13TODO: distributed clipboard example 12WISH: investigate -pe tabbed -g 80x25 being 23 not 24 or 25 lines
14WISH: perl extension for background image loading and moving the origin. 13 => when setting the constraints, the wm might (correctly)
15WISH: OnTheSpot editing, or maybe switch to miiiiiiif. or maybe use perl and an overlay... 14 resize the outer window, which might result in a smaller window overall.

25 be generated for numpad keys (introduced in 9.05).
26 - fix definition of sgr0 to work around limitations in luit.
27 - extend ISO 14755 5.4 mode to also print the font name of the
28 characters other than first one in the selected cell
29 (Emanuele Giaquinta).
30 - new iso14755 option to disable ISO 14755 at runtime
31 (Emanuele Giaquinta).

39 - make highlightColor apply also to selected cells with reverse video
40 but not to non selected cells with reverse video.
41 - remove colorRV resource (it was enabled only with frills off).
42 - fix numlock handling, the most longstanding bug to date (Emanuele Giaquinta).
43 - searchable-scrollback no longer ignores the first line
44 (Emanuele Giaquinta).
45 - reduce the number of custom bits to 4, to make room

48 - add rxvt-unicode-256color terminfo and use it by default in that mode.
49 - actually added macosx-clipboard-native, which should have been in
50 the 9.07 release but had been forgotten.
51 - add support for grabbing the clipboard selection and extend
52 selection{_clear,_grab,} perl bindings to optionally work
53 on the clipboard selection (based on patch by Dana Jansens).
54 - no longer use CERASE to DEL - use the system default. affects
55 default value for VERASE only when no compatible setting for
56 backspacekey was given.
57
589.07 Wed Dec 30 07:07:18 CET 2009
59 - port to glibc-2.10 changes (strchr etc. returning const char *
60 in C++), based on patches by Milos Jakubicek and Oliver Mader.
61 - the binary search algorithm to find precomposed characters
62 was faulty, skipping some possible combinations (found by
63 Mikachu).
64 - new -letterspace option, patch by Mark H. Wilkinson.
65 - enable --mlock option for urxvt with frills on
66 systems supporting it (patch by Russell Harmon).
67 - urxvt did not compile without frills enabled
68 (analysed by Matthew Rosewarne).
69 - correctly reset the mbstate after an illegal
70 input sequence when handling terminal output (Emanuele Giaquinta).
71 - avoid redrawing wide characters with combining enabled on every
72 refresh (reported by Mikachu).
73 - fix a typo preventing the ISO-646.1991 character set from being
74 recognized (http://achurch.org/patch-pile/).
75 - better warning for x11 font encoding detection failures, also,
76 try to deduce encoding from both font properties and name
77 (adapted from http://achurch.org/patch-pile/).
78 - resizing the window with the scrollbar disabled via the escapes
79 sequence could make the window bigger again (Mikachu).
80 - make sure the alignment for fd passing control messages
81 is correct and work around some NetBSD issues (Taylor R Campbell).
82 - update to libptytty 1.3.
83 - replace macosx-clipboard by a nicer version by Reza Jelveh, and move
84 the old version to macosx-clipboard-native.
85 - document the -uc option (Emanuele Giaquinta).
86 - assertions in libev are now enabled depending on frills.
87 - update AnyEvent implementation to version 5.23 API.
88 - work around arrogant bsd idiocies again: netbsd spills the default
89 namespace with lots of symbols "for gnu/gcc compatibility" even
90 though neither of them does it, and then calls the rest of the world
91 in need of fixing. go figure.
92 - on_keyboard_command is on_user_command (patch by Michael Witten).
93 - setting the selection from perl will now reset the selection screen
94 to the current screen. the screen can be manipulated using
95 the new ->selection_screen method.
96 - implement --enable-assert configure option and get rid of DEBUG_STRICT
97 (based on patch by Emanuele Giaquinta).
98 - fix printpipe data output (patch by Emanuele Giaquinta).
99 - allow `xxx' quoting style for perl selection.
100 - upgrade to libev-3.9 prerelease.
101 - updated compose tables to unicode 5.2.0.
