21 http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=377194 25 - remove "using namespace std" because clang erroneously
26 thinks thats an error.
27 - finding a matching font (e.g. bold version of the base font)
28 was broken (reported by Eamon Walker).
29 - fix parsing of bg image styles. They really work now.
30 - fix blurring of bg image borders when using xrender.
31 - fix xrender blur on common xrender implementations that do
32 not behave correctly when the same pixmap is used as source
33 and destination in composite operations.
34 - fix regression that caused tabbed to compute the wrong size
35 for tabs.
36 - allow again an empty suffix in a keysym list spec (patch by
37 Sung Pae).
38 - unsupported support for sun studio's CC added.
39 - fix -C option on solaris.

419.14 Wed Dec 21 18:40:33 CET 2011
42 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: the urxvtd default socket path is now
43 $HOME/.urxvt/urxvtd-<nodename>.
44 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: the "list" keysym expansion now requires
45 loading of the "keysym-list" perl extension.
46 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: A scale value of 0 in the bg image
47 geometry no longer enables tiling, so as to make it possible
48 to disable both scaling and tiling.
49 - overhaul of the bg image operations. The old operations have
50 been deprecated in favour of elementary operations and
51 styles built on top of the new operations and scale/position
52 settings. (Emanuele Giaquinta).
53 - support for libafterimage is deprecated and will be removed
54 in the next release.
55 - fix a crash caused by selection_check not properly resetting
56 out-of-bounds mark values (can happen when extending a selection
57 while scrolling up in curses programs for example).
58 - do not move the selection when scrolling up and the selection is
59 outside the scrolling region (Emanuele Giaquinta).
60 - fix display of bold bright black (reported by Ben Winslow).
61 - fix memory leak when urgentOnBell is set (patch by Nathaniel
62 Filardo).
63 - fix a redraw bug that occurs when a bg pixmap is set and the
64 wm does not honour the size hints set by urxvt. Now urxvt
65 forces the size of the terminal window to be a multiple of
66 the cell size.
67 - sanitise the argument of SD / SU sequences. Fixes a possible
68 crash when the argument is big enough, red hat bug #711137
69 (Emanuele Giaquinta).
70 - correctly split long lines when scrolling.
71 - urxvt now looks for perl extensions also in $HOME/.urxvt/ext.
72 - add bell-command perl extension to execute a command when a
73 bell event occurs (Ryan Kavanagh).
74 - add set_urgency perl binding to set/reset the urgency hint.
75 - consume button release event in matcher (exg).
76 - keyboard accessible list of recent matches in matcher
77 (Bob Farrell).
78 - properly process 'keysym' sequences in tabbed when using
79 'focus follows mouse' and the focus is on the main window
80 but not on the active terminal window (patch by Martin
81 Pohlack).
82 - support for the freedesktop startup-notification protocol (patch by
83 Michael Stapelberg).
84 - the direction of VPR and VPB commands was reversed.
85 - fix alignment of inherited root pixmap when it is a different size
86 than the root window and the terminal window is off the left or top
87 edge (Mikachu).
88 - make $self visible in "eval perl expression" popup action, also
89 handle exceptions better.
90 - fix parsing of '-e' when it occurs as an option argument, such as in
91 'urxvt -title -e' (Emanuele Giaquinta).
92
939.12 Wed Jun 29 14:34:28 CEST 2011
94 - fix regression in processing of SelectionNotify events.
95 urxvt would fail to request a selection if the owner did not
96 support the UTF8_STRING target.
97 - fix rendering of double width chars in certain circumstances, more
98 likely to happen if urxvt is compiled with 256 colors support as
99 urxvt runs out of fonts much earlier then. Fixes gentoo bug #358151
100 (Emanuele Giaquinta).
101 - restore support for 'list' syntax in keysym resources (requested by Sung Pae).
102 - always premultiply colour values - while this increases differences between
103 core fonts and xft, it is "more correct" in practical situations.
104 - disable PTYTTY_REENTRANT option - not needed for urxvt and saves a bit of code.
105 - remove lucidatypewriter from the list of fallback fonts, it was the only
106 non-xft non-cellfont in the list anyway.
107
1089.11 Mon May 2 10:34:46 CEST 2011
109 - fix compilation on GNU/Hurd, debian bug #624736.
