3 chars correctly when unfocused. 3TODO: xcopyarea pass broken, fix and improve
4TODO: do font request caching, might help rxvtd on some machines 4TODO: event mechanism that replaces on_user_command with something more scalable.

10WISH: searchable backlog 11WISH: investigate -pe tabbed -g 80x25 being 23 not 24 or 25 lines
11WISH: meta-tagging of data by regex (my dream project) 12 => when setting the constraints, the wm might (correctly)
12WISH: double-click: more intelligent (urls etc.) 13 resize the outer window, which might result in a smaller window overall.

16 31
175.6 32 - fix regression that caused the double-click word selection to
33 erroneously include a tab on the left of the selected word.
34 - add support for the set cursor style (DECSCUSR) control
35 function.
36 - honour cursorColor also when the cursor style is underline.
37
389.18 Sun Mar 24 15:33:35 CET 2013
39 - fix regression that caused artifacts on resize.
40
419.17 Fri Mar 1 13:46:08 CET 2013
42 - add shade operator in background perl extension.
43 - avoid starting or ending the selection in the middle of wide
44 characters to avoid artifacts (reported by Tiago Resende).
45 - fix artifacts that may occur if the character in the cursor
46 cell has width > 1 (reported by Tiago Resende).
47 - fix regression that causes artifacts on scrolling if
48 saveLines is 0 and the window is resized (reported by Bert
49 Münnich).
50 - fix build when perl is enabled and pixbuf and transparency
51 are disabled.
52
539.16 Thu Dec 27 11:56:43 CET 2012
54 - the "so much new stuff your eyes will pop out" release.
55 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: renamed urlLauncher resource to url-launcher.
56 - fix processing of DEC private mode save sequences (patch by Patrick
57 Hemmer).
58 - perl extensions now have their own manpages, installed as urxvt-NAME(1),
59 e.g. urxvt-background(1) - see urxvt-extensions(1) for a list.
60 - fix disabling of cursor blink with the option-popup menu (based on a
61 patch by Jan Larres).
62 - the font height is not augmented anymore when lineSpace is non zero.
63 - fix "new pagemap" vs. "delete pagemap" mismatch ([] vs. non-[]),
64 as diagnosed by clang.
65 - fix height mismatch between active and inactive cursor when
66 lineSpace is non zero (patch by Stanislav Seletskiy).
67 - make it compile with LOCAL_X_IS_UNIX again (reported by
68 nickfailure@gmail.com).
69 - completely redone background pixmap support - users can now
70 specify arbitrary expressions (And programs) that calculate
71 new terminal backgrounds. see the urxvt-background manpage
72 for details.
73 - xrender is now required for background pixmap support.
74 - perl extensions can now provide commandline switches and resources
75 which show up in -help etc.
76 - iso14755 51 mode window now displays row and column.
77 - implement a -visual switch and move that and -depth to frills, also
78 warn when we can't get the requested visual.
79 - new env variable: RXVT_PERL_LIB.
80 - allocate all screen memory in one go and let the virtual memory
81 subsystem sort it out. this simplifies code, improves access
82 locality, saves a bit of ram and makes things a bit faster, too.
83 - remove support for libafterimage.
84 - update to CVS version of libev, for a whopping 11kb size decrease.
85 - do not ship yet another copy of ecb.h, use the one in libev or
86 libptytty instead.
87 - selectively mark some methods as cache-hot/cache cold, which
88 might speed up execution but definitely decreases codesize.
89 - Fix regression that prevented the scrollbar trough color
90 from being applied (reported by Derek B. Noonburg).
91 - Fix the scrollbar size for rxvt style (patch by Mark Robinson).
92
939.15 Sat Jan 21 13:36:56 CET 2012
94 - remove "using namespace std" because clang erroneously
95 thinks thats an error.
96 - finding a matching font (e.g. bold version of the base font)
97 was broken (reported by Eamon Walker).
98 - fix parsing of bg image styles. They really work now.
99 - fix blurring of bg image borders when using xrender.
100 - fix xrender blur on common xrender implementations that do
101 not behave correctly when the same pixmap is used as source
102 and destination in composite operations.
103 - fix regression that caused tabbed to compute the wrong size
104 for tabs.
105 - allow again an empty suffix in a keysym list spec (patch by
106 Sung Pae).
107 - unsupported support for sun studio's CC added.
108 - fix -C option on solaris.
109
1109.14 Wed Dec 21 18:40:33 CET 2011
111 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: the urxvtd default socket path is now
112 $HOME/.urxvt/urxvtd-<nodename>.
113 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: the "list" keysym expansion now requires
114 loading of the "keysym-list" perl extension.
115 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: A scale value of 0 in the bg image
116 geometry no longer enables tiling, so as to make it possible
117 to disable both scaling and tiling.
118 - overhaul of the bg image operations. The old operations have
119 been deprecated in favour of elementary operations and
120 styles built on top of the new operations and scale/position
121 settings. (Emanuele Giaquinta).
122 - support for libafterimage is deprecated and will be removed
123 in the next release.
124 - fix a crash caused by selection_check not properly resetting
125 out-of-bounds mark values (can happen when extending a selection
126 while scrolling up in curses programs for example).
127 - do not move the selection when scrolling up and the selection is
128 outside the scrolling region (Emanuele Giaquinta).
129 - fix display of bold bright black (reported by Ben Winslow).
130 - fix memory leak when urgentOnBell is set (patch by Nathaniel
131 Filardo).
132 - fix a redraw bug that occurs when a bg pixmap is set and the
133 wm does not honour the size hints set by urxvt. Now urxvt
134 forces the size of the terminal window to be a multiple of
135 the cell size.
136 - sanitise the argument of SD / SU sequences. Fixes a possible
137 crash when the argument is big enough, red hat bug #711137
138 (Emanuele Giaquinta).
139 - correctly split long lines when scrolling.
140 - urxvt now looks for perl extensions also in $HOME/.urxvt/ext.
141 - add bell-command perl extension to execute a command when a
142 bell event occurs (Ryan Kavanagh).
143 - add set_urgency perl binding to set/reset the urgency hint.
144 - consume button release event in matcher (exg).
145 - keyboard accessible list of recent matches in matcher
146 (Bob Farrell).
147 - properly process 'keysym' sequences in tabbed when using
148 'focus follows mouse' and the focus is on the main window
149 but not on the active terminal window (patch by Martin
150 Pohlack).
151 - support for the freedesktop startup-notification protocol (patch by
152 Michael Stapelberg).
153 - the direction of VPR and VPB commands was reversed.
