25TODO: make fontCount dependent on ENABLE_256... in an INTELLIGENT way
26 - fix numlock handling (Emanuele Giaquinta).
27 - searchable-scrollback no longer ignores the first line
28 (Emanuele Giaquinta).
29 - add support for 256 colors.
30 - add support for grabbing the clipboard selection and extend
31 selection{_clear,_grab,} perl bindings to optionally work
32 on the clipboard selection (based on patch by Dana Jansens).
33 - extend ISO 14755 5.4 mode to also print the font name of the
34 characters other than first one in the selected cell
35 (Emanuele Giaquinta).
36 - make sure pagewise scrolling scrolls at least one line
37 (found by Mikachu).
38 - new on_bell perl hook (Emanuele Giaquinta).
39 - new iso14755 option to disable ISO 14755 at runtime
40 (Emanuele Giaquinta).

42
439.07 Wed Dec 30 07:07:18 CET 2009
44 - port to glibc-2.10 changes (strchr etc. returning const char *
45 in C++), based on patches by Milos Jakubicek and Oliver Mader.
46 - the binary search algorithm to find precomposed characters
47 was faulty, skipping some possible combinations (found by
48 Mikachu).
49 - new -letterspace option, patch by Mark H. Wilkinson.
50 - enable --mlock option for urxvt with frills on
51 systems supporting it (patch by Russell Harmon).
52 - urxvt did not compile without frills enabled
53 (analysed by Matthew Rosewarne).
54 - correctly reset the mbstate after an illegal
55 input sequence when handling terminal output (Emanuele Giaquinta).
56 - avoid redrawing wide characters with combining enabled on every
57 refresh (reported by Mikachu).
58 - fix a typo preventing the ISO-646.1991 character set from being
59 recognized (http://achurch.org/patch-pile/).
60 - better warning for x11 font encoding detection failures, also,
61 try to deduce encoding from both font properties and name
62 (adapted from http://achurch.org/patch-pile/).
63 - resizing the window with the scrollbar disabled via the escapes
64 sequence could make the window bigger again (Mikachu).
65 - make sure the alignment for fd passing control messages
66 is correct and work around some NetBSD issues (Taylor R Campbell).
67 - update to libptytty 1.3.
68 - replace macosx-pastebin by a nicer version by Reza Jelveh, and move
69 the old version to macosx-pastebin-native.
70 - document the -uc option (Emanuele Giaquinta).
71 - assertions in libev are now enabled depending on frills.
72 - update AnyEvent implementation to version 5.23 API.
73 - work around arrogant bsd idiocies again: netbsd spills the default
74 namespace with lots of symbols "for gnu/gcc compatibility" even
75 though neither of them does it, and then calls the rest of the world
76 in need of fixing. go figure.
77 - on_keyboard_command is on_user_command (patch by Michael Witten).
78 - setting the selection from perl will now reset the selection screen
79 to the current screen. the screen can be manipulated using
80 the new ->selection_screen method.
81 - implement --enable-assert configure option and get rid of DEBUG_STRICT
82 (based on patch by Emanuele Giaquinta).
83 - fix printpipe data output (patch by Emanuele Giaquinta).
84 - allow `xxx' quoting style for perl selection.
85 - upgrade to libev-3.9 prerelease.
86 - updated compose tables to unicode 5.2.0.
87
889.06 Sat Nov 8 17:47:18 CET 2008
89 - NOTICE: this release updates terminfo/termcap.
90 - updates libev to 3.48.
91 - the aterm code now frees the as visual and image manager objects
92 when a window was closed.
93 - do not (wrongly) adjust the virtual line length inside
94 scr_insdel_chars/ERASE (Miroslav Lichvar).
95 - fix an issue where wide tab characters caused character shifts
96 when part of them was deleted (tracked down by Miroslav Lichvar).
97 - artificially enlargen the previous character at the end of a line
98 when trying to output a character that doesn't fit. looks ugly, but
99 makes copy&paste work.
