159.0 208.5 Wed Nov 21 05:19:20 CET 2007
16TODO: distributed clipboard example 21 - expect major portability issues in this release: please test and report.
22 - converted from the veritable io manager event loop to
23 the high performance libev (http://software.schmorp.de/pkg/libev).

29 geometry string. For example: rxvt -pixmap "image.jpg;:root"
30 - do not link rxvtc against every lib on the planet anymore.
31 - parallel builds should work once more.
17 32

65
668.2 Sat Feb 17 21:35:28 CET 2007
67 - fix make depend in src/, reported by exg.
68 - fixed typo in urxvt::GET_CUSTOM, causing the result to be wrong.
69 (patch by Sergey Vlasov).
70 - unbundled iom perl interface somewhat.
71 - scrollbar-xterm now uses the selected scrollColor instead of fg
72 (found by Aiviru).
73 - disabled linux kernel bug workaround again: disabling it gives
74 a 50% speed hit on affected machines, while enabling it gives
75 a similar speed hit to screen, which is likely the more common
76 case to work around for :/
77 - urxvt::rend2mask perl function, and utilization of it by matcher
78 (patch by Moshe Kamensky).
79 - use perl:matcher on a keysym to open most recently displayed URL.
80 - with matcher, when multiple patterns match, last wins, not first.
81 - fix make and make install with srcdir != builddir (exg).
82 - updated bundled libptytty to fix a bug where the tty would be kept
83 open (see the libptytty ChangeLog for details).
84 - delay setting the IUTF8 flag to after the tty settings have been
85 set so its value does not get lost (reported and analysed by Andrei
86 Paskevich).
87 - rip out support for obsolete sgtty.h interface.
88 - rip out support for non-POSIX termios variants.
89 - update libptytty.
90 - update iom.C, make it call ptytty::sanitise_stdfd on init.
91 - when !XFT, change rounding of colours to use a less correct formula to
92 meet user expectancies (#aaa becomes #a000a000a000 not #9f9f9f9f9f9f).
93 - change the starting offset of the pixmap set with backgroundPixmap
94 from (50,50) to (0,0) (exg).
95 - fix a typo in button_release, now meta-button2 request the value of
96 the Clipboard selection as it should (patch by Serge Koksharov).
97 - fix a bug in drawing a cell with a nonspacing char when using an xft
98 font with inheritPixmap and tintColor (exg).
99
1008.1 Thu Dec 7 22:27:25 CET 2006
101 - ケリスマスプレゼント - zomg!!1, it's too early!!!
102 - fix the assumption that chars < 256 are single-width. Now
103 only assume this for codepoints 32 to 126 (reported by Dai.H.).
104 - $term->strwidth returned wide chars as width 1, because some jerk
105 confused min and max. Fixing this also fixes xim-onthespot.
106 Reported by Takano Akio.
107 - secondaryScroll is now enabled by default (as per the manpage),
108 reported by exg.
109 - correct the description of [percent]color rgba format in the manpage.
110 - incorporated macosx-clipboard extension by Samuel Ljungkvist.
111 - ignore (some) useless focus events (reported by mmc).
112 - updated compose table to unicode 5.0.0.
113
1148.0 Thu Nov 2 18:35:19 CET 2006
115 - combining characters cleared the area instead of creating an overlay,
116 thus losing the ability to draw combining characters properly in most
117 circumstances (reported by exg).
118 - specified fonts were incorrectly morphed to bold/italic according to the
119 basefont, even if explicitly specified (tracked down by tpope).
120 - fixed urxvt::strwidth to calculate width in the same way as screen.C.
121 - fix a crash caused by passing negative widths to overlay functions.
122 - added 'matcher' extension by tpope, replacing the mark-urls extension.
123 - improve url regex to match anything www.* (tpope).
124 - fixed bug with outline cursor color being wrong after xft fonts.
125 - update to libptytty-1.0.
126 - give proper diagnostic when RXVT_SOCKET is too long instead of
127 corrupting the stack (patch by exg).
128 - display current terminal locale in option menu.
129 - urxvtd no longer crashes when the client sends an inaccessible
130 working directory (reported by Roland Baer, possibly fixes gentoo
131 bug #143985).
132 - fixed many minor issues reported by Roland Baer.
133 - Leonid Khramov spotted a minor glitch in rxvtfont.C that
134 should not have any consequences, but was buggy nonetheless.
135 - manpage fix by exg.
136
1377.9 Mon Aug 7 18:16:07 CEST 2006
138 - fix the crashing bug people encountered with 7.8 + urxvtd + perl
139 + transparency. Ought to fix debian bug #380348.
140 - fix urxvtc.1.pod: it actually claimed -pty-fd would not work. But
141 it does! :->
142 - rxvt_fatal() in case the locale string is too long for our static buffer.
143 - fixed many, many, typos in the manpages (patch supplied by ves).
144
1457.8 Mon Jul 17 21:00:46 CEST 2006
146 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: this version will always read ~/.Xdefaults,
147 earlier versions only read it if display-resources (usually from
148 .Xresources) are not set. This avoids the #1 FAQ ("why isn't my
149 resource used") and seems to be logical behaviour, too. .Xdefaults
150 resources have a lower priority than display-specific resources.
