36 - fix regression that broke continuous scrolling when pressing
37 and holding the scrollbar up or down button, gentoo bug #493992.
38
399.19 Sun Oct 27 17:16:07 CET 2013
40 - work around perl 5.18.0 breakage in tabbed extension
41 (reported by Karol Blazewicz) and in pod (Dominic Hargreaves).
42 - fix regression that caused the double-click word selection to
43 erroneously include a tab on the left of the selected word.
44 - implement FOCUS variable and focus_fade function in background
45 expression, to allow focus-sensitive background images.
46 - add support for the set cursor style (DECSCUSR) control
47 function.
48 - honour cursorColor also when the cursor style is underline.
49 - export some Color_xxx constants to Perl.
50
519.18 Sun Mar 24 15:33:35 CET 2013
52 - fix regression that caused artifacts on resize.
53
549.17 Fri Mar 1 13:46:08 CET 2013
55 - add shade operator in background perl extension.
56 - avoid starting or ending the selection in the middle of wide
57 characters to avoid artifacts (reported by Tiago Resende).
58 - fix artifacts that may occur if the character in the cursor
59 cell has width > 1 (reported by Tiago Resende).
60 - fix regression that causes artifacts on scrolling if
61 saveLines is 0 and the window is resized (reported by Bert
62 Münnich).
63 - fix build when perl is enabled and pixbuf and transparency
64 are disabled.
65
669.16 Thu Dec 27 11:56:43 CET 2012
67 - the "so much new stuff your eyes will pop out" release.
68 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: renamed urlLauncher resource to url-launcher.
69 - fix processing of DEC private mode save sequences (patch by Patrick
70 Hemmer).
71 - perl extensions now have their own manpages, installed as urxvt-NAME(1),
72 e.g. urxvt-background(1) - see urxvt-extensions(1) for a list.
73 - fix disabling of cursor blink with the option-popup menu (based on a
74 patch by Jan Larres).
75 - the font height is not augmented anymore when lineSpace is non zero.
76 - fix "new pagemap" vs. "delete pagemap" mismatch ([] vs. non-[]),
77 as diagnosed by clang.
78 - fix height mismatch between active and inactive cursor when
79 lineSpace is non zero (patch by Stanislav Seletskiy).
80 - make it compile with LOCAL_X_IS_UNIX again (reported by
81 nickfailure@gmail.com).
82 - completely redone background pixmap support - users can now
83 specify arbitrary expressions (And programs) that calculate
84 new terminal backgrounds. see the urxvt-background manpage
85 for details.
86 - xrender is now required for background pixmap support.
87 - perl extensions can now provide commandline switches and resources
88 which show up in -help etc.
89 - iso14755 51 mode window now displays row and column.
90 - implement a -visual switch and move that and -depth to frills, also
91 warn when we can't get the requested visual.
92 - new env variable: RXVT_PERL_LIB.
93 - allocate all screen memory in one go and let the virtual memory
94 subsystem sort it out. this simplifies code, improves access
95 locality, saves a bit of ram and makes things a bit faster, too.
96 - remove support for libafterimage.
97 - update to CVS version of libev, for a whopping 11kb size decrease.
98 - do not ship yet another copy of ecb.h, use the one in libev or
99 libptytty instead.
100 - selectively mark some methods as cache-hot/cache cold, which
101 might speed up execution but definitely decreases codesize.
102 - Fix regression that prevented the scrollbar trough color
103 from being applied (reported by Derek B. Noonburg).
104 - Fix the scrollbar size for rxvt style (patch by Mark Robinson).
105
1069.15 Sat Jan 21 13:36:56 CET 2012
107 - remove "using namespace std" because clang erroneously
108 thinks thats an error.
109 - finding a matching font (e.g. bold version of the base font)
110 was broken (reported by Eamon Walker).
111 - fix parsing of bg image styles. They really work now.
112 - fix blurring of bg image borders when using xrender.
113 - fix xrender blur on common xrender implementations that do
114 not behave correctly when the same pixmap is used as source
115 and destination in composite operations.
116 - fix regression that caused tabbed to compute the wrong size
117 for tabs.
118 - allow again an empty suffix in a keysym list spec (patch by
119 Sung Pae).
120 - unsupported support for sun studio's CC added.
121 - fix -C option on solaris.
122
1239.14 Wed Dec 21 18:40:33 CET 2011
124 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: the urxvtd default socket path is now
125 $HOME/.urxvt/urxvtd-<nodename>.
126 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: the "list" keysym expansion now requires
127 loading of the "keysym-list" perl extension.
128 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: A scale value of 0 in the bg image
129 geometry no longer enables tiling, so as to make it possible
130 to disable both scaling and tiling.
131 - overhaul of the bg image operations. The old operations have
132 been deprecated in favour of elementary operations and
133 styles built on top of the new operations and scale/position
134 settings. (Emanuele Giaquinta).
135 - support for libafterimage is deprecated and will be removed
136 in the next release.
137 - fix a crash caused by selection_check not properly resetting
138 out-of-bounds mark values (can happen when extending a selection
139 while scrolling up in curses programs for example).
140 - do not move the selection when scrolling up and the selection is
141 outside the scrolling region (Emanuele Giaquinta).
142 - fix display of bold bright black (reported by Ben Winslow).
143 - fix memory leak when urgentOnBell is set (patch by Nathaniel
144 Filardo).
145 - fix a redraw bug that occurs when a bg pixmap is set and the
146 wm does not honour the size hints set by urxvt. Now urxvt
147 forces the size of the terminal window to be a multiple of
148 the cell size.
149 - sanitise the argument of SD / SU sequences. Fixes a possible
150 crash when the argument is big enough, red hat bug #711137
151 (Emanuele Giaquinta).
152 - correctly split long lines when scrolling.
153 - urxvt now looks for perl extensions also in $HOME/.urxvt/ext.
154 - add bell-command perl extension to execute a command when a
155 bell event occurs (Ryan Kavanagh).
156 - add set_urgency perl binding to set/reset the urgency hint.
157 - consume button release event in matcher (exg).
158 - keyboard accessible list of recent matches in matcher
159 (Bob Farrell).
160 - properly process 'keysym' sequences in tabbed when using
161 'focus follows mouse' and the focus is on the main window
162 but not on the active terminal window (patch by Martin
163 Pohlack).
164 - support for the freedesktop startup-notification protocol (patch by
165 Michael Stapelberg).
166 - the direction of VPR and VPB commands was reversed.
167 - fix alignment of inherited root pixmap when it is a different size
168 than the root window and the terminal window is off the left or top
169 edge (Mikachu).
170 - make $self visible in "eval perl expression" popup action, also
171 handle exceptions better.
172 - fix parsing of '-e' when it occurs as an option argument, such as in
173 'urxvt -title -e' (Emanuele Giaquinta).
