47
48TODO: https://salsa.debian.org/debian/rxvt-unicode/-/blob/master/debian/patches/18_expand_urxvt-tabbed.1.diff
49 - add support for systemd socket-based activation - debian bug #917105,
50 freebsd bug #234276.
51 - do not destruct perl on exit anymore: this might fail for a variety of
52 reasons, and takes unneccessary time.
53 - the old bg image resources are now provided by the background
54 extension, and perl is thus required for bg image support. No
55 configuration change is needed: urxvt autoloads the background
56 ext if any bg image resource/option is present (for OSC sequences to
57 work you need to enable it explicity). The old bg image
58 resources are also now deprecated; users are encouraged to
59 switch to the new bg image interface (see man urxvt-background).
60 - confirm-paste now checks for any ctlchars, not just newlines.
61 - searchable scrollback will now ignore bracketed paste mode sequences
62 (prompted by Daniel Gröber's patch).
63 - drop ISO 2022 locale support. ISO 2022 encodings are not supported in
64 POSIX locales and clash with vt100 charset emulation (the luit
65 program can be used as a substitute).
66 - perl didn't parse rgba colours specified as an array correctly,
67 only allowing 0 and 100% intensity for each component (this affected
68 fill and tint).
69 - when iterating over resources, urxvt will now try to properly handle
70 multipart resources (such as "*background.expr"), for the benefit
71 of autoloading perl extensions.
72 - ESC G (query rxvt graphics mode) has been disabled due to security
73 implications. The rxvt graphics mode was removed in rxvt-unicode 1.5,
74 and no programs relying on being able to query the mode are known.
75 - work around API change breakage in perl 5.28, based on a patch by
76 Roman Bogorodskiy.
77 - improved security: rob nation's (obsolete) graphics mode queries
78 no longer reply with linefeed in secure/default mode.
79 - ISO 8613-3 direct colour SGR sequences (patch by Fengguang Wu).
80 - xterm focus reporting mode (patch by Daniel Hahler).
81 - xterm SGR mouse mode.
82 - in some window managers, if smart resize was enabled, urxvt
83 erroneously moved the window on font change - awesome bug
84 #532, arch linux bug ##34807 (patch by Uli Schlachter).
85 - fix urxvtd crash when using a background expression.
86 - properly restore colors when using fading and reverse video
87 is enabled while urxvt is focused and then disabled while it
88 is not focused, or vice versa (patch by Daniel Hahler).
89 - fix high memory usage when an extension repeatedly hides and
90 shows an overlay (reported by Marcel Lautenbach).
91 - expose priv_modes member and constants to perl extensions
92 (patch by Rastislav Barlik).
93 - fix a whole slew of const sillyness, unfortunately forced upon
94 us by ISO C++.
95 - update to libecb 0x00010006.
96 - disable all thread support in ecb.h as we presumably don't need it.
97 - slightly improve Makefile source dependencies.
98 - work around bugs in newer Pod::Xhtml versions (flags incorrect formatting codes
99 in xhtml/html sections but does not interpret correct ones).
100
1019.22 Sat Jan 23 21:07:33 CET 2016
102 - NOTICE: this release updates terminfo.
103 - add terminfo capabilities for various ctrl and shift-ctrl key variants
104 (patch by Sebastian Schmidt).
105 - fix longstanding core font encoding bug where some character
106 ranges could not be mapped from unicode to the font: affected
107 encodings are big5, gb2312, iso8859-8 (hebrew), jis0201 and
108 ksc5601 (reported by Mikachu).
109 - fix crash when the number of columns is 1 and a 0 width character is inserted
110 (reported by Kuang-che Wu).
111 - fix a crash when parsing an invalid color specification (reported by Kuang-che Wu).
112 - fix a buffer overflow in font name parser (reported by Kuang-che Wu).
113 - do not start blinking cursor if the window is unfocused (reported by
114 Devin J. Pohly).
115 - change the width of underline and i-beam cursor to 2 pixels (based on
116 a patch by Omar Sandoval).
117 - add pointerShape resource to change the mouse pointer shape
118 (based on a patch by Brian Watson).
119 - a keysym resource for a key which is already bound to an
120 action now properly rebinds the key.
121 - do not report mouse motion events if Shift is active (patch by Daniel Hahler).
122 - put the alpha component last in responses to OSC color queries
123 (patch by Benjamin Herr).
124 - the key_press hook is now invoked before processing the
125 event, as documented. This change was done in 9.21 but not
126 announced and fixes debian bugs #511377, #531751 and red hat
127 bug #1105069. Note that this change breaks a few scripts,
128 such as mark-yank-urls, which rely on the previous buggy
129 behaviour that urxvt processes the event (in particular
130 keysym bindings) before invoking the hook.
131 - the tabbed extension now properly refreshes the active tab
132 on a key press when the mouse pointer is outside the terminal
133 window.
134 - add 'lookup_keysym' perl method to lookup the action bound
135 to a key combination.
136 - a key combination bound to 'matcher:select' can now be used
137 to cycle through the matches in matcher.
138 - change perl integer accessors (->width et al.) into mutators.
139
1409.21 Wed Dec 31 14:50:03 CET 2014
141 - the "moa redraw 8-bit british vintage colour management" release.
142 - NOTICE: this release updates terminfo.
143 - fix pixel droppings on overdraw when a secondary core font has the
144 same height but different ascent.
145 - implement cvvis in terminfo as blinking cursor, to distinguish it
146 from cnorm (emacs uses cvvis which is commonly a blinking cursor).
147 - when xft support was compiled in, colour queries erroneously returned
148 premultiplied values, this also affected internal queries, for example
149 when calculating faded colour. alpha is now divided out when possible,
150 which is more correct but loses colour resolution.
151 - add DECSCUSR xterm extension to set the cursor to a vertical bar.
152 - add 'extension:string' action, and associated on_action perl
153 hook, for keysym resources that invokes actions provided by
154 perl extensions. The 'perl:string' action and
155 on_user_command hook are deprecated but still supported.
156 - add 'builtin-string' action for keysym resources that restores string
157 mappings for keys that have predefined actions in urxvt.
158 - add -k option to urxvtc for killing the daemon process.
159 - document urxvtd's -e/--eval option that was implemented in 9.16,
160 but not documented.
161 - add -dockapp option to make the wm treat urxvt as a dockapp.
162 - add -mc option and multiClickTime resource to set the maximum time
163 between multi-click select events (patch by Joe Peterson).
164 - new 'eval' extension to evaluate arbitrary perl code with keysym
165 bindings. The extension also provides methods that implement basic
166 actions, such as pasting selections and scrolling.
167 - the macosx-clipboard and macosx-clipboard-native extensions have been removed.
168 - kuake extension now uses the kuake.hotkey resource to specify the hotkey.
169 - new 'matcher:select' mode of matcher to iterate over the matches with the keyboard.
