22TODO: skipscorll option 22TODO: cursor restore/rendition restore on rmcup
23TODO: really enable libafterimage by default (6mb => 10mb rss without using it)? 23 - NOTICE: this release updates terminfo/termcap.
24TODO: document -blr units, and possibly fix blur (20 seems to be about 3 pixels, 24 - the aterm code now frees the as visual and image manager objects
25 80 seems to be about 3 pixels, too, just much slower). 25 when a window was closed.
26TODO: when window partilaly off-screen, -blr does not have any effetc anymore. 26 - do not (wrongly) adjust the virtual line length inside
27TODO: rid of global dpy variable. 27 scr_insdel_chars/ERASE (Miroslav Lichvar).
288. 28 - fix an issue where wide tab characters caused character shifts
29 - fix a lot of commandline switches (-C, -iconic, -ic, , -tr) 29 when part of them was deleted (tracked down by Miroslav Lichvar).
30 that were being ignored (Sasha Vasko). 30 - artificially enlargen the previous character at the end of a line
31 when trying to output a character that doesn't fit. looks ugly, but
32 makes copy&paste work.
33 - remove bogus "setuid/setgid security issues" from rxvt.1.pod, they
34 no longer apply.
35 - the urgency hint is now cleared on both focus in and focus out.
36 - cache urgency hint locally to avoid server rtt on every focus change.
37 - perl 5.10 needs PERL_SYS_INIT3 on hppa.
38 - ignore byte-order marks and do not treat them like combining characters.
39 - fix build issue when CURSOR_BLINK is not defined (Emanuele Giaquinta).
40 - do some µ-optimisations to the character fast path.
41 - use a less cunning, but more robust algorithm to avoid one terminal
42 monopolising the whole process by outputting a lot of text.
43 - try to work around linux first breaking sched_yield and now breaking
44 the only known workaround.
45 - new option -icon to set _NET_WM_ICON (based on patch by Frank Schmitt).
46 - initialise the as visual only on demand, instead of unconditionally,
47 to save memory in the common case of not using visual gimmicks.
48 - try to work around bugs in a few wm's that errornously resize
49 client windows on hint property updates by temporarily
50 disabling size hints.
51 - implement the DECSTR soft reset sequence and use it for tput init,
52 and make hard RIS and DECSTR both reset more private modes, such
53 as mouse reporting.
54 - redundantly clear mouse reporting and a few other states in
55 tput init/tput reset, for older urxvts.
56 - partial/full clear screens did cause flickering and possibly pixel
57 droppings when urxvt viewed the scrollback buffer.
58 - use current rendition style in DCH sequence.
59 - the 132/80 mode switch no longer forces a screen reset.
60 - add an osc sequence to change the border colour (Emanuele Giaquinta).
61 - new perl extension "overlay-osc", for status displays and the like.
62 - fix some minor cursor drawing issues with overlays by allowing
63 overlays to modify screen flags (to disable the cursor themselves).
64 - work around programs not restoring rstyle before rmcup.
65
669.05 Sun Jun 15 20:09:20 CEST 2008
67 - new option --cd/chdir to set the starting working directory.
68 - tabbed extension now starts in the "correct" working directory.
69 - work around fedora 9 providing isastream but not the relevant
70 header file for it (report by Tuncer Ayaz).
71 - upgrade libev, fixing a bug in the select backend
72 with more than 31 file descriptors on non-linux 64 bit systems.
73 - correctly reset the multibyte state to the initial one
74 after EILSEQ (patch by Neil Booth). This fixes the
75 issue of rxvt-unicode not properly displaying text after an illegal
76 sequence on NetBSD and probably other systems.
77 - more intelligent property handling with -pe tabbed, works around
78 broken window managers (kwm et al.), saves bandwidth and should
79 help working window managers as well.
80 - made tabs moveable (based on a patch by Petr Machata).
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.

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
