26TODO: implement smartcase-like search in searchable-scrollback 25
27TODO: digital clock gets nuked after searching 26TODO: implement initial chdir for tabs by making it a resource?
28TODO: investigate the color-management patch send ages ago, as well as other postings 27 - work around fedore 9 prividing isastream but not the relevant
28 header file for it (report by Tuncer Ayaz).
29 - upgrade to libev-3.31, fixing a bug in the select backend
30 with more than 31 file descriptors on non-linux 64 bit systems.
31 - correctly reset the multibyte state to the initial one
32 after EILSEQ (patch by Neil Booth). This fixes the
33 issue of rxvt-unicode not properly displaying text after an illegal
34 sequence on NetBSD and probably other systems.
35 - made tabs moveable (based on a patch by Petr Machata).
36 - support relative paths for RXVT_SOCKET in urxvtd.
37 - better diagnostic on 0x0 window geometries.
38 - update Anyevent API to version 3.4 and above.
39 - document the default value of :0 for DISPLAY.
40
419.02 Tue Jan 29 11:58:36 CET 2008
42 - the "exg makes everybody happy" release.
43 - fix build with !xft.
44 - always compile in plain style scrollbar (simplifies code and looks great).
45
469.01 Sat Jan 26 20:49:27 CET 2008
47 - be more aggressive about handling X events, this seems to be required
48 with newer xlibs (should fix the "screen stays black until event is
49 received" problem, again :)
50 - add buffered resource to control xft double-buffering.
51
529.0 Fri Jan 25 19:34:04 CET 2008
53 - fix a crash bug where urxvtd would crash when urxvtc was called
54 with wrong arguments (I wish debian maintainers in general would
55 report bugs and their proposed fixes to the original package maintaienrs
56 instead of sitting on them for good measure to see if anybody notices).
57 - drawing xft compose characters was causing garbage to be drawn.
58 - correctly clear xft character background in all cases.
59 - implement bracketed paste mode (xterm private mode 2004).
60 - improve documentation on alpha channel handling, make urxvt
61 work better on servers lacking the RENDER extension when alpha
62 channels or background images are used.
63 - check for refresh after initialising to avoid staying blank
64 till the first event arrives. or so.
65 - the FORCE_UNBUFFERED_XFT feature macro works again.
66 - continuously update transparency while moving/resizing now.
67 - OSC 39/49 are deprecated and aliased to OSC 10/11.
68 - cub1 now acts as advertised (and ignores the "wrapped" state).
69 - the 132/80 mode switch now forces a height of 24, too, and
70 resets the terminal.
71 - scrollbar code cleanups.
72 - stopping children is no longer confused with children exiting.
73 - removed (undocumented) #aarrggbb format.
74 - updated to libev 3.0.
75
768.9 Mon Dec 24 07:51:40 CET 2007
77 - fix the issue where urxvtd would not immediately close a window
78 when the command exited but only on the next X event.
79 - changed terminfo file not to use application keypad mode.
80 - fix the issue where making a selection in one urxvtd window
81 would not clear it visually in another.
82 - fix an issue of urxvt not getting background pixmap updates
83 and flickering after bg pixmap changes (reported by Mikachu).
84 - fix redraw bug in xterm scrollbar with -sr (reported by Mikachu).
85 - correctly provide dependencies for libev (µikachu).
86 - minor code reorganisations and cleanups.
87 - be more robust in case the urxvt-popup extension cannot be loaded.
88
898.8 Sat Dec 15 19:40:39 CET 2007
90 - option -C was aliased to all unsupported options, activating
91 options that shouldn't be compiled in, leading to interesting
92 effects.
93 - updated libev, working around a bug in linux 2.4, curing the
94 symptom of urxvt not closing its window on shell exit. also
95 fixes a problem with urxvt not refreshing.
96 - the text blink callback was called even when no blinking
97 text was visible.
98 - pre-8.4 slipwheeling behaviour has been reinstated, with
99 some minor improvements.
100 - streamlined x events processing to only flush once per
101 display and not once per terminal window.
102 - quite a bit of minor code cleanups and codesize optimisations.
103
1048.7 Sun Nov 25 10:23:49 CET 2007
105 - update libev with an important bugfix that would cause crashes
106 when closing windows (when using rxvtd, and update is recommended).
107 - do not compile in the block builtin graphics with --disable-frills.
108
1098.6 Fri Nov 23 14:10:57 CET 2007
110 - upgrade libev to disable kqueue on anything but netbsd as it
111 seems to be broken everywhere else w.r.t. ptys.
112 - allow for spurious event notifications, as at least epoll and
113 especially solaris ports like to lie about them (symptoms:
114 urxvt "hangs" until there is some x11 related activity).
115 - -keysym command line options are now subjected to xlib parsing.
116 - add 'xrm' option analogous to Xt one.
117
1188.5a Wed Nov 21 10:16:33 CET 2007
119 - make it compile with --disable-transparency.
120
1218.5 Wed Nov 21 05:19:20 CET 2007
122 - expect major portability issues in this release: please test and report.
123 - converted from the veritable io manager event loop to
124 the high performance libev (http://software.schmorp.de/pkg/libev).
125 - minor tuning to the perl selection (include single words and more quoting chars).
126 - fix memory leak in pixmap code.
127 - fix a serious bug while setting the XIM destroy callback
128 on (typical) 64 bit systems.
129 - automove-background functionality re-implemented internaly using :root op in pixmap
130 geometry string. For example: rxvt -pixmap "image.jpg;:root"
131 - do not link rxvtc against every lib on the planet anymore.
