48TODO: match default regex does not match https://猫.移动/tmp/, but it does match if you special_decode the lines first. special_encode of the regex does not and would probably be the better solution -> investigate.
49
50TODO: rclock date overwrite
51 - enable confirm-paste extension by default, can be disabled by e.g.
52 URxvt.perl-ext: -confirm-paste
53 - Key bindings specified with the -keysym option or with resources of
54 the form URxvt*keysym work again. Such resources, as opposed to
55 resources of the form URxvt.keysym, were not officially allowed but
56 accepted, so ignoring them is considered a regression.
57 - new option/resource -rm/rewrapMode, which sets the line rewrap
58 mode to auto, never or always.
59 - new option/resource -dpb/disablePasteBrackets, which can be used to
60 disable bracketed paste mode sequences, as more and more programs
61 abuse these sequences (typically in the name of security, but these
62 sequences are not improving security). Also, bracketed paste mode
63 is now under frills.
64 - if urxvt cannot detect a good estimate for font width (because a font does
65 not contain latin characters at all for example), it will now fall
66 back to xft's max_advance_width, which works well with some fonts. It
67 currently will warn about this.
68 - do not render variation selectors in the default font as boxes, treat
69 them as zero-width characters.
70 - change combining character architecture to allow fonts to handle
71 combining sequences on their own. This could allow future renderers
72 to be more intelligent about these sequences.
73 - use the previous enhancement to allow unicode characters outside of the
74 BMP to be rendered even without --enable-unicode3, as long as an
75 xft with the character is configured.
76 It's recommended to stay with disabled unicode3 even more now.
77 - freetype/xft have been verified to return nonsensical offsets for
78 combining characters. urxvt tries to compensate to some extent,
79 but diacritics will be slightly off in many cases, and far off in
80 some cases (e.g. input mono).
81 - when checking for overlap/careful handling, take non-basefont
82 character shifts into account.
83 - extensions can now request autoloading on OSC and Perl OSC sequences,
84 implement this for the background, clipboard-osc and overlay-osc
85 extensions.
86 - the background extension will now be autoloaded when the OSC 20 or 705
87 sequence is received.
88 - The view_start perl method now scrolls to the bottom also when the
89 argument is greater than 0.
90 - eval scroll actions now scroll to the bottom when scrolling down and
91 there are less lines to scroll than the ones requested (reported by
92 Stephen Talley).
93 - allow perl-ext and perl-ext-common to override autoloaded extensions.
94 this allows tabbed to disable itself in subtabs, avoiding recursive
95 loading.
96 - update precompose table to unicode 13.0.
97 - update charset conversion tables to perl 5.32 (this only affected
98 cs_koi8_u_from_unicode).
99 - unicode characters > 0x100000 were not handled correctly w.r.t.
100 font rendering.
101 - replace bitstream vera by dejavu sans, as it has replaced the former
102 almost everywhere.
103 - urxvt will now try tic -x first and only fall back to tic without -x
104 when tic -x fails.
105 - shave off over 1K of code size from urclock by replacing the sine table
106 with a slightly less accurate fixed point approximation.
107 - do not specify indentation with =over in pod, this is no longer
108 needed with semi-modern pod tools and gives the formatter more
109 stylistic freedom.
110 - background extension did not set the "size-sensitive" flag
111 when repeat mode wasn't normal.
112 - extensions are now subjected to "use strict 'subs'".
113 - avoid crashing when xft successfully opens a font but then somehow
114 can't lock the face.
115
1169.26 Fri May 14 19:14:14 CEST 2021
117 - ev_iouring.c was wrongly required during compilation, and wrongly
118 not packaged.
119
1209.25 Fri May 14 15:51:36 CEST 2021
121 - for the 17.5th anniversary, and because many distributions seem to
122 remove rxvt in favour of urxvt, this release resurrects rclock as
123 urclock.
124 - add support for systemd socket-based activation - debian bug #917105,
125 freebsd bug #234276.
126 - do not destruct perl on exit anymore: this might fail for a variety of
127 reasons, and takes unnecessary time.
128 - remove any macros from urxvtperl manpage(s), should fix debian
129 bug 858385.
130 - the old bg image resources are now provided by the background
131 extension, and perl is thus required for bg image support. No
132 configuration change is needed: urxvt autoloads the background
133 ext if any bg image resource/option is present (for OSC sequences to
134 work you need to enable it explicitly). The old bg image
135 resources are also now deprecated; users are encouraged to
136 switch to the new bg image interface (see man urxvt-background).
137 - confirm-paste now checks for any ctlchars, not just newlines.
138 - searchable scrollback will now ignore bracketed paste mode sequences
139 (prompted by Daniel Gröber's patch).
140 - drop ISO 2022 locale support. ISO 2022 encodings are not supported in
141 POSIX locales and clash with vt100 charset emulation (the luit
142 program can be used as a substitute).
143 - perl didn't parse rgba colours specified as an array correctly,
144 only allowing 0 and 100% intensity for each component (this affected
145 fill and tint).
146 - when iterating over resources, urxvt will now try to properly handle
147 multipart resources (such as "*background.expr"), for the benefit
148 of autoloading perl extensions.
149 - ESC G (query rxvt graphics mode) has been disabled due to security
150 implications. The rxvt graphics mode was removed in rxvt-unicode 1.5,
151 and no programs relying on being able to query the mode are known.
152 - work around API change breakage in perl 5.28, based on a patch by
153 Roman Bogorodskiy.
154 - improved security: rob nation's (obsolete) graphics mode queries
155 no longer reply with linefeed in secure/default mode.
156 - ISO 8613-3 direct colour SGR sequences (patch by Fengguang Wu).
157 - xterm focus reporting mode (patch by Daniel Hahler).
158 - xterm SGR mouse mode.
159 - implement DECRQM. Patch by Přemysl Eric Janouch.
160 - add missing color index parameter to OSC 4 response. Patch
161 by Přemysl Eric Janouch.
162 - in some window managers, if smart resize was enabled, urxvt
163 erroneously moved the window on font change - awesome bug
164 #532, arch linux bug ##34807 (patch by Uli Schlachter).
165 - fix urxvtd crash when using a background expression.
166 - properly restore colors when using fading and reverse video
167 is enabled while urxvt is focused and then disabled while it
168 is not focused, or vice versa (patch by Daniel Hahler).
169 - fix high memory usage when an extension repeatedly hides and
170 shows an overlay (reported by Marcel Lautenbach).
171 - expose priv_modes member and constants to perl extensions
172 (patch by Rastislav Barlik).
173 - fix a whole slew of const sillyness, unfortunately forced upon
174 us by ISO C++.
175 - update to libecb 0x00010006.
176 - disable all thread support in ecb.h as we presumably don't need it.
177 - slightly improve Makefile source dependencies.
178 - work around bugs in newer Pod::Xhtml versions (flags incorrect formatting codes
179 in xhtml/html sections but does not interpret correct ones).
180
1819.22 Sat Jan 23 21:07:33 CET 2016
182 - NOTICE: this release updates terminfo.
183 - add terminfo capabilities for various ctrl and shift-ctrl key variants
184 (patch by Sebastian Schmidt).
185 - fix longstanding core font encoding bug where some character
186 ranges could not be mapped from unicode to the font: affected
187 encodings are big5, gb2312, iso8859-8 (hebrew), jis0201 and
188 ksc5601 (reported by Mikachu).
189 - fix crash when the number of columns is 1 and a 0 width character is inserted
190 (reported by Kuang-che Wu).
191 - fix a crash when parsing an invalid color specification (reported by Kuang-che Wu).
192 - fix a buffer overflow in font name parser (reported by Kuang-che Wu).
193 - do not start blinking cursor if the window is unfocused (reported by
194 Devin J. Pohly).
195 - change the width of underline and i-beam cursor to 2 pixels (based on
196 a patch by Omar Sandoval).
197 - add pointerShape resource to change the mouse pointer shape
198 (based on a patch by Brian Watson).
199 - a keysym resource for a key which is already bound to an
200 action now properly rebinds the key.
201 - do not report mouse motion events if Shift is active (patch by Daniel Hahler).
202 - put the alpha component last in responses to OSC color queries
203 (patch by Benjamin Herr).
