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.

359.18 Sun Mar 24 15:33:35 CET 2013
36 - fix regression that caused artifacts on resize.
37
389.17 Fri Mar 1 13:46:08 CET 2013
39 - add shade operator in background perl extension.
40 - avoid starting or ending the selection in the middle of wide
41 characters to avoid artifacts (reproted by Tiago Resende).
42 - fix artifacts that may occur if the character in the cursor
43 cell has width > 1 (reported by Tiago Resende).
44 - fix regression that causes artifacts on scrolling if
45 saveLines is 0 and the window is resized (reported by Bert
46 Münnich).
47 - fix build when perl is enabled and pixbuf and transparency
48 are disabled.
49
509.16 Thu Dec 27 11:56:43 CET 2012
51 - the "so much new stuff your eyes will pop out" release.
52 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: renamed urlLauncher resource to url-launcher.
53 - fix processing of DEC private mode save sequences (patch by Patrick
54 Hemmer).
55 - perl extensions now have their own manpages, installed as urxvt-NAME(1),
56 e.g. urxvt-background(1) - see urxvt-extensions(1) for a list.
57 - fix disabling of cursor blink with the option-popup menu (based on a
58 patch by Jan Larres).
59 - the font height is not augmented anymore when lineSpace is non zero.
60 - fix "new pagemap" vs. "delete pagemap" mismatch ([] vs. non-[]),
61 as diagnosed by clang.
62 - fix height mismatch between active and inactive cursor when
63 lineSpace is non zero (patch by Stanislav Seletskiy).
64 - make it compile with LOCAL_X_IS_UNIX again (reported by
65 nickfailure@gmail.com).
66 - completely redone background pixmap support - users can now
67 specify arbitrary expressions (And programs) that calculate
68 new terminal backgrounds. see the urxvt-background manpage
69 for details.
70 - xrender is now required for background pixmap support.
71 - perl extensions can now provide commandline switches and resources
72 which show up in -help etc.
73 - iso14755 51 mode window now displays row and column.
74 - implement a -visual switch and move that and -depth to frills, also
75 warn when we can't get the requested visual.
76 - new env variable: RXVT_PERL_LIB.
77 - allocate all screen memory in one go and let the virtual memory
78 subsystem sort it out. this simplifies code, improves access
79 locality, saves a bit of ram and makes things a bit faster, too.
80 - remove support for libafterimage.
81 - update to CVS version of libev, for a whopping 11kb size decrease.
82 - do not ship yet another copy of ecb.h, use the one in libev or
83 libptytty instead.
84 - selectively mark some methods as cache-hot/cache cold, which
85 might speed up execution but definitely decreases codesize.
86 - Fix regression that prevented the scrollbar trough color
87 from being applied (reported by Derek B. Noonburg).
88 - Fix the scrollbar size for rxvt style (patch by Mark Robinson).
89
909.15 Sat Jan 21 13:36:56 CET 2012
91 - remove "using namespace std" because clang erroneously
92 thinks thats an error.
93 - finding a matching font (e.g. bold version of the base font)
94 was broken (reported by Eamon Walker).
95 - fix parsing of bg image styles. They really work now.
96 - fix blurring of bg image borders when using xrender.
97 - fix xrender blur on common xrender implementations that do
98 not behave correctly when the same pixmap is used as source
99 and destination in composite operations.
100 - fix regression that caused tabbed to compute the wrong size
101 for tabs.
102 - allow again an empty suffix in a keysym list spec (patch by
103 Sung Pae).
104 - unsupported support for sun studio's CC added.
105 - fix -C option on solaris.
106
1079.14 Wed Dec 21 18:40:33 CET 2011
108 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: the urxvtd default socket path is now
109 $HOME/.urxvt/urxvtd-<nodename>.
110 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: the "list" keysym expansion now requires
111 loading of the "keysym-list" perl extension.
112 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: A scale value of 0 in the bg image
113 geometry no longer enables tiling, so as to make it possible
114 to disable both scaling and tiling.
115 - overhaul of the bg image operations. The old operations have
116 been deprecated in favour of elementary operations and
117 styles built on top of the new operations and scale/position
118 settings. (Emanuele Giaquinta).
119 - support for libafterimage is deprecated and will be removed
120 in the next release.
121 - fix a crash caused by selection_check not properly resetting
122 out-of-bounds mark values (can happen when extending a selection
123 while scrolling up in curses programs for example).
124 - do not move the selection when scrolling up and the selection is
125 outside the scrolling region (Emanuele Giaquinta).
