166.2 32TODO IMPL: colour-change event with index
17 - SECURITY FIX: on systems using openpty (not GNU/Linux, probably 33TODO IMPL: recalc bg always on bg colour change
18 most BSDs), privileges weren't dropped before opening the pty, 34
19 resulting in wrong permissions on the pseudo terminal. 35TODO: document typical actions in rxvt.1.pod keysyms
20 Reported and fixed by Ryan Beasley. 36TODO: warn with a graphical message when env has been modified
37TODO: c&c perl socket via daemon-ext mechanism
38TODO: simplify extension metainfo cache, cache on disk
39TODO: URxvt::Ext::Name installs urxvt ext name and provides pod/manpage for URxvt::Ext::Name
40TODO: üpixel droppins idenrasm,ll,scrollup
41TODO: cuu/cud and probably others default to 1 when arg is 0, not just missing, in xterm/vt102, but not in rxvt
42TODO: clean up the resource vs. long option mess, especially in the manpage.
43
44TODO: osc 20 does not autoload background ext
45TODO: think about daemon delaying urxvt client exit.
46IDEA: use harfbuzz to render combining sequences, maybe also complex scripts
47TODO: https://github.com/bbidulock/icewm/issues/492 urxvt wrongfully(?) needa configurenotify after mapwindow? also, black border?
48TODO: match default regex does not match https://猫.移动/tmp/, but it does match if you special_decode the lines first. special_encode of the regex does not and would probably be the better solution -> investigate.
49
50TODO: rclock date overwrite
51 - enable confirm-paste extension by default, can be disabled by e.g.
52 URxvt.perl-ext: -confirm-paste
53 - Key bindings specified with the -keysym option or with resources of
54 the form URxvt*keysym work again. Such resources, as opposed to
55 resources of the form URxvt.keysym, were not officially allowed but
56 accepted, so ignoring them is considered a regression.
57 - new option/resource -rm/rewrapMode, which sets the line rewrap
58 mode to auto, never or always.
59 - new option/resource -dpb/disablePasteBrackets, which can be used to
60 disable bracketed paste mode sequences, as more and more programs
61 abuse these sequences (typically in the name of security, but these
62 sequences are not improving security). Also, bracketed paste mode
63 is now under frills.
64 - if urxvt cannot detect a good estimate for font width (because a font does
65 not contain latin characters at all for example), it will now fall
66 back to xft's max_advance_width, which works well with some fonts. It
67 currently will warn about this.
68 - do not render variation selectors in the default font as boxes, treat
69 them as zero-width characters.
70 - change combining character architecture to allow fonts to handle
71 combining sequences on their own. This could allow future renderers
72 to be more intelligent about these sequences.
73 - use the previous enhancement to allow unicode characters outside of the
74 BMP to be rendered even without --enable-unicode3, as long as an
75 xft with the character is configured.
76 It's recommended to stay with disabled unicode3 even more now.
77 - freetype/xft have been verified to return nonsensical offsets for
78 combining characters. urxvt tries to compensate to some extent,
79 but diacritics will be slightly off in many cases, and far off in
80 some cases (e.g. input mono).
81 - when checking for overlap/careful handling, take non-basefont
82 character shifts into account.
83 - extensions can now request autoloading on OSC and Perl OSC sequences,
84 implement this for the background, clipboard-osc and overlay-osc
85 extensions.
86 - the background extension will now be autoloaded when the OSC 20 or 705
87 sequence is received.
88 - The view_start perl method now scrolls to the bottom also when the
89 argument is greater than 0.
90 - eval scroll actions now scroll to the bottom when scrolling down and
91 there are less lines to scroll than the ones requested (reported by
92 Stephen Talley).
93 - allow perl-ext and perl-ext-common to override autoloaded extensions.
94 this allows tabbed to disable itself in subtabs, avoiding recursive
95 loading.
96 - update precompose table to unicode 13.0.
97 - update charset conversion tables to perl 5.32 (this only affected
98 cs_koi8_u_from_unicode).
99 - unicode characters > 0x100000 were not handled correctly w.r.t.
100 font rendering.
101 - replace bitstream vera by dejavu sans, as it has replaced the former
102 almost everywhere.
103 - shave off over 1K of code size from urclock by replacing the sine table
104 with a slightly less accurate fixed point approximation.
105 - do not specify indentation with =over in pod, this is no longer
106 needed with semi-modern pod tools and gives the formatter more
107 stylistic freedom.
108 - background extension did not set the "size-sensitive" flag
109 when repeat mode wasn't normal.
110 - extensions are now subjected to "use strict 'subs'".
111 - avoid crashing when xft successfully opens a font but then somehow
112 can't lock the face.
113
1149.26 Fri May 14 19:14:14 CEST 2021
115 - ev_iouring.c was wrongly required during compilation, and wrongly
116 not packaged.
117
1189.25 Fri May 14 15:51:36 CEST 2021
119 - for the 17.5th anniversary, and because many distributions seem to
120 remove rxvt in favour of urxvt, this release resurrects rclock as
121 urclock.
122 - add support for systemd socket-based activation - debian bug #917105,
123 freebsd bug #234276.
124 - do not destruct perl on exit anymore: this might fail for a variety of
125 reasons, and takes unnecessary time.
126 - remove any macros from urxvtperl manpage(s), should fix debian
127 bug 858385.
128 - the old bg image resources are now provided by the background
129 extension, and perl is thus required for bg image support. No
130 configuration change is needed: urxvt autoloads the background
131 ext if any bg image resource/option is present (for OSC sequences to
132 work you need to enable it explicitly). The old bg image
133 resources are also now deprecated; users are encouraged to
134 switch to the new bg image interface (see man urxvt-background).
135 - confirm-paste now checks for any ctlchars, not just newlines.
136 - searchable scrollback will now ignore bracketed paste mode sequences
137 (prompted by Daniel Gröber's patch).
138 - drop ISO 2022 locale support. ISO 2022 encodings are not supported in
139 POSIX locales and clash with vt100 charset emulation (the luit
140 program can be used as a substitute).
141 - perl didn't parse rgba colours specified as an array correctly,
142 only allowing 0 and 100% intensity for each component (this affected
143 fill and tint).
144 - when iterating over resources, urxvt will now try to properly handle
145 multipart resources (such as "*background.expr"), for the benefit
146 of autoloading perl extensions.
147 - ESC G (query rxvt graphics mode) has been disabled due to security
148 implications. The rxvt graphics mode was removed in rxvt-unicode 1.5,
149 and no programs relying on being able to query the mode are known.
150 - work around API change breakage in perl 5.28, based on a patch by
151 Roman Bogorodskiy.
152 - improved security: rob nation's (obsolete) graphics mode queries
153 no longer reply with linefeed in secure/default mode.
154 - ISO 8613-3 direct colour SGR sequences (patch by Fengguang Wu).
155 - xterm focus reporting mode (patch by Daniel Hahler).
156 - xterm SGR mouse mode.
157 - implement DECRQM. Patch by Přemysl Eric Janouch.
158 - add missing color index parameter to OSC 4 response. Patch
159 by Přemysl Eric Janouch.
160 - in some window managers, if smart resize was enabled, urxvt
161 erroneously moved the window on font change - awesome bug
162 #532, arch linux bug ##34807 (patch by Uli Schlachter).
163 - fix urxvtd crash when using a background expression.
164 - properly restore colors when using fading and reverse video
165 is enabled while urxvt is focused and then disabled while it
166 is not focused, or vice versa (patch by Daniel Hahler).
167 - fix high memory usage when an extension repeatedly hides and
168 shows an overlay (reported by Marcel Lautenbach).
169 - expose priv_modes member and constants to perl extensions
170 (patch by Rastislav Barlik).
171 - fix a whole slew of const sillyness, unfortunately forced upon
172 us by ISO C++.
173 - update to libecb 0x00010006.
