49TODO: image loading osc does not autoload background ext
50TODO: clean up the resource vs. long option mess, especially in the manpage.
51 - allow URxvt*keysym to match again. The fact that it was ignored
52 is considered a regression due in the way we checked for keysym
53 resources.
54 - Key bindings specified with the -keysym option or with resources of
55 the form URxvt*keysym work again. Such resources, as opposed to
56 resources of the form URxvt.keysym, were not officially allowed but
57 accepted, so ignoring them is considered a regression.
58 - new option/resource -rm/rewrapMode, which sets the line rewrap
59 mode to auto, never or always.
60 - new option/resource -dpb/disablePasteBrackets, which can be used to
61 disable bracketed paste mode sequences, as more and more programs
62 abuse these sequences (typically in the name of security, but these
63 sequences are not improving security). Also, bracketed paste mode
64 is now under frills.
65 - enable confirm-paste extension by default, can be disabled by e.g.
66 URxvt.perl-ext: -confirm-paste
67 - eval scroll actions now scroll to the bottom when scrolling down and
68 there are less lines to scroll than the ones requested (patch by
69 Stephen Talley).
70 - if urxvt cannot detect a good estimate for font width (because a font does
71 not contain latin characters at all for example), it will now fall
72 back to xft's max_advance_width, which works well with some fonts. It
73 currently will warn about this.
74 - do not render variation selectors in the default font as boxes, treat
75 them as zero-width characters.
76 - change combining character architecture to allow fonts to handle
77 combining sequences on their own. This could allow future renderers
78 to be more intelligent about these sequences.
79 - use the previous enhancement to allow unicode characters outside of the
80 BMP to be rendered even without --enable-unicode3, as long as an
81 xft with the character is configured.
82 It's recommended to stay with disabled unicode3 even more now.
83 - freetype/xft have been verified to return nonsensical offsets for
84 combining characters. urxvt tries to compensate to some extent,
85 but diacritics will be slightly off in many cases, and far off in
86 some cases (e.g. input mono).
87 - when checking for overlap/careful handling, take non-basefont
88 character shifts into account.
89 - allow perl-ext and perl-ext-common to override autoloaded extensions.
90 this allows tabbed to disable itself in subtabs, avoiding recursive
91 loading.
92 - update precompose table to unicode 13.0.
93 - update charset conversion tables to perl 5.32 (this only affected
94 cs_koi8_u_from_unicode).
95 - unicode characters > 0x100000 were not handled correctly w.r.t.
96 font rendering.
97 - replace bitstream vera by dejavu sans, as it has replaced the former
98 almost everywhere.
99
1009.26 Fri May 14 19:14:14 CEST 2021
101 - ev_iouring.c was wrongly required during compilation, and wrongly
102 not packaged.
103
1049.25 Fri May 14 15:51:36 CEST 2021
105 - for the 17.5th anniversary, and because many distributions seem to
106 remove rxvt in favour of urxvt, this release resurrects rclock as
107 urclock.
108 - add support for systemd socket-based activation - debian bug #917105,
109 freebsd bug #234276.
110 - do not destruct perl on exit anymore: this might fail for a variety of
111 reasons, and takes unnecessary time.
112 - remove any macros from urxvtperl manpage(s), should fix debian
113 bug 858385.
114 - the old bg image resources are now provided by the background
115 extension, and perl is thus required for bg image support. No
116 configuration change is needed: urxvt autoloads the background
117 ext if any bg image resource/option is present (for OSC sequences to
118 work you need to enable it explicitly). The old bg image
119 resources are also now deprecated; users are encouraged to
120 switch to the new bg image interface (see man urxvt-background).
121 - confirm-paste now checks for any ctlchars, not just newlines.
122 - searchable scrollback will now ignore bracketed paste mode sequences
123 (prompted by Daniel Gröber's patch).
124 - drop ISO 2022 locale support. ISO 2022 encodings are not supported in
125 POSIX locales and clash with vt100 charset emulation (the luit
126 program can be used as a substitute).
127 - perl didn't parse rgba colours specified as an array correctly,
128 only allowing 0 and 100% intensity for each component (this affected
129 fill and tint).
130 - when iterating over resources, urxvt will now try to properly handle
131 multipart resources (such as "*background.expr"), for the benefit
132 of autoloading perl extensions.
133 - ESC G (query rxvt graphics mode) has been disabled due to security
134 implications. The rxvt graphics mode was removed in rxvt-unicode 1.5,
135 and no programs relying on being able to query the mode are known.
136 - work around API change breakage in perl 5.28, based on a patch by
137 Roman Bogorodskiy.
138 - improved security: rob nation's (obsolete) graphics mode queries
139 no longer reply with linefeed in secure/default mode.
140 - ISO 8613-3 direct colour SGR sequences (patch by Fengguang Wu).
141 - xterm focus reporting mode (patch by Daniel Hahler).
142 - xterm SGR mouse mode.
143 - implement DECRQM. Patch by Přemysl Eric Janouch.
144 - add missing color index parameter to OSC 4 response. Patch
145 by Přemysl Eric Janouch.
146 - in some window managers, if smart resize was enabled, urxvt
147 erroneously moved the window on font change - awesome bug
148 #532, arch linux bug ##34807 (patch by Uli Schlachter).
149 - fix urxvtd crash when using a background expression.
150 - properly restore colors when using fading and reverse video
151 is enabled while urxvt is focused and then disabled while it
152 is not focused, or vice versa (patch by Daniel Hahler).
153 - fix high memory usage when an extension repeatedly hides and
154 shows an overlay (reported by Marcel Lautenbach).
155 - expose priv_modes member and constants to perl extensions
156 (patch by Rastislav Barlik).
157 - fix a whole slew of const sillyness, unfortunately forced upon
158 us by ISO C++.
159 - update to libecb 0x00010006.
160 - disable all thread support in ecb.h as we presumably don't need it.
161 - slightly improve Makefile source dependencies.
162 - work around bugs in newer Pod::Xhtml versions (flags incorrect formatting codes
163 in xhtml/html sections but does not interpret correct ones).
164
1659.22 Sat Jan 23 21:07:33 CET 2016
166 - NOTICE: this release updates terminfo.
167 - add terminfo capabilities for various ctrl and shift-ctrl key variants
168 (patch by Sebastian Schmidt).
169 - fix longstanding core font encoding bug where some character
170 ranges could not be mapped from unicode to the font: affected
171 encodings are big5, gb2312, iso8859-8 (hebrew), jis0201 and
172 ksc5601 (reported by Mikachu).
173 - fix crash when the number of columns is 1 and a 0 width character is inserted
174 (reported by Kuang-che Wu).
175 - fix a crash when parsing an invalid color specification (reported by Kuang-che Wu).
176 - fix a buffer overflow in font name parser (reported by Kuang-che Wu).
