9TODO: slow drag selection on remote display - other things seem fast (rxvt illness, motion hints?)
10TODO: better resource handling for tabbar in -pe tabbed.
11WISH: investigate -pe tabbed -g 80x25 being 23 not 24 or 25 lines
12 => when setting the constraints, the wm might (correctly)
13 resize the outer window, which might result in a smaller window overall.
14 or something like that. guys, send me a patch.

41TODO: cuu/cud and probably others default to 1 when arg is 0, not just missing, in xterm/vt102, but not in rxvt
42TODO: implement xterms nih 1006 mouse mode because the fud campaign against urxvt's 1015 mode works.
19 43
44TODO: confirm-paste should be the default
45TODO: xterm-osc does not autoload background
46TODO: think about daemon delaying urxvt client exit.
47TODO: libev update
48 - do not destruct perl on exit anymore: this might fail for a variety of
49 reasons, and takes unneccessary time.
50 - the old bg image resources are now provided by the background
51 extension, and perl is thus required for bg image support. No
52 configuration change is needed: urxvt autoloads the background
53 ext if any bg image resource/option is present (for OSC sequences to
54 work you need to enable it explicity). The old bg image
55 resources are also now deprecated; users are encouraged to
56 switch to the new bg image interface (see man urxvt-background).
57 - confirm-paste now checks for any ctlchars, not just newlines.
58 - searchable scrollback will now ignore bracketed paste mode sequences
59 (prompted by Daniel Gröber's patch).
60 - drop ISO 2022 locale support. ISO 2022 encodings are not supported in
61 POSIX locales and clash with vt100 charset emulation (the luit
62 program can be used as a substitute).
63 - perl didn't parse rgba colours specified as an array correctly,
64 only allowing 0 and 100% intensity for each component (this affected
65 fill and tint).
66 - when iterating over resources, urxvt will now try to properly handle
67 multipart resources (such as "*background.expr"), for the benefit
68 of autoloading perl extensions.
69 - ESC G (query rxvt graphics mode) has been disabled due to security
70 implications. The rxvt graphics mode was removed in rxvt-unicode 1.5,
71 and no programs relying on being able to query the mode are known.
72 - work around API change breakage in perl 5.28, based on a patch by
73 Roman Bogorodskiy.
74 - improved security: rob nation's (obsolete) graphics mode queries
75 no longer reply with linefeed in secure/default mode.
76 - ISO 8613-3 direct colour SGR sequences (patch by Fengguang Wu).
77 - xterm focus reporting mode (patch by Daniel Hahler).
78 - in some window managers, if smart resize was enabled, urxvt
79 erroneously moved the window on font change - awesome bug
80 #532, arch linux bug ##34807 (patch by Uli Schlachter).
81 - fix urxvtd crash when using a background expression.
82 - properly restore colors when using fading and reverse video
83 is enabled while urxvt is focused and then disabled while it
84 is not focused, or vice versa (patch by Daniel Hahler).
85 - fix high memory usage when an extension repeatedly hides and
86 shows an overlay (reported by Marcel Lautenbach).
87 - expose priv_modes member and constants to perl extensions
88 (patch by Rastislav Barlik).
89 - fix a whole slew of const sillyness, unfortunately forced upon
90 us by ISO C++.
91 - update to libecb 0x00010006.
92 - disable all thread support in ecb.h as we presumably don't need it.
93 - slightly improve Makefile source dependencies.
94
959.22 Sat Jan 23 21:07:33 CET 2016
96 - NOTICE: this release updates terminfo.
97 - add terminfo capabilities for various ctrl and shift-ctrl key variants
98 (patch by Sebastian Schmidt).
99 - fix longstanding core font encoding bug where some character
100 ranges could not be mapped from unicode to the font: affected
101 encodings are big5, gb2312, iso8859-8 (hebrew), jis0201 and
102 ksc5601 (reported by Mikachu).
103 - fix crash when the number of columns is 1 and a 0 width character is inserted
104 (reported by Kuang-che Wu).
105 - fix a crash when parsing an invalid color specification (reported by Kuang-che Wu).
106 - fix a buffer overflow in font name parser (reported by Kuang-che Wu).
107 - do not start blinking cursor if the window is unfocused (reported by
108 Devin J. Pohly).
109 - change the width of underline and i-beam cursor to 2 pixels (based on
110 a patch by Omar Sandoval).
111 - add pointerShape resource to change the mouse pointer shape
112 (based on a patch by Brian Watson).
113 - a keysym resource for a key which is already bound to an
114 action now properly rebinds the key.
115 - do not report mouse motion events if Shift is active (patch by Daniel Hahler).
116 - put the alpha component last in responses to OSC color queries
117 (patch by Benjamin Herr).
118 - the key_press hook is now invoked before processing the
119 event, as documented. This change was done in 9.21 but not
120 announced and fixes debian bugs #511377, #531751 and red hat
121 bug #1105069. Note that this change breaks a few scripts,
122 such as mark-yank-urls, which rely on the previous buggy
123 behaviour that urxvt processes the event (in particular
124 keysym bindings) before invoking the hook.
125 - the tabbed extension now properly refreshes the active tab
126 on a key press when the mouse pointer is outside the terminal
127 window.
128 - add 'lookup_keysym' perl method to lookup the action bound
129 to a key combination.
130 - a key combination bound to 'matcher:select' can now be used
131 to cycle through the matches in matcher.
132 - change perl integer accessors (->width et al.) into mutators.
133
1349.21 Wed Dec 31 14:50:03 CET 2014
135 - the "moa redraw 8-bit british vintage colour management" release.
136 - NOTICE: this release updates terminfo.
137 - fix pixel droppings on overdraw when a secondary core font has the
138 same height but different ascent.