174 - disable all thread support in ecb.h as we presumably don't need it.
175 - slightly improve Makefile source dependencies.
176 - work around bugs in newer Pod::Xhtml versions (flags incorrect formatting codes
177 in xhtml/html sections but does not interpret correct ones).
178
1799.22 Sat Jan 23 21:07:33 CET 2016
180 - NOTICE: this release updates terminfo.
181 - add terminfo capabilities for various ctrl and shift-ctrl key variants
182 (patch by Sebastian Schmidt).
183 - fix longstanding core font encoding bug where some character
184 ranges could not be mapped from unicode to the font: affected
185 encodings are big5, gb2312, iso8859-8 (hebrew), jis0201 and
186 ksc5601 (reported by Mikachu).
187 - fix crash when the number of columns is 1 and a 0 width character is inserted
188 (reported by Kuang-che Wu).
189 - fix a crash when parsing an invalid color specification (reported by Kuang-che Wu).
190 - fix a buffer overflow in font name parser (reported by Kuang-che Wu).
191 - do not start blinking cursor if the window is unfocused (reported by
192 Devin J. Pohly).
193 - change the width of underline and i-beam cursor to 2 pixels (based on
194 a patch by Omar Sandoval).
195 - add pointerShape resource to change the mouse pointer shape
196 (based on a patch by Brian Watson).
197 - a keysym resource for a key which is already bound to an
198 action now properly rebinds the key.
199 - do not report mouse motion events if Shift is active (patch by Daniel Hahler).
200 - put the alpha component last in responses to OSC color queries
201 (patch by Benjamin Herr).
202 - the key_press hook is now invoked before processing the
203 event, as documented. This change was done in 9.21 but not
204 announced and fixes debian bugs #511377, #531751 and red hat
205 bug #1105069. Note that this change breaks a few scripts,
206 such as mark-yank-urls, which rely on the previous buggy
207 behaviour that urxvt processes the event (in particular
208 keysym bindings) before invoking the hook.
209 - the tabbed extension now properly refreshes the active tab
210 on a key press when the mouse pointer is outside the terminal
211 window.
212 - add 'lookup_keysym' perl method to lookup the action bound
213 to a key combination.
214 - a key combination bound to 'matcher:select' can now be used
215 to cycle through the matches in matcher.
216 - change perl integer accessors (->width et al.) into mutators.
217
2189.21 Wed Dec 31 14:50:03 CET 2014
219 - the "moa redraw 8-bit british vintage colour management" release.
220 - NOTICE: this release updates terminfo.
221 - fix pixel droppings on overdraw when a secondary core font has the
222 same height but different ascent.
223 - implement cvvis in terminfo as blinking cursor, to distinguish it
224 from cnorm (emacs uses cvvis which is commonly a blinking cursor).
225 - when xft support was compiled in, colour queries erroneously returned
226 premultiplied values, this also affected internal queries, for example
227 when calculating faded colour. alpha is now divided out when possible,
228 which is more correct but loses colour resolution.
229 - add DECSCUSR xterm extension to set the cursor to a vertical bar.
230 - add 'extension:string' action, and associated on_action perl
231 hook, for keysym resources that invokes actions provided by
232 perl extensions. The 'perl:string' action and
233 on_user_command hook are deprecated but still supported.
234 - add 'builtin-string' action for keysym resources that restores string
235 mappings for keys that have predefined actions in urxvt.
236 - add -k option to urxvtc for killing the daemon process.
237 - document urxvtd's -e/--eval option that was implemented in 9.16,
238 but not documented.
239 - add -dockapp option to make the wm treat urxvt as a dockapp.
240 - add -mc option and multiClickTime resource to set the maximum time
241 between multi-click select events (patch by Joe Peterson).
242 - new 'eval' extension to evaluate arbitrary perl code with keysym
243 bindings. The extension also provides methods that implement basic
244 actions, such as pasting selections and scrolling.
245 - the macosx-clipboard and macosx-clipboard-native extensions have been removed.
246 - kuake extension now uses the kuake.hotkey resource to specify the hotkey.
247 - new 'matcher:select' mode of matcher to iterate over the matches with the keyboard.
248 - the 'matcher:list' feature of matcher now honours the launcher
249 associated to a matched pattern.
250 - speed-up matcher underlining on very long lines (reported by Edward Z. Yang).
251 - fix up/down commands of searchable-scrollback so that they always move
252 to the previous/next logical line with a match, if any.
253 - searchable-scrollback resource has been deprecated (use keysym instead).
254 - extension parameter passing is deprecated (use resource mechanism instead).
255 - upgrade to GPLv3 (see COPYING).
256 - compile out of the box on Solaris 10, again.
257 - fix height and position of the stippled area in next scrollbar (patch
258 by Thomas Otto).
259 - fix off-by-one bug causing the iso14755 window not to jump out of the
260 way properly.
261 - fix crash that may happen if a lib to which urxvt is linked to calls setenv.
262 - fix memory leak in special_{encode,decode} perl methods.
263 - fix refresh bug that occurs when reverse video is set on a cell
264 containing a space and with the same bg and fg colour, red hat bug
265 #830236.
266 - fix crash that may happen if an x error is received after a terminal
267 window/popup has been destroyed already.
268 - removed superfluous 0 digit from sgr terminfo sequence.
269 - greatly improve colour allocation on colour-starved pseudocolour
270 displays to avoid read-write cells instead of simply failing
271 (this is only relevant for antique 8bpp frame buffers).
272 - do not free fade colours when not doing fading (this is likely
273 only relevant for antique 8bpp frame buffers).
274 - do not specialcase 2 or 4 colour visuals, leading to
275 simpler and actually more correct code.
276 - hopefully no longer leak colours on !truecolour visuals.
277 - use consistent method names (scr_recolour => scr_recolor).
278 - use simpler (but slightly less bogus) formula for nearest
279 colour choice (this is likely only relevant for antique 8bpp
280 frame buffers).
281 - remove fallback behaviour when initialising colours - the
282 behaviour was inconsistent between startup vs. later and
283 was only effective when valid colours couldn't be allocated.
284
2859.20 Sat Apr 26 16:22:27 CEST 2014
286 - (libptytty) fix bug that prevented urxvtd from writing utmp
287 entries when using --fork (reported by Ryan Kavanagh).
288 - security bugfix: window property values could be queried even
289 in secure mode (reported by Conor McCarthy).
290 - fix build when perl is enabled and fading is disabled.
291 - fix regression that broke continuous scrolling when pressing
292 and holding the scrollbar up or down button, gentoo bug #493992.
293 - increase the maximum length of a command sequence to 32k bytes,
294 to allow longer OSC sequences (previous limit was 2k).
295 - new Ctrl-Meta-c and Ctrl-Meta-v bindings to interact with
296 the CLIPBOARD selection.
297 - new extension: selection-to-clipboard.
298 - the extensions macosx-clipboard and macosx-clipboard-native
299 are deprecated and will be removed in the next release.
300 Support for the clipboard on OS X can be more generally
301 enabled by setting the XQuartz preference to sync the OS X
302 pasteboard and the X11 clipboard.
303
3049.19 Sun Oct 27 17:16:07 CET 2013
305 - work around perl 5.18.0 breakage in tabbed extension
306 (reported by Karol Blazewicz) and in pod (Dominic Hargreaves).
307 - fix regression that caused the double-click word selection to
308 erroneously include a tab on the left of the selected word.
309 - implement FOCUS variable and focus_fade function in background
310 expression, to allow focus-sensitive background images.
311 - add support for the set cursor style (DECSCUSR) control
312 function.
313 - honour cursorColor also when the cursor style is underline.
314 - export some Color_xxx constants to Perl.
315
3169.18 Sun Mar 24 15:33:35 CET 2013
317 - fix regression that caused artifacts on resize.
318
3199.17 Fri Mar 1 13:46:08 CET 2013
320 - add shade operator in background perl extension.