204 - the key_press hook is now invoked before processing the
205 event, as documented. This change was done in 9.21 but not
206 announced and fixes debian bugs #511377, #531751 and red hat
207 bug #1105069. Note that this change breaks a few scripts,
208 such as mark-yank-urls, which rely on the previous buggy
209 behaviour that urxvt processes the event (in particular
210 keysym bindings) before invoking the hook.
211 - the tabbed extension now properly refreshes the active tab
212 on a key press when the mouse pointer is outside the terminal
213 window.
214 - add 'lookup_keysym' perl method to lookup the action bound
215 to a key combination.
216 - a key combination bound to 'matcher:select' can now be used
217 to cycle through the matches in matcher.
218 - change perl integer accessors (->width et al.) into mutators.
219
2209.21 Wed Dec 31 14:50:03 CET 2014
221 - the "moa redraw 8-bit british vintage colour management" release.
222 - NOTICE: this release updates terminfo.
223 - fix pixel droppings on overdraw when a secondary core font has the
224 same height but different ascent.
225 - implement cvvis in terminfo as blinking cursor, to distinguish it
226 from cnorm (emacs uses cvvis which is commonly a blinking cursor).
227 - when xft support was compiled in, colour queries erroneously returned
228 premultiplied values, this also affected internal queries, for example
229 when calculating faded colour. alpha is now divided out when possible,
230 which is more correct but loses colour resolution.
231 - add DECSCUSR xterm extension to set the cursor to a vertical bar.
232 - add 'extension:string' action, and associated on_action perl
233 hook, for keysym resources that invokes actions provided by
234 perl extensions. The 'perl:string' action and
235 on_user_command hook are deprecated but still supported.
236 - add 'builtin-string' action for keysym resources that restores string
237 mappings for keys that have predefined actions in urxvt.
238 - add -k option to urxvtc for killing the daemon process.
239 - document urxvtd's -e/--eval option that was implemented in 9.16,
240 but not documented.
241 - add -dockapp option to make the wm treat urxvt as a dockapp.
242 - add -mc option and multiClickTime resource to set the maximum time
243 between multi-click select events (patch by Joe Peterson).
244 - new 'eval' extension to evaluate arbitrary perl code with keysym
245 bindings. The extension also provides methods that implement basic
246 actions, such as pasting selections and scrolling.
247 - the macosx-clipboard and macosx-clipboard-native extensions have been removed.
248 - kuake extension now uses the kuake.hotkey resource to specify the hotkey.
249 - new 'matcher:select' mode of matcher to iterate over the matches with the keyboard.
250 - the 'matcher:list' feature of matcher now honours the launcher
251 associated to a matched pattern.
252 - speed-up matcher underlining on very long lines (reported by Edward Z. Yang).
253 - fix up/down commands of searchable-scrollback so that they always move
254 to the previous/next logical line with a match, if any.
255 - searchable-scrollback resource has been deprecated (use keysym instead).
256 - extension parameter passing is deprecated (use resource mechanism instead).
257 - upgrade to GPLv3 (see COPYING).
258 - compile out of the box on Solaris 10, again.
259 - fix height and position of the stippled area in next scrollbar (patch
260 by Thomas Otto).
261 - fix off-by-one bug causing the iso14755 window not to jump out of the
262 way properly.
263 - fix crash that may happen if a lib to which urxvt is linked to calls setenv.
264 - fix memory leak in special_{encode,decode} perl methods.
265 - fix refresh bug that occurs when reverse video is set on a cell
266 containing a space and with the same bg and fg colour, red hat bug
267 #830236.
268 - fix crash that may happen if an x error is received after a terminal
269 window/popup has been destroyed already.
270 - removed superfluous 0 digit from sgr terminfo sequence.
271 - greatly improve colour allocation on colour-starved pseudocolour
272 displays to avoid read-write cells instead of simply failing
273 (this is only relevant for antique 8bpp frame buffers).
274 - do not free fade colours when not doing fading (this is likely
275 only relevant for antique 8bpp frame buffers).
276 - do not specialcase 2 or 4 colour visuals, leading to
277 simpler and actually more correct code.
278 - hopefully no longer leak colours on !truecolour visuals.
279 - use consistent method names (scr_recolour => scr_recolor).
280 - use simpler (but slightly less bogus) formula for nearest
281 colour choice (this is likely only relevant for antique 8bpp
282 frame buffers).
283 - remove fallback behaviour when initialising colours - the
284 behaviour was inconsistent between startup vs. later and
285 was only effective when valid colours couldn't be allocated.
286
2879.20 Sat Apr 26 16:22:27 CEST 2014
288 - (libptytty) fix bug that prevented urxvtd from writing utmp
289 entries when using --fork (reported by Ryan Kavanagh).
290 - security bugfix: window property values could be queried even
291 in secure mode (reported by Conor McCarthy).
292 - fix build when perl is enabled and fading is disabled.
293 - fix regression that broke continuous scrolling when pressing
294 and holding the scrollbar up or down button, gentoo bug #493992.
295 - increase the maximum length of a command sequence to 32k bytes,
296 to allow longer OSC sequences (previous limit was 2k).
297 - new Ctrl-Meta-c and Ctrl-Meta-v bindings to interact with
298 the CLIPBOARD selection.
299 - new extension: selection-to-clipboard.
300 - the extensions macosx-clipboard and macosx-clipboard-native
301 are deprecated and will be removed in the next release.
302 Support for the clipboard on OS X can be more generally
303 enabled by setting the XQuartz preference to sync the OS X
304 pasteboard and the X11 clipboard.
305
3069.19 Sun Oct 27 17:16:07 CET 2013
307 - work around perl 5.18.0 breakage in tabbed extension
308 (reported by Karol Blazewicz) and in pod (Dominic Hargreaves).
309 - fix regression that caused the double-click word selection to
310 erroneously include a tab on the left of the selected word.
311 - implement FOCUS variable and focus_fade function in background
312 expression, to allow focus-sensitive background images.
313 - add support for the set cursor style (DECSCUSR) control
314 function.
315 - honour cursorColor also when the cursor style is underline.
316 - export some Color_xxx constants to Perl.
317
3189.18 Sun Mar 24 15:33:35 CET 2013
319 - fix regression that caused artifacts on resize.
320
3219.17 Fri Mar 1 13:46:08 CET 2013
322 - add shade operator in background perl extension.
323 - avoid starting or ending the selection in the middle of wide
324 characters to avoid artifacts (reported by Tiago Resende).
325 - fix artifacts that may occur if the character in the cursor
326 cell has width > 1 (reported by Tiago Resende).
327 - fix regression that causes artifacts on scrolling if
328 saveLines is 0 and the window is resized (reported by Bert
329 Münnich).
330 - fix build when perl is enabled and pixbuf and transparency
331 are disabled.
332
3339.16 Thu Dec 27 11:56:43 CET 2012
334 - the "so much new stuff your eyes will pop out" release.
335 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: renamed urlLauncher resource to url-launcher.
336 - fix processing of DEC private mode save sequences (patch by Patrick
337 Hemmer).
338 - perl extensions now have their own manpages, installed as urxvt-NAME(1),
339 e.g. urxvt-background(1) - see urxvt-extensions(1) for a list.
340 - fix disabling of cursor blink with the option-popup menu (based on a
341 patch by Jan Larres).
342 - the font height is not augmented anymore when lineSpace is non zero.
343 - fix "new pagemap" vs. "delete pagemap" mismatch ([] vs. non-[]),
344 as diagnosed by clang.
345 - fix height mismatch between active and inactive cursor when
346 lineSpace is non zero (patch by Stanislav Seletskiy).
347 - make it compile with LOCAL_X_IS_UNIX again (reported by
348 nickfailure@gmail.com).
349 - completely redone background pixmap support - users can now
350 specify arbitrary expressions (And programs) that calculate
351 new terminal backgrounds. see the urxvt-background manpage
352 for details.
353 - xrender is now required for background pixmap support.
354 - perl extensions can now provide commandline switches and resources
355 which show up in -help etc.
356 - iso14755 51 mode window now displays row and column.
357 - implement a -visual switch and move that and -depth to frills, also
358 warn when we can't get the requested visual.
