5TODO: configurable underline line colour. 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.

208.6 Fri Nov 23 14:10:57 CET 2007
21 - upgrade libev to disable kqueue on anything but netbsd as it
22 seems to be broken everywhere else w.r.t. ptys.
23 - allow for spurious event notifications, as at least epoll and
24 especially solaris ports like to lie about them (symptoms:
25 urxvt "hangs" until there is some x11 related activity).
26 - -keysym command line options are now subjected to xlib parsing.
27 - add 'xrm' option analogous to Xt one.
28
298.5a Wed Nov 21 10:16:33 CET 2007
30 - make it compile with --disable-transparency.
31
328.5 Wed Nov 21 05:19:20 CET 2007
33 - expect major portability issues in this release: please test and report.
34 - converted from the veritable io manager event loop to
35 the high performance libev (http://software.schmorp.de/pkg/libev).
36 - minor tuning to the perl selection (include single words and more quoting chars).
37 - fix memory leak in pixmap code.
38 - fix a serious bug while setting the XIM destroy callback
39 on (typical) 64 bit systems.
40 - automove-background functionality re-implemented internaly using :root op in pixmap
41 geometry string. For example: rxvt -pixmap "image.jpg;:root"
42 - do not link rxvtc against every lib on the planet anymore.
43 - parallel builds should work once more.
44
458.4 Sat Oct 27 14:02:13 CEST 2007
46 - overhaul of the transparency/pixmap code (sasha).
47 - fix possible race betwen visual bell and poweron.
48 (reported by Martin von Gagern, gentoo?).
49 - urxvt -e no longer crashes the child.
50 - fixed some minor memleaks on incorrect usage or
51 missing DISPLAY.
52 - implement xterm 1002/1003 mouse tracking modes (exg).
53 - source code organisational cleanups (exg).
54 - updated io_manager.
55
568.3 Wed Aug 1 20:21:31 CEST 2007
57 - new option: skipScroll/-ss, enabled by default.
58 - go with the times and expect x11 library files in /usr/lib, not
59 /usr/X11R6/lib.
60 - initial transparency improvement/afterimage support
61 patch by Sasha Vasko.
62 - add urgentOnBell resource to set the urgency hint
63 (patch by Philip Paeps).
64 - do not process focus events caused by grabs
65 (patch by Mikachu).
66 - add iso14755_52 resource to disable iso14755 5.2 (exg).
67 - add binding for backspace in iso14755 5.1 to remove the last
68 digit (exg).
69 - better option handling, support more than 30 options (exg).
70 - nuke reconf script, serves no purpose anymore.
71 - fixed and documented matcher/on_user_command processing in matcher
72 extension (tpope).
73 - compile out of the box on Solaris 10 (exg).
74 - fix MappingNotify events (reported by Stephan Walter).
75 - zero-initialise mwmhints, this seems to solve all sorts of minor
76 problems.
77
788.2 Sat Feb 17 21:35:28 CET 2007
79 - fix make depend in src/, reported by exg.
80 - fixed typo in urxvt::GET_CUSTOM, causing the result to be wrong.
81 (patch by Sergey Vlasov).
82 - unbundled iom perl interface somewhat.
83 - scrollbar-xterm now uses the selected scrollColor instead of fg
84 (found by Aiviru).
85 - disabled linux kernel bug workaround again: disabling it gives
86 a 50% speed hit on affected machines, while enabling it gives
87 a similar speed hit to screen, which is likely the more common
88 case to work around for :/
89 - urxvt::rend2mask perl function, and utilization of it by matcher
90 (patch by Moshe Kamensky).
91 - use perl:matcher on a keysym to open most recently displayed URL.
92 - with matcher, when multiple patterns match, last wins, not first.
93 - fix make and make install with srcdir != builddir (exg).
94 - updated bundled libptytty to fix a bug where the tty would be kept
95 open (see the libptytty ChangeLog for details).
96 - delay setting the IUTF8 flag to after the tty settings have been
97 set so its value does not get lost (reported and analysed by Andrei
98 Paskevich).
99 - rip out support for obsolete sgtty.h interface.
100 - rip out support for non-POSIX termios variants.
101 - update libptytty.
102 - update iom.C, make it call ptytty::sanitise_stdfd on init.
103 - when !XFT, change rounding of colours to use a less correct formula to
104 meet user expectancies (#aaa becomes #a000a000a000 not #9f9f9f9f9f9f).
105 - change the starting offset of the pixmap set with backgroundPixmap
106 from (50,50) to (0,0) (exg).
