47
48TODO: match default regex does not match https://猫.移动/tmp/ => document special encoding and possibly rewrite the regex.
49 - libptytty is now an external dependency.
50 - enable confirm-paste extension by default, can be disabled by e.g.
51 URxvt.perl-ext: -confirm-paste
52 - Key bindings specified with the -keysym option or with resources of
53 the form URxvt*keysym work again. Such resources, as opposed to
54 resources of the form URxvt.keysym, were not officially allowed but
55 accepted, so ignoring them is considered a regression.
56 - new option/resource -rm/rewrapMode, which sets the line rewrap
57 mode to auto, never or always.
58 - new option/resource -dpb/disablePasteBrackets, which can be used to
59 disable bracketed paste mode sequences, as more and more programs
60 abuse these sequences (typically in the name of security, but these
61 sequences are not improving security). Also, bracketed paste mode
62 is now under frills.
63 - add manpage for urclock.
64 - confirm-paste wrongly considered brackets as ctrlchars (patch by
65 Jakub Wilk, debian bug #995244).
66 - if urxvt cannot detect a good estimate for font width (because a font does
67 not contain latin characters at all for example), it will now fall
68 back to xft's max_advance_width, which works well with some fonts. It
69 currently will warn about this.
70 - do not render variation selectors in the default font as boxes, treat
71 them as zero-width characters.
72 - change combining character architecture to allow fonts to handle
73 combining sequences on their own. This could allow future renderers
74 to be more intelligent about these sequences.
75 - use the previous enhancement to allow unicode characters outside of the
76 BMP to be rendered even without --enable-unicode3, as long as an
77 xft with the character is configured.
78 It's recommended to stay with disabled unicode3 even more now.
79 - freetype/xft have been verified to return nonsensical offsets for
80 combining characters. urxvt tries to compensate to some extent,
81 but diacritics will be slightly off in many cases, and far off in
82 some cases (e.g. input mono).
83 - when checking for overlap/careful handling, take non-basefont
84 character shifts into account.
85 - extensions can now request autoloading on OSC and Perl OSC sequences,
86 implement this for the background, clipboard-osc and overlay-osc
87 extensions.
88 - the background extension will now be autoloaded when the OSC 20 or 705
89 sequence is received.
90 - The view_start perl method now scrolls to the bottom also when the
91 argument is greater than 0.
92 - eval scroll actions now scroll to the bottom when scrolling down and
93 there are less lines to scroll than the ones requested (reported by
94 Stephen Talley).
95 - allow perl-ext and perl-ext-common to override autoloaded extensions.
96 this allows tabbed to disable itself in subtabs, avoiding recursive
97 loading.
98 - update precompose table to unicode 13.0.
99 - update charset conversion tables to perl 5.32 (this only affected
100 cs_koi8_u_from_unicode).
101 - unicode characters > 0x100000 were not handled correctly w.r.t.
102 font rendering.
103 - replace bitstream vera by dejavu sans, as it has replaced the former
104 almost everywhere.
105 - urxvt will now try tic -x first and only fall back to tic without -x
106 when tic -x fails.
107 - fix urclock not erasing the old date on the clock face, causing
108 overdraw, plus a host of other small fixes and improvements.
109 - shave off over 1K of code size from urclock by replacing the sine table
110 with a slightly less accurate fixed point approximation.
111 - do not specify indentation with =over in pod, this is no longer
112 needed with semi-modern pod tools and gives the formatter more
113 stylistic freedom.
114 - background extension did not set the "size-sensitive" flag
115 when repeat mode wasn't normal.
116 - extensions are now subjected to "use strict 'subs'".
117 - avoid crashing when xft successfully opens a font but then somehow
118 can't lock the face.
119 - locale_decode/encode api methods now pass through undef unchanged.
120 - fix undefined behaviour in the perl hook function, as diagnosed by clang.
121
1229.26 Fri May 14 19:14:14 CEST 2021
123 - ev_iouring.c was wrongly required during compilation, and wrongly
124 not packaged.
125
1269.25 Fri May 14 15:51:36 CEST 2021
127 - for the 17.5th anniversary, and because many distributions seem to
128 remove rxvt in favour of urxvt, this release resurrects rclock as
129 urclock.
130 - add support for systemd socket-based activation - debian bug #917105,
131 freebsd bug #234276.
132 - do not destruct perl on exit anymore: this might fail for a variety of
133 reasons, and takes unnecessary time.
134 - remove any macros from urxvtperl manpage(s), should fix debian
135 bug 858385.
136 - the old bg image resources are now provided by the background
137 extension, and perl is thus required for bg image support. No
138 configuration change is needed: urxvt autoloads the background
139 ext if any bg image resource/option is present (for OSC sequences to
140 work you need to enable it explicitly). The old bg image
141 resources are also now deprecated; users are encouraged to
142 switch to the new bg image interface (see man urxvt-background).
143 - confirm-paste now checks for any ctlchars, not just newlines.
144 - searchable scrollback will now ignore bracketed paste mode sequences
145 (prompted by Daniel Gröber's patch).
146 - drop ISO 2022 locale support. ISO 2022 encodings are not supported in
147 POSIX locales and clash with vt100 charset emulation (the luit
148 program can be used as a substitute).
149 - perl didn't parse rgba colours specified as an array correctly,
150 only allowing 0 and 100% intensity for each component (this affected
151 fill and tint).
152 - when iterating over resources, urxvt will now try to properly handle
153 multipart resources (such as "*background.expr"), for the benefit
154 of autoloading perl extensions.
155 - ESC G (query rxvt graphics mode) has been disabled due to security
156 implications. The rxvt graphics mode was removed in rxvt-unicode 1.5,
157 and no programs relying on being able to query the mode are known.
158 - work around API change breakage in perl 5.28, based on a patch by
159 Roman Bogorodskiy.
160 - improved security: rob nation's (obsolete) graphics mode queries
161 no longer reply with linefeed in secure/default mode.
162 - ISO 8613-3 direct colour SGR sequences (patch by Fengguang Wu).
163 - xterm focus reporting mode (patch by Daniel Hahler).
164 - xterm SGR mouse mode.
165 - implement DECRQM. Patch by Přemysl Eric Janouch.
166 - add missing color index parameter to OSC 4 response. Patch
167 by Přemysl Eric Janouch.
168 - in some window managers, if smart resize was enabled, urxvt
169 erroneously moved the window on font change - awesome bug
170 #532, arch linux bug ##34807 (patch by Uli Schlachter).
171 - fix urxvtd crash when using a background expression.
172 - properly restore colors when using fading and reverse video
173 is enabled while urxvt is focused and then disabled while it
174 is not focused, or vice versa (patch by Daniel Hahler).
