3TODO: harmonize --disable-options into position-dependent options. 3TODO: xcopyarea pass broken, fix and improve
4TODO: after requesting the selection and getting a timeout, no further requests will be sent. 4TODO: event mechanism that replaces on_user_command with something more scalable.
5TODO: slipwheeling needs a keyboard grab to get key release events.
6TODO: overlays collide with the way the out-of-focus cursor is being drawn

6TODO: read property sequence is broken with respect to utf-8 etc. 8TODO: read property sequence is broken with respect to utf-8 etc.
7TODO: http://www120.pair.com/mccarthy/nextstep/intro.htmld/Workspace.html is the correct nextstep look. 9TODO: slow drag selection on remote display - other things seem fast (rxvt illness, motion hints?)
8WISH: OnTheSpot editing, or maybe switch to miiiiiiif 10TODO: better resource handling for tabbar in -pe tabbed.
9WISH: just for fun, do shade and tint with XRender. 11WISH: investigate -pe tabbed -g 80x25 being 23 not 24 or 25 lines
12 => when setting the constraints, the wm might (correctly)
13 resize the outer window, which might result in a smaller window overall.
14 or something like that. guys, send me a patch.
15WISH: coloured pastebin
16WISH: load system-wide config file even if we don't have one

25 - remove support for libafterimage.
26 - fix processing of DEC private mode save sequences (patch by Patrick
27 Hemmer).
28 - fix disabling of cursor blink with the option-popup menu (based on a
29 patch by Jan Larres).
30 - the font height is not augmented anymore when lineSpace is non zero.
31 - fix "new pagemap" vs. "delete pagemap" mismatch ([] vs. non-[]),
32 as diagnosed by clang.
33 - fix height mismatch between active and inactive cursor when
34 lineSpace is non zero (patch by Stanislav Seletskiy).
35 - make it compile with LOCAL_X_IS_UNIX again (reported by
36 nickfailure@gmail.com).
13 37
14 - perl: implement additional hook: line_update, add_lines. 389.15 Sat Jan 21 13:36:56 CET 2012
39 - remove "using namespace std" because clang erroneously
40 thinks thats an error.
41 - finding a matching font (e.g. bold version of the base font)
42 was broken (reported by Eamon Walker).
43 - fix parsing of bg image styles. They really work now.
44 - fix blurring of bg image borders when using xrender.
45 - fix xrender blur on common xrender implementations that do
46 not behave correctly when the same pixmap is used as source
47 and destination in composite operations.
48 - fix regression that caused tabbed to compute the wrong size
49 for tabs.
50 - allow again an empty suffix in a keysym list spec (patch by
51 Sung Pae).
52 - unsupported support for sun studio's CC added.
53 - fix -C option on solaris.
54
559.14 Wed Dec 21 18:40:33 CET 2011
56 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: the urxvtd default socket path is now
57 $HOME/.urxvt/urxvtd-<nodename>.
58 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: the "list" keysym expansion now requires
59 loading of the "keysym-list" perl extension.
60 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: A scale value of 0 in the bg image
61 geometry no longer enables tiling, so as to make it possible
62 to disable both scaling and tiling.
63 - overhaul of the bg image operations. The old operations have
64 been deprecated in favour of elementary operations and
65 styles built on top of the new operations and scale/position
66 settings. (Emanuele Giaquinta).
67 - support for libafterimage is deprecated and will be removed
68 in the next release.
69 - fix a crash caused by selection_check not properly resetting
70 out-of-bounds mark values (can happen when extending a selection
71 while scrolling up in curses programs for example).
72 - do not move the selection when scrolling up and the selection is
73 outside the scrolling region (Emanuele Giaquinta).
74 - fix display of bold bright black (reported by Ben Winslow).
75 - fix memory leak when urgentOnBell is set (patch by Nathaniel
76 Filardo).
77 - fix a redraw bug that occurs when a bg pixmap is set and the
78 wm does not honour the size hints set by urxvt. Now urxvt
79 forces the size of the terminal window to be a multiple of
80 the cell size.
81 - sanitise the argument of SD / SU sequences. Fixes a possible
82 crash when the argument is big enough, red hat bug #711137
83 (Emanuele Giaquinta).
84 - correctly split long lines when scrolling.
85 - urxvt now looks for perl extensions also in $HOME/.urxvt/ext.
86 - add bell-command perl extension to execute a command when a
87 bell event occurs (Ryan Kavanagh).
88 - add set_urgency perl binding to set/reset the urgency hint.
89 - consume button release event in matcher (exg).
90 - keyboard accessible list of recent matches in matcher
91 (Bob Farrell).
92 - properly process 'keysym' sequences in tabbed when using
93 'focus follows mouse' and the focus is on the main window
94 but not on the active terminal window (patch by Martin
95 Pohlack).
96 - support for the freedesktop startup-notification protocol (patch by
97 Michael Stapelberg).
98 - the direction of VPR and VPB commands was reversed.
99 - fix alignment of inherited root pixmap when it is a different size
100 than the root window and the terminal window is off the left or top
101 edge (Mikachu).
102 - make $self visible in "eval perl expression" popup action, also
103 handle exceptions better.
104 - fix parsing of '-e' when it occurs as an option argument, such as in
105 'urxvt -title -e' (Emanuele Giaquinta).
106
1079.12 Wed Jun 29 14:34:28 CEST 2011
108 - fix regression in processing of SelectionNotify events.
109 urxvt would fail to request a selection if the owner did not
110 support the UTF8_STRING target.
