3TODO: harmonize --disable-options into position-dependent options. 3TODO: init_secondary serves what purpose? maybe move it to earlier startup phase and re-think
4TODO: after requesting the selection and getting a timeout, no further requests will be sent. 4TODO: xcopyarea pass broken, fix and improve
5TODO: event mechanism that replaces on_keyboard_command with something more scalable.
6TODO: slipwheeling needs a keyboard grab to get key release events.
7TODO: overlays collide with the way the out-of-focus cursor is being drawn

6TODO: read property sequence is broken with respect to utf-8 etc. 9TODO: read property sequence is broken with respect to utf-8 etc.
7TODO: http://www120.pair.com/mccarthy/nextstep/intro.htmld/Workspace.html is the correct nextstep look. 10TODO: slow drag selection on remote display - other things seem fast (rxvt illness, motion hints?)
8WISH: OnTheSpot editing, or maybe switch to miiiiiiif 11TODO: better resource handling for tabbar in -pe tabbed.
9WISH: just for fun, do shade and tint with XRender. 12WISH: investigate -pe tabbed -g 80x25 being 23 not 24 or 25 lines
10WISH: make builtin character glyphs optional 13 => when setting the constraints, the wm might (correctly)
11WISH: better support for mixing xft font sizes rxvt -fn "xft:Andale Mono:size=15" -fb "xft:Andale Mono:size=8:bold" 14 resize the outer window, which might result in a smaller window overall.
15 or something like that. guys, send me a patch.
16WISH: coloured pastebin
17WISH: selection-color-pair instead of reverse video
18WISH: load system-wide config file even if we don't have one
19WISH: look into XAddConnectionWatch, does anybody need that?
20DUMB: support tex fonts

22TODO: /*TODO: the xlceararea/xfillrectangle below don't take scroll offste into account, ask mikachu for details */
23
24 - ignore byte-order marks and do not treat them like combining characters.
25 - fix build issue when CURSOR_BLINK is not defined (Emanuele Giaquinta).
26 - do some µ-optimisations to the character fast path.
27
289.05 Sun Jun 15 20:09:20 CEST 2008
29 - new option --cd/chdir to set the starting working directory.
30 - tabbed extension now starts in the "correct" working directory.
31 - work around fedora 9 providing isastream but not the relevant
32 header file for it (report by Tuncer Ayaz).
33 - upgrade libev, fixing a bug in the select backend
34 with more than 31 file descriptors on non-linux 64 bit systems.
35 - correctly reset the multibyte state to the initial one
36 after EILSEQ (patch by Neil Booth). This fixes the
37 issue of rxvt-unicode not properly displaying text after an illegal
38 sequence on NetBSD and probably other systems.
39 - more intelligent property handling with -pe tabbed, works around
40 broken window managers (kwm et al.), saves bandwidth and should
41 help working window managers as well.
42 - made tabs moveable (based on a patch by Petr Machata).
43 - implement ESC [ 3 K as a more rational alternative to ESC [ 0 K.
44 - support relative paths for RXVT_SOCKET in urxvtd.
45 - the tabbed extension now blindly copies over all (rxvt-) resources
46 from the toplevel window to the children.
47 - better diagnostic on 0x0 window geometries.
48 - update AnyEvent API to version 3.4 and above.
49 - document the default value of :0 for DISPLAY.
50 - rename perl method XChangeWindowProperty to XChangeProperty.
51
529.02 Tue Jan 29 11:58:36 CET 2008
53 - the "exg makes everybody happy" release.
54 - fix build with !xft.
55 - always compile in plain style scrollbar (simplifies code and looks great).
56
579.01 Sat Jan 26 20:49:27 CET 2008
58 - be more aggressive about handling X events, this seems to be required
59 with newer xlibs (should fix the "screen stays black until event is
60 received" problem, again :)
61 - add buffered resource to control xft double-buffering.
62
639.0 Fri Jan 25 19:34:04 CET 2008
64 - fix a crash bug where urxvtd would crash when urxvtc was called
65 with wrong arguments (I wish debian maintainers in general would
66 report bugs and their proposed fixes to the original package maintaienrs
67 instead of sitting on them for good measure to see if anybody notices).
