1TODO: underline cursor, simply using underline 1rxvt-unicode changelog <= google-friendly title
2TODO: better default settings for hangul: ex. 냻 2
322:32 <zrajm> I *really* like the pointerBlank feature -- though I'd like it to *only* 3TODO: event mechanism that replaces on_keyboard_command with something more scalable.
4 hide the pointer when I hit a key, never on a timeout -- I kinda 4TODO: overlays collide with the way the out-of-focus cursor is being drawn
5 expected that it would work this way if I set pointerBlankDelay to 0 but 5TODO: split perl documentation and urxvt.pm into separate files
6 that more or less turns the pointer completely off inside the urxvt 6TODO: harmonize --disable-options into position-dependent options.
7 window.. not the behaviour I expected.
822:43 <zrajm> E.g. xterm has a couple of settings for when you select using
9 tripple-clicking (entire lines). I've become quite used to
10 "xterm*cutToBeginningOfLine: off" (which causes the first line to be
11 selected only from the beginning of the word under the cursor) and
12 "xterm*cutNewline: off" (which causes xterm not to include the newline
13 character of the last line selected) -- these are especially swell when
14 I select urls (which usually occur on a line by the
15TODO: custom keymap must not "overwrite" default keymap
16TODO: do font request caching, might help rxvtd on some machines
17TODO: safer command: keymap processing.

19TODO: read property sequence is broken with respect to utf-8 etc. 8TODO: read property sequence is broken with respect to utf-8 etc.
20WISH: keyboard modification via esc-sequences. 9TODO: slow drag selection on remote display - other things seem fast (rxvt illness?)
21WISH: line-rewrapping on resize 10WISH: look into XAddConnectionWatch, does anybody need that?
22WISH: searchable backlog 11WISH: anyevent mouse notification / manage MotionMask better.
23WISH: meta-tagging of data by regex (my dream project) 12WISH: http://www120.pair.com/mccarthy/nextstep/intro.htmld/Workspace.html is the correct nextstep look.
24WISH: double-click: more intelligent (urls etc.) 13DUMB: support tex fonts
25WISH: OnTheSpot editing, or maybe switch to miiiiiiif 14
26WISH: tabbed windows (hey, just use screen...) 15TODO: option popup hook, make some exts switchable
27WISH: just for fun, do shade and tint with XRender. 16TODO: constant offste with automove
17TODO: rework colors and blabla section
18
19 - changed interpretation of [alpha] colour prefix.
20 - +option now really sets the option to default, instead of using the
21 resource value.
22 - options that require an argument now really _require_ an argument.
23 - force refresh of XA_RESOURCE_STRING on virtual reconnect.
24 - return exit status 2 in urxvtc when urxvtd couldn't be contacted.
25 - the linux yield hack is back, now using usleep, and enabled only on
26 __linux__.
27 - further round trip eliminations in the !XFT case by remembering
28 the colour components.
29 - plain scrollbar works better with -sr.
30 - fixed half-shadow scrollbar look.
31 - more colour rtt optimisations.
32 - properly(?) free colours on window close.
33 - reorganised the FAQ into multiple sections.
34 - forcing a configure event to tabbed subwindows with -pe tabbed, for
35 the benefit of automove-background.
36
377.5 Tue Jan 31 15:15:43 CET 2006
38 - further improvements to the careful mode detection, and font width
39 detection:
40 - fully double-wide fonts will now be correctly treated,
41 - overlap detection was improved.
42 - detect totally broken fonts (usually synthesized by xft).
43 - careful mode forced refresh sometimes clashed with blinking,
44 causing unnecessary screen redraws.
45 - better handling of XFT combining characters.
46 - enable antialiasing for some replacement fonts, as they
47 might get used for other encodings which really need it, later.
48 - remove spacing=100 from all default fonts, as this creates totally
49 weird spacing (5 times normal) with xft.
50 - removed iso10646 fallback, as xorgs iso10646 encoded fonts are mostly
51 broken.
52 - removed gnu unifont fallback, all combining characters are broken.
53 - replace named colours by xorg's rgb.txt equivalents, to
54 reduce round trip time on startup, and short-cut allocation
55 of rgb:rr/gg/bb for xft.
56 - short-cut allocation of rgb values in the xlib case
57 (patch by Paco-Paco).
58 - overhauled color management: smaller codesize, alpha support.
59 - support "rgba:rrrr/gggg/bbbb/aaaa" color specifications and
60 an "[alpha]" prefix.
61 - try to work around Xft and Xrender forcing everything to be 100%
62 transparent. Long Live Xft!
63 - do not include X11/Intrinsic.h anymore, directly use
64 Xlib/Xutil/Xresource directly.
65 - try to find a nearest matching color when color allocation fails
66 on a pseudocolor screen.
