41 - Add DECSCUSR xterm extension to set the cursor to a vertical bar.
42 - Add -mc option and multiClickTime resource to set the maximum time
43 between multi-click select events (patch by Joe Peterson).
44 - New 'eval' extension to evaluate arbitrary perl code with keysym
45 bindings. The extension also provides methods that implement basic
46 actions, such as pasting selections and scrolling.
47 - the macosx-clipboard and macosx-clipboard-native extensions have been removed.
48 - the keysym-list extension has been removed, you can use the following
49 perl one-liner to expand your existing .Xdefaults file to do without it:
50 - kuake extension now uses the kuake.hotkey resource to specify the hotkey.
51 - new 'matcher:select' mode of matcher to iterate over the matches with the keyboard.
52 - the 'matcher:list' feature of matcher now honours the launcher
53 associated to a matched pattern.
54 - fix up/down commands of searchable scrollback so that they always move
55 to the previous/next logical line with a match, if any.
56 - searchable-scrollback resource has been deprecated (use keysym instead).
57 - extension parameter passing is deprecated (use resource mechanism instead).
58 - upgrade to GPLv3 (see COPYING).
59 - Fix height and position of the stippled area in next scrollbar (patch
60 by Thomas Otto).
61 - fix off-by-one bug causing the iso14755 window not to jump out of the
62 way properly.
63
649.20 Sat Apr 26 16:22:27 CEST 2014
65 - (libptytty) fix bug that prevented urxvtd from writing utmp
66 entries when using --fork (reported by Ryan Kavanagh).
67 - security bugfix: window property values could be queried even
68 in secure mode (reported by Conor McCarthy).
69 - fix build when perl is enabled and fading is disabled.
70 - fix regression that broke continuous scrolling when pressing
71 and holding the scrollbar up or down button, gentoo bug #493992.
72 - increase the maximum length of a command sequence to 32k bytes,
73 to allow longer OSC sequences (previous limit was 2k).
74 - new Ctrl-Meta-c and Ctrl-Meta-v bindings to interact with
75 the CLIPBOARD selection.
76 - new extension: selection-to-clipboard.
77 - the extensions macosx-clipboard and macosx-clipboard-native
78 are deprecated and will be removed in the next release.
79 Support for the clipboard on OS X can be more generally
80 enabled by setting the XQuartz preference to sync the OS X
81 pasteboard and the X11 clipboard.
82
839.19 Sun Oct 27 17:16:07 CET 2013
84 - work around perl 5.18.0 breakage in tabbed extension
85 (reported by Karol Blazewicz) and in pod (Dominic Hargreaves).
86 - fix regression that caused the double-click word selection to
87 erroneously include a tab on the left of the selected word.
88 - implement FOCUS variable and focus_fade function in background
89 expression, to allow focus-sensitive background images.
90 - add support for the set cursor style (DECSCUSR) control
91 function.
92 - honour cursorColor also when the cursor style is underline.
93 - export some Color_xxx constants to Perl.
94
959.18 Sun Mar 24 15:33:35 CET 2013
96 - fix regression that caused artifacts on resize.
97
989.17 Fri Mar 1 13:46:08 CET 2013
99 - add shade operator in background perl extension.
100 - avoid starting or ending the selection in the middle of wide
101 characters to avoid artifacts (reported by Tiago Resende).
102 - fix artifacts that may occur if the character in the cursor
103 cell has width > 1 (reported by Tiago Resende).
104 - fix regression that causes artifacts on scrolling if
105 saveLines is 0 and the window is resized (reported by Bert
106 Münnich).
107 - fix build when perl is enabled and pixbuf and transparency
108 are disabled.
109
1109.16 Thu Dec 27 11:56:43 CET 2012
111 - the "so much new stuff your eyes will pop out" release.
112 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: renamed urlLauncher resource to url-launcher.
113 - fix processing of DEC private mode save sequences (patch by Patrick
114 Hemmer).
115 - perl extensions now have their own manpages, installed as urxvt-NAME(1),
116 e.g. urxvt-background(1) - see urxvt-extensions(1) for a list.
117 - fix disabling of cursor blink with the option-popup menu (based on a
118 patch by Jan Larres).
119 - the font height is not augmented anymore when lineSpace is non zero.
120 - fix "new pagemap" vs. "delete pagemap" mismatch ([] vs. non-[]),
121 as diagnosed by clang.
122 - fix height mismatch between active and inactive cursor when
123 lineSpace is non zero (patch by Stanislav Seletskiy).
124 - make it compile with LOCAL_X_IS_UNIX again (reported by
125 nickfailure@gmail.com).
