42TODO: URxvt::Ext::Name::Part2 installs urxvt ext name-part2 and provides pod/manpage for URxvt::Ext::Name::Part2
43TODO: think aboiut actions - are thesy tetx vstrings (utf-8) or octets
44 - the "moa redraw 8-bit british vintage colour management" release.
45 - NOTICE: this release updates terminfo.
46 - fix pixel droppings on overdraw when a secondary core font has the
47 same height but different ascent.
48 - implement cvvis in terminfo as blinking cursor, to distinguish it
49 from cnorm (emacs uses cvvis which is commonly a blinking cursor).
50 - when xft support was compiled in, color queries erroneously returned
51 premultiplied values, this also affected internal queries, for example
52 when calculating faded colors. alpha is now divided out when possible,
53 which is more correct but loses color resolution.
54 - add DECSCUSR xterm extension to set the cursor to a vertical bar.
55 - add 'extension:string' action, and associated on_action perl
56 hook, for keysym resources that invokes actions provided by
57 perl extensions. The 'perl:string' action and
58 on_user_command hook are deprecated but still supported.
59 - add 'builtin-string' action for keysym resources that restores string
60 mappings for keys that have predefined actions in urxvt.
61 - add -k option to urxvtc for killing the daemon process.
62 - add -dockapp option to make the wm treat urxvt as a dockapp.
63 - add -mc option and multiClickTime resource to set the maximum time
64 between multi-click select events (patch by Joe Peterson).
65 - new 'eval' extension to evaluate arbitrary perl code with keysym
66 bindings. The extension also provides methods that implement basic
67 actions, such as pasting selections and scrolling.
68 - the macosx-clipboard and macosx-clipboard-native extensions have been removed.
69 - kuake extension now uses the kuake.hotkey resource to specify the hotkey.
70 - new 'matcher:select' mode of matcher to iterate over the matches with the keyboard.
71 - the 'matcher:list' feature of matcher now honours the launcher
72 associated to a matched pattern.
73 - speed-up matcher underlining on very long lines (reported by Edward Z. Yang).
74 - fix up/down commands of searchable-scrollback so that they always move
75 to the previous/next logical line with a match, if any.
76 - searchable-scrollback resource has been deprecated (use keysym instead).
77 - extension parameter passing is deprecated (use resource mechanism instead).
78 - upgrade to GPLv3 (see COPYING).
79 - compile out of the box on Solaris 10, again.
80 - fix height and position of the stippled area in next scrollbar (patch
81 by Thomas Otto).
82 - fix off-by-one bug causing the iso14755 window not to jump out of the
83 way properly.
84 - fix crash that may happen if a lib to which urxvt is linked to calls setenv.
85 - fix memory leak in special_{encode,decode} perl methods.
86 - fix refresh bug that occurs when reverse video is set on a cell
87 containing a space and with the same bg and fg color, red hat bug
88 #830236.
89 - fix crash that may happen if an x error is received after a terminal
90 window/popup has been destroyed already.
91 - removed superfluous 0 digit from sgr terminfo sequence.
92 - greatly improve colour allocation on colour-starved pseudocolor
93 displays to avoid read-write cells instead of simply failing
94 (this is only relevant for antique 8bpp frame buffers).
95 - do not free fade colours when not doing fading (this is likely
96 only relevant for antique 8bpp frame buffers).
97 - do not specialcase 2 or 4 colour visuals, leading to
98 simpler and actually more correct code.
99 - hopefully no longer leak colours on !truecolor visuals.
100 - use consistent method names (scr_recolour => scr_recolor).
101 - use simpler (but slightly less bogus) formula for nearest
102 colour choice (this is likely only relevant for antique 8bpp
103 frame buffers).
104 - remove fallback behaviour when initialising colours - the
105 behaviour was inconsistent between startup vs. later and
106 was only effective when valid colours couldn't be allocated.
107
1089.20 Sat Apr 26 16:22:27 CEST 2014
109 - (libptytty) fix bug that prevented urxvtd from writing utmp
110 entries when using --fork (reported by Ryan Kavanagh).
111 - security bugfix: window property values could be queried even
112 in secure mode (reported by Conor McCarthy).
113 - fix build when perl is enabled and fading is disabled.
114 - fix regression that broke continuous scrolling when pressing
115 and holding the scrollbar up or down button, gentoo bug #493992.
116 - increase the maximum length of a command sequence to 32k bytes,
117 to allow longer OSC sequences (previous limit was 2k).
118 - new Ctrl-Meta-c and Ctrl-Meta-v bindings to interact with
119 the CLIPBOARD selection.
120 - new extension: selection-to-clipboard.
121 - the extensions macosx-clipboard and macosx-clipboard-native
122 are deprecated and will be removed in the next release.
123 Support for the clipboard on OS X can be more generally
124 enabled by setting the XQuartz preference to sync the OS X
125 pasteboard and the X11 clipboard.
126
1279.19 Sun Oct 27 17:16:07 CET 2013
128 - work around perl 5.18.0 breakage in tabbed extension
129 (reported by Karol Blazewicz) and in pod (Dominic Hargreaves).
130 - fix regression that caused the double-click word selection to
131 erroneously include a tab on the left of the selected word.
