41 - do not start blinking cursor if the window is unfocused (reported by
42 Devin J. Pohly).
43 - change the width of underline and i-beam cursor to 2 pixels (based on
44 a patch by Omar Sandoval).
45 - a keysym resource for a key which is already bound to an
46 action now properly rebinds the key.
47 - the key_press hook is now invoked before processing the
48 event, as documented. This change was done in 9.21 but not
49 announced and fixes debian bugs #511377, #531751 and red hat
50 bug #1105069. Note that this change breaks a few scripts,
51 such as mark-yank-urls, which rely on the previous buggy
52 behaviour that urxvt processes the event (in particular
53 keysym bindings) before invoking the hook.
54 - the tabbed extension now properly refreshes the active tab
55 on a key press when the mouse pointer is outside the terminal
56 window.
57 - add 'lookup_keysym' perl method to lookup the action bound
58 to a key combination.
59 - a key combination bound to 'matcher:select' can now be used
60 to cycle through the matches in matcher.
61
629.21 Wed Dec 31 14:50:03 CET 2014
63 - the "moa redraw 8-bit british vintage colour management" release.
64 - NOTICE: this release updates terminfo.
65 - fix pixel droppings on overdraw when a secondary core font has the
66 same height but different ascent.
67 - implement cvvis in terminfo as blinking cursor, to distinguish it
68 from cnorm (emacs uses cvvis which is commonly a blinking cursor).
69 - when xft support was compiled in, colour queries erroneously returned
70 premultiplied values, this also affected internal queries, for example
71 when calculating faded colour. alpha is now divided out when possible,
72 which is more correct but loses colour resolution.
73 - add DECSCUSR xterm extension to set the cursor to a vertical bar.
74 - add 'extension:string' action, and associated on_action perl
75 hook, for keysym resources that invokes actions provided by
76 perl extensions. The 'perl:string' action and
77 on_user_command hook are deprecated but still supported.
78 - add 'builtin-string' action for keysym resources that restores string
79 mappings for keys that have predefined actions in urxvt.
80 - add -k option to urxvtc for killing the daemon process.
81 - document urxvtd's -e/--eval option that was implemented in 9.16,
82 but not documented.
83 - add -dockapp option to make the wm treat urxvt as a dockapp.
84 - add -mc option and multiClickTime resource to set the maximum time
85 between multi-click select events (patch by Joe Peterson).
86 - new 'eval' extension to evaluate arbitrary perl code with keysym
87 bindings. The extension also provides methods that implement basic
88 actions, such as pasting selections and scrolling.
89 - the macosx-clipboard and macosx-clipboard-native extensions have been removed.
90 - kuake extension now uses the kuake.hotkey resource to specify the hotkey.
91 - new 'matcher:select' mode of matcher to iterate over the matches with the keyboard.
92 - the 'matcher:list' feature of matcher now honours the launcher
93 associated to a matched pattern.
94 - speed-up matcher underlining on very long lines (reported by Edward Z. Yang).
95 - fix up/down commands of searchable-scrollback so that they always move
96 to the previous/next logical line with a match, if any.
97 - searchable-scrollback resource has been deprecated (use keysym instead).
98 - extension parameter passing is deprecated (use resource mechanism instead).
99 - upgrade to GPLv3 (see COPYING).
100 - compile out of the box on Solaris 10, again.
101 - fix height and position of the stippled area in next scrollbar (patch
102 by Thomas Otto).
103 - fix off-by-one bug causing the iso14755 window not to jump out of the
104 way properly.
105 - fix crash that may happen if a lib to which urxvt is linked to calls setenv.
106 - fix memory leak in special_{encode,decode} perl methods.
107 - fix refresh bug that occurs when reverse video is set on a cell
108 containing a space and with the same bg and fg colour, red hat bug
109 #830236.
110 - fix crash that may happen if an x error is received after a terminal
111 window/popup has been destroyed already.
112 - removed superfluous 0 digit from sgr terminfo sequence.
113 - greatly improve colour allocation on colour-starved pseudocolour
114 displays to avoid read-write cells instead of simply failing
115 (this is only relevant for antique 8bpp frame buffers).
116 - do not free fade colours when not doing fading (this is likely
117 only relevant for antique 8bpp frame buffers).
118 - do not specialcase 2 or 4 colour visuals, leading to
119 simpler and actually more correct code.
120 - hopefully no longer leak colours on !truecolour visuals.
121 - use consistent method names (scr_recolour => scr_recolor).
122 - use simpler (but slightly less bogus) formula for nearest
123 colour choice (this is likely only relevant for antique 8bpp
124 frame buffers).
125 - remove fallback behaviour when initialising colours - the
126 behaviour was inconsistent between startup vs. later and
127 was only effective when valid colours couldn't be allocated.
128
1299.20 Sat Apr 26 16:22:27 CEST 2014
130 - (libptytty) fix bug that prevented urxvtd from writing utmp
131 entries when using --fork (reported by Ryan Kavanagh).
132 - security bugfix: window property values could be queried even
133 in secure mode (reported by Conor McCarthy).
134 - fix build when perl is enabled and fading is disabled.
135 - fix regression that broke continuous scrolling when pressing
136 and holding the scrollbar up or down button, gentoo bug #493992.
137 - increase the maximum length of a command sequence to 32k bytes,
138 to allow longer OSC sequences (previous limit was 2k).
139 - new Ctrl-Meta-c and Ctrl-Meta-v bindings to interact with
140 the CLIPBOARD selection.
141 - new extension: selection-to-clipboard.
142 - the extensions macosx-clipboard and macosx-clipboard-native
143 are deprecated and will be removed in the next release.
144 Support for the clipboard on OS X can be more generally
145 enabled by setting the XQuartz preference to sync the OS X
146 pasteboard and the X11 clipboard.
147
1489.19 Sun Oct 27 17:16:07 CET 2013
149 - work around perl 5.18.0 breakage in tabbed extension
150 (reported by Karol Blazewicz) and in pod (Dominic Hargreaves).
