2TODO: after requesting the selection and getting a timeout, no further requests will be sent. 2
3TODO: do font request caching, might help rxvtd on some machines 3TODO: init_secondary serves what purpose? maybe move it to earlier startup phase and re-think
4TODO: safer command: keymap processing. 4TODO: xcopyarea pass broken, fix and improve
5TODO: event mechanism that replaces on_keyboard_command with something more scalable.
6TODO: slipwheeling needs a keyboard grab to get key release events.
7TODO: overlays collide with the way the out-of-focus cursor is being drawn
5TODO: "slow" rendering mode for bidi and scripts 8TODO: "slow" rendering mode for bidi and scripts, pango!

16 19
20 - continuously update transparency while moving/resizing now.
21 - scrollbar code cleanups.
22
238.9 Mon Dec 24 07:51:40 CET 2007
24 - fix the issue where urxvtd would not immediately close a window
25 when the command exited but only on the next X event.
26 - changed terminfo file not to use application keypad mode.
27 - fix the issue where making a selection in one urxvtd window
28 would not clear it visually in another.
29 - fix an issue of urxvt not getting background pixmap updates
30 and flickering after bg pixmap changes (reported by Mikachu).
31 - fix redraw bug in xterm scrollbar with -sr (reported by Mikachu).
32 - correctly provide dependencies for libev (µikachu).
33 - minor code reorganisations and cleanups.
34 - be more robust in case the urxvt-popup extension cannot be loaded.
35
368.8 Sat Dec 15 19:40:39 CET 2007
37 - option -C was aliased to all unsupported options, activating
38 options that shouldn't be compiled in, leading to interesting
39 effects.
40 - updated libev, working around a bug in linux 2.4, curing the
41 symptom of urxvt not closing its window on shell exit. also
42 fixes a problem with urxvt not refreshing.
43 - the text blink callback was called even when no blinking
44 text was visible.
45 - pre-8.4 slipwheeling behaviour has been reinstated, with
46 some minor improvements.
47 - streamlined x events processing to only flush once per
48 display and not once per terminal window.
49 - quite a bit of minor code cleanups and codesize optimisations.
50
518.7 Sun Nov 25 10:23:49 CET 2007
52 - update libev with an important bugfix that would cause crashes
53 when closing windows (when using rxvtd, and update is recommended).
54 - do not compile in the block builtin graphics with --disable-frills.
55
568.6 Fri Nov 23 14:10:57 CET 2007
57 - upgrade libev to disable kqueue on anything but netbsd as it
58 seems to be broken everywhere else w.r.t. ptys.
59 - allow for spurious event notifications, as at least epoll and
60 especially solaris ports like to lie about them (symptoms:
61 urxvt "hangs" until there is some x11 related activity).
62 - -keysym command line options are now subjected to xlib parsing.
63 - add 'xrm' option analogous to Xt one.
64
658.5a Wed Nov 21 10:16:33 CET 2007
66 - make it compile with --disable-transparency.
67
688.5 Wed Nov 21 05:19:20 CET 2007
69 - expect major portability issues in this release: please test and report.
70 - converted from the veritable io manager event loop to
71 the high performance libev (http://software.schmorp.de/pkg/libev).
72 - minor tuning to the perl selection (include single words and more quoting chars).
73 - fix memory leak in pixmap code.
74 - fix a serious bug while setting the XIM destroy callback
75 on (typical) 64 bit systems.
76 - automove-background functionality re-implemented internaly using :root op in pixmap
77 geometry string. For example: rxvt -pixmap "image.jpg;:root"
78 - do not link rxvtc against every lib on the planet anymore.
79 - parallel builds should work once more.
80
818.4 Sat Oct 27 14:02:13 CEST 2007
82 - overhaul of the transparency/pixmap code (sasha).
83 - fix possible race betwen visual bell and poweron.
84 (reported by Martin von Gagern, gentoo?).
85 - urxvt -e no longer crashes the child.