111 - fix rendering of double width chars in certain circumstances, more
112 likely to happen if urxvt is compiled with 256 colors support as
113 urxvt runs out of fonts much earlier then. Fixes gentoo bug #358151
114 (Emanuele Giaquinta).
115 - restore support for 'list' syntax in keysym resources (requested by Sung Pae).
116 - always premultiply colour values - while this increases differences between
117 core fonts and xft, it is "more correct" in practical situations.
118 - disable PTYTTY_REENTRANT option - not needed for urxvt and saves a bit of code.
119 - remove lucidatypewriter from the list of fallback fonts, it was the only
120 non-xft non-cellfont in the list anyway.
121
1229.11 Mon May 2 10:34:46 CEST 2011
123 - fix compilation on GNU/Hurd, debian bug #624736.
124 - remove 'list' syntax for keysym resources, as it serves no useful purpose.
125 If you need it, poke us and provide a use case.
126 - fix alpha channel support. Premultiply alpha in colours if the visual
127 supports an alpha channel, as xrender expects premultiplied alpha
128 (Emanuele Giaquinta).
129 - fix reply to a selection request sent by an obsolete client
130 such as syncterm (patch by Marcin Cieslak).
131 - fix crash when the window is resized and the overlay is active
132 (Emanuele Giaquinta, reported by Ryan Kavanagh).
133 - match character-wise rather than byte-wise in selection
134 extension again. perl 5.8.9+ is required to avoid extreme
135 slowdowns. Fixes debian bugs #523072, #616463.
136 - fix a possible crash if the INCR transfer process for a
137 selection property timeouts and at least one chunk is
138 received. (Emanuele Giaquinta)
139 - work around a memory corruption bug in xorg's XrmSetDatabase (apparently
140 broken since http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/xorg-commit-diffs/2004-March/000239.html).
141 - fix memory corruption bug when custom command sequences bound to keys
142 were injected into an already-full pty input buffer.
143 - gdk-pixbuf is autodetected by default and preferred over libafterimage.
144 - do not prepend a newline to the selection text when the starting line
145 of the selection is not highlighted (Emanuele Giaquinta).
146 - don't swap perl env with real env, save and restore it, just in case
147 we ever get recursive perl invocations. also saves a bit of codespace
148 with gcc.
149 - fix various memory leaks (Emanuele Giaquinta).
150 - fix typo in kIC terminfo capability, debian bug #446444.
151 - document 'thickness' resource.
152 - fix debian bug #504817, to the extent possible.
153 - try to detect byte order at compile time, saves a couple of
154 hundred bytes, if your compiler is smart enough.
155 - add support for previewing the pasted data in confirm-paste
156 (Emanuele Giaquinta).
157 - added "newlines to spaces" option in selection-popup.
158 - actually enabled solaris event ports backend (was disabled by accident).
159 - revert to 38400 baud max., mission accomplished.
160 - no longer create scary "pty_fill: PLEASE REPORT" message, instead,
161 silently drain the input (problem is well understood now).
162 - no longer swallow rob nation's own graphics mode commands.
163
1649.10 Mon Dec 13 17:43:52 CET 2010
165 - the "schmorp=north korea dickey=south korea" release.
166 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: make OSC 20 simpler and more correct
167 (Emanuele Giaquinta).
168 - if options were compiled out, this could lead to the option
169 count to be defined wrongly. This is likely behind the
170 failures with gcc 4.5.
171 - explicitly depend on fontconfig and xrender when xft support
172 is enabled. Although the public Xft api uses types from
173 both, in Xft 2.2.0 these libs are private
174 dependencies only thanks to an idiotic behaviour of
175 pkg-config that was added to workaround cases like this one.
176 Fixes linking when using GNU ld with --as-needed or GNU gold
177 (based on patch by Jan Palus).
178 - fix minor memory leaks in urxvt and urxvtd.
179 - fix regression in urxvtd that prevented options from being correctly
180 set (reported by Michal Vaner).
181 - implement xterm's horribly broken 1005 mouse reporting mode,
182 and an alternative 1015 mode that works in non-utf-8 locales
183 and has fewer limitations.
184 - fix a possible bug where mouse notifications didn't work after
185 startup for the upper left corner.
186 - implement our own pixbuf to pixmap rendering to get rid of
187 dependency on buggy gdk-pixbuf-xlib. Only truecolor visuals
188 are supported (Emanuele Giaquinta).
189 - apply tinting before shading when both operations are requested.
190 Previously they were intermixed when lightening and the result
191 was inaccurate and confusing. Note that now a black tint yields a
192 completely black image, regardless of shading (Emanuele Giaquinta).
193 - avoid spurious redraws of the bg image when bg is transparent or
194 when using 'root' mode (Emanuele Giaquinta).
195 - fix build on XFree86.
196 - dynamically number options according to compiletime requirements.
197 For the extra saved byte. Or so. Yay.
198 - start options at one, not zero. Wastes a bit per terminal. Maybe.
199 saves 50 instruction bytes. Possibly.
200
2019.09 Sat Nov 13 01:39:07 CET 2010
202 - NOTICE: this release updates terminfo/termcap.
203 - the bestest release ever.
204 - it was verified that urxvt handles µ and μ correctly.

207 - cleanup and minor fixes of the image code (Emanuele Giaquinta).
208 - new perl extension "confirm-paste" (Emanuele Giaquinta).
209 - new on_tt_paste perl hook and tt_paste perl binding (Emanuele Giaquinta).
210 - new on_bell perl hook (Emanuele Giaquinta).
211 - searchable-scrollback no longer ignores the first line
212 (Emanuele Giaquinta).
213 - properly set VSTATUS in termios for *BSD (reported by Ed Schouten).