132 - implement FOCUS variable and focus_fade function in background
133 expression, to allow focus-sensitive background images.
134 - add support for the set cursor style (DECSCUSR) control
135 function.
136 - honour cursorColor also when the cursor style is underline.
137 - export some Color_xxx constants to Perl.
138
1399.18 Sun Mar 24 15:33:35 CET 2013
140 - fix regression that caused artifacts on resize.
141
1429.17 Fri Mar 1 13:46:08 CET 2013
143 - add shade operator in background perl extension.
144 - avoid starting or ending the selection in the middle of wide
145 characters to avoid artifacts (reported by Tiago Resende).
146 - fix artifacts that may occur if the character in the cursor
147 cell has width > 1 (reported by Tiago Resende).
148 - fix regression that causes artifacts on scrolling if
149 saveLines is 0 and the window is resized (reported by Bert
150 Münnich).
151 - fix build when perl is enabled and pixbuf and transparency
152 are disabled.
153
1549.16 Thu Dec 27 11:56:43 CET 2012
155 - the "so much new stuff your eyes will pop out" release.
156 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: renamed urlLauncher resource to url-launcher.
157 - fix processing of DEC private mode save sequences (patch by Patrick
158 Hemmer).
159 - perl extensions now have their own manpages, installed as urxvt-NAME(1),
160 e.g. urxvt-background(1) - see urxvt-extensions(1) for a list.
161 - fix disabling of cursor blink with the option-popup menu (based on a
162 patch by Jan Larres).
163 - the font height is not augmented anymore when lineSpace is non zero.
164 - fix "new pagemap" vs. "delete pagemap" mismatch ([] vs. non-[]),
165 as diagnosed by clang.
166 - fix height mismatch between active and inactive cursor when
167 lineSpace is non zero (patch by Stanislav Seletskiy).
168 - make it compile with LOCAL_X_IS_UNIX again (reported by
169 nickfailure@gmail.com).
170 - completely redone background pixmap support - users can now
171 specify arbitrary expressions (And programs) that calculate
172 new terminal backgrounds. see the urxvt-background manpage
173 for details.
174 - xrender is now required for background pixmap support.
175 - perl extensions can now provide commandline switches and resources
176 which show up in -help etc.
177 - iso14755 51 mode window now displays row and column.
178 - implement a -visual switch and move that and -depth to frills, also
179 warn when we can't get the requested visual.
180 - new env variable: RXVT_PERL_LIB.
181 - allocate all screen memory in one go and let the virtual memory
182 subsystem sort it out. this simplifies code, improves access
183 locality, saves a bit of ram and makes things a bit faster, too.
184 - remove support for libafterimage.
185 - update to CVS version of libev, for a whopping 11kb size decrease.
186 - do not ship yet another copy of ecb.h, use the one in libev or
187 libptytty instead.
188 - selectively mark some methods as cache-hot/cache cold, which
189 might speed up execution but definitely decreases codesize.
190 - Fix regression that prevented the scrollbar trough color
191 from being applied (reported by Derek B. Noonburg).
192 - Fix the scrollbar size for rxvt style (patch by Mark Robinson).
193
1949.15 Sat Jan 21 13:36:56 CET 2012
195 - remove "using namespace std" because clang erroneously
196 thinks thats an error.
197 - finding a matching font (e.g. bold version of the base font)
198 was broken (reported by Eamon Walker).
199 - fix parsing of bg image styles. They really work now.
200 - fix blurring of bg image borders when using xrender.
201 - fix xrender blur on common xrender implementations that do
202 not behave correctly when the same pixmap is used as source
203 and destination in composite operations.
204 - fix regression that caused tabbed to compute the wrong size
205 for tabs.
206 - allow again an empty suffix in a keysym list spec (patch by
207 Sung Pae).
208 - unsupported support for sun studio's CC added.
209 - fix -C option on solaris.
210
2119.14 Wed Dec 21 18:40:33 CET 2011
212 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: the urxvtd default socket path is now
213 $HOME/.urxvt/urxvtd-<nodename>.
214 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: the "list" keysym expansion now requires
215 loading of the "keysym-list" perl extension.
216 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: A scale value of 0 in the bg image
217 geometry no longer enables tiling, so as to make it possible
218 to disable both scaling and tiling.
219 - overhaul of the bg image operations. The old operations have
220 been deprecated in favour of elementary operations and
221 styles built on top of the new operations and scale/position
222 settings. (Emanuele Giaquinta).
223 - support for libafterimage is deprecated and will be removed
224 in the next release.
225 - fix a crash caused by selection_check not properly resetting
226 out-of-bounds mark values (can happen when extending a selection
227 while scrolling up in curses programs for example).
228 - do not move the selection when scrolling up and the selection is
229 outside the scrolling region (Emanuele Giaquinta).
230 - fix display of bold bright black (reported by Ben Winslow).
231 - fix memory leak when urgentOnBell is set (patch by Nathaniel
232 Filardo).
233 - fix a redraw bug that occurs when a bg pixmap is set and the
234 wm does not honour the size hints set by urxvt. Now urxvt
235 forces the size of the terminal window to be a multiple of
236 the cell size.
