20 - disable kqueue on anything but netbsd as it seems to be broken 22TODO: perl-shell-window?
23TODO: zweimal numlock? falsche codes rxvt urxvt for numpad?
24 - port to glibc-2.10 changes (strchr etc. returning const char *
25 in C++), based on patches by Milos Jakubicek and Oliver Mader.
26 - the binary search algorithm to find precomposed characters
27 was faulty, skipping some possible combinations (found by
28 Mikachu).
29 - new -letterspace option, patch by Mark H. Wilkinson.
30 - enable --mlock option for urxvt with frills on
31 systems supporting it (patch by Russell Harmon).
32 - urxvt did not compile without frills enabled
33 (analysed by Matthew Rosewarne).
34 - correctly reset the mbstate after an illegal
35 input sequence when handling terminal output (Emanuele Giaquinta).
36 - avoid redrawing wide characters with combining enabled on every
37 refresh (reported by Mikachu).
38 - fix a typo preventing the ISO-646.1991 character set from being
39 recognized (http://achurch.org/patch-pile/).
40 - better warning for x11 font encoding detection failures, also,
41 try to deduce encoding from both font properties and name
42 (adapted from http://achurch.org/patch-pile/).
43 - resizing the window with the scrollbar disabled via the escapes
44 sequence could make the window bigger again (Mikachu).
45 - make sure the alignment for fd passing control messages
46 is correct and work around some NetBSD issues (Taylor R Campbell).
47 - update to libptytty 1.3.
48 - replace maxosc-pastebin by a nicer version by Reza Jelveh, and move
49 the old version to macosx-pastebin-native.
50 - document the -uc option (exg).
51 - assertions in libev are now enabled depending on frills.
52 - update AnyEvent implementation to version 5.23 API.
53 - work around arrogant bsd idiocies again: netbsd spills the default
54 namespace with lots of symbols "for gnu/gcc compatibility" even
55 though neither of them does it, and then calls the rest of the world
56 in need of fixing. go figure.
57 - on_keyboard_command is on_user_command (patch by Michael Witten).
58 - setting the selection from perl will now reset the selection screen
59 to the current screen. the srceen can be manipulated using
60 the new ->selection_screen method.
61 - implement --enable-assert configure option and get rid of DEBUG_STRICT
62 (based on patch by exg).
63 - upgrade to libev-3.9 prerelease.
64
659.06 Sat Nov 8 17:47:18 CET 2008
66 - NOTICE: this release updates terminfo/termcap.
67 - updates libev to 3.48.
68 - the aterm code now frees the as visual and image manager objects
69 when a window was closed.
70 - do not (wrongly) adjust the virtual line length inside
71 scr_insdel_chars/ERASE (Miroslav Lichvar).
72 - fix an issue where wide tab characters caused character shifts
73 when part of them was deleted (tracked down by Miroslav Lichvar).
74 - artificially enlargen the previous character at the end of a line
75 when trying to output a character that doesn't fit. looks ugly, but
76 makes copy&paste work.
77 - remove bogus "setuid/setgid security issues" from rxvt.1.pod, they
78 no longer apply.
79 - the urgency hint is now cleared on both focus in and focus out.
80 - cache urgency hint locally to avoid server rtt on every focus change.
81 - perl 5.10 needs PERL_SYS_INIT3 on hppa.
82 - ignore byte-order marks and do not treat them like combining characters.
83 - fix build issue when CURSOR_BLINK is not defined (Emanuele Giaquinta).
84 - do some µ-optimisations to the character fast path.
85 - use a less cunning, but more robust algorithm to avoid one terminal
86 monopolising the whole process by outputting a lot of text.
87 - try to work around linux first breaking sched_yield and now breaking
88 the only known workaround.
89 - new option -icon to set _NET_WM_ICON (based on patch by Frank Schmitt).
90 - initialise the as visual only on demand, instead of unconditionally,
91 to save memory in the common case of not using visual gimmicks.
92 - try to work around bugs in a few wm's that errornously resize
93 client windows on hint property updates by temporarily
94 disabling size hints.
95 - implement the DECSTR soft reset sequence and use it for tput init,
96 and make hard RIS and DECSTR both reset more private modes, such
97 as mouse reporting.
98 - redundantly clear mouse reporting and a few other states in
99 tput init/tput reset, for older urxvts.
100 - partial/full clear screens did cause flickering and possibly pixel
101 droppings when urxvt viewed the scrollback buffer.
102 - use current rendition style in DCH sequence.
103 - the 132/80 mode switch no longer forces a screen reset.
104 - add an osc sequence to change the border colour (Emanuele Giaquinta).
105 - new perl extension "overlay-osc", for status displays and the like.
106 - fix some minor cursor drawing issues with overlays by allowing
107 overlays to modify screen flags (to disable the cursor themselves).
108 - work around programs not restoring rstyle before rmcup
109 (analysed by Miroslav Lichvar).
110
1119.05 Sun Jun 15 20:09:20 CEST 2008
112 - new option --cd/chdir to set the starting working directory.
