157.0 22 - expect major compatibility issues and please test and report.
23 - converted from the veritable io manager event loop to
24 the high performance libev (http://software.schmorp.de/pkg/libev).
25 - fix a serious bug while setting the XIM destroy callback
26 on (typical) 64 bit systems.
27
288.4 Sat Oct 27 14:02:13 CEST 2007
29 - overhaul of the transparency/pixmap code (sasha).
30 - fix possible race betwen visual bell and poweron.
31 (reported by Martin von Gagern, gentoo?).
32 - urxvt -e no longer crashes the child.
33 - fixed some minor memleaks on incorrect usage or

37 - updated io_manager.
38
398.3 Wed Aug 1 20:21:31 CEST 2007
40 - new option: skipScroll/-ss, enabled by default.
41 - go with the times and expect x11 library files in /usr/lib, not
42 /usr/X11R6/lib.
43 - initial transparency improvement/afterimage support
44 patch by Sasha Vasko.
45 - add urgentOnBell resource to set the urgency hint
46 (patch by Philip Paeps).
47 - do not process focus events caused by grabs
48 (patch by Mikachu).
49 - add iso14755_52 resource to disable iso14755 5.2 (exg).

60
618.2 Sat Feb 17 21:35:28 CET 2007
62 - fix make depend in src/, reported by exg.
63 - fixed typo in urxvt::GET_CUSTOM, causing the result to be wrong.
64 (patch by Sergey Vlasov).
65 - unbundled iom perl interface somewhat.
66 - scrollbar-xterm now uses the selected scrollColor instead of fg
67 (found by Aiviru).
68 - disabled linux kernel bug workaround again: disabling it gives
69 a 50% speed hit on affected machines, while enabling it gives
70 a similar speed hit to screen, which is likely the more common
71 case to work around for :/
72 - urxvt::rend2mask perl function, and utilization of it by matcher
73 (patch by Moshe Kamensky).
74 - use perl:matcher on a keysym to open most recently displayed URL.
75 - with matcher, when multiple patterns match, last wins, not first.
76 - fix make and make install with srcdir != builddir (exg).
77 - updated bundled libptytty to fix a bug where the tty would be kept
78 open (see the libptytty ChangeLog for details).
79 - delay setting the IUTF8 flag to after the tty settings have been
80 set so its value does not get lost (reported and analysed by Andrei
81 Paskevich).
82 - rip out support for obsolete sgtty.h interface.
83 - rip out support for non-POSIX termios variants.
84 - update libptytty.
85 - update iom.C, make it call ptytty::sanitise_stdfd on init.
86 - when !XFT, change rounding of colours to use a less correct formula to
87 meet user expectancies (#aaa becomes #a000a000a000 not #9f9f9f9f9f9f).
88 - change the starting offset of the pixmap set with backgroundPixmap
89 from (50,50) to (0,0) (exg).
90 - fix a typo in button_release, now meta-button2 request the value of
91 the Clipboard selection as it should (patch by Serge Koksharov).
92 - fix a bug in drawing a cell with a nonspacing char when using an xft
93 font with inheritPixmap and tintColor (exg).
94
958.1 Thu Dec 7 22:27:25 CET 2006
96 - ケリスマスプレゼント - zomg!!1, it's too early!!!
97 - fix the assumption that chars < 256 are single-width. Now
98 only assume this for codepoints 32 to 126 (reported by Dai.H.).
99 - $term->strwidth returned wide chars as width 1, because some jerk
100 confused min and max. Fixing this also fixes xim-onthespot.
101 Reported by Takano Akio.
102 - secondaryScroll is now enabled by default (as per the manpage),
103 reported by exg.
104 - correct the description of [percent]color rgba format in the manpage.
105 - incorporated macosx-clipboard extension by Samuel Ljungkvist.
106 - ignore (some) useless focus events (reported by mmc).
107 - updated compose table to unicode 5.0.0.
108
1098.0 Thu Nov 2 18:35:19 CET 2006
110 - combining characters cleared the area instead of creating an overlay,
111 thus losing the ability to draw combining characters properly in most
112 circumstances (reported by exg).
113 - specified fonts were incorrectly morphed to bold/italic according to the
114 basefont, even if explicitly specified (tracked down by tpope).
115 - fixed urxvt::strwidth to calculate width in the same way as screen.C.
116 - fix a crash caused by passing negative widths to overlay functions.
117 - added 'matcher' extension by tpope, replacing the mark-urls extension.
118 - improve url regex to match anything www.* (tpope).
119 - fixed bug with outline cursor color being wrong after xft fonts.
120 - update to libptytty-1.0.