174
1759.12 Wed Jun 29 14:34:28 CEST 2011
176 - fix regression in processing of SelectionNotify events.
177 urxvt would fail to request a selection if the owner did not
178 support the UTF8_STRING target.
179 - fix rendering of double width chars in certain circumstances, more
180 likely to happen if urxvt is compiled with 256 colors support as
181 urxvt runs out of fonts much earlier then. Fixes gentoo bug #358151
182 (Emanuele Giaquinta).
183 - restore support for 'list' syntax in keysym resources (requested by Sung Pae).
184 - always premultiply colour values - while this increases differences between
185 core fonts and xft, it is "more correct" in practical situations.
186 - disable PTYTTY_REENTRANT option - not needed for urxvt and saves a bit of code.
187 - remove lucidatypewriter from the list of fallback fonts, it was the only
188 non-xft non-cellfont in the list anyway.
189
1909.11 Mon May 2 10:34:46 CEST 2011
191 - fix compilation on GNU/Hurd, debian bug #624736.
192 - remove 'list' syntax for keysym resources, as it serves no useful purpose.
193 If you need it, poke us and provide a use case.
194 - fix alpha channel support. Premultiply alpha in colours if the visual
195 supports an alpha channel, as xrender expects premultiplied alpha
196 (Emanuele Giaquinta).
197 - fix reply to a selection request sent by an obsolete client
198 such as syncterm (patch by Marcin Cieslak).
199 - fix crash when the window is resized and the overlay is active
200 (Emanuele Giaquinta, reported by Ryan Kavanagh).
201 - match character-wise rather than byte-wise in selection
202 extension again. perl 5.8.9+ is required to avoid extreme
203 slowdowns. Fixes debian bugs #523072, #616463.
204 - fix a possible crash if the INCR transfer process for a
205 selection property timeouts and at least one chunk is
206 received. (Emanuele Giaquinta)
207 - work around a memory corruption bug in xorg's XrmSetDatabase (apparently
208 broken since http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/xorg-commit-diffs/2004-March/000239.html).
209 - fix memory corruption bug when custom command sequences bound to keys
210 were injected into an already-full pty input buffer.
211 - gdk-pixbuf is autodetected by default and preferred over libafterimage.
212 - do not prepend a newline to the selection text when the starting line
213 of the selection is not highlighted (Emanuele Giaquinta).
214 - don't swap perl env with real env, save and restore it, just in case
215 we ever get recursive perl invocations. also saves a bit of codespace
216 with gcc.
217 - fix various memory leaks (Emanuele Giaquinta).
218 - fix typo in kIC terminfo capability, debian bug #446444.
219 - document 'thickness' resource.
220 - fix debian bug #504817, to the extent possible.
221 - try to detect byte order at compile time, saves a couple of
222 hundred bytes, if your compiler is smart enough.
223 - add support for previewing the pasted data in confirm-paste
224 (Emanuele Giaquinta).
225 - added "newlines to spaces" option in selection-popup.
226 - actually enabled solaris event ports backend (was disabled by accident).
227 - revert to 38400 baud max., mission accomplished.
228 - no longer create scary "pty_fill: PLEASE REPORT" message, instead,
229 silently drain the input (problem is well understood now).
230 - no longer swallow rob nation's own graphics mode commands.
231
2329.10 Mon Dec 13 17:43:52 CET 2010
233 - the "schmorp=north korea dickey=south korea" release.
234 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: make OSC 20 simpler and more correct
235 (Emanuele Giaquinta).
236 - if options were compiled out, this could lead to the option
237 count to be defined wrongly. This is likely behind the
238 failures with gcc 4.5.
239 - explicitly depend on fontconfig and xrender when xft support
240 is enabled. Although the public Xft api uses types from
241 both, in Xft 2.2.0 these libs are private
242 dependencies only thanks to an idiotic behaviour of
243 pkg-config that was added to workaround cases like this one.
244 Fixes linking when using GNU ld with --as-needed or GNU gold
245 (based on patch by Jan Palus).
246 - fix minor memory leaks in urxvt and urxvtd.
247 - fix regression in urxvtd that prevented options from being correctly
248 set (reported by Michal Vaner).
249 - implement xterm's horribly broken 1005 mouse reporting mode,
250 and an alternative 1015 mode that works in non-utf-8 locales
251 and has fewer limitations.
252 - fix a possible bug where mouse notifications didn't work after
253 startup for the upper left corner.
254 - implement our own pixbuf to pixmap rendering to get rid of
255 dependency on buggy gdk-pixbuf-xlib. Only truecolor visuals
256 are supported (Emanuele Giaquinta).
257 - apply tinting before shading when both operations are requested.
258 Previously they were intermixed when lightening and the result
259 was inaccurate and confusing. Note that now a black tint yields a
260 completely black image, regardless of shading (Emanuele Giaquinta).
261 - avoid spurious redraws of the bg image when bg is transparent or
262 when using 'root' mode (Emanuele Giaquinta).
263 - fix build on XFree86.
264 - dynamically number options according to compiletime requirements.
265 For the extra saved byte. Or so. Yay.
266 - start options at one, not zero. Wastes a bit per terminal. Maybe.
267 saves 50 instruction bytes. Possibly.
268
2699.09 Sat Nov 13 01:39:07 CET 2010
270 - NOTICE: this release updates terminfo/termcap.
271 - the bestest release ever.
272 - it was verified that urxvt handles µ and μ correctly.
273 - add support for blending and blurring with XRender (Emanuele Giaquinta).
274 - add support for using gdk-pixbuf as image backend (Emanuele Giaquinta).
275 - cleanup and minor fixes of the image code (Emanuele Giaquinta).
276 - new perl extension "confirm-paste" (Emanuele Giaquinta).
277 - new on_tt_paste perl hook and tt_paste perl binding (Emanuele Giaquinta).
278 - new on_bell perl hook (Emanuele Giaquinta).
279 - searchable-scrollback no longer ignores the first line
280 (Emanuele Giaquinta).
281 - properly set VSTATUS in termios for *BSD (reported by Ed Schouten).
282 - fix utmpx detection on upcoming FreeBSD 9.
283 - Use COMPOUND_TEXT encoding for WM_NAME/WM_ICON_NAME value when it
284 is not fully convertible to STRING (patch by James Cloos).
285 - fix a buffer overflow that would cause wrong key sequences to
286 be generated for numpad keys (introduced in 9.05).
287 - fix definition of sgr0 to work around limitations in luit.
288 - extend ISO 14755 5.4 mode to also print the font name of the
289 characters other than first one in the selected cell
290 (Emanuele Giaquinta).
291 - new iso14755 option to disable ISO 14755 at runtime
292 (Emanuele Giaquinta).
293 - make sure pagewise scrolling scrolls at least one line
294 (found by Mikachu).
