10TODO: better resource handling for tabbar in -pe tabbed.
11WISH: 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.

41 - fix longstanding core font encoding bug where some character
42 ranges could not be mapped from unicode to the font: affected
43 encodings are big5, gb2312, iso8859-8 (hebrew), jis0201 and
44 ksc5601 (reported by Mikachu).
45 - do not start blinking cursor if the window is unfocused (reported by
46 Devin J. Pohly).
47 - change the width of underline and i-beam cursor to 2 pixels (based on
48 a patch by Omar Sandoval).
49 - a keysym resource for a key which is already bound to an
50 action now properly rebinds the key.
51 - the key_press hook is now invoked before processing the
52 event, as documented. This change was done in 9.21 but not
53 announced and fixes debian bugs #511377, #531751 and red hat
54 bug #1105069. Note that this change breaks a few scripts,
55 such as mark-yank-urls, which rely on the previous buggy
56 behaviour that urxvt processes the event (in particular
57 keysym bindings) before invoking the hook.
58 - the tabbed extension now properly refreshes the active tab
59 on a key press when the mouse pointer is outside the terminal
60 window.
61 - add 'lookup_keysym' perl method to lookup the action bound
62 to a key combination.
63 - a key combination bound to 'matcher:select' can now be used
64 to cycle through the matches in matcher.
65
669.21 Wed Dec 31 14:50:03 CET 2014
67 - the "moa redraw 8-bit british vintage colour management" release.
68 - NOTICE: this release updates terminfo.
69 - fix pixel droppings on overdraw when a secondary core font has the
70 same height but different ascent.
71 - implement cvvis in terminfo as blinking cursor, to distinguish it
72 from cnorm (emacs uses cvvis which is commonly a blinking cursor).
73 - when xft support was compiled in, colour queries erroneously returned
74 premultiplied values, this also affected internal queries, for example
75 when calculating faded colour. alpha is now divided out when possible,
76 which is more correct but loses colour resolution.
77 - add DECSCUSR xterm extension to set the cursor to a vertical bar.
78 - add 'extension:string' action, and associated on_action perl
79 hook, for keysym resources that invokes actions provided by
80 perl extensions. The 'perl:string' action and
81 on_user_command hook are deprecated but still supported.
82 - add 'builtin-string' action for keysym resources that restores string
83 mappings for keys that have predefined actions in urxvt.
84 - add -k option to urxvtc for killing the daemon process.
85 - document urxvtd's -e/--eval option that was implemented in 9.16,
86 but not documented.
87 - add -dockapp option to make the wm treat urxvt as a dockapp.
88 - add -mc option and multiClickTime resource to set the maximum time
89 between multi-click select events (patch by Joe Peterson).
90 - new 'eval' extension to evaluate arbitrary perl code with keysym
91 bindings. The extension also provides methods that implement basic
92 actions, such as pasting selections and scrolling.
93 - the macosx-clipboard and macosx-clipboard-native extensions have been removed.
94 - kuake extension now uses the kuake.hotkey resource to specify the hotkey.
95 - new 'matcher:select' mode of matcher to iterate over the matches with the keyboard.
96 - the 'matcher:list' feature of matcher now honours the launcher
97 associated to a matched pattern.
98 - speed-up matcher underlining on very long lines (reported by Edward Z. Yang).
99 - fix up/down commands of searchable-scrollback so that they always move
100 to the previous/next logical line with a match, if any.
101 - searchable-scrollback resource has been deprecated (use keysym instead).
102 - extension parameter passing is deprecated (use resource mechanism instead).
103 - upgrade to GPLv3 (see COPYING).
104 - compile out of the box on Solaris 10, again.
105 - fix height and position of the stippled area in next scrollbar (patch
106 by Thomas Otto).
107 - fix off-by-one bug causing the iso14755 window not to jump out of the
108 way properly.
109 - fix crash that may happen if a lib to which urxvt is linked to calls setenv.
110 - fix memory leak in special_{encode,decode} perl methods.
111 - fix refresh bug that occurs when reverse video is set on a cell
112 containing a space and with the same bg and fg colour, red hat bug
113 #830236.
114 - fix crash that may happen if an x error is received after a terminal
115 window/popup has been destroyed already.
116 - removed superfluous 0 digit from sgr terminfo sequence.
117 - greatly improve colour allocation on colour-starved pseudocolour
118 displays to avoid read-write cells instead of simply failing
119 (this is only relevant for antique 8bpp frame buffers).
120 - do not free fade colours when not doing fading (this is likely
121 only relevant for antique 8bpp frame buffers).
122 - do not specialcase 2 or 4 colour visuals, leading to
123 simpler and actually more correct code.
124 - hopefully no longer leak colours on !truecolour visuals.
125 - use consistent method names (scr_recolour => scr_recolor).
126 - use simpler (but slightly less bogus) formula for nearest
127 colour choice (this is likely only relevant for antique 8bpp
128 frame buffers).
129 - remove fallback behaviour when initialising colours - the
130 behaviour was inconsistent between startup vs. later and
131 was only effective when valid colours couldn't be allocated.
132
1339.20 Sat Apr 26 16:22:27 CEST 2014
134 - (libptytty) fix bug that prevented urxvtd from writing utmp
135 entries when using --fork (reported by Ryan Kavanagh).
136 - security bugfix: window property values could be queried even
137 in secure mode (reported by Conor McCarthy).
138 - fix build when perl is enabled and fading is disabled.
