249.15 Sat Jan 21 13:36:56 CET 2012
25 - remove "using namespace std" because clang erroneously
26 thinks thats an error.
27 - finding a matching font (e.g. bold version of the base font)
28 was broken (reported by Eamon Walker).
29 - fix parsing of bg image styles. They really work now.
30 - fix blurring of bg image borders when using xrender.
31 - fix xrender blur on common xrender implementations that do
32 not behave correctly when the same pixmap is used as source
33 and destination in composite operations.
34 - fix regression that caused tabbed to compute the wrong size
35 for tabs.
36 - allow again an empty suffix in a keysym list spec (patch by
37 Sung Pae).
38 - unsupported support for sun studio's CC added.
39 - fix -C option on solaris.
40
419.14 Wed Dec 21 18:40:33 CET 2011
42 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: the urxvtd default socket path is now
43 $HOME/.urxvt/urxvtd-<nodename>.
44 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: the "list" keysym expansion now requires
45 loading of the "keysym-list" perl extension.
46 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: A scale value of 0 in the bg image
47 geometry no longer enables tiling, so as to make it possible
48 to disable both scaling and tiling.
49 - overhaul of the bg image operations. The old operations have
50 been deprecated in favour of elementary operations and
51 styles built on top of the new operations and scale/position
52 settings. (Emanuele Giaquinta).
53 - support for libafterimage is deprecated and will be removed
54 in the next release.
55 - fix a crash caused by selection_check not properly resetting
56 out-of-bounds mark values (can happen when extending a selection
57 while scrolling up in curses programs for example).
58 - do not move the selection when scrolling up and the selection is
59 outside the scrolling region (Emanuele Giaquinta).
60 - fix display of bold bright black (reported by Ben Winslow).
61 - fix memory leak when urgentOnBell is set (patch by Nathaniel
62 Filardo).
63 - fix a redraw bug that occurs when a bg pixmap is set and the
64 wm does not honour the size hints set by urxvt. Now urxvt
65 forces the size of the terminal window to be a multiple of
66 the cell size.
67 - sanitise the argument of SD / SU sequences. Fixes a possible
68 crash when the argument is big enough, red hat bug #711137
69 (Emanuele Giaquinta).
70 - correctly split long lines when scrolling.
71 - urxvt now looks for perl extensions also in $HOME/.urxvt/ext.
72 - add bell-command perl extension to execute a command when a
73 bell event occurs (Ryan Kavanagh).
74 - add set_urgency perl binding to set/reset the urgency hint.
75 - consume button release event in matcher (exg).
76 - keyboard accessible list of recent matches in matcher
77 (Bob Farrell).
78 - properly process 'keysym' sequences in tabbed when using
79 'focus follows mouse' and the focus is on the main window
80 but not on the active terminal window (patch by Martin
81 Pohlack).
82 - support for the freedesktop startup-notification protocol (patch by
83 Michael Stapelberg).
84 - the direction of VPR and VPB commands was reversed.
85 - fix alignment of inherited root pixmap when it is a different size
86 than the root window and the terminal window is off the left or top
87 edge (Mikachu).
88 - make $self visible in "eval perl expression" popup action, also
89 handle exceptions better.
90 - fix parsing of '-e' when it occurs as an option argument, such as in
91 'urxvt -title -e' (Emanuele Giaquinta).
92
939.12 Wed Jun 29 14:34:28 CEST 2011
94 - fix regression in processing of SelectionNotify events.
95 urxvt would fail to request a selection if the owner did not
96 support the UTF8_STRING target.
97 - fix rendering of double width chars in certain circumstances, more
98 likely to happen if urxvt is compiled with 256 colors support as
99 urxvt runs out of fonts much earlier then. Fixes gentoo bug #358151
100 (Emanuele Giaquinta).
101 - restore support for 'list' syntax in keysym resources (requested by Sung Pae).
102 - always premultiply colour values - while this increases differences between
103 core fonts and xft, it is "more correct" in practical situations.
104 - disable PTYTTY_REENTRANT option - not needed for urxvt and saves a bit of code.
105 - remove lucidatypewriter from the list of fallback fonts, it was the only
106 non-xft non-cellfont in the list anyway.
107
1089.11 Mon May 2 10:34:46 CEST 2011
109 - fix compilation on GNU/Hurd, debian bug #624736.
110 - remove 'list' syntax for keysym resources, as it serves no useful purpose.
111 If you need it, poke us and provide a use case.
112 - fix alpha channel support. Premultiply alpha in colours if the visual
113 supports an alpha channel, as xrender expects premultiplied alpha
114 (Emanuele Giaquinta).
115 - fix reply to a selection request sent by an obsolete client
116 such as syncterm (patch by Marcin Cieslak).
117 - fix crash when the window is resized and the overlay is active
118 (Emanuele Giaquinta, reported by Ryan Kavanagh).
119 - match character-wise rather than byte-wise in selection
120 extension again. perl 5.8.9+ is required to avoid extreme
121 slowdowns. Fixes debian bugs #523072, #616463.
122 - fix a possible crash if the INCR transfer process for a
123 selection property timeouts and at least one chunk is
124 received. (Emanuele Giaquinta)
125 - work around a memory corruption bug in xorg's XrmSetDatabase (apparently
126 broken since http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/xorg-commit-diffs/2004-March/000239.html).
127 - fix memory corruption bug when custom command sequences bound to keys
128 were injected into an already-full pty input buffer.
129 - gdk-pixbuf is autodetected by default and preferred over libafterimage.
130 - do not prepend a newline to the selection text when the starting line
131 of the selection is not highlighted (Emanuele Giaquinta).
132 - don't swap perl env with real env, save and restore it, just in case
133 we ever get recursive perl invocations. also saves a bit of codespace
134 with gcc.
135 - fix various memory leaks (Emanuele Giaquinta).
136 - fix typo in kIC terminfo capability, debian bug #446444.
137 - document 'thickness' resource.
138 - fix debian bug #504817, to the extent possible.
139 - try to detect byte order at compile time, saves a couple of
140 hundred bytes, if your compiler is smart enough.
141 - add support for previewing the pasted data in confirm-paste
142 (Emanuele Giaquinta).
143 - added "newlines to spaces" option in selection-popup.
