1TODO: switch default keypad mode to cope for broken apps. 1rxvt-unicode changelog <= google-friendly title
2TODO: manpage 900mb update 2
3TODO: safer command: keymap processing. 3TODO: init_secondary serves what purpose? maybe move it to earlier startup phase and re-think
4TODO: xcopyarea pass broken, fix and improve
5TODO: event mechanism that replaces on_keyboard_command with something more scalable.
6TODO: slipwheeling needs a keyboard grab to get key release events.

4TODO: "slow" rendering mode for bidi and scripts 8TODO: "slow" rendering mode for bidi and scripts, pango!
5TODO: read property sequence is broken with respect to utf-8 etc. 9TODO: read property sequence is broken with respect to utf-8 etc.
6WISH: keyboard modification via esc-sequences. 10TODO: slow drag selection on remote display - other things seem fast (rxvt illness, motion hints?)
7WISH: line-rewrapping on resize 11TODO: investigate -pe tabbed -g 80x25 being 23 not 24 or 25 lines
8WISH: searchable backlog 12 => when setting the constraints, the wm might (correctly)
9WISH: meta-tagging of data by regex (my dream project) 13 resize the outer window, which might result in a smaller window overall.
10WISH: double-click: more intelligent (urls etc.) 14 or something like that. guys, send me a patch.
11WISH: OnTheSpot editing, or maybe switch to miiiiiiif 15WISH: selection-color-pair instead of reverse video
12WISH: tabbed windows (hey, just use screen...) 16WISH: load system-wide config file even if we don't have one
13WISH: just for fun, do shade and tint with XRender. 17WISH: look into XAddConnectionWatch, does anybody need that?
18DUMB: support tex fonts
14 19
20 - disable kqueue on anything but netbsd as it seems to be broken
21 everywhere else w.r.t. ptys.
22
238.5a Wed Nov 21 10:16:33 CET 2007
24 - make it compile with --disable-transparency.
25
268.5 Wed Nov 21 05:19:20 CET 2007
27 - expect major portability issues in this release: please test and report.
28 - converted from the veritable io manager event loop to
29 the high performance libev (http://software.schmorp.de/pkg/libev).
30 - minor tuning to the perl selection (include single words and more quoting chars).
31 - fix memory leak in pixmap code.
32 - fix a serious bug while setting the XIM destroy callback
33 on (typical) 64 bit systems.
34 - automove-background functionality re-implemented internaly using :root op in pixmap
35 geometry string. For example: rxvt -pixmap "image.jpg;:root"
36 - do not link rxvtc against every lib on the planet anymore.
37 - parallel builds should work once more.
38
398.4 Sat Oct 27 14:02:13 CEST 2007
40 - overhaul of the transparency/pixmap code (sasha).
41 - fix possible race betwen visual bell and poweron.
42 (reported by Martin von Gagern, gentoo?).
43 - urxvt -e no longer crashes the child.

49
508.3 Wed Aug 1 20:21:31 CEST 2007
51 - new option: skipScroll/-ss, enabled by default.
52 - go with the times and expect x11 library files in /usr/lib, not
53 /usr/X11R6/lib.
54 - initial transparency improvement/afterimage support
55 patch by Sasha Vasko.
56 - add urgentOnBell resource to set the urgency hint
57 (patch by Philip Paeps).
58 - do not process focus events caused by grabs
59 (patch by Mikachu).
60 - add iso14755_52 resource to disable iso14755 5.2 (exg).
61 - add binding for backspace in iso14755 5.1 to remove the last

71
728.2 Sat Feb 17 21:35:28 CET 2007
73 - fix make depend in src/, reported by exg.
74 - fixed typo in urxvt::GET_CUSTOM, causing the result to be wrong.
75 (patch by Sergey Vlasov).
76 - unbundled iom perl interface somewhat.
77 - scrollbar-xterm now uses the selected scrollColor instead of fg
78 (found by Aiviru).
79 - disabled linux kernel bug workaround again: disabling it gives
80 a 50% speed hit on affected machines, while enabling it gives
81 a similar speed hit to screen, which is likely the more common
82 case to work around for :/
83 - urxvt::rend2mask perl function, and utilization of it by matcher
84 (patch by Moshe Kamensky).
85 - use perl:matcher on a keysym to open most recently displayed URL.
86 - with matcher, when multiple patterns match, last wins, not first.
87 - fix make and make install with srcdir != builddir (exg).
