24http://ue.tst.eu/71d7dbd1fcfeaa7d2a4b96eb957d570c.txt
25 - the "schmorp=north korea dickey=south korea" release.
26 - if options were compiled out, this could lead to the option
27 count to be defined wrongly. This is likely behind the
28 failures with gcc 4.5.
29 - explicitly depend on fontconfig and xrender when xft support
30 is enabled. Although the public Xft api uses types from
31 both, in recent Xft releases these libs are private
32 dependencies only thanks to an idiotic behaviour of
33 pkg-config that was added to workaround cases like this one.
34 Fixes linking when using GNU ld with --as-needed or GNU gold
35 (based on patch by Jan Palus).
36 - fix regression in urxvtd that prevented options from being correctly
37 set (reported by Michal Vaner).
38 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: make OSC 20 simpler and more correct
39 (Emanuele Giaquinta).
40 - implement xterm's horribly broken 1005 mouse reporting mode,
41 and an alternative 1015 mode that works in non-utf-8 locales
42 and has fewer limitations.
43 - fix a possible bug where mouse notifications didn't work after
44 startup for the upper left corner.
45 - implement our own pixbuf to pixmap rendering to get rid of
46 dependency on buggy gdk-pixbuf-xlib. Only truecolor visuals
47 are supported (Emanuele Giaquinta).
48 - apply tinting before shading when both operations are requested.
49 Previously they were intermixed when lightening and the result
50 was inaccurate and confusing. Note that now a black tint yields a
51 completely black image, regardless of shading (Emanuele Giaquinta).
52 - avoid spurious redraws of the bg image when bg is transparent or
53 when using 'root' mode (Emanuele Giaquinta).
54 - fix build on XFree86.
55 - dynamically number option according to compiletime requirements.
56 For the extra saved byte. Or so. Yay.
57
589.09 Sat Nov 13 01:39:07 CET 2010
59 - NOTICE: this release updates terminfo/termcap.
60 - the bestest release ever.
61 - it was verified that urxvt handles µ and μ correctly.
62 - add support for blending and blurring with XRender (Emanuele Giaquinta).
63 - add support for using gdk-pixbuf as image backend (Emanuele Giaquinta).
64 - cleanup and minor fixes of the image code (Emanuele Giaquinta).
65 - new perl extension "confirm-paste" (Emanuele Giaquinta).
66 - new on_tt_paste perl hook and tt_paste perl binding (Emanuele Giaquinta).
67 - new on_bell perl hook (Emanuele Giaquinta).
68 - searchable-scrollback no longer ignores the first line
69 (Emanuele Giaquinta).
70 - properly set VSTATUS in termios for *BSD (reported by Ed Schouten).
71 - fix utmpx detection on upcoming FreeBSD 9.
72 - Use COMPOUND_TEXT encoding for WM_NAME/WM_ICON_NAME value when it
73 is not fully convertible to STRING (patch by James Cloos).
74 - fix a buffer overflow that would cause wrong key sequences to
75 be generated for numpad keys (introduced in 9.05).
76 - fix definition of sgr0 to work around limitations in luit.
77 - extend ISO 14755 5.4 mode to also print the font name of the
78 characters other than first one in the selected cell
79 (Emanuele Giaquinta).
80 - new iso14755 option to disable ISO 14755 at runtime
81 (Emanuele Giaquinta).
82 - make sure pagewise scrolling scrolls at least one line
83 (found by Mikachu).
84 - remove deprecated OSC 18 / 19 and make OSC 17 / 19 apply to
85 highlightColor / highlightTextColor (Emanuele Giaquinta).
86 - add highlightTextColor resource to change the foreground colour of
87 highlighted characters (Emanuele Giaquinta).
88 - make highlightColor apply also to selected cells with reverse video
89 but not to non selected cells with reverse video (Emanuele Giaquinta).

92 - reduce the number of custom bits to 4, to make room
93 for 256 colours.
94 - add support for 256 colors (Emanuele Giaquinta, Marc Lehmann).
95 - add rxvt-unicode-256color terminfo and use it by default in 256 colors mode.
96 - update rxvt-unicode terminfo to state 7744 colour pairs to cover all
97 88*88 possible pairs.
98 - actually added macosx-clipboard-native, which should have been in
99 the 9.07 release but had been forgotten.
100 - fix hang if DECAWM is not set and there are not enough columns to insert a
101 character (Emanuele Giaquinta).
102 - cub1 ("backspace") will now respect wrapping when past the rightmost column,
103 working around a shortcoming of most tty line discipline's line editing.
104 - add support for grabbing the clipboard selection and extend
105 selection{_clear,_grab,} perl bindings to optionally work
106 on the clipboard selection (based on patch by Dana Jansens).
107 - no longer force CERASE to BACKSPACE - use the system default. affects
108 default value for VERASE only when no compatible setting for
109 backspacekey was given.
110 - use higher than 38400 baudrate setting, if detected.
111 - erase screen would clear to the wrong background when blinking
112 was enabled (which selects high intensity under some circumstances).
113 - scr_kill_char didn't touch the line.
114 - upgrade and port to libev-4.01.