214 - fix utmpx detection on upcoming FreeBSD 9.
215 - Use COMPOUND_TEXT encoding for WM_NAME/WM_ICON_NAME value when it
216 is not fully convertible to STRING (patch by James Cloos).
217 - fix a buffer overflow that would cause wrong key sequences to
218 be generated for numpad keys (introduced in 9.05).
219 - fix definition of sgr0 to work around limitations in luit.
220 - extend ISO 14755 5.4 mode to also print the font name of the
221 characters other than first one in the selected cell
222 (Emanuele Giaquinta).
223 - new iso14755 option to disable ISO 14755 at runtime
224 (Emanuele Giaquinta).
225 - make sure pagewise scrolling scrolls at least one line
226 (found by Mikachu).
227 - remove deprecated OSC 18 / 19 and make OSC 17 / 19 apply to
228 highlightColor / highlightTextColor (Emanuele Giaquinta).
229 - add highlightTextColor resource to change the foreground colour of
230 highlighted characters (Emanuele Giaquinta).
231 - make highlightColor apply also to selected cells with reverse video
232 but not to non selected cells with reverse video (Emanuele Giaquinta).
233 - remove colorRV resource (it was enabled only with frills off).
234 - fix numlock handling, the most longstanding bug to date (Emanuele Giaquinta).
235 - reduce the number of custom bits to 4, to make room
236 for 256 colours.
237 - add support for 256 colors (Emanuele Giaquinta, Marc Lehmann).
238 - add rxvt-unicode-256color terminfo and use it by default in 256 colors mode.
239 - update rxvt-unicode terminfo to state 7744 colour pairs to cover all
240 88*88 possible pairs.
241 - actually added macosx-clipboard-native, which should have been in
242 the 9.07 release but had been forgotten.
243 - fix hang if DECAWM is not set and there are not enough columns to insert a
244 character (Emanuele Giaquinta).
245 - cub1 ("backspace") will now respect wrapping when past the rightmost column,
246 working around a shortcoming of most tty line discipline's line editing.
247 - add support for grabbing the clipboard selection and extend
248 selection{_clear,_grab,} perl bindings to optionally work
249 on the clipboard selection (based on patch by Dana Jansens).
250 - no longer force CERASE to BACKSPACE - use the system default. affects
251 default value for VERASE only when no compatible setting for
252 backspacekey was given.
253 - use higher than 38400 baudrate setting, if detected.
254 - erase screen would clear to the wrong background when blinking
255 was enabled (which selects high intensity under some circumstances).
256 - scr_kill_char didn't touch the line.
257 - upgrade and port to libev-4.01.
258 - enabled solaris event ports and kqueue backends (if available).
259
2609.07 Wed Dec 30 07:07:18 CET 2009
261 - port to glibc-2.10 changes (strchr etc. returning const char *
262 in C++), based on patches by Milos Jakubicek and Oliver Mader.
263 - the binary search algorithm to find precomposed characters
264 was faulty, skipping some possible combinations (found by
265 Mikachu).
266 - new -letterspace option, patch by Mark H. Wilkinson.
267 - enable --mlock option for urxvt with frills on
268 systems supporting it (patch by Russell Harmon).
269 - urxvt did not compile without frills enabled
270 (analysed by Matthew Rosewarne).
271 - correctly reset the mbstate after an illegal
272 input sequence when handling terminal output (Emanuele Giaquinta).
273 - avoid redrawing wide characters with combining enabled on every
274 refresh (reported by Mikachu).
275 - fix a typo preventing the ISO-646.1991 character set from being
276 recognized (http://achurch.org/patch-pile/).
277 - better warning for x11 font encoding detection failures, also,
278 try to deduce encoding from both font properties and name
279 (adapted from http://achurch.org/patch-pile/).
280 - resizing the window with the scrollbar disabled via the escapes
281 sequence could make the window bigger again (Mikachu).
282 - make sure the alignment for fd passing control messages
283 is correct and work around some NetBSD issues (Taylor R Campbell).
284 - update to libptytty 1.3.
285 - replace macosx-clipboard by a nicer version by Reza Jelveh, and move
286 the old version to macosx-clipboard-native.
287 - document the -uc option (Emanuele Giaquinta).
288 - assertions in libev are now enabled depending on frills.
289 - update AnyEvent implementation to version 5.23 API.
290 - work around arrogant bsd idiocies again: netbsd spills the default
291 namespace with lots of symbols "for gnu/gcc compatibility" even
292 though neither of them does it, and then calls the rest of the world
293 in need of fixing. go figure.
294 - on_keyboard_command is on_user_command (patch by Michael Witten).
295 - setting the selection from perl will now reset the selection screen
296 to the current screen. the screen can be manipulated using
297 the new ->selection_screen method.
298 - implement --enable-assert configure option and get rid of DEBUG_STRICT
299 (based on patch by Emanuele Giaquinta).

301 - allow `xxx' quoting style for perl selection.
302 - upgrade to libev-3.9 prerelease.
303 - updated compose tables to unicode 5.2.0.
304

306 - NOTICE: this release updates terminfo/termcap.
307 - updates libev to 3.48.
308 - the aterm code now frees the as visual and image manager objects
309 when a window was closed.
310 - do not (wrongly) adjust the virtual line length inside
311 scr_insdel_chars/ERASE (Miroslav Lichvar).
312 - fix an issue where wide tab characters caused character shifts
313 when part of them was deleted (tracked down by Miroslav Lichvar).
314 - artificially enlargen the previous character at the end of a line
315 when trying to output a character that doesn't fit. looks ugly, but
316 makes copy&paste work.
