12 23
136.1 24 - fix height mismatch between active and inactive cursor when
25 lineSpace is non zero (patch by Stanislav Seletskiy).
26
279.15 Sat Jan 21 13:36:56 CET 2012
28 - remove "using namespace std" because clang erroneously
29 thinks thats an error.
30 - finding a matching font (e.g. bold version of the base font)
31 was broken (reported by Eamon Walker).
32 - fix parsing of bg image styles. They really work now.
33 - fix blurring of bg image borders when using xrender.
34 - fix xrender blur on common xrender implementations that do
35 not behave correctly when the same pixmap is used as source
36 and destination in composite operations.
37 - fix regression that caused tabbed to compute the wrong size
38 for tabs.
39 - allow again an empty suffix in a keysym list spec (patch by
40 Sung Pae).
41 - unsupported support for sun studio's CC added.
42 - fix -C option on solaris.
43
449.14 Wed Dec 21 18:40:33 CET 2011
45 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: the urxvtd default socket path is now
46 $HOME/.urxvt/urxvtd-<nodename>.
47 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: the "list" keysym expansion now requires
48 loading of the "keysym-list" perl extension.
49 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: A scale value of 0 in the bg image
50 geometry no longer enables tiling, so as to make it possible
51 to disable both scaling and tiling.
52 - overhaul of the bg image operations. The old operations have
53 been deprecated in favour of elementary operations and
54 styles built on top of the new operations and scale/position
55 settings. (Emanuele Giaquinta).
56 - support for libafterimage is deprecated and will be removed
57 in the next release.
58 - fix a crash caused by selection_check not properly resetting
59 out-of-bounds mark values (can happen when extending a selection
60 while scrolling up in curses programs for example).
61 - do not move the selection when scrolling up and the selection is
62 outside the scrolling region (Emanuele Giaquinta).
63 - fix display of bold bright black (reported by Ben Winslow).
64 - fix memory leak when urgentOnBell is set (patch by Nathaniel
65 Filardo).
66 - fix a redraw bug that occurs when a bg pixmap is set and the
67 wm does not honour the size hints set by urxvt. Now urxvt
68 forces the size of the terminal window to be a multiple of
69 the cell size.
70 - sanitise the argument of SD / SU sequences. Fixes a possible
71 crash when the argument is big enough, red hat bug #711137
72 (Emanuele Giaquinta).
73 - correctly split long lines when scrolling.
74 - urxvt now looks for perl extensions also in $HOME/.urxvt/ext.
75 - add bell-command perl extension to execute a command when a
76 bell event occurs (Ryan Kavanagh).
77 - add set_urgency perl binding to set/reset the urgency hint.
78 - consume button release event in matcher (exg).
79 - keyboard accessible list of recent matches in matcher
80 (Bob Farrell).
81 - properly process 'keysym' sequences in tabbed when using
82 'focus follows mouse' and the focus is on the main window
83 but not on the active terminal window (patch by Martin
84 Pohlack).
85 - support for the freedesktop startup-notification protocol (patch by
86 Michael Stapelberg).
87 - the direction of VPR and VPB commands was reversed.
88 - fix alignment of inherited root pixmap when it is a different size
89 than the root window and the terminal window is off the left or top
90 edge (Mikachu).
91 - make $self visible in "eval perl expression" popup action, also
92 handle exceptions better.
93 - fix parsing of '-e' when it occurs as an option argument, such as in
94 'urxvt -title -e' (Emanuele Giaquinta).
95
969.12 Wed Jun 29 14:34:28 CEST 2011
97 - fix regression in processing of SelectionNotify events.
98 urxvt would fail to request a selection if the owner did not
99 support the UTF8_STRING target.
100 - fix rendering of double width chars in certain circumstances, more
101 likely to happen if urxvt is compiled with 256 colors support as
102 urxvt runs out of fonts much earlier then. Fixes gentoo bug #358151
103 (Emanuele Giaquinta).
104 - restore support for 'list' syntax in keysym resources (requested by Sung Pae).
105 - always premultiply colour values - while this increases differences between
106 core fonts and xft, it is "more correct" in practical situations.
107 - disable PTYTTY_REENTRANT option - not needed for urxvt and saves a bit of code.
108 - remove lucidatypewriter from the list of fallback fonts, it was the only
109 non-xft non-cellfont in the list anyway.
110
1119.11 Mon May 2 10:34:46 CEST 2011
112 - fix compilation on GNU/Hurd, debian bug #624736.
113 - remove 'list' syntax for keysym resources, as it serves no useful purpose.
114 If you need it, poke us and provide a use case.
115 - fix alpha channel support. Premultiply alpha in colours if the visual
116 supports an alpha channel, as xrender expects premultiplied alpha
117 (Emanuele Giaquinta).
118 - fix reply to a selection request sent by an obsolete client
119 such as syncterm (patch by Marcin Cieslak).
120 - fix crash when the window is resized and the overlay is active
121 (Emanuele Giaquinta, reported by Ryan Kavanagh).
122 - match character-wise rather than byte-wise in selection
123 extension again. perl 5.8.9+ is required to avoid extreme
124 slowdowns. Fixes debian bugs #523072, #616463.
125 - fix a possible crash if the INCR transfer process for a
126 selection property timeouts and at least one chunk is
127 received. (Emanuele Giaquinta)
128 - work around a memory corruption bug in xorg's XrmSetDatabase (apparently
129 broken since http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/xorg-commit-diffs/2004-March/000239.html).
130 - fix memory corruption bug when custom command sequences bound to keys
131 were injected into an already-full pty input buffer.
