13 or something like that. guys, send me a patch.
14WISH: skipscroll option

278.
28 - fix a lot of commandline switches (-C, -iconic, -ic, , -tr)
29 that were being ignored (Sasha Vasko).
30 - initial transparency improvement/afterstep support
31 patch by Sasha Vasko.
32 - nuke reconf script, serves no purpose anymore.
33 - do not process focus events caused by grabs
34 (patch by Mikachu).
35 - better option handling, support more than 30 options (exg).
36 - add urgentOnBell resource to set the urgency hint
37 (patch by Philip Paeps).
38 - add binding for backspace in iso14755 5.1 to remove the last
39 digit.
40 - go with the times and expect x11 library files in /usr/lib, not
41 /usr/X11R6/lib.
42 - add iso14755_52 resource to disable iso14755 5.2.
43
448.2 Sat Feb 17 21:35:28 CET 2007
45 - fix make depend in src/, reported by exg.
46 - fixed typo in urxvt::GET_CUSTOM, causing the result to be wrong.
47 (patch by Sergey Vlasov).
48 - unbundled iom perl interface somewhat.
49 - scrollbar-xterm now uses the selected scrollColor instead of fg
50 (found by Aiviru).
51 - disabled linux kernel bug workaround again: disabling it gives
52 a 50% speed hit on affected machines, while enabling it gives
53 a similar speed hit to screen, which is likely the more common
54 case to work around for :/
55 - urxvt::rend2mask perl function, and utilization of it by matcher
56 (patch by Moshe Kamensky).
57 - use perl:matcher on a keysym to open most recently displayed URL.
58 - with matcher, when multiple patterns match, last wins, not first.
59 - fix make and make install with srcdir != builddir.
60 - updated bundled libptytty to fix a bug where the tty would be kept
61 open (see the libptytty ChangeLog for details).
62 - delay setting the IUTF8 flag to after the tty settings have been
63 set so its value does not get lost (reported and analysed by Andrei
64 Paskevich).
65 - rip out support for obsolete sgtty.h interface.
66 - rip out support for non-POSIX termios variants.
67 - update libptytty.
68 - update iom.C, make it call ptytty::sanitise_stdfd on init.
69 - when !XFT, change rounding of colours to use a less correct formula to
70 meet user expectancies (#aaa becomes #a000a000a000 not #9f9f9f9f9f9f).
71 - change the starting offset of the pixmap set with backgroundPixmap
72 from (50,50) to (0,0).
73 - fix a typo in button_release, now meta-button2 request the value of
74 the Clipboard selection as it should (patch by Serge Koksharov).
75 - fix a bug in drawing a cell with a nonspacing char when using an xft
76 font with inheritPixmap and tintColor.
77
788.1 Thu Dec 7 22:27:25 CET 2006
79 - ケリスマスプレゼント - zomg!!1, it's too early!!!
80 - fix the assumption that chars < 256 are single-width. Now
81 only assume this for codepoints 32 to 126 (reported by Dai.H.).
82 - $term->strwidth returned wide chars as width 1, because some jerk
83 confused min and max. Fixing this also fixes xim-onthespot.
84 Reported by Takano Akio.
85 - secondaryScroll is now enabled by default (as per the manpage),
86 reported by exg.
87 - correct the description of [percent]color rgba format in the manpage.
88 - incorporated macosx-clipboard extension by Samuel Ljungkvist.
89 - ignore (some) useless focus events (reported by mmc).
90 - updated compose table to unicode 5.0.0.
91
928.0 Thu Nov 2 18:35:19 CET 2006
93 - combining characters cleared the area instead of creating an overlay,
94 thus losing the ability to draw combining characters properly in most
95 circumstances (reported by exg).
96 - specified fonts were incorrectly morphed to bold/italic according to the
97 basefont, even if explicitly specified (tracked down by tpope).
98 - fixed urxvt::strwidth to calculate width in the same way as screen.C.
99 - fix a crash caused by passing negative widths to overlay functions.
100 - added 'matcher' extension by tpope, replacing the mark-urls extension.
101 - improve url regex to match anything www.* (tpope).
102 - fixed bug with outline cursor color being wrong after xft fonts.
103 - update to libptytty-1.0.
104 - give proper diagnostic when RXVT_SOCKET is too long instead of
105 corrupting the stack (patch by exg).
106 - display current terminal locale in option menu.
107 - urxvtd no longer crashes when the client sends an inaccessible
108 working directory (reported by Roland Baer, possibly fixes gentoo
109 bug #143985).
110 - fixed many minor issues reported by Roland Baer.
111 - Leonid Khramov spotted a minor glitch in rxvtfont.C that
112 should not have any consequences, but was buggy nonetheless.
