37 - work around perl 5.18.0 breakage in tabbed extension
38 (reported by Karol Blazewicz).
39 - fix regression that caused the double-click word selection to
40 erroneously include a tab on the left of the selected word.
41 - add support for the set cursor style (DECSCUSR) control
42 function.
43 - honour cursorColor also when the cursor style is underline.
44
459.18 Sun Mar 24 15:33:35 CET 2013
46 - fix regression that caused artifacts on resize.
47
489.17 Fri Mar 1 13:46:08 CET 2013
49 - add shade operator in background perl extension.
50 - avoid starting or ending the selection in the middle of wide
51 characters to avoid artifacts (reported by Tiago Resende).
52 - fix artifacts that may occur if the character in the cursor
53 cell has width > 1 (reported by Tiago Resende).
54 - fix regression that causes artifacts on scrolling if
55 saveLines is 0 and the window is resized (reported by Bert
56 Münnich).
57 - fix build when perl is enabled and pixbuf and transparency
58 are disabled.
59
609.16 Thu Dec 27 11:56:43 CET 2012
61 - the "so much new stuff your eyes will pop out" release.
62 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: renamed urlLauncher resource to url-launcher.
63 - fix processing of DEC private mode save sequences (patch by Patrick
64 Hemmer).
65 - perl extensions now have their own manpages, installed as urxvt-NAME(1),
66 e.g. urxvt-background(1) - see urxvt-extensions(1) for a list.
67 - fix disabling of cursor blink with the option-popup menu (based on a
68 patch by Jan Larres).
69 - the font height is not augmented anymore when lineSpace is non zero.
70 - fix "new pagemap" vs. "delete pagemap" mismatch ([] vs. non-[]),
71 as diagnosed by clang.
72 - fix height mismatch between active and inactive cursor when
73 lineSpace is non zero (patch by Stanislav Seletskiy).
74 - make it compile with LOCAL_X_IS_UNIX again (reported by
75 nickfailure@gmail.com).
76 - completely redone background pixmap support - users can now
77 specify arbitrary expressions (And programs) that calculate
78 new terminal backgrounds. see the urxvt-background manpage
79 for details.
80 - xrender is now required for background pixmap support.
81 - perl extensions can now provide commandline switches and resources
82 which show up in -help etc.
83 - iso14755 51 mode window now displays row and column.
84 - implement a -visual switch and move that and -depth to frills, also
85 warn when we can't get the requested visual.
86 - new env variable: RXVT_PERL_LIB.
87 - allocate all screen memory in one go and let the virtual memory
88 subsystem sort it out. this simplifies code, improves access
89 locality, saves a bit of ram and makes things a bit faster, too.
90 - remove support for libafterimage.
91 - update to CVS version of libev, for a whopping 11kb size decrease.
92 - do not ship yet another copy of ecb.h, use the one in libev or
93 libptytty instead.
94 - selectively mark some methods as cache-hot/cache cold, which
95 might speed up execution but definitely decreases codesize.
96 - Fix regression that prevented the scrollbar trough color
97 from being applied (reported by Derek B. Noonburg).
98 - Fix the scrollbar size for rxvt style (patch by Mark Robinson).
99
1009.15 Sat Jan 21 13:36:56 CET 2012
101 - remove "using namespace std" because clang erroneously
102 thinks thats an error.
103 - finding a matching font (e.g. bold version of the base font)
104 was broken (reported by Eamon Walker).
105 - fix parsing of bg image styles. They really work now.
106 - fix blurring of bg image borders when using xrender.
107 - fix xrender blur on common xrender implementations that do
108 not behave correctly when the same pixmap is used as source
109 and destination in composite operations.
110 - fix regression that caused tabbed to compute the wrong size
111 for tabs.
112 - allow again an empty suffix in a keysym list spec (patch by
113 Sung Pae).
114 - unsupported support for sun studio's CC added.
115 - fix -C option on solaris.