321 - avoid starting or ending the selection in the middle of wide
322 characters to avoid artifacts (reported by Tiago Resende).
323 - fix artifacts that may occur if the character in the cursor
324 cell has width > 1 (reported by Tiago Resende).
325 - fix regression that causes artifacts on scrolling if
326 saveLines is 0 and the window is resized (reported by Bert
327 Münnich).
328 - fix build when perl is enabled and pixbuf and transparency
329 are disabled.
330
3319.16 Thu Dec 27 11:56:43 CET 2012
332 - the "so much new stuff your eyes will pop out" release.
333 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: renamed urlLauncher resource to url-launcher.
334 - fix processing of DEC private mode save sequences (patch by Patrick
335 Hemmer).
336 - perl extensions now have their own manpages, installed as urxvt-NAME(1),
337 e.g. urxvt-background(1) - see urxvt-extensions(1) for a list.
338 - fix disabling of cursor blink with the option-popup menu (based on a
339 patch by Jan Larres).
340 - the font height is not augmented anymore when lineSpace is non zero.
341 - fix "new pagemap" vs. "delete pagemap" mismatch ([] vs. non-[]),
342 as diagnosed by clang.
343 - fix height mismatch between active and inactive cursor when
344 lineSpace is non zero (patch by Stanislav Seletskiy).
345 - make it compile with LOCAL_X_IS_UNIX again (reported by
346 nickfailure@gmail.com).
347 - completely redone background pixmap support - users can now
348 specify arbitrary expressions (And programs) that calculate
349 new terminal backgrounds. see the urxvt-background manpage
350 for details.
351 - xrender is now required for background pixmap support.
352 - perl extensions can now provide commandline switches and resources
353 which show up in -help etc.
354 - iso14755 51 mode window now displays row and column.
355 - implement a -visual switch and move that and -depth to frills, also
356 warn when we can't get the requested visual.
357 - new env variable: RXVT_PERL_LIB.
358 - allocate all screen memory in one go and let the virtual memory
359 subsystem sort it out. this simplifies code, improves access
360 locality, saves a bit of ram and makes things a bit faster, too.
361 - remove support for libafterimage.
362 - update to CVS version of libev, for a whopping 11kb size decrease.
363 - do not ship yet another copy of ecb.h, use the one in libev or
364 libptytty instead.
365 - selectively mark some methods as cache-hot/cache cold, which
366 might speed up execution but definitely decreases codesize.
367 - Fix regression that prevented the scrollbar trough color
368 from being applied (reported by Derek B. Noonburg).
369 - Fix the scrollbar size for rxvt style (patch by Mark Robinson).
370
3719.15 Sat Jan 21 13:36:56 CET 2012
372 - remove "using namespace std" because clang erroneously
373 thinks thats an error.
374 - finding a matching font (e.g. bold version of the base font)
375 was broken (reported by Eamon Walker).
376 - fix parsing of bg image styles. They really work now.
377 - fix blurring of bg image borders when using xrender.
378 - fix xrender blur on common xrender implementations that do
379 not behave correctly when the same pixmap is used as source
380 and destination in composite operations.
381 - fix regression that caused tabbed to compute the wrong size
382 for tabs.
383 - allow again an empty suffix in a keysym list spec (patch by
384 Sung Pae).
385 - unsupported support for sun studio's CC added.
386 - fix -C option on solaris.
387
3889.14 Wed Dec 21 18:40:33 CET 2011
389 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: the urxvtd default socket path is now
390 $HOME/.urxvt/urxvtd-<nodename>.
391 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: the "list" keysym expansion now requires
392 loading of the "keysym-list" perl extension.
393 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: A scale value of 0 in the bg image
394 geometry no longer enables tiling, so as to make it possible
395 to disable both scaling and tiling.
396 - overhaul of the bg image operations. The old operations have
397 been deprecated in favour of elementary operations and
398 styles built on top of the new operations and scale/position
399 settings. (Emanuele Giaquinta).
400 - support for libafterimage is deprecated and will be removed
401 in the next release.
402 - fix a crash caused by selection_check not properly resetting
403 out-of-bounds mark values (can happen when extending a selection
404 while scrolling up in curses programs for example).
405 - do not move the selection when scrolling up and the selection is
406 outside the scrolling region (Emanuele Giaquinta).
407 - fix display of bold bright black (reported by Ben Winslow).
408 - fix memory leak when urgentOnBell is set (patch by Nathaniel
409 Filardo).
410 - fix a redraw bug that occurs when a bg pixmap is set and the
411 wm does not honour the size hints set by urxvt. Now urxvt
412 forces the size of the terminal window to be a multiple of
413 the cell size.
414 - sanitise the argument of SD / SU sequences. Fixes a possible
415 crash when the argument is big enough, red hat bug #711137
416 (Emanuele Giaquinta).
417 - correctly split long lines when scrolling.
418 - urxvt now looks for perl extensions also in $HOME/.urxvt/ext.
419 - add bell-command perl extension to execute a command when a
420 bell event occurs (Ryan Kavanagh).
421 - add set_urgency perl binding to set/reset the urgency hint.
422 - consume button release event in matcher (exg).
423 - keyboard accessible list of recent matches in matcher
424 (Bob Farrell).
425 - properly process 'keysym' sequences in tabbed when using
426 'focus follows mouse' and the focus is on the main window
427 but not on the active terminal window (patch by Martin
428 Pohlack).
429 - support for the freedesktop startup-notification protocol (patch by
430 Michael Stapelberg).
431 - the direction of VPR and VPB commands was reversed.
432 - fix alignment of inherited root pixmap when it is a different size
433 than the root window and the terminal window is off the left or top
434 edge (Mikachu).
435 - make $self visible in "eval perl expression" popup action, also
436 handle exceptions better.
437 - fix parsing of '-e' when it occurs as an option argument, such as in
438 'urxvt -title -e' (Emanuele Giaquinta).
439
4409.12 Wed Jun 29 14:34:28 CEST 2011
441 - fix regression in processing of SelectionNotify events.
442 urxvt would fail to request a selection if the owner did not
443 support the UTF8_STRING target.
444 - fix rendering of double width chars in certain circumstances, more
445 likely to happen if urxvt is compiled with 256 colors support as
446 urxvt runs out of fonts much earlier then. Fixes gentoo bug #358151
447 (Emanuele Giaquinta).
448 - restore support for 'list' syntax in keysym resources (requested by Sung Pae).
449 - always premultiply colour values - while this increases differences between
450 core fonts and xft, it is "more correct" in practical situations.
451 - disable PTYTTY_REENTRANT option - not needed for urxvt and saves a bit of code.
452 - remove lucidatypewriter from the list of fallback fonts, it was the only
453 non-xft non-cellfont in the list anyway.
454
4559.11 Mon May 2 10:34:46 CEST 2011
456 - fix compilation on GNU/Hurd, debian bug #624736.
457 - remove 'list' syntax for keysym resources, as it serves no useful purpose.
458 If you need it, poke us and provide a use case.
459 - fix alpha channel support. Premultiply alpha in colours if the visual
460 supports an alpha channel, as xrender expects premultiplied alpha
461 (Emanuele Giaquinta).
462 - fix reply to a selection request sent by an obsolete client
463 such as syncterm (patch by Marcin Cieslak).
464 - fix crash when the window is resized and the overlay is active
465 (Emanuele Giaquinta, reported by Ryan Kavanagh).
466 - match character-wise rather than byte-wise in selection
467 extension again. perl 5.8.9+ is required to avoid extreme
468 slowdowns. Fixes debian bugs #523072, #616463.
469 - fix a possible crash if the INCR transfer process for a
470 selection property timeouts and at least one chunk is
471 received. (Emanuele Giaquinta)
472 - work around a memory corruption bug in xorg's XrmSetDatabase (apparently
473 broken since http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/xorg-commit-diffs/2004-March/000239.html).
