46
47 - allow perl-ext and perl-ext-common to override autoloaded extensions.
48 this allows tabbed to disable itself in subtabs, avoiding recursive
49 loading.
50
519.26 Fri May 14 19:14:14 CEST 2021
52 - ev_iouring.c was wrongly required during compilation, and wrongly
53 not packaged.
54
559.25 Fri May 14 15:51:36 CEST 2021
56 - for the 17.5th anniversary, and because many distributions seem to
57 remove rxvt in favour of urxvt, this release resurrects rclock as
58 urclock.
59 - add support for systemd socket-based activation - debian bug #917105,
60 freebsd bug #234276.
61 - do not destruct perl on exit anymore: this might fail for a variety of
62 reasons, and takes unnecessary time.
63 - remove any macros from urxvtperl manpage(s), should fix debian
64 bug 858385.
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 (for OSC sequences to
69 work you need to enable it explicitly). The old bg image
70 resources are also now deprecated; users are encouraged to
71 switch to the new bg image interface (see man urxvt-background).
72 - confirm-paste now checks for any ctlchars, not just newlines.
73 - searchable scrollback will now ignore bracketed paste mode sequences
74 (prompted by Daniel Gröber's patch).
75 - drop ISO 2022 locale support. ISO 2022 encodings are not supported in
76 POSIX locales and clash with vt100 charset emulation (the luit
77 program can be used as a substitute).
78 - perl didn't parse rgba colours specified as an array correctly,
79 only allowing 0 and 100% intensity for each component (this affected
80 fill and tint).
81 - when iterating over resources, urxvt will now try to properly handle
82 multipart resources (such as "*background.expr"), for the benefit
83 of autoloading perl extensions.
84 - ESC G (query rxvt graphics mode) has been disabled due to security
85 implications. The rxvt graphics mode was removed in rxvt-unicode 1.5,
86 and no programs relying on being able to query the mode are known.
87 - work around API change breakage in perl 5.28, based on a patch by
88 Roman Bogorodskiy.
89 - improved security: rob nation's (obsolete) graphics mode queries
90 no longer reply with linefeed in secure/default mode.
91 - ISO 8613-3 direct colour SGR sequences (patch by Fengguang Wu).
92 - xterm focus reporting mode (patch by Daniel Hahler).
93 - xterm SGR mouse mode.
94 - implement DECRQM. Patch by Přemysl Eric Janouch.
95 - add missing color index parameter to OSC 4 response. Patch
96 by Přemysl Eric Janouch.
97 - in some window managers, if smart resize was enabled, urxvt
98 erroneously moved the window on font change - awesome bug
99 #532, arch linux bug ##34807 (patch by Uli Schlachter).
100 - fix urxvtd crash when using a background expression.
101 - properly restore colors when using fading and reverse video
102 is enabled while urxvt is focused and then disabled while it
103 is not focused, or vice versa (patch by Daniel Hahler).
104 - fix high memory usage when an extension repeatedly hides and
105 shows an overlay (reported by Marcel Lautenbach).
106 - expose priv_modes member and constants to perl extensions
107 (patch by Rastislav Barlik).
108 - fix a whole slew of const sillyness, unfortunately forced upon
109 us by ISO C++.
110 - update to libecb 0x00010006.
111 - disable all thread support in ecb.h as we presumably don't need it.
112 - slightly improve Makefile source dependencies.
113 - work around bugs in newer Pod::Xhtml versions (flags incorrect formatting codes
114 in xhtml/html sections but does not interpret correct ones).
115
1169.22 Sat Jan 23 21:07:33 CET 2016
117 - NOTICE: this release updates terminfo.
118 - add terminfo capabilities for various ctrl and shift-ctrl key variants
119 (patch by Sebastian Schmidt).
120 - fix longstanding core font encoding bug where some character
121 ranges could not be mapped from unicode to the font: affected
122 encodings are big5, gb2312, iso8859-8 (hebrew), jis0201 and
123 ksc5601 (reported by Mikachu).
124 - fix crash when the number of columns is 1 and a 0 width character is inserted
125 (reported by Kuang-che Wu).
126 - fix a crash when parsing an invalid color specification (reported by Kuang-che Wu).
127 - fix a buffer overflow in font name parser (reported by Kuang-che Wu).
128 - do not start blinking cursor if the window is unfocused (reported by
129 Devin J. Pohly).
130 - change the width of underline and i-beam cursor to 2 pixels (based on
131 a patch by Omar Sandoval).
132 - add pointerShape resource to change the mouse pointer shape
133 (based on a patch by Brian Watson).
134 - a keysym resource for a key which is already bound to an
135 action now properly rebinds the key.
136 - do not report mouse motion events if Shift is active (patch by Daniel Hahler).
137 - put the alpha component last in responses to OSC color queries
138 (patch by Benjamin Herr).
139 - the key_press hook is now invoked before processing the
140 event, as documented. This change was done in 9.21 but not
141 announced and fixes debian bugs #511377, #531751 and red hat
142 bug #1105069. Note that this change breaks a few scripts,
143 such as mark-yank-urls, which rely on the previous buggy
144 behaviour that urxvt processes the event (in particular
145 keysym bindings) before invoking the hook.
146 - the tabbed extension now properly refreshes the active tab
147 on a key press when the mouse pointer is outside the terminal
148 window.
149 - add 'lookup_keysym' perl method to lookup the action bound
150 to a key combination.
151 - a key combination bound to 'matcher:select' can now be used
152 to cycle through the matches in matcher.
153 - change perl integer accessors (->width et al.) into mutators.
154
1559.21 Wed Dec 31 14:50:03 CET 2014
156 - the "moa redraw 8-bit british vintage colour management" release.
157 - NOTICE: this release updates terminfo.
158 - fix pixel droppings on overdraw when a secondary core font has the
159 same height but different ascent.
160 - implement cvvis in terminfo as blinking cursor, to distinguish it
161 from cnorm (emacs uses cvvis which is commonly a blinking cursor).
162 - when xft support was compiled in, colour queries erroneously returned
163 premultiplied values, this also affected internal queries, for example
164 when calculating faded colour. alpha is now divided out when possible,
165 which is more correct but loses colour resolution.
166 - add DECSCUSR xterm extension to set the cursor to a vertical bar.
167 - add 'extension:string' action, and associated on_action perl
168 hook, for keysym resources that invokes actions provided by
169 perl extensions. The 'perl:string' action and
170 on_user_command hook are deprecated but still supported.
171 - add 'builtin-string' action for keysym resources that restores string
172 mappings for keys that have predefined actions in urxvt.
173 - add -k option to urxvtc for killing the daemon process.
174 - document urxvtd's -e/--eval option that was implemented in 9.16,
175 but not documented.
176 - add -dockapp option to make the wm treat urxvt as a dockapp.
177 - add -mc option and multiClickTime resource to set the maximum time
178 between multi-click select events (patch by Joe Peterson).
179 - new 'eval' extension to evaluate arbitrary perl code with keysym
180 bindings. The extension also provides methods that implement basic
181 actions, such as pasting selections and scrolling.
182 - the macosx-clipboard and macosx-clipboard-native extensions have been removed.
183 - kuake extension now uses the kuake.hotkey resource to specify the hotkey.
