419.22 Sun Oct 11 18:23:42 CEST 2015
42 - fix longstanding core font encoding bug where some character
43 ranges could not be mapped from unicode to the font: affected
44 encodings are big5, gb2312, iso8859-8 (hebrew), jis0201 and
45 ksc5601 (reported by Mikachu).
46 - fix crash when the number of columns is 1 and a 0 width character is inserted
47 (reported by Kuang-che Wu).
48 - fix a crash when parsing an invalid color specification (reported by Kuang-che Wu).
49 - fix a buffer overflow in font name parser (reported by Kuang-che Wu).
50 - do not start blinking cursor if the window is unfocused (reported by
51 Devin J. Pohly).
52 - change the width of underline and i-beam cursor to 2 pixels (based on
53 a patch by Omar Sandoval).
54 - add pointerShape resource to change the mouse pointer shape
55 (based on a patch by Brian Watson).
56 - a keysym resource for a key which is already bound to an
57 action now properly rebinds the key.
58 - do not report mouse motion events if Shift is active (patch by Daniel Hahler).
59 - put the alpha component last in responses to OSC color queries
60 (patch by Benjamin Herr).
61 - the key_press hook is now invoked before processing the
62 event, as documented. This change was done in 9.21 but not
63 announced and fixes debian bugs #511377, #531751 and red hat
64 bug #1105069. Note that this change breaks a few scripts,
65 such as mark-yank-urls, which rely on the previous buggy
66 behaviour that urxvt processes the event (in particular
67 keysym bindings) before invoking the hook.
68 - the tabbed extension now properly refreshes the active tab
69 on a key press when the mouse pointer is outside the terminal
70 window.
71 - add 'lookup_keysym' perl method to lookup the action bound
72 to a key combination.
73 - a key combination bound to 'matcher:select' can now be used
74 to cycle through the matches in matcher.
75 - change perl integer accessors (->width et al.) into mutators.
76
779.21 Wed Dec 31 14:50:03 CET 2014
78 - the "moa redraw 8-bit british vintage colour management" release.
79 - NOTICE: this release updates terminfo.
80 - fix pixel droppings on overdraw when a secondary core font has the
81 same height but different ascent.
82 - implement cvvis in terminfo as blinking cursor, to distinguish it
83 from cnorm (emacs uses cvvis which is commonly a blinking cursor).
84 - when xft support was compiled in, colour queries erroneously returned
85 premultiplied values, this also affected internal queries, for example
86 when calculating faded colour. alpha is now divided out when possible,
87 which is more correct but loses colour resolution.
88 - add DECSCUSR xterm extension to set the cursor to a vertical bar.
89 - add 'extension:string' action, and associated on_action perl
90 hook, for keysym resources that invokes actions provided by
91 perl extensions. The 'perl:string' action and
92 on_user_command hook are deprecated but still supported.
93 - add 'builtin-string' action for keysym resources that restores string
94 mappings for keys that have predefined actions in urxvt.
95 - add -k option to urxvtc for killing the daemon process.
96 - document urxvtd's -e/--eval option that was implemented in 9.16,
97 but not documented.
98 - add -dockapp option to make the wm treat urxvt as a dockapp.
99 - add -mc option and multiClickTime resource to set the maximum time
100 between multi-click select events (patch by Joe Peterson).
101 - new 'eval' extension to evaluate arbitrary perl code with keysym
102 bindings. The extension also provides methods that implement basic
103 actions, such as pasting selections and scrolling.
104 - the macosx-clipboard and macosx-clipboard-native extensions have been removed.
105 - kuake extension now uses the kuake.hotkey resource to specify the hotkey.
106 - new 'matcher:select' mode of matcher to iterate over the matches with the keyboard.
107 - the 'matcher:list' feature of matcher now honours the launcher
108 associated to a matched pattern.
109 - speed-up matcher underlining on very long lines (reported by Edward Z. Yang).
110 - fix up/down commands of searchable-scrollback so that they always move
111 to the previous/next logical line with a match, if any.
112 - searchable-scrollback resource has been deprecated (use keysym instead).
113 - extension parameter passing is deprecated (use resource mechanism instead).
114 - upgrade to GPLv3 (see COPYING).
115 - compile out of the box on Solaris 10, again.
116 - fix height and position of the stippled area in next scrollbar (patch
117 by Thomas Otto).
118 - fix off-by-one bug causing the iso14755 window not to jump out of the
119 way properly.
120 - fix crash that may happen if a lib to which urxvt is linked to calls setenv.
121 - fix memory leak in special_{encode,decode} perl methods.
122 - fix refresh bug that occurs when reverse video is set on a cell
123 containing a space and with the same bg and fg colour, red hat bug
124 #830236.
125 - fix crash that may happen if an x error is received after a terminal
126 window/popup has been destroyed already.
127 - removed superfluous 0 digit from sgr terminfo sequence.
128 - greatly improve colour allocation on colour-starved pseudocolour
129 displays to avoid read-write cells instead of simply failing
130 (this is only relevant for antique 8bpp frame buffers).
131 - do not free fade colours when not doing fading (this is likely
132 only relevant for antique 8bpp frame buffers).
133 - do not specialcase 2 or 4 colour visuals, leading to
134 simpler and actually more correct code.
135 - hopefully no longer leak colours on !truecolour visuals.
136 - use consistent method names (scr_recolour => scr_recolor).
137 - use simpler (but slightly less bogus) formula for nearest
138 colour choice (this is likely only relevant for antique 8bpp
139 frame buffers).