474 - fix memory corruption bug when custom command sequences bound to keys
475 were injected into an already-full pty input buffer.
476 - gdk-pixbuf is autodetected by default and preferred over libafterimage.
477 - do not prepend a newline to the selection text when the starting line
478 of the selection is not highlighted (Emanuele Giaquinta).
479 - don't swap perl env with real env, save and restore it, just in case
480 we ever get recursive perl invocations. also saves a bit of codespace
481 with gcc.
482 - fix various memory leaks (Emanuele Giaquinta).
483 - fix typo in kIC terminfo capability, debian bug #446444.
484 - document 'thickness' resource.
485 - fix debian bug #504817, to the extent possible.
486 - try to detect byte order at compile time, saves a couple of
487 hundred bytes, if your compiler is smart enough.
488 - add support for previewing the pasted data in confirm-paste
489 (Emanuele Giaquinta).
490 - added "newlines to spaces" option in selection-popup.
491 - actually enabled solaris event ports backend (was disabled by accident).
492 - revert to 38400 baud max., mission accomplished.
493 - no longer create scary "pty_fill: PLEASE REPORT" message, instead,
494 silently drain the input (problem is well understood now).
495 - no longer swallow rob nation's own graphics mode commands.
496
4979.10 Mon Dec 13 17:43:52 CET 2010
498 - the "schmorp=north korea dickey=south korea" release.
499 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: make OSC 20 simpler and more correct
500 (Emanuele Giaquinta).
501 - if options were compiled out, this could lead to the option
502 count to be defined wrongly. This is likely behind the
503 failures with gcc 4.5.
504 - explicitly depend on fontconfig and xrender when xft support
505 is enabled. Although the public Xft api uses types from
506 both, in Xft 2.2.0 these libs are private
507 dependencies only thanks to an idiotic behaviour of
508 pkg-config that was added to workaround cases like this one.
509 Fixes linking when using GNU ld with --as-needed or GNU gold
510 (based on patch by Jan Palus).
511 - fix minor memory leaks in urxvt and urxvtd.
512 - fix regression in urxvtd that prevented options from being correctly
513 set (reported by Michal Vaner).
514 - implement xterm's horribly broken 1005 mouse reporting mode,
515 and an alternative 1015 mode that works in non-utf-8 locales
516 and has fewer limitations.
517 - fix a possible bug where mouse notifications didn't work after
518 startup for the upper left corner.
519 - implement our own pixbuf to pixmap rendering to get rid of
520 dependency on buggy gdk-pixbuf-xlib. Only truecolor visuals
521 are supported (Emanuele Giaquinta).
522 - apply tinting before shading when both operations are requested.
523 Previously they were intermixed when lightening and the result
524 was inaccurate and confusing. Note that now a black tint yields a
525 completely black image, regardless of shading (Emanuele Giaquinta).
526 - avoid spurious redraws of the bg image when bg is transparent or
527 when using 'root' mode (Emanuele Giaquinta).
528 - fix build on XFree86.
529 - dynamically number options according to compiletime requirements.
530 For the extra saved byte. Or so. Yay.
531 - start options at one, not zero. Wastes a bit per terminal. Maybe.
532 saves 50 instruction bytes. Possibly.
533
5349.09 Sat Nov 13 01:39:07 CET 2010
535 - NOTICE: this release updates terminfo/termcap.
536 - the bestest release ever.

539 - add support for using gdk-pixbuf as image backend (Emanuele Giaquinta).
540 - cleanup and minor fixes of the image code (Emanuele Giaquinta).
541 - new perl extension "confirm-paste" (Emanuele Giaquinta).
542 - new on_tt_paste perl hook and tt_paste perl binding (Emanuele Giaquinta).
543 - new on_bell perl hook (Emanuele Giaquinta).
544 - searchable-scrollback no longer ignores the first line
545 (Emanuele Giaquinta).
546 - properly set VSTATUS in termios for *BSD (reported by Ed Schouten).
547 - fix utmpx detection on upcoming FreeBSD 9.
548 - Use COMPOUND_TEXT encoding for WM_NAME/WM_ICON_NAME value when it
549 is not fully convertible to STRING (patch by James Cloos).
550 - fix a buffer overflow that would cause wrong key sequences to
551 be generated for numpad keys (introduced in 9.05).
552 - fix definition of sgr0 to work around limitations in luit.
553 - extend ISO 14755 5.4 mode to also print the font name of the
554 characters other than first one in the selected cell
555 (Emanuele Giaquinta).
556 - new iso14755 option to disable ISO 14755 at runtime
557 (Emanuele Giaquinta).
558 - make sure pagewise scrolling scrolls at least one line
559 (found by Mikachu).
560 - remove deprecated OSC 18 / 19 and make OSC 17 / 19 apply to
561 highlightColor / highlightTextColor (Emanuele Giaquinta).
562 - add highlightTextColor resource to change the foreground colour of
563 highlighted characters (Emanuele Giaquinta).
564 - make highlightColor apply also to selected cells with reverse video
565 but not to non selected cells with reverse video (Emanuele Giaquinta).
566 - remove colorRV resource (it was enabled only with frills off).
567 - fix numlock handling, the most longstanding bug to date (Emanuele Giaquinta).
568 - reduce the number of custom bits to 4, to make room
569 for 256 colours.
570 - add support for 256 colors (Emanuele Giaquinta, Marc Lehmann).
571 - add rxvt-unicode-256color terminfo and use it by default in 256 colors mode.
572 - update rxvt-unicode terminfo to state 7744 colour pairs to cover all
573 88*88 possible pairs.
574 - actually added macosx-clipboard-native, which should have been in
575 the 9.07 release but had been forgotten.
576 - fix hang if DECAWM is not set and there are not enough columns to insert a
577 character (Emanuele Giaquinta).
578 - cub1 ("backspace") will now respect wrapping when past the rightmost column,
579 working around a shortcoming of most tty line discipline's line editing.
580 - add support for grabbing the clipboard selection and extend
581 selection{_clear,_grab,} perl bindings to optionally work
582 on the clipboard selection (based on patch by Dana Jansens).
583 - no longer force CERASE to BACKSPACE - use the system default. affects
584 default value for VERASE only when no compatible setting for
585 backspacekey was given.
586 - use higher than 38400 baudrate setting, if detected.
587 - erase screen would clear to the wrong background when blinking
588 was enabled (which selects high intensity under some circumstances).
589 - scr_kill_char didn't touch the line.
590 - upgrade and port to libev-4.01.
591 - enabled solaris event ports and kqueue backends (if available).
592
5939.07 Wed Dec 30 07:07:18 CET 2009
594 - port to glibc-2.10 changes (strchr etc. returning const char *
595 in C++), based on patches by Milos Jakubicek and Oliver Mader.
596 - the binary search algorithm to find precomposed characters
597 was faulty, skipping some possible combinations (found by
598 Mikachu).
599 - new -letterspace option, patch by Mark H. Wilkinson.
600 - enable --mlock option for urxvt with frills on
601 systems supporting it (patch by Russell Harmon).
602 - urxvt did not compile without frills enabled
603 (analysed by Matthew Rosewarne).
604 - correctly reset the mbstate after an illegal
605 input sequence when handling terminal output (Emanuele Giaquinta).
606 - avoid redrawing wide characters with combining enabled on every
607 refresh (reported by Mikachu).
608 - fix a typo preventing the ISO-646.1991 character set from being
609 recognized (http://achurch.org/patch-pile/).
610 - better warning for x11 font encoding detection failures, also,
611 try to deduce encoding from both font properties and name
612 (adapted from http://achurch.org/patch-pile/).
613 - resizing the window with the scrollbar disabled via the escapes
614 sequence could make the window bigger again (Mikachu).
615 - make sure the alignment for fd passing control messages
616 is correct and work around some NetBSD issues (Taylor R Campbell).
617 - update to libptytty 1.3.
