329.16
33 - the "so much new stuff you eyes will pop out" release.
34 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: renamed urlLauncher resource to url-launcher.
35 - remove support for libafterimage.
36 - fix processing of DEC private mode save sequences (patch by Patrick
37 Hemmer).
38 - fix disabling of cursor blink with the option-popup menu (based on a
39 patch by Jan Larres).
40 - the font height is not augmented anymore when lineSpace is non zero.
41 - fix "new pagemap" vs. "delete pagemap" mismatch ([] vs. non-[]),
42 as diagnosed by clang.
43 - fix height mismatch between active and inactive cursor when
44 lineSpace is non zero (patch by Stanislav Seletskiy).
45 - make it compile with LOCAL_X_IS_UNIX again (reported by
46 nickfailure@gmail.com).
47 - update to CVS version of libev, for a whopping 11kb size decrease.
48 - do not ship yet another copy of ecb.h, use the one in libev or
49 libptytty instead.
50 - allocate all screen memory in one go and let the virtual memory
51 subsystem sort it out. this simplifies code, improves access
52 locality, saves a bit of ram and makes things a bit faster, too.
53 - selectively mark some methods as cache-hot/cache cold, which
54 might speed up execution but definitely decreases codesize.
55 - new env variable: RXVT_PERL_LIB.
56 - iso14755 51 mode window now displays row and column.
57 - perl extensions can now provide commandline switches and resources
58 which show up in -help etc.
23 59
24TODO: rxvt -font 10x20 -xrm "*.tabbed.font: 10x20" -pe tabbed 609.15 Sat Jan 21 13:36:56 CET 2012
25 how does one affect the tab windows themselves? seems not to work anymore. 61 - remove "using namespace std" because clang erroneously
62 thinks thats an error.
63 - finding a matching font (e.g. bold version of the base font)
64 was broken (reported by Eamon Walker).
65 - fix parsing of bg image styles. They really work now.
66 - fix blurring of bg image borders when using xrender.
67 - fix xrender blur on common xrender implementations that do
68 not behave correctly when the same pixmap is used as source
69 and destination in composite operations.
70 - fix regression that caused tabbed to compute the wrong size
71 for tabs.
72 - allow again an empty suffix in a keysym list spec (patch by
73 Sung Pae).
74 - unsupported support for sun studio's CC added.
75 - fix -C option on solaris.
26 76
27TODO: memory leak for((i=0;i<1000;++o)); do rxvtc -g 1x1 -e exit;done 779.14 Wed Dec 21 18:40:33 CET 2011
78 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: the urxvtd default socket path is now
79 $HOME/.urxvt/urxvtd-<nodename>.
80 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: the "list" keysym expansion now requires
81 loading of the "keysym-list" perl extension.
82 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: A scale value of 0 in the bg image
83 geometry no longer enables tiling, so as to make it possible
84 to disable both scaling and tiling.
85 - overhaul of the bg image operations. The old operations have
86 been deprecated in favour of elementary operations and
87 styles built on top of the new operations and scale/position
88 settings. (Emanuele Giaquinta).
89 - support for libafterimage is deprecated and will be removed
90 in the next release.
91 - fix a crash caused by selection_check not properly resetting
92 out-of-bounds mark values (can happen when extending a selection
93 while scrolling up in curses programs for example).
94 - do not move the selection when scrolling up and the selection is
95 outside the scrolling region (Emanuele Giaquinta).
96 - fix display of bold bright black (reported by Ben Winslow).
97 - fix memory leak when urgentOnBell is set (patch by Nathaniel
98 Filardo).
99 - fix a redraw bug that occurs when a bg pixmap is set and the
100 wm does not honour the size hints set by urxvt. Now urxvt
101 forces the size of the terminal window to be a multiple of
102 the cell size.
103 - sanitise the argument of SD / SU sequences. Fixes a possible
104 crash when the argument is big enough, red hat bug #711137
105 (Emanuele Giaquinta).
106 - correctly split long lines when scrolling.
107 - urxvt now looks for perl extensions also in $HOME/.urxvt/ext.
