2403:05 <Aiviru> Hrm. I've found that my problem isn't so much urxvt, though it /does/ seem to ignore colorRV 25 was broken (reported by Eamon Walker).
26 - fix parsing of bg image styles. They really work now.
27 - fix blurring of bg image borders when using xrender.
28 - fix xrender blur on common xrender implementations that do
29 not behave correctly when the same pixmap is used as source
30 and destination in composite operations.
31 - fix regression that caused tabbed to compute the wrong size
32 for tabs.
33 - allow again an empty suffix in a keysym list spec (patch by

35 - unsupported support for sun studio's CC added.
36 - fix -C option on solaris.

389.14 Wed Dec 21 18:40:33 CET 2011
39 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: the urxvtd default socket path is now
40 $HOME/.urxvt/urxvtd-<nodename>.
41 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: the "list" keysym expansion now requires
42 loading of the "keysym-list" perl extension.
43 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: A scale value of 0 in the bg image
44 geometry no longer enables tiling, so as to make it possible
45 to disable both scaling and tiling.
46 - overhaul of the bg image operations. The old operations have
47 been deprecated in favour of elementary operations and
48 styles built on top of the new operations and scale/position
49 settings. (Emanuele Giaquinta).
50 - support for libafterimage is deprecated and will be removed
51 in the next release.
52 - fix a crash caused by selection_check not properly resetting
53 out-of-bounds mark values (can happen when extending a selection
54 while scrolling up in curses programs for example).
55 - do not move the selection when scrolling up and the selection is
56 outside the scrolling region (Emanuele Giaquinta).
57 - fix display of bold bright black (reported by Ben Winslow).
58 - fix memory leak when urgentOnBell is set (patch by Nathaniel
59 Filardo).
60 - fix a redraw bug that occurs when a bg pixmap is set and the
61 wm does not honour the size hints set by urxvt. Now urxvt
62 forces the size of the terminal window to be a multiple of
63 the cell size.
64 - sanitise the argument of SD / SU sequences. Fixes a possible
65 crash when the argument is big enough, red hat bug #711137
66 (Emanuele Giaquinta).
67 - correctly split long lines when scrolling.
68 - urxvt now looks for perl extensions also in $HOME/.urxvt/ext.
69 - add bell-command perl extension to execute a command when a
70 bell event occurs (Ryan Kavanagh).
71 - add set_urgency perl binding to set/reset the urgency hint.
72 - consume button release event in matcher (exg).
73 - keyboard accessible list of recent matches in matcher
74 (Bob Farrell).
75 - properly process 'keysym' sequences in tabbed when using
76 'focus follows mouse' and the focus is on the main window
77 but not on the active terminal window (patch by Martin
78 Pohlack).
79 - support for the freedesktop startup-notification protocol (patch by
80 Michael Stapelberg).
81 - the direction of VPR and VPB commands was reversed.
82 - fix alignment of inherited root pixmap when it is a different size
83 than the root window and the terminal window is off the left or top
84 edge (Mikachu).
85 - make $self visible in "eval perl expression" popup action, also
86 handle exceptions better.
87 - fix parsing of '-e' when it occurs as an option argument, such as in
88 'urxvt -title -e' (Emanuele Giaquinta).
89
909.12 Wed Jun 29 14:34:28 CEST 2011
91 - fix regression in processing of SelectionNotify events.
92 urxvt would fail to request a selection if the owner did not
93 support the UTF8_STRING target.
94 - fix rendering of double width chars in certain circumstances, more
95 likely to happen if urxvt is compiled with 256 colors support as
96 urxvt runs out of fonts much earlier then. Fixes gentoo bug #358151
97 (Emanuele Giaquinta).
98 - restore support for 'list' syntax in keysym resources (requested by Sung Pae).
99 - always premultiply colour values - while this increases differences between
100 core fonts and xft, it is "more correct" in practical situations.
101 - disable PTYTTY_REENTRANT option - not needed for urxvt and saves a bit of code.
102 - remove lucidatypewriter from the list of fallback fonts, it was the only
103 non-xft non-cellfont in the list anyway.
104
1059.11 Mon May 2 10:34:46 CEST 2011
106 - fix compilation on GNU/Hurd, debian bug #624736.
