17 20
21 - overhaul of the transparency/pixmap code (sasha).
22 - fix possible race betwen visual bell and poweron.
23 (reported by Martin von Gagern, gentoo?).
24 - rxvt -e no longer crashes the child.
25 - fixed some minor memleaks on incorrect usage or
26 missing DISPLAY.
27
288.3 Wed Aug 1 20:21:31 CEST 2007
29 - new option: skipScroll/-ss, enabled by default.
30 - go with the times and expect x11 library files in /usr/lib, not
31 /usr/X11R6/lib.
32 - initial transparency improvement/afterimage support
33 patch by Sasha Vasko.
34 - add urgentOnBell resource to set the urgency hint
35 (patch by Philip Paeps).
36 - do not process focus events caused by grabs
37 (patch by Mikachu).
38 - add iso14755_52 resource to disable iso14755 5.2 (exg).
39 - add binding for backspace in iso14755 5.1 to remove the last
40 digit (exg).
41 - better option handling, support more than 30 options (exg).
42 - nuke reconf script, serves no purpose anymore.
43 - fixed and documented matcher/on_user_command processing in matcher
44 extension (tpope).
45 - compile out of the box on Solaris 10 (exg).
46 - fix MappingNotify events (reported by Stephan Walter).
47 - zero-initialise mwmhints, this seems to solve all sorts of minor
48 problems.
49
508.2 Sat Feb 17 21:35:28 CET 2007
51 - fix make depend in src/, reported by exg.
52 - fixed typo in urxvt::GET_CUSTOM, causing the result to be wrong.
53 (patch by Sergey Vlasov).
54 - unbundled iom perl interface somewhat.
55 - scrollbar-xterm now uses the selected scrollColor instead of fg
56 (found by Aiviru).
57 - disabled linux kernel bug workaround again: disabling it gives
58 a 50% speed hit on affected machines, while enabling it gives
59 a similar speed hit to screen, which is likely the more common
60 case to work around for :/
61 - urxvt::rend2mask perl function, and utilization of it by matcher
62 (patch by Moshe Kamensky).
63 - use perl:matcher on a keysym to open most recently displayed URL.
64 - with matcher, when multiple patterns match, last wins, not first.
65 - fix make and make install with srcdir != builddir (exg).
66 - updated bundled libptytty to fix a bug where the tty would be kept
67 open (see the libptytty ChangeLog for details).
68 - delay setting the IUTF8 flag to after the tty settings have been
69 set so its value does not get lost (reported and analysed by Andrei
70 Paskevich).
71 - rip out support for obsolete sgtty.h interface.
72 - rip out support for non-POSIX termios variants.
73 - update libptytty.
74 - update iom.C, make it call ptytty::sanitise_stdfd on init.
75 - when !XFT, change rounding of colours to use a less correct formula to
76 meet user expectancies (#aaa becomes #a000a000a000 not #9f9f9f9f9f9f).
77 - change the starting offset of the pixmap set with backgroundPixmap
78 from (50,50) to (0,0) (exg).
79 - fix a typo in button_release, now meta-button2 request the value of
80 the Clipboard selection as it should (patch by Serge Koksharov).
81 - fix a bug in drawing a cell with a nonspacing char when using an xft
82 font with inheritPixmap and tintColor (exg).
83
848.1 Thu Dec 7 22:27:25 CET 2006
85 - ケリスマスプレゼント - zomg!!1, it's too early!!!
86 - fix the assumption that chars < 256 are single-width. Now
87 only assume this for codepoints 32 to 126 (reported by Dai.H.).
88 - $term->strwidth returned wide chars as width 1, because some jerk
89 confused min and max. Fixing this also fixes xim-onthespot.
90 Reported by Takano Akio.
91 - secondaryScroll is now enabled by default (as per the manpage),
92 reported by exg.
93 - correct the description of [percent]color rgba format in the manpage.
94 - incorporated macosx-clipboard extension by Samuel Ljungkvist.