154 - fix alignment of inherited root pixmap when it is a different size
155 than the root window and the terminal window is off the left or top
156 edge (Mikachu).
157 - make $self visible in "eval perl expression" popup action, also
158 handle exceptions better.
159 - fix parsing of '-e' when it occurs as an option argument, such as in
160 'urxvt -title -e' (Emanuele Giaquinta).
161
1629.12 Wed Jun 29 14:34:28 CEST 2011
163 - fix regression in processing of SelectionNotify events.
164 urxvt would fail to request a selection if the owner did not
165 support the UTF8_STRING target.
166 - fix rendering of double width chars in certain circumstances, more
167 likely to happen if urxvt is compiled with 256 colors support as
168 urxvt runs out of fonts much earlier then. Fixes gentoo bug #358151
169 (Emanuele Giaquinta).
170 - restore support for 'list' syntax in keysym resources (requested by Sung Pae).
171 - always premultiply colour values - while this increases differences between
172 core fonts and xft, it is "more correct" in practical situations.
173 - disable PTYTTY_REENTRANT option - not needed for urxvt and saves a bit of code.
174 - remove lucidatypewriter from the list of fallback fonts, it was the only
175 non-xft non-cellfont in the list anyway.
176
1779.11 Mon May 2 10:34:46 CEST 2011
178 - fix compilation on GNU/Hurd, debian bug #624736.
179 - remove 'list' syntax for keysym resources, as it serves no useful purpose.
180 If you need it, poke us and provide a use case.
181 - fix alpha channel support. Premultiply alpha in colours if the visual
182 supports an alpha channel, as xrender expects premultiplied alpha
183 (Emanuele Giaquinta).
184 - fix reply to a selection request sent by an obsolete client
185 such as syncterm (patch by Marcin Cieslak).
186 - fix crash when the window is resized and the overlay is active
187 (Emanuele Giaquinta, reported by Ryan Kavanagh).
188 - match character-wise rather than byte-wise in selection
189 extension again. perl 5.8.9+ is required to avoid extreme
190 slowdowns. Fixes debian bugs #523072, #616463.
191 - fix a possible crash if the INCR transfer process for a
192 selection property timeouts and at least one chunk is
193 received. (Emanuele Giaquinta)
194 - work around a memory corruption bug in xorg's XrmSetDatabase (apparently
195 broken since http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/xorg-commit-diffs/2004-March/000239.html).
196 - fix memory corruption bug when custom command sequences bound to keys
197 were injected into an already-full pty input buffer.
198 - gdk-pixbuf is autodetected by default and preferred over libafterimage.
199 - do not prepend a newline to the selection text when the starting line
200 of the selection is not highlighted (Emanuele Giaquinta).
201 - don't swap perl env with real env, save and restore it, just in case
202 we ever get recursive perl invocations. also saves a bit of codespace
203 with gcc.
204 - fix various memory leaks (Emanuele Giaquinta).
205 - fix typo in kIC terminfo capability, debian bug #446444.
206 - document 'thickness' resource.
207 - fix debian bug #504817, to the extent possible.
208 - try to detect byte order at compile time, saves a couple of
209 hundred bytes, if your compiler is smart enough.
210 - add support for previewing the pasted data in confirm-paste
211 (Emanuele Giaquinta).
212 - added "newlines to spaces" option in selection-popup.
213 - actually enabled solaris event ports backend (was disabled by accident).
214 - revert to 38400 baud max., mission accomplished.
215 - no longer create scary "pty_fill: PLEASE REPORT" message, instead,
216 silently drain the input (problem is well understood now).
217 - no longer swallow rob nation's own graphics mode commands.
218
2199.10 Mon Dec 13 17:43:52 CET 2010
220 - the "schmorp=north korea dickey=south korea" release.
221 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: make OSC 20 simpler and more correct
222 (Emanuele Giaquinta).
223 - if options were compiled out, this could lead to the option
224 count to be defined wrongly. This is likely behind the
225 failures with gcc 4.5.
226 - explicitly depend on fontconfig and xrender when xft support
227 is enabled. Although the public Xft api uses types from
228 both, in Xft 2.2.0 these libs are private
229 dependencies only thanks to an idiotic behaviour of
230 pkg-config that was added to workaround cases like this one.
231 Fixes linking when using GNU ld with --as-needed or GNU gold
232 (based on patch by Jan Palus).
233 - fix minor memory leaks in urxvt and urxvtd.
234 - fix regression in urxvtd that prevented options from being correctly
235 set (reported by Michal Vaner).
236 - implement xterm's horribly broken 1005 mouse reporting mode,
237 and an alternative 1015 mode that works in non-utf-8 locales
238 and has fewer limitations.
239 - fix a possible bug where mouse notifications didn't work after
240 startup for the upper left corner.
241 - implement our own pixbuf to pixmap rendering to get rid of
242 dependency on buggy gdk-pixbuf-xlib. Only truecolor visuals
243 are supported (Emanuele Giaquinta).
244 - apply tinting before shading when both operations are requested.
245 Previously they were intermixed when lightening and the result
246 was inaccurate and confusing. Note that now a black tint yields a
247 completely black image, regardless of shading (Emanuele Giaquinta).
248 - avoid spurious redraws of the bg image when bg is transparent or
249 when using 'root' mode (Emanuele Giaquinta).
250 - fix build on XFree86.
251 - dynamically number options according to compiletime requirements.
252 For the extra saved byte. Or so. Yay.
253 - start options at one, not zero. Wastes a bit per terminal. Maybe.
254 saves 50 instruction bytes. Possibly.
255
2569.09 Sat Nov 13 01:39:07 CET 2010
257 - NOTICE: this release updates terminfo/termcap.
258 - the bestest release ever.
259 - it was verified that urxvt handles µ and μ correctly.
260 - add support for blending and blurring with XRender (Emanuele Giaquinta).
261 - add support for using gdk-pixbuf as image backend (Emanuele Giaquinta).
262 - cleanup and minor fixes of the image code (Emanuele Giaquinta).
263 - new perl extension "confirm-paste" (Emanuele Giaquinta).
264 - new on_tt_paste perl hook and tt_paste perl binding (Emanuele Giaquinta).
265 - new on_bell perl hook (Emanuele Giaquinta).
266 - searchable-scrollback no longer ignores the first line
267 (Emanuele Giaquinta).
268 - properly set VSTATUS in termios for *BSD (reported by Ed Schouten).
269 - fix utmpx detection on upcoming FreeBSD 9.
