40 - Add -mc option and multiClickTime resource to set the maximum time
41 between multi-click select events (patch by Joe Peterson).
42 - New 'eval' extension to evaluate arbitrary perl code with keysym
43 bindings. The extension also provides methods that implement basic
44 actions, such as pasting selections and scrolling.
45 - the macosx-clipboard and macosx-clipboard-native extensions have been removed.
46 - the keysym-list extension has been removed, you can use the following
47 perl one-liner to expand your existing .Xdefaults file to do without it:
48 - kuake extension now uses the kuake.hotkey resource to specify the hotkey.
49 - new 'matcher:select' mode of matcher to iterate over the matches with the keyboard.
50 - the 'matcher:list' feature of matcher now honours the launcher
51 associated to a matched pattern.
52 - fix up/down commands of searchable scrollback so that they always move
53 to the previous/next logical line with a match, if any.
54 - searchable-scrollback resource has been deprecated (use keysym instead).
55 - extension parameter passing is deprecated (use resource mechanism instead).
56 - upgrade to GPLv3 (see COPYING).
57 - Fix height and position of the stippled area in next scrollbar (patch
58 by Thomas Otto).
59
609.20 Sat Apr 26 16:22:27 CEST 2014
61 - (libptytty) fix bug that prevented urxvtd from writing utmp
62 entries when using --fork (reported by Ryan Kavanagh).
63 - security bugfix: window property values could be queried even
64 in secure mode (reported by Conor McCarthy).
65 - fix build when perl is enabled and fading is disabled.
66 - fix regression that broke continuous scrolling when pressing
67 and holding the scrollbar up or down button, gentoo bug #493992.
68 - increase the maximum length of a command sequence to 32k bytes,
69 to allow longer OSC sequences (previous limit was 2k).
70 - new Ctrl-Meta-c and Ctrl-Meta-v bindings to interact with
71 the CLIPBOARD selection.
72 - new extension: selection-to-clipboard.
73 - the extensions macosx-clipboard and macosx-clipboard-native
74 are deprecated and will be removed in the next release.
75 Support for the clipboard on OS X can be more generally
76 enabled by setting the XQuartz preference to sync the OS X
77 pasteboard and the X11 clipboard.
78
799.19 Sun Oct 27 17:16:07 CET 2013
80 - work around perl 5.18.0 breakage in tabbed extension
81 (reported by Karol Blazewicz) and in pod (Dominic Hargreaves).
82 - fix regression that caused the double-click word selection to
83 erroneously include a tab on the left of the selected word.
84 - implement FOCUS variable and focus_fade function in background
85 expression, to allow focus-sensitive background images.
86 - add support for the set cursor style (DECSCUSR) control
87 function.
88 - honour cursorColor also when the cursor style is underline.
89 - export some Color_xxx constants to Perl.
90
919.18 Sun Mar 24 15:33:35 CET 2013
92 - fix regression that caused artifacts on resize.
93
949.17 Fri Mar 1 13:46:08 CET 2013
95 - add shade operator in background perl extension.
96 - avoid starting or ending the selection in the middle of wide
97 characters to avoid artifacts (reported by Tiago Resende).
98 - fix artifacts that may occur if the character in the cursor
99 cell has width > 1 (reported by Tiago Resende).
100 - fix regression that causes artifacts on scrolling if
101 saveLines is 0 and the window is resized (reported by Bert
102 Münnich).
103 - fix build when perl is enabled and pixbuf and transparency
104 are disabled.
105
1069.16 Thu Dec 27 11:56:43 CET 2012
107 - the "so much new stuff your eyes will pop out" release.
108 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: renamed urlLauncher resource to url-launcher.
109 - fix processing of DEC private mode save sequences (patch by Patrick
110 Hemmer).
111 - perl extensions now have their own manpages, installed as urxvt-NAME(1),
112 e.g. urxvt-background(1) - see urxvt-extensions(1) for a list.
113 - fix disabling of cursor blink with the option-popup menu (based on a
114 patch by Jan Larres).
115 - the font height is not augmented anymore when lineSpace is non zero.
116 - fix "new pagemap" vs. "delete pagemap" mismatch ([] vs. non-[]),
117 as diagnosed by clang.
118 - fix height mismatch between active and inactive cursor when
119 lineSpace is non zero (patch by Stanislav Seletskiy).
120 - make it compile with LOCAL_X_IS_UNIX again (reported by
121 nickfailure@gmail.com).
122 - completely redone background pixmap support - users can now
123 specify arbitrary expressions (And programs) that calculate
124 new terminal backgrounds. see the urxvt-background manpage
125 for details.
126 - xrender is now required for background pixmap support.
127 - perl extensions can now provide commandline switches and resources
128 which show up in -help etc.
129 - iso14755 51 mode window now displays row and column.
130 - implement a -visual switch and move that and -depth to frills, also
131 warn when we can't get the requested visual.
132 - new env variable: RXVT_PERL_LIB.
133 - allocate all screen memory in one go and let the virtual memory
134 subsystem sort it out. this simplifies code, improves access
135 locality, saves a bit of ram and makes things a bit faster, too.
136 - remove support for libafterimage.
137 - update to CVS version of libev, for a whopping 11kb size decrease.
138 - do not ship yet another copy of ecb.h, use the one in libev or
139 libptytty instead.
140 - selectively mark some methods as cache-hot/cache cold, which
141 might speed up execution but definitely decreases codesize.
