3TODO: harmonize --disable-options into position-dependent options. 3TODO: xcopyarea pass broken, fix and improve
4TODO: after requesting the selection and getting a timeout, no further requests will be sent. 4TODO: event mechanism that replaces on_keyboard_command with something more scalable.
5TODO: slipwheeling needs a keyboard grab to get key release events.
6TODO: overlays collide with the way the out-of-focus cursor is being drawn
5TODO: "slow" rendering mode for bidi and scripts 7TODO: "slow" rendering mode for bidi and scripts, pango!
6TODO: read property sequence is broken with respect to utf-8 etc. 8TODO: read property sequence is broken with respect to utf-8 etc.
9TODO: slow drag selection on remote display - other things seem fast (rxvt illness, motion hints?)
10TODO: investigate -pe tabbed -g 80x25 being 23 not 24 or 25 lines
11 => when setting the constraints, the wm might (correctly)
12 resize the outer window, which might result in a smaller window overall.
13 or something like that. guys, send me a patch.
14WISH: skipscroll option
15WISH: selection-color-pair instead of reverse video
16WISH: load system-wide config file even if we don't have one
17WISH: look into XAddConnectionWatch, does anybody need that?
18WISH: anyevent mouse notification / manage MotionMask better.
7TODO: http://www120.pair.com/mccarthy/nextstep/intro.htmld/Workspace.html is the correct nextstep look. 19WISH: http://www120.pair.com/mccarthy/nextstep/intro.htmld/Workspace.html is the correct nextstep scrollbar look.
8WISH: OnTheSpot editing, or maybe switch to miiiiiiif 20WISH: kick out xpm.C, replace by pixbuf
9WISH: just for fun, do shade and tint with XRender.
10WISH: support tex fonts 21DUMB: support tex fonts

25TODO: wcwidth optimisaiton for <= 0xff is bogus, go to 0x7f or measure (Dai.H.)
26TODO: strwidth bug
27TODO:
28TODO: 0:52 <mmc> I think, that urxvt has the same bug as rxvt: FocusIn detail=NotifyPointer
29TODO: (and I care only on case mode=NotifyGrab) is interpreted as FocusIn, so
30TODO: the cursor is filled (while the input focus is actually elsewhere).
31TODO: 0:57 <schmorp> how to reproduce?
32TODO: 0:59 * MinceR snickers
33TODO: 1:00 <mmc> reproduce: place pointer above the rxvt window. Then grab the keyboard
34TODO: somehow (I do it by invoking prompt of my window manager).
35TODO:
36TODO: 9:55 <Wolf_on_Air> not much to document, it needs
37TODO: 9:55 <Wolf_on_Air> URxvt.keysym.M-c: perl:clipboard:copy

408.
41 - secondaryScroll is now enable by default (as per the manpage),
42 reported by exg.
43
448.0 Thu Nov 2 18:35:19 CET 2006
45 - combining characters cleared the area instead of creating an overlay,
46 thus losing the ability to draw combining characters properly in most
47 circumstances (reported by exg).
48 - specified fonts were incorrectly morphed to bold/italic according to the
49 basefont, even if explicitly specified (tracked down by tpope).
50 - fixed urxvt::strwidth to calculate width in the same way as screen.C.
51 - fix a crash caused by passing negative widths to overlay functions.
52 - added 'matcher' extension by tpope, replacing the mark-urls extension.
53 - improve url regex to match anything www.* (tpope).
54 - fixed bug with outline cursor color being wrong after xft fonts.
55 - update to libptytty-1.0.
56 - give proper diagnostic when RXVT_SOCKET is too long instead of
57 corrupting the stack (patch by exg).
58 - display current terminal locale in option menu.
59 - urxvtd no longer crashes when the client sends an inaccessible
60 working directory (reported by Roland Baer, possibly fixes gentoo
61 bug #143985).
62 - fixed many minor issues reported by Roland Baer.
63 - Leonid Khramov spotted a minor glitch in rxvtfont.C that
64 should not have any consequences, but was buggy nonetheless.
65 - manpage fix by exg.
66
677.9 Mon Aug 7 18:16:07 CEST 2006
68 - fix the crashing bug people encountered with 7.8 + urxvtd + perl
69 + transparency. Ought to fix debian bug #380348.
70 - fix urxvtc.1.pod: it actually claimed -pty-fd would not work. But
71 it does! :->
72 - rxvt_fatal() in case the locale string is too long for our static buffer.
73 - fixed many, many, typos in the manpages (patch supplied by ves).
74
757.8 Mon Jul 17 21:00:46 CEST 2006
76 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: this version will always read ~/.Xdefaults,
77 earlier versions only read it if display-resources (usually from
78 .Xresources) are not set. This avoids the #1 FAQ ("why isn't my
79 resource used") and seems to be logical behaviour, too. .Xdefaults
80 resources have a lower priority than display-specific resources.