151 - fix regression that caused the double-click word selection to
152 erroneously include a tab on the left of the selected word.
153 - implement FOCUS variable and focus_fade function in background
154 expression, to allow focus-sensitive background images.
155 - add support for the set cursor style (DECSCUSR) control
156 function.
157 - honour cursorColor also when the cursor style is underline.
158 - export some Color_xxx constants to Perl.
159
1609.18 Sun Mar 24 15:33:35 CET 2013
161 - fix regression that caused artifacts on resize.
162
1639.17 Fri Mar 1 13:46:08 CET 2013
164 - add shade operator in background perl extension.
165 - avoid starting or ending the selection in the middle of wide
166 characters to avoid artifacts (reported by Tiago Resende).
167 - fix artifacts that may occur if the character in the cursor
168 cell has width > 1 (reported by Tiago Resende).
169 - fix regression that causes artifacts on scrolling if
170 saveLines is 0 and the window is resized (reported by Bert
171 Münnich).
172 - fix build when perl is enabled and pixbuf and transparency
173 are disabled.
174
1759.16 Thu Dec 27 11:56:43 CET 2012
176 - the "so much new stuff your eyes will pop out" release.
177 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: renamed urlLauncher resource to url-launcher.
178 - fix processing of DEC private mode save sequences (patch by Patrick
179 Hemmer).
180 - perl extensions now have their own manpages, installed as urxvt-NAME(1),
181 e.g. urxvt-background(1) - see urxvt-extensions(1) for a list.
182 - fix disabling of cursor blink with the option-popup menu (based on a
183 patch by Jan Larres).
184 - the font height is not augmented anymore when lineSpace is non zero.
185 - fix "new pagemap" vs. "delete pagemap" mismatch ([] vs. non-[]),
186 as diagnosed by clang.
187 - fix height mismatch between active and inactive cursor when
188 lineSpace is non zero (patch by Stanislav Seletskiy).
189 - make it compile with LOCAL_X_IS_UNIX again (reported by
190 nickfailure@gmail.com).
191 - completely redone background pixmap support - users can now
192 specify arbitrary expressions (And programs) that calculate
193 new terminal backgrounds. see the urxvt-background manpage
194 for details.
195 - xrender is now required for background pixmap support.
196 - perl extensions can now provide commandline switches and resources
197 which show up in -help etc.
198 - iso14755 51 mode window now displays row and column.
199 - implement a -visual switch and move that and -depth to frills, also
200 warn when we can't get the requested visual.
201 - new env variable: RXVT_PERL_LIB.
202 - allocate all screen memory in one go and let the virtual memory
203 subsystem sort it out. this simplifies code, improves access
204 locality, saves a bit of ram and makes things a bit faster, too.
205 - remove support for libafterimage.
206 - update to CVS version of libev, for a whopping 11kb size decrease.
207 - do not ship yet another copy of ecb.h, use the one in libev or
208 libptytty instead.
209 - selectively mark some methods as cache-hot/cache cold, which
210 might speed up execution but definitely decreases codesize.
211 - Fix regression that prevented the scrollbar trough color
212 from being applied (reported by Derek B. Noonburg).
213 - Fix the scrollbar size for rxvt style (patch by Mark Robinson).
214
2159.15 Sat Jan 21 13:36:56 CET 2012
216 - remove "using namespace std" because clang erroneously
217 thinks thats an error.
218 - finding a matching font (e.g. bold version of the base font)
219 was broken (reported by Eamon Walker).
220 - fix parsing of bg image styles. They really work now.
221 - fix blurring of bg image borders when using xrender.
222 - fix xrender blur on common xrender implementations that do
223 not behave correctly when the same pixmap is used as source
224 and destination in composite operations.
225 - fix regression that caused tabbed to compute the wrong size
226 for tabs.
227 - allow again an empty suffix in a keysym list spec (patch by
228 Sung Pae).
229 - unsupported support for sun studio's CC added.
230 - fix -C option on solaris.
231
2329.14 Wed Dec 21 18:40:33 CET 2011
233 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: the urxvtd default socket path is now
234 $HOME/.urxvt/urxvtd-<nodename>.
235 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: the "list" keysym expansion now requires
236 loading of the "keysym-list" perl extension.
237 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: A scale value of 0 in the bg image
238 geometry no longer enables tiling, so as to make it possible
239 to disable both scaling and tiling.
240 - overhaul of the bg image operations. The old operations have
241 been deprecated in favour of elementary operations and
242 styles built on top of the new operations and scale/position
243 settings. (Emanuele Giaquinta).
244 - support for libafterimage is deprecated and will be removed
245 in the next release.
246 - fix a crash caused by selection_check not properly resetting
247 out-of-bounds mark values (can happen when extending a selection
248 while scrolling up in curses programs for example).
249 - do not move the selection when scrolling up and the selection is
250 outside the scrolling region (Emanuele Giaquinta).
251 - fix display of bold bright black (reported by Ben Winslow).
252 - fix memory leak when urgentOnBell is set (patch by Nathaniel
253 Filardo).
254 - fix a redraw bug that occurs when a bg pixmap is set and the
255 wm does not honour the size hints set by urxvt. Now urxvt
256 forces the size of the terminal window to be a multiple of
257 the cell size.
258 - sanitise the argument of SD / SU sequences. Fixes a possible
259 crash when the argument is big enough, red hat bug #711137
260 (Emanuele Giaquinta).
261 - correctly split long lines when scrolling.
262 - urxvt now looks for perl extensions also in $HOME/.urxvt/ext.
263 - add bell-command perl extension to execute a command when a
264 bell event occurs (Ryan Kavanagh).
265 - add set_urgency perl binding to set/reset the urgency hint.
266 - consume button release event in matcher (exg).
267 - keyboard accessible list of recent matches in matcher
268 (Bob Farrell).