107 - fix a typo in button_release, now meta-button2 request the value of
108 the Clipboard selection as it should (patch by Serge Koksharov).
109 - fix a bug in drawing a cell with a nonspacing char when using an xft
110 font with inheritPixmap and tintColor (exg).
111
1128.1 Thu Dec 7 22:27:25 CET 2006
113 - ケリスマスプレゼント - zomg!!1, it's too early!!!
114 - fix the assumption that chars < 256 are single-width. Now
115 only assume this for codepoints 32 to 126 (reported by Dai.H.).
116 - $term->strwidth returned wide chars as width 1, because some jerk
117 confused min and max. Fixing this also fixes xim-onthespot.
118 Reported by Takano Akio.
119 - secondaryScroll is now enabled by default (as per the manpage),
120 reported by exg.
121 - correct the description of [percent]color rgba format in the manpage.
122 - incorporated macosx-clipboard extension by Samuel Ljungkvist.
123 - ignore (some) useless focus events (reported by mmc).
124 - updated compose table to unicode 5.0.0.
125
1268.0 Thu Nov 2 18:35:19 CET 2006
127 - combining characters cleared the area instead of creating an overlay,
128 thus losing the ability to draw combining characters properly in most
129 circumstances (reported by exg).
130 - specified fonts were incorrectly morphed to bold/italic according to the
131 basefont, even if explicitly specified (tracked down by tpope).
132 - fixed urxvt::strwidth to calculate width in the same way as screen.C.
133 - fix a crash caused by passing negative widths to overlay functions.
134 - added 'matcher' extension by tpope, replacing the mark-urls extension.
135 - improve url regex to match anything www.* (tpope).
136 - fixed bug with outline cursor color being wrong after xft fonts.
137 - update to libptytty-1.0.
138 - give proper diagnostic when RXVT_SOCKET is too long instead of
139 corrupting the stack (patch by exg).
140 - display current terminal locale in option menu.
141 - urxvtd no longer crashes when the client sends an inaccessible
142 working directory (reported by Roland Baer, possibly fixes gentoo
143 bug #143985).
144 - fixed many minor issues reported by Roland Baer.
145 - Leonid Khramov spotted a minor glitch in rxvtfont.C that
146 should not have any consequences, but was buggy nonetheless.
147 - manpage fix by exg.
148
1497.9 Mon Aug 7 18:16:07 CEST 2006
150 - fix the crashing bug people encountered with 7.8 + urxvtd + perl
151 + transparency. Ought to fix debian bug #380348.
152 - fix urxvtc.1.pod: it actually claimed -pty-fd would not work. But
153 it does! :->
154 - rxvt_fatal() in case the locale string is too long for our static buffer.
155 - fixed many, many, typos in the manpages (patch supplied by ves).
156
1577.8 Mon Jul 17 21:00:46 CEST 2006
158 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: this version will always read ~/.Xdefaults,
159 earlier versions only read it if display-resources (usually from
160 .Xresources) are not set. This avoids the #1 FAQ ("why isn't my
161 resource used") and seems to be logical behaviour, too. .Xdefaults
162 resources have a lower priority than display-specific resources.
163 - add "kuake" perl extension that does a similar thing to the kuake
164 terminal emulator (see man urxtvperl).
165 - use less "correct" color scaling that is compatible with libX11 and
166 Xft (avoids off-by-one colors resulting in striped backgrounds).
167 - the "depth" resource is now respected.
168 - preset the searchable-scrollback pattern with "(?i)" to default search
169 to case-insensitivity. Will automatically be cleared when typing an
170 uppercase character.
171 - add FORCE_UNBUFFERED_XFT define to features.h.
172 - re-enabled highlightcolor support with --enable-frills, based on
173 a patch by Martin Stubenschrott.
174 - double-buffered xft drawing did suffer from pixel offset issues
175 when pixmap transparency was enabled.
176 - strategically add # to the url-match regexes, as we really want to
177 match common URIs not common URLs. Reported by Aaron Griffin.
178 - moved on_osc_seq to on_osc_seq_perl and added a more
179 generic osc_seq.
180 - fix a bug causing double callback invocations when perl hooks
181 were invoked recursively.
182 - the automove-background extension now properly works when the
183 pixmap gets reset with an osc sequence (sqweek).
184 - selection-pastebin did not work properly with non-latin1-characters.
185 - apply colorUL only when the text colour is the default fg
186 (patch by Wu Fengguang).
187 - removed rxvtlib.h from the tarball, it had no reason to be there
188 (spotted by Decklin Foster).
189 - fix compiling with TRANSPARENT but !XPM_BACKGROUND, as reported
190 by omatunto_.
