27TODO: make fontCount dependent on ENABLE_256... in an INTELLIGENT way
28 - searchable-scrollback no longer ignores the first line
29 (Emanuele Giaquinta).
30 - add support for 256 colors.
31 - add support for grabbing the clipboard selection and extend
32 selection{_clear,_grab,} perl bindings to optionally work
33 on the clipboard selection (based on patch by Dana Jansens).
34 - extend ISO 14755 5.4 mode to also print the font name of the
35 characters other than first one in the selected cell
36 (Emanuele Giaquinta).
37 - make sure pagewise scrolling scrolls at least one line
38 (found by Mikachu).
39 - new on_bell perl hook (Emanuele Giaquinta).
40 - new iso14755 option to disable ISO 14755 at runtime
41 (Emanuele Giaquinta).
42 - reduce the number of custom bits to 4.
43
449.07 Wed Dec 30 07:07:18 CET 2009
45 - port to glibc-2.10 changes (strchr etc. returning const char *
46 in C++), based on patches by Milos Jakubicek and Oliver Mader.
47 - the binary search algorithm to find precomposed characters
48 was faulty, skipping some possible combinations (found by
49 Mikachu).
50 - new -letterspace option, patch by Mark H. Wilkinson.
51 - enable --mlock option for urxvt with frills on
52 systems supporting it (patch by Russell Harmon).
53 - urxvt did not compile without frills enabled
54 (analysed by Matthew Rosewarne).
55 - correctly reset the mbstate after an illegal
56 input sequence when handling terminal output (Emanuele Giaquinta).
57 - avoid redrawing wide characters with combining enabled on every
58 refresh (reported by Mikachu).
59 - fix a typo preventing the ISO-646.1991 character set from being
60 recognized (http://achurch.org/patch-pile/).
61 - better warning for x11 font encoding detection failures, also,
62 try to deduce encoding from both font properties and name
63 (adapted from http://achurch.org/patch-pile/).
64 - resizing the window with the scrollbar disabled via the escapes
65 sequence could make the window bigger again (Mikachu).
66 - make sure the alignment for fd passing control messages
67 is correct and work around some NetBSD issues (Taylor R Campbell).
68 - update to libptytty 1.3.
69 - replace macosx-pastebin by a nicer version by Reza Jelveh, and move
70 the old version to macosx-pastebin-native.
71 - document the -uc option (Emanuele Giaquinta).
72 - assertions in libev are now enabled depending on frills.
73 - update AnyEvent implementation to version 5.23 API.
74 - work around arrogant bsd idiocies again: netbsd spills the default
75 namespace with lots of symbols "for gnu/gcc compatibility" even
76 though neither of them does it, and then calls the rest of the world
77 in need of fixing. go figure.
78 - on_keyboard_command is on_user_command (patch by Michael Witten).
79 - setting the selection from perl will now reset the selection screen
80 to the current screen. the screen can be manipulated using
81 the new ->selection_screen method.
82 - implement --enable-assert configure option and get rid of DEBUG_STRICT
83 (based on patch by Emanuele Giaquinta).
84 - fix printpipe data output (patch by Emanuele Giaquinta).
85 - allow `xxx' quoting style for perl selection.
86 - upgrade to libev-3.9 prerelease.
87 - updated compose tables to unicode 5.2.0.
88
899.06 Sat Nov 8 17:47:18 CET 2008
90 - NOTICE: this release updates terminfo/termcap.
91 - updates libev to 3.48.
92 - the aterm code now frees the as visual and image manager objects
93 when a window was closed.
94 - do not (wrongly) adjust the virtual line length inside
95 scr_insdel_chars/ERASE (Miroslav Lichvar).
96 - fix an issue where wide tab characters caused character shifts
97 when part of them was deleted (tracked down by Miroslav Lichvar).
98 - artificially enlargen the previous character at the end of a line
99 when trying to output a character that doesn't fit. looks ugly, but
100 makes copy&paste work.
101 - remove bogus "setuid/setgid security issues" from rxvt.1.pod, they
102 no longer apply.
103 - the urgency hint is now cleared on both focus in and focus out.
104 - cache urgency hint locally to avoid server rtt on every focus change.
105 - perl 5.10 needs PERL_SYS_INIT3 on hppa.
106 - ignore byte-order marks and do not treat them like combining characters.
107 - fix build issue when CURSOR_BLINK is not defined (Emanuele Giaquinta).
108 - do some µ-optimisations to the character fast path.
109 - use a less cunning, but more robust algorithm to avoid one terminal
110 monopolising the whole process by outputting a lot of text.
111 - try to work around linux first breaking sched_yield and now breaking
112 the only known workaround.
113 - new option -icon to set _NET_WM_ICON (based on patch by Frank Schmitt).
114 - initialise the as visual only on demand, instead of unconditionally,
115 to save memory in the common case of not using visual gimmicks.
116 - try to work around bugs in a few wm's that erroneously resize
117 client windows on hint property updates by temporarily
118 disabling size hints.
119 - implement the DECSTR soft reset sequence and use it for tput init,
120 and make hard RIS and DECSTR both reset more private modes, such
121 as mouse reporting.