170 - the 'matcher:list' feature of matcher now honours the launcher
171 associated to a matched pattern.
172 - speed-up matcher underlining on very long lines (reported by Edward Z. Yang).
173 - fix up/down commands of searchable-scrollback so that they always move
174 to the previous/next logical line with a match, if any.
175 - searchable-scrollback resource has been deprecated (use keysym instead).
176 - extension parameter passing is deprecated (use resource mechanism instead).
177 - upgrade to GPLv3 (see COPYING).
178 - compile out of the box on Solaris 10, again.
179 - fix height and position of the stippled area in next scrollbar (patch
180 by Thomas Otto).
181 - fix off-by-one bug causing the iso14755 window not to jump out of the
182 way properly.
183 - fix crash that may happen if a lib to which urxvt is linked to calls setenv.
184 - fix memory leak in special_{encode,decode} perl methods.
185 - fix refresh bug that occurs when reverse video is set on a cell
186 containing a space and with the same bg and fg colour, red hat bug
187 #830236.
188 - fix crash that may happen if an x error is received after a terminal
189 window/popup has been destroyed already.
190 - removed superfluous 0 digit from sgr terminfo sequence.
191 - greatly improve colour allocation on colour-starved pseudocolour
192 displays to avoid read-write cells instead of simply failing
193 (this is only relevant for antique 8bpp frame buffers).
194 - do not free fade colours when not doing fading (this is likely
195 only relevant for antique 8bpp frame buffers).
196 - do not specialcase 2 or 4 colour visuals, leading to
197 simpler and actually more correct code.
198 - hopefully no longer leak colours on !truecolour visuals.
199 - use consistent method names (scr_recolour => scr_recolor).
200 - use simpler (but slightly less bogus) formula for nearest
201 colour choice (this is likely only relevant for antique 8bpp
202 frame buffers).
203 - remove fallback behaviour when initialising colours - the
204 behaviour was inconsistent between startup vs. later and
205 was only effective when valid colours couldn't be allocated.
206
2079.20 Sat Apr 26 16:22:27 CEST 2014
208 - (libptytty) fix bug that prevented urxvtd from writing utmp
209 entries when using --fork (reported by Ryan Kavanagh).
210 - security bugfix: window property values could be queried even
211 in secure mode (reported by Conor McCarthy).
212 - fix build when perl is enabled and fading is disabled.
213 - fix regression that broke continuous scrolling when pressing
214 and holding the scrollbar up or down button, gentoo bug #493992.
215 - increase the maximum length of a command sequence to 32k bytes,
216 to allow longer OSC sequences (previous limit was 2k).
217 - new Ctrl-Meta-c and Ctrl-Meta-v bindings to interact with
218 the CLIPBOARD selection.
219 - new extension: selection-to-clipboard.
220 - the extensions macosx-clipboard and macosx-clipboard-native
221 are deprecated and will be removed in the next release.
222 Support for the clipboard on OS X can be more generally
223 enabled by setting the XQuartz preference to sync the OS X
224 pasteboard and the X11 clipboard.
225
2269.19 Sun Oct 27 17:16:07 CET 2013
227 - work around perl 5.18.0 breakage in tabbed extension
228 (reported by Karol Blazewicz) and in pod (Dominic Hargreaves).
229 - fix regression that caused the double-click word selection to
230 erroneously include a tab on the left of the selected word.
231 - implement FOCUS variable and focus_fade function in background
232 expression, to allow focus-sensitive background images.
233 - add support for the set cursor style (DECSCUSR) control
234 function.
235 - honour cursorColor also when the cursor style is underline.
236 - export some Color_xxx constants to Perl.
237
2389.18 Sun Mar 24 15:33:35 CET 2013
239 - fix regression that caused artifacts on resize.
240
2419.17 Fri Mar 1 13:46:08 CET 2013
242 - add shade operator in background perl extension.
243 - avoid starting or ending the selection in the middle of wide
244 characters to avoid artifacts (reported by Tiago Resende).
245 - fix artifacts that may occur if the character in the cursor
246 cell has width > 1 (reported by Tiago Resende).
247 - fix regression that causes artifacts on scrolling if
248 saveLines is 0 and the window is resized (reported by Bert
249 Münnich).
250 - fix build when perl is enabled and pixbuf and transparency
251 are disabled.
252
2539.16 Thu Dec 27 11:56:43 CET 2012
254 - the "so much new stuff your eyes will pop out" release.
255 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: renamed urlLauncher resource to url-launcher.
256 - fix processing of DEC private mode save sequences (patch by Patrick
257 Hemmer).
258 - perl extensions now have their own manpages, installed as urxvt-NAME(1),
259 e.g. urxvt-background(1) - see urxvt-extensions(1) for a list.
260 - fix disabling of cursor blink with the option-popup menu (based on a
261 patch by Jan Larres).
262 - the font height is not augmented anymore when lineSpace is non zero.
263 - fix "new pagemap" vs. "delete pagemap" mismatch ([] vs. non-[]),
264 as diagnosed by clang.
265 - fix height mismatch between active and inactive cursor when
266 lineSpace is non zero (patch by Stanislav Seletskiy).
267 - make it compile with LOCAL_X_IS_UNIX again (reported by
268 nickfailure@gmail.com).
269 - completely redone background pixmap support - users can now
270 specify arbitrary expressions (And programs) that calculate
271 new terminal backgrounds. see the urxvt-background manpage
272 for details.
273 - xrender is now required for background pixmap support.
274 - perl extensions can now provide commandline switches and resources
275 which show up in -help etc.
276 - iso14755 51 mode window now displays row and column.
277 - implement a -visual switch and move that and -depth to frills, also
278 warn when we can't get the requested visual.
279 - new env variable: RXVT_PERL_LIB.
280 - allocate all screen memory in one go and let the virtual memory
281 subsystem sort it out. this simplifies code, improves access
282 locality, saves a bit of ram and makes things a bit faster, too.
283 - remove support for libafterimage.
284 - update to CVS version of libev, for a whopping 11kb size decrease.
285 - do not ship yet another copy of ecb.h, use the one in libev or
286 libptytty instead.
287 - selectively mark some methods as cache-hot/cache cold, which
288 might speed up execution but definitely decreases codesize.
289 - Fix regression that prevented the scrollbar trough color
290 from being applied (reported by Derek B. Noonburg).
291 - Fix the scrollbar size for rxvt style (patch by Mark Robinson).
292
2939.15 Sat Jan 21 13:36:56 CET 2012
294 - remove "using namespace std" because clang erroneously
295 thinks thats an error.
296 - finding a matching font (e.g. bold version of the base font)
297 was broken (reported by Eamon Walker).
298 - fix parsing of bg image styles. They really work now.
299 - fix blurring of bg image borders when using xrender.
300 - fix xrender blur on common xrender implementations that do
301 not behave correctly when the same pixmap is used as source
302 and destination in composite operations.