88 - updated bundled libptytty to fix a bug where the tty would be kept
89 open (see the libptytty ChangeLog for details).
90 - delay setting the IUTF8 flag to after the tty settings have been
91 set so its value does not get lost (reported and analysed by Andrei
92 Paskevich).
93 - rip out support for obsolete sgtty.h interface.
94 - rip out support for non-POSIX termios variants.
95 - update libptytty.
96 - update iom.C, make it call ptytty::sanitise_stdfd on init.
97 - when !XFT, change rounding of colours to use a less correct formula to
98 meet user expectancies (#aaa becomes #a000a000a000 not #9f9f9f9f9f9f).
99 - change the starting offset of the pixmap set with backgroundPixmap
100 from (50,50) to (0,0) (exg).
101 - fix a typo in button_release, now meta-button2 request the value of
102 the Clipboard selection as it should (patch by Serge Koksharov).
103 - fix a bug in drawing a cell with a nonspacing char when using an xft
104 font with inheritPixmap and tintColor (exg).
105
1068.1 Thu Dec 7 22:27:25 CET 2006
107 - ケリスマスプレゼント - zomg!!1, it's too early!!!
108 - fix the assumption that chars < 256 are single-width. Now
109 only assume this for codepoints 32 to 126 (reported by Dai.H.).
110 - $term->strwidth returned wide chars as width 1, because some jerk
111 confused min and max. Fixing this also fixes xim-onthespot.
112 Reported by Takano Akio.
113 - secondaryScroll is now enabled by default (as per the manpage),
114 reported by exg.
115 - correct the description of [percent]color rgba format in the manpage.
116 - incorporated macosx-clipboard extension by Samuel Ljungkvist.
117 - ignore (some) useless focus events (reported by mmc).
118 - updated compose table to unicode 5.0.0.
119
1208.0 Thu Nov 2 18:35:19 CET 2006
121 - combining characters cleared the area instead of creating an overlay,
122 thus losing the ability to draw combining characters properly in most
123 circumstances (reported by exg).
124 - specified fonts were incorrectly morphed to bold/italic according to the
125 basefont, even if explicitly specified (tracked down by tpope).
126 - fixed urxvt::strwidth to calculate width in the same way as screen.C.
127 - fix a crash caused by passing negative widths to overlay functions.
128 - added 'matcher' extension by tpope, replacing the mark-urls extension.
129 - improve url regex to match anything www.* (tpope).
130 - fixed bug with outline cursor color being wrong after xft fonts.
131 - update to libptytty-1.0.
132 - give proper diagnostic when RXVT_SOCKET is too long instead of
133 corrupting the stack (patch by exg).
134 - display current terminal locale in option menu.
135 - urxvtd no longer crashes when the client sends an inaccessible
136 working directory (reported by Roland Baer, possibly fixes gentoo
137 bug #143985).
138 - fixed many minor issues reported by Roland Baer.
139 - Leonid Khramov spotted a minor glitch in rxvtfont.C that
140 should not have any consequences, but was buggy nonetheless.
141 - manpage fix by exg.
142
1437.9 Mon Aug 7 18:16:07 CEST 2006
144 - fix the crashing bug people encountered with 7.8 + urxvtd + perl
145 + transparency. Ought to fix debian bug #380348.
146 - fix urxvtc.1.pod: it actually claimed -pty-fd would not work. But
147 it does! :->
148 - rxvt_fatal() in case the locale string is too long for our static buffer.
149 - fixed many, many, typos in the manpages (patch supplied by ves).
150
1517.8 Mon Jul 17 21:00:46 CEST 2006
152 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: this version will always read ~/.Xdefaults,
153 earlier versions only read it if display-resources (usually from
154 .Xresources) are not set. This avoids the #1 FAQ ("why isn't my
155 resource used") and seems to be logical behaviour, too. .Xdefaults
156 resources have a lower priority than display-specific resources.
157 - add "kuake" perl extension that does a similar thing to the kuake
158 terminal emulator (see man urxtvperl).
159 - use less "correct" color scaling that is compatible with libX11 and
160 Xft (avoids off-by-one colors resulting in striped backgrounds).
161 - the "depth" resource is now respected.
162 - preset the searchable-scrollback pattern with "(?i)" to default search
163 to case-insensitivity. Will automatically be cleared when typing an
164 uppercase character.
165 - add FORCE_UNBUFFERED_XFT define to features.h.
