31http://triplefusion.net/system/macosx-clipboard 42 - kuake extension now uses the kuake.hotkey resource to specify the hotkey.
43 - searchable-scrollback resource has been deprecated (use keysym instead).
44 - extension parameter passing is deprecated (use resource mechanism instead).
45 - upgrade to GPLv3 (see COPYING).
46
479.20 Sat Apr 26 16:22:27 CEST 2014
48 - (libptytty) fix bug that prevented urxvtd from writing utmp
49 entries when using --fork (reported by Ryan Kavanagh).
50 - security bugfix: window property values could be queried even
51 in secure mode (reported by Conor McCarthy).
52 - fix build when perl is enabled and fading is disabled.
53 - fix regression that broke continuous scrolling when pressing
54 and holding the scrollbar up or down button, gentoo bug #493992.
55 - increase the maximum length of a command sequence to 32k bytes,
56 to allow longer OSC sequences (previous limit was 2k).
57 - new Ctrl-Meta-c and Ctrl-Meta-v bindings to interact with
58 the CLIPBOARD selection.
59 - new extension: selection-to-clipboard.
60 - the extensions macosx-clipboard and macosx-clipboard-native
61 are deprecated and will be removed in the next release.
62 Support for the clipboard on OS X can be more generally
63 enabled by setting the XQuartz preference to sync the OS X
64 pasteboard and the X11 clipboard.
65
669.19 Sun Oct 27 17:16:07 CET 2013
67 - work around perl 5.18.0 breakage in tabbed extension
68 (reported by Karol Blazewicz) and in pod (Dominic Hargreaves).
69 - fix regression that caused the double-click word selection to
70 erroneously include a tab on the left of the selected word.
71 - implement FOCUS variable and focus_fade function in background
72 expression, to allow focus-sensitive background images.
73 - add support for the set cursor style (DECSCUSR) control
74 function.
75 - honour cursorColor also when the cursor style is underline.
76 - export some Color_xxx constants to Perl.
77
789.18 Sun Mar 24 15:33:35 CET 2013
79 - fix regression that caused artifacts on resize.
80
819.17 Fri Mar 1 13:46:08 CET 2013
82 - add shade operator in background perl extension.
83 - avoid starting or ending the selection in the middle of wide
84 characters to avoid artifacts (reported by Tiago Resende).
85 - fix artifacts that may occur if the character in the cursor
86 cell has width > 1 (reported by Tiago Resende).
87 - fix regression that causes artifacts on scrolling if
88 saveLines is 0 and the window is resized (reported by Bert
89 Münnich).
90 - fix build when perl is enabled and pixbuf and transparency
91 are disabled.
92
939.16 Thu Dec 27 11:56:43 CET 2012
94 - the "so much new stuff your eyes will pop out" release.
95 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: renamed urlLauncher resource to url-launcher.
96 - fix processing of DEC private mode save sequences (patch by Patrick
97 Hemmer).
98 - perl extensions now have their own manpages, installed as urxvt-NAME(1),
99 e.g. urxvt-background(1) - see urxvt-extensions(1) for a list.
100 - fix disabling of cursor blink with the option-popup menu (based on a
101 patch by Jan Larres).
102 - the font height is not augmented anymore when lineSpace is non zero.
103 - fix "new pagemap" vs. "delete pagemap" mismatch ([] vs. non-[]),
104 as diagnosed by clang.
105 - fix height mismatch between active and inactive cursor when
106 lineSpace is non zero (patch by Stanislav Seletskiy).
107 - make it compile with LOCAL_X_IS_UNIX again (reported by
108 nickfailure@gmail.com).
109 - completely redone background pixmap support - users can now
110 specify arbitrary expressions (And programs) that calculate
111 new terminal backgrounds. see the urxvt-background manpage
112 for details.
113 - xrender is now required for background pixmap support.
114 - perl extensions can now provide commandline switches and resources
115 which show up in -help etc.
116 - iso14755 51 mode window now displays row and column.
117 - implement a -visual switch and move that and -depth to frills, also
118 warn when we can't get the requested visual.
119 - new env variable: RXVT_PERL_LIB.
120 - allocate all screen memory in one go and let the virtual memory
121 subsystem sort it out. this simplifies code, improves access
122 locality, saves a bit of ram and makes things a bit faster, too.
123 - remove support for libafterimage.
124 - update to CVS version of libev, for a whopping 11kb size decrease.
125 - do not ship yet another copy of ecb.h, use the one in libev or
126 libptytty instead.
127 - selectively mark some methods as cache-hot/cache cold, which
128 might speed up execution but definitely decreases codesize.
