13 resize the outer window, which might result in a smaller window overall.
14 or something like that. guys, send me a patch.

157.4pre 23TODO: perl selection object creation/destruction
24 - fix compilation on GNU/Hurd, debian bug #624736.
25 - remove 'list' syntax for keysym resources, as it serves no useful purpose.
26 If you need it, poke us and provide a use case.
27 - fix alpha channel support. Premultiply alpha in colours if the visual
28 supports an alpha channel, as xrender expects premultiplied alpha
29 (Emanuele Giaquinta).
30 - fix reply to a selection request sent by an obsolete client
31 such as syncterm (patch by Marcin Cieslak).
32 - fix crash when the window is resized and the overlay is active
33 (Emanuele Giaquinta, reported by Ryan Kavanagh).
34 - match character-wise rather than byte-wise in selection
35 extension again. perl 5.8.9+ is required to avoid extreme
36 slowdowns. Fixes debian bugs #523072, #616463.
37 - fix a possible crash if the INCR transfer process for a
38 selection property timeouts and at least one chunk is
39 received. (Emanuele Giaquinta)
40 - work around a memory corruption bug in xorg's XrmSetDatabase (apparently
41 broken since http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/xorg-commit-diffs/2004-March/000239.html).
42 - fix memory corruption bug when custom command sequences bound to keys
43 were injected into an already-full pty input buffer.
44 - gdk-pixbuf is autodetected by default and preferred over libafterimage.
45 - do not prepend a newline to the selection text when the starting line
46 of the selection is not highlighted (Emanuele Giaquinta).
47 - don't swap perl env with real env, save and restore it, just in case
48 we ever get recursive perl invocations. also saves a bit of codespace
49 with gcc.
50 - fix various memory leaks (Emanuele Giaquinta).
51 - fix typo in kIC terminfo capability, debian bug #446444.
52 - document 'thickness' resource.
53 - fix debian bug #504817, to the extent possible.
54 - try to detect byte order at compile time, saves a couple of
55 hundred bytes, if your compiler is smart enough.
56 - add support for previewing the pasted data in confirm-paste
57 (Emanuele Giaquinta).
58 - added "newlines to spaces" option in selection-popup.
59 - actually enabled solaris event ports backend (was disabled by accident).
60 - revert to 38400 baud max., mission accomplished.
61 - no longer create scary "pty_fill: PLEASE REPORT" message, instead,
62 silently drain the input (problem is well understood now).
63 - no longer swallow rob nation's own graphics mode commands.
64
659.10 Mon Dec 13 17:43:52 CET 2010
66 - the "schmorp=north korea dickey=south korea" release.
67 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: make OSC 20 simpler and more correct
68 (Emanuele Giaquinta).
69 - if options were compiled out, this could lead to the option
70 count to be defined wrongly. This is likely behind the
71 failures with gcc 4.5.
72 - explicitly depend on fontconfig and xrender when xft support
73 is enabled. Although the public Xft api uses types from
74 both, in Xft 2.2.0 these libs are private
75 dependencies only thanks to an idiotic behaviour of
76 pkg-config that was added to workaround cases like this one.
77 Fixes linking when using GNU ld with --as-needed or GNU gold
78 (based on patch by Jan Palus).
79 - fix minor memory leaks in urxvt and urxvtd.
80 - fix regression in urxvtd that prevented options from being correctly
81 set (reported by Michal Vaner).
82 - implement xterm's horribly broken 1005 mouse reporting mode,
83 and an alternative 1015 mode that works in non-utf-8 locales
84 and has fewer limitations.
85 - fix a possible bug where mouse notifications didn't work after
86 startup for the upper left corner.
87 - implement our own pixbuf to pixmap rendering to get rid of
88 dependency on buggy gdk-pixbuf-xlib. Only truecolor visuals
89 are supported (Emanuele Giaquinta).
90 - apply tinting before shading when both operations are requested.
91 Previously they were intermixed when lightening and the result
92 was inaccurate and confusing. Note that now a black tint yields a
93 completely black image, regardless of shading (Emanuele Giaquinta).