132 - gdk-pixbuf is autodetected by default and preferred over libafterimage.
133 - do not prepend a newline to the selection text when the starting line
134 of the selection is not highlighted (Emanuele Giaquinta).
135 - don't swap perl env with real env, save and restore it, just in case
136 we ever get recursive perl invocations. also saves a bit of codespace
137 with gcc.
138 - fix various memory leaks (Emanuele Giaquinta).
139 - fix typo in kIC terminfo capability, debian bug #446444.
140 - document 'thickness' resource.
141 - fix debian bug #504817, to the extent possible.
142 - try to detect byte order at compile time, saves a couple of
143 hundred bytes, if your compiler is smart enough.
144 - add support for previewing the pasted data in confirm-paste
145 (Emanuele Giaquinta).
146 - added "newlines to spaces" option in selection-popup.
147 - actually enabled solaris event ports backend (was disabled by accident).
148 - revert to 38400 baud max., mission accomplished.
149 - no longer create scary "pty_fill: PLEASE REPORT" message, instead,
150 silently drain the input (problem is well understood now).
151 - no longer swallow rob nation's own graphics mode commands.
152
1539.10 Mon Dec 13 17:43:52 CET 2010
154 - the "schmorp=north korea dickey=south korea" release.
155 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: make OSC 20 simpler and more correct
156 (Emanuele Giaquinta).
157 - if options were compiled out, this could lead to the option
158 count to be defined wrongly. This is likely behind the
159 failures with gcc 4.5.
160 - explicitly depend on fontconfig and xrender when xft support
161 is enabled. Although the public Xft api uses types from
162 both, in Xft 2.2.0 these libs are private
163 dependencies only thanks to an idiotic behaviour of
164 pkg-config that was added to workaround cases like this one.
165 Fixes linking when using GNU ld with --as-needed or GNU gold
166 (based on patch by Jan Palus).
167 - fix minor memory leaks in urxvt and urxvtd.
168 - fix regression in urxvtd that prevented options from being correctly
169 set (reported by Michal Vaner).
170 - implement xterm's horribly broken 1005 mouse reporting mode,
171 and an alternative 1015 mode that works in non-utf-8 locales
172 and has fewer limitations.
173 - fix a possible bug where mouse notifications didn't work after
174 startup for the upper left corner.
175 - implement our own pixbuf to pixmap rendering to get rid of
176 dependency on buggy gdk-pixbuf-xlib. Only truecolor visuals
177 are supported (Emanuele Giaquinta).
178 - apply tinting before shading when both operations are requested.
179 Previously they were intermixed when lightening and the result
180 was inaccurate and confusing. Note that now a black tint yields a
181 completely black image, regardless of shading (Emanuele Giaquinta).
182 - avoid spurious redraws of the bg image when bg is transparent or
183 when using 'root' mode (Emanuele Giaquinta).
184 - fix build on XFree86.
185 - dynamically number options according to compiletime requirements.
186 For the extra saved byte. Or so. Yay.
187 - start options at one, not zero. Wastes a bit per terminal. Maybe.
188 saves 50 instruction bytes. Possibly.
189
1909.09 Sat Nov 13 01:39:07 CET 2010
191 - NOTICE: this release updates terminfo/termcap.
192 - the bestest release ever.
193 - it was verified that urxvt handles µ and μ correctly.
194 - add support for blending and blurring with XRender (Emanuele Giaquinta).

196 - cleanup and minor fixes of the image code (Emanuele Giaquinta).
197 - new perl extension "confirm-paste" (Emanuele Giaquinta).
198 - new on_tt_paste perl hook and tt_paste perl binding (Emanuele Giaquinta).
199 - new on_bell perl hook (Emanuele Giaquinta).
200 - searchable-scrollback no longer ignores the first line
201 (Emanuele Giaquinta).
202 - properly set VSTATUS in termios for *BSD (reported by Ed Schouten).
203 - fix utmpx detection on upcoming FreeBSD 9.
204 - Use COMPOUND_TEXT encoding for WM_NAME/WM_ICON_NAME value when it
205 is not fully convertible to STRING (patch by James Cloos).
206 - fix a buffer overflow that would cause wrong key sequences to
207 be generated for numpad keys (introduced in 9.05).
208 - fix definition of sgr0 to work around limitations in luit.
209 - extend ISO 14755 5.4 mode to also print the font name of the
210 characters other than first one in the selected cell
211 (Emanuele Giaquinta).
212 - new iso14755 option to disable ISO 14755 at runtime
213 (Emanuele Giaquinta).
214 - make sure pagewise scrolling scrolls at least one line
215 (found by Mikachu).
216 - remove deprecated OSC 18 / 19 and make OSC 17 / 19 apply to
217 highlightColor / highlightTextColor (Emanuele Giaquinta).
218 - add highlightTextColor resource to change the foreground colour of
219 highlighted characters (Emanuele Giaquinta).
220 - make highlightColor apply also to selected cells with reverse video
221 but not to non selected cells with reverse video (Emanuele Giaquinta).
222 - remove colorRV resource (it was enabled only with frills off).
223 - fix numlock handling, the most longstanding bug to date (Emanuele Giaquinta).
224 - reduce the number of custom bits to 4, to make room
225 for 256 colours.
226 - add support for 256 colors (Emanuele Giaquinta, Marc Lehmann).
227 - add rxvt-unicode-256color terminfo and use it by default in 256 colors mode.
228 - update rxvt-unicode terminfo to state 7744 colour pairs to cover all
229 88*88 possible pairs.
230 - actually added macosx-clipboard-native, which should have been in
231 the 9.07 release but had been forgotten.
