1 rxvt-unicode changelog <= google-friendly title
2
3 TODO: xcopyarea pass broken, fix and improve
4 TODO: event mechanism that replaces on_user_command with something more scalable.
5 TODO: slipwheeling needs a keyboard grab to get key release events.
6 TODO: overlays collide with the way the out-of-focus cursor is being drawn
7 TODO: "slow" rendering mode for bidi and scripts, pango!
8 TODO: read property sequence is broken with respect to utf-8 etc.
9 TODO: slow drag selection on remote display - other things seem fast (rxvt illness, motion hints?)
10 TODO: better resource handling for tabbar in -pe tabbed.
11 WISH: investigate -pe tabbed -g 80x25 being 23 not 24 or 25 lines
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.
15 WISH: coloured pastebin
16 WISH: load system-wide config file even if we don't have one
17 WISH: look into XAddConnectionWatch, does anybody need that?
18 DUMB: support tex fonts
19 TODO: perl-shell-window? perl-unix-socket?
20 TODO: command line editing when icanon?
21 TODO: split ROW into a ROW_fast (0..total*2-1) and ROW macros?
22 TODO: catch exceptions when calling perl hooks
23 TODO: xdbe
24 TODO: optimise bg reeval for resize for common patterns (pixmap bigger than window?)
25 TODO: pack rxvt_fatal messages into the exception object
26 TODO: load must not cache, but global image cache must be cleaned
27 TODO: description into --help output?
28 TODO: rxvt -help => (see rxvt-XXX(1))?
29 TODO: xor_rect should shift right
30 TODO IMPL: recalc bg only when not fully covering (no alpha, repeat|extend etc..)
31
32 TODO IMPL: colour-change event with index
33 TODO IMPL: recalc bg always on bg colour change

36 TODO: warn with a graphical message when env has been modified
37 TODO: c&c perl socket via daemon-ext mechanism
38 TODO: simplify extension metainfo cache, cache on disk
39 TODO: URxvt::Ext::Name installs urxvt ext name and provides pod/manpage for URxvt::Ext::Name
40 TODO: üpixel droppins idenrasm,ll,scrollup
41 TODO: cuu/cud and probably others default to 1 when arg is 0, not just missing, in xterm/vt102, but not in rxvt
42 TODO: clean up the resource vs. long option mess, especially in the manpage.
43 TODO: think about daemon delaying urxvt client exit.
44 IDEA: use harfbuzz to render combining sequences, maybe also complex scripts
45 TODO: https://github.com/bbidulock/icewm/issues/492 urxvt wrongfully(?) needa configurenotify after mapwindow? also, black border?
46
47 TODO: ❤️ configurable fps setting
48 TODO: rclock horribly time-biased
49 TODO: rclock iso mode?
50
51 TODO: printf "\e[4:3m" - "undercurl" - should probbaly be interpüreted as underline, rather than \e[43m
52 TODO: click through mode / https://shallowsky.com/blog/2017/Apr/06/
53
54 TODO:
55 03:32:26 <BlueFish> Hi. I think I found a bug in special_encode in rxvtperl.xs
56 03:33:37 <BlueFish> special_encode('لا') or any other string that contains 'لا' returns a disturbed string
57 03:33:40 <schmorp> hi BlueFish
58 03:34:10 <schmorp> whats a disturbed string?
59 03:34:25 <BlueFish> for example سلام becomes ملام
60 03:35:05 <BlueFish> see this issue: https://github.com/mkamensky/Text-Bidi/issues/10 I was trying to fix it
61 and after playing around for a while found out that special_encode is causing the problem
62 03:35:36 <schmorp> does this happen when you compile without --enable-combining (or with --disable-combining)?
63 03:37:40 <BlueFish> I don't know the one that I installed from my distro repository has this flag or not. Is
64 there anyway to check?
65 03:38:49 <schmorp> rxvt --help will output a options: line at the top, whioch will list "combining"
66 03:39:10 <schmorp> anyway, I don't think i will understand this at my current tiredness level, I'll have a
67 look when I have time
68 03:39:26 <schmorp> are you usually around on this network, so I coulöd ask you in cas eI have questions?
69 03:40:25 <BlueFish> yes combining is enabled. No I don't check IRC that much. You can reach me via email
70 03:40:44 <schmorp> ok, thats fine
71 03:40:40 <BlueFish> avestasabayemoghadam@gmail.com
72
73 - implement a fix for CVE-2022-4170 (reported and analyzed by David Leadbeater).
74 While present in version 9.30, it should not be exploitable. It is exploitable
75 in versions 9.25 and 9.26, at least, and allows anybody controlling terminal
76 input to execute arbitrary code in the urxvt process.
77 - the background extension no longer requires off focus fading support
78 to be compiled in.
79 - fix compiling without frills.
80 - fix rewrapMode: never.
81 - fix regression that caused urxvt to no longer emit responses
82 to OSC color queries other than OSC 4 ones.
83 - fix regression that caused urxvt to no longer process OSC 705.
84 - exec_async (used e.g. by the matcher extension to spawn processes) now
85 sets the URXVT_EXT_WINDOWID variable to the window id opf the terminal.
86
87 9.30 Sat 27 Nov 2021 21:07:09 CET
88 - the background extension did not initialise properly when automatically
89 loaded via the OSC.
90 - new "on_attach" hook type implemented, to initialise late-loading
91 extensions.
92
93 9.29 Mon 22 Nov 2021 18:07:14 CET
94 - libptytty (http://dist.schmorp.de/libptytty/) is now a required
95 external dependency.
96 - enable confirm-paste extension by default, can be disabled by e.g.
97 URxvt.perl-ext: -confirm-paste
98 - Key bindings specified with the -keysym option or with resources of
99 the form URxvt*keysym work again. Such resources, as opposed to
100 resources of the form URxvt.keysym, were not officially allowed but
101 accepted, so ignoring them is considered a regression.
102 - new option/resource -rm/rewrapMode, which sets the line rewrap
103 mode to auto, never or always.
104 - new option/resource -dpb/disablePasteBrackets, which can be used to
105 disable bracketed paste mode sequences, as more and more programs
106 abuse these sequences (typically in the name of security, but these
107 sequences are not improving security). Also, bracketed paste mode
108 is now under frills.
109 - add manpage for urclock.
110 - confirm-paste wrongly considered brackets as ctrlchars (patch by
111 Jakub Wilk, debian bug #995244).
112 - if urxvt cannot detect a good estimate for font width (because a font does
113 not contain latin characters at all for example), it will now fall
114 back to xft's max_advance_width, which works well with some fonts. It
115 currently will warn about this.
116 - do not render variation selectors in the default font as boxes, treat
117 them as zero-width characters.
118 - change combining character architecture to allow fonts to handle
119 combining sequences on their own. This could allow future renderers
120 to be more intelligent about these sequences.
121 - use the previous enhancement to allow unicode characters outside of the
122 BMP to be rendered even without --enable-unicode3, as long as an
123 xft with the character is configured.
124 It's recommended to stay with disabled unicode3 even more now.
125 - freetype/xft have been verified to return nonsensical offsets for
126 combining characters. urxvt tries to compensate to some extent,
127 but diacritics will be slightly off in many cases, and far off in
128 some cases (e.g. input mono).
129 - when checking for overlap/careful handling, take non-basefont
130 character shifts into account.
131 - extensions can now request autoloading on OSC and Perl OSC sequences,
132 implement this for the background, clipboard-osc and overlay-osc
133 extensions.
134 - the background extension will now be autoloaded when the OSC 20 or 705
135 sequence is received.
136 - added OSC 776 sequence to return character cell width, height and font
137 ascent, which is useful when using urxvt as slave to calculate window
138 size form or to row/column count.
139 - matcher extension documentation now points out some requirements for
140 regular expressions. the default url matching regex will now try
141 to match IRLs in addition to URLs.
142 - The view_start perl method now scrolls to the bottom also when the
143 argument is greater than 0.
144 - eval scroll actions now scroll to the bottom when scrolling down and
145 there are less lines to scroll than the ones requested (reported by
146 Stephen Talley).
147 - allow perl-ext and perl-ext-common to override autoloaded extensions.