175 - fix high memory usage when an extension repeatedly hides and
176 shows an overlay (reported by Marcel Lautenbach).
177 - expose priv_modes member and constants to perl extensions
178 (patch by Rastislav Barlik).
179 - fix a whole slew of const sillyness, unfortunately forced upon
180 us by ISO C++.
181 - update to libecb 0x00010006.
182 - disable all thread support in ecb.h as we presumably don't need it.
183 - slightly improve Makefile source dependencies.
184 - work around bugs in newer Pod::Xhtml versions (flags incorrect formatting codes
185 in xhtml/html sections but does not interpret correct ones).
186
1879.22 Sat Jan 23 21:07:33 CET 2016
188 - NOTICE: this release updates terminfo.
189 - add terminfo capabilities for various ctrl and shift-ctrl key variants
190 (patch by Sebastian Schmidt).
191 - fix longstanding core font encoding bug where some character
192 ranges could not be mapped from unicode to the font: affected
193 encodings are big5, gb2312, iso8859-8 (hebrew), jis0201 and
194 ksc5601 (reported by Mikachu).
195 - fix crash when the number of columns is 1 and a 0 width character is inserted
196 (reported by Kuang-che Wu).
197 - fix a crash when parsing an invalid color specification (reported by Kuang-che Wu).
198 - fix a buffer overflow in font name parser (reported by Kuang-che Wu).
199 - do not start blinking cursor if the window is unfocused (reported by
200 Devin J. Pohly).
201 - change the width of underline and i-beam cursor to 2 pixels (based on
202 a patch by Omar Sandoval).
203 - add pointerShape resource to change the mouse pointer shape
204 (based on a patch by Brian Watson).
205 - a keysym resource for a key which is already bound to an
206 action now properly rebinds the key.
207 - do not report mouse motion events if Shift is active (patch by Daniel Hahler).
208 - put the alpha component last in responses to OSC color queries
209 (patch by Benjamin Herr).
210 - the key_press hook is now invoked before processing the
211 event, as documented. This change was done in 9.21 but not
212 announced and fixes debian bugs #511377, #531751 and red hat
213 bug #1105069. Note that this change breaks a few scripts,
214 such as mark-yank-urls, which rely on the previous buggy
215 behaviour that urxvt processes the event (in particular
216 keysym bindings) before invoking the hook.
217 - the tabbed extension now properly refreshes the active tab
218 on a key press when the mouse pointer is outside the terminal
219 window.
220 - add 'lookup_keysym' perl method to lookup the action bound
221 to a key combination.
222 - a key combination bound to 'matcher:select' can now be used
223 to cycle through the matches in matcher.
224 - change perl integer accessors (->width et al.) into mutators.
225
2269.21 Wed Dec 31 14:50:03 CET 2014
227 - the "moa redraw 8-bit british vintage colour management" release.
228 - NOTICE: this release updates terminfo.
229 - fix pixel droppings on overdraw when a secondary core font has the
230 same height but different ascent.
231 - implement cvvis in terminfo as blinking cursor, to distinguish it
232 from cnorm (emacs uses cvvis which is commonly a blinking cursor).
233 - when xft support was compiled in, colour queries erroneously returned
234 premultiplied values, this also affected internal queries, for example
235 when calculating faded colour. alpha is now divided out when possible,
236 which is more correct but loses colour resolution.
237 - add DECSCUSR xterm extension to set the cursor to a vertical bar.
238 - add 'extension:string' action, and associated on_action perl
239 hook, for keysym resources that invokes actions provided by
240 perl extensions. The 'perl:string' action and
241 on_user_command hook are deprecated but still supported.
242 - add 'builtin-string' action for keysym resources that restores string
243 mappings for keys that have predefined actions in urxvt.
244 - add -k option to urxvtc for killing the daemon process.
245 - document urxvtd's -e/--eval option that was implemented in 9.16,
246 but not documented.
247 - add -dockapp option to make the wm treat urxvt as a dockapp.
248 - add -mc option and multiClickTime resource to set the maximum time
249 between multi-click select events (patch by Joe Peterson).
250 - new 'eval' extension to evaluate arbitrary perl code with keysym
251 bindings. The extension also provides methods that implement basic
252 actions, such as pasting selections and scrolling.
253 - the macosx-clipboard and macosx-clipboard-native extensions have been removed.
254 - kuake extension now uses the kuake.hotkey resource to specify the hotkey.
255 - new 'matcher:select' mode of matcher to iterate over the matches with the keyboard.
256 - the 'matcher:list' feature of matcher now honours the launcher
257 associated to a matched pattern.
258 - speed-up matcher underlining on very long lines (reported by Edward Z. Yang).
259 - fix up/down commands of searchable-scrollback so that they always move
260 to the previous/next logical line with a match, if any.
261 - searchable-scrollback resource has been deprecated (use keysym instead).
262 - extension parameter passing is deprecated (use resource mechanism instead).
263 - upgrade to GPLv3 (see COPYING).
264 - compile out of the box on Solaris 10, again.
265 - fix height and position of the stippled area in next scrollbar (patch
266 by Thomas Otto).
267 - fix off-by-one bug causing the iso14755 window not to jump out of the
268 way properly.
269 - fix crash that may happen if a lib to which urxvt is linked to calls setenv.
270 - fix memory leak in special_{encode,decode} perl methods.
271 - fix refresh bug that occurs when reverse video is set on a cell
272 containing a space and with the same bg and fg colour, red hat bug
273 #830236.
274 - fix crash that may happen if an x error is received after a terminal
275 window/popup has been destroyed already.
276 - removed superfluous 0 digit from sgr terminfo sequence.
277 - greatly improve colour allocation on colour-starved pseudocolour
278 displays to avoid read-write cells instead of simply failing
279 (this is only relevant for antique 8bpp frame buffers).
280 - do not free fade colours when not doing fading (this is likely
281 only relevant for antique 8bpp frame buffers).
282 - do not specialcase 2 or 4 colour visuals, leading to
283 simpler and actually more correct code.
284 - hopefully no longer leak colours on !truecolour visuals.
285 - use consistent method names (scr_recolour => scr_recolor).
286 - use simpler (but slightly less bogus) formula for nearest
287 colour choice (this is likely only relevant for antique 8bpp
288 frame buffers).
289 - remove fallback behaviour when initialising colours - the
290 behaviour was inconsistent between startup vs. later and
291 was only effective when valid colours couldn't be allocated.
292
2939.20 Sat Apr 26 16:22:27 CEST 2014
294 - (libptytty) fix bug that prevented urxvtd from writing utmp
295 entries when using --fork (reported by Ryan Kavanagh).
296 - security bugfix: window property values could be queried even
297 in secure mode (reported by Conor McCarthy).