191 - slap in a using namespace std, might help on platforms that don't
192 follow C++ closely enough.
193 - fix mailto url regex, spotted within milliseconds by Jost Krieger.
194 - applied fade_color_update_func.patch by WU Fengguang.
195 - fix a bug where (due to an optimisation in av_delete), hiding the
196 bottom-most overlay would hide two overlays.
197
1987.7 Tue Feb 21 12:32:49 CET 2006
199 - use double-buffered drawing (xft fonts only). On many driver/hardware
200 combination this actually increases xft drawing speed, at the expense
201 of more network bandwidth and slight nausea on the side of the author.
202 - readline perl extension now requires shift-click instead of a normal
203 click, and eats the click.
204 - tabbed perl extension now supports -e.
205 - disabled graphics-exposures on the main drawing GC, report any
206 refresh bugs please.
207 - improve property handling for -pe tabbed: avoid unnecessary property
208 changes (for kde's benefit) at the expense of extra round-trips,
209 improve size hint setting.
210 - modified XIM according to a patch sent by Takano Akio that sets
211 the preedit rectangle for OverTheSpot, which helps some input methods
212 to correctly position their preedit window.
213 - un-optimise the line clearing on newly scrolled-in lines a bit: the
214 former reasoning was that any fg colour on default bg looks the same
215 in empty spaces, but thats not true when reversing (e.g. selection),
216 so also check for matching fg colours. This fixes the problem where
217 selecting newly scrolled-in lines would exhibit wrong colours.
218 - fix a bug in the perl interface causing focus in events to generate
219 focus out perl events, causing bad focus effects with -pe tabbed.
220 - fix a race resulting in a crash on exiting.
221 - fix a with --disable-xft that caused xfreecolors to be called on
222 colors never allocated, resulting in aborts (reported by Paco-Paco).
223 - resources on non-initial screens weren't refetched correctly
224 (reported by Paco-Paco).
225 - fix a bug in xcopyarea pass and _disable_ it, as it seems not to be
226 working in either rxvt-unicode nor in the original rxvt.
227 - removed undocumented -exec alias for the -e option.
228
2297.6 Fri Feb 10 08:52:36 CET 2006
230 - changed interpretation of [alpha] colour prefix.
231 - +option now really sets the option to default, instead of using the
232 resource value.
233 - options that require an argument now really _require_ an argument.
234 - the tabbed extension now forwards focus and keys events to th
235 relevant tab window.
236 - tab colours are now configurable and have sensible defaults
237 (initial patch by hednod).
238 - option menu is extendable, readline, selection and
239 selection-autotransform can now be disabled/enabled at runtime.
240 - forcing a configure event to tabbed subwindows with -pe tabbed, for
241 the benefit of automove-background.
242 - the automove-background extension added a wrong constant offset.
243 - force refresh of XA_RESOURCE_STRING on virtual reconnect.
244 - return exit status 2 in urxvtc when urxvtd couldn't be contacted.
245 - the linux yield hack is back, now using usleep, and enabled only on
246 __linux__.
247 - further round trip eliminations in the !XFT case by remembering
248 the colour components.
249 - plain scrollbar works better with -sr.
250 - fixed half-shadow scrollbar look.
251 - more colour rtt optimisations.
252 - properly(?) free colours on window close.
253 - reorganised the FAQ into multiple sections.
254 - add ISO646.1991-IRV to the list of supported codesets.
255 - minor libptytty update.
256
2577.5 Tue Jan 31 15:15:43 CET 2006
258 - further improvements to the careful mode detection, and font width
259 detection:
260 - fully double-wide fonts will now be correctly treated,
261 - overlap detection was improved.
262 - detect totally broken fonts (usually synthesized by xft).
263 - careful mode forced refresh sometimes clashed with blinking,
264 causing unnecessary screen redraws.
265 - better handling of XFT combining characters.
266 - enable antialiasing for some replacement fonts, as they
267 might get used for other encodings which really need it, later.
268 - remove spacing=100 from all default fonts, as this creates totally
269 weird spacing (5 times normal) with xft.
270 - removed iso10646 fallback, as xorgs iso10646 encoded fonts are mostly
271 broken.
272 - removed gnu unifont fallback, all combining characters are broken.
273 - replace named colours by xorg's rgb.txt equivalents, to
274 reduce round trip time on startup, and short-cut allocation
275 of rgb:rr/gg/bb for xft.
276 - short-cut allocation of rgb values in the xlib case
277 (patch by Paco-Paco).
278 - overhauled color management: smaller codesize, alpha support.