116
1179.14 Wed Dec 21 18:40:33 CET 2011
118 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: the urxvtd default socket path is now
119 $HOME/.urxvt/urxvtd-<nodename>.
120 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: the "list" keysym expansion now requires
121 loading of the "keysym-list" perl extension.
122 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: A scale value of 0 in the bg image
123 geometry no longer enables tiling, so as to make it possible
124 to disable both scaling and tiling.
125 - overhaul of the bg image operations. The old operations have
126 been deprecated in favour of elementary operations and
127 styles built on top of the new operations and scale/position
128 settings. (Emanuele Giaquinta).
129 - support for libafterimage is deprecated and will be removed
130 in the next release.
131 - fix a crash caused by selection_check not properly resetting
132 out-of-bounds mark values (can happen when extending a selection
133 while scrolling up in curses programs for example).
134 - do not move the selection when scrolling up and the selection is
135 outside the scrolling region (Emanuele Giaquinta).
136 - fix display of bold bright black (reported by Ben Winslow).
137 - fix memory leak when urgentOnBell is set (patch by Nathaniel
138 Filardo).
139 - fix a redraw bug that occurs when a bg pixmap is set and the
140 wm does not honour the size hints set by urxvt. Now urxvt
141 forces the size of the terminal window to be a multiple of
142 the cell size.
143 - sanitise the argument of SD / SU sequences. Fixes a possible
144 crash when the argument is big enough, red hat bug #711137
145 (Emanuele Giaquinta).
146 - correctly split long lines when scrolling.
147 - urxvt now looks for perl extensions also in $HOME/.urxvt/ext.
148 - add bell-command perl extension to execute a command when a
149 bell event occurs (Ryan Kavanagh).
150 - add set_urgency perl binding to set/reset the urgency hint.
151 - consume button release event in matcher (exg).
152 - keyboard accessible list of recent matches in matcher
153 (Bob Farrell).
154 - properly process 'keysym' sequences in tabbed when using
155 'focus follows mouse' and the focus is on the main window
156 but not on the active terminal window (patch by Martin
157 Pohlack).
158 - support for the freedesktop startup-notification protocol (patch by
159 Michael Stapelberg).
160 - the direction of VPR and VPB commands was reversed.
161 - fix alignment of inherited root pixmap when it is a different size
162 than the root window and the terminal window is off the left or top
163 edge (Mikachu).
164 - make $self visible in "eval perl expression" popup action, also
165 handle exceptions better.
166 - fix parsing of '-e' when it occurs as an option argument, such as in
167 'urxvt -title -e' (Emanuele Giaquinta).
168
1699.12 Wed Jun 29 14:34:28 CEST 2011
170 - fix regression in processing of SelectionNotify events.
171 urxvt would fail to request a selection if the owner did not
172 support the UTF8_STRING target.
173 - fix rendering of double width chars in certain circumstances, more
174 likely to happen if urxvt is compiled with 256 colors support as
175 urxvt runs out of fonts much earlier then. Fixes gentoo bug #358151
176 (Emanuele Giaquinta).
177 - restore support for 'list' syntax in keysym resources (requested by Sung Pae).
178 - always premultiply colour values - while this increases differences between
179 core fonts and xft, it is "more correct" in practical situations.
180 - disable PTYTTY_REENTRANT option - not needed for urxvt and saves a bit of code.
181 - remove lucidatypewriter from the list of fallback fonts, it was the only
182 non-xft non-cellfont in the list anyway.
183
1849.11 Mon May 2 10:34:46 CEST 2011
185 - fix compilation on GNU/Hurd, debian bug #624736.
186 - remove 'list' syntax for keysym resources, as it serves no useful purpose.
187 If you need it, poke us and provide a use case.
188 - fix alpha channel support. Premultiply alpha in colours if the visual
189 supports an alpha channel, as xrender expects premultiplied alpha
190 (Emanuele Giaquinta).
191 - fix reply to a selection request sent by an obsolete client
192 such as syncterm (patch by Marcin Cieslak).
