22TODO: /*TODO: the xlceararea/xfillrectangle below don't take scroll offste into account, ask mikachu for details */ 24 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: the urxvtd default socket path is now
25 $HOME/.urxvt/urxvtd-<nodename>.
26 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: A scale value of 0 in the bg image
27 geometry no longer enables tiling, so as to make it possible
28 to disable both scaling and tiling.
29 - overhaul of the bg image operations. The old operations have
30 been deprecated in favour of elementary operations and
31 styles built on top of the new operations and scale/position
32 settings. (Emanuele Giaquinta).
33 - fix a crash caused by selection_check not properly resetting
34 out-of-bounds mark values (can happen when extending a selection
35 while scrolling up in curses programs for example).
36 - do not move the selection when scrolling up and the selection is
37 outside the scrolling region (Emanuele Giaquinta).
38 - fix display of bold bright black (reported by Ben Winslow).
39 - fix memory leak when urgentOnBell is set (patch by Nathaniel
40 Filardo).
41 - fix a redraw bug that occurs when a bg pixmap is set and the
42 wm does not honour the size hints set by urxvt. Now urxvt
43 forces the size of the terminal window to be a multiple of
44 the cell size.
45 - sanitise the argument of SD / SU sequences. Fixes a possible
46 crash when the argument is big enough, red hat bug #711137
47 (Emanuele Giaquinta).
48 - correctly split long lines when scrolling.
49 - Fix compilation on systems with bsd style utmp and no utmpx,
50 such as openbsd.
51 - urxvt now looks for perl extensions also in $HOME/.urxvt/ext.
52 - add bell-command perl extension to execute a command when a
53 bell event occurs (Ryan Kavanagh).
54 - consume button release event in matcher (exg).
55 - keyboard accessible list of recent matches in matcher
56 (Bob Farrell).
57 - properly process 'keysym' sequences in tabbed when using
58 'focus follows mouse' and the focus is on the main window
59 but not on the active terminal window (patch by Martin
60 Pohlack).
61 - Support for the freedesktop startup-notification protocol (patch by
62 Michael Stapelberg).
63 - the direction of VPR and VPB commands was reversed.