317 - remove bogus "setuid/setgid security issues" from rxvt.1.pod, they
318 no longer apply.
319 - the urgency hint is now cleared on both focus in and focus out.
320 - cache urgency hint locally to avoid server rtt on every focus change.
321 - perl 5.10 needs PERL_SYS_INIT3 on hppa.
322 - ignore byte-order marks and do not treat them like combining characters.
323 - fix build issue when CURSOR_BLINK is not defined (Emanuele Giaquinta).
324 - do some µ-optimisations to the character fast path.
325 - use a less cunning, but more robust algorithm to avoid one terminal
326 monopolising the whole process by outputting a lot of text.
327 - try to work around linux first breaking sched_yield and now breaking
328 the only known workaround.
329 - new option -icon to set _NET_WM_ICON (based on patch by Frank Schmitt).
330 - initialise the as visual only on demand, instead of unconditionally,
331 to save memory in the common case of not using visual gimmicks.
332 - try to work around bugs in a few wm's that erroneously resize
333 client windows on hint property updates by temporarily
334 disabling size hints.
335 - implement the DECSTR soft reset sequence and use it for tput init,
336 and make hard RIS and DECSTR both reset more private modes, such
337 as mouse reporting.
338 - redundantly clear mouse reporting and a few other states in
339 tput init/tput reset, for older urxvts.
340 - partial/full clear screens did cause flickering and possibly pixel
341 droppings when urxvt viewed the scrollback buffer.
342 - use current rendition style in DCH sequence.
343 - the 132/80 mode switch no longer forces a screen reset.
344 - add an osc sequence to change the border colour (Emanuele Giaquinta).
345 - new perl extension "overlay-osc", for status displays and the like.
346 - fix some minor cursor drawing issues with overlays by allowing
347 overlays to modify screen flags (to disable the cursor themselves).
348 - work around programs not restoring rstyle before rmcup
349 (analysed by Miroslav Lichvar).
350
3519.05 Sun Jun 15 20:09:20 CEST 2008
352 - new option --cd/chdir to set the starting working directory.
353 - tabbed extension now starts in the "correct" working directory.
354 - work around fedora 9 providing isastream but not the relevant
355 header file for it (report by Tuncer Ayaz).
356 - upgrade libev, fixing a bug in the select backend.
357 with more than 31 file descriptors on non-linux 64 bit systems.
358 - correctly reset the multibyte state to the initial one
359 after EILSEQ (patch by Neil Booth). This fixes the
360 issue of rxvt-unicode not properly displaying text after an illegal
361 sequence on NetBSD and probably other systems.
362 - more intelligent property handling with -pe tabbed, works around
363 broken window managers (kwm et al.), saves bandwidth and should
364 help working window managers as well.
365 - made tabs moveable (based on a patch by Petr Machata).
366 - implement ESC [ 3 K as a more rational alternative to ESC [ 0 K.
367 - support relative paths for RXVT_SOCKET in urxvtd.
368 - the tabbed extension now blindly copies over all (rxvt-) resources
369 from the toplevel window to the children.
370 - better diagnostic on 0x0 window geometries.
371 - update AnyEvent API to version 3.4 and above.
372 - document the default value of :0 for DISPLAY.
373 - rename perl method XChangeWindowProperty to XChangeProperty.
374
3759.02 Tue Jan 29 11:58:36 CET 2008
376 - the "exg makes everybody happy" release.
377 - fix build with !xft.
378 - always compile in plain style scrollbar (simplifies code and looks great).
379
3809.01 Sat Jan 26 20:49:27 CET 2008
381 - be more aggressive about handling X events, this seems to be required
382 with newer xlibs (should fix the "screen stays black until event is
383 received" problem, again :)
384 - add buffered resource to control xft double-buffering.
385
3869.0 Fri Jan 25 19:34:04 CET 2008
387 - fix a crash bug where urxvtd would crash when urxvtc was called
388 with wrong arguments (I wish debian maintainers in general would
389 report bugs and their proposed fixes to the original package maintainers
390 instead of sitting on them for good measure to see if anybody notices).
391 - drawing xft compose characters was causing garbage to be drawn.
392 - correctly clear xft character background in all cases.
393 - implement bracketed paste mode (xterm private mode 2004).
394 - improve documentation on alpha channel handling, make urxvt
395 work better on servers lacking the RENDER extension when alpha
396 channels or background images are used.
397 - check for refresh after initialising to avoid staying blank
398 till the first event arrives. or so.
399 - the FORCE_UNBUFFERED_XFT feature macro works again.
400 - continuously update transparency while moving/resizing now.
401 - OSC 39/49 are deprecated and aliased to OSC 10/11.
402 - cub1 now acts as advertised (and ignores the "wrapped" state).
403 - the 132/80 mode switch now forces a height of 24, too, and
404 resets the terminal.
405 - scrollbar code cleanups.
406 - stopping children is no longer confused with children exiting.
407 - removed (undocumented) #aarrggbb format.
408 - updated to libev 3.0.
409
4108.9 Mon Dec 24 07:51:40 CET 2007
411 - fix the issue where urxvtd would not immediately close a window
412 when the command exited but only on the next X event.
413 - changed terminfo file not to use application keypad mode.
414 - fix the issue where making a selection in one urxvtd window
415 would not clear it visually in another.
416 - fix an issue of urxvt not getting background pixmap updates
417 and flickering after bg pixmap changes (reported by Mikachu).
418 - fix redraw bug in xterm scrollbar with -sr (reported by Mikachu).
419 - correctly provide dependencies for libev (µikachu).
420 - minor code reorganisations and cleanups.
421 - be more robust in case the urxvt-popup extension cannot be loaded.