108 - add bell-command perl extension to execute a command when a
109 bell event occurs (Ryan Kavanagh).
110 - add set_urgency perl binding to set/reset the urgency hint.
111 - consume button release event in matcher (exg).
112 - keyboard accessible list of recent matches in matcher
113 (Bob Farrell).
114 - properly process 'keysym' sequences in tabbed when using
115 'focus follows mouse' and the focus is on the main window
116 but not on the active terminal window (patch by Martin
117 Pohlack).
118 - support for the freedesktop startup-notification protocol (patch by
119 Michael Stapelberg).
120 - the direction of VPR and VPB commands was reversed.
121 - fix alignment of inherited root pixmap when it is a different size
122 than the root window and the terminal window is off the left or top
123 edge (Mikachu).
124 - make $self visible in "eval perl expression" popup action, also
125 handle exceptions better.
126 - fix parsing of '-e' when it occurs as an option argument, such as in
127 'urxvt -title -e' (Emanuele Giaquinta).
128
1299.12 Wed Jun 29 14:34:28 CEST 2011
130 - fix regression in processing of SelectionNotify events.
131 urxvt would fail to request a selection if the owner did not
132 support the UTF8_STRING target.
133 - fix rendering of double width chars in certain circumstances, more
134 likely to happen if urxvt is compiled with 256 colors support as
135 urxvt runs out of fonts much earlier then. Fixes gentoo bug #358151
136 (Emanuele Giaquinta).
137 - restore support for 'list' syntax in keysym resources (requested by Sung Pae).
138 - always premultiply colour values - while this increases differences between
139 core fonts and xft, it is "more correct" in practical situations.
140 - disable PTYTTY_REENTRANT option - not needed for urxvt and saves a bit of code.
141 - remove lucidatypewriter from the list of fallback fonts, it was the only
142 non-xft non-cellfont in the list anyway.
143
1449.11 Mon May 2 10:34:46 CEST 2011
145 - fix compilation on GNU/Hurd, debian bug #624736.
146 - remove 'list' syntax for keysym resources, as it serves no useful purpose.
147 If you need it, poke us and provide a use case.
148 - fix alpha channel support. Premultiply alpha in colours if the visual
149 supports an alpha channel, as xrender expects premultiplied alpha
150 (Emanuele Giaquinta).
151 - fix reply to a selection request sent by an obsolete client
152 such as syncterm (patch by Marcin Cieslak).
153 - fix crash when the window is resized and the overlay is active
154 (Emanuele Giaquinta, reported by Ryan Kavanagh).
155 - match character-wise rather than byte-wise in selection
156 extension again. perl 5.8.9+ is required to avoid extreme
157 slowdowns. Fixes debian bugs #523072, #616463.
158 - fix a possible crash if the INCR transfer process for a
159 selection property timeouts and at least one chunk is
160 received. (Emanuele Giaquinta)
161 - work around a memory corruption bug in xorg's XrmSetDatabase (apparently
162 broken since http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/xorg-commit-diffs/2004-March/000239.html).
163 - fix memory corruption bug when custom command sequences bound to keys
164 were injected into an already-full pty input buffer.
165 - gdk-pixbuf is autodetected by default and preferred over libafterimage.
166 - do not prepend a newline to the selection text when the starting line
167 of the selection is not highlighted (Emanuele Giaquinta).
168 - don't swap perl env with real env, save and restore it, just in case
169 we ever get recursive perl invocations. also saves a bit of codespace
170 with gcc.
171 - fix various memory leaks (Emanuele Giaquinta).
172 - fix typo in kIC terminfo capability, debian bug #446444.
173 - document 'thickness' resource.
174 - fix debian bug #504817, to the extent possible.
175 - try to detect byte order at compile time, saves a couple of
176 hundred bytes, if your compiler is smart enough.
177 - add support for previewing the pasted data in confirm-paste
178 (Emanuele Giaquinta).
179 - added "newlines to spaces" option in selection-popup.
180 - actually enabled solaris event ports backend (was disabled by accident).
181 - revert to 38400 baud max., mission accomplished.
