197.2 23TODO: perl selection object creation/destruction
24 - match character-wise rather than byte-wise in selection
25 extension again. perl 5.8.9+ is required to avoid extreme
26 slowdowns. Fixes debian bugs #523072, #616463.
27 - fix a possible crash if the INCR transfer process for a
28 selection property timeouts and at least one chunk is
29 received. (Emanuele Giaquinta)
30 - work around as memory corruption bug in xorg's XrmSetDatabase (apparently
31 broken since http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/xorg-commit-diffs/2004-March/000239.html).
32 - fix memory corruption bug when custom command sequences bound to keys
33 were injected into an already-full pty input buffer.
34 - gdk-pixbuf is autodetected by default and preferred over libafterimage.
35 - do not prepend a newline to the selection text when the starting line
36 of the selection is not highlighted (Emanuele Giaquinta).
37 - don't swap perl env with real env, save and restore it, just in case
38 we ever get recursive perl invocations. also saves a bit of codespace
39 with gcc.
40 - fix various memory leaks (Emanuele Giaquinta).
41 - fix typo in kIC terminfo capability, debian bug #446444.
42 - document 'thickness' resource.
43 - fix debian bug #504817, to the extent possible.
44 - try to detect byte order at compile time, saves a couple of
45 hundred bytes, if your compiler is smart enough.
46 - add support for previewing the pasted data in confirm-paste
47 (Emanuele Giaquinta).
48 - added "newlines to spaces" option in selection-popup.
49 - actually enabled solaris event ports backend (was disabled by accident).
50 - revert to 38400 baud max., mission accomplished.
51 - no longer create scary "pty_fill: PLEASE REPORT" message, instead,
52 silently drain the input (problem is well understood now).
53 - no longer swallow rob nation's own graphics mode commands.
54
559.10 Mon Dec 13 17:43:52 CET 2010
56 - the "schmorp=north korea dickey=south korea" release.
57 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: make OSC 20 simpler and more correct
58 (Emanuele Giaquinta).
59 - if options were compiled out, this could lead to the option
60 count to be defined wrongly. This is likely behind the
61 failures with gcc 4.5.
62 - explicitly depend on fontconfig and xrender when xft support
63 is enabled. Although the public Xft api uses types from
64 both, in Xft 2.2.0 these libs are private
65 dependencies only thanks to an idiotic behaviour of
66 pkg-config that was added to workaround cases like this one.
67 Fixes linking when using GNU ld with --as-needed or GNU gold
68 (based on patch by Jan Palus).
69 - fix minor memory leaks in urxvt and urxvtd.
70 - fix regression in urxvtd that prevented options from being correctly
71 set (reported by Michal Vaner).
72 - implement xterm's horribly broken 1005 mouse reporting mode,
73 and an alternative 1015 mode that works in non-utf-8 locales
74 and has fewer limitations.
75 - fix a possible bug where mouse notifications didn't work after
76 startup for the upper left corner.
77 - implement our own pixbuf to pixmap rendering to get rid of
78 dependency on buggy gdk-pixbuf-xlib. Only truecolor visuals
79 are supported (Emanuele Giaquinta).
80 - apply tinting before shading when both operations are requested.
81 Previously they were intermixed when lightening and the result
82 was inaccurate and confusing. Note that now a black tint yields a
83 completely black image, regardless of shading (Emanuele Giaquinta).
84 - avoid spurious redraws of the bg image when bg is transparent or
85 when using 'root' mode (Emanuele Giaquinta).
86 - fix build on XFree86.
87 - dynamically number options according to compiletime requirements.
88 For the extra saved byte. Or so. Yay.
89 - start options at one, not zero. Wastes a bit per terminal. Maybe.
90 saves 50 instruction bytes. Possibly.
91
929.09 Sat Nov 13 01:39:07 CET 2010
93 - NOTICE: this release updates terminfo/termcap.
94 - the bestest release ever.
95 - it was verified that urxvt handles µ and μ correctly.
96 - add support for blending and blurring with XRender (Emanuele Giaquinta).
97 - add support for using gdk-pixbuf as image backend (Emanuele Giaquinta).
