1TODO: harmonize --disable-options into position-dependent options. 1rxvt-unicode changelog <= google-friendly title
2TODO: after requesting the selection and getting a timeout, no further requests will be sent. 2
3TODO: safer command: keymap processing. 3TODO: xcopyarea pass broken, fix and improve
4TODO: event mechanism that replaces on_user_command with something more scalable.
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
4TODO: "slow" rendering mode for bidi and scripts 7TODO: "slow" rendering mode for bidi and scripts, pango!
5TODO: read property sequence is broken with respect to utf-8 etc. 8TODO: read property sequence is broken with respect to utf-8 etc.
6TODO: 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?)
7WISH: xterm's -hold 10TODO: better resource handling for tabbar in -pe tabbed.
8WISH: keymap modification via esc-sequences. 11WISH: investigate -pe tabbed -g 80x25 being 23 not 24 or 25 lines
9WISH: searchable backlog 12 => when setting the constraints, the wm might (correctly)
10WISH: meta-tagging of data by regex/master process (my dream project) 13 resize the outer window, which might result in a smaller window overall.
11WISH: OnTheSpot editing, or maybe switch to miiiiiiif 14 or something like that. guys, send me a patch.
12WISH: just for fun, do shade and tint with XRender. 15WISH: coloured pastebin

13 22
146.0 23TODO: resources section in manual talks bullshit about system-wide app-defaults file
24 - don't swap perl env with real env, save and restore it, just in case
25 we ever get recursive perl invocations. also saves a bit of codespace
26 with gcc.
27 - fix debian bug #504817, tot he extend possible.
28
299.10 Mon Dec 13 17:43:52 CET 2010
30 - the "schmorp=north korea dickey=south korea" release.
31 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: make OSC 20 simpler and more correct
32 (Emanuele Giaquinta).
33 - if options were compiled out, this could lead to the option
34 count to be defined wrongly. This is likely behind the
35 failures with gcc 4.5.
36 - explicitly depend on fontconfig and xrender when xft support
37 is enabled. Although the public Xft api uses types from
38 both, in Xft 2.2.0 these libs are private
39 dependencies only thanks to an idiotic behaviour of
40 pkg-config that was added to workaround cases like this one.
41 Fixes linking when using GNU ld with --as-needed or GNU gold
42 (based on patch by Jan Palus).
43 - fix minor memory leaks in urxvt and urxvtd.
44 - fix regression in urxvtd that prevented options from being correctly
45 set (reported by Michal Vaner).
46 - implement xterm's horribly broken 1005 mouse reporting mode,
47 and an alternative 1015 mode that works in non-utf-8 locales
48 and has fewer limitations.
49 - fix a possible bug where mouse notifications didn't work after
50 startup for the upper left corner.
51 - implement our own pixbuf to pixmap rendering to get rid of
52 dependency on buggy gdk-pixbuf-xlib. Only truecolor visuals
53 are supported (Emanuele Giaquinta).
54 - apply tinting before shading when both operations are requested.
55 Previously they were intermixed when lightening and the result
56 was inaccurate and confusing. Note that now a black tint yields a
57 completely black image, regardless of shading (Emanuele Giaquinta).
58 - avoid spurious redraws of the bg image when bg is transparent or
59 when using 'root' mode (Emanuele Giaquinta).
60 - fix build on XFree86.
61 - dynamically number options according to compiletime requirements.
62 For the extra saved byte. Or so. Yay.
63 - start options at one, not zero. Wastes a bit per terminal. Maybe.
64 saves 50 instruction bytes. Possibly.
65
669.09 Sat Nov 13 01:39:07 CET 2010
67 - NOTICE: this release updates terminfo/termcap.
68 - the bestest release ever.
69 - it was verified that urxvt handles µ and μ correctly.
70 - add support for blending and blurring with XRender (Emanuele Giaquinta).
71 - add support for using gdk-pixbuf as image backend (Emanuele Giaquinta).
72 - cleanup and minor fixes of the image code (Emanuele Giaquinta).
73 - new perl extension "confirm-paste" (Emanuele Giaquinta).
74 - new on_tt_paste perl hook and tt_paste perl binding (Emanuele Giaquinta).
75 - new on_bell perl hook (Emanuele Giaquinta).
76 - searchable-scrollback no longer ignores the first line
77 (Emanuele Giaquinta).
78 - properly set VSTATUS in termios for *BSD (reported by Ed Schouten).
79 - fix utmpx detection on upcoming FreeBSD 9.
80 - Use COMPOUND_TEXT encoding for WM_NAME/WM_ICON_NAME value when it
81 is not fully convertible to STRING (patch by James Cloos).
82 - fix a buffer overflow that would cause wrong key sequences to
83 be generated for numpad keys (introduced in 9.05).
84 - fix definition of sgr0 to work around limitations in luit.
85 - extend ISO 14755 5.4 mode to also print the font name of the
86 characters other than first one in the selected cell
87 (Emanuele Giaquinta).
88 - new iso14755 option to disable ISO 14755 at runtime
89 (Emanuele Giaquinta).
90 - make sure pagewise scrolling scrolls at least one line
91 (found by Mikachu).
