2    
3 root 1.933 TODO: xcopyarea pass broken, fix and improve
4     TODO: event mechanism that replaces on_user_command with something more scalable.
5     TODO: slipwheeling needs a keyboard grab to get key release events.
6     TODO: overlays collide with the way the out-of-focus cursor is being drawn
7     TODO: "slow" rendering mode for bidi and scripts, pango!
8     TODO: read property sequence is broken with respect to utf-8 etc.
9     TODO: slow drag selection on remote display - other things seem fast (rxvt illness, motion hints?)
10     TODO: better resource handling for tabbar in -pe tabbed.
11     WISH: investigate -pe tabbed -g 80x25 being 23 not 24 or 25 lines
12     => when setting the constraints, the wm might (correctly)
13     resize the outer window, which might result in a smaller window overall.
14     or something like that. guys, send me a patch.
15     WISH: coloured pastebin
16     WISH: load system-wide config file even if we don't have one
17     WISH: look into XAddConnectionWatch, does anybody need that?
18     DUMB: support tex fonts

40 root 1.1286 TODO: pixel droppins idenrasm,ll,scrollup
41 root 1.1210 TODO: cuu/cud and probably others default to 1 when arg is 0, not just missing, in xterm/vt102, but not in rxvt

43 root 1.1222 TODO: think about daemon delaying urxvt client exit.
44 root 1.1248 IDEA: use harfbuzz to render combining sequences, maybe also complex scripts
45 root 1.1280 TODO: rclock horribly time-biased
46 root 1.1296 TODO: rclock iso date mode?
47 root 1.1286 TODO: printf "\e[4:3m" - "undercurl" - should probbaly be interpreted as underline, rather than \e[43m
48 root 1.1300 TODO: feature where I can just click on (y/p/n) when prompted after pasting text to the terminal?
49    
50     TODO: 08:11:16 <dg> in some cases printf "\e]50;\a" can be a crash
51     08:11:50 <dg> it seems to depend a bit on setup, two in a row maybe needed
52     - what font dpes urxvtr flal back ion this case? why not fixed?
53     07:28:56 <dg> schmorp: try printf '\e]50;\a\xe7\xaf\xad'
54     07:29:15 <dg> i'm guessing the builtin font doesn't have that character (篭)
55     07:29:40 <dg> on one machine with 9.30 that segfaults, with what looks like a null pointer deref
56     07:29:58 <dg> on latest dev, but a different machine it hangs
57     07:33:26 <dg> hmm, and on openbsd it doesn't even hang with that reduction, but the actual case the fuzzer
58     found does hang
59     07:34:02 <dg> curl -o - dg.cx/f12-afl-urxvt-id0-src517.txt
60 root 1.1280
61 root 1.1297 TODO: nmeum reports that when the wm resizes urxvt while it opens, the prompt is now somewhere in the middle
62     of the window, rather than near the top. this behaviour change wss part of the wrapmode fix, and should normally
63     prevent from readline jumping around on resizes. running urxvt with the exact geometry that the wm will assign "fixed" this.
64     https://github.com/exg/rxvt-unicode/commit/1eb2c326cb88ee7bae01e995a16829746bfe374e
65 sf-exg 1.1299
66     - fix reference counting of values returned by some perl bindings.
67     - fix OSC responses with 7-bit ST (reported by Stuart Henderson).
68     - change the encoding of buttons 8-11 in mouse reporting
69     sequences to match xterm's and enable reporting of release
70     events for them (patch by Pierre-Marc Fournier).
71     - clamp coordinates in mouse reporting sequences to the number
72     of rows and columns (patch by Nick Hanley).
73 root 1.1300 - added Alt_L/ALt_R and updated some keys in iso 14755 5.2 mode.
74 sf-exg 1.1299
75 root 1.1295 9.31 Mon 02 Jan 2023 18:13:16 CET
76 root 1.1284 - implement a fix for CVE-2022-4170 (reported and analyzed by David Leadbeater).
77     While present in version 9.30, it should not be exploitable. It is exploitable
78 root 1.1289 in versions 9.25 and 9.26, at least, and allows anybody controlling output to
79     the terminal to execute arbitrary code in the urxvt process.
80 root 1.1280 - the background extension no longer requires off focus fading support
81     to be compiled in.
82 root 1.1297 - the confirm-paste extension now offers a choice between pasting the original
83 root 1.1286 or a sanitized version, and also frees up memory used to store the paste text
84     immediately.
85 sf-exg 1.1282 - fix compiling without frills.
86     - fix rewrapMode: never.
87     - fix regression that caused urxvt to no longer emit responses
88     to OSC color queries other than OSC 4 ones.
89 sf-exg 1.1283 - fix regression that caused urxvt to no longer process OSC 705.
90 root 1.1286 - restore CENTURY to be 1900 to "improve" year parsing in urclock (or at
91     least go back to the old interpretation) (based on an analysis
92     by Tommy Pettersson).
93 root 1.1284 - exec_async (used e.g. by the matcher extension to spawn processes) now
94 sf-exg 1.1287 sets the URXVT_EXT_WINDOWID variable to the window id of the terminal.
95 root 1.1285 - implement -fps option/refreshRate resource to change the default 60 Hz
