26TODO: artificially enlargen wide characters at end to correctly cut&paste.
27TODO: cursor over overlays, when focus change?
28 - remove bogus "setuid/setgid security issues" from rxvt.1.pod, they
29 no longer apply.
30 - the urgency hint is now cleared on both focus in and focus out.
31 - cache urgency hint locally to avoid server rtt on every focus change.
32 - perl 5.10 needs PERL_SYS_INIT3 on hppa.
33 - ignore byte-order marks and do not treat them like combining characters.
34 - fix build issue when CURSOR_BLINK is not defined (Emanuele Giaquinta).
35 - do some µ-optimisations to the character fast path.
36 - use a less cunning, but more robust algorithm to avoid one terminal
37 monopolising the whole process by outputting a lot of text.
38 - try to work around linux first breaking sched_yield and now breaking
39 the only known workaround.
40 - new option -icon, resource iconFile (based on patch by Frank Schmitt).
41
429.05 Sun Jun 15 20:09:20 CEST 2008
43 - new option --cd/chdir to set the starting working directory.
44 - tabbed extension now starts in the "correct" working directory.
45 - work around fedora 9 providing isastream but not the relevant
46 header file for it (report by Tuncer Ayaz).
47 - upgrade libev, fixing a bug in the select backend
48 with more than 31 file descriptors on non-linux 64 bit systems.
49 - correctly reset the multibyte state to the initial one
50 after EILSEQ (patch by Neil Booth). This fixes the
51 issue of rxvt-unicode not properly displaying text after an illegal
52 sequence on NetBSD and probably other systems.
53 - more intelligent property handling with -pe tabbed, works around
54 broken window managers (kwm et al.), saves bandwidth and should
55 help working window managers as well.
56 - made tabs moveable (based on a patch by Petr Machata).
57 - implement ESC [ 3 K as a more rational alternative to ESC [ 0 K.
58 - support relative paths for RXVT_SOCKET in urxvtd.
59 - the tabbed extension now blindly copies over all (rxvt-) resources
60 from the toplevel window to the children.
61 - better diagnostic on 0x0 window geometries.
62 - update AnyEvent API to version 3.4 and above.
63 - document the default value of :0 for DISPLAY.
64 - rename perl method XChangeWindowProperty to XChangeProperty.
65
669.02 Tue Jan 29 11:58:36 CET 2008
67 - the "exg makes everybody happy" release.
68 - fix build with !xft.
69 - always compile in plain style scrollbar (simplifies code and looks great).
70
719.01 Sat Jan 26 20:49:27 CET 2008
72 - be more aggressive about handling X events, this seems to be required
73 with newer xlibs (should fix the "screen stays black until event is
74 received" problem, again :)
75 - add buffered resource to control xft double-buffering.
76
779.0 Fri Jan 25 19:34:04 CET 2008
78 - fix a crash bug where urxvtd would crash when urxvtc was called
79 with wrong arguments (I wish debian maintainers in general would
80 report bugs and their proposed fixes to the original package maintaienrs
81 instead of sitting on them for good measure to see if anybody notices).
82 - drawing xft compose characters was causing garbage to be drawn.
83 - correctly clear xft character background in all cases.
84 - implement bracketed paste mode (xterm private mode 2004).
85 - improve documentation on alpha channel handling, make urxvt
86 work better on servers lacking the RENDER extension when alpha
87 channels or background images are used.
88 - check for refresh after initialising to avoid staying blank
89 till the first event arrives. or so.
90 - the FORCE_UNBUFFERED_XFT feature macro works again.
91 - continuously update transparency while moving/resizing now.
92 - OSC 39/49 are deprecated and aliased to OSC 10/11.
93 - cub1 now acts as advertised (and ignores the "wrapped" state).
94 - the 132/80 mode switch now forces a height of 24, too, and
95 resets the terminal.
96 - scrollbar code cleanups.
97 - stopping children is no longer confused with children exiting.
98 - removed (undocumented) #aarrggbb format.
99 - updated to libev 3.0.
100
1018.9 Mon Dec 24 07:51:40 CET 2007
102 - fix the issue where urxvtd would not immediately close a window
103 when the command exited but only on the next X event.
104 - changed terminfo file not to use application keypad mode.
105 - fix the issue where making a selection in one urxvtd window
106 would not clear it visually in another.
107 - fix an issue of urxvt not getting background pixmap updates
108 and flickering after bg pixmap changes (reported by Mikachu).
109 - fix redraw bug in xterm scrollbar with -sr (reported by Mikachu).
110 - correctly provide dependencies for libev (µikachu).
111 - minor code reorganisations and cleanups.
112 - be more robust in case the urxvt-popup extension cannot be loaded.
113
1148.8 Sat Dec 15 19:40:39 CET 2007
115 - option -C was aliased to all unsupported options, activating
116 options that shouldn't be compiled in, leading to interesting
117 effects.
118 - updated libev, working around a bug in linux 2.4, curing the
119 symptom of urxvt not closing its window on shell exit. also
120 fixes a problem with urxvt not refreshing.
