10TODO: slow drag selection on remote display - other things seem fast (rxvt illness, motion hints?)
11TODO: investigate -pe tabbed -g 80x25 being 23 not 24 or 25 lines
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
10WISH: look into XAddConnectionWatch, does anybody need that? 17WISH: look into XAddConnectionWatch, does anybody need that?

21TODO: coloured pastebin
22TODO: maybe unlink the RXVT_SOCKET on exit?
23
24TODO: rxvt -font 10x20 -xrm "*.tabbed.font: 10x20" -pe tabbed
25 how does one affect the tab windows themselves? seems not to work anymore.
26
27 - made tabs moveable (based on a patch by Petr Machata).
28 - support relative paths for RXVT_SOCKET in urxvtd.
29 - better diagnostic on 0x0 window geometries.
30
319.02 Tue Jan 29 11:58:36 CET 2008
32 - the "exg makes everybody happy" release.
33 - fix build with !xft.
34 - always compile in plain style scrollbar (simplifies code and looks great).
35
369.01 Sat Jan 26 20:49:27 CET 2008
37 - be more aggressive about handling X events, this seems to be required
38 with newer xlibs (should fix the "screen stays black until event is
39 received" problem, again :)
40 - add buffered resource to control xft double-buffering.
41
429.0 Fri Jan 25 19:34:04 CET 2008
43 - fix a crash bug where urxvtd would crash when urxvtc was called
44 with wrong arguments (I wish debian maintainers in general would
45 report bugs and their proposed fixes to the original package maintaienrs
46 instead of sitting on them for good measure to see if anybody notices).
47 - drawing xft compose characters was causing garbage to be drawn.
48 - correctly clear xft character background in all cases.
49 - implement bracketed paste mode (xterm private mode 2004).
50 - improve documentation on alpha channel handling, make urxvt
51 work better on servers lacking the RENDER extension when alpha
52 channels or background images are used.
53 - check for refresh after initialising to avoid staying blank
54 till the first event arrives. or so.
55 - the FORCE_UNBUFFERED_XFT feature macro works again.
56 - continuously update transparency while moving/resizing now.
57 - OSC 39/49 are deprecated and aliased to OSC 10/11.
58 - cub1 now acts as advertised (and ignores the "wrapped" state).
59 - the 132/80 mode switch now forces a height of 24, too, and
60 resets the terminal.
61 - scrollbar code cleanups.
62 - stopping children is no longer confused with children exiting.
63 - removed (undocumented) #aarrggbb format.
64 - updated to libev 3.0.
65
668.9 Mon Dec 24 07:51:40 CET 2007
67 - fix the issue where urxvtd would not immediately close a window
68 when the command exited but only on the next X event.
69 - changed terminfo file not to use application keypad mode.
70 - fix the issue where making a selection in one urxvtd window
71 would not clear it visually in another.
72 - fix an issue of urxvt not getting background pixmap updates
73 and flickering after bg pixmap changes (reported by Mikachu).
74 - fix redraw bug in xterm scrollbar with -sr (reported by Mikachu).
75 - correctly provide dependencies for libev (µikachu).
76 - minor code reorganisations and cleanups.
77 - be more robust in case the urxvt-popup extension cannot be loaded.
78
798.8 Sat Dec 15 19:40:39 CET 2007
80 - option -C was aliased to all unsupported options, activating
81 options that shouldn't be compiled in, leading to interesting
82 effects.
83 - updated libev, working around a bug in linux 2.4, curing the
84 symptom of urxvt not closing its window on shell exit. also
85 fixes a problem with urxvt not refreshing.
86 - the text blink callback was called even when no blinking
87 text was visible.
88 - pre-8.4 slipwheeling behaviour has been reinstated, with
89 some minor improvements.
90 - streamlined x events processing to only flush once per
91 display and not once per terminal window.
92 - quite a bit of minor code cleanups and codesize optimisations.
93
948.7 Sun Nov 25 10:23:49 CET 2007
95 - update libev with an important bugfix that would cause crashes
96 when closing windows (when using rxvtd, and update is recommended).
97 - do not compile in the block builtin graphics with --disable-frills.
