7WISH: line-rewrapping on resize 10TODO: default selection should handle = better
8WISH: searchable backlog 11WISH: look into XAddConnectionWatch, does anybody need that?
9WISH: meta-tagging of data by regex (my dream project) 12WISH: anyevent mouse notification / manage MotionMask better.
10WISH: double-click: more intelligent (urls etc.) 13WISH: http://www120.pair.com/mccarthy/nextstep/intro.htmld/Workspace.html is the correct nextstep look.

13WISH: just for fun, do shade and tint with XRender.
14 15
155.6 16 - use double-buffered drawing for xft fonts only. On many driver/hardware
17 combination this actually increases xft drawing speed, at the expense
18 of more network bandwidth and slight nausea on the side of the author.
19 - readline perl extension now requires shift-click instead of a normal
20 click.
21 - disabled graphics-exposures on the main drawing GC, report any
22 refresh bugs please.
23 - improve property handling for -pe tabbed: avoid unnecessary property
24 changes (for kde's benefit) at the expense of extra round-trips,
25 improve size hint setting.
26 - modified XIM according to a patch sent by Takano Akio that sets
27 the preedit rectangle for OverTheSpot, which helps some input methods
28 to correctly position their preedit window.
29 - un-optimise the line clearing on newly scrolled-in lines a bit: the
30 former reasoning was that any fg colour on default bg looks the same
31 in empts spaces, but thats not true when reversing (e.g. selection),
32 so also check for matching fg colours. This fixes the problem where
33 selecting newly scrolled-in lines would exhibit wrong colours.
34 - fix a race resulting in a crash on exiting.
35
367.6 Fri Feb 10 08:52:36 CET 2006
37 - changed interpretation of [alpha] colour prefix.
38 - +option now really sets the option to default, instead of using the
39 resource value.
40 - options that require an argument now really _require_ an argument.
41 - the tabbed extension now forwards focus and keys events to th
42 relevant tab window.
43 - tab colours are now configurable and have sensible defaults
44 (initial patch by hednod).
45 - option menu is extendable, readline, selection and
46 selection-autotransform can now be disabled/enabled at runtime.
47 - forcing a configure event to tabbed subwindows with -pe tabbed, for
48 the benefit of automove-background.
49 - the automove-background extension added a wrong constant offset.
50 - force refresh of XA_RESOURCE_STRING on virtual reconnect.
51 - return exit status 2 in urxvtc when urxvtd couldn't be contacted.
52 - the linux yield hack is back, now using usleep, and enabled only on
53 __linux__.
54 - further round trip eliminations in the !XFT case by remembering
55 the colour components.
56 - plain scrollbar works better with -sr.
57 - fixed half-shadow scrollbar look.
58 - more colour rtt optimisations.
59 - properly(?) free colours on window close.
60 - reorganised the FAQ into multiple sections.
61 - add ISO646.1991-IRV to the list of supported codesets.
62 - minor libptytty update.
63
647.5 Tue Jan 31 15:15:43 CET 2006
65 - further improvements to the careful mode detection, and font width
66 detection:
67 - fully double-wide fonts will now be correctly treated,
68 - overlap detection was improved.
69 - detect totally broken fonts (usually synthesized by xft).
70 - careful mode forced refresh sometimes clashed with blinking,
71 causing unnecessary screen redraws.
72 - better handling of XFT combining characters.
73 - enable antialiasing for some replacement fonts, as they
74 might get used for other encodings which really need it, later.
75 - remove spacing=100 from all default fonts, as this creates totally
76 weird spacing (5 times normal) with xft.
77 - removed iso10646 fallback, as xorgs iso10646 encoded fonts are mostly
78 broken.
79 - removed gnu unifont fallback, all combining characters are broken.
80 - replace named colours by xorg's rgb.txt equivalents, to
81 reduce round trip time on startup, and short-cut allocation
82 of rgb:rr/gg/bb for xft.
83 - short-cut allocation of rgb values in the xlib case
84 (patch by Paco-Paco).
85 - overhauled color management: smaller codesize, alpha support.
86 - support "rgba:rrrr/gggg/bbbb/aaaa" color specifications and
87 an "[alpha]" prefix.
88 - try to work around Xft and Xrender forcing everything to be 100%
89 transparent. Long Live Xft!
90 - do not include X11/Intrinsic.h anymore, directly use
91 Xlib/Xutil/Xresource directly.
92 - try to find a nearest matching color when color allocation fails
93 on a pseudocolor screen.
94 - SYNCCVS: compared to rxvt-cvs 2006-01-28, no relevant changes.
