3TODO: init_secondary serves what purpose? maybe move it to earlier startup phase and re-think
4TODO: xcopyarea pass broken, fix and improve
5TODO: event mechanism that replaces on_keyboard_command with something more scalable.
6TODO: slipwheeling needs a keyboard grab to get key release events.
7TODO: overlays collide with the way the out-of-focus cursor is being drawn
8TODO: "slow" rendering mode for bidi and scripts, pango!
5TODO: read property sequence is broken with respect to utf-8 etc. 9TODO: read property sequence is broken with respect to utf-8 etc.
6FEAT: just for fun, do shade and tint with XRender. 10TODO: slow drag selection on remote display - other things seem fast (rxvt illness, motion hints?)
7FEAT: hotkey font resizing 11TODO: better resource handling for tabbar in -pe tabbed.
8FEAT: searchable backlog 12WISH: investigate -pe tabbed -g 80x25 being 23 not 24 or 25 lines
9FEAT: meta-tagging of data by regex (my dream project) 13 => when setting the constraints, the wm might (correctly)
10FEAT: triple-click == select full output line 14 resize the outer window, which might result in a smaller window overall.
11FEAT: double-click: more intelligent (urls etc.) 15 or something like that. guys, send me a patch.
12FEAT: OnTheSpot editing. 16WISH: coloured pastebin
13FEAT: tabbed windows (hey, just use screen...) 17WISH: selection-color-pair instead of reverse video
18WISH: load system-wide config file even if we don't have one
19WISH: look into XAddConnectionWatch, does anybody need that?
20DUMB: support tex fonts

22TODO: /*TODO: the xlceararea/xfillrectangle below don't take scroll offste into account, ask mikachu for details */
2300:25:39 <Mikachu> put your prompt around the middle row in the terminal
24 and while sleep 0.1; do printf '\e[J'; done
2500:26:31 <schmorp> i assume scorllttyoutput or so wouldinterfere?

28TODO: cursor over overlays, when focus change?
29 - the aterm code now frees the as visual and image manager objects
30 when a window was closed.
31 - do not (wrongly) adjust the virtual line length inside
32 scr_insdel_chars/ERASE (Miroslav Lichvar).
33 - fix an issue where wide tab characters caused character shifts
34 when part of them was deleted (tracked down by Miroslav Lichvar).
35 - artificially enlargen the previous character at the end of a line
36 when trying to output a character that doesn't fit. looks ugly, but
37 makes copy&paste work.
38 - remove bogus "setuid/setgid security issues" from rxvt.1.pod, they
39 no longer apply.
40 - the urgency hint is now cleared on both focus in and focus out.
41 - cache urgency hint locally to avoid server rtt on every focus change.
42 - perl 5.10 needs PERL_SYS_INIT3 on hppa.
43 - ignore byte-order marks and do not treat them like combining characters.
44 - fix build issue when CURSOR_BLINK is not defined (Emanuele Giaquinta).
45 - do some µ-optimisations to the character fast path.
46 - use a less cunning, but more robust algorithm to avoid one terminal
47 monopolising the whole process by outputting a lot of text.
48 - try to work around linux first breaking sched_yield and now breaking
49 the only known workaround.
50 - new option -icon to set _NET_WM_ICON (based on patch by Frank Schmitt).
51 - initialise the as visual only on demand, instead of unconditionally,
52 to save memory in the common case of not using visual gimmicks.
53 - try to work around a race between urxvt and wm's on programmatic
54 resizes by temporarily disabling size hints.
55 - implement the DECSTR soft reset sequence and use it for tput init,
56 and make hard RIS and DECSTR both reset more private modes, such
57 as mouse reporting.
58 - redundantly clear mouse reporting and a few other states in
59 tput init/tput reset, for older urxvts.
60 - partial/full clear screens did cause flickering and possibly pixel
61 droppings when urxvt viewed the scorllback buffer.
62
639.05 Sun Jun 15 20:09:20 CEST 2008
64 - new option --cd/chdir to set the starting working directory.
65 - tabbed extension now starts in the "correct" working directory.
66 - work around fedora 9 providing isastream but not the relevant
67 header file for it (report by Tuncer Ayaz).
68 - upgrade libev, fixing a bug in the select backend
69 with more than 31 file descriptors on non-linux 64 bit systems.
70 - correctly reset the multibyte state to the initial one
71 after EILSEQ (patch by Neil Booth). This fixes the
72 issue of rxvt-unicode not properly displaying text after an illegal
73 sequence on NetBSD and probably other systems.
74 - more intelligent property handling with -pe tabbed, works around
75 broken window managers (kwm et al.), saves bandwidth and should
76 help working window managers as well.
77 - made tabs moveable (based on a patch by Petr Machata).
78 - implement ESC [ 3 K as a more rational alternative to ESC [ 0 K.
79 - support relative paths for RXVT_SOCKET in urxvtd.
80 - the tabbed extension now blindly copies over all (rxvt-) resources
81 from the toplevel window to the children.
82 - better diagnostic on 0x0 window geometries.
83 - update AnyEvent API to version 3.4 and above.
84 - document the default value of :0 for DISPLAY.
85 - rename perl method XChangeWindowProperty to XChangeProperty.
86
879.02 Tue Jan 29 11:58:36 CET 2008
88 - the "exg makes everybody happy" release.
89 - fix build with !xft.
90 - always compile in plain style scrollbar (simplifies code and looks great).
91
929.01 Sat Jan 26 20:49:27 CET 2008
93 - be more aggressive about handling X events, this seems to be required
94 with newer xlibs (should fix the "screen stays black until event is
95 received" problem, again :)
96 - add buffered resource to control xft double-buffering.