98
998.6 Fri Nov 23 14:10:57 CET 2007
100 - upgrade libev to disable kqueue on anything but netbsd as it
101 seems to be broken everywhere else w.r.t. ptys.
102 - allow for spurious event notifications, as at least epoll and
103 especially solaris ports like to lie about them (symptoms:
104 urxvt "hangs" until there is some x11 related activity).
105 - -keysym command line options are now subjected to xlib parsing.
106 - add 'xrm' option analogous to Xt one.
107
1088.5a Wed Nov 21 10:16:33 CET 2007
109 - make it compile with --disable-transparency.
110
1118.5 Wed Nov 21 05:19:20 CET 2007
112 - expect major portability issues in this release: please test and report.
113 - converted from the veritable io manager event loop to
114 the high performance libev (http://software.schmorp.de/pkg/libev).
115 - minor tuning to the perl selection (include single words and more quoting chars).
116 - fix memory leak in pixmap code.
117 - fix a serious bug while setting the XIM destroy callback
118 on (typical) 64 bit systems.
119 - automove-background functionality re-implemented internaly using :root op in pixmap
120 geometry string. For example: rxvt -pixmap "image.jpg;:root"
121 - do not link rxvtc against every lib on the planet anymore.
122 - parallel builds should work once more.
123
1248.4 Sat Oct 27 14:02:13 CEST 2007
125 - overhaul of the transparency/pixmap code (sasha).
126 - fix possible race betwen visual bell and poweron.
127 (reported by Martin von Gagern, gentoo?).
128 - urxvt -e no longer crashes the child.
129 - fixed some minor memleaks on incorrect usage or
130 missing DISPLAY.
131 - implement xterm 1002/1003 mouse tracking modes (exg).
132 - source code organisational cleanups (exg).
133 - updated io_manager.
134
1358.3 Wed Aug 1 20:21:31 CEST 2007
136 - new option: skipScroll/-ss, enabled by default.
137 - go with the times and expect x11 library files in /usr/lib, not
138 /usr/X11R6/lib.
139 - initial transparency improvement/afterimage support
140 patch by Sasha Vasko.
141 - add urgentOnBell resource to set the urgency hint
142 (patch by Philip Paeps).
143 - do not process focus events caused by grabs
144 (patch by Mikachu).
145 - add iso14755_52 resource to disable iso14755 5.2 (exg).
146 - add binding for backspace in iso14755 5.1 to remove the last
147 digit (exg).
148 - better option handling, support more than 30 options (exg).
149 - nuke reconf script, serves no purpose anymore.
150 - fixed and documented matcher/on_user_command processing in matcher
151 extension (tpope).
152 - compile out of the box on Solaris 10 (exg).
153 - fix MappingNotify events (reported by Stephan Walter).
154 - zero-initialise mwmhints, this seems to solve all sorts of minor
155 problems.
156
1578.2 Sat Feb 17 21:35:28 CET 2007
158 - fix make depend in src/, reported by exg.
159 - fixed typo in urxvt::GET_CUSTOM, causing the result to be wrong.
160 (patch by Sergey Vlasov).
161 - unbundled iom perl interface somewhat.
162 - scrollbar-xterm now uses the selected scrollColor instead of fg
163 (found by Aiviru).
164 - disabled linux kernel bug workaround again: disabling it gives
165 a 50% speed hit on affected machines, while enabling it gives
166 a similar speed hit to screen, which is likely the more common
167 case to work around for :/
168 - urxvt::rend2mask perl function, and utilization of it by matcher
169 (patch by Moshe Kamensky).
170 - use perl:matcher on a keysym to open most recently displayed URL.
171 - with matcher, when multiple patterns match, last wins, not first.
172 - fix make and make install with srcdir != builddir (exg).
173 - updated bundled libptytty to fix a bug where the tty would be kept
174 open (see the libptytty ChangeLog for details).
175 - delay setting the IUTF8 flag to after the tty settings have been
176 set so its value does not get lost (reported and analysed by Andrei
177 Paskevich).
178 - rip out support for obsolete sgtty.h interface.
179 - rip out support for non-POSIX termios variants.
180 - update libptytty.
181 - update iom.C, make it call ptytty::sanitise_stdfd on init.
