439.22 Sat Jan 23 21:07:33 CET 2016
44 - NOTICE: this release updates terminfo.
45 - add terminfo capabilities for various ctrl and shift-ctrl key variants
46 (patch by Sebastian Schmidt).
47 - fix longstanding core font encoding bug where some character
48 ranges could not be mapped from unicode to the font: affected
49 encodings are big5, gb2312, iso8859-8 (hebrew), jis0201 and
50 ksc5601 (reported by Mikachu).
51 - fix crash when the number of columns is 1 and a 0 width character is inserted
52 (reported by Kuang-che Wu).
53 - fix a crash when parsing an invalid color specification (reported by Kuang-che Wu).
54 - fix a buffer overflow in font name parser (reported by Kuang-che Wu).
55 - do not start blinking cursor if the window is unfocused (reported by
56 Devin J. Pohly).
57 - change the width of underline and i-beam cursor to 2 pixels (based on
58 a patch by Omar Sandoval).
59 - add pointerShape resource to change the mouse pointer shape
60 (based on a patch by Brian Watson).
61 - a keysym resource for a key which is already bound to an
62 action now properly rebinds the key.
63 - do not report mouse motion events if Shift is active (patch by Daniel Hahler).
64 - put the alpha component last in responses to OSC color queries
65 (patch by Benjamin Herr).
66 - the key_press hook is now invoked before processing the
67 event, as documented. This change was done in 9.21 but not
68 announced and fixes debian bugs #511377, #531751 and red hat
69 bug #1105069. Note that this change breaks a few scripts,
70 such as mark-yank-urls, which rely on the previous buggy
71 behaviour that urxvt processes the event (in particular
72 keysym bindings) before invoking the hook.
73 - the tabbed extension now properly refreshes the active tab
74 on a key press when the mouse pointer is outside the terminal
75 window.
76 - add 'lookup_keysym' perl method to lookup the action bound
77 to a key combination.
78 - a key combination bound to 'matcher:select' can now be used
79 to cycle through the matches in matcher.
80 - change perl integer accessors (->width et al.) into mutators.
81
829.21 Wed Dec 31 14:50:03 CET 2014
83 - the "moa redraw 8-bit british vintage colour management" release.
84 - NOTICE: this release updates terminfo.
85 - fix pixel droppings on overdraw when a secondary core font has the
86 same height but different ascent.
87 - implement cvvis in terminfo as blinking cursor, to distinguish it
88 from cnorm (emacs uses cvvis which is commonly a blinking cursor).
89 - when xft support was compiled in, colour queries erroneously returned
90 premultiplied values, this also affected internal queries, for example
91 when calculating faded colour. alpha is now divided out when possible,
92 which is more correct but loses colour resolution.
93 - add DECSCUSR xterm extension to set the cursor to a vertical bar.
94 - add 'extension:string' action, and associated on_action perl
95 hook, for keysym resources that invokes actions provided by
96 perl extensions. The 'perl:string' action and
97 on_user_command hook are deprecated but still supported.
98 - add 'builtin-string' action for keysym resources that restores string
99 mappings for keys that have predefined actions in urxvt.
100 - add -k option to urxvtc for killing the daemon process.
101 - document urxvtd's -e/--eval option that was implemented in 9.16,
102 but not documented.
103 - add -dockapp option to make the wm treat urxvt as a dockapp.
104 - add -mc option and multiClickTime resource to set the maximum time
105 between multi-click select events (patch by Joe Peterson).
106 - new 'eval' extension to evaluate arbitrary perl code with keysym
107 bindings. The extension also provides methods that implement basic
108 actions, such as pasting selections and scrolling.
109 - the macosx-clipboard and macosx-clipboard-native extensions have been removed.
110 - kuake extension now uses the kuake.hotkey resource to specify the hotkey.
111 - new 'matcher:select' mode of matcher to iterate over the matches with the keyboard.
112 - the 'matcher:list' feature of matcher now honours the launcher
113 associated to a matched pattern.
114 - speed-up matcher underlining on very long lines (reported by Edward Z. Yang).
115 - fix up/down commands of searchable-scrollback so that they always move
116 to the previous/next logical line with a match, if any.
117 - searchable-scrollback resource has been deprecated (use keysym instead).
118 - extension parameter passing is deprecated (use resource mechanism instead).
119 - upgrade to GPLv3 (see COPYING).
120 - compile out of the box on Solaris 10, again.
121 - fix height and position of the stippled area in next scrollbar (patch
122 by Thomas Otto).
123 - fix off-by-one bug causing the iso14755 window not to jump out of the
124 way properly.
125 - fix crash that may happen if a lib to which urxvt is linked to calls setenv.
126 - fix memory leak in special_{encode,decode} perl methods.
127 - fix refresh bug that occurs when reverse video is set on a cell
128 containing a space and with the same bg and fg colour, red hat bug
129 #830236.
130 - fix crash that may happen if an x error is received after a terminal
131 window/popup has been destroyed already.
132 - removed superfluous 0 digit from sgr terminfo sequence.
133 - greatly improve colour allocation on colour-starved pseudocolour
134 displays to avoid read-write cells instead of simply failing
135 (this is only relevant for antique 8bpp frame buffers).
136 - do not free fade colours when not doing fading (this is likely
137 only relevant for antique 8bpp frame buffers).
138 - do not specialcase 2 or 4 colour visuals, leading to
139 simpler and actually more correct code.
140 - hopefully no longer leak colours on !truecolour visuals.
141 - use consistent method names (scr_recolour => scr_recolor).
142 - use simpler (but slightly less bogus) formula for nearest
143 colour choice (this is likely only relevant for antique 8bpp
144 frame buffers).
145 - remove fallback behaviour when initialising colours - the
146 behaviour was inconsistent between startup vs. later and
147 was only effective when valid colours couldn't be allocated.
148
1499.20 Sat Apr 26 16:22:27 CEST 2014
150 - (libptytty) fix bug that prevented urxvtd from writing utmp
151 entries when using --fork (reported by Ryan Kavanagh).
152 - security bugfix: window property values could be queried even
153 in secure mode (reported by Conor McCarthy).
154 - fix build when perl is enabled and fading is disabled.
155 - fix regression that broke continuous scrolling when pressing
156 and holding the scrollbar up or down button, gentoo bug #493992.
157 - increase the maximum length of a command sequence to 32k bytes,
158 to allow longer OSC sequences (previous limit was 2k).
