26 - add support for grabbing the clipboard selection and extend
27 selection{_clear,_grab,} perl bindings to optionally work
28 on the clipboard selection (based on patch by Dana Jansens).
29 - extend ISO 14755 5.4 mode to also print the font name of the
30 characters other than first one in the selected cell
31 (Emanuele Giaquinta).
32 - make sure pagewise scrolling scrolls at least one line
33 (found by Mikachu).
34 - new on_bell perl hook (Emanuele Giaquinta).
35 - new iso14755 option to disable ISO 14755 at runtime
36 (Emanuele Giaquinta).

389.07 Wed Dec 30 07:07:18 CET 2009
39 - port to glibc-2.10 changes (strchr etc. returning const char *
40 in C++), based on patches by Milos Jakubicek and Oliver Mader.
41 - the binary search algorithm to find precomposed characters
42 was faulty, skipping some possible combinations (found by
43 Mikachu).
44 - new -letterspace option, patch by Mark H. Wilkinson.
45 - enable --mlock option for urxvt with frills on
46 systems supporting it (patch by Russell Harmon).
47 - urxvt did not compile without frills enabled
48 (analysed by Matthew Rosewarne).
49 - correctly reset the mbstate after an illegal
50 input sequence when handling terminal output (Emanuele Giaquinta).
51 - avoid redrawing wide characters with combining enabled on every
52 refresh (reported by Mikachu).
53 - fix a typo preventing the ISO-646.1991 character set from being
54 recognized (http://achurch.org/patch-pile/).
55 - better warning for x11 font encoding detection failures, also,
56 try to deduce encoding from both font properties and name
57 (adapted from http://achurch.org/patch-pile/).
58 - resizing the window with the scrollbar disabled via the escapes
59 sequence could make the window bigger again (Mikachu).
60 - make sure the alignment for fd passing control messages
61 is correct and work around some NetBSD issues (Taylor R Campbell).
62 - update to libptytty 1.3.
63 - replace macosx-pastebin by a nicer version by Reza Jelveh, and move
64 the old version to macosx-pastebin-native.
65 - document the -uc option (Emanuele Giaquinta).
66 - assertions in libev are now enabled depending on frills.
67 - update AnyEvent implementation to version 5.23 API.
68 - work around arrogant bsd idiocies again: netbsd spills the default
69 namespace with lots of symbols "for gnu/gcc compatibility" even
70 though neither of them does it, and then calls the rest of the world
71 in need of fixing. go figure.
72 - on_keyboard_command is on_user_command (patch by Michael Witten).
73 - setting the selection from perl will now reset the selection screen
74 to the current screen. the screen can be manipulated using
75 the new ->selection_screen method.
76 - implement --enable-assert configure option and get rid of DEBUG_STRICT
77 (based on patch by Emanuele Giaquinta).
78 - fix printpipe data output (patch by Emanuele Giaquinta).
79 - allow `xxx' quoting style for perl selection.
80 - upgrade to libev-3.9 prerelease.
81 - updated compose tables to unicode 5.2.0.
82
839.06 Sat Nov 8 17:47:18 CET 2008
84 - NOTICE: this release updates terminfo/termcap.
85 - updates libev to 3.48.
86 - the aterm code now frees the as visual and image manager objects
87 when a window was closed.
88 - do not (wrongly) adjust the virtual line length inside
89 scr_insdel_chars/ERASE (Miroslav Lichvar).
90 - fix an issue where wide tab characters caused character shifts
91 when part of them was deleted (tracked down by Miroslav Lichvar).
92 - artificially enlargen the previous character at the end of a line
93 when trying to output a character that doesn't fit. looks ugly, but
94 makes copy&paste work.
95 - remove bogus "setuid/setgid security issues" from rxvt.1.pod, they
96 no longer apply.
97 - the urgency hint is now cleared on both focus in and focus out.
98 - cache urgency hint locally to avoid server rtt on every focus change.
99 - perl 5.10 needs PERL_SYS_INIT3 on hppa.
100 - ignore byte-order marks and do not treat them like combining characters.
101 - fix build issue when CURSOR_BLINK is not defined (Emanuele Giaquinta).
102 - do some ยต-optimisations to the character fast path.
103 - use a less cunning, but more robust algorithm to avoid one terminal
104 monopolising the whole process by outputting a lot of text.
105 - try to work around linux first breaking sched_yield and now breaking
106 the only known workaround.