298 - fix build when perl is enabled and fading is disabled.
299 - fix regression that broke continuous scrolling when pressing
300 and holding the scrollbar up or down button, gentoo bug #493992.
301 - increase the maximum length of a command sequence to 32k bytes,
302 to allow longer OSC sequences (previous limit was 2k).
303 - new Ctrl-Meta-c and Ctrl-Meta-v bindings to interact with
304 the CLIPBOARD selection.
305 - new extension: selection-to-clipboard.
306 - the extensions macosx-clipboard and macosx-clipboard-native
307 are deprecated and will be removed in the next release.
308 Support for the clipboard on OS X can be more generally
309 enabled by setting the XQuartz preference to sync the OS X
310 pasteboard and the X11 clipboard.
311
3129.19 Sun Oct 27 17:16:07 CET 2013
313 - work around perl 5.18.0 breakage in tabbed extension
314 (reported by Karol Blazewicz) and in pod (Dominic Hargreaves).
315 - fix regression that caused the double-click word selection to
316 erroneously include a tab on the left of the selected word.
317 - implement FOCUS variable and focus_fade function in background
318 expression, to allow focus-sensitive background images.
319 - add support for the set cursor style (DECSCUSR) control
320 function.
321 - honour cursorColor also when the cursor style is underline.
322 - export some Color_xxx constants to Perl.
323
3249.18 Sun Mar 24 15:33:35 CET 2013
325 - fix regression that caused artifacts on resize.
326
3279.17 Fri Mar 1 13:46:08 CET 2013
328 - add shade operator in background perl extension.
329 - avoid starting or ending the selection in the middle of wide
330 characters to avoid artifacts (reported by Tiago Resende).
331 - fix artifacts that may occur if the character in the cursor
332 cell has width > 1 (reported by Tiago Resende).
333 - fix regression that causes artifacts on scrolling if
334 saveLines is 0 and the window is resized (reported by Bert
335 Münnich).
336 - fix build when perl is enabled and pixbuf and transparency
337 are disabled.
338
3399.16 Thu Dec 27 11:56:43 CET 2012
340 - the "so much new stuff your eyes will pop out" release.
341 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: renamed urlLauncher resource to url-launcher.
342 - fix processing of DEC private mode save sequences (patch by Patrick
343 Hemmer).
344 - perl extensions now have their own manpages, installed as urxvt-NAME(1),
345 e.g. urxvt-background(1) - see urxvt-extensions(1) for a list.
346 - fix disabling of cursor blink with the option-popup menu (based on a
347 patch by Jan Larres).
348 - the font height is not augmented anymore when lineSpace is non zero.
349 - fix "new pagemap" vs. "delete pagemap" mismatch ([] vs. non-[]),
350 as diagnosed by clang.
351 - fix height mismatch between active and inactive cursor when
352 lineSpace is non zero (patch by Stanislav Seletskiy).
353 - make it compile with LOCAL_X_IS_UNIX again (reported by
354 nickfailure@gmail.com).
355 - completely redone background pixmap support - users can now
356 specify arbitrary expressions (And programs) that calculate
357 new terminal backgrounds. see the urxvt-background manpage
358 for details.
359 - xrender is now required for background pixmap support.
360 - perl extensions can now provide commandline switches and resources
361 which show up in -help etc.
362 - iso14755 51 mode window now displays row and column.
363 - implement a -visual switch and move that and -depth to frills, also
364 warn when we can't get the requested visual.
365 - new env variable: RXVT_PERL_LIB.
366 - allocate all screen memory in one go and let the virtual memory
367 subsystem sort it out. this simplifies code, improves access
368 locality, saves a bit of ram and makes things a bit faster, too.
369 - remove support for libafterimage.
370 - update to CVS version of libev, for a whopping 11kb size decrease.
371 - do not ship yet another copy of ecb.h, use the one in libev or
372 libptytty instead.
373 - selectively mark some methods as cache-hot/cache cold, which
374 might speed up execution but definitely decreases codesize.
375 - Fix regression that prevented the scrollbar trough color
376 from being applied (reported by Derek B. Noonburg).
377 - Fix the scrollbar size for rxvt style (patch by Mark Robinson).
378
3799.15 Sat Jan 21 13:36:56 CET 2012
380 - remove "using namespace std" because clang erroneously
381 thinks thats an error.
382 - finding a matching font (e.g. bold version of the base font)
383 was broken (reported by Eamon Walker).
384 - fix parsing of bg image styles. They really work now.
385 - fix blurring of bg image borders when using xrender.
386 - fix xrender blur on common xrender implementations that do
387 not behave correctly when the same pixmap is used as source
388 and destination in composite operations.
389 - fix regression that caused tabbed to compute the wrong size
390 for tabs.
391 - allow again an empty suffix in a keysym list spec (patch by
392 Sung Pae).
393 - unsupported support for sun studio's CC added.
394 - fix -C option on solaris.
395
3969.14 Wed Dec 21 18:40:33 CET 2011
397 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: the urxvtd default socket path is now
398 $HOME/.urxvt/urxvtd-<nodename>.
399 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: the "list" keysym expansion now requires
400 loading of the "keysym-list" perl extension.
401 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: A scale value of 0 in the bg image
402 geometry no longer enables tiling, so as to make it possible
403 to disable both scaling and tiling.
404 - overhaul of the bg image operations. The old operations have
405 been deprecated in favour of elementary operations and
406 styles built on top of the new operations and scale/position
407 settings. (Emanuele Giaquinta).
408 - support for libafterimage is deprecated and will be removed
409 in the next release.
410 - fix a crash caused by selection_check not properly resetting
411 out-of-bounds mark values (can happen when extending a selection
412 while scrolling up in curses programs for example).
413 - do not move the selection when scrolling up and the selection is
414 outside the scrolling region (Emanuele Giaquinta).
415 - fix display of bold bright black (reported by Ben Winslow).
416 - fix memory leak when urgentOnBell is set (patch by Nathaniel
417 Filardo).
418 - fix a redraw bug that occurs when a bg pixmap is set and the
419 wm does not honour the size hints set by urxvt. Now urxvt
420 forces the size of the terminal window to be a multiple of
421 the cell size.
422 - sanitise the argument of SD / SU sequences. Fixes a possible
423 crash when the argument is big enough, red hat bug #711137
424 (Emanuele Giaquinta).
425 - correctly split long lines when scrolling.
426 - urxvt now looks for perl extensions also in $HOME/.urxvt/ext.
427 - add bell-command perl extension to execute a command when a
428 bell event occurs (Ryan Kavanagh).
429 - add set_urgency perl binding to set/reset the urgency hint.
430 - consume button release event in matcher (exg).
431 - keyboard accessible list of recent matches in matcher
432 (Bob Farrell).