422
4238.8 Sat Dec 15 19:40:39 CET 2007
424 - option -C was aliased to all unsupported options, activating
425 options that shouldn't be compiled in, leading to interesting
426 effects.
427 - updated libev, working around a bug in linux 2.4, curing the
428 symptom of urxvt not closing its window on shell exit. also
429 fixes a problem with urxvt not refreshing.
430 - the text blink callback was called even when no blinking
431 text was visible.
432 - pre-8.4 slipwheeling behaviour has been reinstated, with
433 some minor improvements.
434 - streamlined x events processing to only flush once per
435 display and not once per terminal window.
436 - quite a bit of minor code cleanups and codesize optimisations.
437
4388.7 Sun Nov 25 10:23:49 CET 2007
439 - update libev with an important bugfix that would cause crashes
440 when closing windows (when using rxvtd, and update is recommended).
441 - do not compile in the block builtin graphics with --disable-frills.
442
4438.6 Fri Nov 23 14:10:57 CET 2007
444 - upgrade libev to disable kqueue on anything but netbsd as it
445 seems to be broken everywhere else w.r.t. ptys.
446 - allow for spurious event notifications, as at least epoll and
447 especially solaris ports like to lie about them (symptoms:
448 urxvt "hangs" until there is some x11 related activity).
449 - -keysym command line options are now subjected to xlib parsing.
450 - add 'xrm' option analogous to Xt one.
451
4528.5a Wed Nov 21 10:16:33 CET 2007
453 - make it compile with --disable-transparency.
454
4558.5 Wed Nov 21 05:19:20 CET 2007
456 - expect major portability issues in this release: please test and report.
457 - converted from the veritable io manager event loop to
458 the high performance libev (http://software.schmorp.de/pkg/libev).
459 - minor tuning to the perl selection (include single words and more quoting chars).
460 - fix memory leak in pixmap code.
461 - fix a serious bug while setting the XIM destroy callback
462 on (typical) 64 bit systems.
463 - automove-background functionality re-implemented internally using :root op in pixmap
464 geometry string. For example: rxvt -pixmap "image.jpg;:root"
465 - do not link rxvtc against every lib on the planet anymore.
466 - parallel builds should work once more.
467
4688.4 Sat Oct 27 14:02:13 CEST 2007
469 - overhaul of the transparency/pixmap code (sasha).
470 - fix possible race between visual bell and poweron.
471 (reported by Martin von Gagern, gentoo?).
472 - urxvt -e no longer crashes the child.
473 - fixed some minor memleaks on incorrect usage or
474 missing DISPLAY.
475 - implement xterm 1002/1003 mouse tracking modes (exg).
476 - source code organisational cleanups (exg).
477 - updated io_manager.
478
4798.3 Wed Aug 1 20:21:31 CEST 2007
480 - new option: skipScroll/-ss, enabled by default.
481 - go with the times and expect x11 library files in /usr/lib, not
482 /usr/X11R6/lib.
483 - initial transparency improvement/afterimage support
484 patch by Sasha Vasko.
485 - add urgentOnBell resource to set the urgency hint
486 (patch by Philip Paeps).
487 - do not process focus events caused by grabs
488 (patch by Mikachu).
489 - add iso14755_52 resource to disable iso14755 5.2 (exg).
490 - add binding for backspace in iso14755 5.1 to remove the last
491 digit (exg).
492 - better option handling, support more than 30 options (exg).
493 - nuke reconf script, serves no purpose anymore.
494 - fixed and documented matcher/on_user_command processing in matcher
495 extension (tpope).
496 - compile out of the box on Solaris 10 (exg).
497 - fix MappingNotify events (reported by Stephan Walter).
498 - zero-initialise mwmhints, this seems to solve all sorts of minor
499 problems.
500
5018.2 Sat Feb 17 21:35:28 CET 2007
502 - fix make depend in src/, reported by exg.
503 - fixed typo in urxvt::GET_CUSTOM, causing the result to be wrong.
504 (patch by Sergey Vlasov).
505 - unbundled iom perl interface somewhat.
506 - scrollbar-xterm now uses the selected scrollColor instead of fg
507 (found by Aiviru).
508 - disabled linux kernel bug workaround again: disabling it gives
509 a 50% speed hit on affected machines, while enabling it gives
510 a similar speed hit to screen, which is likely the more common
511 case to work around for :/
512 - urxvt::rend2mask perl function, and utilization of it by matcher
513 (patch by Moshe Kamensky).
514 - use perl:matcher on a keysym to open most recently displayed URL.
515 - with matcher, when multiple patterns match, last wins, not first.
516 - fix make and make install with srcdir != builddir (exg).
517 - updated bundled libptytty to fix a bug where the tty would be kept
518 open (see the libptytty ChangeLog for details).
519 - delay setting the IUTF8 flag to after the tty settings have been
520 set so its value does not get lost (reported and analysed by Andrei
521 Paskevich).
522 - rip out support for obsolete sgtty.h interface.
523 - rip out support for non-POSIX termios variants.
524 - update libptytty.
525 - update iom.C, make it call ptytty::sanitise_stdfd on init.
526 - when !XFT, change rounding of colours to use a less correct formula to
527 meet user expectancies (#aaa becomes #a000a000a000 not #9f9f9f9f9f9f).
528 - change the starting offset of the pixmap set with backgroundPixmap
529 from (50,50) to (0,0) (exg).
530 - fix a typo in button_release, now meta-button2 request the value of
531 the Clipboard selection as it should (patch by Serge Koksharov).
532 - fix a bug in drawing a cell with a nonspacing char when using an xft
533 font with inheritPixmap and tintColor (exg).
