1TODO: do font request caching, might help rxvtd on some machines 1rxvt-unicode changelog <= google-friendly title
2TODO: safer command: keymap processing. 2
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.
7TODO: overlays collide with the way the out-of-focus cursor is being drawn
3TODO: "slow" rendering mode for bidi and scripts 8TODO: "slow" rendering mode for bidi and scripts, pango!
4TODO: read property sequence is broken with respect to utf-8 etc. 9TODO: read property sequence is broken with respect to utf-8 etc.
5WISH: keyboard modification via esc-sequences. 10TODO: slow drag selection on remote display - other things seem fast (rxvt illness, motion hints?)
6WISH: line-rewrapping on resize 11TODO: investigate -pe tabbed -g 80x25 being 23 not 24 or 25 lines
7WISH: searchable backlog 12 => when setting the constraints, the wm might (correctly)
8WISH: meta-tagging of data by regex (my dream project) 13 resize the outer window, which might result in a smaller window overall.
9WISH: double-click: more intelligent (urls etc.) 14 or something like that. guys, send me a patch.
10WISH: OnTheSpot editing, or maybe switch to miiiiiiif 15WISH: selection-color-pair instead of reverse video
11WISH: tabbed windows (hey, just use screen...) 16WISH: load system-wide config file even if we don't have one
12WISH: just for fun, do shade and tint with XRender. 17WISH: look into XAddConnectionWatch, does anybody need that?
18DUMB: support tex fonts
13 19
145.6 20 - option -C was aliased to all unsupported options, activating
21 options that shouldn't be compiled in, leading to interesting
22 effects.
23
248.7 Sun Nov 25 10:23:49 CET 2007
25 - update libev with an important bugfix that would cause crashes
26 when closing windows (when using rxvtd, and update is recommended).
27 - do not compile in the block builtin graphics with --disable-frills.
28
298.6 Fri Nov 23 14:10:57 CET 2007
30 - upgrade libev to disable kqueue on anything but netbsd as it
31 seems to be broken everywhere else w.r.t. ptys.
32 - allow for spurious event notifications, as at least epoll and
33 especially solaris ports like to lie about them (symptoms:
34 urxvt "hangs" until there is some x11 related activity).
35 - -keysym command line options are now subjected to xlib parsing.
36 - add 'xrm' option analogous to Xt one.
37
388.5a Wed Nov 21 10:16:33 CET 2007
39 - make it compile with --disable-transparency.
40
418.5 Wed Nov 21 05:19:20 CET 2007
42 - expect major portability issues in this release: please test and report.
43 - converted from the veritable io manager event loop to
44 the high performance libev (http://software.schmorp.de/pkg/libev).
45 - minor tuning to the perl selection (include single words and more quoting chars).
46 - fix memory leak in pixmap code.
47 - fix a serious bug while setting the XIM destroy callback
48 on (typical) 64 bit systems.
49 - automove-background functionality re-implemented internaly using :root op in pixmap
50 geometry string. For example: rxvt -pixmap "image.jpg;:root"
51 - do not link rxvtc against every lib on the planet anymore.
52 - parallel builds should work once more.
53
548.4 Sat Oct 27 14:02:13 CEST 2007
55 - overhaul of the transparency/pixmap code (sasha).
56 - fix possible race betwen visual bell and poweron.
57 (reported by Martin von Gagern, gentoo?).
58 - urxvt -e no longer crashes the child.
59 - fixed some minor memleaks on incorrect usage or
60 missing DISPLAY.
61 - implement xterm 1002/1003 mouse tracking modes (exg).
62 - source code organisational cleanups (exg).
63 - updated io_manager.
64
658.3 Wed Aug 1 20:21:31 CEST 2007
66 - new option: skipScroll/-ss, enabled by default.
67 - go with the times and expect x11 library files in /usr/lib, not
68 /usr/X11R6/lib.
69 - initial transparency improvement/afterimage support
70 patch by Sasha Vasko.
71 - add urgentOnBell resource to set the urgency hint
72 (patch by Philip Paeps).
73 - do not process focus events caused by grabs
74 (patch by Mikachu).
