3TODO: move pty/tty handling into a fork'ed server and drop all privs 3TODO: xcopyarea pass broken, fix and improve
4TODO: harmonize --disable-options into position-dependent options. 4TODO: event mechanism that replaces on_user_command with something more scalable.
5TODO: after requesting the selection and getting a timeout, no further requests will be sent. 5TODO: slipwheeling needs a keyboard grab to get key release events.
6TODO: overlays collide with the way the out-of-focus cursor is being drawn
6TODO: "slow" rendering mode for bidi and scripts 7TODO: "slow" rendering mode for bidi and scripts, pango!
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.
10WISH: OnTheSpot editing, or maybe switch to miiiiiiif. or maybe use perl and an overlay... 11WISH: investigate -pe tabbed -g 80x25 being 23 not 24 or 25 lines
11WISH: just for fun, do shade and tint with XRender. 12 => when setting the constraints, the wm might (correctly)
13 resize the outer window, which might result in a smaller window overall.
14 or something like that. guys, send me a patch.
15WISH: coloured pastebin

20TODO: command line editing when icanon?
21TODO: split ROW into a ROW_fast (0..total*2-1) and ROW macros?
22TODO: catch exceptions when calling perl hooks
23TODO: xdbe
24TODO: optimise bg reeval for resize for common patterns (pixmap bigger than window?)
25TODO: pack rxvt_fatal messages into the exception object
26TODO: load must not cache, but global image cache must be cleaned
27TODO: description into --help output?
28TODO: rxvt -help => (see rxvt-XXX(1))?

37TODO: c&c perl socket via daemon-ext mechanism
38TODO: simplify extension metainfo cache, cache on disk
39TODO: URxvt::Ext::Name installs urxvt ext name and provides pod/manpage for URxvt::Ext::Name
40TODO: üpixel droppins idenrasm,ll,scrollup
41TODO: cuu/cud and probably others default to 1 when arg is 0, not just missing, in xterm/vt102, but not in rxvt
42TODO: clean up the resource vs. long option mess, especially in the manpage.
43TODO: think about daemon delaying urxvt client exit.
44IDEA: use harfbuzz to render combining sequences, maybe also complex scripts

53TODO: click through mode / https://shallowsky.com/blog/2017/Apr/06/
54
55TODO:
5603:32:26 <BlueFish> Hi. I think I found a bug in special_encode in rxvtperl.xs
5703:33:37 <BlueFish> special_encode('لا') or any other string that contains 'لا' returns a disturbed string
5803:33:40 <schmorp> hi BlueFish
5903:34:10 <schmorp> whats a disturbed string?
6003:34:25 <BlueFish> for example سلام becomes ملام
6103:35:05 <BlueFish> see this issue: https://github.com/mkamensky/Text-Bidi/issues/10 I was trying to fix it
62 and after playing around for a while found out that special_encode is causing the problem
6303:35:36 <schmorp> does this happen when you compile without --enable-combining (or with --disable-combining)?
6403:37:40 <BlueFish> I don't know the one that I installed from my distro repository has this flag or not. Is
65 there anyway to check?
6603:38:49 <schmorp> rxvt --help will output a options: line at the top, whioch will list "combining"
6703:39:10 <schmorp> anyway, I don't think i will understand this at my current tiredness level, I'll have a
68 look when I have time
6903:39:26 <schmorp> are you usually around on this network, so I coulöd ask you in cas eI have questions?
7003:40:25 <BlueFish> yes combining is enabled. No I don't check IRC that much. You can reach me via email
7103:40:44 <schmorp> ok, thats fine
7203:40:40 <BlueFish> avestasabayemoghadam@gmail.com
73
74 - the background extension no longer requires off focus fading support
75 to be compiled in.
76 - fix compiling without frills, and fix rewrapMode: never.
77
789.30 Sat 27 Nov 2021 21:07:09 CET
79 - the background extension did not initialise properly when automatically
80 loaded via the OSC.
81 - new "on_attach" hook type implemented, to initialise late-loading
82 extensions.
83
849.29 Mon 22 Nov 2021 18:07:14 CET
85 - libptytty (http://dist.schmorp.de/libptytty/) is now a required
86 external dependency.
87 - enable confirm-paste extension by default, can be disabled by e.g.
88 URxvt.perl-ext: -confirm-paste
89 - Key bindings specified with the -keysym option or with resources of
90 the form URxvt*keysym work again. Such resources, as opposed to
91 resources of the form URxvt.keysym, were not officially allowed but
92 accepted, so ignoring them is considered a regression.
93 - new option/resource -rm/rewrapMode, which sets the line rewrap
94 mode to auto, never or always.
95 - new option/resource -dpb/disablePasteBrackets, which can be used to
96 disable bracketed paste mode sequences, as more and more programs
97 abuse these sequences (typically in the name of security, but these
98 sequences are not improving security). Also, bracketed paste mode
99 is now under frills.
100 - add manpage for urclock.
101 - confirm-paste wrongly considered brackets as ctrlchars (patch by
102 Jakub Wilk, debian bug #995244).
103 - if urxvt cannot detect a good estimate for font width (because a font does
104 not contain latin characters at all for example), it will now fall
105 back to xft's max_advance_width, which works well with some fonts. It
106 currently will warn about this.
107 - do not render variation selectors in the default font as boxes, treat
108 them as zero-width characters.
109 - change combining character architecture to allow fonts to handle
110 combining sequences on their own. This could allow future renderers
111 to be more intelligent about these sequences.
112 - use the previous enhancement to allow unicode characters outside of the
113 BMP to be rendered even without --enable-unicode3, as long as an
114 xft with the character is configured.
115 It's recommended to stay with disabled unicode3 even more now.
116 - freetype/xft have been verified to return nonsensical offsets for
117 combining characters. urxvt tries to compensate to some extent,
118 but diacritics will be slightly off in many cases, and far off in
119 some cases (e.g. input mono).
120 - when checking for overlap/careful handling, take non-basefont
121 character shifts into account.
122 - extensions can now request autoloading on OSC and Perl OSC sequences,
123 implement this for the background, clipboard-osc and overlay-osc
124 extensions.
125 - the background extension will now be autoloaded when the OSC 20 or 705
126 sequence is received.
127 - added OSC 776 sequence to return character cell width, height and font
128 ascent, which is useful when using urxvt as slave to calculate window
129 size form or to row/column count.
130 - matcher extension documentation now points out some requirements for
131 regular expressions. the default url matching regex will now try
132 to match IRLs in addition to URLs.
133 - The view_start perl method now scrolls to the bottom also when the
134 argument is greater than 0.
135 - eval scroll actions now scroll to the bottom when scrolling down and
136 there are less lines to scroll than the ones requested (reported by
137 Stephen Talley).
138 - allow perl-ext and perl-ext-common to override autoloaded extensions.
139 this allows tabbed to disable itself in subtabs, avoiding recursive
140 loading.
141 - update precompose table to unicode 13.0.
142 - update charset conversion tables to perl 5.32 (this only affected
143 cs_koi8_u_from_unicode).
144 - unicode characters > 0x100000 were not handled correctly w.r.t.
145 font rendering.
146 - replace bitstream vera by dejavu sans, as it has replaced the former
147 almost everywhere.
148 - urxvt will now try tic -x first and only fall back to tic without -x
149 when tic -x fails.
150 - fix urclock not erasing the old date on the clock face, causing
151 overdraw, plus a host of other small fixes and improvements.
152 - shave off over 1K of code size from urclock by replacing the sine table
153 with a slightly less accurate fixed point approximation.
154 - do not specify indentation with =over in pod, this is no longer
155 needed with semi-modern pod tools and gives the formatter more
156 stylistic freedom.
157 - background extension did not set the "size-sensitive" flag
158 when repeat mode wasn't normal.
159 - extensions are now subjected to "use strict 'subs'".
160 - avoid crashing when xft successfully opens a font but then somehow
161 can't lock the face.