86 - fixed some minor memleaks on incorrect usage or
87 missing DISPLAY.
88 - implement xterm 1002/1003 mouse tracking modes (exg).
89 - source code organisational cleanups (exg).
90 - updated io_manager.
91
928.3 Wed Aug 1 20:21:31 CEST 2007
93 - new option: skipScroll/-ss, enabled by default.
94 - go with the times and expect x11 library files in /usr/lib, not
95 /usr/X11R6/lib.
96 - initial transparency improvement/afterimage support
97 patch by Sasha Vasko.
98 - add urgentOnBell resource to set the urgency hint
99 (patch by Philip Paeps).
100 - do not process focus events caused by grabs
101 (patch by Mikachu).
102 - add iso14755_52 resource to disable iso14755 5.2 (exg).
103 - add binding for backspace in iso14755 5.1 to remove the last
104 digit (exg).
105 - better option handling, support more than 30 options (exg).
106 - nuke reconf script, serves no purpose anymore.
107 - fixed and documented matcher/on_user_command processing in matcher
108 extension (tpope).
109 - compile out of the box on Solaris 10 (exg).
110 - fix MappingNotify events (reported by Stephan Walter).
111 - zero-initialise mwmhints, this seems to solve all sorts of minor
112 problems.
113
1148.2 Sat Feb 17 21:35:28 CET 2007
115 - fix make depend in src/, reported by exg.
116 - fixed typo in urxvt::GET_CUSTOM, causing the result to be wrong.
117 (patch by Sergey Vlasov).
118 - unbundled iom perl interface somewhat.
119 - scrollbar-xterm now uses the selected scrollColor instead of fg
120 (found by Aiviru).
121 - disabled linux kernel bug workaround again: disabling it gives
122 a 50% speed hit on affected machines, while enabling it gives
123 a similar speed hit to screen, which is likely the more common
124 case to work around for :/
125 - urxvt::rend2mask perl function, and utilization of it by matcher
126 (patch by Moshe Kamensky).
127 - use perl:matcher on a keysym to open most recently displayed URL.
128 - with matcher, when multiple patterns match, last wins, not first.
129 - fix make and make install with srcdir != builddir (exg).
130 - updated bundled libptytty to fix a bug where the tty would be kept
131 open (see the libptytty ChangeLog for details).
132 - delay setting the IUTF8 flag to after the tty settings have been
133 set so its value does not get lost (reported and analysed by Andrei
134 Paskevich).
135 - rip out support for obsolete sgtty.h interface.
136 - rip out support for non-POSIX termios variants.
137 - update libptytty.
138 - update iom.C, make it call ptytty::sanitise_stdfd on init.
139 - when !XFT, change rounding of colours to use a less correct formula to
140 meet user expectancies (#aaa becomes #a000a000a000 not #9f9f9f9f9f9f).
141 - change the starting offset of the pixmap set with backgroundPixmap
142 from (50,50) to (0,0) (exg).
143 - fix a typo in button_release, now meta-button2 request the value of
144 the Clipboard selection as it should (patch by Serge Koksharov).
145 - fix a bug in drawing a cell with a nonspacing char when using an xft
146 font with inheritPixmap and tintColor (exg).
147
1488.1 Thu Dec 7 22:27:25 CET 2006
149 - ケリスマスプレゼント - zomg!!1, it's too early!!!
150 - fix the assumption that chars < 256 are single-width. Now
151 only assume this for codepoints 32 to 126 (reported by Dai.H.).
152 - $term->strwidth returned wide chars as width 1, because some jerk
153 confused min and max. Fixing this also fixes xim-onthespot.
154 Reported by Takano Akio.
155 - secondaryScroll is now enabled by default (as per the manpage),
156 reported by exg.
157 - correct the description of [percent]color rgba format in the manpage.
158 - incorporated macosx-clipboard extension by Samuel Ljungkvist.
159 - ignore (some) useless focus events (reported by mmc).
160 - updated compose table to unicode 5.0.0.
