288.
29 - new option: skipScroll/-ss, enabled by default.
30 - go with the times and expect x11 library files in /usr/lib, not
31 /usr/X11R6/lib.
32 - initial transparency improvement/afterstep support
33 patch by Sasha Vasko.
34 - add urgentOnBell resource to set the urgency hint
35 (patch by Philip Paeps).
36 - do not process focus events caused by grabs
37 (patch by Mikachu).
38 - add iso14755_52 resource to disable iso14755 5.2 (exg).
39 - add binding for backspace in iso14755 5.1 to remove the last
40 digit (exg).
41 - better option handling, support more than 30 options (exg).
42 - nuke reconf script, serves no purpose anymore.
43 - fixed and documented matcher/on_user_command processing in matcher
44 extension (tpope).
45 - compile out of the box on Solaris 10 (exg).

47
488.2 Sat Feb 17 21:35:28 CET 2007
49 - fix make depend in src/, reported by exg.
50 - fixed typo in urxvt::GET_CUSTOM, causing the result to be wrong.
51 (patch by Sergey Vlasov).
52 - unbundled iom perl interface somewhat.
53 - scrollbar-xterm now uses the selected scrollColor instead of fg
54 (found by Aiviru).
55 - disabled linux kernel bug workaround again: disabling it gives
56 a 50% speed hit on affected machines, while enabling it gives
57 a similar speed hit to screen, which is likely the more common
58 case to work around for :/
59 - urxvt::rend2mask perl function, and utilization of it by matcher
60 (patch by Moshe Kamensky).
61 - use perl:matcher on a keysym to open most recently displayed URL.
62 - with matcher, when multiple patterns match, last wins, not first.
63 - fix make and make install with srcdir != builddir (exg).
64 - updated bundled libptytty to fix a bug where the tty would be kept
65 open (see the libptytty ChangeLog for details).
66 - delay setting the IUTF8 flag to after the tty settings have been
67 set so its value does not get lost (reported and analysed by Andrei
68 Paskevich).
69 - rip out support for obsolete sgtty.h interface.
70 - rip out support for non-POSIX termios variants.
71 - update libptytty.
72 - update iom.C, make it call ptytty::sanitise_stdfd on init.
73 - when !XFT, change rounding of colours to use a less correct formula to
74 meet user expectancies (#aaa becomes #a000a000a000 not #9f9f9f9f9f9f).
75 - change the starting offset of the pixmap set with backgroundPixmap
76 from (50,50) to (0,0) (exg).
77 - fix a typo in button_release, now meta-button2 request the value of
78 the Clipboard selection as it should (patch by Serge Koksharov).
79 - fix a bug in drawing a cell with a nonspacing char when using an xft
80 font with inheritPixmap and tintColor (exg).
81
828.1 Thu Dec 7 22:27:25 CET 2006
83 - ケリスマスプレゼント - zomg!!1, it's too early!!!
84 - fix the assumption that chars < 256 are single-width. Now
85 only assume this for codepoints 32 to 126 (reported by Dai.H.).
86 - $term->strwidth returned wide chars as width 1, because some jerk
87 confused min and max. Fixing this also fixes xim-onthespot.
88 Reported by Takano Akio.
89 - secondaryScroll is now enabled by default (as per the manpage),
90 reported by exg.
91 - correct the description of [percent]color rgba format in the manpage.
92 - incorporated macosx-clipboard extension by Samuel Ljungkvist.
93 - ignore (some) useless focus events (reported by mmc).
94 - updated compose table to unicode 5.0.0.
95
968.0 Thu Nov 2 18:35:19 CET 2006
97 - combining characters cleared the area instead of creating an overlay,
98 thus losing the ability to draw combining characters properly in most
99 circumstances (reported by exg).
100 - specified fonts were incorrectly morphed to bold/italic according to the
101 basefont, even if explicitly specified (tracked down by tpope).
102 - fixed urxvt::strwidth to calculate width in the same way as screen.C.
