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.
6WISH: keyboard modification via esc-sequences. 10TODO: slow drag selection on remote display - other things seem fast (rxvt illness, motion hints?)
7WISH: line-rewrapping on resize 11TODO: investigate -pe tabbed -g 80x25 being 23 not 24 or 25 lines
8WISH: hotkey font resizing (possible via keymaps) 12 => when setting the constraints, the wm might (correctly)
9WISH: searchable backlog 13 resize the outer window, which might result in a smaller window overall.
10WISH: meta-tagging of data by regex (my dream project) 14 or something like that. guys, send me a patch.
11WISH: double-click: more intelligent (urls etc.) 15WISH: selection-color-pair instead of reverse video
12WISH: OnTheSpot editing. 16WISH: load system-wide config file even if we don't have one
13WISH: tabbed windows (hey, just use screen...) 17WISH: look into XAddConnectionWatch, does anybody need that?
14WISH: just for fun, do shade and tint with XRender. 18DUMB: support tex fonts

209.0
21 - fix a crash bug where urxvtd would crash when urxvtc was called
22 with wrong arguments (I wish debian maintainers in general would
23 report bugs and their proposed fixes to the original package maintaienrs
24 instead of sitting on them for good measure to see if anybody notices).
25 - check for refresh after initialising to avoid staying blank
26 till the first event arrives. or so.
27 - continuously update transparency while moving/resizing now.
28 - scrollbar code cleanups.
29 - cub1 now acts as advertised (and ignores the "wrapped" state).
30 - the 132/80 mode switch now forces a height of 24, too, and
31 resets the terminal.
32
338.9 Mon Dec 24 07:51:40 CET 2007
34 - fix the issue where urxvtd would not immediately close a window
35 when the command exited but only on the next X event.
36 - changed terminfo file not to use application keypad mode.
37 - fix the issue where making a selection in one urxvtd window
38 would not clear it visually in another.
39 - fix an issue of urxvt not getting background pixmap updates
40 and flickering after bg pixmap changes (reported by Mikachu).
41 - fix redraw bug in xterm scrollbar with -sr (reported by Mikachu).
42 - correctly provide dependencies for libev (µikachu).
43 - minor code reorganisations and cleanups.
44 - be more robust in case the urxvt-popup extension cannot be loaded.
45
468.8 Sat Dec 15 19:40:39 CET 2007
47 - option -C was aliased to all unsupported options, activating
48 options that shouldn't be compiled in, leading to interesting
49 effects.
50 - updated libev, working around a bug in linux 2.4, curing the
51 symptom of urxvt not closing its window on shell exit. also
52 fixes a problem with urxvt not refreshing.
53 - the text blink callback was called even when no blinking
54 text was visible.
55 - pre-8.4 slipwheeling behaviour has been reinstated, with
56 some minor improvements.
57 - streamlined x events processing to only flush once per
58 display and not once per terminal window.
59 - quite a bit of minor code cleanups and codesize optimisations.
60
618.7 Sun Nov 25 10:23:49 CET 2007
62 - update libev with an important bugfix that would cause crashes
63 when closing windows (when using rxvtd, and update is recommended).
64 - do not compile in the block builtin graphics with --disable-frills.
65
668.6 Fri Nov 23 14:10:57 CET 2007
67 - upgrade libev to disable kqueue on anything but netbsd as it
68 seems to be broken everywhere else w.r.t. ptys.
69 - allow for spurious event notifications, as at least epoll and
70 especially solaris ports like to lie about them (symptoms:
71 urxvt "hangs" until there is some x11 related activity).
72 - -keysym command line options are now subjected to xlib parsing.
73 - add 'xrm' option analogous to Xt one.
74
758.5a Wed Nov 21 10:16:33 CET 2007
76 - make it compile with --disable-transparency.
77
788.5 Wed Nov 21 05:19:20 CET 2007
79 - expect major portability issues in this release: please test and report.
80 - converted from the veritable io manager event loop to
81 the high performance libev (http://software.schmorp.de/pkg/libev).
82 - minor tuning to the perl selection (include single words and more quoting chars).
83 - fix memory leak in pixmap code.
84 - fix a serious bug while setting the XIM destroy callback
85 on (typical) 64 bit systems.
86 - automove-background functionality re-implemented internaly using :root op in pixmap
87 geometry string. For example: rxvt -pixmap "image.jpg;:root"
88 - do not link rxvtc against every lib on the planet anymore.
89 - parallel builds should work once more.
