359.16
36 - the "so much new stuff you eyes will pop out" release.
37 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: renamed urlLauncher resource to url-launcher.
38 - fix processing of DEC private mode save sequences (patch by Patrick
39 Hemmer).
40 - fix disabling of cursor blink with the option-popup menu (based on a
41 patch by Jan Larres).
42 - the font height is not augmented anymore when lineSpace is non zero.
43 - fix "new pagemap" vs. "delete pagemap" mismatch ([] vs. non-[]),
44 as diagnosed by clang.
45 - fix height mismatch between active and inactive cursor when
46 lineSpace is non zero (patch by Stanislav Seletskiy).
47 - make it compile with LOCAL_X_IS_UNIX again (reported by
48 nickfailure@gmail.com).
49 - completely redone background pixmap support - users can now
50 specify arbitrary expressions (And programs) that calculate
51 new terminal backgrounds. see the urxvt-background manpage
52 for details.
53 - xrender is now required for background pixmap support.
54 - perl extensions can now provide commandline switches and resources
55 which show up in -help etc.
56 - iso14755 51 mode window now displays row and column.
57 - implement a -visual switch and move that and -depth to frills, also
58 warn when we can't get the requested visual.
59 - new env variable: RXVT_PERL_LIB.
60 - allocate all screen memory in one go and let the virtual memory
61 subsystem sort it out. this simplifies code, improves access
62 locality, saves a bit of ram and makes things a bit faster, too.
63 - remove support for libafterimage.
64 - update to CVS version of libev, for a whopping 11kb size decrease.
65 - do not ship yet another copy of ecb.h, use the one in libev or
66 libptytty instead.
67 - selectively mark some methods as cache-hot/cache cold, which
68 might speed up execution but definitely decreases codesize.
23 69
24TODO: implement initial chdir for tabs by making it a resource? 709.15 Sat Jan 21 13:36:56 CET 2012
71 - remove "using namespace std" because clang erroneously
72 thinks thats an error.
73 - finding a matching font (e.g. bold version of the base font)
74 was broken (reported by Eamon Walker).
75 - fix parsing of bg image styles. They really work now.
76 - fix blurring of bg image borders when using xrender.
77 - fix xrender blur on common xrender implementations that do
78 not behave correctly when the same pixmap is used as source
79 and destination in composite operations.
80 - fix regression that caused tabbed to compute the wrong size
81 for tabs.
82 - allow again an empty suffix in a keysym list spec (patch by
83 Sung Pae).
84 - unsupported support for sun studio's CC added.
85 - fix -C option on solaris.
86
879.14 Wed Dec 21 18:40:33 CET 2011
88 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: the urxvtd default socket path is now
89 $HOME/.urxvt/urxvtd-<nodename>.
90 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: the "list" keysym expansion now requires
91 loading of the "keysym-list" perl extension.
92 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: A scale value of 0 in the bg image
93 geometry no longer enables tiling, so as to make it possible
94 to disable both scaling and tiling.
95 - overhaul of the bg image operations. The old operations have
96 been deprecated in favour of elementary operations and
97 styles built on top of the new operations and scale/position
98 settings. (Emanuele Giaquinta).
99 - support for libafterimage is deprecated and will be removed
100 in the next release.
101 - fix a crash caused by selection_check not properly resetting
102 out-of-bounds mark values (can happen when extending a selection
103 while scrolling up in curses programs for example).
104 - do not move the selection when scrolling up and the selection is
105 outside the scrolling region (Emanuele Giaquinta).
106 - fix display of bold bright black (reported by Ben Winslow).
107 - fix memory leak when urgentOnBell is set (patch by Nathaniel
108 Filardo).
109 - fix a redraw bug that occurs when a bg pixmap is set and the
110 wm does not honour the size hints set by urxvt. Now urxvt
111 forces the size of the terminal window to be a multiple of
112 the cell size.
113 - sanitise the argument of SD / SU sequences. Fixes a possible
114 crash when the argument is big enough, red hat bug #711137
115 (Emanuele Giaquinta).
116 - correctly split long lines when scrolling.
117 - urxvt now looks for perl extensions also in $HOME/.urxvt/ext.
118 - add bell-command perl extension to execute a command when a
119 bell event occurs (Ryan Kavanagh).
120 - add set_urgency perl binding to set/reset the urgency hint.
121 - consume button release event in matcher (exg).
122 - keyboard accessible list of recent matches in matcher
123 (Bob Farrell).
124 - properly process 'keysym' sequences in tabbed when using
125 'focus follows mouse' and the focus is on the main window
126 but not on the active terminal window (patch by Martin
127 Pohlack).
128 - support for the freedesktop startup-notification protocol (patch by
129 Michael Stapelberg).
130 - the direction of VPR and VPB commands was reversed.
