328.0 Thu Nov 2 18:35:19 CET 2006
33 - combining characters cleared the area instead of creating an overlay,
34 thus losing the ability to draw combining characters properly in most
35 circumstances (reported by exg).
36 - specified fonts were incorrectly morphed to bold/italic according to the
37 basefont, even if explicitly specified (tracked down by tpope).
38 - fixed urxvt::strwidth to calculate width in the same way as screen.C.
39 - fix a crash caused by passing negative widths to overlay functions.
40 - added 'matcher' extension by tpope, replacing the mark-urls extension.
41 - improve url regex to match anything www.* (tpope).
42 - fixed bug with outline cursor color being wrong after xft fonts.
43 - update to libptytty-1.0.
44 - give proper diagnostic when RXVT_SOCKET is too long instead of
45 corrupting the stack (patch by exg).
46 - display current terminal locale in option menu.
47 - urxvtd no longer crashes when the client sends an inaccessible
48 working directory (reported by Roland Baer, possibly fixes gentoo
49 bug #143985).
50 - fixed many minor issues reported by Roland Baer.
51 - Leonid Khramov spotted a minor glitch in rxvtfont.C that
52 should not have any consequences, but was buggy nonetheless.
53 - manpage fix by exg.
54
557.9 Mon Aug 7 18:16:07 CEST 2006
56 - fix the crashing bug people encountered with 7.8 + urxvtd + perl
57 + transparency. Ought to fix debian bug #380348.
58 - fix urxvtc.1.pod: it actually claimed -pty-fd would not work. But
59 it does! :->
60 - rxvt_fatal() in case the locale string is too long for our static buffer.
61 - fixed many, many, typos in the manpages (patch supplied by ves).
62
637.8 Mon Jul 17 21:00:46 CEST 2006
64 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: this version will always read ~/.Xdefaults,
65 earlier versions only read it if display-resources (usually from
66 .Xresources) are not set. This avoids the #1 FAQ ("why isn't my
67 resource used") and seems to be logical behaviour, too. .Xdefaults
68 resources have a lower priority than display-specific resources.
69 - add "kuake" perl extension that does a similar thing to the kuake
70 terminal emulator (see man urxtvperl).
71 - use less "correct" color scaling that is compatible with libX11 and
72 Xft (avoids off-by-one colors resulting in striped backgrounds).
73 - the "depth" resource is now respected.
74 - preset the searchable-scrollback pattern with "(?i)" to default search
75 to case-insensitivity. Will automatically be cleared when typing an
76 uppercase character.
77 - add FORCE_UNBUFFERED_XFT define to features.h.
78 - re-enabled highlightcolor support with --enable-frills, based on
79 a patch by Martin Stubenschrott.
80 - double-buffered xft drawing did suffer from pixel offset issues
81 when pixmap transparency was enabled.
82 - strategically add # to the url-match regexes, as we really want to
83 match common URIs not common URLs. Reported by Aaron Griffin.
84 - moved on_osc_seq to on_osc_seq_perl and added a more
85 generic osc_seq.
86 - fix a bug causing double callback invocations when perl hooks
87 were invoked recursively.
88 - the automove-background extension now properly works when the
89 pixmap gets reset with an osc sequence (sqweek).
90 - selection-pastebin did not work properly with non-latin1-characters.
91 - apply colorUL only when the text colour is the default fg
92 (patch by Wu Fengguang).
93 - removed rxvtlib.h from the tarball, it had no reason to be there
94 (spotted by Decklin Foster).
95 - fix compiling with TRANSPARENT but !XPM_BACKGROUND, as reported
96 by omatunto_.
97 - slap in a using namespace std, might help on platforms that don't
98 follow C++ closely enough.
99 - fix mailto url regex, spotted within milliseconds by Jost Krieger.
100 - applied fade_color_update_func.patch by WU Fengguang.
101 - fix a bug where (due to an optimisation in av_delete), hiding the
102 bottom-most overlay would hide two overlays.
103
1047.7 Tue Feb 21 12:32:49 CET 2006
105 - use double-buffered drawing (xft fonts only). On many driver/hardware
106 combination this actually increases xft drawing speed, at the expense
107 of more network bandwidth and slight nausea on the side of the author.
108 - readline perl extension now requires shift-click instead of a normal
109 click, and eats the click.
110 - tabbed perl extension now supports -e.
111 - disabled graphics-exposures on the main drawing GC, report any
112 refresh bugs please.
