14 32
33 - fix regression that caused the core double-click word
34 selection to erroneously include a tab on the left of the
35 selected word.
36 - add support for the set cursor style (DECSCUSR) control
37 function.
38 - honour cursorColor also when the cursor style is underline.
39
409.18 Sun Mar 24 15:33:35 CET 2013
41 - fix regression that caused artifacts on resize.
42
439.17 Fri Mar 1 13:46:08 CET 2013
44 - add shade operator in background perl extension.
45 - avoid starting or ending the selection in the middle of wide
46 characters to avoid artifacts (reproted by Tiago Resende).
47 - fix artifacts that may occur if the character in the cursor
48 cell has width > 1 (reported by Tiago Resende).
49 - fix regression that causes artifacts on scrolling if
50 saveLines is 0 and the window is resized (reported by Bert
51 Münnich).
52 - fix build when perl is enabled and pixbuf and transparency
53 are disabled.
54
559.16 Thu Dec 27 11:56:43 CET 2012
56 - the "so much new stuff your eyes will pop out" release.
57 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: renamed urlLauncher resource to url-launcher.
58 - fix processing of DEC private mode save sequences (patch by Patrick
59 Hemmer).
60 - perl extensions now have their own manpages, installed as urxvt-NAME(1),
61 e.g. urxvt-background(1) - see urxvt-extensions(1) for a list.
62 - fix disabling of cursor blink with the option-popup menu (based on a
63 patch by Jan Larres).
64 - the font height is not augmented anymore when lineSpace is non zero.
65 - fix "new pagemap" vs. "delete pagemap" mismatch ([] vs. non-[]),
66 as diagnosed by clang.
67 - fix height mismatch between active and inactive cursor when
68 lineSpace is non zero (patch by Stanislav Seletskiy).
69 - make it compile with LOCAL_X_IS_UNIX again (reported by
70 nickfailure@gmail.com).
71 - completely redone background pixmap support - users can now
72 specify arbitrary expressions (And programs) that calculate
73 new terminal backgrounds. see the urxvt-background manpage
74 for details.
75 - xrender is now required for background pixmap support.
76 - perl extensions can now provide commandline switches and resources
77 which show up in -help etc.
78 - iso14755 51 mode window now displays row and column.
79 - implement a -visual switch and move that and -depth to frills, also
80 warn when we can't get the requested visual.
81 - new env variable: RXVT_PERL_LIB.
82 - allocate all screen memory in one go and let the virtual memory
83 subsystem sort it out. this simplifies code, improves access
84 locality, saves a bit of ram and makes things a bit faster, too.
85 - remove support for libafterimage.
86 - update to CVS version of libev, for a whopping 11kb size decrease.
87 - do not ship yet another copy of ecb.h, use the one in libev or
88 libptytty instead.
89 - selectively mark some methods as cache-hot/cache cold, which
90 might speed up execution but definitely decreases codesize.
91 - Fix regression that prevented the scrollbar trough color
92 from being applied (reported by Derek B. Noonburg).
93 - Fix the scrollbar size for rxvt style (patch by Mark Robinson).
94
959.15 Sat Jan 21 13:36:56 CET 2012
96 - remove "using namespace std" because clang erroneously
97 thinks thats an error.
98 - finding a matching font (e.g. bold version of the base font)
99 was broken (reported by Eamon Walker).
100 - fix parsing of bg image styles. They really work now.
101 - fix blurring of bg image borders when using xrender.
102 - fix xrender blur on common xrender implementations that do
103 not behave correctly when the same pixmap is used as source
104 and destination in composite operations.
105 - fix regression that caused tabbed to compute the wrong size
106 for tabs.
107 - allow again an empty suffix in a keysym list spec (patch by
108 Sung Pae).
109 - unsupported support for sun studio's CC added.
110 - fix -C option on solaris.
111
1129.14 Wed Dec 21 18:40:33 CET 2011
113 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: the urxvtd default socket path is now
114 $HOME/.urxvt/urxvtd-<nodename>.
115 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: the "list" keysym expansion now requires
116 loading of the "keysym-list" perl extension.
117 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: A scale value of 0 in the bg image
118 geometry no longer enables tiling, so as to make it possible
119 to disable both scaling and tiling.
120 - overhaul of the bg image operations. The old operations have
121 been deprecated in favour of elementary operations and
122 styles built on top of the new operations and scale/position
123 settings. (Emanuele Giaquinta).
124 - support for libafterimage is deprecated and will be removed
125 in the next release.
126 - fix a crash caused by selection_check not properly resetting
127 out-of-bounds mark values (can happen when extending a selection
128 while scrolling up in curses programs for example).
129 - do not move the selection when scrolling up and the selection is
130 outside the scrolling region (Emanuele Giaquinta).
131 - fix display of bold bright black (reported by Ben Winslow).
132 - fix memory leak when urgentOnBell is set (patch by Nathaniel
133 Filardo).
134 - fix a redraw bug that occurs when a bg pixmap is set and the
135 wm does not honour the size hints set by urxvt. Now urxvt
136 forces the size of the terminal window to be a multiple of
137 the cell size.
138 - sanitise the argument of SD / SU sequences. Fixes a possible
139 crash when the argument is big enough, red hat bug #711137
140 (Emanuele Giaquinta).
141 - correctly split long lines when scrolling.
142 - urxvt now looks for perl extensions also in $HOME/.urxvt/ext.
143 - add bell-command perl extension to execute a command when a
144 bell event occurs (Ryan Kavanagh).
145 - add set_urgency perl binding to set/reset the urgency hint.
146 - consume button release event in matcher (exg).
147 - keyboard accessible list of recent matches in matcher
148 (Bob Farrell).
149 - properly process 'keysym' sequences in tabbed when using
150 'focus follows mouse' and the focus is on the main window
151 but not on the active terminal window (patch by Martin
152 Pohlack).
153 - support for the freedesktop startup-notification protocol (patch by
154 Michael Stapelberg).
155 - the direction of VPR and VPB commands was reversed.
156 - fix alignment of inherited root pixmap when it is a different size
157 than the root window and the terminal window is off the left or top
158 edge (Mikachu).
159 - make $self visible in "eval perl expression" popup action, also
160 handle exceptions better.
161 - fix parsing of '-e' when it occurs as an option argument, such as in
162 'urxvt -title -e' (Emanuele Giaquinta).
163
1649.12 Wed Jun 29 14:34:28 CEST 2011
165 - fix regression in processing of SelectionNotify events.
166 urxvt would fail to request a selection if the owner did not
167 support the UTF8_STRING target.
168 - fix rendering of double width chars in certain circumstances, more
169 likely to happen if urxvt is compiled with 256 colors support as
170 urxvt runs out of fonts much earlier then. Fixes gentoo bug #358151
171 (Emanuele Giaquinta).
172 - restore support for 'list' syntax in keysym resources (requested by Sung Pae).
173 - always premultiply colour values - while this increases differences between
174 core fonts and xft, it is "more correct" in practical situations.
175 - disable PTYTTY_REENTRANT option - not needed for urxvt and saves a bit of code.
176 - remove lucidatypewriter from the list of fallback fonts, it was the only
177 non-xft non-cellfont in the list anyway.
178
1799.11 Mon May 2 10:34:46 CEST 2011
180 - fix compilation on GNU/Hurd, debian bug #624736.
181 - remove 'list' syntax for keysym resources, as it serves no useful purpose.
182 If you need it, poke us and provide a use case.
183 - fix alpha channel support. Premultiply alpha in colours if the visual
184 supports an alpha channel, as xrender expects premultiplied alpha
185 (Emanuele Giaquinta).
