36 - fix build when perl is enabled and fading is disabled.
37 - fix bug that prevented urxvtd from writing utmp entries when
38 using --fork (reported by Ryan Kavanagh).
39 - fix regression that broke continuous scrolling when pressing
40 and holding the scrollbar up or down button, gentoo bug #493992.
41
429.19 Sun Oct 27 17:16:07 CET 2013
43 - work around perl 5.18.0 breakage in tabbed extension
44 (reported by Karol Blazewicz) and in pod (Dominic Hargreaves).
45 - fix regression that caused the double-click word selection to
46 erroneously include a tab on the left of the selected word.
47 - implement FOCUS variable and focus_fade function in background
48 expression, to allow focus-sensitive background images.
49 - add support for the set cursor style (DECSCUSR) control
50 function.
51 - honour cursorColor also when the cursor style is underline.
52 - export some Color_xxx constants to Perl.
53
549.18 Sun Mar 24 15:33:35 CET 2013
55 - fix regression that caused artifacts on resize.
56
579.17 Fri Mar 1 13:46:08 CET 2013
58 - add shade operator in background perl extension.
59 - avoid starting or ending the selection in the middle of wide
60 characters to avoid artifacts (reported by Tiago Resende).
61 - fix artifacts that may occur if the character in the cursor
62 cell has width > 1 (reported by Tiago Resende).
63 - fix regression that causes artifacts on scrolling if
64 saveLines is 0 and the window is resized (reported by Bert
65 Münnich).
66 - fix build when perl is enabled and pixbuf and transparency
67 are disabled.
68
699.16 Thu Dec 27 11:56:43 CET 2012
70 - the "so much new stuff your eyes will pop out" release.
71 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: renamed urlLauncher resource to url-launcher.
72 - fix processing of DEC private mode save sequences (patch by Patrick
73 Hemmer).
74 - perl extensions now have their own manpages, installed as urxvt-NAME(1),
75 e.g. urxvt-background(1) - see urxvt-extensions(1) for a list.
76 - fix disabling of cursor blink with the option-popup menu (based on a
77 patch by Jan Larres).
78 - the font height is not augmented anymore when lineSpace is non zero.
79 - fix "new pagemap" vs. "delete pagemap" mismatch ([] vs. non-[]),
80 as diagnosed by clang.
81 - fix height mismatch between active and inactive cursor when
82 lineSpace is non zero (patch by Stanislav Seletskiy).
83 - make it compile with LOCAL_X_IS_UNIX again (reported by
84 nickfailure@gmail.com).
85 - completely redone background pixmap support - users can now
86 specify arbitrary expressions (And programs) that calculate
87 new terminal backgrounds. see the urxvt-background manpage
88 for details.
89 - xrender is now required for background pixmap support.
90 - perl extensions can now provide commandline switches and resources
91 which show up in -help etc.
92 - iso14755 51 mode window now displays row and column.
93 - implement a -visual switch and move that and -depth to frills, also
94 warn when we can't get the requested visual.
95 - new env variable: RXVT_PERL_LIB.
96 - allocate all screen memory in one go and let the virtual memory
97 subsystem sort it out. this simplifies code, improves access
98 locality, saves a bit of ram and makes things a bit faster, too.
99 - remove support for libafterimage.
100 - update to CVS version of libev, for a whopping 11kb size decrease.
101 - do not ship yet another copy of ecb.h, use the one in libev or
102 libptytty instead.
103 - selectively mark some methods as cache-hot/cache cold, which
104 might speed up execution but definitely decreases codesize.
105 - Fix regression that prevented the scrollbar trough color
106 from being applied (reported by Derek B. Noonburg).
107 - Fix the scrollbar size for rxvt style (patch by Mark Robinson).
108
1099.15 Sat Jan 21 13:36:56 CET 2012
110 - remove "using namespace std" because clang erroneously
111 thinks thats an error.
112 - finding a matching font (e.g. bold version of the base font)
113 was broken (reported by Eamon Walker).
114 - fix parsing of bg image styles. They really work now.
115 - fix blurring of bg image borders when using xrender.
116 - fix xrender blur on common xrender implementations that do
117 not behave correctly when the same pixmap is used as source
118 and destination in composite operations.