159 - new Ctrl-Meta-c and Ctrl-Meta-v bindings to interact with
160 the CLIPBOARD selection.
161 - new extension: selection-to-clipboard.
162 - the extensions macosx-clipboard and macosx-clipboard-native
163 are deprecated and will be removed in the next release.
164 Support for the clipboard on OS X can be more generally
165 enabled by setting the XQuartz preference to sync the OS X
166 pasteboard and the X11 clipboard.
167
1689.19 Sun Oct 27 17:16:07 CET 2013
169 - work around perl 5.18.0 breakage in tabbed extension
170 (reported by Karol Blazewicz) and in pod (Dominic Hargreaves).
171 - fix regression that caused the double-click word selection to
172 erroneously include a tab on the left of the selected word.
173 - implement FOCUS variable and focus_fade function in background
174 expression, to allow focus-sensitive background images.
175 - add support for the set cursor style (DECSCUSR) control
176 function.
177 - honour cursorColor also when the cursor style is underline.
178 - export some Color_xxx constants to Perl.
179
1809.18 Sun Mar 24 15:33:35 CET 2013
181 - fix regression that caused artifacts on resize.
182
1839.17 Fri Mar 1 13:46:08 CET 2013
184 - add shade operator in background perl extension.
185 - avoid starting or ending the selection in the middle of wide
186 characters to avoid artifacts (reported by Tiago Resende).
187 - fix artifacts that may occur if the character in the cursor
188 cell has width > 1 (reported by Tiago Resende).
189 - fix regression that causes artifacts on scrolling if
190 saveLines is 0 and the window is resized (reported by Bert
191 Münnich).
192 - fix build when perl is enabled and pixbuf and transparency
193 are disabled.
194
1959.16 Thu Dec 27 11:56:43 CET 2012
196 - the "so much new stuff your eyes will pop out" release.
197 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: renamed urlLauncher resource to url-launcher.
198 - fix processing of DEC private mode save sequences (patch by Patrick
199 Hemmer).
200 - perl extensions now have their own manpages, installed as urxvt-NAME(1),
201 e.g. urxvt-background(1) - see urxvt-extensions(1) for a list.
202 - fix disabling of cursor blink with the option-popup menu (based on a
203 patch by Jan Larres).
204 - the font height is not augmented anymore when lineSpace is non zero.
205 - fix "new pagemap" vs. "delete pagemap" mismatch ([] vs. non-[]),
206 as diagnosed by clang.
207 - fix height mismatch between active and inactive cursor when
208 lineSpace is non zero (patch by Stanislav Seletskiy).
209 - make it compile with LOCAL_X_IS_UNIX again (reported by
210 nickfailure@gmail.com).
211 - completely redone background pixmap support - users can now
212 specify arbitrary expressions (And programs) that calculate
213 new terminal backgrounds. see the urxvt-background manpage
214 for details.
215 - xrender is now required for background pixmap support.
216 - perl extensions can now provide commandline switches and resources
217 which show up in -help etc.
218 - iso14755 51 mode window now displays row and column.
219 - implement a -visual switch and move that and -depth to frills, also
220 warn when we can't get the requested visual.
221 - new env variable: RXVT_PERL_LIB.
222 - allocate all screen memory in one go and let the virtual memory
223 subsystem sort it out. this simplifies code, improves access
224 locality, saves a bit of ram and makes things a bit faster, too.
225 - remove support for libafterimage.
226 - update to CVS version of libev, for a whopping 11kb size decrease.
227 - do not ship yet another copy of ecb.h, use the one in libev or
228 libptytty instead.
229 - selectively mark some methods as cache-hot/cache cold, which
230 might speed up execution but definitely decreases codesize.
231 - Fix regression that prevented the scrollbar trough color
232 from being applied (reported by Derek B. Noonburg).
233 - Fix the scrollbar size for rxvt style (patch by Mark Robinson).
234
2359.15 Sat Jan 21 13:36:56 CET 2012
236 - remove "using namespace std" because clang erroneously
237 thinks thats an error.
238 - finding a matching font (e.g. bold version of the base font)
239 was broken (reported by Eamon Walker).
240 - fix parsing of bg image styles. They really work now.
241 - fix blurring of bg image borders when using xrender.
242 - fix xrender blur on common xrender implementations that do
243 not behave correctly when the same pixmap is used as source
244 and destination in composite operations.
245 - fix regression that caused tabbed to compute the wrong size
246 for tabs.
247 - allow again an empty suffix in a keysym list spec (patch by
248 Sung Pae).
249 - unsupported support for sun studio's CC added.
250 - fix -C option on solaris.
251
2529.14 Wed Dec 21 18:40:33 CET 2011
253 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: the urxvtd default socket path is now
254 $HOME/.urxvt/urxvtd-<nodename>.
255 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: the "list" keysym expansion now requires
256 loading of the "keysym-list" perl extension.
257 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: A scale value of 0 in the bg image
258 geometry no longer enables tiling, so as to make it possible
259 to disable both scaling and tiling.
260 - overhaul of the bg image operations. The old operations have
261 been deprecated in favour of elementary operations and
262 styles built on top of the new operations and scale/position
263 settings. (Emanuele Giaquinta).
264 - support for libafterimage is deprecated and will be removed
265 in the next release.
266 - fix a crash caused by selection_check not properly resetting
267 out-of-bounds mark values (can happen when extending a selection
268 while scrolling up in curses programs for example).
269 - do not move the selection when scrolling up and the selection is
270 outside the scrolling region (Emanuele Giaquinta).
271 - fix display of bold bright black (reported by Ben Winslow).
272 - fix memory leak when urgentOnBell is set (patch by Nathaniel
273 Filardo).
274 - fix a redraw bug that occurs when a bg pixmap is set and the
275 wm does not honour the size hints set by urxvt. Now urxvt
276 forces the size of the terminal window to be a multiple of
277 the cell size.
278 - sanitise the argument of SD / SU sequences. Fixes a possible
279 crash when the argument is big enough, red hat bug #711137
280 (Emanuele Giaquinta).
281 - correctly split long lines when scrolling.
282 - urxvt now looks for perl extensions also in $HOME/.urxvt/ext.
283 - add bell-command perl extension to execute a command when a
284 bell event occurs (Ryan Kavanagh).
285 - add set_urgency perl binding to set/reset the urgency hint.
286 - consume button release event in matcher (exg).
287 - keyboard accessible list of recent matches in matcher
288 (Bob Farrell).
