26
27TODO: memory leak for((i=0;i<1000;++o)); do rxvtc -g 1x1 -e exit;done
28 - made tabs moveable (based on a patch by Petr Machata).
29 - support relative paths for RXVT_SOCKET in urxvtd.
30 - better diagnostic on 0x0 window geometries.
31
32TODO: implement initial chdir for tabs by making it a resource?
339.02 Tue Jan 29 11:58:36 CET 2008
34 - the "exg makes everybody happy" release.
35 - fix build with !xft.
36 - always compile in plain style scrollbar (simplifies code and looks great).
37
389.01 Sat Jan 26 20:49:27 CET 2008
39 - be more aggressive about handling X events, this seems to be required
40 with newer xlibs (should fix the "screen stays black until event is
41 received" problem, again :)
42 - add buffered resource to control xft double-buffering.
43
449.0 Fri Jan 25 19:34:04 CET 2008
45 - fix a crash bug where urxvtd would crash when urxvtc was called
46 with wrong arguments (I wish debian maintainers in general would
47 report bugs and their proposed fixes to the original package maintaienrs
48 instead of sitting on them for good measure to see if anybody notices).
49 - drawing xft compose characters was causing garbage to be drawn.
50 - correctly clear xft character background in all cases.
51 - implement bracketed paste mode (xterm private mode 2004).
52 - improve documentation on alpha channel handling, make urxvt
53 work better on servers lacking the RENDER extension when alpha
54 channels or background images are used.
55 - check for refresh after initialising to avoid staying blank
56 till the first event arrives. or so.
57 - the FORCE_UNBUFFERED_XFT feature macro works again.
58 - continuously update transparency while moving/resizing now.
59 - OSC 39/49 are deprecated and aliased to OSC 10/11.
60 - cub1 now acts as advertised (and ignores the "wrapped" state).
61 - the 132/80 mode switch now forces a height of 24, too, and
62 resets the terminal.
63 - scrollbar code cleanups.
64 - stopping children is no longer confused with children exiting.
65 - removed (undocumented) #aarrggbb format.
66 - updated to libev 3.0.
67
688.9 Mon Dec 24 07:51:40 CET 2007
69 - fix the issue where urxvtd would not immediately close a window
70 when the command exited but only on the next X event.
71 - changed terminfo file not to use application keypad mode.
72 - fix the issue where making a selection in one urxvtd window
73 would not clear it visually in another.
74 - fix an issue of urxvt not getting background pixmap updates
75 and flickering after bg pixmap changes (reported by Mikachu).
76 - fix redraw bug in xterm scrollbar with -sr (reported by Mikachu).
77 - correctly provide dependencies for libev (µikachu).
78 - minor code reorganisations and cleanups.
79 - be more robust in case the urxvt-popup extension cannot be loaded.
80
818.8 Sat Dec 15 19:40:39 CET 2007
82 - option -C was aliased to all unsupported options, activating
83 options that shouldn't be compiled in, leading to interesting
84 effects.
85 - updated libev, working around a bug in linux 2.4, curing the
86 symptom of urxvt not closing its window on shell exit. also
87 fixes a problem with urxvt not refreshing.
88 - the text blink callback was called even when no blinking
89 text was visible.
90 - pre-8.4 slipwheeling behaviour has been reinstated, with
91 some minor improvements.
92 - streamlined x events processing to only flush once per
93 display and not once per terminal window.
94 - quite a bit of minor code cleanups and codesize optimisations.
95
968.7 Sun Nov 25 10:23:49 CET 2007
97 - update libev with an important bugfix that would cause crashes
98 when closing windows (when using rxvtd, and update is recommended).
99 - do not compile in the block builtin graphics with --disable-frills.
100
1018.6 Fri Nov 23 14:10:57 CET 2007
102 - upgrade libev to disable kqueue on anything but netbsd as it
103 seems to be broken everywhere else w.r.t. ptys.