98 - cleanup and minor fixes of the image code (Emanuele Giaquinta).
99 - new perl extension "confirm-paste" (Emanuele Giaquinta).
100 - new on_tt_paste perl hook and tt_paste perl binding (Emanuele Giaquinta).
101 - new on_bell perl hook (Emanuele Giaquinta).
102 - searchable-scrollback no longer ignores the first line
103 (Emanuele Giaquinta).
104 - properly set VSTATUS in termios for *BSD (reported by Ed Schouten).
105 - fix utmpx detection on upcoming FreeBSD 9.
106 - Use COMPOUND_TEXT encoding for WM_NAME/WM_ICON_NAME value when it
107 is not fully convertible to STRING (patch by James Cloos).
108 - fix a buffer overflow that would cause wrong key sequences to
109 be generated for numpad keys (introduced in 9.05).
110 - fix definition of sgr0 to work around limitations in luit.
111 - extend ISO 14755 5.4 mode to also print the font name of the
112 characters other than first one in the selected cell
113 (Emanuele Giaquinta).
114 - new iso14755 option to disable ISO 14755 at runtime
115 (Emanuele Giaquinta).
116 - make sure pagewise scrolling scrolls at least one line
117 (found by Mikachu).
118 - remove deprecated OSC 18 / 19 and make OSC 17 / 19 apply to
119 highlightColor / highlightTextColor (Emanuele Giaquinta).
120 - add highlightTextColor resource to change the foreground colour of
121 highlighted characters (Emanuele Giaquinta).
122 - make highlightColor apply also to selected cells with reverse video
123 but not to non selected cells with reverse video (Emanuele Giaquinta).
124 - remove colorRV resource (it was enabled only with frills off).
125 - fix numlock handling, the most longstanding bug to date (Emanuele Giaquinta).
126 - reduce the number of custom bits to 4, to make room
127 for 256 colours.
128 - add support for 256 colors (Emanuele Giaquinta, Marc Lehmann).
129 - add rxvt-unicode-256color terminfo and use it by default in 256 colors mode.
130 - update rxvt-unicode terminfo to state 7744 colour pairs to cover all
131 88*88 possible pairs.
132 - actually added macosx-clipboard-native, which should have been in
133 the 9.07 release but had been forgotten.
134 - fix hang if DECAWM is not set and there are not enough columns to insert a
135 character (Emanuele Giaquinta).
136 - cub1 ("backspace") will now respect wrapping when past the rightmost column,
137 working around a shortcoming of most tty line discipline's line editing.
138 - add support for grabbing the clipboard selection and extend
139 selection{_clear,_grab,} perl bindings to optionally work
140 on the clipboard selection (based on patch by Dana Jansens).
141 - no longer force CERASE to BACKSPACE - use the system default. affects
142 default value for VERASE only when no compatible setting for
143 backspacekey was given.
144 - use higher than 38400 baudrate setting, if detected.
145 - erase screen would clear to the wrong background when blinking
146 was enabled (which selects high intensity under some circumstances).
147 - scr_kill_char didn't touch the line.
148 - upgrade and port to libev-4.01.
149 - enabled solaris event ports and kqueue backends (if available).
150
1519.07 Wed Dec 30 07:07:18 CET 2009
152 - port to glibc-2.10 changes (strchr etc. returning const char *
153 in C++), based on patches by Milos Jakubicek and Oliver Mader.
154 - the binary search algorithm to find precomposed characters
155 was faulty, skipping some possible combinations (found by
156 Mikachu).
157 - new -letterspace option, patch by Mark H. Wilkinson.
158 - enable --mlock option for urxvt with frills on
159 systems supporting it (patch by Russell Harmon).
160 - urxvt did not compile without frills enabled
161 (analysed by Matthew Rosewarne).
162 - correctly reset the mbstate after an illegal
163 input sequence when handling terminal output (Emanuele Giaquinta).
164 - avoid redrawing wide characters with combining enabled on every
165 refresh (reported by Mikachu).
166 - fix a typo preventing the ISO-646.1991 character set from being
167 recognized (http://achurch.org/patch-pile/).
168 - better warning for x11 font encoding detection failures, also,
169 try to deduce encoding from both font properties and name
170 (adapted from http://achurch.org/patch-pile/).