110 - remove 'list' syntax for keysym resources, as it serves no useful purpose.
111 If you need it, poke us and provide a use case.
112 - fix alpha channel support. Premultiply alpha in colours if the visual
113 supports an alpha channel, as xrender expects premultiplied alpha
114 (Emanuele Giaquinta).
115 - fix reply to a selection request sent by an obsolete client
116 such as syncterm (patch by Marcin Cieslak).
117 - fix crash when the window is resized and the overlay is active
118 (Emanuele Giaquinta, reported by Ryan Kavanagh).
119 - match character-wise rather than byte-wise in selection
120 extension again. perl 5.8.9+ is required to avoid extreme
121 slowdowns. Fixes debian bugs #523072, #616463.
122 - fix a possible crash if the INCR transfer process for a
123 selection property timeouts and at least one chunk is
124 received. (Emanuele Giaquinta)
125 - work around a memory corruption bug in xorg's XrmSetDatabase (apparently
126 broken since http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/xorg-commit-diffs/2004-March/000239.html).
127 - fix memory corruption bug when custom command sequences bound to keys
128 were injected into an already-full pty input buffer.
129 - gdk-pixbuf is autodetected by default and preferred over libafterimage.
130 - do not prepend a newline to the selection text when the starting line
131 of the selection is not highlighted (Emanuele Giaquinta).
132 - don't swap perl env with real env, save and restore it, just in case
133 we ever get recursive perl invocations. also saves a bit of codespace
134 with gcc.
135 - fix various memory leaks (Emanuele Giaquinta).
136 - fix typo in kIC terminfo capability, debian bug #446444.
137 - document 'thickness' resource.
138 - fix debian bug #504817, to the extent possible.
139 - try to detect byte order at compile time, saves a couple of
140 hundred bytes, if your compiler is smart enough.
141 - add support for previewing the pasted data in confirm-paste
142 (Emanuele Giaquinta).
143 - added "newlines to spaces" option in selection-popup.
144 - actually enabled solaris event ports backend (was disabled by accident).
145 - revert to 38400 baud max., mission accomplished.
146 - no longer create scary "pty_fill: PLEASE REPORT" message, instead,
147 silently drain the input (problem is well understood now).
148 - no longer swallow rob nation's own graphics mode commands.
149
1509.10 Mon Dec 13 17:43:52 CET 2010
151 - the "schmorp=north korea dickey=south korea" release.
152 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: make OSC 20 simpler and more correct
153 (Emanuele Giaquinta).
154 - if options were compiled out, this could lead to the option
155 count to be defined wrongly. This is likely behind the
156 failures with gcc 4.5.
157 - explicitly depend on fontconfig and xrender when xft support
158 is enabled. Although the public Xft api uses types from
159 both, in Xft 2.2.0 these libs are private
160 dependencies only thanks to an idiotic behaviour of
161 pkg-config that was added to workaround cases like this one.
162 Fixes linking when using GNU ld with --as-needed or GNU gold
163 (based on patch by Jan Palus).
164 - fix minor memory leaks in urxvt and urxvtd.
165 - fix regression in urxvtd that prevented options from being correctly
166 set (reported by Michal Vaner).
167 - implement xterm's horribly broken 1005 mouse reporting mode,
168 and an alternative 1015 mode that works in non-utf-8 locales
169 and has fewer limitations.
170 - fix a possible bug where mouse notifications didn't work after
171 startup for the upper left corner.
172 - implement our own pixbuf to pixmap rendering to get rid of
173 dependency on buggy gdk-pixbuf-xlib. Only truecolor visuals
174 are supported (Emanuele Giaquinta).
175 - apply tinting before shading when both operations are requested.
176 Previously they were intermixed when lightening and the result
177 was inaccurate and confusing. Note that now a black tint yields a
178 completely black image, regardless of shading (Emanuele Giaquinta).
179 - avoid spurious redraws of the bg image when bg is transparent or
180 when using 'root' mode (Emanuele Giaquinta).
181 - fix build on XFree86.
182 - dynamically number options according to compiletime requirements.
183 For the extra saved byte. Or so. Yay.
184 - start options at one, not zero. Wastes a bit per terminal. Maybe.