182 - when !XFT, change rounding of colours to use a less correct formula to
183 meet user expectancies (#aaa becomes #a000a000a000 not #9f9f9f9f9f9f).
184 - change the starting offset of the pixmap set with backgroundPixmap
185 from (50,50) to (0,0) (exg).
186 - fix a typo in button_release, now meta-button2 request the value of
187 the Clipboard selection as it should (patch by Serge Koksharov).
188 - fix a bug in drawing a cell with a nonspacing char when using an xft
189 font with inheritPixmap and tintColor (exg).
190
1918.1 Thu Dec 7 22:27:25 CET 2006
192 - ケリスマスプレゼント - zomg!!1, it's too early!!!
193 - fix the assumption that chars < 256 are single-width. Now
194 only assume this for codepoints 32 to 126 (reported by Dai.H.).
195 - $term->strwidth returned wide chars as width 1, because some jerk
196 confused min and max. Fixing this also fixes xim-onthespot.
197 Reported by Takano Akio.
198 - secondaryScroll is now enabled by default (as per the manpage),
199 reported by exg.
200 - correct the description of [percent]color rgba format in the manpage.
201 - incorporated macosx-clipboard extension by Samuel Ljungkvist.
202 - ignore (some) useless focus events (reported by mmc).
203 - updated compose table to unicode 5.0.0.
204
2058.0 Thu Nov 2 18:35:19 CET 2006
206 - combining characters cleared the area instead of creating an overlay,
207 thus losing the ability to draw combining characters properly in most
208 circumstances (reported by exg).
209 - specified fonts were incorrectly morphed to bold/italic according to the
210 basefont, even if explicitly specified (tracked down by tpope).
211 - fixed urxvt::strwidth to calculate width in the same way as screen.C.
212 - fix a crash caused by passing negative widths to overlay functions.
213 - added 'matcher' extension by tpope, replacing the mark-urls extension.
214 - improve url regex to match anything www.* (tpope).
215 - fixed bug with outline cursor color being wrong after xft fonts.
216 - update to libptytty-1.0.
217 - give proper diagnostic when RXVT_SOCKET is too long instead of
218 corrupting the stack (patch by exg).
219 - display current terminal locale in option menu.
220 - urxvtd no longer crashes when the client sends an inaccessible
221 working directory (reported by Roland Baer, possibly fixes gentoo
222 bug #143985).
223 - fixed many minor issues reported by Roland Baer.
224 - Leonid Khramov spotted a minor glitch in rxvtfont.C that
225 should not have any consequences, but was buggy nonetheless.
226 - manpage fix by exg.
227
2287.9 Mon Aug 7 18:16:07 CEST 2006
229 - fix the crashing bug people encountered with 7.8 + urxvtd + perl
230 + transparency. Ought to fix debian bug #380348.
231 - fix urxvtc.1.pod: it actually claimed -pty-fd would not work. But
232 it does! :->
233 - rxvt_fatal() in case the locale string is too long for our static buffer.
234 - fixed many, many, typos in the manpages (patch supplied by ves).
235
2367.8 Mon Jul 17 21:00:46 CEST 2006
237 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: this version will always read ~/.Xdefaults,
238 earlier versions only read it if display-resources (usually from
239 .Xresources) are not set. This avoids the #1 FAQ ("why isn't my
240 resource used") and seems to be logical behaviour, too. .Xdefaults
241 resources have a lower priority than display-specific resources.
242 - add "kuake" perl extension that does a similar thing to the kuake
243 terminal emulator (see man urxtvperl).
244 - use less "correct" color scaling that is compatible with libX11 and
245 Xft (avoids off-by-one colors resulting in striped backgrounds).
246 - the "depth" resource is now respected.
247 - preset the searchable-scrollback pattern with "(?i)" to default search
248 to case-insensitivity. Will automatically be cleared when typing an
249 uppercase character.
250 - add FORCE_UNBUFFERED_XFT define to features.h.
251 - re-enabled highlightcolor support with --enable-frills, based on
252 a patch by Martin Stubenschrott.
253 - double-buffered xft drawing did suffer from pixel offset issues
254 when pixmap transparency was enabled.
