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.
6WISH: keyboard modification via esc-sequences. 9TODO: slow drag selection on remote display - other things seem fast (rxvt illness, motion hints?)
7WISH: line-rewrapping on resize 10TODO: better resource handling for tabbar in -pe tabbed.
8WISH: hotkey font resizing (possible via keymaps) 11WISH: investigate -pe tabbed -g 80x25 being 23 not 24 or 25 lines
9WISH: searchable backlog 12 => when setting the constraints, the wm might (correctly)
10WISH: meta-tagging of data by regex (my dream project) 13 resize the outer window, which might result in a smaller window overall.
11WISH: double-click: more intelligent (urls etc.) 14 or something like that. guys, send me a patch.
12WISH: OnTheSpot editing. 15WISH: coloured pastebin
13WISH: tabbed windows (hey, just use screen...) 16WISH: load system-wide config file even if we don't have one
14WISH: just for fun, do shade and tint with XRender. 17WISH: look into XAddConnectionWatch, does anybody need that?
18DUMB: support tex fonts
19TODO: decrqm http://ue.tst.eu/71d7dbd1fcfeaa7d2a4b96eb957d570c.txt
20TODO: perl-shell-window? perl-unix-socket?
21TODO: command line editing when icanon?
22
23 - fix rendering of double width chars in certain circumstances,
24 more likely to happen if urxvt is compiled with 256 colors
25 support. Fixes gentoo bug #358151 (Emanuele Giaquinta).
26
279.11 Mon May 2 10:34:46 CEST 2011
28 - fix compilation on GNU/Hurd, debian bug #624736.
29 - remove 'list' syntax for keysym resources, as it serves no useful purpose.
30 If you need it, poke us and provide a use case.
31 - fix alpha channel support. Premultiply alpha in colours if the visual
32 supports an alpha channel, as xrender expects premultiplied alpha
33 (Emanuele Giaquinta).
34 - fix reply to a selection request sent by an obsolete client
35 such as syncterm (patch by Marcin Cieslak).
36 - fix crash when the window is resized and the overlay is active
37 (Emanuele Giaquinta, reported by Ryan Kavanagh).
38 - match character-wise rather than byte-wise in selection
39 extension again. perl 5.8.9+ is required to avoid extreme
40 slowdowns. Fixes debian bugs #523072, #616463.
41 - fix a possible crash if the INCR transfer process for a
42 selection property timeouts and at least one chunk is
43 received. (Emanuele Giaquinta)
44 - work around a memory corruption bug in xorg's XrmSetDatabase (apparently
45 broken since http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/xorg-commit-diffs/2004-March/000239.html).
46 - fix memory corruption bug when custom command sequences bound to keys
47 were injected into an already-full pty input buffer.
48 - gdk-pixbuf is autodetected by default and preferred over libafterimage.
49 - do not prepend a newline to the selection text when the starting line
50 of the selection is not highlighted (Emanuele Giaquinta).
51 - don't swap perl env with real env, save and restore it, just in case
52 we ever get recursive perl invocations. also saves a bit of codespace
53 with gcc.
54 - fix various memory leaks (Emanuele Giaquinta).
55 - fix typo in kIC terminfo capability, debian bug #446444.
56 - document 'thickness' resource.
57 - fix debian bug #504817, to the extent possible.
58 - try to detect byte order at compile time, saves a couple of
59 hundred bytes, if your compiler is smart enough.
60 - add support for previewing the pasted data in confirm-paste
61 (Emanuele Giaquinta).
62 - added "newlines to spaces" option in selection-popup.
63 - actually enabled solaris event ports backend (was disabled by accident).
64 - revert to 38400 baud max., mission accomplished.
65 - no longer create scary "pty_fill: PLEASE REPORT" message, instead,
66 silently drain the input (problem is well understood now).
67 - no longer swallow rob nation's own graphics mode commands.
68
699.10 Mon Dec 13 17:43:52 CET 2010
70 - the "schmorp=north korea dickey=south korea" release.
71 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: make OSC 20 simpler and more correct
72 (Emanuele Giaquinta).
73 - if options were compiled out, this could lead to the option
74 count to be defined wrongly. This is likely behind the
75 failures with gcc 4.5.
76 - explicitly depend on fontconfig and xrender when xft support
77 is enabled. Although the public Xft api uses types from
78 both, in Xft 2.2.0 these libs are private
79 dependencies only thanks to an idiotic behaviour of
80 pkg-config that was added to workaround cases like this one.
81 Fixes linking when using GNU ld with --as-needed or GNU gold
82 (based on patch by Jan Palus).
83 - fix minor memory leaks in urxvt and urxvtd.
84 - fix regression in urxvtd that prevented options from being correctly
85 set (reported by Michal Vaner).
86 - implement xterm's horribly broken 1005 mouse reporting mode,
87 and an alternative 1015 mode that works in non-utf-8 locales
88 and has fewer limitations.
89 - fix a possible bug where mouse notifications didn't work after
90 startup for the upper left corner.
91 - implement our own pixbuf to pixmap rendering to get rid of
92 dependency on buggy gdk-pixbuf-xlib. Only truecolor visuals
93 are supported (Emanuele Giaquinta).
94 - apply tinting before shading when both operations are requested.
95 Previously they were intermixed when lightening and the result
96 was inaccurate and confusing. Note that now a black tint yields a
97 completely black image, regardless of shading (Emanuele Giaquinta).
98 - avoid spurious redraws of the bg image when bg is transparent or
99 when using 'root' mode (Emanuele Giaquinta).
100 - fix build on XFree86.
101 - dynamically number options according to compiletime requirements.
102 For the extra saved byte. Or so. Yay.
103 - start options at one, not zero. Wastes a bit per terminal. Maybe.
104 saves 50 instruction bytes. Possibly.
105
1069.09 Sat Nov 13 01:39:07 CET 2010
107 - NOTICE: this release updates terminfo/termcap.
108 - the bestest release ever.
109 - it was verified that urxvt handles µ and μ correctly.
110 - add support for blending and blurring with XRender (Emanuele Giaquinta).
111 - add support for using gdk-pixbuf as image backend (Emanuele Giaquinta).
112 - cleanup and minor fixes of the image code (Emanuele Giaquinta).
113 - new perl extension "confirm-paste" (Emanuele Giaquinta).
114 - new on_tt_paste perl hook and tt_paste perl binding (Emanuele Giaquinta).
115 - new on_bell perl hook (Emanuele Giaquinta).
