23TODO: http://www.cl.cam.ac.uk/~mgk25/ucs/scw-proposal.html 22 - NOTICE: this release updates terminfo/termcap.
23 - the aterm code now frees the as visual and image manager objects
24 when a window was closed.
25 - do not (wrongly) adjust the virtual line length inside
26 scr_insdel_chars/ERASE (Miroslav Lichvar).
27 - fix an issue where wide tab characters caused character shifts
28 when part of them was deleted (tracked down by Miroslav Lichvar).
29 - artificially enlargen the previous character at the end of a line
30 when trying to output a character that doesn't fit. looks ugly, but
31 makes copy&paste work.
32 - remove bogus "setuid/setgid security issues" from rxvt.1.pod, they
33 no longer apply.
34 - the urgency hint is now cleared on both focus in and focus out.
35 - cache urgency hint locally to avoid server rtt on every focus change.
36 - perl 5.10 needs PERL_SYS_INIT3 on hppa.
37 - ignore byte-order marks and do not treat them like combining characters.
38 - fix build issue when CURSOR_BLINK is not defined (Emanuele Giaquinta).
39 - do some µ-optimisations to the character fast path.
40 - use a less cunning, but more robust algorithm to avoid one terminal
41 monopolising the whole process by outputting a lot of text.
42 - try to work around linux first breaking sched_yield and now breaking
43 the only known workaround.
44 - new option -icon to set _NET_WM_ICON (based on patch by Frank Schmitt).
45 - initialise the as visual only on demand, instead of unconditionally,
46 to save memory in the common case of not using visual gimmicks.
47 - try to work around bugs in a few wm's that errornously resize
48 client windows on hint property updates by temporarily
49 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 - add an osc sequence to change the border colour (Emanuele Giaquinta).
60 - new perl extension "overlay-osc", for status displays and the like.
61 - fix some minor cursor drawing issues with overlays by allowing
62 overlays to modify screen flags (to disable the cursor themselves).
63 - work around programs not restoring rstyle before rmcup
64 (analysed by Miroslav Lichvar).

25TODO: wcwidth optimisaiton for <= 0xff is bogus, go to 0x7f or measure (Dai.H.) 669.05 Sun Jun 15 20:09:20 CEST 2008
26TODO: strwidth bug 67 - new option --cd/chdir to set the starting working directory.
27TODO: 68 - tabbed extension now starts in the "correct" working directory.
28TODO: 0:52 <mmc> I think, that urxvt has the same bug as rxvt: FocusIn detail=NotifyPointer 69 - work around fedora 9 providing isastream but not the relevant
29TODO: (and I care only on case mode=NotifyGrab) is interpreted as FocusIn, so 70 header file for it (report by Tuncer Ayaz).
30TODO: the cursor is filled (while the input focus is actually elsewhere). 71 - upgrade libev, fixing a bug in the select backend
31TODO: 0:57 <schmorp> how to reproduce? 72 with more than 31 file descriptors on non-linux 64 bit systems.
32TODO: 0:59 * MinceR snickers 73 - correctly reset the multibyte state to the initial one
33TODO: 1:00 <mmc> reproduce: place pointer above the rxvt window. Then grab the keyboard 74 after EILSEQ (patch by Neil Booth). This fixes the
34TODO: somehow (I do it by invoking prompt of my window manager). 75 issue of rxvt-unicode not properly displaying text after an illegal
35TODO: 76 sequence on NetBSD and probably other systems.
36TODO: 9:55 <Wolf_on_Air> not much to document, it needs 77 - more intelligent property handling with -pe tabbed, works around
37TODO: 9:55 <Wolf_on_Air> URxvt.keysym.M-c: perl:clipboard:copy 78 broken window managers (kwm et al.), saves bandwidth and should
38TODO: 9:55 <Wolf_on_Air> URxvt.keysym.M-v: perl:clipboard:paste 79 help working window managers as well.
39TODO: http://triplefusion.net/system/macosx-clipboard 80 - made tabs moveable (based on a patch by Petr Machata).
408. 81 - implement ESC [ 3 K as a more rational alternative to ESC [ 0 K.
82 - support relative paths for RXVT_SOCKET in urxvtd.
83 - the tabbed extension now blindly copies over all (rxvt-) resources
84 from the toplevel window to the children.
85 - better diagnostic on 0x0 window geometries.
86 - update AnyEvent API to version 3.4 and above.
87 - document the default value of :0 for DISPLAY.
88 - rename perl method XChangeWindowProperty to XChangeProperty.
89
909.02 Tue Jan 29 11:58:36 CET 2008
91 - the "exg makes everybody happy" release.
92 - fix build with !xft.
93 - always compile in plain style scrollbar (simplifies code and looks great).
94
959.01 Sat Jan 26 20:49:27 CET 2008
96 - be more aggressive about handling X events, this seems to be required
97 with newer xlibs (should fix the "screen stays black until event is
98 received" problem, again :)
99 - add buffered resource to control xft double-buffering.
100
1019.0 Fri Jan 25 19:34:04 CET 2008
102 - fix a crash bug where urxvtd would crash when urxvtc was called
103 with wrong arguments (I wish debian maintainers in general would
104 report bugs and their proposed fixes to the original package maintaienrs
105 instead of sitting on them for good measure to see if anybody notices).
106 - drawing xft compose characters was causing garbage to be drawn.
107 - correctly clear xft character background in all cases.
108 - implement bracketed paste mode (xterm private mode 2004).
109 - improve documentation on alpha channel handling, make urxvt
110 work better on servers lacking the RENDER extension when alpha
111 channels or background images are used.
112 - check for refresh after initialising to avoid staying blank
113 till the first event arrives. or so.
114 - the FORCE_UNBUFFERED_XFT feature macro works again.
115 - continuously update transparency while moving/resizing now.
116 - OSC 39/49 are deprecated and aliased to OSC 10/11.
117 - cub1 now acts as advertised (and ignores the "wrapped" state).
118 - the 132/80 mode switch now forces a height of 24, too, and
119 resets the terminal.
120 - scrollbar code cleanups.
121 - stopping children is no longer confused with children exiting.
122 - removed (undocumented) #aarrggbb format.
123 - updated to libev 3.0.
124
1258.9 Mon Dec 24 07:51:40 CET 2007
126 - fix the issue where urxvtd would not immediately close a window
127 when the command exited but only on the next X event.
128 - changed terminfo file not to use application keypad mode.
129 - fix the issue where making a selection in one urxvtd window
130 would not clear it visually in another.
131 - fix an issue of urxvt not getting background pixmap updates
132 and flickering after bg pixmap changes (reported by Mikachu).
133 - fix redraw bug in xterm scrollbar with -sr (reported by Mikachu).
134 - correctly provide dependencies for libev (µikachu).
135 - minor code reorganisations and cleanups.
136 - be more robust in case the urxvt-popup extension cannot be loaded.
137
1388.8 Sat Dec 15 19:40:39 CET 2007
139 - option -C was aliased to all unsupported options, activating
140 options that shouldn't be compiled in, leading to interesting
141 effects.
142 - updated libev, working around a bug in linux 2.4, curing the
143 symptom of urxvt not closing its window on shell exit. also
144 fixes a problem with urxvt not refreshing.
145 - the text blink callback was called even when no blinking
146 text was visible.
147 - pre-8.4 slipwheeling behaviour has been reinstated, with
148 some minor improvements.
149 - streamlined x events processing to only flush once per
150 display and not once per terminal window.
151 - quite a bit of minor code cleanups and codesize optimisations.
152
1538.7 Sun Nov 25 10:23:49 CET 2007
154 - update libev with an important bugfix that would cause crashes
155 when closing windows (when using rxvtd, and update is recommended).
156 - do not compile in the block builtin graphics with --disable-frills.
157
1588.6 Fri Nov 23 14:10:57 CET 2007
159 - upgrade libev to disable kqueue on anything but netbsd as it
160 seems to be broken everywhere else w.r.t. ptys.
161 - allow for spurious event notifications, as at least epoll and
162 especially solaris ports like to lie about them (symptoms:
163 urxvt "hangs" until there is some x11 related activity).
164 - -keysym command line options are now subjected to xlib parsing.
165 - add 'xrm' option analogous to Xt one.
166
1678.5a Wed Nov 21 10:16:33 CET 2007
168 - make it compile with --disable-transparency.
169
1708.5 Wed Nov 21 05:19:20 CET 2007

