25 - don't swap perl env with real env, save and restore it, just in case
26 we ever get recursive perl invocations. also saves a bit of codespace
27 with gcc.
28 - fix various memory leaks (Emanuele Giaquinta).
29 - fix debian bug #504817, to the extent possible.
30 - try to detect byte order at compile time, seems to work around weird linking
31 errors on freebsd (seems to have trouble with static member variables) - also
32 saves a coupel of hudnred bytes, if your compiler is smart enough.
33
349.10 Mon Dec 13 17:43:52 CET 2010
35 - the "schmorp=north korea dickey=south korea" release.
36 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: make OSC 20 simpler and more correct
37 (Emanuele Giaquinta).
38 - if options were compiled out, this could lead to the option
39 count to be defined wrongly. This is likely behind the
40 failures with gcc 4.5.
41 - explicitly depend on fontconfig and xrender when xft support
42 is enabled. Although the public Xft api uses types from
43 both, in Xft 2.2.0 these libs are private
44 dependencies only thanks to an idiotic behaviour of
45 pkg-config that was added to workaround cases like this one.
46 Fixes linking when using GNU ld with --as-needed or GNU gold
47 (based on patch by Jan Palus).
48 - fix minor memory leaks in urxvt and urxvtd.
49 - fix regression in urxvtd that prevented options from being correctly
50 set (reported by Michal Vaner).
51 - implement xterm's horribly broken 1005 mouse reporting mode,
52 and an alternative 1015 mode that works in non-utf-8 locales
53 and has fewer limitations.
54 - fix a possible bug where mouse notifications didn't work after
55 startup for the upper left corner.
56 - implement our own pixbuf to pixmap rendering to get rid of
57 dependency on buggy gdk-pixbuf-xlib. Only truecolor visuals
58 are supported (Emanuele Giaquinta).
59 - apply tinting before shading when both operations are requested.
60 Previously they were intermixed when lightening and the result
61 was inaccurate and confusing. Note that now a black tint yields a
62 completely black image, regardless of shading (Emanuele Giaquinta).
63 - avoid spurious redraws of the bg image when bg is transparent or
64 when using 'root' mode (Emanuele Giaquinta).
65 - fix build on XFree86.
66 - dynamically number options according to compiletime requirements.
67 For the extra saved byte. Or so. Yay.
68 - start options at one, not zero. Wastes a bit per terminal. Maybe.
69 saves 50 instruction bytes. Possibly.
70
719.09 Sat Nov 13 01:39:07 CET 2010
72 - NOTICE: this release updates terminfo/termcap.
73 - the bestest release ever.
74 - it was verified that urxvt handles µ and μ correctly.
75 - add support for blending and blurring with XRender (Emanuele Giaquinta).
76 - add support for using gdk-pixbuf as image backend (Emanuele Giaquinta).
77 - cleanup and minor fixes of the image code (Emanuele Giaquinta).
78 - new perl extension "confirm-paste" (Emanuele Giaquinta).
79 - new on_tt_paste perl hook and tt_paste perl binding (Emanuele Giaquinta).
80 - new on_bell perl hook (Emanuele Giaquinta).
81 - searchable-scrollback no longer ignores the first line
82 (Emanuele Giaquinta).
83 - properly set VSTATUS in termios for *BSD (reported by Ed Schouten).
84 - fix utmpx detection on upcoming FreeBSD 9.
85 - Use COMPOUND_TEXT encoding for WM_NAME/WM_ICON_NAME value when it
86 is not fully convertible to STRING (patch by James Cloos).
87 - fix a buffer overflow that would cause wrong key sequences to
88 be generated for numpad keys (introduced in 9.05).
89 - fix definition of sgr0 to work around limitations in luit.
90 - extend ISO 14755 5.4 mode to also print the font name of the
91 characters other than first one in the selected cell
92 (Emanuele Giaquinta).
93 - new iso14755 option to disable ISO 14755 at runtime
94 (Emanuele Giaquinta).
95 - make sure pagewise scrolling scrolls at least one line
96 (found by Mikachu).
97 - remove deprecated OSC 18 / 19 and make OSC 17 / 19 apply to
98 highlightColor / highlightTextColor (Emanuele Giaquinta).