75 - add iso14755_52 resource to disable iso14755 5.2 (exg).
76 - add binding for backspace in iso14755 5.1 to remove the last
77 digit (exg).
78 - better option handling, support more than 30 options (exg).
79 - nuke reconf script, serves no purpose anymore.
80 - fixed and documented matcher/on_user_command processing in matcher
81 extension (tpope).
82 - compile out of the box on Solaris 10 (exg).
83 - fix MappingNotify events (reported by Stephan Walter).
84 - zero-initialise mwmhints, this seems to solve all sorts of minor
85 problems.
86
878.2 Sat Feb 17 21:35:28 CET 2007
88 - fix make depend in src/, reported by exg.
89 - fixed typo in urxvt::GET_CUSTOM, causing the result to be wrong.
90 (patch by Sergey Vlasov).
91 - unbundled iom perl interface somewhat.
92 - scrollbar-xterm now uses the selected scrollColor instead of fg
93 (found by Aiviru).
94 - disabled linux kernel bug workaround again: disabling it gives
95 a 50% speed hit on affected machines, while enabling it gives
96 a similar speed hit to screen, which is likely the more common
97 case to work around for :/
98 - urxvt::rend2mask perl function, and utilization of it by matcher
99 (patch by Moshe Kamensky).
100 - use perl:matcher on a keysym to open most recently displayed URL.
101 - with matcher, when multiple patterns match, last wins, not first.
102 - fix make and make install with srcdir != builddir (exg).
103 - updated bundled libptytty to fix a bug where the tty would be kept
104 open (see the libptytty ChangeLog for details).
105 - delay setting the IUTF8 flag to after the tty settings have been
106 set so its value does not get lost (reported and analysed by Andrei
107 Paskevich).
108 - rip out support for obsolete sgtty.h interface.
109 - rip out support for non-POSIX termios variants.
110 - update libptytty.
111 - update iom.C, make it call ptytty::sanitise_stdfd on init.
112 - when !XFT, change rounding of colours to use a less correct formula to
113 meet user expectancies (#aaa becomes #a000a000a000 not #9f9f9f9f9f9f).
114 - change the starting offset of the pixmap set with backgroundPixmap
115 from (50,50) to (0,0) (exg).
116 - fix a typo in button_release, now meta-button2 request the value of
117 the Clipboard selection as it should (patch by Serge Koksharov).
118 - fix a bug in drawing a cell with a nonspacing char when using an xft
119 font with inheritPixmap and tintColor (exg).
120
1218.1 Thu Dec 7 22:27:25 CET 2006
122 - ｹﾘｽﾏｽﾌ゚ﾚｾ゙ﾝﾄ - zomg!!1, it's too early!!!
123 - fix the assumption that chars < 256 are single-width. Now
124 only assume this for codepoints 32 to 126 (reported by Dai.H.).
125 - $term->strwidth returned wide chars as width 1, because some jerk
126 confused min and max. Fixing this also fixes xim-onthespot.
127 Reported by Takano Akio.
128 - secondaryScroll is now enabled by default (as per the manpage),
129 reported by exg.
130 - correct the description of [percent]color rgba format in the manpage.
131 - incorporated macosx-clipboard extension by Samuel Ljungkvist.
132 - ignore (some) useless focus events (reported by mmc).
133 - updated compose table to unicode 5.0.0.
134
1358.0 Thu Nov 2 18:35:19 CET 2006
136 - combining characters cleared the area instead of creating an overlay,
137 thus losing the ability to draw combining characters properly in most
138 circumstances (reported by exg).
139 - specified fonts were incorrectly morphed to bold/italic according to the
140 basefont, even if explicitly specified (tracked down by tpope).
141 - fixed urxvt::strwidth to calculate width in the same way as screen.C.
142 - fix a crash caused by passing negative widths to overlay functions.
143 - added 'matcher' extension by tpope, replacing the mark-urls extension.
144 - improve url regex to match anything www.* (tpope).
145 - fixed bug with outline cursor color being wrong after xft fonts.
146 - update to libptytty-1.0.
147 - give proper diagnostic when RXVT_SOCKET is too long instead of
148 corrupting the stack (patch by exg).