295 - remove deprecated OSC 18 / 19 and make OSC 17 / 19 apply to
296 highlightColor / highlightTextColor (Emanuele Giaquinta).
297 - add highlightTextColor resource to change the foreground colour of
298 highlighted characters (Emanuele Giaquinta).
299 - make highlightColor apply also to selected cells with reverse video
300 but not to non selected cells with reverse video (Emanuele Giaquinta).
301 - remove colorRV resource (it was enabled only with frills off).
302 - fix numlock handling, the most longstanding bug to date (Emanuele Giaquinta).
303 - reduce the number of custom bits to 4, to make room
304 for 256 colours.
305 - add support for 256 colors (Emanuele Giaquinta, Marc Lehmann).
306 - add rxvt-unicode-256color terminfo and use it by default in 256 colors mode.
307 - update rxvt-unicode terminfo to state 7744 colour pairs to cover all
308 88*88 possible pairs.
309 - actually added macosx-clipboard-native, which should have been in
310 the 9.07 release but had been forgotten.
311 - fix hang if DECAWM is not set and there are not enough columns to insert a
312 character (Emanuele Giaquinta).
313 - cub1 ("backspace") will now respect wrapping when past the rightmost column,
314 working around a shortcoming of most tty line discipline's line editing.
315 - add support for grabbing the clipboard selection and extend
316 selection{_clear,_grab,} perl bindings to optionally work
317 on the clipboard selection (based on patch by Dana Jansens).
318 - no longer force CERASE to BACKSPACE - use the system default. affects
319 default value for VERASE only when no compatible setting for
320 backspacekey was given.
321 - use higher than 38400 baudrate setting, if detected.
322 - erase screen would clear to the wrong background when blinking
323 was enabled (which selects high intensity under some circumstances).
324 - scr_kill_char didn't touch the line.
325 - upgrade and port to libev-4.01.
326 - enabled solaris event ports and kqueue backends (if available).
327
3289.07 Wed Dec 30 07:07:18 CET 2009
329 - port to glibc-2.10 changes (strchr etc. returning const char *
330 in C++), based on patches by Milos Jakubicek and Oliver Mader.
331 - the binary search algorithm to find precomposed characters
332 was faulty, skipping some possible combinations (found by
333 Mikachu).
334 - new -letterspace option, patch by Mark H. Wilkinson.
335 - enable --mlock option for urxvt with frills on
336 systems supporting it (patch by Russell Harmon).
337 - urxvt did not compile without frills enabled
338 (analysed by Matthew Rosewarne).
339 - correctly reset the mbstate after an illegal
340 input sequence when handling terminal output (Emanuele Giaquinta).
341 - avoid redrawing wide characters with combining enabled on every
342 refresh (reported by Mikachu).
343 - fix a typo preventing the ISO-646.1991 character set from being
344 recognized (http://achurch.org/patch-pile/).
345 - better warning for x11 font encoding detection failures, also,
346 try to deduce encoding from both font properties and name
347 (adapted from http://achurch.org/patch-pile/).
348 - resizing the window with the scrollbar disabled via the escapes
349 sequence could make the window bigger again (Mikachu).
350 - make sure the alignment for fd passing control messages
351 is correct and work around some NetBSD issues (Taylor R Campbell).
352 - update to libptytty 1.3.
353 - replace macosx-clipboard by a nicer version by Reza Jelveh, and move
354 the old version to macosx-clipboard-native.
355 - document the -uc option (Emanuele Giaquinta).
356 - assertions in libev are now enabled depending on frills.
357 - update AnyEvent implementation to version 5.23 API.
358 - work around arrogant bsd idiocies again: netbsd spills the default
359 namespace with lots of symbols "for gnu/gcc compatibility" even
360 though neither of them does it, and then calls the rest of the world
361 in need of fixing. go figure.
362 - on_keyboard_command is on_user_command (patch by Michael Witten).
363 - setting the selection from perl will now reset the selection screen
364 to the current screen. the screen can be manipulated using
365 the new ->selection_screen method.
366 - implement --enable-assert configure option and get rid of DEBUG_STRICT
367 (based on patch by Emanuele Giaquinta).

372
3739.06 Sat Nov 8 17:47:18 CET 2008
374 - NOTICE: this release updates terminfo/termcap.
375 - updates libev to 3.48.
376 - the aterm code now frees the as visual and image manager objects
377 when a window was closed.
378 - do not (wrongly) adjust the virtual line length inside
379 scr_insdel_chars/ERASE (Miroslav Lichvar).
380 - fix an issue where wide tab characters caused character shifts
381 when part of them was deleted (tracked down by Miroslav Lichvar).
382 - artificially enlargen the previous character at the end of a line
383 when trying to output a character that doesn't fit. looks ugly, but
384 makes copy&paste work.
385 - remove bogus "setuid/setgid security issues" from rxvt.1.pod, they
386 no longer apply.
387 - the urgency hint is now cleared on both focus in and focus out.
388 - cache urgency hint locally to avoid server rtt on every focus change.
389 - perl 5.10 needs PERL_SYS_INIT3 on hppa.
390 - ignore byte-order marks and do not treat them like combining characters.
391 - fix build issue when CURSOR_BLINK is not defined (Emanuele Giaquinta).
392 - do some µ-optimisations to the character fast path.
393 - use a less cunning, but more robust algorithm to avoid one terminal
394 monopolising the whole process by outputting a lot of text.
395 - try to work around linux first breaking sched_yield and now breaking
396 the only known workaround.
397 - new option -icon to set _NET_WM_ICON (based on patch by Frank Schmitt).
398 - initialise the as visual only on demand, instead of unconditionally,
399 to save memory in the common case of not using visual gimmicks.
400 - try to work around bugs in a few wm's that erroneously resize
401 client windows on hint property updates by temporarily
402 disabling size hints.
403 - implement the DECSTR soft reset sequence and use it for tput init,
404 and make hard RIS and DECSTR both reset more private modes, such
405 as mouse reporting.
406 - redundantly clear mouse reporting and a few other states in
407 tput init/tput reset, for older urxvts.
408 - partial/full clear screens did cause flickering and possibly pixel
409 droppings when urxvt viewed the scrollback buffer.
410 - use current rendition style in DCH sequence.
411 - the 132/80 mode switch no longer forces a screen reset.
412 - add an osc sequence to change the border colour (Emanuele Giaquinta).
413 - new perl extension "overlay-osc", for status displays and the like.
414 - fix some minor cursor drawing issues with overlays by allowing
415 overlays to modify screen flags (to disable the cursor themselves).
416 - work around programs not restoring rstyle before rmcup
417 (analysed by Miroslav Lichvar).
418
4199.05 Sun Jun 15 20:09:20 CEST 2008
420 - new option --cd/chdir to set the starting working directory.
421 - tabbed extension now starts in the "correct" working directory.