92 - remove deprecated OSC 18 / 19 and make OSC 17 / 19 apply to
93 highlightColor / highlightTextColor (Emanuele Giaquinta).
94 - add highlightTextColor resource to change the foreground colour of
95 highlighted characters (Emanuele Giaquinta).
96 - make highlightColor apply also to selected cells with reverse video
97 but not to non selected cells with reverse video (Emanuele Giaquinta).
98 - remove colorRV resource (it was enabled only with frills off).
99 - fix numlock handling, the most longstanding bug to date (Emanuele Giaquinta).
100 - reduce the number of custom bits to 4, to make room
101 for 256 colours.
102 - add support for 256 colors (Emanuele Giaquinta, Marc Lehmann).
103 - add rxvt-unicode-256color terminfo and use it by default in 256 colors mode.
104 - update rxvt-unicode terminfo to state 7744 colour pairs to cover all
105 88*88 possible pairs.
106 - actually added macosx-clipboard-native, which should have been in
107 the 9.07 release but had been forgotten.
108 - fix hang if DECAWM is not set and there are not enough columns to insert a
109 character (Emanuele Giaquinta).
110 - cub1 ("backspace") will now respect wrapping when past the rightmost column,
111 working around a shortcoming of most tty line discipline's line editing.
112 - add support for grabbing the clipboard selection and extend
113 selection{_clear,_grab,} perl bindings to optionally work
114 on the clipboard selection (based on patch by Dana Jansens).
115 - no longer force CERASE to BACKSPACE - use the system default. affects
116 default value for VERASE only when no compatible setting for
117 backspacekey was given.
118 - use higher than 38400 baudrate setting, if detected.
119 - erase screen would clear to the wrong background when blinking
120 was enabled (which selects high intensity under some circumstances).
121 - scr_kill_char didn't touch the line.
122 - upgrade and port to libev-4.01.
123 - enabled solaris event ports and kqueue backends (if available).
124
1259.07 Wed Dec 30 07:07:18 CET 2009
126 - port to glibc-2.10 changes (strchr etc. returning const char *
127 in C++), based on patches by Milos Jakubicek and Oliver Mader.
128 - the binary search algorithm to find precomposed characters
129 was faulty, skipping some possible combinations (found by
130 Mikachu).
131 - new -letterspace option, patch by Mark H. Wilkinson.
132 - enable --mlock option for urxvt with frills on
133 systems supporting it (patch by Russell Harmon).
134 - urxvt did not compile without frills enabled
135 (analysed by Matthew Rosewarne).
136 - correctly reset the mbstate after an illegal
137 input sequence when handling terminal output (Emanuele Giaquinta).
138 - avoid redrawing wide characters with combining enabled on every
139 refresh (reported by Mikachu).
140 - fix a typo preventing the ISO-646.1991 character set from being
141 recognized (http://achurch.org/patch-pile/).
142 - better warning for x11 font encoding detection failures, also,
143 try to deduce encoding from both font properties and name
144 (adapted from http://achurch.org/patch-pile/).
145 - resizing the window with the scrollbar disabled via the escapes
146 sequence could make the window bigger again (Mikachu).
147 - make sure the alignment for fd passing control messages
148 is correct and work around some NetBSD issues (Taylor R Campbell).
149 - update to libptytty 1.3.
150 - replace macosx-clipboard by a nicer version by Reza Jelveh, and move
151 the old version to macosx-clipboard-native.
152 - document the -uc option (Emanuele Giaquinta).
153 - assertions in libev are now enabled depending on frills.
154 - update AnyEvent implementation to version 5.23 API.
155 - work around arrogant bsd idiocies again: netbsd spills the default
156 namespace with lots of symbols "for gnu/gcc compatibility" even
157 though neither of them does it, and then calls the rest of the world
158 in need of fixing. go figure.
159 - on_keyboard_command is on_user_command (patch by Michael Witten).
160 - setting the selection from perl will now reset the selection screen
161 to the current screen. the screen can be manipulated using
162 the new ->selection_screen method.
163 - implement --enable-assert configure option and get rid of DEBUG_STRICT
164 (based on patch by Emanuele Giaquinta).
165 - fix printpipe data output (patch by Emanuele Giaquinta).
166 - allow `xxx' quoting style for perl selection.
167 - upgrade to libev-3.9 prerelease.
168 - updated compose tables to unicode 5.2.0.
169
1709.06 Sat Nov 8 17:47:18 CET 2008
171 - NOTICE: this release updates terminfo/termcap.
172 - updates libev to 3.48.
173 - the aterm code now frees the as visual and image manager objects
174 when a window was closed.
175 - do not (wrongly) adjust the virtual line length inside
176 scr_insdel_chars/ERASE (Miroslav Lichvar).
177 - fix an issue where wide tab characters caused character shifts
178 when part of them was deleted (tracked down by Miroslav Lichvar).
179 - artificially enlargen the previous character at the end of a line
180 when trying to output a character that doesn't fit. looks ugly, but
181 makes copy&paste work.
182 - remove bogus "setuid/setgid security issues" from rxvt.1.pod, they
183 no longer apply.