186 - fix reply to a selection request sent by an obsolete client
187 such as syncterm (patch by Marcin Cieslak).
188 - fix crash when the window is resized and the overlay is active
189 (Emanuele Giaquinta, reported by Ryan Kavanagh).
190 - match character-wise rather than byte-wise in selection
191 extension again. perl 5.8.9+ is required to avoid extreme
192 slowdowns. Fixes debian bugs #523072, #616463.
193 - fix a possible crash if the INCR transfer process for a
194 selection property timeouts and at least one chunk is
195 received. (Emanuele Giaquinta)
196 - work around a memory corruption bug in xorg's XrmSetDatabase (apparently
197 broken since http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/xorg-commit-diffs/2004-March/000239.html).
198 - fix memory corruption bug when custom command sequences bound to keys
199 were injected into an already-full pty input buffer.
200 - gdk-pixbuf is autodetected by default and preferred over libafterimage.
201 - do not prepend a newline to the selection text when the starting line
202 of the selection is not highlighted (Emanuele Giaquinta).
203 - don't swap perl env with real env, save and restore it, just in case
204 we ever get recursive perl invocations. also saves a bit of codespace
205 with gcc.
206 - fix various memory leaks (Emanuele Giaquinta).
207 - fix typo in kIC terminfo capability, debian bug #446444.
208 - document 'thickness' resource.
209 - fix debian bug #504817, to the extent possible.
210 - try to detect byte order at compile time, saves a couple of
211 hundred bytes, if your compiler is smart enough.
212 - add support for previewing the pasted data in confirm-paste
213 (Emanuele Giaquinta).
214 - added "newlines to spaces" option in selection-popup.
215 - actually enabled solaris event ports backend (was disabled by accident).
216 - revert to 38400 baud max., mission accomplished.
217 - no longer create scary "pty_fill: PLEASE REPORT" message, instead,
218 silently drain the input (problem is well understood now).
219 - no longer swallow rob nation's own graphics mode commands.
220
2219.10 Mon Dec 13 17:43:52 CET 2010
222 - the "schmorp=north korea dickey=south korea" release.
223 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: make OSC 20 simpler and more correct
224 (Emanuele Giaquinta).
225 - if options were compiled out, this could lead to the option
226 count to be defined wrongly. This is likely behind the
227 failures with gcc 4.5.
228 - explicitly depend on fontconfig and xrender when xft support
229 is enabled. Although the public Xft api uses types from
230 both, in Xft 2.2.0 these libs are private
231 dependencies only thanks to an idiotic behaviour of
232 pkg-config that was added to workaround cases like this one.
233 Fixes linking when using GNU ld with --as-needed or GNU gold
234 (based on patch by Jan Palus).
235 - fix minor memory leaks in urxvt and urxvtd.
236 - fix regression in urxvtd that prevented options from being correctly
237 set (reported by Michal Vaner).
238 - implement xterm's horribly broken 1005 mouse reporting mode,
239 and an alternative 1015 mode that works in non-utf-8 locales
240 and has fewer limitations.
241 - fix a possible bug where mouse notifications didn't work after
242 startup for the upper left corner.
243 - implement our own pixbuf to pixmap rendering to get rid of
244 dependency on buggy gdk-pixbuf-xlib. Only truecolor visuals
245 are supported (Emanuele Giaquinta).
246 - apply tinting before shading when both operations are requested.
247 Previously they were intermixed when lightening and the result
248 was inaccurate and confusing. Note that now a black tint yields a
249 completely black image, regardless of shading (Emanuele Giaquinta).
250 - avoid spurious redraws of the bg image when bg is transparent or
251 when using 'root' mode (Emanuele Giaquinta).
252 - fix build on XFree86.
253 - dynamically number options according to compiletime requirements.
254 For the extra saved byte. Or so. Yay.
255 - start options at one, not zero. Wastes a bit per terminal. Maybe.
256 saves 50 instruction bytes. Possibly.
257
2589.09 Sat Nov 13 01:39:07 CET 2010
259 - NOTICE: this release updates terminfo/termcap.
260 - the bestest release ever.
261 - it was verified that urxvt handles µ and μ correctly.
262 - add support for blending and blurring with XRender (Emanuele Giaquinta).
263 - add support for using gdk-pixbuf as image backend (Emanuele Giaquinta).
264 - cleanup and minor fixes of the image code (Emanuele Giaquinta).
265 - new perl extension "confirm-paste" (Emanuele Giaquinta).
266 - new on_tt_paste perl hook and tt_paste perl binding (Emanuele Giaquinta).
267 - new on_bell perl hook (Emanuele Giaquinta).
268 - searchable-scrollback no longer ignores the first line
269 (Emanuele Giaquinta).
270 - properly set VSTATUS in termios for *BSD (reported by Ed Schouten).
271 - fix utmpx detection on upcoming FreeBSD 9.
272 - Use COMPOUND_TEXT encoding for WM_NAME/WM_ICON_NAME value when it
273 is not fully convertible to STRING (patch by James Cloos).
274 - fix a buffer overflow that would cause wrong key sequences to
275 be generated for numpad keys (introduced in 9.05).
276 - fix definition of sgr0 to work around limitations in luit.
277 - extend ISO 14755 5.4 mode to also print the font name of the
278 characters other than first one in the selected cell
279 (Emanuele Giaquinta).
280 - new iso14755 option to disable ISO 14755 at runtime
281 (Emanuele Giaquinta).
282 - make sure pagewise scrolling scrolls at least one line
283 (found by Mikachu).
284 - remove deprecated OSC 18 / 19 and make OSC 17 / 19 apply to
285 highlightColor / highlightTextColor (Emanuele Giaquinta).
286 - add highlightTextColor resource to change the foreground colour of
287 highlighted characters (Emanuele Giaquinta).
288 - make highlightColor apply also to selected cells with reverse video
289 but not to non selected cells with reverse video (Emanuele Giaquinta).
290 - remove colorRV resource (it was enabled only with frills off).
291 - fix numlock handling, the most longstanding bug to date (Emanuele Giaquinta).
292 - reduce the number of custom bits to 4, to make room
293 for 256 colours.
294 - add support for 256 colors (Emanuele Giaquinta, Marc Lehmann).
295 - add rxvt-unicode-256color terminfo and use it by default in 256 colors mode.
296 - update rxvt-unicode terminfo to state 7744 colour pairs to cover all
297 88*88 possible pairs.
298 - actually added macosx-clipboard-native, which should have been in
299 the 9.07 release but had been forgotten.
300 - fix hang if DECAWM is not set and there are not enough columns to insert a
301 character (Emanuele Giaquinta).
302 - cub1 ("backspace") will now respect wrapping when past the rightmost column,
303 working around a shortcoming of most tty line discipline's line editing.
304 - add support for grabbing the clipboard selection and extend
305 selection{_clear,_grab,} perl bindings to optionally work
306 on the clipboard selection (based on patch by Dana Jansens).
307 - no longer force CERASE to BACKSPACE - use the system default. affects
308 default value for VERASE only when no compatible setting for
309 backspacekey was given.
310 - use higher than 38400 baudrate setting, if detected.
311 - erase screen would clear to the wrong background when blinking
312 was enabled (which selects high intensity under some circumstances).
313 - scr_kill_char didn't touch the line.
314 - upgrade and port to libev-4.01.
315 - enabled solaris event ports and kqueue backends (if available).
316
3179.07 Wed Dec 30 07:07:18 CET 2009
318 - port to glibc-2.10 changes (strchr etc. returning const char *
319 in C++), based on patches by Milos Jakubicek and Oliver Mader.