126 - completely redone background pixmap support - users can now
127 specify arbitrary expressions (And programs) that calculate
128 new terminal backgrounds. see the urxvt-background manpage
129 for details.
130 - xrender is now required for background pixmap support.
131 - perl extensions can now provide commandline switches and resources
132 which show up in -help etc.
133 - iso14755 51 mode window now displays row and column.
134 - implement a -visual switch and move that and -depth to frills, also
135 warn when we can't get the requested visual.
136 - new env variable: RXVT_PERL_LIB.
137 - allocate all screen memory in one go and let the virtual memory
138 subsystem sort it out. this simplifies code, improves access
139 locality, saves a bit of ram and makes things a bit faster, too.
140 - remove support for libafterimage.
141 - update to CVS version of libev, for a whopping 11kb size decrease.
142 - do not ship yet another copy of ecb.h, use the one in libev or
143 libptytty instead.
144 - selectively mark some methods as cache-hot/cache cold, which
145 might speed up execution but definitely decreases codesize.
146 - Fix regression that prevented the scrollbar trough color
147 from being applied (reported by Derek B. Noonburg).
148 - Fix the scrollbar size for rxvt style (patch by Mark Robinson).
149
1509.15 Sat Jan 21 13:36:56 CET 2012
151 - remove "using namespace std" because clang erroneously
152 thinks thats an error.
153 - finding a matching font (e.g. bold version of the base font)
154 was broken (reported by Eamon Walker).
155 - fix parsing of bg image styles. They really work now.
156 - fix blurring of bg image borders when using xrender.
157 - fix xrender blur on common xrender implementations that do
158 not behave correctly when the same pixmap is used as source
159 and destination in composite operations.
160 - fix regression that caused tabbed to compute the wrong size
161 for tabs.
162 - allow again an empty suffix in a keysym list spec (patch by
163 Sung Pae).
164 - unsupported support for sun studio's CC added.
165 - fix -C option on solaris.
166
1679.14 Wed Dec 21 18:40:33 CET 2011
168 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: the urxvtd default socket path is now
169 $HOME/.urxvt/urxvtd-<nodename>.
170 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: the "list" keysym expansion now requires
171 loading of the "keysym-list" perl extension.
172 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: A scale value of 0 in the bg image
173 geometry no longer enables tiling, so as to make it possible
174 to disable both scaling and tiling.
175 - overhaul of the bg image operations. The old operations have
176 been deprecated in favour of elementary operations and
177 styles built on top of the new operations and scale/position
178 settings. (Emanuele Giaquinta).
179 - support for libafterimage is deprecated and will be removed
180 in the next release.
181 - fix a crash caused by selection_check not properly resetting
182 out-of-bounds mark values (can happen when extending a selection
183 while scrolling up in curses programs for example).
184 - do not move the selection when scrolling up and the selection is
185 outside the scrolling region (Emanuele Giaquinta).
186 - fix display of bold bright black (reported by Ben Winslow).
187 - fix memory leak when urgentOnBell is set (patch by Nathaniel
188 Filardo).
189 - fix a redraw bug that occurs when a bg pixmap is set and the
190 wm does not honour the size hints set by urxvt. Now urxvt
191 forces the size of the terminal window to be a multiple of
192 the cell size.
193 - sanitise the argument of SD / SU sequences. Fixes a possible
194 crash when the argument is big enough, red hat bug #711137
195 (Emanuele Giaquinta).
196 - correctly split long lines when scrolling.
197 - urxvt now looks for perl extensions also in $HOME/.urxvt/ext.
198 - add bell-command perl extension to execute a command when a
199 bell event occurs (Ryan Kavanagh).
200 - add set_urgency perl binding to set/reset the urgency hint.
201 - consume button release event in matcher (exg).
202 - keyboard accessible list of recent matches in matcher
203 (Bob Farrell).
204 - properly process 'keysym' sequences in tabbed when using
205 'focus follows mouse' and the focus is on the main window
206 but not on the active terminal window (patch by Martin
207 Pohlack).
208 - support for the freedesktop startup-notification protocol (patch by
209 Michael Stapelberg).
210 - the direction of VPR and VPB commands was reversed.
211 - fix alignment of inherited root pixmap when it is a different size
212 than the root window and the terminal window is off the left or top
213 edge (Mikachu).
214 - make $self visible in "eval perl expression" popup action, also
215 handle exceptions better.
216 - fix parsing of '-e' when it occurs as an option argument, such as in
217 'urxvt -title -e' (Emanuele Giaquinta).