303 - fix regression that caused tabbed to compute the wrong size
304 for tabs.
305 - allow again an empty suffix in a keysym list spec (patch by
306 Sung Pae).
307 - unsupported support for sun studio's CC added.
308 - fix -C option on solaris.
309
3109.14 Wed Dec 21 18:40:33 CET 2011
311 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: the urxvtd default socket path is now
312 $HOME/.urxvt/urxvtd-<nodename>.
313 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: the "list" keysym expansion now requires
314 loading of the "keysym-list" perl extension.
315 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: A scale value of 0 in the bg image
316 geometry no longer enables tiling, so as to make it possible
317 to disable both scaling and tiling.
318 - overhaul of the bg image operations. The old operations have
319 been deprecated in favour of elementary operations and
320 styles built on top of the new operations and scale/position
321 settings. (Emanuele Giaquinta).
322 - support for libafterimage is deprecated and will be removed
323 in the next release.
324 - fix a crash caused by selection_check not properly resetting
325 out-of-bounds mark values (can happen when extending a selection
326 while scrolling up in curses programs for example).
327 - do not move the selection when scrolling up and the selection is
328 outside the scrolling region (Emanuele Giaquinta).
329 - fix display of bold bright black (reported by Ben Winslow).
330 - fix memory leak when urgentOnBell is set (patch by Nathaniel
331 Filardo).
332 - fix a redraw bug that occurs when a bg pixmap is set and the
333 wm does not honour the size hints set by urxvt. Now urxvt
334 forces the size of the terminal window to be a multiple of
335 the cell size.
336 - sanitise the argument of SD / SU sequences. Fixes a possible
337 crash when the argument is big enough, red hat bug #711137
338 (Emanuele Giaquinta).
339 - correctly split long lines when scrolling.
340 - urxvt now looks for perl extensions also in $HOME/.urxvt/ext.
341 - add bell-command perl extension to execute a command when a
342 bell event occurs (Ryan Kavanagh).
343 - add set_urgency perl binding to set/reset the urgency hint.
344 - consume button release event in matcher (exg).
345 - keyboard accessible list of recent matches in matcher
346 (Bob Farrell).
347 - properly process 'keysym' sequences in tabbed when using
348 'focus follows mouse' and the focus is on the main window
349 but not on the active terminal window (patch by Martin
350 Pohlack).
351 - support for the freedesktop startup-notification protocol (patch by
352 Michael Stapelberg).
353 - the direction of VPR and VPB commands was reversed.
354 - fix alignment of inherited root pixmap when it is a different size
355 than the root window and the terminal window is off the left or top
356 edge (Mikachu).
357 - make $self visible in "eval perl expression" popup action, also
358 handle exceptions better.
359 - fix parsing of '-e' when it occurs as an option argument, such as in
360 'urxvt -title -e' (Emanuele Giaquinta).
361
3629.12 Wed Jun 29 14:34:28 CEST 2011
363 - fix regression in processing of SelectionNotify events.
364 urxvt would fail to request a selection if the owner did not
365 support the UTF8_STRING target.
366 - fix rendering of double width chars in certain circumstances, more
367 likely to happen if urxvt is compiled with 256 colors support as
368 urxvt runs out of fonts much earlier then. Fixes gentoo bug #358151
369 (Emanuele Giaquinta).
370 - restore support for 'list' syntax in keysym resources (requested by Sung Pae).
371 - always premultiply colour values - while this increases differences between
372 core fonts and xft, it is "more correct" in practical situations.
373 - disable PTYTTY_REENTRANT option - not needed for urxvt and saves a bit of code.
374 - remove lucidatypewriter from the list of fallback fonts, it was the only
375 non-xft non-cellfont in the list anyway.
376
3779.11 Mon May 2 10:34:46 CEST 2011
378 - fix compilation on GNU/Hurd, debian bug #624736.
379 - remove 'list' syntax for keysym resources, as it serves no useful purpose.
380 If you need it, poke us and provide a use case.
381 - fix alpha channel support. Premultiply alpha in colours if the visual
382 supports an alpha channel, as xrender expects premultiplied alpha
383 (Emanuele Giaquinta).
384 - fix reply to a selection request sent by an obsolete client
385 such as syncterm (patch by Marcin Cieslak).
386 - fix crash when the window is resized and the overlay is active
387 (Emanuele Giaquinta, reported by Ryan Kavanagh).
388 - match character-wise rather than byte-wise in selection
389 extension again. perl 5.8.9+ is required to avoid extreme
390 slowdowns. Fixes debian bugs #523072, #616463.
391 - fix a possible crash if the INCR transfer process for a
392 selection property timeouts and at least one chunk is
393 received. (Emanuele Giaquinta)
394 - work around a memory corruption bug in xorg's XrmSetDatabase (apparently
395 broken since http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/xorg-commit-diffs/2004-March/000239.html).
396 - fix memory corruption bug when custom command sequences bound to keys
397 were injected into an already-full pty input buffer.
398 - gdk-pixbuf is autodetected by default and preferred over libafterimage.
399 - do not prepend a newline to the selection text when the starting line
400 of the selection is not highlighted (Emanuele Giaquinta).
401 - don't swap perl env with real env, save and restore it, just in case
402 we ever get recursive perl invocations. also saves a bit of codespace
403 with gcc.
404 - fix various memory leaks (Emanuele Giaquinta).
405 - fix typo in kIC terminfo capability, debian bug #446444.
406 - document 'thickness' resource.
407 - fix debian bug #504817, to the extent possible.
408 - try to detect byte order at compile time, saves a couple of
409 hundred bytes, if your compiler is smart enough.
410 - add support for previewing the pasted data in confirm-paste
411 (Emanuele Giaquinta).
412 - added "newlines to spaces" option in selection-popup.
413 - actually enabled solaris event ports backend (was disabled by accident).
414 - revert to 38400 baud max., mission accomplished.
415 - no longer create scary "pty_fill: PLEASE REPORT" message, instead,
416 silently drain the input (problem is well understood now).
417 - no longer swallow rob nation's own graphics mode commands.
418
4199.10 Mon Dec 13 17:43:52 CET 2010
420 - the "schmorp=north korea dickey=south korea" release.
421 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: make OSC 20 simpler and more correct
422 (Emanuele Giaquinta).
423 - if options were compiled out, this could lead to the option
424 count to be defined wrongly. This is likely behind the
425 failures with gcc 4.5.
426 - explicitly depend on fontconfig and xrender when xft support
427 is enabled. Although the public Xft api uses types from
428 both, in Xft 2.2.0 these libs are private
429 dependencies only thanks to an idiotic behaviour of
430 pkg-config that was added to workaround cases like this one.
431 Fixes linking when using GNU ld with --as-needed or GNU gold
432 (based on patch by Jan Palus).
433 - fix minor memory leaks in urxvt and urxvtd.