97
989.0 Fri Jan 25 19:34:04 CET 2008
99 - fix a crash bug where urxvtd would crash when urxvtc was called
100 with wrong arguments (I wish debian maintainers in general would
101 report bugs and their proposed fixes to the original package maintaienrs
102 instead of sitting on them for good measure to see if anybody notices).
103 - drawing xft compose characters was causing garbage to be drawn.
104 - correctly clear xft character background in all cases.
105 - implement bracketed paste mode (xterm private mode 2004).
106 - improve documentation on alpha channel handling, make urxvt
107 work better on servers lacking the RENDER extension when alpha
108 channels or background images are used.
109 - check for refresh after initialising to avoid staying blank
110 till the first event arrives. or so.
111 - the FORCE_UNBUFFERED_XFT feature macro works again.
112 - continuously update transparency while moving/resizing now.
113 - OSC 39/49 are deprecated and aliased to OSC 10/11.
114 - cub1 now acts as advertised (and ignores the "wrapped" state).
115 - the 132/80 mode switch now forces a height of 24, too, and
116 resets the terminal.
117 - scrollbar code cleanups.
118 - stopping children is no longer confused with children exiting.
119 - removed (undocumented) #aarrggbb format.
120 - updated to libev 3.0.
121
1228.9 Mon Dec 24 07:51:40 CET 2007
123 - fix the issue where urxvtd would not immediately close a window
124 when the command exited but only on the next X event.
125 - changed terminfo file not to use application keypad mode.
126 - fix the issue where making a selection in one urxvtd window
127 would not clear it visually in another.
128 - fix an issue of urxvt not getting background pixmap updates
129 and flickering after bg pixmap changes (reported by Mikachu).
130 - fix redraw bug in xterm scrollbar with -sr (reported by Mikachu).
131 - correctly provide dependencies for libev (µikachu).
132 - minor code reorganisations and cleanups.
133 - be more robust in case the urxvt-popup extension cannot be loaded.
134
1358.8 Sat Dec 15 19:40:39 CET 2007
136 - option -C was aliased to all unsupported options, activating
137 options that shouldn't be compiled in, leading to interesting
138 effects.
139 - updated libev, working around a bug in linux 2.4, curing the
140 symptom of urxvt not closing its window on shell exit. also
141 fixes a problem with urxvt not refreshing.
142 - the text blink callback was called even when no blinking
143 text was visible.
144 - pre-8.4 slipwheeling behaviour has been reinstated, with
145 some minor improvements.
146 - streamlined x events processing to only flush once per
147 display and not once per terminal window.
148 - quite a bit of minor code cleanups and codesize optimisations.
149
1508.7 Sun Nov 25 10:23:49 CET 2007
151 - update libev with an important bugfix that would cause crashes
152 when closing windows (when using rxvtd, and update is recommended).
153 - do not compile in the block builtin graphics with --disable-frills.
154
1558.6 Fri Nov 23 14:10:57 CET 2007
156 - upgrade libev to disable kqueue on anything but netbsd as it
157 seems to be broken everywhere else w.r.t. ptys.
158 - allow for spurious event notifications, as at least epoll and
159 especially solaris ports like to lie about them (symptoms:
160 urxvt "hangs" until there is some x11 related activity).
161 - -keysym command line options are now subjected to xlib parsing.
162 - add 'xrm' option analogous to Xt one.
163
1648.5a Wed Nov 21 10:16:33 CET 2007
165 - make it compile with --disable-transparency.
166
1678.5 Wed Nov 21 05:19:20 CET 2007
168 - expect major portability issues in this release: please test and report.
169 - converted from the veritable io manager event loop to
170 the high performance libev (http://software.schmorp.de/pkg/libev).
171 - minor tuning to the perl selection (include single words and more quoting chars).
172 - fix memory leak in pixmap code.
173 - fix a serious bug while setting the XIM destroy callback
174 on (typical) 64 bit systems.
175 - automove-background functionality re-implemented internaly using :root op in pixmap
176 geometry string. For example: rxvt -pixmap "image.jpg;:root"
177 - do not link rxvtc against every lib on the planet anymore.
178 - parallel builds should work once more.
179
1808.4 Sat Oct 27 14:02:13 CEST 2007
181 - overhaul of the transparency/pixmap code (sasha).
182 - fix possible race betwen visual bell and poweron.
183 (reported by Martin von Gagern, gentoo?).
184 - urxvt -e no longer crashes the child.
185 - fixed some minor memleaks on incorrect usage or
186 missing DISPLAY.
187 - implement xterm 1002/1003 mouse tracking modes (exg).
188 - source code organisational cleanups (exg).
189 - updated io_manager.
190
1918.3 Wed Aug 1 20:21:31 CEST 2007
192 - new option: skipScroll/-ss, enabled by default.
193 - go with the times and expect x11 library files in /usr/lib, not
194 /usr/X11R6/lib.
195 - initial transparency improvement/afterimage support
196 patch by Sasha Vasko.
197 - add urgentOnBell resource to set the urgency hint
198 (patch by Philip Paeps).
199 - do not process focus events caused by grabs
200 (patch by Mikachu).
201 - add iso14755_52 resource to disable iso14755 5.2 (exg).
202 - add binding for backspace in iso14755 5.1 to remove the last
203 digit (exg).
204 - better option handling, support more than 30 options (exg).
205 - nuke reconf script, serves no purpose anymore.
206 - fixed and documented matcher/on_user_command processing in matcher
207 extension (tpope).
208 - compile out of the box on Solaris 10 (exg).
209 - fix MappingNotify events (reported by Stephan Walter).
