39
40 - add DECSCUSR xterm extension to set the cursor to a vertical bar.
41 - add 'extension:string' action, and associated on_action perl
42 hook, for keysym resources that invokes actions provided by
43 perl extensions. The 'perl:string' action and
44 on_user_command hook are deprecated but still supported.
45 - add 'builtin-string' action for keysym resources that restores string
46 mappings for keys that have predefined actions in urxvt.
47 - add -k option to urxvtc for killing the daemon process.
48 - add -dockapp option to make the wm treat urxvt as a dockapp.
49 - add -mc option and multiClickTime resource to set the maximum time
50 between multi-click select events (patch by Joe Peterson).
51 - new 'eval' extension to evaluate arbitrary perl code with keysym
52 bindings. The extension also provides methods that implement basic
53 actions, such as pasting selections and scrolling.
54 - the macosx-clipboard and macosx-clipboard-native extensions have been removed.
55 - the keysym-list extension has been removed, you can use the following
56 perl one-liner to expand your existing .Xdefaults file to do without it:
57 - kuake extension now uses the kuake.hotkey resource to specify the hotkey.
58 - new 'matcher:select' mode of matcher to iterate over the matches with the keyboard.
59 - the 'matcher:list' feature of matcher now honours the launcher
60 associated to a matched pattern.
61 - fix up/down commands of searchable scrollback so that they always move
62 to the previous/next logical line with a match, if any.
63 - searchable-scrollback resource has been deprecated (use keysym instead).
64 - extension parameter passing is deprecated (use resource mechanism instead).
65 - upgrade to GPLv3 (see COPYING).
66 - fix height and position of the stippled area in next scrollbar (patch
67 by Thomas Otto).
68 - fix off-by-one bug causing the iso14755 window not to jump out of the
69 way properly.
70 - fix crash that may happen if a lib to which urxvt is linked to calls setenv.
71
729.20 Sat Apr 26 16:22:27 CEST 2014
73 - (libptytty) fix bug that prevented urxvtd from writing utmp
74 entries when using --fork (reported by Ryan Kavanagh).
75 - security bugfix: window property values could be queried even
76 in secure mode (reported by Conor McCarthy).
77 - fix build when perl is enabled and fading is disabled.
78 - fix regression that broke continuous scrolling when pressing
79 and holding the scrollbar up or down button, gentoo bug #493992.
80 - increase the maximum length of a command sequence to 32k bytes,
81 to allow longer OSC sequences (previous limit was 2k).
82 - new Ctrl-Meta-c and Ctrl-Meta-v bindings to interact with
83 the CLIPBOARD selection.
84 - new extension: selection-to-clipboard.
85 - the extensions macosx-clipboard and macosx-clipboard-native
86 are deprecated and will be removed in the next release.
87 Support for the clipboard on OS X can be more generally
88 enabled by setting the XQuartz preference to sync the OS X
89 pasteboard and the X11 clipboard.
90
919.19 Sun Oct 27 17:16:07 CET 2013
92 - work around perl 5.18.0 breakage in tabbed extension
93 (reported by Karol Blazewicz) and in pod (Dominic Hargreaves).
94 - fix regression that caused the double-click word selection to
95 erroneously include a tab on the left of the selected word.
96 - implement FOCUS variable and focus_fade function in background
97 expression, to allow focus-sensitive background images.
98 - add support for the set cursor style (DECSCUSR) control
99 function.
100 - honour cursorColor also when the cursor style is underline.
101 - export some Color_xxx constants to Perl.
102
1039.18 Sun Mar 24 15:33:35 CET 2013
104 - fix regression that caused artifacts on resize.
105
1069.17 Fri Mar 1 13:46:08 CET 2013
107 - add shade operator in background perl extension.
108 - avoid starting or ending the selection in the middle of wide
109 characters to avoid artifacts (reported by Tiago Resende).
110 - fix artifacts that may occur if the character in the cursor
111 cell has width > 1 (reported by Tiago Resende).
112 - fix regression that causes artifacts on scrolling if
113 saveLines is 0 and the window is resized (reported by Bert
114 Münnich).
115 - fix build when perl is enabled and pixbuf and transparency
116 are disabled.