90
918.4 Sat Oct 27 14:02:13 CEST 2007
92 - overhaul of the transparency/pixmap code (sasha).
93 - fix possible race betwen visual bell and poweron.
94 (reported by Martin von Gagern, gentoo?).
95 - urxvt -e no longer crashes the child.
96 - fixed some minor memleaks on incorrect usage or
97 missing DISPLAY.
98 - implement xterm 1002/1003 mouse tracking modes (exg).
99 - source code organisational cleanups (exg).
100 - updated io_manager.
101
1028.3 Wed Aug 1 20:21:31 CEST 2007
103 - new option: skipScroll/-ss, enabled by default.
104 - go with the times and expect x11 library files in /usr/lib, not
105 /usr/X11R6/lib.
106 - initial transparency improvement/afterimage support
107 patch by Sasha Vasko.
108 - add urgentOnBell resource to set the urgency hint
109 (patch by Philip Paeps).
110 - do not process focus events caused by grabs
111 (patch by Mikachu).
112 - add iso14755_52 resource to disable iso14755 5.2 (exg).
113 - add binding for backspace in iso14755 5.1 to remove the last
114 digit (exg).
115 - better option handling, support more than 30 options (exg).
116 - nuke reconf script, serves no purpose anymore.
117 - fixed and documented matcher/on_user_command processing in matcher
118 extension (tpope).
119 - compile out of the box on Solaris 10 (exg).
120 - fix MappingNotify events (reported by Stephan Walter).
121 - zero-initialise mwmhints, this seems to solve all sorts of minor
122 problems.
123
1248.2 Sat Feb 17 21:35:28 CET 2007
125 - fix make depend in src/, reported by exg.
126 - fixed typo in urxvt::GET_CUSTOM, causing the result to be wrong.
127 (patch by Sergey Vlasov).
128 - unbundled iom perl interface somewhat.
129 - scrollbar-xterm now uses the selected scrollColor instead of fg
130 (found by Aiviru).
131 - disabled linux kernel bug workaround again: disabling it gives
132 a 50% speed hit on affected machines, while enabling it gives
133 a similar speed hit to screen, which is likely the more common
134 case to work around for :/
135 - urxvt::rend2mask perl function, and utilization of it by matcher
136 (patch by Moshe Kamensky).
137 - use perl:matcher on a keysym to open most recently displayed URL.
138 - with matcher, when multiple patterns match, last wins, not first.
139 - fix make and make install with srcdir != builddir (exg).
140 - updated bundled libptytty to fix a bug where the tty would be kept
141 open (see the libptytty ChangeLog for details).
142 - delay setting the IUTF8 flag to after the tty settings have been
143 set so its value does not get lost (reported and analysed by Andrei
144 Paskevich).
145 - rip out support for obsolete sgtty.h interface.
146 - rip out support for non-POSIX termios variants.
147 - update libptytty.
148 - update iom.C, make it call ptytty::sanitise_stdfd on init.
149 - when !XFT, change rounding of colours to use a less correct formula to
150 meet user expectancies (#aaa becomes #a000a000a000 not #9f9f9f9f9f9f).
151 - change the starting offset of the pixmap set with backgroundPixmap
152 from (50,50) to (0,0) (exg).
153 - fix a typo in button_release, now meta-button2 request the value of
154 the Clipboard selection as it should (patch by Serge Koksharov).
155 - fix a bug in drawing a cell with a nonspacing char when using an xft
156 font with inheritPixmap and tintColor (exg).
157
1588.1 Thu Dec 7 22:27:25 CET 2006
159 - ケリスマスプレゼント - zomg!!1, it's too early!!!
160 - fix the assumption that chars < 256 are single-width. Now
161 only assume this for codepoints 32 to 126 (reported by Dai.H.).
162 - $term->strwidth returned wide chars as width 1, because some jerk
163 confused min and max. Fixing this also fixes xim-onthespot.
164 Reported by Takano Akio.
165 - secondaryScroll is now enabled by default (as per the manpage),
166 reported by exg.
167 - correct the description of [percent]color rgba format in the manpage.
168 - incorporated macosx-clipboard extension by Samuel Ljungkvist.
169 - ignore (some) useless focus events (reported by mmc).
170 - updated compose table to unicode 5.0.0.
171
1728.0 Thu Nov 2 18:35:19 CET 2006
173 - combining characters cleared the area instead of creating an overlay,
174 thus losing the ability to draw combining characters properly in most
175 circumstances (reported by exg).
176 - specified fonts were incorrectly morphed to bold/italic according to the
177 basefont, even if explicitly specified (tracked down by tpope).