102
1039.06 Sat Nov 8 17:47:18 CET 2008
104 - NOTICE: this release updates terminfo/termcap.
105 - updates libev to 3.48.
106 - the aterm code now frees the as visual and image manager objects
107 when a window was closed.
108 - do not (wrongly) adjust the virtual line length inside
109 scr_insdel_chars/ERASE (Miroslav Lichvar).
110 - fix an issue where wide tab characters caused character shifts
111 when part of them was deleted (tracked down by Miroslav Lichvar).
112 - artificially enlargen the previous character at the end of a line
113 when trying to output a character that doesn't fit. looks ugly, but
114 makes copy&paste work.
115 - remove bogus "setuid/setgid security issues" from rxvt.1.pod, they
116 no longer apply.
117 - the urgency hint is now cleared on both focus in and focus out.
118 - cache urgency hint locally to avoid server rtt on every focus change.
119 - perl 5.10 needs PERL_SYS_INIT3 on hppa.
120 - ignore byte-order marks and do not treat them like combining characters.
121 - fix build issue when CURSOR_BLINK is not defined (Emanuele Giaquinta).
122 - do some µ-optimisations to the character fast path.
123 - use a less cunning, but more robust algorithm to avoid one terminal
124 monopolising the whole process by outputting a lot of text.
125 - try to work around linux first breaking sched_yield and now breaking
126 the only known workaround.
127 - new option -icon to set _NET_WM_ICON (based on patch by Frank Schmitt).
128 - initialise the as visual only on demand, instead of unconditionally,
129 to save memory in the common case of not using visual gimmicks.
130 - try to work around bugs in a few wm's that erroneously resize
131 client windows on hint property updates by temporarily
132 disabling size hints.
133 - implement the DECSTR soft reset sequence and use it for tput init,
134 and make hard RIS and DECSTR both reset more private modes, such
135 as mouse reporting.
136 - redundantly clear mouse reporting and a few other states in
137 tput init/tput reset, for older urxvts.
138 - partial/full clear screens did cause flickering and possibly pixel
139 droppings when urxvt viewed the scrollback buffer.
140 - use current rendition style in DCH sequence.
141 - the 132/80 mode switch no longer forces a screen reset.
142 - add an osc sequence to change the border colour (Emanuele Giaquinta).
143 - new perl extension "overlay-osc", for status displays and the like.
144 - fix some minor cursor drawing issues with overlays by allowing
145 overlays to modify screen flags (to disable the cursor themselves).
146 - work around programs not restoring rstyle before rmcup
147 (analysed by Miroslav Lichvar).
148
1499.05 Sun Jun 15 20:09:20 CEST 2008
150 - new option --cd/chdir to set the starting working directory.
151 - tabbed extension now starts in the "correct" working directory.
152 - work around fedora 9 providing isastream but not the relevant
153 header file for it (report by Tuncer Ayaz).
154 - upgrade libev, fixing a bug in the select backend.
155 with more than 31 file descriptors on non-linux 64 bit systems.
156 - correctly reset the multibyte state to the initial one
157 after EILSEQ (patch by Neil Booth). This fixes the
158 issue of rxvt-unicode not properly displaying text after an illegal
159 sequence on NetBSD and probably other systems.
160 - more intelligent property handling with -pe tabbed, works around
161 broken window managers (kwm et al.), saves bandwidth and should
162 help working window managers as well.
163 - made tabs moveable (based on a patch by Petr Machata).
164 - implement ESC [ 3 K as a more rational alternative to ESC [ 0 K.
165 - support relative paths for RXVT_SOCKET in urxvtd.
166 - the tabbed extension now blindly copies over all (rxvt-) resources
167 from the toplevel window to the children.
168 - better diagnostic on 0x0 window geometries.
169 - update AnyEvent API to version 3.4 and above.
170 - document the default value of :0 for DISPLAY.
171 - rename perl method XChangeWindowProperty to XChangeProperty.
172
1739.02 Tue Jan 29 11:58:36 CET 2008
174 - the "exg makes everybody happy" release.
175 - fix build with !xft.
176 - always compile in plain style scrollbar (simplifies code and looks great).