184 - new 'matcher:select' mode of matcher to iterate over the matches with the keyboard.
185 - the 'matcher:list' feature of matcher now honours the launcher
186 associated to a matched pattern.
187 - speed-up matcher underlining on very long lines (reported by Edward Z. Yang).
188 - fix up/down commands of searchable-scrollback so that they always move
189 to the previous/next logical line with a match, if any.
190 - searchable-scrollback resource has been deprecated (use keysym instead).
191 - extension parameter passing is deprecated (use resource mechanism instead).
192 - upgrade to GPLv3 (see COPYING).
193 - compile out of the box on Solaris 10, again.
194 - fix height and position of the stippled area in next scrollbar (patch
195 by Thomas Otto).
196 - fix off-by-one bug causing the iso14755 window not to jump out of the
197 way properly.
198 - fix crash that may happen if a lib to which urxvt is linked to calls setenv.
199 - fix memory leak in special_{encode,decode} perl methods.
200 - fix refresh bug that occurs when reverse video is set on a cell
201 containing a space and with the same bg and fg colour, red hat bug
202 #830236.
203 - fix crash that may happen if an x error is received after a terminal
204 window/popup has been destroyed already.
205 - removed superfluous 0 digit from sgr terminfo sequence.
206 - greatly improve colour allocation on colour-starved pseudocolour
207 displays to avoid read-write cells instead of simply failing
208 (this is only relevant for antique 8bpp frame buffers).
209 - do not free fade colours when not doing fading (this is likely
210 only relevant for antique 8bpp frame buffers).
211 - do not specialcase 2 or 4 colour visuals, leading to
212 simpler and actually more correct code.
213 - hopefully no longer leak colours on !truecolour visuals.
214 - use consistent method names (scr_recolour => scr_recolor).
215 - use simpler (but slightly less bogus) formula for nearest
216 colour choice (this is likely only relevant for antique 8bpp
217 frame buffers).
218 - remove fallback behaviour when initialising colours - the
219 behaviour was inconsistent between startup vs. later and
220 was only effective when valid colours couldn't be allocated.
221
2229.20 Sat Apr 26 16:22:27 CEST 2014
223 - (libptytty) fix bug that prevented urxvtd from writing utmp
224 entries when using --fork (reported by Ryan Kavanagh).
225 - security bugfix: window property values could be queried even
226 in secure mode (reported by Conor McCarthy).
227 - fix build when perl is enabled and fading is disabled.
228 - fix regression that broke continuous scrolling when pressing
229 and holding the scrollbar up or down button, gentoo bug #493992.
230 - increase the maximum length of a command sequence to 32k bytes,
231 to allow longer OSC sequences (previous limit was 2k).
232 - new Ctrl-Meta-c and Ctrl-Meta-v bindings to interact with
233 the CLIPBOARD selection.
234 - new extension: selection-to-clipboard.
235 - the extensions macosx-clipboard and macosx-clipboard-native
236 are deprecated and will be removed in the next release.
237 Support for the clipboard on OS X can be more generally
238 enabled by setting the XQuartz preference to sync the OS X
239 pasteboard and the X11 clipboard.
240
2419.19 Sun Oct 27 17:16:07 CET 2013
242 - work around perl 5.18.0 breakage in tabbed extension
243 (reported by Karol Blazewicz) and in pod (Dominic Hargreaves).
244 - fix regression that caused the double-click word selection to
245 erroneously include a tab on the left of the selected word.
246 - implement FOCUS variable and focus_fade function in background
247 expression, to allow focus-sensitive background images.
248 - add support for the set cursor style (DECSCUSR) control
249 function.
250 - honour cursorColor also when the cursor style is underline.
251 - export some Color_xxx constants to Perl.
252
2539.18 Sun Mar 24 15:33:35 CET 2013
254 - fix regression that caused artifacts on resize.
255
2569.17 Fri Mar 1 13:46:08 CET 2013
257 - add shade operator in background perl extension.
258 - avoid starting or ending the selection in the middle of wide
259 characters to avoid artifacts (reported by Tiago Resende).
260 - fix artifacts that may occur if the character in the cursor
261 cell has width > 1 (reported by Tiago Resende).
262 - fix regression that causes artifacts on scrolling if
263 saveLines is 0 and the window is resized (reported by Bert
264 Münnich).
265 - fix build when perl is enabled and pixbuf and transparency
266 are disabled.
267
2689.16 Thu Dec 27 11:56:43 CET 2012
269 - the "so much new stuff your eyes will pop out" release.
270 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: renamed urlLauncher resource to url-launcher.
271 - fix processing of DEC private mode save sequences (patch by Patrick
272 Hemmer).
273 - perl extensions now have their own manpages, installed as urxvt-NAME(1),
274 e.g. urxvt-background(1) - see urxvt-extensions(1) for a list.
275 - fix disabling of cursor blink with the option-popup menu (based on a
276 patch by Jan Larres).
277 - the font height is not augmented anymore when lineSpace is non zero.
278 - fix "new pagemap" vs. "delete pagemap" mismatch ([] vs. non-[]),
279 as diagnosed by clang.
280 - fix height mismatch between active and inactive cursor when
281 lineSpace is non zero (patch by Stanislav Seletskiy).
282 - make it compile with LOCAL_X_IS_UNIX again (reported by
283 nickfailure@gmail.com).
284 - completely redone background pixmap support - users can now
285 specify arbitrary expressions (And programs) that calculate
286 new terminal backgrounds. see the urxvt-background manpage
287 for details.
288 - xrender is now required for background pixmap support.
289 - perl extensions can now provide commandline switches and resources
290 which show up in -help etc.
291 - iso14755 51 mode window now displays row and column.
292 - implement a -visual switch and move that and -depth to frills, also
293 warn when we can't get the requested visual.
294 - new env variable: RXVT_PERL_LIB.
295 - allocate all screen memory in one go and let the virtual memory
296 subsystem sort it out. this simplifies code, improves access
297 locality, saves a bit of ram and makes things a bit faster, too.
298 - remove support for libafterimage.
299 - update to CVS version of libev, for a whopping 11kb size decrease.
300 - do not ship yet another copy of ecb.h, use the one in libev or
301 libptytty instead.
302 - selectively mark some methods as cache-hot/cache cold, which
303 might speed up execution but definitely decreases codesize.
304 - Fix regression that prevented the scrollbar trough color
305 from being applied (reported by Derek B. Noonburg).
306 - Fix the scrollbar size for rxvt style (patch by Mark Robinson).
307
3089.15 Sat Jan 21 13:36:56 CET 2012
309 - remove "using namespace std" because clang erroneously
310 thinks thats an error.
311 - finding a matching font (e.g. bold version of the base font)
312 was broken (reported by Eamon Walker).
313 - fix parsing of bg image styles. They really work now.
314 - fix blurring of bg image borders when using xrender.
315 - fix xrender blur on common xrender implementations that do
316 not behave correctly when the same pixmap is used as source
317 and destination in composite operations.
318 - fix regression that caused tabbed to compute the wrong size
319 for tabs.
320 - allow again an empty suffix in a keysym list spec (patch by
321 Sung Pae).
322 - unsupported support for sun studio's CC added.
323 - fix -C option on solaris.