144 - actually enabled solaris event ports backend (was disabled by accident).
145 - revert to 38400 baud max., mission accomplished.
146 - no longer create scary "pty_fill: PLEASE REPORT" message, instead,
147 silently drain the input (problem is well understood now).
148 - no longer swallow rob nation's own graphics mode commands.
149
1509.10 Mon Dec 13 17:43:52 CET 2010
151 - the "schmorp=north korea dickey=south korea" release.
152 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: make OSC 20 simpler and more correct
153 (Emanuele Giaquinta).
154 - if options were compiled out, this could lead to the option
155 count to be defined wrongly. This is likely behind the
156 failures with gcc 4.5.
157 - explicitly depend on fontconfig and xrender when xft support
158 is enabled. Although the public Xft api uses types from
159 both, in Xft 2.2.0 these libs are private
160 dependencies only thanks to an idiotic behaviour of
161 pkg-config that was added to workaround cases like this one.
162 Fixes linking when using GNU ld with --as-needed or GNU gold
163 (based on patch by Jan Palus).
164 - fix minor memory leaks in urxvt and urxvtd.
165 - fix regression in urxvtd that prevented options from being correctly
166 set (reported by Michal Vaner).
167 - implement xterm's horribly broken 1005 mouse reporting mode,
168 and an alternative 1015 mode that works in non-utf-8 locales
169 and has fewer limitations.
170 - fix a possible bug where mouse notifications didn't work after
171 startup for the upper left corner.
172 - implement our own pixbuf to pixmap rendering to get rid of
173 dependency on buggy gdk-pixbuf-xlib. Only truecolor visuals
174 are supported (Emanuele Giaquinta).
175 - apply tinting before shading when both operations are requested.
176 Previously they were intermixed when lightening and the result
177 was inaccurate and confusing. Note that now a black tint yields a
178 completely black image, regardless of shading (Emanuele Giaquinta).
179 - avoid spurious redraws of the bg image when bg is transparent or
180 when using 'root' mode (Emanuele Giaquinta).
181 - fix build on XFree86.
182 - dynamically number options according to compiletime requirements.
183 For the extra saved byte. Or so. Yay.
184 - start options at one, not zero. Wastes a bit per terminal. Maybe.
185 saves 50 instruction bytes. Possibly.
186
1879.09 Sat Nov 13 01:39:07 CET 2010
188 - NOTICE: this release updates terminfo/termcap.
189 - the bestest release ever.
190 - it was verified that urxvt handles µ and μ correctly.
191 - add support for blending and blurring with XRender (Emanuele Giaquinta).
192 - add support for using gdk-pixbuf as image backend (Emanuele Giaquinta).
193 - cleanup and minor fixes of the image code (Emanuele Giaquinta).
194 - new perl extension "confirm-paste" (Emanuele Giaquinta).
195 - new on_tt_paste perl hook and tt_paste perl binding (Emanuele Giaquinta).
196 - new on_bell perl hook (Emanuele Giaquinta).
197 - searchable-scrollback no longer ignores the first line
198 (Emanuele Giaquinta).
199 - properly set VSTATUS in termios for *BSD (reported by Ed Schouten).
200 - fix utmpx detection on upcoming FreeBSD 9.
201 - Use COMPOUND_TEXT encoding for WM_NAME/WM_ICON_NAME value when it
202 is not fully convertible to STRING (patch by James Cloos).
203 - fix a buffer overflow that would cause wrong key sequences to
204 be generated for numpad keys (introduced in 9.05).
205 - fix definition of sgr0 to work around limitations in luit.
206 - extend ISO 14755 5.4 mode to also print the font name of the
207 characters other than first one in the selected cell
208 (Emanuele Giaquinta).
209 - new iso14755 option to disable ISO 14755 at runtime
210 (Emanuele Giaquinta).
211 - make sure pagewise scrolling scrolls at least one line
212 (found by Mikachu).
213 - remove deprecated OSC 18 / 19 and make OSC 17 / 19 apply to
214 highlightColor / highlightTextColor (Emanuele Giaquinta).
215 - add highlightTextColor resource to change the foreground colour of
216 highlighted characters (Emanuele Giaquinta).
217 - make highlightColor apply also to selected cells with reverse video
218 but not to non selected cells with reverse video (Emanuele Giaquinta).
219 - remove colorRV resource (it was enabled only with frills off).
220 - fix numlock handling, the most longstanding bug to date (Emanuele Giaquinta).
221 - reduce the number of custom bits to 4, to make room
222 for 256 colours.
223 - add support for 256 colors (Emanuele Giaquinta, Marc Lehmann).
224 - add rxvt-unicode-256color terminfo and use it by default in 256 colors mode.
225 - update rxvt-unicode terminfo to state 7744 colour pairs to cover all
226 88*88 possible pairs.
227 - actually added macosx-clipboard-native, which should have been in
228 the 9.07 release but had been forgotten.
229 - fix hang if DECAWM is not set and there are not enough columns to insert a
230 character (Emanuele Giaquinta).
231 - cub1 ("backspace") will now respect wrapping when past the rightmost column,
232 working around a shortcoming of most tty line discipline's line editing.
233 - add support for grabbing the clipboard selection and extend
234 selection{_clear,_grab,} perl bindings to optionally work
235 on the clipboard selection (based on patch by Dana Jansens).
236 - no longer force CERASE to BACKSPACE - use the system default. affects
237 default value for VERASE only when no compatible setting for
238 backspacekey was given.
239 - use higher than 38400 baudrate setting, if detected.
240 - erase screen would clear to the wrong background when blinking
241 was enabled (which selects high intensity under some circumstances).
242 - scr_kill_char didn't touch the line.
243 - upgrade and port to libev-4.01.
244 - enabled solaris event ports and kqueue backends (if available).
245
2469.07 Wed Dec 30 07:07:18 CET 2009
247 - port to glibc-2.10 changes (strchr etc. returning const char *
248 in C++), based on patches by Milos Jakubicek and Oliver Mader.
249 - the binary search algorithm to find precomposed characters
250 was faulty, skipping some possible combinations (found by
251 Mikachu).
252 - new -letterspace option, patch by Mark H. Wilkinson.
