8WISH: searchable backlog 11WISH: investigate -pe tabbed -g 80x25 being 23 not 24 or 25 lines
9WISH: meta-tagging of data by regex/master process (my dream project) 12 => when setting the constraints, the wm might (correctly)
10WISH: OnTheSpot editing, or maybe switch to miiiiiiif 13 resize the outer window, which might result in a smaller window overall.

48 - drop ISO 2022 locale support. ISO 2022 encodings are not supported in
49 POSIX locales and clash with vt100 charset emulation.
50 - work around API change breakage in perl 5.28, based on a patch by
51 Roman Bogorodskiy.
52 - improved security: rob nation's (obsolete) graphics mode queries
53 no longer reply with linefeed in secure/default mode.
54 - ISO 8613-3 direct colour SGR sequences (patch by Fengguang Wu).
55 - xterm focus reporting mode (patch by Daniel Hahler).
56 - in some window managers, if smart resize was enabled, urxvt
57 erroneously moved the window on font change - awesome bug
58 #532, arch linux bug ##34807 (patch by Uli Schlachter).
59 - fix urxvtd crash when using a background expression.
60 - properly restore colors when using fading and reverse video
61 is enabled while urxvt is focused and then disabled while it
62 is not focused, or vice versa (patch by Daniel Hahler).
63 - fix high memory usage when an extension repeatedly hides and
64 shows an overlay (reported by Marcel Lautenbach).
65 - the old bg image resources are now provided by the background
66 extension, and perl is thus required for bg image support. No
67 configuration change is needed: urxvt autoloads the background
68 ext if any bg image resource/option is present. The old bg image
69 resources are also now deprecated; users are encouraged to
70 switch to the new bg image interface (see man urxvt-background).
71 - expose priv_modes member and constants to perl extensions
72 (patch by Rastislav Barlik).
73 - fix a whole slew of const sillyness, unfortunately forced upon
74 us by ISO C++.
75 - update to libecb 0x00010006.
76 - disable all thread support in ecb.h as we presumably don't need it.
77
789.22 Sat Jan 23 21:07:33 CET 2016
79 - NOTICE: this release updates terminfo.
80 - add terminfo capabilities for various ctrl and shift-ctrl key variants
81 (patch by Sebastian Schmidt).
82 - fix longstanding core font encoding bug where some character
83 ranges could not be mapped from unicode to the font: affected
84 encodings are big5, gb2312, iso8859-8 (hebrew), jis0201 and
85 ksc5601 (reported by Mikachu).
86 - fix crash when the number of columns is 1 and a 0 width character is inserted
87 (reported by Kuang-che Wu).
88 - fix a crash when parsing an invalid color specification (reported by Kuang-che Wu).
89 - fix a buffer overflow in font name parser (reported by Kuang-che Wu).
90 - do not start blinking cursor if the window is unfocused (reported by
91 Devin J. Pohly).
92 - change the width of underline and i-beam cursor to 2 pixels (based on
93 a patch by Omar Sandoval).
94 - add pointerShape resource to change the mouse pointer shape
95 (based on a patch by Brian Watson).
96 - a keysym resource for a key which is already bound to an
97 action now properly rebinds the key.
98 - do not report mouse motion events if Shift is active (patch by Daniel Hahler).
99 - put the alpha component last in responses to OSC color queries
100 (patch by Benjamin Herr).
101 - the key_press hook is now invoked before processing the
102 event, as documented. This change was done in 9.21 but not
103 announced and fixes debian bugs #511377, #531751 and red hat
104 bug #1105069. Note that this change breaks a few scripts,
105 such as mark-yank-urls, which rely on the previous buggy
106 behaviour that urxvt processes the event (in particular
107 keysym bindings) before invoking the hook.
108 - the tabbed extension now properly refreshes the active tab
109 on a key press when the mouse pointer is outside the terminal
110 window.
111 - add 'lookup_keysym' perl method to lookup the action bound
112 to a key combination.
113 - a key combination bound to 'matcher:select' can now be used
114 to cycle through the matches in matcher.
115 - change perl integer accessors (->width et al.) into mutators.
116
1179.21 Wed Dec 31 14:50:03 CET 2014
118 - the "moa redraw 8-bit british vintage colour management" release.
119 - NOTICE: this release updates terminfo.
120 - fix pixel droppings on overdraw when a secondary core font has the
121 same height but different ascent.
122 - implement cvvis in terminfo as blinking cursor, to distinguish it
123 from cnorm (emacs uses cvvis which is commonly a blinking cursor).
124 - when xft support was compiled in, colour queries erroneously returned
125 premultiplied values, this also affected internal queries, for example
126 when calculating faded colour. alpha is now divided out when possible,
127 which is more correct but loses colour resolution.
128 - add DECSCUSR xterm extension to set the cursor to a vertical bar.
129 - add 'extension:string' action, and associated on_action perl
130 hook, for keysym resources that invokes actions provided by
131 perl extensions. The 'perl:string' action and
132 on_user_command hook are deprecated but still supported.
133 - add 'builtin-string' action for keysym resources that restores string
134 mappings for keys that have predefined actions in urxvt.
135 - add -k option to urxvtc for killing the daemon process.
136 - document urxvtd's -e/--eval option that was implemented in 9.16,
137 but not documented.
138 - add -dockapp option to make the wm treat urxvt as a dockapp.
139 - add -mc option and multiClickTime resource to set the maximum time
140 between multi-click select events (patch by Joe Peterson).
141 - new 'eval' extension to evaluate arbitrary perl code with keysym
142 bindings. The extension also provides methods that implement basic
143 actions, such as pasting selections and scrolling.
144 - the macosx-clipboard and macosx-clipboard-native extensions have been removed.
145 - kuake extension now uses the kuake.hotkey resource to specify the hotkey.
146 - new 'matcher:select' mode of matcher to iterate over the matches with the keyboard.
147 - the 'matcher:list' feature of matcher now honours the launcher
148 associated to a matched pattern.
149 - speed-up matcher underlining on very long lines (reported by Edward Z. Yang).
150 - fix up/down commands of searchable-scrollback so that they always move
151 to the previous/next logical line with a match, if any.
152 - searchable-scrollback resource has been deprecated (use keysym instead).
153 - extension parameter passing is deprecated (use resource mechanism instead).
154 - upgrade to GPLv3 (see COPYING).
155 - compile out of the box on Solaris 10, again.
156 - fix height and position of the stippled area in next scrollbar (patch
157 by Thomas Otto).
158 - fix off-by-one bug causing the iso14755 window not to jump out of the
159 way properly.
