3TODO: xcopyarea pass broken, fix and improve
4TODO: event mechanism that replaces on_user_command with something more scalable.
5TODO: slipwheeling needs a keyboard grab to get key release events.
6TODO: overlays collide with the way the out-of-focus cursor is being drawn
7TODO: "slow" rendering mode for bidi and scripts, pango!
5TODO: read property sequence is broken with respect to utf-8 etc. 8TODO: read property sequence is broken with respect to utf-8 etc.
6FEAT: just for fun, do shade and tint with XRender. 9TODO: slow drag selection on remote display - other things seem fast (rxvt illness, motion hints?)
7FEAT: hotkey font resizing 10TODO: better resource handling for tabbar in -pe tabbed.
8FEAT: searchable backlog 11WISH: investigate -pe tabbed -g 80x25 being 23 not 24 or 25 lines
9FEAT: meta-tagging of data by regex (my dream project) 12 => when setting the constraints, the wm might (correctly)
10FEAT: triple-click == select full output line 13 resize the outer window, which might result in a smaller window overall.
11FEAT: double-click: more intelligent (urls etc.) 14 or something like that. guys, send me a patch.
12FEAT: OnTheSpot editing. 15WISH: coloured pastebin
13FEAT: tabbed windows (hey, just use screen...) 16WISH: load system-wide config file even if we don't have one
17WISH: look into XAddConnectionWatch, does anybody need that?
18DUMB: support tex fonts
19TODO: decrqm http://ue.tst.eu/71d7dbd1fcfeaa7d2a4b96eb957d570c.txt

21TODO: command line editing when icanon?
22TODO: split ROW into a ROW_fast (0..total*2-1) and ROW macros?
14 23
24 - finding a matching font (e.g. bold version of the base font)
25 was broken (reported by Eamon Walker).
26 - fix parsing of bg image styles. They really work now.
27 - fix blurring of bg image borders when using xrender.
28 - fix xrender blur on common xrender implementations that do
29 not behave correctly when the same pixmap is used as source
30 and destination in composite operations.
31 - fix regression that caused tabbed to compute the wrong size
32 for tabs.
33 - allow again an empty suffix in a keysym list spec (patch by
34 Sung Pae).
35 - unsupported support for sun studio's CC added.
36
379.14 Wed Dec 21 18:40:33 CET 2011
38 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: the urxvtd default socket path is now
39 $HOME/.urxvt/urxvtd-<nodename>.
40 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: the "list" keysym expansion now requires
41 loading of the "keysym-list" perl extension.
42 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: A scale value of 0 in the bg image
43 geometry no longer enables tiling, so as to make it possible
44 to disable both scaling and tiling.
45 - overhaul of the bg image operations. The old operations have
46 been deprecated in favour of elementary operations and
47 styles built on top of the new operations and scale/position
48 settings. (Emanuele Giaquinta).
49 - support for libafterimage is deprecated and will be removed
50 in the next release.
51 - fix a crash caused by selection_check not properly resetting
52 out-of-bounds mark values (can happen when extending a selection
53 while scrolling up in curses programs for example).
54 - do not move the selection when scrolling up and the selection is
55 outside the scrolling region (Emanuele Giaquinta).
56 - fix display of bold bright black (reported by Ben Winslow).
57 - fix memory leak when urgentOnBell is set (patch by Nathaniel
58 Filardo).
59 - fix a redraw bug that occurs when a bg pixmap is set and the
60 wm does not honour the size hints set by urxvt. Now urxvt
61 forces the size of the terminal window to be a multiple of
62 the cell size.
63 - sanitise the argument of SD / SU sequences. Fixes a possible
64 crash when the argument is big enough, red hat bug #711137
65 (Emanuele Giaquinta).
66 - correctly split long lines when scrolling.
67 - urxvt now looks for perl extensions also in $HOME/.urxvt/ext.
68 - add bell-command perl extension to execute a command when a
69 bell event occurs (Ryan Kavanagh).
70 - add set_urgency perl binding to set/reset the urgency hint.
71 - consume button release event in matcher (exg).
72 - keyboard accessible list of recent matches in matcher
73 (Bob Farrell).
74 - properly process 'keysym' sequences in tabbed when using
75 'focus follows mouse' and the focus is on the main window
76 but not on the active terminal window (patch by Martin
77 Pohlack).
78 - support for the freedesktop startup-notification protocol (patch by
79 Michael Stapelberg).
80 - the direction of VPR and VPB commands was reversed.
81 - fix alignment of inherited root pixmap when it is a different size
82 than the root window and the terminal window is off the left or top
83 edge (Mikachu).
84 - make $self visible in "eval perl expression" popup action, also
85 handle exceptions better.
86 - fix parsing of '-e' when it occurs as an option argument, such as in
87 'urxvt -title -e' (Emanuele Giaquinta).
88
899.12 Wed Jun 29 14:34:28 CEST 2011
90 - fix regression in processing of SelectionNotify events.
91 urxvt would fail to request a selection if the owner did not
92 support the UTF8_STRING target.
93 - fix rendering of double width chars in certain circumstances, more
94 likely to happen if urxvt is compiled with 256 colors support as
95 urxvt runs out of fonts much earlier then. Fixes gentoo bug #358151
96 (Emanuele Giaquinta).
97 - restore support for 'list' syntax in keysym resources (requested by Sung Pae).
98 - always premultiply colour values - while this increases differences between
99 core fonts and xft, it is "more correct" in practical situations.
100 - disable PTYTTY_REENTRANT option - not needed for urxvt and saves a bit of code.
101 - remove lucidatypewriter from the list of fallback fonts, it was the only
102 non-xft non-cellfont in the list anyway.
103
1049.11 Mon May 2 10:34:46 CEST 2011
105 - fix compilation on GNU/Hurd, debian bug #624736.
106 - remove 'list' syntax for keysym resources, as it serves no useful purpose.
107 If you need it, poke us and provide a use case.
108 - fix alpha channel support. Premultiply alpha in colours if the visual
109 supports an alpha channel, as xrender expects premultiplied alpha
110 (Emanuele Giaquinta).
111 - fix reply to a selection request sent by an obsolete client
112 such as syncterm (patch by Marcin Cieslak).
113 - fix crash when the window is resized and the overlay is active
114 (Emanuele Giaquinta, reported by Ryan Kavanagh).
115 - match character-wise rather than byte-wise in selection
116 extension again. perl 5.8.9+ is required to avoid extreme
117 slowdowns. Fixes debian bugs #523072, #616463.
118 - fix a possible crash if the INCR transfer process for a
119 selection property timeouts and at least one chunk is
120 received. (Emanuele Giaquinta)
121 - work around a memory corruption bug in xorg's XrmSetDatabase (apparently
122 broken since http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/xorg-commit-diffs/2004-March/000239.html).
123 - fix memory corruption bug when custom command sequences bound to keys
124 were injected into an already-full pty input buffer.
125 - gdk-pixbuf is autodetected by default and preferred over libafterimage.
126 - do not prepend a newline to the selection text when the starting line
127 of the selection is not highlighted (Emanuele Giaquinta).
128 - don't swap perl env with real env, save and restore it, just in case
129 we ever get recursive perl invocations. also saves a bit of codespace
130 with gcc.
131 - fix various memory leaks (Emanuele Giaquinta).
132 - fix typo in kIC terminfo capability, debian bug #446444.