126 - fix display of bold bright black (reported by Ben Winslow).
127 - fix memory leak when urgentOnBell is set (patch by Nathaniel
128 Filardo).
129 - fix a redraw bug that occurs when a bg pixmap is set and the
130 wm does not honour the size hints set by urxvt. Now urxvt
131 forces the size of the terminal window to be a multiple of
132 the cell size.
133 - sanitise the argument of SD / SU sequences. Fixes a possible
134 crash when the argument is big enough, red hat bug #711137
135 (Emanuele Giaquinta).
136 - correctly split long lines when scrolling.
137 - urxvt now looks for perl extensions also in $HOME/.urxvt/ext.
138 - add bell-command perl extension to execute a command when a
139 bell event occurs (Ryan Kavanagh).
140 - add set_urgency perl binding to set/reset the urgency hint.
141 - consume button release event in matcher (exg).
142 - keyboard accessible list of recent matches in matcher
143 (Bob Farrell).
144 - properly process 'keysym' sequences in tabbed when using
145 'focus follows mouse' and the focus is on the main window
146 but not on the active terminal window (patch by Martin
147 Pohlack).
148 - support for the freedesktop startup-notification protocol (patch by
149 Michael Stapelberg).
150 - the direction of VPR and VPB commands was reversed.
151 - fix alignment of inherited root pixmap when it is a different size
152 than the root window and the terminal window is off the left or top
153 edge (Mikachu).
154 - make $self visible in "eval perl expression" popup action, also
155 handle exceptions better.
156 - fix parsing of '-e' when it occurs as an option argument, such as in
157 'urxvt -title -e' (Emanuele Giaquinta).
158
1599.12 Wed Jun 29 14:34:28 CEST 2011
160 - fix regression in processing of SelectionNotify events.
161 urxvt would fail to request a selection if the owner did not
162 support the UTF8_STRING target.
163 - fix rendering of double width chars in certain circumstances, more
164 likely to happen if urxvt is compiled with 256 colors support as
165 urxvt runs out of fonts much earlier then. Fixes gentoo bug #358151
166 (Emanuele Giaquinta).
167 - restore support for 'list' syntax in keysym resources (requested by Sung Pae).
168 - always premultiply colour values - while this increases differences between
169 core fonts and xft, it is "more correct" in practical situations.
170 - disable PTYTTY_REENTRANT option - not needed for urxvt and saves a bit of code.
171 - remove lucidatypewriter from the list of fallback fonts, it was the only
172 non-xft non-cellfont in the list anyway.
173
1749.11 Mon May 2 10:34:46 CEST 2011
175 - fix compilation on GNU/Hurd, debian bug #624736.
176 - remove 'list' syntax for keysym resources, as it serves no useful purpose.
177 If you need it, poke us and provide a use case.
178 - fix alpha channel support. Premultiply alpha in colours if the visual
179 supports an alpha channel, as xrender expects premultiplied alpha
180 (Emanuele Giaquinta).
181 - fix reply to a selection request sent by an obsolete client
182 such as syncterm (patch by Marcin Cieslak).
183 - fix crash when the window is resized and the overlay is active
184 (Emanuele Giaquinta, reported by Ryan Kavanagh).
185 - match character-wise rather than byte-wise in selection
186 extension again. perl 5.8.9+ is required to avoid extreme
187 slowdowns. Fixes debian bugs #523072, #616463.
188 - fix a possible crash if the INCR transfer process for a
189 selection property timeouts and at least one chunk is
190 received. (Emanuele Giaquinta)
191 - work around a memory corruption bug in xorg's XrmSetDatabase (apparently
192 broken since http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/xorg-commit-diffs/2004-March/000239.html).
193 - fix memory corruption bug when custom command sequences bound to keys
194 were injected into an already-full pty input buffer.
195 - gdk-pixbuf is autodetected by default and preferred over libafterimage.
196 - do not prepend a newline to the selection text when the starting line
197 of the selection is not highlighted (Emanuele Giaquinta).
198 - don't swap perl env with real env, save and restore it, just in case
199 we ever get recursive perl invocations. also saves a bit of codespace
200 with gcc.
201 - fix various memory leaks (Emanuele Giaquinta).
202 - fix typo in kIC terminfo capability, debian bug #446444.
203 - document 'thickness' resource.
204 - fix debian bug #504817, to the extent possible.
205 - try to detect byte order at compile time, saves a couple of
206 hundred bytes, if your compiler is smart enough.
