10WISH: anyevent mouse notification / manage MotionMask better. 10TODO: slow drag selection on remote display - other things seem fast (rxvt illness, motion hints?)
11WISH: just for fun, do shade and tint with XRender. 11TODO: investigate -pe tabbed -g 80x25 being 23 not 24 or 25 lines
12WISH: http://www120.pair.com/mccarthy/nextstep/intro.htmld/Workspace.html is the correct nextstep look. 12 => when setting the constraints, the wm might (correctly)
13 resize the outer window, which might result in a smaller window overall.
14 or something like that. guys, send me a patch.
15WISH: selection-color-pair instead of reverse video
16WISH: load system-wide config file even if we don't have one
17WISH: look into XAddConnectionWatch, does anybody need that?

209.0
21 - implement bracketed paste mode (xterm private mode 2004).
22 - fix a crash bug where urxvtd would crash when urxvtc was called
23 with wrong arguments (I wish debian maintainers in general would
24 report bugs and their proposed fixes to the original package maintaienrs
25 instead of sitting on them for good measure to see if anybody notices).
26 - check for refresh after initialising to avoid staying blank
27 till the first event arrives. or so.
28 - continuously update transparency while moving/resizing now.
29 - OSC 39/49 are deprecated and aliased to OSC 10/11.
30 - cub1 now acts as advertised (and ignores the "wrapped" state).
31 - the 132/80 mode switch now forces a height of 24, too, and
32 resets the terminal.
33 - scrollbar code cleanups.
34
358.9 Mon Dec 24 07:51:40 CET 2007
36 - fix the issue where urxvtd would not immediately close a window
37 when the command exited but only on the next X event.
38 - changed terminfo file not to use application keypad mode.
39 - fix the issue where making a selection in one urxvtd window
40 would not clear it visually in another.
41 - fix an issue of urxvt not getting background pixmap updates
42 and flickering after bg pixmap changes (reported by Mikachu).
43 - fix redraw bug in xterm scrollbar with -sr (reported by Mikachu).
44 - correctly provide dependencies for libev (µikachu).
45 - minor code reorganisations and cleanups.
46 - be more robust in case the urxvt-popup extension cannot be loaded.
47
488.8 Sat Dec 15 19:40:39 CET 2007
49 - option -C was aliased to all unsupported options, activating
50 options that shouldn't be compiled in, leading to interesting
51 effects.
52 - updated libev, working around a bug in linux 2.4, curing the
53 symptom of urxvt not closing its window on shell exit. also
54 fixes a problem with urxvt not refreshing.
55 - the text blink callback was called even when no blinking
56 text was visible.
57 - pre-8.4 slipwheeling behaviour has been reinstated, with
58 some minor improvements.
59 - streamlined x events processing to only flush once per
60 display and not once per terminal window.
61 - quite a bit of minor code cleanups and codesize optimisations.
62
638.7 Sun Nov 25 10:23:49 CET 2007
64 - update libev with an important bugfix that would cause crashes
65 when closing windows (when using rxvtd, and update is recommended).
66 - do not compile in the block builtin graphics with --disable-frills.
67
688.6 Fri Nov 23 14:10:57 CET 2007
69 - upgrade libev to disable kqueue on anything but netbsd as it
70 seems to be broken everywhere else w.r.t. ptys.
71 - allow for spurious event notifications, as at least epoll and
72 especially solaris ports like to lie about them (symptoms:
73 urxvt "hangs" until there is some x11 related activity).
74 - -keysym command line options are now subjected to xlib parsing.
75 - add 'xrm' option analogous to Xt one.
76
778.5a Wed Nov 21 10:16:33 CET 2007
78 - make it compile with --disable-transparency.
79
808.5 Wed Nov 21 05:19:20 CET 2007
81 - expect major portability issues in this release: please test and report.
82 - converted from the veritable io manager event loop to
83 the high performance libev (http://software.schmorp.de/pkg/libev).
84 - minor tuning to the perl selection (include single words and more quoting chars).
85 - fix memory leak in pixmap code.
86 - fix a serious bug while setting the XIM destroy callback
87 on (typical) 64 bit systems.
88 - automove-background functionality re-implemented internaly using :root op in pixmap
89 geometry string. For example: rxvt -pixmap "image.jpg;:root"
90 - do not link rxvtc against every lib on the planet anymore.
91 - parallel builds should work once more.
92
938.4 Sat Oct 27 14:02:13 CEST 2007
94 - overhaul of the transparency/pixmap code (sasha).
95 - fix possible race betwen visual bell and poweron.
96 (reported by Martin von Gagern, gentoo?).
