luit
208     program can be used as a substitute).
209 root 1.1222 - perl didn't parse rgba colours specified as an array correctly,
210 root 1.1223 only allowing 0 and 100% intensity for each component (this affected
211     fill and tint).
212 root 1.1221 - when iterating over resources, urxvt will now try to properly handle
213     multipart resources (such as "*background.expr"), for the benefit
214     of autoloading perl extensions.
215 root 1.1218 - ESC G (query rxvt graphics mode) has been disabled due to security
216     implications. The rxvt graphics mode was removed in rxvt-unicode 1.5,
217     and no programs relying on being able to query the mode are known.
218 root 1.1214 - work around API change breakage in perl 5.28, based on a patch by
219     Roman Bogorodskiy.
220 root 1.1210 - improved security: rob nation's (obsolete) graphics mode queries
221     no longer reply with linefeed in secure/default mode.
222 sf-exg 1.1207 - ISO 8613-3 direct colour SGR sequences (patch by Fengguang Wu).
223     - xterm focus reporting mode (patch by Daniel Hahler).
224 sf-exg 1.1228 - xterm SGR mouse mode.
225 sf-exg 1.1230 - implement DECRQM. Patch by Přemysl Eric Janouch.
226     - add missing color index parameter to OSC 4 response. Patch
227     by Přemysl Eric Janouch.
228 sf-exg 1.1208 - in some window managers, if smart resize was enabled, urxvt
229     erroneously moved the window on font change - awesome bug
230     #532, arch linux bug ##34807 (patch by Uli Schlachter).
231 sf-exg 1.1212 - fix urxvtd crash when using a background expression.
232     - properly restore colors when using fading and reverse video
233     is enabled while urxvt is focused and then disabled while it
234     is not focused, or vice versa (patch by Daniel Hahler).
235 sf-exg 1.1209 - fix high memory usage when an extension repeatedly hides and
236     shows an overlay (reported by Marcel Lautenbach).
237 root 1.1211 - expose priv_modes member and constants to perl extensions
238     (patch by Rastislav Barlik).
239 root 1.1216 - fix a whole slew of const sillyness, unfortunately forced upon
240     us by ISO C++.
241     - update to libecb 0x00010006.
242     - disable all thread support in ecb.h as we presumably don't need it.
243 root 1.1220 - slightly improve Makefile source dependencies.
244 root 1.1227 - work around bugs in newer Pod::Xhtml versions (flags incorrect formatting codes
245     in xhtml/html sections but does not interpret correct ones).
246 sf-exg 1.1207
247 root 1.1206 9.22 Sat Jan 23 21:07:33 CET 2016
248 sf-exg 1.1205 - NOTICE: this release updates terminfo.
249     - add terminfo capabilities for various ctrl and shift-ctrl key variants
250     (patch by Sebastian Schmidt).
251 root 1.1197 - fix longstanding core font encoding bug where some character
252     ranges could not be mapped from unicode to the font: affected
253     encodings are big5, gb2312, iso8859-8 (hebrew), jis0201 and
254     ksc5601 (reported by Mikachu).
255 sf-exg 1.1203 - fix crash when the number of columns is 1 and a 0 width character is inserted
256     (reported by Kuang-che Wu).
257 sf-exg 1.1202 - fix a crash when parsing an invalid color specification (reported by Kuang-che Wu).
258     - fix a buffer overflow in font name parser (reported by Kuang-che Wu).
259 sf-exg 1.1196 - do not start blinking cursor if the window is unfocused (reported by
260     Devin J. Pohly).
261 sf-exg 1.1192 - change the width of underline and i-beam cursor to 2 pixels (based on
262     a patch by Omar Sandoval).
263 sf-exg 1.1199 - add pointerShape resource to change the mouse pointer shape
264     (based on a patch by Brian Watson).
265 sf-exg 1.1191 - a keysym resource for a key which is already bound to an
266     action now properly rebinds the key.
267 sf-exg 1.1203 - do not report mouse motion events if Shift is active (patch by Daniel Hahler).
268     - put the alpha component last in responses to OSC color queries
269     (patch by Benjamin Herr).
270 sf-exg 1.1194 - the key_press hook is now invoked before processing the