534
5358.1 Thu Dec 7 22:27:25 CET 2006
536 - ケリスマスプレゼント - zomg!!1, it's too early!!!
537 - fix the assumption that chars < 256 are single-width. Now
538 only assume this for codepoints 32 to 126 (reported by Dai.H.).
539 - $term->strwidth returned wide chars as width 1, because some jerk
540 confused min and max. Fixing this also fixes xim-onthespot.
541 Reported by Takano Akio.
542 - secondaryScroll is now enabled by default (as per the manpage),
543 reported by exg.
544 - correct the description of [percent]color rgba format in the manpage.
545 - incorporated macosx-clipboard extension by Samuel Ljungkvist.
546 - ignore (some) useless focus events (reported by mmc).
547 - updated compose table to unicode 5.0.0.
548
5498.0 Thu Nov 2 18:35:19 CET 2006
550 - combining characters cleared the area instead of creating an overlay,
551 thus losing the ability to draw combining characters properly in most
552 circumstances (reported by exg).
553 - specified fonts were incorrectly morphed to bold/italic according to the
554 basefont, even if explicitly specified (tracked down by tpope).
555 - fixed urxvt::strwidth to calculate width in the same way as screen.C.
556 - fix a crash caused by passing negative widths to overlay functions.
557 - added 'matcher' extension by tpope, replacing the mark-urls extension.
558 - improve url regex to match anything www.* (tpope).
559 - fixed bug with outline cursor color being wrong after xft fonts.
560 - update to libptytty-1.0.
561 - give proper diagnostic when RXVT_SOCKET is too long instead of
562 corrupting the stack (patch by exg).
563 - display current terminal locale in option menu.
564 - urxvtd no longer crashes when the client sends an inaccessible
565 working directory (reported by Roland Baer, possibly fixes gentoo
566 bug #143985).
567 - fixed many minor issues reported by Roland Baer.
568 - Leonid Khramov spotted a minor glitch in rxvtfont.C that
569 should not have any consequences, but was buggy nonetheless.
570 - manpage fix by exg.
571
5727.9 Mon Aug 7 18:16:07 CEST 2006
573 - fix the crashing bug people encountered with 7.8 + urxvtd + perl
574 + transparency. Ought to fix debian bug #380348.
575 - fix urxvtc.1.pod: it actually claimed -pty-fd would not work. But
576 it does! :->
577 - rxvt_fatal() in case the locale string is too long for our static buffer.
578 - fixed many, many, typos in the manpages (patch supplied by ves).
579
5807.8 Mon Jul 17 21:00:46 CEST 2006
581 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: this version will always read ~/.Xdefaults,
582 earlier versions only read it if display-resources (usually from
583 .Xresources) are not set. This avoids the #1 FAQ ("why isn't my
584 resource used") and seems to be logical behaviour, too. .Xdefaults
585 resources have a lower priority than display-specific resources.
586 - add "kuake" perl extension that does a similar thing to the kuake
587 terminal emulator (see man urxvtperl).
588 - use less "correct" color scaling that is compatible with libX11 and
589 Xft (avoids off-by-one colors resulting in striped backgrounds).
590 - the "depth" resource is now respected.
591 - preset the searchable-scrollback pattern with "(?i)" to default search
592 to case-insensitivity. Will automatically be cleared when typing an
593 uppercase character.
594 - add FORCE_UNBUFFERED_XFT define to features.h.
595 - re-enabled highlightcolor support with --enable-frills, based on
596 a patch by Martin Stubenschrott.
597 - double-buffered xft drawing did suffer from pixel offset issues
598 when pixmap transparency was enabled.
599 - strategically add # to the url-match regexes, as we really want to
600 match common URIs not common URLs. Reported by Aaron Griffin.
601 - moved on_osc_seq to on_osc_seq_perl and added a more
602 generic osc_seq.
603 - fix a bug causing double callback invocations when perl hooks
604 were invoked recursively.
605 - the automove-background extension now properly works when the
606 pixmap gets reset with an osc sequence (sqweek).
607 - selection-pastebin did not work properly with non-latin1-characters.
608 - apply colorUL only when the text colour is the default fg
609 (patch by Wu Fengguang).
610 - removed rxvtlib.h from the tarball, it had no reason to be there
611 (spotted by Decklin Foster).
612 - fix compiling with TRANSPARENT but !XPM_BACKGROUND, as reported
613 by omatunto_.
614 - slap in a using namespace std, might help on platforms that don't
615 follow C++ closely enough.
616 - fix mailto url regex, spotted within milliseconds by Jost Krieger.
617 - applied fade_color_update_func.patch by WU Fengguang.
618 - fix a bug where (due to an optimisation in av_delete), hiding the
619 bottom-most overlay would hide two overlays.
620
6217.7 Tue Feb 21 12:32:49 CET 2006
622 - use double-buffered drawing (xft fonts only). On many driver/hardware
623 combination this actually increases xft drawing speed, at the expense
624 of more network bandwidth and slight nausea on the side of the author.
625 - readline perl extension now requires shift-click instead of a normal
626 click, and eats the click.
627 - tabbed perl extension now supports -e.
628 - disabled graphics-exposures on the main drawing GC, report any
629 refresh bugs please.
630 - improve property handling for -pe tabbed: avoid unnecessary property
631 changes (for kde's benefit) at the expense of extra round-trips,
632 improve size hint setting.
633 - modified XIM according to a patch sent by Takano Akio that sets
634 the preedit rectangle for OverTheSpot, which helps some input methods
635 to correctly position their preedit window.