116 - searchable-scrollback no longer ignores the first line
117 (Emanuele Giaquinta).
118 - properly set VSTATUS in termios for *BSD (reported by Ed Schouten).
119 - fix utmpx detection on upcoming FreeBSD 9.
120 - Use COMPOUND_TEXT encoding for WM_NAME/WM_ICON_NAME value when it
121 is not fully convertible to STRING (patch by James Cloos).
122 - fix a buffer overflow that would cause wrong key sequences to
123 be generated for numpad keys (introduced in 9.05).
124 - fix definition of sgr0 to work around limitations in luit.
125 - extend ISO 14755 5.4 mode to also print the font name of the
126 characters other than first one in the selected cell
127 (Emanuele Giaquinta).
128 - new iso14755 option to disable ISO 14755 at runtime
129 (Emanuele Giaquinta).
130 - make sure pagewise scrolling scrolls at least one line
131 (found by Mikachu).
132 - remove deprecated OSC 18 / 19 and make OSC 17 / 19 apply to
133 highlightColor / highlightTextColor (Emanuele Giaquinta).
134 - add highlightTextColor resource to change the foreground colour of
135 highlighted characters (Emanuele Giaquinta).
136 - make highlightColor apply also to selected cells with reverse video
137 but not to non selected cells with reverse video (Emanuele Giaquinta).
138 - remove colorRV resource (it was enabled only with frills off).
139 - fix numlock handling, the most longstanding bug to date (Emanuele Giaquinta).
140 - reduce the number of custom bits to 4, to make room
141 for 256 colours.
142 - add support for 256 colors (Emanuele Giaquinta, Marc Lehmann).
143 - add rxvt-unicode-256color terminfo and use it by default in 256 colors mode.
144 - update rxvt-unicode terminfo to state 7744 colour pairs to cover all
145 88*88 possible pairs.
146 - actually added macosx-clipboard-native, which should have been in
147 the 9.07 release but had been forgotten.
148 - fix hang if DECAWM is not set and there are not enough columns to insert a
149 character (Emanuele Giaquinta).
150 - cub1 ("backspace") will now respect wrapping when past the rightmost column,
151 working around a shortcoming of most tty line discipline's line editing.
152 - add support for grabbing the clipboard selection and extend
153 selection{_clear,_grab,} perl bindings to optionally work
154 on the clipboard selection (based on patch by Dana Jansens).
155 - no longer force CERASE to BACKSPACE - use the system default. affects
156 default value for VERASE only when no compatible setting for
157 backspacekey was given.
158 - use higher than 38400 baudrate setting, if detected.
159 - erase screen would clear to the wrong background when blinking
160 was enabled (which selects high intensity under some circumstances).
161 - scr_kill_char didn't touch the line.
162 - upgrade and port to libev-4.01.
163 - enabled solaris event ports and kqueue backends (if available).
164
1659.07 Wed Dec 30 07:07:18 CET 2009
166 - port to glibc-2.10 changes (strchr etc. returning const char *
167 in C++), based on patches by Milos Jakubicek and Oliver Mader.
168 - the binary search algorithm to find precomposed characters
169 was faulty, skipping some possible combinations (found by
170 Mikachu).
171 - new -letterspace option, patch by Mark H. Wilkinson.
172 - enable --mlock option for urxvt with frills on
173 systems supporting it (patch by Russell Harmon).
174 - urxvt did not compile without frills enabled
175 (analysed by Matthew Rosewarne).
176 - correctly reset the mbstate after an illegal
177 input sequence when handling terminal output (Emanuele Giaquinta).
178 - avoid redrawing wide characters with combining enabled on every
179 refresh (reported by Mikachu).
180 - fix a typo preventing the ISO-646.1991 character set from being
181 recognized (http://achurch.org/patch-pile/).
182 - better warning for x11 font encoding detection failures, also,
183 try to deduce encoding from both font properties and name
184 (adapted from http://achurch.org/patch-pile/).
185 - resizing the window with the scrollbar disabled via the escapes
186 sequence could make the window bigger again (Mikachu).
187 - make sure the alignment for fd passing control messages
188 is correct and work around some NetBSD issues (Taylor R Campbell).
189 - update to libptytty 1.3.
190 - replace macosx-clipboard by a nicer version by Reza Jelveh, and move
191 the old version to macosx-clipboard-native.
192 - document the -uc option (Emanuele Giaquinta).
193 - assertions in libev are now enabled depending on frills.
194 - update AnyEvent implementation to version 5.23 API.
195 - work around arrogant bsd idiocies again: netbsd spills the default
196 namespace with lots of symbols "for gnu/gcc compatibility" even
197 though neither of them does it, and then calls the rest of the world
198 in need of fixing. go figure.
199 - on_keyboard_command is on_user_command (patch by Michael Witten).
200 - setting the selection from perl will now reset the selection screen
201 to the current screen. the screen can be manipulated using
202 the new ->selection_screen method.
203 - implement --enable-assert configure option and get rid of DEBUG_STRICT
204 (based on patch by Emanuele Giaquinta).
205 - fix printpipe data output (patch by Emanuele Giaquinta).
206 - allow `xxx' quoting style for perl selection.
207 - upgrade to libev-3.9 prerelease.
208 - updated compose tables to unicode 5.2.0.
209
2109.06 Sat Nov 8 17:47:18 CET 2008
211 - NOTICE: this release updates terminfo/termcap.
212 - updates libev to 3.48.
213 - the aterm code now frees the as visual and image manager objects
214 when a window was closed.
215 - do not (wrongly) adjust the virtual line length inside
216 scr_insdel_chars/ERASE (Miroslav Lichvar).
217 - fix an issue where wide tab characters caused character shifts
218 when part of them was deleted (tracked down by Miroslav Lichvar).
219 - artificially enlargen the previous character at the end of a line
220 when trying to output a character that doesn't fit. looks ugly, but
221 makes copy&paste work.
222 - remove bogus "setuid/setgid security issues" from rxvt.1.pod, they
223 no longer apply.
224 - the urgency hint is now cleared on both focus in and focus out.
225 - cache urgency hint locally to avoid server rtt on every focus change.
226 - perl 5.10 needs PERL_SYS_INIT3 on hppa.
227 - ignore byte-order marks and do not treat them like combining characters.
228 - fix build issue when CURSOR_BLINK is not defined (Emanuele Giaquinta).
229 - do some µ-optimisations to the character fast path.