94 - avoid spurious redraws of the bg image when bg is transparent or
95 when using 'root' mode (Emanuele Giaquinta).
96 - fix build on XFree86.
97 - dynamically number options according to compiletime requirements.
98 For the extra saved byte. Or so. Yay.
99 - start options at one, not zero. Wastes a bit per terminal. Maybe.
100 saves 50 instruction bytes. Possibly.
101
1029.09 Sat Nov 13 01:39:07 CET 2010
103 - NOTICE: this release updates terminfo/termcap.
104 - the bestest release ever.
105 - it was verified that urxvt handles µ and μ correctly.
106 - add support for blending and blurring with XRender (Emanuele Giaquinta).
107 - add support for using gdk-pixbuf as image backend (Emanuele Giaquinta).
108 - cleanup and minor fixes of the image code (Emanuele Giaquinta).
109 - new perl extension "confirm-paste" (Emanuele Giaquinta).
110 - new on_tt_paste perl hook and tt_paste perl binding (Emanuele Giaquinta).
111 - new on_bell perl hook (Emanuele Giaquinta).
112 - searchable-scrollback no longer ignores the first line
113 (Emanuele Giaquinta).
114 - properly set VSTATUS in termios for *BSD (reported by Ed Schouten).
115 - fix utmpx detection on upcoming FreeBSD 9.
116 - Use COMPOUND_TEXT encoding for WM_NAME/WM_ICON_NAME value when it
117 is not fully convertible to STRING (patch by James Cloos).
118 - fix a buffer overflow that would cause wrong key sequences to
119 be generated for numpad keys (introduced in 9.05).
120 - fix definition of sgr0 to work around limitations in luit.
121 - extend ISO 14755 5.4 mode to also print the font name of the
122 characters other than first one in the selected cell
123 (Emanuele Giaquinta).
124 - new iso14755 option to disable ISO 14755 at runtime
125 (Emanuele Giaquinta).
126 - make sure pagewise scrolling scrolls at least one line
127 (found by Mikachu).
128 - remove deprecated OSC 18 / 19 and make OSC 17 / 19 apply to
129 highlightColor / highlightTextColor (Emanuele Giaquinta).
130 - add highlightTextColor resource to change the foreground colour of
131 highlighted characters (Emanuele Giaquinta).
132 - make highlightColor apply also to selected cells with reverse video
133 but not to non selected cells with reverse video (Emanuele Giaquinta).
134 - remove colorRV resource (it was enabled only with frills off).
135 - fix numlock handling, the most longstanding bug to date (Emanuele Giaquinta).
136 - reduce the number of custom bits to 4, to make room
137 for 256 colours.
138 - add support for 256 colors (Emanuele Giaquinta, Marc Lehmann).
139 - add rxvt-unicode-256color terminfo and use it by default in 256 colors mode.
140 - update rxvt-unicode terminfo to state 7744 colour pairs to cover all
141 88*88 possible pairs.
142 - actually added macosx-clipboard-native, which should have been in
143 the 9.07 release but had been forgotten.
144 - fix hang if DECAWM is not set and there are not enough columns to insert a
145 character (Emanuele Giaquinta).
146 - cub1 ("backspace") will now respect wrapping when past the rightmost column,
147 working around a shortcoming of most tty line discipline's line editing.
148 - add support for grabbing the clipboard selection and extend
149 selection{_clear,_grab,} perl bindings to optionally work
150 on the clipboard selection (based on patch by Dana Jansens).
151 - no longer force CERASE to BACKSPACE - use the system default. affects
152 default value for VERASE only when no compatible setting for
153 backspacekey was given.
154 - use higher than 38400 baudrate setting, if detected.
155 - erase screen would clear to the wrong background when blinking
156 was enabled (which selects high intensity under some circumstances).
157 - scr_kill_char didn't touch the line.
158 - upgrade and port to libev-4.01.
159 - enabled solaris event ports and kqueue backends (if available).