113 - manpage fix by exg.
114
1157.9 Mon Aug 7 18:16:07 CEST 2006
116 - fix the crashing bug people encountered with 7.8 + urxvtd + perl
117 + transparency. Ought to fix debian bug #380348.
118 - fix urxvtc.1.pod: it actually claimed -pty-fd would not work. But
119 it does! :->
120 - rxvt_fatal() in case the locale string is too long for our static buffer.
121 - fixed many, many, typos in the manpages (patch supplied by ves).
122
1237.8 Mon Jul 17 21:00:46 CEST 2006
124 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: this version will always read ~/.Xdefaults,
125 earlier versions only read it if display-resources (usually from
126 .Xresources) are not set. This avoids the #1 FAQ ("why isn't my
127 resource used") and seems to be logical behaviour, too. .Xdefaults
128 resources have a lower priority than display-specific resources.
129 - add "kuake" perl extension that does a similar thing to the kuake
130 terminal emulator (see man urxtvperl).
131 - use less "correct" color scaling that is compatible with libX11 and
132 Xft (avoids off-by-one colors resulting in striped backgrounds).
133 - the "depth" resource is now respected.
134 - preset the searchable-scrollback pattern with "(?i)" to default search
135 to case-insensitivity. Will automatically be cleared when typing an
136 uppercase character.
137 - add FORCE_UNBUFFERED_XFT define to features.h.
138 - re-enabled highlightcolor support with --enable-frills, based on
139 a patch by Martin Stubenschrott.
140 - double-buffered xft drawing did suffer from pixel offset issues
141 when pixmap transparency was enabled.
142 - strategically add # to the url-match regexes, as we really want to
143 match common URIs not common URLs. Reported by Aaron Griffin.
144 - moved on_osc_seq to on_osc_seq_perl and added a more
145 generic osc_seq.
146 - fix a bug causing double callback invocations when perl hooks
147 were invoked recursively.
148 - the automove-background extension now properly works when the
149 pixmap gets reset with an osc sequence (sqweek).
150 - selection-pastebin did not work properly with non-latin1-characters.
151 - apply colorUL only when the text colour is the default fg
152 (patch by Wu Fengguang).
153 - removed rxvtlib.h from the tarball, it had no reason to be there
154 (spotted by Decklin Foster).
155 - fix compiling with TRANSPARENT but !XPM_BACKGROUND, as reported
156 by omatunto_.
157 - slap in a using namespace std, might help on platforms that don't
158 follow C++ closely enough.
159 - fix mailto url regex, spotted within milliseconds by Jost Krieger.
160 - applied fade_color_update_func.patch by WU Fengguang.
161 - fix a bug where (due to an optimisation in av_delete), hiding the
162 bottom-most overlay would hide two overlays.
163
1647.7 Tue Feb 21 12:32:49 CET 2006
165 - use double-buffered drawing (xft fonts only). On many driver/hardware
166 combination this actually increases xft drawing speed, at the expense
167 of more network bandwidth and slight nausea on the side of the author.
168 - readline perl extension now requires shift-click instead of a normal
169 click, and eats the click.
170 - tabbed perl extension now supports -e.
171 - disabled graphics-exposures on the main drawing GC, report any
172 refresh bugs please.
173 - improve property handling for -pe tabbed: avoid unnecessary property
174 changes (for kde's benefit) at the expense of extra round-trips,
175 improve size hint setting.
176 - modified XIM according to a patch sent by Takano Akio that sets
177 the preedit rectangle for OverTheSpot, which helps some input methods
178 to correctly position their preedit window.
179 - un-optimise the line clearing on newly scrolled-in lines a bit: the
180 former reasoning was that any fg colour on default bg looks the same
181 in empty spaces, but thats not true when reversing (e.g. selection),
182 so also check for matching fg colours. This fixes the problem where
183 selecting newly scrolled-in lines would exhibit wrong colours.
184 - fix a bug in the perl interface causing focus in events to generate
185 focus out perl events, causing bad focus effects with -pe tabbed.
186 - fix a race resulting in a crash on exiting.
187 - fix a with --disable-xft that caused xfreecolors to be called on
188 colors never allocated, resulting in aborts (reported by Paco-Paco).
189 - resources on non-initial screens weren't refetched correctly
190 (reported by Paco-Paco).
191 - fix a bug in xcopyarea pass and _disable_ it, as it seems not to be
192 working in either rxvt-unicode nor in the original rxvt.
193 - removed undocumented -exec alias for the -e option.
194
1957.6 Fri Feb 10 08:52:36 CET 2006
196 - changed interpretation of [alpha] colour prefix.
197 - +option now really sets the option to default, instead of using the
198 resource value.
199 - options that require an argument now really _require_ an argument.