99 - add highlightTextColor resource to change the foreground colour of
100 highlighted characters (Emanuele Giaquinta).
101 - make highlightColor apply also to selected cells with reverse video
102 but not to non selected cells with reverse video (Emanuele Giaquinta).
103 - remove colorRV resource (it was enabled only with frills off).
104 - fix numlock handling, the most longstanding bug to date (Emanuele Giaquinta).
105 - reduce the number of custom bits to 4, to make room
106 for 256 colours.
107 - add support for 256 colors (Emanuele Giaquinta, Marc Lehmann).
108 - add rxvt-unicode-256color terminfo and use it by default in 256 colors mode.
109 - update rxvt-unicode terminfo to state 7744 colour pairs to cover all
110 88*88 possible pairs.
111 - actually added macosx-clipboard-native, which should have been in
112 the 9.07 release but had been forgotten.
113 - fix hang if DECAWM is not set and there are not enough columns to insert a
114 character (Emanuele Giaquinta).
115 - cub1 ("backspace") will now respect wrapping when past the rightmost column,
116 working around a shortcoming of most tty line discipline's line editing.
117 - add support for grabbing the clipboard selection and extend
118 selection{_clear,_grab,} perl bindings to optionally work
119 on the clipboard selection (based on patch by Dana Jansens).
120 - no longer force CERASE to BACKSPACE - use the system default. affects
121 default value for VERASE only when no compatible setting for
122 backspacekey was given.
123 - use higher than 38400 baudrate setting, if detected.
124 - erase screen would clear to the wrong background when blinking
125 was enabled (which selects high intensity under some circumstances).
126 - scr_kill_char didn't touch the line.
127 - upgrade and port to libev-4.01.
128 - enabled solaris event ports and kqueue backends (if available).
129
1309.07 Wed Dec 30 07:07:18 CET 2009
131 - port to glibc-2.10 changes (strchr etc. returning const char *
132 in C++), based on patches by Milos Jakubicek and Oliver Mader.
133 - the binary search algorithm to find precomposed characters
134 was faulty, skipping some possible combinations (found by
135 Mikachu).
136 - new -letterspace option, patch by Mark H. Wilkinson.
137 - enable --mlock option for urxvt with frills on
138 systems supporting it (patch by Russell Harmon).
139 - urxvt did not compile without frills enabled
140 (analysed by Matthew Rosewarne).
141 - correctly reset the mbstate after an illegal
142 input sequence when handling terminal output (Emanuele Giaquinta).
143 - avoid redrawing wide characters with combining enabled on every
144 refresh (reported by Mikachu).
145 - fix a typo preventing the ISO-646.1991 character set from being
146 recognized (http://achurch.org/patch-pile/).
147 - better warning for x11 font encoding detection failures, also,
148 try to deduce encoding from both font properties and name
149 (adapted from http://achurch.org/patch-pile/).
150 - resizing the window with the scrollbar disabled via the escapes
151 sequence could make the window bigger again (Mikachu).
152 - make sure the alignment for fd passing control messages
153 is correct and work around some NetBSD issues (Taylor R Campbell).
154 - update to libptytty 1.3.
155 - replace macosx-clipboard by a nicer version by Reza Jelveh, and move
156 the old version to macosx-clipboard-native.
157 - document the -uc option (Emanuele Giaquinta).
158 - assertions in libev are now enabled depending on frills.
159 - update AnyEvent implementation to version 5.23 API.
160 - work around arrogant bsd idiocies again: netbsd spills the default
161 namespace with lots of symbols "for gnu/gcc compatibility" even
162 though neither of them does it, and then calls the rest of the world
163 in need of fixing. go figure.
164 - on_keyboard_command is on_user_command (patch by Michael Witten).
165 - setting the selection from perl will now reset the selection screen
166 to the current screen. the screen can be manipulated using
167 the new ->selection_screen method.
168 - implement --enable-assert configure option and get rid of DEBUG_STRICT
169 (based on patch by Emanuele Giaquinta).
170 - fix printpipe data output (patch by Emanuele Giaquinta).
171 - allow `xxx' quoting style for perl selection.
172 - upgrade to libev-3.9 prerelease.
173 - updated compose tables to unicode 5.2.0.
