21 - further improvements to the careful mode detection, and font width
22 detection:
23 - fully double-wide fonts will now be correctly treated,
24 - overlap detection was improved.
25 - detect totally broken fonts (usually synthesized by xft).
26 - careful mode forced refresh sometimes clashed with blinking,
27 causing unnecessary screen redraws.
28 - better handling of XFT combining characters.
29 - enable antialiasing for some replacement fonts, as they
30 might get used for other encodings which really need it, later.
31 - remove spacing=100 from all default fonts, as this creates totally
32 weird spacing (5 times normal) with xft.
33 - removed iso10646 fallback, as xorgs iso10646 encoded fonts are mostly
34 broken.
35 - removed gnu unifont fallback, all combining characters are broken.
36 - replace named colours by xorg's rgb.txt equivalents, to
37 reduce round trip time on startup, and short-cut allocation
38 of rgb:rr/gg/bb for xft.
39 - short-cut allocation of rgb values in the xlib case
40 (patch by Paco-Paco).
41 - overhauled color management: smaller codesize, alpha support.
42 - support "rgba:rrrr/gggg/bbbb/aaaa" color specifications and
43 an "[alpha]" prefix.
44 - try to work around Xft and Xrender forcing everything to be 100%
45 transparent. Long Live Xft!
46 - do not include X11/Intrinsic.h anymore, directly use
47 Xlib/Xutil/Xresource directly.
48 - try to find a nearest matching color when color allocation fails
49 on a pseudocolor screen.
50 - SYNCCVS: compared to rxvt-cvs 2006-01-28, no relevant changes.
51 - fix version report (DA) (which was unfortunately broken).
52 - changed version number report again, now to emulate xterm closer.
53 - added the OSC sequence 702 to detect the urxvt version number.
54 - small configure updates.
55 - further RTT optimisations.
56
577.4 Sat Jan 28 15:26:27 CET 2006
58 - screen background wasn't always erased properly when scrolling,
59 - re-enabled clearing optimisation disabled in 7.4pre.
60 - small configure updates for libptytty.
61 - fixed version options: line output.
62 - removed stoopid debugging message left in the code.
63
647.3 Wed Jan 25 22:47:35 CET 2006
65 - don't let iso14755 or mouse reporting get into the way of perl
66 (could lead to global grabs never being cleared).
67 - experimental OnTheSpot editing support (-pe xim-onthespot).
68 - moved Shift-Button2 paste combination to Meta-Button2.
69 - the cutchars resource will now be respected and used by the
70 selection extension.
71 - added the "remote-clipboard" extension which just runs external
72 commands to fetch and store the selection data.
73 - added -depth switch that tries to get a different visual depth
74 than the default (replaces the old PREFER_24_BIT logic).
75 - removed (unused) arabic presentation form composing sequences.
76 - be more strict when deciding that a core font glyph is too wide and
77 needs the careful rendering mode.
78 - allow more leeway for italic fonts when deciding that a character is
79 too wide and needs careful mode.
80 - redraw even more characters around characters using careful mode.
81 - made selection-pastebin fully asynchronous.
82 - reduced number of server turnarounds at startup by allocating
83 atoms only once per display.
84 - renamed on_keyboard_command to on_user_command.
85 - changed version sos (ESC [ > c) response to be more compatible with
86 xterm.
87
887.2 Sun Jan 22 21:58:16 CET 2006
89 - bugfix: urxvt (not urxvtd) did not correctly handle multiple
90 environments necessary, which resulted in segfaults within
91 getenv (reproducable: urxvt -fn 9x15, open a menu once,
92 ctrl-shift-672c).
93 - bugfix: the selection speedup in in 7.1 unfortunately caused
94 non-ascii characters to enlarge/move the selection.
95 - bugfix: resizing sometimes leaked lines from the secondary to
96 the primary screen.
97 - bugfix: reducing window size while large amounts of text were output
98 could lead to an assertion failure.
99 - added "tabbed" extension that provides a crude tabbed terminal.
100 - added "readline" extension that allows cursor positioning
101 via mouse clicks.
102 - now it is possible to insert the value of the CLIPBOARD selection
103 with shift - mouse button 2.
104 - fixed the automove-background extension to ignore coordinates
105 in non-synthetic events.
106 - created a separate libpty for portable and secure
107 pty/tty/utmp/wtmp/lastlog handling, and include it in rxvt-unicode.
108 - the non-terminfo visual bell now works asynchronously, so
109 continuous ASCI BELs in one terminal do no longer monopolise the
110 whole urxvt[d] process.
111 - support some *BSD makes (for the time being, gnu make is a safe bet).
112 - work around bugs in FreeBSD's gcc.
113 - implemented some *BSD fixes in configure.
114 - removed support for obsolete offix dnd protocol.
115
1167.1 Thu Jan 19 20:25:34 CET 2006
117 - setuid/setgid operation is now _encouraged_: security has been
118 improved by moving privileged operations into a separate process
119 and permanently dropping privileges within the terminal. This
120 makes it possible to remove security checks from the perl code
121 and gives a much safer feeling when urxvt needs to run with
122 special privileges.
123 - perl taint checking disabled, as urxvt no longer runs setuid/setgid
124 itself.
125 - new perl extension automove-background that can be used to get
126 the same effect as pseudo-transparency with any pixmap.
127 - new perl extension example: perl/selection-pastebin, can be used to
128 e.g. upload the selection to a webserver and generate a url, or
129 similar stuff.
17 - use the scrollback buffer even when the scroll region doesn't 130 - use the scrollback buffer even when the scroll region doesn't
18 span the whole screen, as long as it starts at row 0. 131 span the whole screen, as long as it starts at row 0. Helps
19 - swap the environment in some more cases. This hopefully fixes 132 for programs displaying a status line at the bottom.
20 some segfaults that might be caused by xft asking for env variables
21 at the wrong time.
22 - selection popup now shows selection in dec/hex/oct. 133 - selection popup now shows selection in dec/hex/oct.

139 - implemented override-redirect option and enabled it on menus,
140 as kwin puts our windows behind the terminal (what a shoddy wm).
141 - fixed struct utmp check in configure for OpenBSD.
142 - complete overhaul of the pty/utmp management stuff and configure
143 (Emanuele Giaquinta).
144 - add tsl/fsl and related capabilities to the terminfo description,

147 some segfaults that might be caused by xft asking for env variables

150 anymore.
151 - removed all traces of SMOOTH_REFRESH.
152 - nuked QNX support.
153 - made some fixes to xpm offset and scaling code.
28 - perl-overlays and refresh hooks were not applied in correct order. 154 - perl-overlays and refresh hooks were not applied in correct order.
