7TODO: read property sequence is broken with respect to utf-8 etc. 8TODO: read property sequence is broken with respect to utf-8 etc.
8TODO: 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?)
9TODO: clarify and get rid of SMOOTH_REFRESH etc. 10TODO: better resource handling for tabbar in -pe tabbed.

46
47 - for the 17.5th anniversary, and because many distributions seem to
48 remove rxvt in favour of urxvt, this release resurrects rclock as
49 urclock.
50 - add support for systemd socket-based activation - debian bug #917105,
51 freebsd bug #234276.
52 - do not destruct perl on exit anymore: this might fail for a variety of
53 reasons, and takes unneccessary time.
54 - remove any macros from urxvtperl manpage(s), should fix debian
55 bug 858385.
56 - the old bg image resources are now provided by the background
57 extension, and perl is thus required for bg image support. No
58 configuration change is needed: urxvt autoloads the background
59 ext if any bg image resource/option is present (for OSC sequences to
60 work you need to enable it explicity). The old bg image
61 resources are also now deprecated; users are encouraged to
62 switch to the new bg image interface (see man urxvt-background).
63 - confirm-paste now checks for any ctlchars, not just newlines.
64 - searchable scrollback will now ignore bracketed paste mode sequences
65 (prompted by Daniel Gröber's patch).
66 - drop ISO 2022 locale support. ISO 2022 encodings are not supported in
67 POSIX locales and clash with vt100 charset emulation (the luit
68 program can be used as a substitute).
69 - perl didn't parse rgba colours specified as an array correctly,
70 only allowing 0 and 100% intensity for each component (this affected
71 fill and tint).
72 - when iterating over resources, urxvt will now try to properly handle
73 multipart resources (such as "*background.expr"), for the benefit
74 of autoloading perl extensions.
75 - ESC G (query rxvt graphics mode) has been disabled due to security
76 implications. The rxvt graphics mode was removed in rxvt-unicode 1.5,
77 and no programs relying on being able to query the mode are known.
78 - work around API change breakage in perl 5.28, based on a patch by
79 Roman Bogorodskiy.
80 - improved security: rob nation's (obsolete) graphics mode queries
81 no longer reply with linefeed in secure/default mode.
82 - ISO 8613-3 direct colour SGR sequences (patch by Fengguang Wu).
83 - xterm focus reporting mode (patch by Daniel Hahler).
84 - xterm SGR mouse mode.
85 - implement DECRQM. Patch by Přemysl Eric Janouch.
86 - add missing color index parameter to OSC 4 response. Patch
87 by Přemysl Eric Janouch.
88 - in some window managers, if smart resize was enabled, urxvt
89 erroneously moved the window on font change - awesome bug
90 #532, arch linux bug ##34807 (patch by Uli Schlachter).
91 - fix urxvtd crash when using a background expression.
92 - properly restore colors when using fading and reverse video
93 is enabled while urxvt is focused and then disabled while it
94 is not focused, or vice versa (patch by Daniel Hahler).
95 - fix high memory usage when an extension repeatedly hides and
96 shows an overlay (reported by Marcel Lautenbach).
97 - expose priv_modes member and constants to perl extensions
98 (patch by Rastislav Barlik).
99 - fix a whole slew of const sillyness, unfortunately forced upon
100 us by ISO C++.
101 - update to libecb 0x00010006.
102 - disable all thread support in ecb.h as we presumably don't need it.
103 - slightly improve Makefile source dependencies.
104 - work around bugs in newer Pod::Xhtml versions (flags incorrect formatting codes
105 in xhtml/html sections but does not interpret correct ones).
106
1079.22 Sat Jan 23 21:07:33 CET 2016
108 - NOTICE: this release updates terminfo.
109 - add terminfo capabilities for various ctrl and shift-ctrl key variants
110 (patch by Sebastian Schmidt).
111 - fix longstanding core font encoding bug where some character
112 ranges could not be mapped from unicode to the font: affected
113 encodings are big5, gb2312, iso8859-8 (hebrew), jis0201 and
114 ksc5601 (reported by Mikachu).
115 - fix crash when the number of columns is 1 and a 0 width character is inserted
116 (reported by Kuang-che Wu).
117 - fix a crash when parsing an invalid color specification (reported by Kuang-che Wu).
118 - fix a buffer overflow in font name parser (reported by Kuang-che Wu).
119 - do not start blinking cursor if the window is unfocused (reported by
120 Devin J. Pohly).
121 - change the width of underline and i-beam cursor to 2 pixels (based on
122 a patch by Omar Sandoval).
123 - add pointerShape resource to change the mouse pointer shape
124 (based on a patch by Brian Watson).
125 - a keysym resource for a key which is already bound to an
126 action now properly rebinds the key.
127 - do not report mouse motion events if Shift is active (patch by Daniel Hahler).
128 - put the alpha component last in responses to OSC color queries
129 (patch by Benjamin Herr).
130 - the key_press hook is now invoked before processing the
131 event, as documented. This change was done in 9.21 but not
132 announced and fixes debian bugs #511377, #531751 and red hat
133 bug #1105069. Note that this change breaks a few scripts,
134 such as mark-yank-urls, which rely on the previous buggy
135 behaviour that urxvt processes the event (in particular
136 keysym bindings) before invoking the hook.
137 - the tabbed extension now properly refreshes the active tab
138 on a key press when the mouse pointer is outside the terminal
139 window.
140 - add 'lookup_keysym' perl method to lookup the action bound
141 to a key combination.
142 - a key combination bound to 'matcher:select' can now be used
143 to cycle through the matches in matcher.
144 - change perl integer accessors (->width et al.) into mutators.
145
1469.21 Wed Dec 31 14:50:03 CET 2014
147 - the "moa redraw 8-bit british vintage colour management" release.
148 - NOTICE: this release updates terminfo.
149 - fix pixel droppings on overdraw when a secondary core font has the
150 same height but different ascent.
151 - implement cvvis in terminfo as blinking cursor, to distinguish it
152 from cnorm (emacs uses cvvis which is commonly a blinking cursor).
153 - when xft support was compiled in, colour queries erroneously returned
154 premultiplied values, this also affected internal queries, for example
155 when calculating faded colour. alpha is now divided out when possible,
156 which is more correct but loses colour resolution.
157 - add DECSCUSR xterm extension to set the cursor to a vertical bar.
158 - add 'extension:string' action, and associated on_action perl
159 hook, for keysym resources that invokes actions provided by
160 perl extensions. The 'perl:string' action and
161 on_user_command hook are deprecated but still supported.
162 - add 'builtin-string' action for keysym resources that restores string
163 mappings for keys that have predefined actions in urxvt.
164 - add -k option to urxvtc for killing the daemon process.
165 - document urxvtd's -e/--eval option that was implemented in 9.16,
166 but not documented.
167 - add -dockapp option to make the wm treat urxvt as a dockapp.