68 - drawing xft compose characters was causing garbage to be drawn.
69 - correctly clear xft character background in all cases.
70 - implement bracketed paste mode (xterm private mode 2004).
71 - improve documentation on alpha channel handling, make urxvt
72 work better on servers lacking the RENDER extension when alpha
73 channels or background images are used.
74 - check for refresh after initialising to avoid staying blank
75 till the first event arrives. or so.
76 - the FORCE_UNBUFFERED_XFT feature macro works again.
77 - continuously update transparency while moving/resizing now.
78 - OSC 39/49 are deprecated and aliased to OSC 10/11.
79 - cub1 now acts as advertised (and ignores the "wrapped" state).
80 - the 132/80 mode switch now forces a height of 24, too, and
81 resets the terminal.
82 - scrollbar code cleanups.
83 - stopping children is no longer confused with children exiting.
84 - removed (undocumented) #aarrggbb format.
85 - updated to libev 3.0.
86
878.9 Mon Dec 24 07:51:40 CET 2007
88 - fix the issue where urxvtd would not immediately close a window
89 when the command exited but only on the next X event.
90 - changed terminfo file not to use application keypad mode.
91 - fix the issue where making a selection in one urxvtd window
92 would not clear it visually in another.
93 - fix an issue of urxvt not getting background pixmap updates
94 and flickering after bg pixmap changes (reported by Mikachu).
95 - fix redraw bug in xterm scrollbar with -sr (reported by Mikachu).
96 - correctly provide dependencies for libev (µikachu).
97 - minor code reorganisations and cleanups.
98 - be more robust in case the urxvt-popup extension cannot be loaded.
99
1008.8 Sat Dec 15 19:40:39 CET 2007
101 - option -C was aliased to all unsupported options, activating
102 options that shouldn't be compiled in, leading to interesting
103 effects.
104 - updated libev, working around a bug in linux 2.4, curing the
105 symptom of urxvt not closing its window on shell exit. also
106 fixes a problem with urxvt not refreshing.
107 - the text blink callback was called even when no blinking
108 text was visible.
109 - pre-8.4 slipwheeling behaviour has been reinstated, with
110 some minor improvements.
111 - streamlined x events processing to only flush once per
112 display and not once per terminal window.
113 - quite a bit of minor code cleanups and codesize optimisations.
114
1158.7 Sun Nov 25 10:23:49 CET 2007
116 - update libev with an important bugfix that would cause crashes
117 when closing windows (when using rxvtd, and update is recommended).
118 - do not compile in the block builtin graphics with --disable-frills.
119
1208.6 Fri Nov 23 14:10:57 CET 2007
121 - upgrade libev to disable kqueue on anything but netbsd as it
122 seems to be broken everywhere else w.r.t. ptys.
123 - allow for spurious event notifications, as at least epoll and
124 especially solaris ports like to lie about them (symptoms:
125 urxvt "hangs" until there is some x11 related activity).
126 - -keysym command line options are now subjected to xlib parsing.
127 - add 'xrm' option analogous to Xt one.
128
1298.5a Wed Nov 21 10:16:33 CET 2007
130 - make it compile with --disable-transparency.
131
1328.5 Wed Nov 21 05:19:20 CET 2007
133 - expect major portability issues in this release: please test and report.
134 - converted from the veritable io manager event loop to
135 the high performance libev (http://software.schmorp.de/pkg/libev).
136 - minor tuning to the perl selection (include single words and more quoting chars).
137 - fix memory leak in pixmap code.
138 - fix a serious bug while setting the XIM destroy callback
139 on (typical) 64 bit systems.
140 - automove-background functionality re-implemented internaly using :root op in pixmap
141 geometry string. For example: rxvt -pixmap "image.jpg;:root"
142 - do not link rxvtc against every lib on the planet anymore.
143 - parallel builds should work once more.
