48TODO: compose chars should be rendered "in one go" for xft. maybe. possibly.
49TODO: disbale bracketed paste mode option, too amny prorgams abuse it
50 - do not render variation selectors in the default font as boxes, treat
51 them as zero-width characters.
52 - allow perl-ext and perl-ext-common to override autoloaded extensions.
53 this allows tabbed to disable itself in subtabs, avoiding recursive
54 loading.
55 - update precompose table to unicode 13.0.
56 - update charset conversion tables to perl 5.32 (this only affected
57 cs_koi8_u_from_unicode).
58
599.26 Fri May 14 19:14:14 CEST 2021
60 - ev_iouring.c was wrongly required during compilation, and wrongly
61 not packaged.
62
639.25 Fri May 14 15:51:36 CEST 2021
64 - for the 17.5th anniversary, and because many distributions seem to
65 remove rxvt in favour of urxvt, this release resurrects rclock as
66 urclock.
67 - add support for systemd socket-based activation - debian bug #917105,
68 freebsd bug #234276.
69 - do not destruct perl on exit anymore: this might fail for a variety of
70 reasons, and takes unnecessary time.
71 - remove any macros from urxvtperl manpage(s), should fix debian
72 bug 858385.
73 - the old bg image resources are now provided by the background
74 extension, and perl is thus required for bg image support. No
75 configuration change is needed: urxvt autoloads the background
76 ext if any bg image resource/option is present (for OSC sequences to
77 work you need to enable it explicitly). The old bg image
78 resources are also now deprecated; users are encouraged to
79 switch to the new bg image interface (see man urxvt-background).
80 - confirm-paste now checks for any ctlchars, not just newlines.
81 - searchable scrollback will now ignore bracketed paste mode sequences
82 (prompted by Daniel Gröber's patch).
83 - drop ISO 2022 locale support. ISO 2022 encodings are not supported in
84 POSIX locales and clash with vt100 charset emulation (the luit
85 program can be used as a substitute).
86 - perl didn't parse rgba colours specified as an array correctly,
87 only allowing 0 and 100% intensity for each component (this affected
88 fill and tint).
89 - when iterating over resources, urxvt will now try to properly handle
90 multipart resources (such as "*background.expr"), for the benefit
91 of autoloading perl extensions.
92 - ESC G (query rxvt graphics mode) has been disabled due to security
93 implications. The rxvt graphics mode was removed in rxvt-unicode 1.5,
94 and no programs relying on being able to query the mode are known.
95 - work around API change breakage in perl 5.28, based on a patch by
96 Roman Bogorodskiy.
97 - improved security: rob nation's (obsolete) graphics mode queries
98 no longer reply with linefeed in secure/default mode.
99 - ISO 8613-3 direct colour SGR sequences (patch by Fengguang Wu).
100 - xterm focus reporting mode (patch by Daniel Hahler).
101 - xterm SGR mouse mode.
102 - implement DECRQM. Patch by Přemysl Eric Janouch.
103 - add missing color index parameter to OSC 4 response. Patch
104 by Přemysl Eric Janouch.
105 - in some window managers, if smart resize was enabled, urxvt
106 erroneously moved the window on font change - awesome bug
107 #532, arch linux bug ##34807 (patch by Uli Schlachter).
108 - fix urxvtd crash when using a background expression.
109 - properly restore colors when using fading and reverse video
110 is enabled while urxvt is focused and then disabled while it
111 is not focused, or vice versa (patch by Daniel Hahler).
112 - fix high memory usage when an extension repeatedly hides and
113 shows an overlay (reported by Marcel Lautenbach).
114 - expose priv_modes member and constants to perl extensions
115 (patch by Rastislav Barlik).
116 - fix a whole slew of const sillyness, unfortunately forced upon
117 us by ISO C++.
118 - update to libecb 0x00010006.
119 - disable all thread support in ecb.h as we presumably don't need it.
120 - slightly improve Makefile source dependencies.
121 - work around bugs in newer Pod::Xhtml versions (flags incorrect formatting codes
122 in xhtml/html sections but does not interpret correct ones).
123
1249.22 Sat Jan 23 21:07:33 CET 2016
125 - NOTICE: this release updates terminfo.
126 - add terminfo capabilities for various ctrl and shift-ctrl key variants
127 (patch by Sebastian Schmidt).
128 - fix longstanding core font encoding bug where some character
129 ranges could not be mapped from unicode to the font: affected
130 encodings are big5, gb2312, iso8859-8 (hebrew), jis0201 and
131 ksc5601 (reported by Mikachu).
132 - fix crash when the number of columns is 1 and a 0 width character is inserted
133 (reported by Kuang-che Wu).
134 - fix a crash when parsing an invalid color specification (reported by Kuang-che Wu).
135 - fix a buffer overflow in font name parser (reported by Kuang-che Wu).
136 - do not start blinking cursor if the window is unfocused (reported by
137 Devin J. Pohly).
138 - change the width of underline and i-beam cursor to 2 pixels (based on
139 a patch by Omar Sandoval).
140 - add pointerShape resource to change the mouse pointer shape
141 (based on a patch by Brian Watson).
142 - a keysym resource for a key which is already bound to an
143 action now properly rebinds the key.
144 - do not report mouse motion events if Shift is active (patch by Daniel Hahler).
145 - put the alpha component last in responses to OSC color queries
146 (patch by Benjamin Herr).
147 - the key_press hook is now invoked before processing the
148 event, as documented. This change was done in 9.21 but not
149 announced and fixes debian bugs #511377, #531751 and red hat
150 bug #1105069. Note that this change breaks a few scripts,
151 such as mark-yank-urls, which rely on the previous buggy
152 behaviour that urxvt processes the event (in particular
153 keysym bindings) before invoking the hook.
