10TODO: default selection should handle = better 11TODO: better resource handling for tabbar in -pe tabbed.
12WISH: investigate -pe tabbed -g 80x25 being 23 not 24 or 25 lines
13 => when setting the constraints, the wm might (correctly)
14 resize the outer window, which might result in a smaller window overall.
15 or something like that. guys, send me a patch.
16WISH: coloured pastebin
17WISH: selection-color-pair instead of reverse video
18WISH: load system-wide config file even if we don't have one
11WISH: look into XAddConnectionWatch, does anybody need that? 19WISH: look into XAddConnectionWatch, does anybody need that?

22 - new option --cd/chdir to set the starting working directory.
23 - tabbed extension now starts in the "correct" working directory.
24 - work around fedora 9 providing isastream but not the relevant
25 header file for it (report by Tuncer Ayaz).
26 - upgrade libev, fixing a bug in the select backend
27 with more than 31 file descriptors on non-linux 64 bit systems.
28 - correctly reset the multibyte state to the initial one
29 after EILSEQ (patch by Neil Booth). This fixes the
30 issue of rxvt-unicode not properly displaying text after an illegal
31 sequence on NetBSD and probably other systems.
32 - more intelligent property handling with -pe tabbed, works around
33 broken window managers (kwm et al.), saves bandwidth and should
34 help working window managers as well.
35 - made tabs moveable (based on a patch by Petr Machata).
36 - implement ESC [ 3 K as a more rational alternative to ESC [ 0 K.
37 - support relative paths for RXVT_SOCKET in urxvtd.
38 - the tabbed extension now blindly copies over all (rxvt-) resources
39 from the toplevel window to the children.
40 - better diagnostic on 0x0 window geometries.
41 - update AnyEvent API to version 3.4 and above.
42 - document the default value of :0 for DISPLAY.
43 - rename perl method XChangeWindowProperty to XChangeProperty.
44
459.02 Tue Jan 29 11:58:36 CET 2008
46 - the "exg makes everybody happy" release.
47 - fix build with !xft.
48 - always compile in plain style scrollbar (simplifies code and looks great).
49
509.01 Sat Jan 26 20:49:27 CET 2008
51 - be more aggressive about handling X events, this seems to be required
52 with newer xlibs (should fix the "screen stays black until event is
53 received" problem, again :)
54 - add buffered resource to control xft double-buffering.
55
569.0 Fri Jan 25 19:34:04 CET 2008
57 - fix a crash bug where urxvtd would crash when urxvtc was called
58 with wrong arguments (I wish debian maintainers in general would
59 report bugs and their proposed fixes to the original package maintaienrs
60 instead of sitting on them for good measure to see if anybody notices).
61 - drawing xft compose characters was causing garbage to be drawn.
62 - correctly clear xft character background in all cases.
63 - implement bracketed paste mode (xterm private mode 2004).
64 - improve documentation on alpha channel handling, make urxvt
65 work better on servers lacking the RENDER extension when alpha
66 channels or background images are used.
67 - check for refresh after initialising to avoid staying blank
68 till the first event arrives. or so.
69 - the FORCE_UNBUFFERED_XFT feature macro works again.
70 - continuously update transparency while moving/resizing now.
71 - OSC 39/49 are deprecated and aliased to OSC 10/11.
72 - cub1 now acts as advertised (and ignores the "wrapped" state).
73 - the 132/80 mode switch now forces a height of 24, too, and
74 resets the terminal.
75 - scrollbar code cleanups.
76 - stopping children is no longer confused with children exiting.
77 - removed (undocumented) #aarrggbb format.
78 - updated to libev 3.0.
79
808.9 Mon Dec 24 07:51:40 CET 2007
81 - fix the issue where urxvtd would not immediately close a window
82 when the command exited but only on the next X event.
83 - changed terminfo file not to use application keypad mode.
84 - fix the issue where making a selection in one urxvtd window
85 would not clear it visually in another.
86 - fix an issue of urxvt not getting background pixmap updates
87 and flickering after bg pixmap changes (reported by Mikachu).
88 - fix redraw bug in xterm scrollbar with -sr (reported by Mikachu).
89 - correctly provide dependencies for libev (µikachu).
90 - minor code reorganisations and cleanups.
91 - be more robust in case the urxvt-popup extension cannot be loaded.
92
938.8 Sat Dec 15 19:40:39 CET 2007
94 - option -C was aliased to all unsupported options, activating
95 options that shouldn't be compiled in, leading to interesting
96 effects.
97 - updated libev, working around a bug in linux 2.4, curing the
98 symptom of urxvt not closing its window on shell exit. also
99 fixes a problem with urxvt not refreshing.
100 - the text blink callback was called even when no blinking
101 text was visible.
102 - pre-8.4 slipwheeling behaviour has been reinstated, with
103 some minor improvements.
104 - streamlined x events processing to only flush once per
105 display and not once per terminal window.
106 - quite a bit of minor code cleanups and codesize optimisations.