200 - the tabbed extension now forwards focus and keys events to th
201 relevant tab window.
202 - tab colours are now configurable and have sensible defaults
203 (initial patch by hednod).
204 - option menu is extendable, readline, selection and
205 selection-autotransform can now be disabled/enabled at runtime.
206 - forcing a configure event to tabbed subwindows with -pe tabbed, for
207 the benefit of automove-background.
208 - the automove-background extension added a wrong constant offset.
209 - force refresh of XA_RESOURCE_STRING on virtual reconnect.
210 - return exit status 2 in urxvtc when urxvtd couldn't be contacted.
211 - the linux yield hack is back, now using usleep, and enabled only on
212 __linux__.
213 - further round trip eliminations in the !XFT case by remembering
214 the colour components.
215 - plain scrollbar works better with -sr.
216 - fixed half-shadow scrollbar look.
217 - more colour rtt optimisations.
218 - properly(?) free colours on window close.
219 - reorganised the FAQ into multiple sections.
220 - add ISO646.1991-IRV to the list of supported codesets.
221 - minor libptytty update.
222
2237.5 Tue Jan 31 15:15:43 CET 2006
224 - further improvements to the careful mode detection, and font width
225 detection:
226 - fully double-wide fonts will now be correctly treated,
227 - overlap detection was improved.
228 - detect totally broken fonts (usually synthesized by xft).
229 - careful mode forced refresh sometimes clashed with blinking,
230 causing unnecessary screen redraws.
231 - better handling of XFT combining characters.
232 - enable antialiasing for some replacement fonts, as they
233 might get used for other encodings which really need it, later.
234 - remove spacing=100 from all default fonts, as this creates totally
235 weird spacing (5 times normal) with xft.
236 - removed iso10646 fallback, as xorgs iso10646 encoded fonts are mostly
237 broken.
238 - removed gnu unifont fallback, all combining characters are broken.
239 - replace named colours by xorg's rgb.txt equivalents, to
240 reduce round trip time on startup, and short-cut allocation
241 of rgb:rr/gg/bb for xft.
242 - short-cut allocation of rgb values in the xlib case
243 (patch by Paco-Paco).
244 - overhauled color management: smaller codesize, alpha support.
245 - support "rgba:rrrr/gggg/bbbb/aaaa" color specifications and
246 an "[alpha]" prefix.
247 - try to work around Xft and Xrender forcing everything to be 100%
248 transparent. Long Live Xft!
249 - do not include X11/Intrinsic.h anymore, directly use
250 Xlib/Xutil/Xresource directly.
251 - try to find a nearest matching color when color allocation fails
252 on a pseudocolor screen.
253 - SYNCCVS: compared to rxvt-cvs 2006-01-28, no relevant changes.
254 - fix version report (DA) (which was unfortunately broken).
255 - changed version number report again, now to emulate xterm closer.
256 - added the OSC sequence 702 to detect the urxvt version number.
257 - small configure updates.
258 - further RTT optimisations.
259 - backported clean-up patches for makefiles and documentation from
260 the debian package.
261 - updated doc/rxvt-unicode.spec file. It's still not maintained here,
262 but much newer than the old one.
263
2647.4 Sat Jan 28 15:26:27 CET 2006
265 - screen background wasn't always erased properly when scrolling,
266 - re-enabled clearing optimisation disabled in 7.4pre.
267 - small configure updates for libptytty.
268 - fixed version options: line output.
269 - removed stoopid debugging message left in the code.
270
2717.3 Wed Jan 25 22:47:35 CET 2006
272 - don't let iso14755 or mouse reporting get into the way of perl
20 grabs never being cleared). 273 (could lead to global grabs never being cleared).
274 - experimental OnTheSpot editing support (-pe xim-onthespot).
275 - moved Shift-Button2 paste combination to Meta-Button2.
276 - the cutchars resource will now be respected and used by the
277 selection extension.
278 - added the "remote-clipboard" extension which just runs external
279 commands to fetch and store the selection data.
280 - added -depth switch that tries to get a different visual depth
281 than the default (replaces the old PREFER_24_BIT logic).
21 - removed (unused) arabic presentation form composing sequences. 282 - removed (unused) arabic presentation form composing sequences.
283 - be more strict when deciding that a core font glyph is too wide and
284 needs the careful rendering mode.
285 - allow more leeway for italic fonts when deciding that a character is
286 too wide and needs careful mode.
287 - redraw even more characters around characters using careful mode.
288 - made selection-pastebin fully asynchronous.
289 - reduced number of server turnarounds at startup by allocating
290 atoms only once per display.
291 - renamed on_keyboard_command to on_user_command.
292 - changed version sos (ESC [ > c) response to be more compatible with
293 xterm.