271     event, as documented. This change was done in 9.21 but not
272     announced and fixes debian bugs #511377, #531751 and red hat
273     bug #1105069. Note that this change breaks a few scripts,
274     such as mark-yank-urls, which rely on the previous buggy
275     behaviour that urxvt processes the event (in particular
276     keysym bindings) before invoking the hook.
277 sf-exg 1.1191 - the tabbed extension now properly refreshes the active tab
278 sf-exg 1.1194 on a key press when the mouse pointer is outside the terminal
279 sf-exg 1.1191 window.
280 sf-exg 1.1195 - add 'lookup_keysym' perl method to lookup the action bound
281     to a key combination.
282     - a key combination bound to 'matcher:select' can now be used
283     to cycle through the matches in matcher.
284 root 1.1200 - change perl integer accessors (->width et al.) into mutators.
285 root 1.1284 - this version has ben verified to work with perl 5.8.3.
286 sf-exg 1.1191
287 root 1.1189 9.21 Wed Dec 31 14:50:03 CET 2014
288 root 1.1182 - the "moa redraw 8-bit british vintage colour management" release.
289 root 1.1173 - NOTICE: this release updates terminfo.
290 root 1.1170 - fix pixel droppings on overdraw when a secondary core font has the
291     same height but different ascent.
292 root 1.1171 - implement cvvis in terminfo as blinking cursor, to distinguish it
293     from cnorm (emacs uses cvvis which is commonly a blinking cursor).
294 root 1.1190 - when xft support was compiled in, colour queries erroneously returned
295 root 1.1183 premultiplied values, this also affected internal queries, for example
296 root 1.1190 when calculating faded colour. alpha is now divided out when possible,
297     which is more correct but loses colour resolution.
298 root 1.1173 - add DECSCUSR xterm extension to set the cursor to a vertical bar.
299 sf-exg 1.1166 - add 'extension:string' action, and associated on_action perl
300     hook, for keysym resources that invokes actions provided by
301     perl extensions. The 'perl:string' action and
302     on_user_command hook are deprecated but still supported.
303 sf-exg 1.1165 - add 'builtin-string' action for keysym resources that restores string
304     mappings for keys that have predefined actions in urxvt.
305     - add -k option to urxvtc for killing the daemon process.
306 root 1.1187 - document urxvtd's -e/--eval option that was implemented in 9.16,
307     but not documented.
308 sf-exg 1.1165 - add -dockapp option to make the wm treat urxvt as a dockapp.
309 sf-exg 1.1166 - add -mc option and multiClickTime resource to set the maximum time
310 sf-exg 1.1158 between multi-click select events (patch by Joe Peterson).
311 sf-exg 1.1166 - new 'eval' extension to evaluate arbitrary perl code with keysym
312 sf-exg 1.1153 bindings. The extension also provides methods that implement basic
313     actions, such as pasting selections and scrolling.
314     - the macosx-clipboard and macosx-clipboard-native extensions have been removed.
315 root 1.1149 - kuake extension now uses the kuake.hotkey resource to specify the hotkey.
316 sf-exg 1.1157 - new 'matcher:select' mode of matcher to iterate over the matches with the keyboard.
317 sf-exg 1.1154 - the 'matcher:list' feature of matcher now honours the launcher
318     associated to a matched pattern.
319 sf-exg 1.1168 - speed-up matcher underlining on very long lines (reported by Edward Z. Yang).
320     - fix up/down commands of searchable-scrollback so that they always move
321 sf-exg 1.1156 to the previous/next logical line with a match, if any.
322 root 1.1149 - searchable-scrollback resource has been deprecated (use keysym instead).
323 sf-exg 1.1150 - extension parameter passing is deprecated (use resource mechanism instead).
324 root 1.1152 - upgrade to GPLv3 (see COPYING).
325 sf-exg 1.1168 - compile out of the box on Solaris 10, again.
326 sf-exg 1.1166 - fix height and position of the stippled area in next scrollbar (patch
327 sf-exg 1.1155 by Thomas Otto).
328 root 1.1160 - fix off-by-one bug causing the iso14755 window not to jump out of the