97 - urxvt -e no longer crashes the child.
98 - fixed some minor memleaks on incorrect usage or
99 missing DISPLAY.
100 - implement xterm 1002/1003 mouse tracking modes (exg).
101 - source code organisational cleanups (exg).
102 - updated io_manager.
103
1048.3 Wed Aug 1 20:21:31 CEST 2007
105 - new option: skipScroll/-ss, enabled by default.
106 - go with the times and expect x11 library files in /usr/lib, not
107 /usr/X11R6/lib.
108 - initial transparency improvement/afterimage support
109 patch by Sasha Vasko.
110 - add urgentOnBell resource to set the urgency hint
111 (patch by Philip Paeps).
112 - do not process focus events caused by grabs
113 (patch by Mikachu).
114 - add iso14755_52 resource to disable iso14755 5.2 (exg).
115 - add binding for backspace in iso14755 5.1 to remove the last
116 digit (exg).
117 - better option handling, support more than 30 options (exg).
118 - nuke reconf script, serves no purpose anymore.
119 - fixed and documented matcher/on_user_command processing in matcher
120 extension (tpope).
121 - compile out of the box on Solaris 10 (exg).
122 - fix MappingNotify events (reported by Stephan Walter).
123 - zero-initialise mwmhints, this seems to solve all sorts of minor
124 problems.
125
1268.2 Sat Feb 17 21:35:28 CET 2007
127 - fix make depend in src/, reported by exg.
128 - fixed typo in urxvt::GET_CUSTOM, causing the result to be wrong.
129 (patch by Sergey Vlasov).
130 - unbundled iom perl interface somewhat.
131 - scrollbar-xterm now uses the selected scrollColor instead of fg
132 (found by Aiviru).
133 - disabled linux kernel bug workaround again: disabling it gives
134 a 50% speed hit on affected machines, while enabling it gives
135 a similar speed hit to screen, which is likely the more common
136 case to work around for :/
137 - urxvt::rend2mask perl function, and utilization of it by matcher
138 (patch by Moshe Kamensky).
139 - use perl:matcher on a keysym to open most recently displayed URL.
140 - with matcher, when multiple patterns match, last wins, not first.
141 - fix make and make install with srcdir != builddir (exg).
142 - updated bundled libptytty to fix a bug where the tty would be kept
143 open (see the libptytty ChangeLog for details).
144 - delay setting the IUTF8 flag to after the tty settings have been
145 set so its value does not get lost (reported and analysed by Andrei
146 Paskevich).
147 - rip out support for obsolete sgtty.h interface.
148 - rip out support for non-POSIX termios variants.
149 - update libptytty.
150 - update iom.C, make it call ptytty::sanitise_stdfd on init.
151 - when !XFT, change rounding of colours to use a less correct formula to
152 meet user expectancies (#aaa becomes #a000a000a000 not #9f9f9f9f9f9f).
153 - change the starting offset of the pixmap set with backgroundPixmap
154 from (50,50) to (0,0) (exg).
155 - fix a typo in button_release, now meta-button2 request the value of
156 the Clipboard selection as it should (patch by Serge Koksharov).
157 - fix a bug in drawing a cell with a nonspacing char when using an xft
158 font with inheritPixmap and tintColor (exg).
159
1608.1 Thu Dec 7 22:27:25 CET 2006
161 - ケリスマスプレゼント - zomg!!1, it's too early!!!
162 - fix the assumption that chars < 256 are single-width. Now
163 only assume this for codepoints 32 to 126 (reported by Dai.H.).
164 - $term->strwidth returned wide chars as width 1, because some jerk
165 confused min and max. Fixing this also fixes xim-onthespot.
166 Reported by Takano Akio.
167 - secondaryScroll is now enabled by default (as per the manpage),
168 reported by exg.
169 - correct the description of [percent]color rgba format in the manpage.
170 - incorporated macosx-clipboard extension by Samuel Ljungkvist.
171 - ignore (some) useless focus events (reported by mmc).
172 - updated compose table to unicode 5.0.0.
173
1748.0 Thu Nov 2 18:35:19 CET 2006
175 - combining characters cleared the area instead of creating an overlay,
176 thus losing the ability to draw combining characters properly in most
177 circumstances (reported by exg).
178 - specified fonts were incorrectly morphed to bold/italic according to the
179 basefont, even if explicitly specified (tracked down by tpope).
180 - fixed urxvt::strwidth to calculate width in the same way as screen.C.
181 - fix a crash caused by passing negative widths to overlay functions.
182 - added 'matcher' extension by tpope, replacing the mark-urls extension.