182 - no longer create scary "pty_fill: PLEASE REPORT" message, instead,
183 silently drain the input (problem is well understood now).
184 - no longer swallow rob nation's own graphics mode commands.
185
1869.10 Mon Dec 13 17:43:52 CET 2010
187 - the "schmorp=north korea dickey=south korea" release.
188 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: make OSC 20 simpler and more correct
189 (Emanuele Giaquinta).
190 - if options were compiled out, this could lead to the option
191 count to be defined wrongly. This is likely behind the
192 failures with gcc 4.5.
193 - explicitly depend on fontconfig and xrender when xft support
194 is enabled. Although the public Xft api uses types from
195 both, in Xft 2.2.0 these libs are private
196 dependencies only thanks to an idiotic behaviour of
197 pkg-config that was added to workaround cases like this one.
198 Fixes linking when using GNU ld with --as-needed or GNU gold
199 (based on patch by Jan Palus).
200 - fix minor memory leaks in urxvt and urxvtd.
201 - fix regression in urxvtd that prevented options from being correctly
202 set (reported by Michal Vaner).
203 - implement xterm's horribly broken 1005 mouse reporting mode,
204 and an alternative 1015 mode that works in non-utf-8 locales
205 and has fewer limitations.
206 - fix a possible bug where mouse notifications didn't work after
207 startup for the upper left corner.
208 - implement our own pixbuf to pixmap rendering to get rid of
209 dependency on buggy gdk-pixbuf-xlib. Only truecolor visuals
210 are supported (Emanuele Giaquinta).
211 - apply tinting before shading when both operations are requested.
212 Previously they were intermixed when lightening and the result
213 was inaccurate and confusing. Note that now a black tint yields a
214 completely black image, regardless of shading (Emanuele Giaquinta).
215 - avoid spurious redraws of the bg image when bg is transparent or
216 when using 'root' mode (Emanuele Giaquinta).
217 - fix build on XFree86.
218 - dynamically number options according to compiletime requirements.
219 For the extra saved byte. Or so. Yay.
220 - start options at one, not zero. Wastes a bit per terminal. Maybe.
221 saves 50 instruction bytes. Possibly.
222
2239.09 Sat Nov 13 01:39:07 CET 2010
224 - NOTICE: this release updates terminfo/termcap.
225 - the bestest release ever.
226 - it was verified that urxvt handles µ and μ correctly.
227 - add support for blending and blurring with XRender (Emanuele Giaquinta).
228 - add support for using gdk-pixbuf as image backend (Emanuele Giaquinta).
229 - cleanup and minor fixes of the image code (Emanuele Giaquinta).
230 - new perl extension "confirm-paste" (Emanuele Giaquinta).
231 - new on_tt_paste perl hook and tt_paste perl binding (Emanuele Giaquinta).
232 - new on_bell perl hook (Emanuele Giaquinta).
233 - searchable-scrollback no longer ignores the first line
234 (Emanuele Giaquinta).
235 - properly set VSTATUS in termios for *BSD (reported by Ed Schouten).
236 - fix utmpx detection on upcoming FreeBSD 9.
237 - Use COMPOUND_TEXT encoding for WM_NAME/WM_ICON_NAME value when it
238 is not fully convertible to STRING (patch by James Cloos).
239 - fix a buffer overflow that would cause wrong key sequences to
240 be generated for numpad keys (introduced in 9.05).
241 - fix definition of sgr0 to work around limitations in luit.
242 - extend ISO 14755 5.4 mode to also print the font name of the
243 characters other than first one in the selected cell
244 (Emanuele Giaquinta).
245 - new iso14755 option to disable ISO 14755 at runtime
246 (Emanuele Giaquinta).
247 - make sure pagewise scrolling scrolls at least one line
248 (found by Mikachu).
249 - remove deprecated OSC 18 / 19 and make OSC 17 / 19 apply to
250 highlightColor / highlightTextColor (Emanuele Giaquinta).
251 - add highlightTextColor resource to change the foreground colour of
252 highlighted characters (Emanuele Giaquinta).
