408.
41 - secondaryScroll is now enable by default (as per the manpage),
42 reported by exg.
43 - correct the description of [percent]color rgba format in the manpage.
44
458.0 Thu Nov 2 18:35:19 CET 2006
46 - combining characters cleared the area instead of creating an overlay,
47 thus losing the ability to draw combining characters properly in most
48 circumstances (reported by exg).
49 - specified fonts were incorrectly morphed to bold/italic according to the
50 basefont, even if explicitly specified (tracked down by tpope).
51 - fixed urxvt::strwidth to calculate width in the same way as screen.C.
52 - fix a crash caused by passing negative widths to overlay functions.
53 - added 'matcher' extension by tpope, replacing the mark-urls extension.
54 - improve url regex to match anything www.* (tpope).
55 - fixed bug with outline cursor color being wrong after xft fonts.
56 - update to libptytty-1.0.
57 - give proper diagnostic when RXVT_SOCKET is too long instead of
58 corrupting the stack (patch by exg).
59 - display current terminal locale in option menu.
60 - urxvtd no longer crashes when the client sends an inaccessible
61 working directory (reported by Roland Baer, possibly fixes gentoo
62 bug #143985).
63 - fixed many minor issues reported by Roland Baer.
64 - Leonid Khramov spotted a minor glitch in rxvtfont.C that
65 should not have any consequences, but was buggy nonetheless.
66 - manpage fix by exg.
67
687.9 Mon Aug 7 18:16:07 CEST 2006
69 - fix the crashing bug people encountered with 7.8 + urxvtd + perl
70 + transparency. Ought to fix debian bug #380348.
71 - fix urxvtc.1.pod: it actually claimed -pty-fd would not work. But
72 it does! :->
73 - rxvt_fatal() in case the locale string is too long for our static buffer.
74 - fixed many, many, typos in the manpages (patch supplied by ves).
75
767.8 Mon Jul 17 21:00:46 CEST 2006
77 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: this version will always read ~/.Xdefaults,
78 earlier versions only read it if display-resources (usually from
79 .Xresources) are not set. This avoids the #1 FAQ ("why isn't my
80 resource used") and seems to be logical behaviour, too. .Xdefaults
81 resources have a lower priority than display-specific resources.
82 - add "kuake" perl extension that does a similar thing to the kuake
83 terminal emulator (see man urxtvperl).
84 - use less "correct" color scaling that is compatible with libX11 and
85 Xft (avoids off-by-one colors resulting in striped backgrounds).
86 - the "depth" resource is now respected.
87 - preset the searchable-scrollback pattern with "(?i)" to default search
88 to case-insensitivity. Will automatically be cleared when typing an
89 uppercase character.
90 - add FORCE_UNBUFFERED_XFT define to features.h.
91 - re-enabled highlightcolor support with --enable-frills, based on
92 a patch by Martin Stubenschrott.
93 - double-buffered xft drawing did suffer from pixel offset issues
94 when pixmap transparency was enabled.
95 - strategically add # to the url-match regexes, as we really want to
96 match common URIs not common URLs. Reported by Aaron Griffin.
97 - moved on_osc_seq to on_osc_seq_perl and added a more
98 generic osc_seq.
99 - fix a bug causing double callback invocations when perl hooks
100 were invoked recursively.
101 - the automove-background extension now properly works when the
102 pixmap gets reset with an osc sequence (sqweek).
103 - selection-pastebin did not work properly with non-latin1-characters.
104 - apply colorUL only when the text colour is the default fg
105 (patch by Wu Fengguang).
106 - removed rxvtlib.h from the tarball, it had no reason to be there
107 (spotted by Decklin Foster).
108 - fix compiling with TRANSPARENT but !XPM_BACKGROUND, as reported
109 by omatunto_.
110 - slap in a using namespace std, might help on platforms that don't
111 follow C++ closely enough.
112 - fix mailto url regex, spotted within milliseconds by Jost Krieger.
113 - applied fade_color_update_func.patch by WU Fengguang.
114 - fix a bug where (due to an optimisation in av_delete), hiding the
115 bottom-most overlay would hide two overlays.
116
1177.7 Tue Feb 21 12:32:49 CET 2006
118 - use double-buffered drawing (xft fonts only). On many driver/hardware
119 combination this actually increases xft drawing speed, at the expense
120 of more network bandwidth and slight nausea on the side of the author.
121 - readline perl extension now requires shift-click instead of a normal
122 click, and eats the click.
123 - tabbed perl extension now supports -e.
124 - disabled graphics-exposures on the main drawing GC, report any
125 refresh bugs please.
126 - improve property handling for -pe tabbed: avoid unnecessary property
127 changes (for kde's benefit) at the expense of extra round-trips,
128 improve size hint setting.
129 - modified XIM according to a patch sent by Takano Akio that sets
130 the preedit rectangle for OverTheSpot, which helps some input methods
131 to correctly position their preedit window.
132 - un-optimise the line clearing on newly scrolled-in lines a bit: the
133 former reasoning was that any fg colour on default bg looks the same
134 in empty spaces, but thats not true when reversing (e.g. selection),
135 so also check for matching fg colours. This fixes the problem where
136 selecting newly scrolled-in lines would exhibit wrong colours.
137 - fix a bug in the perl interface causing focus in events to generate
138 focus out perl events, causing bad focus effects with -pe tabbed.
139 - fix a race resulting in a crash on exiting.
140 - fix a with --disable-xft that caused xfreecolors to be called on
141 colors never allocated, resulting in aborts (reported by Paco-Paco).
142 - resources on non-initial screens weren't refetched correctly
143 (reported by Paco-Paco).