289 - properly process 'keysym' sequences in tabbed when using
290 'focus follows mouse' and the focus is on the main window
291 but not on the active terminal window (patch by Martin
292 Pohlack).
293 - support for the freedesktop startup-notification protocol (patch by
294 Michael Stapelberg).
295 - the direction of VPR and VPB commands was reversed.
296 - fix alignment of inherited root pixmap when it is a different size
297 than the root window and the terminal window is off the left or top
298 edge (Mikachu).
299 - make $self visible in "eval perl expression" popup action, also
300 handle exceptions better.
301 - fix parsing of '-e' when it occurs as an option argument, such as in
302 'urxvt -title -e' (Emanuele Giaquinta).
303
3049.12 Wed Jun 29 14:34:28 CEST 2011
305 - fix regression in processing of SelectionNotify events.
306 urxvt would fail to request a selection if the owner did not
307 support the UTF8_STRING target.
308 - fix rendering of double width chars in certain circumstances, more
309 likely to happen if urxvt is compiled with 256 colors support as
310 urxvt runs out of fonts much earlier then. Fixes gentoo bug #358151
311 (Emanuele Giaquinta).
312 - restore support for 'list' syntax in keysym resources (requested by Sung Pae).
313 - always premultiply colour values - while this increases differences between
314 core fonts and xft, it is "more correct" in practical situations.
315 - disable PTYTTY_REENTRANT option - not needed for urxvt and saves a bit of code.
316 - remove lucidatypewriter from the list of fallback fonts, it was the only
317 non-xft non-cellfont in the list anyway.
318
3199.11 Mon May 2 10:34:46 CEST 2011
320 - fix compilation on GNU/Hurd, debian bug #624736.
321 - remove 'list' syntax for keysym resources, as it serves no useful purpose.
322 If you need it, poke us and provide a use case.
323 - fix alpha channel support. Premultiply alpha in colours if the visual
324 supports an alpha channel, as xrender expects premultiplied alpha
325 (Emanuele Giaquinta).
326 - fix reply to a selection request sent by an obsolete client
327 such as syncterm (patch by Marcin Cieslak).
328 - fix crash when the window is resized and the overlay is active
329 (Emanuele Giaquinta, reported by Ryan Kavanagh).
330 - match character-wise rather than byte-wise in selection
331 extension again. perl 5.8.9+ is required to avoid extreme
332 slowdowns. Fixes debian bugs #523072, #616463.
333 - fix a possible crash if the INCR transfer process for a
334 selection property timeouts and at least one chunk is
335 received. (Emanuele Giaquinta)
336 - work around a memory corruption bug in xorg's XrmSetDatabase (apparently
337 broken since http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/xorg-commit-diffs/2004-March/000239.html).
338 - fix memory corruption bug when custom command sequences bound to keys
339 were injected into an already-full pty input buffer.
340 - gdk-pixbuf is autodetected by default and preferred over libafterimage.
341 - do not prepend a newline to the selection text when the starting line
342 of the selection is not highlighted (Emanuele Giaquinta).
343 - don't swap perl env with real env, save and restore it, just in case
344 we ever get recursive perl invocations. also saves a bit of codespace
345 with gcc.
346 - fix various memory leaks (Emanuele Giaquinta).
347 - fix typo in kIC terminfo capability, debian bug #446444.
348 - document 'thickness' resource.
349 - fix debian bug #504817, to the extent possible.
350 - try to detect byte order at compile time, saves a couple of
351 hundred bytes, if your compiler is smart enough.
352 - add support for previewing the pasted data in confirm-paste
353 (Emanuele Giaquinta).
354 - added "newlines to spaces" option in selection-popup.
355 - actually enabled solaris event ports backend (was disabled by accident).
356 - revert to 38400 baud max., mission accomplished.
357 - no longer create scary "pty_fill: PLEASE REPORT" message, instead,
358 silently drain the input (problem is well understood now).
359 - no longer swallow rob nation's own graphics mode commands.
360
3619.10 Mon Dec 13 17:43:52 CET 2010
362 - the "schmorp=north korea dickey=south korea" release.
363 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: make OSC 20 simpler and more correct
364 (Emanuele Giaquinta).
365 - if options were compiled out, this could lead to the option
366 count to be defined wrongly. This is likely behind the
367 failures with gcc 4.5.
368 - explicitly depend on fontconfig and xrender when xft support
369 is enabled. Although the public Xft api uses types from
370 both, in Xft 2.2.0 these libs are private
371 dependencies only thanks to an idiotic behaviour of
372 pkg-config that was added to workaround cases like this one.
373 Fixes linking when using GNU ld with --as-needed or GNU gold
374 (based on patch by Jan Palus).
375 - fix minor memory leaks in urxvt and urxvtd.
376 - fix regression in urxvtd that prevented options from being correctly
377 set (reported by Michal Vaner).
378 - implement xterm's horribly broken 1005 mouse reporting mode,
379 and an alternative 1015 mode that works in non-utf-8 locales
380 and has fewer limitations.
381 - fix a possible bug where mouse notifications didn't work after
382 startup for the upper left corner.
383 - implement our own pixbuf to pixmap rendering to get rid of
384 dependency on buggy gdk-pixbuf-xlib. Only truecolor visuals
385 are supported (Emanuele Giaquinta).
386 - apply tinting before shading when both operations are requested.
387 Previously they were intermixed when lightening and the result
388 was inaccurate and confusing. Note that now a black tint yields a
389 completely black image, regardless of shading (Emanuele Giaquinta).
390 - avoid spurious redraws of the bg image when bg is transparent or
391 when using 'root' mode (Emanuele Giaquinta).
392 - fix build on XFree86.
393 - dynamically number options according to compiletime requirements.
394 For the extra saved byte. Or so. Yay.
395 - start options at one, not zero. Wastes a bit per terminal. Maybe.
396 saves 50 instruction bytes. Possibly.
397
3989.09 Sat Nov 13 01:39:07 CET 2010
399 - NOTICE: this release updates terminfo/termcap.
400 - the bestest release ever.
401 - it was verified that urxvt handles µ and μ correctly.
402 - add support for blending and blurring with XRender (Emanuele Giaquinta).
403 - add support for using gdk-pixbuf as image backend (Emanuele Giaquinta).
404 - cleanup and minor fixes of the image code (Emanuele Giaquinta).
405 - new perl extension "confirm-paste" (Emanuele Giaquinta).
406 - new on_tt_paste perl hook and tt_paste perl binding (Emanuele Giaquinta).