107
1088.7 Sun Nov 25 10:23:49 CET 2007
109 - update libev with an important bugfix that would cause crashes
110 when closing windows (when using rxvtd, and update is recommended).
111 - do not compile in the block builtin graphics with --disable-frills.
112
1138.6 Fri Nov 23 14:10:57 CET 2007
114 - upgrade libev to disable kqueue on anything but netbsd as it
115 seems to be broken everywhere else w.r.t. ptys.
116 - allow for spurious event notifications, as at least epoll and
117 especially solaris ports like to lie about them (symptoms:
118 urxvt "hangs" until there is some x11 related activity).
119 - -keysym command line options are now subjected to xlib parsing.
120 - add 'xrm' option analogous to Xt one.
121
1228.5a Wed Nov 21 10:16:33 CET 2007
123 - make it compile with --disable-transparency.
124
1258.5 Wed Nov 21 05:19:20 CET 2007
126 - expect major portability issues in this release: please test and report.
127 - converted from the veritable io manager event loop to
128 the high performance libev (http://software.schmorp.de/pkg/libev).
129 - minor tuning to the perl selection (include single words and more quoting chars).
130 - fix memory leak in pixmap code.
131 - fix a serious bug while setting the XIM destroy callback
132 on (typical) 64 bit systems.
133 - automove-background functionality re-implemented internaly using :root op in pixmap
134 geometry string. For example: rxvt -pixmap "image.jpg;:root"
135 - do not link rxvtc against every lib on the planet anymore.
136 - parallel builds should work once more.
137
1388.4 Sat Oct 27 14:02:13 CEST 2007
139 - overhaul of the transparency/pixmap code (sasha).
140 - fix possible race betwen visual bell and poweron.
141 (reported by Martin von Gagern, gentoo?).
142 - urxvt -e no longer crashes the child.
143 - fixed some minor memleaks on incorrect usage or
144 missing DISPLAY.
145 - implement xterm 1002/1003 mouse tracking modes (exg).
146 - source code organisational cleanups (exg).
147 - updated io_manager.
148
1498.3 Wed Aug 1 20:21:31 CEST 2007
150 - new option: skipScroll/-ss, enabled by default.
151 - go with the times and expect x11 library files in /usr/lib, not
152 /usr/X11R6/lib.
153 - initial transparency improvement/afterimage support
154 patch by Sasha Vasko.
155 - add urgentOnBell resource to set the urgency hint
156 (patch by Philip Paeps).
157 - do not process focus events caused by grabs
158 (patch by Mikachu).
159 - add iso14755_52 resource to disable iso14755 5.2 (exg).
160 - add binding for backspace in iso14755 5.1 to remove the last
161 digit (exg).
162 - better option handling, support more than 30 options (exg).
163 - nuke reconf script, serves no purpose anymore.
164 - fixed and documented matcher/on_user_command processing in matcher
165 extension (tpope).
166 - compile out of the box on Solaris 10 (exg).
167 - fix MappingNotify events (reported by Stephan Walter).
168 - zero-initialise mwmhints, this seems to solve all sorts of minor
169 problems.
170
1718.2 Sat Feb 17 21:35:28 CET 2007
172 - fix make depend in src/, reported by exg.
173 - fixed typo in urxvt::GET_CUSTOM, causing the result to be wrong.
174 (patch by Sergey Vlasov).
175 - unbundled iom perl interface somewhat.
176 - scrollbar-xterm now uses the selected scrollColor instead of fg
177 (found by Aiviru).
178 - disabled linux kernel bug workaround again: disabling it gives
179 a 50% speed hit on affected machines, while enabling it gives
180 a similar speed hit to screen, which is likely the more common
181 case to work around for :/
182 - urxvt::rend2mask perl function, and utilization of it by matcher
183 (patch by Moshe Kamensky).
184 - use perl:matcher on a keysym to open most recently displayed URL.
185 - with matcher, when multiple patterns match, last wins, not first.
186 - fix make and make install with srcdir != builddir (exg).
187 - updated bundled libptytty to fix a bug where the tty would be kept
188 open (see the libptytty ChangeLog for details).
189 - delay setting the IUTF8 flag to after the tty settings have been
190 set so its value does not get lost (reported and analysed by Andrei
191 Paskevich).
192 - rip out support for obsolete sgtty.h interface.
193 - rip out support for non-POSIX termios variants.
194 - update libptytty.
195 - update iom.C, make it call ptytty::sanitise_stdfd on init.
196 - when !XFT, change rounding of colours to use a less correct formula to
197 meet user expectancies (#aaa becomes #a000a000a000 not #9f9f9f9f9f9f).
198 - change the starting offset of the pixmap set with backgroundPixmap
199 from (50,50) to (0,0) (exg).
200 - fix a typo in button_release, now meta-button2 request the value of
201 the Clipboard selection as it should (patch by Serge Koksharov).
202 - fix a bug in drawing a cell with a nonspacing char when using an xft
203 font with inheritPixmap and tintColor (exg).