149 - display current terminal locale in option menu.
150 - urxvtd no longer crashes when the client sends an inaccessible
151 working directory (reported by Roland Baer, possibly fixes gentoo
152 bug #143985).
153 - fixed many minor issues reported by Roland Baer.
154 - Leonid Khramov spotted a minor glitch in rxvtfont.C that
155 should not have any consequences, but was buggy nonetheless.
156 - manpage fix by exg.
157
1587.9 Mon Aug 7 18:16:07 CEST 2006
159 - fix the crashing bug people encountered with 7.8 + urxvtd + perl
160 + transparency. Ought to fix debian bug #380348.
161 - fix urxvtc.1.pod: it actually claimed -pty-fd would not work. But
162 it does! :->
163 - rxvt_fatal() in case the locale string is too long for our static buffer.
164 - fixed many, many, typos in the manpages (patch supplied by ves).
165
1667.8 Mon Jul 17 21:00:46 CEST 2006
167 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: this version will always read ~/.Xdefaults,
168 earlier versions only read it if display-resources (usually from
169 .Xresources) are not set. This avoids the #1 FAQ ("why isn't my
170 resource used") and seems to be logical behaviour, too. .Xdefaults
171 resources have a lower priority than display-specific resources.
172 - add "kuake" perl extension that does a similar thing to the kuake
173 terminal emulator (see man urxtvperl).
174 - use less "correct" color scaling that is compatible with libX11 and
175 Xft (avoids off-by-one colors resulting in striped backgrounds).
176 - the "depth" resource is now respected.
177 - preset the searchable-scrollback pattern with "(?i)" to default search
178 to case-insensitivity. Will automatically be cleared when typing an
179 uppercase character.
180 - add FORCE_UNBUFFERED_XFT define to features.h.
181 - re-enabled highlightcolor support with --enable-frills, based on
182 a patch by Martin Stubenschrott.
183 - double-buffered xft drawing did suffer from pixel offset issues
184 when pixmap transparency was enabled.
185 - strategically add # to the url-match regexes, as we really want to
186 match common URIs not common URLs. Reported by Aaron Griffin.
187 - moved on_osc_seq to on_osc_seq_perl and added a more
188 generic osc_seq.
189 - fix a bug causing double callback invocations when perl hooks
190 were invoked recursively.
191 - the automove-background extension now properly works when the
192 pixmap gets reset with an osc sequence (sqweek).
193 - selection-pastebin did not work properly with non-latin1-characters.
194 - apply colorUL only when the text colour is the default fg
195 (patch by Wu Fengguang).
196 - removed rxvtlib.h from the tarball, it had no reason to be there
197 (spotted by Decklin Foster).
198 - fix compiling with TRANSPARENT but !XPM_BACKGROUND, as reported
199 by omatunto_.
200 - slap in a using namespace std, might help on platforms that don't
201 follow C++ closely enough.
202 - fix mailto url regex, spotted within milliseconds by Jost Krieger.
203 - applied fade_color_update_func.patch by WU Fengguang.
204 - fix a bug where (due to an optimisation in av_delete), hiding the
205 bottom-most overlay would hide two overlays.
206
2077.7 Tue Feb 21 12:32:49 CET 2006
208 - use double-buffered drawing (xft fonts only). On many driver/hardware
209 combination this actually increases xft drawing speed, at the expense
210 of more network bandwidth and slight nausea on the side of the author.
211 - readline perl extension now requires shift-click instead of a normal
212 click, and eats the click.
213 - tabbed perl extension now supports -e.
214 - disabled graphics-exposures on the main drawing GC, report any
215 refresh bugs please.
216 - improve property handling for -pe tabbed: avoid unnecessary property
217 changes (for kde's benefit) at the expense of extra round-trips,
218 improve size hint setting.
219 - modified XIM according to a patch sent by Takano Akio that sets
220 the preedit rectangle for OverTheSpot, which helps some input methods
221 to correctly position their preedit window.
222 - un-optimise the line clearing on newly scrolled-in lines a bit: the
223 former reasoning was that any fg colour on default bg looks the same
224 in empty spaces, but thats not true when reversing (e.g. selection),
225 so also check for matching fg colours. This fixes the problem where
226 selecting newly scrolled-in lines would exhibit wrong colours.