140 - remove fallback behaviour when initialising colours - the
141 behaviour was inconsistent between startup vs. later and
142 was only effective when valid colours couldn't be allocated.
143
1449.20 Sat Apr 26 16:22:27 CEST 2014
145 - (libptytty) fix bug that prevented urxvtd from writing utmp
146 entries when using --fork (reported by Ryan Kavanagh).
147 - security bugfix: window property values could be queried even
148 in secure mode (reported by Conor McCarthy).
149 - fix build when perl is enabled and fading is disabled.
150 - fix regression that broke continuous scrolling when pressing
151 and holding the scrollbar up or down button, gentoo bug #493992.
152 - increase the maximum length of a command sequence to 32k bytes,
153 to allow longer OSC sequences (previous limit was 2k).
154 - new Ctrl-Meta-c and Ctrl-Meta-v bindings to interact with
155 the CLIPBOARD selection.
156 - new extension: selection-to-clipboard.
157 - the extensions macosx-clipboard and macosx-clipboard-native
158 are deprecated and will be removed in the next release.
159 Support for the clipboard on OS X can be more generally
160 enabled by setting the XQuartz preference to sync the OS X
161 pasteboard and the X11 clipboard.
162
1639.19 Sun Oct 27 17:16:07 CET 2013
164 - work around perl 5.18.0 breakage in tabbed extension
165 (reported by Karol Blazewicz) and in pod (Dominic Hargreaves).
166 - fix regression that caused the double-click word selection to
167 erroneously include a tab on the left of the selected word.
168 - implement FOCUS variable and focus_fade function in background
169 expression, to allow focus-sensitive background images.
170 - add support for the set cursor style (DECSCUSR) control
171 function.
172 - honour cursorColor also when the cursor style is underline.
173 - export some Color_xxx constants to Perl.
174
1759.18 Sun Mar 24 15:33:35 CET 2013
176 - fix regression that caused artifacts on resize.
177
1789.17 Fri Mar 1 13:46:08 CET 2013
179 - add shade operator in background perl extension.
180 - avoid starting or ending the selection in the middle of wide
181 characters to avoid artifacts (reported by Tiago Resende).
182 - fix artifacts that may occur if the character in the cursor
183 cell has width > 1 (reported by Tiago Resende).
184 - fix regression that causes artifacts on scrolling if
185 saveLines is 0 and the window is resized (reported by Bert
186 Münnich).
187 - fix build when perl is enabled and pixbuf and transparency
188 are disabled.
189
1909.16 Thu Dec 27 11:56:43 CET 2012
191 - the "so much new stuff your eyes will pop out" release.
192 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: renamed urlLauncher resource to url-launcher.
193 - fix processing of DEC private mode save sequences (patch by Patrick
194 Hemmer).
195 - perl extensions now have their own manpages, installed as urxvt-NAME(1),
196 e.g. urxvt-background(1) - see urxvt-extensions(1) for a list.
197 - fix disabling of cursor blink with the option-popup menu (based on a
198 patch by Jan Larres).
199 - the font height is not augmented anymore when lineSpace is non zero.
200 - fix "new pagemap" vs. "delete pagemap" mismatch ([] vs. non-[]),
201 as diagnosed by clang.
202 - fix height mismatch between active and inactive cursor when
203 lineSpace is non zero (patch by Stanislav Seletskiy).
204 - make it compile with LOCAL_X_IS_UNIX again (reported by
205 nickfailure@gmail.com).
206 - completely redone background pixmap support - users can now
207 specify arbitrary expressions (And programs) that calculate
208 new terminal backgrounds. see the urxvt-background manpage
209 for details.
210 - xrender is now required for background pixmap support.
211 - perl extensions can now provide commandline switches and resources
212 which show up in -help etc.
213 - iso14755 51 mode window now displays row and column.
214 - implement a -visual switch and move that and -depth to frills, also
215 warn when we can't get the requested visual.
216 - new env variable: RXVT_PERL_LIB.
217 - allocate all screen memory in one go and let the virtual memory
218 subsystem sort it out. this simplifies code, improves access
219 locality, saves a bit of ram and makes things a bit faster, too.
220 - remove support for libafterimage.
221 - update to CVS version of libev, for a whopping 11kb size decrease.
222 - do not ship yet another copy of ecb.h, use the one in libev or
223 libptytty instead.
224 - selectively mark some methods as cache-hot/cache cold, which
225 might speed up execution but definitely decreases codesize.
226 - Fix regression that prevented the scrollbar trough color
227 from being applied (reported by Derek B. Noonburg).
228 - Fix the scrollbar size for rxvt style (patch by Mark Robinson).
229
2309.15 Sat Jan 21 13:36:56 CET 2012
231 - remove "using namespace std" because clang erroneously
232 thinks thats an error.
233 - finding a matching font (e.g. bold version of the base font)
234 was broken (reported by Eamon Walker).
235 - fix parsing of bg image styles. They really work now.
236 - fix blurring of bg image borders when using xrender.
237 - fix xrender blur on common xrender implementations that do
238 not behave correctly when the same pixmap is used as source
239 and destination in composite operations.
240 - fix regression that caused tabbed to compute the wrong size
241 for tabs.
242 - allow again an empty suffix in a keysym list spec (patch by
243 Sung Pae).
244 - unsupported support for sun studio's CC added.
245 - fix -C option on solaris.