160 - fix crash that may happen if a lib to which urxvt is linked to calls setenv.
161 - fix memory leak in special_{encode,decode} perl methods.
162 - fix refresh bug that occurs when reverse video is set on a cell
163 containing a space and with the same bg and fg colour, red hat bug
164 #830236.
165 - fix crash that may happen if an x error is received after a terminal
166 window/popup has been destroyed already.
167 - removed superfluous 0 digit from sgr terminfo sequence.
168 - greatly improve colour allocation on colour-starved pseudocolour
169 displays to avoid read-write cells instead of simply failing
170 (this is only relevant for antique 8bpp frame buffers).
171 - do not free fade colours when not doing fading (this is likely
172 only relevant for antique 8bpp frame buffers).
173 - do not specialcase 2 or 4 colour visuals, leading to
174 simpler and actually more correct code.
175 - hopefully no longer leak colours on !truecolour visuals.
176 - use consistent method names (scr_recolour => scr_recolor).
177 - use simpler (but slightly less bogus) formula for nearest
178 colour choice (this is likely only relevant for antique 8bpp
179 frame buffers).
180 - remove fallback behaviour when initialising colours - the
181 behaviour was inconsistent between startup vs. later and
182 was only effective when valid colours couldn't be allocated.
183
1849.20 Sat Apr 26 16:22:27 CEST 2014
185 - (libptytty) fix bug that prevented urxvtd from writing utmp
186 entries when using --fork (reported by Ryan Kavanagh).
187 - security bugfix: window property values could be queried even
188 in secure mode (reported by Conor McCarthy).
189 - fix build when perl is enabled and fading is disabled.
190 - fix regression that broke continuous scrolling when pressing
191 and holding the scrollbar up or down button, gentoo bug #493992.
192 - increase the maximum length of a command sequence to 32k bytes,
193 to allow longer OSC sequences (previous limit was 2k).
194 - new Ctrl-Meta-c and Ctrl-Meta-v bindings to interact with
195 the CLIPBOARD selection.
196 - new extension: selection-to-clipboard.
197 - the extensions macosx-clipboard and macosx-clipboard-native
198 are deprecated and will be removed in the next release.
199 Support for the clipboard on OS X can be more generally
200 enabled by setting the XQuartz preference to sync the OS X
201 pasteboard and the X11 clipboard.
202
2039.19 Sun Oct 27 17:16:07 CET 2013
204 - work around perl 5.18.0 breakage in tabbed extension
205 (reported by Karol Blazewicz) and in pod (Dominic Hargreaves).
206 - fix regression that caused the double-click word selection to
207 erroneously include a tab on the left of the selected word.
208 - implement FOCUS variable and focus_fade function in background
209 expression, to allow focus-sensitive background images.
210 - add support for the set cursor style (DECSCUSR) control
211 function.
212 - honour cursorColor also when the cursor style is underline.
213 - export some Color_xxx constants to Perl.
214
2159.18 Sun Mar 24 15:33:35 CET 2013
216 - fix regression that caused artifacts on resize.
217
2189.17 Fri Mar 1 13:46:08 CET 2013
219 - add shade operator in background perl extension.
220 - avoid starting or ending the selection in the middle of wide
221 characters to avoid artifacts (reported by Tiago Resende).
222 - fix artifacts that may occur if the character in the cursor
223 cell has width > 1 (reported by Tiago Resende).
224 - fix regression that causes artifacts on scrolling if
225 saveLines is 0 and the window is resized (reported by Bert
226 Münnich).
227 - fix build when perl is enabled and pixbuf and transparency
228 are disabled.
229
2309.16 Thu Dec 27 11:56:43 CET 2012
231 - the "so much new stuff your eyes will pop out" release.
232 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: renamed urlLauncher resource to url-launcher.
233 - fix processing of DEC private mode save sequences (patch by Patrick
234 Hemmer).
235 - perl extensions now have their own manpages, installed as urxvt-NAME(1),
236 e.g. urxvt-background(1) - see urxvt-extensions(1) for a list.
237 - fix disabling of cursor blink with the option-popup menu (based on a
238 patch by Jan Larres).
239 - the font height is not augmented anymore when lineSpace is non zero.
240 - fix "new pagemap" vs. "delete pagemap" mismatch ([] vs. non-[]),
241 as diagnosed by clang.
242 - fix height mismatch between active and inactive cursor when
243 lineSpace is non zero (patch by Stanislav Seletskiy).
244 - make it compile with LOCAL_X_IS_UNIX again (reported by
245 nickfailure@gmail.com).
246 - completely redone background pixmap support - users can now
247 specify arbitrary expressions (And programs) that calculate
248 new terminal backgrounds. see the urxvt-background manpage
249 for details.
250 - xrender is now required for background pixmap support.
251 - perl extensions can now provide commandline switches and resources
252 which show up in -help etc.
253 - iso14755 51 mode window now displays row and column.
254 - implement a -visual switch and move that and -depth to frills, also
255 warn when we can't get the requested visual.
256 - new env variable: RXVT_PERL_LIB.
257 - allocate all screen memory in one go and let the virtual memory
258 subsystem sort it out. this simplifies code, improves access
259 locality, saves a bit of ram and makes things a bit faster, too.
260 - remove support for libafterimage.
261 - update to CVS version of libev, for a whopping 11kb size decrease.
262 - do not ship yet another copy of ecb.h, use the one in libev or
263 libptytty instead.
264 - selectively mark some methods as cache-hot/cache cold, which
265 might speed up execution but definitely decreases codesize.
266 - Fix regression that prevented the scrollbar trough color
267 from being applied (reported by Derek B. Noonburg).
268 - Fix the scrollbar size for rxvt style (patch by Mark Robinson).
269
2709.15 Sat Jan 21 13:36:56 CET 2012
271 - remove "using namespace std" because clang erroneously
272 thinks thats an error.
273 - finding a matching font (e.g. bold version of the base font)
274 was broken (reported by Eamon Walker).
275 - fix parsing of bg image styles. They really work now.
276 - fix blurring of bg image borders when using xrender.
277 - fix xrender blur on common xrender implementations that do
278 not behave correctly when the same pixmap is used as source
279 and destination in composite operations.
280 - fix regression that caused tabbed to compute the wrong size
281 for tabs.
282 - allow again an empty suffix in a keysym list spec (patch by
283 Sung Pae).
284 - unsupported support for sun studio's CC added.
285 - fix -C option on solaris.
286
2879.14 Wed Dec 21 18:40:33 CET 2011
288 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: the urxvtd default socket path is now
289 $HOME/.urxvt/urxvtd-<nodename>.