116
1179.07 Wed Dec 30 07:07:18 CET 2009
118 - port to glibc-2.10 changes (strchr etc. returning const char *
119 in C++), based on patches by Milos Jakubicek and Oliver Mader.
120 - the binary search algorithm to find precomposed characters
121 was faulty, skipping some possible combinations (found by
122 Mikachu).
123 - new -letterspace option, patch by Mark H. Wilkinson.
124 - enable --mlock option for urxvt with frills on
125 systems supporting it (patch by Russell Harmon).
126 - urxvt did not compile without frills enabled
127 (analysed by Matthew Rosewarne).
128 - correctly reset the mbstate after an illegal
129 input sequence when handling terminal output (Emanuele Giaquinta).
130 - avoid redrawing wide characters with combining enabled on every
131 refresh (reported by Mikachu).
132 - fix a typo preventing the ISO-646.1991 character set from being
133 recognized (http://achurch.org/patch-pile/).
134 - better warning for x11 font encoding detection failures, also,
135 try to deduce encoding from both font properties and name
136 (adapted from http://achurch.org/patch-pile/).
137 - resizing the window with the scrollbar disabled via the escapes
138 sequence could make the window bigger again (Mikachu).
139 - make sure the alignment for fd passing control messages
140 is correct and work around some NetBSD issues (Taylor R Campbell).
141 - update to libptytty 1.3.
142 - replace macosx-clipboard by a nicer version by Reza Jelveh, and move
143 the old version to macosx-clipboard-native.
144 - document the -uc option (Emanuele Giaquinta).
145 - assertions in libev are now enabled depending on frills.
146 - update AnyEvent implementation to version 5.23 API.
147 - work around arrogant bsd idiocies again: netbsd spills the default
148 namespace with lots of symbols "for gnu/gcc compatibility" even
149 though neither of them does it, and then calls the rest of the world
150 in need of fixing. go figure.
151 - on_keyboard_command is on_user_command (patch by Michael Witten).
152 - setting the selection from perl will now reset the selection screen
153 to the current screen. the screen can be manipulated using
154 the new ->selection_screen method.
155 - implement --enable-assert configure option and get rid of DEBUG_STRICT
156 (based on patch by Emanuele Giaquinta).
157 - fix printpipe data output (patch by Emanuele Giaquinta).
158 - allow `xxx' quoting style for perl selection.
159 - upgrade to libev-3.9 prerelease.
160 - updated compose tables to unicode 5.2.0.
161
1629.06 Sat Nov 8 17:47:18 CET 2008
163 - NOTICE: this release updates terminfo/termcap.
164 - updates libev to 3.48.
165 - the aterm code now frees the as visual and image manager objects
166 when a window was closed.
167 - do not (wrongly) adjust the virtual line length inside
168 scr_insdel_chars/ERASE (Miroslav Lichvar).
169 - fix an issue where wide tab characters caused character shifts
170 when part of them was deleted (tracked down by Miroslav Lichvar).
171 - artificially enlargen the previous character at the end of a line
172 when trying to output a character that doesn't fit. looks ugly, but
173 makes copy&paste work.
174 - remove bogus "setuid/setgid security issues" from rxvt.1.pod, they
175 no longer apply.
176 - the urgency hint is now cleared on both focus in and focus out.
177 - cache urgency hint locally to avoid server rtt on every focus change.
178 - perl 5.10 needs PERL_SYS_INIT3 on hppa.
179 - ignore byte-order marks and do not treat them like combining characters.
180 - fix build issue when CURSOR_BLINK is not defined (Emanuele Giaquinta).
181 - do some µ-optimisations to the character fast path.
182 - use a less cunning, but more robust algorithm to avoid one terminal
183 monopolising the whole process by outputting a lot of text.
184 - try to work around linux first breaking sched_yield and now breaking
185 the only known workaround.
186 - new option -icon to set _NET_WM_ICON (based on patch by Frank Schmitt).
187 - initialise the as visual only on demand, instead of unconditionally,
188 to save memory in the common case of not using visual gimmicks.
189 - try to work around bugs in a few wm's that erroneously resize
190 client windows on hint property updates by temporarily
191 disabling size hints.
192 - implement the DECSTR soft reset sequence and use it for tput init,
193 and make hard RIS and DECSTR both reset more private modes, such
194 as mouse reporting.
195 - redundantly clear mouse reporting and a few other states in
196 tput init/tput reset, for older urxvts.
197 - partial/full clear screens did cause flickering and possibly pixel
198 droppings when urxvt viewed the scrollback buffer.
199 - use current rendition style in DCH sequence.
200 - the 132/80 mode switch no longer forces a screen reset.
201 - add an osc sequence to change the border colour (Emanuele Giaquinta).
202 - new perl extension "overlay-osc", for status displays and the like.
203 - fix some minor cursor drawing issues with overlays by allowing
204 overlays to modify screen flags (to disable the cursor themselves).
205 - work around programs not restoring rstyle before rmcup
206 (analysed by Miroslav Lichvar).
207
2089.05 Sun Jun 15 20:09:20 CEST 2008
209 - new option --cd/chdir to set the starting working directory.
210 - tabbed extension now starts in the "correct" working directory.
211 - work around fedora 9 providing isastream but not the relevant
212 header file for it (report by Tuncer Ayaz).
