369.20 Sat Apr 26 16:22:27 CEST 2014
37 - (libptytty) fix bug that prevented urxvtd from writing utmp
38 entries when using --fork (reported by Ryan Kavanagh).
39 - security bugfix: window property values could be queried even
40 in secure mode (reported by Conor McCarthy).
41 - fix build when perl is enabled and fading is disabled.
42 - fix regression that broke continuous scrolling when pressing
43 and holding the scrollbar up or down button, gentoo bug #493992.
44 - increase the maximum length of a command sequence to 32k bytes,
45 to allow longer OSC sequences (previous limit was 2k).
46 - new Ctrl-Meta-c and Ctrl-Meta-v bindings to interact with
47 the CLIPBOARD selection.
48 - new extension: selection-to-clipboard.
49 - the extensions macosx-clipboard and macosx-clipboard-native
50 are deprecated and will be removed in the next release.
51 Support for the clipboard on OS X can be more generally
52 enabled by setting the XQuartz preference to sync the OS X
53 pasteboard and the X11 clipboard.
54
559.19 Sun Oct 27 17:16:07 CET 2013
56 - work around perl 5.18.0 breakage in tabbed extension
57 (reported by Karol Blazewicz) and in pod (Dominic Hargreaves).
58 - fix regression that caused the double-click word selection to
59 erroneously include a tab on the left of the selected word.
60 - implement FOCUS variable and focus_fade function in background
61 expression, to allow focus-sensitive background images.
62 - add support for the set cursor style (DECSCUSR) control
63 function.
64 - honour cursorColor also when the cursor style is underline.
65 - export some Color_xxx constants to Perl.
66
679.18 Sun Mar 24 15:33:35 CET 2013
68 - fix regression that caused artifacts on resize.
69
709.17 Fri Mar 1 13:46:08 CET 2013
71 - add shade operator in background perl extension.
72 - avoid starting or ending the selection in the middle of wide
73 characters to avoid artifacts (reported by Tiago Resende).
74 - fix artifacts that may occur if the character in the cursor
75 cell has width > 1 (reported by Tiago Resende).
76 - fix regression that causes artifacts on scrolling if
77 saveLines is 0 and the window is resized (reported by Bert
78 Münnich).
79 - fix build when perl is enabled and pixbuf and transparency
80 are disabled.
81
829.16 Thu Dec 27 11:56:43 CET 2012
83 - the "so much new stuff your eyes will pop out" release.
84 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: renamed urlLauncher resource to url-launcher.
85 - fix processing of DEC private mode save sequences (patch by Patrick
86 Hemmer).
87 - perl extensions now have their own manpages, installed as urxvt-NAME(1),
88 e.g. urxvt-background(1) - see urxvt-extensions(1) for a list.
89 - fix disabling of cursor blink with the option-popup menu (based on a
90 patch by Jan Larres).
91 - the font height is not augmented anymore when lineSpace is non zero.
92 - fix "new pagemap" vs. "delete pagemap" mismatch ([] vs. non-[]),
93 as diagnosed by clang.
94 - fix height mismatch between active and inactive cursor when
95 lineSpace is non zero (patch by Stanislav Seletskiy).
96 - make it compile with LOCAL_X_IS_UNIX again (reported by
97 nickfailure@gmail.com).
98 - completely redone background pixmap support - users can now
99 specify arbitrary expressions (And programs) that calculate
100 new terminal backgrounds. see the urxvt-background manpage
101 for details.
102 - xrender is now required for background pixmap support.
103 - perl extensions can now provide commandline switches and resources
104 which show up in -help etc.
105 - iso14755 51 mode window now displays row and column.
106 - implement a -visual switch and move that and -depth to frills, also
107 warn when we can't get the requested visual.
108 - new env variable: RXVT_PERL_LIB.
109 - allocate all screen memory in one go and let the virtual memory
110 subsystem sort it out. this simplifies code, improves access
111 locality, saves a bit of ram and makes things a bit faster, too.
112 - remove support for libafterimage.
113 - update to CVS version of libev, for a whopping 11kb size decrease.
114 - do not ship yet another copy of ecb.h, use the one in libev or
115 libptytty instead.
116 - selectively mark some methods as cache-hot/cache cold, which
117 might speed up execution but definitely decreases codesize.
118 - Fix regression that prevented the scrollbar trough color
119 from being applied (reported by Derek B. Noonburg).
120 - Fix the scrollbar size for rxvt style (patch by Mark Robinson).
121
1229.15 Sat Jan 21 13:36:56 CET 2012
123 - remove "using namespace std" because clang erroneously
124 thinks thats an error.
125 - finding a matching font (e.g. bold version of the base font)
126 was broken (reported by Eamon Walker).
127 - fix parsing of bg image styles. They really work now.
128 - fix blurring of bg image borders when using xrender.
129 - fix xrender blur on common xrender implementations that do
130 not behave correctly when the same pixmap is used as source
131 and destination in composite operations.
132 - fix regression that caused tabbed to compute the wrong size
133 for tabs.
134 - allow again an empty suffix in a keysym list spec (patch by
135 Sung Pae).
136 - unsupported support for sun studio's CC added.
137 - fix -C option on solaris.
138
1399.14 Wed Dec 21 18:40:33 CET 2011
140 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: the urxvtd default socket path is now
141 $HOME/.urxvt/urxvtd-<nodename>.
142 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: the "list" keysym expansion now requires
143 loading of the "keysym-list" perl extension.
144 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: A scale value of 0 in the bg image
145 geometry no longer enables tiling, so as to make it possible
146 to disable both scaling and tiling.
147 - overhaul of the bg image operations. The old operations have
148 been deprecated in favour of elementary operations and
149 styles built on top of the new operations and scale/position
150 settings. (Emanuele Giaquinta).
151 - support for libafterimage is deprecated and will be removed
152 in the next release.
153 - fix a crash caused by selection_check not properly resetting
154 out-of-bounds mark values (can happen when extending a selection
155 while scrolling up in curses programs for example).
156 - do not move the selection when scrolling up and the selection is
157 outside the scrolling region (Emanuele Giaquinta).
158 - fix display of bold bright black (reported by Ben Winslow).
159 - fix memory leak when urgentOnBell is set (patch by Nathaniel
160 Filardo).
161 - fix a redraw bug that occurs when a bg pixmap is set and the
162 wm does not honour the size hints set by urxvt. Now urxvt
163 forces the size of the terminal window to be a multiple of
164 the cell size.
165 - sanitise the argument of SD / SU sequences. Fixes a possible
166 crash when the argument is big enough, red hat bug #711137
167 (Emanuele Giaquinta).
168 - correctly split long lines when scrolling.
169 - urxvt now looks for perl extensions also in $HOME/.urxvt/ext.
170 - add bell-command perl extension to execute a command when a
171 bell event occurs (Ryan Kavanagh).