81 - add "kuake" perl extension that does a similar thing to the kuake
82 terminal emulator (see man urxtvperl).
83 - use less "correct" color scaling that is compatible with libX11 and
84 Xft (avoids off-by-one colors resulting in striped backgrounds).
85 - the "depth" resource is now respected.
86 - preset the searchable-scrollback pattern with "(?i)" to default search
87 to case-insensitivity. Will automatically be cleared when typing an
88 uppercase character.
89 - add FORCE_UNBUFFERED_XFT define to features.h.
90 - re-enabled highlightcolor support with --enable-frills, based on
91 a patch by Martin Stubenschrott.
92 - double-buffered xft drawing did suffer from pixel offset issues
93 when pixmap transparency was enabled.
94 - strategically add # to the url-match regexes, as we really want to
95 match common URIs not common URLs. Reported by Aaron Griffin.
96 - moved on_osc_seq to on_osc_seq_perl and added a more
97 generic osc_seq.
98 - fix a bug causing double callback invocations when perl hooks
99 were invoked recursively.
100 - the automove-background extension now properly works when the
101 pixmap gets reset with an osc sequence (sqweek).
102 - selection-pastebin did not work properly with non-latin1-characters.
103 - apply colorUL only when the text colour is the default fg
104 (patch by Wu Fengguang).
105 - removed rxvtlib.h from the tarball, it had no reason to be there
106 (spotted by Decklin Foster).
107 - fix compiling with TRANSPARENT but !XPM_BACKGROUND, as reported
108 by omatunto_.
109 - slap in a using namespace std, might help on platforms that don't
110 follow C++ closely enough.
111 - fix mailto url regex, spotted within milliseconds by Jost Krieger.
112 - applied fade_color_update_func.patch by WU Fengguang.
113 - fix a bug where (due to an optimisation in av_delete), hiding the
114 bottom-most overlay would hide two overlays.
115
1167.7 Tue Feb 21 12:32:49 CET 2006
117 - use double-buffered drawing (xft fonts only). On many driver/hardware
118 combination this actually increases xft drawing speed, at the expense
119 of more network bandwidth and slight nausea on the side of the author.
120 - readline perl extension now requires shift-click instead of a normal
121 click, and eats the click.
122 - tabbed perl extension now supports -e.
123 - disabled graphics-exposures on the main drawing GC, report any
124 refresh bugs please.
125 - improve property handling for -pe tabbed: avoid unnecessary property
126 changes (for kde's benefit) at the expense of extra round-trips,
127 improve size hint setting.
128 - modified XIM according to a patch sent by Takano Akio that sets
129 the preedit rectangle for OverTheSpot, which helps some input methods
130 to correctly position their preedit window.
131 - un-optimise the line clearing on newly scrolled-in lines a bit: the
132 former reasoning was that any fg colour on default bg looks the same
133 in empty spaces, but thats not true when reversing (e.g. selection),
134 so also check for matching fg colours. This fixes the problem where
135 selecting newly scrolled-in lines would exhibit wrong colours.
136 - fix a bug in the perl interface causing focus in events to generate
137 focus out perl events, causing bad focus effects with -pe tabbed.
138 - fix a race resulting in a crash on exiting.
139 - fix a with --disable-xft that caused xfreecolors to be called on
140 colors never allocated, resulting in aborts (reported by Paco-Paco).
141 - resources on non-initial screens weren't refetched correctly
142 (reported by Paco-Paco).
143 - fix a bug in xcopyarea pass and _disable_ it, as it seems not to be
144 working in either rxvt-unicode nor in the original rxvt.
145 - removed undocumented -exec alias for the -e option.
146
1477.6 Fri Feb 10 08:52:36 CET 2006
148 - changed interpretation of [alpha] colour prefix.
149 - +option now really sets the option to default, instead of using the
150 resource value.
151 - options that require an argument now really _require_ an argument.
152 - the tabbed extension now forwards focus and keys events to th
153 relevant tab window.
154 - tab colours are now configurable and have sensible defaults
155 (initial patch by hednod).
156 - option menu is extendable, readline, selection and
157 selection-autotransform can now be disabled/enabled at runtime.
158 - forcing a configure event to tabbed subwindows with -pe tabbed, for
159 the benefit of automove-background.
160 - the automove-background extension added a wrong constant offset.
161 - force refresh of XA_RESOURCE_STRING on virtual reconnect.
162 - return exit status 2 in urxvtc when urxvtd couldn't be contacted.
163 - the linux yield hack is back, now using usleep, and enabled only on
164 __linux__.