177 - do not start blinking cursor if the window is unfocused (reported by
178 Devin J. Pohly).
179 - change the width of underline and i-beam cursor to 2 pixels (based on
180 a patch by Omar Sandoval).
181 - add pointerShape resource to change the mouse pointer shape
182 (based on a patch by Brian Watson).
183 - a keysym resource for a key which is already bound to an
184 action now properly rebinds the key.
185 - do not report mouse motion events if Shift is active (patch by Daniel Hahler).
186 - put the alpha component last in responses to OSC color queries
187 (patch by Benjamin Herr).
188 - the key_press hook is now invoked before processing the
189 event, as documented. This change was done in 9.21 but not
190 announced and fixes debian bugs #511377, #531751 and red hat
191 bug #1105069. Note that this change breaks a few scripts,
192 such as mark-yank-urls, which rely on the previous buggy
193 behaviour that urxvt processes the event (in particular
194 keysym bindings) before invoking the hook.
195 - the tabbed extension now properly refreshes the active tab
196 on a key press when the mouse pointer is outside the terminal
197 window.
198 - add 'lookup_keysym' perl method to lookup the action bound
199 to a key combination.
200 - a key combination bound to 'matcher:select' can now be used
201 to cycle through the matches in matcher.
202 - change perl integer accessors (->width et al.) into mutators.
203
2049.21 Wed Dec 31 14:50:03 CET 2014
205 - the "moa redraw 8-bit british vintage colour management" release.
206 - NOTICE: this release updates terminfo.
207 - fix pixel droppings on overdraw when a secondary core font has the
208 same height but different ascent.
209 - implement cvvis in terminfo as blinking cursor, to distinguish it
210 from cnorm (emacs uses cvvis which is commonly a blinking cursor).
211 - when xft support was compiled in, colour queries erroneously returned
212 premultiplied values, this also affected internal queries, for example
213 when calculating faded colour. alpha is now divided out when possible,
214 which is more correct but loses colour resolution.
215 - add DECSCUSR xterm extension to set the cursor to a vertical bar.
216 - add 'extension:string' action, and associated on_action perl
217 hook, for keysym resources that invokes actions provided by
218 perl extensions. The 'perl:string' action and
219 on_user_command hook are deprecated but still supported.
220 - add 'builtin-string' action for keysym resources that restores string
221 mappings for keys that have predefined actions in urxvt.
222 - add -k option to urxvtc for killing the daemon process.
223 - document urxvtd's -e/--eval option that was implemented in 9.16,
224 but not documented.
225 - add -dockapp option to make the wm treat urxvt as a dockapp.
226 - add -mc option and multiClickTime resource to set the maximum time
227 between multi-click select events (patch by Joe Peterson).
228 - new 'eval' extension to evaluate arbitrary perl code with keysym
229 bindings. The extension also provides methods that implement basic
230 actions, such as pasting selections and scrolling.
231 - the macosx-clipboard and macosx-clipboard-native extensions have been removed.
232 - kuake extension now uses the kuake.hotkey resource to specify the hotkey.
233 - new 'matcher:select' mode of matcher to iterate over the matches with the keyboard.
234 - the 'matcher:list' feature of matcher now honours the launcher
235 associated to a matched pattern.
236 - speed-up matcher underlining on very long lines (reported by Edward Z. Yang).
237 - fix up/down commands of searchable-scrollback so that they always move
238 to the previous/next logical line with a match, if any.
239 - searchable-scrollback resource has been deprecated (use keysym instead).
240 - extension parameter passing is deprecated (use resource mechanism instead).
241 - upgrade to GPLv3 (see COPYING).
242 - compile out of the box on Solaris 10, again.
243 - fix height and position of the stippled area in next scrollbar (patch
244 by Thomas Otto).
245 - fix off-by-one bug causing the iso14755 window not to jump out of the
246 way properly.
247 - fix crash that may happen if a lib to which urxvt is linked to calls setenv.
248 - fix memory leak in special_{encode,decode} perl methods.
249 - fix refresh bug that occurs when reverse video is set on a cell
250 containing a space and with the same bg and fg colour, red hat bug
251 #830236.
252 - fix crash that may happen if an x error is received after a terminal
253 window/popup has been destroyed already.
254 - removed superfluous 0 digit from sgr terminfo sequence.
255 - greatly improve colour allocation on colour-starved pseudocolour
256 displays to avoid read-write cells instead of simply failing
257 (this is only relevant for antique 8bpp frame buffers).
258 - do not free fade colours when not doing fading (this is likely
259 only relevant for antique 8bpp frame buffers).
260 - do not specialcase 2 or 4 colour visuals, leading to
261 simpler and actually more correct code.
262 - hopefully no longer leak colours on !truecolour visuals.
263 - use consistent method names (scr_recolour => scr_recolor).
264 - use simpler (but slightly less bogus) formula for nearest
265 colour choice (this is likely only relevant for antique 8bpp
266 frame buffers).
267 - remove fallback behaviour when initialising colours - the
268 behaviour was inconsistent between startup vs. later and
269 was only effective when valid colours couldn't be allocated.
270
2719.20 Sat Apr 26 16:22:27 CEST 2014
272 - (libptytty) fix bug that prevented urxvtd from writing utmp
273 entries when using --fork (reported by Ryan Kavanagh).
274 - security bugfix: window property values could be queried even
275 in secure mode (reported by Conor McCarthy).
276 - fix build when perl is enabled and fading is disabled.
277 - fix regression that broke continuous scrolling when pressing
278 and holding the scrollbar up or down button, gentoo bug #493992.
279 - increase the maximum length of a command sequence to 32k bytes,
280 to allow longer OSC sequences (previous limit was 2k).
281 - new Ctrl-Meta-c and Ctrl-Meta-v bindings to interact with
282 the CLIPBOARD selection.
283 - new extension: selection-to-clipboard.
284 - the extensions macosx-clipboard and macosx-clipboard-native
285 are deprecated and will be removed in the next release.
286 Support for the clipboard on OS X can be more generally
287 enabled by setting the XQuartz preference to sync the OS X
288 pasteboard and the X11 clipboard.
289
2909.19 Sun Oct 27 17:16:07 CET 2013
291 - work around perl 5.18.0 breakage in tabbed extension
292 (reported by Karol Blazewicz) and in pod (Dominic Hargreaves).
293 - fix regression that caused the double-click word selection to
294 erroneously include a tab on the left of the selected word.
295 - implement FOCUS variable and focus_fade function in background
296 expression, to allow focus-sensitive background images.
297 - add support for the set cursor style (DECSCUSR) control
298 function.
299 - honour cursorColor also when the cursor style is underline.
300 - export some Color_xxx constants to Perl.
301
3029.18 Sun Mar 24 15:33:35 CET 2013
303 - fix regression that caused artifacts on resize.
304
3059.17 Fri Mar 1 13:46:08 CET 2013
306 - add shade operator in background perl extension.