178 - fixed urxvt::strwidth to calculate width in the same way as screen.C.
179 - fix a crash caused by passing negative widths to overlay functions.
180 - added 'matcher' extension by tpope, replacing the mark-urls extension.
181 - improve url regex to match anything www.* (tpope).
182 - fixed bug with outline cursor color being wrong after xft fonts.
183 - update to libptytty-1.0.
184 - give proper diagnostic when RXVT_SOCKET is too long instead of
185 corrupting the stack (patch by exg).
186 - display current terminal locale in option menu.
187 - urxvtd no longer crashes when the client sends an inaccessible
188 working directory (reported by Roland Baer, possibly fixes gentoo
189 bug #143985).
190 - fixed many minor issues reported by Roland Baer.
191 - Leonid Khramov spotted a minor glitch in rxvtfont.C that
192 should not have any consequences, but was buggy nonetheless.
193 - manpage fix by exg.
194
1957.9 Mon Aug 7 18:16:07 CEST 2006
196 - fix the crashing bug people encountered with 7.8 + urxvtd + perl
197 + transparency. Ought to fix debian bug #380348.
198 - fix urxvtc.1.pod: it actually claimed -pty-fd would not work. But
199 it does! :->
200 - rxvt_fatal() in case the locale string is too long for our static buffer.
201 - fixed many, many, typos in the manpages (patch supplied by ves).
202
2037.8 Mon Jul 17 21:00:46 CEST 2006
204 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: this version will always read ~/.Xdefaults,
205 earlier versions only read it if display-resources (usually from
206 .Xresources) are not set. This avoids the #1 FAQ ("why isn't my
207 resource used") and seems to be logical behaviour, too. .Xdefaults
208 resources have a lower priority than display-specific resources.
209 - add "kuake" perl extension that does a similar thing to the kuake
210 terminal emulator (see man urxtvperl).
211 - use less "correct" color scaling that is compatible with libX11 and
212 Xft (avoids off-by-one colors resulting in striped backgrounds).
213 - the "depth" resource is now respected.
214 - preset the searchable-scrollback pattern with "(?i)" to default search
215 to case-insensitivity. Will automatically be cleared when typing an
216 uppercase character.
217 - add FORCE_UNBUFFERED_XFT define to features.h.
218 - re-enabled highlightcolor support with --enable-frills, based on
219 a patch by Martin Stubenschrott.
220 - double-buffered xft drawing did suffer from pixel offset issues
221 when pixmap transparency was enabled.
222 - strategically add # to the url-match regexes, as we really want to
223 match common URIs not common URLs. Reported by Aaron Griffin.
224 - moved on_osc_seq to on_osc_seq_perl and added a more
225 generic osc_seq.
226 - fix a bug causing double callback invocations when perl hooks
227 were invoked recursively.
228 - the automove-background extension now properly works when the
229 pixmap gets reset with an osc sequence (sqweek).
230 - selection-pastebin did not work properly with non-latin1-characters.
231 - apply colorUL only when the text colour is the default fg
232 (patch by Wu Fengguang).
233 - removed rxvtlib.h from the tarball, it had no reason to be there
234 (spotted by Decklin Foster).
235 - fix compiling with TRANSPARENT but !XPM_BACKGROUND, as reported
236 by omatunto_.
237 - slap in a using namespace std, might help on platforms that don't
238 follow C++ closely enough.
239 - fix mailto url regex, spotted within milliseconds by Jost Krieger.
240 - applied fade_color_update_func.patch by WU Fengguang.
241 - fix a bug where (due to an optimisation in av_delete), hiding the
242 bottom-most overlay would hide two overlays.
243
2447.7 Tue Feb 21 12:32:49 CET 2006
245 - use double-buffered drawing (xft fonts only). On many driver/hardware
246 combination this actually increases xft drawing speed, at the expense
247 of more network bandwidth and slight nausea on the side of the author.
248 - readline perl extension now requires shift-click instead of a normal
249 click, and eats the click.
250 - tabbed perl extension now supports -e.
251 - disabled graphics-exposures on the main drawing GC, report any
252 refresh bugs please.
253 - improve property handling for -pe tabbed: avoid unnecessary property
254 changes (for kde's benefit) at the expense of extra round-trips,
255 improve size hint setting.
256 - modified XIM according to a patch sent by Takano Akio that sets
257 the preedit rectangle for OverTheSpot, which helps some input methods
258 to correctly position their preedit window.