434 - fix regression in urxvtd that prevented options from being correctly
435 set (reported by Michal Vaner).
436 - implement xterm's horribly broken 1005 mouse reporting mode,
437 and an alternative 1015 mode that works in non-utf-8 locales
438 and has fewer limitations.
439 - fix a possible bug where mouse notifications didn't work after
440 startup for the upper left corner.
441 - implement our own pixbuf to pixmap rendering to get rid of
442 dependency on buggy gdk-pixbuf-xlib. Only truecolor visuals
443 are supported (Emanuele Giaquinta).
444 - apply tinting before shading when both operations are requested.
445 Previously they were intermixed when lightening and the result
446 was inaccurate and confusing. Note that now a black tint yields a
447 completely black image, regardless of shading (Emanuele Giaquinta).
448 - avoid spurious redraws of the bg image when bg is transparent or
449 when using 'root' mode (Emanuele Giaquinta).
450 - fix build on XFree86.
451 - dynamically number options according to compiletime requirements.
452 For the extra saved byte. Or so. Yay.
453 - start options at one, not zero. Wastes a bit per terminal. Maybe.
454 saves 50 instruction bytes. Possibly.
455

474 - fix definition of sgr0 to work around limitations in luit.
475 - extend ISO 14755 5.4 mode to also print the font name of the
476 characters other than first one in the selected cell
477 (Emanuele Giaquinta).
478 - new iso14755 option to disable ISO 14755 at runtime
479 (Emanuele Giaquinta).
480 - make sure pagewise scrolling scrolls at least one line
481 (found by Mikachu).
482 - remove deprecated OSC 18 / 19 and make OSC 17 / 19 apply to

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

513 - enabled solaris event ports and kqueue backends (if available).
514
5159.07 Wed Dec 30 07:07:18 CET 2009
516 - port to glibc-2.10 changes (strchr etc. returning const char *
517 in C++), based on patches by Milos Jakubicek and Oliver Mader.
518 - the binary search algorithm to find precomposed characters
519 was faulty, skipping some possible combinations (found by
520 Mikachu).
521 - new -letterspace option, patch by Mark H. Wilkinson.
522 - enable --mlock option for urxvt with frills on
523 systems supporting it (patch by Russell Harmon).
524 - urxvt did not compile without frills enabled
525 (analysed by Matthew Rosewarne).
526 - correctly reset the mbstate after an illegal
527 input sequence when handling terminal output (Emanuele Giaquinta).
528 - avoid redrawing wide characters with combining enabled on every
529 refresh (reported by Mikachu).
530 - fix a typo preventing the ISO-646.1991 character set from being
531 recognized (http://achurch.org/patch-pile/).
532 - better warning for x11 font encoding detection failures, also,
533 try to deduce encoding from both font properties and name
534 (adapted from http://achurch.org/patch-pile/).
535 - resizing the window with the scrollbar disabled via the escapes
536 sequence could make the window bigger again (Mikachu).
537 - make sure the alignment for fd passing control messages
538 is correct and work around some NetBSD issues (Taylor R Campbell).

541 the old version to macosx-clipboard-native.
542 - document the -uc option (Emanuele Giaquinta).
543 - assertions in libev are now enabled depending on frills.
544 - update AnyEvent implementation to version 5.23 API.
545 - work around arrogant bsd idiocies again: netbsd spills the default
546 namespace with lots of symbols "for gnu/gcc compatibility" even
547 though neither of them does it, and then calls the rest of the world
548 in need of fixing. go figure.
549 - on_keyboard_command is on_user_command (patch by Michael Witten).
550 - setting the selection from perl will now reset the selection screen
551 to the current screen. the screen can be manipulated using
552 the new ->selection_screen method.
553 - implement --enable-assert configure option and get rid of DEBUG_STRICT
554 (based on patch by Emanuele Giaquinta).

561 - NOTICE: this release updates terminfo/termcap.
562 - updates libev to 3.48.
563 - the aterm code now frees the as visual and image manager objects
564 when a window was closed.
565 - do not (wrongly) adjust the virtual line length inside
566 scr_insdel_chars/ERASE (Miroslav Lichvar).
567 - fix an issue where wide tab characters caused character shifts
568 when part of them was deleted (tracked down by Miroslav Lichvar).
569 - artificially enlargen the previous character at the end of a line
570 when trying to output a character that doesn't fit. looks ugly, but
571 makes copy&paste work.
572 - remove bogus "setuid/setgid security issues" from rxvt.1.pod, they
573 no longer apply.
574 - the urgency hint is now cleared on both focus in and focus out.
575 - cache urgency hint locally to avoid server rtt on every focus change.
576 - perl 5.10 needs PERL_SYS_INIT3 on hppa.
577 - ignore byte-order marks and do not treat them like combining characters.
578 - fix build issue when CURSOR_BLINK is not defined (Emanuele Giaquinta).
579 - do some µ-optimisations to the character fast path.
580 - use a less cunning, but more robust algorithm to avoid one terminal
581 monopolising the whole process by outputting a lot of text.
582 - try to work around linux first breaking sched_yield and now breaking
583 the only known workaround.
584 - new option -icon to set _NET_WM_ICON (based on patch by Frank Schmitt).
585 - initialise the as visual only on demand, instead of unconditionally,
586 to save memory in the common case of not using visual gimmicks.
587 - try to work around bugs in a few wm's that erroneously resize
588 client windows on hint property updates by temporarily
589 disabling size hints.
590 - implement the DECSTR soft reset sequence and use it for tput init,
591 and make hard RIS and DECSTR both reset more private modes, such
592 as mouse reporting.
593 - redundantly clear mouse reporting and a few other states in
594 tput init/tput reset, for older urxvts.
595 - partial/full clear screens did cause flickering and possibly pixel
596 droppings when urxvt viewed the scrollback buffer.
597 - use current rendition style in DCH sequence.
598 - the 132/80 mode switch no longer forces a screen reset.
599 - add an osc sequence to change the border colour (Emanuele Giaquinta).
600 - new perl extension "overlay-osc", for status displays and the like.
601 - fix some minor cursor drawing issues with overlays by allowing
602 overlays to modify screen flags (to disable the cursor themselves).
603 - work around programs not restoring rstyle before rmcup
604 (analysed by Miroslav Lichvar).
605
6069.05 Sun Jun 15 20:09:20 CEST 2008
607 - new option --cd/chdir to set the starting working directory.
608 - tabbed extension now starts in the "correct" working directory.

612 with more than 31 file descriptors on non-linux 64 bit systems.
613 - correctly reset the multibyte state to the initial one
614 after EILSEQ (patch by Neil Booth). This fixes the
615 issue of rxvt-unicode not properly displaying text after an illegal
616 sequence on NetBSD and probably other systems.
617 - more intelligent property handling with -pe tabbed, works around
618 broken window managers (kwm et al.), saves bandwidth and should
619 help working window managers as well.