133 - document 'thickness' resource.
134 - fix debian bug #504817, to the extent possible.
135 - try to detect byte order at compile time, saves a couple of
136 hundred bytes, if your compiler is smart enough.
137 - add support for previewing the pasted data in confirm-paste
138 (Emanuele Giaquinta).
139 - added "newlines to spaces" option in selection-popup.
140 - actually enabled solaris event ports backend (was disabled by accident).
141 - revert to 38400 baud max., mission accomplished.
142 - no longer create scary "pty_fill: PLEASE REPORT" message, instead,
143 silently drain the input (problem is well understood now).
144 - no longer swallow rob nation's own graphics mode commands.
145
1469.10 Mon Dec 13 17:43:52 CET 2010
147 - the "schmorp=north korea dickey=south korea" release.
148 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: make OSC 20 simpler and more correct
149 (Emanuele Giaquinta).
150 - if options were compiled out, this could lead to the option
151 count to be defined wrongly. This is likely behind the
152 failures with gcc 4.5.
153 - explicitly depend on fontconfig and xrender when xft support
154 is enabled. Although the public Xft api uses types from
155 both, in Xft 2.2.0 these libs are private
156 dependencies only thanks to an idiotic behaviour of
157 pkg-config that was added to workaround cases like this one.
158 Fixes linking when using GNU ld with --as-needed or GNU gold
159 (based on patch by Jan Palus).
160 - fix minor memory leaks in urxvt and urxvtd.
161 - fix regression in urxvtd that prevented options from being correctly
162 set (reported by Michal Vaner).
163 - implement xterm's horribly broken 1005 mouse reporting mode,
164 and an alternative 1015 mode that works in non-utf-8 locales
165 and has fewer limitations.
166 - fix a possible bug where mouse notifications didn't work after
167 startup for the upper left corner.
168 - implement our own pixbuf to pixmap rendering to get rid of
169 dependency on buggy gdk-pixbuf-xlib. Only truecolor visuals
170 are supported (Emanuele Giaquinta).
171 - apply tinting before shading when both operations are requested.
172 Previously they were intermixed when lightening and the result
173 was inaccurate and confusing. Note that now a black tint yields a
174 completely black image, regardless of shading (Emanuele Giaquinta).
175 - avoid spurious redraws of the bg image when bg is transparent or
176 when using 'root' mode (Emanuele Giaquinta).
177 - fix build on XFree86.
178 - dynamically number options according to compiletime requirements.
179 For the extra saved byte. Or so. Yay.
180 - start options at one, not zero. Wastes a bit per terminal. Maybe.
181 saves 50 instruction bytes. Possibly.
182
1839.09 Sat Nov 13 01:39:07 CET 2010
184 - NOTICE: this release updates terminfo/termcap.
185 - the bestest release ever.
186 - it was verified that urxvt handles µ and μ correctly.
187 - add support for blending and blurring with XRender (Emanuele Giaquinta).
188 - add support for using gdk-pixbuf as image backend (Emanuele Giaquinta).
189 - cleanup and minor fixes of the image code (Emanuele Giaquinta).
190 - new perl extension "confirm-paste" (Emanuele Giaquinta).
191 - new on_tt_paste perl hook and tt_paste perl binding (Emanuele Giaquinta).
192 - new on_bell perl hook (Emanuele Giaquinta).
193 - searchable-scrollback no longer ignores the first line
194 (Emanuele Giaquinta).
195 - properly set VSTATUS in termios for *BSD (reported by Ed Schouten).
196 - fix utmpx detection on upcoming FreeBSD 9.
197 - Use COMPOUND_TEXT encoding for WM_NAME/WM_ICON_NAME value when it
198 is not fully convertible to STRING (patch by James Cloos).
199 - fix a buffer overflow that would cause wrong key sequences to
200 be generated for numpad keys (introduced in 9.05).
201 - fix definition of sgr0 to work around limitations in luit.
202 - extend ISO 14755 5.4 mode to also print the font name of the
203 characters other than first one in the selected cell
204 (Emanuele Giaquinta).
205 - new iso14755 option to disable ISO 14755 at runtime
206 (Emanuele Giaquinta).
207 - make sure pagewise scrolling scrolls at least one line
208 (found by Mikachu).
209 - remove deprecated OSC 18 / 19 and make OSC 17 / 19 apply to
210 highlightColor / highlightTextColor (Emanuele Giaquinta).
211 - add highlightTextColor resource to change the foreground colour of
212 highlighted characters (Emanuele Giaquinta).
213 - make highlightColor apply also to selected cells with reverse video
214 but not to non selected cells with reverse video (Emanuele Giaquinta).
215 - remove colorRV resource (it was enabled only with frills off).
216 - fix numlock handling, the most longstanding bug to date (Emanuele Giaquinta).
217 - reduce the number of custom bits to 4, to make room
218 for 256 colours.
219 - add support for 256 colors (Emanuele Giaquinta, Marc Lehmann).
220 - add rxvt-unicode-256color terminfo and use it by default in 256 colors mode.
221 - update rxvt-unicode terminfo to state 7744 colour pairs to cover all
222 88*88 possible pairs.
223 - actually added macosx-clipboard-native, which should have been in
224 the 9.07 release but had been forgotten.
225 - fix hang if DECAWM is not set and there are not enough columns to insert a
226 character (Emanuele Giaquinta).
227 - cub1 ("backspace") will now respect wrapping when past the rightmost column,
228 working around a shortcoming of most tty line discipline's line editing.
229 - add support for grabbing the clipboard selection and extend
230 selection{_clear,_grab,} perl bindings to optionally work
231 on the clipboard selection (based on patch by Dana Jansens).
232 - no longer force CERASE to BACKSPACE - use the system default. affects
233 default value for VERASE only when no compatible setting for
234 backspacekey was given.
235 - use higher than 38400 baudrate setting, if detected.
236 - erase screen would clear to the wrong background when blinking
237 was enabled (which selects high intensity under some circumstances).
238 - scr_kill_char didn't touch the line.
239 - upgrade and port to libev-4.01.
240 - enabled solaris event ports and kqueue backends (if available).
241
2429.07 Wed Dec 30 07:07:18 CET 2009
243 - port to glibc-2.10 changes (strchr etc. returning const char *
244 in C++), based on patches by Milos Jakubicek and Oliver Mader.
245 - the binary search algorithm to find precomposed characters
246 was faulty, skipping some possible combinations (found by
247 Mikachu).
248 - new -letterspace option, patch by Mark H. Wilkinson.
249 - enable --mlock option for urxvt with frills on
250 systems supporting it (patch by Russell Harmon).
251 - urxvt did not compile without frills enabled
252 (analysed by Matthew Rosewarne).
253 - correctly reset the mbstate after an illegal
254 input sequence when handling terminal output (Emanuele Giaquinta).
255 - avoid redrawing wide characters with combining enabled on every
256 refresh (reported by Mikachu).
257 - fix a typo preventing the ISO-646.1991 character set from being
258 recognized (http://achurch.org/patch-pile/).
259 - better warning for x11 font encoding detection failures, also,
260 try to deduce encoding from both font properties and name
261 (adapted from http://achurch.org/patch-pile/).
262 - resizing the window with the scrollbar disabled via the escapes
263 sequence could make the window bigger again (Mikachu).