142 - Fix regression that prevented the scrollbar trough color
143 from being applied (reported by Derek B. Noonburg).
144 - Fix the scrollbar size for rxvt style (patch by Mark Robinson).
145
1469.15 Sat Jan 21 13:36:56 CET 2012
147 - remove "using namespace std" because clang erroneously
148 thinks thats an error.
149 - finding a matching font (e.g. bold version of the base font)
150 was broken (reported by Eamon Walker).
151 - fix parsing of bg image styles. They really work now.
152 - fix blurring of bg image borders when using xrender.
153 - fix xrender blur on common xrender implementations that do
154 not behave correctly when the same pixmap is used as source
155 and destination in composite operations.
156 - fix regression that caused tabbed to compute the wrong size
157 for tabs.
158 - allow again an empty suffix in a keysym list spec (patch by
159 Sung Pae).
160 - unsupported support for sun studio's CC added.
161 - fix -C option on solaris.
162
1639.14 Wed Dec 21 18:40:33 CET 2011
164 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: the urxvtd default socket path is now
165 $HOME/.urxvt/urxvtd-<nodename>.
166 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: the "list" keysym expansion now requires
167 loading of the "keysym-list" perl extension.
168 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: A scale value of 0 in the bg image
169 geometry no longer enables tiling, so as to make it possible
170 to disable both scaling and tiling.
171 - overhaul of the bg image operations. The old operations have
172 been deprecated in favour of elementary operations and
173 styles built on top of the new operations and scale/position
174 settings. (Emanuele Giaquinta).
175 - support for libafterimage is deprecated and will be removed
176 in the next release.
177 - fix a crash caused by selection_check not properly resetting
178 out-of-bounds mark values (can happen when extending a selection
179 while scrolling up in curses programs for example).
180 - do not move the selection when scrolling up and the selection is
181 outside the scrolling region (Emanuele Giaquinta).
182 - fix display of bold bright black (reported by Ben Winslow).
183 - fix memory leak when urgentOnBell is set (patch by Nathaniel
184 Filardo).
185 - fix a redraw bug that occurs when a bg pixmap is set and the
186 wm does not honour the size hints set by urxvt. Now urxvt
187 forces the size of the terminal window to be a multiple of
188 the cell size.
189 - sanitise the argument of SD / SU sequences. Fixes a possible
190 crash when the argument is big enough, red hat bug #711137
191 (Emanuele Giaquinta).
192 - correctly split long lines when scrolling.
193 - urxvt now looks for perl extensions also in $HOME/.urxvt/ext.
194 - add bell-command perl extension to execute a command when a
195 bell event occurs (Ryan Kavanagh).
196 - add set_urgency perl binding to set/reset the urgency hint.
197 - consume button release event in matcher (exg).
198 - keyboard accessible list of recent matches in matcher
199 (Bob Farrell).
200 - properly process 'keysym' sequences in tabbed when using
201 'focus follows mouse' and the focus is on the main window
202 but not on the active terminal window (patch by Martin
203 Pohlack).
204 - support for the freedesktop startup-notification protocol (patch by
205 Michael Stapelberg).
206 - the direction of VPR and VPB commands was reversed.
207 - fix alignment of inherited root pixmap when it is a different size
208 than the root window and the terminal window is off the left or top
209 edge (Mikachu).
210 - make $self visible in "eval perl expression" popup action, also
211 handle exceptions better.
212 - fix parsing of '-e' when it occurs as an option argument, such as in
213 'urxvt -title -e' (Emanuele Giaquinta).
214
2159.12 Wed Jun 29 14:34:28 CEST 2011
216 - fix regression in processing of SelectionNotify events.
217 urxvt would fail to request a selection if the owner did not
218 support the UTF8_STRING target.
219 - fix rendering of double width chars in certain circumstances, more
220 likely to happen if urxvt is compiled with 256 colors support as
221 urxvt runs out of fonts much earlier then. Fixes gentoo bug #358151
222 (Emanuele Giaquinta).
223 - restore support for 'list' syntax in keysym resources (requested by Sung Pae).
224 - always premultiply colour values - while this increases differences between
225 core fonts and xft, it is "more correct" in practical situations.
226 - disable PTYTTY_REENTRANT option - not needed for urxvt and saves a bit of code.
227 - remove lucidatypewriter from the list of fallback fonts, it was the only
228 non-xft non-cellfont in the list anyway.
229
2309.11 Mon May 2 10:34:46 CEST 2011
231 - fix compilation on GNU/Hurd, debian bug #624736.
232 - remove 'list' syntax for keysym resources, as it serves no useful purpose.
233 If you need it, poke us and provide a use case.
234 - fix alpha channel support. Premultiply alpha in colours if the visual
235 supports an alpha channel, as xrender expects premultiplied alpha
236 (Emanuele Giaquinta).
237 - fix reply to a selection request sent by an obsolete client
238 such as syncterm (patch by Marcin Cieslak).
239 - fix crash when the window is resized and the overlay is active
240 (Emanuele Giaquinta, reported by Ryan Kavanagh).
241 - match character-wise rather than byte-wise in selection
242 extension again. perl 5.8.9+ is required to avoid extreme
243 slowdowns. Fixes debian bugs #523072, #616463.
244 - fix a possible crash if the INCR transfer process for a
245 selection property timeouts and at least one chunk is
246 received. (Emanuele Giaquinta)
247 - work around a memory corruption bug in xorg's XrmSetDatabase (apparently
248 broken since http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/xorg-commit-diffs/2004-March/000239.html).
