3TODO: init_secondary serves what purpose? maybe move it to earlier startup phase and re-think
4TODO: xcopyarea pass broken, fix and improve
3TODO: event mechanism that replaces on_keyboard_command with something more scalable. 5TODO: event mechanism that replaces on_keyboard_command with something more scalable.
4TODO: simplify selection_request and make it callable from perl. 6TODO: slipwheeling needs a keyboard grab to get key release events.
5TODO: split perl documentation and urxvt.pm into separate files 7TODO: overlays collide with the way the out-of-focus cursor is being drawn
6TODO: harmonize --disable-options into position-dependent options.
7TODO: after requesting the selection and getting a timeout, no further requests will be sent.
8TODO: "slow" rendering mode for bidi and scripts 8TODO: "slow" rendering mode for bidi and scripts, pango!
9TODO: read property sequence is broken with respect to utf-8 etc. 9TODO: read property sequence is broken with respect to utf-8 etc.
10WISH: anyevent mouse notification / manage MotionMask better. 10TODO: slow drag selection on remote display - other things seem fast (rxvt illness, motion hints?)
11WISH: just for fun, do shade and tint with XRender. 11TODO: investigate -pe tabbed -g 80x25 being 23 not 24 or 25 lines
12WISH: http://www120.pair.com/mccarthy/nextstep/intro.htmld/Workspace.html is the correct nextstep look. 12 => when setting the constraints, the wm might (correctly)
13 resize the outer window, which might result in a smaller window overall.
14 or something like that. guys, send me a patch.
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?
13DUMB: support tex fonts 18DUMB: support tex fonts

15TODO: overlays collide with the way the out-of-focus cursor is being drawn 20 - check for refresh after initialising to avoid staying blank
21 till the first event arrives. or so.
22 - continuously update transparency while moving/resizing now.
23 - scrollbar code cleanups.
24 - cub1 now acts as advertised (and ignores the "wrapped" state).
25 - the 132/80 mode switch now forces a height of 24, too, and
26 resets the terminal.
27
288.9 Mon Dec 24 07:51:40 CET 2007
29 - fix the issue where urxvtd would not immediately close a window
30 when the command exited but only on the next X event.
31 - changed terminfo file not to use application keypad mode.
32 - fix the issue where making a selection in one urxvtd window
33 would not clear it visually in another.
34 - fix an issue of urxvt not getting background pixmap updates
35 and flickering after bg pixmap changes (reported by Mikachu).
36 - fix redraw bug in xterm scrollbar with -sr (reported by Mikachu).
37 - correctly provide dependencies for libev (µikachu).
38 - minor code reorganisations and cleanups.
39 - be more robust in case the urxvt-popup extension cannot be loaded.
40
418.8 Sat Dec 15 19:40:39 CET 2007
42 - option -C was aliased to all unsupported options, activating
43 options that shouldn't be compiled in, leading to interesting
44 effects.
45 - updated libev, working around a bug in linux 2.4, curing the
46 symptom of urxvt not closing its window on shell exit. also
47 fixes a problem with urxvt not refreshing.
48 - the text blink callback was called even when no blinking
49 text was visible.
50 - pre-8.4 slipwheeling behaviour has been reinstated, with
51 some minor improvements.
52 - streamlined x events processing to only flush once per
53 display and not once per terminal window.
54 - quite a bit of minor code cleanups and codesize optimisations.
55
568.7 Sun Nov 25 10:23:49 CET 2007
57 - update libev with an important bugfix that would cause crashes
58 when closing windows (when using rxvtd, and update is recommended).
59 - do not compile in the block builtin graphics with --disable-frills.
60
618.6 Fri Nov 23 14:10:57 CET 2007
62 - upgrade libev to disable kqueue on anything but netbsd as it
63 seems to be broken everywhere else w.r.t. ptys.
64 - allow for spurious event notifications, as at least epoll and
65 especially solaris ports like to lie about them (symptoms:
66 urxvt "hangs" until there is some x11 related activity).
67 - -keysym command line options are now subjected to xlib parsing.
68 - add 'xrm' option analogous to Xt one.
69
708.5a Wed Nov 21 10:16:33 CET 2007
71 - make it compile with --disable-transparency.
72
738.5 Wed Nov 21 05:19:20 CET 2007
74 - expect major portability issues in this release: please test and report.
75 - converted from the veritable io manager event loop to
76 the high performance libev (http://software.schmorp.de/pkg/libev).
77 - minor tuning to the perl selection (include single words and more quoting chars).
78 - fix memory leak in pixmap code.
79 - fix a serious bug while setting the XIM destroy callback
80 on (typical) 64 bit systems.