104 - allow for spurious event notifications, as at least epoll and
105 especially solaris ports like to lie about them (symptoms:
106 urxvt "hangs" until there is some x11 related activity).
107 - -keysym command line options are now subjected to xlib parsing.
108 - add 'xrm' option analogous to Xt one.
109
1108.5a Wed Nov 21 10:16:33 CET 2007
111 - make it compile with --disable-transparency.
112
1138.5 Wed Nov 21 05:19:20 CET 2007
114 - expect major portability issues in this release: please test and report.
115 - converted from the veritable io manager event loop to
116 the high performance libev (http://software.schmorp.de/pkg/libev).
117 - minor tuning to the perl selection (include single words and more quoting chars).
118 - fix memory leak in pixmap code.
119 - fix a serious bug while setting the XIM destroy callback
120 on (typical) 64 bit systems.
121 - automove-background functionality re-implemented internaly using :root op in pixmap
122 geometry string. For example: rxvt -pixmap "image.jpg;:root"
123 - do not link rxvtc against every lib on the planet anymore.
124 - parallel builds should work once more.
125
1268.4 Sat Oct 27 14:02:13 CEST 2007
127 - overhaul of the transparency/pixmap code (sasha).
128 - fix possible race betwen visual bell and poweron.
129 (reported by Martin von Gagern, gentoo?).
130 - urxvt -e no longer crashes the child.
131 - fixed some minor memleaks on incorrect usage or
132 missing DISPLAY.
133 - implement xterm 1002/1003 mouse tracking modes (exg).
134 - source code organisational cleanups (exg).
135 - updated io_manager.
136
1378.3 Wed Aug 1 20:21:31 CEST 2007
138 - new option: skipScroll/-ss, enabled by default.
139 - go with the times and expect x11 library files in /usr/lib, not
140 /usr/X11R6/lib.
141 - initial transparency improvement/afterimage support
142 patch by Sasha Vasko.
143 - add urgentOnBell resource to set the urgency hint
144 (patch by Philip Paeps).
145 - do not process focus events caused by grabs
146 (patch by Mikachu).
147 - add iso14755_52 resource to disable iso14755 5.2 (exg).
148 - add binding for backspace in iso14755 5.1 to remove the last
149 digit (exg).
150 - better option handling, support more than 30 options (exg).
151 - nuke reconf script, serves no purpose anymore.
152 - fixed and documented matcher/on_user_command processing in matcher
153 extension (tpope).
154 - compile out of the box on Solaris 10 (exg).
155 - fix MappingNotify events (reported by Stephan Walter).
156 - zero-initialise mwmhints, this seems to solve all sorts of minor
157 problems.
158
1598.2 Sat Feb 17 21:35:28 CET 2007
160 - fix make depend in src/, reported by exg.
161 - fixed typo in urxvt::GET_CUSTOM, causing the result to be wrong.
162 (patch by Sergey Vlasov).
163 - unbundled iom perl interface somewhat.
164 - scrollbar-xterm now uses the selected scrollColor instead of fg
165 (found by Aiviru).
166 - disabled linux kernel bug workaround again: disabling it gives
167 a 50% speed hit on affected machines, while enabling it gives
168 a similar speed hit to screen, which is likely the more common
169 case to work around for :/
170 - urxvt::rend2mask perl function, and utilization of it by matcher
171 (patch by Moshe Kamensky).
172 - use perl:matcher on a keysym to open most recently displayed URL.
173 - with matcher, when multiple patterns match, last wins, not first.
174 - fix make and make install with srcdir != builddir (exg).
175 - updated bundled libptytty to fix a bug where the tty would be kept
176 open (see the libptytty ChangeLog for details).
177 - delay setting the IUTF8 flag to after the tty settings have been
178 set so its value does not get lost (reported and analysed by Andrei
179 Paskevich).
180 - rip out support for obsolete sgtty.h interface.
181 - rip out support for non-POSIX termios variants.
182 - update libptytty.
