1 root 1.462 rxvt-unicode changelog <= google-friendly title
2    
3 root 1.933 TODO: xcopyarea pass broken, fix and improve
4     TODO: event mechanism that replaces on_user_command with something more scalable.
5     TODO: slipwheeling needs a keyboard grab to get key release events.
6     TODO: overlays collide with the way the out-of-focus cursor is being drawn
7     TODO: "slow" rendering mode for bidi and scripts, pango!
8     TODO: read property sequence is broken with respect to utf-8 etc.
9     TODO: slow drag selection on remote display - other things seem fast (rxvt illness, motion hints?)
10     TODO: better resource handling for tabbar in -pe tabbed.
11     WISH: investigate -pe tabbed -g 80x25 being 23 not 24 or 25 lines
12     => when setting the constraints, the wm might (correctly)
13     resize the outer window, which might result in a smaller window overall.
14     or something like that. guys, send me a patch.
15     WISH: coloured pastebin
16     WISH: load system-wide config file even if we don't have one
17     WISH: look into XAddConnectionWatch, does anybody need that?
18     DUMB: support tex fonts

38 root 1.1188 TODO: simplify extension metainfo cache, cache on disk
39     TODO: URxvt::Ext::Name installs urxvt ext name and provides pod/manpage for URxvt::Ext::Name
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.

