369.14 Wed Dec 21 18:40:33 CET 2011
37 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: the urxvtd default socket path is now
38 $HOME/.urxvt/urxvtd-<nodename>.
39 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: the "list" keysym expansion now requires
40 loading of the "keysym-list" perl extension.
41 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: A scale value of 0 in the bg image
42 geometry no longer enables tiling, so as to make it possible
43 to disable both scaling and tiling.
44 - overhaul of the bg image operations. The old operations have
45 been deprecated in favour of elementary operations and
46 styles built on top of the new operations and scale/position
47 settings. (Emanuele Giaquinta).
48 - support for libafterimage is deprecated and will be removed
49 in the next release.
50 - fix a crash caused by selection_check not properly resetting
51 out-of-bounds mark values (can happen when extending a selection
52 while scrolling up in curses programs for example).
53 - do not move the selection when scrolling up and the selection is
54 outside the scrolling region (Emanuele Giaquinta).
55 - fix display of bold bright black (reported by Ben Winslow).
56 - fix memory leak when urgentOnBell is set (patch by Nathaniel
57 Filardo).
58 - fix a redraw bug that occurs when a bg pixmap is set and the
59 wm does not honour the size hints set by urxvt. Now urxvt
60 forces the size of the terminal window to be a multiple of
61 the cell size.
62 - sanitise the argument of SD / SU sequences. Fixes a possible
63 crash when the argument is big enough, red hat bug #711137
64 (Emanuele Giaquinta).
65 - correctly split long lines when scrolling.
66 - urxvt now looks for perl extensions also in $HOME/.urxvt/ext.
67 - add bell-command perl extension to execute a command when a
68 bell event occurs (Ryan Kavanagh).
69 - add set_urgency perl binding to set/reset the urgency hint.
70 - consume button release event in matcher (exg).
71 - keyboard accessible list of recent matches in matcher
72 (Bob Farrell).
73 - properly process 'keysym' sequences in tabbed when using
74 'focus follows mouse' and the focus is on the main window
75 but not on the active terminal window (patch by Martin
76 Pohlack).
77 - support for the freedesktop startup-notification protocol (patch by
78 Michael Stapelberg).
79 - the direction of VPR and VPB commands was reversed.
80 - fix alignment of inherited root pixmap when it is a different size
81 than the root window and the terminal window is off the left or top
82 edge (Mikachu).
83 - make $self visible in "eval perl expression" popup action, also
84 handle exceptions better.
85 - fix parsing of '-e' when it occurs as an option argument, such as in
86 'urxvt -title -e' (Emanuele Giaquinta).
87
889.12 Wed Jun 29 14:34:28 CEST 2011
89 - fix regression in processing of SelectionNotify events.
90 urxvt would fail to request a selection if the owner did not
91 support the UTF8_STRING target.
92 - fix rendering of double width chars in certain circumstances, more
93 likely to happen if urxvt is compiled with 256 colors support as
94 urxvt runs out of fonts much earlier then. Fixes gentoo bug #358151
95 (Emanuele Giaquinta).
96 - restore support for 'list' syntax in keysym resources (requested by Sung Pae).
97 - always premultiply colour values - while this increases differences between
98 core fonts and xft, it is "more correct" in practical situations.
99 - disable PTYTTY_REENTRANT option - not needed for urxvt and saves a bit of code.
100 - remove lucidatypewriter from the list of fallback fonts, it was the only
101 non-xft non-cellfont in the list anyway.
102
1039.11 Mon May 2 10:34:46 CEST 2011
104 - fix compilation on GNU/Hurd, debian bug #624736.
105 - remove 'list' syntax for keysym resources, as it serves no useful purpose.
106 If you need it, poke us and provide a use case.
107 - fix alpha channel support. Premultiply alpha in colours if the visual
108 supports an alpha channel, as xrender expects premultiplied alpha
109 (Emanuele Giaquinta).
110 - fix reply to a selection request sent by an obsolete client
111 such as syncterm (patch by Marcin Cieslak).
112 - fix crash when the window is resized and the overlay is active
113 (Emanuele Giaquinta, reported by Ryan Kavanagh).
114 - match character-wise rather than byte-wise in selection
115 extension again. perl 5.8.9+ is required to avoid extreme
116 slowdowns. Fixes debian bugs #523072, #616463.
117 - fix a possible crash if the INCR transfer process for a
118 selection property timeouts and at least one chunk is
119 received. (Emanuele Giaquinta)
120 - work around a memory corruption bug in xorg's XrmSetDatabase (apparently
121 broken since http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/xorg-commit-diffs/2004-March/000239.html).
122 - fix memory corruption bug when custom command sequences bound to keys
123 were injected into an already-full pty input buffer.
124 - gdk-pixbuf is autodetected by default and preferred over libafterimage.
125 - do not prepend a newline to the selection text when the starting line
126 of the selection is not highlighted (Emanuele Giaquinta).
127 - don't swap perl env with real env, save and restore it, just in case
128 we ever get recursive perl invocations. also saves a bit of codespace
129 with gcc.
130 - fix various memory leaks (Emanuele Giaquinta).
131 - fix typo in kIC terminfo capability, debian bug #446444.
132 - document 'thickness' resource.