96     maximum refresh limiter. I always wanted an fps option, but had to
97     wait for a user requesting it.
98 root 1.1291 - new clickthrough extension.
99 root 1.1290 - perl now also requires Xext.
100     - X region and shape extension functionality has been exposed to perl
101     extensions.
102     - RENDER extension no longer depends on ENABLE_XIM_ONTHESPOT.
103 root 1.1280
104 root 1.1278 9.30 Sat 27 Nov 2021 21:07:09 CET
105     - the background extension did not initialise properly when automatically
106 root 1.1277 loaded via the OSC.
107     - new "on_attach" hook type implemented, to initialise late-loading
108     extensions.
109    
110 root 1.1276 9.29 Mon 22 Nov 2021 18:07:14 CET
111     - libptytty (http://dist.schmorp.de/libptytty/) is now a required
112     external dependency.
113 root 1.1263 - enable confirm-paste extension by default, can be disabled by e.g.
114     URxvt.perl-ext: -confirm-paste
115 sf-exg 1.1257 - Key bindings specified with the -keysym option or with resources of
116     the form URxvt*keysym work again. Such resources, as opposed to
117     resources of the form URxvt.keysym, were not officially allowed but
118     accepted, so ignoring them is considered a regression.
119 root 1.1253 - new option/resource -rm/rewrapMode, which sets the line rewrap
120     mode to auto, never or always.
121     - new option/resource -dpb/disablePasteBrackets, which can be used to
122     disable bracketed paste mode sequences, as more and more programs
123     abuse these sequences (typically in the name of security, but these
124 root 1.1255 sequences are not improving security). Also, bracketed paste mode
125     is now under frills.
126 root 1.1269 - add manpage for urclock.
127 root 1.1267 - confirm-paste wrongly considered brackets as ctrlchars (patch by
128     Jakub Wilk, debian bug #995244).
129 root 1.1245 - if urxvt cannot detect a good estimate for font width (because a font does
130 root 1.1250 not contain latin characters at all for example), it will now fall
131 sf-exg 1.1249 back to xft's max_advance_width, which works well with some fonts. It
132 root 1.1245 currently will warn about this.
133 root 1.1239 - do not render variation selectors in the default font as boxes, treat
134     them as zero-width characters.
135 root 1.1248 - change combining character architecture to allow fonts to handle
136     combining sequences on their own. This could allow future renderers
137     to be more intelligent about these sequences.
138     - use the previous enhancement to allow unicode characters outside of the
139     BMP to be rendered even without --enable-unicode3, as long as an
140     xft with the character is configured.
141     It's recommended to stay with disabled unicode3 even more now.
142     - freetype/xft have been verified to return nonsensical offsets for
143     combining characters. urxvt tries to compensate to some extent,
144     but diacritics will be slightly off in many cases, and far off in
145     some cases (e.g. input mono).
146 root 1.1254 - when checking for overlap/careful handling, take non-basefont
147     character shifts into account.
148 root 1.1263 - extensions can now request autoloading on OSC and Perl OSC sequences,
149     implement this for the background, clipboard-osc and overlay-osc
150     extensions.
151     - the background extension will now be autoloaded when the OSC 20 or 705
152     sequence is received.
153 root 1.1274 - added OSC 776 sequence to return character cell width, height and font
154     ascent, which is useful when using urxvt as slave to calculate window
155     size form or to row/column count.
156 root 1.1275 - matcher extension documentation now points out some requirements for
157     regular expressions. the default url matching regex will now try
158     to match IRLs in addition to URLs.
159 root 1.1263 - The view_start perl method now scrolls to the bottom also when the
160     argument is greater than 0.
161     - eval scroll actions now scroll to the bottom when scrolling down and
162     there are less lines to scroll than the ones requested (reported by
163     Stephen Talley).
164 root 1.1236 - allow perl-ext and perl-ext-common to override autoloaded extensions.
165 sf-exg 1.1237 this allows tabbed to disable itself in subtabs, avoiding recursive
166 root 1.1236 loading.
167 root 1.1242 - update precompose table to unicode 13.0.
168 root 1.1241 - update charset conversion tables to perl 5.32 (this only affected
169     cs_koi8_u_from_unicode).
170 root 1.1244 - unicode characters > 0x100000 were not handled correctly w.r.t.
171     font rendering.
172 root 1.1252 - replace bitstream vera by dejavu sans, as it has replaced the former
173     almost everywhere.
174 root 1.1266 - urxvt will now try tic -x first and only fall back to tic without -x
175     when tic -x fails.
176 root 1.1270 - fix urclock not erasing the old date on the clock face, causing
177     overdraw, plus a host of other small fixes and improvements.