324
3259.14 Wed Dec 21 18:40:33 CET 2011
326 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: the urxvtd default socket path is now
327 $HOME/.urxvt/urxvtd-<nodename>.
328 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: the "list" keysym expansion now requires
329 loading of the "keysym-list" perl extension.
330 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: A scale value of 0 in the bg image
331 geometry no longer enables tiling, so as to make it possible
332 to disable both scaling and tiling.
333 - overhaul of the bg image operations. The old operations have
334 been deprecated in favour of elementary operations and
335 styles built on top of the new operations and scale/position
336 settings. (Emanuele Giaquinta).
337 - support for libafterimage is deprecated and will be removed
338 in the next release.
339 - fix a crash caused by selection_check not properly resetting
340 out-of-bounds mark values (can happen when extending a selection
341 while scrolling up in curses programs for example).
342 - do not move the selection when scrolling up and the selection is
343 outside the scrolling region (Emanuele Giaquinta).
344 - fix display of bold bright black (reported by Ben Winslow).
345 - fix memory leak when urgentOnBell is set (patch by Nathaniel
346 Filardo).
347 - fix a redraw bug that occurs when a bg pixmap is set and the
348 wm does not honour the size hints set by urxvt. Now urxvt
349 forces the size of the terminal window to be a multiple of
350 the cell size.
351 - sanitise the argument of SD / SU sequences. Fixes a possible
352 crash when the argument is big enough, red hat bug #711137
353 (Emanuele Giaquinta).
354 - correctly split long lines when scrolling.
355 - urxvt now looks for perl extensions also in $HOME/.urxvt/ext.
356 - add bell-command perl extension to execute a command when a
357 bell event occurs (Ryan Kavanagh).
358 - add set_urgency perl binding to set/reset the urgency hint.
359 - consume button release event in matcher (exg).
360 - keyboard accessible list of recent matches in matcher
361 (Bob Farrell).
362 - properly process 'keysym' sequences in tabbed when using
363 'focus follows mouse' and the focus is on the main window
364 but not on the active terminal window (patch by Martin
365 Pohlack).
366 - support for the freedesktop startup-notification protocol (patch by
367 Michael Stapelberg).
368 - the direction of VPR and VPB commands was reversed.
369 - fix alignment of inherited root pixmap when it is a different size
370 than the root window and the terminal window is off the left or top
371 edge (Mikachu).
372 - make $self visible in "eval perl expression" popup action, also
373 handle exceptions better.
374 - fix parsing of '-e' when it occurs as an option argument, such as in
375 'urxvt -title -e' (Emanuele Giaquinta).
376
3779.12 Wed Jun 29 14:34:28 CEST 2011
378 - fix regression in processing of SelectionNotify events.
379 urxvt would fail to request a selection if the owner did not
380 support the UTF8_STRING target.
381 - fix rendering of double width chars in certain circumstances, more
382 likely to happen if urxvt is compiled with 256 colors support as
383 urxvt runs out of fonts much earlier then. Fixes gentoo bug #358151
384 (Emanuele Giaquinta).
385 - restore support for 'list' syntax in keysym resources (requested by Sung Pae).
386 - always premultiply colour values - while this increases differences between
387 core fonts and xft, it is "more correct" in practical situations.
388 - disable PTYTTY_REENTRANT option - not needed for urxvt and saves a bit of code.
389 - remove lucidatypewriter from the list of fallback fonts, it was the only
390 non-xft non-cellfont in the list anyway.
391
3929.11 Mon May 2 10:34:46 CEST 2011
393 - fix compilation on GNU/Hurd, debian bug #624736.
394 - remove 'list' syntax for keysym resources, as it serves no useful purpose.
395 If you need it, poke us and provide a use case.
396 - fix alpha channel support. Premultiply alpha in colours if the visual
397 supports an alpha channel, as xrender expects premultiplied alpha
398 (Emanuele Giaquinta).
399 - fix reply to a selection request sent by an obsolete client
400 such as syncterm (patch by Marcin Cieslak).
401 - fix crash when the window is resized and the overlay is active
402 (Emanuele Giaquinta, reported by Ryan Kavanagh).
403 - match character-wise rather than byte-wise in selection
404 extension again. perl 5.8.9+ is required to avoid extreme
405 slowdowns. Fixes debian bugs #523072, #616463.
406 - fix a possible crash if the INCR transfer process for a
407 selection property timeouts and at least one chunk is
408 received. (Emanuele Giaquinta)
409 - work around a memory corruption bug in xorg's XrmSetDatabase (apparently
410 broken since http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/xorg-commit-diffs/2004-March/000239.html).
411 - fix memory corruption bug when custom command sequences bound to keys
412 were injected into an already-full pty input buffer.
413 - gdk-pixbuf is autodetected by default and preferred over libafterimage.
414 - do not prepend a newline to the selection text when the starting line
415 of the selection is not highlighted (Emanuele Giaquinta).
416 - don't swap perl env with real env, save and restore it, just in case
417 we ever get recursive perl invocations. also saves a bit of codespace
418 with gcc.
419 - fix various memory leaks (Emanuele Giaquinta).
420 - fix typo in kIC terminfo capability, debian bug #446444.
421 - document 'thickness' resource.
422 - fix debian bug #504817, to the extent possible.
423 - try to detect byte order at compile time, saves a couple of
424 hundred bytes, if your compiler is smart enough.
425 - add support for previewing the pasted data in confirm-paste
426 (Emanuele Giaquinta).
427 - added "newlines to spaces" option in selection-popup.
428 - actually enabled solaris event ports backend (was disabled by accident).
429 - revert to 38400 baud max., mission accomplished.
430 - no longer create scary "pty_fill: PLEASE REPORT" message, instead,
431 silently drain the input (problem is well understood now).
432 - no longer swallow rob nation's own graphics mode commands.
433
4349.10 Mon Dec 13 17:43:52 CET 2010
435 - the "schmorp=north korea dickey=south korea" release.
436 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: make OSC 20 simpler and more correct
437 (Emanuele Giaquinta).
438 - if options were compiled out, this could lead to the option
439 count to be defined wrongly. This is likely behind the
440 failures with gcc 4.5.
441 - explicitly depend on fontconfig and xrender when xft support
442 is enabled. Although the public Xft api uses types from
443 both, in Xft 2.2.0 these libs are private
444 dependencies only thanks to an idiotic behaviour of
445 pkg-config that was added to workaround cases like this one.
446 Fixes linking when using GNU ld with --as-needed or GNU gold
447 (based on patch by Jan Palus).
448 - fix minor memory leaks in urxvt and urxvtd.
449 - fix regression in urxvtd that prevented options from being correctly
450 set (reported by Michal Vaner).
451 - implement xterm's horribly broken 1005 mouse reporting mode,
452 and an alternative 1015 mode that works in non-utf-8 locales
453 and has fewer limitations.
454 - fix a possible bug where mouse notifications didn't work after
455 startup for the upper left corner.
456 - implement our own pixbuf to pixmap rendering to get rid of
457 dependency on buggy gdk-pixbuf-xlib. Only truecolor visuals
458 are supported (Emanuele Giaquinta).
459 - apply tinting before shading when both operations are requested.
