5TODO: read property sequence is broken with respect to utf-8 etc. 8TODO: read property sequence is broken with respect to utf-8 etc.
6WISH: keyboard modification via esc-sequences. 9TODO: slow drag selection on remote display - other things seem fast (rxvt illness, motion hints?)
7WISH: line-rewrapping on resize 10TODO: investigate -pe tabbed -g 80x25 being 23 not 24 or 25 lines
8WISH: searchable backlog 11 => when setting the constraints, the wm might (correctly)
9WISH: meta-tagging of data by regex (my dream project) 12 resize the outer window, which might result in a smaller window overall.
10WISH: double-click: more intelligent (urls etc.) 13 or something like that. guys, send me a patch.
11WISH: OnTheSpot editing, or maybe switch to miiiiiiif 14WISH: skipscroll option
12WISH: tabbed windows (hey, just use screen...) 15WISH: selection-color-pair instead of reverse video
13WISH: just for fun, do shade and tint with XRender. 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.
19WISH: http://www120.pair.com/mccarthy/nextstep/intro.htmld/Workspace.html is the correct nextstep scrollbar look.

23TODO: fix rounding of colors when !xft (#aaaaaa => #a9a900) (do not use correct, but expected value)
2403:05 <Aiviru> Hrm. I've found that my problem isn't so much urxvt, though it /does/ seem to ignore colorRV
25 - fix make depend in src/, reported by exg.
26 - fixed typo in urxvt::GET_CUSTOM, causing the result to be wrong.
27 (patch by Sergey Vlasov).
28 - unbundled iom perl interface somewhat.
29 - scrollbar-xterm now uses the selected scrollColor instead of fg
30 (found by Aiviru).
31 - disabled linux kernel bug workaround again: disabling it gives
32 a 50% speed hit on affected machines, while enabling it gives
33 a similar speed hit to screen, which is likely the more common
34 case to work around for :/
35 - urxvt::rend2mask perl function, and utilization of it by matcher
36 (patch by Moshe Kamensky).
37 - use perl:matcher on a keysym to open most recently displayed URL.
38 - with matcher, when multiple patterns match, last wins, not first.
39 - fix make and make install with srcdir != builddir.
40
418.1 Thu Dec 7 22:27:25 CET 2006
42 - ケリスマスプレゼント - zomg!!1, it's too early!!!
43 - fix the assumption that chars < 256 are single-width. Now
44 only assume this for codepoints 32 to 126 (reported by Dai.H.).
45 - $term->strwidth returned wide chars as width 1, because some jerk
46 confused min and max. Fixing this also fixes xim-onthespot.
47 Reported by Takano Akio.
48 - secondaryScroll is now enabled by default (as per the manpage),
49 reported by exg.
50 - correct the description of [percent]color rgba format in the manpage.
51 - incorporated macosx-clipboard extension by Samuel Ljungkvist.
52 - ignore (some) useless focus events (reported by mmc).
53 - updated compose table to unicode 5.0.0.
54
558.0 Thu Nov 2 18:35:19 CET 2006
56 - combining characters cleared the area instead of creating an overlay,
57 thus losing the ability to draw combining characters properly in most
58 circumstances (reported by exg).
59 - specified fonts were incorrectly morphed to bold/italic according to the
60 basefont, even if explicitly specified (tracked down by tpope).
61 - fixed urxvt::strwidth to calculate width in the same way as screen.C.
62 - fix a crash caused by passing negative widths to overlay functions.
63 - added 'matcher' extension by tpope, replacing the mark-urls extension.
64 - improve url regex to match anything www.* (tpope).
65 - fixed bug with outline cursor color being wrong after xft fonts.
66 - update to libptytty-1.0.
67 - give proper diagnostic when RXVT_SOCKET is too long instead of
68 corrupting the stack (patch by exg).
69 - display current terminal locale in option menu.
70 - urxvtd no longer crashes when the client sends an inaccessible
71 working directory (reported by Roland Baer, possibly fixes gentoo
72 bug #143985).