139 - fix regression that broke continuous scrolling when pressing
140 and holding the scrollbar up or down button, gentoo bug #493992.
141 - increase the maximum length of a command sequence to 32k bytes,
142 to allow longer OSC sequences (previous limit was 2k).
143 - new Ctrl-Meta-c and Ctrl-Meta-v bindings to interact with
144 the CLIPBOARD selection.
145 - new extension: selection-to-clipboard.
146 - the extensions macosx-clipboard and macosx-clipboard-native
147 are deprecated and will be removed in the next release.
148 Support for the clipboard on OS X can be more generally
149 enabled by setting the XQuartz preference to sync the OS X
150 pasteboard and the X11 clipboard.
151
1529.19 Sun Oct 27 17:16:07 CET 2013
153 - work around perl 5.18.0 breakage in tabbed extension
154 (reported by Karol Blazewicz) and in pod (Dominic Hargreaves).
155 - fix regression that caused the double-click word selection to
156 erroneously include a tab on the left of the selected word.
157 - implement FOCUS variable and focus_fade function in background
158 expression, to allow focus-sensitive background images.
159 - add support for the set cursor style (DECSCUSR) control
160 function.
161 - honour cursorColor also when the cursor style is underline.
162 - export some Color_xxx constants to Perl.
163
1649.18 Sun Mar 24 15:33:35 CET 2013
165 - fix regression that caused artifacts on resize.
166
1679.17 Fri Mar 1 13:46:08 CET 2013
168 - add shade operator in background perl extension.
169 - avoid starting or ending the selection in the middle of wide
170 characters to avoid artifacts (reported by Tiago Resende).
171 - fix artifacts that may occur if the character in the cursor
172 cell has width > 1 (reported by Tiago Resende).
173 - fix regression that causes artifacts on scrolling if
174 saveLines is 0 and the window is resized (reported by Bert
175 Münnich).
176 - fix build when perl is enabled and pixbuf and transparency
177 are disabled.
178
1799.16 Thu Dec 27 11:56:43 CET 2012
180 - the "so much new stuff your eyes will pop out" release.
181 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: renamed urlLauncher resource to url-launcher.
182 - fix processing of DEC private mode save sequences (patch by Patrick
183 Hemmer).
184 - perl extensions now have their own manpages, installed as urxvt-NAME(1),
185 e.g. urxvt-background(1) - see urxvt-extensions(1) for a list.
186 - fix disabling of cursor blink with the option-popup menu (based on a
187 patch by Jan Larres).
188 - the font height is not augmented anymore when lineSpace is non zero.
189 - fix "new pagemap" vs. "delete pagemap" mismatch ([] vs. non-[]),
190 as diagnosed by clang.
191 - fix height mismatch between active and inactive cursor when
192 lineSpace is non zero (patch by Stanislav Seletskiy).
193 - make it compile with LOCAL_X_IS_UNIX again (reported by
194 nickfailure@gmail.com).
195 - completely redone background pixmap support - users can now
196 specify arbitrary expressions (And programs) that calculate
197 new terminal backgrounds. see the urxvt-background manpage
198 for details.
199 - xrender is now required for background pixmap support.
200 - perl extensions can now provide commandline switches and resources
201 which show up in -help etc.
202 - iso14755 51 mode window now displays row and column.
203 - implement a -visual switch and move that and -depth to frills, also
204 warn when we can't get the requested visual.
205 - new env variable: RXVT_PERL_LIB.
206 - allocate all screen memory in one go and let the virtual memory
207 subsystem sort it out. this simplifies code, improves access
208 locality, saves a bit of ram and makes things a bit faster, too.
209 - remove support for libafterimage.
210 - update to CVS version of libev, for a whopping 11kb size decrease.
211 - do not ship yet another copy of ecb.h, use the one in libev or
212 libptytty instead.
213 - selectively mark some methods as cache-hot/cache cold, which
214 might speed up execution but definitely decreases codesize.
215 - Fix regression that prevented the scrollbar trough color
216 from being applied (reported by Derek B. Noonburg).
217 - Fix the scrollbar size for rxvt style (patch by Mark Robinson).
218
2199.15 Sat Jan 21 13:36:56 CET 2012
220 - remove "using namespace std" because clang erroneously
221 thinks thats an error.
222 - finding a matching font (e.g. bold version of the base font)
223 was broken (reported by Eamon Walker).
224 - fix parsing of bg image styles. They really work now.
225 - fix blurring of bg image borders when using xrender.
226 - fix xrender blur on common xrender implementations that do
227 not behave correctly when the same pixmap is used as source
228 and destination in composite operations.
229 - fix regression that caused tabbed to compute the wrong size
230 for tabs.
231 - allow again an empty suffix in a keysym list spec (patch by
232 Sung Pae).
233 - unsupported support for sun studio's CC added.
234 - fix -C option on solaris.
235
2369.14 Wed Dec 21 18:40:33 CET 2011
237 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: the urxvtd default socket path is now
238 $HOME/.urxvt/urxvtd-<nodename>.
239 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: the "list" keysym expansion now requires
240 loading of the "keysym-list" perl extension.
241 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: A scale value of 0 in the bg image
242 geometry no longer enables tiling, so as to make it possible
243 to disable both scaling and tiling.
244 - overhaul of the bg image operations. The old operations have
245 been deprecated in favour of elementary operations and
246 styles built on top of the new operations and scale/position
247 settings. (Emanuele Giaquinta).