269 - properly process 'keysym' sequences in tabbed when using
270 'focus follows mouse' and the focus is on the main window
271 but not on the active terminal window (patch by Martin
272 Pohlack).
273 - support for the freedesktop startup-notification protocol (patch by
274 Michael Stapelberg).
275 - the direction of VPR and VPB commands was reversed.
276 - fix alignment of inherited root pixmap when it is a different size
277 than the root window and the terminal window is off the left or top
278 edge (Mikachu).
279 - make $self visible in "eval perl expression" popup action, also
280 handle exceptions better.
281 - fix parsing of '-e' when it occurs as an option argument, such as in
282 'urxvt -title -e' (Emanuele Giaquinta).
283
2849.12 Wed Jun 29 14:34:28 CEST 2011
285 - fix regression in processing of SelectionNotify events.
286 urxvt would fail to request a selection if the owner did not
287 support the UTF8_STRING target.
288 - fix rendering of double width chars in certain circumstances, more
289 likely to happen if urxvt is compiled with 256 colors support as
290 urxvt runs out of fonts much earlier then. Fixes gentoo bug #358151
291 (Emanuele Giaquinta).
292 - restore support for 'list' syntax in keysym resources (requested by Sung Pae).
293 - always premultiply colour values - while this increases differences between
294 core fonts and xft, it is "more correct" in practical situations.
295 - disable PTYTTY_REENTRANT option - not needed for urxvt and saves a bit of code.
296 - remove lucidatypewriter from the list of fallback fonts, it was the only
297 non-xft non-cellfont in the list anyway.
298
2999.11 Mon May 2 10:34:46 CEST 2011
300 - fix compilation on GNU/Hurd, debian bug #624736.
301 - remove 'list' syntax for keysym resources, as it serves no useful purpose.
302 If you need it, poke us and provide a use case.
303 - fix alpha channel support. Premultiply alpha in colours if the visual
304 supports an alpha channel, as xrender expects premultiplied alpha
305 (Emanuele Giaquinta).
306 - fix reply to a selection request sent by an obsolete client
307 such as syncterm (patch by Marcin Cieslak).
308 - fix crash when the window is resized and the overlay is active
309 (Emanuele Giaquinta, reported by Ryan Kavanagh).
310 - match character-wise rather than byte-wise in selection
311 extension again. perl 5.8.9+ is required to avoid extreme
312 slowdowns. Fixes debian bugs #523072, #616463.
313 - fix a possible crash if the INCR transfer process for a
314 selection property timeouts and at least one chunk is
315 received. (Emanuele Giaquinta)
316 - work around a memory corruption bug in xorg's XrmSetDatabase (apparently
317 broken since http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/xorg-commit-diffs/2004-March/000239.html).
318 - fix memory corruption bug when custom command sequences bound to keys
319 were injected into an already-full pty input buffer.
320 - gdk-pixbuf is autodetected by default and preferred over libafterimage.
321 - do not prepend a newline to the selection text when the starting line
322 of the selection is not highlighted (Emanuele Giaquinta).
323 - don't swap perl env with real env, save and restore it, just in case
324 we ever get recursive perl invocations. also saves a bit of codespace
325 with gcc.
326 - fix various memory leaks (Emanuele Giaquinta).
327 - fix typo in kIC terminfo capability, debian bug #446444.
328 - document 'thickness' resource.
329 - fix debian bug #504817, to the extent possible.
330 - try to detect byte order at compile time, saves a couple of
331 hundred bytes, if your compiler is smart enough.
332 - add support for previewing the pasted data in confirm-paste
333 (Emanuele Giaquinta).
334 - added "newlines to spaces" option in selection-popup.
335 - actually enabled solaris event ports backend (was disabled by accident).
336 - revert to 38400 baud max., mission accomplished.
337 - no longer create scary "pty_fill: PLEASE REPORT" message, instead,
338 silently drain the input (problem is well understood now).
339 - no longer swallow rob nation's own graphics mode commands.
340
3419.10 Mon Dec 13 17:43:52 CET 2010
342 - the "schmorp=north korea dickey=south korea" release.
343 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: make OSC 20 simpler and more correct
344 (Emanuele Giaquinta).
345 - if options were compiled out, this could lead to the option
346 count to be defined wrongly. This is likely behind the
347 failures with gcc 4.5.
348 - explicitly depend on fontconfig and xrender when xft support
349 is enabled. Although the public Xft api uses types from
350 both, in Xft 2.2.0 these libs are private
351 dependencies only thanks to an idiotic behaviour of
352 pkg-config that was added to workaround cases like this one.
353 Fixes linking when using GNU ld with --as-needed or GNU gold
354 (based on patch by Jan Palus).
355 - fix minor memory leaks in urxvt and urxvtd.
356 - fix regression in urxvtd that prevented options from being correctly
357 set (reported by Michal Vaner).
358 - implement xterm's horribly broken 1005 mouse reporting mode,
359 and an alternative 1015 mode that works in non-utf-8 locales
360 and has fewer limitations.
361 - fix a possible bug where mouse notifications didn't work after
362 startup for the upper left corner.
363 - implement our own pixbuf to pixmap rendering to get rid of
364 dependency on buggy gdk-pixbuf-xlib. Only truecolor visuals
365 are supported (Emanuele Giaquinta).
366 - apply tinting before shading when both operations are requested.
367 Previously they were intermixed when lightening and the result
368 was inaccurate and confusing. Note that now a black tint yields a
369 completely black image, regardless of shading (Emanuele Giaquinta).
370 - avoid spurious redraws of the bg image when bg is transparent or
371 when using 'root' mode (Emanuele Giaquinta).
372 - fix build on XFree86.
373 - dynamically number options according to compiletime requirements.
374 For the extra saved byte. Or so. Yay.
375 - start options at one, not zero. Wastes a bit per terminal. Maybe.
376 saves 50 instruction bytes. Possibly.