249 - fix memory corruption bug when custom command sequences bound to keys
250 were injected into an already-full pty input buffer.
251 - gdk-pixbuf is autodetected by default and preferred over libafterimage.
252 - do not prepend a newline to the selection text when the starting line
253 of the selection is not highlighted (Emanuele Giaquinta).
254 - don't swap perl env with real env, save and restore it, just in case
255 we ever get recursive perl invocations. also saves a bit of codespace
256 with gcc.
257 - fix various memory leaks (Emanuele Giaquinta).
258 - fix typo in kIC terminfo capability, debian bug #446444.
259 - document 'thickness' resource.
260 - fix debian bug #504817, to the extent possible.
261 - try to detect byte order at compile time, saves a couple of
262 hundred bytes, if your compiler is smart enough.
263 - add support for previewing the pasted data in confirm-paste
264 (Emanuele Giaquinta).
265 - added "newlines to spaces" option in selection-popup.
266 - actually enabled solaris event ports backend (was disabled by accident).
267 - revert to 38400 baud max., mission accomplished.
268 - no longer create scary "pty_fill: PLEASE REPORT" message, instead,
269 silently drain the input (problem is well understood now).
270 - no longer swallow rob nation's own graphics mode commands.
271
2729.10 Mon Dec 13 17:43:52 CET 2010
273 - the "schmorp=north korea dickey=south korea" release.
274 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: make OSC 20 simpler and more correct
275 (Emanuele Giaquinta).
276 - if options were compiled out, this could lead to the option
277 count to be defined wrongly. This is likely behind the
278 failures with gcc 4.5.
279 - explicitly depend on fontconfig and xrender when xft support
280 is enabled. Although the public Xft api uses types from
281 both, in Xft 2.2.0 these libs are private
282 dependencies only thanks to an idiotic behaviour of
283 pkg-config that was added to workaround cases like this one.
284 Fixes linking when using GNU ld with --as-needed or GNU gold
285 (based on patch by Jan Palus).
286 - fix minor memory leaks in urxvt and urxvtd.
287 - fix regression in urxvtd that prevented options from being correctly
288 set (reported by Michal Vaner).
289 - implement xterm's horribly broken 1005 mouse reporting mode,
290 and an alternative 1015 mode that works in non-utf-8 locales
291 and has fewer limitations.
292 - fix a possible bug where mouse notifications didn't work after
293 startup for the upper left corner.
294 - implement our own pixbuf to pixmap rendering to get rid of
295 dependency on buggy gdk-pixbuf-xlib. Only truecolor visuals
296 are supported (Emanuele Giaquinta).
297 - apply tinting before shading when both operations are requested.
298 Previously they were intermixed when lightening and the result
299 was inaccurate and confusing. Note that now a black tint yields a
300 completely black image, regardless of shading (Emanuele Giaquinta).
301 - avoid spurious redraws of the bg image when bg is transparent or
302 when using 'root' mode (Emanuele Giaquinta).
303 - fix build on XFree86.
304 - dynamically number options according to compiletime requirements.
305 For the extra saved byte. Or so. Yay.
306 - start options at one, not zero. Wastes a bit per terminal. Maybe.
307 saves 50 instruction bytes. Possibly.
308
3099.09 Sat Nov 13 01:39:07 CET 2010
310 - NOTICE: this release updates terminfo/termcap.
311 - the bestest release ever.

314 - add support for using gdk-pixbuf as image backend (Emanuele Giaquinta).
315 - cleanup and minor fixes of the image code (Emanuele Giaquinta).
316 - new perl extension "confirm-paste" (Emanuele Giaquinta).
317 - new on_tt_paste perl hook and tt_paste perl binding (Emanuele Giaquinta).
318 - new on_bell perl hook (Emanuele Giaquinta).
319 - searchable-scrollback no longer ignores the first line
320 (Emanuele Giaquinta).
321 - properly set VSTATUS in termios for *BSD (reported by Ed Schouten).
322 - fix utmpx detection on upcoming FreeBSD 9.
323 - Use COMPOUND_TEXT encoding for WM_NAME/WM_ICON_NAME value when it
324 is not fully convertible to STRING (patch by James Cloos).
325 - fix a buffer overflow that would cause wrong key sequences to
326 be generated for numpad keys (introduced in 9.05).
327 - fix definition of sgr0 to work around limitations in luit.
328 - extend ISO 14755 5.4 mode to also print the font name of the
329 characters other than first one in the selected cell
330 (Emanuele Giaquinta).
331 - new iso14755 option to disable ISO 14755 at runtime
332 (Emanuele Giaquinta).
333 - make sure pagewise scrolling scrolls at least one line
334 (found by Mikachu).
335 - remove deprecated OSC 18 / 19 and make OSC 17 / 19 apply to
336 highlightColor / highlightTextColor (Emanuele Giaquinta).
337 - add highlightTextColor resource to change the foreground colour of
338 highlighted characters (Emanuele Giaquinta).
339 - make highlightColor apply also to selected cells with reverse video
340 but not to non selected cells with reverse video (Emanuele Giaquinta).
341 - remove colorRV resource (it was enabled only with frills off).
342 - fix numlock handling, the most longstanding bug to date (Emanuele Giaquinta).
343 - reduce the number of custom bits to 4, to make room
344 for 256 colours.