207 - add support for previewing the pasted data in confirm-paste
208 (Emanuele Giaquinta).
209 - added "newlines to spaces" option in selection-popup.
210 - actually enabled solaris event ports backend (was disabled by accident).
211 - revert to 38400 baud max., mission accomplished.
212 - no longer create scary "pty_fill: PLEASE REPORT" message, instead,
213 silently drain the input (problem is well understood now).
214 - no longer swallow rob nation's own graphics mode commands.
215
2169.10 Mon Dec 13 17:43:52 CET 2010
217 - the "schmorp=north korea dickey=south korea" release.
218 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: make OSC 20 simpler and more correct
219 (Emanuele Giaquinta).
220 - if options were compiled out, this could lead to the option
221 count to be defined wrongly. This is likely behind the
222 failures with gcc 4.5.
223 - explicitly depend on fontconfig and xrender when xft support
224 is enabled. Although the public Xft api uses types from
225 both, in Xft 2.2.0 these libs are private
226 dependencies only thanks to an idiotic behaviour of
227 pkg-config that was added to workaround cases like this one.
228 Fixes linking when using GNU ld with --as-needed or GNU gold
229 (based on patch by Jan Palus).
230 - fix minor memory leaks in urxvt and urxvtd.
231 - fix regression in urxvtd that prevented options from being correctly
232 set (reported by Michal Vaner).
233 - implement xterm's horribly broken 1005 mouse reporting mode,
234 and an alternative 1015 mode that works in non-utf-8 locales
235 and has fewer limitations.
236 - fix a possible bug where mouse notifications didn't work after
237 startup for the upper left corner.
238 - implement our own pixbuf to pixmap rendering to get rid of
239 dependency on buggy gdk-pixbuf-xlib. Only truecolor visuals
240 are supported (Emanuele Giaquinta).
241 - apply tinting before shading when both operations are requested.
242 Previously they were intermixed when lightening and the result
243 was inaccurate and confusing. Note that now a black tint yields a
244 completely black image, regardless of shading (Emanuele Giaquinta).
245 - avoid spurious redraws of the bg image when bg is transparent or
246 when using 'root' mode (Emanuele Giaquinta).
247 - fix build on XFree86.
248 - dynamically number options according to compiletime requirements.
249 For the extra saved byte. Or so. Yay.
250 - start options at one, not zero. Wastes a bit per terminal. Maybe.
251 saves 50 instruction bytes. Possibly.
252
2539.09 Sat Nov 13 01:39:07 CET 2010
254 - NOTICE: this release updates terminfo/termcap.
255 - the bestest release ever.
256 - it was verified that urxvt handles µ and μ correctly.
257 - add support for blending and blurring with XRender (Emanuele Giaquinta).
258 - add support for using gdk-pixbuf as image backend (Emanuele Giaquinta).
259 - cleanup and minor fixes of the image code (Emanuele Giaquinta).
260 - new perl extension "confirm-paste" (Emanuele Giaquinta).
261 - new on_tt_paste perl hook and tt_paste perl binding (Emanuele Giaquinta).
262 - new on_bell perl hook (Emanuele Giaquinta).
263 - searchable-scrollback no longer ignores the first line
264 (Emanuele Giaquinta).
265 - properly set VSTATUS in termios for *BSD (reported by Ed Schouten).
266 - fix utmpx detection on upcoming FreeBSD 9.
267 - Use COMPOUND_TEXT encoding for WM_NAME/WM_ICON_NAME value when it
268 is not fully convertible to STRING (patch by James Cloos).
269 - fix a buffer overflow that would cause wrong key sequences to
270 be generated for numpad keys (introduced in 9.05).
271 - fix definition of sgr0 to work around limitations in luit.
272 - extend ISO 14755 5.4 mode to also print the font name of the
273 characters other than first one in the selected cell
274 (Emanuele Giaquinta).
275 - new iso14755 option to disable ISO 14755 at runtime
276 (Emanuele Giaquinta).
277 - make sure pagewise scrolling scrolls at least one line
278 (found by Mikachu).
279 - remove deprecated OSC 18 / 19 and make OSC 17 / 19 apply to
280 highlightColor / highlightTextColor (Emanuele Giaquinta).
281 - add highlightTextColor resource to change the foreground colour of
282 highlighted characters (Emanuele Giaquinta).
283 - make highlightColor apply also to selected cells with reverse video
284 but not to non selected cells with reverse video (Emanuele Giaquinta).