253 - make highlightColor apply also to selected cells with reverse video
254 but not to non selected cells with reverse video (Emanuele Giaquinta).
255 - remove colorRV resource (it was enabled only with frills off).
256 - fix numlock handling, the most longstanding bug to date (Emanuele Giaquinta).
257 - reduce the number of custom bits to 4, to make room
258 for 256 colours.
259 - add support for 256 colors (Emanuele Giaquinta, Marc Lehmann).
260 - add rxvt-unicode-256color terminfo and use it by default in 256 colors mode.
261 - update rxvt-unicode terminfo to state 7744 colour pairs to cover all
262 88*88 possible pairs.
263 - actually added macosx-clipboard-native, which should have been in
264 the 9.07 release but had been forgotten.
265 - fix hang if DECAWM is not set and there are not enough columns to insert a
266 character (Emanuele Giaquinta).
267 - cub1 ("backspace") will now respect wrapping when past the rightmost column,
268 working around a shortcoming of most tty line discipline's line editing.
269 - add support for grabbing the clipboard selection and extend
270 selection{_clear,_grab,} perl bindings to optionally work
271 on the clipboard selection (based on patch by Dana Jansens).
272 - no longer force CERASE to BACKSPACE - use the system default. affects
273 default value for VERASE only when no compatible setting for
274 backspacekey was given.
275 - use higher than 38400 baudrate setting, if detected.
276 - erase screen would clear to the wrong background when blinking
277 was enabled (which selects high intensity under some circumstances).
278 - scr_kill_char didn't touch the line.
279 - upgrade and port to libev-4.01.
280 - enabled solaris event ports and kqueue backends (if available).
281
2829.07 Wed Dec 30 07:07:18 CET 2009
283 - port to glibc-2.10 changes (strchr etc. returning const char *
284 in C++), based on patches by Milos Jakubicek and Oliver Mader.
285 - the binary search algorithm to find precomposed characters
286 was faulty, skipping some possible combinations (found by
287 Mikachu).
288 - new -letterspace option, patch by Mark H. Wilkinson.
289 - enable --mlock option for urxvt with frills on
290 systems supporting it (patch by Russell Harmon).
291 - urxvt did not compile without frills enabled
292 (analysed by Matthew Rosewarne).
293 - correctly reset the mbstate after an illegal
294 input sequence when handling terminal output (Emanuele Giaquinta).
295 - avoid redrawing wide characters with combining enabled on every
296 refresh (reported by Mikachu).
297 - fix a typo preventing the ISO-646.1991 character set from being
298 recognized (http://achurch.org/patch-pile/).
299 - better warning for x11 font encoding detection failures, also,
300 try to deduce encoding from both font properties and name
301 (adapted from http://achurch.org/patch-pile/).
302 - resizing the window with the scrollbar disabled via the escapes
303 sequence could make the window bigger again (Mikachu).
304 - make sure the alignment for fd passing control messages
305 is correct and work around some NetBSD issues (Taylor R Campbell).
306 - update to libptytty 1.3.
307 - replace macosx-clipboard by a nicer version by Reza Jelveh, and move
308 the old version to macosx-clipboard-native.
309 - document the -uc option (Emanuele Giaquinta).
310 - assertions in libev are now enabled depending on frills.
311 - update AnyEvent implementation to version 5.23 API.
312 - work around arrogant bsd idiocies again: netbsd spills the default
313 namespace with lots of symbols "for gnu/gcc compatibility" even
314 though neither of them does it, and then calls the rest of the world
315 in need of fixing. go figure.
316 - on_keyboard_command is on_user_command (patch by Michael Witten).
317 - setting the selection from perl will now reset the selection screen
318 to the current screen. the screen can be manipulated using
319 the new ->selection_screen method.
320 - implement --enable-assert configure option and get rid of DEBUG_STRICT
321 (based on patch by Emanuele Giaquinta).

323 - allow `xxx' quoting style for perl selection.
324 - upgrade to libev-3.9 prerelease.
325 - updated compose tables to unicode 5.2.0.
