5TODO: underline colour changes? 3TODO: init_secondary serves what purpose? maybe move it to earlier startup phase and re-think
4TODO: xcopyarea pass broken, fix and improve
5TODO: event mechanism that replaces on_keyboard_command with something more scalable.
6TODO: slipwheeling needs a keyboard grab to get key release events.
7TODO: overlays collide with the way the out-of-focus cursor is being drawn
8TODO: "slow" rendering mode for bidi and scripts, pango!
6TODO: read property sequence is broken with respect to utf-8 etc. 9TODO: read property sequence is broken with respect to utf-8 etc.
7TODO: +ssc -ssr seems to scroll at wrong time, scrolling up the empty sec. scr. 10TODO: slow drag selection on remote display - other things seem fast (rxvt illness, motion hints?)
8FEAT: hotkey font resizing 11TODO: investigate -pe tabbed -g 80x25 being 23 not 24 or 25 lines
9FEAT: searchable backlog 12 => when setting the constraints, the wm might (correctly)
10FEAT: meta-tagging of data by regex (my dream project) 13 resize the outer window, which might result in a smaller window overall.
11FEAT: triple-click == select full output line 14 or something like that. guys, send me a patch.
12FEAT: double-click: more intelligent (urls etc.) 15WISH: selection-color-pair instead of reverse video
13FEAT: OnTheSpot editing. 16WISH: load system-wide config file even if we don't have one
14FEAT: tabbed windows 17WISH: look into XAddConnectionWatch, does anybody need that?
18DUMB: support tex fonts

164.4 20 - fix a crash bug where urxvtd would crash when urxvtc was called
21 with wrong arguments (I wish debian maintainers in general would
22 report bugs and their proposed fixes to the original package maintaienrs
23 instead of sitting on them for good measure to see if anybody notices).
24 - check for refresh after initialising to avoid staying blank
25 till the first event arrives. or so.
26 - continuously update transparency while moving/resizing now.
27 - scrollbar code cleanups.
28 - cub1 now acts as advertised (and ignores the "wrapped" state).
29 - the 132/80 mode switch now forces a height of 24, too, and
30 resets the terminal.
31
328.9 Mon Dec 24 07:51:40 CET 2007
33 - fix the issue where urxvtd would not immediately close a window
34 when the command exited but only on the next X event.
35 - changed terminfo file not to use application keypad mode.
36 - fix the issue where making a selection in one urxvtd window
37 would not clear it visually in another.
38 - fix an issue of urxvt not getting background pixmap updates
39 and flickering after bg pixmap changes (reported by Mikachu).
40 - fix redraw bug in xterm scrollbar with -sr (reported by Mikachu).
41 - correctly provide dependencies for libev (µikachu).
42 - minor code reorganisations and cleanups.
43 - be more robust in case the urxvt-popup extension cannot be loaded.
44
458.8 Sat Dec 15 19:40:39 CET 2007
46 - option -C was aliased to all unsupported options, activating
47 options that shouldn't be compiled in, leading to interesting
48 effects.
49 - updated libev, working around a bug in linux 2.4, curing the
50 symptom of urxvt not closing its window on shell exit. also
51 fixes a problem with urxvt not refreshing.
52 - the text blink callback was called even when no blinking
53 text was visible.
54 - pre-8.4 slipwheeling behaviour has been reinstated, with
55 some minor improvements.
56 - streamlined x events processing to only flush once per
57 display and not once per terminal window.
58 - quite a bit of minor code cleanups and codesize optimisations.
59
608.7 Sun Nov 25 10:23:49 CET 2007
61 - update libev with an important bugfix that would cause crashes
62 when closing windows (when using rxvtd, and update is recommended).
63 - do not compile in the block builtin graphics with --disable-frills.
64
658.6 Fri Nov 23 14:10:57 CET 2007
66 - upgrade libev to disable kqueue on anything but netbsd as it
67 seems to be broken everywhere else w.r.t. ptys.
68 - allow for spurious event notifications, as at least epoll and
69 especially solaris ports like to lie about them (symptoms:
70 urxvt "hangs" until there is some x11 related activity).
71 - -keysym command line options are now subjected to xlib parsing.
72 - add 'xrm' option analogous to Xt one.
73
748.5a Wed Nov 21 10:16:33 CET 2007
75 - make it compile with --disable-transparency.
76
778.5 Wed Nov 21 05:19:20 CET 2007
78 - expect major portability issues in this release: please test and report.
79 - converted from the veritable io manager event loop to
80 the high performance libev (http://software.schmorp.de/pkg/libev).
81 - minor tuning to the perl selection (include single words and more quoting chars).
82 - fix memory leak in pixmap code.
83 - fix a serious bug while setting the XIM destroy callback
84 on (typical) 64 bit systems.
85 - automove-background functionality re-implemented internaly using :root op in pixmap
86 geometry string. For example: rxvt -pixmap "image.jpg;:root"
87 - do not link rxvtc against every lib on the planet anymore.
88 - parallel builds should work once more.
89
908.4 Sat Oct 27 14:02:13 CEST 2007
91 - overhaul of the transparency/pixmap code (sasha).