248 - support for libafterimage is deprecated and will be removed
249 in the next release.
250 - fix a crash caused by selection_check not properly resetting
251 out-of-bounds mark values (can happen when extending a selection
252 while scrolling up in curses programs for example).
253 - do not move the selection when scrolling up and the selection is
254 outside the scrolling region (Emanuele Giaquinta).
255 - fix display of bold bright black (reported by Ben Winslow).
256 - fix memory leak when urgentOnBell is set (patch by Nathaniel
257 Filardo).
258 - fix a redraw bug that occurs when a bg pixmap is set and the
259 wm does not honour the size hints set by urxvt. Now urxvt
260 forces the size of the terminal window to be a multiple of
261 the cell size.
262 - sanitise the argument of SD / SU sequences. Fixes a possible
263 crash when the argument is big enough, red hat bug #711137
264 (Emanuele Giaquinta).
265 - correctly split long lines when scrolling.
266 - urxvt now looks for perl extensions also in $HOME/.urxvt/ext.
267 - add bell-command perl extension to execute a command when a
268 bell event occurs (Ryan Kavanagh).
269 - add set_urgency perl binding to set/reset the urgency hint.
270 - consume button release event in matcher (exg).
271 - keyboard accessible list of recent matches in matcher
272 (Bob Farrell).
273 - properly process 'keysym' sequences in tabbed when using
274 'focus follows mouse' and the focus is on the main window
275 but not on the active terminal window (patch by Martin
276 Pohlack).
277 - support for the freedesktop startup-notification protocol (patch by
278 Michael Stapelberg).
279 - the direction of VPR and VPB commands was reversed.
280 - fix alignment of inherited root pixmap when it is a different size
281 than the root window and the terminal window is off the left or top
282 edge (Mikachu).
283 - make $self visible in "eval perl expression" popup action, also
284 handle exceptions better.
285 - fix parsing of '-e' when it occurs as an option argument, such as in
286 'urxvt -title -e' (Emanuele Giaquinta).
287
2889.12 Wed Jun 29 14:34:28 CEST 2011
289 - fix regression in processing of SelectionNotify events.
290 urxvt would fail to request a selection if the owner did not
291 support the UTF8_STRING target.
292 - fix rendering of double width chars in certain circumstances, more
293 likely to happen if urxvt is compiled with 256 colors support as
294 urxvt runs out of fonts much earlier then. Fixes gentoo bug #358151
295 (Emanuele Giaquinta).
296 - restore support for 'list' syntax in keysym resources (requested by Sung Pae).
297 - always premultiply colour values - while this increases differences between
298 core fonts and xft, it is "more correct" in practical situations.
299 - disable PTYTTY_REENTRANT option - not needed for urxvt and saves a bit of code.
300 - remove lucidatypewriter from the list of fallback fonts, it was the only
301 non-xft non-cellfont in the list anyway.
302
3039.11 Mon May 2 10:34:46 CEST 2011
304 - fix compilation on GNU/Hurd, debian bug #624736.
305 - remove 'list' syntax for keysym resources, as it serves no useful purpose.
306 If you need it, poke us and provide a use case.
307 - fix alpha channel support. Premultiply alpha in colours if the visual
308 supports an alpha channel, as xrender expects premultiplied alpha
309 (Emanuele Giaquinta).
310 - fix reply to a selection request sent by an obsolete client
311 such as syncterm (patch by Marcin Cieslak).
312 - fix crash when the window is resized and the overlay is active
313 (Emanuele Giaquinta, reported by Ryan Kavanagh).
314 - match character-wise rather than byte-wise in selection
315 extension again. perl 5.8.9+ is required to avoid extreme
316 slowdowns. Fixes debian bugs #523072, #616463.
317 - fix a possible crash if the INCR transfer process for a
318 selection property timeouts and at least one chunk is
319 received. (Emanuele Giaquinta)
320 - work around a memory corruption bug in xorg's XrmSetDatabase (apparently
321 broken since http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/xorg-commit-diffs/2004-March/000239.html).
322 - fix memory corruption bug when custom command sequences bound to keys
323 were injected into an already-full pty input buffer.
324 - gdk-pixbuf is autodetected by default and preferred over libafterimage.
325 - do not prepend a newline to the selection text when the starting line
326 of the selection is not highlighted (Emanuele Giaquinta).
327 - don't swap perl env with real env, save and restore it, just in case
328 we ever get recursive perl invocations. also saves a bit of codespace
329 with gcc.
330 - fix various memory leaks (Emanuele Giaquinta).
331 - fix typo in kIC terminfo capability, debian bug #446444.
332 - document 'thickness' resource.
333 - fix debian bug #504817, to the extent possible.
334 - try to detect byte order at compile time, saves a couple of
335 hundred bytes, if your compiler is smart enough.
336 - add support for previewing the pasted data in confirm-paste
337 (Emanuele Giaquinta).
338 - added "newlines to spaces" option in selection-popup.
339 - actually enabled solaris event ports backend (was disabled by accident).
340 - revert to 38400 baud max., mission accomplished.
341 - no longer create scary "pty_fill: PLEASE REPORT" message, instead,
342 silently drain the input (problem is well understood now).
343 - no longer swallow rob nation's own graphics mode commands.
344
3459.10 Mon Dec 13 17:43:52 CET 2010
346 - the "schmorp=north korea dickey=south korea" release.
347 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: make OSC 20 simpler and more correct
348 (Emanuele Giaquinta).