227 - fix a bug in the perl interface causing focus in events to generate
228 focus out perl events, causing bad focus effects with -pe tabbed.
229 - fix a race resulting in a crash on exiting.
230 - fix a with --disable-xft that caused xfreecolors to be called on
231 colors never allocated, resulting in aborts (reported by Paco-Paco).
232 - resources on non-initial screens weren't refetched correctly
233 (reported by Paco-Paco).
234 - fix a bug in xcopyarea pass and _disable_ it, as it seems not to be
235 working in either rxvt-unicode nor in the original rxvt.
236 - removed undocumented -exec alias for the -e option.
237
2387.6 Fri Feb 10 08:52:36 CET 2006
239 - changed interpretation of [alpha] colour prefix.
240 - +option now really sets the option to default, instead of using the
241 resource value.
242 - options that require an argument now really _require_ an argument.
243 - the tabbed extension now forwards focus and keys events to th
244 relevant tab window.
245 - tab colours are now configurable and have sensible defaults
246 (initial patch by hednod).
247 - option menu is extendable, readline, selection and
248 selection-autotransform can now be disabled/enabled at runtime.
249 - forcing a configure event to tabbed subwindows with -pe tabbed, for
250 the benefit of automove-background.
251 - the automove-background extension added a wrong constant offset.
252 - force refresh of XA_RESOURCE_STRING on virtual reconnect.
253 - return exit status 2 in urxvtc when urxvtd couldn't be contacted.
254 - the linux yield hack is back, now using usleep, and enabled only on
255 __linux__.
256 - further round trip eliminations in the !XFT case by remembering
257 the colour components.
258 - plain scrollbar works better with -sr.
259 - fixed half-shadow scrollbar look.
260 - more colour rtt optimisations.
261 - properly(?) free colours on window close.
262 - reorganised the FAQ into multiple sections.
263 - add ISO646.1991-IRV to the list of supported codesets.
264 - minor libptytty update.
265
2667.5 Tue Jan 31 15:15:43 CET 2006
267 - further improvements to the careful mode detection, and font width
268 detection:
269 - fully double-wide fonts will now be correctly treated,
270 - overlap detection was improved.
271 - detect totally broken fonts (usually synthesized by xft).
272 - careful mode forced refresh sometimes clashed with blinking,
273 causing unnecessary screen redraws.
274 - better handling of XFT combining characters.
275 - enable antialiasing for some replacement fonts, as they
276 might get used for other encodings which really need it, later.
277 - remove spacing=100 from all default fonts, as this creates totally
278 weird spacing (5 times normal) with xft.
279 - removed iso10646 fallback, as xorgs iso10646 encoded fonts are mostly
280 broken.
281 - removed gnu unifont fallback, all combining characters are broken.
282 - replace named colours by xorg's rgb.txt equivalents, to
283 reduce round trip time on startup, and short-cut allocation
284 of rgb:rr/gg/bb for xft.
285 - short-cut allocation of rgb values in the xlib case
286 (patch by Paco-Paco).
287 - overhauled color management: smaller codesize, alpha support.
288 - support "rgba:rrrr/gggg/bbbb/aaaa" color specifications and
289 an "[alpha]" prefix.
290 - try to work around Xft and Xrender forcing everything to be 100%
291 transparent. Long Live Xft!
292 - do not include X11/Intrinsic.h anymore, directly use
293 Xlib/Xutil/Xresource directly.
294 - try to find a nearest matching color when color allocation fails
295 on a pseudocolor screen.
296 - SYNCCVS: compared to rxvt-cvs 2006-01-28, no relevant changes.
297 - fix version report (DA) (which was unfortunately broken).
298 - changed version number report again, now to emulate xterm closer.
299 - added the OSC sequence 702 to detect the urxvt version number.
300 - small configure updates.
301 - further RTT optimisations.
302 - backported clean-up patches for makefiles and documentation from
303 the debian package.
304 - updated doc/rxvt-unicode.spec file. It's still not maintained here,
305 but much newer than the old one.