237 - sanitise the argument of SD / SU sequences. Fixes a possible
238 crash when the argument is big enough, red hat bug #711137
239 (Emanuele Giaquinta).
240 - correctly split long lines when scrolling.
241 - urxvt now looks for perl extensions also in $HOME/.urxvt/ext.
242 - add bell-command perl extension to execute a command when a
243 bell event occurs (Ryan Kavanagh).
244 - add set_urgency perl binding to set/reset the urgency hint.
245 - consume button release event in matcher (exg).
246 - keyboard accessible list of recent matches in matcher
247 (Bob Farrell).
248 - properly process 'keysym' sequences in tabbed when using
249 'focus follows mouse' and the focus is on the main window
250 but not on the active terminal window (patch by Martin
251 Pohlack).
252 - support for the freedesktop startup-notification protocol (patch by
253 Michael Stapelberg).
254 - the direction of VPR and VPB commands was reversed.
255 - fix alignment of inherited root pixmap when it is a different size
256 than the root window and the terminal window is off the left or top
257 edge (Mikachu).
258 - make $self visible in "eval perl expression" popup action, also
259 handle exceptions better.
260 - fix parsing of '-e' when it occurs as an option argument, such as in
261 'urxvt -title -e' (Emanuele Giaquinta).
262
2639.12 Wed Jun 29 14:34:28 CEST 2011
264 - fix regression in processing of SelectionNotify events.
265 urxvt would fail to request a selection if the owner did not
266 support the UTF8_STRING target.
267 - fix rendering of double width chars in certain circumstances, more
268 likely to happen if urxvt is compiled with 256 colors support as
269 urxvt runs out of fonts much earlier then. Fixes gentoo bug #358151
270 (Emanuele Giaquinta).
271 - restore support for 'list' syntax in keysym resources (requested by Sung Pae).
272 - always premultiply colour values - while this increases differences between
273 core fonts and xft, it is "more correct" in practical situations.
274 - disable PTYTTY_REENTRANT option - not needed for urxvt and saves a bit of code.
275 - remove lucidatypewriter from the list of fallback fonts, it was the only
276 non-xft non-cellfont in the list anyway.
277
2789.11 Mon May 2 10:34:46 CEST 2011
279 - fix compilation on GNU/Hurd, debian bug #624736.
280 - remove 'list' syntax for keysym resources, as it serves no useful purpose.
281 If you need it, poke us and provide a use case.
282 - fix alpha channel support. Premultiply alpha in colours if the visual
283 supports an alpha channel, as xrender expects premultiplied alpha
284 (Emanuele Giaquinta).
285 - fix reply to a selection request sent by an obsolete client
286 such as syncterm (patch by Marcin Cieslak).
287 - fix crash when the window is resized and the overlay is active
288 (Emanuele Giaquinta, reported by Ryan Kavanagh).
289 - match character-wise rather than byte-wise in selection
290 extension again. perl 5.8.9+ is required to avoid extreme
291 slowdowns. Fixes debian bugs #523072, #616463.
292 - fix a possible crash if the INCR transfer process for a
293 selection property timeouts and at least one chunk is
294 received. (Emanuele Giaquinta)
295 - work around a memory corruption bug in xorg's XrmSetDatabase (apparently
296 broken since http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/xorg-commit-diffs/2004-March/000239.html).
297 - fix memory corruption bug when custom command sequences bound to keys
298 were injected into an already-full pty input buffer.
299 - gdk-pixbuf is autodetected by default and preferred over libafterimage.
300 - do not prepend a newline to the selection text when the starting line
301 of the selection is not highlighted (Emanuele Giaquinta).
302 - don't swap perl env with real env, save and restore it, just in case
303 we ever get recursive perl invocations. also saves a bit of codespace
304 with gcc.
305 - fix various memory leaks (Emanuele Giaquinta).
306 - fix typo in kIC terminfo capability, debian bug #446444.
307 - document 'thickness' resource.
308 - fix debian bug #504817, to the extent possible.
309 - try to detect byte order at compile time, saves a couple of
310 hundred bytes, if your compiler is smart enough.
311 - add support for previewing the pasted data in confirm-paste
312 (Emanuele Giaquinta).
313 - added "newlines to spaces" option in selection-popup.
314 - actually enabled solaris event ports backend (was disabled by accident).
315 - revert to 38400 baud max., mission accomplished.
316 - no longer create scary "pty_fill: PLEASE REPORT" message, instead,
317 silently drain the input (problem is well understood now).
318 - no longer swallow rob nation's own graphics mode commands.
319
3209.10 Mon Dec 13 17:43:52 CET 2010
321 - the "schmorp=north korea dickey=south korea" release.
322 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: make OSC 20 simpler and more correct
323 (Emanuele Giaquinta).
324 - if options were compiled out, this could lead to the option
325 count to be defined wrongly. This is likely behind the
326 failures with gcc 4.5.
327 - explicitly depend on fontconfig and xrender when xft support
328 is enabled. Although the public Xft api uses types from
329 both, in Xft 2.2.0 these libs are private
330 dependencies only thanks to an idiotic behaviour of
331 pkg-config that was added to workaround cases like this one.