113 - improve property handling for -pe tabbed: avoid unnecessary property
114 changes (for kde's benefit) at the expense of extra round-trips,
115 improve size hint setting.
116 - modified XIM according to a patch sent by Takano Akio that sets
117 the preedit rectangle for OverTheSpot, which helps some input methods
118 to correctly position their preedit window.
119 - un-optimise the line clearing on newly scrolled-in lines a bit: the
120 former reasoning was that any fg colour on default bg looks the same
121 in empty spaces, but thats not true when reversing (e.g. selection),
122 so also check for matching fg colours. This fixes the problem where
123 selecting newly scrolled-in lines would exhibit wrong colours.
124 - fix a bug in the perl interface causing focus in events to generate
125 focus out perl events, causing bad focus effects with -pe tabbed.
126 - fix a race resulting in a crash on exiting.
127 - fix a with --disable-xft that caused xfreecolors to be called on
128 colors never allocated, resulting in aborts (reported by Paco-Paco).
129 - resources on non-initial screens weren't refetched correctly
130 (reported by Paco-Paco).
131 - fix a bug in xcopyarea pass and _disable_ it, as it seems not to be
132 working in either rxvt-unicode nor in the original rxvt.
133 - removed undocumented -exec alias for the -e option.
134
1357.6 Fri Feb 10 08:52:36 CET 2006
136 - changed interpretation of [alpha] colour prefix.
137 - +option now really sets the option to default, instead of using the
138 resource value.
139 - options that require an argument now really _require_ an argument.
140 - the tabbed extension now forwards focus and keys events to th
141 relevant tab window.
142 - tab colours are now configurable and have sensible defaults
143 (initial patch by hednod).
144 - option menu is extendable, readline, selection and
145 selection-autotransform can now be disabled/enabled at runtime.
146 - forcing a configure event to tabbed subwindows with -pe tabbed, for
147 the benefit of automove-background.
148 - the automove-background extension added a wrong constant offset.
149 - force refresh of XA_RESOURCE_STRING on virtual reconnect.
150 - return exit status 2 in urxvtc when urxvtd couldn't be contacted.
151 - the linux yield hack is back, now using usleep, and enabled only on
152 __linux__.
153 - further round trip eliminations in the !XFT case by remembering
154 the colour components.
155 - plain scrollbar works better with -sr.
156 - fixed half-shadow scrollbar look.
157 - more colour rtt optimisations.
158 - properly(?) free colours on window close.
159 - reorganised the FAQ into multiple sections.
160 - add ISO646.1991-IRV to the list of supported codesets.
161 - minor libptytty update.
162
1637.5 Tue Jan 31 15:15:43 CET 2006
164 - further improvements to the careful mode detection, and font width
165 detection:
166 - fully double-wide fonts will now be correctly treated,
167 - overlap detection was improved.
168 - detect totally broken fonts (usually synthesized by xft).
169 - careful mode forced refresh sometimes clashed with blinking,
170 causing unnecessary screen redraws.
171 - better handling of XFT combining characters.
172 - enable antialiasing for some replacement fonts, as they
173 might get used for other encodings which really need it, later.
174 - remove spacing=100 from all default fonts, as this creates totally
175 weird spacing (5 times normal) with xft.
176 - removed iso10646 fallback, as xorgs iso10646 encoded fonts are mostly
177 broken.
178 - removed gnu unifont fallback, all combining characters are broken.
179 - replace named colours by xorg's rgb.txt equivalents, to
180 reduce round trip time on startup, and short-cut allocation
181 of rgb:rr/gg/bb for xft.
182 - short-cut allocation of rgb values in the xlib case
183 (patch by Paco-Paco).
184 - overhauled color management: smaller codesize, alpha support.
185 - support "rgba:rrrr/gggg/bbbb/aaaa" color specifications and
186 an "[alpha]" prefix.
187 - try to work around Xft and Xrender forcing everything to be 100%
188 transparent. Long Live Xft!
189 - do not include X11/Intrinsic.h anymore, directly use
190 Xlib/Xutil/Xresource directly.
191 - try to find a nearest matching color when color allocation fails
192 on a pseudocolor screen.
193 - SYNCCVS: compared to rxvt-cvs 2006-01-28, no relevant changes.
194 - fix version report (DA) (which was unfortunately broken).
195 - changed version number report again, now to emulate xterm closer.
196 - added the OSC sequence 702 to detect the urxvt version number.
197 - small configure updates.
