3TODO: move pty/tty handling into a fork'ed server and drop all privs 3TODO: xcopyarea pass broken, fix and improve
4TODO: harmonize --disable-options into position-dependent options. 4TODO: event mechanism that replaces on_user_command with something more scalable.
5TODO: after requesting the selection and getting a timeout, no further requests will be sent. 5TODO: slipwheeling needs a keyboard grab to get key release events.
6TODO: overlays collide with the way the out-of-focus cursor is being drawn
6TODO: "slow" rendering mode for bidi and scripts 7TODO: "slow" rendering mode for bidi and scripts, pango!
7TODO: read property sequence is broken with respect to utf-8 etc. 8TODO: read property sequence is broken with respect to utf-8 etc.
8TODO: http://www120.pair.com/mccarthy/nextstep/intro.htmld/Workspace.html is the correct nextstep look. 9TODO: slow drag selection on remote display - other things seem fast (rxvt illness, motion hints?)
9TODO: clarify and get rid of SMOOTH_REFRESH etc. 10TODO: better resource handling for tabbar in -pe tabbed.
10WISH: OnTheSpot editing, or maybe switch to miiiiiiif. or maybe use perl and an overlay... 11WISH: investigate -pe tabbed -g 80x25 being 23 not 24 or 25 lines
11WISH: just for fun, do shade and tint with XRender. 12 => when setting the constraints, the wm might (correctly)
13 resize the outer window, which might result in a smaller window overall.
14 or something like that. guys, send me a patch.
15WISH: coloured pastebin
16WISH: load system-wide config file even if we don't have one
17WISH: look into XAddConnectionWatch, does anybody need that?
12WISH: support tex fonts 18DUMB: support tex fonts
19TODO: perl-shell-window? perl-unix-socket?
20TODO: command line editing when icanon?

36 - Use COMPOUND_TEXT encoding for WM_NAME/WM_ICON_NAME value when it
37 is not fully convertible to STRING (patch by James Cloos).
38 - fix a buffer overflow that would cause wrong key sequences to
39 be generated for numpad keys (introduced in 9.05).
40 - fix definition of sgr0 to work around limitations in luit.
41 - extend ISO 14755 5.4 mode to also print the font name of the
42 characters other than first one in the selected cell
43 (Emanuele Giaquinta).
44 - new iso14755 option to disable ISO 14755 at runtime
45 (Emanuele Giaquinta).

50 - add highlightTextColor resource to change the foreground colour of
51 highlighted characters (Emanuele Giaquinta).
52 - make highlightColor apply also to selected cells with reverse video
53 but not to non selected cells with reverse video (Emanuele Giaquinta).

62 - actually added macosx-clipboard-native, which should have been in
63 the 9.07 release but had been forgotten.
64 - fix hang if DECAWM is not set and there are not enough columns to insert a
65 character (Emanuele Giaquinta).
66 - cub1 ("backspace") will now respect wrapping when past the rightmost column,
67 working around a shortcoming of most tty line discipline's line editing.
68 - add support for grabbing the clipboard selection and extend
69 selection{_clear,_grab,} perl bindings to optionally work
70 on the clipboard selection (based on patch by Dana Jansens).
71 - no longer force CERASE to BACKSPACE - use the system default. affects

80
819.07 Wed Dec 30 07:07:18 CET 2009
82 - port to glibc-2.10 changes (strchr etc. returning const char *
83 in C++), based on patches by Milos Jakubicek and Oliver Mader.
84 - the binary search algorithm to find precomposed characters
85 was faulty, skipping some possible combinations (found by
86 Mikachu).
87 - new -letterspace option, patch by Mark H. Wilkinson.
88 - enable --mlock option for urxvt with frills on
89 systems supporting it (patch by Russell Harmon).
90 - urxvt did not compile without frills enabled
91 (analysed by Matthew Rosewarne).
92 - correctly reset the mbstate after an illegal
93 input sequence when handling terminal output (Emanuele Giaquinta).
94 - avoid redrawing wide characters with combining enabled on every
95 refresh (reported by Mikachu).