154 - the tabbed extension now properly refreshes the active tab
155 on a key press when the mouse pointer is outside the terminal
156 window.
157 - add 'lookup_keysym' perl method to lookup the action bound
158 to a key combination.
159 - a key combination bound to 'matcher:select' can now be used
160 to cycle through the matches in matcher.
161 - change perl integer accessors (->width et al.) into mutators.
162
1639.21 Wed Dec 31 14:50:03 CET 2014
164 - the "moa redraw 8-bit british vintage colour management" release.
165 - NOTICE: this release updates terminfo.
166 - fix pixel droppings on overdraw when a secondary core font has the
167 same height but different ascent.
168 - implement cvvis in terminfo as blinking cursor, to distinguish it
169 from cnorm (emacs uses cvvis which is commonly a blinking cursor).
170 - when xft support was compiled in, colour queries erroneously returned
171 premultiplied values, this also affected internal queries, for example
172 when calculating faded colour. alpha is now divided out when possible,
173 which is more correct but loses colour resolution.
174 - add DECSCUSR xterm extension to set the cursor to a vertical bar.
175 - add 'extension:string' action, and associated on_action perl
176 hook, for keysym resources that invokes actions provided by
177 perl extensions. The 'perl:string' action and
178 on_user_command hook are deprecated but still supported.
179 - add 'builtin-string' action for keysym resources that restores string
180 mappings for keys that have predefined actions in urxvt.
181 - add -k option to urxvtc for killing the daemon process.
182 - document urxvtd's -e/--eval option that was implemented in 9.16,
183 but not documented.
184 - add -dockapp option to make the wm treat urxvt as a dockapp.
185 - add -mc option and multiClickTime resource to set the maximum time
186 between multi-click select events (patch by Joe Peterson).
187 - new 'eval' extension to evaluate arbitrary perl code with keysym
188 bindings. The extension also provides methods that implement basic
189 actions, such as pasting selections and scrolling.
190 - the macosx-clipboard and macosx-clipboard-native extensions have been removed.
191 - kuake extension now uses the kuake.hotkey resource to specify the hotkey.
192 - new 'matcher:select' mode of matcher to iterate over the matches with the keyboard.
193 - the 'matcher:list' feature of matcher now honours the launcher
194 associated to a matched pattern.
195 - speed-up matcher underlining on very long lines (reported by Edward Z. Yang).
196 - fix up/down commands of searchable-scrollback so that they always move
197 to the previous/next logical line with a match, if any.
198 - searchable-scrollback resource has been deprecated (use keysym instead).
199 - extension parameter passing is deprecated (use resource mechanism instead).
200 - upgrade to GPLv3 (see COPYING).
201 - compile out of the box on Solaris 10, again.
202 - fix height and position of the stippled area in next scrollbar (patch
203 by Thomas Otto).
204 - fix off-by-one bug causing the iso14755 window not to jump out of the
205 way properly.
206 - fix crash that may happen if a lib to which urxvt is linked to calls setenv.
207 - fix memory leak in special_{encode,decode} perl methods.
208 - fix refresh bug that occurs when reverse video is set on a cell
209 containing a space and with the same bg and fg colour, red hat bug
210 #830236.
211 - fix crash that may happen if an x error is received after a terminal
212 window/popup has been destroyed already.
213 - removed superfluous 0 digit from sgr terminfo sequence.
214 - greatly improve colour allocation on colour-starved pseudocolour
215 displays to avoid read-write cells instead of simply failing
216 (this is only relevant for antique 8bpp frame buffers).
217 - do not free fade colours when not doing fading (this is likely
218 only relevant for antique 8bpp frame buffers).
219 - do not specialcase 2 or 4 colour visuals, leading to
220 simpler and actually more correct code.
221 - hopefully no longer leak colours on !truecolour visuals.
222 - use consistent method names (scr_recolour => scr_recolor).
223 - use simpler (but slightly less bogus) formula for nearest
224 colour choice (this is likely only relevant for antique 8bpp
225 frame buffers).
226 - remove fallback behaviour when initialising colours - the
227 behaviour was inconsistent between startup vs. later and
228 was only effective when valid colours couldn't be allocated.
229
2309.20 Sat Apr 26 16:22:27 CEST 2014
231 - (libptytty) fix bug that prevented urxvtd from writing utmp
232 entries when using --fork (reported by Ryan Kavanagh).
233 - security bugfix: window property values could be queried even
234 in secure mode (reported by Conor McCarthy).
235 - fix build when perl is enabled and fading is disabled.
236 - fix regression that broke continuous scrolling when pressing
237 and holding the scrollbar up or down button, gentoo bug #493992.
238 - increase the maximum length of a command sequence to 32k bytes,
239 to allow longer OSC sequences (previous limit was 2k).
240 - new Ctrl-Meta-c and Ctrl-Meta-v bindings to interact with
241 the CLIPBOARD selection.
242 - new extension: selection-to-clipboard.
243 - the extensions macosx-clipboard and macosx-clipboard-native
244 are deprecated and will be removed in the next release.
245 Support for the clipboard on OS X can be more generally
246 enabled by setting the XQuartz preference to sync the OS X
247 pasteboard and the X11 clipboard.
248
2499.19 Sun Oct 27 17:16:07 CET 2013
250 - work around perl 5.18.0 breakage in tabbed extension
251 (reported by Karol Blazewicz) and in pod (Dominic Hargreaves).
252 - fix regression that caused the double-click word selection to
253 erroneously include a tab on the left of the selected word.
254 - implement FOCUS variable and focus_fade function in background
255 expression, to allow focus-sensitive background images.
256 - add support for the set cursor style (DECSCUSR) control
257 function.
258 - honour cursorColor also when the cursor style is underline.
259 - export some Color_xxx constants to Perl.
260
2619.18 Sun Mar 24 15:33:35 CET 2013
262 - fix regression that caused artifacts on resize.
