21TODO: really enable libafterimage by default (6mb => 10mb rss without using it)? 23TODO: split ROW into a ROW_fast (0..total*2-1) and ROW macros?
22TODO: document -blr units, and possibly fix blur (20 seems to be about 3 pixels, 24 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: A scale value of 0 in the bg image
23 80 seems to be about 3 pixels, too, just much slower). 25 geometry no longer enables tiling, so as to make it possible
24TODO: when window partially off-screen, -blr does not have any effect anymore. 26 to disable both scaling and tiling.
25TODO: rid of global dpy variable. 27 - overhaul of the bg image operations. The old operations have
268. 28 been removed in favour of simple composable operations and
29 styles built on top of the new operations and scale/position
30 settings. Old operations are still parsed for backward
31 compatibility (Emanuele Giaquinta).
32 - fix a crash caused by selection_check not properly resetting
33 out-of-bounds mark values (can happen when extending a selection
34 while scrolling up in curses programs for example).
35 - do not move the selection when scrolling up and the selection is
36 outside the scrolling region (Emanuele Giaquinta).
37 - fix display of bold bright black (reported by Ben Winslow).
38 - fix memory leak when urgentOnBell is set (patch by Nathaniel
39 Filardo).
40 - fix a redraw bug that occurs when a bg pixmap is set and the
41 wm does not honour the size hints set by urxvt. Now urxvt
42 forces the size of the terminal window to be a multiple of
43 the cell size.
44 - sanitise the argument of SD / SU sequences. Fixes a possible
45 crash when the argument is big enough, red hat bug #711137
46 (Emanuele Giaquinta).
47 - correctly split long lines when scrolling.
48 - Fix compilation on systems with bsd style utmp and no utmpx,
49 such as openbsd.
50 - consume button release event in matcher (exg).
51 - keyboard accessible list of recent matches in matcher
52 (Bob Farrell).
53 - properly process 'keysym' sequences in tabbed when using
54 'focus follows mouse' and the focus is on the main window
55 but not on the active terminal window (patch by Martin
56 Pohlack).
57 - Support for the freedesktop startup-notification protocol (patch by
58 Michael Stapelberg).
59 - the direction of VPR and VPB commands was reversed.
60
619.12 Wed Jun 29 14:34:28 CEST 2011
62 - fix regression in processing of SelectionNotify events.
63 urxvt would fail to request a selection if the owner did not
64 support the UTF8_STRING target.
65 - fix rendering of double width chars in certain circumstances, more
66 likely to happen if urxvt is compiled with 256 colors support as
67 urxvt runs out of fonts much earlier then. Fixes gentoo bug #358151
68 (Emanuele Giaquinta).
69 - restore support for 'list' syntax in keysym resources (requested by Sung Pae).
70 - always premultiply colour values - while this increases differences between
71 core fonts and xft, it is "more correct" in practical situations.
72 - disable PTYTTY_REENTRANT option - not needed for urxvt and saves a bit of code.
73 - remove lucidatypewriter from the list of fallback fonts, it was the only
74 non-xft non-cellfont in the list anyway.
75
769.11 Mon May 2 10:34:46 CEST 2011
77 - fix compilation on GNU/Hurd, debian bug #624736.
78 - remove 'list' syntax for keysym resources, as it serves no useful purpose.
79 If you need it, poke us and provide a use case.
80 - fix alpha channel support. Premultiply alpha in colours if the visual
81 supports an alpha channel, as xrender expects premultiplied alpha
82 (Emanuele Giaquinta).
83 - fix reply to a selection request sent by an obsolete client
84 such as syncterm (patch by Marcin Cieslak).
85 - fix crash when the window is resized and the overlay is active
86 (Emanuele Giaquinta, reported by Ryan Kavanagh).
87 - match character-wise rather than byte-wise in selection
88 extension again. perl 5.8.9+ is required to avoid extreme
89 slowdowns. Fixes debian bugs #523072, #616463.
90 - fix a possible crash if the INCR transfer process for a
91 selection property timeouts and at least one chunk is
92 received. (Emanuele Giaquinta)
93 - work around a memory corruption bug in xorg's XrmSetDatabase (apparently
94 broken since http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/xorg-commit-diffs/2004-March/000239.html).
95 - fix memory corruption bug when custom command sequences bound to keys
96 were injected into an already-full pty input buffer.