213 - upgrade libev, fixing a bug in the select backend.
214 with more than 31 file descriptors on non-linux 64 bit systems.
215 - correctly reset the multibyte state to the initial one
216 after EILSEQ (patch by Neil Booth). This fixes the
217 issue of rxvt-unicode not properly displaying text after an illegal
218 sequence on NetBSD and probably other systems.
219 - more intelligent property handling with -pe tabbed, works around
220 broken window managers (kwm et al.), saves bandwidth and should
221 help working window managers as well.
222 - made tabs moveable (based on a patch by Petr Machata).
223 - implement ESC [ 3 K as a more rational alternative to ESC [ 0 K.
224 - support relative paths for RXVT_SOCKET in urxvtd.
225 - the tabbed extension now blindly copies over all (rxvt-) resources
226 from the toplevel window to the children.
227 - better diagnostic on 0x0 window geometries.
228 - update AnyEvent API to version 3.4 and above.
229 - document the default value of :0 for DISPLAY.
230 - rename perl method XChangeWindowProperty to XChangeProperty.
231
2329.02 Tue Jan 29 11:58:36 CET 2008
233 - the "exg makes everybody happy" release.
234 - fix build with !xft.
235 - always compile in plain style scrollbar (simplifies code and looks great).
236
2379.01 Sat Jan 26 20:49:27 CET 2008
238 - be more aggressive about handling X events, this seems to be required
239 with newer xlibs (should fix the "screen stays black until event is
240 received" problem, again :)
241 - add buffered resource to control xft double-buffering.
242
2439.0 Fri Jan 25 19:34:04 CET 2008
244 - fix a crash bug where urxvtd would crash when urxvtc was called
245 with wrong arguments (I wish debian maintainers in general would
246 report bugs and their proposed fixes to the original package maintainers
247 instead of sitting on them for good measure to see if anybody notices).
248 - drawing xft compose characters was causing garbage to be drawn.
249 - correctly clear xft character background in all cases.
250 - implement bracketed paste mode (xterm private mode 2004).
251 - improve documentation on alpha channel handling, make urxvt
252 work better on servers lacking the RENDER extension when alpha
253 channels or background images are used.
254 - check for refresh after initialising to avoid staying blank
255 till the first event arrives. or so.
256 - the FORCE_UNBUFFERED_XFT feature macro works again.
257 - continuously update transparency while moving/resizing now.
258 - OSC 39/49 are deprecated and aliased to OSC 10/11.
259 - cub1 now acts as advertised (and ignores the "wrapped" state).
260 - the 132/80 mode switch now forces a height of 24, too, and
261 resets the terminal.
262 - scrollbar code cleanups.
263 - stopping children is no longer confused with children exiting.
264 - removed (undocumented) #aarrggbb format.
265 - updated to libev 3.0.
266
2678.9 Mon Dec 24 07:51:40 CET 2007
268 - fix the issue where urxvtd would not immediately close a window
269 when the command exited but only on the next X event.
270 - changed terminfo file not to use application keypad mode.
271 - fix the issue where making a selection in one urxvtd window
272 would not clear it visually in another.
273 - fix an issue of urxvt not getting background pixmap updates
274 and flickering after bg pixmap changes (reported by Mikachu).
275 - fix redraw bug in xterm scrollbar with -sr (reported by Mikachu).
276 - correctly provide dependencies for libev (µikachu).
277 - minor code reorganisations and cleanups.
278 - be more robust in case the urxvt-popup extension cannot be loaded.
279
2808.8 Sat Dec 15 19:40:39 CET 2007
281 - option -C was aliased to all unsupported options, activating
282 options that shouldn't be compiled in, leading to interesting
283 effects.
284 - updated libev, working around a bug in linux 2.4, curing the
285 symptom of urxvt not closing its window on shell exit. also
286 fixes a problem with urxvt not refreshing.
287 - the text blink callback was called even when no blinking
288 text was visible.
289 - pre-8.4 slipwheeling behaviour has been reinstated, with
290 some minor improvements.
291 - streamlined x events processing to only flush once per
292 display and not once per terminal window.
293 - quite a bit of minor code cleanups and codesize optimisations.
294
2958.7 Sun Nov 25 10:23:49 CET 2007
296 - update libev with an important bugfix that would cause crashes
297 when closing windows (when using rxvtd, and update is recommended).
298 - do not compile in the block builtin graphics with --disable-frills.
299
3008.6 Fri Nov 23 14:10:57 CET 2007
301 - upgrade libev to disable kqueue on anything but netbsd as it
302 seems to be broken everywhere else w.r.t. ptys.
303 - allow for spurious event notifications, as at least epoll and
304 especially solaris ports like to lie about them (symptoms:
305 urxvt "hangs" until there is some x11 related activity).
306 - -keysym command line options are now subjected to xlib parsing.
307 - add 'xrm' option analogous to Xt one.
308
3098.5a Wed Nov 21 10:16:33 CET 2007
310 - make it compile with --disable-transparency.
311
3128.5 Wed Nov 21 05:19:20 CET 2007
313 - expect major portability issues in this release: please test and report.
314 - converted from the veritable io manager event loop to
315 the high performance libev (http://software.schmorp.de/pkg/libev).
