199.0 15TODO: option popup hook, make some exts switchable
16
17 - changed interpretation of [alpha] colour prefix.
18 - +option now really sets the option to default, instead of using the
19 resource value.
20 - options that require an argument now really _require_ an argument.
21 - the tabbed extension now forwards focus and keys events to th
22 relevant tab window.
23 - tab colours are now configurable and have sensible defaults
24 (initial patch by hednod).
25 - forcing a configure event to tabbed subwindows with -pe tabbed, for
26 the benefit of automove-background.
27 - the automove-background extension added a wrong constant offset.
28 - force refresh of XA_RESOURCE_STRING on virtual reconnect.
29 - return exit status 2 in urxvtc when urxvtd couldn't be contacted.
30 - the linux yield hack is back, now using usleep, and enabled only on
31 __linux__.
32 - further round trip eliminations in the !XFT case by remembering
33 the colour components.
34 - plain scrollbar works better with -sr.
35 - fixed half-shadow scrollbar look.
36 - more colour rtt optimisations.
37 - properly(?) free colours on window close.
38 - reorganised the FAQ into multiple sections.
39 - add ISO646.1991-IRV to the list of supported codesets.

417.5 Tue Jan 31 15:15:43 CET 2006
42 - further improvements to the careful mode detection, and font width
43 detection:
44 - fully double-wide fonts will now be correctly treated,
45 - overlap detection was improved.
46 - detect totally broken fonts (usually synthesized by xft).
47 - careful mode forced refresh sometimes clashed with blinking,
48 causing unnecessary screen redraws.
49 - better handling of XFT combining characters.
50 - enable antialiasing for some replacement fonts, as they
51 might get used for other encodings which really need it, later.
52 - remove spacing=100 from all default fonts, as this creates totally
53 weird spacing (5 times normal) with xft.
54 - removed iso10646 fallback, as xorgs iso10646 encoded fonts are mostly
55 broken.
56 - removed gnu unifont fallback, all combining characters are broken.
57 - replace named colours by xorg's rgb.txt equivalents, to
58 reduce round trip time on startup, and short-cut allocation
59 of rgb:rr/gg/bb for xft.
60 - short-cut allocation of rgb values in the xlib case
61 (patch by Paco-Paco).
62 - overhauled color management: smaller codesize, alpha support.
63 - support "rgba:rrrr/gggg/bbbb/aaaa" color specifications and
64 an "[alpha]" prefix.
65 - try to work around Xft and Xrender forcing everything to be 100%
66 transparent. Long Live Xft!
67 - do not include X11/Intrinsic.h anymore, directly use
68 Xlib/Xutil/Xresource directly.
69 - try to find a nearest matching color when color allocation fails
70 on a pseudocolor screen.
71 - SYNCCVS: compared to rxvt-cvs 2006-01-28, no relevant changes.
72 - fix version report (DA) (which was unfortunately broken).
73 - changed version number report again, now to emulate xterm closer.
74 - added the OSC sequence 702 to detect the urxvt version number.
75 - small configure updates.
76 - further RTT optimisations.
77
787.4 Sat Jan 28 15:26:27 CET 2006
79 - screen background wasn't always erased properly when scrolling,
80 - re-enabled clearing optimisation disabled in 7.4pre.
81 - small configure updates for libptytty.
82 - fixed version options: line output.
83 - removed stoopid debugging message left in the code.
84
857.3 Wed Jan 25 22:47:35 CET 2006
86 - don't let iso14755 or mouse reporting get into the way of perl
87 (could lead to global grabs never being cleared).
88 - experimental OnTheSpot editing support (-pe xim-onthespot).
89 - moved Shift-Button2 paste combination to Meta-Button2.
90 - the cutchars resource will now be respected and used by the
91 selection extension.
92 - added the "remote-clipboard" extension which just runs external
93 commands to fetch and store the selection data.
94 - added -depth switch that tries to get a different visual depth
95 than the default (replaces the old PREFER_24_BIT logic).
96 - removed (unused) arabic presentation form composing sequences.
97 - be more strict when deciding that a core font glyph is too wide and
98 needs the careful rendering mode.
99 - allow more leeway for italic fonts when deciding that a character is
100 too wide and needs careful mode.
101 - redraw even more characters around characters using careful mode.
102 - made selection-pastebin fully asynchronous.
103 - reduced number of server turnarounds at startup by allocating
104 atoms only once per display.
105 - renamed on_keyboard_command to on_user_command.
106 - changed version sos (ESC [ > c) response to be more compatible with
107 xterm.
108
1097.2 Sun Jan 22 21:58:16 CET 2006
110 - bugfix: urxvt (not urxvtd) did not correctly handle multiple
111 environments necessary, which resulted in segfaults within
112 getenv (reproducable: urxvt -fn 9x15, open a menu once,
113 ctrl-shift-672c).
114 - bugfix: the selection speedup in in 7.1 unfortunately caused
115 non-ascii characters to enlarge/move the selection.
116 - bugfix: resizing sometimes leaked lines from the secondary to
117 the primary screen.
118 - bugfix: reducing window size while large amounts of text were output
119 could lead to an assertion failure.
120 - added "tabbed" extension that provides a crude tabbed terminal.
121 - added "readline" extension that allows cursor positioning
122 via mouse clicks.
123 - now it is possible to insert the value of the CLIPBOARD selection
124 with shift - mouse button 2.
125 - fixed the automove-background extension to ignore coordinates
126 in non-synthetic events.
127 - created a separate libpty for portable and secure
128 pty/tty/utmp/wtmp/lastlog handling, and include it in rxvt-unicode.
129 - the non-terminfo visual bell now works asynchronously, so
130 continuous ASCI BELs in one terminal do no longer monopolise the
131 whole urxvt[d] process.
132 - support some *BSD makes (for the time being, gnu make is a safe bet).
133 - work around bugs in FreeBSD's gcc.
134 - implemented some *BSD fixes in configure.
135 - removed support for obsolete offix dnd protocol.