218
2199.12 Wed Jun 29 14:34:28 CEST 2011
220 - fix regression in processing of SelectionNotify events.
221 urxvt would fail to request a selection if the owner did not
222 support the UTF8_STRING target.
223 - fix rendering of double width chars in certain circumstances, more
224 likely to happen if urxvt is compiled with 256 colors support as
225 urxvt runs out of fonts much earlier then. Fixes gentoo bug #358151
226 (Emanuele Giaquinta).
227 - restore support for 'list' syntax in keysym resources (requested by Sung Pae).
228 - always premultiply colour values - while this increases differences between
229 core fonts and xft, it is "more correct" in practical situations.
230 - disable PTYTTY_REENTRANT option - not needed for urxvt and saves a bit of code.
231 - remove lucidatypewriter from the list of fallback fonts, it was the only
232 non-xft non-cellfont in the list anyway.
233
2349.11 Mon May 2 10:34:46 CEST 2011
235 - fix compilation on GNU/Hurd, debian bug #624736.
236 - remove 'list' syntax for keysym resources, as it serves no useful purpose.
237 If you need it, poke us and provide a use case.
238 - fix alpha channel support. Premultiply alpha in colours if the visual
239 supports an alpha channel, as xrender expects premultiplied alpha
240 (Emanuele Giaquinta).
241 - fix reply to a selection request sent by an obsolete client
242 such as syncterm (patch by Marcin Cieslak).
243 - fix crash when the window is resized and the overlay is active
244 (Emanuele Giaquinta, reported by Ryan Kavanagh).
245 - match character-wise rather than byte-wise in selection
246 extension again. perl 5.8.9+ is required to avoid extreme
247 slowdowns. Fixes debian bugs #523072, #616463.
248 - fix a possible crash if the INCR transfer process for a
249 selection property timeouts and at least one chunk is
250 received. (Emanuele Giaquinta)
251 - work around a memory corruption bug in xorg's XrmSetDatabase (apparently
252 broken since http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/xorg-commit-diffs/2004-March/000239.html).
253 - fix memory corruption bug when custom command sequences bound to keys
254 were injected into an already-full pty input buffer.
255 - gdk-pixbuf is autodetected by default and preferred over libafterimage.
256 - do not prepend a newline to the selection text when the starting line
257 of the selection is not highlighted (Emanuele Giaquinta).
258 - don't swap perl env with real env, save and restore it, just in case
259 we ever get recursive perl invocations. also saves a bit of codespace
260 with gcc.
261 - fix various memory leaks (Emanuele Giaquinta).
262 - fix typo in kIC terminfo capability, debian bug #446444.
263 - document 'thickness' resource.
264 - fix debian bug #504817, to the extent possible.
265 - try to detect byte order at compile time, saves a couple of
266 hundred bytes, if your compiler is smart enough.
267 - add support for previewing the pasted data in confirm-paste
268 (Emanuele Giaquinta).
269 - added "newlines to spaces" option in selection-popup.
270 - actually enabled solaris event ports backend (was disabled by accident).
271 - revert to 38400 baud max., mission accomplished.
272 - no longer create scary "pty_fill: PLEASE REPORT" message, instead,
273 silently drain the input (problem is well understood now).
274 - no longer swallow rob nation's own graphics mode commands.
275
2769.10 Mon Dec 13 17:43:52 CET 2010
277 - the "schmorp=north korea dickey=south korea" release.
278 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: make OSC 20 simpler and more correct
279 (Emanuele Giaquinta).
280 - if options were compiled out, this could lead to the option
281 count to be defined wrongly. This is likely behind the
282 failures with gcc 4.5.
283 - explicitly depend on fontconfig and xrender when xft support
284 is enabled. Although the public Xft api uses types from
285 both, in Xft 2.2.0 these libs are private
286 dependencies only thanks to an idiotic behaviour of
287 pkg-config that was added to workaround cases like this one.
288 Fixes linking when using GNU ld with --as-needed or GNU gold
289 (based on patch by Jan Palus).
290 - fix minor memory leaks in urxvt and urxvtd.
291 - fix regression in urxvtd that prevented options from being correctly
292 set (reported by Michal Vaner).
293 - implement xterm's horribly broken 1005 mouse reporting mode,
294 and an alternative 1015 mode that works in non-utf-8 locales
295 and has fewer limitations.
296 - fix a possible bug where mouse notifications didn't work after
297 startup for the upper left corner.
298 - implement our own pixbuf to pixmap rendering to get rid of
299 dependency on buggy gdk-pixbuf-xlib. Only truecolor visuals
300 are supported (Emanuele Giaquinta).
301 - apply tinting before shading when both operations are requested.
