47
48TODO: https://salsa.debian.org/debian/rxvt-unicode/-/blob/master/debian/patches/18_expand_urxvt-tabbed.1.diff
49 - add support for systemd socket-based activation - debian bug #917105,
50 freebsd bug #234276.
51 - do not destruct perl on exit anymore: this might fail for a variety of
52 reasons, and takes unneccessary time.
53 - the old bg image resources are now provided by the background
54 extension, and perl is thus required for bg image support. No
55 configuration change is needed: urxvt autoloads the background
56 ext if any bg image resource/option is present (for OSC sequences to
57 work you need to enable it explicity). The old bg image
58 resources are also now deprecated; users are encouraged to
59 switch to the new bg image interface (see man urxvt-background).
60 - confirm-paste now checks for any ctlchars, not just newlines.
61 - searchable scrollback will now ignore bracketed paste mode sequences
62 (prompted by Daniel Gröber's patch).
63 - drop ISO 2022 locale support. ISO 2022 encodings are not supported in
64 POSIX locales and clash with vt100 charset emulation (the luit
65 program can be used as a substitute).
66 - perl didn't parse rgba colours specified as an array correctly,
67 only allowing 0 and 100% intensity for each component (this affected
68 fill and tint).
69 - when iterating over resources, urxvt will now try to properly handle
70 multipart resources (such as "*background.expr"), for the benefit
71 of autoloading perl extensions.
72 - ESC G (query rxvt graphics mode) has been disabled due to security
73 implications. The rxvt graphics mode was removed in rxvt-unicode 1.5,
74 and no programs relying on being able to query the mode are known.
75 - work around API change breakage in perl 5.28, based on a patch by
76 Roman Bogorodskiy.
77 - improved security: rob nation's (obsolete) graphics mode queries
78 no longer reply with linefeed in secure/default mode.
79 - ISO 8613-3 direct colour SGR sequences (patch by Fengguang Wu).
80 - xterm focus reporting mode (patch by Daniel Hahler).
81 - xterm SGR mouse mode.
82 - implement DECRQM. Patch by Přemysl Eric Janouch.
83 - add missing color index parameter to OSC 4 response. Patch
84 by Přemysl Eric Janouch.
85 - in some window managers, if smart resize was enabled, urxvt
86 erroneously moved the window on font change - awesome bug
87 #532, arch linux bug ##34807 (patch by Uli Schlachter).
88 - fix urxvtd crash when using a background expression.
89 - properly restore colors when using fading and reverse video
90 is enabled while urxvt is focused and then disabled while it
91 is not focused, or vice versa (patch by Daniel Hahler).
92 - fix high memory usage when an extension repeatedly hides and
93 shows an overlay (reported by Marcel Lautenbach).
94 - expose priv_modes member and constants to perl extensions
95 (patch by Rastislav Barlik).
96 - fix a whole slew of const sillyness, unfortunately forced upon
97 us by ISO C++.
98 - update to libecb 0x00010006.
99 - disable all thread support in ecb.h as we presumably don't need it.
100 - slightly improve Makefile source dependencies.
101 - work around bugs in newer Pod::Xhtml versions (flags incorrect formatting codes
102 in xhtml/html sections but does not interpret correct ones).
103
1049.22 Sat Jan 23 21:07:33 CET 2016
105 - NOTICE: this release updates terminfo.
106 - add terminfo capabilities for various ctrl and shift-ctrl key variants
107 (patch by Sebastian Schmidt).
108 - fix longstanding core font encoding bug where some character
109 ranges could not be mapped from unicode to the font: affected
110 encodings are big5, gb2312, iso8859-8 (hebrew), jis0201 and
111 ksc5601 (reported by Mikachu).
112 - fix crash when the number of columns is 1 and a 0 width character is inserted
113 (reported by Kuang-che Wu).
114 - fix a crash when parsing an invalid color specification (reported by Kuang-che Wu).
115 - fix a buffer overflow in font name parser (reported by Kuang-che Wu).
116 - do not start blinking cursor if the window is unfocused (reported by
117 Devin J. Pohly).
118 - change the width of underline and i-beam cursor to 2 pixels (based on
119 a patch by Omar Sandoval).
120 - add pointerShape resource to change the mouse pointer shape
121 (based on a patch by Brian Watson).
122 - a keysym resource for a key which is already bound to an
123 action now properly rebinds the key.
124 - do not report mouse motion events if Shift is active (patch by Daniel Hahler).
125 - put the alpha component last in responses to OSC color queries
126 (patch by Benjamin Herr).
127 - the key_press hook is now invoked before processing the
128 event, as documented. This change was done in 9.21 but not
129 announced and fixes debian bugs #511377, #531751 and red hat
130 bug #1105069. Note that this change breaks a few scripts,
131 such as mark-yank-urls, which rely on the previous buggy
132 behaviour that urxvt processes the event (in particular
133 keysym bindings) before invoking the hook.
134 - the tabbed extension now properly refreshes the active tab
135 on a key press when the mouse pointer is outside the terminal
136 window.
137 - add 'lookup_keysym' perl method to lookup the action bound
138 to a key combination.
139 - a key combination bound to 'matcher:select' can now be used
140 to cycle through the matches in matcher.
141 - change perl integer accessors (->width et al.) into mutators.
142
1439.21 Wed Dec 31 14:50:03 CET 2014
144 - the "moa redraw 8-bit british vintage colour management" release.
145 - NOTICE: this release updates terminfo.
146 - fix pixel droppings on overdraw when a secondary core font has the
147 same height but different ascent.