129 - Fix regression that prevented the scrollbar trough color
130 from being applied (reported by Derek B. Noonburg).
131 - Fix the scrollbar size for rxvt style (patch by Mark Robinson).
132
1339.15 Sat Jan 21 13:36:56 CET 2012
134 - remove "using namespace std" because clang erroneously
135 thinks thats an error.
136 - finding a matching font (e.g. bold version of the base font)
137 was broken (reported by Eamon Walker).
138 - fix parsing of bg image styles. They really work now.
139 - fix blurring of bg image borders when using xrender.
140 - fix xrender blur on common xrender implementations that do
141 not behave correctly when the same pixmap is used as source
142 and destination in composite operations.
143 - fix regression that caused tabbed to compute the wrong size
144 for tabs.
145 - allow again an empty suffix in a keysym list spec (patch by
146 Sung Pae).
147 - unsupported support for sun studio's CC added.
148 - fix -C option on solaris.
149
1509.14 Wed Dec 21 18:40:33 CET 2011
151 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: the urxvtd default socket path is now
152 $HOME/.urxvt/urxvtd-<nodename>.
153 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: the "list" keysym expansion now requires
154 loading of the "keysym-list" perl extension.
155 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: A scale value of 0 in the bg image
156 geometry no longer enables tiling, so as to make it possible
157 to disable both scaling and tiling.
158 - overhaul of the bg image operations. The old operations have
159 been deprecated in favour of elementary operations and
160 styles built on top of the new operations and scale/position
161 settings. (Emanuele Giaquinta).
162 - support for libafterimage is deprecated and will be removed
163 in the next release.
164 - fix a crash caused by selection_check not properly resetting
165 out-of-bounds mark values (can happen when extending a selection
166 while scrolling up in curses programs for example).
167 - do not move the selection when scrolling up and the selection is
168 outside the scrolling region (Emanuele Giaquinta).
169 - fix display of bold bright black (reported by Ben Winslow).
170 - fix memory leak when urgentOnBell is set (patch by Nathaniel
171 Filardo).
172 - fix a redraw bug that occurs when a bg pixmap is set and the
173 wm does not honour the size hints set by urxvt. Now urxvt
174 forces the size of the terminal window to be a multiple of
175 the cell size.
176 - sanitise the argument of SD / SU sequences. Fixes a possible
177 crash when the argument is big enough, red hat bug #711137
178 (Emanuele Giaquinta).
179 - correctly split long lines when scrolling.
180 - urxvt now looks for perl extensions also in $HOME/.urxvt/ext.
181 - add bell-command perl extension to execute a command when a
182 bell event occurs (Ryan Kavanagh).
183 - add set_urgency perl binding to set/reset the urgency hint.
184 - consume button release event in matcher (exg).
185 - keyboard accessible list of recent matches in matcher
186 (Bob Farrell).
187 - properly process 'keysym' sequences in tabbed when using
188 'focus follows mouse' and the focus is on the main window
189 but not on the active terminal window (patch by Martin
190 Pohlack).
191 - support for the freedesktop startup-notification protocol (patch by
192 Michael Stapelberg).
193 - the direction of VPR and VPB commands was reversed.
194 - fix alignment of inherited root pixmap when it is a different size
195 than the root window and the terminal window is off the left or top
196 edge (Mikachu).
197 - make $self visible in "eval perl expression" popup action, also
198 handle exceptions better.
199 - fix parsing of '-e' when it occurs as an option argument, such as in
200 'urxvt -title -e' (Emanuele Giaquinta).
201
2029.12 Wed Jun 29 14:34:28 CEST 2011
203 - fix regression in processing of SelectionNotify events.
204 urxvt would fail to request a selection if the owner did not
205 support the UTF8_STRING target.
206 - fix rendering of double width chars in certain circumstances, more
207 likely to happen if urxvt is compiled with 256 colors support as
208 urxvt runs out of fonts much earlier then. Fixes gentoo bug #358151
209 (Emanuele Giaquinta).
210 - restore support for 'list' syntax in keysym resources (requested by Sung Pae).
211 - always premultiply colour values - while this increases differences between
212 core fonts and xft, it is "more correct" in practical situations.
213 - disable PTYTTY_REENTRANT option - not needed for urxvt and saves a bit of code.
214 - remove lucidatypewriter from the list of fallback fonts, it was the only
215 non-xft non-cellfont in the list anyway.