279 - support "rgba:rrrr/gggg/bbbb/aaaa" color specifications and
280 an "[alpha]" prefix.
281 - try to work around Xft and Xrender forcing everything to be 100%
282 transparent. Long Live Xft!
283 - do not include X11/Intrinsic.h anymore, directly use
284 Xlib/Xutil/Xresource directly.
285 - try to find a nearest matching color when color allocation fails
286 on a pseudocolor screen.
287 - SYNCCVS: compared to rxvt-cvs 2006-01-28, no relevant changes.
288 - fix version report (DA) (which was unfortunately broken).
289 - changed version number report again, now to emulate xterm closer.
290 - added the OSC sequence 702 to detect the urxvt version number.
291 - small configure updates.
292 - further RTT optimisations.
293 - backported clean-up patches for makefiles and documentation from
294 the debian package.
295 - updated doc/rxvt-unicode.spec file. It's still not maintained here,
296 but much newer than the old one.
297
2987.4 Sat Jan 28 15:26:27 CET 2006
299 - screen background wasn't always erased properly when scrolling,
300 - re-enabled clearing optimisation disabled in 7.4pre.
301 - small configure updates for libptytty.
302 - fixed version options: line output.
303 - removed stoopid debugging message left in the code.
304
3057.3 Wed Jan 25 22:47:35 CET 2006
306 - don't let iso14755 or mouse reporting get into the way of perl
307 (could lead to global grabs never being cleared).
308 - experimental OnTheSpot editing support (-pe xim-onthespot).
309 - moved Shift-Button2 paste combination to Meta-Button2.
310 - the cutchars resource will now be respected and used by the
311 selection extension.
312 - added the "remote-clipboard" extension which just runs external
313 commands to fetch and store the selection data.
314 - added -depth switch that tries to get a different visual depth
315 than the default (replaces the old PREFER_24_BIT logic).
316 - removed (unused) arabic presentation form composing sequences.
317 - be more strict when deciding that a core font glyph is too wide and
318 needs the careful rendering mode.
319 - allow more leeway for italic fonts when deciding that a character is
320 too wide and needs careful mode.
321 - redraw even more characters around characters using careful mode.
322 - made selection-pastebin fully asynchronous.
323 - reduced number of server turnarounds at startup by allocating
324 atoms only once per display.
325 - renamed on_keyboard_command to on_user_command.
326 - changed version sos (ESC [ > c) response to be more compatible with
327 xterm.
328
3297.2 Sun Jan 22 21:58:16 CET 2006
330 - bugfix: urxvt (not urxvtd) did not correctly handle multiple
331 environments necessary, which resulted in segfaults within
332 getenv (reproducable: urxvt -fn 9x15, open a menu once,
333 ctrl-shift-672c).
334 - bugfix: the selection speedup in in 7.1 unfortunately caused
335 non-ascii characters to enlarge/move the selection.
336 - bugfix: resizing sometimes leaked lines from the secondary to
337 the primary screen.
338 - bugfix: reducing window size while large amounts of text were output
339 could lead to an assertion failure.
340 - added "tabbed" extension that provides a crude tabbed terminal.
341 - added "readline" extension that allows cursor positioning
342 via mouse clicks.
343 - now it is possible to insert the value of the CLIPBOARD selection
344 with shift - mouse button 2.
345 - fixed the automove-background extension to ignore coordinates
346 in non-synthetic events.
347 - created a separate libpty for portable and secure
348 pty/tty/utmp/wtmp/lastlog handling, and include it in rxvt-unicode.
349 - the non-terminfo visual bell now works asynchronously, so
350 continuous ASCI BELs in one terminal do no longer monopolise the
351 whole urxvt[d] process.
352 - support some *BSD makes (for the time being, gnu make is a safe bet).
353 - work around bugs in FreeBSD's gcc.
354 - implemented some *BSD fixes in configure.
355 - removed support for obsolete offix dnd protocol.
356
3577.1 Thu Jan 19 20:25:34 CET 2006
358 - setuid/setgid operation is now _encouraged_: security has been
359 improved by moving privileged operations into a separate process
360 and permanently dropping privileges within the terminal. This
361 makes it possible to remove security checks from the perl code
362 and gives a much safer feeling when urxvt needs to run with
363 special privileges.
364 - perl taint checking disabled, as urxvt no longer runs setuid/setgid
365 itself.
366 - new perl extension automove-background that can be used to get
367 the same effect as pseudo-transparency with any pixmap.
368 - new perl extension example: perl/selection-pastebin, can be used to
369 e.g. upload the selection to a webserver and generate a url, or
370 similar stuff.
