2TODO: manpage 900mb update 2
3TODO: safer command: keymap processing. 3TODO: init_secondary serves what purpose? maybe move it to earlier startup phase and re-think
4TODO: xcopyarea pass broken, fix and improve
5TODO: event mechanism that replaces on_keyboard_command with something more scalable.

22TODO: /*TODO: the xlceararea/xfillrectangle below don't take scroll offste into account, ask mikachu for details */
23
24 - perl 5.10 needs PELR_SYS_INIT3 on hppa.
25 - ignore byte-order marks and do not treat them like combining characters.
26 - fix build issue when CURSOR_BLINK is not defined (Emanuele Giaquinta).
27 - do some µ-optimisations to the character fast path.
28
299.05 Sun Jun 15 20:09:20 CEST 2008
30 - new option --cd/chdir to set the starting working directory.
31 - tabbed extension now starts in the "correct" working directory.
32 - work around fedora 9 providing isastream but not the relevant
33 header file for it (report by Tuncer Ayaz).
34 - upgrade libev, fixing a bug in the select backend
35 with more than 31 file descriptors on non-linux 64 bit systems.
36 - correctly reset the multibyte state to the initial one
37 after EILSEQ (patch by Neil Booth). This fixes the
38 issue of rxvt-unicode not properly displaying text after an illegal
39 sequence on NetBSD and probably other systems.
40 - more intelligent property handling with -pe tabbed, works around
41 broken window managers (kwm et al.), saves bandwidth and should
42 help working window managers as well.
43 - made tabs moveable (based on a patch by Petr Machata).
44 - implement ESC [ 3 K as a more rational alternative to ESC [ 0 K.
45 - support relative paths for RXVT_SOCKET in urxvtd.
46 - the tabbed extension now blindly copies over all (rxvt-) resources
47 from the toplevel window to the children.
48 - better diagnostic on 0x0 window geometries.
49 - update AnyEvent API to version 3.4 and above.
50 - document the default value of :0 for DISPLAY.
51 - rename perl method XChangeWindowProperty to XChangeProperty.
52
539.02 Tue Jan 29 11:58:36 CET 2008
54 - the "exg makes everybody happy" release.
55 - fix build with !xft.
56 - always compile in plain style scrollbar (simplifies code and looks great).
57
589.01 Sat Jan 26 20:49:27 CET 2008
59 - be more aggressive about handling X events, this seems to be required
60 with newer xlibs (should fix the "screen stays black until event is
61 received" problem, again :)
62 - add buffered resource to control xft double-buffering.
63
649.0 Fri Jan 25 19:34:04 CET 2008
65 - fix a crash bug where urxvtd would crash when urxvtc was called
66 with wrong arguments (I wish debian maintainers in general would
67 report bugs and their proposed fixes to the original package maintaienrs
68 instead of sitting on them for good measure to see if anybody notices).
69 - drawing xft compose characters was causing garbage to be drawn.
70 - correctly clear xft character background in all cases.
71 - implement bracketed paste mode (xterm private mode 2004).
72 - improve documentation on alpha channel handling, make urxvt
73 work better on servers lacking the RENDER extension when alpha
74 channels or background images are used.
75 - check for refresh after initialising to avoid staying blank
76 till the first event arrives. or so.
77 - the FORCE_UNBUFFERED_XFT feature macro works again.
78 - continuously update transparency while moving/resizing now.
79 - OSC 39/49 are deprecated and aliased to OSC 10/11.
80 - cub1 now acts as advertised (and ignores the "wrapped" state).
81 - the 132/80 mode switch now forces a height of 24, too, and
82 resets the terminal.
83 - scrollbar code cleanups.
84 - stopping children is no longer confused with children exiting.
85 - removed (undocumented) #aarrggbb format.
86 - updated to libev 3.0.
87
888.9 Mon Dec 24 07:51:40 CET 2007
89 - fix the issue where urxvtd would not immediately close a window
90 when the command exited but only on the next X event.
91 - changed terminfo file not to use application keypad mode.
92 - fix the issue where making a selection in one urxvtd window
93 would not clear it visually in another.
94 - fix an issue of urxvt not getting background pixmap updates
95 and flickering after bg pixmap changes (reported by Mikachu).
96 - fix redraw bug in xterm scrollbar with -sr (reported by Mikachu).
97 - correctly provide dependencies for libev (µikachu).
98 - minor code reorganisations and cleanups.
99 - be more robust in case the urxvt-popup extension cannot be loaded.
100
1018.8 Sat Dec 15 19:40:39 CET 2007
102 - option -C was aliased to all unsupported options, activating
103 options that shouldn't be compiled in, leading to interesting
104 effects.