338 root 1.1190 - greatly improve colour allocation on colour-starved pseudocolour
339 root 1.1177 displays to avoid read-write cells instead of simply failing
340     (this is only relevant for antique 8bpp frame buffers).
341 root 1.1178 - do not free fade colours when not doing fading (this is likely
342     only relevant for antique 8bpp frame buffers).
343 root 1.1179 - do not specialcase 2 or 4 colour visuals, leading to
344     simpler and actually more correct code.
345 root 1.1190 - hopefully no longer leak colours on !truecolour visuals.
346 root 1.1180 - use consistent method names (scr_recolour => scr_recolor).
347 root 1.1181 - use simpler (but slightly less bogus) formula for nearest
348     colour choice (this is likely only relevant for antique 8bpp
349     frame buffers).
350 root 1.1182 - remove fallback behaviour when initialising colours - the
351 sf-exg 1.1185 behaviour was inconsistent between startup vs. later and
352 root 1.1182 was only effective when valid colours couldn't be allocated.

425     warn when we can't get the requested visual.
426     - new env variable: RXVT_PERL_LIB.
427     - allocate all screen memory in one go and let the virtual memory

460 mikachu 1.1058 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: the "list" keysym expansion now requires
461     loading of the "keysym-list" perl extension.
462 sf-exg 1.1038 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: A scale value of 0 in the bg image
463     geometry no longer enables tiling, so as to make it possible
464     to disable both scaling and tiling.
465 mikachu 1.1058 - overhaul of the bg image operations. The old operations have
466     been deprecated in favour of elementary operations and
467     styles built on top of the new operations and scale/position
468     settings. (Emanuele Giaquinta).
469     - support for libafterimage is deprecated and will be removed
470     in the next release.
471     - fix a crash caused by selection_check not properly resetting
472     out-of-bounds mark values (can happen when extending a selection
473     while scrolling up in curses programs for example).
474     - do not move the selection when scrolling up and the selection is
475     outside the scrolling region (Emanuele Giaquinta).
476     - fix display of bold bright black (reported by Ben Winslow).
477     - fix memory leak when urgentOnBell is set (patch by Nathaniel
478     Filardo).
479     - fix a redraw bug that occurs when a bg pixmap is set and the
480     wm does not honour the size hints set by urxvt. Now urxvt
481     forces the size of the terminal window to be a multiple of
482     the cell size.
483 sf-exg 1.1034 - sanitise the argument of SD / SU sequences. Fixes a possible
484     crash when the argument is big enough, red hat bug #711137
485     (Emanuele Giaquinta).
486 mikachu 1.1058 - correctly split long lines when scrolling.
487 sf-exg 1.1051 - urxvt now looks for perl extensions also in $HOME/.urxvt/ext.
488     - add bell-command perl extension to execute a command when a
489     bell event occurs (Ryan Kavanagh).
490 sf-exg 1.1055 - add set_urgency perl binding to set/reset the urgency hint.
491 sf-tpope 1.1041 - consume button release event in matcher (exg).
492 sf-tpope 1.1042 - keyboard accessible list of recent matches in matcher
493     (Bob Farrell).
494 sf-exg 1.1043 - properly process 'keysym' sequences in tabbed when using
495     'focus follows mouse' and the focus is on the main window
496     but not on the active terminal window (patch by Martin
497     Pohlack).
498 root 1.1059 - support for the freedesktop startup-notification protocol (patch by
499 mikachu 1.1048 Michael Stapelberg).
500 mikachu 1.1058 - the direction of VPR and VPB commands was reversed.
501 root 1.1059 - fix alignment of inherited root pixmap when it is a different size
502 mikachu 1.1057 than the root window and the terminal window is off the left or top
503     edge (Mikachu).
504 mikachu 1.1061 - make $self visible in "eval perl expression" popup action, also
505     handle exceptions better.
506 sf-exg 1.1060 - fix parsing of '-e' when it occurs as an option argument, such as in
507     'urxvt -title -e' (Emanuele Giaquinta).

509 root 1.1033 9.12 Wed Jun 29 14:34:28 CEST 2011
510 mikachu 1.1058 - fix regression in processing of SelectionNotify events.
511     urxvt would fail to request a selection if the owner did not
512     support the UTF8_STRING target.
513     - fix rendering of double width chars in certain circumstances, more
514     likely to happen if urxvt is compiled with 256 colors support as
515 root 1.1103 urxvt runs out of fonts much earlier then. Fixes gentoo bug #358151
516 mikachu 1.1058 (Emanuele Giaquinta).
517     - restore support for 'list' syntax in keysym resources (requested by Sung Pae).
518 root 1.1028 - always premultiply colour values - while this increases differences between
519 mikachu 1.1058 core fonts and xft, it is "more correct" in practical situations.
520     - disable PTYTTY_REENTRANT option - not needed for urxvt and saves a bit of code.
521     - remove lucidatypewriter from the list of fallback fonts, it was the only
522     non-xft non-cellfont in the list anyway.
523 sf-exg 1.1026
524 sf-exg 1.1025 9.11 Mon May 2 10:34:46 CEST 2011