73 - fixed many minor issues reported by Roland Baer.
74 - Leonid Khramov spotted a minor glitch in rxvtfont.C that
75 should not have any consequences, but was buggy nonetheless.
76 - manpage fix by exg.
77
787.9 Mon Aug 7 18:16:07 CEST 2006
79 - fix the crashing bug people encountered with 7.8 + urxvtd + perl
80 + transparency. Ought to fix debian bug #380348.
81 - fix urxvtc.1.pod: it actually claimed -pty-fd would not work. But
82 it does! :->
83 - rxvt_fatal() in case the locale string is too long for our static buffer.
84 - fixed many, many, typos in the manpages (patch supplied by ves).
85
867.8 Mon Jul 17 21:00:46 CEST 2006
87 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: this version will always read ~/.Xdefaults,
88 earlier versions only read it if display-resources (usually from
89 .Xresources) are not set. This avoids the #1 FAQ ("why isn't my
90 resource used") and seems to be logical behaviour, too. .Xdefaults
91 resources have a lower priority than display-specific resources.
92 - add "kuake" perl extension that does a similar thing to the kuake
93 terminal emulator (see man urxtvperl).
94 - use less "correct" color scaling that is compatible with libX11 and
95 Xft (avoids off-by-one colors resulting in striped backgrounds).
96 - the "depth" resource is now respected.
97 - preset the searchable-scrollback pattern with "(?i)" to default search
98 to case-insensitivity. Will automatically be cleared when typing an
99 uppercase character.
100 - add FORCE_UNBUFFERED_XFT define to features.h.
101 - re-enabled highlightcolor support with --enable-frills, based on
102 a patch by Martin Stubenschrott.
103 - double-buffered xft drawing did suffer from pixel offset issues
104 when pixmap transparency was enabled.
105 - strategically add # to the url-match regexes, as we really want to
106 match common URIs not common URLs. Reported by Aaron Griffin.
107 - moved on_osc_seq to on_osc_seq_perl and added a more
108 generic osc_seq.
109 - fix a bug causing double callback invocations when perl hooks
110 were invoked recursively.
111 - the automove-background extension now properly works when the
112 pixmap gets reset with an osc sequence (sqweek).
113 - selection-pastebin did not work properly with non-latin1-characters.
114 - apply colorUL only when the text colour is the default fg
115 (patch by Wu Fengguang).
116 - removed rxvtlib.h from the tarball, it had no reason to be there
117 (spotted by Decklin Foster).
118 - fix compiling with TRANSPARENT but !XPM_BACKGROUND, as reported
119 by omatunto_.
120 - slap in a using namespace std, might help on platforms that don't
121 follow C++ closely enough.
122 - fix mailto url regex, spotted within milliseconds by Jost Krieger.
123 - applied fade_color_update_func.patch by WU Fengguang.
124 - fix a bug where (due to an optimisation in av_delete), hiding the
125 bottom-most overlay would hide two overlays.
126
1277.7 Tue Feb 21 12:32:49 CET 2006
128 - use double-buffered drawing (xft fonts only). On many driver/hardware
129 combination this actually increases xft drawing speed, at the expense
130 of more network bandwidth and slight nausea on the side of the author.
131 - readline perl extension now requires shift-click instead of a normal
132 click, and eats the click.
133 - tabbed perl extension now supports -e.
134 - disabled graphics-exposures on the main drawing GC, report any
135 refresh bugs please.
136 - improve property handling for -pe tabbed: avoid unnecessary property
137 changes (for kde's benefit) at the expense of extra round-trips,
138 improve size hint setting.
139 - modified XIM according to a patch sent by Takano Akio that sets
140 the preedit rectangle for OverTheSpot, which helps some input methods
141 to correctly position their preedit window.
142 - un-optimise the line clearing on newly scrolled-in lines a bit: the
143 former reasoning was that any fg colour on default bg looks the same
144 in empty spaces, but thats not true when reversing (e.g. selection),
145 so also check for matching fg colours. This fixes the problem where
146 selecting newly scrolled-in lines would exhibit wrong colours.
