1TODO: underline cursor, simply using underline 1rxvt-unicode changelog <= google-friendly title
2TODO: better default settings for hangul: ex. 냻 2
322:32 <zrajm> I *really* like the pointerBlank feature -- though I'd like it to *only* 3TODO: harmonize --disable-options into position-dependent options.
4 hide the pointer when I hit a key, never on a timeout -- I kinda 4TODO: after requesting the selection and getting a timeout, no further requests will be sent.
5 expected that it would work this way if I set pointerBlankDelay to 0 but
6 that more or less turns the pointer completely off inside the urxvt
7 window.. not the behaviour I expected.
822:43 <zrajm> E.g. xterm has a couple of settings for when you select using
9 tripple-clicking (entire lines). I've become quite used to
10 "xterm*cutToBeginningOfLine: off" (which causes the first line to be
11 selected only from the beginning of the word under the cursor) and
12 "xterm*cutNewline: off" (which causes xterm not to include the newline
13 character of the last line selected) -- these are especially swell when
14 I select urls (which usually occur on a line by the
15TODO: custom keymap must not "overwrite" default keymap
16TODO: do font request caching, might help rxvtd on some machines
17TODO: safer command: keymap processing.
18TODO: "slow" rendering mode for bidi and scripts 5TODO: "slow" rendering mode for bidi and scripts
19TODO: read property sequence is broken with respect to utf-8 etc. 6TODO: read property sequence is broken with respect to utf-8 etc.
20WISH: keyboard modification via esc-sequences. 7TODO: http://www120.pair.com/mccarthy/nextstep/intro.htmld/Workspace.html is the correct nextstep look.
21WISH: line-rewrapping on resize
22WISH: searchable backlog
23WISH: meta-tagging of data by regex (my dream project)
24WISH: double-click: more intelligent (urls etc.)
25WISH: OnTheSpot editing, or maybe switch to miiiiiiif 8WISH: OnTheSpot editing, or maybe switch to miiiiiiif
26WISH: tabbed windows (hey, just use screen...)
27WISH: just for fun, do shade and tint with XRender. 9WISH: just for fun, do shade and tint with XRender.

11 - optionally embed a perl interpreter, which can be used for more
12 intelligent/customized selection support, visual feedback,
13 menus, tabs etc. See the the urxvtperl manpage, the -pe option,
14 perl*-resources and keysym resources.
15 - fix directory permissions on install.
16 - improved sched_yield support.
17 - meta8 support was forcefully enabled in most configurations,
18 restored configurability of this (useless) feature (reported
19 by Mikachu)
20
216.2 Mon Jan 2 16:03:01 CET 2006
22 - implemented intensityStyles option which enables/disables bold/blink
23 selecting high intensity foreground/background colours, suggested by
24 Chuck Blake.
25 - move iso14755 character feedback box out of the way if it would
26 obscure the mouse cursor position.
27 - replaced callback.h by a fixed version from gvpe that correctly
28 returns the callback result (affects new -pty-fd semantics in urxvtc
29 on a few architectures). Reported by darix.
30 - include one trailing space in rectangular selections to indicate
31 the inserted newline (yeah, weird, but visually more pleasing).
32 - try to use sched_yield to (drastically) improve terminal data
33 transfer efficiency.
34 - further minor cleanups.
35
366.1 Tue Dec 27 13:23:40 CET 2005
37 - update iso8859-7 table (euro and drachma round-trip et al.).
38 - fix a crash when the selection scrolls out of the scrollback
39 while the user still drags.
40 - selections that were partially scrolled out of the window were
41 not drawn correctly.
42 - lines newly scrolled in were not initialized properly, leading
43 to extremely long lines and (hopefully) some segfaults.
44 - iso14755 overlay position was wrong.
45 - iso14755 overlay now displays rendition info, too.
46 - use unicode white space class instead of hardcoded values for
47 stripping whitespace.
48 - do whitespace stripping on rectangular selections.
49 - slight cleanups in src/features.h.
50
516.0 Sat Dec 24 13:58:56 CET 2005
52 - make it compile without SMART_RESIZE again.