113 - tabbed extension now starts in the "correct" working directory.
114 - work around fedora 9 providing isastream but not the relevant
115 header file for it (report by Tuncer Ayaz).
116 - upgrade libev, fixing a bug in the select backend.
117 with more than 31 file descriptors on non-linux 64 bit systems.
118 - correctly reset the multibyte state to the initial one
119 after EILSEQ (patch by Neil Booth). This fixes the
120 issue of rxvt-unicode not properly displaying text after an illegal
121 sequence on NetBSD and probably other systems.
122 - more intelligent property handling with -pe tabbed, works around
123 broken window managers (kwm et al.), saves bandwidth and should
124 help working window managers as well.
125 - made tabs moveable (based on a patch by Petr Machata).
126 - implement ESC [ 3 K as a more rational alternative to ESC [ 0 K.
127 - support relative paths for RXVT_SOCKET in urxvtd.
128 - the tabbed extension now blindly copies over all (rxvt-) resources
129 from the toplevel window to the children.
130 - better diagnostic on 0x0 window geometries.
131 - update AnyEvent API to version 3.4 and above.
132 - document the default value of :0 for DISPLAY.
133 - rename perl method XChangeWindowProperty to XChangeProperty.
134
1359.02 Tue Jan 29 11:58:36 CET 2008
136 - the "exg makes everybody happy" release.
137 - fix build with !xft.
138 - always compile in plain style scrollbar (simplifies code and looks great).
139
1409.01 Sat Jan 26 20:49:27 CET 2008
141 - be more aggressive about handling X events, this seems to be required
142 with newer xlibs (should fix the "screen stays black until event is
143 received" problem, again :)
144 - add buffered resource to control xft double-buffering.
145
1469.0 Fri Jan 25 19:34:04 CET 2008
147 - fix a crash bug where urxvtd would crash when urxvtc was called
148 with wrong arguments (I wish debian maintainers in general would
149 report bugs and their proposed fixes to the original package maintainers
150 instead of sitting on them for good measure to see if anybody notices).
151 - drawing xft compose characters was causing garbage to be drawn.
152 - correctly clear xft character background in all cases.
153 - implement bracketed paste mode (xterm private mode 2004).
154 - improve documentation on alpha channel handling, make urxvt
155 work better on servers lacking the RENDER extension when alpha
156 channels or background images are used.
157 - check for refresh after initialising to avoid staying blank
158 till the first event arrives. or so.
159 - the FORCE_UNBUFFERED_XFT feature macro works again.
160 - continuously update transparency while moving/resizing now.
161 - OSC 39/49 are deprecated and aliased to OSC 10/11.
162 - cub1 now acts as advertised (and ignores the "wrapped" state).
163 - the 132/80 mode switch now forces a height of 24, too, and
164 resets the terminal.
165 - scrollbar code cleanups.
166 - stopping children is no longer confused with children exiting.
167 - removed (undocumented) #aarrggbb format.
168 - updated to libev 3.0.
169
1708.9 Mon Dec 24 07:51:40 CET 2007
171 - fix the issue where urxvtd would not immediately close a window
172 when the command exited but only on the next X event.
173 - changed terminfo file not to use application keypad mode.
174 - fix the issue where making a selection in one urxvtd window
175 would not clear it visually in another.
176 - fix an issue of urxvt not getting background pixmap updates
177 and flickering after bg pixmap changes (reported by Mikachu).
178 - fix redraw bug in xterm scrollbar with -sr (reported by Mikachu).
179 - correctly provide dependencies for libev (µikachu).
180 - minor code reorganisations and cleanups.
181 - be more robust in case the urxvt-popup extension cannot be loaded.
182
1838.8 Sat Dec 15 19:40:39 CET 2007
184 - option -C was aliased to all unsupported options, activating
185 options that shouldn't be compiled in, leading to interesting
186 effects.
187 - updated libev, working around a bug in linux 2.4, curing the
188 symptom of urxvt not closing its window on shell exit. also
189 fixes a problem with urxvt not refreshing.
190 - the text blink callback was called even when no blinking
191 text was visible.
192 - pre-8.4 slipwheeling behaviour has been reinstated, with
193 some minor improvements.
194 - streamlined x events processing to only flush once per
195 display and not once per terminal window.
196 - quite a bit of minor code cleanups and codesize optimisations.
197
1988.7 Sun Nov 25 10:23:49 CET 2007
199 - update libev with an important bugfix that would cause crashes
200 when closing windows (when using rxvtd, and update is recommended).
201 - do not compile in the block builtin graphics with --disable-frills.
202
2038.6 Fri Nov 23 14:10:57 CET 2007
204 - upgrade libev to disable kqueue on anything but netbsd as it
21 everywhere else w.r.t. ptys. 205 seems to be broken everywhere else w.r.t. ptys.
206 - allow for spurious event notifications, as at least epoll and
207 especially solaris ports like to lie about them (symptoms:
208 urxvt "hangs" until there is some x11 related activity).
209 - -keysym command line options are now subjected to xlib parsing.
210 - add 'xrm' option analogous to Xt one.