307 - avoid starting or ending the selection in the middle of wide
308 characters to avoid artifacts (reported by Tiago Resende).
309 - fix artifacts that may occur if the character in the cursor
310 cell has width > 1 (reported by Tiago Resende).
311 - fix regression that causes artifacts on scrolling if
312 saveLines is 0 and the window is resized (reported by Bert
313 Münnich).
314 - fix build when perl is enabled and pixbuf and transparency
315 are disabled.
316
3179.16 Thu Dec 27 11:56:43 CET 2012
318 - the "so much new stuff your eyes will pop out" release.
319 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: renamed urlLauncher resource to url-launcher.
320 - fix processing of DEC private mode save sequences (patch by Patrick
321 Hemmer).
322 - perl extensions now have their own manpages, installed as urxvt-NAME(1),
323 e.g. urxvt-background(1) - see urxvt-extensions(1) for a list.
324 - fix disabling of cursor blink with the option-popup menu (based on a
325 patch by Jan Larres).
326 - the font height is not augmented anymore when lineSpace is non zero.
327 - fix "new pagemap" vs. "delete pagemap" mismatch ([] vs. non-[]),
328 as diagnosed by clang.
329 - fix height mismatch between active and inactive cursor when
330 lineSpace is non zero (patch by Stanislav Seletskiy).
331 - make it compile with LOCAL_X_IS_UNIX again (reported by
332 nickfailure@gmail.com).
333 - completely redone background pixmap support - users can now
334 specify arbitrary expressions (And programs) that calculate
335 new terminal backgrounds. see the urxvt-background manpage
336 for details.
337 - xrender is now required for background pixmap support.
338 - perl extensions can now provide commandline switches and resources
339 which show up in -help etc.
340 - iso14755 51 mode window now displays row and column.
341 - implement a -visual switch and move that and -depth to frills, also
342 warn when we can't get the requested visual.
343 - new env variable: RXVT_PERL_LIB.
344 - allocate all screen memory in one go and let the virtual memory
345 subsystem sort it out. this simplifies code, improves access
346 locality, saves a bit of ram and makes things a bit faster, too.
347 - remove support for libafterimage.
348 - update to CVS version of libev, for a whopping 11kb size decrease.
349 - do not ship yet another copy of ecb.h, use the one in libev or
350 libptytty instead.
351 - selectively mark some methods as cache-hot/cache cold, which
352 might speed up execution but definitely decreases codesize.
353 - Fix regression that prevented the scrollbar trough color
354 from being applied (reported by Derek B. Noonburg).
355 - Fix the scrollbar size for rxvt style (patch by Mark Robinson).
356
3579.15 Sat Jan 21 13:36:56 CET 2012
358 - remove "using namespace std" because clang erroneously
359 thinks thats an error.
360 - finding a matching font (e.g. bold version of the base font)
361 was broken (reported by Eamon Walker).
362 - fix parsing of bg image styles. They really work now.
363 - fix blurring of bg image borders when using xrender.
364 - fix xrender blur on common xrender implementations that do
365 not behave correctly when the same pixmap is used as source
366 and destination in composite operations.
367 - fix regression that caused tabbed to compute the wrong size
368 for tabs.
369 - allow again an empty suffix in a keysym list spec (patch by
370 Sung Pae).
371 - unsupported support for sun studio's CC added.
372 - fix -C option on solaris.
373
3749.14 Wed Dec 21 18:40:33 CET 2011
375 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: the urxvtd default socket path is now
376 $HOME/.urxvt/urxvtd-<nodename>.
377 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: the "list" keysym expansion now requires
378 loading of the "keysym-list" perl extension.
379 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: A scale value of 0 in the bg image
380 geometry no longer enables tiling, so as to make it possible
381 to disable both scaling and tiling.
382 - overhaul of the bg image operations. The old operations have
383 been deprecated in favour of elementary operations and
384 styles built on top of the new operations and scale/position
385 settings. (Emanuele Giaquinta).
386 - support for libafterimage is deprecated and will be removed
387 in the next release.
388 - fix a crash caused by selection_check not properly resetting
389 out-of-bounds mark values (can happen when extending a selection
390 while scrolling up in curses programs for example).
391 - do not move the selection when scrolling up and the selection is
392 outside the scrolling region (Emanuele Giaquinta).
393 - fix display of bold bright black (reported by Ben Winslow).
394 - fix memory leak when urgentOnBell is set (patch by Nathaniel
395 Filardo).
396 - fix a redraw bug that occurs when a bg pixmap is set and the
397 wm does not honour the size hints set by urxvt. Now urxvt
398 forces the size of the terminal window to be a multiple of
399 the cell size.
400 - sanitise the argument of SD / SU sequences. Fixes a possible
401 crash when the argument is big enough, red hat bug #711137
402 (Emanuele Giaquinta).
403 - correctly split long lines when scrolling.
404 - urxvt now looks for perl extensions also in $HOME/.urxvt/ext.
405 - add bell-command perl extension to execute a command when a
406 bell event occurs (Ryan Kavanagh).
407 - add set_urgency perl binding to set/reset the urgency hint.
408 - consume button release event in matcher (exg).
409 - keyboard accessible list of recent matches in matcher
410 (Bob Farrell).
411 - properly process 'keysym' sequences in tabbed when using
412 'focus follows mouse' and the focus is on the main window
413 but not on the active terminal window (patch by Martin
414 Pohlack).
415 - support for the freedesktop startup-notification protocol (patch by
416 Michael Stapelberg).
417 - the direction of VPR and VPB commands was reversed.
418 - fix alignment of inherited root pixmap when it is a different size
419 than the root window and the terminal window is off the left or top
420 edge (Mikachu).
421 - make $self visible in "eval perl expression" popup action, also
422 handle exceptions better.
423 - fix parsing of '-e' when it occurs as an option argument, such as in
424 'urxvt -title -e' (Emanuele Giaquinta).
425
4269.12 Wed Jun 29 14:34:28 CEST 2011
427 - fix regression in processing of SelectionNotify events.
428 urxvt would fail to request a selection if the owner did not
429 support the UTF8_STRING target.
430 - fix rendering of double width chars in certain circumstances, more
431 likely to happen if urxvt is compiled with 256 colors support as
432 urxvt runs out of fonts much earlier then. Fixes gentoo bug #358151
433 (Emanuele Giaquinta).
434 - restore support for 'list' syntax in keysym resources (requested by Sung Pae).
435 - always premultiply colour values - while this increases differences between
436 core fonts and xft, it is "more correct" in practical situations.
437 - disable PTYTTY_REENTRANT option - not needed for urxvt and saves a bit of code.
438 - remove lucidatypewriter from the list of fallback fonts, it was the only
439 non-xft non-cellfont in the list anyway.
440
4419.11 Mon May 2 10:34:46 CEST 2011
442 - fix compilation on GNU/Hurd, debian bug #624736.
443 - remove 'list' syntax for keysym resources, as it serves no useful purpose.