166 - re-enabled highlightcolor support with --enable-frills, based on
167 a patch by Martin Stubenschrott.
168 - double-buffered xft drawing did suffer from pixel offset issues
169 when pixmap transparency was enabled.
170 - strategically add # to the url-match regexes, as we really want to
171 match common URIs not common URLs. Reported by Aaron Griffin.
172 - moved on_osc_seq to on_osc_seq_perl and added a more
173 generic osc_seq.
174 - fix a bug causing double callback invocations when perl hooks
175 were invoked recursively.
176 - the automove-background extension now properly works when the
177 pixmap gets reset with an osc sequence (sqweek).
178 - selection-pastebin did not work properly with non-latin1-characters.
179 - apply colorUL only when the text colour is the default fg
180 (patch by Wu Fengguang).
181 - removed rxvtlib.h from the tarball, it had no reason to be there
182 (spotted by Decklin Foster).
183 - fix compiling with TRANSPARENT but !XPM_BACKGROUND, as reported
184 by omatunto_.
185 - slap in a using namespace std, might help on platforms that don't
186 follow C++ closely enough.
187 - fix mailto url regex, spotted within milliseconds by Jost Krieger.
188 - applied fade_color_update_func.patch by WU Fengguang.
189 - fix a bug where (due to an optimisation in av_delete), hiding the
190 bottom-most overlay would hide two overlays.
191
1927.7 Tue Feb 21 12:32:49 CET 2006
193 - use double-buffered drawing (xft fonts only). On many driver/hardware
194 combination this actually increases xft drawing speed, at the expense
195 of more network bandwidth and slight nausea on the side of the author.
196 - readline perl extension now requires shift-click instead of a normal
197 click, and eats the click.
198 - tabbed perl extension now supports -e.
199 - disabled graphics-exposures on the main drawing GC, report any
200 refresh bugs please.
201 - improve property handling for -pe tabbed: avoid unnecessary property
202 changes (for kde's benefit) at the expense of extra round-trips,
203 improve size hint setting.
204 - modified XIM according to a patch sent by Takano Akio that sets
205 the preedit rectangle for OverTheSpot, which helps some input methods
206 to correctly position their preedit window.
207 - un-optimise the line clearing on newly scrolled-in lines a bit: the
208 former reasoning was that any fg colour on default bg looks the same
209 in empty spaces, but thats not true when reversing (e.g. selection),
210 so also check for matching fg colours. This fixes the problem where
211 selecting newly scrolled-in lines would exhibit wrong colours.
212 - fix a bug in the perl interface causing focus in events to generate
213 focus out perl events, causing bad focus effects with -pe tabbed.
214 - fix a race resulting in a crash on exiting.
215 - fix a with --disable-xft that caused xfreecolors to be called on
216 colors never allocated, resulting in aborts (reported by Paco-Paco).
217 - resources on non-initial screens weren't refetched correctly
218 (reported by Paco-Paco).
219 - fix a bug in xcopyarea pass and _disable_ it, as it seems not to be
220 working in either rxvt-unicode nor in the original rxvt.
221 - removed undocumented -exec alias for the -e option.
222
2237.6 Fri Feb 10 08:52:36 CET 2006
224 - changed interpretation of [alpha] colour prefix.
225 - +option now really sets the option to default, instead of using the
226 resource value.
227 - options that require an argument now really _require_ an argument.
228 - the tabbed extension now forwards focus and keys events to th
229 relevant tab window.
230 - tab colours are now configurable and have sensible defaults
231 (initial patch by hednod).
232 - option menu is extendable, readline, selection and
233 selection-autotransform can now be disabled/enabled at runtime.
234 - forcing a configure event to tabbed subwindows with -pe tabbed, for
235 the benefit of automove-background.
236 - the automove-background extension added a wrong constant offset.
237 - force refresh of XA_RESOURCE_STRING on virtual reconnect.
238 - return exit status 2 in urxvtc when urxvtd couldn't be contacted.
239 - the linux yield hack is back, now using usleep, and enabled only on
240 __linux__.
241 - further round trip eliminations in the !XFT case by remembering
242 the colour components.
243 - plain scrollbar works better with -sr.
244 - fixed half-shadow scrollbar look.
245 - more colour rtt optimisations.
246 - properly(?) free colours on window close.
247 - reorganised the FAQ into multiple sections.
248 - add ISO646.1991-IRV to the list of supported codesets.
249 - minor libptytty update.