345 - add support for 256 colors (Emanuele Giaquinta, Marc Lehmann).
346 - add rxvt-unicode-256color terminfo and use it by default in 256 colors mode.
347 - update rxvt-unicode terminfo to state 7744 colour pairs to cover all
348 88*88 possible pairs.
349 - actually added macosx-clipboard-native, which should have been in
350 the 9.07 release but had been forgotten.
351 - fix hang if DECAWM is not set and there are not enough columns to insert a
352 character (Emanuele Giaquinta).
353 - cub1 ("backspace") will now respect wrapping when past the rightmost column,
354 working around a shortcoming of most tty line discipline's line editing.
355 - add support for grabbing the clipboard selection and extend
356 selection{_clear,_grab,} perl bindings to optionally work
357 on the clipboard selection (based on patch by Dana Jansens).
358 - no longer force CERASE to BACKSPACE - use the system default. affects
359 default value for VERASE only when no compatible setting for
360 backspacekey was given.
361 - use higher than 38400 baudrate setting, if detected.
362 - erase screen would clear to the wrong background when blinking
363 was enabled (which selects high intensity under some circumstances).
364 - scr_kill_char didn't touch the line.
365 - upgrade and port to libev-4.01.
366 - enabled solaris event ports and kqueue backends (if available).
367
3689.07 Wed Dec 30 07:07:18 CET 2009
369 - port to glibc-2.10 changes (strchr etc. returning const char *
370 in C++), based on patches by Milos Jakubicek and Oliver Mader.
371 - the binary search algorithm to find precomposed characters
372 was faulty, skipping some possible combinations (found by
373 Mikachu).
374 - new -letterspace option, patch by Mark H. Wilkinson.
375 - enable --mlock option for urxvt with frills on
376 systems supporting it (patch by Russell Harmon).
377 - urxvt did not compile without frills enabled
378 (analysed by Matthew Rosewarne).
379 - correctly reset the mbstate after an illegal
380 input sequence when handling terminal output (Emanuele Giaquinta).
381 - avoid redrawing wide characters with combining enabled on every
382 refresh (reported by Mikachu).
383 - fix a typo preventing the ISO-646.1991 character set from being
384 recognized (http://achurch.org/patch-pile/).
385 - better warning for x11 font encoding detection failures, also,
386 try to deduce encoding from both font properties and name
387 (adapted from http://achurch.org/patch-pile/).
388 - resizing the window with the scrollbar disabled via the escapes
389 sequence could make the window bigger again (Mikachu).
390 - make sure the alignment for fd passing control messages
391 is correct and work around some NetBSD issues (Taylor R Campbell).
392 - update to libptytty 1.3.
393 - replace macosx-clipboard by a nicer version by Reza Jelveh, and move
394 the old version to macosx-clipboard-native.
395 - document the -uc option (Emanuele Giaquinta).
396 - assertions in libev are now enabled depending on frills.
397 - update AnyEvent implementation to version 5.23 API.
398 - work around arrogant bsd idiocies again: netbsd spills the default
399 namespace with lots of symbols "for gnu/gcc compatibility" even
400 though neither of them does it, and then calls the rest of the world
401 in need of fixing. go figure.
402 - on_keyboard_command is on_user_command (patch by Michael Witten).
403 - setting the selection from perl will now reset the selection screen
404 to the current screen. the screen can be manipulated using
405 the new ->selection_screen method.

412
4139.06 Sat Nov 8 17:47:18 CET 2008
414 - NOTICE: this release updates terminfo/termcap.
415 - updates libev to 3.48.
416 - the aterm code now frees the as visual and image manager objects
417 when a window was closed.
418 - do not (wrongly) adjust the virtual line length inside
419 scr_insdel_chars/ERASE (Miroslav Lichvar).
420 - fix an issue where wide tab characters caused character shifts
421 when part of them was deleted (tracked down by Miroslav Lichvar).
422 - artificially enlargen the previous character at the end of a line
423 when trying to output a character that doesn't fit. looks ugly, but
424 makes copy&paste work.
425 - remove bogus "setuid/setgid security issues" from rxvt.1.pod, they
426 no longer apply.
427 - the urgency hint is now cleared on both focus in and focus out.
428 - cache urgency hint locally to avoid server rtt on every focus change.
429 - perl 5.10 needs PERL_SYS_INIT3 on hppa.
430 - ignore byte-order marks and do not treat them like combining characters.
431 - fix build issue when CURSOR_BLINK is not defined (Emanuele Giaquinta).
432 - do some µ-optimisations to the character fast path.
433 - use a less cunning, but more robust algorithm to avoid one terminal
434 monopolising the whole process by outputting a lot of text.
435 - try to work around linux first breaking sched_yield and now breaking
436 the only known workaround.
437 - new option -icon to set _NET_WM_ICON (based on patch by Frank Schmitt).
438 - initialise the as visual only on demand, instead of unconditionally,
439 to save memory in the common case of not using visual gimmicks.
440 - try to work around bugs in a few wm's that erroneously resize
441 client windows on hint property updates by temporarily
442 disabling size hints.
443 - implement the DECSTR soft reset sequence and use it for tput init,
444 and make hard RIS and DECSTR both reset more private modes, such
445 as mouse reporting.
446 - redundantly clear mouse reporting and a few other states in
447 tput init/tput reset, for older urxvts.
448 - partial/full clear screens did cause flickering and possibly pixel
449 droppings when urxvt viewed the scrollback buffer.