246
2479.14 Wed Dec 21 18:40:33 CET 2011
248 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: the urxvtd default socket path is now
249 $HOME/.urxvt/urxvtd-<nodename>.
250 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: the "list" keysym expansion now requires
251 loading of the "keysym-list" perl extension.
252 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: A scale value of 0 in the bg image
253 geometry no longer enables tiling, so as to make it possible
254 to disable both scaling and tiling.
255 - overhaul of the bg image operations. The old operations have
256 been deprecated in favour of elementary operations and
257 styles built on top of the new operations and scale/position
258 settings. (Emanuele Giaquinta).
259 - support for libafterimage is deprecated and will be removed
260 in the next release.
261 - fix a crash caused by selection_check not properly resetting
262 out-of-bounds mark values (can happen when extending a selection
263 while scrolling up in curses programs for example).
264 - do not move the selection when scrolling up and the selection is
265 outside the scrolling region (Emanuele Giaquinta).
266 - fix display of bold bright black (reported by Ben Winslow).
267 - fix memory leak when urgentOnBell is set (patch by Nathaniel
268 Filardo).
269 - fix a redraw bug that occurs when a bg pixmap is set and the
270 wm does not honour the size hints set by urxvt. Now urxvt
271 forces the size of the terminal window to be a multiple of
272 the cell size.
273 - sanitise the argument of SD / SU sequences. Fixes a possible
274 crash when the argument is big enough, red hat bug #711137
275 (Emanuele Giaquinta).
276 - correctly split long lines when scrolling.
277 - urxvt now looks for perl extensions also in $HOME/.urxvt/ext.
278 - add bell-command perl extension to execute a command when a
279 bell event occurs (Ryan Kavanagh).
280 - add set_urgency perl binding to set/reset the urgency hint.
281 - consume button release event in matcher (exg).
282 - keyboard accessible list of recent matches in matcher
283 (Bob Farrell).
284 - properly process 'keysym' sequences in tabbed when using
285 'focus follows mouse' and the focus is on the main window
286 but not on the active terminal window (patch by Martin
287 Pohlack).
288 - support for the freedesktop startup-notification protocol (patch by
289 Michael Stapelberg).
290 - the direction of VPR and VPB commands was reversed.
291 - fix alignment of inherited root pixmap when it is a different size
292 than the root window and the terminal window is off the left or top
293 edge (Mikachu).
294 - make $self visible in "eval perl expression" popup action, also
295 handle exceptions better.
296 - fix parsing of '-e' when it occurs as an option argument, such as in
297 'urxvt -title -e' (Emanuele Giaquinta).
298
2999.12 Wed Jun 29 14:34:28 CEST 2011
300 - fix regression in processing of SelectionNotify events.
301 urxvt would fail to request a selection if the owner did not
302 support the UTF8_STRING target.
303 - fix rendering of double width chars in certain circumstances, more
304 likely to happen if urxvt is compiled with 256 colors support as
305 urxvt runs out of fonts much earlier then. Fixes gentoo bug #358151
306 (Emanuele Giaquinta).
307 - restore support for 'list' syntax in keysym resources (requested by Sung Pae).
308 - always premultiply colour values - while this increases differences between
309 core fonts and xft, it is "more correct" in practical situations.
310 - disable PTYTTY_REENTRANT option - not needed for urxvt and saves a bit of code.
311 - remove lucidatypewriter from the list of fallback fonts, it was the only
312 non-xft non-cellfont in the list anyway.
313
3149.11 Mon May 2 10:34:46 CEST 2011
315 - fix compilation on GNU/Hurd, debian bug #624736.
316 - remove 'list' syntax for keysym resources, as it serves no useful purpose.
317 If you need it, poke us and provide a use case.
318 - fix alpha channel support. Premultiply alpha in colours if the visual
319 supports an alpha channel, as xrender expects premultiplied alpha
320 (Emanuele Giaquinta).
321 - fix reply to a selection request sent by an obsolete client
322 such as syncterm (patch by Marcin Cieslak).
323 - fix crash when the window is resized and the overlay is active
324 (Emanuele Giaquinta, reported by Ryan Kavanagh).
325 - match character-wise rather than byte-wise in selection
326 extension again. perl 5.8.9+ is required to avoid extreme
327 slowdowns. Fixes debian bugs #523072, #616463.
328 - fix a possible crash if the INCR transfer process for a
329 selection property timeouts and at least one chunk is
330 received. (Emanuele Giaquinta)
331 - work around a memory corruption bug in xorg's XrmSetDatabase (apparently
332 broken since http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/xorg-commit-diffs/2004-March/000239.html).
333 - fix memory corruption bug when custom command sequences bound to keys
334 were injected into an already-full pty input buffer.
335 - gdk-pixbuf is autodetected by default and preferred over libafterimage.
336 - do not prepend a newline to the selection text when the starting line
337 of the selection is not highlighted (Emanuele Giaquinta).
338 - don't swap perl env with real env, save and restore it, just in case
339 we ever get recursive perl invocations. also saves a bit of codespace
340 with gcc.
341 - fix various memory leaks (Emanuele Giaquinta).
342 - fix typo in kIC terminfo capability, debian bug #446444.
343 - document 'thickness' resource.
344 - fix debian bug #504817, to the extent possible.
345 - try to detect byte order at compile time, saves a couple of
346 hundred bytes, if your compiler is smart enough.
347 - add support for previewing the pasted data in confirm-paste
348 (Emanuele Giaquinta).
349 - added "newlines to spaces" option in selection-popup.