263
2649.17 Fri Mar 1 13:46:08 CET 2013
265 - add shade operator in background perl extension.
266 - avoid starting or ending the selection in the middle of wide
267 characters to avoid artifacts (reported by Tiago Resende).
268 - fix artifacts that may occur if the character in the cursor
269 cell has width > 1 (reported by Tiago Resende).
270 - fix regression that causes artifacts on scrolling if
271 saveLines is 0 and the window is resized (reported by Bert
272 Münnich).
273 - fix build when perl is enabled and pixbuf and transparency
274 are disabled.
275
2769.16 Thu Dec 27 11:56:43 CET 2012
277 - the "so much new stuff your eyes will pop out" release.
278 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: renamed urlLauncher resource to url-launcher.
279 - fix processing of DEC private mode save sequences (patch by Patrick
280 Hemmer).
281 - perl extensions now have their own manpages, installed as urxvt-NAME(1),
282 e.g. urxvt-background(1) - see urxvt-extensions(1) for a list.
283 - fix disabling of cursor blink with the option-popup menu (based on a
284 patch by Jan Larres).
285 - the font height is not augmented anymore when lineSpace is non zero.
286 - fix "new pagemap" vs. "delete pagemap" mismatch ([] vs. non-[]),
287 as diagnosed by clang.
288 - fix height mismatch between active and inactive cursor when
289 lineSpace is non zero (patch by Stanislav Seletskiy).
290 - make it compile with LOCAL_X_IS_UNIX again (reported by
291 nickfailure@gmail.com).
292 - completely redone background pixmap support - users can now
293 specify arbitrary expressions (And programs) that calculate
294 new terminal backgrounds. see the urxvt-background manpage
295 for details.
296 - xrender is now required for background pixmap support.
297 - perl extensions can now provide commandline switches and resources
298 which show up in -help etc.
299 - iso14755 51 mode window now displays row and column.
300 - implement a -visual switch and move that and -depth to frills, also
301 warn when we can't get the requested visual.
302 - new env variable: RXVT_PERL_LIB.
303 - allocate all screen memory in one go and let the virtual memory
304 subsystem sort it out. this simplifies code, improves access
305 locality, saves a bit of ram and makes things a bit faster, too.
306 - remove support for libafterimage.
307 - update to CVS version of libev, for a whopping 11kb size decrease.
308 - do not ship yet another copy of ecb.h, use the one in libev or
309 libptytty instead.
310 - selectively mark some methods as cache-hot/cache cold, which
311 might speed up execution but definitely decreases codesize.
312 - Fix regression that prevented the scrollbar trough color
313 from being applied (reported by Derek B. Noonburg).
314 - Fix the scrollbar size for rxvt style (patch by Mark Robinson).
315
3169.15 Sat Jan 21 13:36:56 CET 2012
317 - remove "using namespace std" because clang erroneously
318 thinks thats an error.
319 - finding a matching font (e.g. bold version of the base font)
320 was broken (reported by Eamon Walker).
321 - fix parsing of bg image styles. They really work now.
322 - fix blurring of bg image borders when using xrender.
323 - fix xrender blur on common xrender implementations that do
324 not behave correctly when the same pixmap is used as source
325 and destination in composite operations.
326 - fix regression that caused tabbed to compute the wrong size
327 for tabs.
328 - allow again an empty suffix in a keysym list spec (patch by
329 Sung Pae).
330 - unsupported support for sun studio's CC added.
331 - fix -C option on solaris.
332
3339.14 Wed Dec 21 18:40:33 CET 2011
334 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: the urxvtd default socket path is now
335 $HOME/.urxvt/urxvtd-<nodename>.
336 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: the "list" keysym expansion now requires
337 loading of the "keysym-list" perl extension.
338 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: A scale value of 0 in the bg image
339 geometry no longer enables tiling, so as to make it possible
340 to disable both scaling and tiling.
341 - overhaul of the bg image operations. The old operations have
342 been deprecated in favour of elementary operations and
343 styles built on top of the new operations and scale/position
344 settings. (Emanuele Giaquinta).
345 - support for libafterimage is deprecated and will be removed
346 in the next release.
347 - fix a crash caused by selection_check not properly resetting
348 out-of-bounds mark values (can happen when extending a selection
349 while scrolling up in curses programs for example).
350 - do not move the selection when scrolling up and the selection is
351 outside the scrolling region (Emanuele Giaquinta).
352 - fix display of bold bright black (reported by Ben Winslow).
353 - fix memory leak when urgentOnBell is set (patch by Nathaniel
354 Filardo).
355 - fix a redraw bug that occurs when a bg pixmap is set and the
356 wm does not honour the size hints set by urxvt. Now urxvt
357 forces the size of the terminal window to be a multiple of
358 the cell size.
359 - sanitise the argument of SD / SU sequences. Fixes a possible
360 crash when the argument is big enough, red hat bug #711137
361 (Emanuele Giaquinta).
362 - correctly split long lines when scrolling.
363 - urxvt now looks for perl extensions also in $HOME/.urxvt/ext.
364 - add bell-command perl extension to execute a command when a
365 bell event occurs (Ryan Kavanagh).
366 - add set_urgency perl binding to set/reset the urgency hint.
367 - consume button release event in matcher (exg).
368 - keyboard accessible list of recent matches in matcher
369 (Bob Farrell).
370 - properly process 'keysym' sequences in tabbed when using
371 'focus follows mouse' and the focus is on the main window
372 but not on the active terminal window (patch by Martin
373 Pohlack).
374 - support for the freedesktop startup-notification protocol (patch by
375 Michael Stapelberg).
376 - the direction of VPR and VPB commands was reversed.
377 - fix alignment of inherited root pixmap when it is a different size
378 than the root window and the terminal window is off the left or top
379 edge (Mikachu).
