7TODO: Opt_transparent_all unused? 3TODO: xcopyarea pass broken, fix and improve
8TODO: after requesting the selection and getting a timeout, no fuirther requests will be sent. 4TODO: event mechanism that replaces on_keyboard_command with something more scalable.
9TODO: --enable-minimal non-default 5TODO: slipwheeling needs a keyboard grab to get key release events.
10TODO: do font request caching, might help rxvtd on some machines 6TODO: overlays collide with the way the out-of-focus cursor is being drawn
11TODO: safer command: keymap processing.
12TODO: "slow" rendering mode for bidi and scripts 7TODO: "slow" rendering mode for bidi and scripts, pango!
13TODO: read property sequence is broken with respect to utf-8 etc. 8TODO: read property sequence is broken with respect to utf-8 etc.
9TODO: slow drag selection on remote display - other things seem fast (rxvt illness, motion hints?)
10TODO: investigate -pe tabbed -g 80x25 being 23 not 24 or 25 lines
11 => when setting the constraints, the wm might (correctly)
12 resize the outer window, which might result in a smaller window overall.
13 or something like that. guys, send me a patch.

24 23
255.8 24 - hopefully fix the crashing bug people encounter with 7.8
25 (triggered by using transparency + perl). Likely fixes debian bug #380348.
26 - fix urxvtc.1.pod: it actually claimed -pty-fd would not work. But
27 it does! :->
28 - rxvt_fatal() in case the locale string is too long for our static buffer.
29 - fixed many, many, typos in the documentation (patch supplied by ves).

317.8 Mon Jul 17 21:00:46 CEST 2006
32 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: this version will always read ~/.Xdefaults,
33 earlier versions only read it if display-resources (usually from
34 .Xresources) are not set. This avoids the #1 FAQ ("why isn't my
35 resource used") and seems to be logical behaviour, too. .Xdefaults
36 resources have a lower priority than display-specific resources.
37 - add "kuake" perl extension that does a similar thing to the kuake
38 terminal emulator (see man urxtvperl).
39 - use less "correct" color scaling that is compatible with libX11 and
40 Xft (avoids off-by-one colors resulting in striped backgrounds).
41 - the "depth" resource is now respected.
42 - preset the searchable-scrollback pattern with "(?i)" to default search
43 to case-insensitivity. Will automatically be cleared when typing an
44 uppercase character.
45 - add FORCE_UNBUFFERED_XFT define to features.h.
46 - re-enabled highlightcolor support with --enable-frills, based on
47 a patch by Martin Stubenschrott.
48 - double-buffered xft drawing did suffer from pixel offset issues
49 when pixmap transparency was enabled.
50 - strategically add # to the url-match regexes, as we really want to
51 match common URIs not common URLs. Reported by Aaron Griffin.
52 - moved on_osc_seq to on_osc_seq_perl and added a more
53 generic osc_seq.
54 - fix a bug causing double callback invocations when perl hooks
55 were invoked recursively.
56 - the automove-background extension now properly works when the
57 pixmap gets reset with an osc sequence (sqweek).
58 - selection-pastebin did not work properly with non-latin1-characters.
59 - apply colorUL only when the text colour is the default fg
60 (patch by Wu Fengguang).
61 - removed rxvtlib.h from the tarball, it had no reason to be there
62 (spotted by Decklin Foster).
63 - fix compiling with TRANSPARENT but !XPM_BACKGROUND, as reported
64 by omatunto_.
65 - slap in a using namespace std, might help on platforms that don't
66 follow C++ closely enough.
67 - fix mailto url regex, spotted within milliseconds by Jost Krieger.
68 - applied fade_color_update_func.patch by WU Fengguang.
69 - fix a bug where (due to an optimisation in av_delete), hiding the
70 bottom-most overlay would hide two overlays.
71
727.7 Tue Feb 21 12:32:49 CET 2006
73 - use double-buffered drawing (xft fonts only). On many driver/hardware
74 combination this actually increases xft drawing speed, at the expense
75 of more network bandwidth and slight nausea on the side of the author.
76 - readline perl extension now requires shift-click instead of a normal
77 click, and eats the click.
78 - tabbed perl extension now supports -e.
79 - disabled graphics-exposures on the main drawing GC, report any
80 refresh bugs please.
81 - improve property handling for -pe tabbed: avoid unnecessary property
82 changes (for kde's benefit) at the expense of extra round-trips,
83 improve size hint setting.