407 - new on_bell perl hook (Emanuele Giaquinta).
408 - searchable-scrollback no longer ignores the first line
409 (Emanuele Giaquinta).
410 - properly set VSTATUS in termios for *BSD (reported by Ed Schouten).
411 - fix utmpx detection on upcoming FreeBSD 9.
412 - Use COMPOUND_TEXT encoding for WM_NAME/WM_ICON_NAME value when it
413 is not fully convertible to STRING (patch by James Cloos).
414 - fix a buffer overflow that would cause wrong key sequences to
415 be generated for numpad keys (introduced in 9.05).
416 - fix definition of sgr0 to work around limitations in luit.
417 - extend ISO 14755 5.4 mode to also print the font name of the
418 characters other than first one in the selected cell
419 (Emanuele Giaquinta).
420 - new iso14755 option to disable ISO 14755 at runtime
421 (Emanuele Giaquinta).
422 - make sure pagewise scrolling scrolls at least one line
423 (found by Mikachu).
424 - remove deprecated OSC 18 / 19 and make OSC 17 / 19 apply to
425 highlightColor / highlightTextColor (Emanuele Giaquinta).
426 - add highlightTextColor resource to change the foreground colour of
427 highlighted characters (Emanuele Giaquinta).
428 - make highlightColor apply also to selected cells with reverse video
429 but not to non selected cells with reverse video (Emanuele Giaquinta).
430 - remove colorRV resource (it was enabled only with frills off).
431 - fix numlock handling, the most longstanding bug to date (Emanuele Giaquinta).
432 - reduce the number of custom bits to 4, to make room
433 for 256 colours.
434 - add support for 256 colors (Emanuele Giaquinta, Marc Lehmann).
435 - add rxvt-unicode-256color terminfo and use it by default in 256 colors mode.
436 - update rxvt-unicode terminfo to state 7744 colour pairs to cover all
437 88*88 possible pairs.
438 - actually added macosx-clipboard-native, which should have been in
439 the 9.07 release but had been forgotten.
440 - fix hang if DECAWM is not set and there are not enough columns to insert a
441 character (Emanuele Giaquinta).
442 - cub1 ("backspace") will now respect wrapping when past the rightmost column,
443 working around a shortcoming of most tty line discipline's line editing.
444 - add support for grabbing the clipboard selection and extend
445 selection{_clear,_grab,} perl bindings to optionally work
446 on the clipboard selection (based on patch by Dana Jansens).
447 - no longer force CERASE to BACKSPACE - use the system default. affects
448 default value for VERASE only when no compatible setting for
449 backspacekey was given.
450 - use higher than 38400 baudrate setting, if detected.
451 - erase screen would clear to the wrong background when blinking
452 was enabled (which selects high intensity under some circumstances).
453 - scr_kill_char didn't touch the line.
454 - upgrade and port to libev-4.01.
455 - enabled solaris event ports and kqueue backends (if available).
456
4579.07 Wed Dec 30 07:07:18 CET 2009
458 - port to glibc-2.10 changes (strchr etc. returning const char *
459 in C++), based on patches by Milos Jakubicek and Oliver Mader.
460 - the binary search algorithm to find precomposed characters
461 was faulty, skipping some possible combinations (found by
462 Mikachu).
463 - new -letterspace option, patch by Mark H. Wilkinson.
464 - enable --mlock option for urxvt with frills on
465 systems supporting it (patch by Russell Harmon).
466 - urxvt did not compile without frills enabled
467 (analysed by Matthew Rosewarne).
468 - correctly reset the mbstate after an illegal
469 input sequence when handling terminal output (Emanuele Giaquinta).
470 - avoid redrawing wide characters with combining enabled on every
471 refresh (reported by Mikachu).
472 - fix a typo preventing the ISO-646.1991 character set from being
473 recognized (http://achurch.org/patch-pile/).
474 - better warning for x11 font encoding detection failures, also,
475 try to deduce encoding from both font properties and name
476 (adapted from http://achurch.org/patch-pile/).
477 - resizing the window with the scrollbar disabled via the escapes
478 sequence could make the window bigger again (Mikachu).
479 - make sure the alignment for fd passing control messages
480 is correct and work around some NetBSD issues (Taylor R Campbell).
481 - update to libptytty 1.3.
482 - replace macosx-clipboard by a nicer version by Reza Jelveh, and move
483 the old version to macosx-clipboard-native.
484 - document the -uc option (Emanuele Giaquinta).
485 - assertions in libev are now enabled depending on frills.
486 - update AnyEvent implementation to version 5.23 API.
487 - work around arrogant bsd idiocies again: netbsd spills the default
488 namespace with lots of symbols "for gnu/gcc compatibility" even
489 though neither of them does it, and then calls the rest of the world
490 in need of fixing. go figure.
491 - on_keyboard_command is on_user_command (patch by Michael Witten).
492 - setting the selection from perl will now reset the selection screen
493 to the current screen. the screen can be manipulated using
494 the new ->selection_screen method.
495 - implement --enable-assert configure option and get rid of DEBUG_STRICT
496 (based on patch by Emanuele Giaquinta).
497 - fix printpipe data output (patch by Emanuele Giaquinta).
498 - allow `xxx' quoting style for perl selection.
499 - upgrade to libev-3.9 prerelease.

501
5029.06 Sat Nov 8 17:47:18 CET 2008
503 - NOTICE: this release updates terminfo/termcap.
504 - updates libev to 3.48.
505 - the aterm code now frees the as visual and image manager objects
506 when a window was closed.
507 - do not (wrongly) adjust the virtual line length inside
508 scr_insdel_chars/ERASE (Miroslav Lichvar).
509 - fix an issue where wide tab characters caused character shifts
510 when part of them was deleted (tracked down by Miroslav Lichvar).
511 - artificially enlargen the previous character at the end of a line
512 when trying to output a character that doesn't fit. looks ugly, but
513 makes copy&paste work.
514 - remove bogus "setuid/setgid security issues" from rxvt.1.pod, they
515 no longer apply.
516 - the urgency hint is now cleared on both focus in and focus out.
517 - cache urgency hint locally to avoid server rtt on every focus change.
518 - perl 5.10 needs PERL_SYS_INIT3 on hppa.
519 - ignore byte-order marks and do not treat them like combining characters.
520 - fix build issue when CURSOR_BLINK is not defined (Emanuele Giaquinta).
521 - do some µ-optimisations to the character fast path.