377
3789.09 Sat Nov 13 01:39:07 CET 2010
379 - NOTICE: this release updates terminfo/termcap.
380 - the bestest release ever.
381 - it was verified that urxvt handles µ and μ correctly.
382 - add support for blending and blurring with XRender (Emanuele Giaquinta).
383 - add support for using gdk-pixbuf as image backend (Emanuele Giaquinta).
384 - cleanup and minor fixes of the image code (Emanuele Giaquinta).
385 - new perl extension "confirm-paste" (Emanuele Giaquinta).
386 - new on_tt_paste perl hook and tt_paste perl binding (Emanuele Giaquinta).
387 - new on_bell perl hook (Emanuele Giaquinta).
388 - searchable-scrollback no longer ignores the first line
389 (Emanuele Giaquinta).
390 - properly set VSTATUS in termios for *BSD (reported by Ed Schouten).
391 - fix utmpx detection on upcoming FreeBSD 9.
392 - Use COMPOUND_TEXT encoding for WM_NAME/WM_ICON_NAME value when it
393 is not fully convertible to STRING (patch by James Cloos).
394 - fix a buffer overflow that would cause wrong key sequences to
395 be generated for numpad keys (introduced in 9.05).
396 - fix definition of sgr0 to work around limitations in luit.
397 - extend ISO 14755 5.4 mode to also print the font name of the
398 characters other than first one in the selected cell
399 (Emanuele Giaquinta).
400 - new iso14755 option to disable ISO 14755 at runtime
401 (Emanuele Giaquinta).
402 - make sure pagewise scrolling scrolls at least one line
403 (found by Mikachu).
404 - remove deprecated OSC 18 / 19 and make OSC 17 / 19 apply to
405 highlightColor / highlightTextColor (Emanuele Giaquinta).
406 - add highlightTextColor resource to change the foreground colour of
407 highlighted characters (Emanuele Giaquinta).
408 - make highlightColor apply also to selected cells with reverse video
409 but not to non selected cells with reverse video (Emanuele Giaquinta).
410 - remove colorRV resource (it was enabled only with frills off).
411 - fix numlock handling, the most longstanding bug to date (Emanuele Giaquinta).
412 - reduce the number of custom bits to 4, to make room
413 for 256 colours.
414 - add support for 256 colors (Emanuele Giaquinta, Marc Lehmann).
415 - add rxvt-unicode-256color terminfo and use it by default in 256 colors mode.
416 - update rxvt-unicode terminfo to state 7744 colour pairs to cover all
417 88*88 possible pairs.
418 - actually added macosx-clipboard-native, which should have been in
419 the 9.07 release but had been forgotten.
420 - fix hang if DECAWM is not set and there are not enough columns to insert a
421 character (Emanuele Giaquinta).
422 - cub1 ("backspace") will now respect wrapping when past the rightmost column,
423 working around a shortcoming of most tty line discipline's line editing.
424 - add support for grabbing the clipboard selection and extend
425 selection{_clear,_grab,} perl bindings to optionally work
426 on the clipboard selection (based on patch by Dana Jansens).
427 - no longer force CERASE to BACKSPACE - use the system default. affects
428 default value for VERASE only when no compatible setting for
429 backspacekey was given.
430 - use higher than 38400 baudrate setting, if detected.
431 - erase screen would clear to the wrong background when blinking
432 was enabled (which selects high intensity under some circumstances).
433 - scr_kill_char didn't touch the line.
434 - upgrade and port to libev-4.01.
435 - enabled solaris event ports and kqueue backends (if available).
436
4379.07 Wed Dec 30 07:07:18 CET 2009
438 - port to glibc-2.10 changes (strchr etc. returning const char *
439 in C++), based on patches by Milos Jakubicek and Oliver Mader.
440 - the binary search algorithm to find precomposed characters
441 was faulty, skipping some possible combinations (found by
442 Mikachu).
443 - new -letterspace option, patch by Mark H. Wilkinson.
444 - enable --mlock option for urxvt with frills on
445 systems supporting it (patch by Russell Harmon).
446 - urxvt did not compile without frills enabled
447 (analysed by Matthew Rosewarne).
448 - correctly reset the mbstate after an illegal
449 input sequence when handling terminal output (Emanuele Giaquinta).
450 - avoid redrawing wide characters with combining enabled on every
451 refresh (reported by Mikachu).
452 - fix a typo preventing the ISO-646.1991 character set from being
453 recognized (http://achurch.org/patch-pile/).
454 - better warning for x11 font encoding detection failures, also,
455 try to deduce encoding from both font properties and name
456 (adapted from http://achurch.org/patch-pile/).
457 - resizing the window with the scrollbar disabled via the escapes
458 sequence could make the window bigger again (Mikachu).
459 - make sure the alignment for fd passing control messages
460 is correct and work around some NetBSD issues (Taylor R Campbell).
461 - update to libptytty 1.3.
462 - replace macosx-clipboard by a nicer version by Reza Jelveh, and move
463 the old version to macosx-clipboard-native.
464 - document the -uc option (Emanuele Giaquinta).
465 - assertions in libev are now enabled depending on frills.
466 - update AnyEvent implementation to version 5.23 API.
467 - work around arrogant bsd idiocies again: netbsd spills the default
468 namespace with lots of symbols "for gnu/gcc compatibility" even
469 though neither of them does it, and then calls the rest of the world
470 in need of fixing. go figure.
471 - on_keyboard_command is on_user_command (patch by Michael Witten).
472 - setting the selection from perl will now reset the selection screen
473 to the current screen. the screen can be manipulated using
474 the new ->selection_screen method.
475 - implement --enable-assert configure option and get rid of DEBUG_STRICT
476 (based on patch by Emanuele Giaquinta).

481
4829.06 Sat Nov 8 17:47:18 CET 2008
483 - NOTICE: this release updates terminfo/termcap.
484 - updates libev to 3.48.
485 - the aterm code now frees the as visual and image manager objects
486 when a window was closed.