259 - un-optimise the line clearing on newly scrolled-in lines a bit: the
260 former reasoning was that any fg colour on default bg looks the same
261 in empty spaces, but thats not true when reversing (e.g. selection),
262 so also check for matching fg colours. This fixes the problem where
263 selecting newly scrolled-in lines would exhibit wrong colours.
264 - fix a bug in the perl interface causing focus in events to generate
265 focus out perl events, causing bad focus effects with -pe tabbed.
266 - fix a race resulting in a crash on exiting.
267 - fix a with --disable-xft that caused xfreecolors to be called on
268 colors never allocated, resulting in aborts (reported by Paco-Paco).
269 - resources on non-initial screens weren't refetched correctly
270 (reported by Paco-Paco).
271 - fix a bug in xcopyarea pass and _disable_ it, as it seems not to be
272 working in either rxvt-unicode nor in the original rxvt.
273 - removed undocumented -exec alias for the -e option.
274
2757.6 Fri Feb 10 08:52:36 CET 2006
276 - changed interpretation of [alpha] colour prefix.
277 - +option now really sets the option to default, instead of using the
278 resource value.
279 - options that require an argument now really _require_ an argument.
280 - the tabbed extension now forwards focus and keys events to th
281 relevant tab window.
282 - tab colours are now configurable and have sensible defaults
283 (initial patch by hednod).
284 - option menu is extendable, readline, selection and
285 selection-autotransform can now be disabled/enabled at runtime.
286 - forcing a configure event to tabbed subwindows with -pe tabbed, for
287 the benefit of automove-background.
288 - the automove-background extension added a wrong constant offset.
289 - force refresh of XA_RESOURCE_STRING on virtual reconnect.
290 - return exit status 2 in urxvtc when urxvtd couldn't be contacted.
291 - the linux yield hack is back, now using usleep, and enabled only on
292 __linux__.
293 - further round trip eliminations in the !XFT case by remembering
294 the colour components.
295 - plain scrollbar works better with -sr.
296 - fixed half-shadow scrollbar look.
297 - more colour rtt optimisations.
298 - properly(?) free colours on window close.
299 - reorganised the FAQ into multiple sections.
300 - add ISO646.1991-IRV to the list of supported codesets.
301 - minor libptytty update.
302
3037.5 Tue Jan 31 15:15:43 CET 2006
304 - further improvements to the careful mode detection, and font width
305 detection:
306 - fully double-wide fonts will now be correctly treated,
307 - overlap detection was improved.
308 - detect totally broken fonts (usually synthesized by xft).
309 - careful mode forced refresh sometimes clashed with blinking,
310 causing unnecessary screen redraws.
311 - better handling of XFT combining characters.
312 - enable antialiasing for some replacement fonts, as they
313 might get used for other encodings which really need it, later.
314 - remove spacing=100 from all default fonts, as this creates totally
315 weird spacing (5 times normal) with xft.
316 - removed iso10646 fallback, as xorgs iso10646 encoded fonts are mostly
317 broken.
318 - removed gnu unifont fallback, all combining characters are broken.
319 - replace named colours by xorg's rgb.txt equivalents, to
320 reduce round trip time on startup, and short-cut allocation
321 of rgb:rr/gg/bb for xft.
322 - short-cut allocation of rgb values in the xlib case
323 (patch by Paco-Paco).
324 - overhauled color management: smaller codesize, alpha support.
325 - support "rgba:rrrr/gggg/bbbb/aaaa" color specifications and
326 an "[alpha]" prefix.
327 - try to work around Xft and Xrender forcing everything to be 100%
328 transparent. Long Live Xft!
329 - do not include X11/Intrinsic.h anymore, directly use
330 Xlib/Xutil/Xresource directly.
331 - try to find a nearest matching color when color allocation fails
332 on a pseudocolor screen.
333 - SYNCCVS: compared to rxvt-cvs 2006-01-28, no relevant changes.
334 - fix version report (DA) (which was unfortunately broken).
335 - changed version number report again, now to emulate xterm closer.
336 - added the OSC sequence 702 to detect the urxvt version number.
337 - small configure updates.
338 - further RTT optimisations.
339 - backported clean-up patches for makefiles and documentation from
340 the debian package.
341 - updated doc/rxvt-unicode.spec file. It's still not maintained here,
342 but much newer than the old one.
343
3447.4 Sat Jan 28 15:26:27 CET 2006
345 - screen background wasn't always erased properly when scrolling,
346 - re-enabled clearing optimisation disabled in 7.4pre.