81 - automove-background functionality re-implemented internaly using :root op in pixmap
82 geometry string. For example: rxvt -pixmap "image.jpg;:root"
83 - do not link rxvtc against every lib on the planet anymore.
84 - parallel builds should work once more.
85
868.4 Sat Oct 27 14:02:13 CEST 2007
87 - overhaul of the transparency/pixmap code (sasha).
88 - fix possible race betwen visual bell and poweron.
89 (reported by Martin von Gagern, gentoo?).
90 - urxvt -e no longer crashes the child.
91 - fixed some minor memleaks on incorrect usage or
92 missing DISPLAY.
93 - implement xterm 1002/1003 mouse tracking modes (exg).
94 - source code organisational cleanups (exg).
95 - updated io_manager.
96
978.3 Wed Aug 1 20:21:31 CEST 2007
98 - new option: skipScroll/-ss, enabled by default.
99 - go with the times and expect x11 library files in /usr/lib, not
100 /usr/X11R6/lib.
101 - initial transparency improvement/afterimage support
102 patch by Sasha Vasko.
103 - add urgentOnBell resource to set the urgency hint
104 (patch by Philip Paeps).
105 - do not process focus events caused by grabs
106 (patch by Mikachu).
107 - add iso14755_52 resource to disable iso14755 5.2 (exg).
108 - add binding for backspace in iso14755 5.1 to remove the last
109 digit (exg).
110 - better option handling, support more than 30 options (exg).
111 - nuke reconf script, serves no purpose anymore.

113 extension (tpope).
114 - compile out of the box on Solaris 10 (exg).
115 - fix MappingNotify events (reported by Stephan Walter).
116 - zero-initialise mwmhints, this seems to solve all sorts of minor
117 problems.
118
1198.2 Sat Feb 17 21:35:28 CET 2007
120 - fix make depend in src/, reported by exg.
121 - fixed typo in urxvt::GET_CUSTOM, causing the result to be wrong.
122 (patch by Sergey Vlasov).
123 - unbundled iom perl interface somewhat.
124 - scrollbar-xterm now uses the selected scrollColor instead of fg
125 (found by Aiviru).
126 - disabled linux kernel bug workaround again: disabling it gives
127 a 50% speed hit on affected machines, while enabling it gives
128 a similar speed hit to screen, which is likely the more common
129 case to work around for :/
130 - urxvt::rend2mask perl function, and utilization of it by matcher
131 (patch by Moshe Kamensky).
132 - use perl:matcher on a keysym to open most recently displayed URL.
133 - with matcher, when multiple patterns match, last wins, not first.
134 - fix make and make install with srcdir != builddir (exg).
135 - updated bundled libptytty to fix a bug where the tty would be kept
136 open (see the libptytty ChangeLog for details).
137 - delay setting the IUTF8 flag to after the tty settings have been
138 set so its value does not get lost (reported and analysed by Andrei
139 Paskevich).
140 - rip out support for obsolete sgtty.h interface.
141 - rip out support for non-POSIX termios variants.
142 - update libptytty.
143 - update iom.C, make it call ptytty::sanitise_stdfd on init.
144 - when !XFT, change rounding of colours to use a less correct formula to
145 meet user expectancies (#aaa becomes #a000a000a000 not #9f9f9f9f9f9f).
146 - change the starting offset of the pixmap set with backgroundPixmap
147 from (50,50) to (0,0) (exg).
148 - fix a typo in button_release, now meta-button2 request the value of
149 the Clipboard selection as it should (patch by Serge Koksharov).
150 - fix a bug in drawing a cell with a nonspacing char when using an xft
151 font with inheritPixmap and tintColor (exg).
152
1538.1 Thu Dec 7 22:27:25 CET 2006
154 - ケリスマスプレゼント - zomg!!1, it's too early!!!
155 - fix the assumption that chars < 256 are single-width. Now
156 only assume this for codepoints 32 to 126 (reported by Dai.H.).
157 - $term->strwidth returned wide chars as width 1, because some jerk
158 confused min and max. Fixing this also fixes xim-onthespot.
159 Reported by Takano Akio.
160 - secondaryScroll is now enabled by default (as per the manpage),
161 reported by exg.
162 - correct the description of [percent]color rgba format in the manpage.
163 - incorporated macosx-clipboard extension by Samuel Ljungkvist.
164 - ignore (some) useless focus events (reported by mmc).
165 - updated compose table to unicode 5.0.0.
166
1678.0 Thu Nov 2 18:35:19 CET 2006
168 - combining characters cleared the area instead of creating an overlay,
169 thus losing the ability to draw combining characters properly in most
170 circumstances (reported by exg).
171 - specified fonts were incorrectly morphed to bold/italic according to the
172 basefont, even if explicitly specified (tracked down by tpope).