444 If you need it, poke us and provide a use case.
445 - fix alpha channel support. Premultiply alpha in colours if the visual
446 supports an alpha channel, as xrender expects premultiplied alpha
447 (Emanuele Giaquinta).
448 - fix reply to a selection request sent by an obsolete client
449 such as syncterm (patch by Marcin Cieslak).
450 - fix crash when the window is resized and the overlay is active
451 (Emanuele Giaquinta, reported by Ryan Kavanagh).
452 - match character-wise rather than byte-wise in selection
453 extension again. perl 5.8.9+ is required to avoid extreme
454 slowdowns. Fixes debian bugs #523072, #616463.
455 - fix a possible crash if the INCR transfer process for a
456 selection property timeouts and at least one chunk is
457 received. (Emanuele Giaquinta)
458 - work around a memory corruption bug in xorg's XrmSetDatabase (apparently
459 broken since http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/xorg-commit-diffs/2004-March/000239.html).
460 - fix memory corruption bug when custom command sequences bound to keys
461 were injected into an already-full pty input buffer.
462 - gdk-pixbuf is autodetected by default and preferred over libafterimage.
463 - do not prepend a newline to the selection text when the starting line
464 of the selection is not highlighted (Emanuele Giaquinta).
465 - don't swap perl env with real env, save and restore it, just in case
466 we ever get recursive perl invocations. also saves a bit of codespace
467 with gcc.
468 - fix various memory leaks (Emanuele Giaquinta).
469 - fix typo in kIC terminfo capability, debian bug #446444.
470 - document 'thickness' resource.
471 - fix debian bug #504817, to the extent possible.
472 - try to detect byte order at compile time, saves a couple of
473 hundred bytes, if your compiler is smart enough.
474 - add support for previewing the pasted data in confirm-paste
475 (Emanuele Giaquinta).
476 - added "newlines to spaces" option in selection-popup.
477 - actually enabled solaris event ports backend (was disabled by accident).
478 - revert to 38400 baud max., mission accomplished.
479 - no longer create scary "pty_fill: PLEASE REPORT" message, instead,
480 silently drain the input (problem is well understood now).
481 - no longer swallow rob nation's own graphics mode commands.
482
4839.10 Mon Dec 13 17:43:52 CET 2010
484 - the "schmorp=north korea dickey=south korea" release.
485 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: make OSC 20 simpler and more correct
486 (Emanuele Giaquinta).
487 - if options were compiled out, this could lead to the option
488 count to be defined wrongly. This is likely behind the
489 failures with gcc 4.5.
490 - explicitly depend on fontconfig and xrender when xft support
491 is enabled. Although the public Xft api uses types from
492 both, in Xft 2.2.0 these libs are private
493 dependencies only thanks to an idiotic behaviour of
494 pkg-config that was added to workaround cases like this one.
495 Fixes linking when using GNU ld with --as-needed or GNU gold
496 (based on patch by Jan Palus).
497 - fix minor memory leaks in urxvt and urxvtd.
498 - fix regression in urxvtd that prevented options from being correctly
499 set (reported by Michal Vaner).
500 - implement xterm's horribly broken 1005 mouse reporting mode,
501 and an alternative 1015 mode that works in non-utf-8 locales
502 and has fewer limitations.
503 - fix a possible bug where mouse notifications didn't work after
504 startup for the upper left corner.
505 - implement our own pixbuf to pixmap rendering to get rid of
506 dependency on buggy gdk-pixbuf-xlib. Only truecolor visuals
507 are supported (Emanuele Giaquinta).
508 - apply tinting before shading when both operations are requested.
509 Previously they were intermixed when lightening and the result
510 was inaccurate and confusing. Note that now a black tint yields a
511 completely black image, regardless of shading (Emanuele Giaquinta).
512 - avoid spurious redraws of the bg image when bg is transparent or
513 when using 'root' mode (Emanuele Giaquinta).
514 - fix build on XFree86.
515 - dynamically number options according to compiletime requirements.
516 For the extra saved byte. Or so. Yay.
517 - start options at one, not zero. Wastes a bit per terminal. Maybe.
518 saves 50 instruction bytes. Possibly.
519
5209.09 Sat Nov 13 01:39:07 CET 2010
521 - NOTICE: this release updates terminfo/termcap.

531 (Emanuele Giaquinta).
532 - properly set VSTATUS in termios for *BSD (reported by Ed Schouten).
533 - fix utmpx detection on upcoming FreeBSD 9.
534 - Use COMPOUND_TEXT encoding for WM_NAME/WM_ICON_NAME value when it
535 is not fully convertible to STRING (patch by James Cloos).
536 - fix a buffer overflow that would cause wrong key sequences to
537 be generated for numpad keys (introduced in 9.05).
538 - fix definition of sgr0 to work around limitations in luit.
539 - extend ISO 14755 5.4 mode to also print the font name of the
540 characters other than first one in the selected cell
541 (Emanuele Giaquinta).
542 - new iso14755 option to disable ISO 14755 at runtime
543 (Emanuele Giaquinta).
544 - make sure pagewise scrolling scrolls at least one line
545 (found by Mikachu).
546 - remove deprecated OSC 18 / 19 and make OSC 17 / 19 apply to
547 highlightColor / highlightTextColor (Emanuele Giaquinta).
548 - add highlightTextColor resource to change the foreground colour of
549 highlighted characters (Emanuele Giaquinta).
550 - make highlightColor apply also to selected cells with reverse video
551 but not to non selected cells with reverse video (Emanuele Giaquinta).
552 - remove colorRV resource (it was enabled only with frills off).
553 - fix numlock handling, the most longstanding bug to date (Emanuele Giaquinta).
554 - reduce the number of custom bits to 4, to make room
555 for 256 colours.
556 - add support for 256 colors (Emanuele Giaquinta, Marc Lehmann).
557 - add rxvt-unicode-256color terminfo and use it by default in 256 colors mode.
558 - update rxvt-unicode terminfo to state 7744 colour pairs to cover all
559 88*88 possible pairs.
560 - actually added macosx-clipboard-native, which should have been in
561 the 9.07 release but had been forgotten.
562 - fix hang if DECAWM is not set and there are not enough columns to insert a
563 character (Emanuele Giaquinta).
564 - cub1 ("backspace") will now respect wrapping when past the rightmost column,
565 working around a shortcoming of most tty line discipline's line editing.
566 - add support for grabbing the clipboard selection and extend
567 selection{_clear,_grab,} perl bindings to optionally work
568 on the clipboard selection (based on patch by Dana Jansens).
569 - no longer force CERASE to BACKSPACE - use the system default. affects
570 default value for VERASE only when no compatible setting for
571 backspacekey was given.
572 - use higher than 38400 baudrate setting, if detected.
573 - erase screen would clear to the wrong background when blinking
574 was enabled (which selects high intensity under some circumstances).
