3TODO: init_secondary serves what purpose? maybe move it to earlier startup phase and re-think
4TODO: xcopyarea pass broken, fix and improve

5TODO: simplify selection_request and make it callable from perl.
6TODO: split perl documentation and urxvt.pm into separate files

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: coloured pastebin
16WISH: selection-color-pair instead of reverse video
17WISH: load system-wide config file even if we don't have one
18WISH: look into XAddConnectionWatch, does anybody need that?
13DUMB: support tex fonts 19DUMB: support tex fonts

21TODO: fix perl doc for $term->ROW_t
22
23TODO: rxvt -font 10x20 -xrm "*.tabbed.font: 10x20" -pe tabbed
24 how does one affect the tab windows themselves? seems not to work anymore.
25
26TODO: implement initial chdir for tabs by making it a resource?
27 - work around fedore 9 prividing isastream but not the relevant
28 header file for it (report by Tuncer Ayaz).
29 - upgrade to libev-3.31, fixing a bug in the select backend
30 with more than 31 file descriptors on non-linux 64 bit systems.
31 - correctly reset the multibyte state to the initial one
32 after EILSEQ (patch by Neil Booth). This fixes the
33 issue of rxvt-unicode not properly displaying text after an illegal
34 sequence on NetBSD and probably other systems.
35 - made tabs moveable (based on a patch by Petr Machata).
36 - support relative paths for RXVT_SOCKET in urxvtd.
37 - better diagnostic on 0x0 window geometries.
38
399.02 Tue Jan 29 11:58:36 CET 2008
40 - the "exg makes everybody happy" release.
41 - fix build with !xft.
42 - always compile in plain style scrollbar (simplifies code and looks great).
43
449.01 Sat Jan 26 20:49:27 CET 2008
45 - be more aggressive about handling X events, this seems to be required
46 with newer xlibs (should fix the "screen stays black until event is
47 received" problem, again :)
48 - add buffered resource to control xft double-buffering.
49
509.0 Fri Jan 25 19:34:04 CET 2008
51 - fix a crash bug where urxvtd would crash when urxvtc was called
52 with wrong arguments (I wish debian maintainers in general would
53 report bugs and their proposed fixes to the original package maintaienrs
54 instead of sitting on them for good measure to see if anybody notices).
55 - drawing xft compose characters was causing garbage to be drawn.
56 - correctly clear xft character background in all cases.
57 - implement bracketed paste mode (xterm private mode 2004).
58 - improve documentation on alpha channel handling, make urxvt
59 work better on servers lacking the RENDER extension when alpha
60 channels or background images are used.
61 - check for refresh after initialising to avoid staying blank
62 till the first event arrives. or so.
63 - the FORCE_UNBUFFERED_XFT feature macro works again.
64 - continuously update transparency while moving/resizing now.
65 - OSC 39/49 are deprecated and aliased to OSC 10/11.
66 - cub1 now acts as advertised (and ignores the "wrapped" state).
67 - the 132/80 mode switch now forces a height of 24, too, and
68 resets the terminal.
69 - scrollbar code cleanups.
70 - stopping children is no longer confused with children exiting.
71 - removed (undocumented) #aarrggbb format.
72 - updated to libev 3.0.
73
748.9 Mon Dec 24 07:51:40 CET 2007
75 - fix the issue where urxvtd would not immediately close a window
76 when the command exited but only on the next X event.
77 - changed terminfo file not to use application keypad mode.
78 - fix the issue where making a selection in one urxvtd window
79 would not clear it visually in another.
80 - fix an issue of urxvt not getting background pixmap updates
81 and flickering after bg pixmap changes (reported by Mikachu).
82 - fix redraw bug in xterm scrollbar with -sr (reported by Mikachu).
83 - correctly provide dependencies for libev (µikachu).
84 - minor code reorganisations and cleanups.
85 - be more robust in case the urxvt-popup extension cannot be loaded.
86
878.8 Sat Dec 15 19:40:39 CET 2007
88 - option -C was aliased to all unsupported options, activating
89 options that shouldn't be compiled in, leading to interesting
90 effects.