117
1189.16 Thu Dec 27 11:56:43 CET 2012
119 - the "so much new stuff your eyes will pop out" release.
120 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: renamed urlLauncher resource to url-launcher.
121 - fix processing of DEC private mode save sequences (patch by Patrick
122 Hemmer).
123 - perl extensions now have their own manpages, installed as urxvt-NAME(1),
124 e.g. urxvt-background(1) - see urxvt-extensions(1) for a list.
125 - fix disabling of cursor blink with the option-popup menu (based on a
126 patch by Jan Larres).
127 - the font height is not augmented anymore when lineSpace is non zero.
128 - fix "new pagemap" vs. "delete pagemap" mismatch ([] vs. non-[]),
129 as diagnosed by clang.
130 - fix height mismatch between active and inactive cursor when
131 lineSpace is non zero (patch by Stanislav Seletskiy).
132 - make it compile with LOCAL_X_IS_UNIX again (reported by
133 nickfailure@gmail.com).
134 - completely redone background pixmap support - users can now
135 specify arbitrary expressions (And programs) that calculate
136 new terminal backgrounds. see the urxvt-background manpage
137 for details.
138 - xrender is now required for background pixmap support.
139 - perl extensions can now provide commandline switches and resources
140 which show up in -help etc.
141 - iso14755 51 mode window now displays row and column.
142 - implement a -visual switch and move that and -depth to frills, also
143 warn when we can't get the requested visual.
144 - new env variable: RXVT_PERL_LIB.
145 - allocate all screen memory in one go and let the virtual memory
146 subsystem sort it out. this simplifies code, improves access
147 locality, saves a bit of ram and makes things a bit faster, too.
148 - remove support for libafterimage.
149 - update to CVS version of libev, for a whopping 11kb size decrease.
150 - do not ship yet another copy of ecb.h, use the one in libev or
151 libptytty instead.
152 - selectively mark some methods as cache-hot/cache cold, which
153 might speed up execution but definitely decreases codesize.
154 - Fix regression that prevented the scrollbar trough color
155 from being applied (reported by Derek B. Noonburg).
156 - Fix the scrollbar size for rxvt style (patch by Mark Robinson).
157
1589.15 Sat Jan 21 13:36:56 CET 2012
159 - remove "using namespace std" because clang erroneously
160 thinks thats an error.
161 - finding a matching font (e.g. bold version of the base font)
162 was broken (reported by Eamon Walker).
163 - fix parsing of bg image styles. They really work now.
164 - fix blurring of bg image borders when using xrender.
165 - fix xrender blur on common xrender implementations that do
166 not behave correctly when the same pixmap is used as source
167 and destination in composite operations.
168 - fix regression that caused tabbed to compute the wrong size
169 for tabs.
170 - allow again an empty suffix in a keysym list spec (patch by
171 Sung Pae).
172 - unsupported support for sun studio's CC added.
173 - fix -C option on solaris.
174
1759.14 Wed Dec 21 18:40:33 CET 2011
176 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: the urxvtd default socket path is now
177 $HOME/.urxvt/urxvtd-<nodename>.
178 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: the "list" keysym expansion now requires
179 loading of the "keysym-list" perl extension.
180 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: A scale value of 0 in the bg image
181 geometry no longer enables tiling, so as to make it possible
182 to disable both scaling and tiling.
183 - overhaul of the bg image operations. The old operations have
184 been deprecated in favour of elementary operations and
185 styles built on top of the new operations and scale/position
186 settings. (Emanuele Giaquinta).
187 - support for libafterimage is deprecated and will be removed
188 in the next release.
189 - fix a crash caused by selection_check not properly resetting
190 out-of-bounds mark values (can happen when extending a selection
191 while scrolling up in curses programs for example).
192 - do not move the selection when scrolling up and the selection is
193 outside the scrolling region (Emanuele Giaquinta).
194 - fix display of bold bright black (reported by Ben Winslow).
195 - fix memory leak when urgentOnBell is set (patch by Nathaniel
196 Filardo).
197 - fix a redraw bug that occurs when a bg pixmap is set and the
198 wm does not honour the size hints set by urxvt. Now urxvt
199 forces the size of the terminal window to be a multiple of
200 the cell size.