575 - scr_kill_char didn't touch the line.
576 - upgrade and port to libev-4.01.
577 - enabled solaris event ports and kqueue backends (if available).
578
5799.07 Wed Dec 30 07:07:18 CET 2009
580 - port to glibc-2.10 changes (strchr etc. returning const char *
581 in C++), based on patches by Milos Jakubicek and Oliver Mader.
582 - the binary search algorithm to find precomposed characters
583 was faulty, skipping some possible combinations (found by
584 Mikachu).
585 - new -letterspace option, patch by Mark H. Wilkinson.
586 - enable --mlock option for urxvt with frills on
587 systems supporting it (patch by Russell Harmon).
588 - urxvt did not compile without frills enabled
589 (analysed by Matthew Rosewarne).
590 - correctly reset the mbstate after an illegal
591 input sequence when handling terminal output (Emanuele Giaquinta).
592 - avoid redrawing wide characters with combining enabled on every
593 refresh (reported by Mikachu).
594 - fix a typo preventing the ISO-646.1991 character set from being
595 recognized (http://achurch.org/patch-pile/).
596 - better warning for x11 font encoding detection failures, also,
597 try to deduce encoding from both font properties and name
598 (adapted from http://achurch.org/patch-pile/).
599 - resizing the window with the scrollbar disabled via the escapes
600 sequence could make the window bigger again (Mikachu).
601 - make sure the alignment for fd passing control messages
602 is correct and work around some NetBSD issues (Taylor R Campbell).
603 - update to libptytty 1.3.
604 - replace macosx-clipboard by a nicer version by Reza Jelveh, and move
605 the old version to macosx-clipboard-native.
606 - document the -uc option (Emanuele Giaquinta).
607 - assertions in libev are now enabled depending on frills.
608 - update AnyEvent implementation to version 5.23 API.
609 - work around arrogant bsd idiocies again: netbsd spills the default
610 namespace with lots of symbols "for gnu/gcc compatibility" even
611 though neither of them does it, and then calls the rest of the world
612 in need of fixing. go figure.
613 - on_keyboard_command is on_user_command (patch by Michael Witten).
614 - setting the selection from perl will now reset the selection screen
615 to the current screen. the screen can be manipulated using
616 the new ->selection_screen method.
617 - implement --enable-assert configure option and get rid of DEBUG_STRICT
618 (based on patch by Emanuele Giaquinta).
619 - fix printpipe data output (patch by Emanuele Giaquinta).
620 - allow `xxx' quoting style for perl selection.
621 - upgrade to libev-3.9 prerelease.
622 - updated compose tables to unicode 5.2.0.
623

625 - NOTICE: this release updates terminfo/termcap.
626 - updates libev to 3.48.
627 - the aterm code now frees the as visual and image manager objects
628 when a window was closed.
629 - do not (wrongly) adjust the virtual line length inside
630 scr_insdel_chars/ERASE (Miroslav Lichvar).
631 - fix an issue where wide tab characters caused character shifts
632 when part of them was deleted (tracked down by Miroslav Lichvar).
633 - artificially enlargen the previous character at the end of a line
634 when trying to output a character that doesn't fit. looks ugly, but
635 makes copy&paste work.
636 - remove bogus "setuid/setgid security issues" from rxvt.1.pod, they
637 no longer apply.
638 - the urgency hint is now cleared on both focus in and focus out.
639 - cache urgency hint locally to avoid server rtt on every focus change.
640 - perl 5.10 needs PERL_SYS_INIT3 on hppa.
641 - ignore byte-order marks and do not treat them like combining characters.
642 - fix build issue when CURSOR_BLINK is not defined (Emanuele Giaquinta).
643 - do some µ-optimisations to the character fast path.
644 - use a less cunning, but more robust algorithm to avoid one terminal
645 monopolising the whole process by outputting a lot of text.
646 - try to work around linux first breaking sched_yield and now breaking
647 the only known workaround.
648 - new option -icon to set _NET_WM_ICON (based on patch by Frank Schmitt).
649 - initialise the as visual only on demand, instead of unconditionally,
650 to save memory in the common case of not using visual gimmicks.
651 - try to work around bugs in a few wm's that erroneously resize
652 client windows on hint property updates by temporarily
653 disabling size hints.
654 - implement the DECSTR soft reset sequence and use it for tput init,
655 and make hard RIS and DECSTR both reset more private modes, such
656 as mouse reporting.
657 - redundantly clear mouse reporting and a few other states in
658 tput init/tput reset, for older urxvts.
659 - partial/full clear screens did cause flickering and possibly pixel
660 droppings when urxvt viewed the scrollback buffer.
661 - use current rendition style in DCH sequence.
662 - the 132/80 mode switch no longer forces a screen reset.
663 - add an osc sequence to change the border colour (Emanuele Giaquinta).
664 - new perl extension "overlay-osc", for status displays and the like.
665 - fix some minor cursor drawing issues with overlays by allowing
666 overlays to modify screen flags (to disable the cursor themselves).
667 - work around programs not restoring rstyle before rmcup
668 (analysed by Miroslav Lichvar).
669
6709.05 Sun Jun 15 20:09:20 CEST 2008
671 - new option --cd/chdir to set the starting working directory.
672 - tabbed extension now starts in the "correct" working directory.
673 - work around fedora 9 providing isastream but not the relevant
674 header file for it (report by Tuncer Ayaz).
675 - upgrade libev, fixing a bug in the select backend.
676 with more than 31 file descriptors on non-linux 64 bit systems.
677 - correctly reset the multibyte state to the initial one
678 after EILSEQ (patch by Neil Booth). This fixes the
679 issue of rxvt-unicode not properly displaying text after an illegal
680 sequence on NetBSD and probably other systems.
681 - more intelligent property handling with -pe tabbed, works around
682 broken window managers (kwm et al.), saves bandwidth and should
683 help working window managers as well.
684 - made tabs moveable (based on a patch by Petr Machata).
685 - implement ESC [ 3 K as a more rational alternative to ESC [ 0 K.
686 - support relative paths for RXVT_SOCKET in urxvtd.
687 - the tabbed extension now blindly copies over all (rxvt-) resources
688 from the toplevel window to the children.
689 - better diagnostic on 0x0 window geometries.
690 - update AnyEvent API to version 3.4 and above.
691 - document the default value of :0 for DISPLAY.
692 - rename perl method XChangeWindowProperty to XChangeProperty.
693
6949.02 Tue Jan 29 11:58:36 CET 2008
695 - the "exg makes everybody happy" release.
696 - fix build with !xft.
697 - always compile in plain style scrollbar (simplifies code and looks great).
698
6999.01 Sat Jan 26 20:49:27 CET 2008
700 - be more aggressive about handling X events, this seems to be required
701 with newer xlibs (should fix the "screen stays black until event is
702 received" problem, again :)
703 - add buffered resource to control xft double-buffering.