306
3077.4 Sat Jan 28 15:26:27 CET 2006
308 - screen background wasn't always erased properly when scrolling,
309 - re-enabled clearing optimisation disabled in 7.4pre.
310 - small configure updates for libptytty.
311 - fixed version options: line output.
312 - removed stoopid debugging message left in the code.
313
3147.3 Wed Jan 25 22:47:35 CET 2006
315 - don't let iso14755 or mouse reporting get into the way of perl
316 (could lead to global grabs never being cleared).
317 - experimental OnTheSpot editing support (-pe xim-onthespot).
318 - moved Shift-Button2 paste combination to Meta-Button2.
319 - the cutchars resource will now be respected and used by the
320 selection extension.
321 - added the "remote-clipboard" extension which just runs external
322 commands to fetch and store the selection data.
323 - added -depth switch that tries to get a different visual depth
324 than the default (replaces the old PREFER_24_BIT logic).
325 - removed (unused) arabic presentation form composing sequences.
326 - be more strict when deciding that a core font glyph is too wide and
327 needs the careful rendering mode.
328 - allow more leeway for italic fonts when deciding that a character is
329 too wide and needs careful mode.
330 - redraw even more characters around characters using careful mode.
331 - made selection-pastebin fully asynchronous.
332 - reduced number of server turnarounds at startup by allocating
333 atoms only once per display.
334 - renamed on_keyboard_command to on_user_command.
335 - changed version sos (ESC [ > c) response to be more compatible with
336 xterm.
337
3387.2 Sun Jan 22 21:58:16 CET 2006
339 - bugfix: urxvt (not urxvtd) did not correctly handle multiple
340 environments necessary, which resulted in segfaults within
341 getenv (reproducable: urxvt -fn 9x15, open a menu once,
342 ctrl-shift-672c).
343 - bugfix: the selection speedup in in 7.1 unfortunately caused
344 non-ascii characters to enlarge/move the selection.
345 - bugfix: resizing sometimes leaked lines from the secondary to
346 the primary screen.
347 - bugfix: reducing window size while large amounts of text were output
348 could lead to an assertion failure.
349 - added "tabbed" extension that provides a crude tabbed terminal.
350 - added "readline" extension that allows cursor positioning
351 via mouse clicks.
352 - now it is possible to insert the value of the CLIPBOARD selection
353 with shift - mouse button 2.
354 - fixed the automove-background extension to ignore coordinates
355 in non-synthetic events.
356 - created a separate libpty for portable and secure
357 pty/tty/utmp/wtmp/lastlog handling, and include it in rxvt-unicode.
358 - the non-terminfo visual bell now works asynchronously, so
359 continuous ASCI BELs in one terminal do no longer monopolise the
360 whole urxvt[d] process.
361 - support some *BSD makes (for the time being, gnu make is a safe bet).
362 - work around bugs in FreeBSD's gcc.
363 - implemented some *BSD fixes in configure.
364 - removed support for obsolete offix dnd protocol.
365
3667.1 Thu Jan 19 20:25:34 CET 2006
367 - setuid/setgid operation is now _encouraged_: security has been
368 improved by moving privileged operations into a separate process
369 and permanently dropping privileges within the terminal. This
370 makes it possible to remove security checks from the perl code
371 and gives a much safer feeling when urxvt needs to run with
372 special privileges.
373 - perl taint checking disabled, as urxvt no longer runs setuid/setgid
374 itself.
375 - new perl extension automove-background that can be used to get
376 the same effect as pseudo-transparency with any pixmap.
377 - new perl extension example: perl/selection-pastebin, can be used to
378 e.g. upload the selection to a webserver and generate a url, or
379 similar stuff.
380 - use the scrollback buffer even when the scroll region doesn't
381 span the whole screen, as long as it starts at row 0. Helps
382 for programs displaying a status line at the bottom.
383 - selection popup now shows selection in dec/hex/oct.
384 - perl/selection: matching on unicode characters in the selection
385 code was O(n²), which equals infinity in some degenerate cases
386 :-> Matching is now done on UTF-8, which makes it almost instant.
387 - perl/selection, perl/selection-autotransform: regexes are now
388 being interpreted in the locale urxvt was started.