349 - if options were compiled out, this could lead to the option
350 count to be defined wrongly. This is likely behind the
351 failures with gcc 4.5.
352 - explicitly depend on fontconfig and xrender when xft support
353 is enabled. Although the public Xft api uses types from
354 both, in Xft 2.2.0 these libs are private
355 dependencies only thanks to an idiotic behaviour of
356 pkg-config that was added to workaround cases like this one.
357 Fixes linking when using GNU ld with --as-needed or GNU gold
358 (based on patch by Jan Palus).
359 - fix minor memory leaks in urxvt and urxvtd.
360 - fix regression in urxvtd that prevented options from being correctly
361 set (reported by Michal Vaner).
362 - implement xterm's horribly broken 1005 mouse reporting mode,
363 and an alternative 1015 mode that works in non-utf-8 locales
364 and has fewer limitations.
365 - fix a possible bug where mouse notifications didn't work after
366 startup for the upper left corner.
367 - implement our own pixbuf to pixmap rendering to get rid of
368 dependency on buggy gdk-pixbuf-xlib. Only truecolor visuals
369 are supported (Emanuele Giaquinta).
370 - apply tinting before shading when both operations are requested.
371 Previously they were intermixed when lightening and the result
372 was inaccurate and confusing. Note that now a black tint yields a
373 completely black image, regardless of shading (Emanuele Giaquinta).
374 - avoid spurious redraws of the bg image when bg is transparent or
375 when using 'root' mode (Emanuele Giaquinta).
376 - fix build on XFree86.
377 - dynamically number options according to compiletime requirements.
378 For the extra saved byte. Or so. Yay.
379 - start options at one, not zero. Wastes a bit per terminal. Maybe.
380 saves 50 instruction bytes. Possibly.
381
3829.09 Sat Nov 13 01:39:07 CET 2010
383 - NOTICE: this release updates terminfo/termcap.
384 - the bestest release ever.
385 - it was verified that urxvt handles µ and μ correctly.
386 - add support for blending and blurring with XRender (Emanuele Giaquinta).
387 - add support for using gdk-pixbuf as image backend (Emanuele Giaquinta).
388 - cleanup and minor fixes of the image code (Emanuele Giaquinta).
389 - new perl extension "confirm-paste" (Emanuele Giaquinta).
390 - new on_tt_paste perl hook and tt_paste perl binding (Emanuele Giaquinta).
391 - new on_bell perl hook (Emanuele Giaquinta).
392 - searchable-scrollback no longer ignores the first line
393 (Emanuele Giaquinta).
394 - properly set VSTATUS in termios for *BSD (reported by Ed Schouten).
395 - fix utmpx detection on upcoming FreeBSD 9.
396 - Use COMPOUND_TEXT encoding for WM_NAME/WM_ICON_NAME value when it
397 is not fully convertible to STRING (patch by James Cloos).
398 - fix a buffer overflow that would cause wrong key sequences to
399 be generated for numpad keys (introduced in 9.05).
400 - fix definition of sgr0 to work around limitations in luit.
401 - extend ISO 14755 5.4 mode to also print the font name of the
402 characters other than first one in the selected cell
403 (Emanuele Giaquinta).
404 - new iso14755 option to disable ISO 14755 at runtime
405 (Emanuele Giaquinta).
406 - make sure pagewise scrolling scrolls at least one line
407 (found by Mikachu).
408 - remove deprecated OSC 18 / 19 and make OSC 17 / 19 apply to
409 highlightColor / highlightTextColor (Emanuele Giaquinta).
410 - add highlightTextColor resource to change the foreground colour of
411 highlighted characters (Emanuele Giaquinta).
412 - make highlightColor apply also to selected cells with reverse video
413 but not to non selected cells with reverse video (Emanuele Giaquinta).
414 - remove colorRV resource (it was enabled only with frills off).
415 - fix numlock handling, the most longstanding bug to date (Emanuele Giaquinta).
416 - reduce the number of custom bits to 4, to make room
417 for 256 colours.
418 - add support for 256 colors (Emanuele Giaquinta, Marc Lehmann).
419 - add rxvt-unicode-256color terminfo and use it by default in 256 colors mode.
420 - update rxvt-unicode terminfo to state 7744 colour pairs to cover all
421 88*88 possible pairs.
422 - actually added macosx-clipboard-native, which should have been in
423 the 9.07 release but had been forgotten.
424 - fix hang if DECAWM is not set and there are not enough columns to insert a
425 character (Emanuele Giaquinta).
426 - cub1 ("backspace") will now respect wrapping when past the rightmost column,
427 working around a shortcoming of most tty line discipline's line editing.
428 - add support for grabbing the clipboard selection and extend
429 selection{_clear,_grab,} perl bindings to optionally work
430 on the clipboard selection (based on patch by Dana Jansens).
431 - no longer force CERASE to BACKSPACE - use the system default. affects
432 default value for VERASE only when no compatible setting for
433 backspacekey was given.
434 - use higher than 38400 baudrate setting, if detected.
435 - erase screen would clear to the wrong background when blinking
436 was enabled (which selects high intensity under some circumstances).
437 - scr_kill_char didn't touch the line.
438 - upgrade and port to libev-4.01.
439 - enabled solaris event ports and kqueue backends (if available).
440
4419.07 Wed Dec 30 07:07:18 CET 2009
442 - port to glibc-2.10 changes (strchr etc. returning const char *
443 in C++), based on patches by Milos Jakubicek and Oliver Mader.
