12TODO: document transient_for, vt and the grab etc. functionality 177.7 Tue Feb 21 12:32:49 CET 2006
13TODO: add warning about perl interpreter and setuid/setgid 18 - use double-buffered drawing (xft fonts only). On many driver/hardware
19 combination this actually increases xft drawing speed, at the expense
20 of more network bandwidth and slight nausea on the side of the author.
21 - readline perl extension now requires shift-click instead of a normal
22 click, and eats the click.
23 - tabbed perl extension now supports -e.
24 - disabled graphics-exposures on the main drawing GC, report any
25 refresh bugs please.
26 - improve property handling for -pe tabbed: avoid unnecessary property
27 changes (for kde's benefit) at the expense of extra round-trips,
28 improve size hint setting.
29 - modified XIM according to a patch sent by Takano Akio that sets
30 the preedit rectangle for OverTheSpot, which helps some input methods
31 to correctly position their preedit window.
32 - un-optimise the line clearing on newly scrolled-in lines a bit: the
33 former reasoning was that any fg colour on default bg looks the same
34 in empts spaces, but thats not true when reversing (e.g. selection),
35 so also check for matching fg colours. This fixes the problem where
36 selecting newly scrolled-in lines would exhibit wrong colours.
37 - fix a bug in the perl interface causing focus in events to generate
38 focus out perl events, causing bad focus effects with -pe tabbed.
39 - fix a race resulting in a crash on exiting.
40 - fix a with --disable-xft that caused xfreecolors to be called on
41 colors never allocated, resulting in aborts (reported by Paco-Paco).
42 - resources on non-initial screens weren't refetched correctly
43 (reported by Paco-Paco).
44 - fix a bug in xcopyarea pass and _disable_ it, as it seems not to be
45 working in either rxvt-unicode nor in the original rxvt.
46 - removed undocumented -exec alias for the -e option.
14 47
15 - perl: implement additional hook: line_update, add_lines. 487.6 Fri Feb 10 08:52:36 CET 2006
49 - changed interpretation of [alpha] colour prefix.
50 - +option now really sets the option to default, instead of using the
51 resource value.
52 - options that require an argument now really _require_ an argument.
53 - the tabbed extension now forwards focus and keys events to th
54 relevant tab window.
55 - tab colours are now configurable and have sensible defaults
56 (initial patch by hednod).
57 - option menu is extendable, readline, selection and
58 selection-autotransform can now be disabled/enabled at runtime.
59 - forcing a configure event to tabbed subwindows with -pe tabbed, for
60 the benefit of automove-background.
61 - the automove-background extension added a wrong constant offset.
62 - force refresh of XA_RESOURCE_STRING on virtual reconnect.
63 - return exit status 2 in urxvtc when urxvtd couldn't be contacted.
64 - the linux yield hack is back, now using usleep, and enabled only on
65 __linux__.
66 - further round trip eliminations in the !XFT case by remembering
67 the colour components.
68 - plain scrollbar works better with -sr.
69 - fixed half-shadow scrollbar look.
70 - more colour rtt optimisations.
71 - properly(?) free colours on window close.
72 - reorganised the FAQ into multiple sections.
73 - add ISO646.1991-IRV to the list of supported codesets.
74 - minor libptytty update.
75
767.5 Tue Jan 31 15:15:43 CET 2006
77 - further improvements to the careful mode detection, and font width
78 detection:
79 - fully double-wide fonts will now be correctly treated,
80 - overlap detection was improved.
81 - detect totally broken fonts (usually synthesized by xft).
82 - careful mode forced refresh sometimes clashed with blinking,
83 causing unnecessary screen redraws.
84 - better handling of XFT combining characters.
85 - enable antialiasing for some replacement fonts, as they
86 might get used for other encodings which really need it, later.
87 - remove spacing=100 from all default fonts, as this creates totally
88 weird spacing (5 times normal) with xft.
89 - removed iso10646 fallback, as xorgs iso10646 encoded fonts are mostly
90 broken.