332 Fixes linking when using GNU ld with --as-needed or GNU gold
333 (based on patch by Jan Palus).
334 - fix minor memory leaks in urxvt and urxvtd.
335 - fix regression in urxvtd that prevented options from being correctly
336 set (reported by Michal Vaner).
337 - implement xterm's horribly broken 1005 mouse reporting mode,
338 and an alternative 1015 mode that works in non-utf-8 locales
339 and has fewer limitations.
340 - fix a possible bug where mouse notifications didn't work after
341 startup for the upper left corner.
342 - implement our own pixbuf to pixmap rendering to get rid of
343 dependency on buggy gdk-pixbuf-xlib. Only truecolor visuals
344 are supported (Emanuele Giaquinta).
345 - apply tinting before shading when both operations are requested.
346 Previously they were intermixed when lightening and the result
347 was inaccurate and confusing. Note that now a black tint yields a
348 completely black image, regardless of shading (Emanuele Giaquinta).
349 - avoid spurious redraws of the bg image when bg is transparent or
350 when using 'root' mode (Emanuele Giaquinta).
351 - fix build on XFree86.
352 - dynamically number options according to compiletime requirements.
353 For the extra saved byte. Or so. Yay.
354 - start options at one, not zero. Wastes a bit per terminal. Maybe.
355 saves 50 instruction bytes. Possibly.
356
3579.09 Sat Nov 13 01:39:07 CET 2010
358 - NOTICE: this release updates terminfo/termcap.
359 - the bestest release ever.
360 - it was verified that urxvt handles µ and μ correctly.
361 - add support for blending and blurring with XRender (Emanuele Giaquinta).
362 - add support for using gdk-pixbuf as image backend (Emanuele Giaquinta).
363 - cleanup and minor fixes of the image code (Emanuele Giaquinta).
364 - new perl extension "confirm-paste" (Emanuele Giaquinta).
365 - new on_tt_paste perl hook and tt_paste perl binding (Emanuele Giaquinta).
366 - new on_bell perl hook (Emanuele Giaquinta).
367 - searchable-scrollback no longer ignores the first line
368 (Emanuele Giaquinta).
369 - properly set VSTATUS in termios for *BSD (reported by Ed Schouten).
370 - fix utmpx detection on upcoming FreeBSD 9.
371 - Use COMPOUND_TEXT encoding for WM_NAME/WM_ICON_NAME value when it
372 is not fully convertible to STRING (patch by James Cloos).
373 - fix a buffer overflow that would cause wrong key sequences to
374 be generated for numpad keys (introduced in 9.05).
375 - fix definition of sgr0 to work around limitations in luit.
376 - extend ISO 14755 5.4 mode to also print the font name of the
377 characters other than first one in the selected cell
378 (Emanuele Giaquinta).
379 - new iso14755 option to disable ISO 14755 at runtime
380 (Emanuele Giaquinta).
381 - make sure pagewise scrolling scrolls at least one line
382 (found by Mikachu).
383 - remove deprecated OSC 18 / 19 and make OSC 17 / 19 apply to
384 highlightColor / highlightTextColor (Emanuele Giaquinta).
385 - add highlightTextColor resource to change the foreground colour of
386 highlighted characters (Emanuele Giaquinta).
387 - make highlightColor apply also to selected cells with reverse video
388 but not to non selected cells with reverse video (Emanuele Giaquinta).
389 - remove colorRV resource (it was enabled only with frills off).
390 - fix numlock handling, the most longstanding bug to date (Emanuele Giaquinta).
391 - reduce the number of custom bits to 4, to make room
392 for 256 colours.
393 - add support for 256 colors (Emanuele Giaquinta, Marc Lehmann).
394 - add rxvt-unicode-256color terminfo and use it by default in 256 colors mode.
395 - update rxvt-unicode terminfo to state 7744 colour pairs to cover all
396 88*88 possible pairs.
397 - actually added macosx-clipboard-native, which should have been in
398 the 9.07 release but had been forgotten.
399 - fix hang if DECAWM is not set and there are not enough columns to insert a
400 character (Emanuele Giaquinta).
401 - cub1 ("backspace") will now respect wrapping when past the rightmost column,
402 working around a shortcoming of most tty line discipline's line editing.
403 - add support for grabbing the clipboard selection and extend
404 selection{_clear,_grab,} perl bindings to optionally work
405 on the clipboard selection (based on patch by Dana Jansens).
406 - no longer force CERASE to BACKSPACE - use the system default. affects
407 default value for VERASE only when no compatible setting for
408 backspacekey was given.
409 - use higher than 38400 baudrate setting, if detected.
410 - erase screen would clear to the wrong background when blinking
411 was enabled (which selects high intensity under some circumstances).
412 - scr_kill_char didn't touch the line.
413 - upgrade and port to libev-4.01.
414 - enabled solaris event ports and kqueue backends (if available).
415
4169.07 Wed Dec 30 07:07:18 CET 2009
417 - port to glibc-2.10 changes (strchr etc. returning const char *
418 in C++), based on patches by Milos Jakubicek and Oliver Mader.
419 - the binary search algorithm to find precomposed characters
420 was faulty, skipping some possible combinations (found by
421 Mikachu).
422 - new -letterspace option, patch by Mark H. Wilkinson.