91 - updated libev, working around a bug in linux 2.4, curing the
92 symptom of urxvt not closing its window on shell exit. also
93 fixes a problem with urxvt not refreshing.
94 - the text blink callback was called even when no blinking
95 text was visible.
96 - pre-8.4 slipwheeling behaviour has been reinstated, with
97 some minor improvements.
98 - streamlined x events processing to only flush once per
99 display and not once per terminal window.
100 - quite a bit of minor code cleanups and codesize optimisations.
101
1028.7 Sun Nov 25 10:23:49 CET 2007
103 - update libev with an important bugfix that would cause crashes
104 when closing windows (when using rxvtd, and update is recommended).
105 - do not compile in the block builtin graphics with --disable-frills.
106
1078.6 Fri Nov 23 14:10:57 CET 2007
108 - upgrade libev to disable kqueue on anything but netbsd as it
109 seems to be broken everywhere else w.r.t. ptys.
110 - allow for spurious event notifications, as at least epoll and
111 especially solaris ports like to lie about them (symptoms:
112 urxvt "hangs" until there is some x11 related activity).
113 - -keysym command line options are now subjected to xlib parsing.
114 - add 'xrm' option analogous to Xt one.
115
1168.5a Wed Nov 21 10:16:33 CET 2007
117 - make it compile with --disable-transparency.
118
1198.5 Wed Nov 21 05:19:20 CET 2007
120 - expect major portability issues in this release: please test and report.
121 - converted from the veritable io manager event loop to
122 the high performance libev (http://software.schmorp.de/pkg/libev).
123 - minor tuning to the perl selection (include single words and more quoting chars).
124 - fix memory leak in pixmap code.
125 - fix a serious bug while setting the XIM destroy callback
126 on (typical) 64 bit systems.
127 - automove-background functionality re-implemented internaly using :root op in pixmap
128 geometry string. For example: rxvt -pixmap "image.jpg;:root"
129 - do not link rxvtc against every lib on the planet anymore.
130 - parallel builds should work once more.
131
1328.4 Sat Oct 27 14:02:13 CEST 2007
133 - overhaul of the transparency/pixmap code (sasha).
134 - fix possible race betwen visual bell and poweron.
135 (reported by Martin von Gagern, gentoo?).
136 - urxvt -e no longer crashes the child.
137 - fixed some minor memleaks on incorrect usage or
138 missing DISPLAY.
139 - implement xterm 1002/1003 mouse tracking modes (exg).
140 - source code organisational cleanups (exg).
141 - updated io_manager.
142
1438.3 Wed Aug 1 20:21:31 CEST 2007
144 - new option: skipScroll/-ss, enabled by default.
145 - go with the times and expect x11 library files in /usr/lib, not
146 /usr/X11R6/lib.
147 - initial transparency improvement/afterimage support
148 patch by Sasha Vasko.
149 - add urgentOnBell resource to set the urgency hint
150 (patch by Philip Paeps).
151 - do not process focus events caused by grabs
152 (patch by Mikachu).
153 - add iso14755_52 resource to disable iso14755 5.2 (exg).
154 - add binding for backspace in iso14755 5.1 to remove the last
155 digit (exg).
156 - better option handling, support more than 30 options (exg).
157 - nuke reconf script, serves no purpose anymore.
158 - fixed and documented matcher/on_user_command processing in matcher
159 extension (tpope).
160 - compile out of the box on Solaris 10 (exg).
161 - fix MappingNotify events (reported by Stephan Walter).
162 - zero-initialise mwmhints, this seems to solve all sorts of minor
163 problems.
164
1658.2 Sat Feb 17 21:35:28 CET 2007
166 - fix make depend in src/, reported by exg.
167 - fixed typo in urxvt::GET_CUSTOM, causing the result to be wrong.
168 (patch by Sergey Vlasov).
169 - unbundled iom perl interface somewhat.
170 - scrollbar-xterm now uses the selected scrollColor instead of fg
171 (found by Aiviru).
