217.2 24 - hopefully fix the crashing bug people encounter with 7.8
22BUG: env handling in single process mode does not set/restore the env: make it so. 25 (triggered by using transparency + perl). Likely fixes debian bug #380348.
26 - fix urxvtc.1.pod: it actually claimed -pty-fd would not work. But
27 it does! :->
28 - rxvt_fatal() in case the locale string is too long for our static buffer.

307.8 Mon Jul 17 21:00:46 CEST 2006
31 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: this version will always read ~/.Xdefaults,
32 earlier versions only read it if display-resources (usually from
33 .Xresources) are not set. This avoids the #1 FAQ ("why isn't my
34 resource used") and seems to be logical behaviour, too. .Xdefaults
35 resources have a lower priority than display-specific resources.
36 - add "kuake" perl extension that does a similar thing to the kuake
37 terminal emulator (see man urxtvperl).
38 - use less "correct" color scaling that is compatible with libX11 and
39 Xft (avoids off-by-one colors resulting in striped backgrounds).
40 - the "depth" resource is now respected.
41 - preset the searchable-scrollback pattern with "(?i)" to default search
42 to case-insensitivity. Will automatically be cleared when typing an
43 uppercase character.
44 - add FORCE_UNBUFFERED_XFT define to features.h.
45 - re-enabled highlightcolor support with --enable-frills, based on
46 a patch by Martin Stubenschrott.
47 - double-buffered xft drawing did suffer from pixel offset issues
48 when pixmap transparency was enabled.
49 - strategically add # to the url-match regexes, as we really want to
50 match common URIs not common URLs. Reported by Aaron Griffin.
51 - moved on_osc_seq to on_osc_seq_perl and added a more
52 generic osc_seq.
53 - fix a bug causing double callback invocations when perl hooks
54 were invoked recursively.
55 - the automove-background extension now properly works when the
56 pixmap gets reset with an osc sequence (sqweek).
57 - selection-pastebin did not work properly with non-latin1-characters.
58 - apply colorUL only when the text colour is the default fg
59 (patch by Wu Fengguang).
60 - removed rxvtlib.h from the tarball, it had no reason to be there
61 (spotted by Decklin Foster).
62 - fix compiling with TRANSPARENT but !XPM_BACKGROUND, as reported
63 by omatunto_.
64 - slap in a using namespace std, might help on platforms that don't
65 follow C++ closely enough.
66 - fix mailto url regex, spotted within milliseconds by Jost Krieger.
67 - applied fade_color_update_func.patch by WU Fengguang.
68 - fix a bug where (due to an optimisation in av_delete), hiding the
69 bottom-most overlay would hide two overlays.

