10TODO: default selection should handle = better 11TODO: better resource handling for tabbar in -pe tabbed.
12WISH: investigate -pe tabbed -g 80x25 being 23 not 24 or 25 lines
13 => when setting the constraints, the wm might (correctly)
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

22TODO: /*TODO: the xlceararea/xfillrectangle below don't take scroll offste into account, ask mikachu for details */
23
24TODO: artificially enlargen wide characters at end to correctly cut&paste.
25 - perl 5.10 needs PERL_SYS_INIT3 on hppa.
26 - ignore byte-order marks and do not treat them like combining characters.
27 - fix build issue when CURSOR_BLINK is not defined (Emanuele Giaquinta).
28 - do some µ-optimisations to the character fast path.
29
309.05 Sun Jun 15 20:09:20 CEST 2008
31 - new option --cd/chdir to set the starting working directory.
32 - tabbed extension now starts in the "correct" working directory.
33 - work around fedora 9 providing isastream but not the relevant
34 header file for it (report by Tuncer Ayaz).
35 - upgrade libev, fixing a bug in the select backend
36 with more than 31 file descriptors on non-linux 64 bit systems.
37 - correctly reset the multibyte state to the initial one
38 after EILSEQ (patch by Neil Booth). This fixes the
39 issue of rxvt-unicode not properly displaying text after an illegal
40 sequence on NetBSD and probably other systems.
41 - more intelligent property handling with -pe tabbed, works around
42 broken window managers (kwm et al.), saves bandwidth and should
43 help working window managers as well.
44 - made tabs moveable (based on a patch by Petr Machata).
45 - implement ESC [ 3 K as a more rational alternative to ESC [ 0 K.
46 - support relative paths for RXVT_SOCKET in urxvtd.
47 - the tabbed extension now blindly copies over all (rxvt-) resources
48 from the toplevel window to the children.
49 - better diagnostic on 0x0 window geometries.
50 - update AnyEvent API to version 3.4 and above.
51 - document the default value of :0 for DISPLAY.
52 - rename perl method XChangeWindowProperty to XChangeProperty.
53
549.02 Tue Jan 29 11:58:36 CET 2008
55 - the "exg makes everybody happy" release.
56 - fix build with !xft.
57 - always compile in plain style scrollbar (simplifies code and looks great).
58
599.01 Sat Jan 26 20:49:27 CET 2008
60 - be more aggressive about handling X events, this seems to be required
61 with newer xlibs (should fix the "screen stays black until event is
62 received" problem, again :)
63 - add buffered resource to control xft double-buffering.
64
659.0 Fri Jan 25 19:34:04 CET 2008
66 - fix a crash bug where urxvtd would crash when urxvtc was called
67 with wrong arguments (I wish debian maintainers in general would
68 report bugs and their proposed fixes to the original package maintaienrs
69 instead of sitting on them for good measure to see if anybody notices).
70 - drawing xft compose characters was causing garbage to be drawn.
71 - correctly clear xft character background in all cases.
72 - implement bracketed paste mode (xterm private mode 2004).
73 - improve documentation on alpha channel handling, make urxvt
74 work better on servers lacking the RENDER extension when alpha
75 channels or background images are used.
76 - check for refresh after initialising to avoid staying blank
77 till the first event arrives. or so.
78 - the FORCE_UNBUFFERED_XFT feature macro works again.
79 - continuously update transparency while moving/resizing now.
80 - OSC 39/49 are deprecated and aliased to OSC 10/11.
81 - cub1 now acts as advertised (and ignores the "wrapped" state).
82 - the 132/80 mode switch now forces a height of 24, too, and
83 resets the terminal.
84 - scrollbar code cleanups.
85 - stopping children is no longer confused with children exiting.
86 - removed (undocumented) #aarrggbb format.
87 - updated to libev 3.0.
88
898.9 Mon Dec 24 07:51:40 CET 2007
90 - fix the issue where urxvtd would not immediately close a window
91 when the command exited but only on the next X event.
92 - changed terminfo file not to use application keypad mode.
93 - fix the issue where making a selection in one urxvtd window
94 would not clear it visually in another.
95 - fix an issue of urxvt not getting background pixmap updates
96 and flickering after bg pixmap changes (reported by Mikachu).