172 - disabled linux kernel bug workaround again: disabling it gives
173 a 50% speed hit on affected machines, while enabling it gives
174 a similar speed hit to screen, which is likely the more common
175 case to work around for :/
176 - urxvt::rend2mask perl function, and utilization of it by matcher
177 (patch by Moshe Kamensky).
178 - use perl:matcher on a keysym to open most recently displayed URL.
179 - with matcher, when multiple patterns match, last wins, not first.
180 - fix make and make install with srcdir != builddir (exg).
181 - updated bundled libptytty to fix a bug where the tty would be kept
182 open (see the libptytty ChangeLog for details).
183 - delay setting the IUTF8 flag to after the tty settings have been
184 set so its value does not get lost (reported and analysed by Andrei
185 Paskevich).
186 - rip out support for obsolete sgtty.h interface.
187 - rip out support for non-POSIX termios variants.
188 - update libptytty.
189 - update iom.C, make it call ptytty::sanitise_stdfd on init.
190 - when !XFT, change rounding of colours to use a less correct formula to
191 meet user expectancies (#aaa becomes #a000a000a000 not #9f9f9f9f9f9f).
192 - change the starting offset of the pixmap set with backgroundPixmap
193 from (50,50) to (0,0) (exg).
194 - fix a typo in button_release, now meta-button2 request the value of
195 the Clipboard selection as it should (patch by Serge Koksharov).
196 - fix a bug in drawing a cell with a nonspacing char when using an xft
197 font with inheritPixmap and tintColor (exg).
198
1998.1 Thu Dec 7 22:27:25 CET 2006
200 - ケリスマスプレゼント - zomg!!1, it's too early!!!
201 - fix the assumption that chars < 256 are single-width. Now
202 only assume this for codepoints 32 to 126 (reported by Dai.H.).
203 - $term->strwidth returned wide chars as width 1, because some jerk
204 confused min and max. Fixing this also fixes xim-onthespot.
205 Reported by Takano Akio.
206 - secondaryScroll is now enabled by default (as per the manpage),
207 reported by exg.
208 - correct the description of [percent]color rgba format in the manpage.
209 - incorporated macosx-clipboard extension by Samuel Ljungkvist.
210 - ignore (some) useless focus events (reported by mmc).
211 - updated compose table to unicode 5.0.0.
212
2138.0 Thu Nov 2 18:35:19 CET 2006
214 - combining characters cleared the area instead of creating an overlay,
215 thus losing the ability to draw combining characters properly in most
216 circumstances (reported by exg).
217 - specified fonts were incorrectly morphed to bold/italic according to the
218 basefont, even if explicitly specified (tracked down by tpope).
219 - fixed urxvt::strwidth to calculate width in the same way as screen.C.
220 - fix a crash caused by passing negative widths to overlay functions.
221 - added 'matcher' extension by tpope, replacing the mark-urls extension.
222 - improve url regex to match anything www.* (tpope).
223 - fixed bug with outline cursor color being wrong after xft fonts.
224 - update to libptytty-1.0.
225 - give proper diagnostic when RXVT_SOCKET is too long instead of
226 corrupting the stack (patch by exg).
227 - display current terminal locale in option menu.
228 - urxvtd no longer crashes when the client sends an inaccessible
229 working directory (reported by Roland Baer, possibly fixes gentoo
230 bug #143985).
231 - fixed many minor issues reported by Roland Baer.
232 - Leonid Khramov spotted a minor glitch in rxvtfont.C that
233 should not have any consequences, but was buggy nonetheless.
234 - manpage fix by exg.
235
2367.9 Mon Aug 7 18:16:07 CEST 2006
237 - fix the crashing bug people encountered with 7.8 + urxvtd + perl
238 + transparency. Ought to fix debian bug #380348.
239 - fix urxvtc.1.pod: it actually claimed -pty-fd would not work. But
240 it does! :->
241 - rxvt_fatal() in case the locale string is too long for our static buffer.
242 - fixed many, many, typos in the manpages (patch supplied by ves).