460 Previously they were intermixed when lightening and the result
461 was inaccurate and confusing. Note that now a black tint yields a
462 completely black image, regardless of shading (Emanuele Giaquinta).
463 - avoid spurious redraws of the bg image when bg is transparent or
464 when using 'root' mode (Emanuele Giaquinta).
465 - fix build on XFree86.
466 - dynamically number options according to compiletime requirements.
467 For the extra saved byte. Or so. Yay.
468 - start options at one, not zero. Wastes a bit per terminal. Maybe.
469 saves 50 instruction bytes. Possibly.
470
4719.09 Sat Nov 13 01:39:07 CET 2010
472 - NOTICE: this release updates terminfo/termcap.
473 - the bestest release ever.

476 - add support for using gdk-pixbuf as image backend (Emanuele Giaquinta).
477 - cleanup and minor fixes of the image code (Emanuele Giaquinta).
478 - new perl extension "confirm-paste" (Emanuele Giaquinta).
479 - new on_tt_paste perl hook and tt_paste perl binding (Emanuele Giaquinta).
480 - new on_bell perl hook (Emanuele Giaquinta).
481 - searchable-scrollback no longer ignores the first line
482 (Emanuele Giaquinta).
483 - properly set VSTATUS in termios for *BSD (reported by Ed Schouten).
484 - fix utmpx detection on upcoming FreeBSD 9.
485 - Use COMPOUND_TEXT encoding for WM_NAME/WM_ICON_NAME value when it
486 is not fully convertible to STRING (patch by James Cloos).
487 - fix a buffer overflow that would cause wrong key sequences to
488 be generated for numpad keys (introduced in 9.05).
489 - fix definition of sgr0 to work around limitations in luit.
490 - extend ISO 14755 5.4 mode to also print the font name of the
491 characters other than first one in the selected cell
492 (Emanuele Giaquinta).
493 - new iso14755 option to disable ISO 14755 at runtime
494 (Emanuele Giaquinta).
495 - make sure pagewise scrolling scrolls at least one line
496 (found by Mikachu).
497 - remove deprecated OSC 18 / 19 and make OSC 17 / 19 apply to
498 highlightColor / highlightTextColor (Emanuele Giaquinta).
499 - add highlightTextColor resource to change the foreground colour of
500 highlighted characters (Emanuele Giaquinta).
501 - make highlightColor apply also to selected cells with reverse video
502 but not to non selected cells with reverse video (Emanuele Giaquinta).
503 - remove colorRV resource (it was enabled only with frills off).
504 - fix numlock handling, the most longstanding bug to date (Emanuele Giaquinta).
505 - reduce the number of custom bits to 4, to make room
506 for 256 colours.
507 - add support for 256 colors (Emanuele Giaquinta, Marc Lehmann).
508 - add rxvt-unicode-256color terminfo and use it by default in 256 colors mode.
509 - update rxvt-unicode terminfo to state 7744 colour pairs to cover all
510 88*88 possible pairs.
511 - actually added macosx-clipboard-native, which should have been in
512 the 9.07 release but had been forgotten.
513 - fix hang if DECAWM is not set and there are not enough columns to insert a
514 character (Emanuele Giaquinta).
515 - cub1 ("backspace") will now respect wrapping when past the rightmost column,
516 working around a shortcoming of most tty line discipline's line editing.
517 - add support for grabbing the clipboard selection and extend
518 selection{_clear,_grab,} perl bindings to optionally work
519 on the clipboard selection (based on patch by Dana Jansens).
520 - no longer force CERASE to BACKSPACE - use the system default. affects
521 default value for VERASE only when no compatible setting for
522 backspacekey was given.
523 - use higher than 38400 baudrate setting, if detected.
524 - erase screen would clear to the wrong background when blinking
525 was enabled (which selects high intensity under some circumstances).
526 - scr_kill_char didn't touch the line.
527 - upgrade and port to libev-4.01.
528 - enabled solaris event ports and kqueue backends (if available).
529
5309.07 Wed Dec 30 07:07:18 CET 2009
531 - port to glibc-2.10 changes (strchr etc. returning const char *
532 in C++), based on patches by Milos Jakubicek and Oliver Mader.
533 - the binary search algorithm to find precomposed characters
534 was faulty, skipping some possible combinations (found by
535 Mikachu).
536 - new -letterspace option, patch by Mark H. Wilkinson.
537 - enable --mlock option for urxvt with frills on
538 systems supporting it (patch by Russell Harmon).
539 - urxvt did not compile without frills enabled
540 (analysed by Matthew Rosewarne).
541 - correctly reset the mbstate after an illegal
542 input sequence when handling terminal output (Emanuele Giaquinta).
543 - avoid redrawing wide characters with combining enabled on every
544 refresh (reported by Mikachu).
545 - fix a typo preventing the ISO-646.1991 character set from being
546 recognized (http://achurch.org/patch-pile/).
547 - better warning for x11 font encoding detection failures, also,
548 try to deduce encoding from both font properties and name
549 (adapted from http://achurch.org/patch-pile/).
550 - resizing the window with the scrollbar disabled via the escapes
551 sequence could make the window bigger again (Mikachu).
552 - make sure the alignment for fd passing control messages
553 is correct and work around some NetBSD issues (Taylor R Campbell).
554 - update to libptytty 1.3.
555 - replace macosx-clipboard by a nicer version by Reza Jelveh, and move
556 the old version to macosx-clipboard-native.
557 - document the -uc option (Emanuele Giaquinta).
558 - assertions in libev are now enabled depending on frills.
559 - update AnyEvent implementation to version 5.23 API.
560 - work around arrogant bsd idiocies again: netbsd spills the default
561 namespace with lots of symbols "for gnu/gcc compatibility" even
562 though neither of them does it, and then calls the rest of the world
563 in need of fixing. go figure.
564 - on_keyboard_command is on_user_command (patch by Michael Witten).
565 - setting the selection from perl will now reset the selection screen
566 to the current screen. the screen can be manipulated using
567 the new ->selection_screen method.
568 - implement --enable-assert configure option and get rid of DEBUG_STRICT
569 (based on patch by Emanuele Giaquinta).

571 - allow `xxx' quoting style for perl selection.
572 - upgrade to libev-3.9 prerelease.
573 - updated compose tables to unicode 5.2.0.
574

576 - NOTICE: this release updates terminfo/termcap.
577 - updates libev to 3.48.
578 - the aterm code now frees the as visual and image manager objects
579 when a window was closed.
580 - do not (wrongly) adjust the virtual line length inside
581 scr_insdel_chars/ERASE (Miroslav Lichvar).
582 - fix an issue where wide tab characters caused character shifts
583 when part of them was deleted (tracked down by Miroslav Lichvar).
584 - artificially enlargen the previous character at the end of a line
585 when trying to output a character that doesn't fit. looks ugly, but
586 makes copy&paste work.
587 - remove bogus "setuid/setgid security issues" from rxvt.1.pod, they
588 no longer apply.
589 - the urgency hint is now cleared on both focus in and focus out.
590 - cache urgency hint locally to avoid server rtt on every focus change.
591 - perl 5.10 needs PERL_SYS_INIT3 on hppa.
592 - ignore byte-order marks and do not treat them like combining characters.
593 - fix build issue when CURSOR_BLINK is not defined (Emanuele Giaquinta).