171 - resizing the window with the scrollbar disabled via the escapes
172 sequence could make the window bigger again (Mikachu).
173 - make sure the alignment for fd passing control messages
174 is correct and work around some NetBSD issues (Taylor R Campbell).
175 - update to libptytty 1.3.
176 - replace macosx-clipboard by a nicer version by Reza Jelveh, and move
177 the old version to macosx-clipboard-native.
178 - document the -uc option (Emanuele Giaquinta).
179 - assertions in libev are now enabled depending on frills.
180 - update AnyEvent implementation to version 5.23 API.
181 - work around arrogant bsd idiocies again: netbsd spills the default
182 namespace with lots of symbols "for gnu/gcc compatibility" even
183 though neither of them does it, and then calls the rest of the world
184 in need of fixing. go figure.
185 - on_keyboard_command is on_user_command (patch by Michael Witten).
186 - setting the selection from perl will now reset the selection screen
187 to the current screen. the screen can be manipulated using
188 the new ->selection_screen method.
189 - implement --enable-assert configure option and get rid of DEBUG_STRICT
190 (based on patch by Emanuele Giaquinta).
191 - fix printpipe data output (patch by Emanuele Giaquinta).
192 - allow `xxx' quoting style for perl selection.
193 - upgrade to libev-3.9 prerelease.
194 - updated compose tables to unicode 5.2.0.
195
1969.06 Sat Nov 8 17:47:18 CET 2008
197 - NOTICE: this release updates terminfo/termcap.
198 - updates libev to 3.48.
199 - the aterm code now frees the as visual and image manager objects
200 when a window was closed.
201 - do not (wrongly) adjust the virtual line length inside
202 scr_insdel_chars/ERASE (Miroslav Lichvar).
203 - fix an issue where wide tab characters caused character shifts
204 when part of them was deleted (tracked down by Miroslav Lichvar).
205 - artificially enlargen the previous character at the end of a line
206 when trying to output a character that doesn't fit. looks ugly, but
207 makes copy&paste work.
208 - remove bogus "setuid/setgid security issues" from rxvt.1.pod, they
209 no longer apply.
210 - the urgency hint is now cleared on both focus in and focus out.
211 - cache urgency hint locally to avoid server rtt on every focus change.
212 - perl 5.10 needs PERL_SYS_INIT3 on hppa.
213 - ignore byte-order marks and do not treat them like combining characters.
214 - fix build issue when CURSOR_BLINK is not defined (Emanuele Giaquinta).
215 - do some µ-optimisations to the character fast path.
216 - use a less cunning, but more robust algorithm to avoid one terminal
217 monopolising the whole process by outputting a lot of text.
218 - try to work around linux first breaking sched_yield and now breaking
219 the only known workaround.
220 - new option -icon to set _NET_WM_ICON (based on patch by Frank Schmitt).
221 - initialise the as visual only on demand, instead of unconditionally,
222 to save memory in the common case of not using visual gimmicks.
223 - try to work around bugs in a few wm's that erroneously resize
224 client windows on hint property updates by temporarily
225 disabling size hints.
226 - implement the DECSTR soft reset sequence and use it for tput init,
227 and make hard RIS and DECSTR both reset more private modes, such
228 as mouse reporting.
229 - redundantly clear mouse reporting and a few other states in
230 tput init/tput reset, for older urxvts.
231 - partial/full clear screens did cause flickering and possibly pixel
232 droppings when urxvt viewed the scrollback buffer.
233 - use current rendition style in DCH sequence.
234 - the 132/80 mode switch no longer forces a screen reset.
235 - add an osc sequence to change the border colour (Emanuele Giaquinta).
236 - new perl extension "overlay-osc", for status displays and the like.
237 - fix some minor cursor drawing issues with overlays by allowing
238 overlays to modify screen flags (to disable the cursor themselves).
239 - work around programs not restoring rstyle before rmcup
240 (analysed by Miroslav Lichvar).
241
2429.05 Sun Jun 15 20:09:20 CEST 2008
243 - new option --cd/chdir to set the starting working directory.