243
2447.8 Mon Jul 17 21:00:46 CEST 2006
245 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: this version will always read ~/.Xdefaults,
246 earlier versions only read it if display-resources (usually from
247 .Xresources) are not set. This avoids the #1 FAQ ("why isn't my
248 resource used") and seems to be logical behaviour, too. .Xdefaults
249 resources have a lower priority than display-specific resources.
250 - add "kuake" perl extension that does a similar thing to the kuake
251 terminal emulator (see man urxtvperl).
252 - use less "correct" color scaling that is compatible with libX11 and
253 Xft (avoids off-by-one colors resulting in striped backgrounds).
254 - the "depth" resource is now respected.
255 - preset the searchable-scrollback pattern with "(?i)" to default search
256 to case-insensitivity. Will automatically be cleared when typing an
257 uppercase character.
258 - add FORCE_UNBUFFERED_XFT define to features.h.
259 - re-enabled highlightcolor support with --enable-frills, based on
260 a patch by Martin Stubenschrott.
261 - double-buffered xft drawing did suffer from pixel offset issues
262 when pixmap transparency was enabled.
263 - strategically add # to the url-match regexes, as we really want to
264 match common URIs not common URLs. Reported by Aaron Griffin.
265 - moved on_osc_seq to on_osc_seq_perl and added a more
266 generic osc_seq.
267 - fix a bug causing double callback invocations when perl hooks
268 were invoked recursively.
269 - the automove-background extension now properly works when the
270 pixmap gets reset with an osc sequence (sqweek).
271 - selection-pastebin did not work properly with non-latin1-characters.
272 - apply colorUL only when the text colour is the default fg
273 (patch by Wu Fengguang).
274 - removed rxvtlib.h from the tarball, it had no reason to be there
275 (spotted by Decklin Foster).
276 - fix compiling with TRANSPARENT but !XPM_BACKGROUND, as reported
277 by omatunto_.
278 - slap in a using namespace std, might help on platforms that don't
279 follow C++ closely enough.
280 - fix mailto url regex, spotted within milliseconds by Jost Krieger.
281 - applied fade_color_update_func.patch by WU Fengguang.
282 - fix a bug where (due to an optimisation in av_delete), hiding the
283 bottom-most overlay would hide two overlays.
284
2857.7 Tue Feb 21 12:32:49 CET 2006
286 - use double-buffered drawing (xft fonts only). On many driver/hardware
287 combination this actually increases xft drawing speed, at the expense
288 of more network bandwidth and slight nausea on the side of the author.
289 - readline perl extension now requires shift-click instead of a normal
290 click, and eats the click.
291 - tabbed perl extension now supports -e.
292 - disabled graphics-exposures on the main drawing GC, report any
293 refresh bugs please.
294 - improve property handling for -pe tabbed: avoid unnecessary property
295 changes (for kde's benefit) at the expense of extra round-trips,
296 improve size hint setting.
297 - modified XIM according to a patch sent by Takano Akio that sets
298 the preedit rectangle for OverTheSpot, which helps some input methods
299 to correctly position their preedit window.
300 - un-optimise the line clearing on newly scrolled-in lines a bit: the
301 former reasoning was that any fg colour on default bg looks the same
302 in empty spaces, but thats not true when reversing (e.g. selection),
303 so also check for matching fg colours. This fixes the problem where
304 selecting newly scrolled-in lines would exhibit wrong colours.
305 - fix a bug in the perl interface causing focus in events to generate
306 focus out perl events, causing bad focus effects with -pe tabbed.
307 - fix a race resulting in a crash on exiting.
308 - fix a with --disable-xft that caused xfreecolors to be called on
309 colors never allocated, resulting in aborts (reported by Paco-Paco).
310 - resources on non-initial screens weren't refetched correctly
311 (reported by Paco-Paco).
312 - fix a bug in xcopyarea pass and _disable_ it, as it seems not to be
313 working in either rxvt-unicode nor in the original rxvt.
314 - removed undocumented -exec alias for the -e option.