380 - make $self visible in "eval perl expression" popup action, also
381 handle exceptions better.
382 - fix parsing of '-e' when it occurs as an option argument, such as in
383 'urxvt -title -e' (Emanuele Giaquinta).
384
3859.12 Wed Jun 29 14:34:28 CEST 2011
386 - fix regression in processing of SelectionNotify events.
387 urxvt would fail to request a selection if the owner did not
388 support the UTF8_STRING target.
389 - fix rendering of double width chars in certain circumstances, more
390 likely to happen if urxvt is compiled with 256 colors support as
391 urxvt runs out of fonts much earlier then. Fixes gentoo bug #358151
392 (Emanuele Giaquinta).
393 - restore support for 'list' syntax in keysym resources (requested by Sung Pae).
394 - always premultiply colour values - while this increases differences between
395 core fonts and xft, it is "more correct" in practical situations.
396 - disable PTYTTY_REENTRANT option - not needed for urxvt and saves a bit of code.
397 - remove lucidatypewriter from the list of fallback fonts, it was the only
398 non-xft non-cellfont in the list anyway.
399
4009.11 Mon May 2 10:34:46 CEST 2011
401 - fix compilation on GNU/Hurd, debian bug #624736.
402 - remove 'list' syntax for keysym resources, as it serves no useful purpose.
403 If you need it, poke us and provide a use case.
404 - fix alpha channel support. Premultiply alpha in colours if the visual
405 supports an alpha channel, as xrender expects premultiplied alpha
406 (Emanuele Giaquinta).
407 - fix reply to a selection request sent by an obsolete client
408 such as syncterm (patch by Marcin Cieslak).
409 - fix crash when the window is resized and the overlay is active
410 (Emanuele Giaquinta, reported by Ryan Kavanagh).
411 - match character-wise rather than byte-wise in selection
412 extension again. perl 5.8.9+ is required to avoid extreme
413 slowdowns. Fixes debian bugs #523072, #616463.
414 - fix a possible crash if the INCR transfer process for a
415 selection property timeouts and at least one chunk is
416 received. (Emanuele Giaquinta)
417 - work around a memory corruption bug in xorg's XrmSetDatabase (apparently
418 broken since http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/xorg-commit-diffs/2004-March/000239.html).
419 - fix memory corruption bug when custom command sequences bound to keys
420 were injected into an already-full pty input buffer.
421 - gdk-pixbuf is autodetected by default and preferred over libafterimage.
422 - do not prepend a newline to the selection text when the starting line
423 of the selection is not highlighted (Emanuele Giaquinta).
424 - don't swap perl env with real env, save and restore it, just in case
425 we ever get recursive perl invocations. also saves a bit of codespace
426 with gcc.
427 - fix various memory leaks (Emanuele Giaquinta).
428 - fix typo in kIC terminfo capability, debian bug #446444.
429 - document 'thickness' resource.
430 - fix debian bug #504817, to the extent possible.
431 - try to detect byte order at compile time, saves a couple of
432 hundred bytes, if your compiler is smart enough.
433 - add support for previewing the pasted data in confirm-paste
434 (Emanuele Giaquinta).
435 - added "newlines to spaces" option in selection-popup.
436 - actually enabled solaris event ports backend (was disabled by accident).
437 - revert to 38400 baud max., mission accomplished.
438 - no longer create scary "pty_fill: PLEASE REPORT" message, instead,
439 silently drain the input (problem is well understood now).
440 - no longer swallow rob nation's own graphics mode commands.
441
4429.10 Mon Dec 13 17:43:52 CET 2010
443 - the "schmorp=north korea dickey=south korea" release.
444 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: make OSC 20 simpler and more correct
445 (Emanuele Giaquinta).
446 - if options were compiled out, this could lead to the option
447 count to be defined wrongly. This is likely behind the
448 failures with gcc 4.5.
449 - explicitly depend on fontconfig and xrender when xft support
450 is enabled. Although the public Xft api uses types from
451 both, in Xft 2.2.0 these libs are private
452 dependencies only thanks to an idiotic behaviour of
453 pkg-config that was added to workaround cases like this one.
454 Fixes linking when using GNU ld with --as-needed or GNU gold
455 (based on patch by Jan Palus).
456 - fix minor memory leaks in urxvt and urxvtd.
457 - fix regression in urxvtd that prevented options from being correctly
458 set (reported by Michal Vaner).
459 - implement xterm's horribly broken 1005 mouse reporting mode,
460 and an alternative 1015 mode that works in non-utf-8 locales
461 and has fewer limitations.
462 - fix a possible bug where mouse notifications didn't work after
463 startup for the upper left corner.
464 - implement our own pixbuf to pixmap rendering to get rid of
465 dependency on buggy gdk-pixbuf-xlib. Only truecolor visuals
466 are supported (Emanuele Giaquinta).
467 - apply tinting before shading when both operations are requested.
468 Previously they were intermixed when lightening and the result
469 was inaccurate and confusing. Note that now a black tint yields a
470 completely black image, regardless of shading (Emanuele Giaquinta).
471 - avoid spurious redraws of the bg image when bg is transparent or
472 when using 'root' mode (Emanuele Giaquinta).
473 - fix build on XFree86.
474 - dynamically number options according to compiletime requirements.
475 For the extra saved byte. Or so. Yay.
476 - start options at one, not zero. Wastes a bit per terminal. Maybe.
477 saves 50 instruction bytes. Possibly.
478
4799.09 Sat Nov 13 01:39:07 CET 2010

490 (Emanuele Giaquinta).
491 - properly set VSTATUS in termios for *BSD (reported by Ed Schouten).
492 - fix utmpx detection on upcoming FreeBSD 9.