172 - converted from the veritable io manager event loop to
173 the high performance libev (http://software.schmorp.de/pkg/libev).
174 - minor tuning to the perl selection (include single words and more quoting chars).
175 - fix memory leak in pixmap code.
176 - fix a serious bug while setting the XIM destroy callback
177 on (typical) 64 bit systems.
178 - automove-background functionality re-implemented internaly using :root op in pixmap
179 geometry string. For example: rxvt -pixmap "image.jpg;:root"
180 - do not link rxvtc against every lib on the planet anymore.
181 - parallel builds should work once more.
182
1838.4 Sat Oct 27 14:02:13 CEST 2007
184 - overhaul of the transparency/pixmap code (sasha).
185 - fix possible race betwen visual bell and poweron.

208 - nuke reconf script, serves no purpose anymore.
209 - fixed and documented matcher/on_user_command processing in matcher
210 extension (tpope).
211 - compile out of the box on Solaris 10 (exg).
212 - fix MappingNotify events (reported by Stephan Walter).
213 - zero-initialise mwmhints, this seems to solve all sorts of minor
214 problems.
215
2168.2 Sat Feb 17 21:35:28 CET 2007
217 - fix make depend in src/, reported by exg.

220 - unbundled iom perl interface somewhat.
221 - scrollbar-xterm now uses the selected scrollColor instead of fg
222 (found by Aiviru).
223 - disabled linux kernel bug workaround again: disabling it gives
224 a 50% speed hit on affected machines, while enabling it gives
225 a similar speed hit to screen, which is likely the more common
226 case to work around for :/
227 - urxvt::rend2mask perl function, and utilization of it by matcher
228 (patch by Moshe Kamensky).
229 - use perl:matcher on a keysym to open most recently displayed URL.
230 - with matcher, when multiple patterns match, last wins, not first.
231 - fix make and make install with srcdir != builddir (exg).
232 - updated bundled libptytty to fix a bug where the tty would be kept
233 open (see the libptytty ChangeLog for details).
234 - delay setting the IUTF8 flag to after the tty settings have been
235 set so its value does not get lost (reported and analysed by Andrei
236 Paskevich).
237 - rip out support for obsolete sgtty.h interface.
238 - rip out support for non-POSIX termios variants.
239 - update libptytty.
240 - update iom.C, make it call ptytty::sanitise_stdfd on init.
241 - when !XFT, change rounding of colours to use a less correct formula to
242 meet user expectancies (#aaa becomes #a000a000a000 not #9f9f9f9f9f9f).
243 - change the starting offset of the pixmap set with backgroundPixmap
244 from (50,50) to (0,0) (exg).
245 - fix a typo in button_release, now meta-button2 request the value of

253 only assume this for codepoints 32 to 126 (reported by Dai.H.).
254 - $term->strwidth returned wide chars as width 1, because some jerk
255 confused min and max. Fixing this also fixes xim-onthespot.
256 Reported by Takano Akio.