178 root 1.1261 - shave off over 1K of code size from urclock by replacing the sine table
179     with a slightly less accurate fixed point approximation.
180 sf-exg 1.1264 - do not specify indentation with =over in pod, this is no longer
181 root 1.1262 needed with semi-modern pod tools and gives the formatter more
182     stylistic freedom.
183 sf-exg 1.1264 - background extension did not set the "size-sensitive" flag
184 root 1.1263 when repeat mode wasn't normal.
185     - extensions are now subjected to "use strict 'subs'".
186 root 1.1265 - avoid crashing when xft successfully opens a font but then somehow
187     can't lock the face.
188 root 1.1272 - locale_decode/encode api methods now pass through undef unchanged.
189 root 1.1273 - fix undefined behaviour in the perl hook function, as diagnosed by clang.
190 root 1.1236
191 root 1.1235 9.26 Fri May 14 19:14:14 CEST 2021
192     - ev_iouring.c was wrongly required during compilation, and wrongly
193     not packaged.
194    
195 root 1.1234 9.25 Fri May 14 15:51:36 CEST 2021
196 root 1.1232 - for the 17.5th anniversary, and because many distributions seem to
197     remove rxvt in favour of urxvt, this release resurrects rclock as
198     urclock.
199 sf-exg 1.1229 - add support for systemd socket-based activation - debian bug #917105,
200     freebsd bug #234276.
201 root 1.1226 - do not destruct perl on exit anymore: this might fail for a variety of
202 sf-exg 1.1238 reasons, and takes unnecessary time.
203 root 1.1232 - remove any macros from urxvtperl manpage(s), should fix debian
204     bug 858385.
205 root 1.1221 - the old bg image resources are now provided by the background
206     extension, and perl is thus required for bg image support. No
207     configuration change is needed: urxvt autoloads the background
208     ext if any bg image resource/option is present (for OSC sequences to
209 sf-exg 1.1237 work you need to enable it explicitly). The old bg image
210 root 1.1221 resources are also now deprecated; users are encouraged to
211     switch to the new bg image interface (see man urxvt-background).
212 root 1.1224 - confirm-paste now checks for any ctlchars, not just newlines.
213 root 1.1225 - searchable scrollback will now ignore bracketed paste mode sequences
214     (prompted by Daniel Gröber's patch).
215 root 1.1217 - drop ISO 2022 locale support. ISO 2022 encodings are not supported in
216 root 1.1219 POSIX locales and clash with vt100 charset emulation (the luit
217     program can be used as a substitute).
218 root 1.1222 - perl didn't parse rgba colours specified as an array correctly,
219 root 1.1223 only allowing 0 and 100% intensity for each component (this affected
220     fill and tint).
221 root 1.1221 - when iterating over resources, urxvt will now try to properly handle
222     multipart resources (such as "*background.expr"), for the benefit
223     of autoloading perl extensions.
224 root 1.1218 - ESC G (query rxvt graphics mode) has been disabled due to security
225     implications. The rxvt graphics mode was removed in rxvt-unicode 1.5,
226     and no programs relying on being able to query the mode are known.
227 root 1.1214 - work around API change breakage in perl 5.28, based on a patch by
228     Roman Bogorodskiy.
229 root 1.1210 - improved security: rob nation's (obsolete) graphics mode queries
230     no longer reply with linefeed in secure/default mode.
231 sf-exg 1.1207 - ISO 8613-3 direct colour SGR sequences (patch by Fengguang Wu).
232     - xterm focus reporting mode (patch by Daniel Hahler).
233 sf-exg 1.1228 - xterm SGR mouse mode.
234 sf-exg 1.1230 - implement DECRQM. Patch by Přemysl Eric Janouch.
235     - add missing color index parameter to OSC 4 response. Patch
236     by Přemysl Eric Janouch.
237 sf-exg 1.1208 - in some window managers, if smart resize was enabled, urxvt
238     erroneously moved the window on font change - awesome bug
239     #532, arch linux bug ##34807 (patch by Uli Schlachter).
240 sf-exg 1.1212 - fix urxvtd crash when using a background expression.
241     - properly restore colors when using fading and reverse video
242     is enabled while urxvt is focused and then disabled while it
243     is not focused, or vice versa (patch by Daniel Hahler).
244 sf-exg 1.1209 - fix high memory usage when an extension repeatedly hides and
245     shows an overlay (reported by Marcel Lautenbach).
246 root 1.1211 - expose priv_modes member and constants to perl extensions
247     (patch by Rastislav Barlik).
248 root 1.1216 - fix a whole slew of const sillyness, unfortunately forced upon
249     us by ISO C++.
250     - update to libecb 0x00010006.
251     - disable all thread support in ecb.h as we presumably don't need it.
252 root 1.1220 - slightly improve Makefile source dependencies.
253 root 1.1227 - work around bugs in newer Pod::Xhtml versions (flags incorrect formatting codes
254     in xhtml/html sections but does not interpret correct ones).
255 sf-exg 1.1207