389 - implemented override-redirect option and enabled it on menus,
390 as kwin puts our windows behind the terminal (what a shoddy wm).
391 - fixed struct utmp check in configure for OpenBSD.
392 - complete overhaul of the pty/utmp management stuff and configure
393 (Emanuele Giaquinta).
394 - add tsl/fsl and related capabilities to the terminfo description,
395 to set the window title.
396 - swap the environment in some more cases. This hopefully fixes
397 some segfaults that might be caused by xft asking for env variables
398 at the wrong time.
399 - removed src/strings.C and src/menubar.C. No menubar support
400 anymore.
401 - removed all traces of SMOOTH_REFRESH.
402 - nuked QNX support.
403 - made some fixes to xpm offset and scaling code.
404 - perl-overlays and refresh hooks were not applied in correct order.
405 - changed coordinate-system of view_start/nsaved to be top to bottom.
406 - iom extended to support listening for child exits.
407
4087.0 Fri Jan 13 14:02:18 CET 2006
409 - added sections for DISTRIBUTION MAINTAINERS and about
410 SETUID/SETGID to the FAQ.
411 - selection, searchable-scrollback, selection-popup and
412 option-popup extensions enabled by default.
413 - increased xft drawing speed for problematic fonts. The effect
414 will likely be small as 99% of the xft slowness is server-related.
415 - perl: much increased functionality, better overlays, popup support
416 and much much more.
417 - perl: urxvt::line now can set via ->t and ->r.
418 - perl: changed interpretation of --perl-ext-common and -pe.
419 - perl: finally implemented --perl-eval.
420 - perl: non-blocking anyevent support.
421 - perl: run tainted and ignore perl-eval/perl-lib if started
422 setuid/setgid.
423 - free the resource database: this plugs a massive memory leak. As a
424 side effect, it also gets rid of XGetDefault calls.
425 - free one of the cursors, fixes a small memory leak.
426 - built-in (as opposed to terminfos) visual bell was broken/too fast.
427 - applied minor cleanups by Ladislav Michnovic.
428 - applied pty handling cleanups and improvements (Emanuele Giaquinta).
429 - mark-urls launch-on-click by jepler.
430 - removed "small" resource parsing function, as it wasn't really
431 compatible, and not really small either.
432 - removed PATH_ENV and PATH file search support.
433 - removed support for locale-specific app-defaults file.
434 - fixed a bug where out-of-bounds colour sequences could lead
435 to crashes.
436 - limit colour changing to the standard 88 palette instead of all
437 colours.
438 - XTerm_Color01 sequence returned wrong results in query mode.
439 - iom.C now checks against destructed io_manager when unregistering.
440
4416.3 Wed Jan 4 22:37:10 CET 2006
442 - SECURITY FIX: on systems using openpty, permissions were
443 not correctly updated on the tty device and were left as
444 world-readable and world-writable (likely in original rxvt,
445 too), and were not restored properly. Affected are only
446 systems where non-unix ptys were used (such as most BSDs, not
447 GNU/Linux). (found, patched and debugged by Ryan Beasley).
448 - meta8 support was forcefully enabled in most configurations.
449 restored configurability of this (useless) feature (reported
450 by Mikachu).
451 - optionally embed a perl interpreter, which can be used for more
452 intelligent/customized selection support, visual feedback,
453 menus, tabs etc. See the the urxvtperl manpage, the -pe option,
454 perl*-resources and keysym resources. Not everything is there yet.
455 - try to be more clever about differing font sizes and their ascent.
456 Not guarenteed to work, but works better in most cases now.
457 - fix directory permissions on install.
458 - implemented option to disable built-in line drawing characters
459 and fall back to the font ones (patch by Martin Pohlack).
460 - disabled sched_yield support: the linux version is just too useless
461 (it schedules nice'd processes before the own one for extended
462 periods). Too bad, it could reduce system time by a factor of 5 here.
463
4646.2 Mon Jan 2 16:03:01 CET 2006
465 - implemented intensityStyles option which enables/disables bold/blink
466 selecting high intensity foreground/background colours, suggested by
467 Chuck Blake.
468 - move iso14755 character feedback box out of the way if it would
469 obscure the mouse cursor position.