264 - make sure the alignment for fd passing control messages
265 is correct and work around some NetBSD issues (Taylor R Campbell).
266 - update to libptytty 1.3.
267 - replace macosx-clipboard by a nicer version by Reza Jelveh, and move
268 the old version to macosx-clipboard-native.
269 - document the -uc option (Emanuele Giaquinta).
270 - assertions in libev are now enabled depending on frills.
271 - update AnyEvent implementation to version 5.23 API.
272 - work around arrogant bsd idiocies again: netbsd spills the default
273 namespace with lots of symbols "for gnu/gcc compatibility" even
274 though neither of them does it, and then calls the rest of the world
275 in need of fixing. go figure.
276 - on_keyboard_command is on_user_command (patch by Michael Witten).
277 - setting the selection from perl will now reset the selection screen
278 to the current screen. the screen can be manipulated using
279 the new ->selection_screen method.
280 - implement --enable-assert configure option and get rid of DEBUG_STRICT
281 (based on patch by Emanuele Giaquinta).
282 - fix printpipe data output (patch by Emanuele Giaquinta).
283 - allow `xxx' quoting style for perl selection.
284 - upgrade to libev-3.9 prerelease.
285 - updated compose tables to unicode 5.2.0.
286
2879.06 Sat Nov 8 17:47:18 CET 2008
288 - NOTICE: this release updates terminfo/termcap.
289 - updates libev to 3.48.
290 - the aterm code now frees the as visual and image manager objects
291 when a window was closed.
292 - do not (wrongly) adjust the virtual line length inside
293 scr_insdel_chars/ERASE (Miroslav Lichvar).
294 - fix an issue where wide tab characters caused character shifts
295 when part of them was deleted (tracked down by Miroslav Lichvar).
296 - artificially enlargen the previous character at the end of a line
297 when trying to output a character that doesn't fit. looks ugly, but
298 makes copy&paste work.
299 - remove bogus "setuid/setgid security issues" from rxvt.1.pod, they
300 no longer apply.
301 - the urgency hint is now cleared on both focus in and focus out.
302 - cache urgency hint locally to avoid server rtt on every focus change.
303 - perl 5.10 needs PERL_SYS_INIT3 on hppa.
304 - ignore byte-order marks and do not treat them like combining characters.
305 - fix build issue when CURSOR_BLINK is not defined (Emanuele Giaquinta).
306 - do some µ-optimisations to the character fast path.
307 - use a less cunning, but more robust algorithm to avoid one terminal
308 monopolising the whole process by outputting a lot of text.
309 - try to work around linux first breaking sched_yield and now breaking
310 the only known workaround.
311 - new option -icon to set _NET_WM_ICON (based on patch by Frank Schmitt).
312 - initialise the as visual only on demand, instead of unconditionally,
313 to save memory in the common case of not using visual gimmicks.
314 - try to work around bugs in a few wm's that erroneously resize
315 client windows on hint property updates by temporarily
316 disabling size hints.
317 - implement the DECSTR soft reset sequence and use it for tput init,
318 and make hard RIS and DECSTR both reset more private modes, such
319 as mouse reporting.
320 - redundantly clear mouse reporting and a few other states in
321 tput init/tput reset, for older urxvts.
322 - partial/full clear screens did cause flickering and possibly pixel
323 droppings when urxvt viewed the scrollback buffer.
324 - use current rendition style in DCH sequence.
325 - the 132/80 mode switch no longer forces a screen reset.
326 - add an osc sequence to change the border colour (Emanuele Giaquinta).
327 - new perl extension "overlay-osc", for status displays and the like.
328 - fix some minor cursor drawing issues with overlays by allowing
329 overlays to modify screen flags (to disable the cursor themselves).
330 - work around programs not restoring rstyle before rmcup
331 (analysed by Miroslav Lichvar).
332
3339.05 Sun Jun 15 20:09:20 CEST 2008
334 - new option --cd/chdir to set the starting working directory.
335 - tabbed extension now starts in the "correct" working directory.
336 - work around fedora 9 providing isastream but not the relevant
337 header file for it (report by Tuncer Ayaz).
338 - upgrade libev, fixing a bug in the select backend.
339 with more than 31 file descriptors on non-linux 64 bit systems.
340 - correctly reset the multibyte state to the initial one
341 after EILSEQ (patch by Neil Booth). This fixes the
342 issue of rxvt-unicode not properly displaying text after an illegal
343 sequence on NetBSD and probably other systems.
344 - more intelligent property handling with -pe tabbed, works around
345 broken window managers (kwm et al.), saves bandwidth and should
346 help working window managers as well.
347 - made tabs moveable (based on a patch by Petr Machata).
348 - implement ESC [ 3 K as a more rational alternative to ESC [ 0 K.
349 - support relative paths for RXVT_SOCKET in urxvtd.
350 - the tabbed extension now blindly copies over all (rxvt-) resources
351 from the toplevel window to the children.
352 - better diagnostic on 0x0 window geometries.
353 - update AnyEvent API to version 3.4 and above.
354 - document the default value of :0 for DISPLAY.
355 - rename perl method XChangeWindowProperty to XChangeProperty.
356
3579.02 Tue Jan 29 11:58:36 CET 2008
358 - the "exg makes everybody happy" release.
359 - fix build with !xft.
360 - always compile in plain style scrollbar (simplifies code and looks great).
361
3629.01 Sat Jan 26 20:49:27 CET 2008
363 - be more aggressive about handling X events, this seems to be required
364 with newer xlibs (should fix the "screen stays black until event is
365 received" problem, again :)
366 - add buffered resource to control xft double-buffering.
367
3689.0 Fri Jan 25 19:34:04 CET 2008
369 - fix a crash bug where urxvtd would crash when urxvtc was called
370 with wrong arguments (I wish debian maintainers in general would
371 report bugs and their proposed fixes to the original package maintainers
372 instead of sitting on them for good measure to see if anybody notices).
373 - drawing xft compose characters was causing garbage to be drawn.
374 - correctly clear xft character background in all cases.
375 - implement bracketed paste mode (xterm private mode 2004).
376 - improve documentation on alpha channel handling, make urxvt
377 work better on servers lacking the RENDER extension when alpha
378 channels or background images are used.
379 - check for refresh after initialising to avoid staying blank
380 till the first event arrives. or so.
381 - the FORCE_UNBUFFERED_XFT feature macro works again.
382 - continuously update transparency while moving/resizing now.
383 - OSC 39/49 are deprecated and aliased to OSC 10/11.
384 - cub1 now acts as advertised (and ignores the "wrapped" state).
385 - the 132/80 mode switch now forces a height of 24, too, and
386 resets the terminal.
387 - scrollbar code cleanups.
388 - stopping children is no longer confused with children exiting.
389 - removed (undocumented) #aarrggbb format.
390 - updated to libev 3.0.
391
3928.9 Mon Dec 24 07:51:40 CET 2007
393 - fix the issue where urxvtd would not immediately close a window
394 when the command exited but only on the next X event.
395 - changed terminfo file not to use application keypad mode.
396 - fix the issue where making a selection in one urxvtd window
397 would not clear it visually in another.
398 - fix an issue of urxvt not getting background pixmap updates
399 and flickering after bg pixmap changes (reported by Mikachu).
400 - fix redraw bug in xterm scrollbar with -sr (reported by Mikachu).