148 - implement cvvis in terminfo as blinking cursor, to distinguish it
149 from cnorm (emacs uses cvvis which is commonly a blinking cursor).
150 - when xft support was compiled in, colour queries erroneously returned
151 premultiplied values, this also affected internal queries, for example
152 when calculating faded colour. alpha is now divided out when possible,
153 which is more correct but loses colour resolution.
154 - add DECSCUSR xterm extension to set the cursor to a vertical bar.
155 - add 'extension:string' action, and associated on_action perl
156 hook, for keysym resources that invokes actions provided by
157 perl extensions. The 'perl:string' action and
158 on_user_command hook are deprecated but still supported.
159 - add 'builtin-string' action for keysym resources that restores string
160 mappings for keys that have predefined actions in urxvt.
161 - add -k option to urxvtc for killing the daemon process.
162 - document urxvtd's -e/--eval option that was implemented in 9.16,
163 but not documented.
164 - add -dockapp option to make the wm treat urxvt as a dockapp.
165 - add -mc option and multiClickTime resource to set the maximum time
166 between multi-click select events (patch by Joe Peterson).
167 - new 'eval' extension to evaluate arbitrary perl code with keysym
168 bindings. The extension also provides methods that implement basic
169 actions, such as pasting selections and scrolling.
170 - the macosx-clipboard and macosx-clipboard-native extensions have been removed.
171 - kuake extension now uses the kuake.hotkey resource to specify the hotkey.
172 - new 'matcher:select' mode of matcher to iterate over the matches with the keyboard.
173 - the 'matcher:list' feature of matcher now honours the launcher
174 associated to a matched pattern.
175 - speed-up matcher underlining on very long lines (reported by Edward Z. Yang).
176 - fix up/down commands of searchable-scrollback so that they always move
177 to the previous/next logical line with a match, if any.
178 - searchable-scrollback resource has been deprecated (use keysym instead).
179 - extension parameter passing is deprecated (use resource mechanism instead).
180 - upgrade to GPLv3 (see COPYING).
181 - compile out of the box on Solaris 10, again.
182 - fix height and position of the stippled area in next scrollbar (patch
183 by Thomas Otto).
184 - fix off-by-one bug causing the iso14755 window not to jump out of the
185 way properly.
186 - fix crash that may happen if a lib to which urxvt is linked to calls setenv.
187 - fix memory leak in special_{encode,decode} perl methods.
188 - fix refresh bug that occurs when reverse video is set on a cell
189 containing a space and with the same bg and fg colour, red hat bug
190 #830236.
191 - fix crash that may happen if an x error is received after a terminal
192 window/popup has been destroyed already.
193 - removed superfluous 0 digit from sgr terminfo sequence.
194 - greatly improve colour allocation on colour-starved pseudocolour
195 displays to avoid read-write cells instead of simply failing
196 (this is only relevant for antique 8bpp frame buffers).
197 - do not free fade colours when not doing fading (this is likely
198 only relevant for antique 8bpp frame buffers).
199 - do not specialcase 2 or 4 colour visuals, leading to
200 simpler and actually more correct code.
201 - hopefully no longer leak colours on !truecolour visuals.
202 - use consistent method names (scr_recolour => scr_recolor).
203 - use simpler (but slightly less bogus) formula for nearest
204 colour choice (this is likely only relevant for antique 8bpp
205 frame buffers).
206 - remove fallback behaviour when initialising colours - the
207 behaviour was inconsistent between startup vs. later and
208 was only effective when valid colours couldn't be allocated.
209
2109.20 Sat Apr 26 16:22:27 CEST 2014
211 - (libptytty) fix bug that prevented urxvtd from writing utmp
212 entries when using --fork (reported by Ryan Kavanagh).
213 - security bugfix: window property values could be queried even
214 in secure mode (reported by Conor McCarthy).
215 - fix build when perl is enabled and fading is disabled.
216 - fix regression that broke continuous scrolling when pressing
217 and holding the scrollbar up or down button, gentoo bug #493992.
218 - increase the maximum length of a command sequence to 32k bytes,
219 to allow longer OSC sequences (previous limit was 2k).
220 - new Ctrl-Meta-c and Ctrl-Meta-v bindings to interact with
221 the CLIPBOARD selection.
222 - new extension: selection-to-clipboard.
223 - the extensions macosx-clipboard and macosx-clipboard-native
224 are deprecated and will be removed in the next release.
225 Support for the clipboard on OS X can be more generally
226 enabled by setting the XQuartz preference to sync the OS X
227 pasteboard and the X11 clipboard.
228
2299.19 Sun Oct 27 17:16:07 CET 2013
230 - work around perl 5.18.0 breakage in tabbed extension
231 (reported by Karol Blazewicz) and in pod (Dominic Hargreaves).
232 - fix regression that caused the double-click word selection to
233 erroneously include a tab on the left of the selected word.
234 - implement FOCUS variable and focus_fade function in background
235 expression, to allow focus-sensitive background images.
236 - add support for the set cursor style (DECSCUSR) control
237 function.
238 - honour cursorColor also when the cursor style is underline.
239 - export some Color_xxx constants to Perl.
240
2419.18 Sun Mar 24 15:33:35 CET 2013
242 - fix regression that caused artifacts on resize.
243
2449.17 Fri Mar 1 13:46:08 CET 2013
245 - add shade operator in background perl extension.
246 - avoid starting or ending the selection in the middle of wide
247 characters to avoid artifacts (reported by Tiago Resende).
248 - fix artifacts that may occur if the character in the cursor
249 cell has width > 1 (reported by Tiago Resende).
