9TODO: slow drag selection on remote display - other things seem fast (rxvt illness, motion hints?)
10TODO: investigate -pe tabbed -g 80x25 being 23 not 24 or 25 lines
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?
10WISH: anyevent mouse notification / manage MotionMask better. 18WISH: anyevent mouse notification / manage MotionMask better.
11WISH: just for fun, do shade and tint with XRender.
12WISH: http://www120.pair.com/mccarthy/nextstep/intro.htmld/Workspace.html is the correct nextstep look. 19WISH: http://www120.pair.com/mccarthy/nextstep/intro.htmld/Workspace.html is the correct nextstep scrollbar look.
20WISH: kick out xpm.C, replace by pixbuf

23TODO: fix rounding of colors when !xft (#aaaaaa => #a9a900) (do not use correct, but expected value)
24 - fix make depend in src/, reported by exg.
25 - fixed typo in urxvt::GET_CUSTOM, causing the result to be wrong.
26 (patch by Sergey Vlasov).
27 - unbundled iom perl interface somewhat.
28 - scrollbar-xterm now uses the selected scrollColor instead of fg
29 (found by Aiviru).
30 - disabled linux kernel bug workaround again: disabling it gives
31 a 50% speed hit on affected machines, while enabling it gives
32 a similar speed hit to screen, which is likely the more common
33 case to work around for :/
34 - urxvt::rend2mask perl function, and utilization of it by matcher
35 (patch by Moshe Kamensky).
36 - use perl:matcher on a keysym to open most recently displayed URL.
37 - with matcher, when multiple patterns match, last wins, not first.
38 - fix make and make install with srcdir != builddir.
39 - updated bundled libptytty to fix a bug where the tty would be kept
40 open (see the libptytty ChangeLog for details).
41
428.1 Thu Dec 7 22:27:25 CET 2006
43 - ケリスマスプレゼント - zomg!!1, it's too early!!!
44 - fix the assumption that chars < 256 are single-width. Now
45 only assume this for codepoints 32 to 126 (reported by Dai.H.).
46 - $term->strwidth returned wide chars as width 1, because some jerk
47 confused min and max. Fixing this also fixes xim-onthespot.
48 Reported by Takano Akio.
49 - secondaryScroll is now enabled by default (as per the manpage),
50 reported by exg.
51 - correct the description of [percent]color rgba format in the manpage.
52 - incorporated macosx-clipboard extension by Samuel Ljungkvist.
53 - ignore (some) useless focus events (reported by mmc).
54 - updated compose table to unicode 5.0.0.
55
568.0 Thu Nov 2 18:35:19 CET 2006
57 - combining characters cleared the area instead of creating an overlay,
58 thus losing the ability to draw combining characters properly in most
59 circumstances (reported by exg).
60 - specified fonts were incorrectly morphed to bold/italic according to the
61 basefont, even if explicitly specified (tracked down by tpope).
62 - fixed urxvt::strwidth to calculate width in the same way as screen.C.
63 - fix a crash caused by passing negative widths to overlay functions.
64 - added 'matcher' extension by tpope, replacing the mark-urls extension.
65 - improve url regex to match anything www.* (tpope).
66 - fixed bug with outline cursor color being wrong after xft fonts.
67 - update to libptytty-1.0.
68 - give proper diagnostic when RXVT_SOCKET is too long instead of
69 corrupting the stack (patch by exg).
70 - display current terminal locale in option menu.
71 - urxvtd no longer crashes when the client sends an inaccessible
72 working directory (reported by Roland Baer, possibly fixes gentoo
73 bug #143985).
74 - fixed many minor issues reported by Roland Baer.
75 - Leonid Khramov spotted a minor glitch in rxvtfont.C that
76 should not have any consequences, but was buggy nonetheless.
77 - manpage fix by exg.
78
797.9 Mon Aug 7 18:16:07 CEST 2006
80 - fix the crashing bug people encountered with 7.8 + urxvtd + perl
81 + transparency. Ought to fix debian bug #380348.