493 - Use COMPOUND_TEXT encoding for WM_NAME/WM_ICON_NAME value when it
494 is not fully convertible to STRING (patch by James Cloos).
495 - fix a buffer overflow that would cause wrong key sequences to
496 be generated for numpad keys (introduced in 9.05).
497 - fix definition of sgr0 to work around limitations in luit.
498 - extend ISO 14755 5.4 mode to also print the font name of the
499 characters other than first one in the selected cell
500 (Emanuele Giaquinta).
501 - new iso14755 option to disable ISO 14755 at runtime
502 (Emanuele Giaquinta).
503 - make sure pagewise scrolling scrolls at least one line
504 (found by Mikachu).
505 - remove deprecated OSC 18 / 19 and make OSC 17 / 19 apply to
506 highlightColor / highlightTextColor (Emanuele Giaquinta).
507 - add highlightTextColor resource to change the foreground colour of
508 highlighted characters (Emanuele Giaquinta).
509 - make highlightColor apply also to selected cells with reverse video
510 but not to non selected cells with reverse video (Emanuele Giaquinta).
511 - remove colorRV resource (it was enabled only with frills off).
512 - fix numlock handling, the most longstanding bug to date (Emanuele Giaquinta).
513 - reduce the number of custom bits to 4, to make room
514 for 256 colours.
515 - add support for 256 colors (Emanuele Giaquinta, Marc Lehmann).
516 - add rxvt-unicode-256color terminfo and use it by default in 256 colors mode.
517 - update rxvt-unicode terminfo to state 7744 colour pairs to cover all
518 88*88 possible pairs.
519 - actually added macosx-clipboard-native, which should have been in
520 the 9.07 release but had been forgotten.
521 - fix hang if DECAWM is not set and there are not enough columns to insert a
522 character (Emanuele Giaquinta).
523 - cub1 ("backspace") will now respect wrapping when past the rightmost column,
524 working around a shortcoming of most tty line discipline's line editing.
525 - add support for grabbing the clipboard selection and extend
526 selection{_clear,_grab,} perl bindings to optionally work
527 on the clipboard selection (based on patch by Dana Jansens).
528 - no longer force CERASE to BACKSPACE - use the system default. affects
529 default value for VERASE only when no compatible setting for
530 backspacekey was given.
531 - use higher than 38400 baudrate setting, if detected.
532 - erase screen would clear to the wrong background when blinking
533 was enabled (which selects high intensity under some circumstances).
534 - scr_kill_char didn't touch the line.
535 - upgrade and port to libev-4.01.
536 - enabled solaris event ports and kqueue backends (if available).
537
5389.07 Wed Dec 30 07:07:18 CET 2009
539 - port to glibc-2.10 changes (strchr etc. returning const char *
540 in C++), based on patches by Milos Jakubicek and Oliver Mader.
541 - the binary search algorithm to find precomposed characters
542 was faulty, skipping some possible combinations (found by
543 Mikachu).
544 - new -letterspace option, patch by Mark H. Wilkinson.
545 - enable --mlock option for urxvt with frills on
546 systems supporting it (patch by Russell Harmon).
547 - urxvt did not compile without frills enabled
548 (analysed by Matthew Rosewarne).
549 - correctly reset the mbstate after an illegal
550 input sequence when handling terminal output (Emanuele Giaquinta).
551 - avoid redrawing wide characters with combining enabled on every
552 refresh (reported by Mikachu).
553 - fix a typo preventing the ISO-646.1991 character set from being
554 recognized (http://achurch.org/patch-pile/).
555 - better warning for x11 font encoding detection failures, also,
556 try to deduce encoding from both font properties and name
557 (adapted from http://achurch.org/patch-pile/).
558 - resizing the window with the scrollbar disabled via the escapes
559 sequence could make the window bigger again (Mikachu).
560 - make sure the alignment for fd passing control messages
561 is correct and work around some NetBSD issues (Taylor R Campbell).
562 - update to libptytty 1.3.
563 - replace macosx-clipboard by a nicer version by Reza Jelveh, and move
564 the old version to macosx-clipboard-native.
565 - document the -uc option (Emanuele Giaquinta).
566 - assertions in libev are now enabled depending on frills.
567 - update AnyEvent implementation to version 5.23 API.
568 - work around arrogant bsd idiocies again: netbsd spills the default
569 namespace with lots of symbols "for gnu/gcc compatibility" even
570 though neither of them does it, and then calls the rest of the world
571 in need of fixing. go figure.
572 - on_keyboard_command is on_user_command (patch by Michael Witten).
573 - setting the selection from perl will now reset the selection screen
574 to the current screen. the screen can be manipulated using
575 the new ->selection_screen method.
576 - implement --enable-assert configure option and get rid of DEBUG_STRICT
577 (based on patch by Emanuele Giaquinta).

584 - NOTICE: this release updates terminfo/termcap.
585 - updates libev to 3.48.
586 - the aterm code now frees the as visual and image manager objects
587 when a window was closed.
588 - do not (wrongly) adjust the virtual line length inside
589 scr_insdel_chars/ERASE (Miroslav Lichvar).
590 - fix an issue where wide tab characters caused character shifts
591 when part of them was deleted (tracked down by Miroslav Lichvar).
592 - artificially enlargen the previous character at the end of a line
593 when trying to output a character that doesn't fit. looks ugly, but
594 makes copy&paste work.
595 - remove bogus "setuid/setgid security issues" from rxvt.1.pod, they
596 no longer apply.
597 - the urgency hint is now cleared on both focus in and focus out.
598 - cache urgency hint locally to avoid server rtt on every focus change.
599 - perl 5.10 needs PERL_SYS_INIT3 on hppa.
600 - ignore byte-order marks and do not treat them like combining characters.
601 - fix build issue when CURSOR_BLINK is not defined (Emanuele Giaquinta).
602 - do some µ-optimisations to the character fast path.