285 - remove colorRV resource (it was enabled only with frills off).
286 - fix numlock handling, the most longstanding bug to date (Emanuele Giaquinta).
287 - reduce the number of custom bits to 4, to make room
288 for 256 colours.
289 - add support for 256 colors (Emanuele Giaquinta, Marc Lehmann).
290 - add rxvt-unicode-256color terminfo and use it by default in 256 colors mode.
291 - update rxvt-unicode terminfo to state 7744 colour pairs to cover all
292 88*88 possible pairs.
293 - actually added macosx-clipboard-native, which should have been in
294 the 9.07 release but had been forgotten.
295 - fix hang if DECAWM is not set and there are not enough columns to insert a
296 character (Emanuele Giaquinta).
297 - cub1 ("backspace") will now respect wrapping when past the rightmost column,
298 working around a shortcoming of most tty line discipline's line editing.
299 - add support for grabbing the clipboard selection and extend
300 selection{_clear,_grab,} perl bindings to optionally work
301 on the clipboard selection (based on patch by Dana Jansens).
302 - no longer force CERASE to BACKSPACE - use the system default. affects
303 default value for VERASE only when no compatible setting for
304 backspacekey was given.
305 - use higher than 38400 baudrate setting, if detected.
306 - erase screen would clear to the wrong background when blinking
307 was enabled (which selects high intensity under some circumstances).
308 - scr_kill_char didn't touch the line.
309 - upgrade and port to libev-4.01.
310 - enabled solaris event ports and kqueue backends (if available).
311
3129.07 Wed Dec 30 07:07:18 CET 2009
313 - port to glibc-2.10 changes (strchr etc. returning const char *
314 in C++), based on patches by Milos Jakubicek and Oliver Mader.
315 - the binary search algorithm to find precomposed characters
316 was faulty, skipping some possible combinations (found by
317 Mikachu).
318 - new -letterspace option, patch by Mark H. Wilkinson.
319 - enable --mlock option for urxvt with frills on
320 systems supporting it (patch by Russell Harmon).
321 - urxvt did not compile without frills enabled
322 (analysed by Matthew Rosewarne).
323 - correctly reset the mbstate after an illegal
324 input sequence when handling terminal output (Emanuele Giaquinta).
325 - avoid redrawing wide characters with combining enabled on every
326 refresh (reported by Mikachu).
327 - fix a typo preventing the ISO-646.1991 character set from being
328 recognized (http://achurch.org/patch-pile/).
329 - better warning for x11 font encoding detection failures, also,
330 try to deduce encoding from both font properties and name
331 (adapted from http://achurch.org/patch-pile/).
332 - resizing the window with the scrollbar disabled via the escapes
333 sequence could make the window bigger again (Mikachu).
334 - make sure the alignment for fd passing control messages
335 is correct and work around some NetBSD issues (Taylor R Campbell).
336 - update to libptytty 1.3.
337 - replace macosx-clipboard by a nicer version by Reza Jelveh, and move
338 the old version to macosx-clipboard-native.
339 - document the -uc option (Emanuele Giaquinta).
340 - assertions in libev are now enabled depending on frills.
341 - update AnyEvent implementation to version 5.23 API.
342 - work around arrogant bsd idiocies again: netbsd spills the default
343 namespace with lots of symbols "for gnu/gcc compatibility" even
344 though neither of them does it, and then calls the rest of the world
345 in need of fixing. go figure.
346 - on_keyboard_command is on_user_command (patch by Michael Witten).
347 - setting the selection from perl will now reset the selection screen
348 to the current screen. the screen can be manipulated using
349 the new ->selection_screen method.
350 - implement --enable-assert configure option and get rid of DEBUG_STRICT
351 (based on patch by Emanuele Giaquinta).

353 - allow `xxx' quoting style for perl selection.
354 - upgrade to libev-3.9 prerelease.
355 - updated compose tables to unicode 5.2.0.
356
3579.06 Sat Nov 8 17:47:18 CET 2008
358 - NOTICE: this release updates terminfo/termcap.
359 - updates libev to 3.48.
360 - the aterm code now frees the as visual and image manager objects
361 when a window was closed.
362 - do not (wrongly) adjust the virtual line length inside
363 scr_insdel_chars/ERASE (Miroslav Lichvar).
364 - fix an issue where wide tab characters caused character shifts
365 when part of them was deleted (tracked down by Miroslav Lichvar).
366 - artificially enlargen the previous character at the end of a line
367 when trying to output a character that doesn't fit. looks ugly, but
368 makes copy&paste work.