347 - small configure updates for libptytty.
348 - fixed version options: line output.
349 - removed stoopid debugging message left in the code.
350
3517.3 Wed Jan 25 22:47:35 CET 2006
352 - don't let iso14755 or mouse reporting get into the way of perl
353 (could lead to global grabs never being cleared).
354 - experimental OnTheSpot editing support (-pe xim-onthespot).
355 - moved Shift-Button2 paste combination to Meta-Button2.
356 - the cutchars resource will now be respected and used by the
357 selection extension.
358 - added the "remote-clipboard" extension which just runs external
359 commands to fetch and store the selection data.
360 - added -depth switch that tries to get a different visual depth
361 than the default (replaces the old PREFER_24_BIT logic).
362 - removed (unused) arabic presentation form composing sequences.
363 - be more strict when deciding that a core font glyph is too wide and
364 needs the careful rendering mode.
365 - allow more leeway for italic fonts when deciding that a character is
366 too wide and needs careful mode.
367 - redraw even more characters around characters using careful mode.
368 - made selection-pastebin fully asynchronous.
369 - reduced number of server turnarounds at startup by allocating
370 atoms only once per display.
371 - renamed on_keyboard_command to on_user_command.
372 - changed version sos (ESC [ > c) response to be more compatible with
373 xterm.
374
3757.2 Sun Jan 22 21:58:16 CET 2006
376 - bugfix: urxvt (not urxvtd) did not correctly handle multiple
377 environments necessary, which resulted in segfaults within
378 getenv (reproducable: urxvt -fn 9x15, open a menu once,
379 ctrl-shift-672c).
380 - bugfix: the selection speedup in in 7.1 unfortunately caused
381 non-ascii characters to enlarge/move the selection.
382 - bugfix: resizing sometimes leaked lines from the secondary to
383 the primary screen.
384 - bugfix: reducing window size while large amounts of text were output
385 could lead to an assertion failure.
386 - added "tabbed" extension that provides a crude tabbed terminal.
387 - added "readline" extension that allows cursor positioning
388 via mouse clicks.
389 - now it is possible to insert the value of the CLIPBOARD selection
390 with shift - mouse button 2.
391 - fixed the automove-background extension to ignore coordinates
392 in non-synthetic events.
393 - created a separate libpty for portable and secure
394 pty/tty/utmp/wtmp/lastlog handling, and include it in rxvt-unicode.
395 - the non-terminfo visual bell now works asynchronously, so
396 continuous ASCI BELs in one terminal do no longer monopolise the
397 whole urxvt[d] process.
398 - support some *BSD makes (for the time being, gnu make is a safe bet).
399 - work around bugs in FreeBSD's gcc.
400 - implemented some *BSD fixes in configure.
401 - removed support for obsolete offix dnd protocol.
402
4037.1 Thu Jan 19 20:25:34 CET 2006
404 - setuid/setgid operation is now _encouraged_: security has been
405 improved by moving privileged operations into a separate process
406 and permanently dropping privileges within the terminal. This
407 makes it possible to remove security checks from the perl code
408 and gives a much safer feeling when urxvt needs to run with
409 special privileges.
410 - perl taint checking disabled, as urxvt no longer runs setuid/setgid
411 itself.
412 - new perl extension automove-background that can be used to get
413 the same effect as pseudo-transparency with any pixmap.
414 - new perl extension example: perl/selection-pastebin, can be used to
415 e.g. upload the selection to a webserver and generate a url, or
416 similar stuff.
417 - use the scrollback buffer even when the scroll region doesn't
418 span the whole screen, as long as it starts at row 0. Helps
419 for programs displaying a status line at the bottom.
420 - selection popup now shows selection in dec/hex/oct.
421 - perl/selection: matching on unicode characters in the selection
422 code was O(n²), which equals infinity in some degenerate cases
423 :-> Matching is now done on UTF-8, which makes it almost instant.
424 - perl/selection, perl/selection-autotransform: regexes are now
425 being interpreted in the locale urxvt was started.
426 - implemented override-redirect option and enabled it on menus,
427 as kwin puts our windows behind the terminal (what a shoddy wm).
428 - fixed struct utmp check in configure for OpenBSD.
429 - complete overhaul of the pty/utmp management stuff and configure
430 (Emanuele Giaquinta).
431 - add tsl/fsl and related capabilities to the terminfo description,
432 to set the window title.
433 - swap the environment in some more cases. This hopefully fixes
434 some segfaults that might be caused by xft asking for env variables
435 at the wrong time.