168 - add -mc option and multiClickTime resource to set the maximum time
169 between multi-click select events (patch by Joe Peterson).
170 - new 'eval' extension to evaluate arbitrary perl code with keysym
171 bindings. The extension also provides methods that implement basic
172 actions, such as pasting selections and scrolling.
173 - the macosx-clipboard and macosx-clipboard-native extensions have been removed.
174 - kuake extension now uses the kuake.hotkey resource to specify the hotkey.
175 - new 'matcher:select' mode of matcher to iterate over the matches with the keyboard.
176 - the 'matcher:list' feature of matcher now honours the launcher
177 associated to a matched pattern.
178 - speed-up matcher underlining on very long lines (reported by Edward Z. Yang).
179 - fix up/down commands of searchable-scrollback so that they always move
180 to the previous/next logical line with a match, if any.
181 - searchable-scrollback resource has been deprecated (use keysym instead).
182 - extension parameter passing is deprecated (use resource mechanism instead).
183 - upgrade to GPLv3 (see COPYING).
184 - compile out of the box on Solaris 10, again.
185 - fix height and position of the stippled area in next scrollbar (patch
186 by Thomas Otto).
187 - fix off-by-one bug causing the iso14755 window not to jump out of the
188 way properly.
189 - fix crash that may happen if a lib to which urxvt is linked to calls setenv.
190 - fix memory leak in special_{encode,decode} perl methods.
191 - fix refresh bug that occurs when reverse video is set on a cell
192 containing a space and with the same bg and fg colour, red hat bug
193 #830236.
194 - fix crash that may happen if an x error is received after a terminal
195 window/popup has been destroyed already.
196 - removed superfluous 0 digit from sgr terminfo sequence.
197 - greatly improve colour allocation on colour-starved pseudocolour
198 displays to avoid read-write cells instead of simply failing
199 (this is only relevant for antique 8bpp frame buffers).
200 - do not free fade colours when not doing fading (this is likely
201 only relevant for antique 8bpp frame buffers).
202 - do not specialcase 2 or 4 colour visuals, leading to
203 simpler and actually more correct code.
204 - hopefully no longer leak colours on !truecolour visuals.
205 - use consistent method names (scr_recolour => scr_recolor).
206 - use simpler (but slightly less bogus) formula for nearest
207 colour choice (this is likely only relevant for antique 8bpp
208 frame buffers).
209 - remove fallback behaviour when initialising colours - the
210 behaviour was inconsistent between startup vs. later and
211 was only effective when valid colours couldn't be allocated.
212
2139.20 Sat Apr 26 16:22:27 CEST 2014
214 - (libptytty) fix bug that prevented urxvtd from writing utmp
215 entries when using --fork (reported by Ryan Kavanagh).
216 - security bugfix: window property values could be queried even
217 in secure mode (reported by Conor McCarthy).
218 - fix build when perl is enabled and fading is disabled.
219 - fix regression that broke continuous scrolling when pressing
220 and holding the scrollbar up or down button, gentoo bug #493992.
221 - increase the maximum length of a command sequence to 32k bytes,
222 to allow longer OSC sequences (previous limit was 2k).
223 - new Ctrl-Meta-c and Ctrl-Meta-v bindings to interact with
224 the CLIPBOARD selection.
225 - new extension: selection-to-clipboard.
226 - the extensions macosx-clipboard and macosx-clipboard-native
227 are deprecated and will be removed in the next release.
228 Support for the clipboard on OS X can be more generally
229 enabled by setting the XQuartz preference to sync the OS X
230 pasteboard and the X11 clipboard.
231
2329.19 Sun Oct 27 17:16:07 CET 2013
233 - work around perl 5.18.0 breakage in tabbed extension
234 (reported by Karol Blazewicz) and in pod (Dominic Hargreaves).
235 - fix regression that caused the double-click word selection to
236 erroneously include a tab on the left of the selected word.
237 - implement FOCUS variable and focus_fade function in background
238 expression, to allow focus-sensitive background images.
239 - add support for the set cursor style (DECSCUSR) control
240 function.
241 - honour cursorColor also when the cursor style is underline.
242 - export some Color_xxx constants to Perl.
243
2449.18 Sun Mar 24 15:33:35 CET 2013
245 - fix regression that caused artifacts on resize.
246
2479.17 Fri Mar 1 13:46:08 CET 2013
248 - add shade operator in background perl extension.
249 - avoid starting or ending the selection in the middle of wide
250 characters to avoid artifacts (reported by Tiago Resende).
251 - fix artifacts that may occur if the character in the cursor
252 cell has width > 1 (reported by Tiago Resende).
253 - fix regression that causes artifacts on scrolling if
254 saveLines is 0 and the window is resized (reported by Bert
255 Münnich).
256 - fix build when perl is enabled and pixbuf and transparency
257 are disabled.
258
2599.16 Thu Dec 27 11:56:43 CET 2012
260 - the "so much new stuff your eyes will pop out" release.
261 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: renamed urlLauncher resource to url-launcher.
262 - fix processing of DEC private mode save sequences (patch by Patrick
263 Hemmer).
264 - perl extensions now have their own manpages, installed as urxvt-NAME(1),
265 e.g. urxvt-background(1) - see urxvt-extensions(1) for a list.
266 - fix disabling of cursor blink with the option-popup menu (based on a
267 patch by Jan Larres).
268 - the font height is not augmented anymore when lineSpace is non zero.
269 - fix "new pagemap" vs. "delete pagemap" mismatch ([] vs. non-[]),
270 as diagnosed by clang.
271 - fix height mismatch between active and inactive cursor when
272 lineSpace is non zero (patch by Stanislav Seletskiy).
273 - make it compile with LOCAL_X_IS_UNIX again (reported by
274 nickfailure@gmail.com).
275 - completely redone background pixmap support - users can now
276 specify arbitrary expressions (And programs) that calculate
277 new terminal backgrounds. see the urxvt-background manpage
278 for details.
279 - xrender is now required for background pixmap support.
280 - perl extensions can now provide commandline switches and resources
281 which show up in -help etc.
282 - iso14755 51 mode window now displays row and column.
283 - implement a -visual switch and move that and -depth to frills, also
284 warn when we can't get the requested visual.
285 - new env variable: RXVT_PERL_LIB.
286 - allocate all screen memory in one go and let the virtual memory
287 subsystem sort it out. this simplifies code, improves access
288 locality, saves a bit of ram and makes things a bit faster, too.
289 - remove support for libafterimage.
290 - update to CVS version of libev, for a whopping 11kb size decrease.
291 - do not ship yet another copy of ecb.h, use the one in libev or
292 libptytty instead.
293 - selectively mark some methods as cache-hot/cache cold, which
294 might speed up execution but definitely decreases codesize.
295 - Fix regression that prevented the scrollbar trough color
296 from being applied (reported by Derek B. Noonburg).
297 - Fix the scrollbar size for rxvt style (patch by Mark Robinson).