320 - the binary search algorithm to find precomposed characters
321 was faulty, skipping some possible combinations (found by
322 Mikachu).
323 - new -letterspace option, patch by Mark H. Wilkinson.
324 - enable --mlock option for urxvt with frills on
325 systems supporting it (patch by Russell Harmon).
326 - urxvt did not compile without frills enabled
327 (analysed by Matthew Rosewarne).
328 - correctly reset the mbstate after an illegal
329 input sequence when handling terminal output (Emanuele Giaquinta).
330 - avoid redrawing wide characters with combining enabled on every
331 refresh (reported by Mikachu).
332 - fix a typo preventing the ISO-646.1991 character set from being
333 recognized (http://achurch.org/patch-pile/).
334 - better warning for x11 font encoding detection failures, also,
335 try to deduce encoding from both font properties and name
336 (adapted from http://achurch.org/patch-pile/).
337 - resizing the window with the scrollbar disabled via the escapes
338 sequence could make the window bigger again (Mikachu).
339 - make sure the alignment for fd passing control messages
340 is correct and work around some NetBSD issues (Taylor R Campbell).
341 - update to libptytty 1.3.
342 - replace macosx-clipboard by a nicer version by Reza Jelveh, and move
343 the old version to macosx-clipboard-native.
344 - document the -uc option (Emanuele Giaquinta).
345 - assertions in libev are now enabled depending on frills.
346 - update AnyEvent implementation to version 5.23 API.
347 - work around arrogant bsd idiocies again: netbsd spills the default
348 namespace with lots of symbols "for gnu/gcc compatibility" even
349 though neither of them does it, and then calls the rest of the world
350 in need of fixing. go figure.
351 - on_keyboard_command is on_user_command (patch by Michael Witten).
352 - setting the selection from perl will now reset the selection screen
353 to the current screen. the screen can be manipulated using
354 the new ->selection_screen method.
355 - implement --enable-assert configure option and get rid of DEBUG_STRICT
356 (based on patch by Emanuele Giaquinta).

358 - allow `xxx' quoting style for perl selection.
359 - upgrade to libev-3.9 prerelease.
360 - updated compose tables to unicode 5.2.0.
361
3629.06 Sat Nov 8 17:47:18 CET 2008
363 - NOTICE: this release updates terminfo/termcap.
364 - updates libev to 3.48.
365 - the aterm code now frees the as visual and image manager objects
366 when a window was closed.
367 - do not (wrongly) adjust the virtual line length inside
368 scr_insdel_chars/ERASE (Miroslav Lichvar).
369 - fix an issue where wide tab characters caused character shifts
370 when part of them was deleted (tracked down by Miroslav Lichvar).
371 - artificially enlargen the previous character at the end of a line
372 when trying to output a character that doesn't fit. looks ugly, but
373 makes copy&paste work.
374 - remove bogus "setuid/setgid security issues" from rxvt.1.pod, they
375 no longer apply.
376 - the urgency hint is now cleared on both focus in and focus out.
377 - cache urgency hint locally to avoid server rtt on every focus change.
378 - perl 5.10 needs PERL_SYS_INIT3 on hppa.
379 - ignore byte-order marks and do not treat them like combining characters.
380 - fix build issue when CURSOR_BLINK is not defined (Emanuele Giaquinta).
381 - do some µ-optimisations to the character fast path.
382 - use a less cunning, but more robust algorithm to avoid one terminal
383 monopolising the whole process by outputting a lot of text.
384 - try to work around linux first breaking sched_yield and now breaking
385 the only known workaround.
386 - new option -icon to set _NET_WM_ICON (based on patch by Frank Schmitt).
387 - initialise the as visual only on demand, instead of unconditionally,
388 to save memory in the common case of not using visual gimmicks.
389 - try to work around bugs in a few wm's that erroneously resize
390 client windows on hint property updates by temporarily
391 disabling size hints.
392 - implement the DECSTR soft reset sequence and use it for tput init,
393 and make hard RIS and DECSTR both reset more private modes, such
394 as mouse reporting.
395 - redundantly clear mouse reporting and a few other states in
396 tput init/tput reset, for older urxvts.
397 - partial/full clear screens did cause flickering and possibly pixel
398 droppings when urxvt viewed the scrollback buffer.
399 - use current rendition style in DCH sequence.
400 - the 132/80 mode switch no longer forces a screen reset.
401 - add an osc sequence to change the border colour (Emanuele Giaquinta).
402 - new perl extension "overlay-osc", for status displays and the like.
403 - fix some minor cursor drawing issues with overlays by allowing
404 overlays to modify screen flags (to disable the cursor themselves).
405 - work around programs not restoring rstyle before rmcup
406 (analysed by Miroslav Lichvar).
407
4089.05 Sun Jun 15 20:09:20 CEST 2008
409 - new option --cd/chdir to set the starting working directory.
410 - tabbed extension now starts in the "correct" working directory.
411 - work around fedora 9 providing isastream but not the relevant
412 header file for it (report by Tuncer Ayaz).
413 - upgrade libev, fixing a bug in the select backend.
414 with more than 31 file descriptors on non-linux 64 bit systems.
415 - correctly reset the multibyte state to the initial one
416 after EILSEQ (patch by Neil Booth). This fixes the
417 issue of rxvt-unicode not properly displaying text after an illegal
418 sequence on NetBSD and probably other systems.
419 - more intelligent property handling with -pe tabbed, works around
420 broken window managers (kwm et al.), saves bandwidth and should
421 help working window managers as well.
422 - made tabs moveable (based on a patch by Petr Machata).
423 - implement ESC [ 3 K as a more rational alternative to ESC [ 0 K.
424 - support relative paths for RXVT_SOCKET in urxvtd.
425 - the tabbed extension now blindly copies over all (rxvt-) resources
426 from the toplevel window to the children.
427 - better diagnostic on 0x0 window geometries.
428 - update AnyEvent API to version 3.4 and above.
429 - document the default value of :0 for DISPLAY.
430 - rename perl method XChangeWindowProperty to XChangeProperty.
431
4329.02 Tue Jan 29 11:58:36 CET 2008
433 - the "exg makes everybody happy" release.
434 - fix build with !xft.
435 - always compile in plain style scrollbar (simplifies code and looks great).
436
4379.01 Sat Jan 26 20:49:27 CET 2008
438 - be more aggressive about handling X events, this seems to be required
439 with newer xlibs (should fix the "screen stays black until event is
440 received" problem, again :)
441 - add buffered resource to control xft double-buffering.
442
4439.0 Fri Jan 25 19:34:04 CET 2008
444 - fix a crash bug where urxvtd would crash when urxvtc was called
445 with wrong arguments (I wish debian maintainers in general would
446 report bugs and their proposed fixes to the original package maintainers
447 instead of sitting on them for good measure to see if anybody notices).
448 - drawing xft compose characters was causing garbage to be drawn.
449 - correctly clear xft character background in all cases.
450 - implement bracketed paste mode (xterm private mode 2004).
451 - improve documentation on alpha channel handling, make urxvt
452 work better on servers lacking the RENDER extension when alpha
453 channels or background images are used.
454 - check for refresh after initialising to avoid staying blank
455 till the first event arrives. or so.
456 - the FORCE_UNBUFFERED_XFT feature macro works again.
457 - continuously update transparency while moving/resizing now.
458 - OSC 39/49 are deprecated and aliased to OSC 10/11.
459 - cub1 now acts as advertised (and ignores the "wrapped" state).
460 - the 132/80 mode switch now forces a height of 24, too, and
461 resets the terminal.
462 - scrollbar code cleanups.
463 - stopping children is no longer confused with children exiting.