151 - add "kuake" perl extension that does a similar thing to the kuake
152 terminal emulator (see man urxtvperl).
153 - use less "correct" color scaling that is compatible with libX11 and
154 Xft (avoids off-by-one colors resulting in striped backgrounds).
155 - the "depth" resource is now respected.
156 - preset the searchable-scrollback pattern with "(?i)" to default search
157 to case-insensitivity. Will automatically be cleared when typing an
158 uppercase character.
159 - add FORCE_UNBUFFERED_XFT define to features.h.
160 - re-enabled highlightcolor support with --enable-frills, based on
161 a patch by Martin Stubenschrott.
162 - double-buffered xft drawing did suffer from pixel offset issues
163 when pixmap transparency was enabled.
164 - strategically add # to the url-match regexes, as we really want to
165 match common URIs not common URLs. Reported by Aaron Griffin.
166 - moved on_osc_seq to on_osc_seq_perl and added a more
167 generic osc_seq.
168 - fix a bug causing double callback invocations when perl hooks
169 were invoked recursively.
170 - the automove-background extension now properly works when the
171 pixmap gets reset with an osc sequence (sqweek).
172 - selection-pastebin did not work properly with non-latin1-characters.
173 - apply colorUL only when the text colour is the default fg
174 (patch by Wu Fengguang).
175 - removed rxvtlib.h from the tarball, it had no reason to be there
176 (spotted by Decklin Foster).
177 - fix compiling with TRANSPARENT but !XPM_BACKGROUND, as reported
178 by omatunto_.
179 - slap in a using namespace std, might help on platforms that don't
180 follow C++ closely enough.
181 - fix mailto url regex, spotted within milliseconds by Jost Krieger.
182 - applied fade_color_update_func.patch by WU Fengguang.
183 - fix a bug where (due to an optimisation in av_delete), hiding the
184 bottom-most overlay would hide two overlays.
185
1867.7 Tue Feb 21 12:32:49 CET 2006
187 - use double-buffered drawing (xft fonts only). On many driver/hardware
188 combination this actually increases xft drawing speed, at the expense
189 of more network bandwidth and slight nausea on the side of the author.
190 - readline perl extension now requires shift-click instead of a normal
191 click, and eats the click.
192 - tabbed perl extension now supports -e.
193 - disabled graphics-exposures on the main drawing GC, report any
194 refresh bugs please.
195 - improve property handling for -pe tabbed: avoid unnecessary property
196 changes (for kde's benefit) at the expense of extra round-trips,
197 improve size hint setting.
198 - modified XIM according to a patch sent by Takano Akio that sets
199 the preedit rectangle for OverTheSpot, which helps some input methods
200 to correctly position their preedit window.
201 - un-optimise the line clearing on newly scrolled-in lines a bit: the
202 former reasoning was that any fg colour on default bg looks the same
203 in empty spaces, but thats not true when reversing (e.g. selection),
204 so also check for matching fg colours. This fixes the problem where
205 selecting newly scrolled-in lines would exhibit wrong colours.
206 - fix a bug in the perl interface causing focus in events to generate
207 focus out perl events, causing bad focus effects with -pe tabbed.
208 - fix a race resulting in a crash on exiting.
209 - fix a with --disable-xft that caused xfreecolors to be called on
210 colors never allocated, resulting in aborts (reported by Paco-Paco).
211 - resources on non-initial screens weren't refetched correctly
212 (reported by Paco-Paco).
213 - fix a bug in xcopyarea pass and _disable_ it, as it seems not to be
214 working in either rxvt-unicode nor in the original rxvt.
215 - removed undocumented -exec alias for the -e option.
216
2177.6 Fri Feb 10 08:52:36 CET 2006
218 - changed interpretation of [alpha] colour prefix.
219 - +option now really sets the option to default, instead of using the
220 resource value.
221 - options that require an argument now really _require_ an argument.
222 - the tabbed extension now forwards focus and keys events to th
223 relevant tab window.
224 - tab colours are now configurable and have sensible defaults
225 (initial patch by hednod).
226 - option menu is extendable, readline, selection and
227 selection-autotransform can now be disabled/enabled at runtime.
228 - forcing a configure event to tabbed subwindows with -pe tabbed, for
229 the benefit of automove-background.
230 - the automove-background extension added a wrong constant offset.
231 - force refresh of XA_RESOURCE_STRING on virtual reconnect.
232 - return exit status 2 in urxvtc when urxvtd couldn't be contacted.
233 - the linux yield hack is back, now using usleep, and enabled only on
234 __linux__.
235 - further round trip eliminations in the !XFT case by remembering
236 the colour components.
237 - plain scrollbar works better with -sr.
238 - fixed half-shadow scrollbar look.
239 - more colour rtt optimisations.
240 - properly(?) free colours on window close.
241 - reorganised the FAQ into multiple sections.
242 - add ISO646.1991-IRV to the list of supported codesets.
243 - minor libptytty update.