216
2179.11 Mon May 2 10:34:46 CEST 2011
218 - fix compilation on GNU/Hurd, debian bug #624736.
219 - remove 'list' syntax for keysym resources, as it serves no useful purpose.
220 If you need it, poke us and provide a use case.
221 - fix alpha channel support. Premultiply alpha in colours if the visual
222 supports an alpha channel, as xrender expects premultiplied alpha
223 (Emanuele Giaquinta).
224 - fix reply to a selection request sent by an obsolete client
225 such as syncterm (patch by Marcin Cieslak).
226 - fix crash when the window is resized and the overlay is active
227 (Emanuele Giaquinta, reported by Ryan Kavanagh).
228 - match character-wise rather than byte-wise in selection
229 extension again. perl 5.8.9+ is required to avoid extreme
230 slowdowns. Fixes debian bugs #523072, #616463.
231 - fix a possible crash if the INCR transfer process for a
232 selection property timeouts and at least one chunk is
233 received. (Emanuele Giaquinta)
234 - work around a memory corruption bug in xorg's XrmSetDatabase (apparently
235 broken since http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/xorg-commit-diffs/2004-March/000239.html).
236 - fix memory corruption bug when custom command sequences bound to keys
237 were injected into an already-full pty input buffer.
238 - gdk-pixbuf is autodetected by default and preferred over libafterimage.
239 - do not prepend a newline to the selection text when the starting line
240 of the selection is not highlighted (Emanuele Giaquinta).
241 - don't swap perl env with real env, save and restore it, just in case
242 we ever get recursive perl invocations. also saves a bit of codespace
243 with gcc.
244 - fix various memory leaks (Emanuele Giaquinta).
245 - fix typo in kIC terminfo capability, debian bug #446444.
246 - document 'thickness' resource.
247 - fix debian bug #504817, to the extent possible.
248 - try to detect byte order at compile time, saves a couple of
249 hundred bytes, if your compiler is smart enough.
250 - add support for previewing the pasted data in confirm-paste
251 (Emanuele Giaquinta).
252 - added "newlines to spaces" option in selection-popup.
253 - actually enabled solaris event ports backend (was disabled by accident).
254 - revert to 38400 baud max., mission accomplished.
255 - no longer create scary "pty_fill: PLEASE REPORT" message, instead,
256 silently drain the input (problem is well understood now).
257 - no longer swallow rob nation's own graphics mode commands.
258
2599.10 Mon Dec 13 17:43:52 CET 2010
260 - the "schmorp=north korea dickey=south korea" release.
261 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: make OSC 20 simpler and more correct
262 (Emanuele Giaquinta).
263 - if options were compiled out, this could lead to the option
264 count to be defined wrongly. This is likely behind the
265 failures with gcc 4.5.
266 - explicitly depend on fontconfig and xrender when xft support
267 is enabled. Although the public Xft api uses types from
268 both, in Xft 2.2.0 these libs are private
269 dependencies only thanks to an idiotic behaviour of
270 pkg-config that was added to workaround cases like this one.
271 Fixes linking when using GNU ld with --as-needed or GNU gold
272 (based on patch by Jan Palus).
273 - fix minor memory leaks in urxvt and urxvtd.
274 - fix regression in urxvtd that prevented options from being correctly
275 set (reported by Michal Vaner).
276 - implement xterm's horribly broken 1005 mouse reporting mode,
277 and an alternative 1015 mode that works in non-utf-8 locales
278 and has fewer limitations.
279 - fix a possible bug where mouse notifications didn't work after
280 startup for the upper left corner.
281 - implement our own pixbuf to pixmap rendering to get rid of
282 dependency on buggy gdk-pixbuf-xlib. Only truecolor visuals
283 are supported (Emanuele Giaquinta).
284 - apply tinting before shading when both operations are requested.
285 Previously they were intermixed when lightening and the result
286 was inaccurate and confusing. Note that now a black tint yields a
287 completely black image, regardless of shading (Emanuele Giaquinta).
288 - avoid spurious redraws of the bg image when bg is transparent or
289 when using 'root' mode (Emanuele Giaquinta).
290 - fix build on XFree86.
291 - dynamically number options according to compiletime requirements.
292 For the extra saved byte. Or so. Yay.
293 - start options at one, not zero. Wastes a bit per terminal. Maybe.
294 saves 50 instruction bytes. Possibly.
295
2969.09 Sat Nov 13 01:39:07 CET 2010
297 - NOTICE: this release updates terminfo/termcap.
298 - the bestest release ever.

