28
29 - make sure pagewise scrolling scrolls at least one line
30 (found by Mikachu).
31 - new on_bell perl hook (Emanuele Giaquinta).
32 - new iso14755 option to disable ISO 14755 at runtime
33 (Emanuele Giaquinta).
34
359.07 Wed Dec 30 07:07:18 CET 2009
36 - port to glibc-2.10 changes (strchr etc. returning const char *
37 in C++), based on patches by Milos Jakubicek and Oliver Mader.
38 - the binary search algorithm to find precomposed characters
39 was faulty, skipping some possible combinations (found by
40 Mikachu).
41 - new -letterspace option, patch by Mark H. Wilkinson.
42 - enable --mlock option for urxvt with frills on
43 systems supporting it (patch by Russell Harmon).
44 - urxvt did not compile without frills enabled
45 (analysed by Matthew Rosewarne).
46 - correctly reset the mbstate after an illegal
47 input sequence when handling terminal output (Emanuele Giaquinta).
48 - avoid redrawing wide characters with combining enabled on every
49 refresh (reported by Mikachu).
50 - fix a typo preventing the ISO-646.1991 character set from being
51 recognized (http://achurch.org/patch-pile/).
52 - better warning for x11 font encoding detection failures, also,
53 try to deduce encoding from both font properties and name
54 (adapted from http://achurch.org/patch-pile/).
55 - resizing the window with the scrollbar disabled via the escapes
56 sequence could make the window bigger again (Mikachu).
57 - make sure the alignment for fd passing control messages
58 is correct and work around some NetBSD issues (Taylor R Campbell).
59 - update to libptytty 1.3.
60 - replace macosx-pastebin by a nicer version by Reza Jelveh, and move
61 the old version to macosx-pastebin-native.
62 - document the -uc option (Emanuele Giaquinta).
63 - assertions in libev are now enabled depending on frills.
64 - update AnyEvent implementation to version 5.23 API.
65 - work around arrogant bsd idiocies again: netbsd spills the default
66 namespace with lots of symbols "for gnu/gcc compatibility" even
67 though neither of them does it, and then calls the rest of the world
68 in need of fixing. go figure.
69 - on_keyboard_command is on_user_command (patch by Michael Witten).
70 - setting the selection from perl will now reset the selection screen
71 to the current screen. the screen can be manipulated using
72 the new ->selection_screen method.
73 - implement --enable-assert configure option and get rid of DEBUG_STRICT
74 (based on patch by Emanuele Giaquinta).
75 - fix printpipe data output (patch by Emanuele Giaquinta).
76 - allow `xxx' quoting style for perl selection.
77 - upgrade to libev-3.9 prerelease.
78 - updated compose tables to unicode 5.2.0.
79
809.06 Sat Nov 8 17:47:18 CET 2008
81 - NOTICE: this release updates terminfo/termcap.
82 - updates libev to 3.48.
83 - the aterm code now frees the as visual and image manager objects
84 when a window was closed.
85 - do not (wrongly) adjust the virtual line length inside
86 scr_insdel_chars/ERASE (Miroslav Lichvar).
87 - fix an issue where wide tab characters caused character shifts
88 when part of them was deleted (tracked down by Miroslav Lichvar).
89 - artificially enlargen the previous character at the end of a line
90 when trying to output a character that doesn't fit. looks ugly, but
91 makes copy&paste work.
92 - remove bogus "setuid/setgid security issues" from rxvt.1.pod, they
93 no longer apply.
94 - the urgency hint is now cleared on both focus in and focus out.
95 - cache urgency hint locally to avoid server rtt on every focus change.
96 - perl 5.10 needs PERL_SYS_INIT3 on hppa.
97 - ignore byte-order marks and do not treat them like combining characters.
98 - fix build issue when CURSOR_BLINK is not defined (Emanuele Giaquinta).
99 - do some µ-optimisations to the character fast path.
100 - use a less cunning, but more robust algorithm to avoid one terminal
101 monopolising the whole process by outputting a lot of text.
102 - try to work around linux first breaking sched_yield and now breaking
103 the only known workaround.
104 - new option -icon to set _NET_WM_ICON (based on patch by Frank Schmitt).
105 - initialise the as visual only on demand, instead of unconditionally,
106 to save memory in the common case of not using visual gimmicks.
107 - try to work around bugs in a few wm's that erroneously resize
108 client windows on hint property updates by temporarily
109 disabling size hints.
110 - implement the DECSTR soft reset sequence and use it for tput init,
111 and make hard RIS and DECSTR both reset more private modes, such
112 as mouse reporting.
113 - redundantly clear mouse reporting and a few other states in
114 tput init/tput reset, for older urxvts.
115 - partial/full clear screens did cause flickering and possibly pixel
116 droppings when urxvt viewed the scrollback buffer.
117 - use current rendition style in DCH sequence.
118 - the 132/80 mode switch no longer forces a screen reset.
119 - add an osc sequence to change the border colour (Emanuele Giaquinta).