96 - fix a typo preventing the ISO-646.1991 character set from being
97 recognized (http://achurch.org/patch-pile/).
98 - better warning for x11 font encoding detection failures, also,
99 try to deduce encoding from both font properties and name
100 (adapted from http://achurch.org/patch-pile/).
101 - resizing the window with the scrollbar disabled via the escapes
102 sequence could make the window bigger again (Mikachu).
103 - make sure the alignment for fd passing control messages
104 is correct and work around some NetBSD issues (Taylor R Campbell).
105 - update to libptytty 1.3.
106 - replace macosx-clipboard by a nicer version by Reza Jelveh, and move
107 the old version to macosx-clipboard-native.
108 - document the -uc option (Emanuele Giaquinta).
109 - assertions in libev are now enabled depending on frills.
110 - update AnyEvent implementation to version 5.23 API.
111 - work around arrogant bsd idiocies again: netbsd spills the default
112 namespace with lots of symbols "for gnu/gcc compatibility" even
113 though neither of them does it, and then calls the rest of the world
114 in need of fixing. go figure.
115 - on_keyboard_command is on_user_command (patch by Michael Witten).
116 - setting the selection from perl will now reset the selection screen
117 to the current screen. the screen can be manipulated using
118 the new ->selection_screen method.
119 - implement --enable-assert configure option and get rid of DEBUG_STRICT
120 (based on patch by Emanuele Giaquinta).

125
1269.06 Sat Nov 8 17:47:18 CET 2008
127 - NOTICE: this release updates terminfo/termcap.
128 - updates libev to 3.48.
129 - the aterm code now frees the as visual and image manager objects
130 when a window was closed.
131 - do not (wrongly) adjust the virtual line length inside
132 scr_insdel_chars/ERASE (Miroslav Lichvar).
133 - fix an issue where wide tab characters caused character shifts
134 when part of them was deleted (tracked down by Miroslav Lichvar).
135 - artificially enlargen the previous character at the end of a line
136 when trying to output a character that doesn't fit. looks ugly, but
137 makes copy&paste work.
138 - remove bogus "setuid/setgid security issues" from rxvt.1.pod, they
139 no longer apply.
140 - the urgency hint is now cleared on both focus in and focus out.
141 - cache urgency hint locally to avoid server rtt on every focus change.
142 - perl 5.10 needs PERL_SYS_INIT3 on hppa.
143 - ignore byte-order marks and do not treat them like combining characters.
144 - fix build issue when CURSOR_BLINK is not defined (Emanuele Giaquinta).
145 - do some µ-optimisations to the character fast path.
146 - use a less cunning, but more robust algorithm to avoid one terminal
147 monopolising the whole process by outputting a lot of text.
148 - try to work around linux first breaking sched_yield and now breaking
149 the only known workaround.
150 - new option -icon to set _NET_WM_ICON (based on patch by Frank Schmitt).
151 - initialise the as visual only on demand, instead of unconditionally,
152 to save memory in the common case of not using visual gimmicks.
153 - try to work around bugs in a few wm's that erroneously resize
154 client windows on hint property updates by temporarily
155 disabling size hints.
156 - implement the DECSTR soft reset sequence and use it for tput init,
157 and make hard RIS and DECSTR both reset more private modes, such
158 as mouse reporting.
159 - redundantly clear mouse reporting and a few other states in
160 tput init/tput reset, for older urxvts.
161 - partial/full clear screens did cause flickering and possibly pixel
162 droppings when urxvt viewed the scrollback buffer.
163 - use current rendition style in DCH sequence.
164 - the 132/80 mode switch no longer forces a screen reset.
165 - add an osc sequence to change the border colour (Emanuele Giaquinta).
166 - new perl extension "overlay-osc", for status displays and the like.
167 - fix some minor cursor drawing issues with overlays by allowing
168 overlays to modify screen flags (to disable the cursor themselves).
169 - work around programs not restoring rstyle before rmcup
170 (analysed by Miroslav Lichvar).
171
1729.05 Sun Jun 15 20:09:20 CEST 2008
173 - new option --cd/chdir to set the starting working directory.