65 sf-exg 1.1299
66 sf-exg 1.1303 - fix memory leak when a background expression uses the muladd
67     or focus_fade operators (reported by Erik-Jan).
68 sf-exg 1.1299 - fix reference counting of values returned by some perl bindings.
69     - fix OSC responses with 7-bit ST (reported by Stuart Henderson).
70     - change the encoding of buttons 8-11 in mouse reporting
71     sequences to match xterm's and enable reporting of release
72     events for them (patch by Pierre-Marc Fournier).
73     - clamp coordinates in mouse reporting sequences to the number
74     of rows and columns (patch by Nick Hanley).
75 root 1.1300 - added Alt_L/ALt_R and updated some keys in iso 14755 5.2 mode.
76 root 1.1301 - perl 5.38 does not handle empty locale names, use "C" instead
77     (patch by sxzzsf).
78 root 1.1302 - add emoji test character, so that emoji-only fonts can be used without
79     any tricks.
80 sf-exg 1.1299
81 root 1.1295 9.31 Mon 02 Jan 2023 18:13:16 CET
82 root 1.1284 - implement a fix for CVE-2022-4170 (reported and analyzed by David Leadbeater).
83     While present in version 9.30, it should not be exploitable. It is exploitable
84 root 1.1289 in versions 9.25 and 9.26, at least, and allows anybody controlling output to
85     the terminal to execute arbitrary code in the urxvt process.
86 root 1.1280 - the background extension no longer requires off focus fading support
87     to be compiled in.
88 root 1.1297 - the confirm-paste extension now offers a choice between pasting the original
89 root 1.1286 or a sanitized version, and also frees up memory used to store the paste text
90     immediately.
91 sf-exg 1.1282 - fix compiling without frills.
92     - fix rewrapMode: never.
93     - fix regression that caused urxvt to no longer emit responses
94     to OSC color queries other than OSC 4 ones.
95 sf-exg 1.1283 - fix regression that caused urxvt to no longer process OSC 705.
96 root 1.1286 - restore CENTURY to be 1900 to "improve" year parsing in urclock (or at
97     least go back to the old interpretation) (based on an analysis
98     by Tommy Pettersson).
99 root 1.1284 - exec_async (used e.g. by the matcher extension to spawn processes) now
100 sf-exg 1.1287 sets the URXVT_EXT_WINDOWID variable to the window id of the terminal.
101 root 1.1285 - implement -fps option/refreshRate resource to change the default 60 Hz
102     maximum refresh limiter. I always wanted an fps option, but had to
103     wait for a user requesting it.
104 root 1.1291 - new clickthrough extension.
105 root 1.1290 - perl now also requires Xext.
106     - X region and shape extension functionality has been exposed to perl
107     extensions.
108     - RENDER extension no longer depends on ENABLE_XIM_ONTHESPOT.
109 root 1.1280
110 root 1.1278 9.30 Sat 27 Nov 2021 21:07:09 CET
111     - the background extension did not initialise properly when automatically
112 root 1.1277 loaded via the OSC.
113     - new "on_attach" hook type implemented, to initialise late-loading
114     extensions.
115    
116 root 1.1276 9.29 Mon 22 Nov 2021 18:07:14 CET
117     - libptytty (http://dist.schmorp.de/libptytty/) is now a required
118     external dependency.
119 root 1.1263 - enable confirm-paste extension by default, can be disabled by e.g.
120     URxvt.perl-ext: -confirm-paste
121 sf-exg 1.1257 - Key bindings specified with the -keysym option or with resources of
122     the form URxvt*keysym work again. Such resources, as opposed to
123     resources of the form URxvt.keysym, were not officially allowed but
124     accepted, so ignoring them is considered a regression.
125 root 1.1253 - new option/resource -rm/rewrapMode, which sets the line rewrap
126     mode to auto, never or always.
127     - new option/resource -dpb/disablePasteBrackets, which can be used to
128     disable bracketed paste mode sequences, as more and more programs
129     abuse these sequences (typically in the name of security, but these
130 root 1.1255 sequences are not improving security). Also, bracketed paste mode
131     is now under frills.
132 root 1.1269 - add manpage for urclock.
133 root 1.1267 - confirm-paste wrongly considered brackets as ctrlchars (patch by
134     Jakub Wilk, debian bug #995244).
135 root 1.1245 - if urxvt cannot detect a good estimate for font width (because a font does
136 root 1.1250 not contain latin characters at all for example), it will now fall
137 sf-exg 1.1249 back to xft's max_advance_width, which works well with some fonts. It
138 root 1.1245 currently will warn about this.
139 root 1.1239 - do not render variation selectors in the default font as boxes, treat
140     them as zero-width characters.
141 root 1.1248 - change combining character architecture to allow fonts to handle
142     combining sequences on their own. This could allow future renderers
143     to be more intelligent about these sequences.
144     - use the previous enhancement to allow unicode characters outside of the
145     BMP to be rendered even without --enable-unicode3, as long as an
146     xft with the character is configured.
147     It's recommended to stay with disabled unicode3 even more now.
148     - freetype/xft have been verified to return nonsensical offsets for
149     combining characters. urxvt tries to compensate to some extent,
150     but diacritics will be slightly off in many cases, and far off in
151     some cases (e.g. input mono).
152 root 1.1254 - when checking for overlap/careful handling, take non-basefont
153     character shifts into account.
154 root 1.1263 - extensions can now request autoloading on OSC and Perl OSC sequences,