162 - locale_decode/encode api methods now pass through undef unchanged.
163 - fix undefined behaviour in the perl hook function, as diagnosed by clang.
164
1659.26 Fri May 14 19:14:14 CEST 2021
166 - ev_iouring.c was wrongly required during compilation, and wrongly
167 not packaged.
168
1699.25 Fri May 14 15:51:36 CEST 2021
170 - for the 17.5th anniversary, and because many distributions seem to
171 remove rxvt in favour of urxvt, this release resurrects rclock as
172 urclock.
173 - add support for systemd socket-based activation - debian bug #917105,
174 freebsd bug #234276.
175 - do not destruct perl on exit anymore: this might fail for a variety of
176 reasons, and takes unnecessary time.
177 - remove any macros from urxvtperl manpage(s), should fix debian
178 bug 858385.
179 - the old bg image resources are now provided by the background
180 extension, and perl is thus required for bg image support. No
181 configuration change is needed: urxvt autoloads the background
182 ext if any bg image resource/option is present (for OSC sequences to
183 work you need to enable it explicitly). The old bg image
184 resources are also now deprecated; users are encouraged to
185 switch to the new bg image interface (see man urxvt-background).
186 - confirm-paste now checks for any ctlchars, not just newlines.
187 - searchable scrollback will now ignore bracketed paste mode sequences
188 (prompted by Daniel Gröber's patch).
189 - drop ISO 2022 locale support. ISO 2022 encodings are not supported in
190 POSIX locales and clash with vt100 charset emulation (the luit
191 program can be used as a substitute).
192 - perl didn't parse rgba colours specified as an array correctly,
193 only allowing 0 and 100% intensity for each component (this affected
194 fill and tint).
195 - when iterating over resources, urxvt will now try to properly handle
196 multipart resources (such as "*background.expr"), for the benefit
197 of autoloading perl extensions.
198 - ESC G (query rxvt graphics mode) has been disabled due to security
199 implications. The rxvt graphics mode was removed in rxvt-unicode 1.5,
200 and no programs relying on being able to query the mode are known.
201 - work around API change breakage in perl 5.28, based on a patch by
202 Roman Bogorodskiy.
203 - improved security: rob nation's (obsolete) graphics mode queries
204 no longer reply with linefeed in secure/default mode.
205 - ISO 8613-3 direct colour SGR sequences (patch by Fengguang Wu).
206 - xterm focus reporting mode (patch by Daniel Hahler).
207 - xterm SGR mouse mode.
208 - implement DECRQM. Patch by Přemysl Eric Janouch.
209 - add missing color index parameter to OSC 4 response. Patch
210 by Přemysl Eric Janouch.
211 - in some window managers, if smart resize was enabled, urxvt
212 erroneously moved the window on font change - awesome bug
213 #532, arch linux bug ##34807 (patch by Uli Schlachter).
214 - fix urxvtd crash when using a background expression.
215 - properly restore colors when using fading and reverse video
216 is enabled while urxvt is focused and then disabled while it
217 is not focused, or vice versa (patch by Daniel Hahler).
218 - fix high memory usage when an extension repeatedly hides and
219 shows an overlay (reported by Marcel Lautenbach).
220 - expose priv_modes member and constants to perl extensions
221 (patch by Rastislav Barlik).
222 - fix a whole slew of const sillyness, unfortunately forced upon
223 us by ISO C++.
224 - update to libecb 0x00010006.
225 - disable all thread support in ecb.h as we presumably don't need it.
226 - slightly improve Makefile source dependencies.
227 - work around bugs in newer Pod::Xhtml versions (flags incorrect formatting codes
228 in xhtml/html sections but does not interpret correct ones).
229
2309.22 Sat Jan 23 21:07:33 CET 2016
231 - NOTICE: this release updates terminfo.
232 - add terminfo capabilities for various ctrl and shift-ctrl key variants
233 (patch by Sebastian Schmidt).
234 - fix longstanding core font encoding bug where some character
235 ranges could not be mapped from unicode to the font: affected
236 encodings are big5, gb2312, iso8859-8 (hebrew), jis0201 and
237 ksc5601 (reported by Mikachu).
238 - fix crash when the number of columns is 1 and a 0 width character is inserted
239 (reported by Kuang-che Wu).
240 - fix a crash when parsing an invalid color specification (reported by Kuang-che Wu).
241 - fix a buffer overflow in font name parser (reported by Kuang-che Wu).
242 - do not start blinking cursor if the window is unfocused (reported by
243 Devin J. Pohly).
244 - change the width of underline and i-beam cursor to 2 pixels (based on
245 a patch by Omar Sandoval).
246 - add pointerShape resource to change the mouse pointer shape
247 (based on a patch by Brian Watson).
248 - a keysym resource for a key which is already bound to an
249 action now properly rebinds the key.
250 - do not report mouse motion events if Shift is active (patch by Daniel Hahler).
251 - put the alpha component last in responses to OSC color queries
252 (patch by Benjamin Herr).
253 - the key_press hook is now invoked before processing the
254 event, as documented. This change was done in 9.21 but not
255 announced and fixes debian bugs #511377, #531751 and red hat
256 bug #1105069. Note that this change breaks a few scripts,
257 such as mark-yank-urls, which rely on the previous buggy
258 behaviour that urxvt processes the event (in particular
259 keysym bindings) before invoking the hook.
260 - the tabbed extension now properly refreshes the active tab
261 on a key press when the mouse pointer is outside the terminal
262 window.
263 - add 'lookup_keysym' perl method to lookup the action bound
264 to a key combination.
265 - a key combination bound to 'matcher:select' can now be used
266 to cycle through the matches in matcher.
267 - change perl integer accessors (->width et al.) into mutators.
268
2699.21 Wed Dec 31 14:50:03 CET 2014
270 - the "moa redraw 8-bit british vintage colour management" release.
271 - NOTICE: this release updates terminfo.
272 - fix pixel droppings on overdraw when a secondary core font has the
273 same height but different ascent.
274 - implement cvvis in terminfo as blinking cursor, to distinguish it
275 from cnorm (emacs uses cvvis which is commonly a blinking cursor).
276 - when xft support was compiled in, colour queries erroneously returned
277 premultiplied values, this also affected internal queries, for example
278 when calculating faded colour. alpha is now divided out when possible,
279 which is more correct but loses colour resolution.
280 - add DECSCUSR xterm extension to set the cursor to a vertical bar.
281 - add 'extension:string' action, and associated on_action perl
282 hook, for keysym resources that invokes actions provided by
283 perl extensions. The 'perl:string' action and
284 on_user_command hook are deprecated but still supported.
285 - add 'builtin-string' action for keysym resources that restores string
286 mappings for keys that have predefined actions in urxvt.
287 - add -k option to urxvtc for killing the daemon process.
288 - document urxvtd's -e/--eval option that was implemented in 9.16,
289 but not documented.
290 - add -dockapp option to make the wm treat urxvt as a dockapp.
291 - add -mc option and multiClickTime resource to set the maximum time
292 between multi-click select events (patch by Joe Peterson).
293 - new 'eval' extension to evaluate arbitrary perl code with keysym
294 bindings. The extension also provides methods that implement basic
295 actions, such as pasting selections and scrolling.
296 - the macosx-clipboard and macosx-clipboard-native extensions have been removed.
297 - kuake extension now uses the kuake.hotkey resource to specify the hotkey.
298 - new 'matcher:select' mode of matcher to iterate over the matches with the keyboard.
299 - the 'matcher:list' feature of matcher now honours the launcher
300 associated to a matched pattern.
301 - speed-up matcher underlining on very long lines (reported by Edward Z. Yang).
302 - fix up/down commands of searchable-scrollback so that they always move
303 to the previous/next logical line with a match, if any.
304 - searchable-scrollback resource has been deprecated (use keysym instead).
305 - extension parameter passing is deprecated (use resource mechanism instead).
306 - upgrade to GPLv3 (see COPYING).
307 - compile out of the box on Solaris 10, again.