618 - replace macosx-clipboard by a nicer version by Reza Jelveh, and move
619 the old version to macosx-clipboard-native.
620 - document the -uc option (Emanuele Giaquinta).
621 - assertions in libev are now enabled depending on frills.
622 - update AnyEvent implementation to version 5.23 API.
623 - work around arrogant bsd idiocies again: netbsd spills the default
624 namespace with lots of symbols "for gnu/gcc compatibility" even
625 though neither of them does it, and then calls the rest of the world
626 in need of fixing. go figure.
627 - on_keyboard_command is on_user_command (patch by Michael Witten).
628 - setting the selection from perl will now reset the selection screen
629 to the current screen. the screen can be manipulated using
630 the new ->selection_screen method.
631 - implement --enable-assert configure option and get rid of DEBUG_STRICT
632 (based on patch by Emanuele Giaquinta).
633 - fix printpipe data output (patch by Emanuele Giaquinta).
634 - allow `xxx' quoting style for perl selection.
635 - upgrade to libev-3.9 prerelease.
636 - updated compose tables to unicode 5.2.0.
637

639 - NOTICE: this release updates terminfo/termcap.
640 - updates libev to 3.48.
641 - the aterm code now frees the as visual and image manager objects
642 when a window was closed.
643 - do not (wrongly) adjust the virtual line length inside
644 scr_insdel_chars/ERASE (Miroslav Lichvar).
645 - fix an issue where wide tab characters caused character shifts
646 when part of them was deleted (tracked down by Miroslav Lichvar).
647 - artificially enlargen the previous character at the end of a line
648 when trying to output a character that doesn't fit. looks ugly, but
649 makes copy&paste work.
650 - remove bogus "setuid/setgid security issues" from rxvt.1.pod, they
651 no longer apply.
652 - the urgency hint is now cleared on both focus in and focus out.
653 - cache urgency hint locally to avoid server rtt on every focus change.
654 - perl 5.10 needs PERL_SYS_INIT3 on hppa.
655 - ignore byte-order marks and do not treat them like combining characters.
656 - fix build issue when CURSOR_BLINK is not defined (Emanuele Giaquinta).
657 - do some µ-optimisations to the character fast path.
658 - use a less cunning, but more robust algorithm to avoid one terminal
659 monopolising the whole process by outputting a lot of text.
660 - try to work around linux first breaking sched_yield and now breaking
661 the only known workaround.
662 - new option -icon to set _NET_WM_ICON (based on patch by Frank Schmitt).
663 - initialise the as visual only on demand, instead of unconditionally,
664 to save memory in the common case of not using visual gimmicks.
665 - try to work around bugs in a few wm's that erroneously resize
666 client windows on hint property updates by temporarily
667 disabling size hints.
668 - implement the DECSTR soft reset sequence and use it for tput init,
669 and make hard RIS and DECSTR both reset more private modes, such
670 as mouse reporting.
671 - redundantly clear mouse reporting and a few other states in
672 tput init/tput reset, for older urxvts.
673 - partial/full clear screens did cause flickering and possibly pixel
674 droppings when urxvt viewed the scrollback buffer.
675 - use current rendition style in DCH sequence.
676 - the 132/80 mode switch no longer forces a screen reset.
677 - add an osc sequence to change the border colour (Emanuele Giaquinta).
678 - new perl extension "overlay-osc", for status displays and the like.
679 - fix some minor cursor drawing issues with overlays by allowing
680 overlays to modify screen flags (to disable the cursor themselves).
681 - work around programs not restoring rstyle before rmcup
682 (analysed by Miroslav Lichvar).
683
6849.05 Sun Jun 15 20:09:20 CEST 2008
685 - new option --cd/chdir to set the starting working directory.
686 - tabbed extension now starts in the "correct" working directory.
687 - work around fedora 9 providing isastream but not the relevant
688 header file for it (report by Tuncer Ayaz).
689 - upgrade libev, fixing a bug in the select backend.
690 with more than 31 file descriptors on non-linux 64 bit systems.
691 - correctly reset the multibyte state to the initial one
692 after EILSEQ (patch by Neil Booth). This fixes the
693 issue of rxvt-unicode not properly displaying text after an illegal
694 sequence on NetBSD and probably other systems.
695 - more intelligent property handling with -pe tabbed, works around
696 broken window managers (kwm et al.), saves bandwidth and should
697 help working window managers as well.
698 - made tabs moveable (based on a patch by Petr Machata).
699 - implement ESC [ 3 K as a more rational alternative to ESC [ 0 K.
700 - support relative paths for RXVT_SOCKET in urxvtd.
701 - the tabbed extension now blindly copies over all (rxvt-) resources
702 from the toplevel window to the children.
703 - better diagnostic on 0x0 window geometries.
704 - update AnyEvent API to version 3.4 and above.
705 - document the default value of :0 for DISPLAY.

709 - the "exg makes everybody happy" release.
710 - fix build with !xft.
711 - always compile in plain style scrollbar (simplifies code and looks great).
712
7139.01 Sat Jan 26 20:49:27 CET 2008
714 - be more aggressive about handling X events, this seems to be required
715 with newer xlibs (should fix the "screen stays black until event is
716 received" problem, again :)
717 - add buffered resource to control xft double-buffering.
718
7199.0 Fri Jan 25 19:34:04 CET 2008
720 - fix a crash bug where urxvtd would crash when urxvtc was called
721 with wrong arguments (I wish debian maintainers in general would
722 report bugs and their proposed fixes to the original package maintainers
723 instead of sitting on them for good measure to see if anybody notices).
724 - drawing xft compose characters was causing garbage to be drawn.
725 - correctly clear xft character background in all cases.
726 - implement bracketed paste mode (xterm private mode 2004).
727 - improve documentation on alpha channel handling, make urxvt
728 work better on servers lacking the RENDER extension when alpha
729 channels or background images are used.
730 - check for refresh after initialising to avoid staying blank
731 till the first event arrives. or so.
732 - the FORCE_UNBUFFERED_XFT feature macro works again.
733 - continuously update transparency while moving/resizing now.
734 - OSC 39/49 are deprecated and aliased to OSC 10/11.
735 - cub1 now acts as advertised (and ignores the "wrapped" state).
736 - the 132/80 mode switch now forces a height of 24, too, and
737 resets the terminal.
738 - scrollbar code cleanups.
739 - stopping children is no longer confused with children exiting.
740 - removed (undocumented) #aarrggbb format.
741 - updated to libev 3.0.
742
7438.9 Mon Dec 24 07:51:40 CET 2007
744 - fix the issue where urxvtd would not immediately close a window
745 when the command exited but only on the next X event.
746 - changed terminfo file not to use application keypad mode.
747 - fix the issue where making a selection in one urxvtd window
748 would not clear it visually in another.
749 - fix an issue of urxvt not getting background pixmap updates
750 and flickering after bg pixmap changes (reported by Mikachu).
751 - fix redraw bug in xterm scrollbar with -sr (reported by Mikachu).
752 - correctly provide dependencies for libev (µikachu).
753 - minor code reorganisations and cleanups.
754 - be more robust in case the urxvt-popup extension cannot be loaded.
755
7568.8 Sat Dec 15 19:40:39 CET 2007
757 - option -C was aliased to all unsupported options, activating
758 options that shouldn't be compiled in, leading to interesting
759 effects.
760 - updated libev, working around a bug in linux 2.4, curing the
761 symptom of urxvt not closing its window on shell exit. also
762 fixes a problem with urxvt not refreshing.
763 - the text blink callback was called even when no blinking
764 text was visible.
765 - pre-8.4 slipwheeling behaviour has been reinstated, with
766 some minor improvements.
767 - streamlined x events processing to only flush once per
768 display and not once per terminal window.
769 - quite a bit of minor code cleanups and codesize optimisations.