177
1789.01 Sat Jan 26 20:49:27 CET 2008
179 - be more aggressive about handling X events, this seems to be required
180 with newer xlibs (should fix the "screen stays black until event is
181 received" problem, again :)
182 - add buffered resource to control xft double-buffering.
183
1849.0 Fri Jan 25 19:34:04 CET 2008
185 - fix a crash bug where urxvtd would crash when urxvtc was called
186 with wrong arguments (I wish debian maintainers in general would
187 report bugs and their proposed fixes to the original package maintainers
188 instead of sitting on them for good measure to see if anybody notices).
189 - drawing xft compose characters was causing garbage to be drawn.
190 - correctly clear xft character background in all cases.
191 - implement bracketed paste mode (xterm private mode 2004).
192 - improve documentation on alpha channel handling, make urxvt
193 work better on servers lacking the RENDER extension when alpha
194 channels or background images are used.
195 - check for refresh after initialising to avoid staying blank
196 till the first event arrives. or so.
197 - the FORCE_UNBUFFERED_XFT feature macro works again.
198 - continuously update transparency while moving/resizing now.
199 - OSC 39/49 are deprecated and aliased to OSC 10/11.
200 - cub1 now acts as advertised (and ignores the "wrapped" state).
201 - the 132/80 mode switch now forces a height of 24, too, and
202 resets the terminal.
203 - scrollbar code cleanups.
204 - stopping children is no longer confused with children exiting.
205 - removed (undocumented) #aarrggbb format.
206 - updated to libev 3.0.
207
2088.9 Mon Dec 24 07:51:40 CET 2007
209 - fix the issue where urxvtd would not immediately close a window
210 when the command exited but only on the next X event.
211 - changed terminfo file not to use application keypad mode.
212 - fix the issue where making a selection in one urxvtd window
213 would not clear it visually in another.
214 - fix an issue of urxvt not getting background pixmap updates
215 and flickering after bg pixmap changes (reported by Mikachu).
216 - fix redraw bug in xterm scrollbar with -sr (reported by Mikachu).
217 - correctly provide dependencies for libev (µikachu).
218 - minor code reorganisations and cleanups.
219 - be more robust in case the urxvt-popup extension cannot be loaded.
220
2218.8 Sat Dec 15 19:40:39 CET 2007
222 - option -C was aliased to all unsupported options, activating
223 options that shouldn't be compiled in, leading to interesting
224 effects.
225 - updated libev, working around a bug in linux 2.4, curing the
226 symptom of urxvt not closing its window on shell exit. also
227 fixes a problem with urxvt not refreshing.
228 - the text blink callback was called even when no blinking
229 text was visible.
230 - pre-8.4 slipwheeling behaviour has been reinstated, with
231 some minor improvements.
232 - streamlined x events processing to only flush once per
233 display and not once per terminal window.
234 - quite a bit of minor code cleanups and codesize optimisations.
235
2368.7 Sun Nov 25 10:23:49 CET 2007
237 - update libev with an important bugfix that would cause crashes
238 when closing windows (when using rxvtd, and update is recommended).
239 - do not compile in the block builtin graphics with --disable-frills.
240
2418.6 Fri Nov 23 14:10:57 CET 2007
242 - upgrade libev to disable kqueue on anything but netbsd as it
243 seems to be broken everywhere else w.r.t. ptys.
244 - allow for spurious event notifications, as at least epoll and
245 especially solaris ports like to lie about them (symptoms:
246 urxvt "hangs" until there is some x11 related activity).
247 - -keysym command line options are now subjected to xlib parsing.
248 - add 'xrm' option analogous to Xt one.
249
2508.5a Wed Nov 21 10:16:33 CET 2007
251 - make it compile with --disable-transparency.
252
2538.5 Wed Nov 21 05:19:20 CET 2007
254 - expect major portability issues in this release: please test and report.
255 - converted from the veritable io manager event loop to
256 the high performance libev (http://software.schmorp.de/pkg/libev).
257 - minor tuning to the perl selection (include single words and more quoting chars).
258 - fix memory leak in pixmap code.
259 - fix a serious bug while setting the XIM destroy callback
260 on (typical) 64 bit systems.