230 - use a less cunning, but more robust algorithm to avoid one terminal
231 monopolising the whole process by outputting a lot of text.
232 - try to work around linux first breaking sched_yield and now breaking
233 the only known workaround.
234 - new option -icon to set _NET_WM_ICON (based on patch by Frank Schmitt).
235 - initialise the as visual only on demand, instead of unconditionally,
236 to save memory in the common case of not using visual gimmicks.
237 - try to work around bugs in a few wm's that erroneously resize
238 client windows on hint property updates by temporarily
239 disabling size hints.
240 - implement the DECSTR soft reset sequence and use it for tput init,
241 and make hard RIS and DECSTR both reset more private modes, such
242 as mouse reporting.
243 - redundantly clear mouse reporting and a few other states in
244 tput init/tput reset, for older urxvts.
245 - partial/full clear screens did cause flickering and possibly pixel
246 droppings when urxvt viewed the scrollback buffer.
247 - use current rendition style in DCH sequence.
248 - the 132/80 mode switch no longer forces a screen reset.
249 - add an osc sequence to change the border colour (Emanuele Giaquinta).
250 - new perl extension "overlay-osc", for status displays and the like.
251 - fix some minor cursor drawing issues with overlays by allowing
252 overlays to modify screen flags (to disable the cursor themselves).
253 - work around programs not restoring rstyle before rmcup
254 (analysed by Miroslav Lichvar).
255
2569.05 Sun Jun 15 20:09:20 CEST 2008
257 - new option --cd/chdir to set the starting working directory.
258 - tabbed extension now starts in the "correct" working directory.
259 - work around fedora 9 providing isastream but not the relevant
260 header file for it (report by Tuncer Ayaz).
261 - upgrade libev, fixing a bug in the select backend.
262 with more than 31 file descriptors on non-linux 64 bit systems.
263 - correctly reset the multibyte state to the initial one
264 after EILSEQ (patch by Neil Booth). This fixes the
265 issue of rxvt-unicode not properly displaying text after an illegal
266 sequence on NetBSD and probably other systems.
267 - more intelligent property handling with -pe tabbed, works around
268 broken window managers (kwm et al.), saves bandwidth and should
269 help working window managers as well.
270 - made tabs moveable (based on a patch by Petr Machata).
271 - implement ESC [ 3 K as a more rational alternative to ESC [ 0 K.
272 - support relative paths for RXVT_SOCKET in urxvtd.
273 - the tabbed extension now blindly copies over all (rxvt-) resources
274 from the toplevel window to the children.
275 - better diagnostic on 0x0 window geometries.
276 - update AnyEvent API to version 3.4 and above.
277 - document the default value of :0 for DISPLAY.
278 - rename perl method XChangeWindowProperty to XChangeProperty.
279
2809.02 Tue Jan 29 11:58:36 CET 2008
281 - the "exg makes everybody happy" release.
282 - fix build with !xft.
283 - always compile in plain style scrollbar (simplifies code and looks great).
284
2859.01 Sat Jan 26 20:49:27 CET 2008
286 - be more aggressive about handling X events, this seems to be required
287 with newer xlibs (should fix the "screen stays black until event is
288 received" problem, again :)
289 - add buffered resource to control xft double-buffering.
290
2919.0 Fri Jan 25 19:34:04 CET 2008
292 - fix a crash bug where urxvtd would crash when urxvtc was called
293 with wrong arguments (I wish debian maintainers in general would
294 report bugs and their proposed fixes to the original package maintainers
295 instead of sitting on them for good measure to see if anybody notices).
296 - drawing xft compose characters was causing garbage to be drawn.
297 - correctly clear xft character background in all cases.
298 - implement bracketed paste mode (xterm private mode 2004).
299 - improve documentation on alpha channel handling, make urxvt
300 work better on servers lacking the RENDER extension when alpha
301 channels or background images are used.
302 - check for refresh after initialising to avoid staying blank
303 till the first event arrives. or so.
304 - the FORCE_UNBUFFERED_XFT feature macro works again.
305 - continuously update transparency while moving/resizing now.
306 - OSC 39/49 are deprecated and aliased to OSC 10/11.
307 - cub1 now acts as advertised (and ignores the "wrapped" state).
308 - the 132/80 mode switch now forces a height of 24, too, and
309 resets the terminal.
310 - scrollbar code cleanups.
311 - stopping children is no longer confused with children exiting.
312 - removed (undocumented) #aarrggbb format.
313 - updated to libev 3.0.
314
3158.9 Mon Dec 24 07:51:40 CET 2007
316 - fix the issue where urxvtd would not immediately close a window
317 when the command exited but only on the next X event.
318 - changed terminfo file not to use application keypad mode.
319 - fix the issue where making a selection in one urxvtd window
320 would not clear it visually in another.
321 - fix an issue of urxvt not getting background pixmap updates
322 and flickering after bg pixmap changes (reported by Mikachu).
323 - fix redraw bug in xterm scrollbar with -sr (reported by Mikachu).
324 - correctly provide dependencies for libev (µikachu).
325 - minor code reorganisations and cleanups.
326 - be more robust in case the urxvt-popup extension cannot be loaded.
327
3288.8 Sat Dec 15 19:40:39 CET 2007
329 - option -C was aliased to all unsupported options, activating
330 options that shouldn't be compiled in, leading to interesting
331 effects.
332 - updated libev, working around a bug in linux 2.4, curing the
333 symptom of urxvt not closing its window on shell exit. also
334 fixes a problem with urxvt not refreshing.
335 - the text blink callback was called even when no blinking
336 text was visible.
337 - pre-8.4 slipwheeling behaviour has been reinstated, with
338 some minor improvements.
339 - streamlined x events processing to only flush once per
340 display and not once per terminal window.
341 - quite a bit of minor code cleanups and codesize optimisations.
342
3438.7 Sun Nov 25 10:23:49 CET 2007
344 - update libev with an important bugfix that would cause crashes
345 when closing windows (when using rxvtd, and update is recommended).
346 - do not compile in the block builtin graphics with --disable-frills.
347
3488.6 Fri Nov 23 14:10:57 CET 2007
349 - upgrade libev to disable kqueue on anything but netbsd as it
350 seems to be broken everywhere else w.r.t. ptys.
351 - allow for spurious event notifications, as at least epoll and
352 especially solaris ports like to lie about them (symptoms:
353 urxvt "hangs" until there is some x11 related activity).
354 - -keysym command line options are now subjected to xlib parsing.