172 - add set_urgency perl binding to set/reset the urgency hint.
173 - consume button release event in matcher (exg).
174 - keyboard accessible list of recent matches in matcher
175 (Bob Farrell).
176 - properly process 'keysym' sequences in tabbed when using
177 'focus follows mouse' and the focus is on the main window
178 but not on the active terminal window (patch by Martin
179 Pohlack).
180 - support for the freedesktop startup-notification protocol (patch by
181 Michael Stapelberg).
182 - the direction of VPR and VPB commands was reversed.
183 - fix alignment of inherited root pixmap when it is a different size
184 than the root window and the terminal window is off the left or top
185 edge (Mikachu).
186 - make $self visible in "eval perl expression" popup action, also
187 handle exceptions better.
188 - fix parsing of '-e' when it occurs as an option argument, such as in
189 'urxvt -title -e' (Emanuele Giaquinta).
190
1919.12 Wed Jun 29 14:34:28 CEST 2011
192 - fix regression in processing of SelectionNotify events.
193 urxvt would fail to request a selection if the owner did not
194 support the UTF8_STRING target.
195 - fix rendering of double width chars in certain circumstances, more
196 likely to happen if urxvt is compiled with 256 colors support as
197 urxvt runs out of fonts much earlier then. Fixes gentoo bug #358151
198 (Emanuele Giaquinta).
199 - restore support for 'list' syntax in keysym resources (requested by Sung Pae).
200 - always premultiply colour values - while this increases differences between
201 core fonts and xft, it is "more correct" in practical situations.
202 - disable PTYTTY_REENTRANT option - not needed for urxvt and saves a bit of code.
203 - remove lucidatypewriter from the list of fallback fonts, it was the only
204 non-xft non-cellfont in the list anyway.
205
2069.11 Mon May 2 10:34:46 CEST 2011
207 - fix compilation on GNU/Hurd, debian bug #624736.
208 - remove 'list' syntax for keysym resources, as it serves no useful purpose.
209 If you need it, poke us and provide a use case.
210 - fix alpha channel support. Premultiply alpha in colours if the visual
211 supports an alpha channel, as xrender expects premultiplied alpha
212 (Emanuele Giaquinta).
213 - fix reply to a selection request sent by an obsolete client
214 such as syncterm (patch by Marcin Cieslak).
215 - fix crash when the window is resized and the overlay is active
216 (Emanuele Giaquinta, reported by Ryan Kavanagh).
217 - match character-wise rather than byte-wise in selection
218 extension again. perl 5.8.9+ is required to avoid extreme
219 slowdowns. Fixes debian bugs #523072, #616463.
220 - fix a possible crash if the INCR transfer process for a
221 selection property timeouts and at least one chunk is
222 received. (Emanuele Giaquinta)
223 - work around a memory corruption bug in xorg's XrmSetDatabase (apparently
224 broken since http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/xorg-commit-diffs/2004-March/000239.html).
225 - fix memory corruption bug when custom command sequences bound to keys
226 were injected into an already-full pty input buffer.
227 - gdk-pixbuf is autodetected by default and preferred over libafterimage.
228 - do not prepend a newline to the selection text when the starting line
229 of the selection is not highlighted (Emanuele Giaquinta).
230 - don't swap perl env with real env, save and restore it, just in case
231 we ever get recursive perl invocations. also saves a bit of codespace
232 with gcc.
233 - fix various memory leaks (Emanuele Giaquinta).
234 - fix typo in kIC terminfo capability, debian bug #446444.
235 - document 'thickness' resource.
236 - fix debian bug #504817, to the extent possible.
237 - try to detect byte order at compile time, saves a couple of
238 hundred bytes, if your compiler is smart enough.
239 - add support for previewing the pasted data in confirm-paste
240 (Emanuele Giaquinta).
241 - added "newlines to spaces" option in selection-popup.
242 - actually enabled solaris event ports backend (was disabled by accident).
243 - revert to 38400 baud max., mission accomplished.
244 - no longer create scary "pty_fill: PLEASE REPORT" message, instead,
245 silently drain the input (problem is well understood now).
246 - no longer swallow rob nation's own graphics mode commands.
247
2489.10 Mon Dec 13 17:43:52 CET 2010
249 - the "schmorp=north korea dickey=south korea" release.
250 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: make OSC 20 simpler and more correct
251 (Emanuele Giaquinta).
252 - if options were compiled out, this could lead to the option
253 count to be defined wrongly. This is likely behind the
254 failures with gcc 4.5.
255 - explicitly depend on fontconfig and xrender when xft support
256 is enabled. Although the public Xft api uses types from
257 both, in Xft 2.2.0 these libs are private
258 dependencies only thanks to an idiotic behaviour of
259 pkg-config that was added to workaround cases like this one.
260 Fixes linking when using GNU ld with --as-needed or GNU gold
261 (based on patch by Jan Palus).
262 - fix minor memory leaks in urxvt and urxvtd.
263 - fix regression in urxvtd that prevented options from being correctly
264 set (reported by Michal Vaner).
265 - implement xterm's horribly broken 1005 mouse reporting mode,
266 and an alternative 1015 mode that works in non-utf-8 locales
267 and has fewer limitations.
268 - fix a possible bug where mouse notifications didn't work after
269 startup for the upper left corner.
270 - implement our own pixbuf to pixmap rendering to get rid of
271 dependency on buggy gdk-pixbuf-xlib. Only truecolor visuals
272 are supported (Emanuele Giaquinta).
273 - apply tinting before shading when both operations are requested.
274 Previously they were intermixed when lightening and the result
275 was inaccurate and confusing. Note that now a black tint yields a
276 completely black image, regardless of shading (Emanuele Giaquinta).
277 - avoid spurious redraws of the bg image when bg is transparent or
278 when using 'root' mode (Emanuele Giaquinta).
279 - fix build on XFree86.
280 - dynamically number options according to compiletime requirements.
281 For the extra saved byte. Or so. Yay.
282 - start options at one, not zero. Wastes a bit per terminal. Maybe.
283 saves 50 instruction bytes. Possibly.
284
2859.09 Sat Nov 13 01:39:07 CET 2010
286 - NOTICE: this release updates terminfo/termcap.
287 - the bestest release ever.

290 - add support for using gdk-pixbuf as image backend (Emanuele Giaquinta).
291 - cleanup and minor fixes of the image code (Emanuele Giaquinta).
292 - new perl extension "confirm-paste" (Emanuele Giaquinta).
293 - new on_tt_paste perl hook and tt_paste perl binding (Emanuele Giaquinta).
294 - new on_bell perl hook (Emanuele Giaquinta).
295 - searchable-scrollback no longer ignores the first line
296 (Emanuele Giaquinta).
297 - properly set VSTATUS in termios for *BSD (reported by Ed Schouten).
298 - fix utmpx detection on upcoming FreeBSD 9.