636 - un-optimise the line clearing on newly scrolled-in lines a bit: the
637 former reasoning was that any fg colour on default bg looks the same
638 in empty spaces, but that's not true when reversing (e.g. selection),
639 so also check for matching fg colours. This fixes the problem where
640 selecting newly scrolled-in lines would exhibit wrong colours.
641 - fix a bug in the perl interface causing focus in events to generate
642 focus out perl events, causing bad focus effects with -pe tabbed.
643 - fix a race resulting in a crash on exiting.
644 - fix a with --disable-xft that caused xfreecolors to be called on
645 colors never allocated, resulting in aborts (reported by Paco-Paco).
646 - resources on non-initial screens weren't refetched correctly
647 (reported by Paco-Paco).
648 - fix a bug in xcopyarea pass and _disable_ it, as it seems not to be
649 working in either rxvt-unicode nor in the original rxvt.
650 - removed undocumented -exec alias for the -e option.
651
6527.6 Fri Feb 10 08:52:36 CET 2006
653 - changed interpretation of [alpha] colour prefix.
654 - +option now really sets the option to default, instead of using the
655 resource value.
656 - options that require an argument now really _require_ an argument.
657 - the tabbed extension now forwards focus and key events to the
658 relevant tab window.
659 - tab colours are now configurable and have sensible defaults
660 (initial patch by hednod).
661 - option menu is extendable, readline, selection and
662 selection-autotransform can now be disabled/enabled at runtime.
663 - forcing a configure event to tabbed subwindows with -pe tabbed, for
664 the benefit of automove-background.
665 - the automove-background extension added a wrong constant offset.
666 - force refresh of XA_RESOURCE_STRING on virtual reconnect.
667 - return exit status 2 in urxvtc when urxvtd couldn't be contacted.
668 - the linux yield hack is back, now using usleep, and enabled only on
669 __linux__.
670 - further round trip eliminations in the !XFT case by remembering
671 the colour components.
672 - plain scrollbar works better with -sr.
673 - fixed half-shadow scrollbar look.
674 - more colour rtt optimisations.
675 - properly(?) free colours on window close.
676 - reorganised the FAQ into multiple sections.
677 - add ISO646.1991-IRV to the list of supported codesets.
678 - minor libptytty update.
679
6807.5 Tue Jan 31 15:15:43 CET 2006
681 - further improvements to the careful mode detection, and font width
682 detection:
683 - fully double-wide fonts will now be correctly treated,
684 - overlap detection was improved.
685 - detect totally broken fonts (usually synthesized by xft).
686 - careful mode forced refresh sometimes clashed with blinking,
687 causing unnecessary screen redraws.
688 - better handling of XFT combining characters.
689 - enable antialiasing for some replacement fonts, as they
690 might get used for other encodings which really need it, later.
691 - remove spacing=100 from all default fonts, as this creates totally
692 weird spacing (5 times normal) with xft.
693 - removed iso10646 fallback, as xorgs iso10646 encoded fonts are mostly
694 broken.
695 - removed gnu unifont fallback, all combining characters are broken.
696 - replace named colours by xorg's rgb.txt equivalents, to
697 reduce round trip time on startup, and short-cut allocation
698 of rgb:rr/gg/bb for xft.
699 - short-cut allocation of rgb values in the xlib case
700 (patch by Paco-Paco).
701 - overhauled color management: smaller codesize, alpha support.
702 - support "rgba:rrrr/gggg/bbbb/aaaa" color specifications and
703 an "[alpha]" prefix.
704 - try to work around Xft and Xrender forcing everything to be 100%
705 transparent. Long Live Xft!
706 - do not include X11/Intrinsic.h anymore, directly use
707 Xlib/Xutil/Xresource directly.
708 - try to find a nearest matching color when color allocation fails
709 on a pseudocolor screen.
710 - SYNCCVS: compared to rxvt-cvs 2006-01-28, no relevant changes.
711 - fix version report (DA) (which was unfortunately broken).
712 - changed version number report again, now to emulate xterm closer.
713 - added the OSC sequence 702 to detect the urxvt version number.
714 - small configure updates.
715 - further RTT optimisations.
716 - backported clean-up patches for makefiles and documentation from
717 the debian package.
718 - updated doc/rxvt-unicode.spec file. It's still not maintained here,
719 but much newer than the old one.
720
7217.4 Sat Jan 28 15:26:27 CET 2006
722 - screen background wasn't always erased properly when scrolling,
723 - re-enabled clearing optimisation disabled in 7.4pre.
724 - small configure updates for libptytty.
725 - fixed version options: line output.
726 - removed stoopid debugging message left in the code.
727
7287.3 Wed Jan 25 22:47:35 CET 2006
729 - don't let iso14755 or mouse reporting get into the way of perl
730 (could lead to global grabs never being cleared).
731 - experimental OnTheSpot editing support (-pe xim-onthespot).
732 - moved Shift-Button2 paste combination to Meta-Button2.
733 - the cutchars resource will now be respected and used by the
734 selection extension.
735 - added the "remote-clipboard" extension which just runs external
736 commands to fetch and store the selection data.
737 - added -depth switch that tries to get a different visual depth
738 than the default (replaces the old PREFER_24_BIT logic).
739 - removed (unused) arabic presentation form composing sequences.
740 - be more strict when deciding that a core font glyph is too wide and
741 needs the careful rendering mode.
742 - allow more leeway for italic fonts when deciding that a character is
743 too wide and needs careful mode.
744 - redraw even more characters around characters using careful mode.
745 - made selection-pastebin fully asynchronous.
746 - reduced number of server turnarounds at startup by allocating
747 atoms only once per display.
748 - renamed on_keyboard_command to on_user_command.