444 - the binary search algorithm to find precomposed characters
445 was faulty, skipping some possible combinations (found by
446 Mikachu).
447 - new -letterspace option, patch by Mark H. Wilkinson.
448 - enable --mlock option for urxvt with frills on
449 systems supporting it (patch by Russell Harmon).
450 - urxvt did not compile without frills enabled
451 (analysed by Matthew Rosewarne).
452 - correctly reset the mbstate after an illegal
453 input sequence when handling terminal output (Emanuele Giaquinta).
454 - avoid redrawing wide characters with combining enabled on every
455 refresh (reported by Mikachu).
456 - fix a typo preventing the ISO-646.1991 character set from being
457 recognized (http://achurch.org/patch-pile/).
458 - better warning for x11 font encoding detection failures, also,
459 try to deduce encoding from both font properties and name
460 (adapted from http://achurch.org/patch-pile/).
461 - resizing the window with the scrollbar disabled via the escapes
462 sequence could make the window bigger again (Mikachu).
463 - make sure the alignment for fd passing control messages
464 is correct and work around some NetBSD issues (Taylor R Campbell).
465 - update to libptytty 1.3.
466 - replace macosx-clipboard by a nicer version by Reza Jelveh, and move
467 the old version to macosx-clipboard-native.
468 - document the -uc option (Emanuele Giaquinta).
469 - assertions in libev are now enabled depending on frills.
470 - update AnyEvent implementation to version 5.23 API.
471 - work around arrogant bsd idiocies again: netbsd spills the default
472 namespace with lots of symbols "for gnu/gcc compatibility" even
473 though neither of them does it, and then calls the rest of the world
474 in need of fixing. go figure.
475 - on_keyboard_command is on_user_command (patch by Michael Witten).
476 - setting the selection from perl will now reset the selection screen
477 to the current screen. the screen can be manipulated using
478 the new ->selection_screen method.
479 - implement --enable-assert configure option and get rid of DEBUG_STRICT
480 (based on patch by Emanuele Giaquinta).

487 - NOTICE: this release updates terminfo/termcap.
488 - updates libev to 3.48.
489 - the aterm code now frees the as visual and image manager objects
490 when a window was closed.
491 - do not (wrongly) adjust the virtual line length inside
492 scr_insdel_chars/ERASE (Miroslav Lichvar).
493 - fix an issue where wide tab characters caused character shifts
494 when part of them was deleted (tracked down by Miroslav Lichvar).
495 - artificially enlargen the previous character at the end of a line
496 when trying to output a character that doesn't fit. looks ugly, but
497 makes copy&paste work.
498 - remove bogus "setuid/setgid security issues" from rxvt.1.pod, they
499 no longer apply.
500 - the urgency hint is now cleared on both focus in and focus out.
501 - cache urgency hint locally to avoid server rtt on every focus change.
502 - perl 5.10 needs PERL_SYS_INIT3 on hppa.
503 - ignore byte-order marks and do not treat them like combining characters.
504 - fix build issue when CURSOR_BLINK is not defined (Emanuele Giaquinta).
505 - do some µ-optimisations to the character fast path.
506 - use a less cunning, but more robust algorithm to avoid one terminal
507 monopolising the whole process by outputting a lot of text.
508 - try to work around linux first breaking sched_yield and now breaking
509 the only known workaround.
510 - new option -icon to set _NET_WM_ICON (based on patch by Frank Schmitt).
511 - initialise the as visual only on demand, instead of unconditionally,
512 to save memory in the common case of not using visual gimmicks.
513 - try to work around bugs in a few wm's that erroneously resize
514 client windows on hint property updates by temporarily
515 disabling size hints.
516 - implement the DECSTR soft reset sequence and use it for tput init,
517 and make hard RIS and DECSTR both reset more private modes, such
518 as mouse reporting.
519 - redundantly clear mouse reporting and a few other states in
520 tput init/tput reset, for older urxvts.
521 - partial/full clear screens did cause flickering and possibly pixel
522 droppings when urxvt viewed the scrollback buffer.
523 - use current rendition style in DCH sequence.
524 - the 132/80 mode switch no longer forces a screen reset.
525 - add an osc sequence to change the border colour (Emanuele Giaquinta).
526 - new perl extension "overlay-osc", for status displays and the like.
527 - fix some minor cursor drawing issues with overlays by allowing
528 overlays to modify screen flags (to disable the cursor themselves).

530 (analysed by Miroslav Lichvar).
531

536 header file for it (report by Tuncer Ayaz).
537 - upgrade libev, fixing a bug in the select backend.
538 with more than 31 file descriptors on non-linux 64 bit systems.
539 - correctly reset the multibyte state to the initial one
540 after EILSEQ (patch by Neil Booth). This fixes the
541 issue of rxvt-unicode not properly displaying text after an illegal
542 sequence on NetBSD and probably other systems.
543 - more intelligent property handling with -pe tabbed, works around
544 broken window managers (kwm et al.), saves bandwidth and should
545 help working window managers as well.
546 - made tabs moveable (based on a patch by Petr Machata).
547 - implement ESC [ 3 K as a more rational alternative to ESC [ 0 K.
548 - support relative paths for RXVT_SOCKET in urxvtd.
549 - the tabbed extension now blindly copies over all (rxvt-) resources
550 from the toplevel window to the children.
551 - better diagnostic on 0x0 window geometries.