24TODO: artificially enlargen wide characters at end to correctly cut&paste. 659.12 Wed Jun 29 14:34:28 CEST 2011
25TODO: cursor over overlays, when focus change? 66 - fix regression in processing of SelectionNotify events.
67 urxvt would fail to request a selection if the owner did not
68 support the UTF8_STRING target.
69 - fix rendering of double width chars in certain circumstances, more
70 likely to happen if urxvt is compiled with 256 colors support as
71 urxvt runs out of fonts much earlier then. Fixes gentoo bug #358151
72 (Emanuele Giaquinta).
73 - restore support for 'list' syntax in keysym resources (requested by Sung Pae).
74 - always premultiply colour values - while this increases differences between
75 core fonts and xft, it is "more correct" in practical situations.
76 - disable PTYTTY_REENTRANT option - not needed for urxvt and saves a bit of code.
77 - remove lucidatypewriter from the list of fallback fonts, it was the only
78 non-xft non-cellfont in the list anyway.
79
809.11 Mon May 2 10:34:46 CEST 2011
81 - fix compilation on GNU/Hurd, debian bug #624736.
82 - remove 'list' syntax for keysym resources, as it serves no useful purpose.
83 If you need it, poke us and provide a use case.
84 - fix alpha channel support. Premultiply alpha in colours if the visual
85 supports an alpha channel, as xrender expects premultiplied alpha
86 (Emanuele Giaquinta).
87 - fix reply to a selection request sent by an obsolete client
88 such as syncterm (patch by Marcin Cieslak).
89 - fix crash when the window is resized and the overlay is active
90 (Emanuele Giaquinta, reported by Ryan Kavanagh).
91 - match character-wise rather than byte-wise in selection
92 extension again. perl 5.8.9+ is required to avoid extreme
93 slowdowns. Fixes debian bugs #523072, #616463.
94 - fix a possible crash if the INCR transfer process for a
95 selection property timeouts and at least one chunk is
96 received. (Emanuele Giaquinta)
97 - work around a memory corruption bug in xorg's XrmSetDatabase (apparently
98 broken since http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/xorg-commit-diffs/2004-March/000239.html).
99 - fix memory corruption bug when custom command sequences bound to keys
100 were injected into an already-full pty input buffer.
101 - gdk-pixbuf is autodetected by default and preferred over libafterimage.
102 - do not prepend a newline to the selection text when the starting line
103 of the selection is not highlighted (Emanuele Giaquinta).
104 - don't swap perl env with real env, save and restore it, just in case
105 we ever get recursive perl invocations. also saves a bit of codespace
106 with gcc.
107 - fix various memory leaks (Emanuele Giaquinta).
108 - fix typo in kIC terminfo capability, debian bug #446444.
109 - document 'thickness' resource.
110 - fix debian bug #504817, to the extent possible.
111 - try to detect byte order at compile time, saves a couple of
112 hundred bytes, if your compiler is smart enough.
113 - add support for previewing the pasted data in confirm-paste
114 (Emanuele Giaquinta).
115 - added "newlines to spaces" option in selection-popup.
116 - actually enabled solaris event ports backend (was disabled by accident).
117 - revert to 38400 baud max., mission accomplished.
118 - no longer create scary "pty_fill: PLEASE REPORT" message, instead,
119 silently drain the input (problem is well understood now).
120 - no longer swallow rob nation's own graphics mode commands.
121
1229.10 Mon Dec 13 17:43:52 CET 2010
123 - the "schmorp=north korea dickey=south korea" release.
124 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: make OSC 20 simpler and more correct
125 (Emanuele Giaquinta).
126 - if options were compiled out, this could lead to the option
127 count to be defined wrongly. This is likely behind the
128 failures with gcc 4.5.
129 - explicitly depend on fontconfig and xrender when xft support
130 is enabled. Although the public Xft api uses types from
131 both, in Xft 2.2.0 these libs are private
132 dependencies only thanks to an idiotic behaviour of
133 pkg-config that was added to workaround cases like this one.
134 Fixes linking when using GNU ld with --as-needed or GNU gold
135 (based on patch by Jan Palus).
136 - fix minor memory leaks in urxvt and urxvtd.
137 - fix regression in urxvtd that prevented options from being correctly
138 set (reported by Michal Vaner).
139 - implement xterm's horribly broken 1005 mouse reporting mode,
140 and an alternative 1015 mode that works in non-utf-8 locales
141 and has fewer limitations.
142 - fix a possible bug where mouse notifications didn't work after
143 startup for the upper left corner.
144 - implement our own pixbuf to pixmap rendering to get rid of
145 dependency on buggy gdk-pixbuf-xlib. Only truecolor visuals
146 are supported (Emanuele Giaquinta).
147 - apply tinting before shading when both operations are requested.
148 Previously they were intermixed when lightening and the result
149 was inaccurate and confusing. Note that now a black tint yields a
150 completely black image, regardless of shading (Emanuele Giaquinta).
151 - avoid spurious redraws of the bg image when bg is transparent or
152 when using 'root' mode (Emanuele Giaquinta).
153 - fix build on XFree86.
154 - dynamically number options according to compiletime requirements.
155 For the extra saved byte. Or so. Yay.
156 - start options at one, not zero. Wastes a bit per terminal. Maybe.
157 saves 50 instruction bytes. Possibly.
158

172 - fix utmpx detection on upcoming FreeBSD 9.
173 - Use COMPOUND_TEXT encoding for WM_NAME/WM_ICON_NAME value when it
174 is not fully convertible to STRING (patch by James Cloos).