359 - new env variable: RXVT_PERL_LIB.
360 - allocate all screen memory in one go and let the virtual memory
361 subsystem sort it out. this simplifies code, improves access
362 locality, saves a bit of ram and makes things a bit faster, too.
363 - remove support for libafterimage.
364 - update to CVS version of libev, for a whopping 11kb size decrease.
365 - do not ship yet another copy of ecb.h, use the one in libev or
366 libptytty instead.
367 - selectively mark some methods as cache-hot/cache cold, which
368 might speed up execution but definitely decreases codesize.
369 - Fix regression that prevented the scrollbar trough color
370 from being applied (reported by Derek B. Noonburg).
371 - Fix the scrollbar size for rxvt style (patch by Mark Robinson).
372
3739.15 Sat Jan 21 13:36:56 CET 2012
374 - remove "using namespace std" because clang erroneously
375 thinks thats an error.
376 - finding a matching font (e.g. bold version of the base font)
377 was broken (reported by Eamon Walker).
378 - fix parsing of bg image styles. They really work now.
379 - fix blurring of bg image borders when using xrender.
380 - fix xrender blur on common xrender implementations that do
381 not behave correctly when the same pixmap is used as source
382 and destination in composite operations.
383 - fix regression that caused tabbed to compute the wrong size
384 for tabs.
385 - allow again an empty suffix in a keysym list spec (patch by
386 Sung Pae).
387 - unsupported support for sun studio's CC added.
388 - fix -C option on solaris.
389
3909.14 Wed Dec 21 18:40:33 CET 2011
391 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: the urxvtd default socket path is now
392 $HOME/.urxvt/urxvtd-<nodename>.
393 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: the "list" keysym expansion now requires
394 loading of the "keysym-list" perl extension.
395 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: A scale value of 0 in the bg image
396 geometry no longer enables tiling, so as to make it possible
397 to disable both scaling and tiling.
398 - overhaul of the bg image operations. The old operations have
399 been deprecated in favour of elementary operations and
400 styles built on top of the new operations and scale/position
401 settings. (Emanuele Giaquinta).
402 - support for libafterimage is deprecated and will be removed
403 in the next release.
404 - fix a crash caused by selection_check not properly resetting
405 out-of-bounds mark values (can happen when extending a selection
406 while scrolling up in curses programs for example).
407 - do not move the selection when scrolling up and the selection is
408 outside the scrolling region (Emanuele Giaquinta).
409 - fix display of bold bright black (reported by Ben Winslow).
410 - fix memory leak when urgentOnBell is set (patch by Nathaniel
411 Filardo).
412 - fix a redraw bug that occurs when a bg pixmap is set and the
413 wm does not honour the size hints set by urxvt. Now urxvt
414 forces the size of the terminal window to be a multiple of
415 the cell size.
416 - sanitise the argument of SD / SU sequences. Fixes a possible
417 crash when the argument is big enough, red hat bug #711137
418 (Emanuele Giaquinta).
419 - correctly split long lines when scrolling.
420 - urxvt now looks for perl extensions also in $HOME/.urxvt/ext.
421 - add bell-command perl extension to execute a command when a
422 bell event occurs (Ryan Kavanagh).
423 - add set_urgency perl binding to set/reset the urgency hint.
424 - consume button release event in matcher (exg).
425 - keyboard accessible list of recent matches in matcher
426 (Bob Farrell).
427 - properly process 'keysym' sequences in tabbed when using
428 'focus follows mouse' and the focus is on the main window
429 but not on the active terminal window (patch by Martin
430 Pohlack).
431 - support for the freedesktop startup-notification protocol (patch by
432 Michael Stapelberg).
433 - the direction of VPR and VPB commands was reversed.
434 - fix alignment of inherited root pixmap when it is a different size
435 than the root window and the terminal window is off the left or top
436 edge (Mikachu).
437 - make $self visible in "eval perl expression" popup action, also
438 handle exceptions better.
439 - fix parsing of '-e' when it occurs as an option argument, such as in
440 'urxvt -title -e' (Emanuele Giaquinta).
441
4429.12 Wed Jun 29 14:34:28 CEST 2011
443 - fix regression in processing of SelectionNotify events.
444 urxvt would fail to request a selection if the owner did not
445 support the UTF8_STRING target.
446 - fix rendering of double width chars in certain circumstances, more
447 likely to happen if urxvt is compiled with 256 colors support as
448 urxvt runs out of fonts much earlier then. Fixes gentoo bug #358151
449 (Emanuele Giaquinta).
450 - restore support for 'list' syntax in keysym resources (requested by Sung Pae).
451 - always premultiply colour values - while this increases differences between
452 core fonts and xft, it is "more correct" in practical situations.
453 - disable PTYTTY_REENTRANT option - not needed for urxvt and saves a bit of code.
454 - remove lucidatypewriter from the list of fallback fonts, it was the only
455 non-xft non-cellfont in the list anyway.
456
4579.11 Mon May 2 10:34:46 CEST 2011
458 - fix compilation on GNU/Hurd, debian bug #624736.
459 - remove 'list' syntax for keysym resources, as it serves no useful purpose.
460 If you need it, poke us and provide a use case.
461 - fix alpha channel support. Premultiply alpha in colours if the visual
462 supports an alpha channel, as xrender expects premultiplied alpha
463 (Emanuele Giaquinta).
464 - fix reply to a selection request sent by an obsolete client
465 such as syncterm (patch by Marcin Cieslak).
466 - fix crash when the window is resized and the overlay is active
467 (Emanuele Giaquinta, reported by Ryan Kavanagh).
468 - match character-wise rather than byte-wise in selection
469 extension again. perl 5.8.9+ is required to avoid extreme
470 slowdowns. Fixes debian bugs #523072, #616463.
471 - fix a possible crash if the INCR transfer process for a
472 selection property timeouts and at least one chunk is
473 received. (Emanuele Giaquinta)
474 - work around a memory corruption bug in xorg's XrmSetDatabase (apparently
475 broken since http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/xorg-commit-diffs/2004-March/000239.html).
476 - fix memory corruption bug when custom command sequences bound to keys
477 were injected into an already-full pty input buffer.
478 - gdk-pixbuf is autodetected by default and preferred over libafterimage.
479 - do not prepend a newline to the selection text when the starting line
480 of the selection is not highlighted (Emanuele Giaquinta).
481 - don't swap perl env with real env, save and restore it, just in case
482 we ever get recursive perl invocations. also saves a bit of codespace
483 with gcc.
484 - fix various memory leaks (Emanuele Giaquinta).
485 - fix typo in kIC terminfo capability, debian bug #446444.
486 - document 'thickness' resource.
487 - fix debian bug #504817, to the extent possible.
488 - try to detect byte order at compile time, saves a couple of
489 hundred bytes, if your compiler is smart enough.
490 - add support for previewing the pasted data in confirm-paste
491 (Emanuele Giaquinta).
492 - added "newlines to spaces" option in selection-popup.
493 - actually enabled solaris event ports backend (was disabled by accident).
494 - revert to 38400 baud max., mission accomplished.
495 - no longer create scary "pty_fill: PLEASE REPORT" message, instead,
496 silently drain the input (problem is well understood now).
497 - no longer swallow rob nation's own graphics mode commands.
498
4999.10 Mon Dec 13 17:43:52 CET 2010
500 - the "schmorp=north korea dickey=south korea" release.
501 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: make OSC 20 simpler and more correct
502 (Emanuele Giaquinta).
503 - if options were compiled out, this could lead to the option
504 count to be defined wrongly. This is likely behind the
505 failures with gcc 4.5.
506 - explicitly depend on fontconfig and xrender when xft support
507 is enabled. Although the public Xft api uses types from
508 both, in Xft 2.2.0 these libs are private
509 dependencies only thanks to an idiotic behaviour of
510 pkg-config that was added to workaround cases like this one.
511 Fixes linking when using GNU ld with --as-needed or GNU gold
512 (based on patch by Jan Palus).
513 - fix minor memory leaks in urxvt and urxvtd.
514 - fix regression in urxvtd that prevented options from being correctly
515 set (reported by Michal Vaner).
516 - implement xterm's horribly broken 1005 mouse reporting mode,
517 and an alternative 1015 mode that works in non-utf-8 locales
518 and has fewer limitations.