450 - use current rendition style in DCH sequence.
451 - the 132/80 mode switch no longer forces a screen reset.
452 - add an osc sequence to change the border colour (Emanuele Giaquinta).
453 - new perl extension "overlay-osc", for status displays and the like.
454 - fix some minor cursor drawing issues with overlays by allowing
455 overlays to modify screen flags (to disable the cursor themselves).
456 - work around programs not restoring rstyle before rmcup
457 (analysed by Miroslav Lichvar).
458
4599.05 Sun Jun 15 20:09:20 CEST 2008
460 - new option --cd/chdir to set the starting working directory.
461 - tabbed extension now starts in the "correct" working directory.
462 - work around fedora 9 providing isastream but not the relevant
463 header file for it (report by Tuncer Ayaz).
464 - upgrade libev, fixing a bug in the select backend.
465 with more than 31 file descriptors on non-linux 64 bit systems.
466 - correctly reset the multibyte state to the initial one
467 after EILSEQ (patch by Neil Booth). This fixes the
468 issue of rxvt-unicode not properly displaying text after an illegal
469 sequence on NetBSD and probably other systems.
470 - more intelligent property handling with -pe tabbed, works around
471 broken window managers (kwm et al.), saves bandwidth and should
472 help working window managers as well.
473 - made tabs moveable (based on a patch by Petr Machata).
474 - implement ESC [ 3 K as a more rational alternative to ESC [ 0 K.
475 - support relative paths for RXVT_SOCKET in urxvtd.
476 - the tabbed extension now blindly copies over all (rxvt-) resources
477 from the toplevel window to the children.
478 - better diagnostic on 0x0 window geometries.
479 - update AnyEvent API to version 3.4 and above.
480 - document the default value of :0 for DISPLAY.
481 - rename perl method XChangeWindowProperty to XChangeProperty.
482
4839.02 Tue Jan 29 11:58:36 CET 2008
484 - the "exg makes everybody happy" release.
485 - fix build with !xft.
486 - always compile in plain style scrollbar (simplifies code and looks great).
487
4889.01 Sat Jan 26 20:49:27 CET 2008
489 - be more aggressive about handling X events, this seems to be required
490 with newer xlibs (should fix the "screen stays black until event is
491 received" problem, again :)
492 - add buffered resource to control xft double-buffering.
493
4949.0 Fri Jan 25 19:34:04 CET 2008
495 - fix a crash bug where urxvtd would crash when urxvtc was called
496 with wrong arguments (I wish debian maintainers in general would
497 report bugs and their proposed fixes to the original package maintainers
498 instead of sitting on them for good measure to see if anybody notices).
499 - drawing xft compose characters was causing garbage to be drawn.
500 - correctly clear xft character background in all cases.
501 - implement bracketed paste mode (xterm private mode 2004).
502 - improve documentation on alpha channel handling, make urxvt
503 work better on servers lacking the RENDER extension when alpha
504 channels or background images are used.
505 - check for refresh after initialising to avoid staying blank
506 till the first event arrives. or so.
507 - the FORCE_UNBUFFERED_XFT feature macro works again.
508 - continuously update transparency while moving/resizing now.
509 - OSC 39/49 are deprecated and aliased to OSC 10/11.
510 - cub1 now acts as advertised (and ignores the "wrapped" state).
511 - the 132/80 mode switch now forces a height of 24, too, and
512 resets the terminal.
513 - scrollbar code cleanups.
514 - stopping children is no longer confused with children exiting.
515 - removed (undocumented) #aarrggbb format.
516 - updated to libev 3.0.
517
5188.9 Mon Dec 24 07:51:40 CET 2007
519 - fix the issue where urxvtd would not immediately close a window
520 when the command exited but only on the next X event.
521 - changed terminfo file not to use application keypad mode.
522 - fix the issue where making a selection in one urxvtd window
523 would not clear it visually in another.
524 - fix an issue of urxvt not getting background pixmap updates
525 and flickering after bg pixmap changes (reported by Mikachu).
526 - fix redraw bug in xterm scrollbar with -sr (reported by Mikachu).
527 - correctly provide dependencies for libev (µikachu).
528 - minor code reorganisations and cleanups.
529 - be more robust in case the urxvt-popup extension cannot be loaded.
530
5318.8 Sat Dec 15 19:40:39 CET 2007
532 - option -C was aliased to all unsupported options, activating
533 options that shouldn't be compiled in, leading to interesting
534 effects.
535 - updated libev, working around a bug in linux 2.4, curing the
536 symptom of urxvt not closing its window on shell exit. also
537 fixes a problem with urxvt not refreshing.
538 - the text blink callback was called even when no blinking
539 text was visible.
540 - pre-8.4 slipwheeling behaviour has been reinstated, with
541 some minor improvements.
542 - streamlined x events processing to only flush once per
543 display and not once per terminal window.
544 - quite a bit of minor code cleanups and codesize optimisations.
545
5468.7 Sun Nov 25 10:23:49 CET 2007
547 - update libev with an important bugfix that would cause crashes
548 when closing windows (when using rxvtd, and update is recommended).
549 - do not compile in the block builtin graphics with --disable-frills.
550
5518.6 Fri Nov 23 14:10:57 CET 2007
552 - upgrade libev to disable kqueue on anything but netbsd as it
553 seems to be broken everywhere else w.r.t. ptys.