422 - work around fedora 9 providing isastream but not the relevant
423 header file for it (report by Tuncer Ayaz).
424 - upgrade libev, fixing a bug in the select backend.
425 with more than 31 file descriptors on non-linux 64 bit systems.
426 - correctly reset the multibyte state to the initial one
427 after EILSEQ (patch by Neil Booth). This fixes the
428 issue of rxvt-unicode not properly displaying text after an illegal
429 sequence on NetBSD and probably other systems.
430 - more intelligent property handling with -pe tabbed, works around
431 broken window managers (kwm et al.), saves bandwidth and should
432 help working window managers as well.
433 - made tabs moveable (based on a patch by Petr Machata).
434 - implement ESC [ 3 K as a more rational alternative to ESC [ 0 K.
435 - support relative paths for RXVT_SOCKET in urxvtd.
436 - the tabbed extension now blindly copies over all (rxvt-) resources
437 from the toplevel window to the children.
438 - better diagnostic on 0x0 window geometries.
439 - update AnyEvent API to version 3.4 and above.
440 - document the default value of :0 for DISPLAY.
441 - rename perl method XChangeWindowProperty to XChangeProperty.
442
4439.02 Tue Jan 29 11:58:36 CET 2008
444 - the "exg makes everybody happy" release.
445 - fix build with !xft.
446 - always compile in plain style scrollbar (simplifies code and looks great).
447
4489.01 Sat Jan 26 20:49:27 CET 2008
449 - be more aggressive about handling X events, this seems to be required
450 with newer xlibs (should fix the "screen stays black until event is
451 received" problem, again :)
452 - add buffered resource to control xft double-buffering.
453
4549.0 Fri Jan 25 19:34:04 CET 2008
455 - fix a crash bug where urxvtd would crash when urxvtc was called
456 with wrong arguments (I wish debian maintainers in general would
457 report bugs and their proposed fixes to the original package maintainers
458 instead of sitting on them for good measure to see if anybody notices).
459 - drawing xft compose characters was causing garbage to be drawn.
460 - correctly clear xft character background in all cases.
461 - implement bracketed paste mode (xterm private mode 2004).
462 - improve documentation on alpha channel handling, make urxvt
463 work better on servers lacking the RENDER extension when alpha
464 channels or background images are used.
465 - check for refresh after initialising to avoid staying blank
466 till the first event arrives. or so.
467 - the FORCE_UNBUFFERED_XFT feature macro works again.
468 - continuously update transparency while moving/resizing now.
469 - OSC 39/49 are deprecated and aliased to OSC 10/11.
470 - cub1 now acts as advertised (and ignores the "wrapped" state).
471 - the 132/80 mode switch now forces a height of 24, too, and
472 resets the terminal.
473 - scrollbar code cleanups.
474 - stopping children is no longer confused with children exiting.
475 - removed (undocumented) #aarrggbb format.
476 - updated to libev 3.0.
477
4788.9 Mon Dec 24 07:51:40 CET 2007
479 - fix the issue where urxvtd would not immediately close a window
480 when the command exited but only on the next X event.
481 - changed terminfo file not to use application keypad mode.
482 - fix the issue where making a selection in one urxvtd window
483 would not clear it visually in another.
484 - fix an issue of urxvt not getting background pixmap updates
485 and flickering after bg pixmap changes (reported by Mikachu).
486 - fix redraw bug in xterm scrollbar with -sr (reported by Mikachu).
487 - correctly provide dependencies for libev (µikachu).
488 - minor code reorganisations and cleanups.
489 - be more robust in case the urxvt-popup extension cannot be loaded.
490
4918.8 Sat Dec 15 19:40:39 CET 2007
492 - option -C was aliased to all unsupported options, activating
493 options that shouldn't be compiled in, leading to interesting
494 effects.
495 - updated libev, working around a bug in linux 2.4, curing the
496 symptom of urxvt not closing its window on shell exit. also
497 fixes a problem with urxvt not refreshing.
498 - the text blink callback was called even when no blinking
499 text was visible.
500 - pre-8.4 slipwheeling behaviour has been reinstated, with
501 some minor improvements.
502 - streamlined x events processing to only flush once per
503 display and not once per terminal window.
504 - quite a bit of minor code cleanups and codesize optimisations.
505
5068.7 Sun Nov 25 10:23:49 CET 2007
507 - update libev with an important bugfix that would cause crashes
508 when closing windows (when using rxvtd, and update is recommended).
509 - do not compile in the block builtin graphics with --disable-frills.
510
5118.6 Fri Nov 23 14:10:57 CET 2007
512 - upgrade libev to disable kqueue on anything but netbsd as it
513 seems to be broken everywhere else w.r.t. ptys.
514 - allow for spurious event notifications, as at least epoll and
515 especially solaris ports like to lie about them (symptoms:
516 urxvt "hangs" until there is some x11 related activity).
517 - -keysym command line options are now subjected to xlib parsing.
518 - add 'xrm' option analogous to Xt one.
519
5208.5a Wed Nov 21 10:16:33 CET 2007
521 - make it compile with --disable-transparency.
522
5238.5 Wed Nov 21 05:19:20 CET 2007
524 - expect major portability issues in this release: please test and report.
525 - converted from the veritable io manager event loop to
526 the high performance libev (http://software.schmorp.de/pkg/libev).
527 - minor tuning to the perl selection (include single words and more quoting chars).
528 - fix memory leak in pixmap code.
529 - fix a serious bug while setting the XIM destroy callback
530 on (typical) 64 bit systems.
531 - automove-background functionality re-implemented internally using :root op in pixmap
532 geometry string. For example: rxvt -pixmap "image.jpg;:root"
533 - do not link rxvtc against every lib on the planet anymore.
534 - parallel builds should work once more.
535
5368.4 Sat Oct 27 14:02:13 CEST 2007
537 - overhaul of the transparency/pixmap code (sasha).
538 - fix possible race between visual bell and poweron.
539 (reported by Martin von Gagern, gentoo?).
540 - urxvt -e no longer crashes the child.
541 - fixed some minor memleaks on incorrect usage or
542 missing DISPLAY.
543 - implement xterm 1002/1003 mouse tracking modes (exg).
544 - source code organisational cleanups (exg).
545 - updated io_manager.
546
5478.3 Wed Aug 1 20:21:31 CEST 2007
548 - new option: skipScroll/-ss, enabled by default.
549 - go with the times and expect x11 library files in /usr/lib, not
550 /usr/X11R6/lib.
551 - initial transparency improvement/afterimage support
552 patch by Sasha Vasko.
553 - add urgentOnBell resource to set the urgency hint
554 (patch by Philip Paeps).
555 - do not process focus events caused by grabs
556 (patch by Mikachu).
557 - add iso14755_52 resource to disable iso14755 5.2 (exg).
558 - add binding for backspace in iso14755 5.1 to remove the last
559 digit (exg).