316 - minor tuning to the perl selection (include single words and more quoting chars).
317 - fix memory leak in pixmap code.
318 - fix a serious bug while setting the XIM destroy callback
319 on (typical) 64 bit systems.
320 - automove-background functionality re-implemented internally using :root op in pixmap
321 geometry string. For example: rxvt -pixmap "image.jpg;:root"
322 - do not link rxvtc against every lib on the planet anymore.
323 - parallel builds should work once more.
324
3258.4 Sat Oct 27 14:02:13 CEST 2007
326 - overhaul of the transparency/pixmap code (sasha).
327 - fix possible race between visual bell and poweron.
328 (reported by Martin von Gagern, gentoo?).
329 - urxvt -e no longer crashes the child.
330 - fixed some minor memleaks on incorrect usage or
331 missing DISPLAY.
332 - implement xterm 1002/1003 mouse tracking modes (exg).

339 /usr/X11R6/lib.
340 - initial transparency improvement/afterimage support
341 patch by Sasha Vasko.
342 - add urgentOnBell resource to set the urgency hint
343 (patch by Philip Paeps).

345 (patch by Mikachu).
346 - add iso14755_52 resource to disable iso14755 5.2 (exg).
347 - add binding for backspace in iso14755 5.1 to remove the last
348 digit (exg).
349 - better option handling, support more than 30 options (exg).
350 - nuke reconf script, serves no purpose anymore.
351 - fixed and documented matcher/on_user_command processing in matcher
352 extension (tpope).
353 - compile out of the box on Solaris 10 (exg).
354 - fix MappingNotify events (reported by Stephan Walter).
355 - zero-initialise mwmhints, this seems to solve all sorts of minor
356 problems.
357
3588.2 Sat Feb 17 21:35:28 CET 2007
359 - fix make depend in src/, reported by exg.
360 - fixed typo in urxvt::GET_CUSTOM, causing the result to be wrong.
361 (patch by Sergey Vlasov).
362 - unbundled iom perl interface somewhat.
363 - scrollbar-xterm now uses the selected scrollColor instead of fg
364 (found by Aiviru).
365 - disabled linux kernel bug workaround again: disabling it gives
366 a 50% speed hit on affected machines, while enabling it gives
367 a similar speed hit to screen, which is likely the more common
368 case to work around for :/
369 - urxvt::rend2mask perl function, and utilization of it by matcher
370 (patch by Moshe Kamensky).
371 - use perl:matcher on a keysym to open most recently displayed URL.
372 - with matcher, when multiple patterns match, last wins, not first.
373 - fix make and make install with srcdir != builddir (exg).
374 - updated bundled libptytty to fix a bug where the tty would be kept
375 open (see the libptytty ChangeLog for details).
376 - delay setting the IUTF8 flag to after the tty settings have been
377 set so its value does not get lost (reported and analysed by Andrei
378 Paskevich).
379 - rip out support for obsolete sgtty.h interface.
380 - rip out support for non-POSIX termios variants.
381 - update libptytty.
382 - update iom.C, make it call ptytty::sanitise_stdfd on init.
383 - when !XFT, change rounding of colours to use a less correct formula to
384 meet user expectancies (#aaa becomes #a000a000a000 not #9f9f9f9f9f9f).
385 - change the starting offset of the pixmap set with backgroundPixmap
386 from (50,50) to (0,0) (exg).
387 - fix a typo in button_release, now meta-button2 request the value of
388 the Clipboard selection as it should (patch by Serge Koksharov).
389 - fix a bug in drawing a cell with a nonspacing char when using an xft
390 font with inheritPixmap and tintColor (exg).
391
3928.1 Thu Dec 7 22:27:25 CET 2006
393 - ｹﾘｽﾏｽﾌ゚ﾚｾ゙ﾝﾄ - zomg!!1, it's too early!!!
394 - fix the assumption that chars < 256 are single-width. Now
395 only assume this for codepoints 32 to 126 (reported by Dai.H.).
396 - $term->strwidth returned wide chars as width 1, because some jerk
397 confused min and max. Fixing this also fixes xim-onthespot.
398 Reported by Takano Akio.
399 - secondaryScroll is now enabled by default (as per the manpage),
400 reported by exg.
401 - correct the description of [percent]color rgba format in the manpage.
402 - incorporated macosx-clipboard extension by Samuel Ljungkvist.
403 - ignore (some) useless focus events (reported by mmc).
404 - updated compose table to unicode 5.0.0.
405
4068.0 Thu Nov 2 18:35:19 CET 2006
407 - combining characters cleared the area instead of creating an overlay,
408 thus losing the ability to draw combining characters properly in most
409 circumstances (reported by exg).
410 - specified fonts were incorrectly morphed to bold/italic according to the
411 basefont, even if explicitly specified (tracked down by tpope).
412 - fixed urxvt::strwidth to calculate width in the same way as screen.C.
413 - fix a crash caused by passing negative widths to overlay functions.
414 - added 'matcher' extension by tpope, replacing the mark-urls extension.
415 - improve url regex to match anything www.* (tpope).
416 - fixed bug with outline cursor color being wrong after xft fonts.