522 - use a less cunning, but more robust algorithm to avoid one terminal
523 monopolising the whole process by outputting a lot of text.
524 - try to work around linux first breaking sched_yield and now breaking
525 the only known workaround.
526 - new option -icon to set _NET_WM_ICON (based on patch by Frank Schmitt).
527 - initialise the as visual only on demand, instead of unconditionally,
528 to save memory in the common case of not using visual gimmicks.
529 - try to work around bugs in a few wm's that erroneously resize
530 client windows on hint property updates by temporarily
531 disabling size hints.
532 - implement the DECSTR soft reset sequence and use it for tput init,
533 and make hard RIS and DECSTR both reset more private modes, such
534 as mouse reporting.
535 - redundantly clear mouse reporting and a few other states in
536 tput init/tput reset, for older urxvts.
537 - partial/full clear screens did cause flickering and possibly pixel
538 droppings when urxvt viewed the scrollback buffer.
539 - use current rendition style in DCH sequence.
540 - the 132/80 mode switch no longer forces a screen reset.
541 - add an osc sequence to change the border colour (Emanuele Giaquinta).
542 - new perl extension "overlay-osc", for status displays and the like.
543 - fix some minor cursor drawing issues with overlays by allowing
544 overlays to modify screen flags (to disable the cursor themselves).
545 - work around programs not restoring rstyle before rmcup
546 (analysed by Miroslav Lichvar).
547
5489.05 Sun Jun 15 20:09:20 CEST 2008
549 - new option --cd/chdir to set the starting working directory.
550 - tabbed extension now starts in the "correct" working directory.
551 - work around fedora 9 providing isastream but not the relevant
552 header file for it (report by Tuncer Ayaz).
553 - upgrade libev, fixing a bug in the select backend.
554 with more than 31 file descriptors on non-linux 64 bit systems.
555 - correctly reset the multibyte state to the initial one
556 after EILSEQ (patch by Neil Booth). This fixes the
557 issue of rxvt-unicode not properly displaying text after an illegal
558 sequence on NetBSD and probably other systems.
559 - more intelligent property handling with -pe tabbed, works around
560 broken window managers (kwm et al.), saves bandwidth and should
561 help working window managers as well.
562 - made tabs moveable (based on a patch by Petr Machata).
563 - implement ESC [ 3 K as a more rational alternative to ESC [ 0 K.
564 - support relative paths for RXVT_SOCKET in urxvtd.
565 - the tabbed extension now blindly copies over all (rxvt-) resources
566 from the toplevel window to the children.
567 - better diagnostic on 0x0 window geometries.
568 - update AnyEvent API to version 3.4 and above.
569 - document the default value of :0 for DISPLAY.
570 - rename perl method XChangeWindowProperty to XChangeProperty.
571
5729.02 Tue Jan 29 11:58:36 CET 2008
573 - the "exg makes everybody happy" release.
574 - fix build with !xft.
575 - always compile in plain style scrollbar (simplifies code and looks great).
576
5779.01 Sat Jan 26 20:49:27 CET 2008
578 - be more aggressive about handling X events, this seems to be required
579 with newer xlibs (should fix the "screen stays black until event is
580 received" problem, again :)
581 - add buffered resource to control xft double-buffering.
582
5839.0 Fri Jan 25 19:34:04 CET 2008
584 - fix a crash bug where urxvtd would crash when urxvtc was called
585 with wrong arguments (I wish debian maintainers in general would
586 report bugs and their proposed fixes to the original package maintainers
587 instead of sitting on them for good measure to see if anybody notices).
588 - drawing xft compose characters was causing garbage to be drawn.
589 - correctly clear xft character background in all cases.
590 - implement bracketed paste mode (xterm private mode 2004).
591 - improve documentation on alpha channel handling, make urxvt
592 work better on servers lacking the RENDER extension when alpha
593 channels or background images are used.
594 - check for refresh after initialising to avoid staying blank
595 till the first event arrives. or so.
596 - the FORCE_UNBUFFERED_XFT feature macro works again.
597 - continuously update transparency while moving/resizing now.
598 - OSC 39/49 are deprecated and aliased to OSC 10/11.
599 - cub1 now acts as advertised (and ignores the "wrapped" state).
600 - the 132/80 mode switch now forces a height of 24, too, and
601 resets the terminal.
602 - scrollbar code cleanups.
603 - stopping children is no longer confused with children exiting.
604 - removed (undocumented) #aarrggbb format.
605 - updated to libev 3.0.
606
6078.9 Mon Dec 24 07:51:40 CET 2007
608 - fix the issue where urxvtd would not immediately close a window
609 when the command exited but only on the next X event.
610 - changed terminfo file not to use application keypad mode.
611 - fix the issue where making a selection in one urxvtd window
612 would not clear it visually in another.
613 - fix an issue of urxvt not getting background pixmap updates
614 and flickering after bg pixmap changes (reported by Mikachu).
615 - fix redraw bug in xterm scrollbar with -sr (reported by Mikachu).
616 - correctly provide dependencies for libev (µikachu).
617 - minor code reorganisations and cleanups.
618 - be more robust in case the urxvt-popup extension cannot be loaded.
619
6208.8 Sat Dec 15 19:40:39 CET 2007
621 - option -C was aliased to all unsupported options, activating
622 options that shouldn't be compiled in, leading to interesting
623 effects.
624 - updated libev, working around a bug in linux 2.4, curing the
625 symptom of urxvt not closing its window on shell exit. also
626 fixes a problem with urxvt not refreshing.
627 - the text blink callback was called even when no blinking
628 text was visible.
629 - pre-8.4 slipwheeling behaviour has been reinstated, with
630 some minor improvements.
631 - streamlined x events processing to only flush once per
632 display and not once per terminal window.
633 - quite a bit of minor code cleanups and codesize optimisations.
634
6358.7 Sun Nov 25 10:23:49 CET 2007
636 - update libev with an important bugfix that would cause crashes
637 when closing windows (when using rxvtd, and update is recommended).
638 - do not compile in the block builtin graphics with --disable-frills.
639
6408.6 Fri Nov 23 14:10:57 CET 2007
641 - upgrade libev to disable kqueue on anything but netbsd as it
642 seems to be broken everywhere else w.r.t. ptys.
643 - allow for spurious event notifications, as at least epoll and
644 especially solaris ports like to lie about them (symptoms:
645 urxvt "hangs" until there is some x11 related activity).