97 - fix redraw bug in xterm scrollbar with -sr (reported by Mikachu).
98 - correctly provide dependencies for libev (µikachu).
99 - minor code reorganisations and cleanups.
100 - be more robust in case the urxvt-popup extension cannot be loaded.
101
1028.8 Sat Dec 15 19:40:39 CET 2007
103 - option -C was aliased to all unsupported options, activating
104 options that shouldn't be compiled in, leading to interesting
105 effects.
106 - updated libev, working around a bug in linux 2.4, curing the
107 symptom of urxvt not closing its window on shell exit. also
108 fixes a problem with urxvt not refreshing.
109 - the text blink callback was called even when no blinking
110 text was visible.
111 - pre-8.4 slipwheeling behaviour has been reinstated, with
112 some minor improvements.
113 - streamlined x events processing to only flush once per
114 display and not once per terminal window.
115 - quite a bit of minor code cleanups and codesize optimisations.
116
1178.7 Sun Nov 25 10:23:49 CET 2007
118 - update libev with an important bugfix that would cause crashes
119 when closing windows (when using rxvtd, and update is recommended).
120 - do not compile in the block builtin graphics with --disable-frills.
121
1228.6 Fri Nov 23 14:10:57 CET 2007
123 - upgrade libev to disable kqueue on anything but netbsd as it
124 seems to be broken everywhere else w.r.t. ptys.
125 - allow for spurious event notifications, as at least epoll and
126 especially solaris ports like to lie about them (symptoms:
127 urxvt "hangs" until there is some x11 related activity).
128 - -keysym command line options are now subjected to xlib parsing.
129 - add 'xrm' option analogous to Xt one.
130
1318.5a Wed Nov 21 10:16:33 CET 2007
132 - make it compile with --disable-transparency.
133
1348.5 Wed Nov 21 05:19:20 CET 2007
135 - expect major portability issues in this release: please test and report.
136 - converted from the veritable io manager event loop to
137 the high performance libev (http://software.schmorp.de/pkg/libev).
138 - minor tuning to the perl selection (include single words and more quoting chars).
139 - fix memory leak in pixmap code.
140 - fix a serious bug while setting the XIM destroy callback
141 on (typical) 64 bit systems.
142 - automove-background functionality re-implemented internaly using :root op in pixmap
143 geometry string. For example: rxvt -pixmap "image.jpg;:root"
144 - do not link rxvtc against every lib on the planet anymore.
145 - parallel builds should work once more.
146
1478.4 Sat Oct 27 14:02:13 CEST 2007
148 - overhaul of the transparency/pixmap code (sasha).
149 - fix possible race betwen visual bell and poweron.
150 (reported by Martin von Gagern, gentoo?).
151 - urxvt -e no longer crashes the child.
152 - fixed some minor memleaks on incorrect usage or
153 missing DISPLAY.
154 - implement xterm 1002/1003 mouse tracking modes (exg).
155 - source code organisational cleanups (exg).
156 - updated io_manager.
157
1588.3 Wed Aug 1 20:21:31 CEST 2007
159 - new option: skipScroll/-ss, enabled by default.
160 - go with the times and expect x11 library files in /usr/lib, not
161 /usr/X11R6/lib.
162 - initial transparency improvement/afterimage support
163 patch by Sasha Vasko.
164 - add urgentOnBell resource to set the urgency hint
165 (patch by Philip Paeps).
166 - do not process focus events caused by grabs
167 (patch by Mikachu).
168 - add iso14755_52 resource to disable iso14755 5.2 (exg).
169 - add binding for backspace in iso14755 5.1 to remove the last
170 digit (exg).
171 - better option handling, support more than 30 options (exg).
172 - nuke reconf script, serves no purpose anymore.
173 - fixed and documented matcher/on_user_command processing in matcher
174 extension (tpope).
175 - compile out of the box on Solaris 10 (exg).
176 - fix MappingNotify events (reported by Stephan Walter).
177 - zero-initialise mwmhints, this seems to solve all sorts of minor
178 problems.
179
1808.2 Sat Feb 17 21:35:28 CET 2007
181 - fix make depend in src/, reported by exg.
182 - fixed typo in urxvt::GET_CUSTOM, causing the result to be wrong.
183 (patch by Sergey Vlasov).