121 - the text blink callback was called even when no blinking
122 text was visible.
123 - pre-8.4 slipwheeling behaviour has been reinstated, with
124 some minor improvements.
125 - streamlined x events processing to only flush once per
126 display and not once per terminal window.
127 - quite a bit of minor code cleanups and codesize optimisations.
128
1298.7 Sun Nov 25 10:23:49 CET 2007
130 - update libev with an important bugfix that would cause crashes
131 when closing windows (when using rxvtd, and update is recommended).
132 - do not compile in the block builtin graphics with --disable-frills.
133
1348.6 Fri Nov 23 14:10:57 CET 2007
135 - upgrade libev to disable kqueue on anything but netbsd as it
136 seems to be broken everywhere else w.r.t. ptys.
137 - allow for spurious event notifications, as at least epoll and
138 especially solaris ports like to lie about them (symptoms:
139 urxvt "hangs" until there is some x11 related activity).
140 - -keysym command line options are now subjected to xlib parsing.
141 - add 'xrm' option analogous to Xt one.
142
1438.5a Wed Nov 21 10:16:33 CET 2007
144 - make it compile with --disable-transparency.
145
1468.5 Wed Nov 21 05:19:20 CET 2007
147 - expect major portability issues in this release: please test and report.
148 - converted from the veritable io manager event loop to
149 the high performance libev (http://software.schmorp.de/pkg/libev).
150 - minor tuning to the perl selection (include single words and more quoting chars).
151 - fix memory leak in pixmap code.
152 - fix a serious bug while setting the XIM destroy callback
153 on (typical) 64 bit systems.
154 - automove-background functionality re-implemented internaly using :root op in pixmap
155 geometry string. For example: rxvt -pixmap "image.jpg;:root"
156 - do not link rxvtc against every lib on the planet anymore.
157 - parallel builds should work once more.
158
1598.4 Sat Oct 27 14:02:13 CEST 2007
160 - overhaul of the transparency/pixmap code (sasha).
161 - fix possible race betwen visual bell and poweron.
162 (reported by Martin von Gagern, gentoo?).
163 - urxvt -e no longer crashes the child.
164 - fixed some minor memleaks on incorrect usage or
165 missing DISPLAY.
166 - implement xterm 1002/1003 mouse tracking modes (exg).
167 - source code organisational cleanups (exg).
168 - updated io_manager.
169
1708.3 Wed Aug 1 20:21:31 CEST 2007
171 - new option: skipScroll/-ss, enabled by default.
172 - go with the times and expect x11 library files in /usr/lib, not
173 /usr/X11R6/lib.
174 - initial transparency improvement/afterimage support
175 patch by Sasha Vasko.
176 - add urgentOnBell resource to set the urgency hint
177 (patch by Philip Paeps).
178 - do not process focus events caused by grabs
179 (patch by Mikachu).
180 - add iso14755_52 resource to disable iso14755 5.2 (exg).
181 - add binding for backspace in iso14755 5.1 to remove the last
182 digit (exg).
183 - better option handling, support more than 30 options (exg).
184 - nuke reconf script, serves no purpose anymore.
185 - fixed and documented matcher/on_user_command processing in matcher
186 extension (tpope).
187 - compile out of the box on Solaris 10 (exg).
188 - fix MappingNotify events (reported by Stephan Walter).
189 - zero-initialise mwmhints, this seems to solve all sorts of minor
190 problems.
191
1928.2 Sat Feb 17 21:35:28 CET 2007
193 - fix make depend in src/, reported by exg.
194 - fixed typo in urxvt::GET_CUSTOM, causing the result to be wrong.
195 (patch by Sergey Vlasov).
196 - unbundled iom perl interface somewhat.
197 - scrollbar-xterm now uses the selected scrollColor instead of fg
198 (found by Aiviru).
199 - disabled linux kernel bug workaround again: disabling it gives
200 a 50% speed hit on affected machines, while enabling it gives
201 a similar speed hit to screen, which is likely the more common
202 case to work around for :/
203 - urxvt::rend2mask perl function, and utilization of it by matcher
204 (patch by Moshe Kamensky).
205 - use perl:matcher on a keysym to open most recently displayed URL.
206 - with matcher, when multiple patterns match, last wins, not first.
207 - fix make and make install with srcdir != builddir (exg).
208 - updated bundled libptytty to fix a bug where the tty would be kept
209 open (see the libptytty ChangeLog for details).
210 - delay setting the IUTF8 flag to after the tty settings have been
211 set so its value does not get lost (reported and analysed by Andrei
212 Paskevich).
213 - rip out support for obsolete sgtty.h interface.
214 - rip out support for non-POSIX termios variants.
215 - update libptytty.
216 - update iom.C, make it call ptytty::sanitise_stdfd on init.
217 - when !XFT, change rounding of colours to use a less correct formula to
218 meet user expectancies (#aaa becomes #a000a000a000 not #9f9f9f9f9f9f).
219 - change the starting offset of the pixmap set with backgroundPixmap
220 from (50,50) to (0,0) (exg).