256 root 1.1206 9.22 Sat Jan 23 21:07:33 CET 2016
257 sf-exg 1.1205 - NOTICE: this release updates terminfo.
258     - add terminfo capabilities for various ctrl and shift-ctrl key variants
259     (patch by Sebastian Schmidt).
260 root 1.1197 - fix longstanding core font encoding bug where some character
261     ranges could not be mapped from unicode to the font: affected
262     encodings are big5, gb2312, iso8859-8 (hebrew), jis0201 and
263     ksc5601 (reported by Mikachu).
264 sf-exg 1.1203 - fix crash when the number of columns is 1 and a 0 width character is inserted
265     (reported by Kuang-che Wu).
266 sf-exg 1.1202 - fix a crash when parsing an invalid color specification (reported by Kuang-che Wu).
267     - fix a buffer overflow in font name parser (reported by Kuang-che Wu).
268 sf-exg 1.1196 - do not start blinking cursor if the window is unfocused (reported by
269     Devin J. Pohly).
270 sf-exg 1.1192 - change the width of underline and i-beam cursor to 2 pixels (based on
271     a patch by Omar Sandoval).
272 sf-exg 1.1199 - add pointerShape resource to change the mouse pointer shape
273     (based on a patch by Brian Watson).
274 sf-exg 1.1191 - a keysym resource for a key which is already bound to an
275     action now properly rebinds the key.
276 sf-exg 1.1203 - do not report mouse motion events if Shift is active (patch by Daniel Hahler).
277     - put the alpha component last in responses to OSC color queries
278     (patch by Benjamin Herr).
279 sf-exg 1.1194 - the key_press hook is now invoked before processing the
280     event, as documented. This change was done in 9.21 but not
281     announced and fixes debian bugs #511377, #531751 and red hat
282     bug #1105069. Note that this change breaks a few scripts,
283     such as mark-yank-urls, which rely on the previous buggy
284     behaviour that urxvt processes the event (in particular
285     keysym bindings) before invoking the hook.
286 sf-exg 1.1191 - the tabbed extension now properly refreshes the active tab
287 sf-exg 1.1194 on a key press when the mouse pointer is outside the terminal
288 sf-exg 1.1191 window.
289 sf-exg 1.1195 - add 'lookup_keysym' perl method to lookup the action bound
290     to a key combination.
291     - a key combination bound to 'matcher:select' can now be used
292     to cycle through the matches in matcher.
293 root 1.1200 - change perl integer accessors (->width et al.) into mutators.
294 sf-exg 1.1298 - this version has been verified to work with perl 5.8.3.
295 sf-exg 1.1191
296 root 1.1189 9.21 Wed Dec 31 14:50:03 CET 2014
297 root 1.1182 - the "moa redraw 8-bit british vintage colour management" release.
298 root 1.1173 - NOTICE: this release updates terminfo.
299 root 1.1170 - fix pixel droppings on overdraw when a secondary core font has the
300     same height but different ascent.
301 root 1.1171 - implement cvvis in terminfo as blinking cursor, to distinguish it
302     from cnorm (emacs uses cvvis which is commonly a blinking cursor).
303 root 1.1190 - when xft support was compiled in, colour queries erroneously returned
304 root 1.1183 premultiplied values, this also affected internal queries, for example
305 root 1.1190 when calculating faded colour. alpha is now divided out when possible,
306     which is more correct but loses colour resolution.
307 root 1.1173 - add DECSCUSR xterm extension to set the cursor to a vertical bar.
308 sf-exg 1.1166 - add 'extension:string' action, and associated on_action perl
309     hook, for keysym resources that invokes actions provided by
310     perl extensions. The 'perl:string' action and
311     on_user_command hook are deprecated but still supported.
312 sf-exg 1.1165 - add 'builtin-string' action for keysym resources that restores string
313     mappings for keys that have predefined actions in urxvt.
314     - add -k option to urxvtc for killing the daemon process.
315 root 1.1187 - document urxvtd's -e/--eval option that was implemented in 9.16,
316     but not documented.
317 sf-exg 1.1165 - add -dockapp option to make the wm treat urxvt as a dockapp.
318 sf-exg 1.1166 - add -mc option and multiClickTime resource to set the maximum time
319 sf-exg 1.1158 between multi-click select events (patch by Joe Peterson).
320 sf-exg 1.1166 - new 'eval' extension to evaluate arbitrary perl code with keysym
321 sf-exg 1.1153 bindings. The extension also provides methods that implement basic
322     actions, such as pasting selections and scrolling.
323     - the macosx-clipboard and macosx-clipboard-native extensions have been removed.
324 root 1.1149 - kuake extension now uses the kuake.hotkey resource to specify the hotkey.
325 sf-exg 1.1157 - new 'matcher:select' mode of matcher to iterate over the matches with the keyboard.
326 sf-exg 1.1154 - the 'matcher:list' feature of matcher now honours the launcher
327     associated to a matched pattern.
328 sf-exg 1.1168 - speed-up matcher underlining on very long lines (reported by Edward Z. Yang).