193 - fix crash when the window is resized and the overlay is active
194 (Emanuele Giaquinta, reported by Ryan Kavanagh).
195 - match character-wise rather than byte-wise in selection
196 extension again. perl 5.8.9+ is required to avoid extreme
197 slowdowns. Fixes debian bugs #523072, #616463.
198 - fix a possible crash if the INCR transfer process for a
199 selection property timeouts and at least one chunk is
200 received. (Emanuele Giaquinta)
201 - work around a memory corruption bug in xorg's XrmSetDatabase (apparently
202 broken since http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/xorg-commit-diffs/2004-March/000239.html).
203 - fix memory corruption bug when custom command sequences bound to keys
204 were injected into an already-full pty input buffer.
205 - gdk-pixbuf is autodetected by default and preferred over libafterimage.
206 - do not prepend a newline to the selection text when the starting line
207 of the selection is not highlighted (Emanuele Giaquinta).
208 - don't swap perl env with real env, save and restore it, just in case
209 we ever get recursive perl invocations. also saves a bit of codespace
210 with gcc.
211 - fix various memory leaks (Emanuele Giaquinta).
212 - fix typo in kIC terminfo capability, debian bug #446444.
213 - document 'thickness' resource.
214 - fix debian bug #504817, to the extent possible.
215 - try to detect byte order at compile time, saves a couple of
216 hundred bytes, if your compiler is smart enough.
217 - add support for previewing the pasted data in confirm-paste
218 (Emanuele Giaquinta).
219 - added "newlines to spaces" option in selection-popup.
220 - actually enabled solaris event ports backend (was disabled by accident).
221 - revert to 38400 baud max., mission accomplished.
222 - no longer create scary "pty_fill: PLEASE REPORT" message, instead,
223 silently drain the input (problem is well understood now).
224 - no longer swallow rob nation's own graphics mode commands.
225
2269.10 Mon Dec 13 17:43:52 CET 2010
227 - the "schmorp=north korea dickey=south korea" release.
228 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: make OSC 20 simpler and more correct
229 (Emanuele Giaquinta).
230 - if options were compiled out, this could lead to the option
231 count to be defined wrongly. This is likely behind the
232 failures with gcc 4.5.
233 - explicitly depend on fontconfig and xrender when xft support
234 is enabled. Although the public Xft api uses types from
235 both, in Xft 2.2.0 these libs are private
236 dependencies only thanks to an idiotic behaviour of
237 pkg-config that was added to workaround cases like this one.
238 Fixes linking when using GNU ld with --as-needed or GNU gold
239 (based on patch by Jan Palus).
240 - fix minor memory leaks in urxvt and urxvtd.
241 - fix regression in urxvtd that prevented options from being correctly
242 set (reported by Michal Vaner).
243 - implement xterm's horribly broken 1005 mouse reporting mode,
244 and an alternative 1015 mode that works in non-utf-8 locales
245 and has fewer limitations.
246 - fix a possible bug where mouse notifications didn't work after
247 startup for the upper left corner.
248 - implement our own pixbuf to pixmap rendering to get rid of
249 dependency on buggy gdk-pixbuf-xlib. Only truecolor visuals
250 are supported (Emanuele Giaquinta).
251 - apply tinting before shading when both operations are requested.
252 Previously they were intermixed when lightening and the result
253 was inaccurate and confusing. Note that now a black tint yields a
254 completely black image, regardless of shading (Emanuele Giaquinta).
255 - avoid spurious redraws of the bg image when bg is transparent or
256 when using 'root' mode (Emanuele Giaquinta).
257 - fix build on XFree86.
258 - dynamically number options according to compiletime requirements.
259 For the extra saved byte. Or so. Yay.
260 - start options at one, not zero. Wastes a bit per terminal. Maybe.
261 saves 50 instruction bytes. Possibly.
262
2639.09 Sat Nov 13 01:39:07 CET 2010
264 - NOTICE: this release updates terminfo/termcap.
265 - the bestest release ever.