144
1458.4 Sat Oct 27 14:02:13 CEST 2007
146 - overhaul of the transparency/pixmap code (sasha).
147 - fix possible race betwen visual bell and poweron.
148 (reported by Martin von Gagern, gentoo?).
149 - urxvt -e no longer crashes the child.
150 - fixed some minor memleaks on incorrect usage or
151 missing DISPLAY.
152 - implement xterm 1002/1003 mouse tracking modes (exg).
153 - source code organisational cleanups (exg).
154 - updated io_manager.
155
1568.3 Wed Aug 1 20:21:31 CEST 2007
157 - new option: skipScroll/-ss, enabled by default.
158 - go with the times and expect x11 library files in /usr/lib, not
159 /usr/X11R6/lib.
160 - initial transparency improvement/afterimage support
161 patch by Sasha Vasko.
162 - add urgentOnBell resource to set the urgency hint
163 (patch by Philip Paeps).
164 - do not process focus events caused by grabs
165 (patch by Mikachu).
166 - add iso14755_52 resource to disable iso14755 5.2 (exg).
167 - add binding for backspace in iso14755 5.1 to remove the last
168 digit (exg).
169 - better option handling, support more than 30 options (exg).
170 - nuke reconf script, serves no purpose anymore.
171 - fixed and documented matcher/on_user_command processing in matcher
172 extension (tpope).
173 - compile out of the box on Solaris 10 (exg).
174 - fix MappingNotify events (reported by Stephan Walter).
175 - zero-initialise mwmhints, this seems to solve all sorts of minor
176 problems.
177
1788.2 Sat Feb 17 21:35:28 CET 2007
179 - fix make depend in src/, reported by exg.
180 - fixed typo in urxvt::GET_CUSTOM, causing the result to be wrong.
181 (patch by Sergey Vlasov).
182 - unbundled iom perl interface somewhat.
183 - scrollbar-xterm now uses the selected scrollColor instead of fg
184 (found by Aiviru).
185 - disabled linux kernel bug workaround again: disabling it gives
186 a 50% speed hit on affected machines, while enabling it gives
187 a similar speed hit to screen, which is likely the more common
188 case to work around for :/
189 - urxvt::rend2mask perl function, and utilization of it by matcher
190 (patch by Moshe Kamensky).
191 - use perl:matcher on a keysym to open most recently displayed URL.
192 - with matcher, when multiple patterns match, last wins, not first.
193 - fix make and make install with srcdir != builddir (exg).
194 - updated bundled libptytty to fix a bug where the tty would be kept
195 open (see the libptytty ChangeLog for details).
196 - delay setting the IUTF8 flag to after the tty settings have been
197 set so its value does not get lost (reported and analysed by Andrei
198 Paskevich).
199 - rip out support for obsolete sgtty.h interface.
200 - rip out support for non-POSIX termios variants.
201 - update libptytty.
202 - update iom.C, make it call ptytty::sanitise_stdfd on init.
203 - when !XFT, change rounding of colours to use a less correct formula to
204 meet user expectancies (#aaa becomes #a000a000a000 not #9f9f9f9f9f9f).
205 - change the starting offset of the pixmap set with backgroundPixmap
206 from (50,50) to (0,0) (exg).
207 - fix a typo in button_release, now meta-button2 request the value of
208 the Clipboard selection as it should (patch by Serge Koksharov).
209 - fix a bug in drawing a cell with a nonspacing char when using an xft
210 font with inheritPixmap and tintColor (exg).
211
2128.1 Thu Dec 7 22:27:25 CET 2006
213 - ケリスマスプレゼント - zomg!!1, it's too early!!!
214 - fix the assumption that chars < 256 are single-width. Now
215 only assume this for codepoints 32 to 126 (reported by Dai.H.).
216 - $term->strwidth returned wide chars as width 1, because some jerk
217 confused min and max. Fixing this also fixes xim-onthespot.
218 Reported by Takano Akio.
219 - secondaryScroll is now enabled by default (as per the manpage),
220 reported by exg.
221 - correct the description of [percent]color rgba format in the manpage.