594 - do some µ-optimisations to the character fast path.
595 - use a less cunning, but more robust algorithm to avoid one terminal
596 monopolising the whole process by outputting a lot of text.
597 - try to work around linux first breaking sched_yield and now breaking
598 the only known workaround.
599 - new option -icon to set _NET_WM_ICON (based on patch by Frank Schmitt).
600 - initialise the as visual only on demand, instead of unconditionally,
601 to save memory in the common case of not using visual gimmicks.
602 - try to work around bugs in a few wm's that erroneously resize
603 client windows on hint property updates by temporarily
604 disabling size hints.
605 - implement the DECSTR soft reset sequence and use it for tput init,
606 and make hard RIS and DECSTR both reset more private modes, such
607 as mouse reporting.
608 - redundantly clear mouse reporting and a few other states in
609 tput init/tput reset, for older urxvts.
610 - partial/full clear screens did cause flickering and possibly pixel
611 droppings when urxvt viewed the scrollback buffer.
612 - use current rendition style in DCH sequence.
613 - the 132/80 mode switch no longer forces a screen reset.
614 - add an osc sequence to change the border colour (Emanuele Giaquinta).
615 - new perl extension "overlay-osc", for status displays and the like.
616 - fix some minor cursor drawing issues with overlays by allowing
617 overlays to modify screen flags (to disable the cursor themselves).
618 - work around programs not restoring rstyle before rmcup
619 (analysed by Miroslav Lichvar).
620
6219.05 Sun Jun 15 20:09:20 CEST 2008
622 - new option --cd/chdir to set the starting working directory.
623 - tabbed extension now starts in the "correct" working directory.
624 - work around fedora 9 providing isastream but not the relevant
625 header file for it (report by Tuncer Ayaz).
626 - upgrade libev, fixing a bug in the select backend.
627 with more than 31 file descriptors on non-linux 64 bit systems.
628 - correctly reset the multibyte state to the initial one
629 after EILSEQ (patch by Neil Booth). This fixes the
630 issue of rxvt-unicode not properly displaying text after an illegal
631 sequence on NetBSD and probably other systems.
632 - more intelligent property handling with -pe tabbed, works around
633 broken window managers (kwm et al.), saves bandwidth and should
634 help working window managers as well.
635 - made tabs moveable (based on a patch by Petr Machata).
636 - implement ESC [ 3 K as a more rational alternative to ESC [ 0 K.
637 - support relative paths for RXVT_SOCKET in urxvtd.
638 - the tabbed extension now blindly copies over all (rxvt-) resources
639 from the toplevel window to the children.
640 - better diagnostic on 0x0 window geometries.
641 - update AnyEvent API to version 3.4 and above.
642 - document the default value of :0 for DISPLAY.
643 - rename perl method XChangeWindowProperty to XChangeProperty.
644
6459.02 Tue Jan 29 11:58:36 CET 2008
646 - the "exg makes everybody happy" release.
647 - fix build with !xft.
648 - always compile in plain style scrollbar (simplifies code and looks great).
649
6509.01 Sat Jan 26 20:49:27 CET 2008
651 - be more aggressive about handling X events, this seems to be required
652 with newer xlibs (should fix the "screen stays black until event is
653 received" problem, again :)
654 - add buffered resource to control xft double-buffering.
655
6569.0 Fri Jan 25 19:34:04 CET 2008
657 - fix a crash bug where urxvtd would crash when urxvtc was called
658 with wrong arguments (I wish debian maintainers in general would
659 report bugs and their proposed fixes to the original package maintainers
660 instead of sitting on them for good measure to see if anybody notices).
661 - drawing xft compose characters was causing garbage to be drawn.
662 - correctly clear xft character background in all cases.
663 - implement bracketed paste mode (xterm private mode 2004).
664 - improve documentation on alpha channel handling, make urxvt
665 work better on servers lacking the RENDER extension when alpha
666 channels or background images are used.
667 - check for refresh after initialising to avoid staying blank
668 till the first event arrives. or so.
669 - the FORCE_UNBUFFERED_XFT feature macro works again.
670 - continuously update transparency while moving/resizing now.
671 - OSC 39/49 are deprecated and aliased to OSC 10/11.
672 - cub1 now acts as advertised (and ignores the "wrapped" state).
673 - the 132/80 mode switch now forces a height of 24, too, and
674 resets the terminal.
675 - scrollbar code cleanups.
676 - stopping children is no longer confused with children exiting.
677 - removed (undocumented) #aarrggbb format.
678 - updated to libev 3.0.
679
6808.9 Mon Dec 24 07:51:40 CET 2007
681 - fix the issue where urxvtd would not immediately close a window
682 when the command exited but only on the next X event.
683 - changed terminfo file not to use application keypad mode.
684 - fix the issue where making a selection in one urxvtd window
685 would not clear it visually in another.
686 - fix an issue of urxvt not getting background pixmap updates
687 and flickering after bg pixmap changes (reported by Mikachu).
688 - fix redraw bug in xterm scrollbar with -sr (reported by Mikachu).
689 - correctly provide dependencies for libev (µikachu).
690 - minor code reorganisations and cleanups.
691 - be more robust in case the urxvt-popup extension cannot be loaded.
692
6938.8 Sat Dec 15 19:40:39 CET 2007
694 - option -C was aliased to all unsupported options, activating
695 options that shouldn't be compiled in, leading to interesting
696 effects.
697 - updated libev, working around a bug in linux 2.4, curing the
698 symptom of urxvt not closing its window on shell exit. also
699 fixes a problem with urxvt not refreshing.
700 - the text blink callback was called even when no blinking
701 text was visible.
702 - pre-8.4 slipwheeling behaviour has been reinstated, with
703 some minor improvements.
704 - streamlined x events processing to only flush once per
705 display and not once per terminal window.
706 - quite a bit of minor code cleanups and codesize optimisations.
707
7088.7 Sun Nov 25 10:23:49 CET 2007
709 - update libev with an important bugfix that would cause crashes
710 when closing windows (when using rxvtd, and update is recommended).
711 - do not compile in the block builtin graphics with --disable-frills.
712
7138.6 Fri Nov 23 14:10:57 CET 2007
714 - upgrade libev to disable kqueue on anything but netbsd as it
715 seems to be broken everywhere else w.r.t. ptys.
716 - allow for spurious event notifications, as at least epoll and
717 especially solaris ports like to lie about them (symptoms:
718 urxvt "hangs" until there is some x11 related activity).
719 - -keysym command line options are now subjected to xlib parsing.
720 - add 'xrm' option analogous to Xt one.
721
7228.5a Wed Nov 21 10:16:33 CET 2007
723 - make it compile with --disable-transparency.
724
7258.5 Wed Nov 21 05:19:20 CET 2007
726 - expect major portability issues in this release: please test and report.
727 - converted from the veritable io manager event loop to
728 the high performance libev (http://software.schmorp.de/pkg/libev).
729 - minor tuning to the perl selection (include single words and more quoting chars).
730 - fix memory leak in pixmap code.
731 - fix a serious bug while setting the XIM destroy callback
732 on (typical) 64 bit systems.
733 - automove-background functionality re-implemented internally using :root op in pixmap
734 geometry string. For example: rxvt -pixmap "image.jpg;:root"
735 - do not link rxvtc against every lib on the planet anymore.