436 - removed src/strings.C and src/menubar.C. No menubar support
437 anymore.
438 - removed all traces of SMOOTH_REFRESH.
439 - nuked QNX support.
440 - made some fixes to xpm offset and scaling code.
441 - perl-overlays and refresh hooks were not applied in correct order.
442 - changed coordinate-system of view_start/nsaved to be top to bottom.
443 - iom extended to support listening for child exits.
444
4457.0 Fri Jan 13 14:02:18 CET 2006
446 - added sections for DISTRIBUTION MAINTAINERS and about
447 SETUID/SETGID to the FAQ.
448 - selection, searchable-scrollback, selection-popup and
449 option-popup extensions enabled by default.
450 - increased xft drawing speed for problematic fonts. The effect
451 will likely be small as 99% of the xft slowness is server-related.
452 - perl: much increased functionality, better overlays, popup support
453 and much much more.
454 - perl: urxvt::line now can set via ->t and ->r.
455 - perl: changed interpretation of --perl-ext-common and -pe.
456 - perl: finally implemented --perl-eval.
457 - perl: non-blocking anyevent support.
458 - perl: run tainted and ignore perl-eval/perl-lib if started
459 setuid/setgid.
460 - free the resource database: this plugs a massive memory leak. As a
461 side effect, it also gets rid of XGetDefault calls.
462 - free one of the cursors, fixes a small memory leak.
463 - built-in (as opposed to terminfos) visual bell was broken/too fast.
464 - applied minor cleanups by Ladislav Michnovic.
465 - applied pty handling cleanups and improvements (Emanuele Giaquinta).
466 - mark-urls launch-on-click by jepler.
467 - removed "small" resource parsing function, as it wasn't really
468 compatible, and not really small either.
469 - removed PATH_ENV and PATH file search support.
470 - removed support for locale-specific app-defaults file.
471 - fixed a bug where out-of-bounds colour sequences could lead
472 to crashes.
473 - limit colour changing to the standard 88 palette instead of all
474 colours.
475 - XTerm_Color01 sequence returned wrong results in query mode.
476 - iom.C now checks against destructed io_manager when unregistering.
477
4786.3 Wed Jan 4 22:37:10 CET 2006
479 - SECURITY FIX: on systems using openpty, permissions were
480 not correctly updated on the tty device and were left as
481 world-readable and world-writable (likely in original rxvt,
482 too), and were not restored properly. Affected are only
483 systems where non-unix ptys were used (such as most BSDs, not
484 GNU/Linux). (found, patched and debugged by Ryan Beasley).
485 - meta8 support was forcefully enabled in most configurations.
486 restored configurability of this (useless) feature (reported
487 by Mikachu).
488 - optionally embed a perl interpreter, which can be used for more
489 intelligent/customized selection support, visual feedback,
490 menus, tabs etc. See the the urxvtperl manpage, the -pe option,
491 perl*-resources and keysym resources. Not everything is there yet.
492 - try to be more clever about differing font sizes and their ascent.
493 Not guarenteed to work, but works better in most cases now.
494 - fix directory permissions on install.
495 - implemented option to disable built-in line drawing characters
496 and fall back to the font ones (patch by Martin Pohlack).
497 - disabled sched_yield support: the linux version is just too useless
498 (it schedules nice'd processes before the own one for extended
499 periods). Too bad, it could reduce system time by a factor of 5 here.
500
5016.2 Mon Jan 2 16:03:01 CET 2006
502 - implemented intensityStyles option which enables/disables bold/blink
503 selecting high intensity foreground/background colours, suggested by
504 Chuck Blake.
505 - move iso14755 character feedback box out of the way if it would
506 obscure the mouse cursor position.
507 - replaced callback.h by a fixed version from gvpe that correctly
508 returns the callback result (affects new -pty-fd semantics in urxvtc
509 on a few architectures). Reported by darix.
510 - include one trailing space in rectangular selections to indicate
511 the inserted newline (yeah, weird, but visually more pleasing).
512 - try to use sched_yield to (drastically) improve terminal data
513 transfer efficiency.
514 - further minor cleanups.
515
5166.1 Tue Dec 27 13:23:40 CET 2005
517 - update iso8859-7 table (euro and drachma round-trip et al.).
518 - fix a crash when the selection scrolls out of the scrollback
519 while the user still drags.
520 - selections that were partially scrolled out of the window were
521 not drawn correctly.
522 - lines newly scrolled in were not initialized properly, leading
523 to extremely long lines and (hopefully) some segfaults.