371 - use the scrollback buffer even when the scroll region doesn't
372 span the whole screen, as long as it starts at row 0. Helps
373 for programs displaying a status line at the bottom.
374 - selection popup now shows selection in dec/hex/oct.
375 - perl/selection: matching on unicode characters in the selection
376 code was O(n²), which equals infinity in some degenerate cases
377 :-> Matching is now done on UTF-8, which makes it almost instant.
378 - perl/selection, perl/selection-autotransform: regexes are now
379 being interpreted in the locale urxvt was started.
380 - implemented override-redirect option and enabled it on menus,
381 as kwin puts our windows behind the terminal (what a shoddy wm).
382 - fixed struct utmp check in configure for OpenBSD.
383 - complete overhaul of the pty/utmp management stuff and configure
384 (Emanuele Giaquinta).
385 - add tsl/fsl and related capabilities to the terminfo description,
386 to set the window title.
387 - swap the environment in some more cases. This hopefully fixes
388 some segfaults that might be caused by xft asking for env variables
389 at the wrong time.
390 - removed src/strings.C and src/menubar.C. No menubar support
391 anymore.
392 - removed all traces of SMOOTH_REFRESH.
393 - nuked QNX support.
394 - made some fixes to xpm offset and scaling code.
395 - perl-overlays and refresh hooks were not applied in correct order.
396 - changed coordinate-system of view_start/nsaved to be top to bottom.
397 - iom extended to support listening for child exits.
398
3997.0 Fri Jan 13 14:02:18 CET 2006
400 - added sections for DISTRIBUTION MAINTAINERS and about
401 SETUID/SETGID to the FAQ.
402 - selection, searchable-scrollback, selection-popup and
403 option-popup extensions enabled by default.
404 - increased xft drawing speed for problematic fonts. The effect
405 will likely be small as 99% of the xft slowness is server-related.
406 - perl: much increased functionality, better overlays, popup support
407 and much much more.
408 - perl: urxvt::line now can set via ->t and ->r.
409 - perl: changed interpretation of --perl-ext-common and -pe.
410 - perl: finally implemented --perl-eval.
411 - perl: non-blocking anyevent support.
412 - perl: run tainted and ignore perl-eval/perl-lib if started
413 setuid/setgid.
414 - free the resource database: this plugs a massive memory leak. As a
415 side effect, it also gets rid of XGetDefault calls.
416 - free one of the cursors, fixes a small memory leak.
417 - built-in (as opposed to terminfos) visual bell was broken/too fast.
418 - applied minor cleanups by Ladislav Michnovic.
419 - applied pty handling cleanups and improvements (Emanuele Giaquinta).
420 - mark-urls launch-on-click by jepler.
421 - removed "small" resource parsing function, as it wasn't really
422 compatible, and not really small either.
423 - removed PATH_ENV and PATH file search support.
424 - removed support for locale-specific app-defaults file.
425 - fixed a bug where out-of-bounds colour sequences could lead
426 to crashes.
427 - limit colour changing to the standard 88 palette instead of all
428 colours.
429 - XTerm_Color01 sequence returned wrong results in query mode.
430 - iom.C now checks against destructed io_manager when unregistering.
431
4326.3 Wed Jan 4 22:37:10 CET 2006
433 - SECURITY FIX: on systems using openpty, permissions were
434 not correctly updated on the tty device and were left as
435 world-readable and world-writable (likely in original rxvt,
436 too), and were not restored properly. Affected are only
437 systems where non-unix ptys were used (such as most BSDs, not
438 GNU/Linux). (found, patched and debugged by Ryan Beasley).
439 - meta8 support was forcefully enabled in most configurations.
440 restored configurability of this (useless) feature (reported
441 by Mikachu).
442 - optionally embed a perl interpreter, which can be used for more
443 intelligent/customized selection support, visual feedback,
444 menus, tabs etc. See the the urxvtperl manpage, the -pe option,
445 perl*-resources and keysym resources. Not everything is there yet.
446 - try to be more clever about differing font sizes and their ascent.
447 Not guarenteed to work, but works better in most cases now.
448 - fix directory permissions on install.
449 - implemented option to disable built-in line drawing characters
450 and fall back to the font ones (patch by Martin Pohlack).
451 - disabled sched_yield support: the linux version is just too useless
452 (it schedules nice'd processes before the own one for extended
453 periods). Too bad, it could reduce system time by a factor of 5 here.