244 - tabbed extension now starts in the "correct" working directory.
245 - work around fedora 9 providing isastream but not the relevant
246 header file for it (report by Tuncer Ayaz).
247 - upgrade libev, fixing a bug in the select backend.
248 with more than 31 file descriptors on non-linux 64 bit systems.
249 - correctly reset the multibyte state to the initial one
250 after EILSEQ (patch by Neil Booth). This fixes the
251 issue of rxvt-unicode not properly displaying text after an illegal
252 sequence on NetBSD and probably other systems.
253 - more intelligent property handling with -pe tabbed, works around
254 broken window managers (kwm et al.), saves bandwidth and should
255 help working window managers as well.
256 - made tabs moveable (based on a patch by Petr Machata).
257 - implement ESC [ 3 K as a more rational alternative to ESC [ 0 K.
258 - support relative paths for RXVT_SOCKET in urxvtd.
259 - the tabbed extension now blindly copies over all (rxvt-) resources
260 from the toplevel window to the children.
261 - better diagnostic on 0x0 window geometries.
262 - update AnyEvent API to version 3.4 and above.
263 - document the default value of :0 for DISPLAY.
264 - rename perl method XChangeWindowProperty to XChangeProperty.
265
2669.02 Tue Jan 29 11:58:36 CET 2008
267 - the "exg makes everybody happy" release.
268 - fix build with !xft.
269 - always compile in plain style scrollbar (simplifies code and looks great).
270
2719.01 Sat Jan 26 20:49:27 CET 2008
272 - be more aggressive about handling X events, this seems to be required
273 with newer xlibs (should fix the "screen stays black until event is
274 received" problem, again :)
275 - add buffered resource to control xft double-buffering.
276
2779.0 Fri Jan 25 19:34:04 CET 2008
278 - fix a crash bug where urxvtd would crash when urxvtc was called
279 with wrong arguments (I wish debian maintainers in general would
280 report bugs and their proposed fixes to the original package maintainers
281 instead of sitting on them for good measure to see if anybody notices).
282 - drawing xft compose characters was causing garbage to be drawn.
283 - correctly clear xft character background in all cases.
284 - implement bracketed paste mode (xterm private mode 2004).
285 - improve documentation on alpha channel handling, make urxvt
286 work better on servers lacking the RENDER extension when alpha
287 channels or background images are used.
288 - check for refresh after initialising to avoid staying blank
289 till the first event arrives. or so.
290 - the FORCE_UNBUFFERED_XFT feature macro works again.
291 - continuously update transparency while moving/resizing now.
292 - OSC 39/49 are deprecated and aliased to OSC 10/11.
293 - cub1 now acts as advertised (and ignores the "wrapped" state).
294 - the 132/80 mode switch now forces a height of 24, too, and
295 resets the terminal.
296 - scrollbar code cleanups.
297 - stopping children is no longer confused with children exiting.
298 - removed (undocumented) #aarrggbb format.
299 - updated to libev 3.0.
300
3018.9 Mon Dec 24 07:51:40 CET 2007
302 - fix the issue where urxvtd would not immediately close a window
303 when the command exited but only on the next X event.
304 - changed terminfo file not to use application keypad mode.
305 - fix the issue where making a selection in one urxvtd window
306 would not clear it visually in another.
307 - fix an issue of urxvt not getting background pixmap updates
308 and flickering after bg pixmap changes (reported by Mikachu).
309 - fix redraw bug in xterm scrollbar with -sr (reported by Mikachu).
310 - correctly provide dependencies for libev (µikachu).
311 - minor code reorganisations and cleanups.
312 - be more robust in case the urxvt-popup extension cannot be loaded.
313
3148.8 Sat Dec 15 19:40:39 CET 2007
315 - option -C was aliased to all unsupported options, activating
316 options that shouldn't be compiled in, leading to interesting
317 effects.
318 - updated libev, working around a bug in linux 2.4, curing the
319 symptom of urxvt not closing its window on shell exit. also
320 fixes a problem with urxvt not refreshing.
321 - the text blink callback was called even when no blinking
322 text was visible.
323 - pre-8.4 slipwheeling behaviour has been reinstated, with
324 some minor improvements.