560 - better option handling, support more than 30 options (exg).
561 - nuke reconf script, serves no purpose anymore.
562 - fixed and documented matcher/on_user_command processing in matcher
563 extension (tpope).
564 - compile out of the box on Solaris 10 (exg).
565 - fix MappingNotify events (reported by Stephan Walter).
566 - zero-initialise mwmhints, this seems to solve all sorts of minor
567 problems.
568
5698.2 Sat Feb 17 21:35:28 CET 2007
570 - fix make depend in src/, reported by exg.
571 - fixed typo in urxvt::GET_CUSTOM, causing the result to be wrong.
572 (patch by Sergey Vlasov).
573 - unbundled iom perl interface somewhat.
574 - scrollbar-xterm now uses the selected scrollColor instead of fg
575 (found by Aiviru).
576 - disabled linux kernel bug workaround again: disabling it gives
577 a 50% speed hit on affected machines, while enabling it gives
578 a similar speed hit to screen, which is likely the more common
579 case to work around for :/
580 - urxvt::rend2mask perl function, and utilization of it by matcher
581 (patch by Moshe Kamensky).
582 - use perl:matcher on a keysym to open most recently displayed URL.
583 - with matcher, when multiple patterns match, last wins, not first.
584 - fix make and make install with srcdir != builddir (exg).
585 - updated bundled libptytty to fix a bug where the tty would be kept
586 open (see the libptytty ChangeLog for details).
587 - delay setting the IUTF8 flag to after the tty settings have been
588 set so its value does not get lost (reported and analysed by Andrei
589 Paskevich).
590 - rip out support for obsolete sgtty.h interface.
591 - rip out support for non-POSIX termios variants.
592 - update libptytty.
593 - update iom.C, make it call ptytty::sanitise_stdfd on init.
594 - when !XFT, change rounding of colours to use a less correct formula to
595 meet user expectancies (#aaa becomes #a000a000a000 not #9f9f9f9f9f9f).
596 - change the starting offset of the pixmap set with backgroundPixmap
597 from (50,50) to (0,0) (exg).
598 - fix a typo in button_release, now meta-button2 request the value of
599 the Clipboard selection as it should (patch by Serge Koksharov).
600 - fix a bug in drawing a cell with a nonspacing char when using an xft
601 font with inheritPixmap and tintColor (exg).
602
6038.1 Thu Dec 7 22:27:25 CET 2006
604 - ｹﾘｽﾏｽﾌ゚ﾚｾ゙ﾝﾄ - zomg!!1, it's too early!!!
605 - fix the assumption that chars < 256 are single-width. Now
606 only assume this for codepoints 32 to 126 (reported by Dai.H.).
607 - $term->strwidth returned wide chars as width 1, because some jerk
608 confused min and max. Fixing this also fixes xim-onthespot.
609 Reported by Takano Akio.
610 - secondaryScroll is now enabled by default (as per the manpage),
611 reported by exg.
612 - correct the description of [percent]color rgba format in the manpage.
613 - incorporated macosx-clipboard extension by Samuel Ljungkvist.
614 - ignore (some) useless focus events (reported by mmc).
615 - updated compose table to unicode 5.0.0.
616
6178.0 Thu Nov 2 18:35:19 CET 2006
618 - combining characters cleared the area instead of creating an overlay,
619 thus losing the ability to draw combining characters properly in most
620 circumstances (reported by exg).
621 - specified fonts were incorrectly morphed to bold/italic according to the
622 basefont, even if explicitly specified (tracked down by tpope).
623 - fixed urxvt::strwidth to calculate width in the same way as screen.C.
624 - fix a crash caused by passing negative widths to overlay functions.
625 - added 'matcher' extension by tpope, replacing the mark-urls extension.
626 - improve url regex to match anything www.* (tpope).
627 - fixed bug with outline cursor color being wrong after xft fonts.
628 - update to libptytty-1.0.
629 - give proper diagnostic when RXVT_SOCKET is too long instead of
630 corrupting the stack (patch by exg).
631 - display current terminal locale in option menu.
632 - urxvtd no longer crashes when the client sends an inaccessible
633 working directory (reported by Roland Baer, possibly fixes gentoo
634 bug #143985).
635 - fixed many minor issues reported by Roland Baer.
636 - Leonid Khramov spotted a minor glitch in rxvtfont.C that
637 should not have any consequences, but was buggy nonetheless.
638 - manpage fix by exg.
639
6407.9 Mon Aug 7 18:16:07 CEST 2006
641 - fix the crashing bug people encountered with 7.8 + urxvtd + perl
642 + transparency. Ought to fix debian bug #380348.
643 - fix urxvtc.1.pod: it actually claimed -pty-fd would not work. But
644 it does! :->
645 - rxvt_fatal() in case the locale string is too long for our static buffer.
646 - fixed many, many, typos in the manpages (patch supplied by ves).
647
6487.8 Mon Jul 17 21:00:46 CEST 2006
649 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: this version will always read ~/.Xdefaults,
650 earlier versions only read it if display-resources (usually from
651 .Xresources) are not set. This avoids the #1 FAQ ("why isn't my
652 resource used") and seems to be logical behaviour, too. .Xdefaults
653 resources have a lower priority than display-specific resources.
654 - add "kuake" perl extension that does a similar thing to the kuake
655 terminal emulator (see man urxvtperl).
656 - use less "correct" color scaling that is compatible with libX11 and
657 Xft (avoids off-by-one colors resulting in striped backgrounds).
658 - the "depth" resource is now respected.
659 - preset the searchable-scrollback pattern with "(?i)" to default search
660 to case-insensitivity. Will automatically be cleared when typing an
661 uppercase character.
662 - add FORCE_UNBUFFERED_XFT define to features.h.
663 - re-enabled highlightcolor support with --enable-frills, based on
664 a patch by Martin Stubenschrott.
665 - double-buffered xft drawing did suffer from pixel offset issues
666 when pixmap transparency was enabled.
667 - strategically add # to the url-match regexes, as we really want to
668 match common URIs not common URLs. Reported by Aaron Griffin.
669 - moved on_osc_seq to on_osc_seq_perl and added a more
670 generic osc_seq.
671 - fix a bug causing double callback invocations when perl hooks
672 were invoked recursively.
673 - the automove-background extension now properly works when the
674 pixmap gets reset with an osc sequence (sqweek).
675 - selection-pastebin did not work properly with non-latin1-characters.
676 - apply colorUL only when the text colour is the default fg
677 (patch by Wu Fengguang).
678 - removed rxvtlib.h from the tarball, it had no reason to be there
679 (spotted by Decklin Foster).
680 - fix compiling with TRANSPARENT but !XPM_BACKGROUND, as reported
681 by omatunto_.
682 - slap in a using namespace std, might help on platforms that don't
683 follow C++ closely enough.