348 root 1.1177 displays to avoid read-write cells instead of simply failing
349     (this is only relevant for antique 8bpp frame buffers).
350 root 1.1178 - do not free fade colours when not doing fading (this is likely

470     loading of the "keysym-list" perl extension.
471 sf-exg 1.1038 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: A scale value of 0 in the bg image
472     geometry no longer enables tiling, so as to make it possible
473     to disable both scaling and tiling.
474 mikachu 1.1058 - overhaul of the bg image operations. The old operations have
475     been deprecated in favour of elementary operations and
476     styles built on top of the new operations and scale/position
477     settings. (Emanuele Giaquinta).
478     - support for libafterimage is deprecated and will be removed
479     in the next release.

485     - fix display of bold bright black (reported by Ben Winslow).
486     - fix memory leak when urgentOnBell is set (patch by Nathaniel
487     Filardo).
488     - fix a redraw bug that occurs when a bg pixmap is set and the
489     wm does not honour the size hints set by urxvt. Now urxvt
490     forces the size of the terminal window to be a multiple of
491     the cell size.
492 sf-exg 1.1034 - sanitise the argument of SD / SU sequences. Fixes a possible

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

499 sf-exg 1.1055 - add set_urgency perl binding to set/reset the urgency hint.
500 sf-tpope 1.1041 - consume button release event in matcher (exg).
501 sf-tpope 1.1042 - keyboard accessible list of recent matches in matcher
502     (Bob Farrell).
503 sf-exg 1.1043 - properly process 'keysym' sequences in tabbed when using
504     'focus follows mouse' and the focus is on the main window

506     Pohlack).
507 root 1.1059 - support for the freedesktop startup-notification protocol (patch by

510 root 1.1059 - fix alignment of inherited root pixmap when it is a different size
511 mikachu 1.1057 than the root window and the terminal window is off the left or top

513 mikachu 1.1061 - make $self visible in "eval perl expression" popup action, also
514     handle exceptions better.

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

535     - remove 'list' syntax for keysym resources, as it serves no useful purpose.
536     If you need it, poke us and provide a use case.
537     - fix alpha channel support. Premultiply alpha in colours if the visual
538     supports an alpha channel, as xrender expects premultiplied alpha
539     (Emanuele Giaquinta).
540     - fix reply to a selection request sent by an obsolete client
541     such as syncterm (patch by Marcin Cieslak).
542 sf-exg 1.1019 - fix crash when the window is resized and the overlay is active
543     (Emanuele Giaquinta, reported by Ryan Kavanagh).
544 mikachu 1.1058 - match character-wise rather than byte-wise in selection
545     extension again. perl 5.8.9+ is required to avoid extreme
546     slowdowns. Fixes debian bugs #523072, #616463.
547     - fix a possible crash if the INCR transfer process for a
548     selection property timeouts and at least one chunk is
549     received. (Emanuele Giaquinta)
550 sf-exg 1.1020 - work around a memory corruption bug in xorg's XrmSetDatabase (apparently
551 mikachu 1.1058 broken since http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/xorg-commit-diffs/2004-March/000239.html).
552     - fix memory corruption bug when custom command sequences bound to keys
553     were injected into an already-full pty input buffer.
554     - gdk-pixbuf is autodetected by default and preferred over libafterimage.
555     - do not prepend a newline to the selection text when the starting line
556     of the selection is not highlighted (Emanuele Giaquinta).
557 root 1.988 - don't swap perl env with real env, save and restore it, just in case

559     with gcc.
560     - fix various memory leaks (Emanuele Giaquinta).
561     - fix typo in kIC terminfo capability, debian bug #446444.
562     - document 'thickness' resource.
563     - fix debian bug #504817, to the extent possible.
564 sf-exg 1.1014 - try to detect byte order at compile time, saves a couple of
565 mikachu 1.1058 hundred bytes, if your compiler is smart enough.
566     - add support for previewing the pasted data in confirm-paste
567     (Emanuele Giaquinta).
568     - added "newlines to spaces" option in selection-popup.
569     - actually enabled solaris event ports backend (was disabled by accident).
570     - revert to 38400 baud max., mission accomplished.
571     - no longer create scary "pty_fill: PLEASE REPORT" message, instead,
572     silently drain the input (problem is well understood now).
573     - no longer swallow rob nation's own graphics mode commands.

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

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

1044     - modified XIM according to a patch sent by Takano Akio that sets
1045     the preedit rectangle for OverTheSpot, which helps some input methods
1046     to correctly position their preedit window.
1047     - un-optimise the line clearing on newly scrolled-in lines a bit: the
1048     former reasoning was that any fg colour on default bg looks the same
1049     in empty spaces, but that's not true when reversing (e.g. selection),
1050     so also check for matching fg colours. This fixes the problem where
1051     selecting newly scrolled-in lines would exhibit wrong colours.
1052     - fix a bug in the perl interface causing focus in events to generate
1053     focus out perl events, causing bad focus effects with -pe tabbed.

1072     - option menu is extendable, readline, selection and
1073     selection-autotransform can now be disabled/enabled at runtime.
1074     - forcing a configure event to tabbed subwindows with -pe tabbed, for
1075     the benefit of automove-background.

1096     - detect totally broken fonts (usually synthesized by xft).
1097     - careful mode forced refresh sometimes clashed with blinking,
1098     causing unnecessary screen redraws.
1099     - better handling of XFT combining characters.
1100     - enable antialiasing for some replacement fonts, as they
1101     might get used for other encodings which really need it, later.
1102     - remove spacing=100 from all default fonts, as this creates totally
1103     weird spacing (5 times normal) with xft.
1104     - removed iso10646 fallback, as xorgs iso10646 encoded fonts are mostly
1105     broken.
1106     - removed gnu unifont fallback, all combining characters are broken.
1107     - replace named colours by xorg's rgb.txt equivalents, to
1108     reduce round trip time on startup, and short-cut allocation
1109     of rgb:rr/gg/bb for xft.
1110     - short-cut allocation of rgb values in the xlib case
1111     (patch by Paco-Paco).

1113     - support "rgba:rrrr/gggg/bbbb/aaaa" color specifications and
1114     an "[alpha]" prefix.
1115     - try to work around Xft and Xrender forcing everything to be 100%
1116     transparent. Long Live Xft!

1200     - new perl extension automove-background that can be used to get
1201     the same effect as pseudo-transparency with any pixmap.

1212     - perl/selection, perl/selection-autotransform: regexes are now
1213     being interpreted in the locale urxvt was started.