301 - add support for using gdk-pixbuf as image backend (Emanuele Giaquinta).
302 - cleanup and minor fixes of the image code (Emanuele Giaquinta).
303 - new perl extension "confirm-paste" (Emanuele Giaquinta).
304 - new on_tt_paste perl hook and tt_paste perl binding (Emanuele Giaquinta).
305 - new on_bell perl hook (Emanuele Giaquinta).
306 - searchable-scrollback no longer ignores the first line
307 (Emanuele Giaquinta).
308 - properly set VSTATUS in termios for *BSD (reported by Ed Schouten).
309 - fix utmpx detection on upcoming FreeBSD 9.
310 - Use COMPOUND_TEXT encoding for WM_NAME/WM_ICON_NAME value when it
311 is not fully convertible to STRING (patch by James Cloos).
312 - fix a buffer overflow that would cause wrong key sequences to
313 be generated for numpad keys (introduced in 9.05).
314 - fix definition of sgr0 to work around limitations in luit.
315 - extend ISO 14755 5.4 mode to also print the font name of the
316 characters other than first one in the selected cell
317 (Emanuele Giaquinta).
318 - new iso14755 option to disable ISO 14755 at runtime
319 (Emanuele Giaquinta).
320 - make sure pagewise scrolling scrolls at least one line
321 (found by Mikachu).
322 - remove deprecated OSC 18 / 19 and make OSC 17 / 19 apply to
323 highlightColor / highlightTextColor (Emanuele Giaquinta).
324 - add highlightTextColor resource to change the foreground colour of
325 highlighted characters (Emanuele Giaquinta).
326 - make highlightColor apply also to selected cells with reverse video
327 but not to non selected cells with reverse video (Emanuele Giaquinta).
328 - remove colorRV resource (it was enabled only with frills off).
329 - fix numlock handling, the most longstanding bug to date (Emanuele Giaquinta).
330 - reduce the number of custom bits to 4, to make room
331 for 256 colours.
332 - add support for 256 colors (Emanuele Giaquinta, Marc Lehmann).
333 - add rxvt-unicode-256color terminfo and use it by default in 256 colors mode.
334 - update rxvt-unicode terminfo to state 7744 colour pairs to cover all
335 88*88 possible pairs.
336 - actually added macosx-clipboard-native, which should have been in
337 the 9.07 release but had been forgotten.
338 - fix hang if DECAWM is not set and there are not enough columns to insert a
339 character (Emanuele Giaquinta).
340 - cub1 ("backspace") will now respect wrapping when past the rightmost column,
341 working around a shortcoming of most tty line discipline's line editing.
342 - add support for grabbing the clipboard selection and extend
343 selection{_clear,_grab,} perl bindings to optionally work
344 on the clipboard selection (based on patch by Dana Jansens).
345 - no longer force CERASE to BACKSPACE - use the system default. affects
346 default value for VERASE only when no compatible setting for
347 backspacekey was given.
348 - use higher than 38400 baudrate setting, if detected.
349 - erase screen would clear to the wrong background when blinking
350 was enabled (which selects high intensity under some circumstances).
351 - scr_kill_char didn't touch the line.
352 - upgrade and port to libev-4.01.
353 - enabled solaris event ports and kqueue backends (if available).
354
3559.07 Wed Dec 30 07:07:18 CET 2009
356 - port to glibc-2.10 changes (strchr etc. returning const char *
357 in C++), based on patches by Milos Jakubicek and Oliver Mader.
358 - the binary search algorithm to find precomposed characters
359 was faulty, skipping some possible combinations (found by
360 Mikachu).
361 - new -letterspace option, patch by Mark H. Wilkinson.
362 - enable --mlock option for urxvt with frills on
363 systems supporting it (patch by Russell Harmon).
364 - urxvt did not compile without frills enabled
365 (analysed by Matthew Rosewarne).
366 - correctly reset the mbstate after an illegal
367 input sequence when handling terminal output (Emanuele Giaquinta).
368 - avoid redrawing wide characters with combining enabled on every
369 refresh (reported by Mikachu).
370 - fix a typo preventing the ISO-646.1991 character set from being
371 recognized (http://achurch.org/patch-pile/).
372 - better warning for x11 font encoding detection failures, also,
373 try to deduce encoding from both font properties and name
374 (adapted from http://achurch.org/patch-pile/).
375 - resizing the window with the scrollbar disabled via the escapes
376 sequence could make the window bigger again (Mikachu).
377 - make sure the alignment for fd passing control messages
378 is correct and work around some NetBSD issues (Taylor R Campbell).
379 - update to libptytty 1.3.
380 - replace macosx-clipboard by a nicer version by Reza Jelveh, and move
381 the old version to macosx-clipboard-native.
382 - document the -uc option (Emanuele Giaquinta).
383 - assertions in libev are now enabled depending on frills.
384 - update AnyEvent implementation to version 5.23 API.
385 - work around arrogant bsd idiocies again: netbsd spills the default
386 namespace with lots of symbols "for gnu/gcc compatibility" even
387 though neither of them does it, and then calls the rest of the world
388 in need of fixing. go figure.
389 - on_keyboard_command is on_user_command (patch by Michael Witten).
390 - setting the selection from perl will now reset the selection screen
391 to the current screen. the screen can be manipulated using
392 the new ->selection_screen method.
393 - implement --enable-assert configure option and get rid of DEBUG_STRICT
394 (based on patch by Emanuele Giaquinta).