302 Previously they were intermixed when lightening and the result
303 was inaccurate and confusing. Note that now a black tint yields a
304 completely black image, regardless of shading (Emanuele Giaquinta).
305 - avoid spurious redraws of the bg image when bg is transparent or
306 when using 'root' mode (Emanuele Giaquinta).
307 - fix build on XFree86.
308 - dynamically number options according to compiletime requirements.
309 For the extra saved byte. Or so. Yay.
310 - start options at one, not zero. Wastes a bit per terminal. Maybe.
311 saves 50 instruction bytes. Possibly.
312
3139.09 Sat Nov 13 01:39:07 CET 2010
314 - NOTICE: this release updates terminfo/termcap.
315 - the bestest release ever.
316 - it was verified that urxvt handles µ and μ correctly.
317 - add support for blending and blurring with XRender (Emanuele Giaquinta).
318 - add support for using gdk-pixbuf as image backend (Emanuele Giaquinta).
319 - cleanup and minor fixes of the image code (Emanuele Giaquinta).
320 - new perl extension "confirm-paste" (Emanuele Giaquinta).
321 - new on_tt_paste perl hook and tt_paste perl binding (Emanuele Giaquinta).
322 - new on_bell perl hook (Emanuele Giaquinta).
323 - searchable-scrollback no longer ignores the first line
324 (Emanuele Giaquinta).
325 - properly set VSTATUS in termios for *BSD (reported by Ed Schouten).
326 - fix utmpx detection on upcoming FreeBSD 9.
327 - Use COMPOUND_TEXT encoding for WM_NAME/WM_ICON_NAME value when it
328 is not fully convertible to STRING (patch by James Cloos).
329 - fix a buffer overflow that would cause wrong key sequences to
330 be generated for numpad keys (introduced in 9.05).
331 - fix definition of sgr0 to work around limitations in luit.
332 - extend ISO 14755 5.4 mode to also print the font name of the
333 characters other than first one in the selected cell
334 (Emanuele Giaquinta).
335 - new iso14755 option to disable ISO 14755 at runtime
336 (Emanuele Giaquinta).
337 - make sure pagewise scrolling scrolls at least one line
338 (found by Mikachu).
339 - remove deprecated OSC 18 / 19 and make OSC 17 / 19 apply to
340 highlightColor / highlightTextColor (Emanuele Giaquinta).
341 - add highlightTextColor resource to change the foreground colour of
342 highlighted characters (Emanuele Giaquinta).
343 - make highlightColor apply also to selected cells with reverse video
344 but not to non selected cells with reverse video (Emanuele Giaquinta).
345 - remove colorRV resource (it was enabled only with frills off).
346 - fix numlock handling, the most longstanding bug to date (Emanuele Giaquinta).
347 - reduce the number of custom bits to 4, to make room
348 for 256 colours.
349 - add support for 256 colors (Emanuele Giaquinta, Marc Lehmann).
350 - add rxvt-unicode-256color terminfo and use it by default in 256 colors mode.
351 - update rxvt-unicode terminfo to state 7744 colour pairs to cover all
352 88*88 possible pairs.
353 - actually added macosx-clipboard-native, which should have been in
354 the 9.07 release but had been forgotten.
355 - fix hang if DECAWM is not set and there are not enough columns to insert a
356 character (Emanuele Giaquinta).
357 - cub1 ("backspace") will now respect wrapping when past the rightmost column,
358 working around a shortcoming of most tty line discipline's line editing.
359 - add support for grabbing the clipboard selection and extend
360 selection{_clear,_grab,} perl bindings to optionally work
361 on the clipboard selection (based on patch by Dana Jansens).
362 - no longer force CERASE to BACKSPACE - use the system default. affects
363 default value for VERASE only when no compatible setting for
364 backspacekey was given.
365 - use higher than 38400 baudrate setting, if detected.
366 - erase screen would clear to the wrong background when blinking
367 was enabled (which selects high intensity under some circumstances).
368 - scr_kill_char didn't touch the line.
369 - upgrade and port to libev-4.01.
370 - enabled solaris event ports and kqueue backends (if available).
371
3729.07 Wed Dec 30 07:07:18 CET 2009
373 - port to glibc-2.10 changes (strchr etc. returning const char *
374 in C++), based on patches by Milos Jakubicek and Oliver Mader.
375 - the binary search algorithm to find precomposed characters
376 was faulty, skipping some possible combinations (found by
377 Mikachu).
378 - new -letterspace option, patch by Mark H. Wilkinson.
379 - enable --mlock option for urxvt with frills on
380 systems supporting it (patch by Russell Harmon).
