9WISH: just for fun, do shade and tint with XRender. 11WISH: 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.
15WISH: coloured pastebin
16WISH: load system-wide config file even if we don't have one

27TODO: "require" perl5.10+ and enable unicode in selection code
28 - fix a possible crash if the INCR transfer process for a
29 selection property timeouts and at least one chunk is
30 received. (Emanuele Giaquinta)
31 - work around as memory corruption bug in xorg's XrmSetDatabase (apparently
32 broken since http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/xorg-commit-diffs/2004-March/000239.html).
33 - gdk-pixbuf is autodetected by default and preferred over libafterimage.
34 - do not prepend a newline to the selection text when the starting line
35 of the selection is not highlighted (Emanuele Giaquinta).
36 - don't swap perl env with real env, save and restore it, just in case
37 we ever get recursive perl invocations. also saves a bit of codespace
38 with gcc.
39 - fix various memory leaks (Emanuele Giaquinta).
40 - fix typo in kIC terminfo capability, debian bug #446444.
41 - fix debian bug #504817, to the extent possible.
42 - try to detect byte order at compile time, seems to work around weird linking
43 errors on freebsd (seems to have trouble with static member variables) - also
44 saves a couple of hundred bytes, if your compiler is smart enough.
45 - add support for previewing the pasted data in confirm-paste
46 (Emanuele Giaquinta).
47 - added "newlines to spaces" option in selection-popup.
48 - actually enabled solaris event ports backends (was disabled by accident).
49 - revert to 38400 baud max., mission accomplished.
50
519.10 Mon Dec 13 17:43:52 CET 2010
52 - the "schmorp=north korea dickey=south korea" release.
53 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: make OSC 20 simpler and more correct
54 (Emanuele Giaquinta).
55 - if options were compiled out, this could lead to the option
56 count to be defined wrongly. This is likely behind the
57 failures with gcc 4.5.
58 - explicitly depend on fontconfig and xrender when xft support
59 is enabled. Although the public Xft api uses types from
60 both, in Xft 2.2.0 these libs are private
61 dependencies only thanks to an idiotic behaviour of
62 pkg-config that was added to workaround cases like this one.
63 Fixes linking when using GNU ld with --as-needed or GNU gold
64 (based on patch by Jan Palus).
65 - fix minor memory leaks in urxvt and urxvtd.
66 - fix regression in urxvtd that prevented options from being correctly
67 set (reported by Michal Vaner).
68 - implement xterm's horribly broken 1005 mouse reporting mode,
69 and an alternative 1015 mode that works in non-utf-8 locales
70 and has fewer limitations.
71 - fix a possible bug where mouse notifications didn't work after
72 startup for the upper left corner.
73 - implement our own pixbuf to pixmap rendering to get rid of
74 dependency on buggy gdk-pixbuf-xlib. Only truecolor visuals
75 are supported (Emanuele Giaquinta).
76 - apply tinting before shading when both operations are requested.
77 Previously they were intermixed when lightening and the result
78 was inaccurate and confusing. Note that now a black tint yields a
79 completely black image, regardless of shading (Emanuele Giaquinta).
80 - avoid spurious redraws of the bg image when bg is transparent or
81 when using 'root' mode (Emanuele Giaquinta).
82 - fix build on XFree86.
83 - dynamically number options according to compiletime requirements.
84 For the extra saved byte. Or so. Yay.
85 - start options at one, not zero. Wastes a bit per terminal. Maybe.
86 saves 50 instruction bytes. Possibly.
87
889.09 Sat Nov 13 01:39:07 CET 2010
89 - NOTICE: this release updates terminfo/termcap.
90 - the bestest release ever.
91 - it was verified that urxvt handles µ and μ correctly.
92 - add support for blending and blurring with XRender (Emanuele Giaquinta).
93 - add support for using gdk-pixbuf as image backend (Emanuele Giaquinta).
94 - cleanup and minor fixes of the image code (Emanuele Giaquinta).
95 - new perl extension "confirm-paste" (Emanuele Giaquinta).
96 - new on_tt_paste perl hook and tt_paste perl binding (Emanuele Giaquinta).
97 - new on_bell perl hook (Emanuele Giaquinta).
98 - searchable-scrollback no longer ignores the first line
99 (Emanuele Giaquinta).
100 - properly set VSTATUS in termios for *BSD (reported by Ed Schouten).
101 - fix utmpx detection on upcoming FreeBSD 9.
102 - Use COMPOUND_TEXT encoding for WM_NAME/WM_ICON_NAME value when it
103 is not fully convertible to STRING (patch by James Cloos).
104 - fix a buffer overflow that would cause wrong key sequences to
105 be generated for numpad keys (introduced in 9.05).
106 - fix definition of sgr0 to work around limitations in luit.
107 - extend ISO 14755 5.4 mode to also print the font name of the
108 characters other than first one in the selected cell
109 (Emanuele Giaquinta).