148 this allows tabbed to disable itself in subtabs, avoiding recursive
149 loading.
150 - update precompose table to unicode 13.0.
151 - update charset conversion tables to perl 5.32 (this only affected
152 cs_koi8_u_from_unicode).
153 - unicode characters > 0x100000 were not handled correctly w.r.t.
154 font rendering.
155 - replace bitstream vera by dejavu sans, as it has replaced the former
156 almost everywhere.
157 - urxvt will now try tic -x first and only fall back to tic without -x
158 when tic -x fails.
159 - fix urclock not erasing the old date on the clock face, causing
160 overdraw, plus a host of other small fixes and improvements.
161 - shave off over 1K of code size from urclock by replacing the sine table
162 with a slightly less accurate fixed point approximation.
163 - do not specify indentation with =over in pod, this is no longer
164 needed with semi-modern pod tools and gives the formatter more
165 stylistic freedom.
166 - background extension did not set the "size-sensitive" flag
167 when repeat mode wasn't normal.
168 - extensions are now subjected to "use strict 'subs'".
169 - avoid crashing when xft successfully opens a font but then somehow
170 can't lock the face.
171 - locale_decode/encode api methods now pass through undef unchanged.
172 - fix undefined behaviour in the perl hook function, as diagnosed by clang.
173
174 9.26 Fri May 14 19:14:14 CEST 2021
175 - ev_iouring.c was wrongly required during compilation, and wrongly
176 not packaged.
177
178 9.25 Fri May 14 15:51:36 CEST 2021
179 - for the 17.5th anniversary, and because many distributions seem to
180 remove rxvt in favour of urxvt, this release resurrects rclock as
181 urclock.
182 - add support for systemd socket-based activation - debian bug #917105,
183 freebsd bug #234276.
184 - do not destruct perl on exit anymore: this might fail for a variety of
185 reasons, and takes unnecessary time.
186 - remove any macros from urxvtperl manpage(s), should fix debian
187 bug 858385.
188 - the old bg image resources are now provided by the background
189 extension, and perl is thus required for bg image support. No
190 configuration change is needed: urxvt autoloads the background
191 ext if any bg image resource/option is present (for OSC sequences to
192 work you need to enable it explicitly). The old bg image
193 resources are also now deprecated; users are encouraged to
194 switch to the new bg image interface (see man urxvt-background).
195 - confirm-paste now checks for any ctlchars, not just newlines.
196 - searchable scrollback will now ignore bracketed paste mode sequences
197 (prompted by Daniel Gröber's patch).
198 - drop ISO 2022 locale support. ISO 2022 encodings are not supported in
199 POSIX locales and clash with vt100 charset emulation (the luit
200 program can be used as a substitute).
201 - perl didn't parse rgba colours specified as an array correctly,
202 only allowing 0 and 100% intensity for each component (this affected
203 fill and tint).
204 - when iterating over resources, urxvt will now try to properly handle
205 multipart resources (such as "*background.expr"), for the benefit
206 of autoloading perl extensions.
207 - ESC G (query rxvt graphics mode) has been disabled due to security
208 implications. The rxvt graphics mode was removed in rxvt-unicode 1.5,
209 and no programs relying on being able to query the mode are known.
210 - work around API change breakage in perl 5.28, based on a patch by
211 Roman Bogorodskiy.
212 - improved security: rob nation's (obsolete) graphics mode queries
213 no longer reply with linefeed in secure/default mode.
214 - ISO 8613-3 direct colour SGR sequences (patch by Fengguang Wu).
215 - xterm focus reporting mode (patch by Daniel Hahler).
216 - xterm SGR mouse mode.
217 - implement DECRQM. Patch by Přemysl Eric Janouch.
218 - add missing color index parameter to OSC 4 response. Patch
219 by Přemysl Eric Janouch.
220 - in some window managers, if smart resize was enabled, urxvt
221 erroneously moved the window on font change - awesome bug
222 #532, arch linux bug ##34807 (patch by Uli Schlachter).
223 - fix urxvtd crash when using a background expression.
224 - properly restore colors when using fading and reverse video
225 is enabled while urxvt is focused and then disabled while it
226 is not focused, or vice versa (patch by Daniel Hahler).
227 - fix high memory usage when an extension repeatedly hides and
228 shows an overlay (reported by Marcel Lautenbach).
229 - expose priv_modes member and constants to perl extensions
230 (patch by Rastislav Barlik).
231 - fix a whole slew of const sillyness, unfortunately forced upon
232 us by ISO C++.
233 - update to libecb 0x00010006.
234 - disable all thread support in ecb.h as we presumably don't need it.
235 - slightly improve Makefile source dependencies.
236 - work around bugs in newer Pod::Xhtml versions (flags incorrect formatting codes
237 in xhtml/html sections but does not interpret correct ones).
238
239 9.22 Sat Jan 23 21:07:33 CET 2016
240 - NOTICE: this release updates terminfo.
241 - add terminfo capabilities for various ctrl and shift-ctrl key variants
242 (patch by Sebastian Schmidt).
243 - fix longstanding core font encoding bug where some character
244 ranges could not be mapped from unicode to the font: affected
245 encodings are big5, gb2312, iso8859-8 (hebrew), jis0201 and
246 ksc5601 (reported by Mikachu).
247 - fix crash when the number of columns is 1 and a 0 width character is inserted
248 (reported by Kuang-che Wu).
249 - fix a crash when parsing an invalid color specification (reported by Kuang-che Wu).
250 - fix a buffer overflow in font name parser (reported by Kuang-che Wu).
251 - do not start blinking cursor if the window is unfocused (reported by
252 Devin J. Pohly).
253 - change the width of underline and i-beam cursor to 2 pixels (based on
254 a patch by Omar Sandoval).
255 - add pointerShape resource to change the mouse pointer shape
256 (based on a patch by Brian Watson).
257 - a keysym resource for a key which is already bound to an
258 action now properly rebinds the key.
259 - do not report mouse motion events if Shift is active (patch by Daniel Hahler).
260 - put the alpha component last in responses to OSC color queries
261 (patch by Benjamin Herr).
262 - the key_press hook is now invoked before processing the
263 event, as documented. This change was done in 9.21 but not
264 announced and fixes debian bugs #511377, #531751 and red hat
265 bug #1105069. Note that this change breaks a few scripts,
266 such as mark-yank-urls, which rely on the previous buggy
267 behaviour that urxvt processes the event (in particular
268 keysym bindings) before invoking the hook.
269 - the tabbed extension now properly refreshes the active tab
270 on a key press when the mouse pointer is outside the terminal
271 window.
272 - add 'lookup_keysym' perl method to lookup the action bound
273 to a key combination.
274 - a key combination bound to 'matcher:select' can now be used
275 to cycle through the matches in matcher.
276 - change perl integer accessors (->width et al.) into mutators.
277 - this version has ben verified to work with perl 5.8.3.
278
279 9.21 Wed Dec 31 14:50:03 CET 2014
280 - the "moa redraw 8-bit british vintage colour management" release.
281 - NOTICE: this release updates terminfo.
282 - fix pixel droppings on overdraw when a secondary core font has the
283 same height but different ascent.
284 - implement cvvis in terminfo as blinking cursor, to distinguish it
285 from cnorm (emacs uses cvvis which is commonly a blinking cursor).
286 - when xft support was compiled in, colour queries erroneously returned
287 premultiplied values, this also affected internal queries, for example
288 when calculating faded colour. alpha is now divided out when possible,
289 which is more correct but loses colour resolution.
290 - add DECSCUSR xterm extension to set the cursor to a vertical bar.
291 - add 'extension:string' action, and associated on_action perl
292 hook, for keysym resources that invokes actions provided by
293 perl extensions. The 'perl:string' action and
294 on_user_command hook are deprecated but still supported.
295 - add 'builtin-string' action for keysym resources that restores string
296 mappings for keys that have predefined actions in urxvt.
297 - add -k option to urxvtc for killing the daemon process.
