11WISH: anyevent mouse notification / manage MotionMask better.
7TODO: http://www120.pair.com/mccarthy/nextstep/intro.htmld/Workspace.html is the correct nextstep look. 12WISH: http://www120.pair.com/mccarthy/nextstep/intro.htmld/Workspace.html is the correct nextstep look.
8WISH: /usr/share/doc/libdisplaymigration0-dev/spec.txt 13DUMB: support tex fonts

10WISH: line-rewrapping on resize 15TODO: option popup hook, make some exts switchable
11WISH: searchable backlog 16TODO: rework colors and blabla section
12WISH: meta-tagging of data by regex/master process (my dream project) 17
13WISH: OnTheSpot editing, or maybe switch to miiiiiiif 18 - changed interpretation of [alpha] colour prefix.
14WISH: tabbed windows (hey, just use screen...) 19 - +option now really sets the option to default, instead of using the
15WISH: just for fun, do shade and tint with XRender. 20 resource value.
21 - options that require an argument now really _require_ an argument.
22 - the tabbed extension now forwards focus and keys events to th
23 relevant tab window.
24 - tab colours are now configurable and have sensible defaults
25 (initial patch by hednod).
26 - the automove-background extension added a wrong constant offset.
27 - force refresh of XA_RESOURCE_STRING on virtual reconnect.
28 - return exit status 2 in urxvtc when urxvtd couldn't be contacted.
29 - the linux yield hack is back, now using usleep, and enabled only on
30 __linux__.
31 - further round trip eliminations in the !XFT case by remembering
32 the colour components.
33 - plain scrollbar works better with -sr.
34 - fixed half-shadow scrollbar look.
35 - more colour rtt optimisations.
36 - properly(?) free colours on window close.
37 - reorganised the FAQ into multiple sections.
38 - forcing a configure event to tabbed subwindows with -pe tabbed, for
39 the benefit of automove-background.
40 - add ISO646.1991-IRV to the list of supported codesets.
41
427.5 Tue Jan 31 15:15:43 CET 2006
43 - further improvements to the careful mode detection, and font width
44 detection:
45 - fully double-wide fonts will now be correctly treated,
46 - overlap detection was improved.
47 - detect totally broken fonts (usually synthesized by xft).
48 - careful mode forced refresh sometimes clashed with blinking,
49 causing unnecessary screen redraws.
50 - better handling of XFT combining characters.
51 - enable antialiasing for some replacement fonts, as they
52 might get used for other encodings which really need it, later.
53 - remove spacing=100 from all default fonts, as this creates totally
54 weird spacing (5 times normal) with xft.
55 - removed iso10646 fallback, as xorgs iso10646 encoded fonts are mostly
56 broken.
57 - removed gnu unifont fallback, all combining characters are broken.
58 - replace named colours by xorg's rgb.txt equivalents, to
59 reduce round trip time on startup, and short-cut allocation
60 of rgb:rr/gg/bb for xft.
61 - short-cut allocation of rgb values in the xlib case
62 (patch by Paco-Paco).
63 - overhauled color management: smaller codesize, alpha support.
64 - support "rgba:rrrr/gggg/bbbb/aaaa" color specifications and
65 an "[alpha]" prefix.
66 - try to work around Xft and Xrender forcing everything to be 100%
67 transparent. Long Live Xft!
68 - do not include X11/Intrinsic.h anymore, directly use
69 Xlib/Xutil/Xresource directly.
70 - try to find a nearest matching color when color allocation fails
71 on a pseudocolor screen.
72 - SYNCCVS: compared to rxvt-cvs 2006-01-28, no relevant changes.
73 - fix version report (DA) (which was unfortunately broken).
74 - changed version number report again, now to emulate xterm closer.
75 - added the OSC sequence 702 to detect the urxvt version number.
76 - small configure updates.
77 - further RTT optimisations.
78
797.4 Sat Jan 28 15:26:27 CET 2006
80 - screen background wasn't always erased properly when scrolling,
81 - re-enabled clearing optimisation disabled in 7.4pre.
82 - small configure updates for libptytty.
83 - fixed version options: line output.
84 - removed stoopid debugging message left in the code.
85
867.3 Wed Jan 25 22:47:35 CET 2006
87 - don't let iso14755 or mouse reporting get into the way of perl
88 (could lead to global grabs never being cleared).
89 - experimental OnTheSpot editing support (-pe xim-onthespot).
90 - moved Shift-Button2 paste combination to Meta-Button2.
91 - the cutchars resource will now be respected and used by the
92 selection extension.
93 - added the "remote-clipboard" extension which just runs external
94 commands to fetch and store the selection data.
95 - added -depth switch that tries to get a different visual depth
96 than the default (replaces the old PREFER_24_BIT logic).
97 - removed (unused) arabic presentation form composing sequences.
98 - be more strict when deciding that a core font glyph is too wide and
99 needs the careful rendering mode.