147 - fix a bug in the perl interface causing focus in events to generate
148 focus out perl events, causing bad focus effects with -pe tabbed.
149 - fix a race resulting in a crash on exiting.
150 - fix a with --disable-xft that caused xfreecolors to be called on
151 colors never allocated, resulting in aborts (reported by Paco-Paco).
152 - resources on non-initial screens weren't refetched correctly
153 (reported by Paco-Paco).
154 - fix a bug in xcopyarea pass and _disable_ it, as it seems not to be
155 working in either rxvt-unicode nor in the original rxvt.
156 - removed undocumented -exec alias for the -e option.
157
1587.6 Fri Feb 10 08:52:36 CET 2006
159 - changed interpretation of [alpha] colour prefix.
160 - +option now really sets the option to default, instead of using the
161 resource value.
162 - options that require an argument now really _require_ an argument.
163 - the tabbed extension now forwards focus and keys events to th
164 relevant tab window.
165 - tab colours are now configurable and have sensible defaults
166 (initial patch by hednod).
167 - option menu is extendable, readline, selection and
168 selection-autotransform can now be disabled/enabled at runtime.
169 - forcing a configure event to tabbed subwindows with -pe tabbed, for
170 the benefit of automove-background.
171 - the automove-background extension added a wrong constant offset.
172 - force refresh of XA_RESOURCE_STRING on virtual reconnect.
173 - return exit status 2 in urxvtc when urxvtd couldn't be contacted.
174 - the linux yield hack is back, now using usleep, and enabled only on
175 __linux__.
176 - further round trip eliminations in the !XFT case by remembering
177 the colour components.
178 - plain scrollbar works better with -sr.
179 - fixed half-shadow scrollbar look.
180 - more colour rtt optimisations.
181 - properly(?) free colours on window close.
182 - reorganised the FAQ into multiple sections.
183 - add ISO646.1991-IRV to the list of supported codesets.
184 - minor libptytty update.
185
1867.5 Tue Jan 31 15:15:43 CET 2006
187 - further improvements to the careful mode detection, and font width
188 detection:
189 - fully double-wide fonts will now be correctly treated,
190 - overlap detection was improved.
191 - detect totally broken fonts (usually synthesized by xft).
192 - careful mode forced refresh sometimes clashed with blinking,
193 causing unnecessary screen redraws.
194 - better handling of XFT combining characters.
195 - enable antialiasing for some replacement fonts, as they
196 might get used for other encodings which really need it, later.
197 - remove spacing=100 from all default fonts, as this creates totally
198 weird spacing (5 times normal) with xft.
199 - removed iso10646 fallback, as xorgs iso10646 encoded fonts are mostly
200 broken.
201 - removed gnu unifont fallback, all combining characters are broken.
202 - replace named colours by xorg's rgb.txt equivalents, to
203 reduce round trip time on startup, and short-cut allocation
204 of rgb:rr/gg/bb for xft.
205 - short-cut allocation of rgb values in the xlib case
206 (patch by Paco-Paco).
207 - overhauled color management: smaller codesize, alpha support.
208 - support "rgba:rrrr/gggg/bbbb/aaaa" color specifications and
209 an "[alpha]" prefix.
210 - try to work around Xft and Xrender forcing everything to be 100%
211 transparent. Long Live Xft!
212 - do not include X11/Intrinsic.h anymore, directly use
213 Xlib/Xutil/Xresource directly.
214 - try to find a nearest matching color when color allocation fails
215 on a pseudocolor screen.
216 - SYNCCVS: compared to rxvt-cvs 2006-01-28, no relevant changes.
217 - fix version report (DA) (which was unfortunately broken).
218 - changed version number report again, now to emulate xterm closer.
219 - added the OSC sequence 702 to detect the urxvt version number.
220 - small configure updates.
221 - further RTT optimisations.