119 - fix regression that caused tabbed to compute the wrong size
120 for tabs.
121 - allow again an empty suffix in a keysym list spec (patch by
122 Sung Pae).
123 - unsupported support for sun studio's CC added.
124 - fix -C option on solaris.
125
1269.14 Wed Dec 21 18:40:33 CET 2011
127 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: the urxvtd default socket path is now
128 $HOME/.urxvt/urxvtd-<nodename>.
129 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: the "list" keysym expansion now requires
130 loading of the "keysym-list" perl extension.
131 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: A scale value of 0 in the bg image
132 geometry no longer enables tiling, so as to make it possible
133 to disable both scaling and tiling.
134 - overhaul of the bg image operations. The old operations have
135 been deprecated in favour of elementary operations and
136 styles built on top of the new operations and scale/position
137 settings. (Emanuele Giaquinta).
138 - support for libafterimage is deprecated and will be removed
139 in the next release.
140 - fix a crash caused by selection_check not properly resetting
141 out-of-bounds mark values (can happen when extending a selection
142 while scrolling up in curses programs for example).
143 - do not move the selection when scrolling up and the selection is
144 outside the scrolling region (Emanuele Giaquinta).
145 - fix display of bold bright black (reported by Ben Winslow).
146 - fix memory leak when urgentOnBell is set (patch by Nathaniel
147 Filardo).
148 - fix a redraw bug that occurs when a bg pixmap is set and the
149 wm does not honour the size hints set by urxvt. Now urxvt
150 forces the size of the terminal window to be a multiple of
151 the cell size.
152 - sanitise the argument of SD / SU sequences. Fixes a possible
153 crash when the argument is big enough, red hat bug #711137
154 (Emanuele Giaquinta).
155 - correctly split long lines when scrolling.
156 - urxvt now looks for perl extensions also in $HOME/.urxvt/ext.
157 - add bell-command perl extension to execute a command when a
158 bell event occurs (Ryan Kavanagh).
159 - add set_urgency perl binding to set/reset the urgency hint.
160 - consume button release event in matcher (exg).
161 - keyboard accessible list of recent matches in matcher
162 (Bob Farrell).
163 - properly process 'keysym' sequences in tabbed when using
164 'focus follows mouse' and the focus is on the main window
165 but not on the active terminal window (patch by Martin
166 Pohlack).
167 - support for the freedesktop startup-notification protocol (patch by
168 Michael Stapelberg).
169 - the direction of VPR and VPB commands was reversed.
170 - fix alignment of inherited root pixmap when it is a different size
171 than the root window and the terminal window is off the left or top
172 edge (Mikachu).
173 - make $self visible in "eval perl expression" popup action, also
174 handle exceptions better.
175 - fix parsing of '-e' when it occurs as an option argument, such as in
176 'urxvt -title -e' (Emanuele Giaquinta).
177
1789.12 Wed Jun 29 14:34:28 CEST 2011
179 - fix regression in processing of SelectionNotify events.
180 urxvt would fail to request a selection if the owner did not
181 support the UTF8_STRING target.
182 - fix rendering of double width chars in certain circumstances, more
183 likely to happen if urxvt is compiled with 256 colors support as
184 urxvt runs out of fonts much earlier then. Fixes gentoo bug #358151
185 (Emanuele Giaquinta).
186 - restore support for 'list' syntax in keysym resources (requested by Sung Pae).
187 - always premultiply colour values - while this increases differences between
188 core fonts and xft, it is "more correct" in practical situations.
189 - disable PTYTTY_REENTRANT option - not needed for urxvt and saves a bit of code.
190 - remove lucidatypewriter from the list of fallback fonts, it was the only
191 non-xft non-cellfont in the list anyway.
192
1939.11 Mon May 2 10:34:46 CEST 2011
194 - fix compilation on GNU/Hurd, debian bug #624736.
195 - remove 'list' syntax for keysym resources, as it serves no useful purpose.
196 If you need it, poke us and provide a use case.
197 - fix alpha channel support. Premultiply alpha in colours if the visual
198 supports an alpha channel, as xrender expects premultiplied alpha
199 (Emanuele Giaquinta).