299 - Use COMPOUND_TEXT encoding for WM_NAME/WM_ICON_NAME value when it
300 is not fully convertible to STRING (patch by James Cloos).
301 - fix a buffer overflow that would cause wrong key sequences to
302 be generated for numpad keys (introduced in 9.05).
303 - fix definition of sgr0 to work around limitations in luit.
304 - extend ISO 14755 5.4 mode to also print the font name of the
305 characters other than first one in the selected cell
306 (Emanuele Giaquinta).
307 - new iso14755 option to disable ISO 14755 at runtime
308 (Emanuele Giaquinta).
309 - make sure pagewise scrolling scrolls at least one line
310 (found by Mikachu).
311 - remove deprecated OSC 18 / 19 and make OSC 17 / 19 apply to
312 highlightColor / highlightTextColor (Emanuele Giaquinta).
313 - add highlightTextColor resource to change the foreground colour of
314 highlighted characters (Emanuele Giaquinta).
315 - make highlightColor apply also to selected cells with reverse video
316 but not to non selected cells with reverse video (Emanuele Giaquinta).
317 - remove colorRV resource (it was enabled only with frills off).
318 - fix numlock handling, the most longstanding bug to date (Emanuele Giaquinta).
319 - reduce the number of custom bits to 4, to make room
320 for 256 colours.
321 - add support for 256 colors (Emanuele Giaquinta, Marc Lehmann).
322 - add rxvt-unicode-256color terminfo and use it by default in 256 colors mode.
323 - update rxvt-unicode terminfo to state 7744 colour pairs to cover all
324 88*88 possible pairs.
325 - actually added macosx-clipboard-native, which should have been in
326 the 9.07 release but had been forgotten.
327 - fix hang if DECAWM is not set and there are not enough columns to insert a
328 character (Emanuele Giaquinta).
329 - cub1 ("backspace") will now respect wrapping when past the rightmost column,
330 working around a shortcoming of most tty line discipline's line editing.
331 - add support for grabbing the clipboard selection and extend
332 selection{_clear,_grab,} perl bindings to optionally work
333 on the clipboard selection (based on patch by Dana Jansens).
334 - no longer force CERASE to BACKSPACE - use the system default. affects
335 default value for VERASE only when no compatible setting for
336 backspacekey was given.
337 - use higher than 38400 baudrate setting, if detected.
338 - erase screen would clear to the wrong background when blinking
339 was enabled (which selects high intensity under some circumstances).
340 - scr_kill_char didn't touch the line.
341 - upgrade and port to libev-4.01.
342 - enabled solaris event ports and kqueue backends (if available).
343
3449.07 Wed Dec 30 07:07:18 CET 2009
345 - port to glibc-2.10 changes (strchr etc. returning const char *
346 in C++), based on patches by Milos Jakubicek and Oliver Mader.
347 - the binary search algorithm to find precomposed characters
348 was faulty, skipping some possible combinations (found by
349 Mikachu).
350 - new -letterspace option, patch by Mark H. Wilkinson.
351 - enable --mlock option for urxvt with frills on
352 systems supporting it (patch by Russell Harmon).
353 - urxvt did not compile without frills enabled
354 (analysed by Matthew Rosewarne).
355 - correctly reset the mbstate after an illegal
356 input sequence when handling terminal output (Emanuele Giaquinta).
357 - avoid redrawing wide characters with combining enabled on every
358 refresh (reported by Mikachu).
359 - fix a typo preventing the ISO-646.1991 character set from being
360 recognized (http://achurch.org/patch-pile/).
361 - better warning for x11 font encoding detection failures, also,
362 try to deduce encoding from both font properties and name
363 (adapted from http://achurch.org/patch-pile/).
364 - resizing the window with the scrollbar disabled via the escapes
365 sequence could make the window bigger again (Mikachu).
366 - make sure the alignment for fd passing control messages
367 is correct and work around some NetBSD issues (Taylor R Campbell).
368 - update to libptytty 1.3.
369 - replace macosx-clipboard by a nicer version by Reza Jelveh, and move
370 the old version to macosx-clipboard-native.
371 - document the -uc option (Emanuele Giaquinta).
372 - assertions in libev are now enabled depending on frills.
373 - update AnyEvent implementation to version 5.23 API.
374 - work around arrogant bsd idiocies again: netbsd spills the default
375 namespace with lots of symbols "for gnu/gcc compatibility" even
376 though neither of them does it, and then calls the rest of the world
377 in need of fixing. go figure.
378 - on_keyboard_command is on_user_command (patch by Michael Witten).
379 - setting the selection from perl will now reset the selection screen
380 to the current screen. the screen can be manipulated using
381 the new ->selection_screen method.
382 - implement --enable-assert configure option and get rid of DEBUG_STRICT
383 (based on patch by Emanuele Giaquinta).

386 - upgrade to libev-3.9 prerelease.
387 - updated compose tables to unicode 5.2.0.
388
3899.06 Sat Nov 8 17:47:18 CET 2008
390 - NOTICE: this release updates terminfo/termcap.
391 - updates libev to 3.48.
392 - the aterm code now frees the as visual and image manager objects
393 when a window was closed.
394 - do not (wrongly) adjust the virtual line length inside
395 scr_insdel_chars/ERASE (Miroslav Lichvar).
396 - fix an issue where wide tab characters caused character shifts
397 when part of them was deleted (tracked down by Miroslav Lichvar).
398 - artificially enlargen the previous character at the end of a line
399 when trying to output a character that doesn't fit. looks ugly, but
400 makes copy&paste work.
401 - remove bogus "setuid/setgid security issues" from rxvt.1.pod, they
402 no longer apply.
403 - the urgency hint is now cleared on both focus in and focus out.
404 - cache urgency hint locally to avoid server rtt on every focus change.
405 - perl 5.10 needs PERL_SYS_INIT3 on hppa.
406 - ignore byte-order marks and do not treat them like combining characters.
407 - fix build issue when CURSOR_BLINK is not defined (Emanuele Giaquinta).
408 - do some µ-optimisations to the character fast path.
409 - use a less cunning, but more robust algorithm to avoid one terminal
410 monopolising the whole process by outputting a lot of text.
411 - try to work around linux first breaking sched_yield and now breaking
412 the only known workaround.
413 - new option -icon to set _NET_WM_ICON (based on patch by Frank Schmitt).
414 - initialise the as visual only on demand, instead of unconditionally,
415 to save memory in the common case of not using visual gimmicks.
416 - try to work around bugs in a few wm's that erroneously resize
417 client windows on hint property updates by temporarily
418 disabling size hints.
419 - implement the DECSTR soft reset sequence and use it for tput init,
420 and make hard RIS and DECSTR both reset more private modes, such
421 as mouse reporting.
422 - redundantly clear mouse reporting and a few other states in
423 tput init/tput reset, for older urxvts.