174
1759.06 Sat Nov 8 17:47:18 CET 2008
176 - NOTICE: this release updates terminfo/termcap.
177 - updates libev to 3.48.
178 - the aterm code now frees the as visual and image manager objects
179 when a window was closed.
180 - do not (wrongly) adjust the virtual line length inside
181 scr_insdel_chars/ERASE (Miroslav Lichvar).
182 - fix an issue where wide tab characters caused character shifts
183 when part of them was deleted (tracked down by Miroslav Lichvar).
184 - artificially enlargen the previous character at the end of a line
185 when trying to output a character that doesn't fit. looks ugly, but
186 makes copy&paste work.
187 - remove bogus "setuid/setgid security issues" from rxvt.1.pod, they
188 no longer apply.
189 - the urgency hint is now cleared on both focus in and focus out.
190 - cache urgency hint locally to avoid server rtt on every focus change.
191 - perl 5.10 needs PERL_SYS_INIT3 on hppa.
192 - ignore byte-order marks and do not treat them like combining characters.
193 - fix build issue when CURSOR_BLINK is not defined (Emanuele Giaquinta).
194 - do some µ-optimisations to the character fast path.
195 - use a less cunning, but more robust algorithm to avoid one terminal
196 monopolising the whole process by outputting a lot of text.
197 - try to work around linux first breaking sched_yield and now breaking
198 the only known workaround.
199 - new option -icon to set _NET_WM_ICON (based on patch by Frank Schmitt).
200 - initialise the as visual only on demand, instead of unconditionally,
201 to save memory in the common case of not using visual gimmicks.
202 - try to work around bugs in a few wm's that erroneously resize
203 client windows on hint property updates by temporarily
204 disabling size hints.
205 - implement the DECSTR soft reset sequence and use it for tput init,
206 and make hard RIS and DECSTR both reset more private modes, such
207 as mouse reporting.
208 - redundantly clear mouse reporting and a few other states in
209 tput init/tput reset, for older urxvts.
210 - partial/full clear screens did cause flickering and possibly pixel
211 droppings when urxvt viewed the scrollback buffer.
212 - use current rendition style in DCH sequence.
213 - the 132/80 mode switch no longer forces a screen reset.
214 - add an osc sequence to change the border colour (Emanuele Giaquinta).
215 - new perl extension "overlay-osc", for status displays and the like.
216 - fix some minor cursor drawing issues with overlays by allowing
217 overlays to modify screen flags (to disable the cursor themselves).
218 - work around programs not restoring rstyle before rmcup
219 (analysed by Miroslav Lichvar).
220
2219.05 Sun Jun 15 20:09:20 CEST 2008
222 - new option --cd/chdir to set the starting working directory.
223 - tabbed extension now starts in the "correct" working directory.
224 - work around fedora 9 providing isastream but not the relevant
225 header file for it (report by Tuncer Ayaz).
226 - upgrade libev, fixing a bug in the select backend.
227 with more than 31 file descriptors on non-linux 64 bit systems.
228 - correctly reset the multibyte state to the initial one
229 after EILSEQ (patch by Neil Booth). This fixes the
230 issue of rxvt-unicode not properly displaying text after an illegal
231 sequence on NetBSD and probably other systems.
232 - more intelligent property handling with -pe tabbed, works around
233 broken window managers (kwm et al.), saves bandwidth and should
234 help working window managers as well.
235 - made tabs moveable (based on a patch by Petr Machata).
236 - implement ESC [ 3 K as a more rational alternative to ESC [ 0 K.
237 - support relative paths for RXVT_SOCKET in urxvtd.
238 - the tabbed extension now blindly copies over all (rxvt-) resources
239 from the toplevel window to the children.
240 - better diagnostic on 0x0 window geometries.
241 - update AnyEvent API to version 3.4 and above.
242 - document the default value of :0 for DISPLAY.
243 - rename perl method XChangeWindowProperty to XChangeProperty.
244
2459.02 Tue Jan 29 11:58:36 CET 2008
246 - the "exg makes everybody happy" release.
247 - fix build with !xft.
248 - always compile in plain style scrollbar (simplifies code and looks great).