107 - remove 'list' syntax for keysym resources, as it serves no useful purpose.
108 If you need it, poke us and provide a use case.
109 - fix alpha channel support. Premultiply alpha in colours if the visual
110 supports an alpha channel, as xrender expects premultiplied alpha
111 (Emanuele Giaquinta).
112 - fix reply to a selection request sent by an obsolete client
113 such as syncterm (patch by Marcin Cieslak).
114 - fix crash when the window is resized and the overlay is active
115 (Emanuele Giaquinta, reported by Ryan Kavanagh).
116 - match character-wise rather than byte-wise in selection
117 extension again. perl 5.8.9+ is required to avoid extreme
118 slowdowns. Fixes debian bugs #523072, #616463.
119 - fix a possible crash if the INCR transfer process for a
120 selection property timeouts and at least one chunk is
121 received. (Emanuele Giaquinta)
122 - work around a memory corruption bug in xorg's XrmSetDatabase (apparently
123 broken since http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/xorg-commit-diffs/2004-March/000239.html).
124 - fix memory corruption bug when custom command sequences bound to keys
125 were injected into an already-full pty input buffer.
126 - gdk-pixbuf is autodetected by default and preferred over libafterimage.
127 - do not prepend a newline to the selection text when the starting line
128 of the selection is not highlighted (Emanuele Giaquinta).
129 - don't swap perl env with real env, save and restore it, just in case
130 we ever get recursive perl invocations. also saves a bit of codespace
131 with gcc.
132 - fix various memory leaks (Emanuele Giaquinta).
133 - fix typo in kIC terminfo capability, debian bug #446444.
134 - document 'thickness' resource.
135 - fix debian bug #504817, to the extent possible.
136 - try to detect byte order at compile time, saves a couple of
137 hundred bytes, if your compiler is smart enough.
138 - add support for previewing the pasted data in confirm-paste
139 (Emanuele Giaquinta).
140 - added "newlines to spaces" option in selection-popup.
141 - actually enabled solaris event ports backend (was disabled by accident).
142 - revert to 38400 baud max., mission accomplished.
143 - no longer create scary "pty_fill: PLEASE REPORT" message, instead,
144 silently drain the input (problem is well understood now).
145 - no longer swallow rob nation's own graphics mode commands.
146
1479.10 Mon Dec 13 17:43:52 CET 2010
148 - the "schmorp=north korea dickey=south korea" release.
149 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: make OSC 20 simpler and more correct
150 (Emanuele Giaquinta).
151 - if options were compiled out, this could lead to the option
152 count to be defined wrongly. This is likely behind the
153 failures with gcc 4.5.
154 - explicitly depend on fontconfig and xrender when xft support
155 is enabled. Although the public Xft api uses types from
156 both, in Xft 2.2.0 these libs are private
157 dependencies only thanks to an idiotic behaviour of
158 pkg-config that was added to workaround cases like this one.
159 Fixes linking when using GNU ld with --as-needed or GNU gold
160 (based on patch by Jan Palus).
161 - fix minor memory leaks in urxvt and urxvtd.
162 - fix regression in urxvtd that prevented options from being correctly
163 set (reported by Michal Vaner).
164 - implement xterm's horribly broken 1005 mouse reporting mode,
165 and an alternative 1015 mode that works in non-utf-8 locales
166 and has fewer limitations.
167 - fix a possible bug where mouse notifications didn't work after
168 startup for the upper left corner.
169 - implement our own pixbuf to pixmap rendering to get rid of
170 dependency on buggy gdk-pixbuf-xlib. Only truecolor visuals
171 are supported (Emanuele Giaquinta).
172 - apply tinting before shading when both operations are requested.
173 Previously they were intermixed when lightening and the result
174 was inaccurate and confusing. Note that now a black tint yields a
175 completely black image, regardless of shading (Emanuele Giaquinta).
176 - avoid spurious redraws of the bg image when bg is transparent or
177 when using 'root' mode (Emanuele Giaquinta).
178 - fix build on XFree86.
179 - dynamically number options according to compiletime requirements.
180 For the extra saved byte. Or so. Yay.
181 - start options at one, not zero. Wastes a bit per terminal. Maybe.
