This avoids the #1 FAQ ("why isn't my + resource used") and seems to be logical behaviour, too. .Xdefaults + resources have a lower priority than display-specific resources. + - use less "correct" color scaling that is compatible with libX11 and + Xft (avoids off-by-one colors resulting in striped backgrounds). + - the "depth" resource is now respected. + - preset the searchable-scrollback pattern with "(?i)" to default search + to case-insensitivity. Will automatically be cleared when typing an + uppercase character. + - add FORCE_UNBUFFERED_XFT define to features.h. + - re-enabled highlightcolor support with --enable-frills, based on + a patch by Martin Stubenschrott. + - double-buffered xft drawing did suffer from pixel offset issues + when pixmap transparency was enabled. + - strategically add # to the url-match regexes, as we really want to + match common URIs not common URLs. Reported by Aaron Griffin. + - moved on_osc_seq to on_osc_seq_perl and added a more + generic osc_seq. + - fix a bug causing double callback invocations when perl hooks + were invoked recursively. + - the automove-background extension now properly works when the + pixmap gets reset with an osc sequence (sqweek). + - selection-pastebin did not work properly with non-latin1-characters. + - apply colorUL only when the text colour is the default fg + (patch by Wu Fengguang). + - removed rxvtlib.h from the tarball, it had no reason to be there + (spotted by Decklin Foster). + - fix compiling with TRANSPARENT but !XPM_BACKGROUND, as reported + by omatunto_. + - slap in a using namespace std, might help on platforms that don't + follow C++ closely enough. + - fix mailto url regex, spotted within milliseconds by Jost Krieger. + - applied fade_color_update_func.patch by WU Fengguang. + - fix a bug where (due to an optimisation in av_delete), hiding the + bottom-most overlay would hide two overlays. + +7.7 Tue Feb 21 12:32:49 CET 2006 + - use double-buffered drawing (xft fonts only). On many driver/hardware + combination this actually increases xft drawing speed, at the expense + of more network bandwidth and slight nausea on the side of the author. + - readline perl extension now requires shift-click instead of a normal + click, and eats the click. + - tabbed perl extension now supports -e. + - disabled graphics-exposures on the main drawing GC, report any + refresh bugs please. + - improve property handling for -pe tabbed: avoid unnecessary property + changes (for kde's benefit) at the expense of extra round-trips, + improve size hint setting. + - modified XIM according to a patch sent by Takano Akio that sets + the preedit rectangle for OverTheSpot, which helps some input methods + to correctly position their preedit window. + - un-optimise the line clearing on newly scrolled-in lines a bit: the + former reasoning was that any fg colour on default bg looks the same + in empty spaces, but thats not true when reversing (e.g. selection), + so also check for matching fg colours. This fixes the problem where + selecting newly scrolled-in lines would exhibit wrong colours. + - fix a bug in the perl interface causing focus in events to generate + focus out perl events, causing bad focus effects with -pe tabbed. + - fix a race resulting in a crash on exiting. + - fix a with --disable-xft that caused xfreecolors to be called on + colors never allocated, resulting in aborts (reported by Paco-Paco). + - resources on non-initial screens weren't refetched correctly + (reported by Paco-Paco). + - fix a bug in xcopyarea pass and _disable_ it, as it seems not to be + working in either rxvt-unicode nor in the original rxvt. + - removed undocumented -exec alias for the -e option. + +7.6 Fri Feb 10 08:52:36 CET 2006 + - changed interpretation of [alpha] colour prefix. + - +option now really sets the option to default, instead of using the + resource value. + - options that require an argument now really _require_ an argument. + - the tabbed extension now forwards focus and keys events to th + relevant tab window. + - tab colours are now configurable and have sensible defaults + (initial patch by hednod). + - option menu is extendable, readline, selection and + selection-autotransform can now be disabled/enabled at runtime. + - forcing a configure event to tabbed subwindows with -pe tabbed, for + the benefit of automove-background. + - the automove-background extension added a wrong constant offset. + - force refresh of XA_RESOURCE_STRING on virtual reconnect. + - return exit status 2 in urxvtc when urxvtd couldn't be contacted. + - the linux yield hack is back, now using usleep, and enabled only on + __linux__. + - further round trip eliminations in the !XFT case by remembering + the colour components. + - plain scrollbar works better with -sr. + - fixed half-shadow scrollbar look. + - more colour rtt optimisations. + - properly(?) free colours on window close. + - reorganised the FAQ into multiple sections. + - add ISO646.1991-IRV to the list of supported codesets. + - minor libptytty update. + +7.5 Tue Jan 31 15:15:43 CET 2006 - further improvements to the careful mode detection, and font width detection: - fully double-wide fonts will now be correctly treated, @@ -28,14 +137,18 @@ - removed gnu unifont fallback, all combining characters are broken. - replace named colours by xorg's rgb.txt equivalents, to reduce round trip time on startup, and short-cut allocation - of rgb:rr/gg/bb. + of rgb:rr/gg/bb for xft. + - short-cut allocation of rgb values in the xlib case + (patch by Paco-Paco). - overhauled color management: smaller codesize, alpha support. - - support rgba:rrrr/gggg/bbbb/aaaa, #argb, #aarrggbb and - #aaaarrrrggggbbbb (yes, it did hurt) colour "names". + - support "rgba:rrrr/gggg/bbbb/aaaa" color specifications and + an "[alpha]" prefix. - try to work around Xft and Xrender forcing everything to be 100% transparent.
