197.2 20 - fix the issue where urxvtd would not immediately close a window
21 when the command exited but only on the next X event.
22 - fix the issue where making a selection in one urxvtd window
23 would not clear it visually in another.
24 - changed terminfo file not to use application keypad mode.
25 - fix redraw bug in xterm scrollbar with -sr (reported by Mikachu).
26 - correctly provide dependencies for libev (µikachu).
27 - minor code reorganisations and cleanups.
28
298.8 Sat Dec 15 19:40:39 CET 2007
30 - option -C was aliased to all unsupported options, activating
31 options that shouldn't be compiled in, leading to interesting
32 effects.
33 - updated libev, working around a bug in linux 2.4, curing the
34 symptom of urxvt not closing its window on shell exit. also
35 fixes a problem with urxvt not refreshing.
36 - the text blink callback was called even when no blinking
37 text was visible.
38 - pre-8.4 slipwheeling behaviour has been reinstated, with
39 some minor improvements.
40 - streamlined x events processing to only flush once per
41 display and not once per terminal window.
42 - quite a bit of minor code cleanups and codesize optimisations.
43
448.7 Sun Nov 25 10:23:49 CET 2007
45 - update libev with an important bugfix that would cause crashes
46 when closing windows (when using rxvtd, and update is recommended).
47 - do not compile in the block builtin graphics with --disable-frills.
48
498.6 Fri Nov 23 14:10:57 CET 2007
50 - upgrade libev to disable kqueue on anything but netbsd as it
51 seems to be broken everywhere else w.r.t. ptys.
52 - allow for spurious event notifications, as at least epoll and
53 especially solaris ports like to lie about them (symptoms:
54 urxvt "hangs" until there is some x11 related activity).
55 - -keysym command line options are now subjected to xlib parsing.
56 - add 'xrm' option analogous to Xt one.
57
588.5a Wed Nov 21 10:16:33 CET 2007
59 - make it compile with --disable-transparency.
60
618.5 Wed Nov 21 05:19:20 CET 2007
62 - expect major portability issues in this release: please test and report.
63 - converted from the veritable io manager event loop to
64 the high performance libev (http://software.schmorp.de/pkg/libev).
65 - minor tuning to the perl selection (include single words and more quoting chars).
66 - fix memory leak in pixmap code.
67 - fix a serious bug while setting the XIM destroy callback
68 on (typical) 64 bit systems.
69 - automove-background functionality re-implemented internaly using :root op in pixmap
70 geometry string. For example: rxvt -pixmap "image.jpg;:root"
71 - do not link rxvtc against every lib on the planet anymore.
72 - parallel builds should work once more.
73
748.4 Sat Oct 27 14:02:13 CEST 2007
75 - overhaul of the transparency/pixmap code (sasha).
76 - fix possible race betwen visual bell and poweron.
77 (reported by Martin von Gagern, gentoo?).
78 - urxvt -e no longer crashes the child.
79 - fixed some minor memleaks on incorrect usage or
80 missing DISPLAY.
81 - implement xterm 1002/1003 mouse tracking modes (exg).
82 - source code organisational cleanups (exg).
83 - updated io_manager.
84
858.3 Wed Aug 1 20:21:31 CEST 2007
86 - new option: skipScroll/-ss, enabled by default.
87 - go with the times and expect x11 library files in /usr/lib, not
88 /usr/X11R6/lib.
89 - initial transparency improvement/afterimage support
90 patch by Sasha Vasko.
91 - add urgentOnBell resource to set the urgency hint
92 (patch by Philip Paeps).
93 - do not process focus events caused by grabs
94 (patch by Mikachu).
95 - add iso14755_52 resource to disable iso14755 5.2 (exg).
96 - add binding for backspace in iso14755 5.1 to remove the last
97 digit (exg).
98 - better option handling, support more than 30 options (exg).
99 - nuke reconf script, serves no purpose anymore.

101 extension (tpope).
102 - compile out of the box on Solaris 10 (exg).
103 - fix MappingNotify events (reported by Stephan Walter).
104 - zero-initialise mwmhints, this seems to solve all sorts of minor
105 problems.
106
1078.2 Sat Feb 17 21:35:28 CET 2007
108 - fix make depend in src/, reported by exg.
109 - fixed typo in urxvt::GET_CUSTOM, causing the result to be wrong.
110 (patch by Sergey Vlasov).
111 - unbundled iom perl interface somewhat.