183 - improve url regex to match anything www.* (tpope).
184 - fixed bug with outline cursor color being wrong after xft fonts.
185 - update to libptytty-1.0.
186 - give proper diagnostic when RXVT_SOCKET is too long instead of
187 corrupting the stack (patch by exg).
188 - display current terminal locale in option menu.
189 - urxvtd no longer crashes when the client sends an inaccessible
190 working directory (reported by Roland Baer, possibly fixes gentoo
191 bug #143985).
192 - fixed many minor issues reported by Roland Baer.
193 - Leonid Khramov spotted a minor glitch in rxvtfont.C that
194 should not have any consequences, but was buggy nonetheless.
195 - manpage fix by exg.
196
1977.9 Mon Aug 7 18:16:07 CEST 2006
198 - fix the crashing bug people encountered with 7.8 + urxvtd + perl
199 + transparency. Ought to fix debian bug #380348.
200 - fix urxvtc.1.pod: it actually claimed -pty-fd would not work. But
201 it does! :->
202 - rxvt_fatal() in case the locale string is too long for our static buffer.
203 - fixed many, many, typos in the manpages (patch supplied by ves).
204
2057.8 Mon Jul 17 21:00:46 CEST 2006
206 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: this version will always read ~/.Xdefaults,
207 earlier versions only read it if display-resources (usually from
208 .Xresources) are not set. This avoids the #1 FAQ ("why isn't my
209 resource used") and seems to be logical behaviour, too. .Xdefaults
210 resources have a lower priority than display-specific resources.
211 - add "kuake" perl extension that does a similar thing to the kuake
212 terminal emulator (see man urxtvperl).
213 - use less "correct" color scaling that is compatible with libX11 and
214 Xft (avoids off-by-one colors resulting in striped backgrounds).
215 - the "depth" resource is now respected.
216 - preset the searchable-scrollback pattern with "(?i)" to default search
217 to case-insensitivity. Will automatically be cleared when typing an
218 uppercase character.
219 - add FORCE_UNBUFFERED_XFT define to features.h.
220 - re-enabled highlightcolor support with --enable-frills, based on
221 a patch by Martin Stubenschrott.
222 - double-buffered xft drawing did suffer from pixel offset issues
223 when pixmap transparency was enabled.
224 - strategically add # to the url-match regexes, as we really want to
225 match common URIs not common URLs. Reported by Aaron Griffin.
226 - moved on_osc_seq to on_osc_seq_perl and added a more
227 generic osc_seq.
228 - fix a bug causing double callback invocations when perl hooks
229 were invoked recursively.
230 - the automove-background extension now properly works when the
231 pixmap gets reset with an osc sequence (sqweek).
232 - selection-pastebin did not work properly with non-latin1-characters.
233 - apply colorUL only when the text colour is the default fg
234 (patch by Wu Fengguang).
235 - removed rxvtlib.h from the tarball, it had no reason to be there
236 (spotted by Decklin Foster).
237 - fix compiling with TRANSPARENT but !XPM_BACKGROUND, as reported
238 by omatunto_.
239 - slap in a using namespace std, might help on platforms that don't
240 follow C++ closely enough.
241 - fix mailto url regex, spotted within milliseconds by Jost Krieger.
242 - applied fade_color_update_func.patch by WU Fengguang.
243 - fix a bug where (due to an optimisation in av_delete), hiding the
244 bottom-most overlay would hide two overlays.
245
2467.7 Tue Feb 21 12:32:49 CET 2006
247 - use double-buffered drawing (xft fonts only). On many driver/hardware
248 combination this actually increases xft drawing speed, at the expense
249 of more network bandwidth and slight nausea on the side of the author.
250 - readline perl extension now requires shift-click instead of a normal
251 click, and eats the click.
252 - tabbed perl extension now supports -e.
253 - disabled graphics-exposures on the main drawing GC, report any
254 refresh bugs please.
255 - improve property handling for -pe tabbed: avoid unnecessary property
256 changes (for kde's benefit) at the expense of extra round-trips,
257 improve size hint setting.
258 - modified XIM according to a patch sent by Takano Akio that sets
259 the preedit rectangle for OverTheSpot, which helps some input methods
260 to correctly position their preedit window.
261 - un-optimise the line clearing on newly scrolled-in lines a bit: the
262 former reasoning was that any fg colour on default bg looks the same
263 in empty spaces, but thats not true when reversing (e.g. selection),
264 so also check for matching fg colours. This fixes the problem where
265 selecting newly scrolled-in lines would exhibit wrong colours.