210 - zero-initialise mwmhints, this seems to solve all sorts of minor
211 problems.
212
2138.2 Sat Feb 17 21:35:28 CET 2007
214 - fix make depend in src/, reported by exg.
215 - fixed typo in urxvt::GET_CUSTOM, causing the result to be wrong.
216 (patch by Sergey Vlasov).
217 - unbundled iom perl interface somewhat.
218 - scrollbar-xterm now uses the selected scrollColor instead of fg
219 (found by Aiviru).
220 - disabled linux kernel bug workaround again: disabling it gives
221 a 50% speed hit on affected machines, while enabling it gives
222 a similar speed hit to screen, which is likely the more common
223 case to work around for :/
224 - urxvt::rend2mask perl function, and utilization of it by matcher
225 (patch by Moshe Kamensky).
226 - use perl:matcher on a keysym to open most recently displayed URL.
227 - with matcher, when multiple patterns match, last wins, not first.
228 - fix make and make install with srcdir != builddir (exg).
229 - updated bundled libptytty to fix a bug where the tty would be kept
230 open (see the libptytty ChangeLog for details).
231 - delay setting the IUTF8 flag to after the tty settings have been
232 set so its value does not get lost (reported and analysed by Andrei
233 Paskevich).
234 - rip out support for obsolete sgtty.h interface.
235 - rip out support for non-POSIX termios variants.
236 - update libptytty.
237 - update iom.C, make it call ptytty::sanitise_stdfd on init.
238 - when !XFT, change rounding of colours to use a less correct formula to
239 meet user expectancies (#aaa becomes #a000a000a000 not #9f9f9f9f9f9f).
240 - change the starting offset of the pixmap set with backgroundPixmap
241 from (50,50) to (0,0) (exg).
242 - fix a typo in button_release, now meta-button2 request the value of
243 the Clipboard selection as it should (patch by Serge Koksharov).
244 - fix a bug in drawing a cell with a nonspacing char when using an xft
245 font with inheritPixmap and tintColor (exg).
246
2478.1 Thu Dec 7 22:27:25 CET 2006
248 - ケリスマスプレゼント - zomg!!1, it's too early!!!
249 - fix the assumption that chars < 256 are single-width. Now
250 only assume this for codepoints 32 to 126 (reported by Dai.H.).
251 - $term->strwidth returned wide chars as width 1, because some jerk
252 confused min and max. Fixing this also fixes xim-onthespot.
253 Reported by Takano Akio.
254 - secondaryScroll is now enabled by default (as per the manpage),
255 reported by exg.
256 - correct the description of [percent]color rgba format in the manpage.
257 - incorporated macosx-clipboard extension by Samuel Ljungkvist.
258 - ignore (some) useless focus events (reported by mmc).
259 - updated compose table to unicode 5.0.0.
260
2618.0 Thu Nov 2 18:35:19 CET 2006
262 - combining characters cleared the area instead of creating an overlay,
263 thus losing the ability to draw combining characters properly in most
264 circumstances (reported by exg).
265 - specified fonts were incorrectly morphed to bold/italic according to the
266 basefont, even if explicitly specified (tracked down by tpope).
267 - fixed urxvt::strwidth to calculate width in the same way as screen.C.
268 - fix a crash caused by passing negative widths to overlay functions.
269 - added 'matcher' extension by tpope, replacing the mark-urls extension.
270 - improve url regex to match anything www.* (tpope).
271 - fixed bug with outline cursor color being wrong after xft fonts.
272 - update to libptytty-1.0.
273 - give proper diagnostic when RXVT_SOCKET is too long instead of
274 corrupting the stack (patch by exg).
275 - display current terminal locale in option menu.
276 - urxvtd no longer crashes when the client sends an inaccessible
277 working directory (reported by Roland Baer, possibly fixes gentoo
278 bug #143985).
279 - fixed many minor issues reported by Roland Baer.
280 - Leonid Khramov spotted a minor glitch in rxvtfont.C that
281 should not have any consequences, but was buggy nonetheless.
282 - manpage fix by exg.
283
2847.9 Mon Aug 7 18:16:07 CEST 2006
285 - fix the crashing bug people encountered with 7.8 + urxvtd + perl
286 + transparency. Ought to fix debian bug #380348.
287 - fix urxvtc.1.pod: it actually claimed -pty-fd would not work. But
288 it does! :->
289 - rxvt_fatal() in case the locale string is too long for our static buffer.
290 - fixed many, many, typos in the manpages (patch supplied by ves).
291
2927.8 Mon Jul 17 21:00:46 CEST 2006
293 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: this version will always read ~/.Xdefaults,
294 earlier versions only read it if display-resources (usually from
295 .Xresources) are not set. This avoids the #1 FAQ ("why isn't my
296 resource used") and seems to be logical behaviour, too. .Xdefaults
297 resources have a lower priority than display-specific resources.
298 - add "kuake" perl extension that does a similar thing to the kuake
299 terminal emulator (see man urxtvperl).
300 - use less "correct" color scaling that is compatible with libX11 and
301 Xft (avoids off-by-one colors resulting in striped backgrounds).
302 - the "depth" resource is now respected.
303 - preset the searchable-scrollback pattern with "(?i)" to default search
304 to case-insensitivity. Will automatically be cleared when typing an
305 uppercase character.
306 - add FORCE_UNBUFFERED_XFT define to features.h.
307 - re-enabled highlightcolor support with --enable-frills, based on
308 a patch by Martin Stubenschrott.
309 - double-buffered xft drawing did suffer from pixel offset issues
310 when pixmap transparency was enabled.