249
2509.01 Sat Jan 26 20:49:27 CET 2008
251 - be more aggressive about handling X events, this seems to be required
252 with newer xlibs (should fix the "screen stays black until event is
253 received" problem, again :)
254 - add buffered resource to control xft double-buffering.
255
2569.0 Fri Jan 25 19:34:04 CET 2008
257 - fix a crash bug where urxvtd would crash when urxvtc was called
258 with wrong arguments (I wish debian maintainers in general would
259 report bugs and their proposed fixes to the original package maintainers
260 instead of sitting on them for good measure to see if anybody notices).
261 - drawing xft compose characters was causing garbage to be drawn.
262 - correctly clear xft character background in all cases.
263 - implement bracketed paste mode (xterm private mode 2004).
264 - improve documentation on alpha channel handling, make urxvt
265 work better on servers lacking the RENDER extension when alpha
266 channels or background images are used.
267 - check for refresh after initialising to avoid staying blank
268 till the first event arrives. or so.
269 - the FORCE_UNBUFFERED_XFT feature macro works again.
270 - continuously update transparency while moving/resizing now.
271 - OSC 39/49 are deprecated and aliased to OSC 10/11.
272 - cub1 now acts as advertised (and ignores the "wrapped" state).
273 - the 132/80 mode switch now forces a height of 24, too, and
274 resets the terminal.
275 - scrollbar code cleanups.
276 - stopping children is no longer confused with children exiting.
277 - removed (undocumented) #aarrggbb format.
278 - updated to libev 3.0.
279
2808.9 Mon Dec 24 07:51:40 CET 2007
281 - fix the issue where urxvtd would not immediately close a window
282 when the command exited but only on the next X event.
283 - changed terminfo file not to use application keypad mode.
284 - fix the issue where making a selection in one urxvtd window
285 would not clear it visually in another.
286 - fix an issue of urxvt not getting background pixmap updates
287 and flickering after bg pixmap changes (reported by Mikachu).
288 - fix redraw bug in xterm scrollbar with -sr (reported by Mikachu).
289 - correctly provide dependencies for libev (µikachu).
290 - minor code reorganisations and cleanups.
291 - be more robust in case the urxvt-popup extension cannot be loaded.
292
2938.8 Sat Dec 15 19:40:39 CET 2007
294 - option -C was aliased to all unsupported options, activating
295 options that shouldn't be compiled in, leading to interesting
296 effects.
297 - updated libev, working around a bug in linux 2.4, curing the
298 symptom of urxvt not closing its window on shell exit. also
299 fixes a problem with urxvt not refreshing.
300 - the text blink callback was called even when no blinking
301 text was visible.
302 - pre-8.4 slipwheeling behaviour has been reinstated, with
303 some minor improvements.
304 - streamlined x events processing to only flush once per
305 display and not once per terminal window.
306 - quite a bit of minor code cleanups and codesize optimisations.
307
3088.7 Sun Nov 25 10:23:49 CET 2007
309 - update libev with an important bugfix that would cause crashes
310 when closing windows (when using rxvtd, and update is recommended).
311 - do not compile in the block builtin graphics with --disable-frills.
312
3138.6 Fri Nov 23 14:10:57 CET 2007
314 - upgrade libev to disable kqueue on anything but netbsd as it
315 seems to be broken everywhere else w.r.t. ptys.
316 - allow for spurious event notifications, as at least epoll and
317 especially solaris ports like to lie about them (symptoms:
318 urxvt "hangs" until there is some x11 related activity).
319 - -keysym command line options are now subjected to xlib parsing.
320 - add 'xrm' option analogous to Xt one.
321
3228.5a Wed Nov 21 10:16:33 CET 2007
323 - make it compile with --disable-transparency.
324
3258.5 Wed Nov 21 05:19:20 CET 2007
326 - expect major portability issues in this release: please test and report.
327 - converted from the veritable io manager event loop to
328 the high performance libev (http://software.schmorp.de/pkg/libev).
329 - minor tuning to the perl selection (include single words and more quoting chars).
330 - fix memory leak in pixmap code.
331 - fix a serious bug while setting the XIM destroy callback
332 on (typical) 64 bit systems.