620 - made tabs moveable (based on a patch by Petr Machata).
621 - implement ESC [ 3 K as a more rational alternative to ESC [ 0 K.
622 - support relative paths for RXVT_SOCKET in urxvtd.
623 - the tabbed extension now blindly copies over all (rxvt-) resources
624 from the toplevel window to the children.
625 - better diagnostic on 0x0 window geometries.
626 - update AnyEvent API to version 3.4 and above.
627 - document the default value of :0 for DISPLAY.
628 - rename perl method XChangeWindowProperty to XChangeProperty.
629
6309.02 Tue Jan 29 11:58:36 CET 2008
631 - the "exg makes everybody happy" release.
632 - fix build with !xft.
633 - always compile in plain style scrollbar (simplifies code and looks great).
634
6359.01 Sat Jan 26 20:49:27 CET 2008
636 - be more aggressive about handling X events, this seems to be required
637 with newer xlibs (should fix the "screen stays black until event is
638 received" problem, again :)
639 - add buffered resource to control xft double-buffering.
640
6419.0 Fri Jan 25 19:34:04 CET 2008
642 - fix a crash bug where urxvtd would crash when urxvtc was called
643 with wrong arguments (I wish debian maintainers in general would
644 report bugs and their proposed fixes to the original package maintainers
645 instead of sitting on them for good measure to see if anybody notices).
646 - drawing xft compose characters was causing garbage to be drawn.
647 - correctly clear xft character background in all cases.
648 - implement bracketed paste mode (xterm private mode 2004).
649 - improve documentation on alpha channel handling, make urxvt
650 work better on servers lacking the RENDER extension when alpha
651 channels or background images are used.
652 - check for refresh after initialising to avoid staying blank
653 till the first event arrives. or so.
654 - the FORCE_UNBUFFERED_XFT feature macro works again.
655 - continuously update transparency while moving/resizing now.
656 - OSC 39/49 are deprecated and aliased to OSC 10/11.
657 - cub1 now acts as advertised (and ignores the "wrapped" state).
658 - the 132/80 mode switch now forces a height of 24, too, and
659 resets the terminal.
660 - scrollbar code cleanups.
661 - stopping children is no longer confused with children exiting.
662 - removed (undocumented) #aarrggbb format.
663 - updated to libev 3.0.
664
6658.9 Mon Dec 24 07:51:40 CET 2007
666 - fix the issue where urxvtd would not immediately close a window
667 when the command exited but only on the next X event.
668 - changed terminfo file not to use application keypad mode.
669 - fix the issue where making a selection in one urxvtd window
670 would not clear it visually in another.
671 - fix an issue of urxvt not getting background pixmap updates
672 and flickering after bg pixmap changes (reported by Mikachu).
673 - fix redraw bug in xterm scrollbar with -sr (reported by Mikachu).
674 - correctly provide dependencies for libev (µikachu).
675 - minor code reorganisations and cleanups.
676 - be more robust in case the urxvt-popup extension cannot be loaded.
677
6788.8 Sat Dec 15 19:40:39 CET 2007
679 - option -C was aliased to all unsupported options, activating
680 options that shouldn't be compiled in, leading to interesting
681 effects.
682 - updated libev, working around a bug in linux 2.4, curing the
683 symptom of urxvt not closing its window on shell exit. also
684 fixes a problem with urxvt not refreshing.
685 - the text blink callback was called even when no blinking
686 text was visible.
687 - pre-8.4 slipwheeling behaviour has been reinstated, with
688 some minor improvements.
689 - streamlined x events processing to only flush once per
690 display and not once per terminal window.
691 - quite a bit of minor code cleanups and codesize optimisations.
692
6938.7 Sun Nov 25 10:23:49 CET 2007
694 - update libev with an important bugfix that would cause crashes
695 when closing windows (when using rxvtd, and update is recommended).
696 - do not compile in the block builtin graphics with --disable-frills.
697
6988.6 Fri Nov 23 14:10:57 CET 2007
699 - upgrade libev to disable kqueue on anything but netbsd as it
700 seems to be broken everywhere else w.r.t. ptys.
701 - allow for spurious event notifications, as at least epoll and
702 especially solaris ports like to lie about them (symptoms:
703 urxvt "hangs" until there is some x11 related activity).
704 - -keysym command line options are now subjected to xlib parsing.
705 - add 'xrm' option analogous to Xt one.
706
7078.5a Wed Nov 21 10:16:33 CET 2007
708 - make it compile with --disable-transparency.
709
7108.5 Wed Nov 21 05:19:20 CET 2007
711 - expect major portability issues in this release: please test and report.
712 - converted from the veritable io manager event loop to
713 the high performance libev (http://software.schmorp.de/pkg/libev).
714 - minor tuning to the perl selection (include single words and more quoting chars).
715 - fix memory leak in pixmap code.
716 - fix a serious bug while setting the XIM destroy callback
717 on (typical) 64 bit systems.
718 - automove-background functionality re-implemented internally using :root op in pixmap
719 geometry string. For example: rxvt -pixmap "image.jpg;:root"
720 - do not link rxvtc against every lib on the planet anymore.
721 - parallel builds should work once more.
722
7238.4 Sat Oct 27 14:02:13 CEST 2007
724 - overhaul of the transparency/pixmap code (sasha).
725 - fix possible race between visual bell and poweron.
726 (reported by Martin von Gagern, gentoo?).
727 - urxvt -e no longer crashes the child.
728 - fixed some minor memleaks on incorrect usage or
729 missing DISPLAY.
730 - implement xterm 1002/1003 mouse tracking modes (exg).
731 - source code organisational cleanups (exg).
732 - updated io_manager.
733
7348.3 Wed Aug 1 20:21:31 CEST 2007
735 - new option: skipScroll/-ss, enabled by default.
736 - go with the times and expect x11 library files in /usr/lib, not
737 /usr/X11R6/lib.
738 - initial transparency improvement/afterimage support
739 patch by Sasha Vasko.
740 - add urgentOnBell resource to set the urgency hint
741 (patch by Philip Paeps).
742 - do not process focus events caused by grabs
743 (patch by Mikachu).
744 - add iso14755_52 resource to disable iso14755 5.2 (exg).
745 - add binding for backspace in iso14755 5.1 to remove the last
746 digit (exg).
747 - better option handling, support more than 30 options (exg).
748 - nuke reconf script, serves no purpose anymore.
749 - fixed and documented matcher/on_user_command processing in matcher
750 extension (tpope).
751 - compile out of the box on Solaris 10 (exg).
752 - fix MappingNotify events (reported by Stephan Walter).
753 - zero-initialise mwmhints, this seems to solve all sorts of minor
754 problems.
755
7568.2 Sat Feb 17 21:35:28 CET 2007
757 - fix make depend in src/, reported by exg.
758 - fixed typo in urxvt::GET_CUSTOM, causing the result to be wrong.