308 - fix height and position of the stippled area in next scrollbar (patch
309 by Thomas Otto).
310 - fix off-by-one bug causing the iso14755 window not to jump out of the
311 way properly.
312 - fix crash that may happen if a lib to which urxvt is linked to calls setenv.
313 - fix memory leak in special_{encode,decode} perl methods.
314 - fix refresh bug that occurs when reverse video is set on a cell
315 containing a space and with the same bg and fg colour, red hat bug
316 #830236.
317 - fix crash that may happen if an x error is received after a terminal
318 window/popup has been destroyed already.
319 - removed superfluous 0 digit from sgr terminfo sequence.
320 - greatly improve colour allocation on colour-starved pseudocolour
321 displays to avoid read-write cells instead of simply failing
322 (this is only relevant for antique 8bpp frame buffers).
323 - do not free fade colours when not doing fading (this is likely
324 only relevant for antique 8bpp frame buffers).
325 - do not specialcase 2 or 4 colour visuals, leading to
326 simpler and actually more correct code.
327 - hopefully no longer leak colours on !truecolour visuals.
328 - use consistent method names (scr_recolour => scr_recolor).
329 - use simpler (but slightly less bogus) formula for nearest
330 colour choice (this is likely only relevant for antique 8bpp
331 frame buffers).
332 - remove fallback behaviour when initialising colours - the
333 behaviour was inconsistent between startup vs. later and
334 was only effective when valid colours couldn't be allocated.
335
3369.20 Sat Apr 26 16:22:27 CEST 2014
337 - (libptytty) fix bug that prevented urxvtd from writing utmp
338 entries when using --fork (reported by Ryan Kavanagh).
339 - security bugfix: window property values could be queried even
340 in secure mode (reported by Conor McCarthy).
341 - fix build when perl is enabled and fading is disabled.
342 - fix regression that broke continuous scrolling when pressing
343 and holding the scrollbar up or down button, gentoo bug #493992.
344 - increase the maximum length of a command sequence to 32k bytes,
345 to allow longer OSC sequences (previous limit was 2k).
346 - new Ctrl-Meta-c and Ctrl-Meta-v bindings to interact with
347 the CLIPBOARD selection.
348 - new extension: selection-to-clipboard.
349 - the extensions macosx-clipboard and macosx-clipboard-native
350 are deprecated and will be removed in the next release.
351 Support for the clipboard on OS X can be more generally
352 enabled by setting the XQuartz preference to sync the OS X
353 pasteboard and the X11 clipboard.
354
3559.19 Sun Oct 27 17:16:07 CET 2013
356 - work around perl 5.18.0 breakage in tabbed extension
357 (reported by Karol Blazewicz) and in pod (Dominic Hargreaves).
358 - fix regression that caused the double-click word selection to
359 erroneously include a tab on the left of the selected word.
360 - implement FOCUS variable and focus_fade function in background
361 expression, to allow focus-sensitive background images.
362 - add support for the set cursor style (DECSCUSR) control
363 function.
364 - honour cursorColor also when the cursor style is underline.
365 - export some Color_xxx constants to Perl.
366
3679.18 Sun Mar 24 15:33:35 CET 2013
368 - fix regression that caused artifacts on resize.
369
3709.17 Fri Mar 1 13:46:08 CET 2013
371 - add shade operator in background perl extension.
372 - avoid starting or ending the selection in the middle of wide
373 characters to avoid artifacts (reported by Tiago Resende).
374 - fix artifacts that may occur if the character in the cursor
375 cell has width > 1 (reported by Tiago Resende).
376 - fix regression that causes artifacts on scrolling if
377 saveLines is 0 and the window is resized (reported by Bert
378 Münnich).
379 - fix build when perl is enabled and pixbuf and transparency
380 are disabled.
381
3829.16 Thu Dec 27 11:56:43 CET 2012
383 - the "so much new stuff your eyes will pop out" release.
384 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: renamed urlLauncher resource to url-launcher.
385 - fix processing of DEC private mode save sequences (patch by Patrick
386 Hemmer).
387 - perl extensions now have their own manpages, installed as urxvt-NAME(1),
388 e.g. urxvt-background(1) - see urxvt-extensions(1) for a list.
389 - fix disabling of cursor blink with the option-popup menu (based on a
390 patch by Jan Larres).
391 - the font height is not augmented anymore when lineSpace is non zero.
392 - fix "new pagemap" vs. "delete pagemap" mismatch ([] vs. non-[]),
393 as diagnosed by clang.
394 - fix height mismatch between active and inactive cursor when
395 lineSpace is non zero (patch by Stanislav Seletskiy).
396 - make it compile with LOCAL_X_IS_UNIX again (reported by
397 nickfailure@gmail.com).
398 - completely redone background pixmap support - users can now
399 specify arbitrary expressions (And programs) that calculate
400 new terminal backgrounds. see the urxvt-background manpage
401 for details.
402 - xrender is now required for background pixmap support.
403 - perl extensions can now provide commandline switches and resources
404 which show up in -help etc.
405 - iso14755 51 mode window now displays row and column.
406 - implement a -visual switch and move that and -depth to frills, also
407 warn when we can't get the requested visual.
408 - new env variable: RXVT_PERL_LIB.
409 - allocate all screen memory in one go and let the virtual memory
410 subsystem sort it out. this simplifies code, improves access
411 locality, saves a bit of ram and makes things a bit faster, too.
412 - remove support for libafterimage.
413 - update to CVS version of libev, for a whopping 11kb size decrease.
414 - do not ship yet another copy of ecb.h, use the one in libev or
415 libptytty instead.
416 - selectively mark some methods as cache-hot/cache cold, which
417 might speed up execution but definitely decreases codesize.
418 - Fix regression that prevented the scrollbar trough color
419 from being applied (reported by Derek B. Noonburg).
420 - Fix the scrollbar size for rxvt style (patch by Mark Robinson).
421
4229.15 Sat Jan 21 13:36:56 CET 2012
423 - remove "using namespace std" because clang erroneously
424 thinks thats an error.
425 - finding a matching font (e.g. bold version of the base font)
426 was broken (reported by Eamon Walker).
427 - fix parsing of bg image styles. They really work now.
428 - fix blurring of bg image borders when using xrender.
429 - fix xrender blur on common xrender implementations that do
430 not behave correctly when the same pixmap is used as source
431 and destination in composite operations.
432 - fix regression that caused tabbed to compute the wrong size
433 for tabs.
434 - allow again an empty suffix in a keysym list spec (patch by
435 Sung Pae).
436 - unsupported support for sun studio's CC added.
437 - fix -C option on solaris.
438
4399.14 Wed Dec 21 18:40:33 CET 2011
440 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: the urxvtd default socket path is now
441 $HOME/.urxvt/urxvtd-<nodename>.
442 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: the "list" keysym expansion now requires
443 loading of the "keysym-list" perl extension.
444 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: A scale value of 0 in the bg image
445 geometry no longer enables tiling, so as to make it possible
446 to disable both scaling and tiling.
447 - overhaul of the bg image operations. The old operations have
448 been deprecated in favour of elementary operations and
449 styles built on top of the new operations and scale/position
450 settings. (Emanuele Giaquinta).
451 - support for libafterimage is deprecated and will be removed
452 in the next release.
453 - fix a crash caused by selection_check not properly resetting
454 out-of-bounds mark values (can happen when extending a selection
455 while scrolling up in curses programs for example).
456 - do not move the selection when scrolling up and the selection is
457 outside the scrolling region (Emanuele Giaquinta).
458 - fix display of bold bright black (reported by Ben Winslow).
459 - fix memory leak when urgentOnBell is set (patch by Nathaniel
460 Filardo).
461 - fix a redraw bug that occurs when a bg pixmap is set and the
462 wm does not honour the size hints set by urxvt. Now urxvt
463 forces the size of the terminal window to be a multiple of
464 the cell size.