155     implement this for the background, clipboard-osc and overlay-osc
156     extensions.
157     - the background extension will now be autoloaded when the OSC 20 or 705
158     sequence is received.
159 root 1.1274 - added OSC 776 sequence to return character cell width, height and font
160     ascent, which is useful when using urxvt as slave to calculate window
161     size form or to row/column count.
162 root 1.1275 - matcher extension documentation now points out some requirements for
163     regular expressions. the default url matching regex will now try
164     to match IRLs in addition to URLs.
165 root 1.1263 - The view_start perl method now scrolls to the bottom also when the
166     argument is greater than 0.
167     - eval scroll actions now scroll to the bottom when scrolling down and
168     there are less lines to scroll than the ones requested (reported by
169     Stephen Talley).
170 root 1.1236 - allow perl-ext and perl-ext-common to override autoloaded extensions.
171 sf-exg 1.1237 this allows tabbed to disable itself in subtabs, avoiding recursive
172 root 1.1236 loading.
173 root 1.1242 - update precompose table to unicode 13.0.
174 root 1.1241 - update charset conversion tables to perl 5.32 (this only affected
175     cs_koi8_u_from_unicode).
176 root 1.1244 - unicode characters > 0x100000 were not handled correctly w.r.t.
177     font rendering.
178 root 1.1252 - replace bitstream vera by dejavu sans, as it has replaced the former
179     almost everywhere.
180 root 1.1266 - urxvt will now try tic -x first and only fall back to tic without -x
181     when tic -x fails.
182 root 1.1270 - fix urclock not erasing the old date on the clock face, causing
183     overdraw, plus a host of other small fixes and improvements.
184 root 1.1261 - shave off over 1K of code size from urclock by replacing the sine table
185     with a slightly less accurate fixed point approximation.
186 sf-exg 1.1264 - do not specify indentation with =over in pod, this is no longer
187 root 1.1262 needed with semi-modern pod tools and gives the formatter more
188     stylistic freedom.
189 sf-exg 1.1264 - background extension did not set the "size-sensitive" flag
190 root 1.1263 when repeat mode wasn't normal.
191     - extensions are now subjected to "use strict 'subs'".
192 root 1.1265 - avoid crashing when xft successfully opens a font but then somehow
193     can't lock the face.
194 root 1.1272 - locale_decode/encode api methods now pass through undef unchanged.
195 root 1.1273 - fix undefined behaviour in the perl hook function, as diagnosed by clang.
196 root 1.1236
197 root 1.1235 9.26 Fri May 14 19:14:14 CEST 2021
198     - ev_iouring.c was wrongly required during compilation, and wrongly
199     not packaged.
200    
201 root 1.1234 9.25 Fri May 14 15:51:36 CEST 2021
202 root 1.1232 - for the 17.5th anniversary, and because many distributions seem to
203     remove rxvt in favour of urxvt, this release resurrects rclock as
204     urclock.
205 sf-exg 1.1229 - add support for systemd socket-based activation - debian bug #917105,
206     freebsd bug #234276.
207 root 1.1226 - do not destruct perl on exit anymore: this might fail for a variety of
208 sf-exg 1.1238 reasons, and takes unnecessary time.
209 root 1.1232 - remove any macros from urxvtperl manpage(s), should fix debian
210     bug 858385.
211 root 1.1221 - the old bg image resources are now provided by the background
212     extension, and perl is thus required for bg image support. No
213     configuration change is needed: urxvt autoloads the background
214     ext if any bg image resource/option is present (for OSC sequences to
215 sf-exg 1.1237 work you need to enable it explicitly). The old bg image
216 root 1.1221 resources are also now deprecated; users are encouraged to
217     switch to the new bg image interface (see man urxvt-background).
218 root 1.1224 - confirm-paste now checks for any ctlchars, not just newlines.
219 root 1.1225 - searchable scrollback will now ignore bracketed paste mode sequences
220     (prompted by Daniel Gröber's patch).
221 root 1.1217 - drop ISO 2022 locale support. ISO 2022 encodings are not supported in
222 root 1.1219 POSIX locales and clash with vt100 charset emulation (the luit
223     program can be used as a substitute).
224 root 1.1222 - perl didn't parse rgba colours specified as an array correctly,
225 root 1.1223 only allowing 0 and 100% intensity for each component (this affected
226     fill and tint).
227 root 1.1221 - when iterating over resources, urxvt will now try to properly handle
228     multipart resources (such as "*background.expr"), for the benefit
229     of autoloading perl extensions.
230 root 1.1218 - ESC G (query rxvt graphics mode) has been disabled due to security
231     implications. The rxvt graphics mode was removed in rxvt-unicode 1.5,
232     and no programs relying on being able to query the mode are known.
233 root 1.1214 - work around API change breakage in perl 5.28, based on a patch by
234     Roman Bogorodskiy.
235 root 1.1210 - improved security: rob nation's (obsolete) graphics mode queries
236     no longer reply with linefeed in secure/default mode.
237 sf-exg 1.1207 - ISO 8613-3 direct colour SGR sequences (patch by Fengguang Wu).
238     - xterm focus reporting mode (patch by Daniel Hahler).
239 sf-exg 1.1228 - xterm SGR mouse mode.
240 sf-exg 1.1230 - implement DECRQM. Patch by Přemysl Eric Janouch.
241     - add missing color index parameter to OSC 4 response. Patch
242     by Přemysl Eric Janouch.
243 sf-exg 1.1208 - in some window managers, if smart resize was enabled, urxvt
244     erroneously moved the window on font change - awesome bug