333 - automove-background functionality re-implemented internally using :root op in pixmap
334 geometry string. For example: rxvt -pixmap "image.jpg;:root"
335 - do not link rxvtc against every lib on the planet anymore.
336 - parallel builds should work once more.
337
3388.4 Sat Oct 27 14:02:13 CEST 2007
339 - overhaul of the transparency/pixmap code (sasha).
340 - fix possible race between visual bell and poweron.
341 (reported by Martin von Gagern, gentoo?).
342 - urxvt -e no longer crashes the child.
343 - fixed some minor memleaks on incorrect usage or
344 missing DISPLAY.
345 - implement xterm 1002/1003 mouse tracking modes (exg).
346 - source code organisational cleanups (exg).
347 - updated io_manager.
348
3498.3 Wed Aug 1 20:21:31 CEST 2007
350 - new option: skipScroll/-ss, enabled by default.
351 - go with the times and expect x11 library files in /usr/lib, not
352 /usr/X11R6/lib.
353 - initial transparency improvement/afterimage support
354 patch by Sasha Vasko.
355 - add urgentOnBell resource to set the urgency hint
356 (patch by Philip Paeps).
357 - do not process focus events caused by grabs
358 (patch by Mikachu).
359 - add iso14755_52 resource to disable iso14755 5.2 (exg).
360 - add binding for backspace in iso14755 5.1 to remove the last
361 digit (exg).
362 - better option handling, support more than 30 options (exg).
363 - nuke reconf script, serves no purpose anymore.
364 - fixed and documented matcher/on_user_command processing in matcher
365 extension (tpope).
366 - compile out of the box on Solaris 10 (exg).
367 - fix MappingNotify events (reported by Stephan Walter).
368 - zero-initialise mwmhints, this seems to solve all sorts of minor
369 problems.
370
3718.2 Sat Feb 17 21:35:28 CET 2007
372 - fix make depend in src/, reported by exg.
373 - fixed typo in urxvt::GET_CUSTOM, causing the result to be wrong.
374 (patch by Sergey Vlasov).
375 - unbundled iom perl interface somewhat.
376 - scrollbar-xterm now uses the selected scrollColor instead of fg
377 (found by Aiviru).
378 - disabled linux kernel bug workaround again: disabling it gives
379 a 50% speed hit on affected machines, while enabling it gives
380 a similar speed hit to screen, which is likely the more common
381 case to work around for :/
382 - urxvt::rend2mask perl function, and utilization of it by matcher
383 (patch by Moshe Kamensky).
384 - use perl:matcher on a keysym to open most recently displayed URL.
385 - with matcher, when multiple patterns match, last wins, not first.
386 - fix make and make install with srcdir != builddir (exg).
387 - updated bundled libptytty to fix a bug where the tty would be kept
388 open (see the libptytty ChangeLog for details).
389 - delay setting the IUTF8 flag to after the tty settings have been
390 set so its value does not get lost (reported and analysed by Andrei
391 Paskevich).
392 - rip out support for obsolete sgtty.h interface.
393 - rip out support for non-POSIX termios variants.
394 - update libptytty.
395 - update iom.C, make it call ptytty::sanitise_stdfd on init.
396 - when !XFT, change rounding of colours to use a less correct formula to
397 meet user expectancies (#aaa becomes #a000a000a000 not #9f9f9f9f9f9f).
398 - change the starting offset of the pixmap set with backgroundPixmap
399 from (50,50) to (0,0) (exg).
400 - fix a typo in button_release, now meta-button2 request the value of
401 the Clipboard selection as it should (patch by Serge Koksharov).
402 - fix a bug in drawing a cell with a nonspacing char when using an xft
403 font with inheritPixmap and tintColor (exg).
404
4058.1 Thu Dec 7 22:27:25 CET 2006
406 - ケリスマスプレゼント - zomg!!1, it's too early!!!
407 - fix the assumption that chars < 256 are single-width. Now
408 only assume this for codepoints 32 to 126 (reported by Dai.H.).
409 - $term->strwidth returned wide chars as width 1, because some jerk
410 confused min and max. Fixing this also fixes xim-onthespot.
411 Reported by Takano Akio.
412 - secondaryScroll is now enabled by default (as per the manpage),
413 reported by exg.