232 - fix hang if DECAWM is not set and there are not enough columns to insert a
233 character (Emanuele Giaquinta).
234 - cub1 ("backspace") will now respect wrapping when past the rightmost column,
235 working around a shortcoming of most tty line discipline's line editing.
236 - add support for grabbing the clipboard selection and extend
237 selection{_clear,_grab,} perl bindings to optionally work
238 on the clipboard selection (based on patch by Dana Jansens).
239 - no longer force CERASE to BACKSPACE - use the system default. affects
240 default value for VERASE only when no compatible setting for
241 backspacekey was given.
242 - use higher than 38400 baudrate setting, if detected.
243 - erase screen would clear to the wrong background when blinking
244 was enabled (which selects high intensity under some circumstances).
245 - scr_kill_char didn't touch the line.
246 - upgrade and port to libev-4.01.
247 - enabled solaris event ports and kqueue backends (if available).
248
2499.07 Wed Dec 30 07:07:18 CET 2009
250 - port to glibc-2.10 changes (strchr etc. returning const char *
251 in C++), based on patches by Milos Jakubicek and Oliver Mader.
252 - the binary search algorithm to find precomposed characters
253 was faulty, skipping some possible combinations (found by
254 Mikachu).
255 - new -letterspace option, patch by Mark H. Wilkinson.
256 - enable --mlock option for urxvt with frills on
257 systems supporting it (patch by Russell Harmon).
258 - urxvt did not compile without frills enabled
259 (analysed by Matthew Rosewarne).
260 - correctly reset the mbstate after an illegal
261 input sequence when handling terminal output (Emanuele Giaquinta).
262 - avoid redrawing wide characters with combining enabled on every
263 refresh (reported by Mikachu).
264 - fix a typo preventing the ISO-646.1991 character set from being
265 recognized (http://achurch.org/patch-pile/).
266 - better warning for x11 font encoding detection failures, also,
267 try to deduce encoding from both font properties and name
268 (adapted from http://achurch.org/patch-pile/).
269 - resizing the window with the scrollbar disabled via the escapes
270 sequence could make the window bigger again (Mikachu).
271 - make sure the alignment for fd passing control messages
272 is correct and work around some NetBSD issues (Taylor R Campbell).
273 - update to libptytty 1.3.
274 - replace macosx-clipboard by a nicer version by Reza Jelveh, and move
275 the old version to macosx-clipboard-native.
276 - document the -uc option (Emanuele Giaquinta).
277 - assertions in libev are now enabled depending on frills.
278 - update AnyEvent implementation to version 5.23 API.
279 - work around arrogant bsd idiocies again: netbsd spills the default
280 namespace with lots of symbols "for gnu/gcc compatibility" even
281 though neither of them does it, and then calls the rest of the world
282 in need of fixing. go figure.
283 - on_keyboard_command is on_user_command (patch by Michael Witten).
284 - setting the selection from perl will now reset the selection screen
285 to the current screen. the screen can be manipulated using
286 the new ->selection_screen method.
287 - implement --enable-assert configure option and get rid of DEBUG_STRICT
288 (based on patch by Emanuele Giaquinta).
289 - fix printpipe data output (patch by Emanuele Giaquinta).
290 - allow `xxx' quoting style for perl selection.
291 - upgrade to libev-3.9 prerelease.

293
2949.06 Sat Nov 8 17:47:18 CET 2008
295 - NOTICE: this release updates terminfo/termcap.
296 - updates libev to 3.48.
297 - the aterm code now frees the as visual and image manager objects
298 when a window was closed.
299 - do not (wrongly) adjust the virtual line length inside
300 scr_insdel_chars/ERASE (Miroslav Lichvar).
301 - fix an issue where wide tab characters caused character shifts
302 when part of them was deleted (tracked down by Miroslav Lichvar).
303 - artificially enlargen the previous character at the end of a line
304 when trying to output a character that doesn't fit. looks ugly, but
305 makes copy&paste work.
306 - remove bogus "setuid/setgid security issues" from rxvt.1.pod, they
307 no longer apply.
308 - the urgency hint is now cleared on both focus in and focus out.
309 - cache urgency hint locally to avoid server rtt on every focus change.
310 - perl 5.10 needs PERL_SYS_INIT3 on hppa.
311 - ignore byte-order marks and do not treat them like combining characters.
312 - fix build issue when CURSOR_BLINK is not defined (Emanuele Giaquinta).
313 - do some µ-optimisations to the character fast path.
314 - use a less cunning, but more robust algorithm to avoid one terminal
315 monopolising the whole process by outputting a lot of text.
316 - try to work around linux first breaking sched_yield and now breaking
317 the only known workaround.
318 - new option -icon to set _NET_WM_ICON (based on patch by Frank Schmitt).
319 - initialise the as visual only on demand, instead of unconditionally,
320 to save memory in the common case of not using visual gimmicks.
321 - try to work around bugs in a few wm's that erroneously resize
322 client windows on hint property updates by temporarily
323 disabling size hints.
324 - implement the DECSTR soft reset sequence and use it for tput init,
325 and make hard RIS and DECSTR both reset more private modes, such
326 as mouse reporting.
327 - redundantly clear mouse reporting and a few other states in
328 tput init/tput reset, for older urxvts.
329 - partial/full clear screens did cause flickering and possibly pixel
330 droppings when urxvt viewed the scrollback buffer.
331 - use current rendition style in DCH sequence.
332 - the 132/80 mode switch no longer forces a screen reset.
333 - add an osc sequence to change the border colour (Emanuele Giaquinta).