110 - new iso14755 option to disable ISO 14755 at runtime
111 (Emanuele Giaquinta).
112 - make sure pagewise scrolling scrolls at least one line
113 (found by Mikachu).
114 - remove deprecated OSC 18 / 19 and make OSC 17 / 19 apply to
115 highlightColor / highlightTextColor (Emanuele Giaquinta).
116 - add highlightTextColor resource to change the foreground colour of
117 highlighted characters (Emanuele Giaquinta).
118 - make highlightColor apply also to selected cells with reverse video
119 but not to non selected cells with reverse video (Emanuele Giaquinta).
120 - remove colorRV resource (it was enabled only with frills off).
121 - fix numlock handling, the most longstanding bug to date (Emanuele Giaquinta).
122 - reduce the number of custom bits to 4, to make room
123 for 256 colours.
124 - add support for 256 colors (Emanuele Giaquinta, Marc Lehmann).
125 - add rxvt-unicode-256color terminfo and use it by default in 256 colors mode.
126 - update rxvt-unicode terminfo to state 7744 colour pairs to cover all
127 88*88 possible pairs.
128 - actually added macosx-clipboard-native, which should have been in
129 the 9.07 release but had been forgotten.
130 - fix hang if DECAWM is not set and there are not enough columns to insert a
131 character (Emanuele Giaquinta).
132 - cub1 ("backspace") will now respect wrapping when past the rightmost column,
133 working around a shortcoming of most tty line discipline's line editing.
134 - add support for grabbing the clipboard selection and extend
135 selection{_clear,_grab,} perl bindings to optionally work
136 on the clipboard selection (based on patch by Dana Jansens).
137 - no longer force CERASE to BACKSPACE - use the system default. affects
138 default value for VERASE only when no compatible setting for
139 backspacekey was given.
140 - use higher than 38400 baudrate setting, if detected.
141 - erase screen would clear to the wrong background when blinking
142 was enabled (which selects high intensity under some circumstances).
143 - scr_kill_char didn't touch the line.
144 - upgrade and port to libev-4.01.
145 - enabled solaris event ports and kqueue backends (if available).
146
1479.07 Wed Dec 30 07:07:18 CET 2009
148 - port to glibc-2.10 changes (strchr etc. returning const char *
149 in C++), based on patches by Milos Jakubicek and Oliver Mader.
150 - the binary search algorithm to find precomposed characters
151 was faulty, skipping some possible combinations (found by
152 Mikachu).
153 - new -letterspace option, patch by Mark H. Wilkinson.
154 - enable --mlock option for urxvt with frills on
155 systems supporting it (patch by Russell Harmon).
156 - urxvt did not compile without frills enabled
157 (analysed by Matthew Rosewarne).
158 - correctly reset the mbstate after an illegal
159 input sequence when handling terminal output (Emanuele Giaquinta).
160 - avoid redrawing wide characters with combining enabled on every
161 refresh (reported by Mikachu).
162 - fix a typo preventing the ISO-646.1991 character set from being
163 recognized (http://achurch.org/patch-pile/).
164 - better warning for x11 font encoding detection failures, also,
165 try to deduce encoding from both font properties and name
166 (adapted from http://achurch.org/patch-pile/).
167 - resizing the window with the scrollbar disabled via the escapes
168 sequence could make the window bigger again (Mikachu).
169 - make sure the alignment for fd passing control messages
170 is correct and work around some NetBSD issues (Taylor R Campbell).
171 - update to libptytty 1.3.
172 - replace macosx-clipboard by a nicer version by Reza Jelveh, and move
173 the old version to macosx-clipboard-native.
174 - document the -uc option (Emanuele Giaquinta).
175 - assertions in libev are now enabled depending on frills.
176 - update AnyEvent implementation to version 5.23 API.
177 - work around arrogant bsd idiocies again: netbsd spills the default
178 namespace with lots of symbols "for gnu/gcc compatibility" even
179 though neither of them does it, and then calls the rest of the world
180 in need of fixing. go figure.
181 - on_keyboard_command is on_user_command (patch by Michael Witten).
182 - setting the selection from perl will now reset the selection screen
183 to the current screen. the screen can be manipulated using
184 the new ->selection_screen method.
185 - implement --enable-assert configure option and get rid of DEBUG_STRICT
186 (based on patch by Emanuele Giaquinta).
187 - fix printpipe data output (patch by Emanuele Giaquinta).
188 - allow `xxx' quoting style for perl selection.
189 - upgrade to libev-3.9 prerelease.
190 - updated compose tables to unicode 5.2.0.
191
1929.06 Sat Nov 8 17:47:18 CET 2008
193 - NOTICE: this release updates terminfo/termcap.
194 - updates libev to 3.48.
195 - the aterm code now frees the as visual and image manager objects
196 when a window was closed.
197 - do not (wrongly) adjust the virtual line length inside
198 scr_insdel_chars/ERASE (Miroslav Lichvar).