369 - remove bogus "setuid/setgid security issues" from rxvt.1.pod, they
370 no longer apply.
371 - the urgency hint is now cleared on both focus in and focus out.
372 - cache urgency hint locally to avoid server rtt on every focus change.
373 - perl 5.10 needs PERL_SYS_INIT3 on hppa.
374 - ignore byte-order marks and do not treat them like combining characters.
375 - fix build issue when CURSOR_BLINK is not defined (Emanuele Giaquinta).
376 - do some µ-optimisations to the character fast path.
377 - use a less cunning, but more robust algorithm to avoid one terminal
378 monopolising the whole process by outputting a lot of text.
379 - try to work around linux first breaking sched_yield and now breaking
380 the only known workaround.
381 - new option -icon to set _NET_WM_ICON (based on patch by Frank Schmitt).
382 - initialise the as visual only on demand, instead of unconditionally,
383 to save memory in the common case of not using visual gimmicks.
384 - try to work around bugs in a few wm's that erroneously resize
385 client windows on hint property updates by temporarily
386 disabling size hints.
387 - implement the DECSTR soft reset sequence and use it for tput init,
388 and make hard RIS and DECSTR both reset more private modes, such
389 as mouse reporting.
390 - redundantly clear mouse reporting and a few other states in
391 tput init/tput reset, for older urxvts.
392 - partial/full clear screens did cause flickering and possibly pixel
393 droppings when urxvt viewed the scrollback buffer.
394 - use current rendition style in DCH sequence.
395 - the 132/80 mode switch no longer forces a screen reset.
396 - add an osc sequence to change the border colour (Emanuele Giaquinta).
397 - new perl extension "overlay-osc", for status displays and the like.
398 - fix some minor cursor drawing issues with overlays by allowing
399 overlays to modify screen flags (to disable the cursor themselves).
400 - work around programs not restoring rstyle before rmcup
401 (analysed by Miroslav Lichvar).
402
4039.05 Sun Jun 15 20:09:20 CEST 2008
404 - new option --cd/chdir to set the starting working directory.
405 - tabbed extension now starts in the "correct" working directory.
406 - work around fedora 9 providing isastream but not the relevant
407 header file for it (report by Tuncer Ayaz).
408 - upgrade libev, fixing a bug in the select backend.
409 with more than 31 file descriptors on non-linux 64 bit systems.
410 - correctly reset the multibyte state to the initial one
411 after EILSEQ (patch by Neil Booth). This fixes the
412 issue of rxvt-unicode not properly displaying text after an illegal
413 sequence on NetBSD and probably other systems.
414 - more intelligent property handling with -pe tabbed, works around
415 broken window managers (kwm et al.), saves bandwidth and should
416 help working window managers as well.
417 - made tabs moveable (based on a patch by Petr Machata).
418 - implement ESC [ 3 K as a more rational alternative to ESC [ 0 K.
419 - support relative paths for RXVT_SOCKET in urxvtd.
420 - the tabbed extension now blindly copies over all (rxvt-) resources
421 from the toplevel window to the children.
422 - better diagnostic on 0x0 window geometries.
423 - update AnyEvent API to version 3.4 and above.
424 - document the default value of :0 for DISPLAY.
425 - rename perl method XChangeWindowProperty to XChangeProperty.
426

428 - the "exg makes everybody happy" release.
429 - fix build with !xft.

431
4329.01 Sat Jan 26 20:49:27 CET 2008
433 - be more aggressive about handling X events, this seems to be required
434 with newer xlibs (should fix the "screen stays black until event is
435 received" problem, again :)
436 - add buffered resource to control xft double-buffering.
437
4389.0 Fri Jan 25 19:34:04 CET 2008
439 - fix a crash bug where urxvtd would crash when urxvtc was called
440 with wrong arguments (I wish debian maintainers in general would
441 report bugs and their proposed fixes to the original package maintainers
442 instead of sitting on them for good measure to see if anybody notices).
443 - drawing xft compose characters was causing garbage to be drawn.
444 - correctly clear xft character background in all cases.
445 - implement bracketed paste mode (xterm private mode 2004).
446 - improve documentation on alpha channel handling, make urxvt
447 work better on servers lacking the RENDER extension when alpha
448 channels or background images are used.
449 - check for refresh after initialising to avoid staying blank
450 till the first event arrives. or so.
451 - the FORCE_UNBUFFERED_XFT feature macro works again.