67 - SYNCCVS: compared to rxvt-cvs 2006-01-28, no relevant changes.
68 - fix version report (DA) (which was unfortunately broken).
69 - changed version number report again, now to emulate xterm closer.
70 - added the OSC sequence 702 to detect the urxvt version number.
71 - small configure updates.
72 - further RTT optimisations.
73
747.4 Sat Jan 28 15:26:27 CET 2006
75 - screen background wasn't always erased properly when scrolling,
76 - re-enabled clearing optimisation disabled in 7.4pre.
77 - small configure updates for libptytty.
78 - fixed version options: line output.
79 - removed stoopid debugging message left in the code.
80
817.3 Wed Jan 25 22:47:35 CET 2006
82 - don't let iso14755 or mouse reporting get into the way of perl
83 (could lead to global grabs never being cleared).
84 - experimental OnTheSpot editing support (-pe xim-onthespot).
85 - moved Shift-Button2 paste combination to Meta-Button2.
86 - the cutchars resource will now be respected and used by the
87 selection extension.
88 - added the "remote-clipboard" extension which just runs external
89 commands to fetch and store the selection data.
90 - added -depth switch that tries to get a different visual depth
91 than the default (replaces the old PREFER_24_BIT logic).
92 - removed (unused) arabic presentation form composing sequences.
93 - be more strict when deciding that a core font glyph is too wide and
94 needs the careful rendering mode.
95 - allow more leeway for italic fonts when deciding that a character is
96 too wide and needs careful mode.
97 - redraw even more characters around characters using careful mode.
98 - made selection-pastebin fully asynchronous.
99 - reduced number of server turnarounds at startup by allocating
100 atoms only once per display.
101 - renamed on_keyboard_command to on_user_command.
102 - changed version sos (ESC [ > c) response to be more compatible with
103 xterm.
104
1057.2 Sun Jan 22 21:58:16 CET 2006
106 - bugfix: urxvt (not urxvtd) did not correctly handle multiple
107 environments necessary, which resulted in segfaults within
108 getenv (reproducable: urxvt -fn 9x15, open a menu once,
109 ctrl-shift-672c).
110 - bugfix: the selection speedup in in 7.1 unfortunately caused
111 non-ascii characters to enlarge/move the selection.
112 - bugfix: resizing sometimes leaked lines from the secondary to
113 the primary screen.
114 - bugfix: reducing window size while large amounts of text were output
115 could lead to an assertion failure.
116 - added "tabbed" extension that provides a crude tabbed terminal.
117 - added "readline" extension that allows cursor positioning
118 via mouse clicks.
119 - now it is possible to insert the value of the CLIPBOARD selection
120 with shift - mouse button 2.
121 - fixed the automove-background extension to ignore coordinates
122 in non-synthetic events.
123 - created a separate libpty for portable and secure
124 pty/tty/utmp/wtmp/lastlog handling, and include it in rxvt-unicode.
125 - the non-terminfo visual bell now works asynchronously, so
126 continuous ASCI BELs in one terminal do no longer monopolise the
127 whole urxvt[d] process.
128 - support some *BSD makes (for the time being, gnu make is a safe bet).
129 - work around bugs in FreeBSD's gcc.
130 - implemented some *BSD fixes in configure.
131 - removed support for obsolete offix dnd protocol.
132
1337.1 Thu Jan 19 20:25:34 CET 2006
134 - setuid/setgid operation is now _encouraged_: security has been
135 improved by moving privileged operations into a separate process
136 and permanently dropping privileges within the terminal. This
137 makes it possible to remove security checks from the perl code
138 and gives a much safer feeling when urxvt needs to run with
139 special privileges.
140 - perl taint checking disabled, as urxvt no longer runs setuid/setgid
141 itself.
142 - new perl extension automove-background that can be used to get
143 the same effect as pseudo-transparency with any pixmap.
144 - new perl extension example: perl/selection-pastebin, can be used to
145 e.g. upload the selection to a webserver and generate a url, or
146 similar stuff.
147 - use the scrollback buffer even when the scroll region doesn't
148 span the whole screen, as long as it starts at row 0. Helps
149 for programs displaying a status line at the bottom.
150 - selection popup now shows selection in dec/hex/oct.
151 - perl/selection: matching on unicode characters in the selection
152 code was O(n²), which equals infinity in some degenerate cases
153 :-> Matching is now done on UTF-8, which makes it almost instant.
154 - perl/selection, perl/selection-autotransform: regexes are now
155 being interpreted in the locale urxvt was started.
156 - implemented override-redirect option and enabled it on menus,
157 as kwin puts our windows behind the terminal (what a shoddy wm).
158 - fixed struct utmp check in configure for OpenBSD.