201 - sanitise the argument of SD / SU sequences. Fixes a possible
202 crash when the argument is big enough, red hat bug #711137
203 (Emanuele Giaquinta).
204 - correctly split long lines when scrolling.
205 - urxvt now looks for perl extensions also in $HOME/.urxvt/ext.
206 - add bell-command perl extension to execute a command when a
207 bell event occurs (Ryan Kavanagh).
208 - add set_urgency perl binding to set/reset the urgency hint.
209 - consume button release event in matcher (exg).
210 - keyboard accessible list of recent matches in matcher
211 (Bob Farrell).
212 - properly process 'keysym' sequences in tabbed when using
213 'focus follows mouse' and the focus is on the main window
214 but not on the active terminal window (patch by Martin
215 Pohlack).
216 - support for the freedesktop startup-notification protocol (patch by
217 Michael Stapelberg).
218 - the direction of VPR and VPB commands was reversed.
219 - fix alignment of inherited root pixmap when it is a different size
220 than the root window and the terminal window is off the left or top
221 edge (Mikachu).
222 - make $self visible in "eval perl expression" popup action, also
223 handle exceptions better.
224 - fix parsing of '-e' when it occurs as an option argument, such as in
225 'urxvt -title -e' (Emanuele Giaquinta).
226
2279.12 Wed Jun 29 14:34:28 CEST 2011
228 - fix regression in processing of SelectionNotify events.
229 urxvt would fail to request a selection if the owner did not
230 support the UTF8_STRING target.
231 - fix rendering of double width chars in certain circumstances, more
232 likely to happen if urxvt is compiled with 256 colors support as
233 urxvt runs out of fonts much earlier then. Fixes gentoo bug #358151
234 (Emanuele Giaquinta).
235 - restore support for 'list' syntax in keysym resources (requested by Sung Pae).
236 - always premultiply colour values - while this increases differences between
237 core fonts and xft, it is "more correct" in practical situations.
238 - disable PTYTTY_REENTRANT option - not needed for urxvt and saves a bit of code.
239 - remove lucidatypewriter from the list of fallback fonts, it was the only
240 non-xft non-cellfont in the list anyway.
241
2429.11 Mon May 2 10:34:46 CEST 2011
243 - fix compilation on GNU/Hurd, debian bug #624736.
244 - remove 'list' syntax for keysym resources, as it serves no useful purpose.
245 If you need it, poke us and provide a use case.
246 - fix alpha channel support. Premultiply alpha in colours if the visual
247 supports an alpha channel, as xrender expects premultiplied alpha
248 (Emanuele Giaquinta).
249 - fix reply to a selection request sent by an obsolete client
250 such as syncterm (patch by Marcin Cieslak).
251 - fix crash when the window is resized and the overlay is active
252 (Emanuele Giaquinta, reported by Ryan Kavanagh).
253 - match character-wise rather than byte-wise in selection
254 extension again. perl 5.8.9+ is required to avoid extreme
255 slowdowns. Fixes debian bugs #523072, #616463.
256 - fix a possible crash if the INCR transfer process for a
257 selection property timeouts and at least one chunk is
258 received. (Emanuele Giaquinta)
259 - work around a memory corruption bug in xorg's XrmSetDatabase (apparently
260 broken since http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/xorg-commit-diffs/2004-March/000239.html).
261 - fix memory corruption bug when custom command sequences bound to keys
262 were injected into an already-full pty input buffer.
263 - gdk-pixbuf is autodetected by default and preferred over libafterimage.
264 - do not prepend a newline to the selection text when the starting line
265 of the selection is not highlighted (Emanuele Giaquinta).
266 - don't swap perl env with real env, save and restore it, just in case
267 we ever get recursive perl invocations. also saves a bit of codespace
268 with gcc.
269 - fix various memory leaks (Emanuele Giaquinta).
270 - fix typo in kIC terminfo capability, debian bug #446444.
271 - document 'thickness' resource.
272 - fix debian bug #504817, to the extent possible.