97 - gdk-pixbuf is autodetected by default and preferred over libafterimage.
98 - do not prepend a newline to the selection text when the starting line
99 of the selection is not highlighted (Emanuele Giaquinta).
100 - don't swap perl env with real env, save and restore it, just in case
101 we ever get recursive perl invocations. also saves a bit of codespace
102 with gcc.
103 - fix various memory leaks (Emanuele Giaquinta).
104 - fix typo in kIC terminfo capability, debian bug #446444.
105 - document 'thickness' resource.
106 - fix debian bug #504817, to the extent possible.
107 - try to detect byte order at compile time, saves a couple of
108 hundred bytes, if your compiler is smart enough.
109 - add support for previewing the pasted data in confirm-paste
110 (Emanuele Giaquinta).
111 - added "newlines to spaces" option in selection-popup.
112 - actually enabled solaris event ports backend (was disabled by accident).
113 - revert to 38400 baud max., mission accomplished.
114 - no longer create scary "pty_fill: PLEASE REPORT" message, instead,
115 silently drain the input (problem is well understood now).
116 - no longer swallow rob nation's own graphics mode commands.
117
1189.10 Mon Dec 13 17:43:52 CET 2010
119 - the "schmorp=north korea dickey=south korea" release.
120 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: make OSC 20 simpler and more correct
121 (Emanuele Giaquinta).
122 - if options were compiled out, this could lead to the option
123 count to be defined wrongly. This is likely behind the
124 failures with gcc 4.5.
125 - explicitly depend on fontconfig and xrender when xft support
126 is enabled. Although the public Xft api uses types from
127 both, in Xft 2.2.0 these libs are private
128 dependencies only thanks to an idiotic behaviour of
129 pkg-config that was added to workaround cases like this one.
130 Fixes linking when using GNU ld with --as-needed or GNU gold
131 (based on patch by Jan Palus).
132 - fix minor memory leaks in urxvt and urxvtd.
133 - fix regression in urxvtd that prevented options from being correctly
134 set (reported by Michal Vaner).
135 - implement xterm's horribly broken 1005 mouse reporting mode,
136 and an alternative 1015 mode that works in non-utf-8 locales
137 and has fewer limitations.
138 - fix a possible bug where mouse notifications didn't work after
139 startup for the upper left corner.
140 - implement our own pixbuf to pixmap rendering to get rid of
141 dependency on buggy gdk-pixbuf-xlib. Only truecolor visuals
142 are supported (Emanuele Giaquinta).
143 - apply tinting before shading when both operations are requested.
144 Previously they were intermixed when lightening and the result
145 was inaccurate and confusing. Note that now a black tint yields a
146 completely black image, regardless of shading (Emanuele Giaquinta).
147 - avoid spurious redraws of the bg image when bg is transparent or
148 when using 'root' mode (Emanuele Giaquinta).
149 - fix build on XFree86.
150 - dynamically number options according to compiletime requirements.
151 For the extra saved byte. Or so. Yay.
152 - start options at one, not zero. Wastes a bit per terminal. Maybe.
153 saves 50 instruction bytes. Possibly.
154
1559.09 Sat Nov 13 01:39:07 CET 2010
156 - NOTICE: this release updates terminfo/termcap.
157 - the bestest release ever.
158 - it was verified that urxvt handles µ and μ correctly.
159 - add support for blending and blurring with XRender (Emanuele Giaquinta).
160 - add support for using gdk-pixbuf as image backend (Emanuele Giaquinta).
161 - cleanup and minor fixes of the image code (Emanuele Giaquinta).
162 - new perl extension "confirm-paste" (Emanuele Giaquinta).
163 - new on_tt_paste perl hook and tt_paste perl binding (Emanuele Giaquinta).
164 - new on_bell perl hook (Emanuele Giaquinta).
165 - searchable-scrollback no longer ignores the first line
166 (Emanuele Giaquinta).
167 - properly set VSTATUS in termios for *BSD (reported by Ed Schouten).
168 - fix utmpx detection on upcoming FreeBSD 9.
169 - Use COMPOUND_TEXT encoding for WM_NAME/WM_ICON_NAME value when it
170 is not fully convertible to STRING (patch by James Cloos).
171 - fix a buffer overflow that would cause wrong key sequences to
172 be generated for numpad keys (introduced in 9.05).