268 - add support for using gdk-pixbuf as image backend (Emanuele Giaquinta).
269 - cleanup and minor fixes of the image code (Emanuele Giaquinta).
270 - new perl extension "confirm-paste" (Emanuele Giaquinta).
271 - new on_tt_paste perl hook and tt_paste perl binding (Emanuele Giaquinta).
272 - new on_bell perl hook (Emanuele Giaquinta).
273 - searchable-scrollback no longer ignores the first line
274 (Emanuele Giaquinta).
275 - properly set VSTATUS in termios for *BSD (reported by Ed Schouten).
276 - fix utmpx detection on upcoming FreeBSD 9.
277 - Use COMPOUND_TEXT encoding for WM_NAME/WM_ICON_NAME value when it
278 is not fully convertible to STRING (patch by James Cloos).
279 - fix a buffer overflow that would cause wrong key sequences to
280 be generated for numpad keys (introduced in 9.05).
281 - fix definition of sgr0 to work around limitations in luit.
282 - extend ISO 14755 5.4 mode to also print the font name of the
283 characters other than first one in the selected cell
284 (Emanuele Giaquinta).
285 - new iso14755 option to disable ISO 14755 at runtime
286 (Emanuele Giaquinta).
287 - make sure pagewise scrolling scrolls at least one line
288 (found by Mikachu).
289 - remove deprecated OSC 18 / 19 and make OSC 17 / 19 apply to
290 highlightColor / highlightTextColor (Emanuele Giaquinta).
291 - add highlightTextColor resource to change the foreground colour of
292 highlighted characters (Emanuele Giaquinta).
293 - make highlightColor apply also to selected cells with reverse video
294 but not to non selected cells with reverse video (Emanuele Giaquinta).
295 - remove colorRV resource (it was enabled only with frills off).
296 - fix numlock handling, the most longstanding bug to date (Emanuele Giaquinta).
297 - reduce the number of custom bits to 4, to make room
298 for 256 colours.
299 - add support for 256 colors (Emanuele Giaquinta, Marc Lehmann).
300 - add rxvt-unicode-256color terminfo and use it by default in 256 colors mode.
301 - update rxvt-unicode terminfo to state 7744 colour pairs to cover all
302 88*88 possible pairs.
303 - actually added macosx-clipboard-native, which should have been in
304 the 9.07 release but had been forgotten.
305 - fix hang if DECAWM is not set and there are not enough columns to insert a
306 character (Emanuele Giaquinta).
307 - cub1 ("backspace") will now respect wrapping when past the rightmost column,
308 working around a shortcoming of most tty line discipline's line editing.
309 - add support for grabbing the clipboard selection and extend
310 selection{_clear,_grab,} perl bindings to optionally work
311 on the clipboard selection (based on patch by Dana Jansens).
312 - no longer force CERASE to BACKSPACE - use the system default. affects
313 default value for VERASE only when no compatible setting for
314 backspacekey was given.
315 - use higher than 38400 baudrate setting, if detected.
316 - erase screen would clear to the wrong background when blinking
317 was enabled (which selects high intensity under some circumstances).
318 - scr_kill_char didn't touch the line.
319 - upgrade and port to libev-4.01.
320 - enabled solaris event ports and kqueue backends (if available).
321
3229.07 Wed Dec 30 07:07:18 CET 2009
323 - port to glibc-2.10 changes (strchr etc. returning const char *
324 in C++), based on patches by Milos Jakubicek and Oliver Mader.
325 - the binary search algorithm to find precomposed characters
326 was faulty, skipping some possible combinations (found by
327 Mikachu).
328 - new -letterspace option, patch by Mark H. Wilkinson.
329 - enable --mlock option for urxvt with frills on
330 systems supporting it (patch by Russell Harmon).
331 - urxvt did not compile without frills enabled
332 (analysed by Matthew Rosewarne).
333 - correctly reset the mbstate after an illegal
334 input sequence when handling terminal output (Emanuele Giaquinta).
335 - avoid redrawing wide characters with combining enabled on every
336 refresh (reported by Mikachu).