160
1619.07 Wed Dec 30 07:07:18 CET 2009
162 - port to glibc-2.10 changes (strchr etc. returning const char *
163 in C++), based on patches by Milos Jakubicek and Oliver Mader.
164 - the binary search algorithm to find precomposed characters
165 was faulty, skipping some possible combinations (found by
166 Mikachu).
167 - new -letterspace option, patch by Mark H. Wilkinson.
168 - enable --mlock option for urxvt with frills on
169 systems supporting it (patch by Russell Harmon).
170 - urxvt did not compile without frills enabled
171 (analysed by Matthew Rosewarne).
172 - correctly reset the mbstate after an illegal
173 input sequence when handling terminal output (Emanuele Giaquinta).
174 - avoid redrawing wide characters with combining enabled on every
175 refresh (reported by Mikachu).
176 - fix a typo preventing the ISO-646.1991 character set from being
177 recognized (http://achurch.org/patch-pile/).
178 - better warning for x11 font encoding detection failures, also,
179 try to deduce encoding from both font properties and name
180 (adapted from http://achurch.org/patch-pile/).
181 - resizing the window with the scrollbar disabled via the escapes
182 sequence could make the window bigger again (Mikachu).
183 - make sure the alignment for fd passing control messages
184 is correct and work around some NetBSD issues (Taylor R Campbell).
185 - update to libptytty 1.3.
186 - replace macosx-clipboard by a nicer version by Reza Jelveh, and move
187 the old version to macosx-clipboard-native.
188 - document the -uc option (Emanuele Giaquinta).
189 - assertions in libev are now enabled depending on frills.
190 - update AnyEvent implementation to version 5.23 API.
191 - work around arrogant bsd idiocies again: netbsd spills the default
192 namespace with lots of symbols "for gnu/gcc compatibility" even
193 though neither of them does it, and then calls the rest of the world
194 in need of fixing. go figure.
195 - on_keyboard_command is on_user_command (patch by Michael Witten).
196 - setting the selection from perl will now reset the selection screen
197 to the current screen. the screen can be manipulated using
198 the new ->selection_screen method.
199 - implement --enable-assert configure option and get rid of DEBUG_STRICT
200 (based on patch by Emanuele Giaquinta).
201 - fix printpipe data output (patch by Emanuele Giaquinta).
202 - allow `xxx' quoting style for perl selection.
203 - upgrade to libev-3.9 prerelease.
204 - updated compose tables to unicode 5.2.0.
205
2069.06 Sat Nov 8 17:47:18 CET 2008
207 - NOTICE: this release updates terminfo/termcap.
208 - updates libev to 3.48.
209 - the aterm code now frees the as visual and image manager objects
210 when a window was closed.
211 - do not (wrongly) adjust the virtual line length inside
212 scr_insdel_chars/ERASE (Miroslav Lichvar).
213 - fix an issue where wide tab characters caused character shifts
214 when part of them was deleted (tracked down by Miroslav Lichvar).
215 - artificially enlargen the previous character at the end of a line
216 when trying to output a character that doesn't fit. looks ugly, but
217 makes copy&paste work.
218 - remove bogus "setuid/setgid security issues" from rxvt.1.pod, they
219 no longer apply.
220 - the urgency hint is now cleared on both focus in and focus out.
221 - cache urgency hint locally to avoid server rtt on every focus change.
222 - perl 5.10 needs PERL_SYS_INIT3 on hppa.
223 - ignore byte-order marks and do not treat them like combining characters.
224 - fix build issue when CURSOR_BLINK is not defined (Emanuele Giaquinta).
225 - do some µ-optimisations to the character fast path.
226 - use a less cunning, but more robust algorithm to avoid one terminal
227 monopolising the whole process by outputting a lot of text.
228 - try to work around linux first breaking sched_yield and now breaking
229 the only known workaround.
230 - new option -icon to set _NET_WM_ICON (based on patch by Frank Schmitt).
231 - initialise the as visual only on demand, instead of unconditionally,
232 to save memory in the common case of not using visual gimmicks.
233 - try to work around bugs in a few wm's that erroneously resize
234 client windows on hint property updates by temporarily
235 disabling size hints.