311 - strategically add # to the url-match regexes, as we really want to
312 match common URIs not common URLs. Reported by Aaron Griffin.
313 - moved on_osc_seq to on_osc_seq_perl and added a more
314 generic osc_seq.
315 - fix a bug causing double callback invocations when perl hooks
316 were invoked recursively.
317 - the automove-background extension now properly works when the
318 pixmap gets reset with an osc sequence (sqweek).
319 - selection-pastebin did not work properly with non-latin1-characters.
320 - apply colorUL only when the text colour is the default fg
321 (patch by Wu Fengguang).
322 - removed rxvtlib.h from the tarball, it had no reason to be there
323 (spotted by Decklin Foster).
324 - fix compiling with TRANSPARENT but !XPM_BACKGROUND, as reported
325 by omatunto_.
326 - slap in a using namespace std, might help on platforms that don't
327 follow C++ closely enough.
328 - fix mailto url regex, spotted within milliseconds by Jost Krieger.
329 - applied fade_color_update_func.patch by WU Fengguang.
330 - fix a bug where (due to an optimisation in av_delete), hiding the
331 bottom-most overlay would hide two overlays.
332
3337.7 Tue Feb 21 12:32:49 CET 2006
334 - use double-buffered drawing (xft fonts only). On many driver/hardware
335 combination this actually increases xft drawing speed, at the expense
336 of more network bandwidth and slight nausea on the side of the author.
337 - readline perl extension now requires shift-click instead of a normal
338 click, and eats the click.
339 - tabbed perl extension now supports -e.
340 - disabled graphics-exposures on the main drawing GC, report any
341 refresh bugs please.
342 - improve property handling for -pe tabbed: avoid unnecessary property
343 changes (for kde's benefit) at the expense of extra round-trips,
344 improve size hint setting.
345 - modified XIM according to a patch sent by Takano Akio that sets
346 the preedit rectangle for OverTheSpot, which helps some input methods
347 to correctly position their preedit window.
348 - un-optimise the line clearing on newly scrolled-in lines a bit: the
349 former reasoning was that any fg colour on default bg looks the same
350 in empty spaces, but thats not true when reversing (e.g. selection),
351 so also check for matching fg colours. This fixes the problem where
352 selecting newly scrolled-in lines would exhibit wrong colours.
353 - fix a bug in the perl interface causing focus in events to generate
354 focus out perl events, causing bad focus effects with -pe tabbed.
355 - fix a race resulting in a crash on exiting.
356 - fix a with --disable-xft that caused xfreecolors to be called on
357 colors never allocated, resulting in aborts (reported by Paco-Paco).
358 - resources on non-initial screens weren't refetched correctly
359 (reported by Paco-Paco).
360 - fix a bug in xcopyarea pass and _disable_ it, as it seems not to be
361 working in either rxvt-unicode nor in the original rxvt.
362 - removed undocumented -exec alias for the -e option.
363
3647.6 Fri Feb 10 08:52:36 CET 2006
365 - changed interpretation of [alpha] colour prefix.
366 - +option now really sets the option to default, instead of using the
367 resource value.
368 - options that require an argument now really _require_ an argument.
369 - the tabbed extension now forwards focus and keys events to th
370 relevant tab window.
371 - tab colours are now configurable and have sensible defaults
372 (initial patch by hednod).
373 - option menu is extendable, readline, selection and
374 selection-autotransform can now be disabled/enabled at runtime.
375 - forcing a configure event to tabbed subwindows with -pe tabbed, for
376 the benefit of automove-background.
377 - the automove-background extension added a wrong constant offset.
378 - force refresh of XA_RESOURCE_STRING on virtual reconnect.
379 - return exit status 2 in urxvtc when urxvtd couldn't be contacted.
380 - the linux yield hack is back, now using usleep, and enabled only on
381 __linux__.
382 - further round trip eliminations in the !XFT case by remembering
383 the colour components.
384 - plain scrollbar works better with -sr.
385 - fixed half-shadow scrollbar look.
386 - more colour rtt optimisations.
387 - properly(?) free colours on window close.
388 - reorganised the FAQ into multiple sections.
389 - add ISO646.1991-IRV to the list of supported codesets.
390 - minor libptytty update.
391
3927.5 Tue Jan 31 15:15:43 CET 2006
393 - further improvements to the careful mode detection, and font width
394 detection:
395 - fully double-wide fonts will now be correctly treated,
396 - overlap detection was improved.
397 - detect totally broken fonts (usually synthesized by xft).
398 - careful mode forced refresh sometimes clashed with blinking,
399 causing unnecessary screen redraws.
400 - better handling of XFT combining characters.
401 - enable antialiasing for some replacement fonts, as they
402 might get used for other encodings which really need it, later.
403 - remove spacing=100 from all default fonts, as this creates totally
404 weird spacing (5 times normal) with xft.
405 - removed iso10646 fallback, as xorgs iso10646 encoded fonts are mostly
406 broken.
407 - removed gnu unifont fallback, all combining characters are broken.
408 - replace named colours by xorg's rgb.txt equivalents, to
409 reduce round trip time on startup, and short-cut allocation
410 of rgb:rr/gg/bb for xft.
411 - short-cut allocation of rgb values in the xlib case
412 (patch by Paco-Paco).
413 - overhauled color management: smaller codesize, alpha support.
414 - support "rgba:rrrr/gggg/bbbb/aaaa" color specifications and
415 an "[alpha]" prefix.
416 - try to work around Xft and Xrender forcing everything to be 100%
417 transparent. Long Live Xft!
418 - do not include X11/Intrinsic.h anymore, directly use
419 Xlib/Xutil/Xresource directly.
420 - try to find a nearest matching color when color allocation fails
421 on a pseudocolor screen.
