22TODO: cursor over overlays, when focus change?
23TODO: cursor restore/rendition restore on rmcup
24 - the aterm code now frees the as visual and image manager objects
25 when a window was closed.
26 - do not (wrongly) adjust the virtual line length inside
27 scr_insdel_chars/ERASE (Miroslav Lichvar).
28 - fix an issue where wide tab characters caused character shifts
29 when part of them was deleted (tracked down by Miroslav Lichvar).
30 - artificially enlargen the previous character at the end of a line
31 when trying to output a character that doesn't fit. looks ugly, but
32 makes copy&paste work.
33 - remove bogus "setuid/setgid security issues" from rxvt.1.pod, they
34 no longer apply.
35 - the urgency hint is now cleared on both focus in and focus out.
36 - cache urgency hint locally to avoid server rtt on every focus change.
37 - perl 5.10 needs PERL_SYS_INIT3 on hppa.
38 - ignore byte-order marks and do not treat them like combining characters.
39 - fix build issue when CURSOR_BLINK is not defined (Emanuele Giaquinta).
40 - do some µ-optimisations to the character fast path.
41 - use a less cunning, but more robust algorithm to avoid one terminal
42 monopolising the whole process by outputting a lot of text.
43 - try to work around linux first breaking sched_yield and now breaking
44 the only known workaround.
45 - new option -icon to set _NET_WM_ICON (based on patch by Frank Schmitt).
46 - initialise the as visual only on demand, instead of unconditionally,
47 to save memory in the common case of not using visual gimmicks.
48 - try to work around a race between urxvt and wm's on programmatic
49 resizes by temporarily disabling size hints.
50 - implement the DECSTR soft reset sequence and use it for tput init,
51 and make hard RIS and DECSTR both reset more private modes, such
52 as mouse reporting.
53 - redundantly clear mouse reporting and a few other states in
54 tput init/tput reset, for older urxvts.
55 - partial/full clear screens did cause flickering and possibly pixel
56 droppings when urxvt viewed the scrollback buffer.
57 - use current rendition style in DCH sequence.
58 - the 132/80 mode switch no longer forces a screen reset.
59 - new perl extension "overlay-osc", for status displays and the like.
60
619.05 Sun Jun 15 20:09:20 CEST 2008
62 - new option --cd/chdir to set the starting working directory.
63 - tabbed extension now starts in the "correct" working directory.
64 - work around fedora 9 providing isastream but not the relevant
65 header file for it (report by Tuncer Ayaz).
66 - upgrade libev, fixing a bug in the select backend
67 with more than 31 file descriptors on non-linux 64 bit systems.
68 - correctly reset the multibyte state to the initial one
69 after EILSEQ (patch by Neil Booth). This fixes the
70 issue of rxvt-unicode not properly displaying text after an illegal
71 sequence on NetBSD and probably other systems.
72 - more intelligent property handling with -pe tabbed, works around
73 broken window managers (kwm et al.), saves bandwidth and should
74 help working window managers as well.
75 - made tabs moveable (based on a patch by Petr Machata).
76 - implement ESC [ 3 K as a more rational alternative to ESC [ 0 K.
77 - support relative paths for RXVT_SOCKET in urxvtd.
78 - the tabbed extension now blindly copies over all (rxvt-) resources
79 from the toplevel window to the children.
80 - better diagnostic on 0x0 window geometries.
81 - update AnyEvent API to version 3.4 and above.
82 - document the default value of :0 for DISPLAY.
83 - rename perl method XChangeWindowProperty to XChangeProperty.
84
859.02 Tue Jan 29 11:58:36 CET 2008
86 - the "exg makes everybody happy" release.
87 - fix build with !xft.
88 - always compile in plain style scrollbar (simplifies code and looks great).
89
909.01 Sat Jan 26 20:49:27 CET 2008
91 - be more aggressive about handling X events, this seems to be required
92 with newer xlibs (should fix the "screen stays black until event is
93 received" problem, again :)
94 - add buffered resource to control xft double-buffering.
95
969.0 Fri Jan 25 19:34:04 CET 2008
97 - fix a crash bug where urxvtd would crash when urxvtc was called
98 with wrong arguments (I wish debian maintainers in general would
99 report bugs and their proposed fixes to the original package maintaienrs
100 instead of sitting on them for good measure to see if anybody notices).
101 - drawing xft compose characters was causing garbage to be drawn.
102 - correctly clear xft character background in all cases.
103 - implement bracketed paste mode (xterm private mode 2004).