704
7059.0 Fri Jan 25 19:34:04 CET 2008
706 - fix a crash bug where urxvtd would crash when urxvtc was called
707 with wrong arguments (I wish debian maintainers in general would
708 report bugs and their proposed fixes to the original package maintainers
709 instead of sitting on them for good measure to see if anybody notices).
710 - drawing xft compose characters was causing garbage to be drawn.
711 - correctly clear xft character background in all cases.
712 - implement bracketed paste mode (xterm private mode 2004).
713 - improve documentation on alpha channel handling, make urxvt
714 work better on servers lacking the RENDER extension when alpha
715 channels or background images are used.
716 - check for refresh after initialising to avoid staying blank
717 till the first event arrives. or so.
718 - the FORCE_UNBUFFERED_XFT feature macro works again.
719 - continuously update transparency while moving/resizing now.
720 - OSC 39/49 are deprecated and aliased to OSC 10/11.
721 - cub1 now acts as advertised (and ignores the "wrapped" state).
722 - the 132/80 mode switch now forces a height of 24, too, and
723 resets the terminal.
724 - scrollbar code cleanups.
725 - stopping children is no longer confused with children exiting.
726 - removed (undocumented) #aarrggbb format.
727 - updated to libev 3.0.
728
7298.9 Mon Dec 24 07:51:40 CET 2007
730 - fix the issue where urxvtd would not immediately close a window
731 when the command exited but only on the next X event.
732 - changed terminfo file not to use application keypad mode.
733 - fix the issue where making a selection in one urxvtd window
734 would not clear it visually in another.
735 - fix an issue of urxvt not getting background pixmap updates
736 and flickering after bg pixmap changes (reported by Mikachu).
737 - fix redraw bug in xterm scrollbar with -sr (reported by Mikachu).
738 - correctly provide dependencies for libev (µikachu).
739 - minor code reorganisations and cleanups.
740 - be more robust in case the urxvt-popup extension cannot be loaded.
741
7428.8 Sat Dec 15 19:40:39 CET 2007
743 - option -C was aliased to all unsupported options, activating
744 options that shouldn't be compiled in, leading to interesting
745 effects.
746 - updated libev, working around a bug in linux 2.4, curing the
747 symptom of urxvt not closing its window on shell exit. also
748 fixes a problem with urxvt not refreshing.
749 - the text blink callback was called even when no blinking
750 text was visible.
751 - pre-8.4 slipwheeling behaviour has been reinstated, with
752 some minor improvements.
753 - streamlined x events processing to only flush once per
754 display and not once per terminal window.
755 - quite a bit of minor code cleanups and codesize optimisations.
756
7578.7 Sun Nov 25 10:23:49 CET 2007
758 - update libev with an important bugfix that would cause crashes
759 when closing windows (when using rxvtd, and update is recommended).
760 - do not compile in the block builtin graphics with --disable-frills.
761
7628.6 Fri Nov 23 14:10:57 CET 2007
763 - upgrade libev to disable kqueue on anything but netbsd as it
764 seems to be broken everywhere else w.r.t. ptys.
765 - allow for spurious event notifications, as at least epoll and
766 especially solaris ports like to lie about them (symptoms:
767 urxvt "hangs" until there is some x11 related activity).
768 - -keysym command line options are now subjected to xlib parsing.
769 - add 'xrm' option analogous to Xt one.
770
7718.5a Wed Nov 21 10:16:33 CET 2007
772 - make it compile with --disable-transparency.
773
7748.5 Wed Nov 21 05:19:20 CET 2007
775 - expect major portability issues in this release: please test and report.
776 - converted from the veritable io manager event loop to
777 the high performance libev (http://software.schmorp.de/pkg/libev).
778 - minor tuning to the perl selection (include single words and more quoting chars).
779 - fix memory leak in pixmap code.
780 - fix a serious bug while setting the XIM destroy callback
781 on (typical) 64 bit systems.
782 - automove-background functionality re-implemented internally using :root op in pixmap
783 geometry string. For example: rxvt -pixmap "image.jpg;:root"
784 - do not link rxvtc against every lib on the planet anymore.
785 - parallel builds should work once more.
786
7878.4 Sat Oct 27 14:02:13 CEST 2007
788 - overhaul of the transparency/pixmap code (sasha).
789 - fix possible race between visual bell and poweron.
790 (reported by Martin von Gagern, gentoo?).
791 - urxvt -e no longer crashes the child.
792 - fixed some minor memleaks on incorrect usage or
793 missing DISPLAY.
794 - implement xterm 1002/1003 mouse tracking modes (exg).
795 - source code organisational cleanups (exg).
796 - updated io_manager.
797
7988.3 Wed Aug 1 20:21:31 CEST 2007
799 - new option: skipScroll/-ss, enabled by default.
800 - go with the times and expect x11 library files in /usr/lib, not
801 /usr/X11R6/lib.
802 - initial transparency improvement/afterimage support
803 patch by Sasha Vasko.
804 - add urgentOnBell resource to set the urgency hint
805 (patch by Philip Paeps).
806 - do not process focus events caused by grabs
807 (patch by Mikachu).
808 - add iso14755_52 resource to disable iso14755 5.2 (exg).
809 - add binding for backspace in iso14755 5.1 to remove the last
810 digit (exg).
811 - better option handling, support more than 30 options (exg).
812 - nuke reconf script, serves no purpose anymore.
813 - fixed and documented matcher/on_user_command processing in matcher
814 extension (tpope).
815 - compile out of the box on Solaris 10 (exg).
816 - fix MappingNotify events (reported by Stephan Walter).
817 - zero-initialise mwmhints, this seems to solve all sorts of minor
818 problems.
819
8208.2 Sat Feb 17 21:35:28 CET 2007
821 - fix make depend in src/, reported by exg.
822 - fixed typo in urxvt::GET_CUSTOM, causing the result to be wrong.
823 (patch by Sergey Vlasov).
824 - unbundled iom perl interface somewhat.
825 - scrollbar-xterm now uses the selected scrollColor instead of fg
826 (found by Aiviru).
827 - disabled linux kernel bug workaround again: disabling it gives
828 a 50% speed hit on affected machines, while enabling it gives
829 a similar speed hit to screen, which is likely the more common
830 case to work around for :/
831 - urxvt::rend2mask perl function, and utilization of it by matcher
832 (patch by Moshe Kamensky).
833 - use perl:matcher on a keysym to open most recently displayed URL.
834 - with matcher, when multiple patterns match, last wins, not first.
835 - fix make and make install with srcdir != builddir (exg).
836 - updated bundled libptytty to fix a bug where the tty would be kept
837 open (see the libptytty ChangeLog for details).
838 - delay setting the IUTF8 flag to after the tty settings have been
839 set so its value does not get lost (reported and analysed by Andrei
840 Paskevich).
841 - rip out support for obsolete sgtty.h interface.
