21TODO: skipscroll option 22TODO: /*TODO: the xlceararea/xfillrectangle below don't take scroll offste into account, ask mikachu for details */
22TODO: really enable libafterimage by default (6mb => 10mb rss without using it)? 23
23TODO: document -blr units, and possibly fix blur (20 seems to be about 3 pixels, 24TODO: cursor over overlays, when focus change?
24 80 seems to be about 3 pixels, too, just much slower). 25TODO: tput reset, reset more stuff/mouse reporting
25TODO: when window partially off-screen, -blr does not have any effect anymore. 26 - the aterm code now frees the as visual and image manager objects
26TODO: rid of global dpy variable. 27 when a window was closed.
278. 28 - do not (wrongly) adjust the virtual line length inside
29 scr_insdel_chars/ERASE (Miroslav Lichvar).
30 - fix an issue where wide tab characters caused character shifts
31 when part of them was deleted (tracked down by Miroslav Lichvar).
32 - artificially enlargen the previous character at the end of a line
33 when trying to output a character that doesn't fit. looks ugly, but
34 makes copy&paste work.
35 - remove bogus "setuid/setgid security issues" from rxvt.1.pod, they
36 no longer apply.
37 - the urgency hint is now cleared on both focus in and focus out.
38 - cache urgency hint locally to avoid server rtt on every focus change.
39 - perl 5.10 needs PERL_SYS_INIT3 on hppa.
40 - ignore byte-order marks and do not treat them like combining characters.
41 - fix build issue when CURSOR_BLINK is not defined (Emanuele Giaquinta).
42 - do some µ-optimisations to the character fast path.
43 - use a less cunning, but more robust algorithm to avoid one terminal
44 monopolising the whole process by outputting a lot of text.
45 - try to work around linux first breaking sched_yield and now breaking
46 the only known workaround.
47 - new option -icon to set _NET_WM_ICON (based on patch by Frank Schmitt).
48 - initialise the as visual only on demand, instead of unconditionally,
49 to save memory in the common case of not using visual gimmicks.
50 - try to work around a race between urxvt and wm's on programmatic
51 resizes by temporarily disabling size hints.
52 - implement the DECSTR soft reset sequence and use it for tput init,
53 and make hard RIS and DECSTR both reset more private modes, such
54 as mouse reporting.
55 - redundantly clear mouse reporting and a few other states in
56 tput init/tput reset, for older urxvts.
57 - no longer clear the screen in tput init.
58
599.05 Sun Jun 15 20:09:20 CEST 2008
60 - new option --cd/chdir to set the starting working directory.
61 - tabbed extension now starts in the "correct" working directory.
62 - work around fedora 9 providing isastream but not the relevant
63 header file for it (report by Tuncer Ayaz).
64 - upgrade libev, fixing a bug in the select backend
65 with more than 31 file descriptors on non-linux 64 bit systems.
66 - correctly reset the multibyte state to the initial one
67 after EILSEQ (patch by Neil Booth). This fixes the
68 issue of rxvt-unicode not properly displaying text after an illegal
69 sequence on NetBSD and probably other systems.
70 - more intelligent property handling with -pe tabbed, works around
71 broken window managers (kwm et al.), saves bandwidth and should
72 help working window managers as well.
73 - made tabs moveable (based on a patch by Petr Machata).
74 - implement ESC [ 3 K as a more rational alternative to ESC [ 0 K.
75 - support relative paths for RXVT_SOCKET in urxvtd.
76 - the tabbed extension now blindly copies over all (rxvt-) resources
77 from the toplevel window to the children.
78 - better diagnostic on 0x0 window geometries.
79 - update AnyEvent API to version 3.4 and above.
80 - document the default value of :0 for DISPLAY.
81 - rename perl method XChangeWindowProperty to XChangeProperty.
82
839.02 Tue Jan 29 11:58:36 CET 2008
84 - the "exg makes everybody happy" release.
85 - fix build with !xft.
86 - always compile in plain style scrollbar (simplifies code and looks great).
87
889.01 Sat Jan 26 20:49:27 CET 2008
89 - be more aggressive about handling X events, this seems to be required
90 with newer xlibs (should fix the "screen stays black until event is
91 received" problem, again :)
92 - add buffered resource to control xft double-buffering.
