77
789.07 Wed Dec 30 07:07:18 CET 2009

80 in C++), based on patches by Milos Jakubicek and Oliver Mader.
81 - the binary search algorithm to find precomposed characters
82 was faulty, skipping some possible combinations (found by
83 Mikachu).
84 - new -letterspace option, patch by Mark H. Wilkinson.
85 - enable --mlock option for urxvt with frills on
86 systems supporting it (patch by Russell Harmon).
87 - urxvt did not compile without frills enabled
88 (analysed by Matthew Rosewarne).
89 - correctly reset the mbstate after an illegal
90 input sequence when handling terminal output (Emanuele Giaquinta).

92 refresh (reported by Mikachu).
93 - fix a typo preventing the ISO-646.1991 character set from being
94 recognized (http://achurch.org/patch-pile/).
95 - better warning for x11 font encoding detection failures, also,
96 try to deduce encoding from both font properties and name
97 (adapted from http://achurch.org/patch-pile/).
98 - resizing the window with the scrollbar disabled via the escapes
99 sequence could make the window bigger again (Mikachu).
100 - make sure the alignment for fd passing control messages
101 is correct and work around some NetBSD issues (Taylor R Campbell).
102 - update to libptytty 1.3.
103 - replace macosx-clipboard by a nicer version by Reza Jelveh, and move
104 the old version to macosx-clipboard-native.
105 - document the -uc option (Emanuele Giaquinta).
106 - assertions in libev are now enabled depending on frills.
107 - update AnyEvent implementation to version 5.23 API.
108 - work around arrogant bsd idiocies again: netbsd spills the default
109 namespace with lots of symbols "for gnu/gcc compatibility" even
110 though neither of them does it, and then calls the rest of the world
111 in need of fixing. go figure.
112 - on_keyboard_command is on_user_command (patch by Michael Witten).
113 - setting the selection from perl will now reset the selection screen
114 to the current screen. the screen can be manipulated using
115 the new ->selection_screen method.

117 (based on patch by Emanuele Giaquinta).

124 - NOTICE: this release updates terminfo/termcap.
125 - updates libev to 3.48.
126 - the aterm code now frees the as visual and image manager objects
127 when a window was closed.
128 - do not (wrongly) adjust the virtual line length inside
129 scr_insdel_chars/ERASE (Miroslav Lichvar).
130 - fix an issue where wide tab characters caused character shifts
131 when part of them was deleted (tracked down by Miroslav Lichvar).
132 - artificially enlargen the previous character at the end of a line
133 when trying to output a character that doesn't fit. looks ugly, but
134 makes copy&paste work.
135 - remove bogus "setuid/setgid security issues" from rxvt.1.pod, they
136 no longer apply.
137 - the urgency hint is now cleared on both focus in and focus out.
138 - cache urgency hint locally to avoid server rtt on every focus change.
139 - perl 5.10 needs PERL_SYS_INIT3 on hppa.
140 - ignore byte-order marks and do not treat them like combining characters.
141 - fix build issue when CURSOR_BLINK is not defined (Emanuele Giaquinta).
142 - do some µ-optimisations to the character fast path.
143 - use a less cunning, but more robust algorithm to avoid one terminal
144 monopolising the whole process by outputting a lot of text.
145 - try to work around linux first breaking sched_yield and now breaking
146 the only known workaround.
147 - new option -icon to set _NET_WM_ICON (based on patch by Frank Schmitt).
148 - initialise the as visual only on demand, instead of unconditionally,
149 to save memory in the common case of not using visual gimmicks.
150 - try to work around bugs in a few wm's that erroneously resize
151 client windows on hint property updates by temporarily
152 disabling size hints.
153 - implement the DECSTR soft reset sequence and use it for tput init,
154 and make hard RIS and DECSTR both reset more private modes, such
155 as mouse reporting.
156 - redundantly clear mouse reporting and a few other states in
157 tput init/tput reset, for older urxvts.
158 - partial/full clear screens did cause flickering and possibly pixel
159 droppings when urxvt viewed the scrollback buffer.
160 - use current rendition style in DCH sequence.
161 - the 132/80 mode switch no longer forces a screen reset.
162 - add an osc sequence to change the border colour (Emanuele Giaquinta).
163 - new perl extension "overlay-osc", for status displays and the like.
164 - fix some minor cursor drawing issues with overlays by allowing
165 overlays to modify screen flags (to disable the cursor themselves).
166 - work around programs not restoring rstyle before rmcup
167 (analysed by Miroslav Lichvar).
168
1699.05 Sun Jun 15 20:09:20 CEST 2008
170 - new option --cd/chdir to set the starting working directory.