298
2999.15 Sat Jan 21 13:36:56 CET 2012
300 - remove "using namespace std" because clang erroneously
301 thinks thats an error.
302 - finding a matching font (e.g. bold version of the base font)
303 was broken (reported by Eamon Walker).
304 - fix parsing of bg image styles. They really work now.
305 - fix blurring of bg image borders when using xrender.
306 - fix xrender blur on common xrender implementations that do
307 not behave correctly when the same pixmap is used as source
308 and destination in composite operations.
309 - fix regression that caused tabbed to compute the wrong size
310 for tabs.
311 - allow again an empty suffix in a keysym list spec (patch by
312 Sung Pae).
313 - unsupported support for sun studio's CC added.
314 - fix -C option on solaris.
315
3169.14 Wed Dec 21 18:40:33 CET 2011
317 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: the urxvtd default socket path is now
318 $HOME/.urxvt/urxvtd-<nodename>.
319 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: the "list" keysym expansion now requires
320 loading of the "keysym-list" perl extension.
321 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: A scale value of 0 in the bg image
322 geometry no longer enables tiling, so as to make it possible
323 to disable both scaling and tiling.
324 - overhaul of the bg image operations. The old operations have
325 been deprecated in favour of elementary operations and
326 styles built on top of the new operations and scale/position
327 settings. (Emanuele Giaquinta).
328 - support for libafterimage is deprecated and will be removed
329 in the next release.
330 - fix a crash caused by selection_check not properly resetting
331 out-of-bounds mark values (can happen when extending a selection
332 while scrolling up in curses programs for example).
333 - do not move the selection when scrolling up and the selection is
334 outside the scrolling region (Emanuele Giaquinta).
335 - fix display of bold bright black (reported by Ben Winslow).
336 - fix memory leak when urgentOnBell is set (patch by Nathaniel
337 Filardo).
338 - fix a redraw bug that occurs when a bg pixmap is set and the
339 wm does not honour the size hints set by urxvt. Now urxvt
340 forces the size of the terminal window to be a multiple of
341 the cell size.
342 - sanitise the argument of SD / SU sequences. Fixes a possible
343 crash when the argument is big enough, red hat bug #711137
344 (Emanuele Giaquinta).
345 - correctly split long lines when scrolling.
346 - urxvt now looks for perl extensions also in $HOME/.urxvt/ext.
347 - add bell-command perl extension to execute a command when a
348 bell event occurs (Ryan Kavanagh).
349 - add set_urgency perl binding to set/reset the urgency hint.
350 - consume button release event in matcher (exg).
351 - keyboard accessible list of recent matches in matcher
352 (Bob Farrell).
353 - properly process 'keysym' sequences in tabbed when using
354 'focus follows mouse' and the focus is on the main window
355 but not on the active terminal window (patch by Martin
356 Pohlack).
357 - support for the freedesktop startup-notification protocol (patch by
358 Michael Stapelberg).
359 - the direction of VPR and VPB commands was reversed.
360 - fix alignment of inherited root pixmap when it is a different size
361 than the root window and the terminal window is off the left or top
362 edge (Mikachu).
363 - make $self visible in "eval perl expression" popup action, also
364 handle exceptions better.
365 - fix parsing of '-e' when it occurs as an option argument, such as in
366 'urxvt -title -e' (Emanuele Giaquinta).
367
3689.12 Wed Jun 29 14:34:28 CEST 2011
369 - fix regression in processing of SelectionNotify events.
370 urxvt would fail to request a selection if the owner did not
371 support the UTF8_STRING target.
372 - fix rendering of double width chars in certain circumstances, more
373 likely to happen if urxvt is compiled with 256 colors support as
374 urxvt runs out of fonts much earlier then. Fixes gentoo bug #358151
375 (Emanuele Giaquinta).
376 - restore support for 'list' syntax in keysym resources (requested by Sung Pae).
377 - always premultiply colour values - while this increases differences between
378 core fonts and xft, it is "more correct" in practical situations.
379 - disable PTYTTY_REENTRANT option - not needed for urxvt and saves a bit of code.
380 - remove lucidatypewriter from the list of fallback fonts, it was the only
381 non-xft non-cellfont in the list anyway.
382
3839.11 Mon May 2 10:34:46 CEST 2011
384 - fix compilation on GNU/Hurd, debian bug #624736.
385 - remove 'list' syntax for keysym resources, as it serves no useful purpose.
386 If you need it, poke us and provide a use case.
387 - fix alpha channel support. Premultiply alpha in colours if the visual
388 supports an alpha channel, as xrender expects premultiplied alpha
389 (Emanuele Giaquinta).
390 - fix reply to a selection request sent by an obsolete client
391 such as syncterm (patch by Marcin Cieslak).
392 - fix crash when the window is resized and the overlay is active
393 (Emanuele Giaquinta, reported by Ryan Kavanagh).
394 - match character-wise rather than byte-wise in selection
395 extension again. perl 5.8.9+ is required to avoid extreme
396 slowdowns. Fixes debian bugs #523072, #616463.
397 - fix a possible crash if the INCR transfer process for a
398 selection property timeouts and at least one chunk is
399 received. (Emanuele Giaquinta)
400 - work around a memory corruption bug in xorg's XrmSetDatabase (apparently
401 broken since http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/xorg-commit-diffs/2004-March/000239.html).
402 - fix memory corruption bug when custom command sequences bound to keys
403 were injected into an already-full pty input buffer.
404 - gdk-pixbuf is autodetected by default and preferred over libafterimage.
405 - do not prepend a newline to the selection text when the starting line
406 of the selection is not highlighted (Emanuele Giaquinta).
407 - don't swap perl env with real env, save and restore it, just in case
408 we ever get recursive perl invocations. also saves a bit of codespace
409 with gcc.
410 - fix various memory leaks (Emanuele Giaquinta).
411 - fix typo in kIC terminfo capability, debian bug #446444.
412 - document 'thickness' resource.
413 - fix debian bug #504817, to the extent possible.
414 - try to detect byte order at compile time, saves a couple of
415 hundred bytes, if your compiler is smart enough.
416 - add support for previewing the pasted data in confirm-paste
417 (Emanuele Giaquinta).
418 - added "newlines to spaces" option in selection-popup.
419 - actually enabled solaris event ports backend (was disabled by accident).
420 - revert to 38400 baud max., mission accomplished.
421 - no longer create scary "pty_fill: PLEASE REPORT" message, instead,
422 silently drain the input (problem is well understood now).
423 - no longer swallow rob nation's own graphics mode commands.
424
4259.10 Mon Dec 13 17:43:52 CET 2010
426 - the "schmorp=north korea dickey=south korea" release.
427 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: make OSC 20 simpler and more correct
428 (Emanuele Giaquinta).
429 - if options were compiled out, this could lead to the option
430 count to be defined wrongly. This is likely behind the
431 failures with gcc 4.5.