173 - fixed urxvt::strwidth to calculate width in the same way as screen.C.
174 - fix a crash caused by passing negative widths to overlay functions.
175 - added 'matcher' extension by tpope, replacing the mark-urls extension.
176 - improve url regex to match anything www.* (tpope).
177 - fixed bug with outline cursor color being wrong after xft fonts.
178 - update to libptytty-1.0.
179 - give proper diagnostic when RXVT_SOCKET is too long instead of
180 corrupting the stack (patch by exg).
181 - display current terminal locale in option menu.
182 - urxvtd no longer crashes when the client sends an inaccessible
183 working directory (reported by Roland Baer, possibly fixes gentoo
184 bug #143985).
185 - fixed many minor issues reported by Roland Baer.
186 - Leonid Khramov spotted a minor glitch in rxvtfont.C that
187 should not have any consequences, but was buggy nonetheless.
188 - manpage fix by exg.
189
1907.9 Mon Aug 7 18:16:07 CEST 2006
191 - fix the crashing bug people encountered with 7.8 + urxvtd + perl
192 + transparency. Ought to fix debian bug #380348.
193 - fix urxvtc.1.pod: it actually claimed -pty-fd would not work. But
194 it does! :->
195 - rxvt_fatal() in case the locale string is too long for our static buffer.
196 - fixed many, many, typos in the manpages (patch supplied by ves).
197
1987.8 Mon Jul 17 21:00:46 CEST 2006
199 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: this version will always read ~/.Xdefaults,
200 earlier versions only read it if display-resources (usually from
201 .Xresources) are not set. This avoids the #1 FAQ ("why isn't my
202 resource used") and seems to be logical behaviour, too. .Xdefaults
203 resources have a lower priority than display-specific resources.
204 - add "kuake" perl extension that does a similar thing to the kuake
205 terminal emulator (see man urxtvperl).
206 - use less "correct" color scaling that is compatible with libX11 and
207 Xft (avoids off-by-one colors resulting in striped backgrounds).
208 - the "depth" resource is now respected.
209 - preset the searchable-scrollback pattern with "(?i)" to default search
210 to case-insensitivity. Will automatically be cleared when typing an
211 uppercase character.
212 - add FORCE_UNBUFFERED_XFT define to features.h.
213 - re-enabled highlightcolor support with --enable-frills, based on
214 a patch by Martin Stubenschrott.
215 - double-buffered xft drawing did suffer from pixel offset issues
216 when pixmap transparency was enabled.
217 - strategically add # to the url-match regexes, as we really want to
218 match common URIs not common URLs. Reported by Aaron Griffin.
219 - moved on_osc_seq to on_osc_seq_perl and added a more
220 generic osc_seq.
221 - fix a bug causing double callback invocations when perl hooks
222 were invoked recursively.
223 - the automove-background extension now properly works when the
224 pixmap gets reset with an osc sequence (sqweek).
225 - selection-pastebin did not work properly with non-latin1-characters.
226 - apply colorUL only when the text colour is the default fg
227 (patch by Wu Fengguang).
228 - removed rxvtlib.h from the tarball, it had no reason to be there
229 (spotted by Decklin Foster).
230 - fix compiling with TRANSPARENT but !XPM_BACKGROUND, as reported
231 by omatunto_.
232 - slap in a using namespace std, might help on platforms that don't
233 follow C++ closely enough.
234 - fix mailto url regex, spotted within milliseconds by Jost Krieger.
235 - applied fade_color_update_func.patch by WU Fengguang.
236 - fix a bug where (due to an optimisation in av_delete), hiding the
237 bottom-most overlay would hide two overlays.
238
2397.7 Tue Feb 21 12:32:49 CET 2006
240 - use double-buffered drawing (xft fonts only). On many driver/hardware
241 combination this actually increases xft drawing speed, at the expense
242 of more network bandwidth and slight nausea on the side of the author.
243 - readline perl extension now requires shift-click instead of a normal
244 click, and eats the click.
245 - tabbed perl extension now supports -e.
246 - disabled graphics-exposures on the main drawing GC, report any
247 refresh bugs please.
248 - improve property handling for -pe tabbed: avoid unnecessary property
249 changes (for kde's benefit) at the expense of extra round-trips,
250 improve size hint setting.
251 - modified XIM according to a patch sent by Takano Akio that sets
252 the preedit rectangle for OverTheSpot, which helps some input methods
253 to correctly position their preedit window.
254 - un-optimise the line clearing on newly scrolled-in lines a bit: the
255 former reasoning was that any fg colour on default bg looks the same
256 in empty spaces, but thats not true when reversing (e.g. selection),
257 so also check for matching fg colours. This fixes the problem where
258 selecting newly scrolled-in lines would exhibit wrong colours.
