48 - work around API change breakage in perl 5.28, based on a patch by
49 Roman Bogorodskiy.
50 - improved security: rob nation's (obsolete) graphics mode queries
51 no longer reply with linefeed in secure/default mode.
52 - ISO 8613-3 direct colour SGR sequences (patch by Fengguang Wu).
53 - xterm focus reporting mode (patch by Daniel Hahler).
54 - in some window managers, if smart resize was enabled, urxvt
55 erroneously moved the window on font change - awesome bug
56 #532, arch linux bug ##34807 (patch by Uli Schlachter).
57 - fix urxvtd crash when using a background expression.
58 - properly restore colors when using fading and reverse video
59 is enabled while urxvt is focused and then disabled while it
60 is not focused, or vice versa (patch by Daniel Hahler).
61 - fix high memory usage when an extension repeatedly hides and
62 shows an overlay (reported by Marcel Lautenbach).
63 - the old bg image resources are now provided by the background
64 extension, and perl is thus required for bg image support. No
65 configuration change is needed: urxvt autoloads the background
66 ext if any bg image resource/option is present. The old bg image
67 resources are also now deprecated; users are encouraged to
68 switch to the new bg image interface (see man urxvt-background).
69 - expose priv_modes member and constants to perl extensions
70 (patch by Rastislav Barlik).
71 - fix a whole slew of const sillyness, unfortunately forced upon
72 us by ISO C++.
73 - update to libecb 0x00010006.
74 - disable all thread support in ecb.h as we presumably don't need it.
75
769.22 Sat Jan 23 21:07:33 CET 2016
77 - NOTICE: this release updates terminfo.
78 - add terminfo capabilities for various ctrl and shift-ctrl key variants
79 (patch by Sebastian Schmidt).
80 - fix longstanding core font encoding bug where some character
81 ranges could not be mapped from unicode to the font: affected
82 encodings are big5, gb2312, iso8859-8 (hebrew), jis0201 and
83 ksc5601 (reported by Mikachu).
84 - fix crash when the number of columns is 1 and a 0 width character is inserted
85 (reported by Kuang-che Wu).
86 - fix a crash when parsing an invalid color specification (reported by Kuang-che Wu).
87 - fix a buffer overflow in font name parser (reported by Kuang-che Wu).
88 - do not start blinking cursor if the window is unfocused (reported by
89 Devin J. Pohly).
90 - change the width of underline and i-beam cursor to 2 pixels (based on
91 a patch by Omar Sandoval).
92 - add pointerShape resource to change the mouse pointer shape
93 (based on a patch by Brian Watson).
94 - a keysym resource for a key which is already bound to an
95 action now properly rebinds the key.
96 - do not report mouse motion events if Shift is active (patch by Daniel Hahler).
97 - put the alpha component last in responses to OSC color queries
98 (patch by Benjamin Herr).
99 - the key_press hook is now invoked before processing the
100 event, as documented. This change was done in 9.21 but not
101 announced and fixes debian bugs #511377, #531751 and red hat
102 bug #1105069. Note that this change breaks a few scripts,
103 such as mark-yank-urls, which rely on the previous buggy
104 behaviour that urxvt processes the event (in particular
105 keysym bindings) before invoking the hook.
106 - the tabbed extension now properly refreshes the active tab
107 on a key press when the mouse pointer is outside the terminal
108 window.
109 - add 'lookup_keysym' perl method to lookup the action bound
110 to a key combination.
111 - a key combination bound to 'matcher:select' can now be used
112 to cycle through the matches in matcher.
113 - change perl integer accessors (->width et al.) into mutators.
114
1159.21 Wed Dec 31 14:50:03 CET 2014
116 - the "moa redraw 8-bit british vintage colour management" release.
117 - NOTICE: this release updates terminfo.
118 - fix pixel droppings on overdraw when a secondary core font has the
119 same height but different ascent.
120 - implement cvvis in terminfo as blinking cursor, to distinguish it
121 from cnorm (emacs uses cvvis which is commonly a blinking cursor).
122 - when xft support was compiled in, colour queries erroneously returned
123 premultiplied values, this also affected internal queries, for example
124 when calculating faded colour. alpha is now divided out when possible,
125 which is more correct but loses colour resolution.
126 - add DECSCUSR xterm extension to set the cursor to a vertical bar.
127 - add 'extension:string' action, and associated on_action perl
128 hook, for keysym resources that invokes actions provided by
129 perl extensions. The 'perl:string' action and
130 on_user_command hook are deprecated but still supported.
131 - add 'builtin-string' action for keysym resources that restores string
132 mappings for keys that have predefined actions in urxvt.
133 - add -k option to urxvtc for killing the daemon process.
134 - document urxvtd's -e/--eval option that was implemented in 9.16,
135 but not documented.
136 - add -dockapp option to make the wm treat urxvt as a dockapp.
137 - add -mc option and multiClickTime resource to set the maximum time
138 between multi-click select events (patch by Joe Peterson).
139 - new 'eval' extension to evaluate arbitrary perl code with keysym
140 bindings. The extension also provides methods that implement basic
141 actions, such as pasting selections and scrolling.
142 - the macosx-clipboard and macosx-clipboard-native extensions have been removed.
143 - kuake extension now uses the kuake.hotkey resource to specify the hotkey.
144 - new 'matcher:select' mode of matcher to iterate over the matches with the keyboard.
145 - the 'matcher:list' feature of matcher now honours the launcher
146 associated to a matched pattern.