273 - try to detect byte order at compile time, saves a couple of
274 hundred bytes, if your compiler is smart enough.
275 - add support for previewing the pasted data in confirm-paste
276 (Emanuele Giaquinta).
277 - added "newlines to spaces" option in selection-popup.
278 - actually enabled solaris event ports backend (was disabled by accident).
279 - revert to 38400 baud max., mission accomplished.
280 - no longer create scary "pty_fill: PLEASE REPORT" message, instead,
281 silently drain the input (problem is well understood now).
282 - no longer swallow rob nation's own graphics mode commands.
283
2849.10 Mon Dec 13 17:43:52 CET 2010
285 - the "schmorp=north korea dickey=south korea" release.
286 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: make OSC 20 simpler and more correct
287 (Emanuele Giaquinta).
288 - if options were compiled out, this could lead to the option
289 count to be defined wrongly. This is likely behind the
290 failures with gcc 4.5.
291 - explicitly depend on fontconfig and xrender when xft support
292 is enabled. Although the public Xft api uses types from
293 both, in Xft 2.2.0 these libs are private
294 dependencies only thanks to an idiotic behaviour of
295 pkg-config that was added to workaround cases like this one.
296 Fixes linking when using GNU ld with --as-needed or GNU gold
297 (based on patch by Jan Palus).
298 - fix minor memory leaks in urxvt and urxvtd.
299 - fix regression in urxvtd that prevented options from being correctly
300 set (reported by Michal Vaner).
301 - implement xterm's horribly broken 1005 mouse reporting mode,
302 and an alternative 1015 mode that works in non-utf-8 locales
303 and has fewer limitations.
304 - fix a possible bug where mouse notifications didn't work after
305 startup for the upper left corner.
306 - implement our own pixbuf to pixmap rendering to get rid of
307 dependency on buggy gdk-pixbuf-xlib. Only truecolor visuals
308 are supported (Emanuele Giaquinta).
309 - apply tinting before shading when both operations are requested.
310 Previously they were intermixed when lightening and the result
311 was inaccurate and confusing. Note that now a black tint yields a
312 completely black image, regardless of shading (Emanuele Giaquinta).
313 - avoid spurious redraws of the bg image when bg is transparent or
314 when using 'root' mode (Emanuele Giaquinta).
315 - fix build on XFree86.
316 - dynamically number options according to compiletime requirements.
317 For the extra saved byte. Or so. Yay.
318 - start options at one, not zero. Wastes a bit per terminal. Maybe.
319 saves 50 instruction bytes. Possibly.
320
3219.09 Sat Nov 13 01:39:07 CET 2010
322 - NOTICE: this release updates terminfo/termcap.
323 - the bestest release ever.
324 - it was verified that urxvt handles µ and μ correctly.
325 - add support for blending and blurring with XRender (Emanuele Giaquinta).
326 - add support for using gdk-pixbuf as image backend (Emanuele Giaquinta).
327 - cleanup and minor fixes of the image code (Emanuele Giaquinta).
328 - new perl extension "confirm-paste" (Emanuele Giaquinta).
329 - new on_tt_paste perl hook and tt_paste perl binding (Emanuele Giaquinta).
330 - new on_bell perl hook (Emanuele Giaquinta).
331 - searchable-scrollback no longer ignores the first line
332 (Emanuele Giaquinta).
333 - properly set VSTATUS in termios for *BSD (reported by Ed Schouten).
334 - fix utmpx detection on upcoming FreeBSD 9.
335 - Use COMPOUND_TEXT encoding for WM_NAME/WM_ICON_NAME value when it
336 is not fully convertible to STRING (patch by James Cloos).
337 - fix a buffer overflow that would cause wrong key sequences to
338 be generated for numpad keys (introduced in 9.05).
339 - fix definition of sgr0 to work around limitations in luit.
340 - extend ISO 14755 5.4 mode to also print the font name of the
341 characters other than first one in the selected cell
342 (Emanuele Giaquinta).
343 - new iso14755 option to disable ISO 14755 at runtime
344 (Emanuele Giaquinta).
345 - make sure pagewise scrolling scrolls at least one line
346 (found by Mikachu).