95 - ignore (some) useless focus events (reported by mmc).
96 - updated compose table to unicode 5.0.0.
97
988.0 Thu Nov 2 18:35:19 CET 2006
99 - combining characters cleared the area instead of creating an overlay,
100 thus losing the ability to draw combining characters properly in most
101 circumstances (reported by exg).
102 - specified fonts were incorrectly morphed to bold/italic according to the
103 basefont, even if explicitly specified (tracked down by tpope).
104 - fixed urxvt::strwidth to calculate width in the same way as screen.C.
105 - fix a crash caused by passing negative widths to overlay functions.
106 - added 'matcher' extension by tpope, replacing the mark-urls extension.
107 - improve url regex to match anything www.* (tpope).
108 - fixed bug with outline cursor color being wrong after xft fonts.
109 - update to libptytty-1.0.
110 - give proper diagnostic when RXVT_SOCKET is too long instead of
111 corrupting the stack (patch by exg).
112 - display current terminal locale in option menu.
113 - urxvtd no longer crashes when the client sends an inaccessible
114 working directory (reported by Roland Baer, possibly fixes gentoo
115 bug #143985).
116 - fixed many minor issues reported by Roland Baer.
117 - Leonid Khramov spotted a minor glitch in rxvtfont.C that
118 should not have any consequences, but was buggy nonetheless.
119 - manpage fix by exg.
120
1217.9 Mon Aug 7 18:16:07 CEST 2006
122 - fix the crashing bug people encountered with 7.8 + urxvtd + perl
123 + transparency. Ought to fix debian bug #380348.
124 - fix urxvtc.1.pod: it actually claimed -pty-fd would not work. But
125 it does! :->
126 - rxvt_fatal() in case the locale string is too long for our static buffer.
127 - fixed many, many, typos in the manpages (patch supplied by ves).
128
1297.8 Mon Jul 17 21:00:46 CEST 2006
130 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: this version will always read ~/.Xdefaults,
131 earlier versions only read it if display-resources (usually from
132 .Xresources) are not set. This avoids the #1 FAQ ("why isn't my
133 resource used") and seems to be logical behaviour, too. .Xdefaults
134 resources have a lower priority than display-specific resources.
135 - add "kuake" perl extension that does a similar thing to the kuake
136 terminal emulator (see man urxtvperl).
137 - use less "correct" color scaling that is compatible with libX11 and
138 Xft (avoids off-by-one colors resulting in striped backgrounds).
139 - the "depth" resource is now respected.
140 - preset the searchable-scrollback pattern with "(?i)" to default search
141 to case-insensitivity. Will automatically be cleared when typing an
142 uppercase character.
143 - add FORCE_UNBUFFERED_XFT define to features.h.
144 - re-enabled highlightcolor support with --enable-frills, based on
145 a patch by Martin Stubenschrott.
146 - double-buffered xft drawing did suffer from pixel offset issues
147 when pixmap transparency was enabled.
148 - strategically add # to the url-match regexes, as we really want to
149 match common URIs not common URLs. Reported by Aaron Griffin.
150 - moved on_osc_seq to on_osc_seq_perl and added a more
151 generic osc_seq.
152 - fix a bug causing double callback invocations when perl hooks
153 were invoked recursively.
154 - the automove-background extension now properly works when the
155 pixmap gets reset with an osc sequence (sqweek).
156 - selection-pastebin did not work properly with non-latin1-characters.
157 - apply colorUL only when the text colour is the default fg
158 (patch by Wu Fengguang).
159 - removed rxvtlib.h from the tarball, it had no reason to be there
160 (spotted by Decklin Foster).
161 - fix compiling with TRANSPARENT but !XPM_BACKGROUND, as reported
162 by omatunto_.
163 - slap in a using namespace std, might help on platforms that don't
164 follow C++ closely enough.
165 - fix mailto url regex, spotted within milliseconds by Jost Krieger.
166 - applied fade_color_update_func.patch by WU Fengguang.