184 - the urgency hint is now cleared on both focus in and focus out.
185 - cache urgency hint locally to avoid server rtt on every focus change.
186 - perl 5.10 needs PERL_SYS_INIT3 on hppa.
187 - ignore byte-order marks and do not treat them like combining characters.
188 - fix build issue when CURSOR_BLINK is not defined (Emanuele Giaquinta).
189 - do some µ-optimisations to the character fast path.
190 - use a less cunning, but more robust algorithm to avoid one terminal
191 monopolising the whole process by outputting a lot of text.
192 - try to work around linux first breaking sched_yield and now breaking
193 the only known workaround.
194 - new option -icon to set _NET_WM_ICON (based on patch by Frank Schmitt).
195 - initialise the as visual only on demand, instead of unconditionally,
196 to save memory in the common case of not using visual gimmicks.
197 - try to work around bugs in a few wm's that erroneously resize
198 client windows on hint property updates by temporarily
199 disabling size hints.
200 - implement the DECSTR soft reset sequence and use it for tput init,
201 and make hard RIS and DECSTR both reset more private modes, such
202 as mouse reporting.
203 - redundantly clear mouse reporting and a few other states in
204 tput init/tput reset, for older urxvts.
205 - partial/full clear screens did cause flickering and possibly pixel
206 droppings when urxvt viewed the scrollback buffer.
207 - use current rendition style in DCH sequence.
208 - the 132/80 mode switch no longer forces a screen reset.
209 - add an osc sequence to change the border colour (Emanuele Giaquinta).
210 - new perl extension "overlay-osc", for status displays and the like.
211 - fix some minor cursor drawing issues with overlays by allowing
212 overlays to modify screen flags (to disable the cursor themselves).
213 - work around programs not restoring rstyle before rmcup
214 (analysed by Miroslav Lichvar).
215
2169.05 Sun Jun 15 20:09:20 CEST 2008
217 - new option --cd/chdir to set the starting working directory.
218 - tabbed extension now starts in the "correct" working directory.
219 - work around fedora 9 providing isastream but not the relevant
220 header file for it (report by Tuncer Ayaz).
221 - upgrade libev, fixing a bug in the select backend.
222 with more than 31 file descriptors on non-linux 64 bit systems.
223 - correctly reset the multibyte state to the initial one
224 after EILSEQ (patch by Neil Booth). This fixes the
225 issue of rxvt-unicode not properly displaying text after an illegal
226 sequence on NetBSD and probably other systems.
227 - more intelligent property handling with -pe tabbed, works around
228 broken window managers (kwm et al.), saves bandwidth and should
229 help working window managers as well.
230 - made tabs moveable (based on a patch by Petr Machata).
231 - implement ESC [ 3 K as a more rational alternative to ESC [ 0 K.
232 - support relative paths for RXVT_SOCKET in urxvtd.
233 - the tabbed extension now blindly copies over all (rxvt-) resources
234 from the toplevel window to the children.
235 - better diagnostic on 0x0 window geometries.
236 - update AnyEvent API to version 3.4 and above.
237 - document the default value of :0 for DISPLAY.
238 - rename perl method XChangeWindowProperty to XChangeProperty.
239
2409.02 Tue Jan 29 11:58:36 CET 2008
241 - the "exg makes everybody happy" release.
242 - fix build with !xft.
243 - always compile in plain style scrollbar (simplifies code and looks great).
244
2459.01 Sat Jan 26 20:49:27 CET 2008
246 - be more aggressive about handling X events, this seems to be required
247 with newer xlibs (should fix the "screen stays black until event is
248 received" problem, again :)
249 - add buffered resource to control xft double-buffering.
250
2519.0 Fri Jan 25 19:34:04 CET 2008
252 - fix a crash bug where urxvtd would crash when urxvtc was called
253 with wrong arguments (I wish debian maintainers in general would
254 report bugs and their proposed fixes to the original package maintainers
255 instead of sitting on them for good measure to see if anybody notices).
256 - drawing xft compose characters was causing garbage to be drawn.
257 - correctly clear xft character background in all cases.
258 - implement bracketed paste mode (xterm private mode 2004).
259 - improve documentation on alpha channel handling, make urxvt
260 work better on servers lacking the RENDER extension when alpha
261 channels or background images are used.
262 - check for refresh after initialising to avoid staying blank
263 till the first event arrives. or so.
264 - the FORCE_UNBUFFERED_XFT feature macro works again.
265 - continuously update transparency while moving/resizing now.
266 - OSC 39/49 are deprecated and aliased to OSC 10/11.
267 - cub1 now acts as advertised (and ignores the "wrapped" state).
268 - the 132/80 mode switch now forces a height of 24, too, and
269 resets the terminal.
270 - scrollbar code cleanups.
271 - stopping children is no longer confused with children exiting.
272 - removed (undocumented) #aarrggbb format.
273 - updated to libev 3.0.
274
2758.9 Mon Dec 24 07:51:40 CET 2007
276 - fix the issue where urxvtd would not immediately close a window
277 when the command exited but only on the next X event.