432 - explicitly depend on fontconfig and xrender when xft support
433 is enabled. Although the public Xft api uses types from
434 both, in Xft 2.2.0 these libs are private
435 dependencies only thanks to an idiotic behaviour of
436 pkg-config that was added to workaround cases like this one.
437 Fixes linking when using GNU ld with --as-needed or GNU gold
438 (based on patch by Jan Palus).
439 - fix minor memory leaks in urxvt and urxvtd.
440 - fix regression in urxvtd that prevented options from being correctly
441 set (reported by Michal Vaner).
442 - implement xterm's horribly broken 1005 mouse reporting mode,
443 and an alternative 1015 mode that works in non-utf-8 locales
444 and has fewer limitations.
445 - fix a possible bug where mouse notifications didn't work after
446 startup for the upper left corner.
447 - implement our own pixbuf to pixmap rendering to get rid of
448 dependency on buggy gdk-pixbuf-xlib. Only truecolor visuals
449 are supported (Emanuele Giaquinta).
450 - apply tinting before shading when both operations are requested.
451 Previously they were intermixed when lightening and the result
452 was inaccurate and confusing. Note that now a black tint yields a
453 completely black image, regardless of shading (Emanuele Giaquinta).
454 - avoid spurious redraws of the bg image when bg is transparent or
455 when using 'root' mode (Emanuele Giaquinta).
456 - fix build on XFree86.
457 - dynamically number options according to compiletime requirements.
458 For the extra saved byte. Or so. Yay.
459 - start options at one, not zero. Wastes a bit per terminal. Maybe.
460 saves 50 instruction bytes. Possibly.
461
4629.09 Sat Nov 13 01:39:07 CET 2010
463 - NOTICE: this release updates terminfo/termcap.
464 - the bestest release ever.
465 - it was verified that urxvt handles µ and μ correctly.
466 - add support for blending and blurring with XRender (Emanuele Giaquinta).
467 - add support for using gdk-pixbuf as image backend (Emanuele Giaquinta).
468 - cleanup and minor fixes of the image code (Emanuele Giaquinta).
469 - new perl extension "confirm-paste" (Emanuele Giaquinta).
470 - new on_tt_paste perl hook and tt_paste perl binding (Emanuele Giaquinta).
471 - new on_bell perl hook (Emanuele Giaquinta).
472 - searchable-scrollback no longer ignores the first line
473 (Emanuele Giaquinta).
474 - properly set VSTATUS in termios for *BSD (reported by Ed Schouten).
475 - fix utmpx detection on upcoming FreeBSD 9.
476 - Use COMPOUND_TEXT encoding for WM_NAME/WM_ICON_NAME value when it
477 is not fully convertible to STRING (patch by James Cloos).
478 - fix a buffer overflow that would cause wrong key sequences to
479 be generated for numpad keys (introduced in 9.05).
480 - fix definition of sgr0 to work around limitations in luit.
481 - extend ISO 14755 5.4 mode to also print the font name of the
482 characters other than first one in the selected cell
483 (Emanuele Giaquinta).
484 - new iso14755 option to disable ISO 14755 at runtime
485 (Emanuele Giaquinta).
486 - make sure pagewise scrolling scrolls at least one line
487 (found by Mikachu).
488 - remove deprecated OSC 18 / 19 and make OSC 17 / 19 apply to
489 highlightColor / highlightTextColor (Emanuele Giaquinta).
490 - add highlightTextColor resource to change the foreground colour of
491 highlighted characters (Emanuele Giaquinta).
492 - make highlightColor apply also to selected cells with reverse video
493 but not to non selected cells with reverse video (Emanuele Giaquinta).
494 - remove colorRV resource (it was enabled only with frills off).
495 - fix numlock handling, the most longstanding bug to date (Emanuele Giaquinta).
496 - reduce the number of custom bits to 4, to make room
497 for 256 colours.
498 - add support for 256 colors (Emanuele Giaquinta, Marc Lehmann).
499 - add rxvt-unicode-256color terminfo and use it by default in 256 colors mode.
500 - update rxvt-unicode terminfo to state 7744 colour pairs to cover all
501 88*88 possible pairs.
502 - actually added macosx-clipboard-native, which should have been in
503 the 9.07 release but had been forgotten.
504 - fix hang if DECAWM is not set and there are not enough columns to insert a
505 character (Emanuele Giaquinta).
506 - cub1 ("backspace") will now respect wrapping when past the rightmost column,
507 working around a shortcoming of most tty line discipline's line editing.
508 - add support for grabbing the clipboard selection and extend
509 selection{_clear,_grab,} perl bindings to optionally work
510 on the clipboard selection (based on patch by Dana Jansens).
511 - no longer force CERASE to BACKSPACE - use the system default. affects
512 default value for VERASE only when no compatible setting for
513 backspacekey was given.
514 - use higher than 38400 baudrate setting, if detected.
515 - erase screen would clear to the wrong background when blinking
516 was enabled (which selects high intensity under some circumstances).
517 - scr_kill_char didn't touch the line.
518 - upgrade and port to libev-4.01.
519 - enabled solaris event ports and kqueue backends (if available).
520
5219.07 Wed Dec 30 07:07:18 CET 2009
522 - port to glibc-2.10 changes (strchr etc. returning const char *
523 in C++), based on patches by Milos Jakubicek and Oliver Mader.
524 - the binary search algorithm to find precomposed characters
525 was faulty, skipping some possible combinations (found by
526 Mikachu).
527 - new -letterspace option, patch by Mark H. Wilkinson.
528 - enable --mlock option for urxvt with frills on
529 systems supporting it (patch by Russell Harmon).
530 - urxvt did not compile without frills enabled
531 (analysed by Matthew Rosewarne).
532 - correctly reset the mbstate after an illegal
533 input sequence when handling terminal output (Emanuele Giaquinta).
534 - avoid redrawing wide characters with combining enabled on every
535 refresh (reported by Mikachu).
536 - fix a typo preventing the ISO-646.1991 character set from being
537 recognized (http://achurch.org/patch-pile/).
538 - better warning for x11 font encoding detection failures, also,
539 try to deduce encoding from both font properties and name
540 (adapted from http://achurch.org/patch-pile/).
541 - resizing the window with the scrollbar disabled via the escapes
542 sequence could make the window bigger again (Mikachu).
543 - make sure the alignment for fd passing control messages
544 is correct and work around some NetBSD issues (Taylor R Campbell).
545 - update to libptytty 1.3.
546 - replace macosx-clipboard by a nicer version by Reza Jelveh, and move
547 the old version to macosx-clipboard-native.
548 - document the -uc option (Emanuele Giaquinta).
549 - assertions in libev are now enabled depending on frills.
550 - update AnyEvent implementation to version 5.23 API.
551 - work around arrogant bsd idiocies again: netbsd spills the default
552 namespace with lots of symbols "for gnu/gcc compatibility" even
553 though neither of them does it, and then calls the rest of the world
554 in need of fixing. go figure.