465 - sanitise the argument of SD / SU sequences. Fixes a possible
466 crash when the argument is big enough, red hat bug #711137
467 (Emanuele Giaquinta).
468 - correctly split long lines when scrolling.
469 - urxvt now looks for perl extensions also in $HOME/.urxvt/ext.
470 - add bell-command perl extension to execute a command when a
471 bell event occurs (Ryan Kavanagh).
472 - add set_urgency perl binding to set/reset the urgency hint.
473 - consume button release event in matcher (exg).
474 - keyboard accessible list of recent matches in matcher
475 (Bob Farrell).
476 - properly process 'keysym' sequences in tabbed when using
477 'focus follows mouse' and the focus is on the main window
478 but not on the active terminal window (patch by Martin
479 Pohlack).
480 - support for the freedesktop startup-notification protocol (patch by
481 Michael Stapelberg).
482 - the direction of VPR and VPB commands was reversed.
483 - fix alignment of inherited root pixmap when it is a different size
484 than the root window and the terminal window is off the left or top
485 edge (Mikachu).
486 - make $self visible in "eval perl expression" popup action, also
487 handle exceptions better.
488 - fix parsing of '-e' when it occurs as an option argument, such as in
489 'urxvt -title -e' (Emanuele Giaquinta).
490
4919.12 Wed Jun 29 14:34:28 CEST 2011
492 - fix regression in processing of SelectionNotify events.
493 urxvt would fail to request a selection if the owner did not
494 support the UTF8_STRING target.
495 - fix rendering of double width chars in certain circumstances, more
496 likely to happen if urxvt is compiled with 256 colors support as
497 urxvt runs out of fonts much earlier then. Fixes gentoo bug #358151
498 (Emanuele Giaquinta).
499 - restore support for 'list' syntax in keysym resources (requested by Sung Pae).
500 - always premultiply colour values - while this increases differences between
501 core fonts and xft, it is "more correct" in practical situations.
502 - disable PTYTTY_REENTRANT option - not needed for urxvt and saves a bit of code.
503 - remove lucidatypewriter from the list of fallback fonts, it was the only
504 non-xft non-cellfont in the list anyway.
505
5069.11 Mon May 2 10:34:46 CEST 2011
507 - fix compilation on GNU/Hurd, debian bug #624736.
508 - remove 'list' syntax for keysym resources, as it serves no useful purpose.
509 If you need it, poke us and provide a use case.
510 - fix alpha channel support. Premultiply alpha in colours if the visual
511 supports an alpha channel, as xrender expects premultiplied alpha
512 (Emanuele Giaquinta).
513 - fix reply to a selection request sent by an obsolete client
514 such as syncterm (patch by Marcin Cieslak).
515 - fix crash when the window is resized and the overlay is active
516 (Emanuele Giaquinta, reported by Ryan Kavanagh).
517 - match character-wise rather than byte-wise in selection
518 extension again. perl 5.8.9+ is required to avoid extreme
519 slowdowns. Fixes debian bugs #523072, #616463.
520 - fix a possible crash if the INCR transfer process for a
521 selection property timeouts and at least one chunk is
522 received. (Emanuele Giaquinta)
523 - work around a memory corruption bug in xorg's XrmSetDatabase (apparently
524 broken since http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/xorg-commit-diffs/2004-March/000239.html).
525 - fix memory corruption bug when custom command sequences bound to keys
526 were injected into an already-full pty input buffer.
527 - gdk-pixbuf is autodetected by default and preferred over libafterimage.
528 - do not prepend a newline to the selection text when the starting line
529 of the selection is not highlighted (Emanuele Giaquinta).
530 - don't swap perl env with real env, save and restore it, just in case
531 we ever get recursive perl invocations. also saves a bit of codespace
532 with gcc.
533 - fix various memory leaks (Emanuele Giaquinta).
534 - fix typo in kIC terminfo capability, debian bug #446444.
535 - document 'thickness' resource.
536 - fix debian bug #504817, to the extent possible.
537 - try to detect byte order at compile time, saves a couple of
538 hundred bytes, if your compiler is smart enough.
539 - add support for previewing the pasted data in confirm-paste
540 (Emanuele Giaquinta).
541 - added "newlines to spaces" option in selection-popup.
542 - actually enabled solaris event ports backend (was disabled by accident).
543 - revert to 38400 baud max., mission accomplished.
544 - no longer create scary "pty_fill: PLEASE REPORT" message, instead,
545 silently drain the input (problem is well understood now).
546 - no longer swallow rob nation's own graphics mode commands.
547
5489.10 Mon Dec 13 17:43:52 CET 2010
549 - the "schmorp=north korea dickey=south korea" release.
550 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: make OSC 20 simpler and more correct
551 (Emanuele Giaquinta).
552 - if options were compiled out, this could lead to the option
553 count to be defined wrongly. This is likely behind the
554 failures with gcc 4.5.
555 - explicitly depend on fontconfig and xrender when xft support
556 is enabled. Although the public Xft api uses types from
557 both, in Xft 2.2.0 these libs are private
558 dependencies only thanks to an idiotic behaviour of
559 pkg-config that was added to workaround cases like this one.
560 Fixes linking when using GNU ld with --as-needed or GNU gold
561 (based on patch by Jan Palus).
562 - fix minor memory leaks in urxvt and urxvtd.
563 - fix regression in urxvtd that prevented options from being correctly
564 set (reported by Michal Vaner).
565 - implement xterm's horribly broken 1005 mouse reporting mode,
566 and an alternative 1015 mode that works in non-utf-8 locales
567 and has fewer limitations.
568 - fix a possible bug where mouse notifications didn't work after
569 startup for the upper left corner.
570 - implement our own pixbuf to pixmap rendering to get rid of
571 dependency on buggy gdk-pixbuf-xlib. Only truecolor visuals
572 are supported (Emanuele Giaquinta).
573 - apply tinting before shading when both operations are requested.
574 Previously they were intermixed when lightening and the result
575 was inaccurate and confusing. Note that now a black tint yields a
576 completely black image, regardless of shading (Emanuele Giaquinta).
577 - avoid spurious redraws of the bg image when bg is transparent or
578 when using 'root' mode (Emanuele Giaquinta).
579 - fix build on XFree86.
580 - dynamically number options according to compiletime requirements.
581 For the extra saved byte. Or so. Yay.
582 - start options at one, not zero. Wastes a bit per terminal. Maybe.
583 saves 50 instruction bytes. Possibly.
584
5859.09 Sat Nov 13 01:39:07 CET 2010
586 - NOTICE: this release updates terminfo/termcap.
587 - the bestest release ever.

590 - add support for using gdk-pixbuf as image backend (Emanuele Giaquinta).
591 - cleanup and minor fixes of the image code (Emanuele Giaquinta).
592 - new perl extension "confirm-paste" (Emanuele Giaquinta).
593 - new on_tt_paste perl hook and tt_paste perl binding (Emanuele Giaquinta).
594 - new on_bell perl hook (Emanuele Giaquinta).
595 - searchable-scrollback no longer ignores the first line
596 (Emanuele Giaquinta).
597 - properly set VSTATUS in termios for *BSD (reported by Ed Schouten).
598 - fix utmpx detection on upcoming FreeBSD 9.
599 - Use COMPOUND_TEXT encoding for WM_NAME/WM_ICON_NAME value when it
600 is not fully convertible to STRING (patch by James Cloos).
601 - fix a buffer overflow that would cause wrong key sequences to
602 be generated for numpad keys (introduced in 9.05).
603 - fix definition of sgr0 to work around limitations in luit.
604 - extend ISO 14755 5.4 mode to also print the font name of the
605 characters other than first one in the selected cell
606 (Emanuele Giaquinta).
607 - new iso14755 option to disable ISO 14755 at runtime
608 (Emanuele Giaquinta).
609 - make sure pagewise scrolling scrolls at least one line
610 (found by Mikachu).
611 - remove deprecated OSC 18 / 19 and make OSC 17 / 19 apply to
612 highlightColor / highlightTextColor (Emanuele Giaquinta).