183 - update iom.C, make it call ptytty::sanitise_stdfd on init.
184 - when !XFT, change rounding of colours to use a less correct formula to
185 meet user expectancies (#aaa becomes #a000a000a000 not #9f9f9f9f9f9f).
186 - change the starting offset of the pixmap set with backgroundPixmap
187 from (50,50) to (0,0) (exg).
188 - fix a typo in button_release, now meta-button2 request the value of
189 the Clipboard selection as it should (patch by Serge Koksharov).
190 - fix a bug in drawing a cell with a nonspacing char when using an xft
191 font with inheritPixmap and tintColor (exg).
192
1938.1 Thu Dec 7 22:27:25 CET 2006
194 - ケリスマスプレゼント - zomg!!1, it's too early!!!
195 - fix the assumption that chars < 256 are single-width. Now
196 only assume this for codepoints 32 to 126 (reported by Dai.H.).
197 - $term->strwidth returned wide chars as width 1, because some jerk
198 confused min and max. Fixing this also fixes xim-onthespot.
199 Reported by Takano Akio.
200 - secondaryScroll is now enabled by default (as per the manpage),
201 reported by exg.
202 - correct the description of [percent]color rgba format in the manpage.
203 - incorporated macosx-clipboard extension by Samuel Ljungkvist.
204 - ignore (some) useless focus events (reported by mmc).
205 - updated compose table to unicode 5.0.0.
206
2078.0 Thu Nov 2 18:35:19 CET 2006
208 - combining characters cleared the area instead of creating an overlay,
209 thus losing the ability to draw combining characters properly in most
210 circumstances (reported by exg).
211 - specified fonts were incorrectly morphed to bold/italic according to the
212 basefont, even if explicitly specified (tracked down by tpope).
213 - fixed urxvt::strwidth to calculate width in the same way as screen.C.
214 - fix a crash caused by passing negative widths to overlay functions.
215 - added 'matcher' extension by tpope, replacing the mark-urls extension.
216 - improve url regex to match anything www.* (tpope).
217 - fixed bug with outline cursor color being wrong after xft fonts.
218 - update to libptytty-1.0.
219 - give proper diagnostic when RXVT_SOCKET is too long instead of
220 corrupting the stack (patch by exg).
221 - display current terminal locale in option menu.
222 - urxvtd no longer crashes when the client sends an inaccessible
223 working directory (reported by Roland Baer, possibly fixes gentoo
224 bug #143985).
225 - fixed many minor issues reported by Roland Baer.
226 - Leonid Khramov spotted a minor glitch in rxvtfont.C that
227 should not have any consequences, but was buggy nonetheless.
228 - manpage fix by exg.
229
2307.9 Mon Aug 7 18:16:07 CEST 2006
231 - fix the crashing bug people encountered with 7.8 + urxvtd + perl
232 + transparency. Ought to fix debian bug #380348.
233 - fix urxvtc.1.pod: it actually claimed -pty-fd would not work. But
234 it does! :->
235 - rxvt_fatal() in case the locale string is too long for our static buffer.
236 - fixed many, many, typos in the manpages (patch supplied by ves).
237
2387.8 Mon Jul 17 21:00:46 CEST 2006
239 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: this version will always read ~/.Xdefaults,
240 earlier versions only read it if display-resources (usually from
241 .Xresources) are not set. This avoids the #1 FAQ ("why isn't my
242 resource used") and seems to be logical behaviour, too. .Xdefaults
243 resources have a lower priority than display-specific resources.
244 - add "kuake" perl extension that does a similar thing to the kuake
245 terminal emulator (see man urxtvperl).
246 - use less "correct" color scaling that is compatible with libX11 and
247 Xft (avoids off-by-one colors resulting in striped backgrounds).
248 - the "depth" resource is now respected.
249 - preset the searchable-scrollback pattern with "(?i)" to default search
250 to case-insensitivity. Will automatically be cleared when typing an
251 uppercase character.