736 - parallel builds should work once more.
737
7388.4 Sat Oct 27 14:02:13 CEST 2007
739 - overhaul of the transparency/pixmap code (sasha).
740 - fix possible race between visual bell and poweron.
741 (reported by Martin von Gagern, gentoo?).
742 - urxvt -e no longer crashes the child.
743 - fixed some minor memleaks on incorrect usage or
744 missing DISPLAY.
745 - implement xterm 1002/1003 mouse tracking modes (exg).
746 - source code organisational cleanups (exg).
747 - updated io_manager.
748
7498.3 Wed Aug 1 20:21:31 CEST 2007
750 - new option: skipScroll/-ss, enabled by default.
751 - go with the times and expect x11 library files in /usr/lib, not
752 /usr/X11R6/lib.
753 - initial transparency improvement/afterimage support
754 patch by Sasha Vasko.
755 - add urgentOnBell resource to set the urgency hint
756 (patch by Philip Paeps).
757 - do not process focus events caused by grabs
758 (patch by Mikachu).
759 - add iso14755_52 resource to disable iso14755 5.2 (exg).
760 - add binding for backspace in iso14755 5.1 to remove the last
761 digit (exg).
762 - better option handling, support more than 30 options (exg).
763 - nuke reconf script, serves no purpose anymore.
764 - fixed and documented matcher/on_user_command processing in matcher
765 extension (tpope).
766 - compile out of the box on Solaris 10 (exg).
767 - fix MappingNotify events (reported by Stephan Walter).
768 - zero-initialise mwmhints, this seems to solve all sorts of minor
769 problems.
770
7718.2 Sat Feb 17 21:35:28 CET 2007
772 - fix make depend in src/, reported by exg.
773 - fixed typo in urxvt::GET_CUSTOM, causing the result to be wrong.
774 (patch by Sergey Vlasov).
775 - unbundled iom perl interface somewhat.
776 - scrollbar-xterm now uses the selected scrollColor instead of fg
777 (found by Aiviru).
778 - disabled linux kernel bug workaround again: disabling it gives
779 a 50% speed hit on affected machines, while enabling it gives
780 a similar speed hit to screen, which is likely the more common
781 case to work around for :/
782 - urxvt::rend2mask perl function, and utilization of it by matcher
783 (patch by Moshe Kamensky).
784 - use perl:matcher on a keysym to open most recently displayed URL.
785 - with matcher, when multiple patterns match, last wins, not first.
786 - fix make and make install with srcdir != builddir (exg).
787 - updated bundled libptytty to fix a bug where the tty would be kept
788 open (see the libptytty ChangeLog for details).
789 - delay setting the IUTF8 flag to after the tty settings have been
790 set so its value does not get lost (reported and analysed by Andrei
791 Paskevich).
792 - rip out support for obsolete sgtty.h interface.
793 - rip out support for non-POSIX termios variants.
794 - update libptytty.
795 - update iom.C, make it call ptytty::sanitise_stdfd on init.
796 - when !XFT, change rounding of colours to use a less correct formula to
797 meet user expectancies (#aaa becomes #a000a000a000 not #9f9f9f9f9f9f).
798 - change the starting offset of the pixmap set with backgroundPixmap
799 from (50,50) to (0,0) (exg).
800 - fix a typo in button_release, now meta-button2 request the value of
801 the Clipboard selection as it should (patch by Serge Koksharov).
802 - fix a bug in drawing a cell with a nonspacing char when using an xft
803 font with inheritPixmap and tintColor (exg).
804
8058.1 Thu Dec 7 22:27:25 CET 2006
806 - ケリスマスプレゼント - zomg!!1, it's too early!!!
807 - fix the assumption that chars < 256 are single-width. Now
808 only assume this for codepoints 32 to 126 (reported by Dai.H.).
809 - $term->strwidth returned wide chars as width 1, because some jerk
810 confused min and max. Fixing this also fixes xim-onthespot.
811 Reported by Takano Akio.
812 - secondaryScroll is now enabled by default (as per the manpage),
813 reported by exg.
814 - correct the description of [percent]color rgba format in the manpage.
815 - incorporated macosx-clipboard extension by Samuel Ljungkvist.
816 - ignore (some) useless focus events (reported by mmc).
817 - updated compose table to unicode 5.0.0.
818
8198.0 Thu Nov 2 18:35:19 CET 2006
820 - combining characters cleared the area instead of creating an overlay,
821 thus losing the ability to draw combining characters properly in most
822 circumstances (reported by exg).
823 - specified fonts were incorrectly morphed to bold/italic according to the
824 basefont, even if explicitly specified (tracked down by tpope).
825 - fixed urxvt::strwidth to calculate width in the same way as screen.C.
826 - fix a crash caused by passing negative widths to overlay functions.
827 - added 'matcher' extension by tpope, replacing the mark-urls extension.
828 - improve url regex to match anything www.* (tpope).
829 - fixed bug with outline cursor color being wrong after xft fonts.
830 - update to libptytty-1.0.
831 - give proper diagnostic when RXVT_SOCKET is too long instead of
832 corrupting the stack (patch by exg).
833 - display current terminal locale in option menu.
834 - urxvtd no longer crashes when the client sends an inaccessible
835 working directory (reported by Roland Baer, possibly fixes gentoo
836 bug #143985).
837 - fixed many minor issues reported by Roland Baer.
838 - Leonid Khramov spotted a minor glitch in rxvtfont.C that
839 should not have any consequences, but was buggy nonetheless.
840 - manpage fix by exg.
841
8427.9 Mon Aug 7 18:16:07 CEST 2006
843 - fix the crashing bug people encountered with 7.8 + urxvtd + perl
844 + transparency. Ought to fix debian bug #380348.
845 - fix urxvtc.1.pod: it actually claimed -pty-fd would not work. But
846 it does! :->
847 - rxvt_fatal() in case the locale string is too long for our static buffer.
848 - fixed many, many, typos in the manpages (patch supplied by ves).
849
8507.8 Mon Jul 17 21:00:46 CEST 2006
851 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: this version will always read ~/.Xdefaults,
852 earlier versions only read it if display-resources (usually from
853 .Xresources) are not set. This avoids the #1 FAQ ("why isn't my
854 resource used") and seems to be logical behaviour, too. .Xdefaults
855 resources have a lower priority than display-specific resources.
856 - add "kuake" perl extension that does a similar thing to the kuake
857 terminal emulator (see man urxvtperl).
858 - use less "correct" color scaling that is compatible with libX11 and
859 Xft (avoids off-by-one colors resulting in striped backgrounds).
860 - the "depth" resource is now respected.
861 - preset the searchable-scrollback pattern with "(?i)" to default search
862 to case-insensitivity. Will automatically be cleared when typing an
863 uppercase character.
864 - add FORCE_UNBUFFERED_XFT define to features.h.
865 - re-enabled highlightcolor support with --enable-frills, based on
866 a patch by Martin Stubenschrott.
867 - double-buffered xft drawing did suffer from pixel offset issues
868 when pixmap transparency was enabled.
869 - strategically add # to the url-match regexes, as we really want to
870 match common URIs not common URLs. Reported by Aaron Griffin.