107 - new option -icon to set _NET_WM_ICON (based on patch by Frank Schmitt).
108 - initialise the as visual only on demand, instead of unconditionally,
109 to save memory in the common case of not using visual gimmicks.
110 - try to work around bugs in a few wm's that erroneously resize
111 client windows on hint property updates by temporarily
112 disabling size hints.
113 - implement the DECSTR soft reset sequence and use it for tput init,
114 and make hard RIS and DECSTR both reset more private modes, such
115 as mouse reporting.
116 - redundantly clear mouse reporting and a few other states in
117 tput init/tput reset, for older urxvts.
118 - partial/full clear screens did cause flickering and possibly pixel
119 droppings when urxvt viewed the scrollback buffer.
120 - use current rendition style in DCH sequence.
121 - the 132/80 mode switch no longer forces a screen reset.
122 - add an osc sequence to change the border colour (Emanuele Giaquinta).
123 - new perl extension "overlay-osc", for status displays and the like.
124 - fix some minor cursor drawing issues with overlays by allowing
125 overlays to modify screen flags (to disable the cursor themselves).
126 - work around programs not restoring rstyle before rmcup
127 (analysed by Miroslav Lichvar).
128
1299.05 Sun Jun 15 20:09:20 CEST 2008
130 - new option --cd/chdir to set the starting working directory.
131 - tabbed extension now starts in the "correct" working directory.
132 - work around fedora 9 providing isastream but not the relevant
133 header file for it (report by Tuncer Ayaz).
134 - upgrade libev, fixing a bug in the select backend.
135 with more than 31 file descriptors on non-linux 64 bit systems.
136 - correctly reset the multibyte state to the initial one
137 after EILSEQ (patch by Neil Booth). This fixes the
138 issue of rxvt-unicode not properly displaying text after an illegal
139 sequence on NetBSD and probably other systems.
140 - more intelligent property handling with -pe tabbed, works around
141 broken window managers (kwm et al.), saves bandwidth and should
142 help working window managers as well.
143 - made tabs moveable (based on a patch by Petr Machata).
144 - implement ESC [ 3 K as a more rational alternative to ESC [ 0 K.
145 - support relative paths for RXVT_SOCKET in urxvtd.
146 - the tabbed extension now blindly copies over all (rxvt-) resources
147 from the toplevel window to the children.
148 - better diagnostic on 0x0 window geometries.
149 - update AnyEvent API to version 3.4 and above.
150 - document the default value of :0 for DISPLAY.
151 - rename perl method XChangeWindowProperty to XChangeProperty.
152
1539.02 Tue Jan 29 11:58:36 CET 2008
154 - the "exg makes everybody happy" release.
155 - fix build with !xft.
156 - always compile in plain style scrollbar (simplifies code and looks great).
157
1589.01 Sat Jan 26 20:49:27 CET 2008
159 - be more aggressive about handling X events, this seems to be required
160 with newer xlibs (should fix the "screen stays black until event is
161 received" problem, again :)
162 - add buffered resource to control xft double-buffering.
163
1649.0 Fri Jan 25 19:34:04 CET 2008
165 - fix a crash bug where urxvtd would crash when urxvtc was called
166 with wrong arguments (I wish debian maintainers in general would
167 report bugs and their proposed fixes to the original package maintainers
168 instead of sitting on them for good measure to see if anybody notices).
169 - drawing xft compose characters was causing garbage to be drawn.
170 - correctly clear xft character background in all cases.
171 - implement bracketed paste mode (xterm private mode 2004).
172 - improve documentation on alpha channel handling, make urxvt
173 work better on servers lacking the RENDER extension when alpha
174 channels or background images are used.
175 - check for refresh after initialising to avoid staying blank
176 till the first event arrives. or so.
177 - the FORCE_UNBUFFERED_XFT feature macro works again.
20 - continuously update transparency while moving/resizing now. 178 - continuously update transparency while moving/resizing now.
179 - OSC 39/49 are deprecated and aliased to OSC 10/11.
180 - cub1 now acts as advertised (and ignores the "wrapped" state).
181 - the 132/80 mode switch now forces a height of 24, too, and
182 resets the terminal.
21 - scrollbar code cleanups. 183 - scrollbar code cleanups.
184 - stopping children is no longer confused with children exiting.
185 - removed (undocumented) #aarrggbb format.
186 - updated to libev 3.0.
