29 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: this version will always read ~/.Xdefaults, earlier
30 versions only read it if display-resources (usually from .Xresources)
31 are not set. This avoids the #1 FAQ ("why isn't my resource used") and
32 seems to be logical behaviour, too. .Xdefaults resources have a lower
33 priority than display-specific resources.
34 - use less "correct" color scaling that is compatible with libX11 and Xft
35 (avoids off-by-one colors resulting in striped backgrounds).
36 - the "depth" resource is now respected.
37 - add FORCE_UNBUFFERED_XFT define to features.h.
38 - double-buffered xft drawing did suffer from pixel offset issues
39 when pixmap transparency was enabled.
40 - moved on_osc_seq to on_osc_seq_perl and added a more
41 generic osc_seq.
42 - fix a bug causing double callback invocations when perl hooks
43 were invoked recursively.
44 - the automove-background extension now properly works when the
45 pixmap gets reset with an osc sequence (sqweek).
46 - selection-pastebin did not work properly with non-latin1-characters.
47 - apply colorUL only when the text colour is the default fg
48 (patch by Wu Fengguang).
49 - removed rxvtlib.h from the tarball, it had no reason to be there
50 (spotted by Decklin Foster).
51 - fix compiling with TRANSPARENT but !XPM_BACKGROUND, as reported
52 by omatunto_.
53 - slap in a using namespace std, might help on platforms that don't
54 follow C++ closely enough.
55 - fix mailto url regex, spotted within milliseconds by Jost Krieger.
56
577.7 Tue Feb 21 12:32:49 CET 2006
58 - use double-buffered drawing (xft fonts only). On many driver/hardware
59 combination this actually increases xft drawing speed, at the expense
60 of more network bandwidth and slight nausea on the side of the author.
61 - readline perl extension now requires shift-click instead of a normal
62 click, and eats the click.
63 - tabbed perl extension now supports -e.
64 - disabled graphics-exposures on the main drawing GC, report any
65 refresh bugs please.
66 - improve property handling for -pe tabbed: avoid unnecessary property
67 changes (for kde's benefit) at the expense of extra round-trips,
68 improve size hint setting.
69 - modified XIM according to a patch sent by Takano Akio that sets
70 the preedit rectangle for OverTheSpot, which helps some input methods
71 to correctly position their preedit window.
72 - un-optimise the line clearing on newly scrolled-in lines a bit: the
73 former reasoning was that any fg colour on default bg looks the same
74 in empty spaces, but thats not true when reversing (e.g. selection),
75 so also check for matching fg colours. This fixes the problem where
76 selecting newly scrolled-in lines would exhibit wrong colours.
77 - fix a bug in the perl interface causing focus in events to generate
78 focus out perl events, causing bad focus effects with -pe tabbed.
79 - fix a race resulting in a crash on exiting.
80 - fix a with --disable-xft that caused xfreecolors to be called on
81 colors never allocated, resulting in aborts (reported by Paco-Paco).
82 - resources on non-initial screens weren't refetched correctly
83 (reported by Paco-Paco).
84 - fix a bug in xcopyarea pass and _disable_ it, as it seems not to be
85 working in either rxvt-unicode nor in the original rxvt.
86 - removed undocumented -exec alias for the -e option.
87
887.6 Fri Feb 10 08:52:36 CET 2006
89 - changed interpretation of [alpha] colour prefix.
90 - +option now really sets the option to default, instead of using the
91 resource value.
92 - options that require an argument now really _require_ an argument.
93 - the tabbed extension now forwards focus and keys events to th
94 relevant tab window.
95 - tab colours are now configurable and have sensible defaults
96 (initial patch by hednod).
97 - option menu is extendable, readline, selection and
98 selection-autotransform can now be disabled/enabled at runtime.
99 - forcing a configure event to tabbed subwindows with -pe tabbed, for
100 the benefit of automove-background.
101 - the automove-background extension added a wrong constant offset.
102 - force refresh of XA_RESOURCE_STRING on virtual reconnect.
103 - return exit status 2 in urxvtc when urxvtd couldn't be contacted.
104 - the linux yield hack is back, now using usleep, and enabled only on
105 __linux__.
106 - further round trip eliminations in the !XFT case by remembering
107 the colour components.
108 - plain scrollbar works better with -sr.
109 - fixed half-shadow scrollbar look.
110 - more colour rtt optimisations.
111 - properly(?) free colours on window close.
112 - reorganised the FAQ into multiple sections.
113 - add ISO646.1991-IRV to the list of supported codesets.
114 - minor libptytty update.
115
1167.5 Tue Jan 31 15:15:43 CET 2006
117 - further improvements to the careful mode detection, and font width
118 detection:
119 - fully double-wide fonts will now be correctly treated,
120 - overlap detection was improved.