424 - partial/full clear screens did cause flickering and possibly pixel
425 droppings when urxvt viewed the scrollback buffer.
426 - use current rendition style in DCH sequence.
427 - the 132/80 mode switch no longer forces a screen reset.
428 - add an osc sequence to change the border colour (Emanuele Giaquinta).
429 - new perl extension "overlay-osc", for status displays and the like.
430 - fix some minor cursor drawing issues with overlays by allowing
431 overlays to modify screen flags (to disable the cursor themselves).
432 - work around programs not restoring rstyle before rmcup
433 (analysed by Miroslav Lichvar).
434
4359.05 Sun Jun 15 20:09:20 CEST 2008
436 - new option --cd/chdir to set the starting working directory.
437 - tabbed extension now starts in the "correct" working directory.
438 - work around fedora 9 providing isastream but not the relevant
439 header file for it (report by Tuncer Ayaz).
440 - upgrade libev, fixing a bug in the select backend.
441 with more than 31 file descriptors on non-linux 64 bit systems.
442 - correctly reset the multibyte state to the initial one
443 after EILSEQ (patch by Neil Booth). This fixes the
444 issue of rxvt-unicode not properly displaying text after an illegal
445 sequence on NetBSD and probably other systems.
446 - more intelligent property handling with -pe tabbed, works around
447 broken window managers (kwm et al.), saves bandwidth and should
448 help working window managers as well.
449 - made tabs moveable (based on a patch by Petr Machata).
450 - implement ESC [ 3 K as a more rational alternative to ESC [ 0 K.
451 - support relative paths for RXVT_SOCKET in urxvtd.
452 - the tabbed extension now blindly copies over all (rxvt-) resources
453 from the toplevel window to the children.
454 - better diagnostic on 0x0 window geometries.
455 - update AnyEvent API to version 3.4 and above.
456 - document the default value of :0 for DISPLAY.
457 - rename perl method XChangeWindowProperty to XChangeProperty.
458
4599.02 Tue Jan 29 11:58:36 CET 2008
460 - the "exg makes everybody happy" release.
461 - fix build with !xft.
462 - always compile in plain style scrollbar (simplifies code and looks great).
463
4649.01 Sat Jan 26 20:49:27 CET 2008
465 - be more aggressive about handling X events, this seems to be required
466 with newer xlibs (should fix the "screen stays black until event is
467 received" problem, again :)
468 - add buffered resource to control xft double-buffering.
469
4709.0 Fri Jan 25 19:34:04 CET 2008
471 - fix a crash bug where urxvtd would crash when urxvtc was called
472 with wrong arguments (I wish debian maintainers in general would
473 report bugs and their proposed fixes to the original package maintainers
474 instead of sitting on them for good measure to see if anybody notices).
475 - drawing xft compose characters was causing garbage to be drawn.
476 - correctly clear xft character background in all cases.
477 - implement bracketed paste mode (xterm private mode 2004).
478 - improve documentation on alpha channel handling, make urxvt
479 work better on servers lacking the RENDER extension when alpha
480 channels or background images are used.
481 - check for refresh after initialising to avoid staying blank
482 till the first event arrives. or so.
483 - the FORCE_UNBUFFERED_XFT feature macro works again.
484 - continuously update transparency while moving/resizing now.
485 - OSC 39/49 are deprecated and aliased to OSC 10/11.
486 - cub1 now acts as advertised (and ignores the "wrapped" state).
487 - the 132/80 mode switch now forces a height of 24, too, and
488 resets the terminal.
489 - scrollbar code cleanups.
490 - stopping children is no longer confused with children exiting.
491 - removed (undocumented) #aarrggbb format.
492 - updated to libev 3.0.
493
4948.9 Mon Dec 24 07:51:40 CET 2007
495 - fix the issue where urxvtd would not immediately close a window
496 when the command exited but only on the next X event.
497 - changed terminfo file not to use application keypad mode.
498 - fix the issue where making a selection in one urxvtd window
499 would not clear it visually in another.
500 - fix an issue of urxvt not getting background pixmap updates
501 and flickering after bg pixmap changes (reported by Mikachu).
502 - fix redraw bug in xterm scrollbar with -sr (reported by Mikachu).
503 - correctly provide dependencies for libev (µikachu).
504 - minor code reorganisations and cleanups.
505 - be more robust in case the urxvt-popup extension cannot be loaded.
506
5078.8 Sat Dec 15 19:40:39 CET 2007
508 - option -C was aliased to all unsupported options, activating
509 options that shouldn't be compiled in, leading to interesting
510 effects.
511 - updated libev, working around a bug in linux 2.4, curing the
512 symptom of urxvt not closing its window on shell exit. also
513 fixes a problem with urxvt not refreshing.
514 - the text blink callback was called even when no blinking
515 text was visible.
516 - pre-8.4 slipwheeling behaviour has been reinstated, with
517 some minor improvements.
518 - streamlined x events processing to only flush once per
519 display and not once per terminal window.
520 - quite a bit of minor code cleanups and codesize optimisations.
521
5228.7 Sun Nov 25 10:23:49 CET 2007
523 - update libev with an important bugfix that would cause crashes
524 when closing windows (when using rxvtd, and update is recommended).
525 - do not compile in the block builtin graphics with --disable-frills.
526
5278.6 Fri Nov 23 14:10:57 CET 2007
528 - upgrade libev to disable kqueue on anything but netbsd as it
529 seems to be broken everywhere else w.r.t. ptys.
530 - allow for spurious event notifications, as at least epoll and
531 especially solaris ports like to lie about them (symptoms:
532 urxvt "hangs" until there is some x11 related activity).
533 - -keysym command line options are now subjected to xlib parsing.
534 - add 'xrm' option analogous to Xt one.
535
5368.5a Wed Nov 21 10:16:33 CET 2007
537 - make it compile with --disable-transparency.
538
5398.5 Wed Nov 21 05:19:20 CET 2007
540 - expect major portability issues in this release: please test and report.
541 - converted from the veritable io manager event loop to
542 the high performance libev (http://software.schmorp.de/pkg/libev).
543 - minor tuning to the perl selection (include single words and more quoting chars).
544 - fix memory leak in pixmap code.
545 - fix a serious bug while setting the XIM destroy callback
546 on (typical) 64 bit systems.
547 - automove-background functionality re-implemented internally using :root op in pixmap
548 geometry string. For example: rxvt -pixmap "image.jpg;:root"
549 - do not link rxvtc against every lib on the planet anymore.
550 - parallel builds should work once more.
551
5528.4 Sat Oct 27 14:02:13 CEST 2007
553 - overhaul of the transparency/pixmap code (sasha).
554 - fix possible race between visual bell and poweron.
555 (reported by Martin von Gagern, gentoo?).
556 - urxvt -e no longer crashes the child.
557 - fixed some minor memleaks on incorrect usage or
558 missing DISPLAY.