290 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: the "list" keysym expansion now requires
291 loading of the "keysym-list" perl extension.
292 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: A scale value of 0 in the bg image
293 geometry no longer enables tiling, so as to make it possible
294 to disable both scaling and tiling.
295 - overhaul of the bg image operations. The old operations have
296 been deprecated in favour of elementary operations and
297 styles built on top of the new operations and scale/position
298 settings. (Emanuele Giaquinta).
299 - support for libafterimage is deprecated and will be removed
300 in the next release.
301 - fix a crash caused by selection_check not properly resetting
302 out-of-bounds mark values (can happen when extending a selection
303 while scrolling up in curses programs for example).
304 - do not move the selection when scrolling up and the selection is
305 outside the scrolling region (Emanuele Giaquinta).
306 - fix display of bold bright black (reported by Ben Winslow).
307 - fix memory leak when urgentOnBell is set (patch by Nathaniel
308 Filardo).
309 - fix a redraw bug that occurs when a bg pixmap is set and the
310 wm does not honour the size hints set by urxvt. Now urxvt
311 forces the size of the terminal window to be a multiple of
312 the cell size.
313 - sanitise the argument of SD / SU sequences. Fixes a possible
314 crash when the argument is big enough, red hat bug #711137
315 (Emanuele Giaquinta).
316 - correctly split long lines when scrolling.
317 - urxvt now looks for perl extensions also in $HOME/.urxvt/ext.
318 - add bell-command perl extension to execute a command when a
319 bell event occurs (Ryan Kavanagh).
320 - add set_urgency perl binding to set/reset the urgency hint.
321 - consume button release event in matcher (exg).
322 - keyboard accessible list of recent matches in matcher
323 (Bob Farrell).
324 - properly process 'keysym' sequences in tabbed when using
325 'focus follows mouse' and the focus is on the main window
326 but not on the active terminal window (patch by Martin
327 Pohlack).
328 - support for the freedesktop startup-notification protocol (patch by
329 Michael Stapelberg).
330 - the direction of VPR and VPB commands was reversed.
331 - fix alignment of inherited root pixmap when it is a different size
332 than the root window and the terminal window is off the left or top
333 edge (Mikachu).
334 - make $self visible in "eval perl expression" popup action, also
335 handle exceptions better.
336 - fix parsing of '-e' when it occurs as an option argument, such as in
337 'urxvt -title -e' (Emanuele Giaquinta).
338
3399.12 Wed Jun 29 14:34:28 CEST 2011
340 - fix regression in processing of SelectionNotify events.
341 urxvt would fail to request a selection if the owner did not
342 support the UTF8_STRING target.
343 - fix rendering of double width chars in certain circumstances, more
344 likely to happen if urxvt is compiled with 256 colors support as
345 urxvt runs out of fonts much earlier then. Fixes gentoo bug #358151
346 (Emanuele Giaquinta).
347 - restore support for 'list' syntax in keysym resources (requested by Sung Pae).
348 - always premultiply colour values - while this increases differences between
349 core fonts and xft, it is "more correct" in practical situations.
350 - disable PTYTTY_REENTRANT option - not needed for urxvt and saves a bit of code.
351 - remove lucidatypewriter from the list of fallback fonts, it was the only
352 non-xft non-cellfont in the list anyway.
353
3549.11 Mon May 2 10:34:46 CEST 2011
355 - fix compilation on GNU/Hurd, debian bug #624736.
356 - remove 'list' syntax for keysym resources, as it serves no useful purpose.
357 If you need it, poke us and provide a use case.
358 - fix alpha channel support. Premultiply alpha in colours if the visual
359 supports an alpha channel, as xrender expects premultiplied alpha
360 (Emanuele Giaquinta).
361 - fix reply to a selection request sent by an obsolete client
362 such as syncterm (patch by Marcin Cieslak).
363 - fix crash when the window is resized and the overlay is active
364 (Emanuele Giaquinta, reported by Ryan Kavanagh).
365 - match character-wise rather than byte-wise in selection
366 extension again. perl 5.8.9+ is required to avoid extreme
367 slowdowns. Fixes debian bugs #523072, #616463.
368 - fix a possible crash if the INCR transfer process for a
369 selection property timeouts and at least one chunk is
370 received. (Emanuele Giaquinta)
371 - work around a memory corruption bug in xorg's XrmSetDatabase (apparently
372 broken since http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/xorg-commit-diffs/2004-March/000239.html).
373 - fix memory corruption bug when custom command sequences bound to keys
374 were injected into an already-full pty input buffer.
375 - gdk-pixbuf is autodetected by default and preferred over libafterimage.
376 - do not prepend a newline to the selection text when the starting line
377 of the selection is not highlighted (Emanuele Giaquinta).
378 - don't swap perl env with real env, save and restore it, just in case
379 we ever get recursive perl invocations. also saves a bit of codespace
380 with gcc.
381 - fix various memory leaks (Emanuele Giaquinta).
382 - fix typo in kIC terminfo capability, debian bug #446444.
383 - document 'thickness' resource.
384 - fix debian bug #504817, to the extent possible.
385 - try to detect byte order at compile time, saves a couple of
386 hundred bytes, if your compiler is smart enough.
387 - add support for previewing the pasted data in confirm-paste
388 (Emanuele Giaquinta).
389 - added "newlines to spaces" option in selection-popup.
390 - actually enabled solaris event ports backend (was disabled by accident).
391 - revert to 38400 baud max., mission accomplished.
392 - no longer create scary "pty_fill: PLEASE REPORT" message, instead,
393 silently drain the input (problem is well understood now).
394 - no longer swallow rob nation's own graphics mode commands.
395
3969.10 Mon Dec 13 17:43:52 CET 2010
397 - the "schmorp=north korea dickey=south korea" release.
398 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: make OSC 20 simpler and more correct
399 (Emanuele Giaquinta).
400 - if options were compiled out, this could lead to the option
401 count to be defined wrongly. This is likely behind the
402 failures with gcc 4.5.
403 - explicitly depend on fontconfig and xrender when xft support
404 is enabled. Although the public Xft api uses types from
405 both, in Xft 2.2.0 these libs are private
406 dependencies only thanks to an idiotic behaviour of
407 pkg-config that was added to workaround cases like this one.
408 Fixes linking when using GNU ld with --as-needed or GNU gold
409 (based on patch by Jan Palus).
410 - fix minor memory leaks in urxvt and urxvtd.
411 - fix regression in urxvtd that prevented options from being correctly
412 set (reported by Michal Vaner).