165 - further round trip eliminations in the !XFT case by remembering
166 the colour components.
167 - plain scrollbar works better with -sr.
168 - fixed half-shadow scrollbar look.
169 - more colour rtt optimisations.
170 - properly(?) free colours on window close.
171 - reorganised the FAQ into multiple sections.
172 - add ISO646.1991-IRV to the list of supported codesets.
173 - minor libptytty update.
174
1757.5 Tue Jan 31 15:15:43 CET 2006
176 - further improvements to the careful mode detection, and font width
177 detection:
178 - fully double-wide fonts will now be correctly treated,
179 - overlap detection was improved.
180 - detect totally broken fonts (usually synthesized by xft).
181 - careful mode forced refresh sometimes clashed with blinking,
182 causing unnecessary screen redraws.
183 - better handling of XFT combining characters.
184 - enable antialiasing for some replacement fonts, as they
185 might get used for other encodings which really need it, later.
186 - remove spacing=100 from all default fonts, as this creates totally
187 weird spacing (5 times normal) with xft.
188 - removed iso10646 fallback, as xorgs iso10646 encoded fonts are mostly
189 broken.
190 - removed gnu unifont fallback, all combining characters are broken.
191 - replace named colours by xorg's rgb.txt equivalents, to
192 reduce round trip time on startup, and short-cut allocation
193 of rgb:rr/gg/bb for xft.
194 - short-cut allocation of rgb values in the xlib case
195 (patch by Paco-Paco).
196 - overhauled color management: smaller codesize, alpha support.
197 - support "rgba:rrrr/gggg/bbbb/aaaa" color specifications and
198 an "[alpha]" prefix.
199 - try to work around Xft and Xrender forcing everything to be 100%
200 transparent. Long Live Xft!
201 - do not include X11/Intrinsic.h anymore, directly use
202 Xlib/Xutil/Xresource directly.
203 - try to find a nearest matching color when color allocation fails
204 on a pseudocolor screen.
205 - SYNCCVS: compared to rxvt-cvs 2006-01-28, no relevant changes.
206 - fix version report (DA) (which was unfortunately broken).
207 - changed version number report again, now to emulate xterm closer.
208 - added the OSC sequence 702 to detect the urxvt version number.
209 - small configure updates.
210 - further RTT optimisations.
211 - backported clean-up patches for makefiles and documentation from
212 the debian package.
213 - updated doc/rxvt-unicode.spec file. It's still not maintained here,
214 but much newer than the old one.
215
2167.4 Sat Jan 28 15:26:27 CET 2006
217 - screen background wasn't always erased properly when scrolling,
218 - re-enabled clearing optimisation disabled in 7.4pre.
219 - small configure updates for libptytty.
220 - fixed version options: line output.
221 - removed stoopid debugging message left in the code.
222
2237.3 Wed Jan 25 22:47:35 CET 2006
224 - don't let iso14755 or mouse reporting get into the way of perl
225 (could lead to global grabs never being cleared).
226 - experimental OnTheSpot editing support (-pe xim-onthespot).
227 - moved Shift-Button2 paste combination to Meta-Button2.
228 - the cutchars resource will now be respected and used by the
229 selection extension.
230 - added the "remote-clipboard" extension which just runs external
231 commands to fetch and store the selection data.
232 - added -depth switch that tries to get a different visual depth
233 than the default (replaces the old PREFER_24_BIT logic).
234 - removed (unused) arabic presentation form composing sequences.
235 - be more strict when deciding that a core font glyph is too wide and
236 needs the careful rendering mode.
237 - allow more leeway for italic fonts when deciding that a character is
238 too wide and needs careful mode.
239 - redraw even more characters around characters using careful mode.
240 - made selection-pastebin fully asynchronous.
241 - reduced number of server turnarounds at startup by allocating
242 atoms only once per display.
243 - renamed on_keyboard_command to on_user_command.
244 - changed version sos (ESC [ > c) response to be more compatible with
245 xterm.
246
2477.2 Sun Jan 22 21:58:16 CET 2006
248 - bugfix: urxvt (not urxvtd) did not correctly handle multiple
249 environments necessary, which resulted in segfaults within
250 getenv (reproducable: urxvt -fn 9x15, open a menu once,
251 ctrl-shift-672c).
252 - bugfix: the selection speedup in in 7.1 unfortunately caused
253 non-ascii characters to enlarge/move the selection.
254 - bugfix: resizing sometimes leaked lines from the secondary to
255 the primary screen.
256 - bugfix: reducing window size while large amounts of text were output
257 could lead to an assertion failure.
258 - added "tabbed" extension that provides a crude tabbed terminal.
259 - added "readline" extension that allows cursor positioning
260 via mouse clicks.