222 - incorporated macosx-clipboard extension by Samuel Ljungkvist.
223 - ignore (some) useless focus events (reported by mmc).
224 - updated compose table to unicode 5.0.0.
225
2268.0 Thu Nov 2 18:35:19 CET 2006
227 - combining characters cleared the area instead of creating an overlay,
228 thus losing the ability to draw combining characters properly in most
229 circumstances (reported by exg).
230 - specified fonts were incorrectly morphed to bold/italic according to the
231 basefont, even if explicitly specified (tracked down by tpope).
232 - fixed urxvt::strwidth to calculate width in the same way as screen.C.
233 - fix a crash caused by passing negative widths to overlay functions.
234 - added 'matcher' extension by tpope, replacing the mark-urls extension.
235 - improve url regex to match anything www.* (tpope).
236 - fixed bug with outline cursor color being wrong after xft fonts.
237 - update to libptytty-1.0.
238 - give proper diagnostic when RXVT_SOCKET is too long instead of
239 corrupting the stack (patch by exg).
240 - display current terminal locale in option menu.
241 - urxvtd no longer crashes when the client sends an inaccessible
242 working directory (reported by Roland Baer, possibly fixes gentoo
243 bug #143985).
244 - fixed many minor issues reported by Roland Baer.
245 - Leonid Khramov spotted a minor glitch in rxvtfont.C that
246 should not have any consequences, but was buggy nonetheless.
247 - manpage fix by exg.
248
2497.9 Mon Aug 7 18:16:07 CEST 2006
250 - fix the crashing bug people encountered with 7.8 + urxvtd + perl
251 + transparency. Ought to fix debian bug #380348.
252 - fix urxvtc.1.pod: it actually claimed -pty-fd would not work. But
253 it does! :->
254 - rxvt_fatal() in case the locale string is too long for our static buffer.
255 - fixed many, many, typos in the manpages (patch supplied by ves).
256
2577.8 Mon Jul 17 21:00:46 CEST 2006
258 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: this version will always read ~/.Xdefaults,
259 earlier versions only read it if display-resources (usually from
260 .Xresources) are not set. This avoids the #1 FAQ ("why isn't my
261 resource used") and seems to be logical behaviour, too. .Xdefaults
262 resources have a lower priority than display-specific resources.
263 - add "kuake" perl extension that does a similar thing to the kuake
264 terminal emulator (see man urxtvperl).
265 - use less "correct" color scaling that is compatible with libX11 and
266 Xft (avoids off-by-one colors resulting in striped backgrounds).
267 - the "depth" resource is now respected.
268 - preset the searchable-scrollback pattern with "(?i)" to default search
269 to case-insensitivity. Will automatically be cleared when typing an
270 uppercase character.
271 - add FORCE_UNBUFFERED_XFT define to features.h.
272 - re-enabled highlightcolor support with --enable-frills, based on
273 a patch by Martin Stubenschrott.
274 - double-buffered xft drawing did suffer from pixel offset issues
275 when pixmap transparency was enabled.
276 - strategically add # to the url-match regexes, as we really want to
277 match common URIs not common URLs. Reported by Aaron Griffin.
278 - moved on_osc_seq to on_osc_seq_perl and added a more
279 generic osc_seq.
280 - fix a bug causing double callback invocations when perl hooks
281 were invoked recursively.
282 - the automove-background extension now properly works when the
283 pixmap gets reset with an osc sequence (sqweek).
284 - selection-pastebin did not work properly with non-latin1-characters.
285 - apply colorUL only when the text colour is the default fg
286 (patch by Wu Fengguang).
287 - removed rxvtlib.h from the tarball, it had no reason to be there
288 (spotted by Decklin Foster).
289 - fix compiling with TRANSPARENT but !XPM_BACKGROUND, as reported
290 by omatunto_.
291 - slap in a using namespace std, might help on platforms that don't
292 follow C++ closely enough.
293 - fix mailto url regex, spotted within milliseconds by Jost Krieger.
294 - applied fade_color_update_func.patch by WU Fengguang.