298 - document urxvtd's -e/--eval option that was implemented in 9.16,
299 but not documented.
300 - add -dockapp option to make the wm treat urxvt as a dockapp.
301 - add -mc option and multiClickTime resource to set the maximum time
302 between multi-click select events (patch by Joe Peterson).
303 - new 'eval' extension to evaluate arbitrary perl code with keysym
304 bindings. The extension also provides methods that implement basic
305 actions, such as pasting selections and scrolling.
306 - the macosx-clipboard and macosx-clipboard-native extensions have been removed.
307 - kuake extension now uses the kuake.hotkey resource to specify the hotkey.
308 - new 'matcher:select' mode of matcher to iterate over the matches with the keyboard.
309 - the 'matcher:list' feature of matcher now honours the launcher
310 associated to a matched pattern.
311 - speed-up matcher underlining on very long lines (reported by Edward Z. Yang).
312 - fix up/down commands of searchable-scrollback so that they always move
313 to the previous/next logical line with a match, if any.
314 - searchable-scrollback resource has been deprecated (use keysym instead).
315 - extension parameter passing is deprecated (use resource mechanism instead).
316 - upgrade to GPLv3 (see COPYING).
317 - compile out of the box on Solaris 10, again.
318 - fix height and position of the stippled area in next scrollbar (patch
319 by Thomas Otto).
320 - fix off-by-one bug causing the iso14755 window not to jump out of the
321 way properly.
322 - fix crash that may happen if a lib to which urxvt is linked to calls setenv.
323 - fix memory leak in special_{encode,decode} perl methods.
324 - fix refresh bug that occurs when reverse video is set on a cell
325 containing a space and with the same bg and fg colour, red hat bug
326 #830236.
327 - fix crash that may happen if an x error is received after a terminal
328 window/popup has been destroyed already.
329 - removed superfluous 0 digit from sgr terminfo sequence.
330 - greatly improve colour allocation on colour-starved pseudocolour
331 displays to avoid read-write cells instead of simply failing
332 (this is only relevant for antique 8bpp frame buffers).
333 - do not free fade colours when not doing fading (this is likely
334 only relevant for antique 8bpp frame buffers).
335 - do not specialcase 2 or 4 colour visuals, leading to
336 simpler and actually more correct code.
337 - hopefully no longer leak colours on !truecolour visuals.
338 - use consistent method names (scr_recolour => scr_recolor).
339 - use simpler (but slightly less bogus) formula for nearest
340 colour choice (this is likely only relevant for antique 8bpp
341 frame buffers).
342 - remove fallback behaviour when initialising colours - the
343 behaviour was inconsistent between startup vs. later and
344 was only effective when valid colours couldn't be allocated.
345
346 9.20 Sat Apr 26 16:22:27 CEST 2014
347 - (libptytty) fix bug that prevented urxvtd from writing utmp
348 entries when using --fork (reported by Ryan Kavanagh).
349 - security bugfix: window property values could be queried even
350 in secure mode (reported by Conor McCarthy).
351 - fix build when perl is enabled and fading is disabled.
352 - fix regression that broke continuous scrolling when pressing
353 and holding the scrollbar up or down button, gentoo bug #493992.
354 - increase the maximum length of a command sequence to 32k bytes,
355 to allow longer OSC sequences (previous limit was 2k).
356 - new Ctrl-Meta-c and Ctrl-Meta-v bindings to interact with
357 the CLIPBOARD selection.
358 - new extension: selection-to-clipboard.
359 - the extensions macosx-clipboard and macosx-clipboard-native
360 are deprecated and will be removed in the next release.
361 Support for the clipboard on OS X can be more generally
362 enabled by setting the XQuartz preference to sync the OS X
363 pasteboard and the X11 clipboard.
364
365 9.19 Sun Oct 27 17:16:07 CET 2013
366 - work around perl 5.18.0 breakage in tabbed extension
367 (reported by Karol Blazewicz) and in pod (Dominic Hargreaves).
368 - fix regression that caused the double-click word selection to
369 erroneously include a tab on the left of the selected word.
370 - implement FOCUS variable and focus_fade function in background
371 expression, to allow focus-sensitive background images.
372 - add support for the set cursor style (DECSCUSR) control
373 function.
374 - honour cursorColor also when the cursor style is underline.
375 - export some Color_xxx constants to Perl.
376
377 9.18 Sun Mar 24 15:33:35 CET 2013
378 - fix regression that caused artifacts on resize.
379
380 9.17 Fri Mar 1 13:46:08 CET 2013
381 - add shade operator in background perl extension.
382 - avoid starting or ending the selection in the middle of wide
383 characters to avoid artifacts (reported by Tiago Resende).
384 - fix artifacts that may occur if the character in the cursor
385 cell has width > 1 (reported by Tiago Resende).
386 - fix regression that causes artifacts on scrolling if
387 saveLines is 0 and the window is resized (reported by Bert
388 Münnich).
389 - fix build when perl is enabled and pixbuf and transparency
390 are disabled.
391
392 9.16 Thu Dec 27 11:56:43 CET 2012
393 - the "so much new stuff your eyes will pop out" release.
394 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: renamed urlLauncher resource to url-launcher.
395 - fix processing of DEC private mode save sequences (patch by Patrick
396 Hemmer).
397 - perl extensions now have their own manpages, installed as urxvt-NAME(1),
398 e.g. urxvt-background(1) - see urxvt-extensions(1) for a list.
399 - fix disabling of cursor blink with the option-popup menu (based on a
400 patch by Jan Larres).
401 - the font height is not augmented anymore when lineSpace is non zero.
402 - fix "new pagemap" vs. "delete pagemap" mismatch ([] vs. non-[]),
403 as diagnosed by clang.
404 - fix height mismatch between active and inactive cursor when
405 lineSpace is non zero (patch by Stanislav Seletskiy).
406 - make it compile with LOCAL_X_IS_UNIX again (reported by
407 nickfailure@gmail.com).
408 - completely redone background pixmap support - users can now
409 specify arbitrary expressions (And programs) that calculate
410 new terminal backgrounds. see the urxvt-background manpage
411 for details.
412 - xrender is now required for background pixmap support.
413 - perl extensions can now provide commandline switches and resources
414 which show up in -help etc.
415 - iso14755 51 mode window now displays row and column.
416 - implement a -visual switch and move that and -depth to frills, also
417 warn when we can't get the requested visual.
418 - new env variable: RXVT_PERL_LIB.
419 - allocate all screen memory in one go and let the virtual memory
420 subsystem sort it out. this simplifies code, improves access
421 locality, saves a bit of ram and makes things a bit faster, too.
422 - remove support for libafterimage.
423 - update to CVS version of libev, for a whopping 11kb size decrease.
424 - do not ship yet another copy of ecb.h, use the one in libev or
425 libptytty instead.
426 - selectively mark some methods as cache-hot/cache cold, which
427 might speed up execution but definitely decreases codesize.
428 - Fix regression that prevented the scrollbar trough color
429 from being applied (reported by Derek B. Noonburg).
430 - Fix the scrollbar size for rxvt style (patch by Mark Robinson).
431
432 9.15 Sat Jan 21 13:36:56 CET 2012
433 - remove "using namespace std" because clang erroneously
434 thinks thats an error.
435 - finding a matching font (e.g. bold version of the base font)
436 was broken (reported by Eamon Walker).
437 - fix parsing of bg image styles. They really work now.
438 - fix blurring of bg image borders when using xrender.
439 - fix xrender blur on common xrender implementations that do
440 not behave correctly when the same pixmap is used as source
441 and destination in composite operations.
442 - fix regression that caused tabbed to compute the wrong size
443 for tabs.
444 - allow again an empty suffix in a keysym list spec (patch by
445 Sung Pae).
446 - unsupported support for sun studio's CC added.
447 - fix -C option on solaris.
448
449 9.14 Wed Dec 21 18:40:33 CET 2011
450 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: the urxvtd default socket path is now
451 $HOME/.urxvt/urxvtd-<nodename>.
452 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: the "list" keysym expansion now requires
453 loading of the "keysym-list" perl extension.