93
949.0 Fri Jan 25 19:34:04 CET 2008
95 - fix a crash bug where urxvtd would crash when urxvtc was called
96 with wrong arguments (I wish debian maintainers in general would
97 report bugs and their proposed fixes to the original package maintaienrs
98 instead of sitting on them for good measure to see if anybody notices).
99 - drawing xft compose characters was causing garbage to be drawn.
100 - correctly clear xft character background in all cases.
101 - implement bracketed paste mode (xterm private mode 2004).
102 - improve documentation on alpha channel handling, make urxvt
103 work better on servers lacking the RENDER extension when alpha
104 channels or background images are used.
105 - check for refresh after initialising to avoid staying blank
106 till the first event arrives. or so.
107 - the FORCE_UNBUFFERED_XFT feature macro works again.
108 - continuously update transparency while moving/resizing now.
109 - OSC 39/49 are deprecated and aliased to OSC 10/11.
110 - cub1 now acts as advertised (and ignores the "wrapped" state).
111 - the 132/80 mode switch now forces a height of 24, too, and
112 resets the terminal.
113 - scrollbar code cleanups.
114 - stopping children is no longer confused with children exiting.
115 - removed (undocumented) #aarrggbb format.
116 - updated to libev 3.0.
117
1188.9 Mon Dec 24 07:51:40 CET 2007
119 - fix the issue where urxvtd would not immediately close a window
120 when the command exited but only on the next X event.
121 - changed terminfo file not to use application keypad mode.
122 - fix the issue where making a selection in one urxvtd window
123 would not clear it visually in another.
124 - fix an issue of urxvt not getting background pixmap updates
125 and flickering after bg pixmap changes (reported by Mikachu).
126 - fix redraw bug in xterm scrollbar with -sr (reported by Mikachu).
127 - correctly provide dependencies for libev (µikachu).
128 - minor code reorganisations and cleanups.
129 - be more robust in case the urxvt-popup extension cannot be loaded.
130
1318.8 Sat Dec 15 19:40:39 CET 2007
132 - option -C was aliased to all unsupported options, activating
133 options that shouldn't be compiled in, leading to interesting
134 effects.
135 - updated libev, working around a bug in linux 2.4, curing the
136 symptom of urxvt not closing its window on shell exit. also
137 fixes a problem with urxvt not refreshing.
138 - the text blink callback was called even when no blinking
139 text was visible.
140 - pre-8.4 slipwheeling behaviour has been reinstated, with
141 some minor improvements.
142 - streamlined x events processing to only flush once per
143 display and not once per terminal window.
144 - quite a bit of minor code cleanups and codesize optimisations.
145
1468.7 Sun Nov 25 10:23:49 CET 2007
147 - update libev with an important bugfix that would cause crashes
148 when closing windows (when using rxvtd, and update is recommended).
149 - do not compile in the block builtin graphics with --disable-frills.
150
1518.6 Fri Nov 23 14:10:57 CET 2007
152 - upgrade libev to disable kqueue on anything but netbsd as it
153 seems to be broken everywhere else w.r.t. ptys.
154 - allow for spurious event notifications, as at least epoll and
155 especially solaris ports like to lie about them (symptoms:
156 urxvt "hangs" until there is some x11 related activity).
157 - -keysym command line options are now subjected to xlib parsing.
158 - add 'xrm' option analogous to Xt one.
159
1608.5a Wed Nov 21 10:16:33 CET 2007
161 - make it compile with --disable-transparency.
162

164 - expect major portability issues in this release: please test and report.
165 - converted from the veritable io manager event loop to
166 the high performance libev (http://software.schmorp.de/pkg/libev).
167 - minor tuning to the perl selection (include single words and more quoting chars).
168 - fix memory leak in pixmap code.
169 - fix a serious bug while setting the XIM destroy callback
170 on (typical) 64 bit systems.
171 - automove-background functionality re-implemented internaly using :root op in pixmap
172 geometry string. For example: rxvt -pixmap "image.jpg;:root"
173 - do not link rxvtc against every lib on the planet anymore.
174 - parallel builds should work once more.
175
1768.4 Sat Oct 27 14:02:13 CEST 2007

178 - fix possible race betwen visual bell and poweron.