278 - changed terminfo file not to use application keypad mode.
279 - fix the issue where making a selection in one urxvtd window
280 would not clear it visually in another.
281 - fix an issue of urxvt not getting background pixmap updates
282 and flickering after bg pixmap changes (reported by Mikachu).
283 - fix redraw bug in xterm scrollbar with -sr (reported by Mikachu).
284 - correctly provide dependencies for libev (µikachu).
285 - minor code reorganisations and cleanups.
286 - be more robust in case the urxvt-popup extension cannot be loaded.
287
2888.8 Sat Dec 15 19:40:39 CET 2007
289 - option -C was aliased to all unsupported options, activating
290 options that shouldn't be compiled in, leading to interesting
291 effects.
292 - updated libev, working around a bug in linux 2.4, curing the
293 symptom of urxvt not closing its window on shell exit. also
294 fixes a problem with urxvt not refreshing.
295 - the text blink callback was called even when no blinking
296 text was visible.
297 - pre-8.4 slipwheeling behaviour has been reinstated, with
298 some minor improvements.
299 - streamlined x events processing to only flush once per
300 display and not once per terminal window.
301 - quite a bit of minor code cleanups and codesize optimisations.
302
3038.7 Sun Nov 25 10:23:49 CET 2007
304 - update libev with an important bugfix that would cause crashes
305 when closing windows (when using rxvtd, and update is recommended).
306 - do not compile in the block builtin graphics with --disable-frills.
307
3088.6 Fri Nov 23 14:10:57 CET 2007
309 - upgrade libev to disable kqueue on anything but netbsd as it
310 seems to be broken everywhere else w.r.t. ptys.
311 - allow for spurious event notifications, as at least epoll and
312 especially solaris ports like to lie about them (symptoms:
313 urxvt "hangs" until there is some x11 related activity).
314 - -keysym command line options are now subjected to xlib parsing.
315 - add 'xrm' option analogous to Xt one.
316
3178.5a Wed Nov 21 10:16:33 CET 2007
318 - make it compile with --disable-transparency.
319
3208.5 Wed Nov 21 05:19:20 CET 2007
321 - expect major portability issues in this release: please test and report.
322 - converted from the veritable io manager event loop to
323 the high performance libev (http://software.schmorp.de/pkg/libev).
324 - minor tuning to the perl selection (include single words and more quoting chars).
325 - fix memory leak in pixmap code.
326 - fix a serious bug while setting the XIM destroy callback
327 on (typical) 64 bit systems.
328 - automove-background functionality re-implemented internally using :root op in pixmap
329 geometry string. For example: rxvt -pixmap "image.jpg;:root"
330 - do not link rxvtc against every lib on the planet anymore.
331 - parallel builds should work once more.
332
3338.4 Sat Oct 27 14:02:13 CEST 2007
334 - overhaul of the transparency/pixmap code (sasha).
335 - fix possible race between visual bell and poweron.
336 (reported by Martin von Gagern, gentoo?).
337 - urxvt -e no longer crashes the child.
338 - fixed some minor memleaks on incorrect usage or
339 missing DISPLAY.
340 - implement xterm 1002/1003 mouse tracking modes (exg).
341 - source code organisational cleanups (exg).
342 - updated io_manager.
343
3448.3 Wed Aug 1 20:21:31 CEST 2007
345 - new option: skipScroll/-ss, enabled by default.
346 - go with the times and expect x11 library files in /usr/lib, not
347 /usr/X11R6/lib.
348 - initial transparency improvement/afterimage support
349 patch by Sasha Vasko.
350 - add urgentOnBell resource to set the urgency hint
351 (patch by Philip Paeps).
352 - do not process focus events caused by grabs
353 (patch by Mikachu).
354 - add iso14755_52 resource to disable iso14755 5.2 (exg).
355 - add binding for backspace in iso14755 5.1 to remove the last
356 digit (exg).
357 - better option handling, support more than 30 options (exg).
358 - nuke reconf script, serves no purpose anymore.
359 - fixed and documented matcher/on_user_command processing in matcher
360 extension (tpope).
361 - compile out of the box on Solaris 10 (exg).
362 - fix MappingNotify events (reported by Stephan Walter).
363 - zero-initialise mwmhints, this seems to solve all sorts of minor
364 problems.
365
3668.2 Sat Feb 17 21:35:28 CET 2007
367 - fix make depend in src/, reported by exg.
368 - fixed typo in urxvt::GET_CUSTOM, causing the result to be wrong.
369 (patch by Sergey Vlasov).
370 - unbundled iom perl interface somewhat.
371 - scrollbar-xterm now uses the selected scrollColor instead of fg
372 (found by Aiviru).
373 - disabled linux kernel bug workaround again: disabling it gives
374 a 50% speed hit on affected machines, while enabling it gives
375 a similar speed hit to screen, which is likely the more common
376 case to work around for :/
377 - urxvt::rend2mask perl function, and utilization of it by matcher
378 (patch by Moshe Kamensky).
379 - use perl:matcher on a keysym to open most recently displayed URL.
380 - with matcher, when multiple patterns match, last wins, not first.