413 - implement xterm's horribly broken 1005 mouse reporting mode,
414 and an alternative 1015 mode that works in non-utf-8 locales
415 and has fewer limitations.
416 - fix a possible bug where mouse notifications didn't work after
417 startup for the upper left corner.
418 - implement our own pixbuf to pixmap rendering to get rid of
419 dependency on buggy gdk-pixbuf-xlib. Only truecolor visuals
420 are supported (Emanuele Giaquinta).
421 - apply tinting before shading when both operations are requested.
422 Previously they were intermixed when lightening and the result
423 was inaccurate and confusing. Note that now a black tint yields a
424 completely black image, regardless of shading (Emanuele Giaquinta).
425 - avoid spurious redraws of the bg image when bg is transparent or
426 when using 'root' mode (Emanuele Giaquinta).
427 - fix build on XFree86.
428 - dynamically number options according to compiletime requirements.
429 For the extra saved byte. Or so. Yay.
430 - start options at one, not zero. Wastes a bit per terminal. Maybe.
431 saves 50 instruction bytes. Possibly.
432

456 (Emanuele Giaquinta).
457 - make sure pagewise scrolling scrolls at least one line

499 - enable --mlock option for urxvt with frills on
500 systems supporting it (patch by Russell Harmon).
501 - urxvt did not compile without frills enabled

506 refresh (reported by Mikachu).
507 - fix a typo preventing the ISO-646.1991 character set from being
508 recognized (http://achurch.org/patch-pile/).
509 - better warning for x11 font encoding detection failures, also,
510 try to deduce encoding from both font properties and name
511 (adapted from http://achurch.org/patch-pile/).
512 - resizing the window with the scrollbar disabled via the escapes
513 sequence could make the window bigger again (Mikachu).
514 - make sure the alignment for fd passing control messages
515 is correct and work around some NetBSD issues (Taylor R Campbell).

520 - assertions in libev are now enabled depending on frills.
521 - update AnyEvent implementation to version 5.23 API.
522 - work around arrogant bsd idiocies again: netbsd spills the default

524 though neither of them does it, and then calls the rest of the world
525 in need of fixing. go figure.
526 - on_keyboard_command is on_user_command (patch by Michael Witten).
527 - setting the selection from perl will now reset the selection screen
528 to the current screen. the screen can be manipulated using
529 the new ->selection_screen method.

538 - NOTICE: this release updates terminfo/termcap.
539 - updates libev to 3.48.
540 - the aterm code now frees the as visual and image manager objects
541 when a window was closed.
542 - do not (wrongly) adjust the virtual line length inside
543 scr_insdel_chars/ERASE (Miroslav Lichvar).
544 - fix an issue where wide tab characters caused character shifts
545 when part of them was deleted (tracked down by Miroslav Lichvar).
546 - artificially enlargen the previous character at the end of a line
547 when trying to output a character that doesn't fit. looks ugly, but
548 makes copy&paste work.
549 - remove bogus "setuid/setgid security issues" from rxvt.1.pod, they
550 no longer apply.
551 - the urgency hint is now cleared on both focus in and focus out.
552 - cache urgency hint locally to avoid server rtt on every focus change.
553 - perl 5.10 needs PERL_SYS_INIT3 on hppa.
554 - ignore byte-order marks and do not treat them like combining characters.
555 - fix build issue when CURSOR_BLINK is not defined (Emanuele Giaquinta).
556 - do some µ-optimisations to the character fast path.
557 - use a less cunning, but more robust algorithm to avoid one terminal
558 monopolising the whole process by outputting a lot of text.
559 - try to work around linux first breaking sched_yield and now breaking
560 the only known workaround.
561 - new option -icon to set _NET_WM_ICON (based on patch by Frank Schmitt).
562 - initialise the as visual only on demand, instead of unconditionally,
563 to save memory in the common case of not using visual gimmicks.
564 - try to work around bugs in a few wm's that erroneously resize
565 client windows on hint property updates by temporarily
566 disabling size hints.
567 - implement the DECSTR soft reset sequence and use it for tput init,
568 and make hard RIS and DECSTR both reset more private modes, such
569 as mouse reporting.
570 - redundantly clear mouse reporting and a few other states in
571 tput init/tput reset, for older urxvts.
572 - partial/full clear screens did cause flickering and possibly pixel
573 droppings when urxvt viewed the scrollback buffer.
574 - use current rendition style in DCH sequence.
575 - the 132/80 mode switch no longer forces a screen reset.
576 - add an osc sequence to change the border colour (Emanuele Giaquinta).
577 - new perl extension "overlay-osc", for status displays and the like.
578 - fix some minor cursor drawing issues with overlays by allowing
579 overlays to modify screen flags (to disable the cursor themselves).
580 - work around programs not restoring rstyle before rmcup
581 (analysed by Miroslav Lichvar).
582
5839.05 Sun Jun 15 20:09:20 CEST 2008
584 - new option --cd/chdir to set the starting working directory.
585 - tabbed extension now starts in the "correct" working directory.

589 with more than 31 file descriptors on non-linux 64 bit systems.
590 - correctly reset the multibyte state to the initial one
591 after EILSEQ (patch by Neil Booth). This fixes the
592 issue of rxvt-unicode not properly displaying text after an illegal
593 sequence on NetBSD and probably other systems.
594 - more intelligent property handling with -pe tabbed, works around
595 broken window managers (kwm et al.), saves bandwidth and should
596 help working window managers as well.
597 - made tabs moveable (based on a patch by Petr Machata).
598 - implement ESC [ 3 K as a more rational alternative to ESC [ 0 K.
599 - support relative paths for RXVT_SOCKET in urxvtd.
600 - the tabbed extension now blindly copies over all (rxvt-) resources
601 from the toplevel window to the children.
602 - better diagnostic on 0x0 window geometries.
603 - update AnyEvent API to version 3.4 and above.
604 - document the default value of :0 for DISPLAY.
605 - rename perl method XChangeWindowProperty to XChangeProperty.
606
6079.02 Tue Jan 29 11:58:36 CET 2008
608 - the "exg makes everybody happy" release.
609 - fix build with !xft.
610 - always compile in plain style scrollbar (simplifies code and looks great).
611
6129.01 Sat Jan 26 20:49:27 CET 2008
613 - be more aggressive about handling X events, this seems to be required
614 with newer xlibs (should fix the "screen stays black until event is
615 received" problem, again :)
616 - add buffered resource to control xft double-buffering.