759 (patch by Sergey Vlasov).
760 - unbundled iom perl interface somewhat.
761 - scrollbar-xterm now uses the selected scrollColor instead of fg
762 (found by Aiviru).
763 - disabled linux kernel bug workaround again: disabling it gives
764 a 50% speed hit on affected machines, while enabling it gives
765 a similar speed hit to screen, which is likely the more common
766 case to work around for :/
767 - urxvt::rend2mask perl function, and utilization of it by matcher
768 (patch by Moshe Kamensky).
769 - use perl:matcher on a keysym to open most recently displayed URL.
770 - with matcher, when multiple patterns match, last wins, not first.
771 - fix make and make install with srcdir != builddir (exg).
772 - updated bundled libptytty to fix a bug where the tty would be kept
773 open (see the libptytty ChangeLog for details).
774 - delay setting the IUTF8 flag to after the tty settings have been
775 set so its value does not get lost (reported and analysed by Andrei
776 Paskevich).
777 - rip out support for obsolete sgtty.h interface.
778 - rip out support for non-POSIX termios variants.
779 - update libptytty.
780 - update iom.C, make it call ptytty::sanitise_stdfd on init.
781 - when !XFT, change rounding of colours to use a less correct formula to
782 meet user expectancies (#aaa becomes #a000a000a000 not #9f9f9f9f9f9f).
783 - change the starting offset of the pixmap set with backgroundPixmap
784 from (50,50) to (0,0) (exg).
785 - fix a typo in button_release, now meta-button2 request the value of
786 the Clipboard selection as it should (patch by Serge Koksharov).
787 - fix a bug in drawing a cell with a nonspacing char when using an xft
788 font with inheritPixmap and tintColor (exg).
789
7908.1 Thu Dec 7 22:27:25 CET 2006
791 - ケリスマスプレゼント - zomg!!1, it's too early!!!
792 - fix the assumption that chars < 256 are single-width. Now
793 only assume this for codepoints 32 to 126 (reported by Dai.H.).
794 - $term->strwidth returned wide chars as width 1, because some jerk
795 confused min and max. Fixing this also fixes xim-onthespot.
796 Reported by Takano Akio.
797 - secondaryScroll is now enabled by default (as per the manpage),
798 reported by exg.
799 - correct the description of [percent]color rgba format in the manpage.
800 - incorporated macosx-clipboard extension by Samuel Ljungkvist.
801 - ignore (some) useless focus events (reported by mmc).
802 - updated compose table to unicode 5.0.0.
803
8048.0 Thu Nov 2 18:35:19 CET 2006
805 - combining characters cleared the area instead of creating an overlay,
806 thus losing the ability to draw combining characters properly in most
807 circumstances (reported by exg).
808 - specified fonts were incorrectly morphed to bold/italic according to the
809 basefont, even if explicitly specified (tracked down by tpope).
810 - fixed urxvt::strwidth to calculate width in the same way as screen.C.
811 - fix a crash caused by passing negative widths to overlay functions.
812 - added 'matcher' extension by tpope, replacing the mark-urls extension.
813 - improve url regex to match anything www.* (tpope).
814 - fixed bug with outline cursor color being wrong after xft fonts.
815 - update to libptytty-1.0.
816 - give proper diagnostic when RXVT_SOCKET is too long instead of
817 corrupting the stack (patch by exg).
818 - display current terminal locale in option menu.
819 - urxvtd no longer crashes when the client sends an inaccessible
820 working directory (reported by Roland Baer, possibly fixes gentoo
821 bug #143985).
822 - fixed many minor issues reported by Roland Baer.
823 - Leonid Khramov spotted a minor glitch in rxvtfont.C that
824 should not have any consequences, but was buggy nonetheless.
825 - manpage fix by exg.
826
8277.9 Mon Aug 7 18:16:07 CEST 2006
828 - fix the crashing bug people encountered with 7.8 + urxvtd + perl
829 + transparency. Ought to fix debian bug #380348.
830 - fix urxvtc.1.pod: it actually claimed -pty-fd would not work. But
831 it does! :->
832 - rxvt_fatal() in case the locale string is too long for our static buffer.
833 - fixed many, many, typos in the manpages (patch supplied by ves).
834
8357.8 Mon Jul 17 21:00:46 CEST 2006
836 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: this version will always read ~/.Xdefaults,
837 earlier versions only read it if display-resources (usually from
838 .Xresources) are not set. This avoids the #1 FAQ ("why isn't my
839 resource used") and seems to be logical behaviour, too. .Xdefaults
840 resources have a lower priority than display-specific resources.
841 - add "kuake" perl extension that does a similar thing to the kuake
842 terminal emulator (see man urxvtperl).
843 - use less "correct" color scaling that is compatible with libX11 and
844 Xft (avoids off-by-one colors resulting in striped backgrounds).
845 - the "depth" resource is now respected.
846 - preset the searchable-scrollback pattern with "(?i)" to default search
847 to case-insensitivity. Will automatically be cleared when typing an
848 uppercase character.
849 - add FORCE_UNBUFFERED_XFT define to features.h.
850 - re-enabled highlightcolor support with --enable-frills, based on
851 a patch by Martin Stubenschrott.
852 - double-buffered xft drawing did suffer from pixel offset issues
853 when pixmap transparency was enabled.
854 - strategically add # to the url-match regexes, as we really want to
855 match common URIs not common URLs. Reported by Aaron Griffin.
856 - moved on_osc_seq to on_osc_seq_perl and added a more
857 generic osc_seq.
858 - fix a bug causing double callback invocations when perl hooks
859 were invoked recursively.
860 - the automove-background extension now properly works when the
861 pixmap gets reset with an osc sequence (sqweek).
862 - selection-pastebin did not work properly with non-latin1-characters.
863 - apply colorUL only when the text colour is the default fg
864 (patch by Wu Fengguang).
865 - removed rxvtlib.h from the tarball, it had no reason to be there
866 (spotted by Decklin Foster).
867 - fix compiling with TRANSPARENT but !XPM_BACKGROUND, as reported
868 by omatunto_.
869 - slap in a using namespace std, might help on platforms that don't
870 follow C++ closely enough.
871 - fix mailto url regex, spotted within milliseconds by Jost Krieger.
872 - applied fade_color_update_func.patch by WU Fengguang.
873 - fix a bug where (due to an optimisation in av_delete), hiding the
874 bottom-most overlay would hide two overlays.
875
8767.7 Tue Feb 21 12:32:49 CET 2006
877 - use double-buffered drawing (xft fonts only). On many driver/hardware
878 combination this actually increases xft drawing speed, at the expense
879 of more network bandwidth and slight nausea on the side of the author.
880 - readline perl extension now requires shift-click instead of a normal
881 click, and eats the click.
882 - tabbed perl extension now supports -e.
883 - disabled graphics-exposures on the main drawing GC, report any
884 refresh bugs please.