139 - implement cvvis in terminfo as blinking cursor, to distinguish it
140 from cnorm (emacs uses cvvis which is commonly a blinking cursor).
141 - when xft support was compiled in, colour queries erroneously returned
142 premultiplied values, this also affected internal queries, for example
143 when calculating faded colour. alpha is now divided out when possible,
144 which is more correct but loses colour resolution.
145 - add DECSCUSR xterm extension to set the cursor to a vertical bar.
146 - add 'extension:string' action, and associated on_action perl
147 hook, for keysym resources that invokes actions provided by
148 perl extensions. The 'perl:string' action and
149 on_user_command hook are deprecated but still supported.
150 - add 'builtin-string' action for keysym resources that restores string
151 mappings for keys that have predefined actions in urxvt.
152 - add -k option to urxvtc for killing the daemon process.
153 - document urxvtd's -e/--eval option that was implemented in 9.16,
154 but not documented.
155 - add -dockapp option to make the wm treat urxvt as a dockapp.
156 - add -mc option and multiClickTime resource to set the maximum time
157 between multi-click select events (patch by Joe Peterson).
158 - new 'eval' extension to evaluate arbitrary perl code with keysym
159 bindings. The extension also provides methods that implement basic
160 actions, such as pasting selections and scrolling.
161 - the macosx-clipboard and macosx-clipboard-native extensions have been removed.
162 - kuake extension now uses the kuake.hotkey resource to specify the hotkey.
163 - new 'matcher:select' mode of matcher to iterate over the matches with the keyboard.
164 - the 'matcher:list' feature of matcher now honours the launcher
165 associated to a matched pattern.
166 - speed-up matcher underlining on very long lines (reported by Edward Z. Yang).
167 - fix up/down commands of searchable-scrollback so that they always move
168 to the previous/next logical line with a match, if any.
169 - searchable-scrollback resource has been deprecated (use keysym instead).
170 - extension parameter passing is deprecated (use resource mechanism instead).
171 - upgrade to GPLv3 (see COPYING).
172 - compile out of the box on Solaris 10, again.
173 - fix height and position of the stippled area in next scrollbar (patch
174 by Thomas Otto).
175 - fix off-by-one bug causing the iso14755 window not to jump out of the
176 way properly.
177 - fix crash that may happen if a lib to which urxvt is linked to calls setenv.
178 - fix memory leak in special_{encode,decode} perl methods.
179 - fix refresh bug that occurs when reverse video is set on a cell
180 containing a space and with the same bg and fg colour, red hat bug
181 #830236.
182 - fix crash that may happen if an x error is received after a terminal
183 window/popup has been destroyed already.
184 - removed superfluous 0 digit from sgr terminfo sequence.
185 - greatly improve colour allocation on colour-starved pseudocolour
186 displays to avoid read-write cells instead of simply failing
187 (this is only relevant for antique 8bpp frame buffers).
188 - do not free fade colours when not doing fading (this is likely
189 only relevant for antique 8bpp frame buffers).
190 - do not specialcase 2 or 4 colour visuals, leading to
191 simpler and actually more correct code.
192 - hopefully no longer leak colours on !truecolour visuals.
193 - use consistent method names (scr_recolour => scr_recolor).
194 - use simpler (but slightly less bogus) formula for nearest
195 colour choice (this is likely only relevant for antique 8bpp
196 frame buffers).
197 - remove fallback behaviour when initialising colours - the
198 behaviour was inconsistent between startup vs. later and
199 was only effective when valid colours couldn't be allocated.
200
2019.20 Sat Apr 26 16:22:27 CEST 2014
202 - (libptytty) fix bug that prevented urxvtd from writing utmp
203 entries when using --fork (reported by Ryan Kavanagh).
204 - security bugfix: window property values could be queried even
205 in secure mode (reported by Conor McCarthy).
206 - fix build when perl is enabled and fading is disabled.
207 - fix regression that broke continuous scrolling when pressing
208 and holding the scrollbar up or down button, gentoo bug #493992.
209 - increase the maximum length of a command sequence to 32k bytes,
210 to allow longer OSC sequences (previous limit was 2k).
211 - new Ctrl-Meta-c and Ctrl-Meta-v bindings to interact with
212 the CLIPBOARD selection.
213 - new extension: selection-to-clipboard.
214 - the extensions macosx-clipboard and macosx-clipboard-native
215 are deprecated and will be removed in the next release.
216 Support for the clipboard on OS X can be more generally
217 enabled by setting the XQuartz preference to sync the OS X
218 pasteboard and the X11 clipboard.
219
2209.19 Sun Oct 27 17:16:07 CET 2013
221 - work around perl 5.18.0 breakage in tabbed extension
222 (reported by Karol Blazewicz) and in pod (Dominic Hargreaves).
223 - fix regression that caused the double-click word selection to
224 erroneously include a tab on the left of the selected word.
225 - implement FOCUS variable and focus_fade function in background
226 expression, to allow focus-sensitive background images.
227 - add support for the set cursor style (DECSCUSR) control
228 function.
229 - honour cursorColor also when the cursor style is underline.
230 - export some Color_xxx constants to Perl.
231
2329.18 Sun Mar 24 15:33:35 CET 2013
233 - fix regression that caused artifacts on resize.
234
2359.17 Fri Mar 1 13:46:08 CET 2013
236 - add shade operator in background perl extension.
237 - avoid starting or ending the selection in the middle of wide
238 characters to avoid artifacts (reported by Tiago Resende).
239 - fix artifacts that may occur if the character in the cursor
240 cell has width > 1 (reported by Tiago Resende).