464 - removed (undocumented) #aarrggbb format.
465 - updated to libev 3.0.
466
4678.9 Mon Dec 24 07:51:40 CET 2007
468 - fix the issue where urxvtd would not immediately close a window
469 when the command exited but only on the next X event.
470 - changed terminfo file not to use application keypad mode.
471 - fix the issue where making a selection in one urxvtd window
472 would not clear it visually in another.
473 - fix an issue of urxvt not getting background pixmap updates
474 and flickering after bg pixmap changes (reported by Mikachu).
475 - fix redraw bug in xterm scrollbar with -sr (reported by Mikachu).
476 - correctly provide dependencies for libev (µikachu).
477 - minor code reorganisations and cleanups.
478 - be more robust in case the urxvt-popup extension cannot be loaded.
479
4808.8 Sat Dec 15 19:40:39 CET 2007
481 - option -C was aliased to all unsupported options, activating
482 options that shouldn't be compiled in, leading to interesting
483 effects.
484 - updated libev, working around a bug in linux 2.4, curing the
485 symptom of urxvt not closing its window on shell exit. also
486 fixes a problem with urxvt not refreshing.
487 - the text blink callback was called even when no blinking
488 text was visible.
489 - pre-8.4 slipwheeling behaviour has been reinstated, with
490 some minor improvements.
491 - streamlined x events processing to only flush once per
492 display and not once per terminal window.
493 - quite a bit of minor code cleanups and codesize optimisations.
494
4958.7 Sun Nov 25 10:23:49 CET 2007
496 - update libev with an important bugfix that would cause crashes
497 when closing windows (when using rxvtd, and update is recommended).
498 - do not compile in the block builtin graphics with --disable-frills.
499
5008.6 Fri Nov 23 14:10:57 CET 2007
501 - upgrade libev to disable kqueue on anything but netbsd as it
502 seems to be broken everywhere else w.r.t. ptys.
503 - allow for spurious event notifications, as at least epoll and
504 especially solaris ports like to lie about them (symptoms:
505 urxvt "hangs" until there is some x11 related activity).
506 - -keysym command line options are now subjected to xlib parsing.
507 - add 'xrm' option analogous to Xt one.
508
5098.5a Wed Nov 21 10:16:33 CET 2007
510 - make it compile with --disable-transparency.
511
5128.5 Wed Nov 21 05:19:20 CET 2007
513 - expect major portability issues in this release: please test and report.
514 - converted from the veritable io manager event loop to
515 the high performance libev (http://software.schmorp.de/pkg/libev).
516 - minor tuning to the perl selection (include single words and more quoting chars).
517 - fix memory leak in pixmap code.
518 - fix a serious bug while setting the XIM destroy callback
519 on (typical) 64 bit systems.
520 - automove-background functionality re-implemented internally using :root op in pixmap
521 geometry string. For example: rxvt -pixmap "image.jpg;:root"
522 - do not link rxvtc against every lib on the planet anymore.
523 - parallel builds should work once more.
524
5258.4 Sat Oct 27 14:02:13 CEST 2007
526 - overhaul of the transparency/pixmap code (sasha).
527 - fix possible race between visual bell and poweron.
528 (reported by Martin von Gagern, gentoo?).
529 - urxvt -e no longer crashes the child.
530 - fixed some minor memleaks on incorrect usage or
531 missing DISPLAY.
532 - implement xterm 1002/1003 mouse tracking modes (exg).
533 - source code organisational cleanups (exg).
534 - updated io_manager.
535
5368.3 Wed Aug 1 20:21:31 CEST 2007
537 - new option: skipScroll/-ss, enabled by default.
538 - go with the times and expect x11 library files in /usr/lib, not
539 /usr/X11R6/lib.
540 - initial transparency improvement/afterimage support
541 patch by Sasha Vasko.
542 - add urgentOnBell resource to set the urgency hint
543 (patch by Philip Paeps).
544 - do not process focus events caused by grabs
545 (patch by Mikachu).
546 - add iso14755_52 resource to disable iso14755 5.2 (exg).
547 - add binding for backspace in iso14755 5.1 to remove the last
548 digit (exg).
549 - better option handling, support more than 30 options (exg).
550 - nuke reconf script, serves no purpose anymore.
551 - fixed and documented matcher/on_user_command processing in matcher
552 extension (tpope).
553 - compile out of the box on Solaris 10 (exg).
554 - fix MappingNotify events (reported by Stephan Walter).
555 - zero-initialise mwmhints, this seems to solve all sorts of minor
556 problems.
557
5588.2 Sat Feb 17 21:35:28 CET 2007
559 - fix make depend in src/, reported by exg.
560 - fixed typo in urxvt::GET_CUSTOM, causing the result to be wrong.
561 (patch by Sergey Vlasov).
562 - unbundled iom perl interface somewhat.
563 - scrollbar-xterm now uses the selected scrollColor instead of fg
564 (found by Aiviru).
565 - disabled linux kernel bug workaround again: disabling it gives
566 a 50% speed hit on affected machines, while enabling it gives
567 a similar speed hit to screen, which is likely the more common
568 case to work around for :/
569 - urxvt::rend2mask perl function, and utilization of it by matcher
570 (patch by Moshe Kamensky).
571 - use perl:matcher on a keysym to open most recently displayed URL.
572 - with matcher, when multiple patterns match, last wins, not first.
573 - fix make and make install with srcdir != builddir (exg).
574 - updated bundled libptytty to fix a bug where the tty would be kept
575 open (see the libptytty ChangeLog for details).
576 - delay setting the IUTF8 flag to after the tty settings have been
577 set so its value does not get lost (reported and analysed by Andrei
578 Paskevich).
579 - rip out support for obsolete sgtty.h interface.
580 - rip out support for non-POSIX termios variants.
581 - update libptytty.
582 - update iom.C, make it call ptytty::sanitise_stdfd on init.
583 - when !XFT, change rounding of colours to use a less correct formula to
584 meet user expectancies (#aaa becomes #a000a000a000 not #9f9f9f9f9f9f).
585 - change the starting offset of the pixmap set with backgroundPixmap
586 from (50,50) to (0,0) (exg).
587 - fix a typo in button_release, now meta-button2 request the value of
588 the Clipboard selection as it should (patch by Serge Koksharov).
589 - fix a bug in drawing a cell with a nonspacing char when using an xft
590 font with inheritPixmap and tintColor (exg).
591
5928.1 Thu Dec 7 22:27:25 CET 2006
593 - ｹﾘｽﾏｽﾌ゚ﾚｾ゙ﾝﾄ - zomg!!1, it's too early!!!
594 - fix the assumption that chars < 256 are single-width. Now
595 only assume this for codepoints 32 to 126 (reported by Dai.H.).
596 - $term->strwidth returned wide chars as width 1, because some jerk
597 confused min and max. Fixing this also fixes xim-onthespot.
598 Reported by Takano Akio.
599 - secondaryScroll is now enabled by default (as per the manpage),
600 reported by exg.
601 - correct the description of [percent]color rgba format in the manpage.
602 - incorporated macosx-clipboard extension by Samuel Ljungkvist.
603 - ignore (some) useless focus events (reported by mmc).
604 - updated compose table to unicode 5.0.0.
605
6068.0 Thu Nov 2 18:35:19 CET 2006
607 - combining characters cleared the area instead of creating an overlay,
608 thus losing the ability to draw combining characters properly in most
609 circumstances (reported by exg).
610 - specified fonts were incorrectly morphed to bold/italic according to the
611 basefont, even if explicitly specified (tracked down by tpope).