603 - use a less cunning, but more robust algorithm to avoid one terminal
604 monopolising the whole process by outputting a lot of text.
605 - try to work around linux first breaking sched_yield and now breaking
606 the only known workaround.
607 - new option -icon to set _NET_WM_ICON (based on patch by Frank Schmitt).
608 - initialise the as visual only on demand, instead of unconditionally,
609 to save memory in the common case of not using visual gimmicks.
610 - try to work around bugs in a few wm's that erroneously resize
611 client windows on hint property updates by temporarily
612 disabling size hints.
613 - implement the DECSTR soft reset sequence and use it for tput init,
614 and make hard RIS and DECSTR both reset more private modes, such
615 as mouse reporting.
616 - redundantly clear mouse reporting and a few other states in
617 tput init/tput reset, for older urxvts.
618 - partial/full clear screens did cause flickering and possibly pixel
619 droppings when urxvt viewed the scrollback buffer.
620 - use current rendition style in DCH sequence.
621 - the 132/80 mode switch no longer forces a screen reset.
622 - add an osc sequence to change the border colour (Emanuele Giaquinta).
623 - new perl extension "overlay-osc", for status displays and the like.
624 - fix some minor cursor drawing issues with overlays by allowing
625 overlays to modify screen flags (to disable the cursor themselves).
626 - work around programs not restoring rstyle before rmcup
627 (analysed by Miroslav Lichvar).
628
6299.05 Sun Jun 15 20:09:20 CEST 2008
630 - new option --cd/chdir to set the starting working directory.

635 with more than 31 file descriptors on non-linux 64 bit systems.
636 - correctly reset the multibyte state to the initial one
637 after EILSEQ (patch by Neil Booth). This fixes the
638 issue of rxvt-unicode not properly displaying text after an illegal
639 sequence on NetBSD and probably other systems.
640 - more intelligent property handling with -pe tabbed, works around
641 broken window managers (kwm et al.), saves bandwidth and should
642 help working window managers as well.
643 - made tabs moveable (based on a patch by Petr Machata).
644 - implement ESC [ 3 K as a more rational alternative to ESC [ 0 K.
645 - support relative paths for RXVT_SOCKET in urxvtd.
646 - the tabbed extension now blindly copies over all (rxvt-) resources
647 from the toplevel window to the children.
648 - better diagnostic on 0x0 window geometries.
649 - update AnyEvent API to version 3.4 and above.
650 - document the default value of :0 for DISPLAY.
651 - rename perl method XChangeWindowProperty to XChangeProperty.
652
6539.02 Tue Jan 29 11:58:36 CET 2008
654 - the "exg makes everybody happy" release.
655 - fix build with !xft.
656 - always compile in plain style scrollbar (simplifies code and looks great).
657
6589.01 Sat Jan 26 20:49:27 CET 2008
659 - be more aggressive about handling X events, this seems to be required
660 with newer xlibs (should fix the "screen stays black until event is
661 received" problem, again :)
662 - add buffered resource to control xft double-buffering.
663
6649.0 Fri Jan 25 19:34:04 CET 2008
665 - fix a crash bug where urxvtd would crash when urxvtc was called
666 with wrong arguments (I wish debian maintainers in general would
667 report bugs and their proposed fixes to the original package maintainers
668 instead of sitting on them for good measure to see if anybody notices).
669 - drawing xft compose characters was causing garbage to be drawn.
670 - correctly clear xft character background in all cases.
671 - implement bracketed paste mode (xterm private mode 2004).
672 - improve documentation on alpha channel handling, make urxvt
673 work better on servers lacking the RENDER extension when alpha
674 channels or background images are used.
675 - check for refresh after initialising to avoid staying blank
676 till the first event arrives. or so.
677 - the FORCE_UNBUFFERED_XFT feature macro works again.
678 - continuously update transparency while moving/resizing now.
679 - OSC 39/49 are deprecated and aliased to OSC 10/11.
680 - cub1 now acts as advertised (and ignores the "wrapped" state).
681 - the 132/80 mode switch now forces a height of 24, too, and
682 resets the terminal.
683 - scrollbar code cleanups.
684 - stopping children is no longer confused with children exiting.
685 - removed (undocumented) #aarrggbb format.
686 - updated to libev 3.0.
687
6888.9 Mon Dec 24 07:51:40 CET 2007
689 - fix the issue where urxvtd would not immediately close a window
690 when the command exited but only on the next X event.
691 - changed terminfo file not to use application keypad mode.
692 - fix the issue where making a selection in one urxvtd window
693 would not clear it visually in another.
694 - fix an issue of urxvt not getting background pixmap updates
695 and flickering after bg pixmap changes (reported by Mikachu).
696 - fix redraw bug in xterm scrollbar with -sr (reported by Mikachu).
697 - correctly provide dependencies for libev (µikachu).
698 - minor code reorganisations and cleanups.
699 - be more robust in case the urxvt-popup extension cannot be loaded.
700
7018.8 Sat Dec 15 19:40:39 CET 2007
702 - option -C was aliased to all unsupported options, activating
703 options that shouldn't be compiled in, leading to interesting
704 effects.
705 - updated libev, working around a bug in linux 2.4, curing the
706 symptom of urxvt not closing its window on shell exit. also
707 fixes a problem with urxvt not refreshing.
708 - the text blink callback was called even when no blinking
709 text was visible.
710 - pre-8.4 slipwheeling behaviour has been reinstated, with
711 some minor improvements.
712 - streamlined x events processing to only flush once per
713 display and not once per terminal window.
714 - quite a bit of minor code cleanups and codesize optimisations.
715
7168.7 Sun Nov 25 10:23:49 CET 2007
717 - update libev with an important bugfix that would cause crashes
718 when closing windows (when using rxvtd, and update is recommended).