770
7718.7 Sun Nov 25 10:23:49 CET 2007
772 - update libev with an important bugfix that would cause crashes
773 when closing windows (when using rxvtd, and update is recommended).
774 - do not compile in the block builtin graphics with --disable-frills.
775
7768.6 Fri Nov 23 14:10:57 CET 2007
777 - upgrade libev to disable kqueue on anything but netbsd as it
778 seems to be broken everywhere else w.r.t. ptys.
779 - allow for spurious event notifications, as at least epoll and
780 especially solaris ports like to lie about them (symptoms:
781 urxvt "hangs" until there is some x11 related activity).
782 - -keysym command line options are now subjected to xlib parsing.
783 - add 'xrm' option analogous to Xt one.
784
7858.5a Wed Nov 21 10:16:33 CET 2007
786 - make it compile with --disable-transparency.
787
7888.5 Wed Nov 21 05:19:20 CET 2007
789 - expect major portability issues in this release: please test and report.
790 - converted from the veritable io manager event loop to
791 the high performance libev (http://software.schmorp.de/pkg/libev).
792 - minor tuning to the perl selection (include single words and more quoting chars).
793 - fix memory leak in pixmap code.
794 - fix a serious bug while setting the XIM destroy callback
795 on (typical) 64 bit systems.
796 - automove-background functionality re-implemented internally using :root op in pixmap
797 geometry string. For example: rxvt -pixmap "image.jpg;:root"
798 - do not link rxvtc against every lib on the planet anymore.
799 - parallel builds should work once more.
800
8018.4 Sat Oct 27 14:02:13 CEST 2007
802 - overhaul of the transparency/pixmap code (sasha).
803 - fix possible race between visual bell and poweron.
804 (reported by Martin von Gagern, gentoo?).
805 - urxvt -e no longer crashes the child.
806 - fixed some minor memleaks on incorrect usage or
807 missing DISPLAY.
808 - implement xterm 1002/1003 mouse tracking modes (exg).
809 - source code organisational cleanups (exg).
810 - updated io_manager.
811
8128.3 Wed Aug 1 20:21:31 CEST 2007
813 - new option: skipScroll/-ss, enabled by default.
814 - go with the times and expect x11 library files in /usr/lib, not
815 /usr/X11R6/lib.
816 - initial transparency improvement/afterimage support
817 patch by Sasha Vasko.
818 - add urgentOnBell resource to set the urgency hint
819 (patch by Philip Paeps).
820 - do not process focus events caused by grabs
821 (patch by Mikachu).
822 - add iso14755_52 resource to disable iso14755 5.2 (exg).
823 - add binding for backspace in iso14755 5.1 to remove the last
824 digit (exg).
825 - better option handling, support more than 30 options (exg).
826 - nuke reconf script, serves no purpose anymore.
827 - fixed and documented matcher/on_user_command processing in matcher
828 extension (tpope).
829 - compile out of the box on Solaris 10 (exg).
830 - fix MappingNotify events (reported by Stephan Walter).
831 - zero-initialise mwmhints, this seems to solve all sorts of minor
832 problems.
833
8348.2 Sat Feb 17 21:35:28 CET 2007
835 - fix make depend in src/, reported by exg.
836 - fixed typo in urxvt::GET_CUSTOM, causing the result to be wrong.
837 (patch by Sergey Vlasov).
838 - unbundled iom perl interface somewhat.
839 - scrollbar-xterm now uses the selected scrollColor instead of fg
840 (found by Aiviru).
841 - disabled linux kernel bug workaround again: disabling it gives
842 a 50% speed hit on affected machines, while enabling it gives
843 a similar speed hit to screen, which is likely the more common
844 case to work around for :/
845 - urxvt::rend2mask perl function, and utilization of it by matcher
846 (patch by Moshe Kamensky).
847 - use perl:matcher on a keysym to open most recently displayed URL.
848 - with matcher, when multiple patterns match, last wins, not first.
849 - fix make and make install with srcdir != builddir (exg).
850 - updated bundled libptytty to fix a bug where the tty would be kept
851 open (see the libptytty ChangeLog for details).
852 - delay setting the IUTF8 flag to after the tty settings have been
853 set so its value does not get lost (reported and analysed by Andrei
854 Paskevich).
855 - rip out support for obsolete sgtty.h interface.
856 - rip out support for non-POSIX termios variants.
857 - update libptytty.
858 - update iom.C, make it call ptytty::sanitise_stdfd on init.
859 - when !XFT, change rounding of colours to use a less correct formula to
860 meet user expectancies (#aaa becomes #a000a000a000 not #9f9f9f9f9f9f).
861 - change the starting offset of the pixmap set with backgroundPixmap
862 from (50,50) to (0,0) (exg).
863 - fix a typo in button_release, now meta-button2 request the value of
864 the Clipboard selection as it should (patch by Serge Koksharov).
865 - fix a bug in drawing a cell with a nonspacing char when using an xft
866 font with inheritPixmap and tintColor (exg).
867
8688.1 Thu Dec 7 22:27:25 CET 2006
869 - ケリスマスプレゼント - zomg!!1, it's too early!!!
870 - fix the assumption that chars < 256 are single-width. Now
871 only assume this for codepoints 32 to 126 (reported by Dai.H.).
872 - $term->strwidth returned wide chars as width 1, because some jerk
873 confused min and max. Fixing this also fixes xim-onthespot.
874 Reported by Takano Akio.
875 - secondaryScroll is now enabled by default (as per the manpage),
876 reported by exg.
877 - correct the description of [percent]color rgba format in the manpage.
878 - incorporated macosx-clipboard extension by Samuel Ljungkvist.
879 - ignore (some) useless focus events (reported by mmc).
880 - updated compose table to unicode 5.0.0.
881
8828.0 Thu Nov 2 18:35:19 CET 2006
883 - combining characters cleared the area instead of creating an overlay,
884 thus losing the ability to draw combining characters properly in most
885 circumstances (reported by exg).
886 - specified fonts were incorrectly morphed to bold/italic according to the
887 basefont, even if explicitly specified (tracked down by tpope).
888 - fixed urxvt::strwidth to calculate width in the same way as screen.C.
889 - fix a crash caused by passing negative widths to overlay functions.
890 - added 'matcher' extension by tpope, replacing the mark-urls extension.
891 - improve url regex to match anything www.* (tpope).
892 - fixed bug with outline cursor color being wrong after xft fonts.
893 - update to libptytty-1.0.
894 - give proper diagnostic when RXVT_SOCKET is too long instead of
895 corrupting the stack (patch by exg).
896 - display current terminal locale in option menu.
897 - urxvtd no longer crashes when the client sends an inaccessible
898 working directory (reported by Roland Baer, possibly fixes gentoo
899 bug #143985).
900 - fixed many minor issues reported by Roland Baer.
901 - Leonid Khramov spotted a minor glitch in rxvtfont.C that
902 should not have any consequences, but was buggy nonetheless.
903 - manpage fix by exg.
904
9057.9 Mon Aug 7 18:16:07 CEST 2006
906 - fix the crashing bug people encountered with 7.8 + urxvtd + perl
907 + transparency. Ought to fix debian bug #380348.
908 - fix urxvtc.1.pod: it actually claimed -pty-fd would not work. But
909 it does! :->
910 - rxvt_fatal() in case the locale string is too long for our static buffer.
911 - fixed many, many, typos in the manpages (patch supplied by ves).
912
9137.8 Mon Jul 17 21:00:46 CEST 2006
914 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: this version will always read ~/.Xdefaults,
915 earlier versions only read it if display-resources (usually from
916 .Xresources) are not set. This avoids the #1 FAQ ("why isn't my
917 resource used") and seems to be logical behaviour, too. .Xdefaults
918 resources have a lower priority than display-specific resources.
919 - add "kuake" perl extension that does a similar thing to the kuake
920 terminal emulator (see man urxvtperl).