350 - actually enabled solaris event ports backend (was disabled by accident).
351 - revert to 38400 baud max., mission accomplished.
352 - no longer create scary "pty_fill: PLEASE REPORT" message, instead,
353 silently drain the input (problem is well understood now).
354 - no longer swallow rob nation's own graphics mode commands.
355
3569.10 Mon Dec 13 17:43:52 CET 2010
357 - the "schmorp=north korea dickey=south korea" release.
358 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: make OSC 20 simpler and more correct
359 (Emanuele Giaquinta).
360 - if options were compiled out, this could lead to the option
361 count to be defined wrongly. This is likely behind the
362 failures with gcc 4.5.
363 - explicitly depend on fontconfig and xrender when xft support
364 is enabled. Although the public Xft api uses types from
365 both, in Xft 2.2.0 these libs are private
366 dependencies only thanks to an idiotic behaviour of
367 pkg-config that was added to workaround cases like this one.
368 Fixes linking when using GNU ld with --as-needed or GNU gold
369 (based on patch by Jan Palus).
370 - fix minor memory leaks in urxvt and urxvtd.
371 - fix regression in urxvtd that prevented options from being correctly
372 set (reported by Michal Vaner).
373 - implement xterm's horribly broken 1005 mouse reporting mode,
374 and an alternative 1015 mode that works in non-utf-8 locales
375 and has fewer limitations.
376 - fix a possible bug where mouse notifications didn't work after
377 startup for the upper left corner.
378 - implement our own pixbuf to pixmap rendering to get rid of
379 dependency on buggy gdk-pixbuf-xlib. Only truecolor visuals
380 are supported (Emanuele Giaquinta).
381 - apply tinting before shading when both operations are requested.
382 Previously they were intermixed when lightening and the result
383 was inaccurate and confusing. Note that now a black tint yields a
384 completely black image, regardless of shading (Emanuele Giaquinta).
385 - avoid spurious redraws of the bg image when bg is transparent or
386 when using 'root' mode (Emanuele Giaquinta).
387 - fix build on XFree86.
388 - dynamically number options according to compiletime requirements.
389 For the extra saved byte. Or so. Yay.
390 - start options at one, not zero. Wastes a bit per terminal. Maybe.
391 saves 50 instruction bytes. Possibly.
392
3939.09 Sat Nov 13 01:39:07 CET 2010
394 - NOTICE: this release updates terminfo/termcap.
395 - the bestest release ever.
396 - it was verified that urxvt handles µ and μ correctly.
397 - add support for blending and blurring with XRender (Emanuele Giaquinta).
398 - add support for using gdk-pixbuf as image backend (Emanuele Giaquinta).
399 - cleanup and minor fixes of the image code (Emanuele Giaquinta).
400 - new perl extension "confirm-paste" (Emanuele Giaquinta).
401 - new on_tt_paste perl hook and tt_paste perl binding (Emanuele Giaquinta).
402 - new on_bell perl hook (Emanuele Giaquinta).
403 - searchable-scrollback no longer ignores the first line
404 (Emanuele Giaquinta).
405 - properly set VSTATUS in termios for *BSD (reported by Ed Schouten).
406 - fix utmpx detection on upcoming FreeBSD 9.
407 - Use COMPOUND_TEXT encoding for WM_NAME/WM_ICON_NAME value when it
408 is not fully convertible to STRING (patch by James Cloos).
409 - fix a buffer overflow that would cause wrong key sequences to
410 be generated for numpad keys (introduced in 9.05).
411 - fix definition of sgr0 to work around limitations in luit.
412 - extend ISO 14755 5.4 mode to also print the font name of the
413 characters other than first one in the selected cell
414 (Emanuele Giaquinta).
415 - new iso14755 option to disable ISO 14755 at runtime
416 (Emanuele Giaquinta).
417 - make sure pagewise scrolling scrolls at least one line
418 (found by Mikachu).
419 - remove deprecated OSC 18 / 19 and make OSC 17 / 19 apply to
420 highlightColor / highlightTextColor (Emanuele Giaquinta).
421 - add highlightTextColor resource to change the foreground colour of
422 highlighted characters (Emanuele Giaquinta).
423 - make highlightColor apply also to selected cells with reverse video
424 but not to non selected cells with reverse video (Emanuele Giaquinta).
425 - remove colorRV resource (it was enabled only with frills off).
426 - fix numlock handling, the most longstanding bug to date (Emanuele Giaquinta).
427 - reduce the number of custom bits to 4, to make room
428 for 256 colours.
429 - add support for 256 colors (Emanuele Giaquinta, Marc Lehmann).
430 - add rxvt-unicode-256color terminfo and use it by default in 256 colors mode.
431 - update rxvt-unicode terminfo to state 7744 colour pairs to cover all
432 88*88 possible pairs.
433 - actually added macosx-clipboard-native, which should have been in
434 the 9.07 release but had been forgotten.
435 - fix hang if DECAWM is not set and there are not enough columns to insert a
436 character (Emanuele Giaquinta).
437 - cub1 ("backspace") will now respect wrapping when past the rightmost column,
438 working around a shortcoming of most tty line discipline's line editing.
439 - add support for grabbing the clipboard selection and extend
440 selection{_clear,_grab,} perl bindings to optionally work
441 on the clipboard selection (based on patch by Dana Jansens).
442 - no longer force CERASE to BACKSPACE - use the system default. affects
443 default value for VERASE only when no compatible setting for
444 backspacekey was given.