470 - replaced callback.h by a fixed version from gvpe that correctly
471 returns the callback result (affects new -pty-fd semantics in urxvtc
472 on a few architectures). Reported by darix.
473 - include one trailing space in rectangular selections to indicate
474 the inserted newline (yeah, weird, but visually more pleasing).
475 - try to use sched_yield to (drastically) improve terminal data
476 transfer efficiency.
477 - further minor cleanups.
478
4796.1 Tue Dec 27 13:23:40 CET 2005
480 - update iso8859-7 table (euro and drachma round-trip et al.).
481 - fix a crash when the selection scrolls out of the scrollback
482 while the user still drags.
483 - selections that were partially scrolled out of the window were
484 not drawn correctly.
485 - lines newly scrolled in were not initialized properly, leading
486 to extremely long lines and (hopefully) some segfaults.
487 - iso14755 overlay position was wrong.
488 - iso14755 overlay now displays rendition info, too.
489 - use unicode white space class instead of hardcoded values for
490 stripping whitespace.
491 - do whitespace stripping on rectangular selections.
492 - slight cleanups in src/features.h.
493
4946.0 Sat Dec 24 13:58:56 CET 2005
495 - make it compile without SMART_RESIZE again.
496 - enable slow link support by default.
497 - fix relative cursor-positioning not respecting scrolling regions
498 (also a bug in original rxvt).
499 - initialize termios structure to zero when fetching it fails
500 (see http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=84647 for a
501 partial patch).
502 - bump max columns/rows to 10000 each.
503 - bump max savelines to 10000000.
504 - -pty-fd now passes the urxvtc fd to the urxvtd process.
505 - avoid linking against -lnsl/-lsocket/-lxpg4 unless neccessary.
506 - major code cleanup (still not complete, though).
507 - implement -hold option.
508 - _major_ rewrite of internal buffer handling:
509 - re-flow on resize, lines get wrapped instead of winged.
510 - circular line buffer (substantially speeds up scrolling).
511 - slightly less code + data memory usage per terminal.
512 - slight overall speed improvements.
513 - considerably improved code clarity.
514 - partial-screen scrolls no longer end up in the scrollback
515 buffer.
516
5175.9 Sat Dec 17 21:53:17 CET 2005
518 - fix a bug in the menu code of unknown impact, found by darix.
519 - clean up signal handling to be global, not per terminal
520 (matters only for rxvtd).
521 - fix small typoe in rxvt.1 (found by Mike Fabian).
522 - don't crash when broken xft/fontconfig/freetype versions return
523 bogus data, ignore the xft font instead (experienced on suse).
524
5255.8 Tue Oct 25 22:21:45 CEST 2005
526 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: many configure options are now on by default.
527 If you want the old behaviour, try:
528 configure --disable-everything <your enable options>
529 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: -fade changed it's meaning to comply with
530 the documentation and common sense: when upgrading, replace your
531 percentage by 100-percentage.
532 - integrated "fade to specific colour" patch by Martin Parm.
533 - slow down the internal visual bell (delay by 20ms) and update
534 the terminfo flash code to use the same delay. This is
535 synchronous, so many bells might inhibit screen updates in other
536 windows.
537 - text with background==foreground colour gets displayed with default
538 bg/fg now when in reverse video, so it can be seen when selecting.
539 - allow koi8r* as x11 encoding name for koi8r (Nikita Danilov).
540 - removed undocumented inheritPixmapforce option.
541 - replaced INSTALL file.
542
5435.7 Wed Jul 13 04:46:33 CEST 2005
544 - implement some useful (hopefully) options for rxvtd.
545 - separate and improved rxvtc(1) and rxvtd(1) manpages.
546 - fix a bug that caused segfaults on startup on systems that do
547 not support local unix connections, e.g cygwin. (btw, I didn't
548 even know about the -rootless and -multiwindow Cygwin/X modes).
549 - large amounts of text without control sequences or newlines
550 could almost freeze output. This has been fixed by adding extra
551 refreshes in these cases (also a problem in original rxvt).