92 - fix possible race betwen visual bell and poweron.
93 (reported by Martin von Gagern, gentoo?).
94 - urxvt -e no longer crashes the child.
95 - fixed some minor memleaks on incorrect usage or
96 missing DISPLAY.
97 - implement xterm 1002/1003 mouse tracking modes (exg).
98 - source code organisational cleanups (exg).
99 - updated io_manager.
100
1018.3 Wed Aug 1 20:21:31 CEST 2007
102 - new option: skipScroll/-ss, enabled by default.
103 - go with the times and expect x11 library files in /usr/lib, not
104 /usr/X11R6/lib.
105 - initial transparency improvement/afterimage support
106 patch by Sasha Vasko.
107 - add urgentOnBell resource to set the urgency hint
108 (patch by Philip Paeps).
109 - do not process focus events caused by grabs
110 (patch by Mikachu).
111 - add iso14755_52 resource to disable iso14755 5.2 (exg).
112 - add binding for backspace in iso14755 5.1 to remove the last
113 digit (exg).
114 - better option handling, support more than 30 options (exg).
115 - nuke reconf script, serves no purpose anymore.
116 - fixed and documented matcher/on_user_command processing in matcher
117 extension (tpope).
118 - compile out of the box on Solaris 10 (exg).
119 - fix MappingNotify events (reported by Stephan Walter).
120 - zero-initialise mwmhints, this seems to solve all sorts of minor
121 problems.
122
1238.2 Sat Feb 17 21:35:28 CET 2007
124 - fix make depend in src/, reported by exg.
125 - fixed typo in urxvt::GET_CUSTOM, causing the result to be wrong.
126 (patch by Sergey Vlasov).
127 - unbundled iom perl interface somewhat.
128 - scrollbar-xterm now uses the selected scrollColor instead of fg
129 (found by Aiviru).
130 - disabled linux kernel bug workaround again: disabling it gives
131 a 50% speed hit on affected machines, while enabling it gives
132 a similar speed hit to screen, which is likely the more common
133 case to work around for :/
134 - urxvt::rend2mask perl function, and utilization of it by matcher
135 (patch by Moshe Kamensky).
136 - use perl:matcher on a keysym to open most recently displayed URL.
137 - with matcher, when multiple patterns match, last wins, not first.
138 - fix make and make install with srcdir != builddir (exg).
139 - updated bundled libptytty to fix a bug where the tty would be kept
140 open (see the libptytty ChangeLog for details).
141 - delay setting the IUTF8 flag to after the tty settings have been
142 set so its value does not get lost (reported and analysed by Andrei
143 Paskevich).
144 - rip out support for obsolete sgtty.h interface.
145 - rip out support for non-POSIX termios variants.
146 - update libptytty.
147 - update iom.C, make it call ptytty::sanitise_stdfd on init.
148 - when !XFT, change rounding of colours to use a less correct formula to
149 meet user expectancies (#aaa becomes #a000a000a000 not #9f9f9f9f9f9f).
150 - change the starting offset of the pixmap set with backgroundPixmap
151 from (50,50) to (0,0) (exg).
152 - fix a typo in button_release, now meta-button2 request the value of
153 the Clipboard selection as it should (patch by Serge Koksharov).
154 - fix a bug in drawing a cell with a nonspacing char when using an xft
155 font with inheritPixmap and tintColor (exg).
156
1578.1 Thu Dec 7 22:27:25 CET 2006
158 - ｹﾘｽﾏｽﾌ゚ﾚｾ゙ﾝﾄ - zomg!!1, it's too early!!!
159 - fix the assumption that chars < 256 are single-width. Now
160 only assume this for codepoints 32 to 126 (reported by Dai.H.).
161 - $term->strwidth returned wide chars as width 1, because some jerk
162 confused min and max. Fixing this also fixes xim-onthespot.
163 Reported by Takano Akio.
164 - secondaryScroll is now enabled by default (as per the manpage),
165 reported by exg.
166 - correct the description of [percent]color rgba format in the manpage.
167 - incorporated macosx-clipboard extension by Samuel Ljungkvist.
168 - ignore (some) useless focus events (reported by mmc).
169 - updated compose table to unicode 5.0.0.
170
1718.0 Thu Nov 2 18:35:19 CET 2006
172 - combining characters cleared the area instead of creating an overlay,
173 thus losing the ability to draw combining characters properly in most
174 circumstances (reported by exg).
175 - specified fonts were incorrectly morphed to bold/italic according to the
176 basefont, even if explicitly specified (tracked down by tpope).
177 - fixed urxvt::strwidth to calculate width in the same way as screen.C.
178 - fix a crash caused by passing negative widths to overlay functions.
179 - added 'matcher' extension by tpope, replacing the mark-urls extension.
180 - improve url regex to match anything www.* (tpope).
181 - fixed bug with outline cursor color being wrong after xft fonts.
182 - update to libptytty-1.0.
183 - give proper diagnostic when RXVT_SOCKET is too long instead of
184 corrupting the stack (patch by exg).