182 saves 50 instruction bytes. Possibly.
183
1849.09 Sat Nov 13 01:39:07 CET 2010
185 - NOTICE: this release updates terminfo/termcap.
186 - the bestest release ever.
187 - it was verified that urxvt handles µ and μ correctly.

189 - add support for using gdk-pixbuf as image backend (Emanuele Giaquinta).
190 - cleanup and minor fixes of the image code (Emanuele Giaquinta).
191 - new perl extension "confirm-paste" (Emanuele Giaquinta).
192 - new on_tt_paste perl hook and tt_paste perl binding (Emanuele Giaquinta).
193 - new on_bell perl hook (Emanuele Giaquinta).
194 - searchable-scrollback no longer ignores the first line
195 (Emanuele Giaquinta).
196 - properly set VSTATUS in termios for *BSD (reported by Ed Schouten).
197 - fix utmpx detection on upcoming FreeBSD 9.
198 - Use COMPOUND_TEXT encoding for WM_NAME/WM_ICON_NAME value when it
199 is not fully convertible to STRING (patch by James Cloos).
200 - fix a buffer overflow that would cause wrong key sequences to
201 be generated for numpad keys (introduced in 9.05).
202 - fix definition of sgr0 to work around limitations in luit.
203 - extend ISO 14755 5.4 mode to also print the font name of the
204 characters other than first one in the selected cell
205 (Emanuele Giaquinta).
206 - new iso14755 option to disable ISO 14755 at runtime
207 (Emanuele Giaquinta).
208 - make sure pagewise scrolling scrolls at least one line
209 (found by Mikachu).
210 - remove deprecated OSC 18 / 19 and make OSC 17 / 19 apply to
211 highlightColor / highlightTextColor (Emanuele Giaquinta).
212 - add highlightTextColor resource to change the foreground colour of
213 highlighted characters (Emanuele Giaquinta).
214 - make highlightColor apply also to selected cells with reverse video
215 but not to non selected cells with reverse video (Emanuele Giaquinta).
216 - remove colorRV resource (it was enabled only with frills off).
217 - fix numlock handling, the most longstanding bug to date (Emanuele Giaquinta).
218 - reduce the number of custom bits to 4, to make room
219 for 256 colours.
220 - add support for 256 colors (Emanuele Giaquinta, Marc Lehmann).
221 - add rxvt-unicode-256color terminfo and use it by default in 256 colors mode.
222 - update rxvt-unicode terminfo to state 7744 colour pairs to cover all
223 88*88 possible pairs.
224 - actually added macosx-clipboard-native, which should have been in
225 the 9.07 release but had been forgotten.
226 - fix hang if DECAWM is not set and there are not enough columns to insert a
227 character (Emanuele Giaquinta).
228 - cub1 ("backspace") will now respect wrapping when past the rightmost column,
229 working around a shortcoming of most tty line discipline's line editing.
230 - add support for grabbing the clipboard selection and extend
231 selection{_clear,_grab,} perl bindings to optionally work
232 on the clipboard selection (based on patch by Dana Jansens).
233 - no longer force CERASE to BACKSPACE - use the system default. affects
234 default value for VERASE only when no compatible setting for
235 backspacekey was given.
236 - use higher than 38400 baudrate setting, if detected.
237 - erase screen would clear to the wrong background when blinking
238 was enabled (which selects high intensity under some circumstances).
239 - scr_kill_char didn't touch the line.
240 - upgrade and port to libev-4.01.
241 - enabled solaris event ports and kqueue backends (if available).
242
2439.07 Wed Dec 30 07:07:18 CET 2009
244 - port to glibc-2.10 changes (strchr etc. returning const char *
245 in C++), based on patches by Milos Jakubicek and Oliver Mader.
246 - the binary search algorithm to find precomposed characters
247 was faulty, skipping some possible combinations (found by
248 Mikachu).
249 - new -letterspace option, patch by Mark H. Wilkinson.
250 - enable --mlock option for urxvt with frills on
251 systems supporting it (patch by Russell Harmon).
252 - urxvt did not compile without frills enabled
253 (analysed by Matthew Rosewarne).
254 - correctly reset the mbstate after an illegal
255 input sequence when handling terminal output (Emanuele Giaquinta).