842 - rip out support for non-POSIX termios variants.
843 - update libptytty.
844 - update iom.C, make it call ptytty::sanitise_stdfd on init.
845 - when !XFT, change rounding of colours to use a less correct formula to
846 meet user expectancies (#aaa becomes #a000a000a000 not #9f9f9f9f9f9f).
847 - change the starting offset of the pixmap set with backgroundPixmap
848 from (50,50) to (0,0) (exg).
849 - fix a typo in button_release, now meta-button2 request the value of
850 the Clipboard selection as it should (patch by Serge Koksharov).
851 - fix a bug in drawing a cell with a nonspacing char when using an xft
852 font with inheritPixmap and tintColor (exg).
853
8548.1 Thu Dec 7 22:27:25 CET 2006
855 - ケリスマスプレゼント - zomg!!1, it's too early!!!
856 - fix the assumption that chars < 256 are single-width. Now
857 only assume this for codepoints 32 to 126 (reported by Dai.H.).
858 - $term->strwidth returned wide chars as width 1, because some jerk
859 confused min and max. Fixing this also fixes xim-onthespot.
860 Reported by Takano Akio.
861 - secondaryScroll is now enabled by default (as per the manpage),
862 reported by exg.
863 - correct the description of [percent]color rgba format in the manpage.
864 - incorporated macosx-clipboard extension by Samuel Ljungkvist.
865 - ignore (some) useless focus events (reported by mmc).
866 - updated compose table to unicode 5.0.0.
867
8688.0 Thu Nov 2 18:35:19 CET 2006
869 - combining characters cleared the area instead of creating an overlay,
870 thus losing the ability to draw combining characters properly in most
871 circumstances (reported by exg).
872 - specified fonts were incorrectly morphed to bold/italic according to the
873 basefont, even if explicitly specified (tracked down by tpope).
874 - fixed urxvt::strwidth to calculate width in the same way as screen.C.
875 - fix a crash caused by passing negative widths to overlay functions.
876 - added 'matcher' extension by tpope, replacing the mark-urls extension.
877 - improve url regex to match anything www.* (tpope).
878 - fixed bug with outline cursor color being wrong after xft fonts.
879 - update to libptytty-1.0.
880 - give proper diagnostic when RXVT_SOCKET is too long instead of
881 corrupting the stack (patch by exg).
882 - display current terminal locale in option menu.
883 - urxvtd no longer crashes when the client sends an inaccessible
884 working directory (reported by Roland Baer, possibly fixes gentoo
885 bug #143985).
886 - fixed many minor issues reported by Roland Baer.
887 - Leonid Khramov spotted a minor glitch in rxvtfont.C that
888 should not have any consequences, but was buggy nonetheless.
889 - manpage fix by exg.
890
8917.9 Mon Aug 7 18:16:07 CEST 2006
892 - fix the crashing bug people encountered with 7.8 + urxvtd + perl
893 + transparency. Ought to fix debian bug #380348.
894 - fix urxvtc.1.pod: it actually claimed -pty-fd would not work. But
895 it does! :->
896 - rxvt_fatal() in case the locale string is too long for our static buffer.
897 - fixed many, many, typos in the manpages (patch supplied by ves).
898
8997.8 Mon Jul 17 21:00:46 CEST 2006
900 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: this version will always read ~/.Xdefaults,
901 earlier versions only read it if display-resources (usually from
902 .Xresources) are not set. This avoids the #1 FAQ ("why isn't my
903 resource used") and seems to be logical behaviour, too. .Xdefaults
904 resources have a lower priority than display-specific resources.
905 - add "kuake" perl extension that does a similar thing to the kuake
906 terminal emulator (see man urxvtperl).
907 - use less "correct" color scaling that is compatible with libX11 and
908 Xft (avoids off-by-one colors resulting in striped backgrounds).
909 - the "depth" resource is now respected.
910 - preset the searchable-scrollback pattern with "(?i)" to default search
911 to case-insensitivity. Will automatically be cleared when typing an
912 uppercase character.
913 - add FORCE_UNBUFFERED_XFT define to features.h.
914 - re-enabled highlightcolor support with --enable-frills, based on
915 a patch by Martin Stubenschrott.
916 - double-buffered xft drawing did suffer from pixel offset issues
917 when pixmap transparency was enabled.
918 - strategically add # to the url-match regexes, as we really want to
919 match common URIs not common URLs. Reported by Aaron Griffin.
920 - moved on_osc_seq to on_osc_seq_perl and added a more
921 generic osc_seq.
922 - fix a bug causing double callback invocations when perl hooks
923 were invoked recursively.
924 - the automove-background extension now properly works when the
925 pixmap gets reset with an osc sequence (sqweek).
926 - selection-pastebin did not work properly with non-latin1-characters.
927 - apply colorUL only when the text colour is the default fg
928 (patch by Wu Fengguang).
929 - removed rxvtlib.h from the tarball, it had no reason to be there
930 (spotted by Decklin Foster).
931 - fix compiling with TRANSPARENT but !XPM_BACKGROUND, as reported
932 by omatunto_.
933 - slap in a using namespace std, might help on platforms that don't
934 follow C++ closely enough.
935 - fix mailto url regex, spotted within milliseconds by Jost Krieger.
936 - applied fade_color_update_func.patch by WU Fengguang.
937 - fix a bug where (due to an optimisation in av_delete), hiding the
938 bottom-most overlay would hide two overlays.
939
9407.7 Tue Feb 21 12:32:49 CET 2006
941 - use double-buffered drawing (xft fonts only). On many driver/hardware
942 combination this actually increases xft drawing speed, at the expense
943 of more network bandwidth and slight nausea on the side of the author.
944 - readline perl extension now requires shift-click instead of a normal
945 click, and eats the click.
946 - tabbed perl extension now supports -e.
947 - disabled graphics-exposures on the main drawing GC, report any
948 refresh bugs please.
949 - improve property handling for -pe tabbed: avoid unnecessary property
950 changes (for kde's benefit) at the expense of extra round-trips,
951 improve size hint setting.
952 - modified XIM according to a patch sent by Takano Akio that sets
953 the preedit rectangle for OverTheSpot, which helps some input methods
954 to correctly position their preedit window.
955 - un-optimise the line clearing on newly scrolled-in lines a bit: the
956 former reasoning was that any fg colour on default bg looks the same
957 in empty spaces, but that's not true when reversing (e.g. selection),
958 so also check for matching fg colours. This fixes the problem where
959 selecting newly scrolled-in lines would exhibit wrong colours.
960 - fix a bug in the perl interface causing focus in events to generate
961 focus out perl events, causing bad focus effects with -pe tabbed.
962 - fix a race resulting in a crash on exiting.
963 - fix a with --disable-xft that caused xfreecolors to be called on
964 colors never allocated, resulting in aborts (reported by Paco-Paco).
965 - resources on non-initial screens weren't refetched correctly
966 (reported by Paco-Paco).