613 - add highlightTextColor resource to change the foreground colour of
614 highlighted characters (Emanuele Giaquinta).
615 - make highlightColor apply also to selected cells with reverse video
616 but not to non selected cells with reverse video (Emanuele Giaquinta).
617 - remove colorRV resource (it was enabled only with frills off).
618 - fix numlock handling, the most longstanding bug to date (Emanuele Giaquinta).
619 - reduce the number of custom bits to 4, to make room
620 for 256 colours.
621 - add support for 256 colors (Emanuele Giaquinta, Marc Lehmann).
622 - add rxvt-unicode-256color terminfo and use it by default in 256 colors mode.
623 - update rxvt-unicode terminfo to state 7744 colour pairs to cover all
624 88*88 possible pairs.
625 - actually added macosx-clipboard-native, which should have been in
626 the 9.07 release but had been forgotten.
627 - fix hang if DECAWM is not set and there are not enough columns to insert a
628 character (Emanuele Giaquinta).
629 - cub1 ("backspace") will now respect wrapping when past the rightmost column,
630 working around a shortcoming of most tty line discipline's line editing.
631 - add support for grabbing the clipboard selection and extend
632 selection{_clear,_grab,} perl bindings to optionally work
633 on the clipboard selection (based on patch by Dana Jansens).
634 - no longer force CERASE to BACKSPACE - use the system default. affects
635 default value for VERASE only when no compatible setting for
636 backspacekey was given.
637 - use higher than 38400 baudrate setting, if detected.
638 - erase screen would clear to the wrong background when blinking
639 was enabled (which selects high intensity under some circumstances).
640 - scr_kill_char didn't touch the line.
641 - upgrade and port to libev-4.01.
642 - enabled solaris event ports and kqueue backends (if available).
643
6449.07 Wed Dec 30 07:07:18 CET 2009
645 - port to glibc-2.10 changes (strchr etc. returning const char *
646 in C++), based on patches by Milos Jakubicek and Oliver Mader.
647 - the binary search algorithm to find precomposed characters
648 was faulty, skipping some possible combinations (found by
649 Mikachu).
650 - new -letterspace option, patch by Mark H. Wilkinson.
651 - enable --mlock option for urxvt with frills on
652 systems supporting it (patch by Russell Harmon).
653 - urxvt did not compile without frills enabled
654 (analysed by Matthew Rosewarne).
655 - correctly reset the mbstate after an illegal
656 input sequence when handling terminal output (Emanuele Giaquinta).
657 - avoid redrawing wide characters with combining enabled on every
658 refresh (reported by Mikachu).
659 - fix a typo preventing the ISO-646.1991 character set from being
660 recognized (http://achurch.org/patch-pile/).
661 - better warning for x11 font encoding detection failures, also,
662 try to deduce encoding from both font properties and name
663 (adapted from http://achurch.org/patch-pile/).
664 - resizing the window with the scrollbar disabled via the escapes
665 sequence could make the window bigger again (Mikachu).
666 - make sure the alignment for fd passing control messages
667 is correct and work around some NetBSD issues (Taylor R Campbell).
668 - update to libptytty 1.3.
669 - replace macosx-clipboard by a nicer version by Reza Jelveh, and move
670 the old version to macosx-clipboard-native.
671 - document the -uc option (Emanuele Giaquinta).
672 - assertions in libev are now enabled depending on frills.
673 - update AnyEvent implementation to version 5.23 API.
674 - work around arrogant bsd idiocies again: netbsd spills the default
675 namespace with lots of symbols "for gnu/gcc compatibility" even
676 though neither of them does it, and then calls the rest of the world
677 in need of fixing. go figure.
678 - on_keyboard_command is on_user_command (patch by Michael Witten).
679 - setting the selection from perl will now reset the selection screen
680 to the current screen. the screen can be manipulated using
681 the new ->selection_screen method.
682 - implement --enable-assert configure option and get rid of DEBUG_STRICT
683 (based on patch by Emanuele Giaquinta).

685 - allow `xxx' quoting style for perl selection.
686 - upgrade to libev-3.9 prerelease.

690 - NOTICE: this release updates terminfo/termcap.
691 - updates libev to 3.48.
692 - the aterm code now frees the as visual and image manager objects
693 when a window was closed.
694 - do not (wrongly) adjust the virtual line length inside
695 scr_insdel_chars/ERASE (Miroslav Lichvar).
696 - fix an issue where wide tab characters caused character shifts
697 when part of them was deleted (tracked down by Miroslav Lichvar).
698 - artificially enlargen the previous character at the end of a line
699 when trying to output a character that doesn't fit. looks ugly, but
700 makes copy&paste work.
701 - remove bogus "setuid/setgid security issues" from rxvt.1.pod, they
702 no longer apply.
703 - the urgency hint is now cleared on both focus in and focus out.
704 - cache urgency hint locally to avoid server rtt on every focus change.
705 - perl 5.10 needs PERL_SYS_INIT3 on hppa.
706 - ignore byte-order marks and do not treat them like combining characters.
707 - fix build issue when CURSOR_BLINK is not defined (Emanuele Giaquinta).
708 - do some µ-optimisations to the character fast path.
709 - use a less cunning, but more robust algorithm to avoid one terminal
710 monopolising the whole process by outputting a lot of text.
711 - try to work around linux first breaking sched_yield and now breaking
712 the only known workaround.
713 - new option -icon to set _NET_WM_ICON (based on patch by Frank Schmitt).
714 - initialise the as visual only on demand, instead of unconditionally,
715 to save memory in the common case of not using visual gimmicks.
716 - try to work around bugs in a few wm's that erroneously resize
717 client windows on hint property updates by temporarily
718 disabling size hints.
719 - implement the DECSTR soft reset sequence and use it for tput init,
720 and make hard RIS and DECSTR both reset more private modes, such
721 as mouse reporting.
722 - redundantly clear mouse reporting and a few other states in
723 tput init/tput reset, for older urxvts.
724 - partial/full clear screens did cause flickering and possibly pixel
725 droppings when urxvt viewed the scrollback buffer.
726 - use current rendition style in DCH sequence.
727 - the 132/80 mode switch no longer forces a screen reset.
728 - add an osc sequence to change the border colour (Emanuele Giaquinta).
729 - new perl extension "overlay-osc", for status displays and the like.
730 - fix some minor cursor drawing issues with overlays by allowing
731 overlays to modify screen flags (to disable the cursor themselves).
732 - work around programs not restoring rstyle before rmcup
733 (analysed by Miroslav Lichvar).
734
7359.05 Sun Jun 15 20:09:20 CEST 2008
736 - new option --cd/chdir to set the starting working directory.
737 - tabbed extension now starts in the "correct" working directory.
738 - work around fedora 9 providing isastream but not the relevant
739 header file for it (report by Tuncer Ayaz).
740 - upgrade libev, fixing a bug in the select backend.
741 with more than 31 file descriptors on non-linux 64 bit systems.
742 - correctly reset the multibyte state to the initial one
743 after EILSEQ (patch by Neil Booth). This fixes the
744 issue of rxvt-unicode not properly displaying text after an illegal
745 sequence on NetBSD and probably other systems.
746 - more intelligent property handling with -pe tabbed, works around
747 broken window managers (kwm et al.), saves bandwidth and should
748 help working window managers as well.
749 - made tabs moveable (based on a patch by Petr Machata).
750 - implement ESC [ 3 K as a more rational alternative to ESC [ 0 K.
751 - support relative paths for RXVT_SOCKET in urxvtd.
752 - the tabbed extension now blindly copies over all (rxvt-) resources
753 from the toplevel window to the children.
754 - better diagnostic on 0x0 window geometries.
755 - update AnyEvent API to version 3.4 and above.
756 - document the default value of :0 for DISPLAY.

760 - the "exg makes everybody happy" release.
761 - fix build with !xft.
762 - always compile in plain style scrollbar (simplifies code and looks great).