103 - fix a crash caused by passing negative widths to overlay functions.
104 - added 'matcher' extension by tpope, replacing the mark-urls extension.
105 - improve url regex to match anything www.* (tpope).
106 - fixed bug with outline cursor color being wrong after xft fonts.
107 - update to libptytty-1.0.
108 - give proper diagnostic when RXVT_SOCKET is too long instead of
109 corrupting the stack (patch by exg).
110 - display current terminal locale in option menu.
111 - urxvtd no longer crashes when the client sends an inaccessible
112 working directory (reported by Roland Baer, possibly fixes gentoo
113 bug #143985).
114 - fixed many minor issues reported by Roland Baer.
115 - Leonid Khramov spotted a minor glitch in rxvtfont.C that
116 should not have any consequences, but was buggy nonetheless.
117 - manpage fix by exg.
118
1197.9 Mon Aug 7 18:16:07 CEST 2006
120 - fix the crashing bug people encountered with 7.8 + urxvtd + perl
121 + transparency. Ought to fix debian bug #380348.
122 - fix urxvtc.1.pod: it actually claimed -pty-fd would not work. But
123 it does! :->
124 - rxvt_fatal() in case the locale string is too long for our static buffer.
125 - fixed many, many, typos in the manpages (patch supplied by ves).
126
1277.8 Mon Jul 17 21:00:46 CEST 2006
128 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: this version will always read ~/.Xdefaults,
129 earlier versions only read it if display-resources (usually from
130 .Xresources) are not set. This avoids the #1 FAQ ("why isn't my
131 resource used") and seems to be logical behaviour, too. .Xdefaults
132 resources have a lower priority than display-specific resources.
133 - add "kuake" perl extension that does a similar thing to the kuake
134 terminal emulator (see man urxtvperl).
135 - use less "correct" color scaling that is compatible with libX11 and
136 Xft (avoids off-by-one colors resulting in striped backgrounds).
137 - the "depth" resource is now respected.
138 - preset the searchable-scrollback pattern with "(?i)" to default search
139 to case-insensitivity. Will automatically be cleared when typing an
140 uppercase character.
141 - add FORCE_UNBUFFERED_XFT define to features.h.
142 - re-enabled highlightcolor support with --enable-frills, based on
143 a patch by Martin Stubenschrott.
144 - double-buffered xft drawing did suffer from pixel offset issues
145 when pixmap transparency was enabled.
146 - strategically add # to the url-match regexes, as we really want to
147 match common URIs not common URLs. Reported by Aaron Griffin.
148 - moved on_osc_seq to on_osc_seq_perl and added a more
149 generic osc_seq.
150 - fix a bug causing double callback invocations when perl hooks
151 were invoked recursively.
152 - the automove-background extension now properly works when the
153 pixmap gets reset with an osc sequence (sqweek).
154 - selection-pastebin did not work properly with non-latin1-characters.
155 - apply colorUL only when the text colour is the default fg
156 (patch by Wu Fengguang).
157 - removed rxvtlib.h from the tarball, it had no reason to be there
158 (spotted by Decklin Foster).
159 - fix compiling with TRANSPARENT but !XPM_BACKGROUND, as reported
160 by omatunto_.
161 - slap in a using namespace std, might help on platforms that don't
162 follow C++ closely enough.
163 - fix mailto url regex, spotted within milliseconds by Jost Krieger.
164 - applied fade_color_update_func.patch by WU Fengguang.
165 - fix a bug where (due to an optimisation in av_delete), hiding the
166 bottom-most overlay would hide two overlays.
167
1687.7 Tue Feb 21 12:32:49 CET 2006
169 - use double-buffered drawing (xft fonts only). On many driver/hardware
170 combination this actually increases xft drawing speed, at the expense
171 of more network bandwidth and slight nausea on the side of the author.
172 - readline perl extension now requires shift-click instead of a normal
173 click, and eats the click.