381 - urxvt did not compile without frills enabled
382 (analysed by Matthew Rosewarne).
383 - correctly reset the mbstate after an illegal
384 input sequence when handling terminal output (Emanuele Giaquinta).
385 - avoid redrawing wide characters with combining enabled on every
386 refresh (reported by Mikachu).
387 - fix a typo preventing the ISO-646.1991 character set from being
388 recognized (http://achurch.org/patch-pile/).
389 - better warning for x11 font encoding detection failures, also,
390 try to deduce encoding from both font properties and name
391 (adapted from http://achurch.org/patch-pile/).
392 - resizing the window with the scrollbar disabled via the escapes
393 sequence could make the window bigger again (Mikachu).
394 - make sure the alignment for fd passing control messages
395 is correct and work around some NetBSD issues (Taylor R Campbell).
396 - update to libptytty 1.3.
397 - replace macosx-clipboard by a nicer version by Reza Jelveh, and move
398 the old version to macosx-clipboard-native.
399 - document the -uc option (Emanuele Giaquinta).
400 - assertions in libev are now enabled depending on frills.
401 - update AnyEvent implementation to version 5.23 API.
402 - work around arrogant bsd idiocies again: netbsd spills the default
403 namespace with lots of symbols "for gnu/gcc compatibility" even
404 though neither of them does it, and then calls the rest of the world
405 in need of fixing. go figure.
406 - on_keyboard_command is on_user_command (patch by Michael Witten).
407 - setting the selection from perl will now reset the selection screen
408 to the current screen. the screen can be manipulated using
409 the new ->selection_screen method.
410 - implement --enable-assert configure option and get rid of DEBUG_STRICT
411 (based on patch by Emanuele Giaquinta).
412 - fix printpipe data output (patch by Emanuele Giaquinta).
413 - allow `xxx' quoting style for perl selection.
414 - upgrade to libev-3.9 prerelease.
415 - updated compose tables to unicode 5.2.0.
416
4179.06 Sat Nov 8 17:47:18 CET 2008
418 - NOTICE: this release updates terminfo/termcap.
419 - updates libev to 3.48.
420 - the aterm code now frees the as visual and image manager objects
421 when a window was closed.
422 - do not (wrongly) adjust the virtual line length inside
423 scr_insdel_chars/ERASE (Miroslav Lichvar).
424 - fix an issue where wide tab characters caused character shifts
425 when part of them was deleted (tracked down by Miroslav Lichvar).
426 - artificially enlargen the previous character at the end of a line
427 when trying to output a character that doesn't fit. looks ugly, but
428 makes copy&paste work.
429 - remove bogus "setuid/setgid security issues" from rxvt.1.pod, they
430 no longer apply.
431 - the urgency hint is now cleared on both focus in and focus out.
432 - cache urgency hint locally to avoid server rtt on every focus change.
433 - perl 5.10 needs PERL_SYS_INIT3 on hppa.
434 - ignore byte-order marks and do not treat them like combining characters.
435 - fix build issue when CURSOR_BLINK is not defined (Emanuele Giaquinta).
436 - do some µ-optimisations to the character fast path.
437 - use a less cunning, but more robust algorithm to avoid one terminal
438 monopolising the whole process by outputting a lot of text.
439 - try to work around linux first breaking sched_yield and now breaking
440 the only known workaround.
441 - new option -icon to set _NET_WM_ICON (based on patch by Frank Schmitt).
442 - initialise the as visual only on demand, instead of unconditionally,
443 to save memory in the common case of not using visual gimmicks.
444 - try to work around bugs in a few wm's that erroneously resize
445 client windows on hint property updates by temporarily
446 disabling size hints.
447 - implement the DECSTR soft reset sequence and use it for tput init,
448 and make hard RIS and DECSTR both reset more private modes, such
449 as mouse reporting.
450 - redundantly clear mouse reporting and a few other states in
451 tput init/tput reset, for older urxvts.
452 - partial/full clear screens did cause flickering and possibly pixel
453 droppings when urxvt viewed the scrollback buffer.
454 - use current rendition style in DCH sequence.
455 - the 132/80 mode switch no longer forces a screen reset.
456 - add an osc sequence to change the border colour (Emanuele Giaquinta).
457 - new perl extension "overlay-osc", for status displays and the like.
458 - fix some minor cursor drawing issues with overlays by allowing
459 overlays to modify screen flags (to disable the cursor themselves).
460 - work around programs not restoring rstyle before rmcup
461 (analysed by Miroslav Lichvar).
462

464 - new option --cd/chdir to set the starting working directory.