414 - correct the description of [percent]color rgba format in the manpage.
415 - incorporated macosx-clipboard extension by Samuel Ljungkvist.
416 - ignore (some) useless focus events (reported by mmc).
417 - updated compose table to unicode 5.0.0.
418
4198.0 Thu Nov 2 18:35:19 CET 2006
420 - combining characters cleared the area instead of creating an overlay,
421 thus losing the ability to draw combining characters properly in most
422 circumstances (reported by exg).
423 - specified fonts were incorrectly morphed to bold/italic according to the
424 basefont, even if explicitly specified (tracked down by tpope).
425 - fixed urxvt::strwidth to calculate width in the same way as screen.C.
426 - fix a crash caused by passing negative widths to overlay functions.
427 - added 'matcher' extension by tpope, replacing the mark-urls extension.
428 - improve url regex to match anything www.* (tpope).
429 - fixed bug with outline cursor color being wrong after xft fonts.
430 - update to libptytty-1.0.
431 - give proper diagnostic when RXVT_SOCKET is too long instead of
432 corrupting the stack (patch by exg).
433 - display current terminal locale in option menu.
434 - urxvtd no longer crashes when the client sends an inaccessible
435 working directory (reported by Roland Baer, possibly fixes gentoo
436 bug #143985).
437 - fixed many minor issues reported by Roland Baer.
438 - Leonid Khramov spotted a minor glitch in rxvtfont.C that
439 should not have any consequences, but was buggy nonetheless.
440 - manpage fix by exg.
441
4427.9 Mon Aug 7 18:16:07 CEST 2006
443 - fix the crashing bug people encountered with 7.8 + urxvtd + perl
444 + transparency. Ought to fix debian bug #380348.
445 - fix urxvtc.1.pod: it actually claimed -pty-fd would not work. But
446 it does! :->
447 - rxvt_fatal() in case the locale string is too long for our static buffer.
448 - fixed many, many, typos in the manpages (patch supplied by ves).
449
4507.8 Mon Jul 17 21:00:46 CEST 2006
451 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: this version will always read ~/.Xdefaults,
452 earlier versions only read it if display-resources (usually from
453 .Xresources) are not set. This avoids the #1 FAQ ("why isn't my
454 resource used") and seems to be logical behaviour, too. .Xdefaults
455 resources have a lower priority than display-specific resources.
456 - add "kuake" perl extension that does a similar thing to the kuake
457 terminal emulator (see man urxvtperl).
458 - use less "correct" color scaling that is compatible with libX11 and
459 Xft (avoids off-by-one colors resulting in striped backgrounds).
460 - the "depth" resource is now respected.
461 - preset the searchable-scrollback pattern with "(?i)" to default search
462 to case-insensitivity. Will automatically be cleared when typing an
463 uppercase character.
464 - add FORCE_UNBUFFERED_XFT define to features.h.
465 - re-enabled highlightcolor support with --enable-frills, based on
466 a patch by Martin Stubenschrott.
467 - double-buffered xft drawing did suffer from pixel offset issues
468 when pixmap transparency was enabled.
469 - strategically add # to the url-match regexes, as we really want to
470 match common URIs not common URLs. Reported by Aaron Griffin.
471 - moved on_osc_seq to on_osc_seq_perl and added a more
472 generic osc_seq.
473 - fix a bug causing double callback invocations when perl hooks
474 were invoked recursively.
475 - the automove-background extension now properly works when the
476 pixmap gets reset with an osc sequence (sqweek).
477 - selection-pastebin did not work properly with non-latin1-characters.
478 - apply colorUL only when the text colour is the default fg
479 (patch by Wu Fengguang).
480 - removed rxvtlib.h from the tarball, it had no reason to be there
481 (spotted by Decklin Foster).
482 - fix compiling with TRANSPARENT but !XPM_BACKGROUND, as reported
483 by omatunto_.
484 - slap in a using namespace std, might help on platforms that don't
485 follow C++ closely enough.
486 - fix mailto url regex, spotted within milliseconds by Jost Krieger.
487 - applied fade_color_update_func.patch by WU Fengguang.
488 - fix a bug where (due to an optimisation in av_delete), hiding the
489 bottom-most overlay would hide two overlays.