454
4556.2 Mon Jan 2 16:03:01 CET 2006
456 - implemented intensityStyles option which enables/disables bold/blink
457 selecting high intensity foreground/background colours, suggested by
458 Chuck Blake.
459 - move iso14755 character feedback box out of the way if it would
460 obscure the mouse cursor position.
461 - replaced callback.h by a fixed version from gvpe that correctly
462 returns the callback result (affects new -pty-fd semantics in urxvtc
463 on a few architectures). Reported by darix.
464 - include one trailing space in rectangular selections to indicate
465 the inserted newline (yeah, weird, but visually more pleasing).
466 - try to use sched_yield to (drastically) improve terminal data
467 transfer efficiency.
468 - further minor cleanups.
469
4706.1 Tue Dec 27 13:23:40 CET 2005
471 - update iso8859-7 table (euro and drachma round-trip et al.).
472 - fix a crash when the selection scrolls out of the scrollback
473 while the user still drags.
474 - selections that were partially scrolled out of the window were
475 not drawn correctly.
476 - lines newly scrolled in were not initialized properly, leading
477 to extremely long lines and (hopefully) some segfaults.
478 - iso14755 overlay position was wrong.
479 - iso14755 overlay now displays rendition info, too.
480 - use unicode white space class instead of hardcoded values for
481 stripping whitespace.
482 - do whitespace stripping on rectangular selections.
483 - slight cleanups in src/features.h.
484
4856.0 Sat Dec 24 13:58:56 CET 2005
486 - make it compile without SMART_RESIZE again.
487 - enable slow link support by default.
488 - fix relative cursor-positioning not respecting scrolling regions
489 (also a bug in original rxvt).
490 - initialize termios structure to zero when fetching it fails
491 (see http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=84647 for a
492 partial patch).
493 - bump max columns/rows to 10000 each.
494 - bump max savelines to 10000000.
495 - -pty-fd now passes the urxvtc fd to the urxvtd process.
496 - avoid linking against -lnsl/-lsocket/-lxpg4 unless neccessary.
497 - major code cleanup (still not complete, though).
498 - implement -hold option.
499 - _major_ rewrite of internal buffer handling:
500 - re-flow on resize, lines get wrapped instead of winged.
501 - circular line buffer (substantially speeds up scrolling).
502 - slightly less code + data memory usage per terminal.
503 - slight overall speed improvements.
504 - considerably improved code clarity.
505 - partial-screen scrolls no longer end up in the scrollback
506 buffer.
507
5085.9 Sat Dec 17 21:53:17 CET 2005
509 - fix a bug in the menu code of unknown impact, found by darix.
510 - clean up signal handling to be global, not per terminal
511 (matters only for rxvtd).
512 - fix small typoe in rxvt.1 (found by Mike Fabian).
513 - don't crash when broken xft/fontconfig/freetype versions return
514 bogus data, ignore the xft font instead (experienced on suse).
515
5165.8 Tue Oct 25 22:21:45 CEST 2005
517 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: many configure options are now on by default.
518 If you want the old behaviour, try:
519 configure --disable-everything <your enable options>
520 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: -fade changed it's meaning to comply with
521 the documentation and common sense: when upgrading, replace your
522 percentage by 100-percentage.
523 - integrated "fade to specific colour" patch by Martin Parm.
524 - slow down the internal visual bell (delay by 20ms) and update
525 the terminfo flash code to use the same delay. This is
526 synchronous, so many bells might inhibit screen updates in other
527 windows.
528 - text with background==foreground colour gets displayed with default
529 bg/fg now when in reverse video, so it can be seen when selecting.
530 - allow koi8r* as x11 encoding name for koi8r (Nikita Danilov).
531 - removed undocumented inheritPixmapforce option.
532 - replaced INSTALL file.
533
5345.7 Wed Jul 13 04:46:33 CEST 2005
535 - implement some useful (hopefully) options for rxvtd.
536 - separate and improved rxvtc(1) and rxvtd(1) manpages.
537 - fix a bug that caused segfaults on startup on systems that do
538 not support local unix connections, e.g cygwin. (btw, I didn't
539 even know about the -rootless and -multiwindow Cygwin/X modes).
540 - large amounts of text without control sequences or newlines
541 could almost freeze output. This has been fixed by adding extra
542 refreshes in these cases (also a problem in original rxvt).
543
5445.6 Sun Jun 26 22:11:13 CEST 2005
545 - R_SB_RXVT bitset value was 0, so rxvt scrollbar was initialised
546 every time resulting in display errors (original rxvt also affected).
547 Reported by Jasmin Buchert.
548 - font names are now considered to be utf-8 encoded (xft apperently
549 uses this convention. X Core fonts might not, but it should be rare).