176 be generated for numpad keys (introduced in 9.05).
177 - fix definition of sgr0 to work around limitations in luit.
178 - extend ISO 14755 5.4 mode to also print the font name of the
179 characters other than first one in the selected cell
180 (Emanuele Giaquinta).
181 - new iso14755 option to disable ISO 14755 at runtime
182 (Emanuele Giaquinta).
183 - make sure pagewise scrolling scrolls at least one line
184 (found by Mikachu).
185 - remove deprecated OSC 18 / 19 and make OSC 17 / 19 apply to

192 - fix numlock handling, the most longstanding bug to date (Emanuele Giaquinta).
193 - reduce the number of custom bits to 4, to make room
194 for 256 colours.
195 - add support for 256 colors (Emanuele Giaquinta, Marc Lehmann).
196 - add rxvt-unicode-256color terminfo and use it by default in 256 colors mode.
197 - update rxvt-unicode terminfo to state 7744 colour pairs to cover all
198 88*88 possible pairs.
199 - actually added macosx-clipboard-native, which should have been in
200 the 9.07 release but had been forgotten.
201 - fix hang if DECAWM is not set and there are not enough columns to insert a
202 character (Emanuele Giaquinta).
203 - cub1 ("backspace") will now respect wrapping when past the rightmost column,
204 working around a shortcoming of most tty line discipline's line editing.
205 - add support for grabbing the clipboard selection and extend
206 selection{_clear,_grab,} perl bindings to optionally work
207 on the clipboard selection (based on patch by Dana Jansens).
208 - no longer force CERASE to BACKSPACE - use the system default. affects
209 default value for VERASE only when no compatible setting for
210 backspacekey was given.
211 - use higher than 38400 baudrate setting, if detected.

216 - enabled solaris event ports and kqueue backends (if available).
217
2189.07 Wed Dec 30 07:07:18 CET 2009
219 - port to glibc-2.10 changes (strchr etc. returning const char *
220 in C++), based on patches by Milos Jakubicek and Oliver Mader.
221 - the binary search algorithm to find precomposed characters
222 was faulty, skipping some possible combinations (found by
223 Mikachu).
224 - new -letterspace option, patch by Mark H. Wilkinson.
225 - enable --mlock option for urxvt with frills on
226 systems supporting it (patch by Russell Harmon).
227 - urxvt did not compile without frills enabled
228 (analysed by Matthew Rosewarne).
229 - correctly reset the mbstate after an illegal
230 input sequence when handling terminal output (Emanuele Giaquinta).
231 - avoid redrawing wide characters with combining enabled on every
232 refresh (reported by Mikachu).
233 - fix a typo preventing the ISO-646.1991 character set from being
234 recognized (http://achurch.org/patch-pile/).
235 - better warning for x11 font encoding detection failures, also,
236 try to deduce encoding from both font properties and name
237 (adapted from http://achurch.org/patch-pile/).
238 - resizing the window with the scrollbar disabled via the escapes
239 sequence could make the window bigger again (Mikachu).

244 the old version to macosx-clipboard-native.
245 - document the -uc option (Emanuele Giaquinta).
246 - assertions in libev are now enabled depending on frills.
247 - update AnyEvent implementation to version 5.23 API.
248 - work around arrogant bsd idiocies again: netbsd spills the default
249 namespace with lots of symbols "for gnu/gcc compatibility" even
250 though neither of them does it, and then calls the rest of the world
251 in need of fixing. go figure.
252 - on_keyboard_command is on_user_command (patch by Michael Witten).
253 - setting the selection from perl will now reset the selection screen
254 to the current screen. the screen can be manipulated using

271 when part of them was deleted (tracked down by Miroslav Lichvar).
272 - artificially enlargen the previous character at the end of a line
273 when trying to output a character that doesn't fit. looks ugly, but

286 the only known workaround.
287 - new option -icon to set _NET_WM_ICON (based on patch by Frank Schmitt).

289 to save memory in the common case of not using visual gimmicks.
290 - try to work around bugs in a few wm's that erroneously resize
291 client windows on hint property updates by temporarily
292 disabling size hints.
293 - implement the DECSTR soft reset sequence and use it for tput init,
294 and make hard RIS and DECSTR both reset more private modes, such
295 as mouse reporting.
296 - redundantly clear mouse reporting and a few other states in
297 tput init/tput reset, for older urxvts.
298 - partial/full clear screens did cause flickering and possibly pixel
299 droppings when urxvt viewed the scrollback buffer.