1388     - rxvt is now much more careful (read: slower) with potentially

1393     fonts that will likely overshoot or undershoot lines.
1394     - fix a cosmetic problem with the unfocused cursor on a wide character
1395     at the end of the line (reported by Mikachu).

1639     for windows not requesting XIM. Please report if this change
1640     causes any harm (specially with pointerblanking)
1641     (patch by Kuang-che Wu).
1642     - send the input method spot position on every refresh, not just

1644     - fix double-wide combining characters (it might look a bit ugly,
1645     though, but common cases are handled by normalization anyways).
1646     - moved FAQ to rxvt(7), also made a copy into README.FAQ.
1647     - fix a bug(?) in the XIM destroy callback.
1648     - be more conservative when trying to register new input methods,
1649     as Xlib races might make rxvt crash. When two or more

1651     due to that bug :( Thanks a lot to Kuang-che Wu for immense help

1672     - reworked rxvt-unicode terminfo to allow more efficient and less flickering
1673     screen updates with curses.
1674     - wide characters that are being halfway overwritten are now replaced
1675     by spaces.
1676     - urxvtc now transmits urxvt as default name, not urxvtc anymore
1677     (likewise for other names chosen at configure time).
1678     - disabled the automatic font lookup for unknown characters. xft
1679     is just too slow for this to work.

1681     where _real_ means the symbiosis of what I want with what I can

1683     - removed 256 color mode, but enable 88 colours in all modes
1684     (88 to be compatible with 88 colour xterm which is widely
1685     supported, and most programs assume a non-iso colourtable
1686     for terminals with "odd" number of colours).
1687     - added doc/etc/rxvt-unicode.terminfo which is a big overhaul

1692     speeds up output immensely in case a character cannot be found
1693     (only for non-bold right now).
1694     - fix segfault in fading code on certain escape sequences.
1695     - better default font size and style.
1696     - rxvt-unicode is now much more picky about fonts not fitting
1697     into the base font, but to offset this it will check each
1698     single character against the base font extents and will only
1699     use the characters fitting into the bounding box (+ some fudge).
1700     - characters not fitting into the base boundary box will now often
1701     be used anyways, but the following characters will be redrawn
1702     more often to avoid pixel-droppings. This is like the original
1703     rxvt pixel-dropping pass but it's much faster.
1704     - scrollColor now affects plain scrollbar (Mikael Magnusson).
1705     - fixed segfault in overlay code when height was larger than the
1706     screen height.
1707     - cursor no longer shines "through" the overlay.
1708     - 7-bit ST marker detection was broken.
1709     - scrollbar didn't come back sometimes when switching it
1710     off/on using escape sequences (Mikael Magnusson).
1711     - fix lots of colour problems with focus fading.
1712     - $COLORFGBG was not set as documented.

1725     "cannot create input context" in most cases.
1726     - fix coordinates used for Over && OffTheSpot editing to fit directly
1727     at the cursor (Over) or into the top line (Off).
1728     - reset SIGHUP and SIGPIPE handlers to default values (they were
1729 sf-exg 1.1035 previously being ignored, causing programs not to exit on window
1730 root 1.430 close).
1731     - implemented simple overlays for feedback messages. believe it or

1737     - add work around for badly written programs (see debian bug
1738     #202497). This is _not_ a bug in rxvt but rather a race
1739     condition in other programs (e.g. jed). It works by forcefully
1740     sending SIGWINCH when rxvt sees the first output from the
1741     command. This workaround isn't perfect (a slight cost to
1742     wellbehaving programs who need to resize twice), but it usually

1759     windows when spawning children. Actual risk is low (attacker
1760     needs access to a local shell window).
1761     - implemented parts 5.1 and 5.2 of ISO 14755 (i.e. hold down
1762     Ctrl+Shift and enter hex numbers. space commits it as a unicode
1763     character, or press and release Crl+Shift and then enter a
1764 sf-exg 1.1063 function key to get its picture). patches for 5.3 (or 5.4 with
1765 root 1.430 a little window or so) would be welcome.
1766     - fixed large pastes (INCR selections, debian bug #191456).
1767     - fixed longstanding bug in which rxvtd crashed when
1768     a message was logged after startup (a rare case).
1769     - got rid of yodl completely by converting to pod.
1770     - integrated the FAQ into the manpage. In the future, more will be
1771     added there.
1772     - reference documentation is now installed as rxvt(7).
1773     - rxvt(7) now contains README.configure, which is autogenerated.
1774 root 1.168 - fix memory leak in insecure mode on certain display echos.
1775 root 1.430 - report sequences now report empty strings in secure mode
1776     instead of being ignored.
1777     - enable some report sequences even in secure mode, such as colour
1778     queries, as they are harmless(tm).
1779     - rxvt-unicode will now try to find a matching xft font if it can't
1780     find a matching font from the fallback list. It might look ugly,
1781     but if a xft font with our character exists, rxvt will find it.
1782     - moved FreeMono to the very back of the fallback list, as some
1783     people complain it looks ugly. This is a no-win situation, though.
1784     - fixed sourceforge bug 998970, reported against aterm:
1785     "crash on -sl 0 on super small windows".
1786     - decreased memory and code size when !--enable-transparency.
1787     - SYNCCVS. backported changes done to rxvt, except for Color_ufbg,
1788     which I think is better done through fading, and libW11, which
1789     needs testing anyways.
1790     - more complete compile options help output.
1791     - Provide linear scaled colour cubes for 256 colour mode.
1792     Pass them through as rgbi rather than rgb so that Xlib can
1793     provide gamma (from per visual intensity lists) rather than
1794     providing constant gamma ourselves. Noticed by and ideas from
1795     Christopher Casey <realchriscasey@hotmail.com>
1796     - minor doc fix.