552 - update AnyEvent API to version 3.4 and above.
553 - document the default value of :0 for DISPLAY.

555
5569.02 Tue Jan 29 11:58:36 CET 2008
557 - the "exg makes everybody happy" release.
558 - fix build with !xft.
559 - always compile in plain style scrollbar (simplifies code and looks great).
560
5619.01 Sat Jan 26 20:49:27 CET 2008
562 - be more aggressive about handling X events, this seems to be required
563 with newer xlibs (should fix the "screen stays black until event is
564 received" problem, again :)
565 - add buffered resource to control xft double-buffering.
566
5679.0 Fri Jan 25 19:34:04 CET 2008
568 - fix a crash bug where urxvtd would crash when urxvtc was called
569 with wrong arguments (I wish debian maintainers in general would
570 report bugs and their proposed fixes to the original package maintainers
571 instead of sitting on them for good measure to see if anybody notices).
572 - drawing xft compose characters was causing garbage to be drawn.
573 - correctly clear xft character background in all cases.
574 - implement bracketed paste mode (xterm private mode 2004).
575 - improve documentation on alpha channel handling, make urxvt
576 work better on servers lacking the RENDER extension when alpha
577 channels or background images are used.
578 - check for refresh after initialising to avoid staying blank
579 till the first event arrives. or so.
580 - the FORCE_UNBUFFERED_XFT feature macro works again.
581 - continuously update transparency while moving/resizing now.
582 - OSC 39/49 are deprecated and aliased to OSC 10/11.
583 - cub1 now acts as advertised (and ignores the "wrapped" state).
584 - the 132/80 mode switch now forces a height of 24, too, and
585 resets the terminal.
586 - scrollbar code cleanups.
587 - stopping children is no longer confused with children exiting.
588 - removed (undocumented) #aarrggbb format.
589 - updated to libev 3.0.
590
5918.9 Mon Dec 24 07:51:40 CET 2007
592 - fix the issue where urxvtd would not immediately close a window
593 when the command exited but only on the next X event.
594 - changed terminfo file not to use application keypad mode.
595 - fix the issue where making a selection in one urxvtd window
596 would not clear it visually in another.
597 - fix an issue of urxvt not getting background pixmap updates
598 and flickering after bg pixmap changes (reported by Mikachu).
599 - fix redraw bug in xterm scrollbar with -sr (reported by Mikachu).
600 - correctly provide dependencies for libev (µikachu).
601 - minor code reorganisations and cleanups.
602 - be more robust in case the urxvt-popup extension cannot be loaded.
603
6048.8 Sat Dec 15 19:40:39 CET 2007
605 - option -C was aliased to all unsupported options, activating
606 options that shouldn't be compiled in, leading to interesting
607 effects.
608 - updated libev, working around a bug in linux 2.4, curing the
609 symptom of urxvt not closing its window on shell exit. also
610 fixes a problem with urxvt not refreshing.
611 - the text blink callback was called even when no blinking
612 text was visible.
613 - pre-8.4 slipwheeling behaviour has been reinstated, with
614 some minor improvements.
615 - streamlined x events processing to only flush once per
616 display and not once per terminal window.
617 - quite a bit of minor code cleanups and codesize optimisations.
618
6198.7 Sun Nov 25 10:23:49 CET 2007
620 - update libev with an important bugfix that would cause crashes
621 when closing windows (when using rxvtd, and update is recommended).
622 - do not compile in the block builtin graphics with --disable-frills.
623
6248.6 Fri Nov 23 14:10:57 CET 2007
625 - upgrade libev to disable kqueue on anything but netbsd as it
626 seems to be broken everywhere else w.r.t. ptys.
627 - allow for spurious event notifications, as at least epoll and
628 especially solaris ports like to lie about them (symptoms:
629 urxvt "hangs" until there is some x11 related activity).
630 - -keysym command line options are now subjected to xlib parsing.
631 - add 'xrm' option analogous to Xt one.
632
6338.5a Wed Nov 21 10:16:33 CET 2007
634 - make it compile with --disable-transparency.
635
6368.5 Wed Nov 21 05:19:20 CET 2007
637 - expect major portability issues in this release: please test and report.
638 - converted from the veritable io manager event loop to
639 the high performance libev (http://software.schmorp.de/pkg/libev).
640 - minor tuning to the perl selection (include single words and more quoting chars).
641 - fix memory leak in pixmap code.
642 - fix a serious bug while setting the XIM destroy callback
643 on (typical) 64 bit systems.
644 - automove-background functionality re-implemented internally using :root op in pixmap
645 geometry string. For example: rxvt -pixmap "image.jpg;:root"
646 - do not link rxvtc against every lib on the planet anymore.
647 - parallel builds should work once more.
648
6498.4 Sat Oct 27 14:02:13 CEST 2007
650 - overhaul of the transparency/pixmap code (sasha).
651 - fix possible race between visual bell and poweron.
652 (reported by Martin von Gagern, gentoo?).
653 - urxvt -e no longer crashes the child.
654 - fixed some minor memleaks on incorrect usage or
655 missing DISPLAY.
656 - implement xterm 1002/1003 mouse tracking modes (exg).
657 - source code organisational cleanups (exg).
658 - updated io_manager.
659
6608.3 Wed Aug 1 20:21:31 CEST 2007
661 - new option: skipScroll/-ss, enabled by default.
662 - go with the times and expect x11 library files in /usr/lib, not
663 /usr/X11R6/lib.