554 - allow for spurious event notifications, as at least epoll and
555 especially solaris ports like to lie about them (symptoms:
556 urxvt "hangs" until there is some x11 related activity).
557 - -keysym command line options are now subjected to xlib parsing.
558 - add 'xrm' option analogous to Xt one.
559
5608.5a Wed Nov 21 10:16:33 CET 2007
561 - make it compile with --disable-transparency.
562
5638.5 Wed Nov 21 05:19:20 CET 2007
564 - expect major portability issues in this release: please test and report.
565 - converted from the veritable io manager event loop to
566 the high performance libev (http://software.schmorp.de/pkg/libev).
567 - minor tuning to the perl selection (include single words and more quoting chars).
568 - fix memory leak in pixmap code.
569 - fix a serious bug while setting the XIM destroy callback
570 on (typical) 64 bit systems.
571 - automove-background functionality re-implemented internally using :root op in pixmap
572 geometry string. For example: rxvt -pixmap "image.jpg;:root"
573 - do not link rxvtc against every lib on the planet anymore.
574 - parallel builds should work once more.
575
5768.4 Sat Oct 27 14:02:13 CEST 2007
577 - overhaul of the transparency/pixmap code (sasha).
578 - fix possible race between visual bell and poweron.
579 (reported by Martin von Gagern, gentoo?).
580 - urxvt -e no longer crashes the child.
581 - fixed some minor memleaks on incorrect usage or
582 missing DISPLAY.
583 - implement xterm 1002/1003 mouse tracking modes (exg).
584 - source code organisational cleanups (exg).
585 - updated io_manager.
586
5878.3 Wed Aug 1 20:21:31 CEST 2007
588 - new option: skipScroll/-ss, enabled by default.
589 - go with the times and expect x11 library files in /usr/lib, not
590 /usr/X11R6/lib.
591 - initial transparency improvement/afterimage support
592 patch by Sasha Vasko.
593 - add urgentOnBell resource to set the urgency hint
594 (patch by Philip Paeps).
595 - do not process focus events caused by grabs
596 (patch by Mikachu).
597 - add iso14755_52 resource to disable iso14755 5.2 (exg).
598 - add binding for backspace in iso14755 5.1 to remove the last
599 digit (exg).
600 - better option handling, support more than 30 options (exg).
601 - nuke reconf script, serves no purpose anymore.
602 - fixed and documented matcher/on_user_command processing in matcher
603 extension (tpope).
604 - compile out of the box on Solaris 10 (exg).
605 - fix MappingNotify events (reported by Stephan Walter).
606 - zero-initialise mwmhints, this seems to solve all sorts of minor
607 problems.
608
6098.2 Sat Feb 17 21:35:28 CET 2007
610 - fix make depend in src/, reported by exg.
611 - fixed typo in urxvt::GET_CUSTOM, causing the result to be wrong.
612 (patch by Sergey Vlasov).
613 - unbundled iom perl interface somewhat.
614 - scrollbar-xterm now uses the selected scrollColor instead of fg
615 (found by Aiviru).
616 - disabled linux kernel bug workaround again: disabling it gives
617 a 50% speed hit on affected machines, while enabling it gives
618 a similar speed hit to screen, which is likely the more common
619 case to work around for :/
620 - urxvt::rend2mask perl function, and utilization of it by matcher
621 (patch by Moshe Kamensky).
622 - use perl:matcher on a keysym to open most recently displayed URL.
623 - with matcher, when multiple patterns match, last wins, not first.
624 - fix make and make install with srcdir != builddir (exg).
625 - updated bundled libptytty to fix a bug where the tty would be kept
626 open (see the libptytty ChangeLog for details).
627 - delay setting the IUTF8 flag to after the tty settings have been
628 set so its value does not get lost (reported and analysed by Andrei
629 Paskevich).
630 - rip out support for obsolete sgtty.h interface.
631 - rip out support for non-POSIX termios variants.
632 - update libptytty.
633 - update iom.C, make it call ptytty::sanitise_stdfd on init.
634 - when !XFT, change rounding of colours to use a less correct formula to
635 meet user expectancies (#aaa becomes #a000a000a000 not #9f9f9f9f9f9f).
636 - change the starting offset of the pixmap set with backgroundPixmap
637 from (50,50) to (0,0) (exg).
638 - fix a typo in button_release, now meta-button2 request the value of
639 the Clipboard selection as it should (patch by Serge Koksharov).
640 - fix a bug in drawing a cell with a nonspacing char when using an xft
641 font with inheritPixmap and tintColor (exg).
642
6438.1 Thu Dec 7 22:27:25 CET 2006
644 - ケリスマスプレゼント - zomg!!1, it's too early!!!
645 - fix the assumption that chars < 256 are single-width. Now
646 only assume this for codepoints 32 to 126 (reported by Dai.H.).
647 - $term->strwidth returned wide chars as width 1, because some jerk
648 confused min and max. Fixing this also fixes xim-onthespot.
649 Reported by Takano Akio.
650 - secondaryScroll is now enabled by default (as per the manpage),
651 reported by exg.
652 - correct the description of [percent]color rgba format in the manpage.
653 - incorporated macosx-clipboard extension by Samuel Ljungkvist.
654 - ignore (some) useless focus events (reported by mmc).
655 - updated compose table to unicode 5.0.0.
656
6578.0 Thu Nov 2 18:35:19 CET 2006
658 - combining characters cleared the area instead of creating an overlay,
659 thus losing the ability to draw combining characters properly in most
660 circumstances (reported by exg).