422 - SYNCCVS: compared to rxvt-cvs 2006-01-28, no relevant changes.
423 - fix version report (DA) (which was unfortunately broken).
424 - changed version number report again, now to emulate xterm closer.
425 - added the OSC sequence 702 to detect the urxvt version number.
426 - small configure updates.
427 - further RTT optimisations.
428 - backported clean-up patches for makefiles and documentation from
429 the debian package.
430 - updated doc/rxvt-unicode.spec file. It's still not maintained here,
431 but much newer than the old one.
432
4337.4 Sat Jan 28 15:26:27 CET 2006
434 - screen background wasn't always erased properly when scrolling,
435 - re-enabled clearing optimisation disabled in 7.4pre.
436 - small configure updates for libptytty.
437 - fixed version options: line output.
438 - removed stoopid debugging message left in the code.
439
4407.3 Wed Jan 25 22:47:35 CET 2006
441 - don't let iso14755 or mouse reporting get into the way of perl
442 (could lead to global grabs never being cleared).
443 - experimental OnTheSpot editing support (-pe xim-onthespot).
444 - moved Shift-Button2 paste combination to Meta-Button2.
445 - the cutchars resource will now be respected and used by the
446 selection extension.
447 - added the "remote-clipboard" extension which just runs external
448 commands to fetch and store the selection data.
449 - added -depth switch that tries to get a different visual depth
450 than the default (replaces the old PREFER_24_BIT logic).
451 - removed (unused) arabic presentation form composing sequences.
452 - be more strict when deciding that a core font glyph is too wide and
453 needs the careful rendering mode.
454 - allow more leeway for italic fonts when deciding that a character is
455 too wide and needs careful mode.
456 - redraw even more characters around characters using careful mode.
457 - made selection-pastebin fully asynchronous.
458 - reduced number of server turnarounds at startup by allocating
459 atoms only once per display.
460 - renamed on_keyboard_command to on_user_command.
461 - changed version sos (ESC [ > c) response to be more compatible with
462 xterm.
463
4647.2 Sun Jan 22 21:58:16 CET 2006
465 - bugfix: urxvt (not urxvtd) did not correctly handle multiple
466 environments necessary, which resulted in segfaults within
467 getenv (reproducable: urxvt -fn 9x15, open a menu once,
468 ctrl-shift-672c).
469 - bugfix: the selection speedup in in 7.1 unfortunately caused
470 non-ascii characters to enlarge/move the selection.
471 - bugfix: resizing sometimes leaked lines from the secondary to
472 the primary screen.
473 - bugfix: reducing window size while large amounts of text were output
474 could lead to an assertion failure.
475 - added "tabbed" extension that provides a crude tabbed terminal.
476 - added "readline" extension that allows cursor positioning
477 via mouse clicks.
478 - now it is possible to insert the value of the CLIPBOARD selection
479 with shift - mouse button 2.
480 - fixed the automove-background extension to ignore coordinates
481 in non-synthetic events.
482 - created a separate libpty for portable and secure
483 pty/tty/utmp/wtmp/lastlog handling, and include it in rxvt-unicode.
484 - the non-terminfo visual bell now works asynchronously, so
485 continuous ASCI BELs in one terminal do no longer monopolise the
486 whole urxvt[d] process.
487 - support some *BSD makes (for the time being, gnu make is a safe bet).
488 - work around bugs in FreeBSD's gcc.
489 - implemented some *BSD fixes in configure.
490 - removed support for obsolete offix dnd protocol.
491
4927.1 Thu Jan 19 20:25:34 CET 2006
493 - setuid/setgid operation is now _encouraged_: security has been
494 improved by moving privileged operations into a separate process
495 and permanently dropping privileges within the terminal. This
496 makes it possible to remove security checks from the perl code
497 and gives a much safer feeling when urxvt needs to run with
498 special privileges.
499 - perl taint checking disabled, as urxvt no longer runs setuid/setgid
500 itself.
501 - new perl extension automove-background that can be used to get
502 the same effect as pseudo-transparency with any pixmap.
503 - new perl extension example: perl/selection-pastebin, can be used to
504 e.g. upload the selection to a webserver and generate a url, or
505 similar stuff.
506 - use the scrollback buffer even when the scroll region doesn't
507 span the whole screen, as long as it starts at row 0. Helps
508 for programs displaying a status line at the bottom.
509 - selection popup now shows selection in dec/hex/oct.
510 - perl/selection: matching on unicode characters in the selection
511 code was O(n²), which equals infinity in some degenerate cases
512 :-> Matching is now done on UTF-8, which makes it almost instant.
513 - perl/selection, perl/selection-autotransform: regexes are now
514 being interpreted in the locale urxvt was started.
515 - implemented override-redirect option and enabled it on menus,
516 as kwin puts our windows behind the terminal (what a shoddy wm).
517 - fixed struct utmp check in configure for OpenBSD.
518 - complete overhaul of the pty/utmp management stuff and configure
519 (Emanuele Giaquinta).
520 - add tsl/fsl and related capabilities to the terminfo description,
521 to set the window title.
522 - swap the environment in some more cases. This hopefully fixes
523 some segfaults that might be caused by xft asking for env variables
524 at the wrong time.
525 - removed src/strings.C and src/menubar.C. No menubar support
526 anymore.
527 - removed all traces of SMOOTH_REFRESH.
528 - nuked QNX support.
529 - made some fixes to xpm offset and scaling code.
530 - perl-overlays and refresh hooks were not applied in correct order.
531 - changed coordinate-system of view_start/nsaved to be top to bottom.
532 - iom extended to support listening for child exits.