763
7649.01 Sat Jan 26 20:49:27 CET 2008
765 - be more aggressive about handling X events, this seems to be required
766 with newer xlibs (should fix the "screen stays black until event is
767 received" problem, again :)
768 - add buffered resource to control xft double-buffering.
769
7709.0 Fri Jan 25 19:34:04 CET 2008
771 - fix a crash bug where urxvtd would crash when urxvtc was called
772 with wrong arguments (I wish debian maintainers in general would
773 report bugs and their proposed fixes to the original package maintainers
774 instead of sitting on them for good measure to see if anybody notices).
775 - drawing xft compose characters was causing garbage to be drawn.
776 - correctly clear xft character background in all cases.
777 - implement bracketed paste mode (xterm private mode 2004).
778 - improve documentation on alpha channel handling, make urxvt
779 work better on servers lacking the RENDER extension when alpha
780 channels or background images are used.
781 - check for refresh after initialising to avoid staying blank
782 till the first event arrives. or so.
783 - the FORCE_UNBUFFERED_XFT feature macro works again.
784 - continuously update transparency while moving/resizing now.
785 - OSC 39/49 are deprecated and aliased to OSC 10/11.
786 - cub1 now acts as advertised (and ignores the "wrapped" state).
787 - the 132/80 mode switch now forces a height of 24, too, and
788 resets the terminal.
789 - scrollbar code cleanups.
790 - stopping children is no longer confused with children exiting.
791 - removed (undocumented) #aarrggbb format.
792 - updated to libev 3.0.
793
7948.9 Mon Dec 24 07:51:40 CET 2007
795 - fix the issue where urxvtd would not immediately close a window
796 when the command exited but only on the next X event.
797 - changed terminfo file not to use application keypad mode.
798 - fix the issue where making a selection in one urxvtd window
799 would not clear it visually in another.
800 - fix an issue of urxvt not getting background pixmap updates
801 and flickering after bg pixmap changes (reported by Mikachu).
802 - fix redraw bug in xterm scrollbar with -sr (reported by Mikachu).
803 - correctly provide dependencies for libev (µikachu).
804 - minor code reorganisations and cleanups.
805 - be more robust in case the urxvt-popup extension cannot be loaded.
806
8078.8 Sat Dec 15 19:40:39 CET 2007
808 - option -C was aliased to all unsupported options, activating
809 options that shouldn't be compiled in, leading to interesting
810 effects.
811 - updated libev, working around a bug in linux 2.4, curing the
812 symptom of urxvt not closing its window on shell exit. also
813 fixes a problem with urxvt not refreshing.
814 - the text blink callback was called even when no blinking
815 text was visible.
816 - pre-8.4 slipwheeling behaviour has been reinstated, with
817 some minor improvements.
818 - streamlined x events processing to only flush once per
819 display and not once per terminal window.
820 - quite a bit of minor code cleanups and codesize optimisations.
821
8228.7 Sun Nov 25 10:23:49 CET 2007
823 - update libev with an important bugfix that would cause crashes
824 when closing windows (when using rxvtd, and update is recommended).
825 - do not compile in the block builtin graphics with --disable-frills.
826
8278.6 Fri Nov 23 14:10:57 CET 2007
828 - upgrade libev to disable kqueue on anything but netbsd as it
829 seems to be broken everywhere else w.r.t. ptys.
830 - allow for spurious event notifications, as at least epoll and
831 especially solaris ports like to lie about them (symptoms:
832 urxvt "hangs" until there is some x11 related activity).
833 - -keysym command line options are now subjected to xlib parsing.
834 - add 'xrm' option analogous to Xt one.
835
8368.5a Wed Nov 21 10:16:33 CET 2007
837 - make it compile with --disable-transparency.
838
8398.5 Wed Nov 21 05:19:20 CET 2007
840 - expect major portability issues in this release: please test and report.
841 - converted from the veritable io manager event loop to
842 the high performance libev (http://software.schmorp.de/pkg/libev).
843 - minor tuning to the perl selection (include single words and more quoting chars).
844 - fix memory leak in pixmap code.
845 - fix a serious bug while setting the XIM destroy callback
846 on (typical) 64 bit systems.
847 - automove-background functionality re-implemented internally using :root op in pixmap
848 geometry string. For example: rxvt -pixmap "image.jpg;:root"
849 - do not link rxvtc against every lib on the planet anymore.
850 - parallel builds should work once more.
851
8528.4 Sat Oct 27 14:02:13 CEST 2007
853 - overhaul of the transparency/pixmap code (sasha).
854 - fix possible race between visual bell and poweron.
855 (reported by Martin von Gagern, gentoo?).
856 - urxvt -e no longer crashes the child.
857 - fixed some minor memleaks on incorrect usage or
858 missing DISPLAY.
859 - implement xterm 1002/1003 mouse tracking modes (exg).
860 - source code organisational cleanups (exg).
861 - updated io_manager.
862
8638.3 Wed Aug 1 20:21:31 CEST 2007
864 - new option: skipScroll/-ss, enabled by default.
865 - go with the times and expect x11 library files in /usr/lib, not
866 /usr/X11R6/lib.
867 - initial transparency improvement/afterimage support
868 patch by Sasha Vasko.
869 - add urgentOnBell resource to set the urgency hint
870 (patch by Philip Paeps).
871 - do not process focus events caused by grabs
872 (patch by Mikachu).
873 - add iso14755_52 resource to disable iso14755 5.2 (exg).
874 - add binding for backspace in iso14755 5.1 to remove the last
875 digit (exg).
876 - better option handling, support more than 30 options (exg).
877 - nuke reconf script, serves no purpose anymore.
878 - fixed and documented matcher/on_user_command processing in matcher
879 extension (tpope).
880 - compile out of the box on Solaris 10 (exg).
881 - fix MappingNotify events (reported by Stephan Walter).
882 - zero-initialise mwmhints, this seems to solve all sorts of minor
883 problems.
884
8858.2 Sat Feb 17 21:35:28 CET 2007
886 - fix make depend in src/, reported by exg.
887 - fixed typo in urxvt::GET_CUSTOM, causing the result to be wrong.
888 (patch by Sergey Vlasov).
889 - unbundled iom perl interface somewhat.
890 - scrollbar-xterm now uses the selected scrollColor instead of fg
891 (found by Aiviru).
892 - disabled linux kernel bug workaround again: disabling it gives
893 a 50% speed hit on affected machines, while enabling it gives
894 a similar speed hit to screen, which is likely the more common
895 case to work around for :/
896 - urxvt::rend2mask perl function, and utilization of it by matcher
897 (patch by Moshe Kamensky).
898 - use perl:matcher on a keysym to open most recently displayed URL.
899 - with matcher, when multiple patterns match, last wins, not first.
900 - fix make and make install with srcdir != builddir (exg).
901 - updated bundled libptytty to fix a bug where the tty would be kept
902 open (see the libptytty ChangeLog for details).
903 - delay setting the IUTF8 flag to after the tty settings have been
904 set so its value does not get lost (reported and analysed by Andrei
905 Paskevich).
906 - rip out support for obsolete sgtty.h interface.
907 - rip out support for non-POSIX termios variants.
908 - update libptytty.
909 - update iom.C, make it call ptytty::sanitise_stdfd on init.
910 - when !XFT, change rounding of colours to use a less correct formula to
911 meet user expectancies (#aaa becomes #a000a000a000 not #9f9f9f9f9f9f).
912 - change the starting offset of the pixmap set with backgroundPixmap
913 from (50,50) to (0,0) (exg).
914 - fix a typo in button_release, now meta-button2 request the value of
915 the Clipboard selection as it should (patch by Serge Koksharov).
916 - fix a bug in drawing a cell with a nonspacing char when using an xft
917 font with inheritPixmap and tintColor (exg).
918
9198.1 Thu Dec 7 22:27:25 CET 2006
920 - ケリスマスプレゼント - zomg!!1, it's too early!!!