612 - fixed urxvt::strwidth to calculate width in the same way as screen.C.
613 - fix a crash caused by passing negative widths to overlay functions.
614 - added 'matcher' extension by tpope, replacing the mark-urls extension.
615 - improve url regex to match anything www.* (tpope).
616 - fixed bug with outline cursor color being wrong after xft fonts.
617 - update to libptytty-1.0.
618 - give proper diagnostic when RXVT_SOCKET is too long instead of
619 corrupting the stack (patch by exg).
620 - display current terminal locale in option menu.
621 - urxvtd no longer crashes when the client sends an inaccessible
622 working directory (reported by Roland Baer, possibly fixes gentoo
623 bug #143985).
624 - fixed many minor issues reported by Roland Baer.
625 - Leonid Khramov spotted a minor glitch in rxvtfont.C that
626 should not have any consequences, but was buggy nonetheless.
627 - manpage fix by exg.
628
6297.9 Mon Aug 7 18:16:07 CEST 2006
630 - fix the crashing bug people encountered with 7.8 + urxvtd + perl
631 + transparency. Ought to fix debian bug #380348.
632 - fix urxvtc.1.pod: it actually claimed -pty-fd would not work. But
633 it does! :->
634 - rxvt_fatal() in case the locale string is too long for our static buffer.
635 - fixed many, many, typos in the manpages (patch supplied by ves).
636
6377.8 Mon Jul 17 21:00:46 CEST 2006
638 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: this version will always read ~/.Xdefaults,
639 earlier versions only read it if display-resources (usually from
640 .Xresources) are not set. This avoids the #1 FAQ ("why isn't my
641 resource used") and seems to be logical behaviour, too. .Xdefaults
642 resources have a lower priority than display-specific resources.
643 - add "kuake" perl extension that does a similar thing to the kuake
644 terminal emulator (see man urxvtperl).
645 - use less "correct" color scaling that is compatible with libX11 and
646 Xft (avoids off-by-one colors resulting in striped backgrounds).
647 - the "depth" resource is now respected.
648 - preset the searchable-scrollback pattern with "(?i)" to default search
649 to case-insensitivity. Will automatically be cleared when typing an
650 uppercase character.
651 - add FORCE_UNBUFFERED_XFT define to features.h.
652 - re-enabled highlightcolor support with --enable-frills, based on
653 a patch by Martin Stubenschrott.
654 - double-buffered xft drawing did suffer from pixel offset issues
655 when pixmap transparency was enabled.
656 - strategically add # to the url-match regexes, as we really want to
657 match common URIs not common URLs. Reported by Aaron Griffin.
658 - moved on_osc_seq to on_osc_seq_perl and added a more
659 generic osc_seq.
660 - fix a bug causing double callback invocations when perl hooks
661 were invoked recursively.
662 - the automove-background extension now properly works when the
663 pixmap gets reset with an osc sequence (sqweek).
664 - selection-pastebin did not work properly with non-latin1-characters.
665 - apply colorUL only when the text colour is the default fg
666 (patch by Wu Fengguang).
667 - removed rxvtlib.h from the tarball, it had no reason to be there
668 (spotted by Decklin Foster).
669 - fix compiling with TRANSPARENT but !XPM_BACKGROUND, as reported
670 by omatunto_.
671 - slap in a using namespace std, might help on platforms that don't
672 follow C++ closely enough.
673 - fix mailto url regex, spotted within milliseconds by Jost Krieger.
674 - applied fade_color_update_func.patch by WU Fengguang.
675 - fix a bug where (due to an optimisation in av_delete), hiding the
676 bottom-most overlay would hide two overlays.
677
6787.7 Tue Feb 21 12:32:49 CET 2006
679 - use double-buffered drawing (xft fonts only). On many driver/hardware
680 combination this actually increases xft drawing speed, at the expense
681 of more network bandwidth and slight nausea on the side of the author.
682 - readline perl extension now requires shift-click instead of a normal
683 click, and eats the click.
684 - tabbed perl extension now supports -e.
685 - disabled graphics-exposures on the main drawing GC, report any
686 refresh bugs please.
687 - improve property handling for -pe tabbed: avoid unnecessary property
688 changes (for kde's benefit) at the expense of extra round-trips,
689 improve size hint setting.
690 - modified XIM according to a patch sent by Takano Akio that sets
691 the preedit rectangle for OverTheSpot, which helps some input methods
692 to correctly position their preedit window.
693 - un-optimise the line clearing on newly scrolled-in lines a bit: the
694 former reasoning was that any fg colour on default bg looks the same
695 in empty spaces, but that's not true when reversing (e.g. selection),
696 so also check for matching fg colours. This fixes the problem where
697 selecting newly scrolled-in lines would exhibit wrong colours.
698 - fix a bug in the perl interface causing focus in events to generate
699 focus out perl events, causing bad focus effects with -pe tabbed.
700 - fix a race resulting in a crash on exiting.
701 - fix a with --disable-xft that caused xfreecolors to be called on
702 colors never allocated, resulting in aborts (reported by Paco-Paco).
703 - resources on non-initial screens weren't refetched correctly
704 (reported by Paco-Paco).
705 - fix a bug in xcopyarea pass and _disable_ it, as it seems not to be
706 working in either rxvt-unicode nor in the original rxvt.
707 - removed undocumented -exec alias for the -e option.
708
7097.6 Fri Feb 10 08:52:36 CET 2006
710 - changed interpretation of [alpha] colour prefix.
711 - +option now really sets the option to default, instead of using the
712 resource value.
713 - options that require an argument now really _require_ an argument.
714 - the tabbed extension now forwards focus and key events to the
715 relevant tab window.
716 - tab colours are now configurable and have sensible defaults
717 (initial patch by hednod).
718 - option menu is extendable, readline, selection and
719 selection-autotransform can now be disabled/enabled at runtime.
720 - forcing a configure event to tabbed subwindows with -pe tabbed, for
721 the benefit of automove-background.
722 - the automove-background extension added a wrong constant offset.
723 - force refresh of XA_RESOURCE_STRING on virtual reconnect.
724 - return exit status 2 in urxvtc when urxvtd couldn't be contacted.
725 - the linux yield hack is back, now using usleep, and enabled only on
726 __linux__.
727 - further round trip eliminations in the !XFT case by remembering
728 the colour components.
729 - plain scrollbar works better with -sr.
730 - fixed half-shadow scrollbar look.
731 - more colour rtt optimisations.
732 - properly(?) free colours on window close.
733 - reorganised the FAQ into multiple sections.
734 - add ISO646.1991-IRV to the list of supported codesets.
735 - minor libptytty update.
736
7377.5 Tue Jan 31 15:15:43 CET 2006
738 - further improvements to the careful mode detection, and font width
739 detection:
740 - fully double-wide fonts will now be correctly treated,
741 - overlap detection was improved.
742 - detect totally broken fonts (usually synthesized by xft).
743 - careful mode forced refresh sometimes clashed with blinking,
744 causing unnecessary screen redraws.
745 - better handling of XFT combining characters.
746 - enable antialiasing for some replacement fonts, as they
747 might get used for other encodings which really need it, later.
748 - remove spacing=100 from all default fonts, as this creates totally
749 weird spacing (5 times normal) with xft.
750 - removed iso10646 fallback, as xorgs iso10646 encoded fonts are mostly
751 broken.
752 - removed gnu unifont fallback, all combining characters are broken.
753 - replace named colours by xorg's rgb.txt equivalents, to
754 reduce round trip time on startup, and short-cut allocation
755 of rgb:rr/gg/bb for xft.
756 - short-cut allocation of rgb values in the xlib case
757 (patch by Paco-Paco).