684 - fix mailto url regex, spotted within milliseconds by Jost Krieger.
685 - applied fade_color_update_func.patch by WU Fengguang.
686 - fix a bug where (due to an optimisation in av_delete), hiding the
687 bottom-most overlay would hide two overlays.
688
6897.7 Tue Feb 21 12:32:49 CET 2006
690 - use double-buffered drawing (xft fonts only). On many driver/hardware
691 combination this actually increases xft drawing speed, at the expense
692 of more network bandwidth and slight nausea on the side of the author.
693 - readline perl extension now requires shift-click instead of a normal
694 click, and eats the click.
695 - tabbed perl extension now supports -e.
696 - disabled graphics-exposures on the main drawing GC, report any
697 refresh bugs please.
698 - improve property handling for -pe tabbed: avoid unnecessary property
699 changes (for kde's benefit) at the expense of extra round-trips,
700 improve size hint setting.
701 - modified XIM according to a patch sent by Takano Akio that sets
702 the preedit rectangle for OverTheSpot, which helps some input methods
703 to correctly position their preedit window.
704 - un-optimise the line clearing on newly scrolled-in lines a bit: the
705 former reasoning was that any fg colour on default bg looks the same
706 in empty spaces, but that's not true when reversing (e.g. selection),
707 so also check for matching fg colours. This fixes the problem where
708 selecting newly scrolled-in lines would exhibit wrong colours.
709 - fix a bug in the perl interface causing focus in events to generate
710 focus out perl events, causing bad focus effects with -pe tabbed.
711 - fix a race resulting in a crash on exiting.
712 - fix a with --disable-xft that caused xfreecolors to be called on
713 colors never allocated, resulting in aborts (reported by Paco-Paco).
714 - resources on non-initial screens weren't refetched correctly
715 (reported by Paco-Paco).
716 - fix a bug in xcopyarea pass and _disable_ it, as it seems not to be
717 working in either rxvt-unicode nor in the original rxvt.
718 - removed undocumented -exec alias for the -e option.
719
7207.6 Fri Feb 10 08:52:36 CET 2006
721 - changed interpretation of [alpha] colour prefix.
722 - +option now really sets the option to default, instead of using the
723 resource value.
724 - options that require an argument now really _require_ an argument.
725 - the tabbed extension now forwards focus and key events to the
726 relevant tab window.
727 - tab colours are now configurable and have sensible defaults
728 (initial patch by hednod).
729 - option menu is extendable, readline, selection and
730 selection-autotransform can now be disabled/enabled at runtime.
731 - forcing a configure event to tabbed subwindows with -pe tabbed, for
732 the benefit of automove-background.
733 - the automove-background extension added a wrong constant offset.
734 - force refresh of XA_RESOURCE_STRING on virtual reconnect.
735 - return exit status 2 in urxvtc when urxvtd couldn't be contacted.
736 - the linux yield hack is back, now using usleep, and enabled only on
737 __linux__.
738 - further round trip eliminations in the !XFT case by remembering
739 the colour components.
740 - plain scrollbar works better with -sr.
741 - fixed half-shadow scrollbar look.
742 - more colour rtt optimisations.
743 - properly(?) free colours on window close.
744 - reorganised the FAQ into multiple sections.
745 - add ISO646.1991-IRV to the list of supported codesets.
746 - minor libptytty update.
747
7487.5 Tue Jan 31 15:15:43 CET 2006
749 - further improvements to the careful mode detection, and font width
750 detection:
751 - fully double-wide fonts will now be correctly treated,
752 - overlap detection was improved.
753 - detect totally broken fonts (usually synthesized by xft).
754 - careful mode forced refresh sometimes clashed with blinking,
755 causing unnecessary screen redraws.
756 - better handling of XFT combining characters.
757 - enable antialiasing for some replacement fonts, as they
758 might get used for other encodings which really need it, later.
759 - remove spacing=100 from all default fonts, as this creates totally
760 weird spacing (5 times normal) with xft.
761 - removed iso10646 fallback, as xorgs iso10646 encoded fonts are mostly
762 broken.
763 - removed gnu unifont fallback, all combining characters are broken.
764 - replace named colours by xorg's rgb.txt equivalents, to
765 reduce round trip time on startup, and short-cut allocation
766 of rgb:rr/gg/bb for xft.
767 - short-cut allocation of rgb values in the xlib case
768 (patch by Paco-Paco).
769 - overhauled color management: smaller codesize, alpha support.
770 - support "rgba:rrrr/gggg/bbbb/aaaa" color specifications and
771 an "[alpha]" prefix.
772 - try to work around Xft and Xrender forcing everything to be 100%
773 transparent. Long Live Xft!
774 - do not include X11/Intrinsic.h anymore, directly use
775 Xlib/Xutil/Xresource directly.
776 - try to find a nearest matching color when color allocation fails
777 on a pseudocolor screen.
778 - SYNCCVS: compared to rxvt-cvs 2006-01-28, no relevant changes.
779 - fix version report (DA) (which was unfortunately broken).
780 - changed version number report again, now to emulate xterm closer.
781 - added the OSC sequence 702 to detect the urxvt version number.
782 - small configure updates.
783 - further RTT optimisations.
784 - backported clean-up patches for makefiles and documentation from
785 the debian package.
786 - updated doc/rxvt-unicode.spec file. It's still not maintained here,
787 but much newer than the old one.
788
7897.4 Sat Jan 28 15:26:27 CET 2006
790 - screen background wasn't always erased properly when scrolling,
791 - re-enabled clearing optimisation disabled in 7.4pre.
792 - small configure updates for libptytty.
793 - fixed version options: line output.
794 - removed stoopid debugging message left in the code.
795
7967.3 Wed Jan 25 22:47:35 CET 2006
797 - don't let iso14755 or mouse reporting get into the way of perl
798 (could lead to global grabs never being cleared).
799 - experimental OnTheSpot editing support (-pe xim-onthespot).
800 - moved Shift-Button2 paste combination to Meta-Button2.
801 - the cutchars resource will now be respected and used by the
802 selection extension.
803 - added the "remote-clipboard" extension which just runs external
804 commands to fetch and store the selection data.
805 - added -depth switch that tries to get a different visual depth
806 than the default (replaces the old PREFER_24_BIT logic).
807 - removed (unused) arabic presentation form composing sequences.
808 - be more strict when deciding that a core font glyph is too wide and
809 needs the careful rendering mode.
810 - allow more leeway for italic fonts when deciding that a character is
811 too wide and needs careful mode.
812 - redraw even more characters around characters using careful mode.
813 - made selection-pastebin fully asynchronous.
814 - reduced number of server turnarounds at startup by allocating
815 atoms only once per display.
816 - renamed on_keyboard_command to on_user_command.
817 - changed version sos (ESC [ > c) response to be more compatible with
818 xterm.