355 - add 'xrm' option analogous to Xt one.
356
3578.5a Wed Nov 21 10:16:33 CET 2007
358 - make it compile with --disable-transparency.
359
3608.5 Wed Nov 21 05:19:20 CET 2007
361 - expect major portability issues in this release: please test and report.
362 - converted from the veritable io manager event loop to
363 the high performance libev (http://software.schmorp.de/pkg/libev).
364 - minor tuning to the perl selection (include single words and more quoting chars).
365 - fix memory leak in pixmap code.
366 - fix a serious bug while setting the XIM destroy callback
367 on (typical) 64 bit systems.
368 - automove-background functionality re-implemented internally using :root op in pixmap
369 geometry string. For example: rxvt -pixmap "image.jpg;:root"
370 - do not link rxvtc against every lib on the planet anymore.
371 - parallel builds should work once more.
372
3738.4 Sat Oct 27 14:02:13 CEST 2007
374 - overhaul of the transparency/pixmap code (sasha).
375 - fix possible race between visual bell and poweron.
376 (reported by Martin von Gagern, gentoo?).
377 - urxvt -e no longer crashes the child.
378 - fixed some minor memleaks on incorrect usage or
379 missing DISPLAY.
380 - implement xterm 1002/1003 mouse tracking modes (exg).
381 - source code organisational cleanups (exg).
382 - updated io_manager.
383
3848.3 Wed Aug 1 20:21:31 CEST 2007
385 - new option: skipScroll/-ss, enabled by default.
386 - go with the times and expect x11 library files in /usr/lib, not
387 /usr/X11R6/lib.
388 - initial transparency improvement/afterimage support
389 patch by Sasha Vasko.
390 - add urgentOnBell resource to set the urgency hint
391 (patch by Philip Paeps).
392 - do not process focus events caused by grabs
393 (patch by Mikachu).
394 - add iso14755_52 resource to disable iso14755 5.2 (exg).
395 - add binding for backspace in iso14755 5.1 to remove the last
396 digit (exg).
397 - better option handling, support more than 30 options (exg).
398 - nuke reconf script, serves no purpose anymore.
399 - fixed and documented matcher/on_user_command processing in matcher
400 extension (tpope).
401 - compile out of the box on Solaris 10 (exg).
402 - fix MappingNotify events (reported by Stephan Walter).
403 - zero-initialise mwmhints, this seems to solve all sorts of minor
404 problems.
405
4068.2 Sat Feb 17 21:35:28 CET 2007
407 - fix make depend in src/, reported by exg.
408 - fixed typo in urxvt::GET_CUSTOM, causing the result to be wrong.
409 (patch by Sergey Vlasov).
410 - unbundled iom perl interface somewhat.
411 - scrollbar-xterm now uses the selected scrollColor instead of fg
412 (found by Aiviru).
413 - disabled linux kernel bug workaround again: disabling it gives
414 a 50% speed hit on affected machines, while enabling it gives
415 a similar speed hit to screen, which is likely the more common
416 case to work around for :/
417 - urxvt::rend2mask perl function, and utilization of it by matcher
418 (patch by Moshe Kamensky).
419 - use perl:matcher on a keysym to open most recently displayed URL.
420 - with matcher, when multiple patterns match, last wins, not first.
421 - fix make and make install with srcdir != builddir (exg).
422 - updated bundled libptytty to fix a bug where the tty would be kept
423 open (see the libptytty ChangeLog for details).
424 - delay setting the IUTF8 flag to after the tty settings have been
425 set so its value does not get lost (reported and analysed by Andrei
426 Paskevich).
427 - rip out support for obsolete sgtty.h interface.
428 - rip out support for non-POSIX termios variants.
429 - update libptytty.
430 - update iom.C, make it call ptytty::sanitise_stdfd on init.
431 - when !XFT, change rounding of colours to use a less correct formula to
432 meet user expectancies (#aaa becomes #a000a000a000 not #9f9f9f9f9f9f).
433 - change the starting offset of the pixmap set with backgroundPixmap
434 from (50,50) to (0,0) (exg).
435 - fix a typo in button_release, now meta-button2 request the value of
436 the Clipboard selection as it should (patch by Serge Koksharov).
437 - fix a bug in drawing a cell with a nonspacing char when using an xft
438 font with inheritPixmap and tintColor (exg).
439
4408.1 Thu Dec 7 22:27:25 CET 2006
441 - ｹﾘｽﾏｽﾌ゚ﾚｾ゙ﾝﾄ - zomg!!1, it's too early!!!
442 - fix the assumption that chars < 256 are single-width. Now
443 only assume this for codepoints 32 to 126 (reported by Dai.H.).
444 - $term->strwidth returned wide chars as width 1, because some jerk
445 confused min and max. Fixing this also fixes xim-onthespot.
446 Reported by Takano Akio.
447 - secondaryScroll is now enabled by default (as per the manpage),
448 reported by exg.
449 - correct the description of [percent]color rgba format in the manpage.
450 - incorporated macosx-clipboard extension by Samuel Ljungkvist.
451 - ignore (some) useless focus events (reported by mmc).
452 - updated compose table to unicode 5.0.0.
453
4548.0 Thu Nov 2 18:35:19 CET 2006
455 - combining characters cleared the area instead of creating an overlay,
456 thus losing the ability to draw combining characters properly in most
457 circumstances (reported by exg).
458 - specified fonts were incorrectly morphed to bold/italic according to the
459 basefont, even if explicitly specified (tracked down by tpope).
460 - fixed urxvt::strwidth to calculate width in the same way as screen.C.
461 - fix a crash caused by passing negative widths to overlay functions.
462 - added 'matcher' extension by tpope, replacing the mark-urls extension.
463 - improve url regex to match anything www.* (tpope).
464 - fixed bug with outline cursor color being wrong after xft fonts.
465 - update to libptytty-1.0.
466 - give proper diagnostic when RXVT_SOCKET is too long instead of
467 corrupting the stack (patch by exg).
468 - display current terminal locale in option menu.
469 - urxvtd no longer crashes when the client sends an inaccessible
470 working directory (reported by Roland Baer, possibly fixes gentoo
471 bug #143985).
472 - fixed many minor issues reported by Roland Baer.
473 - Leonid Khramov spotted a minor glitch in rxvtfont.C that
474 should not have any consequences, but was buggy nonetheless.
475 - manpage fix by exg.