454 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: A scale value of 0 in the bg image
455 geometry no longer enables tiling, so as to make it possible
456 to disable both scaling and tiling.
457 - overhaul of the bg image operations. The old operations have
458 been deprecated in favour of elementary operations and
459 styles built on top of the new operations and scale/position
460 settings. (Emanuele Giaquinta).
461 - support for libafterimage is deprecated and will be removed
462 in the next release.
463 - fix a crash caused by selection_check not properly resetting
464 out-of-bounds mark values (can happen when extending a selection
465 while scrolling up in curses programs for example).
466 - do not move the selection when scrolling up and the selection is
467 outside the scrolling region (Emanuele Giaquinta).
468 - fix display of bold bright black (reported by Ben Winslow).
469 - fix memory leak when urgentOnBell is set (patch by Nathaniel
470 Filardo).
471 - fix a redraw bug that occurs when a bg pixmap is set and the
472 wm does not honour the size hints set by urxvt. Now urxvt
473 forces the size of the terminal window to be a multiple of
474 the cell size.
475 - sanitise the argument of SD / SU sequences. Fixes a possible
476 crash when the argument is big enough, red hat bug #711137
477 (Emanuele Giaquinta).
478 - correctly split long lines when scrolling.
479 - urxvt now looks for perl extensions also in $HOME/.urxvt/ext.
480 - add bell-command perl extension to execute a command when a
481 bell event occurs (Ryan Kavanagh).
482 - add set_urgency perl binding to set/reset the urgency hint.
483 - consume button release event in matcher (exg).
484 - keyboard accessible list of recent matches in matcher
485 (Bob Farrell).
486 - properly process 'keysym' sequences in tabbed when using
487 'focus follows mouse' and the focus is on the main window
488 but not on the active terminal window (patch by Martin
489 Pohlack).
490 - support for the freedesktop startup-notification protocol (patch by
491 Michael Stapelberg).
492 - the direction of VPR and VPB commands was reversed.
493 - fix alignment of inherited root pixmap when it is a different size
494 than the root window and the terminal window is off the left or top
495 edge (Mikachu).
496 - make $self visible in "eval perl expression" popup action, also
497 handle exceptions better.
498 - fix parsing of '-e' when it occurs as an option argument, such as in
499 'urxvt -title -e' (Emanuele Giaquinta).
500
501 9.12 Wed Jun 29 14:34:28 CEST 2011
502 - fix regression in processing of SelectionNotify events.
503 urxvt would fail to request a selection if the owner did not
504 support the UTF8_STRING target.
505 - fix rendering of double width chars in certain circumstances, more
506 likely to happen if urxvt is compiled with 256 colors support as
507 urxvt runs out of fonts much earlier then. Fixes gentoo bug #358151
508 (Emanuele Giaquinta).
509 - restore support for 'list' syntax in keysym resources (requested by Sung Pae).
510 - always premultiply colour values - while this increases differences between
511 core fonts and xft, it is "more correct" in practical situations.
512 - disable PTYTTY_REENTRANT option - not needed for urxvt and saves a bit of code.
513 - remove lucidatypewriter from the list of fallback fonts, it was the only
514 non-xft non-cellfont in the list anyway.
515
516 9.11 Mon May 2 10:34:46 CEST 2011
517 - fix compilation on GNU/Hurd, debian bug #624736.
518 - remove 'list' syntax for keysym resources, as it serves no useful purpose.
519 If you need it, poke us and provide a use case.
520 - fix alpha channel support. Premultiply alpha in colours if the visual
521 supports an alpha channel, as xrender expects premultiplied alpha
522 (Emanuele Giaquinta).
523 - fix reply to a selection request sent by an obsolete client
524 such as syncterm (patch by Marcin Cieslak).
525 - fix crash when the window is resized and the overlay is active
526 (Emanuele Giaquinta, reported by Ryan Kavanagh).
527 - match character-wise rather than byte-wise in selection
528 extension again. perl 5.8.9+ is required to avoid extreme
529 slowdowns. Fixes debian bugs #523072, #616463.
530 - fix a possible crash if the INCR transfer process for a
531 selection property timeouts and at least one chunk is
532 received. (Emanuele Giaquinta)
533 - work around a memory corruption bug in xorg's XrmSetDatabase (apparently
534 broken since http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/xorg-commit-diffs/2004-March/000239.html).
535 - fix memory corruption bug when custom command sequences bound to keys
536 were injected into an already-full pty input buffer.
537 - gdk-pixbuf is autodetected by default and preferred over libafterimage.
538 - do not prepend a newline to the selection text when the starting line
539 of the selection is not highlighted (Emanuele Giaquinta).
540 - don't swap perl env with real env, save and restore it, just in case
541 we ever get recursive perl invocations. also saves a bit of codespace
542 with gcc.
543 - fix various memory leaks (Emanuele Giaquinta).
544 - fix typo in kIC terminfo capability, debian bug #446444.
545 - document 'thickness' resource.
546 - fix debian bug #504817, to the extent possible.
547 - try to detect byte order at compile time, saves a couple of
548 hundred bytes, if your compiler is smart enough.
549 - add support for previewing the pasted data in confirm-paste
550 (Emanuele Giaquinta).
551 - added "newlines to spaces" option in selection-popup.
552 - actually enabled solaris event ports backend (was disabled by accident).
553 - revert to 38400 baud max., mission accomplished.
554 - no longer create scary "pty_fill: PLEASE REPORT" message, instead,
555 silently drain the input (problem is well understood now).
556 - no longer swallow rob nation's own graphics mode commands.
557
558 9.10 Mon Dec 13 17:43:52 CET 2010
559 - the "schmorp=north korea dickey=south korea" release.
560 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: make OSC 20 simpler and more correct
561 (Emanuele Giaquinta).
562 - if options were compiled out, this could lead to the option
563 count to be defined wrongly. This is likely behind the
564 failures with gcc 4.5.
565 - explicitly depend on fontconfig and xrender when xft support
566 is enabled. Although the public Xft api uses types from
567 both, in Xft 2.2.0 these libs are private
568 dependencies only thanks to an idiotic behaviour of
569 pkg-config that was added to workaround cases like this one.
570 Fixes linking when using GNU ld with --as-needed or GNU gold
571 (based on patch by Jan Palus).
572 - fix minor memory leaks in urxvt and urxvtd.
573 - fix regression in urxvtd that prevented options from being correctly
574 set (reported by Michal Vaner).
575 - implement xterm's horribly broken 1005 mouse reporting mode,
576 and an alternative 1015 mode that works in non-utf-8 locales
577 and has fewer limitations.
578 - fix a possible bug where mouse notifications didn't work after
579 startup for the upper left corner.
580 - implement our own pixbuf to pixmap rendering to get rid of
581 dependency on buggy gdk-pixbuf-xlib. Only truecolor visuals
582 are supported (Emanuele Giaquinta).
583 - apply tinting before shading when both operations are requested.
584 Previously they were intermixed when lightening and the result
585 was inaccurate and confusing. Note that now a black tint yields a
586 completely black image, regardless of shading (Emanuele Giaquinta).
587 - avoid spurious redraws of the bg image when bg is transparent or
588 when using 'root' mode (Emanuele Giaquinta).
589 - fix build on XFree86.
590 - dynamically number options according to compiletime requirements.
591 For the extra saved byte. Or so. Yay.
592 - start options at one, not zero. Wastes a bit per terminal. Maybe.
593 saves 50 instruction bytes. Possibly.
594
595 9.09 Sat Nov 13 01:39:07 CET 2010
596 - NOTICE: this release updates terminfo/termcap.
597 - the bestest release ever.

600 - add support for using gdk-pixbuf as image backend (Emanuele Giaquinta).
601 - cleanup and minor fixes of the image code (Emanuele Giaquinta).
602 - new perl extension "confirm-paste" (Emanuele Giaquinta).
603 - new on_tt_paste perl hook and tt_paste perl binding (Emanuele Giaquinta).
604 - new on_bell perl hook (Emanuele Giaquinta).