423 - enable --mlock option for urxvt with frills on
424 systems supporting it (patch by Russell Harmon).
425 - urxvt did not compile without frills enabled
426 (analysed by Matthew Rosewarne).
427 - correctly reset the mbstate after an illegal
428 input sequence when handling terminal output (Emanuele Giaquinta).
429 - avoid redrawing wide characters with combining enabled on every
430 refresh (reported by Mikachu).
431 - fix a typo preventing the ISO-646.1991 character set from being
432 recognized (http://achurch.org/patch-pile/).
433 - better warning for x11 font encoding detection failures, also,
434 try to deduce encoding from both font properties and name
435 (adapted from http://achurch.org/patch-pile/).
436 - resizing the window with the scrollbar disabled via the escapes
437 sequence could make the window bigger again (Mikachu).
438 - make sure the alignment for fd passing control messages
439 is correct and work around some NetBSD issues (Taylor R Campbell).
440 - update to libptytty 1.3.
441 - replace macosx-clipboard by a nicer version by Reza Jelveh, and move
442 the old version to macosx-clipboard-native.
443 - document the -uc option (Emanuele Giaquinta).
444 - assertions in libev are now enabled depending on frills.
445 - update AnyEvent implementation to version 5.23 API.
446 - work around arrogant bsd idiocies again: netbsd spills the default
447 namespace with lots of symbols "for gnu/gcc compatibility" even
448 though neither of them does it, and then calls the rest of the world
449 in need of fixing. go figure.
450 - on_keyboard_command is on_user_command (patch by Michael Witten).
451 - setting the selection from perl will now reset the selection screen
452 to the current screen. the screen can be manipulated using
453 the new ->selection_screen method.
454 - implement --enable-assert configure option and get rid of DEBUG_STRICT
455 (based on patch by Emanuele Giaquinta).

458 - upgrade to libev-3.9 prerelease.
459 - updated compose tables to unicode 5.2.0.
460
4619.06 Sat Nov 8 17:47:18 CET 2008
462 - NOTICE: this release updates terminfo/termcap.
463 - updates libev to 3.48.
464 - the aterm code now frees the as visual and image manager objects
465 when a window was closed.
466 - do not (wrongly) adjust the virtual line length inside
467 scr_insdel_chars/ERASE (Miroslav Lichvar).
468 - fix an issue where wide tab characters caused character shifts
469 when part of them was deleted (tracked down by Miroslav Lichvar).
470 - artificially enlargen the previous character at the end of a line
471 when trying to output a character that doesn't fit. looks ugly, but
472 makes copy&paste work.
473 - remove bogus "setuid/setgid security issues" from rxvt.1.pod, they
474 no longer apply.
475 - the urgency hint is now cleared on both focus in and focus out.
476 - cache urgency hint locally to avoid server rtt on every focus change.
477 - perl 5.10 needs PERL_SYS_INIT3 on hppa.
478 - ignore byte-order marks and do not treat them like combining characters.
479 - fix build issue when CURSOR_BLINK is not defined (Emanuele Giaquinta).
480 - do some µ-optimisations to the character fast path.
481 - use a less cunning, but more robust algorithm to avoid one terminal
482 monopolising the whole process by outputting a lot of text.
483 - try to work around linux first breaking sched_yield and now breaking
484 the only known workaround.
485 - new option -icon to set _NET_WM_ICON (based on patch by Frank Schmitt).
486 - initialise the as visual only on demand, instead of unconditionally,
487 to save memory in the common case of not using visual gimmicks.
488 - try to work around bugs in a few wm's that erroneously resize
489 client windows on hint property updates by temporarily
490 disabling size hints.
491 - implement the DECSTR soft reset sequence and use it for tput init,
492 and make hard RIS and DECSTR both reset more private modes, such
493 as mouse reporting.
494 - redundantly clear mouse reporting and a few other states in
495 tput init/tput reset, for older urxvts.
496 - partial/full clear screens did cause flickering and possibly pixel
497 droppings when urxvt viewed the scrollback buffer.
498 - use current rendition style in DCH sequence.
499 - the 132/80 mode switch no longer forces a screen reset.
500 - add an osc sequence to change the border colour (Emanuele Giaquinta).
501 - new perl extension "overlay-osc", for status displays and the like.
502 - fix some minor cursor drawing issues with overlays by allowing
503 overlays to modify screen flags (to disable the cursor themselves).
504 - work around programs not restoring rstyle before rmcup
505 (analysed by Miroslav Lichvar).
506
5079.05 Sun Jun 15 20:09:20 CEST 2008
508 - new option --cd/chdir to set the starting working directory.
509 - tabbed extension now starts in the "correct" working directory.

511 header file for it (report by Tuncer Ayaz).
512 - upgrade libev, fixing a bug in the select backend.
513 with more than 31 file descriptors on non-linux 64 bit systems.
514 - correctly reset the multibyte state to the initial one
515 after EILSEQ (patch by Neil Booth). This fixes the
516 issue of rxvt-unicode not properly displaying text after an illegal
517 sequence on NetBSD and probably other systems.