255 - strategically add # to the url-match regexes, as we really want to
256 match common URIs not common URLs. Reported by Aaron Griffin.
257 - moved on_osc_seq to on_osc_seq_perl and added a more
258 generic osc_seq.
259 - fix a bug causing double callback invocations when perl hooks
260 were invoked recursively.
261 - the automove-background extension now properly works when the
262 pixmap gets reset with an osc sequence (sqweek).
263 - selection-pastebin did not work properly with non-latin1-characters.
264 - apply colorUL only when the text colour is the default fg
265 (patch by Wu Fengguang).
266 - removed rxvtlib.h from the tarball, it had no reason to be there
267 (spotted by Decklin Foster).
268 - fix compiling with TRANSPARENT but !XPM_BACKGROUND, as reported
269 by omatunto_.
270 - slap in a using namespace std, might help on platforms that don't
271 follow C++ closely enough.
272 - fix mailto url regex, spotted within milliseconds by Jost Krieger.
273 - applied fade_color_update_func.patch by WU Fengguang.
274 - fix a bug where (due to an optimisation in av_delete), hiding the
275 bottom-most overlay would hide two overlays.
276
2777.7 Tue Feb 21 12:32:49 CET 2006
278 - use double-buffered drawing (xft fonts only). On many driver/hardware
279 combination this actually increases xft drawing speed, at the expense
280 of more network bandwidth and slight nausea on the side of the author.
281 - readline perl extension now requires shift-click instead of a normal
282 click, and eats the click.
283 - tabbed perl extension now supports -e.
284 - disabled graphics-exposures on the main drawing GC, report any
285 refresh bugs please.
286 - improve property handling for -pe tabbed: avoid unnecessary property
287 changes (for kde's benefit) at the expense of extra round-trips,
288 improve size hint setting.
289 - modified XIM according to a patch sent by Takano Akio that sets
290 the preedit rectangle for OverTheSpot, which helps some input methods
291 to correctly position their preedit window.
292 - un-optimise the line clearing on newly scrolled-in lines a bit: the
293 former reasoning was that any fg colour on default bg looks the same
294 in empty spaces, but thats not true when reversing (e.g. selection),
295 so also check for matching fg colours. This fixes the problem where
296 selecting newly scrolled-in lines would exhibit wrong colours.
297 - fix a bug in the perl interface causing focus in events to generate
298 focus out perl events, causing bad focus effects with -pe tabbed.
299 - fix a race resulting in a crash on exiting.
300 - fix a with --disable-xft that caused xfreecolors to be called on
301 colors never allocated, resulting in aborts (reported by Paco-Paco).
302 - resources on non-initial screens weren't refetched correctly
303 (reported by Paco-Paco).
304 - fix a bug in xcopyarea pass and _disable_ it, as it seems not to be
305 working in either rxvt-unicode nor in the original rxvt.
306 - removed undocumented -exec alias for the -e option.
307
3087.6 Fri Feb 10 08:52:36 CET 2006
309 - changed interpretation of [alpha] colour prefix.
310 - +option now really sets the option to default, instead of using the
311 resource value.
312 - options that require an argument now really _require_ an argument.
313 - the tabbed extension now forwards focus and keys events to th
314 relevant tab window.
315 - tab colours are now configurable and have sensible defaults
316 (initial patch by hednod).
317 - option menu is extendable, readline, selection and
318 selection-autotransform can now be disabled/enabled at runtime.
319 - forcing a configure event to tabbed subwindows with -pe tabbed, for
320 the benefit of automove-background.
321 - the automove-background extension added a wrong constant offset.
322 - force refresh of XA_RESOURCE_STRING on virtual reconnect.
323 - return exit status 2 in urxvtc when urxvtd couldn't be contacted.
324 - the linux yield hack is back, now using usleep, and enabled only on
325 __linux__.
326 - further round trip eliminations in the !XFT case by remembering
327 the colour components.
328 - plain scrollbar works better with -sr.
329 - fixed half-shadow scrollbar look.
330 - more colour rtt optimisations.
331 - properly(?) free colours on window close.
332 - reorganised the FAQ into multiple sections.
333 - add ISO646.1991-IRV to the list of supported codesets.
334 - minor libptytty update.
335