104 - improve documentation on alpha channel handling, make urxvt
105 work better on servers lacking the RENDER extension when alpha
106 channels or background images are used.
107 - check for refresh after initialising to avoid staying blank
108 till the first event arrives. or so.
109 - the FORCE_UNBUFFERED_XFT feature macro works again.
110 - continuously update transparency while moving/resizing now.
111 - OSC 39/49 are deprecated and aliased to OSC 10/11.
112 - cub1 now acts as advertised (and ignores the "wrapped" state).
113 - the 132/80 mode switch now forces a height of 24, too, and
114 resets the terminal.
115 - scrollbar code cleanups.
116 - stopping children is no longer confused with children exiting.
117 - removed (undocumented) #aarrggbb format.
118 - updated to libev 3.0.
119
1208.9 Mon Dec 24 07:51:40 CET 2007
121 - fix the issue where urxvtd would not immediately close a window
122 when the command exited but only on the next X event.
123 - changed terminfo file not to use application keypad mode.
124 - fix the issue where making a selection in one urxvtd window
125 would not clear it visually in another.
126 - fix an issue of urxvt not getting background pixmap updates
127 and flickering after bg pixmap changes (reported by Mikachu).
128 - fix redraw bug in xterm scrollbar with -sr (reported by Mikachu).
129 - correctly provide dependencies for libev (µikachu).
130 - minor code reorganisations and cleanups.
131 - be more robust in case the urxvt-popup extension cannot be loaded.
132
1338.8 Sat Dec 15 19:40:39 CET 2007
134 - option -C was aliased to all unsupported options, activating
135 options that shouldn't be compiled in, leading to interesting
136 effects.
137 - updated libev, working around a bug in linux 2.4, curing the
138 symptom of urxvt not closing its window on shell exit. also
139 fixes a problem with urxvt not refreshing.
140 - the text blink callback was called even when no blinking
141 text was visible.
142 - pre-8.4 slipwheeling behaviour has been reinstated, with
143 some minor improvements.
144 - streamlined x events processing to only flush once per
145 display and not once per terminal window.
146 - quite a bit of minor code cleanups and codesize optimisations.
147
1488.7 Sun Nov 25 10:23:49 CET 2007
149 - update libev with an important bugfix that would cause crashes
150 when closing windows (when using rxvtd, and update is recommended).
151 - do not compile in the block builtin graphics with --disable-frills.
152
1538.6 Fri Nov 23 14:10:57 CET 2007
154 - upgrade libev to disable kqueue on anything but netbsd as it
155 seems to be broken everywhere else w.r.t. ptys.
156 - allow for spurious event notifications, as at least epoll and
157 especially solaris ports like to lie about them (symptoms:
158 urxvt "hangs" until there is some x11 related activity).
159 - -keysym command line options are now subjected to xlib parsing.
160 - add 'xrm' option analogous to Xt one.
161
1628.5a Wed Nov 21 10:16:33 CET 2007
163 - make it compile with --disable-transparency.
164
1658.5 Wed Nov 21 05:19:20 CET 2007
166 - expect major portability issues in this release: please test and report.
167 - converted from the veritable io manager event loop to
168 the high performance libev (http://software.schmorp.de/pkg/libev).
169 - minor tuning to the perl selection (include single words and more quoting chars).
170 - fix memory leak in pixmap code.
171 - fix a serious bug while setting the XIM destroy callback
172 on (typical) 64 bit systems.
173 - automove-background functionality re-implemented internaly using :root op in pixmap
174 geometry string. For example: rxvt -pixmap "image.jpg;:root"
175 - do not link rxvtc against every lib on the planet anymore.
176 - parallel builds should work once more.
177
1788.4 Sat Oct 27 14:02:13 CEST 2007
179 - overhaul of the transparency/pixmap code (sasha).
180 - fix possible race betwen visual bell and poweron.
181 (reported by Martin von Gagern, gentoo?).
182 - urxvt -e no longer crashes the child.
183 - fixed some minor memleaks on incorrect usage or
184 missing DISPLAY.

190 - new option: skipScroll/-ss, enabled by default.
191 - go with the times and expect x11 library files in /usr/lib, not
192 /usr/X11R6/lib.
193 - initial transparency improvement/afterimage support
194 patch by Sasha Vasko.

196 (patch by Philip Paeps).
197 - do not process focus events caused by grabs
198 (patch by Mikachu).
199 - add iso14755_52 resource to disable iso14755 5.2 (exg).