105 - updated libev, working around a bug in linux 2.4, curing the
106 symptom of urxvt not closing its window on shell exit. also
107 fixes a problem with urxvt not refreshing.
108 - the text blink callback was called even when no blinking
109 text was visible.
110 - pre-8.4 slipwheeling behaviour has been reinstated, with
111 some minor improvements.
112 - streamlined x events processing to only flush once per
113 display and not once per terminal window.
114 - quite a bit of minor code cleanups and codesize optimisations.
115
1168.7 Sun Nov 25 10:23:49 CET 2007
117 - update libev with an important bugfix that would cause crashes
118 when closing windows (when using rxvtd, and update is recommended).
119 - do not compile in the block builtin graphics with --disable-frills.
120
1218.6 Fri Nov 23 14:10:57 CET 2007
122 - upgrade libev to disable kqueue on anything but netbsd as it
123 seems to be broken everywhere else w.r.t. ptys.
124 - allow for spurious event notifications, as at least epoll and
125 especially solaris ports like to lie about them (symptoms:
126 urxvt "hangs" until there is some x11 related activity).
127 - -keysym command line options are now subjected to xlib parsing.
128 - add 'xrm' option analogous to Xt one.
129
1308.5a Wed Nov 21 10:16:33 CET 2007
131 - make it compile with --disable-transparency.
132
1338.5 Wed Nov 21 05:19:20 CET 2007
134 - expect major portability issues in this release: please test and report.
135 - converted from the veritable io manager event loop to
136 the high performance libev (http://software.schmorp.de/pkg/libev).
137 - minor tuning to the perl selection (include single words and more quoting chars).
138 - fix memory leak in pixmap code.
139 - fix a serious bug while setting the XIM destroy callback
140 on (typical) 64 bit systems.
141 - automove-background functionality re-implemented internaly using :root op in pixmap
142 geometry string. For example: rxvt -pixmap "image.jpg;:root"
143 - do not link rxvtc against every lib on the planet anymore.
144 - parallel builds should work once more.
145
1468.4 Sat Oct 27 14:02:13 CEST 2007
147 - overhaul of the transparency/pixmap code (sasha).
148 - fix possible race betwen visual bell and poweron.
149 (reported by Martin von Gagern, gentoo?).
150 - urxvt -e no longer crashes the child.
151 - fixed some minor memleaks on incorrect usage or
152 missing DISPLAY.
153 - implement xterm 1002/1003 mouse tracking modes (exg).
154 - source code organisational cleanups (exg).
155 - updated io_manager.
156
1578.3 Wed Aug 1 20:21:31 CEST 2007
158 - new option: skipScroll/-ss, enabled by default.
159 - go with the times and expect x11 library files in /usr/lib, not
160 /usr/X11R6/lib.
161 - initial transparency improvement/afterimage support
162 patch by Sasha Vasko.
163 - add urgentOnBell resource to set the urgency hint
164 (patch by Philip Paeps).
165 - do not process focus events caused by grabs
166 (patch by Mikachu).
167 - add iso14755_52 resource to disable iso14755 5.2 (exg).
168 - add binding for backspace in iso14755 5.1 to remove the last
169 digit (exg).
170 - better option handling, support more than 30 options (exg).
171 - nuke reconf script, serves no purpose anymore.
172 - fixed and documented matcher/on_user_command processing in matcher
173 extension (tpope).
174 - compile out of the box on Solaris 10 (exg).
175 - fix MappingNotify events (reported by Stephan Walter).
176 - zero-initialise mwmhints, this seems to solve all sorts of minor
177 problems.
178
1798.2 Sat Feb 17 21:35:28 CET 2007
180 - fix make depend in src/, reported by exg.
181 - fixed typo in urxvt::GET_CUSTOM, causing the result to be wrong.
182 (patch by Sergey Vlasov).
183 - unbundled iom perl interface somewhat.
184 - scrollbar-xterm now uses the selected scrollColor instead of fg
185 (found by Aiviru).
186 - disabled linux kernel bug workaround again: disabling it gives
187 a 50% speed hit on affected machines, while enabling it gives
188 a similar speed hit to screen, which is likely the more common
189 case to work around for :/
190 - urxvt::rend2mask perl function, and utilization of it by matcher
191 (patch by Moshe Kamensky).
192 - use perl:matcher on a keysym to open most recently displayed URL.
193 - with matcher, when multiple patterns match, last wins, not first.
194 - fix make and make install with srcdir != builddir (exg).