921 - use less "correct" color scaling that is compatible with libX11 and
922 Xft (avoids off-by-one colors resulting in striped backgrounds).
923 - the "depth" resource is now respected.
924 - preset the searchable-scrollback pattern with "(?i)" to default search
925 to case-insensitivity. Will automatically be cleared when typing an
926 uppercase character.
927 - add FORCE_UNBUFFERED_XFT define to features.h.
928 - re-enabled highlightcolor support with --enable-frills, based on
929 a patch by Martin Stubenschrott.
930 - double-buffered xft drawing did suffer from pixel offset issues
931 when pixmap transparency was enabled.
932 - strategically add # to the url-match regexes, as we really want to
933 match common URIs not common URLs. Reported by Aaron Griffin.
934 - moved on_osc_seq to on_osc_seq_perl and added a more
935 generic osc_seq.
936 - fix a bug causing double callback invocations when perl hooks
937 were invoked recursively.
938 - the automove-background extension now properly works when the
939 pixmap gets reset with an osc sequence (sqweek).
940 - selection-pastebin did not work properly with non-latin1-characters.
941 - apply colorUL only when the text colour is the default fg
942 (patch by Wu Fengguang).
943 - removed rxvtlib.h from the tarball, it had no reason to be there
944 (spotted by Decklin Foster).
945 - fix compiling with TRANSPARENT but !XPM_BACKGROUND, as reported
946 by omatunto_.
947 - slap in a using namespace std, might help on platforms that don't
948 follow C++ closely enough.
949 - fix mailto url regex, spotted within milliseconds by Jost Krieger.
950 - applied fade_color_update_func.patch by WU Fengguang.
951 - fix a bug where (due to an optimisation in av_delete), hiding the
952 bottom-most overlay would hide two overlays.
953
9547.7 Tue Feb 21 12:32:49 CET 2006
955 - use double-buffered drawing (xft fonts only). On many driver/hardware
956 combination this actually increases xft drawing speed, at the expense
957 of more network bandwidth and slight nausea on the side of the author.
958 - readline perl extension now requires shift-click instead of a normal
959 click, and eats the click.
960 - tabbed perl extension now supports -e.
961 - disabled graphics-exposures on the main drawing GC, report any
962 refresh bugs please.
963 - improve property handling for -pe tabbed: avoid unnecessary property
964 changes (for kde's benefit) at the expense of extra round-trips,
965 improve size hint setting.
966 - modified XIM according to a patch sent by Takano Akio that sets
967 the preedit rectangle for OverTheSpot, which helps some input methods
968 to correctly position their preedit window.
969 - un-optimise the line clearing on newly scrolled-in lines a bit: the
970 former reasoning was that any fg colour on default bg looks the same
971 in empty spaces, but that's not true when reversing (e.g. selection),
972 so also check for matching fg colours. This fixes the problem where
973 selecting newly scrolled-in lines would exhibit wrong colours.
974 - fix a bug in the perl interface causing focus in events to generate
975 focus out perl events, causing bad focus effects with -pe tabbed.
976 - fix a race resulting in a crash on exiting.
977 - fix a with --disable-xft that caused xfreecolors to be called on
978 colors never allocated, resulting in aborts (reported by Paco-Paco).
979 - resources on non-initial screens weren't refetched correctly
980 (reported by Paco-Paco).
981 - fix a bug in xcopyarea pass and _disable_ it, as it seems not to be
982 working in either rxvt-unicode nor in the original rxvt.
983 - removed undocumented -exec alias for the -e option.
984
9857.6 Fri Feb 10 08:52:36 CET 2006
986 - changed interpretation of [alpha] colour prefix.
987 - +option now really sets the option to default, instead of using the
988 resource value.
989 - options that require an argument now really _require_ an argument.
990 - the tabbed extension now forwards focus and key events to the
991 relevant tab window.
992 - tab colours are now configurable and have sensible defaults
993 (initial patch by hednod).
994 - option menu is extendable, readline, selection and
995 selection-autotransform can now be disabled/enabled at runtime.
996 - forcing a configure event to tabbed subwindows with -pe tabbed, for
997 the benefit of automove-background.
998 - the automove-background extension added a wrong constant offset.
999 - force refresh of XA_RESOURCE_STRING on virtual reconnect.
1000 - return exit status 2 in urxvtc when urxvtd couldn't be contacted.
1001 - the linux yield hack is back, now using usleep, and enabled only on
1002 __linux__.
1003 - further round trip eliminations in the !XFT case by remembering
1004 the colour components.
1005 - plain scrollbar works better with -sr.
1006 - fixed half-shadow scrollbar look.
1007 - more colour rtt optimisations.
1008 - properly(?) free colours on window close.
1009 - reorganised the FAQ into multiple sections.
1010 - add ISO646.1991-IRV to the list of supported codesets.
1011 - minor libptytty update.
1012
10137.5 Tue Jan 31 15:15:43 CET 2006
1014 - further improvements to the careful mode detection, and font width
1015 detection:
1016 - fully double-wide fonts will now be correctly treated,
1017 - overlap detection was improved.
1018 - detect totally broken fonts (usually synthesized by xft).
1019 - careful mode forced refresh sometimes clashed with blinking,
1020 causing unnecessary screen redraws.
1021 - better handling of XFT combining characters.
1022 - enable antialiasing for some replacement fonts, as they
1023 might get used for other encodings which really need it, later.
1024 - remove spacing=100 from all default fonts, as this creates totally
1025 weird spacing (5 times normal) with xft.
1026 - removed iso10646 fallback, as xorgs iso10646 encoded fonts are mostly
1027 broken.
1028 - removed gnu unifont fallback, all combining characters are broken.
1029 - replace named colours by xorg's rgb.txt equivalents, to
1030 reduce round trip time on startup, and short-cut allocation
1031 of rgb:rr/gg/bb for xft.
1032 - short-cut allocation of rgb values in the xlib case
1033 (patch by Paco-Paco).
1034 - overhauled color management: smaller codesize, alpha support.
1035 - support "rgba:rrrr/gggg/bbbb/aaaa" color specifications and
1036 an "[alpha]" prefix.
1037 - try to work around Xft and Xrender forcing everything to be 100%
1038 transparent. Long Live Xft!
1039 - do not include X11/Intrinsic.h anymore, directly use
1040 Xlib/Xutil/Xresource directly.
1041 - try to find a nearest matching color when color allocation fails
1042 on a pseudocolor screen.
1043 - SYNCCVS: compared to rxvt-cvs 2006-01-28, no relevant changes.
1044 - fix version report (DA) (which was unfortunately broken).
1045 - changed version number report again, now to emulate xterm closer.
1046 - added the OSC sequence 702 to detect the urxvt version number.
1047 - small configure updates.
1048 - further RTT optimisations.
1049 - backported clean-up patches for makefiles and documentation from
1050 the debian package.
1051 - updated doc/rxvt-unicode.spec file. It's still not maintained here,
1052 but much newer than the old one.
1053
10547.4 Sat Jan 28 15:26:27 CET 2006
1055 - screen background wasn't always erased properly when scrolling,
1056 - re-enabled clearing optimisation disabled in 7.4pre.
1057 - small configure updates for libptytty.
1058 - fixed version options: line output.
1059 - removed stoopid debugging message left in the code.
1060
10617.3 Wed Jan 25 22:47:35 CET 2006
1062 - don't let iso14755 or mouse reporting get into the way of perl
1063 (could lead to global grabs never being cleared).
1064 - experimental OnTheSpot editing support (-pe xim-onthespot).
1065 - moved Shift-Button2 paste combination to Meta-Button2.
1066 - the cutchars resource will now be respected and used by the
1067 selection extension.
1068 - added the "remote-clipboard" extension which just runs external
1069 commands to fetch and store the selection data.
1070 - added -depth switch that tries to get a different visual depth
1071 than the default (replaces the old PREFER_24_BIT logic).