337 - fix a typo preventing the ISO-646.1991 character set from being
338 recognized (http://achurch.org/patch-pile/).
339 - better warning for x11 font encoding detection failures, also,
340 try to deduce encoding from both font properties and name
341 (adapted from http://achurch.org/patch-pile/).
342 - resizing the window with the scrollbar disabled via the escapes
343 sequence could make the window bigger again (Mikachu).
344 - make sure the alignment for fd passing control messages
345 is correct and work around some NetBSD issues (Taylor R Campbell).
346 - update to libptytty 1.3.
347 - replace macosx-clipboard by a nicer version by Reza Jelveh, and move
348 the old version to macosx-clipboard-native.
349 - document the -uc option (Emanuele Giaquinta).
350 - assertions in libev are now enabled depending on frills.
351 - update AnyEvent implementation to version 5.23 API.
352 - work around arrogant bsd idiocies again: netbsd spills the default
353 namespace with lots of symbols "for gnu/gcc compatibility" even
354 though neither of them does it, and then calls the rest of the world
355 in need of fixing. go figure.
356 - on_keyboard_command is on_user_command (patch by Michael Witten).
357 - setting the selection from perl will now reset the selection screen
358 to the current screen. the screen can be manipulated using
359 the new ->selection_screen method.
360 - implement --enable-assert configure option and get rid of DEBUG_STRICT
361 (based on patch by Emanuele Giaquinta).

366
3679.06 Sat Nov 8 17:47:18 CET 2008
368 - NOTICE: this release updates terminfo/termcap.
369 - updates libev to 3.48.
370 - the aterm code now frees the as visual and image manager objects
371 when a window was closed.
372 - do not (wrongly) adjust the virtual line length inside
373 scr_insdel_chars/ERASE (Miroslav Lichvar).
374 - fix an issue where wide tab characters caused character shifts
375 when part of them was deleted (tracked down by Miroslav Lichvar).
376 - artificially enlargen the previous character at the end of a line
377 when trying to output a character that doesn't fit. looks ugly, but
378 makes copy&paste work.
379 - remove bogus "setuid/setgid security issues" from rxvt.1.pod, they
380 no longer apply.
381 - the urgency hint is now cleared on both focus in and focus out.
382 - cache urgency hint locally to avoid server rtt on every focus change.
383 - perl 5.10 needs PERL_SYS_INIT3 on hppa.
384 - ignore byte-order marks and do not treat them like combining characters.
385 - fix build issue when CURSOR_BLINK is not defined (Emanuele Giaquinta).
386 - do some µ-optimisations to the character fast path.
387 - use a less cunning, but more robust algorithm to avoid one terminal
388 monopolising the whole process by outputting a lot of text.
389 - try to work around linux first breaking sched_yield and now breaking
390 the only known workaround.
391 - new option -icon to set _NET_WM_ICON (based on patch by Frank Schmitt).
392 - initialise the as visual only on demand, instead of unconditionally,
393 to save memory in the common case of not using visual gimmicks.
394 - try to work around bugs in a few wm's that erroneously resize
395 client windows on hint property updates by temporarily
396 disabling size hints.
397 - implement the DECSTR soft reset sequence and use it for tput init,
398 and make hard RIS and DECSTR both reset more private modes, such
399 as mouse reporting.
400 - redundantly clear mouse reporting and a few other states in
401 tput init/tput reset, for older urxvts.
402 - partial/full clear screens did cause flickering and possibly pixel
403 droppings when urxvt viewed the scrollback buffer.
404 - use current rendition style in DCH sequence.
405 - the 132/80 mode switch no longer forces a screen reset.
406 - add an osc sequence to change the border colour (Emanuele Giaquinta).
407 - new perl extension "overlay-osc", for status displays and the like.
408 - fix some minor cursor drawing issues with overlays by allowing
409 overlays to modify screen flags (to disable the cursor themselves).
410 - work around programs not restoring rstyle before rmcup
411 (analysed by Miroslav Lichvar).