646 - -keysym command line options are now subjected to xlib parsing.
647 - add 'xrm' option analogous to Xt one.
648
6498.5a Wed Nov 21 10:16:33 CET 2007
650 - make it compile with --disable-transparency.
651
6528.5 Wed Nov 21 05:19:20 CET 2007
653 - expect major portability issues in this release: please test and report.
654 - converted from the veritable io manager event loop to
655 the high performance libev (http://software.schmorp.de/pkg/libev).
656 - minor tuning to the perl selection (include single words and more quoting chars).
657 - fix memory leak in pixmap code.
658 - fix a serious bug while setting the XIM destroy callback
659 on (typical) 64 bit systems.
660 - automove-background functionality re-implemented internally using :root op in pixmap
661 geometry string. For example: rxvt -pixmap "image.jpg;:root"
662 - do not link rxvtc against every lib on the planet anymore.
663 - parallel builds should work once more.
664
6658.4 Sat Oct 27 14:02:13 CEST 2007
666 - overhaul of the transparency/pixmap code (sasha).
667 - fix possible race between visual bell and poweron.
668 (reported by Martin von Gagern, gentoo?).
669 - urxvt -e no longer crashes the child.
670 - fixed some minor memleaks on incorrect usage or
671 missing DISPLAY.
672 - implement xterm 1002/1003 mouse tracking modes (exg).
673 - source code organisational cleanups (exg).
674 - updated io_manager.
675
6768.3 Wed Aug 1 20:21:31 CEST 2007
677 - new option: skipScroll/-ss, enabled by default.
678 - go with the times and expect x11 library files in /usr/lib, not
679 /usr/X11R6/lib.
680 - initial transparency improvement/afterimage support
681 patch by Sasha Vasko.
682 - add urgentOnBell resource to set the urgency hint
683 (patch by Philip Paeps).
684 - do not process focus events caused by grabs
685 (patch by Mikachu).
686 - add iso14755_52 resource to disable iso14755 5.2 (exg).
687 - add binding for backspace in iso14755 5.1 to remove the last
688 digit (exg).
689 - better option handling, support more than 30 options (exg).
690 - nuke reconf script, serves no purpose anymore.
691 - fixed and documented matcher/on_user_command processing in matcher
692 extension (tpope).
693 - compile out of the box on Solaris 10 (exg).
694 - fix MappingNotify events (reported by Stephan Walter).
695 - zero-initialise mwmhints, this seems to solve all sorts of minor
696 problems.
697
6988.2 Sat Feb 17 21:35:28 CET 2007
699 - fix make depend in src/, reported by exg.
700 - fixed typo in urxvt::GET_CUSTOM, causing the result to be wrong.
701 (patch by Sergey Vlasov).
702 - unbundled iom perl interface somewhat.
703 - scrollbar-xterm now uses the selected scrollColor instead of fg
704 (found by Aiviru).
705 - disabled linux kernel bug workaround again: disabling it gives
706 a 50% speed hit on affected machines, while enabling it gives
707 a similar speed hit to screen, which is likely the more common
708 case to work around for :/
709 - urxvt::rend2mask perl function, and utilization of it by matcher
710 (patch by Moshe Kamensky).
711 - use perl:matcher on a keysym to open most recently displayed URL.
712 - with matcher, when multiple patterns match, last wins, not first.
713 - fix make and make install with srcdir != builddir (exg).
714 - updated bundled libptytty to fix a bug where the tty would be kept
715 open (see the libptytty ChangeLog for details).
716 - delay setting the IUTF8 flag to after the tty settings have been
717 set so its value does not get lost (reported and analysed by Andrei
718 Paskevich).
719 - rip out support for obsolete sgtty.h interface.
720 - rip out support for non-POSIX termios variants.
721 - update libptytty.
722 - update iom.C, make it call ptytty::sanitise_stdfd on init.
723 - when !XFT, change rounding of colours to use a less correct formula to
724 meet user expectancies (#aaa becomes #a000a000a000 not #9f9f9f9f9f9f).
725 - change the starting offset of the pixmap set with backgroundPixmap
726 from (50,50) to (0,0) (exg).
727 - fix a typo in button_release, now meta-button2 request the value of
728 the Clipboard selection as it should (patch by Serge Koksharov).
729 - fix a bug in drawing a cell with a nonspacing char when using an xft
730 font with inheritPixmap and tintColor (exg).
731
7328.1 Thu Dec 7 22:27:25 CET 2006
733 - ｹﾘｽﾏｽﾌ゚ﾚｾ゙ﾝﾄ - zomg!!1, it's too early!!!
734 - fix the assumption that chars < 256 are single-width. Now
735 only assume this for codepoints 32 to 126 (reported by Dai.H.).
736 - $term->strwidth returned wide chars as width 1, because some jerk
737 confused min and max. Fixing this also fixes xim-onthespot.
738 Reported by Takano Akio.
739 - secondaryScroll is now enabled by default (as per the manpage),
740 reported by exg.
741 - correct the description of [percent]color rgba format in the manpage.
742 - incorporated macosx-clipboard extension by Samuel Ljungkvist.
743 - ignore (some) useless focus events (reported by mmc).
744 - updated compose table to unicode 5.0.0.
745
7468.0 Thu Nov 2 18:35:19 CET 2006
747 - combining characters cleared the area instead of creating an overlay,
748 thus losing the ability to draw combining characters properly in most
749 circumstances (reported by exg).
750 - specified fonts were incorrectly morphed to bold/italic according to the
751 basefont, even if explicitly specified (tracked down by tpope).
752 - fixed urxvt::strwidth to calculate width in the same way as screen.C.
753 - fix a crash caused by passing negative widths to overlay functions.
754 - added 'matcher' extension by tpope, replacing the mark-urls extension.
755 - improve url regex to match anything www.* (tpope).
756 - fixed bug with outline cursor color being wrong after xft fonts.
757 - update to libptytty-1.0.
758 - give proper diagnostic when RXVT_SOCKET is too long instead of
759 corrupting the stack (patch by exg).
760 - display current terminal locale in option menu.
761 - urxvtd no longer crashes when the client sends an inaccessible
762 working directory (reported by Roland Baer, possibly fixes gentoo
763 bug #143985).
764 - fixed many minor issues reported by Roland Baer.
765 - Leonid Khramov spotted a minor glitch in rxvtfont.C that
766 should not have any consequences, but was buggy nonetheless.
767 - manpage fix by exg.