199 - fix an issue where wide tab characters caused character shifts
200 when part of them was deleted (tracked down by Miroslav Lichvar).
201 - artificially enlargen the previous character at the end of a line
202 when trying to output a character that doesn't fit. looks ugly, but
203 makes copy&paste work.
204 - remove bogus "setuid/setgid security issues" from rxvt.1.pod, they
205 no longer apply.
206 - the urgency hint is now cleared on both focus in and focus out.
207 - cache urgency hint locally to avoid server rtt on every focus change.
208 - perl 5.10 needs PERL_SYS_INIT3 on hppa.
209 - ignore byte-order marks and do not treat them like combining characters.
210 - fix build issue when CURSOR_BLINK is not defined (Emanuele Giaquinta).
211 - do some µ-optimisations to the character fast path.
212 - use a less cunning, but more robust algorithm to avoid one terminal
213 monopolising the whole process by outputting a lot of text.
214 - try to work around linux first breaking sched_yield and now breaking
215 the only known workaround.
216 - new option -icon to set _NET_WM_ICON (based on patch by Frank Schmitt).
217 - initialise the as visual only on demand, instead of unconditionally,
218 to save memory in the common case of not using visual gimmicks.
219 - try to work around bugs in a few wm's that erroneously resize
220 client windows on hint property updates by temporarily
221 disabling size hints.
222 - implement the DECSTR soft reset sequence and use it for tput init,
223 and make hard RIS and DECSTR both reset more private modes, such
224 as mouse reporting.
225 - redundantly clear mouse reporting and a few other states in
226 tput init/tput reset, for older urxvts.
227 - partial/full clear screens did cause flickering and possibly pixel
228 droppings when urxvt viewed the scrollback buffer.
229 - use current rendition style in DCH sequence.
230 - the 132/80 mode switch no longer forces a screen reset.
231 - add an osc sequence to change the border colour (Emanuele Giaquinta).
232 - new perl extension "overlay-osc", for status displays and the like.
233 - fix some minor cursor drawing issues with overlays by allowing
234 overlays to modify screen flags (to disable the cursor themselves).
235 - work around programs not restoring rstyle before rmcup
236 (analysed by Miroslav Lichvar).
237
2389.05 Sun Jun 15 20:09:20 CEST 2008
239 - new option --cd/chdir to set the starting working directory.
240 - tabbed extension now starts in the "correct" working directory.
241 - work around fedora 9 providing isastream but not the relevant
242 header file for it (report by Tuncer Ayaz).
243 - upgrade libev, fixing a bug in the select backend.
244 with more than 31 file descriptors on non-linux 64 bit systems.
245 - correctly reset the multibyte state to the initial one
246 after EILSEQ (patch by Neil Booth). This fixes the
247 issue of rxvt-unicode not properly displaying text after an illegal
248 sequence on NetBSD and probably other systems.
249 - more intelligent property handling with -pe tabbed, works around
250 broken window managers (kwm et al.), saves bandwidth and should
251 help working window managers as well.
252 - made tabs moveable (based on a patch by Petr Machata).
253 - implement ESC [ 3 K as a more rational alternative to ESC [ 0 K.
254 - support relative paths for RXVT_SOCKET in urxvtd.
255 - the tabbed extension now blindly copies over all (rxvt-) resources
256 from the toplevel window to the children.
257 - better diagnostic on 0x0 window geometries.
258 - update AnyEvent API to version 3.4 and above.
259 - document the default value of :0 for DISPLAY.
260 - rename perl method XChangeWindowProperty to XChangeProperty.
261
2629.02 Tue Jan 29 11:58:36 CET 2008
263 - the "exg makes everybody happy" release.
264 - fix build with !xft.
265 - always compile in plain style scrollbar (simplifies code and looks great).
266
2679.01 Sat Jan 26 20:49:27 CET 2008
268 - be more aggressive about handling X events, this seems to be required
269 with newer xlibs (should fix the "screen stays black until event is
270 received" problem, again :)
271 - add buffered resource to control xft double-buffering.
272
2739.0 Fri Jan 25 19:34:04 CET 2008
274 - fix a crash bug where urxvtd would crash when urxvtc was called
275 with wrong arguments (I wish debian maintainers in general would
276 report bugs and their proposed fixes to the original package maintainers
277 instead of sitting on them for good measure to see if anybody notices).
278 - drawing xft compose characters was causing garbage to be drawn.
279 - correctly clear xft character background in all cases.
280 - implement bracketed paste mode (xterm private mode 2004).
281 - improve documentation on alpha channel handling, make urxvt
282 work better on servers lacking the RENDER extension when alpha
283 channels or background images are used.
284 - check for refresh after initialising to avoid staying blank
285 till the first event arrives. or so.
286 - the FORCE_UNBUFFERED_XFT feature macro works again.
287 - continuously update transparency while moving/resizing now.
288 - OSC 39/49 are deprecated and aliased to OSC 10/11.
289 - cub1 now acts as advertised (and ignores the "wrapped" state).