256 - avoid redrawing wide characters with combining enabled on every
257 refresh (reported by Mikachu).
258 - fix a typo preventing the ISO-646.1991 character set from being
259 recognized (http://achurch.org/patch-pile/).
260 - better warning for x11 font encoding detection failures, also,
261 try to deduce encoding from both font properties and name
262 (adapted from http://achurch.org/patch-pile/).
263 - resizing the window with the scrollbar disabled via the escapes
264 sequence could make the window bigger again (Mikachu).
265 - make sure the alignment for fd passing control messages
266 is correct and work around some NetBSD issues (Taylor R Campbell).
267 - update to libptytty 1.3.
268 - replace macosx-clipboard by a nicer version by Reza Jelveh, and move
269 the old version to macosx-clipboard-native.
270 - document the -uc option (Emanuele Giaquinta).
271 - assertions in libev are now enabled depending on frills.
272 - update AnyEvent implementation to version 5.23 API.
273 - work around arrogant bsd idiocies again: netbsd spills the default
274 namespace with lots of symbols "for gnu/gcc compatibility" even
275 though neither of them does it, and then calls the rest of the world
276 in need of fixing. go figure.
277 - on_keyboard_command is on_user_command (patch by Michael Witten).
278 - setting the selection from perl will now reset the selection screen
279 to the current screen. the screen can be manipulated using
280 the new ->selection_screen method.
281 - implement --enable-assert configure option and get rid of DEBUG_STRICT
282 (based on patch by Emanuele Giaquinta).

284 - allow `xxx' quoting style for perl selection.
285 - upgrade to libev-3.9 prerelease.
286 - updated compose tables to unicode 5.2.0.
287
2889.06 Sat Nov 8 17:47:18 CET 2008
289 - NOTICE: this release updates terminfo/termcap.
290 - updates libev to 3.48.
291 - the aterm code now frees the as visual and image manager objects
292 when a window was closed.
293 - do not (wrongly) adjust the virtual line length inside
294 scr_insdel_chars/ERASE (Miroslav Lichvar).
295 - fix an issue where wide tab characters caused character shifts
296 when part of them was deleted (tracked down by Miroslav Lichvar).
297 - artificially enlargen the previous character at the end of a line
298 when trying to output a character that doesn't fit. looks ugly, but
299 makes copy&paste work.
300 - remove bogus "setuid/setgid security issues" from rxvt.1.pod, they
301 no longer apply.
302 - the urgency hint is now cleared on both focus in and focus out.
303 - cache urgency hint locally to avoid server rtt on every focus change.
304 - perl 5.10 needs PERL_SYS_INIT3 on hppa.
305 - ignore byte-order marks and do not treat them like combining characters.
306 - fix build issue when CURSOR_BLINK is not defined (Emanuele Giaquinta).
307 - do some µ-optimisations to the character fast path.
308 - use a less cunning, but more robust algorithm to avoid one terminal
309 monopolising the whole process by outputting a lot of text.
310 - try to work around linux first breaking sched_yield and now breaking
311 the only known workaround.
312 - new option -icon to set _NET_WM_ICON (based on patch by Frank Schmitt).
313 - initialise the as visual only on demand, instead of unconditionally,
314 to save memory in the common case of not using visual gimmicks.
315 - try to work around bugs in a few wm's that erroneously resize
316 client windows on hint property updates by temporarily
317 disabling size hints.
318 - implement the DECSTR soft reset sequence and use it for tput init,
319 and make hard RIS and DECSTR both reset more private modes, such
320 as mouse reporting.
321 - redundantly clear mouse reporting and a few other states in
322 tput init/tput reset, for older urxvts.
323 - partial/full clear screens did cause flickering and possibly pixel
324 droppings when urxvt viewed the scrollback buffer.
325 - use current rendition style in DCH sequence.
326 - the 132/80 mode switch no longer forces a screen reset.
327 - add an osc sequence to change the border colour (Emanuele Giaquinta).
328 - new perl extension "overlay-osc", for status displays and the like.
329 - fix some minor cursor drawing issues with overlays by allowing
330 overlays to modify screen flags (to disable the cursor themselves).