381 - fix make and make install with srcdir != builddir (exg).
382 - updated bundled libptytty to fix a bug where the tty would be kept
383 open (see the libptytty ChangeLog for details).
384 - delay setting the IUTF8 flag to after the tty settings have been
385 set so its value does not get lost (reported and analysed by Andrei
386 Paskevich).
387 - rip out support for obsolete sgtty.h interface.
388 - rip out support for non-POSIX termios variants.
389 - update libptytty.
390 - update iom.C, make it call ptytty::sanitise_stdfd on init.
391 - when !XFT, change rounding of colours to use a less correct formula to
392 meet user expectancies (#aaa becomes #a000a000a000 not #9f9f9f9f9f9f).
393 - change the starting offset of the pixmap set with backgroundPixmap
394 from (50,50) to (0,0) (exg).
395 - fix a typo in button_release, now meta-button2 request the value of
396 the Clipboard selection as it should (patch by Serge Koksharov).
397 - fix a bug in drawing a cell with a nonspacing char when using an xft
398 font with inheritPixmap and tintColor (exg).
399
4008.1 Thu Dec 7 22:27:25 CET 2006
401 - ケリスマスプレゼント - zomg!!1, it's too early!!!
402 - fix the assumption that chars < 256 are single-width. Now
403 only assume this for codepoints 32 to 126 (reported by Dai.H.).
404 - $term->strwidth returned wide chars as width 1, because some jerk
405 confused min and max. Fixing this also fixes xim-onthespot.
406 Reported by Takano Akio.
407 - secondaryScroll is now enabled by default (as per the manpage),
408 reported by exg.
409 - correct the description of [percent]color rgba format in the manpage.
410 - incorporated macosx-clipboard extension by Samuel Ljungkvist.
411 - ignore (some) useless focus events (reported by mmc).
412 - updated compose table to unicode 5.0.0.
413
4148.0 Thu Nov 2 18:35:19 CET 2006
415 - combining characters cleared the area instead of creating an overlay,
416 thus losing the ability to draw combining characters properly in most
417 circumstances (reported by exg).
418 - specified fonts were incorrectly morphed to bold/italic according to the
419 basefont, even if explicitly specified (tracked down by tpope).
420 - fixed urxvt::strwidth to calculate width in the same way as screen.C.
421 - fix a crash caused by passing negative widths to overlay functions.
422 - added 'matcher' extension by tpope, replacing the mark-urls extension.
423 - improve url regex to match anything www.* (tpope).
424 - fixed bug with outline cursor color being wrong after xft fonts.
425 - update to libptytty-1.0.
426 - give proper diagnostic when RXVT_SOCKET is too long instead of
427 corrupting the stack (patch by exg).
428 - display current terminal locale in option menu.
429 - urxvtd no longer crashes when the client sends an inaccessible
430 working directory (reported by Roland Baer, possibly fixes gentoo
431 bug #143985).
432 - fixed many minor issues reported by Roland Baer.
433 - Leonid Khramov spotted a minor glitch in rxvtfont.C that
434 should not have any consequences, but was buggy nonetheless.
435 - manpage fix by exg.
436
4377.9 Mon Aug 7 18:16:07 CEST 2006
438 - fix the crashing bug people encountered with 7.8 + urxvtd + perl
439 + transparency. Ought to fix debian bug #380348.
440 - fix urxvtc.1.pod: it actually claimed -pty-fd would not work. But
441 it does! :->
442 - rxvt_fatal() in case the locale string is too long for our static buffer.
443 - fixed many, many, typos in the manpages (patch supplied by ves).
444
4457.8 Mon Jul 17 21:00:46 CEST 2006
446 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: this version will always read ~/.Xdefaults,
447 earlier versions only read it if display-resources (usually from
448 .Xresources) are not set. This avoids the #1 FAQ ("why isn't my
449 resource used") and seems to be logical behaviour, too. .Xdefaults
450 resources have a lower priority than display-specific resources.
451 - add "kuake" perl extension that does a similar thing to the kuake
452 terminal emulator (see man urxvtperl).
453 - use less "correct" color scaling that is compatible with libX11 and
454 Xft (avoids off-by-one colors resulting in striped backgrounds).
455 - the "depth" resource is now respected.
456 - preset the searchable-scrollback pattern with "(?i)" to default search
457 to case-insensitivity. Will automatically be cleared when typing an
458 uppercase character.
459 - add FORCE_UNBUFFERED_XFT define to features.h.
460 - re-enabled highlightcolor support with --enable-frills, based on
461 a patch by Martin Stubenschrott.
462 - double-buffered xft drawing did suffer from pixel offset issues
463 when pixmap transparency was enabled.
464 - strategically add # to the url-match regexes, as we really want to
465 match common URIs not common URLs. Reported by Aaron Griffin.
466 - moved on_osc_seq to on_osc_seq_perl and added a more
467 generic osc_seq.
468 - fix a bug causing double callback invocations when perl hooks
469 were invoked recursively.
470 - the automove-background extension now properly works when the
471 pixmap gets reset with an osc sequence (sqweek).
472 - selection-pastebin did not work properly with non-latin1-characters.