253 - enable --mlock option for urxvt with frills on
254 systems supporting it (patch by Russell Harmon).
255 - urxvt did not compile without frills enabled
256 (analysed by Matthew Rosewarne).
257 - correctly reset the mbstate after an illegal
258 input sequence when handling terminal output (Emanuele Giaquinta).
259 - avoid redrawing wide characters with combining enabled on every
260 refresh (reported by Mikachu).
261 - fix a typo preventing the ISO-646.1991 character set from being
262 recognized (http://achurch.org/patch-pile/).
263 - better warning for x11 font encoding detection failures, also,
264 try to deduce encoding from both font properties and name
265 (adapted from http://achurch.org/patch-pile/).
266 - resizing the window with the scrollbar disabled via the escapes
267 sequence could make the window bigger again (Mikachu).
268 - make sure the alignment for fd passing control messages
269 is correct and work around some NetBSD issues (Taylor R Campbell).
270 - update to libptytty 1.3.
271 - replace macosx-clipboard by a nicer version by Reza Jelveh, and move
272 the old version to macosx-clipboard-native.
273 - document the -uc option (Emanuele Giaquinta).
274 - assertions in libev are now enabled depending on frills.
275 - update AnyEvent implementation to version 5.23 API.
276 - work around arrogant bsd idiocies again: netbsd spills the default
277 namespace with lots of symbols "for gnu/gcc compatibility" even
278 though neither of them does it, and then calls the rest of the world
279 in need of fixing. go figure.
280 - on_keyboard_command is on_user_command (patch by Michael Witten).
281 - setting the selection from perl will now reset the selection screen
282 to the current screen. the screen can be manipulated using
283 the new ->selection_screen method.
284 - implement --enable-assert configure option and get rid of DEBUG_STRICT
285 (based on patch by Emanuele Giaquinta).
286 - fix printpipe data output (patch by Emanuele Giaquinta).
287 - allow `xxx' quoting style for perl selection.
288 - upgrade to libev-3.9 prerelease.
289 - updated compose tables to unicode 5.2.0.
290
2919.06 Sat Nov 8 17:47:18 CET 2008
292 - NOTICE: this release updates terminfo/termcap.
293 - updates libev to 3.48.
294 - the aterm code now frees the as visual and image manager objects
295 when a window was closed.
296 - do not (wrongly) adjust the virtual line length inside
297 scr_insdel_chars/ERASE (Miroslav Lichvar).
298 - fix an issue where wide tab characters caused character shifts
299 when part of them was deleted (tracked down by Miroslav Lichvar).
300 - artificially enlargen the previous character at the end of a line
301 when trying to output a character that doesn't fit. looks ugly, but
302 makes copy&paste work.
303 - remove bogus "setuid/setgid security issues" from rxvt.1.pod, they
304 no longer apply.
305 - the urgency hint is now cleared on both focus in and focus out.
306 - cache urgency hint locally to avoid server rtt on every focus change.
307 - perl 5.10 needs PERL_SYS_INIT3 on hppa.
308 - ignore byte-order marks and do not treat them like combining characters.
309 - fix build issue when CURSOR_BLINK is not defined (Emanuele Giaquinta).
310 - do some µ-optimisations to the character fast path.
311 - use a less cunning, but more robust algorithm to avoid one terminal
312 monopolising the whole process by outputting a lot of text.
313 - try to work around linux first breaking sched_yield and now breaking
314 the only known workaround.
315 - new option -icon to set _NET_WM_ICON (based on patch by Frank Schmitt).
316 - initialise the as visual only on demand, instead of unconditionally,
317 to save memory in the common case of not using visual gimmicks.
318 - try to work around bugs in a few wm's that erroneously resize
319 client windows on hint property updates by temporarily
320 disabling size hints.
321 - implement the DECSTR soft reset sequence and use it for tput init,
322 and make hard RIS and DECSTR both reset more private modes, such
323 as mouse reporting.
324 - redundantly clear mouse reporting and a few other states in
325 tput init/tput reset, for older urxvts.
326 - partial/full clear screens did cause flickering and possibly pixel
327 droppings when urxvt viewed the scrollback buffer.
328 - use current rendition style in DCH sequence.
329 - the 132/80 mode switch no longer forces a screen reset.
330 - add an osc sequence to change the border colour (Emanuele Giaquinta).
331 - new perl extension "overlay-osc", for status displays and the like.
332 - fix some minor cursor drawing issues with overlays by allowing
333 overlays to modify screen flags (to disable the cursor themselves).
334 - work around programs not restoring rstyle before rmcup
335 (analysed by Miroslav Lichvar).
336
3379.05 Sun Jun 15 20:09:20 CEST 2008
338 - new option --cd/chdir to set the starting working directory.
339 - tabbed extension now starts in the "correct" working directory.
340 - work around fedora 9 providing isastream but not the relevant
341 header file for it (report by Tuncer Ayaz).
342 - upgrade libev, fixing a bug in the select backend.
343 with more than 31 file descriptors on non-linux 64 bit systems.
344 - correctly reset the multibyte state to the initial one
345 after EILSEQ (patch by Neil Booth). This fixes the
346 issue of rxvt-unicode not properly displaying text after an illegal
347 sequence on NetBSD and probably other systems.
348 - more intelligent property handling with -pe tabbed, works around
349 broken window managers (kwm et al.), saves bandwidth and should
350 help working window managers as well.
351 - made tabs moveable (based on a patch by Petr Machata).
352 - implement ESC [ 3 K as a more rational alternative to ESC [ 0 K.
353 - support relative paths for RXVT_SOCKET in urxvtd.
354 - the tabbed extension now blindly copies over all (rxvt-) resources
355 from the toplevel window to the children.
356 - better diagnostic on 0x0 window geometries.
357 - update AnyEvent API to version 3.4 and above.
358 - document the default value of :0 for DISPLAY.
359 - rename perl method XChangeWindowProperty to XChangeProperty.
360
3619.02 Tue Jan 29 11:58:36 CET 2008
362 - the "exg makes everybody happy" release.
363 - fix build with !xft.
364 - always compile in plain style scrollbar (simplifies code and looks great).