245     #532, arch linux bug ##34807 (patch by Uli Schlachter).
246 sf-exg 1.1212 - fix urxvtd crash when using a background expression.
247     - properly restore colors when using fading and reverse video
248     is enabled while urxvt is focused and then disabled while it
249     is not focused, or vice versa (patch by Daniel Hahler).
250 sf-exg 1.1209 - fix high memory usage when an extension repeatedly hides and
251     shows an overlay (reported by Marcel Lautenbach).
252 root 1.1211 - expose priv_modes member and constants to perl extensions
253     (patch by Rastislav Barlik).
254 root 1.1216 - fix a whole slew of const sillyness, unfortunately forced upon
255     us by ISO C++.
256     - update to libecb 0x00010006.
257     - disable all thread support in ecb.h as we presumably don't need it.
258 root 1.1220 - slightly improve Makefile source dependencies.
259 root 1.1227 - work around bugs in newer Pod::Xhtml versions (flags incorrect formatting codes
260     in xhtml/html sections but does not interpret correct ones).
261 sf-exg 1.1207
262 root 1.1206 9.22 Sat Jan 23 21:07:33 CET 2016
263 sf-exg 1.1205 - NOTICE: this release updates terminfo.
264     - add terminfo capabilities for various ctrl and shift-ctrl key variants
265     (patch by Sebastian Schmidt).
266 root 1.1197 - fix longstanding core font encoding bug where some character
267     ranges could not be mapped from unicode to the font: affected
268     encodings are big5, gb2312, iso8859-8 (hebrew), jis0201 and
269     ksc5601 (reported by Mikachu).
270 sf-exg 1.1203 - fix crash when the number of columns is 1 and a 0 width character is inserted
271     (reported by Kuang-che Wu).
272 sf-exg 1.1202 - fix a crash when parsing an invalid color specification (reported by Kuang-che Wu).
273     - fix a buffer overflow in font name parser (reported by Kuang-che Wu).
274 sf-exg 1.1196 - do not start blinking cursor if the window is unfocused (reported by
275     Devin J. Pohly).
276 sf-exg 1.1192 - change the width of underline and i-beam cursor to 2 pixels (based on
277     a patch by Omar Sandoval).
278 sf-exg 1.1199 - add pointerShape resource to change the mouse pointer shape
279     (based on a patch by Brian Watson).
280 sf-exg 1.1191 - a keysym resource for a key which is already bound to an
281     action now properly rebinds the key.
282 sf-exg 1.1203 - do not report mouse motion events if Shift is active (patch by Daniel Hahler).
283     - put the alpha component last in responses to OSC color queries
284     (patch by Benjamin Herr).
285 sf-exg 1.1194 - the key_press hook is now invoked before processing the
286     event, as documented. This change was done in 9.21 but not
287     announced and fixes debian bugs #511377, #531751 and red hat
288     bug #1105069. Note that this change breaks a few scripts,
289     such as mark-yank-urls, which rely on the previous buggy
290     behaviour that urxvt processes the event (in particular
291     keysym bindings) before invoking the hook.
292 sf-exg 1.1191 - the tabbed extension now properly refreshes the active tab
293 sf-exg 1.1194 on a key press when the mouse pointer is outside the terminal
294 sf-exg 1.1191 window.
295 sf-exg 1.1195 - add 'lookup_keysym' perl method to lookup the action bound
296     to a key combination.
297     - a key combination bound to 'matcher:select' can now be used
298     to cycle through the matches in matcher.
299 root 1.1200 - change perl integer accessors (->width et al.) into mutators.
300 sf-exg 1.1298 - this version has been verified to work with perl 5.8.3.
301 sf-exg 1.1191
302 root 1.1189 9.21 Wed Dec 31 14:50:03 CET 2014
303 root 1.1182 - the "moa redraw 8-bit british vintage colour management" release.
304 root 1.1173 - NOTICE: this release updates terminfo.
305 root 1.1170 - fix pixel droppings on overdraw when a secondary core font has the
306     same height but different ascent.
307 root 1.1171 - implement cvvis in terminfo as blinking cursor, to distinguish it
308     from cnorm (emacs uses cvvis which is commonly a blinking cursor).
309 root 1.1190 - when xft support was compiled in, colour queries erroneously returned
310 root 1.1183 premultiplied values, this also affected internal queries, for example
311 root 1.1190 when calculating faded colour. alpha is now divided out when possible,
312     which is more correct but loses colour resolution.
313 root 1.1173 - add DECSCUSR xterm extension to set the cursor to a vertical bar.
314 sf-exg 1.1166 - add 'extension:string' action, and associated on_action perl
315     hook, for keysym resources that invokes actions provided by
316     perl extensions. The 'perl:string' action and
317     on_user_command hook are deprecated but still supported.
318 sf-exg 1.1165 - add 'builtin-string' action for keysym resources that restores string
319     mappings for keys that have predefined actions in urxvt.
320     - add -k option to urxvtc for killing the daemon process.
321 root 1.1187 - document urxvtd's -e/--eval option that was implemented in 9.16,
322     but not documented.
323 sf-exg 1.1165 - add -dockapp option to make the wm treat urxvt as a dockapp.
324 sf-exg 1.1166 - add -mc option and multiClickTime resource to set the maximum time
325 sf-exg 1.1158 between multi-click select events (patch by Joe Peterson).
326 sf-exg 1.1166 - new 'eval' extension to evaluate arbitrary perl code with keysym
327 sf-exg 1.1153 bindings. The extension also provides methods that implement basic
328     actions, such as pasting selections and scrolling.
329     - the macosx-clipboard and macosx-clipboard-native extensions have been removed.