236 - implement the DECSTR soft reset sequence and use it for tput init,
237 and make hard RIS and DECSTR both reset more private modes, such
238 as mouse reporting.
239 - redundantly clear mouse reporting and a few other states in
240 tput init/tput reset, for older urxvts.
241 - partial/full clear screens did cause flickering and possibly pixel
242 droppings when urxvt viewed the scrollback buffer.
243 - use current rendition style in DCH sequence.
244 - the 132/80 mode switch no longer forces a screen reset.
245 - add an osc sequence to change the border colour (Emanuele Giaquinta).
246 - new perl extension "overlay-osc", for status displays and the like.
247 - fix some minor cursor drawing issues with overlays by allowing
248 overlays to modify screen flags (to disable the cursor themselves).
249 - work around programs not restoring rstyle before rmcup
250 (analysed by Miroslav Lichvar).
251
2529.05 Sun Jun 15 20:09:20 CEST 2008
253 - new option --cd/chdir to set the starting working directory.
254 - tabbed extension now starts in the "correct" working directory.
255 - work around fedora 9 providing isastream but not the relevant
256 header file for it (report by Tuncer Ayaz).
257 - upgrade libev, fixing a bug in the select backend.
258 with more than 31 file descriptors on non-linux 64 bit systems.
259 - correctly reset the multibyte state to the initial one
260 after EILSEQ (patch by Neil Booth). This fixes the
261 issue of rxvt-unicode not properly displaying text after an illegal
262 sequence on NetBSD and probably other systems.
263 - more intelligent property handling with -pe tabbed, works around
264 broken window managers (kwm et al.), saves bandwidth and should
265 help working window managers as well.
266 - made tabs moveable (based on a patch by Petr Machata).
267 - implement ESC [ 3 K as a more rational alternative to ESC [ 0 K.
268 - support relative paths for RXVT_SOCKET in urxvtd.
269 - the tabbed extension now blindly copies over all (rxvt-) resources
270 from the toplevel window to the children.
271 - better diagnostic on 0x0 window geometries.
272 - update AnyEvent API to version 3.4 and above.
273 - document the default value of :0 for DISPLAY.
274 - rename perl method XChangeWindowProperty to XChangeProperty.
275
2769.02 Tue Jan 29 11:58:36 CET 2008
277 - the "exg makes everybody happy" release.
278 - fix build with !xft.
279 - always compile in plain style scrollbar (simplifies code and looks great).
280
2819.01 Sat Jan 26 20:49:27 CET 2008
282 - be more aggressive about handling X events, this seems to be required
283 with newer xlibs (should fix the "screen stays black until event is
284 received" problem, again :)
285 - add buffered resource to control xft double-buffering.
286
2879.0 Fri Jan 25 19:34:04 CET 2008
288 - fix a crash bug where urxvtd would crash when urxvtc was called
289 with wrong arguments (I wish debian maintainers in general would
290 report bugs and their proposed fixes to the original package maintainers
291 instead of sitting on them for good measure to see if anybody notices).
292 - drawing xft compose characters was causing garbage to be drawn.
293 - correctly clear xft character background in all cases.
294 - implement bracketed paste mode (xterm private mode 2004).
295 - improve documentation on alpha channel handling, make urxvt
296 work better on servers lacking the RENDER extension when alpha
297 channels or background images are used.
298 - check for refresh after initialising to avoid staying blank
299 till the first event arrives. or so.
300 - the FORCE_UNBUFFERED_XFT feature macro works again.
301 - continuously update transparency while moving/resizing now.
302 - OSC 39/49 are deprecated and aliased to OSC 10/11.
303 - cub1 now acts as advertised (and ignores the "wrapped" state).
304 - the 132/80 mode switch now forces a height of 24, too, and
305 resets the terminal.
306 - scrollbar code cleanups.
307 - stopping children is no longer confused with children exiting.
308 - removed (undocumented) #aarrggbb format.
309 - updated to libev 3.0.