261 - automove-background functionality re-implemented internally using :root op in pixmap
262 geometry string. For example: rxvt -pixmap "image.jpg;:root"
263 - do not link rxvtc against every lib on the planet anymore.
264 - parallel builds should work once more.
265
2668.4 Sat Oct 27 14:02:13 CEST 2007
267 - overhaul of the transparency/pixmap code (sasha).
268 - fix possible race between visual bell and poweron.
269 (reported by Martin von Gagern, gentoo?).
270 - urxvt -e no longer crashes the child.
271 - fixed some minor memleaks on incorrect usage or
272 missing DISPLAY.
273 - implement xterm 1002/1003 mouse tracking modes (exg).
274 - source code organisational cleanups (exg).
275 - updated io_manager.
276
2778.3 Wed Aug 1 20:21:31 CEST 2007
278 - new option: skipScroll/-ss, enabled by default.
279 - go with the times and expect x11 library files in /usr/lib, not
280 /usr/X11R6/lib.
281 - initial transparency improvement/afterimage support
282 patch by Sasha Vasko.
283 - add urgentOnBell resource to set the urgency hint
284 (patch by Philip Paeps).
285 - do not process focus events caused by grabs
286 (patch by Mikachu).
287 - add iso14755_52 resource to disable iso14755 5.2 (exg).
288 - add binding for backspace in iso14755 5.1 to remove the last
289 digit (exg).
290 - better option handling, support more than 30 options (exg).
291 - nuke reconf script, serves no purpose anymore.
292 - fixed and documented matcher/on_user_command processing in matcher
293 extension (tpope).
294 - compile out of the box on Solaris 10 (exg).
295 - fix MappingNotify events (reported by Stephan Walter).
296 - zero-initialise mwmhints, this seems to solve all sorts of minor
297 problems.
298
2998.2 Sat Feb 17 21:35:28 CET 2007
300 - fix make depend in src/, reported by exg.
301 - fixed typo in urxvt::GET_CUSTOM, causing the result to be wrong.
302 (patch by Sergey Vlasov).
303 - unbundled iom perl interface somewhat.
304 - scrollbar-xterm now uses the selected scrollColor instead of fg
305 (found by Aiviru).
306 - disabled linux kernel bug workaround again: disabling it gives
307 a 50% speed hit on affected machines, while enabling it gives
308 a similar speed hit to screen, which is likely the more common
309 case to work around for :/
310 - urxvt::rend2mask perl function, and utilization of it by matcher
311 (patch by Moshe Kamensky).
312 - use perl:matcher on a keysym to open most recently displayed URL.
313 - with matcher, when multiple patterns match, last wins, not first.
314 - fix make and make install with srcdir != builddir (exg).
315 - updated bundled libptytty to fix a bug where the tty would be kept
316 open (see the libptytty ChangeLog for details).
317 - delay setting the IUTF8 flag to after the tty settings have been
318 set so its value does not get lost (reported and analysed by Andrei
319 Paskevich).
320 - rip out support for obsolete sgtty.h interface.
321 - rip out support for non-POSIX termios variants.
322 - update libptytty.
323 - update iom.C, make it call ptytty::sanitise_stdfd on init.
324 - when !XFT, change rounding of colours to use a less correct formula to
325 meet user expectancies (#aaa becomes #a000a000a000 not #9f9f9f9f9f9f).
326 - change the starting offset of the pixmap set with backgroundPixmap
327 from (50,50) to (0,0) (exg).
328 - fix a typo in button_release, now meta-button2 request the value of
329 the Clipboard selection as it should (patch by Serge Koksharov).
330 - fix a bug in drawing a cell with a nonspacing char when using an xft
331 font with inheritPixmap and tintColor (exg).
332
3338.1 Thu Dec 7 22:27:25 CET 2006
334 - ケリスマスプレゼント - zomg!!1, it's too early!!!
335 - fix the assumption that chars < 256 are single-width. Now
336 only assume this for codepoints 32 to 126 (reported by Dai.H.).
337 - $term->strwidth returned wide chars as width 1, because some jerk
338 confused min and max. Fixing this also fixes xim-onthespot.
339 Reported by Takano Akio.
340 - secondaryScroll is now enabled by default (as per the manpage),
341 reported by exg.