356 root 1.1178 - do not free fade colours when not doing fading (this is likely
357     only relevant for antique 8bpp frame buffers).

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

488     while scrolling up in curses programs for example).
489     - do not move the selection when scrolling up and the selection is

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

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

505 sf-exg 1.1055 - add set_urgency perl binding to set/reset the urgency hint.
506 sf-tpope 1.1041 - consume button release event in matcher (exg).
507 sf-tpope 1.1042 - keyboard accessible list of recent matches in matcher
508     (Bob Farrell).
509 sf-exg 1.1043 - properly process 'keysym' sequences in tabbed when using

517 mikachu 1.1057 than the root window and the terminal window is off the left or top

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

526     urxvt would fail to request a selection if the owner did not
527     support the UTF8_STRING target.
528     - fix rendering of double width chars in certain circumstances, more
529     likely to happen if urxvt is compiled with 256 colors support as
530 root 1.1103 urxvt runs out of fonts much earlier then. Fixes gentoo bug #358151
531 mikachu 1.1058 (Emanuele Giaquinta).

533 root 1.1028 - always premultiply colour values - while this increases differences between
534 mikachu 1.1058 core fonts and xft, it is "more correct" in practical situations.
535     - disable PTYTTY_REENTRANT option - not needed for urxvt and saves a bit of code.

537     non-xft non-cellfont in the list anyway.

541     - remove 'list' syntax for keysym resources, as it serves no useful purpose.
542     If you need it, poke us and provide a use case.
543     - fix alpha channel support. Premultiply alpha in colours if the visual
544     supports an alpha channel, as xrender expects premultiplied alpha
545     (Emanuele Giaquinta).
546     - fix reply to a selection request sent by an obsolete client
547     such as syncterm (patch by Marcin Cieslak).
548 sf-exg 1.1019 - fix crash when the window is resized and the overlay is active
549     (Emanuele Giaquinta, reported by Ryan Kavanagh).
550 mikachu 1.1058 - match character-wise rather than byte-wise in selection
551     extension again. perl 5.8.9+ is required to avoid extreme
552     slowdowns. Fixes debian bugs #523072, #616463.
553     - fix a possible crash if the INCR transfer process for a
554     selection property timeouts and at least one chunk is
555     received. (Emanuele Giaquinta)
556 sf-exg 1.1020 - work around a memory corruption bug in xorg's XrmSetDatabase (apparently
557 mikachu 1.1058 broken since http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/xorg-commit-diffs/2004-March/000239.html).
558     - fix memory corruption bug when custom command sequences bound to keys
559     were injected into an already-full pty input buffer.
560     - gdk-pixbuf is autodetected by default and preferred over libafterimage.