921 - fix the assumption that chars < 256 are single-width. Now
922 only assume this for codepoints 32 to 126 (reported by Dai.H.).
923 - $term->strwidth returned wide chars as width 1, because some jerk
924 confused min and max. Fixing this also fixes xim-onthespot.
925 Reported by Takano Akio.
926 - secondaryScroll is now enabled by default (as per the manpage),
927 reported by exg.
928 - correct the description of [percent]color rgba format in the manpage.
929 - incorporated macosx-clipboard extension by Samuel Ljungkvist.
930 - ignore (some) useless focus events (reported by mmc).
931 - updated compose table to unicode 5.0.0.
932
9338.0 Thu Nov 2 18:35:19 CET 2006
934 - combining characters cleared the area instead of creating an overlay,
935 thus losing the ability to draw combining characters properly in most
936 circumstances (reported by exg).
937 - specified fonts were incorrectly morphed to bold/italic according to the
938 basefont, even if explicitly specified (tracked down by tpope).
939 - fixed urxvt::strwidth to calculate width in the same way as screen.C.
940 - fix a crash caused by passing negative widths to overlay functions.
941 - added 'matcher' extension by tpope, replacing the mark-urls extension.
942 - improve url regex to match anything www.* (tpope).
943 - fixed bug with outline cursor color being wrong after xft fonts.
944 - update to libptytty-1.0.
945 - give proper diagnostic when RXVT_SOCKET is too long instead of
946 corrupting the stack (patch by exg).
947 - display current terminal locale in option menu.
948 - urxvtd no longer crashes when the client sends an inaccessible
949 working directory (reported by Roland Baer, possibly fixes gentoo
950 bug #143985).
951 - fixed many minor issues reported by Roland Baer.
952 - Leonid Khramov spotted a minor glitch in rxvtfont.C that
953 should not have any consequences, but was buggy nonetheless.
954 - manpage fix by exg.
955
9567.9 Mon Aug 7 18:16:07 CEST 2006
957 - fix the crashing bug people encountered with 7.8 + urxvtd + perl
958 + transparency. Ought to fix debian bug #380348.
959 - fix urxvtc.1.pod: it actually claimed -pty-fd would not work. But
960 it does! :->
961 - rxvt_fatal() in case the locale string is too long for our static buffer.
962 - fixed many, many, typos in the manpages (patch supplied by ves).
963
9647.8 Mon Jul 17 21:00:46 CEST 2006
965 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: this version will always read ~/.Xdefaults,
966 earlier versions only read it if display-resources (usually from
967 .Xresources) are not set. This avoids the #1 FAQ ("why isn't my
968 resource used") and seems to be logical behaviour, too. .Xdefaults
969 resources have a lower priority than display-specific resources.
970 - add "kuake" perl extension that does a similar thing to the kuake
971 terminal emulator (see man urxvtperl).
972 - use less "correct" color scaling that is compatible with libX11 and
973 Xft (avoids off-by-one colors resulting in striped backgrounds).
974 - the "depth" resource is now respected.
975 - preset the searchable-scrollback pattern with "(?i)" to default search
976 to case-insensitivity. Will automatically be cleared when typing an
977 uppercase character.
978 - add FORCE_UNBUFFERED_XFT define to features.h.
979 - re-enabled highlightcolor support with --enable-frills, based on
980 a patch by Martin Stubenschrott.
981 - double-buffered xft drawing did suffer from pixel offset issues
982 when pixmap transparency was enabled.
983 - strategically add # to the url-match regexes, as we really want to
984 match common URIs not common URLs. Reported by Aaron Griffin.
985 - moved on_osc_seq to on_osc_seq_perl and added a more
986 generic osc_seq.
987 - fix a bug causing double callback invocations when perl hooks
988 were invoked recursively.
989 - the automove-background extension now properly works when the
990 pixmap gets reset with an osc sequence (sqweek).
991 - selection-pastebin did not work properly with non-latin1-characters.
992 - apply colorUL only when the text colour is the default fg
993 (patch by Wu Fengguang).
994 - removed rxvtlib.h from the tarball, it had no reason to be there
995 (spotted by Decklin Foster).
996 - fix compiling with TRANSPARENT but !XPM_BACKGROUND, as reported
997 by omatunto_.
998 - slap in a using namespace std, might help on platforms that don't
999 follow C++ closely enough.
1000 - fix mailto url regex, spotted within milliseconds by Jost Krieger.
1001 - applied fade_color_update_func.patch by WU Fengguang.
1002 - fix a bug where (due to an optimisation in av_delete), hiding the
1003 bottom-most overlay would hide two overlays.
1004
10057.7 Tue Feb 21 12:32:49 CET 2006
1006 - use double-buffered drawing (xft fonts only). On many driver/hardware
1007 combination this actually increases xft drawing speed, at the expense
1008 of more network bandwidth and slight nausea on the side of the author.
1009 - readline perl extension now requires shift-click instead of a normal
1010 click, and eats the click.
1011 - tabbed perl extension now supports -e.
1012 - disabled graphics-exposures on the main drawing GC, report any
1013 refresh bugs please.
1014 - improve property handling for -pe tabbed: avoid unnecessary property
1015 changes (for kde's benefit) at the expense of extra round-trips,
1016 improve size hint setting.
1017 - modified XIM according to a patch sent by Takano Akio that sets
1018 the preedit rectangle for OverTheSpot, which helps some input methods
1019 to correctly position their preedit window.
1020 - un-optimise the line clearing on newly scrolled-in lines a bit: the
1021 former reasoning was that any fg colour on default bg looks the same
1022 in empty spaces, but that's not true when reversing (e.g. selection),
1023 so also check for matching fg colours. This fixes the problem where
1024 selecting newly scrolled-in lines would exhibit wrong colours.
1025 - fix a bug in the perl interface causing focus in events to generate
1026 focus out perl events, causing bad focus effects with -pe tabbed.
1027 - fix a race resulting in a crash on exiting.
1028 - fix a with --disable-xft that caused xfreecolors to be called on
1029 colors never allocated, resulting in aborts (reported by Paco-Paco).
1030 - resources on non-initial screens weren't refetched correctly
1031 (reported by Paco-Paco).
1032 - fix a bug in xcopyarea pass and _disable_ it, as it seems not to be
1033 working in either rxvt-unicode nor in the original rxvt.
1034 - removed undocumented -exec alias for the -e option.
1035
10367.6 Fri Feb 10 08:52:36 CET 2006
1037 - changed interpretation of [alpha] colour prefix.
1038 - +option now really sets the option to default, instead of using the
1039 resource value.
1040 - options that require an argument now really _require_ an argument.
1041 - the tabbed extension now forwards focus and key events to the
1042 relevant tab window.
1043 - tab colours are now configurable and have sensible defaults
1044 (initial patch by hednod).
1045 - option menu is extendable, readline, selection and
1046 selection-autotransform can now be disabled/enabled at runtime.
1047 - forcing a configure event to tabbed subwindows with -pe tabbed, for
1048 the benefit of automove-background.
1049 - the automove-background extension added a wrong constant offset.
1050 - force refresh of XA_RESOURCE_STRING on virtual reconnect.
1051 - return exit status 2 in urxvtc when urxvtd couldn't be contacted.
1052 - the linux yield hack is back, now using usleep, and enabled only on
1053 __linux__.
1054 - further round trip eliminations in the !XFT case by remembering
1055 the colour components.
1056 - plain scrollbar works better with -sr.
1057 - fixed half-shadow scrollbar look.
1058 - more colour rtt optimisations.
1059 - properly(?) free colours on window close.
1060 - reorganised the FAQ into multiple sections.
1061 - add ISO646.1991-IRV to the list of supported codesets.
1062 - minor libptytty update.
1063
10647.5 Tue Jan 31 15:15:43 CET 2006
1065 - further improvements to the careful mode detection, and font width
1066 detection:
1067 - fully double-wide fonts will now be correctly treated,
1068 - overlap detection was improved.
1069 - detect totally broken fonts (usually synthesized by xft).