84 - modified XIM according to a patch sent by Takano Akio that sets
85 the preedit rectangle for OverTheSpot, which helps some input methods
86 to correctly position their preedit window.
87 - un-optimise the line clearing on newly scrolled-in lines a bit: the
88 former reasoning was that any fg colour on default bg looks the same
89 in empty spaces, but thats not true when reversing (e.g. selection),
90 so also check for matching fg colours. This fixes the problem where
91 selecting newly scrolled-in lines would exhibit wrong colours.
92 - fix a bug in the perl interface causing focus in events to generate
93 focus out perl events, causing bad focus effects with -pe tabbed.
94 - fix a race resulting in a crash on exiting.
95 - fix a with --disable-xft that caused xfreecolors to be called on
96 colors never allocated, resulting in aborts (reported by Paco-Paco).
97 - resources on non-initial screens weren't refetched correctly
98 (reported by Paco-Paco).
99 - fix a bug in xcopyarea pass and _disable_ it, as it seems not to be
100 working in either rxvt-unicode nor in the original rxvt.
101 - removed undocumented -exec alias for the -e option.
102
1037.6 Fri Feb 10 08:52:36 CET 2006
104 - changed interpretation of [alpha] colour prefix.
105 - +option now really sets the option to default, instead of using the
106 resource value.
107 - options that require an argument now really _require_ an argument.
108 - the tabbed extension now forwards focus and keys events to th
109 relevant tab window.
110 - tab colours are now configurable and have sensible defaults
111 (initial patch by hednod).
112 - option menu is extendable, readline, selection and
113 selection-autotransform can now be disabled/enabled at runtime.
114 - forcing a configure event to tabbed subwindows with -pe tabbed, for
115 the benefit of automove-background.
116 - the automove-background extension added a wrong constant offset.
117 - force refresh of XA_RESOURCE_STRING on virtual reconnect.
118 - return exit status 2 in urxvtc when urxvtd couldn't be contacted.
119 - the linux yield hack is back, now using usleep, and enabled only on
120 __linux__.
121 - further round trip eliminations in the !XFT case by remembering
122 the colour components.
123 - plain scrollbar works better with -sr.
124 - fixed half-shadow scrollbar look.
125 - more colour rtt optimisations.
126 - properly(?) free colours on window close.
127 - reorganised the FAQ into multiple sections.
128 - add ISO646.1991-IRV to the list of supported codesets.
129 - minor libptytty update.
130
1317.5 Tue Jan 31 15:15:43 CET 2006
132 - further improvements to the careful mode detection, and font width
133 detection:
134 - fully double-wide fonts will now be correctly treated,
135 - overlap detection was improved.
136 - detect totally broken fonts (usually synthesized by xft).
137 - careful mode forced refresh sometimes clashed with blinking,
138 causing unnecessary screen redraws.
139 - better handling of XFT combining characters.
140 - enable antialiasing for some replacement fonts, as they
141 might get used for other encodings which really need it, later.
142 - remove spacing=100 from all default fonts, as this creates totally
143 weird spacing (5 times normal) with xft.
144 - removed iso10646 fallback, as xorgs iso10646 encoded fonts are mostly
145 broken.
146 - removed gnu unifont fallback, all combining characters are broken.
147 - replace named colours by xorg's rgb.txt equivalents, to
148 reduce round trip time on startup, and short-cut allocation
149 of rgb:rr/gg/bb for xft.
150 - short-cut allocation of rgb values in the xlib case
151 (patch by Paco-Paco).
152 - overhauled color management: smaller codesize, alpha support.
153 - support "rgba:rrrr/gggg/bbbb/aaaa" color specifications and
154 an "[alpha]" prefix.
155 - try to work around Xft and Xrender forcing everything to be 100%
156 transparent. Long Live Xft!
157 - do not include X11/Intrinsic.h anymore, directly use
158 Xlib/Xutil/Xresource directly.
159 - try to find a nearest matching color when color allocation fails
160 on a pseudocolor screen.
161 - SYNCCVS: compared to rxvt-cvs 2006-01-28, no relevant changes.
162 - fix version report (DA) (which was unfortunately broken).
163 - changed version number report again, now to emulate xterm closer.
164 - added the OSC sequence 702 to detect the urxvt version number.
165 - small configure updates.