445 - use higher than 38400 baudrate setting, if detected.
446 - erase screen would clear to the wrong background when blinking
447 was enabled (which selects high intensity under some circumstances).
448 - scr_kill_char didn't touch the line.
449 - upgrade and port to libev-4.01.
450 - enabled solaris event ports and kqueue backends (if available).
451
4529.07 Wed Dec 30 07:07:18 CET 2009
453 - port to glibc-2.10 changes (strchr etc. returning const char *
454 in C++), based on patches by Milos Jakubicek and Oliver Mader.
455 - the binary search algorithm to find precomposed characters
456 was faulty, skipping some possible combinations (found by
457 Mikachu).
458 - new -letterspace option, patch by Mark H. Wilkinson.
459 - enable --mlock option for urxvt with frills on
460 systems supporting it (patch by Russell Harmon).
461 - urxvt did not compile without frills enabled
462 (analysed by Matthew Rosewarne).
463 - correctly reset the mbstate after an illegal
464 input sequence when handling terminal output (Emanuele Giaquinta).
465 - avoid redrawing wide characters with combining enabled on every
466 refresh (reported by Mikachu).
467 - fix a typo preventing the ISO-646.1991 character set from being
468 recognized (http://achurch.org/patch-pile/).
469 - better warning for x11 font encoding detection failures, also,
470 try to deduce encoding from both font properties and name
471 (adapted from http://achurch.org/patch-pile/).
472 - resizing the window with the scrollbar disabled via the escapes
473 sequence could make the window bigger again (Mikachu).
474 - make sure the alignment for fd passing control messages
475 is correct and work around some NetBSD issues (Taylor R Campbell).
476 - update to libptytty 1.3.
477 - replace macosx-clipboard by a nicer version by Reza Jelveh, and move
478 the old version to macosx-clipboard-native.
479 - document the -uc option (Emanuele Giaquinta).
480 - assertions in libev are now enabled depending on frills.
481 - update AnyEvent implementation to version 5.23 API.
482 - work around arrogant bsd idiocies again: netbsd spills the default
483 namespace with lots of symbols "for gnu/gcc compatibility" even
484 though neither of them does it, and then calls the rest of the world
485 in need of fixing. go figure.
486 - on_keyboard_command is on_user_command (patch by Michael Witten).
487 - setting the selection from perl will now reset the selection screen
488 to the current screen. the screen can be manipulated using
489 the new ->selection_screen method.
490 - implement --enable-assert configure option and get rid of DEBUG_STRICT
491 (based on patch by Emanuele Giaquinta).
492 - fix printpipe data output (patch by Emanuele Giaquinta).
493 - allow `xxx' quoting style for perl selection.
494 - upgrade to libev-3.9 prerelease.

496
4979.06 Sat Nov 8 17:47:18 CET 2008
498 - NOTICE: this release updates terminfo/termcap.
499 - updates libev to 3.48.
500 - the aterm code now frees the as visual and image manager objects
501 when a window was closed.
502 - do not (wrongly) adjust the virtual line length inside
503 scr_insdel_chars/ERASE (Miroslav Lichvar).
504 - fix an issue where wide tab characters caused character shifts
505 when part of them was deleted (tracked down by Miroslav Lichvar).
506 - artificially enlargen the previous character at the end of a line
507 when trying to output a character that doesn't fit. looks ugly, but
508 makes copy&paste work.
509 - remove bogus "setuid/setgid security issues" from rxvt.1.pod, they
510 no longer apply.
511 - the urgency hint is now cleared on both focus in and focus out.
512 - cache urgency hint locally to avoid server rtt on every focus change.
513 - perl 5.10 needs PERL_SYS_INIT3 on hppa.
514 - ignore byte-order marks and do not treat them like combining characters.
515 - fix build issue when CURSOR_BLINK is not defined (Emanuele Giaquinta).
516 - do some µ-optimisations to the character fast path.
517 - use a less cunning, but more robust algorithm to avoid one terminal
518 monopolising the whole process by outputting a lot of text.
519 - try to work around linux first breaking sched_yield and now breaking
520 the only known workaround.
521 - new option -icon to set _NET_WM_ICON (based on patch by Frank Schmitt).
522 - initialise the as visual only on demand, instead of unconditionally,
523 to save memory in the common case of not using visual gimmicks.
524 - try to work around bugs in a few wm's that erroneously resize
525 client windows on hint property updates by temporarily
526 disabling size hints.
527 - implement the DECSTR soft reset sequence and use it for tput init,
528 and make hard RIS and DECSTR both reset more private modes, such
529 as mouse reporting.
530 - redundantly clear mouse reporting and a few other states in
531 tput init/tput reset, for older urxvts.
532 - partial/full clear screens did cause flickering and possibly pixel
533 droppings when urxvt viewed the scrollback buffer.
534 - use current rendition style in DCH sequence.
535 - the 132/80 mode switch no longer forces a screen reset.
536 - add an osc sequence to change the border colour (Emanuele Giaquinta).
537 - new perl extension "overlay-osc", for status displays and the like.
538 - fix some minor cursor drawing issues with overlays by allowing
539 overlays to modify screen flags (to disable the cursor themselves).
540 - work around programs not restoring rstyle before rmcup
541 (analysed by Miroslav Lichvar).
542
5439.05 Sun Jun 15 20:09:20 CEST 2008
544 - new option --cd/chdir to set the starting working directory.
545 - tabbed extension now starts in the "correct" working directory.