195 - updated bundled libptytty to fix a bug where the tty would be kept
196 open (see the libptytty ChangeLog for details).
197 - delay setting the IUTF8 flag to after the tty settings have been
198 set so its value does not get lost (reported and analysed by Andrei
199 Paskevich).
200 - rip out support for obsolete sgtty.h interface.
201 - rip out support for non-POSIX termios variants.
202 - update libptytty.
203 - update iom.C, make it call ptytty::sanitise_stdfd on init.
204 - when !XFT, change rounding of colours to use a less correct formula to
205 meet user expectancies (#aaa becomes #a000a000a000 not #9f9f9f9f9f9f).
206 - change the starting offset of the pixmap set with backgroundPixmap
207 from (50,50) to (0,0) (exg).
208 - fix a typo in button_release, now meta-button2 request the value of
209 the Clipboard selection as it should (patch by Serge Koksharov).
210 - fix a bug in drawing a cell with a nonspacing char when using an xft
211 font with inheritPixmap and tintColor (exg).
212
2138.1 Thu Dec 7 22:27:25 CET 2006
214 - ｹﾘｽﾏｽﾌ゚ﾚｾ゙ﾝﾄ - zomg!!1, it's too early!!!
215 - fix the assumption that chars < 256 are single-width. Now
216 only assume this for codepoints 32 to 126 (reported by Dai.H.).
217 - $term->strwidth returned wide chars as width 1, because some jerk
218 confused min and max. Fixing this also fixes xim-onthespot.
219 Reported by Takano Akio.
220 - secondaryScroll is now enabled by default (as per the manpage),
221 reported by exg.
222 - correct the description of [percent]color rgba format in the manpage.
223 - incorporated macosx-clipboard extension by Samuel Ljungkvist.
224 - ignore (some) useless focus events (reported by mmc).
225 - updated compose table to unicode 5.0.0.
226
2278.0 Thu Nov 2 18:35:19 CET 2006
228 - combining characters cleared the area instead of creating an overlay,
229 thus losing the ability to draw combining characters properly in most
230 circumstances (reported by exg).
231 - specified fonts were incorrectly morphed to bold/italic according to the
232 basefont, even if explicitly specified (tracked down by tpope).
233 - fixed urxvt::strwidth to calculate width in the same way as screen.C.
234 - fix a crash caused by passing negative widths to overlay functions.
235 - added 'matcher' extension by tpope, replacing the mark-urls extension.
236 - improve url regex to match anything www.* (tpope).
237 - fixed bug with outline cursor color being wrong after xft fonts.
238 - update to libptytty-1.0.
239 - give proper diagnostic when RXVT_SOCKET is too long instead of
240 corrupting the stack (patch by exg).
241 - display current terminal locale in option menu.
242 - urxvtd no longer crashes when the client sends an inaccessible
243 working directory (reported by Roland Baer, possibly fixes gentoo
244 bug #143985).
245 - fixed many minor issues reported by Roland Baer.
246 - Leonid Khramov spotted a minor glitch in rxvtfont.C that
247 should not have any consequences, but was buggy nonetheless.
248 - manpage fix by exg.
249
2507.9 Mon Aug 7 18:16:07 CEST 2006
251 - fix the crashing bug people encountered with 7.8 + urxvtd + perl
252 + transparency. Ought to fix debian bug #380348.
253 - fix urxvtc.1.pod: it actually claimed -pty-fd would not work. But
254 it does! :->
255 - rxvt_fatal() in case the locale string is too long for our static buffer.
256 - fixed many, many, typos in the manpages (patch supplied by ves).
257
2587.8 Mon Jul 17 21:00:46 CEST 2006
259 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: this version will always read ~/.Xdefaults,
260 earlier versions only read it if display-resources (usually from
261 .Xresources) are not set. This avoids the #1 FAQ ("why isn't my
262 resource used") and seems to be logical behaviour, too. .Xdefaults
263 resources have a lower priority than display-specific resources.
264 - add "kuake" perl extension that does a similar thing to the kuake
265 terminal emulator (see man urxtvperl).
266 - use less "correct" color scaling that is compatible with libX11 and
267 Xft (avoids off-by-one colors resulting in striped backgrounds).
268 - the "depth" resource is now respected.
269 - preset the searchable-scrollback pattern with "(?i)" to default search
270 to case-insensitivity. Will automatically be cleared when typing an
271 uppercase character.
272 - add FORCE_UNBUFFERED_XFT define to features.h.
273 - re-enabled highlightcolor support with --enable-frills, based on
274 a patch by Martin Stubenschrott.
275 - double-buffered xft drawing did suffer from pixel offset issues
276 when pixmap transparency was enabled.