122 - redundantly clear mouse reporting and a few other states in
123 tput init/tput reset, for older urxvts.
124 - partial/full clear screens did cause flickering and possibly pixel
125 droppings when urxvt viewed the scrollback buffer.
126 - use current rendition style in DCH sequence.
127 - the 132/80 mode switch no longer forces a screen reset.
128 - add an osc sequence to change the border colour (Emanuele Giaquinta).
129 - new perl extension "overlay-osc", for status displays and the like.
130 - fix some minor cursor drawing issues with overlays by allowing
131 overlays to modify screen flags (to disable the cursor themselves).
132 - work around programs not restoring rstyle before rmcup
133 (analysed by Miroslav Lichvar).
134
1359.05 Sun Jun 15 20:09:20 CEST 2008
136 - new option --cd/chdir to set the starting working directory.
137 - tabbed extension now starts in the "correct" working directory.
138 - work around fedora 9 providing isastream but not the relevant
139 header file for it (report by Tuncer Ayaz).
140 - upgrade libev, fixing a bug in the select backend.
141 with more than 31 file descriptors on non-linux 64 bit systems.
142 - correctly reset the multibyte state to the initial one
143 after EILSEQ (patch by Neil Booth). This fixes the
144 issue of rxvt-unicode not properly displaying text after an illegal
145 sequence on NetBSD and probably other systems.
146 - more intelligent property handling with -pe tabbed, works around
147 broken window managers (kwm et al.), saves bandwidth and should
148 help working window managers as well.
149 - made tabs moveable (based on a patch by Petr Machata).
150 - implement ESC [ 3 K as a more rational alternative to ESC [ 0 K.
151 - support relative paths for RXVT_SOCKET in urxvtd.
152 - the tabbed extension now blindly copies over all (rxvt-) resources
153 from the toplevel window to the children.
154 - better diagnostic on 0x0 window geometries.
155 - update AnyEvent API to version 3.4 and above.
156 - document the default value of :0 for DISPLAY.
157 - rename perl method XChangeWindowProperty to XChangeProperty.
158
1599.02 Tue Jan 29 11:58:36 CET 2008
160 - the "exg makes everybody happy" release.
161 - fix build with !xft.
162 - always compile in plain style scrollbar (simplifies code and looks great).
163
1649.01 Sat Jan 26 20:49:27 CET 2008
165 - be more aggressive about handling X events, this seems to be required
166 with newer xlibs (should fix the "screen stays black until event is
167 received" problem, again :)
168 - add buffered resource to control xft double-buffering.
169
1709.0 Fri Jan 25 19:34:04 CET 2008
171 - fix a crash bug where urxvtd would crash when urxvtc was called
172 with wrong arguments (I wish debian maintainers in general would
173 report bugs and their proposed fixes to the original package maintainers
174 instead of sitting on them for good measure to see if anybody notices).
175 - drawing xft compose characters was causing garbage to be drawn.
176 - correctly clear xft character background in all cases.
177 - implement bracketed paste mode (xterm private mode 2004).
178 - improve documentation on alpha channel handling, make urxvt
179 work better on servers lacking the RENDER extension when alpha
180 channels or background images are used.
181 - check for refresh after initialising to avoid staying blank
182 till the first event arrives. or so.
183 - the FORCE_UNBUFFERED_XFT feature macro works again.
184 - continuously update transparency while moving/resizing now.
185 - OSC 39/49 are deprecated and aliased to OSC 10/11.
186 - cub1 now acts as advertised (and ignores the "wrapped" state).
187 - the 132/80 mode switch now forces a height of 24, too, and
188 resets the terminal.
189 - scrollbar code cleanups.
190 - stopping children is no longer confused with children exiting.
191 - removed (undocumented) #aarrggbb format.
192 - updated to libev 3.0.
193
1948.9 Mon Dec 24 07:51:40 CET 2007
195 - fix the issue where urxvtd would not immediately close a window
196 when the command exited but only on the next X event.
197 - changed terminfo file not to use application keypad mode.
198 - fix the issue where making a selection in one urxvtd window
199 would not clear it visually in another.
200 - fix an issue of urxvt not getting background pixmap updates
201 and flickering after bg pixmap changes (reported by Mikachu).
202 - fix redraw bug in xterm scrollbar with -sr (reported by Mikachu).
203 - correctly provide dependencies for libev (µikachu).
204 - minor code reorganisations and cleanups.
205 - be more robust in case the urxvt-popup extension cannot be loaded.
206

20 - option -C was aliased to all unsupported options, activating 208 - option -C was aliased to all unsupported options, activating
21 options that shouldn't be compiled in, leading to interesting 209 options that shouldn't be compiled in, leading to interesting
22 effects. 210 effects.
211 - updated libev, working around a bug in linux 2.4, curing the
212 symptom of urxvt not closing its window on shell exit. also
213 fixes a problem with urxvt not refreshing.
214 - the text blink callback was called even when no blinking
215 text was visible.
216 - pre-8.4 slipwheeling behaviour has been reinstated, with
217 some minor improvements.
218 - streamlined x events processing to only flush once per
219 display and not once per terminal window.
220 - quite a bit of minor code cleanups and codesize optimisations.