270 - Use COMPOUND_TEXT encoding for WM_NAME/WM_ICON_NAME value when it
271 is not fully convertible to STRING (patch by James Cloos).
272 - fix a buffer overflow that would cause wrong key sequences to
273 be generated for numpad keys (introduced in 9.05).
274 - fix definition of sgr0 to work around limitations in luit.
275 - extend ISO 14755 5.4 mode to also print the font name of the
276 characters other than first one in the selected cell
277 (Emanuele Giaquinta).
278 - new iso14755 option to disable ISO 14755 at runtime
279 (Emanuele Giaquinta).
280 - make sure pagewise scrolling scrolls at least one line
281 (found by Mikachu).
282 - remove deprecated OSC 18 / 19 and make OSC 17 / 19 apply to
283 highlightColor / highlightTextColor (Emanuele Giaquinta).
284 - add highlightTextColor resource to change the foreground colour of
285 highlighted characters (Emanuele Giaquinta).
286 - make highlightColor apply also to selected cells with reverse video
287 but not to non selected cells with reverse video (Emanuele Giaquinta).
288 - remove colorRV resource (it was enabled only with frills off).
289 - fix numlock handling, the most longstanding bug to date (Emanuele Giaquinta).
290 - reduce the number of custom bits to 4, to make room
291 for 256 colours.
292 - add support for 256 colors (Emanuele Giaquinta, Marc Lehmann).
293 - add rxvt-unicode-256color terminfo and use it by default in 256 colors mode.
294 - update rxvt-unicode terminfo to state 7744 colour pairs to cover all
295 88*88 possible pairs.
296 - actually added macosx-clipboard-native, which should have been in
297 the 9.07 release but had been forgotten.
298 - fix hang if DECAWM is not set and there are not enough columns to insert a
299 character (Emanuele Giaquinta).
300 - cub1 ("backspace") will now respect wrapping when past the rightmost column,
301 working around a shortcoming of most tty line discipline's line editing.
302 - add support for grabbing the clipboard selection and extend
303 selection{_clear,_grab,} perl bindings to optionally work
304 on the clipboard selection (based on patch by Dana Jansens).
305 - no longer force CERASE to BACKSPACE - use the system default. affects
306 default value for VERASE only when no compatible setting for
307 backspacekey was given.
308 - use higher than 38400 baudrate setting, if detected.
309 - erase screen would clear to the wrong background when blinking
310 was enabled (which selects high intensity under some circumstances).
311 - scr_kill_char didn't touch the line.
312 - upgrade and port to libev-4.01.
313 - enabled solaris event ports and kqueue backends (if available).
314
3159.07 Wed Dec 30 07:07:18 CET 2009
316 - port to glibc-2.10 changes (strchr etc. returning const char *
317 in C++), based on patches by Milos Jakubicek and Oliver Mader.
318 - the binary search algorithm to find precomposed characters
319 was faulty, skipping some possible combinations (found by
320 Mikachu).
321 - new -letterspace option, patch by Mark H. Wilkinson.
322 - enable --mlock option for urxvt with frills on
323 systems supporting it (patch by Russell Harmon).
324 - urxvt did not compile without frills enabled
325 (analysed by Matthew Rosewarne).
326 - correctly reset the mbstate after an illegal
327 input sequence when handling terminal output (Emanuele Giaquinta).
328 - avoid redrawing wide characters with combining enabled on every
329 refresh (reported by Mikachu).
330 - fix a typo preventing the ISO-646.1991 character set from being
331 recognized (http://achurch.org/patch-pile/).
332 - better warning for x11 font encoding detection failures, also,
333 try to deduce encoding from both font properties and name
334 (adapted from http://achurch.org/patch-pile/).
335 - resizing the window with the scrollbar disabled via the escapes
336 sequence could make the window bigger again (Mikachu).
337 - make sure the alignment for fd passing control messages
338 is correct and work around some NetBSD issues (Taylor R Campbell).
339 - update to libptytty 1.3.
340 - replace macosx-clipboard by a nicer version by Reza Jelveh, and move
341 the old version to macosx-clipboard-native.
342 - document the -uc option (Emanuele Giaquinta).
343 - assertions in libev are now enabled depending on frills.
344 - update AnyEvent implementation to version 5.23 API.
345 - work around arrogant bsd idiocies again: netbsd spills the default
346 namespace with lots of symbols "for gnu/gcc compatibility" even
347 though neither of them does it, and then calls the rest of the world
348 in need of fixing. go figure.
349 - on_keyboard_command is on_user_command (patch by Michael Witten).
350 - setting the selection from perl will now reset the selection screen
351 to the current screen. the screen can be manipulated using
352 the new ->selection_screen method.
353 - implement --enable-assert configure option and get rid of DEBUG_STRICT
354 (based on patch by Emanuele Giaquinta).

356 - allow `xxx' quoting style for perl selection.
357 - upgrade to libev-3.9 prerelease.
358 - updated compose tables to unicode 5.2.0.
359
3609.06 Sat Nov 8 17:47:18 CET 2008
361 - NOTICE: this release updates terminfo/termcap.
362 - updates libev to 3.48.
363 - the aterm code now frees the as visual and image manager objects
364 when a window was closed.
365 - do not (wrongly) adjust the virtual line length inside
366 scr_insdel_chars/ERASE (Miroslav Lichvar).
367 - fix an issue where wide tab characters caused character shifts
368 when part of them was deleted (tracked down by Miroslav Lichvar).
369 - artificially enlargen the previous character at the end of a line
370 when trying to output a character that doesn't fit. looks ugly, but
371 makes copy&paste work.
372 - remove bogus "setuid/setgid security issues" from rxvt.1.pod, they
373 no longer apply.
374 - the urgency hint is now cleared on both focus in and focus out.
375 - cache urgency hint locally to avoid server rtt on every focus change.
376 - perl 5.10 needs PERL_SYS_INIT3 on hppa.
377 - ignore byte-order marks and do not treat them like combining characters.
378 - fix build issue when CURSOR_BLINK is not defined (Emanuele Giaquinta).
379 - do some µ-optimisations to the character fast path.
380 - use a less cunning, but more robust algorithm to avoid one terminal
381 monopolising the whole process by outputting a lot of text.
382 - try to work around linux first breaking sched_yield and now breaking
383 the only known workaround.
384 - new option -icon to set _NET_WM_ICON (based on patch by Frank Schmitt).
385 - initialise the as visual only on demand, instead of unconditionally,
386 to save memory in the common case of not using visual gimmicks.