605 - searchable-scrollback no longer ignores the first line
606 (Emanuele Giaquinta).
607 - properly set VSTATUS in termios for *BSD (reported by Ed Schouten).
608 - fix utmpx detection on upcoming FreeBSD 9.
609 - Use COMPOUND_TEXT encoding for WM_NAME/WM_ICON_NAME value when it
610 is not fully convertible to STRING (patch by James Cloos).
611 - fix a buffer overflow that would cause wrong key sequences to
612 be generated for numpad keys (introduced in 9.05).
613 - fix definition of sgr0 to work around limitations in luit.
614 - extend ISO 14755 5.4 mode to also print the font name of the
615 characters other than first one in the selected cell
616 (Emanuele Giaquinta).
617 - new iso14755 option to disable ISO 14755 at runtime
618 (Emanuele Giaquinta).
619 - make sure pagewise scrolling scrolls at least one line
620 (found by Mikachu).
621 - remove deprecated OSC 18 / 19 and make OSC 17 / 19 apply to
622 highlightColor / highlightTextColor (Emanuele Giaquinta).
623 - add highlightTextColor resource to change the foreground colour of
624 highlighted characters (Emanuele Giaquinta).
625 - make highlightColor apply also to selected cells with reverse video
626 but not to non selected cells with reverse video (Emanuele Giaquinta).
627 - remove colorRV resource (it was enabled only with frills off).
628 - fix numlock handling, the most longstanding bug to date (Emanuele Giaquinta).
629 - reduce the number of custom bits to 4, to make room
630 for 256 colours.
631 - add support for 256 colors (Emanuele Giaquinta, Marc Lehmann).
632 - add rxvt-unicode-256color terminfo and use it by default in 256 colors mode.
633 - update rxvt-unicode terminfo to state 7744 colour pairs to cover all
634 88*88 possible pairs.
635 - actually added macosx-clipboard-native, which should have been in
636 the 9.07 release but had been forgotten.
637 - fix hang if DECAWM is not set and there are not enough columns to insert a
638 character (Emanuele Giaquinta).
639 - cub1 ("backspace") will now respect wrapping when past the rightmost column,
640 working around a shortcoming of most tty line discipline's line editing.
641 - add support for grabbing the clipboard selection and extend
642 selection{_clear,_grab,} perl bindings to optionally work
643 on the clipboard selection (based on patch by Dana Jansens).
644 - no longer force CERASE to BACKSPACE - use the system default. affects
645 default value for VERASE only when no compatible setting for
646 backspacekey was given.
647 - use higher than 38400 baudrate setting, if detected.
648 - erase screen would clear to the wrong background when blinking
649 was enabled (which selects high intensity under some circumstances).
650 - scr_kill_char didn't touch the line.
651 - upgrade and port to libev-4.01.
652 - enabled solaris event ports and kqueue backends (if available).
653
654 9.07 Wed Dec 30 07:07:18 CET 2009
655 - port to glibc-2.10 changes (strchr etc. returning const char *
656 in C++), based on patches by Milos Jakubicek and Oliver Mader.
657 - the binary search algorithm to find precomposed characters
658 was faulty, skipping some possible combinations (found by
659 Mikachu).
660 - new -letterspace option, patch by Mark H. Wilkinson.
661 - enable --mlock option for urxvt with frills on
662 systems supporting it (patch by Russell Harmon).
663 - urxvt did not compile without frills enabled
664 (analysed by Matthew Rosewarne).
665 - correctly reset the mbstate after an illegal
666 input sequence when handling terminal output (Emanuele Giaquinta).
667 - avoid redrawing wide characters with combining enabled on every
668 refresh (reported by Mikachu).
669 - fix a typo preventing the ISO-646.1991 character set from being
670 recognized (http://achurch.org/patch-pile/).
671 - better warning for x11 font encoding detection failures, also,
672 try to deduce encoding from both font properties and name
673 (adapted from http://achurch.org/patch-pile/).
674 - resizing the window with the scrollbar disabled via the escapes
675 sequence could make the window bigger again (Mikachu).
676 - make sure the alignment for fd passing control messages
677 is correct and work around some NetBSD issues (Taylor R Campbell).
678 - update to libptytty 1.3.
679 - replace macosx-clipboard by a nicer version by Reza Jelveh, and move
680 the old version to macosx-clipboard-native.
681 - document the -uc option (Emanuele Giaquinta).
682 - assertions in libev are now enabled depending on frills.
683 - update AnyEvent implementation to version 5.23 API.
684 - work around arrogant bsd idiocies again: netbsd spills the default
685 namespace with lots of symbols "for gnu/gcc compatibility" even
686 though neither of them does it, and then calls the rest of the world
687 in need of fixing. go figure.
688 - on_keyboard_command is on_user_command (patch by Michael Witten).
689 - setting the selection from perl will now reset the selection screen
690 to the current screen. the screen can be manipulated using
691 the new ->selection_screen method.
692 - implement --enable-assert configure option and get rid of DEBUG_STRICT
693 (based on patch by Emanuele Giaquinta).
694 - fix printpipe data output (patch by Emanuele Giaquinta).
695 - allow `xxx' quoting style for perl selection.
696 - upgrade to libev-3.9 prerelease.
697 - updated compose tables to unicode 5.2.0.
698
699 9.06 Sat Nov 8 17:47:18 CET 2008
700 - NOTICE: this release updates terminfo/termcap.
701 - updates libev to 3.48.
702 - the aterm code now frees the as visual and image manager objects
703 when a window was closed.
704 - do not (wrongly) adjust the virtual line length inside
705 scr_insdel_chars/ERASE (Miroslav Lichvar).
706 - fix an issue where wide tab characters caused character shifts
707 when part of them was deleted (tracked down by Miroslav Lichvar).
708 - artificially enlargen the previous character at the end of a line
709 when trying to output a character that doesn't fit. looks ugly, but
710 makes copy&paste work.
711 - remove bogus "setuid/setgid security issues" from rxvt.1.pod, they
712 no longer apply.
713 - the urgency hint is now cleared on both focus in and focus out.
714 - cache urgency hint locally to avoid server rtt on every focus change.
715 - perl 5.10 needs PERL_SYS_INIT3 on hppa.
716 - ignore byte-order marks and do not treat them like combining characters.
717 - fix build issue when CURSOR_BLINK is not defined (Emanuele Giaquinta).
718 - do some µ-optimisations to the character fast path.
719 - use a less cunning, but more robust algorithm to avoid one terminal
720 monopolising the whole process by outputting a lot of text.
721 - try to work around linux first breaking sched_yield and now breaking
722 the only known workaround.
723 - new option -icon to set _NET_WM_ICON (based on patch by Frank Schmitt).
724 - initialise the as visual only on demand, instead of unconditionally,
725 to save memory in the common case of not using visual gimmicks.
726 - try to work around bugs in a few wm's that erroneously resize
727 client windows on hint property updates by temporarily
728 disabling size hints.
729 - implement the DECSTR soft reset sequence and use it for tput init,
730 and make hard RIS and DECSTR both reset more private modes, such
731 as mouse reporting.
732 - redundantly clear mouse reporting and a few other states in
733 tput init/tput reset, for older urxvts.
734 - partial/full clear screens did cause flickering and possibly pixel
735 droppings when urxvt viewed the scrollback buffer.
736 - use current rendition style in DCH sequence.
737 - the 132/80 mode switch no longer forces a screen reset.
738 - add an osc sequence to change the border colour (Emanuele Giaquinta).
739 - new perl extension "overlay-osc", for status displays and the like.
740 - fix some minor cursor drawing issues with overlays by allowing
741 overlays to modify screen flags (to disable the cursor themselves).
742 - work around programs not restoring rstyle before rmcup
743 (analysed by Miroslav Lichvar).
744
745 9.05 Sun Jun 15 20:09:20 CEST 2008
746 - new option --cd/chdir to set the starting working directory.
747 - tabbed extension now starts in the "correct" working directory.
748 - work around fedora 9 providing isastream but not the relevant
749 header file for it (report by Tuncer Ayaz).
750 - upgrade libev, fixing a bug in the select backend.