401 - correctly provide dependencies for libev (µikachu).
402 - minor code reorganisations and cleanups.
403 - be more robust in case the urxvt-popup extension cannot be loaded.
404
4058.8 Sat Dec 15 19:40:39 CET 2007
406 - option -C was aliased to all unsupported options, activating
407 options that shouldn't be compiled in, leading to interesting
408 effects.
409 - updated libev, working around a bug in linux 2.4, curing the
410 symptom of urxvt not closing its window on shell exit. also
411 fixes a problem with urxvt not refreshing.
412 - the text blink callback was called even when no blinking
413 text was visible.
414 - pre-8.4 slipwheeling behaviour has been reinstated, with
415 some minor improvements.
416 - streamlined x events processing to only flush once per
417 display and not once per terminal window.
418 - quite a bit of minor code cleanups and codesize optimisations.
419
4208.7 Sun Nov 25 10:23:49 CET 2007
421 - update libev with an important bugfix that would cause crashes
422 when closing windows (when using rxvtd, and update is recommended).
423 - do not compile in the block builtin graphics with --disable-frills.
424
4258.6 Fri Nov 23 14:10:57 CET 2007
426 - upgrade libev to disable kqueue on anything but netbsd as it
427 seems to be broken everywhere else w.r.t. ptys.
428 - allow for spurious event notifications, as at least epoll and
429 especially solaris ports like to lie about them (symptoms:
430 urxvt "hangs" until there is some x11 related activity).
431 - -keysym command line options are now subjected to xlib parsing.
432 - add 'xrm' option analogous to Xt one.
433
4348.5a Wed Nov 21 10:16:33 CET 2007
435 - make it compile with --disable-transparency.
436
4378.5 Wed Nov 21 05:19:20 CET 2007
438 - expect major portability issues in this release: please test and report.
439 - converted from the veritable io manager event loop to
440 the high performance libev (http://software.schmorp.de/pkg/libev).
441 - minor tuning to the perl selection (include single words and more quoting chars).
442 - fix memory leak in pixmap code.
443 - fix a serious bug while setting the XIM destroy callback
444 on (typical) 64 bit systems.
445 - automove-background functionality re-implemented internally using :root op in pixmap
446 geometry string. For example: rxvt -pixmap "image.jpg;:root"
447 - do not link rxvtc against every lib on the planet anymore.
448 - parallel builds should work once more.
449
4508.4 Sat Oct 27 14:02:13 CEST 2007
451 - overhaul of the transparency/pixmap code (sasha).
452 - fix possible race between visual bell and poweron.
453 (reported by Martin von Gagern, gentoo?).
454 - urxvt -e no longer crashes the child.
455 - fixed some minor memleaks on incorrect usage or
456 missing DISPLAY.
457 - implement xterm 1002/1003 mouse tracking modes (exg).
458 - source code organisational cleanups (exg).
459 - updated io_manager.
460
4618.3 Wed Aug 1 20:21:31 CEST 2007
462 - new option: skipScroll/-ss, enabled by default.
463 - go with the times and expect x11 library files in /usr/lib, not
464 /usr/X11R6/lib.
465 - initial transparency improvement/afterimage support
466 patch by Sasha Vasko.
467 - add urgentOnBell resource to set the urgency hint
468 (patch by Philip Paeps).
469 - do not process focus events caused by grabs
470 (patch by Mikachu).
471 - add iso14755_52 resource to disable iso14755 5.2 (exg).
472 - add binding for backspace in iso14755 5.1 to remove the last
473 digit (exg).
474 - better option handling, support more than 30 options (exg).
475 - nuke reconf script, serves no purpose anymore.
476 - fixed and documented matcher/on_user_command processing in matcher
477 extension (tpope).
478 - compile out of the box on Solaris 10 (exg).
479 - fix MappingNotify events (reported by Stephan Walter).
480 - zero-initialise mwmhints, this seems to solve all sorts of minor
481 problems.
482
4838.2 Sat Feb 17 21:35:28 CET 2007
484 - fix make depend in src/, reported by exg.
485 - fixed typo in urxvt::GET_CUSTOM, causing the result to be wrong.
486 (patch by Sergey Vlasov).
487 - unbundled iom perl interface somewhat.
488 - scrollbar-xterm now uses the selected scrollColor instead of fg
489 (found by Aiviru).
490 - disabled linux kernel bug workaround again: disabling it gives
491 a 50% speed hit on affected machines, while enabling it gives
492 a similar speed hit to screen, which is likely the more common
493 case to work around for :/
494 - urxvt::rend2mask perl function, and utilization of it by matcher
495 (patch by Moshe Kamensky).
496 - use perl:matcher on a keysym to open most recently displayed URL.
497 - with matcher, when multiple patterns match, last wins, not first.
498 - fix make and make install with srcdir != builddir (exg).
499 - updated bundled libptytty to fix a bug where the tty would be kept
500 open (see the libptytty ChangeLog for details).
501 - delay setting the IUTF8 flag to after the tty settings have been
502 set so its value does not get lost (reported and analysed by Andrei
503 Paskevich).
504 - rip out support for obsolete sgtty.h interface.
505 - rip out support for non-POSIX termios variants.
506 - update libptytty.
507 - update iom.C, make it call ptytty::sanitise_stdfd on init.
508 - when !XFT, change rounding of colours to use a less correct formula to
509 meet user expectancies (#aaa becomes #a000a000a000 not #9f9f9f9f9f9f).
510 - change the starting offset of the pixmap set with backgroundPixmap
511 from (50,50) to (0,0) (exg).
512 - fix a typo in button_release, now meta-button2 request the value of
513 the Clipboard selection as it should (patch by Serge Koksharov).
514 - fix a bug in drawing a cell with a nonspacing char when using an xft
515 font with inheritPixmap and tintColor (exg).
516
5178.1 Thu Dec 7 22:27:25 CET 2006
518 - ｹﾘｽﾏｽﾌ゚ﾚｾ゙ﾝﾄ - zomg!!1, it's too early!!!
519 - fix the assumption that chars < 256 are single-width. Now
520 only assume this for codepoints 32 to 126 (reported by Dai.H.).
521 - $term->strwidth returned wide chars as width 1, because some jerk
522 confused min and max. Fixing this also fixes xim-onthespot.
523 Reported by Takano Akio.
524 - secondaryScroll is now enabled by default (as per the manpage),
525 reported by exg.
526 - correct the description of [percent]color rgba format in the manpage.
527 - incorporated macosx-clipboard extension by Samuel Ljungkvist.
528 - ignore (some) useless focus events (reported by mmc).
529 - updated compose table to unicode 5.0.0.
530
5318.0 Thu Nov 2 18:35:19 CET 2006
532 - combining characters cleared the area instead of creating an overlay,
533 thus losing the ability to draw combining characters properly in most
534 circumstances (reported by exg).
535 - specified fonts were incorrectly morphed to bold/italic according to the
536 basefont, even if explicitly specified (tracked down by tpope).
537 - fixed urxvt::strwidth to calculate width in the same way as screen.C.
538 - fix a crash caused by passing negative widths to overlay functions.
539 - added 'matcher' extension by tpope, replacing the mark-urls extension.
540 - improve url regex to match anything www.* (tpope).
541 - fixed bug with outline cursor color being wrong after xft fonts.
542 - update to libptytty-1.0.