173 - fix definition of sgr0 to work around limitations in luit.
174 - extend ISO 14755 5.4 mode to also print the font name of the
175 characters other than first one in the selected cell
176 (Emanuele Giaquinta).
177 - new iso14755 option to disable ISO 14755 at runtime
178 (Emanuele Giaquinta).
179 - make sure pagewise scrolling scrolls at least one line
180 (found by Mikachu).
181 - remove deprecated OSC 18 / 19 and make OSC 17 / 19 apply to
182 highlightColor / highlightTextColor (Emanuele Giaquinta).
183 - add highlightTextColor resource to change the foreground colour of
184 highlighted characters (Emanuele Giaquinta).
185 - make highlightColor apply also to selected cells with reverse video
186 but not to non selected cells with reverse video (Emanuele Giaquinta).
187 - remove colorRV resource (it was enabled only with frills off).
188 - fix numlock handling, the most longstanding bug to date (Emanuele Giaquinta).
189 - reduce the number of custom bits to 4, to make room
190 for 256 colours.
191 - add support for 256 colors (Emanuele Giaquinta, Marc Lehmann).
192 - add rxvt-unicode-256color terminfo and use it by default in 256 colors mode.
193 - update rxvt-unicode terminfo to state 7744 colour pairs to cover all
194 88*88 possible pairs.
195 - actually added macosx-clipboard-native, which should have been in
196 the 9.07 release but had been forgotten.
197 - fix hang if DECAWM is not set and there are not enough columns to insert a
198 character (Emanuele Giaquinta).
199 - cub1 ("backspace") will now respect wrapping when past the rightmost column,
200 working around a shortcoming of most tty line discipline's line editing.
201 - add support for grabbing the clipboard selection and extend
202 selection{_clear,_grab,} perl bindings to optionally work
203 on the clipboard selection (based on patch by Dana Jansens).
204 - no longer force CERASE to BACKSPACE - use the system default. affects
205 default value for VERASE only when no compatible setting for
206 backspacekey was given.
207 - use higher than 38400 baudrate setting, if detected.
208 - erase screen would clear to the wrong background when blinking
209 was enabled (which selects high intensity under some circumstances).
210 - scr_kill_char didn't touch the line.
211 - upgrade and port to libev-4.01.
212 - enabled solaris event ports and kqueue backends (if available).
213
2149.07 Wed Dec 30 07:07:18 CET 2009
215 - port to glibc-2.10 changes (strchr etc. returning const char *
216 in C++), based on patches by Milos Jakubicek and Oliver Mader.
217 - the binary search algorithm to find precomposed characters
218 was faulty, skipping some possible combinations (found by
219 Mikachu).
220 - new -letterspace option, patch by Mark H. Wilkinson.
221 - enable --mlock option for urxvt with frills on
222 systems supporting it (patch by Russell Harmon).
223 - urxvt did not compile without frills enabled
224 (analysed by Matthew Rosewarne).
225 - correctly reset the mbstate after an illegal
226 input sequence when handling terminal output (Emanuele Giaquinta).
227 - avoid redrawing wide characters with combining enabled on every
228 refresh (reported by Mikachu).
229 - fix a typo preventing the ISO-646.1991 character set from being
230 recognized (http://achurch.org/patch-pile/).
231 - better warning for x11 font encoding detection failures, also,
232 try to deduce encoding from both font properties and name
233 (adapted from http://achurch.org/patch-pile/).
234 - resizing the window with the scrollbar disabled via the escapes
235 sequence could make the window bigger again (Mikachu).
236 - make sure the alignment for fd passing control messages
237 is correct and work around some NetBSD issues (Taylor R Campbell).
238 - update to libptytty 1.3.
239 - replace macosx-clipboard by a nicer version by Reza Jelveh, and move
240 the old version to macosx-clipboard-native.
241 - document the -uc option (Emanuele Giaquinta).
242 - assertions in libev are now enabled depending on frills.
243 - update AnyEvent implementation to version 5.23 API.
244 - work around arrogant bsd idiocies again: netbsd spills the default
245 namespace with lots of symbols "for gnu/gcc compatibility" even
246 though neither of them does it, and then calls the rest of the world
247 in need of fixing. go figure.
248 - on_keyboard_command is on_user_command (patch by Michael Witten).
