197.2 24 - fixed urxvt::strwidth to calculate width in the same way as screen.C.
20 - removed support for obsolete offix dnd protocol. 25 - fix a crash caused by passing negative widths to overlay functions.
26 - give proper diagnostic when RXVT_SOCKET is too long instead of
27 corrupting the stack (patch by exg).
28 - urxvtd no longer crashes when the client sends an inaccessible
29 working directory (reported by Roland Baer, possibly fixes gentoo
30 bug #143985).
31 - fixed many minor issues reported by Roland Baer.
32
337.9 Mon Aug 7 18:16:07 CEST 2006
34 - fix the crashing bug people encountered with 7.8 + urxvtd + perl
35 + transparency. Ought to fix debian bug #380348.
36 - fix urxvtc.1.pod: it actually claimed -pty-fd would not work. But
37 it does! :->
38 - rxvt_fatal() in case the locale string is too long for our static buffer.
39 - fixed many, many, typos in the manpages (patch supplied by ves).
40
417.8 Mon Jul 17 21:00:46 CEST 2006
42 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: this version will always read ~/.Xdefaults,
43 earlier versions only read it if display-resources (usually from
44 .Xresources) are not set. This avoids the #1 FAQ ("why isn't my
45 resource used") and seems to be logical behaviour, too. .Xdefaults
46 resources have a lower priority than display-specific resources.
47 - add "kuake" perl extension that does a similar thing to the kuake
48 terminal emulator (see man urxtvperl).
49 - use less "correct" color scaling that is compatible with libX11 and
50 Xft (avoids off-by-one colors resulting in striped backgrounds).
51 - the "depth" resource is now respected.
52 - preset the searchable-scrollback pattern with "(?i)" to default search
53 to case-insensitivity. Will automatically be cleared when typing an
54 uppercase character.
55 - add FORCE_UNBUFFERED_XFT define to features.h.
56 - re-enabled highlightcolor support with --enable-frills, based on
57 a patch by Martin Stubenschrott.
58 - double-buffered xft drawing did suffer from pixel offset issues
59 when pixmap transparency was enabled.
60 - strategically add # to the url-match regexes, as we really want to
61 match common URIs not common URLs. Reported by Aaron Griffin.
62 - moved on_osc_seq to on_osc_seq_perl and added a more
63 generic osc_seq.
64 - fix a bug causing double callback invocations when perl hooks
65 were invoked recursively.
66 - the automove-background extension now properly works when the
67 pixmap gets reset with an osc sequence (sqweek).
68 - selection-pastebin did not work properly with non-latin1-characters.
69 - apply colorUL only when the text colour is the default fg
70 (patch by Wu Fengguang).
71 - removed rxvtlib.h from the tarball, it had no reason to be there
72 (spotted by Decklin Foster).
73 - fix compiling with TRANSPARENT but !XPM_BACKGROUND, as reported
74 by omatunto_.
75 - slap in a using namespace std, might help on platforms that don't
76 follow C++ closely enough.
77 - fix mailto url regex, spotted within milliseconds by Jost Krieger.
78 - applied fade_color_update_func.patch by WU Fengguang.
79 - fix a bug where (due to an optimisation in av_delete), hiding the
80 bottom-most overlay would hide two overlays.
81
827.7 Tue Feb 21 12:32:49 CET 2006
83 - use double-buffered drawing (xft fonts only). On many driver/hardware
84 combination this actually increases xft drawing speed, at the expense
85 of more network bandwidth and slight nausea on the side of the author.
86 - readline perl extension now requires shift-click instead of a normal
87 click, and eats the click.
88 - tabbed perl extension now supports -e.
89 - disabled graphics-exposures on the main drawing GC, report any
90 refresh bugs please.
91 - improve property handling for -pe tabbed: avoid unnecessary property
92 changes (for kde's benefit) at the expense of extra round-trips,
93 improve size hint setting.
94 - modified XIM according to a patch sent by Takano Akio that sets
95 the preedit rectangle for OverTheSpot, which helps some input methods
96 to correctly position their preedit window.
97 - un-optimise the line clearing on newly scrolled-in lines a bit: the
98 former reasoning was that any fg colour on default bg looks the same
99 in empty spaces, but thats not true when reversing (e.g. selection),
100 so also check for matching fg colours. This fixes the problem where
101 selecting newly scrolled-in lines would exhibit wrong colours.
102 - fix a bug in the perl interface causing focus in events to generate
103 focus out perl events, causing bad focus effects with -pe tabbed.
104 - fix a race resulting in a crash on exiting.
105 - fix a with --disable-xft that caused xfreecolors to be called on
106 colors never allocated, resulting in aborts (reported by Paco-Paco).
107 - resources on non-initial screens weren't refetched correctly
108 (reported by Paco-Paco).
109 - fix a bug in xcopyarea pass and _disable_ it, as it seems not to be
110 working in either rxvt-unicode nor in the original rxvt.
111 - removed undocumented -exec alias for the -e option.
112
1137.6 Fri Feb 10 08:52:36 CET 2006
114 - changed interpretation of [alpha] colour prefix.
115 - +option now really sets the option to default, instead of using the
116 resource value.
117 - options that require an argument now really _require_ an argument.
118 - the tabbed extension now forwards focus and keys events to th
119 relevant tab window.
120 - tab colours are now configurable and have sensible defaults
121 (initial patch by hednod).
122 - option menu is extendable, readline, selection and
123 selection-autotransform can now be disabled/enabled at runtime.
124 - forcing a configure event to tabbed subwindows with -pe tabbed, for
125 the benefit of automove-background.
126 - the automove-background extension added a wrong constant offset.
127 - force refresh of XA_RESOURCE_STRING on virtual reconnect.