661 - specified fonts were incorrectly morphed to bold/italic according to the
662 basefont, even if explicitly specified (tracked down by tpope).
663 - fixed urxvt::strwidth to calculate width in the same way as screen.C.
664 - fix a crash caused by passing negative widths to overlay functions.
665 - added 'matcher' extension by tpope, replacing the mark-urls extension.
666 - improve url regex to match anything www.* (tpope).
667 - fixed bug with outline cursor color being wrong after xft fonts.
668 - update to libptytty-1.0.
669 - give proper diagnostic when RXVT_SOCKET is too long instead of
670 corrupting the stack (patch by exg).
671 - display current terminal locale in option menu.
672 - urxvtd no longer crashes when the client sends an inaccessible
673 working directory (reported by Roland Baer, possibly fixes gentoo
674 bug #143985).
675 - fixed many minor issues reported by Roland Baer.
676 - Leonid Khramov spotted a minor glitch in rxvtfont.C that
677 should not have any consequences, but was buggy nonetheless.
678 - manpage fix by exg.
679
6807.9 Mon Aug 7 18:16:07 CEST 2006
681 - fix the crashing bug people encountered with 7.8 + urxvtd + perl
682 + transparency. Ought to fix debian bug #380348.
683 - fix urxvtc.1.pod: it actually claimed -pty-fd would not work. But
684 it does! :->
685 - rxvt_fatal() in case the locale string is too long for our static buffer.
686 - fixed many, many, typos in the manpages (patch supplied by ves).
687
6887.8 Mon Jul 17 21:00:46 CEST 2006
689 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: this version will always read ~/.Xdefaults,
690 earlier versions only read it if display-resources (usually from
691 .Xresources) are not set. This avoids the #1 FAQ ("why isn't my
692 resource used") and seems to be logical behaviour, too. .Xdefaults
693 resources have a lower priority than display-specific resources.
694 - add "kuake" perl extension that does a similar thing to the kuake
695 terminal emulator (see man urxvtperl).
696 - use less "correct" color scaling that is compatible with libX11 and
697 Xft (avoids off-by-one colors resulting in striped backgrounds).
698 - the "depth" resource is now respected.
699 - preset the searchable-scrollback pattern with "(?i)" to default search
700 to case-insensitivity. Will automatically be cleared when typing an
701 uppercase character.
702 - add FORCE_UNBUFFERED_XFT define to features.h.
703 - re-enabled highlightcolor support with --enable-frills, based on
704 a patch by Martin Stubenschrott.
705 - double-buffered xft drawing did suffer from pixel offset issues
706 when pixmap transparency was enabled.
707 - strategically add # to the url-match regexes, as we really want to
708 match common URIs not common URLs. Reported by Aaron Griffin.
709 - moved on_osc_seq to on_osc_seq_perl and added a more
710 generic osc_seq.
711 - fix a bug causing double callback invocations when perl hooks
712 were invoked recursively.
713 - the automove-background extension now properly works when the
714 pixmap gets reset with an osc sequence (sqweek).
715 - selection-pastebin did not work properly with non-latin1-characters.
716 - apply colorUL only when the text colour is the default fg
717 (patch by Wu Fengguang).
718 - removed rxvtlib.h from the tarball, it had no reason to be there
719 (spotted by Decklin Foster).
720 - fix compiling with TRANSPARENT but !XPM_BACKGROUND, as reported
721 by omatunto_.
722 - slap in a using namespace std, might help on platforms that don't
723 follow C++ closely enough.
724 - fix mailto url regex, spotted within milliseconds by Jost Krieger.
725 - applied fade_color_update_func.patch by WU Fengguang.
726 - fix a bug where (due to an optimisation in av_delete), hiding the
727 bottom-most overlay would hide two overlays.
728
7297.7 Tue Feb 21 12:32:49 CET 2006
730 - use double-buffered drawing (xft fonts only). On many driver/hardware
731 combination this actually increases xft drawing speed, at the expense
732 of more network bandwidth and slight nausea on the side of the author.
733 - readline perl extension now requires shift-click instead of a normal
734 click, and eats the click.
735 - tabbed perl extension now supports -e.
736 - disabled graphics-exposures on the main drawing GC, report any
737 refresh bugs please.
738 - improve property handling for -pe tabbed: avoid unnecessary property
739 changes (for kde's benefit) at the expense of extra round-trips,
740 improve size hint setting.
741 - modified XIM according to a patch sent by Takano Akio that sets
742 the preedit rectangle for OverTheSpot, which helps some input methods
743 to correctly position their preedit window.
744 - un-optimise the line clearing on newly scrolled-in lines a bit: the
745 former reasoning was that any fg colour on default bg looks the same
746 in empty spaces, but that's not true when reversing (e.g. selection),
747 so also check for matching fg colours. This fixes the problem where
748 selecting newly scrolled-in lines would exhibit wrong colours.
749 - fix a bug in the perl interface causing focus in events to generate
750 focus out perl events, causing bad focus effects with -pe tabbed.
751 - fix a race resulting in a crash on exiting.
752 - fix a with --disable-xft that caused xfreecolors to be called on
753 colors never allocated, resulting in aborts (reported by Paco-Paco).
754 - resources on non-initial screens weren't refetched correctly
755 (reported by Paco-Paco).