397 - upgrade to libev-3.9 prerelease.
398 - updated compose tables to unicode 5.2.0.
399
4009.06 Sat Nov 8 17:47:18 CET 2008
401 - NOTICE: this release updates terminfo/termcap.
402 - updates libev to 3.48.
403 - the aterm code now frees the as visual and image manager objects
404 when a window was closed.
405 - do not (wrongly) adjust the virtual line length inside
406 scr_insdel_chars/ERASE (Miroslav Lichvar).
407 - fix an issue where wide tab characters caused character shifts
408 when part of them was deleted (tracked down by Miroslav Lichvar).
409 - artificially enlargen the previous character at the end of a line
410 when trying to output a character that doesn't fit. looks ugly, but
411 makes copy&paste work.
412 - remove bogus "setuid/setgid security issues" from rxvt.1.pod, they
413 no longer apply.
414 - the urgency hint is now cleared on both focus in and focus out.
415 - cache urgency hint locally to avoid server rtt on every focus change.
416 - perl 5.10 needs PERL_SYS_INIT3 on hppa.
417 - ignore byte-order marks and do not treat them like combining characters.
418 - fix build issue when CURSOR_BLINK is not defined (Emanuele Giaquinta).

421 monopolising the whole process by outputting a lot of text.
422 - try to work around linux first breaking sched_yield and now breaking
423 the only known workaround.
424 - new option -icon to set _NET_WM_ICON (based on patch by Frank Schmitt).