885 - improve property handling for -pe tabbed: avoid unnecessary property
886 changes (for kde's benefit) at the expense of extra round-trips,
887 improve size hint setting.
888 - modified XIM according to a patch sent by Takano Akio that sets
889 the preedit rectangle for OverTheSpot, which helps some input methods
890 to correctly position their preedit window.
891 - un-optimise the line clearing on newly scrolled-in lines a bit: the
892 former reasoning was that any fg colour on default bg looks the same
893 in empty spaces, but that's not true when reversing (e.g. selection),
894 so also check for matching fg colours. This fixes the problem where
895 selecting newly scrolled-in lines would exhibit wrong colours.
896 - fix a bug in the perl interface causing focus in events to generate
897 focus out perl events, causing bad focus effects with -pe tabbed.
898 - fix a race resulting in a crash on exiting.
899 - fix a with --disable-xft that caused xfreecolors to be called on
900 colors never allocated, resulting in aborts (reported by Paco-Paco).
901 - resources on non-initial screens weren't refetched correctly
902 (reported by Paco-Paco).
903 - fix a bug in xcopyarea pass and _disable_ it, as it seems not to be
904 working in either rxvt-unicode nor in the original rxvt.
905 - removed undocumented -exec alias for the -e option.
906
9077.6 Fri Feb 10 08:52:36 CET 2006
908 - changed interpretation of [alpha] colour prefix.
909 - +option now really sets the option to default, instead of using the
910 resource value.
911 - options that require an argument now really _require_ an argument.
912 - the tabbed extension now forwards focus and key events to the
913 relevant tab window.
914 - tab colours are now configurable and have sensible defaults
915 (initial patch by hednod).
916 - option menu is extendable, readline, selection and
917 selection-autotransform can now be disabled/enabled at runtime.
918 - forcing a configure event to tabbed subwindows with -pe tabbed, for
919 the benefit of automove-background.
920 - the automove-background extension added a wrong constant offset.
921 - force refresh of XA_RESOURCE_STRING on virtual reconnect.
922 - return exit status 2 in urxvtc when urxvtd couldn't be contacted.
923 - the linux yield hack is back, now using usleep, and enabled only on
924 __linux__.
925 - further round trip eliminations in the !XFT case by remembering
926 the colour components.
927 - plain scrollbar works better with -sr.
928 - fixed half-shadow scrollbar look.
929 - more colour rtt optimisations.
930 - properly(?) free colours on window close.
931 - reorganised the FAQ into multiple sections.
932 - add ISO646.1991-IRV to the list of supported codesets.
933 - minor libptytty update.
934
9357.5 Tue Jan 31 15:15:43 CET 2006
936 - further improvements to the careful mode detection, and font width
937 detection:
938 - fully double-wide fonts will now be correctly treated,
939 - overlap detection was improved.
940 - detect totally broken fonts (usually synthesized by xft).
941 - careful mode forced refresh sometimes clashed with blinking,
942 causing unnecessary screen redraws.
943 - better handling of XFT combining characters.
944 - enable antialiasing for some replacement fonts, as they
945 might get used for other encodings which really need it, later.
946 - remove spacing=100 from all default fonts, as this creates totally
947 weird spacing (5 times normal) with xft.
948 - removed iso10646 fallback, as xorgs iso10646 encoded fonts are mostly
949 broken.
950 - removed gnu unifont fallback, all combining characters are broken.
951 - replace named colours by xorg's rgb.txt equivalents, to
952 reduce round trip time on startup, and short-cut allocation
953 of rgb:rr/gg/bb for xft.
954 - short-cut allocation of rgb values in the xlib case
955 (patch by Paco-Paco).
956 - overhauled color management: smaller codesize, alpha support.
957 - support "rgba:rrrr/gggg/bbbb/aaaa" color specifications and
958 an "[alpha]" prefix.
959 - try to work around Xft and Xrender forcing everything to be 100%
960 transparent. Long Live Xft!
961 - do not include X11/Intrinsic.h anymore, directly use
962 Xlib/Xutil/Xresource directly.
963 - try to find a nearest matching color when color allocation fails
964 on a pseudocolor screen.
965 - SYNCCVS: compared to rxvt-cvs 2006-01-28, no relevant changes.
966 - fix version report (DA) (which was unfortunately broken).
967 - changed version number report again, now to emulate xterm closer.
968 - added the OSC sequence 702 to detect the urxvt version number.
969 - small configure updates.
970 - further RTT optimisations.
971 - backported clean-up patches for makefiles and documentation from
972 the debian package.
973 - updated doc/rxvt-unicode.spec file. It's still not maintained here,
974 but much newer than the old one.
975
9767.4 Sat Jan 28 15:26:27 CET 2006
977 - screen background wasn't always erased properly when scrolling,
978 - re-enabled clearing optimisation disabled in 7.4pre.
979 - small configure updates for libptytty.
980 - fixed version options: line output.
981 - removed stoopid debugging message left in the code.
982
9837.3 Wed Jan 25 22:47:35 CET 2006
984 - don't let iso14755 or mouse reporting get into the way of perl
985 (could lead to global grabs never being cleared).
986 - experimental OnTheSpot editing support (-pe xim-onthespot).
987 - moved Shift-Button2 paste combination to Meta-Button2.
988 - the cutchars resource will now be respected and used by the
989 selection extension.
990 - added the "remote-clipboard" extension which just runs external
991 commands to fetch and store the selection data.
992 - added -depth switch that tries to get a different visual depth
993 than the default (replaces the old PREFER_24_BIT logic).
994 - removed (unused) arabic presentation form composing sequences.
995 - be more strict when deciding that a core font glyph is too wide and
996 needs the careful rendering mode.
997 - allow more leeway for italic fonts when deciding that a character is
998 too wide and needs careful mode.
999 - redraw even more characters around characters using careful mode.
1000 - made selection-pastebin fully asynchronous.
1001 - reduced number of server turnarounds at startup by allocating
1002 atoms only once per display.
1003 - renamed on_keyboard_command to on_user_command.
1004 - changed version sos (ESC [ > c) response to be more compatible with
1005 xterm.
1006
10077.2 Sun Jan 22 21:58:16 CET 2006
1008 - bugfix: urxvt (not urxvtd) did not correctly handle multiple
1009 environments necessary, which resulted in segfaults within
1010 getenv (reproducible: urxvt -fn 9x15, open a menu once,
1011 ctrl-shift-672c).
1012 - bugfix: the selection speedup in in 7.1 unfortunately caused
1013 non-ascii characters to enlarge/move the selection.
1014 - bugfix: resizing sometimes leaked lines from the secondary to
1015 the primary screen.
1016 - bugfix: reducing window size while large amounts of text were output
1017 could lead to an assertion failure.
1018 - added "tabbed" extension that provides a crude tabbed terminal.