241 - fix regression that causes artifacts on scrolling if
242 saveLines is 0 and the window is resized (reported by Bert
243 Münnich).
244 - fix build when perl is enabled and pixbuf and transparency
245 are disabled.
246
2479.16 Thu Dec 27 11:56:43 CET 2012
248 - the "so much new stuff your eyes will pop out" release.
249 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: renamed urlLauncher resource to url-launcher.
250 - fix processing of DEC private mode save sequences (patch by Patrick
251 Hemmer).
252 - perl extensions now have their own manpages, installed as urxvt-NAME(1),
253 e.g. urxvt-background(1) - see urxvt-extensions(1) for a list.
254 - fix disabling of cursor blink with the option-popup menu (based on a
255 patch by Jan Larres).
256 - the font height is not augmented anymore when lineSpace is non zero.
257 - fix "new pagemap" vs. "delete pagemap" mismatch ([] vs. non-[]),
258 as diagnosed by clang.
259 - fix height mismatch between active and inactive cursor when
260 lineSpace is non zero (patch by Stanislav Seletskiy).
261 - make it compile with LOCAL_X_IS_UNIX again (reported by
262 nickfailure@gmail.com).
263 - completely redone background pixmap support - users can now
264 specify arbitrary expressions (And programs) that calculate
265 new terminal backgrounds. see the urxvt-background manpage
266 for details.
267 - xrender is now required for background pixmap support.
268 - perl extensions can now provide commandline switches and resources
269 which show up in -help etc.
270 - iso14755 51 mode window now displays row and column.
271 - implement a -visual switch and move that and -depth to frills, also
272 warn when we can't get the requested visual.
273 - new env variable: RXVT_PERL_LIB.
274 - allocate all screen memory in one go and let the virtual memory
275 subsystem sort it out. this simplifies code, improves access
276 locality, saves a bit of ram and makes things a bit faster, too.
277 - remove support for libafterimage.
278 - update to CVS version of libev, for a whopping 11kb size decrease.
279 - do not ship yet another copy of ecb.h, use the one in libev or
280 libptytty instead.
281 - selectively mark some methods as cache-hot/cache cold, which
282 might speed up execution but definitely decreases codesize.
283 - Fix regression that prevented the scrollbar trough color
284 from being applied (reported by Derek B. Noonburg).
285 - Fix the scrollbar size for rxvt style (patch by Mark Robinson).
286
2879.15 Sat Jan 21 13:36:56 CET 2012
288 - remove "using namespace std" because clang erroneously
289 thinks thats an error.
290 - finding a matching font (e.g. bold version of the base font)
291 was broken (reported by Eamon Walker).
292 - fix parsing of bg image styles. They really work now.
293 - fix blurring of bg image borders when using xrender.
294 - fix xrender blur on common xrender implementations that do
295 not behave correctly when the same pixmap is used as source
296 and destination in composite operations.
297 - fix regression that caused tabbed to compute the wrong size
298 for tabs.
299 - allow again an empty suffix in a keysym list spec (patch by
300 Sung Pae).
301 - unsupported support for sun studio's CC added.
302 - fix -C option on solaris.
303
3049.14 Wed Dec 21 18:40:33 CET 2011
305 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: the urxvtd default socket path is now
306 $HOME/.urxvt/urxvtd-<nodename>.
307 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: the "list" keysym expansion now requires
308 loading of the "keysym-list" perl extension.
309 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: A scale value of 0 in the bg image
310 geometry no longer enables tiling, so as to make it possible
311 to disable both scaling and tiling.
312 - overhaul of the bg image operations. The old operations have
313 been deprecated in favour of elementary operations and
314 styles built on top of the new operations and scale/position
315 settings. (Emanuele Giaquinta).
316 - support for libafterimage is deprecated and will be removed
317 in the next release.
318 - fix a crash caused by selection_check not properly resetting
319 out-of-bounds mark values (can happen when extending a selection
320 while scrolling up in curses programs for example).
321 - do not move the selection when scrolling up and the selection is
322 outside the scrolling region (Emanuele Giaquinta).
323 - fix display of bold bright black (reported by Ben Winslow).
324 - fix memory leak when urgentOnBell is set (patch by Nathaniel
325 Filardo).
326 - fix a redraw bug that occurs when a bg pixmap is set and the
327 wm does not honour the size hints set by urxvt. Now urxvt
328 forces the size of the terminal window to be a multiple of
329 the cell size.
330 - sanitise the argument of SD / SU sequences. Fixes a possible
331 crash when the argument is big enough, red hat bug #711137
332 (Emanuele Giaquinta).
333 - correctly split long lines when scrolling.
334 - urxvt now looks for perl extensions also in $HOME/.urxvt/ext.
335 - add bell-command perl extension to execute a command when a
336 bell event occurs (Ryan Kavanagh).
337 - add set_urgency perl binding to set/reset the urgency hint.
338 - consume button release event in matcher (exg).
339 - keyboard accessible list of recent matches in matcher
340 (Bob Farrell).
341 - properly process 'keysym' sequences in tabbed when using
342 'focus follows mouse' and the focus is on the main window
343 but not on the active terminal window (patch by Martin
344 Pohlack).
345 - support for the freedesktop startup-notification protocol (patch by
346 Michael Stapelberg).
347 - the direction of VPR and VPB commands was reversed.
348 - fix alignment of inherited root pixmap when it is a different size
349 than the root window and the terminal window is off the left or top
350 edge (Mikachu).
351 - make $self visible in "eval perl expression" popup action, also
352 handle exceptions better.
353 - fix parsing of '-e' when it occurs as an option argument, such as in
354 'urxvt -title -e' (Emanuele Giaquinta).
355
3569.12 Wed Jun 29 14:34:28 CEST 2011
357 - fix regression in processing of SelectionNotify events.