433 - properly process 'keysym' sequences in tabbed when using
434 'focus follows mouse' and the focus is on the main window
435 but not on the active terminal window (patch by Martin
436 Pohlack).
437 - support for the freedesktop startup-notification protocol (patch by
438 Michael Stapelberg).
439 - the direction of VPR and VPB commands was reversed.
440 - fix alignment of inherited root pixmap when it is a different size
441 than the root window and the terminal window is off the left or top
442 edge (Mikachu).
443 - make $self visible in "eval perl expression" popup action, also
444 handle exceptions better.
445 - fix parsing of '-e' when it occurs as an option argument, such as in
446 'urxvt -title -e' (Emanuele Giaquinta).
447
4489.12 Wed Jun 29 14:34:28 CEST 2011
449 - fix regression in processing of SelectionNotify events.
450 urxvt would fail to request a selection if the owner did not
451 support the UTF8_STRING target.
452 - fix rendering of double width chars in certain circumstances, more
453 likely to happen if urxvt is compiled with 256 colors support as
454 urxvt runs out of fonts much earlier then. Fixes gentoo bug #358151
455 (Emanuele Giaquinta).
456 - restore support for 'list' syntax in keysym resources (requested by Sung Pae).
457 - always premultiply colour values - while this increases differences between
458 core fonts and xft, it is "more correct" in practical situations.
459 - disable PTYTTY_REENTRANT option - not needed for urxvt and saves a bit of code.
460 - remove lucidatypewriter from the list of fallback fonts, it was the only
461 non-xft non-cellfont in the list anyway.
462
4639.11 Mon May 2 10:34:46 CEST 2011
464 - fix compilation on GNU/Hurd, debian bug #624736.
465 - remove 'list' syntax for keysym resources, as it serves no useful purpose.
466 If you need it, poke us and provide a use case.
467 - fix alpha channel support. Premultiply alpha in colours if the visual
468 supports an alpha channel, as xrender expects premultiplied alpha
469 (Emanuele Giaquinta).
470 - fix reply to a selection request sent by an obsolete client
471 such as syncterm (patch by Marcin Cieslak).
472 - fix crash when the window is resized and the overlay is active
473 (Emanuele Giaquinta, reported by Ryan Kavanagh).
474 - match character-wise rather than byte-wise in selection
475 extension again. perl 5.8.9+ is required to avoid extreme
476 slowdowns. Fixes debian bugs #523072, #616463.
477 - fix a possible crash if the INCR transfer process for a
478 selection property timeouts and at least one chunk is
479 received. (Emanuele Giaquinta)
480 - work around a memory corruption bug in xorg's XrmSetDatabase (apparently
481 broken since http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/xorg-commit-diffs/2004-March/000239.html).
482 - fix memory corruption bug when custom command sequences bound to keys
483 were injected into an already-full pty input buffer.
484 - gdk-pixbuf is autodetected by default and preferred over libafterimage.
485 - do not prepend a newline to the selection text when the starting line
486 of the selection is not highlighted (Emanuele Giaquinta).
487 - don't swap perl env with real env, save and restore it, just in case
488 we ever get recursive perl invocations. also saves a bit of codespace
489 with gcc.
490 - fix various memory leaks (Emanuele Giaquinta).
491 - fix typo in kIC terminfo capability, debian bug #446444.
492 - document 'thickness' resource.
493 - fix debian bug #504817, to the extent possible.
494 - try to detect byte order at compile time, saves a couple of
495 hundred bytes, if your compiler is smart enough.
496 - add support for previewing the pasted data in confirm-paste
497 (Emanuele Giaquinta).
498 - added "newlines to spaces" option in selection-popup.
499 - actually enabled solaris event ports backend (was disabled by accident).
500 - revert to 38400 baud max., mission accomplished.
501 - no longer create scary "pty_fill: PLEASE REPORT" message, instead,
502 silently drain the input (problem is well understood now).
503 - no longer swallow rob nation's own graphics mode commands.
504
5059.10 Mon Dec 13 17:43:52 CET 2010
506 - the "schmorp=north korea dickey=south korea" release.
507 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: make OSC 20 simpler and more correct
508 (Emanuele Giaquinta).
509 - if options were compiled out, this could lead to the option
510 count to be defined wrongly. This is likely behind the
511 failures with gcc 4.5.
512 - explicitly depend on fontconfig and xrender when xft support
513 is enabled. Although the public Xft api uses types from
514 both, in Xft 2.2.0 these libs are private
515 dependencies only thanks to an idiotic behaviour of
516 pkg-config that was added to workaround cases like this one.
517 Fixes linking when using GNU ld with --as-needed or GNU gold
518 (based on patch by Jan Palus).
519 - fix minor memory leaks in urxvt and urxvtd.
520 - fix regression in urxvtd that prevented options from being correctly
521 set (reported by Michal Vaner).
522 - implement xterm's horribly broken 1005 mouse reporting mode,
523 and an alternative 1015 mode that works in non-utf-8 locales
524 and has fewer limitations.
525 - fix a possible bug where mouse notifications didn't work after
526 startup for the upper left corner.
527 - implement our own pixbuf to pixmap rendering to get rid of
528 dependency on buggy gdk-pixbuf-xlib. Only truecolor visuals
529 are supported (Emanuele Giaquinta).
530 - apply tinting before shading when both operations are requested.
531 Previously they were intermixed when lightening and the result
532 was inaccurate and confusing. Note that now a black tint yields a
533 completely black image, regardless of shading (Emanuele Giaquinta).
534 - avoid spurious redraws of the bg image when bg is transparent or
535 when using 'root' mode (Emanuele Giaquinta).
536 - fix build on XFree86.
537 - dynamically number options according to compiletime requirements.
538 For the extra saved byte. Or so. Yay.
539 - start options at one, not zero. Wastes a bit per terminal. Maybe.
540 saves 50 instruction bytes. Possibly.
541
5429.09 Sat Nov 13 01:39:07 CET 2010
543 - NOTICE: this release updates terminfo/termcap.
544 - the bestest release ever.

547 - add support for using gdk-pixbuf as image backend (Emanuele Giaquinta).
548 - cleanup and minor fixes of the image code (Emanuele Giaquinta).
549 - new perl extension "confirm-paste" (Emanuele Giaquinta).
550 - new on_tt_paste perl hook and tt_paste perl binding (Emanuele Giaquinta).
551 - new on_bell perl hook (Emanuele Giaquinta).
552 - searchable-scrollback no longer ignores the first line
553 (Emanuele Giaquinta).
554 - properly set VSTATUS in termios for *BSD (reported by Ed Schouten).
555 - fix utmpx detection on upcoming FreeBSD 9.