91 - removed gnu unifont fallback, all combining characters are broken.
92 - replace named colours by xorg's rgb.txt equivalents, to
93 reduce round trip time on startup, and short-cut allocation
94 of rgb:rr/gg/bb for xft.
95 - short-cut allocation of rgb values in the xlib case
96 (patch by Paco-Paco).
97 - overhauled color management: smaller codesize, alpha support.
98 - support "rgba:rrrr/gggg/bbbb/aaaa" color specifications and
99 an "[alpha]" prefix.
100 - try to work around Xft and Xrender forcing everything to be 100%
101 transparent. Long Live Xft!
102 - do not include X11/Intrinsic.h anymore, directly use
103 Xlib/Xutil/Xresource directly.
104 - try to find a nearest matching color when color allocation fails
105 on a pseudocolor screen.
106 - SYNCCVS: compared to rxvt-cvs 2006-01-28, no relevant changes.
107 - fix version report (DA) (which was unfortunately broken).
108 - changed version number report again, now to emulate xterm closer.
109 - added the OSC sequence 702 to detect the urxvt version number.
110 - small configure updates.
111 - further RTT optimisations.
112
1137.4 Sat Jan 28 15:26:27 CET 2006
114 - screen background wasn't always erased properly when scrolling,
115 - re-enabled clearing optimisation disabled in 7.4pre.
116 - small configure updates for libptytty.
117 - fixed version options: line output.
118 - removed stoopid debugging message left in the code.
119
1207.3 Wed Jan 25 22:47:35 CET 2006
121 - don't let iso14755 or mouse reporting get into the way of perl
122 (could lead to global grabs never being cleared).
123 - experimental OnTheSpot editing support (-pe xim-onthespot).
124 - moved Shift-Button2 paste combination to Meta-Button2.
125 - the cutchars resource will now be respected and used by the
126 selection extension.
127 - added the "remote-clipboard" extension which just runs external
128 commands to fetch and store the selection data.
129 - added -depth switch that tries to get a different visual depth
130 than the default (replaces the old PREFER_24_BIT logic).
131 - removed (unused) arabic presentation form composing sequences.
132 - be more strict when deciding that a core font glyph is too wide and
133 needs the careful rendering mode.
134 - allow more leeway for italic fonts when deciding that a character is
135 too wide and needs careful mode.
136 - redraw even more characters around characters using careful mode.
137 - made selection-pastebin fully asynchronous.
138 - reduced number of server turnarounds at startup by allocating
139 atoms only once per display.
140 - renamed on_keyboard_command to on_user_command.
141 - changed version sos (ESC [ > c) response to be more compatible with
142 xterm.
143
1447.2 Sun Jan 22 21:58:16 CET 2006
145 - bugfix: urxvt (not urxvtd) did not correctly handle multiple
146 environments necessary, which resulted in segfaults within
147 getenv (reproducable: urxvt -fn 9x15, open a menu once,
148 ctrl-shift-672c).
149 - bugfix: the selection speedup in in 7.1 unfortunately caused
150 non-ascii characters to enlarge/move the selection.
151 - bugfix: resizing sometimes leaked lines from the secondary to
152 the primary screen.
153 - bugfix: reducing window size while large amounts of text were output
154 could lead to an assertion failure.
155 - added "tabbed" extension that provides a crude tabbed terminal.
156 - added "readline" extension that allows cursor positioning
157 via mouse clicks.
158 - now it is possible to insert the value of the CLIPBOARD selection
159 with shift - mouse button 2.
160 - fixed the automove-background extension to ignore coordinates
161 in non-synthetic events.
162 - created a separate libpty for portable and secure
163 pty/tty/utmp/wtmp/lastlog handling, and include it in rxvt-unicode.
164 - the non-terminfo visual bell now works asynchronously, so
165 continuous ASCI BELs in one terminal do no longer monopolise the
166 whole urxvt[d] process.