250 - fix regression that causes artifacts on scrolling if
251 saveLines is 0 and the window is resized (reported by Bert
252 Münnich).
253 - fix build when perl is enabled and pixbuf and transparency
254 are disabled.
255
2569.16 Thu Dec 27 11:56:43 CET 2012
257 - the "so much new stuff your eyes will pop out" release.
258 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: renamed urlLauncher resource to url-launcher.
259 - fix processing of DEC private mode save sequences (patch by Patrick
260 Hemmer).
261 - perl extensions now have their own manpages, installed as urxvt-NAME(1),
262 e.g. urxvt-background(1) - see urxvt-extensions(1) for a list.
263 - fix disabling of cursor blink with the option-popup menu (based on a
264 patch by Jan Larres).
265 - the font height is not augmented anymore when lineSpace is non zero.
266 - fix "new pagemap" vs. "delete pagemap" mismatch ([] vs. non-[]),
267 as diagnosed by clang.
268 - fix height mismatch between active and inactive cursor when
269 lineSpace is non zero (patch by Stanislav Seletskiy).
270 - make it compile with LOCAL_X_IS_UNIX again (reported by
271 nickfailure@gmail.com).
272 - completely redone background pixmap support - users can now
273 specify arbitrary expressions (And programs) that calculate
274 new terminal backgrounds. see the urxvt-background manpage
275 for details.
276 - xrender is now required for background pixmap support.
277 - perl extensions can now provide commandline switches and resources
278 which show up in -help etc.
279 - iso14755 51 mode window now displays row and column.
280 - implement a -visual switch and move that and -depth to frills, also
281 warn when we can't get the requested visual.
282 - new env variable: RXVT_PERL_LIB.
283 - allocate all screen memory in one go and let the virtual memory
284 subsystem sort it out. this simplifies code, improves access
285 locality, saves a bit of ram and makes things a bit faster, too.
286 - remove support for libafterimage.
287 - update to CVS version of libev, for a whopping 11kb size decrease.
288 - do not ship yet another copy of ecb.h, use the one in libev or
289 libptytty instead.
290 - selectively mark some methods as cache-hot/cache cold, which
291 might speed up execution but definitely decreases codesize.
292 - Fix regression that prevented the scrollbar trough color
293 from being applied (reported by Derek B. Noonburg).
294 - Fix the scrollbar size for rxvt style (patch by Mark Robinson).
295
2969.15 Sat Jan 21 13:36:56 CET 2012
297 - remove "using namespace std" because clang erroneously
298 thinks thats an error.
299 - finding a matching font (e.g. bold version of the base font)
300 was broken (reported by Eamon Walker).
301 - fix parsing of bg image styles. They really work now.
302 - fix blurring of bg image borders when using xrender.
303 - fix xrender blur on common xrender implementations that do
304 not behave correctly when the same pixmap is used as source
305 and destination in composite operations.
306 - fix regression that caused tabbed to compute the wrong size
307 for tabs.
308 - allow again an empty suffix in a keysym list spec (patch by
309 Sung Pae).
310 - unsupported support for sun studio's CC added.
311 - fix -C option on solaris.
312
3139.14 Wed Dec 21 18:40:33 CET 2011
314 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: the urxvtd default socket path is now
315 $HOME/.urxvt/urxvtd-<nodename>.
316 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: the "list" keysym expansion now requires
317 loading of the "keysym-list" perl extension.
318 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: A scale value of 0 in the bg image
319 geometry no longer enables tiling, so as to make it possible
320 to disable both scaling and tiling.
321 - overhaul of the bg image operations. The old operations have
322 been deprecated in favour of elementary operations and
323 styles built on top of the new operations and scale/position
324 settings. (Emanuele Giaquinta).
325 - support for libafterimage is deprecated and will be removed
326 in the next release.
327 - fix a crash caused by selection_check not properly resetting
328 out-of-bounds mark values (can happen when extending a selection
329 while scrolling up in curses programs for example).
330 - do not move the selection when scrolling up and the selection is
331 outside the scrolling region (Emanuele Giaquinta).
332 - fix display of bold bright black (reported by Ben Winslow).
333 - fix memory leak when urgentOnBell is set (patch by Nathaniel
334 Filardo).
335 - fix a redraw bug that occurs when a bg pixmap is set and the
336 wm does not honour the size hints set by urxvt. Now urxvt
337 forces the size of the terminal window to be a multiple of
338 the cell size.
339 - sanitise the argument of SD / SU sequences. Fixes a possible
340 crash when the argument is big enough, red hat bug #711137
341 (Emanuele Giaquinta).
342 - correctly split long lines when scrolling.
343 - urxvt now looks for perl extensions also in $HOME/.urxvt/ext.
344 - add bell-command perl extension to execute a command when a
345 bell event occurs (Ryan Kavanagh).
346 - add set_urgency perl binding to set/reset the urgency hint.
347 - consume button release event in matcher (exg).
348 - keyboard accessible list of recent matches in matcher
349 (Bob Farrell).
350 - properly process 'keysym' sequences in tabbed when using
351 'focus follows mouse' and the focus is on the main window
352 but not on the active terminal window (patch by Martin
353 Pohlack).
354 - support for the freedesktop startup-notification protocol (patch by
355 Michael Stapelberg).
356 - the direction of VPR and VPB commands was reversed.
357 - fix alignment of inherited root pixmap when it is a different size
358 than the root window and the terminal window is off the left or top
359 edge (Mikachu).
360 - make $self visible in "eval perl expression" popup action, also
361 handle exceptions better.