719 - do not compile in the block builtin graphics with --disable-frills.
720
7218.6 Fri Nov 23 14:10:57 CET 2007
722 - upgrade libev to disable kqueue on anything but netbsd as it
723 seems to be broken everywhere else w.r.t. ptys.
724 - allow for spurious event notifications, as at least epoll and
725 especially solaris ports like to lie about them (symptoms:
726 urxvt "hangs" until there is some x11 related activity).
727 - -keysym command line options are now subjected to xlib parsing.
728 - add 'xrm' option analogous to Xt one.
729
7308.5a Wed Nov 21 10:16:33 CET 2007
731 - make it compile with --disable-transparency.
732
7338.5 Wed Nov 21 05:19:20 CET 2007
734 - expect major portability issues in this release: please test and report.
735 - converted from the veritable io manager event loop to
736 the high performance libev (http://software.schmorp.de/pkg/libev).
737 - minor tuning to the perl selection (include single words and more quoting chars).
738 - fix memory leak in pixmap code.
739 - fix a serious bug while setting the XIM destroy callback
740 on (typical) 64 bit systems.
741 - automove-background functionality re-implemented internally using :root op in pixmap
742 geometry string. For example: rxvt -pixmap "image.jpg;:root"
743 - do not link rxvtc against every lib on the planet anymore.
744 - parallel builds should work once more.
745
7468.4 Sat Oct 27 14:02:13 CEST 2007
747 - overhaul of the transparency/pixmap code (sasha).
748 - fix possible race between visual bell and poweron.

769 digit (exg).
770 - better option handling, support more than 30 options (exg).
771 - nuke reconf script, serves no purpose anymore.
772 - fixed and documented matcher/on_user_command processing in matcher
773 extension (tpope).
774 - compile out of the box on Solaris 10 (exg).
775 - fix MappingNotify events (reported by Stephan Walter).
776 - zero-initialise mwmhints, this seems to solve all sorts of minor
777 problems.
778
7798.2 Sat Feb 17 21:35:28 CET 2007
780 - fix make depend in src/, reported by exg.
781 - fixed typo in urxvt::GET_CUSTOM, causing the result to be wrong.
782 (patch by Sergey Vlasov).
783 - unbundled iom perl interface somewhat.
784 - scrollbar-xterm now uses the selected scrollColor instead of fg
785 (found by Aiviru).
786 - disabled linux kernel bug workaround again: disabling it gives
787 a 50% speed hit on affected machines, while enabling it gives
788 a similar speed hit to screen, which is likely the more common
789 case to work around for :/
790 - urxvt::rend2mask perl function, and utilization of it by matcher
791 (patch by Moshe Kamensky).
792 - use perl:matcher on a keysym to open most recently displayed URL.
793 - with matcher, when multiple patterns match, last wins, not first.
794 - fix make and make install with srcdir != builddir (exg).
795 - updated bundled libptytty to fix a bug where the tty would be kept
796 open (see the libptytty ChangeLog for details).
797 - delay setting the IUTF8 flag to after the tty settings have been
798 set so its value does not get lost (reported and analysed by Andrei
799 Paskevich).
800 - rip out support for obsolete sgtty.h interface.
801 - rip out support for non-POSIX termios variants.
802 - update libptytty.
803 - update iom.C, make it call ptytty::sanitise_stdfd on init.
804 - when !XFT, change rounding of colours to use a less correct formula to
805 meet user expectancies (#aaa becomes #a000a000a000 not #9f9f9f9f9f9f).
806 - change the starting offset of the pixmap set with backgroundPixmap
807 from (50,50) to (0,0) (exg).
808 - fix a typo in button_release, now meta-button2 request the value of
809 the Clipboard selection as it should (patch by Serge Koksharov).
810 - fix a bug in drawing a cell with a nonspacing char when using an xft
811 font with inheritPixmap and tintColor (exg).
812

814 - ｹﾘｽﾏｽﾌ゚ﾚｾ゙ﾝﾄ - zomg!!1, it's too early!!!
815 - fix the assumption that chars < 256 are single-width. Now
816 only assume this for codepoints 32 to 126 (reported by Dai.H.).
817 - $term->strwidth returned wide chars as width 1, because some jerk
818 confused min and max. Fixing this also fixes xim-onthespot.
819 Reported by Takano Akio.
820 - secondaryScroll is now enabled by default (as per the manpage),
821 reported by exg.
822 - correct the description of [percent]color rgba format in the manpage.
823 - incorporated macosx-clipboard extension by Samuel Ljungkvist.
824 - ignore (some) useless focus events (reported by mmc).
825 - updated compose table to unicode 5.0.0.
826
8278.0 Thu Nov 2 18:35:19 CET 2006
828 - combining characters cleared the area instead of creating an overlay,
829 thus losing the ability to draw combining characters properly in most
830 circumstances (reported by exg).
831 - specified fonts were incorrectly morphed to bold/italic according to the
832 basefont, even if explicitly specified (tracked down by tpope).
833 - fixed urxvt::strwidth to calculate width in the same way as screen.C.
834 - fix a crash caused by passing negative widths to overlay functions.
835 - added 'matcher' extension by tpope, replacing the mark-urls extension.
836 - improve url regex to match anything www.* (tpope).
837 - fixed bug with outline cursor color being wrong after xft fonts.
838 - update to libptytty-1.0.
839 - give proper diagnostic when RXVT_SOCKET is too long instead of
840 corrupting the stack (patch by exg).
841 - display current terminal locale in option menu.
842 - urxvtd no longer crashes when the client sends an inaccessible
843 working directory (reported by Roland Baer, possibly fixes gentoo
844 bug #143985).
845 - fixed many minor issues reported by Roland Baer.
846 - Leonid Khramov spotted a minor glitch in rxvtfont.C that
847 should not have any consequences, but was buggy nonetheless.