452 - continuously update transparency while moving/resizing now.
453 - OSC 39/49 are deprecated and aliased to OSC 10/11.
454 - cub1 now acts as advertised (and ignores the "wrapped" state).
455 - the 132/80 mode switch now forces a height of 24, too, and
456 resets the terminal.
457 - scrollbar code cleanups.
458 - stopping children is no longer confused with children exiting.
459 - removed (undocumented) #aarrggbb format.
460 - updated to libev 3.0.
461
4628.9 Mon Dec 24 07:51:40 CET 2007
463 - fix the issue where urxvtd would not immediately close a window
464 when the command exited but only on the next X event.
465 - changed terminfo file not to use application keypad mode.
466 - fix the issue where making a selection in one urxvtd window
467 would not clear it visually in another.
468 - fix an issue of urxvt not getting background pixmap updates
469 and flickering after bg pixmap changes (reported by Mikachu).
470 - fix redraw bug in xterm scrollbar with -sr (reported by Mikachu).
471 - correctly provide dependencies for libev (µikachu).
472 - minor code reorganisations and cleanups.
473 - be more robust in case the urxvt-popup extension cannot be loaded.
474
4758.8 Sat Dec 15 19:40:39 CET 2007
476 - option -C was aliased to all unsupported options, activating
477 options that shouldn't be compiled in, leading to interesting
478 effects.
479 - updated libev, working around a bug in linux 2.4, curing the
480 symptom of urxvt not closing its window on shell exit. also
481 fixes a problem with urxvt not refreshing.
482 - the text blink callback was called even when no blinking
483 text was visible.
484 - pre-8.4 slipwheeling behaviour has been reinstated, with
485 some minor improvements.
486 - streamlined x events processing to only flush once per
487 display and not once per terminal window.
488 - quite a bit of minor code cleanups and codesize optimisations.
489
4908.7 Sun Nov 25 10:23:49 CET 2007
491 - update libev with an important bugfix that would cause crashes
492 when closing windows (when using rxvtd, and update is recommended).
493 - do not compile in the block builtin graphics with --disable-frills.
494
4958.6 Fri Nov 23 14:10:57 CET 2007
496 - upgrade libev to disable kqueue on anything but netbsd as it
497 seems to be broken everywhere else w.r.t. ptys.
498 - allow for spurious event notifications, as at least epoll and
499 especially solaris ports like to lie about them (symptoms:
500 urxvt "hangs" until there is some x11 related activity).
501 - -keysym command line options are now subjected to xlib parsing.
502 - add 'xrm' option analogous to Xt one.
503
5048.5a Wed Nov 21 10:16:33 CET 2007
505 - make it compile with --disable-transparency.
506
5078.5 Wed Nov 21 05:19:20 CET 2007
508 - expect major portability issues in this release: please test and report.
509 - converted from the veritable io manager event loop to
510 the high performance libev (http://software.schmorp.de/pkg/libev).
511 - minor tuning to the perl selection (include single words and more quoting chars).
512 - fix memory leak in pixmap code.
513 - fix a serious bug while setting the XIM destroy callback
514 on (typical) 64 bit systems.
515 - automove-background functionality re-implemented internally using :root op in pixmap
516 geometry string. For example: rxvt -pixmap "image.jpg;:root"
517 - do not link rxvtc against every lib on the planet anymore.
518 - parallel builds should work once more.
519
5208.4 Sat Oct 27 14:02:13 CEST 2007
521 - overhaul of the transparency/pixmap code (sasha).
522 - fix possible race between visual bell and poweron.
523 (reported by Martin von Gagern, gentoo?).
524 - urxvt -e no longer crashes the child.
525 - fixed some minor memleaks on incorrect usage or
526 missing DISPLAY.
527 - implement xterm 1002/1003 mouse tracking modes (exg).
528 - source code organisational cleanups (exg).
529 - updated io_manager.
530
5318.3 Wed Aug 1 20:21:31 CEST 2007
532 - new option: skipScroll/-ss, enabled by default.
533 - go with the times and expect x11 library files in /usr/lib, not
534 /usr/X11R6/lib.
535 - initial transparency improvement/afterimage support
536 patch by Sasha Vasko.
537 - add urgentOnBell resource to set the urgency hint
538 (patch by Philip Paeps).
539 - do not process focus events caused by grabs
540 (patch by Mikachu).
541 - add iso14755_52 resource to disable iso14755 5.2 (exg).
542 - add binding for backspace in iso14755 5.1 to remove the last
543 digit (exg).