519 - fix a possible bug where mouse notifications didn't work after
520 startup for the upper left corner.
521 - implement our own pixbuf to pixmap rendering to get rid of
522 dependency on buggy gdk-pixbuf-xlib. Only truecolor visuals
523 are supported (Emanuele Giaquinta).
524 - apply tinting before shading when both operations are requested.
525 Previously they were intermixed when lightening and the result
526 was inaccurate and confusing. Note that now a black tint yields a
527 completely black image, regardless of shading (Emanuele Giaquinta).
528 - avoid spurious redraws of the bg image when bg is transparent or
529 when using 'root' mode (Emanuele Giaquinta).
530 - fix build on XFree86.
531 - dynamically number options according to compiletime requirements.
532 For the extra saved byte. Or so. Yay.
533 - start options at one, not zero. Wastes a bit per terminal. Maybe.
534 saves 50 instruction bytes. Possibly.
535
5369.09 Sat Nov 13 01:39:07 CET 2010
537 - NOTICE: this release updates terminfo/termcap.
538 - the bestest release ever.

540 - add support for blending and blurring with XRender (Emanuele Giaquinta).
541 - add support for using gdk-pixbuf as image backend (Emanuele Giaquinta).
542 - cleanup and minor fixes of the image code (Emanuele Giaquinta).
543 - new perl extension "confirm-paste" (Emanuele Giaquinta).
544 - new on_tt_paste perl hook and tt_paste perl binding (Emanuele Giaquinta).
545 - new on_bell perl hook (Emanuele Giaquinta).
546 - searchable-scrollback no longer ignores the first line
547 (Emanuele Giaquinta).
548 - properly set VSTATUS in termios for *BSD (reported by Ed Schouten).
549 - fix utmpx detection on upcoming FreeBSD 9.
550 - Use COMPOUND_TEXT encoding for WM_NAME/WM_ICON_NAME value when it
551 is not fully convertible to STRING (patch by James Cloos).
552 - fix a buffer overflow that would cause wrong key sequences to
553 be generated for numpad keys (introduced in 9.05).
554 - fix definition of sgr0 to work around limitations in luit.
555 - extend ISO 14755 5.4 mode to also print the font name of the
556 characters other than first one in the selected cell
557 (Emanuele Giaquinta).
558 - new iso14755 option to disable ISO 14755 at runtime
559 (Emanuele Giaquinta).
560 - make sure pagewise scrolling scrolls at least one line
561 (found by Mikachu).
562 - remove deprecated OSC 18 / 19 and make OSC 17 / 19 apply to
563 highlightColor / highlightTextColor (Emanuele Giaquinta).
564 - add highlightTextColor resource to change the foreground colour of
565 highlighted characters (Emanuele Giaquinta).
566 - make highlightColor apply also to selected cells with reverse video
567 but not to non selected cells with reverse video (Emanuele Giaquinta).
568 - remove colorRV resource (it was enabled only with frills off).
569 - fix numlock handling, the most longstanding bug to date (Emanuele Giaquinta).
570 - reduce the number of custom bits to 4, to make room
571 for 256 colours.
572 - add support for 256 colors (Emanuele Giaquinta, Marc Lehmann).
573 - add rxvt-unicode-256color terminfo and use it by default in 256 colors mode.
574 - update rxvt-unicode terminfo to state 7744 colour pairs to cover all
575 88*88 possible pairs.
576 - actually added macosx-clipboard-native, which should have been in
577 the 9.07 release but had been forgotten.
578 - fix hang if DECAWM is not set and there are not enough columns to insert a
579 character (Emanuele Giaquinta).
580 - cub1 ("backspace") will now respect wrapping when past the rightmost column,
581 working around a shortcoming of most tty line discipline's line editing.
582 - add support for grabbing the clipboard selection and extend
583 selection{_clear,_grab,} perl bindings to optionally work
584 on the clipboard selection (based on patch by Dana Jansens).
585 - no longer force CERASE to BACKSPACE - use the system default. affects
586 default value for VERASE only when no compatible setting for
587 backspacekey was given.
588 - use higher than 38400 baudrate setting, if detected.
589 - erase screen would clear to the wrong background when blinking
590 was enabled (which selects high intensity under some circumstances).
591 - scr_kill_char didn't touch the line.
592 - upgrade and port to libev-4.01.
593 - enabled solaris event ports and kqueue backends (if available).
594
5959.07 Wed Dec 30 07:07:18 CET 2009
596 - port to glibc-2.10 changes (strchr etc. returning const char *
597 in C++), based on patches by Milos Jakubicek and Oliver Mader.
598 - the binary search algorithm to find precomposed characters
599 was faulty, skipping some possible combinations (found by
600 Mikachu).
601 - new -letterspace option, patch by Mark H. Wilkinson.
602 - enable --mlock option for urxvt with frills on
603 systems supporting it (patch by Russell Harmon).
604 - urxvt did not compile without frills enabled
605 (analysed by Matthew Rosewarne).
606 - correctly reset the mbstate after an illegal
607 input sequence when handling terminal output (Emanuele Giaquinta).
608 - avoid redrawing wide characters with combining enabled on every
609 refresh (reported by Mikachu).
610 - fix a typo preventing the ISO-646.1991 character set from being
611 recognized (http://achurch.org/patch-pile/).
612 - better warning for x11 font encoding detection failures, also,
613 try to deduce encoding from both font properties and name
614 (adapted from http://achurch.org/patch-pile/).
615 - resizing the window with the scrollbar disabled via the escapes
616 sequence could make the window bigger again (Mikachu).
617 - make sure the alignment for fd passing control messages
618 is correct and work around some NetBSD issues (Taylor R Campbell).
619 - update to libptytty 1.3.
620 - replace macosx-clipboard by a nicer version by Reza Jelveh, and move
621 the old version to macosx-clipboard-native.
622 - document the -uc option (Emanuele Giaquinta).
623 - assertions in libev are now enabled depending on frills.
624 - update AnyEvent implementation to version 5.23 API.
625 - work around arrogant bsd idiocies again: netbsd spills the default
626 namespace with lots of symbols "for gnu/gcc compatibility" even
627 though neither of them does it, and then calls the rest of the world
628 in need of fixing. go figure.
629 - on_keyboard_command is on_user_command (patch by Michael Witten).
630 - setting the selection from perl will now reset the selection screen
631 to the current screen. the screen can be manipulated using
632 the new ->selection_screen method.
633 - implement --enable-assert configure option and get rid of DEBUG_STRICT
634 (based on patch by Emanuele Giaquinta).
635 - fix printpipe data output (patch by Emanuele Giaquinta).
636 - allow `xxx' quoting style for perl selection.
637 - upgrade to libev-3.9 prerelease.

641 - NOTICE: this release updates terminfo/termcap.
642 - updates libev to 3.48.
643 - the aterm code now frees the as visual and image manager objects
644 when a window was closed.
645 - do not (wrongly) adjust the virtual line length inside
646 scr_insdel_chars/ERASE (Miroslav Lichvar).
647 - fix an issue where wide tab characters caused character shifts
648 when part of them was deleted (tracked down by Miroslav Lichvar).
649 - artificially enlargen the previous character at the end of a line
650 when trying to output a character that doesn't fit. looks ugly, but
651 makes copy&paste work.
652 - remove bogus "setuid/setgid security issues" from rxvt.1.pod, they
653 no longer apply.
654 - the urgency hint is now cleared on both focus in and focus out.
655 - cache urgency hint locally to avoid server rtt on every focus change.
656 - perl 5.10 needs PERL_SYS_INIT3 on hppa.
657 - ignore byte-order marks and do not treat them like combining characters.
658 - fix build issue when CURSOR_BLINK is not defined (Emanuele Giaquinta).
659 - do some µ-optimisations to the character fast path.
660 - use a less cunning, but more robust algorithm to avoid one terminal
661 monopolising the whole process by outputting a lot of text.
662 - try to work around linux first breaking sched_yield and now breaking
663 the only known workaround.
664 - new option -icon to set _NET_WM_ICON (based on patch by Frank Schmitt).
665 - initialise the as visual only on demand, instead of unconditionally,
666 to save memory in the common case of not using visual gimmicks.