277 - strategically add # to the url-match regexes, as we really want to
278 match common URIs not common URLs. Reported by Aaron Griffin.
279 - moved on_osc_seq to on_osc_seq_perl and added a more
280 generic osc_seq.
281 - fix a bug causing double callback invocations when perl hooks
282 were invoked recursively.
283 - the automove-background extension now properly works when the
284 pixmap gets reset with an osc sequence (sqweek).
285 - selection-pastebin did not work properly with non-latin1-characters.
286 - apply colorUL only when the text colour is the default fg
287 (patch by Wu Fengguang).
288 - removed rxvtlib.h from the tarball, it had no reason to be there
289 (spotted by Decklin Foster).
290 - fix compiling with TRANSPARENT but !XPM_BACKGROUND, as reported
291 by omatunto_.
292 - slap in a using namespace std, might help on platforms that don't
293 follow C++ closely enough.
294 - fix mailto url regex, spotted within milliseconds by Jost Krieger.
295 - applied fade_color_update_func.patch by WU Fengguang.
296 - fix a bug where (due to an optimisation in av_delete), hiding the
297 bottom-most overlay would hide two overlays.
298
2997.7 Tue Feb 21 12:32:49 CET 2006
300 - use double-buffered drawing (xft fonts only). On many driver/hardware
301 combination this actually increases xft drawing speed, at the expense
302 of more network bandwidth and slight nausea on the side of the author.
303 - readline perl extension now requires shift-click instead of a normal
304 click, and eats the click.
305 - tabbed perl extension now supports -e.
306 - disabled graphics-exposures on the main drawing GC, report any
307 refresh bugs please.
308 - improve property handling for -pe tabbed: avoid unnecessary property
309 changes (for kde's benefit) at the expense of extra round-trips,
310 improve size hint setting.
311 - modified XIM according to a patch sent by Takano Akio that sets
312 the preedit rectangle for OverTheSpot, which helps some input methods
313 to correctly position their preedit window.
314 - un-optimise the line clearing on newly scrolled-in lines a bit: the
315 former reasoning was that any fg colour on default bg looks the same
316 in empty spaces, but thats not true when reversing (e.g. selection),
317 so also check for matching fg colours. This fixes the problem where
318 selecting newly scrolled-in lines would exhibit wrong colours.
319 - fix a bug in the perl interface causing focus in events to generate
320 focus out perl events, causing bad focus effects with -pe tabbed.
321 - fix a race resulting in a crash on exiting.
322 - fix a with --disable-xft that caused xfreecolors to be called on
323 colors never allocated, resulting in aborts (reported by Paco-Paco).
324 - resources on non-initial screens weren't refetched correctly
325 (reported by Paco-Paco).
326 - fix a bug in xcopyarea pass and _disable_ it, as it seems not to be
327 working in either rxvt-unicode nor in the original rxvt.
328 - removed undocumented -exec alias for the -e option.
329
3307.6 Fri Feb 10 08:52:36 CET 2006
331 - changed interpretation of [alpha] colour prefix.
332 - +option now really sets the option to default, instead of using the
333 resource value.
334 - options that require an argument now really _require_ an argument.
335 - the tabbed extension now forwards focus and keys events to th
336 relevant tab window.
337 - tab colours are now configurable and have sensible defaults
338 (initial patch by hednod).
339 - option menu is extendable, readline, selection and
340 selection-autotransform can now be disabled/enabled at runtime.
341 - forcing a configure event to tabbed subwindows with -pe tabbed, for
342 the benefit of automove-background.
343 - the automove-background extension added a wrong constant offset.
344 - force refresh of XA_RESOURCE_STRING on virtual reconnect.
345 - return exit status 2 in urxvtc when urxvtd couldn't be contacted.
346 - the linux yield hack is back, now using usleep, and enabled only on
347 __linux__.
348 - further round trip eliminations in the !XFT case by remembering
349 the colour components.
350 - plain scrollbar works better with -sr.
351 - fixed half-shadow scrollbar look.
352 - more colour rtt optimisations.
353 - properly(?) free colours on window close.
354 - reorganised the FAQ into multiple sections.
355 - add ISO646.1991-IRV to the list of supported codesets.
356 - minor libptytty update.
357
3587.5 Tue Jan 31 15:15:43 CET 2006
359 - further improvements to the careful mode detection, and font width
360 detection:
361 - fully double-wide fonts will now be correctly treated,
362 - overlap detection was improved.
363 - detect totally broken fonts (usually synthesized by xft).