174 - tabbed extension now starts in the "correct" working directory.
175 - work around fedora 9 providing isastream but not the relevant
176 header file for it (report by Tuncer Ayaz).
177 - upgrade libev, fixing a bug in the select backend.
178 with more than 31 file descriptors on non-linux 64 bit systems.
179 - correctly reset the multibyte state to the initial one
180 after EILSEQ (patch by Neil Booth). This fixes the
181 issue of rxvt-unicode not properly displaying text after an illegal
182 sequence on NetBSD and probably other systems.
183 - more intelligent property handling with -pe tabbed, works around
184 broken window managers (kwm et al.), saves bandwidth and should
185 help working window managers as well.
186 - made tabs moveable (based on a patch by Petr Machata).
187 - implement ESC [ 3 K as a more rational alternative to ESC [ 0 K.
188 - support relative paths for RXVT_SOCKET in urxvtd.
189 - the tabbed extension now blindly copies over all (rxvt-) resources
190 from the toplevel window to the children.
191 - better diagnostic on 0x0 window geometries.
192 - update AnyEvent API to version 3.4 and above.
193 - document the default value of :0 for DISPLAY.
194 - rename perl method XChangeWindowProperty to XChangeProperty.
195
1969.02 Tue Jan 29 11:58:36 CET 2008
197 - the "exg makes everybody happy" release.
198 - fix build with !xft.
199 - always compile in plain style scrollbar (simplifies code and looks great).
200
2019.01 Sat Jan 26 20:49:27 CET 2008
202 - be more aggressive about handling X events, this seems to be required
203 with newer xlibs (should fix the "screen stays black until event is
204 received" problem, again :)
205 - add buffered resource to control xft double-buffering.
206
2079.0 Fri Jan 25 19:34:04 CET 2008
208 - fix a crash bug where urxvtd would crash when urxvtc was called
209 with wrong arguments (I wish debian maintainers in general would
210 report bugs and their proposed fixes to the original package maintainers
211 instead of sitting on them for good measure to see if anybody notices).
212 - drawing xft compose characters was causing garbage to be drawn.
213 - correctly clear xft character background in all cases.
214 - implement bracketed paste mode (xterm private mode 2004).
215 - improve documentation on alpha channel handling, make urxvt
216 work better on servers lacking the RENDER extension when alpha
217 channels or background images are used.
218 - check for refresh after initialising to avoid staying blank
219 till the first event arrives. or so.
220 - the FORCE_UNBUFFERED_XFT feature macro works again.
221 - continuously update transparency while moving/resizing now.
222 - OSC 39/49 are deprecated and aliased to OSC 10/11.
223 - cub1 now acts as advertised (and ignores the "wrapped" state).
224 - the 132/80 mode switch now forces a height of 24, too, and
225 resets the terminal.
226 - scrollbar code cleanups.
227 - stopping children is no longer confused with children exiting.
228 - removed (undocumented) #aarrggbb format.
229 - updated to libev 3.0.
230
2318.9 Mon Dec 24 07:51:40 CET 2007
232 - fix the issue where urxvtd would not immediately close a window
233 when the command exited but only on the next X event.
234 - changed terminfo file not to use application keypad mode.
235 - fix the issue where making a selection in one urxvtd window
236 would not clear it visually in another.
237 - fix an issue of urxvt not getting background pixmap updates
238 and flickering after bg pixmap changes (reported by Mikachu).
239 - fix redraw bug in xterm scrollbar with -sr (reported by Mikachu).
240 - correctly provide dependencies for libev (µikachu).
241 - minor code reorganisations and cleanups.
242 - be more robust in case the urxvt-popup extension cannot be loaded.
243
2448.8 Sat Dec 15 19:40:39 CET 2007
245 - option -C was aliased to all unsupported options, activating
246 options that shouldn't be compiled in, leading to interesting
247 effects.
248 - updated libev, working around a bug in linux 2.4, curing the
249 symptom of urxvt not closing its window on shell exit. also
250 fixes a problem with urxvt not refreshing.