200 - fix reply to a selection request sent by an obsolete client
201 such as syncterm (patch by Marcin Cieslak).
202 - fix crash when the window is resized and the overlay is active
203 (Emanuele Giaquinta, reported by Ryan Kavanagh).
204 - match character-wise rather than byte-wise in selection
205 extension again. perl 5.8.9+ is required to avoid extreme
206 slowdowns. Fixes debian bugs #523072, #616463.
207 - fix a possible crash if the INCR transfer process for a
208 selection property timeouts and at least one chunk is
209 received. (Emanuele Giaquinta)
210 - work around a memory corruption bug in xorg's XrmSetDatabase (apparently
211 broken since http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/xorg-commit-diffs/2004-March/000239.html).
212 - fix memory corruption bug when custom command sequences bound to keys
213 were injected into an already-full pty input buffer.
214 - gdk-pixbuf is autodetected by default and preferred over libafterimage.
215 - do not prepend a newline to the selection text when the starting line
216 of the selection is not highlighted (Emanuele Giaquinta).
217 - don't swap perl env with real env, save and restore it, just in case
218 we ever get recursive perl invocations. also saves a bit of codespace
219 with gcc.
220 - fix various memory leaks (Emanuele Giaquinta).
221 - fix typo in kIC terminfo capability, debian bug #446444.
222 - document 'thickness' resource.
223 - fix debian bug #504817, to the extent possible.
224 - try to detect byte order at compile time, saves a couple of
225 hundred bytes, if your compiler is smart enough.
226 - add support for previewing the pasted data in confirm-paste
227 (Emanuele Giaquinta).
228 - added "newlines to spaces" option in selection-popup.
229 - actually enabled solaris event ports backend (was disabled by accident).
230 - revert to 38400 baud max., mission accomplished.
231 - no longer create scary "pty_fill: PLEASE REPORT" message, instead,
232 silently drain the input (problem is well understood now).
233 - no longer swallow rob nation's own graphics mode commands.
234
2359.10 Mon Dec 13 17:43:52 CET 2010
236 - the "schmorp=north korea dickey=south korea" release.
237 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: make OSC 20 simpler and more correct
238 (Emanuele Giaquinta).
239 - if options were compiled out, this could lead to the option
240 count to be defined wrongly. This is likely behind the
241 failures with gcc 4.5.
242 - explicitly depend on fontconfig and xrender when xft support
243 is enabled. Although the public Xft api uses types from
244 both, in Xft 2.2.0 these libs are private
245 dependencies only thanks to an idiotic behaviour of
246 pkg-config that was added to workaround cases like this one.
247 Fixes linking when using GNU ld with --as-needed or GNU gold
248 (based on patch by Jan Palus).
249 - fix minor memory leaks in urxvt and urxvtd.
250 - fix regression in urxvtd that prevented options from being correctly
251 set (reported by Michal Vaner).
252 - implement xterm's horribly broken 1005 mouse reporting mode,
253 and an alternative 1015 mode that works in non-utf-8 locales
254 and has fewer limitations.
255 - fix a possible bug where mouse notifications didn't work after
256 startup for the upper left corner.
257 - implement our own pixbuf to pixmap rendering to get rid of
258 dependency on buggy gdk-pixbuf-xlib. Only truecolor visuals
259 are supported (Emanuele Giaquinta).
260 - apply tinting before shading when both operations are requested.
261 Previously they were intermixed when lightening and the result
262 was inaccurate and confusing. Note that now a black tint yields a
263 completely black image, regardless of shading (Emanuele Giaquinta).
264 - avoid spurious redraws of the bg image when bg is transparent or
265 when using 'root' mode (Emanuele Giaquinta).
266 - fix build on XFree86.
267 - dynamically number options according to compiletime requirements.
268 For the extra saved byte. Or so. Yay.
269 - start options at one, not zero. Wastes a bit per terminal. Maybe.
270 saves 50 instruction bytes. Possibly.
271
2729.09 Sat Nov 13 01:39:07 CET 2010
273 - NOTICE: this release updates terminfo/termcap.
274 - the bestest release ever.
275 - it was verified that urxvt handles µ and μ correctly.
276 - add support for blending and blurring with XRender (Emanuele Giaquinta).
