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).

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.