161
1628.0 Thu Nov 2 18:35:19 CET 2006
163 - combining characters cleared the area instead of creating an overlay,
164 thus losing the ability to draw combining characters properly in most
165 circumstances (reported by exg).
166 - specified fonts were incorrectly morphed to bold/italic according to the
167 basefont, even if explicitly specified (tracked down by tpope).
168 - fixed urxvt::strwidth to calculate width in the same way as screen.C.
169 - fix a crash caused by passing negative widths to overlay functions.
170 - added 'matcher' extension by tpope, replacing the mark-urls extension.
171 - improve url regex to match anything www.* (tpope).
172 - fixed bug with outline cursor color being wrong after xft fonts.
173 - update to libptytty-1.0.
174 - give proper diagnostic when RXVT_SOCKET is too long instead of
175 corrupting the stack (patch by exg).
176 - display current terminal locale in option menu.
177 - urxvtd no longer crashes when the client sends an inaccessible
178 working directory (reported by Roland Baer, possibly fixes gentoo
179 bug #143985).
180 - fixed many minor issues reported by Roland Baer.
181 - Leonid Khramov spotted a minor glitch in rxvtfont.C that
182 should not have any consequences, but was buggy nonetheless.
183 - manpage fix by exg.
184
1857.9 Mon Aug 7 18:16:07 CEST 2006
186 - fix the crashing bug people encountered with 7.8 + urxvtd + perl
187 + transparency. Ought to fix debian bug #380348.
188 - fix urxvtc.1.pod: it actually claimed -pty-fd would not work. But
189 it does! :->
190 - rxvt_fatal() in case the locale string is too long for our static buffer.
191 - fixed many, many, typos in the manpages (patch supplied by ves).
192
1937.8 Mon Jul 17 21:00:46 CEST 2006
194 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: this version will always read ~/.Xdefaults,
195 earlier versions only read it if display-resources (usually from
196 .Xresources) are not set. This avoids the #1 FAQ ("why isn't my
197 resource used") and seems to be logical behaviour, too. .Xdefaults
198 resources have a lower priority than display-specific resources.
199 - add "kuake" perl extension that does a similar thing to the kuake
200 terminal emulator (see man urxtvperl).
201 - use less "correct" color scaling that is compatible with libX11 and
202 Xft (avoids off-by-one colors resulting in striped backgrounds).
203 - the "depth" resource is now respected.
204 - preset the searchable-scrollback pattern with "(?i)" to default search
205 to case-insensitivity. Will automatically be cleared when typing an
206 uppercase character.
207 - add FORCE_UNBUFFERED_XFT define to features.h.
208 - re-enabled highlightcolor support with --enable-frills, based on
209 a patch by Martin Stubenschrott.
210 - double-buffered xft drawing did suffer from pixel offset issues
211 when pixmap transparency was enabled.
212 - strategically add # to the url-match regexes, as we really want to
213 match common URIs not common URLs. Reported by Aaron Griffin.
214 - moved on_osc_seq to on_osc_seq_perl and added a more
215 generic osc_seq.
216 - fix a bug causing double callback invocations when perl hooks
217 were invoked recursively.
218 - the automove-background extension now properly works when the
219 pixmap gets reset with an osc sequence (sqweek).
220 - selection-pastebin did not work properly with non-latin1-characters.
221 - apply colorUL only when the text colour is the default fg
222 (patch by Wu Fengguang).
223 - removed rxvtlib.h from the tarball, it had no reason to be there
224 (spotted by Decklin Foster).
225 - fix compiling with TRANSPARENT but !XPM_BACKGROUND, as reported
226 by omatunto_.
227 - slap in a using namespace std, might help on platforms that don't
228 follow C++ closely enough.
229 - fix mailto url regex, spotted within milliseconds by Jost Krieger.
230 - applied fade_color_update_func.patch by WU Fengguang.
231 - fix a bug where (due to an optimisation in av_delete), hiding the
232 bottom-most overlay would hide two overlays.