252 - add FORCE_UNBUFFERED_XFT define to features.h.
253 - re-enabled highlightcolor support with --enable-frills, based on
254 a patch by Martin Stubenschrott.
255 - double-buffered xft drawing did suffer from pixel offset issues
256 when pixmap transparency was enabled.
257 - strategically add # to the url-match regexes, as we really want to
258 match common URIs not common URLs. Reported by Aaron Griffin.
259 - moved on_osc_seq to on_osc_seq_perl and added a more
260 generic osc_seq.
261 - fix a bug causing double callback invocations when perl hooks
262 were invoked recursively.
263 - the automove-background extension now properly works when the
264 pixmap gets reset with an osc sequence (sqweek).
265 - selection-pastebin did not work properly with non-latin1-characters.
266 - apply colorUL only when the text colour is the default fg
267 (patch by Wu Fengguang).
268 - removed rxvtlib.h from the tarball, it had no reason to be there
269 (spotted by Decklin Foster).
270 - fix compiling with TRANSPARENT but !XPM_BACKGROUND, as reported
271 by omatunto_.
272 - slap in a using namespace std, might help on platforms that don't
273 follow C++ closely enough.
274 - fix mailto url regex, spotted within milliseconds by Jost Krieger.
275 - applied fade_color_update_func.patch by WU Fengguang.
276 - fix a bug where (due to an optimisation in av_delete), hiding the
277 bottom-most overlay would hide two overlays.
278
2797.7 Tue Feb 21 12:32:49 CET 2006
280 - use double-buffered drawing (xft fonts only). On many driver/hardware
281 combination this actually increases xft drawing speed, at the expense
282 of more network bandwidth and slight nausea on the side of the author.
283 - readline perl extension now requires shift-click instead of a normal
284 click, and eats the click.
285 - tabbed perl extension now supports -e.
286 - disabled graphics-exposures on the main drawing GC, report any
287 refresh bugs please.
288 - improve property handling for -pe tabbed: avoid unnecessary property
289 changes (for kde's benefit) at the expense of extra round-trips,
290 improve size hint setting.
291 - modified XIM according to a patch sent by Takano Akio that sets
292 the preedit rectangle for OverTheSpot, which helps some input methods
293 to correctly position their preedit window.
294 - un-optimise the line clearing on newly scrolled-in lines a bit: the
295 former reasoning was that any fg colour on default bg looks the same
296 in empty spaces, but thats not true when reversing (e.g. selection),
297 so also check for matching fg colours. This fixes the problem where
298 selecting newly scrolled-in lines would exhibit wrong colours.
299 - fix a bug in the perl interface causing focus in events to generate
300 focus out perl events, causing bad focus effects with -pe tabbed.
301 - fix a race resulting in a crash on exiting.
302 - fix a with --disable-xft that caused xfreecolors to be called on
303 colors never allocated, resulting in aborts (reported by Paco-Paco).
304 - resources on non-initial screens weren't refetched correctly
305 (reported by Paco-Paco).
306 - fix a bug in xcopyarea pass and _disable_ it, as it seems not to be
307 working in either rxvt-unicode nor in the original rxvt.
308 - removed undocumented -exec alias for the -e option.
309

315 - the tabbed extension now forwards focus and keys events to th
316 relevant tab window.
317 - tab colours are now configurable and have sensible defaults
318 (initial patch by hednod).
319 - option menu is extendable, readline, selection and
320 selection-autotransform can now be disabled/enabled at runtime.
321 - forcing a configure event to tabbed subwindows with -pe tabbed, for
322 the benefit of automove-background.
323 - the automove-background extension added a wrong constant offset.
25 - force refresh of XA_RESOURCE_STRING on virtual reconnect. 324 - force refresh of XA_RESOURCE_STRING on virtual reconnect.
26 - return exit status 2 in urxvtc when urxvtd couldn't be contacted. 325 - return exit status 2 in urxvtc when urxvtd couldn't be contacted.