200 - add binding for backspace in iso14755 5.1 to remove the last
201 digit (exg).
202 - better option handling, support more than 30 options (exg).
203 - nuke reconf script, serves no purpose anymore.
204 - fixed and documented matcher/on_user_command processing in matcher
205 extension (tpope).
206 - compile out of the box on Solaris 10 (exg).
207 - fix MappingNotify events (reported by Stephan Walter).
208 - zero-initialise mwmhints, this seems to solve all sorts of minor
209 problems.
210
2118.2 Sat Feb 17 21:35:28 CET 2007
212 - fix make depend in src/, reported by exg.
213 - fixed typo in urxvt::GET_CUSTOM, causing the result to be wrong.
214 (patch by Sergey Vlasov).
215 - unbundled iom perl interface somewhat.
216 - scrollbar-xterm now uses the selected scrollColor instead of fg
217 (found by Aiviru).
218 - disabled linux kernel bug workaround again: disabling it gives
219 a 50% speed hit on affected machines, while enabling it gives
220 a similar speed hit to screen, which is likely the more common
221 case to work around for :/
222 - urxvt::rend2mask perl function, and utilization of it by matcher
223 (patch by Moshe Kamensky).
224 - use perl:matcher on a keysym to open most recently displayed URL.
225 - with matcher, when multiple patterns match, last wins, not first.
226 - fix make and make install with srcdir != builddir (exg).
227 - updated bundled libptytty to fix a bug where the tty would be kept
228 open (see the libptytty ChangeLog for details).
229 - delay setting the IUTF8 flag to after the tty settings have been
230 set so its value does not get lost (reported and analysed by Andrei
231 Paskevich).
232 - rip out support for obsolete sgtty.h interface.
233 - rip out support for non-POSIX termios variants.
234 - update libptytty.
235 - update iom.C, make it call ptytty::sanitise_stdfd on init.
236 - when !XFT, change rounding of colours to use a less correct formula to
237 meet user expectancies (#aaa becomes #a000a000a000 not #9f9f9f9f9f9f).
238 - change the starting offset of the pixmap set with backgroundPixmap
239 from (50,50) to (0,0) (exg).
240 - fix a typo in button_release, now meta-button2 request the value of
241 the Clipboard selection as it should (patch by Serge Koksharov).
242 - fix a bug in drawing a cell with a nonspacing char when using an xft
243 font with inheritPixmap and tintColor (exg).
244
2458.1 Thu Dec 7 22:27:25 CET 2006
246 - ケリスマスプレゼント - zomg!!1, it's too early!!!
247 - fix the assumption that chars < 256 are single-width. Now
248 only assume this for codepoints 32 to 126 (reported by Dai.H.).
249 - $term->strwidth returned wide chars as width 1, because some jerk
250 confused min and max. Fixing this also fixes xim-onthespot.
251 Reported by Takano Akio.
252 - secondaryScroll is now enabled by default (as per the manpage),
253 reported by exg.
254 - correct the description of [percent]color rgba format in the manpage.
255 - incorporated macosx-clipboard extension by Samuel Ljungkvist.
256 - ignore (some) useless focus events (reported by mmc).
257 - updated compose table to unicode 5.0.0.
258
2598.0 Thu Nov 2 18:35:19 CET 2006
260 - combining characters cleared the area instead of creating an overlay,
261 thus losing the ability to draw combining characters properly in most
262 circumstances (reported by exg).
263 - specified fonts were incorrectly morphed to bold/italic according to the
264 basefont, even if explicitly specified (tracked down by tpope).
265 - fixed urxvt::strwidth to calculate width in the same way as screen.C.
266 - fix a crash caused by passing negative widths to overlay functions.
267 - added 'matcher' extension by tpope, replacing the mark-urls extension.
268 - improve url regex to match anything www.* (tpope).
269 - fixed bug with outline cursor color being wrong after xft fonts.
270 - update to libptytty-1.0.
271 - give proper diagnostic when RXVT_SOCKET is too long instead of
272 corrupting the stack (patch by exg).
273 - display current terminal locale in option menu.
274 - urxvtd no longer crashes when the client sends an inaccessible
275 working directory (reported by Roland Baer, possibly fixes gentoo
276 bug #143985).
277 - fixed many minor issues reported by Roland Baer.
278 - Leonid Khramov spotted a minor glitch in rxvtfont.C that
279 should not have any consequences, but was buggy nonetheless.
280 - manpage fix by exg.