159 - complete overhaul of the pty/utmp management stuff and configure
160 (Emanuele Giaquinta).
161 - add tsl/fsl and related capabilities to the terminfo description,
162 to set the window title.
163 - swap the environment in some more cases. This hopefully fixes
164 some segfaults that might be caused by xft asking for env variables
165 at the wrong time.
166 - removed src/strings.C and src/menubar.C. No menubar support
167 anymore.
168 - removed all traces of SMOOTH_REFRESH.
169 - nuked QNX support.
170 - made some fixes to xpm offset and scaling code.
171 - perl-overlays and refresh hooks were not applied in correct order.
172 - changed coordinate-system of view_start/nsaved to be top to bottom.
173 - iom extended to support listening for child exits.
174
1757.0 Fri Jan 13 14:02:18 CET 2006
176 - added sections for DISTRIBUTION MAINTAINERS and about
177 SETUID/SETGID to the FAQ.
178 - selection, searchable-scrollback, selection-popup and
179 option-popup extensions enabled by default.
180 - increased xft drawing speed for problematic fonts. The effect
181 will likely be small as 99% of the xft slowness is server-related.
182 - perl: much increased functionality, better overlays, popup support
183 and much much more.
184 - perl: urxvt::line now can set via ->t and ->r.
185 - perl: changed interpretation of --perl-ext-common and -pe.
186 - perl: finally implemented --perl-eval.
187 - perl: non-blocking anyevent support.
188 - perl: run tainted and ignore perl-eval/perl-lib if started
189 setuid/setgid.
190 - free the resource database: this plugs a massive memory leak. As a
191 side effect, it also gets rid of XGetDefault calls.
192 - free one of the cursors, fixes a small memory leak.
193 - built-in (as opposed to terminfos) visual bell was broken/too fast.
194 - applied minor cleanups by Ladislav Michnovic.
195 - applied pty handling cleanups and improvements (Emanuele Giaquinta).
196 - mark-urls launch-on-click by jepler.
197 - removed "small" resource parsing function, as it wasn't really
198 compatible, and not really small either.
199 - removed PATH_ENV and PATH file search support.
200 - removed support for locale-specific app-defaults file.
201 - fixed a bug where out-of-bounds colour sequences could lead
202 to crashes.
203 - limit colour changing to the standard 88 palette instead of all
204 colours.
205 - XTerm_Color01 sequence returned wrong results in query mode.
206 - iom.C now checks against destructed io_manager when unregistering.
207
2086.3 Wed Jan 4 22:37:10 CET 2006
209 - SECURITY FIX: on systems using openpty, permissions were
210 not correctly updated on the tty device and were left as
211 world-readable and world-writable (likely in original rxvt,
212 too), and were not restored properly. Affected are only
213 systems where non-unix ptys were used (such as most BSDs, not
214 GNU/Linux). (found, patched and debugged by Ryan Beasley).
215 - meta8 support was forcefully enabled in most configurations.
216 restored configurability of this (useless) feature (reported
217 by Mikachu).
218 - optionally embed a perl interpreter, which can be used for more
219 intelligent/customized selection support, visual feedback,
220 menus, tabs etc. See the the urxvtperl manpage, the -pe option,
221 perl*-resources and keysym resources. Not everything is there yet.
222 - try to be more clever about differing font sizes and their ascent.
223 Not guarenteed to work, but works better in most cases now.
224 - fix directory permissions on install.
225 - implemented option to disable built-in line drawing characters
226 and fall back to the font ones (patch by Martin Pohlack).
227 - disabled sched_yield support: the linux version is just too useless
228 (it schedules nice'd processes before the own one for extended
229 periods). Too bad, it could reduce system time by a factor of 5 here.
230
2316.2 Mon Jan 2 16:03:01 CET 2006
232 - implemented intensityStyles option which enables/disables bold/blink
233 selecting high intensity foreground/background colours, suggested by
234 Chuck Blake.
235 - move iso14755 character feedback box out of the way if it would
236 obscure the mouse cursor position.
237 - replaced callback.h by a fixed version from gvpe that correctly
238 returns the callback result (affects new -pty-fd semantics in urxvtc
239 on a few architectures). Reported by darix.
240 - include one trailing space in rectangular selections to indicate
241 the inserted newline (yeah, weird, but visually more pleasing).
242 - try to use sched_yield to (drastically) improve terminal data
243 transfer efficiency.
244 - further minor cleanups.
245
2466.1 Tue Dec 27 13:23:40 CET 2005
247 - update iso8859-7 table (euro and drachma round-trip et al.).
248 - fix a crash when the selection scrolls out of the scrollback
249 while the user still drags.
250 - selections that were partially scrolled out of the window were
251 not drawn correctly.