365
3669.01 Sat Jan 26 20:49:27 CET 2008
367 - be more aggressive about handling X events, this seems to be required
368 with newer xlibs (should fix the "screen stays black until event is
369 received" problem, again :)
370 - add buffered resource to control xft double-buffering.
371
3729.0 Fri Jan 25 19:34:04 CET 2008
373 - fix a crash bug where urxvtd would crash when urxvtc was called
374 with wrong arguments (I wish debian maintainers in general would
375 report bugs and their proposed fixes to the original package maintainers
376 instead of sitting on them for good measure to see if anybody notices).
377 - drawing xft compose characters was causing garbage to be drawn.
378 - correctly clear xft character background in all cases.
379 - implement bracketed paste mode (xterm private mode 2004).
380 - improve documentation on alpha channel handling, make urxvt
381 work better on servers lacking the RENDER extension when alpha
382 channels or background images are used.
383 - check for refresh after initialising to avoid staying blank
384 till the first event arrives. or so.
385 - the FORCE_UNBUFFERED_XFT feature macro works again.
386 - continuously update transparency while moving/resizing now.
387 - OSC 39/49 are deprecated and aliased to OSC 10/11.
388 - cub1 now acts as advertised (and ignores the "wrapped" state).
389 - the 132/80 mode switch now forces a height of 24, too, and
390 resets the terminal.
391 - scrollbar code cleanups.
392 - stopping children is no longer confused with children exiting.
393 - removed (undocumented) #aarrggbb format.
394 - updated to libev 3.0.
395
3968.9 Mon Dec 24 07:51:40 CET 2007
397 - fix the issue where urxvtd would not immediately close a window
398 when the command exited but only on the next X event.
399 - changed terminfo file not to use application keypad mode.
400 - fix the issue where making a selection in one urxvtd window
401 would not clear it visually in another.
402 - fix an issue of urxvt not getting background pixmap updates
403 and flickering after bg pixmap changes (reported by Mikachu).
404 - fix redraw bug in xterm scrollbar with -sr (reported by Mikachu).
405 - correctly provide dependencies for libev (µikachu).
406 - minor code reorganisations and cleanups.
407 - be more robust in case the urxvt-popup extension cannot be loaded.
408
4098.8 Sat Dec 15 19:40:39 CET 2007
410 - option -C was aliased to all unsupported options, activating
411 options that shouldn't be compiled in, leading to interesting
412 effects.
413 - updated libev, working around a bug in linux 2.4, curing the
414 symptom of urxvt not closing its window on shell exit. also
415 fixes a problem with urxvt not refreshing.
416 - the text blink callback was called even when no blinking
417 text was visible.
418 - pre-8.4 slipwheeling behaviour has been reinstated, with
419 some minor improvements.
420 - streamlined x events processing to only flush once per
421 display and not once per terminal window.
422 - quite a bit of minor code cleanups and codesize optimisations.
423
4248.7 Sun Nov 25 10:23:49 CET 2007
425 - update libev with an important bugfix that would cause crashes
426 when closing windows (when using rxvtd, and update is recommended).
427 - do not compile in the block builtin graphics with --disable-frills.
428
4298.6 Fri Nov 23 14:10:57 CET 2007
430 - upgrade libev to disable kqueue on anything but netbsd as it
431 seems to be broken everywhere else w.r.t. ptys.
432 - allow for spurious event notifications, as at least epoll and
433 especially solaris ports like to lie about them (symptoms:
434 urxvt "hangs" until there is some x11 related activity).
435 - -keysym command line options are now subjected to xlib parsing.
436 - add 'xrm' option analogous to Xt one.
437
4388.5a Wed Nov 21 10:16:33 CET 2007
439 - make it compile with --disable-transparency.
440
4418.5 Wed Nov 21 05:19:20 CET 2007
442 - expect major portability issues in this release: please test and report.
443 - converted from the veritable io manager event loop to
444 the high performance libev (http://software.schmorp.de/pkg/libev).
445 - minor tuning to the perl selection (include single words and more quoting chars).
446 - fix memory leak in pixmap code.
447 - fix a serious bug while setting the XIM destroy callback
448 on (typical) 64 bit systems.
449 - automove-background functionality re-implemented internally using :root op in pixmap
450 geometry string. For example: rxvt -pixmap "image.jpg;:root"
451 - do not link rxvtc against every lib on the planet anymore.
452 - parallel builds should work once more.
453
4548.4 Sat Oct 27 14:02:13 CEST 2007
455 - overhaul of the transparency/pixmap code (sasha).
456 - fix possible race between visual bell and poweron.
457 (reported by Martin von Gagern, gentoo?).
458 - urxvt -e no longer crashes the child.
459 - fixed some minor memleaks on incorrect usage or
460 missing DISPLAY.
461 - implement xterm 1002/1003 mouse tracking modes (exg).
462 - source code organisational cleanups (exg).
463 - updated io_manager.
464
4658.3 Wed Aug 1 20:21:31 CEST 2007
466 - new option: skipScroll/-ss, enabled by default.
467 - go with the times and expect x11 library files in /usr/lib, not
468 /usr/X11R6/lib.
469 - initial transparency improvement/afterimage support
470 patch by Sasha Vasko.
471 - add urgentOnBell resource to set the urgency hint
472 (patch by Philip Paeps).
473 - do not process focus events caused by grabs
474 (patch by Mikachu).
475 - add iso14755_52 resource to disable iso14755 5.2 (exg).
476 - add binding for backspace in iso14755 5.1 to remove the last
477 digit (exg).
478 - better option handling, support more than 30 options (exg).
479 - nuke reconf script, serves no purpose anymore.
480 - fixed and documented matcher/on_user_command processing in matcher
481 extension (tpope).
482 - compile out of the box on Solaris 10 (exg).
483 - fix MappingNotify events (reported by Stephan Walter).
484 - zero-initialise mwmhints, this seems to solve all sorts of minor
485 problems.
486
4878.2 Sat Feb 17 21:35:28 CET 2007
488 - fix make depend in src/, reported by exg.
489 - fixed typo in urxvt::GET_CUSTOM, causing the result to be wrong.
490 (patch by Sergey Vlasov).
491 - unbundled iom perl interface somewhat.
492 - scrollbar-xterm now uses the selected scrollColor instead of fg
493 (found by Aiviru).
