9TODO: slow drag selection on remote display - other things seem fast (rxvt illness, motion hints?)
10TODO: investigate -pe tabbed -g 80x25 being 23 not 24 or 25 lines
11 => when setting the constraints, the wm might (correctly)
12 resize the outer window, which might result in a smaller window overall.
13 or something like that. guys, send me a patch.
14WISH: selection-color-pair instead of reverse video
15WISH: load system-wide config file even if we don't have one

10WISH: anyevent mouse notification / manage MotionMask better. 17WISH: anyevent mouse notification / manage MotionMask better.
11WISH: just for fun, do shade and tint with XRender. 18WISH: kick out xpm.C, replace by pixbuf
12WISH: http://www120.pair.com/mccarthy/nextstep/intro.htmld/Workspace.html is the correct nextstep look.

21TODO: skipscroll option
22TODO: really enable libafterimage by default (6mb => 10mb rss without using it)?
23TODO: document -blr units, and possibly fix blur (20 seems to be about 3 pixels,

25TODO: when window partially off-screen, -blr does not have any effect anymore.
26TODO: rid of global dpy variable.
278.
28 - go with the times and expect x11 library files in /usr/lib, not
29 /usr/X11R6/lib.
30 - initial transparency improvement/afterstep support
31 patch by Sasha Vasko.
32 - add urgentOnBell resource to set the urgency hint
33 (patch by Philip Paeps).
34 - do not process focus events caused by grabs
35 (patch by Mikachu).
36 - add iso14755_52 resource to disable iso14755 5.2.
37 - add binding for backspace in iso14755 5.1 to remove the last
38 digit.
39 - better option handling, support more than 30 options (exg).
40 - nuke reconf script, serves no purpose anymore.
41 - disabled matcher/on_user_command processing in matcher extension.
42
438.2 Sat Feb 17 21:35:28 CET 2007
44 - fix make depend in src/, reported by exg.
45 - fixed typo in urxvt::GET_CUSTOM, causing the result to be wrong.
46 (patch by Sergey Vlasov).
47 - unbundled iom perl interface somewhat.
48 - scrollbar-xterm now uses the selected scrollColor instead of fg
49 (found by Aiviru).
50 - disabled linux kernel bug workaround again: disabling it gives
51 a 50% speed hit on affected machines, while enabling it gives
52 a similar speed hit to screen, which is likely the more common
53 case to work around for :/
54 - urxvt::rend2mask perl function, and utilization of it by matcher
55 (patch by Moshe Kamensky).
56 - use perl:matcher on a keysym to open most recently displayed URL.
57 - with matcher, when multiple patterns match, last wins, not first.
58 - fix make and make install with srcdir != builddir.
59 - updated bundled libptytty to fix a bug where the tty would be kept
60 open (see the libptytty ChangeLog for details).
61 - delay setting the IUTF8 flag to after the tty settings have been
62 set so its value does not get lost (reported and analysed by Andrei
63 Paskevich).
64 - rip out support for obsolete sgtty.h interface.
65 - rip out support for non-POSIX termios variants.
66 - update libptytty.
67 - update iom.C, make it call ptytty::sanitise_stdfd on init.
68 - when !XFT, change rounding of colours to use a less correct formula to
69 meet user expectancies (#aaa becomes #a000a000a000 not #9f9f9f9f9f9f).
70 - change the starting offset of the pixmap set with backgroundPixmap
71 from (50,50) to (0,0).
72 - fix a typo in button_release, now meta-button2 request the value of
73 the Clipboard selection as it should (patch by Serge Koksharov).
74 - fix a bug in drawing a cell with a nonspacing char when using an xft
75 font with inheritPixmap and tintColor.
76
778.1 Thu Dec 7 22:27:25 CET 2006
78 - ケリスマスプレゼント - zomg!!1, it's too early!!!
79 - fix the assumption that chars < 256 are single-width. Now
80 only assume this for codepoints 32 to 126 (reported by Dai.H.).
81 - $term->strwidth returned wide chars as width 1, because some jerk
82 confused min and max. Fixing this also fixes xim-onthespot.
83 Reported by Takano Akio.
84 - secondaryScroll is now enabled by default (as per the manpage),
85 reported by exg.
86 - correct the description of [percent]color rgba format in the manpage.
87 - incorporated macosx-clipboard extension by Samuel Ljungkvist.
88 - ignore (some) useless focus events (reported by mmc).
89 - updated compose table to unicode 5.0.0.
90
918.0 Thu Nov 2 18:35:19 CET 2006
92 - combining characters cleared the area instead of creating an overlay,
93 thus losing the ability to draw combining characters properly in most
94 circumstances (reported by exg).