95 - fix version report (DA) (which was unfortunately broken).
96 - changed version number report again, now to emulate xterm closer.
97 - added the OSC sequence 702 to detect the urxvt version number.
98 - small configure updates.
99 - further RTT optimisations.
100
1017.4 Sat Jan 28 15:26:27 CET 2006
102 - screen background wasn't always erased properly when scrolling,
103 - re-enabled clearing optimisation disabled in 7.4pre.
104 - small configure updates for libptytty.
105 - fixed version options: line output.
106 - removed stoopid debugging message left in the code.
107
1087.3 Wed Jan 25 22:47:35 CET 2006
109 - don't let iso14755 or mouse reporting get into the way of perl
110 (could lead to global grabs never being cleared).
111 - experimental OnTheSpot editing support (-pe xim-onthespot).
112 - moved Shift-Button2 paste combination to Meta-Button2.
113 - the cutchars resource will now be respected and used by the
114 selection extension.
115 - added the "remote-clipboard" extension which just runs external
116 commands to fetch and store the selection data.
117 - added -depth switch that tries to get a different visual depth
118 than the default (replaces the old PREFER_24_BIT logic).
119 - removed (unused) arabic presentation form composing sequences.
120 - be more strict when deciding that a core font glyph is too wide and
121 needs the careful rendering mode.
122 - allow more leeway for italic fonts when deciding that a character is
123 too wide and needs careful mode.
124 - redraw even more characters around characters using careful mode.
125 - made selection-pastebin fully asynchronous.
126 - reduced number of server turnarounds at startup by allocating
127 atoms only once per display.
128 - renamed on_keyboard_command to on_user_command.
129 - changed version sos (ESC [ > c) response to be more compatible with
130 xterm.
131
1327.2 Sun Jan 22 21:58:16 CET 2006
133 - bugfix: urxvt (not urxvtd) did not correctly handle multiple
134 environments necessary, which resulted in segfaults within
135 getenv (reproducable: urxvt -fn 9x15, open a menu once,
136 ctrl-shift-672c).
137 - bugfix: the selection speedup in in 7.1 unfortunately caused
138 non-ascii characters to enlarge/move the selection.
139 - bugfix: resizing sometimes leaked lines from the secondary to
140 the primary screen.
141 - bugfix: reducing window size while large amounts of text were output
142 could lead to an assertion failure.
143 - added "tabbed" extension that provides a crude tabbed terminal.
144 - added "readline" extension that allows cursor positioning
145 via mouse clicks.
146 - now it is possible to insert the value of the CLIPBOARD selection
147 with shift - mouse button 2.
148 - fixed the automove-background extension to ignore coordinates
149 in non-synthetic events.
150 - created a separate libpty for portable and secure
151 pty/tty/utmp/wtmp/lastlog handling, and include it in rxvt-unicode.
152 - the non-terminfo visual bell now works asynchronously, so
153 continuous ASCI BELs in one terminal do no longer monopolise the
154 whole urxvt[d] process.
155 - support some *BSD makes (for the time being, gnu make is a safe bet).
156 - work around bugs in FreeBSD's gcc.
157 - implemented some *BSD fixes in configure.
158 - removed support for obsolete offix dnd protocol.
159
1607.1 Thu Jan 19 20:25:34 CET 2006
161 - setuid/setgid operation is now _encouraged_: security has been
162 improved by moving privileged operations into a separate process
163 and permanently dropping privileges within the terminal. This
164 makes it possible to remove security checks from the perl code
165 and gives a much safer feeling when urxvt needs to run with
166 special privileges.
167 - perl taint checking disabled, as urxvt no longer runs setuid/setgid
168 itself.
169 - new perl extension automove-background that can be used to get
170 the same effect as pseudo-transparency with any pixmap.
171 - new perl extension example: perl/selection-pastebin, can be used to
172 e.g. upload the selection to a webserver and generate a url, or
173 similar stuff.
174 - use the scrollback buffer even when the scroll region doesn't
175 span the whole screen, as long as it starts at row 0. Helps
176 for programs displaying a status line at the bottom.
177 - selection popup now shows selection in dec/hex/oct.
178 - perl/selection: matching on unicode characters in the selection
179 code was O(n²), which equals infinity in some degenerate cases
180 :-> Matching is now done on UTF-8, which makes it almost instant.
181 - perl/selection, perl/selection-autotransform: regexes are now
182 being interpreted in the locale urxvt was started.
183 - implemented override-redirect option and enabled it on menus,
184 as kwin puts our windows behind the terminal (what a shoddy wm).
185 - fixed struct utmp check in configure for OpenBSD.
