28 - updated libev, working around a bug in linux 2.4, curing the
29 symptom of urxvt not closing its window on shell exit. also
30 fixes a problem with urxvt not refreshing.
31 - the text blink callback was called even when no blinking
32 text was visible.
33 - pre-8.4 slipwheeling behaviour has been reinstated, with
34 some minor improvements.
35 - streamlined x events processing to only flush once per
36 display and not once per terminal window.
37 - quite a bit of minor code cleanups and codesize optimisations.
38
398.7 Sun Nov 25 10:23:49 CET 2007
40 - update libev with an important bugfix that would cause crashes
41 when closing windows (when using rxvtd, and update is recommended).
42 - do not compile in the block builtin graphics with --disable-frills.
43
448.6 Fri Nov 23 14:10:57 CET 2007
45 - upgrade libev to disable kqueue on anything but netbsd as it
46 seems to be broken everywhere else w.r.t. ptys.
47 - allow for spurious event notifications, as at least epoll and
48 especially solaris ports like to lie about them (symptoms:
49 urxvt "hangs" until there is some x11 related activity).
50 - -keysym command line options are now subjected to xlib parsing.
51 - add 'xrm' option analogous to Xt one.
52
538.5a Wed Nov 21 10:16:33 CET 2007
54 - make it compile with --disable-transparency.
55
568.5 Wed Nov 21 05:19:20 CET 2007
57 - expect major portability issues in this release: please test and report.
58 - converted from the veritable io manager event loop to
59 the high performance libev (http://software.schmorp.de/pkg/libev).
60 - minor tuning to the perl selection (include single words and more quoting chars).
61 - fix memory leak in pixmap code.
62 - fix a serious bug while setting the XIM destroy callback
63 on (typical) 64 bit systems.
64 - automove-background functionality re-implemented internaly using :root op in pixmap
65 geometry string. For example: rxvt -pixmap "image.jpg;:root"
66 - do not link rxvtc against every lib on the planet anymore.
67 - parallel builds should work once more.
68
698.4 Sat Oct 27 14:02:13 CEST 2007
70 - overhaul of the transparency/pixmap code (sasha).
71 - fix possible race betwen visual bell and poweron.
72 (reported by Martin von Gagern, gentoo?).

85 patch by Sasha Vasko.
86 - add urgentOnBell resource to set the urgency hint
87 (patch by Philip Paeps).
88 - do not process focus events caused by grabs
89 (patch by Mikachu).
90 - add iso14755_52 resource to disable iso14755 5.2 (exg).
91 - add binding for backspace in iso14755 5.1 to remove the last
92 digit (exg).
93 - better option handling, support more than 30 options (exg).
94 - nuke reconf script, serves no purpose anymore.
95 - fixed and documented matcher/on_user_command processing in matcher
96 extension (tpope).
97 - compile out of the box on Solaris 10 (exg).
98 - fix MappingNotify events (reported by Stephan Walter).
99 - zero-initialise mwmhints, this seems to solve all sorts of minor
100 problems.
101
1028.2 Sat Feb 17 21:35:28 CET 2007
103 - fix make depend in src/, reported by exg.
104 - fixed typo in urxvt::GET_CUSTOM, causing the result to be wrong.
105 (patch by Sergey Vlasov).
106 - unbundled iom perl interface somewhat.
107 - scrollbar-xterm now uses the selected scrollColor instead of fg
108 (found by Aiviru).
109 - disabled linux kernel bug workaround again: disabling it gives
110 a 50% speed hit on affected machines, while enabling it gives
111 a similar speed hit to screen, which is likely the more common
112 case to work around for :/
113 - urxvt::rend2mask perl function, and utilization of it by matcher
114 (patch by Moshe Kamensky).
115 - use perl:matcher on a keysym to open most recently displayed URL.
116 - with matcher, when multiple patterns match, last wins, not first.
117 - fix make and make install with srcdir != builddir (exg).
118 - updated bundled libptytty to fix a bug where the tty would be kept
119 open (see the libptytty ChangeLog for details).
120 - delay setting the IUTF8 flag to after the tty settings have been
121 set so its value does not get lost (reported and analysed by Andrei
122 Paskevich).
123 - rip out support for obsolete sgtty.h interface.
124 - rip out support for non-POSIX termios variants.
125 - update libptytty.
126 - update iom.C, make it call ptytty::sanitise_stdfd on init.
127 - when !XFT, change rounding of colours to use a less correct formula to
128 meet user expectancies (#aaa becomes #a000a000a000 not #9f9f9f9f9f9f).
129 - change the starting offset of the pixmap set with backgroundPixmap
130 from (50,50) to (0,0) (exg).
131 - fix a typo in button_release, now meta-button2 request the value of
132 the Clipboard selection as it should (patch by Serge Koksharov).
133 - fix a bug in drawing a cell with a nonspacing char when using an xft
134 font with inheritPixmap and tintColor (exg).
135
1368.1 Thu Dec 7 22:27:25 CET 2006
137 - ケリスマスプレゼント - zomg!!1, it's too early!!!
138 - fix the assumption that chars < 256 are single-width. Now
139 only assume this for codepoints 32 to 126 (reported by Dai.H.).
140 - $term->strwidth returned wide chars as width 1, because some jerk
141 confused min and max. Fixing this also fixes xim-onthespot.
142 Reported by Takano Akio.
143 - secondaryScroll is now enabled by default (as per the manpage),
144 reported by exg.
145 - correct the description of [percent]color rgba format in the manpage.
146 - incorporated macosx-clipboard extension by Samuel Ljungkvist.
147 - ignore (some) useless focus events (reported by mmc).
148 - updated compose table to unicode 5.0.0.
149
1508.0 Thu Nov 2 18:35:19 CET 2006
151 - combining characters cleared the area instead of creating an overlay,
152 thus losing the ability to draw combining characters properly in most
153 circumstances (reported by exg).
154 - specified fonts were incorrectly morphed to bold/italic according to the
155 basefont, even if explicitly specified (tracked down by tpope).
156 - fixed urxvt::strwidth to calculate width in the same way as screen.C.
157 - fix a crash caused by passing negative widths to overlay functions.
158 - added 'matcher' extension by tpope, replacing the mark-urls extension.
159 - improve url regex to match anything www.* (tpope).
160 - fixed bug with outline cursor color being wrong after xft fonts.
161 - update to libptytty-1.0.
162 - give proper diagnostic when RXVT_SOCKET is too long instead of
163 corrupting the stack (patch by exg).
164 - display current terminal locale in option menu.
165 - urxvtd no longer crashes when the client sends an inaccessible
166 working directory (reported by Roland Baer, possibly fixes gentoo
167 bug #143985).
168 - fixed many minor issues reported by Roland Baer.
169 - Leonid Khramov spotted a minor glitch in rxvtfont.C that
170 should not have any consequences, but was buggy nonetheless.
171 - manpage fix by exg.
172
1737.9 Mon Aug 7 18:16:07 CEST 2006
174 - fix the crashing bug people encountered with 7.8 + urxvtd + perl
175 + transparency. Ought to fix debian bug #380348.
176 - fix urxvtc.1.pod: it actually claimed -pty-fd would not work. But
177 it does! :->
178 - rxvt_fatal() in case the locale string is too long for our static buffer.
179 - fixed many, many, typos in the manpages (patch supplied by ves).