664 - initial transparency improvement/afterimage support
665 patch by Sasha Vasko.
666 - add urgentOnBell resource to set the urgency hint
667 (patch by Philip Paeps).
668 - do not process focus events caused by grabs
669 (patch by Mikachu).
670 - add iso14755_52 resource to disable iso14755 5.2 (exg).
671 - add binding for backspace in iso14755 5.1 to remove the last
672 digit (exg).
673 - better option handling, support more than 30 options (exg).
674 - nuke reconf script, serves no purpose anymore.
675 - fixed and documented matcher/on_user_command processing in matcher
676 extension (tpope).
677 - compile out of the box on Solaris 10 (exg).
678 - fix MappingNotify events (reported by Stephan Walter).
679 - zero-initialise mwmhints, this seems to solve all sorts of minor
680 problems.
681
6828.2 Sat Feb 17 21:35:28 CET 2007
683 - fix make depend in src/, reported by exg.
684 - fixed typo in urxvt::GET_CUSTOM, causing the result to be wrong.
685 (patch by Sergey Vlasov).
686 - unbundled iom perl interface somewhat.
687 - scrollbar-xterm now uses the selected scrollColor instead of fg
688 (found by Aiviru).
689 - disabled linux kernel bug workaround again: disabling it gives
690 a 50% speed hit on affected machines, while enabling it gives
691 a similar speed hit to screen, which is likely the more common
692 case to work around for :/
693 - urxvt::rend2mask perl function, and utilization of it by matcher
694 (patch by Moshe Kamensky).
695 - use perl:matcher on a keysym to open most recently displayed URL.
696 - with matcher, when multiple patterns match, last wins, not first.
697 - fix make and make install with srcdir != builddir (exg).
698 - updated bundled libptytty to fix a bug where the tty would be kept
699 open (see the libptytty ChangeLog for details).
700 - delay setting the IUTF8 flag to after the tty settings have been
701 set so its value does not get lost (reported and analysed by Andrei
702 Paskevich).
703 - rip out support for obsolete sgtty.h interface.
704 - rip out support for non-POSIX termios variants.
705 - update libptytty.
706 - update iom.C, make it call ptytty::sanitise_stdfd on init.
707 - when !XFT, change rounding of colours to use a less correct formula to
708 meet user expectancies (#aaa becomes #a000a000a000 not #9f9f9f9f9f9f).
709 - change the starting offset of the pixmap set with backgroundPixmap
710 from (50,50) to (0,0) (exg).
711 - fix a typo in button_release, now meta-button2 request the value of
712 the Clipboard selection as it should (patch by Serge Koksharov).
713 - fix a bug in drawing a cell with a nonspacing char when using an xft
714 font with inheritPixmap and tintColor (exg).
715
7168.1 Thu Dec 7 22:27:25 CET 2006
717 - ケリスマスプレゼント - zomg!!1, it's too early!!!
718 - fix the assumption that chars < 256 are single-width. Now
719 only assume this for codepoints 32 to 126 (reported by Dai.H.).
720 - $term->strwidth returned wide chars as width 1, because some jerk
721 confused min and max. Fixing this also fixes xim-onthespot.
722 Reported by Takano Akio.
723 - secondaryScroll is now enabled by default (as per the manpage),
724 reported by exg.
725 - correct the description of [percent]color rgba format in the manpage.
726 - incorporated macosx-clipboard extension by Samuel Ljungkvist.
727 - ignore (some) useless focus events (reported by mmc).
728 - updated compose table to unicode 5.0.0.
729
7308.0 Thu Nov 2 18:35:19 CET 2006
731 - combining characters cleared the area instead of creating an overlay,
732 thus losing the ability to draw combining characters properly in most
733 circumstances (reported by exg).
734 - specified fonts were incorrectly morphed to bold/italic according to the
735 basefont, even if explicitly specified (tracked down by tpope).
736 - fixed urxvt::strwidth to calculate width in the same way as screen.C.
737 - fix a crash caused by passing negative widths to overlay functions.
738 - added 'matcher' extension by tpope, replacing the mark-urls extension.
739 - improve url regex to match anything www.* (tpope).
740 - fixed bug with outline cursor color being wrong after xft fonts.
741 - update to libptytty-1.0.
742 - give proper diagnostic when RXVT_SOCKET is too long instead of
743 corrupting the stack (patch by exg).
744 - display current terminal locale in option menu.
745 - urxvtd no longer crashes when the client sends an inaccessible
746 working directory (reported by Roland Baer, possibly fixes gentoo
747 bug #143985).
748 - fixed many minor issues reported by Roland Baer.
749 - Leonid Khramov spotted a minor glitch in rxvtfont.C that
750 should not have any consequences, but was buggy nonetheless.
751 - manpage fix by exg.
752
7537.9 Mon Aug 7 18:16:07 CEST 2006
754 - fix the crashing bug people encountered with 7.8 + urxvtd + perl
755 + transparency. Ought to fix debian bug #380348.
756 - fix urxvtc.1.pod: it actually claimed -pty-fd would not work. But
757 it does! :->
758 - rxvt_fatal() in case the locale string is too long for our static buffer.
759 - fixed many, many, typos in the manpages (patch supplied by ves).
760
7617.8 Mon Jul 17 21:00:46 CEST 2006
762 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: this version will always read ~/.Xdefaults,
763 earlier versions only read it if display-resources (usually from
764 .Xresources) are not set. This avoids the #1 FAQ ("why isn't my
765 resource used") and seems to be logical behaviour, too. .Xdefaults
766 resources have a lower priority than display-specific resources.
