20TODO: coloured pastebin
21TODO: mabbe unlink the RXVT_SOCKET on exit?
22
23 - made tabs moveable (based on a patch by Petr Machata).
24 - support relative paths for RXVT_SOCKET in urxvtd.
25
269.02 Tue Jan 29 11:58:36 CET 2008
27 - the "exg makes everybody happy" release.
28 - fix build with !xft.
29 - always compile in plain style scrollbar (simplifies code and looks great).
30
319.01 Sat Jan 26 20:49:27 CET 2008
32 - be more aggressive about handling X events, this seems to be required
33 with newer xlibs (should fix the "screen stays black until event is
34 received" problem, again :)
35 - add buffered resource to control xft double-buffering.
36
379.0 Fri Jan 25 19:34:04 CET 2008
38 - fix a crash bug where urxvtd would crash when urxvtc was called
39 with wrong arguments (I wish debian maintainers in general would
40 report bugs and their proposed fixes to the original package maintaienrs
41 instead of sitting on them for good measure to see if anybody notices).
42 - drawing xft compose characters was causing garbage to be drawn.
43 - correctly clear xft character background in all cases.
44 - implement bracketed paste mode (xterm private mode 2004).
45 - improve documentation on alpha channel handling, make urxvt
46 work better on servers lacking the RENDER extension when alpha
47 channels or background images are used.
48 - check for refresh after initialising to avoid staying blank
49 till the first event arrives. or so.
50 - the FORCE_UNBUFFERED_XFT feature macro works again.
51 - continuously update transparency while moving/resizing now.
52 - OSC 39/49 are deprecated and aliased to OSC 10/11.
53 - cub1 now acts as advertised (and ignores the "wrapped" state).
54 - the 132/80 mode switch now forces a height of 24, too, and
55 resets the terminal.
56 - scrollbar code cleanups.
57 - stopping children is no longer confused with children exiting.
58 - removed (undocumented) #aarrggbb format.
59 - updated to libev 3.0.
60
618.9 Mon Dec 24 07:51:40 CET 2007
62 - fix the issue where urxvtd would not immediately close a window
63 when the command exited but only on the next X event.
64 - changed terminfo file not to use application keypad mode.
65 - fix the issue where making a selection in one urxvtd window
66 would not clear it visually in another.
67 - fix an issue of urxvt not getting background pixmap updates
68 and flickering after bg pixmap changes (reported by Mikachu).
69 - fix redraw bug in xterm scrollbar with -sr (reported by Mikachu).
70 - correctly provide dependencies for libev (µikachu).
71 - minor code reorganisations and cleanups.
72 - be more robust in case the urxvt-popup extension cannot be loaded.
73
748.8 Sat Dec 15 19:40:39 CET 2007
75 - option -C was aliased to all unsupported options, activating
76 options that shouldn't be compiled in, leading to interesting
77 effects.
78 - updated libev, working around a bug in linux 2.4, curing the
79 symptom of urxvt not closing its window on shell exit. also
80 fixes a problem with urxvt not refreshing.
81 - the text blink callback was called even when no blinking
82 text was visible.
83 - pre-8.4 slipwheeling behaviour has been reinstated, with
84 some minor improvements.
85 - streamlined x events processing to only flush once per
86 display and not once per terminal window.
87 - quite a bit of minor code cleanups and codesize optimisations.
88
898.7 Sun Nov 25 10:23:49 CET 2007
90 - update libev with an important bugfix that would cause crashes
91 when closing windows (when using rxvtd, and update is recommended).
92 - do not compile in the block builtin graphics with --disable-frills.
93
948.6 Fri Nov 23 14:10:57 CET 2007
95 - upgrade libev to disable kqueue on anything but netbsd as it
96 seems to be broken everywhere else w.r.t. ptys.
97 - allow for spurious event notifications, as at least epoll and
98 especially solaris ports like to lie about them (symptoms:
99 urxvt "hangs" until there is some x11 related activity).
100 - -keysym command line options are now subjected to xlib parsing.
101 - add 'xrm' option analogous to Xt one.
102
1038.5a Wed Nov 21 10:16:33 CET 2007
104 - make it compile with --disable-transparency.
105
1068.5 Wed Nov 21 05:19:20 CET 2007
107 - expect major portability issues in this release: please test and report.
108 - converted from the veritable io manager event loop to
109 the high performance libev (http://software.schmorp.de/pkg/libev).
110 - minor tuning to the perl selection (include single words and more quoting chars).
111 - fix memory leak in pixmap code.