758 - overhauled color management: smaller codesize, alpha support.
759 - support "rgba:rrrr/gggg/bbbb/aaaa" color specifications and
760 an "[alpha]" prefix.
761 - try to work around Xft and Xrender forcing everything to be 100%
762 transparent. Long Live Xft!
763 - do not include X11/Intrinsic.h anymore, directly use
764 Xlib/Xutil/Xresource directly.
765 - try to find a nearest matching color when color allocation fails
766 on a pseudocolor screen.
767 - SYNCCVS: compared to rxvt-cvs 2006-01-28, no relevant changes.
768 - fix version report (DA) (which was unfortunately broken).
769 - changed version number report again, now to emulate xterm closer.
770 - added the OSC sequence 702 to detect the urxvt version number.
771 - small configure updates.
772 - further RTT optimisations.
773 - backported clean-up patches for makefiles and documentation from
774 the debian package.
775 - updated doc/rxvt-unicode.spec file. It's still not maintained here,
776 but much newer than the old one.
777
7787.4 Sat Jan 28 15:26:27 CET 2006
779 - screen background wasn't always erased properly when scrolling,
780 - re-enabled clearing optimisation disabled in 7.4pre.
781 - small configure updates for libptytty.
782 - fixed version options: line output.
783 - removed stoopid debugging message left in the code.
784
7857.3 Wed Jan 25 22:47:35 CET 2006
786 - don't let iso14755 or mouse reporting get into the way of perl
787 (could lead to global grabs never being cleared).
788 - experimental OnTheSpot editing support (-pe xim-onthespot).
789 - moved Shift-Button2 paste combination to Meta-Button2.
790 - the cutchars resource will now be respected and used by the
791 selection extension.
792 - added the "remote-clipboard" extension which just runs external
793 commands to fetch and store the selection data.
794 - added -depth switch that tries to get a different visual depth
795 than the default (replaces the old PREFER_24_BIT logic).
796 - removed (unused) arabic presentation form composing sequences.
797 - be more strict when deciding that a core font glyph is too wide and
798 needs the careful rendering mode.
799 - allow more leeway for italic fonts when deciding that a character is
800 too wide and needs careful mode.
801 - redraw even more characters around characters using careful mode.
802 - made selection-pastebin fully asynchronous.
803 - reduced number of server turnarounds at startup by allocating
804 atoms only once per display.
805 - renamed on_keyboard_command to on_user_command.
806 - changed version sos (ESC [ > c) response to be more compatible with
807 xterm.
808
8097.2 Sun Jan 22 21:58:16 CET 2006
810 - bugfix: urxvt (not urxvtd) did not correctly handle multiple
811 environments necessary, which resulted in segfaults within
812 getenv (reproducible: urxvt -fn 9x15, open a menu once,
813 ctrl-shift-672c).
814 - bugfix: the selection speedup in in 7.1 unfortunately caused
815 non-ascii characters to enlarge/move the selection.
816 - bugfix: resizing sometimes leaked lines from the secondary to
817 the primary screen.
818 - bugfix: reducing window size while large amounts of text were output
819 could lead to an assertion failure.
820 - added "tabbed" extension that provides a crude tabbed terminal.
821 - added "readline" extension that allows cursor positioning
822 via mouse clicks.
823 - now it is possible to insert the value of the CLIPBOARD selection
824 with shift - mouse button 2.
825 - fixed the automove-background extension to ignore coordinates
826 in non-synthetic events.
827 - created a separate libpty for portable and secure
828 pty/tty/utmp/wtmp/lastlog handling, and include it in rxvt-unicode.
829 - the non-terminfo visual bell now works asynchronously, so
830 continuous ASCI BELs in one terminal do no longer monopolise the
831 whole urxvt[d] process.
832 - support some *BSD makes (for the time being, gnu make is a safe bet).
833 - work around bugs in FreeBSD's gcc.
834 - implemented some *BSD fixes in configure.
835 - removed support for obsolete offix dnd protocol.
836
8377.1 Thu Jan 19 20:25:34 CET 2006
838 - setuid/setgid operation is now _encouraged_: security has been
839 improved by moving privileged operations into a separate process
840 and permanently dropping privileges within the terminal. This
841 makes it possible to remove security checks from the perl code
842 and gives a much safer feeling when urxvt needs to run with
843 special privileges.
844 - perl taint checking disabled, as urxvt no longer runs setuid/setgid
845 itself.
846 - new perl extension automove-background that can be used to get
847 the same effect as pseudo-transparency with any pixmap.
848 - new perl extension example: perl/selection-pastebin, can be used to
849 e.g. upload the selection to a webserver and generate a url, or
850 similar stuff.
851 - use the scrollback buffer even when the scroll region doesn't
852 span the whole screen, as long as it starts at row 0. Helps
853 for programs displaying a status line at the bottom.
854 - selection popup now shows selection in dec/hex/oct.
855 - perl/selection: matching on unicode characters in the selection
856 code was O(n²), which equals infinity in some degenerate cases
857 :-> Matching is now done on UTF-8, which makes it almost instant.
858 - perl/selection, perl/selection-autotransform: regexes are now
859 being interpreted in the locale urxvt was started.
860 - implemented override-redirect option and enabled it on menus,
861 as kwin puts our windows behind the terminal (what a shoddy wm).
862 - fixed struct utmp check in configure for OpenBSD.
863 - complete overhaul of the pty/utmp management stuff and configure
864 (Emanuele Giaquinta=exg).
865 - add tsl/fsl and related capabilities to the terminfo description,
866 to set the window title.
867 - swap the environment in some more cases. This hopefully fixes
868 some segfaults that might be caused by xft asking for env variables
869 at the wrong time.
870 - removed src/strings.C and src/menubar.C. No menubar support
871 anymore.
872 - removed all traces of SMOOTH_REFRESH.
873 - nuked QNX support.
874 - made some fixes to xpm offset and scaling code.
875 - perl-overlays and refresh hooks were not applied in correct order.
876 - changed coordinate-system of view_start/nsaved to be top to bottom.
877 - iom extended to support listening for child exits.
878
8797.0 Fri Jan 13 14:02:18 CET 2006
880 - added sections for DISTRIBUTION MAINTAINERS and about
881 SETUID/SETGID to the FAQ.
882 - selection, searchable-scrollback, selection-popup and
883 option-popup extensions enabled by default.
884 - increased xft drawing speed for problematic fonts. The effect
885 will likely be small as 99% of the xft slowness is server-related.
886 - perl: much increased functionality, better overlays, popup support
887 and much much more.
888 - perl: urxvt::line now can set via ->t and ->r.
889 - perl: changed interpretation of --perl-ext-common and -pe.
890 - perl: finally implemented --perl-eval.
891 - perl: non-blocking anyevent support.
892 - perl: run tainted and ignore perl-eval/perl-lib if started
893 setuid/setgid.
894 - free the resource database: this plugs a massive memory leak. As a
895 side effect, it also gets rid of XGetDefault calls.
896 - free one of the cursors, fixes a small memory leak.
897 - built-in (as opposed to terminfos) visual bell was broken/too fast.
898 - applied minor cleanups by Ladislav Michnovic.
899 - applied pty handling cleanups and improvements (Emanuele Giaquinta).
900 - mark-urls launch-on-click by jepler.
901 - removed "small" resource parsing function, as it wasn't really
902 compatible, and not really small either.
903 - removed PATH_ENV and PATH file search support.
904 - removed support for locale-specific app-defaults file.
905 - fixed a bug where out-of-bounds colour sequences could lead
906 to crashes.
907 - limit colour changing to the standard 88 palette instead of all
908 colours.