871 - moved on_osc_seq to on_osc_seq_perl and added a more
872 generic osc_seq.
873 - fix a bug causing double callback invocations when perl hooks
874 were invoked recursively.
875 - the automove-background extension now properly works when the
876 pixmap gets reset with an osc sequence (sqweek).
877 - selection-pastebin did not work properly with non-latin1-characters.
878 - apply colorUL only when the text colour is the default fg
879 (patch by Wu Fengguang).
880 - removed rxvtlib.h from the tarball, it had no reason to be there
881 (spotted by Decklin Foster).
882 - fix compiling with TRANSPARENT but !XPM_BACKGROUND, as reported
883 by omatunto_.
884 - slap in a using namespace std, might help on platforms that don't
885 follow C++ closely enough.
886 - fix mailto url regex, spotted within milliseconds by Jost Krieger.
887 - applied fade_color_update_func.patch by WU Fengguang.
888 - fix a bug where (due to an optimisation in av_delete), hiding the
889 bottom-most overlay would hide two overlays.
890
8917.7 Tue Feb 21 12:32:49 CET 2006
892 - use double-buffered drawing (xft fonts only). On many driver/hardware
893 combination this actually increases xft drawing speed, at the expense
894 of more network bandwidth and slight nausea on the side of the author.
895 - readline perl extension now requires shift-click instead of a normal
896 click, and eats the click.
897 - tabbed perl extension now supports -e.
898 - disabled graphics-exposures on the main drawing GC, report any
899 refresh bugs please.
900 - improve property handling for -pe tabbed: avoid unnecessary property
901 changes (for kde's benefit) at the expense of extra round-trips,
902 improve size hint setting.
903 - modified XIM according to a patch sent by Takano Akio that sets
904 the preedit rectangle for OverTheSpot, which helps some input methods
905 to correctly position their preedit window.
906 - un-optimise the line clearing on newly scrolled-in lines a bit: the
907 former reasoning was that any fg colour on default bg looks the same
908 in empty spaces, but that's not true when reversing (e.g. selection),
909 so also check for matching fg colours. This fixes the problem where
910 selecting newly scrolled-in lines would exhibit wrong colours.
911 - fix a bug in the perl interface causing focus in events to generate
912 focus out perl events, causing bad focus effects with -pe tabbed.
913 - fix a race resulting in a crash on exiting.
914 - fix a with --disable-xft that caused xfreecolors to be called on
915 colors never allocated, resulting in aborts (reported by Paco-Paco).
916 - resources on non-initial screens weren't refetched correctly
917 (reported by Paco-Paco).
918 - fix a bug in xcopyarea pass and _disable_ it, as it seems not to be
919 working in either rxvt-unicode nor in the original rxvt.
920 - removed undocumented -exec alias for the -e option.
921
9227.6 Fri Feb 10 08:52:36 CET 2006
923 - changed interpretation of [alpha] colour prefix.
924 - +option now really sets the option to default, instead of using the
925 resource value.
926 - options that require an argument now really _require_ an argument.
927 - the tabbed extension now forwards focus and key events to the
928 relevant tab window.
929 - tab colours are now configurable and have sensible defaults
930 (initial patch by hednod).
931 - option menu is extendable, readline, selection and
932 selection-autotransform can now be disabled/enabled at runtime.
933 - forcing a configure event to tabbed subwindows with -pe tabbed, for
934 the benefit of automove-background.
935 - the automove-background extension added a wrong constant offset.
936 - force refresh of XA_RESOURCE_STRING on virtual reconnect.
937 - return exit status 2 in urxvtc when urxvtd couldn't be contacted.
938 - the linux yield hack is back, now using usleep, and enabled only on
939 __linux__.
940 - further round trip eliminations in the !XFT case by remembering
941 the colour components.
942 - plain scrollbar works better with -sr.
943 - fixed half-shadow scrollbar look.
944 - more colour rtt optimisations.
945 - properly(?) free colours on window close.
946 - reorganised the FAQ into multiple sections.
947 - add ISO646.1991-IRV to the list of supported codesets.
948 - minor libptytty update.
949
9507.5 Tue Jan 31 15:15:43 CET 2006
951 - further improvements to the careful mode detection, and font width
952 detection:
953 - fully double-wide fonts will now be correctly treated,
954 - overlap detection was improved.
955 - detect totally broken fonts (usually synthesized by xft).
956 - careful mode forced refresh sometimes clashed with blinking,
957 causing unnecessary screen redraws.
958 - better handling of XFT combining characters.
959 - enable antialiasing for some replacement fonts, as they
960 might get used for other encodings which really need it, later.
961 - remove spacing=100 from all default fonts, as this creates totally
962 weird spacing (5 times normal) with xft.
963 - removed iso10646 fallback, as xorgs iso10646 encoded fonts are mostly
964 broken.
965 - removed gnu unifont fallback, all combining characters are broken.
966 - replace named colours by xorg's rgb.txt equivalents, to
967 reduce round trip time on startup, and short-cut allocation
968 of rgb:rr/gg/bb for xft.
969 - short-cut allocation of rgb values in the xlib case
970 (patch by Paco-Paco).
971 - overhauled color management: smaller codesize, alpha support.
972 - support "rgba:rrrr/gggg/bbbb/aaaa" color specifications and
973 an "[alpha]" prefix.
974 - try to work around Xft and Xrender forcing everything to be 100%
975 transparent. Long Live Xft!
976 - do not include X11/Intrinsic.h anymore, directly use
977 Xlib/Xutil/Xresource directly.
978 - try to find a nearest matching color when color allocation fails
979 on a pseudocolor screen.
980 - SYNCCVS: compared to rxvt-cvs 2006-01-28, no relevant changes.
981 - fix version report (DA) (which was unfortunately broken).
982 - changed version number report again, now to emulate xterm closer.
983 - added the OSC sequence 702 to detect the urxvt version number.
984 - small configure updates.
985 - further RTT optimisations.
986 - backported clean-up patches for makefiles and documentation from
987 the debian package.
988 - updated doc/rxvt-unicode.spec file. It's still not maintained here,
989 but much newer than the old one.
990
9917.4 Sat Jan 28 15:26:27 CET 2006
992 - screen background wasn't always erased properly when scrolling,
993 - re-enabled clearing optimisation disabled in 7.4pre.
994 - small configure updates for libptytty.
995 - fixed version options: line output.
996 - removed stoopid debugging message left in the code.
997
9987.3 Wed Jan 25 22:47:35 CET 2006
999 - don't let iso14755 or mouse reporting get into the way of perl
1000 (could lead to global grabs never being cleared).
1001 - experimental OnTheSpot editing support (-pe xim-onthespot).
1002 - moved Shift-Button2 paste combination to Meta-Button2.
1003 - the cutchars resource will now be respected and used by the
1004 selection extension.
1005 - added the "remote-clipboard" extension which just runs external
1006 commands to fetch and store the selection data.
1007 - added -depth switch that tries to get a different visual depth
1008 than the default (replaces the old PREFER_24_BIT logic).
1009 - removed (unused) arabic presentation form composing sequences.
1010 - be more strict when deciding that a core font glyph is too wide and
1011 needs the careful rendering mode.