494 - disabled linux kernel bug workaround again: disabling it gives
495 a 50% speed hit on affected machines, while enabling it gives
496 a similar speed hit to screen, which is likely the more common
497 case to work around for :/
498 - urxvt::rend2mask perl function, and utilization of it by matcher
499 (patch by Moshe Kamensky).
500 - use perl:matcher on a keysym to open most recently displayed URL.
501 - with matcher, when multiple patterns match, last wins, not first.
502 - fix make and make install with srcdir != builddir (exg).
503 - updated bundled libptytty to fix a bug where the tty would be kept
504 open (see the libptytty ChangeLog for details).
505 - delay setting the IUTF8 flag to after the tty settings have been
506 set so its value does not get lost (reported and analysed by Andrei
507 Paskevich).
508 - rip out support for obsolete sgtty.h interface.
509 - rip out support for non-POSIX termios variants.
510 - update libptytty.
511 - update iom.C, make it call ptytty::sanitise_stdfd on init.
512 - when !XFT, change rounding of colours to use a less correct formula to
513 meet user expectancies (#aaa becomes #a000a000a000 not #9f9f9f9f9f9f).
514 - change the starting offset of the pixmap set with backgroundPixmap
515 from (50,50) to (0,0) (exg).
516 - fix a typo in button_release, now meta-button2 request the value of
517 the Clipboard selection as it should (patch by Serge Koksharov).
518 - fix a bug in drawing a cell with a nonspacing char when using an xft
519 font with inheritPixmap and tintColor (exg).
520
5218.1 Thu Dec 7 22:27:25 CET 2006
522 - ｹﾘｽﾏｽﾌ゚ﾚｾ゙ﾝﾄ - zomg!!1, it's too early!!!
523 - fix the assumption that chars < 256 are single-width. Now
524 only assume this for codepoints 32 to 126 (reported by Dai.H.).
525 - $term->strwidth returned wide chars as width 1, because some jerk
526 confused min and max. Fixing this also fixes xim-onthespot.
527 Reported by Takano Akio.
528 - secondaryScroll is now enabled by default (as per the manpage),
529 reported by exg.
530 - correct the description of [percent]color rgba format in the manpage.
531 - incorporated macosx-clipboard extension by Samuel Ljungkvist.
532 - ignore (some) useless focus events (reported by mmc).
533 - updated compose table to unicode 5.0.0.
534
5358.0 Thu Nov 2 18:35:19 CET 2006
536 - combining characters cleared the area instead of creating an overlay,
537 thus losing the ability to draw combining characters properly in most
538 circumstances (reported by exg).
539 - specified fonts were incorrectly morphed to bold/italic according to the
540 basefont, even if explicitly specified (tracked down by tpope).
541 - fixed urxvt::strwidth to calculate width in the same way as screen.C.
542 - fix a crash caused by passing negative widths to overlay functions.
543 - added 'matcher' extension by tpope, replacing the mark-urls extension.
544 - improve url regex to match anything www.* (tpope).
545 - fixed bug with outline cursor color being wrong after xft fonts.
546 - update to libptytty-1.0.
547 - give proper diagnostic when RXVT_SOCKET is too long instead of
548 corrupting the stack (patch by exg).
549 - display current terminal locale in option menu.
550 - urxvtd no longer crashes when the client sends an inaccessible
551 working directory (reported by Roland Baer, possibly fixes gentoo
552 bug #143985).
553 - fixed many minor issues reported by Roland Baer.
554 - Leonid Khramov spotted a minor glitch in rxvtfont.C that
555 should not have any consequences, but was buggy nonetheless.
556 - manpage fix by exg.
557
5587.9 Mon Aug 7 18:16:07 CEST 2006
559 - fix the crashing bug people encountered with 7.8 + urxvtd + perl
560 + transparency. Ought to fix debian bug #380348.
561 - fix urxvtc.1.pod: it actually claimed -pty-fd would not work. But
562 it does! :->
563 - rxvt_fatal() in case the locale string is too long for our static buffer.
564 - fixed many, many, typos in the manpages (patch supplied by ves).
565
5667.8 Mon Jul 17 21:00:46 CEST 2006
567 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: this version will always read ~/.Xdefaults,
568 earlier versions only read it if display-resources (usually from
569 .Xresources) are not set. This avoids the #1 FAQ ("why isn't my
570 resource used") and seems to be logical behaviour, too. .Xdefaults
571 resources have a lower priority than display-specific resources.
572 - add "kuake" perl extension that does a similar thing to the kuake
573 terminal emulator (see man urxvtperl).
574 - use less "correct" color scaling that is compatible with libX11 and
575 Xft (avoids off-by-one colors resulting in striped backgrounds).
576 - the "depth" resource is now respected.
577 - preset the searchable-scrollback pattern with "(?i)" to default search
578 to case-insensitivity. Will automatically be cleared when typing an
579 uppercase character.
580 - add FORCE_UNBUFFERED_XFT define to features.h.
581 - re-enabled highlightcolor support with --enable-frills, based on
582 a patch by Martin Stubenschrott.
583 - double-buffered xft drawing did suffer from pixel offset issues
584 when pixmap transparency was enabled.
585 - strategically add # to the url-match regexes, as we really want to
586 match common URIs not common URLs. Reported by Aaron Griffin.
587 - moved on_osc_seq to on_osc_seq_perl and added a more
588 generic osc_seq.
589 - fix a bug causing double callback invocations when perl hooks
590 were invoked recursively.
591 - the automove-background extension now properly works when the
592 pixmap gets reset with an osc sequence (sqweek).
593 - selection-pastebin did not work properly with non-latin1-characters.
594 - apply colorUL only when the text colour is the default fg
595 (patch by Wu Fengguang).
596 - removed rxvtlib.h from the tarball, it had no reason to be there
597 (spotted by Decklin Foster).
598 - fix compiling with TRANSPARENT but !XPM_BACKGROUND, as reported
599 by omatunto_.
600 - slap in a using namespace std, might help on platforms that don't
601 follow C++ closely enough.
602 - fix mailto url regex, spotted within milliseconds by Jost Krieger.
603 - applied fade_color_update_func.patch by WU Fengguang.
604 - fix a bug where (due to an optimisation in av_delete), hiding the
605 bottom-most overlay would hide two overlays.