290 - the 132/80 mode switch now forces a height of 24, too, and
291 resets the terminal.
292 - scrollbar code cleanups.
293 - stopping children is no longer confused with children exiting.
294 - removed (undocumented) #aarrggbb format.
295 - updated to libev 3.0.
296
2978.9 Mon Dec 24 07:51:40 CET 2007
298 - fix the issue where urxvtd would not immediately close a window
299 when the command exited but only on the next X event.
300 - changed terminfo file not to use application keypad mode.
301 - fix the issue where making a selection in one urxvtd window
302 would not clear it visually in another.
303 - fix an issue of urxvt not getting background pixmap updates
304 and flickering after bg pixmap changes (reported by Mikachu).
305 - fix redraw bug in xterm scrollbar with -sr (reported by Mikachu).
306 - correctly provide dependencies for libev (µikachu).
307 - minor code reorganisations and cleanups.
308 - be more robust in case the urxvt-popup extension cannot be loaded.
309
3108.8 Sat Dec 15 19:40:39 CET 2007
311 - option -C was aliased to all unsupported options, activating
312 options that shouldn't be compiled in, leading to interesting
313 effects.
314 - updated libev, working around a bug in linux 2.4, curing the
315 symptom of urxvt not closing its window on shell exit. also
316 fixes a problem with urxvt not refreshing.
317 - the text blink callback was called even when no blinking
318 text was visible.
319 - pre-8.4 slipwheeling behaviour has been reinstated, with
320 some minor improvements.
321 - streamlined x events processing to only flush once per
322 display and not once per terminal window.
323 - quite a bit of minor code cleanups and codesize optimisations.
324
3258.7 Sun Nov 25 10:23:49 CET 2007
326 - update libev with an important bugfix that would cause crashes
327 when closing windows (when using rxvtd, and update is recommended).
328 - do not compile in the block builtin graphics with --disable-frills.
329
3308.6 Fri Nov 23 14:10:57 CET 2007
331 - upgrade libev to disable kqueue on anything but netbsd as it
332 seems to be broken everywhere else w.r.t. ptys.
333 - allow for spurious event notifications, as at least epoll and
334 especially solaris ports like to lie about them (symptoms:
335 urxvt "hangs" until there is some x11 related activity).
336 - -keysym command line options are now subjected to xlib parsing.
337 - add 'xrm' option analogous to Xt one.
338
3398.5a Wed Nov 21 10:16:33 CET 2007
340 - make it compile with --disable-transparency.
341
3428.5 Wed Nov 21 05:19:20 CET 2007
343 - expect major portability issues in this release: please test and report.
344 - converted from the veritable io manager event loop to
345 the high performance libev (http://software.schmorp.de/pkg/libev).
346 - minor tuning to the perl selection (include single words and more quoting chars).
347 - fix memory leak in pixmap code.
348 - fix a serious bug while setting the XIM destroy callback
349 on (typical) 64 bit systems.
350 - automove-background functionality re-implemented internally using :root op in pixmap
351 geometry string. For example: rxvt -pixmap "image.jpg;:root"
352 - do not link rxvtc against every lib on the planet anymore.
353 - parallel builds should work once more.
354
3558.4 Sat Oct 27 14:02:13 CEST 2007
356 - overhaul of the transparency/pixmap code (sasha).
357 - fix possible race between visual bell and poweron.
358 (reported by Martin von Gagern, gentoo?).
359 - urxvt -e no longer crashes the child.
360 - fixed some minor memleaks on incorrect usage or
361 missing DISPLAY.
362 - implement xterm 1002/1003 mouse tracking modes (exg).
363 - source code organisational cleanups (exg).
364 - updated io_manager.
365
3668.3 Wed Aug 1 20:21:31 CEST 2007
367 - new option: skipScroll/-ss, enabled by default.
368 - go with the times and expect x11 library files in /usr/lib, not
369 /usr/X11R6/lib.
370 - initial transparency improvement/afterimage support
371 patch by Sasha Vasko.
372 - add urgentOnBell resource to set the urgency hint
373 (patch by Philip Paeps).
374 - do not process focus events caused by grabs
375 (patch by Mikachu).
376 - add iso14755_52 resource to disable iso14755 5.2 (exg).
377 - add binding for backspace in iso14755 5.1 to remove the last
378 digit (exg).
379 - better option handling, support more than 30 options (exg).
380 - nuke reconf script, serves no purpose anymore.
381 - fixed and documented matcher/on_user_command processing in matcher
382 extension (tpope).
383 - compile out of the box on Solaris 10 (exg).
384 - fix MappingNotify events (reported by Stephan Walter).
385 - zero-initialise mwmhints, this seems to solve all sorts of minor
386 problems.
387
3888.2 Sat Feb 17 21:35:28 CET 2007
389 - fix make depend in src/, reported by exg.
390 - fixed typo in urxvt::GET_CUSTOM, causing the result to be wrong.
391 (patch by Sergey Vlasov).