617
6189.0 Fri Jan 25 19:34:04 CET 2008
619 - fix a crash bug where urxvtd would crash when urxvtc was called
620 with wrong arguments (I wish debian maintainers in general would
621 report bugs and their proposed fixes to the original package maintainers
622 instead of sitting on them for good measure to see if anybody notices).
623 - drawing xft compose characters was causing garbage to be drawn.
624 - correctly clear xft character background in all cases.
625 - implement bracketed paste mode (xterm private mode 2004).
626 - improve documentation on alpha channel handling, make urxvt
627 work better on servers lacking the RENDER extension when alpha
628 channels or background images are used.
629 - check for refresh after initialising to avoid staying blank
630 till the first event arrives. or so.
631 - the FORCE_UNBUFFERED_XFT feature macro works again.
632 - continuously update transparency while moving/resizing now.
633 - OSC 39/49 are deprecated and aliased to OSC 10/11.
634 - cub1 now acts as advertised (and ignores the "wrapped" state).
635 - the 132/80 mode switch now forces a height of 24, too, and
636 resets the terminal.
637 - scrollbar code cleanups.
638 - stopping children is no longer confused with children exiting.
639 - removed (undocumented) #aarrggbb format.
640 - updated to libev 3.0.
641
6428.9 Mon Dec 24 07:51:40 CET 2007
643 - fix the issue where urxvtd would not immediately close a window
644 when the command exited but only on the next X event.
645 - changed terminfo file not to use application keypad mode.
646 - fix the issue where making a selection in one urxvtd window
647 would not clear it visually in another.
648 - fix an issue of urxvt not getting background pixmap updates
649 and flickering after bg pixmap changes (reported by Mikachu).
650 - fix redraw bug in xterm scrollbar with -sr (reported by Mikachu).
651 - correctly provide dependencies for libev (µikachu).
652 - minor code reorganisations and cleanups.
653 - be more robust in case the urxvt-popup extension cannot be loaded.
654
6558.8 Sat Dec 15 19:40:39 CET 2007
656 - option -C was aliased to all unsupported options, activating
657 options that shouldn't be compiled in, leading to interesting
658 effects.
659 - updated libev, working around a bug in linux 2.4, curing the
660 symptom of urxvt not closing its window on shell exit. also
661 fixes a problem with urxvt not refreshing.
662 - the text blink callback was called even when no blinking
663 text was visible.
664 - pre-8.4 slipwheeling behaviour has been reinstated, with
665 some minor improvements.
666 - streamlined x events processing to only flush once per
667 display and not once per terminal window.
668 - quite a bit of minor code cleanups and codesize optimisations.
669
6708.7 Sun Nov 25 10:23:49 CET 2007
671 - update libev with an important bugfix that would cause crashes
672 when closing windows (when using rxvtd, and update is recommended).
673 - do not compile in the block builtin graphics with --disable-frills.
674
6758.6 Fri Nov 23 14:10:57 CET 2007
676 - upgrade libev to disable kqueue on anything but netbsd as it
677 seems to be broken everywhere else w.r.t. ptys.
678 - allow for spurious event notifications, as at least epoll and
679 especially solaris ports like to lie about them (symptoms:
680 urxvt "hangs" until there is some x11 related activity).
681 - -keysym command line options are now subjected to xlib parsing.
682 - add 'xrm' option analogous to Xt one.
683
6848.5a Wed Nov 21 10:16:33 CET 2007
685 - make it compile with --disable-transparency.
686
6878.5 Wed Nov 21 05:19:20 CET 2007
688 - expect major portability issues in this release: please test and report.
689 - converted from the veritable io manager event loop to
690 the high performance libev (http://software.schmorp.de/pkg/libev).
691 - minor tuning to the perl selection (include single words and more quoting chars).
692 - fix memory leak in pixmap code.
693 - fix a serious bug while setting the XIM destroy callback
694 on (typical) 64 bit systems.
695 - automove-background functionality re-implemented internally using :root op in pixmap
696 geometry string. For example: rxvt -pixmap "image.jpg;:root"
697 - do not link rxvtc against every lib on the planet anymore.
698 - parallel builds should work once more.
699
7008.4 Sat Oct 27 14:02:13 CEST 2007
701 - overhaul of the transparency/pixmap code (sasha).
702 - fix possible race between visual bell and poweron.
703 (reported by Martin von Gagern, gentoo?).
704 - urxvt -e no longer crashes the child.
705 - fixed some minor memleaks on incorrect usage or
706 missing DISPLAY.
707 - implement xterm 1002/1003 mouse tracking modes (exg).
708 - source code organisational cleanups (exg).
709 - updated io_manager.
710
7118.3 Wed Aug 1 20:21:31 CEST 2007
712 - new option: skipScroll/-ss, enabled by default.
713 - go with the times and expect x11 library files in /usr/lib, not
714 /usr/X11R6/lib.
715 - initial transparency improvement/afterimage support
716 patch by Sasha Vasko.
717 - add urgentOnBell resource to set the urgency hint
718 (patch by Philip Paeps).
719 - do not process focus events caused by grabs
720 (patch by Mikachu).
721 - add iso14755_52 resource to disable iso14755 5.2 (exg).
722 - add binding for backspace in iso14755 5.1 to remove the last
723 digit (exg).
724 - better option handling, support more than 30 options (exg).
725 - nuke reconf script, serves no purpose anymore.
726 - fixed and documented matcher/on_user_command processing in matcher
727 extension (tpope).
728 - compile out of the box on Solaris 10 (exg).
729 - fix MappingNotify events (reported by Stephan Walter).
730 - zero-initialise mwmhints, this seems to solve all sorts of minor
731 problems.
732
7338.2 Sat Feb 17 21:35:28 CET 2007
734 - fix make depend in src/, reported by exg.
735 - fixed typo in urxvt::GET_CUSTOM, causing the result to be wrong.
736 (patch by Sergey Vlasov).
737 - unbundled iom perl interface somewhat.
738 - scrollbar-xterm now uses the selected scrollColor instead of fg
739 (found by Aiviru).
740 - disabled linux kernel bug workaround again: disabling it gives
741 a 50% speed hit on affected machines, while enabling it gives
742 a similar speed hit to screen, which is likely the more common
743 case to work around for :/
744 - urxvt::rend2mask perl function, and utilization of it by matcher
745 (patch by Moshe Kamensky).
746 - use perl:matcher on a keysym to open most recently displayed URL.
747 - with matcher, when multiple patterns match, last wins, not first.
748 - fix make and make install with srcdir != builddir (exg).
749 - updated bundled libptytty to fix a bug where the tty would be kept
750 open (see the libptytty ChangeLog for details).