1070 - careful mode forced refresh sometimes clashed with blinking,
1071 causing unnecessary screen redraws.
1072 - better handling of XFT combining characters.
1073 - enable antialiasing for some replacement fonts, as they
1074 might get used for other encodings which really need it, later.
1075 - remove spacing=100 from all default fonts, as this creates totally
1076 weird spacing (5 times normal) with xft.
1077 - removed iso10646 fallback, as xorgs iso10646 encoded fonts are mostly
1078 broken.
1079 - removed gnu unifont fallback, all combining characters are broken.
1080 - replace named colours by xorg's rgb.txt equivalents, to
1081 reduce round trip time on startup, and short-cut allocation
1082 of rgb:rr/gg/bb for xft.
1083 - short-cut allocation of rgb values in the xlib case
1084 (patch by Paco-Paco).
1085 - overhauled color management: smaller codesize, alpha support.
1086 - support "rgba:rrrr/gggg/bbbb/aaaa" color specifications and
1087 an "[alpha]" prefix.
1088 - try to work around Xft and Xrender forcing everything to be 100%
1089 transparent. Long Live Xft!
1090 - do not include X11/Intrinsic.h anymore, directly use
1091 Xlib/Xutil/Xresource directly.
1092 - try to find a nearest matching color when color allocation fails
1093 on a pseudocolor screen.
1094 - SYNCCVS: compared to rxvt-cvs 2006-01-28, no relevant changes.
1095 - fix version report (DA) (which was unfortunately broken).
1096 - changed version number report again, now to emulate xterm closer.
1097 - added the OSC sequence 702 to detect the urxvt version number.
1098 - small configure updates.
1099 - further RTT optimisations.
1100 - backported clean-up patches for makefiles and documentation from
1101 the debian package.
1102 - updated doc/rxvt-unicode.spec file. It's still not maintained here,
1103 but much newer than the old one.
1104
11057.4 Sat Jan 28 15:26:27 CET 2006
1106 - screen background wasn't always erased properly when scrolling,
1107 - re-enabled clearing optimisation disabled in 7.4pre.
1108 - small configure updates for libptytty.
1109 - fixed version options: line output.
1110 - removed stoopid debugging message left in the code.
1111
11127.3 Wed Jan 25 22:47:35 CET 2006
1113 - don't let iso14755 or mouse reporting get into the way of perl
1114 (could lead to global grabs never being cleared).
1115 - experimental OnTheSpot editing support (-pe xim-onthespot).
1116 - moved Shift-Button2 paste combination to Meta-Button2.
1117 - the cutchars resource will now be respected and used by the
1118 selection extension.
1119 - added the "remote-clipboard" extension which just runs external
1120 commands to fetch and store the selection data.
1121 - added -depth switch that tries to get a different visual depth
1122 than the default (replaces the old PREFER_24_BIT logic).
1123 - removed (unused) arabic presentation form composing sequences.
1124 - be more strict when deciding that a core font glyph is too wide and
1125 needs the careful rendering mode.
1126 - allow more leeway for italic fonts when deciding that a character is
1127 too wide and needs careful mode.
1128 - redraw even more characters around characters using careful mode.
1129 - made selection-pastebin fully asynchronous.
1130 - reduced number of server turnarounds at startup by allocating
1131 atoms only once per display.
1132 - renamed on_keyboard_command to on_user_command.
1133 - changed version sos (ESC [ > c) response to be more compatible with
1134 xterm.
1135
11367.2 Sun Jan 22 21:58:16 CET 2006
1137 - bugfix: urxvt (not urxvtd) did not correctly handle multiple
1138 environments necessary, which resulted in segfaults within
1139 getenv (reproducible: urxvt -fn 9x15, open a menu once,
1140 ctrl-shift-672c).
1141 - bugfix: the selection speedup in in 7.1 unfortunately caused
1142 non-ascii characters to enlarge/move the selection.
1143 - bugfix: resizing sometimes leaked lines from the secondary to
1144 the primary screen.
1145 - bugfix: reducing window size while large amounts of text were output
1146 could lead to an assertion failure.
1147 - added "tabbed" extension that provides a crude tabbed terminal.
1148 - added "readline" extension that allows cursor positioning
1149 via mouse clicks.
1150 - now it is possible to insert the value of the CLIPBOARD selection
1151 with shift - mouse button 2.
1152 - fixed the automove-background extension to ignore coordinates
1153 in non-synthetic events.
1154 - created a separate libpty for portable and secure
1155 pty/tty/utmp/wtmp/lastlog handling, and include it in rxvt-unicode.
1156 - the non-terminfo visual bell now works asynchronously, so
1157 continuous ASCI BELs in one terminal do no longer monopolise the
1158 whole urxvt[d] process.
1159 - support some *BSD makes (for the time being, gnu make is a safe bet).
1160 - work around bugs in FreeBSD's gcc.
1161 - implemented some *BSD fixes in configure.
1162 - removed support for obsolete offix dnd protocol.
1163
11647.1 Thu Jan 19 20:25:34 CET 2006
1165 - setuid/setgid operation is now _encouraged_: security has been
1166 improved by moving privileged operations into a separate process
1167 and permanently dropping privileges within the terminal. This
1168 makes it possible to remove security checks from the perl code
1169 and gives a much safer feeling when urxvt needs to run with
1170 special privileges.
1171 - perl taint checking disabled, as urxvt no longer runs setuid/setgid
1172 itself.
1173 - new perl extension automove-background that can be used to get
1174 the same effect as pseudo-transparency with any pixmap.
1175 - new perl extension example: perl/selection-pastebin, can be used to
1176 e.g. upload the selection to a webserver and generate a url, or
1177 similar stuff.
15 - use the scrollback buffer even when the scroll region doesn't 1178 - use the scrollback buffer even when the scroll region doesn't
16 span the whole screen, as long as it starts at row 0. 1179 span the whole screen, as long as it starts at row 0. Helps
1180 for programs displaying a status line at the bottom.
17 - selection popup now shows selection in dec/hex/oct. 1181 - selection popup now shows selection in dec/hex/oct.
18 - perl/selection: matching on unicode characters in the selection 1182 - perl/selection: matching on unicode characters in the selection
19 code was O(n²), which equals infinity in some degenerate cases 1183 code was O(n²), which equals infinity in some degenerate cases
20 :-> Matching is now done on UTF-8, which makes it almost instant. 1184 :-> Matching is now done on UTF-8, which makes it almost instant.
21 - perl/selection, perl/selection-autotransform: regexes are now 1185 - perl/selection, perl/selection-autotransform: regexes are now
22 being interpreted in the locale urxvt was started. 1186 being interpreted in the locale urxvt was started.
23 - perl-overlays and refresh hooks were not applied in correct order. 1187 - implemented override-redirect option and enabled it on menus,
24 - changed coordinate-system of view_start/nsaved to be top to bottom. 1188 as kwin puts our windows behind the terminal (what a shoddy wm).
25 - applied many patches by Emanuele Giaquinta that clean the code up 1189 - fixed struct utmp check in configure for OpenBSD.
26 and fix more bugs in the utmp logging code. 1190 - complete overhaul of the pty/utmp management stuff and configure
1191 (Emanuele Giaquinta=exg).
27 - add tsl/fsl and related capabilities to the terminfo description, 1192 - add tsl/fsl and related capabilities to the terminfo description,
28 to set the window title. 1193 to set the window title.
1194 - swap the environment in some more cases. This hopefully fixes
1195 some segfaults that might be caused by xft asking for env variables
1196 at the wrong time.
1197 - removed src/strings.C and src/menubar.C. No menubar support
1198 anymore.
1199 - removed all traces of SMOOTH_REFRESH.
1200 - nuked QNX support.
1201 - made some fixes to xpm offset and scaling code.
1202 - perl-overlays and refresh hooks were not applied in correct order.
1203 - changed coordinate-system of view_start/nsaved to be top to bottom.
1204 - iom extended to support listening for child exits.