362 - fix parsing of '-e' when it occurs as an option argument, such as in
363 'urxvt -title -e' (Emanuele Giaquinta).
364
3659.12 Wed Jun 29 14:34:28 CEST 2011
366 - fix regression in processing of SelectionNotify events.
367 urxvt would fail to request a selection if the owner did not
368 support the UTF8_STRING target.
369 - fix rendering of double width chars in certain circumstances, more
370 likely to happen if urxvt is compiled with 256 colors support as
371 urxvt runs out of fonts much earlier then. Fixes gentoo bug #358151
372 (Emanuele Giaquinta).
373 - restore support for 'list' syntax in keysym resources (requested by Sung Pae).
374 - always premultiply colour values - while this increases differences between
375 core fonts and xft, it is "more correct" in practical situations.
376 - disable PTYTTY_REENTRANT option - not needed for urxvt and saves a bit of code.
377 - remove lucidatypewriter from the list of fallback fonts, it was the only
378 non-xft non-cellfont in the list anyway.
379
3809.11 Mon May 2 10:34:46 CEST 2011
381 - fix compilation on GNU/Hurd, debian bug #624736.
382 - remove 'list' syntax for keysym resources, as it serves no useful purpose.
383 If you need it, poke us and provide a use case.
384 - fix alpha channel support. Premultiply alpha in colours if the visual
385 supports an alpha channel, as xrender expects premultiplied alpha
386 (Emanuele Giaquinta).
387 - fix reply to a selection request sent by an obsolete client
388 such as syncterm (patch by Marcin Cieslak).
389 - fix crash when the window is resized and the overlay is active
390 (Emanuele Giaquinta, reported by Ryan Kavanagh).
391 - match character-wise rather than byte-wise in selection
392 extension again. perl 5.8.9+ is required to avoid extreme
393 slowdowns. Fixes debian bugs #523072, #616463.
394 - fix a possible crash if the INCR transfer process for a
395 selection property timeouts and at least one chunk is
396 received. (Emanuele Giaquinta)
397 - work around a memory corruption bug in xorg's XrmSetDatabase (apparently
398 broken since http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/xorg-commit-diffs/2004-March/000239.html).
399 - fix memory corruption bug when custom command sequences bound to keys
400 were injected into an already-full pty input buffer.
401 - gdk-pixbuf is autodetected by default and preferred over libafterimage.
402 - do not prepend a newline to the selection text when the starting line
403 of the selection is not highlighted (Emanuele Giaquinta).
404 - don't swap perl env with real env, save and restore it, just in case
405 we ever get recursive perl invocations. also saves a bit of codespace
406 with gcc.
407 - fix various memory leaks (Emanuele Giaquinta).
408 - fix typo in kIC terminfo capability, debian bug #446444.
409 - document 'thickness' resource.
410 - fix debian bug #504817, to the extent possible.
411 - try to detect byte order at compile time, saves a couple of
412 hundred bytes, if your compiler is smart enough.
413 - add support for previewing the pasted data in confirm-paste
414 (Emanuele Giaquinta).
415 - added "newlines to spaces" option in selection-popup.
416 - actually enabled solaris event ports backend (was disabled by accident).
417 - revert to 38400 baud max., mission accomplished.
418 - no longer create scary "pty_fill: PLEASE REPORT" message, instead,
419 silently drain the input (problem is well understood now).
420 - no longer swallow rob nation's own graphics mode commands.
421
4229.10 Mon Dec 13 17:43:52 CET 2010
423 - the "schmorp=north korea dickey=south korea" release.
424 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: make OSC 20 simpler and more correct
425 (Emanuele Giaquinta).
426 - if options were compiled out, this could lead to the option
427 count to be defined wrongly. This is likely behind the
428 failures with gcc 4.5.
429 - explicitly depend on fontconfig and xrender when xft support
430 is enabled. Although the public Xft api uses types from
431 both, in Xft 2.2.0 these libs are private
432 dependencies only thanks to an idiotic behaviour of
433 pkg-config that was added to workaround cases like this one.
434 Fixes linking when using GNU ld with --as-needed or GNU gold
435 (based on patch by Jan Palus).
436 - fix minor memory leaks in urxvt and urxvtd.
437 - fix regression in urxvtd that prevented options from being correctly
438 set (reported by Michal Vaner).
439 - implement xterm's horribly broken 1005 mouse reporting mode,
440 and an alternative 1015 mode that works in non-utf-8 locales
441 and has fewer limitations.
442 - fix a possible bug where mouse notifications didn't work after
443 startup for the upper left corner.
444 - implement our own pixbuf to pixmap rendering to get rid of
445 dependency on buggy gdk-pixbuf-xlib. Only truecolor visuals
446 are supported (Emanuele Giaquinta).
447 - apply tinting before shading when both operations are requested.
448 Previously they were intermixed when lightening and the result
449 was inaccurate and confusing. Note that now a black tint yields a
450 completely black image, regardless of shading (Emanuele Giaquinta).
451 - avoid spurious redraws of the bg image when bg is transparent or
452 when using 'root' mode (Emanuele Giaquinta).
453 - fix build on XFree86.
454 - dynamically number options according to compiletime requirements.
455 For the extra saved byte. Or so. Yay.
456 - start options at one, not zero. Wastes a bit per terminal. Maybe.
457 saves 50 instruction bytes. Possibly.
458
4599.09 Sat Nov 13 01:39:07 CET 2010

472 - fix utmpx detection on upcoming FreeBSD 9.
473 - Use COMPOUND_TEXT encoding for WM_NAME/WM_ICON_NAME value when it
474 is not fully convertible to STRING (patch by James Cloos).