185 - display current terminal locale in option menu.
186 - urxvtd no longer crashes when the client sends an inaccessible
187 working directory (reported by Roland Baer, possibly fixes gentoo
188 bug #143985).
189 - fixed many minor issues reported by Roland Baer.
190 - Leonid Khramov spotted a minor glitch in rxvtfont.C that
191 should not have any consequences, but was buggy nonetheless.
192 - manpage fix by exg.
193
1947.9 Mon Aug 7 18:16:07 CEST 2006
195 - fix the crashing bug people encountered with 7.8 + urxvtd + perl
196 + transparency. Ought to fix debian bug #380348.
197 - fix urxvtc.1.pod: it actually claimed -pty-fd would not work. But
198 it does! :->
199 - rxvt_fatal() in case the locale string is too long for our static buffer.
200 - fixed many, many, typos in the manpages (patch supplied by ves).
201
2027.8 Mon Jul 17 21:00:46 CEST 2006
203 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: this version will always read ~/.Xdefaults,
204 earlier versions only read it if display-resources (usually from
205 .Xresources) are not set. This avoids the #1 FAQ ("why isn't my
206 resource used") and seems to be logical behaviour, too. .Xdefaults
207 resources have a lower priority than display-specific resources.
208 - add "kuake" perl extension that does a similar thing to the kuake
209 terminal emulator (see man urxtvperl).
210 - use less "correct" color scaling that is compatible with libX11 and
211 Xft (avoids off-by-one colors resulting in striped backgrounds).
212 - the "depth" resource is now respected.
213 - preset the searchable-scrollback pattern with "(?i)" to default search
214 to case-insensitivity. Will automatically be cleared when typing an
215 uppercase character.
216 - add FORCE_UNBUFFERED_XFT define to features.h.
217 - re-enabled highlightcolor support with --enable-frills, based on
218 a patch by Martin Stubenschrott.
219 - double-buffered xft drawing did suffer from pixel offset issues
220 when pixmap transparency was enabled.
221 - strategically add # to the url-match regexes, as we really want to
222 match common URIs not common URLs. Reported by Aaron Griffin.
223 - moved on_osc_seq to on_osc_seq_perl and added a more
224 generic osc_seq.
225 - fix a bug causing double callback invocations when perl hooks
226 were invoked recursively.
227 - the automove-background extension now properly works when the
228 pixmap gets reset with an osc sequence (sqweek).
229 - selection-pastebin did not work properly with non-latin1-characters.
230 - apply colorUL only when the text colour is the default fg
231 (patch by Wu Fengguang).
232 - removed rxvtlib.h from the tarball, it had no reason to be there
233 (spotted by Decklin Foster).
234 - fix compiling with TRANSPARENT but !XPM_BACKGROUND, as reported
235 by omatunto_.
236 - slap in a using namespace std, might help on platforms that don't
237 follow C++ closely enough.
238 - fix mailto url regex, spotted within milliseconds by Jost Krieger.
239 - applied fade_color_update_func.patch by WU Fengguang.
240 - fix a bug where (due to an optimisation in av_delete), hiding the
241 bottom-most overlay would hide two overlays.
242
2437.7 Tue Feb 21 12:32:49 CET 2006
244 - use double-buffered drawing (xft fonts only). On many driver/hardware
245 combination this actually increases xft drawing speed, at the expense
246 of more network bandwidth and slight nausea on the side of the author.
247 - readline perl extension now requires shift-click instead of a normal
248 click, and eats the click.
249 - tabbed perl extension now supports -e.
250 - disabled graphics-exposures on the main drawing GC, report any
251 refresh bugs please.
252 - improve property handling for -pe tabbed: avoid unnecessary property
253 changes (for kde's benefit) at the expense of extra round-trips,
254 improve size hint setting.
255 - modified XIM according to a patch sent by Takano Akio that sets
256 the preedit rectangle for OverTheSpot, which helps some input methods
257 to correctly position their preedit window.
258 - un-optimise the line clearing on newly scrolled-in lines a bit: the
259 former reasoning was that any fg colour on default bg looks the same
260 in empty spaces, but thats not true when reversing (e.g. selection),
261 so also check for matching fg colours. This fixes the problem where
262 selecting newly scrolled-in lines would exhibit wrong colours.
263 - fix a bug in the perl interface causing focus in events to generate
264 focus out perl events, causing bad focus effects with -pe tabbed.
265 - fix a race resulting in a crash on exiting.
266 - fix a with --disable-xft that caused xfreecolors to be called on
267 colors never allocated, resulting in aborts (reported by Paco-Paco).
268 - resources on non-initial screens weren't refetched correctly
269 (reported by Paco-Paco).
270 - fix a bug in xcopyarea pass and _disable_ it, as it seems not to be
271 working in either rxvt-unicode nor in the original rxvt.
272 - removed undocumented -exec alias for the -e option.
273
2747.6 Fri Feb 10 08:52:36 CET 2006
275 - changed interpretation of [alpha] colour prefix.
276 - +option now really sets the option to default, instead of using the
277 resource value.
278 - options that require an argument now really _require_ an argument.