100 - remove bogus "setuid/setgid security issues" from rxvt.1.pod, they
101 no longer apply.
102 - the urgency hint is now cleared on both focus in and focus out.
103 - cache urgency hint locally to avoid server rtt on every focus change.
104 - perl 5.10 needs PERL_SYS_INIT3 on hppa.
105 - ignore byte-order marks and do not treat them like combining characters.
106 - fix build issue when CURSOR_BLINK is not defined (Emanuele Giaquinta).
107 - do some µ-optimisations to the character fast path.
108 - use a less cunning, but more robust algorithm to avoid one terminal
109 monopolising the whole process by outputting a lot of text.
110 - try to work around linux first breaking sched_yield and now breaking
111 the only known workaround.
112 - new option -icon to set _NET_WM_ICON (based on patch by Frank Schmitt).
113 - initialise the as visual only on demand, instead of unconditionally,
114 to save memory in the common case of not using visual gimmicks.
115 - try to work around bugs in a few wm's that erroneously resize
116 client windows on hint property updates by temporarily
117 disabling size hints.
118 - implement the DECSTR soft reset sequence and use it for tput init,
119 and make hard RIS and DECSTR both reset more private modes, such
120 as mouse reporting.
121 - redundantly clear mouse reporting and a few other states in
122 tput init/tput reset, for older urxvts.
123 - partial/full clear screens did cause flickering and possibly pixel
124 droppings when urxvt viewed the scrollback buffer.
125 - use current rendition style in DCH sequence.
126 - the 132/80 mode switch no longer forces a screen reset.
127 - add an osc sequence to change the border colour (Emanuele Giaquinta).
128 - new perl extension "overlay-osc", for status displays and the like.
129 - fix some minor cursor drawing issues with overlays by allowing
130 overlays to modify screen flags (to disable the cursor themselves).
131 - work around programs not restoring rstyle before rmcup
132 (analysed by Miroslav Lichvar).
133
1349.05 Sun Jun 15 20:09:20 CEST 2008
135 - new option --cd/chdir to set the starting working directory.
136 - tabbed extension now starts in the "correct" working directory.
137 - work around fedora 9 providing isastream but not the relevant
138 header file for it (report by Tuncer Ayaz).
139 - upgrade libev, fixing a bug in the select backend.
140 with more than 31 file descriptors on non-linux 64 bit systems.
141 - correctly reset the multibyte state to the initial one
142 after EILSEQ (patch by Neil Booth). This fixes the
143 issue of rxvt-unicode not properly displaying text after an illegal
144 sequence on NetBSD and probably other systems.
145 - more intelligent property handling with -pe tabbed, works around
146 broken window managers (kwm et al.), saves bandwidth and should
147 help working window managers as well.
148 - made tabs moveable (based on a patch by Petr Machata).
149 - implement ESC [ 3 K as a more rational alternative to ESC [ 0 K.
150 - support relative paths for RXVT_SOCKET in urxvtd.
151 - the tabbed extension now blindly copies over all (rxvt-) resources
152 from the toplevel window to the children.
153 - better diagnostic on 0x0 window geometries.
154 - update AnyEvent API to version 3.4 and above.
155 - document the default value of :0 for DISPLAY.
156 - rename perl method XChangeWindowProperty to XChangeProperty.
157
1589.02 Tue Jan 29 11:58:36 CET 2008
159 - the "exg makes everybody happy" release.
160 - fix build with !xft.
161 - always compile in plain style scrollbar (simplifies code and looks great).
162
1639.01 Sat Jan 26 20:49:27 CET 2008
164 - be more aggressive about handling X events, this seems to be required
165 with newer xlibs (should fix the "screen stays black until event is
166 received" problem, again :)
167 - add buffered resource to control xft double-buffering.
168
1699.0 Fri Jan 25 19:34:04 CET 2008
170 - fix a crash bug where urxvtd would crash when urxvtc was called
171 with wrong arguments (I wish debian maintainers in general would
172 report bugs and their proposed fixes to the original package maintainers
173 instead of sitting on them for good measure to see if anybody notices).