473 - apply colorUL only when the text colour is the default fg
474 (patch by Wu Fengguang).
475 - removed rxvtlib.h from the tarball, it had no reason to be there
476 (spotted by Decklin Foster).
477 - fix compiling with TRANSPARENT but !XPM_BACKGROUND, as reported
478 by omatunto_.
479 - slap in a using namespace std, might help on platforms that don't
480 follow C++ closely enough.
481 - fix mailto url regex, spotted within milliseconds by Jost Krieger.
482 - applied fade_color_update_func.patch by WU Fengguang.
483 - fix a bug where (due to an optimisation in av_delete), hiding the
484 bottom-most overlay would hide two overlays.
485
4867.7 Tue Feb 21 12:32:49 CET 2006
487 - use double-buffered drawing (xft fonts only). On many driver/hardware
488 combination this actually increases xft drawing speed, at the expense
489 of more network bandwidth and slight nausea on the side of the author.
490 - readline perl extension now requires shift-click instead of a normal
491 click, and eats the click.
492 - tabbed perl extension now supports -e.
493 - disabled graphics-exposures on the main drawing GC, report any
494 refresh bugs please.
495 - improve property handling for -pe tabbed: avoid unnecessary property
496 changes (for kde's benefit) at the expense of extra round-trips,
497 improve size hint setting.
498 - modified XIM according to a patch sent by Takano Akio that sets
499 the preedit rectangle for OverTheSpot, which helps some input methods
500 to correctly position their preedit window.
501 - un-optimise the line clearing on newly scrolled-in lines a bit: the
502 former reasoning was that any fg colour on default bg looks the same
503 in empty spaces, but that's not true when reversing (e.g. selection),
504 so also check for matching fg colours. This fixes the problem where
505 selecting newly scrolled-in lines would exhibit wrong colours.
506 - fix a bug in the perl interface causing focus in events to generate
507 focus out perl events, causing bad focus effects with -pe tabbed.
508 - fix a race resulting in a crash on exiting.
509 - fix a with --disable-xft that caused xfreecolors to be called on
510 colors never allocated, resulting in aborts (reported by Paco-Paco).
511 - resources on non-initial screens weren't refetched correctly
512 (reported by Paco-Paco).
513 - fix a bug in xcopyarea pass and _disable_ it, as it seems not to be
514 working in either rxvt-unicode nor in the original rxvt.
515 - removed undocumented -exec alias for the -e option.
516
5177.6 Fri Feb 10 08:52:36 CET 2006
518 - changed interpretation of [alpha] colour prefix.
519 - +option now really sets the option to default, instead of using the
520 resource value.
521 - options that require an argument now really _require_ an argument.
522 - the tabbed extension now forwards focus and key events to the
523 relevant tab window.
524 - tab colours are now configurable and have sensible defaults
525 (initial patch by hednod).
526 - option menu is extendable, readline, selection and
527 selection-autotransform can now be disabled/enabled at runtime.
528 - forcing a configure event to tabbed subwindows with -pe tabbed, for
529 the benefit of automove-background.
530 - the automove-background extension added a wrong constant offset.
531 - force refresh of XA_RESOURCE_STRING on virtual reconnect.
532 - return exit status 2 in urxvtc when urxvtd couldn't be contacted.
533 - the linux yield hack is back, now using usleep, and enabled only on
534 __linux__.
535 - further round trip eliminations in the !XFT case by remembering
536 the colour components.
537 - plain scrollbar works better with -sr.
538 - fixed half-shadow scrollbar look.
539 - more colour rtt optimisations.
540 - properly(?) free colours on window close.
541 - reorganised the FAQ into multiple sections.
542 - add ISO646.1991-IRV to the list of supported codesets.
543 - minor libptytty update.
544
5457.5 Tue Jan 31 15:15:43 CET 2006
546 - further improvements to the careful mode detection, and font width
547 detection:
548 - fully double-wide fonts will now be correctly treated,
549 - overlap detection was improved.
550 - detect totally broken fonts (usually synthesized by xft).
551 - careful mode forced refresh sometimes clashed with blinking,
552 causing unnecessary screen redraws.
553 - better handling of XFT combining characters.
554 - enable antialiasing for some replacement fonts, as they
555 might get used for other encodings which really need it, later.
556 - remove spacing=100 from all default fonts, as this creates totally
557 weird spacing (5 times normal) with xft.
558 - removed iso10646 fallback, as xorgs iso10646 encoded fonts are mostly
559 broken.
560 - removed gnu unifont fallback, all combining characters are broken.
561 - replace named colours by xorg's rgb.txt equivalents, to
562 reduce round trip time on startup, and short-cut allocation
563 of rgb:rr/gg/bb for xft.
564 - short-cut allocation of rgb values in the xlib case
565 (patch by Paco-Paco).
566 - overhauled color management: smaller codesize, alpha support.
567 - support "rgba:rrrr/gggg/bbbb/aaaa" color specifications and
568 an "[alpha]" prefix.
569 - try to work around Xft and Xrender forcing everything to be 100%
570 transparent. Long Live Xft!