279 - the tabbed extension now forwards focus and keys events to th
280 relevant tab window.
281 - tab colours are now configurable and have sensible defaults
282 (initial patch by hednod).
283 - option menu is extendable, readline, selection and
284 selection-autotransform can now be disabled/enabled at runtime.
285 - forcing a configure event to tabbed subwindows with -pe tabbed, for
286 the benefit of automove-background.
287 - the automove-background extension added a wrong constant offset.
288 - force refresh of XA_RESOURCE_STRING on virtual reconnect.
289 - return exit status 2 in urxvtc when urxvtd couldn't be contacted.
290 - the linux yield hack is back, now using usleep, and enabled only on
291 __linux__.
292 - further round trip eliminations in the !XFT case by remembering
293 the colour components.
294 - plain scrollbar works better with -sr.
295 - fixed half-shadow scrollbar look.
296 - more colour rtt optimisations.
297 - properly(?) free colours on window close.
298 - reorganised the FAQ into multiple sections.
299 - add ISO646.1991-IRV to the list of supported codesets.
300 - minor libptytty update.
301
3027.5 Tue Jan 31 15:15:43 CET 2006
303 - further improvements to the careful mode detection, and font width
304 detection:
305 - fully double-wide fonts will now be correctly treated,
306 - overlap detection was improved.
307 - detect totally broken fonts (usually synthesized by xft).
308 - careful mode forced refresh sometimes clashed with blinking,
309 causing unnecessary screen redraws.
310 - better handling of XFT combining characters.
311 - enable antialiasing for some replacement fonts, as they
312 might get used for other encodings which really need it, later.
313 - remove spacing=100 from all default fonts, as this creates totally
314 weird spacing (5 times normal) with xft.
315 - removed iso10646 fallback, as xorgs iso10646 encoded fonts are mostly
316 broken.
317 - removed gnu unifont fallback, all combining characters are broken.
318 - replace named colours by xorg's rgb.txt equivalents, to
319 reduce round trip time on startup, and short-cut allocation
320 of rgb:rr/gg/bb for xft.
321 - short-cut allocation of rgb values in the xlib case
322 (patch by Paco-Paco).
323 - overhauled color management: smaller codesize, alpha support.
324 - support "rgba:rrrr/gggg/bbbb/aaaa" color specifications and
325 an "[alpha]" prefix.
326 - try to work around Xft and Xrender forcing everything to be 100%
327 transparent. Long Live Xft!
328 - do not include X11/Intrinsic.h anymore, directly use
329 Xlib/Xutil/Xresource directly.
330 - try to find a nearest matching color when color allocation fails
331 on a pseudocolor screen.
332 - SYNCCVS: compared to rxvt-cvs 2006-01-28, no relevant changes.
333 - fix version report (DA) (which was unfortunately broken).
334 - changed version number report again, now to emulate xterm closer.
335 - added the OSC sequence 702 to detect the urxvt version number.
336 - small configure updates.
337 - further RTT optimisations.
338 - backported clean-up patches for makefiles and documentation from
339 the debian package.
340 - updated doc/rxvt-unicode.spec file. It's still not maintained here,
341 but much newer than the old one.
342
3437.4 Sat Jan 28 15:26:27 CET 2006
344 - screen background wasn't always erased properly when scrolling,
345 - re-enabled clearing optimisation disabled in 7.4pre.
346 - small configure updates for libptytty.
347 - fixed version options: line output.
348 - removed stoopid debugging message left in the code.
349
3507.3 Wed Jan 25 22:47:35 CET 2006
351 - don't let iso14755 or mouse reporting get into the way of perl
352 (could lead to global grabs never being cleared).
353 - experimental OnTheSpot editing support (-pe xim-onthespot).
354 - moved Shift-Button2 paste combination to Meta-Button2.
355 - the cutchars resource will now be respected and used by the
356 selection extension.
357 - added the "remote-clipboard" extension which just runs external
358 commands to fetch and store the selection data.
359 - added -depth switch that tries to get a different visual depth
360 than the default (replaces the old PREFER_24_BIT logic).
361 - removed (unused) arabic presentation form composing sequences.
362 - be more strict when deciding that a core font glyph is too wide and
363 needs the careful rendering mode.
364 - allow more leeway for italic fonts when deciding that a character is
365 too wide and needs careful mode.
366 - redraw even more characters around characters using careful mode.
367 - made selection-pastebin fully asynchronous.
368 - reduced number of server turnarounds at startup by allocating
369 atoms only once per display.
370 - renamed on_keyboard_command to on_user_command.
371 - changed version sos (ESC [ > c) response to be more compatible with
372 xterm.
373
3747.2 Sun Jan 22 21:58:16 CET 2006
375 - bugfix: urxvt (not urxvtd) did not correctly handle multiple
376 environments necessary, which resulted in segfaults within
377 getenv (reproducable: urxvt -fn 9x15, open a menu once,
378 ctrl-shift-672c).
379 - bugfix: the selection speedup in in 7.1 unfortunately caused
380 non-ascii characters to enlarge/move the selection.