518 - more intelligent property handling with -pe tabbed, works around
519 broken window managers (kwm et al.), saves bandwidth and should
520 help working window managers as well.
521 - made tabs moveable (based on a patch by Petr Machata).
522 - implement ESC [ 3 K as a more rational alternative to ESC [ 0 K.
523 - support relative paths for RXVT_SOCKET in urxvtd.
524 - the tabbed extension now blindly copies over all (rxvt-) resources
525 from the toplevel window to the children.
526 - better diagnostic on 0x0 window geometries.
527 - update AnyEvent API to version 3.4 and above.
528 - document the default value of :0 for DISPLAY.
529 - rename perl method XChangeWindowProperty to XChangeProperty.
530
5319.02 Tue Jan 29 11:58:36 CET 2008
532 - the "exg makes everybody happy" release.
533 - fix build with !xft.
534 - always compile in plain style scrollbar (simplifies code and looks great).
535
5369.01 Sat Jan 26 20:49:27 CET 2008
537 - be more aggressive about handling X events, this seems to be required
538 with newer xlibs (should fix the "screen stays black until event is
539 received" problem, again :)
540 - add buffered resource to control xft double-buffering.
541
5429.0 Fri Jan 25 19:34:04 CET 2008
543 - fix a crash bug where urxvtd would crash when urxvtc was called
544 with wrong arguments (I wish debian maintainers in general would
545 report bugs and their proposed fixes to the original package maintainers
546 instead of sitting on them for good measure to see if anybody notices).
547 - drawing xft compose characters was causing garbage to be drawn.
548 - correctly clear xft character background in all cases.
549 - implement bracketed paste mode (xterm private mode 2004).
550 - improve documentation on alpha channel handling, make urxvt
551 work better on servers lacking the RENDER extension when alpha
552 channels or background images are used.
553 - check for refresh after initialising to avoid staying blank
554 till the first event arrives. or so.
555 - the FORCE_UNBUFFERED_XFT feature macro works again.
556 - continuously update transparency while moving/resizing now.
557 - OSC 39/49 are deprecated and aliased to OSC 10/11.
558 - cub1 now acts as advertised (and ignores the "wrapped" state).
559 - the 132/80 mode switch now forces a height of 24, too, and
560 resets the terminal.
561 - scrollbar code cleanups.
562 - stopping children is no longer confused with children exiting.
563 - removed (undocumented) #aarrggbb format.
564 - updated to libev 3.0.
565
5668.9 Mon Dec 24 07:51:40 CET 2007
567 - fix the issue where urxvtd would not immediately close a window
568 when the command exited but only on the next X event.
569 - changed terminfo file not to use application keypad mode.
570 - fix the issue where making a selection in one urxvtd window
571 would not clear it visually in another.
572 - fix an issue of urxvt not getting background pixmap updates
573 and flickering after bg pixmap changes (reported by Mikachu).
574 - fix redraw bug in xterm scrollbar with -sr (reported by Mikachu).
575 - correctly provide dependencies for libev (µikachu).
576 - minor code reorganisations and cleanups.
577 - be more robust in case the urxvt-popup extension cannot be loaded.
578
5798.8 Sat Dec 15 19:40:39 CET 2007
580 - option -C was aliased to all unsupported options, activating
581 options that shouldn't be compiled in, leading to interesting
582 effects.
583 - updated libev, working around a bug in linux 2.4, curing the
584 symptom of urxvt not closing its window on shell exit. also
585 fixes a problem with urxvt not refreshing.
586 - the text blink callback was called even when no blinking
587 text was visible.
588 - pre-8.4 slipwheeling behaviour has been reinstated, with
589 some minor improvements.
590 - streamlined x events processing to only flush once per
591 display and not once per terminal window.
592 - quite a bit of minor code cleanups and codesize optimisations.
593
5948.7 Sun Nov 25 10:23:49 CET 2007
595 - update libev with an important bugfix that would cause crashes
596 when closing windows (when using rxvtd, and update is recommended).
597 - do not compile in the block builtin graphics with --disable-frills.
598
5998.6 Fri Nov 23 14:10:57 CET 2007
600 - upgrade libev to disable kqueue on anything but netbsd as it
601 seems to be broken everywhere else w.r.t. ptys.
602 - allow for spurious event notifications, as at least epoll and
603 especially solaris ports like to lie about them (symptoms:
604 urxvt "hangs" until there is some x11 related activity).
605 - -keysym command line options are now subjected to xlib parsing.
606 - add 'xrm' option analogous to Xt one.
607
6088.5a Wed Nov 21 10:16:33 CET 2007
609 - make it compile with --disable-transparency.
610
6118.5 Wed Nov 21 05:19:20 CET 2007
612 - expect major portability issues in this release: please test and report.
613 - converted from the veritable io manager event loop to
614 the high performance libev (http://software.schmorp.de/pkg/libev).
615 - minor tuning to the perl selection (include single words and more quoting chars).
616 - fix memory leak in pixmap code.
617 - fix a serious bug while setting the XIM destroy callback
618 on (typical) 64 bit systems.
619 - automove-background functionality re-implemented internally using :root op in pixmap
620 geometry string. For example: rxvt -pixmap "image.jpg;:root"
621 - do not link rxvtc against every lib on the planet anymore.