222 - backported clean-up patches for makefiles and documentation from
223 the debian package.
224 - updated doc/rxvt-unicode.spec file. It's still not maintained here,
225 but much newer than the old one.
226
2277.4 Sat Jan 28 15:26:27 CET 2006
228 - screen background wasn't always erased properly when scrolling,
229 - re-enabled clearing optimisation disabled in 7.4pre.
230 - small configure updates for libptytty.
231 - fixed version options: line output.
232 - removed stoopid debugging message left in the code.
233
2347.3 Wed Jan 25 22:47:35 CET 2006
235 - don't let iso14755 or mouse reporting get into the way of perl
236 (could lead to global grabs never being cleared).
237 - experimental OnTheSpot editing support (-pe xim-onthespot).
238 - moved Shift-Button2 paste combination to Meta-Button2.
239 - the cutchars resource will now be respected and used by the
240 selection extension.
241 - added the "remote-clipboard" extension which just runs external
242 commands to fetch and store the selection data.
243 - added -depth switch that tries to get a different visual depth
244 than the default (replaces the old PREFER_24_BIT logic).
245 - removed (unused) arabic presentation form composing sequences.
246 - be more strict when deciding that a core font glyph is too wide and
247 needs the careful rendering mode.
248 - allow more leeway for italic fonts when deciding that a character is
249 too wide and needs careful mode.
250 - redraw even more characters around characters using careful mode.
251 - made selection-pastebin fully asynchronous.
252 - reduced number of server turnarounds at startup by allocating
253 atoms only once per display.
254 - renamed on_keyboard_command to on_user_command.
255 - changed version sos (ESC [ > c) response to be more compatible with
256 xterm.
257
2587.2 Sun Jan 22 21:58:16 CET 2006
259 - bugfix: urxvt (not urxvtd) did not correctly handle multiple
260 environments necessary, which resulted in segfaults within
261 getenv (reproducable: urxvt -fn 9x15, open a menu once,
262 ctrl-shift-672c).
263 - bugfix: the selection speedup in in 7.1 unfortunately caused
264 non-ascii characters to enlarge/move the selection.
265 - bugfix: resizing sometimes leaked lines from the secondary to
266 the primary screen.
267 - bugfix: reducing window size while large amounts of text were output
268 could lead to an assertion failure.
269 - added "tabbed" extension that provides a crude tabbed terminal.
270 - added "readline" extension that allows cursor positioning
271 via mouse clicks.
272 - now it is possible to insert the value of the CLIPBOARD selection
273 with shift - mouse button 2.
274 - fixed the automove-background extension to ignore coordinates
275 in non-synthetic events.
276 - created a separate libpty for portable and secure
277 pty/tty/utmp/wtmp/lastlog handling, and include it in rxvt-unicode.
278 - the non-terminfo visual bell now works asynchronously, so
279 continuous ASCI BELs in one terminal do no longer monopolise the
280 whole urxvt[d] process.
281 - support some *BSD makes (for the time being, gnu make is a safe bet).
282 - work around bugs in FreeBSD's gcc.
283 - implemented some *BSD fixes in configure.
284 - removed support for obsolete offix dnd protocol.
285
2867.1 Thu Jan 19 20:25:34 CET 2006
287 - setuid/setgid operation is now _encouraged_: security has been
288 improved by moving privileged operations into a separate process
289 and permanently dropping privileges within the terminal. This
290 makes it possible to remove security checks from the perl code
291 and gives a much safer feeling when urxvt needs to run with
292 special privileges.
293 - perl taint checking disabled, as urxvt no longer runs setuid/setgid
294 itself.
295 - new perl extension automove-background that can be used to get
296 the same effect as pseudo-transparency with any pixmap.
297 - new perl extension example: perl/selection-pastebin, can be used to
298 e.g. upload the selection to a webserver and generate a url, or
299 similar stuff.
300 - use the scrollback buffer even when the scroll region doesn't
301 span the whole screen, as long as it starts at row 0. Helps
302 for programs displaying a status line at the bottom.