848 - manpage fix by exg.
849
8507.9 Mon Aug 7 18:16:07 CEST 2006
851 - fix the crashing bug people encountered with 7.8 + urxvtd + perl
852 + transparency. Ought to fix debian bug #380348.
853 - fix urxvtc.1.pod: it actually claimed -pty-fd would not work. But
854 it does! :->
855 - rxvt_fatal() in case the locale string is too long for our static buffer.
856 - fixed many, many, typos in the manpages (patch supplied by ves).
857
8587.8 Mon Jul 17 21:00:46 CEST 2006
859 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: this version will always read ~/.Xdefaults,
860 earlier versions only read it if display-resources (usually from
861 .Xresources) are not set. This avoids the #1 FAQ ("why isn't my
862 resource used") and seems to be logical behaviour, too. .Xdefaults
863 resources have a lower priority than display-specific resources.
864 - add "kuake" perl extension that does a similar thing to the kuake
865 terminal emulator (see man urxvtperl).
866 - use less "correct" color scaling that is compatible with libX11 and
867 Xft (avoids off-by-one colors resulting in striped backgrounds).
868 - the "depth" resource is now respected.
869 - preset the searchable-scrollback pattern with "(?i)" to default search
870 to case-insensitivity. Will automatically be cleared when typing an
871 uppercase character.
872 - add FORCE_UNBUFFERED_XFT define to features.h.
873 - re-enabled highlightcolor support with --enable-frills, based on
874 a patch by Martin Stubenschrott.
875 - double-buffered xft drawing did suffer from pixel offset issues
876 when pixmap transparency was enabled.
877 - strategically add # to the url-match regexes, as we really want to
878 match common URIs not common URLs. Reported by Aaron Griffin.
879 - moved on_osc_seq to on_osc_seq_perl and added a more
880 generic osc_seq.
881 - fix a bug causing double callback invocations when perl hooks
882 were invoked recursively.
883 - the automove-background extension now properly works when the
884 pixmap gets reset with an osc sequence (sqweek).
885 - selection-pastebin did not work properly with non-latin1-characters.
886 - apply colorUL only when the text colour is the default fg
887 (patch by Wu Fengguang).
888 - removed rxvtlib.h from the tarball, it had no reason to be there
889 (spotted by Decklin Foster).
890 - fix compiling with TRANSPARENT but !XPM_BACKGROUND, as reported
891 by omatunto_.
892 - slap in a using namespace std, might help on platforms that don't
893 follow C++ closely enough.
894 - fix mailto url regex, spotted within milliseconds by Jost Krieger.
895 - applied fade_color_update_func.patch by WU Fengguang.
896 - fix a bug where (due to an optimisation in av_delete), hiding the
897 bottom-most overlay would hide two overlays.

8997.7 Tue Feb 21 12:32:49 CET 2006
900 - use double-buffered drawing (xft fonts only). On many driver/hardware
901 combination this actually increases xft drawing speed, at the expense
902 of more network bandwidth and slight nausea on the side of the author.
903 - readline perl extension now requires shift-click instead of a normal
904 click, and eats the click.
905 - tabbed perl extension now supports -e.
906 - disabled graphics-exposures on the main drawing GC, report any
907 refresh bugs please.
908 - improve property handling for -pe tabbed: avoid unnecessary property
909 changes (for kde's benefit) at the expense of extra round-trips,
910 improve size hint setting.
911 - modified XIM according to a patch sent by Takano Akio that sets
912 the preedit rectangle for OverTheSpot, which helps some input methods
913 to correctly position their preedit window.
914 - un-optimise the line clearing on newly scrolled-in lines a bit: the
915 former reasoning was that any fg colour on default bg looks the same
916 in empty spaces, but that's not true when reversing (e.g. selection),
917 so also check for matching fg colours. This fixes the problem where
918 selecting newly scrolled-in lines would exhibit wrong colours.
919 - fix a bug in the perl interface causing focus in events to generate
920 focus out perl events, causing bad focus effects with -pe tabbed.
921 - fix a race resulting in a crash on exiting.
922 - fix a with --disable-xft that caused xfreecolors to be called on
923 colors never allocated, resulting in aborts (reported by Paco-Paco).
924 - resources on non-initial screens weren't refetched correctly
925 (reported by Paco-Paco).
926 - fix a bug in xcopyarea pass and _disable_ it, as it seems not to be
927 working in either rxvt-unicode nor in the original rxvt.
928 - removed undocumented -exec alias for the -e option.
929
9307.6 Fri Feb 10 08:52:36 CET 2006
931 - changed interpretation of [alpha] colour prefix.
932 - +option now really sets the option to default, instead of using the
933 resource value.
934 - options that require an argument now really _require_ an argument.
935 - the tabbed extension now forwards focus and key events to the
936 relevant tab window.
937 - tab colours are now configurable and have sensible defaults
938 (initial patch by hednod).
939 - option menu is extendable, readline, selection and
940 selection-autotransform can now be disabled/enabled at runtime.
941 - forcing a configure event to tabbed subwindows with -pe tabbed, for
942 the benefit of automove-background.
943 - the automove-background extension added a wrong constant offset.
944 - force refresh of XA_RESOURCE_STRING on virtual reconnect.
945 - return exit status 2 in urxvtc when urxvtd couldn't be contacted.
946 - the linux yield hack is back, now using usleep, and enabled only on
947 __linux__.
948 - further round trip eliminations in the !XFT case by remembering
949 the colour components.
950 - plain scrollbar works better with -sr.
951 - fixed half-shadow scrollbar look.
952 - more colour rtt optimisations.
953 - properly(?) free colours on window close.
954 - reorganised the FAQ into multiple sections.
955 - add ISO646.1991-IRV to the list of supported codesets.
956 - minor libptytty update.