347 - remove deprecated OSC 18 / 19 and make OSC 17 / 19 apply to
348 highlightColor / highlightTextColor (Emanuele Giaquinta).
349 - add highlightTextColor resource to change the foreground colour of
350 highlighted characters (Emanuele Giaquinta).
351 - make highlightColor apply also to selected cells with reverse video
352 but not to non selected cells with reverse video (Emanuele Giaquinta).
353 - remove colorRV resource (it was enabled only with frills off).
354 - fix numlock handling, the most longstanding bug to date (Emanuele Giaquinta).
355 - reduce the number of custom bits to 4, to make room
356 for 256 colours.
357 - add support for 256 colors (Emanuele Giaquinta, Marc Lehmann).
358 - add rxvt-unicode-256color terminfo and use it by default in 256 colors mode.
359 - update rxvt-unicode terminfo to state 7744 colour pairs to cover all
360 88*88 possible pairs.
361 - actually added macosx-clipboard-native, which should have been in
362 the 9.07 release but had been forgotten.
363 - fix hang if DECAWM is not set and there are not enough columns to insert a
364 character (Emanuele Giaquinta).
365 - cub1 ("backspace") will now respect wrapping when past the rightmost column,
366 working around a shortcoming of most tty line discipline's line editing.
367 - add support for grabbing the clipboard selection and extend
368 selection{_clear,_grab,} perl bindings to optionally work
369 on the clipboard selection (based on patch by Dana Jansens).
370 - no longer force CERASE to BACKSPACE - use the system default. affects
371 default value for VERASE only when no compatible setting for
372 backspacekey was given.
373 - use higher than 38400 baudrate setting, if detected.
374 - erase screen would clear to the wrong background when blinking
375 was enabled (which selects high intensity under some circumstances).
376 - scr_kill_char didn't touch the line.
377 - upgrade and port to libev-4.01.
378 - enabled solaris event ports and kqueue backends (if available).
379
3809.07 Wed Dec 30 07:07:18 CET 2009
381 - port to glibc-2.10 changes (strchr etc. returning const char *
382 in C++), based on patches by Milos Jakubicek and Oliver Mader.
383 - the binary search algorithm to find precomposed characters
384 was faulty, skipping some possible combinations (found by
385 Mikachu).
386 - new -letterspace option, patch by Mark H. Wilkinson.
387 - enable --mlock option for urxvt with frills on
388 systems supporting it (patch by Russell Harmon).
389 - urxvt did not compile without frills enabled
390 (analysed by Matthew Rosewarne).
391 - correctly reset the mbstate after an illegal
392 input sequence when handling terminal output (Emanuele Giaquinta).
393 - avoid redrawing wide characters with combining enabled on every
394 refresh (reported by Mikachu).
395 - fix a typo preventing the ISO-646.1991 character set from being
396 recognized (http://achurch.org/patch-pile/).
397 - better warning for x11 font encoding detection failures, also,
398 try to deduce encoding from both font properties and name
399 (adapted from http://achurch.org/patch-pile/).
400 - resizing the window with the scrollbar disabled via the escapes
401 sequence could make the window bigger again (Mikachu).
402 - make sure the alignment for fd passing control messages
403 is correct and work around some NetBSD issues (Taylor R Campbell).
404 - update to libptytty 1.3.
405 - replace macosx-clipboard by a nicer version by Reza Jelveh, and move
406 the old version to macosx-clipboard-native.
407 - document the -uc option (Emanuele Giaquinta).
408 - assertions in libev are now enabled depending on frills.
409 - update AnyEvent implementation to version 5.23 API.
410 - work around arrogant bsd idiocies again: netbsd spills the default
411 namespace with lots of symbols "for gnu/gcc compatibility" even
412 though neither of them does it, and then calls the rest of the world
413 in need of fixing. go figure.
414 - on_keyboard_command is on_user_command (patch by Michael Witten).
415 - setting the selection from perl will now reset the selection screen
416 to the current screen. the screen can be manipulated using

4259.06 Sat Nov 8 17:47:18 CET 2008
426 - NOTICE: this release updates terminfo/termcap.