295 - fix a bug where (due to an optimisation in av_delete), hiding the
296 bottom-most overlay would hide two overlays.
297
2987.7 Tue Feb 21 12:32:49 CET 2006
299 - use double-buffered drawing (xft fonts only). On many driver/hardware
300 combination this actually increases xft drawing speed, at the expense
301 of more network bandwidth and slight nausea on the side of the author.
302 - readline perl extension now requires shift-click instead of a normal
303 click, and eats the click.
304 - tabbed perl extension now supports -e.
305 - disabled graphics-exposures on the main drawing GC, report any
306 refresh bugs please.
307 - improve property handling for -pe tabbed: avoid unnecessary property
308 changes (for kde's benefit) at the expense of extra round-trips,
309 improve size hint setting.
310 - modified XIM according to a patch sent by Takano Akio that sets
311 the preedit rectangle for OverTheSpot, which helps some input methods
312 to correctly position their preedit window.
313 - un-optimise the line clearing on newly scrolled-in lines a bit: the
314 former reasoning was that any fg colour on default bg looks the same
315 in empty spaces, but thats not true when reversing (e.g. selection),
316 so also check for matching fg colours. This fixes the problem where
317 selecting newly scrolled-in lines would exhibit wrong colours.
318 - fix a bug in the perl interface causing focus in events to generate
319 focus out perl events, causing bad focus effects with -pe tabbed.
320 - fix a race resulting in a crash on exiting.
321 - fix a with --disable-xft that caused xfreecolors to be called on
322 colors never allocated, resulting in aborts (reported by Paco-Paco).
323 - resources on non-initial screens weren't refetched correctly
324 (reported by Paco-Paco).
325 - fix a bug in xcopyarea pass and _disable_ it, as it seems not to be
326 working in either rxvt-unicode nor in the original rxvt.
327 - removed undocumented -exec alias for the -e option.
328
3297.6 Fri Feb 10 08:52:36 CET 2006
330 - changed interpretation of [alpha] colour prefix.
331 - +option now really sets the option to default, instead of using the
332 resource value.
333 - options that require an argument now really _require_ an argument.
334 - the tabbed extension now forwards focus and keys events to th
335 relevant tab window.
336 - tab colours are now configurable and have sensible defaults
337 (initial patch by hednod).
338 - option menu is extendable, readline, selection and
339 selection-autotransform can now be disabled/enabled at runtime.
340 - forcing a configure event to tabbed subwindows with -pe tabbed, for
341 the benefit of automove-background.
342 - the automove-background extension added a wrong constant offset.
343 - force refresh of XA_RESOURCE_STRING on virtual reconnect.
344 - return exit status 2 in urxvtc when urxvtd couldn't be contacted.
345 - the linux yield hack is back, now using usleep, and enabled only on
346 __linux__.
347 - further round trip eliminations in the !XFT case by remembering
348 the colour components.
349 - plain scrollbar works better with -sr.
350 - fixed half-shadow scrollbar look.
351 - more colour rtt optimisations.
352 - properly(?) free colours on window close.
353 - reorganised the FAQ into multiple sections.
354 - add ISO646.1991-IRV to the list of supported codesets.
355 - minor libptytty update.
356
3577.5 Tue Jan 31 15:15:43 CET 2006
358 - further improvements to the careful mode detection, and font width
359 detection:
360 - fully double-wide fonts will now be correctly treated,
361 - overlap detection was improved.
362 - detect totally broken fonts (usually synthesized by xft).
363 - careful mode forced refresh sometimes clashed with blinking,
364 causing unnecessary screen redraws.
365 - better handling of XFT combining characters.
366 - enable antialiasing for some replacement fonts, as they
367 might get used for other encodings which really need it, later.
368 - remove spacing=100 from all default fonts, as this creates totally
369 weird spacing (5 times normal) with xft.
370 - removed iso10646 fallback, as xorgs iso10646 encoded fonts are mostly
371 broken.
372 - removed gnu unifont fallback, all combining characters are broken.