233
2347.7 Tue Feb 21 12:32:49 CET 2006
235 - use double-buffered drawing (xft fonts only). On many driver/hardware
236 combination this actually increases xft drawing speed, at the expense
237 of more network bandwidth and slight nausea on the side of the author.
238 - readline perl extension now requires shift-click instead of a normal
239 click, and eats the click.
240 - tabbed perl extension now supports -e.
241 - disabled graphics-exposures on the main drawing GC, report any
242 refresh bugs please.
243 - improve property handling for -pe tabbed: avoid unnecessary property
244 changes (for kde's benefit) at the expense of extra round-trips,
245 improve size hint setting.
246 - modified XIM according to a patch sent by Takano Akio that sets
247 the preedit rectangle for OverTheSpot, which helps some input methods
248 to correctly position their preedit window.
249 - un-optimise the line clearing on newly scrolled-in lines a bit: the
250 former reasoning was that any fg colour on default bg looks the same
251 in empty spaces, but thats not true when reversing (e.g. selection),
252 so also check for matching fg colours. This fixes the problem where
253 selecting newly scrolled-in lines would exhibit wrong colours.
254 - fix a bug in the perl interface causing focus in events to generate
255 focus out perl events, causing bad focus effects with -pe tabbed.
256 - fix a race resulting in a crash on exiting.
257 - fix a with --disable-xft that caused xfreecolors to be called on
258 colors never allocated, resulting in aborts (reported by Paco-Paco).
259 - resources on non-initial screens weren't refetched correctly
260 (reported by Paco-Paco).
261 - fix a bug in xcopyarea pass and _disable_ it, as it seems not to be
262 working in either rxvt-unicode nor in the original rxvt.
263 - removed undocumented -exec alias for the -e option.
264
2657.6 Fri Feb 10 08:52:36 CET 2006
266 - changed interpretation of [alpha] colour prefix.
267 - +option now really sets the option to default, instead of using the
268 resource value.
269 - options that require an argument now really _require_ an argument.
270 - the tabbed extension now forwards focus and keys events to th
271 relevant tab window.
272 - tab colours are now configurable and have sensible defaults
273 (initial patch by hednod).
274 - option menu is extendable, readline, selection and
275 selection-autotransform can now be disabled/enabled at runtime.
276 - forcing a configure event to tabbed subwindows with -pe tabbed, for
277 the benefit of automove-background.
278 - the automove-background extension added a wrong constant offset.
279 - force refresh of XA_RESOURCE_STRING on virtual reconnect.
280 - return exit status 2 in urxvtc when urxvtd couldn't be contacted.
281 - the linux yield hack is back, now using usleep, and enabled only on
282 __linux__.
283 - further round trip eliminations in the !XFT case by remembering
284 the colour components.
285 - plain scrollbar works better with -sr.
286 - fixed half-shadow scrollbar look.
287 - more colour rtt optimisations.
288 - properly(?) free colours on window close.
289 - reorganised the FAQ into multiple sections.
290 - add ISO646.1991-IRV to the list of supported codesets.
291 - minor libptytty update.
292
2937.5 Tue Jan 31 15:15:43 CET 2006
294 - further improvements to the careful mode detection, and font width
295 detection:
296 - fully double-wide fonts will now be correctly treated,
297 - overlap detection was improved.
298 - detect totally broken fonts (usually synthesized by xft).
299 - careful mode forced refresh sometimes clashed with blinking,
300 causing unnecessary screen redraws.
301 - better handling of XFT combining characters.
302 - enable antialiasing for some replacement fonts, as they
303 might get used for other encodings which really need it, later.
304 - remove spacing=100 from all default fonts, as this creates totally
305 weird spacing (5 times normal) with xft.
306 - removed iso10646 fallback, as xorgs iso10646 encoded fonts are mostly
307 broken.
308 - removed gnu unifont fallback, all combining characters are broken.