358 urxvt would fail to request a selection if the owner did not
359 support the UTF8_STRING target.
360 - fix rendering of double width chars in certain circumstances, more
361 likely to happen if urxvt is compiled with 256 colors support as
362 urxvt runs out of fonts much earlier then. Fixes gentoo bug #358151
363 (Emanuele Giaquinta).
364 - restore support for 'list' syntax in keysym resources (requested by Sung Pae).
365 - always premultiply colour values - while this increases differences between
366 core fonts and xft, it is "more correct" in practical situations.
367 - disable PTYTTY_REENTRANT option - not needed for urxvt and saves a bit of code.
368 - remove lucidatypewriter from the list of fallback fonts, it was the only
369 non-xft non-cellfont in the list anyway.
370
3719.11 Mon May 2 10:34:46 CEST 2011
372 - fix compilation on GNU/Hurd, debian bug #624736.
373 - remove 'list' syntax for keysym resources, as it serves no useful purpose.
374 If you need it, poke us and provide a use case.
375 - fix alpha channel support. Premultiply alpha in colours if the visual
376 supports an alpha channel, as xrender expects premultiplied alpha
377 (Emanuele Giaquinta).
378 - fix reply to a selection request sent by an obsolete client
379 such as syncterm (patch by Marcin Cieslak).
380 - fix crash when the window is resized and the overlay is active
381 (Emanuele Giaquinta, reported by Ryan Kavanagh).
382 - match character-wise rather than byte-wise in selection
383 extension again. perl 5.8.9+ is required to avoid extreme
384 slowdowns. Fixes debian bugs #523072, #616463.
385 - fix a possible crash if the INCR transfer process for a
386 selection property timeouts and at least one chunk is
387 received. (Emanuele Giaquinta)
388 - work around a memory corruption bug in xorg's XrmSetDatabase (apparently
389 broken since http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/xorg-commit-diffs/2004-March/000239.html).
390 - fix memory corruption bug when custom command sequences bound to keys
391 were injected into an already-full pty input buffer.
392 - gdk-pixbuf is autodetected by default and preferred over libafterimage.
393 - do not prepend a newline to the selection text when the starting line
394 of the selection is not highlighted (Emanuele Giaquinta).
395 - don't swap perl env with real env, save and restore it, just in case
396 we ever get recursive perl invocations. also saves a bit of codespace
397 with gcc.
398 - fix various memory leaks (Emanuele Giaquinta).
399 - fix typo in kIC terminfo capability, debian bug #446444.
400 - document 'thickness' resource.
401 - fix debian bug #504817, to the extent possible.
402 - try to detect byte order at compile time, saves a couple of
403 hundred bytes, if your compiler is smart enough.
404 - add support for previewing the pasted data in confirm-paste
405 (Emanuele Giaquinta).
406 - added "newlines to spaces" option in selection-popup.
407 - actually enabled solaris event ports backend (was disabled by accident).
408 - revert to 38400 baud max., mission accomplished.
409 - no longer create scary "pty_fill: PLEASE REPORT" message, instead,
410 silently drain the input (problem is well understood now).
411 - no longer swallow rob nation's own graphics mode commands.
412
4139.10 Mon Dec 13 17:43:52 CET 2010
414 - the "schmorp=north korea dickey=south korea" release.
415 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: make OSC 20 simpler and more correct
416 (Emanuele Giaquinta).
417 - if options were compiled out, this could lead to the option
418 count to be defined wrongly. This is likely behind the
419 failures with gcc 4.5.
420 - explicitly depend on fontconfig and xrender when xft support
421 is enabled. Although the public Xft api uses types from
422 both, in Xft 2.2.0 these libs are private
423 dependencies only thanks to an idiotic behaviour of
424 pkg-config that was added to workaround cases like this one.
425 Fixes linking when using GNU ld with --as-needed or GNU gold
426 (based on patch by Jan Palus).
427 - fix minor memory leaks in urxvt and urxvtd.
428 - fix regression in urxvtd that prevented options from being correctly
429 set (reported by Michal Vaner).
430 - implement xterm's horribly broken 1005 mouse reporting mode,
431 and an alternative 1015 mode that works in non-utf-8 locales
432 and has fewer limitations.
433 - fix a possible bug where mouse notifications didn't work after
434 startup for the upper left corner.
435 - implement our own pixbuf to pixmap rendering to get rid of
436 dependency on buggy gdk-pixbuf-xlib. Only truecolor visuals
437 are supported (Emanuele Giaquinta).
438 - apply tinting before shading when both operations are requested.
439 Previously they were intermixed when lightening and the result
440 was inaccurate and confusing. Note that now a black tint yields a
441 completely black image, regardless of shading (Emanuele Giaquinta).
442 - avoid spurious redraws of the bg image when bg is transparent or
443 when using 'root' mode (Emanuele Giaquinta).
444 - fix build on XFree86.
445 - dynamically number options according to compiletime requirements.
446 For the extra saved byte. Or so. Yay.
447 - start options at one, not zero. Wastes a bit per terminal. Maybe.
448 saves 50 instruction bytes. Possibly.
449

470 characters other than first one in the selected cell
471 (Emanuele Giaquinta).
472 - new iso14755 option to disable ISO 14755 at runtime
473 (Emanuele Giaquinta).
474 - make sure pagewise scrolling scrolls at least one line
475 (found by Mikachu).
476 - remove deprecated OSC 18 / 19 and make OSC 17 / 19 apply to

478 - add highlightTextColor resource to change the foreground colour of
479 highlighted characters (Emanuele Giaquinta).
480 - make highlightColor apply also to selected cells with reverse video
481 but not to non selected cells with reverse video (Emanuele Giaquinta).