364 - careful mode forced refresh sometimes clashed with blinking,
365 causing unnecessary screen redraws.
366 - better handling of XFT combining characters.
367 - enable antialiasing for some replacement fonts, as they
368 might get used for other encodings which really need it, later.
369 - remove spacing=100 from all default fonts, as this creates totally
370 weird spacing (5 times normal) with xft.
371 - removed iso10646 fallback, as xorgs iso10646 encoded fonts are mostly
372 broken.
373 - removed gnu unifont fallback, all combining characters are broken.
374 - replace named colours by xorg's rgb.txt equivalents, to
375 reduce round trip time on startup, and short-cut allocation
376 of rgb:rr/gg/bb for xft.
377 - short-cut allocation of rgb values in the xlib case
378 (patch by Paco-Paco).
379 - overhauled color management: smaller codesize, alpha support.
380 - support "rgba:rrrr/gggg/bbbb/aaaa" color specifications and
381 an "[alpha]" prefix.
382 - try to work around Xft and Xrender forcing everything to be 100%
383 transparent. Long Live Xft!
384 - do not include X11/Intrinsic.h anymore, directly use
385 Xlib/Xutil/Xresource directly.
386 - try to find a nearest matching color when color allocation fails
387 on a pseudocolor screen.
388 - SYNCCVS: compared to rxvt-cvs 2006-01-28, no relevant changes.
389 - fix version report (DA) (which was unfortunately broken).
390 - changed version number report again, now to emulate xterm closer.
391 - added the OSC sequence 702 to detect the urxvt version number.
392 - small configure updates.
393 - further RTT optimisations.
394 - backported clean-up patches for makefiles and documentation from
395 the debian package.
396 - updated doc/rxvt-unicode.spec file. It's still not maintained here,
397 but much newer than the old one.
398
3997.4 Sat Jan 28 15:26:27 CET 2006
400 - screen background wasn't always erased properly when scrolling,
401 - re-enabled clearing optimisation disabled in 7.4pre.
402 - small configure updates for libptytty.
403 - fixed version options: line output.
404 - removed stoopid debugging message left in the code.
405
4067.3 Wed Jan 25 22:47:35 CET 2006
407 - don't let iso14755 or mouse reporting get into the way of perl
408 (could lead to global grabs never being cleared).
409 - experimental OnTheSpot editing support (-pe xim-onthespot).
410 - moved Shift-Button2 paste combination to Meta-Button2.
411 - the cutchars resource will now be respected and used by the
412 selection extension.
413 - added the "remote-clipboard" extension which just runs external
414 commands to fetch and store the selection data.
415 - added -depth switch that tries to get a different visual depth
416 than the default (replaces the old PREFER_24_BIT logic).
417 - removed (unused) arabic presentation form composing sequences.
418 - be more strict when deciding that a core font glyph is too wide and
419 needs the careful rendering mode.
420 - allow more leeway for italic fonts when deciding that a character is
421 too wide and needs careful mode.
422 - redraw even more characters around characters using careful mode.
423 - made selection-pastebin fully asynchronous.
424 - reduced number of server turnarounds at startup by allocating
425 atoms only once per display.
426 - renamed on_keyboard_command to on_user_command.
427 - changed version sos (ESC [ > c) response to be more compatible with
428 xterm.
429
4307.2 Sun Jan 22 21:58:16 CET 2006
431 - bugfix: urxvt (not urxvtd) did not correctly handle multiple
432 environments necessary, which resulted in segfaults within
433 getenv (reproducable: urxvt -fn 9x15, open a menu once,
434 ctrl-shift-672c).
435 - bugfix: the selection speedup in in 7.1 unfortunately caused
436 non-ascii characters to enlarge/move the selection.
437 - bugfix: resizing sometimes leaked lines from the secondary to
438 the primary screen.
439 - bugfix: reducing window size while large amounts of text were output
440 could lead to an assertion failure.
441 - added "tabbed" extension that provides a crude tabbed terminal.
442 - added "readline" extension that allows cursor positioning
443 via mouse clicks.
444 - now it is possible to insert the value of the CLIPBOARD selection
445 with shift - mouse button 2.
446 - fixed the automove-background extension to ignore coordinates
447 in non-synthetic events.
448 - created a separate libpty for portable and secure
449 pty/tty/utmp/wtmp/lastlog handling, and include it in rxvt-unicode.
450 - the non-terminfo visual bell now works asynchronously, so
451 continuous ASCI BELs in one terminal do no longer monopolise the
452 whole urxvt[d] process.
453 - support some *BSD makes (for the time being, gnu make is a safe bet).
454 - work around bugs in FreeBSD's gcc.
