51 - add support for 256 colors.
52 - add rxvt-unicode-256color terminfo and use it by default in 256 colors mode.
53 - actually added macosx-clipboard-native, which should have been in
54 the 9.07 release but had been forgotten.
55 - add support for grabbing the clipboard selection and extend
56 selection{_clear,_grab,} perl bindings to optionally work
57 on the clipboard selection (based on patch by Dana Jansens).
58 - no longer force CERASE to DEL - use the system default. affects
59 default value for VERASE only when no compatible setting for
60 backspacekey was given.
61 - use higher than 38400 baudrate setting, if detected.

65
669.07 Wed Dec 30 07:07:18 CET 2009
67 - port to glibc-2.10 changes (strchr etc. returning const char *
68 in C++), based on patches by Milos Jakubicek and Oliver Mader.
69 - the binary search algorithm to find precomposed characters
70 was faulty, skipping some possible combinations (found by
71 Mikachu).
72 - new -letterspace option, patch by Mark H. Wilkinson.
73 - enable --mlock option for urxvt with frills on
74 systems supporting it (patch by Russell Harmon).
75 - urxvt did not compile without frills enabled
76 (analysed by Matthew Rosewarne).
77 - correctly reset the mbstate after an illegal
78 input sequence when handling terminal output (Emanuele Giaquinta).
79 - avoid redrawing wide characters with combining enabled on every
80 refresh (reported by Mikachu).
81 - fix a typo preventing the ISO-646.1991 character set from being
82 recognized (http://achurch.org/patch-pile/).
83 - better warning for x11 font encoding detection failures, also,
84 try to deduce encoding from both font properties and name
85 (adapted from http://achurch.org/patch-pile/).
86 - resizing the window with the scrollbar disabled via the escapes
87 sequence could make the window bigger again (Mikachu).
88 - make sure the alignment for fd passing control messages
89 is correct and work around some NetBSD issues (Taylor R Campbell).
90 - update to libptytty 1.3.
91 - replace macosx-clipboard by a nicer version by Reza Jelveh, and move
92 the old version to macosx-clipboard-native.
93 - document the -uc option (Emanuele Giaquinta).
94 - assertions in libev are now enabled depending on frills.
95 - update AnyEvent implementation to version 5.23 API.
96 - work around arrogant bsd idiocies again: netbsd spills the default
97 namespace with lots of symbols "for gnu/gcc compatibility" even
98 though neither of them does it, and then calls the rest of the world
99 in need of fixing. go figure.
100 - on_keyboard_command is on_user_command (patch by Michael Witten).
101 - setting the selection from perl will now reset the selection screen
102 to the current screen. the screen can be manipulated using
103 the new ->selection_screen method.
104 - implement --enable-assert configure option and get rid of DEBUG_STRICT
105 (based on patch by Emanuele Giaquinta).