1799 root 1.430 - UPGRADE ADVISED: rxvt did wake up 100 times per second. did not
1800     show in my top (linux...), but it's extremely annoying that I
1801     released it with that bug. :( Fixed.
1802 root 1.147 - use memove instead of for-loop for large scrollback buffer copies.
1803 root 1.430 speeds up large scrollback buffers (on systems with reasonable
1804     memmove :)

1816     make some scrollbars transparent (e.g. plain, my favourite style :).
1817     - imported aterm shading code (faster and still portable).
1818     - changed interpretation and usage of shading (-sh).
1819     - fixed blinking underlined and negative text.
1820     - disable slow link support on connections using unix domain sockets,
1821     speeding up scrolling immensely.
1822     - various other optimizations.
1823     - new borderLess switch (ewmh-compliant), by Mikael Magnusson.

1829 root 1.430 - new -sh option by Mikael Magnusson.
1830 root 1.137 - off-focus-fading (--enable-fading) support (patch by

1832 root 1.430 - cursor now set correctly on --disable-blank (reported by
1833     Mikael Magnusson).
1834     - better (and non-crashing) slipwheeling (Mikael Magnusson).
1835 root 1.137 - solaris 2.8 portability changes (reported by Colin Marquardt).
1836 root 1.430 - disable-xim now really disables xim code.

1838     3.2 Mon Jul 26 19:57:32 CEST 2004
1839 root 1.430 - support real bold fonts (patch by Adam Sampson <azz@us-lot.org>),
1840     if specified in the font list (and enabled by -rb).
1841     - fixed --enable-keepscrolling and --enable-selectionscrolling, which
1842     was broken since 1.8. Patch by Hans de Goede <j.w.r.degoede@hhs.nl>.
1843     - fixed --enable-slipwheeling, see above.
1844 root 1.124 - sequences ended by ST can now contain any octet by quoting it
1845 root 1.430 with ^V (SYN).
1846     - 8-bit-controls disabled by default (compiletime option).
1847 root 1.124
1848     3.1 Sat Jun 26 23:38:07 CEST 2004
1849     - set default backspace sequence to "DEC" (which defaults to \177)
1850 root 1.430 as opposed to \010 as before, which was incorrect (ahem :).
1851     - updated doc/etc/rxvt.* to reflect the change. This brings rxvt
1852     in line with many existing rxvt terminfo and termcap entries as
1853     well as with other terminal emulators.
1854 sf-exg 1.1035 - fix a segfault when trying to set a nonexistent locale
1855 root 1.430 (reported by elmex).
1856     - find more fonts by default for japanese.
1857     - the internal border wasn't always cleared. This is fixed by moving
1858 sf-exg 1.1063 the window relative to its frame and simplifies a lot of code, too.
1859 root 1.430 - fixed quite hard to find scrollbar colour bug, reported by Eduard
1860     Bloch.

1863     - experimental flickerfree resize mode (I tried to get even
1864     less flickering with SouthWestGravity but couldn't get it to work,
1865     sorry).
1866     - c++-ify (or at least make it compile with g++-3.4, which should
1867     make it a little bit more correct c++).
1868    
1869 pcg 1.114 2.9 Sat May 8 19:13:41 CEST 2004

1880 pcg 1.114 - this version should now work fine with TERM=xterm, except
1881 root 1.430 for the keymappings.
1882     - don't leave the X or rxvtd sockets open in child processes.
1883     (inherited fd's stay open - different to rxvt).
1884     - xterm-compat: implemented OSC3, set/get window property. get is
1885     an extension and is slightly ugly.
1886 pcg 1.108 - removed --disable-swapscreen and SCROLL_ON_NO_SECONDARY and
1887 root 1.430 replaced them by runtime-configurable options secondaryScreen and
1888     secondaryScroll (-ssr and -ssc) (see debian bug #237673).
1889 pcg 1.108 - close down terminal window when child exits. (debian bug #241267).
1890 sf-exg 1.1035 - xterm-compat: enable separate mouse bg colour setting.
1891 root 1.430 - re-enable mouse cursor colours again, fixing colours when fg/bg are
1892     overwritten (as is common).
1893     - xterm-compat: correctly implement privmodes 1047, 1048, 1049.
1894     - ported to solaris by elmar@math.uni-bremen.de.
1895 pcg 1.108