768
7697.9 Mon Aug 7 18:16:07 CEST 2006
770 - fix the crashing bug people encountered with 7.8 + urxvtd + perl
771 + transparency. Ought to fix debian bug #380348.
772 - fix urxvtc.1.pod: it actually claimed -pty-fd would not work. But
773 it does! :->
774 - rxvt_fatal() in case the locale string is too long for our static buffer.
775 - fixed many, many, typos in the manpages (patch supplied by ves).
776
7777.8 Mon Jul 17 21:00:46 CEST 2006
778 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: this version will always read ~/.Xdefaults,
779 earlier versions only read it if display-resources (usually from
780 .Xresources) are not set. This avoids the #1 FAQ ("why isn't my
781 resource used") and seems to be logical behaviour, too. .Xdefaults
782 resources have a lower priority than display-specific resources.
783 - add "kuake" perl extension that does a similar thing to the kuake
784 terminal emulator (see man urxvtperl).
785 - use less "correct" color scaling that is compatible with libX11 and
786 Xft (avoids off-by-one colors resulting in striped backgrounds).
787 - the "depth" resource is now respected.
788 - preset the searchable-scrollback pattern with "(?i)" to default search
789 to case-insensitivity. Will automatically be cleared when typing an
790 uppercase character.
791 - add FORCE_UNBUFFERED_XFT define to features.h.
792 - re-enabled highlightcolor support with --enable-frills, based on
793 a patch by Martin Stubenschrott.
794 - double-buffered xft drawing did suffer from pixel offset issues
795 when pixmap transparency was enabled.
796 - strategically add # to the url-match regexes, as we really want to
797 match common URIs not common URLs. Reported by Aaron Griffin.
798 - moved on_osc_seq to on_osc_seq_perl and added a more
799 generic osc_seq.
800 - fix a bug causing double callback invocations when perl hooks
801 were invoked recursively.
802 - the automove-background extension now properly works when the
803 pixmap gets reset with an osc sequence (sqweek).
804 - selection-pastebin did not work properly with non-latin1-characters.
805 - apply colorUL only when the text colour is the default fg
806 (patch by Wu Fengguang).
807 - removed rxvtlib.h from the tarball, it had no reason to be there
808 (spotted by Decklin Foster).
809 - fix compiling with TRANSPARENT but !XPM_BACKGROUND, as reported
810 by omatunto_.
811 - slap in a using namespace std, might help on platforms that don't
812 follow C++ closely enough.
813 - fix mailto url regex, spotted within milliseconds by Jost Krieger.
814 - applied fade_color_update_func.patch by WU Fengguang.
815 - fix a bug where (due to an optimisation in av_delete), hiding the
816 bottom-most overlay would hide two overlays.
817
8187.7 Tue Feb 21 12:32:49 CET 2006
819 - use double-buffered drawing (xft fonts only). On many driver/hardware
820 combination this actually increases xft drawing speed, at the expense
821 of more network bandwidth and slight nausea on the side of the author.
822 - readline perl extension now requires shift-click instead of a normal
823 click, and eats the click.
824 - tabbed perl extension now supports -e.
825 - disabled graphics-exposures on the main drawing GC, report any
826 refresh bugs please.
827 - improve property handling for -pe tabbed: avoid unnecessary property
828 changes (for kde's benefit) at the expense of extra round-trips,
829 improve size hint setting.
830 - modified XIM according to a patch sent by Takano Akio that sets
831 the preedit rectangle for OverTheSpot, which helps some input methods
832 to correctly position their preedit window.
833 - un-optimise the line clearing on newly scrolled-in lines a bit: the
834 former reasoning was that any fg colour on default bg looks the same
835 in empty spaces, but that's not true when reversing (e.g. selection),
836 so also check for matching fg colours. This fixes the problem where
837 selecting newly scrolled-in lines would exhibit wrong colours.
838 - fix a bug in the perl interface causing focus in events to generate
839 focus out perl events, causing bad focus effects with -pe tabbed.
840 - fix a race resulting in a crash on exiting.
841 - fix a with --disable-xft that caused xfreecolors to be called on
842 colors never allocated, resulting in aborts (reported by Paco-Paco).
843 - resources on non-initial screens weren't refetched correctly
844 (reported by Paco-Paco).
845 - fix a bug in xcopyarea pass and _disable_ it, as it seems not to be
846 working in either rxvt-unicode nor in the original rxvt.
847 - removed undocumented -exec alias for the -e option.
848
8497.6 Fri Feb 10 08:52:36 CET 2006
850 - changed interpretation of [alpha] colour prefix.
851 - +option now really sets the option to default, instead of using the
852 resource value.
853 - options that require an argument now really _require_ an argument.
854 - the tabbed extension now forwards focus and key events to the
855 relevant tab window.
856 - tab colours are now configurable and have sensible defaults
857 (initial patch by hednod).
858 - option menu is extendable, readline, selection and
859 selection-autotransform can now be disabled/enabled at runtime.
860 - forcing a configure event to tabbed subwindows with -pe tabbed, for
861 the benefit of automove-background.
862 - the automove-background extension added a wrong constant offset.
863 - force refresh of XA_RESOURCE_STRING on virtual reconnect.
864 - return exit status 2 in urxvtc when urxvtd couldn't be contacted.
865 - the linux yield hack is back, now using usleep, and enabled only on
866 __linux__.
867 - further round trip eliminations in the !XFT case by remembering
868 the colour components.
869 - plain scrollbar works better with -sr.
870 - fixed half-shadow scrollbar look.
871 - more colour rtt optimisations.
872 - properly(?) free colours on window close.
873 - reorganised the FAQ into multiple sections.
874 - add ISO646.1991-IRV to the list of supported codesets.
875 - minor libptytty update.
876
8777.5 Tue Jan 31 15:15:43 CET 2006
878 - further improvements to the careful mode detection, and font width
879 detection:
880 - fully double-wide fonts will now be correctly treated,
881 - overlap detection was improved.
882 - detect totally broken fonts (usually synthesized by xft).
883 - careful mode forced refresh sometimes clashed with blinking,
884 causing unnecessary screen redraws.
885 - better handling of XFT combining characters.
886 - enable antialiasing for some replacement fonts, as they
887 might get used for other encodings which really need it, later.
888 - remove spacing=100 from all default fonts, as this creates totally
889 weird spacing (5 times normal) with xft.
890 - removed iso10646 fallback, as xorgs iso10646 encoded fonts are mostly
891 broken.