1019 - added "readline" extension that allows cursor positioning
1020 via mouse clicks.
1021 - now it is possible to insert the value of the CLIPBOARD selection
1022 with shift - mouse button 2.
1023 - fixed the automove-background extension to ignore coordinates
1024 in non-synthetic events.
1025 - created a separate libpty for portable and secure
1026 pty/tty/utmp/wtmp/lastlog handling, and include it in rxvt-unicode.
1027 - the non-terminfo visual bell now works asynchronously, so
1028 continuous ASCI BELs in one terminal do no longer monopolise the
1029 whole urxvt[d] process.
1030 - support some *BSD makes (for the time being, gnu make is a safe bet).
1031 - work around bugs in FreeBSD's gcc.
1032 - implemented some *BSD fixes in configure.
1033 - removed support for obsolete offix dnd protocol.
1034
10357.1 Thu Jan 19 20:25:34 CET 2006
1036 - setuid/setgid operation is now _encouraged_: security has been
1037 improved by moving privileged operations into a separate process
1038 and permanently dropping privileges within the terminal. This
1039 makes it possible to remove security checks from the perl code
1040 and gives a much safer feeling when urxvt needs to run with
1041 special privileges.
1042 - perl taint checking disabled, as urxvt no longer runs setuid/setgid
1043 itself.
1044 - new perl extension automove-background that can be used to get
1045 the same effect as pseudo-transparency with any pixmap.
1046 - new perl extension example: perl/selection-pastebin, can be used to
1047 e.g. upload the selection to a webserver and generate a url, or
1048 similar stuff.
1049 - use the scrollback buffer even when the scroll region doesn't
1050 span the whole screen, as long as it starts at row 0. Helps
1051 for programs displaying a status line at the bottom.
1052 - selection popup now shows selection in dec/hex/oct.
1053 - perl/selection: matching on unicode characters in the selection
1054 code was O(n²), which equals infinity in some degenerate cases
1055 :-> Matching is now done on UTF-8, which makes it almost instant.
1056 - perl/selection, perl/selection-autotransform: regexes are now
1057 being interpreted in the locale urxvt was started.
1058 - implemented override-redirect option and enabled it on menus,
1059 as kwin puts our windows behind the terminal (what a shoddy wm).
1060 - fixed struct utmp check in configure for OpenBSD.
1061 - complete overhaul of the pty/utmp management stuff and configure
1062 (Emanuele Giaquinta=exg).
1063 - add tsl/fsl and related capabilities to the terminfo description,
1064 to set the window title.
1065 - swap the environment in some more cases. This hopefully fixes
1066 some segfaults that might be caused by xft asking for env variables
1067 at the wrong time.
1068 - removed src/strings.C and src/menubar.C. No menubar support
1069 anymore.
1070 - removed all traces of SMOOTH_REFRESH.
1071 - nuked QNX support.
1072 - made some fixes to xpm offset and scaling code.
1073 - perl-overlays and refresh hooks were not applied in correct order.
1074 - changed coordinate-system of view_start/nsaved to be top to bottom.
1075 - iom extended to support listening for child exits.
1076
10777.0 Fri Jan 13 14:02:18 CET 2006
1078 - added sections for DISTRIBUTION MAINTAINERS and about
1079 SETUID/SETGID to the FAQ.
1080 - selection, searchable-scrollback, selection-popup and
1081 option-popup extensions enabled by default.
1082 - increased xft drawing speed for problematic fonts. The effect
1083 will likely be small as 99% of the xft slowness is server-related.
1084 - perl: much increased functionality, better overlays, popup support
1085 and much much more.
1086 - perl: urxvt::line now can set via ->t and ->r.
1087 - perl: changed interpretation of --perl-ext-common and -pe.
1088 - perl: finally implemented --perl-eval.
1089 - perl: non-blocking anyevent support.
1090 - perl: run tainted and ignore perl-eval/perl-lib if started
1091 setuid/setgid.
1092 - free the resource database: this plugs a massive memory leak. As a
1093 side effect, it also gets rid of XGetDefault calls.
1094 - free one of the cursors, fixes a small memory leak.
1095 - built-in (as opposed to terminfos) visual bell was broken/too fast.
1096 - applied minor cleanups by Ladislav Michnovic.
1097 - applied pty handling cleanups and improvements (Emanuele Giaquinta).
1098 - mark-urls launch-on-click by jepler.
1099 - removed "small" resource parsing function, as it wasn't really
1100 compatible, and not really small either.
1101 - removed PATH_ENV and PATH file search support.
1102 - removed support for locale-specific app-defaults file.
1103 - fixed a bug where out-of-bounds colour sequences could lead
1104 to crashes.
1105 - limit colour changing to the standard 88 palette instead of all
1106 colours.
1107 - XTerm_Color01 sequence returned wrong results in query mode.
1108 - iom.C now checks against destructed io_manager when unregistering.
1109
11106.3 Wed Jan 4 22:37:10 CET 2006
1111 - SECURITY FIX: on systems using openpty, permissions were
1112 not correctly updated on the tty device and were left as
1113 world-readable and world-writable (likely in original rxvt,
1114 too), and were not restored properly. Affected are only
1115 systems where non-unix ptys were used (such as most BSDs, not
1116 GNU/Linux). (found, patched and debugged by Ryan Beasley).
1117 - meta8 support was forcefully enabled in most configurations.
1118 restored configurability of this (useless) feature (reported
1119 by Mikachu).
1120 - optionally embed a perl interpreter, which can be used for more
1121 intelligent/customized selection support, visual feedback,
1122 menus, tabs etc. See the the urxvtperl manpage, the -pe option,
1123 perl*-resources and keysym resources. Not everything is there yet.
1124 - try to be more clever about differing font sizes and their ascent.
1125 Not guaranteed to work, but works better in most cases now.
1126 - fix directory permissions on install.
1127 - implemented option to disable built-in line drawing characters
1128 and fall back to the font ones (patch by Martin Pohlack).
1129 - disabled sched_yield support: the linux version is just too useless
1130 (it schedules nice'd processes before the own one for extended
1131 periods). Too bad, it could reduce system time by a factor of 5 here.
1132
11336.2 Mon Jan 2 16:03:01 CET 2006
1134 - implemented intensityStyles option which enables/disables bold/blink
1135 selecting high intensity foreground/background colours, suggested by
1136 Chuck Blake.
1137 - move iso14755 character feedback box out of the way if it would
1138 obscure the mouse cursor position.
1139 - replaced callback.h by a fixed version from gvpe that correctly
1140 returns the callback result (affects new -pty-fd semantics in urxvtc
1141 on a few architectures). Reported by darix.
1142 - include one trailing space in rectangular selections to indicate
1143 the inserted newline (yeah, weird, but visually more pleasing).
1144 - try to use sched_yield to (drastically) improve terminal data
1145 transfer efficiency.
1146 - further minor cleanups.