417 - update to libptytty-1.0.
418 - give proper diagnostic when RXVT_SOCKET is too long instead of
419 corrupting the stack (patch by exg).
420 - display current terminal locale in option menu.
421 - urxvtd no longer crashes when the client sends an inaccessible
422 working directory (reported by Roland Baer, possibly fixes gentoo
423 bug #143985).
424 - fixed many minor issues reported by Roland Baer.
425 - Leonid Khramov spotted a minor glitch in rxvtfont.C that
426 should not have any consequences, but was buggy nonetheless.
427 - manpage fix by exg.
428
4297.9 Mon Aug 7 18:16:07 CEST 2006
430 - fix the crashing bug people encountered with 7.8 + urxvtd + perl
431 + transparency. Ought to fix debian bug #380348.
432 - fix urxvtc.1.pod: it actually claimed -pty-fd would not work. But
433 it does! :->
434 - rxvt_fatal() in case the locale string is too long for our static buffer.
435 - fixed many, many, typos in the manpages (patch supplied by ves).
436
4377.8 Mon Jul 17 21:00:46 CEST 2006
438 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: this version will always read ~/.Xdefaults,
439 earlier versions only read it if display-resources (usually from
440 .Xresources) are not set. This avoids the #1 FAQ ("why isn't my
441 resource used") and seems to be logical behaviour, too. .Xdefaults
442 resources have a lower priority than display-specific resources.
443 - add "kuake" perl extension that does a similar thing to the kuake
444 terminal emulator (see man urxvtperl).
445 - use less "correct" color scaling that is compatible with libX11 and
446 Xft (avoids off-by-one colors resulting in striped backgrounds).
447 - the "depth" resource is now respected.
448 - preset the searchable-scrollback pattern with "(?i)" to default search
449 to case-insensitivity. Will automatically be cleared when typing an
450 uppercase character.
451 - add FORCE_UNBUFFERED_XFT define to features.h.
452 - re-enabled highlightcolor support with --enable-frills, based on
453 a patch by Martin Stubenschrott.
454 - double-buffered xft drawing did suffer from pixel offset issues
455 when pixmap transparency was enabled.
456 - strategically add # to the url-match regexes, as we really want to
457 match common URIs not common URLs. Reported by Aaron Griffin.
458 - moved on_osc_seq to on_osc_seq_perl and added a more
459 generic osc_seq.
460 - fix a bug causing double callback invocations when perl hooks
461 were invoked recursively.
462 - the automove-background extension now properly works when the
463 pixmap gets reset with an osc sequence (sqweek).
464 - selection-pastebin did not work properly with non-latin1-characters.
465 - apply colorUL only when the text colour is the default fg
466 (patch by Wu Fengguang).
467 - removed rxvtlib.h from the tarball, it had no reason to be there
468 (spotted by Decklin Foster).
469 - fix compiling with TRANSPARENT but !XPM_BACKGROUND, as reported
470 by omatunto_.
471 - slap in a using namespace std, might help on platforms that don't
472 follow C++ closely enough.
473 - fix mailto url regex, spotted within milliseconds by Jost Krieger.
474 - applied fade_color_update_func.patch by WU Fengguang.
475 - fix a bug where (due to an optimisation in av_delete), hiding the
476 bottom-most overlay would hide two overlays.
477
4787.7 Tue Feb 21 12:32:49 CET 2006
479 - use double-buffered drawing (xft fonts only). On many driver/hardware
480 combination this actually increases xft drawing speed, at the expense
481 of more network bandwidth and slight nausea on the side of the author.
482 - readline perl extension now requires shift-click instead of a normal
483 click, and eats the click.
484 - tabbed perl extension now supports -e.
485 - disabled graphics-exposures on the main drawing GC, report any
486 refresh bugs please.
487 - improve property handling for -pe tabbed: avoid unnecessary property
488 changes (for kde's benefit) at the expense of extra round-trips,
489 improve size hint setting.
490 - modified XIM according to a patch sent by Takano Akio that sets
491 the preedit rectangle for OverTheSpot, which helps some input methods
492 to correctly position their preedit window.
493 - un-optimise the line clearing on newly scrolled-in lines a bit: the
494 former reasoning was that any fg colour on default bg looks the same
495 in empty spaces, but that's not true when reversing (e.g. selection),
496 so also check for matching fg colours. This fixes the problem where
497 selecting newly scrolled-in lines would exhibit wrong colours.
498 - fix a bug in the perl interface causing focus in events to generate
499 focus out perl events, causing bad focus effects with -pe tabbed.
500 - fix a race resulting in a crash on exiting.
501 - fix a with --disable-xft that caused xfreecolors to be called on
502 colors never allocated, resulting in aborts (reported by Paco-Paco).
503 - resources on non-initial screens weren't refetched correctly
504 (reported by Paco-Paco).
505 - fix a bug in xcopyarea pass and _disable_ it, as it seems not to be
506 working in either rxvt-unicode nor in the original rxvt.
507 - removed undocumented -exec alias for the -e option.
508
5097.6 Fri Feb 10 08:52:36 CET 2006
510 - changed interpretation of [alpha] colour prefix.
511 - +option now really sets the option to default, instead of using the
512 resource value.