892 - removed gnu unifont fallback, all combining characters are broken.
893 - replace named colours by xorg's rgb.txt equivalents, to
894 reduce round trip time on startup, and short-cut allocation
895 of rgb:rr/gg/bb for xft.
896 - short-cut allocation of rgb values in the xlib case
897 (patch by Paco-Paco).
898 - overhauled color management: smaller codesize, alpha support.
899 - support "rgba:rrrr/gggg/bbbb/aaaa" color specifications and
900 an "[alpha]" prefix.
901 - try to work around Xft and Xrender forcing everything to be 100%
902 transparent. Long Live Xft!
903 - do not include X11/Intrinsic.h anymore, directly use
904 Xlib/Xutil/Xresource directly.
905 - try to find a nearest matching color when color allocation fails
906 on a pseudocolor screen.
907 - SYNCCVS: compared to rxvt-cvs 2006-01-28, no relevant changes.
908 - fix version report (DA) (which was unfortunately broken).
909 - changed version number report again, now to emulate xterm closer.
910 - added the OSC sequence 702 to detect the urxvt version number.
911 - small configure updates.
912 - further RTT optimisations.
913 - backported clean-up patches for makefiles and documentation from
914 the debian package.
915 - updated doc/rxvt-unicode.spec file. It's still not maintained here,
916 but much newer than the old one.
917
9187.4 Sat Jan 28 15:26:27 CET 2006
919 - screen background wasn't always erased properly when scrolling,
920 - re-enabled clearing optimisation disabled in 7.4pre.
921 - small configure updates for libptytty.
922 - fixed version options: line output.
923 - removed stoopid debugging message left in the code.
924
9257.3 Wed Jan 25 22:47:35 CET 2006
926 - don't let iso14755 or mouse reporting get into the way of perl
927 (could lead to global grabs never being cleared).
928 - experimental OnTheSpot editing support (-pe xim-onthespot).
929 - moved Shift-Button2 paste combination to Meta-Button2.
930 - the cutchars resource will now be respected and used by the
931 selection extension.
932 - added the "remote-clipboard" extension which just runs external
933 commands to fetch and store the selection data.
934 - added -depth switch that tries to get a different visual depth
935 than the default (replaces the old PREFER_24_BIT logic).
936 - removed (unused) arabic presentation form composing sequences.
937 - be more strict when deciding that a core font glyph is too wide and
938 needs the careful rendering mode.
939 - allow more leeway for italic fonts when deciding that a character is
940 too wide and needs careful mode.
941 - redraw even more characters around characters using careful mode.
942 - made selection-pastebin fully asynchronous.
943 - reduced number of server turnarounds at startup by allocating
944 atoms only once per display.
945 - renamed on_keyboard_command to on_user_command.
946 - changed version sos (ESC [ > c) response to be more compatible with
947 xterm.
948
9497.2 Sun Jan 22 21:58:16 CET 2006
950 - bugfix: urxvt (not urxvtd) did not correctly handle multiple
951 environments necessary, which resulted in segfaults within
952 getenv (reproducible: urxvt -fn 9x15, open a menu once,
953 ctrl-shift-672c).
954 - bugfix: the selection speedup in in 7.1 unfortunately caused
955 non-ascii characters to enlarge/move the selection.
956 - bugfix: resizing sometimes leaked lines from the secondary to
957 the primary screen.
958 - bugfix: reducing window size while large amounts of text were output
959 could lead to an assertion failure.
960 - added "tabbed" extension that provides a crude tabbed terminal.
961 - added "readline" extension that allows cursor positioning
962 via mouse clicks.
963 - now it is possible to insert the value of the CLIPBOARD selection
964 with shift - mouse button 2.
965 - fixed the automove-background extension to ignore coordinates
966 in non-synthetic events.
967 - created a separate libpty for portable and secure
968 pty/tty/utmp/wtmp/lastlog handling, and include it in rxvt-unicode.
969 - the non-terminfo visual bell now works asynchronously, so
970 continuous ASCI BELs in one terminal do no longer monopolise the
971 whole urxvt[d] process.
972 - support some *BSD makes (for the time being, gnu make is a safe bet).
973 - work around bugs in FreeBSD's gcc.
974 - implemented some *BSD fixes in configure.
975 - removed support for obsolete offix dnd protocol.
976
9777.1 Thu Jan 19 20:25:34 CET 2006
978 - setuid/setgid operation is now _encouraged_: security has been
979 improved by moving privileged operations into a separate process
980 and permanently dropping privileges within the terminal. This
981 makes it possible to remove security checks from the perl code
982 and gives a much safer feeling when urxvt needs to run with
983 special privileges.
984 - perl taint checking disabled, as urxvt no longer runs setuid/setgid
985 itself.
986 - new perl extension automove-background that can be used to get
987 the same effect as pseudo-transparency with any pixmap.
988 - new perl extension example: perl/selection-pastebin, can be used to
989 e.g. upload the selection to a webserver and generate a url, or
990 similar stuff.
991 - use the scrollback buffer even when the scroll region doesn't
992 span the whole screen, as long as it starts at row 0. Helps
993 for programs displaying a status line at the bottom.
994 - selection popup now shows selection in dec/hex/oct.
995 - perl/selection: matching on unicode characters in the selection
996 code was O(n²), which equals infinity in some degenerate cases
997 :-> Matching is now done on UTF-8, which makes it almost instant.
998 - perl/selection, perl/selection-autotransform: regexes are now
999 being interpreted in the locale urxvt was started.
1000 - implemented override-redirect option and enabled it on menus,
1001 as kwin puts our windows behind the terminal (what a shoddy wm).
1002 - fixed struct utmp check in configure for OpenBSD.
1003 - complete overhaul of the pty/utmp management stuff and configure
1004 (Emanuele Giaquinta=exg).
1005 - add tsl/fsl and related capabilities to the terminfo description,
1006 to set the window title.
1007 - swap the environment in some more cases. This hopefully fixes
1008 some segfaults that might be caused by xft asking for env variables
1009 at the wrong time.
1010 - removed src/strings.C and src/menubar.C. No menubar support
1011 anymore.
1012 - removed all traces of SMOOTH_REFRESH.
1013 - nuked QNX support.
1014 - made some fixes to xpm offset and scaling code.
1015 - perl-overlays and refresh hooks were not applied in correct order.
1016 - changed coordinate-system of view_start/nsaved to be top to bottom.
1017 - iom extended to support listening for child exits.