252 - lines newly scrolled in were not initialized properly, leading
253 to extremely long lines and (hopefully) some segfaults.
254 - iso14755 overlay position was wrong.
255 - iso14755 overlay now displays rendition info, too.
256 - use unicode white space class instead of hardcoded values for
257 stripping whitespace.
258 - do whitespace stripping on rectangular selections.
259 - slight cleanups in src/features.h.
260
2616.0 Sat Dec 24 13:58:56 CET 2005
262 - make it compile without SMART_RESIZE again.
263 - enable slow link support by default.
264 - fix relative cursor-positioning not respecting scrolling regions
265 (also a bug in original rxvt).
266 - initialize termios structure to zero when fetching it fails
267 (see http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=84647 for a
268 partial patch).
269 - bump max columns/rows to 10000 each.
270 - bump max savelines to 10000000.
271 - -pty-fd now passes the urxvtc fd to the urxvtd process.
272 - avoid linking against -lnsl/-lsocket/-lxpg4 unless neccessary.
273 - major code cleanup (still not complete, though).
274 - implement -hold option.
275 - _major_ rewrite of internal buffer handling:
276 - re-flow on resize, lines get wrapped instead of winged.
277 - circular line buffer (substantially speeds up scrolling).
278 - slightly less code + data memory usage per terminal.
279 - slight overall speed improvements.
280 - considerably improved code clarity.
281 - partial-screen scrolls no longer end up in the scrollback
282 buffer.
283
2845.9 Sat Dec 17 21:53:17 CET 2005
285 - fix a bug in the menu code of unknown impact, found by darix.
286 - clean up signal handling to be global, not per terminal
287 (matters only for rxvtd).
288 - fix small typoe in rxvt.1 (found by Mike Fabian).
289 - don't crash when broken xft/fontconfig/freetype versions return
290 bogus data, ignore the xft font instead (experienced on suse).
291
2925.8 Tue Oct 25 22:21:45 CEST 2005
293 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: many configure options are now on by default.
294 If you want the old behaviour, try:
295 configure --disable-everything <your enable options>
296 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: -fade changed it's meaning to comply with
297 the documentation and common sense: when upgrading, replace your
298 percentage by 100-percentage.
299 - integrated "fade to specific colour" patch by Martin Parm.
300 - slow down the internal visual bell (delay by 20ms) and update
301 the terminfo flash code to use the same delay. This is
302 synchronous, so many bells might inhibit screen updates in other
303 windows.
304 - text with background==foreground colour gets displayed with default
305 bg/fg now when in reverse video, so it can be seen when selecting.
306 - allow koi8r* as x11 encoding name for koi8r (Nikita Danilov).
307 - removed undocumented inheritPixmapforce option.
308 - replaced INSTALL file.
309
3105.7 Wed Jul 13 04:46:33 CEST 2005
311 - implement some useful (hopefully) options for rxvtd.
312 - separate and improved rxvtc(1) and rxvtd(1) manpages.
313 - fix a bug that caused segfaults on startup on systems that do
314 not support local unix connections, e.g cygwin. (btw, I didn't
315 even know about the -rootless and -multiwindow Cygwin/X modes).
316 - large amounts of text without control sequences or newlines
317 could almost freeze output. This has been fixed by adding extra
318 refreshes in these cases (also a problem in original rxvt).
319
3205.6 Sun Jun 26 22:11:13 CEST 2005
321 - R_SB_RXVT bitset value was 0, so rxvt scrollbar was initialised
322 every time resulting in display errors (original rxvt also affected).
323 Reported by Jasmin Buchert.
324 - font names are now considered to be utf-8 encoded (xft apperently
325 uses this convention. X Core fonts might not, but it should be rare).
326 Affects display in iso14755 box.
327 - rewrote the low-level xft drawing function ("xft backend" for the
328 hipper parts of the world) to hopefully cope better with proportional
329 chars mixed with fixed-width ones.
330 - rxvt is now much more careful (read: slower) with potentially
331 overlapping xft characters. It usually overshoots and redraws
332 more than required, but that's better than undershooting and
333 cutting pieces off of characters.
334 - rxvt is now more restrictive in what font heights it accepts for
335 fonts that will likely overshoot or undershoot lines.
336 - fix a cosmetic problem with the unfocused cursor on a wide character
337 at the end of the line (reported by Mikachu).
338 - wide characters not fitting into the end of the line will be
339 output in the next line (reported by Mikachu).
340 - added doc/solaris9.patch by Ewgenij Starostin.
28 341
295.5 Sat Apr 23 22:31:36 CEST 2005 3425.5 Sat Apr 23 22:31:36 CEST 2005

365.4 Mon Apr 18 00:33:31 CEST 2005 3495.4 Mon Apr 18 00:33:31 CEST 2005