331 - work around programs not restoring rstyle before rmcup
332 (analysed by Miroslav Lichvar).
333
3349.05 Sun Jun 15 20:09:20 CEST 2008
335 - new option --cd/chdir to set the starting working directory.
336 - tabbed extension now starts in the "correct" working directory.
337 - work around fedora 9 providing isastream but not the relevant
338 header file for it (report by Tuncer Ayaz).
339 - upgrade libev, fixing a bug in the select backend.
340 with more than 31 file descriptors on non-linux 64 bit systems.
341 - correctly reset the multibyte state to the initial one
342 after EILSEQ (patch by Neil Booth). This fixes the
343 issue of rxvt-unicode not properly displaying text after an illegal
344 sequence on NetBSD and probably other systems.
345 - more intelligent property handling with -pe tabbed, works around
346 broken window managers (kwm et al.), saves bandwidth and should
347 help working window managers as well.
348 - made tabs moveable (based on a patch by Petr Machata).
349 - implement ESC [ 3 K as a more rational alternative to ESC [ 0 K.
350 - support relative paths for RXVT_SOCKET in urxvtd.
351 - the tabbed extension now blindly copies over all (rxvt-) resources
352 from the toplevel window to the children.
353 - better diagnostic on 0x0 window geometries.
354 - update AnyEvent API to version 3.4 and above.
355 - document the default value of :0 for DISPLAY.
356 - rename perl method XChangeWindowProperty to XChangeProperty.
357
3589.02 Tue Jan 29 11:58:36 CET 2008
359 - the "exg makes everybody happy" release.
360 - fix build with !xft.
361 - always compile in plain style scrollbar (simplifies code and looks great).
362
3639.01 Sat Jan 26 20:49:27 CET 2008
364 - be more aggressive about handling X events, this seems to be required
365 with newer xlibs (should fix the "screen stays black until event is
366 received" problem, again :)
367 - add buffered resource to control xft double-buffering.
368
3699.0 Fri Jan 25 19:34:04 CET 2008
370 - fix a crash bug where urxvtd would crash when urxvtc was called
371 with wrong arguments (I wish debian maintainers in general would
372 report bugs and their proposed fixes to the original package maintainers
373 instead of sitting on them for good measure to see if anybody notices).
374 - drawing xft compose characters was causing garbage to be drawn.
375 - correctly clear xft character background in all cases.
376 - implement bracketed paste mode (xterm private mode 2004).
377 - improve documentation on alpha channel handling, make urxvt
378 work better on servers lacking the RENDER extension when alpha
379 channels or background images are used.
380 - check for refresh after initialising to avoid staying blank
381 till the first event arrives. or so.
382 - the FORCE_UNBUFFERED_XFT feature macro works again.
383 - continuously update transparency while moving/resizing now.
384 - OSC 39/49 are deprecated and aliased to OSC 10/11.
385 - cub1 now acts as advertised (and ignores the "wrapped" state).
386 - the 132/80 mode switch now forces a height of 24, too, and
387 resets the terminal.
388 - scrollbar code cleanups.
389 - stopping children is no longer confused with children exiting.
390 - removed (undocumented) #aarrggbb format.
391 - updated to libev 3.0.
392
3938.9 Mon Dec 24 07:51:40 CET 2007
394 - fix the issue where urxvtd would not immediately close a window
395 when the command exited but only on the next X event.
396 - changed terminfo file not to use application keypad mode.
397 - fix the issue where making a selection in one urxvtd window
398 would not clear it visually in another.
399 - fix an issue of urxvt not getting background pixmap updates
400 and flickering after bg pixmap changes (reported by Mikachu).
401 - fix redraw bug in xterm scrollbar with -sr (reported by Mikachu).
402 - correctly provide dependencies for libev (µikachu).
403 - minor code reorganisations and cleanups.
404 - be more robust in case the urxvt-popup extension cannot be loaded.
405
4068.8 Sat Dec 15 19:40:39 CET 2007
407 - option -C was aliased to all unsupported options, activating
408 options that shouldn't be compiled in, leading to interesting
409 effects.
410 - updated libev, working around a bug in linux 2.4, curing the
411 symptom of urxvt not closing its window on shell exit. also
412 fixes a problem with urxvt not refreshing.