251 - the text blink callback was called even when no blinking
252 text was visible.
253 - pre-8.4 slipwheeling behaviour has been reinstated, with
254 some minor improvements.
255 - streamlined x events processing to only flush once per
256 display and not once per terminal window.
257 - quite a bit of minor code cleanups and codesize optimisations.
258
2598.7 Sun Nov 25 10:23:49 CET 2007
260 - update libev with an important bugfix that would cause crashes
261 when closing windows (when using rxvtd, and update is recommended).
262 - do not compile in the block builtin graphics with --disable-frills.
263
2648.6 Fri Nov 23 14:10:57 CET 2007
265 - upgrade libev to disable kqueue on anything but netbsd as it
266 seems to be broken everywhere else w.r.t. ptys.
267 - allow for spurious event notifications, as at least epoll and
268 especially solaris ports like to lie about them (symptoms:
269 urxvt "hangs" until there is some x11 related activity).
270 - -keysym command line options are now subjected to xlib parsing.
271 - add 'xrm' option analogous to Xt one.
272
2738.5a Wed Nov 21 10:16:33 CET 2007
274 - make it compile with --disable-transparency.
275
2768.5 Wed Nov 21 05:19:20 CET 2007
277 - expect major portability issues in this release: please test and report.
278 - converted from the veritable io manager event loop to
279 the high performance libev (http://software.schmorp.de/pkg/libev).
280 - minor tuning to the perl selection (include single words and more quoting chars).
281 - fix memory leak in pixmap code.
282 - fix a serious bug while setting the XIM destroy callback
283 on (typical) 64 bit systems.
284 - automove-background functionality re-implemented internally using :root op in pixmap
285 geometry string. For example: rxvt -pixmap "image.jpg;:root"
286 - do not link rxvtc against every lib on the planet anymore.
287 - parallel builds should work once more.
288
2898.4 Sat Oct 27 14:02:13 CEST 2007
290 - overhaul of the transparency/pixmap code (sasha).
291 - fix possible race between visual bell and poweron.
292 (reported by Martin von Gagern, gentoo?).
293 - urxvt -e no longer crashes the child.
294 - fixed some minor memleaks on incorrect usage or
295 missing DISPLAY.
296 - implement xterm 1002/1003 mouse tracking modes (exg).
297 - source code organisational cleanups (exg).
298 - updated io_manager.
299
3008.3 Wed Aug 1 20:21:31 CEST 2007
301 - new option: skipScroll/-ss, enabled by default.
302 - go with the times and expect x11 library files in /usr/lib, not
303 /usr/X11R6/lib.
304 - initial transparency improvement/afterimage support
305 patch by Sasha Vasko.
306 - add urgentOnBell resource to set the urgency hint
307 (patch by Philip Paeps).
308 - do not process focus events caused by grabs
309 (patch by Mikachu).
310 - add iso14755_52 resource to disable iso14755 5.2 (exg).
311 - add binding for backspace in iso14755 5.1 to remove the last
312 digit (exg).
313 - better option handling, support more than 30 options (exg).
314 - nuke reconf script, serves no purpose anymore.
315 - fixed and documented matcher/on_user_command processing in matcher
316 extension (tpope).
317 - compile out of the box on Solaris 10 (exg).
318 - fix MappingNotify events (reported by Stephan Walter).
319 - zero-initialise mwmhints, this seems to solve all sorts of minor
320 problems.
321
3228.2 Sat Feb 17 21:35:28 CET 2007
323 - fix make depend in src/, reported by exg.
324 - fixed typo in urxvt::GET_CUSTOM, causing the result to be wrong.
325 (patch by Sergey Vlasov).
326 - unbundled iom perl interface somewhat.
327 - scrollbar-xterm now uses the selected scrollColor instead of fg
328 (found by Aiviru).
329 - disabled linux kernel bug workaround again: disabling it gives
330 a 50% speed hit on affected machines, while enabling it gives
331 a similar speed hit to screen, which is likely the more common
332 case to work around for :/
333 - urxvt::rend2mask perl function, and utilization of it by matcher
334 (patch by Moshe Kamensky).