751 with more than 31 file descriptors on non-linux 64 bit systems.
752 - correctly reset the multibyte state to the initial one
753 after EILSEQ (patch by Neil Booth). This fixes the
754 issue of rxvt-unicode not properly displaying text after an illegal
755 sequence on NetBSD and probably other systems.
756 - more intelligent property handling with -pe tabbed, works around
757 broken window managers (kwm et al.), saves bandwidth and should
758 help working window managers as well.
759 - made tabs moveable (based on a patch by Petr Machata).
760 - implement ESC [ 3 K as a more rational alternative to ESC [ 0 K.
761 - support relative paths for RXVT_SOCKET in urxvtd.
762 - the tabbed extension now blindly copies over all (rxvt-) resources
763 from the toplevel window to the children.
764 - better diagnostic on 0x0 window geometries.
765 - update AnyEvent API to version 3.4 and above.
766 - document the default value of :0 for DISPLAY.

770 - the "exg makes everybody happy" release.
771 - fix build with !xft.
772 - always compile in plain style scrollbar (simplifies code and looks great).
773
774 9.01 Sat Jan 26 20:49:27 CET 2008
775 - be more aggressive about handling X events, this seems to be required
776 with newer xlibs (should fix the "screen stays black until event is
777 received" problem, again :)
778 - add buffered resource to control xft double-buffering.
779
780 9.0 Fri Jan 25 19:34:04 CET 2008
781 - fix a crash bug where urxvtd would crash when urxvtc was called
782 with wrong arguments (I wish debian maintainers in general would
783 report bugs and their proposed fixes to the original package maintainers
784 instead of sitting on them for good measure to see if anybody notices).
785 - drawing xft compose characters was causing garbage to be drawn.
786 - correctly clear xft character background in all cases.
787 - implement bracketed paste mode (xterm private mode 2004).
788 - improve documentation on alpha channel handling, make urxvt
789 work better on servers lacking the RENDER extension when alpha
790 channels or background images are used.
791 - check for refresh after initialising to avoid staying blank
792 till the first event arrives. or so.
793 - the FORCE_UNBUFFERED_XFT feature macro works again.
794 - continuously update transparency while moving/resizing now.
795 - OSC 39/49 are deprecated and aliased to OSC 10/11.
796 - cub1 now acts as advertised (and ignores the "wrapped" state).
797 - the 132/80 mode switch now forces a height of 24, too, and
798 resets the terminal.
799 - scrollbar code cleanups.
800 - stopping children is no longer confused with children exiting.
801 - removed (undocumented) #aarrggbb format.
802 - updated to libev 3.0.
803
804 8.9 Mon Dec 24 07:51:40 CET 2007
805 - fix the issue where urxvtd would not immediately close a window
806 when the command exited but only on the next X event.
807 - changed terminfo file not to use application keypad mode.
808 - fix the issue where making a selection in one urxvtd window
809 would not clear it visually in another.
810 - fix an issue of urxvt not getting background pixmap updates
811 and flickering after bg pixmap changes (reported by Mikachu).
812 - fix redraw bug in xterm scrollbar with -sr (reported by Mikachu).
813 - correctly provide dependencies for libev (µikachu).
814 - minor code reorganisations and cleanups.
815 - be more robust in case the urxvt-popup extension cannot be loaded.
816
817 8.8 Sat Dec 15 19:40:39 CET 2007
818 - option -C was aliased to all unsupported options, activating
819 options that shouldn't be compiled in, leading to interesting
820 effects.
821 - updated libev, working around a bug in linux 2.4, curing the
822 symptom of urxvt not closing its window on shell exit. also
823 fixes a problem with urxvt not refreshing.
824 - the text blink callback was called even when no blinking
825 text was visible.
826 - pre-8.4 slipwheeling behaviour has been reinstated, with
827 some minor improvements.
828 - streamlined x events processing to only flush once per
829 display and not once per terminal window.
830 - quite a bit of minor code cleanups and codesize optimisations.
831
832 8.7 Sun Nov 25 10:23:49 CET 2007
833 - update libev with an important bugfix that would cause crashes
834 when closing windows (when using rxvtd, and update is recommended).
835 - do not compile in the block builtin graphics with --disable-frills.
836
837 8.6 Fri Nov 23 14:10:57 CET 2007
838 - upgrade libev to disable kqueue on anything but netbsd as it
839 seems to be broken everywhere else w.r.t. ptys.
840 - allow for spurious event notifications, as at least epoll and
841 especially solaris ports like to lie about them (symptoms:
842 urxvt "hangs" until there is some x11 related activity).
843 - -keysym command line options are now subjected to xlib parsing.
844 - add 'xrm' option analogous to Xt one.
845
846 8.5a Wed Nov 21 10:16:33 CET 2007
847 - make it compile with --disable-transparency.
848
849 8.5 Wed Nov 21 05:19:20 CET 2007
850 - expect major portability issues in this release: please test and report.
851 - converted from the veritable io manager event loop to
852 the high performance libev (http://software.schmorp.de/pkg/libev).
853 - minor tuning to the perl selection (include single words and more quoting chars).
854 - fix memory leak in pixmap code.
855 - fix a serious bug while setting the XIM destroy callback
856 on (typical) 64 bit systems.
857 - automove-background functionality re-implemented internally using :root op in pixmap
858 geometry string. For example: rxvt -pixmap "image.jpg;:root"
859 - do not link rxvtc against every lib on the planet anymore.
860 - parallel builds should work once more.
861
862 8.4 Sat Oct 27 14:02:13 CEST 2007
863 - overhaul of the transparency/pixmap code (sasha).
864 - fix possible race between visual bell and poweron.
865 (reported by Martin von Gagern, gentoo?).
866 - urxvt -e no longer crashes the child.
867 - fixed some minor memleaks on incorrect usage or
868 missing DISPLAY.
869 - implement xterm 1002/1003 mouse tracking modes (exg).
870 - source code organisational cleanups (exg).
871 - updated io_manager.
872
873 8.3 Wed Aug 1 20:21:31 CEST 2007
874 - new option: skipScroll/-ss, enabled by default.
875 - go with the times and expect x11 library files in /usr/lib, not
876 /usr/X11R6/lib.
877 - initial transparency improvement/afterimage support
878 patch by Sasha Vasko.
879 - add urgentOnBell resource to set the urgency hint
880 (patch by Philip Paeps).
881 - do not process focus events caused by grabs
882 (patch by Mikachu).
883 - add iso14755_52 resource to disable iso14755 5.2 (exg).
884 - add binding for backspace in iso14755 5.1 to remove the last
885 digit (exg).
886 - better option handling, support more than 30 options (exg).
887 - nuke reconf script, serves no purpose anymore.
888 - fixed and documented matcher/on_user_command processing in matcher
889 extension (tpope).
890 - compile out of the box on Solaris 10 (exg).
891 - fix MappingNotify events (reported by Stephan Walter).
892 - zero-initialise mwmhints, this seems to solve all sorts of minor
893 problems.
894
895 8.2 Sat Feb 17 21:35:28 CET 2007
896 - fix make depend in src/, reported by exg.
897 - fixed typo in urxvt::GET_CUSTOM, causing the result to be wrong.
898 (patch by Sergey Vlasov).
899 - unbundled iom perl interface somewhat.
900 - scrollbar-xterm now uses the selected scrollColor instead of fg
901 (found by Aiviru).
902 - disabled linux kernel bug workaround again: disabling it gives
903 a 50% speed hit on affected machines, while enabling it gives
904 a similar speed hit to screen, which is likely the more common
905 case to work around for :/
906 - urxvt::rend2mask perl function, and utilization of it by matcher
907 (patch by Moshe Kamensky).
908 - use perl:matcher on a keysym to open most recently displayed URL.
909 - with matcher, when multiple patterns match, last wins, not first.
910 - fix make and make install with srcdir != builddir (exg).
911 - updated bundled libptytty to fix a bug where the tty would be kept
912 open (see the libptytty ChangeLog for details).