455 - implemented some *BSD fixes in configure.
456 - removed support for obsolete offix dnd protocol.
457
4587.1 Thu Jan 19 20:25:34 CET 2006
459 - setuid/setgid operation is now _encouraged_: security has been
460 improved by moving privileged operations into a separate process
461 and permanently dropping privileges within the terminal. This
462 makes it possible to remove security checks from the perl code
463 and gives a much safer feeling when urxvt needs to run with
464 special privileges.
465 - perl taint checking disabled, as urxvt no longer runs setuid/setgid
466 itself.
467 - new perl extension automove-background that can be used to get
468 the same effect as pseudo-transparency with any pixmap.
469 - new perl extension example: perl/selection-pastebin, can be used to
470 e.g. upload the selection to a webserver and generate a url, or
471 similar stuff.
472 - use the scrollback buffer even when the scroll region doesn't
473 span the whole screen, as long as it starts at row 0. Helps
474 for programs displaying a status line at the bottom.
475 - selection popup now shows selection in dec/hex/oct.
476 - perl/selection: matching on unicode characters in the selection
477 code was O(n²), which equals infinity in some degenerate cases
478 :-> Matching is now done on UTF-8, which makes it almost instant.
479 - perl/selection, perl/selection-autotransform: regexes are now
480 being interpreted in the locale urxvt was started.
481 - implemented override-redirect option and enabled it on menus,
482 as kwin puts our windows behind the terminal (what a shoddy wm).
483 - fixed struct utmp check in configure for OpenBSD.
484 - complete overhaul of the pty/utmp management stuff and configure
485 (Emanuele Giaquinta).
486 - add tsl/fsl and related capabilities to the terminfo description,
487 to set the window title.
488 - swap the environment in some more cases. This hopefully fixes
489 some segfaults that might be caused by xft asking for env variables
490 at the wrong time.
491 - removed src/strings.C and src/menubar.C. No menubar support
492 anymore.
493 - removed all traces of SMOOTH_REFRESH.
494 - nuked QNX support.
495 - made some fixes to xpm offset and scaling code.
496 - perl-overlays and refresh hooks were not applied in correct order.
497 - changed coordinate-system of view_start/nsaved to be top to bottom.
498 - iom extended to support listening for child exits.
499
5007.0 Fri Jan 13 14:02:18 CET 2006
501 - added sections for DISTRIBUTION MAINTAINERS and about
502 SETUID/SETGID to the FAQ.
503 - selection, searchable-scrollback, selection-popup and
504 option-popup extensions enabled by default.
505 - increased xft drawing speed for problematic fonts. The effect
506 will likely be small as 99% of the xft slowness is server-related.
507 - perl: much increased functionality, better overlays, popup support
508 and much much more.
509 - perl: urxvt::line now can set via ->t and ->r.
510 - perl: changed interpretation of --perl-ext-common and -pe.
511 - perl: finally implemented --perl-eval.
512 - perl: non-blocking anyevent support.
513 - perl: run tainted and ignore perl-eval/perl-lib if started
514 setuid/setgid.
515 - free the resource database: this plugs a massive memory leak. As a
516 side effect, it also gets rid of XGetDefault calls.
517 - free one of the cursors, fixes a small memory leak.
518 - built-in (as opposed to terminfos) visual bell was broken/too fast.
519 - applied minor cleanups by Ladislav Michnovic.
520 - applied pty handling cleanups and improvements (Emanuele Giaquinta).
521 - mark-urls launch-on-click by jepler.
522 - removed "small" resource parsing function, as it wasn't really
523 compatible, and not really small either.
524 - removed PATH_ENV and PATH file search support.
525 - removed support for locale-specific app-defaults file.
526 - fixed a bug where out-of-bounds colour sequences could lead
527 to crashes.
528 - limit colour changing to the standard 88 palette instead of all
529 colours.
530 - XTerm_Color01 sequence returned wrong results in query mode.
531 - iom.C now checks against destructed io_manager when unregistering.
532
5336.3 Wed Jan 4 22:37:10 CET 2006
534 - SECURITY FIX: on systems using openpty, permissions were
535 not correctly updated on the tty device and were left as
536 world-readable and world-writable (likely in original rxvt,
537 too), and were not restored properly. Affected are only
538 systems where non-unix ptys were used (such as most BSDs, not
539 GNU/Linux). (found, patched and debugged by Ryan Beasley).
540 - meta8 support was forcefully enabled in most configurations.
541 restored configurability of this (useless) feature (reported
542 by Mikachu).