309 - replace named colours by xorg's rgb.txt equivalents, to
310 reduce round trip time on startup, and short-cut allocation
311 of rgb:rr/gg/bb for xft.
312 - short-cut allocation of rgb values in the xlib case
313 (patch by Paco-Paco).
314 - overhauled color management: smaller codesize, alpha support.
315 - support "rgba:rrrr/gggg/bbbb/aaaa" color specifications and
316 an "[alpha]" prefix.
317 - try to work around Xft and Xrender forcing everything to be 100%
318 transparent. Long Live Xft!
319 - do not include X11/Intrinsic.h anymore, directly use
320 Xlib/Xutil/Xresource directly.
321 - try to find a nearest matching color when color allocation fails
322 on a pseudocolor screen.
323 - SYNCCVS: compared to rxvt-cvs 2006-01-28, no relevant changes.
324 - fix version report (DA) (which was unfortunately broken).
325 - changed version number report again, now to emulate xterm closer.
326 - added the OSC sequence 702 to detect the urxvt version number.
327 - small configure updates.
328 - further RTT optimisations.
329 - backported clean-up patches for makefiles and documentation from
330 the debian package.
331 - updated doc/rxvt-unicode.spec file. It's still not maintained here,
332 but much newer than the old one.
333
3347.4 Sat Jan 28 15:26:27 CET 2006
335 - screen background wasn't always erased properly when scrolling,
336 - re-enabled clearing optimisation disabled in 7.4pre.
337 - small configure updates for libptytty.
338 - fixed version options: line output.
339 - removed stoopid debugging message left in the code.
340
3417.3 Wed Jan 25 22:47:35 CET 2006
342 - don't let iso14755 or mouse reporting get into the way of perl
343 (could lead to global grabs never being cleared).
344 - experimental OnTheSpot editing support (-pe xim-onthespot).
345 - moved Shift-Button2 paste combination to Meta-Button2.
346 - the cutchars resource will now be respected and used by the
347 selection extension.
348 - added the "remote-clipboard" extension which just runs external
349 commands to fetch and store the selection data.
350 - added -depth switch that tries to get a different visual depth
351 than the default (replaces the old PREFER_24_BIT logic).
352 - removed (unused) arabic presentation form composing sequences.
353 - be more strict when deciding that a core font glyph is too wide and
354 needs the careful rendering mode.
355 - allow more leeway for italic fonts when deciding that a character is
356 too wide and needs careful mode.
357 - redraw even more characters around characters using careful mode.
358 - made selection-pastebin fully asynchronous.
359 - reduced number of server turnarounds at startup by allocating
360 atoms only once per display.
361 - renamed on_keyboard_command to on_user_command.
362 - changed version sos (ESC [ > c) response to be more compatible with
363 xterm.
364
3657.2 Sun Jan 22 21:58:16 CET 2006
366 - bugfix: urxvt (not urxvtd) did not correctly handle multiple
367 environments necessary, which resulted in segfaults within
368 getenv (reproducable: urxvt -fn 9x15, open a menu once,
369 ctrl-shift-672c).
370 - bugfix: the selection speedup in in 7.1 unfortunately caused
371 non-ascii characters to enlarge/move the selection.
372 - bugfix: resizing sometimes leaked lines from the secondary to
373 the primary screen.
374 - bugfix: reducing window size while large amounts of text were output
375 could lead to an assertion failure.
376 - added "tabbed" extension that provides a crude tabbed terminal.
377 - added "readline" extension that allows cursor positioning
378 via mouse clicks.
379 - now it is possible to insert the value of the CLIPBOARD selection
380 with shift - mouse button 2.
381 - fixed the automove-background extension to ignore coordinates
382 in non-synthetic events.
383 - created a separate libpty for portable and secure
384 pty/tty/utmp/wtmp/lastlog handling, and include it in rxvt-unicode.
385 - the non-terminfo visual bell now works asynchronously, so
386 continuous ASCI BELs in one terminal do no longer monopolise the
387 whole urxvt[d] process.