112 - scrollbar-xterm now uses the selected scrollColor instead of fg
113 (found by Aiviru).
114 - disabled linux kernel bug workaround again: disabling it gives
115 a 50% speed hit on affected machines, while enabling it gives
116 a similar speed hit to screen, which is likely the more common
117 case to work around for :/
118 - urxvt::rend2mask perl function, and utilization of it by matcher
119 (patch by Moshe Kamensky).
120 - use perl:matcher on a keysym to open most recently displayed URL.
121 - with matcher, when multiple patterns match, last wins, not first.
122 - fix make and make install with srcdir != builddir (exg).
123 - updated bundled libptytty to fix a bug where the tty would be kept
124 open (see the libptytty ChangeLog for details).
125 - delay setting the IUTF8 flag to after the tty settings have been
126 set so its value does not get lost (reported and analysed by Andrei
127 Paskevich).
128 - rip out support for obsolete sgtty.h interface.
129 - rip out support for non-POSIX termios variants.
130 - update libptytty.
131 - update iom.C, make it call ptytty::sanitise_stdfd on init.
132 - when !XFT, change rounding of colours to use a less correct formula to
133 meet user expectancies (#aaa becomes #a000a000a000 not #9f9f9f9f9f9f).
134 - change the starting offset of the pixmap set with backgroundPixmap
135 from (50,50) to (0,0) (exg).
136 - fix a typo in button_release, now meta-button2 request the value of
137 the Clipboard selection as it should (patch by Serge Koksharov).
138 - fix a bug in drawing a cell with a nonspacing char when using an xft
139 font with inheritPixmap and tintColor (exg).
140
1418.1 Thu Dec 7 22:27:25 CET 2006
142 - ｹﾘｽﾏｽﾌ゚ﾚｾ゙ﾝﾄ - zomg!!1, it's too early!!!
143 - fix the assumption that chars < 256 are single-width. Now
144 only assume this for codepoints 32 to 126 (reported by Dai.H.).
145 - $term->strwidth returned wide chars as width 1, because some jerk
146 confused min and max. Fixing this also fixes xim-onthespot.
147 Reported by Takano Akio.
148 - secondaryScroll is now enabled by default (as per the manpage),
149 reported by exg.
150 - correct the description of [percent]color rgba format in the manpage.
151 - incorporated macosx-clipboard extension by Samuel Ljungkvist.
152 - ignore (some) useless focus events (reported by mmc).
153 - updated compose table to unicode 5.0.0.
154
1558.0 Thu Nov 2 18:35:19 CET 2006
156 - combining characters cleared the area instead of creating an overlay,
157 thus losing the ability to draw combining characters properly in most
158 circumstances (reported by exg).
159 - specified fonts were incorrectly morphed to bold/italic according to the
160 basefont, even if explicitly specified (tracked down by tpope).
161 - fixed urxvt::strwidth to calculate width in the same way as screen.C.
162 - fix a crash caused by passing negative widths to overlay functions.
163 - added 'matcher' extension by tpope, replacing the mark-urls extension.
164 - improve url regex to match anything www.* (tpope).
165 - fixed bug with outline cursor color being wrong after xft fonts.
166 - update to libptytty-1.0.
167 - give proper diagnostic when RXVT_SOCKET is too long instead of
168 corrupting the stack (patch by exg).
169 - display current terminal locale in option menu.
170 - urxvtd no longer crashes when the client sends an inaccessible
171 working directory (reported by Roland Baer, possibly fixes gentoo
172 bug #143985).
173 - fixed many minor issues reported by Roland Baer.
174 - Leonid Khramov spotted a minor glitch in rxvtfont.C that
175 should not have any consequences, but was buggy nonetheless.
176 - manpage fix by exg.
177
1787.9 Mon Aug 7 18:16:07 CEST 2006
179 - fix the crashing bug people encountered with 7.8 + urxvtd + perl
180 + transparency. Ought to fix debian bug #380348.
181 - fix urxvtc.1.pod: it actually claimed -pty-fd would not work. But
182 it does! :->
183 - rxvt_fatal() in case the locale string is too long for our static buffer.
184 - fixed many, many, typos in the manpages (patch supplied by ves).
185
1867.8 Mon Jul 17 21:00:46 CEST 2006
187 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: this version will always read ~/.Xdefaults,
188 earlier versions only read it if display-resources (usually from
189 .Xresources) are not set. This avoids the #1 FAQ ("why isn't my
190 resource used") and seems to be logical behaviour, too. .Xdefaults
191 resources have a lower priority than display-specific resources.