167 - fix a bug where (due to an optimisation in av_delete), hiding the
168 bottom-most overlay would hide two overlays.
169
1707.7 Tue Feb 21 12:32:49 CET 2006
171 - use double-buffered drawing (xft fonts only). On many driver/hardware
172 combination this actually increases xft drawing speed, at the expense
173 of more network bandwidth and slight nausea on the side of the author.
174 - readline perl extension now requires shift-click instead of a normal
175 click, and eats the click.
176 - tabbed perl extension now supports -e.
177 - disabled graphics-exposures on the main drawing GC, report any
178 refresh bugs please.
179 - improve property handling for -pe tabbed: avoid unnecessary property
180 changes (for kde's benefit) at the expense of extra round-trips,
181 improve size hint setting.
182 - modified XIM according to a patch sent by Takano Akio that sets
183 the preedit rectangle for OverTheSpot, which helps some input methods
184 to correctly position their preedit window.
185 - un-optimise the line clearing on newly scrolled-in lines a bit: the
186 former reasoning was that any fg colour on default bg looks the same
187 in empty spaces, but thats not true when reversing (e.g. selection),
188 so also check for matching fg colours. This fixes the problem where
189 selecting newly scrolled-in lines would exhibit wrong colours.
190 - fix a bug in the perl interface causing focus in events to generate
191 focus out perl events, causing bad focus effects with -pe tabbed.
192 - fix a race resulting in a crash on exiting.
193 - fix a with --disable-xft that caused xfreecolors to be called on
194 colors never allocated, resulting in aborts (reported by Paco-Paco).
195 - resources on non-initial screens weren't refetched correctly
196 (reported by Paco-Paco).
197 - fix a bug in xcopyarea pass and _disable_ it, as it seems not to be
198 working in either rxvt-unicode nor in the original rxvt.
199 - removed undocumented -exec alias for the -e option.
200
2017.6 Fri Feb 10 08:52:36 CET 2006
202 - changed interpretation of [alpha] colour prefix.
203 - +option now really sets the option to default, instead of using the
204 resource value.
205 - options that require an argument now really _require_ an argument.
206 - the tabbed extension now forwards focus and keys events to th
207 relevant tab window.
208 - tab colours are now configurable and have sensible defaults
209 (initial patch by hednod).
210 - option menu is extendable, readline, selection and
211 selection-autotransform can now be disabled/enabled at runtime.
212 - forcing a configure event to tabbed subwindows with -pe tabbed, for
213 the benefit of automove-background.
214 - the automove-background extension added a wrong constant offset.
215 - force refresh of XA_RESOURCE_STRING on virtual reconnect.
216 - return exit status 2 in urxvtc when urxvtd couldn't be contacted.
217 - the linux yield hack is back, now using usleep, and enabled only on
218 __linux__.
219 - further round trip eliminations in the !XFT case by remembering
220 the colour components.
221 - plain scrollbar works better with -sr.
222 - fixed half-shadow scrollbar look.
223 - more colour rtt optimisations.
224 - properly(?) free colours on window close.
225 - reorganised the FAQ into multiple sections.
226 - add ISO646.1991-IRV to the list of supported codesets.
227 - minor libptytty update.
228
2297.5 Tue Jan 31 15:15:43 CET 2006
230 - further improvements to the careful mode detection, and font width
231 detection:
232 - fully double-wide fonts will now be correctly treated,
233 - overlap detection was improved.
234 - detect totally broken fonts (usually synthesized by xft).
235 - careful mode forced refresh sometimes clashed with blinking,
236 causing unnecessary screen redraws.
237 - better handling of XFT combining characters.
238 - enable antialiasing for some replacement fonts, as they
239 might get used for other encodings which really need it, later.
240 - remove spacing=100 from all default fonts, as this creates totally
241 weird spacing (5 times normal) with xft.
242 - removed iso10646 fallback, as xorgs iso10646 encoded fonts are mostly
243 broken.