559 - implement xterm 1002/1003 mouse tracking modes (exg).
560 - source code organisational cleanups (exg).
561 - updated io_manager.
562
5638.3 Wed Aug 1 20:21:31 CEST 2007
564 - new option: skipScroll/-ss, enabled by default.
565 - go with the times and expect x11 library files in /usr/lib, not
566 /usr/X11R6/lib.
567 - initial transparency improvement/afterimage support
568 patch by Sasha Vasko.
569 - add urgentOnBell resource to set the urgency hint
570 (patch by Philip Paeps).
571 - do not process focus events caused by grabs
572 (patch by Mikachu).
573 - add iso14755_52 resource to disable iso14755 5.2 (exg).
574 - add binding for backspace in iso14755 5.1 to remove the last
575 digit (exg).
576 - better option handling, support more than 30 options (exg).
577 - nuke reconf script, serves no purpose anymore.
578 - fixed and documented matcher/on_user_command processing in matcher
579 extension (tpope).
580 - compile out of the box on Solaris 10 (exg).
581 - fix MappingNotify events (reported by Stephan Walter).
582 - zero-initialise mwmhints, this seems to solve all sorts of minor
583 problems.
584
5858.2 Sat Feb 17 21:35:28 CET 2007
586 - fix make depend in src/, reported by exg.
587 - fixed typo in urxvt::GET_CUSTOM, causing the result to be wrong.
588 (patch by Sergey Vlasov).
589 - unbundled iom perl interface somewhat.
590 - scrollbar-xterm now uses the selected scrollColor instead of fg
591 (found by Aiviru).
592 - disabled linux kernel bug workaround again: disabling it gives
593 a 50% speed hit on affected machines, while enabling it gives
594 a similar speed hit to screen, which is likely the more common
595 case to work around for :/
596 - urxvt::rend2mask perl function, and utilization of it by matcher
597 (patch by Moshe Kamensky).
598 - use perl:matcher on a keysym to open most recently displayed URL.
599 - with matcher, when multiple patterns match, last wins, not first.
600 - fix make and make install with srcdir != builddir (exg).
601 - updated bundled libptytty to fix a bug where the tty would be kept
602 open (see the libptytty ChangeLog for details).
603 - delay setting the IUTF8 flag to after the tty settings have been
604 set so its value does not get lost (reported and analysed by Andrei
605 Paskevich).
606 - rip out support for obsolete sgtty.h interface.
607 - rip out support for non-POSIX termios variants.
608 - update libptytty.
609 - update iom.C, make it call ptytty::sanitise_stdfd on init.
610 - when !XFT, change rounding of colours to use a less correct formula to
611 meet user expectancies (#aaa becomes #a000a000a000 not #9f9f9f9f9f9f).
612 - change the starting offset of the pixmap set with backgroundPixmap
613 from (50,50) to (0,0) (exg).
614 - fix a typo in button_release, now meta-button2 request the value of
615 the Clipboard selection as it should (patch by Serge Koksharov).
616 - fix a bug in drawing a cell with a nonspacing char when using an xft
617 font with inheritPixmap and tintColor (exg).
618
6198.1 Thu Dec 7 22:27:25 CET 2006
620 - ｹﾘｽﾏｽﾌ゚ﾚｾ゙ﾝﾄ - zomg!!1, it's too early!!!
621 - fix the assumption that chars < 256 are single-width. Now
622 only assume this for codepoints 32 to 126 (reported by Dai.H.).
623 - $term->strwidth returned wide chars as width 1, because some jerk
624 confused min and max. Fixing this also fixes xim-onthespot.
625 Reported by Takano Akio.
626 - secondaryScroll is now enabled by default (as per the manpage),
627 reported by exg.
628 - correct the description of [percent]color rgba format in the manpage.
629 - incorporated macosx-clipboard extension by Samuel Ljungkvist.
630 - ignore (some) useless focus events (reported by mmc).
631 - updated compose table to unicode 5.0.0.
632
6338.0 Thu Nov 2 18:35:19 CET 2006
634 - combining characters cleared the area instead of creating an overlay,
635 thus losing the ability to draw combining characters properly in most
636 circumstances (reported by exg).
637 - specified fonts were incorrectly morphed to bold/italic according to the
638 basefont, even if explicitly specified (tracked down by tpope).
639 - fixed urxvt::strwidth to calculate width in the same way as screen.C.
640 - fix a crash caused by passing negative widths to overlay functions.
641 - added 'matcher' extension by tpope, replacing the mark-urls extension.
642 - improve url regex to match anything www.* (tpope).
643 - fixed bug with outline cursor color being wrong after xft fonts.
644 - update to libptytty-1.0.
645 - give proper diagnostic when RXVT_SOCKET is too long instead of
646 corrupting the stack (patch by exg).
647 - display current terminal locale in option menu.
648 - urxvtd no longer crashes when the client sends an inaccessible
649 working directory (reported by Roland Baer, possibly fixes gentoo
650 bug #143985).
651 - fixed many minor issues reported by Roland Baer.
652 - Leonid Khramov spotted a minor glitch in rxvtfont.C that
653 should not have any consequences, but was buggy nonetheless.
654 - manpage fix by exg.
655
6567.9 Mon Aug 7 18:16:07 CEST 2006
657 - fix the crashing bug people encountered with 7.8 + urxvtd + perl
658 + transparency. Ought to fix debian bug #380348.
659 - fix urxvtc.1.pod: it actually claimed -pty-fd would not work. But
660 it does! :->
661 - rxvt_fatal() in case the locale string is too long for our static buffer.
662 - fixed many, many, typos in the manpages (patch supplied by ves).
663
6647.8 Mon Jul 17 21:00:46 CEST 2006
665 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: this version will always read ~/.Xdefaults,
666 earlier versions only read it if display-resources (usually from
667 .Xresources) are not set. This avoids the #1 FAQ ("why isn't my
668 resource used") and seems to be logical behaviour, too. .Xdefaults
669 resources have a lower priority than display-specific resources.
670 - add "kuake" perl extension that does a similar thing to the kuake
671 terminal emulator (see man urxvtperl).
672 - use less "correct" color scaling that is compatible with libX11 and
673 Xft (avoids off-by-one colors resulting in striped backgrounds).
674 - the "depth" resource is now respected.
675 - preset the searchable-scrollback pattern with "(?i)" to default search
676 to case-insensitivity. Will automatically be cleared when typing an
677 uppercase character.
678 - add FORCE_UNBUFFERED_XFT define to features.h.
679 - re-enabled highlightcolor support with --enable-frills, based on
680 a patch by Martin Stubenschrott.
681 - double-buffered xft drawing did suffer from pixel offset issues
682 when pixmap transparency was enabled.
683 - strategically add # to the url-match regexes, as we really want to
684 match common URIs not common URLs. Reported by Aaron Griffin.