335 - use perl:matcher on a keysym to open most recently displayed URL.
336 - with matcher, when multiple patterns match, last wins, not first.
337 - fix make and make install with srcdir != builddir (exg).
338 - updated bundled libptytty to fix a bug where the tty would be kept
339 open (see the libptytty ChangeLog for details).
340 - delay setting the IUTF8 flag to after the tty settings have been
341 set so its value does not get lost (reported and analysed by Andrei
342 Paskevich).
343 - rip out support for obsolete sgtty.h interface.
344 - rip out support for non-POSIX termios variants.
345 - update libptytty.
346 - update iom.C, make it call ptytty::sanitise_stdfd on init.
347 - when !XFT, change rounding of colours to use a less correct formula to
348 meet user expectancies (#aaa becomes #a000a000a000 not #9f9f9f9f9f9f).
349 - change the starting offset of the pixmap set with backgroundPixmap
350 from (50,50) to (0,0) (exg).
351 - fix a typo in button_release, now meta-button2 request the value of
352 the Clipboard selection as it should (patch by Serge Koksharov).
353 - fix a bug in drawing a cell with a nonspacing char when using an xft
354 font with inheritPixmap and tintColor (exg).
355
3568.1 Thu Dec 7 22:27:25 CET 2006
357 - ケリスマスプレゼント - zomg!!1, it's too early!!!
358 - fix the assumption that chars < 256 are single-width. Now
359 only assume this for codepoints 32 to 126 (reported by Dai.H.).
360 - $term->strwidth returned wide chars as width 1, because some jerk
361 confused min and max. Fixing this also fixes xim-onthespot.
362 Reported by Takano Akio.
363 - secondaryScroll is now enabled by default (as per the manpage),
364 reported by exg.
365 - correct the description of [percent]color rgba format in the manpage.
366 - incorporated macosx-clipboard extension by Samuel Ljungkvist.
367 - ignore (some) useless focus events (reported by mmc).
368 - updated compose table to unicode 5.0.0.
369
3708.0 Thu Nov 2 18:35:19 CET 2006
371 - combining characters cleared the area instead of creating an overlay,
372 thus losing the ability to draw combining characters properly in most
373 circumstances (reported by exg).
374 - specified fonts were incorrectly morphed to bold/italic according to the
375 basefont, even if explicitly specified (tracked down by tpope).
376 - fixed urxvt::strwidth to calculate width in the same way as screen.C.
377 - fix a crash caused by passing negative widths to overlay functions.
378 - added 'matcher' extension by tpope, replacing the mark-urls extension.
379 - improve url regex to match anything www.* (tpope).
380 - fixed bug with outline cursor color being wrong after xft fonts.
381 - update to libptytty-1.0.
382 - give proper diagnostic when RXVT_SOCKET is too long instead of
383 corrupting the stack (patch by exg).
384 - display current terminal locale in option menu.
385 - urxvtd no longer crashes when the client sends an inaccessible
386 working directory (reported by Roland Baer, possibly fixes gentoo
387 bug #143985).
388 - fixed many minor issues reported by Roland Baer.
389 - Leonid Khramov spotted a minor glitch in rxvtfont.C that
390 should not have any consequences, but was buggy nonetheless.
391 - manpage fix by exg.
392
3937.9 Mon Aug 7 18:16:07 CEST 2006
394 - fix the crashing bug people encountered with 7.8 + urxvtd + perl
395 + transparency. Ought to fix debian bug #380348.
396 - fix urxvtc.1.pod: it actually claimed -pty-fd would not work. But
397 it does! :->
398 - rxvt_fatal() in case the locale string is too long for our static buffer.
399 - fixed many, many, typos in the manpages (patch supplied by ves).
400
4017.8 Mon Jul 17 21:00:46 CEST 2006
402 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: this version will always read ~/.Xdefaults,
403 earlier versions only read it if display-resources (usually from
404 .Xresources) are not set. This avoids the #1 FAQ ("why isn't my
405 resource used") and seems to be logical behaviour, too. .Xdefaults
406 resources have a lower priority than display-specific resources.