244 - removed gnu unifont fallback, all combining characters are broken.
245 - replace named colours by xorg's rgb.txt equivalents, to
246 reduce round trip time on startup, and short-cut allocation
247 of rgb:rr/gg/bb for xft.
248 - short-cut allocation of rgb values in the xlib case
249 (patch by Paco-Paco).
250 - overhauled color management: smaller codesize, alpha support.
251 - support "rgba:rrrr/gggg/bbbb/aaaa" color specifications and
252 an "[alpha]" prefix.
253 - try to work around Xft and Xrender forcing everything to be 100%
254 transparent. Long Live Xft!
255 - do not include X11/Intrinsic.h anymore, directly use
256 Xlib/Xutil/Xresource directly.
257 - try to find a nearest matching color when color allocation fails
258 on a pseudocolor screen.
259 - SYNCCVS: compared to rxvt-cvs 2006-01-28, no relevant changes.
260 - fix version report (DA) (which was unfortunately broken).
261 - changed version number report again, now to emulate xterm closer.
262 - added the OSC sequence 702 to detect the urxvt version number.
263 - small configure updates.
264 - further RTT optimisations.
265 - backported clean-up patches for makefiles and documentation from
266 the debian package.
267 - updated doc/rxvt-unicode.spec file. It's still not maintained here,
268 but much newer than the old one.
269
2707.4 Sat Jan 28 15:26:27 CET 2006
271 - screen background wasn't always erased properly when scrolling,
272 - re-enabled clearing optimisation disabled in 7.4pre.
273 - small configure updates for libptytty.
274 - fixed version options: line output.
275 - removed stoopid debugging message left in the code.
276
2777.3 Wed Jan 25 22:47:35 CET 2006
278 - don't let iso14755 or mouse reporting get into the way of perl
279 (could lead to global grabs never being cleared).
280 - experimental OnTheSpot editing support (-pe xim-onthespot).
281 - moved Shift-Button2 paste combination to Meta-Button2.
282 - the cutchars resource will now be respected and used by the
283 selection extension.
284 - added the "remote-clipboard" extension which just runs external
285 commands to fetch and store the selection data.
286 - added -depth switch that tries to get a different visual depth
287 than the default (replaces the old PREFER_24_BIT logic).
288 - removed (unused) arabic presentation form composing sequences.
289 - be more strict when deciding that a core font glyph is too wide and
290 needs the careful rendering mode.
291 - allow more leeway for italic fonts when deciding that a character is
292 too wide and needs careful mode.
293 - redraw even more characters around characters using careful mode.
294 - made selection-pastebin fully asynchronous.
295 - reduced number of server turnarounds at startup by allocating
296 atoms only once per display.
297 - renamed on_keyboard_command to on_user_command.
298 - changed version sos (ESC [ > c) response to be more compatible with
299 xterm.
300
3017.2 Sun Jan 22 21:58:16 CET 2006
302 - bugfix: urxvt (not urxvtd) did not correctly handle multiple
303 environments necessary, which resulted in segfaults within
304 getenv (reproducable: urxvt -fn 9x15, open a menu once,
305 ctrl-shift-672c).
306 - bugfix: the selection speedup in in 7.1 unfortunately caused
307 non-ascii characters to enlarge/move the selection.
308 - bugfix: resizing sometimes leaked lines from the secondary to
309 the primary screen.
310 - bugfix: reducing window size while large amounts of text were output
311 could lead to an assertion failure.
312 - added "tabbed" extension that provides a crude tabbed terminal.
313 - added "readline" extension that allows cursor positioning
314 via mouse clicks.
315 - now it is possible to insert the value of the CLIPBOARD selection
316 with shift - mouse button 2.
317 - fixed the automove-background extension to ignore coordinates
318 in non-synthetic events.
319 - created a separate libpty for portable and secure
320 pty/tty/utmp/wtmp/lastlog handling, and include it in rxvt-unicode.