685 - moved on_osc_seq to on_osc_seq_perl and added a more
686 generic osc_seq.
687 - fix a bug causing double callback invocations when perl hooks
688 were invoked recursively.
689 - the automove-background extension now properly works when the
690 pixmap gets reset with an osc sequence (sqweek).
691 - selection-pastebin did not work properly with non-latin1-characters.
692 - apply colorUL only when the text colour is the default fg
693 (patch by Wu Fengguang).
694 - removed rxvtlib.h from the tarball, it had no reason to be there
695 (spotted by Decklin Foster).
696 - fix compiling with TRANSPARENT but !XPM_BACKGROUND, as reported
697 by omatunto_.
698 - slap in a using namespace std, might help on platforms that don't
699 follow C++ closely enough.
700 - fix mailto url regex, spotted within milliseconds by Jost Krieger.
701 - applied fade_color_update_func.patch by WU Fengguang.
702 - fix a bug where (due to an optimisation in av_delete), hiding the
703 bottom-most overlay would hide two overlays.
704
7057.7 Tue Feb 21 12:32:49 CET 2006
706 - use double-buffered drawing (xft fonts only). On many driver/hardware
707 combination this actually increases xft drawing speed, at the expense
708 of more network bandwidth and slight nausea on the side of the author.
709 - readline perl extension now requires shift-click instead of a normal
710 click, and eats the click.
711 - tabbed perl extension now supports -e.
712 - disabled graphics-exposures on the main drawing GC, report any
713 refresh bugs please.
714 - improve property handling for -pe tabbed: avoid unnecessary property
715 changes (for kde's benefit) at the expense of extra round-trips,
716 improve size hint setting.
717 - modified XIM according to a patch sent by Takano Akio that sets
718 the preedit rectangle for OverTheSpot, which helps some input methods
719 to correctly position their preedit window.
720 - un-optimise the line clearing on newly scrolled-in lines a bit: the
721 former reasoning was that any fg colour on default bg looks the same
722 in empty spaces, but that's not true when reversing (e.g. selection),
723 so also check for matching fg colours. This fixes the problem where
724 selecting newly scrolled-in lines would exhibit wrong colours.
725 - fix a bug in the perl interface causing focus in events to generate
726 focus out perl events, causing bad focus effects with -pe tabbed.
727 - fix a race resulting in a crash on exiting.
728 - fix a with --disable-xft that caused xfreecolors to be called on
729 colors never allocated, resulting in aborts (reported by Paco-Paco).
730 - resources on non-initial screens weren't refetched correctly
731 (reported by Paco-Paco).
732 - fix a bug in xcopyarea pass and _disable_ it, as it seems not to be
733 working in either rxvt-unicode nor in the original rxvt.
734 - removed undocumented -exec alias for the -e option.
735
7367.6 Fri Feb 10 08:52:36 CET 2006
737 - changed interpretation of [alpha] colour prefix.
738 - +option now really sets the option to default, instead of using the
739 resource value.
740 - options that require an argument now really _require_ an argument.
741 - the tabbed extension now forwards focus and key events to the
742 relevant tab window.
743 - tab colours are now configurable and have sensible defaults
744 (initial patch by hednod).
745 - option menu is extendable, readline, selection and
746 selection-autotransform can now be disabled/enabled at runtime.
747 - forcing a configure event to tabbed subwindows with -pe tabbed, for
748 the benefit of automove-background.
749 - the automove-background extension added a wrong constant offset.
750 - force refresh of XA_RESOURCE_STRING on virtual reconnect.
751 - return exit status 2 in urxvtc when urxvtd couldn't be contacted.
752 - the linux yield hack is back, now using usleep, and enabled only on
753 __linux__.
754 - further round trip eliminations in the !XFT case by remembering
755 the colour components.
756 - plain scrollbar works better with -sr.
757 - fixed half-shadow scrollbar look.
758 - more colour rtt optimisations.
759 - properly(?) free colours on window close.
760 - reorganised the FAQ into multiple sections.
761 - add ISO646.1991-IRV to the list of supported codesets.
762 - minor libptytty update.
763
7647.5 Tue Jan 31 15:15:43 CET 2006
765 - further improvements to the careful mode detection, and font width
766 detection:
767 - fully double-wide fonts will now be correctly treated,
768 - overlap detection was improved.
769 - detect totally broken fonts (usually synthesized by xft).
770 - careful mode forced refresh sometimes clashed with blinking,
771 causing unnecessary screen redraws.
772 - better handling of XFT combining characters.
773 - enable antialiasing for some replacement fonts, as they
774 might get used for other encodings which really need it, later.
775 - remove spacing=100 from all default fonts, as this creates totally
776 weird spacing (5 times normal) with xft.
777 - removed iso10646 fallback, as xorgs iso10646 encoded fonts are mostly
778 broken.
779 - removed gnu unifont fallback, all combining characters are broken.
780 - replace named colours by xorg's rgb.txt equivalents, to
781 reduce round trip time on startup, and short-cut allocation
782 of rgb:rr/gg/bb for xft.
783 - short-cut allocation of rgb values in the xlib case
784 (patch by Paco-Paco).
785 - overhauled color management: smaller codesize, alpha support.
786 - support "rgba:rrrr/gggg/bbbb/aaaa" color specifications and
787 an "[alpha]" prefix.
788 - try to work around Xft and Xrender forcing everything to be 100%
789 transparent. Long Live Xft!
790 - do not include X11/Intrinsic.h anymore, directly use
791 Xlib/Xutil/Xresource directly.
792 - try to find a nearest matching color when color allocation fails
793 on a pseudocolor screen.
794 - SYNCCVS: compared to rxvt-cvs 2006-01-28, no relevant changes.
795 - fix version report (DA) (which was unfortunately broken).
796 - changed version number report again, now to emulate xterm closer.
797 - added the OSC sequence 702 to detect the urxvt version number.
798 - small configure updates.
799 - further RTT optimisations.
800 - backported clean-up patches for makefiles and documentation from
801 the debian package.
802 - updated doc/rxvt-unicode.spec file. It's still not maintained here,
803 but much newer than the old one.
804
8057.4 Sat Jan 28 15:26:27 CET 2006
806 - screen background wasn't always erased properly when scrolling,
807 - re-enabled clearing optimisation disabled in 7.4pre.
808 - small configure updates for libptytty.
809 - fixed version options: line output.
810 - removed stoopid debugging message left in the code.
811
8127.3 Wed Jan 25 22:47:35 CET 2006
813 - don't let iso14755 or mouse reporting get into the way of perl
814 (could lead to global grabs never being cleared).
815 - experimental OnTheSpot editing support (-pe xim-onthespot).
816 - moved Shift-Button2 paste combination to Meta-Button2.
817 - the cutchars resource will now be respected and used by the
818 selection extension.
819 - added the "remote-clipboard" extension which just runs external
820 commands to fetch and store the selection data.