184 - unbundled iom perl interface somewhat.
185 - scrollbar-xterm now uses the selected scrollColor instead of fg
186 (found by Aiviru).
187 - disabled linux kernel bug workaround again: disabling it gives
188 a 50% speed hit on affected machines, while enabling it gives
189 a similar speed hit to screen, which is likely the more common
190 case to work around for :/
191 - urxvt::rend2mask perl function, and utilization of it by matcher
192 (patch by Moshe Kamensky).
193 - use perl:matcher on a keysym to open most recently displayed URL.
194 - with matcher, when multiple patterns match, last wins, not first.
195 - fix make and make install with srcdir != builddir (exg).
196 - updated bundled libptytty to fix a bug where the tty would be kept
197 open (see the libptytty ChangeLog for details).
198 - delay setting the IUTF8 flag to after the tty settings have been
199 set so its value does not get lost (reported and analysed by Andrei
200 Paskevich).
201 - rip out support for obsolete sgtty.h interface.
202 - rip out support for non-POSIX termios variants.
203 - update libptytty.
204 - update iom.C, make it call ptytty::sanitise_stdfd on init.
205 - when !XFT, change rounding of colours to use a less correct formula to
206 meet user expectancies (#aaa becomes #a000a000a000 not #9f9f9f9f9f9f).
207 - change the starting offset of the pixmap set with backgroundPixmap
208 from (50,50) to (0,0) (exg).
209 - fix a typo in button_release, now meta-button2 request the value of
210 the Clipboard selection as it should (patch by Serge Koksharov).
211 - fix a bug in drawing a cell with a nonspacing char when using an xft
212 font with inheritPixmap and tintColor (exg).
213
2148.1 Thu Dec 7 22:27:25 CET 2006
215 - ケリスマスプレゼント - zomg!!1, it's too early!!!
216 - fix the assumption that chars < 256 are single-width. Now
217 only assume this for codepoints 32 to 126 (reported by Dai.H.).
218 - $term->strwidth returned wide chars as width 1, because some jerk
219 confused min and max. Fixing this also fixes xim-onthespot.
220 Reported by Takano Akio.
221 - secondaryScroll is now enabled by default (as per the manpage),
222 reported by exg.
223 - correct the description of [percent]color rgba format in the manpage.
224 - incorporated macosx-clipboard extension by Samuel Ljungkvist.
225 - ignore (some) useless focus events (reported by mmc).
226 - updated compose table to unicode 5.0.0.
227
2288.0 Thu Nov 2 18:35:19 CET 2006
229 - combining characters cleared the area instead of creating an overlay,
230 thus losing the ability to draw combining characters properly in most
231 circumstances (reported by exg).
232 - specified fonts were incorrectly morphed to bold/italic according to the
233 basefont, even if explicitly specified (tracked down by tpope).
234 - fixed urxvt::strwidth to calculate width in the same way as screen.C.
235 - fix a crash caused by passing negative widths to overlay functions.
236 - added 'matcher' extension by tpope, replacing the mark-urls extension.
237 - improve url regex to match anything www.* (tpope).
238 - fixed bug with outline cursor color being wrong after xft fonts.
239 - update to libptytty-1.0.
240 - give proper diagnostic when RXVT_SOCKET is too long instead of
241 corrupting the stack (patch by exg).
242 - display current terminal locale in option menu.
243 - urxvtd no longer crashes when the client sends an inaccessible
244 working directory (reported by Roland Baer, possibly fixes gentoo
245 bug #143985).
246 - fixed many minor issues reported by Roland Baer.
247 - Leonid Khramov spotted a minor glitch in rxvtfont.C that
248 should not have any consequences, but was buggy nonetheless.
249 - manpage fix by exg.
250
2517.9 Mon Aug 7 18:16:07 CEST 2006
252 - fix the crashing bug people encountered with 7.8 + urxvtd + perl
253 + transparency. Ought to fix debian bug #380348.
254 - fix urxvtc.1.pod: it actually claimed -pty-fd would not work. But
255 it does! :->
256 - rxvt_fatal() in case the locale string is too long for our static buffer.
257 - fixed many, many, typos in the manpages (patch supplied by ves).