555 - on_keyboard_command is on_user_command (patch by Michael Witten).
556 - setting the selection from perl will now reset the selection screen
557 to the current screen. the screen can be manipulated using
558 the new ->selection_screen method.
559 - implement --enable-assert configure option and get rid of DEBUG_STRICT
560 (based on patch by Emanuele Giaquinta).
561 - fix printpipe data output (patch by Emanuele Giaquinta).
562 - allow `xxx' quoting style for perl selection.
563 - upgrade to libev-3.9 prerelease.
564 - updated compose tables to unicode 5.2.0.
565
5669.06 Sat Nov 8 17:47:18 CET 2008
567 - NOTICE: this release updates terminfo/termcap.
568 - updates libev to 3.48.
569 - the aterm code now frees the as visual and image manager objects
570 when a window was closed.
571 - do not (wrongly) adjust the virtual line length inside
572 scr_insdel_chars/ERASE (Miroslav Lichvar).
573 - fix an issue where wide tab characters caused character shifts
574 when part of them was deleted (tracked down by Miroslav Lichvar).
575 - artificially enlargen the previous character at the end of a line
576 when trying to output a character that doesn't fit. looks ugly, but
577 makes copy&paste work.
578 - remove bogus "setuid/setgid security issues" from rxvt.1.pod, they
579 no longer apply.
580 - the urgency hint is now cleared on both focus in and focus out.
581 - cache urgency hint locally to avoid server rtt on every focus change.
582 - perl 5.10 needs PERL_SYS_INIT3 on hppa.
583 - ignore byte-order marks and do not treat them like combining characters.
584 - fix build issue when CURSOR_BLINK is not defined (Emanuele Giaquinta).
585 - do some µ-optimisations to the character fast path.
586 - use a less cunning, but more robust algorithm to avoid one terminal
587 monopolising the whole process by outputting a lot of text.
588 - try to work around linux first breaking sched_yield and now breaking
589 the only known workaround.
590 - new option -icon to set _NET_WM_ICON (based on patch by Frank Schmitt).
591 - initialise the as visual only on demand, instead of unconditionally,
592 to save memory in the common case of not using visual gimmicks.
593 - try to work around bugs in a few wm's that erroneously resize
594 client windows on hint property updates by temporarily
595 disabling size hints.
596 - implement the DECSTR soft reset sequence and use it for tput init,
597 and make hard RIS and DECSTR both reset more private modes, such
598 as mouse reporting.
599 - redundantly clear mouse reporting and a few other states in
600 tput init/tput reset, for older urxvts.
601 - partial/full clear screens did cause flickering and possibly pixel
602 droppings when urxvt viewed the scrollback buffer.
603 - use current rendition style in DCH sequence.
604 - the 132/80 mode switch no longer forces a screen reset.
605 - add an osc sequence to change the border colour (Emanuele Giaquinta).
606 - new perl extension "overlay-osc", for status displays and the like.
607 - fix some minor cursor drawing issues with overlays by allowing
608 overlays to modify screen flags (to disable the cursor themselves).
609 - work around programs not restoring rstyle before rmcup
610 (analysed by Miroslav Lichvar).
611
6129.05 Sun Jun 15 20:09:20 CEST 2008
613 - new option --cd/chdir to set the starting working directory.
614 - tabbed extension now starts in the "correct" working directory.
615 - work around fedora 9 providing isastream but not the relevant
616 header file for it (report by Tuncer Ayaz).
617 - upgrade libev, fixing a bug in the select backend.
618 with more than 31 file descriptors on non-linux 64 bit systems.
619 - correctly reset the multibyte state to the initial one
620 after EILSEQ (patch by Neil Booth). This fixes the
621 issue of rxvt-unicode not properly displaying text after an illegal
622 sequence on NetBSD and probably other systems.
623 - more intelligent property handling with -pe tabbed, works around
624 broken window managers (kwm et al.), saves bandwidth and should
625 help working window managers as well.
626 - made tabs moveable (based on a patch by Petr Machata).
627 - implement ESC [ 3 K as a more rational alternative to ESC [ 0 K.
628 - support relative paths for RXVT_SOCKET in urxvtd.
629 - the tabbed extension now blindly copies over all (rxvt-) resources
630 from the toplevel window to the children.
631 - better diagnostic on 0x0 window geometries.
632 - update AnyEvent API to version 3.4 and above.
633 - document the default value of :0 for DISPLAY.
634 - rename perl method XChangeWindowProperty to XChangeProperty.
635
6369.02 Tue Jan 29 11:58:36 CET 2008
637 - the "exg makes everybody happy" release.
638 - fix build with !xft.
639 - always compile in plain style scrollbar (simplifies code and looks great).
640
6419.01 Sat Jan 26 20:49:27 CET 2008
642 - be more aggressive about handling X events, this seems to be required
643 with newer xlibs (should fix the "screen stays black until event is
644 received" problem, again :)
645 - add buffered resource to control xft double-buffering.
646
6479.0 Fri Jan 25 19:34:04 CET 2008
648 - fix a crash bug where urxvtd would crash when urxvtc was called
649 with wrong arguments (I wish debian maintainers in general would
650 report bugs and their proposed fixes to the original package maintainers
651 instead of sitting on them for good measure to see if anybody notices).
652 - drawing xft compose characters was causing garbage to be drawn.
653 - correctly clear xft character background in all cases.
654 - implement bracketed paste mode (xterm private mode 2004).
655 - improve documentation on alpha channel handling, make urxvt
656 work better on servers lacking the RENDER extension when alpha
657 channels or background images are used.
658 - check for refresh after initialising to avoid staying blank
659 till the first event arrives. or so.
660 - the FORCE_UNBUFFERED_XFT feature macro works again.
661 - continuously update transparency while moving/resizing now.
662 - OSC 39/49 are deprecated and aliased to OSC 10/11.
663 - cub1 now acts as advertised (and ignores the "wrapped" state).
664 - the 132/80 mode switch now forces a height of 24, too, and
665 resets the terminal.
666 - scrollbar code cleanups.
667 - stopping children is no longer confused with children exiting.
668 - removed (undocumented) #aarrggbb format.
669 - updated to libev 3.0.
670
6718.9 Mon Dec 24 07:51:40 CET 2007
672 - fix the issue where urxvtd would not immediately close a window
673 when the command exited but only on the next X event.
674 - changed terminfo file not to use application keypad mode.
675 - fix the issue where making a selection in one urxvtd window
676 would not clear it visually in another.
677 - fix an issue of urxvt not getting background pixmap updates
678 and flickering after bg pixmap changes (reported by Mikachu).
679 - fix redraw bug in xterm scrollbar with -sr (reported by Mikachu).
680 - correctly provide dependencies for libev (µikachu).
681 - minor code reorganisations and cleanups.
682 - be more robust in case the urxvt-popup extension cannot be loaded.