277 - add support for using gdk-pixbuf as image backend (Emanuele Giaquinta).
278 - cleanup and minor fixes of the image code (Emanuele Giaquinta).
279 - new perl extension "confirm-paste" (Emanuele Giaquinta).
280 - new on_tt_paste perl hook and tt_paste perl binding (Emanuele Giaquinta).
281 - new on_bell perl hook (Emanuele Giaquinta).
282 - searchable-scrollback no longer ignores the first line
283 (Emanuele Giaquinta).
284 - properly set VSTATUS in termios for *BSD (reported by Ed Schouten).
285 - fix utmpx detection on upcoming FreeBSD 9.
286 - Use COMPOUND_TEXT encoding for WM_NAME/WM_ICON_NAME value when it
287 is not fully convertible to STRING (patch by James Cloos).
288 - fix a buffer overflow that would cause wrong key sequences to
289 be generated for numpad keys (introduced in 9.05).
290 - fix definition of sgr0 to work around limitations in luit.
291 - extend ISO 14755 5.4 mode to also print the font name of the
292 characters other than first one in the selected cell
293 (Emanuele Giaquinta).
294 - new iso14755 option to disable ISO 14755 at runtime
295 (Emanuele Giaquinta).
296 - make sure pagewise scrolling scrolls at least one line
297 (found by Mikachu).
298 - remove deprecated OSC 18 / 19 and make OSC 17 / 19 apply to
299 highlightColor / highlightTextColor (Emanuele Giaquinta).
300 - add highlightTextColor resource to change the foreground colour of
301 highlighted characters (Emanuele Giaquinta).
302 - make highlightColor apply also to selected cells with reverse video
303 but not to non selected cells with reverse video (Emanuele Giaquinta).
304 - remove colorRV resource (it was enabled only with frills off).
305 - fix numlock handling, the most longstanding bug to date (Emanuele Giaquinta).
306 - reduce the number of custom bits to 4, to make room
307 for 256 colours.
308 - add support for 256 colors (Emanuele Giaquinta, Marc Lehmann).
309 - add rxvt-unicode-256color terminfo and use it by default in 256 colors mode.
310 - update rxvt-unicode terminfo to state 7744 colour pairs to cover all
311 88*88 possible pairs.
312 - actually added macosx-clipboard-native, which should have been in
313 the 9.07 release but had been forgotten.
314 - fix hang if DECAWM is not set and there are not enough columns to insert a
315 character (Emanuele Giaquinta).
316 - cub1 ("backspace") will now respect wrapping when past the rightmost column,
317 working around a shortcoming of most tty line discipline's line editing.
318 - add support for grabbing the clipboard selection and extend
319 selection{_clear,_grab,} perl bindings to optionally work
320 on the clipboard selection (based on patch by Dana Jansens).
321 - no longer force CERASE to BACKSPACE - use the system default. affects
322 default value for VERASE only when no compatible setting for
323 backspacekey was given.
324 - use higher than 38400 baudrate setting, if detected.
325 - erase screen would clear to the wrong background when blinking
326 was enabled (which selects high intensity under some circumstances).
327 - scr_kill_char didn't touch the line.
328 - upgrade and port to libev-4.01.
329 - enabled solaris event ports and kqueue backends (if available).
330
3319.07 Wed Dec 30 07:07:18 CET 2009
332 - port to glibc-2.10 changes (strchr etc. returning const char *
333 in C++), based on patches by Milos Jakubicek and Oliver Mader.
334 - the binary search algorithm to find precomposed characters
335 was faulty, skipping some possible combinations (found by
336 Mikachu).
337 - new -letterspace option, patch by Mark H. Wilkinson.
338 - enable --mlock option for urxvt with frills on
339 systems supporting it (patch by Russell Harmon).
340 - urxvt did not compile without frills enabled
341 (analysed by Matthew Rosewarne).
342 - correctly reset the mbstate after an illegal
343 input sequence when handling terminal output (Emanuele Giaquinta).
344 - avoid redrawing wide characters with combining enabled on every
345 refresh (reported by Mikachu).
346 - fix a typo preventing the ISO-646.1991 character set from being
347 recognized (http://achurch.org/patch-pile/).