487 - do not (wrongly) adjust the virtual line length inside
488 scr_insdel_chars/ERASE (Miroslav Lichvar).
489 - fix an issue where wide tab characters caused character shifts
490 when part of them was deleted (tracked down by Miroslav Lichvar).
491 - artificially enlargen the previous character at the end of a line
492 when trying to output a character that doesn't fit. looks ugly, but
493 makes copy&paste work.
494 - remove bogus "setuid/setgid security issues" from rxvt.1.pod, they
495 no longer apply.
496 - the urgency hint is now cleared on both focus in and focus out.
497 - cache urgency hint locally to avoid server rtt on every focus change.
498 - perl 5.10 needs PERL_SYS_INIT3 on hppa.
499 - ignore byte-order marks and do not treat them like combining characters.
500 - fix build issue when CURSOR_BLINK is not defined (Emanuele Giaquinta).
501 - do some µ-optimisations to the character fast path.
502 - use a less cunning, but more robust algorithm to avoid one terminal
503 monopolising the whole process by outputting a lot of text.
504 - try to work around linux first breaking sched_yield and now breaking
505 the only known workaround.
506 - new option -icon to set _NET_WM_ICON (based on patch by Frank Schmitt).
507 - initialise the as visual only on demand, instead of unconditionally,
508 to save memory in the common case of not using visual gimmicks.
509 - try to work around bugs in a few wm's that erroneously resize
510 client windows on hint property updates by temporarily
511 disabling size hints.
512 - implement the DECSTR soft reset sequence and use it for tput init,
513 and make hard RIS and DECSTR both reset more private modes, such
514 as mouse reporting.
515 - redundantly clear mouse reporting and a few other states in
516 tput init/tput reset, for older urxvts.
517 - partial/full clear screens did cause flickering and possibly pixel
518 droppings when urxvt viewed the scrollback buffer.
519 - use current rendition style in DCH sequence.
520 - the 132/80 mode switch no longer forces a screen reset.
521 - add an osc sequence to change the border colour (Emanuele Giaquinta).
522 - new perl extension "overlay-osc", for status displays and the like.
523 - fix some minor cursor drawing issues with overlays by allowing
524 overlays to modify screen flags (to disable the cursor themselves).
525 - work around programs not restoring rstyle before rmcup
526 (analysed by Miroslav Lichvar).
527
5289.05 Sun Jun 15 20:09:20 CEST 2008
529 - new option --cd/chdir to set the starting working directory.
530 - tabbed extension now starts in the "correct" working directory.

532 header file for it (report by Tuncer Ayaz).
533 - upgrade libev, fixing a bug in the select backend.
534 with more than 31 file descriptors on non-linux 64 bit systems.
535 - correctly reset the multibyte state to the initial one
536 after EILSEQ (patch by Neil Booth). This fixes the
537 issue of rxvt-unicode not properly displaying text after an illegal
538 sequence on NetBSD and probably other systems.
539 - more intelligent property handling with -pe tabbed, works around
540 broken window managers (kwm et al.), saves bandwidth and should
541 help working window managers as well.
542 - made tabs moveable (based on a patch by Petr Machata).
543 - implement ESC [ 3 K as a more rational alternative to ESC [ 0 K.
544 - support relative paths for RXVT_SOCKET in urxvtd.
545 - the tabbed extension now blindly copies over all (rxvt-) resources
546 from the toplevel window to the children.
547 - better diagnostic on 0x0 window geometries.
548 - update AnyEvent API to version 3.4 and above.
549 - document the default value of :0 for DISPLAY.
550 - rename perl method XChangeWindowProperty to XChangeProperty.
551
5529.02 Tue Jan 29 11:58:36 CET 2008
553 - the "exg makes everybody happy" release.
554 - fix build with !xft.
555 - always compile in plain style scrollbar (simplifies code and looks great).
556
5579.01 Sat Jan 26 20:49:27 CET 2008
558 - be more aggressive about handling X events, this seems to be required
559 with newer xlibs (should fix the "screen stays black until event is
560 received" problem, again :)
561 - add buffered resource to control xft double-buffering.
562
5639.0 Fri Jan 25 19:34:04 CET 2008
564 - fix a crash bug where urxvtd would crash when urxvtc was called
565 with wrong arguments (I wish debian maintainers in general would
566 report bugs and their proposed fixes to the original package maintainers
567 instead of sitting on them for good measure to see if anybody notices).
568 - drawing xft compose characters was causing garbage to be drawn.
569 - correctly clear xft character background in all cases.
570 - implement bracketed paste mode (xterm private mode 2004).
571 - improve documentation on alpha channel handling, make urxvt
572 work better on servers lacking the RENDER extension when alpha
573 channels or background images are used.
574 - check for refresh after initialising to avoid staying blank
575 till the first event arrives. or so.
576 - the FORCE_UNBUFFERED_XFT feature macro works again.
577 - continuously update transparency while moving/resizing now.
578 - OSC 39/49 are deprecated and aliased to OSC 10/11.
579 - cub1 now acts as advertised (and ignores the "wrapped" state).
580 - the 132/80 mode switch now forces a height of 24, too, and
581 resets the terminal.
582 - scrollbar code cleanups.
583 - stopping children is no longer confused with children exiting.
584 - removed (undocumented) #aarrggbb format.
585 - updated to libev 3.0.
586
5878.9 Mon Dec 24 07:51:40 CET 2007
588 - fix the issue where urxvtd would not immediately close a window
589 when the command exited but only on the next X event.
590 - changed terminfo file not to use application keypad mode.
591 - fix the issue where making a selection in one urxvtd window
592 would not clear it visually in another.
593 - fix an issue of urxvt not getting background pixmap updates
594 and flickering after bg pixmap changes (reported by Mikachu).
595 - fix redraw bug in xterm scrollbar with -sr (reported by Mikachu).
596 - correctly provide dependencies for libev (µikachu).
597 - minor code reorganisations and cleanups.