387 - try to work around bugs in a few wm's that erroneously resize
388 client windows on hint property updates by temporarily
389 disabling size hints.
390 - implement the DECSTR soft reset sequence and use it for tput init,
391 and make hard RIS and DECSTR both reset more private modes, such
392 as mouse reporting.
393 - redundantly clear mouse reporting and a few other states in
394 tput init/tput reset, for older urxvts.
395 - partial/full clear screens did cause flickering and possibly pixel
396 droppings when urxvt viewed the scrollback buffer.
397 - use current rendition style in DCH sequence.
398 - the 132/80 mode switch no longer forces a screen reset.
399 - add an osc sequence to change the border colour (Emanuele Giaquinta).
400 - new perl extension "overlay-osc", for status displays and the like.
401 - fix some minor cursor drawing issues with overlays by allowing
402 overlays to modify screen flags (to disable the cursor themselves).
403 - work around programs not restoring rstyle before rmcup
404 (analysed by Miroslav Lichvar).
405
4069.05 Sun Jun 15 20:09:20 CEST 2008
407 - new option --cd/chdir to set the starting working directory.
408 - tabbed extension now starts in the "correct" working directory.
409 - work around fedora 9 providing isastream but not the relevant
410 header file for it (report by Tuncer Ayaz).
411 - upgrade libev, fixing a bug in the select backend.
412 with more than 31 file descriptors on non-linux 64 bit systems.
413 - correctly reset the multibyte state to the initial one
414 after EILSEQ (patch by Neil Booth). This fixes the
415 issue of rxvt-unicode not properly displaying text after an illegal
416 sequence on NetBSD and probably other systems.
417 - more intelligent property handling with -pe tabbed, works around
418 broken window managers (kwm et al.), saves bandwidth and should
419 help working window managers as well.
420 - made tabs moveable (based on a patch by Petr Machata).
421 - implement ESC [ 3 K as a more rational alternative to ESC [ 0 K.
422 - support relative paths for RXVT_SOCKET in urxvtd.
423 - the tabbed extension now blindly copies over all (rxvt-) resources
424 from the toplevel window to the children.
425 - better diagnostic on 0x0 window geometries.
426 - update AnyEvent API to version 3.4 and above.
427 - document the default value of :0 for DISPLAY.
428 - rename perl method XChangeWindowProperty to XChangeProperty.
429
4309.02 Tue Jan 29 11:58:36 CET 2008
431 - the "exg makes everybody happy" release.
432 - fix build with !xft.
433 - always compile in plain style scrollbar (simplifies code and looks great).
434
4359.01 Sat Jan 26 20:49:27 CET 2008
436 - be more aggressive about handling X events, this seems to be required
437 with newer xlibs (should fix the "screen stays black until event is
438 received" problem, again :)
439 - add buffered resource to control xft double-buffering.
440
4419.0 Fri Jan 25 19:34:04 CET 2008
442 - fix a crash bug where urxvtd would crash when urxvtc was called
443 with wrong arguments (I wish debian maintainers in general would
444 report bugs and their proposed fixes to the original package maintainers
445 instead of sitting on them for good measure to see if anybody notices).
446 - drawing xft compose characters was causing garbage to be drawn.
447 - correctly clear xft character background in all cases.
448 - implement bracketed paste mode (xterm private mode 2004).
449 - improve documentation on alpha channel handling, make urxvt
450 work better on servers lacking the RENDER extension when alpha
451 channels or background images are used.
452 - check for refresh after initialising to avoid staying blank
453 till the first event arrives. or so.
454 - the FORCE_UNBUFFERED_XFT feature macro works again.
455 - continuously update transparency while moving/resizing now.
456 - OSC 39/49 are deprecated and aliased to OSC 10/11.
457 - cub1 now acts as advertised (and ignores the "wrapped" state).
458 - the 132/80 mode switch now forces a height of 24, too, and
459 resets the terminal.
460 - scrollbar code cleanups.
461 - stopping children is no longer confused with children exiting.
462 - removed (undocumented) #aarrggbb format.
463 - updated to libev 3.0.
464
4658.9 Mon Dec 24 07:51:40 CET 2007
466 - fix the issue where urxvtd would not immediately close a window
467 when the command exited but only on the next X event.
468 - changed terminfo file not to use application keypad mode.
469 - fix the issue where making a selection in one urxvtd window
470 would not clear it visually in another.
471 - fix an issue of urxvt not getting background pixmap updates
472 and flickering after bg pixmap changes (reported by Mikachu).
473 - fix redraw bug in xterm scrollbar with -sr (reported by Mikachu).
474 - correctly provide dependencies for libev (µikachu).
475 - minor code reorganisations and cleanups.
476 - be more robust in case the urxvt-popup extension cannot be loaded.
477
4788.8 Sat Dec 15 19:40:39 CET 2007
479 - option -C was aliased to all unsupported options, activating
480 options that shouldn't be compiled in, leading to interesting
481 effects.
482 - updated libev, working around a bug in linux 2.4, curing the
483 symptom of urxvt not closing its window on shell exit. also
484 fixes a problem with urxvt not refreshing.
485 - the text blink callback was called even when no blinking
486 text was visible.
487 - pre-8.4 slipwheeling behaviour has been reinstated, with
488 some minor improvements.
489 - streamlined x events processing to only flush once per
490 display and not once per terminal window.
491 - quite a bit of minor code cleanups and codesize optimisations.
492
4938.7 Sun Nov 25 10:23:49 CET 2007
494 - update libev with an important bugfix that would cause crashes
495 when closing windows (when using rxvtd, and update is recommended).
496 - do not compile in the block builtin graphics with --disable-frills.
497
4988.6 Fri Nov 23 14:10:57 CET 2007
499 - upgrade libev to disable kqueue on anything but netbsd as it
500 seems to be broken everywhere else w.r.t. ptys.
501 - allow for spurious event notifications, as at least epoll and
502 especially solaris ports like to lie about them (symptoms:
503 urxvt "hangs" until there is some x11 related activity).
504 - -keysym command line options are now subjected to xlib parsing.
505 - add 'xrm' option analogous to Xt one.
506
5078.5a Wed Nov 21 10:16:33 CET 2007
508 - make it compile with --disable-transparency.
509
5108.5 Wed Nov 21 05:19:20 CET 2007
511 - expect major portability issues in this release: please test and report.
512 - converted from the veritable io manager event loop to
513 the high performance libev (http://software.schmorp.de/pkg/libev).
514 - minor tuning to the perl selection (include single words and more quoting chars).