392 - unbundled iom perl interface somewhat.
393 - scrollbar-xterm now uses the selected scrollColor instead of fg
394 (found by Aiviru).
395 - disabled linux kernel bug workaround again: disabling it gives
396 a 50% speed hit on affected machines, while enabling it gives
397 a similar speed hit to screen, which is likely the more common
398 case to work around for :/
399 - urxvt::rend2mask perl function, and utilization of it by matcher
400 (patch by Moshe Kamensky).
401 - use perl:matcher on a keysym to open most recently displayed URL.
402 - with matcher, when multiple patterns match, last wins, not first.
403 - fix make and make install with srcdir != builddir (exg).
404 - updated bundled libptytty to fix a bug where the tty would be kept
405 open (see the libptytty ChangeLog for details).
406 - delay setting the IUTF8 flag to after the tty settings have been
407 set so its value does not get lost (reported and analysed by Andrei
408 Paskevich).
409 - rip out support for obsolete sgtty.h interface.
410 - rip out support for non-POSIX termios variants.
411 - update libptytty.
412 - update iom.C, make it call ptytty::sanitise_stdfd on init.
413 - when !XFT, change rounding of colours to use a less correct formula to
414 meet user expectancies (#aaa becomes #a000a000a000 not #9f9f9f9f9f9f).
415 - change the starting offset of the pixmap set with backgroundPixmap
416 from (50,50) to (0,0) (exg).
417 - fix a typo in button_release, now meta-button2 request the value of
418 the Clipboard selection as it should (patch by Serge Koksharov).
419 - fix a bug in drawing a cell with a nonspacing char when using an xft
420 font with inheritPixmap and tintColor (exg).
421
4228.1 Thu Dec 7 22:27:25 CET 2006
423 - ケリスマスプレゼント - zomg!!1, it's too early!!!
424 - fix the assumption that chars < 256 are single-width. Now
425 only assume this for codepoints 32 to 126 (reported by Dai.H.).
426 - $term->strwidth returned wide chars as width 1, because some jerk
427 confused min and max. Fixing this also fixes xim-onthespot.
428 Reported by Takano Akio.
429 - secondaryScroll is now enabled by default (as per the manpage),
430 reported by exg.
431 - correct the description of [percent]color rgba format in the manpage.
432 - incorporated macosx-clipboard extension by Samuel Ljungkvist.
433 - ignore (some) useless focus events (reported by mmc).
434 - updated compose table to unicode 5.0.0.
435
4368.0 Thu Nov 2 18:35:19 CET 2006
437 - combining characters cleared the area instead of creating an overlay,
438 thus losing the ability to draw combining characters properly in most
439 circumstances (reported by exg).
440 - specified fonts were incorrectly morphed to bold/italic according to the
441 basefont, even if explicitly specified (tracked down by tpope).
442 - fixed urxvt::strwidth to calculate width in the same way as screen.C.
443 - fix a crash caused by passing negative widths to overlay functions.
444 - added 'matcher' extension by tpope, replacing the mark-urls extension.
445 - improve url regex to match anything www.* (tpope).
446 - fixed bug with outline cursor color being wrong after xft fonts.
447 - update to libptytty-1.0.
448 - give proper diagnostic when RXVT_SOCKET is too long instead of
449 corrupting the stack (patch by exg).
450 - display current terminal locale in option menu.
451 - urxvtd no longer crashes when the client sends an inaccessible
452 working directory (reported by Roland Baer, possibly fixes gentoo
453 bug #143985).
454 - fixed many minor issues reported by Roland Baer.
455 - Leonid Khramov spotted a minor glitch in rxvtfont.C that
456 should not have any consequences, but was buggy nonetheless.
457 - manpage fix by exg.
458
4597.9 Mon Aug 7 18:16:07 CEST 2006
460 - fix the crashing bug people encountered with 7.8 + urxvtd + perl
461 + transparency. Ought to fix debian bug #380348.
462 - fix urxvtc.1.pod: it actually claimed -pty-fd would not work. But
463 it does! :->
464 - rxvt_fatal() in case the locale string is too long for our static buffer.
465 - fixed many, many, typos in the manpages (patch supplied by ves).
466
4677.8 Mon Jul 17 21:00:46 CEST 2006
468 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: this version will always read ~/.Xdefaults,
469 earlier versions only read it if display-resources (usually from
470 .Xresources) are not set. This avoids the #1 FAQ ("why isn't my
471 resource used") and seems to be logical behaviour, too. .Xdefaults
472 resources have a lower priority than display-specific resources.
473 - add "kuake" perl extension that does a similar thing to the kuake
474 terminal emulator (see man urxvtperl).
475 - use less "correct" color scaling that is compatible with libX11 and
476 Xft (avoids off-by-one colors resulting in striped backgrounds).
477 - the "depth" resource is now respected.
478 - preset the searchable-scrollback pattern with "(?i)" to default search
479 to case-insensitivity. Will automatically be cleared when typing an
480 uppercase character.