913 - delay setting the IUTF8 flag to after the tty settings have been
914 set so its value does not get lost (reported and analysed by Andrei
915 Paskevich).
916 - rip out support for obsolete sgtty.h interface.
917 - rip out support for non-POSIX termios variants.
918 - update libptytty.
919 - update iom.C, make it call ptytty::sanitise_stdfd on init.
920 - when !XFT, change rounding of colours to use a less correct formula to
921 meet user expectancies (#aaa becomes #a000a000a000 not #9f9f9f9f9f9f).
922 - change the starting offset of the pixmap set with backgroundPixmap
923 from (50,50) to (0,0) (exg).
924 - fix a typo in button_release, now meta-button2 request the value of
925 the Clipboard selection as it should (patch by Serge Koksharov).
926 - fix a bug in drawing a cell with a nonspacing char when using an xft
927 font with inheritPixmap and tintColor (exg).
928
929 8.1 Thu Dec 7 22:27:25 CET 2006
930 - ケリスマスプレゼント - zomg!!1, it's too early!!!
931 - fix the assumption that chars < 256 are single-width. Now
932 only assume this for codepoints 32 to 126 (reported by Dai.H.).
933 - $term->strwidth returned wide chars as width 1, because some jerk
934 confused min and max. Fixing this also fixes xim-onthespot.
935 Reported by Takano Akio.
936 - secondaryScroll is now enabled by default (as per the manpage),
937 reported by exg.
938 - correct the description of [percent]color rgba format in the manpage.
939 - incorporated macosx-clipboard extension by Samuel Ljungkvist.
940 - ignore (some) useless focus events (reported by mmc).
941 - updated compose table to unicode 5.0.0.
942
943 8.0 Thu Nov 2 18:35:19 CET 2006
944 - combining characters cleared the area instead of creating an overlay,
945 thus losing the ability to draw combining characters properly in most
946 circumstances (reported by exg).
947 - specified fonts were incorrectly morphed to bold/italic according to the
948 basefont, even if explicitly specified (tracked down by tpope).
949 - fixed urxvt::strwidth to calculate width in the same way as screen.C.
950 - fix a crash caused by passing negative widths to overlay functions.
951 - added 'matcher' extension by tpope, replacing the mark-urls extension.
952 - improve url regex to match anything www.* (tpope).
953 - fixed bug with outline cursor color being wrong after xft fonts.
954 - update to libptytty-1.0.
955 - give proper diagnostic when RXVT_SOCKET is too long instead of
956 corrupting the stack (patch by exg).
957 - display current terminal locale in option menu.
958 - urxvtd no longer crashes when the client sends an inaccessible
959 working directory (reported by Roland Baer, possibly fixes gentoo
960 bug #143985).
961 - fixed many minor issues reported by Roland Baer.
962 - Leonid Khramov spotted a minor glitch in rxvtfont.C that
963 should not have any consequences, but was buggy nonetheless.
964 - manpage fix by exg.
965
966 7.9 Mon Aug 7 18:16:07 CEST 2006
967 - fix the crashing bug people encountered with 7.8 + urxvtd + perl
968 + transparency. Ought to fix debian bug #380348.
969 - fix urxvtc.1.pod: it actually claimed -pty-fd would not work. But
970 it does! :->
971 - rxvt_fatal() in case the locale string is too long for our static buffer.
972 - fixed many, many, typos in the manpages (patch supplied by ves).
973
974 7.8 Mon Jul 17 21:00:46 CEST 2006
975 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: this version will always read ~/.Xdefaults,
976 earlier versions only read it if display-resources (usually from
977 .Xresources) are not set. This avoids the #1 FAQ ("why isn't my
978 resource used") and seems to be logical behaviour, too. .Xdefaults
979 resources have a lower priority than display-specific resources.
980 - add "kuake" perl extension that does a similar thing to the kuake
981 terminal emulator (see man urxvtperl).
982 - use less "correct" color scaling that is compatible with libX11 and
983 Xft (avoids off-by-one colors resulting in striped backgrounds).
984 - the "depth" resource is now respected.
985 - preset the searchable-scrollback pattern with "(?i)" to default search
986 to case-insensitivity. Will automatically be cleared when typing an
987 uppercase character.
988 - add FORCE_UNBUFFERED_XFT define to features.h.
989 - re-enabled highlightcolor support with --enable-frills, based on
990 a patch by Martin Stubenschrott.
991 - double-buffered xft drawing did suffer from pixel offset issues
992 when pixmap transparency was enabled.
993 - strategically add # to the url-match regexes, as we really want to
994 match common URIs not common URLs. Reported by Aaron Griffin.
995 - moved on_osc_seq to on_osc_seq_perl and added a more
996 generic osc_seq.
997 - fix a bug causing double callback invocations when perl hooks
998 were invoked recursively.
999 - the automove-background extension now properly works when the
1000 pixmap gets reset with an osc sequence (sqweek).
1001 - selection-pastebin did not work properly with non-latin1-characters.
1002 - apply colorUL only when the text colour is the default fg
1003 (patch by Wu Fengguang).
1004 - removed rxvtlib.h from the tarball, it had no reason to be there
1005 (spotted by Decklin Foster).
1006 - fix compiling with TRANSPARENT but !XPM_BACKGROUND, as reported
1007 by omatunto_.
1008 - slap in a using namespace std, might help on platforms that don't
1009 follow C++ closely enough.
1010 - fix mailto url regex, spotted within milliseconds by Jost Krieger.
1011 - applied fade_color_update_func.patch by WU Fengguang.
1012 - fix a bug where (due to an optimisation in av_delete), hiding the
1013 bottom-most overlay would hide two overlays.
1014
1015 7.7 Tue Feb 21 12:32:49 CET 2006
1016 - use double-buffered drawing (xft fonts only). On many driver/hardware
1017 combination this actually increases xft drawing speed, at the expense
1018 of more network bandwidth and slight nausea on the side of the author.
1019 - readline perl extension now requires shift-click instead of a normal
1020 click, and eats the click.
1021 - tabbed perl extension now supports -e.
1022 - disabled graphics-exposures on the main drawing GC, report any
1023 refresh bugs please.
1024 - improve property handling for -pe tabbed: avoid unnecessary property
1025 changes (for kde's benefit) at the expense of extra round-trips,
1026 improve size hint setting.
1027 - modified XIM according to a patch sent by Takano Akio that sets
1028 the preedit rectangle for OverTheSpot, which helps some input methods
1029 to correctly position their preedit window.
1030 - un-optimise the line clearing on newly scrolled-in lines a bit: the
1031 former reasoning was that any fg colour on default bg looks the same
1032 in empty spaces, but that's not true when reversing (e.g. selection),
1033 so also check for matching fg colours. This fixes the problem where
1034 selecting newly scrolled-in lines would exhibit wrong colours.
1035 - fix a bug in the perl interface causing focus in events to generate
1036 focus out perl events, causing bad focus effects with -pe tabbed.
1037 - fix a race resulting in a crash on exiting.
1038 - fix a with --disable-xft that caused xfreecolors to be called on
1039 colors never allocated, resulting in aborts (reported by Paco-Paco).
1040 - resources on non-initial screens weren't refetched correctly
1041 (reported by Paco-Paco).
1042 - fix a bug in xcopyarea pass and _disable_ it, as it seems not to be
1043 working in either rxvt-unicode nor in the original rxvt.
1044 - removed undocumented -exec alias for the -e option.
1045
1046 7.6 Fri Feb 10 08:52:36 CET 2006
1047 - changed interpretation of [alpha] colour prefix.
1048 - +option now really sets the option to default, instead of using the
1049 resource value.
1050 - options that require an argument now really _require_ an argument.
1051 - the tabbed extension now forwards focus and key events to the
1052 relevant tab window.
1053 - tab colours are now configurable and have sensible defaults
1054 (initial patch by hednod).
1055 - option menu is extendable, readline, selection and
1056 selection-autotransform can now be disabled/enabled at runtime.
1057 - forcing a configure event to tabbed subwindows with -pe tabbed, for
1058 the benefit of automove-background.
1059 - the automove-background extension added a wrong constant offset.