821 - added -depth switch that tries to get a different visual depth
822 than the default (replaces the old PREFER_24_BIT logic).
823 - removed (unused) arabic presentation form composing sequences.
824 - be more strict when deciding that a core font glyph is too wide and
825 needs the careful rendering mode.
826 - allow more leeway for italic fonts when deciding that a character is
827 too wide and needs careful mode.
828 - redraw even more characters around characters using careful mode.
829 - made selection-pastebin fully asynchronous.
830 - reduced number of server turnarounds at startup by allocating
831 atoms only once per display.
832 - renamed on_keyboard_command to on_user_command.
833 - changed version sos (ESC [ > c) response to be more compatible with
834 xterm.
835
8367.2 Sun Jan 22 21:58:16 CET 2006
837 - bugfix: urxvt (not urxvtd) did not correctly handle multiple
838 environments necessary, which resulted in segfaults within
839 getenv (reproducible: urxvt -fn 9x15, open a menu once,
840 ctrl-shift-672c).
841 - bugfix: the selection speedup in in 7.1 unfortunately caused
842 non-ascii characters to enlarge/move the selection.
843 - bugfix: resizing sometimes leaked lines from the secondary to
844 the primary screen.
845 - bugfix: reducing window size while large amounts of text were output
846 could lead to an assertion failure.
847 - added "tabbed" extension that provides a crude tabbed terminal.
848 - added "readline" extension that allows cursor positioning
849 via mouse clicks.
850 - now it is possible to insert the value of the CLIPBOARD selection
851 with shift - mouse button 2.
852 - fixed the automove-background extension to ignore coordinates
853 in non-synthetic events.
854 - created a separate libpty for portable and secure
855 pty/tty/utmp/wtmp/lastlog handling, and include it in rxvt-unicode.
856 - the non-terminfo visual bell now works asynchronously, so
857 continuous ASCI BELs in one terminal do no longer monopolise the
858 whole urxvt[d] process.
859 - support some *BSD makes (for the time being, gnu make is a safe bet).
860 - work around bugs in FreeBSD's gcc.
861 - implemented some *BSD fixes in configure.
862 - removed support for obsolete offix dnd protocol.
863
8647.1 Thu Jan 19 20:25:34 CET 2006
865 - setuid/setgid operation is now _encouraged_: security has been
866 improved by moving privileged operations into a separate process
867 and permanently dropping privileges within the terminal. This
868 makes it possible to remove security checks from the perl code
869 and gives a much safer feeling when urxvt needs to run with
870 special privileges.
871 - perl taint checking disabled, as urxvt no longer runs setuid/setgid
872 itself.
873 - new perl extension automove-background that can be used to get
874 the same effect as pseudo-transparency with any pixmap.
875 - new perl extension example: perl/selection-pastebin, can be used to
876 e.g. upload the selection to a webserver and generate a url, or
877 similar stuff.
878 - use the scrollback buffer even when the scroll region doesn't
879 span the whole screen, as long as it starts at row 0. Helps
880 for programs displaying a status line at the bottom.
881 - selection popup now shows selection in dec/hex/oct.
882 - perl/selection: matching on unicode characters in the selection
883 code was O(n²), which equals infinity in some degenerate cases
884 :-> Matching is now done on UTF-8, which makes it almost instant.
885 - perl/selection, perl/selection-autotransform: regexes are now
886 being interpreted in the locale urxvt was started.
887 - implemented override-redirect option and enabled it on menus,
888 as kwin puts our windows behind the terminal (what a shoddy wm).
889 - fixed struct utmp check in configure for OpenBSD.
890 - complete overhaul of the pty/utmp management stuff and configure
891 (Emanuele Giaquinta=exg).
892 - add tsl/fsl and related capabilities to the terminfo description,
893 to set the window title.
894 - swap the environment in some more cases. This hopefully fixes
895 some segfaults that might be caused by xft asking for env variables
896 at the wrong time.
897 - removed src/strings.C and src/menubar.C. No menubar support
898 anymore.
899 - removed all traces of SMOOTH_REFRESH.
900 - nuked QNX support.
901 - made some fixes to xpm offset and scaling code.
902 - perl-overlays and refresh hooks were not applied in correct order.
903 - changed coordinate-system of view_start/nsaved to be top to bottom.
904 - iom extended to support listening for child exits.
905
9067.0 Fri Jan 13 14:02:18 CET 2006
907 - added sections for DISTRIBUTION MAINTAINERS and about
908 SETUID/SETGID to the FAQ.
909 - selection, searchable-scrollback, selection-popup and
910 option-popup extensions enabled by default.
911 - increased xft drawing speed for problematic fonts. The effect
912 will likely be small as 99% of the xft slowness is server-related.
913 - perl: much increased functionality, better overlays, popup support
914 and much much more.
915 - perl: urxvt::line now can set via ->t and ->r.
916 - perl: changed interpretation of --perl-ext-common and -pe.
917 - perl: finally implemented --perl-eval.
918 - perl: non-blocking anyevent support.
919 - perl: run tainted and ignore perl-eval/perl-lib if started
920 setuid/setgid.
921 - free the resource database: this plugs a massive memory leak. As a
922 side effect, it also gets rid of XGetDefault calls.
923 - free one of the cursors, fixes a small memory leak.
924 - built-in (as opposed to terminfos) visual bell was broken/too fast.
925 - applied minor cleanups by Ladislav Michnovic.
926 - applied pty handling cleanups and improvements (Emanuele Giaquinta).
927 - mark-urls launch-on-click by jepler.
928 - removed "small" resource parsing function, as it wasn't really
929 compatible, and not really small either.
930 - removed PATH_ENV and PATH file search support.
931 - removed support for locale-specific app-defaults file.
932 - fixed a bug where out-of-bounds colour sequences could lead
933 to crashes.
934 - limit colour changing to the standard 88 palette instead of all
935 colours.
936 - XTerm_Color01 sequence returned wrong results in query mode.
937 - iom.C now checks against destructed io_manager when unregistering.
938
9396.3 Wed Jan 4 22:37:10 CET 2006
940 - SECURITY FIX: on systems using openpty, permissions were
941 not correctly updated on the tty device and were left as
942 world-readable and world-writable (likely in original rxvt,
943 too), and were not restored properly. Affected are only
944 systems where non-unix ptys were used (such as most BSDs, not
945 GNU/Linux). (found, patched and debugged by Ryan Beasley).
946 - meta8 support was forcefully enabled in most configurations.
947 restored configurability of this (useless) feature (reported
948 by Mikachu).
949 - optionally embed a perl interpreter, which can be used for more
950 intelligent/customized selection support, visual feedback,
951 menus, tabs etc. See the the urxvtperl manpage, the -pe option,
952 perl*-resources and keysym resources. Not everything is there yet.
953 - try to be more clever about differing font sizes and their ascent.