606
6077.7 Tue Feb 21 12:32:49 CET 2006
608 - use double-buffered drawing (xft fonts only). On many driver/hardware
609 combination this actually increases xft drawing speed, at the expense
610 of more network bandwidth and slight nausea on the side of the author.
611 - readline perl extension now requires shift-click instead of a normal
612 click, and eats the click.
613 - tabbed perl extension now supports -e.
614 - disabled graphics-exposures on the main drawing GC, report any
615 refresh bugs please.
616 - improve property handling for -pe tabbed: avoid unnecessary property
617 changes (for kde's benefit) at the expense of extra round-trips,
618 improve size hint setting.
619 - modified XIM according to a patch sent by Takano Akio that sets
620 the preedit rectangle for OverTheSpot, which helps some input methods
621 to correctly position their preedit window.
622 - un-optimise the line clearing on newly scrolled-in lines a bit: the
623 former reasoning was that any fg colour on default bg looks the same
624 in empty spaces, but that's not true when reversing (e.g. selection),
625 so also check for matching fg colours. This fixes the problem where
626 selecting newly scrolled-in lines would exhibit wrong colours.
627 - fix a bug in the perl interface causing focus in events to generate
628 focus out perl events, causing bad focus effects with -pe tabbed.
629 - fix a race resulting in a crash on exiting.
630 - fix a with --disable-xft that caused xfreecolors to be called on
631 colors never allocated, resulting in aborts (reported by Paco-Paco).
632 - resources on non-initial screens weren't refetched correctly
633 (reported by Paco-Paco).
634 - fix a bug in xcopyarea pass and _disable_ it, as it seems not to be
635 working in either rxvt-unicode nor in the original rxvt.
636 - removed undocumented -exec alias for the -e option.
637
6387.6 Fri Feb 10 08:52:36 CET 2006
639 - changed interpretation of [alpha] colour prefix.
640 - +option now really sets the option to default, instead of using the
641 resource value.
642 - options that require an argument now really _require_ an argument.
643 - the tabbed extension now forwards focus and key events to the
644 relevant tab window.
645 - tab colours are now configurable and have sensible defaults
646 (initial patch by hednod).
647 - option menu is extendable, readline, selection and
648 selection-autotransform can now be disabled/enabled at runtime.
649 - forcing a configure event to tabbed subwindows with -pe tabbed, for
650 the benefit of automove-background.
651 - the automove-background extension added a wrong constant offset.
652 - force refresh of XA_RESOURCE_STRING on virtual reconnect.
653 - return exit status 2 in urxvtc when urxvtd couldn't be contacted.
654 - the linux yield hack is back, now using usleep, and enabled only on
655 __linux__.
656 - further round trip eliminations in the !XFT case by remembering
657 the colour components.
658 - plain scrollbar works better with -sr.
659 - fixed half-shadow scrollbar look.
660 - more colour rtt optimisations.
661 - properly(?) free colours on window close.
662 - reorganised the FAQ into multiple sections.
663 - add ISO646.1991-IRV to the list of supported codesets.
664 - minor libptytty update.
665
6667.5 Tue Jan 31 15:15:43 CET 2006
667 - further improvements to the careful mode detection, and font width
668 detection:
669 - fully double-wide fonts will now be correctly treated,
670 - overlap detection was improved.
671 - detect totally broken fonts (usually synthesized by xft).
672 - careful mode forced refresh sometimes clashed with blinking,
673 causing unnecessary screen redraws.
674 - better handling of XFT combining characters.
675 - enable antialiasing for some replacement fonts, as they
676 might get used for other encodings which really need it, later.
677 - remove spacing=100 from all default fonts, as this creates totally
678 weird spacing (5 times normal) with xft.
679 - removed iso10646 fallback, as xorgs iso10646 encoded fonts are mostly
680 broken.
681 - removed gnu unifont fallback, all combining characters are broken.
682 - replace named colours by xorg's rgb.txt equivalents, to
683 reduce round trip time on startup, and short-cut allocation
684 of rgb:rr/gg/bb for xft.
685 - short-cut allocation of rgb values in the xlib case
686 (patch by Paco-Paco).
687 - overhauled color management: smaller codesize, alpha support.
688 - support "rgba:rrrr/gggg/bbbb/aaaa" color specifications and
689 an "[alpha]" prefix.
690 - try to work around Xft and Xrender forcing everything to be 100%
691 transparent. Long Live Xft!
692 - do not include X11/Intrinsic.h anymore, directly use
693 Xlib/Xutil/Xresource directly.
694 - try to find a nearest matching color when color allocation fails
695 on a pseudocolor screen.
696 - SYNCCVS: compared to rxvt-cvs 2006-01-28, no relevant changes.
697 - fix version report (DA) (which was unfortunately broken).
698 - changed version number report again, now to emulate xterm closer.
699 - added the OSC sequence 702 to detect the urxvt version number.
700 - small configure updates.
701 - further RTT optimisations.
702 - backported clean-up patches for makefiles and documentation from
703 the debian package.
704 - updated doc/rxvt-unicode.spec file. It's still not maintained here,
705 but much newer than the old one.
706
7077.4 Sat Jan 28 15:26:27 CET 2006
708 - screen background wasn't always erased properly when scrolling,
709 - re-enabled clearing optimisation disabled in 7.4pre.
710 - small configure updates for libptytty.
711 - fixed version options: line output.
712 - removed stoopid debugging message left in the code.
713
7147.3 Wed Jan 25 22:47:35 CET 2006
715 - don't let iso14755 or mouse reporting get into the way of perl
716 (could lead to global grabs never being cleared).
717 - experimental OnTheSpot editing support (-pe xim-onthespot).
718 - moved Shift-Button2 paste combination to Meta-Button2.
719 - the cutchars resource will now be respected and used by the
720 selection extension.
721 - added the "remote-clipboard" extension which just runs external
722 commands to fetch and store the selection data.
723 - added -depth switch that tries to get a different visual depth
724 than the default (replaces the old PREFER_24_BIT logic).
725 - removed (unused) arabic presentation form composing sequences.
726 - be more strict when deciding that a core font glyph is too wide and
727 needs the careful rendering mode.