909 - XTerm_Color01 sequence returned wrong results in query mode.
910 - iom.C now checks against destructed io_manager when unregistering.
911
9126.3 Wed Jan 4 22:37:10 CET 2006
913 - SECURITY FIX: on systems using openpty, permissions were
914 not correctly updated on the tty device and were left as
915 world-readable and world-writable (likely in original rxvt,
916 too), and were not restored properly. Affected are only
917 systems where non-unix ptys were used (such as most BSDs, not
918 GNU/Linux). (found, patched and debugged by Ryan Beasley).
919 - meta8 support was forcefully enabled in most configurations.
920 restored configurability of this (useless) feature (reported
921 by Mikachu).
922 - optionally embed a perl interpreter, which can be used for more
923 intelligent/customized selection support, visual feedback,
924 menus, tabs etc. See the the urxvtperl manpage, the -pe option,
925 perl*-resources and keysym resources. Not everything is there yet.
926 - try to be more clever about differing font sizes and their ascent.
927 Not guaranteed to work, but works better in most cases now.
928 - fix directory permissions on install.
929 - implemented option to disable built-in line drawing characters
930 and fall back to the font ones (patch by Martin Pohlack).
931 - disabled sched_yield support: the linux version is just too useless
932 (it schedules nice'd processes before the own one for extended
933 periods). Too bad, it could reduce system time by a factor of 5 here.
934
9356.2 Mon Jan 2 16:03:01 CET 2006
936 - implemented intensityStyles option which enables/disables bold/blink
937 selecting high intensity foreground/background colours, suggested by
938 Chuck Blake.
939 - move iso14755 character feedback box out of the way if it would
940 obscure the mouse cursor position.
941 - replaced callback.h by a fixed version from gvpe that correctly
942 returns the callback result (affects new -pty-fd semantics in urxvtc
943 on a few architectures). Reported by darix.
944 - include one trailing space in rectangular selections to indicate
945 the inserted newline (yeah, weird, but visually more pleasing).
946 - try to use sched_yield to (drastically) improve terminal data
947 transfer efficiency.
948 - further minor cleanups.
949
9506.1 Tue Dec 27 13:23:40 CET 2005
951 - update iso8859-7 table (euro and drachma round-trip et al.).
952 - fix a crash when the selection scrolls out of the scrollback
953 while the user still drags.
954 - selections that were partially scrolled out of the window were
955 not drawn correctly.
956 - lines newly scrolled in were not initialized properly, leading
957 to extremely long lines and (hopefully) some segfaults.
958 - iso14755 overlay position was wrong.
959 - iso14755 overlay now displays rendition info, too.
960 - use unicode white space class instead of hardcoded values for
961 stripping whitespace.
962 - do whitespace stripping on rectangular selections.
963 - slight cleanups in src/features.h.
964
9656.0 Sat Dec 24 13:58:56 CET 2005
966 - make it compile without SMART_RESIZE again.
967 - enable slow link support by default.
968 - fix relative cursor-positioning not respecting scrolling regions
969 (also a bug in original rxvt).
970 - initialize termios structure to zero when fetching it fails
971 (see http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=84647 for a
972 partial patch).
973 - bump max columns/rows to 10000 each.
974 - bump max savelines to 10000000.
975 - -pty-fd now passes the urxvtc fd to the urxvtd process.
976 - avoid linking against -lnsl/-lsocket/-lxpg4 unless necessary.
977 - major code cleanup (still not complete, though).
978 - implement -hold option.
979 - _major_ rewrite of internal buffer handling:
980 - re-flow on resize, lines get wrapped instead of winged.
981 - circular line buffer (substantially speeds up scrolling).
982 - slightly less code + data memory usage per terminal.
983 - slight overall speed improvements.
984 - considerably improved code clarity.
985 - partial-screen scrolls no longer end up in the scrollback
986 buffer.
987
9885.9 Sat Dec 17 21:53:17 CET 2005
989 - fix a bug in the menu code of unknown impact, found by darix.
990 - clean up signal handling to be global, not per terminal
991 (matters only for rxvtd).
992 - fix small typoe in rxvt.1 (found by Mike Fabian).
993 - don't crash when broken xft/fontconfig/freetype versions return
994 bogus data, ignore the xft font instead (experienced on suse).
995
9965.8 Tue Oct 25 22:21:45 CEST 2005
997 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: many configure options are now on by default.
998 If you want the old behaviour, try:
999 configure --disable-everything <your enable options>
1000 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: -fade changed its meaning to comply with
1001 the documentation and common sense: when upgrading, replace your
1002 percentage by 100-percentage.
1003 - integrated "fade to specific colour" patch by Martin Parm.
1004 - slow down the internal visual bell (delay by 20ms) and update
1005 the terminfo flash code to use the same delay. This is
1006 synchronous, so many bells might inhibit screen updates in other
1007 windows.
1008 - text with background==foreground colour gets displayed with default
1009 bg/fg now when in reverse video, so it can be seen when selecting.
1010 - allow koi8r* as x11 encoding name for koi8r (Nikita Danilov).
1011 - removed undocumented inheritPixmapforce option.
1012 - replaced INSTALL file.
1013
10145.7 Wed Jul 13 04:46:33 CEST 2005
1015 - implement some useful (hopefully) options for rxvtd.
1016 - separate and improved rxvtc(1) and rxvtd(1) manpages.
1017 - fix a bug that caused segfaults on startup on systems that do
1018 not support local unix connections, e.g cygwin. (btw, I didn't
1019 even know about the -rootless and -multiwindow Cygwin/X modes).
1020 - large amounts of text without control sequences or newlines
1021 could almost freeze output. This has been fixed by adding extra
1022 refreshes in these cases (also a problem in original rxvt).
1023
10245.6 Sun Jun 26 22:11:13 CEST 2005
1025 - R_SB_RXVT bitset value was 0, so rxvt scrollbar was initialised
1026 every time resulting in display errors (original rxvt also affected).
1027 Reported by Jasmin Buchert.
1028 - font names are now considered to be utf-8 encoded (xft apparently
1029 uses this convention. X Core fonts might not, but it should be rare).
1030 Affects display in iso14755 box.
1031 - rewrote the low-level xft drawing function ("xft backend" for the
1032 hipper parts of the world) to hopefully cope better with proportional
1033 chars mixed with fixed-width ones.
1034 - rxvt is now much more careful (read: slower) with potentially
1035 overlapping xft characters. It usually overshoots and redraws
1036 more than required, but that's better than undershooting and
1037 cutting pieces off of characters.
1038 - rxvt is now more restrictive in what font heights it accepts for
1039 fonts that will likely overshoot or undershoot lines.
1040 - fix a cosmetic problem with the unfocused cursor on a wide character
1041 at the end of the line (reported by Mikachu).
1042 - wide characters not fitting into the end of the line will be
1043 output in the next line (reported by Mikachu).
1044 - added doc/solaris9.patch by Ewgenij Starostin.
1045
10465.5 Sat Apr 23 22:31:36 CEST 2005
1047 - re-enabled modifier state matching as in 5.3, but implement
1048 a new builtin: keysym style that simply reverts to the built-in
1049 meaning of the given key.
1050 - use scrollcolor for next scrollbar instead of hardcoded antiquewhite
1051 (patch by Martin Edlman).
1052
10535.4 Mon Apr 18 00:33:31 CEST 2005
1054 - match modifier state exactly in custom keyboard code.
1055 this is necessary because it has no knowledge about
1056 built-in mappings and so will overwrite them. the priority-code
1057 will be re-enabled when this has changed, so watch out.