166 - further RTT optimisations.
167 - backported clean-up patches for makefiles and documentation from
168 the debian package.
169 - updated doc/rxvt-unicode.spec file. It's still not maintained here,
170 but much newer than the old one.
171
1727.4 Sat Jan 28 15:26:27 CET 2006
173 - screen background wasn't always erased properly when scrolling,
174 - re-enabled clearing optimisation disabled in 7.4pre.
175 - small configure updates for libptytty.
176 - fixed version options: line output.
177 - removed stoopid debugging message left in the code.
178
1797.3 Wed Jan 25 22:47:35 CET 2006
180 - don't let iso14755 or mouse reporting get into the way of perl
181 (could lead to global grabs never being cleared).
182 - experimental OnTheSpot editing support (-pe xim-onthespot).
183 - moved Shift-Button2 paste combination to Meta-Button2.
184 - the cutchars resource will now be respected and used by the
185 selection extension.
186 - added the "remote-clipboard" extension which just runs external
187 commands to fetch and store the selection data.
188 - added -depth switch that tries to get a different visual depth
189 than the default (replaces the old PREFER_24_BIT logic).
190 - removed (unused) arabic presentation form composing sequences.
191 - be more strict when deciding that a core font glyph is too wide and
192 needs the careful rendering mode.
193 - allow more leeway for italic fonts when deciding that a character is
194 too wide and needs careful mode.
195 - redraw even more characters around characters using careful mode.
196 - made selection-pastebin fully asynchronous.
197 - reduced number of server turnarounds at startup by allocating
198 atoms only once per display.
199 - renamed on_keyboard_command to on_user_command.
200 - changed version sos (ESC [ > c) response to be more compatible with
201 xterm.
202
2037.2 Sun Jan 22 21:58:16 CET 2006
204 - bugfix: urxvt (not urxvtd) did not correctly handle multiple
205 environments necessary, which resulted in segfaults within
206 getenv (reproducable: urxvt -fn 9x15, open a menu once,
207 ctrl-shift-672c).
208 - bugfix: the selection speedup in in 7.1 unfortunately caused
209 non-ascii characters to enlarge/move the selection.
210 - bugfix: resizing sometimes leaked lines from the secondary to
211 the primary screen.
212 - bugfix: reducing window size while large amounts of text were output
213 could lead to an assertion failure.
214 - added "tabbed" extension that provides a crude tabbed terminal.
215 - added "readline" extension that allows cursor positioning
216 via mouse clicks.
217 - now it is possible to insert the value of the CLIPBOARD selection
218 with shift - mouse button 2.
219 - fixed the automove-background extension to ignore coordinates
220 in non-synthetic events.
221 - created a separate libpty for portable and secure
222 pty/tty/utmp/wtmp/lastlog handling, and include it in rxvt-unicode.
223 - the non-terminfo visual bell now works asynchronously, so
224 continuous ASCI BELs in one terminal do no longer monopolise the
225 whole urxvt[d] process.
226 - support some *BSD makes (for the time being, gnu make is a safe bet).
227 - work around bugs in FreeBSD's gcc.
228 - implemented some *BSD fixes in configure.
229 - removed support for obsolete offix dnd protocol.
230
2317.1 Thu Jan 19 20:25:34 CET 2006
232 - setuid/setgid operation is now _encouraged_: security has been
233 improved by moving privileged operations into a separate process
234 and permanently dropping privileges within the terminal. This
235 makes it possible to remove security checks from the perl code
236 and gives a much safer feeling when urxvt needs to run with
237 special privileges.
238 - perl taint checking disabled, as urxvt no longer runs setuid/setgid
239 itself.
240 - new perl extension automove-background that can be used to get
241 the same effect as pseudo-transparency with any pixmap.
242 - new perl extension example: perl/selection-pastebin, can be used to
243 e.g. upload the selection to a webserver and generate a url, or
244 similar stuff.
245 - use the scrollback buffer even when the scroll region doesn't
246 span the whole screen, as long as it starts at row 0. Helps
247 for programs displaying a status line at the bottom.
248 - selection popup now shows selection in dec/hex/oct.
249 - perl/selection: matching on unicode characters in the selection
250 code was O(n²), which equals infinity in some degenerate cases
251 :-> Matching is now done on UTF-8, which makes it almost instant.
252 - perl/selection, perl/selection-autotransform: regexes are now
253 being interpreted in the locale urxvt was started.