128 - return exit status 2 in urxvtc when urxvtd couldn't be contacted.
129 - the linux yield hack is back, now using usleep, and enabled only on
130 __linux__.
131 - further round trip eliminations in the !XFT case by remembering
132 the colour components.
133 - plain scrollbar works better with -sr.
134 - fixed half-shadow scrollbar look.
135 - more colour rtt optimisations.
136 - properly(?) free colours on window close.
137 - reorganised the FAQ into multiple sections.
138 - add ISO646.1991-IRV to the list of supported codesets.
139 - minor libptytty update.
140
1417.5 Tue Jan 31 15:15:43 CET 2006
142 - further improvements to the careful mode detection, and font width
143 detection:
144 - fully double-wide fonts will now be correctly treated,
145 - overlap detection was improved.
146 - detect totally broken fonts (usually synthesized by xft).
147 - careful mode forced refresh sometimes clashed with blinking,
148 causing unnecessary screen redraws.
149 - better handling of XFT combining characters.
150 - enable antialiasing for some replacement fonts, as they
151 might get used for other encodings which really need it, later.
152 - remove spacing=100 from all default fonts, as this creates totally
153 weird spacing (5 times normal) with xft.
154 - removed iso10646 fallback, as xorgs iso10646 encoded fonts are mostly
155 broken.
156 - removed gnu unifont fallback, all combining characters are broken.
157 - replace named colours by xorg's rgb.txt equivalents, to
158 reduce round trip time on startup, and short-cut allocation
159 of rgb:rr/gg/bb for xft.
160 - short-cut allocation of rgb values in the xlib case
161 (patch by Paco-Paco).
162 - overhauled color management: smaller codesize, alpha support.
163 - support "rgba:rrrr/gggg/bbbb/aaaa" color specifications and
164 an "[alpha]" prefix.
165 - try to work around Xft and Xrender forcing everything to be 100%
166 transparent. Long Live Xft!
167 - do not include X11/Intrinsic.h anymore, directly use
168 Xlib/Xutil/Xresource directly.
169 - try to find a nearest matching color when color allocation fails
170 on a pseudocolor screen.
171 - SYNCCVS: compared to rxvt-cvs 2006-01-28, no relevant changes.
172 - fix version report (DA) (which was unfortunately broken).
173 - changed version number report again, now to emulate xterm closer.
174 - added the OSC sequence 702 to detect the urxvt version number.
175 - small configure updates.
176 - further RTT optimisations.
177 - backported clean-up patches for makefiles and documentation from
178 the debian package.
179 - updated doc/rxvt-unicode.spec file. It's still not maintained here,
180 but much newer than the old one.
181
1827.4 Sat Jan 28 15:26:27 CET 2006
183 - screen background wasn't always erased properly when scrolling,
184 - re-enabled clearing optimisation disabled in 7.4pre.
185 - small configure updates for libptytty.
186 - fixed version options: line output.
187 - removed stoopid debugging message left in the code.
188
1897.3 Wed Jan 25 22:47:35 CET 2006
190 - don't let iso14755 or mouse reporting get into the way of perl
191 (could lead to global grabs never being cleared).
192 - experimental OnTheSpot editing support (-pe xim-onthespot).
193 - moved Shift-Button2 paste combination to Meta-Button2.
194 - the cutchars resource will now be respected and used by the
195 selection extension.
196 - added the "remote-clipboard" extension which just runs external
197 commands to fetch and store the selection data.
198 - added -depth switch that tries to get a different visual depth
199 than the default (replaces the old PREFER_24_BIT logic).
200 - removed (unused) arabic presentation form composing sequences.
201 - be more strict when deciding that a core font glyph is too wide and
202 needs the careful rendering mode.
203 - allow more leeway for italic fonts when deciding that a character is
204 too wide and needs careful mode.
205 - redraw even more characters around characters using careful mode.
206 - made selection-pastebin fully asynchronous.
207 - reduced number of server turnarounds at startup by allocating
208 atoms only once per display.
209 - renamed on_keyboard_command to on_user_command.
210 - changed version sos (ESC [ > c) response to be more compatible with
211 xterm.
212
2137.2 Sun Jan 22 21:58:16 CET 2006
214 - bugfix: urxvt (not urxvtd) did not correctly handle multiple
215 environments necessary, which resulted in segfaults within
216 getenv (reproducable: urxvt -fn 9x15, open a menu once,
217 ctrl-shift-672c).
218 - bugfix: the selection speedup in in 7.1 unfortunately caused
219 non-ascii characters to enlarge/move the selection.
220 - bugfix: resizing sometimes leaked lines from the secondary to
221 the primary screen.
222 - bugfix: reducing window size while large amounts of text were output
223 could lead to an assertion failure.
21 - added "tabbed" extension that provides a crude tabbed terminal. 224 - added "tabbed" extension that provides a crude tabbed terminal.
225 - added "readline" extension that allows cursor positioning
226 via mouse clicks.
227 - now it is possible to insert the value of the CLIPBOARD selection
228 with shift - mouse button 2.
22 - fixed the automove-background extension to ignore coordinates 229 - fixed the automove-background extension to ignore coordinates
23 in non-synthetic events. 230 in non-synthetic events.
231 - created a separate libpty for portable and secure
232 pty/tty/utmp/wtmp/lastlog handling, and include it in rxvt-unicode.
233 - the non-terminfo visual bell now works asynchronously, so
234 continuous ASCI BELs in one terminal do no longer monopolise the
235 whole urxvt[d] process.
236 - support some *BSD makes (for the time being, gnu make is a safe bet).
237 - work around bugs in FreeBSD's gcc.
238 - implemented some *BSD fixes in configure.
239 - removed support for obsolete offix dnd protocol.