465 - tabbed extension now starts in the "correct" working directory.
466 - work around fedora 9 providing isastream but not the relevant
467 header file for it (report by Tuncer Ayaz).
468 - upgrade libev, fixing a bug in the select backend.
469 with more than 31 file descriptors on non-linux 64 bit systems.
470 - correctly reset the multibyte state to the initial one
471 after EILSEQ (patch by Neil Booth). This fixes the
472 issue of rxvt-unicode not properly displaying text after an illegal
473 sequence on NetBSD and probably other systems.
474 - more intelligent property handling with -pe tabbed, works around
475 broken window managers (kwm et al.), saves bandwidth and should
476 help working window managers as well.
477 - made tabs moveable (based on a patch by Petr Machata).
478 - implement ESC [ 3 K as a more rational alternative to ESC [ 0 K.
479 - support relative paths for RXVT_SOCKET in urxvtd.
480 - the tabbed extension now blindly copies over all (rxvt-) resources
481 from the toplevel window to the children.
482 - better diagnostic on 0x0 window geometries.
483 - update AnyEvent API to version 3.4 and above.
484 - document the default value of :0 for DISPLAY.
485 - rename perl method XChangeWindowProperty to XChangeProperty.
486
4879.02 Tue Jan 29 11:58:36 CET 2008
488 - the "exg makes everybody happy" release.
489 - fix build with !xft.
490 - always compile in plain style scrollbar (simplifies code and looks great).
491
4929.01 Sat Jan 26 20:49:27 CET 2008
493 - be more aggressive about handling X events, this seems to be required
494 with newer xlibs (should fix the "screen stays black until event is
495 received" problem, again :)
496 - add buffered resource to control xft double-buffering.
497
4989.0 Fri Jan 25 19:34:04 CET 2008
499 - fix a crash bug where urxvtd would crash when urxvtc was called
500 with wrong arguments (I wish debian maintainers in general would
501 report bugs and their proposed fixes to the original package maintainers
502 instead of sitting on them for good measure to see if anybody notices).
503 - drawing xft compose characters was causing garbage to be drawn.
504 - correctly clear xft character background in all cases.
505 - implement bracketed paste mode (xterm private mode 2004).
506 - improve documentation on alpha channel handling, make urxvt
507 work better on servers lacking the RENDER extension when alpha
508 channels or background images are used.
509 - check for refresh after initialising to avoid staying blank
510 till the first event arrives. or so.
511 - the FORCE_UNBUFFERED_XFT feature macro works again.
512 - continuously update transparency while moving/resizing now.
513 - OSC 39/49 are deprecated and aliased to OSC 10/11.
514 - cub1 now acts as advertised (and ignores the "wrapped" state).
515 - the 132/80 mode switch now forces a height of 24, too, and
516 resets the terminal.
517 - scrollbar code cleanups.
518 - stopping children is no longer confused with children exiting.
519 - removed (undocumented) #aarrggbb format.
520 - updated to libev 3.0.
521
5228.9 Mon Dec 24 07:51:40 CET 2007
523 - fix the issue where urxvtd would not immediately close a window
524 when the command exited but only on the next X event.
525 - changed terminfo file not to use application keypad mode.
526 - fix the issue where making a selection in one urxvtd window
527 would not clear it visually in another.
528 - fix an issue of urxvt not getting background pixmap updates
529 and flickering after bg pixmap changes (reported by Mikachu).
530 - fix redraw bug in xterm scrollbar with -sr (reported by Mikachu).
531 - correctly provide dependencies for libev (µikachu).
532 - minor code reorganisations and cleanups.
533 - be more robust in case the urxvt-popup extension cannot be loaded.
534
5358.8 Sat Dec 15 19:40:39 CET 2007
536 - option -C was aliased to all unsupported options, activating
537 options that shouldn't be compiled in, leading to interesting
538 effects.
539 - updated libev, working around a bug in linux 2.4, curing the
540 symptom of urxvt not closing its window on shell exit. also
541 fixes a problem with urxvt not refreshing.
542 - the text blink callback was called even when no blinking
543 text was visible.
544 - pre-8.4 slipwheeling behaviour has been reinstated, with
545 some minor improvements.
546 - streamlined x events processing to only flush once per
547 display and not once per terminal window.
548 - quite a bit of minor code cleanups and codesize optimisations.
549
5508.7 Sun Nov 25 10:23:49 CET 2007
551 - update libev with an important bugfix that would cause crashes
552 when closing windows (when using rxvtd, and update is recommended).
553 - do not compile in the block builtin graphics with --disable-frills.