767 - add "kuake" perl extension that does a similar thing to the kuake
768 terminal emulator (see man urxvtperl).
769 - use less "correct" color scaling that is compatible with libX11 and
770 Xft (avoids off-by-one colors resulting in striped backgrounds).
771 - the "depth" resource is now respected.
772 - preset the searchable-scrollback pattern with "(?i)" to default search
773 to case-insensitivity. Will automatically be cleared when typing an
774 uppercase character.
775 - add FORCE_UNBUFFERED_XFT define to features.h.
776 - re-enabled highlightcolor support with --enable-frills, based on
777 a patch by Martin Stubenschrott.
778 - double-buffered xft drawing did suffer from pixel offset issues
779 when pixmap transparency was enabled.
780 - strategically add # to the url-match regexes, as we really want to
781 match common URIs not common URLs. Reported by Aaron Griffin.
782 - moved on_osc_seq to on_osc_seq_perl and added a more
783 generic osc_seq.
784 - fix a bug causing double callback invocations when perl hooks
785 were invoked recursively.
786 - the automove-background extension now properly works when the
787 pixmap gets reset with an osc sequence (sqweek).
788 - selection-pastebin did not work properly with non-latin1-characters.
789 - apply colorUL only when the text colour is the default fg
790 (patch by Wu Fengguang).
791 - removed rxvtlib.h from the tarball, it had no reason to be there
792 (spotted by Decklin Foster).
793 - fix compiling with TRANSPARENT but !XPM_BACKGROUND, as reported
794 by omatunto_.
795 - slap in a using namespace std, might help on platforms that don't
796 follow C++ closely enough.
797 - fix mailto url regex, spotted within milliseconds by Jost Krieger.
798 - applied fade_color_update_func.patch by WU Fengguang.
799 - fix a bug where (due to an optimisation in av_delete), hiding the
800 bottom-most overlay would hide two overlays.
801
8027.7 Tue Feb 21 12:32:49 CET 2006
803 - use double-buffered drawing (xft fonts only). On many driver/hardware
804 combination this actually increases xft drawing speed, at the expense
805 of more network bandwidth and slight nausea on the side of the author.
806 - readline perl extension now requires shift-click instead of a normal
807 click, and eats the click.
808 - tabbed perl extension now supports -e.
809 - disabled graphics-exposures on the main drawing GC, report any
810 refresh bugs please.
811 - improve property handling for -pe tabbed: avoid unnecessary property
812 changes (for kde's benefit) at the expense of extra round-trips,
813 improve size hint setting.
814 - modified XIM according to a patch sent by Takano Akio that sets
815 the preedit rectangle for OverTheSpot, which helps some input methods
816 to correctly position their preedit window.
817 - un-optimise the line clearing on newly scrolled-in lines a bit: the
818 former reasoning was that any fg colour on default bg looks the same
819 in empty spaces, but that's not true when reversing (e.g. selection),
820 so also check for matching fg colours. This fixes the problem where
821 selecting newly scrolled-in lines would exhibit wrong colours.
822 - fix a bug in the perl interface causing focus in events to generate
823 focus out perl events, causing bad focus effects with -pe tabbed.
824 - fix a race resulting in a crash on exiting.
825 - fix a with --disable-xft that caused xfreecolors to be called on
826 colors never allocated, resulting in aborts (reported by Paco-Paco).
827 - resources on non-initial screens weren't refetched correctly
828 (reported by Paco-Paco).
829 - fix a bug in xcopyarea pass and _disable_ it, as it seems not to be
830 working in either rxvt-unicode nor in the original rxvt.
831 - removed undocumented -exec alias for the -e option.
832
8337.6 Fri Feb 10 08:52:36 CET 2006
18 - changed interpretation of [alpha] colour prefix. 834 - changed interpretation of [alpha] colour prefix.
19 - +option now really sets the option to default, instead of using the 835 - +option now really sets the option to default, instead of using the
20 resource value. 836 resource value.
21 - options that require an argument now really _require_ an argument. 837 - options that require an argument now really _require_ an argument.
838 - the tabbed extension now forwards focus and key events to the
839 relevant tab window.
840 - tab colours are now configurable and have sensible defaults
841 (initial patch by hednod).
842 - option menu is extendable, readline, selection and
843 selection-autotransform can now be disabled/enabled at runtime.
844 - forcing a configure event to tabbed subwindows with -pe tabbed, for
845 the benefit of automove-background.
846 - the automove-background extension added a wrong constant offset.
22 - force refresh of XA_RESOURCE_STRING on virtual reconnect. 847 - force refresh of XA_RESOURCE_STRING on virtual reconnect.
23 - return exit status 2 in urxvtc when urxvtd couldn't be contacted. 848 - return exit status 2 in urxvtc when urxvtd couldn't be contacted.
24 - the linux yield hack is back, now using usleep, and enabled only on 849 - the linux yield hack is back, now using usleep, and enabled only on
25 __linux__. 850 __linux__.
26 - further round trip eliminations in the !XFT case by remembering 851 - further round trip eliminations in the !XFT case by remembering
27 the colour components. 852 the colour components.
28 - plain scrollbar works better with -sr. 853 - plain scrollbar works better with -sr.
29 - fixed half-shadow scrollbar look. 854 - fixed half-shadow scrollbar look.