321 - the non-terminfo visual bell now works asynchronously, so
322 continuous ASCI BELs in one terminal do no longer monopolise the
323 whole urxvt[d] process.
324 - support some *BSD makes (for the time being, gnu make is a safe bet).
325 - work around bugs in FreeBSD's gcc.
326 - implemented some *BSD fixes in configure.
327 - removed support for obsolete offix dnd protocol.
328
3297.1 Thu Jan 19 20:25:34 CET 2006
330 - setuid/setgid operation is now _encouraged_: security has been
331 improved by moving privileged operations into a separate process
332 and permanently dropping privileges within the terminal. This
333 makes it possible to remove security checks from the perl code
334 and gives a much safer feeling when urxvt needs to run with
335 special privileges.
336 - perl taint checking disabled, as urxvt no longer runs setuid/setgid
337 itself.
338 - new perl extension automove-background that can be used to get
339 the same effect as pseudo-transparency with any pixmap.
340 - new perl extension example: perl/selection-pastebin, can be used to
341 e.g. upload the selection to a webserver and generate a url, or
342 similar stuff.
343 - use the scrollback buffer even when the scroll region doesn't
344 span the whole screen, as long as it starts at row 0. Helps
345 for programs displaying a status line at the bottom.
346 - selection popup now shows selection in dec/hex/oct.
347 - perl/selection: matching on unicode characters in the selection
348 code was O(n²), which equals infinity in some degenerate cases
349 :-> Matching is now done on UTF-8, which makes it almost instant.
350 - perl/selection, perl/selection-autotransform: regexes are now
351 being interpreted in the locale urxvt was started.
352 - implemented override-redirect option and enabled it on menus,
353 as kwin puts our windows behind the terminal (what a shoddy wm).
354 - fixed struct utmp check in configure for OpenBSD.
355 - complete overhaul of the pty/utmp management stuff and configure
356 (Emanuele Giaquinta).
357 - add tsl/fsl and related capabilities to the terminfo description,
358 to set the window title.
359 - swap the environment in some more cases. This hopefully fixes
360 some segfaults that might be caused by xft asking for env variables
361 at the wrong time.
362 - removed src/strings.C and src/menubar.C. No menubar support
363 anymore.
364 - removed all traces of SMOOTH_REFRESH.
365 - nuked QNX support.
366 - made some fixes to xpm offset and scaling code.
367 - perl-overlays and refresh hooks were not applied in correct order.
368 - changed coordinate-system of view_start/nsaved to be top to bottom.
369 - iom extended to support listening for child exits.
370
3717.0 Fri Jan 13 14:02:18 CET 2006
372 - added sections for DISTRIBUTION MAINTAINERS and about
373 SETUID/SETGID to the FAQ.
374 - selection, searchable-scrollback, selection-popup and
375 option-popup extensions enabled by default.
376 - increased xft drawing speed for problematic fonts. The effect
377 will likely be small as 99% of the xft slowness is server-related.
378 - perl: much increased functionality, better overlays, popup support
379 and much much more.
380 - perl: urxvt::line now can set via ->t and ->r.
381 - perl: changed interpretation of --perl-ext-common and -pe.
382 - perl: finally implemented --perl-eval.
383 - perl: non-blocking anyevent support.
384 - perl: run tainted and ignore perl-eval/perl-lib if started
385 setuid/setgid.
386 - free the resource database: this plugs a massive memory leak. As a
387 side effect, it also gets rid of XGetDefault calls.
388 - free one of the cursors, fixes a small memory leak.
389 - built-in (as opposed to terminfos) visual bell was broken/too fast.
390 - applied minor cleanups by Ladislav Michnovic.
391 - applied pty handling cleanups and improvements (Emanuele Giaquinta).
392 - mark-urls launch-on-click by jepler.
393 - removed "small" resource parsing function, as it wasn't really
394 compatible, and not really small either.
395 - removed PATH_ENV and PATH file search support.
396 - removed support for locale-specific app-defaults file.