622 - parallel builds should work once more.
623
6248.4 Sat Oct 27 14:02:13 CEST 2007
625 - overhaul of the transparency/pixmap code (sasha).
626 - fix possible race between visual bell and poweron.
627 (reported by Martin von Gagern, gentoo?).
628 - urxvt -e no longer crashes the child.
629 - fixed some minor memleaks on incorrect usage or
630 missing DISPLAY.
631 - implement xterm 1002/1003 mouse tracking modes (exg).
632 - source code organisational cleanups (exg).
633 - updated io_manager.
634
6358.3 Wed Aug 1 20:21:31 CEST 2007
636 - new option: skipScroll/-ss, enabled by default.
637 - go with the times and expect x11 library files in /usr/lib, not
638 /usr/X11R6/lib.
639 - initial transparency improvement/afterimage support
640 patch by Sasha Vasko.
641 - add urgentOnBell resource to set the urgency hint
642 (patch by Philip Paeps).
643 - do not process focus events caused by grabs
644 (patch by Mikachu).
645 - add iso14755_52 resource to disable iso14755 5.2 (exg).
646 - add binding for backspace in iso14755 5.1 to remove the last
647 digit (exg).
648 - better option handling, support more than 30 options (exg).
649 - nuke reconf script, serves no purpose anymore.
650 - fixed and documented matcher/on_user_command processing in matcher
651 extension (tpope).
652 - compile out of the box on Solaris 10 (exg).
653 - fix MappingNotify events (reported by Stephan Walter).
654 - zero-initialise mwmhints, this seems to solve all sorts of minor
655 problems.
656
6578.2 Sat Feb 17 21:35:28 CET 2007
658 - fix make depend in src/, reported by exg.
659 - fixed typo in urxvt::GET_CUSTOM, causing the result to be wrong.
660 (patch by Sergey Vlasov).
661 - unbundled iom perl interface somewhat.
662 - scrollbar-xterm now uses the selected scrollColor instead of fg
663 (found by Aiviru).
664 - disabled linux kernel bug workaround again: disabling it gives
665 a 50% speed hit on affected machines, while enabling it gives
666 a similar speed hit to screen, which is likely the more common
667 case to work around for :/
668 - urxvt::rend2mask perl function, and utilization of it by matcher
669 (patch by Moshe Kamensky).
670 - use perl:matcher on a keysym to open most recently displayed URL.
671 - with matcher, when multiple patterns match, last wins, not first.
672 - fix make and make install with srcdir != builddir (exg).
673 - updated bundled libptytty to fix a bug where the tty would be kept
674 open (see the libptytty ChangeLog for details).
675 - delay setting the IUTF8 flag to after the tty settings have been
676 set so its value does not get lost (reported and analysed by Andrei
677 Paskevich).
678 - rip out support for obsolete sgtty.h interface.
679 - rip out support for non-POSIX termios variants.
680 - update libptytty.
681 - update iom.C, make it call ptytty::sanitise_stdfd on init.
682 - when !XFT, change rounding of colours to use a less correct formula to
683 meet user expectancies (#aaa becomes #a000a000a000 not #9f9f9f9f9f9f).
684 - change the starting offset of the pixmap set with backgroundPixmap
685 from (50,50) to (0,0) (exg).
686 - fix a typo in button_release, now meta-button2 request the value of
687 the Clipboard selection as it should (patch by Serge Koksharov).
688 - fix a bug in drawing a cell with a nonspacing char when using an xft
689 font with inheritPixmap and tintColor (exg).
690
6918.1 Thu Dec 7 22:27:25 CET 2006
692 - ケリスマスプレゼント - zomg!!1, it's too early!!!
693 - fix the assumption that chars < 256 are single-width. Now
694 only assume this for codepoints 32 to 126 (reported by Dai.H.).
695 - $term->strwidth returned wide chars as width 1, because some jerk
696 confused min and max. Fixing this also fixes xim-onthespot.
697 Reported by Takano Akio.
698 - secondaryScroll is now enabled by default (as per the manpage),
699 reported by exg.
700 - correct the description of [percent]color rgba format in the manpage.
701 - incorporated macosx-clipboard extension by Samuel Ljungkvist.
702 - ignore (some) useless focus events (reported by mmc).
703 - updated compose table to unicode 5.0.0.
704
7058.0 Thu Nov 2 18:35:19 CET 2006
706 - combining characters cleared the area instead of creating an overlay,
707 thus losing the ability to draw combining characters properly in most
708 circumstances (reported by exg).
709 - specified fonts were incorrectly morphed to bold/italic according to the
710 basefont, even if explicitly specified (tracked down by tpope).
711 - fixed urxvt::strwidth to calculate width in the same way as screen.C.
712 - fix a crash caused by passing negative widths to overlay functions.
713 - added 'matcher' extension by tpope, replacing the mark-urls extension.
714 - improve url regex to match anything www.* (tpope).
715 - fixed bug with outline cursor color being wrong after xft fonts.
716 - update to libptytty-1.0.
717 - give proper diagnostic when RXVT_SOCKET is too long instead of
718 corrupting the stack (patch by exg).