112 - fix a serious bug while setting the XIM destroy callback
113 on (typical) 64 bit systems.
114 - automove-background functionality re-implemented internaly using :root op in pixmap
115 geometry string. For example: rxvt -pixmap "image.jpg;:root"
116 - do not link rxvtc against every lib on the planet anymore.
117 - parallel builds should work once more.
118
1198.4 Sat Oct 27 14:02:13 CEST 2007
120 - overhaul of the transparency/pixmap code (sasha).
121 - fix possible race betwen visual bell and poweron.
122 (reported by Martin von Gagern, gentoo?).
123 - urxvt -e no longer crashes the child.
124 - fixed some minor memleaks on incorrect usage or
125 missing DISPLAY.
126 - implement xterm 1002/1003 mouse tracking modes (exg).
127 - source code organisational cleanups (exg).
128 - updated io_manager.
129
1308.3 Wed Aug 1 20:21:31 CEST 2007
131 - new option: skipScroll/-ss, enabled by default.
132 - go with the times and expect x11 library files in /usr/lib, not
133 /usr/X11R6/lib.
134 - initial transparency improvement/afterimage support
135 patch by Sasha Vasko.
136 - add urgentOnBell resource to set the urgency hint
137 (patch by Philip Paeps).
138 - do not process focus events caused by grabs
139 (patch by Mikachu).
140 - add iso14755_52 resource to disable iso14755 5.2 (exg).
141 - add binding for backspace in iso14755 5.1 to remove the last
142 digit (exg).
143 - better option handling, support more than 30 options (exg).
144 - nuke reconf script, serves no purpose anymore.
145 - fixed and documented matcher/on_user_command processing in matcher
146 extension (tpope).
147 - compile out of the box on Solaris 10 (exg).
148 - fix MappingNotify events (reported by Stephan Walter).
149 - zero-initialise mwmhints, this seems to solve all sorts of minor
150 problems.
151
1528.2 Sat Feb 17 21:35:28 CET 2007
153 - fix make depend in src/, reported by exg.
154 - fixed typo in urxvt::GET_CUSTOM, causing the result to be wrong.
155 (patch by Sergey Vlasov).
156 - unbundled iom perl interface somewhat.
157 - scrollbar-xterm now uses the selected scrollColor instead of fg
158 (found by Aiviru).
159 - disabled linux kernel bug workaround again: disabling it gives
160 a 50% speed hit on affected machines, while enabling it gives
161 a similar speed hit to screen, which is likely the more common
162 case to work around for :/
163 - urxvt::rend2mask perl function, and utilization of it by matcher
164 (patch by Moshe Kamensky).
165 - use perl:matcher on a keysym to open most recently displayed URL.
166 - with matcher, when multiple patterns match, last wins, not first.
167 - fix make and make install with srcdir != builddir (exg).
168 - updated bundled libptytty to fix a bug where the tty would be kept
169 open (see the libptytty ChangeLog for details).
170 - delay setting the IUTF8 flag to after the tty settings have been
171 set so its value does not get lost (reported and analysed by Andrei
172 Paskevich).
173 - rip out support for obsolete sgtty.h interface.
174 - rip out support for non-POSIX termios variants.
175 - update libptytty.
176 - update iom.C, make it call ptytty::sanitise_stdfd on init.
177 - when !XFT, change rounding of colours to use a less correct formula to
178 meet user expectancies (#aaa becomes #a000a000a000 not #9f9f9f9f9f9f).
179 - change the starting offset of the pixmap set with backgroundPixmap
180 from (50,50) to (0,0) (exg).
181 - fix a typo in button_release, now meta-button2 request the value of
182 the Clipboard selection as it should (patch by Serge Koksharov).
183 - fix a bug in drawing a cell with a nonspacing char when using an xft
184 font with inheritPixmap and tintColor (exg).
185
1868.1 Thu Dec 7 22:27:25 CET 2006
187 - ケリスマスプレゼント - zomg!!1, it's too early!!!
188 - fix the assumption that chars < 256 are single-width. Now
189 only assume this for codepoints 32 to 126 (reported by Dai.H.).
190 - $term->strwidth returned wide chars as width 1, because some jerk
191 confused min and max. Fixing this also fixes xim-onthespot.
192 Reported by Takano Akio.
193 - secondaryScroll is now enabled by default (as per the manpage),
194 reported by exg.
195 - correct the description of [percent]color rgba format in the manpage.
196 - incorporated macosx-clipboard extension by Samuel Ljungkvist.