121 - give proper diagnostic when RXVT_SOCKET is too long instead of
122 corrupting the stack (patch by exg).
123 - display current terminal locale in option menu.
124 - urxvtd no longer crashes when the client sends an inaccessible
125 working directory (reported by Roland Baer, possibly fixes gentoo
126 bug #143985).
127 - fixed many minor issues reported by Roland Baer.
128 - Leonid Khramov spotted a minor glitch in rxvtfont.C that
129 should not have any consequences, but was buggy nonetheless.
130 - manpage fix by exg.
131
1327.9 Mon Aug 7 18:16:07 CEST 2006
133 - fix the crashing bug people encountered with 7.8 + urxvtd + perl
134 + transparency. Ought to fix debian bug #380348.
135 - fix urxvtc.1.pod: it actually claimed -pty-fd would not work. But
136 it does! :->
137 - rxvt_fatal() in case the locale string is too long for our static buffer.
138 - fixed many, many, typos in the manpages (patch supplied by ves).
139
1407.8 Mon Jul 17 21:00:46 CEST 2006
141 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: this version will always read ~/.Xdefaults,
142 earlier versions only read it if display-resources (usually from
143 .Xresources) are not set. This avoids the #1 FAQ ("why isn't my
144 resource used") and seems to be logical behaviour, too. .Xdefaults
145 resources have a lower priority than display-specific resources.
146 - add "kuake" perl extension that does a similar thing to the kuake
147 terminal emulator (see man urxtvperl).
148 - use less "correct" color scaling that is compatible with libX11 and
149 Xft (avoids off-by-one colors resulting in striped backgrounds).
150 - the "depth" resource is now respected.
151 - preset the searchable-scrollback pattern with "(?i)" to default search
152 to case-insensitivity. Will automatically be cleared when typing an
153 uppercase character.
154 - add FORCE_UNBUFFERED_XFT define to features.h.
155 - re-enabled highlightcolor support with --enable-frills, based on
156 a patch by Martin Stubenschrott.
157 - double-buffered xft drawing did suffer from pixel offset issues
158 when pixmap transparency was enabled.
159 - strategically add # to the url-match regexes, as we really want to
160 match common URIs not common URLs. Reported by Aaron Griffin.
161 - moved on_osc_seq to on_osc_seq_perl and added a more
162 generic osc_seq.
163 - fix a bug causing double callback invocations when perl hooks
164 were invoked recursively.
165 - the automove-background extension now properly works when the
166 pixmap gets reset with an osc sequence (sqweek).
167 - selection-pastebin did not work properly with non-latin1-characters.
168 - apply colorUL only when the text colour is the default fg
169 (patch by Wu Fengguang).
170 - removed rxvtlib.h from the tarball, it had no reason to be there
171 (spotted by Decklin Foster).
172 - fix compiling with TRANSPARENT but !XPM_BACKGROUND, as reported
173 by omatunto_.
174 - slap in a using namespace std, might help on platforms that don't
175 follow C++ closely enough.
176 - fix mailto url regex, spotted within milliseconds by Jost Krieger.
177 - applied fade_color_update_func.patch by WU Fengguang.
178 - fix a bug where (due to an optimisation in av_delete), hiding the
179 bottom-most overlay would hide two overlays.
180
1817.7 Tue Feb 21 12:32:49 CET 2006
182 - use double-buffered drawing (xft fonts only). On many driver/hardware
183 combination this actually increases xft drawing speed, at the expense
184 of more network bandwidth and slight nausea on the side of the author.
185 - readline perl extension now requires shift-click instead of a normal
186 click, and eats the click.
187 - tabbed perl extension now supports -e.
188 - disabled graphics-exposures on the main drawing GC, report any
189 refresh bugs please.
190 - improve property handling for -pe tabbed: avoid unnecessary property
191 changes (for kde's benefit) at the expense of extra round-trips,
192 improve size hint setting.
193 - modified XIM according to a patch sent by Takano Akio that sets
194 the preedit rectangle for OverTheSpot, which helps some input methods
195 to correctly position their preedit window.
196 - un-optimise the line clearing on newly scrolled-in lines a bit: the
197 former reasoning was that any fg colour on default bg looks the same
198 in empty spaces, but thats not true when reversing (e.g. selection),
199 so also check for matching fg colours. This fixes the problem where
200 selecting newly scrolled-in lines would exhibit wrong colours.
201 - fix a bug in the perl interface causing focus in events to generate
202 focus out perl events, causing bad focus effects with -pe tabbed.
203 - fix a race resulting in a crash on exiting.