819
8207.2 Sun Jan 22 21:58:16 CET 2006
821 - bugfix: urxvt (not urxvtd) did not correctly handle multiple
822 environments necessary, which resulted in segfaults within
823 getenv (reproducible: urxvt -fn 9x15, open a menu once,
824 ctrl-shift-672c).
825 - bugfix: the selection speedup in in 7.1 unfortunately caused
826 non-ascii characters to enlarge/move the selection.
827 - bugfix: resizing sometimes leaked lines from the secondary to
828 the primary screen.
829 - bugfix: reducing window size while large amounts of text were output
830 could lead to an assertion failure.
831 - added "tabbed" extension that provides a crude tabbed terminal.
832 - added "readline" extension that allows cursor positioning
833 via mouse clicks.
834 - now it is possible to insert the value of the CLIPBOARD selection
835 with shift - mouse button 2.
836 - fixed the automove-background extension to ignore coordinates
837 in non-synthetic events.
838 - created a separate libpty for portable and secure
839 pty/tty/utmp/wtmp/lastlog handling, and include it in rxvt-unicode.
840 - the non-terminfo visual bell now works asynchronously, so
841 continuous ASCI BELs in one terminal do no longer monopolise the
842 whole urxvt[d] process.
843 - support some *BSD makes (for the time being, gnu make is a safe bet).
844 - work around bugs in FreeBSD's gcc.
845 - implemented some *BSD fixes in configure.
846 - removed support for obsolete offix dnd protocol.
847
8487.1 Thu Jan 19 20:25:34 CET 2006
849 - setuid/setgid operation is now _encouraged_: security has been
850 improved by moving privileged operations into a separate process
851 and permanently dropping privileges within the terminal. This
852 makes it possible to remove security checks from the perl code
853 and gives a much safer feeling when urxvt needs to run with
854 special privileges.
855 - perl taint checking disabled, as urxvt no longer runs setuid/setgid
856 itself.
857 - new perl extension automove-background that can be used to get
858 the same effect as pseudo-transparency with any pixmap.
859 - new perl extension example: perl/selection-pastebin, can be used to
860 e.g. upload the selection to a webserver and generate a url, or
861 similar stuff.
862 - use the scrollback buffer even when the scroll region doesn't
863 span the whole screen, as long as it starts at row 0. Helps
864 for programs displaying a status line at the bottom.
865 - selection popup now shows selection in dec/hex/oct.
866 - perl/selection: matching on unicode characters in the selection
867 code was O(n²), which equals infinity in some degenerate cases
868 :-> Matching is now done on UTF-8, which makes it almost instant.
869 - perl/selection, perl/selection-autotransform: regexes are now
870 being interpreted in the locale urxvt was started.
871 - implemented override-redirect option and enabled it on menus,
872 as kwin puts our windows behind the terminal (what a shoddy wm).
873 - fixed struct utmp check in configure for OpenBSD.
874 - complete overhaul of the pty/utmp management stuff and configure
875 (Emanuele Giaquinta=exg).
876 - add tsl/fsl and related capabilities to the terminfo description,
877 to set the window title.
878 - swap the environment in some more cases. This hopefully fixes
879 some segfaults that might be caused by xft asking for env variables
880 at the wrong time.
881 - removed src/strings.C and src/menubar.C. No menubar support
882 anymore.
883 - removed all traces of SMOOTH_REFRESH.
884 - nuked QNX support.
885 - made some fixes to xpm offset and scaling code.
886 - perl-overlays and refresh hooks were not applied in correct order.
887 - changed coordinate-system of view_start/nsaved to be top to bottom.
888 - iom extended to support listening for child exits.
889
8907.0 Fri Jan 13 14:02:18 CET 2006
891 - added sections for DISTRIBUTION MAINTAINERS and about
892 SETUID/SETGID to the FAQ.
893 - selection, searchable-scrollback, selection-popup and
894 option-popup extensions enabled by default.
895 - increased xft drawing speed for problematic fonts. The effect
896 will likely be small as 99% of the xft slowness is server-related.
897 - perl: much increased functionality, better overlays, popup support
898 and much much more.
899 - perl: urxvt::line now can set via ->t and ->r.
900 - perl: changed interpretation of --perl-ext-common and -pe.
901 - perl: finally implemented --perl-eval.
902 - perl: non-blocking anyevent support.
903 - perl: run tainted and ignore perl-eval/perl-lib if started
904 setuid/setgid.
905 - free the resource database: this plugs a massive memory leak. As a
906 side effect, it also gets rid of XGetDefault calls.
907 - free one of the cursors, fixes a small memory leak.
908 - built-in (as opposed to terminfos) visual bell was broken/too fast.
909 - applied minor cleanups by Ladislav Michnovic.
910 - applied pty handling cleanups and improvements (Emanuele Giaquinta).
911 - mark-urls launch-on-click by jepler.
912 - removed "small" resource parsing function, as it wasn't really
913 compatible, and not really small either.
914 - removed PATH_ENV and PATH file search support.
915 - removed support for locale-specific app-defaults file.
916 - fixed a bug where out-of-bounds colour sequences could lead
917 to crashes.
918 - limit colour changing to the standard 88 palette instead of all
919 colours.
920 - XTerm_Color01 sequence returned wrong results in query mode.
921 - iom.C now checks against destructed io_manager when unregistering.
922
9236.3 Wed Jan 4 22:37:10 CET 2006
924 - SECURITY FIX: on systems using openpty, permissions were
925 not correctly updated on the tty device and were left as
926 world-readable and world-writable (likely in original rxvt,
927 too), and were not restored properly. Affected are only
928 systems where non-unix ptys were used (such as most BSDs, not
929 GNU/Linux). (found, patched and debugged by Ryan Beasley).
930 - meta8 support was forcefully enabled in most configurations.
931 restored configurability of this (useless) feature (reported
932 by Mikachu).
933 - optionally embed a perl interpreter, which can be used for more
934 intelligent/customized selection support, visual feedback,
935 menus, tabs etc. See the the urxvtperl manpage, the -pe option,
936 perl*-resources and keysym resources. Not everything is there yet.
937 - try to be more clever about differing font sizes and their ascent.
938 Not guaranteed to work, but works better in most cases now.
939 - fix directory permissions on install.
940 - implemented option to disable built-in line drawing characters
941 and fall back to the font ones (patch by Martin Pohlack).
942 - disabled sched_yield support: the linux version is just too useless
943 (it schedules nice'd processes before the own one for extended
944 periods). Too bad, it could reduce system time by a factor of 5 here.
945
9466.2 Mon Jan 2 16:03:01 CET 2006
947 - implemented intensityStyles option which enables/disables bold/blink
948 selecting high intensity foreground/background colours, suggested by
949 Chuck Blake.
950 - move iso14755 character feedback box out of the way if it would
951 obscure the mouse cursor position.