667 - try to work around bugs in a few wm's that erroneously resize
668 client windows on hint property updates by temporarily
669 disabling size hints.
670 - implement the DECSTR soft reset sequence and use it for tput init,
671 and make hard RIS and DECSTR both reset more private modes, such
672 as mouse reporting.
673 - redundantly clear mouse reporting and a few other states in
674 tput init/tput reset, for older urxvts.
675 - partial/full clear screens did cause flickering and possibly pixel
676 droppings when urxvt viewed the scrollback buffer.
677 - use current rendition style in DCH sequence.
678 - the 132/80 mode switch no longer forces a screen reset.
679 - add an osc sequence to change the border colour (Emanuele Giaquinta).
680 - new perl extension "overlay-osc", for status displays and the like.
681 - fix some minor cursor drawing issues with overlays by allowing
682 overlays to modify screen flags (to disable the cursor themselves).
683 - work around programs not restoring rstyle before rmcup
684 (analysed by Miroslav Lichvar).
685
6869.05 Sun Jun 15 20:09:20 CEST 2008
687 - new option --cd/chdir to set the starting working directory.
688 - tabbed extension now starts in the "correct" working directory.
689 - work around fedora 9 providing isastream but not the relevant
690 header file for it (report by Tuncer Ayaz).
691 - upgrade libev, fixing a bug in the select backend.
692 with more than 31 file descriptors on non-linux 64 bit systems.
693 - correctly reset the multibyte state to the initial one
694 after EILSEQ (patch by Neil Booth). This fixes the
695 issue of rxvt-unicode not properly displaying text after an illegal
696 sequence on NetBSD and probably other systems.
697 - more intelligent property handling with -pe tabbed, works around
698 broken window managers (kwm et al.), saves bandwidth and should
699 help working window managers as well.
700 - made tabs moveable (based on a patch by Petr Machata).
701 - implement ESC [ 3 K as a more rational alternative to ESC [ 0 K.
702 - support relative paths for RXVT_SOCKET in urxvtd.
703 - the tabbed extension now blindly copies over all (rxvt-) resources
704 from the toplevel window to the children.
705 - better diagnostic on 0x0 window geometries.
706 - update AnyEvent API to version 3.4 and above.
707 - document the default value of :0 for DISPLAY.

711 - the "exg makes everybody happy" release.
712 - fix build with !xft.
713 - always compile in plain style scrollbar (simplifies code and looks great).
714
7159.01 Sat Jan 26 20:49:27 CET 2008
716 - be more aggressive about handling X events, this seems to be required
717 with newer xlibs (should fix the "screen stays black until event is
718 received" problem, again :)
719 - add buffered resource to control xft double-buffering.
720
7219.0 Fri Jan 25 19:34:04 CET 2008
722 - fix a crash bug where urxvtd would crash when urxvtc was called
723 with wrong arguments (I wish debian maintainers in general would
724 report bugs and their proposed fixes to the original package maintainers
725 instead of sitting on them for good measure to see if anybody notices).
726 - drawing xft compose characters was causing garbage to be drawn.
727 - correctly clear xft character background in all cases.
728 - implement bracketed paste mode (xterm private mode 2004).
729 - improve documentation on alpha channel handling, make urxvt
730 work better on servers lacking the RENDER extension when alpha
731 channels or background images are used.
732 - check for refresh after initialising to avoid staying blank
733 till the first event arrives. or so.
734 - the FORCE_UNBUFFERED_XFT feature macro works again.
735 - continuously update transparency while moving/resizing now.
736 - OSC 39/49 are deprecated and aliased to OSC 10/11.
737 - cub1 now acts as advertised (and ignores the "wrapped" state).
738 - the 132/80 mode switch now forces a height of 24, too, and
739 resets the terminal.
740 - scrollbar code cleanups.
741 - stopping children is no longer confused with children exiting.
742 - removed (undocumented) #aarrggbb format.
743 - updated to libev 3.0.
744
7458.9 Mon Dec 24 07:51:40 CET 2007
746 - fix the issue where urxvtd would not immediately close a window
747 when the command exited but only on the next X event.
748 - changed terminfo file not to use application keypad mode.
749 - fix the issue where making a selection in one urxvtd window
750 would not clear it visually in another.
751 - fix an issue of urxvt not getting background pixmap updates
752 and flickering after bg pixmap changes (reported by Mikachu).
753 - fix redraw bug in xterm scrollbar with -sr (reported by Mikachu).
754 - correctly provide dependencies for libev (µikachu).
755 - minor code reorganisations and cleanups.
756 - be more robust in case the urxvt-popup extension cannot be loaded.
757
7588.8 Sat Dec 15 19:40:39 CET 2007
759 - option -C was aliased to all unsupported options, activating
760 options that shouldn't be compiled in, leading to interesting
761 effects.
762 - updated libev, working around a bug in linux 2.4, curing the
763 symptom of urxvt not closing its window on shell exit. also
764 fixes a problem with urxvt not refreshing.
765 - the text blink callback was called even when no blinking
766 text was visible.
767 - pre-8.4 slipwheeling behaviour has been reinstated, with
768 some minor improvements.
769 - streamlined x events processing to only flush once per
770 display and not once per terminal window.
771 - quite a bit of minor code cleanups and codesize optimisations.
772
7738.7 Sun Nov 25 10:23:49 CET 2007
774 - update libev with an important bugfix that would cause crashes
775 when closing windows (when using rxvtd, and update is recommended).
776 - do not compile in the block builtin graphics with --disable-frills.
777
7788.6 Fri Nov 23 14:10:57 CET 2007
779 - upgrade libev to disable kqueue on anything but netbsd as it
780 seems to be broken everywhere else w.r.t. ptys.
781 - allow for spurious event notifications, as at least epoll and
782 especially solaris ports like to lie about them (symptoms:
783 urxvt "hangs" until there is some x11 related activity).
784 - -keysym command line options are now subjected to xlib parsing.
785 - add 'xrm' option analogous to Xt one.
786
7878.5a Wed Nov 21 10:16:33 CET 2007
788 - make it compile with --disable-transparency.
789
7908.5 Wed Nov 21 05:19:20 CET 2007
791 - expect major portability issues in this release: please test and report.
792 - converted from the veritable io manager event loop to
793 the high performance libev (http://software.schmorp.de/pkg/libev).
794 - minor tuning to the perl selection (include single words and more quoting chars).
795 - fix memory leak in pixmap code.
796 - fix a serious bug while setting the XIM destroy callback
797 on (typical) 64 bit systems.
798 - automove-background functionality re-implemented internally using :root op in pixmap
799 geometry string. For example: rxvt -pixmap "image.jpg;:root"
800 - do not link rxvtc against every lib on the planet anymore.
801 - parallel builds should work once more.
802
8038.4 Sat Oct 27 14:02:13 CEST 2007
804 - overhaul of the transparency/pixmap code (sasha).
805 - fix possible race between visual bell and poweron.
806 (reported by Martin von Gagern, gentoo?).
807 - urxvt -e no longer crashes the child.
808 - fixed some minor memleaks on incorrect usage or
809 missing DISPLAY.
810 - implement xterm 1002/1003 mouse tracking modes (exg).
811 - source code organisational cleanups (exg).
812 - updated io_manager.
813
8148.3 Wed Aug 1 20:21:31 CEST 2007
815 - new option: skipScroll/-ss, enabled by default.
816 - go with the times and expect x11 library files in /usr/lib, not
817 /usr/X11R6/lib.
818 - initial transparency improvement/afterimage support
819 patch by Sasha Vasko.
820 - add urgentOnBell resource to set the urgency hint
821 (patch by Philip Paeps).
822 - do not process focus events caused by grabs
823 (patch by Mikachu).
824 - add iso14755_52 resource to disable iso14755 5.2 (exg).
825 - add binding for backspace in iso14755 5.1 to remove the last
826 digit (exg).
827 - better option handling, support more than 30 options (exg).
828 - nuke reconf script, serves no purpose anymore.
829 - fixed and documented matcher/on_user_command processing in matcher
830 extension (tpope).
831 - compile out of the box on Solaris 10 (exg).
832 - fix MappingNotify events (reported by Stephan Walter).