749 - changed version sos (ESC [ > c) response to be more compatible with
750 xterm.
751
7527.2 Sun Jan 22 21:58:16 CET 2006
753 - bugfix: urxvt (not urxvtd) did not correctly handle multiple
754 environments necessary, which resulted in segfaults within
755 getenv (reproducible: urxvt -fn 9x15, open a menu once,
756 ctrl-shift-672c).
757 - bugfix: the selection speedup in in 7.1 unfortunately caused
758 non-ascii characters to enlarge/move the selection.
759 - bugfix: resizing sometimes leaked lines from the secondary to
760 the primary screen.
761 - bugfix: reducing window size while large amounts of text were output
762 could lead to an assertion failure.
763 - added "tabbed" extension that provides a crude tabbed terminal.
764 - added "readline" extension that allows cursor positioning
765 via mouse clicks.
766 - now it is possible to insert the value of the CLIPBOARD selection
767 with shift - mouse button 2.
768 - fixed the automove-background extension to ignore coordinates
769 in non-synthetic events.
770 - created a separate libpty for portable and secure
771 pty/tty/utmp/wtmp/lastlog handling, and include it in rxvt-unicode.
772 - the non-terminfo visual bell now works asynchronously, so
773 continuous ASCI BELs in one terminal do no longer monopolise the
774 whole urxvt[d] process.
775 - support some *BSD makes (for the time being, gnu make is a safe bet).
776 - work around bugs in FreeBSD's gcc.
777 - implemented some *BSD fixes in configure.
778 - removed support for obsolete offix dnd protocol.
779
7807.1 Thu Jan 19 20:25:34 CET 2006
781 - setuid/setgid operation is now _encouraged_: security has been
782 improved by moving privileged operations into a separate process
783 and permanently dropping privileges within the terminal. This
784 makes it possible to remove security checks from the perl code
785 and gives a much safer feeling when urxvt needs to run with
786 special privileges.
787 - perl taint checking disabled, as urxvt no longer runs setuid/setgid
788 itself.
789 - new perl extension automove-background that can be used to get
790 the same effect as pseudo-transparency with any pixmap.
791 - new perl extension example: perl/selection-pastebin, can be used to
792 e.g. upload the selection to a webserver and generate a url, or
793 similar stuff.
794 - use the scrollback buffer even when the scroll region doesn't
795 span the whole screen, as long as it starts at row 0. Helps
796 for programs displaying a status line at the bottom.
797 - selection popup now shows selection in dec/hex/oct.
798 - perl/selection: matching on unicode characters in the selection
799 code was O(n²), which equals infinity in some degenerate cases
800 :-> Matching is now done on UTF-8, which makes it almost instant.
801 - perl/selection, perl/selection-autotransform: regexes are now
802 being interpreted in the locale urxvt was started.
803 - implemented override-redirect option and enabled it on menus,
804 as kwin puts our windows behind the terminal (what a shoddy wm).
805 - fixed struct utmp check in configure for OpenBSD.
806 - complete overhaul of the pty/utmp management stuff and configure
807 (Emanuele Giaquinta=exg).
808 - add tsl/fsl and related capabilities to the terminfo description,
809 to set the window title.
810 - swap the environment in some more cases. This hopefully fixes
811 some segfaults that might be caused by xft asking for env variables
812 at the wrong time.
813 - removed src/strings.C and src/menubar.C. No menubar support
814 anymore.
815 - removed all traces of SMOOTH_REFRESH.
816 - nuked QNX support.
817 - made some fixes to xpm offset and scaling code.
818 - perl-overlays and refresh hooks were not applied in correct order.
819 - changed coordinate-system of view_start/nsaved to be top to bottom.
820 - iom extended to support listening for child exits.
821
8227.0 Fri Jan 13 14:02:18 CET 2006
823 - added sections for DISTRIBUTION MAINTAINERS and about
824 SETUID/SETGID to the FAQ.
825 - selection, searchable-scrollback, selection-popup and
826 option-popup extensions enabled by default.
827 - increased xft drawing speed for problematic fonts. The effect
828 will likely be small as 99% of the xft slowness is server-related.
829 - perl: much increased functionality, better overlays, popup support
830 and much much more.
15 - perl: urxvt::line now can set via ->t and ->r. 831 - perl: urxvt::line now can set via ->t and ->r.
832 - perl: changed interpretation of --perl-ext-common and -pe.
833 - perl: finally implemented --perl-eval.
834 - perl: non-blocking anyevent support.
835 - perl: run tainted and ignore perl-eval/perl-lib if started
836 setuid/setgid.
837 - free the resource database: this plugs a massive memory leak. As a
838 side effect, it also gets rid of XGetDefault calls.
839 - free one of the cursors, fixes a small memory leak.
840 - built-in (as opposed to terminfos) visual bell was broken/too fast.
841 - applied minor cleanups by Ladislav Michnovic.
842 - applied pty handling cleanups and improvements (Emanuele Giaquinta).
843 - mark-urls launch-on-click by jepler.
844 - removed "small" resource parsing function, as it wasn't really
845 compatible, and not really small either.
846 - removed PATH_ENV and PATH file search support.
847 - removed support for locale-specific app-defaults file.
848 - fixed a bug where out-of-bounds colour sequences could lead
849 to crashes.
850 - limit colour changing to the standard 88 palette instead of all
851 colours.
852 - XTerm_Color01 sequence returned wrong results in query mode.
853 - iom.C now checks against destructed io_manager when unregistering.

176.3 Wed Jan 4 22:37:10 CET 2006 8556.3 Wed Jan 4 22:37:10 CET 2006