310
3118.9 Mon Dec 24 07:51:40 CET 2007
312 - fix the issue where urxvtd would not immediately close a window
313 when the command exited but only on the next X event.
314 - changed terminfo file not to use application keypad mode.
315 - fix the issue where making a selection in one urxvtd window
316 would not clear it visually in another.
317 - fix an issue of urxvt not getting background pixmap updates
318 and flickering after bg pixmap changes (reported by Mikachu).
319 - fix redraw bug in xterm scrollbar with -sr (reported by Mikachu).
320 - correctly provide dependencies for libev (µikachu).
321 - minor code reorganisations and cleanups.
322 - be more robust in case the urxvt-popup extension cannot be loaded.
323
3248.8 Sat Dec 15 19:40:39 CET 2007
325 - option -C was aliased to all unsupported options, activating
326 options that shouldn't be compiled in, leading to interesting
327 effects.
328 - updated libev, working around a bug in linux 2.4, curing the
329 symptom of urxvt not closing its window on shell exit. also
330 fixes a problem with urxvt not refreshing.
331 - the text blink callback was called even when no blinking
332 text was visible.
333 - pre-8.4 slipwheeling behaviour has been reinstated, with
334 some minor improvements.
335 - streamlined x events processing to only flush once per
336 display and not once per terminal window.
337 - quite a bit of minor code cleanups and codesize optimisations.
338
3398.7 Sun Nov 25 10:23:49 CET 2007
340 - update libev with an important bugfix that would cause crashes
341 when closing windows (when using rxvtd, and update is recommended).
342 - do not compile in the block builtin graphics with --disable-frills.
343
3448.6 Fri Nov 23 14:10:57 CET 2007
345 - upgrade libev to disable kqueue on anything but netbsd as it
346 seems to be broken everywhere else w.r.t. ptys.
347 - allow for spurious event notifications, as at least epoll and
348 especially solaris ports like to lie about them (symptoms:
349 urxvt "hangs" until there is some x11 related activity).
350 - -keysym command line options are now subjected to xlib parsing.
351 - add 'xrm' option analogous to Xt one.
352
3538.5a Wed Nov 21 10:16:33 CET 2007
354 - make it compile with --disable-transparency.
355
3568.5 Wed Nov 21 05:19:20 CET 2007
357 - expect major portability issues in this release: please test and report.
358 - converted from the veritable io manager event loop to
359 the high performance libev (http://software.schmorp.de/pkg/libev).
360 - minor tuning to the perl selection (include single words and more quoting chars).
361 - fix memory leak in pixmap code.
362 - fix a serious bug while setting the XIM destroy callback
363 on (typical) 64 bit systems.
364 - automove-background functionality re-implemented internally using :root op in pixmap
365 geometry string. For example: rxvt -pixmap "image.jpg;:root"
366 - do not link rxvtc against every lib on the planet anymore.
367 - parallel builds should work once more.
368
3698.4 Sat Oct 27 14:02:13 CEST 2007
370 - overhaul of the transparency/pixmap code (sasha).
371 - fix possible race between visual bell and poweron.
372 (reported by Martin von Gagern, gentoo?).
373 - urxvt -e no longer crashes the child.
374 - fixed some minor memleaks on incorrect usage or
375 missing DISPLAY.
376 - implement xterm 1002/1003 mouse tracking modes (exg).
377 - source code organisational cleanups (exg).
378 - updated io_manager.
379
3808.3 Wed Aug 1 20:21:31 CEST 2007
381 - new option: skipScroll/-ss, enabled by default.
382 - go with the times and expect x11 library files in /usr/lib, not
383 /usr/X11R6/lib.
384 - initial transparency improvement/afterimage support
385 patch by Sasha Vasko.
386 - add urgentOnBell resource to set the urgency hint
387 (patch by Philip Paeps).
388 - do not process focus events caused by grabs
389 (patch by Mikachu).
390 - add iso14755_52 resource to disable iso14755 5.2 (exg).
391 - add binding for backspace in iso14755 5.1 to remove the last
392 digit (exg).
393 - better option handling, support more than 30 options (exg).