1072 - removed (unused) arabic presentation form composing sequences.
1073 - be more strict when deciding that a core font glyph is too wide and
1074 needs the careful rendering mode.
1075 - allow more leeway for italic fonts when deciding that a character is
1076 too wide and needs careful mode.
1077 - redraw even more characters around characters using careful mode.
1078 - made selection-pastebin fully asynchronous.
1079 - reduced number of server turnarounds at startup by allocating
1080 atoms only once per display.
1081 - renamed on_keyboard_command to on_user_command.
1082 - changed version sos (ESC [ > c) response to be more compatible with
1083 xterm.
1084
10857.2 Sun Jan 22 21:58:16 CET 2006
1086 - bugfix: urxvt (not urxvtd) did not correctly handle multiple
1087 environments necessary, which resulted in segfaults within
1088 getenv (reproducible: urxvt -fn 9x15, open a menu once,
1089 ctrl-shift-672c).
1090 - bugfix: the selection speedup in in 7.1 unfortunately caused
1091 non-ascii characters to enlarge/move the selection.
1092 - bugfix: resizing sometimes leaked lines from the secondary to
1093 the primary screen.
1094 - bugfix: reducing window size while large amounts of text were output
1095 could lead to an assertion failure.
1096 - added "tabbed" extension that provides a crude tabbed terminal.
1097 - added "readline" extension that allows cursor positioning
1098 via mouse clicks.
1099 - now it is possible to insert the value of the CLIPBOARD selection
1100 with shift - mouse button 2.
1101 - fixed the automove-background extension to ignore coordinates
1102 in non-synthetic events.
1103 - created a separate libpty for portable and secure
1104 pty/tty/utmp/wtmp/lastlog handling, and include it in rxvt-unicode.
1105 - the non-terminfo visual bell now works asynchronously, so
1106 continuous ASCI BELs in one terminal do no longer monopolise the
1107 whole urxvt[d] process.
1108 - support some *BSD makes (for the time being, gnu make is a safe bet).
1109 - work around bugs in FreeBSD's gcc.
1110 - implemented some *BSD fixes in configure.
1111 - removed support for obsolete offix dnd protocol.
1112
11137.1 Thu Jan 19 20:25:34 CET 2006
1114 - setuid/setgid operation is now _encouraged_: security has been
1115 improved by moving privileged operations into a separate process
1116 and permanently dropping privileges within the terminal. This
1117 makes it possible to remove security checks from the perl code
1118 and gives a much safer feeling when urxvt needs to run with
1119 special privileges.
1120 - perl taint checking disabled, as urxvt no longer runs setuid/setgid
1121 itself.
1122 - new perl extension automove-background that can be used to get
1123 the same effect as pseudo-transparency with any pixmap.
1124 - new perl extension example: perl/selection-pastebin, can be used to
1125 e.g. upload the selection to a webserver and generate a url, or
1126 similar stuff.
1127 - use the scrollback buffer even when the scroll region doesn't
1128 span the whole screen, as long as it starts at row 0. Helps
1129 for programs displaying a status line at the bottom.
1130 - selection popup now shows selection in dec/hex/oct.
1131 - perl/selection: matching on unicode characters in the selection
1132 code was O(n²), which equals infinity in some degenerate cases
1133 :-> Matching is now done on UTF-8, which makes it almost instant.
1134 - perl/selection, perl/selection-autotransform: regexes are now
1135 being interpreted in the locale urxvt was started.
1136 - implemented override-redirect option and enabled it on menus,
1137 as kwin puts our windows behind the terminal (what a shoddy wm).
1138 - fixed struct utmp check in configure for OpenBSD.
1139 - complete overhaul of the pty/utmp management stuff and configure
1140 (Emanuele Giaquinta=exg).
1141 - add tsl/fsl and related capabilities to the terminfo description,
1142 to set the window title.
1143 - swap the environment in some more cases. This hopefully fixes
1144 some segfaults that might be caused by xft asking for env variables
1145 at the wrong time.
1146 - removed src/strings.C and src/menubar.C. No menubar support
1147 anymore.
1148 - removed all traces of SMOOTH_REFRESH.
1149 - nuked QNX support.
1150 - made some fixes to xpm offset and scaling code.
1151 - perl-overlays and refresh hooks were not applied in correct order.
1152 - changed coordinate-system of view_start/nsaved to be top to bottom.
1153 - iom extended to support listening for child exits.
1154
11557.0 Fri Jan 13 14:02:18 CET 2006
1156 - added sections for DISTRIBUTION MAINTAINERS and about
1157 SETUID/SETGID to the FAQ.
1158 - selection, searchable-scrollback, selection-popup and
1159 option-popup extensions enabled by default.
1160 - increased xft drawing speed for problematic fonts. The effect
1161 will likely be small as 99% of the xft slowness is server-related.
1162 - perl: much increased functionality, better overlays, popup support
1163 and much much more.
1164 - perl: urxvt::line now can set via ->t and ->r.
1165 - perl: changed interpretation of --perl-ext-common and -pe.
1166 - perl: finally implemented --perl-eval.
1167 - perl: non-blocking anyevent support.
1168 - perl: run tainted and ignore perl-eval/perl-lib if started
1169 setuid/setgid.
1170 - free the resource database: this plugs a massive memory leak. As a
1171 side effect, it also gets rid of XGetDefault calls.
1172 - free one of the cursors, fixes a small memory leak.
1173 - built-in (as opposed to terminfos) visual bell was broken/too fast.
1174 - applied minor cleanups by Ladislav Michnovic.
1175 - applied pty handling cleanups and improvements (Emanuele Giaquinta).
1176 - mark-urls launch-on-click by jepler.
1177 - removed "small" resource parsing function, as it wasn't really
1178 compatible, and not really small either.
1179 - removed PATH_ENV and PATH file search support.
1180 - removed support for locale-specific app-defaults file.
1181 - fixed a bug where out-of-bounds colour sequences could lead
1182 to crashes.
1183 - limit colour changing to the standard 88 palette instead of all
1184 colours.
1185 - XTerm_Color01 sequence returned wrong results in query mode.
1186 - iom.C now checks against destructed io_manager when unregistering.
1187
11886.3 Wed Jan 4 22:37:10 CET 2006
1189 - SECURITY FIX: on systems using openpty, permissions were
1190 not correctly updated on the tty device and were left as
1191 world-readable and world-writable (likely in original rxvt,
1192 too), and were not restored properly. Affected are only
1193 systems where non-unix ptys were used (such as most BSDs, not
1194 GNU/Linux). (found, patched and debugged by Ryan Beasley).
1195 - meta8 support was forcefully enabled in most configurations.
1196 restored configurability of this (useless) feature (reported
1197 by Mikachu).
1198 - optionally embed a perl interpreter, which can be used for more
1199 intelligent/customized selection support, visual feedback,
1200 menus, tabs etc. See the the urxvtperl manpage, the -pe option,
1201 perl*-resources and keysym resources. Not everything is there yet.
1202 - try to be more clever about differing font sizes and their ascent.
1203 Not guaranteed to work, but works better in most cases now.
1204 - fix directory permissions on install.
1205 - implemented option to disable built-in line drawing characters
1206 and fall back to the font ones (patch by Martin Pohlack).
1207 - disabled sched_yield support: the linux version is just too useless
1208 (it schedules nice'd processes before the own one for extended
1209 periods). Too bad, it could reduce system time by a factor of 5 here.
1210
12116.2 Mon Jan 2 16:03:01 CET 2006
21 - implemented intensityStyles option which enables/disables bold/blink 1212 - implemented intensityStyles option which enables/disables bold/blink

1220 - include one trailing space in rectangular selections to indicate
1221 the inserted newline (yeah, weird, but visually more pleasing).
1222 - try to use sched_yield to (drastically) improve terminal data
1223 transfer efficiency.
29 - further minor cleanups. 1224 - further minor cleanups.