147 - speed-up matcher underlining on very long lines (reported by Edward Z. Yang).
148 - fix up/down commands of searchable-scrollback so that they always move
149 to the previous/next logical line with a match, if any.
150 - searchable-scrollback resource has been deprecated (use keysym instead).
151 - extension parameter passing is deprecated (use resource mechanism instead).
152 - upgrade to GPLv3 (see COPYING).
153 - compile out of the box on Solaris 10, again.
154 - fix height and position of the stippled area in next scrollbar (patch
155 by Thomas Otto).
156 - fix off-by-one bug causing the iso14755 window not to jump out of the
157 way properly.
158 - fix crash that may happen if a lib to which urxvt is linked to calls setenv.
159 - fix memory leak in special_{encode,decode} perl methods.
160 - fix refresh bug that occurs when reverse video is set on a cell
161 containing a space and with the same bg and fg colour, red hat bug
162 #830236.
163 - fix crash that may happen if an x error is received after a terminal
164 window/popup has been destroyed already.
165 - removed superfluous 0 digit from sgr terminfo sequence.
166 - greatly improve colour allocation on colour-starved pseudocolour
167 displays to avoid read-write cells instead of simply failing
168 (this is only relevant for antique 8bpp frame buffers).
169 - do not free fade colours when not doing fading (this is likely
170 only relevant for antique 8bpp frame buffers).
171 - do not specialcase 2 or 4 colour visuals, leading to
172 simpler and actually more correct code.
173 - hopefully no longer leak colours on !truecolour visuals.
174 - use consistent method names (scr_recolour => scr_recolor).
175 - use simpler (but slightly less bogus) formula for nearest
176 colour choice (this is likely only relevant for antique 8bpp
177 frame buffers).
178 - remove fallback behaviour when initialising colours - the
179 behaviour was inconsistent between startup vs. later and
180 was only effective when valid colours couldn't be allocated.
181
1829.20 Sat Apr 26 16:22:27 CEST 2014
183 - (libptytty) fix bug that prevented urxvtd from writing utmp
184 entries when using --fork (reported by Ryan Kavanagh).
185 - security bugfix: window property values could be queried even
186 in secure mode (reported by Conor McCarthy).
187 - fix build when perl is enabled and fading is disabled.
188 - fix regression that broke continuous scrolling when pressing
189 and holding the scrollbar up or down button, gentoo bug #493992.
190 - increase the maximum length of a command sequence to 32k bytes,
191 to allow longer OSC sequences (previous limit was 2k).
192 - new Ctrl-Meta-c and Ctrl-Meta-v bindings to interact with
193 the CLIPBOARD selection.
194 - new extension: selection-to-clipboard.
195 - the extensions macosx-clipboard and macosx-clipboard-native
196 are deprecated and will be removed in the next release.
197 Support for the clipboard on OS X can be more generally
198 enabled by setting the XQuartz preference to sync the OS X
199 pasteboard and the X11 clipboard.
200
2019.19 Sun Oct 27 17:16:07 CET 2013
202 - work around perl 5.18.0 breakage in tabbed extension
203 (reported by Karol Blazewicz) and in pod (Dominic Hargreaves).
204 - fix regression that caused the double-click word selection to
205 erroneously include a tab on the left of the selected word.
206 - implement FOCUS variable and focus_fade function in background
207 expression, to allow focus-sensitive background images.
208 - add support for the set cursor style (DECSCUSR) control
209 function.
210 - honour cursorColor also when the cursor style is underline.
211 - export some Color_xxx constants to Perl.
212
2139.18 Sun Mar 24 15:33:35 CET 2013
214 - fix regression that caused artifacts on resize.
215
2169.17 Fri Mar 1 13:46:08 CET 2013
217 - add shade operator in background perl extension.
218 - avoid starting or ending the selection in the middle of wide
219 characters to avoid artifacts (reported by Tiago Resende).
220 - fix artifacts that may occur if the character in the cursor
221 cell has width > 1 (reported by Tiago Resende).
222 - fix regression that causes artifacts on scrolling if
223 saveLines is 0 and the window is resized (reported by Bert
224 Münnich).
225 - fix build when perl is enabled and pixbuf and transparency
226 are disabled.
227
2289.16 Thu Dec 27 11:56:43 CET 2012
229 - the "so much new stuff your eyes will pop out" release.
230 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: renamed urlLauncher resource to url-launcher.
231 - fix processing of DEC private mode save sequences (patch by Patrick
232 Hemmer).
233 - perl extensions now have their own manpages, installed as urxvt-NAME(1),
234 e.g. urxvt-background(1) - see urxvt-extensions(1) for a list.
235 - fix disabling of cursor blink with the option-popup menu (based on a
236 patch by Jan Larres).
237 - the font height is not augmented anymore when lineSpace is non zero.
238 - fix "new pagemap" vs. "delete pagemap" mismatch ([] vs. non-[]),
239 as diagnosed by clang.
240 - fix height mismatch between active and inactive cursor when
241 lineSpace is non zero (patch by Stanislav Seletskiy).
242 - make it compile with LOCAL_X_IS_UNIX again (reported by
243 nickfailure@gmail.com).
244 - completely redone background pixmap support - users can now
245 specify arbitrary expressions (And programs) that calculate
246 new terminal backgrounds. see the urxvt-background manpage
247 for details.
248 - xrender is now required for background pixmap support.