144 - fix a bug in xcopyarea pass and _disable_ it, as it seems not to be
145 working in either rxvt-unicode nor in the original rxvt.
146 - removed undocumented -exec alias for the -e option.
147
1487.6 Fri Feb 10 08:52:36 CET 2006
149 - changed interpretation of [alpha] colour prefix.
150 - +option now really sets the option to default, instead of using the
151 resource value.
152 - options that require an argument now really _require_ an argument.
153 - the tabbed extension now forwards focus and keys events to th
154 relevant tab window.
155 - tab colours are now configurable and have sensible defaults
156 (initial patch by hednod).
157 - option menu is extendable, readline, selection and
158 selection-autotransform can now be disabled/enabled at runtime.
159 - forcing a configure event to tabbed subwindows with -pe tabbed, for
160 the benefit of automove-background.
161 - the automove-background extension added a wrong constant offset.
162 - force refresh of XA_RESOURCE_STRING on virtual reconnect.
163 - return exit status 2 in urxvtc when urxvtd couldn't be contacted.
164 - the linux yield hack is back, now using usleep, and enabled only on
165 __linux__.
166 - further round trip eliminations in the !XFT case by remembering
167 the colour components.
168 - plain scrollbar works better with -sr.
169 - fixed half-shadow scrollbar look.
170 - more colour rtt optimisations.
171 - properly(?) free colours on window close.
172 - reorganised the FAQ into multiple sections.
173 - add ISO646.1991-IRV to the list of supported codesets.
174 - minor libptytty update.
175
1767.5 Tue Jan 31 15:15:43 CET 2006
177 - further improvements to the careful mode detection, and font width
178 detection:
179 - fully double-wide fonts will now be correctly treated,
180 - overlap detection was improved.
181 - detect totally broken fonts (usually synthesized by xft).
182 - careful mode forced refresh sometimes clashed with blinking,
183 causing unnecessary screen redraws.
184 - better handling of XFT combining characters.
185 - enable antialiasing for some replacement fonts, as they
186 might get used for other encodings which really need it, later.
187 - remove spacing=100 from all default fonts, as this creates totally
188 weird spacing (5 times normal) with xft.
189 - removed iso10646 fallback, as xorgs iso10646 encoded fonts are mostly
190 broken.
191 - removed gnu unifont fallback, all combining characters are broken.
192 - replace named colours by xorg's rgb.txt equivalents, to
193 reduce round trip time on startup, and short-cut allocation
194 of rgb:rr/gg/bb for xft.
195 - short-cut allocation of rgb values in the xlib case
196 (patch by Paco-Paco).
197 - overhauled color management: smaller codesize, alpha support.
198 - support "rgba:rrrr/gggg/bbbb/aaaa" color specifications and
199 an "[alpha]" prefix.
200 - try to work around Xft and Xrender forcing everything to be 100%
201 transparent. Long Live Xft!
202 - do not include X11/Intrinsic.h anymore, directly use
203 Xlib/Xutil/Xresource directly.
204 - try to find a nearest matching color when color allocation fails
205 on a pseudocolor screen.
206 - SYNCCVS: compared to rxvt-cvs 2006-01-28, no relevant changes.
207 - fix version report (DA) (which was unfortunately broken).
208 - changed version number report again, now to emulate xterm closer.
209 - added the OSC sequence 702 to detect the urxvt version number.
210 - small configure updates.
211 - further RTT optimisations.
212 - backported clean-up patches for makefiles and documentation from
213 the debian package.
214 - updated doc/rxvt-unicode.spec file. It's still not maintained here,
215 but much newer than the old one.
216
2177.4 Sat Jan 28 15:26:27 CET 2006
218 - screen background wasn't always erased properly when scrolling,
219 - re-enabled clearing optimisation disabled in 7.4pre.
220 - small configure updates for libptytty.
221 - fixed version options: line output.
222 - removed stoopid debugging message left in the code.
223
2247.3 Wed Jan 25 22:47:35 CET 2006
225 - don't let iso14755 or mouse reporting get into the way of perl
226 (could lead to global grabs never being cleared).
227 - experimental OnTheSpot editing support (-pe xim-onthespot).
228 - moved Shift-Button2 paste combination to Meta-Button2.
229 - the cutchars resource will now be respected and used by the
230 selection extension.
231 - added the "remote-clipboard" extension which just runs external
232 commands to fetch and store the selection data.
233 - added -depth switch that tries to get a different visual depth
234 than the default (replaces the old PREFER_24_BIT logic).
235 - removed (unused) arabic presentation form composing sequences.
236 - be more strict when deciding that a core font glyph is too wide and
237 needs the careful rendering mode.
238 - allow more leeway for italic fonts when deciding that a character is
239 too wide and needs careful mode.
240 - redraw even more characters around characters using careful mode.
241 - made selection-pastebin fully asynchronous.
242 - reduced number of server turnarounds at startup by allocating
243 atoms only once per display.
244 - renamed on_keyboard_command to on_user_command.
245 - changed version sos (ESC [ > c) response to be more compatible with
246 xterm.
247
2487.2 Sun Jan 22 21:58:16 CET 2006
249 - bugfix: urxvt (not urxvtd) did not correctly handle multiple
250 environments necessary, which resulted in segfaults within
251 getenv (reproducable: urxvt -fn 9x15, open a menu once,
252 ctrl-shift-672c).
22 - bugfix: the selection speedup in in 7.1 unfortunately caused 253 - bugfix: the selection speedup in in 7.1 unfortunately caused

255 - bugfix: resizing sometimes leaked lines from the secondary to
256 the primary screen.