598 - be more robust in case the urxvt-popup extension cannot be loaded.
599
6008.8 Sat Dec 15 19:40:39 CET 2007
601 - option -C was aliased to all unsupported options, activating
602 options that shouldn't be compiled in, leading to interesting
603 effects.
604 - updated libev, working around a bug in linux 2.4, curing the
605 symptom of urxvt not closing its window on shell exit. also
606 fixes a problem with urxvt not refreshing.
607 - the text blink callback was called even when no blinking
608 text was visible.
609 - pre-8.4 slipwheeling behaviour has been reinstated, with
610 some minor improvements.
611 - streamlined x events processing to only flush once per
612 display and not once per terminal window.
613 - quite a bit of minor code cleanups and codesize optimisations.
614
6158.7 Sun Nov 25 10:23:49 CET 2007
616 - update libev with an important bugfix that would cause crashes
617 when closing windows (when using rxvtd, and update is recommended).
618 - do not compile in the block builtin graphics with --disable-frills.
619
6208.6 Fri Nov 23 14:10:57 CET 2007
621 - upgrade libev to disable kqueue on anything but netbsd as it
622 seems to be broken everywhere else w.r.t. ptys.
623 - allow for spurious event notifications, as at least epoll and
624 especially solaris ports like to lie about them (symptoms:
625 urxvt "hangs" until there is some x11 related activity).
626 - -keysym command line options are now subjected to xlib parsing.
627 - add 'xrm' option analogous to Xt one.
628
6298.5a Wed Nov 21 10:16:33 CET 2007
630 - make it compile with --disable-transparency.
631
6328.5 Wed Nov 21 05:19:20 CET 2007
633 - expect major portability issues in this release: please test and report.
634 - converted from the veritable io manager event loop to
635 the high performance libev (http://software.schmorp.de/pkg/libev).
636 - minor tuning to the perl selection (include single words and more quoting chars).
637 - fix memory leak in pixmap code.
638 - fix a serious bug while setting the XIM destroy callback
639 on (typical) 64 bit systems.
640 - automove-background functionality re-implemented internally using :root op in pixmap
641 geometry string. For example: rxvt -pixmap "image.jpg;:root"
642 - do not link rxvtc against every lib on the planet anymore.
643 - parallel builds should work once more.
644
6458.4 Sat Oct 27 14:02:13 CEST 2007
646 - overhaul of the transparency/pixmap code (sasha).
647 - fix possible race between visual bell and poweron.
648 (reported by Martin von Gagern, gentoo?).
649 - urxvt -e no longer crashes the child.
650 - fixed some minor memleaks on incorrect usage or
651 missing DISPLAY.
652 - implement xterm 1002/1003 mouse tracking modes (exg).
653 - source code organisational cleanups (exg).
654 - updated io_manager.
655
6568.3 Wed Aug 1 20:21:31 CEST 2007
657 - new option: skipScroll/-ss, enabled by default.
658 - go with the times and expect x11 library files in /usr/lib, not
659 /usr/X11R6/lib.
660 - initial transparency improvement/afterimage support
661 patch by Sasha Vasko.
662 - add urgentOnBell resource to set the urgency hint
663 (patch by Philip Paeps).
664 - do not process focus events caused by grabs
665 (patch by Mikachu).
666 - add iso14755_52 resource to disable iso14755 5.2 (exg).
667 - add binding for backspace in iso14755 5.1 to remove the last
668 digit (exg).
669 - better option handling, support more than 30 options (exg).
670 - nuke reconf script, serves no purpose anymore.
671 - fixed and documented matcher/on_user_command processing in matcher
672 extension (tpope).
673 - compile out of the box on Solaris 10 (exg).
674 - fix MappingNotify events (reported by Stephan Walter).
675 - zero-initialise mwmhints, this seems to solve all sorts of minor
676 problems.
677
6788.2 Sat Feb 17 21:35:28 CET 2007
679 - fix make depend in src/, reported by exg.
680 - fixed typo in urxvt::GET_CUSTOM, causing the result to be wrong.
681 (patch by Sergey Vlasov).
682 - unbundled iom perl interface somewhat.
683 - scrollbar-xterm now uses the selected scrollColor instead of fg
684 (found by Aiviru).
685 - disabled linux kernel bug workaround again: disabling it gives
686 a 50% speed hit on affected machines, while enabling it gives
687 a similar speed hit to screen, which is likely the more common
688 case to work around for :/
689 - urxvt::rend2mask perl function, and utilization of it by matcher
690 (patch by Moshe Kamensky).
691 - use perl:matcher on a keysym to open most recently displayed URL.
692 - with matcher, when multiple patterns match, last wins, not first.
693 - fix make and make install with srcdir != builddir (exg).
694 - updated bundled libptytty to fix a bug where the tty would be kept
695 open (see the libptytty ChangeLog for details).
696 - delay setting the IUTF8 flag to after the tty settings have been
697 set so its value does not get lost (reported and analysed by Andrei
698 Paskevich).
699 - rip out support for obsolete sgtty.h interface.
700 - rip out support for non-POSIX termios variants.
701 - update libptytty.
702 - update iom.C, make it call ptytty::sanitise_stdfd on init.
703 - when !XFT, change rounding of colours to use a less correct formula to
704 meet user expectancies (#aaa becomes #a000a000a000 not #9f9f9f9f9f9f).
705 - change the starting offset of the pixmap set with backgroundPixmap
706 from (50,50) to (0,0) (exg).
707 - fix a typo in button_release, now meta-button2 request the value of
708 the Clipboard selection as it should (patch by Serge Koksharov).
709 - fix a bug in drawing a cell with a nonspacing char when using an xft
710 font with inheritPixmap and tintColor (exg).
711
7128.1 Thu Dec 7 22:27:25 CET 2006
713 - ケリスマスプレゼント - zomg!!1, it's too early!!!
714 - fix the assumption that chars < 256 are single-width. Now
715 only assume this for codepoints 32 to 126 (reported by Dai.H.).