524 - iso14755 overlay position was wrong.
525 - iso14755 overlay now displays rendition info, too.
526 - use unicode white space class instead of hardcoded values for
527 stripping whitespace.
528 - do whitespace stripping on rectangular selections.
529 - slight cleanups in src/features.h.
530
5316.0 Sat Dec 24 13:58:56 CET 2005
532 - make it compile without SMART_RESIZE again.
533 - enable slow link support by default.
534 - fix relative cursor-positioning not respecting scrolling regions
535 (also a bug in original rxvt).
536 - initialize termios structure to zero when fetching it fails
537 (see http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=84647 for a
538 partial patch).
539 - bump max columns/rows to 10000 each.
540 - bump max savelines to 10000000.
541 - -pty-fd now passes the urxvtc fd to the urxvtd process.
542 - avoid linking against -lnsl/-lsocket/-lxpg4 unless neccessary.
543 - major code cleanup (still not complete, though).
544 - implement -hold option.
545 - _major_ rewrite of internal buffer handling:
546 - re-flow on resize, lines get wrapped instead of winged.
547 - circular line buffer (substantially speeds up scrolling).
548 - slightly less code + data memory usage per terminal.
549 - slight overall speed improvements.
550 - considerably improved code clarity.
551 - partial-screen scrolls no longer end up in the scrollback
552 buffer.
553
5545.9 Sat Dec 17 21:53:17 CET 2005
555 - fix a bug in the menu code of unknown impact, found by darix.
556 - clean up signal handling to be global, not per terminal
557 (matters only for rxvtd).
558 - fix small typoe in rxvt.1 (found by Mike Fabian).
559 - don't crash when broken xft/fontconfig/freetype versions return
560 bogus data, ignore the xft font instead (experienced on suse).
561
5625.8 Tue Oct 25 22:21:45 CEST 2005
563 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: many configure options are now on by default.
564 If you want the old behaviour, try:
565 configure --disable-everything <your enable options>
566 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: -fade changed it's meaning to comply with
567 the documentation and common sense: when upgrading, replace your
568 percentage by 100-percentage.
569 - integrated "fade to specific colour" patch by Martin Parm.
570 - slow down the internal visual bell (delay by 20ms) and update
571 the terminfo flash code to use the same delay. This is
572 synchronous, so many bells might inhibit screen updates in other
573 windows.
574 - text with background==foreground colour gets displayed with default
575 bg/fg now when in reverse video, so it can be seen when selecting.
576 - allow koi8r* as x11 encoding name for koi8r (Nikita Danilov).
577 - removed undocumented inheritPixmapforce option.
578 - replaced INSTALL file.
579
5805.7 Wed Jul 13 04:46:33 CEST 2005
581 - implement some useful (hopefully) options for rxvtd.
582 - separate and improved rxvtc(1) and rxvtd(1) manpages.
583 - fix a bug that caused segfaults on startup on systems that do
584 not support local unix connections, e.g cygwin. (btw, I didn't
585 even know about the -rootless and -multiwindow Cygwin/X modes).
586 - large amounts of text without control sequences or newlines
587 could almost freeze output. This has been fixed by adding extra
588 refreshes in these cases (also a problem in original rxvt).
589
5905.6 Sun Jun 26 22:11:13 CEST 2005
591 - R_SB_RXVT bitset value was 0, so rxvt scrollbar was initialised
592 every time resulting in display errors (original rxvt also affected).
593 Reported by Jasmin Buchert.
594 - font names are now considered to be utf-8 encoded (xft apperently
595 uses this convention. X Core fonts might not, but it should be rare).
596 Affects display in iso14755 box.
597 - rewrote the low-level xft drawing function ("xft backend" for the
598 hipper parts of the world) to hopefully cope better with proportional
599 chars mixed with fixed-width ones.
600 - rxvt is now much more careful (read: slower) with potentially
601 overlapping xft characters. It usually overshoots and redraws
602 more than required, but that's better than undershooting and
603 cutting pieces off of characters.
604 - rxvt is now more restrictive in what font heights it accepts for
605 fonts that will likely overshoot or undershoot lines.
606 - fix a cosmetic problem with the unfocused cursor on a wide character
607 at the end of the line (reported by Mikachu).
608 - wide characters not fitting into the end of the line will be
609 output in the next line (reported by Mikachu).
610 - added doc/solaris9.patch by Ewgenij Starostin.
611
6125.5 Sat Apr 23 22:31:36 CEST 2005
613 - re-enabled modifer state matching as in 5.3, but implement
614 a new builtin: keysym style that simply reverts to the built-in
615 meaning of the given key.