513 - options that require an argument now really _require_ an argument.
514 - the tabbed extension now forwards focus and key events to the
515 relevant tab window.
516 - tab colours are now configurable and have sensible defaults
517 (initial patch by hednod).
518 - option menu is extendable, readline, selection and
519 selection-autotransform can now be disabled/enabled at runtime.
520 - forcing a configure event to tabbed subwindows with -pe tabbed, for
521 the benefit of automove-background.
522 - the automove-background extension added a wrong constant offset.
523 - force refresh of XA_RESOURCE_STRING on virtual reconnect.
524 - return exit status 2 in urxvtc when urxvtd couldn't be contacted.
525 - the linux yield hack is back, now using usleep, and enabled only on
526 __linux__.
527 - further round trip eliminations in the !XFT case by remembering
528 the colour components.
529 - plain scrollbar works better with -sr.
530 - fixed half-shadow scrollbar look.
531 - more colour rtt optimisations.
532 - properly(?) free colours on window close.
533 - reorganised the FAQ into multiple sections.
534 - add ISO646.1991-IRV to the list of supported codesets.
535 - minor libptytty update.
536
5377.5 Tue Jan 31 15:15:43 CET 2006
538 - further improvements to the careful mode detection, and font width
539 detection:
540 - fully double-wide fonts will now be correctly treated,
541 - overlap detection was improved.
542 - detect totally broken fonts (usually synthesized by xft).
543 - careful mode forced refresh sometimes clashed with blinking,
544 causing unnecessary screen redraws.
545 - better handling of XFT combining characters.
546 - enable antialiasing for some replacement fonts, as they
547 might get used for other encodings which really need it, later.
548 - remove spacing=100 from all default fonts, as this creates totally
549 weird spacing (5 times normal) with xft.
550 - removed iso10646 fallback, as xorgs iso10646 encoded fonts are mostly
551 broken.
552 - removed gnu unifont fallback, all combining characters are broken.
553 - replace named colours by xorg's rgb.txt equivalents, to
554 reduce round trip time on startup, and short-cut allocation
555 of rgb:rr/gg/bb for xft.
556 - short-cut allocation of rgb values in the xlib case
557 (patch by Paco-Paco).
558 - overhauled color management: smaller codesize, alpha support.
559 - support "rgba:rrrr/gggg/bbbb/aaaa" color specifications and
560 an "[alpha]" prefix.
561 - try to work around Xft and Xrender forcing everything to be 100%
562 transparent. Long Live Xft!
563 - do not include X11/Intrinsic.h anymore, directly use
564 Xlib/Xutil/Xresource directly.
565 - try to find a nearest matching color when color allocation fails
566 on a pseudocolor screen.
567 - SYNCCVS: compared to rxvt-cvs 2006-01-28, no relevant changes.
568 - fix version report (DA) (which was unfortunately broken).
569 - changed version number report again, now to emulate xterm closer.
570 - added the OSC sequence 702 to detect the urxvt version number.
571 - small configure updates.
572 - further RTT optimisations.
573 - backported clean-up patches for makefiles and documentation from
574 the debian package.
575 - updated doc/rxvt-unicode.spec file. It's still not maintained here,
576 but much newer than the old one.
577
5787.4 Sat Jan 28 15:26:27 CET 2006
579 - screen background wasn't always erased properly when scrolling,
580 - re-enabled clearing optimisation disabled in 7.4pre.
581 - small configure updates for libptytty.
582 - fixed version options: line output.
583 - removed stoopid debugging message left in the code.
584
5857.3 Wed Jan 25 22:47:35 CET 2006
586 - don't let iso14755 or mouse reporting get into the way of perl
587 (could lead to global grabs never being cleared).
588 - experimental OnTheSpot editing support (-pe xim-onthespot).
589 - moved Shift-Button2 paste combination to Meta-Button2.
590 - the cutchars resource will now be respected and used by the
591 selection extension.
592 - added the "remote-clipboard" extension which just runs external
593 commands to fetch and store the selection data.
594 - added -depth switch that tries to get a different visual depth
595 than the default (replaces the old PREFER_24_BIT logic).
596 - removed (unused) arabic presentation form composing sequences.
597 - be more strict when deciding that a core font glyph is too wide and
598 needs the careful rendering mode.
599 - allow more leeway for italic fonts when deciding that a character is
600 too wide and needs careful mode.
601 - redraw even more characters around characters using careful mode.
602 - made selection-pastebin fully asynchronous.
603 - reduced number of server turnarounds at startup by allocating
604 atoms only once per display.
605 - renamed on_keyboard_command to on_user_command.
606 - changed version sos (ESC [ > c) response to be more compatible with
607 xterm.
608
6097.2 Sun Jan 22 21:58:16 CET 2006
610 - bugfix: urxvt (not urxvtd) did not correctly handle multiple
611 environments necessary, which resulted in segfaults within
612 getenv (reproducable: urxvt -fn 9x15, open a menu once,
613 ctrl-shift-672c).
614 - bugfix: the selection speedup in in 7.1 unfortunately caused
615 non-ascii characters to enlarge/move the selection.
616 - bugfix: resizing sometimes leaked lines from the secondary to
617 the primary screen.