482 - remove colorRV resource (it was enabled only with frills off).
483 - fix numlock handling, the most longstanding bug to date (Emanuele Giaquinta).
484 - reduce the number of custom bits to 4, to make room
485 for 256 colours.
486 - add support for 256 colors (Emanuele Giaquinta, Marc Lehmann).
487 - add rxvt-unicode-256color terminfo and use it by default in 256 colors mode.
488 - update rxvt-unicode terminfo to state 7744 colour pairs to cover all
489 88*88 possible pairs.
490 - actually added macosx-clipboard-native, which should have been in
491 the 9.07 release but had been forgotten.
492 - fix hang if DECAWM is not set and there are not enough columns to insert a
493 character (Emanuele Giaquinta).
494 - cub1 ("backspace") will now respect wrapping when past the rightmost column,
495 working around a shortcoming of most tty line discipline's line editing.
496 - add support for grabbing the clipboard selection and extend
497 selection{_clear,_grab,} perl bindings to optionally work
498 on the clipboard selection (based on patch by Dana Jansens).
499 - no longer force CERASE to BACKSPACE - use the system default. affects
500 default value for VERASE only when no compatible setting for
501 backspacekey was given.
502 - use higher than 38400 baudrate setting, if detected.

508
5099.07 Wed Dec 30 07:07:18 CET 2009
510 - port to glibc-2.10 changes (strchr etc. returning const char *
511 in C++), based on patches by Milos Jakubicek and Oliver Mader.
512 - the binary search algorithm to find precomposed characters
513 was faulty, skipping some possible combinations (found by
514 Mikachu).
515 - new -letterspace option, patch by Mark H. Wilkinson.
516 - enable --mlock option for urxvt with frills on
517 systems supporting it (patch by Russell Harmon).
518 - urxvt did not compile without frills enabled
519 (analysed by Matthew Rosewarne).
520 - correctly reset the mbstate after an illegal
521 input sequence when handling terminal output (Emanuele Giaquinta).
522 - avoid redrawing wide characters with combining enabled on every
523 refresh (reported by Mikachu).
524 - fix a typo preventing the ISO-646.1991 character set from being
525 recognized (http://achurch.org/patch-pile/).
526 - better warning for x11 font encoding detection failures, also,
527 try to deduce encoding from both font properties and name
528 (adapted from http://achurch.org/patch-pile/).
529 - resizing the window with the scrollbar disabled via the escapes
530 sequence could make the window bigger again (Mikachu).
531 - make sure the alignment for fd passing control messages
532 is correct and work around some NetBSD issues (Taylor R Campbell).
533 - update to libptytty 1.3.
534 - replace macosx-clipboard by a nicer version by Reza Jelveh, and move
535 the old version to macosx-clipboard-native.
536 - document the -uc option (Emanuele Giaquinta).
537 - assertions in libev are now enabled depending on frills.
538 - update AnyEvent implementation to version 5.23 API.
539 - work around arrogant bsd idiocies again: netbsd spills the default
540 namespace with lots of symbols "for gnu/gcc compatibility" even
541 though neither of them does it, and then calls the rest of the world
542 in need of fixing. go figure.
543 - on_keyboard_command is on_user_command (patch by Michael Witten).
544 - setting the selection from perl will now reset the selection screen
545 to the current screen. the screen can be manipulated using
546 the new ->selection_screen method.
547 - implement --enable-assert configure option and get rid of DEBUG_STRICT
548 (based on patch by Emanuele Giaquinta).

556 - updates libev to 3.48.
557 - the aterm code now frees the as visual and image manager objects
558 when a window was closed.
559 - do not (wrongly) adjust the virtual line length inside
560 scr_insdel_chars/ERASE (Miroslav Lichvar).
561 - fix an issue where wide tab characters caused character shifts
562 when part of them was deleted (tracked down by Miroslav Lichvar).
563 - artificially enlargen the previous character at the end of a line
564 when trying to output a character that doesn't fit. looks ugly, but
565 makes copy&paste work.
566 - remove bogus "setuid/setgid security issues" from rxvt.1.pod, they
567 no longer apply.
568 - the urgency hint is now cleared on both focus in and focus out.
569 - cache urgency hint locally to avoid server rtt on every focus change.
570 - perl 5.10 needs PERL_SYS_INIT3 on hppa.
571 - ignore byte-order marks and do not treat them like combining characters.
572 - fix build issue when CURSOR_BLINK is not defined (Emanuele Giaquinta).
573 - do some µ-optimisations to the character fast path.
574 - use a less cunning, but more robust algorithm to avoid one terminal
575 monopolising the whole process by outputting a lot of text.
576 - try to work around linux first breaking sched_yield and now breaking
577 the only known workaround.
578 - new option -icon to set _NET_WM_ICON (based on patch by Frank Schmitt).
579 - initialise the as visual only on demand, instead of unconditionally,
580 to save memory in the common case of not using visual gimmicks.
581 - try to work around bugs in a few wm's that erroneously resize
582 client windows on hint property updates by temporarily
583 disabling size hints.
584 - implement the DECSTR soft reset sequence and use it for tput init,
585 and make hard RIS and DECSTR both reset more private modes, such
586 as mouse reporting.
587 - redundantly clear mouse reporting and a few other states in
588 tput init/tput reset, for older urxvts.
589 - partial/full clear screens did cause flickering and possibly pixel
590 droppings when urxvt viewed the scrollback buffer.
591 - use current rendition style in DCH sequence.
592 - the 132/80 mode switch no longer forces a screen reset.
593 - add an osc sequence to change the border colour (Emanuele Giaquinta).
594 - new perl extension "overlay-osc", for status displays and the like.