173 header file for it (report by Tuncer Ayaz).

175 with more than 31 file descriptors on non-linux 64 bit systems.
176 - correctly reset the multibyte state to the initial one
177 after EILSEQ (patch by Neil Booth). This fixes the
178 issue of rxvt-unicode not properly displaying text after an illegal
179 sequence on NetBSD and probably other systems.
180 - more intelligent property handling with -pe tabbed, works around
181 broken window managers (kwm et al.), saves bandwidth and should
182 help working window managers as well.
183 - made tabs moveable (based on a patch by Petr Machata).
184 - implement ESC [ 3 K as a more rational alternative to ESC [ 0 K.
185 - support relative paths for RXVT_SOCKET in urxvtd.
186 - the tabbed extension now blindly copies over all (rxvt-) resources
187 from the toplevel window to the children.

190 - document the default value of :0 for DISPLAY.

194 - the "exg makes everybody happy" release.
195 - fix build with !xft.
196 - always compile in plain style scrollbar (simplifies code and looks great).
197
1989.01 Sat Jan 26 20:49:27 CET 2008
199 - be more aggressive about handling X events, this seems to be required
200 with newer xlibs (should fix the "screen stays black until event is
201 received" problem, again :)
202 - add buffered resource to control xft double-buffering.
203
2049.0 Fri Jan 25 19:34:04 CET 2008
205 - fix a crash bug where urxvtd would crash when urxvtc was called
206 with wrong arguments (I wish debian maintainers in general would
207 report bugs and their proposed fixes to the original package maintainers
208 instead of sitting on them for good measure to see if anybody notices).
209 - drawing xft compose characters was causing garbage to be drawn.
210 - correctly clear xft character background in all cases.
211 - implement bracketed paste mode (xterm private mode 2004).
212 - improve documentation on alpha channel handling, make urxvt
213 work better on servers lacking the RENDER extension when alpha
214 channels or background images are used.
215 - check for refresh after initialising to avoid staying blank
216 till the first event arrives. or so.
217 - the FORCE_UNBUFFERED_XFT feature macro works again.
218 - continuously update transparency while moving/resizing now.
219 - OSC 39/49 are deprecated and aliased to OSC 10/11.
220 - cub1 now acts as advertised (and ignores the "wrapped" state).
221 - the 132/80 mode switch now forces a height of 24, too, and
222 resets the terminal.
223 - scrollbar code cleanups.
224 - stopping children is no longer confused with children exiting.
225 - removed (undocumented) #aarrggbb format.
226 - updated to libev 3.0.
227
2288.9 Mon Dec 24 07:51:40 CET 2007
20 - fix the issue where urxvtd would not immediately close a window 229 - fix the issue where urxvtd would not immediately close a window
21 when the command exited but only on the next X event. 230 when the command exited but only on the next X event.
22 - changed terminfo file not to use application keypad mode. 231 - changed terminfo file not to use application keypad mode.
232 - fix the issue where making a selection in one urxvtd window
233 would not clear it visually in another.
234 - fix an issue of urxvt not getting background pixmap updates
235 and flickering after bg pixmap changes (reported by Mikachu).
23 - fix redraw bug in xterm scrollbar with -sr (reported by Mikachu). 236 - fix redraw bug in xterm scrollbar with -sr (reported by Mikachu).
24 - correctly provide dependencies for libev (µikachu). 237 - correctly provide dependencies for libev (µikachu).
238 - minor code reorganisations and cleanups.
239 - be more robust in case the urxvt-popup extension cannot be loaded.