954 Not guaranteed to work, but works better in most cases now.
955 - fix directory permissions on install.
956 - implemented option to disable built-in line drawing characters
957 and fall back to the font ones (patch by Martin Pohlack).
958 - disabled sched_yield support: the linux version is just too useless
959 (it schedules nice'd processes before the own one for extended
960 periods). Too bad, it could reduce system time by a factor of 5 here.
961
9626.2 Mon Jan 2 16:03:01 CET 2006
963 - implemented intensityStyles option which enables/disables bold/blink
964 selecting high intensity foreground/background colours, suggested by
965 Chuck Blake.
966 - move iso14755 character feedback box out of the way if it would
967 obscure the mouse cursor position.
968 - replaced callback.h by a fixed version from gvpe that correctly
969 returns the callback result (affects new -pty-fd semantics in urxvtc
970 on a few architectures). Reported by darix.
971 - include one trailing space in rectangular selections to indicate
972 the inserted newline (yeah, weird, but visually more pleasing).
973 - try to use sched_yield to (drastically) improve terminal data
974 transfer efficiency.
975 - further minor cleanups.
976
9776.1 Tue Dec 27 13:23:40 CET 2005
978 - update iso8859-7 table (euro and drachma round-trip et al.).
979 - fix a crash when the selection scrolls out of the scrollback
980 while the user still drags.
981 - selections that were partially scrolled out of the window were
982 not drawn correctly.
983 - lines newly scrolled in were not initialized properly, leading
984 to extremely long lines and (hopefully) some segfaults.
985 - iso14755 overlay position was wrong.
986 - iso14755 overlay now displays rendition info, too.
987 - use unicode white space class instead of hardcoded values for
988 stripping whitespace.
989 - do whitespace stripping on rectangular selections.
990 - slight cleanups in src/features.h.
991
9926.0 Sat Dec 24 13:58:56 CET 2005
993 - make it compile without SMART_RESIZE again.
994 - enable slow link support by default.
995 - fix relative cursor-positioning not respecting scrolling regions
996 (also a bug in original rxvt).
997 - initialize termios structure to zero when fetching it fails
998 (see http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=84647 for a
999 partial patch).
1000 - bump max columns/rows to 10000 each.
1001 - bump max savelines to 10000000.
1002 - -pty-fd now passes the urxvtc fd to the urxvtd process.
1003 - avoid linking against -lnsl/-lsocket/-lxpg4 unless necessary.
1004 - major code cleanup (still not complete, though).
1005 - implement -hold option.
1006 - _major_ rewrite of internal buffer handling:
1007 - re-flow on resize, lines get wrapped instead of winged.
1008 - circular line buffer (substantially speeds up scrolling).
1009 - slightly less code + data memory usage per terminal.
1010 - slight overall speed improvements.
1011 - considerably improved code clarity.
1012 - partial-screen scrolls no longer end up in the scrollback
1013 buffer.
1014
10155.9 Sat Dec 17 21:53:17 CET 2005
1016 - fix a bug in the menu code of unknown impact, found by darix.
1017 - clean up signal handling to be global, not per terminal
1018 (matters only for rxvtd).
1019 - fix small typoe in rxvt.1 (found by Mike Fabian).
1020 - don't crash when broken xft/fontconfig/freetype versions return
1021 bogus data, ignore the xft font instead (experienced on suse).
1022
10235.8 Tue Oct 25 22:21:45 CEST 2005
1024 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: many configure options are now on by default.
1025 If you want the old behaviour, try:
1026 configure --disable-everything <your enable options>
1027 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: -fade changed its meaning to comply with
1028 the documentation and common sense: when upgrading, replace your
1029 percentage by 100-percentage.
1030 - integrated "fade to specific colour" patch by Martin Parm.
1031 - slow down the internal visual bell (delay by 20ms) and update
1032 the terminfo flash code to use the same delay. This is
1033 synchronous, so many bells might inhibit screen updates in other
1034 windows.
1035 - text with background==foreground colour gets displayed with default
1036 bg/fg now when in reverse video, so it can be seen when selecting.
1037 - allow koi8r* as x11 encoding name for koi8r (Nikita Danilov).
1038 - removed undocumented inheritPixmapforce option.
1039 - replaced INSTALL file.
1040
10415.7 Wed Jul 13 04:46:33 CEST 2005
1042 - implement some useful (hopefully) options for rxvtd.
1043 - separate and improved rxvtc(1) and rxvtd(1) manpages.
1044 - fix a bug that caused segfaults on startup on systems that do
1045 not support local unix connections, e.g cygwin. (btw, I didn't
1046 even know about the -rootless and -multiwindow Cygwin/X modes).
1047 - large amounts of text without control sequences or newlines
1048 could almost freeze output. This has been fixed by adding extra
1049 refreshes in these cases (also a problem in original rxvt).
1050
10515.6 Sun Jun 26 22:11:13 CEST 2005
1052 - R_SB_RXVT bitset value was 0, so rxvt scrollbar was initialised
1053 every time resulting in display errors (original rxvt also affected).
1054 Reported by Jasmin Buchert.
1055 - font names are now considered to be utf-8 encoded (xft apparently
1056 uses this convention. X Core fonts might not, but it should be rare).
1057 Affects display in iso14755 box.
1058 - rewrote the low-level xft drawing function ("xft backend" for the
1059 hipper parts of the world) to hopefully cope better with proportional
1060 chars mixed with fixed-width ones.
1061 - rxvt is now much more careful (read: slower) with potentially
1062 overlapping xft characters. It usually overshoots and redraws
1063 more than required, but that's better than undershooting and
1064 cutting pieces off of characters.
1065 - rxvt is now more restrictive in what font heights it accepts for
1066 fonts that will likely overshoot or undershoot lines.
1067 - fix a cosmetic problem with the unfocused cursor on a wide character
1068 at the end of the line (reported by Mikachu).
1069 - wide characters not fitting into the end of the line will be
1070 output in the next line (reported by Mikachu).
1071 - added doc/solaris9.patch by Ewgenij Starostin.
1072
10735.5 Sat Apr 23 22:31:36 CEST 2005
1074 - re-enabled modifier state matching as in 5.3, but implement
1075 a new builtin: keysym style that simply reverts to the built-in
1076 meaning of the given key.
1077 - use scrollcolor for next scrollbar instead of hardcoded antiquewhite
1078 (patch by Martin Edlman).
1079
10805.4 Mon Apr 18 00:33:31 CEST 2005
1081 - match modifier state exactly in custom keyboard code.
1082 this is necessary because it has no knowledge about
1083 built-in mappings and so will overwrite them. the priority-code
1084 will be re-enabled when this has changed, so watch out.
1085 - cursor blinking now depends on frills.
1086 - underline cursor mode (frills, -uc).
1087 - implement special value (*g*) for pointerBlankDelay
1088 to disable it.