325 - streamlined x events processing to only flush once per
326 display and not once per terminal window.
327 - quite a bit of minor code cleanups and codesize optimisations.
328
3298.7 Sun Nov 25 10:23:49 CET 2007
330 - update libev with an important bugfix that would cause crashes
331 when closing windows (when using rxvtd, and update is recommended).
332 - do not compile in the block builtin graphics with --disable-frills.
333
3348.6 Fri Nov 23 14:10:57 CET 2007
335 - upgrade libev to disable kqueue on anything but netbsd as it
336 seems to be broken everywhere else w.r.t. ptys.
337 - allow for spurious event notifications, as at least epoll and
338 especially solaris ports like to lie about them (symptoms:
339 urxvt "hangs" until there is some x11 related activity).
340 - -keysym command line options are now subjected to xlib parsing.
341 - add 'xrm' option analogous to Xt one.
342
3438.5a Wed Nov 21 10:16:33 CET 2007
344 - make it compile with --disable-transparency.
345
3468.5 Wed Nov 21 05:19:20 CET 2007
347 - expect major portability issues in this release: please test and report.
348 - converted from the veritable io manager event loop to
349 the high performance libev (http://software.schmorp.de/pkg/libev).
350 - minor tuning to the perl selection (include single words and more quoting chars).
351 - fix memory leak in pixmap code.
352 - fix a serious bug while setting the XIM destroy callback
353 on (typical) 64 bit systems.
354 - automove-background functionality re-implemented internally using :root op in pixmap
355 geometry string. For example: rxvt -pixmap "image.jpg;:root"
356 - do not link rxvtc against every lib on the planet anymore.
357 - parallel builds should work once more.
358
3598.4 Sat Oct 27 14:02:13 CEST 2007
360 - overhaul of the transparency/pixmap code (sasha).
361 - fix possible race between visual bell and poweron.
362 (reported by Martin von Gagern, gentoo?).
363 - urxvt -e no longer crashes the child.
364 - fixed some minor memleaks on incorrect usage or
365 missing DISPLAY.
366 - implement xterm 1002/1003 mouse tracking modes (exg).
367 - source code organisational cleanups (exg).
368 - updated io_manager.
369
3708.3 Wed Aug 1 20:21:31 CEST 2007
371 - new option: skipScroll/-ss, enabled by default.
372 - go with the times and expect x11 library files in /usr/lib, not
373 /usr/X11R6/lib.
374 - initial transparency improvement/afterimage support
375 patch by Sasha Vasko.
376 - add urgentOnBell resource to set the urgency hint
377 (patch by Philip Paeps).
378 - do not process focus events caused by grabs
379 (patch by Mikachu).
380 - add iso14755_52 resource to disable iso14755 5.2 (exg).
381 - add binding for backspace in iso14755 5.1 to remove the last
382 digit (exg).
383 - better option handling, support more than 30 options (exg).
384 - nuke reconf script, serves no purpose anymore.
385 - fixed and documented matcher/on_user_command processing in matcher
386 extension (tpope).
387 - compile out of the box on Solaris 10 (exg).
388 - fix MappingNotify events (reported by Stephan Walter).
389 - zero-initialise mwmhints, this seems to solve all sorts of minor
390 problems.
391
3928.2 Sat Feb 17 21:35:28 CET 2007
393 - fix make depend in src/, reported by exg.
394 - fixed typo in urxvt::GET_CUSTOM, causing the result to be wrong.
395 (patch by Sergey Vlasov).
396 - unbundled iom perl interface somewhat.
397 - scrollbar-xterm now uses the selected scrollColor instead of fg
398 (found by Aiviru).
399 - disabled linux kernel bug workaround again: disabling it gives
400 a 50% speed hit on affected machines, while enabling it gives
401 a similar speed hit to screen, which is likely the more common
402 case to work around for :/
403 - urxvt::rend2mask perl function, and utilization of it by matcher
404 (patch by Moshe Kamensky).
405 - use perl:matcher on a keysym to open most recently displayed URL.
406 - with matcher, when multiple patterns match, last wins, not first.
407 - fix make and make install with srcdir != builddir (exg).