197 - ignore (some) useless focus events (reported by mmc).
198 - updated compose table to unicode 5.0.0.
199
2008.0 Thu Nov 2 18:35:19 CET 2006
201 - combining characters cleared the area instead of creating an overlay,
202 thus losing the ability to draw combining characters properly in most
203 circumstances (reported by exg).
204 - specified fonts were incorrectly morphed to bold/italic according to the
205 basefont, even if explicitly specified (tracked down by tpope).
206 - fixed urxvt::strwidth to calculate width in the same way as screen.C.
207 - fix a crash caused by passing negative widths to overlay functions.
208 - added 'matcher' extension by tpope, replacing the mark-urls extension.
209 - improve url regex to match anything www.* (tpope).
210 - fixed bug with outline cursor color being wrong after xft fonts.
211 - update to libptytty-1.0.
212 - give proper diagnostic when RXVT_SOCKET is too long instead of
213 corrupting the stack (patch by exg).
214 - display current terminal locale in option menu.
215 - urxvtd no longer crashes when the client sends an inaccessible
216 working directory (reported by Roland Baer, possibly fixes gentoo
217 bug #143985).
218 - fixed many minor issues reported by Roland Baer.
219 - Leonid Khramov spotted a minor glitch in rxvtfont.C that
220 should not have any consequences, but was buggy nonetheless.
221 - manpage fix by exg.
222
2237.9 Mon Aug 7 18:16:07 CEST 2006
224 - fix the crashing bug people encountered with 7.8 + urxvtd + perl
225 + transparency. Ought to fix debian bug #380348.
226 - fix urxvtc.1.pod: it actually claimed -pty-fd would not work. But
227 it does! :->
228 - rxvt_fatal() in case the locale string is too long for our static buffer.
229 - fixed many, many, typos in the manpages (patch supplied by ves).
230
2317.8 Mon Jul 17 21:00:46 CEST 2006
232 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: this version will always read ~/.Xdefaults,
233 earlier versions only read it if display-resources (usually from
234 .Xresources) are not set. This avoids the #1 FAQ ("why isn't my
235 resource used") and seems to be logical behaviour, too. .Xdefaults
236 resources have a lower priority than display-specific resources.
237 - add "kuake" perl extension that does a similar thing to the kuake
238 terminal emulator (see man urxtvperl).
239 - use less "correct" color scaling that is compatible with libX11 and
240 Xft (avoids off-by-one colors resulting in striped backgrounds).
241 - the "depth" resource is now respected.
242 - preset the searchable-scrollback pattern with "(?i)" to default search
243 to case-insensitivity. Will automatically be cleared when typing an
244 uppercase character.
245 - add FORCE_UNBUFFERED_XFT define to features.h.
246 - re-enabled highlightcolor support with --enable-frills, based on
247 a patch by Martin Stubenschrott.
248 - double-buffered xft drawing did suffer from pixel offset issues
249 when pixmap transparency was enabled.
250 - strategically add # to the url-match regexes, as we really want to
251 match common URIs not common URLs. Reported by Aaron Griffin.
252 - moved on_osc_seq to on_osc_seq_perl and added a more
253 generic osc_seq.
254 - fix a bug causing double callback invocations when perl hooks
255 were invoked recursively.
256 - the automove-background extension now properly works when the
257 pixmap gets reset with an osc sequence (sqweek).
258 - selection-pastebin did not work properly with non-latin1-characters.
259 - apply colorUL only when the text colour is the default fg
260 (patch by Wu Fengguang).
261 - removed rxvtlib.h from the tarball, it had no reason to be there
262 (spotted by Decklin Foster).
263 - fix compiling with TRANSPARENT but !XPM_BACKGROUND, as reported
264 by omatunto_.
265 - slap in a using namespace std, might help on platforms that don't
266 follow C++ closely enough.
267 - fix mailto url regex, spotted within milliseconds by Jost Krieger.
268 - applied fade_color_update_func.patch by WU Fengguang.
269 - fix a bug where (due to an optimisation in av_delete), hiding the
270 bottom-most overlay would hide two overlays.

34 - fix a race resulting in a crash on exiting. 294 - fix a race resulting in a crash on exiting.
295 - fix a with --disable-xft that caused xfreecolors to be called on

297 - resources on non-initial screens weren't refetched correctly
298 (reported by Paco-Paco).
299 - fix a bug in xcopyarea pass and _disable_ it, as it seems not to be
300 working in either rxvt-unicode nor in the original rxvt.
301 - removed undocumented -exec alias for the -e option.