475 - fix a buffer overflow that would cause wrong key sequences to
476 be generated for numpad keys (introduced in 9.05).
477 - fix definition of sgr0 to work around limitations in luit.
478 - extend ISO 14755 5.4 mode to also print the font name of the
479 characters other than first one in the selected cell
480 (Emanuele Giaquinta).
481 - new iso14755 option to disable ISO 14755 at runtime
482 (Emanuele Giaquinta).
483 - make sure pagewise scrolling scrolls at least one line
484 (found by Mikachu).
485 - remove deprecated OSC 18 / 19 and make OSC 17 / 19 apply to
486 highlightColor / highlightTextColor (Emanuele Giaquinta).
487 - add highlightTextColor resource to change the foreground colour of
488 highlighted characters (Emanuele Giaquinta).
489 - make highlightColor apply also to selected cells with reverse video
490 but not to non selected cells with reverse video (Emanuele Giaquinta).
491 - remove colorRV resource (it was enabled only with frills off).
492 - fix numlock handling, the most longstanding bug to date (Emanuele Giaquinta).
493 - reduce the number of custom bits to 4, to make room
494 for 256 colours.
495 - add support for 256 colors (Emanuele Giaquinta, Marc Lehmann).
496 - add rxvt-unicode-256color terminfo and use it by default in 256 colors mode.
497 - update rxvt-unicode terminfo to state 7744 colour pairs to cover all
498 88*88 possible pairs.
499 - actually added macosx-clipboard-native, which should have been in
500 the 9.07 release but had been forgotten.
501 - fix hang if DECAWM is not set and there are not enough columns to insert a
502 character (Emanuele Giaquinta).
503 - cub1 ("backspace") will now respect wrapping when past the rightmost column,
504 working around a shortcoming of most tty line discipline's line editing.
505 - add support for grabbing the clipboard selection and extend
506 selection{_clear,_grab,} perl bindings to optionally work
507 on the clipboard selection (based on patch by Dana Jansens).
508 - no longer force CERASE to BACKSPACE - use the system default. affects
509 default value for VERASE only when no compatible setting for
510 backspacekey was given.
511 - use higher than 38400 baudrate setting, if detected.
512 - erase screen would clear to the wrong background when blinking
513 was enabled (which selects high intensity under some circumstances).
514 - scr_kill_char didn't touch the line.
515 - upgrade and port to libev-4.01.
516 - enabled solaris event ports and kqueue backends (if available).
517
5189.07 Wed Dec 30 07:07:18 CET 2009
519 - port to glibc-2.10 changes (strchr etc. returning const char *
520 in C++), based on patches by Milos Jakubicek and Oliver Mader.
521 - the binary search algorithm to find precomposed characters
522 was faulty, skipping some possible combinations (found by
523 Mikachu).
524 - new -letterspace option, patch by Mark H. Wilkinson.
525 - enable --mlock option for urxvt with frills on
526 systems supporting it (patch by Russell Harmon).
527 - urxvt did not compile without frills enabled
528 (analysed by Matthew Rosewarne).
529 - correctly reset the mbstate after an illegal
530 input sequence when handling terminal output (Emanuele Giaquinta).
531 - avoid redrawing wide characters with combining enabled on every
532 refresh (reported by Mikachu).
533 - fix a typo preventing the ISO-646.1991 character set from being
534 recognized (http://achurch.org/patch-pile/).
535 - better warning for x11 font encoding detection failures, also,
536 try to deduce encoding from both font properties and name
537 (adapted from http://achurch.org/patch-pile/).
538 - resizing the window with the scrollbar disabled via the escapes
539 sequence could make the window bigger again (Mikachu).
540 - make sure the alignment for fd passing control messages
541 is correct and work around some NetBSD issues (Taylor R Campbell).
542 - update to libptytty 1.3.
543 - replace macosx-clipboard by a nicer version by Reza Jelveh, and move
544 the old version to macosx-clipboard-native.
545 - document the -uc option (Emanuele Giaquinta).
546 - assertions in libev are now enabled depending on frills.
547 - update AnyEvent implementation to version 5.23 API.
548 - work around arrogant bsd idiocies again: netbsd spills the default
549 namespace with lots of symbols "for gnu/gcc compatibility" even
550 though neither of them does it, and then calls the rest of the world
551 in need of fixing. go figure.
552 - on_keyboard_command is on_user_command (patch by Michael Witten).
553 - setting the selection from perl will now reset the selection screen
554 to the current screen. the screen can be manipulated using
555 the new ->selection_screen method.
556 - implement --enable-assert configure option and get rid of DEBUG_STRICT
557 (based on patch by Emanuele Giaquinta).

559 - allow `xxx' quoting style for perl selection.
560 - upgrade to libev-3.9 prerelease.

564 - NOTICE: this release updates terminfo/termcap.
565 - updates libev to 3.48.
566 - the aterm code now frees the as visual and image manager objects
567 when a window was closed.
568 - do not (wrongly) adjust the virtual line length inside
569 scr_insdel_chars/ERASE (Miroslav Lichvar).
570 - fix an issue where wide tab characters caused character shifts
571 when part of them was deleted (tracked down by Miroslav Lichvar).
572 - artificially enlargen the previous character at the end of a line
573 when trying to output a character that doesn't fit. looks ugly, but
574 makes copy&paste work.
575 - remove bogus "setuid/setgid security issues" from rxvt.1.pod, they
576 no longer apply.
577 - the urgency hint is now cleared on both focus in and focus out.