833 - zero-initialise mwmhints, this seems to solve all sorts of minor
834 problems.
835
8368.2 Sat Feb 17 21:35:28 CET 2007
837 - fix make depend in src/, reported by exg.
838 - fixed typo in urxvt::GET_CUSTOM, causing the result to be wrong.
839 (patch by Sergey Vlasov).
840 - unbundled iom perl interface somewhat.
841 - scrollbar-xterm now uses the selected scrollColor instead of fg
842 (found by Aiviru).
843 - disabled linux kernel bug workaround again: disabling it gives
844 a 50% speed hit on affected machines, while enabling it gives
845 a similar speed hit to screen, which is likely the more common
846 case to work around for :/
847 - urxvt::rend2mask perl function, and utilization of it by matcher
848 (patch by Moshe Kamensky).
849 - use perl:matcher on a keysym to open most recently displayed URL.
850 - with matcher, when multiple patterns match, last wins, not first.
851 - fix make and make install with srcdir != builddir (exg).
852 - updated bundled libptytty to fix a bug where the tty would be kept
853 open (see the libptytty ChangeLog for details).
854 - delay setting the IUTF8 flag to after the tty settings have been
855 set so its value does not get lost (reported and analysed by Andrei
856 Paskevich).
857 - rip out support for obsolete sgtty.h interface.
858 - rip out support for non-POSIX termios variants.
859 - update libptytty.
860 - update iom.C, make it call ptytty::sanitise_stdfd on init.
861 - when !XFT, change rounding of colours to use a less correct formula to
862 meet user expectancies (#aaa becomes #a000a000a000 not #9f9f9f9f9f9f).
863 - change the starting offset of the pixmap set with backgroundPixmap
864 from (50,50) to (0,0) (exg).
865 - fix a typo in button_release, now meta-button2 request the value of
866 the Clipboard selection as it should (patch by Serge Koksharov).
867 - fix a bug in drawing a cell with a nonspacing char when using an xft
868 font with inheritPixmap and tintColor (exg).
869
8708.1 Thu Dec 7 22:27:25 CET 2006
871 - ｹﾘｽﾏｽﾌ゚ﾚｾ゙ﾝﾄ - zomg!!1, it's too early!!!
872 - fix the assumption that chars < 256 are single-width. Now
873 only assume this for codepoints 32 to 126 (reported by Dai.H.).
874 - $term->strwidth returned wide chars as width 1, because some jerk
875 confused min and max. Fixing this also fixes xim-onthespot.
876 Reported by Takano Akio.
877 - secondaryScroll is now enabled by default (as per the manpage),
878 reported by exg.
879 - correct the description of [percent]color rgba format in the manpage.
880 - incorporated macosx-clipboard extension by Samuel Ljungkvist.
881 - ignore (some) useless focus events (reported by mmc).
882 - updated compose table to unicode 5.0.0.
883
8848.0 Thu Nov 2 18:35:19 CET 2006
885 - combining characters cleared the area instead of creating an overlay,
886 thus losing the ability to draw combining characters properly in most
887 circumstances (reported by exg).
888 - specified fonts were incorrectly morphed to bold/italic according to the
889 basefont, even if explicitly specified (tracked down by tpope).
890 - fixed urxvt::strwidth to calculate width in the same way as screen.C.
891 - fix a crash caused by passing negative widths to overlay functions.
892 - added 'matcher' extension by tpope, replacing the mark-urls extension.
893 - improve url regex to match anything www.* (tpope).
894 - fixed bug with outline cursor color being wrong after xft fonts.
895 - update to libptytty-1.0.
896 - give proper diagnostic when RXVT_SOCKET is too long instead of
897 corrupting the stack (patch by exg).
898 - display current terminal locale in option menu.
899 - urxvtd no longer crashes when the client sends an inaccessible
900 working directory (reported by Roland Baer, possibly fixes gentoo
901 bug #143985).
902 - fixed many minor issues reported by Roland Baer.
903 - Leonid Khramov spotted a minor glitch in rxvtfont.C that
904 should not have any consequences, but was buggy nonetheless.
905 - manpage fix by exg.
906
9077.9 Mon Aug 7 18:16:07 CEST 2006
908 - fix the crashing bug people encountered with 7.8 + urxvtd + perl
909 + transparency. Ought to fix debian bug #380348.
910 - fix urxvtc.1.pod: it actually claimed -pty-fd would not work. But
911 it does! :->
912 - rxvt_fatal() in case the locale string is too long for our static buffer.
913 - fixed many, many, typos in the manpages (patch supplied by ves).
914
9157.8 Mon Jul 17 21:00:46 CEST 2006
916 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: this version will always read ~/.Xdefaults,
917 earlier versions only read it if display-resources (usually from
918 .Xresources) are not set. This avoids the #1 FAQ ("why isn't my
919 resource used") and seems to be logical behaviour, too. .Xdefaults
920 resources have a lower priority than display-specific resources.
921 - add "kuake" perl extension that does a similar thing to the kuake
922 terminal emulator (see man urxvtperl).
923 - use less "correct" color scaling that is compatible with libX11 and
924 Xft (avoids off-by-one colors resulting in striped backgrounds).
925 - the "depth" resource is now respected.
926 - preset the searchable-scrollback pattern with "(?i)" to default search
927 to case-insensitivity. Will automatically be cleared when typing an
928 uppercase character.
929 - add FORCE_UNBUFFERED_XFT define to features.h.
930 - re-enabled highlightcolor support with --enable-frills, based on
931 a patch by Martin Stubenschrott.
932 - double-buffered xft drawing did suffer from pixel offset issues
933 when pixmap transparency was enabled.
934 - strategically add # to the url-match regexes, as we really want to
935 match common URIs not common URLs. Reported by Aaron Griffin.
936 - moved on_osc_seq to on_osc_seq_perl and added a more
937 generic osc_seq.
938 - fix a bug causing double callback invocations when perl hooks
939 were invoked recursively.
940 - the automove-background extension now properly works when the
941 pixmap gets reset with an osc sequence (sqweek).
942 - selection-pastebin did not work properly with non-latin1-characters.
943 - apply colorUL only when the text colour is the default fg
944 (patch by Wu Fengguang).
945 - removed rxvtlib.h from the tarball, it had no reason to be there
946 (spotted by Decklin Foster).
947 - fix compiling with TRANSPARENT but !XPM_BACKGROUND, as reported
948 by omatunto_.
949 - slap in a using namespace std, might help on platforms that don't
950 follow C++ closely enough.
951 - fix mailto url regex, spotted within milliseconds by Jost Krieger.
952 - applied fade_color_update_func.patch by WU Fengguang.
953 - fix a bug where (due to an optimisation in av_delete), hiding the
954 bottom-most overlay would hide two overlays.
955
9567.7 Tue Feb 21 12:32:49 CET 2006
957 - use double-buffered drawing (xft fonts only). On many driver/hardware
958 combination this actually increases xft drawing speed, at the expense
959 of more network bandwidth and slight nausea on the side of the author.
960 - readline perl extension now requires shift-click instead of a normal
961 click, and eats the click.
962 - tabbed perl extension now supports -e.
963 - disabled graphics-exposures on the main drawing GC, report any
964 refresh bugs please.
965 - improve property handling for -pe tabbed: avoid unnecessary property
966 changes (for kde's benefit) at the expense of extra round-trips,
967 improve size hint setting.
968 - modified XIM according to a patch sent by Takano Akio that sets
969 the preedit rectangle for OverTheSpot, which helps some input methods
970 to correctly position their preedit window.
971 - un-optimise the line clearing on newly scrolled-in lines a bit: the
972 former reasoning was that any fg colour on default bg looks the same
973 in empty spaces, but that's not true when reversing (e.g. selection),
974 so also check for matching fg colours. This fixes the problem where
975 selecting newly scrolled-in lines would exhibit wrong colours.
976 - fix a bug in the perl interface causing focus in events to generate
977 focus out perl events, causing bad focus effects with -pe tabbed.
978 - fix a race resulting in a crash on exiting.
979 - fix a with --disable-xft that caused xfreecolors to be called on
980 colors never allocated, resulting in aborts (reported by Paco-Paco).