100 - allow more leeway for italic fonts when deciding that a character is
101 too wide and needs careful mode.
102 - redraw even more characters around characters using careful mode.
103 - made selection-pastebin fully asynchronous.
104 - reduced number of server turnarounds at startup by allocating
105 atoms only once per display.
106 - renamed on_keyboard_command to on_user_command.
107 - changed version sos (ESC [ > c) response to be more compatible with
108 xterm.
109
1107.2 Sun Jan 22 21:58:16 CET 2006
111 - bugfix: urxvt (not urxvtd) did not correctly handle multiple
112 environments necessary, which resulted in segfaults within
113 getenv (reproducable: urxvt -fn 9x15, open a menu once,
114 ctrl-shift-672c).
115 - bugfix: the selection speedup in in 7.1 unfortunately caused
116 non-ascii characters to enlarge/move the selection.
117 - bugfix: resizing sometimes leaked lines from the secondary to
118 the primary screen.
119 - bugfix: reducing window size while large amounts of text were output
120 could lead to an assertion failure.
121 - added "tabbed" extension that provides a crude tabbed terminal.
122 - added "readline" extension that allows cursor positioning
123 via mouse clicks.
124 - now it is possible to insert the value of the CLIPBOARD selection
125 with shift - mouse button 2.
126 - fixed the automove-background extension to ignore coordinates
127 in non-synthetic events.
128 - created a separate libpty for portable and secure
129 pty/tty/utmp/wtmp/lastlog handling, and include it in rxvt-unicode.
130 - the non-terminfo visual bell now works asynchronously, so
131 continuous ASCI BELs in one terminal do no longer monopolise the
132 whole urxvt[d] process.
133 - support some *BSD makes (for the time being, gnu make is a safe bet).
134 - work around bugs in FreeBSD's gcc.
135 - implemented some *BSD fixes in configure.
136 - removed support for obsolete offix dnd protocol.
137
1387.1 Thu Jan 19 20:25:34 CET 2006
139 - setuid/setgid operation is now _encouraged_: security has been
140 improved by moving privileged operations into a separate process
141 and permanently dropping privileges within the terminal. This
142 makes it possible to remove security checks from the perl code
143 and gives a much safer feeling when urxvt needs to run with
144 special privileges.
145 - perl taint checking disabled, as urxvt no longer runs setuid/setgid
146 itself.
147 - new perl extension automove-background that can be used to get
148 the same effect as pseudo-transparency with any pixmap.
149 - new perl extension example: perl/selection-pastebin, can be used to
150 e.g. upload the selection to a webserver and generate a url, or
151 similar stuff.
152 - use the scrollback buffer even when the scroll region doesn't
153 span the whole screen, as long as it starts at row 0. Helps
154 for programs displaying a status line at the bottom.
155 - selection popup now shows selection in dec/hex/oct.
156 - perl/selection: matching on unicode characters in the selection
157 code was O(n²), which equals infinity in some degenerate cases
158 :-> Matching is now done on UTF-8, which makes it almost instant.
159 - perl/selection, perl/selection-autotransform: regexes are now
160 being interpreted in the locale urxvt was started.
161 - implemented override-redirect option and enabled it on menus,
162 as kwin puts our windows behind the terminal (what a shoddy wm).
163 - fixed struct utmp check in configure for OpenBSD.
164 - complete overhaul of the pty/utmp management stuff and configure
165 (Emanuele Giaquinta).
166 - add tsl/fsl and related capabilities to the terminfo description,
167 to set the window title.
168 - swap the environment in some more cases. This hopefully fixes
169 some segfaults that might be caused by xft asking for env variables
170 at the wrong time.
171 - removed src/strings.C and src/menubar.C. No menubar support
172 anymore.
173 - removed all traces of SMOOTH_REFRESH.
174 - nuked QNX support.
175 - made some fixes to xpm offset and scaling code.
176 - perl-overlays and refresh hooks were not applied in correct order.
177 - changed coordinate-system of view_start/nsaved to be top to bottom.
178 - iom extended to support listening for child exits.
179
1807.0 Fri Jan 13 14:02:18 CET 2006
181 - added sections for DISTRIBUTION MAINTAINERS and about
182 SETUID/SETGID to the FAQ.
183 - selection, searchable-scrollback, selection-popup and
184 option-popup extensions enabled by default.
185 - increased xft drawing speed for problematic fonts. The effect
186 will likely be small as 99% of the xft slowness is server-related.
187 - perl: much increased functionality, better overlays, popup support
188 and much much more.
189 - perl: urxvt::line now can set via ->t and ->r.
190 - perl: changed interpretation of --perl-ext-common and -pe.
191 - perl: finally implemented --perl-eval.
192 - perl: non-blocking anyevent support.
193 - perl: run tainted and ignore perl-eval/perl-lib if started
194 setuid/setgid.
195 - free the resource database: this plugs a massive memory leak. As a
196 side effect, it also gets rid of XGetDefault calls.