578 - cache urgency hint locally to avoid server rtt on every focus change.
579 - perl 5.10 needs PERL_SYS_INIT3 on hppa.
580 - ignore byte-order marks and do not treat them like combining characters.
581 - fix build issue when CURSOR_BLINK is not defined (Emanuele Giaquinta).
582 - do some µ-optimisations to the character fast path.
583 - use a less cunning, but more robust algorithm to avoid one terminal
584 monopolising the whole process by outputting a lot of text.
585 - try to work around linux first breaking sched_yield and now breaking
586 the only known workaround.
587 - new option -icon to set _NET_WM_ICON (based on patch by Frank Schmitt).
588 - initialise the as visual only on demand, instead of unconditionally,
589 to save memory in the common case of not using visual gimmicks.
590 - try to work around bugs in a few wm's that erroneously resize
591 client windows on hint property updates by temporarily
592 disabling size hints.
593 - implement the DECSTR soft reset sequence and use it for tput init,
594 and make hard RIS and DECSTR both reset more private modes, such
595 as mouse reporting.
596 - redundantly clear mouse reporting and a few other states in
597 tput init/tput reset, for older urxvts.
598 - partial/full clear screens did cause flickering and possibly pixel
599 droppings when urxvt viewed the scrollback buffer.
600 - use current rendition style in DCH sequence.
601 - the 132/80 mode switch no longer forces a screen reset.
602 - add an osc sequence to change the border colour (Emanuele Giaquinta).
603 - new perl extension "overlay-osc", for status displays and the like.
604 - fix some minor cursor drawing issues with overlays by allowing
605 overlays to modify screen flags (to disable the cursor themselves).
606 - work around programs not restoring rstyle before rmcup
607 (analysed by Miroslav Lichvar).
608
6099.05 Sun Jun 15 20:09:20 CEST 2008
610 - new option --cd/chdir to set the starting working directory.
611 - tabbed extension now starts in the "correct" working directory.

615 with more than 31 file descriptors on non-linux 64 bit systems.
616 - correctly reset the multibyte state to the initial one
617 after EILSEQ (patch by Neil Booth). This fixes the
618 issue of rxvt-unicode not properly displaying text after an illegal
619 sequence on NetBSD and probably other systems.
620 - more intelligent property handling with -pe tabbed, works around
621 broken window managers (kwm et al.), saves bandwidth and should
622 help working window managers as well.
623 - made tabs moveable (based on a patch by Petr Machata).
624 - implement ESC [ 3 K as a more rational alternative to ESC [ 0 K.
625 - support relative paths for RXVT_SOCKET in urxvtd.
626 - the tabbed extension now blindly copies over all (rxvt-) resources
627 from the toplevel window to the children.
628 - better diagnostic on 0x0 window geometries.
629 - update AnyEvent API to version 3.4 and above.
630 - document the default value of :0 for DISPLAY.
631 - rename perl method XChangeWindowProperty to XChangeProperty.
632
6339.02 Tue Jan 29 11:58:36 CET 2008
634 - the "exg makes everybody happy" release.
635 - fix build with !xft.
636 - always compile in plain style scrollbar (simplifies code and looks great).
637
6389.01 Sat Jan 26 20:49:27 CET 2008
639 - be more aggressive about handling X events, this seems to be required
640 with newer xlibs (should fix the "screen stays black until event is
641 received" problem, again :)
642 - add buffered resource to control xft double-buffering.
643
6449.0 Fri Jan 25 19:34:04 CET 2008
645 - fix a crash bug where urxvtd would crash when urxvtc was called
646 with wrong arguments (I wish debian maintainers in general would
647 report bugs and their proposed fixes to the original package maintainers
648 instead of sitting on them for good measure to see if anybody notices).
649 - drawing xft compose characters was causing garbage to be drawn.
650 - correctly clear xft character background in all cases.
651 - implement bracketed paste mode (xterm private mode 2004).
652 - improve documentation on alpha channel handling, make urxvt
653 work better on servers lacking the RENDER extension when alpha
654 channels or background images are used.
655 - check for refresh after initialising to avoid staying blank
656 till the first event arrives. or so.
657 - the FORCE_UNBUFFERED_XFT feature macro works again.
658 - continuously update transparency while moving/resizing now.
659 - OSC 39/49 are deprecated and aliased to OSC 10/11.
660 - cub1 now acts as advertised (and ignores the "wrapped" state).
661 - the 132/80 mode switch now forces a height of 24, too, and
662 resets the terminal.
663 - scrollbar code cleanups.
664 - stopping children is no longer confused with children exiting.
665 - removed (undocumented) #aarrggbb format.
666 - updated to libev 3.0.
667
6688.9 Mon Dec 24 07:51:40 CET 2007
669 - fix the issue where urxvtd would not immediately close a window
670 when the command exited but only on the next X event.
671 - changed terminfo file not to use application keypad mode.
672 - fix the issue where making a selection in one urxvtd window
673 would not clear it visually in another.
674 - fix an issue of urxvt not getting background pixmap updates
675 and flickering after bg pixmap changes (reported by Mikachu).
676 - fix redraw bug in xterm scrollbar with -sr (reported by Mikachu).
677 - correctly provide dependencies for libev (µikachu).
678 - minor code reorganisations and cleanups.
679 - be more robust in case the urxvt-popup extension cannot be loaded.
680
6818.8 Sat Dec 15 19:40:39 CET 2007
682 - option -C was aliased to all unsupported options, activating
683 options that shouldn't be compiled in, leading to interesting
684 effects.