82 - fix urxvtc.1.pod: it actually claimed -pty-fd would not work. But
83 it does! :->
84 - rxvt_fatal() in case the locale string is too long for our static buffer.
85 - fixed many, many, typos in the manpages (patch supplied by ves).
86
877.8 Mon Jul 17 21:00:46 CEST 2006
88 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: this version will always read ~/.Xdefaults,
89 earlier versions only read it if display-resources (usually from
90 .Xresources) are not set. This avoids the #1 FAQ ("why isn't my
91 resource used") and seems to be logical behaviour, too. .Xdefaults
92 resources have a lower priority than display-specific resources.
93 - add "kuake" perl extension that does a similar thing to the kuake
94 terminal emulator (see man urxtvperl).
95 - use less "correct" color scaling that is compatible with libX11 and
96 Xft (avoids off-by-one colors resulting in striped backgrounds).
97 - the "depth" resource is now respected.
98 - preset the searchable-scrollback pattern with "(?i)" to default search
99 to case-insensitivity. Will automatically be cleared when typing an
100 uppercase character.
101 - add FORCE_UNBUFFERED_XFT define to features.h.
102 - re-enabled highlightcolor support with --enable-frills, based on
103 a patch by Martin Stubenschrott.
104 - double-buffered xft drawing did suffer from pixel offset issues
105 when pixmap transparency was enabled.
106 - strategically add # to the url-match regexes, as we really want to
107 match common URIs not common URLs. Reported by Aaron Griffin.
108 - moved on_osc_seq to on_osc_seq_perl and added a more
109 generic osc_seq.
110 - fix a bug causing double callback invocations when perl hooks
111 were invoked recursively.
112 - the automove-background extension now properly works when the
113 pixmap gets reset with an osc sequence (sqweek).
114 - selection-pastebin did not work properly with non-latin1-characters.
115 - apply colorUL only when the text colour is the default fg
116 (patch by Wu Fengguang).
117 - removed rxvtlib.h from the tarball, it had no reason to be there
118 (spotted by Decklin Foster).
119 - fix compiling with TRANSPARENT but !XPM_BACKGROUND, as reported
120 by omatunto_.
121 - slap in a using namespace std, might help on platforms that don't
122 follow C++ closely enough.
123 - fix mailto url regex, spotted within milliseconds by Jost Krieger.
124 - applied fade_color_update_func.patch by WU Fengguang.
125 - fix a bug where (due to an optimisation in av_delete), hiding the
126 bottom-most overlay would hide two overlays.
127
1287.7 Tue Feb 21 12:32:49 CET 2006
129 - use double-buffered drawing (xft fonts only). On many driver/hardware
130 combination this actually increases xft drawing speed, at the expense
131 of more network bandwidth and slight nausea on the side of the author.
132 - readline perl extension now requires shift-click instead of a normal
133 click, and eats the click.
134 - tabbed perl extension now supports -e.
135 - disabled graphics-exposures on the main drawing GC, report any
136 refresh bugs please.
137 - improve property handling for -pe tabbed: avoid unnecessary property
138 changes (for kde's benefit) at the expense of extra round-trips,
139 improve size hint setting.
140 - modified XIM according to a patch sent by Takano Akio that sets
141 the preedit rectangle for OverTheSpot, which helps some input methods
142 to correctly position their preedit window.
143 - un-optimise the line clearing on newly scrolled-in lines a bit: the
144 former reasoning was that any fg colour on default bg looks the same
145 in empty spaces, but thats not true when reversing (e.g. selection),
146 so also check for matching fg colours. This fixes the problem where
147 selecting newly scrolled-in lines would exhibit wrong colours.
148 - fix a bug in the perl interface causing focus in events to generate
149 focus out perl events, causing bad focus effects with -pe tabbed.
150 - fix a race resulting in a crash on exiting.
151 - fix a with --disable-xft that caused xfreecolors to be called on
152 colors never allocated, resulting in aborts (reported by Paco-Paco).