204
2058.1 Thu Dec 7 22:27:25 CET 2006
206 - ケリスマスプレゼント - zomg!!1, it's too early!!!
207 - fix the assumption that chars < 256 are single-width. Now
208 only assume this for codepoints 32 to 126 (reported by Dai.H.).
209 - $term->strwidth returned wide chars as width 1, because some jerk
210 confused min and max. Fixing this also fixes xim-onthespot.
211 Reported by Takano Akio.
212 - secondaryScroll is now enabled by default (as per the manpage),
213 reported by exg.
214 - correct the description of [percent]color rgba format in the manpage.
215 - incorporated macosx-clipboard extension by Samuel Ljungkvist.
216 - ignore (some) useless focus events (reported by mmc).
217 - updated compose table to unicode 5.0.0.
218
2198.0 Thu Nov 2 18:35:19 CET 2006
220 - combining characters cleared the area instead of creating an overlay,
221 thus losing the ability to draw combining characters properly in most
222 circumstances (reported by exg).
223 - specified fonts were incorrectly morphed to bold/italic according to the
224 basefont, even if explicitly specified (tracked down by tpope).
225 - fixed urxvt::strwidth to calculate width in the same way as screen.C.
226 - fix a crash caused by passing negative widths to overlay functions.
227 - added 'matcher' extension by tpope, replacing the mark-urls extension.
228 - improve url regex to match anything www.* (tpope).
229 - fixed bug with outline cursor color being wrong after xft fonts.
230 - update to libptytty-1.0.
231 - give proper diagnostic when RXVT_SOCKET is too long instead of
232 corrupting the stack (patch by exg).
233 - display current terminal locale in option menu.
234 - urxvtd no longer crashes when the client sends an inaccessible
235 working directory (reported by Roland Baer, possibly fixes gentoo
236 bug #143985).
237 - fixed many minor issues reported by Roland Baer.
238 - Leonid Khramov spotted a minor glitch in rxvtfont.C that
239 should not have any consequences, but was buggy nonetheless.
240 - manpage fix by exg.
241
2427.9 Mon Aug 7 18:16:07 CEST 2006
243 - fix the crashing bug people encountered with 7.8 + urxvtd + perl
244 + transparency. Ought to fix debian bug #380348.
245 - fix urxvtc.1.pod: it actually claimed -pty-fd would not work. But
246 it does! :->
247 - rxvt_fatal() in case the locale string is too long for our static buffer.
248 - fixed many, many, typos in the manpages (patch supplied by ves).
249
2507.8 Mon Jul 17 21:00:46 CEST 2006
251 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: this version will always read ~/.Xdefaults,
252 earlier versions only read it if display-resources (usually from
253 .Xresources) are not set. This avoids the #1 FAQ ("why isn't my
254 resource used") and seems to be logical behaviour, too. .Xdefaults
255 resources have a lower priority than display-specific resources.
256 - add "kuake" perl extension that does a similar thing to the kuake
257 terminal emulator (see man urxtvperl).
258 - use less "correct" color scaling that is compatible with libX11 and
259 Xft (avoids off-by-one colors resulting in striped backgrounds).
260 - the "depth" resource is now respected.
261 - preset the searchable-scrollback pattern with "(?i)" to default search
262 to case-insensitivity. Will automatically be cleared when typing an
263 uppercase character.
264 - add FORCE_UNBUFFERED_XFT define to features.h.
265 - re-enabled highlightcolor support with --enable-frills, based on
266 a patch by Martin Stubenschrott.
267 - double-buffered xft drawing did suffer from pixel offset issues
268 when pixmap transparency was enabled.
269 - strategically add # to the url-match regexes, as we really want to
270 match common URIs not common URLs. Reported by Aaron Griffin.
271 - moved on_osc_seq to on_osc_seq_perl and added a more
272 generic osc_seq.
273 - fix a bug causing double callback invocations when perl hooks
274 were invoked recursively.
275 - the automove-background extension now properly works when the
276 pixmap gets reset with an osc sequence (sqweek).
277 - selection-pastebin did not work properly with non-latin1-characters.
278 - apply colorUL only when the text colour is the default fg
279 (patch by Wu Fengguang).
280 - removed rxvtlib.h from the tarball, it had no reason to be there
281 (spotted by Decklin Foster).
282 - fix compiling with TRANSPARENT but !XPM_BACKGROUND, as reported
283 by omatunto_.
284 - slap in a using namespace std, might help on platforms that don't
285 follow C++ closely enough.
286 - fix mailto url regex, spotted within milliseconds by Jost Krieger.
287 - applied fade_color_update_func.patch by WU Fengguang.
288 - fix a bug where (due to an optimisation in av_delete), hiding the
289 bottom-most overlay would hide two overlays.

316 - resources on non-initial screens weren't refetched correctly
317 (reported by Paco-Paco).
318 - fix a bug in xcopyarea pass and _disable_ it, as it seems not to be
319 working in either rxvt-unicode nor in the original rxvt.
320 - removed undocumented -exec alias for the -e option.