716 - $term->strwidth returned wide chars as width 1, because some jerk
717 confused min and max. Fixing this also fixes xim-onthespot.
718 Reported by Takano Akio.
719 - secondaryScroll is now enabled by default (as per the manpage),
720 reported by exg.
721 - correct the description of [percent]color rgba format in the manpage.
722 - incorporated macosx-clipboard extension by Samuel Ljungkvist.
723 - ignore (some) useless focus events (reported by mmc).
724 - updated compose table to unicode 5.0.0.
725
7268.0 Thu Nov 2 18:35:19 CET 2006
727 - combining characters cleared the area instead of creating an overlay,
728 thus losing the ability to draw combining characters properly in most
729 circumstances (reported by exg).
730 - specified fonts were incorrectly morphed to bold/italic according to the
731 basefont, even if explicitly specified (tracked down by tpope).
732 - fixed urxvt::strwidth to calculate width in the same way as screen.C.
733 - fix a crash caused by passing negative widths to overlay functions.
734 - added 'matcher' extension by tpope, replacing the mark-urls extension.
735 - improve url regex to match anything www.* (tpope).
736 - fixed bug with outline cursor color being wrong after xft fonts.
737 - update to libptytty-1.0.
738 - give proper diagnostic when RXVT_SOCKET is too long instead of
739 corrupting the stack (patch by exg).
740 - display current terminal locale in option menu.
741 - urxvtd no longer crashes when the client sends an inaccessible
742 working directory (reported by Roland Baer, possibly fixes gentoo
743 bug #143985).
744 - fixed many minor issues reported by Roland Baer.
745 - Leonid Khramov spotted a minor glitch in rxvtfont.C that
746 should not have any consequences, but was buggy nonetheless.
747 - manpage fix by exg.
748
7497.9 Mon Aug 7 18:16:07 CEST 2006
750 - fix the crashing bug people encountered with 7.8 + urxvtd + perl
751 + transparency. Ought to fix debian bug #380348.
752 - fix urxvtc.1.pod: it actually claimed -pty-fd would not work. But
753 it does! :->
754 - rxvt_fatal() in case the locale string is too long for our static buffer.
755 - fixed many, many, typos in the manpages (patch supplied by ves).
756
7577.8 Mon Jul 17 21:00:46 CEST 2006
758 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: this version will always read ~/.Xdefaults,
759 earlier versions only read it if display-resources (usually from
760 .Xresources) are not set. This avoids the #1 FAQ ("why isn't my
761 resource used") and seems to be logical behaviour, too. .Xdefaults
762 resources have a lower priority than display-specific resources.
763 - add "kuake" perl extension that does a similar thing to the kuake
764 terminal emulator (see man urxvtperl).
765 - use less "correct" color scaling that is compatible with libX11 and
766 Xft (avoids off-by-one colors resulting in striped backgrounds).
767 - the "depth" resource is now respected.
768 - preset the searchable-scrollback pattern with "(?i)" to default search
769 to case-insensitivity. Will automatically be cleared when typing an
770 uppercase character.
771 - add FORCE_UNBUFFERED_XFT define to features.h.
772 - re-enabled highlightcolor support with --enable-frills, based on
773 a patch by Martin Stubenschrott.
774 - double-buffered xft drawing did suffer from pixel offset issues
775 when pixmap transparency was enabled.
776 - strategically add # to the url-match regexes, as we really want to
777 match common URIs not common URLs. Reported by Aaron Griffin.
778 - moved on_osc_seq to on_osc_seq_perl and added a more
779 generic osc_seq.
780 - fix a bug causing double callback invocations when perl hooks
781 were invoked recursively.
782 - the automove-background extension now properly works when the
783 pixmap gets reset with an osc sequence (sqweek).
784 - selection-pastebin did not work properly with non-latin1-characters.
785 - apply colorUL only when the text colour is the default fg
786 (patch by Wu Fengguang).
787 - removed rxvtlib.h from the tarball, it had no reason to be there
788 (spotted by Decklin Foster).
789 - fix compiling with TRANSPARENT but !XPM_BACKGROUND, as reported
790 by omatunto_.
791 - slap in a using namespace std, might help on platforms that don't
792 follow C++ closely enough.
793 - fix mailto url regex, spotted within milliseconds by Jost Krieger.
794 - applied fade_color_update_func.patch by WU Fengguang.
795 - fix a bug where (due to an optimisation in av_delete), hiding the
796 bottom-most overlay would hide two overlays.
797
7987.7 Tue Feb 21 12:32:49 CET 2006
799 - use double-buffered drawing (xft fonts only). On many driver/hardware
800 combination this actually increases xft drawing speed, at the expense
801 of more network bandwidth and slight nausea on the side of the author.
802 - readline perl extension now requires shift-click instead of a normal
803 click, and eats the click.
804 - tabbed perl extension now supports -e.
805 - disabled graphics-exposures on the main drawing GC, report any
806 refresh bugs please.
807 - improve property handling for -pe tabbed: avoid unnecessary property
808 changes (for kde's benefit) at the expense of extra round-trips,
809 improve size hint setting.
810 - modified XIM according to a patch sent by Takano Akio that sets
811 the preedit rectangle for OverTheSpot, which helps some input methods
812 to correctly position their preedit window.
813 - un-optimise the line clearing on newly scrolled-in lines a bit: the
814 former reasoning was that any fg colour on default bg looks the same
815 in empty spaces, but that's not true when reversing (e.g. selection),
816 so also check for matching fg colours. This fixes the problem where
817 selecting newly scrolled-in lines would exhibit wrong colours.
818 - fix a bug in the perl interface causing focus in events to generate
819 focus out perl events, causing bad focus effects with -pe tabbed.
820 - fix a race resulting in a crash on exiting.
821 - fix a with --disable-xft that caused xfreecolors to be called on
822 colors never allocated, resulting in aborts (reported by Paco-Paco).
