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).

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).

4419.0 Fri Jan 25 19:34:04 CET 2008

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