250
2517.5 Tue Jan 31 15:15:43 CET 2006
252 - further improvements to the careful mode detection, and font width
253 detection:
254 - fully double-wide fonts will now be correctly treated,
255 - overlap detection was improved.
256 - detect totally broken fonts (usually synthesized by xft).
257 - careful mode forced refresh sometimes clashed with blinking,
258 causing unnecessary screen redraws.
259 - better handling of XFT combining characters.
260 - enable antialiasing for some replacement fonts, as they
261 might get used for other encodings which really need it, later.
262 - remove spacing=100 from all default fonts, as this creates totally
263 weird spacing (5 times normal) with xft.
264 - removed iso10646 fallback, as xorgs iso10646 encoded fonts are mostly
265 broken.
266 - removed gnu unifont fallback, all combining characters are broken.
267 - replace named colours by xorg's rgb.txt equivalents, to
268 reduce round trip time on startup, and short-cut allocation
269 of rgb:rr/gg/bb for xft.
270 - short-cut allocation of rgb values in the xlib case
271 (patch by Paco-Paco).
272 - overhauled color management: smaller codesize, alpha support.
273 - support "rgba:rrrr/gggg/bbbb/aaaa" color specifications and
274 an "[alpha]" prefix.
275 - try to work around Xft and Xrender forcing everything to be 100%
276 transparent. Long Live Xft!
277 - do not include X11/Intrinsic.h anymore, directly use
278 Xlib/Xutil/Xresource directly.
279 - try to find a nearest matching color when color allocation fails
280 on a pseudocolor screen.
281 - SYNCCVS: compared to rxvt-cvs 2006-01-28, no relevant changes.
282 - fix version report (DA) (which was unfortunately broken).
283 - changed version number report again, now to emulate xterm closer.
284 - added the OSC sequence 702 to detect the urxvt version number.
285 - small configure updates.
286 - further RTT optimisations.
287 - backported clean-up patches for makefiles and documentation from
288 the debian package.
289 - updated doc/rxvt-unicode.spec file. It's still not maintained here,
290 but much newer than the old one.
291
2927.4 Sat Jan 28 15:26:27 CET 2006
293 - screen background wasn't always erased properly when scrolling,
294 - re-enabled clearing optimisation disabled in 7.4pre.
295 - small configure updates for libptytty.
296 - fixed version options: line output.
297 - removed stoopid debugging message left in the code.
298
2997.3 Wed Jan 25 22:47:35 CET 2006
300 - don't let iso14755 or mouse reporting get into the way of perl
301 (could lead to global grabs never being cleared).
302 - experimental OnTheSpot editing support (-pe xim-onthespot).
303 - moved Shift-Button2 paste combination to Meta-Button2.
304 - the cutchars resource will now be respected and used by the
305 selection extension.
306 - added the "remote-clipboard" extension which just runs external
307 commands to fetch and store the selection data.
308 - added -depth switch that tries to get a different visual depth
309 than the default (replaces the old PREFER_24_BIT logic).
310 - removed (unused) arabic presentation form composing sequences.
311 - be more strict when deciding that a core font glyph is too wide and
312 needs the careful rendering mode.
313 - allow more leeway for italic fonts when deciding that a character is
314 too wide and needs careful mode.
315 - redraw even more characters around characters using careful mode.
316 - made selection-pastebin fully asynchronous.
317 - reduced number of server turnarounds at startup by allocating
318 atoms only once per display.
319 - renamed on_keyboard_command to on_user_command.
320 - changed version sos (ESC [ > c) response to be more compatible with
321 xterm.
322
3237.2 Sun Jan 22 21:58:16 CET 2006
324 - bugfix: urxvt (not urxvtd) did not correctly handle multiple
325 environments necessary, which resulted in segfaults within
326 getenv (reproducable: urxvt -fn 9x15, open a menu once,
327 ctrl-shift-672c).
328 - bugfix: the selection speedup in in 7.1 unfortunately caused
329 non-ascii characters to enlarge/move the selection.
330 - bugfix: resizing sometimes leaked lines from the secondary to
331 the primary screen.
332 - bugfix: reducing window size while large amounts of text were output
333 could lead to an assertion failure.
334 - added "tabbed" extension that provides a crude tabbed terminal.
335 - added "readline" extension that allows cursor positioning
336 via mouse clicks.
337 - now it is possible to insert the value of the CLIPBOARD selection
338 with shift - mouse button 2.