394 - nuke reconf script, serves no purpose anymore.
395 - fixed and documented matcher/on_user_command processing in matcher
396 extension (tpope).
397 - compile out of the box on Solaris 10 (exg).
398 - fix MappingNotify events (reported by Stephan Walter).
399 - zero-initialise mwmhints, this seems to solve all sorts of minor
400 problems.
401
4028.2 Sat Feb 17 21:35:28 CET 2007
403 - fix make depend in src/, reported by exg.
404 - fixed typo in urxvt::GET_CUSTOM, causing the result to be wrong.
405 (patch by Sergey Vlasov).
406 - unbundled iom perl interface somewhat.
407 - scrollbar-xterm now uses the selected scrollColor instead of fg
408 (found by Aiviru).
409 - disabled linux kernel bug workaround again: disabling it gives
410 a 50% speed hit on affected machines, while enabling it gives
411 a similar speed hit to screen, which is likely the more common
412 case to work around for :/
413 - urxvt::rend2mask perl function, and utilization of it by matcher
414 (patch by Moshe Kamensky).
415 - use perl:matcher on a keysym to open most recently displayed URL.
416 - with matcher, when multiple patterns match, last wins, not first.
417 - fix make and make install with srcdir != builddir (exg).
418 - updated bundled libptytty to fix a bug where the tty would be kept
419 open (see the libptytty ChangeLog for details).
420 - delay setting the IUTF8 flag to after the tty settings have been
421 set so its value does not get lost (reported and analysed by Andrei
422 Paskevich).
423 - rip out support for obsolete sgtty.h interface.
424 - rip out support for non-POSIX termios variants.
425 - update libptytty.
426 - update iom.C, make it call ptytty::sanitise_stdfd on init.
427 - when !XFT, change rounding of colours to use a less correct formula to
428 meet user expectancies (#aaa becomes #a000a000a000 not #9f9f9f9f9f9f).
429 - change the starting offset of the pixmap set with backgroundPixmap
430 from (50,50) to (0,0) (exg).
431 - fix a typo in button_release, now meta-button2 request the value of
432 the Clipboard selection as it should (patch by Serge Koksharov).
433 - fix a bug in drawing a cell with a nonspacing char when using an xft
434 font with inheritPixmap and tintColor (exg).
435
4368.1 Thu Dec 7 22:27:25 CET 2006
437 - ケリスマスプレゼント - zomg!!1, it's too early!!!
438 - fix the assumption that chars < 256 are single-width. Now
439 only assume this for codepoints 32 to 126 (reported by Dai.H.).
440 - $term->strwidth returned wide chars as width 1, because some jerk
441 confused min and max. Fixing this also fixes xim-onthespot.
442 Reported by Takano Akio.
443 - secondaryScroll is now enabled by default (as per the manpage),
444 reported by exg.
445 - correct the description of [percent]color rgba format in the manpage.
446 - incorporated macosx-clipboard extension by Samuel Ljungkvist.
447 - ignore (some) useless focus events (reported by mmc).
448 - updated compose table to unicode 5.0.0.
449
4508.0 Thu Nov 2 18:35:19 CET 2006
451 - combining characters cleared the area instead of creating an overlay,
452 thus losing the ability to draw combining characters properly in most
453 circumstances (reported by exg).
454 - specified fonts were incorrectly morphed to bold/italic according to the
455 basefont, even if explicitly specified (tracked down by tpope).
456 - fixed urxvt::strwidth to calculate width in the same way as screen.C.
457 - fix a crash caused by passing negative widths to overlay functions.
458 - added 'matcher' extension by tpope, replacing the mark-urls extension.
459 - improve url regex to match anything www.* (tpope).
460 - fixed bug with outline cursor color being wrong after xft fonts.
461 - update to libptytty-1.0.
462 - give proper diagnostic when RXVT_SOCKET is too long instead of
463 corrupting the stack (patch by exg).
464 - display current terminal locale in option menu.
465 - urxvtd no longer crashes when the client sends an inaccessible
466 working directory (reported by Roland Baer, possibly fixes gentoo
467 bug #143985).