756 - fix a bug in xcopyarea pass and _disable_ it, as it seems not to be
757 working in either rxvt-unicode nor in the original rxvt.
758 - removed undocumented -exec alias for the -e option.
759
7607.6 Fri Feb 10 08:52:36 CET 2006
761 - changed interpretation of [alpha] colour prefix.
762 - +option now really sets the option to default, instead of using the
763 resource value.
764 - options that require an argument now really _require_ an argument.
765 - the tabbed extension now forwards focus and key events to the
766 relevant tab window.
767 - tab colours are now configurable and have sensible defaults
768 (initial patch by hednod).
769 - option menu is extendable, readline, selection and
770 selection-autotransform can now be disabled/enabled at runtime.
771 - forcing a configure event to tabbed subwindows with -pe tabbed, for
772 the benefit of automove-background.
773 - the automove-background extension added a wrong constant offset.
774 - force refresh of XA_RESOURCE_STRING on virtual reconnect.
775 - return exit status 2 in urxvtc when urxvtd couldn't be contacted.
776 - the linux yield hack is back, now using usleep, and enabled only on
777 __linux__.
778 - further round trip eliminations in the !XFT case by remembering
779 the colour components.
780 - plain scrollbar works better with -sr.
781 - fixed half-shadow scrollbar look.
782 - more colour rtt optimisations.
783 - properly(?) free colours on window close.
784 - reorganised the FAQ into multiple sections.
785 - add ISO646.1991-IRV to the list of supported codesets.
786 - minor libptytty update.
787
7887.5 Tue Jan 31 15:15:43 CET 2006
789 - further improvements to the careful mode detection, and font width
790 detection:
791 - fully double-wide fonts will now be correctly treated,
792 - overlap detection was improved.
793 - detect totally broken fonts (usually synthesized by xft).
794 - careful mode forced refresh sometimes clashed with blinking,
795 causing unnecessary screen redraws.
796 - better handling of XFT combining characters.
797 - enable antialiasing for some replacement fonts, as they
798 might get used for other encodings which really need it, later.
799 - remove spacing=100 from all default fonts, as this creates totally
800 weird spacing (5 times normal) with xft.
801 - removed iso10646 fallback, as xorgs iso10646 encoded fonts are mostly
802 broken.
803 - removed gnu unifont fallback, all combining characters are broken.
804 - replace named colours by xorg's rgb.txt equivalents, to
805 reduce round trip time on startup, and short-cut allocation
806 of rgb:rr/gg/bb for xft.
807 - short-cut allocation of rgb values in the xlib case
808 (patch by Paco-Paco).
809 - overhauled color management: smaller codesize, alpha support.
810 - support "rgba:rrrr/gggg/bbbb/aaaa" color specifications and
811 an "[alpha]" prefix.
812 - try to work around Xft and Xrender forcing everything to be 100%
813 transparent. Long Live Xft!
814 - do not include X11/Intrinsic.h anymore, directly use
815 Xlib/Xutil/Xresource directly.
816 - try to find a nearest matching color when color allocation fails
817 on a pseudocolor screen.
818 - SYNCCVS: compared to rxvt-cvs 2006-01-28, no relevant changes.
819 - fix version report (DA) (which was unfortunately broken).
820 - changed version number report again, now to emulate xterm closer.
821 - added the OSC sequence 702 to detect the urxvt version number.
822 - small configure updates.
823 - further RTT optimisations.
824 - backported clean-up patches for makefiles and documentation from
825 the debian package.
826 - updated doc/rxvt-unicode.spec file. It's still not maintained here,
827 but much newer than the old one.
828
8297.4 Sat Jan 28 15:26:27 CET 2006
830 - screen background wasn't always erased properly when scrolling,
831 - re-enabled clearing optimisation disabled in 7.4pre.
832 - small configure updates for libptytty.
833 - fixed version options: line output.
834 - removed stoopid debugging message left in the code.
835
8367.3 Wed Jan 25 22:47:35 CET 2006
837 - don't let iso14755 or mouse reporting get into the way of perl
838 (could lead to global grabs never being cleared).
839 - experimental OnTheSpot editing support (-pe xim-onthespot).
840 - moved Shift-Button2 paste combination to Meta-Button2.
841 - the cutchars resource will now be respected and used by the
842 selection extension.
843 - added the "remote-clipboard" extension which just runs external
844 commands to fetch and store the selection data.
845 - added -depth switch that tries to get a different visual depth
846 than the default (replaces the old PREFER_24_BIT logic).
847 - removed (unused) arabic presentation form composing sequences.
848 - be more strict when deciding that a core font glyph is too wide and
849 needs the careful rendering mode.
850 - allow more leeway for italic fonts when deciding that a character is
851 too wide and needs careful mode.
852 - redraw even more characters around characters using careful mode.
853 - made selection-pastebin fully asynchronous.
854 - reduced number of server turnarounds at startup by allocating
855 atoms only once per display.
856 - renamed on_keyboard_command to on_user_command.
857 - changed version sos (ESC [ > c) response to be more compatible with
858 xterm.
20 859
217.2 Sun Jan 22 21:58:16 CET 2006 8607.2 Sun Jan 22 21:58:16 CET 2006
22 - bugfix: urxvt (not urxvtd) did not correctly handle multiple 861 - bugfix: urxvt (not urxvtd) did not correctly handle multiple
23 environments necessary, which resulted in segfaults within 862 environments necessary, which resulted in segfaults within