186 - complete overhaul of the pty/utmp management stuff and configure
187 (Emanuele Giaquinta).
188 - add tsl/fsl and related capabilities to the terminfo description,
189 to set the window title.
190 - swap the environment in some more cases. This hopefully fixes
191 some segfaults that might be caused by xft asking for env variables
192 at the wrong time.
193 - removed src/strings.C and src/menubar.C. No menubar support
194 anymore.
195 - removed all traces of SMOOTH_REFRESH.
196 - nuked QNX support.
197 - made some fixes to xpm offset and scaling code.
198 - perl-overlays and refresh hooks were not applied in correct order.
199 - changed coordinate-system of view_start/nsaved to be top to bottom.
200 - iom extended to support listening for child exits.
201
2027.0 Fri Jan 13 14:02:18 CET 2006
203 - added sections for DISTRIBUTION MAINTAINERS and about
204 SETUID/SETGID to the FAQ.
205 - selection, searchable-scrollback, selection-popup and
206 option-popup extensions enabled by default.
207 - increased xft drawing speed for problematic fonts. The effect
208 will likely be small as 99% of the xft slowness is server-related.
209 - perl: much increased functionality, better overlays, popup support
210 and much much more.
211 - perl: urxvt::line now can set via ->t and ->r.
212 - perl: changed interpretation of --perl-ext-common and -pe.
213 - perl: finally implemented --perl-eval.
214 - perl: non-blocking anyevent support.
215 - perl: run tainted and ignore perl-eval/perl-lib if started
216 setuid/setgid.
217 - free the resource database: this plugs a massive memory leak. As a
218 side effect, it also gets rid of XGetDefault calls.
219 - free one of the cursors, fixes a small memory leak.
220 - built-in (as opposed to terminfos) visual bell was broken/too fast.
221 - applied minor cleanups by Ladislav Michnovic.
222 - applied pty handling cleanups and improvements (Emanuele Giaquinta).
223 - mark-urls launch-on-click by jepler.
224 - removed "small" resource parsing function, as it wasn't really
225 compatible, and not really small either.
226 - removed PATH_ENV and PATH file search support.
227 - removed support for locale-specific app-defaults file.
228 - fixed a bug where out-of-bounds colour sequences could lead
229 to crashes.
230 - limit colour changing to the standard 88 palette instead of all
231 colours.
232 - XTerm_Color01 sequence returned wrong results in query mode.
233 - iom.C now checks against destructed io_manager when unregistering.
234
2356.3 Wed Jan 4 22:37:10 CET 2006
236 - SECURITY FIX: on systems using openpty, permissions were
237 not correctly updated on the tty device and were left as
238 world-readable and world-writable (likely in original rxvt,
239 too), and were not restored properly. Affected are only
240 systems where non-unix ptys were used (such as most BSDs, not
241 GNU/Linux). (found, patched and debugged by Ryan Beasley).
242 - meta8 support was forcefully enabled in most configurations.
243 restored configurability of this (useless) feature (reported
244 by Mikachu).
245 - optionally embed a perl interpreter, which can be used for more
246 intelligent/customized selection support, visual feedback,
247 menus, tabs etc. See the the urxvtperl manpage, the -pe option,
248 perl*-resources and keysym resources. Not everything is there yet.
249 - try to be more clever about differing font sizes and their ascent.
250 Not guarenteed to work, but works better in most cases now.
251 - fix directory permissions on install.
252 - implemented option to disable built-in line drawing characters
253 and fall back to the font ones (patch by Martin Pohlack).
254 - disabled sched_yield support: the linux version is just too useless
255 (it schedules nice'd processes before the own one for extended
256 periods). Too bad, it could reduce system time by a factor of 5 here.
257
2586.2 Mon Jan 2 16:03:01 CET 2006
259 - implemented intensityStyles option which enables/disables bold/blink
260 selecting high intensity foreground/background colours, suggested by
261 Chuck Blake.
262 - move iso14755 character feedback box out of the way if it would
263 obscure the mouse cursor position.
264 - replaced callback.h by a fixed version from gvpe that correctly
265 returns the callback result (affects new -pty-fd semantics in urxvtc
266 on a few architectures). Reported by darix.
267 - include one trailing space in rectangular selections to indicate
268 the inserted newline (yeah, weird, but visually more pleasing).
269 - try to use sched_yield to (drastically) improve terminal data
270 transfer efficiency.
271 - further minor cleanups.
272
2736.1 Tue Dec 27 13:23:40 CET 2005
274 - update iso8859-7 table (euro and drachma round-trip et al.).