533
5347.0 Fri Jan 13 14:02:18 CET 2006
535 - added sections for DISTRIBUTION MAINTAINERS and about
536 SETUID/SETGID to the FAQ.
537 - selection, searchable-scrollback, selection-popup and
538 option-popup extensions enabled by default.
539 - increased xft drawing speed for problematic fonts. The effect
540 will likely be small as 99% of the xft slowness is server-related.
541 - perl: much increased functionality, better overlays, popup support
542 and much much more.
543 - perl: urxvt::line now can set via ->t and ->r.
544 - perl: changed interpretation of --perl-ext-common and -pe.
545 - perl: finally implemented --perl-eval.
546 - perl: non-blocking anyevent support.
547 - perl: run tainted and ignore perl-eval/perl-lib if started
548 setuid/setgid.
549 - free the resource database: this plugs a massive memory leak. As a
550 side effect, it also gets rid of XGetDefault calls.
551 - free one of the cursors, fixes a small memory leak.
552 - built-in (as opposed to terminfos) visual bell was broken/too fast.
553 - applied minor cleanups by Ladislav Michnovic.
554 - applied pty handling cleanups and improvements (Emanuele Giaquinta).
555 - mark-urls launch-on-click by jepler.
556 - removed "small" resource parsing function, as it wasn't really
557 compatible, and not really small either.
558 - removed PATH_ENV and PATH file search support.
559 - removed support for locale-specific app-defaults file.
560 - fixed a bug where out-of-bounds colour sequences could lead
561 to crashes.
562 - limit colour changing to the standard 88 palette instead of all
563 colours.
564 - XTerm_Color01 sequence returned wrong results in query mode.
565 - iom.C now checks against destructed io_manager when unregistering.
566
5676.3 Wed Jan 4 22:37:10 CET 2006
568 - SECURITY FIX: on systems using openpty, permissions were
569 not correctly updated on the tty device and were left as
570 world-readable and world-writable (likely in original rxvt,
571 too), and were not restored properly. Affected are only
572 systems where non-unix ptys were used (such as most BSDs, not
573 GNU/Linux). (found, patched and debugged by Ryan Beasley).
574 - meta8 support was forcefully enabled in most configurations.
575 restored configurability of this (useless) feature (reported
576 by Mikachu).
577 - optionally embed a perl interpreter, which can be used for more
578 intelligent/customized selection support, visual feedback,
579 menus, tabs etc. See the the urxvtperl manpage, the -pe option,
580 perl*-resources and keysym resources. Not everything is there yet.
581 - try to be more clever about differing font sizes and their ascent.
582 Not guarenteed to work, but works better in most cases now.
583 - fix directory permissions on install.
584 - implemented option to disable built-in line drawing characters
585 and fall back to the font ones (patch by Martin Pohlack).
586 - disabled sched_yield support: the linux version is just too useless
587 (it schedules nice'd processes before the own one for extended
588 periods). Too bad, it could reduce system time by a factor of 5 here.
589
5906.2 Mon Jan 2 16:03:01 CET 2006
591 - implemented intensityStyles option which enables/disables bold/blink
592 selecting high intensity foreground/background colours, suggested by
593 Chuck Blake.
594 - move iso14755 character feedback box out of the way if it would
595 obscure the mouse cursor position.
596 - replaced callback.h by a fixed version from gvpe that correctly
597 returns the callback result (affects new -pty-fd semantics in urxvtc
598 on a few architectures). Reported by darix.
599 - include one trailing space in rectangular selections to indicate
600 the inserted newline (yeah, weird, but visually more pleasing).
601 - try to use sched_yield to (drastically) improve terminal data
602 transfer efficiency.
603 - further minor cleanups.
604
6056.1 Tue Dec 27 13:23:40 CET 2005
606 - update iso8859-7 table (euro and drachma round-trip et al.).
607 - fix a crash when the selection scrolls out of the scrollback
608 while the user still drags.
609 - selections that were partially scrolled out of the window were
610 not drawn correctly.
611 - lines newly scrolled in were not initialized properly, leading
612 to extremely long lines and (hopefully) some segfaults.
613 - iso14755 overlay position was wrong.
614 - iso14755 overlay now displays rendition info, too.
615 - use unicode white space class instead of hardcoded values for
616 stripping whitespace.
617 - do whitespace stripping on rectangular selections.
618 - slight cleanups in src/features.h.
619
6206.0 Sat Dec 24 13:58:56 CET 2005
621 - make it compile without SMART_RESIZE again.
622 - enable slow link support by default.
623 - fix relative cursor-positioning not respecting scrolling regions
624 (also a bug in original rxvt).
625 - initialize termios structure to zero when fetching it fails
626 (see http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=84647 for a
627 partial patch).
628 - bump max columns/rows to 10000 each.
629 - bump max savelines to 10000000.
630 - -pty-fd now passes the urxvtc fd to the urxvtd process.
631 - avoid linking against -lnsl/-lsocket/-lxpg4 unless neccessary.
632 - major code cleanup (still not complete, though).
633 - implement -hold option.
634 - _major_ rewrite of internal buffer handling:
635 - re-flow on resize, lines get wrapped instead of winged.
636 - circular line buffer (substantially speeds up scrolling).
637 - slightly less code + data memory usage per terminal.
638 - slight overall speed improvements.
639 - considerably improved code clarity.
640 - partial-screen scrolls no longer end up in the scrollback
641 buffer.
642
6435.9 Sat Dec 17 21:53:17 CET 2005
644 - fix a bug in the menu code of unknown impact, found by darix.
645 - clean up signal handling to be global, not per terminal
646 (matters only for rxvtd).