547 header file for it (report by Tuncer Ayaz).
548 - upgrade libev, fixing a bug in the select backend.
549 with more than 31 file descriptors on non-linux 64 bit systems.
550 - correctly reset the multibyte state to the initial one
551 after EILSEQ (patch by Neil Booth). This fixes the
552 issue of rxvt-unicode not properly displaying text after an illegal
553 sequence on NetBSD and probably other systems.
554 - more intelligent property handling with -pe tabbed, works around
555 broken window managers (kwm et al.), saves bandwidth and should
556 help working window managers as well.
557 - made tabs moveable (based on a patch by Petr Machata).
558 - implement ESC [ 3 K as a more rational alternative to ESC [ 0 K.
559 - support relative paths for RXVT_SOCKET in urxvtd.
560 - the tabbed extension now blindly copies over all (rxvt-) resources
561 from the toplevel window to the children.
562 - better diagnostic on 0x0 window geometries.
563 - update AnyEvent API to version 3.4 and above.
564 - document the default value of :0 for DISPLAY.
565 - rename perl method XChangeWindowProperty to XChangeProperty.
566
5679.02 Tue Jan 29 11:58:36 CET 2008
568 - the "exg makes everybody happy" release.
569 - fix build with !xft.
570 - always compile in plain style scrollbar (simplifies code and looks great).
571
5729.01 Sat Jan 26 20:49:27 CET 2008
573 - be more aggressive about handling X events, this seems to be required
574 with newer xlibs (should fix the "screen stays black until event is
575 received" problem, again :)
576 - add buffered resource to control xft double-buffering.
577
5789.0 Fri Jan 25 19:34:04 CET 2008
579 - fix a crash bug where urxvtd would crash when urxvtc was called
580 with wrong arguments (I wish debian maintainers in general would
581 report bugs and their proposed fixes to the original package maintainers
582 instead of sitting on them for good measure to see if anybody notices).
583 - drawing xft compose characters was causing garbage to be drawn.
584 - correctly clear xft character background in all cases.
585 - implement bracketed paste mode (xterm private mode 2004).
586 - improve documentation on alpha channel handling, make urxvt
587 work better on servers lacking the RENDER extension when alpha
588 channels or background images are used.
589 - check for refresh after initialising to avoid staying blank
590 till the first event arrives. or so.
591 - the FORCE_UNBUFFERED_XFT feature macro works again.
592 - continuously update transparency while moving/resizing now.
593 - OSC 39/49 are deprecated and aliased to OSC 10/11.
594 - cub1 now acts as advertised (and ignores the "wrapped" state).
595 - the 132/80 mode switch now forces a height of 24, too, and
596 resets the terminal.
597 - scrollbar code cleanups.
598 - stopping children is no longer confused with children exiting.
599 - removed (undocumented) #aarrggbb format.
600 - updated to libev 3.0.
601
6028.9 Mon Dec 24 07:51:40 CET 2007
603 - fix the issue where urxvtd would not immediately close a window
604 when the command exited but only on the next X event.
605 - changed terminfo file not to use application keypad mode.
606 - fix the issue where making a selection in one urxvtd window
607 would not clear it visually in another.
608 - fix an issue of urxvt not getting background pixmap updates
609 and flickering after bg pixmap changes (reported by Mikachu).
610 - fix redraw bug in xterm scrollbar with -sr (reported by Mikachu).
611 - correctly provide dependencies for libev (µikachu).
612 - minor code reorganisations and cleanups.
613 - be more robust in case the urxvt-popup extension cannot be loaded.
614
6158.8 Sat Dec 15 19:40:39 CET 2007
616 - option -C was aliased to all unsupported options, activating
617 options that shouldn't be compiled in, leading to interesting
618 effects.
619 - updated libev, working around a bug in linux 2.4, curing the
620 symptom of urxvt not closing its window on shell exit. also
621 fixes a problem with urxvt not refreshing.
622 - the text blink callback was called even when no blinking
623 text was visible.
624 - pre-8.4 slipwheeling behaviour has been reinstated, with
625 some minor improvements.
626 - streamlined x events processing to only flush once per
627 display and not once per terminal window.
628 - quite a bit of minor code cleanups and codesize optimisations.
629
6308.7 Sun Nov 25 10:23:49 CET 2007
631 - update libev with an important bugfix that would cause crashes
632 when closing windows (when using rxvtd, and update is recommended).
633 - do not compile in the block builtin graphics with --disable-frills.
634
6358.6 Fri Nov 23 14:10:57 CET 2007
636 - upgrade libev to disable kqueue on anything but netbsd as it
637 seems to be broken everywhere else w.r.t. ptys.
638 - allow for spurious event notifications, as at least epoll and
639 especially solaris ports like to lie about them (symptoms:
640 urxvt "hangs" until there is some x11 related activity).
641 - -keysym command line options are now subjected to xlib parsing.
642 - add 'xrm' option analogous to Xt one.
643
6448.5a Wed Nov 21 10:16:33 CET 2007
645 - make it compile with --disable-transparency.
646
6478.5 Wed Nov 21 05:19:20 CET 2007
648 - expect major portability issues in this release: please test and report.
649 - converted from the veritable io manager event loop to
650 the high performance libev (http://software.schmorp.de/pkg/libev).
651 - minor tuning to the perl selection (include single words and more quoting chars).
652 - fix memory leak in pixmap code.
653 - fix a serious bug while setting the XIM destroy callback
654 on (typical) 64 bit systems.