481 - add FORCE_UNBUFFERED_XFT define to features.h.
482 - re-enabled highlightcolor support with --enable-frills, based on
483 a patch by Martin Stubenschrott.
484 - double-buffered xft drawing did suffer from pixel offset issues
485 when pixmap transparency was enabled.
486 - strategically add # to the url-match regexes, as we really want to
487 match common URIs not common URLs. Reported by Aaron Griffin.
488 - moved on_osc_seq to on_osc_seq_perl and added a more
489 generic osc_seq.
490 - fix a bug causing double callback invocations when perl hooks
491 were invoked recursively.
492 - the automove-background extension now properly works when the
493 pixmap gets reset with an osc sequence (sqweek).
494 - selection-pastebin did not work properly with non-latin1-characters.
495 - apply colorUL only when the text colour is the default fg
496 (patch by Wu Fengguang).
497 - removed rxvtlib.h from the tarball, it had no reason to be there
498 (spotted by Decklin Foster).
499 - fix compiling with TRANSPARENT but !XPM_BACKGROUND, as reported
500 by omatunto_.
501 - slap in a using namespace std, might help on platforms that don't
502 follow C++ closely enough.
503 - fix mailto url regex, spotted within milliseconds by Jost Krieger.
504 - applied fade_color_update_func.patch by WU Fengguang.
505 - fix a bug where (due to an optimisation in av_delete), hiding the
506 bottom-most overlay would hide two overlays.
507
5087.7 Tue Feb 21 12:32:49 CET 2006
509 - use double-buffered drawing (xft fonts only). On many driver/hardware
510 combination this actually increases xft drawing speed, at the expense
511 of more network bandwidth and slight nausea on the side of the author.
512 - readline perl extension now requires shift-click instead of a normal
513 click, and eats the click.
514 - tabbed perl extension now supports -e.
515 - disabled graphics-exposures on the main drawing GC, report any
516 refresh bugs please.
517 - improve property handling for -pe tabbed: avoid unnecessary property
518 changes (for kde's benefit) at the expense of extra round-trips,
519 improve size hint setting.
520 - modified XIM according to a patch sent by Takano Akio that sets
521 the preedit rectangle for OverTheSpot, which helps some input methods
522 to correctly position their preedit window.
523 - un-optimise the line clearing on newly scrolled-in lines a bit: the
524 former reasoning was that any fg colour on default bg looks the same
525 in empty spaces, but that's not true when reversing (e.g. selection),
526 so also check for matching fg colours. This fixes the problem where
527 selecting newly scrolled-in lines would exhibit wrong colours.
528 - fix a bug in the perl interface causing focus in events to generate
529 focus out perl events, causing bad focus effects with -pe tabbed.
530 - fix a race resulting in a crash on exiting.
531 - fix a with --disable-xft that caused xfreecolors to be called on
532 colors never allocated, resulting in aborts (reported by Paco-Paco).
533 - resources on non-initial screens weren't refetched correctly
534 (reported by Paco-Paco).
535 - fix a bug in xcopyarea pass and _disable_ it, as it seems not to be
536 working in either rxvt-unicode nor in the original rxvt.
537 - removed undocumented -exec alias for the -e option.
538
5397.6 Fri Feb 10 08:52:36 CET 2006
540 - changed interpretation of [alpha] colour prefix.
541 - +option now really sets the option to default, instead of using the
542 resource value.
543 - options that require an argument now really _require_ an argument.
544 - the tabbed extension now forwards focus and key events to the
545 relevant tab window.
546 - tab colours are now configurable and have sensible defaults
547 (initial patch by hednod).
548 - option menu is extendable, readline, selection and
549 selection-autotransform can now be disabled/enabled at runtime.
550 - forcing a configure event to tabbed subwindows with -pe tabbed, for
551 the benefit of automove-background.
552 - the automove-background extension added a wrong constant offset.
553 - force refresh of XA_RESOURCE_STRING on virtual reconnect.
554 - return exit status 2 in urxvtc when urxvtd couldn't be contacted.
555 - the linux yield hack is back, now using usleep, and enabled only on
556 __linux__.
557 - further round trip eliminations in the !XFT case by remembering
558 the colour components.
559 - plain scrollbar works better with -sr.
560 - fixed half-shadow scrollbar look.
561 - more colour rtt optimisations.
562 - properly(?) free colours on window close.
563 - reorganised the FAQ into multiple sections.
564 - add ISO646.1991-IRV to the list of supported codesets.
565 - minor libptytty update.
566
5677.5 Tue Jan 31 15:15:43 CET 2006
568 - further improvements to the careful mode detection, and font width
569 detection:
570 - fully double-wide fonts will now be correctly treated,
571 - overlap detection was improved.
572 - detect totally broken fonts (usually synthesized by xft).
573 - careful mode forced refresh sometimes clashed with blinking,
574 causing unnecessary screen redraws.
575 - better handling of XFT combining characters.