192 - add "kuake" perl extension that does a similar thing to the kuake
193 terminal emulator (see man urxtvperl).
194 - use less "correct" color scaling that is compatible with libX11 and
195 Xft (avoids off-by-one colors resulting in striped backgrounds).
196 - the "depth" resource is now respected.
197 - preset the searchable-scrollback pattern with "(?i)" to default search
198 to case-insensitivity. Will automatically be cleared when typing an
199 uppercase character.
200 - add FORCE_UNBUFFERED_XFT define to features.h.
201 - re-enabled highlightcolor support with --enable-frills, based on
202 a patch by Martin Stubenschrott.
203 - double-buffered xft drawing did suffer from pixel offset issues
204 when pixmap transparency was enabled.
205 - strategically add # to the url-match regexes, as we really want to
206 match common URIs not common URLs. Reported by Aaron Griffin.
207 - moved on_osc_seq to on_osc_seq_perl and added a more
208 generic osc_seq.
209 - fix a bug causing double callback invocations when perl hooks
210 were invoked recursively.
211 - the automove-background extension now properly works when the
212 pixmap gets reset with an osc sequence (sqweek).
213 - selection-pastebin did not work properly with non-latin1-characters.
214 - apply colorUL only when the text colour is the default fg
215 (patch by Wu Fengguang).
216 - removed rxvtlib.h from the tarball, it had no reason to be there
217 (spotted by Decklin Foster).
218 - fix compiling with TRANSPARENT but !XPM_BACKGROUND, as reported
219 by omatunto_.
220 - slap in a using namespace std, might help on platforms that don't
221 follow C++ closely enough.
222 - fix mailto url regex, spotted within milliseconds by Jost Krieger.
223 - applied fade_color_update_func.patch by WU Fengguang.
224 - fix a bug where (due to an optimisation in av_delete), hiding the
225 bottom-most overlay would hide two overlays.
226
2277.7 Tue Feb 21 12:32:49 CET 2006
228 - use double-buffered drawing (xft fonts only). On many driver/hardware
229 combination this actually increases xft drawing speed, at the expense
230 of more network bandwidth and slight nausea on the side of the author.
231 - readline perl extension now requires shift-click instead of a normal
232 click, and eats the click.
233 - tabbed perl extension now supports -e.
234 - disabled graphics-exposures on the main drawing GC, report any
235 refresh bugs please.
236 - improve property handling for -pe tabbed: avoid unnecessary property
237 changes (for kde's benefit) at the expense of extra round-trips,
238 improve size hint setting.
239 - modified XIM according to a patch sent by Takano Akio that sets
240 the preedit rectangle for OverTheSpot, which helps some input methods
241 to correctly position their preedit window.
242 - un-optimise the line clearing on newly scrolled-in lines a bit: the
243 former reasoning was that any fg colour on default bg looks the same
244 in empty spaces, but thats not true when reversing (e.g. selection),
245 so also check for matching fg colours. This fixes the problem where
246 selecting newly scrolled-in lines would exhibit wrong colours.
247 - fix a bug in the perl interface causing focus in events to generate
248 focus out perl events, causing bad focus effects with -pe tabbed.
249 - fix a race resulting in a crash on exiting.
250 - fix a with --disable-xft that caused xfreecolors to be called on
251 colors never allocated, resulting in aborts (reported by Paco-Paco).
252 - resources on non-initial screens weren't refetched correctly
253 (reported by Paco-Paco).
254 - fix a bug in xcopyarea pass and _disable_ it, as it seems not to be
255 working in either rxvt-unicode nor in the original rxvt.
256 - removed undocumented -exec alias for the -e option.
257
2587.6 Fri Feb 10 08:52:36 CET 2006
259 - changed interpretation of [alpha] colour prefix.
260 - +option now really sets the option to default, instead of using the
261 resource value.
262 - options that require an argument now really _require_ an argument.
263 - the tabbed extension now forwards focus and keys events to th
264 relevant tab window.
265 - tab colours are now configurable and have sensible defaults
266 (initial patch by hednod).
267 - option menu is extendable, readline, selection and
268 selection-autotransform can now be disabled/enabled at runtime.
269 - forcing a configure event to tabbed subwindows with -pe tabbed, for
270 the benefit of automove-background.
271 - the automove-background extension added a wrong constant offset.