334 - new perl extension "overlay-osc", for status displays and the like.
335 - fix some minor cursor drawing issues with overlays by allowing
336 overlays to modify screen flags (to disable the cursor themselves).
337 - work around programs not restoring rstyle before rmcup
338 (analysed by Miroslav Lichvar).
339
3409.05 Sun Jun 15 20:09:20 CEST 2008
341 - new option --cd/chdir to set the starting working directory.
342 - tabbed extension now starts in the "correct" working directory.
343 - work around fedora 9 providing isastream but not the relevant
344 header file for it (report by Tuncer Ayaz).
345 - upgrade libev, fixing a bug in the select backend.
346 with more than 31 file descriptors on non-linux 64 bit systems.
347 - correctly reset the multibyte state to the initial one
348 after EILSEQ (patch by Neil Booth). This fixes the
349 issue of rxvt-unicode not properly displaying text after an illegal
350 sequence on NetBSD and probably other systems.
351 - more intelligent property handling with -pe tabbed, works around
352 broken window managers (kwm et al.), saves bandwidth and should
353 help working window managers as well.
354 - made tabs moveable (based on a patch by Petr Machata).
355 - implement ESC [ 3 K as a more rational alternative to ESC [ 0 K.
356 - support relative paths for RXVT_SOCKET in urxvtd.
357 - the tabbed extension now blindly copies over all (rxvt-) resources
358 from the toplevel window to the children.
359 - better diagnostic on 0x0 window geometries.
360 - update AnyEvent API to version 3.4 and above.
361 - document the default value of :0 for DISPLAY.
362 - rename perl method XChangeWindowProperty to XChangeProperty.
363
3649.02 Tue Jan 29 11:58:36 CET 2008
365 - the "exg makes everybody happy" release.
366 - fix build with !xft.
367 - always compile in plain style scrollbar (simplifies code and looks great).
368
3699.01 Sat Jan 26 20:49:27 CET 2008
370 - be more aggressive about handling X events, this seems to be required
371 with newer xlibs (should fix the "screen stays black until event is
372 received" problem, again :)
373 - add buffered resource to control xft double-buffering.
374
3759.0 Fri Jan 25 19:34:04 CET 2008
376 - fix a crash bug where urxvtd would crash when urxvtc was called
377 with wrong arguments (I wish debian maintainers in general would
378 report bugs and their proposed fixes to the original package maintainers
379 instead of sitting on them for good measure to see if anybody notices).
380 - drawing xft compose characters was causing garbage to be drawn.
381 - correctly clear xft character background in all cases.
382 - implement bracketed paste mode (xterm private mode 2004).
383 - improve documentation on alpha channel handling, make urxvt
384 work better on servers lacking the RENDER extension when alpha
385 channels or background images are used.
386 - check for refresh after initialising to avoid staying blank
387 till the first event arrives. or so.
388 - the FORCE_UNBUFFERED_XFT feature macro works again.
389 - continuously update transparency while moving/resizing now.
390 - OSC 39/49 are deprecated and aliased to OSC 10/11.
391 - cub1 now acts as advertised (and ignores the "wrapped" state).
392 - the 132/80 mode switch now forces a height of 24, too, and
393 resets the terminal.
394 - scrollbar code cleanups.
395 - stopping children is no longer confused with children exiting.
396 - removed (undocumented) #aarrggbb format.
397 - updated to libev 3.0.
398
3998.9 Mon Dec 24 07:51:40 CET 2007
400 - fix the issue where urxvtd would not immediately close a window
401 when the command exited but only on the next X event.
402 - changed terminfo file not to use application keypad mode.
403 - fix the issue where making a selection in one urxvtd window
404 would not clear it visually in another.
405 - fix an issue of urxvt not getting background pixmap updates
406 and flickering after bg pixmap changes (reported by Mikachu).
407 - fix redraw bug in xterm scrollbar with -sr (reported by Mikachu).
408 - correctly provide dependencies for libev (µikachu).
409 - minor code reorganisations and cleanups.
410 - be more robust in case the urxvt-popup extension cannot be loaded.
411
4128.8 Sat Dec 15 19:40:39 CET 2007
413 - option -C was aliased to all unsupported options, activating
414 options that shouldn't be compiled in, leading to interesting
415 effects.
416 - updated libev, working around a bug in linux 2.4, curing the
417 symptom of urxvt not closing its window on shell exit. also
418 fixes a problem with urxvt not refreshing.
419 - the text blink callback was called even when no blinking
420 text was visible.
421 - pre-8.4 slipwheeling behaviour has been reinstated, with
422 some minor improvements.
423 - streamlined x events processing to only flush once per
424 display and not once per terminal window.
425 - quite a bit of minor code cleanups and codesize optimisations.
426
4278.7 Sun Nov 25 10:23:49 CET 2007
428 - update libev with an important bugfix that would cause crashes
429 when closing windows (when using rxvtd, and update is recommended).
430 - do not compile in the block builtin graphics with --disable-frills.
431
4328.6 Fri Nov 23 14:10:57 CET 2007
433 - upgrade libev to disable kqueue on anything but netbsd as it
434 seems to be broken everywhere else w.r.t. ptys.
435 - allow for spurious event notifications, as at least epoll and
436 especially solaris ports like to lie about them (symptoms:
437 urxvt "hangs" until there is some x11 related activity).
438 - -keysym command line options are now subjected to xlib parsing.
439 - add 'xrm' option analogous to Xt one.
440
4418.5a Wed Nov 21 10:16:33 CET 2007
442 - make it compile with --disable-transparency.
