10TODO: http://www120.pair.com/mccarthy/nextstep/intro.htmld/Workspace.html is the correct nextstep look. 9TODO: slow drag selection on remote display - other things seem fast (rxvt illness, motion hints?)
11TODO: rxvt -name urxvt-girly /// leave pixel droppings 10TODO: investigate -pe tabbed -g 80x25 being 23 not 24 or 25 lines
12TODO: distributed clipboard example 11 => when setting the constraints, the wm might (correctly)
12 resize the outer window, which might result in a smaller window overall.
13 or something like that. guys, send me a patch.
14WISH: skipscroll option
15WISH: selection-color-pair instead of reverse video
16WISH: load system-wide config file even if we don't have one
17WISH: look into XAddConnectionWatch, does anybody need that?
13WISH: anyevent mouse notification / manage MotionMask better. 18WISH: anyevent mouse notification / manage MotionMask better.
14WISH: OnTheSpot editing, or maybe switch to miiiiiiif. or maybe use perl and an overlay... 19WISH: http://www120.pair.com/mccarthy/nextstep/intro.htmld/Workspace.html is the correct nextstep scrollbar look.
15WISH: just for fun, do shade and tint with XRender. 20WISH: kick out xpm.C, replace by pixbuf
16DUMB: support tex fonts 21DUMB: support tex fonts

18TODO: kill arabic presentation form table 23TODO: fix rounding of colors when !xft (#aaaaaa => #a9a900) (do not use correct, but expected value)
19TODO: kill dlmalloc dmalloc 2403:05 <Aiviru> Hrm. I've found that my problem isn't so much urxvt, though it /does/ seem to ignore colorRV
20TODO: bug ayin to document possible configure options? 25 - fix make depend in src/, reported by exg.
26 - fixed typo in urxvt::GET_CUSTOM, causing the result to be wrong.
27 (patch by Sergey Vlasov).
28 - unbundled iom perl interface somewhat.
29 - scrollbar-xterm now uses the selected scrollColor instead of fg
30 (found by Aiviru).
31 - disabled linux kernel bug workaround again: disabling it gives
32 a 50% speed hit on affected machines, while enabling it gives
33 a similar speed hit to screen, which is likely the more common
34 case to work around for :/
35 - urxvt::rend2mask perl function, and utilization of it by matcher
36 (patch by Moshe Kamensky).
37 - use perl:matcher on a keysym to open most recently displayed URL.
38 - with matcher, when multiple patterns match, last wins, not first.
39
408.1 Thu Dec 7 22:27:25 CET 2006
41 - ケリスマスプレゼント - zomg!!1, it's too early!!!
42 - fix the assumption that chars < 256 are single-width. Now
43 only assume this for codepoints 32 to 126 (reported by Dai.H.).
44 - $term->strwidth returned wide chars as width 1, because some jerk
45 confused min and max. Fixing this also fixes xim-onthespot.
46 Reported by Takano Akio.
47 - secondaryScroll is now enabled by default (as per the manpage),
48 reported by exg.
49 - correct the description of [percent]color rgba format in the manpage.
50 - incorporated macosx-clipboard extension by Samuel Ljungkvist.
51 - ignore (some) useless focus events (reported by mmc).
52 - updated compose table to unicode 5.0.0.
53
548.0 Thu Nov 2 18:35:19 CET 2006
55 - combining characters cleared the area instead of creating an overlay,
56 thus losing the ability to draw combining characters properly in most
57 circumstances (reported by exg).
58 - specified fonts were incorrectly morphed to bold/italic according to the
59 basefont, even if explicitly specified (tracked down by tpope).
60 - fixed urxvt::strwidth to calculate width in the same way as screen.C.
61 - fix a crash caused by passing negative widths to overlay functions.
62 - added 'matcher' extension by tpope, replacing the mark-urls extension.
63 - improve url regex to match anything www.* (tpope).
64 - fixed bug with outline cursor color being wrong after xft fonts.
65 - update to libptytty-1.0.
66 - give proper diagnostic when RXVT_SOCKET is too long instead of
67 corrupting the stack (patch by exg).
68 - display current terminal locale in option menu.
69 - urxvtd no longer crashes when the client sends an inaccessible
70 working directory (reported by Roland Baer, possibly fixes gentoo
71 bug #143985).
72 - fixed many minor issues reported by Roland Baer.
73 - Leonid Khramov spotted a minor glitch in rxvtfont.C that
74 should not have any consequences, but was buggy nonetheless.
75 - manpage fix by exg.