468 - fixed many minor issues reported by Roland Baer.
469 - Leonid Khramov spotted a minor glitch in rxvtfont.C that
470 should not have any consequences, but was buggy nonetheless.
471 - manpage fix by exg.
472
4737.9 Mon Aug 7 18:16:07 CEST 2006
474 - fix the crashing bug people encountered with 7.8 + urxvtd + perl
475 + transparency. Ought to fix debian bug #380348.
476 - fix urxvtc.1.pod: it actually claimed -pty-fd would not work. But
477 it does! :->
478 - rxvt_fatal() in case the locale string is too long for our static buffer.
479 - fixed many, many, typos in the manpages (patch supplied by ves).
480
4817.8 Mon Jul 17 21:00:46 CEST 2006
482 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: this version will always read ~/.Xdefaults,
483 earlier versions only read it if display-resources (usually from
484 .Xresources) are not set. This avoids the #1 FAQ ("why isn't my
485 resource used") and seems to be logical behaviour, too. .Xdefaults
486 resources have a lower priority than display-specific resources.
487 - add "kuake" perl extension that does a similar thing to the kuake
488 terminal emulator (see man urxvtperl).
489 - use less "correct" color scaling that is compatible with libX11 and
490 Xft (avoids off-by-one colors resulting in striped backgrounds).
491 - the "depth" resource is now respected.
492 - preset the searchable-scrollback pattern with "(?i)" to default search
493 to case-insensitivity. Will automatically be cleared when typing an
494 uppercase character.
495 - add FORCE_UNBUFFERED_XFT define to features.h.
496 - re-enabled highlightcolor support with --enable-frills, based on
497 a patch by Martin Stubenschrott.
498 - double-buffered xft drawing did suffer from pixel offset issues
499 when pixmap transparency was enabled.
500 - strategically add # to the url-match regexes, as we really want to
501 match common URIs not common URLs. Reported by Aaron Griffin.
502 - moved on_osc_seq to on_osc_seq_perl and added a more
503 generic osc_seq.
504 - fix a bug causing double callback invocations when perl hooks
505 were invoked recursively.
506 - the automove-background extension now properly works when the
507 pixmap gets reset with an osc sequence (sqweek).
508 - selection-pastebin did not work properly with non-latin1-characters.
509 - apply colorUL only when the text colour is the default fg
510 (patch by Wu Fengguang).
511 - removed rxvtlib.h from the tarball, it had no reason to be there
512 (spotted by Decklin Foster).
513 - fix compiling with TRANSPARENT but !XPM_BACKGROUND, as reported
514 by omatunto_.
515 - slap in a using namespace std, might help on platforms that don't
516 follow C++ closely enough.
517 - fix mailto url regex, spotted within milliseconds by Jost Krieger.
518 - applied fade_color_update_func.patch by WU Fengguang.
519 - fix a bug where (due to an optimisation in av_delete), hiding the
520 bottom-most overlay would hide two overlays.
521
5227.7 Tue Feb 21 12:32:49 CET 2006
523 - use double-buffered drawing (xft fonts only). On many driver/hardware
524 combination this actually increases xft drawing speed, at the expense
525 of more network bandwidth and slight nausea on the side of the author.
526 - readline perl extension now requires shift-click instead of a normal
527 click, and eats the click.
528 - tabbed perl extension now supports -e.
529 - disabled graphics-exposures on the main drawing GC, report any
530 refresh bugs please.
531 - improve property handling for -pe tabbed: avoid unnecessary property
532 changes (for kde's benefit) at the expense of extra round-trips,
533 improve size hint setting.
534 - modified XIM according to a patch sent by Takano Akio that sets
535 the preedit rectangle for OverTheSpot, which helps some input methods
536 to correctly position their preedit window.
537 - un-optimise the line clearing on newly scrolled-in lines a bit: the
538 former reasoning was that any fg colour on default bg looks the same
539 in empty spaces, but that's not true when reversing (e.g. selection),
540 so also check for matching fg colours. This fixes the problem where
541 selecting newly scrolled-in lines would exhibit wrong colours.