543 - optionally embed a perl interpreter, which can be used for more
544 intelligent/customized selection support, visual feedback,
545 menus, tabs etc. See the the urxvtperl manpage, the -pe option,
546 perl*-resources and keysym resources. Not everything is there yet.
547 - try to be more clever about differing font sizes and their ascent.
548 Not guarenteed to work, but works better in most cases now.
549 - fix directory permissions on install.
550 - implemented option to disable built-in line drawing characters
551 and fall back to the font ones (patch by Martin Pohlack).
552 - disabled sched_yield support: the linux version is just too useless
553 (it schedules nice'd processes before the own one for extended
554 periods). Too bad, it could reduce system time by a factor of 5 here.
555
5566.2 Mon Jan 2 16:03:01 CET 2006
557 - implemented intensityStyles option which enables/disables bold/blink
558 selecting high intensity foreground/background colours, suggested by
559 Chuck Blake.
560 - move iso14755 character feedback box out of the way if it would
561 obscure the mouse cursor position.
562 - replaced callback.h by a fixed version from gvpe that correctly
563 returns the callback result (affects new -pty-fd semantics in urxvtc
564 on a few architectures). Reported by darix.
565 - include one trailing space in rectangular selections to indicate
566 the inserted newline (yeah, weird, but visually more pleasing).
567 - try to use sched_yield to (drastically) improve terminal data
568 transfer efficiency.
569 - further minor cleanups.
570
5716.1 Tue Dec 27 13:23:40 CET 2005
572 - update iso8859-7 table (euro and drachma round-trip et al.).
573 - fix a crash when the selection scrolls out of the scrollback
574 while the user still drags.
575 - selections that were partially scrolled out of the window were
576 not drawn correctly.
577 - lines newly scrolled in were not initialized properly, leading
578 to extremely long lines and (hopefully) some segfaults.
579 - iso14755 overlay position was wrong.
580 - iso14755 overlay now displays rendition info, too.
581 - use unicode white space class instead of hardcoded values for
582 stripping whitespace.
583 - do whitespace stripping on rectangular selections.
584 - slight cleanups in src/features.h.
585
5866.0 Sat Dec 24 13:58:56 CET 2005
587 - make it compile without SMART_RESIZE again.
588 - enable slow link support by default.
589 - fix relative cursor-positioning not respecting scrolling regions
590 (also a bug in original rxvt).
591 - initialize termios structure to zero when fetching it fails
592 (see http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=84647 for a
593 partial patch).
594 - bump max columns/rows to 10000 each.
595 - bump max savelines to 10000000.
596 - -pty-fd now passes the urxvtc fd to the urxvtd process.
597 - avoid linking against -lnsl/-lsocket/-lxpg4 unless neccessary.
598 - major code cleanup (still not complete, though).
599 - implement -hold option.
600 - _major_ rewrite of internal buffer handling:
601 - re-flow on resize, lines get wrapped instead of winged.
602 - circular line buffer (substantially speeds up scrolling).
603 - slightly less code + data memory usage per terminal.
604 - slight overall speed improvements.
605 - considerably improved code clarity.
606 - partial-screen scrolls no longer end up in the scrollback
607 buffer.
608
6095.9 Sat Dec 17 21:53:17 CET 2005
610 - fix a bug in the menu code of unknown impact, found by darix.
611 - clean up signal handling to be global, not per terminal
612 (matters only for rxvtd).
613 - fix small typoe in rxvt.1 (found by Mike Fabian).
614 - don't crash when broken xft/fontconfig/freetype versions return
615 bogus data, ignore the xft font instead (experienced on suse).
616
6175.8 Tue Oct 25 22:21:45 CEST 2005
618 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: many configure options are now on by default.
619 If you want the old behaviour, try:
620 configure --disable-everything <your enable options>
621 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: -fade changed it's meaning to comply with
622 the documentation and common sense: when upgrading, replace your
623 percentage by 100-percentage.
624 - integrated "fade to specific colour" patch by Martin Parm.
625 - slow down the internal visual bell (delay by 20ms) and update
626 the terminfo flash code to use the same delay. This is
627 synchronous, so many bells might inhibit screen updates in other
628 windows.
629 - text with background==foreground colour gets displayed with default
630 bg/fg now when in reverse video, so it can be seen when selecting.
631 - allow koi8r* as x11 encoding name for koi8r (Nikita Danilov).
632 - removed undocumented inheritPixmapforce option.
633 - replaced INSTALL file.
634
6355.7 Wed Jul 13 04:46:33 CEST 2005
636 - implement some useful (hopefully) options for rxvtd.
637 - separate and improved rxvtc(1) and rxvtd(1) manpages.