981 - resources on non-initial screens weren't refetched correctly
982 (reported by Paco-Paco).
983 - fix a bug in xcopyarea pass and _disable_ it, as it seems not to be
984 working in either rxvt-unicode nor in the original rxvt.
985 - removed undocumented -exec alias for the -e option.
986
9877.6 Fri Feb 10 08:52:36 CET 2006
988 - changed interpretation of [alpha] colour prefix.
989 - +option now really sets the option to default, instead of using the
990 resource value.
991 - options that require an argument now really _require_ an argument.
992 - the tabbed extension now forwards focus and key events to the
993 relevant tab window.
994 - tab colours are now configurable and have sensible defaults
995 (initial patch by hednod).
996 - option menu is extendable, readline, selection and
997 selection-autotransform can now be disabled/enabled at runtime.
998 - forcing a configure event to tabbed subwindows with -pe tabbed, for
999 the benefit of automove-background.
1000 - the automove-background extension added a wrong constant offset.
1001 - force refresh of XA_RESOURCE_STRING on virtual reconnect.
1002 - return exit status 2 in urxvtc when urxvtd couldn't be contacted.
1003 - the linux yield hack is back, now using usleep, and enabled only on
1004 __linux__.
1005 - further round trip eliminations in the !XFT case by remembering
1006 the colour components.
1007 - plain scrollbar works better with -sr.
1008 - fixed half-shadow scrollbar look.
1009 - more colour rtt optimisations.
1010 - properly(?) free colours on window close.
1011 - reorganised the FAQ into multiple sections.
1012 - add ISO646.1991-IRV to the list of supported codesets.
1013 - minor libptytty update.
1014
10157.5 Tue Jan 31 15:15:43 CET 2006
1016 - further improvements to the careful mode detection, and font width
1017 detection:
1018 - fully double-wide fonts will now be correctly treated,
1019 - overlap detection was improved.
1020 - detect totally broken fonts (usually synthesized by xft).
1021 - careful mode forced refresh sometimes clashed with blinking,
1022 causing unnecessary screen redraws.
1023 - better handling of XFT combining characters.
1024 - enable antialiasing for some replacement fonts, as they
1025 might get used for other encodings which really need it, later.
1026 - remove spacing=100 from all default fonts, as this creates totally
1027 weird spacing (5 times normal) with xft.
1028 - removed iso10646 fallback, as xorgs iso10646 encoded fonts are mostly
1029 broken.
1030 - removed gnu unifont fallback, all combining characters are broken.
1031 - replace named colours by xorg's rgb.txt equivalents, to
1032 reduce round trip time on startup, and short-cut allocation
1033 of rgb:rr/gg/bb for xft.
1034 - short-cut allocation of rgb values in the xlib case
1035 (patch by Paco-Paco).
1036 - overhauled color management: smaller codesize, alpha support.
1037 - support "rgba:rrrr/gggg/bbbb/aaaa" color specifications and
1038 an "[alpha]" prefix.
1039 - try to work around Xft and Xrender forcing everything to be 100%
1040 transparent. Long Live Xft!
1041 - do not include X11/Intrinsic.h anymore, directly use
1042 Xlib/Xutil/Xresource directly.
1043 - try to find a nearest matching color when color allocation fails
1044 on a pseudocolor screen.
1045 - SYNCCVS: compared to rxvt-cvs 2006-01-28, no relevant changes.
1046 - fix version report (DA) (which was unfortunately broken).
1047 - changed version number report again, now to emulate xterm closer.
1048 - added the OSC sequence 702 to detect the urxvt version number.
1049 - small configure updates.
1050 - further RTT optimisations.
1051 - backported clean-up patches for makefiles and documentation from
1052 the debian package.
1053 - updated doc/rxvt-unicode.spec file. It's still not maintained here,
1054 but much newer than the old one.
1055
10567.4 Sat Jan 28 15:26:27 CET 2006
1057 - screen background wasn't always erased properly when scrolling,
1058 - re-enabled clearing optimisation disabled in 7.4pre.
1059 - small configure updates for libptytty.
1060 - fixed version options: line output.
1061 - removed stoopid debugging message left in the code.
1062
10637.3 Wed Jan 25 22:47:35 CET 2006
1064 - don't let iso14755 or mouse reporting get into the way of perl
1065 (could lead to global grabs never being cleared).
1066 - experimental OnTheSpot editing support (-pe xim-onthespot).
1067 - moved Shift-Button2 paste combination to Meta-Button2.
1068 - the cutchars resource will now be respected and used by the
1069 selection extension.
1070 - added the "remote-clipboard" extension which just runs external
1071 commands to fetch and store the selection data.
1072 - added -depth switch that tries to get a different visual depth
1073 than the default (replaces the old PREFER_24_BIT logic).
1074 - removed (unused) arabic presentation form composing sequences.
1075 - be more strict when deciding that a core font glyph is too wide and
1076 needs the careful rendering mode.
1077 - allow more leeway for italic fonts when deciding that a character is
1078 too wide and needs careful mode.
1079 - redraw even more characters around characters using careful mode.
1080 - made selection-pastebin fully asynchronous.
1081 - reduced number of server turnarounds at startup by allocating
1082 atoms only once per display.
1083 - renamed on_keyboard_command to on_user_command.
1084 - changed version sos (ESC [ > c) response to be more compatible with
1085 xterm.
1086
10877.2 Sun Jan 22 21:58:16 CET 2006
1088 - bugfix: urxvt (not urxvtd) did not correctly handle multiple
1089 environments necessary, which resulted in segfaults within
1090 getenv (reproducible: urxvt -fn 9x15, open a menu once,
1091 ctrl-shift-672c).
1092 - bugfix: the selection speedup in in 7.1 unfortunately caused
1093 non-ascii characters to enlarge/move the selection.
1094 - bugfix: resizing sometimes leaked lines from the secondary to
1095 the primary screen.
1096 - bugfix: reducing window size while large amounts of text were output
1097 could lead to an assertion failure.
1098 - added "tabbed" extension that provides a crude tabbed terminal.
1099 - added "readline" extension that allows cursor positioning
1100 via mouse clicks.
1101 - now it is possible to insert the value of the CLIPBOARD selection
1102 with shift - mouse button 2.
1103 - fixed the automove-background extension to ignore coordinates
1104 in non-synthetic events.
1105 - created a separate libpty for portable and secure
1106 pty/tty/utmp/wtmp/lastlog handling, and include it in rxvt-unicode.
1107 - the non-terminfo visual bell now works asynchronously, so
1108 continuous ASCI BELs in one terminal do no longer monopolise the
1109 whole urxvt[d] process.
1110 - support some *BSD makes (for the time being, gnu make is a safe bet).
1111 - work around bugs in FreeBSD's gcc.
1112 - implemented some *BSD fixes in configure.
1113 - removed support for obsolete offix dnd protocol.
1114
11157.1 Thu Jan 19 20:25:34 CET 2006
1116 - setuid/setgid operation is now _encouraged_: security has been
1117 improved by moving privileged operations into a separate process
1118 and permanently dropping privileges within the terminal. This
1119 makes it possible to remove security checks from the perl code
1120 and gives a much safer feeling when urxvt needs to run with
1121 special privileges.
1122 - perl taint checking disabled, as urxvt no longer runs setuid/setgid
1123 itself.
1124 - new perl extension automove-background that can be used to get
1125 the same effect as pseudo-transparency with any pixmap.
1126 - new perl extension example: perl/selection-pastebin, can be used to
1127 e.g. upload the selection to a webserver and generate a url, or
1128 similar stuff.
1129 - use the scrollback buffer even when the scroll region doesn't
1130 span the whole screen, as long as it starts at row 0. Helps
1131 for programs displaying a status line at the bottom.
1132 - selection popup now shows selection in dec/hex/oct.
1133 - perl/selection: matching on unicode characters in the selection
1134 code was O(n²), which equals infinity in some degenerate cases
1135 :-> Matching is now done on UTF-8, which makes it almost instant.
1136 - perl/selection, perl/selection-autotransform: regexes are now
1137 being interpreted in the locale urxvt was started.
1138 - implemented override-redirect option and enabled it on menus,
1139 as kwin puts our windows behind the terminal (what a shoddy wm).