515 - fix memory leak in pixmap code.
516 - fix a serious bug while setting the XIM destroy callback
517 on (typical) 64 bit systems.
518 - automove-background functionality re-implemented internally using :root op in pixmap
519 geometry string. For example: rxvt -pixmap "image.jpg;:root"
520 - do not link rxvtc against every lib on the planet anymore.
521 - parallel builds should work once more.
522
5238.4 Sat Oct 27 14:02:13 CEST 2007
524 - overhaul of the transparency/pixmap code (sasha).
525 - fix possible race between visual bell and poweron.
526 (reported by Martin von Gagern, gentoo?).
527 - urxvt -e no longer crashes the child.
528 - fixed some minor memleaks on incorrect usage or
529 missing DISPLAY.
530 - implement xterm 1002/1003 mouse tracking modes (exg).
531 - source code organisational cleanups (exg).
532 - updated io_manager.
533
5348.3 Wed Aug 1 20:21:31 CEST 2007
535 - new option: skipScroll/-ss, enabled by default.
536 - go with the times and expect x11 library files in /usr/lib, not
537 /usr/X11R6/lib.
538 - initial transparency improvement/afterimage support
539 patch by Sasha Vasko.
540 - add urgentOnBell resource to set the urgency hint
541 (patch by Philip Paeps).
542 - do not process focus events caused by grabs
543 (patch by Mikachu).
544 - add iso14755_52 resource to disable iso14755 5.2 (exg).
545 - add binding for backspace in iso14755 5.1 to remove the last
546 digit (exg).
547 - better option handling, support more than 30 options (exg).
548 - nuke reconf script, serves no purpose anymore.
549 - fixed and documented matcher/on_user_command processing in matcher
550 extension (tpope).
551 - compile out of the box on Solaris 10 (exg).
552 - fix MappingNotify events (reported by Stephan Walter).
553 - zero-initialise mwmhints, this seems to solve all sorts of minor
554 problems.
555
5568.2 Sat Feb 17 21:35:28 CET 2007
557 - fix make depend in src/, reported by exg.
558 - fixed typo in urxvt::GET_CUSTOM, causing the result to be wrong.
559 (patch by Sergey Vlasov).
560 - unbundled iom perl interface somewhat.
561 - scrollbar-xterm now uses the selected scrollColor instead of fg
562 (found by Aiviru).
563 - disabled linux kernel bug workaround again: disabling it gives
564 a 50% speed hit on affected machines, while enabling it gives
565 a similar speed hit to screen, which is likely the more common
566 case to work around for :/
567 - urxvt::rend2mask perl function, and utilization of it by matcher
568 (patch by Moshe Kamensky).
569 - use perl:matcher on a keysym to open most recently displayed URL.
570 - with matcher, when multiple patterns match, last wins, not first.
571 - fix make and make install with srcdir != builddir (exg).
572 - updated bundled libptytty to fix a bug where the tty would be kept
573 open (see the libptytty ChangeLog for details).
574 - delay setting the IUTF8 flag to after the tty settings have been
575 set so its value does not get lost (reported and analysed by Andrei
576 Paskevich).
577 - rip out support for obsolete sgtty.h interface.
578 - rip out support for non-POSIX termios variants.
579 - update libptytty.
580 - update iom.C, make it call ptytty::sanitise_stdfd on init.
581 - when !XFT, change rounding of colours to use a less correct formula to
582 meet user expectancies (#aaa becomes #a000a000a000 not #9f9f9f9f9f9f).
583 - change the starting offset of the pixmap set with backgroundPixmap
584 from (50,50) to (0,0) (exg).
585 - fix a typo in button_release, now meta-button2 request the value of
586 the Clipboard selection as it should (patch by Serge Koksharov).
587 - fix a bug in drawing a cell with a nonspacing char when using an xft
588 font with inheritPixmap and tintColor (exg).
589
5908.1 Thu Dec 7 22:27:25 CET 2006
591 - ｹﾘｽﾏｽﾌ゚ﾚｾ゙ﾝﾄ - zomg!!1, it's too early!!!
592 - fix the assumption that chars < 256 are single-width. Now
593 only assume this for codepoints 32 to 126 (reported by Dai.H.).
594 - $term->strwidth returned wide chars as width 1, because some jerk
595 confused min and max. Fixing this also fixes xim-onthespot.
596 Reported by Takano Akio.
597 - secondaryScroll is now enabled by default (as per the manpage),
598 reported by exg.
599 - correct the description of [percent]color rgba format in the manpage.
600 - incorporated macosx-clipboard extension by Samuel Ljungkvist.
601 - ignore (some) useless focus events (reported by mmc).
602 - updated compose table to unicode 5.0.0.
603
6048.0 Thu Nov 2 18:35:19 CET 2006
605 - combining characters cleared the area instead of creating an overlay,
606 thus losing the ability to draw combining characters properly in most
607 circumstances (reported by exg).
608 - specified fonts were incorrectly morphed to bold/italic according to the
609 basefont, even if explicitly specified (tracked down by tpope).
610 - fixed urxvt::strwidth to calculate width in the same way as screen.C.
611 - fix a crash caused by passing negative widths to overlay functions.
612 - added 'matcher' extension by tpope, replacing the mark-urls extension.
613 - improve url regex to match anything www.* (tpope).
614 - fixed bug with outline cursor color being wrong after xft fonts.
615 - update to libptytty-1.0.
616 - give proper diagnostic when RXVT_SOCKET is too long instead of
617 corrupting the stack (patch by exg).
618 - display current terminal locale in option menu.
619 - urxvtd no longer crashes when the client sends an inaccessible
620 working directory (reported by Roland Baer, possibly fixes gentoo
621 bug #143985).
622 - fixed many minor issues reported by Roland Baer.
623 - Leonid Khramov spotted a minor glitch in rxvtfont.C that
624 should not have any consequences, but was buggy nonetheless.
625 - manpage fix by exg.
626
6277.9 Mon Aug 7 18:16:07 CEST 2006
628 - fix the crashing bug people encountered with 7.8 + urxvtd + perl
629 + transparency. Ought to fix debian bug #380348.
630 - fix urxvtc.1.pod: it actually claimed -pty-fd would not work. But
631 it does! :->
632 - rxvt_fatal() in case the locale string is too long for our static buffer.
633 - fixed many, many, typos in the manpages (patch supplied by ves).