554
5558.6 Fri Nov 23 14:10:57 CET 2007
556 - upgrade libev to disable kqueue on anything but netbsd as it
557 seems to be broken everywhere else w.r.t. ptys.
558 - allow for spurious event notifications, as at least epoll and
559 especially solaris ports like to lie about them (symptoms:
560 urxvt "hangs" until there is some x11 related activity).
561 - -keysym command line options are now subjected to xlib parsing.
562 - add 'xrm' option analogous to Xt one.
563
5648.5a Wed Nov 21 10:16:33 CET 2007
565 - make it compile with --disable-transparency.
566
5678.5 Wed Nov 21 05:19:20 CET 2007
568 - expect major portability issues in this release: please test and report.
569 - converted from the veritable io manager event loop to
570 the high performance libev (http://software.schmorp.de/pkg/libev).
571 - minor tuning to the perl selection (include single words and more quoting chars).
572 - fix memory leak in pixmap code.
573 - fix a serious bug while setting the XIM destroy callback
574 on (typical) 64 bit systems.
575 - automove-background functionality re-implemented internally using :root op in pixmap
576 geometry string. For example: rxvt -pixmap "image.jpg;:root"
577 - do not link rxvtc against every lib on the planet anymore.
578 - parallel builds should work once more.
579
5808.4 Sat Oct 27 14:02:13 CEST 2007
581 - overhaul of the transparency/pixmap code (sasha).
582 - fix possible race between visual bell and poweron.

585 - fixed some minor memleaks on incorrect usage or
586 missing DISPLAY.
587 - implement xterm 1002/1003 mouse tracking modes (exg).
588 - source code organisational cleanups (exg).
589 - updated io_manager.
590
5918.3 Wed Aug 1 20:21:31 CEST 2007
592 - new option: skipScroll/-ss, enabled by default.
593 - go with the times and expect x11 library files in /usr/lib, not
594 /usr/X11R6/lib.
595 - initial transparency improvement/afterimage support
596 patch by Sasha Vasko.
597 - add urgentOnBell resource to set the urgency hint
598 (patch by Philip Paeps).

603 digit (exg).
604 - better option handling, support more than 30 options (exg).
605 - nuke reconf script, serves no purpose anymore.
606 - fixed and documented matcher/on_user_command processing in matcher
607 extension (tpope).
608 - compile out of the box on Solaris 10 (exg).
609 - fix MappingNotify events (reported by Stephan Walter).
610 - zero-initialise mwmhints, this seems to solve all sorts of minor
611 problems.
612
6138.2 Sat Feb 17 21:35:28 CET 2007
614 - fix make depend in src/, reported by exg.
615 - fixed typo in urxvt::GET_CUSTOM, causing the result to be wrong.
616 (patch by Sergey Vlasov).
617 - unbundled iom perl interface somewhat.
618 - scrollbar-xterm now uses the selected scrollColor instead of fg
619 (found by Aiviru).
620 - disabled linux kernel bug workaround again: disabling it gives
621 a 50% speed hit on affected machines, while enabling it gives
622 a similar speed hit to screen, which is likely the more common
623 case to work around for :/
624 - urxvt::rend2mask perl function, and utilization of it by matcher
625 (patch by Moshe Kamensky).
626 - use perl:matcher on a keysym to open most recently displayed URL.
627 - with matcher, when multiple patterns match, last wins, not first.
628 - fix make and make install with srcdir != builddir (exg).
629 - updated bundled libptytty to fix a bug where the tty would be kept
630 open (see the libptytty ChangeLog for details).
631 - delay setting the IUTF8 flag to after the tty settings have been
632 set so its value does not get lost (reported and analysed by Andrei
633 Paskevich).
634 - rip out support for obsolete sgtty.h interface.
635 - rip out support for non-POSIX termios variants.
636 - update libptytty.
637 - update iom.C, make it call ptytty::sanitise_stdfd on init.
638 - when !XFT, change rounding of colours to use a less correct formula to
639 meet user expectancies (#aaa becomes #a000a000a000 not #9f9f9f9f9f9f).
640 - change the starting offset of the pixmap set with backgroundPixmap
641 from (50,50) to (0,0) (exg).
642 - fix a typo in button_release, now meta-button2 request the value of
643 the Clipboard selection as it should (patch by Serge Koksharov).
644 - fix a bug in drawing a cell with a nonspacing char when using an xft
645 font with inheritPixmap and tintColor (exg).
646
6478.1 Thu Dec 7 22:27:25 CET 2006
648 - ケリスマスプレゼント - zomg!!1, it's too early!!!