348 - better warning for x11 font encoding detection failures, also,
349 try to deduce encoding from both font properties and name
350 (adapted from http://achurch.org/patch-pile/).
351 - resizing the window with the scrollbar disabled via the escapes
352 sequence could make the window bigger again (Mikachu).
353 - make sure the alignment for fd passing control messages
354 is correct and work around some NetBSD issues (Taylor R Campbell).
355 - update to libptytty 1.3.
356 - replace macosx-clipboard by a nicer version by Reza Jelveh, and move
357 the old version to macosx-clipboard-native.
358 - document the -uc option (Emanuele Giaquinta).
359 - assertions in libev are now enabled depending on frills.
360 - update AnyEvent implementation to version 5.23 API.
361 - work around arrogant bsd idiocies again: netbsd spills the default
362 namespace with lots of symbols "for gnu/gcc compatibility" even
363 though neither of them does it, and then calls the rest of the world
364 in need of fixing. go figure.
365 - on_keyboard_command is on_user_command (patch by Michael Witten).
366 - setting the selection from perl will now reset the selection screen
367 to the current screen. the screen can be manipulated using
368 the new ->selection_screen method.
369 - implement --enable-assert configure option and get rid of DEBUG_STRICT
370 (based on patch by Emanuele Giaquinta).

372 - allow `xxx' quoting style for perl selection.
373 - upgrade to libev-3.9 prerelease.
374 - updated compose tables to unicode 5.2.0.
375
3769.06 Sat Nov 8 17:47:18 CET 2008
377 - NOTICE: this release updates terminfo/termcap.
378 - updates libev to 3.48.
379 - the aterm code now frees the as visual and image manager objects
380 when a window was closed.
381 - do not (wrongly) adjust the virtual line length inside
382 scr_insdel_chars/ERASE (Miroslav Lichvar).
383 - fix an issue where wide tab characters caused character shifts
384 when part of them was deleted (tracked down by Miroslav Lichvar).
385 - artificially enlargen the previous character at the end of a line
386 when trying to output a character that doesn't fit. looks ugly, but
387 makes copy&paste work.
388 - remove bogus "setuid/setgid security issues" from rxvt.1.pod, they
389 no longer apply.
390 - the urgency hint is now cleared on both focus in and focus out.
391 - cache urgency hint locally to avoid server rtt on every focus change.
392 - perl 5.10 needs PERL_SYS_INIT3 on hppa.
393 - ignore byte-order marks and do not treat them like combining characters.
394 - fix build issue when CURSOR_BLINK is not defined (Emanuele Giaquinta).
395 - do some µ-optimisations to the character fast path.
396 - use a less cunning, but more robust algorithm to avoid one terminal
397 monopolising the whole process by outputting a lot of text.
398 - try to work around linux first breaking sched_yield and now breaking
399 the only known workaround.
400 - new option -icon to set _NET_WM_ICON (based on patch by Frank Schmitt).
401 - initialise the as visual only on demand, instead of unconditionally,
402 to save memory in the common case of not using visual gimmicks.
403 - try to work around bugs in a few wm's that erroneously resize
404 client windows on hint property updates by temporarily
405 disabling size hints.
406 - implement the DECSTR soft reset sequence and use it for tput init,
407 and make hard RIS and DECSTR both reset more private modes, such
408 as mouse reporting.
409 - redundantly clear mouse reporting and a few other states in
410 tput init/tput reset, for older urxvts.
411 - partial/full clear screens did cause flickering and possibly pixel
412 droppings when urxvt viewed the scrollback buffer.
413 - use current rendition style in DCH sequence.
414 - the 132/80 mode switch no longer forces a screen reset.
415 - add an osc sequence to change the border colour (Emanuele Giaquinta).
416 - new perl extension "overlay-osc", for status displays and the like.
417 - fix some minor cursor drawing issues with overlays by allowing
418 overlays to modify screen flags (to disable the cursor themselves).
419 - work around programs not restoring rstyle before rmcup
420 (analysed by Miroslav Lichvar).
421
4229.05 Sun Jun 15 20:09:20 CEST 2008

428 with more than 31 file descriptors on non-linux 64 bit systems.
429 - correctly reset the multibyte state to the initial one

432 sequence on NetBSD and probably other systems.