408 - updated bundled libptytty to fix a bug where the tty would be kept
409 open (see the libptytty ChangeLog for details).
410 - delay setting the IUTF8 flag to after the tty settings have been
411 set so its value does not get lost (reported and analysed by Andrei
412 Paskevich).
413 - rip out support for obsolete sgtty.h interface.
414 - rip out support for non-POSIX termios variants.
415 - update libptytty.
416 - update iom.C, make it call ptytty::sanitise_stdfd on init.
417 - when !XFT, change rounding of colours to use a less correct formula to
418 meet user expectancies (#aaa becomes #a000a000a000 not #9f9f9f9f9f9f).
419 - change the starting offset of the pixmap set with backgroundPixmap
420 from (50,50) to (0,0) (exg).
421 - fix a typo in button_release, now meta-button2 request the value of
422 the Clipboard selection as it should (patch by Serge Koksharov).
423 - fix a bug in drawing a cell with a nonspacing char when using an xft
424 font with inheritPixmap and tintColor (exg).
425
4268.1 Thu Dec 7 22:27:25 CET 2006
427 - ｹﾘｽﾏｽﾌ゚ﾚｾ゙ﾝﾄ - zomg!!1, it's too early!!!
428 - fix the assumption that chars < 256 are single-width. Now
429 only assume this for codepoints 32 to 126 (reported by Dai.H.).
430 - $term->strwidth returned wide chars as width 1, because some jerk
431 confused min and max. Fixing this also fixes xim-onthespot.
432 Reported by Takano Akio.
433 - secondaryScroll is now enabled by default (as per the manpage),
434 reported by exg.
435 - correct the description of [percent]color rgba format in the manpage.
436 - incorporated macosx-clipboard extension by Samuel Ljungkvist.
437 - ignore (some) useless focus events (reported by mmc).
438 - updated compose table to unicode 5.0.0.
439
4408.0 Thu Nov 2 18:35:19 CET 2006
441 - combining characters cleared the area instead of creating an overlay,
442 thus losing the ability to draw combining characters properly in most
443 circumstances (reported by exg).
444 - specified fonts were incorrectly morphed to bold/italic according to the
445 basefont, even if explicitly specified (tracked down by tpope).
446 - fixed urxvt::strwidth to calculate width in the same way as screen.C.
447 - fix a crash caused by passing negative widths to overlay functions.
448 - added 'matcher' extension by tpope, replacing the mark-urls extension.
449 - improve url regex to match anything www.* (tpope).
450 - fixed bug with outline cursor color being wrong after xft fonts.
451 - update to libptytty-1.0.
452 - give proper diagnostic when RXVT_SOCKET is too long instead of
453 corrupting the stack (patch by exg).
454 - display current terminal locale in option menu.
455 - urxvtd no longer crashes when the client sends an inaccessible
456 working directory (reported by Roland Baer, possibly fixes gentoo
457 bug #143985).
458 - fixed many minor issues reported by Roland Baer.
459 - Leonid Khramov spotted a minor glitch in rxvtfont.C that
460 should not have any consequences, but was buggy nonetheless.
461 - manpage fix by exg.
462
4637.9 Mon Aug 7 18:16:07 CEST 2006
464 - fix the crashing bug people encountered with 7.8 + urxvtd + perl
465 + transparency. Ought to fix debian bug #380348.
466 - fix urxvtc.1.pod: it actually claimed -pty-fd would not work. But
467 it does! :->
468 - rxvt_fatal() in case the locale string is too long for our static buffer.
469 - fixed many, many, typos in the manpages (patch supplied by ves).
470
4717.8 Mon Jul 17 21:00:46 CEST 2006
472 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: this version will always read ~/.Xdefaults,
473 earlier versions only read it if display-resources (usually from
474 .Xresources) are not set. This avoids the #1 FAQ ("why isn't my
475 resource used") and seems to be logical behaviour, too. .Xdefaults
476 resources have a lower priority than display-specific resources.
477 - add "kuake" perl extension that does a similar thing to the kuake
478 terminal emulator (see man urxvtperl).
479 - use less "correct" color scaling that is compatible with libX11 and
480 Xft (avoids off-by-one colors resulting in striped backgrounds).
481 - the "depth" resource is now respected.