1058 - cursor blinking now depends on frills.
1059 - underline cursor mode (frills, -uc).
1060 - implement special value (*g*) for pointerBlankDelay
1061 to disable it.
1062
10635.3 Sun Mar 13 00:20:44 CET 2005
1064 - fix a bug that allowed to overflow a buffer via a long
1065 escape sequence, which is probably exploitable (fix by
1066 Rob Holland / Yoann Vandoorselaere / Gentoo Audit Team).
1067 - Custom key mappings no longer confuse mouse buttons
1068 with modifiers.
1069 - use XmbSetWMProperties instead of XSetWMProperties.
1070 - properly update WM_LOCALE.
1071 - implement _NET_WM_PING protocol.
1072 - implemented escape sequences to move the scrollback buffer view
1073 and clear the scrollback buffer.
1074
10755.2 Sun Feb 20 01:48:59 CET 2005
1076 - new option -pty-fd that makes the terminal a slave
1077 that uses an existing pty for I/O instead of starting
1078 a command.
1079 - implement enough of XEMBED to allow for correct focus.
1080 - added doc/embed-tk, an embedding example in Perl/Tk,
1081 and doc/rxvt-tabbed, a primitive tabbed shell implemented
1082 in Perl/Gtk2.
1083 - fix assertion failure ("crash") on mousewheel-scrolling
1084 when the terminal height is small, by removing the assert.
1085 (reported by Mikael Magnusson=Mikachu).
1086 - SYNCCVS. backported bugfixes done to rxvt
1087 (sourceforge bugs #1028739, #1028732), except for
1088 pts/%s fix as it seems to collide with freebsd,
1089 and sourceforge bug #954654, which is not necessary.
1090 - change terminfo file to not clobber G1 when using
1091 line-drawing characters, as this seems to mess
1092 with EUC-JP (it will clobber G0, but G0 practically
1093 needs to be US-ASCII all the time).
1094 - toggle default application keypad/cursor mode to help
1095 some apps who fail to set the correct mode.
1096 - check for WM_PROTOCOLS type in ClientMessage as to
1097 not destroy the window for other types of messages.
1098 - remove shared library (or any library) support - it is
1099 of no use currently (and -embed is a better way to embed
1100 rxvt-unicode).
1101 - get rid of the intpro files.
1102
11035.1 Tue Feb 15 17:13:27 CET 2005
1104 - fix a bug when parsing fontnames and another one
1105 for empty keymaps which could result in crashes
1106 (Kuang-che Wu).
1107 - new option: -embed (frills). somebody could write a simple
1108 tk script to make a tab'able terminal now...
1109 - only warn on X errors and _try_ to continue (frills).
1110 - add COPYING back, which got lost somehow.
1111 - after deciding that LSM is dead, remove all traces of it,
1112 along with other, similar, cleanups.
1113 - _try_ to react sensibly to some non-monotonic time changes.
1114 - don't crash in urxvtc when getcwd fails (reported by Paco-Paco).
1115 - tweak font searching algorithm a bit to be faster and more
1116 compatible with older rxvt-unicode versions when multiple fonts
1117 match (reported by Paco-Paco).
1118 - urxvtd tries to stay in "/" whenever possible.
1119
11205.0 Fri Feb 11 18:31:48 CET 2005
1121 - document a race-free hack to start urxvtd.
1122 - document all(?) environment variables used and set by rxvt.
1123 - bring xgetdefault-style resource file ordering more in line with
1124 Xt, and document it in rxvt(1).
1125 - correctly use screen-dependent resources when --enable-xgetdefault,
1126 and also fix some memory bugs (thanks to Thierry Reding for
1127 his patience and time in tracking this down).
1128 - bring own resource parsing more in line with X resource parsing,
1129 most notably, don't remove double quotes.
1130 - compile fix for freebsd (no ut_id) (Thierry Thomas).
1131 - clean up utmp and pty on X I/O errors and signals (idea
1132 by Joël Riou).
1133 - "un"document -xrm, it never really worked, was only
1134 available with --enable-xgetdefault, is not necessary
1135 and is surprisingly hard to implement.
1136 - shaved off some code segment size.
1137 - various code cleanups.
1138 - more keysym-mapping fixes.
1139
11404.9 Thu Feb 3 09:52:03 CET 2005
1141 - nuke out utmp entries completely. Should be fixed in
1142 original rxvt, too. (reported by James Michael Fultz).
1143 - resizes will now correctly refresh the displayed text when
1144 -pixmap is active.
1145 - new option/resource imFont.
1146 - document --tripleclickwords/-tcw.
1147 - select logical instead of physical lines when doing a triple-click.
1148 - reordered help listing to group similar options together.
1149 - handle SIGINT the same way as SIGTERM (reported by Joël Riou).
1150 - fix a bug introduced while applying the keyboard patch
1151 (WU Fengguang).
1152 - document all window-op sequences (rxvt.7.) and more keysym
1153 examples (rxvt.1).
1154 - removed src/test completely.
1155 - renamed keysym 'proto:'-prefix to 'command:'.
1156
11574.8 Tue Jan 18 02:23:57 CET 2005
1158 - added a patch by WU Fengguang that makes the keyboard
1159 highly configurable (e.g. locale changes, custom escape
1160 sequences, and more). See keysym resource in rxvt(1).
1161 - remove default key sequence for unknown keys again, as this
1162 can be achieved by customizing the keyboard now.
1163 - fix some freeing problems when destroying the rxvt_display,
1164 resulting in segfaults.
1165 - don't crash when the saved cursor position doesn't fit on the
1166 screen (wrong assert in original rxvt, reported by ikaro).
1167 - fix signed/unsigned bugs on wc<->mb conversions.
1168 - reset slipwheel scrolling speed when reaching the top or bottom
1169 (Mikael Magnusson).
1170 - for core fonts, use ascent + descent when a font is loaded,
1171 and PIXEL_SIZE when not. when loading a font, iterate until a
1172 font has been found that _really_ fits the height (reported and
1173 tested by Olivier Wittenberg).
1174 - set IUTF8 input flag, when defined (linux-2.6.5+).
1175 - only define _XOPEN_SOURCE on solaris.
1176 - autogenerate src/* dependency list.
1177 - fixed linespace option, which ought to work now (and is dependent
1178 on frills, not on its own configure option).
1179 - include pty.h, if available (cygwin).
1180 - removed W11 directory from dist, it wasn't used anyway.
1181 - initialize the locale much earlier.
1182 - fixed two tiny per-instance memory leaks.
1183
11844.7 Wed Dec 29 20:54:24 CET 2004
1185 - fix a bug in the event logic that could cause the terminal to be
1186 black on initial startup.
1187 - do NOT call XCloseIM, ever. This causes way to many crashes due to
1188 races in the protocol and within Xlib.
1189 - map iso-left-tab to the same sequence as shift-tab.
1190 - generate a unique escape sequence for many unknown keys, such as
1191 additional multimedia keys.
1192 - mask out high (non-unicode) bits on wide characters, to cope with
1193 implementations that store tag info in the high bits.
1194
11954.6 Thu Dec 16 07:54:23 CET 2004

21 turnarounds would be much faster, but impossible to implement. 1200 turnarounds would be much faster, but impossible to implement(?).
1201 - implement underlineColor resource when ENABLE_FRILLS.
1202 - iom left its signal pipe handle open in the child
1203 process. Fortunately not security-relevant as the pipe data gets
1204 ignored.
22 - do not use XSETROOTPMAP_ID anymore, support ESETROOT_PMAP_ID 1205 - do not use XSETROOTPMAP_ID anymore, support ESETROOT_PMAP_ID