544 - better option handling, support more than 30 options (exg).
545 - nuke reconf script, serves no purpose anymore.
546 - fixed and documented matcher/on_user_command processing in matcher
547 extension (tpope).
548 - compile out of the box on Solaris 10 (exg).
549 - fix MappingNotify events (reported by Stephan Walter).
550 - zero-initialise mwmhints, this seems to solve all sorts of minor
551 problems.
552
5538.2 Sat Feb 17 21:35:28 CET 2007
554 - fix make depend in src/, reported by exg.
555 - fixed typo in urxvt::GET_CUSTOM, causing the result to be wrong.
556 (patch by Sergey Vlasov).
557 - unbundled iom perl interface somewhat.
558 - scrollbar-xterm now uses the selected scrollColor instead of fg
559 (found by Aiviru).
560 - disabled linux kernel bug workaround again: disabling it gives
561 a 50% speed hit on affected machines, while enabling it gives
562 a similar speed hit to screen, which is likely the more common
563 case to work around for :/
564 - urxvt::rend2mask perl function, and utilization of it by matcher
565 (patch by Moshe Kamensky).
566 - use perl:matcher on a keysym to open most recently displayed URL.
567 - with matcher, when multiple patterns match, last wins, not first.
568 - fix make and make install with srcdir != builddir (exg).
569 - updated bundled libptytty to fix a bug where the tty would be kept
570 open (see the libptytty ChangeLog for details).
571 - delay setting the IUTF8 flag to after the tty settings have been
572 set so its value does not get lost (reported and analysed by Andrei
573 Paskevich).
574 - rip out support for obsolete sgtty.h interface.
575 - rip out support for non-POSIX termios variants.
576 - update libptytty.
577 - update iom.C, make it call ptytty::sanitise_stdfd on init.
578 - when !XFT, change rounding of colours to use a less correct formula to
579 meet user expectancies (#aaa becomes #a000a000a000 not #9f9f9f9f9f9f).
580 - change the starting offset of the pixmap set with backgroundPixmap
581 from (50,50) to (0,0) (exg).
582 - fix a typo in button_release, now meta-button2 request the value of
583 the Clipboard selection as it should (patch by Serge Koksharov).
584 - fix a bug in drawing a cell with a nonspacing char when using an xft
585 font with inheritPixmap and tintColor (exg).
586
5878.1 Thu Dec 7 22:27:25 CET 2006
588 - ｹﾘｽﾏｽﾌ゚ﾚｾ゙ﾝﾄ - zomg!!1, it's too early!!!
589 - fix the assumption that chars < 256 are single-width. Now
590 only assume this for codepoints 32 to 126 (reported by Dai.H.).
591 - $term->strwidth returned wide chars as width 1, because some jerk
592 confused min and max. Fixing this also fixes xim-onthespot.
593 Reported by Takano Akio.
594 - secondaryScroll is now enabled by default (as per the manpage),
595 reported by exg.
596 - correct the description of [percent]color rgba format in the manpage.
597 - incorporated macosx-clipboard extension by Samuel Ljungkvist.
598 - ignore (some) useless focus events (reported by mmc).
599 - updated compose table to unicode 5.0.0.
600
6018.0 Thu Nov 2 18:35:19 CET 2006
602 - combining characters cleared the area instead of creating an overlay,
603 thus losing the ability to draw combining characters properly in most
604 circumstances (reported by exg).
605 - specified fonts were incorrectly morphed to bold/italic according to the
606 basefont, even if explicitly specified (tracked down by tpope).
607 - fixed urxvt::strwidth to calculate width in the same way as screen.C.
608 - fix a crash caused by passing negative widths to overlay functions.
609 - added 'matcher' extension by tpope, replacing the mark-urls extension.
610 - improve url regex to match anything www.* (tpope).
611 - fixed bug with outline cursor color being wrong after xft fonts.
612 - update to libptytty-1.0.
613 - give proper diagnostic when RXVT_SOCKET is too long instead of
614 corrupting the stack (patch by exg).
615 - display current terminal locale in option menu.
616 - urxvtd no longer crashes when the client sends an inaccessible
617 working directory (reported by Roland Baer, possibly fixes gentoo
618 bug #143985).
619 - fixed many minor issues reported by Roland Baer.
620 - Leonid Khramov spotted a minor glitch in rxvtfont.C that
621 should not have any consequences, but was buggy nonetheless.
622 - manpage fix by exg.