427 - updates libev to 3.48.
428 - the aterm code now frees the as visual and image manager objects
429 when a window was closed.
430 - do not (wrongly) adjust the virtual line length inside
431 scr_insdel_chars/ERASE (Miroslav Lichvar).
432 - fix an issue where wide tab characters caused character shifts
433 when part of them was deleted (tracked down by Miroslav Lichvar).
434 - artificially enlargen the previous character at the end of a line
435 when trying to output a character that doesn't fit. looks ugly, but
436 makes copy&paste work.
437 - remove bogus "setuid/setgid security issues" from rxvt.1.pod, they
438 no longer apply.
439 - the urgency hint is now cleared on both focus in and focus out.
440 - cache urgency hint locally to avoid server rtt on every focus change.
441 - perl 5.10 needs PERL_SYS_INIT3 on hppa.
442 - ignore byte-order marks and do not treat them like combining characters.
443 - fix build issue when CURSOR_BLINK is not defined (Emanuele Giaquinta).
444 - do some µ-optimisations to the character fast path.
445 - use a less cunning, but more robust algorithm to avoid one terminal
446 monopolising the whole process by outputting a lot of text.
447 - try to work around linux first breaking sched_yield and now breaking
448 the only known workaround.
449 - new option -icon to set _NET_WM_ICON (based on patch by Frank Schmitt).
450 - initialise the as visual only on demand, instead of unconditionally,
451 to save memory in the common case of not using visual gimmicks.
452 - try to work around bugs in a few wm's that erroneously resize
453 client windows on hint property updates by temporarily
454 disabling size hints.
455 - implement the DECSTR soft reset sequence and use it for tput init,
456 and make hard RIS and DECSTR both reset more private modes, such
457 as mouse reporting.
458 - redundantly clear mouse reporting and a few other states in
459 tput init/tput reset, for older urxvts.
460 - partial/full clear screens did cause flickering and possibly pixel
461 droppings when urxvt viewed the scrollback buffer.
462 - use current rendition style in DCH sequence.
463 - the 132/80 mode switch no longer forces a screen reset.
464 - add an osc sequence to change the border colour (Emanuele Giaquinta).
465 - new perl extension "overlay-osc", for status displays and the like.
466 - fix some minor cursor drawing issues with overlays by allowing
467 overlays to modify screen flags (to disable the cursor themselves).
468 - work around programs not restoring rstyle before rmcup
469 (analysed by Miroslav Lichvar).
470

477 with more than 31 file descriptors on non-linux 64 bit systems.
478 - correctly reset the multibyte state to the initial one
479 after EILSEQ (patch by Neil Booth). This fixes the
480 issue of rxvt-unicode not properly displaying text after an illegal
481 sequence on NetBSD and probably other systems.
482 - more intelligent property handling with -pe tabbed, works around
483 broken window managers (kwm et al.), saves bandwidth and should
484 help working window managers as well.
485 - made tabs moveable (based on a patch by Petr Machata).
486 - implement ESC [ 3 K as a more rational alternative to ESC [ 0 K.
487 - support relative paths for RXVT_SOCKET in urxvtd.
488 - the tabbed extension now blindly copies over all (rxvt-) resources
489 from the toplevel window to the children.

496 - the "exg makes everybody happy" release.
497 - fix build with !xft.
498 - always compile in plain style scrollbar (simplifies code and looks great).
499
5009.01 Sat Jan 26 20:49:27 CET 2008
501 - be more aggressive about handling X events, this seems to be required
502 with newer xlibs (should fix the "screen stays black until event is
503 received" problem, again :)
504 - add buffered resource to control xft double-buffering.
505
5069.0 Fri Jan 25 19:34:04 CET 2008
507 - fix a crash bug where urxvtd would crash when urxvtc was called
508 with wrong arguments (I wish debian maintainers in general would
509 report bugs and their proposed fixes to the original package maintainers
510 instead of sitting on them for good measure to see if anybody notices).
511 - drawing xft compose characters was causing garbage to be drawn.
512 - correctly clear xft character background in all cases.
513 - implement bracketed paste mode (xterm private mode 2004).