254 - implemented override-redirect option and enabled it on menus,
255 as kwin puts our windows behind the terminal (what a shoddy wm).
256 - fixed struct utmp check in configure for OpenBSD.
257 - complete overhaul of the pty/utmp management stuff and configure
258 (Emanuele Giaquinta).
259 - add tsl/fsl and related capabilities to the terminfo description,
260 to set the window title.
261 - swap the environment in some more cases. This hopefully fixes
262 some segfaults that might be caused by xft asking for env variables
263 at the wrong time.
264 - removed src/strings.C and src/menubar.C. No menubar support
265 anymore.
266 - removed all traces of SMOOTH_REFRESH.
267 - nuked QNX support.
268 - made some fixes to xpm offset and scaling code.
269 - perl-overlays and refresh hooks were not applied in correct order.
270 - changed coordinate-system of view_start/nsaved to be top to bottom.
271 - iom extended to support listening for child exits.
272
2737.0 Fri Jan 13 14:02:18 CET 2006
274 - added sections for DISTRIBUTION MAINTAINERS and about
275 SETUID/SETGID to the FAQ.
276 - selection, searchable-scrollback, selection-popup and
277 option-popup extensions enabled by default.
278 - increased xft drawing speed for problematic fonts. The effect
279 will likely be small as 99% of the xft slowness is server-related.
280 - perl: much increased functionality, better overlays, popup support
281 and much much more.
282 - perl: urxvt::line now can set via ->t and ->r.
283 - perl: changed interpretation of --perl-ext-common and -pe.
284 - perl: finally implemented --perl-eval.
285 - perl: non-blocking anyevent support.
286 - perl: run tainted and ignore perl-eval/perl-lib if started
287 setuid/setgid.
288 - free the resource database: this plugs a massive memory leak. As a
289 side effect, it also gets rid of XGetDefault calls.
290 - free one of the cursors, fixes a small memory leak.
291 - built-in (as opposed to terminfos) visual bell was broken/too fast.
292 - applied minor cleanups by Ladislav Michnovic.
293 - applied pty handling cleanups and improvements (Emanuele Giaquinta).
294 - mark-urls launch-on-click by jepler.
295 - removed "small" resource parsing function, as it wasn't really
296 compatible, and not really small either.
297 - removed PATH_ENV and PATH file search support.
298 - removed support for locale-specific app-defaults file.
299 - fixed a bug where out-of-bounds colour sequences could lead
300 to crashes.
301 - limit colour changing to the standard 88 palette instead of all
302 colours.
303 - XTerm_Color01 sequence returned wrong results in query mode.
304 - iom.C now checks against destructed io_manager when unregistering.
305
3066.3 Wed Jan 4 22:37:10 CET 2006
307 - SECURITY FIX: on systems using openpty, permissions were
308 not correctly updated on the tty device and were left as
309 world-readable and world-writable (likely in original rxvt,
310 too), and were not restored properly. Affected are only
311 systems where non-unix ptys were used (such as most BSDs, not
312 GNU/Linux). (found, patched and debugged by Ryan Beasley).
313 - meta8 support was forcefully enabled in most configurations.
314 restored configurability of this (useless) feature (reported
315 by Mikachu).
316 - optionally embed a perl interpreter, which can be used for more
317 intelligent/customized selection support, visual feedback,
318 menus, tabs etc. See the the urxvtperl manpage, the -pe option,
319 perl*-resources and keysym resources. Not everything is there yet.
320 - try to be more clever about differing font sizes and their ascent.
321 Not guarenteed to work, but works better in most cases now.
322 - fix directory permissions on install.
323 - implemented option to disable built-in line drawing characters
324 and fall back to the font ones (patch by Martin Pohlack).
325 - disabled sched_yield support: the linux version is just too useless
326 (it schedules nice'd processes before the own one for extended
327 periods). Too bad, it could reduce system time by a factor of 5 here.
328
3296.2 Mon Jan 2 16:03:01 CET 2006
330 - implemented intensityStyles option which enables/disables bold/blink
331 selecting high intensity foreground/background colours, suggested by
332 Chuck Blake.
333 - move iso14755 character feedback box out of the way if it would
334 obscure the mouse cursor position.
335 - replaced callback.h by a fixed version from gvpe that correctly
336 returns the callback result (affects new -pty-fd semantics in urxvtc
337 on a few architectures). Reported by darix.