543 - give proper diagnostic when RXVT_SOCKET is too long instead of
544 corrupting the stack (patch by exg).
545 - display current terminal locale in option menu.
546 - urxvtd no longer crashes when the client sends an inaccessible
547 working directory (reported by Roland Baer, possibly fixes gentoo
548 bug #143985).
549 - fixed many minor issues reported by Roland Baer.
550 - Leonid Khramov spotted a minor glitch in rxvtfont.C that
551 should not have any consequences, but was buggy nonetheless.
552 - manpage fix by exg.
553
5547.9 Mon Aug 7 18:16:07 CEST 2006
555 - fix the crashing bug people encountered with 7.8 + urxvtd + perl
556 + transparency. Ought to fix debian bug #380348.
557 - fix urxvtc.1.pod: it actually claimed -pty-fd would not work. But
558 it does! :->
559 - rxvt_fatal() in case the locale string is too long for our static buffer.
560 - fixed many, many, typos in the manpages (patch supplied by ves).
561
5627.8 Mon Jul 17 21:00:46 CEST 2006
563 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: this version will always read ~/.Xdefaults,
564 earlier versions only read it if display-resources (usually from
565 .Xresources) are not set. This avoids the #1 FAQ ("why isn't my
566 resource used") and seems to be logical behaviour, too. .Xdefaults
567 resources have a lower priority than display-specific resources.
568 - add "kuake" perl extension that does a similar thing to the kuake
569 terminal emulator (see man urxvtperl).
570 - use less "correct" color scaling that is compatible with libX11 and
571 Xft (avoids off-by-one colors resulting in striped backgrounds).
572 - the "depth" resource is now respected.
573 - preset the searchable-scrollback pattern with "(?i)" to default search
574 to case-insensitivity. Will automatically be cleared when typing an
575 uppercase character.
576 - add FORCE_UNBUFFERED_XFT define to features.h.
577 - re-enabled highlightcolor support with --enable-frills, based on
578 a patch by Martin Stubenschrott.
579 - double-buffered xft drawing did suffer from pixel offset issues
580 when pixmap transparency was enabled.
581 - strategically add # to the url-match regexes, as we really want to
582 match common URIs not common URLs. Reported by Aaron Griffin.
583 - moved on_osc_seq to on_osc_seq_perl and added a more
584 generic osc_seq.
585 - fix a bug causing double callback invocations when perl hooks
586 were invoked recursively.
587 - the automove-background extension now properly works when the
588 pixmap gets reset with an osc sequence (sqweek).
589 - selection-pastebin did not work properly with non-latin1-characters.
590 - apply colorUL only when the text colour is the default fg
591 (patch by Wu Fengguang).
592 - removed rxvtlib.h from the tarball, it had no reason to be there
593 (spotted by Decklin Foster).
594 - fix compiling with TRANSPARENT but !XPM_BACKGROUND, as reported
595 by omatunto_.
596 - slap in a using namespace std, might help on platforms that don't
597 follow C++ closely enough.
598 - fix mailto url regex, spotted within milliseconds by Jost Krieger.
599 - applied fade_color_update_func.patch by WU Fengguang.
600 - fix a bug where (due to an optimisation in av_delete), hiding the
601 bottom-most overlay would hide two overlays.
602
6037.7 Tue Feb 21 12:32:49 CET 2006
604 - use double-buffered drawing (xft fonts only). On many driver/hardware
605 combination this actually increases xft drawing speed, at the expense
606 of more network bandwidth and slight nausea on the side of the author.
607 - readline perl extension now requires shift-click instead of a normal
608 click, and eats the click.
609 - tabbed perl extension now supports -e.
610 - disabled graphics-exposures on the main drawing GC, report any
611 refresh bugs please.
612 - improve property handling for -pe tabbed: avoid unnecessary property
613 changes (for kde's benefit) at the expense of extra round-trips,
614 improve size hint setting.
615 - modified XIM according to a patch sent by Takano Akio that sets
616 the preedit rectangle for OverTheSpot, which helps some input methods
617 to correctly position their preedit window.
618 - un-optimise the line clearing on newly scrolled-in lines a bit: the
619 former reasoning was that any fg colour on default bg looks the same
620 in empty spaces, but that's not true when reversing (e.g. selection),
621 so also check for matching fg colours. This fixes the problem where
622 selecting newly scrolled-in lines would exhibit wrong colours.
623 - fix a bug in the perl interface causing focus in events to generate
624 focus out perl events, causing bad focus effects with -pe tabbed.
625 - fix a race resulting in a crash on exiting.
626 - fix a with --disable-xft that caused xfreecolors to be called on
627 colors never allocated, resulting in aborts (reported by Paco-Paco).
628 - resources on non-initial screens weren't refetched correctly
629 (reported by Paco-Paco).
630 - fix a bug in xcopyarea pass and _disable_ it, as it seems not to be
631 working in either rxvt-unicode nor in the original rxvt.
632 - removed undocumented -exec alias for the -e option.
633
6347.6 Fri Feb 10 08:52:36 CET 2006
635 - changed interpretation of [alpha] colour prefix.
636 - +option now really sets the option to default, instead of using the
637 resource value.
638 - options that require an argument now really _require_ an argument.
639 - the tabbed extension now forwards focus and key events to the
640 relevant tab window.
641 - tab colours are now configurable and have sensible defaults
642 (initial patch by hednod).
643 - option menu is extendable, readline, selection and
644 selection-autotransform can now be disabled/enabled at runtime.
645 - forcing a configure event to tabbed subwindows with -pe tabbed, for
646 the benefit of automove-background.
647 - the automove-background extension added a wrong constant offset.
648 - force refresh of XA_RESOURCE_STRING on virtual reconnect.
649 - return exit status 2 in urxvtc when urxvtd couldn't be contacted.
650 - the linux yield hack is back, now using usleep, and enabled only on
651 __linux__.
652 - further round trip eliminations in the !XFT case by remembering
653 the colour components.
654 - plain scrollbar works better with -sr.
655 - fixed half-shadow scrollbar look.
656 - more colour rtt optimisations.
657 - properly(?) free colours on window close.
658 - reorganised the FAQ into multiple sections.
659 - add ISO646.1991-IRV to the list of supported codesets.
660 - minor libptytty update.
661
6627.5 Tue Jan 31 15:15:43 CET 2006
663 - further improvements to the careful mode detection, and font width
664 detection:
665 - fully double-wide fonts will now be correctly treated,
666 - overlap detection was improved.
667 - detect totally broken fonts (usually synthesized by xft).
668 - careful mode forced refresh sometimes clashed with blinking,
669 causing unnecessary screen redraws.
670 - better handling of XFT combining characters.
671 - enable antialiasing for some replacement fonts, as they
672 might get used for other encodings which really need it, later.
673 - remove spacing=100 from all default fonts, as this creates totally
674 weird spacing (5 times normal) with xft.
675 - removed iso10646 fallback, as xorgs iso10646 encoded fonts are mostly
676 broken.
677 - removed gnu unifont fallback, all combining characters are broken.
678 - replace named colours by xorg's rgb.txt equivalents, to
679 reduce round trip time on startup, and short-cut allocation
680 of rgb:rr/gg/bb for xft.
681 - short-cut allocation of rgb values in the xlib case
682 (patch by Paco-Paco).
683 - overhauled color management: smaller codesize, alpha support.