634
6357.8 Mon Jul 17 21:00:46 CEST 2006
636 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: this version will always read ~/.Xdefaults,
637 earlier versions only read it if display-resources (usually from
638 .Xresources) are not set. This avoids the #1 FAQ ("why isn't my
639 resource used") and seems to be logical behaviour, too. .Xdefaults
640 resources have a lower priority than display-specific resources.
641 - add "kuake" perl extension that does a similar thing to the kuake
642 terminal emulator (see man urxvtperl).
643 - use less "correct" color scaling that is compatible with libX11 and
644 Xft (avoids off-by-one colors resulting in striped backgrounds).
645 - the "depth" resource is now respected.
646 - preset the searchable-scrollback pattern with "(?i)" to default search
647 to case-insensitivity. Will automatically be cleared when typing an
648 uppercase character.
649 - add FORCE_UNBUFFERED_XFT define to features.h.
650 - re-enabled highlightcolor support with --enable-frills, based on
651 a patch by Martin Stubenschrott.
652 - double-buffered xft drawing did suffer from pixel offset issues
653 when pixmap transparency was enabled.
654 - strategically add # to the url-match regexes, as we really want to
655 match common URIs not common URLs. Reported by Aaron Griffin.
656 - moved on_osc_seq to on_osc_seq_perl and added a more
657 generic osc_seq.
658 - fix a bug causing double callback invocations when perl hooks
659 were invoked recursively.
660 - the automove-background extension now properly works when the
661 pixmap gets reset with an osc sequence (sqweek).
662 - selection-pastebin did not work properly with non-latin1-characters.
663 - apply colorUL only when the text colour is the default fg
664 (patch by Wu Fengguang).
665 - removed rxvtlib.h from the tarball, it had no reason to be there
666 (spotted by Decklin Foster).
667 - fix compiling with TRANSPARENT but !XPM_BACKGROUND, as reported
668 by omatunto_.
669 - slap in a using namespace std, might help on platforms that don't
670 follow C++ closely enough.
671 - fix mailto url regex, spotted within milliseconds by Jost Krieger.
672 - applied fade_color_update_func.patch by WU Fengguang.
673 - fix a bug where (due to an optimisation in av_delete), hiding the
674 bottom-most overlay would hide two overlays.
675
6767.7 Tue Feb 21 12:32:49 CET 2006
677 - use double-buffered drawing (xft fonts only). On many driver/hardware
678 combination this actually increases xft drawing speed, at the expense
679 of more network bandwidth and slight nausea on the side of the author.
680 - readline perl extension now requires shift-click instead of a normal
681 click, and eats the click.
682 - tabbed perl extension now supports -e.
683 - disabled graphics-exposures on the main drawing GC, report any
684 refresh bugs please.
685 - improve property handling for -pe tabbed: avoid unnecessary property
686 changes (for kde's benefit) at the expense of extra round-trips,
687 improve size hint setting.
688 - modified XIM according to a patch sent by Takano Akio that sets
689 the preedit rectangle for OverTheSpot, which helps some input methods
690 to correctly position their preedit window.
691 - un-optimise the line clearing on newly scrolled-in lines a bit: the
692 former reasoning was that any fg colour on default bg looks the same
693 in empty spaces, but that's not true when reversing (e.g. selection),
694 so also check for matching fg colours. This fixes the problem where
695 selecting newly scrolled-in lines would exhibit wrong colours.
696 - fix a bug in the perl interface causing focus in events to generate
697 focus out perl events, causing bad focus effects with -pe tabbed.
698 - fix a race resulting in a crash on exiting.
699 - fix a with --disable-xft that caused xfreecolors to be called on
700 colors never allocated, resulting in aborts (reported by Paco-Paco).
701 - resources on non-initial screens weren't refetched correctly
702 (reported by Paco-Paco).
703 - fix a bug in xcopyarea pass and _disable_ it, as it seems not to be
704 working in either rxvt-unicode nor in the original rxvt.
705 - removed undocumented -exec alias for the -e option.
706
7077.6 Fri Feb 10 08:52:36 CET 2006
708 - changed interpretation of [alpha] colour prefix.
709 - +option now really sets the option to default, instead of using the
710 resource value.
711 - options that require an argument now really _require_ an argument.
712 - the tabbed extension now forwards focus and key events to the
713 relevant tab window.
714 - tab colours are now configurable and have sensible defaults
715 (initial patch by hednod).
716 - option menu is extendable, readline, selection and
717 selection-autotransform can now be disabled/enabled at runtime.
718 - forcing a configure event to tabbed subwindows with -pe tabbed, for
719 the benefit of automove-background.
720 - the automove-background extension added a wrong constant offset.
721 - force refresh of XA_RESOURCE_STRING on virtual reconnect.
722 - return exit status 2 in urxvtc when urxvtd couldn't be contacted.
723 - the linux yield hack is back, now using usleep, and enabled only on
724 __linux__.
725 - further round trip eliminations in the !XFT case by remembering
726 the colour components.
727 - plain scrollbar works better with -sr.
728 - fixed half-shadow scrollbar look.
729 - more colour rtt optimisations.
730 - properly(?) free colours on window close.
731 - reorganised the FAQ into multiple sections.
732 - add ISO646.1991-IRV to the list of supported codesets.
733 - minor libptytty update.
734
7357.5 Tue Jan 31 15:15:43 CET 2006
736 - further improvements to the careful mode detection, and font width
737 detection:
738 - fully double-wide fonts will now be correctly treated,
739 - overlap detection was improved.
740 - detect totally broken fonts (usually synthesized by xft).
741 - careful mode forced refresh sometimes clashed with blinking,
742 causing unnecessary screen redraws.
743 - better handling of XFT combining characters.
744 - enable antialiasing for some replacement fonts, as they
745 might get used for other encodings which really need it, later.
746 - remove spacing=100 from all default fonts, as this creates totally
747 weird spacing (5 times normal) with xft.
748 - removed iso10646 fallback, as xorgs iso10646 encoded fonts are mostly
749 broken.
750 - removed gnu unifont fallback, all combining characters are broken.
751 - replace named colours by xorg's rgb.txt equivalents, to
752 reduce round trip time on startup, and short-cut allocation
753 of rgb:rr/gg/bb for xft.
754 - short-cut allocation of rgb values in the xlib case
755 (patch by Paco-Paco).
756 - overhauled color management: smaller codesize, alpha support.
757 - support "rgba:rrrr/gggg/bbbb/aaaa" color specifications and
758 an "[alpha]" prefix.
759 - try to work around Xft and Xrender forcing everything to be 100%
760 transparent. Long Live Xft!