373 - replace named colours by xorg's rgb.txt equivalents, to
374 reduce round trip time on startup, and short-cut allocation
375 of rgb:rr/gg/bb for xft.
376 - short-cut allocation of rgb values in the xlib case
377 (patch by Paco-Paco).
378 - overhauled color management: smaller codesize, alpha support.
379 - support "rgba:rrrr/gggg/bbbb/aaaa" color specifications and
380 an "[alpha]" prefix.
381 - try to work around Xft and Xrender forcing everything to be 100%
382 transparent. Long Live Xft!
383 - do not include X11/Intrinsic.h anymore, directly use
384 Xlib/Xutil/Xresource directly.
385 - try to find a nearest matching color when color allocation fails
386 on a pseudocolor screen.
387 - SYNCCVS: compared to rxvt-cvs 2006-01-28, no relevant changes.
388 - fix version report (DA) (which was unfortunately broken).
389 - changed version number report again, now to emulate xterm closer.
390 - added the OSC sequence 702 to detect the urxvt version number.
391 - small configure updates.
392 - further RTT optimisations.
393 - backported clean-up patches for makefiles and documentation from
394 the debian package.
395 - updated doc/rxvt-unicode.spec file. It's still not maintained here,
396 but much newer than the old one.
397
3987.4 Sat Jan 28 15:26:27 CET 2006
399 - screen background wasn't always erased properly when scrolling,
400 - re-enabled clearing optimisation disabled in 7.4pre.
401 - small configure updates for libptytty.
402 - fixed version options: line output.
403 - removed stoopid debugging message left in the code.
404
4057.3 Wed Jan 25 22:47:35 CET 2006
406 - don't let iso14755 or mouse reporting get into the way of perl
407 (could lead to global grabs never being cleared).
408 - experimental OnTheSpot editing support (-pe xim-onthespot).
409 - moved Shift-Button2 paste combination to Meta-Button2.
410 - the cutchars resource will now be respected and used by the
411 selection extension.
412 - added the "remote-clipboard" extension which just runs external
413 commands to fetch and store the selection data.
414 - added -depth switch that tries to get a different visual depth
415 than the default (replaces the old PREFER_24_BIT logic).
416 - removed (unused) arabic presentation form composing sequences.
417 - be more strict when deciding that a core font glyph is too wide and
418 needs the careful rendering mode.
419 - allow more leeway for italic fonts when deciding that a character is
420 too wide and needs careful mode.
421 - redraw even more characters around characters using careful mode.
422 - made selection-pastebin fully asynchronous.
423 - reduced number of server turnarounds at startup by allocating
424 atoms only once per display.
425 - renamed on_keyboard_command to on_user_command.
426 - changed version sos (ESC [ > c) response to be more compatible with
427 xterm.
428
4297.2 Sun Jan 22 21:58:16 CET 2006
430 - bugfix: urxvt (not urxvtd) did not correctly handle multiple
431 environments necessary, which resulted in segfaults within
432 getenv (reproducable: urxvt -fn 9x15, open a menu once,
433 ctrl-shift-672c).
434 - bugfix: the selection speedup in in 7.1 unfortunately caused
435 non-ascii characters to enlarge/move the selection.
436 - bugfix: resizing sometimes leaked lines from the secondary to
437 the primary screen.
438 - bugfix: reducing window size while large amounts of text were output
439 could lead to an assertion failure.
440 - added "tabbed" extension that provides a crude tabbed terminal.
441 - added "readline" extension that allows cursor positioning
442 via mouse clicks.
443 - now it is possible to insert the value of the CLIPBOARD selection
444 with shift - mouse button 2.
445 - fixed the automove-background extension to ignore coordinates
446 in non-synthetic events.
447 - created a separate libpty for portable and secure
448 pty/tty/utmp/wtmp/lastlog handling, and include it in rxvt-unicode.
449 - the non-terminfo visual bell now works asynchronously, so
450 continuous ASCI BELs in one terminal do no longer monopolise the
451 whole urxvt[d] process.
452 - support some *BSD makes (for the time being, gnu make is a safe bet).