728 - allow more leeway for italic fonts when deciding that a character is
729 too wide and needs careful mode.
730 - redraw even more characters around characters using careful mode.
731 - made selection-pastebin fully asynchronous.
732 - reduced number of server turnarounds at startup by allocating
733 atoms only once per display.
734 - renamed on_keyboard_command to on_user_command.
735 - changed version sos (ESC [ > c) response to be more compatible with
736 xterm.
737
7387.2 Sun Jan 22 21:58:16 CET 2006
739 - bugfix: urxvt (not urxvtd) did not correctly handle multiple
740 environments necessary, which resulted in segfaults within
741 getenv (reproducible: urxvt -fn 9x15, open a menu once,
742 ctrl-shift-672c).
743 - bugfix: the selection speedup in in 7.1 unfortunately caused
744 non-ascii characters to enlarge/move the selection.
745 - bugfix: resizing sometimes leaked lines from the secondary to
746 the primary screen.
747 - bugfix: reducing window size while large amounts of text were output
748 could lead to an assertion failure.
749 - added "tabbed" extension that provides a crude tabbed terminal.
750 - added "readline" extension that allows cursor positioning
751 via mouse clicks.
752 - now it is possible to insert the value of the CLIPBOARD selection
753 with shift - mouse button 2.
754 - fixed the automove-background extension to ignore coordinates
755 in non-synthetic events.
756 - created a separate libpty for portable and secure
757 pty/tty/utmp/wtmp/lastlog handling, and include it in rxvt-unicode.
758 - the non-terminfo visual bell now works asynchronously, so
759 continuous ASCI BELs in one terminal do no longer monopolise the
760 whole urxvt[d] process.
761 - support some *BSD makes (for the time being, gnu make is a safe bet).
762 - work around bugs in FreeBSD's gcc.
763 - implemented some *BSD fixes in configure.
764 - removed support for obsolete offix dnd protocol.
765
7667.1 Thu Jan 19 20:25:34 CET 2006
767 - setuid/setgid operation is now _encouraged_: security has been
768 improved by moving privileged operations into a separate process
769 and permanently dropping privileges within the terminal. This
770 makes it possible to remove security checks from the perl code
771 and gives a much safer feeling when urxvt needs to run with
772 special privileges.
773 - perl taint checking disabled, as urxvt no longer runs setuid/setgid
774 itself.
775 - new perl extension automove-background that can be used to get
776 the same effect as pseudo-transparency with any pixmap.
777 - new perl extension example: perl/selection-pastebin, can be used to
778 e.g. upload the selection to a webserver and generate a url, or
779 similar stuff.
780 - use the scrollback buffer even when the scroll region doesn't
781 span the whole screen, as long as it starts at row 0. Helps
782 for programs displaying a status line at the bottom.
783 - selection popup now shows selection in dec/hex/oct.
784 - perl/selection: matching on unicode characters in the selection
785 code was O(n²), which equals infinity in some degenerate cases
786 :-> Matching is now done on UTF-8, which makes it almost instant.
787 - perl/selection, perl/selection-autotransform: regexes are now
788 being interpreted in the locale urxvt was started.
789 - implemented override-redirect option and enabled it on menus,
790 as kwin puts our windows behind the terminal (what a shoddy wm).
791 - fixed struct utmp check in configure for OpenBSD.
792 - complete overhaul of the pty/utmp management stuff and configure
793 (Emanuele Giaquinta=exg).
794 - add tsl/fsl and related capabilities to the terminfo description,
795 to set the window title.
796 - swap the environment in some more cases. This hopefully fixes
797 some segfaults that might be caused by xft asking for env variables
798 at the wrong time.
799 - removed src/strings.C and src/menubar.C. No menubar support
800 anymore.
801 - removed all traces of SMOOTH_REFRESH.
802 - nuked QNX support.
803 - made some fixes to xpm offset and scaling code.
804 - perl-overlays and refresh hooks were not applied in correct order.
805 - changed coordinate-system of view_start/nsaved to be top to bottom.
806 - iom extended to support listening for child exits.
807
8087.0 Fri Jan 13 14:02:18 CET 2006
809 - added sections for DISTRIBUTION MAINTAINERS and about
810 SETUID/SETGID to the FAQ.
811 - selection, searchable-scrollback, selection-popup and
812 option-popup extensions enabled by default.
813 - increased xft drawing speed for problematic fonts. The effect
814 will likely be small as 99% of the xft slowness is server-related.
815 - perl: much increased functionality, better overlays, popup support
816 and much much more.
817 - perl: urxvt::line now can set via ->t and ->r.
818 - perl: changed interpretation of --perl-ext-common and -pe.
819 - perl: finally implemented --perl-eval.
820 - perl: non-blocking anyevent support.
821 - perl: run tainted and ignore perl-eval/perl-lib if started
822 setuid/setgid.
823 - free the resource database: this plugs a massive memory leak. As a
824 side effect, it also gets rid of XGetDefault calls.
825 - free one of the cursors, fixes a small memory leak.
826 - built-in (as opposed to terminfos) visual bell was broken/too fast.
827 - applied minor cleanups by Ladislav Michnovic.
828 - applied pty handling cleanups and improvements (Emanuele Giaquinta).
829 - mark-urls launch-on-click by jepler.
830 - removed "small" resource parsing function, as it wasn't really
831 compatible, and not really small either.
832 - removed PATH_ENV and PATH file search support.
833 - removed support for locale-specific app-defaults file.
834 - fixed a bug where out-of-bounds colour sequences could lead
835 to crashes.
836 - limit colour changing to the standard 88 palette instead of all
837 colours.
838 - XTerm_Color01 sequence returned wrong results in query mode.
839 - iom.C now checks against destructed io_manager when unregistering.
840
8416.3 Wed Jan 4 22:37:10 CET 2006
842 - SECURITY FIX: on systems using openpty, permissions were
843 not correctly updated on the tty device and were left as
844 world-readable and world-writable (likely in original rxvt,
845 too), and were not restored properly. Affected are only
846 systems where non-unix ptys were used (such as most BSDs, not
847 GNU/Linux). (found, patched and debugged by Ryan Beasley).
848 - meta8 support was forcefully enabled in most configurations.