275 - fix a crash when the selection scrolls out of the scrollback
276 while the user still drags.
277 - selections that were partially scrolled out of the window were
278 not drawn correctly.
279 - lines newly scrolled in were not initialized properly, leading
280 to extremely long lines and (hopefully) some segfaults.
281 - iso14755 overlay position was wrong.
282 - iso14755 overlay now displays rendition info, too.
283 - use unicode white space class instead of hardcoded values for
284 stripping whitespace.
285 - do whitespace stripping on rectangular selections.
286 - slight cleanups in src/features.h.
287
2886.0 Sat Dec 24 13:58:56 CET 2005
289 - make it compile without SMART_RESIZE again.
290 - enable slow link support by default.
291 - fix relative cursor-positioning not respecting scrolling regions
292 (also a bug in original rxvt).
293 - initialize termios structure to zero when fetching it fails
294 (see http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=84647 for a
295 partial patch).
296 - bump max columns/rows to 10000 each.
297 - bump max savelines to 10000000.
298 - -pty-fd now passes the urxvtc fd to the urxvtd process.
299 - avoid linking against -lnsl/-lsocket/-lxpg4 unless neccessary.
300 - major code cleanup (still not complete, though).
301 - implement -hold option.
302 - _major_ rewrite of internal buffer handling:
303 - re-flow on resize, lines get wrapped instead of winged.
304 - circular line buffer (substantially speeds up scrolling).
305 - slightly less code + data memory usage per terminal.
306 - slight overall speed improvements.
307 - considerably improved code clarity.
308 - partial-screen scrolls no longer end up in the scrollback
309 buffer.
310
3115.9 Sat Dec 17 21:53:17 CET 2005
312 - fix a bug in the menu code of unknown impact, found by darix.
313 - clean up signal handling to be global, not per terminal
314 (matters only for rxvtd).
315 - fix small typoe in rxvt.1 (found by Mike Fabian).
316 - don't crash when broken xft/fontconfig/freetype versions return
317 bogus data, ignore the xft font instead (experienced on suse).
318
3195.8 Tue Oct 25 22:21:45 CEST 2005
320 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: many configure options are now on by default.
321 If you want the old behaviour, try:
322 configure --disable-everything <your enable options>
323 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: -fade changed it's meaning to comply with
324 the documentation and common sense: when upgrading, replace your
325 percentage by 100-percentage.
326 - integrated "fade to specific colour" patch by Martin Parm.
327 - slow down the internal visual bell (delay by 20ms) and update
328 the terminfo flash code to use the same delay. This is
329 synchronous, so many bells might inhibit screen updates in other
330 windows.
331 - text with background==foreground colour gets displayed with default
332 bg/fg now when in reverse video, so it can be seen when selecting.
333 - allow koi8r* as x11 encoding name for koi8r (Nikita Danilov).
334 - removed undocumented inheritPixmapforce option.
335 - replaced INSTALL file.
336
3375.7 Wed Jul 13 04:46:33 CEST 2005
338 - implement some useful (hopefully) options for rxvtd.
339 - separate and improved rxvtc(1) and rxvtd(1) manpages.
340 - fix a bug that caused segfaults on startup on systems that do
341 not support local unix connections, e.g cygwin. (btw, I didn't
342 even know about the -rootless and -multiwindow Cygwin/X modes).
343 - large amounts of text without control sequences or newlines
344 could almost freeze output. This has been fixed by adding extra
345 refreshes in these cases (also a problem in original rxvt).
346
3475.6 Sun Jun 26 22:11:13 CEST 2005
16 - R_SB_RXVT bitset value was 0, so rxvt scrollbar was initialised 348 - R_SB_RXVT bitset value was 0, so rxvt scrollbar was initialised

21 Affects display in iso14755 box. 353 Affects display in iso14755 box.
354 - rewrote the low-level xft drawing function ("xft backend" for the
355 hipper parts of the world) to hopefully cope better with proportional
356 chars mixed with fixed-width ones.
357 - rxvt is now much more careful (read: slower) with potentially
358 overlapping xft characters. It usually overshoots and redraws
359 more than required, but that's better than undershooting and
360 cutting pieces off of characters.
361 - rxvt is now more restrictive in what font heights it accepts for
362 fonts that will likely overshoot or undershoot lines.
363 - fix a cosmetic problem with the unfocused cursor on a wide character
364 at the end of the line (reported by Mikachu).
365 - wide characters not fitting into the end of the line will be
366 output in the next line (reported by Mikachu).
367 - added doc/solaris9.patch by Ewgenij Starostin.