476
4777.9 Mon Aug 7 18:16:07 CEST 2006
478 - fix the crashing bug people encountered with 7.8 + urxvtd + perl
479 + transparency. Ought to fix debian bug #380348.
480 - fix urxvtc.1.pod: it actually claimed -pty-fd would not work. But
481 it does! :->
482 - rxvt_fatal() in case the locale string is too long for our static buffer.
483 - fixed many, many, typos in the manpages (patch supplied by ves).
484
4857.8 Mon Jul 17 21:00:46 CEST 2006
486 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: this version will always read ~/.Xdefaults,
487 earlier versions only read it if display-resources (usually from
488 .Xresources) are not set. This avoids the #1 FAQ ("why isn't my
489 resource used") and seems to be logical behaviour, too. .Xdefaults
490 resources have a lower priority than display-specific resources.
491 - add "kuake" perl extension that does a similar thing to the kuake
492 terminal emulator (see man urxvtperl).
493 - use less "correct" color scaling that is compatible with libX11 and
494 Xft (avoids off-by-one colors resulting in striped backgrounds).
495 - the "depth" resource is now respected.
496 - preset the searchable-scrollback pattern with "(?i)" to default search
497 to case-insensitivity. Will automatically be cleared when typing an
498 uppercase character.
499 - add FORCE_UNBUFFERED_XFT define to features.h.
500 - re-enabled highlightcolor support with --enable-frills, based on
501 a patch by Martin Stubenschrott.
502 - double-buffered xft drawing did suffer from pixel offset issues
503 when pixmap transparency was enabled.
504 - strategically add # to the url-match regexes, as we really want to
505 match common URIs not common URLs. Reported by Aaron Griffin.
506 - moved on_osc_seq to on_osc_seq_perl and added a more
507 generic osc_seq.
508 - fix a bug causing double callback invocations when perl hooks
509 were invoked recursively.
510 - the automove-background extension now properly works when the
511 pixmap gets reset with an osc sequence (sqweek).
512 - selection-pastebin did not work properly with non-latin1-characters.
513 - apply colorUL only when the text colour is the default fg
514 (patch by Wu Fengguang).
515 - removed rxvtlib.h from the tarball, it had no reason to be there
516 (spotted by Decklin Foster).
517 - fix compiling with TRANSPARENT but !XPM_BACKGROUND, as reported
518 by omatunto_.
519 - slap in a using namespace std, might help on platforms that don't
520 follow C++ closely enough.
521 - fix mailto url regex, spotted within milliseconds by Jost Krieger.
522 - applied fade_color_update_func.patch by WU Fengguang.
523 - fix a bug where (due to an optimisation in av_delete), hiding the
524 bottom-most overlay would hide two overlays.
525
5267.7 Tue Feb 21 12:32:49 CET 2006
527 - use double-buffered drawing (xft fonts only). On many driver/hardware
528 combination this actually increases xft drawing speed, at the expense
529 of more network bandwidth and slight nausea on the side of the author.
530 - readline perl extension now requires shift-click instead of a normal
531 click, and eats the click.
532 - tabbed perl extension now supports -e.
533 - disabled graphics-exposures on the main drawing GC, report any
534 refresh bugs please.
535 - improve property handling for -pe tabbed: avoid unnecessary property
536 changes (for kde's benefit) at the expense of extra round-trips,
537 improve size hint setting.
538 - modified XIM according to a patch sent by Takano Akio that sets
539 the preedit rectangle for OverTheSpot, which helps some input methods
540 to correctly position their preedit window.
541 - un-optimise the line clearing on newly scrolled-in lines a bit: the
542 former reasoning was that any fg colour on default bg looks the same
543 in empty spaces, but that's not true when reversing (e.g. selection),
544 so also check for matching fg colours. This fixes the problem where
545 selecting newly scrolled-in lines would exhibit wrong colours.
546 - fix a bug in the perl interface causing focus in events to generate
547 focus out perl events, causing bad focus effects with -pe tabbed.
548 - fix a race resulting in a crash on exiting.
549 - fix a with --disable-xft that caused xfreecolors to be called on
550 colors never allocated, resulting in aborts (reported by Paco-Paco).
551 - resources on non-initial screens weren't refetched correctly
552 (reported by Paco-Paco).
553 - fix a bug in xcopyarea pass and _disable_ it, as it seems not to be
554 working in either rxvt-unicode nor in the original rxvt.
555 - removed undocumented -exec alias for the -e option.
556
5577.6 Fri Feb 10 08:52:36 CET 2006
558 - changed interpretation of [alpha] colour prefix.
559 - +option now really sets the option to default, instead of using the
560 resource value.
561 - options that require an argument now really _require_ an argument.
562 - the tabbed extension now forwards focus and key events to the
563 relevant tab window.
564 - tab colours are now configurable and have sensible defaults
565 (initial patch by hednod).
566 - option menu is extendable, readline, selection and
567 selection-autotransform can now be disabled/enabled at runtime.
568 - forcing a configure event to tabbed subwindows with -pe tabbed, for
569 the benefit of automove-background.
570 - the automove-background extension added a wrong constant offset.
571 - force refresh of XA_RESOURCE_STRING on virtual reconnect.
572 - return exit status 2 in urxvtc when urxvtd couldn't be contacted.
573 - the linux yield hack is back, now using usleep, and enabled only on
574 __linux__.
575 - further round trip eliminations in the !XFT case by remembering
576 the colour components.
577 - plain scrollbar works better with -sr.
578 - fixed half-shadow scrollbar look.
579 - more colour rtt optimisations.
580 - properly(?) free colours on window close.
581 - reorganised the FAQ into multiple sections.
582 - add ISO646.1991-IRV to the list of supported codesets.
583 - minor libptytty update.
584
5857.5 Tue Jan 31 15:15:43 CET 2006
586 - further improvements to the careful mode detection, and font width
587 detection:
588 - fully double-wide fonts will now be correctly treated,
589 - overlap detection was improved.
590 - detect totally broken fonts (usually synthesized by xft).
591 - careful mode forced refresh sometimes clashed with blinking,
592 causing unnecessary screen redraws.
593 - better handling of XFT combining characters.
594 - enable antialiasing for some replacement fonts, as they
595 might get used for other encodings which really need it, later.
596 - remove spacing=100 from all default fonts, as this creates totally
597 weird spacing (5 times normal) with xft.
598 - removed iso10646 fallback, as xorgs iso10646 encoded fonts are mostly
599 broken.
600 - removed gnu unifont fallback, all combining characters are broken.