550 Affects display in iso14755 box.
551 - rewrote the low-level xft drawing function ("xft backend" for the
552 hipper parts of the world) to hopefully cope better with proportional
553 chars mixed with fixed-width ones.
554 - rxvt is now much more careful (read: slower) with potentially
555 overlapping xft characters. It usually overshoots and redraws
556 more than required, but that's better than undershooting and
557 cutting pieces off of characters.
558 - rxvt is now more restrictive in what font heights it accepts for
559 fonts that will likely overshoot or undershoot lines.
560 - fix a cosmetic problem with the unfocused cursor on a wide character
561 at the end of the line (reported by Mikachu).
562 - wide characters not fitting into the end of the line will be
563 output in the next line (reported by Mikachu).
564 - added doc/solaris9.patch by Ewgenij Starostin.
565
5665.5 Sat Apr 23 22:31:36 CEST 2005
567 - re-enabled modifer state matching as in 5.3, but implement
568 a new builtin: keysym style that simply reverts to the built-in
569 meaning of the given key.
570 - use scrollcolor for next scrollbar instead of hardcoded antiquewhite
571 (patch by Martin Edlman).
572
5735.4 Mon Apr 18 00:33:31 CEST 2005
574 - match modifier state exactly in custom keyboard code.
575 this is necessary because it has no knowledge about
576 built-in mappings and so will overwrite them. the priority-code
577 will be re-enabled when this has changed, so watch out.
578 - cursor blinking now depends on frills.
579 - underline cursor mode (frills, -uc).
580 - implement special value (*g*) for pointerBlankDelay
581 to disable it.
582
5835.3 Sun Mar 13 00:20:44 CET 2005
584 - fix a bug that allowed to overflow a buffer via a long
585 escape sequence, which is probably exploitable (fix by
586 Rob Holland / Yoann Vandoorselaere / Gentoo Audit Team).
587 - Custom key mappings no longer confuse mouse buttons
588 with modifiers.
589 - use XmbSetWMProperties instead of XSetWMProperties.
590 - properly update WM_LOCALE.
591 - implement _NET_WM_PING protocol.
592 - implemented escape sequences to move the scrollback buffer view
593 and clear the scrollback buffer.
594
5955.2 Sun Feb 20 01:48:59 CET 2005
596 - new option -pty-fd that makes the terminal a slave
597 that uses an existing pty for I/O instead of starting
598 a command.
599 - implement enough of XEMBED to allow for correct focus.
600 - added doc/embed-tk, an embedding example in Perl/Tk,
601 and doc/rxvt-tabbed, a primitive tabbed shell implemented
602 in Perl/Gtk2.
603 - fix assertion failure ("crash") on mousewheel-scrolling
604 when the terminal height is small, by removing the assert.
605 (reported by Mikael Magnusson).
606 - SYNCCVS. backported bugfixes done to rxvt
607 (sourceforge bugs #1028739, #1028732), except for
608 pts/%s fix as it seems to collide with freebsd,
609 and sourceforge bug #954654, which is not neccessary.
610 - change terminfo file to not clobber G1 when using
611 line-drawing characters, as this seems to mess
612 with EUC-JP (it will clobber G0, but G0 practically
613 needs to be US-ASCII all the time).
614 - toggle default application keypad/cursor mode to help
615 some apps who fail to set the correct mode.
616 - check for WM_PROTOCOLS type in ClientMessage as to
617 not destroy the window for other types of messages.
618 - remove shared library (or any library) support - it is
619 of no use currently (and -embed is a better way to embed
620 rxvt-unicode).
621 - get rid of the intpro files.
622
6235.1 Tue Feb 15 17:13:27 CET 2005
624 - fix a bug when parsing fontnames and another one
625 for empty keymaps which could result in crashes
626 (Kuang-che Wu).
627 - new option: -embed (frills). somebody could write a simple
628 tk script to make a tab'able terminal now...
629 - only warn on X errors and _try_ to continue (frills).
630 - add COPYING back, which got lost somehow.
631 - after deciding that LSM is dead, remove all traces of it,
632 along with other, similar, cleanups.
633 - _try_ to react sensibly to some non-monotonic time changes.
634 - don't crash in urxvtc when getcwd fails (reported by Paco-Paco).
635 - tweak font searching algorithm a bit to be faster and more
636 compatible with older rxvt-unicode versions when multiple fonts
637 match (reported by Paco-Paco).
638 - urxvtd tries to stay in "/" whenever possible.
639
6405.0 Fri Feb 11 18:31:48 CET 2005
641 - document a race-free hack to start urxvtd.