751 - delay setting the IUTF8 flag to after the tty settings have been
752 set so its value does not get lost (reported and analysed by Andrei
753 Paskevich).
754 - rip out support for obsolete sgtty.h interface.
755 - rip out support for non-POSIX termios variants.
756 - update libptytty.
757 - update iom.C, make it call ptytty::sanitise_stdfd on init.
758 - when !XFT, change rounding of colours to use a less correct formula to
759 meet user expectancies (#aaa becomes #a000a000a000 not #9f9f9f9f9f9f).
760 - change the starting offset of the pixmap set with backgroundPixmap
761 from (50,50) to (0,0) (exg).
762 - fix a typo in button_release, now meta-button2 request the value of
763 the Clipboard selection as it should (patch by Serge Koksharov).
764 - fix a bug in drawing a cell with a nonspacing char when using an xft
765 font with inheritPixmap and tintColor (exg).
766
7678.1 Thu Dec 7 22:27:25 CET 2006
768 - ケリスマスプレゼント - zomg!!1, it's too early!!!
769 - fix the assumption that chars < 256 are single-width. Now
770 only assume this for codepoints 32 to 126 (reported by Dai.H.).
771 - $term->strwidth returned wide chars as width 1, because some jerk
772 confused min and max. Fixing this also fixes xim-onthespot.
773 Reported by Takano Akio.
774 - secondaryScroll is now enabled by default (as per the manpage),
775 reported by exg.
776 - correct the description of [percent]color rgba format in the manpage.
777 - incorporated macosx-clipboard extension by Samuel Ljungkvist.
778 - ignore (some) useless focus events (reported by mmc).
779 - updated compose table to unicode 5.0.0.
780
7818.0 Thu Nov 2 18:35:19 CET 2006
782 - combining characters cleared the area instead of creating an overlay,
783 thus losing the ability to draw combining characters properly in most
784 circumstances (reported by exg).
785 - specified fonts were incorrectly morphed to bold/italic according to the
786 basefont, even if explicitly specified (tracked down by tpope).
787 - fixed urxvt::strwidth to calculate width in the same way as screen.C.
788 - fix a crash caused by passing negative widths to overlay functions.
789 - added 'matcher' extension by tpope, replacing the mark-urls extension.
790 - improve url regex to match anything www.* (tpope).
791 - fixed bug with outline cursor color being wrong after xft fonts.
792 - update to libptytty-1.0.
793 - give proper diagnostic when RXVT_SOCKET is too long instead of
794 corrupting the stack (patch by exg).
795 - display current terminal locale in option menu.
796 - urxvtd no longer crashes when the client sends an inaccessible
797 working directory (reported by Roland Baer, possibly fixes gentoo
798 bug #143985).
799 - fixed many minor issues reported by Roland Baer.
800 - Leonid Khramov spotted a minor glitch in rxvtfont.C that
801 should not have any consequences, but was buggy nonetheless.
802 - manpage fix by exg.
803
8047.9 Mon Aug 7 18:16:07 CEST 2006
805 - fix the crashing bug people encountered with 7.8 + urxvtd + perl
806 + transparency. Ought to fix debian bug #380348.
807 - fix urxvtc.1.pod: it actually claimed -pty-fd would not work. But
808 it does! :->
809 - rxvt_fatal() in case the locale string is too long for our static buffer.
810 - fixed many, many, typos in the manpages (patch supplied by ves).
811
8127.8 Mon Jul 17 21:00:46 CEST 2006
813 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: this version will always read ~/.Xdefaults,
814 earlier versions only read it if display-resources (usually from
815 .Xresources) are not set. This avoids the #1 FAQ ("why isn't my
816 resource used") and seems to be logical behaviour, too. .Xdefaults
817 resources have a lower priority than display-specific resources.
818 - add "kuake" perl extension that does a similar thing to the kuake
819 terminal emulator (see man urxvtperl).
820 - use less "correct" color scaling that is compatible with libX11 and
821 Xft (avoids off-by-one colors resulting in striped backgrounds).
822 - the "depth" resource is now respected.
823 - preset the searchable-scrollback pattern with "(?i)" to default search
824 to case-insensitivity. Will automatically be cleared when typing an
825 uppercase character.
826 - add FORCE_UNBUFFERED_XFT define to features.h.
827 - re-enabled highlightcolor support with --enable-frills, based on
828 a patch by Martin Stubenschrott.
829 - double-buffered xft drawing did suffer from pixel offset issues
830 when pixmap transparency was enabled.
831 - strategically add # to the url-match regexes, as we really want to
832 match common URIs not common URLs. Reported by Aaron Griffin.
833 - moved on_osc_seq to on_osc_seq_perl and added a more
834 generic osc_seq.
835 - fix a bug causing double callback invocations when perl hooks
836 were invoked recursively.
837 - the automove-background extension now properly works when the
838 pixmap gets reset with an osc sequence (sqweek).
839 - selection-pastebin did not work properly with non-latin1-characters.
840 - apply colorUL only when the text colour is the default fg
841 (patch by Wu Fengguang).
842 - removed rxvtlib.h from the tarball, it had no reason to be there
843 (spotted by Decklin Foster).
844 - fix compiling with TRANSPARENT but !XPM_BACKGROUND, as reported
845 by omatunto_.
846 - slap in a using namespace std, might help on platforms that don't
847 follow C++ closely enough.
848 - fix mailto url regex, spotted within milliseconds by Jost Krieger.
849 - applied fade_color_update_func.patch by WU Fengguang.
850 - fix a bug where (due to an optimisation in av_delete), hiding the
851 bottom-most overlay would hide two overlays.
852
8537.7 Tue Feb 21 12:32:49 CET 2006
854 - use double-buffered drawing (xft fonts only). On many driver/hardware
855 combination this actually increases xft drawing speed, at the expense
856 of more network bandwidth and slight nausea on the side of the author.
857 - readline perl extension now requires shift-click instead of a normal
858 click, and eats the click.
859 - tabbed perl extension now supports -e.
860 - disabled graphics-exposures on the main drawing GC, report any
861 refresh bugs please.
862 - improve property handling for -pe tabbed: avoid unnecessary property
863 changes (for kde's benefit) at the expense of extra round-trips,
864 improve size hint setting.
865 - modified XIM according to a patch sent by Takano Akio that sets
866 the preedit rectangle for OverTheSpot, which helps some input methods
867 to correctly position their preedit window.
868 - un-optimise the line clearing on newly scrolled-in lines a bit: the
869 former reasoning was that any fg colour on default bg looks the same
870 in empty spaces, but that's not true when reversing (e.g. selection),
871 so also check for matching fg colours. This fixes the problem where
872 selecting newly scrolled-in lines would exhibit wrong colours.