601 - replace named colours by xorg's rgb.txt equivalents, to
602 reduce round trip time on startup, and short-cut allocation
603 of rgb:rr/gg/bb for xft.
604 - short-cut allocation of rgb values in the xlib case
605 (patch by Paco-Paco).
606 - overhauled color management: smaller codesize, alpha support.
607 - support "rgba:rrrr/gggg/bbbb/aaaa" color specifications and
608 an "[alpha]" prefix.
609 - try to work around Xft and Xrender forcing everything to be 100%
610 transparent. Long Live Xft!
611 - do not include X11/Intrinsic.h anymore, directly use
612 Xlib/Xutil/Xresource directly.
613 - try to find a nearest matching color when color allocation fails
614 on a pseudocolor screen.
615 - SYNCCVS: compared to rxvt-cvs 2006-01-28, no relevant changes.
616 - fix version report (DA) (which was unfortunately broken).
617 - changed version number report again, now to emulate xterm closer.
618 - added the OSC sequence 702 to detect the urxvt version number.
619 - small configure updates.
620 - further RTT optimisations.
621 - backported clean-up patches for makefiles and documentation from
622 the debian package.
623 - updated doc/rxvt-unicode.spec file. It's still not maintained here,
624 but much newer than the old one.
625
6267.4 Sat Jan 28 15:26:27 CET 2006
627 - screen background wasn't always erased properly when scrolling,
628 - re-enabled clearing optimisation disabled in 7.4pre.
629 - small configure updates for libptytty.
630 - fixed version options: line output.
631 - removed stoopid debugging message left in the code.
632
6337.3 Wed Jan 25 22:47:35 CET 2006
634 - don't let iso14755 or mouse reporting get into the way of perl
635 (could lead to global grabs never being cleared).
636 - experimental OnTheSpot editing support (-pe xim-onthespot).
637 - moved Shift-Button2 paste combination to Meta-Button2.
638 - the cutchars resource will now be respected and used by the
639 selection extension.
640 - added the "remote-clipboard" extension which just runs external
641 commands to fetch and store the selection data.
642 - added -depth switch that tries to get a different visual depth
643 than the default (replaces the old PREFER_24_BIT logic).
644 - removed (unused) arabic presentation form composing sequences.
645 - be more strict when deciding that a core font glyph is too wide and
646 needs the careful rendering mode.
647 - allow more leeway for italic fonts when deciding that a character is
648 too wide and needs careful mode.
649 - redraw even more characters around characters using careful mode.
650 - made selection-pastebin fully asynchronous.
651 - reduced number of server turnarounds at startup by allocating
652 atoms only once per display.
653 - renamed on_keyboard_command to on_user_command.
654 - changed version sos (ESC [ > c) response to be more compatible with
655 xterm.
656
6577.2 Sun Jan 22 21:58:16 CET 2006
658 - bugfix: urxvt (not urxvtd) did not correctly handle multiple
659 environments necessary, which resulted in segfaults within
660 getenv (reproducable: urxvt -fn 9x15, open a menu once,
661 ctrl-shift-672c).
662 - bugfix: the selection speedup in in 7.1 unfortunately caused
663 non-ascii characters to enlarge/move the selection.
664 - bugfix: resizing sometimes leaked lines from the secondary to
665 the primary screen.
666 - bugfix: reducing window size while large amounts of text were output
667 could lead to an assertion failure.
668 - added "tabbed" extension that provides a crude tabbed terminal.
669 - added "readline" extension that allows cursor positioning
670 via mouse clicks.
671 - now it is possible to insert the value of the CLIPBOARD selection
672 with shift - mouse button 2.
673 - fixed the automove-background extension to ignore coordinates
674 in non-synthetic events.
675 - created a separate libpty for portable and secure
676 pty/tty/utmp/wtmp/lastlog handling, and include it in rxvt-unicode.
677 - the non-terminfo visual bell now works asynchronously, so
678 continuous ASCI BELs in one terminal do no longer monopolise the
679 whole urxvt[d] process.
680 - support some *BSD makes (for the time being, gnu make is a safe bet).
681 - work around bugs in FreeBSD's gcc.
682 - implemented some *BSD fixes in configure.
683 - removed support for obsolete offix dnd protocol.
684
6857.1 Thu Jan 19 20:25:34 CET 2006
686 - setuid/setgid operation is now _encouraged_: security has been
687 improved by moving privileged operations into a separate process
688 and permanently dropping privileges within the terminal. This
689 makes it possible to remove security checks from the perl code
690 and gives a much safer feeling when urxvt needs to run with
691 special privileges.
692 - perl taint checking disabled, as urxvt no longer runs setuid/setgid
693 itself.
694 - new perl extension automove-background that can be used to get
695 the same effect as pseudo-transparency with any pixmap.
696 - new perl extension example: perl/selection-pastebin, can be used to
697 e.g. upload the selection to a webserver and generate a url, or
698 similar stuff.
699 - use the scrollback buffer even when the scroll region doesn't
700 span the whole screen, as long as it starts at row 0. Helps
701 for programs displaying a status line at the bottom.
702 - selection popup now shows selection in dec/hex/oct.
703 - perl/selection: matching on unicode characters in the selection
704 code was O(n²), which equals infinity in some degenerate cases
705 :-> Matching is now done on UTF-8, which makes it almost instant.
706 - perl/selection, perl/selection-autotransform: regexes are now
707 being interpreted in the locale urxvt was started.
708 - implemented override-redirect option and enabled it on menus,
709 as kwin puts our windows behind the terminal (what a shoddy wm).
710 - fixed struct utmp check in configure for OpenBSD.
711 - complete overhaul of the pty/utmp management stuff and configure
712 (Emanuele Giaquinta=exg).
713 - add tsl/fsl and related capabilities to the terminfo description,
714 to set the window title.
715 - swap the environment in some more cases. This hopefully fixes
716 some segfaults that might be caused by xft asking for env variables
717 at the wrong time.
718 - removed src/strings.C and src/menubar.C. No menubar support
719 anymore.
720 - removed all traces of SMOOTH_REFRESH.
721 - nuked QNX support.
722 - made some fixes to xpm offset and scaling code.
723 - perl-overlays and refresh hooks were not applied in correct order.
724 - changed coordinate-system of view_start/nsaved to be top to bottom.
725 - iom extended to support listening for child exits.