526     - remove 'list' syntax for keysym resources, as it serves no useful purpose.
527     If you need it, poke us and provide a use case.
528     - fix alpha channel support. Premultiply alpha in colours if the visual
529     supports an alpha channel, as xrender expects premultiplied alpha
530     (Emanuele Giaquinta).
531     - fix reply to a selection request sent by an obsolete client
532     such as syncterm (patch by Marcin Cieslak).
533 sf-exg 1.1019 - fix crash when the window is resized and the overlay is active
534     (Emanuele Giaquinta, reported by Ryan Kavanagh).
535 mikachu 1.1058 - match character-wise rather than byte-wise in selection
536     extension again. perl 5.8.9+ is required to avoid extreme
537     slowdowns. Fixes debian bugs #523072, #616463.
538     - fix a possible crash if the INCR transfer process for a
539     selection property timeouts and at least one chunk is
540     received. (Emanuele Giaquinta)
541 sf-exg 1.1020 - work around a memory corruption bug in xorg's XrmSetDatabase (apparently
542 mikachu 1.1058 broken since http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/xorg-commit-diffs/2004-March/000239.html).
543     - fix memory corruption bug when custom command sequences bound to keys
544     were injected into an already-full pty input buffer.
545     - gdk-pixbuf is autodetected by default and preferred over libafterimage.
546     - do not prepend a newline to the selection text when the starting line
547     of the selection is not highlighted (Emanuele Giaquinta).
548 root 1.988 - don't swap perl env with real env, save and restore it, just in case
549 mikachu 1.1058 we ever get recursive perl invocations. also saves a bit of codespace
550     with gcc.
551     - fix various memory leaks (Emanuele Giaquinta).
552     - fix typo in kIC terminfo capability, debian bug #446444.
553     - document 'thickness' resource.
554     - fix debian bug #504817, to the extent possible.
555 sf-exg 1.1014 - try to detect byte order at compile time, saves a couple of
556 mikachu 1.1058 hundred bytes, if your compiler is smart enough.
557     - add support for previewing the pasted data in confirm-paste
558     (Emanuele Giaquinta).
559     - added "newlines to spaces" option in selection-popup.
560     - actually enabled solaris event ports backend (was disabled by accident).
561     - revert to 38400 baud max., mission accomplished.
562     - no longer create scary "pty_fill: PLEASE REPORT" message, instead,
563     silently drain the input (problem is well understood now).
564     - no longer swallow rob nation's own graphics mode commands.
565 root 1.988
566 root 1.987 9.10 Mon Dec 13 17:43:52 CET 2010

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

620     be generated for numpad keys (introduced in 9.05).
621     - fix definition of sgr0 to work around limitations in luit.

626 mikachu 1.1058 (Emanuele Giaquinta).

628 mikachu 1.1058 (found by Mikachu).
629 sf-exg 1.956 - remove deprecated OSC 18 / 19 and make OSC 17 / 19 apply to
630     highlightColor / highlightTextColor (Emanuele Giaquinta).
631 sf-exg 1.945 - add highlightTextColor resource to change the foreground colour of
632 sf-exg 1.956 highlighted characters (Emanuele Giaquinta).
633 sf-exg 1.945 - make highlightColor apply also to selected cells with reverse video
634 sf-exg 1.956 but not to non selected cells with reverse video (Emanuele Giaquinta).
635 sf-exg 1.945 - remove colorRV resource (it was enabled only with frills off).
636 root 1.941 - fix numlock handling, the most longstanding bug to date (Emanuele Giaquinta).
637 mikachu 1.1058 - reduce the number of custom bits to 4, to make room
638     for 256 colours.
639 sf-exg 1.959 - add support for 256 colors (Emanuele Giaquinta, Marc Lehmann).
640 mikachu 1.1058 - add rxvt-unicode-256color terminfo and use it by default in 256 colors mode.
641     - update rxvt-unicode terminfo to state 7744 colour pairs to cover all
642     88*88 possible pairs.
643     - actually added macosx-clipboard-native, which should have been in
644     the 9.07 release but had been forgotten.
645     - fix hang if DECAWM is not set and there are not enough columns to insert a
646     character (Emanuele Giaquinta).
647     - cub1 ("backspace") will now respect wrapping when past the rightmost column,
648     working around a shortcoming of most tty line discipline's line editing.
649 sf-exg 1.935 - add support for grabbing the clipboard selection and extend
650     selection{_clear,_grab,} perl bindings to optionally work
651     on the clipboard selection (based on patch by Dana Jansens).
652 mikachu 1.1058 - no longer force CERASE to BACKSPACE - use the system default. affects
653     default value for VERASE only when no compatible setting for
654     backspacekey was given.
655     - use higher than 38400 baudrate setting, if detected.
656     - erase screen would clear to the wrong background when blinking
657     was enabled (which selects high intensity under some circumstances).
658     - scr_kill_char didn't touch the line.
659     - upgrade and port to libev-4.01.