685 - updated libev, working around a bug in linux 2.4, curing the
686 symptom of urxvt not closing its window on shell exit. also
687 fixes a problem with urxvt not refreshing.
688 - the text blink callback was called even when no blinking
689 text was visible.
690 - pre-8.4 slipwheeling behaviour has been reinstated, with
691 some minor improvements.
692 - streamlined x events processing to only flush once per
693 display and not once per terminal window.
694 - quite a bit of minor code cleanups and codesize optimisations.
695
6968.7 Sun Nov 25 10:23:49 CET 2007
697 - update libev with an important bugfix that would cause crashes
698 when closing windows (when using rxvtd, and update is recommended).
699 - do not compile in the block builtin graphics with --disable-frills.
700
7018.6 Fri Nov 23 14:10:57 CET 2007
702 - upgrade libev to disable kqueue on anything but netbsd as it
703 seems to be broken everywhere else w.r.t. ptys.
704 - allow for spurious event notifications, as at least epoll and
705 especially solaris ports like to lie about them (symptoms:
706 urxvt "hangs" until there is some x11 related activity).
707 - -keysym command line options are now subjected to xlib parsing.
708 - add 'xrm' option analogous to Xt one.
709
7108.5a Wed Nov 21 10:16:33 CET 2007
711 - make it compile with --disable-transparency.
712
7138.5 Wed Nov 21 05:19:20 CET 2007
714 - expect major portability issues in this release: please test and report.
715 - converted from the veritable io manager event loop to
716 the high performance libev (http://software.schmorp.de/pkg/libev).
717 - minor tuning to the perl selection (include single words and more quoting chars).
718 - fix memory leak in pixmap code.
719 - fix a serious bug while setting the XIM destroy callback
720 on (typical) 64 bit systems.
721 - automove-background functionality re-implemented internally using :root op in pixmap
722 geometry string. For example: rxvt -pixmap "image.jpg;:root"
723 - do not link rxvtc against every lib on the planet anymore.
724 - parallel builds should work once more.
725
7268.4 Sat Oct 27 14:02:13 CEST 2007
727 - overhaul of the transparency/pixmap code (sasha).
728 - fix possible race between visual bell and poweron.
729 (reported by Martin von Gagern, gentoo?).
730 - urxvt -e no longer crashes the child.
731 - fixed some minor memleaks on incorrect usage or
732 missing DISPLAY.
733 - implement xterm 1002/1003 mouse tracking modes (exg).
734 - source code organisational cleanups (exg).
735 - updated io_manager.
736
7378.3 Wed Aug 1 20:21:31 CEST 2007
738 - new option: skipScroll/-ss, enabled by default.
739 - go with the times and expect x11 library files in /usr/lib, not
740 /usr/X11R6/lib.
741 - initial transparency improvement/afterimage support
742 patch by Sasha Vasko.
743 - add urgentOnBell resource to set the urgency hint
744 (patch by Philip Paeps).
745 - do not process focus events caused by grabs
746 (patch by Mikachu).
747 - add iso14755_52 resource to disable iso14755 5.2 (exg).
748 - add binding for backspace in iso14755 5.1 to remove the last
749 digit (exg).
750 - better option handling, support more than 30 options (exg).
751 - nuke reconf script, serves no purpose anymore.
752 - fixed and documented matcher/on_user_command processing in matcher
753 extension (tpope).
754 - compile out of the box on Solaris 10 (exg).
755 - fix MappingNotify events (reported by Stephan Walter).
756 - zero-initialise mwmhints, this seems to solve all sorts of minor
757 problems.
758
7598.2 Sat Feb 17 21:35:28 CET 2007
760 - fix make depend in src/, reported by exg.
761 - fixed typo in urxvt::GET_CUSTOM, causing the result to be wrong.
762 (patch by Sergey Vlasov).
763 - unbundled iom perl interface somewhat.
764 - scrollbar-xterm now uses the selected scrollColor instead of fg
765 (found by Aiviru).
766 - disabled linux kernel bug workaround again: disabling it gives
767 a 50% speed hit on affected machines, while enabling it gives
768 a similar speed hit to screen, which is likely the more common
769 case to work around for :/
770 - urxvt::rend2mask perl function, and utilization of it by matcher
771 (patch by Moshe Kamensky).
772 - use perl:matcher on a keysym to open most recently displayed URL.
773 - with matcher, when multiple patterns match, last wins, not first.
774 - fix make and make install with srcdir != builddir (exg).
775 - updated bundled libptytty to fix a bug where the tty would be kept
776 open (see the libptytty ChangeLog for details).
777 - delay setting the IUTF8 flag to after the tty settings have been
778 set so its value does not get lost (reported and analysed by Andrei
779 Paskevich).
780 - rip out support for obsolete sgtty.h interface.
781 - rip out support for non-POSIX termios variants.
782 - update libptytty.
783 - update iom.C, make it call ptytty::sanitise_stdfd on init.
784 - when !XFT, change rounding of colours to use a less correct formula to
785 meet user expectancies (#aaa becomes #a000a000a000 not #9f9f9f9f9f9f).
786 - change the starting offset of the pixmap set with backgroundPixmap
787 from (50,50) to (0,0) (exg).
788 - fix a typo in button_release, now meta-button2 request the value of
789 the Clipboard selection as it should (patch by Serge Koksharov).
790 - fix a bug in drawing a cell with a nonspacing char when using an xft
791 font with inheritPixmap and tintColor (exg).
792
7938.1 Thu Dec 7 22:27:25 CET 2006
794 - ケリスマスプレゼント - zomg!!1, it's too early!!!