342 - correct the description of [percent]color rgba format in the manpage.
343 - incorporated macosx-clipboard extension by Samuel Ljungkvist.
344 - ignore (some) useless focus events (reported by mmc).
345 - updated compose table to unicode 5.0.0.
346
3478.0 Thu Nov 2 18:35:19 CET 2006
348 - combining characters cleared the area instead of creating an overlay,
349 thus losing the ability to draw combining characters properly in most
350 circumstances (reported by exg).
351 - specified fonts were incorrectly morphed to bold/italic according to the
352 basefont, even if explicitly specified (tracked down by tpope).
353 - fixed urxvt::strwidth to calculate width in the same way as screen.C.
354 - fix a crash caused by passing negative widths to overlay functions.
355 - added 'matcher' extension by tpope, replacing the mark-urls extension.
356 - improve url regex to match anything www.* (tpope).
357 - fixed bug with outline cursor color being wrong after xft fonts.
358 - update to libptytty-1.0.
359 - give proper diagnostic when RXVT_SOCKET is too long instead of
360 corrupting the stack (patch by exg).
361 - display current terminal locale in option menu.
362 - urxvtd no longer crashes when the client sends an inaccessible
363 working directory (reported by Roland Baer, possibly fixes gentoo
364 bug #143985).
365 - fixed many minor issues reported by Roland Baer.
366 - Leonid Khramov spotted a minor glitch in rxvtfont.C that
367 should not have any consequences, but was buggy nonetheless.
368 - manpage fix by exg.
369
3707.9 Mon Aug 7 18:16:07 CEST 2006
371 - fix the crashing bug people encountered with 7.8 + urxvtd + perl
372 + transparency. Ought to fix debian bug #380348.
373 - fix urxvtc.1.pod: it actually claimed -pty-fd would not work. But
374 it does! :->
375 - rxvt_fatal() in case the locale string is too long for our static buffer.
376 - fixed many, many, typos in the manpages (patch supplied by ves).
377
3787.8 Mon Jul 17 21:00:46 CEST 2006
379 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: this version will always read ~/.Xdefaults,
380 earlier versions only read it if display-resources (usually from
381 .Xresources) are not set. This avoids the #1 FAQ ("why isn't my
382 resource used") and seems to be logical behaviour, too. .Xdefaults
383 resources have a lower priority than display-specific resources.
384 - add "kuake" perl extension that does a similar thing to the kuake
385 terminal emulator (see man urxvtperl).
386 - use less "correct" color scaling that is compatible with libX11 and
387 Xft (avoids off-by-one colors resulting in striped backgrounds).
388 - the "depth" resource is now respected.
389 - preset the searchable-scrollback pattern with "(?i)" to default search
390 to case-insensitivity. Will automatically be cleared when typing an
391 uppercase character.
392 - add FORCE_UNBUFFERED_XFT define to features.h.
393 - re-enabled highlightcolor support with --enable-frills, based on
394 a patch by Martin Stubenschrott.
395 - double-buffered xft drawing did suffer from pixel offset issues
396 when pixmap transparency was enabled.
397 - strategically add # to the url-match regexes, as we really want to
398 match common URIs not common URLs. Reported by Aaron Griffin.
399 - moved on_osc_seq to on_osc_seq_perl and added a more
400 generic osc_seq.
401 - fix a bug causing double callback invocations when perl hooks
402 were invoked recursively.
403 - the automove-background extension now properly works when the
404 pixmap gets reset with an osc sequence (sqweek).
405 - selection-pastebin did not work properly with non-latin1-characters.
406 - apply colorUL only when the text colour is the default fg
407 (patch by Wu Fengguang).
408 - removed rxvtlib.h from the tarball, it had no reason to be there
409 (spotted by Decklin Foster).
410 - fix compiling with TRANSPARENT but !XPM_BACKGROUND, as reported
411 by omatunto_.
412 - slap in a using namespace std, might help on platforms that don't
413 follow C++ closely enough.
414 - fix mailto url regex, spotted within milliseconds by Jost Krieger.
415 - applied fade_color_update_func.patch by WU Fengguang.