95 - specified fonts were incorrectly morphed to bold/italic according to the
96 basefont, even if explicitly specified (tracked down by tpope).
97 - fixed urxvt::strwidth to calculate width in the same way as screen.C.
98 - fix a crash caused by passing negative widths to overlay functions.
99 - added 'matcher' extension by tpope, replacing the mark-urls extension.
100 - improve url regex to match anything www.* (tpope).
101 - fixed bug with outline cursor color being wrong after xft fonts.
102 - update to libptytty-1.0.
103 - give proper diagnostic when RXVT_SOCKET is too long instead of
104 corrupting the stack (patch by exg).
105 - display current terminal locale in option menu.
106 - urxvtd no longer crashes when the client sends an inaccessible
107 working directory (reported by Roland Baer, possibly fixes gentoo
108 bug #143985).
109 - fixed many minor issues reported by Roland Baer.
110 - Leonid Khramov spotted a minor glitch in rxvtfont.C that
111 should not have any consequences, but was buggy nonetheless.
112 - manpage fix by exg.
113
1147.9 Mon Aug 7 18:16:07 CEST 2006
115 - fix the crashing bug people encountered with 7.8 + urxvtd + perl
116 + transparency. Ought to fix debian bug #380348.
117 - fix urxvtc.1.pod: it actually claimed -pty-fd would not work. But
118 it does! :->
119 - rxvt_fatal() in case the locale string is too long for our static buffer.
120 - fixed many, many, typos in the manpages (patch supplied by ves).
121
1227.8 Mon Jul 17 21:00:46 CEST 2006
123 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: this version will always read ~/.Xdefaults,
124 earlier versions only read it if display-resources (usually from
125 .Xresources) are not set. This avoids the #1 FAQ ("why isn't my
126 resource used") and seems to be logical behaviour, too. .Xdefaults
127 resources have a lower priority than display-specific resources.
128 - add "kuake" perl extension that does a similar thing to the kuake
129 terminal emulator (see man urxtvperl).
130 - use less "correct" color scaling that is compatible with libX11 and
131 Xft (avoids off-by-one colors resulting in striped backgrounds).
132 - the "depth" resource is now respected.
133 - preset the searchable-scrollback pattern with "(?i)" to default search
134 to case-insensitivity. Will automatically be cleared when typing an
135 uppercase character.
136 - add FORCE_UNBUFFERED_XFT define to features.h.
137 - re-enabled highlightcolor support with --enable-frills, based on
138 a patch by Martin Stubenschrott.
139 - double-buffered xft drawing did suffer from pixel offset issues
140 when pixmap transparency was enabled.
141 - strategically add # to the url-match regexes, as we really want to
142 match common URIs not common URLs. Reported by Aaron Griffin.
143 - moved on_osc_seq to on_osc_seq_perl and added a more
144 generic osc_seq.
145 - fix a bug causing double callback invocations when perl hooks
146 were invoked recursively.
147 - the automove-background extension now properly works when the
148 pixmap gets reset with an osc sequence (sqweek).
149 - selection-pastebin did not work properly with non-latin1-characters.
150 - apply colorUL only when the text colour is the default fg
151 (patch by Wu Fengguang).
152 - removed rxvtlib.h from the tarball, it had no reason to be there
153 (spotted by Decklin Foster).
154 - fix compiling with TRANSPARENT but !XPM_BACKGROUND, as reported
155 by omatunto_.
156 - slap in a using namespace std, might help on platforms that don't
157 follow C++ closely enough.
158 - fix mailto url regex, spotted within milliseconds by Jost Krieger.
159 - applied fade_color_update_func.patch by WU Fengguang.
160 - fix a bug where (due to an optimisation in av_delete), hiding the
161 bottom-most overlay would hide two overlays.
162
1637.7 Tue Feb 21 12:32:49 CET 2006
164 - use double-buffered drawing (xft fonts only). On many driver/hardware
165 combination this actually increases xft drawing speed, at the expense
166 of more network bandwidth and slight nausea on the side of the author.
167 - readline perl extension now requires shift-click instead of a normal
168 click, and eats the click.
169 - tabbed perl extension now supports -e.
170 - disabled graphics-exposures on the main drawing GC, report any
171 refresh bugs please.
172 - improve property handling for -pe tabbed: avoid unnecessary property
173 changes (for kde's benefit) at the expense of extra round-trips,
174 improve size hint setting.
175 - modified XIM according to a patch sent by Takano Akio that sets
176 the preedit rectangle for OverTheSpot, which helps some input methods
177 to correctly position their preedit window.