76
777.9 Mon Aug 7 18:16:07 CEST 2006
78 - fix the crashing bug people encountered with 7.8 + urxvtd + perl
79 + transparency. Ought to fix debian bug #380348.
80 - fix urxvtc.1.pod: it actually claimed -pty-fd would not work. But
81 it does! :->
82 - rxvt_fatal() in case the locale string is too long for our static buffer.
83 - fixed many, many, typos in the manpages (patch supplied by ves).
84
857.8 Mon Jul 17 21:00:46 CEST 2006
86 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: this version will always read ~/.Xdefaults,
87 earlier versions only read it if display-resources (usually from
88 .Xresources) are not set. This avoids the #1 FAQ ("why isn't my
89 resource used") and seems to be logical behaviour, too. .Xdefaults
90 resources have a lower priority than display-specific resources.
91 - add "kuake" perl extension that does a similar thing to the kuake
92 terminal emulator (see man urxtvperl).
93 - use less "correct" color scaling that is compatible with libX11 and
94 Xft (avoids off-by-one colors resulting in striped backgrounds).
95 - the "depth" resource is now respected.
96 - preset the searchable-scrollback pattern with "(?i)" to default search
97 to case-insensitivity. Will automatically be cleared when typing an
98 uppercase character.
99 - add FORCE_UNBUFFERED_XFT define to features.h.
100 - re-enabled highlightcolor support with --enable-frills, based on
101 a patch by Martin Stubenschrott.
102 - double-buffered xft drawing did suffer from pixel offset issues
103 when pixmap transparency was enabled.
104 - strategically add # to the url-match regexes, as we really want to
105 match common URIs not common URLs. Reported by Aaron Griffin.
106 - moved on_osc_seq to on_osc_seq_perl and added a more
107 generic osc_seq.
108 - fix a bug causing double callback invocations when perl hooks
109 were invoked recursively.
110 - the automove-background extension now properly works when the
111 pixmap gets reset with an osc sequence (sqweek).
112 - selection-pastebin did not work properly with non-latin1-characters.
113 - apply colorUL only when the text colour is the default fg
114 (patch by Wu Fengguang).
115 - removed rxvtlib.h from the tarball, it had no reason to be there
116 (spotted by Decklin Foster).
117 - fix compiling with TRANSPARENT but !XPM_BACKGROUND, as reported
118 by omatunto_.
119 - slap in a using namespace std, might help on platforms that don't
120 follow C++ closely enough.
121 - fix mailto url regex, spotted within milliseconds by Jost Krieger.
122 - applied fade_color_update_func.patch by WU Fengguang.
123 - fix a bug where (due to an optimisation in av_delete), hiding the
124 bottom-most overlay would hide two overlays.
125
1267.7 Tue Feb 21 12:32:49 CET 2006
127 - use double-buffered drawing (xft fonts only). On many driver/hardware
128 combination this actually increases xft drawing speed, at the expense
129 of more network bandwidth and slight nausea on the side of the author.
130 - readline perl extension now requires shift-click instead of a normal
131 click, and eats the click.
132 - tabbed perl extension now supports -e.
133 - disabled graphics-exposures on the main drawing GC, report any
134 refresh bugs please.
135 - improve property handling for -pe tabbed: avoid unnecessary property
136 changes (for kde's benefit) at the expense of extra round-trips,
137 improve size hint setting.
138 - modified XIM according to a patch sent by Takano Akio that sets
139 the preedit rectangle for OverTheSpot, which helps some input methods
140 to correctly position their preedit window.
141 - un-optimise the line clearing on newly scrolled-in lines a bit: the
142 former reasoning was that any fg colour on default bg looks the same
143 in empty spaces, but thats not true when reversing (e.g. selection),
144 so also check for matching fg colours. This fixes the problem where
145 selecting newly scrolled-in lines would exhibit wrong colours.
146 - fix a bug in the perl interface causing focus in events to generate
147 focus out perl events, causing bad focus effects with -pe tabbed.
148 - fix a race resulting in a crash on exiting.
149 - fix a with --disable-xft that caused xfreecolors to be called on
150 colors never allocated, resulting in aborts (reported by Paco-Paco).
151 - resources on non-initial screens weren't refetched correctly
152 (reported by Paco-Paco).
153 - fix a bug in xcopyarea pass and _disable_ it, as it seems not to be
154 working in either rxvt-unicode nor in the original rxvt.
155 - removed undocumented -exec alias for the -e option.
156
1577.6 Fri Feb 10 08:52:36 CET 2006
158 - changed interpretation of [alpha] colour prefix.
159 - +option now really sets the option to default, instead of using the
160 resource value.
161 - options that require an argument now really _require_ an argument.