638 - fix a bug that caused segfaults on startup on systems that do
639 not support local unix connections, e.g cygwin. (btw, I didn't
640 even know about the -rootless and -multiwindow Cygwin/X modes).
641 - large amounts of text without control sequences or newlines
642 could almost freeze output. This has been fixed by adding extra
643 refreshes in these cases (also a problem in original rxvt).
644
6455.6 Sun Jun 26 22:11:13 CEST 2005
646 - R_SB_RXVT bitset value was 0, so rxvt scrollbar was initialised
647 every time resulting in display errors (original rxvt also affected).
648 Reported by Jasmin Buchert.
649 - font names are now considered to be utf-8 encoded (xft apperently
650 uses this convention. X Core fonts might not, but it should be rare).
651 Affects display in iso14755 box.
652 - rewrote the low-level xft drawing function ("xft backend" for the
653 hipper parts of the world) to hopefully cope better with proportional
654 chars mixed with fixed-width ones.
655 - rxvt is now much more careful (read: slower) with potentially
656 overlapping xft characters. It usually overshoots and redraws
657 more than required, but that's better than undershooting and
658 cutting pieces off of characters.
659 - rxvt is now more restrictive in what font heights it accepts for
660 fonts that will likely overshoot or undershoot lines.
661 - fix a cosmetic problem with the unfocused cursor on a wide character
662 at the end of the line (reported by Mikachu).
663 - wide characters not fitting into the end of the line will be
664 output in the next line (reported by Mikachu).
665 - added doc/solaris9.patch by Ewgenij Starostin.
666
6675.5 Sat Apr 23 22:31:36 CEST 2005
668 - re-enabled modifer state matching as in 5.3, but implement
669 a new builtin: keysym style that simply reverts to the built-in
670 meaning of the given key.
671 - use scrollcolor for next scrollbar instead of hardcoded antiquewhite
672 (patch by Martin Edlman).
673
6745.4 Mon Apr 18 00:33:31 CEST 2005
675 - match modifier state exactly in custom keyboard code.
676 this is necessary because it has no knowledge about
677 built-in mappings and so will overwrite them. the priority-code
678 will be re-enabled when this has changed, so watch out.
679 - cursor blinking now depends on frills.
680 - underline cursor mode (frills, -uc).
681 - implement special value (*g*) for pointerBlankDelay
682 to disable it.
683
6845.3 Sun Mar 13 00:20:44 CET 2005
685 - fix a bug that allowed to overflow a buffer via a long
686 escape sequence, which is probably exploitable (fix by
687 Rob Holland / Yoann Vandoorselaere / Gentoo Audit Team).
688 - Custom key mappings no longer confuse mouse buttons
689 with modifiers.
690 - use XmbSetWMProperties instead of XSetWMProperties.
691 - properly update WM_LOCALE.
692 - implement _NET_WM_PING protocol.
693 - implemented escape sequences to move the scrollback buffer view
694 and clear the scrollback buffer.
695
6965.2 Sun Feb 20 01:48:59 CET 2005
697 - new option -pty-fd that makes the terminal a slave
698 that uses an existing pty for I/O instead of starting
699 a command.
700 - implement enough of XEMBED to allow for correct focus.
701 - added doc/embed-tk, an embedding example in Perl/Tk,
702 and doc/rxvt-tabbed, a primitive tabbed shell implemented
703 in Perl/Gtk2.
704 - fix assertion failure ("crash") on mousewheel-scrolling
705 when the terminal height is small, by removing the assert.
706 (reported by Mikael Magnusson).
707 - SYNCCVS. backported bugfixes done to rxvt
708 (sourceforge bugs #1028739, #1028732), except for
709 pts/%s fix as it seems to collide with freebsd,
710 and sourceforge bug #954654, which is not neccessary.
711 - change terminfo file to not clobber G1 when using
712 line-drawing characters, as this seems to mess
713 with EUC-JP (it will clobber G0, but G0 practically
714 needs to be US-ASCII all the time).
715 - toggle default application keypad/cursor mode to help
716 some apps who fail to set the correct mode.
717 - check for WM_PROTOCOLS type in ClientMessage as to
718 not destroy the window for other types of messages.
15 - remove shared library (or any library) support - it is 719 - remove shared library (or any library) support - it is
16 of no use currently (and -embed is a better way to embed 720 of no use currently (and -embed is a better way to embed

23 - change terminfo file to not clobber G1 when using
24 line-drawing characters, as this seems to mess
25 with EUC-JP (it will clobber G0, but G0 practically
26 needs to be US-ASCII all the time).