717.7 Tue Feb 21 12:32:49 CET 2006
72 - use double-buffered drawing (xft fonts only). On many driver/hardware
73 combination this actually increases xft drawing speed, at the expense
74 of more network bandwidth and slight nausea on the side of the author.
75 - readline perl extension now requires shift-click instead of a normal
76 click, and eats the click.
77 - tabbed perl extension now supports -e.
78 - disabled graphics-exposures on the main drawing GC, report any
79 refresh bugs please.
80 - improve property handling for -pe tabbed: avoid unnecessary property
81 changes (for kde's benefit) at the expense of extra round-trips,
82 improve size hint setting.
83 - modified XIM according to a patch sent by Takano Akio that sets
84 the preedit rectangle for OverTheSpot, which helps some input methods
85 to correctly position their preedit window.
86 - un-optimise the line clearing on newly scrolled-in lines a bit: the
87 former reasoning was that any fg colour on default bg looks the same
88 in empty spaces, but thats not true when reversing (e.g. selection),
89 so also check for matching fg colours. This fixes the problem where
90 selecting newly scrolled-in lines would exhibit wrong colours.
91 - fix a bug in the perl interface causing focus in events to generate
92 focus out perl events, causing bad focus effects with -pe tabbed.
93 - fix a race resulting in a crash on exiting.
94 - fix a with --disable-xft that caused xfreecolors to be called on
95 colors never allocated, resulting in aborts (reported by Paco-Paco).
96 - resources on non-initial screens weren't refetched correctly
97 (reported by Paco-Paco).
98 - fix a bug in xcopyarea pass and _disable_ it, as it seems not to be
99 working in either rxvt-unicode nor in the original rxvt.
100 - removed undocumented -exec alias for the -e option.
101
1027.6 Fri Feb 10 08:52:36 CET 2006
103 - changed interpretation of [alpha] colour prefix.
104 - +option now really sets the option to default, instead of using the
105 resource value.
106 - options that require an argument now really _require_ an argument.
107 - the tabbed extension now forwards focus and keys events to th
108 relevant tab window.
109 - tab colours are now configurable and have sensible defaults
110 (initial patch by hednod).
111 - option menu is extendable, readline, selection and
112 selection-autotransform can now be disabled/enabled at runtime.
113 - forcing a configure event to tabbed subwindows with -pe tabbed, for
114 the benefit of automove-background.
115 - the automove-background extension added a wrong constant offset.
116 - force refresh of XA_RESOURCE_STRING on virtual reconnect.
117 - return exit status 2 in urxvtc when urxvtd couldn't be contacted.
118 - the linux yield hack is back, now using usleep, and enabled only on
119 __linux__.
120 - further round trip eliminations in the !XFT case by remembering
121 the colour components.
122 - plain scrollbar works better with -sr.
123 - fixed half-shadow scrollbar look.
124 - more colour rtt optimisations.
125 - properly(?) free colours on window close.
126 - reorganised the FAQ into multiple sections.
127 - add ISO646.1991-IRV to the list of supported codesets.
128 - minor libptytty update.
129
1307.5 Tue Jan 31 15:15:43 CET 2006
131 - further improvements to the careful mode detection, and font width
132 detection:
133 - fully double-wide fonts will now be correctly treated,
134 - overlap detection was improved.
135 - detect totally broken fonts (usually synthesized by xft).
136 - careful mode forced refresh sometimes clashed with blinking,
137 causing unnecessary screen redraws.
138 - better handling of XFT combining characters.
139 - enable antialiasing for some replacement fonts, as they
140 might get used for other encodings which really need it, later.
141 - remove spacing=100 from all default fonts, as this creates totally
142 weird spacing (5 times normal) with xft.
143 - removed iso10646 fallback, as xorgs iso10646 encoded fonts are mostly
144 broken.
145 - removed gnu unifont fallback, all combining characters are broken.
146 - replace named colours by xorg's rgb.txt equivalents, to
147 reduce round trip time on startup, and short-cut allocation
148 of rgb:rr/gg/bb for xft.
149 - short-cut allocation of rgb values in the xlib case
150 (patch by Paco-Paco).
151 - overhauled color management: smaller codesize, alpha support.
152 - support "rgba:rrrr/gggg/bbbb/aaaa" color specifications and
153 an "[alpha]" prefix.
154 - try to work around Xft and Xrender forcing everything to be 100%
155 transparent. Long Live Xft!
156 - do not include X11/Intrinsic.h anymore, directly use
157 Xlib/Xutil/Xresource directly.
158 - try to find a nearest matching color when color allocation fails
159 on a pseudocolor screen.
160 - SYNCCVS: compared to rxvt-cvs 2006-01-28, no relevant changes.
161 - fix version report (DA) (which was unfortunately broken).
162 - changed version number report again, now to emulate xterm closer.
163 - added the OSC sequence 702 to detect the urxvt version number.
164 - small configure updates.
165 - further RTT optimisations.
166 - backported clean-up patches for makefiles and documentation from
167 the debian package.
168 - updated doc/rxvt-unicode.spec file. It's still not maintained here,
169 but much newer than the old one.
170
1717.4 Sat Jan 28 15:26:27 CET 2006
172 - screen background wasn't always erased properly when scrolling,
173 - re-enabled clearing optimisation disabled in 7.4pre.

176 - removed stoopid debugging message left in the code.
177
1787.3 Wed Jan 25 22:47:35 CET 2006
179 - don't let iso14755 or mouse reporting get into the way of perl
180 (could lead to global grabs never being cleared).
181 - experimental OnTheSpot editing support (-pe xim-onthespot).
182 - moved Shift-Button2 paste combination to Meta-Button2.
183 - the cutchars resource will now be respected and used by the
184 selection extension.
185 - added the "remote-clipboard" extension which just runs external
186 commands to fetch and store the selection data.
187 - added -depth switch that tries to get a different visual depth
188 than the default (replaces the old PREFER_24_BIT logic).
189 - removed (unused) arabic presentation form composing sequences.
190 - be more strict when deciding that a core font glyph is too wide and
191 needs the careful rendering mode.
192 - allow more leeway for italic fonts when deciding that a character is
193 too wide and needs careful mode.
194 - redraw even more characters around characters using careful mode.
195 - made selection-pastebin fully asynchronous.
196 - reduced number of server turnarounds at startup by allocating
197 atoms only once per display.
198 - renamed on_keyboard_command to on_user_command.
199 - changed version sos (ESC [ > c) response to be more compatible with
200 xterm.

2027.2 Sun Jan 22 21:58:16 CET 2006
203 - bugfix: urxvt (not urxvtd) did not correctly handle multiple
204 environments necessary, which resulted in segfaults within
205 getenv (reproducable: urxvt -fn 9x15, open a menu once,
206 ctrl-shift-672c).

209 - bugfix: resizing sometimes leaked lines from the secondary to
210 the primary screen.