690     - assertions in libev are now enabled depending on frills.
691     - update AnyEvent implementation to version 5.23 API.
692     - work around arrogant bsd idiocies again: netbsd spills the default
693     namespace with lots of symbols "for gnu/gcc compatibility" even
694     though neither of them does it, and then calls the rest of the world
695     in need of fixing. go figure.
696     - on_keyboard_command is on_user_command (patch by Michael Witten).
697     - setting the selection from perl will now reset the selection screen

1033 mikachu 1.1058 changes (for kde's benefit) at the expense of extra round-trips,
1034     improve size hint setting.
1035     - modified XIM according to a patch sent by Takano Akio that sets
1036     the preedit rectangle for OverTheSpot, which helps some input methods
1037     to correctly position their preedit window.
1038     - un-optimise the line clearing on newly scrolled-in lines a bit: the
1039     former reasoning was that any fg colour on default bg looks the same
1040     in empty spaces, but that's not true when reversing (e.g. selection),
1041     so also check for matching fg colours. This fixes the problem where
1042     selecting newly scrolled-in lines would exhibit wrong colours.
1043     - fix a bug in the perl interface causing focus in events to generate
1044     focus out perl events, causing bad focus effects with -pe tabbed.
1045     - fix a race resulting in a crash on exiting.
1046     - fix a with --disable-xft that caused xfreecolors to be called on
1047     colors never allocated, resulting in aborts (reported by Paco-Paco).
1048     - resources on non-initial screens weren't refetched correctly
1049     (reported by Paco-Paco).
1050     - fix a bug in xcopyarea pass and _disable_ it, as it seems not to be
1051     working in either rxvt-unicode nor in the original rxvt.
1052     - removed undocumented -exec alias for the -e option.

1056 mikachu 1.1058 - +option now really sets the option to default, instead of using the
1057     resource value.
1058     - options that require an argument now really _require_ an argument.
1059     - the tabbed extension now forwards focus and key events to the
1060     relevant tab window.
1061     - tab colours are now configurable and have sensible defaults
1062     (initial patch by hednod).
1063     - option menu is extendable, readline, selection and
1064     selection-autotransform can now be disabled/enabled at runtime.
1065     - forcing a configure event to tabbed subwindows with -pe tabbed, for
1066     the benefit of automove-background.
1067     - the automove-background extension added a wrong constant offset.
1068     - force refresh of XA_RESOURCE_STRING on virtual reconnect.
1069     - return exit status 2 in urxvtc when urxvtd couldn't be contacted.
1070     - the linux yield hack is back, now using usleep, and enabled only on

1072     - further round trip eliminations in the !XFT case by remembering
1073     the colour components.
1074     - plain scrollbar works better with -sr.
1075     - fixed half-shadow scrollbar look.
1076     - more colour rtt optimisations.
1077     - properly(?) free colours on window close.
1078     - reorganised the FAQ into multiple sections.