556 - Use COMPOUND_TEXT encoding for WM_NAME/WM_ICON_NAME value when it
557 is not fully convertible to STRING (patch by James Cloos).
558 - fix a buffer overflow that would cause wrong key sequences to
559 be generated for numpad keys (introduced in 9.05).
560 - fix definition of sgr0 to work around limitations in luit.
561 - extend ISO 14755 5.4 mode to also print the font name of the
562 characters other than first one in the selected cell
563 (Emanuele Giaquinta).
564 - new iso14755 option to disable ISO 14755 at runtime
565 (Emanuele Giaquinta).
566 - make sure pagewise scrolling scrolls at least one line
567 (found by Mikachu).
568 - remove deprecated OSC 18 / 19 and make OSC 17 / 19 apply to
569 highlightColor / highlightTextColor (Emanuele Giaquinta).
570 - add highlightTextColor resource to change the foreground colour of
571 highlighted characters (Emanuele Giaquinta).
572 - make highlightColor apply also to selected cells with reverse video
573 but not to non selected cells with reverse video (Emanuele Giaquinta).
574 - remove colorRV resource (it was enabled only with frills off).
575 - fix numlock handling, the most longstanding bug to date (Emanuele Giaquinta).
576 - reduce the number of custom bits to 4, to make room
577 for 256 colours.
578 - add support for 256 colors (Emanuele Giaquinta, Marc Lehmann).
579 - add rxvt-unicode-256color terminfo and use it by default in 256 colors mode.
580 - update rxvt-unicode terminfo to state 7744 colour pairs to cover all
581 88*88 possible pairs.
582 - actually added macosx-clipboard-native, which should have been in
583 the 9.07 release but had been forgotten.
584 - fix hang if DECAWM is not set and there are not enough columns to insert a
585 character (Emanuele Giaquinta).
586 - cub1 ("backspace") will now respect wrapping when past the rightmost column,
587 working around a shortcoming of most tty line discipline's line editing.
588 - add support for grabbing the clipboard selection and extend
589 selection{_clear,_grab,} perl bindings to optionally work
590 on the clipboard selection (based on patch by Dana Jansens).
591 - no longer force CERASE to BACKSPACE - use the system default. affects
592 default value for VERASE only when no compatible setting for
593 backspacekey was given.
594 - use higher than 38400 baudrate setting, if detected.
595 - erase screen would clear to the wrong background when blinking
596 was enabled (which selects high intensity under some circumstances).
597 - scr_kill_char didn't touch the line.
598 - upgrade and port to libev-4.01.
599 - enabled solaris event ports and kqueue backends (if available).
600
6019.07 Wed Dec 30 07:07:18 CET 2009
602 - port to glibc-2.10 changes (strchr etc. returning const char *
603 in C++), based on patches by Milos Jakubicek and Oliver Mader.
604 - the binary search algorithm to find precomposed characters
605 was faulty, skipping some possible combinations (found by
606 Mikachu).
607 - new -letterspace option, patch by Mark H. Wilkinson.
608 - enable --mlock option for urxvt with frills on
609 systems supporting it (patch by Russell Harmon).
610 - urxvt did not compile without frills enabled
611 (analysed by Matthew Rosewarne).
612 - correctly reset the mbstate after an illegal
613 input sequence when handling terminal output (Emanuele Giaquinta).
614 - avoid redrawing wide characters with combining enabled on every
615 refresh (reported by Mikachu).
616 - fix a typo preventing the ISO-646.1991 character set from being
617 recognized (http://achurch.org/patch-pile/).
618 - better warning for x11 font encoding detection failures, also,
619 try to deduce encoding from both font properties and name
620 (adapted from http://achurch.org/patch-pile/).
621 - resizing the window with the scrollbar disabled via the escapes
622 sequence could make the window bigger again (Mikachu).
623 - make sure the alignment for fd passing control messages
624 is correct and work around some NetBSD issues (Taylor R Campbell).
625 - update to libptytty 1.3.
626 - replace macosx-clipboard by a nicer version by Reza Jelveh, and move
627 the old version to macosx-clipboard-native.
628 - document the -uc option (Emanuele Giaquinta).
629 - assertions in libev are now enabled depending on frills.
630 - update AnyEvent implementation to version 5.23 API.
631 - work around arrogant bsd idiocies again: netbsd spills the default
632 namespace with lots of symbols "for gnu/gcc compatibility" even
633 though neither of them does it, and then calls the rest of the world
634 in need of fixing. go figure.
635 - on_keyboard_command is on_user_command (patch by Michael Witten).
636 - setting the selection from perl will now reset the selection screen
637 to the current screen. the screen can be manipulated using
638 the new ->selection_screen method.
639 - implement --enable-assert configure option and get rid of DEBUG_STRICT
640 (based on patch by Emanuele Giaquinta).
641 - fix printpipe data output (patch by Emanuele Giaquinta).
642 - allow `xxx' quoting style for perl selection.
643 - upgrade to libev-3.9 prerelease.

647 - NOTICE: this release updates terminfo/termcap.
648 - updates libev to 3.48.
649 - the aterm code now frees the as visual and image manager objects
650 when a window was closed.
651 - do not (wrongly) adjust the virtual line length inside
652 scr_insdel_chars/ERASE (Miroslav Lichvar).
653 - fix an issue where wide tab characters caused character shifts
654 when part of them was deleted (tracked down by Miroslav Lichvar).
655 - artificially enlargen the previous character at the end of a line
656 when trying to output a character that doesn't fit. looks ugly, but
657 makes copy&paste work.
658 - remove bogus "setuid/setgid security issues" from rxvt.1.pod, they
659 no longer apply.
660 - the urgency hint is now cleared on both focus in and focus out.
661 - cache urgency hint locally to avoid server rtt on every focus change.
662 - perl 5.10 needs PERL_SYS_INIT3 on hppa.
663 - ignore byte-order marks and do not treat them like combining characters.
664 - fix build issue when CURSOR_BLINK is not defined (Emanuele Giaquinta).
665 - do some µ-optimisations to the character fast path.
666 - use a less cunning, but more robust algorithm to avoid one terminal
667 monopolising the whole process by outputting a lot of text.
668 - try to work around linux first breaking sched_yield and now breaking
669 the only known workaround.
670 - new option -icon to set _NET_WM_ICON (based on patch by Frank Schmitt).
671 - initialise the as visual only on demand, instead of unconditionally,
672 to save memory in the common case of not using visual gimmicks.
673 - try to work around bugs in a few wm's that erroneously resize
674 client windows on hint property updates by temporarily
675 disabling size hints.
676 - implement the DECSTR soft reset sequence and use it for tput init,
677 and make hard RIS and DECSTR both reset more private modes, such
678 as mouse reporting.