428 client windows on hint property updates by temporarily
429 disabling size hints.
430 - implement the DECSTR soft reset sequence and use it for tput init,
431 and make hard RIS and DECSTR both reset more private modes, such
432 as mouse reporting.
433 - redundantly clear mouse reporting and a few other states in
434 tput init/tput reset, for older urxvts.
435 - partial/full clear screens did cause flickering and possibly pixel
436 droppings when urxvt viewed the scrollback buffer.
437 - use current rendition style in DCH sequence.
438 - the 132/80 mode switch no longer forces a screen reset.

452 with more than 31 file descriptors on non-linux 64 bit systems.
453 - correctly reset the multibyte state to the initial one

474
4759.01 Sat Jan 26 20:49:27 CET 2008
476 - be more aggressive about handling X events, this seems to be required
477 with newer xlibs (should fix the "screen stays black until event is

480
4819.0 Fri Jan 25 19:34:04 CET 2008
482 - fix a crash bug where urxvtd would crash when urxvtc was called
483 with wrong arguments (I wish debian maintainers in general would
484 report bugs and their proposed fixes to the original package maintainers
485 instead of sitting on them for good measure to see if anybody notices).
486 - drawing xft compose characters was causing garbage to be drawn.
487 - correctly clear xft character background in all cases.
488 - implement bracketed paste mode (xterm private mode 2004).

495 - continuously update transparency while moving/resizing now.
496 - OSC 39/49 are deprecated and aliased to OSC 10/11.
497 - cub1 now acts as advertised (and ignores the "wrapped" state).

499 resets the terminal.
500 - scrollbar code cleanups.
501 - stopping children is no longer confused with children exiting.
502 - removed (undocumented) #aarrggbb format.
503 - updated to libev 3.0.
504
5058.9 Mon Dec 24 07:51:40 CET 2007
506 - fix the issue where urxvtd would not immediately close a window

512 and flickering after bg pixmap changes (reported by Mikachu).
513 - fix redraw bug in xterm scrollbar with -sr (reported by Mikachu).

520 options that shouldn't be compiled in, leading to interesting
521 effects.

523 symptom of urxvt not closing its window on shell exit. also
524 fixes a problem with urxvt not refreshing.
525 - the text blink callback was called even when no blinking
526 text was visible.
527 - pre-8.4 slipwheeling behaviour has been reinstated, with
528 some minor improvements.
529 - streamlined x events processing to only flush once per
530 display and not once per terminal window.
531 - quite a bit of minor code cleanups and codesize optimisations.
532
5338.7 Sun Nov 25 10:23:49 CET 2007
534 - update libev with an important bugfix that would cause crashes
535 when closing windows (when using rxvtd, and update is recommended).
536 - do not compile in the block builtin graphics with --disable-frills.
537
5388.6 Fri Nov 23 14:10:57 CET 2007
539 - upgrade libev to disable kqueue on anything but netbsd as it
540 seems to be broken everywhere else w.r.t. ptys.
541 - allow for spurious event notifications, as at least epoll and
542 especially solaris ports like to lie about them (symptoms:
543 urxvt "hangs" until there is some x11 related activity).
544 - -keysym command line options are now subjected to xlib parsing.
545 - add 'xrm' option analogous to Xt one.

555 - fix memory leak in pixmap code.
556 - fix a serious bug while setting the XIM destroy callback
557 on (typical) 64 bit systems.
558 - automove-background functionality re-implemented internally using :root op in pixmap
559 geometry string. For example: rxvt -pixmap "image.jpg;:root"
560 - do not link rxvtc against every lib on the planet anymore.
561 - parallel builds should work once more.

590 extension (tpope).
591 - compile out of the box on Solaris 10 (exg).
592 - fix MappingNotify events (reported by Stephan Walter).

602 (found by Aiviru).
603 - disabled linux kernel bug workaround again: disabling it gives
604 a 50% speed hit on affected machines, while enabling it gives

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