1083 mikachu 1.1058 - further improvements to the careful mode detection, and font width
1084     detection:
1085     - fully double-wide fonts will now be correctly treated,
1086     - overlap detection was improved.
1087     - detect totally broken fonts (usually synthesized by xft).
1088     - careful mode forced refresh sometimes clashed with blinking,
1089     causing unnecessary screen redraws.
1090     - better handling of XFT combining characters.
1091     - enable antialiasing for some replacement fonts, as they
1092     might get used for other encodings which really need it, later.
1093     - remove spacing=100 from all default fonts, as this creates totally
1094     weird spacing (5 times normal) with xft.
1095     - removed iso10646 fallback, as xorgs iso10646 encoded fonts are mostly
1096     broken.
1097     - removed gnu unifont fallback, all combining characters are broken.
1098     - replace named colours by xorg's rgb.txt equivalents, to
1099     reduce round trip time on startup, and short-cut allocation
1100     of rgb:rr/gg/bb for xft.
1101     - short-cut allocation of rgb values in the xlib case
1102     (patch by Paco-Paco).
1103     - overhauled color management: smaller codesize, alpha support.
1104     - support "rgba:rrrr/gggg/bbbb/aaaa" color specifications and
1105     an "[alpha]" prefix.
1106     - try to work around Xft and Xrender forcing everything to be 100%
1107     transparent. Long Live Xft!
1108     - do not include X11/Intrinsic.h anymore, directly use
1109     Xlib/Xutil/Xresource directly.

1111     on a pseudocolor screen.

1134     - moved Shift-Button2 paste combination to Meta-Button2.
1135     - the cutchars resource will now be respected and used by the
1136     selection extension.
1137     - added the "remote-clipboard" extension which just runs external
1138     commands to fetch and store the selection data.
1139     - added -depth switch that tries to get a different visual depth
1140     than the default (replaces the old PREFER_24_BIT logic).
1141     - removed (unused) arabic presentation form composing sequences.
1142     - be more strict when deciding that a core font glyph is too wide and
1143     needs the careful rendering mode.
1144     - allow more leeway for italic fonts when deciding that a character is
1145     too wide and needs careful mode.

1162     the primary screen.
1163     - bugfix: reducing window size while large amounts of text were output
1164     could lead to an assertion failure.
1165     - added "tabbed" extension that provides a crude tabbed terminal.
1166     - added "readline" extension that allows cursor positioning

1170 mikachu 1.1058 - fixed the automove-background extension to ignore coordinates
1171     in non-synthetic events.
1172     - created a separate libpty for portable and secure
1173     pty/tty/utmp/wtmp/lastlog handling, and include it in rxvt-unicode.
1174     - the non-terminfo visual bell now works asynchronously, so
1175     continuous ASCI BELs in one terminal do no longer monopolise the
1176     whole urxvt[d] process.
1177     - support some *BSD makes (for the time being, gnu make is a safe bet).

1184     improved by moving privileged operations into a separate process
1185     and permanently dropping privileges within the terminal. This
1186     makes it possible to remove security checks from the perl code
1187     and gives a much safer feeling when urxvt needs to run with
1188     special privileges.
1189     - perl taint checking disabled, as urxvt no longer runs setuid/setgid
1190     itself.
1191     - new perl extension automove-background that can be used to get
1192     the same effect as pseudo-transparency with any pixmap.
1193     - new perl extension example: perl/selection-pastebin, can be used to
1194     e.g. upload the selection to a webserver and generate a url, or

1201     code was O(n²), which equals infinity in some degenerate cases
1202     :-> Matching is now done on UTF-8, which makes it almost instant.
1203     - perl/selection, perl/selection-autotransform: regexes are now
1204     being interpreted in the locale urxvt was started.
1205     - implemented override-redirect option and enabled it on menus,
1206     as kwin puts our windows behind the terminal (what a shoddy wm).

1227     - selection, searchable-scrollback, selection-popup and
1228     option-popup extensions enabled by default.
1229     - increased xft drawing speed for problematic fonts. The effect
1230     will likely be small as 99% of the xft slowness is server-related.
1231     - perl: much increased functionality, better overlays, popup support
1232     and much much more.
1233     - perl: urxvt::line now can set via ->t and ->r.
1234     - perl: changed interpretation of --perl-ext-common and -pe.
1235     - perl: finally implemented --perl-eval.
1236     - perl: non-blocking anyevent support.
1237     - perl: run tainted and ignore perl-eval/perl-lib if started
1238     setuid/setgid.
1239     - free the resource database: this plugs a massive memory leak. As a
1240     side effect, it also gets rid of XGetDefault calls.
1241     - free one of the cursors, fixes a small memory leak.
1242     - built-in (as opposed to terminfos) visual bell was broken/too fast.
1243     - applied minor cleanups by Ladislav Michnovic.
1244     - applied pty handling cleanups and improvements (Emanuele Giaquinta).

1247     compatible, and not really small either.
1248     - removed PATH_ENV and PATH file search support.
1249     - removed support for locale-specific app-defaults file.