185 saves 50 instruction bytes. Possibly.
186
1879.09 Sat Nov 13 01:39:07 CET 2010
188 - NOTICE: this release updates terminfo/termcap.
189 - the bestest release ever.
190 - it was verified that urxvt handles µ and μ correctly.

193 - cleanup and minor fixes of the image code (Emanuele Giaquinta).
194 - new perl extension "confirm-paste" (Emanuele Giaquinta).
195 - new on_tt_paste perl hook and tt_paste perl binding (Emanuele Giaquinta).
196 - new on_bell perl hook (Emanuele Giaquinta).
197 - searchable-scrollback no longer ignores the first line
198 (Emanuele Giaquinta).
199 - properly set VSTATUS in termios for *BSD (reported by Ed Schouten).
200 - fix utmpx detection on upcoming FreeBSD 9.
201 - Use COMPOUND_TEXT encoding for WM_NAME/WM_ICON_NAME value when it
202 is not fully convertible to STRING (patch by James Cloos).
203 - fix a buffer overflow that would cause wrong key sequences to
204 be generated for numpad keys (introduced in 9.05).
205 - fix definition of sgr0 to work around limitations in luit.
206 - extend ISO 14755 5.4 mode to also print the font name of the
207 characters other than first one in the selected cell
208 (Emanuele Giaquinta).
209 - new iso14755 option to disable ISO 14755 at runtime
210 (Emanuele Giaquinta).
211 - make sure pagewise scrolling scrolls at least one line
212 (found by Mikachu).
213 - remove deprecated OSC 18 / 19 and make OSC 17 / 19 apply to
214 highlightColor / highlightTextColor (Emanuele Giaquinta).
215 - add highlightTextColor resource to change the foreground colour of
216 highlighted characters (Emanuele Giaquinta).
217 - make highlightColor apply also to selected cells with reverse video
218 but not to non selected cells with reverse video (Emanuele Giaquinta).
219 - remove colorRV resource (it was enabled only with frills off).
220 - fix numlock handling, the most longstanding bug to date (Emanuele Giaquinta).
221 - reduce the number of custom bits to 4, to make room
222 for 256 colours.
223 - add support for 256 colors (Emanuele Giaquinta, Marc Lehmann).
224 - add rxvt-unicode-256color terminfo and use it by default in 256 colors mode.
225 - update rxvt-unicode terminfo to state 7744 colour pairs to cover all
226 88*88 possible pairs.
227 - actually added macosx-clipboard-native, which should have been in
228 the 9.07 release but had been forgotten.
229 - fix hang if DECAWM is not set and there are not enough columns to insert a
230 character (Emanuele Giaquinta).
231 - cub1 ("backspace") will now respect wrapping when past the rightmost column,
232 working around a shortcoming of most tty line discipline's line editing.
233 - add support for grabbing the clipboard selection and extend
234 selection{_clear,_grab,} perl bindings to optionally work
235 on the clipboard selection (based on patch by Dana Jansens).
236 - no longer force CERASE to BACKSPACE - use the system default. affects
237 default value for VERASE only when no compatible setting for
238 backspacekey was given.
239 - use higher than 38400 baudrate setting, if detected.
240 - erase screen would clear to the wrong background when blinking
241 was enabled (which selects high intensity under some circumstances).
242 - scr_kill_char didn't touch the line.
243 - upgrade and port to libev-4.01.
244 - enabled solaris event ports and kqueue backends (if available).
245
2469.07 Wed Dec 30 07:07:18 CET 2009
247 - port to glibc-2.10 changes (strchr etc. returning const char *
248 in C++), based on patches by Milos Jakubicek and Oliver Mader.
249 - the binary search algorithm to find precomposed characters
250 was faulty, skipping some possible combinations (found by
251 Mikachu).
252 - new -letterspace option, patch by Mark H. Wilkinson.
253 - enable --mlock option for urxvt with frills on
254 systems supporting it (patch by Russell Harmon).
255 - urxvt did not compile without frills enabled
256 (analysed by Matthew Rosewarne).
257 - correctly reset the mbstate after an illegal
258 input sequence when handling terminal output (Emanuele Giaquinta).