131 - fix alignment of inherited root pixmap when it is a different size
132 than the root window and the terminal window is off the left or top
133 edge (Mikachu).
134 - make $self visible in "eval perl expression" popup action, also
135 handle exceptions better.
136 - fix parsing of '-e' when it occurs as an option argument, such as in
137 'urxvt -title -e' (Emanuele Giaquinta).
138
1399.12 Wed Jun 29 14:34:28 CEST 2011
140 - fix regression in processing of SelectionNotify events.
141 urxvt would fail to request a selection if the owner did not
142 support the UTF8_STRING target.
143 - fix rendering of double width chars in certain circumstances, more
144 likely to happen if urxvt is compiled with 256 colors support as
145 urxvt runs out of fonts much earlier then. Fixes gentoo bug #358151
146 (Emanuele Giaquinta).
147 - restore support for 'list' syntax in keysym resources (requested by Sung Pae).
148 - always premultiply colour values - while this increases differences between
149 core fonts and xft, it is "more correct" in practical situations.
150 - disable PTYTTY_REENTRANT option - not needed for urxvt and saves a bit of code.
151 - remove lucidatypewriter from the list of fallback fonts, it was the only
152 non-xft non-cellfont in the list anyway.
153
1549.11 Mon May 2 10:34:46 CEST 2011
155 - fix compilation on GNU/Hurd, debian bug #624736.
156 - remove 'list' syntax for keysym resources, as it serves no useful purpose.
157 If you need it, poke us and provide a use case.
158 - fix alpha channel support. Premultiply alpha in colours if the visual
159 supports an alpha channel, as xrender expects premultiplied alpha
160 (Emanuele Giaquinta).
161 - fix reply to a selection request sent by an obsolete client
162 such as syncterm (patch by Marcin Cieslak).
163 - fix crash when the window is resized and the overlay is active
164 (Emanuele Giaquinta, reported by Ryan Kavanagh).
165 - match character-wise rather than byte-wise in selection
166 extension again. perl 5.8.9+ is required to avoid extreme
167 slowdowns. Fixes debian bugs #523072, #616463.
168 - fix a possible crash if the INCR transfer process for a
169 selection property timeouts and at least one chunk is
170 received. (Emanuele Giaquinta)
171 - work around a memory corruption bug in xorg's XrmSetDatabase (apparently
172 broken since http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/xorg-commit-diffs/2004-March/000239.html).
173 - fix memory corruption bug when custom command sequences bound to keys
174 were injected into an already-full pty input buffer.
175 - gdk-pixbuf is autodetected by default and preferred over libafterimage.
176 - do not prepend a newline to the selection text when the starting line
177 of the selection is not highlighted (Emanuele Giaquinta).
178 - don't swap perl env with real env, save and restore it, just in case
179 we ever get recursive perl invocations. also saves a bit of codespace
180 with gcc.
181 - fix various memory leaks (Emanuele Giaquinta).
182 - fix typo in kIC terminfo capability, debian bug #446444.
183 - document 'thickness' resource.
184 - fix debian bug #504817, to the extent possible.
185 - try to detect byte order at compile time, saves a couple of
186 hundred bytes, if your compiler is smart enough.
187 - add support for previewing the pasted data in confirm-paste
188 (Emanuele Giaquinta).
189 - added "newlines to spaces" option in selection-popup.
190 - actually enabled solaris event ports backend (was disabled by accident).
191 - revert to 38400 baud max., mission accomplished.
192 - no longer create scary "pty_fill: PLEASE REPORT" message, instead,
193 silently drain the input (problem is well understood now).
194 - no longer swallow rob nation's own graphics mode commands.
195
1969.10 Mon Dec 13 17:43:52 CET 2010
197 - the "schmorp=north korea dickey=south korea" release.
198 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: make OSC 20 simpler and more correct
199 (Emanuele Giaquinta).
200 - if options were compiled out, this could lead to the option
201 count to be defined wrongly. This is likely behind the
202 failures with gcc 4.5.
203 - explicitly depend on fontconfig and xrender when xft support
204 is enabled. Although the public Xft api uses types from
205 both, in Xft 2.2.0 these libs are private
206 dependencies only thanks to an idiotic behaviour of
207 pkg-config that was added to workaround cases like this one.
208 Fixes linking when using GNU ld with --as-needed or GNU gold
209 (based on patch by Jan Palus).
210 - fix minor memory leaks in urxvt and urxvtd.
211 - fix regression in urxvtd that prevented options from being correctly
212 set (reported by Michal Vaner).
213 - implement xterm's horribly broken 1005 mouse reporting mode,
214 and an alternative 1015 mode that works in non-utf-8 locales
215 and has fewer limitations.
216 - fix a possible bug where mouse notifications didn't work after
217 startup for the upper left corner.
