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.

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).

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.

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.

214 (analysed by Miroslav Lichvar).
215

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.
24 - made tabs moveable (based on a patch by Petr Machata). 230 - made tabs moveable (based on a patch by Petr Machata).