849 restored configurability of this (useless) feature (reported
850 by Mikachu).
851 - optionally embed a perl interpreter, which can be used for more
852 intelligent/customized selection support, visual feedback,
853 menus, tabs etc. See the the urxvtperl manpage, the -pe option,
854 perl*-resources and keysym resources. Not everything is there yet.
855 - try to be more clever about differing font sizes and their ascent.
856 Not guaranteed to work, but works better in most cases now.
857 - fix directory permissions on install.
858 - implemented option to disable built-in line drawing characters
859 and fall back to the font ones (patch by Martin Pohlack).
860 - disabled sched_yield support: the linux version is just too useless
861 (it schedules nice'd processes before the own one for extended
862 periods). Too bad, it could reduce system time by a factor of 5 here.
863
8646.2 Mon Jan 2 16:03:01 CET 2006
865 - implemented intensityStyles option which enables/disables bold/blink
866 selecting high intensity foreground/background colours, suggested by
867 Chuck Blake.
868 - move iso14755 character feedback box out of the way if it would
869 obscure the mouse cursor position.
870 - replaced callback.h by a fixed version from gvpe that correctly
871 returns the callback result (affects new -pty-fd semantics in urxvtc
872 on a few architectures). Reported by darix.
873 - include one trailing space in rectangular selections to indicate
874 the inserted newline (yeah, weird, but visually more pleasing).
875 - try to use sched_yield to (drastically) improve terminal data
876 transfer efficiency.
877 - further minor cleanups.
878
8796.1 Tue Dec 27 13:23:40 CET 2005
880 - update iso8859-7 table (euro and drachma round-trip et al.).
881 - fix a crash when the selection scrolls out of the scrollback
882 while the user still drags.
883 - selections that were partially scrolled out of the window were
884 not drawn correctly.
885 - lines newly scrolled in were not initialized properly, leading
886 to extremely long lines and (hopefully) some segfaults.
887 - iso14755 overlay position was wrong.
888 - iso14755 overlay now displays rendition info, too.
889 - use unicode white space class instead of hardcoded values for
890 stripping whitespace.
891 - do whitespace stripping on rectangular selections.
892 - slight cleanups in src/features.h.
893
8946.0 Sat Dec 24 13:58:56 CET 2005
895 - make it compile without SMART_RESIZE again.
896 - enable slow link support by default.
897 - fix relative cursor-positioning not respecting scrolling regions
898 (also a bug in original rxvt).
899 - initialize termios structure to zero when fetching it fails
900 (see http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=84647 for a
901 partial patch).
902 - bump max columns/rows to 10000 each.
903 - bump max savelines to 10000000.
904 - -pty-fd now passes the urxvtc fd to the urxvtd process.
905 - avoid linking against -lnsl/-lsocket/-lxpg4 unless necessary.
906 - major code cleanup (still not complete, though).
907 - implement -hold option.
908 - _major_ rewrite of internal buffer handling:
909 - re-flow on resize, lines get wrapped instead of winged.
910 - circular line buffer (substantially speeds up scrolling).
911 - slightly less code + data memory usage per terminal.
912 - slight overall speed improvements.
913 - considerably improved code clarity.
914 - partial-screen scrolls no longer end up in the scrollback
915 buffer.
916
9175.9 Sat Dec 17 21:53:17 CET 2005
918 - fix a bug in the menu code of unknown impact, found by darix.
919 - clean up signal handling to be global, not per terminal
920 (matters only for rxvtd).
921 - fix small typoe in rxvt.1 (found by Mike Fabian).
922 - don't crash when broken xft/fontconfig/freetype versions return
923 bogus data, ignore the xft font instead (experienced on suse).
924
9255.8 Tue Oct 25 22:21:45 CEST 2005
926 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: many configure options are now on by default.
927 If you want the old behaviour, try:
928 configure --disable-everything <your enable options>
929 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: -fade changed its meaning to comply with
930 the documentation and common sense: when upgrading, replace your
931 percentage by 100-percentage.
932 - integrated "fade to specific colour" patch by Martin Parm.
933 - slow down the internal visual bell (delay by 20ms) and update
934 the terminfo flash code to use the same delay. This is
935 synchronous, so many bells might inhibit screen updates in other
936 windows.
937 - text with background==foreground colour gets displayed with default
938 bg/fg now when in reverse video, so it can be seen when selecting.
939 - allow koi8r* as x11 encoding name for koi8r (Nikita Danilov).
940 - removed undocumented inheritPixmapforce option.
941 - replaced INSTALL file.
942
9435.7 Wed Jul 13 04:46:33 CEST 2005
944 - implement some useful (hopefully) options for rxvtd.
945 - separate and improved rxvtc(1) and rxvtd(1) manpages.
946 - fix a bug that caused segfaults on startup on systems that do
947 not support local unix connections, e.g cygwin. (btw, I didn't
948 even know about the -rootless and -multiwindow Cygwin/X modes).
949 - large amounts of text without control sequences or newlines
950 could almost freeze output. This has been fixed by adding extra
951 refreshes in these cases (also a problem in original rxvt).
952
9535.6 Sun Jun 26 22:11:13 CEST 2005
954 - R_SB_RXVT bitset value was 0, so rxvt scrollbar was initialised
955 every time resulting in display errors (original rxvt also affected).
956 Reported by Jasmin Buchert.
957 - font names are now considered to be utf-8 encoded (xft apparently
958 uses this convention. X Core fonts might not, but it should be rare).
959 Affects display in iso14755 box.
960 - rewrote the low-level xft drawing function ("xft backend" for the
961 hipper parts of the world) to hopefully cope better with proportional
962 chars mixed with fixed-width ones.
963 - rxvt is now much more careful (read: slower) with potentially
964 overlapping xft characters. It usually overshoots and redraws
965 more than required, but that's better than undershooting and
966 cutting pieces off of characters.
967 - rxvt is now more restrictive in what font heights it accepts for
968 fonts that will likely overshoot or undershoot lines.
969 - fix a cosmetic problem with the unfocused cursor on a wide character
970 at the end of the line (reported by Mikachu).
971 - wide characters not fitting into the end of the line will be
972 output in the next line (reported by Mikachu).
973 - added doc/solaris9.patch by Ewgenij Starostin.