1012 - allow more leeway for italic fonts when deciding that a character is
1013 too wide and needs careful mode.
1014 - redraw even more characters around characters using careful mode.
1015 - made selection-pastebin fully asynchronous.
1016 - reduced number of server turnarounds at startup by allocating
1017 atoms only once per display.
1018 - renamed on_keyboard_command to on_user_command.
1019 - changed version sos (ESC [ > c) response to be more compatible with
1020 xterm.
1021
10227.2 Sun Jan 22 21:58:16 CET 2006
1023 - bugfix: urxvt (not urxvtd) did not correctly handle multiple
1024 environments necessary, which resulted in segfaults within
1025 getenv (reproducible: urxvt -fn 9x15, open a menu once,
1026 ctrl-shift-672c).
1027 - bugfix: the selection speedup in in 7.1 unfortunately caused
1028 non-ascii characters to enlarge/move the selection.
1029 - bugfix: resizing sometimes leaked lines from the secondary to
1030 the primary screen.
1031 - bugfix: reducing window size while large amounts of text were output
1032 could lead to an assertion failure.
1033 - added "tabbed" extension that provides a crude tabbed terminal.
1034 - added "readline" extension that allows cursor positioning
1035 via mouse clicks.
1036 - now it is possible to insert the value of the CLIPBOARD selection
1037 with shift - mouse button 2.
1038 - fixed the automove-background extension to ignore coordinates
1039 in non-synthetic events.
1040 - created a separate libpty for portable and secure
1041 pty/tty/utmp/wtmp/lastlog handling, and include it in rxvt-unicode.
1042 - the non-terminfo visual bell now works asynchronously, so
1043 continuous ASCI BELs in one terminal do no longer monopolise the
1044 whole urxvt[d] process.
1045 - support some *BSD makes (for the time being, gnu make is a safe bet).
1046 - work around bugs in FreeBSD's gcc.
1047 - implemented some *BSD fixes in configure.
1048 - removed support for obsolete offix dnd protocol.
1049
10507.1 Thu Jan 19 20:25:34 CET 2006
1051 - setuid/setgid operation is now _encouraged_: security has been
1052 improved by moving privileged operations into a separate process
1053 and permanently dropping privileges within the terminal. This
1054 makes it possible to remove security checks from the perl code
1055 and gives a much safer feeling when urxvt needs to run with
1056 special privileges.
1057 - perl taint checking disabled, as urxvt no longer runs setuid/setgid
1058 itself.
1059 - new perl extension automove-background that can be used to get
1060 the same effect as pseudo-transparency with any pixmap.
1061 - new perl extension example: perl/selection-pastebin, can be used to
1062 e.g. upload the selection to a webserver and generate a url, or
1063 similar stuff.
1064 - use the scrollback buffer even when the scroll region doesn't
1065 span the whole screen, as long as it starts at row 0. Helps
1066 for programs displaying a status line at the bottom.
1067 - selection popup now shows selection in dec/hex/oct.
1068 - perl/selection: matching on unicode characters in the selection
1069 code was O(n²), which equals infinity in some degenerate cases
1070 :-> Matching is now done on UTF-8, which makes it almost instant.
1071 - perl/selection, perl/selection-autotransform: regexes are now
1072 being interpreted in the locale urxvt was started.
1073 - implemented override-redirect option and enabled it on menus,
1074 as kwin puts our windows behind the terminal (what a shoddy wm).
1075 - fixed struct utmp check in configure for OpenBSD.
1076 - complete overhaul of the pty/utmp management stuff and configure
1077 (Emanuele Giaquinta=exg).
1078 - add tsl/fsl and related capabilities to the terminfo description,
1079 to set the window title.
1080 - swap the environment in some more cases. This hopefully fixes
1081 some segfaults that might be caused by xft asking for env variables
1082 at the wrong time.
1083 - removed src/strings.C and src/menubar.C. No menubar support
1084 anymore.
1085 - removed all traces of SMOOTH_REFRESH.
1086 - nuked QNX support.
1087 - made some fixes to xpm offset and scaling code.
1088 - perl-overlays and refresh hooks were not applied in correct order.
1089 - changed coordinate-system of view_start/nsaved to be top to bottom.
1090 - iom extended to support listening for child exits.
1091
10927.0 Fri Jan 13 14:02:18 CET 2006
1093 - added sections for DISTRIBUTION MAINTAINERS and about
1094 SETUID/SETGID to the FAQ.
1095 - selection, searchable-scrollback, selection-popup and
1096 option-popup extensions enabled by default.
1097 - increased xft drawing speed for problematic fonts. The effect
1098 will likely be small as 99% of the xft slowness is server-related.
1099 - perl: much increased functionality, better overlays, popup support
1100 and much much more.
1101 - perl: urxvt::line now can set via ->t and ->r.
1102 - perl: changed interpretation of --perl-ext-common and -pe.
1103 - perl: finally implemented --perl-eval.
1104 - perl: non-blocking anyevent support.
1105 - perl: run tainted and ignore perl-eval/perl-lib if started
1106 setuid/setgid.
1107 - free the resource database: this plugs a massive memory leak. As a
1108 side effect, it also gets rid of XGetDefault calls.
1109 - free one of the cursors, fixes a small memory leak.
1110 - built-in (as opposed to terminfos) visual bell was broken/too fast.
1111 - applied minor cleanups by Ladislav Michnovic.
1112 - applied pty handling cleanups and improvements (Emanuele Giaquinta).
1113 - mark-urls launch-on-click by jepler.
1114 - removed "small" resource parsing function, as it wasn't really
1115 compatible, and not really small either.
1116 - removed PATH_ENV and PATH file search support.
1117 - removed support for locale-specific app-defaults file.
1118 - fixed a bug where out-of-bounds colour sequences could lead
1119 to crashes.
1120 - limit colour changing to the standard 88 palette instead of all
1121 colours.
1122 - XTerm_Color01 sequence returned wrong results in query mode.
1123 - iom.C now checks against destructed io_manager when unregistering.
1124
11256.3 Wed Jan 4 22:37:10 CET 2006
1126 - SECURITY FIX: on systems using openpty, permissions were
1127 not correctly updated on the tty device and were left as
1128 world-readable and world-writable (likely in original rxvt,
1129 too), and were not restored properly. Affected are only
1130 systems where non-unix ptys were used (such as most BSDs, not
1131 GNU/Linux). (found, patched and debugged by Ryan Beasley).
1132 - meta8 support was forcefully enabled in most configurations.
1133 restored configurability of this (useless) feature (reported
1134 by Mikachu).
1135 - optionally embed a perl interpreter, which can be used for more
1136 intelligent/customized selection support, visual feedback,
1137 menus, tabs etc. See the the urxvtperl manpage, the -pe option,
1138 perl*-resources and keysym resources. Not everything is there yet.
1139 - try to be more clever about differing font sizes and their ascent.
1140 Not guaranteed to work, but works better in most cases now.
1141 - fix directory permissions on install.
1142 - implemented option to disable built-in line drawing characters
1143 and fall back to the font ones (patch by Martin Pohlack).
1144 - disabled sched_yield support: the linux version is just too useless
1145 (it schedules nice'd processes before the own one for extended
1146 periods). Too bad, it could reduce system time by a factor of 5 here.