416 - fix a bug where (due to an optimisation in av_delete), hiding the
417 bottom-most overlay would hide two overlays.
418
4197.7 Tue Feb 21 12:32:49 CET 2006
420 - use double-buffered drawing (xft fonts only). On many driver/hardware
421 combination this actually increases xft drawing speed, at the expense
422 of more network bandwidth and slight nausea on the side of the author.
423 - readline perl extension now requires shift-click instead of a normal
424 click, and eats the click.
425 - tabbed perl extension now supports -e.
426 - disabled graphics-exposures on the main drawing GC, report any
427 refresh bugs please.
428 - improve property handling for -pe tabbed: avoid unnecessary property
429 changes (for kde's benefit) at the expense of extra round-trips,
430 improve size hint setting.
431 - modified XIM according to a patch sent by Takano Akio that sets
432 the preedit rectangle for OverTheSpot, which helps some input methods
433 to correctly position their preedit window.
434 - un-optimise the line clearing on newly scrolled-in lines a bit: the
435 former reasoning was that any fg colour on default bg looks the same
436 in empty spaces, but that's not true when reversing (e.g. selection),
437 so also check for matching fg colours. This fixes the problem where
438 selecting newly scrolled-in lines would exhibit wrong colours.
439 - fix a bug in the perl interface causing focus in events to generate
440 focus out perl events, causing bad focus effects with -pe tabbed.
441 - fix a race resulting in a crash on exiting.
442 - fix a with --disable-xft that caused xfreecolors to be called on
443 colors never allocated, resulting in aborts (reported by Paco-Paco).
444 - resources on non-initial screens weren't refetched correctly
445 (reported by Paco-Paco).
446 - fix a bug in xcopyarea pass and _disable_ it, as it seems not to be
447 working in either rxvt-unicode nor in the original rxvt.
448 - removed undocumented -exec alias for the -e option.
449
4507.6 Fri Feb 10 08:52:36 CET 2006
451 - changed interpretation of [alpha] colour prefix.
452 - +option now really sets the option to default, instead of using the
453 resource value.
454 - options that require an argument now really _require_ an argument.
455 - the tabbed extension now forwards focus and key events to the
456 relevant tab window.
457 - tab colours are now configurable and have sensible defaults
458 (initial patch by hednod).
459 - option menu is extendable, readline, selection and
460 selection-autotransform can now be disabled/enabled at runtime.
461 - forcing a configure event to tabbed subwindows with -pe tabbed, for
462 the benefit of automove-background.
463 - the automove-background extension added a wrong constant offset.
464 - force refresh of XA_RESOURCE_STRING on virtual reconnect.
465 - return exit status 2 in urxvtc when urxvtd couldn't be contacted.
466 - the linux yield hack is back, now using usleep, and enabled only on
467 __linux__.
468 - further round trip eliminations in the !XFT case by remembering
469 the colour components.
470 - plain scrollbar works better with -sr.
471 - fixed half-shadow scrollbar look.
472 - more colour rtt optimisations.
473 - properly(?) free colours on window close.
474 - reorganised the FAQ into multiple sections.
475 - add ISO646.1991-IRV to the list of supported codesets.
476 - minor libptytty update.
477
4787.5 Tue Jan 31 15:15:43 CET 2006
479 - further improvements to the careful mode detection, and font width
480 detection:
481 - fully double-wide fonts will now be correctly treated,
482 - overlap detection was improved.
483 - detect totally broken fonts (usually synthesized by xft).
484 - careful mode forced refresh sometimes clashed with blinking,
485 causing unnecessary screen redraws.
486 - better handling of XFT combining characters.
487 - enable antialiasing for some replacement fonts, as they
488 might get used for other encodings which really need it, later.
489 - remove spacing=100 from all default fonts, as this creates totally
490 weird spacing (5 times normal) with xft.
491 - removed iso10646 fallback, as xorgs iso10646 encoded fonts are mostly
492 broken.
493 - removed gnu unifont fallback, all combining characters are broken.
494 - replace named colours by xorg's rgb.txt equivalents, to
495 reduce round trip time on startup, and short-cut allocation
496 of rgb:rr/gg/bb for xft.
497 - short-cut allocation of rgb values in the xlib case
498 (patch by Paco-Paco).