595 - fix some minor cursor drawing issues with overlays by allowing
596 overlays to modify screen flags (to disable the cursor themselves).
597 - work around programs not restoring rstyle before rmcup
598 (analysed by Miroslav Lichvar).
599
6009.05 Sun Jun 15 20:09:20 CEST 2008
601 - new option --cd/chdir to set the starting working directory.
602 - tabbed extension now starts in the "correct" working directory.

606 with more than 31 file descriptors on non-linux 64 bit systems.
607 - correctly reset the multibyte state to the initial one
608 after EILSEQ (patch by Neil Booth). This fixes the
609 issue of rxvt-unicode not properly displaying text after an illegal
610 sequence on NetBSD and probably other systems.
611 - more intelligent property handling with -pe tabbed, works around
612 broken window managers (kwm et al.), saves bandwidth and should
613 help working window managers as well.
614 - made tabs moveable (based on a patch by Petr Machata).
615 - implement ESC [ 3 K as a more rational alternative to ESC [ 0 K.
616 - support relative paths for RXVT_SOCKET in urxvtd.
617 - the tabbed extension now blindly copies over all (rxvt-) resources
618 from the toplevel window to the children.
619 - better diagnostic on 0x0 window geometries.
620 - update AnyEvent API to version 3.4 and above.
621 - document the default value of :0 for DISPLAY.
622 - rename perl method XChangeWindowProperty to XChangeProperty.
623

625 - the "exg makes everybody happy" release.
626 - fix build with !xft.
627 - always compile in plain style scrollbar (simplifies code and looks great).
628
6299.01 Sat Jan 26 20:49:27 CET 2008
630 - be more aggressive about handling X events, this seems to be required
631 with newer xlibs (should fix the "screen stays black until event is
632 received" problem, again :)
633 - add buffered resource to control xft double-buffering.
634
6359.0 Fri Jan 25 19:34:04 CET 2008
636 - fix a crash bug where urxvtd would crash when urxvtc was called
637 with wrong arguments (I wish debian maintainers in general would
638 report bugs and their proposed fixes to the original package maintainers
639 instead of sitting on them for good measure to see if anybody notices).
640 - drawing xft compose characters was causing garbage to be drawn.
641 - correctly clear xft character background in all cases.
642 - implement bracketed paste mode (xterm private mode 2004).
643 - improve documentation on alpha channel handling, make urxvt
644 work better on servers lacking the RENDER extension when alpha
645 channels or background images are used.
646 - check for refresh after initialising to avoid staying blank
647 till the first event arrives. or so.
648 - the FORCE_UNBUFFERED_XFT feature macro works again.
649 - continuously update transparency while moving/resizing now.
650 - OSC 39/49 are deprecated and aliased to OSC 10/11.
651 - cub1 now acts as advertised (and ignores the "wrapped" state).
652 - the 132/80 mode switch now forces a height of 24, too, and
653 resets the terminal.
654 - scrollbar code cleanups.
655 - stopping children is no longer confused with children exiting.
656 - removed (undocumented) #aarrggbb format.
657 - updated to libev 3.0.
658
6598.9 Mon Dec 24 07:51:40 CET 2007
660 - fix the issue where urxvtd would not immediately close a window
661 when the command exited but only on the next X event.
662 - changed terminfo file not to use application keypad mode.
663 - fix the issue where making a selection in one urxvtd window
664 would not clear it visually in another.
665 - fix an issue of urxvt not getting background pixmap updates
666 and flickering after bg pixmap changes (reported by Mikachu).
667 - fix redraw bug in xterm scrollbar with -sr (reported by Mikachu).
668 - correctly provide dependencies for libev (µikachu).
669 - minor code reorganisations and cleanups.
670 - be more robust in case the urxvt-popup extension cannot be loaded.
671
6728.8 Sat Dec 15 19:40:39 CET 2007
673 - option -C was aliased to all unsupported options, activating
674 options that shouldn't be compiled in, leading to interesting
675 effects.
676 - updated libev, working around a bug in linux 2.4, curing the
677 symptom of urxvt not closing its window on shell exit. also
678 fixes a problem with urxvt not refreshing.
679 - the text blink callback was called even when no blinking
680 text was visible.
681 - pre-8.4 slipwheeling behaviour has been reinstated, with
682 some minor improvements.
683 - streamlined x events processing to only flush once per
684 display and not once per terminal window.
685 - quite a bit of minor code cleanups and codesize optimisations.
686
6878.7 Sun Nov 25 10:23:49 CET 2007
688 - update libev with an important bugfix that would cause crashes
689 when closing windows (when using rxvtd, and update is recommended).
690 - do not compile in the block builtin graphics with --disable-frills.
691
6928.6 Fri Nov 23 14:10:57 CET 2007
693 - upgrade libev to disable kqueue on anything but netbsd as it
694 seems to be broken everywhere else w.r.t. ptys.
695 - allow for spurious event notifications, as at least epoll and
696 especially solaris ports like to lie about them (symptoms:
697 urxvt "hangs" until there is some x11 related activity).
698 - -keysym command line options are now subjected to xlib parsing.
699 - add 'xrm' option analogous to Xt one.
700
7018.5a Wed Nov 21 10:16:33 CET 2007
702 - make it compile with --disable-transparency.
703
7048.5 Wed Nov 21 05:19:20 CET 2007
705 - expect major portability issues in this release: please test and report.
706 - converted from the veritable io manager event loop to
707 the high performance libev (http://software.schmorp.de/pkg/libev).
708 - minor tuning to the perl selection (include single words and more quoting chars).
709 - fix memory leak in pixmap code.
710 - fix a serious bug while setting the XIM destroy callback
711 on (typical) 64 bit systems.