433 - more intelligent property handling with -pe tabbed, works around
434 broken window managers (kwm et al.), saves bandwidth and should
435 help working window managers as well.

448 - fix build with !xft.
449 - always compile in plain style scrollbar (simplifies code and looks great).
450
4519.01 Sat Jan 26 20:49:27 CET 2008
452 - be more aggressive about handling X events, this seems to be required
453 with newer xlibs (should fix the "screen stays black until event is
454 received" problem, again :)

456
4579.0 Fri Jan 25 19:34:04 CET 2008
458 - fix a crash bug where urxvtd would crash when urxvtc was called
459 with wrong arguments (I wish debian maintainers in general would
460 report bugs and their proposed fixes to the original package maintainers
461 instead of sitting on them for good measure to see if anybody notices).
462 - drawing xft compose characters was causing garbage to be drawn.
463 - correctly clear xft character background in all cases.
464 - implement bracketed paste mode (xterm private mode 2004).
465 - improve documentation on alpha channel handling, make urxvt
466 work better on servers lacking the RENDER extension when alpha
467 channels or background images are used.
468 - check for refresh after initialising to avoid staying blank
469 till the first event arrives. or so.
470 - the FORCE_UNBUFFERED_XFT feature macro works again.
471 - continuously update transparency while moving/resizing now.
472 - OSC 39/49 are deprecated and aliased to OSC 10/11.
473 - cub1 now acts as advertised (and ignores the "wrapped" state).
474 - the 132/80 mode switch now forces a height of 24, too, and
475 resets the terminal.
476 - scrollbar code cleanups.
477 - stopping children is no longer confused with children exiting.
478 - removed (undocumented) #aarrggbb format.
479 - updated to libev 3.0.
480
4818.9 Mon Dec 24 07:51:40 CET 2007
482 - fix the issue where urxvtd would not immediately close a window
483 when the command exited but only on the next X event.
484 - changed terminfo file not to use application keypad mode.
485 - fix the issue where making a selection in one urxvtd window
486 would not clear it visually in another.
487 - fix an issue of urxvt not getting background pixmap updates
488 and flickering after bg pixmap changes (reported by Mikachu).
489 - fix redraw bug in xterm scrollbar with -sr (reported by Mikachu).
490 - correctly provide dependencies for libev (µikachu).
491 - minor code reorganisations and cleanups.
492 - be more robust in case the urxvt-popup extension cannot be loaded.
493
4948.8 Sat Dec 15 19:40:39 CET 2007
495 - option -C was aliased to all unsupported options, activating
496 options that shouldn't be compiled in, leading to interesting
497 effects.
498 - updated libev, working around a bug in linux 2.4, curing the
499 symptom of urxvt not closing its window on shell exit. also
500 fixes a problem with urxvt not refreshing.
501 - the text blink callback was called even when no blinking
502 text was visible.
503 - pre-8.4 slipwheeling behaviour has been reinstated, with
504 some minor improvements.
505 - streamlined x events processing to only flush once per
506 display and not once per terminal window.
507 - quite a bit of minor code cleanups and codesize optimisations.
508
5098.7 Sun Nov 25 10:23:49 CET 2007
510 - update libev with an important bugfix that would cause crashes
511 when closing windows (when using rxvtd, and update is recommended).
512 - do not compile in the block builtin graphics with --disable-frills.
513
5148.6 Fri Nov 23 14:10:57 CET 2007
515 - upgrade libev to disable kqueue on anything but netbsd as it
516 seems to be broken everywhere else w.r.t. ptys.
517 - allow for spurious event notifications, as at least epoll and
518 especially solaris ports like to lie about them (symptoms:
519 urxvt "hangs" until there is some x11 related activity).
520 - -keysym command line options are now subjected to xlib parsing.
521 - add 'xrm' option analogous to Xt one.

531 - fix memory leak in pixmap code.
532 - fix a serious bug while setting the XIM destroy callback
533 on (typical) 64 bit systems.
534 - automove-background functionality re-implemented internally using :root op in pixmap
535 geometry string. For example: rxvt -pixmap "image.jpg;:root"
536 - do not link rxvtc against every lib on the planet anymore.
537 - parallel builds should work once more.
538