197 - free one of the cursors, fixes a small memory leak.
198 - built-in (as opposed to terminfos) visual bell was broken/too fast.
199 - applied minor cleanups by Ladislav Michnovic.
200 - applied pty handling cleanups and improvements (Emanuele Giaquinta).
201 - mark-urls launch-on-click by jepler.
202 - removed "small" resource parsing function, as it wasn't really
203 compatible, and not really small either.
204 - removed PATH_ENV and PATH file search support.
205 - removed support for locale-specific app-defaults file.
206 - fixed a bug where out-of-bounds colour sequences could lead
207 to crashes.
208 - limit colour changing to the standard 88 palette instead of all
209 colours.
210 - XTerm_Color01 sequence returned wrong results in query mode.
211 - iom.C now checks against destructed io_manager when unregistering.
212
2136.3 Wed Jan 4 22:37:10 CET 2006
214 - SECURITY FIX: on systems using openpty, permissions were
215 not correctly updated on the tty device and were left as
216 world-readable and world-writable (likely in original rxvt,
217 too), and were not restored properly. Affected are only
218 systems where non-unix ptys were used (such as most BSDs, not
219 GNU/Linux). (found, patched and debugged by Ryan Beasley).
220 - meta8 support was forcefully enabled in most configurations.
221 restored configurability of this (useless) feature (reported
222 by Mikachu).
223 - optionally embed a perl interpreter, which can be used for more
224 intelligent/customized selection support, visual feedback,
225 menus, tabs etc. See the the urxvtperl manpage, the -pe option,
226 perl*-resources and keysym resources. Not everything is there yet.
227 - try to be more clever about differing font sizes and their ascent.
228 Not guarenteed to work, but works better in most cases now.
229 - fix directory permissions on install.
230 - implemented option to disable built-in line drawing characters
231 and fall back to the font ones (patch by Martin Pohlack).
232 - disabled sched_yield support: the linux version is just too useless
233 (it schedules nice'd processes before the own one for extended
234 periods). Too bad, it could reduce system time by a factor of 5 here.
235
2366.2 Mon Jan 2 16:03:01 CET 2006
237 - implemented intensityStyles option which enables/disables bold/blink
238 selecting high intensity foreground/background colours, suggested by
239 Chuck Blake.
240 - move iso14755 character feedback box out of the way if it would
241 obscure the mouse cursor position.
242 - replaced callback.h by a fixed version from gvpe that correctly
243 returns the callback result (affects new -pty-fd semantics in urxvtc
244 on a few architectures). Reported by darix.
245 - include one trailing space in rectangular selections to indicate
246 the inserted newline (yeah, weird, but visually more pleasing).
247 - try to use sched_yield to (drastically) improve terminal data
248 transfer efficiency.
249 - further minor cleanups.
250
2516.1 Tue Dec 27 13:23:40 CET 2005
252 - update iso8859-7 table (euro and drachma round-trip et al.).
253 - fix a crash when the selection scrolls out of the scrollback
254 while the user still drags.
255 - selections that were partially scrolled out of the window were
256 not drawn correctly.
257 - lines newly scrolled in were not initialized properly, leading
258 to extremely long lines and (hopefully) some segfaults.
259 - iso14755 overlay position was wrong.
260 - iso14755 overlay now displays rendition info, too.
261 - use unicode white space class instead of hardcoded values for
262 stripping whitespace.
263 - do whitespace stripping on rectangular selections.
264 - slight cleanups in src/features.h.
265
2666.0 Sat Dec 24 13:58:56 CET 2005
267 - make it compile without SMART_RESIZE again.
268 - enable slow link support by default.
269 - fix relative cursor-positioning not respecting scrolling regions
270 (also a bug in original rxvt).
271 - initialize termios structure to zero when fetching it fails
272 (see http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=84647 for a
273 partial patch).
274 - bump max columns/rows to 10000 each.
275 - bump max savelines to 10000000.
276 - -pty-fd now passes the urxvtc fd to the urxvtd process.
277 - avoid linking against -lnsl/-lsocket/-lxpg4 unless neccessary.
278 - major code cleanup (still not complete, though).
279 - implement -hold option.
280 - _major_ rewrite of internal buffer handling:
281 - re-flow on resize, lines get wrapped instead of winged.
282 - circular line buffer (substantially speeds up scrolling).
283 - slightly less code + data memory usage per terminal.
284 - slight overall speed improvements.
285 - considerably improved code clarity.
286 - partial-screen scrolls no longer end up in the scrollback
287 buffer.
288
2895.9 Sat Dec 17 21:53:17 CET 2005
290 - fix a bug in the menu code of unknown impact, found by darix.
291 - clean up signal handling to be global, not per terminal
292 (matters only for rxvtd).
293 - fix small typoe in rxvt.1 (found by Mike Fabian).
294 - don't crash when broken xft/fontconfig/freetype versions return
295 bogus data, ignore the xft font instead (experienced on suse).