571 - do not include X11/Intrinsic.h anymore, directly use
572 Xlib/Xutil/Xresource directly.
573 - try to find a nearest matching color when color allocation fails
574 on a pseudocolor screen.
575 - SYNCCVS: compared to rxvt-cvs 2006-01-28, no relevant changes.
576 - fix version report (DA) (which was unfortunately broken).
577 - changed version number report again, now to emulate xterm closer.
578 - added the OSC sequence 702 to detect the urxvt version number.
579 - small configure updates.
580 - further RTT optimisations.
581 - backported clean-up patches for makefiles and documentation from
582 the debian package.
583 - updated doc/rxvt-unicode.spec file. It's still not maintained here,
584 but much newer than the old one.
585
5867.4 Sat Jan 28 15:26:27 CET 2006
587 - screen background wasn't always erased properly when scrolling,
588 - re-enabled clearing optimisation disabled in 7.4pre.
589 - small configure updates for libptytty.
590 - fixed version options: line output.
591 - removed stoopid debugging message left in the code.
592
5937.3 Wed Jan 25 22:47:35 CET 2006
594 - don't let iso14755 or mouse reporting get into the way of perl
595 (could lead to global grabs never being cleared).
596 - experimental OnTheSpot editing support (-pe xim-onthespot).
597 - moved Shift-Button2 paste combination to Meta-Button2.
598 - the cutchars resource will now be respected and used by the
599 selection extension.
600 - added the "remote-clipboard" extension which just runs external
601 commands to fetch and store the selection data.
602 - added -depth switch that tries to get a different visual depth
603 than the default (replaces the old PREFER_24_BIT logic).
604 - removed (unused) arabic presentation form composing sequences.
605 - be more strict when deciding that a core font glyph is too wide and
606 needs the careful rendering mode.
607 - allow more leeway for italic fonts when deciding that a character is
608 too wide and needs careful mode.
609 - redraw even more characters around characters using careful mode.
610 - made selection-pastebin fully asynchronous.
611 - reduced number of server turnarounds at startup by allocating
612 atoms only once per display.
613 - renamed on_keyboard_command to on_user_command.
614 - changed version sos (ESC [ > c) response to be more compatible with
615 xterm.
616
6177.2 Sun Jan 22 21:58:16 CET 2006
618 - bugfix: urxvt (not urxvtd) did not correctly handle multiple
619 environments necessary, which resulted in segfaults within
620 getenv (reproducable: urxvt -fn 9x15, open a menu once,
621 ctrl-shift-672c).
622 - bugfix: the selection speedup in in 7.1 unfortunately caused
623 non-ascii characters to enlarge/move the selection.
624 - bugfix: resizing sometimes leaked lines from the secondary to
625 the primary screen.
626 - bugfix: reducing window size while large amounts of text were output
627 could lead to an assertion failure.
628 - added "tabbed" extension that provides a crude tabbed terminal.
629 - added "readline" extension that allows cursor positioning
630 via mouse clicks.
631 - now it is possible to insert the value of the CLIPBOARD selection
632 with shift - mouse button 2.
633 - fixed the automove-background extension to ignore coordinates
634 in non-synthetic events.
635 - created a separate libpty for portable and secure
636 pty/tty/utmp/wtmp/lastlog handling, and include it in rxvt-unicode.
637 - the non-terminfo visual bell now works asynchronously, so
638 continuous ASCI BELs in one terminal do no longer monopolise the
639 whole urxvt[d] process.
640 - support some *BSD makes (for the time being, gnu make is a safe bet).
641 - work around bugs in FreeBSD's gcc.
642 - implemented some *BSD fixes in configure.
643 - removed support for obsolete offix dnd protocol.
644
6457.1 Thu Jan 19 20:25:34 CET 2006
646 - setuid/setgid operation is now _encouraged_: security has been
647 improved by moving privileged operations into a separate process
648 and permanently dropping privileges within the terminal. This
649 makes it possible to remove security checks from the perl code
650 and gives a much safer feeling when urxvt needs to run with
651 special privileges.
652 - perl taint checking disabled, as urxvt no longer runs setuid/setgid
653 itself.
654 - new perl extension automove-background that can be used to get
655 the same effect as pseudo-transparency with any pixmap.
656 - new perl extension example: perl/selection-pastebin, can be used to
657 e.g. upload the selection to a webserver and generate a url, or
658 similar stuff.
659 - use the scrollback buffer even when the scroll region doesn't
660 span the whole screen, as long as it starts at row 0. Helps
661 for programs displaying a status line at the bottom.
662 - selection popup now shows selection in dec/hex/oct.
663 - perl/selection: matching on unicode characters in the selection
664 code was O(n²), which equals infinity in some degenerate cases
665 :-> Matching is now done on UTF-8, which makes it almost instant.
666 - perl/selection, perl/selection-autotransform: regexes are now
667 being interpreted in the locale urxvt was started.
668 - implemented override-redirect option and enabled it on menus,
669 as kwin puts our windows behind the terminal (what a shoddy wm).
670 - fixed struct utmp check in configure for OpenBSD.
671 - complete overhaul of the pty/utmp management stuff and configure
672 (Emanuele Giaquinta=exg).