388 - support some *BSD makes (for the time being, gnu make is a safe bet).
389 - work around bugs in FreeBSD's gcc.
390 - implemented some *BSD fixes in configure.
391 - removed support for obsolete offix dnd protocol.
392
3937.1 Thu Jan 19 20:25:34 CET 2006
394 - setuid/setgid operation is now _encouraged_: security has been
395 improved by moving privileged operations into a separate process
396 and permanently dropping privileges within the terminal. This
397 makes it possible to remove security checks from the perl code
398 and gives a much safer feeling when urxvt needs to run with
399 special privileges.
400 - perl taint checking disabled, as urxvt no longer runs setuid/setgid
401 itself.
402 - new perl extension automove-background that can be used to get
403 the same effect as pseudo-transparency with any pixmap.
404 - new perl extension example: perl/selection-pastebin, can be used to
405 e.g. upload the selection to a webserver and generate a url, or
406 similar stuff.
407 - use the scrollback buffer even when the scroll region doesn't
408 span the whole screen, as long as it starts at row 0. Helps
409 for programs displaying a status line at the bottom.
410 - selection popup now shows selection in dec/hex/oct.
411 - perl/selection: matching on unicode characters in the selection
412 code was O(n²), which equals infinity in some degenerate cases
413 :-> Matching is now done on UTF-8, which makes it almost instant.
414 - perl/selection, perl/selection-autotransform: regexes are now
415 being interpreted in the locale urxvt was started.
416 - implemented override-redirect option and enabled it on menus,
417 as kwin puts our windows behind the terminal (what a shoddy wm).
418 - fixed struct utmp check in configure for OpenBSD.
419 - complete overhaul of the pty/utmp management stuff and configure
420 (Emanuele Giaquinta).
421 - add tsl/fsl and related capabilities to the terminfo description,
422 to set the window title.
423 - swap the environment in some more cases. This hopefully fixes
424 some segfaults that might be caused by xft asking for env variables
425 at the wrong time.
426 - removed src/strings.C and src/menubar.C. No menubar support
427 anymore.
428 - removed all traces of SMOOTH_REFRESH.
429 - nuked QNX support.
430 - made some fixes to xpm offset and scaling code.
431 - perl-overlays and refresh hooks were not applied in correct order.
432 - changed coordinate-system of view_start/nsaved to be top to bottom.
433 - iom extended to support listening for child exits.
434
4357.0 Fri Jan 13 14:02:18 CET 2006
436 - added sections for DISTRIBUTION MAINTAINERS and about
437 SETUID/SETGID to the FAQ.
438 - selection, searchable-scrollback, selection-popup and
439 option-popup extensions enabled by default.
440 - increased xft drawing speed for problematic fonts. The effect
441 will likely be small as 99% of the xft slowness is server-related.
442 - perl: much increased functionality, better overlays, popup support
443 and much much more.
444 - perl: urxvt::line now can set via ->t and ->r.
445 - perl: changed interpretation of --perl-ext-common and -pe.
446 - perl: finally implemented --perl-eval.
447 - perl: non-blocking anyevent support.
448 - perl: run tainted and ignore perl-eval/perl-lib if started
449 setuid/setgid.
450 - free the resource database: this plugs a massive memory leak. As a
451 side effect, it also gets rid of XGetDefault calls.
452 - free one of the cursors, fixes a small memory leak.
453 - built-in (as opposed to terminfos) visual bell was broken/too fast.
454 - applied minor cleanups by Ladislav Michnovic.
455 - applied pty handling cleanups and improvements (Emanuele Giaquinta).
456 - mark-urls launch-on-click by jepler.
457 - removed "small" resource parsing function, as it wasn't really
458 compatible, and not really small either.
459 - removed PATH_ENV and PATH file search support.
460 - removed support for locale-specific app-defaults file.
461 - fixed a bug where out-of-bounds colour sequences could lead
462 to crashes.