684 - support "rgba:rrrr/gggg/bbbb/aaaa" color specifications and
685 an "[alpha]" prefix.
686 - try to work around Xft and Xrender forcing everything to be 100%
687 transparent. Long Live Xft!
688 - do not include X11/Intrinsic.h anymore, directly use
689 Xlib/Xutil/Xresource directly.
690 - try to find a nearest matching color when color allocation fails
691 on a pseudocolor screen.
692 - SYNCCVS: compared to rxvt-cvs 2006-01-28, no relevant changes.
693 - fix version report (DA) (which was unfortunately broken).
694 - changed version number report again, now to emulate xterm closer.
695 - added the OSC sequence 702 to detect the urxvt version number.
696 - small configure updates.
697 - further RTT optimisations.
698 - backported clean-up patches for makefiles and documentation from
699 the debian package.
700 - updated doc/rxvt-unicode.spec file. It's still not maintained here,
701 but much newer than the old one.
702
7037.4 Sat Jan 28 15:26:27 CET 2006
704 - screen background wasn't always erased properly when scrolling,
705 - re-enabled clearing optimisation disabled in 7.4pre.
706 - small configure updates for libptytty.
707 - fixed version options: line output.
708 - removed stoopid debugging message left in the code.
709
7107.3 Wed Jan 25 22:47:35 CET 2006
711 - don't let iso14755 or mouse reporting get into the way of perl
712 (could lead to global grabs never being cleared).
713 - experimental OnTheSpot editing support (-pe xim-onthespot).
714 - moved Shift-Button2 paste combination to Meta-Button2.
715 - the cutchars resource will now be respected and used by the
716 selection extension.
717 - added the "remote-clipboard" extension which just runs external
718 commands to fetch and store the selection data.
719 - added -depth switch that tries to get a different visual depth
720 than the default (replaces the old PREFER_24_BIT logic).
721 - removed (unused) arabic presentation form composing sequences.
722 - be more strict when deciding that a core font glyph is too wide and
723 needs the careful rendering mode.
724 - allow more leeway for italic fonts when deciding that a character is
725 too wide and needs careful mode.
726 - redraw even more characters around characters using careful mode.
727 - made selection-pastebin fully asynchronous.
728 - reduced number of server turnarounds at startup by allocating
729 atoms only once per display.
730 - renamed on_keyboard_command to on_user_command.
731 - changed version sos (ESC [ > c) response to be more compatible with
732 xterm.
733
7347.2 Sun Jan 22 21:58:16 CET 2006
735 - bugfix: urxvt (not urxvtd) did not correctly handle multiple
736 environments necessary, which resulted in segfaults within
737 getenv (reproducible: urxvt -fn 9x15, open a menu once,
738 ctrl-shift-672c).
739 - bugfix: the selection speedup in in 7.1 unfortunately caused
740 non-ascii characters to enlarge/move the selection.
741 - bugfix: resizing sometimes leaked lines from the secondary to
742 the primary screen.
743 - bugfix: reducing window size while large amounts of text were output
744 could lead to an assertion failure.
745 - added "tabbed" extension that provides a crude tabbed terminal.
746 - added "readline" extension that allows cursor positioning
747 via mouse clicks.
748 - now it is possible to insert the value of the CLIPBOARD selection
749 with shift - mouse button 2.
750 - fixed the automove-background extension to ignore coordinates
751 in non-synthetic events.
752 - created a separate libpty for portable and secure
753 pty/tty/utmp/wtmp/lastlog handling, and include it in rxvt-unicode.
754 - the non-terminfo visual bell now works asynchronously, so
755 continuous ASCI BELs in one terminal do no longer monopolise the
756 whole urxvt[d] process.
757 - support some *BSD makes (for the time being, gnu make is a safe bet).
758 - work around bugs in FreeBSD's gcc.
759 - implemented some *BSD fixes in configure.
760 - removed support for obsolete offix dnd protocol.
761
7627.1 Thu Jan 19 20:25:34 CET 2006
763 - setuid/setgid operation is now _encouraged_: security has been
764 improved by moving privileged operations into a separate process
765 and permanently dropping privileges within the terminal. This
766 makes it possible to remove security checks from the perl code
767 and gives a much safer feeling when urxvt needs to run with
768 special privileges.
769 - perl taint checking disabled, as urxvt no longer runs setuid/setgid
770 itself.
771 - new perl extension automove-background that can be used to get
772 the same effect as pseudo-transparency with any pixmap.
773 - new perl extension example: perl/selection-pastebin, can be used to
774 e.g. upload the selection to a webserver and generate a url, or
775 similar stuff.
776 - use the scrollback buffer even when the scroll region doesn't
777 span the whole screen, as long as it starts at row 0. Helps
778 for programs displaying a status line at the bottom.
779 - selection popup now shows selection in dec/hex/oct.
780 - perl/selection: matching on unicode characters in the selection
781 code was O(n²), which equals infinity in some degenerate cases
782 :-> Matching is now done on UTF-8, which makes it almost instant.
783 - perl/selection, perl/selection-autotransform: regexes are now
784 being interpreted in the locale urxvt was started.
785 - implemented override-redirect option and enabled it on menus,
786 as kwin puts our windows behind the terminal (what a shoddy wm).
787 - fixed struct utmp check in configure for OpenBSD.
788 - complete overhaul of the pty/utmp management stuff and configure
789 (Emanuele Giaquinta=exg).
790 - add tsl/fsl and related capabilities to the terminfo description,
791 to set the window title.
792 - swap the environment in some more cases. This hopefully fixes
793 some segfaults that might be caused by xft asking for env variables
794 at the wrong time.
795 - removed src/strings.C and src/menubar.C. No menubar support
796 anymore.
797 - removed all traces of SMOOTH_REFRESH.
798 - nuked QNX support.
799 - made some fixes to xpm offset and scaling code.
800 - perl-overlays and refresh hooks were not applied in correct order.
801 - changed coordinate-system of view_start/nsaved to be top to bottom.
802 - iom extended to support listening for child exits.
803
8047.0 Fri Jan 13 14:02:18 CET 2006
805 - added sections for DISTRIBUTION MAINTAINERS and about
806 SETUID/SETGID to the FAQ.
807 - selection, searchable-scrollback, selection-popup and
808 option-popup extensions enabled by default.
809 - increased xft drawing speed for problematic fonts. The effect
810 will likely be small as 99% of the xft slowness is server-related.
811 - perl: much increased functionality, better overlays, popup support
812 and much much more.
813 - perl: urxvt::line now can set via ->t and ->r.
814 - perl: changed interpretation of --perl-ext-common and -pe.
815 - perl: finally implemented --perl-eval.
816 - perl: non-blocking anyevent support.
817 - perl: run tainted and ignore perl-eval/perl-lib if started
818 setuid/setgid.
819 - free the resource database: this plugs a massive memory leak. As a
820 side effect, it also gets rid of XGetDefault calls.
821 - free one of the cursors, fixes a small memory leak.
822 - built-in (as opposed to terminfos) visual bell was broken/too fast.
823 - applied minor cleanups by Ladislav Michnovic.
824 - applied pty handling cleanups and improvements (Emanuele Giaquinta).
825 - mark-urls launch-on-click by jepler.
826 - removed "small" resource parsing function, as it wasn't really
827 compatible, and not really small either.
828 - removed PATH_ENV and PATH file search support.