673 - add tsl/fsl and related capabilities to the terminfo description,
674 to set the window title.
675 - swap the environment in some more cases. This hopefully fixes
676 some segfaults that might be caused by xft asking for env variables
677 at the wrong time.
678 - removed src/strings.C and src/menubar.C. No menubar support
679 anymore.
680 - removed all traces of SMOOTH_REFRESH.
681 - nuked QNX support.
682 - made some fixes to xpm offset and scaling code.
683 - perl-overlays and refresh hooks were not applied in correct order.
684 - changed coordinate-system of view_start/nsaved to be top to bottom.
685 - iom extended to support listening for child exits.
686
6877.0 Fri Jan 13 14:02:18 CET 2006
688 - added sections for DISTRIBUTION MAINTAINERS and about
689 SETUID/SETGID to the FAQ.
690 - selection, searchable-scrollback, selection-popup and
691 option-popup extensions enabled by default.
692 - increased xft drawing speed for problematic fonts. The effect
693 will likely be small as 99% of the xft slowness is server-related.
694 - perl: much increased functionality, better overlays, popup support
695 and much much more.
696 - perl: urxvt::line now can set via ->t and ->r.
697 - perl: changed interpretation of --perl-ext-common and -pe.
698 - perl: finally implemented --perl-eval.
699 - perl: non-blocking anyevent support.
700 - perl: run tainted and ignore perl-eval/perl-lib if started
701 setuid/setgid.
702 - free the resource database: this plugs a massive memory leak. As a
703 side effect, it also gets rid of XGetDefault calls.
704 - free one of the cursors, fixes a small memory leak.
705 - built-in (as opposed to terminfos) visual bell was broken/too fast.
706 - applied minor cleanups by Ladislav Michnovic.
707 - applied pty handling cleanups and improvements (Emanuele Giaquinta).
708 - mark-urls launch-on-click by jepler.
709 - removed "small" resource parsing function, as it wasn't really
710 compatible, and not really small either.
711 - removed PATH_ENV and PATH file search support.
712 - removed support for locale-specific app-defaults file.
713 - fixed a bug where out-of-bounds colour sequences could lead
714 to crashes.
715 - limit colour changing to the standard 88 palette instead of all
716 colours.
717 - XTerm_Color01 sequence returned wrong results in query mode.
718 - iom.C now checks against destructed io_manager when unregistering.
719
7206.3 Wed Jan 4 22:37:10 CET 2006
721 - SECURITY FIX: on systems using openpty, permissions were
722 not correctly updated on the tty device and were left as
723 world-readable and world-writable (likely in original rxvt,
724 too), and were not restored properly. Affected are only
725 systems where non-unix ptys were used (such as most BSDs, not
726 GNU/Linux). (found, patched and debugged by Ryan Beasley).
727 - meta8 support was forcefully enabled in most configurations.
728 restored configurability of this (useless) feature (reported
729 by Mikachu).
730 - optionally embed a perl interpreter, which can be used for more
731 intelligent/customized selection support, visual feedback,
732 menus, tabs etc. See the the urxvtperl manpage, the -pe option,
733 perl*-resources and keysym resources. Not everything is there yet.
734 - try to be more clever about differing font sizes and their ascent.
735 Not guarenteed to work, but works better in most cases now.
736 - fix directory permissions on install.
737 - implemented option to disable built-in line drawing characters
738 and fall back to the font ones (patch by Martin Pohlack).
739 - disabled sched_yield support: the linux version is just too useless
740 (it schedules nice'd processes before the own one for extended
741 periods). Too bad, it could reduce system time by a factor of 5 here.
742
7436.2 Mon Jan 2 16:03:01 CET 2006
744 - implemented intensityStyles option which enables/disables bold/blink
745 selecting high intensity foreground/background colours, suggested by
746 Chuck Blake.
747 - move iso14755 character feedback box out of the way if it would
748 obscure the mouse cursor position.
749 - replaced callback.h by a fixed version from gvpe that correctly
750 returns the callback result (affects new -pty-fd semantics in urxvtc
751 on a few architectures). Reported by darix.
752 - include one trailing space in rectangular selections to indicate
753 the inserted newline (yeah, weird, but visually more pleasing).
754 - try to use sched_yield to (drastically) improve terminal data
755 transfer efficiency.
756 - further minor cleanups.
757
7586.1 Tue Dec 27 13:23:40 CET 2005
759 - update iso8859-7 table (euro and drachma round-trip et al.).
760 - fix a crash when the selection scrolls out of the scrollback
761 while the user still drags.
762 - selections that were partially scrolled out of the window were
763 not drawn correctly.
764 - lines newly scrolled in were not initialized properly, leading
765 to extremely long lines and (hopefully) some segfaults.
766 - iso14755 overlay position was wrong.
767 - iso14755 overlay now displays rendition info, too.
768 - use unicode white space class instead of hardcoded values for
769 stripping whitespace.
770 - do whitespace stripping on rectangular selections.
771 - slight cleanups in src/features.h.
772
7736.0 Sat Dec 24 13:58:56 CET 2005