259 - fix a bug in the perl interface causing focus in events to generate
260 focus out perl events, causing bad focus effects with -pe tabbed.
261 - fix a race resulting in a crash on exiting.
262 - fix a with --disable-xft that caused xfreecolors to be called on
263 colors never allocated, resulting in aborts (reported by Paco-Paco).
264 - resources on non-initial screens weren't refetched correctly
265 (reported by Paco-Paco).
266 - fix a bug in xcopyarea pass and _disable_ it, as it seems not to be
267 working in either rxvt-unicode nor in the original rxvt.
268 - removed undocumented -exec alias for the -e option.
269
2707.6 Fri Feb 10 08:52:36 CET 2006
271 - changed interpretation of [alpha] colour prefix.
272 - +option now really sets the option to default, instead of using the
273 resource value.
274 - options that require an argument now really _require_ an argument.
275 - the tabbed extension now forwards focus and keys events to th
276 relevant tab window.
277 - tab colours are now configurable and have sensible defaults
278 (initial patch by hednod).
279 - option menu is extendable, readline, selection and
280 selection-autotransform can now be disabled/enabled at runtime.
281 - forcing a configure event to tabbed subwindows with -pe tabbed, for
282 the benefit of automove-background.
283 - the automove-background extension added a wrong constant offset.
284 - force refresh of XA_RESOURCE_STRING on virtual reconnect.
285 - return exit status 2 in urxvtc when urxvtd couldn't be contacted.
286 - the linux yield hack is back, now using usleep, and enabled only on
287 __linux__.
288 - further round trip eliminations in the !XFT case by remembering
289 the colour components.
290 - plain scrollbar works better with -sr.
291 - fixed half-shadow scrollbar look.
292 - more colour rtt optimisations.
293 - properly(?) free colours on window close.
294 - reorganised the FAQ into multiple sections.
295 - add ISO646.1991-IRV to the list of supported codesets.
296 - minor libptytty update.
297
2987.5 Tue Jan 31 15:15:43 CET 2006
299 - further improvements to the careful mode detection, and font width
300 detection:
301 - fully double-wide fonts will now be correctly treated,
302 - overlap detection was improved.
303 - detect totally broken fonts (usually synthesized by xft).
304 - careful mode forced refresh sometimes clashed with blinking,
305 causing unnecessary screen redraws.
306 - better handling of XFT combining characters.
307 - enable antialiasing for some replacement fonts, as they
308 might get used for other encodings which really need it, later.
309 - remove spacing=100 from all default fonts, as this creates totally
310 weird spacing (5 times normal) with xft.
311 - removed iso10646 fallback, as xorgs iso10646 encoded fonts are mostly
312 broken.
313 - removed gnu unifont fallback, all combining characters are broken.
314 - replace named colours by xorg's rgb.txt equivalents, to
315 reduce round trip time on startup, and short-cut allocation
316 of rgb:rr/gg/bb for xft.
317 - short-cut allocation of rgb values in the xlib case
318 (patch by Paco-Paco).
319 - overhauled color management: smaller codesize, alpha support.
320 - support "rgba:rrrr/gggg/bbbb/aaaa" color specifications and
321 an "[alpha]" prefix.
322 - try to work around Xft and Xrender forcing everything to be 100%
323 transparent. Long Live Xft!
324 - do not include X11/Intrinsic.h anymore, directly use
325 Xlib/Xutil/Xresource directly.
326 - try to find a nearest matching color when color allocation fails
327 on a pseudocolor screen.
328 - SYNCCVS: compared to rxvt-cvs 2006-01-28, no relevant changes.
329 - fix version report (DA) (which was unfortunately broken).
330 - changed version number report again, now to emulate xterm closer.
331 - added the OSC sequence 702 to detect the urxvt version number.
332 - small configure updates.
333 - further RTT optimisations.
334 - backported clean-up patches for makefiles and documentation from
335 the debian package.
336 - updated doc/rxvt-unicode.spec file. It's still not maintained here,
337 but much newer than the old one.
338
3397.4 Sat Jan 28 15:26:27 CET 2006
340 - screen background wasn't always erased properly when scrolling,
341 - re-enabled clearing optimisation disabled in 7.4pre.
342 - small configure updates for libptytty.
343 - fixed version options: line output.
344 - removed stoopid debugging message left in the code.
345
3467.3 Wed Jan 25 22:47:35 CET 2006
16 - don't let iso14755 or mouse reporting get into the way of perl 347 - don't let iso14755 or mouse reporting get into the way of perl

355 - added -depth switch that tries to get a different visual depth
356 than the default (replaces the old PREFER_24_BIT logic).
24 - removed (unused) arabic presentation form composing sequences. 357 - removed (unused) arabic presentation form composing sequences.