198 - further RTT optimisations.
199 - backported clean-up patches for makefiles and documentation from
200 the debian package.
201 - updated doc/rxvt-unicode.spec file. It's still not maintained here,
202 but much newer than the old one.
203
2047.4 Sat Jan 28 15:26:27 CET 2006
205 - screen background wasn't always erased properly when scrolling,
206 - re-enabled clearing optimisation disabled in 7.4pre.
207 - small configure updates for libptytty.
208 - fixed version options: line output.
209 - removed stoopid debugging message left in the code.
210
2117.3 Wed Jan 25 22:47:35 CET 2006
212 - don't let iso14755 or mouse reporting get into the way of perl
213 (could lead to global grabs never being cleared).
214 - experimental OnTheSpot editing support (-pe xim-onthespot).
215 - moved Shift-Button2 paste combination to Meta-Button2.
216 - the cutchars resource will now be respected and used by the
217 selection extension.
218 - added the "remote-clipboard" extension which just runs external
219 commands to fetch and store the selection data.
220 - added -depth switch that tries to get a different visual depth
221 than the default (replaces the old PREFER_24_BIT logic).
222 - removed (unused) arabic presentation form composing sequences.
223 - be more strict when deciding that a core font glyph is too wide and
224 needs the careful rendering mode.
225 - allow more leeway for italic fonts when deciding that a character is
226 too wide and needs careful mode.
227 - redraw even more characters around characters using careful mode.
228 - made selection-pastebin fully asynchronous.
229 - reduced number of server turnarounds at startup by allocating
230 atoms only once per display.
231 - renamed on_keyboard_command to on_user_command.
232 - changed version sos (ESC [ > c) response to be more compatible with
233 xterm.
234
2357.2 Sun Jan 22 21:58:16 CET 2006
236 - bugfix: urxvt (not urxvtd) did not correctly handle multiple
237 environments necessary, which resulted in segfaults within
238 getenv (reproducable: urxvt -fn 9x15, open a menu once,
239 ctrl-shift-672c).
240 - bugfix: the selection speedup in in 7.1 unfortunately caused
241 non-ascii characters to enlarge/move the selection.
242 - bugfix: resizing sometimes leaked lines from the secondary to
243 the primary screen.
244 - bugfix: reducing window size while large amounts of text were output
245 could lead to an assertion failure.
246 - added "tabbed" extension that provides a crude tabbed terminal.
247 - added "readline" extension that allows cursor positioning
248 via mouse clicks.
249 - now it is possible to insert the value of the CLIPBOARD selection
250 with shift - mouse button 2.
251 - fixed the automove-background extension to ignore coordinates
252 in non-synthetic events.
253 - created a separate libpty for portable and secure
254 pty/tty/utmp/wtmp/lastlog handling, and include it in rxvt-unicode.
255 - the non-terminfo visual bell now works asynchronously, so
256 continuous ASCI BELs in one terminal do no longer monopolise the
257 whole urxvt[d] process.
258 - support some *BSD makes (for the time being, gnu make is a safe bet).
259 - work around bugs in FreeBSD's gcc.
260 - implemented some *BSD fixes in configure.
261 - removed support for obsolete offix dnd protocol.
262
2637.1 Thu Jan 19 20:25:34 CET 2006
264 - setuid/setgid operation is now _encouraged_: security has been
18 encouraged, by moving privileged operations into a separate 265 improved by moving privileged operations into a separate process
19 process and permanently dropping privileges within the 266 and permanently dropping privileges within the terminal. This

22 run with special privileges. 269 special privileges.
270 - perl taint checking disabled, as urxvt no longer runs setuid/setgid
271 itself.
272 - new perl extension automove-background that can be used to get
273 the same effect as pseudo-transparency with any pixmap.
274 - new perl extension example: perl/selection-pastebin, can be used to
275 e.g. upload the selection to a webserver and generate a url, or
276 similar stuff.
23 - use the scrollback buffer even when the scroll region doesn't 277 - use the scrollback buffer even when the scroll region doesn't
24 span the whole screen, as long as it starts at row 0. 278 span the whole screen, as long as it starts at row 0. Helps
25 - swap the environment in some more cases. This hopefully fixes 279 for programs displaying a status line at the bottom.
26 some segfaults that might be caused by xft asking for env variables
27 at the wrong time.
28 - selection popup now shows selection in dec/hex/oct. 280 - selection popup now shows selection in dec/hex/oct.