162 - the tabbed extension now forwards focus and keys events to th
163 relevant tab window.
164 - tab colours are now configurable and have sensible defaults
165 (initial patch by hednod).
166 - option menu is extendable, readline, selection and
167 selection-autotransform can now be disabled/enabled at runtime.
168 - forcing a configure event to tabbed subwindows with -pe tabbed, for
169 the benefit of automove-background.
170 - the automove-background extension added a wrong constant offset.
171 - force refresh of XA_RESOURCE_STRING on virtual reconnect.
172 - return exit status 2 in urxvtc when urxvtd couldn't be contacted.
173 - the linux yield hack is back, now using usleep, and enabled only on
174 __linux__.
175 - further round trip eliminations in the !XFT case by remembering
176 the colour components.
177 - plain scrollbar works better with -sr.
178 - fixed half-shadow scrollbar look.
179 - more colour rtt optimisations.
180 - properly(?) free colours on window close.
181 - reorganised the FAQ into multiple sections.
182 - add ISO646.1991-IRV to the list of supported codesets.
183 - minor libptytty update.
184
1857.5 Tue Jan 31 15:15:43 CET 2006
186 - further improvements to the careful mode detection, and font width
187 detection:
188 - fully double-wide fonts will now be correctly treated,
189 - overlap detection was improved.
190 - detect totally broken fonts (usually synthesized by xft).
191 - careful mode forced refresh sometimes clashed with blinking,
192 causing unnecessary screen redraws.
193 - better handling of XFT combining characters.
194 - enable antialiasing for some replacement fonts, as they
195 might get used for other encodings which really need it, later.
196 - remove spacing=100 from all default fonts, as this creates totally
197 weird spacing (5 times normal) with xft.
198 - removed iso10646 fallback, as xorgs iso10646 encoded fonts are mostly
199 broken.
200 - removed gnu unifont fallback, all combining characters are broken.
201 - replace named colours by xorg's rgb.txt equivalents, to
202 reduce round trip time on startup, and short-cut allocation
203 of rgb:rr/gg/bb for xft.
204 - short-cut allocation of rgb values in the xlib case
205 (patch by Paco-Paco).
206 - overhauled color management: smaller codesize, alpha support.
207 - support "rgba:rrrr/gggg/bbbb/aaaa" color specifications and
208 an "[alpha]" prefix.
209 - try to work around Xft and Xrender forcing everything to be 100%
210 transparent. Long Live Xft!
211 - do not include X11/Intrinsic.h anymore, directly use
212 Xlib/Xutil/Xresource directly.
213 - try to find a nearest matching color when color allocation fails
214 on a pseudocolor screen.
215 - SYNCCVS: compared to rxvt-cvs 2006-01-28, no relevant changes.
216 - fix version report (DA) (which was unfortunately broken).
217 - changed version number report again, now to emulate xterm closer.
218 - added the OSC sequence 702 to detect the urxvt version number.
219 - small configure updates.
220 - further RTT optimisations.
221 - backported clean-up patches for makefiles and documentation from
222 the debian package.
223 - updated doc/rxvt-unicode.spec file. It's still not maintained here,
224 but much newer than the old one.
225
2267.4 Sat Jan 28 15:26:27 CET 2006
227 - screen background wasn't always erased properly when scrolling,
228 - re-enabled clearing optimisation disabled in 7.4pre.
229 - small configure updates for libptytty.
230 - fixed version options: line output.
231 - removed stoopid debugging message left in the code.
232
2337.3 Wed Jan 25 22:47:35 CET 2006
234 - don't let iso14755 or mouse reporting get into the way of perl
235 (could lead to global grabs never being cleared).
236 - experimental OnTheSpot editing support (-pe xim-onthespot).
237 - moved Shift-Button2 paste combination to Meta-Button2.
238 - the cutchars resource will now be respected and used by the
239 selection extension.
240 - added the "remote-clipboard" extension which just runs external
241 commands to fetch and store the selection data.
242 - added -depth switch that tries to get a different visual depth
243 than the default (replaces the old PREFER_24_BIT logic).
244 - removed (unused) arabic presentation form composing sequences.
245 - be more strict when deciding that a core font glyph is too wide and
246 needs the careful rendering mode.
247 - allow more leeway for italic fonts when deciding that a character is
248 too wide and needs careful mode.
249 - redraw even more characters around characters using careful mode.
250 - made selection-pastebin fully asynchronous.
251 - reduced number of server turnarounds at startup by allocating
252 atoms only once per display.
253 - renamed on_keyboard_command to on_user_command.
254 - changed version sos (ESC [ > c) response to be more compatible with
255 xterm.