679 - redundantly clear mouse reporting and a few other states in
680 tput init/tput reset, for older urxvts.
681 - partial/full clear screens did cause flickering and possibly pixel
682 droppings when urxvt viewed the scrollback buffer.
683 - use current rendition style in DCH sequence.
684 - the 132/80 mode switch no longer forces a screen reset.
685 - add an osc sequence to change the border colour (Emanuele Giaquinta).
686 - new perl extension "overlay-osc", for status displays and the like.
687 - fix some minor cursor drawing issues with overlays by allowing
688 overlays to modify screen flags (to disable the cursor themselves).
689 - work around programs not restoring rstyle before rmcup
690 (analysed by Miroslav Lichvar).
691
6929.05 Sun Jun 15 20:09:20 CEST 2008
693 - new option --cd/chdir to set the starting working directory.
694 - tabbed extension now starts in the "correct" working directory.
695 - work around fedora 9 providing isastream but not the relevant
696 header file for it (report by Tuncer Ayaz).
697 - upgrade libev, fixing a bug in the select backend.
698 with more than 31 file descriptors on non-linux 64 bit systems.
699 - correctly reset the multibyte state to the initial one
700 after EILSEQ (patch by Neil Booth). This fixes the
701 issue of rxvt-unicode not properly displaying text after an illegal
702 sequence on NetBSD and probably other systems.
703 - more intelligent property handling with -pe tabbed, works around
704 broken window managers (kwm et al.), saves bandwidth and should
705 help working window managers as well.
706 - made tabs moveable (based on a patch by Petr Machata).
707 - implement ESC [ 3 K as a more rational alternative to ESC [ 0 K.
708 - support relative paths for RXVT_SOCKET in urxvtd.
709 - the tabbed extension now blindly copies over all (rxvt-) resources
710 from the toplevel window to the children.
711 - better diagnostic on 0x0 window geometries.
712 - update AnyEvent API to version 3.4 and above.
713 - document the default value of :0 for DISPLAY.

717 - the "exg makes everybody happy" release.
718 - fix build with !xft.
719 - always compile in plain style scrollbar (simplifies code and looks great).
720
7219.01 Sat Jan 26 20:49:27 CET 2008
722 - be more aggressive about handling X events, this seems to be required
723 with newer xlibs (should fix the "screen stays black until event is
724 received" problem, again :)
725 - add buffered resource to control xft double-buffering.
726
7279.0 Fri Jan 25 19:34:04 CET 2008
728 - fix a crash bug where urxvtd would crash when urxvtc was called
729 with wrong arguments (I wish debian maintainers in general would
730 report bugs and their proposed fixes to the original package maintainers
731 instead of sitting on them for good measure to see if anybody notices).
732 - drawing xft compose characters was causing garbage to be drawn.
733 - correctly clear xft character background in all cases.
734 - implement bracketed paste mode (xterm private mode 2004).
735 - improve documentation on alpha channel handling, make urxvt
736 work better on servers lacking the RENDER extension when alpha
737 channels or background images are used.
738 - check for refresh after initialising to avoid staying blank
739 till the first event arrives. or so.
740 - the FORCE_UNBUFFERED_XFT feature macro works again.
741 - continuously update transparency while moving/resizing now.
742 - OSC 39/49 are deprecated and aliased to OSC 10/11.
743 - cub1 now acts as advertised (and ignores the "wrapped" state).
744 - the 132/80 mode switch now forces a height of 24, too, and
745 resets the terminal.
746 - scrollbar code cleanups.
747 - stopping children is no longer confused with children exiting.
748 - removed (undocumented) #aarrggbb format.
749 - updated to libev 3.0.
750
7518.9 Mon Dec 24 07:51:40 CET 2007
752 - fix the issue where urxvtd would not immediately close a window
753 when the command exited but only on the next X event.
754 - changed terminfo file not to use application keypad mode.
755 - fix the issue where making a selection in one urxvtd window
756 would not clear it visually in another.
757 - fix an issue of urxvt not getting background pixmap updates
758 and flickering after bg pixmap changes (reported by Mikachu).
759 - fix redraw bug in xterm scrollbar with -sr (reported by Mikachu).
760 - correctly provide dependencies for libev (µikachu).
761 - minor code reorganisations and cleanups.
762 - be more robust in case the urxvt-popup extension cannot be loaded.
763
7648.8 Sat Dec 15 19:40:39 CET 2007
765 - option -C was aliased to all unsupported options, activating
766 options that shouldn't be compiled in, leading to interesting
767 effects.
768 - updated libev, working around a bug in linux 2.4, curing the
769 symptom of urxvt not closing its window on shell exit. also
770 fixes a problem with urxvt not refreshing.
771 - the text blink callback was called even when no blinking
772 text was visible.
773 - pre-8.4 slipwheeling behaviour has been reinstated, with
774 some minor improvements.
775 - streamlined x events processing to only flush once per
776 display and not once per terminal window.
777 - quite a bit of minor code cleanups and codesize optimisations.
778
7798.7 Sun Nov 25 10:23:49 CET 2007
780 - update libev with an important bugfix that would cause crashes
781 when closing windows (when using rxvtd, and update is recommended).
782 - do not compile in the block builtin graphics with --disable-frills.
783
7848.6 Fri Nov 23 14:10:57 CET 2007
785 - upgrade libev to disable kqueue on anything but netbsd as it
786 seems to be broken everywhere else w.r.t. ptys.
787 - allow for spurious event notifications, as at least epoll and
788 especially solaris ports like to lie about them (symptoms:
789 urxvt "hangs" until there is some x11 related activity).
790 - -keysym command line options are now subjected to xlib parsing.
791 - add 'xrm' option analogous to Xt one.
792
7938.5a Wed Nov 21 10:16:33 CET 2007
794 - make it compile with --disable-transparency.
795
7968.5 Wed Nov 21 05:19:20 CET 2007
797 - expect major portability issues in this release: please test and report.
798 - converted from the veritable io manager event loop to
799 the high performance libev (http://software.schmorp.de/pkg/libev).
800 - minor tuning to the perl selection (include single words and more quoting chars).
801 - fix memory leak in pixmap code.
802 - fix a serious bug while setting the XIM destroy callback
803 on (typical) 64 bit systems.
804 - automove-background functionality re-implemented internally using :root op in pixmap
805 geometry string. For example: rxvt -pixmap "image.jpg;:root"
806 - do not link rxvtc against every lib on the planet anymore.
807 - parallel builds should work once more.
808
8098.4 Sat Oct 27 14:02:13 CEST 2007
810 - overhaul of the transparency/pixmap code (sasha).
811 - fix possible race between visual bell and poweron.
812 (reported by Martin von Gagern, gentoo?).