443
4448.5 Wed Nov 21 05:19:20 CET 2007
445 - expect major portability issues in this release: please test and report.
446 - converted from the veritable io manager event loop to
447 the high performance libev (http://software.schmorp.de/pkg/libev).
448 - minor tuning to the perl selection (include single words and more quoting chars).
449 - fix memory leak in pixmap code.
450 - fix a serious bug while setting the XIM destroy callback
451 on (typical) 64 bit systems.
452 - automove-background functionality re-implemented internally using :root op in pixmap
453 geometry string. For example: rxvt -pixmap "image.jpg;:root"
454 - do not link rxvtc against every lib on the planet anymore.
455 - parallel builds should work once more.
456
4578.4 Sat Oct 27 14:02:13 CEST 2007
458 - overhaul of the transparency/pixmap code (sasha).
459 - fix possible race between visual bell and poweron.
460 (reported by Martin von Gagern, gentoo?).
461 - urxvt -e no longer crashes the child.
462 - fixed some minor memleaks on incorrect usage or
463 missing DISPLAY.
464 - implement xterm 1002/1003 mouse tracking modes (exg).
465 - source code organisational cleanups (exg).
466 - updated io_manager.
467
4688.3 Wed Aug 1 20:21:31 CEST 2007
469 - new option: skipScroll/-ss, enabled by default.
470 - go with the times and expect x11 library files in /usr/lib, not
471 /usr/X11R6/lib.
472 - initial transparency improvement/afterimage support
473 patch by Sasha Vasko.
474 - add urgentOnBell resource to set the urgency hint
475 (patch by Philip Paeps).
476 - do not process focus events caused by grabs
477 (patch by Mikachu).
478 - add iso14755_52 resource to disable iso14755 5.2 (exg).
479 - add binding for backspace in iso14755 5.1 to remove the last
480 digit (exg).
481 - better option handling, support more than 30 options (exg).
482 - nuke reconf script, serves no purpose anymore.
483 - fixed and documented matcher/on_user_command processing in matcher
484 extension (tpope).
485 - compile out of the box on Solaris 10 (exg).
486 - fix MappingNotify events (reported by Stephan Walter).
487 - zero-initialise mwmhints, this seems to solve all sorts of minor
488 problems.
489
4908.2 Sat Feb 17 21:35:28 CET 2007
491 - fix make depend in src/, reported by exg.
492 - fixed typo in urxvt::GET_CUSTOM, causing the result to be wrong.
493 (patch by Sergey Vlasov).
494 - unbundled iom perl interface somewhat.
495 - scrollbar-xterm now uses the selected scrollColor instead of fg
496 (found by Aiviru).
497 - disabled linux kernel bug workaround again: disabling it gives
498 a 50% speed hit on affected machines, while enabling it gives
499 a similar speed hit to screen, which is likely the more common
500 case to work around for :/
501 - urxvt::rend2mask perl function, and utilization of it by matcher
502 (patch by Moshe Kamensky).
503 - use perl:matcher on a keysym to open most recently displayed URL.
504 - with matcher, when multiple patterns match, last wins, not first.
505 - fix make and make install with srcdir != builddir (exg).
506 - updated bundled libptytty to fix a bug where the tty would be kept
507 open (see the libptytty ChangeLog for details).
508 - delay setting the IUTF8 flag to after the tty settings have been
509 set so its value does not get lost (reported and analysed by Andrei
510 Paskevich).
511 - rip out support for obsolete sgtty.h interface.
512 - rip out support for non-POSIX termios variants.
513 - update libptytty.
514 - update iom.C, make it call ptytty::sanitise_stdfd on init.
515 - when !XFT, change rounding of colours to use a less correct formula to
516 meet user expectancies (#aaa becomes #a000a000a000 not #9f9f9f9f9f9f).
517 - change the starting offset of the pixmap set with backgroundPixmap
518 from (50,50) to (0,0) (exg).
519 - fix a typo in button_release, now meta-button2 request the value of
520 the Clipboard selection as it should (patch by Serge Koksharov).
521 - fix a bug in drawing a cell with a nonspacing char when using an xft
522 font with inheritPixmap and tintColor (exg).
523
5248.1 Thu Dec 7 22:27:25 CET 2006
525 - ケリスマスプレゼント - zomg!!1, it's too early!!!
526 - fix the assumption that chars < 256 are single-width. Now
527 only assume this for codepoints 32 to 126 (reported by Dai.H.).
528 - $term->strwidth returned wide chars as width 1, because some jerk
529 confused min and max. Fixing this also fixes xim-onthespot.
530 Reported by Takano Akio.
531 - secondaryScroll is now enabled by default (as per the manpage),
532 reported by exg.
533 - correct the description of [percent]color rgba format in the manpage.
534 - incorporated macosx-clipboard extension by Samuel Ljungkvist.
535 - ignore (some) useless focus events (reported by mmc).
536 - updated compose table to unicode 5.0.0.
537
5388.0 Thu Nov 2 18:35:19 CET 2006
539 - combining characters cleared the area instead of creating an overlay,
540 thus losing the ability to draw combining characters properly in most
541 circumstances (reported by exg).
542 - specified fonts were incorrectly morphed to bold/italic according to the
543 basefont, even if explicitly specified (tracked down by tpope).
544 - fixed urxvt::strwidth to calculate width in the same way as screen.C.
545 - fix a crash caused by passing negative widths to overlay functions.
546 - added 'matcher' extension by tpope, replacing the mark-urls extension.
547 - improve url regex to match anything www.* (tpope).
548 - fixed bug with outline cursor color being wrong after xft fonts.
549 - update to libptytty-1.0.