647 - fix small typoe in rxvt.1 (found by Mike Fabian).
648 - don't crash when broken xft/fontconfig/freetype versions return
649 bogus data, ignore the xft font instead (experienced on suse).
650
6515.8 Tue Oct 25 22:21:45 CEST 2005
652 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: many configure options are now on by default.
653 If you want the old behaviour, try:
654 configure --disable-everything <your enable options>
655 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: -fade changed it's meaning to comply with
656 the documentation and common sense: when upgrading, replace your
657 percentage by 100-percentage.
658 - integrated "fade to specific colour" patch by Martin Parm.
659 - slow down the internal visual bell (delay by 20ms) and update
660 the terminfo flash code to use the same delay. This is
661 synchronous, so many bells might inhibit screen updates in other
662 windows.
663 - text with background==foreground colour gets displayed with default
664 bg/fg now when in reverse video, so it can be seen when selecting.
665 - allow koi8r* as x11 encoding name for koi8r (Nikita Danilov).
666 - removed undocumented inheritPixmapforce option.
667 - replaced INSTALL file.
668
6695.7 Wed Jul 13 04:46:33 CEST 2005
670 - implement some useful (hopefully) options for rxvtd.
671 - separate and improved rxvtc(1) and rxvtd(1) manpages.
672 - fix a bug that caused segfaults on startup on systems that do
673 not support local unix connections, e.g cygwin. (btw, I didn't
674 even know about the -rootless and -multiwindow Cygwin/X modes).
675 - large amounts of text without control sequences or newlines
676 could almost freeze output. This has been fixed by adding extra
677 refreshes in these cases (also a problem in original rxvt).
678
6795.6 Sun Jun 26 22:11:13 CEST 2005
680 - R_SB_RXVT bitset value was 0, so rxvt scrollbar was initialised
681 every time resulting in display errors (original rxvt also affected).
682 Reported by Jasmin Buchert.
683 - font names are now considered to be utf-8 encoded (xft apperently
684 uses this convention. X Core fonts might not, but it should be rare).
685 Affects display in iso14755 box.
686 - rewrote the low-level xft drawing function ("xft backend" for the
687 hipper parts of the world) to hopefully cope better with proportional
688 chars mixed with fixed-width ones.
689 - rxvt is now much more careful (read: slower) with potentially
690 overlapping xft characters. It usually overshoots and redraws
691 more than required, but that's better than undershooting and
692 cutting pieces off of characters.
693 - rxvt is now more restrictive in what font heights it accepts for
694 fonts that will likely overshoot or undershoot lines.
695 - fix a cosmetic problem with the unfocused cursor on a wide character
696 at the end of the line (reported by Mikachu).
697 - wide characters not fitting into the end of the line will be
698 output in the next line (reported by Mikachu).
699 - added doc/solaris9.patch by Ewgenij Starostin.
700
7015.5 Sat Apr 23 22:31:36 CEST 2005
702 - re-enabled modifer state matching as in 5.3, but implement
703 a new builtin: keysym style that simply reverts to the built-in
704 meaning of the given key.
705 - use scrollcolor for next scrollbar instead of hardcoded antiquewhite
706 (patch by Martin Edlman).
707
7085.4 Mon Apr 18 00:33:31 CEST 2005
709 - match modifier state exactly in custom keyboard code.
710 this is necessary because it has no knowledge about
711 built-in mappings and so will overwrite them. the priority-code
712 will be re-enabled when this has changed, so watch out.
713 - cursor blinking now depends on frills.
714 - underline cursor mode (frills, -uc).
715 - implement special value (*g*) for pointerBlankDelay
716 to disable it.
717
7185.3 Sun Mar 13 00:20:44 CET 2005
719 - fix a bug that allowed to overflow a buffer via a long
720 escape sequence, which is probably exploitable (fix by
721 Rob Holland / Yoann Vandoorselaere / Gentoo Audit Team).
722 - Custom key mappings no longer confuse mouse buttons
723 with modifiers.
724 - use XmbSetWMProperties instead of XSetWMProperties.
725 - properly update WM_LOCALE.
726 - implement _NET_WM_PING protocol.
727 - implemented escape sequences to move the scrollback buffer view
728 and clear the scrollback buffer.
729
7305.2 Sun Feb 20 01:48:59 CET 2005
731 - new option -pty-fd that makes the terminal a slave
732 that uses an existing pty for I/O instead of starting
733 a command.
734 - implement enough of XEMBED to allow for correct focus.
735 - added doc/embed-tk, an embedding example in Perl/Tk,
736 and doc/rxvt-tabbed, a primitive tabbed shell implemented
737 in Perl/Gtk2.
738 - fix assertion failure ("crash") on mousewheel-scrolling
739 when the terminal height is small, by removing the assert.
740 (reported by Mikael Magnusson).
741 - SYNCCVS. backported bugfixes done to rxvt
742 (sourceforge bugs #1028739, #1028732), except for
743 pts/%s fix as it seems to collide with freebsd,
744 and sourceforge bug #954654, which is not neccessary.
745 - change terminfo file to not clobber G1 when using
746 line-drawing characters, as this seems to mess
747 with EUC-JP (it will clobber G0, but G0 practically
748 needs to be US-ASCII all the time).
749 - toggle default application keypad/cursor mode to help
750 some apps who fail to set the correct mode.
751 - check for WM_PROTOCOLS type in ClientMessage as to
752 not destroy the window for other types of messages.
753 - remove shared library (or any library) support - it is
754 of no use currently (and -embed is a better way to embed
755 rxvt-unicode).
756 - get rid of the intpro files.