338 - include one trailing space in rectangular selections to indicate
339 the inserted newline (yeah, weird, but visually more pleasing).
340 - try to use sched_yield to (drastically) improve terminal data
341 transfer efficiency.
342 - further minor cleanups.
343
3446.1 Tue Dec 27 13:23:40 CET 2005
345 - update iso8859-7 table (euro and drachma round-trip et al.).
346 - fix a crash when the selection scrolls out of the scrollback
347 while the user still drags.
348 - selections that were partially scrolled out of the window were
349 not drawn correctly.
350 - lines newly scrolled in were not initialized properly, leading
351 to extremely long lines and (hopefully) some segfaults.
352 - iso14755 overlay position was wrong.
353 - iso14755 overlay now displays rendition info, too.
354 - use unicode white space class instead of hardcoded values for
355 stripping whitespace.
356 - do whitespace stripping on rectangular selections.
357 - slight cleanups in src/features.h.
358
3596.0 Sat Dec 24 13:58:56 CET 2005
360 - make it compile without SMART_RESIZE again.
361 - enable slow link support by default.
362 - fix relative cursor-positioning not respecting scrolling regions
363 (also a bug in original rxvt).
364 - initialize termios structure to zero when fetching it fails
365 (see http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=84647 for a
366 partial patch).
367 - bump max columns/rows to 10000 each.
368 - bump max savelines to 10000000.
369 - -pty-fd now passes the urxvtc fd to the urxvtd process.
370 - avoid linking against -lnsl/-lsocket/-lxpg4 unless neccessary.
371 - major code cleanup (still not complete, though).
372 - implement -hold option.
373 - _major_ rewrite of internal buffer handling:
374 - re-flow on resize, lines get wrapped instead of winged.
375 - circular line buffer (substantially speeds up scrolling).
376 - slightly less code + data memory usage per terminal.
377 - slight overall speed improvements.
378 - considerably improved code clarity.
379 - partial-screen scrolls no longer end up in the scrollback
380 buffer.
381
3825.9 Sat Dec 17 21:53:17 CET 2005
383 - fix a bug in the menu code of unknown impact, found by darix.
384 - clean up signal handling to be global, not per terminal
385 (matters only for rxvtd).
386 - fix small typoe in rxvt.1 (found by Mike Fabian).
387 - don't crash when broken xft/fontconfig/freetype versions return
388 bogus data, ignore the xft font instead (experienced on suse).
389
3905.8 Tue Oct 25 22:21:45 CEST 2005
391 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: many configure options are now on by default.
392 If you want the old behaviour, try:
393 configure --disable-everything <your enable options>
26 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: -fade changed it's meaning to comply with 394 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: -fade changed it's meaning to comply with
27 the documentation and common sense: when upgrading, replace your 395 the documentation and common sense: when upgrading, replace your
28 percentage by 100-percentage. 396 percentage by 100-percentage.
29 - integrated "fade to specific colour" patch by Martin Parm. 397 - integrated "fade to specific colour" patch by Martin Parm.
30 - slow down the internal visual bell (delay by 20ms) and update 398 - slow down the internal visual bell (delay by 20ms) and update
31 the terminfo flash code to use the same delay. This is 399 the terminfo flash code to use the same delay. This is
32 synchronous, so many bells might inhibit screen updates in other 400 synchronous, so many bells might inhibit screen updates in other
33 windows. 401 windows.
34 - text with background==foreground colour gets displayed with default 402 - text with background==foreground colour gets displayed with default
35 bg/fg now when in reverse video, so it can be seen when selecting. 403 bg/fg now when in reverse video, so it can be seen when selecting.
36 - allow koi8r* as x11 encoding name for koi8r (Nikita Danilov). 404 - allow koi8r* as x11 encoding name for koi8r (Nikita Danilov).
37 405 - removed undocumented inheritPixmapforce option.
406 - replaced INSTALL file.
407
385.7 Wed Jul 13 04:46:33 CEST 2005 4085.7 Wed Jul 13 04:46:33 CEST 2005
39 - implement some useful (hopefully) options for rxvtd. 409 - implement some useful (hopefully) options for rxvtd.
40 - separate and improved rxvtc(1) and rxvtd(1) manpages. 410 - separate and improved rxvtc(1) and rxvtd(1) manpages.