204 - fix a with --disable-xft that caused xfreecolors to be called on
205 colors never allocated, resulting in aborts (reported by Paco-Paco).
206 - resources on non-initial screens weren't refetched correctly
207 (reported by Paco-Paco).
208 - fix a bug in xcopyarea pass and _disable_ it, as it seems not to be
209 working in either rxvt-unicode nor in the original rxvt.
210 - removed undocumented -exec alias for the -e option.
211
2127.6 Fri Feb 10 08:52:36 CET 2006
213 - changed interpretation of [alpha] colour prefix.
214 - +option now really sets the option to default, instead of using the
215 resource value.
216 - options that require an argument now really _require_ an argument.
217 - the tabbed extension now forwards focus and keys events to th
218 relevant tab window.
219 - tab colours are now configurable and have sensible defaults
220 (initial patch by hednod).
221 - option menu is extendable, readline, selection and
222 selection-autotransform can now be disabled/enabled at runtime.
223 - forcing a configure event to tabbed subwindows with -pe tabbed, for
224 the benefit of automove-background.
225 - the automove-background extension added a wrong constant offset.
226 - force refresh of XA_RESOURCE_STRING on virtual reconnect.
227 - return exit status 2 in urxvtc when urxvtd couldn't be contacted.
228 - the linux yield hack is back, now using usleep, and enabled only on
229 __linux__.
230 - further round trip eliminations in the !XFT case by remembering
231 the colour components.
232 - plain scrollbar works better with -sr.
233 - fixed half-shadow scrollbar look.
234 - more colour rtt optimisations.
235 - properly(?) free colours on window close.
236 - reorganised the FAQ into multiple sections.
237 - add ISO646.1991-IRV to the list of supported codesets.
238 - minor libptytty update.
239
2407.5 Tue Jan 31 15:15:43 CET 2006
241 - further improvements to the careful mode detection, and font width
242 detection:
243 - fully double-wide fonts will now be correctly treated,
244 - overlap detection was improved.
245 - detect totally broken fonts (usually synthesized by xft).
246 - careful mode forced refresh sometimes clashed with blinking,
247 causing unnecessary screen redraws.
248 - better handling of XFT combining characters.
249 - enable antialiasing for some replacement fonts, as they
250 might get used for other encodings which really need it, later.
251 - remove spacing=100 from all default fonts, as this creates totally
252 weird spacing (5 times normal) with xft.
253 - removed iso10646 fallback, as xorgs iso10646 encoded fonts are mostly
254 broken.
255 - removed gnu unifont fallback, all combining characters are broken.
256 - replace named colours by xorg's rgb.txt equivalents, to
257 reduce round trip time on startup, and short-cut allocation
258 of rgb:rr/gg/bb for xft.
259 - short-cut allocation of rgb values in the xlib case
260 (patch by Paco-Paco).
261 - overhauled color management: smaller codesize, alpha support.
262 - support "rgba:rrrr/gggg/bbbb/aaaa" color specifications and
263 an "[alpha]" prefix.
264 - try to work around Xft and Xrender forcing everything to be 100%
265 transparent. Long Live Xft!
266 - do not include X11/Intrinsic.h anymore, directly use
267 Xlib/Xutil/Xresource directly.
268 - try to find a nearest matching color when color allocation fails
269 on a pseudocolor screen.
270 - SYNCCVS: compared to rxvt-cvs 2006-01-28, no relevant changes.
271 - fix version report (DA) (which was unfortunately broken).
272 - changed version number report again, now to emulate xterm closer.
273 - added the OSC sequence 702 to detect the urxvt version number.
274 - small configure updates.
275 - further RTT optimisations.
276 - backported clean-up patches for makefiles and documentation from
277 the debian package.
278 - updated doc/rxvt-unicode.spec file. It's still not maintained here,
279 but much newer than the old one.
280
2817.4 Sat Jan 28 15:26:27 CET 2006
282 - screen background wasn't always erased properly when scrolling,
283 - re-enabled clearing optimisation disabled in 7.4pre.
284 - small configure updates for libptytty.
285 - fixed version options: line output.
286 - removed stoopid debugging message left in the code.
287
2887.3 Wed Jan 25 22:47:35 CET 2006
289 - don't let iso14755 or mouse reporting get into the way of perl
290 (could lead to global grabs never being cleared).
291 - experimental OnTheSpot editing support (-pe xim-onthespot).
292 - moved Shift-Button2 paste combination to Meta-Button2.
293 - the cutchars resource will now be respected and used by the
294 selection extension.
295 - added the "remote-clipboard" extension which just runs external
296 commands to fetch and store the selection data.