133 - fix debian bug #504817, to the extent possible.
134 - try to detect byte order at compile time, saves a couple of
135 hundred bytes, if your compiler is smart enough.
136 - add support for previewing the pasted data in confirm-paste
137 (Emanuele Giaquinta).
138 - added "newlines to spaces" option in selection-popup.
139 - actually enabled solaris event ports backend (was disabled by accident).
140 - revert to 38400 baud max., mission accomplished.
141 - no longer create scary "pty_fill: PLEASE REPORT" message, instead,
142 silently drain the input (problem is well understood now).
143 - no longer swallow rob nation's own graphics mode commands.
144
1459.10 Mon Dec 13 17:43:52 CET 2010
146 - the "schmorp=north korea dickey=south korea" release.
147 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: make OSC 20 simpler and more correct
148 (Emanuele Giaquinta).
149 - if options were compiled out, this could lead to the option
150 count to be defined wrongly. This is likely behind the
151 failures with gcc 4.5.
152 - explicitly depend on fontconfig and xrender when xft support
153 is enabled. Although the public Xft api uses types from
154 both, in Xft 2.2.0 these libs are private
155 dependencies only thanks to an idiotic behaviour of
156 pkg-config that was added to workaround cases like this one.
157 Fixes linking when using GNU ld with --as-needed or GNU gold
158 (based on patch by Jan Palus).
159 - fix minor memory leaks in urxvt and urxvtd.
160 - fix regression in urxvtd that prevented options from being correctly
161 set (reported by Michal Vaner).
162 - implement xterm's horribly broken 1005 mouse reporting mode,
163 and an alternative 1015 mode that works in non-utf-8 locales
164 and has fewer limitations.
165 - fix a possible bug where mouse notifications didn't work after
166 startup for the upper left corner.
167 - implement our own pixbuf to pixmap rendering to get rid of
168 dependency on buggy gdk-pixbuf-xlib. Only truecolor visuals
169 are supported (Emanuele Giaquinta).
170 - apply tinting before shading when both operations are requested.
171 Previously they were intermixed when lightening and the result
172 was inaccurate and confusing. Note that now a black tint yields a
173 completely black image, regardless of shading (Emanuele Giaquinta).
174 - avoid spurious redraws of the bg image when bg is transparent or
175 when using 'root' mode (Emanuele Giaquinta).
176 - fix build on XFree86.
177 - dynamically number options according to compiletime requirements.
178 For the extra saved byte. Or so. Yay.
179 - start options at one, not zero. Wastes a bit per terminal. Maybe.
180 saves 50 instruction bytes. Possibly.
181

195 - fix utmpx detection on upcoming FreeBSD 9.
196 - Use COMPOUND_TEXT encoding for WM_NAME/WM_ICON_NAME value when it
197 is not fully convertible to STRING (patch by James Cloos).
198 - fix a buffer overflow that would cause wrong key sequences to
199 be generated for numpad keys (introduced in 9.05).
200 - fix definition of sgr0 to work around limitations in luit.
201 - extend ISO 14755 5.4 mode to also print the font name of the
202 characters other than first one in the selected cell
203 (Emanuele Giaquinta).
204 - new iso14755 option to disable ISO 14755 at runtime
205 (Emanuele Giaquinta).
206 - make sure pagewise scrolling scrolls at least one line
207 (found by Mikachu).
208 - remove deprecated OSC 18 / 19 and make OSC 17 / 19 apply to
209 highlightColor / highlightTextColor (Emanuele Giaquinta).
210 - add highlightTextColor resource to change the foreground colour of
211 highlighted characters (Emanuele Giaquinta).
212 - make highlightColor apply also to selected cells with reverse video
213 but not to non selected cells with reverse video (Emanuele Giaquinta).
214 - remove colorRV resource (it was enabled only with frills off).
215 - fix numlock handling, the most longstanding bug to date (Emanuele Giaquinta).
216 - reduce the number of custom bits to 4, to make room
217 for 256 colours.
218 - add support for 256 colors (Emanuele Giaquinta, Marc Lehmann).
219 - add rxvt-unicode-256color terminfo and use it by default in 256 colors mode.
220 - update rxvt-unicode terminfo to state 7744 colour pairs to cover all
221 88*88 possible pairs.
222 - actually added macosx-clipboard-native, which should have been in
223 the 9.07 release but had been forgotten.
224 - fix hang if DECAWM is not set and there are not enough columns to insert a
225 character (Emanuele Giaquinta).
226 - cub1 ("backspace") will now respect wrapping when past the rightmost column,
227 working around a shortcoming of most tty line discipline's line editing.
228 - add support for grabbing the clipboard selection and extend
229 selection{_clear,_grab,} perl bindings to optionally work
230 on the clipboard selection (based on patch by Dana Jansens).
231 - no longer force CERASE to BACKSPACE - use the system default. affects
232 default value for VERASE only when no compatible setting for
233 backspacekey was given.
234 - use higher than 38400 baudrate setting, if detected.
235 - erase screen would clear to the wrong background when blinking
236 was enabled (which selects high intensity under some circumstances).
237 - scr_kill_char didn't touch the line.
238 - upgrade and port to libev-4.01.
239 - enabled solaris event ports and kqueue backends (if available).
240