873 - fix a bug in the perl interface causing focus in events to generate
874 focus out perl events, causing bad focus effects with -pe tabbed.
875 - fix a race resulting in a crash on exiting.
876 - fix a with --disable-xft that caused xfreecolors to be called on
877 colors never allocated, resulting in aborts (reported by Paco-Paco).
878 - resources on non-initial screens weren't refetched correctly
879 (reported by Paco-Paco).
880 - fix a bug in xcopyarea pass and _disable_ it, as it seems not to be
881 working in either rxvt-unicode nor in the original rxvt.
882 - removed undocumented -exec alias for the -e option.
883
8847.6 Fri Feb 10 08:52:36 CET 2006
885 - changed interpretation of [alpha] colour prefix.
886 - +option now really sets the option to default, instead of using the
887 resource value.
888 - options that require an argument now really _require_ an argument.
889 - the tabbed extension now forwards focus and key events to the
890 relevant tab window.
891 - tab colours are now configurable and have sensible defaults
892 (initial patch by hednod).
893 - option menu is extendable, readline, selection and
894 selection-autotransform can now be disabled/enabled at runtime.
895 - forcing a configure event to tabbed subwindows with -pe tabbed, for
896 the benefit of automove-background.
897 - the automove-background extension added a wrong constant offset.
898 - force refresh of XA_RESOURCE_STRING on virtual reconnect.
899 - return exit status 2 in urxvtc when urxvtd couldn't be contacted.
900 - the linux yield hack is back, now using usleep, and enabled only on
901 __linux__.
902 - further round trip eliminations in the !XFT case by remembering
903 the colour components.
904 - plain scrollbar works better with -sr.
905 - fixed half-shadow scrollbar look.
906 - more colour rtt optimisations.
907 - properly(?) free colours on window close.
908 - reorganised the FAQ into multiple sections.
909 - add ISO646.1991-IRV to the list of supported codesets.
910 - minor libptytty update.
911
9127.5 Tue Jan 31 15:15:43 CET 2006
913 - further improvements to the careful mode detection, and font width
914 detection:
915 - fully double-wide fonts will now be correctly treated,
916 - overlap detection was improved.
917 - detect totally broken fonts (usually synthesized by xft).
918 - careful mode forced refresh sometimes clashed with blinking,
919 causing unnecessary screen redraws.
920 - better handling of XFT combining characters.
921 - enable antialiasing for some replacement fonts, as they
922 might get used for other encodings which really need it, later.
923 - remove spacing=100 from all default fonts, as this creates totally
924 weird spacing (5 times normal) with xft.
925 - removed iso10646 fallback, as xorgs iso10646 encoded fonts are mostly
926 broken.
927 - removed gnu unifont fallback, all combining characters are broken.
928 - replace named colours by xorg's rgb.txt equivalents, to
929 reduce round trip time on startup, and short-cut allocation
930 of rgb:rr/gg/bb for xft.
931 - short-cut allocation of rgb values in the xlib case
932 (patch by Paco-Paco).
933 - overhauled color management: smaller codesize, alpha support.
934 - support "rgba:rrrr/gggg/bbbb/aaaa" color specifications and
935 an "[alpha]" prefix.
936 - try to work around Xft and Xrender forcing everything to be 100%
937 transparent. Long Live Xft!
938 - do not include X11/Intrinsic.h anymore, directly use
939 Xlib/Xutil/Xresource directly.
940 - try to find a nearest matching color when color allocation fails
941 on a pseudocolor screen.
942 - SYNCCVS: compared to rxvt-cvs 2006-01-28, no relevant changes.
943 - fix version report (DA) (which was unfortunately broken).
944 - changed version number report again, now to emulate xterm closer.
945 - added the OSC sequence 702 to detect the urxvt version number.
946 - small configure updates.
947 - further RTT optimisations.
948 - backported clean-up patches for makefiles and documentation from
949 the debian package.
950 - updated doc/rxvt-unicode.spec file. It's still not maintained here,
951 but much newer than the old one.
952
9537.4 Sat Jan 28 15:26:27 CET 2006
954 - screen background wasn't always erased properly when scrolling,
955 - re-enabled clearing optimisation disabled in 7.4pre.
956 - small configure updates for libptytty.
957 - fixed version options: line output.
958 - removed stoopid debugging message left in the code.
959
9607.3 Wed Jan 25 22:47:35 CET 2006
961 - don't let iso14755 or mouse reporting get into the way of perl
962 (could lead to global grabs never being cleared).
963 - experimental OnTheSpot editing support (-pe xim-onthespot).
964 - moved Shift-Button2 paste combination to Meta-Button2.
965 - the cutchars resource will now be respected and used by the
966 selection extension.
967 - added the "remote-clipboard" extension which just runs external
968 commands to fetch and store the selection data.
969 - added -depth switch that tries to get a different visual depth
970 than the default (replaces the old PREFER_24_BIT logic).
971 - removed (unused) arabic presentation form composing sequences.
972 - be more strict when deciding that a core font glyph is too wide and
973 needs the careful rendering mode.
974 - allow more leeway for italic fonts when deciding that a character is
975 too wide and needs careful mode.
976 - redraw even more characters around characters using careful mode.
977 - made selection-pastebin fully asynchronous.
978 - reduced number of server turnarounds at startup by allocating
979 atoms only once per display.
980 - renamed on_keyboard_command to on_user_command.
981 - changed version sos (ESC [ > c) response to be more compatible with
982 xterm.
983
9847.2 Sun Jan 22 21:58:16 CET 2006
985 - bugfix: urxvt (not urxvtd) did not correctly handle multiple
986 environments necessary, which resulted in segfaults within
987 getenv (reproducible: urxvt -fn 9x15, open a menu once,
988 ctrl-shift-672c).
989 - bugfix: the selection speedup in in 7.1 unfortunately caused
990 non-ascii characters to enlarge/move the selection.
991 - bugfix: resizing sometimes leaked lines from the secondary to
992 the primary screen.
993 - bugfix: reducing window size while large amounts of text were output
994 could lead to an assertion failure.
995 - added "tabbed" extension that provides a crude tabbed terminal.
996 - added "readline" extension that allows cursor positioning
997 via mouse clicks.
998 - now it is possible to insert the value of the CLIPBOARD selection
999 with shift - mouse button 2.
1000 - fixed the automove-background extension to ignore coordinates
1001 in non-synthetic events.
1002 - created a separate libpty for portable and secure
1003 pty/tty/utmp/wtmp/lastlog handling, and include it in rxvt-unicode.