249 - setting the selection from perl will now reset the selection screen
250 to the current screen. the screen can be manipulated using
251 the new ->selection_screen method.
252 - implement --enable-assert configure option and get rid of DEBUG_STRICT
253 (based on patch by Emanuele Giaquinta).
254 - fix printpipe data output (patch by Emanuele Giaquinta).
255 - allow `xxx' quoting style for perl selection.
256 - upgrade to libev-3.9 prerelease.
257 - updated compose tables to unicode 5.2.0.
258
2599.06 Sat Nov 8 17:47:18 CET 2008
260 - NOTICE: this release updates terminfo/termcap.
261 - updates libev to 3.48.
262 - the aterm code now frees the as visual and image manager objects
263 when a window was closed.
264 - do not (wrongly) adjust the virtual line length inside
265 scr_insdel_chars/ERASE (Miroslav Lichvar).
266 - fix an issue where wide tab characters caused character shifts
267 when part of them was deleted (tracked down by Miroslav Lichvar).
268 - artificially enlargen the previous character at the end of a line
269 when trying to output a character that doesn't fit. looks ugly, but
270 makes copy&paste work.
271 - remove bogus "setuid/setgid security issues" from rxvt.1.pod, they
272 no longer apply.
273 - the urgency hint is now cleared on both focus in and focus out.
274 - cache urgency hint locally to avoid server rtt on every focus change.
275 - perl 5.10 needs PERL_SYS_INIT3 on hppa.
276 - ignore byte-order marks and do not treat them like combining characters.
277 - fix build issue when CURSOR_BLINK is not defined (Emanuele Giaquinta).
278 - do some µ-optimisations to the character fast path.
279 - use a less cunning, but more robust algorithm to avoid one terminal
280 monopolising the whole process by outputting a lot of text.
281 - try to work around linux first breaking sched_yield and now breaking
282 the only known workaround.
283 - new option -icon to set _NET_WM_ICON (based on patch by Frank Schmitt).
284 - initialise the as visual only on demand, instead of unconditionally,
285 to save memory in the common case of not using visual gimmicks.
286 - try to work around bugs in a few wm's that erroneously resize
287 client windows on hint property updates by temporarily
288 disabling size hints.
289 - implement the DECSTR soft reset sequence and use it for tput init,
290 and make hard RIS and DECSTR both reset more private modes, such
291 as mouse reporting.
292 - redundantly clear mouse reporting and a few other states in
293 tput init/tput reset, for older urxvts.
294 - partial/full clear screens did cause flickering and possibly pixel
295 droppings when urxvt viewed the scrollback buffer.
296 - use current rendition style in DCH sequence.
297 - the 132/80 mode switch no longer forces a screen reset.
298 - add an osc sequence to change the border colour (Emanuele Giaquinta).
299 - new perl extension "overlay-osc", for status displays and the like.
300 - fix some minor cursor drawing issues with overlays by allowing
301 overlays to modify screen flags (to disable the cursor themselves).
302 - work around programs not restoring rstyle before rmcup
303 (analysed by Miroslav Lichvar).
304
3059.05 Sun Jun 15 20:09:20 CEST 2008
306 - new option --cd/chdir to set the starting working directory.
307 - tabbed extension now starts in the "correct" working directory.
308 - work around fedora 9 providing isastream but not the relevant
309 header file for it (report by Tuncer Ayaz).
310 - upgrade libev, fixing a bug in the select backend.
311 with more than 31 file descriptors on non-linux 64 bit systems.
312 - correctly reset the multibyte state to the initial one
313 after EILSEQ (patch by Neil Booth). This fixes the
314 issue of rxvt-unicode not properly displaying text after an illegal
315 sequence on NetBSD and probably other systems.
316 - more intelligent property handling with -pe tabbed, works around
317 broken window managers (kwm et al.), saves bandwidth and should
318 help working window managers as well.
319 - made tabs moveable (based on a patch by Petr Machata).
320 - implement ESC [ 3 K as a more rational alternative to ESC [ 0 K.
321 - support relative paths for RXVT_SOCKET in urxvtd.
322 - the tabbed extension now blindly copies over all (rxvt-) resources
323 from the toplevel window to the children.
324 - better diagnostic on 0x0 window geometries.
325 - update AnyEvent API to version 3.4 and above.