655 - automove-background functionality re-implemented internally using :root op in pixmap
656 geometry string. For example: rxvt -pixmap "image.jpg;:root"
657 - do not link rxvtc against every lib on the planet anymore.
658 - parallel builds should work once more.
659
6608.4 Sat Oct 27 14:02:13 CEST 2007
661 - overhaul of the transparency/pixmap code (sasha).
662 - fix possible race between visual bell and poweron.
663 (reported by Martin von Gagern, gentoo?).
664 - urxvt -e no longer crashes the child.
665 - fixed some minor memleaks on incorrect usage or
666 missing DISPLAY.
667 - implement xterm 1002/1003 mouse tracking modes (exg).
668 - source code organisational cleanups (exg).
669 - updated io_manager.
670
6718.3 Wed Aug 1 20:21:31 CEST 2007
672 - new option: skipScroll/-ss, enabled by default.
673 - go with the times and expect x11 library files in /usr/lib, not
674 /usr/X11R6/lib.
675 - initial transparency improvement/afterimage support
676 patch by Sasha Vasko.
677 - add urgentOnBell resource to set the urgency hint
678 (patch by Philip Paeps).
679 - do not process focus events caused by grabs
680 (patch by Mikachu).
681 - add iso14755_52 resource to disable iso14755 5.2 (exg).
682 - add binding for backspace in iso14755 5.1 to remove the last
683 digit (exg).
684 - better option handling, support more than 30 options (exg).
685 - nuke reconf script, serves no purpose anymore.
686 - fixed and documented matcher/on_user_command processing in matcher
687 extension (tpope).
688 - compile out of the box on Solaris 10 (exg).
689 - fix MappingNotify events (reported by Stephan Walter).
690 - zero-initialise mwmhints, this seems to solve all sorts of minor
691 problems.
692
6938.2 Sat Feb 17 21:35:28 CET 2007
694 - fix make depend in src/, reported by exg.
695 - fixed typo in urxvt::GET_CUSTOM, causing the result to be wrong.
696 (patch by Sergey Vlasov).
697 - unbundled iom perl interface somewhat.
698 - scrollbar-xterm now uses the selected scrollColor instead of fg
699 (found by Aiviru).
700 - disabled linux kernel bug workaround again: disabling it gives
701 a 50% speed hit on affected machines, while enabling it gives
702 a similar speed hit to screen, which is likely the more common
703 case to work around for :/
704 - urxvt::rend2mask perl function, and utilization of it by matcher
705 (patch by Moshe Kamensky).
706 - use perl:matcher on a keysym to open most recently displayed URL.
707 - with matcher, when multiple patterns match, last wins, not first.
708 - fix make and make install with srcdir != builddir (exg).
709 - updated bundled libptytty to fix a bug where the tty would be kept
710 open (see the libptytty ChangeLog for details).
711 - delay setting the IUTF8 flag to after the tty settings have been
712 set so its value does not get lost (reported and analysed by Andrei
713 Paskevich).
714 - rip out support for obsolete sgtty.h interface.
715 - rip out support for non-POSIX termios variants.
716 - update libptytty.
717 - update iom.C, make it call ptytty::sanitise_stdfd on init.
718 - when !XFT, change rounding of colours to use a less correct formula to
719 meet user expectancies (#aaa becomes #a000a000a000 not #9f9f9f9f9f9f).
720 - change the starting offset of the pixmap set with backgroundPixmap
721 from (50,50) to (0,0) (exg).
722 - fix a typo in button_release, now meta-button2 request the value of
723 the Clipboard selection as it should (patch by Serge Koksharov).
724 - fix a bug in drawing a cell with a nonspacing char when using an xft
725 font with inheritPixmap and tintColor (exg).
726
7278.1 Thu Dec 7 22:27:25 CET 2006
728 - ｹﾘｽﾏｽﾌ゚ﾚｾ゙ﾝﾄ - zomg!!1, it's too early!!!
729 - fix the assumption that chars < 256 are single-width. Now
730 only assume this for codepoints 32 to 126 (reported by Dai.H.).
731 - $term->strwidth returned wide chars as width 1, because some jerk
732 confused min and max. Fixing this also fixes xim-onthespot.
733 Reported by Takano Akio.
734 - secondaryScroll is now enabled by default (as per the manpage),
735 reported by exg.
736 - correct the description of [percent]color rgba format in the manpage.
737 - incorporated macosx-clipboard extension by Samuel Ljungkvist.
738 - ignore (some) useless focus events (reported by mmc).
739 - updated compose table to unicode 5.0.0.
740
7418.0 Thu Nov 2 18:35:19 CET 2006
742 - combining characters cleared the area instead of creating an overlay,
743 thus losing the ability to draw combining characters properly in most
744 circumstances (reported by exg).
745 - specified fonts were incorrectly morphed to bold/italic according to the
746 basefont, even if explicitly specified (tracked down by tpope).
747 - fixed urxvt::strwidth to calculate width in the same way as screen.C.
748 - fix a crash caused by passing negative widths to overlay functions.
749 - added 'matcher' extension by tpope, replacing the mark-urls extension.
750 - improve url regex to match anything www.* (tpope).
751 - fixed bug with outline cursor color being wrong after xft fonts.
752 - update to libptytty-1.0.
753 - give proper diagnostic when RXVT_SOCKET is too long instead of
754 corrupting the stack (patch by exg).
755 - display current terminal locale in option menu.