259 - avoid redrawing wide characters with combining enabled on every
260 refresh (reported by Mikachu).
261 - fix a typo preventing the ISO-646.1991 character set from being
262 recognized (http://achurch.org/patch-pile/).
263 - better warning for x11 font encoding detection failures, also,
264 try to deduce encoding from both font properties and name
265 (adapted from http://achurch.org/patch-pile/).
266 - resizing the window with the scrollbar disabled via the escapes
267 sequence could make the window bigger again (Mikachu).
268 - make sure the alignment for fd passing control messages
269 is correct and work around some NetBSD issues (Taylor R Campbell).
270 - update to libptytty 1.3.
271 - replace macosx-clipboard by a nicer version by Reza Jelveh, and move
272 the old version to macosx-clipboard-native.
273 - document the -uc option (Emanuele Giaquinta).
274 - assertions in libev are now enabled depending on frills.
275 - update AnyEvent implementation to version 5.23 API.
276 - work around arrogant bsd idiocies again: netbsd spills the default
277 namespace with lots of symbols "for gnu/gcc compatibility" even
278 though neither of them does it, and then calls the rest of the world
279 in need of fixing. go figure.
280 - on_keyboard_command is on_user_command (patch by Michael Witten).
281 - setting the selection from perl will now reset the selection screen
282 to the current screen. the screen can be manipulated using
283 the new ->selection_screen method.
284 - implement --enable-assert configure option and get rid of DEBUG_STRICT
285 (based on patch by Emanuele Giaquinta).

287 - allow `xxx' quoting style for perl selection.
288 - upgrade to libev-3.9 prerelease.
289 - updated compose tables to unicode 5.2.0.
290
2919.06 Sat Nov 8 17:47:18 CET 2008
292 - NOTICE: this release updates terminfo/termcap.
293 - updates libev to 3.48.
294 - the aterm code now frees the as visual and image manager objects
295 when a window was closed.
296 - do not (wrongly) adjust the virtual line length inside
297 scr_insdel_chars/ERASE (Miroslav Lichvar).
298 - fix an issue where wide tab characters caused character shifts
299 when part of them was deleted (tracked down by Miroslav Lichvar).
300 - artificially enlargen the previous character at the end of a line
301 when trying to output a character that doesn't fit. looks ugly, but
302 makes copy&paste work.
303 - remove bogus "setuid/setgid security issues" from rxvt.1.pod, they
304 no longer apply.
305 - the urgency hint is now cleared on both focus in and focus out.
306 - cache urgency hint locally to avoid server rtt on every focus change.
307 - perl 5.10 needs PERL_SYS_INIT3 on hppa.
308 - ignore byte-order marks and do not treat them like combining characters.
309 - fix build issue when CURSOR_BLINK is not defined (Emanuele Giaquinta).
310 - do some µ-optimisations to the character fast path.
311 - use a less cunning, but more robust algorithm to avoid one terminal
312 monopolising the whole process by outputting a lot of text.
313 - try to work around linux first breaking sched_yield and now breaking
314 the only known workaround.
315 - new option -icon to set _NET_WM_ICON (based on patch by Frank Schmitt).
316 - initialise the as visual only on demand, instead of unconditionally,
317 to save memory in the common case of not using visual gimmicks.
318 - try to work around bugs in a few wm's that erroneously resize
319 client windows on hint property updates by temporarily
320 disabling size hints.
321 - implement the DECSTR soft reset sequence and use it for tput init,
322 and make hard RIS and DECSTR both reset more private modes, such
323 as mouse reporting.
324 - redundantly clear mouse reporting and a few other states in
325 tput init/tput reset, for older urxvts.
326 - partial/full clear screens did cause flickering and possibly pixel
327 droppings when urxvt viewed the scrollback buffer.
328 - use current rendition style in DCH sequence.
329 - the 132/80 mode switch no longer forces a screen reset.
330 - add an osc sequence to change the border colour (Emanuele Giaquinta).
331 - new perl extension "overlay-osc", for status displays and the like.
332 - fix some minor cursor drawing issues with overlays by allowing
333 overlays to modify screen flags (to disable the cursor themselves).
334 - work around programs not restoring rstyle before rmcup
335 (analysed by Miroslav Lichvar).