823 - resources on non-initial screens weren't refetched correctly
824 (reported by Paco-Paco).
825 - fix a bug in xcopyarea pass and _disable_ it, as it seems not to be
826 working in either rxvt-unicode nor in the original rxvt.
827 - removed undocumented -exec alias for the -e option.
828
8297.6 Fri Feb 10 08:52:36 CET 2006
830 - changed interpretation of [alpha] colour prefix.
831 - +option now really sets the option to default, instead of using the
832 resource value.
833 - options that require an argument now really _require_ an argument.
834 - the tabbed extension now forwards focus and key events to the
835 relevant tab window.
836 - tab colours are now configurable and have sensible defaults
837 (initial patch by hednod).
838 - option menu is extendable, readline, selection and
839 selection-autotransform can now be disabled/enabled at runtime.
840 - forcing a configure event to tabbed subwindows with -pe tabbed, for
841 the benefit of automove-background.
842 - the automove-background extension added a wrong constant offset.
843 - force refresh of XA_RESOURCE_STRING on virtual reconnect.
844 - return exit status 2 in urxvtc when urxvtd couldn't be contacted.
845 - the linux yield hack is back, now using usleep, and enabled only on
846 __linux__.
847 - further round trip eliminations in the !XFT case by remembering
848 the colour components.
849 - plain scrollbar works better with -sr.
850 - fixed half-shadow scrollbar look.
851 - more colour rtt optimisations.
852 - properly(?) free colours on window close.
853 - reorganised the FAQ into multiple sections.
854 - add ISO646.1991-IRV to the list of supported codesets.
855 - minor libptytty update.
856
8577.5 Tue Jan 31 15:15:43 CET 2006
858 - further improvements to the careful mode detection, and font width
859 detection:
860 - fully double-wide fonts will now be correctly treated,
861 - overlap detection was improved.
862 - detect totally broken fonts (usually synthesized by xft).
863 - careful mode forced refresh sometimes clashed with blinking,
864 causing unnecessary screen redraws.
865 - better handling of XFT combining characters.
866 - enable antialiasing for some replacement fonts, as they
867 might get used for other encodings which really need it, later.
868 - remove spacing=100 from all default fonts, as this creates totally
869 weird spacing (5 times normal) with xft.
870 - removed iso10646 fallback, as xorgs iso10646 encoded fonts are mostly
871 broken.
872 - removed gnu unifont fallback, all combining characters are broken.
873 - replace named colours by xorg's rgb.txt equivalents, to
874 reduce round trip time on startup, and short-cut allocation
875 of rgb:rr/gg/bb for xft.
876 - short-cut allocation of rgb values in the xlib case
877 (patch by Paco-Paco).
878 - overhauled color management: smaller codesize, alpha support.
879 - support "rgba:rrrr/gggg/bbbb/aaaa" color specifications and
880 an "[alpha]" prefix.
881 - try to work around Xft and Xrender forcing everything to be 100%
882 transparent. Long Live Xft!
883 - do not include X11/Intrinsic.h anymore, directly use
884 Xlib/Xutil/Xresource directly.
885 - try to find a nearest matching color when color allocation fails
886 on a pseudocolor screen.
887 - SYNCCVS: compared to rxvt-cvs 2006-01-28, no relevant changes.
888 - fix version report (DA) (which was unfortunately broken).
889 - changed version number report again, now to emulate xterm closer.
890 - added the OSC sequence 702 to detect the urxvt version number.
891 - small configure updates.
892 - further RTT optimisations.
893 - backported clean-up patches for makefiles and documentation from
894 the debian package.

907 (could lead to global grabs never being cleared).
908 - experimental OnTheSpot editing support (-pe xim-onthespot).
909 - moved Shift-Button2 paste combination to Meta-Button2.
910 - the cutchars resource will now be respected and used by the
911 selection extension.
912 - added the "remote-clipboard" extension which just runs external
913 commands to fetch and store the selection data.
914 - added -depth switch that tries to get a different visual depth
915 than the default (replaces the old PREFER_24_BIT logic).
916 - removed (unused) arabic presentation form composing sequences.
917 - be more strict when deciding that a core font glyph is too wide and
918 needs the careful rendering mode.
919 - allow more leeway for italic fonts when deciding that a character is
920 too wide and needs careful mode.
921 - redraw even more characters around characters using careful mode.
922 - made selection-pastebin fully asynchronous.
923 - reduced number of server turnarounds at startup by allocating
924 atoms only once per display.
925 - renamed on_keyboard_command to on_user_command.
926 - changed version sos (ESC [ > c) response to be more compatible with
927 xterm.

9297.2 Sun Jan 22 21:58:16 CET 2006
930 - bugfix: urxvt (not urxvtd) did not correctly handle multiple
931 environments necessary, which resulted in segfaults within
932 getenv (reproducible: urxvt -fn 9x15, open a menu once,
933 ctrl-shift-672c).
934 - bugfix: the selection speedup in in 7.1 unfortunately caused
935 non-ascii characters to enlarge/move the selection.
936 - bugfix: resizing sometimes leaked lines from the secondary to
937 the primary screen.
938 - bugfix: reducing window size while large amounts of text were output
939 could lead to an assertion failure.
940 - added "tabbed" extension that provides a crude tabbed terminal.
941 - added "readline" extension that allows cursor positioning
942 via mouse clicks.

944 with shift - mouse button 2.
945 - fixed the automove-background extension to ignore coordinates
946 in non-synthetic events.
947 - created a separate libpty for portable and secure
948 pty/tty/utmp/wtmp/lastlog handling, and include it in rxvt-unicode.
949 - the non-terminfo visual bell now works asynchronously, so
950 continuous ASCI BELs in one terminal do no longer monopolise the
951 whole urxvt[d] process.
952 - support some *BSD makes (for the time being, gnu make is a safe bet).
953 - work around bugs in FreeBSD's gcc.