174 - tabbed perl extension now supports -e.
175 - disabled graphics-exposures on the main drawing GC, report any
176 refresh bugs please.
177 - improve property handling for -pe tabbed: avoid unnecessary property
178 changes (for kde's benefit) at the expense of extra round-trips,
179 improve size hint setting.
180 - modified XIM according to a patch sent by Takano Akio that sets
181 the preedit rectangle for OverTheSpot, which helps some input methods
182 to correctly position their preedit window.
183 - un-optimise the line clearing on newly scrolled-in lines a bit: the
184 former reasoning was that any fg colour on default bg looks the same
185 in empty spaces, but thats not true when reversing (e.g. selection),
186 so also check for matching fg colours. This fixes the problem where
187 selecting newly scrolled-in lines would exhibit wrong colours.
188 - fix a bug in the perl interface causing focus in events to generate
189 focus out perl events, causing bad focus effects with -pe tabbed.
190 - fix a race resulting in a crash on exiting.
191 - fix a with --disable-xft that caused xfreecolors to be called on
192 colors never allocated, resulting in aborts (reported by Paco-Paco).
193 - resources on non-initial screens weren't refetched correctly
194 (reported by Paco-Paco).
195 - fix a bug in xcopyarea pass and _disable_ it, as it seems not to be
196 working in either rxvt-unicode nor in the original rxvt.
197 - removed undocumented -exec alias for the -e option.
198
1997.6 Fri Feb 10 08:52:36 CET 2006
200 - changed interpretation of [alpha] colour prefix.
201 - +option now really sets the option to default, instead of using the
202 resource value.
203 - options that require an argument now really _require_ an argument.
204 - the tabbed extension now forwards focus and keys events to th
205 relevant tab window.
206 - tab colours are now configurable and have sensible defaults
207 (initial patch by hednod).
208 - option menu is extendable, readline, selection and
209 selection-autotransform can now be disabled/enabled at runtime.
210 - forcing a configure event to tabbed subwindows with -pe tabbed, for
211 the benefit of automove-background.
212 - the automove-background extension added a wrong constant offset.
213 - force refresh of XA_RESOURCE_STRING on virtual reconnect.
214 - return exit status 2 in urxvtc when urxvtd couldn't be contacted.
215 - the linux yield hack is back, now using usleep, and enabled only on
216 __linux__.
217 - further round trip eliminations in the !XFT case by remembering
218 the colour components.
219 - plain scrollbar works better with -sr.
220 - fixed half-shadow scrollbar look.
221 - more colour rtt optimisations.
222 - properly(?) free colours on window close.
223 - reorganised the FAQ into multiple sections.
224 - add ISO646.1991-IRV to the list of supported codesets.
225 - minor libptytty update.
226
2277.5 Tue Jan 31 15:15:43 CET 2006
228 - further improvements to the careful mode detection, and font width
229 detection:
230 - fully double-wide fonts will now be correctly treated,
231 - overlap detection was improved.
232 - detect totally broken fonts (usually synthesized by xft).
233 - careful mode forced refresh sometimes clashed with blinking,
234 causing unnecessary screen redraws.
235 - better handling of XFT combining characters.
236 - enable antialiasing for some replacement fonts, as they
237 might get used for other encodings which really need it, later.
238 - remove spacing=100 from all default fonts, as this creates totally
239 weird spacing (5 times normal) with xft.
240 - removed iso10646 fallback, as xorgs iso10646 encoded fonts are mostly
241 broken.
242 - removed gnu unifont fallback, all combining characters are broken.
243 - replace named colours by xorg's rgb.txt equivalents, to
244 reduce round trip time on startup, and short-cut allocation
245 of rgb:rr/gg/bb for xft.
246 - short-cut allocation of rgb values in the xlib case
247 (patch by Paco-Paco).
248 - overhauled color management: smaller codesize, alpha support.
249 - support "rgba:rrrr/gggg/bbbb/aaaa" color specifications and
250 an "[alpha]" prefix.