272 - force refresh of XA_RESOURCE_STRING on virtual reconnect.
273 - return exit status 2 in urxvtc when urxvtd couldn't be contacted.
274 - the linux yield hack is back, now using usleep, and enabled only on
275 __linux__.
276 - further round trip eliminations in the !XFT case by remembering
277 the colour components.
278 - plain scrollbar works better with -sr.
279 - fixed half-shadow scrollbar look.
280 - more colour rtt optimisations.
281 - properly(?) free colours on window close.
282 - reorganised the FAQ into multiple sections.
283 - add ISO646.1991-IRV to the list of supported codesets.
284 - minor libptytty update.
285
2867.5 Tue Jan 31 15:15:43 CET 2006
287 - further improvements to the careful mode detection, and font width
288 detection:
289 - fully double-wide fonts will now be correctly treated,
290 - overlap detection was improved.
291 - detect totally broken fonts (usually synthesized by xft).
292 - careful mode forced refresh sometimes clashed with blinking,
293 causing unnecessary screen redraws.
294 - better handling of XFT combining characters.
295 - enable antialiasing for some replacement fonts, as they
296 might get used for other encodings which really need it, later.
297 - remove spacing=100 from all default fonts, as this creates totally
298 weird spacing (5 times normal) with xft.
299 - removed iso10646 fallback, as xorgs iso10646 encoded fonts are mostly
300 broken.
301 - removed gnu unifont fallback, all combining characters are broken.
302 - replace named colours by xorg's rgb.txt equivalents, to
303 reduce round trip time on startup, and short-cut allocation
304 of rgb:rr/gg/bb for xft.
305 - short-cut allocation of rgb values in the xlib case
306 (patch by Paco-Paco).
307 - overhauled color management: smaller codesize, alpha support.
308 - support "rgba:rrrr/gggg/bbbb/aaaa" color specifications and
309 an "[alpha]" prefix.
310 - try to work around Xft and Xrender forcing everything to be 100%
311 transparent. Long Live Xft!
312 - do not include X11/Intrinsic.h anymore, directly use
313 Xlib/Xutil/Xresource directly.
314 - try to find a nearest matching color when color allocation fails
315 on a pseudocolor screen.
316 - SYNCCVS: compared to rxvt-cvs 2006-01-28, no relevant changes.
317 - fix version report (DA) (which was unfortunately broken).
318 - changed version number report again, now to emulate xterm closer.
319 - added the OSC sequence 702 to detect the urxvt version number.
320 - small configure updates.
321 - further RTT optimisations.
322 - backported clean-up patches for makefiles and documentation from
323 the debian package.
324 - updated doc/rxvt-unicode.spec file. It's still not maintained here,
325 but much newer than the old one.
326
3277.4 Sat Jan 28 15:26:27 CET 2006
328 - screen background wasn't always erased properly when scrolling,
329 - re-enabled clearing optimisation disabled in 7.4pre.
330 - small configure updates for libptytty.
331 - fixed version options: line output.
332 - removed stoopid debugging message left in the code.
333
3347.3 Wed Jan 25 22:47:35 CET 2006
335 - don't let iso14755 or mouse reporting get into the way of perl
336 (could lead to global grabs never being cleared).
337 - experimental OnTheSpot editing support (-pe xim-onthespot).
338 - moved Shift-Button2 paste combination to Meta-Button2.
339 - the cutchars resource will now be respected and used by the
340 selection extension.
341 - added the "remote-clipboard" extension which just runs external
342 commands to fetch and store the selection data.
343 - added -depth switch that tries to get a different visual depth
344 than the default (replaces the old PREFER_24_BIT logic).
345 - removed (unused) arabic presentation form composing sequences.
346 - be more strict when deciding that a core font glyph is too wide and
347 needs the careful rendering mode.
348 - allow more leeway for italic fonts when deciding that a character is
349 too wide and needs careful mode.
350 - redraw even more characters around characters using careful mode.
351 - made selection-pastebin fully asynchronous.
352 - reduced number of server turnarounds at startup by allocating
353 atoms only once per display.
354 - renamed on_keyboard_command to on_user_command.
355 - changed version sos (ESC [ > c) response to be more compatible with
356 xterm.
357
3587.2 Sun Jan 22 21:58:16 CET 2006
20 - bugfix: urxvt (not urxvtd) did not correctly handle multiple 359 - bugfix: urxvt (not urxvtd) did not correctly handle multiple