795 - fix the assumption that chars < 256 are single-width. Now
796 only assume this for codepoints 32 to 126 (reported by Dai.H.).
797 - $term->strwidth returned wide chars as width 1, because some jerk
798 confused min and max. Fixing this also fixes xim-onthespot.
799 Reported by Takano Akio.
800 - secondaryScroll is now enabled by default (as per the manpage),
801 reported by exg.
802 - correct the description of [percent]color rgba format in the manpage.
803 - incorporated macosx-clipboard extension by Samuel Ljungkvist.
804 - ignore (some) useless focus events (reported by mmc).
805 - updated compose table to unicode 5.0.0.
806
8078.0 Thu Nov 2 18:35:19 CET 2006
808 - combining characters cleared the area instead of creating an overlay,
809 thus losing the ability to draw combining characters properly in most
810 circumstances (reported by exg).
811 - specified fonts were incorrectly morphed to bold/italic according to the
812 basefont, even if explicitly specified (tracked down by tpope).
813 - fixed urxvt::strwidth to calculate width in the same way as screen.C.
814 - fix a crash caused by passing negative widths to overlay functions.
815 - added 'matcher' extension by tpope, replacing the mark-urls extension.
816 - improve url regex to match anything www.* (tpope).
817 - fixed bug with outline cursor color being wrong after xft fonts.
818 - update to libptytty-1.0.
819 - give proper diagnostic when RXVT_SOCKET is too long instead of
820 corrupting the stack (patch by exg).
821 - display current terminal locale in option menu.
822 - urxvtd no longer crashes when the client sends an inaccessible
823 working directory (reported by Roland Baer, possibly fixes gentoo
824 bug #143985).
825 - fixed many minor issues reported by Roland Baer.
826 - Leonid Khramov spotted a minor glitch in rxvtfont.C that
827 should not have any consequences, but was buggy nonetheless.
828 - manpage fix by exg.
829
8307.9 Mon Aug 7 18:16:07 CEST 2006
831 - fix the crashing bug people encountered with 7.8 + urxvtd + perl
832 + transparency. Ought to fix debian bug #380348.
833 - fix urxvtc.1.pod: it actually claimed -pty-fd would not work. But
834 it does! :->
835 - rxvt_fatal() in case the locale string is too long for our static buffer.
836 - fixed many, many, typos in the manpages (patch supplied by ves).
837
8387.8 Mon Jul 17 21:00:46 CEST 2006
839 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: this version will always read ~/.Xdefaults,
840 earlier versions only read it if display-resources (usually from
841 .Xresources) are not set. This avoids the #1 FAQ ("why isn't my
842 resource used") and seems to be logical behaviour, too. .Xdefaults
843 resources have a lower priority than display-specific resources.
844 - add "kuake" perl extension that does a similar thing to the kuake
845 terminal emulator (see man urxvtperl).
846 - use less "correct" color scaling that is compatible with libX11 and
847 Xft (avoids off-by-one colors resulting in striped backgrounds).
848 - the "depth" resource is now respected.
849 - preset the searchable-scrollback pattern with "(?i)" to default search
850 to case-insensitivity. Will automatically be cleared when typing an
851 uppercase character.
852 - add FORCE_UNBUFFERED_XFT define to features.h.
853 - re-enabled highlightcolor support with --enable-frills, based on
854 a patch by Martin Stubenschrott.
855 - double-buffered xft drawing did suffer from pixel offset issues
856 when pixmap transparency was enabled.
857 - strategically add # to the url-match regexes, as we really want to
858 match common URIs not common URLs. Reported by Aaron Griffin.
859 - moved on_osc_seq to on_osc_seq_perl and added a more
860 generic osc_seq.
861 - fix a bug causing double callback invocations when perl hooks
862 were invoked recursively.
863 - the automove-background extension now properly works when the
864 pixmap gets reset with an osc sequence (sqweek).
865 - selection-pastebin did not work properly with non-latin1-characters.
866 - apply colorUL only when the text colour is the default fg
867 (patch by Wu Fengguang).

880 - use double-buffered drawing (xft fonts only). On many driver/hardware
881 combination this actually increases xft drawing speed, at the expense
882 of more network bandwidth and slight nausea on the side of the author.

884 click, and eats the click.
885 - tabbed perl extension now supports -e.
886 - disabled graphics-exposures on the main drawing GC, report any
887 refresh bugs please.

889 changes (for kde's benefit) at the expense of extra round-trips,
890 improve size hint setting.
891 - modified XIM according to a patch sent by Takano Akio that sets
892 the preedit rectangle for OverTheSpot, which helps some input methods
893 to correctly position their preedit window.
894 - un-optimise the line clearing on newly scrolled-in lines a bit: the
895 former reasoning was that any fg colour on default bg looks the same
896 in empty spaces, but that's not true when reversing (e.g. selection),
897 so also check for matching fg colours. This fixes the problem where
898 selecting newly scrolled-in lines would exhibit wrong colours.
899 - fix a bug in the perl interface causing focus in events to generate
900 focus out perl events, causing bad focus effects with -pe tabbed.
901 - fix a race resulting in a crash on exiting.
902 - fix a with --disable-xft that caused xfreecolors to be called on
903 colors never allocated, resulting in aborts (reported by Paco-Paco).
904 - resources on non-initial screens weren't refetched correctly
905 (reported by Paco-Paco).
906 - fix a bug in xcopyarea pass and _disable_ it, as it seems not to be
907 working in either rxvt-unicode nor in the original rxvt.
908 - removed undocumented -exec alias for the -e option.