562     of the selection is not highlighted (Emanuele Giaquinta).
563 root 1.988 - don't swap perl env with real env, save and restore it, just in case

568     - document 'thickness' resource.
569     - fix debian bug #504817, to the extent possible.
570 sf-exg 1.1014 - try to detect byte order at compile time, saves a couple of
571 mikachu 1.1058 hundred bytes, if your compiler is smart enough.
572     - add support for previewing the pasted data in confirm-paste
573     (Emanuele Giaquinta).
574     - added "newlines to spaces" option in selection-popup.
575     - actually enabled solaris event ports backend (was disabled by accident).
576     - revert to 38400 baud max., mission accomplished.
577     - no longer create scary "pty_fill: PLEASE REPORT" message, instead,
578     silently drain the input (problem is well understood now).

583 mikachu 1.1058 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: make OSC 20 simpler and more correct
584     (Emanuele Giaquinta).
585 root 1.982 - if options were compiled out, this could lead to the option
586 mikachu 1.1058 count to be defined wrongly. This is likely behind the
587     failures with gcc 4.5.
588     - explicitly depend on fontconfig and xrender when xft support
589     is enabled. Although the public Xft api uses types from
590     both, in Xft 2.2.0 these libs are private
591     dependencies only thanks to an idiotic behaviour of
592     pkg-config that was added to workaround cases like this one.
593     Fixes linking when using GNU ld with --as-needed or GNU gold
594     (based on patch by Jan Palus).

597     set (reported by Michal Vaner).
598 sf-exg 1.978 - implement xterm's horribly broken 1005 mouse reporting mode,
599 mikachu 1.1058 and an alternative 1015 mode that works in non-utf-8 locales
600     and has fewer limitations.
601 sf-exg 1.977 - fix a possible bug where mouse notifications didn't work after
602 mikachu 1.1058 startup for the upper left corner.
603     - implement our own pixbuf to pixmap rendering to get rid of
604     dependency on buggy gdk-pixbuf-xlib. Only truecolor visuals
605     are supported (Emanuele Giaquinta).
606     - apply tinting before shading when both operations are requested.
607     Previously they were intermixed when lightening and the result
608     was inaccurate and confusing. Note that now a black tint yields a
609     completely black image, regardless of shading (Emanuele Giaquinta).
610     - avoid spurious redraws of the bg image when bg is transparent or
611     when using 'root' mode (Emanuele Giaquinta).
612     - fix build on XFree86.
613     - dynamically number options according to compiletime requirements.
614     For the extra saved byte. Or so. Yay.
615     - start options at one, not zero. Wastes a bit per terminal. Maybe.
616     saves 50 instruction bytes. Possibly.

646 sf-exg 1.945 - add highlightTextColor resource to change the foreground colour of
647 sf-exg 1.956 highlighted characters (Emanuele Giaquinta).
648 sf-exg 1.945 - make highlightColor apply also to selected cells with reverse video
649 sf-exg 1.956 but not to non selected cells with reverse video (Emanuele Giaquinta).
650 sf-exg 1.945 - remove colorRV resource (it was enabled only with frills off).
651 root 1.941 - fix numlock handling, the most longstanding bug to date (Emanuele Giaquinta).
652 mikachu 1.1058 - reduce the number of custom bits to 4, to make room

658     - actually added macosx-clipboard-native, which should have been in
659     the 9.07 release but had been forgotten.
660     - fix hang if DECAWM is not set and there are not enough columns to insert a
661     character (Emanuele Giaquinta).
662     - cub1 ("backspace") will now respect wrapping when past the rightmost column,
663     working around a shortcoming of most tty line discipline's line editing.
664 sf-exg 1.935 - add support for grabbing the clipboard selection and extend
665     selection{_clear,_grab,} perl bindings to optionally work
666     on the clipboard selection (based on patch by Dana Jansens).
667 mikachu 1.1058 - no longer force CERASE to BACKSPACE - use the system default. affects