499 - overhauled color management: smaller codesize, alpha support.
500 - support "rgba:rrrr/gggg/bbbb/aaaa" color specifications and
501 an "[alpha]" prefix.
502 - try to work around Xft and Xrender forcing everything to be 100%
503 transparent. Long Live Xft!
504 - do not include X11/Intrinsic.h anymore, directly use
505 Xlib/Xutil/Xresource directly.
506 - try to find a nearest matching color when color allocation fails
507 on a pseudocolor screen.
508 - SYNCCVS: compared to rxvt-cvs 2006-01-28, no relevant changes.
509 - fix version report (DA) (which was unfortunately broken).
510 - changed version number report again, now to emulate xterm closer.
511 - added the OSC sequence 702 to detect the urxvt version number.
512 - small configure updates.
513 - further RTT optimisations.
514 - backported clean-up patches for makefiles and documentation from
515 the debian package.
516 - updated doc/rxvt-unicode.spec file. It's still not maintained here,
517 but much newer than the old one.
518
5197.4 Sat Jan 28 15:26:27 CET 2006
520 - screen background wasn't always erased properly when scrolling,
521 - re-enabled clearing optimisation disabled in 7.4pre.
522 - small configure updates for libptytty.
523 - fixed version options: line output.
524 - removed stoopid debugging message left in the code.
525
5267.3 Wed Jan 25 22:47:35 CET 2006
527 - don't let iso14755 or mouse reporting get into the way of perl
528 (could lead to global grabs never being cleared).
529 - experimental OnTheSpot editing support (-pe xim-onthespot).
530 - moved Shift-Button2 paste combination to Meta-Button2.
531 - the cutchars resource will now be respected and used by the
532 selection extension.
533 - added the "remote-clipboard" extension which just runs external
534 commands to fetch and store the selection data.
535 - added -depth switch that tries to get a different visual depth
536 than the default (replaces the old PREFER_24_BIT logic).
537 - removed (unused) arabic presentation form composing sequences.
538 - be more strict when deciding that a core font glyph is too wide and
539 needs the careful rendering mode.
540 - allow more leeway for italic fonts when deciding that a character is
541 too wide and needs careful mode.
542 - redraw even more characters around characters using careful mode.
543 - made selection-pastebin fully asynchronous.
544 - reduced number of server turnarounds at startup by allocating
545 atoms only once per display.
546 - renamed on_keyboard_command to on_user_command.
547 - changed version sos (ESC [ > c) response to be more compatible with
548 xterm.
549
5507.2 Sun Jan 22 21:58:16 CET 2006
551 - bugfix: urxvt (not urxvtd) did not correctly handle multiple
552 environments necessary, which resulted in segfaults within
553 getenv (reproducable: urxvt -fn 9x15, open a menu once,
554 ctrl-shift-672c).
555 - bugfix: the selection speedup in in 7.1 unfortunately caused
556 non-ascii characters to enlarge/move the selection.
557 - bugfix: resizing sometimes leaked lines from the secondary to
558 the primary screen.
559 - bugfix: reducing window size while large amounts of text were output
560 could lead to an assertion failure.
21 - added "tabbed" extension that provides a crude tabbed terminal. 561 - added "tabbed" extension that provides a crude tabbed terminal.
22 - added "readline" extension that allows cursor positioning 562 - added "readline" extension that allows cursor positioning
23 via mouse clicks. 563 via mouse clicks.

565 with shift - mouse button 2.
24 - fixed the automove-background extension to ignore coordinates 566 - fixed the automove-background extension to ignore coordinates
25 in non-synthetic events. 567 in non-synthetic events.
568 - created a separate libpty for portable and secure
569 pty/tty/utmp/wtmp/lastlog handling, and include it in rxvt-unicode.
570 - the non-terminfo visual bell now works asynchronously, so
571 continuous ASCI BELs in one terminal do no longer monopolise the
572 whole urxvt[d] process.
573 - support some *BSD makes (for the time being, gnu make is a safe bet).
574 - work around bugs in FreeBSD's gcc.
575 - implemented some *BSD fixes in configure.
576 - removed support for obsolete offix dnd protocol.