303 - selection popup now shows selection in dec/hex/oct.
304 - perl/selection: matching on unicode characters in the selection
305 code was O(n²), which equals infinity in some degenerate cases
306 :-> Matching is now done on UTF-8, which makes it almost instant.
307 - perl/selection, perl/selection-autotransform: regexes are now
308 being interpreted in the locale urxvt was started.
309 - implemented override-redirect option and enabled it on menus,
310 as kwin puts our windows behind the terminal (what a shoddy wm).
311 - fixed struct utmp check in configure for OpenBSD.
312 - complete overhaul of the pty/utmp management stuff and configure
313 (Emanuele Giaquinta).
314 - add tsl/fsl and related capabilities to the terminfo description,
315 to set the window title.
316 - swap the environment in some more cases. This hopefully fixes
317 some segfaults that might be caused by xft asking for env variables
318 at the wrong time.
319 - removed src/strings.C and src/menubar.C. No menubar support
320 anymore.
321 - removed all traces of SMOOTH_REFRESH.
322 - nuked QNX support.
323 - made some fixes to xpm offset and scaling code.
324 - perl-overlays and refresh hooks were not applied in correct order.
325 - changed coordinate-system of view_start/nsaved to be top to bottom.
326 - iom extended to support listening for child exits.
327
3287.0 Fri Jan 13 14:02:18 CET 2006
329 - added sections for DISTRIBUTION MAINTAINERS and about
330 SETUID/SETGID to the FAQ.
331 - selection, searchable-scrollback, selection-popup and
332 option-popup extensions enabled by default.
333 - increased xft drawing speed for problematic fonts. The effect
334 will likely be small as 99% of the xft slowness is server-related.
335 - perl: much increased functionality, better overlays, popup support
336 and much much more.
337 - perl: urxvt::line now can set via ->t and ->r.
338 - perl: changed interpretation of --perl-ext-common and -pe.
339 - perl: finally implemented --perl-eval.
340 - perl: non-blocking anyevent support.
341 - perl: run tainted and ignore perl-eval/perl-lib if started
342 setuid/setgid.
343 - free the resource database: this plugs a massive memory leak. As a
344 side effect, it also gets rid of XGetDefault calls.
345 - free one of the cursors, fixes a small memory leak.
346 - built-in (as opposed to terminfos) visual bell was broken/too fast.
347 - applied minor cleanups by Ladislav Michnovic.
348 - applied pty handling cleanups and improvements (Emanuele Giaquinta).
349 - mark-urls launch-on-click by jepler.
350 - removed "small" resource parsing function, as it wasn't really
351 compatible, and not really small either.
352 - removed PATH_ENV and PATH file search support.
353 - removed support for locale-specific app-defaults file.
354 - fixed a bug where out-of-bounds colour sequences could lead
355 to crashes.
356 - limit colour changing to the standard 88 palette instead of all
357 colours.
358 - XTerm_Color01 sequence returned wrong results in query mode.
359 - iom.C now checks against destructed io_manager when unregistering.
360
3616.3 Wed Jan 4 22:37:10 CET 2006
362 - SECURITY FIX: on systems using openpty, permissions were
363 not correctly updated on the tty device and were left as
364 world-readable and world-writable (likely in original rxvt,
365 too), and were not restored properly. Affected are only
366 systems where non-unix ptys were used (such as most BSDs, not
367 GNU/Linux). (found, patched and debugged by Ryan Beasley).
368 - meta8 support was forcefully enabled in most configurations.
369 restored configurability of this (useless) feature (reported
370 by Mikachu).
371 - optionally embed a perl interpreter, which can be used for more
372 intelligent/customized selection support, visual feedback,
373 menus, tabs etc. See the the urxvtperl manpage, the -pe option,
374 perl*-resources and keysym resources. Not everything is there yet.
375 - try to be more clever about differing font sizes and their ascent.
376 Not guarenteed to work, but works better in most cases now.
377 - fix directory permissions on install.