761 - do not include X11/Intrinsic.h anymore, directly use
762 Xlib/Xutil/Xresource directly.
763 - try to find a nearest matching color when color allocation fails
764 on a pseudocolor screen.
765 - SYNCCVS: compared to rxvt-cvs 2006-01-28, no relevant changes.
766 - fix version report (DA) (which was unfortunately broken).
767 - changed version number report again, now to emulate xterm closer.
768 - added the OSC sequence 702 to detect the urxvt version number.
769 - small configure updates.
770 - further RTT optimisations.
771 - backported clean-up patches for makefiles and documentation from
772 the debian package.
773 - updated doc/rxvt-unicode.spec file. It's still not maintained here,
774 but much newer than the old one.
775
7767.4 Sat Jan 28 15:26:27 CET 2006
777 - screen background wasn't always erased properly when scrolling,
778 - re-enabled clearing optimisation disabled in 7.4pre.
779 - small configure updates for libptytty.
780 - fixed version options: line output.
781 - removed stoopid debugging message left in the code.
782
7837.3 Wed Jan 25 22:47:35 CET 2006
784 - don't let iso14755 or mouse reporting get into the way of perl
785 (could lead to global grabs never being cleared).
786 - experimental OnTheSpot editing support (-pe xim-onthespot).
787 - moved Shift-Button2 paste combination to Meta-Button2.
788 - the cutchars resource will now be respected and used by the
789 selection extension.
790 - added the "remote-clipboard" extension which just runs external
791 commands to fetch and store the selection data.
792 - added -depth switch that tries to get a different visual depth
793 than the default (replaces the old PREFER_24_BIT logic).
794 - removed (unused) arabic presentation form composing sequences.
795 - be more strict when deciding that a core font glyph is too wide and
796 needs the careful rendering mode.
797 - allow more leeway for italic fonts when deciding that a character is
798 too wide and needs careful mode.
799 - redraw even more characters around characters using careful mode.
800 - made selection-pastebin fully asynchronous.
801 - reduced number of server turnarounds at startup by allocating
802 atoms only once per display.
803 - renamed on_keyboard_command to on_user_command.
804 - changed version sos (ESC [ > c) response to be more compatible with
805 xterm.
806
8077.2 Sun Jan 22 21:58:16 CET 2006
808 - bugfix: urxvt (not urxvtd) did not correctly handle multiple
809 environments necessary, which resulted in segfaults within
810 getenv (reproducible: urxvt -fn 9x15, open a menu once,
811 ctrl-shift-672c).
812 - bugfix: the selection speedup in in 7.1 unfortunately caused
813 non-ascii characters to enlarge/move the selection.
814 - bugfix: resizing sometimes leaked lines from the secondary to
815 the primary screen.
816 - bugfix: reducing window size while large amounts of text were output
817 could lead to an assertion failure.
818 - added "tabbed" extension that provides a crude tabbed terminal.
819 - added "readline" extension that allows cursor positioning
820 via mouse clicks.
821 - now it is possible to insert the value of the CLIPBOARD selection
822 with shift - mouse button 2.
823 - fixed the automove-background extension to ignore coordinates
824 in non-synthetic events.
825 - created a separate libpty for portable and secure
826 pty/tty/utmp/wtmp/lastlog handling, and include it in rxvt-unicode.
827 - the non-terminfo visual bell now works asynchronously, so
828 continuous ASCI BELs in one terminal do no longer monopolise the
829 whole urxvt[d] process.
830 - support some *BSD makes (for the time being, gnu make is a safe bet).
831 - work around bugs in FreeBSD's gcc.
832 - implemented some *BSD fixes in configure.
833 - removed support for obsolete offix dnd protocol.
834
8357.1 Thu Jan 19 20:25:34 CET 2006
836 - setuid/setgid operation is now _encouraged_: security has been
837 improved by moving privileged operations into a separate process
838 and permanently dropping privileges within the terminal. This
839 makes it possible to remove security checks from the perl code
840 and gives a much safer feeling when urxvt needs to run with
841 special privileges.
842 - perl taint checking disabled, as urxvt no longer runs setuid/setgid
843 itself.
844 - new perl extension automove-background that can be used to get
845 the same effect as pseudo-transparency with any pixmap.
846 - new perl extension example: perl/selection-pastebin, can be used to
847 e.g. upload the selection to a webserver and generate a url, or
848 similar stuff.
849 - use the scrollback buffer even when the scroll region doesn't
850 span the whole screen, as long as it starts at row 0. Helps
851 for programs displaying a status line at the bottom.
852 - selection popup now shows selection in dec/hex/oct.
853 - perl/selection: matching on unicode characters in the selection
854 code was O(n²), which equals infinity in some degenerate cases
855 :-> Matching is now done on UTF-8, which makes it almost instant.
856 - perl/selection, perl/selection-autotransform: regexes are now
857 being interpreted in the locale urxvt was started.
858 - implemented override-redirect option and enabled it on menus,
859 as kwin puts our windows behind the terminal (what a shoddy wm).
860 - fixed struct utmp check in configure for OpenBSD.
861 - complete overhaul of the pty/utmp management stuff and configure
862 (Emanuele Giaquinta=exg).
863 - add tsl/fsl and related capabilities to the terminfo description,
864 to set the window title.
865 - swap the environment in some more cases. This hopefully fixes
866 some segfaults that might be caused by xft asking for env variables
867 at the wrong time.
868 - removed src/strings.C and src/menubar.C. No menubar support
869 anymore.
870 - removed all traces of SMOOTH_REFRESH.
871 - nuked QNX support.
872 - made some fixes to xpm offset and scaling code.
873 - perl-overlays and refresh hooks were not applied in correct order.
874 - changed coordinate-system of view_start/nsaved to be top to bottom.
875 - iom extended to support listening for child exits.
876
8777.0 Fri Jan 13 14:02:18 CET 2006
878 - added sections for DISTRIBUTION MAINTAINERS and about
879 SETUID/SETGID to the FAQ.
880 - selection, searchable-scrollback, selection-popup and
881 option-popup extensions enabled by default.
882 - increased xft drawing speed for problematic fonts. The effect
883 will likely be small as 99% of the xft slowness is server-related.
884 - perl: much increased functionality, better overlays, popup support
885 and much much more.
886 - perl: urxvt::line now can set via ->t and ->r.
887 - perl: changed interpretation of --perl-ext-common and -pe.
888 - perl: finally implemented --perl-eval.
889 - perl: non-blocking anyevent support.
890 - perl: run tainted and ignore perl-eval/perl-lib if started
891 setuid/setgid.