110
1119.06 Sat Nov 8 17:47:18 CET 2008
112 - NOTICE: this release updates terminfo/termcap.
113 - updates libev to 3.48.
114 - the aterm code now frees the as visual and image manager objects
115 when a window was closed.
116 - do not (wrongly) adjust the virtual line length inside
117 scr_insdel_chars/ERASE (Miroslav Lichvar).
118 - fix an issue where wide tab characters caused character shifts
119 when part of them was deleted (tracked down by Miroslav Lichvar).
120 - artificially enlargen the previous character at the end of a line
121 when trying to output a character that doesn't fit. looks ugly, but
122 makes copy&paste work.
123 - remove bogus "setuid/setgid security issues" from rxvt.1.pod, they
124 no longer apply.
125 - the urgency hint is now cleared on both focus in and focus out.
126 - cache urgency hint locally to avoid server rtt on every focus change.
127 - perl 5.10 needs PERL_SYS_INIT3 on hppa.
128 - ignore byte-order marks and do not treat them like combining characters.
129 - fix build issue when CURSOR_BLINK is not defined (Emanuele Giaquinta).
130 - do some µ-optimisations to the character fast path.
131 - use a less cunning, but more robust algorithm to avoid one terminal
132 monopolising the whole process by outputting a lot of text.
133 - try to work around linux first breaking sched_yield and now breaking
134 the only known workaround.
135 - new option -icon to set _NET_WM_ICON (based on patch by Frank Schmitt).
136 - initialise the as visual only on demand, instead of unconditionally,
137 to save memory in the common case of not using visual gimmicks.
138 - try to work around bugs in a few wm's that erroneously resize
139 client windows on hint property updates by temporarily
140 disabling size hints.
141 - implement the DECSTR soft reset sequence and use it for tput init,
142 and make hard RIS and DECSTR both reset more private modes, such
143 as mouse reporting.
144 - redundantly clear mouse reporting and a few other states in
145 tput init/tput reset, for older urxvts.
146 - partial/full clear screens did cause flickering and possibly pixel
147 droppings when urxvt viewed the scrollback buffer.
148 - use current rendition style in DCH sequence.
149 - the 132/80 mode switch no longer forces a screen reset.
150 - add an osc sequence to change the border colour (Emanuele Giaquinta).
151 - new perl extension "overlay-osc", for status displays and the like.
152 - fix some minor cursor drawing issues with overlays by allowing
153 overlays to modify screen flags (to disable the cursor themselves).
154 - work around programs not restoring rstyle before rmcup
155 (analysed by Miroslav Lichvar).
156
1579.05 Sun Jun 15 20:09:20 CEST 2008
158 - new option --cd/chdir to set the starting working directory.
159 - tabbed extension now starts in the "correct" working directory.
160 - work around fedora 9 providing isastream but not the relevant
161 header file for it (report by Tuncer Ayaz).
162 - upgrade libev, fixing a bug in the select backend.
163 with more than 31 file descriptors on non-linux 64 bit systems.
164 - correctly reset the multibyte state to the initial one
165 after EILSEQ (patch by Neil Booth). This fixes the
166 issue of rxvt-unicode not properly displaying text after an illegal
167 sequence on NetBSD and probably other systems.
168 - more intelligent property handling with -pe tabbed, works around
169 broken window managers (kwm et al.), saves bandwidth and should
170 help working window managers as well.
171 - made tabs moveable (based on a patch by Petr Machata).
172 - implement ESC [ 3 K as a more rational alternative to ESC [ 0 K.
173 - support relative paths for RXVT_SOCKET in urxvtd.
174 - the tabbed extension now blindly copies over all (rxvt-) resources
175 from the toplevel window to the children.
176 - better diagnostic on 0x0 window geometries.
177 - update AnyEvent API to version 3.4 and above.
178 - document the default value of :0 for DISPLAY.
179 - rename perl method XChangeWindowProperty to XChangeProperty.
180
1819.02 Tue Jan 29 11:58:36 CET 2008
182 - the "exg makes everybody happy" release.
183 - fix build with !xft.
184 - always compile in plain style scrollbar (simplifies code and looks great).
185
1869.01 Sat Jan 26 20:49:27 CET 2008
187 - be more aggressive about handling X events, this seems to be required
188 with newer xlibs (should fix the "screen stays black until event is
189 received" problem, again :)
190 - add buffered resource to control xft double-buffering.
191
1929.0 Fri Jan 25 19:34:04 CET 2008
193 - fix a crash bug where urxvtd would crash when urxvtc was called
194 with wrong arguments (I wish debian maintainers in general would
195 report bugs and their proposed fixes to the original package maintainers
196 instead of sitting on them for good measure to see if anybody notices).
197 - drawing xft compose characters was causing garbage to be drawn.
198 - correctly clear xft character background in all cases.
199 - implement bracketed paste mode (xterm private mode 2004).
200 - improve documentation on alpha channel handling, make urxvt
201 work better on servers lacking the RENDER extension when alpha
202 channels or background images are used.
203 - check for refresh after initialising to avoid staying blank
204 till the first event arrives. or so.
205 - the FORCE_UNBUFFERED_XFT feature macro works again.
206 - continuously update transparency while moving/resizing now.
207 - OSC 39/49 are deprecated and aliased to OSC 10/11.
208 - cub1 now acts as advertised (and ignores the "wrapped" state).
209 - the 132/80 mode switch now forces a height of 24, too, and
210 resets the terminal.
211 - scrollbar code cleanups.
212 - stopping children is no longer confused with children exiting.
213 - removed (undocumented) #aarrggbb format.
214 - updated to libev 3.0.
215
2168.9 Mon Dec 24 07:51:40 CET 2007
217 - fix the issue where urxvtd would not immediately close a window
218 when the command exited but only on the next X event.
219 - changed terminfo file not to use application keypad mode.
220 - fix the issue where making a selection in one urxvtd window
221 would not clear it visually in another.
222 - fix an issue of urxvt not getting background pixmap updates
223 and flickering after bg pixmap changes (reported by Mikachu).
224 - fix redraw bug in xterm scrollbar with -sr (reported by Mikachu).
225 - correctly provide dependencies for libev (µikachu).
226 - minor code reorganisations and cleanups.
227 - be more robust in case the urxvt-popup extension cannot be loaded.
228
2298.8 Sat Dec 15 19:40:39 CET 2007
230 - option -C was aliased to all unsupported options, activating
231 options that shouldn't be compiled in, leading to interesting
232 effects.
233 - updated libev, working around a bug in linux 2.4, curing the
234 symptom of urxvt not closing its window on shell exit. also
235 fixes a problem with urxvt not refreshing.
236 - the text blink callback was called even when no blinking
237 text was visible.
238 - pre-8.4 slipwheeling behaviour has been reinstated, with
239 some minor improvements.
240 - streamlined x events processing to only flush once per
241 display and not once per terminal window.
242 - quite a bit of minor code cleanups and codesize optimisations.
243
2448.7 Sun Nov 25 10:23:49 CET 2007
245 - update libev with an important bugfix that would cause crashes
246 when closing windows (when using rxvtd, and update is recommended).
247 - do not compile in the block builtin graphics with --disable-frills.
248
2498.6 Fri Nov 23 14:10:57 CET 2007
250 - upgrade libev to disable kqueue on anything but netbsd as it
251 seems to be broken everywhere else w.r.t. ptys.
252 - allow for spurious event notifications, as at least epoll and
253 especially solaris ports like to lie about them (symptoms:
254 urxvt "hangs" until there is some x11 related activity).
255 - -keysym command line options are now subjected to xlib parsing.
256 - add 'xrm' option analogous to Xt one.
257
2588.5a Wed Nov 21 10:16:33 CET 2007
259 - make it compile with --disable-transparency.
260

262 - expect major portability issues in this release: please test and report.
263 - converted from the veritable io manager event loop to
264 the high performance libev (http://software.schmorp.de/pkg/libev).
265 - minor tuning to the perl selection (include single words and more quoting chars).
266 - fix memory leak in pixmap code.
267 - fix a serious bug while setting the XIM destroy callback
268 on (typical) 64 bit systems.
269 - automove-background functionality re-implemented internally using :root op in pixmap
270 geometry string. For example: rxvt -pixmap "image.jpg;:root"
271 - do not link rxvtc against every lib on the planet anymore.
272 - parallel builds should work once more.
273