550 - give proper diagnostic when RXVT_SOCKET is too long instead of
551 corrupting the stack (patch by exg).
552 - display current terminal locale in option menu.
553 - urxvtd no longer crashes when the client sends an inaccessible
554 working directory (reported by Roland Baer, possibly fixes gentoo
555 bug #143985).
556 - fixed many minor issues reported by Roland Baer.
557 - Leonid Khramov spotted a minor glitch in rxvtfont.C that
558 should not have any consequences, but was buggy nonetheless.
559 - manpage fix by exg.
560
5617.9 Mon Aug 7 18:16:07 CEST 2006
562 - fix the crashing bug people encountered with 7.8 + urxvtd + perl
563 + transparency. Ought to fix debian bug #380348.
564 - fix urxvtc.1.pod: it actually claimed -pty-fd would not work. But
565 it does! :->
566 - rxvt_fatal() in case the locale string is too long for our static buffer.
567 - fixed many, many, typos in the manpages (patch supplied by ves).
568
5697.8 Mon Jul 17 21:00:46 CEST 2006
570 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: this version will always read ~/.Xdefaults,
571 earlier versions only read it if display-resources (usually from
572 .Xresources) are not set. This avoids the #1 FAQ ("why isn't my
573 resource used") and seems to be logical behaviour, too. .Xdefaults
574 resources have a lower priority than display-specific resources.
575 - add "kuake" perl extension that does a similar thing to the kuake
576 terminal emulator (see man urxvtperl).
577 - use less "correct" color scaling that is compatible with libX11 and
578 Xft (avoids off-by-one colors resulting in striped backgrounds).
579 - the "depth" resource is now respected.
580 - preset the searchable-scrollback pattern with "(?i)" to default search
581 to case-insensitivity. Will automatically be cleared when typing an
582 uppercase character.
583 - add FORCE_UNBUFFERED_XFT define to features.h.
584 - re-enabled highlightcolor support with --enable-frills, based on
585 a patch by Martin Stubenschrott.
586 - double-buffered xft drawing did suffer from pixel offset issues
587 when pixmap transparency was enabled.
588 - strategically add # to the url-match regexes, as we really want to
589 match common URIs not common URLs. Reported by Aaron Griffin.
590 - moved on_osc_seq to on_osc_seq_perl and added a more
591 generic osc_seq.
592 - fix a bug causing double callback invocations when perl hooks
593 were invoked recursively.
594 - the automove-background extension now properly works when the
595 pixmap gets reset with an osc sequence (sqweek).
596 - selection-pastebin did not work properly with non-latin1-characters.
597 - apply colorUL only when the text colour is the default fg
598 (patch by Wu Fengguang).
599 - removed rxvtlib.h from the tarball, it had no reason to be there
600 (spotted by Decklin Foster).
601 - fix compiling with TRANSPARENT but !XPM_BACKGROUND, as reported
602 by omatunto_.
603 - slap in a using namespace std, might help on platforms that don't
604 follow C++ closely enough.
605 - fix mailto url regex, spotted within milliseconds by Jost Krieger.
606 - applied fade_color_update_func.patch by WU Fengguang.
607 - fix a bug where (due to an optimisation in av_delete), hiding the
608 bottom-most overlay would hide two overlays.
609
6107.7 Tue Feb 21 12:32:49 CET 2006
611 - use double-buffered drawing (xft fonts only). On many driver/hardware
612 combination this actually increases xft drawing speed, at the expense
613 of more network bandwidth and slight nausea on the side of the author.
614 - readline perl extension now requires shift-click instead of a normal
615 click, and eats the click.
616 - tabbed perl extension now supports -e.
617 - disabled graphics-exposures on the main drawing GC, report any
618 refresh bugs please.
619 - improve property handling for -pe tabbed: avoid unnecessary property
620 changes (for kde's benefit) at the expense of extra round-trips,
621 improve size hint setting.
622 - modified XIM according to a patch sent by Takano Akio that sets
623 the preedit rectangle for OverTheSpot, which helps some input methods
624 to correctly position their preedit window.
625 - un-optimise the line clearing on newly scrolled-in lines a bit: the
626 former reasoning was that any fg colour on default bg looks the same
627 in empty spaces, but that's not true when reversing (e.g. selection),
628 so also check for matching fg colours. This fixes the problem where
629 selecting newly scrolled-in lines would exhibit wrong colours.
630 - fix a bug in the perl interface causing focus in events to generate
631 focus out perl events, causing bad focus effects with -pe tabbed.
632 - fix a race resulting in a crash on exiting.
633 - fix a with --disable-xft that caused xfreecolors to be called on
634 colors never allocated, resulting in aborts (reported by Paco-Paco).
635 - resources on non-initial screens weren't refetched correctly
636 (reported by Paco-Paco).
637 - fix a bug in xcopyarea pass and _disable_ it, as it seems not to be
638 working in either rxvt-unicode nor in the original rxvt.
639 - removed undocumented -exec alias for the -e option.
640
6417.6 Fri Feb 10 08:52:36 CET 2006
642 - changed interpretation of [alpha] colour prefix.
643 - +option now really sets the option to default, instead of using the
644 resource value.
645 - options that require an argument now really _require_ an argument.
646 - the tabbed extension now forwards focus and key events to the
647 relevant tab window.
648 - tab colours are now configurable and have sensible defaults
649 (initial patch by hednod).
650 - option menu is extendable, readline, selection and
651 selection-autotransform can now be disabled/enabled at runtime.
652 - forcing a configure event to tabbed subwindows with -pe tabbed, for
653 the benefit of automove-background.