381 - bugfix: resizing sometimes leaked lines from the secondary to
382 the primary screen.
383 - bugfix: reducing window size while large amounts of text were output
384 could lead to an assertion failure.
385 - added "tabbed" extension that provides a crude tabbed terminal.
386 - added "readline" extension that allows cursor positioning
387 via mouse clicks.
388 - now it is possible to insert the value of the CLIPBOARD selection
389 with shift - mouse button 2.
390 - fixed the automove-background extension to ignore coordinates
391 in non-synthetic events.
392 - created a separate libpty for portable and secure
393 pty/tty/utmp/wtmp/lastlog handling, and include it in rxvt-unicode.
394 - the non-terminfo visual bell now works asynchronously, so
395 continuous ASCI BELs in one terminal do no longer monopolise the
396 whole urxvt[d] process.
397 - support some *BSD makes (for the time being, gnu make is a safe bet).
398 - work around bugs in FreeBSD's gcc.
399 - implemented some *BSD fixes in configure.
400 - removed support for obsolete offix dnd protocol.
401
4027.1 Thu Jan 19 20:25:34 CET 2006
403 - setuid/setgid operation is now _encouraged_: security has been
404 improved by moving privileged operations into a separate process
405 and permanently dropping privileges within the terminal. This
406 makes it possible to remove security checks from the perl code
407 and gives a much safer feeling when urxvt needs to run with
408 special privileges.
409 - perl taint checking disabled, as urxvt no longer runs setuid/setgid
410 itself.
411 - new perl extension automove-background that can be used to get
412 the same effect as pseudo-transparency with any pixmap.
413 - new perl extension example: perl/selection-pastebin, can be used to
414 e.g. upload the selection to a webserver and generate a url, or
415 similar stuff.
416 - use the scrollback buffer even when the scroll region doesn't
417 span the whole screen, as long as it starts at row 0. Helps
418 for programs displaying a status line at the bottom.
419 - selection popup now shows selection in dec/hex/oct.
420 - perl/selection: matching on unicode characters in the selection
421 code was O(n²), which equals infinity in some degenerate cases
422 :-> Matching is now done on UTF-8, which makes it almost instant.
423 - perl/selection, perl/selection-autotransform: regexes are now
424 being interpreted in the locale urxvt was started.
425 - implemented override-redirect option and enabled it on menus,
426 as kwin puts our windows behind the terminal (what a shoddy wm).
427 - fixed struct utmp check in configure for OpenBSD.
428 - complete overhaul of the pty/utmp management stuff and configure
429 (Emanuele Giaquinta).
430 - add tsl/fsl and related capabilities to the terminfo description,
431 to set the window title.
432 - swap the environment in some more cases. This hopefully fixes
433 some segfaults that might be caused by xft asking for env variables
434 at the wrong time.
435 - removed src/strings.C and src/menubar.C. No menubar support
436 anymore.
437 - removed all traces of SMOOTH_REFRESH.
438 - nuked QNX support.
439 - made some fixes to xpm offset and scaling code.
440 - perl-overlays and refresh hooks were not applied in correct order.
441 - changed coordinate-system of view_start/nsaved to be top to bottom.
442 - iom extended to support listening for child exits.
443
4447.0 Fri Jan 13 14:02:18 CET 2006
445 - added sections for DISTRIBUTION MAINTAINERS and about
446 SETUID/SETGID to the FAQ.
447 - selection, searchable-scrollback, selection-popup and
448 option-popup extensions enabled by default.
449 - increased xft drawing speed for problematic fonts. The effect
450 will likely be small as 99% of the xft slowness is server-related.
451 - perl: much increased functionality, better overlays, popup support
452 and much much more.
453 - perl: urxvt::line now can set via ->t and ->r.
454 - perl: changed interpretation of --perl-ext-common and -pe.
455 - perl: finally implemented --perl-eval.
456 - perl: non-blocking anyevent support.
457 - perl: run tainted and ignore perl-eval/perl-lib if started
458 setuid/setgid.
459 - free the resource database: this plugs a massive memory leak. As a
460 side effect, it also gets rid of XGetDefault calls.
461 - free one of the cursors, fixes a small memory leak.
462 - built-in (as opposed to terminfos) visual bell was broken/too fast.
463 - applied minor cleanups by Ladislav Michnovic.
464 - applied pty handling cleanups and improvements (Emanuele Giaquinta).
465 - mark-urls launch-on-click by jepler.
466 - removed "small" resource parsing function, as it wasn't really
467 compatible, and not really small either.
468 - removed PATH_ENV and PATH file search support.
469 - removed support for locale-specific app-defaults file.
470 - fixed a bug where out-of-bounds colour sequences could lead
471 to crashes.
472 - limit colour changing to the standard 88 palette instead of all
473 colours.
474 - XTerm_Color01 sequence returned wrong results in query mode.
475 - iom.C now checks against destructed io_manager when unregistering.