1004 - the non-terminfo visual bell now works asynchronously, so
1005 continuous ASCI BELs in one terminal do no longer monopolise the
1006 whole urxvt[d] process.
1007 - support some *BSD makes (for the time being, gnu make is a safe bet).
1008 - work around bugs in FreeBSD's gcc.
1009 - implemented some *BSD fixes in configure.
1010 - removed support for obsolete offix dnd protocol.
1011
10127.1 Thu Jan 19 20:25:34 CET 2006
1013 - setuid/setgid operation is now _encouraged_: security has been
1014 improved by moving privileged operations into a separate process
1015 and permanently dropping privileges within the terminal. This
1016 makes it possible to remove security checks from the perl code
1017 and gives a much safer feeling when urxvt needs to run with
1018 special privileges.
1019 - perl taint checking disabled, as urxvt no longer runs setuid/setgid
1020 itself.
1021 - new perl extension automove-background that can be used to get
1022 the same effect as pseudo-transparency with any pixmap.
1023 - new perl extension example: perl/selection-pastebin, can be used to
1024 e.g. upload the selection to a webserver and generate a url, or
1025 similar stuff.
1026 - use the scrollback buffer even when the scroll region doesn't
1027 span the whole screen, as long as it starts at row 0. Helps
1028 for programs displaying a status line at the bottom.
1029 - selection popup now shows selection in dec/hex/oct.
1030 - perl/selection: matching on unicode characters in the selection
1031 code was O(n²), which equals infinity in some degenerate cases
1032 :-> Matching is now done on UTF-8, which makes it almost instant.
1033 - perl/selection, perl/selection-autotransform: regexes are now
1034 being interpreted in the locale urxvt was started.
1035 - implemented override-redirect option and enabled it on menus,
1036 as kwin puts our windows behind the terminal (what a shoddy wm).
1037 - fixed struct utmp check in configure for OpenBSD.
1038 - complete overhaul of the pty/utmp management stuff and configure
1039 (Emanuele Giaquinta=exg).
1040 - add tsl/fsl and related capabilities to the terminfo description,
1041 to set the window title.
1042 - swap the environment in some more cases. This hopefully fixes
1043 some segfaults that might be caused by xft asking for env variables
1044 at the wrong time.
1045 - removed src/strings.C and src/menubar.C. No menubar support
1046 anymore.
1047 - removed all traces of SMOOTH_REFRESH.
1048 - nuked QNX support.
1049 - made some fixes to xpm offset and scaling code.
1050 - perl-overlays and refresh hooks were not applied in correct order.
1051 - changed coordinate-system of view_start/nsaved to be top to bottom.
1052 - iom extended to support listening for child exits.
1053
10547.0 Fri Jan 13 14:02:18 CET 2006
1055 - added sections for DISTRIBUTION MAINTAINERS and about
1056 SETUID/SETGID to the FAQ.
1057 - selection, searchable-scrollback, selection-popup and
1058 option-popup extensions enabled by default.
1059 - increased xft drawing speed for problematic fonts. The effect
1060 will likely be small as 99% of the xft slowness is server-related.
1061 - perl: much increased functionality, better overlays, popup support
1062 and much much more.
1063 - perl: urxvt::line now can set via ->t and ->r.
1064 - perl: changed interpretation of --perl-ext-common and -pe.
1065 - perl: finally implemented --perl-eval.
1066 - perl: non-blocking anyevent support.
1067 - perl: run tainted and ignore perl-eval/perl-lib if started
1068 setuid/setgid.
1069 - free the resource database: this plugs a massive memory leak. As a
1070 side effect, it also gets rid of XGetDefault calls.
1071 - free one of the cursors, fixes a small memory leak.
1072 - built-in (as opposed to terminfos) visual bell was broken/too fast.
1073 - applied minor cleanups by Ladislav Michnovic.
1074 - applied pty handling cleanups and improvements (Emanuele Giaquinta).
1075 - mark-urls launch-on-click by jepler.
1076 - removed "small" resource parsing function, as it wasn't really
1077 compatible, and not really small either.
1078 - removed PATH_ENV and PATH file search support.
1079 - removed support for locale-specific app-defaults file.
1080 - fixed a bug where out-of-bounds colour sequences could lead
1081 to crashes.
1082 - limit colour changing to the standard 88 palette instead of all
1083 colours.
1084 - XTerm_Color01 sequence returned wrong results in query mode.
1085 - iom.C now checks against destructed io_manager when unregistering.
1086
10876.3 Wed Jan 4 22:37:10 CET 2006
1088 - SECURITY FIX: on systems using openpty, permissions were
1089 not correctly updated on the tty device and were left as
1090 world-readable and world-writable (likely in original rxvt,
1091 too), and were not restored properly. Affected are only
1092 systems where non-unix ptys were used (such as most BSDs, not
1093 GNU/Linux). (found, patched and debugged by Ryan Beasley).
1094 - meta8 support was forcefully enabled in most configurations.
1095 restored configurability of this (useless) feature (reported
1096 by Mikachu).
1097 - optionally embed a perl interpreter, which can be used for more
1098 intelligent/customized selection support, visual feedback,
1099 menus, tabs etc. See the the urxvtperl manpage, the -pe option,
1100 perl*-resources and keysym resources. Not everything is there yet.
1101 - try to be more clever about differing font sizes and their ascent.
1102 Not guaranteed to work, but works better in most cases now.
1103 - fix directory permissions on install.
1104 - implemented option to disable built-in line drawing characters
1105 and fall back to the font ones (patch by Martin Pohlack).
1106 - disabled sched_yield support: the linux version is just too useless
1107 (it schedules nice'd processes before the own one for extended
1108 periods). Too bad, it could reduce system time by a factor of 5 here.
1109
11106.2 Mon Jan 2 16:03:01 CET 2006
1111 - implemented intensityStyles option which enables/disables bold/blink
1112 selecting high intensity foreground/background colours, suggested by
1113 Chuck Blake.
1114 - move iso14755 character feedback box out of the way if it would
1115 obscure the mouse cursor position.
1116 - replaced callback.h by a fixed version from gvpe that correctly
1117 returns the callback result (affects new -pty-fd semantics in urxvtc
1118 on a few architectures). Reported by darix.
1119 - include one trailing space in rectangular selections to indicate
1120 the inserted newline (yeah, weird, but visually more pleasing).
1121 - try to use sched_yield to (drastically) improve terminal data
1122 transfer efficiency.
1123 - further minor cleanups.
1124
11256.1 Tue Dec 27 13:23:40 CET 2005