120 - new perl extension "overlay-osc", for status displays and the like.
121 - fix some minor cursor drawing issues with overlays by allowing
122 overlays to modify screen flags (to disable the cursor themselves).
123 - work around programs not restoring rstyle before rmcup
124 (analysed by Miroslav Lichvar).
125
1269.05 Sun Jun 15 20:09:20 CEST 2008
127 - new option --cd/chdir to set the starting working directory.
128 - tabbed extension now starts in the "correct" working directory.
129 - work around fedora 9 providing isastream but not the relevant
130 header file for it (report by Tuncer Ayaz).
131 - upgrade libev, fixing a bug in the select backend.
132 with more than 31 file descriptors on non-linux 64 bit systems.
133 - correctly reset the multibyte state to the initial one
134 after EILSEQ (patch by Neil Booth). This fixes the
135 issue of rxvt-unicode not properly displaying text after an illegal
136 sequence on NetBSD and probably other systems.
137 - more intelligent property handling with -pe tabbed, works around
138 broken window managers (kwm et al.), saves bandwidth and should
139 help working window managers as well.
140 - made tabs moveable (based on a patch by Petr Machata).
141 - implement ESC [ 3 K as a more rational alternative to ESC [ 0 K.
142 - support relative paths for RXVT_SOCKET in urxvtd.
143 - the tabbed extension now blindly copies over all (rxvt-) resources
144 from the toplevel window to the children.
145 - better diagnostic on 0x0 window geometries.
146 - update AnyEvent API to version 3.4 and above.
147 - document the default value of :0 for DISPLAY.
148 - rename perl method XChangeWindowProperty to XChangeProperty.
149
1509.02 Tue Jan 29 11:58:36 CET 2008
151 - the "exg makes everybody happy" release.
152 - fix build with !xft.
153 - always compile in plain style scrollbar (simplifies code and looks great).
154
1559.01 Sat Jan 26 20:49:27 CET 2008
156 - be more aggressive about handling X events, this seems to be required
157 with newer xlibs (should fix the "screen stays black until event is
158 received" problem, again :)
159 - add buffered resource to control xft double-buffering.
160
1619.0 Fri Jan 25 19:34:04 CET 2008
162 - fix a crash bug where urxvtd would crash when urxvtc was called
163 with wrong arguments (I wish debian maintainers in general would
164 report bugs and their proposed fixes to the original package maintainers
165 instead of sitting on them for good measure to see if anybody notices).
166 - drawing xft compose characters was causing garbage to be drawn.
167 - correctly clear xft character background in all cases.
168 - implement bracketed paste mode (xterm private mode 2004).
169 - improve documentation on alpha channel handling, make urxvt
170 work better on servers lacking the RENDER extension when alpha
171 channels or background images are used.
172 - check for refresh after initialising to avoid staying blank
173 till the first event arrives. or so.
174 - the FORCE_UNBUFFERED_XFT feature macro works again.
175 - continuously update transparency while moving/resizing now.
176 - OSC 39/49 are deprecated and aliased to OSC 10/11.
177 - cub1 now acts as advertised (and ignores the "wrapped" state).
178 - the 132/80 mode switch now forces a height of 24, too, and
179 resets the terminal.
180 - scrollbar code cleanups.
181 - stopping children is no longer confused with children exiting.
182 - removed (undocumented) #aarrggbb format.
183 - updated to libev 3.0.
184
1858.9 Mon Dec 24 07:51:40 CET 2007
186 - fix the issue where urxvtd would not immediately close a window
187 when the command exited but only on the next X event.
188 - changed terminfo file not to use application keypad mode.
189 - fix the issue where making a selection in one urxvtd window
190 would not clear it visually in another.
191 - fix an issue of urxvt not getting background pixmap updates
192 and flickering after bg pixmap changes (reported by Mikachu).
193 - fix redraw bug in xterm scrollbar with -sr (reported by Mikachu).
194 - correctly provide dependencies for libev (µikachu).
195 - minor code reorganisations and cleanups.
196 - be more robust in case the urxvt-popup extension cannot be loaded.
197
1988.8 Sat Dec 15 19:40:39 CET 2007
199 - option -C was aliased to all unsupported options, activating
200 options that shouldn't be compiled in, leading to interesting
201 effects.
202 - updated libev, working around a bug in linux 2.4, curing the
203 symptom of urxvt not closing its window on shell exit. also
204 fixes a problem with urxvt not refreshing.
205 - the text blink callback was called even when no blinking
206 text was visible.
207 - pre-8.4 slipwheeling behaviour has been reinstated, with
208 some minor improvements.
209 - streamlined x events processing to only flush once per
210 display and not once per terminal window.
211 - quite a bit of minor code cleanups and codesize optimisations.
212
2138.7 Sun Nov 25 10:23:49 CET 2007
214 - update libev with an important bugfix that would cause crashes
215 when closing windows (when using rxvtd, and update is recommended).
216 - do not compile in the block builtin graphics with --disable-frills.