336
3379.05 Sun Jun 15 20:09:20 CEST 2008
338 - new option --cd/chdir to set the starting working directory.
339 - tabbed extension now starts in the "correct" working directory.
340 - work around fedora 9 providing isastream but not the relevant
341 header file for it (report by Tuncer Ayaz).
342 - upgrade libev, fixing a bug in the select backend.
343 with more than 31 file descriptors on non-linux 64 bit systems.
344 - correctly reset the multibyte state to the initial one
345 after EILSEQ (patch by Neil Booth). This fixes the
346 issue of rxvt-unicode not properly displaying text after an illegal
347 sequence on NetBSD and probably other systems.
348 - more intelligent property handling with -pe tabbed, works around
349 broken window managers (kwm et al.), saves bandwidth and should
350 help working window managers as well.
351 - made tabs moveable (based on a patch by Petr Machata).
352 - implement ESC [ 3 K as a more rational alternative to ESC [ 0 K.
353 - support relative paths for RXVT_SOCKET in urxvtd.
354 - the tabbed extension now blindly copies over all (rxvt-) resources
355 from the toplevel window to the children.
356 - better diagnostic on 0x0 window geometries.
357 - update AnyEvent API to version 3.4 and above.
358 - document the default value of :0 for DISPLAY.
359 - rename perl method XChangeWindowProperty to XChangeProperty.
360
3619.02 Tue Jan 29 11:58:36 CET 2008
362 - the "exg makes everybody happy" release.
363 - fix build with !xft.
364 - always compile in plain style scrollbar (simplifies code and looks great).
365
3669.01 Sat Jan 26 20:49:27 CET 2008
367 - be more aggressive about handling X events, this seems to be required
368 with newer xlibs (should fix the "screen stays black until event is
369 received" problem, again :)
370 - add buffered resource to control xft double-buffering.
371
3729.0 Fri Jan 25 19:34:04 CET 2008
373 - fix a crash bug where urxvtd would crash when urxvtc was called
374 with wrong arguments (I wish debian maintainers in general would
375 report bugs and their proposed fixes to the original package maintainers
376 instead of sitting on them for good measure to see if anybody notices).
377 - drawing xft compose characters was causing garbage to be drawn.
378 - correctly clear xft character background in all cases.
379 - implement bracketed paste mode (xterm private mode 2004).
380 - improve documentation on alpha channel handling, make urxvt
381 work better on servers lacking the RENDER extension when alpha
382 channels or background images are used.
383 - check for refresh after initialising to avoid staying blank
384 till the first event arrives. or so.
385 - the FORCE_UNBUFFERED_XFT feature macro works again.
386 - continuously update transparency while moving/resizing now.
387 - OSC 39/49 are deprecated and aliased to OSC 10/11.
388 - cub1 now acts as advertised (and ignores the "wrapped" state).
389 - the 132/80 mode switch now forces a height of 24, too, and
390 resets the terminal.
391 - scrollbar code cleanups.
392 - stopping children is no longer confused with children exiting.
393 - removed (undocumented) #aarrggbb format.
394 - updated to libev 3.0.
395
3968.9 Mon Dec 24 07:51:40 CET 2007
397 - fix the issue where urxvtd would not immediately close a window
398 when the command exited but only on the next X event.
399 - changed terminfo file not to use application keypad mode.
400 - fix the issue where making a selection in one urxvtd window
401 would not clear it visually in another.
402 - fix an issue of urxvt not getting background pixmap updates
403 and flickering after bg pixmap changes (reported by Mikachu).
404 - fix redraw bug in xterm scrollbar with -sr (reported by Mikachu).
405 - correctly provide dependencies for libev (µikachu).
406 - minor code reorganisations and cleanups.
407 - be more robust in case the urxvt-popup extension cannot be loaded.
408
4098.8 Sat Dec 15 19:40:39 CET 2007
410 - option -C was aliased to all unsupported options, activating
411 options that shouldn't be compiled in, leading to interesting
412 effects.
413 - updated libev, working around a bug in linux 2.4, curing the
414 symptom of urxvt not closing its window on shell exit. also
415 fixes a problem with urxvt not refreshing.
416 - the text blink callback was called even when no blinking
417 text was visible.