167 - support some *BSD makes (for the time being, gnu make is a safe bet).
168 - work around bugs in FreeBSD's gcc.
169 - implemented some *BSD fixes in configure.
170 - removed support for obsolete offix dnd protocol.
171
1727.1 Thu Jan 19 20:25:34 CET 2006
173 - setuid/setgid operation is now _encouraged_: security has been
174 improved by moving privileged operations into a separate process
175 and permanently dropping privileges within the terminal. This
176 makes it possible to remove security checks from the perl code
177 and gives a much safer feeling when urxvt needs to run with
178 special privileges.
179 - perl taint checking disabled, as urxvt no longer runs setuid/setgid
180 itself.
181 - new perl extension automove-background that can be used to get
182 the same effect as pseudo-transparency with any pixmap.
183 - new perl extension example: perl/selection-pastebin, can be used to
184 e.g. upload the selection to a webserver and generate a url, or
185 similar stuff.
186 - use the scrollback buffer even when the scroll region doesn't
187 span the whole screen, as long as it starts at row 0. Helps
188 for programs displaying a status line at the bottom.
189 - selection popup now shows selection in dec/hex/oct.
190 - perl/selection: matching on unicode characters in the selection
191 code was O(n²), which equals infinity in some degenerate cases
192 :-> Matching is now done on UTF-8, which makes it almost instant.
193 - perl/selection, perl/selection-autotransform: regexes are now
194 being interpreted in the locale urxvt was started.
195 - implemented override-redirect option and enabled it on menus,
196 as kwin puts our windows behind the terminal (what a shoddy wm).
197 - fixed struct utmp check in configure for OpenBSD.
198 - complete overhaul of the pty/utmp management stuff and configure
199 (Emanuele Giaquinta).
200 - add tsl/fsl and related capabilities to the terminfo description,
201 to set the window title.
202 - swap the environment in some more cases. This hopefully fixes
203 some segfaults that might be caused by xft asking for env variables
204 at the wrong time.
205 - removed src/strings.C and src/menubar.C. No menubar support
206 anymore.
207 - removed all traces of SMOOTH_REFRESH.
208 - nuked QNX support.
209 - made some fixes to xpm offset and scaling code.
210 - perl-overlays and refresh hooks were not applied in correct order.
211 - changed coordinate-system of view_start/nsaved to be top to bottom.
212 - iom extended to support listening for child exits.
213
2147.0 Fri Jan 13 14:02:18 CET 2006
215 - added sections for DISTRIBUTION MAINTAINERS and about
216 SETUID/SETGID to the FAQ.
217 - selection, searchable-scrollback, selection-popup and
218 option-popup extensions enabled by default.
219 - increased xft drawing speed for problematic fonts. The effect
220 will likely be small as 99% of the xft slowness is server-related.
221 - perl: much increased functionality, better overlays, popup support
222 and much much more.
16 - perl: urxvt::line now can set via ->t and ->r. 223 - perl: urxvt::line now can set via ->t and ->r.

23 side effect, it also gets rid of XGetDefault calls. 230 side effect, it also gets rid of XGetDefault calls.
24 - free one of the cursors, fixes a small memory leaks. 231 - free one of the cursors, fixes a small memory leak.
232 - built-in (as opposed to terminfos) visual bell was broken/too fast.
233 - applied minor cleanups by Ladislav Michnovic.
234 - applied pty handling cleanups and improvements (Emanuele Giaquinta).
235 - mark-urls launch-on-click by jepler.
236 - removed "small" resource parsing function, as it wasn't really
237 compatible, and not really small either.
238 - removed PATH_ENV and PATH file search support.
239 - removed support for locale-specific app-defaults file.
240 - fixed a bug where out-of-bounds colour sequences could lead
241 to crashes.
242 - limit colour changing to the standard 88 palette instead of all
243 colours.
244 - XTerm_Color01 sequence returned wrong results in query mode.
245 - iom.C now checks against destructed io_manager when unregistering.