756 - urxvtd no longer crashes when the client sends an inaccessible
757 working directory (reported by Roland Baer, possibly fixes gentoo
758 bug #143985).
759 - fixed many minor issues reported by Roland Baer.
760 - Leonid Khramov spotted a minor glitch in rxvtfont.C that
761 should not have any consequences, but was buggy nonetheless.
762 - manpage fix by exg.
763
7647.9 Mon Aug 7 18:16:07 CEST 2006
765 - fix the crashing bug people encountered with 7.8 + urxvtd + perl
766 + transparency. Ought to fix debian bug #380348.
767 - fix urxvtc.1.pod: it actually claimed -pty-fd would not work. But
768 it does! :->
769 - rxvt_fatal() in case the locale string is too long for our static buffer.
770 - fixed many, many, typos in the manpages (patch supplied by ves).
771
7727.8 Mon Jul 17 21:00:46 CEST 2006
773 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: this version will always read ~/.Xdefaults,
774 earlier versions only read it if display-resources (usually from
775 .Xresources) are not set. This avoids the #1 FAQ ("why isn't my
776 resource used") and seems to be logical behaviour, too. .Xdefaults
777 resources have a lower priority than display-specific resources.
778 - add "kuake" perl extension that does a similar thing to the kuake
779 terminal emulator (see man urxvtperl).
780 - use less "correct" color scaling that is compatible with libX11 and
781 Xft (avoids off-by-one colors resulting in striped backgrounds).
782 - the "depth" resource is now respected.
783 - preset the searchable-scrollback pattern with "(?i)" to default search
784 to case-insensitivity. Will automatically be cleared when typing an
785 uppercase character.
786 - add FORCE_UNBUFFERED_XFT define to features.h.
787 - re-enabled highlightcolor support with --enable-frills, based on
788 a patch by Martin Stubenschrott.
789 - double-buffered xft drawing did suffer from pixel offset issues
790 when pixmap transparency was enabled.
791 - strategically add # to the url-match regexes, as we really want to
792 match common URIs not common URLs. Reported by Aaron Griffin.
793 - moved on_osc_seq to on_osc_seq_perl and added a more
794 generic osc_seq.
795 - fix a bug causing double callback invocations when perl hooks
796 were invoked recursively.
797 - the automove-background extension now properly works when the
798 pixmap gets reset with an osc sequence (sqweek).
799 - selection-pastebin did not work properly with non-latin1-characters.
800 - apply colorUL only when the text colour is the default fg
801 (patch by Wu Fengguang).
802 - removed rxvtlib.h from the tarball, it had no reason to be there
803 (spotted by Decklin Foster).
804 - fix compiling with TRANSPARENT but !XPM_BACKGROUND, as reported
805 by omatunto_.
806 - slap in a using namespace std, might help on platforms that don't
807 follow C++ closely enough.
808 - fix mailto url regex, spotted within milliseconds by Jost Krieger.
809 - applied fade_color_update_func.patch by WU Fengguang.
810 - fix a bug where (due to an optimisation in av_delete), hiding the
811 bottom-most overlay would hide two overlays.
812
8137.7 Tue Feb 21 12:32:49 CET 2006
814 - use double-buffered drawing (xft fonts only). On many driver/hardware
815 combination this actually increases xft drawing speed, at the expense
816 of more network bandwidth and slight nausea on the side of the author.
817 - readline perl extension now requires shift-click instead of a normal
818 click, and eats the click.
819 - tabbed perl extension now supports -e.
820 - disabled graphics-exposures on the main drawing GC, report any
821 refresh bugs please.
822 - improve property handling for -pe tabbed: avoid unnecessary property
823 changes (for kde's benefit) at the expense of extra round-trips,
824 improve size hint setting.
825 - modified XIM according to a patch sent by Takano Akio that sets
826 the preedit rectangle for OverTheSpot, which helps some input methods
827 to correctly position their preedit window.
828 - un-optimise the line clearing on newly scrolled-in lines a bit: the
829 former reasoning was that any fg colour on default bg looks the same
830 in empty spaces, but that's not true when reversing (e.g. selection),
831 so also check for matching fg colours. This fixes the problem where
832 selecting newly scrolled-in lines would exhibit wrong colours.
833 - fix a bug in the perl interface causing focus in events to generate
834 focus out perl events, causing bad focus effects with -pe tabbed.
835 - fix a race resulting in a crash on exiting.
836 - fix a with --disable-xft that caused xfreecolors to be called on
837 colors never allocated, resulting in aborts (reported by Paco-Paco).
838 - resources on non-initial screens weren't refetched correctly
839 (reported by Paco-Paco).
840 - fix a bug in xcopyarea pass and _disable_ it, as it seems not to be
841 working in either rxvt-unicode nor in the original rxvt.
842 - removed undocumented -exec alias for the -e option.
843
8447.6 Fri Feb 10 08:52:36 CET 2006
22 - changed interpretation of [alpha] colour prefix. 845 - changed interpretation of [alpha] colour prefix.
846 - +option now really sets the option to default, instead of using the
847 resource value.
848 - options that require an argument now really _require_ an argument.
849 - the tabbed extension now forwards focus and key events to the
850 relevant tab window.
851 - tab colours are now configurable and have sensible defaults
852 (initial patch by hednod).
853 - option menu is extendable, readline, selection and
854 selection-autotransform can now be disabled/enabled at runtime.
855 - forcing a configure event to tabbed subwindows with -pe tabbed, for
856 the benefit of automove-background.
857 - the automove-background extension added a wrong constant offset.