576 - enable antialiasing for some replacement fonts, as they
577 might get used for other encodings which really need it, later.
578 - remove spacing=100 from all default fonts, as this creates totally
579 weird spacing (5 times normal) with xft.
580 - removed iso10646 fallback, as xorgs iso10646 encoded fonts are mostly
581 broken.
582 - removed gnu unifont fallback, all combining characters are broken.
583 - replace named colours by xorg's rgb.txt equivalents, to
584 reduce round trip time on startup, and short-cut allocation
585 of rgb:rr/gg/bb for xft.
586 - short-cut allocation of rgb values in the xlib case
587 (patch by Paco-Paco).
588 - overhauled color management: smaller codesize, alpha support.
589 - support "rgba:rrrr/gggg/bbbb/aaaa" color specifications and
590 an "[alpha]" prefix.
591 - try to work around Xft and Xrender forcing everything to be 100%
592 transparent. Long Live Xft!
593 - do not include X11/Intrinsic.h anymore, directly use
594 Xlib/Xutil/Xresource directly.
595 - try to find a nearest matching color when color allocation fails
596 on a pseudocolor screen.
597 - SYNCCVS: compared to rxvt-cvs 2006-01-28, no relevant changes.
598 - fix version report (DA) (which was unfortunately broken).
599 - changed version number report again, now to emulate xterm closer.
600 - added the OSC sequence 702 to detect the urxvt version number.
601 - small configure updates.
602 - further RTT optimisations.
603 - backported clean-up patches for makefiles and documentation from
604 the debian package.
605 - updated doc/rxvt-unicode.spec file. It's still not maintained here,
606 but much newer than the old one.
607
6087.4 Sat Jan 28 15:26:27 CET 2006
609 - screen background wasn't always erased properly when scrolling,
610 - re-enabled clearing optimisation disabled in 7.4pre.
611 - small configure updates for libptytty.
612 - fixed version options: line output.
613 - removed stoopid debugging message left in the code.
614
6157.3 Wed Jan 25 22:47:35 CET 2006
616 - don't let iso14755 or mouse reporting get into the way of perl
617 (could lead to global grabs never being cleared).
618 - experimental OnTheSpot editing support (-pe xim-onthespot).
619 - moved Shift-Button2 paste combination to Meta-Button2.
620 - the cutchars resource will now be respected and used by the
621 selection extension.
622 - added the "remote-clipboard" extension which just runs external
623 commands to fetch and store the selection data.
624 - added -depth switch that tries to get a different visual depth
625 than the default (replaces the old PREFER_24_BIT logic).
626 - removed (unused) arabic presentation form composing sequences.
627 - be more strict when deciding that a core font glyph is too wide and
628 needs the careful rendering mode.
629 - allow more leeway for italic fonts when deciding that a character is
630 too wide and needs careful mode.
631 - redraw even more characters around characters using careful mode.
632 - made selection-pastebin fully asynchronous.
633 - reduced number of server turnarounds at startup by allocating
634 atoms only once per display.
635 - renamed on_keyboard_command to on_user_command.
636 - changed version sos (ESC [ > c) response to be more compatible with
637 xterm.
638
6397.2 Sun Jan 22 21:58:16 CET 2006
640 - bugfix: urxvt (not urxvtd) did not correctly handle multiple
641 environments necessary, which resulted in segfaults within
642 getenv (reproducable: urxvt -fn 9x15, open a menu once,
643 ctrl-shift-672c).
644 - bugfix: the selection speedup in in 7.1 unfortunately caused
645 non-ascii characters to enlarge/move the selection.
646 - bugfix: resizing sometimes leaked lines from the secondary to
647 the primary screen.
648 - bugfix: reducing window size while large amounts of text were output
649 could lead to an assertion failure.
650 - added "tabbed" extension that provides a crude tabbed terminal.
651 - added "readline" extension that allows cursor positioning
652 via mouse clicks.
653 - now it is possible to insert the value of the CLIPBOARD selection
654 with shift - mouse button 2.
655 - fixed the automove-background extension to ignore coordinates
656 in non-synthetic events.
657 - created a separate libpty for portable and secure
658 pty/tty/utmp/wtmp/lastlog handling, and include it in rxvt-unicode.
659 - the non-terminfo visual bell now works asynchronously, so
660 continuous ASCI BELs in one terminal do no longer monopolise the
661 whole urxvt[d] process.
662 - support some *BSD makes (for the time being, gnu make is a safe bet).
663 - work around bugs in FreeBSD's gcc.
664 - implemented some *BSD fixes in configure.
665 - removed support for obsolete offix dnd protocol.
666
6677.1 Thu Jan 19 20:25:34 CET 2006
668 - setuid/setgid operation is now _encouraged_: security has been
669 improved by moving privileged operations into a separate process
670 and permanently dropping privileges within the terminal. This
671 makes it possible to remove security checks from the perl code
672 and gives a much safer feeling when urxvt needs to run with
673 special privileges.