412
4139.05 Sun Jun 15 20:09:20 CEST 2008
414 - new option --cd/chdir to set the starting working directory.
415 - tabbed extension now starts in the "correct" working directory.
416 - work around fedora 9 providing isastream but not the relevant
417 header file for it (report by Tuncer Ayaz).
418 - upgrade libev, fixing a bug in the select backend.
419 with more than 31 file descriptors on non-linux 64 bit systems.
420 - correctly reset the multibyte state to the initial one

428 - implement ESC [ 3 K as a more rational alternative to ESC [ 0 K.
429 - support relative paths for RXVT_SOCKET in urxvtd.

441
4429.01 Sat Jan 26 20:49:27 CET 2008
443 - be more aggressive about handling X events, this seems to be required
444 with newer xlibs (should fix the "screen stays black until event is
445 received" problem, again :)

447
4489.0 Fri Jan 25 19:34:04 CET 2008
449 - fix a crash bug where urxvtd would crash when urxvtc was called
450 with wrong arguments (I wish debian maintainers in general would
451 report bugs and their proposed fixes to the original package maintainers
452 instead of sitting on them for good measure to see if anybody notices).
453 - drawing xft compose characters was causing garbage to be drawn.
454 - correctly clear xft character background in all cases.
455 - implement bracketed paste mode (xterm private mode 2004).
456 - improve documentation on alpha channel handling, make urxvt
457 work better on servers lacking the RENDER extension when alpha
458 channels or background images are used.

462 - continuously update transparency while moving/resizing now.
463 - OSC 39/49 are deprecated and aliased to OSC 10/11.
464 - cub1 now acts as advertised (and ignores the "wrapped" state).
465 - the 132/80 mode switch now forces a height of 24, too, and
466 resets the terminal.
467 - scrollbar code cleanups.
468 - stopping children is no longer confused with children exiting.
469 - removed (undocumented) #aarrggbb format.
470 - updated to libev 3.0.
471
4728.9 Mon Dec 24 07:51:40 CET 2007
473 - fix the issue where urxvtd would not immediately close a window
474 when the command exited but only on the next X event.

479 and flickering after bg pixmap changes (reported by Mikachu).
480 - fix redraw bug in xterm scrollbar with -sr (reported by Mikachu).

487 options that shouldn't be compiled in, leading to interesting
488 effects.
489 - updated libev, working around a bug in linux 2.4, curing the
490 symptom of urxvt not closing its window on shell exit. also
491 fixes a problem with urxvt not refreshing.
492 - the text blink callback was called even when no blinking
493 text was visible.
494 - pre-8.4 slipwheeling behaviour has been reinstated, with
495 some minor improvements.
496 - streamlined x events processing to only flush once per
497 display and not once per terminal window.
498 - quite a bit of minor code cleanups and codesize optimisations.
499
5008.7 Sun Nov 25 10:23:49 CET 2007
501 - update libev with an important bugfix that would cause crashes
502 when closing windows (when using rxvtd, and update is recommended).
503 - do not compile in the block builtin graphics with --disable-frills.
504
5058.6 Fri Nov 23 14:10:57 CET 2007
506 - upgrade libev to disable kqueue on anything but netbsd as it
507 seems to be broken everywhere else w.r.t. ptys.
508 - allow for spurious event notifications, as at least epoll and
509 especially solaris ports like to lie about them (symptoms:
510 urxvt "hangs" until there is some x11 related activity).
511 - -keysym command line options are now subjected to xlib parsing.
512 - add 'xrm' option analogous to Xt one.

522 - fix memory leak in pixmap code.
523 - fix a serious bug while setting the XIM destroy callback
524 on (typical) 64 bit systems.
525 - automove-background functionality re-implemented internally using :root op in pixmap
526 geometry string. For example: rxvt -pixmap "image.jpg;:root"
527 - do not link rxvtc against every lib on the planet anymore.
528 - parallel builds should work once more.