251 - try to work around Xft and Xrender forcing everything to be 100%
252 transparent. Long Live Xft!
253 - do not include X11/Intrinsic.h anymore, directly use
254 Xlib/Xutil/Xresource directly.
255 - try to find a nearest matching color when color allocation fails
256 on a pseudocolor screen.
257 - SYNCCVS: compared to rxvt-cvs 2006-01-28, no relevant changes.
258 - fix version report (DA) (which was unfortunately broken).
259 - changed version number report again, now to emulate xterm closer.
260 - added the OSC sequence 702 to detect the urxvt version number.
261 - small configure updates.
262 - further RTT optimisations.
263 - backported clean-up patches for makefiles and documentation from
264 the debian package.
265 - updated doc/rxvt-unicode.spec file. It's still not maintained here,
266 but much newer than the old one.
267
2687.4 Sat Jan 28 15:26:27 CET 2006
269 - screen background wasn't always erased properly when scrolling,
270 - re-enabled clearing optimisation disabled in 7.4pre.
271 - small configure updates for libptytty.
272 - fixed version options: line output.
273 - removed stoopid debugging message left in the code.
274
2757.3 Wed Jan 25 22:47:35 CET 2006
276 - don't let iso14755 or mouse reporting get into the way of perl
277 (could lead to global grabs never being cleared).
278 - experimental OnTheSpot editing support (-pe xim-onthespot).
279 - moved Shift-Button2 paste combination to Meta-Button2.
280 - the cutchars resource will now be respected and used by the
281 selection extension.
282 - added the "remote-clipboard" extension which just runs external
283 commands to fetch and store the selection data.
284 - added -depth switch that tries to get a different visual depth
285 than the default (replaces the old PREFER_24_BIT logic).
286 - removed (unused) arabic presentation form composing sequences.
287 - be more strict when deciding that a core font glyph is too wide and
288 needs the careful rendering mode.
289 - allow more leeway for italic fonts when deciding that a character is
290 too wide and needs careful mode.
291 - redraw even more characters around characters using careful mode.
292 - made selection-pastebin fully asynchronous.
293 - reduced number of server turnarounds at startup by allocating
294 atoms only once per display.
295 - renamed on_keyboard_command to on_user_command.
296 - changed version sos (ESC [ > c) response to be more compatible with
297 xterm.
298
2997.2 Sun Jan 22 21:58:16 CET 2006
300 - bugfix: urxvt (not urxvtd) did not correctly handle multiple
301 environments necessary, which resulted in segfaults within
302 getenv (reproducable: urxvt -fn 9x15, open a menu once,
303 ctrl-shift-672c).
304 - bugfix: the selection speedup in in 7.1 unfortunately caused
305 non-ascii characters to enlarge/move the selection.
306 - bugfix: resizing sometimes leaked lines from the secondary to
307 the primary screen.
308 - bugfix: reducing window size while large amounts of text were output
309 could lead to an assertion failure.
310 - added "tabbed" extension that provides a crude tabbed terminal.
311 - added "readline" extension that allows cursor positioning
312 via mouse clicks.
313 - now it is possible to insert the value of the CLIPBOARD selection
314 with shift - mouse button 2.
315 - fixed the automove-background extension to ignore coordinates
316 in non-synthetic events.
317 - created a separate libpty for portable and secure
318 pty/tty/utmp/wtmp/lastlog handling, and include it in rxvt-unicode.
319 - the non-terminfo visual bell now works asynchronously, so
320 continuous ASCI BELs in one terminal do no longer monopolise the
321 whole urxvt[d] process.
322 - support some *BSD makes (for the time being, gnu make is a safe bet).
323 - work around bugs in FreeBSD's gcc.
324 - implemented some *BSD fixes in configure.
325 - removed support for obsolete offix dnd protocol.
326
3277.1 Thu Jan 19 20:25:34 CET 2006