339 - fixed the automove-background extension to ignore coordinates
340 in non-synthetic events.
341 - created a separate libpty for portable and secure
342 pty/tty/utmp/wtmp/lastlog handling, and include it in rxvt-unicode.
343 - the non-terminfo visual bell now works asynchronously, so
344 continuous ASCI BELs in one terminal do no longer monopolise the
345 whole urxvt[d] process.
346 - support some *BSD makes (for the time being, gnu make is a safe bet).
347 - work around bugs in FreeBSD's gcc.
348 - implemented some *BSD fixes in configure.
349 - removed support for obsolete offix dnd protocol.
350
3517.1 Thu Jan 19 20:25:34 CET 2006
352 - setuid/setgid operation is now _encouraged_: security has been
353 improved by moving privileged operations into a separate process
354 and permanently dropping privileges within the terminal. This
355 makes it possible to remove security checks from the perl code
356 and gives a much safer feeling when urxvt needs to run with
357 special privileges.
358 - perl taint checking disabled, as urxvt no longer runs setuid/setgid
359 itself.
360 - new perl extension automove-background that can be used to get
361 the same effect as pseudo-transparency with any pixmap.
362 - new perl extension example: perl/selection-pastebin, can be used to
363 e.g. upload the selection to a webserver and generate a url, or
364 similar stuff.
365 - use the scrollback buffer even when the scroll region doesn't
366 span the whole screen, as long as it starts at row 0. Helps
367 for programs displaying a status line at the bottom.
368 - selection popup now shows selection in dec/hex/oct.
369 - perl/selection: matching on unicode characters in the selection
370 code was O(n²), which equals infinity in some degenerate cases
371 :-> Matching is now done on UTF-8, which makes it almost instant.
372 - perl/selection, perl/selection-autotransform: regexes are now
373 being interpreted in the locale urxvt was started.
374 - implemented override-redirect option and enabled it on menus,
375 as kwin puts our windows behind the terminal (what a shoddy wm).
376 - fixed struct utmp check in configure for OpenBSD.
377 - complete overhaul of the pty/utmp management stuff and configure
378 (Emanuele Giaquinta).
379 - add tsl/fsl and related capabilities to the terminfo description,
380 to set the window title.
381 - swap the environment in some more cases. This hopefully fixes
382 some segfaults that might be caused by xft asking for env variables
383 at the wrong time.
384 - removed src/strings.C and src/menubar.C. No menubar support
385 anymore.
386 - removed all traces of SMOOTH_REFRESH.
387 - nuked QNX support.
388 - made some fixes to xpm offset and scaling code.
389 - perl-overlays and refresh hooks were not applied in correct order.
390 - changed coordinate-system of view_start/nsaved to be top to bottom.
391 - iom extended to support listening for child exits.
392
3937.0 Fri Jan 13 14:02:18 CET 2006
394 - added sections for DISTRIBUTION MAINTAINERS and about
395 SETUID/SETGID to the FAQ.
396 - selection, searchable-scrollback, selection-popup and
397 option-popup extensions enabled by default.
398 - increased xft drawing speed for problematic fonts. The effect
399 will likely be small as 99% of the xft slowness is server-related.
400 - perl: much increased functionality, better overlays, popup support
401 and much much more.
402 - perl: urxvt::line now can set via ->t and ->r.
403 - perl: changed interpretation of --perl-ext-common and -pe.
404 - perl: finally implemented --perl-eval.
405 - perl: non-blocking anyevent support.
406 - perl: run tainted and ignore perl-eval/perl-lib if started
407 setuid/setgid.
408 - free the resource database: this plugs a massive memory leak. As a
409 side effect, it also gets rid of XGetDefault calls.
410 - free one of the cursors, fixes a small memory leak.
411 - built-in (as opposed to terminfos) visual bell was broken/too fast.
412 - applied minor cleanups by Ladislav Michnovic.
413 - applied pty handling cleanups and improvements (Emanuele Giaquinta).
414 - mark-urls launch-on-click by jepler.
415 - removed "small" resource parsing function, as it wasn't really
416 compatible, and not really small either.
417 - removed PATH_ENV and PATH file search support.
418 - removed support for locale-specific app-defaults file.
419 - fixed a bug where out-of-bounds colour sequences could lead
420 to crashes.
421 - limit colour changing to the standard 88 palette instead of all
422 colours.
423 - XTerm_Color01 sequence returned wrong results in query mode.