683
6848.8 Sat Dec 15 19:40:39 CET 2007
685 - option -C was aliased to all unsupported options, activating
686 options that shouldn't be compiled in, leading to interesting
687 effects.
688 - updated libev, working around a bug in linux 2.4, curing the
689 symptom of urxvt not closing its window on shell exit. also
690 fixes a problem with urxvt not refreshing.
691 - the text blink callback was called even when no blinking
692 text was visible.
693 - pre-8.4 slipwheeling behaviour has been reinstated, with
694 some minor improvements.
695 - streamlined x events processing to only flush once per
696 display and not once per terminal window.
697 - quite a bit of minor code cleanups and codesize optimisations.
698
6998.7 Sun Nov 25 10:23:49 CET 2007
700 - update libev with an important bugfix that would cause crashes
701 when closing windows (when using rxvtd, and update is recommended).
702 - do not compile in the block builtin graphics with --disable-frills.
703
7048.6 Fri Nov 23 14:10:57 CET 2007
705 - upgrade libev to disable kqueue on anything but netbsd as it
706 seems to be broken everywhere else w.r.t. ptys.
707 - allow for spurious event notifications, as at least epoll and
708 especially solaris ports like to lie about them (symptoms:
709 urxvt "hangs" until there is some x11 related activity).
710 - -keysym command line options are now subjected to xlib parsing.
711 - add 'xrm' option analogous to Xt one.
712
7138.5a Wed Nov 21 10:16:33 CET 2007
714 - make it compile with --disable-transparency.
715
7168.5 Wed Nov 21 05:19:20 CET 2007
717 - expect major portability issues in this release: please test and report.
718 - converted from the veritable io manager event loop to
719 the high performance libev (http://software.schmorp.de/pkg/libev).
720 - minor tuning to the perl selection (include single words and more quoting chars).
721 - fix memory leak in pixmap code.
722 - fix a serious bug while setting the XIM destroy callback
723 on (typical) 64 bit systems.
724 - automove-background functionality re-implemented internally using :root op in pixmap
725 geometry string. For example: rxvt -pixmap "image.jpg;:root"
726 - do not link rxvtc against every lib on the planet anymore.
727 - parallel builds should work once more.
728
7298.4 Sat Oct 27 14:02:13 CEST 2007
730 - overhaul of the transparency/pixmap code (sasha).
731 - fix possible race between visual bell and poweron.
732 (reported by Martin von Gagern, gentoo?).
733 - urxvt -e no longer crashes the child.
734 - fixed some minor memleaks on incorrect usage or
735 missing DISPLAY.
736 - implement xterm 1002/1003 mouse tracking modes (exg).
737 - source code organisational cleanups (exg).
738 - updated io_manager.
739
7408.3 Wed Aug 1 20:21:31 CEST 2007
741 - new option: skipScroll/-ss, enabled by default.
742 - go with the times and expect x11 library files in /usr/lib, not
743 /usr/X11R6/lib.
744 - initial transparency improvement/afterimage support
745 patch by Sasha Vasko.
746 - add urgentOnBell resource to set the urgency hint
747 (patch by Philip Paeps).
748 - do not process focus events caused by grabs
749 (patch by Mikachu).
750 - add iso14755_52 resource to disable iso14755 5.2 (exg).
751 - add binding for backspace in iso14755 5.1 to remove the last
752 digit (exg).
753 - better option handling, support more than 30 options (exg).
754 - nuke reconf script, serves no purpose anymore.
755 - fixed and documented matcher/on_user_command processing in matcher
756 extension (tpope).
757 - compile out of the box on Solaris 10 (exg).
758 - fix MappingNotify events (reported by Stephan Walter).
759 - zero-initialise mwmhints, this seems to solve all sorts of minor
760 problems.
761
7628.2 Sat Feb 17 21:35:28 CET 2007
763 - fix make depend in src/, reported by exg.
764 - fixed typo in urxvt::GET_CUSTOM, causing the result to be wrong.
765 (patch by Sergey Vlasov).
766 - unbundled iom perl interface somewhat.
767 - scrollbar-xterm now uses the selected scrollColor instead of fg
768 (found by Aiviru).
769 - disabled linux kernel bug workaround again: disabling it gives
770 a 50% speed hit on affected machines, while enabling it gives
771 a similar speed hit to screen, which is likely the more common
772 case to work around for :/
773 - urxvt::rend2mask perl function, and utilization of it by matcher
774 (patch by Moshe Kamensky).
775 - use perl:matcher on a keysym to open most recently displayed URL.
776 - with matcher, when multiple patterns match, last wins, not first.
777 - fix make and make install with srcdir != builddir (exg).
778 - updated bundled libptytty to fix a bug where the tty would be kept
779 open (see the libptytty ChangeLog for details).
780 - delay setting the IUTF8 flag to after the tty settings have been
781 set so its value does not get lost (reported and analysed by Andrei
782 Paskevich).
783 - rip out support for obsolete sgtty.h interface.
784 - rip out support for non-POSIX termios variants.
785 - update libptytty.
786 - update iom.C, make it call ptytty::sanitise_stdfd on init.
787 - when !XFT, change rounding of colours to use a less correct formula to
788 meet user expectancies (#aaa becomes #a000a000a000 not #9f9f9f9f9f9f).
789 - change the starting offset of the pixmap set with backgroundPixmap
790 from (50,50) to (0,0) (exg).
791 - fix a typo in button_release, now meta-button2 request the value of
792 the Clipboard selection as it should (patch by Serge Koksharov).
793 - fix a bug in drawing a cell with a nonspacing char when using an xft
794 font with inheritPixmap and tintColor (exg).
795
7968.1 Thu Dec 7 22:27:25 CET 2006
797 - ｹﾘｽﾏｽﾌ゚ﾚｾ゙ﾝﾄ - zomg!!1, it's too early!!!
798 - fix the assumption that chars < 256 are single-width. Now
799 only assume this for codepoints 32 to 126 (reported by Dai.H.).
800 - $term->strwidth returned wide chars as width 1, because some jerk
801 confused min and max. Fixing this also fixes xim-onthespot.
802 Reported by Takano Akio.
803 - secondaryScroll is now enabled by default (as per the manpage),
804 reported by exg.
805 - correct the description of [percent]color rgba format in the manpage.
806 - incorporated macosx-clipboard extension by Samuel Ljungkvist.
807 - ignore (some) useless focus events (reported by mmc).
808 - updated compose table to unicode 5.0.0.
809
8108.0 Thu Nov 2 18:35:19 CET 2006
811 - combining characters cleared the area instead of creating an overlay,
812 thus losing the ability to draw combining characters properly in most
813 circumstances (reported by exg).
814 - specified fonts were incorrectly morphed to bold/italic according to the
815 basefont, even if explicitly specified (tracked down by tpope).
816 - fixed urxvt::strwidth to calculate width in the same way as screen.C.
817 - fix a crash caused by passing negative widths to overlay functions.