482 - preset the searchable-scrollback pattern with "(?i)" to default search
483 to case-insensitivity. Will automatically be cleared when typing an
484 uppercase character.
485 - add FORCE_UNBUFFERED_XFT define to features.h.
486 - re-enabled highlightcolor support with --enable-frills, based on
487 a patch by Martin Stubenschrott.
488 - double-buffered xft drawing did suffer from pixel offset issues
489 when pixmap transparency was enabled.
490 - strategically add # to the url-match regexes, as we really want to
491 match common URIs not common URLs. Reported by Aaron Griffin.
492 - moved on_osc_seq to on_osc_seq_perl and added a more
493 generic osc_seq.
494 - fix a bug causing double callback invocations when perl hooks
495 were invoked recursively.
496 - the automove-background extension now properly works when the
497 pixmap gets reset with an osc sequence (sqweek).
498 - selection-pastebin did not work properly with non-latin1-characters.
499 - apply colorUL only when the text colour is the default fg
500 (patch by Wu Fengguang).
501 - removed rxvtlib.h from the tarball, it had no reason to be there
502 (spotted by Decklin Foster).
503 - fix compiling with TRANSPARENT but !XPM_BACKGROUND, as reported
504 by omatunto_.
505 - slap in a using namespace std, might help on platforms that don't
506 follow C++ closely enough.
507 - fix mailto url regex, spotted within milliseconds by Jost Krieger.
508 - applied fade_color_update_func.patch by WU Fengguang.
509 - fix a bug where (due to an optimisation in av_delete), hiding the
510 bottom-most overlay would hide two overlays.
511
5127.7 Tue Feb 21 12:32:49 CET 2006
513 - use double-buffered drawing (xft fonts only). On many driver/hardware
514 combination this actually increases xft drawing speed, at the expense
515 of more network bandwidth and slight nausea on the side of the author.
516 - readline perl extension now requires shift-click instead of a normal
517 click, and eats the click.
518 - tabbed perl extension now supports -e.
519 - disabled graphics-exposures on the main drawing GC, report any
520 refresh bugs please.
521 - improve property handling for -pe tabbed: avoid unnecessary property
522 changes (for kde's benefit) at the expense of extra round-trips,
523 improve size hint setting.
524 - modified XIM according to a patch sent by Takano Akio that sets
525 the preedit rectangle for OverTheSpot, which helps some input methods
526 to correctly position their preedit window.
527 - un-optimise the line clearing on newly scrolled-in lines a bit: the
528 former reasoning was that any fg colour on default bg looks the same
529 in empty spaces, but that's not true when reversing (e.g. selection),
530 so also check for matching fg colours. This fixes the problem where
531 selecting newly scrolled-in lines would exhibit wrong colours.
532 - fix a bug in the perl interface causing focus in events to generate
533 focus out perl events, causing bad focus effects with -pe tabbed.
534 - fix a race resulting in a crash on exiting.
535 - fix a with --disable-xft that caused xfreecolors to be called on
536 colors never allocated, resulting in aborts (reported by Paco-Paco).
537 - resources on non-initial screens weren't refetched correctly
538 (reported by Paco-Paco).
539 - fix a bug in xcopyarea pass and _disable_ it, as it seems not to be
540 working in either rxvt-unicode nor in the original rxvt.
541 - removed undocumented -exec alias for the -e option.
542
5437.6 Fri Feb 10 08:52:36 CET 2006
544 - changed interpretation of [alpha] colour prefix.
545 - +option now really sets the option to default, instead of using the
546 resource value.
547 - options that require an argument now really _require_ an argument.
548 - the tabbed extension now forwards focus and key events to the
549 relevant tab window.
550 - tab colours are now configurable and have sensible defaults
551 (initial patch by hednod).
552 - option menu is extendable, readline, selection and
553 selection-autotransform can now be disabled/enabled at runtime.
554 - forcing a configure event to tabbed subwindows with -pe tabbed, for
555 the benefit of automove-background.
556 - the automove-background extension added a wrong constant offset.
557 - force refresh of XA_RESOURCE_STRING on virtual reconnect.