249 - perl extensions can now provide commandline switches and resources
250 which show up in -help etc.
251 - iso14755 51 mode window now displays row and column.
252 - implement a -visual switch and move that and -depth to frills, also
253 warn when we can't get the requested visual.
254 - new env variable: RXVT_PERL_LIB.
255 - allocate all screen memory in one go and let the virtual memory
256 subsystem sort it out. this simplifies code, improves access
257 locality, saves a bit of ram and makes things a bit faster, too.
258 - remove support for libafterimage.
259 - update to CVS version of libev, for a whopping 11kb size decrease.
260 - do not ship yet another copy of ecb.h, use the one in libev or
261 libptytty instead.
262 - selectively mark some methods as cache-hot/cache cold, which
263 might speed up execution but definitely decreases codesize.
264 - Fix regression that prevented the scrollbar trough color
265 from being applied (reported by Derek B. Noonburg).
266 - Fix the scrollbar size for rxvt style (patch by Mark Robinson).
267
2689.15 Sat Jan 21 13:36:56 CET 2012
269 - remove "using namespace std" because clang erroneously
270 thinks thats an error.
271 - finding a matching font (e.g. bold version of the base font)
272 was broken (reported by Eamon Walker).
273 - fix parsing of bg image styles. They really work now.
274 - fix blurring of bg image borders when using xrender.
275 - fix xrender blur on common xrender implementations that do
276 not behave correctly when the same pixmap is used as source
277 and destination in composite operations.
278 - fix regression that caused tabbed to compute the wrong size
279 for tabs.
280 - allow again an empty suffix in a keysym list spec (patch by
281 Sung Pae).
282 - unsupported support for sun studio's CC added.
283 - fix -C option on solaris.
284
2859.14 Wed Dec 21 18:40:33 CET 2011
286 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: the urxvtd default socket path is now
287 $HOME/.urxvt/urxvtd-<nodename>.
288 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: the "list" keysym expansion now requires
289 loading of the "keysym-list" perl extension.
290 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: A scale value of 0 in the bg image
291 geometry no longer enables tiling, so as to make it possible
292 to disable both scaling and tiling.
293 - overhaul of the bg image operations. The old operations have
294 been deprecated in favour of elementary operations and
295 styles built on top of the new operations and scale/position
296 settings. (Emanuele Giaquinta).
297 - support for libafterimage is deprecated and will be removed
298 in the next release.
299 - fix a crash caused by selection_check not properly resetting
300 out-of-bounds mark values (can happen when extending a selection
301 while scrolling up in curses programs for example).
302 - do not move the selection when scrolling up and the selection is
303 outside the scrolling region (Emanuele Giaquinta).
304 - fix display of bold bright black (reported by Ben Winslow).
305 - fix memory leak when urgentOnBell is set (patch by Nathaniel
306 Filardo).
307 - fix a redraw bug that occurs when a bg pixmap is set and the
308 wm does not honour the size hints set by urxvt. Now urxvt
309 forces the size of the terminal window to be a multiple of
310 the cell size.
311 - sanitise the argument of SD / SU sequences. Fixes a possible
312 crash when the argument is big enough, red hat bug #711137
313 (Emanuele Giaquinta).
314 - correctly split long lines when scrolling.
315 - urxvt now looks for perl extensions also in $HOME/.urxvt/ext.
316 - add bell-command perl extension to execute a command when a
317 bell event occurs (Ryan Kavanagh).
318 - add set_urgency perl binding to set/reset the urgency hint.
319 - consume button release event in matcher (exg).
320 - keyboard accessible list of recent matches in matcher
321 (Bob Farrell).
322 - properly process 'keysym' sequences in tabbed when using
323 'focus follows mouse' and the focus is on the main window
324 but not on the active terminal window (patch by Martin
325 Pohlack).
326 - support for the freedesktop startup-notification protocol (patch by
327 Michael Stapelberg).
328 - the direction of VPR and VPB commands was reversed.
329 - fix alignment of inherited root pixmap when it is a different size
330 than the root window and the terminal window is off the left or top
331 edge (Mikachu).
332 - make $self visible in "eval perl expression" popup action, also
333 handle exceptions better.
334 - fix parsing of '-e' when it occurs as an option argument, such as in
335 'urxvt -title -e' (Emanuele Giaquinta).
336
3379.12 Wed Jun 29 14:34:28 CEST 2011
338 - fix regression in processing of SelectionNotify events.
339 urxvt would fail to request a selection if the owner did not
340 support the UTF8_STRING target.
341 - fix rendering of double width chars in certain circumstances, more
342 likely to happen if urxvt is compiled with 256 colors support as
343 urxvt runs out of fonts much earlier then. Fixes gentoo bug #358151
344 (Emanuele Giaquinta).
345 - restore support for 'list' syntax in keysym resources (requested by Sung Pae).
346 - always premultiply colour values - while this increases differences between
347 core fonts and xft, it is "more correct" in practical situations.
348 - disable PTYTTY_REENTRANT option - not needed for urxvt and saves a bit of code.
349 - remove lucidatypewriter from the list of fallback fonts, it was the only
350 non-xft non-cellfont in the list anyway.
351
3529.11 Mon May 2 10:34:46 CEST 2011
353 - fix compilation on GNU/Hurd, debian bug #624736.
354 - remove 'list' syntax for keysym resources, as it serves no useful purpose.