378 - implemented option to disable built-in line drawing characters
379 and fall back to the font ones (patch by Martin Pohlack).
380 - disabled sched_yield support: the linux version is just too useless
381 (it schedules nice'd processes before the own one for extended
382 periods). Too bad, it could reduce system time by a factor of 5 here.
383
3846.2 Mon Jan 2 16:03:01 CET 2006
385 - implemented intensityStyles option which enables/disables bold/blink
386 selecting high intensity foreground/background colours, suggested by
387 Chuck Blake.
388 - move iso14755 character feedback box out of the way if it would
389 obscure the mouse cursor position.
390 - replaced callback.h by a fixed version from gvpe that correctly
391 returns the callback result (affects new -pty-fd semantics in urxvtc
392 on a few architectures). Reported by darix.
393 - include one trailing space in rectangular selections to indicate
394 the inserted newline (yeah, weird, but visually more pleasing).
395 - try to use sched_yield to (drastically) improve terminal data
396 transfer efficiency.
397 - further minor cleanups.
398
3996.1 Tue Dec 27 13:23:40 CET 2005
400 - update iso8859-7 table (euro and drachma round-trip et al.).
401 - fix a crash when the selection scrolls out of the scrollback
402 while the user still drags.
403 - selections that were partially scrolled out of the window were
404 not drawn correctly.
405 - lines newly scrolled in were not initialized properly, leading
406 to extremely long lines and (hopefully) some segfaults.
407 - iso14755 overlay position was wrong.
408 - iso14755 overlay now displays rendition info, too.
409 - use unicode white space class instead of hardcoded values for
410 stripping whitespace.
411 - do whitespace stripping on rectangular selections.
412 - slight cleanups in src/features.h.
413
4146.0 Sat Dec 24 13:58:56 CET 2005
415 - make it compile without SMART_RESIZE again.
416 - enable slow link support by default.
417 - fix relative cursor-positioning not respecting scrolling regions
418 (also a bug in original rxvt).
419 - initialize termios structure to zero when fetching it fails
420 (see http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=84647 for a
421 partial patch).
422 - bump max columns/rows to 10000 each.
423 - bump max savelines to 10000000.
424 - -pty-fd now passes the urxvtc fd to the urxvtd process.
425 - avoid linking against -lnsl/-lsocket/-lxpg4 unless neccessary.
426 - major code cleanup (still not complete, though).
427 - implement -hold option.
428 - _major_ rewrite of internal buffer handling:
429 - re-flow on resize, lines get wrapped instead of winged.
430 - circular line buffer (substantially speeds up scrolling).
431 - slightly less code + data memory usage per terminal.
432 - slight overall speed improvements.
433 - considerably improved code clarity.
434 - partial-screen scrolls no longer end up in the scrollback
435 buffer.
436
4375.9 Sat Dec 17 21:53:17 CET 2005
438 - fix a bug in the menu code of unknown impact, found by darix.
439 - clean up signal handling to be global, not per terminal
440 (matters only for rxvtd).

446 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: many configure options are now on by default.
447 If you want the old behaviour, try:
448 configure --disable-everything <your enable options>
449 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: -fade changed it's meaning to comply with
450 the documentation and common sense: when upgrading, replace your
451 percentage by 100-percentage.
452 - integrated "fade to specific colour" patch by Martin Parm.
453 - slow down the internal visual bell (delay by 20ms) and update
454 the terminfo flash code to use the same delay. This is
455 synchronous, so many bells might inhibit screen updates in other
456 windows.
457 - text with background==foreground colour gets displayed with default
458 bg/fg now when in reverse video, so it can be seen when selecting.

467 not support local unix connections, e.g cygwin. (btw, I didn't
468 even know about the -rootless and -multiwindow Cygwin/X modes).
469 - large amounts of text without control sequences or newlines
470 could almost freeze output. This has been fixed by adding extra
471 refreshes in these cases (also a problem in original rxvt).