266 - fix a bug in the perl interface causing focus in events to generate
267 focus out perl events, causing bad focus effects with -pe tabbed.
268 - fix a race resulting in a crash on exiting.
269 - fix a with --disable-xft that caused xfreecolors to be called on
270 colors never allocated, resulting in aborts (reported by Paco-Paco).
271 - resources on non-initial screens weren't refetched correctly
272 (reported by Paco-Paco).
273 - fix a bug in xcopyarea pass and _disable_ it, as it seems not to be
274 working in either rxvt-unicode nor in the original rxvt.
275 - removed undocumented -exec alias for the -e option.
276
2777.6 Fri Feb 10 08:52:36 CET 2006
278 - changed interpretation of [alpha] colour prefix.
279 - +option now really sets the option to default, instead of using the
280 resource value.
281 - options that require an argument now really _require_ an argument.
282 - the tabbed extension now forwards focus and keys events to th
283 relevant tab window.
284 - tab colours are now configurable and have sensible defaults
285 (initial patch by hednod).
286 - option menu is extendable, readline, selection and
287 selection-autotransform can now be disabled/enabled at runtime.
288 - forcing a configure event to tabbed subwindows with -pe tabbed, for
289 the benefit of automove-background.
290 - the automove-background extension added a wrong constant offset.
291 - force refresh of XA_RESOURCE_STRING on virtual reconnect.
292 - return exit status 2 in urxvtc when urxvtd couldn't be contacted.
293 - the linux yield hack is back, now using usleep, and enabled only on
294 __linux__.
295 - further round trip eliminations in the !XFT case by remembering
296 the colour components.
297 - plain scrollbar works better with -sr.
298 - fixed half-shadow scrollbar look.
299 - more colour rtt optimisations.
300 - properly(?) free colours on window close.
301 - reorganised the FAQ into multiple sections.
302 - add ISO646.1991-IRV to the list of supported codesets.
303 - minor libptytty update.
304
3057.5 Tue Jan 31 15:15:43 CET 2006
306 - further improvements to the careful mode detection, and font width
307 detection:
308 - fully double-wide fonts will now be correctly treated,
309 - overlap detection was improved.
310 - detect totally broken fonts (usually synthesized by xft).
311 - careful mode forced refresh sometimes clashed with blinking,
312 causing unnecessary screen redraws.
313 - better handling of XFT combining characters.
314 - enable antialiasing for some replacement fonts, as they
315 might get used for other encodings which really need it, later.
316 - remove spacing=100 from all default fonts, as this creates totally
317 weird spacing (5 times normal) with xft.
318 - removed iso10646 fallback, as xorgs iso10646 encoded fonts are mostly
319 broken.
320 - removed gnu unifont fallback, all combining characters are broken.
321 - replace named colours by xorg's rgb.txt equivalents, to
322 reduce round trip time on startup, and short-cut allocation
323 of rgb:rr/gg/bb for xft.
324 - short-cut allocation of rgb values in the xlib case
325 (patch by Paco-Paco).
326 - overhauled color management: smaller codesize, alpha support.
327 - support "rgba:rrrr/gggg/bbbb/aaaa" color specifications and
328 an "[alpha]" prefix.
329 - try to work around Xft and Xrender forcing everything to be 100%
330 transparent. Long Live Xft!
331 - do not include X11/Intrinsic.h anymore, directly use
332 Xlib/Xutil/Xresource directly.
333 - try to find a nearest matching color when color allocation fails
334 on a pseudocolor screen.
15 - SYNCCVS: compared to rxvt-cvs 2006-01-28, no relevant changes. 335 - SYNCCVS: compared to rxvt-cvs 2006-01-28, no relevant changes.
16 - fix version report (DA) (which was unfortunately broken). 336 - fix version report (DA) (which was unfortunately broken).
17 - changed version number report again, now to emulate xterm closer. 337 - changed version number report again, now to emulate xterm closer.
18 - added the OSC sequence 702 to detect the urxvt version number. 338 - added the OSC sequence 702 to detect the urxvt version number.
19 - small configure updates. 339 - small configure updates.
20 - overhauled color management: smaller codesize, alpha support. 340 - further RTT optimisations.
21 - support rgba:r/g/b/a, #argb, #aarrggbb and #aaaarrrrggggbbbb 341 - backported clean-up patches for makefiles and documentation from
22 colour "names". 342 the debian package.
23 - do not include X11/Intrinsic.h anymore, directly use 343 - updated doc/rxvt-unicode.spec file. It's still not maintained here,
24 Xlib/Xutil/Xresource directly. 344 but much newer than the old one.
