197.2 22TODO: zero scorllback buffer should free memory
23TODO: kuake
24TODO: depth resource not working(?)
25TODO: fix the flaw in the url regex jost pointed out
26TODO: look into the selection hilight patch
27 - add FORCE_UNBUFFERED_XFT define to features.h.
28 - double-buffered xft drawing did suffer from pixel offset issues
29 when pixmap transparency was enabled.
30 - moved on_osc_seq to on_osc_seq_perl and added a more
31 generic osc_seq.
32 - fix a bug causing double callback invocations when perl hooks
33 were invoked recursively.
34 - the automove-background extension now properly works when the
35 pixmap gets reset with an osc sequence (sqweek).
36 - selection-pastebin did not work properly with non-latin1-characters.
37 - removed rxvtlib.h from the tarballe, it had no reason to be there
38 (spotted by Decklin Foster).
39 - fix compiling with TRANSPARENT but !XPM_BACKGROUND, as reported
40 by omatunto_.
41 - slap in a using namespace std, might help on platforms that don't
42 follow C++ closely enough.
43
447.7 Tue Feb 21 12:32:49 CET 2006
45 - use double-buffered drawing (xft fonts only). On many driver/hardware
46 combination this actually increases xft drawing speed, at the expense
47 of more network bandwidth and slight nausea on the side of the author.
48 - readline perl extension now requires shift-click instead of a normal
49 click, and eats the click.
50 - tabbed perl extension now supports -e.
51 - disabled graphics-exposures on the main drawing GC, report any
52 refresh bugs please.
53 - improve property handling for -pe tabbed: avoid unnecessary property
54 changes (for kde's benefit) at the expense of extra round-trips,
55 improve size hint setting.
56 - modified XIM according to a patch sent by Takano Akio that sets
57 the preedit rectangle for OverTheSpot, which helps some input methods
58 to correctly position their preedit window.
59 - un-optimise the line clearing on newly scrolled-in lines a bit: the
60 former reasoning was that any fg colour on default bg looks the same
61 in empty spaces, but thats not true when reversing (e.g. selection),
62 so also check for matching fg colours. This fixes the problem where
63 selecting newly scrolled-in lines would exhibit wrong colours.
64 - fix a bug in the perl interface causing focus in events to generate
65 focus out perl events, causing bad focus effects with -pe tabbed.
66 - fix a race resulting in a crash on exiting.
67 - fix a with --disable-xft that caused xfreecolors to be called on
68 colors never allocated, resulting in aborts (reported by Paco-Paco).
69 - resources on non-initial screens weren't refetched correctly
70 (reported by Paco-Paco).
71 - fix a bug in xcopyarea pass and _disable_ it, as it seems not to be
72 working in either rxvt-unicode nor in the original rxvt.
73 - removed undocumented -exec alias for the -e option.
74
757.6 Fri Feb 10 08:52:36 CET 2006
76 - changed interpretation of [alpha] colour prefix.
77 - +option now really sets the option to default, instead of using the
78 resource value.
79 - options that require an argument now really _require_ an argument.
80 - the tabbed extension now forwards focus and keys events to th
81 relevant tab window.
82 - tab colours are now configurable and have sensible defaults
83 (initial patch by hednod).
84 - option menu is extendable, readline, selection and
85 selection-autotransform can now be disabled/enabled at runtime.
86 - forcing a configure event to tabbed subwindows with -pe tabbed, for
87 the benefit of automove-background.
88 - the automove-background extension added a wrong constant offset.
89 - force refresh of XA_RESOURCE_STRING on virtual reconnect.
90 - return exit status 2 in urxvtc when urxvtd couldn't be contacted.
91 - the linux yield hack is back, now using usleep, and enabled only on
92 __linux__.
93 - further round trip eliminations in the !XFT case by remembering
94 the colour components.
95 - plain scrollbar works better with -sr.
96 - fixed half-shadow scrollbar look.
97 - more colour rtt optimisations.
98 - properly(?) free colours on window close.
99 - reorganised the FAQ into multiple sections.
100 - add ISO646.1991-IRV to the list of supported codesets.
101 - minor libptytty update.
102
1037.5 Tue Jan 31 15:15:43 CET 2006
104 - further improvements to the careful mode detection, and font width
105 detection:
106 - fully double-wide fonts will now be correctly treated,
107 - overlap detection was improved.
108 - detect totally broken fonts (usually synthesized by xft).
109 - careful mode forced refresh sometimes clashed with blinking,
110 causing unnecessary screen redraws.
111 - better handling of XFT combining characters.
112 - enable antialiasing for some replacement fonts, as they
113 might get used for other encodings which really need it, later.
114 - remove spacing=100 from all default fonts, as this creates totally
115 weird spacing (5 times normal) with xft.
116 - removed iso10646 fallback, as xorgs iso10646 encoded fonts are mostly
117 broken.
118 - removed gnu unifont fallback, all combining characters are broken.
119 - replace named colours by xorg's rgb.txt equivalents, to
120 reduce round trip time on startup, and short-cut allocation
121 of rgb:rr/gg/bb for xft.
122 - short-cut allocation of rgb values in the xlib case
123 (patch by Paco-Paco).
124 - overhauled color management: smaller codesize, alpha support.
125 - support "rgba:rrrr/gggg/bbbb/aaaa" color specifications and
126 an "[alpha]" prefix.
127 - try to work around Xft and Xrender forcing everything to be 100%
128 transparent. Long Live Xft!
129 - do not include X11/Intrinsic.h anymore, directly use
130 Xlib/Xutil/Xresource directly.
131 - try to find a nearest matching color when color allocation fails
132 on a pseudocolor screen.
133 - SYNCCVS: compared to rxvt-cvs 2006-01-28, no relevant changes.
134 - fix version report (DA) (which was unfortunately broken).
135 - changed version number report again, now to emulate xterm closer.
136 - added the OSC sequence 702 to detect the urxvt version number.
137 - small configure updates.
138 - further RTT optimisations.
139
1407.4 Sat Jan 28 15:26:27 CET 2006
141 - screen background wasn't always erased properly when scrolling,
142 - re-enabled clearing optimisation disabled in 7.4pre.
143 - small configure updates for libptytty.
144 - fixed version options: line output.
145 - removed stoopid debugging message left in the code.
146
1477.3 Wed Jan 25 22:47:35 CET 2006
148 - don't let iso14755 or mouse reporting get into the way of perl
149 (could lead to global grabs never being cleared).
150 - experimental OnTheSpot editing support (-pe xim-onthespot).
151 - moved Shift-Button2 paste combination to Meta-Button2.
152 - the cutchars resource will now be respected and used by the
153 selection extension.
154 - added the "remote-clipboard" extension which just runs external
155 commands to fetch and store the selection data.
156 - added -depth switch that tries to get a different visual depth
157 than the default (replaces the old PREFER_24_BIT logic).
158 - removed (unused) arabic presentation form composing sequences.
159 - be more strict when deciding that a core font glyph is too wide and
160 needs the careful rendering mode.
161 - allow more leeway for italic fonts when deciding that a character is
162 too wide and needs careful mode.
163 - redraw even more characters around characters using careful mode.
164 - made selection-pastebin fully asynchronous.
165 - reduced number of server turnarounds at startup by allocating
166 atoms only once per display.
167 - renamed on_keyboard_command to on_user_command.
168 - changed version sos (ESC [ > c) response to be more compatible with
169 xterm.