892 - free the resource database: this plugs a massive memory leak. As a
893 side effect, it also gets rid of XGetDefault calls.
894 - free one of the cursors, fixes a small memory leak.
895 - built-in (as opposed to terminfos) visual bell was broken/too fast.
896 - applied minor cleanups by Ladislav Michnovic.
897 - applied pty handling cleanups and improvements (Emanuele Giaquinta).
898 - mark-urls launch-on-click by jepler.
899 - removed "small" resource parsing function, as it wasn't really
900 compatible, and not really small either.
901 - removed PATH_ENV and PATH file search support.
902 - removed support for locale-specific app-defaults file.
903 - fixed a bug where out-of-bounds colour sequences could lead
904 to crashes.
905 - limit colour changing to the standard 88 palette instead of all
906 colours.
907 - XTerm_Color01 sequence returned wrong results in query mode.
908 - iom.C now checks against destructed io_manager when unregistering.
909
9106.3 Wed Jan 4 22:37:10 CET 2006
911 - SECURITY FIX: on systems using openpty, permissions were
912 not correctly updated on the tty device and were left as
913 world-readable and world-writable (likely in original rxvt,
914 too), and were not restored properly. Affected are only
915 systems where non-unix ptys were used (such as most BSDs, not
916 GNU/Linux). (found, patched and debugged by Ryan Beasley).
917 - meta8 support was forcefully enabled in most configurations.
918 restored configurability of this (useless) feature (reported
919 by Mikachu).
920 - optionally embed a perl interpreter, which can be used for more
921 intelligent/customized selection support, visual feedback,
922 menus, tabs etc. See the the urxvtperl manpage, the -pe option,
923 perl*-resources and keysym resources. Not everything is there yet.
924 - try to be more clever about differing font sizes and their ascent.
925 Not guaranteed to work, but works better in most cases now.
926 - fix directory permissions on install.
927 - implemented option to disable built-in line drawing characters
928 and fall back to the font ones (patch by Martin Pohlack).
929 - disabled sched_yield support: the linux version is just too useless
930 (it schedules nice'd processes before the own one for extended
931 periods). Too bad, it could reduce system time by a factor of 5 here.
932
9336.2 Mon Jan 2 16:03:01 CET 2006
934 - implemented intensityStyles option which enables/disables bold/blink
935 selecting high intensity foreground/background colours, suggested by
936 Chuck Blake.
937 - move iso14755 character feedback box out of the way if it would
938 obscure the mouse cursor position.
939 - replaced callback.h by a fixed version from gvpe that correctly
940 returns the callback result (affects new -pty-fd semantics in urxvtc
941 on a few architectures). Reported by darix.
942 - include one trailing space in rectangular selections to indicate
943 the inserted newline (yeah, weird, but visually more pleasing).
944 - try to use sched_yield to (drastically) improve terminal data
945 transfer efficiency.
946 - further minor cleanups.
947
9486.1 Tue Dec 27 13:23:40 CET 2005
949 - update iso8859-7 table (euro and drachma round-trip et al.).
950 - fix a crash when the selection scrolls out of the scrollback
951 while the user still drags.
952 - selections that were partially scrolled out of the window were
953 not drawn correctly.
954 - lines newly scrolled in were not initialized properly, leading
955 to extremely long lines and (hopefully) some segfaults.
956 - iso14755 overlay position was wrong.
957 - iso14755 overlay now displays rendition info, too.
958 - use unicode white space class instead of hardcoded values for
959 stripping whitespace.
960 - do whitespace stripping on rectangular selections.
961 - slight cleanups in src/features.h.
962
9636.0 Sat Dec 24 13:58:56 CET 2005
964 - make it compile without SMART_RESIZE again.
965 - enable slow link support by default.
966 - fix relative cursor-positioning not respecting scrolling regions
967 (also a bug in original rxvt).
968 - initialize termios structure to zero when fetching it fails
969 (see http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=84647 for a
970 partial patch).
971 - bump max columns/rows to 10000 each.
972 - bump max savelines to 10000000.
973 - -pty-fd now passes the urxvtc fd to the urxvtd process.
974 - avoid linking against -lnsl/-lsocket/-lxpg4 unless necessary.
975 - major code cleanup (still not complete, though).
976 - implement -hold option.
977 - _major_ rewrite of internal buffer handling:
978 - re-flow on resize, lines get wrapped instead of winged.
979 - circular line buffer (substantially speeds up scrolling).
980 - slightly less code + data memory usage per terminal.
981 - slight overall speed improvements.
982 - considerably improved code clarity.
983 - partial-screen scrolls no longer end up in the scrollback
984 buffer.
985
9865.9 Sat Dec 17 21:53:17 CET 2005
987 - fix a bug in the menu code of unknown impact, found by darix.
988 - clean up signal handling to be global, not per terminal
989 (matters only for rxvtd).
990 - fix small typoe in rxvt.1 (found by Mike Fabian).
991 - don't crash when broken xft/fontconfig/freetype versions return
992 bogus data, ignore the xft font instead (experienced on suse).
993
9945.8 Tue Oct 25 22:21:45 CEST 2005
995 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: many configure options are now on by default.
996 If you want the old behaviour, try:
997 configure --disable-everything <your enable options>
998 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: -fade changed its meaning to comply with
999 the documentation and common sense: when upgrading, replace your
1000 percentage by 100-percentage.
1001 - integrated "fade to specific colour" patch by Martin Parm.
1002 - slow down the internal visual bell (delay by 20ms) and update
1003 the terminfo flash code to use the same delay. This is
1004 synchronous, so many bells might inhibit screen updates in other
1005 windows.
1006 - text with background==foreground colour gets displayed with default
1007 bg/fg now when in reverse video, so it can be seen when selecting.
1008 - allow koi8r* as x11 encoding name for koi8r (Nikita Danilov).
1009 - removed undocumented inheritPixmapforce option.
1010 - replaced INSTALL file.
1011
10125.7 Wed Jul 13 04:46:33 CEST 2005
1013 - implement some useful (hopefully) options for rxvtd.
1014 - separate and improved rxvtc(1) and rxvtd(1) manpages.
1015 - fix a bug that caused segfaults on startup on systems that do
1016 not support local unix connections, e.g cygwin. (btw, I didn't
1017 even know about the -rootless and -multiwindow Cygwin/X modes).
1018 - large amounts of text without control sequences or newlines
1019 could almost freeze output. This has been fixed by adding extra
1020 refreshes in these cases (also a problem in original rxvt).