407 - add "kuake" perl extension that does a similar thing to the kuake
408 terminal emulator (see man urxvtperl).
409 - use less "correct" color scaling that is compatible with libX11 and
410 Xft (avoids off-by-one colors resulting in striped backgrounds).
411 - the "depth" resource is now respected.
412 - preset the searchable-scrollback pattern with "(?i)" to default search
413 to case-insensitivity. Will automatically be cleared when typing an
414 uppercase character.
415 - add FORCE_UNBUFFERED_XFT define to features.h.
416 - re-enabled highlightcolor support with --enable-frills, based on
417 a patch by Martin Stubenschrott.
418 - double-buffered xft drawing did suffer from pixel offset issues
419 when pixmap transparency was enabled.
420 - strategically add # to the url-match regexes, as we really want to
421 match common URIs not common URLs. Reported by Aaron Griffin.
422 - moved on_osc_seq to on_osc_seq_perl and added a more
423 generic osc_seq.
424 - fix a bug causing double callback invocations when perl hooks
425 were invoked recursively.
426 - the automove-background extension now properly works when the
427 pixmap gets reset with an osc sequence (sqweek).
428 - selection-pastebin did not work properly with non-latin1-characters.
429 - apply colorUL only when the text colour is the default fg
430 (patch by Wu Fengguang).
431 - removed rxvtlib.h from the tarball, it had no reason to be there
432 (spotted by Decklin Foster).
433 - fix compiling with TRANSPARENT but !XPM_BACKGROUND, as reported
434 by omatunto_.
435 - slap in a using namespace std, might help on platforms that don't
436 follow C++ closely enough.
437 - fix mailto url regex, spotted within milliseconds by Jost Krieger.
438 - applied fade_color_update_func.patch by WU Fengguang.
439 - fix a bug where (due to an optimisation in av_delete), hiding the
440 bottom-most overlay would hide two overlays.
441
4427.7 Tue Feb 21 12:32:49 CET 2006
443 - use double-buffered drawing (xft fonts only). On many driver/hardware
444 combination this actually increases xft drawing speed, at the expense
445 of more network bandwidth and slight nausea on the side of the author.
446 - readline perl extension now requires shift-click instead of a normal
447 click, and eats the click.
448 - tabbed perl extension now supports -e.
449 - disabled graphics-exposures on the main drawing GC, report any
450 refresh bugs please.
451 - improve property handling for -pe tabbed: avoid unnecessary property
452 changes (for kde's benefit) at the expense of extra round-trips,
453 improve size hint setting.
454 - modified XIM according to a patch sent by Takano Akio that sets
455 the preedit rectangle for OverTheSpot, which helps some input methods
456 to correctly position their preedit window.
457 - un-optimise the line clearing on newly scrolled-in lines a bit: the
458 former reasoning was that any fg colour on default bg looks the same
459 in empty spaces, but that's not true when reversing (e.g. selection),
460 so also check for matching fg colours. This fixes the problem where
461 selecting newly scrolled-in lines would exhibit wrong colours.
462 - fix a bug in the perl interface causing focus in events to generate
463 focus out perl events, causing bad focus effects with -pe tabbed.
464 - fix a race resulting in a crash on exiting.
465 - fix a with --disable-xft that caused xfreecolors to be called on
466 colors never allocated, resulting in aborts (reported by Paco-Paco).
467 - resources on non-initial screens weren't refetched correctly
468 (reported by Paco-Paco).
469 - fix a bug in xcopyarea pass and _disable_ it, as it seems not to be
470 working in either rxvt-unicode nor in the original rxvt.
471 - removed undocumented -exec alias for the -e option.
472
4737.6 Fri Feb 10 08:52:36 CET 2006
474 - changed interpretation of [alpha] colour prefix.
475 - +option now really sets the option to default, instead of using the
476 resource value.
477 - options that require an argument now really _require_ an argument.
478 - the tabbed extension now forwards focus and key events to the
479 relevant tab window.
480 - tab colours are now configurable and have sensible defaults
481 (initial patch by hednod).