967 - fix a bug in xcopyarea pass and _disable_ it, as it seems not to be
968 working in either rxvt-unicode nor in the original rxvt.
969 - removed undocumented -exec alias for the -e option.
970
9717.6 Fri Feb 10 08:52:36 CET 2006
972 - changed interpretation of [alpha] colour prefix.
973 - +option now really sets the option to default, instead of using the
974 resource value.
975 - options that require an argument now really _require_ an argument.
976 - the tabbed extension now forwards focus and key events to the
977 relevant tab window.
978 - tab colours are now configurable and have sensible defaults
979 (initial patch by hednod).
980 - option menu is extendable, readline, selection and
981 selection-autotransform can now be disabled/enabled at runtime.
982 - forcing a configure event to tabbed subwindows with -pe tabbed, for
983 the benefit of automove-background.
984 - the automove-background extension added a wrong constant offset.
985 - force refresh of XA_RESOURCE_STRING on virtual reconnect.
986 - return exit status 2 in urxvtc when urxvtd couldn't be contacted.
987 - the linux yield hack is back, now using usleep, and enabled only on
988 __linux__.
989 - further round trip eliminations in the !XFT case by remembering
990 the colour components.
991 - plain scrollbar works better with -sr.
992 - fixed half-shadow scrollbar look.
993 - more colour rtt optimisations.
994 - properly(?) free colours on window close.
995 - reorganised the FAQ into multiple sections.
996 - add ISO646.1991-IRV to the list of supported codesets.
997 - minor libptytty update.
998
9997.5 Tue Jan 31 15:15:43 CET 2006
1000 - further improvements to the careful mode detection, and font width
1001 detection:
1002 - fully double-wide fonts will now be correctly treated,
1003 - overlap detection was improved.
1004 - detect totally broken fonts (usually synthesized by xft).
1005 - careful mode forced refresh sometimes clashed with blinking,
1006 causing unnecessary screen redraws.
1007 - better handling of XFT combining characters.
1008 - enable antialiasing for some replacement fonts, as they
1009 might get used for other encodings which really need it, later.
1010 - remove spacing=100 from all default fonts, as this creates totally
1011 weird spacing (5 times normal) with xft.
1012 - removed iso10646 fallback, as xorgs iso10646 encoded fonts are mostly
1013 broken.
1014 - removed gnu unifont fallback, all combining characters are broken.
1015 - replace named colours by xorg's rgb.txt equivalents, to
1016 reduce round trip time on startup, and short-cut allocation
1017 of rgb:rr/gg/bb for xft.
1018 - short-cut allocation of rgb values in the xlib case
1019 (patch by Paco-Paco).
1020 - overhauled color management: smaller codesize, alpha support.
1021 - support "rgba:rrrr/gggg/bbbb/aaaa" color specifications and
1022 an "[alpha]" prefix.
1023 - try to work around Xft and Xrender forcing everything to be 100%
1024 transparent. Long Live Xft!
1025 - do not include X11/Intrinsic.h anymore, directly use
1026 Xlib/Xutil/Xresource directly.
1027 - try to find a nearest matching color when color allocation fails
1028 on a pseudocolor screen.
1029 - SYNCCVS: compared to rxvt-cvs 2006-01-28, no relevant changes.
1030 - fix version report (DA) (which was unfortunately broken).
1031 - changed version number report again, now to emulate xterm closer.
1032 - added the OSC sequence 702 to detect the urxvt version number.
1033 - small configure updates.
1034 - further RTT optimisations.
1035 - backported clean-up patches for makefiles and documentation from
1036 the debian package.
1037 - updated doc/rxvt-unicode.spec file. It's still not maintained here,
1038 but much newer than the old one.
1039
10407.4 Sat Jan 28 15:26:27 CET 2006
1041 - screen background wasn't always erased properly when scrolling,
1042 - re-enabled clearing optimisation disabled in 7.4pre.
1043 - small configure updates for libptytty.
1044 - fixed version options: line output.
1045 - removed stoopid debugging message left in the code.
1046
10477.3 Wed Jan 25 22:47:35 CET 2006
1048 - don't let iso14755 or mouse reporting get into the way of perl
1049 (could lead to global grabs never being cleared).
1050 - experimental OnTheSpot editing support (-pe xim-onthespot).
1051 - moved Shift-Button2 paste combination to Meta-Button2.
1052 - the cutchars resource will now be respected and used by the
1053 selection extension.
1054 - added the "remote-clipboard" extension which just runs external
1055 commands to fetch and store the selection data.
1056 - added -depth switch that tries to get a different visual depth
1057 than the default (replaces the old PREFER_24_BIT logic).
1058 - removed (unused) arabic presentation form composing sequences.
1059 - be more strict when deciding that a core font glyph is too wide and
1060 needs the careful rendering mode.
1061 - allow more leeway for italic fonts when deciding that a character is
1062 too wide and needs careful mode.
1063 - redraw even more characters around characters using careful mode.
1064 - made selection-pastebin fully asynchronous.
1065 - reduced number of server turnarounds at startup by allocating
1066 atoms only once per display.
1067 - renamed on_keyboard_command to on_user_command.
1068 - changed version sos (ESC [ > c) response to be more compatible with
1069 xterm.
1070
10717.2 Sun Jan 22 21:58:16 CET 2006
1072 - bugfix: urxvt (not urxvtd) did not correctly handle multiple
1073 environments necessary, which resulted in segfaults within
1074 getenv (reproducible: urxvt -fn 9x15, open a menu once,
1075 ctrl-shift-672c).
1076 - bugfix: the selection speedup in in 7.1 unfortunately caused
1077 non-ascii characters to enlarge/move the selection.
1078 - bugfix: resizing sometimes leaked lines from the secondary to
1079 the primary screen.
1080 - bugfix: reducing window size while large amounts of text were output
1081 could lead to an assertion failure.
1082 - added "tabbed" extension that provides a crude tabbed terminal.
1083 - added "readline" extension that allows cursor positioning
1084 via mouse clicks.
1085 - now it is possible to insert the value of the CLIPBOARD selection
1086 with shift - mouse button 2.
1087 - fixed the automove-background extension to ignore coordinates
1088 in non-synthetic events.
1089 - created a separate libpty for portable and secure
1090 pty/tty/utmp/wtmp/lastlog handling, and include it in rxvt-unicode.
1091 - the non-terminfo visual bell now works asynchronously, so
1092 continuous ASCI BELs in one terminal do no longer monopolise the
1093 whole urxvt[d] process.
1094 - support some *BSD makes (for the time being, gnu make is a safe bet).
1095 - work around bugs in FreeBSD's gcc.
1096 - implemented some *BSD fixes in configure.
20 - removed support for obsolete offix dnd protocol. 1097 - removed support for obsolete offix dnd protocol.
21 - added "tabbed" extension that provides a crude tabbed terminal.