53 - enable slow link support by default.
54 - fix relative cursor-positioning not respecting scrolling regions
55 (also a bug in original rxvt).
56 - initialize termios structure to zero when fetching it fails
57 (see http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=84647 for a
58 partial patch).
59 - bump max columns/rows to 10000 each.
60 - bump max savelines to 10000000.
61 - -pty-fd now passes the urxvtc fd to the urxvtd process.
62 - avoid linking against -lnsl/-lsocket/-lxpg4 unless neccessary.
63 - major code cleanup (still not complete, though).
64 - implement -hold option.
65 - _major_ rewrite of internal buffer handling:
66 - re-flow on resize, lines get wrapped instead of winged.
67 - circular line buffer (substantially speeds up scrolling).
68 - slightly less code + data memory usage per terminal.
69 - slight overall speed improvements.
70 - considerably improved code clarity.
71 - partial-screen scrolls no longer end up in the scrollback
72 buffer.
73
745.9 Sat Dec 17 21:53:17 CET 2005
75 - fix a bug in the menu code of unknown impact, found by darix.
76 - clean up signal handling to be global, not per terminal
77 (matters only for rxvtd).
78 - fix small typoe in rxvt.1 (found by Mike Fabian).
79 - don't crash when broken xft/fontconfig/freetype versions return
80 bogus data, ignore the xft font instead (experienced on suse).
81
825.8 Tue Oct 25 22:21:45 CEST 2005
83 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: many configure options are now on by default.
84 If you want the old behaviour, try:
85 configure --disable-everything <your enable options>
86 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: -fade changed it's meaning to comply with
87 the documentation and common sense: when upgrading, replace your
88 percentage by 100-percentage.
89 - integrated "fade to specific colour" patch by Martin Parm.
90 - slow down the internal visual bell (delay by 20ms) and update
91 the terminfo flash code to use the same delay. This is
92 synchronous, so many bells might inhibit screen updates in other
93 windows.
94 - text with background==foreground colour gets displayed with default
95 bg/fg now when in reverse video, so it can be seen when selecting.
96 - allow koi8r* as x11 encoding name for koi8r (Nikita Danilov).
97 - removed undocumented inheritPixmapforce option.
98 - replaced INSTALL file.
99
1005.7 Wed Jul 13 04:46:33 CEST 2005
101 - implement some useful (hopefully) options for rxvtd.
102 - separate and improved rxvtc(1) and rxvtd(1) manpages.
103 - fix a bug that caused segfaults on startup on systems that do
104 not support local unix connections, e.g cygwin. (btw, I didn't
105 even know about the -rootless and -multiwindow Cygwin/X modes).
106 - large amounts of text without control sequences or newlines
107 could almost freeze output. This has been fixed by adding extra
108 refreshes in these cases (also a problem in original rxvt).
109
1105.6 Sun Jun 26 22:11:13 CEST 2005
111 - R_SB_RXVT bitset value was 0, so rxvt scrollbar was initialised
112 every time resulting in display errors (original rxvt also affected).
113 Reported by Jasmin Buchert.
114 - font names are now considered to be utf-8 encoded (xft apperently
115 uses this convention. X Core fonts might not, but it should be rare).
116 Affects display in iso14755 box.
117 - rewrote the low-level xft drawing function ("xft backend" for the
118 hipper parts of the world) to hopefully cope better with proportional
119 chars mixed with fixed-width ones.
120 - rxvt is now much more careful (read: slower) with potentially
121 overlapping xft characters. It usually overshoots and redraws
122 more than required, but that's better than undershooting and
123 cutting pieces off of characters.
124 - rxvt is now more restrictive in what font heights it accepts for
125 fonts that will likely overshoot or undershoot lines.
126 - fix a cosmetic problem with the unfocused cursor on a wide character
127 at the end of the line (reported by Mikachu).
128 - wide characters not fitting into the end of the line will be
129 output in the next line (reported by Mikachu).
130 - added doc/solaris9.patch by Ewgenij Starostin.