221 - fix a typo in button_release, now meta-button2 request the value of
222 the Clipboard selection as it should (patch by Serge Koksharov).
223 - fix a bug in drawing a cell with a nonspacing char when using an xft
224 font with inheritPixmap and tintColor (exg).
225
2268.1 Thu Dec 7 22:27:25 CET 2006
227 - ケリスマスプレゼント - zomg!!1, it's too early!!!
228 - fix the assumption that chars < 256 are single-width. Now
229 only assume this for codepoints 32 to 126 (reported by Dai.H.).
230 - $term->strwidth returned wide chars as width 1, because some jerk
231 confused min and max. Fixing this also fixes xim-onthespot.
232 Reported by Takano Akio.
233 - secondaryScroll is now enabled by default (as per the manpage),
234 reported by exg.
235 - correct the description of [percent]color rgba format in the manpage.
236 - incorporated macosx-clipboard extension by Samuel Ljungkvist.
237 - ignore (some) useless focus events (reported by mmc).
238 - updated compose table to unicode 5.0.0.
239
2408.0 Thu Nov 2 18:35:19 CET 2006
241 - combining characters cleared the area instead of creating an overlay,
242 thus losing the ability to draw combining characters properly in most
243 circumstances (reported by exg).
244 - specified fonts were incorrectly morphed to bold/italic according to the
245 basefont, even if explicitly specified (tracked down by tpope).
246 - fixed urxvt::strwidth to calculate width in the same way as screen.C.
247 - fix a crash caused by passing negative widths to overlay functions.
248 - added 'matcher' extension by tpope, replacing the mark-urls extension.
249 - improve url regex to match anything www.* (tpope).
250 - fixed bug with outline cursor color being wrong after xft fonts.
251 - update to libptytty-1.0.
252 - give proper diagnostic when RXVT_SOCKET is too long instead of
253 corrupting the stack (patch by exg).
254 - display current terminal locale in option menu.
255 - urxvtd no longer crashes when the client sends an inaccessible
256 working directory (reported by Roland Baer, possibly fixes gentoo
257 bug #143985).
258 - fixed many minor issues reported by Roland Baer.
259 - Leonid Khramov spotted a minor glitch in rxvtfont.C that
260 should not have any consequences, but was buggy nonetheless.
261 - manpage fix by exg.
262
2637.9 Mon Aug 7 18:16:07 CEST 2006
264 - fix the crashing bug people encountered with 7.8 + urxvtd + perl
265 + transparency. Ought to fix debian bug #380348.
266 - fix urxvtc.1.pod: it actually claimed -pty-fd would not work. But
267 it does! :->
268 - rxvt_fatal() in case the locale string is too long for our static buffer.
269 - fixed many, many, typos in the manpages (patch supplied by ves).
270
2717.8 Mon Jul 17 21:00:46 CEST 2006
272 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: this version will always read ~/.Xdefaults,
273 earlier versions only read it if display-resources (usually from
274 .Xresources) are not set. This avoids the #1 FAQ ("why isn't my
275 resource used") and seems to be logical behaviour, too. .Xdefaults
276 resources have a lower priority than display-specific resources.
277 - add "kuake" perl extension that does a similar thing to the kuake
278 terminal emulator (see man urxtvperl).
279 - use less "correct" color scaling that is compatible with libX11 and
280 Xft (avoids off-by-one colors resulting in striped backgrounds).
281 - the "depth" resource is now respected.
282 - preset the searchable-scrollback pattern with "(?i)" to default search
283 to case-insensitivity. Will automatically be cleared when typing an
284 uppercase character.
23 - add FORCE_UNBUFFERED_XFT define to features.h. 285 - add FORCE_UNBUFFERED_XFT define to features.h.
286 - re-enabled highlightcolor support with --enable-frills, based on
287 a patch by Martin Stubenschrott.
24 - double-buffered xft drawing did suffer from pixel offset issues 288 - double-buffered xft drawing did suffer from pixel offset issues
25 when pixmap transparency was enabled. 289 when pixmap transparency was enabled.
290 - strategically add # to the url-match regexes, as we really want to
291 match common URIs not common URLs. Reported by Aaron Griffin.
26 - moved on_osc_seq to on_osc_seq_perl and added a more 292 - moved on_osc_seq to on_osc_seq_perl and added a more

32 - selection-pastebin did not work properly with non-latin1-characters. 298 - selection-pastebin did not work properly with non-latin1-characters.
299 - apply colorUL only when the text colour is the default fg
300 (patch by Wu Fengguang).
301 - removed rxvtlib.h from the tarball, it had no reason to be there
302 (spotted by Decklin Foster).
303 - fix compiling with TRANSPARENT but !XPM_BACKGROUND, as reported
304 by omatunto_.
305 - slap in a using namespace std, might help on platforms that don't
306 follow C++ closely enough.
307 - fix mailto url regex, spotted within milliseconds by Jost Krieger.
308 - applied fade_color_update_func.patch by WU Fengguang.
309 - fix a bug where (due to an optimisation in av_delete), hiding the
310 bottom-most overlay would hide two overlays.