654 - the automove-background extension added a wrong constant offset.
655 - force refresh of XA_RESOURCE_STRING on virtual reconnect.
656 - return exit status 2 in urxvtc when urxvtd couldn't be contacted.
657 - the linux yield hack is back, now using usleep, and enabled only on
658 __linux__.
659 - further round trip eliminations in the !XFT case by remembering
660 the colour components.
661 - plain scrollbar works better with -sr.
662 - fixed half-shadow scrollbar look.
663 - more colour rtt optimisations.
664 - properly(?) free colours on window close.
665 - reorganised the FAQ into multiple sections.
666 - add ISO646.1991-IRV to the list of supported codesets.
667 - minor libptytty update.
668
6697.5 Tue Jan 31 15:15:43 CET 2006
670 - further improvements to the careful mode detection, and font width
671 detection:
672 - fully double-wide fonts will now be correctly treated,
673 - overlap detection was improved.
674 - detect totally broken fonts (usually synthesized by xft).
675 - careful mode forced refresh sometimes clashed with blinking,
676 causing unnecessary screen redraws.
677 - better handling of XFT combining characters.
678 - enable antialiasing for some replacement fonts, as they
679 might get used for other encodings which really need it, later.
680 - remove spacing=100 from all default fonts, as this creates totally
681 weird spacing (5 times normal) with xft.
682 - removed iso10646 fallback, as xorgs iso10646 encoded fonts are mostly
683 broken.
684 - removed gnu unifont fallback, all combining characters are broken.
685 - replace named colours by xorg's rgb.txt equivalents, to
686 reduce round trip time on startup, and short-cut allocation
687 of rgb:rr/gg/bb for xft.
688 - short-cut allocation of rgb values in the xlib case
689 (patch by Paco-Paco).
690 - overhauled color management: smaller codesize, alpha support.
691 - support "rgba:rrrr/gggg/bbbb/aaaa" color specifications and
692 an "[alpha]" prefix.
693 - try to work around Xft and Xrender forcing everything to be 100%
694 transparent. Long Live Xft!
695 - do not include X11/Intrinsic.h anymore, directly use
696 Xlib/Xutil/Xresource directly.
697 - try to find a nearest matching color when color allocation fails
698 on a pseudocolor screen.
699 - SYNCCVS: compared to rxvt-cvs 2006-01-28, no relevant changes.
700 - fix version report (DA) (which was unfortunately broken).
701 - changed version number report again, now to emulate xterm closer.
702 - added the OSC sequence 702 to detect the urxvt version number.
703 - small configure updates.
704 - further RTT optimisations.
705 - backported clean-up patches for makefiles and documentation from
706 the debian package.
707 - updated doc/rxvt-unicode.spec file. It's still not maintained here,
708 but much newer than the old one.
709
7107.4 Sat Jan 28 15:26:27 CET 2006
711 - screen background wasn't always erased properly when scrolling,
712 - re-enabled clearing optimisation disabled in 7.4pre.
713 - small configure updates for libptytty.
714 - fixed version options: line output.
715 - removed stoopid debugging message left in the code.
716
7177.3 Wed Jan 25 22:47:35 CET 2006
718 - don't let iso14755 or mouse reporting get into the way of perl
719 (could lead to global grabs never being cleared).
720 - experimental OnTheSpot editing support (-pe xim-onthespot).
721 - moved Shift-Button2 paste combination to Meta-Button2.
722 - the cutchars resource will now be respected and used by the
723 selection extension.
724 - added the "remote-clipboard" extension which just runs external
725 commands to fetch and store the selection data.
726 - added -depth switch that tries to get a different visual depth
727 than the default (replaces the old PREFER_24_BIT logic).
728 - removed (unused) arabic presentation form composing sequences.
729 - be more strict when deciding that a core font glyph is too wide and
730 needs the careful rendering mode.
731 - allow more leeway for italic fonts when deciding that a character is
732 too wide and needs careful mode.
733 - redraw even more characters around characters using careful mode.
734 - made selection-pastebin fully asynchronous.
735 - reduced number of server turnarounds at startup by allocating
736 atoms only once per display.
737 - renamed on_keyboard_command to on_user_command.
738 - changed version sos (ESC [ > c) response to be more compatible with
739 xterm.
740
7417.2 Sun Jan 22 21:58:16 CET 2006
742 - bugfix: urxvt (not urxvtd) did not correctly handle multiple
743 environments necessary, which resulted in segfaults within
744 getenv (reproducible: urxvt -fn 9x15, open a menu once,
745 ctrl-shift-672c).
746 - bugfix: the selection speedup in in 7.1 unfortunately caused
747 non-ascii characters to enlarge/move the selection.
748 - bugfix: resizing sometimes leaked lines from the secondary to
749 the primary screen.
750 - bugfix: reducing window size while large amounts of text were output
751 could lead to an assertion failure.
752 - added "tabbed" extension that provides a crude tabbed terminal.
753 - added "readline" extension that allows cursor positioning
754 via mouse clicks.
755 - now it is possible to insert the value of the CLIPBOARD selection
756 with shift - mouse button 2.
757 - fixed the automove-background extension to ignore coordinates
758 in non-synthetic events.
759 - created a separate libpty for portable and secure
760 pty/tty/utmp/wtmp/lastlog handling, and include it in rxvt-unicode.
761 - the non-terminfo visual bell now works asynchronously, so
762 continuous ASCI BELs in one terminal do no longer monopolise the
763 whole urxvt[d] process.
764 - support some *BSD makes (for the time being, gnu make is a safe bet).
765 - work around bugs in FreeBSD's gcc.