326 - document the default value of :0 for DISPLAY.
327 - rename perl method XChangeWindowProperty to XChangeProperty.
328
3299.02 Tue Jan 29 11:58:36 CET 2008
330 - the "exg makes everybody happy" release.
331 - fix build with !xft.
332 - always compile in plain style scrollbar (simplifies code and looks great).
333
3349.01 Sat Jan 26 20:49:27 CET 2008
335 - be more aggressive about handling X events, this seems to be required
336 with newer xlibs (should fix the "screen stays black until event is
337 received" problem, again :)
338 - add buffered resource to control xft double-buffering.
339
3409.0 Fri Jan 25 19:34:04 CET 2008
341 - fix a crash bug where urxvtd would crash when urxvtc was called
342 with wrong arguments (I wish debian maintainers in general would
343 report bugs and their proposed fixes to the original package maintainers
344 instead of sitting on them for good measure to see if anybody notices).
345 - drawing xft compose characters was causing garbage to be drawn.
346 - correctly clear xft character background in all cases.
347 - implement bracketed paste mode (xterm private mode 2004).
348 - improve documentation on alpha channel handling, make urxvt
349 work better on servers lacking the RENDER extension when alpha
350 channels or background images are used.
351 - check for refresh after initialising to avoid staying blank
352 till the first event arrives. or so.
353 - the FORCE_UNBUFFERED_XFT feature macro works again.
354 - continuously update transparency while moving/resizing now.
355 - OSC 39/49 are deprecated and aliased to OSC 10/11.
356 - cub1 now acts as advertised (and ignores the "wrapped" state).
357 - the 132/80 mode switch now forces a height of 24, too, and
358 resets the terminal.
359 - scrollbar code cleanups.
360 - stopping children is no longer confused with children exiting.
361 - removed (undocumented) #aarrggbb format.
362 - updated to libev 3.0.
363
3648.9 Mon Dec 24 07:51:40 CET 2007
365 - fix the issue where urxvtd would not immediately close a window
366 when the command exited but only on the next X event.
367 - changed terminfo file not to use application keypad mode.
368 - fix the issue where making a selection in one urxvtd window
369 would not clear it visually in another.
370 - fix an issue of urxvt not getting background pixmap updates
371 and flickering after bg pixmap changes (reported by Mikachu).
372 - fix redraw bug in xterm scrollbar with -sr (reported by Mikachu).
373 - correctly provide dependencies for libev (µikachu).
374 - minor code reorganisations and cleanups.
375 - be more robust in case the urxvt-popup extension cannot be loaded.
376
3778.8 Sat Dec 15 19:40:39 CET 2007
378 - option -C was aliased to all unsupported options, activating
379 options that shouldn't be compiled in, leading to interesting
380 effects.
381 - updated libev, working around a bug in linux 2.4, curing the
382 symptom of urxvt not closing its window on shell exit. also
383 fixes a problem with urxvt not refreshing.
384 - the text blink callback was called even when no blinking
385 text was visible.
386 - pre-8.4 slipwheeling behaviour has been reinstated, with
387 some minor improvements.
388 - streamlined x events processing to only flush once per
389 display and not once per terminal window.
390 - quite a bit of minor code cleanups and codesize optimisations.
391
3928.7 Sun Nov 25 10:23:49 CET 2007
393 - update libev with an important bugfix that would cause crashes
394 when closing windows (when using rxvtd, and update is recommended).
395 - do not compile in the block builtin graphics with --disable-frills.
396
3978.6 Fri Nov 23 14:10:57 CET 2007
398 - upgrade libev to disable kqueue on anything but netbsd as it
399 seems to be broken everywhere else w.r.t. ptys.
400 - allow for spurious event notifications, as at least epoll and
401 especially solaris ports like to lie about them (symptoms:
402 urxvt "hangs" until there is some x11 related activity).
403 - -keysym command line options are now subjected to xlib parsing.
404 - add 'xrm' option analogous to Xt one.
405
4068.5a Wed Nov 21 10:16:33 CET 2007
407 - make it compile with --disable-transparency.
408
4098.5 Wed Nov 21 05:19:20 CET 2007
410 - expect major portability issues in this release: please test and report.
411 - converted from the veritable io manager event loop to
412 the high performance libev (http://software.schmorp.de/pkg/libev).