712 - automove-background functionality re-implemented internally using :root op in pixmap
713 geometry string. For example: rxvt -pixmap "image.jpg;:root"
714 - do not link rxvtc against every lib on the planet anymore.
715 - parallel builds should work once more.
716
7178.4 Sat Oct 27 14:02:13 CEST 2007
718 - overhaul of the transparency/pixmap code (sasha).
719 - fix possible race between visual bell and poweron.
720 (reported by Martin von Gagern, gentoo?).
721 - urxvt -e no longer crashes the child.
722 - fixed some minor memleaks on incorrect usage or
723 missing DISPLAY.
724 - implement xterm 1002/1003 mouse tracking modes (exg).
725 - source code organisational cleanups (exg).
726 - updated io_manager.
727
7288.3 Wed Aug 1 20:21:31 CEST 2007
729 - new option: skipScroll/-ss, enabled by default.
730 - go with the times and expect x11 library files in /usr/lib, not
731 /usr/X11R6/lib.
732 - initial transparency improvement/afterimage support
733 patch by Sasha Vasko.
734 - add urgentOnBell resource to set the urgency hint
735 (patch by Philip Paeps).
736 - do not process focus events caused by grabs
737 (patch by Mikachu).
738 - add iso14755_52 resource to disable iso14755 5.2 (exg).
739 - add binding for backspace in iso14755 5.1 to remove the last
740 digit (exg).
741 - better option handling, support more than 30 options (exg).
742 - nuke reconf script, serves no purpose anymore.
743 - fixed and documented matcher/on_user_command processing in matcher
744 extension (tpope).
745 - compile out of the box on Solaris 10 (exg).
746 - fix MappingNotify events (reported by Stephan Walter).
747 - zero-initialise mwmhints, this seems to solve all sorts of minor
748 problems.
749
7508.2 Sat Feb 17 21:35:28 CET 2007
751 - fix make depend in src/, reported by exg.
752 - fixed typo in urxvt::GET_CUSTOM, causing the result to be wrong.
753 (patch by Sergey Vlasov).
754 - unbundled iom perl interface somewhat.
755 - scrollbar-xterm now uses the selected scrollColor instead of fg
756 (found by Aiviru).
757 - disabled linux kernel bug workaround again: disabling it gives
758 a 50% speed hit on affected machines, while enabling it gives
759 a similar speed hit to screen, which is likely the more common
760 case to work around for :/
761 - urxvt::rend2mask perl function, and utilization of it by matcher
762 (patch by Moshe Kamensky).
763 - use perl:matcher on a keysym to open most recently displayed URL.
764 - with matcher, when multiple patterns match, last wins, not first.
765 - fix make and make install with srcdir != builddir (exg).
766 - updated bundled libptytty to fix a bug where the tty would be kept
767 open (see the libptytty ChangeLog for details).
768 - delay setting the IUTF8 flag to after the tty settings have been
769 set so its value does not get lost (reported and analysed by Andrei
770 Paskevich).
771 - rip out support for obsolete sgtty.h interface.
772 - rip out support for non-POSIX termios variants.
773 - update libptytty.
774 - update iom.C, make it call ptytty::sanitise_stdfd on init.
775 - when !XFT, change rounding of colours to use a less correct formula to
776 meet user expectancies (#aaa becomes #a000a000a000 not #9f9f9f9f9f9f).
777 - change the starting offset of the pixmap set with backgroundPixmap
778 from (50,50) to (0,0) (exg).
779 - fix a typo in button_release, now meta-button2 request the value of
780 the Clipboard selection as it should (patch by Serge Koksharov).
781 - fix a bug in drawing a cell with a nonspacing char when using an xft
782 font with inheritPixmap and tintColor (exg).
783
7848.1 Thu Dec 7 22:27:25 CET 2006
785 - ｹﾘｽﾏｽﾌ゚ﾚｾ゙ﾝﾄ - zomg!!1, it's too early!!!
786 - fix the assumption that chars < 256 are single-width. Now
787 only assume this for codepoints 32 to 126 (reported by Dai.H.).
788 - $term->strwidth returned wide chars as width 1, because some jerk
789 confused min and max. Fixing this also fixes xim-onthespot.
790 Reported by Takano Akio.
791 - secondaryScroll is now enabled by default (as per the manpage),
792 reported by exg.
793 - correct the description of [percent]color rgba format in the manpage.
794 - incorporated macosx-clipboard extension by Samuel Ljungkvist.
795 - ignore (some) useless focus events (reported by mmc).
796 - updated compose table to unicode 5.0.0.
797
7988.0 Thu Nov 2 18:35:19 CET 2006
799 - combining characters cleared the area instead of creating an overlay,
800 thus losing the ability to draw combining characters properly in most
801 circumstances (reported by exg).
802 - specified fonts were incorrectly morphed to bold/italic according to the
803 basefont, even if explicitly specified (tracked down by tpope).
804 - fixed urxvt::strwidth to calculate width in the same way as screen.C.
805 - fix a crash caused by passing negative widths to overlay functions.
806 - added 'matcher' extension by tpope, replacing the mark-urls extension.
807 - improve url regex to match anything www.* (tpope).
808 - fixed bug with outline cursor color being wrong after xft fonts.
809 - update to libptytty-1.0.
810 - give proper diagnostic when RXVT_SOCKET is too long instead of
811 corrupting the stack (patch by exg).
812 - display current terminal locale in option menu.
813 - urxvtd no longer crashes when the client sends an inaccessible
814 working directory (reported by Roland Baer, possibly fixes gentoo
815 bug #143985).
816 - fixed many minor issues reported by Roland Baer.
817 - Leonid Khramov spotted a minor glitch in rxvtfont.C that
818 should not have any consequences, but was buggy nonetheless.