355 If you need it, poke us and provide a use case.
356 - fix alpha channel support. Premultiply alpha in colours if the visual
357 supports an alpha channel, as xrender expects premultiplied alpha
358 (Emanuele Giaquinta).
359 - fix reply to a selection request sent by an obsolete client
360 such as syncterm (patch by Marcin Cieslak).
361 - fix crash when the window is resized and the overlay is active
362 (Emanuele Giaquinta, reported by Ryan Kavanagh).
363 - match character-wise rather than byte-wise in selection
364 extension again. perl 5.8.9+ is required to avoid extreme
365 slowdowns. Fixes debian bugs #523072, #616463.
366 - fix a possible crash if the INCR transfer process for a
367 selection property timeouts and at least one chunk is
368 received. (Emanuele Giaquinta)
369 - work around a memory corruption bug in xorg's XrmSetDatabase (apparently
370 broken since http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/xorg-commit-diffs/2004-March/000239.html).
371 - fix memory corruption bug when custom command sequences bound to keys
372 were injected into an already-full pty input buffer.
373 - gdk-pixbuf is autodetected by default and preferred over libafterimage.
374 - do not prepend a newline to the selection text when the starting line
375 of the selection is not highlighted (Emanuele Giaquinta).
376 - don't swap perl env with real env, save and restore it, just in case
377 we ever get recursive perl invocations. also saves a bit of codespace
378 with gcc.
379 - fix various memory leaks (Emanuele Giaquinta).
380 - fix typo in kIC terminfo capability, debian bug #446444.
381 - document 'thickness' resource.
382 - fix debian bug #504817, to the extent possible.
383 - try to detect byte order at compile time, saves a couple of
384 hundred bytes, if your compiler is smart enough.
385 - add support for previewing the pasted data in confirm-paste
386 (Emanuele Giaquinta).
387 - added "newlines to spaces" option in selection-popup.
388 - actually enabled solaris event ports backend (was disabled by accident).
389 - revert to 38400 baud max., mission accomplished.
390 - no longer create scary "pty_fill: PLEASE REPORT" message, instead,
391 silently drain the input (problem is well understood now).
392 - no longer swallow rob nation's own graphics mode commands.
393
3949.10 Mon Dec 13 17:43:52 CET 2010
395 - the "schmorp=north korea dickey=south korea" release.
396 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: make OSC 20 simpler and more correct
397 (Emanuele Giaquinta).
398 - if options were compiled out, this could lead to the option
399 count to be defined wrongly. This is likely behind the
400 failures with gcc 4.5.
401 - explicitly depend on fontconfig and xrender when xft support
402 is enabled. Although the public Xft api uses types from
403 both, in Xft 2.2.0 these libs are private
404 dependencies only thanks to an idiotic behaviour of
405 pkg-config that was added to workaround cases like this one.
406 Fixes linking when using GNU ld with --as-needed or GNU gold
407 (based on patch by Jan Palus).
408 - fix minor memory leaks in urxvt and urxvtd.
409 - fix regression in urxvtd that prevented options from being correctly
410 set (reported by Michal Vaner).
411 - implement xterm's horribly broken 1005 mouse reporting mode,
412 and an alternative 1015 mode that works in non-utf-8 locales
413 and has fewer limitations.
414 - fix a possible bug where mouse notifications didn't work after
415 startup for the upper left corner.
416 - implement our own pixbuf to pixmap rendering to get rid of
417 dependency on buggy gdk-pixbuf-xlib. Only truecolor visuals
418 are supported (Emanuele Giaquinta).
419 - apply tinting before shading when both operations are requested.
420 Previously they were intermixed when lightening and the result
421 was inaccurate and confusing. Note that now a black tint yields a
422 completely black image, regardless of shading (Emanuele Giaquinta).
423 - avoid spurious redraws of the bg image when bg is transparent or
424 when using 'root' mode (Emanuele Giaquinta).
425 - fix build on XFree86.
426 - dynamically number options according to compiletime requirements.
427 For the extra saved byte. Or so. Yay.
428 - start options at one, not zero. Wastes a bit per terminal. Maybe.
429 saves 50 instruction bytes. Possibly.
430

453 - new iso14755 option to disable ISO 14755 at runtime
454 (Emanuele Giaquinta).
455 - make sure pagewise scrolling scrolls at least one line
456 (found by Mikachu).

497 - enable --mlock option for urxvt with frills on
498 systems supporting it (patch by Russell Harmon).
499 - urxvt did not compile without frills enabled
500 (analysed by Matthew Rosewarne).
501 - correctly reset the mbstate after an illegal

503 - avoid redrawing wide characters with combining enabled on every
504 refresh (reported by Mikachu).
505 - fix a typo preventing the ISO-646.1991 character set from being
506 recognized (http://achurch.org/patch-pile/).
507 - better warning for x11 font encoding detection failures, also,
508 try to deduce encoding from both font properties and name
509 (adapted from http://achurch.org/patch-pile/).
510 - resizing the window with the scrollbar disabled via the escapes
511 sequence could make the window bigger again (Mikachu).
512 - make sure the alignment for fd passing control messages
513 is correct and work around some NetBSD issues (Taylor R Campbell).
514 - update to libptytty 1.3.

518 - assertions in libev are now enabled depending on frills.
519 - update AnyEvent implementation to version 5.23 API.
520 - work around arrogant bsd idiocies again: netbsd spills the default
521 namespace with lots of symbols "for gnu/gcc compatibility" even
522 though neither of them does it, and then calls the rest of the world
523 in need of fixing. go figure.