642 - document all(?) environment variables used and set by rxvt.
643 - bring xgetdefault-style resource file ordering more in line with
644 Xt, and document it in rxvt(1).
645 - correctly use screen-dependent resources when --enable-xgetdefault,
646 and also fix some memory bugs (thanks to Thierry Reding for
647 his patience and time in tracking this down).
648 - bring own resource parsing more in line with X resource parsing,
649 most notably, don't remove double quotes.
650 - compile fix for freebsd (no ut_id) (Thierry Thomas).
651 - clean up utmp and pty on X I/O errors and signals (idea
652 by Joël Riou).
653 - "un"document -xrm, it never really worked, was only
654 available with --enable-xgetdefault, is not necessary
655 and is surprisingly hard to implement.
656 - shaved off some code segment size.
657 - various code cleanups.
658 - more keysym-mapping fixes.
659
6604.9 Thu Feb 3 09:52:03 CET 2005
661 - nuke out utmp entries completely. Should be fixed in
662 original rxvt, too. (reported by James Michael Fultz).
663 - resizes wil now correctly refresh the displayed text when
664 -pixmap is active.
665 - new option/resource imFont.
666 - document --tripleclickwords/-tcw.
667 - select logical instead of physical lines when doing a triple-click.
668 - reordered help listing to group similar options together.
669 - handle SIGINT the same way as SIGTERM (reported by Joël Riou).
670 - fix a bug introduced while applying the keyboard patch
671 (WU Fengguang).
672 - document all window-op sequences (rxvt.7.) and more keysym
673 examples (rxvt.1).
674 - removed src/test completely.
675 - renamed keysym 'proto:'-prefix to 'command:'.
676
6774.8 Tue Jan 18 02:23:57 CET 2005
678 - added a patch by WU Fengguang that makes the keyboard
679 highly configurable (e.g. locale changes, custom escape
680 sequences, and more). See keysym resource in rxvt(1).
681 - remove default key sequence for unknown keys again, as this
682 can be achieved by customizing the keyboard now.
683 - fix some freeing problems when destroying the rxvt_display,
684 resulting in segfaults.
685 - don't crash when the saved cursor position doesn't fit on the
686 screen (wrong assert in original rxvt, reported by ikaro).
687 - fix signed/unsigned bugs on wc<->mb conversions.
688 - reset slipwheel scrolling speed when reaching the top or bottom
689 (Mikael Magnusson).
690 - for core fonts, use ascent + descent when a font is loaded,
691 and PIXEL_SIZE when not. when loading a font, iterate until a
692 font has been found that _really_ fits the height (reported and
693 tested by Olivier Wittenberg).
694 - set IUTF8 input flag, when defined (linux-2.6.5+).
695 - only define _XOPEN_SOURCE on solaris.
696 - autogenerate src/* dependency list.
697 - fixed linespace option, which ought to work now (and is dependent
698 on frills, not on it's own configure option).
699 - include pty.h, if available (cygwin).
700 - removed W11 directory from dist, it wasn't used anyway.
701 - initialize the locale much earlier.
702 - fixed two tiny per-instance memory leaks.
703
7044.7 Wed Dec 29 20:54:24 CET 2004
705 - fix a bug in the event logic that could cause the temrinal to be
706 black on initial startup.
707 - do NOT call XCloseIM, ever. This causes way to many crashes due to
708 races in the protocol and within Xlib.
709 - map iso-left-tab to the same sequence as shift-tab.
710 - generate a unique escape sequence for many unknown keys, such as
711 additional multimedia keys.
712 - mask out high (non-unicode) bits on wide characters, to cope with
713 implementations that store tag info in the high bits.
714
7154.6 Thu Dec 16 07:54:23 CET 2004

16 if it slows down large pastes and is only cosmetic. 717 if it slows down large pastes and is only cosmetic.
718 - streamline atom and xft color allocation to reduce startup
719 time (12.8s -> 7.8s on my dsl). Still, doing it with only 2-3
720 turnarounds would be much faster, but impossible to implement(?).
721 - implement underlineColor resource when ENABLE_FRILLS.
722 - iom left it's signal pipe handle open in the child
723 process. Fortunately not security-relevant as the pipe data gets
724 ignored.
725 - do not use XSETROOTPMAP_ID anymore, support ESETROOT_PMAP_ID
726 instead.
727 - fix a crash in rxvtd when the last window was being closed
728 (reported by hednod).
17 - fix an unlikely memory leak. 729 - fix an unlikely memory leak.
18 - fix atom name enumeration. 730 - fix atom name enumeration.