952 - replaced callback.h by a fixed version from gvpe that correctly
953 returns the callback result (affects new -pty-fd semantics in urxvtc
954 on a few architectures). Reported by darix.
955 - include one trailing space in rectangular selections to indicate
956 the inserted newline (yeah, weird, but visually more pleasing).
957 - try to use sched_yield to (drastically) improve terminal data
958 transfer efficiency.
959 - further minor cleanups.
960
9616.1 Tue Dec 27 13:23:40 CET 2005
962 - update iso8859-7 table (euro and drachma round-trip et al.).
963 - fix a crash when the selection scrolls out of the scrollback
964 while the user still drags.
965 - selections that were partially scrolled out of the window were
966 not drawn correctly.
967 - lines newly scrolled in were not initialized properly, leading
968 to extremely long lines and (hopefully) some segfaults.
969 - iso14755 overlay position was wrong.
970 - iso14755 overlay now displays rendition info, too.
971 - use unicode white space class instead of hardcoded values for
972 stripping whitespace.
973 - do whitespace stripping on rectangular selections.
974 - slight cleanups in src/features.h.
975
9766.0 Sat Dec 24 13:58:56 CET 2005
977 - make it compile without SMART_RESIZE again.
978 - enable slow link support by default.
979 - fix relative cursor-positioning not respecting scrolling regions
980 (also a bug in original rxvt).
981 - initialize termios structure to zero when fetching it fails
982 (see http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=84647 for a
983 partial patch).
984 - bump max columns/rows to 10000 each.
985 - bump max savelines to 10000000.
986 - -pty-fd now passes the urxvtc fd to the urxvtd process.
987 - avoid linking against -lnsl/-lsocket/-lxpg4 unless necessary.
988 - major code cleanup (still not complete, though).
989 - implement -hold option.
990 - _major_ rewrite of internal buffer handling:
991 - re-flow on resize, lines get wrapped instead of winged.
992 - circular line buffer (substantially speeds up scrolling).
993 - slightly less code + data memory usage per terminal.
994 - slight overall speed improvements.
995 - considerably improved code clarity.
996 - partial-screen scrolls no longer end up in the scrollback
997 buffer.
998
9995.9 Sat Dec 17 21:53:17 CET 2005
1000 - fix a bug in the menu code of unknown impact, found by darix.
1001 - clean up signal handling to be global, not per terminal
1002 (matters only for rxvtd).
1003 - fix small typoe in rxvt.1 (found by Mike Fabian).
1004 - don't crash when broken xft/fontconfig/freetype versions return
1005 bogus data, ignore the xft font instead (experienced on suse).
1006
10075.8 Tue Oct 25 22:21:45 CEST 2005
1008 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: many configure options are now on by default.
1009 If you want the old behaviour, try:
1010 configure --disable-everything <your enable options>
1011 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: -fade changed its meaning to comply with
1012 the documentation and common sense: when upgrading, replace your
1013 percentage by 100-percentage.
1014 - integrated "fade to specific colour" patch by Martin Parm.
1015 - slow down the internal visual bell (delay by 20ms) and update
1016 the terminfo flash code to use the same delay. This is
1017 synchronous, so many bells might inhibit screen updates in other
1018 windows.
1019 - text with background==foreground colour gets displayed with default
1020 bg/fg now when in reverse video, so it can be seen when selecting.
1021 - allow koi8r* as x11 encoding name for koi8r (Nikita Danilov).
1022 - removed undocumented inheritPixmapforce option.
1023 - replaced INSTALL file.
1024
10255.7 Wed Jul 13 04:46:33 CEST 2005
1026 - implement some useful (hopefully) options for rxvtd.
1027 - separate and improved rxvtc(1) and rxvtd(1) manpages.
1028 - fix a bug that caused segfaults on startup on systems that do
1029 not support local unix connections, e.g cygwin. (btw, I didn't
1030 even know about the -rootless and -multiwindow Cygwin/X modes).
1031 - large amounts of text without control sequences or newlines
1032 could almost freeze output. This has been fixed by adding extra
1033 refreshes in these cases (also a problem in original rxvt).
1034
10355.6 Sun Jun 26 22:11:13 CEST 2005
1036 - R_SB_RXVT bitset value was 0, so rxvt scrollbar was initialised
1037 every time resulting in display errors (original rxvt also affected).
1038 Reported by Jasmin Buchert.
1039 - font names are now considered to be utf-8 encoded (xft apparently
1040 uses this convention. X Core fonts might not, but it should be rare).
1041 Affects display in iso14755 box.
1042 - rewrote the low-level xft drawing function ("xft backend" for the
1043 hipper parts of the world) to hopefully cope better with proportional
1044 chars mixed with fixed-width ones.
1045 - rxvt is now much more careful (read: slower) with potentially
1046 overlapping xft characters. It usually overshoots and redraws
1047 more than required, but that's better than undershooting and
1048 cutting pieces off of characters.
1049 - rxvt is now more restrictive in what font heights it accepts for
1050 fonts that will likely overshoot or undershoot lines.
1051 - fix a cosmetic problem with the unfocused cursor on a wide character
1052 at the end of the line (reported by Mikachu).
1053 - wide characters not fitting into the end of the line will be
1054 output in the next line (reported by Mikachu).
1055 - added doc/solaris9.patch by Ewgenij Starostin.
1056
10575.5 Sat Apr 23 22:31:36 CEST 2005
1058 - re-enabled modifier state matching as in 5.3, but implement
1059 a new builtin: keysym style that simply reverts to the built-in
1060 meaning of the given key.
1061 - use scrollcolor for next scrollbar instead of hardcoded antiquewhite
1062 (patch by Martin Edlman).
1063
10645.4 Mon Apr 18 00:33:31 CEST 2005
1065 - match modifier state exactly in custom keyboard code.
1066 this is necessary because it has no knowledge about
1067 built-in mappings and so will overwrite them. the priority-code
1068 will be re-enabled when this has changed, so watch out.
1069 - cursor blinking now depends on frills.
1070 - underline cursor mode (frills, -uc).
1071 - implement special value (*g*) for pointerBlankDelay
1072 to disable it.
1073
10745.3 Sun Mar 13 00:20:44 CET 2005
1075 - fix a bug that allowed to overflow a buffer via a long
1076 escape sequence, which is probably exploitable (fix by
1077 Rob Holland / Yoann Vandoorselaere / Gentoo Audit Team).
1078 - Custom key mappings no longer confuse mouse buttons
1079 with modifiers.
1080 - use XmbSetWMProperties instead of XSetWMProperties.
1081 - properly update WM_LOCALE.
1082 - implement _NET_WM_PING protocol.
1083 - implemented escape sequences to move the scrollback buffer view
1084 and clear the scrollback buffer.
1085
10865.2 Sun Feb 20 01:48:59 CET 2005