766 - implemented some *BSD fixes in configure.
767 - removed support for obsolete offix dnd protocol.
768
7697.1 Thu Jan 19 20:25:34 CET 2006
770 - setuid/setgid operation is now _encouraged_: security has been
771 improved by moving privileged operations into a separate process
772 and permanently dropping privileges within the terminal. This
773 makes it possible to remove security checks from the perl code
774 and gives a much safer feeling when urxvt needs to run with
775 special privileges.
776 - perl taint checking disabled, as urxvt no longer runs setuid/setgid
777 itself.
778 - new perl extension automove-background that can be used to get
779 the same effect as pseudo-transparency with any pixmap.
780 - new perl extension example: perl/selection-pastebin, can be used to
781 e.g. upload the selection to a webserver and generate a url, or
782 similar stuff.
783 - use the scrollback buffer even when the scroll region doesn't
784 span the whole screen, as long as it starts at row 0. Helps
785 for programs displaying a status line at the bottom.
786 - selection popup now shows selection in dec/hex/oct.
787 - perl/selection: matching on unicode characters in the selection
788 code was O(n²), which equals infinity in some degenerate cases
789 :-> Matching is now done on UTF-8, which makes it almost instant.
790 - perl/selection, perl/selection-autotransform: regexes are now
791 being interpreted in the locale urxvt was started.
792 - implemented override-redirect option and enabled it on menus,
793 as kwin puts our windows behind the terminal (what a shoddy wm).
794 - fixed struct utmp check in configure for OpenBSD.
795 - complete overhaul of the pty/utmp management stuff and configure
796 (Emanuele Giaquinta=exg).
797 - add tsl/fsl and related capabilities to the terminfo description,
798 to set the window title.
799 - swap the environment in some more cases. This hopefully fixes
800 some segfaults that might be caused by xft asking for env variables
801 at the wrong time.
802 - removed src/strings.C and src/menubar.C. No menubar support
803 anymore.
804 - removed all traces of SMOOTH_REFRESH.
805 - nuked QNX support.
806 - made some fixes to xpm offset and scaling code.
807 - perl-overlays and refresh hooks were not applied in correct order.
808 - changed coordinate-system of view_start/nsaved to be top to bottom.
809 - iom extended to support listening for child exits.
810
8117.0 Fri Jan 13 14:02:18 CET 2006
812 - added sections for DISTRIBUTION MAINTAINERS and about
813 SETUID/SETGID to the FAQ.
814 - selection, searchable-scrollback, selection-popup and
815 option-popup extensions enabled by default.
816 - increased xft drawing speed for problematic fonts. The effect
817 will likely be small as 99% of the xft slowness is server-related.
818 - perl: much increased functionality, better overlays, popup support
819 and much much more.
820 - perl: urxvt::line now can set via ->t and ->r.
821 - perl: changed interpretation of --perl-ext-common and -pe.
822 - perl: finally implemented --perl-eval.
823 - perl: non-blocking anyevent support.
824 - perl: run tainted and ignore perl-eval/perl-lib if started
825 setuid/setgid.
826 - free the resource database: this plugs a massive memory leak. As a
827 side effect, it also gets rid of XGetDefault calls.
828 - free one of the cursors, fixes a small memory leak.
829 - built-in (as opposed to terminfos) visual bell was broken/too fast.
830 - applied minor cleanups by Ladislav Michnovic.
831 - applied pty handling cleanups and improvements (Emanuele Giaquinta).
832 - mark-urls launch-on-click by jepler.
833 - removed "small" resource parsing function, as it wasn't really
834 compatible, and not really small either.
835 - removed PATH_ENV and PATH file search support.
836 - removed support for locale-specific app-defaults file.
837 - fixed a bug where out-of-bounds colour sequences could lead
838 to crashes.
839 - limit colour changing to the standard 88 palette instead of all
840 colours.
841 - XTerm_Color01 sequence returned wrong results in query mode.
842 - iom.C now checks against destructed io_manager when unregistering.
843
8446.3 Wed Jan 4 22:37:10 CET 2006
845 - SECURITY FIX: on systems using openpty, permissions were
846 not correctly updated on the tty device and were left as
847 world-readable and world-writable (likely in original rxvt,
848 too), and were not restored properly. Affected are only
849 systems where non-unix ptys were used (such as most BSDs, not
850 GNU/Linux). (found, patched and debugged by Ryan Beasley).
851 - meta8 support was forcefully enabled in most configurations.
852 restored configurability of this (useless) feature (reported
853 by Mikachu).
854 - optionally embed a perl interpreter, which can be used for more
855 intelligent/customized selection support, visual feedback,
856 menus, tabs etc. See the the urxvtperl manpage, the -pe option,
857 perl*-resources and keysym resources. Not everything is there yet.
858 - try to be more clever about differing font sizes and their ascent.
859 Not guaranteed to work, but works better in most cases now.
860 - fix directory permissions on install.
861 - implemented option to disable built-in line drawing characters
862 and fall back to the font ones (patch by Martin Pohlack).
863 - disabled sched_yield support: the linux version is just too useless
864 (it schedules nice'd processes before the own one for extended
865 periods). Too bad, it could reduce system time by a factor of 5 here.
866
8676.2 Mon Jan 2 16:03:01 CET 2006
868 - implemented intensityStyles option which enables/disables bold/blink
869 selecting high intensity foreground/background colours, suggested by
870 Chuck Blake.
871 - move iso14755 character feedback box out of the way if it would
872 obscure the mouse cursor position.
873 - replaced callback.h by a fixed version from gvpe that correctly