482 - option menu is extendable, readline, selection and
483 selection-autotransform can now be disabled/enabled at runtime.
484 - forcing a configure event to tabbed subwindows with -pe tabbed, for
485 the benefit of automove-background.
486 - the automove-background extension added a wrong constant offset.
487 - force refresh of XA_RESOURCE_STRING on virtual reconnect.
488 - return exit status 2 in urxvtc when urxvtd couldn't be contacted.
489 - the linux yield hack is back, now using usleep, and enabled only on
490 __linux__.
491 - further round trip eliminations in the !XFT case by remembering
492 the colour components.
493 - plain scrollbar works better with -sr.
494 - fixed half-shadow scrollbar look.
495 - more colour rtt optimisations.
496 - properly(?) free colours on window close.
497 - reorganised the FAQ into multiple sections.
498 - add ISO646.1991-IRV to the list of supported codesets.
499 - minor libptytty update.
500
5017.5 Tue Jan 31 15:15:43 CET 2006
502 - further improvements to the careful mode detection, and font width
503 detection:
504 - fully double-wide fonts will now be correctly treated,
505 - overlap detection was improved.
506 - detect totally broken fonts (usually synthesized by xft).
507 - careful mode forced refresh sometimes clashed with blinking,
508 causing unnecessary screen redraws.
509 - better handling of XFT combining characters.
510 - enable antialiasing for some replacement fonts, as they
511 might get used for other encodings which really need it, later.
512 - remove spacing=100 from all default fonts, as this creates totally
513 weird spacing (5 times normal) with xft.
514 - removed iso10646 fallback, as xorgs iso10646 encoded fonts are mostly
515 broken.
516 - removed gnu unifont fallback, all combining characters are broken.
517 - replace named colours by xorg's rgb.txt equivalents, to
518 reduce round trip time on startup, and short-cut allocation
519 of rgb:rr/gg/bb for xft.
520 - short-cut allocation of rgb values in the xlib case
521 (patch by Paco-Paco).
522 - overhauled color management: smaller codesize, alpha support.
523 - support "rgba:rrrr/gggg/bbbb/aaaa" color specifications and
524 an "[alpha]" prefix.
525 - try to work around Xft and Xrender forcing everything to be 100%
526 transparent. Long Live Xft!
527 - do not include X11/Intrinsic.h anymore, directly use
528 Xlib/Xutil/Xresource directly.
529 - try to find a nearest matching color when color allocation fails
530 on a pseudocolor screen.
531 - SYNCCVS: compared to rxvt-cvs 2006-01-28, no relevant changes.
532 - fix version report (DA) (which was unfortunately broken).
533 - changed version number report again, now to emulate xterm closer.
534 - added the OSC sequence 702 to detect the urxvt version number.
535 - small configure updates.
536 - further RTT optimisations.
537 - backported clean-up patches for makefiles and documentation from
538 the debian package.
539 - updated doc/rxvt-unicode.spec file. It's still not maintained here,
540 but much newer than the old one.
541
5427.4 Sat Jan 28 15:26:27 CET 2006
543 - screen background wasn't always erased properly when scrolling,
544 - re-enabled clearing optimisation disabled in 7.4pre.
545 - small configure updates for libptytty.
546 - fixed version options: line output.
547 - removed stoopid debugging message left in the code.
548
5497.3 Wed Jan 25 22:47:35 CET 2006
550 - don't let iso14755 or mouse reporting get into the way of perl
551 (could lead to global grabs never being cleared).
552 - experimental OnTheSpot editing support (-pe xim-onthespot).
553 - moved Shift-Button2 paste combination to Meta-Button2.
554 - the cutchars resource will now be respected and used by the
555 selection extension.
556 - added the "remote-clipboard" extension which just runs external
557 commands to fetch and store the selection data.
558 - added -depth switch that tries to get a different visual depth
559 than the default (replaces the old PREFER_24_BIT logic).
560 - removed (unused) arabic presentation form composing sequences.
561 - be more strict when deciding that a core font glyph is too wide and
562 needs the careful rendering mode.
563 - allow more leeway for italic fonts when deciding that a character is
564 too wide and needs careful mode.