1140 - fixed struct utmp check in configure for OpenBSD.
1141 - complete overhaul of the pty/utmp management stuff and configure
1142 (Emanuele Giaquinta=exg).
1143 - add tsl/fsl and related capabilities to the terminfo description,
1144 to set the window title.
1145 - swap the environment in some more cases. This hopefully fixes
1146 some segfaults that might be caused by xft asking for env variables
1147 at the wrong time.
1148 - removed src/strings.C and src/menubar.C. No menubar support
1149 anymore.
1150 - removed all traces of SMOOTH_REFRESH.
1151 - nuked QNX support.
1152 - made some fixes to xpm offset and scaling code.
1153 - perl-overlays and refresh hooks were not applied in correct order.
1154 - changed coordinate-system of view_start/nsaved to be top to bottom.
1155 - iom extended to support listening for child exits.
1156
11577.0 Fri Jan 13 14:02:18 CET 2006
1158 - added sections for DISTRIBUTION MAINTAINERS and about
1159 SETUID/SETGID to the FAQ.
1160 - selection, searchable-scrollback, selection-popup and
1161 option-popup extensions enabled by default.
1162 - increased xft drawing speed for problematic fonts. The effect
1163 will likely be small as 99% of the xft slowness is server-related.
1164 - perl: much increased functionality, better overlays, popup support
1165 and much much more.
1166 - perl: urxvt::line now can set via ->t and ->r.
1167 - perl: changed interpretation of --perl-ext-common and -pe.
1168 - perl: finally implemented --perl-eval.
1169 - perl: non-blocking anyevent support.
1170 - perl: run tainted and ignore perl-eval/perl-lib if started
1171 setuid/setgid.
1172 - free the resource database: this plugs a massive memory leak. As a
1173 side effect, it also gets rid of XGetDefault calls.
1174 - free one of the cursors, fixes a small memory leak.
1175 - built-in (as opposed to terminfos) visual bell was broken/too fast.
1176 - applied minor cleanups by Ladislav Michnovic.
1177 - applied pty handling cleanups and improvements (Emanuele Giaquinta).
1178 - mark-urls launch-on-click by jepler.
1179 - removed "small" resource parsing function, as it wasn't really
1180 compatible, and not really small either.
1181 - removed PATH_ENV and PATH file search support.
1182 - removed support for locale-specific app-defaults file.
1183 - fixed a bug where out-of-bounds colour sequences could lead
1184 to crashes.
1185 - limit colour changing to the standard 88 palette instead of all
1186 colours.
1187 - XTerm_Color01 sequence returned wrong results in query mode.
1188 - iom.C now checks against destructed io_manager when unregistering.
1189
11906.3 Wed Jan 4 22:37:10 CET 2006
1191 - SECURITY FIX: on systems using openpty, permissions were
1192 not correctly updated on the tty device and were left as
1193 world-readable and world-writable (likely in original rxvt,
1194 too), and were not restored properly. Affected are only
1195 systems where non-unix ptys were used (such as most BSDs, not
1196 GNU/Linux). (found, patched and debugged by Ryan Beasley).
1197 - meta8 support was forcefully enabled in most configurations.
1198 restored configurability of this (useless) feature (reported
1199 by Mikachu).
1200 - optionally embed a perl interpreter, which can be used for more
1201 intelligent/customized selection support, visual feedback,
1202 menus, tabs etc. See the the urxvtperl manpage, the -pe option,
1203 perl*-resources and keysym resources. Not everything is there yet.
1204 - try to be more clever about differing font sizes and their ascent.
1205 Not guaranteed to work, but works better in most cases now.
1206 - fix directory permissions on install.
1207 - implemented option to disable built-in line drawing characters
1208 and fall back to the font ones (patch by Martin Pohlack).
1209 - disabled sched_yield support: the linux version is just too useless
1210 (it schedules nice'd processes before the own one for extended
1211 periods). Too bad, it could reduce system time by a factor of 5 here.
1212
12136.2 Mon Jan 2 16:03:01 CET 2006
1214 - implemented intensityStyles option which enables/disables bold/blink
1215 selecting high intensity foreground/background colours, suggested by
1216 Chuck Blake.
1217 - move iso14755 character feedback box out of the way if it would
1218 obscure the mouse cursor position.
1219 - replaced callback.h by a fixed version from gvpe that correctly
1220 returns the callback result (affects new -pty-fd semantics in urxvtc
1221 on a few architectures). Reported by darix.
1222 - include one trailing space in rectangular selections to indicate
1223 the inserted newline (yeah, weird, but visually more pleasing).
1224 - try to use sched_yield to (drastically) improve terminal data
1225 transfer efficiency.
1226 - further minor cleanups.
1227
12286.1 Tue Dec 27 13:23:40 CET 2005
1229 - update iso8859-7 table (euro and drachma round-trip et al.).
1230 - fix a crash when the selection scrolls out of the scrollback
1231 while the user still drags.
1232 - selections that were partially scrolled out of the window were
1233 not drawn correctly.
1234 - lines newly scrolled in were not initialized properly, leading
1235 to extremely long lines and (hopefully) some segfaults.
1236 - iso14755 overlay position was wrong.
1237 - iso14755 overlay now displays rendition info, too.
1238 - use unicode white space class instead of hardcoded values for
1239 stripping whitespace.
1240 - do whitespace stripping on rectangular selections.
1241 - slight cleanups in src/features.h.
1242
12436.0 Sat Dec 24 13:58:56 CET 2005
1244 - make it compile without SMART_RESIZE again.
1245 - enable slow link support by default.
1246 - fix relative cursor-positioning not respecting scrolling regions
1247 (also a bug in original rxvt).
1248 - initialize termios structure to zero when fetching it fails
1249 (see http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=84647 for a
1250 partial patch).
1251 - bump max columns/rows to 10000 each.
1252 - bump max savelines to 10000000.
1253 - -pty-fd now passes the urxvtc fd to the urxvtd process.
1254 - avoid linking against -lnsl/-lsocket/-lxpg4 unless necessary.
1255 - major code cleanup (still not complete, though).
1256 - implement -hold option.
1257 - _major_ rewrite of internal buffer handling:
1258 - re-flow on resize, lines get wrapped instead of winged.
1259 - circular line buffer (substantially speeds up scrolling).
1260 - slightly less code + data memory usage per terminal.
1261 - slight overall speed improvements.
1262 - considerably improved code clarity.
1263 - partial-screen scrolls no longer end up in the scrollback
1264 buffer.
1265
12665.9 Sat Dec 17 21:53:17 CET 2005
1267 - fix a bug in the menu code of unknown impact, found by darix.
1268 - clean up signal handling to be global, not per terminal
1269 (matters only for rxvtd).
1270 - fix small typoe in rxvt.1 (found by Mike Fabian).
1271 - don't crash when broken xft/fontconfig/freetype versions return
1272 bogus data, ignore the xft font instead (experienced on suse).
1273
12745.8 Tue Oct 25 22:21:45 CEST 2005
1275 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: many configure options are now on by default.
1276 If you want the old behaviour, try:
1277 configure --disable-everything <your enable options>
1278 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: -fade changed its meaning to comply with
1279 the documentation and common sense: when upgrading, replace your
1280 percentage by 100-percentage.
1281 - integrated "fade to specific colour" patch by Martin Parm.
1282 - slow down the internal visual bell (delay by 20ms) and update
1283 the terminfo flash code to use the same delay. This is
1284 synchronous, so many bells might inhibit screen updates in other
1285 windows.
1286 - text with background==foreground colour gets displayed with default
1287 bg/fg now when in reverse video, so it can be seen when selecting.
1288 - allow koi8r* as x11 encoding name for koi8r (Nikita Danilov).
1289 - removed undocumented inheritPixmapforce option.
1290 - replaced INSTALL file.
14 1291
155.7 Wed Jul 13 04:46:33 CEST 2005 12925.7 Wed Jul 13 04:46:33 CEST 2005
16 - implement some useful (hopefully) options for rxvtd. 1293 - implement some useful (hopefully) options for rxvtd.
17 - separate and improved rxvtc(1) and rxvtd(1) manpages. 1294 - separate and improved rxvtc(1) and rxvtd(1) manpages.