524 - on_keyboard_command is on_user_command (patch by Michael Witten).
525 - setting the selection from perl will now reset the selection screen
526 to the current screen. the screen can be manipulated using
527 the new ->selection_screen method.

537 - updates libev to 3.48.
538 - the aterm code now frees the as visual and image manager objects
539 when a window was closed.
540 - do not (wrongly) adjust the virtual line length inside
541 scr_insdel_chars/ERASE (Miroslav Lichvar).
542 - fix an issue where wide tab characters caused character shifts
543 when part of them was deleted (tracked down by Miroslav Lichvar).
544 - artificially enlargen the previous character at the end of a line
545 when trying to output a character that doesn't fit. looks ugly, but
546 makes copy&paste work.
547 - remove bogus "setuid/setgid security issues" from rxvt.1.pod, they
548 no longer apply.
549 - the urgency hint is now cleared on both focus in and focus out.
550 - cache urgency hint locally to avoid server rtt on every focus change.
551 - perl 5.10 needs PERL_SYS_INIT3 on hppa.
552 - ignore byte-order marks and do not treat them like combining characters.
553 - fix build issue when CURSOR_BLINK is not defined (Emanuele Giaquinta).
554 - do some µ-optimisations to the character fast path.
555 - use a less cunning, but more robust algorithm to avoid one terminal
556 monopolising the whole process by outputting a lot of text.
557 - try to work around linux first breaking sched_yield and now breaking
558 the only known workaround.
559 - new option -icon to set _NET_WM_ICON (based on patch by Frank Schmitt).
560 - initialise the as visual only on demand, instead of unconditionally,
561 to save memory in the common case of not using visual gimmicks.
562 - try to work around bugs in a few wm's that erroneously resize
563 client windows on hint property updates by temporarily
564 disabling size hints.
565 - implement the DECSTR soft reset sequence and use it for tput init,
566 and make hard RIS and DECSTR both reset more private modes, such
567 as mouse reporting.
568 - redundantly clear mouse reporting and a few other states in
569 tput init/tput reset, for older urxvts.
570 - partial/full clear screens did cause flickering and possibly pixel
571 droppings when urxvt viewed the scrollback buffer.
572 - use current rendition style in DCH sequence.
573 - the 132/80 mode switch no longer forces a screen reset.
574 - add an osc sequence to change the border colour (Emanuele Giaquinta).
575 - new perl extension "overlay-osc", for status displays and the like.
576 - fix some minor cursor drawing issues with overlays by allowing
577 overlays to modify screen flags (to disable the cursor themselves).
578 - work around programs not restoring rstyle before rmcup
579 (analysed by Miroslav Lichvar).
580

587 with more than 31 file descriptors on non-linux 64 bit systems.
588 - correctly reset the multibyte state to the initial one
589 after EILSEQ (patch by Neil Booth). This fixes the
590 issue of rxvt-unicode not properly displaying text after an illegal
591 sequence on NetBSD and probably other systems.
592 - more intelligent property handling with -pe tabbed, works around
593 broken window managers (kwm et al.), saves bandwidth and should
594 help working window managers as well.
595 - made tabs moveable (based on a patch by Petr Machata).
596 - implement ESC [ 3 K as a more rational alternative to ESC [ 0 K.
597 - support relative paths for RXVT_SOCKET in urxvtd.
598 - the tabbed extension now blindly copies over all (rxvt-) resources
599 from the toplevel window to the children.
600 - better diagnostic on 0x0 window geometries.
601 - update AnyEvent API to version 3.4 and above.
602 - document the default value of :0 for DISPLAY.
603 - rename perl method XChangeWindowProperty to XChangeProperty.
604

606 - the "exg makes everybody happy" release.
607 - fix build with !xft.
608 - always compile in plain style scrollbar (simplifies code and looks great).
609
6109.01 Sat Jan 26 20:49:27 CET 2008
611 - be more aggressive about handling X events, this seems to be required
612 with newer xlibs (should fix the "screen stays black until event is
613 received" problem, again :)
614 - add buffered resource to control xft double-buffering.
615
6169.0 Fri Jan 25 19:34:04 CET 2008
617 - fix a crash bug where urxvtd would crash when urxvtc was called
618 with wrong arguments (I wish debian maintainers in general would
619 report bugs and their proposed fixes to the original package maintainers
620 instead of sitting on them for good measure to see if anybody notices).
621 - drawing xft compose characters was causing garbage to be drawn.
622 - correctly clear xft character background in all cases.
623 - implement bracketed paste mode (xterm private mode 2004).
624 - improve documentation on alpha channel handling, make urxvt
625 work better on servers lacking the RENDER extension when alpha
626 channels or background images are used.
627 - check for refresh after initialising to avoid staying blank
628 till the first event arrives. or so.
629 - the FORCE_UNBUFFERED_XFT feature macro works again.
630 - continuously update transparency while moving/resizing now.
631 - OSC 39/49 are deprecated and aliased to OSC 10/11.
632 - cub1 now acts as advertised (and ignores the "wrapped" state).
633 - the 132/80 mode switch now forces a height of 24, too, and
634 resets the terminal.
635 - scrollbar code cleanups.
636 - stopping children is no longer confused with children exiting.
637 - removed (undocumented) #aarrggbb format.
638 - updated to libev 3.0.