616 - use scrollcolor for next scrollbar instead of hardcoded antiquewhite
617 (patch by Martin Edlman).
618
6195.4 Mon Apr 18 00:33:31 CEST 2005
620 - match modifier state exactly in custom keyboard code.
621 this is necessary because it has no knowledge about
622 built-in mappings and so will overwrite them. the priority-code
623 will be re-enabled when this has changed, so watch out.
624 - cursor blinking now depends on frills.
625 - underline cursor mode (frills, -uc).
626 - implement special value (*g*) for pointerBlankDelay
627 to disable it.
628
6295.3 Sun Mar 13 00:20:44 CET 2005
630 - fix a bug that allowed to overflow a buffer via a long
631 escape sequence, which is probably exploitable (fix by
632 Rob Holland / Yoann Vandoorselaere / Gentoo Audit Team).
633 - Custom key mappings no longer confuse mouse buttons
634 with modifiers.
635 - use XmbSetWMProperties instead of XSetWMProperties.
636 - properly update WM_LOCALE.
637 - implement _NET_WM_PING protocol.
638 - implemented escape sequences to move the scrollback buffer view
639 and clear the scrollback buffer.
640
6415.2 Sun Feb 20 01:48:59 CET 2005
642 - new option -pty-fd that makes the terminal a slave
643 that uses an existing pty for I/O instead of starting
644 a command.
645 - implement enough of XEMBED to allow for correct focus.
646 - added doc/embed-tk, an embedding example in Perl/Tk,
647 and doc/rxvt-tabbed, a primitive tabbed shell implemented
648 in Perl/Gtk2.
649 - fix assertion failure ("crash") on mousewheel-scrolling
650 when the terminal height is small, by removing the assert.
651 (reported by Mikael Magnusson).
652 - SYNCCVS. backported bugfixes done to rxvt
653 (sourceforge bugs #1028739, #1028732), except for
654 pts/%s fix as it seems to collide with freebsd,
655 and sourceforge bug #954654, which is not neccessary.
656 - change terminfo file to not clobber G1 when using
657 line-drawing characters, as this seems to mess
658 with EUC-JP (it will clobber G0, but G0 practically
659 needs to be US-ASCII all the time).
660 - toggle default application keypad/cursor mode to help
661 some apps who fail to set the correct mode.
662 - check for WM_PROTOCOLS type in ClientMessage as to
663 not destroy the window for other types of messages.
664 - remove shared library (or any library) support - it is
665 of no use currently (and -embed is a better way to embed
666 rxvt-unicode).
667 - get rid of the intpro files.
668
6695.1 Tue Feb 15 17:13:27 CET 2005
670 - fix a bug when parsing fontnames and another one
671 for empty keymaps which could result in crashes
672 (Kuang-che Wu).
673 - new option: -embed (frills). somebody could write a simple
674 tk script to make a tab'able terminal now...
675 - only warn on X errors and _try_ to continue (frills).
676 - add COPYING back, which got lost somehow.
677 - after deciding that LSM is dead, remove all traces of it,
678 along with other, similar, cleanups.
679 - _try_ to react sensibly to some non-monotonic time changes.
680 - don't crash in urxvtc when getcwd fails (reported by Paco-Paco).
681 - tweak font searching algorithm a bit to be faster and more
682 compatible with older rxvt-unicode versions when multiple fonts
683 match (reported by Paco-Paco).
684 - urxvtd tries to stay in "/" whenever possible.
685
6865.0 Fri Feb 11 18:31:48 CET 2005
687 - document a race-free hack to start urxvtd.
688 - document all(?) environment variables used and set by rxvt.
689 - bring xgetdefault-style resource file ordering more in line with
690 Xt, and document it in rxvt(1).
691 - correctly use screen-dependent resources when --enable-xgetdefault,
692 and also fix some memory bugs (thanks to Thierry Reding for
693 his patience and time in tracking this down).
694 - bring own resource parsing more in line with X resource parsing,
695 most notably, don't remove double quotes.
696 - compile fix for freebsd (no ut_id) (Thierry Thomas).
697 - clean up utmp and pty on X I/O errors and signals (idea
698 by Joël Riou).
699 - "un"document -xrm, it never really worked, was only
700 available with --enable-xgetdefault, is not necessary
701 and is surprisingly hard to implement.
702 - shaved off some code segment size.
703 - various code cleanups.
704 - more keysym-mapping fixes.