565 - redraw even more characters around characters using careful mode.
566 - made selection-pastebin fully asynchronous.
567 - reduced number of server turnarounds at startup by allocating
568 atoms only once per display.
569 - renamed on_keyboard_command to on_user_command.
570 - changed version sos (ESC [ > c) response to be more compatible with
571 xterm.
572
5737.2 Sun Jan 22 21:58:16 CET 2006
574 - bugfix: urxvt (not urxvtd) did not correctly handle multiple
575 environments necessary, which resulted in segfaults within
576 getenv (reproducable: urxvt -fn 9x15, open a menu once,
577 ctrl-shift-672c).
578 - bugfix: the selection speedup in in 7.1 unfortunately caused
579 non-ascii characters to enlarge/move the selection.
580 - bugfix: resizing sometimes leaked lines from the secondary to
581 the primary screen.
582 - bugfix: reducing window size while large amounts of text were output
583 could lead to an assertion failure.
584 - added "tabbed" extension that provides a crude tabbed terminal.
585 - added "readline" extension that allows cursor positioning
586 via mouse clicks.
587 - now it is possible to insert the value of the CLIPBOARD selection
588 with shift - mouse button 2.
589 - fixed the automove-background extension to ignore coordinates
590 in non-synthetic events.
591 - created a separate libpty for portable and secure
592 pty/tty/utmp/wtmp/lastlog handling, and include it in rxvt-unicode.
593 - the non-terminfo visual bell now works asynchronously, so
594 continuous ASCI BELs in one terminal do no longer monopolise the
595 whole urxvt[d] process.
596 - support some *BSD makes (for the time being, gnu make is a safe bet).
597 - work around bugs in FreeBSD's gcc.
598 - implemented some *BSD fixes in configure.
599 - removed support for obsolete offix dnd protocol.
600
6017.1 Thu Jan 19 20:25:34 CET 2006
602 - setuid/setgid operation is now _encouraged_: security has been
603 improved by moving privileged operations into a separate process
604 and permanently dropping privileges within the terminal. This
605 makes it possible to remove security checks from the perl code
606 and gives a much safer feeling when urxvt needs to run with
607 special privileges.
608 - perl taint checking disabled, as urxvt no longer runs setuid/setgid
609 itself.
610 - new perl extension automove-background that can be used to get
611 the same effect as pseudo-transparency with any pixmap.
612 - new perl extension example: perl/selection-pastebin, can be used to
613 e.g. upload the selection to a webserver and generate a url, or
614 similar stuff.
615 - use the scrollback buffer even when the scroll region doesn't
616 span the whole screen, as long as it starts at row 0. Helps
617 for programs displaying a status line at the bottom.
618 - selection popup now shows selection in dec/hex/oct.
619 - perl/selection: matching on unicode characters in the selection
620 code was O(n²), which equals infinity in some degenerate cases
621 :-> Matching is now done on UTF-8, which makes it almost instant.
622 - perl/selection, perl/selection-autotransform: regexes are now
623 being interpreted in the locale urxvt was started.
624 - implemented override-redirect option and enabled it on menus,
625 as kwin puts our windows behind the terminal (what a shoddy wm).
626 - fixed struct utmp check in configure for OpenBSD.
627 - complete overhaul of the pty/utmp management stuff and configure
628 (Emanuele Giaquinta=exg).
629 - add tsl/fsl and related capabilities to the terminfo description,
630 to set the window title.
631 - swap the environment in some more cases. This hopefully fixes
632 some segfaults that might be caused by xft asking for env variables
633 at the wrong time.
634 - removed src/strings.C and src/menubar.C. No menubar support
635 anymore.
636 - removed all traces of SMOOTH_REFRESH.
637 - nuked QNX support.
638 - made some fixes to xpm offset and scaling code.
639 - perl-overlays and refresh hooks were not applied in correct order.
640 - changed coordinate-system of view_start/nsaved to be top to bottom.
641 - iom extended to support listening for child exits.
642
6437.0 Fri Jan 13 14:02:18 CET 2006