297 - added -depth switch that tries to get a different visual depth
298 than the default (replaces the old PREFER_24_BIT logic).
299 - removed (unused) arabic presentation form composing sequences.
300 - be more strict when deciding that a core font glyph is too wide and
301 needs the careful rendering mode.
302 - allow more leeway for italic fonts when deciding that a character is
303 too wide and needs careful mode.
304 - redraw even more characters around characters using careful mode.
305 - made selection-pastebin fully asynchronous.
306 - reduced number of server turnarounds at startup by allocating
307 atoms only once per display.
308 - renamed on_keyboard_command to on_user_command.
309 - changed version sos (ESC [ > c) response to be more compatible with
310 xterm.
311
3127.2 Sun Jan 22 21:58:16 CET 2006
313 - bugfix: urxvt (not urxvtd) did not correctly handle multiple
314 environments necessary, which resulted in segfaults within
315 getenv (reproducable: urxvt -fn 9x15, open a menu once,
316 ctrl-shift-672c).
317 - bugfix: the selection speedup in in 7.1 unfortunately caused
318 non-ascii characters to enlarge/move the selection.
319 - bugfix: resizing sometimes leaked lines from the secondary to
320 the primary screen.
321 - bugfix: reducing window size while large amounts of text were output
322 could lead to an assertion failure.
323 - added "tabbed" extension that provides a crude tabbed terminal.
324 - added "readline" extension that allows cursor positioning
325 via mouse clicks.
326 - now it is possible to insert the value of the CLIPBOARD selection
327 with shift - mouse button 2.
328 - fixed the automove-background extension to ignore coordinates
329 in non-synthetic events.
330 - created a separate libpty for portable and secure
331 pty/tty/utmp/wtmp/lastlog handling, and include it in rxvt-unicode.
332 - the non-terminfo visual bell now works asynchronously, so
333 continuous ASCI BELs in one terminal do no longer monopolise the
334 whole urxvt[d] process.
335 - support some *BSD makes (for the time being, gnu make is a safe bet).
336 - work around bugs in FreeBSD's gcc.
337 - implemented some *BSD fixes in configure.
338 - removed support for obsolete offix dnd protocol.
339
3407.1 Thu Jan 19 20:25:34 CET 2006
341 - setuid/setgid operation is now _encouraged_: security has been
342 improved by moving privileged operations into a separate process
343 and permanently dropping privileges within the terminal. This
344 makes it possible to remove security checks from the perl code
345 and gives a much safer feeling when urxvt needs to run with
346 special privileges.
347 - perl taint checking disabled, as urxvt no longer runs setuid/setgid
348 itself.
349 - new perl extension automove-background that can be used to get
350 the same effect as pseudo-transparency with any pixmap.
351 - new perl extension example: perl/selection-pastebin, can be used to
352 e.g. upload the selection to a webserver and generate a url, or
353 similar stuff.
354 - use the scrollback buffer even when the scroll region doesn't
355 span the whole screen, as long as it starts at row 0. Helps
356 for programs displaying a status line at the bottom.
357 - selection popup now shows selection in dec/hex/oct.
358 - perl/selection: matching on unicode characters in the selection
359 code was O(n²), which equals infinity in some degenerate cases
360 :-> Matching is now done on UTF-8, which makes it almost instant.
361 - perl/selection, perl/selection-autotransform: regexes are now
362 being interpreted in the locale urxvt was started.
363 - implemented override-redirect option and enabled it on menus,
364 as kwin puts our windows behind the terminal (what a shoddy wm).
365 - fixed struct utmp check in configure for OpenBSD.
366 - complete overhaul of the pty/utmp management stuff and configure
367 (Emanuele Giaquinta).
368 - add tsl/fsl and related capabilities to the terminfo description,
369 to set the window title.
370 - swap the environment in some more cases. This hopefully fixes
371 some segfaults that might be caused by xft asking for env variables
372 at the wrong time.
373 - removed src/strings.C and src/menubar.C. No menubar support
374 anymore.
375 - removed all traces of SMOOTH_REFRESH.
376 - nuked QNX support.
377 - made some fixes to xpm offset and scaling code.
378 - perl-overlays and refresh hooks were not applied in correct order.
379 - changed coordinate-system of view_start/nsaved to be top to bottom.
380 - iom extended to support listening for child exits.
381
3827.0 Fri Jan 13 14:02:18 CET 2006
16 - added sections for DISTRIBUTION MAINTAINERS and about 383 - added sections for DISTRIBUTION MAINTAINERS and about
17 SETUID/SETGID to the FAQ. 384 SETUID/SETGID to the FAQ.