829 - removed support for locale-specific app-defaults file.
830 - fixed a bug where out-of-bounds colour sequences could lead
831 to crashes.
832 - limit colour changing to the standard 88 palette instead of all
833 colours.
834 - XTerm_Color01 sequence returned wrong results in query mode.
835 - iom.C now checks against destructed io_manager when unregistering.
836
8376.3 Wed Jan 4 22:37:10 CET 2006
838 - SECURITY FIX: on systems using openpty, permissions were
839 not correctly updated on the tty device and were left as
840 world-readable and world-writable (likely in original rxvt,
841 too), and were not restored properly. Affected are only
842 systems where non-unix ptys were used (such as most BSDs, not
843 GNU/Linux). (found, patched and debugged by Ryan Beasley).
844 - meta8 support was forcefully enabled in most configurations.
845 restored configurability of this (useless) feature (reported
846 by Mikachu).
847 - optionally embed a perl interpreter, which can be used for more
848 intelligent/customized selection support, visual feedback,
849 menus, tabs etc. See the the urxvtperl manpage, the -pe option,
850 perl*-resources and keysym resources. Not everything is there yet.
851 - try to be more clever about differing font sizes and their ascent.
852 Not guaranteed to work, but works better in most cases now.
853 - fix directory permissions on install.
854 - implemented option to disable built-in line drawing characters
855 and fall back to the font ones (patch by Martin Pohlack).
856 - disabled sched_yield support: the linux version is just too useless
857 (it schedules nice'd processes before the own one for extended
858 periods). Too bad, it could reduce system time by a factor of 5 here.
859
8606.2 Mon Jan 2 16:03:01 CET 2006
861 - implemented intensityStyles option which enables/disables bold/blink
862 selecting high intensity foreground/background colours, suggested by
863 Chuck Blake.
864 - move iso14755 character feedback box out of the way if it would
865 obscure the mouse cursor position.
866 - replaced callback.h by a fixed version from gvpe that correctly
867 returns the callback result (affects new -pty-fd semantics in urxvtc
868 on a few architectures). Reported by darix.
869 - include one trailing space in rectangular selections to indicate
870 the inserted newline (yeah, weird, but visually more pleasing).
871 - try to use sched_yield to (drastically) improve terminal data
872 transfer efficiency.
873 - further minor cleanups.
874
8756.1 Tue Dec 27 13:23:40 CET 2005
876 - update iso8859-7 table (euro and drachma round-trip et al.).
877 - fix a crash when the selection scrolls out of the scrollback
878 while the user still drags.
879 - selections that were partially scrolled out of the window were
880 not drawn correctly.
881 - lines newly scrolled in were not initialized properly, leading
882 to extremely long lines and (hopefully) some segfaults.
883 - iso14755 overlay position was wrong.
884 - iso14755 overlay now displays rendition info, too.
885 - use unicode white space class instead of hardcoded values for
886 stripping whitespace.
887 - do whitespace stripping on rectangular selections.
888 - slight cleanups in src/features.h.
889
8906.0 Sat Dec 24 13:58:56 CET 2005
891 - make it compile without SMART_RESIZE again.
892 - enable slow link support by default.
893 - fix relative cursor-positioning not respecting scrolling regions
894 (also a bug in original rxvt).
895 - initialize termios structure to zero when fetching it fails
896 (see http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=84647 for a
897 partial patch).
898 - bump max columns/rows to 10000 each.
899 - bump max savelines to 10000000.
900 - -pty-fd now passes the urxvtc fd to the urxvtd process.
901 - avoid linking against -lnsl/-lsocket/-lxpg4 unless necessary.
902 - major code cleanup (still not complete, though).
903 - implement -hold option.
904 - _major_ rewrite of internal buffer handling:
905 - re-flow on resize, lines get wrapped instead of winged.
906 - circular line buffer (substantially speeds up scrolling).
907 - slightly less code + data memory usage per terminal.
908 - slight overall speed improvements.
909 - considerably improved code clarity.
910 - partial-screen scrolls no longer end up in the scrollback
911 buffer.
912
9135.9 Sat Dec 17 21:53:17 CET 2005
914 - fix a bug in the menu code of unknown impact, found by darix.
915 - clean up signal handling to be global, not per terminal
916 (matters only for rxvtd).
917 - fix small typoe in rxvt.1 (found by Mike Fabian).
918 - don't crash when broken xft/fontconfig/freetype versions return
919 bogus data, ignore the xft font instead (experienced on suse).
920
9215.8 Tue Oct 25 22:21:45 CEST 2005
922 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: many configure options are now on by default.
923 If you want the old behaviour, try:
924 configure --disable-everything <your enable options>
925 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: -fade changed its meaning to comply with
926 the documentation and common sense: when upgrading, replace your
927 percentage by 100-percentage.
928 - integrated "fade to specific colour" patch by Martin Parm.
929 - slow down the internal visual bell (delay by 20ms) and update
930 the terminfo flash code to use the same delay. This is
931 synchronous, so many bells might inhibit screen updates in other
932 windows.
933 - text with background==foreground colour gets displayed with default
934 bg/fg now when in reverse video, so it can be seen when selecting.
935 - allow koi8r* as x11 encoding name for koi8r (Nikita Danilov).
936 - removed undocumented inheritPixmapforce option.
937 - replaced INSTALL file.
938
9395.7 Wed Jul 13 04:46:33 CEST 2005
940 - implement some useful (hopefully) options for rxvtd.
941 - separate and improved rxvtc(1) and rxvtd(1) manpages.
942 - fix a bug that caused segfaults on startup on systems that do
943 not support local unix connections, e.g cygwin. (btw, I didn't
944 even know about the -rootless and -multiwindow Cygwin/X modes).
945 - large amounts of text without control sequences or newlines
946 could almost freeze output. This has been fixed by adding extra
947 refreshes in these cases (also a problem in original rxvt).
948
9495.6 Sun Jun 26 22:11:13 CEST 2005
950 - R_SB_RXVT bitset value was 0, so rxvt scrollbar was initialised
951 every time resulting in display errors (original rxvt also affected).
952 Reported by Jasmin Buchert.
953 - font names are now considered to be utf-8 encoded (xft apparently
954 uses this convention. X Core fonts might not, but it should be rare).
955 Affects display in iso14755 box.
956 - rewrote the low-level xft drawing function ("xft backend" for the
957 hipper parts of the world) to hopefully cope better with proportional
958 chars mixed with fixed-width ones.
959 - rxvt is now much more careful (read: slower) with potentially
960 overlapping xft characters. It usually overshoots and redraws
961 more than required, but that's better than undershooting and
962 cutting pieces off of characters.
963 - rxvt is now more restrictive in what font heights it accepts for
964 fonts that will likely overshoot or undershoot lines.
965 - fix a cosmetic problem with the unfocused cursor on a wide character
966 at the end of the line (reported by Mikachu).
967 - wide characters not fitting into the end of the line will be
968 output in the next line (reported by Mikachu).
969 - added doc/solaris9.patch by Ewgenij Starostin.
970
9715.5 Sat Apr 23 22:31:36 CEST 2005
972 - re-enabled modifier state matching as in 5.3, but implement
973 a new builtin: keysym style that simply reverts to the built-in
974 meaning of the given key.
975 - use scrollcolor for next scrollbar instead of hardcoded antiquewhite
976 (patch by Martin Edlman).