1899     avoid clashes with xterm.
1900     - changed OSC701/OSC702 sequence to return standard escaped reports.
1901     - xterm-compat: make set window colour and other requests report
1902     window colour when arg is "?".
1903     - enable colour tinting of "transparent" backgrounds.
1904     - stop ST sequences earlier, as we now react on 0x90 and thus
1905     cause conditions more often that look like locks but are, in
1906     fact, just rxvt waiting for a ST/BEL etc.
1907     - re-enabled most of the "dangerous" echo escapes, but only
1908     when -insecure is specified as option or resource (see reference).
1909     (FRILLS).
1910     - disables sleep(1) on transparency updates on default.
1911     - fixes to make it compile better on solaris 2.9 (at least).
1912     asprintf replacement is still missing(!).
1913     - set _NET_WM_PID.
1914 pcg 1.108
1915 pcg 1.91 2.5 Sun Mar 28 04:05:51 CEST 2004

1918     - more informative error messages.
1919     - fix some minor memleaks and possible memory corruptions.
1920     - the use of exception handling allowed the following improvements:
1921     - no longer block when waiting for completion of escape sequences
1922     (e.g. printf '\e';sleep 3;printf 'c' will no longer block).
1923     - rxvtc usage errors should no longer kill rxvtd (debian bug #237510).

1931     - remove native->unicode translation tables. they aren't used anymore.
1932     reduces binary and distro size a bit.
1933     - add string representation for JIS X 0213:2000 so these fonts can
1934     be used from within rxvt.
1935     - less buggy complete set of line-drawing-characters (0x2500-0x259f).
1936 pcg 1.83

1942     MAX_NFONTS. UNICODE and UTF8 defines and references from
1943     all files.
1944     - default config now reads an app-defaults file even without
1945 sf-exg 1.1035 --enable-xgetdefault.
1946 pcg 1.74
1947 pcg 1.69 2.2 Thu Mar 11 01:41:56 CET 2004
1948 root 1.430 - implement autocompositing of characters by either using an existing
1949     precomposed unicode character or by graphical overlay. this is
1950     also used to store characters >16bit without --enable-unicode3.
1951     - selection now based on wchar_t, so that it can offer UTF-8
1952     selections even in locales unable to represent full unicode.
1953 pcg 1.69 - tis620-2529 is, of course, thai, not vietnamese...
1954 root 1.430 - a typoe prevented characters >65535 to be stored properly.
1955     - wcwidth is unreliable in non-unicode-locales on GNU/Linux.
1956     working around this fixes line-drawing characters in non-utf-8 mode.
1957     - improved rounding when emulating line-drawing characters.
1958     - implement continuation lines in xresource parsing when
1959     --disable-xgetdefault.
1960     - changed locale-setting esc-sequence from code 9 to code 701.
1961     also added 702 that returns the font selected for a specific
1962     unicode character.
1963 root 1.568 - no longer set CUT_BUFFER0. this is confusing and clients WILL
1964 root 1.430 get it wrong.
1965 root 1.568 - don't use XTextStyle for TEXT, instead use XStdICCTextStyle.
1966 pcg 1.69
1967 pcg 1.58 2.1 Wed Mar 3 21:48:39 CET 2004

1969 root 1.430 this version, see README.configure if you want the old
1970     settings.
1971     - added plain "big5" encoding into CN.
1972     - make cns11643 and big5* encodings actually visible to rxvt.
1973     - fix a bug when a multibyte character fell onto a buffer boundary,
1974     causing the incomplete character to be presented twice to
1975     mbrtowc.
1976     - more robust encoding name matching.
1977     - fix cursor placement on multibyte characters.
1978     - when overwriting wide with narrow chars, pad with spaces.

1980     - remove multibyte_cursor hack (it was a hack) and associated
1981     resources and docs.
1982     - fixed memory corruption bug with XLFD fontname parsing.
1983 pcg 1.58
1984 pcg 1.50 2.0 Sun Feb 29 23:59:58 CET 2004

1996 root 1.430 - implemented sharing of X connections. will be used to speed
1997     up many x operations considerably. Also saves some memory.
1998     - implemented caching of input methods. This immensely shortens
1999     startup time for new terms in rxvtd. At least XFree86 4.3 is
2000     rather broken with respect to input methods, though, so expect
2001     crashes when you kill your input method (xterm et al. also crash).
2002     - fix bugs in X flushing, causing an empty screen after startup.
2003     - fix various memleaks in rxvtd.

2006     reported by joel reed.

2010     being selected.
2011     - implemented esc-seq. to switch locales (\033 ] 9 ; <locale> \007).
2012     - removed greek support.
2013     - allow NUL bytes (ctrl-@) to be entered even with XIM enabled.
2014     - correct cursor width if !focus.
2015     - fixed --enable-xgetdefault, reported by eduard bloch.
2016 root 1.444 - added manpage for rxvtc/rxvtd based on the one eduard bloch
2017 root 1.430 contributed.
2018     - use reverse video for normal bold text unless colorBD has been set.

2027     - re-enabled multiple scrollbar support.
2028     - added plain scrollbar style and restored xterm scrollbar.
2029 root 1.430 - blinking and selections work slightly better now.
2030     - fix an error condition when rxvt receives more than one screenful
2031     of output. should occur with original rxvt, too, but very rarely.
2032     (I guess the code contains more surprises of this sort...)
2033 pcg 1.19
2034 pcg 1.18 1.7 Fri Jan 30 16:50:11 CET 2004
2035     - further cleanups.
2036 root 1.430 - never do last-minute-changes: restore ability to have
2037     color + bold as high-intensity, and let the selection
2038     use reverse video, not _blink_.
2039     - remove OPTION_HC, at least temporarily. If you want it back,