174 - drawing xft compose characters was causing garbage to be drawn.
175 - correctly clear xft character background in all cases.
176 - implement bracketed paste mode (xterm private mode 2004).
177 - improve documentation on alpha channel handling, make urxvt
178 work better on servers lacking the RENDER extension when alpha
179 channels or background images are used.
180 - check for refresh after initialising to avoid staying blank
181 till the first event arrives. or so.
182 - the FORCE_UNBUFFERED_XFT feature macro works again.
183 - continuously update transparency while moving/resizing now.
184 - OSC 39/49 are deprecated and aliased to OSC 10/11.
185 - cub1 now acts as advertised (and ignores the "wrapped" state).
186 - the 132/80 mode switch now forces a height of 24, too, and
187 resets the terminal.
188 - scrollbar code cleanups.
189 - stopping children is no longer confused with children exiting.
190 - removed (undocumented) #aarrggbb format.
191 - updated to libev 3.0.
192
1938.9 Mon Dec 24 07:51:40 CET 2007
194 - fix the issue where urxvtd would not immediately close a window
195 when the command exited but only on the next X event.
196 - changed terminfo file not to use application keypad mode.
197 - fix the issue where making a selection in one urxvtd window
198 would not clear it visually in another.
199 - fix an issue of urxvt not getting background pixmap updates
200 and flickering after bg pixmap changes (reported by Mikachu).
201 - fix redraw bug in xterm scrollbar with -sr (reported by Mikachu).
202 - correctly provide dependencies for libev (µikachu).
203 - minor code reorganisations and cleanups.
204 - be more robust in case the urxvt-popup extension cannot be loaded.
205
2068.8 Sat Dec 15 19:40:39 CET 2007
207 - option -C was aliased to all unsupported options, activating
208 options that shouldn't be compiled in, leading to interesting
209 effects.
210 - updated libev, working around a bug in linux 2.4, curing the
211 symptom of urxvt not closing its window on shell exit. also
212 fixes a problem with urxvt not refreshing.
213 - the text blink callback was called even when no blinking
214 text was visible.
215 - pre-8.4 slipwheeling behaviour has been reinstated, with
216 some minor improvements.
217 - streamlined x events processing to only flush once per
218 display and not once per terminal window.
219 - quite a bit of minor code cleanups and codesize optimisations.
220
2218.7 Sun Nov 25 10:23:49 CET 2007
222 - update libev with an important bugfix that would cause crashes
223 when closing windows (when using rxvtd, and update is recommended).
224 - do not compile in the block builtin graphics with --disable-frills.
225
2268.6 Fri Nov 23 14:10:57 CET 2007
227 - upgrade libev to disable kqueue on anything but netbsd as it
228 seems to be broken everywhere else w.r.t. ptys.
229 - allow for spurious event notifications, as at least epoll and
230 especially solaris ports like to lie about them (symptoms:
231 urxvt "hangs" until there is some x11 related activity).
232 - -keysym command line options are now subjected to xlib parsing.
233 - add 'xrm' option analogous to Xt one.
234
2358.5a Wed Nov 21 10:16:33 CET 2007
236 - make it compile with --disable-transparency.
237
2388.5 Wed Nov 21 05:19:20 CET 2007
239 - expect major portability issues in this release: please test and report.
240 - converted from the veritable io manager event loop to
241 the high performance libev (http://software.schmorp.de/pkg/libev).
242 - minor tuning to the perl selection (include single words and more quoting chars).
243 - fix memory leak in pixmap code.
22 - fix a serious bug while setting the XIM destroy callback 244 - fix a serious bug while setting the XIM destroy callback
23 on (typical) 64 bit systems. 245 on (typical) 64 bit systems.
246 - automove-background functionality re-implemented internally using :root op in pixmap
247 geometry string. For example: rxvt -pixmap "image.jpg;:root"
248 - do not link rxvtc against every lib on the planet anymore.
249 - parallel builds should work once more.