649 - fix the assumption that chars < 256 are single-width. Now
650 only assume this for codepoints 32 to 126 (reported by Dai.H.).
651 - $term->strwidth returned wide chars as width 1, because some jerk
652 confused min and max. Fixing this also fixes xim-onthespot.
653 Reported by Takano Akio.
654 - secondaryScroll is now enabled by default (as per the manpage),
655 reported by exg.
656 - correct the description of [percent]color rgba format in the manpage.
657 - incorporated macosx-clipboard extension by Samuel Ljungkvist.
658 - ignore (some) useless focus events (reported by mmc).
659 - updated compose table to unicode 5.0.0.
660
6618.0 Thu Nov 2 18:35:19 CET 2006
662 - combining characters cleared the area instead of creating an overlay,
663 thus losing the ability to draw combining characters properly in most
664 circumstances (reported by exg).
665 - specified fonts were incorrectly morphed to bold/italic according to the
666 basefont, even if explicitly specified (tracked down by tpope).
667 - fixed urxvt::strwidth to calculate width in the same way as screen.C.
668 - fix a crash caused by passing negative widths to overlay functions.
669 - added 'matcher' extension by tpope, replacing the mark-urls extension.
670 - improve url regex to match anything www.* (tpope).
671 - fixed bug with outline cursor color being wrong after xft fonts.
672 - update to libptytty-1.0.
673 - give proper diagnostic when RXVT_SOCKET is too long instead of
674 corrupting the stack (patch by exg).
675 - display current terminal locale in option menu.
676 - urxvtd no longer crashes when the client sends an inaccessible
677 working directory (reported by Roland Baer, possibly fixes gentoo
678 bug #143985).
679 - fixed many minor issues reported by Roland Baer.
680 - Leonid Khramov spotted a minor glitch in rxvtfont.C that
681 should not have any consequences, but was buggy nonetheless.
682 - manpage fix by exg.
683
6847.9 Mon Aug 7 18:16:07 CEST 2006
685 - fix the crashing bug people encountered with 7.8 + urxvtd + perl
686 + transparency. Ought to fix debian bug #380348.
687 - fix urxvtc.1.pod: it actually claimed -pty-fd would not work. But
688 it does! :->
689 - rxvt_fatal() in case the locale string is too long for our static buffer.
690 - fixed many, many, typos in the manpages (patch supplied by ves).
691
6927.8 Mon Jul 17 21:00:46 CEST 2006
693 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: this version will always read ~/.Xdefaults,
694 earlier versions only read it if display-resources (usually from
695 .Xresources) are not set. This avoids the #1 FAQ ("why isn't my
696 resource used") and seems to be logical behaviour, too. .Xdefaults
697 resources have a lower priority than display-specific resources.
698 - add "kuake" perl extension that does a similar thing to the kuake
699 terminal emulator (see man urxvtperl).
700 - use less "correct" color scaling that is compatible with libX11 and
701 Xft (avoids off-by-one colors resulting in striped backgrounds).
702 - the "depth" resource is now respected.
703 - preset the searchable-scrollback pattern with "(?i)" to default search
704 to case-insensitivity. Will automatically be cleared when typing an
705 uppercase character.
706 - add FORCE_UNBUFFERED_XFT define to features.h.
707 - re-enabled highlightcolor support with --enable-frills, based on
708 a patch by Martin Stubenschrott.
709 - double-buffered xft drawing did suffer from pixel offset issues
710 when pixmap transparency was enabled.
711 - strategically add # to the url-match regexes, as we really want to
712 match common URIs not common URLs. Reported by Aaron Griffin.
713 - moved on_osc_seq to on_osc_seq_perl and added a more
714 generic osc_seq.
715 - fix a bug causing double callback invocations when perl hooks
716 were invoked recursively.
717 - the automove-background extension now properly works when the
718 pixmap gets reset with an osc sequence (sqweek).
719 - selection-pastebin did not work properly with non-latin1-characters.
720 - apply colorUL only when the text colour is the default fg
721 (patch by Wu Fengguang).
722 - removed rxvtlib.h from the tarball, it had no reason to be there
723 (spotted by Decklin Foster).
724 - fix compiling with TRANSPARENT but !XPM_BACKGROUND, as reported
725 by omatunto_.
726 - slap in a using namespace std, might help on platforms that don't
727 follow C++ closely enough.
728 - fix mailto url regex, spotted within milliseconds by Jost Krieger.
729 - applied fade_color_update_func.patch by WU Fengguang.
730 - fix a bug where (due to an optimisation in av_delete), hiding the
731 bottom-most overlay would hide two overlays.