121 - detect totally broken fonts (usually synthesized by xft).
122 - careful mode forced refresh sometimes clashed with blinking,
123 causing unnecessary screen redraws.
124 - better handling of XFT combining characters.
125 - enable antialiasing for some replacement fonts, as they
126 might get used for other encodings which really need it, later.
127 - remove spacing=100 from all default fonts, as this creates totally
128 weird spacing (5 times normal) with xft.
129 - removed iso10646 fallback, as xorgs iso10646 encoded fonts are mostly
130 broken.
131 - removed gnu unifont fallback, all combining characters are broken.
132 - replace named colours by xorg's rgb.txt equivalents, to
133 reduce round trip time on startup, and short-cut allocation
134 of rgb:rr/gg/bb for xft.
135 - short-cut allocation of rgb values in the xlib case
136 (patch by Paco-Paco).
137 - overhauled color management: smaller codesize, alpha support.
138 - support "rgba:rrrr/gggg/bbbb/aaaa" color specifications and
139 an "[alpha]" prefix.
140 - try to work around Xft and Xrender forcing everything to be 100%
141 transparent. Long Live Xft!
142 - do not include X11/Intrinsic.h anymore, directly use
143 Xlib/Xutil/Xresource directly.
144 - try to find a nearest matching color when color allocation fails
145 on a pseudocolor screen.
146 - SYNCCVS: compared to rxvt-cvs 2006-01-28, no relevant changes.
147 - fix version report (DA) (which was unfortunately broken).
148 - changed version number report again, now to emulate xterm closer.
149 - added the OSC sequence 702 to detect the urxvt version number.
150 - small configure updates.
151 - further RTT optimisations.
152
1537.4 Sat Jan 28 15:26:27 CET 2006
154 - screen background wasn't always erased properly when scrolling,
155 - re-enabled clearing optimisation disabled in 7.4pre.
156 - small configure updates for libptytty.
157 - fixed version options: line output.
158 - removed stoopid debugging message left in the code.
159
1607.3 Wed Jan 25 22:47:35 CET 2006
161 - don't let iso14755 or mouse reporting get into the way of perl
162 (could lead to global grabs never being cleared).
163 - experimental OnTheSpot editing support (-pe xim-onthespot).
164 - moved Shift-Button2 paste combination to Meta-Button2.
165 - the cutchars resource will now be respected and used by the
166 selection extension.
167 - added the "remote-clipboard" extension which just runs external
168 commands to fetch and store the selection data.
169 - added -depth switch that tries to get a different visual depth
170 than the default (replaces the old PREFER_24_BIT logic).
171 - removed (unused) arabic presentation form composing sequences.
172 - be more strict when deciding that a core font glyph is too wide and
173 needs the careful rendering mode.
174 - allow more leeway for italic fonts when deciding that a character is
175 too wide and needs careful mode.
176 - redraw even more characters around characters using careful mode.
177 - made selection-pastebin fully asynchronous.
178 - reduced number of server turnarounds at startup by allocating
179 atoms only once per display.
180 - renamed on_keyboard_command to on_user_command.
181 - changed version sos (ESC [ > c) response to be more compatible with
182 xterm.
183
1847.2 Sun Jan 22 21:58:16 CET 2006
185 - bugfix: urxvt (not urxvtd) did not correctly handle multiple
186 environments necessary, which resulted in segfaults within
187 getenv (reproducable: urxvt -fn 9x15, open a menu once,
188 ctrl-shift-672c).
189 - bugfix: the selection speedup in in 7.1 unfortunately caused
190 non-ascii characters to enlarge/move the selection.
191 - bugfix: resizing sometimes leaked lines from the secondary to
192 the primary screen.
193 - bugfix: reducing window size while large amounts of text were output
194 could lead to an assertion failure.
21 - added "tabbed" extension that provides a crude tabbed terminal. 195 - added "tabbed" extension that provides a crude tabbed terminal.
196 - added "readline" extension that allows cursor positioning
197 via mouse clicks.
198 - now it is possible to insert the value of the CLIPBOARD selection
199 with shift - mouse button 2.
22 - fixed the automove-background extension to ignore coordinates 200 - fixed the automove-background extension to ignore coordinates
23 in non-synthetic events. 201 in non-synthetic events.
202 - created a separate libpty for portable and secure
203 pty/tty/utmp/wtmp/lastlog handling, and include it in rxvt-unicode.
204 - the non-terminfo visual bell now works asynchronously, so
205 continuous ASCI BELs in one terminal do no longer monopolise the
206 whole urxvt[d] process.
207 - support some *BSD makes (for the time being, gnu make is a safe bet).
208 - work around bugs in FreeBSD's gcc.
209 - implemented some *BSD fixes in configure.
210 - removed support for obsolete offix dnd protocol.