757
7585.1 Tue Feb 15 17:13:27 CET 2005
759 - fix a bug when parsing fontnames and another one
760 for empty keymaps which could result in crashes
761 (Kuang-che Wu).
762 - new option: -embed (frills). somebody could write a simple
763 tk script to make a tab'able terminal now...
764 - only warn on X errors and _try_ to continue (frills).
765 - add COPYING back, which got lost somehow.
766 - after deciding that LSM is dead, remove all traces of it,
767 along with other, similar, cleanups.
768 - _try_ to react sensibly to some non-monotonic time changes.
769 - don't crash in urxvtc when getcwd fails (reported by Paco-Paco).
770 - tweak font searching algorithm a bit to be faster and more
771 compatible with older rxvt-unicode versions when multiple fonts
772 match (reported by Paco-Paco).
773 - urxvtd tries to stay in "/" whenever possible.
774
7755.0 Fri Feb 11 18:31:48 CET 2005
776 - document a race-free hack to start urxvtd.
777 - document all(?) environment variables used and set by rxvt.
778 - bring xgetdefault-style resource file ordering more in line with
779 Xt, and document it in rxvt(1).
780 - correctly use screen-dependent resources when --enable-xgetdefault,
781 and also fix some memory bugs (thanks to Thierry Reding for
782 his patience and time in tracking this down).
783 - bring own resource parsing more in line with X resource parsing,
784 most notably, don't remove double quotes.
785 - compile fix for freebsd (no ut_id) (Thierry Thomas).
786 - clean up utmp and pty on X I/O errors and signals (idea
787 by Joël Riou).
788 - "un"document -xrm, it never really worked, was only
789 available with --enable-xgetdefault, is not necessary
790 and is surprisingly hard to implement.
791 - shaved off some code segment size.
792 - various code cleanups.
793 - more keysym-mapping fixes.
794
7954.9 Thu Feb 3 09:52:03 CET 2005
796 - nuke out utmp entries completely. Should be fixed in
797 original rxvt, too. (reported by James Michael Fultz).
798 - resizes wil now correctly refresh the displayed text when
799 -pixmap is active.
800 - new option/resource imFont.
801 - document --tripleclickwords/-tcw.
802 - select logical instead of physical lines when doing a triple-click.
803 - reordered help listing to group similar options together.
804 - handle SIGINT the same way as SIGTERM (reported by Joël Riou).
805 - fix a bug introduced while applying the keyboard patch
806 (WU Fengguang).
807 - document all window-op sequences (rxvt.7.) and more keysym
808 examples (rxvt.1).
809 - removed src/test completely.
810 - renamed keysym 'proto:'-prefix to 'command:'.
811
8124.8 Tue Jan 18 02:23:57 CET 2005
813 - added a patch by WU Fengguang that makes the keyboard
814 highly configurable (e.g. locale changes, custom escape
815 sequences, and more). See keysym resource in rxvt(1).
816 - remove default key sequence for unknown keys again, as this
817 can be achieved by customizing the keyboard now.
818 - fix some freeing problems when destroying the rxvt_display,
819 resulting in segfaults.
820 - don't crash when the saved cursor position doesn't fit on the
821 screen (wrong assert in original rxvt, reported by ikaro).
822 - fix signed/unsigned bugs on wc<->mb conversions.
823 - reset slipwheel scrolling speed when reaching the top or bottom
824 (Mikael Magnusson).
825 - for core fonts, use ascent + descent when a font is loaded,
826 and PIXEL_SIZE when not. when loading a font, iterate until a
827 font has been found that _really_ fits the height (reported and
828 tested by Olivier Wittenberg).
829 - set IUTF8 input flag, when defined (linux-2.6.5+).
830 - only define _XOPEN_SOURCE on solaris.
831 - autogenerate src/* dependency list.
832 - fixed linespace option, which ought to work now (and is dependent
833 on frills, not on it's own configure option).
834 - include pty.h, if available (cygwin).
835 - removed W11 directory from dist, it wasn't used anyway.
836 - initialize the locale much earlier.
837 - fixed two tiny per-instance memory leaks.
838
8394.7 Wed Dec 29 20:54:24 CET 2004
840 - fix a bug in the event logic that could cause the temrinal to be
841 black on initial startup.
842 - do NOT call XCloseIM, ever. This causes way to many crashes due to
843 races in the protocol and within Xlib.
844 - map iso-left-tab to the same sequence as shift-tab.
845 - generate a unique escape sequence for many unknown keys, such as
846 additional multimedia keys.
847 - mask out high (non-unicode) bits on wide characters, to cope with
848 implementations that store tag info in the high bits.
849
8504.6 Thu Dec 16 07:54:23 CET 2004
15 - try very hard not to exhaust the kernel tty buffers, even 851 - try very hard not to exhaust the kernel tty buffers, even
16 if it slows down large pastes and is only cosmetic. 852 if it slows down large pastes and is only cosmetic.

21 turnarounds would be much faster, but impossible to implement(?). 855 turnarounds would be much faster, but impossible to implement(?).
22 - do not use XSETROOTPMAP_ID anymore, support ESETROOT_PMAP_ID
23 instead.
24 - implement underlineColor resource when ENABLE_FRILLS. 856 - implement underlineColor resource when ENABLE_FRILLS.
25 - iom left it's signal pipe handle open in the child 857 - iom left it's signal pipe handle open in the child

862 - fix a crash in rxvtd when the last window was being closed
863 (reported by hednod).
864 - fix an unlikely memory leak.
865 - fix atom name enumeration.
28 866
294.5 Mon Dec 13 07:47:16 CET 2004 8674.5 Mon Dec 13 07:47:16 CET 2004