726
7277.0 Fri Jan 13 14:02:18 CET 2006
728 - added sections for DISTRIBUTION MAINTAINERS and about
729 SETUID/SETGID to the FAQ.
730 - selection, searchable-scrollback, selection-popup and
731 option-popup extensions enabled by default.
732 - increased xft drawing speed for problematic fonts. The effect
733 will likely be small as 99% of the xft slowness is server-related.
734 - perl: much increased functionality, better overlays, popup support
735 and much much more.
736 - perl: urxvt::line now can set via ->t and ->r.
737 - perl: changed interpretation of --perl-ext-common and -pe.
738 - perl: finally implemented --perl-eval.
739 - perl: non-blocking anyevent support.
740 - perl: run tainted and ignore perl-eval/perl-lib if started
741 setuid/setgid.
742 - free the resource database: this plugs a massive memory leak. As a
743 side effect, it also gets rid of XGetDefault calls.
744 - free one of the cursors, fixes a small memory leak.
745 - built-in (as opposed to terminfos) visual bell was broken/too fast.
746 - applied minor cleanups by Ladislav Michnovic.
747 - applied pty handling cleanups and improvements (Emanuele Giaquinta).
748 - mark-urls launch-on-click by jepler.
749 - removed "small" resource parsing function, as it wasn't really
750 compatible, and not really small either.
751 - removed PATH_ENV and PATH file search support.
752 - removed support for locale-specific app-defaults file.
753 - fixed a bug where out-of-bounds colour sequences could lead
754 to crashes.
755 - limit colour changing to the standard 88 palette instead of all
756 colours.
757 - XTerm_Color01 sequence returned wrong results in query mode.
758 - iom.C now checks against destructed io_manager when unregistering.
759
7606.3 Wed Jan 4 22:37:10 CET 2006
761 - SECURITY FIX: on systems using openpty, permissions were
762 not correctly updated on the tty device and were left as
763 world-readable and world-writable (likely in original rxvt,
764 too), and were not restored properly. Affected are only
765 systems where non-unix ptys were used (such as most BSDs, not
766 GNU/Linux). (found, patched and debugged by Ryan Beasley).
767 - meta8 support was forcefully enabled in most configurations.
768 restored configurability of this (useless) feature (reported
769 by Mikachu).
770 - optionally embed a perl interpreter, which can be used for more
771 intelligent/customized selection support, visual feedback,
772 menus, tabs etc. See the the urxvtperl manpage, the -pe option,
773 perl*-resources and keysym resources. Not everything is there yet.
774 - try to be more clever about differing font sizes and their ascent.
775 Not guarenteed to work, but works better in most cases now.
776 - fix directory permissions on install.
777 - implemented option to disable built-in line drawing characters
778 and fall back to the font ones (patch by Martin Pohlack).
779 - disabled sched_yield support: the linux version is just too useless
780 (it schedules nice'd processes before the own one for extended
781 periods). Too bad, it could reduce system time by a factor of 5 here.
782
7836.2 Mon Jan 2 16:03:01 CET 2006
784 - implemented intensityStyles option which enables/disables bold/blink
785 selecting high intensity foreground/background colours, suggested by
786 Chuck Blake.
787 - move iso14755 character feedback box out of the way if it would
788 obscure the mouse cursor position.
789 - replaced callback.h by a fixed version from gvpe that correctly
790 returns the callback result (affects new -pty-fd semantics in urxvtc
791 on a few architectures). Reported by darix.
792 - include one trailing space in rectangular selections to indicate
793 the inserted newline (yeah, weird, but visually more pleasing).
794 - try to use sched_yield to (drastically) improve terminal data
795 transfer efficiency.
796 - further minor cleanups.
797
7986.1 Tue Dec 27 13:23:40 CET 2005
799 - update iso8859-7 table (euro and drachma round-trip et al.).
800 - fix a crash when the selection scrolls out of the scrollback
801 while the user still drags.
802 - selections that were partially scrolled out of the window were
803 not drawn correctly.
804 - lines newly scrolled in were not initialized properly, leading
805 to extremely long lines and (hopefully) some segfaults.
806 - iso14755 overlay position was wrong.
807 - iso14755 overlay now displays rendition info, too.
808 - use unicode white space class instead of hardcoded values for
809 stripping whitespace.
810 - do whitespace stripping on rectangular selections.
811 - slight cleanups in src/features.h.
812
8136.0 Sat Dec 24 13:58:56 CET 2005
814 - make it compile without SMART_RESIZE again.
815 - enable slow link support by default.
816 - fix relative cursor-positioning not respecting scrolling regions
817 (also a bug in original rxvt).
818 - initialize termios structure to zero when fetching it fails
819 (see http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=84647 for a
820 partial patch).
821 - bump max columns/rows to 10000 each.
822 - bump max savelines to 10000000.
823 - -pty-fd now passes the urxvtc fd to the urxvtd process.
824 - avoid linking against -lnsl/-lsocket/-lxpg4 unless neccessary.
825 - major code cleanup (still not complete, though).
826 - implement -hold option.
827 - _major_ rewrite of internal buffer handling:
828 - re-flow on resize, lines get wrapped instead of winged.
829 - circular line buffer (substantially speeds up scrolling).
830 - slightly less code + data memory usage per terminal.
831 - slight overall speed improvements.
832 - considerably improved code clarity.
833 - partial-screen scrolls no longer end up in the scrollback
834 buffer.
835
8365.9 Sat Dec 17 21:53:17 CET 2005
837 - fix a bug in the menu code of unknown impact, found by darix.
838 - clean up signal handling to be global, not per terminal
839 (matters only for rxvtd).
840 - fix small typoe in rxvt.1 (found by Mike Fabian).
841 - don't crash when broken xft/fontconfig/freetype versions return
842 bogus data, ignore the xft font instead (experienced on suse).
843
8445.8 Tue Oct 25 22:21:45 CEST 2005
845 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: many configure options are now on by default.
846 If you want the old behaviour, try:
847 configure --disable-everything <your enable options>
848 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: -fade changed it's meaning to comply with
849 the documentation and common sense: when upgrading, replace your
850 percentage by 100-percentage.
851 - integrated "fade to specific colour" patch by Martin Parm.
852 - slow down the internal visual bell (delay by 20ms) and update
853 the terminfo flash code to use the same delay. This is
854 synchronous, so many bells might inhibit screen updates in other
855 windows.
856 - text with background==foreground colour gets displayed with default
857 bg/fg now when in reverse video, so it can be seen when selecting.
858 - allow koi8r* as x11 encoding name for koi8r (Nikita Danilov).