218 - implement our own pixbuf to pixmap rendering to get rid of
219 dependency on buggy gdk-pixbuf-xlib. Only truecolor visuals
220 are supported (Emanuele Giaquinta).
221 - apply tinting before shading when both operations are requested.
222 Previously they were intermixed when lightening and the result
223 was inaccurate and confusing. Note that now a black tint yields a
224 completely black image, regardless of shading (Emanuele Giaquinta).
225 - avoid spurious redraws of the bg image when bg is transparent or
226 when using 'root' mode (Emanuele Giaquinta).
227 - fix build on XFree86.
228 - dynamically number options according to compiletime requirements.
229 For the extra saved byte. Or so. Yay.
230 - start options at one, not zero. Wastes a bit per terminal. Maybe.
231 saves 50 instruction bytes. Possibly.
232
2339.09 Sat Nov 13 01:39:07 CET 2010
234 - NOTICE: this release updates terminfo/termcap.
235 - the bestest release ever.
236 - it was verified that urxvt handles µ and μ correctly.

238 - add support for using gdk-pixbuf as image backend (Emanuele Giaquinta).
239 - cleanup and minor fixes of the image code (Emanuele Giaquinta).
240 - new perl extension "confirm-paste" (Emanuele Giaquinta).
241 - new on_tt_paste perl hook and tt_paste perl binding (Emanuele Giaquinta).
242 - new on_bell perl hook (Emanuele Giaquinta).
243 - searchable-scrollback no longer ignores the first line
244 (Emanuele Giaquinta).
245 - properly set VSTATUS in termios for *BSD (reported by Ed Schouten).
246 - fix utmpx detection on upcoming FreeBSD 9.
247 - Use COMPOUND_TEXT encoding for WM_NAME/WM_ICON_NAME value when it
248 is not fully convertible to STRING (patch by James Cloos).
249 - fix a buffer overflow that would cause wrong key sequences to
250 be generated for numpad keys (introduced in 9.05).
251 - fix definition of sgr0 to work around limitations in luit.
252 - extend ISO 14755 5.4 mode to also print the font name of the
253 characters other than first one in the selected cell
254 (Emanuele Giaquinta).
255 - new iso14755 option to disable ISO 14755 at runtime
256 (Emanuele Giaquinta).
257 - make sure pagewise scrolling scrolls at least one line
258 (found by Mikachu).
259 - remove deprecated OSC 18 / 19 and make OSC 17 / 19 apply to
260 highlightColor / highlightTextColor (Emanuele Giaquinta).
261 - add highlightTextColor resource to change the foreground colour of
262 highlighted characters (Emanuele Giaquinta).
263 - make highlightColor apply also to selected cells with reverse video
264 but not to non selected cells with reverse video (Emanuele Giaquinta).
265 - remove colorRV resource (it was enabled only with frills off).
266 - fix numlock handling, the most longstanding bug to date (Emanuele Giaquinta).
267 - reduce the number of custom bits to 4, to make room
268 for 256 colours.
269 - add support for 256 colors (Emanuele Giaquinta, Marc Lehmann).
270 - add rxvt-unicode-256color terminfo and use it by default in 256 colors mode.
271 - update rxvt-unicode terminfo to state 7744 colour pairs to cover all
272 88*88 possible pairs.
273 - actually added macosx-clipboard-native, which should have been in
274 the 9.07 release but had been forgotten.
275 - fix hang if DECAWM is not set and there are not enough columns to insert a
276 character (Emanuele Giaquinta).
277 - cub1 ("backspace") will now respect wrapping when past the rightmost column,
278 working around a shortcoming of most tty line discipline's line editing.
279 - add support for grabbing the clipboard selection and extend
280 selection{_clear,_grab,} perl bindings to optionally work
281 on the clipboard selection (based on patch by Dana Jansens).
282 - no longer force CERASE to BACKSPACE - use the system default. affects
283 default value for VERASE only when no compatible setting for
284 backspacekey was given.
285 - use higher than 38400 baudrate setting, if detected.
286 - erase screen would clear to the wrong background when blinking
287 was enabled (which selects high intensity under some circumstances).
288 - scr_kill_char didn't touch the line.
289 - upgrade and port to libev-4.01.
290 - enabled solaris event ports and kqueue backends (if available).
291
2929.07 Wed Dec 30 07:07:18 CET 2009
293 - port to glibc-2.10 changes (strchr etc. returning const char *
294 in C++), based on patches by Milos Jakubicek and Oliver Mader.
295 - the binary search algorithm to find precomposed characters
296 was faulty, skipping some possible combinations (found by
297 Mikachu).
298 - new -letterspace option, patch by Mark H. Wilkinson.