132 - parallel builds should work once more.
133
1348.4 Sat Oct 27 14:02:13 CEST 2007
135 - overhaul of the transparency/pixmap code (sasha).
136 - fix possible race betwen visual bell and poweron.
137 (reported by Martin von Gagern, gentoo?).
138 - urxvt -e no longer crashes the child.
139 - fixed some minor memleaks on incorrect usage or

154 (patch by Mikachu).
155 - add iso14755_52 resource to disable iso14755 5.2 (exg).
156 - add binding for backspace in iso14755 5.1 to remove the last
157 digit (exg).
158 - better option handling, support more than 30 options (exg).
159 - nuke reconf script, serves no purpose anymore.
160 - fixed and documented matcher/on_user_command processing in matcher
161 extension (tpope).
162 - compile out of the box on Solaris 10 (exg).
163 - fix MappingNotify events (reported by Stephan Walter).
164 - zero-initialise mwmhints, this seems to solve all sorts of minor
165 problems.
166
1678.2 Sat Feb 17 21:35:28 CET 2007
168 - fix make depend in src/, reported by exg.
169 - fixed typo in urxvt::GET_CUSTOM, causing the result to be wrong.
170 (patch by Sergey Vlasov).
171 - unbundled iom perl interface somewhat.
172 - scrollbar-xterm now uses the selected scrollColor instead of fg
173 (found by Aiviru).
174 - disabled linux kernel bug workaround again: disabling it gives
175 a 50% speed hit on affected machines, while enabling it gives
176 a similar speed hit to screen, which is likely the more common
177 case to work around for :/
178 - urxvt::rend2mask perl function, and utilization of it by matcher
179 (patch by Moshe Kamensky).
180 - use perl:matcher on a keysym to open most recently displayed URL.
181 - with matcher, when multiple patterns match, last wins, not first.
182 - fix make and make install with srcdir != builddir (exg).
183 - updated bundled libptytty to fix a bug where the tty would be kept
184 open (see the libptytty ChangeLog for details).
185 - delay setting the IUTF8 flag to after the tty settings have been
186 set so its value does not get lost (reported and analysed by Andrei
187 Paskevich).
188 - rip out support for obsolete sgtty.h interface.
189 - rip out support for non-POSIX termios variants.
190 - update libptytty.
191 - update iom.C, make it call ptytty::sanitise_stdfd on init.
192 - when !XFT, change rounding of colours to use a less correct formula to
193 meet user expectancies (#aaa becomes #a000a000a000 not #9f9f9f9f9f9f).
194 - change the starting offset of the pixmap set with backgroundPixmap
195 from (50,50) to (0,0) (exg).
196 - fix a typo in button_release, now meta-button2 request the value of
197 the Clipboard selection as it should (patch by Serge Koksharov).
198 - fix a bug in drawing a cell with a nonspacing char when using an xft
199 font with inheritPixmap and tintColor (exg).
200
2018.1 Thu Dec 7 22:27:25 CET 2006
202 - ケリスマスプレゼント - zomg!!1, it's too early!!!
203 - fix the assumption that chars < 256 are single-width. Now
204 only assume this for codepoints 32 to 126 (reported by Dai.H.).
205 - $term->strwidth returned wide chars as width 1, because some jerk
206 confused min and max. Fixing this also fixes xim-onthespot.
207 Reported by Takano Akio.
208 - secondaryScroll is now enabled by default (as per the manpage),
209 reported by exg.
210 - correct the description of [percent]color rgba format in the manpage.
211 - incorporated macosx-clipboard extension by Samuel Ljungkvist.
212 - ignore (some) useless focus events (reported by mmc).
213 - updated compose table to unicode 5.0.0.
214
2158.0 Thu Nov 2 18:35:19 CET 2006
216 - combining characters cleared the area instead of creating an overlay,
217 thus losing the ability to draw combining characters properly in most
218 circumstances (reported by exg).
219 - specified fonts were incorrectly morphed to bold/italic according to the
220 basefont, even if explicitly specified (tracked down by tpope).
221 - fixed urxvt::strwidth to calculate width in the same way as screen.C.
222 - fix a crash caused by passing negative widths to overlay functions.
223 - added 'matcher' extension by tpope, replacing the mark-urls extension.
224 - improve url regex to match anything www.* (tpope).
225 - fixed bug with outline cursor color being wrong after xft fonts.
226 - update to libptytty-1.0.
227 - give proper diagnostic when RXVT_SOCKET is too long instead of
228 corrupting the stack (patch by exg).
229 - display current terminal locale in option menu.
230 - urxvtd no longer crashes when the client sends an inaccessible
231 working directory (reported by Roland Baer, possibly fixes gentoo
232 bug #143985).
233 - fixed many minor issues reported by Roland Baer.
234 - Leonid Khramov spotted a minor glitch in rxvtfont.C that
235 should not have any consequences, but was buggy nonetheless.
236 - manpage fix by exg.
237
2387.9 Mon Aug 7 18:16:07 CEST 2006
239 - fix the crashing bug people encountered with 7.8 + urxvtd + perl
240 + transparency. Ought to fix debian bug #380348.
241 - fix urxvtc.1.pod: it actually claimed -pty-fd would not work. But
242 it does! :->
243 - rxvt_fatal() in case the locale string is too long for our static buffer.
244 - fixed many, many, typos in the manpages (patch supplied by ves).