453 - work around bugs in FreeBSD's gcc.
454 - implemented some *BSD fixes in configure.
455 - removed support for obsolete offix dnd protocol.
456
4577.1 Thu Jan 19 20:25:34 CET 2006
458 - setuid/setgid operation is now _encouraged_: security has been
459 improved by moving privileged operations into a separate process
460 and permanently dropping privileges within the terminal. This
461 makes it possible to remove security checks from the perl code
462 and gives a much safer feeling when urxvt needs to run with
463 special privileges.
464 - perl taint checking disabled, as urxvt no longer runs setuid/setgid
465 itself.
466 - new perl extension automove-background that can be used to get
467 the same effect as pseudo-transparency with any pixmap.
468 - new perl extension example: perl/selection-pastebin, can be used to
469 e.g. upload the selection to a webserver and generate a url, or
470 similar stuff.
471 - use the scrollback buffer even when the scroll region doesn't
472 span the whole screen, as long as it starts at row 0. Helps
473 for programs displaying a status line at the bottom.
474 - selection popup now shows selection in dec/hex/oct.
475 - perl/selection: matching on unicode characters in the selection
476 code was O(n²), which equals infinity in some degenerate cases
477 :-> Matching is now done on UTF-8, which makes it almost instant.
478 - perl/selection, perl/selection-autotransform: regexes are now
479 being interpreted in the locale urxvt was started.
480 - implemented override-redirect option and enabled it on menus,
481 as kwin puts our windows behind the terminal (what a shoddy wm).
482 - fixed struct utmp check in configure for OpenBSD.
483 - complete overhaul of the pty/utmp management stuff and configure
484 (Emanuele Giaquinta).
485 - add tsl/fsl and related capabilities to the terminfo description,
486 to set the window title.
487 - swap the environment in some more cases. This hopefully fixes
488 some segfaults that might be caused by xft asking for env variables
489 at the wrong time.
490 - removed src/strings.C and src/menubar.C. No menubar support
491 anymore.
492 - removed all traces of SMOOTH_REFRESH.
493 - nuked QNX support.
494 - made some fixes to xpm offset and scaling code.
495 - perl-overlays and refresh hooks were not applied in correct order.
496 - changed coordinate-system of view_start/nsaved to be top to bottom.
497 - iom extended to support listening for child exits.
498
4997.0 Fri Jan 13 14:02:18 CET 2006
500 - added sections for DISTRIBUTION MAINTAINERS and about
501 SETUID/SETGID to the FAQ.
502 - selection, searchable-scrollback, selection-popup and
503 option-popup extensions enabled by default.
504 - increased xft drawing speed for problematic fonts. The effect
505 will likely be small as 99% of the xft slowness is server-related.
506 - perl: much increased functionality, better overlays, popup support
507 and much much more.
508 - perl: urxvt::line now can set via ->t and ->r.
509 - perl: changed interpretation of --perl-ext-common and -pe.
510 - perl: finally implemented --perl-eval.
511 - perl: non-blocking anyevent support.
512 - perl: run tainted and ignore perl-eval/perl-lib if started
513 setuid/setgid.
514 - free the resource database: this plugs a massive memory leak. As a
515 side effect, it also gets rid of XGetDefault calls.
516 - free one of the cursors, fixes a small memory leak.
517 - built-in (as opposed to terminfos) visual bell was broken/too fast.
518 - applied minor cleanups by Ladislav Michnovic.
519 - applied pty handling cleanups and improvements (Emanuele Giaquinta).
520 - mark-urls launch-on-click by jepler.
521 - removed "small" resource parsing function, as it wasn't really
522 compatible, and not really small either.
523 - removed PATH_ENV and PATH file search support.
524 - removed support for locale-specific app-defaults file.
525 - fixed a bug where out-of-bounds colour sequences could lead
526 to crashes.
527 - limit colour changing to the standard 88 palette instead of all
528 colours.
529 - XTerm_Color01 sequence returned wrong results in query mode.
530 - iom.C now checks against destructed io_manager when unregistering.