818 - added 'matcher' extension by tpope, replacing the mark-urls extension.
819 - improve url regex to match anything www.* (tpope).
820 - fixed bug with outline cursor color being wrong after xft fonts.
821 - update to libptytty-1.0.
822 - give proper diagnostic when RXVT_SOCKET is too long instead of
823 corrupting the stack (patch by exg).
824 - display current terminal locale in option menu.
825 - urxvtd no longer crashes when the client sends an inaccessible
826 working directory (reported by Roland Baer, possibly fixes gentoo
827 bug #143985).
828 - fixed many minor issues reported by Roland Baer.
829 - Leonid Khramov spotted a minor glitch in rxvtfont.C that
830 should not have any consequences, but was buggy nonetheless.
831 - manpage fix by exg.
832
8337.9 Mon Aug 7 18:16:07 CEST 2006
834 - fix the crashing bug people encountered with 7.8 + urxvtd + perl
835 + transparency. Ought to fix debian bug #380348.
836 - fix urxvtc.1.pod: it actually claimed -pty-fd would not work. But
837 it does! :->
838 - rxvt_fatal() in case the locale string is too long for our static buffer.
839 - fixed many, many, typos in the manpages (patch supplied by ves).
840
8417.8 Mon Jul 17 21:00:46 CEST 2006
842 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: this version will always read ~/.Xdefaults,
843 earlier versions only read it if display-resources (usually from
844 .Xresources) are not set. This avoids the #1 FAQ ("why isn't my
845 resource used") and seems to be logical behaviour, too. .Xdefaults
846 resources have a lower priority than display-specific resources.
847 - add "kuake" perl extension that does a similar thing to the kuake
848 terminal emulator (see man urxvtperl).
849 - use less "correct" color scaling that is compatible with libX11 and
850 Xft (avoids off-by-one colors resulting in striped backgrounds).
851 - the "depth" resource is now respected.
852 - preset the searchable-scrollback pattern with "(?i)" to default search
853 to case-insensitivity. Will automatically be cleared when typing an
854 uppercase character.
855 - add FORCE_UNBUFFERED_XFT define to features.h.
856 - re-enabled highlightcolor support with --enable-frills, based on
857 a patch by Martin Stubenschrott.
858 - double-buffered xft drawing did suffer from pixel offset issues
859 when pixmap transparency was enabled.
860 - strategically add # to the url-match regexes, as we really want to
861 match common URIs not common URLs. Reported by Aaron Griffin.
862 - moved on_osc_seq to on_osc_seq_perl and added a more
863 generic osc_seq.
864 - fix a bug causing double callback invocations when perl hooks
865 were invoked recursively.
866 - the automove-background extension now properly works when the
867 pixmap gets reset with an osc sequence (sqweek).
868 - selection-pastebin did not work properly with non-latin1-characters.
869 - apply colorUL only when the text colour is the default fg
870 (patch by Wu Fengguang).
871 - removed rxvtlib.h from the tarball, it had no reason to be there
872 (spotted by Decklin Foster).
873 - fix compiling with TRANSPARENT but !XPM_BACKGROUND, as reported
874 by omatunto_.
875 - slap in a using namespace std, might help on platforms that don't
876 follow C++ closely enough.
877 - fix mailto url regex, spotted within milliseconds by Jost Krieger.
878 - applied fade_color_update_func.patch by WU Fengguang.
879 - fix a bug where (due to an optimisation in av_delete), hiding the
880 bottom-most overlay would hide two overlays.
881
8827.7 Tue Feb 21 12:32:49 CET 2006
883 - use double-buffered drawing (xft fonts only). On many driver/hardware
884 combination this actually increases xft drawing speed, at the expense
885 of more network bandwidth and slight nausea on the side of the author.
886 - readline perl extension now requires shift-click instead of a normal
887 click, and eats the click.
888 - tabbed perl extension now supports -e.
889 - disabled graphics-exposures on the main drawing GC, report any
890 refresh bugs please.
891 - improve property handling for -pe tabbed: avoid unnecessary property
892 changes (for kde's benefit) at the expense of extra round-trips,
893 improve size hint setting.
894 - modified XIM according to a patch sent by Takano Akio that sets
895 the preedit rectangle for OverTheSpot, which helps some input methods
896 to correctly position their preedit window.
897 - un-optimise the line clearing on newly scrolled-in lines a bit: the
898 former reasoning was that any fg colour on default bg looks the same
899 in empty spaces, but that's not true when reversing (e.g. selection),
900 so also check for matching fg colours. This fixes the problem where
901 selecting newly scrolled-in lines would exhibit wrong colours.
902 - fix a bug in the perl interface causing focus in events to generate
903 focus out perl events, causing bad focus effects with -pe tabbed.
904 - fix a race resulting in a crash on exiting.
905 - fix a with --disable-xft that caused xfreecolors to be called on
906 colors never allocated, resulting in aborts (reported by Paco-Paco).
907 - resources on non-initial screens weren't refetched correctly
908 (reported by Paco-Paco).
909 - fix a bug in xcopyarea pass and _disable_ it, as it seems not to be
910 working in either rxvt-unicode nor in the original rxvt.
911 - removed undocumented -exec alias for the -e option.
912
9137.6 Fri Feb 10 08:52:36 CET 2006
914 - changed interpretation of [alpha] colour prefix.
915 - +option now really sets the option to default, instead of using the
916 resource value.
917 - options that require an argument now really _require_ an argument.
918 - the tabbed extension now forwards focus and key events to the
919 relevant tab window.
920 - tab colours are now configurable and have sensible defaults
921 (initial patch by hednod).
922 - option menu is extendable, readline, selection and
923 selection-autotransform can now be disabled/enabled at runtime.
924 - forcing a configure event to tabbed subwindows with -pe tabbed, for
925 the benefit of automove-background.
926 - the automove-background extension added a wrong constant offset.
927 - force refresh of XA_RESOURCE_STRING on virtual reconnect.
928 - return exit status 2 in urxvtc when urxvtd couldn't be contacted.
929 - the linux yield hack is back, now using usleep, and enabled only on
930 __linux__.
931 - further round trip eliminations in the !XFT case by remembering
932 the colour components.
933 - plain scrollbar works better with -sr.
934 - fixed half-shadow scrollbar look.
935 - more colour rtt optimisations.
936 - properly(?) free colours on window close.
937 - reorganised the FAQ into multiple sections.
938 - add ISO646.1991-IRV to the list of supported codesets.
939 - minor libptytty update.
940
9417.5 Tue Jan 31 15:15:43 CET 2006
942 - further improvements to the careful mode detection, and font width
943 detection:
944 - fully double-wide fonts will now be correctly treated,
945 - overlap detection was improved.
946 - detect totally broken fonts (usually synthesized by xft).
947 - careful mode forced refresh sometimes clashed with blinking,
948 causing unnecessary screen redraws.
949 - better handling of XFT combining characters.