153 - resources on non-initial screens weren't refetched correctly
154 (reported by Paco-Paco).
155 - fix a bug in xcopyarea pass and _disable_ it, as it seems not to be
156 working in either rxvt-unicode nor in the original rxvt.
157 - removed undocumented -exec alias for the -e option.
158
1597.6 Fri Feb 10 08:52:36 CET 2006
160 - changed interpretation of [alpha] colour prefix.
161 - +option now really sets the option to default, instead of using the
162 resource value.
163 - options that require an argument now really _require_ an argument.
164 - the tabbed extension now forwards focus and keys events to th
165 relevant tab window.
166 - tab colours are now configurable and have sensible defaults
167 (initial patch by hednod).
168 - option menu is extendable, readline, selection and
169 selection-autotransform can now be disabled/enabled at runtime.
170 - forcing a configure event to tabbed subwindows with -pe tabbed, for
171 the benefit of automove-background.
172 - the automove-background extension added a wrong constant offset.
173 - force refresh of XA_RESOURCE_STRING on virtual reconnect.
174 - return exit status 2 in urxvtc when urxvtd couldn't be contacted.
175 - the linux yield hack is back, now using usleep, and enabled only on
176 __linux__.
177 - further round trip eliminations in the !XFT case by remembering
178 the colour components.
179 - plain scrollbar works better with -sr.
180 - fixed half-shadow scrollbar look.
181 - more colour rtt optimisations.
182 - properly(?) free colours on window close.
183 - reorganised the FAQ into multiple sections.
184 - add ISO646.1991-IRV to the list of supported codesets.
185 - minor libptytty update.
186
1877.5 Tue Jan 31 15:15:43 CET 2006
188 - further improvements to the careful mode detection, and font width
189 detection:
190 - fully double-wide fonts will now be correctly treated,
191 - overlap detection was improved.
192 - detect totally broken fonts (usually synthesized by xft).
193 - careful mode forced refresh sometimes clashed with blinking,
194 causing unnecessary screen redraws.
195 - better handling of XFT combining characters.
196 - enable antialiasing for some replacement fonts, as they
197 might get used for other encodings which really need it, later.
198 - remove spacing=100 from all default fonts, as this creates totally
199 weird spacing (5 times normal) with xft.
200 - removed iso10646 fallback, as xorgs iso10646 encoded fonts are mostly
201 broken.
202 - removed gnu unifont fallback, all combining characters are broken.
203 - replace named colours by xorg's rgb.txt equivalents, to
204 reduce round trip time on startup, and short-cut allocation
205 of rgb:rr/gg/bb for xft.
206 - short-cut allocation of rgb values in the xlib case
207 (patch by Paco-Paco).
208 - overhauled color management: smaller codesize, alpha support.
209 - support "rgba:rrrr/gggg/bbbb/aaaa" color specifications and
210 an "[alpha]" prefix.
211 - try to work around Xft and Xrender forcing everything to be 100%
212 transparent. Long Live Xft!
213 - do not include X11/Intrinsic.h anymore, directly use
214 Xlib/Xutil/Xresource directly.
215 - try to find a nearest matching color when color allocation fails
216 on a pseudocolor screen.
217 - SYNCCVS: compared to rxvt-cvs 2006-01-28, no relevant changes.
218 - fix version report (DA) (which was unfortunately broken).
219 - changed version number report again, now to emulate xterm closer.
220 - added the OSC sequence 702 to detect the urxvt version number.
221 - small configure updates.
222 - further RTT optimisations.
223 - backported clean-up patches for makefiles and documentation from
224 the debian package.
225 - updated doc/rxvt-unicode.spec file. It's still not maintained here,
226 but much newer than the old one.
227
2287.4 Sat Jan 28 15:26:27 CET 2006
229 - screen background wasn't always erased properly when scrolling,
230 - re-enabled clearing optimisation disabled in 7.4pre.
231 - small configure updates for libptytty.
232 - fixed version options: line output.
233 - removed stoopid debugging message left in the code.