623
6247.9 Mon Aug 7 18:16:07 CEST 2006
625 - fix the crashing bug people encountered with 7.8 + urxvtd + perl
626 + transparency. Ought to fix debian bug #380348.
627 - fix urxvtc.1.pod: it actually claimed -pty-fd would not work. But
628 it does! :->
629 - rxvt_fatal() in case the locale string is too long for our static buffer.
630 - fixed many, many, typos in the manpages (patch supplied by ves).
631
6327.8 Mon Jul 17 21:00:46 CEST 2006
633 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: this version will always read ~/.Xdefaults,
634 earlier versions only read it if display-resources (usually from
635 .Xresources) are not set. This avoids the #1 FAQ ("why isn't my
636 resource used") and seems to be logical behaviour, too. .Xdefaults
637 resources have a lower priority than display-specific resources.
638 - add "kuake" perl extension that does a similar thing to the kuake
639 terminal emulator (see man urxvtperl).
640 - use less "correct" color scaling that is compatible with libX11 and
641 Xft (avoids off-by-one colors resulting in striped backgrounds).
642 - the "depth" resource is now respected.
643 - preset the searchable-scrollback pattern with "(?i)" to default search
644 to case-insensitivity. Will automatically be cleared when typing an
645 uppercase character.
646 - add FORCE_UNBUFFERED_XFT define to features.h.
647 - re-enabled highlightcolor support with --enable-frills, based on
648 a patch by Martin Stubenschrott.
649 - double-buffered xft drawing did suffer from pixel offset issues
650 when pixmap transparency was enabled.
651 - strategically add # to the url-match regexes, as we really want to
652 match common URIs not common URLs. Reported by Aaron Griffin.
653 - moved on_osc_seq to on_osc_seq_perl and added a more
654 generic osc_seq.
655 - fix a bug causing double callback invocations when perl hooks
656 were invoked recursively.
657 - the automove-background extension now properly works when the
658 pixmap gets reset with an osc sequence (sqweek).
659 - selection-pastebin did not work properly with non-latin1-characters.
660 - apply colorUL only when the text colour is the default fg
661 (patch by Wu Fengguang).
662 - removed rxvtlib.h from the tarball, it had no reason to be there
663 (spotted by Decklin Foster).
664 - fix compiling with TRANSPARENT but !XPM_BACKGROUND, as reported
665 by omatunto_.
666 - slap in a using namespace std, might help on platforms that don't
667 follow C++ closely enough.
668 - fix mailto url regex, spotted within milliseconds by Jost Krieger.
669 - applied fade_color_update_func.patch by WU Fengguang.
670 - fix a bug where (due to an optimisation in av_delete), hiding the
671 bottom-most overlay would hide two overlays.
672
6737.7 Tue Feb 21 12:32:49 CET 2006
674 - use double-buffered drawing (xft fonts only). On many driver/hardware
675 combination this actually increases xft drawing speed, at the expense
676 of more network bandwidth and slight nausea on the side of the author.
677 - readline perl extension now requires shift-click instead of a normal
678 click, and eats the click.
679 - tabbed perl extension now supports -e.
680 - disabled graphics-exposures on the main drawing GC, report any
681 refresh bugs please.
682 - improve property handling for -pe tabbed: avoid unnecessary property
683 changes (for kde's benefit) at the expense of extra round-trips,
684 improve size hint setting.
685 - modified XIM according to a patch sent by Takano Akio that sets
686 the preedit rectangle for OverTheSpot, which helps some input methods
687 to correctly position their preedit window.
688 - un-optimise the line clearing on newly scrolled-in lines a bit: the
689 former reasoning was that any fg colour on default bg looks the same
690 in empty spaces, but that's not true when reversing (e.g. selection),
691 so also check for matching fg colours. This fixes the problem where
692 selecting newly scrolled-in lines would exhibit wrong colours.
693 - fix a bug in the perl interface causing focus in events to generate
694 focus out perl events, causing bad focus effects with -pe tabbed.
695 - fix a race resulting in a crash on exiting.
696 - fix a with --disable-xft that caused xfreecolors to be called on
697 colors never allocated, resulting in aborts (reported by Paco-Paco).
698 - resources on non-initial screens weren't refetched correctly
699 (reported by Paco-Paco).
700 - fix a bug in xcopyarea pass and _disable_ it, as it seems not to be
701 working in either rxvt-unicode nor in the original rxvt.
702 - removed undocumented -exec alias for the -e option.
703
7047.6 Fri Feb 10 08:52:36 CET 2006
