24 | - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: A scale value of 0 in the bg image |

26 | TOOD: 2640667 59576 78504 2778747 2a667b /opt/rxvt/bin/rxvt |
26 | to disable both scaling and tiling. |
27 | TOOD: 2640913 59576 78504 2778993 2a6771 /opt/rxvt/bin/rxvt |
27 | - overhaul of the bg image operations. The old operations have |
28 | TODO: "require" perl5.10+ and enable unicode in selection code |
28 | been removed in favour of simple composable operations and |
|
|
29 | styles built on top of the new operations and scale/position |
|
|
30 | settings. Old operations are still parsed for backward |
|
|
31 | compatibility (Emanuele Giaquinta). |
|
|
32 | - fix a redraw bug that occurs when a bg pixmap is set and the |
|
|
33 | wm does not honour the size hints set by urxvt. Now urxvt |
|
|
34 | forces the size of the terminal window to be a multiple of |
|
|
35 | the cell size. |
|
|
36 | - sanitise the argument of SD / SU sequences. Fixes a possible |
|
|
37 | crash when the argument is big enough, red hat bug #711137 |
|
|
38 | (Emanuele Giaquinta). |
|
|
39 | - correctly split long lines when scrolling. |
|
|
40 | - Fix compilation on systems with bsd style utmp and no utmpx, |
|
|
41 | such as openbsd. |
|
|
42 | - consume button release event in matcher (exg). |
|
|

|
|
47 | - fix regression in processing of SelectionNotify events. |
|
|
48 | urxvt would fail to request a selection if the owner did not |
|
|
49 | support the UTF8_STRING target. |
|
|
50 | - fix rendering of double width chars in certain circumstances, more |
|
|
51 | likely to happen if urxvt is compiled with 256 colors support as |
|
|
52 | urxvt runs out of fonts much earlier then. Fixes gentoo bug #358151 |
|
|
53 | (Emanuele Giaquinta). |
|
|
54 | - restore support for 'list' syntax in keysym resources (requested by Sung Pae). |
|
|
55 | - always premultiply colour values - while this increases differences between |
|
|
56 | core fonts and xft, it is "more correct" in practical situations. |
|
|
57 | - disable PTYTTY_REENTRANT option - not needed for urxvt and saves a bit of code. |
|
|
58 | - remove lucidatypewriter from the list of fallback fonts, it was the only |
|
|
59 | non-xft non-cellfont in the list anyway. |
|
|

|

63 | - remove 'list' syntax for keysym resources, as it serves no useful purpose. |
|
|
64 | If you need it, poke us and provide a use case. |
|
|
65 | - fix alpha channel support. Premultiply alpha in colours if the visual |
|
|
66 | supports an alpha channel, as xrender expects premultiplied alpha |
|
|
67 | (Emanuele Giaquinta). |
|
|
68 | - fix reply to a selection request sent by an obsolete client |
|
|
69 | such as syncterm (patch by Marcin Cieslak). |