244
2457.5 Tue Jan 31 15:15:43 CET 2006
246 - further improvements to the careful mode detection, and font width
247 detection:
248 - fully double-wide fonts will now be correctly treated,
249 - overlap detection was improved.
250 - detect totally broken fonts (usually synthesized by xft).
251 - careful mode forced refresh sometimes clashed with blinking,
252 causing unnecessary screen redraws.
253 - better handling of XFT combining characters.
254 - enable antialiasing for some replacement fonts, as they
255 might get used for other encodings which really need it, later.
256 - remove spacing=100 from all default fonts, as this creates totally
257 weird spacing (5 times normal) with xft.
258 - removed iso10646 fallback, as xorgs iso10646 encoded fonts are mostly
259 broken.
260 - removed gnu unifont fallback, all combining characters are broken.
261 - replace named colours by xorg's rgb.txt equivalents, to
262 reduce round trip time on startup, and short-cut allocation
263 of rgb:rr/gg/bb for xft.
264 - short-cut allocation of rgb values in the xlib case
265 (patch by Paco-Paco).
266 - overhauled color management: smaller codesize, alpha support.
267 - support "rgba:rrrr/gggg/bbbb/aaaa" color specifications and
268 an "[alpha]" prefix.
269 - try to work around Xft and Xrender forcing everything to be 100%
270 transparent. Long Live Xft!
271 - do not include X11/Intrinsic.h anymore, directly use
272 Xlib/Xutil/Xresource directly.
273 - try to find a nearest matching color when color allocation fails
274 on a pseudocolor screen.
275 - SYNCCVS: compared to rxvt-cvs 2006-01-28, no relevant changes.
276 - fix version report (DA) (which was unfortunately broken).
277 - changed version number report again, now to emulate xterm closer.
278 - added the OSC sequence 702 to detect the urxvt version number.
279 - small configure updates.
280 - further RTT optimisations.
281 - backported clean-up patches for makefiles and documentation from
282 the debian package.
283 - updated doc/rxvt-unicode.spec file. It's still not maintained here,
284 but much newer than the old one.
285
2867.4 Sat Jan 28 15:26:27 CET 2006
287 - screen background wasn't always erased properly when scrolling,
288 - re-enabled clearing optimisation disabled in 7.4pre.
289 - small configure updates for libptytty.
290 - fixed version options: line output.
291 - removed stoopid debugging message left in the code.
292
2937.3 Wed Jan 25 22:47:35 CET 2006
294 - don't let iso14755 or mouse reporting get into the way of perl
295 (could lead to global grabs never being cleared).
296 - experimental OnTheSpot editing support (-pe xim-onthespot).
297 - moved Shift-Button2 paste combination to Meta-Button2.
298 - the cutchars resource will now be respected and used by the
299 selection extension.
300 - added the "remote-clipboard" extension which just runs external
301 commands to fetch and store the selection data.
302 - added -depth switch that tries to get a different visual depth
303 than the default (replaces the old PREFER_24_BIT logic).
304 - removed (unused) arabic presentation form composing sequences.
305 - be more strict when deciding that a core font glyph is too wide and
306 needs the careful rendering mode.
307 - allow more leeway for italic fonts when deciding that a character is
308 too wide and needs careful mode.
309 - redraw even more characters around characters using careful mode.
310 - made selection-pastebin fully asynchronous.
311 - reduced number of server turnarounds at startup by allocating
312 atoms only once per display.
313 - renamed on_keyboard_command to on_user_command.
314 - changed version sos (ESC [ > c) response to be more compatible with
315 xterm.
316
3177.2 Sun Jan 22 21:58:16 CET 2006
318 - bugfix: urxvt (not urxvtd) did not correctly handle multiple
319 environments necessary, which resulted in segfaults within
320 getenv (reproducable: urxvt -fn 9x15, open a menu once,
321 ctrl-shift-672c).
322 - bugfix: the selection speedup in in 7.1 unfortunately caused
323 non-ascii characters to enlarge/move the selection.
324 - bugfix: resizing sometimes leaked lines from the secondary to
325 the primary screen.
326 - bugfix: reducing window size while large amounts of text were output
327 could lead to an assertion failure.
328 - added "tabbed" extension that provides a crude tabbed terminal.
329 - added "readline" extension that allows cursor positioning
330 via mouse clicks.
331 - now it is possible to insert the value of the CLIPBOARD selection
332 with shift - mouse button 2.
333 - fixed the automove-background extension to ignore coordinates
334 in non-synthetic events.
335 - created a separate libpty for portable and secure
336 pty/tty/utmp/wtmp/lastlog handling, and include it in rxvt-unicode.
337 - the non-terminfo visual bell now works asynchronously, so
338 continuous ASCI BELs in one terminal do no longer monopolise the
339 whole urxvt[d] process.
340 - support some *BSD makes (for the time being, gnu make is a safe bet).
341 - work around bugs in FreeBSD's gcc.
342 - implemented some *BSD fixes in configure.
343 - removed support for obsolete offix dnd protocol.
344
3457.1 Thu Jan 19 20:25:34 CET 2006
18 - setuid/setgid operation is now _encouraged_: security has been 346 - setuid/setgid operation is now _encouraged_: security has been