178 - un-optimise the line clearing on newly scrolled-in lines a bit: the
179 former reasoning was that any fg colour on default bg looks the same
180 in empty spaces, but thats not true when reversing (e.g. selection),
181 so also check for matching fg colours. This fixes the problem where
182 selecting newly scrolled-in lines would exhibit wrong colours.
183 - fix a bug in the perl interface causing focus in events to generate
184 focus out perl events, causing bad focus effects with -pe tabbed.
185 - fix a race resulting in a crash on exiting.
186 - fix a with --disable-xft that caused xfreecolors to be called on
187 colors never allocated, resulting in aborts (reported by Paco-Paco).
188 - resources on non-initial screens weren't refetched correctly
189 (reported by Paco-Paco).
190 - fix a bug in xcopyarea pass and _disable_ it, as it seems not to be
191 working in either rxvt-unicode nor in the original rxvt.
192 - removed undocumented -exec alias for the -e option.
193
1947.6 Fri Feb 10 08:52:36 CET 2006
195 - changed interpretation of [alpha] colour prefix.
196 - +option now really sets the option to default, instead of using the
197 resource value.
198 - options that require an argument now really _require_ an argument.
199 - the tabbed extension now forwards focus and keys events to th
200 relevant tab window.
201 - tab colours are now configurable and have sensible defaults
202 (initial patch by hednod).
203 - option menu is extendable, readline, selection and
204 selection-autotransform can now be disabled/enabled at runtime.
205 - forcing a configure event to tabbed subwindows with -pe tabbed, for
206 the benefit of automove-background.
207 - the automove-background extension added a wrong constant offset.
208 - force refresh of XA_RESOURCE_STRING on virtual reconnect.
209 - return exit status 2 in urxvtc when urxvtd couldn't be contacted.
210 - the linux yield hack is back, now using usleep, and enabled only on
211 __linux__.
212 - further round trip eliminations in the !XFT case by remembering
213 the colour components.
214 - plain scrollbar works better with -sr.
215 - fixed half-shadow scrollbar look.
216 - more colour rtt optimisations.
217 - properly(?) free colours on window close.
218 - reorganised the FAQ into multiple sections.
219 - add ISO646.1991-IRV to the list of supported codesets.
220 - minor libptytty update.
221
2227.5 Tue Jan 31 15:15:43 CET 2006
223 - further improvements to the careful mode detection, and font width
224 detection:
225 - fully double-wide fonts will now be correctly treated,
226 - overlap detection was improved.
227 - detect totally broken fonts (usually synthesized by xft).
228 - careful mode forced refresh sometimes clashed with blinking,
229 causing unnecessary screen redraws.
230 - better handling of XFT combining characters.
231 - enable antialiasing for some replacement fonts, as they
232 might get used for other encodings which really need it, later.
233 - remove spacing=100 from all default fonts, as this creates totally
234 weird spacing (5 times normal) with xft.
235 - removed iso10646 fallback, as xorgs iso10646 encoded fonts are mostly
236 broken.
237 - removed gnu unifont fallback, all combining characters are broken.
238 - replace named colours by xorg's rgb.txt equivalents, to
239 reduce round trip time on startup, and short-cut allocation
240 of rgb:rr/gg/bb for xft.
241 - short-cut allocation of rgb values in the xlib case
242 (patch by Paco-Paco).
243 - overhauled color management: smaller codesize, alpha support.
244 - support "rgba:rrrr/gggg/bbbb/aaaa" color specifications and
245 an "[alpha]" prefix.
246 - try to work around Xft and Xrender forcing everything to be 100%
247 transparent. Long Live Xft!
248 - do not include X11/Intrinsic.h anymore, directly use
249 Xlib/Xutil/Xresource directly.
250 - try to find a nearest matching color when color allocation fails
251 on a pseudocolor screen.
15 - SYNCCVS: compared to rxvt-cvs 2006-01-28, no relevant changes. 252 - SYNCCVS: compared to rxvt-cvs 2006-01-28, no relevant changes.
16 - fix version report (DA) (which was unfortunately broken). 253 - fix version report (DA) (which was unfortunately broken).
17 - changed version number report again, now to emulate xterm closer. 254 - changed version number report again, now to emulate xterm closer.
18 - added the OSC sequence 702 to detect the urxvt version number. 255 - added the OSC sequence 702 to detect the urxvt version number.
19 - small configure updates. 256 - small configure updates.
20 - overhauled color management: smaller codesize, alpha support. 257 - further RTT optimisations.
21 - do not include X11/Intrinsic.h anymore, directly use 258 - backported clean-up patches for makefiles and documentation from
22 Xlib/Xutil/Xresource directly. 259 the debian package.
260 - updated doc/rxvt-unicode.spec file. It's still not maintained here,
261 but much newer than the old one.