639
6408.9 Mon Dec 24 07:51:40 CET 2007
641 - fix the issue where urxvtd would not immediately close a window
642 when the command exited but only on the next X event.
643 - changed terminfo file not to use application keypad mode.
644 - fix the issue where making a selection in one urxvtd window
645 would not clear it visually in another.
646 - fix an issue of urxvt not getting background pixmap updates
647 and flickering after bg pixmap changes (reported by Mikachu).
648 - fix redraw bug in xterm scrollbar with -sr (reported by Mikachu).
649 - correctly provide dependencies for libev (µikachu).
650 - minor code reorganisations and cleanups.
651 - be more robust in case the urxvt-popup extension cannot be loaded.
652
6538.8 Sat Dec 15 19:40:39 CET 2007
654 - option -C was aliased to all unsupported options, activating
655 options that shouldn't be compiled in, leading to interesting
656 effects.
657 - updated libev, working around a bug in linux 2.4, curing the
658 symptom of urxvt not closing its window on shell exit. also
659 fixes a problem with urxvt not refreshing.
660 - the text blink callback was called even when no blinking
661 text was visible.
662 - pre-8.4 slipwheeling behaviour has been reinstated, with
663 some minor improvements.
664 - streamlined x events processing to only flush once per
665 display and not once per terminal window.
666 - quite a bit of minor code cleanups and codesize optimisations.
667
6688.7 Sun Nov 25 10:23:49 CET 2007
669 - update libev with an important bugfix that would cause crashes
670 when closing windows (when using rxvtd, and update is recommended).
671 - do not compile in the block builtin graphics with --disable-frills.
672
6738.6 Fri Nov 23 14:10:57 CET 2007
674 - upgrade libev to disable kqueue on anything but netbsd as it
675 seems to be broken everywhere else w.r.t. ptys.
676 - allow for spurious event notifications, as at least epoll and
677 especially solaris ports like to lie about them (symptoms:
678 urxvt "hangs" until there is some x11 related activity).
679 - -keysym command line options are now subjected to xlib parsing.
680 - add 'xrm' option analogous to Xt one.
681
6828.5a Wed Nov 21 10:16:33 CET 2007
683 - make it compile with --disable-transparency.
684
6858.5 Wed Nov 21 05:19:20 CET 2007
686 - expect major portability issues in this release: please test and report.
687 - converted from the veritable io manager event loop to
688 the high performance libev (http://software.schmorp.de/pkg/libev).
689 - minor tuning to the perl selection (include single words and more quoting chars).
690 - fix memory leak in pixmap code.
691 - fix a serious bug while setting the XIM destroy callback
692 on (typical) 64 bit systems.
693 - automove-background functionality re-implemented internally using :root op in pixmap
694 geometry string. For example: rxvt -pixmap "image.jpg;:root"
695 - do not link rxvtc against every lib on the planet anymore.
696 - parallel builds should work once more.
697
6988.4 Sat Oct 27 14:02:13 CEST 2007
699 - overhaul of the transparency/pixmap code (sasha).
700 - fix possible race between visual bell and poweron.
701 (reported by Martin von Gagern, gentoo?).
702 - urxvt -e no longer crashes the child.
703 - fixed some minor memleaks on incorrect usage or
704 missing DISPLAY.
705 - implement xterm 1002/1003 mouse tracking modes (exg).
706 - source code organisational cleanups (exg).
707 - updated io_manager.
708
7098.3 Wed Aug 1 20:21:31 CEST 2007
710 - new option: skipScroll/-ss, enabled by default.
711 - go with the times and expect x11 library files in /usr/lib, not
712 /usr/X11R6/lib.
713 - initial transparency improvement/afterimage support
714 patch by Sasha Vasko.
715 - add urgentOnBell resource to set the urgency hint
716 (patch by Philip Paeps).
717 - do not process focus events caused by grabs
718 (patch by Mikachu).
719 - add iso14755_52 resource to disable iso14755 5.2 (exg).
720 - add binding for backspace in iso14755 5.1 to remove the last
721 digit (exg).
722 - better option handling, support more than 30 options (exg).
723 - nuke reconf script, serves no purpose anymore.
724 - fixed and documented matcher/on_user_command processing in matcher
725 extension (tpope).
726 - compile out of the box on Solaris 10 (exg).
727 - fix MappingNotify events (reported by Stephan Walter).
728 - zero-initialise mwmhints, this seems to solve all sorts of minor
729 problems.
730
7318.2 Sat Feb 17 21:35:28 CET 2007
732 - fix make depend in src/, reported by exg.
733 - fixed typo in urxvt::GET_CUSTOM, causing the result to be wrong.
734 (patch by Sergey Vlasov).
735 - unbundled iom perl interface somewhat.
736 - scrollbar-xterm now uses the selected scrollColor instead of fg
737 (found by Aiviru).
738 - disabled linux kernel bug workaround again: disabling it gives
739 a 50% speed hit on affected machines, while enabling it gives
740 a similar speed hit to screen, which is likely the more common
741 case to work around for :/
742 - urxvt::rend2mask perl function, and utilization of it by matcher
743 (patch by Moshe Kamensky).
744 - use perl:matcher on a keysym to open most recently displayed URL.
745 - with matcher, when multiple patterns match, last wins, not first.
746 - fix make and make install with srcdir != builddir (exg).
747 - updated bundled libptytty to fix a bug where the tty would be kept
748 open (see the libptytty ChangeLog for details).