299 - enable --mlock option for urxvt with frills on
300 systems supporting it (patch by Russell Harmon).
301 - urxvt did not compile without frills enabled
302 (analysed by Matthew Rosewarne).
303 - correctly reset the mbstate after an illegal
304 input sequence when handling terminal output (Emanuele Giaquinta).
305 - avoid redrawing wide characters with combining enabled on every
306 refresh (reported by Mikachu).
307 - fix a typo preventing the ISO-646.1991 character set from being
308 recognized (http://achurch.org/patch-pile/).
309 - better warning for x11 font encoding detection failures, also,
310 try to deduce encoding from both font properties and name
311 (adapted from http://achurch.org/patch-pile/).
312 - resizing the window with the scrollbar disabled via the escapes
313 sequence could make the window bigger again (Mikachu).
314 - make sure the alignment for fd passing control messages
315 is correct and work around some NetBSD issues (Taylor R Campbell).
316 - update to libptytty 1.3.
317 - replace macosx-clipboard by a nicer version by Reza Jelveh, and move
318 the old version to macosx-clipboard-native.
319 - document the -uc option (Emanuele Giaquinta).
320 - assertions in libev are now enabled depending on frills.
321 - update AnyEvent implementation to version 5.23 API.
322 - work around arrogant bsd idiocies again: netbsd spills the default
323 namespace with lots of symbols "for gnu/gcc compatibility" even
324 though neither of them does it, and then calls the rest of the world
325 in need of fixing. go figure.
326 - on_keyboard_command is on_user_command (patch by Michael Witten).
327 - setting the selection from perl will now reset the selection screen
328 to the current screen. the screen can be manipulated using
329 the new ->selection_screen method.

338 - NOTICE: this release updates terminfo/termcap.
339 - updates libev to 3.48.
340 - the aterm code now frees the as visual and image manager objects
341 when a window was closed.
342 - do not (wrongly) adjust the virtual line length inside
343 scr_insdel_chars/ERASE (Miroslav Lichvar).
344 - fix an issue where wide tab characters caused character shifts
345 when part of them was deleted (tracked down by Miroslav Lichvar).
346 - artificially enlargen the previous character at the end of a line
347 when trying to output a character that doesn't fit. looks ugly, but
348 makes copy&paste work.

350 no longer apply.
351 - the urgency hint is now cleared on both focus in and focus out.

353 - perl 5.10 needs PERL_SYS_INIT3 on hppa.
354 - ignore byte-order marks and do not treat them like combining characters.
355 - fix build issue when CURSOR_BLINK is not defined (Emanuele Giaquinta).
356 - do some µ-optimisations to the character fast path.
357 - use a less cunning, but more robust algorithm to avoid one terminal
358 monopolising the whole process by outputting a lot of text.
359 - try to work around linux first breaking sched_yield and now breaking
360 the only known workaround.
361 - new option -icon to set _NET_WM_ICON (based on patch by Frank Schmitt).
362 - initialise the as visual only on demand, instead of unconditionally,
363 to save memory in the common case of not using visual gimmicks.
364 - try to work around bugs in a few wm's that erroneously resize
365 client windows on hint property updates by temporarily
366 disabling size hints.
367 - implement the DECSTR soft reset sequence and use it for tput init,
368 and make hard RIS and DECSTR both reset more private modes, such
369 as mouse reporting.
370 - redundantly clear mouse reporting and a few other states in
371 tput init/tput reset, for older urxvts.
372 - partial/full clear screens did cause flickering and possibly pixel
373 droppings when urxvt viewed the scrollback buffer.
374 - use current rendition style in DCH sequence.
375 - the 132/80 mode switch no longer forces a screen reset.
376 - add an osc sequence to change the border colour (Emanuele Giaquinta).
377 - new perl extension "overlay-osc", for status displays and the like.
378 - fix some minor cursor drawing issues with overlays by allowing
379 overlays to modify screen flags (to disable the cursor themselves).

28 with more than 31 file descriptors on non-linux 64 bit systems. 389 with more than 31 file descriptors on non-linux 64 bit systems.
29 - correctly reset the multibyte state to the initial one 390 - correctly reset the multibyte state to the initial one
30 after EILSEQ (patch by Neil Booth). This fixes the 391 after EILSEQ (patch by Neil Booth). This fixes the
31 issue of rxvt-unicode not properly displaying text after an illegal 392 issue of rxvt-unicode not properly displaying text after an illegal
32 sequence on NetBSD and probably other systems. 393 sequence on NetBSD and probably other systems.
394 - more intelligent property handling with -pe tabbed, works around
395 broken window managers (kwm et al.), saves bandwidth and should
396 help working window managers as well.
33 - made tabs moveable (based on a patch by Petr Machata). 397 - made tabs moveable (based on a patch by Petr Machata).