542 - fix a bug in the perl interface causing focus in events to generate
543 focus out perl events, causing bad focus effects with -pe tabbed.
544 - fix a race resulting in a crash on exiting.
545 - fix a with --disable-xft that caused xfreecolors to be called on
546 colors never allocated, resulting in aborts (reported by Paco-Paco).
547 - resources on non-initial screens weren't refetched correctly
548 (reported by Paco-Paco).
549 - fix a bug in xcopyarea pass and _disable_ it, as it seems not to be
550 working in either rxvt-unicode nor in the original rxvt.
551 - removed undocumented -exec alias for the -e option.
552
5537.6 Fri Feb 10 08:52:36 CET 2006
554 - changed interpretation of [alpha] colour prefix.
555 - +option now really sets the option to default, instead of using the
556 resource value.
557 - options that require an argument now really _require_ an argument.
558 - the tabbed extension now forwards focus and key events to the
559 relevant tab window.
560 - tab colours are now configurable and have sensible defaults
561 (initial patch by hednod).
562 - option menu is extendable, readline, selection and
563 selection-autotransform can now be disabled/enabled at runtime.
564 - forcing a configure event to tabbed subwindows with -pe tabbed, for
565 the benefit of automove-background.
566 - the automove-background extension added a wrong constant offset.
567 - force refresh of XA_RESOURCE_STRING on virtual reconnect.
568 - return exit status 2 in urxvtc when urxvtd couldn't be contacted.
569 - the linux yield hack is back, now using usleep, and enabled only on
570 __linux__.
571 - further round trip eliminations in the !XFT case by remembering
572 the colour components.
573 - plain scrollbar works better with -sr.
574 - fixed half-shadow scrollbar look.
575 - more colour rtt optimisations.
576 - properly(?) free colours on window close.
577 - reorganised the FAQ into multiple sections.
578 - add ISO646.1991-IRV to the list of supported codesets.
579 - minor libptytty update.
580
5817.5 Tue Jan 31 15:15:43 CET 2006
582 - further improvements to the careful mode detection, and font width
583 detection:
584 - fully double-wide fonts will now be correctly treated,
585 - overlap detection was improved.
586 - detect totally broken fonts (usually synthesized by xft).
587 - careful mode forced refresh sometimes clashed with blinking,
588 causing unnecessary screen redraws.
589 - better handling of XFT combining characters.
590 - enable antialiasing for some replacement fonts, as they
591 might get used for other encodings which really need it, later.
592 - remove spacing=100 from all default fonts, as this creates totally
593 weird spacing (5 times normal) with xft.
594 - removed iso10646 fallback, as xorgs iso10646 encoded fonts are mostly
595 broken.
596 - removed gnu unifont fallback, all combining characters are broken.
597 - replace named colours by xorg's rgb.txt equivalents, to
598 reduce round trip time on startup, and short-cut allocation
599 of rgb:rr/gg/bb for xft.
600 - short-cut allocation of rgb values in the xlib case
601 (patch by Paco-Paco).
602 - overhauled color management: smaller codesize, alpha support.
603 - support "rgba:rrrr/gggg/bbbb/aaaa" color specifications and
604 an "[alpha]" prefix.
605 - try to work around Xft and Xrender forcing everything to be 100%
606 transparent. Long Live Xft!
607 - do not include X11/Intrinsic.h anymore, directly use
608 Xlib/Xutil/Xresource directly.
609 - try to find a nearest matching color when color allocation fails
610 on a pseudocolor screen.
611 - SYNCCVS: compared to rxvt-cvs 2006-01-28, no relevant changes.
612 - fix version report (DA) (which was unfortunately broken).
613 - changed version number report again, now to emulate xterm closer.
614 - added the OSC sequence 702 to detect the urxvt version number.
615 - small configure updates.
616 - further RTT optimisations.
617 - backported clean-up patches for makefiles and documentation from
618 the debian package.
619 - updated doc/rxvt-unicode.spec file. It's still not maintained here,
620 but much newer than the old one.
621