326
3279.06 Sat Nov 8 17:47:18 CET 2008
328 - NOTICE: this release updates terminfo/termcap.
329 - updates libev to 3.48.
330 - the aterm code now frees the as visual and image manager objects
331 when a window was closed.
332 - do not (wrongly) adjust the virtual line length inside
333 scr_insdel_chars/ERASE (Miroslav Lichvar).
334 - fix an issue where wide tab characters caused character shifts
335 when part of them was deleted (tracked down by Miroslav Lichvar).
336 - artificially enlargen the previous character at the end of a line
337 when trying to output a character that doesn't fit. looks ugly, but
338 makes copy&paste work.
339 - remove bogus "setuid/setgid security issues" from rxvt.1.pod, they
340 no longer apply.
341 - the urgency hint is now cleared on both focus in and focus out.
342 - cache urgency hint locally to avoid server rtt on every focus change.
343 - perl 5.10 needs PERL_SYS_INIT3 on hppa.
344 - ignore byte-order marks and do not treat them like combining characters.
345 - fix build issue when CURSOR_BLINK is not defined (Emanuele Giaquinta).
346 - do some µ-optimisations to the character fast path.
347 - use a less cunning, but more robust algorithm to avoid one terminal
348 monopolising the whole process by outputting a lot of text.
349 - try to work around linux first breaking sched_yield and now breaking
350 the only known workaround.
351 - new option -icon to set _NET_WM_ICON (based on patch by Frank Schmitt).
352 - initialise the as visual only on demand, instead of unconditionally,
353 to save memory in the common case of not using visual gimmicks.
354 - try to work around bugs in a few wm's that erroneously resize
355 client windows on hint property updates by temporarily
356 disabling size hints.
357 - implement the DECSTR soft reset sequence and use it for tput init,
358 and make hard RIS and DECSTR both reset more private modes, such
359 as mouse reporting.
360 - redundantly clear mouse reporting and a few other states in
361 tput init/tput reset, for older urxvts.
362 - partial/full clear screens did cause flickering and possibly pixel
363 droppings when urxvt viewed the scrollback buffer.
364 - use current rendition style in DCH sequence.
365 - the 132/80 mode switch no longer forces a screen reset.
366 - add an osc sequence to change the border colour (Emanuele Giaquinta).
367 - new perl extension "overlay-osc", for status displays and the like.
368 - fix some minor cursor drawing issues with overlays by allowing
369 overlays to modify screen flags (to disable the cursor themselves).
370 - work around programs not restoring rstyle before rmcup
371 (analysed by Miroslav Lichvar).
372
3739.05 Sun Jun 15 20:09:20 CEST 2008
374 - new option --cd/chdir to set the starting working directory.
375 - tabbed extension now starts in the "correct" working directory.
376 - work around fedora 9 providing isastream but not the relevant
377 header file for it (report by Tuncer Ayaz).
378 - upgrade libev, fixing a bug in the select backend.
379 with more than 31 file descriptors on non-linux 64 bit systems.
380 - correctly reset the multibyte state to the initial one
381 after EILSEQ (patch by Neil Booth). This fixes the
382 issue of rxvt-unicode not properly displaying text after an illegal
383 sequence on NetBSD and probably other systems.
384 - more intelligent property handling with -pe tabbed, works around
385 broken window managers (kwm et al.), saves bandwidth and should
386 help working window managers as well.
28 - made tabs moveable (based on a patch by Petr Machata). 387 - made tabs moveable (based on a patch by Petr Machata).
388 - implement ESC [ 3 K as a more rational alternative to ESC [ 0 K.
29 - support relative paths for RXVT_SOCKET in urxvtd. 389 - support relative paths for RXVT_SOCKET in urxvtd.
390 - the tabbed extension now blindly copies over all (rxvt-) resources
391 from the toplevel window to the children.
30 - better diagnostic on 0x0 window geometries. 392 - better diagnostic on 0x0 window geometries.
31 393 - update AnyEvent API to version 3.4 and above.
32TODO: implement initial chdir for tabs by making it a resource? 394 - document the default value of :0 for DISPLAY.