1258 mikachu 1.1058 - SECURITY FIX: on systems using openpty, permissions were
1259     not correctly updated on the tty device and were left as
1260     world-readable and world-writable (likely in original rxvt,
1261     too), and were not restored properly. Affected are only
1262     systems where non-unix ptys were used (such as most BSDs, not
1263     GNU/Linux). (found, patched and debugged by Ryan Beasley).
1264     - meta8 support was forcefully enabled in most configurations.
1265     restored configurability of this (useless) feature (reported
1266     by Mikachu).
1267     - optionally embed a perl interpreter, which can be used for more
1268     intelligent/customized selection support, visual feedback,
1269     menus, tabs etc. See the the urxvtperl manpage, the -pe option,
1270     perl*-resources and keysym resources. Not everything is there yet.
1271     - try to be more clever about differing font sizes and their ascent.
1272     Not guaranteed to work, but works better in most cases now.
1273     - fix directory permissions on install.
1274     - implemented option to disable built-in line drawing characters
1275     and fall back to the font ones (patch by Martin Pohlack).
1276     - disabled sched_yield support: the linux version is just too useless
1277     (it schedules nice'd processes before the own one for extended
1278     periods). Too bad, it could reduce system time by a factor of 5 here.

1292     transfer efficiency.

1298 mikachu 1.1058 while the user still drags.

1303     - iso14755 overlay position was wrong.
1304     - iso14755 overlay now displays rendition info, too.
1305     - use unicode white space class instead of hardcoded values for
1306     stripping whitespace.

1318     - bump max columns/rows to 10000 each.

1375     Affects display in iso14755 box.
1376     - rewrote the low-level xft drawing function ("xft backend" for the
1377     hipper parts of the world) to hopefully cope better with proportional
1378     chars mixed with fixed-width ones.
1379     - rxvt is now much more careful (read: slower) with potentially
1380     overlapping xft characters. It usually overshoots and redraws
1381     more than required, but that's better than undershooting and
1382     cutting pieces off of characters.

1630     for windows not requesting XIM. Please report if this change
1631     causes any harm (specially with pointerblanking)
1632     (patch by Kuang-che Wu).
1633     - send the input method spot position on every refresh, not just
1634     when rxvt thinks it should (which was not often enough...).
1635     - fix double-wide combining characters (it might look a bit ugly,
1636     though, but common cases are handled by normalization anyways).
1637     - moved FAQ to rxvt(7), also made a copy into README.FAQ.
1638     - fix a bug(?) in the XIM destroy callback.
1639     - be more conservative when trying to register new input methods,
1640     as Xlib races might make rxvt crash. When two or more
1641     input methods are active, killing one probably still crashes rxvt
1642     due to that bug :( Thanks a lot to Kuang-che Wu for immense help

1659 sf-exg 1.1035 - fixed a segfault when trying to load nonexistent fonts (reported

1661     - fixed a long-standing rxvt bug in which rxvt failed to save

1663     - reworked rxvt-unicode terminfo to allow more efficient and less flickering
1664     screen updates with curses.
1665     - wide characters that are being halfway overwritten are now replaced
1666     by spaces.
1667     - urxvtc now transmits urxvt as default name, not urxvtc anymore
1668     (likewise for other names chosen at configure time).
1669     - disabled the automatic font lookup for unknown characters. xft
1670     is just too slow for this to work.
1671     - changed realbold code, implemented _real_ bold and italic support,
1672     where _real_ means the symbiosis of what I want with what I can
1673     implement. use --enable-styles.
1674     - removed 256 color mode, but enable 88 colours in all modes
1675     (88 to be compatible with 88 colour xterm which is widely
1676     supported, and most programs assume a non-iso colourtable
1677     for terminals with "odd" number of colours).
1678     - added doc/etc/rxvt-unicode.terminfo which is a big overhaul

1682     - implement positive and negative character-font caching, which
1683     speeds up output immensely in case a character cannot be found
1684     (only for non-bold right now).
1685     - fix segfault in fading code on certain escape sequences.
1686     - better default font size and style.
1687     - rxvt-unicode is now much more picky about fonts not fitting
1688     into the base font, but to offset this it will check each
1689     single character against the base font extents and will only
1690     use the characters fitting into the bounding box (+ some fudge).
1691     - characters not fitting into the base boundary box will now often
1692     be used anyways, but the following characters will be redrawn
1693     more often to avoid pixel-droppings. This is like the original
1694     rxvt pixel-dropping pass but it's much faster.
1695     - scrollColor now affects plain scrollbar (Mikael Magnusson).
1696     - fixed segfault in overlay code when height was larger than the
1697     screen height.
1698     - cursor no longer shines "through" the overlay.
1699     - 7-bit ST marker detection was broken.
1700     - scrollbar didn't come back sometimes when switching it
1701     off/on using escape sequences (Mikael Magnusson).
1702     - fix lots of colour problems with focus fading.
1703     - $COLORFGBG was not set as documented.