1050     - modified XIM according to a patch sent by Takano Akio that sets
1051     the preedit rectangle for OverTheSpot, which helps some input methods
1052     to correctly position their preedit window.
1053     - un-optimise the line clearing on newly scrolled-in lines a bit: the
1054     former reasoning was that any fg colour on default bg looks the same
1055     in empty spaces, but that's not true when reversing (e.g. selection),
1056     so also check for matching fg colours. This fixes the problem where
1057     selecting newly scrolled-in lines would exhibit wrong colours.
1058     - fix a bug in the perl interface causing focus in events to generate
1059     focus out perl events, causing bad focus effects with -pe tabbed.
1060     - fix a race resulting in a crash on exiting.
1061     - fix a with --disable-xft that caused xfreecolors to be called on

1078     - option menu is extendable, readline, selection and
1079     selection-autotransform can now be disabled/enabled at runtime.
1080     - forcing a configure event to tabbed subwindows with -pe tabbed, for
1081     the benefit of automove-background.

1102     - detect totally broken fonts (usually synthesized by xft).
1103     - careful mode forced refresh sometimes clashed with blinking,

1105     - better handling of XFT combining characters.
1106     - enable antialiasing for some replacement fonts, as they
1107     might get used for other encodings which really need it, later.
1108     - remove spacing=100 from all default fonts, as this creates totally
1109     weird spacing (5 times normal) with xft.
1110     - removed iso10646 fallback, as xorgs iso10646 encoded fonts are mostly
1111     broken.
1112     - removed gnu unifont fallback, all combining characters are broken.
1113     - replace named colours by xorg's rgb.txt equivalents, to
1114     reduce round trip time on startup, and short-cut allocation
1115     of rgb:rr/gg/bb for xft.
1116     - short-cut allocation of rgb values in the xlib case
1117     (patch by Paco-Paco).
1118     - overhauled color management: smaller codesize, alpha support.
1119     - support "rgba:rrrr/gggg/bbbb/aaaa" color specifications and
1120     an "[alpha]" prefix.
1121     - try to work around Xft and Xrender forcing everything to be 100%
1122     transparent. Long Live Xft!

1206     - new perl extension automove-background that can be used to get
1207     the same effect as pseudo-transparency with any pixmap.

1218     - perl/selection, perl/selection-autotransform: regexes are now
1219     being interpreted in the locale urxvt was started.
1220     - implemented override-redirect option and enabled it on menus,
1221     as kwin puts our windows behind the terminal (what a shoddy wm).

1246     - perl: much increased functionality, better overlays, popup support
1247     and much much more.

1392     hipper parts of the world) to hopefully cope better with proportional
1393     chars mixed with fixed-width ones.
1394     - rxvt is now much more careful (read: slower) with potentially
1395     overlapping xft characters. It usually overshoots and redraws
1396     more than required, but that's better than undershooting and
1397     cutting pieces off of characters.
1398     - rxvt is now more restrictive in what font heights it accepts for
1399     fonts that will likely overshoot or undershoot lines.
1400     - fix a cosmetic problem with the unfocused cursor on a wide character
1401     at the end of the line (reported by Mikachu).
1402     - wide characters not fitting into the end of the line will be
1403     output in the next line (reported by Mikachu).

1650     - fix double-wide combining characters (it might look a bit ugly,
1651     though, but common cases are handled by normalization anyways).
1652     - moved FAQ to rxvt(7), also made a copy into README.FAQ.
1653     - fix a bug(?) in the XIM destroy callback.
1654     - be more conservative when trying to register new input methods,
1655     as Xlib races might make rxvt crash. When two or more

1657     due to that bug :( Thanks a lot to Kuang-che Wu for immense help

1678     - reworked rxvt-unicode terminfo to allow more efficient and less flickering
1679     screen updates with curses.
1680     - wide characters that are being halfway overwritten are now replaced
1681     by spaces.
1682     - urxvtc now transmits urxvt as default name, not urxvtc anymore
1683     (likewise for other names chosen at configure time).
1684     - disabled the automatic font lookup for unknown characters. xft
1685     is just too slow for this to work.

1687     where _real_ means the symbiosis of what I want with what I can
1688     implement. use --enable-styles.
1689     - removed 256 color mode, but enable 88 colours in all modes
1690     (88 to be compatible with 88 colour xterm which is widely
1691     supported, and most programs assume a non-iso colourtable
1692     for terminals with "odd" number of colours).