859 - removed undocumented inheritPixmapforce option.
860 - replaced INSTALL file.
861
8625.7 Wed Jul 13 04:46:33 CEST 2005
863 - implement some useful (hopefully) options for rxvtd.
864 - separate and improved rxvtc(1) and rxvtd(1) manpages.
865 - fix a bug that caused segfaults on startup on systems that do
866 not support local unix connections, e.g cygwin. (btw, I didn't
867 even know about the -rootless and -multiwindow Cygwin/X modes).
868 - large amounts of text without control sequences or newlines
869 could almost freeze output. This has been fixed by adding extra
870 refreshes in these cases (also a problem in original rxvt).
871
8725.6 Sun Jun 26 22:11:13 CEST 2005
873 - R_SB_RXVT bitset value was 0, so rxvt scrollbar was initialised
874 every time resulting in display errors (original rxvt also affected).
875 Reported by Jasmin Buchert.
876 - font names are now considered to be utf-8 encoded (xft apperently
877 uses this convention. X Core fonts might not, but it should be rare).
878 Affects display in iso14755 box.
879 - rewrote the low-level xft drawing function ("xft backend" for the
880 hipper parts of the world) to hopefully cope better with proportional
881 chars mixed with fixed-width ones.
882 - rxvt is now much more careful (read: slower) with potentially
883 overlapping xft characters. It usually overshoots and redraws
884 more than required, but that's better than undershooting and
885 cutting pieces off of characters.
886 - rxvt is now more restrictive in what font heights it accepts for
887 fonts that will likely overshoot or undershoot lines.
888 - fix a cosmetic problem with the unfocused cursor on a wide character
889 at the end of the line (reported by Mikachu).
890 - wide characters not fitting into the end of the line will be
891 output in the next line (reported by Mikachu).
892 - added doc/solaris9.patch by Ewgenij Starostin.
893
8945.5 Sat Apr 23 22:31:36 CEST 2005
895 - re-enabled modifer state matching as in 5.3, but implement
896 a new builtin: keysym style that simply reverts to the built-in
897 meaning of the given key.
898 - use scrollcolor for next scrollbar instead of hardcoded antiquewhite
899 (patch by Martin Edlman).
900
9015.4 Mon Apr 18 00:33:31 CEST 2005
902 - match modifier state exactly in custom keyboard code.
903 this is necessary because it has no knowledge about
904 built-in mappings and so will overwrite them. the priority-code
905 will be re-enabled when this has changed, so watch out.
906 - cursor blinking now depends on frills.
907 - underline cursor mode (frills, -uc).
908 - implement special value (*g*) for pointerBlankDelay
909 to disable it.
910
9115.3 Sun Mar 13 00:20:44 CET 2005
912 - fix a bug that allowed to overflow a buffer via a long
913 escape sequence, which is probably exploitable (fix by
914 Rob Holland / Yoann Vandoorselaere / Gentoo Audit Team).
915 - Custom key mappings no longer confuse mouse buttons
916 with modifiers.
917 - use XmbSetWMProperties instead of XSetWMProperties.
918 - properly update WM_LOCALE.
919 - implement _NET_WM_PING protocol.
920 - implemented escape sequences to move the scrollback buffer view
921 and clear the scrollback buffer.
922
9235.2 Sun Feb 20 01:48:59 CET 2005
924 - new option -pty-fd that makes the terminal a slave
925 that uses an existing pty for I/O instead of starting
926 a command.
927 - implement enough of XEMBED to allow for correct focus.
928 - added doc/embed-tk, an embedding example in Perl/Tk,
929 and doc/rxvt-tabbed, a primitive tabbed shell implemented
930 in Perl/Gtk2.
931 - fix assertion failure ("crash") on mousewheel-scrolling
932 when the terminal height is small, by removing the assert.
933 (reported by Mikael Magnusson=Mikachu).
934 - SYNCCVS. backported bugfixes done to rxvt
935 (sourceforge bugs #1028739, #1028732), except for
936 pts/%s fix as it seems to collide with freebsd,
937 and sourceforge bug #954654, which is not neccessary.
938 - change terminfo file to not clobber G1 when using
939 line-drawing characters, as this seems to mess
940 with EUC-JP (it will clobber G0, but G0 practically
941 needs to be US-ASCII all the time).
942 - toggle default application keypad/cursor mode to help
943 some apps who fail to set the correct mode.
944 - check for WM_PROTOCOLS type in ClientMessage as to
945 not destroy the window for other types of messages.
946 - remove shared library (or any library) support - it is
947 of no use currently (and -embed is a better way to embed
948 rxvt-unicode).
949 - get rid of the intpro files.
950
9515.1 Tue Feb 15 17:13:27 CET 2005
952 - fix a bug when parsing fontnames and another one
953 for empty keymaps which could result in crashes
954 (Kuang-che Wu).
955 - new option: -embed (frills). somebody could write a simple
956 tk script to make a tab'able terminal now...
957 - only warn on X errors and _try_ to continue (frills).
958 - add COPYING back, which got lost somehow.
959 - after deciding that LSM is dead, remove all traces of it,
960 along with other, similar, cleanups.
961 - _try_ to react sensibly to some non-monotonic time changes.
962 - don't crash in urxvtc when getcwd fails (reported by Paco-Paco).
963 - tweak font searching algorithm a bit to be faster and more
964 compatible with older rxvt-unicode versions when multiple fonts
965 match (reported by Paco-Paco).
966 - urxvtd tries to stay in "/" whenever possible.
967
9685.0 Fri Feb 11 18:31:48 CET 2005
969 - document a race-free hack to start urxvtd.
970 - document all(?) environment variables used and set by rxvt.
971 - bring xgetdefault-style resource file ordering more in line with
972 Xt, and document it in rxvt(1).
973 - correctly use screen-dependent resources when --enable-xgetdefault,
974 and also fix some memory bugs (thanks to Thierry Reding for
975 his patience and time in tracking this down).
976 - bring own resource parsing more in line with X resource parsing,
977 most notably, don't remove double quotes.
978 - compile fix for freebsd (no ut_id) (Thierry Thomas).
979 - clean up utmp and pty on X I/O errors and signals (idea
980 by Joël Riou).
981 - "un"document -xrm, it never really worked, was only
982 available with --enable-xgetdefault, is not necessary
983 and is surprisingly hard to implement.
984 - shaved off some code segment size.
985 - various code cleanups.
986 - more keysym-mapping fixes.