315
3167.6 Fri Feb 10 08:52:36 CET 2006
317 - changed interpretation of [alpha] colour prefix.
318 - +option now really sets the option to default, instead of using the
319 resource value.
320 - options that require an argument now really _require_ an argument.
321 - the tabbed extension now forwards focus and keys events to th
322 relevant tab window.
323 - tab colours are now configurable and have sensible defaults
324 (initial patch by hednod).
325 - option menu is extendable, readline, selection and
326 selection-autotransform can now be disabled/enabled at runtime.
327 - forcing a configure event to tabbed subwindows with -pe tabbed, for
328 the benefit of automove-background.
329 - the automove-background extension added a wrong constant offset.
330 - force refresh of XA_RESOURCE_STRING on virtual reconnect.
331 - return exit status 2 in urxvtc when urxvtd couldn't be contacted.
332 - the linux yield hack is back, now using usleep, and enabled only on
333 __linux__.
334 - further round trip eliminations in the !XFT case by remembering
335 the colour components.
336 - plain scrollbar works better with -sr.
337 - fixed half-shadow scrollbar look.
338 - more colour rtt optimisations.
339 - properly(?) free colours on window close.
340 - reorganised the FAQ into multiple sections.
341 - add ISO646.1991-IRV to the list of supported codesets.
342 - minor libptytty update.
343
3447.5 Tue Jan 31 15:15:43 CET 2006
345 - further improvements to the careful mode detection, and font width
346 detection:
347 - fully double-wide fonts will now be correctly treated,
348 - overlap detection was improved.
349 - detect totally broken fonts (usually synthesized by xft).
350 - careful mode forced refresh sometimes clashed with blinking,
351 causing unnecessary screen redraws.
352 - better handling of XFT combining characters.
353 - enable antialiasing for some replacement fonts, as they
354 might get used for other encodings which really need it, later.
355 - remove spacing=100 from all default fonts, as this creates totally
356 weird spacing (5 times normal) with xft.
357 - removed iso10646 fallback, as xorgs iso10646 encoded fonts are mostly
358 broken.
359 - removed gnu unifont fallback, all combining characters are broken.
360 - replace named colours by xorg's rgb.txt equivalents, to
361 reduce round trip time on startup, and short-cut allocation
362 of rgb:rr/gg/bb for xft.
363 - short-cut allocation of rgb values in the xlib case
364 (patch by Paco-Paco).
365 - overhauled color management: smaller codesize, alpha support.
366 - support "rgba:rrrr/gggg/bbbb/aaaa" color specifications and
367 an "[alpha]" prefix.
368 - try to work around Xft and Xrender forcing everything to be 100%
369 transparent. Long Live Xft!
370 - do not include X11/Intrinsic.h anymore, directly use
371 Xlib/Xutil/Xresource directly.
372 - try to find a nearest matching color when color allocation fails
373 on a pseudocolor screen.
15 - SYNCCVS: compared to rxvt-cvs 2006-01-28, no relevant changes. 374 - SYNCCVS: compared to rxvt-cvs 2006-01-28, no relevant changes.
16 - fix version report (DA) (which was unfortunately broken). 375 - fix version report (DA) (which was unfortunately broken).
17 - changed version number report again, now to emulate xterm closer. 376 - changed version number report again, now to emulate xterm closer.
18 - added the OSC sequence 702 to detect the urxvt version number. 377 - added the OSC sequence 702 to detect the urxvt version number.
19 - small configure updates. 378 - small configure updates.
20 - overhauled color management: smaller codesize, alpha support. 379 - further RTT optimisations.
21 - support rgba:r/g/b/a, #argb, #aarrggbb and #aaaarrrrggggbbbb 380 - backported clean-up patches for makefiles and documentation from
22 colour "names", and try to work around xft forcing everything 381 the debian package.
23 to be 100% transparent. Long Live Xft! 382 - updated doc/rxvt-unicode.spec file. It's still not maintained here,
24 - do not include X11/Intrinsic.h anymore, directly use 383 but much newer than the old one.
25 Xlib/Xutil/Xresource directly.