558 - return exit status 2 in urxvtc when urxvtd couldn't be contacted.
559 - the linux yield hack is back, now using usleep, and enabled only on
560 __linux__.
561 - further round trip eliminations in the !XFT case by remembering
562 the colour components.
563 - plain scrollbar works better with -sr.
564 - fixed half-shadow scrollbar look.
565 - more colour rtt optimisations.
566 - properly(?) free colours on window close.
567 - reorganised the FAQ into multiple sections.
568 - add ISO646.1991-IRV to the list of supported codesets.
569 - minor libptytty update.
570
5717.5 Tue Jan 31 15:15:43 CET 2006
572 - further improvements to the careful mode detection, and font width
573 detection:
574 - fully double-wide fonts will now be correctly treated,
575 - overlap detection was improved.
576 - detect totally broken fonts (usually synthesized by xft).
577 - careful mode forced refresh sometimes clashed with blinking,
578 causing unnecessary screen redraws.
579 - better handling of XFT combining characters.
580 - enable antialiasing for some replacement fonts, as they
581 might get used for other encodings which really need it, later.
582 - remove spacing=100 from all default fonts, as this creates totally
583 weird spacing (5 times normal) with xft.
584 - removed iso10646 fallback, as xorgs iso10646 encoded fonts are mostly
585 broken.
586 - removed gnu unifont fallback, all combining characters are broken.
587 - replace named colours by xorg's rgb.txt equivalents, to
588 reduce round trip time on startup, and short-cut allocation
589 of rgb:rr/gg/bb for xft.
590 - short-cut allocation of rgb values in the xlib case
591 (patch by Paco-Paco).
592 - overhauled color management: smaller codesize, alpha support.
593 - support "rgba:rrrr/gggg/bbbb/aaaa" color specifications and
594 an "[alpha]" prefix.
595 - try to work around Xft and Xrender forcing everything to be 100%
596 transparent. Long Live Xft!
597 - do not include X11/Intrinsic.h anymore, directly use
598 Xlib/Xutil/Xresource directly.
599 - try to find a nearest matching color when color allocation fails
600 on a pseudocolor screen.
601 - SYNCCVS: compared to rxvt-cvs 2006-01-28, no relevant changes.
602 - fix version report (DA) (which was unfortunately broken).
603 - changed version number report again, now to emulate xterm closer.
604 - added the OSC sequence 702 to detect the urxvt version number.
605 - small configure updates.
606 - further RTT optimisations.
607 - backported clean-up patches for makefiles and documentation from
608 the debian package.
609 - updated doc/rxvt-unicode.spec file. It's still not maintained here,
610 but much newer than the old one.
611
6127.4 Sat Jan 28 15:26:27 CET 2006
613 - screen background wasn't always erased properly when scrolling,
614 - re-enabled clearing optimisation disabled in 7.4pre.
615 - small configure updates for libptytty.
616 - fixed version options: line output.
617 - removed stoopid debugging message left in the code.
618
6197.3 Wed Jan 25 22:47:35 CET 2006
620 - don't let iso14755 or mouse reporting get into the way of perl
621 (could lead to global grabs never being cleared).
622 - experimental OnTheSpot editing support (-pe xim-onthespot).
623 - moved Shift-Button2 paste combination to Meta-Button2.
624 - the cutchars resource will now be respected and used by the
625 selection extension.
626 - added the "remote-clipboard" extension which just runs external
627 commands to fetch and store the selection data.
628 - added -depth switch that tries to get a different visual depth
629 than the default (replaces the old PREFER_24_BIT logic).
630 - removed (unused) arabic presentation form composing sequences.
631 - be more strict when deciding that a core font glyph is too wide and
632 needs the careful rendering mode.
633 - allow more leeway for italic fonts when deciding that a character is
634 too wide and needs careful mode.
635 - redraw even more characters around characters using careful mode.
636 - made selection-pastebin fully asynchronous.
637 - reduced number of server turnarounds at startup by allocating
638 atoms only once per display.
639 - renamed on_keyboard_command to on_user_command.
640 - changed version sos (ESC [ > c) response to be more compatible with
641 xterm.