618 - bugfix: reducing window size while large amounts of text were output
619 could lead to an assertion failure.
620 - added "tabbed" extension that provides a crude tabbed terminal.
621 - added "readline" extension that allows cursor positioning
622 via mouse clicks.
623 - now it is possible to insert the value of the CLIPBOARD selection
624 with shift - mouse button 2.
625 - fixed the automove-background extension to ignore coordinates
626 in non-synthetic events.
627 - created a separate libpty for portable and secure
628 pty/tty/utmp/wtmp/lastlog handling, and include it in rxvt-unicode.
629 - the non-terminfo visual bell now works asynchronously, so
630 continuous ASCI BELs in one terminal do no longer monopolise the
631 whole urxvt[d] process.
632 - support some *BSD makes (for the time being, gnu make is a safe bet).
633 - work around bugs in FreeBSD's gcc.
634 - implemented some *BSD fixes in configure.
635 - removed support for obsolete offix dnd protocol.
636
6377.1 Thu Jan 19 20:25:34 CET 2006
638 - setuid/setgid operation is now _encouraged_: security has been
639 improved by moving privileged operations into a separate process
640 and permanently dropping privileges within the terminal. This
641 makes it possible to remove security checks from the perl code
642 and gives a much safer feeling when urxvt needs to run with
643 special privileges.
644 - perl taint checking disabled, as urxvt no longer runs setuid/setgid
645 itself.
646 - new perl extension automove-background that can be used to get
647 the same effect as pseudo-transparency with any pixmap.
648 - new perl extension example: perl/selection-pastebin, can be used to
649 e.g. upload the selection to a webserver and generate a url, or
650 similar stuff.
651 - use the scrollback buffer even when the scroll region doesn't
652 span the whole screen, as long as it starts at row 0. Helps
653 for programs displaying a status line at the bottom.
654 - selection popup now shows selection in dec/hex/oct.
655 - perl/selection: matching on unicode characters in the selection
656 code was O(n²), which equals infinity in some degenerate cases
657 :-> Matching is now done on UTF-8, which makes it almost instant.
658 - perl/selection, perl/selection-autotransform: regexes are now
659 being interpreted in the locale urxvt was started.
660 - implemented override-redirect option and enabled it on menus,
661 as kwin puts our windows behind the terminal (what a shoddy wm).
662 - fixed struct utmp check in configure for OpenBSD.
663 - complete overhaul of the pty/utmp management stuff and configure
664 (Emanuele Giaquinta=exg).
665 - add tsl/fsl and related capabilities to the terminfo description,
666 to set the window title.
667 - swap the environment in some more cases. This hopefully fixes
668 some segfaults that might be caused by xft asking for env variables
669 at the wrong time.
670 - removed src/strings.C and src/menubar.C. No menubar support
671 anymore.
672 - removed all traces of SMOOTH_REFRESH.
673 - nuked QNX support.
674 - made some fixes to xpm offset and scaling code.
675 - perl-overlays and refresh hooks were not applied in correct order.
676 - changed coordinate-system of view_start/nsaved to be top to bottom.
677 - iom extended to support listening for child exits.
678
6797.0 Fri Jan 13 14:02:18 CET 2006
680 - added sections for DISTRIBUTION MAINTAINERS and about
681 SETUID/SETGID to the FAQ.
682 - selection, searchable-scrollback, selection-popup and
683 option-popup extensions enabled by default.
684 - increased xft drawing speed for problematic fonts. The effect
685 will likely be small as 99% of the xft slowness is server-related.
686 - perl: much increased functionality, better overlays, popup support
687 and much much more.
688 - perl: urxvt::line now can set via ->t and ->r.
689 - perl: changed interpretation of --perl-ext-common and -pe.
690 - perl: finally implemented --perl-eval.
691 - perl: non-blocking anyevent support.
692 - perl: run tainted and ignore perl-eval/perl-lib if started
693 setuid/setgid.
694 - free the resource database: this plugs a massive memory leak. As a
695 side effect, it also gets rid of XGetDefault calls.
696 - free one of the cursors, fixes a small memory leak.
697 - built-in (as opposed to terminfos) visual bell was broken/too fast.
698 - applied minor cleanups by Ladislav Michnovic.
699 - applied pty handling cleanups and improvements (Emanuele Giaquinta).
700 - mark-urls launch-on-click by jepler.
701 - removed "small" resource parsing function, as it wasn't really
702 compatible, and not really small either.
703 - removed PATH_ENV and PATH file search support.
704 - removed support for locale-specific app-defaults file.
705 - fixed a bug where out-of-bounds colour sequences could lead
706 to crashes.
707 - limit colour changing to the standard 88 palette instead of all
708 colours.
709 - XTerm_Color01 sequence returned wrong results in query mode.
710 - iom.C now checks against destructed io_manager when unregistering.
711
7126.3 Wed Jan 4 22:37:10 CET 2006
713 - SECURITY FIX: on systems using openpty, permissions were
714 not correctly updated on the tty device and were left as
715 world-readable and world-writable (likely in original rxvt,
716 too), and were not restored properly. Affected are only
717 systems where non-unix ptys were used (such as most BSDs, not
718 GNU/Linux). (found, patched and debugged by Ryan Beasley).
719 - meta8 support was forcefully enabled in most configurations.
