22TODO: /*TODO: the xlceararea/xfillrectangle below don't take scroll offste into account, ask mikachu for details */ 22TODO: - upgrade to libev-4.00.
23
24 - fix a buffer overflow that would cause wrong key sequences to
25 be generated for numpad keys (introduced in 9.05).
26 - fix definition of sgr0 to work around limitations in luit.
27 - extend ISO 14755 5.4 mode to also print the font name of the
28 characters other than first one in the selected cell
29 (Emanuele Giaquinta).
30 - new iso14755 option to disable ISO 14755 at runtime
31 (Emanuele Giaquinta).
32 - new on_bell perl hook (Emanuele Giaquinta).
33 - make sure pagewise scrolling scrolls at least one line
34 (found by Mikachu).
35 - make OSC 17 / 19 apply to highlightColor / highlightTextColor.
36 - remove deprecated OSC 18 / 19.
37 - add highlightTextColor resource to change the foreground colour of
38 highlighted characters.
39 - make highlightColor apply also to selected cells with reverse video
40 but not to non selected cells with reverse video.
41 - remove colorRV resource (it was enabled only with frills off).
42 - fix numlock handling, the most longstanding bug to date (Emanuele Giaquinta).
43 - searchable-scrollback no longer ignores the first line
44 (Emanuele Giaquinta).
45 - reduce the number of custom bits to 4, to make room
46 for 256 colours.
47 - add support for 256 colors.
48 - add rxvt-unicode-256color terminfo and use it by default in that mode.
49 - actually added macosx-clipboard-native, which should have been in
50 the 9.07 release but had been forgotten.
51 - add support for grabbing the clipboard selection and extend
52 selection{_clear,_grab,} perl bindings to optionally work
53 on the clipboard selection (based on patch by Dana Jansens).
54 - no longer force CERASE to DEL - use the system default. affects
55 default value for VERASE only when no compatible setting for
56 backspacekey was given.
57 - use higher than 38400 baudrate setting, if detected.
58 - erase screen would clear to the wrong background when blinking
59 was enabled (which selects high intensity under some circumstances).
60
619.07 Wed Dec 30 07:07:18 CET 2009
62 - port to glibc-2.10 changes (strchr etc. returning const char *
63 in C++), based on patches by Milos Jakubicek and Oliver Mader.
64 - the binary search algorithm to find precomposed characters
65 was faulty, skipping some possible combinations (found by
66 Mikachu).
67 - new -letterspace option, patch by Mark H. Wilkinson.
68 - enable --mlock option for urxvt with frills on
69 systems supporting it (patch by Russell Harmon).
70 - urxvt did not compile without frills enabled
71 (analysed by Matthew Rosewarne).
72 - correctly reset the mbstate after an illegal
73 input sequence when handling terminal output (Emanuele Giaquinta).
74 - avoid redrawing wide characters with combining enabled on every
75 refresh (reported by Mikachu).
76 - fix a typo preventing the ISO-646.1991 character set from being
77 recognized (http://achurch.org/patch-pile/).
78 - better warning for x11 font encoding detection failures, also,
79 try to deduce encoding from both font properties and name
80 (adapted from http://achurch.org/patch-pile/).
81 - resizing the window with the scrollbar disabled via the escapes
82 sequence could make the window bigger again (Mikachu).
83 - make sure the alignment for fd passing control messages
84 is correct and work around some NetBSD issues (Taylor R Campbell).
85 - update to libptytty 1.3.
86 - replace macosx-clipboard by a nicer version by Reza Jelveh, and move
87 the old version to macosx-clipboard-native.
88 - document the -uc option (Emanuele Giaquinta).
89 - assertions in libev are now enabled depending on frills.
90 - update AnyEvent implementation to version 5.23 API.
91 - work around arrogant bsd idiocies again: netbsd spills the default
92 namespace with lots of symbols "for gnu/gcc compatibility" even
93 though neither of them does it, and then calls the rest of the world
94 in need of fixing. go figure.
95 - on_keyboard_command is on_user_command (patch by Michael Witten).
96 - setting the selection from perl will now reset the selection screen
97 to the current screen. the screen can be manipulated using
98 the new ->selection_screen method.
99 - implement --enable-assert configure option and get rid of DEBUG_STRICT
100 (based on patch by Emanuele Giaquinta).
101 - fix printpipe data output (patch by Emanuele Giaquinta).
102 - allow `xxx' quoting style for perl selection.
103 - upgrade to libev-3.9 prerelease.
104 - updated compose tables to unicode 5.2.0.
105
1069.06 Sat Nov 8 17:47:18 CET 2008
107 - NOTICE: this release updates terminfo/termcap.
108 - updates libev to 3.48.
109 - the aterm code now frees the as visual and image manager objects
110 when a window was closed.
111 - do not (wrongly) adjust the virtual line length inside
112 scr_insdel_chars/ERASE (Miroslav Lichvar).
113 - fix an issue where wide tab characters caused character shifts
114 when part of them was deleted (tracked down by Miroslav Lichvar).
115 - artificially enlargen the previous character at the end of a line
116 when trying to output a character that doesn't fit. looks ugly, but
117 makes copy&paste work.
118 - remove bogus "setuid/setgid security issues" from rxvt.1.pod, they
119 no longer apply.
120 - the urgency hint is now cleared on both focus in and focus out.
121 - cache urgency hint locally to avoid server rtt on every focus change.
122 - perl 5.10 needs PERL_SYS_INIT3 on hppa.
123 - ignore byte-order marks and do not treat them like combining characters.
124 - fix build issue when CURSOR_BLINK is not defined (Emanuele Giaquinta).
125 - do some ยต-optimisations to the character fast path.
126 - use a less cunning, but more robust algorithm to avoid one terminal
127 monopolising the whole process by outputting a lot of text.
128 - try to work around linux first breaking sched_yield and now breaking
129 the only known workaround.
130 - new option -icon to set _NET_WM_ICON (based on patch by Frank Schmitt).
131 - initialise the as visual only on demand, instead of unconditionally,
132 to save memory in the common case of not using visual gimmicks.
133 - try to work around bugs in a few wm's that erroneously resize
134 client windows on hint property updates by temporarily
135 disabling size hints.
136 - implement the DECSTR soft reset sequence and use it for tput init,
137 and make hard RIS and DECSTR both reset more private modes, such
138 as mouse reporting.
139 - redundantly clear mouse reporting and a few other states in
140 tput init/tput reset, for older urxvts.
141 - partial/full clear screens did cause flickering and possibly pixel
142 droppings when urxvt viewed the scrollback buffer.
143 - use current rendition style in DCH sequence.
144 - the 132/80 mode switch no longer forces a screen reset.
145 - add an osc sequence to change the border colour (Emanuele Giaquinta).
146 - new perl extension "overlay-osc", for status displays and the like.
147 - fix some minor cursor drawing issues with overlays by allowing
148 overlays to modify screen flags (to disable the cursor themselves).
149 - work around programs not restoring rstyle before rmcup
150 (analysed by Miroslav Lichvar).