514 - improve documentation on alpha channel handling, make urxvt
515 work better on servers lacking the RENDER extension when alpha
516 channels or background images are used.

520 - continuously update transparency while moving/resizing now.
521 - OSC 39/49 are deprecated and aliased to OSC 10/11.
522 - cub1 now acts as advertised (and ignores the "wrapped" state).
523 - the 132/80 mode switch now forces a height of 24, too, and
524 resets the terminal.
525 - scrollbar code cleanups.
526 - stopping children is no longer confused with children exiting.
527 - removed (undocumented) #aarrggbb format.
528 - updated to libev 3.0.
529
5308.9 Mon Dec 24 07:51:40 CET 2007
531 - fix the issue where urxvtd would not immediately close a window
532 when the command exited but only on the next X event.
533 - changed terminfo file not to use application keypad mode.
534 - fix the issue where making a selection in one urxvtd window
535 would not clear it visually in another.
536 - fix an issue of urxvt not getting background pixmap updates
537 and flickering after bg pixmap changes (reported by Mikachu).
538 - fix redraw bug in xterm scrollbar with -sr (reported by Mikachu).
539 - correctly provide dependencies for libev (µikachu).
540 - minor code reorganisations and cleanups.
541 - be more robust in case the urxvt-popup extension cannot be loaded.
542
5438.8 Sat Dec 15 19:40:39 CET 2007
544 - option -C was aliased to all unsupported options, activating
545 options that shouldn't be compiled in, leading to interesting
546 effects.
547 - updated libev, working around a bug in linux 2.4, curing the
548 symptom of urxvt not closing its window on shell exit. also
549 fixes a problem with urxvt not refreshing.
550 - the text blink callback was called even when no blinking
551 text was visible.
552 - pre-8.4 slipwheeling behaviour has been reinstated, with
553 some minor improvements.
554 - streamlined x events processing to only flush once per
555 display and not once per terminal window.
556 - quite a bit of minor code cleanups and codesize optimisations.
557
5588.7 Sun Nov 25 10:23:49 CET 2007
559 - update libev with an important bugfix that would cause crashes
560 when closing windows (when using rxvtd, and update is recommended).
561 - do not compile in the block builtin graphics with --disable-frills.
562
5638.6 Fri Nov 23 14:10:57 CET 2007
564 - upgrade libev to disable kqueue on anything but netbsd as it
565 seems to be broken everywhere else w.r.t. ptys.
566 - allow for spurious event notifications, as at least epoll and
567 especially solaris ports like to lie about them (symptoms:
568 urxvt "hangs" until there is some x11 related activity).
569 - -keysym command line options are now subjected to xlib parsing.
570 - add 'xrm' option analogous to Xt one.
571
5728.5a Wed Nov 21 10:16:33 CET 2007

580 - fix memory leak in pixmap code.
581 - fix a serious bug while setting the XIM destroy callback
582 on (typical) 64 bit systems.
583 - automove-background functionality re-implemented internally using :root op in pixmap
584 geometry string. For example: rxvt -pixmap "image.jpg;:root"
585 - do not link rxvtc against every lib on the planet anymore.
586 - parallel builds should work once more.
587
5888.4 Sat Oct 27 14:02:13 CEST 2007

615 extension (tpope).
616 - compile out of the box on Solaris 10 (exg).
617 - fix MappingNotify events (reported by Stephan Walter).

625 - unbundled iom perl interface somewhat.
626 - scrollbar-xterm now uses the selected scrollColor instead of fg
627 (found by Aiviru).
628 - disabled linux kernel bug workaround again: disabling it gives
629 a 50% speed hit on affected machines, while enabling it gives

640 set so its value does not get lost (reported and analysed by Andrei
641 Paskevich).
642 - rip out support for obsolete sgtty.h interface.
643 - rip out support for non-POSIX termios variants.
644 - update libptytty.

646 - when !XFT, change rounding of colours to use a less correct formula to
647 meet user expectancies (#aaa becomes #a000a000a000 not #9f9f9f9f9f9f).
648 - change the starting offset of the pixmap set with backgroundPixmap
649 from (50,50) to (0,0) (exg).