720 restored configurability of this (useless) feature (reported
721 by Mikachu).
722 - optionally embed a perl interpreter, which can be used for more
723 intelligent/customized selection support, visual feedback,
724 menus, tabs etc. See the the urxvtperl manpage, the -pe option,
725 perl*-resources and keysym resources. Not everything is there yet.
726 - try to be more clever about differing font sizes and their ascent.
727 Not guarenteed to work, but works better in most cases now.
728 - fix directory permissions on install.
729 - implemented option to disable built-in line drawing characters
730 and fall back to the font ones (patch by Martin Pohlack).
731 - disabled sched_yield support: the linux version is just too useless
732 (it schedules nice'd processes before the own one for extended
733 periods). Too bad, it could reduce system time by a factor of 5 here.
734
7356.2 Mon Jan 2 16:03:01 CET 2006
736 - implemented intensityStyles option which enables/disables bold/blink
737 selecting high intensity foreground/background colours, suggested by
738 Chuck Blake.
739 - move iso14755 character feedback box out of the way if it would
740 obscure the mouse cursor position.
741 - replaced callback.h by a fixed version from gvpe that correctly
742 returns the callback result (affects new -pty-fd semantics in urxvtc
743 on a few architectures). Reported by darix.
744 - include one trailing space in rectangular selections to indicate
745 the inserted newline (yeah, weird, but visually more pleasing).
746 - try to use sched_yield to (drastically) improve terminal data
747 transfer efficiency.
748 - further minor cleanups.
749
7506.1 Tue Dec 27 13:23:40 CET 2005
751 - update iso8859-7 table (euro and drachma round-trip et al.).
752 - fix a crash when the selection scrolls out of the scrollback
753 while the user still drags.
754 - selections that were partially scrolled out of the window were
755 not drawn correctly.
756 - lines newly scrolled in were not initialized properly, leading
757 to extremely long lines and (hopefully) some segfaults.
758 - iso14755 overlay position was wrong.
759 - iso14755 overlay now displays rendition info, too.
760 - use unicode white space class instead of hardcoded values for
761 stripping whitespace.
762 - do whitespace stripping on rectangular selections.
763 - slight cleanups in src/features.h.
764
7656.0 Sat Dec 24 13:58:56 CET 2005
766 - make it compile without SMART_RESIZE again.
767 - enable slow link support by default.
768 - fix relative cursor-positioning not respecting scrolling regions
769 (also a bug in original rxvt).
770 - initialize termios structure to zero when fetching it fails
771 (see http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=84647 for a
772 partial patch).
773 - bump max columns/rows to 10000 each.
774 - bump max savelines to 10000000.
775 - -pty-fd now passes the urxvtc fd to the urxvtd process.
776 - avoid linking against -lnsl/-lsocket/-lxpg4 unless neccessary.
777 - major code cleanup (still not complete, though).
778 - implement -hold option.
779 - _major_ rewrite of internal buffer handling:
780 - re-flow on resize, lines get wrapped instead of winged.
781 - circular line buffer (substantially speeds up scrolling).
782 - slightly less code + data memory usage per terminal.
783 - slight overall speed improvements.
784 - considerably improved code clarity.
785 - partial-screen scrolls no longer end up in the scrollback
786 buffer.
787
7885.9 Sat Dec 17 21:53:17 CET 2005
789 - fix a bug in the menu code of unknown impact, found by darix.
790 - clean up signal handling to be global, not per terminal
791 (matters only for rxvtd).
792 - fix small typoe in rxvt.1 (found by Mike Fabian).
793 - don't crash when broken xft/fontconfig/freetype versions return
794 bogus data, ignore the xft font instead (experienced on suse).
795
7965.8 Tue Oct 25 22:21:45 CEST 2005
797 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: many configure options are now on by default.
798 If you want the old behaviour, try:
799 configure --disable-everything <your enable options>
800 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: -fade changed it's meaning to comply with
801 the documentation and common sense: when upgrading, replace your
802 percentage by 100-percentage.
803 - integrated "fade to specific colour" patch by Martin Parm.
804 - slow down the internal visual bell (delay by 20ms) and update
805 the terminfo flash code to use the same delay. This is
806 synchronous, so many bells might inhibit screen updates in other
807 windows.
808 - text with background==foreground colour gets displayed with default
809 bg/fg now when in reverse video, so it can be seen when selecting.
810 - allow koi8r* as x11 encoding name for koi8r (Nikita Danilov).
811 - removed undocumented inheritPixmapforce option.
812 - replaced INSTALL file.
813
8145.7 Wed Jul 13 04:46:33 CEST 2005
815 - implement some useful (hopefully) options for rxvtd.
816 - separate and improved rxvtc(1) and rxvtd(1) manpages.
817 - fix a bug that caused segfaults on startup on systems that do
818 not support local unix connections, e.g cygwin. (btw, I didn't
819 even know about the -rootless and -multiwindow Cygwin/X modes).
820 - large amounts of text without control sequences or newlines
821 could almost freeze output. This has been fixed by adding extra
822 refreshes in these cases (also a problem in original rxvt).
823