476
4776.3 Wed Jan 4 22:37:10 CET 2006
478 - SECURITY FIX: on systems using openpty, permissions were
479 not correctly updated on the tty device and were left as
480 world-readable and world-writable (likely in original rxvt,
481 too), and were not restored properly. Affected are only
482 systems where non-unix ptys were used (such as most BSDs, not
483 GNU/Linux). (found, patched and debugged by Ryan Beasley).
484 - meta8 support was forcefully enabled in most configurations.
485 restored configurability of this (useless) feature (reported
486 by Mikachu).
487 - optionally embed a perl interpreter, which can be used for more
488 intelligent/customized selection support, visual feedback,
489 menus, tabs etc. See the the urxvtperl manpage, the -pe option,
490 perl*-resources and keysym resources. Not everything is there yet.
491 - try to be more clever about differing font sizes and their ascent.
492 Not guarenteed to work, but works better in most cases now.
493 - fix directory permissions on install.
494 - implemented option to disable built-in line drawing characters
495 and fall back to the font ones (patch by Martin Pohlack).
496 - disabled sched_yield support: the linux version is just too useless
497 (it schedules nice'd processes before the own one for extended
498 periods). Too bad, it could reduce system time by a factor of 5 here.
499
5006.2 Mon Jan 2 16:03:01 CET 2006
501 - implemented intensityStyles option which enables/disables bold/blink
502 selecting high intensity foreground/background colours, suggested by
503 Chuck Blake.
504 - move iso14755 character feedback box out of the way if it would
505 obscure the mouse cursor position.
506 - replaced callback.h by a fixed version from gvpe that correctly
507 returns the callback result (affects new -pty-fd semantics in urxvtc
508 on a few architectures). Reported by darix.
509 - include one trailing space in rectangular selections to indicate
510 the inserted newline (yeah, weird, but visually more pleasing).
511 - try to use sched_yield to (drastically) improve terminal data
512 transfer efficiency.
513 - further minor cleanups.
514
5156.1 Tue Dec 27 13:23:40 CET 2005
516 - update iso8859-7 table (euro and drachma round-trip et al.).
517 - fix a crash when the selection scrolls out of the scrollback
518 while the user still drags.
519 - selections that were partially scrolled out of the window were
520 not drawn correctly.
521 - lines newly scrolled in were not initialized properly, leading
522 to extremely long lines and (hopefully) some segfaults.
523 - iso14755 overlay position was wrong.
524 - iso14755 overlay now displays rendition info, too.
525 - use unicode white space class instead of hardcoded values for
526 stripping whitespace.
527 - do whitespace stripping on rectangular selections.
528 - slight cleanups in src/features.h.
529
5306.0 Sat Dec 24 13:58:56 CET 2005
531 - make it compile without SMART_RESIZE again.
532 - enable slow link support by default.
533 - fix relative cursor-positioning not respecting scrolling regions
534 (also a bug in original rxvt).
535 - initialize termios structure to zero when fetching it fails
536 (see http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=84647 for a
537 partial patch).
538 - bump max columns/rows to 10000 each.
539 - bump max savelines to 10000000.
540 - -pty-fd now passes the urxvtc fd to the urxvtd process.
541 - avoid linking against -lnsl/-lsocket/-lxpg4 unless neccessary.
542 - major code cleanup (still not complete, though).
543 - implement -hold option.
544 - _major_ rewrite of internal buffer handling:
545 - re-flow on resize, lines get wrapped instead of winged.
546 - circular line buffer (substantially speeds up scrolling).
547 - slightly less code + data memory usage per terminal.
548 - slight overall speed improvements.
549 - considerably improved code clarity.
550 - partial-screen scrolls no longer end up in the scrollback
551 buffer.
552
5535.9 Sat Dec 17 21:53:17 CET 2005
554 - fix a bug in the menu code of unknown impact, found by darix.
555 - clean up signal handling to be global, not per terminal
556 (matters only for rxvtd).
557 - fix small typoe in rxvt.1 (found by Mike Fabian).
558 - don't crash when broken xft/fontconfig/freetype versions return
559 bogus data, ignore the xft font instead (experienced on suse).
560
5615.8 Tue Oct 25 22:21:45 CEST 2005
562 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: many configure options are now on by default.
563 If you want the old behaviour, try:
564 configure --disable-everything <your enable options>
565 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: -fade changed it's meaning to comply with
566 the documentation and common sense: when upgrading, replace your
567 percentage by 100-percentage.
568 - integrated "fade to specific colour" patch by Martin Parm.
569 - slow down the internal visual bell (delay by 20ms) and update
570 the terminfo flash code to use the same delay. This is
571 synchronous, so many bells might inhibit screen updates in other
572 windows.
573 - text with background==foreground colour gets displayed with default
574 bg/fg now when in reverse video, so it can be seen when selecting.
575 - allow koi8r* as x11 encoding name for koi8r (Nikita Danilov).
576 - removed undocumented inheritPixmapforce option.
577 - replaced INSTALL file.
578
5795.7 Wed Jul 13 04:46:33 CEST 2005
580 - implement some useful (hopefully) options for rxvtd.
581 - separate and improved rxvtc(1) and rxvtd(1) manpages.