1718     at the cursor (Over) or into the top line (Off).
1719     - reset SIGHUP and SIGPIPE handlers to default values (they were
1720 sf-exg 1.1035 previously being ignored, causing programs not to exit on window
1721 root 1.430 close).

1729     #202497). This is _not_ a bug in rxvt but rather a race
1730     condition in other programs (e.g. jed). It works by forcefully
1731     sending SIGWINCH when rxvt sees the first output from the
1732     command. This workaround isn't perfect (a slight cost to
1733     wellbehaving programs who need to resize twice), but it usually

1762     added there.
1763     - reference documentation is now installed as rxvt(7).
1764     - rxvt(7) now contains README.configure, which is autogenerated.
1765 root 1.168 - fix memory leak in insecure mode on certain display echos.
1766 root 1.430 - report sequences now report empty strings in secure mode
1767     instead of being ignored.
1768     - enable some report sequences even in secure mode, such as colour
1769     queries, as they are harmless(tm).
1770     - rxvt-unicode will now try to find a matching xft font if it can't
1771     find a matching font from the fallback list. It might look ugly,
1772     but if a xft font with our character exists, rxvt will find it.
1773     - moved FreeMono to the very back of the fallback list, as some
1774     people complain it looks ugly. This is a no-win situation, though.
1775     - fixed sourceforge bug 998970, reported against aterm:
1776     "crash on -sl 0 on super small windows".
1777     - decreased memory and code size when !--enable-transparency.
1778     - SYNCCVS. backported changes done to rxvt, except for Color_ufbg,
1779     which I think is better done through fading, and libW11, which
1780     needs testing anyways.
1781     - more complete compile options help output.
1782     - Provide linear scaled colour cubes for 256 colour mode.
1783     Pass them through as rgbi rather than rgb so that Xlib can
1784     provide gamma (from per visual intensity lists) rather than
1785     providing constant gamma ourselves. Noticed by and ideas from
1786     Christopher Casey <realchriscasey@hotmail.com>

1809     - changed interpretation and usage of shading (-sh).

1846 root 1.430 (reported by elmex).
1847     - find more fonts by default for japanese.

1893     window colour when arg is "?".
1894     - enable colour tinting of "transparent" backgrounds.
1895     - stop ST sequences earlier, as we now react on 0x90 and thus
1896     cause conditions more often that look like locks but are, in
1897     fact, just rxvt waiting for a ST/BEL etc.
1898     - re-enabled most of the "dangerous" echo escapes, but only
1899     when -insecure is specified as option or resource (see reference).
1900     (FRILLS).
1901     - disables sleep(1) on transparency updates on default.

1945 root 1.430 - a typoe prevented characters >65535 to be stored properly.

1987 root 1.430 - implemented sharing of X connections. will be used to speed
1988     up many x operations considerably. Also saves some memory.
1989     - implemented caching of input methods. This immensely shortens
1990     startup time for new terms in rxvtd. At least XFree86 4.3 is
1991     rather broken with respect to input methods, though, so expect

1993     - fix bugs in X flushing, causing an empty screen after startup.
1994     - fix various memleaks in rxvtd.

2005     - correct cursor width if !focus.
2006     - fixed --enable-xgetdefault, reported by eduard bloch.
2007 root 1.444 - added manpage for rxvtc/rxvtd based on the one eduard bloch
2008 root 1.430 contributed.

2021     - fix an error condition when rxvt receives more than one screenful
2022     of output. should occur with original rxvt, too, but very rarely.
2023     (I guess the code contains more surprises of this sort...)
2024 pcg 1.19

2028     color + bold as high-intensity, and let the selection
2029     use reverse video, not _blink_.
2030     - remove OPTION_HC, at least temporarily. If you want it back,