819 - manpage fix by exg.
820
8217.9 Mon Aug 7 18:16:07 CEST 2006
822 - fix the crashing bug people encountered with 7.8 + urxvtd + perl
823 + transparency. Ought to fix debian bug #380348.
824 - fix urxvtc.1.pod: it actually claimed -pty-fd would not work. But
825 it does! :->
826 - rxvt_fatal() in case the locale string is too long for our static buffer.
827 - fixed many, many, typos in the manpages (patch supplied by ves).
828
8297.8 Mon Jul 17 21:00:46 CEST 2006
830 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: this version will always read ~/.Xdefaults,
831 earlier versions only read it if display-resources (usually from
832 .Xresources) are not set. This avoids the #1 FAQ ("why isn't my
833 resource used") and seems to be logical behaviour, too. .Xdefaults
834 resources have a lower priority than display-specific resources.
835 - add "kuake" perl extension that does a similar thing to the kuake
836 terminal emulator (see man urxvtperl).
837 - use less "correct" color scaling that is compatible with libX11 and
838 Xft (avoids off-by-one colors resulting in striped backgrounds).
839 - the "depth" resource is now respected.
840 - preset the searchable-scrollback pattern with "(?i)" to default search
841 to case-insensitivity. Will automatically be cleared when typing an
842 uppercase character.
843 - add FORCE_UNBUFFERED_XFT define to features.h.
844 - re-enabled highlightcolor support with --enable-frills, based on
845 a patch by Martin Stubenschrott.
846 - double-buffered xft drawing did suffer from pixel offset issues
847 when pixmap transparency was enabled.
848 - strategically add # to the url-match regexes, as we really want to
849 match common URIs not common URLs. Reported by Aaron Griffin.
850 - moved on_osc_seq to on_osc_seq_perl and added a more
851 generic osc_seq.
852 - fix a bug causing double callback invocations when perl hooks
853 were invoked recursively.
854 - the automove-background extension now properly works when the
855 pixmap gets reset with an osc sequence (sqweek).
856 - selection-pastebin did not work properly with non-latin1-characters.
857 - apply colorUL only when the text colour is the default fg
858 (patch by Wu Fengguang).
859 - removed rxvtlib.h from the tarball, it had no reason to be there
860 (spotted by Decklin Foster).
861 - fix compiling with TRANSPARENT but !XPM_BACKGROUND, as reported
862 by omatunto_.
863 - slap in a using namespace std, might help on platforms that don't
864 follow C++ closely enough.
865 - fix mailto url regex, spotted within milliseconds by Jost Krieger.
866 - applied fade_color_update_func.patch by WU Fengguang.

868 bottom-most overlay would hide two overlays.
869
8707.7 Tue Feb 21 12:32:49 CET 2006
871 - use double-buffered drawing (xft fonts only). On many driver/hardware
872 combination this actually increases xft drawing speed, at the expense
873 of more network bandwidth and slight nausea on the side of the author.
874 - readline perl extension now requires shift-click instead of a normal
875 click, and eats the click.
876 - tabbed perl extension now supports -e.
877 - disabled graphics-exposures on the main drawing GC, report any
878 refresh bugs please.
879 - improve property handling for -pe tabbed: avoid unnecessary property
880 changes (for kde's benefit) at the expense of extra round-trips,
881 improve size hint setting.
882 - modified XIM according to a patch sent by Takano Akio that sets
883 the preedit rectangle for OverTheSpot, which helps some input methods
884 to correctly position their preedit window.
885 - un-optimise the line clearing on newly scrolled-in lines a bit: the
886 former reasoning was that any fg colour on default bg looks the same
887 in empty spaces, but that's not true when reversing (e.g. selection),
888 so also check for matching fg colours. This fixes the problem where
889 selecting newly scrolled-in lines would exhibit wrong colours.
890 - fix a bug in the perl interface causing focus in events to generate
891 focus out perl events, causing bad focus effects with -pe tabbed.
892 - fix a race resulting in a crash on exiting.
893 - fix a with --disable-xft that caused xfreecolors to be called on
894 colors never allocated, resulting in aborts (reported by Paco-Paco).
895 - resources on non-initial screens weren't refetched correctly
896 (reported by Paco-Paco).
897 - fix a bug in xcopyarea pass and _disable_ it, as it seems not to be
898 working in either rxvt-unicode nor in the original rxvt.
899 - removed undocumented -exec alias for the -e option.
900
9017.6 Fri Feb 10 08:52:36 CET 2006
902 - changed interpretation of [alpha] colour prefix.
903 - +option now really sets the option to default, instead of using the
904 resource value.
905 - options that require an argument now really _require_ an argument.
906 - the tabbed extension now forwards focus and key events to the
907 relevant tab window.
908 - tab colours are now configurable and have sensible defaults
909 (initial patch by hednod).
910 - option menu is extendable, readline, selection and
911 selection-autotransform can now be disabled/enabled at runtime.
912 - forcing a configure event to tabbed subwindows with -pe tabbed, for
913 the benefit of automove-background.
914 - the automove-background extension added a wrong constant offset.
915 - force refresh of XA_RESOURCE_STRING on virtual reconnect.
916 - return exit status 2 in urxvtc when urxvtd couldn't be contacted.
917 - the linux yield hack is back, now using usleep, and enabled only on
918 __linux__.
919 - further round trip eliminations in the !XFT case by remembering
920 the colour components.
921 - plain scrollbar works better with -sr.
922 - fixed half-shadow scrollbar look.
923 - more colour rtt optimisations.
924 - properly(?) free colours on window close.
925 - reorganised the FAQ into multiple sections.
926 - add ISO646.1991-IRV to the list of supported codesets.
927 - minor libptytty update.