749 - delay setting the IUTF8 flag to after the tty settings have been
750 set so its value does not get lost (reported and analysed by Andrei
751 Paskevich).
752 - rip out support for obsolete sgtty.h interface.
753 - rip out support for non-POSIX termios variants.
754 - update libptytty.
755 - update iom.C, make it call ptytty::sanitise_stdfd on init.
756 - when !XFT, change rounding of colours to use a less correct formula to
757 meet user expectancies (#aaa becomes #a000a000a000 not #9f9f9f9f9f9f).
758 - change the starting offset of the pixmap set with backgroundPixmap
759 from (50,50) to (0,0) (exg).
760 - fix a typo in button_release, now meta-button2 request the value of
761 the Clipboard selection as it should (patch by Serge Koksharov).
762 - fix a bug in drawing a cell with a nonspacing char when using an xft
763 font with inheritPixmap and tintColor (exg).
764
7658.1 Thu Dec 7 22:27:25 CET 2006
766 - ｹﾘｽﾏｽﾌ゚ﾚｾ゙ﾝﾄ - zomg!!1, it's too early!!!
767 - fix the assumption that chars < 256 are single-width. Now
768 only assume this for codepoints 32 to 126 (reported by Dai.H.).
769 - $term->strwidth returned wide chars as width 1, because some jerk
770 confused min and max. Fixing this also fixes xim-onthespot.
771 Reported by Takano Akio.
772 - secondaryScroll is now enabled by default (as per the manpage),
773 reported by exg.
774 - correct the description of [percent]color rgba format in the manpage.
775 - incorporated macosx-clipboard extension by Samuel Ljungkvist.
776 - ignore (some) useless focus events (reported by mmc).
777 - updated compose table to unicode 5.0.0.
778
7798.0 Thu Nov 2 18:35:19 CET 2006
780 - combining characters cleared the area instead of creating an overlay,
781 thus losing the ability to draw combining characters properly in most
782 circumstances (reported by exg).
783 - specified fonts were incorrectly morphed to bold/italic according to the
784 basefont, even if explicitly specified (tracked down by tpope).
785 - fixed urxvt::strwidth to calculate width in the same way as screen.C.
786 - fix a crash caused by passing negative widths to overlay functions.
787 - added 'matcher' extension by tpope, replacing the mark-urls extension.
788 - improve url regex to match anything www.* (tpope).
789 - fixed bug with outline cursor color being wrong after xft fonts.
790 - update to libptytty-1.0.
791 - give proper diagnostic when RXVT_SOCKET is too long instead of
792 corrupting the stack (patch by exg).
793 - display current terminal locale in option menu.
794 - urxvtd no longer crashes when the client sends an inaccessible
795 working directory (reported by Roland Baer, possibly fixes gentoo
796 bug #143985).
797 - fixed many minor issues reported by Roland Baer.
798 - Leonid Khramov spotted a minor glitch in rxvtfont.C that
799 should not have any consequences, but was buggy nonetheless.
800 - manpage fix by exg.
801
8027.9 Mon Aug 7 18:16:07 CEST 2006
803 - fix the crashing bug people encountered with 7.8 + urxvtd + perl
804 + transparency. Ought to fix debian bug #380348.
805 - fix urxvtc.1.pod: it actually claimed -pty-fd would not work. But
806 it does! :->
807 - rxvt_fatal() in case the locale string is too long for our static buffer.
808 - fixed many, many, typos in the manpages (patch supplied by ves).
809
8107.8 Mon Jul 17 21:00:46 CEST 2006
811 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: this version will always read ~/.Xdefaults,
812 earlier versions only read it if display-resources (usually from
813 .Xresources) are not set. This avoids the #1 FAQ ("why isn't my
814 resource used") and seems to be logical behaviour, too. .Xdefaults
815 resources have a lower priority than display-specific resources.
816 - add "kuake" perl extension that does a similar thing to the kuake
817 terminal emulator (see man urxvtperl).
818 - use less "correct" color scaling that is compatible with libX11 and
819 Xft (avoids off-by-one colors resulting in striped backgrounds).
820 - the "depth" resource is now respected.
821 - preset the searchable-scrollback pattern with "(?i)" to default search
822 to case-insensitivity. Will automatically be cleared when typing an
823 uppercase character.
824 - add FORCE_UNBUFFERED_XFT define to features.h.
825 - re-enabled highlightcolor support with --enable-frills, based on
826 a patch by Martin Stubenschrott.
827 - double-buffered xft drawing did suffer from pixel offset issues
828 when pixmap transparency was enabled.
829 - strategically add # to the url-match regexes, as we really want to
830 match common URIs not common URLs. Reported by Aaron Griffin.
831 - moved on_osc_seq to on_osc_seq_perl and added a more
832 generic osc_seq.
833 - fix a bug causing double callback invocations when perl hooks
834 were invoked recursively.
835 - the automove-background extension now properly works when the
836 pixmap gets reset with an osc sequence (sqweek).
837 - selection-pastebin did not work properly with non-latin1-characters.
838 - apply colorUL only when the text colour is the default fg
839 (patch by Wu Fengguang).
840 - removed rxvtlib.h from the tarball, it had no reason to be there
841 (spotted by Decklin Foster).
842 - fix compiling with TRANSPARENT but !XPM_BACKGROUND, as reported
843 by omatunto_.
844 - slap in a using namespace std, might help on platforms that don't
845 follow C++ closely enough.
846 - fix mailto url regex, spotted within milliseconds by Jost Krieger.