397 - fixed a bug where out-of-bounds colour sequences could lead
398 to crashes.
399 - limit colour changing to the standard 88 palette instead of all
400 colours.
401 - XTerm_Color01 sequence returned wrong results in query mode.
402 - iom.C now checks against destructed io_manager when unregistering.
403
4046.3 Wed Jan 4 22:37:10 CET 2006
405 - SECURITY FIX: on systems using openpty, permissions were
406 not correctly updated on the tty device and were left as
407 world-readable and world-writable (likely in original rxvt,
408 too), and were not restored properly. Affected are only
409 systems where non-unix ptys were used (such as most BSDs, not
410 GNU/Linux). (found, patched and debugged by Ryan Beasley).
411 - meta8 support was forcefully enabled in most configurations.
412 restored configurability of this (useless) feature (reported
413 by Mikachu).
414 - optionally embed a perl interpreter, which can be used for more
415 intelligent/customized selection support, visual feedback,
416 menus, tabs etc. See the the urxvtperl manpage, the -pe option,
417 perl*-resources and keysym resources. Not everything is there yet.
418 - try to be more clever about differing font sizes and their ascent.
419 Not guarenteed to work, but works better in most cases now.
420 - fix directory permissions on install.
421 - implemented option to disable built-in line drawing characters
422 and fall back to the font ones (patch by Martin Pohlack).
423 - disabled sched_yield support: the linux version is just too useless
424 (it schedules nice'd processes before the own one for extended
425 periods). Too bad, it could reduce system time by a factor of 5 here.
426
4276.2 Mon Jan 2 16:03:01 CET 2006
428 - implemented intensityStyles option which enables/disables bold/blink
429 selecting high intensity foreground/background colours, suggested by
430 Chuck Blake.
431 - move iso14755 character feedback box out of the way if it would
432 obscure the mouse cursor position.
433 - replaced callback.h by a fixed version from gvpe that correctly
434 returns the callback result (affects new -pty-fd semantics in urxvtc
435 on a few architectures). Reported by darix.
436 - include one trailing space in rectangular selections to indicate
437 the inserted newline (yeah, weird, but visually more pleasing).

439 transfer efficiency.
440 - further minor cleanups.
441
4426.1 Tue Dec 27 13:23:40 CET 2005
443 - update iso8859-7 table (euro and drachma round-trip et al.).
444 - fix a crash when the selection scrolls out of the scrollback
445 while the user still drags.
446 - selections that were partially scrolled out of the window were
447 not drawn correctly.
448 - lines newly scrolled in were not initialized properly, leading
449 to extremely long lines and (hopefully) some segfaults.
450 - iso14755 overlay position was wrong.
451 - iso14755 overlay now displays rendition info, too.
452 - use unicode white space class instead of hardcoded values for
453 stripping whitespace.

463 (see http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=84647 for a
464 partial patch).
465 - bump max columns/rows to 10000 each.
466 - bump max savelines to 10000000.
467 - -pty-fd now passes the urxvtc fd to the urxvtd process.
468 - avoid linking against -lnsl/-lsocket/-lxpg4 unless neccessary.
469 - major code cleanup (still not complete, though).
470 - implement -hold option.
471 - _major_ rewrite of internal buffer handling:
472 - re-flow on resize, lines get wrapped instead of winged.
473 - circular line buffer (substantially speeds up scrolling).
474 - slightly less code + data memory usage per terminal.
475 - slight overall speed improvements.
476 - considerably improved code clarity.
477 - partial-screen scrolls no longer end up in the scrollback
478 buffer.
479
4805.9 Sat Dec 17 21:53:17 CET 2005
481 - fix a bug in the menu code of unknown impact, found by darix.
482 - clean up signal handling to be global, not per terminal
483 (matters only for rxvtd).
484 - fix small typoe in rxvt.1 (found by Mike Fabian).
485 - don't crash when broken xft/fontconfig/freetype versions return
486 bogus data, ignore the xft font instead (experienced on suse).