813 - urxvt -e no longer crashes the child.
814 - fixed some minor memleaks on incorrect usage or
815 missing DISPLAY.
816 - implement xterm 1002/1003 mouse tracking modes (exg).
817 - source code organisational cleanups (exg).
818 - updated io_manager.
819
8208.3 Wed Aug 1 20:21:31 CEST 2007
821 - new option: skipScroll/-ss, enabled by default.
822 - go with the times and expect x11 library files in /usr/lib, not
823 /usr/X11R6/lib.
824 - initial transparency improvement/afterimage support
825 patch by Sasha Vasko.
826 - add urgentOnBell resource to set the urgency hint
827 (patch by Philip Paeps).
828 - do not process focus events caused by grabs
829 (patch by Mikachu).
830 - add iso14755_52 resource to disable iso14755 5.2 (exg).
831 - add binding for backspace in iso14755 5.1 to remove the last
832 digit (exg).
833 - better option handling, support more than 30 options (exg).
834 - nuke reconf script, serves no purpose anymore.
835 - fixed and documented matcher/on_user_command processing in matcher
836 extension (tpope).
837 - compile out of the box on Solaris 10 (exg).
838 - fix MappingNotify events (reported by Stephan Walter).
839 - zero-initialise mwmhints, this seems to solve all sorts of minor
840 problems.
841
8428.2 Sat Feb 17 21:35:28 CET 2007
843 - fix make depend in src/, reported by exg.
844 - fixed typo in urxvt::GET_CUSTOM, causing the result to be wrong.
845 (patch by Sergey Vlasov).
846 - unbundled iom perl interface somewhat.
847 - scrollbar-xterm now uses the selected scrollColor instead of fg
848 (found by Aiviru).
849 - disabled linux kernel bug workaround again: disabling it gives
850 a 50% speed hit on affected machines, while enabling it gives
851 a similar speed hit to screen, which is likely the more common
852 case to work around for :/
853 - urxvt::rend2mask perl function, and utilization of it by matcher
854 (patch by Moshe Kamensky).
855 - use perl:matcher on a keysym to open most recently displayed URL.
856 - with matcher, when multiple patterns match, last wins, not first.
857 - fix make and make install with srcdir != builddir (exg).
858 - updated bundled libptytty to fix a bug where the tty would be kept
859 open (see the libptytty ChangeLog for details).
860 - delay setting the IUTF8 flag to after the tty settings have been
861 set so its value does not get lost (reported and analysed by Andrei
862 Paskevich).
863 - rip out support for obsolete sgtty.h interface.
864 - rip out support for non-POSIX termios variants.
865 - update libptytty.
866 - update iom.C, make it call ptytty::sanitise_stdfd on init.
867 - when !XFT, change rounding of colours to use a less correct formula to
868 meet user expectancies (#aaa becomes #a000a000a000 not #9f9f9f9f9f9f).
869 - change the starting offset of the pixmap set with backgroundPixmap
870 from (50,50) to (0,0) (exg).
871 - fix a typo in button_release, now meta-button2 request the value of
872 the Clipboard selection as it should (patch by Serge Koksharov).
873 - fix a bug in drawing a cell with a nonspacing char when using an xft
874 font with inheritPixmap and tintColor (exg).
875
8768.1 Thu Dec 7 22:27:25 CET 2006
877 - ｹﾘｽﾏｽﾌ゚ﾚｾ゙ﾝﾄ - zomg!!1, it's too early!!!
878 - fix the assumption that chars < 256 are single-width. Now
879 only assume this for codepoints 32 to 126 (reported by Dai.H.).
880 - $term->strwidth returned wide chars as width 1, because some jerk
881 confused min and max. Fixing this also fixes xim-onthespot.
882 Reported by Takano Akio.
883 - secondaryScroll is now enabled by default (as per the manpage),
884 reported by exg.
885 - correct the description of [percent]color rgba format in the manpage.
886 - incorporated macosx-clipboard extension by Samuel Ljungkvist.
887 - ignore (some) useless focus events (reported by mmc).
888 - updated compose table to unicode 5.0.0.
889
8908.0 Thu Nov 2 18:35:19 CET 2006
891 - combining characters cleared the area instead of creating an overlay,
892 thus losing the ability to draw combining characters properly in most
893 circumstances (reported by exg).
894 - specified fonts were incorrectly morphed to bold/italic according to the
895 basefont, even if explicitly specified (tracked down by tpope).
896 - fixed urxvt::strwidth to calculate width in the same way as screen.C.
897 - fix a crash caused by passing negative widths to overlay functions.
898 - added 'matcher' extension by tpope, replacing the mark-urls extension.
899 - improve url regex to match anything www.* (tpope).
900 - fixed bug with outline cursor color being wrong after xft fonts.
901 - update to libptytty-1.0.
902 - give proper diagnostic when RXVT_SOCKET is too long instead of
903 corrupting the stack (patch by exg).
904 - display current terminal locale in option menu.
905 - urxvtd no longer crashes when the client sends an inaccessible
906 working directory (reported by Roland Baer, possibly fixes gentoo
907 bug #143985).
908 - fixed many minor issues reported by Roland Baer.
909 - Leonid Khramov spotted a minor glitch in rxvtfont.C that
910 should not have any consequences, but was buggy nonetheless.
911 - manpage fix by exg.
912
9137.9 Mon Aug 7 18:16:07 CEST 2006
914 - fix the crashing bug people encountered with 7.8 + urxvtd + perl
915 + transparency. Ought to fix debian bug #380348.
916 - fix urxvtc.1.pod: it actually claimed -pty-fd would not work. But
917 it does! :->
918 - rxvt_fatal() in case the locale string is too long for our static buffer.
919 - fixed many, many, typos in the manpages (patch supplied by ves).
920
9217.8 Mon Jul 17 21:00:46 CEST 2006
922 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: this version will always read ~/.Xdefaults,
923 earlier versions only read it if display-resources (usually from
924 .Xresources) are not set. This avoids the #1 FAQ ("why isn't my
925 resource used") and seems to be logical behaviour, too. .Xdefaults
926 resources have a lower priority than display-specific resources.
927 - add "kuake" perl extension that does a similar thing to the kuake
928 terminal emulator (see man urxvtperl).
929 - use less "correct" color scaling that is compatible with libX11 and
930 Xft (avoids off-by-one colors resulting in striped backgrounds).
931 - the "depth" resource is now respected.
932 - preset the searchable-scrollback pattern with "(?i)" to default search
933 to case-insensitivity. Will automatically be cleared when typing an
934 uppercase character.
935 - add FORCE_UNBUFFERED_XFT define to features.h.
936 - re-enabled highlightcolor support with --enable-frills, based on
937 a patch by Martin Stubenschrott.