1698     speeds up output immensely in case a character cannot be found
1699     (only for non-bold right now).
1700     - fix segfault in fading code on certain escape sequences.
1701     - better default font size and style.
1702     - rxvt-unicode is now much more picky about fonts not fitting
1703     into the base font, but to offset this it will check each
1704     single character against the base font extents and will only
1705     use the characters fitting into the bounding box (+ some fudge).
1706     - characters not fitting into the base boundary box will now often
1707     be used anyways, but the following characters will be redrawn
1708     more often to avoid pixel-droppings. This is like the original
1709     rxvt pixel-dropping pass but it's much faster.
1710     - scrollColor now affects plain scrollbar (Mikael Magnusson).
1711     - fixed segfault in overlay code when height was larger than the
1712     screen height.
1713     - cursor no longer shines "through" the overlay.
1714     - 7-bit ST marker detection was broken.
1715     - scrollbar didn't come back sometimes when switching it
1716     off/on using escape sequences (Mikael Magnusson).
1717     - fix lots of colour problems with focus fading.
1718     - $COLORFGBG was not set as documented.

1731     "cannot create input context" in most cases.
1732     - fix coordinates used for Over && OffTheSpot editing to fit directly
1733     at the cursor (Over) or into the top line (Off).
1734     - reset SIGHUP and SIGPIPE handlers to default values (they were
1735 sf-exg 1.1035 previously being ignored, causing programs not to exit on window
1736 root 1.430 close).

1744     #202497). This is _not_ a bug in rxvt but rather a race
1745     condition in other programs (e.g. jed). It works by forcefully
1746     sending SIGWINCH when rxvt sees the first output from the
1747     command. This workaround isn't perfect (a slight cost to
1748     wellbehaving programs who need to resize twice), but it usually

1758     - fixed printscreen functionality, as noted by Jinesh Choksi.
1759     - fix a problem where redraws of double-width characters sometimes
1760     made the last character draw with normal width (especially visible
1761     with selections).

1764 root 1.430 - SECURITY FIX: rxvtd kept open filehandles to other terminal
1765     windows when spawning children. Actual risk is low (attacker
1766     needs access to a local shell window).
1767     - implemented parts 5.1 and 5.2 of ISO 14755 (i.e. hold down
1768     Ctrl+Shift and enter hex numbers. space commits it as a unicode
1769     character, or press and release Crl+Shift and then enter a
1770 sf-exg 1.1063 function key to get its picture). patches for 5.3 (or 5.4 with
1771 root 1.430 a little window or so) would be welcome.
1772     - fixed large pastes (INCR selections, debian bug #191456).
1773     - fixed longstanding bug in which rxvtd crashed when
1774     a message was logged after startup (a rare case).
1775     - got rid of yodl completely by converting to pod.
1776     - integrated the FAQ into the manpage. In the future, more will be
1777     added there.
1778     - reference documentation is now installed as rxvt(7).
1779     - rxvt(7) now contains README.configure, which is autogenerated.
1780 root 1.168 - fix memory leak in insecure mode on certain display echos.
1781 root 1.430 - report sequences now report empty strings in secure mode
1782     instead of being ignored.
1783     - enable some report sequences even in secure mode, such as colour
1784     queries, as they are harmless(tm).
1785     - rxvt-unicode will now try to find a matching xft font if it can't
1786     find a matching font from the fallback list. It might look ugly,
1787     but if a xft font with our character exists, rxvt will find it.
1788     - moved FreeMono to the very back of the fallback list, as some
1789     people complain it looks ugly. This is a no-win situation, though.
1790     - fixed sourceforge bug 998970, reported against aterm:
1791     "crash on -sl 0 on super small windows".
1792     - decreased memory and code size when !--enable-transparency.
1793     - SYNCCVS. backported changes done to rxvt, except for Color_ufbg,
1794     which I think is better done through fading, and libW11, which
1795     needs testing anyways.
1796     - more complete compile options help output.
1797     - Provide linear scaled colour cubes for 256 colour mode.
1798     Pass them through as rgbi rather than rgb so that Xlib can
1799     provide gamma (from per visual intensity lists) rather than
1800     providing constant gamma ourselves. Noticed by and ideas from