463 - limit colour changing to the standard 88 palette instead of all
464 colours.
465 - XTerm_Color01 sequence returned wrong results in query mode.
466 - iom.C now checks against destructed io_manager when unregistering.
467
4686.3 Wed Jan 4 22:37:10 CET 2006
469 - SECURITY FIX: on systems using openpty, permissions were
470 not correctly updated on the tty device and were left as
471 world-readable and world-writable (likely in original rxvt,
472 too), and were not restored properly. Affected are only
473 systems where non-unix ptys were used (such as most BSDs, not
474 GNU/Linux). (found, patched and debugged by Ryan Beasley).
475 - meta8 support was forcefully enabled in most configurations.
476 restored configurability of this (useless) feature (reported
477 by Mikachu).
478 - optionally embed a perl interpreter, which can be used for more
479 intelligent/customized selection support, visual feedback,
480 menus, tabs etc. See the the urxvtperl manpage, the -pe option,
481 perl*-resources and keysym resources. Not everything is there yet.
482 - try to be more clever about differing font sizes and their ascent.
483 Not guarenteed to work, but works better in most cases now.
484 - fix directory permissions on install.
485 - implemented option to disable built-in line drawing characters
486 and fall back to the font ones (patch by Martin Pohlack).
487 - disabled sched_yield support: the linux version is just too useless
488 (it schedules nice'd processes before the own one for extended
489 periods). Too bad, it could reduce system time by a factor of 5 here.
490
4916.2 Mon Jan 2 16:03:01 CET 2006
492 - implemented intensityStyles option which enables/disables bold/blink
493 selecting high intensity foreground/background colours, suggested by
494 Chuck Blake.
495 - move iso14755 character feedback box out of the way if it would
496 obscure the mouse cursor position.
497 - replaced callback.h by a fixed version from gvpe that correctly
498 returns the callback result (affects new -pty-fd semantics in urxvtc
499 on a few architectures). Reported by darix.
500 - include one trailing space in rectangular selections to indicate
501 the inserted newline (yeah, weird, but visually more pleasing).
502 - try to use sched_yield to (drastically) improve terminal data
503 transfer efficiency.
504 - further minor cleanups.
505
5066.1 Tue Dec 27 13:23:40 CET 2005
507 - update iso8859-7 table (euro and drachma round-trip et al.).
508 - fix a crash when the selection scrolls out of the scrollback
509 while the user still drags.
510 - selections that were partially scrolled out of the window were
511 not drawn correctly.
512 - lines newly scrolled in were not initialized properly, leading
513 to extremely long lines and (hopefully) some segfaults.
514 - iso14755 overlay position was wrong.
515 - iso14755 overlay now displays rendition info, too.
516 - use unicode white space class instead of hardcoded values for
517 stripping whitespace.
518 - do whitespace stripping on rectangular selections.
519 - slight cleanups in src/features.h.
520
5216.0 Sat Dec 24 13:58:56 CET 2005
522 - make it compile without SMART_RESIZE again.
523 - enable slow link support by default.
524 - fix relative cursor-positioning not respecting scrolling regions
525 (also a bug in original rxvt).
526 - initialize termios structure to zero when fetching it fails
527 (see http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=84647 for a
528 partial patch).
529 - bump max columns/rows to 10000 each.
530 - bump max savelines to 10000000.
531 - -pty-fd now passes the urxvtc fd to the urxvtd process.
532 - avoid linking against -lnsl/-lsocket/-lxpg4 unless neccessary.
533 - major code cleanup (still not complete, though).
534 - implement -hold option.
535 - _major_ rewrite of internal buffer handling:
536 - re-flow on resize, lines get wrapped instead of winged.
537 - circular line buffer (substantially speeds up scrolling).
538 - slightly less code + data memory usage per terminal.
539 - slight overall speed improvements.
540 - considerably improved code clarity.
541 - partial-screen scrolls no longer end up in the scrollback
542 buffer.
543