424 - iom.C now checks against destructed io_manager when unregistering.
425
4266.3 Wed Jan 4 22:37:10 CET 2006
427 - SECURITY FIX: on systems using openpty, permissions were
428 not correctly updated on the tty device and were left as
429 world-readable and world-writable (likely in original rxvt,
430 too), and were not restored properly. Affected are only
431 systems where non-unix ptys were used (such as most BSDs, not
432 GNU/Linux). (found, patched and debugged by Ryan Beasley).
433 - meta8 support was forcefully enabled in most configurations.
434 restored configurability of this (useless) feature (reported
435 by Mikachu).
436 - optionally embed a perl interpreter, which can be used for more
437 intelligent/customized selection support, visual feedback,
438 menus, tabs etc. See the the urxvtperl manpage, the -pe option,
439 perl*-resources and keysym resources. Not everything is there yet.
440 - try to be more clever about differing font sizes and their ascent.
441 Not guarenteed to work, but works better in most cases now.
442 - fix directory permissions on install.
443 - implemented option to disable built-in line drawing characters
444 and fall back to the font ones (patch by Martin Pohlack).
445 - disabled sched_yield support: the linux version is just too useless
446 (it schedules nice'd processes before the own one for extended
447 periods). Too bad, it could reduce system time by a factor of 5 here.
448
4496.2 Mon Jan 2 16:03:01 CET 2006
450 - implemented intensityStyles option which enables/disables bold/blink
451 selecting high intensity foreground/background colours, suggested by
452 Chuck Blake.
453 - move iso14755 character feedback box out of the way if it would
454 obscure the mouse cursor position.
455 - replaced callback.h by a fixed version from gvpe that correctly
456 returns the callback result (affects new -pty-fd semantics in urxvtc
457 on a few architectures). Reported by darix.
458 - include one trailing space in rectangular selections to indicate
459 the inserted newline (yeah, weird, but visually more pleasing).
460 - try to use sched_yield to (drastically) improve terminal data
461 transfer efficiency.
462 - further minor cleanups.
463
4646.1 Tue Dec 27 13:23:40 CET 2005
465 - update iso8859-7 table (euro and drachma round-trip et al.).
466 - fix a crash when the selection scrolls out of the scrollback
467 while the user still drags.
468 - selections that were partially scrolled out of the window were
469 not drawn correctly.
470 - lines newly scrolled in were not initialized properly, leading
471 to extremely long lines and (hopefully) some segfaults.
472 - iso14755 overlay position was wrong.
473 - iso14755 overlay now displays rendition info, too.
474 - use unicode white space class instead of hardcoded values for
475 stripping whitespace.
476 - do whitespace stripping on rectangular selections.
477 - slight cleanups in src/features.h.
478
4796.0 Sat Dec 24 13:58:56 CET 2005
480 - make it compile without SMART_RESIZE again.
481 - enable slow link support by default.
482 - fix relative cursor-positioning not respecting scrolling regions
483 (also a bug in original rxvt).
484 - initialize termios structure to zero when fetching it fails
485 (see http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=84647 for a
486 partial patch).
487 - bump max columns/rows to 10000 each.
488 - bump max savelines to 10000000.
489 - -pty-fd now passes the urxvtc fd to the urxvtd process.
490 - avoid linking against -lnsl/-lsocket/-lxpg4 unless neccessary.
491 - major code cleanup (still not complete, though).
492 - implement -hold option.
493 - _major_ rewrite of internal buffer handling:
494 - re-flow on resize, lines get wrapped instead of winged.
495 - circular line buffer (substantially speeds up scrolling).
496 - slightly less code + data memory usage per terminal.
497 - slight overall speed improvements.
498 - considerably improved code clarity.
499 - partial-screen scrolls no longer end up in the scrollback
500 buffer.
501
5025.9 Sat Dec 17 21:53:17 CET 2005
503 - fix a bug in the menu code of unknown impact, found by darix.
504 - clean up signal handling to be global, not per terminal
505 (matters only for rxvtd).
506 - fix small typoe in rxvt.1 (found by Mike Fabian).
507 - don't crash when broken xft/fontconfig/freetype versions return
508 bogus data, ignore the xft font instead (experienced on suse).
509
5105.8 Tue Oct 25 22:21:45 CEST 2005
511 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: many configure options are now on by default.