938 - double-buffered xft drawing did suffer from pixel offset issues
939 when pixmap transparency was enabled.
940 - strategically add # to the url-match regexes, as we really want to
941 match common URIs not common URLs. Reported by Aaron Griffin.
942 - moved on_osc_seq to on_osc_seq_perl and added a more
943 generic osc_seq.
944 - fix a bug causing double callback invocations when perl hooks
945 were invoked recursively.
946 - the automove-background extension now properly works when the
947 pixmap gets reset with an osc sequence (sqweek).
948 - selection-pastebin did not work properly with non-latin1-characters.
949 - apply colorUL only when the text colour is the default fg
950 (patch by Wu Fengguang).
951 - removed rxvtlib.h from the tarball, it had no reason to be there
952 (spotted by Decklin Foster).
953 - fix compiling with TRANSPARENT but !XPM_BACKGROUND, as reported
954 by omatunto_.
955 - slap in a using namespace std, might help on platforms that don't
956 follow C++ closely enough.
957 - fix mailto url regex, spotted within milliseconds by Jost Krieger.
958 - applied fade_color_update_func.patch by WU Fengguang.
959 - fix a bug where (due to an optimisation in av_delete), hiding the
960 bottom-most overlay would hide two overlays.
961
9627.7 Tue Feb 21 12:32:49 CET 2006
963 - use double-buffered drawing (xft fonts only). On many driver/hardware
964 combination this actually increases xft drawing speed, at the expense
965 of more network bandwidth and slight nausea on the side of the author.
966 - readline perl extension now requires shift-click instead of a normal
967 click, and eats the click.
968 - tabbed perl extension now supports -e.
969 - disabled graphics-exposures on the main drawing GC, report any
970 refresh bugs please.
971 - improve property handling for -pe tabbed: avoid unnecessary property
972 changes (for kde's benefit) at the expense of extra round-trips,
973 improve size hint setting.
974 - modified XIM according to a patch sent by Takano Akio that sets
975 the preedit rectangle for OverTheSpot, which helps some input methods
976 to correctly position their preedit window.
977 - un-optimise the line clearing on newly scrolled-in lines a bit: the
978 former reasoning was that any fg colour on default bg looks the same
979 in empty spaces, but that's not true when reversing (e.g. selection),
980 so also check for matching fg colours. This fixes the problem where
981 selecting newly scrolled-in lines would exhibit wrong colours.
982 - fix a bug in the perl interface causing focus in events to generate
983 focus out perl events, causing bad focus effects with -pe tabbed.
984 - fix a race resulting in a crash on exiting.
985 - fix a with --disable-xft that caused xfreecolors to be called on
986 colors never allocated, resulting in aborts (reported by Paco-Paco).
987 - resources on non-initial screens weren't refetched correctly
988 (reported by Paco-Paco).
989 - fix a bug in xcopyarea pass and _disable_ it, as it seems not to be
990 working in either rxvt-unicode nor in the original rxvt.
991 - removed undocumented -exec alias for the -e option.
992
9937.6 Fri Feb 10 08:52:36 CET 2006
994 - changed interpretation of [alpha] colour prefix.
995 - +option now really sets the option to default, instead of using the
996 resource value.
997 - options that require an argument now really _require_ an argument.
998 - the tabbed extension now forwards focus and key events to the
999 relevant tab window.
1000 - tab colours are now configurable and have sensible defaults
1001 (initial patch by hednod).
1002 - option menu is extendable, readline, selection and
1003 selection-autotransform can now be disabled/enabled at runtime.
1004 - forcing a configure event to tabbed subwindows with -pe tabbed, for
1005 the benefit of automove-background.
1006 - the automove-background extension added a wrong constant offset.
1007 - force refresh of XA_RESOURCE_STRING on virtual reconnect.
1008 - return exit status 2 in urxvtc when urxvtd couldn't be contacted.
1009 - the linux yield hack is back, now using usleep, and enabled only on
1010 __linux__.
1011 - further round trip eliminations in the !XFT case by remembering
1012 the colour components.
1013 - plain scrollbar works better with -sr.
1014 - fixed half-shadow scrollbar look.
1015 - more colour rtt optimisations.
1016 - properly(?) free colours on window close.
1017 - reorganised the FAQ into multiple sections.
1018 - add ISO646.1991-IRV to the list of supported codesets.
1019 - minor libptytty update.
1020
10217.5 Tue Jan 31 15:15:43 CET 2006
1022 - further improvements to the careful mode detection, and font width
1023 detection:
1024 - fully double-wide fonts will now be correctly treated,
1025 - overlap detection was improved.
1026 - detect totally broken fonts (usually synthesized by xft).
1027 - careful mode forced refresh sometimes clashed with blinking,
1028 causing unnecessary screen redraws.
1029 - better handling of XFT combining characters.
1030 - enable antialiasing for some replacement fonts, as they
1031 might get used for other encodings which really need it, later.
1032 - remove spacing=100 from all default fonts, as this creates totally
1033 weird spacing (5 times normal) with xft.
1034 - removed iso10646 fallback, as xorgs iso10646 encoded fonts are mostly
1035 broken.
1036 - removed gnu unifont fallback, all combining characters are broken.
1037 - replace named colours by xorg's rgb.txt equivalents, to
1038 reduce round trip time on startup, and short-cut allocation
1039 of rgb:rr/gg/bb for xft.
1040 - short-cut allocation of rgb values in the xlib case
1041 (patch by Paco-Paco).
1042 - overhauled color management: smaller codesize, alpha support.
1043 - support "rgba:rrrr/gggg/bbbb/aaaa" color specifications and
1044 an "[alpha]" prefix.
1045 - try to work around Xft and Xrender forcing everything to be 100%
1046 transparent. Long Live Xft!
1047 - do not include X11/Intrinsic.h anymore, directly use
1048 Xlib/Xutil/Xresource directly.
1049 - try to find a nearest matching color when color allocation fails
1050 on a pseudocolor screen.
15 - SYNCCVS: compared to rxvt-cvs 2006-01-28, no relevant changes. 1051 - SYNCCVS: compared to rxvt-cvs 2006-01-28, no relevant changes.
16 - fix version report (DA) (which was unfortunately broken). 1052 - fix version report (DA) (which was unfortunately broken).

21 - support rgba:r/g/b/a, #argb, #aarrggbb and #aaaarrrrggggbbbb 1057 - backported clean-up patches for makefiles and documentation from
22 colour "names". 1058 the debian package.
23 - do not include X11/Intrinsic.h anymore, directly use 1059 - updated doc/rxvt-unicode.spec file. It's still not maintained here,
24 Xlib/Xutil/Xresource directly. 1060 but much newer than the old one.