582 - fix a bug that caused segfaults on startup on systems that do
583 not support local unix connections, e.g cygwin. (btw, I didn't
584 even know about the -rootless and -multiwindow Cygwin/X modes).
585 - large amounts of text without control sequences or newlines
586 could almost freeze output. This has been fixed by adding extra
587 refreshes in these cases (also a problem in original rxvt).
588
5895.6 Sun Jun 26 22:11:13 CEST 2005
590 - R_SB_RXVT bitset value was 0, so rxvt scrollbar was initialised
591 every time resulting in display errors (original rxvt also affected).
592 Reported by Jasmin Buchert.
593 - font names are now considered to be utf-8 encoded (xft apperently
594 uses this convention. X Core fonts might not, but it should be rare).
595 Affects display in iso14755 box.
596 - rewrote the low-level xft drawing function ("xft backend" for the
597 hipper parts of the world) to hopefully cope better with proportional
598 chars mixed with fixed-width ones.
599 - rxvt is now much more careful (read: slower) with potentially
600 overlapping xft characters. It usually overshoots and redraws
601 more than required, but that's better than undershooting and
602 cutting pieces off of characters.
603 - rxvt is now more restrictive in what font heights it accepts for
604 fonts that will likely overshoot or undershoot lines.
605 - fix a cosmetic problem with the unfocused cursor on a wide character
606 at the end of the line (reported by Mikachu).
607 - wide characters not fitting into the end of the line will be
608 output in the next line (reported by Mikachu).
609 - added doc/solaris9.patch by Ewgenij Starostin.
610
6115.5 Sat Apr 23 22:31:36 CEST 2005
612 - re-enabled modifer state matching as in 5.3, but implement
613 a new builtin: keysym style that simply reverts to the built-in
614 meaning of the given key.
615 - use scrollcolor for next scrollbar instead of hardcoded antiquewhite
616 (patch by Martin Edlman).
617
6185.4 Mon Apr 18 00:33:31 CEST 2005
619 - match modifier state exactly in custom keyboard code.
620 this is necessary because it has no knowledge about
621 built-in mappings and so will overwrite them. the priority-code
622 will be re-enabled when this has changed, so watch out.
623 - cursor blinking now depends on frills.
624 - underline cursor mode (frills, -uc).
625 - implement special value (*g*) for pointerBlankDelay
626 to disable it.
627
6285.3 Sun Mar 13 00:20:44 CET 2005
629 - fix a bug that allowed to overflow a buffer via a long
630 escape sequence, which is probably exploitable (fix by
631 Rob Holland / Yoann Vandoorselaere / Gentoo Audit Team).
632 - Custom key mappings no longer confuse mouse buttons
633 with modifiers.
634 - use XmbSetWMProperties instead of XSetWMProperties.
635 - properly update WM_LOCALE.
636 - implement _NET_WM_PING protocol.
637 - implemented escape sequences to move the scrollback buffer view
638 and clear the scrollback buffer.
639
6405.2 Sun Feb 20 01:48:59 CET 2005
641 - new option -pty-fd that makes the terminal a slave
642 that uses an existing pty for I/O instead of starting
643 a command.
644 - implement enough of XEMBED to allow for correct focus.
645 - added doc/embed-tk, an embedding example in Perl/Tk,
646 and doc/rxvt-tabbed, a primitive tabbed shell implemented
647 in Perl/Gtk2.
648 - fix assertion failure ("crash") on mousewheel-scrolling
649 when the terminal height is small, by removing the assert.
650 (reported by Mikael Magnusson).
651 - SYNCCVS. backported bugfixes done to rxvt
652 (sourceforge bugs #1028739, #1028732), except for
653 pts/%s fix as it seems to collide with freebsd,
654 and sourceforge bug #954654, which is not neccessary.
655 - change terminfo file to not clobber G1 when using
656 line-drawing characters, as this seems to mess
657 with EUC-JP (it will clobber G0, but G0 practically
658 needs to be US-ASCII all the time).
659 - toggle default application keypad/cursor mode to help
660 some apps who fail to set the correct mode.
661 - check for WM_PROTOCOLS type in ClientMessage as to
662 not destroy the window for other types of messages.
663 - remove shared library (or any library) support - it is
664 of no use currently (and -embed is a better way to embed
665 rxvt-unicode).
666 - get rid of the intpro files.
667
6685.1 Tue Feb 15 17:13:27 CET 2005
669 - fix a bug when parsing fontnames and another one
670 for empty keymaps which could result in crashes
671 (Kuang-che Wu).
672 - new option: -embed (frills). somebody could write a simple
673 tk script to make a tab'able terminal now...
674 - only warn on X errors and _try_ to continue (frills).
675 - add COPYING back, which got lost somehow.
676 - after deciding that LSM is dead, remove all traces of it,
677 along with other, similar, cleanups.
678 - _try_ to react sensibly to some non-monotonic time changes.
679 - don't crash in urxvtc when getcwd fails (reported by Paco-Paco).
680 - tweak font searching algorithm a bit to be faster and more
681 compatible with older rxvt-unicode versions when multiple fonts
682 match (reported by Paco-Paco).