674 - perl taint checking disabled, as urxvt no longer runs setuid/setgid
675 itself.
676 - new perl extension automove-background that can be used to get
677 the same effect as pseudo-transparency with any pixmap.
678 - new perl extension example: perl/selection-pastebin, can be used to
679 e.g. upload the selection to a webserver and generate a url, or
680 similar stuff.
681 - use the scrollback buffer even when the scroll region doesn't
682 span the whole screen, as long as it starts at row 0. Helps
683 for programs displaying a status line at the bottom.
684 - selection popup now shows selection in dec/hex/oct.
685 - perl/selection: matching on unicode characters in the selection
686 code was O(n²), which equals infinity in some degenerate cases
687 :-> Matching is now done on UTF-8, which makes it almost instant.
688 - perl/selection, perl/selection-autotransform: regexes are now
689 being interpreted in the locale urxvt was started.
690 - implemented override-redirect option and enabled it on menus,
691 as kwin puts our windows behind the terminal (what a shoddy wm).
692 - fixed struct utmp check in configure for OpenBSD.
693 - complete overhaul of the pty/utmp management stuff and configure
694 (Emanuele Giaquinta=exg).
695 - add tsl/fsl and related capabilities to the terminfo description,
696 to set the window title.
697 - swap the environment in some more cases. This hopefully fixes
698 some segfaults that might be caused by xft asking for env variables
699 at the wrong time.
700 - removed src/strings.C and src/menubar.C. No menubar support
701 anymore.
702 - removed all traces of SMOOTH_REFRESH.
703 - nuked QNX support.
704 - made some fixes to xpm offset and scaling code.
705 - perl-overlays and refresh hooks were not applied in correct order.
706 - changed coordinate-system of view_start/nsaved to be top to bottom.
707 - iom extended to support listening for child exits.
708
7097.0 Fri Jan 13 14:02:18 CET 2006
710 - added sections for DISTRIBUTION MAINTAINERS and about
711 SETUID/SETGID to the FAQ.
712 - selection, searchable-scrollback, selection-popup and
713 option-popup extensions enabled by default.
714 - increased xft drawing speed for problematic fonts. The effect
715 will likely be small as 99% of the xft slowness is server-related.
716 - perl: much increased functionality, better overlays, popup support
717 and much much more.
718 - perl: urxvt::line now can set via ->t and ->r.
719 - perl: changed interpretation of --perl-ext-common and -pe.
720 - perl: finally implemented --perl-eval.
721 - perl: non-blocking anyevent support.
722 - perl: run tainted and ignore perl-eval/perl-lib if started
723 setuid/setgid.
724 - free the resource database: this plugs a massive memory leak. As a
725 side effect, it also gets rid of XGetDefault calls.
726 - free one of the cursors, fixes a small memory leak.
727 - built-in (as opposed to terminfos) visual bell was broken/too fast.
728 - applied minor cleanups by Ladislav Michnovic.
729 - applied pty handling cleanups and improvements (Emanuele Giaquinta).
730 - mark-urls launch-on-click by jepler.
731 - removed "small" resource parsing function, as it wasn't really
732 compatible, and not really small either.
733 - removed PATH_ENV and PATH file search support.
734 - removed support for locale-specific app-defaults file.
735 - fixed a bug where out-of-bounds colour sequences could lead
736 to crashes.
737 - limit colour changing to the standard 88 palette instead of all
738 colours.
739 - XTerm_Color01 sequence returned wrong results in query mode.
740 - iom.C now checks against destructed io_manager when unregistering.
741
7426.3 Wed Jan 4 22:37:10 CET 2006
743 - SECURITY FIX: on systems using openpty, permissions were
744 not correctly updated on the tty device and were left as
745 world-readable and world-writable (likely in original rxvt,
746 too), and were not restored properly. Affected are only
747 systems where non-unix ptys were used (such as most BSDs, not
748 GNU/Linux). (found, patched and debugged by Ryan Beasley).
749 - meta8 support was forcefully enabled in most configurations.
750 restored configurability of this (useless) feature (reported
751 by Mikachu).
11 - optionally embed a perl interpreter, which can be used for more 752 - optionally embed a perl interpreter, which can be used for more

14 perl*-resources and keysym resources. 755 perl*-resources and keysym resources. Not everything is there yet.
756 - try to be more clever about differing font sizes and their ascent.
757 Not guarenteed to work, but works better in most cases now.
15 - fix directory permissions on install. 758 - fix directory permissions on install.
16 - improved sched_yield support. 759 - implemented option to disable built-in line drawing characters
17 - meta8 support was forcefully enabled in most configurations, 760 and fall back to the font ones (patch by Martin Pohlack).
18 restored configurability of this (useless) feature (reported 761 - disabled sched_yield support: the linux version is just too useless
19 by Mikachu) 762 (it schedules nice'd processes before the own one for extended
763 periods). Too bad, it could reduce system time by a factor of 5 here.