977
9785.4 Mon Apr 18 00:33:31 CEST 2005
979 - match modifier state exactly in custom keyboard code.
980 this is necessary because it has no knowledge about
981 built-in mappings and so will overwrite them. the priority-code
982 will be re-enabled when this has changed, so watch out.
983 - cursor blinking now depends on frills.
984 - underline cursor mode (frills, -uc).
985 - implement special value (*g*) for pointerBlankDelay
986 to disable it.
987
9885.3 Sun Mar 13 00:20:44 CET 2005
989 - fix a bug that allowed to overflow a buffer via a long
990 escape sequence, which is probably exploitable (fix by
991 Rob Holland / Yoann Vandoorselaere / Gentoo Audit Team).
992 - Custom key mappings no longer confuse mouse buttons
993 with modifiers.
994 - use XmbSetWMProperties instead of XSetWMProperties.
995 - properly update WM_LOCALE.
996 - implement _NET_WM_PING protocol.
997 - implemented escape sequences to move the scrollback buffer view
998 and clear the scrollback buffer.
999
10005.2 Sun Feb 20 01:48:59 CET 2005
1001 - new option -pty-fd that makes the terminal a slave
1002 that uses an existing pty for I/O instead of starting
1003 a command.
1004 - implement enough of XEMBED to allow for correct focus.
1005 - added doc/embed-tk, an embedding example in Perl/Tk,
1006 and doc/rxvt-tabbed, a primitive tabbed shell implemented
1007 in Perl/Gtk2.
1008 - fix assertion failure ("crash") on mousewheel-scrolling
1009 when the terminal height is small, by removing the assert.
1010 (reported by Mikael Magnusson=Mikachu).
1011 - SYNCCVS. backported bugfixes done to rxvt
1012 (sourceforge bugs #1028739, #1028732), except for
1013 pts/%s fix as it seems to collide with freebsd,
1014 and sourceforge bug #954654, which is not necessary.
1015 - change terminfo file to not clobber G1 when using
1016 line-drawing characters, as this seems to mess
1017 with EUC-JP (it will clobber G0, but G0 practically
1018 needs to be US-ASCII all the time).
1019 - toggle default application keypad/cursor mode to help
1020 some apps who fail to set the correct mode.
1021 - check for WM_PROTOCOLS type in ClientMessage as to
1022 not destroy the window for other types of messages.
1023 - remove shared library (or any library) support - it is
1024 of no use currently (and -embed is a better way to embed
1025 rxvt-unicode).
1026 - get rid of the intpro files.
1027
10285.1 Tue Feb 15 17:13:27 CET 2005
1029 - fix a bug when parsing fontnames and another one
1030 for empty keymaps which could result in crashes
1031 (Kuang-che Wu).
1032 - new option: -embed (frills). somebody could write a simple
1033 tk script to make a tab'able terminal now...
1034 - only warn on X errors and _try_ to continue (frills).
1035 - add COPYING back, which got lost somehow.
1036 - after deciding that LSM is dead, remove all traces of it,
1037 along with other, similar, cleanups.
1038 - _try_ to react sensibly to some non-monotonic time changes.
1039 - don't crash in urxvtc when getcwd fails (reported by Paco-Paco).
1040 - tweak font searching algorithm a bit to be faster and more
1041 compatible with older rxvt-unicode versions when multiple fonts
1042 match (reported by Paco-Paco).
1043 - urxvtd tries to stay in "/" whenever possible.
1044
10455.0 Fri Feb 11 18:31:48 CET 2005
1046 - document a race-free hack to start urxvtd.
1047 - document all(?) environment variables used and set by rxvt.
1048 - bring xgetdefault-style resource file ordering more in line with
1049 Xt, and document it in rxvt(1).
1050 - correctly use screen-dependent resources when --enable-xgetdefault,
1051 and also fix some memory bugs (thanks to Thierry Reding for
1052 his patience and time in tracking this down).
1053 - bring own resource parsing more in line with X resource parsing,
1054 most notably, don't remove double quotes.
1055 - compile fix for freebsd (no ut_id) (Thierry Thomas).
1056 - clean up utmp and pty on X I/O errors and signals (idea
1057 by Joël Riou).
1058 - "un"document -xrm, it never really worked, was only
1059 available with --enable-xgetdefault, is not necessary
1060 and is surprisingly hard to implement.
1061 - shaved off some code segment size.
1062 - various code cleanups.
1063 - more keysym-mapping fixes.
1064
10654.9 Thu Feb 3 09:52:03 CET 2005
1066 - nuke out utmp entries completely. Should be fixed in
1067 original rxvt, too. (reported by James Michael Fultz).
1068 - resizes will now correctly refresh the displayed text when
1069 -pixmap is active.
1070 - new option/resource imFont.
1071 - document --tripleclickwords/-tcw.
1072 - select logical instead of physical lines when doing a triple-click.
1073 - reordered help listing to group similar options together.
1074 - handle SIGINT the same way as SIGTERM (reported by Joël Riou).
1075 - fix a bug introduced while applying the keyboard patch
1076 (WU Fengguang).
1077 - document all window-op sequences (rxvt.7.) and more keysym
1078 examples (rxvt.1).
1079 - removed src/test completely.
1080 - renamed keysym 'proto:'-prefix to 'command:'.
1081
10824.8 Tue Jan 18 02:23:57 CET 2005
1083 - added a patch by WU Fengguang that makes the keyboard
1084 highly configurable (e.g. locale changes, custom escape
1085 sequences, and more). See keysym resource in rxvt(1).
1086 - remove default key sequence for unknown keys again, as this
1087 can be achieved by customizing the keyboard now.
1088 - fix some freeing problems when destroying the rxvt_display,
1089 resulting in segfaults.
1090 - don't crash when the saved cursor position doesn't fit on the
1091 screen (wrong assert in original rxvt, reported by ikaro).
1092 - fix signed/unsigned bugs on wc<->mb conversions.
1093 - reset slipwheel scrolling speed when reaching the top or bottom
1094 (Mikael Magnusson).
1095 - for core fonts, use ascent + descent when a font is loaded,
1096 and PIXEL_SIZE when not. when loading a font, iterate until a
1097 font has been found that _really_ fits the height (reported and
1098 tested by Olivier Wittenberg).
1099 - set IUTF8 input flag, when defined (linux-2.6.5+).
1100 - only define _XOPEN_SOURCE on solaris.
1101 - autogenerate src/* dependency list.
1102 - fixed linespace option, which ought to work now (and is dependent
1103 on frills, not on its own configure option).
1104 - include pty.h, if available (cygwin).
1105 - removed W11 directory from dist, it wasn't used anyway.
1106 - initialize the locale much earlier.
1107 - fixed two tiny per-instance memory leaks.
1108
11094.7 Wed Dec 29 20:54:24 CET 2004
1110 - fix a bug in the event logic that could cause the terminal to be
1111 black on initial startup.
1112 - do NOT call XCloseIM, ever. This causes way to many crashes due to
1113 races in the protocol and within Xlib.
1114 - map iso-left-tab to the same sequence as shift-tab.
1115 - generate a unique escape sequence for many unknown keys, such as
1116 additional multimedia keys.
1117 - mask out high (non-unicode) bits on wide characters, to cope with
1118 implementations that store tag info in the high bits.
1119