258
2597.8 Mon Jul 17 21:00:46 CEST 2006
260 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: this version will always read ~/.Xdefaults,
261 earlier versions only read it if display-resources (usually from
262 .Xresources) are not set. This avoids the #1 FAQ ("why isn't my
263 resource used") and seems to be logical behaviour, too. .Xdefaults
264 resources have a lower priority than display-specific resources.
265 - add "kuake" perl extension that does a similar thing to the kuake
266 terminal emulator (see man urxtvperl).
267 - use less "correct" color scaling that is compatible with libX11 and
268 Xft (avoids off-by-one colors resulting in striped backgrounds).
269 - the "depth" resource is now respected.
270 - preset the searchable-scrollback pattern with "(?i)" to default search
271 to case-insensitivity. Will automatically be cleared when typing an
272 uppercase character.
273 - add FORCE_UNBUFFERED_XFT define to features.h.
274 - re-enabled highlightcolor support with --enable-frills, based on
275 a patch by Martin Stubenschrott.
276 - double-buffered xft drawing did suffer from pixel offset issues
277 when pixmap transparency was enabled.
278 - strategically add # to the url-match regexes, as we really want to
279 match common URIs not common URLs. Reported by Aaron Griffin.
280 - moved on_osc_seq to on_osc_seq_perl and added a more
281 generic osc_seq.
282 - fix a bug causing double callback invocations when perl hooks
283 were invoked recursively.
284 - the automove-background extension now properly works when the
285 pixmap gets reset with an osc sequence (sqweek).
286 - selection-pastebin did not work properly with non-latin1-characters.
287 - apply colorUL only when the text colour is the default fg
288 (patch by Wu Fengguang).
289 - removed rxvtlib.h from the tarball, it had no reason to be there
290 (spotted by Decklin Foster).
291 - fix compiling with TRANSPARENT but !XPM_BACKGROUND, as reported
292 by omatunto_.
293 - slap in a using namespace std, might help on platforms that don't
294 follow C++ closely enough.
295 - fix mailto url regex, spotted within milliseconds by Jost Krieger.
296 - applied fade_color_update_func.patch by WU Fengguang.
297 - fix a bug where (due to an optimisation in av_delete), hiding the
298 bottom-most overlay would hide two overlays.
299
3007.7 Tue Feb 21 12:32:49 CET 2006
301 - use double-buffered drawing (xft fonts only). On many driver/hardware
302 combination this actually increases xft drawing speed, at the expense
303 of more network bandwidth and slight nausea on the side of the author.
16 - readline perl extension now requires shift-click instead of a normal 304 - readline perl extension now requires shift-click instead of a normal
17 click. 305 click, and eats the click.
306 - tabbed perl extension now supports -e.
307 - disabled graphics-exposures on the main drawing GC, report any
308 refresh bugs please.
18 - improve property handling for -pe tabbed: avoid unnecessary property 309 - improve property handling for -pe tabbed: avoid unnecessary property

22 the preedit rectangle for OverTheSpot, which helps some input methods 313 the preedit rectangle for OverTheSpot, which helps some input methods
23 to correctly position their preedit window. 314 to correctly position their preedit window.
315 - un-optimise the line clearing on newly scrolled-in lines a bit: the
316 former reasoning was that any fg colour on default bg looks the same
317 in empty spaces, but thats not true when reversing (e.g. selection),
318 so also check for matching fg colours. This fixes the problem where
319 selecting newly scrolled-in lines would exhibit wrong colours.
320 - fix a bug in the perl interface causing focus in events to generate
321 focus out perl events, causing bad focus effects with -pe tabbed.
322 - fix a race resulting in a crash on exiting.
323 - fix a with --disable-xft that caused xfreecolors to be called on
324 colors never allocated, resulting in aborts (reported by Paco-Paco).
325 - resources on non-initial screens weren't refetched correctly
326 (reported by Paco-Paco).
327 - fix a bug in xcopyarea pass and _disable_ it, as it seems not to be
328 working in either rxvt-unicode nor in the original rxvt.
329 - removed undocumented -exec alias for the -e option.
24 330
257.6 Fri Feb 10 08:52:36 CET 2006 3317.6 Fri Feb 10 08:52:36 CET 2006
26 - changed interpretation of [alpha] colour prefix. 332 - changed interpretation of [alpha] colour prefix.