683 - urxvtd tries to stay in "/" whenever possible.
684
6855.0 Fri Feb 11 18:31:48 CET 2005
686 - document a race-free hack to start urxvtd.
687 - document all(?) environment variables used and set by rxvt.
688 - bring xgetdefault-style resource file ordering more in line with
689 Xt, and document it in rxvt(1).
690 - correctly use screen-dependent resources when --enable-xgetdefault,
691 and also fix some memory bugs (thanks to Thierry Reding for
692 his patience and time in tracking this down).
693 - bring own resource parsing more in line with X resource parsing,
694 most notably, don't remove double quotes.
695 - compile fix for freebsd (no ut_id) (Thierry Thomas).
696 - clean up utmp and pty on X I/O errors and signals (idea
697 by Joël Riou).
698 - "un"document -xrm, it never really worked, was only
699 available with --enable-xgetdefault, is not necessary
700 and is surprisingly hard to implement.
701 - shaved off some code segment size.
702 - various code cleanups.
703 - more keysym-mapping fixes.
704
7054.9 Thu Feb 3 09:52:03 CET 2005
706 - nuke out utmp entries completely. Should be fixed in
707 original rxvt, too. (reported by James Michael Fultz).
708 - resizes wil now correctly refresh the displayed text when
709 -pixmap is active.
710 - new option/resource imFont.
711 - document --tripleclickwords/-tcw.
712 - select logical instead of physical lines when doing a triple-click.
713 - reordered help listing to group similar options together.
714 - handle SIGINT the same way as SIGTERM (reported by Joël Riou).
715 - fix a bug introduced while applying the keyboard patch
716 (WU Fengguang).
717 - document all window-op sequences (rxvt.7.) and more keysym
718 examples (rxvt.1).
719 - removed src/test completely.
720 - renamed keysym 'proto:'-prefix to 'command:'.
721
7224.8 Tue Jan 18 02:23:57 CET 2005
723 - added a patch by WU Fengguang that makes the keyboard
724 highly configurable (e.g. locale changes, custom escape
725 sequences, and more). See keysym resource in rxvt(1).
726 - remove default key sequence for unknown keys again, as this
727 can be achieved by customizing the keyboard now.
728 - fix some freeing problems when destroying the rxvt_display,
729 resulting in segfaults.
730 - don't crash when the saved cursor position doesn't fit on the
731 screen (wrong assert in original rxvt, reported by ikaro).
732 - fix signed/unsigned bugs on wc<->mb conversions.
733 - reset slipwheel scrolling speed when reaching the top or bottom
734 (Mikael Magnusson).
735 - for core fonts, use ascent + descent when a font is loaded,
736 and PIXEL_SIZE when not. when loading a font, iterate until a
737 font has been found that _really_ fits the height (reported and
738 tested by Olivier Wittenberg).
739 - set IUTF8 input flag, when defined (linux-2.6.5+).
740 - only define _XOPEN_SOURCE on solaris.
741 - autogenerate src/* dependency list.
742 - fixed linespace option, which ought to work now (and is dependent
743 on frills, not on it's own configure option).
744 - include pty.h, if available (cygwin).
745 - removed W11 directory from dist, it wasn't used anyway.
746 - initialize the locale much earlier.
747 - fixed two tiny per-instance memory leaks.
748
7494.7 Wed Dec 29 20:54:24 CET 2004
750 - fix a bug in the event logic that could cause the temrinal to be
751 black on initial startup.
752 - do NOT call XCloseIM, ever. This causes way to many crashes due to
753 races in the protocol and within Xlib.
754 - map iso-left-tab to the same sequence as shift-tab.
755 - generate a unique escape sequence for many unknown keys, such as
756 additional multimedia keys.
757 - mask out high (non-unicode) bits on wide characters, to cope with
758 implementations that store tag info in the high bits.
759
7604.6 Thu Dec 16 07:54:23 CET 2004
761 - try very hard not to exhaust the kernel tty buffers, even
762 if it slows down large pastes and is only cosmetic.
763 - streamline atom and xft color allocation to reduce startup
764 time (12.8s -> 7.8s on my dsl). Still, doing it with only 2-3
765 turnarounds would be much faster, but impossible to implement(?).
766 - implement underlineColor resource when ENABLE_FRILLS.
767 - iom left it's signal pipe handle open in the child
768 process. Fortunately not security-relevant as the pipe data gets
769 ignored.
770 - do not use XSETROOTPMAP_ID anymore, support ESETROOT_PMAP_ID
771 instead.
772 - fix a crash in rxvtd when the last window was being closed
773 (reported by hednod).
774 - fix an unlikely memory leak.
775 - fix atom name enumeration.
776
7774.5 Mon Dec 13 07:47:16 CET 2004
778 - fix an extremely nasty bug in utf8-conversion. upgrade is advised.
779 - completely re-wrote selection pasting. This should fix garbled
780 incomplete characters at 32k boundaries and too-short INCR
781 selections, and more. Increases memory requirements considerably
782 for large selections, but that seems unavoidable.
783
7844.4 Sun Dec 12 22:10:06 CET 2004