950 - enable antialiasing for some replacement fonts, as they
951 might get used for other encodings which really need it, later.
952 - remove spacing=100 from all default fonts, as this creates totally
953 weird spacing (5 times normal) with xft.
954 - removed iso10646 fallback, as xorgs iso10646 encoded fonts are mostly
955 broken.
956 - removed gnu unifont fallback, all combining characters are broken.
957 - replace named colours by xorg's rgb.txt equivalents, to
958 reduce round trip time on startup, and short-cut allocation
959 of rgb:rr/gg/bb for xft.
960 - short-cut allocation of rgb values in the xlib case
961 (patch by Paco-Paco).
962 - overhauled color management: smaller codesize, alpha support.
963 - support "rgba:rrrr/gggg/bbbb/aaaa" color specifications and
964 an "[alpha]" prefix.
965 - try to work around Xft and Xrender forcing everything to be 100%
966 transparent. Long Live Xft!
967 - do not include X11/Intrinsic.h anymore, directly use
968 Xlib/Xutil/Xresource directly.
969 - try to find a nearest matching color when color allocation fails
970 on a pseudocolor screen.
971 - SYNCCVS: compared to rxvt-cvs 2006-01-28, no relevant changes.
972 - fix version report (DA) (which was unfortunately broken).
973 - changed version number report again, now to emulate xterm closer.
974 - added the OSC sequence 702 to detect the urxvt version number.
975 - small configure updates.
976 - further RTT optimisations.
977 - backported clean-up patches for makefiles and documentation from
978 the debian package.
979 - updated doc/rxvt-unicode.spec file. It's still not maintained here,
980 but much newer than the old one.
981
9827.4 Sat Jan 28 15:26:27 CET 2006
983 - screen background wasn't always erased properly when scrolling,
984 - re-enabled clearing optimisation disabled in 7.4pre.
985 - small configure updates for libptytty.
986 - fixed version options: line output.
987 - removed stoopid debugging message left in the code.
988
9897.3 Wed Jan 25 22:47:35 CET 2006
990 - don't let iso14755 or mouse reporting get into the way of perl
991 (could lead to global grabs never being cleared).
992 - experimental OnTheSpot editing support (-pe xim-onthespot).
993 - moved Shift-Button2 paste combination to Meta-Button2.
994 - the cutchars resource will now be respected and used by the
995 selection extension.
996 - added the "remote-clipboard" extension which just runs external
997 commands to fetch and store the selection data.
998 - added -depth switch that tries to get a different visual depth
999 than the default (replaces the old PREFER_24_BIT logic).
1000 - removed (unused) arabic presentation form composing sequences.
1001 - be more strict when deciding that a core font glyph is too wide and
1002 needs the careful rendering mode.
1003 - allow more leeway for italic fonts when deciding that a character is
1004 too wide and needs careful mode.
1005 - redraw even more characters around characters using careful mode.
1006 - made selection-pastebin fully asynchronous.
1007 - reduced number of server turnarounds at startup by allocating
1008 atoms only once per display.
1009 - renamed on_keyboard_command to on_user_command.
1010 - changed version sos (ESC [ > c) response to be more compatible with
1011 xterm.
1012
10137.2 Sun Jan 22 21:58:16 CET 2006
1014 - bugfix: urxvt (not urxvtd) did not correctly handle multiple
1015 environments necessary, which resulted in segfaults within
1016 getenv (reproducible: urxvt -fn 9x15, open a menu once,
1017 ctrl-shift-672c).
1018 - bugfix: the selection speedup in in 7.1 unfortunately caused
1019 non-ascii characters to enlarge/move the selection.
1020 - bugfix: resizing sometimes leaked lines from the secondary to
1021 the primary screen.
1022 - bugfix: reducing window size while large amounts of text were output
1023 could lead to an assertion failure.
1024 - added "tabbed" extension that provides a crude tabbed terminal.
1025 - added "readline" extension that allows cursor positioning
1026 via mouse clicks.
1027 - now it is possible to insert the value of the CLIPBOARD selection
1028 with shift - mouse button 2.
1029 - fixed the automove-background extension to ignore coordinates
1030 in non-synthetic events.
1031 - created a separate libpty for portable and secure
1032 pty/tty/utmp/wtmp/lastlog handling, and include it in rxvt-unicode.
1033 - the non-terminfo visual bell now works asynchronously, so
1034 continuous ASCI BELs in one terminal do no longer monopolise the
1035 whole urxvt[d] process.
1036 - support some *BSD makes (for the time being, gnu make is a safe bet).
1037 - work around bugs in FreeBSD's gcc.
1038 - implemented some *BSD fixes in configure.
1039 - removed support for obsolete offix dnd protocol.
1040
10417.1 Thu Jan 19 20:25:34 CET 2006
1042 - setuid/setgid operation is now _encouraged_: security has been
1043 improved by moving privileged operations into a separate process
1044 and permanently dropping privileges within the terminal. This
1045 makes it possible to remove security checks from the perl code
1046 and gives a much safer feeling when urxvt needs to run with
1047 special privileges.
1048 - perl taint checking disabled, as urxvt no longer runs setuid/setgid
1049 itself.
1050 - new perl extension automove-background that can be used to get
1051 the same effect as pseudo-transparency with any pixmap.
1052 - new perl extension example: perl/selection-pastebin, can be used to
1053 e.g. upload the selection to a webserver and generate a url, or
1054 similar stuff.
1055 - use the scrollback buffer even when the scroll region doesn't
1056 span the whole screen, as long as it starts at row 0. Helps
1057 for programs displaying a status line at the bottom.
1058 - selection popup now shows selection in dec/hex/oct.
1059 - perl/selection: matching on unicode characters in the selection
1060 code was O(n²), which equals infinity in some degenerate cases
1061 :-> Matching is now done on UTF-8, which makes it almost instant.
1062 - perl/selection, perl/selection-autotransform: regexes are now
1063 being interpreted in the locale urxvt was started.
1064 - implemented override-redirect option and enabled it on menus,
1065 as kwin puts our windows behind the terminal (what a shoddy wm).
1066 - fixed struct utmp check in configure for OpenBSD.
1067 - complete overhaul of the pty/utmp management stuff and configure
1068 (Emanuele Giaquinta=exg).
1069 - add tsl/fsl and related capabilities to the terminfo description,
1070 to set the window title.
1071 - swap the environment in some more cases. This hopefully fixes
1072 some segfaults that might be caused by xft asking for env variables
1073 at the wrong time.
1074 - removed src/strings.C and src/menubar.C. No menubar support
1075 anymore.
1076 - removed all traces of SMOOTH_REFRESH.
1077 - nuked QNX support.
1078 - made some fixes to xpm offset and scaling code.
1079 - perl-overlays and refresh hooks were not applied in correct order.
1080 - changed coordinate-system of view_start/nsaved to be top to bottom.
1081 - iom extended to support listening for child exits.