847 - applied fade_color_update_func.patch by WU Fengguang.
848 - fix a bug where (due to an optimisation in av_delete), hiding the
849 bottom-most overlay would hide two overlays.
850
8517.7 Tue Feb 21 12:32:49 CET 2006
852 - use double-buffered drawing (xft fonts only). On many driver/hardware
853 combination this actually increases xft drawing speed, at the expense
854 of more network bandwidth and slight nausea on the side of the author.
855 - readline perl extension now requires shift-click instead of a normal
856 click, and eats the click.
857 - tabbed perl extension now supports -e.
858 - disabled graphics-exposures on the main drawing GC, report any
859 refresh bugs please.
860 - improve property handling for -pe tabbed: avoid unnecessary property
861 changes (for kde's benefit) at the expense of extra round-trips,
862 improve size hint setting.
863 - modified XIM according to a patch sent by Takano Akio that sets
864 the preedit rectangle for OverTheSpot, which helps some input methods
865 to correctly position their preedit window.
866 - un-optimise the line clearing on newly scrolled-in lines a bit: the
867 former reasoning was that any fg colour on default bg looks the same
868 in empty spaces, but that's not true when reversing (e.g. selection),
869 so also check for matching fg colours. This fixes the problem where
870 selecting newly scrolled-in lines would exhibit wrong colours.
871 - fix a bug in the perl interface causing focus in events to generate
872 focus out perl events, causing bad focus effects with -pe tabbed.
873 - fix a race resulting in a crash on exiting.
874 - fix a with --disable-xft that caused xfreecolors to be called on
875 colors never allocated, resulting in aborts (reported by Paco-Paco).
876 - resources on non-initial screens weren't refetched correctly
877 (reported by Paco-Paco).
878 - fix a bug in xcopyarea pass and _disable_ it, as it seems not to be
879 working in either rxvt-unicode nor in the original rxvt.
880 - removed undocumented -exec alias for the -e option.
881
8827.6 Fri Feb 10 08:52:36 CET 2006
883 - changed interpretation of [alpha] colour prefix.
884 - +option now really sets the option to default, instead of using the
885 resource value.
886 - options that require an argument now really _require_ an argument.
887 - the tabbed extension now forwards focus and key events to the
888 relevant tab window.
889 - tab colours are now configurable and have sensible defaults
890 (initial patch by hednod).
891 - option menu is extendable, readline, selection and
892 selection-autotransform can now be disabled/enabled at runtime.
893 - forcing a configure event to tabbed subwindows with -pe tabbed, for
894 the benefit of automove-background.
895 - the automove-background extension added a wrong constant offset.
896 - force refresh of XA_RESOURCE_STRING on virtual reconnect.
897 - return exit status 2 in urxvtc when urxvtd couldn't be contacted.
898 - the linux yield hack is back, now using usleep, and enabled only on
899 __linux__.
900 - further round trip eliminations in the !XFT case by remembering
901 the colour components.
902 - plain scrollbar works better with -sr.
903 - fixed half-shadow scrollbar look.
904 - more colour rtt optimisations.
905 - properly(?) free colours on window close.
906 - reorganised the FAQ into multiple sections.
907 - add ISO646.1991-IRV to the list of supported codesets.
908 - minor libptytty update.
909
9107.5 Tue Jan 31 15:15:43 CET 2006
911 - further improvements to the careful mode detection, and font width
912 detection:
913 - fully double-wide fonts will now be correctly treated,
914 - overlap detection was improved.
915 - detect totally broken fonts (usually synthesized by xft).
916 - careful mode forced refresh sometimes clashed with blinking,
917 causing unnecessary screen redraws.
918 - better handling of XFT combining characters.
919 - enable antialiasing for some replacement fonts, as they
920 might get used for other encodings which really need it, later.
921 - remove spacing=100 from all default fonts, as this creates totally
922 weird spacing (5 times normal) with xft.
923 - removed iso10646 fallback, as xorgs iso10646 encoded fonts are mostly
924 broken.
925 - removed gnu unifont fallback, all combining characters are broken.
926 - replace named colours by xorg's rgb.txt equivalents, to
927 reduce round trip time on startup, and short-cut allocation
928 of rgb:rr/gg/bb for xft.
929 - short-cut allocation of rgb values in the xlib case
930 (patch by Paco-Paco).
931 - overhauled color management: smaller codesize, alpha support.
932 - support "rgba:rrrr/gggg/bbbb/aaaa" color specifications and
933 an "[alpha]" prefix.
934 - try to work around Xft and Xrender forcing everything to be 100%
935 transparent. Long Live Xft!
936 - do not include X11/Intrinsic.h anymore, directly use
937 Xlib/Xutil/Xresource directly.
938 - try to find a nearest matching color when color allocation fails
939 on a pseudocolor screen.
940 - SYNCCVS: compared to rxvt-cvs 2006-01-28, no relevant changes.
941 - fix version report (DA) (which was unfortunately broken).
942 - changed version number report again, now to emulate xterm closer.
943 - added the OSC sequence 702 to detect the urxvt version number.
944 - small configure updates.
945 - further RTT optimisations.
946 - backported clean-up patches for makefiles and documentation from
947 the debian package.
948 - updated doc/rxvt-unicode.spec file. It's still not maintained here,
949 but much newer than the old one.
950
9517.4 Sat Jan 28 15:26:27 CET 2006
952 - screen background wasn't always erased properly when scrolling,