261 - now it is possible to insert the value of the CLIPBOARD selection
262 with shift - mouse button 2.
263 - fixed the automove-background extension to ignore coordinates
264 in non-synthetic events.
265 - created a separate libpty for portable and secure
266 pty/tty/utmp/wtmp/lastlog handling, and include it in rxvt-unicode.
267 - the non-terminfo visual bell now works asynchronously, so
268 continuous ASCI BELs in one terminal do no longer monopolise the
269 whole urxvt[d] process.
270 - support some *BSD makes (for the time being, gnu make is a safe bet).
271 - work around bugs in FreeBSD's gcc.
272 - implemented some *BSD fixes in configure.
273 - removed support for obsolete offix dnd protocol.
274
2757.1 Thu Jan 19 20:25:34 CET 2006
276 - setuid/setgid operation is now _encouraged_: security has been
277 improved by moving privileged operations into a separate process
278 and permanently dropping privileges within the terminal. This
279 makes it possible to remove security checks from the perl code
280 and gives a much safer feeling when urxvt needs to run with
281 special privileges.
282 - perl taint checking disabled, as urxvt no longer runs setuid/setgid
283 itself.
284 - new perl extension automove-background that can be used to get
285 the same effect as pseudo-transparency with any pixmap.
286 - new perl extension example: perl/selection-pastebin, can be used to
287 e.g. upload the selection to a webserver and generate a url, or
288 similar stuff.
289 - use the scrollback buffer even when the scroll region doesn't
290 span the whole screen, as long as it starts at row 0. Helps
291 for programs displaying a status line at the bottom.
292 - selection popup now shows selection in dec/hex/oct.
293 - perl/selection: matching on unicode characters in the selection
294 code was O(n²), which equals infinity in some degenerate cases
295 :-> Matching is now done on UTF-8, which makes it almost instant.
296 - perl/selection, perl/selection-autotransform: regexes are now
297 being interpreted in the locale urxvt was started.
298 - implemented override-redirect option and enabled it on menus,
299 as kwin puts our windows behind the terminal (what a shoddy wm).
300 - fixed struct utmp check in configure for OpenBSD.
301 - complete overhaul of the pty/utmp management stuff and configure
302 (Emanuele Giaquinta).
303 - add tsl/fsl and related capabilities to the terminfo description,
304 to set the window title.
305 - swap the environment in some more cases. This hopefully fixes
306 some segfaults that might be caused by xft asking for env variables
307 at the wrong time.
308 - removed src/strings.C and src/menubar.C. No menubar support
309 anymore.
310 - removed all traces of SMOOTH_REFRESH.
311 - nuked QNX support.
312 - made some fixes to xpm offset and scaling code.
313 - perl-overlays and refresh hooks were not applied in correct order.
314 - changed coordinate-system of view_start/nsaved to be top to bottom.
315 - iom extended to support listening for child exits.
316
3177.0 Fri Jan 13 14:02:18 CET 2006
12 - added sections for DISTRIBUTION MAINTAINERS and about 318 - added sections for DISTRIBUTION MAINTAINERS and about
13 SETUID/SETGID operation tot he FAQ. 319 SETUID/SETGID to the FAQ.
14 - selection, selection-popup and option-popup extensions 320 - selection, searchable-scrollback, selection-popup and
15 enabled by default. 321 option-popup extensions enabled by default.
322 - increased xft drawing speed for problematic fonts. The effect
323 will likely be small as 99% of the xft slowness is server-related.
16 - perl: much increased functionality, better overlays, popup support 324 - perl: much increased functionality, better overlays, popup support
17 and much much more. 325 and much much more.
18 - perl: urxvt::line now can set via ->t and ->r. 326 - perl: urxvt::line now can set via ->t and ->r.

25 side effect, it also gets rid of XGetDefault calls. 333 side effect, it also gets rid of XGetDefault calls.
26 - free one of the cursors, fixes a small memory leak. 334 - free one of the cursors, fixes a small memory leak.
335 - built-in (as opposed to terminfos) visual bell was broken/too fast.
336 - applied minor cleanups by Ladislav Michnovic.
337 - applied pty handling cleanups and improvements (Emanuele Giaquinta).
338 - mark-urls launch-on-click by jepler.
339 - removed "small" resource parsing function, as it wasn't really
340 compatible, and not really small either.
341 - removed PATH_ENV and PATH file search support.
342 - removed support for locale-specific app-defaults file.
343 - fixed a bug where out-of-bounds colour sequences could lead
344 to crashes.
345 - limit colour changing to the standard 88 palette instead of all
346 colours.
347 - XTerm_Color01 sequence returned wrong results in query mode.
348 - iom.C now checks against destructed io_manager when unregistering.