512 If you want the old behaviour, try:
513 configure --disable-everything <your enable options>
514 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: -fade changed it's meaning to comply with
515 the documentation and common sense: when upgrading, replace your
516 percentage by 100-percentage.
517 - integrated "fade to specific colour" patch by Martin Parm.
518 - slow down the internal visual bell (delay by 20ms) and update
519 the terminfo flash code to use the same delay. This is
520 synchronous, so many bells might inhibit screen updates in other
521 windows.
522 - text with background==foreground colour gets displayed with default
523 bg/fg now when in reverse video, so it can be seen when selecting.
524 - allow koi8r* as x11 encoding name for koi8r (Nikita Danilov).
525 - removed undocumented inheritPixmapforce option.
526 - replaced INSTALL file.
527
5285.7 Wed Jul 13 04:46:33 CEST 2005
529 - implement some useful (hopefully) options for rxvtd.
530 - separate and improved rxvtc(1) and rxvtd(1) manpages.
531 - fix a bug that caused segfaults on startup on systems that do
532 not support local unix connections, e.g cygwin. (btw, I didn't
533 even know about the -rootless and -multiwindow Cygwin/X modes).
534 - large amounts of text without control sequences or newlines
535 could almost freeze output. This has been fixed by adding extra
536 refreshes in these cases (also a problem in original rxvt).
537
5385.6 Sun Jun 26 22:11:13 CEST 2005
539 - R_SB_RXVT bitset value was 0, so rxvt scrollbar was initialised
540 every time resulting in display errors (original rxvt also affected).
541 Reported by Jasmin Buchert.
542 - font names are now considered to be utf-8 encoded (xft apperently
543 uses this convention. X Core fonts might not, but it should be rare).
544 Affects display in iso14755 box.
545 - rewrote the low-level xft drawing function ("xft backend" for the
546 hipper parts of the world) to hopefully cope better with proportional
547 chars mixed with fixed-width ones.
548 - rxvt is now much more careful (read: slower) with potentially
549 overlapping xft characters. It usually overshoots and redraws
550 more than required, but that's better than undershooting and
551 cutting pieces off of characters.
552 - rxvt is now more restrictive in what font heights it accepts for
553 fonts that will likely overshoot or undershoot lines.
554 - fix a cosmetic problem with the unfocused cursor on a wide character
555 at the end of the line (reported by Mikachu).
556 - wide characters not fitting into the end of the line will be
557 output in the next line (reported by Mikachu).
558 - added doc/solaris9.patch by Ewgenij Starostin.
559
5605.5 Sat Apr 23 22:31:36 CEST 2005
561 - re-enabled modifer state matching as in 5.3, but implement
562 a new builtin: keysym style that simply reverts to the built-in
563 meaning of the given key.
564 - use scrollcolor for next scrollbar instead of hardcoded antiquewhite
565 (patch by Martin Edlman).
566
5675.4 Mon Apr 18 00:33:31 CEST 2005
568 - match modifier state exactly in custom keyboard code.
569 this is necessary because it has no knowledge about
570 built-in mappings and so will overwrite them. the priority-code
571 will be re-enabled when this has changed, so watch out.
572 - cursor blinking now depends on frills.
573 - underline cursor mode (frills, -uc).
574 - implement special value (*g*) for pointerBlankDelay
575 to disable it.
576
5775.3 Sun Mar 13 00:20:44 CET 2005
578 - fix a bug that allowed to overflow a buffer via a long
579 escape sequence, which is probably exploitable (fix by
580 Rob Holland / Yoann Vandoorselaere / Gentoo Audit Team).
581 - Custom key mappings no longer confuse mouse buttons
582 with modifiers.
583 - use XmbSetWMProperties instead of XSetWMProperties.
584 - properly update WM_LOCALE.
585 - implement _NET_WM_PING protocol.
586 - implemented escape sequences to move the scrollback buffer view
587 and clear the scrollback buffer.
588
5895.2 Sun Feb 20 01:48:59 CET 2005
590 - new option -pty-fd that makes the terminal a slave
591 that uses an existing pty for I/O instead of starting
592 a command.
593 - implement enough of XEMBED to allow for correct focus.
594 - added doc/embed-tk, an embedding example in Perl/Tk,
595 and doc/rxvt-tabbed, a primitive tabbed shell implemented
596 in Perl/Gtk2.
597 - fix assertion failure ("crash") on mousewheel-scrolling
598 when the terminal height is small, by removing the assert.
599 (reported by Mikael Magnusson).