719 - display current terminal locale in option menu.
720 - urxvtd no longer crashes when the client sends an inaccessible
721 working directory (reported by Roland Baer, possibly fixes gentoo
722 bug #143985).
723 - fixed many minor issues reported by Roland Baer.
724 - Leonid Khramov spotted a minor glitch in rxvtfont.C that
725 should not have any consequences, but was buggy nonetheless.
726 - manpage fix by exg.
727
7287.9 Mon Aug 7 18:16:07 CEST 2006
729 - fix the crashing bug people encountered with 7.8 + urxvtd + perl
730 + transparency. Ought to fix debian bug #380348.
731 - fix urxvtc.1.pod: it actually claimed -pty-fd would not work. But
732 it does! :->
733 - rxvt_fatal() in case the locale string is too long for our static buffer.
734 - fixed many, many, typos in the manpages (patch supplied by ves).
735
7367.8 Mon Jul 17 21:00:46 CEST 2006
737 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: this version will always read ~/.Xdefaults,
738 earlier versions only read it if display-resources (usually from
739 .Xresources) are not set. This avoids the #1 FAQ ("why isn't my
740 resource used") and seems to be logical behaviour, too. .Xdefaults
741 resources have a lower priority than display-specific resources.
742 - add "kuake" perl extension that does a similar thing to the kuake
743 terminal emulator (see man urxvtperl).
744 - use less "correct" color scaling that is compatible with libX11 and
745 Xft (avoids off-by-one colors resulting in striped backgrounds).
746 - the "depth" resource is now respected.
747 - preset the searchable-scrollback pattern with "(?i)" to default search
748 to case-insensitivity. Will automatically be cleared when typing an
749 uppercase character.
750 - add FORCE_UNBUFFERED_XFT define to features.h.
751 - re-enabled highlightcolor support with --enable-frills, based on
752 a patch by Martin Stubenschrott.
753 - double-buffered xft drawing did suffer from pixel offset issues
754 when pixmap transparency was enabled.
755 - strategically add # to the url-match regexes, as we really want to
756 match common URIs not common URLs. Reported by Aaron Griffin.
757 - moved on_osc_seq to on_osc_seq_perl and added a more
758 generic osc_seq.
759 - fix a bug causing double callback invocations when perl hooks
760 were invoked recursively.
761 - the automove-background extension now properly works when the
762 pixmap gets reset with an osc sequence (sqweek).
763 - selection-pastebin did not work properly with non-latin1-characters.
764 - apply colorUL only when the text colour is the default fg
765 (patch by Wu Fengguang).
766 - removed rxvtlib.h from the tarball, it had no reason to be there
767 (spotted by Decklin Foster).
768 - fix compiling with TRANSPARENT but !XPM_BACKGROUND, as reported
769 by omatunto_.
770 - slap in a using namespace std, might help on platforms that don't
771 follow C++ closely enough.
772 - fix mailto url regex, spotted within milliseconds by Jost Krieger.
773 - applied fade_color_update_func.patch by WU Fengguang.
774 - fix a bug where (due to an optimisation in av_delete), hiding the
775 bottom-most overlay would hide two overlays.
776
7777.7 Tue Feb 21 12:32:49 CET 2006
778 - use double-buffered drawing (xft fonts only). On many driver/hardware
779 combination this actually increases xft drawing speed, at the expense
780 of more network bandwidth and slight nausea on the side of the author.
781 - readline perl extension now requires shift-click instead of a normal
782 click, and eats the click.
783 - tabbed perl extension now supports -e.
784 - disabled graphics-exposures on the main drawing GC, report any
785 refresh bugs please.
16 - improve property handling for -pe tabbed: avoid unneecssary property 786 - improve property handling for -pe tabbed: avoid unnecessary property
17 changes (for kde's benefit) at the expense of extra round-trips, 787 changes (for kde's benefit) at the expense of extra round-trips,
18 improve size hint setting. 788 improve size hint setting.
789 - modified XIM according to a patch sent by Takano Akio that sets
790 the preedit rectangle for OverTheSpot, which helps some input methods
791 to correctly position their preedit window.
792 - un-optimise the line clearing on newly scrolled-in lines a bit: the
793 former reasoning was that any fg colour on default bg looks the same
794 in empty spaces, but that's not true when reversing (e.g. selection),
795 so also check for matching fg colours. This fixes the problem where
796 selecting newly scrolled-in lines would exhibit wrong colours.
797 - fix a bug in the perl interface causing focus in events to generate
798 focus out perl events, causing bad focus effects with -pe tabbed.
799 - fix a race resulting in a crash on exiting.
800 - fix a with --disable-xft that caused xfreecolors to be called on
801 colors never allocated, resulting in aborts (reported by Paco-Paco).
802 - resources on non-initial screens weren't refetched correctly
803 (reported by Paco-Paco).
804 - fix a bug in xcopyarea pass and _disable_ it, as it seems not to be
805 working in either rxvt-unicode nor in the original rxvt.
806 - removed undocumented -exec alias for the -e option.
19 807
207.6 Fri Feb 10 08:52:36 CET 2006 8087.6 Fri Feb 10 08:52:36 CET 2006