1060 - force refresh of XA_RESOURCE_STRING on virtual reconnect.
1061 - return exit status 2 in urxvtc when urxvtd couldn't be contacted.
1062 - the linux yield hack is back, now using usleep, and enabled only on
1063 __linux__.
1064 - further round trip eliminations in the !XFT case by remembering
1065 the colour components.
1066 - plain scrollbar works better with -sr.
1067 - fixed half-shadow scrollbar look.
1068 - more colour rtt optimisations.
1069 - properly(?) free colours on window close.
1070 - reorganised the FAQ into multiple sections.
1071 - add ISO646.1991-IRV to the list of supported codesets.
1072 - minor libptytty update.
1073
1074 7.5 Tue Jan 31 15:15:43 CET 2006
1075 - further improvements to the careful mode detection, and font width
1076 detection:
1077 - fully double-wide fonts will now be correctly treated,
1078 - overlap detection was improved.
1079 - detect totally broken fonts (usually synthesized by xft).
1080 - careful mode forced refresh sometimes clashed with blinking,
1081 causing unnecessary screen redraws.
1082 - better handling of XFT combining characters.
1083 - enable antialiasing for some replacement fonts, as they
1084 might get used for other encodings which really need it, later.
1085 - remove spacing=100 from all default fonts, as this creates totally
1086 weird spacing (5 times normal) with xft.
1087 - removed iso10646 fallback, as xorgs iso10646 encoded fonts are mostly
1088 broken.
1089 - removed gnu unifont fallback, all combining characters are broken.
1090 - replace named colours by xorg's rgb.txt equivalents, to
1091 reduce round trip time on startup, and short-cut allocation
1092 of rgb:rr/gg/bb for xft.
1093 - short-cut allocation of rgb values in the xlib case
1094 (patch by Paco-Paco).
1095 - overhauled color management: smaller codesize, alpha support.
1096 - support "rgba:rrrr/gggg/bbbb/aaaa" color specifications and
1097 an "[alpha]" prefix.
1098 - try to work around Xft and Xrender forcing everything to be 100%
1099 transparent. Long Live Xft!
1100 - do not include X11/Intrinsic.h anymore, directly use
1101 Xlib/Xutil/Xresource directly.
1102 - try to find a nearest matching color when color allocation fails
1103 on a pseudocolor screen.
1104 - SYNCCVS: compared to rxvt-cvs 2006-01-28, no relevant changes.
1105 - fix version report (DA) (which was unfortunately broken).
1106 - changed version number report again, now to emulate xterm closer.
1107 - added the OSC sequence 702 to detect the urxvt version number.
1108 - small configure updates.
1109 - further RTT optimisations.
1110 - backported clean-up patches for makefiles and documentation from
1111 the debian package.
1112 - updated doc/rxvt-unicode.spec file. It's still not maintained here,
1113 but much newer than the old one.
1114
1115 7.4 Sat Jan 28 15:26:27 CET 2006
1116 - screen background wasn't always erased properly when scrolling,
1117 - re-enabled clearing optimisation disabled in 7.4pre.
1118 - small configure updates for libptytty.
1119 - fixed version options: line output.
1120 - removed stoopid debugging message left in the code.
1121
1122 7.3 Wed Jan 25 22:47:35 CET 2006
1123 - don't let iso14755 or mouse reporting get into the way of perl
1124 (could lead to global grabs never being cleared).
1125 - experimental OnTheSpot editing support (-pe xim-onthespot).
1126 - moved Shift-Button2 paste combination to Meta-Button2.
1127 - the cutchars resource will now be respected and used by the
1128 selection extension.
1129 - added the "remote-clipboard" extension which just runs external
1130 commands to fetch and store the selection data.
1131 - added -depth switch that tries to get a different visual depth
1132 than the default (replaces the old PREFER_24_BIT logic).
1133 - removed (unused) arabic presentation form composing sequences.
1134 - be more strict when deciding that a core font glyph is too wide and
1135 needs the careful rendering mode.
1136 - allow more leeway for italic fonts when deciding that a character is
1137 too wide and needs careful mode.
1138 - redraw even more characters around characters using careful mode.
1139 - made selection-pastebin fully asynchronous.
1140 - reduced number of server turnarounds at startup by allocating
1141 atoms only once per display.
1142 - renamed on_keyboard_command to on_user_command.
1143 - changed version sos (ESC [ > c) response to be more compatible with
1144 xterm.
1145
1146 7.2 Sun Jan 22 21:58:16 CET 2006
1147 - bugfix: urxvt (not urxvtd) did not correctly handle multiple
1148 environments necessary, which resulted in segfaults within
1149 getenv (reproducible: urxvt -fn 9x15, open a menu once,
1150 ctrl-shift-672c).
1151 - bugfix: the selection speedup in in 7.1 unfortunately caused
1152 non-ascii characters to enlarge/move the selection.
1153 - bugfix: resizing sometimes leaked lines from the secondary to
1154 the primary screen.
1155 - bugfix: reducing window size while large amounts of text were output
1156 could lead to an assertion failure.
1157 - added "tabbed" extension that provides a crude tabbed terminal.
1158 - added "readline" extension that allows cursor positioning
1159 via mouse clicks.
1160 - now it is possible to insert the value of the CLIPBOARD selection
1161 with shift - mouse button 2.
1162 - fixed the automove-background extension to ignore coordinates
1163 in non-synthetic events.
1164 - created a separate libpty for portable and secure
1165 pty/tty/utmp/wtmp/lastlog handling, and include it in rxvt-unicode.
1166 - the non-terminfo visual bell now works asynchronously, so
1167 continuous ASCI BELs in one terminal do no longer monopolise the
1168 whole urxvt[d] process.
1169 - support some *BSD makes (for the time being, gnu make is a safe bet).
1170 - work around bugs in FreeBSD's gcc.
1171 - implemented some *BSD fixes in configure.
1172 - removed support for obsolete offix dnd protocol.
1173
1174 7.1 Thu Jan 19 20:25:34 CET 2006
1175 - setuid/setgid operation is now _encouraged_: security has been
1176 improved by moving privileged operations into a separate process
1177 and permanently dropping privileges within the terminal. This
1178 makes it possible to remove security checks from the perl code
1179 and gives a much safer feeling when urxvt needs to run with
1180 special privileges.
1181 - perl taint checking disabled, as urxvt no longer runs setuid/setgid
1182 itself.
1183 - new perl extension automove-background that can be used to get
1184 the same effect as pseudo-transparency with any pixmap.
1185 - new perl extension example: perl/selection-pastebin, can be used to
1186 e.g. upload the selection to a webserver and generate a url, or
1187 similar stuff.
1188 - use the scrollback buffer even when the scroll region doesn't
1189 span the whole screen, as long as it starts at row 0. Helps
1190 for programs displaying a status line at the bottom.
1191 - selection popup now shows selection in dec/hex/oct.
1192 - perl/selection: matching on unicode characters in the selection
1193 code was O(n²), which equals infinity in some degenerate cases
1194 :-> Matching is now done on UTF-8, which makes it almost instant.
1195 - perl/selection, perl/selection-autotransform: regexes are now
1196 being interpreted in the locale urxvt was started.
1197 - implemented override-redirect option and enabled it on menus,
1198 as kwin puts our windows behind the terminal (what a shoddy wm).
1199 - fixed struct utmp check in configure for OpenBSD.
1200 - complete overhaul of the pty/utmp management stuff and configure
1201 (Emanuele Giaquinta=exg).
1202 - add tsl/fsl and related capabilities to the terminfo description,
1203 to set the window title.
1204 - swap the environment in some more cases. This hopefully fixes
1205 some segfaults that might be caused by xft asking for env variables
1206 at the wrong time.
1207 - removed src/strings.C and src/menubar.C. No menubar support
1208 anymore.
1209 - removed all traces of SMOOTH_REFRESH.
1210 - nuked QNX support.
1211 - made some fixes to xpm offset and scaling code.
1212 - perl-overlays and refresh hooks were not applied in correct order.
1213 - changed coordinate-system of view_start/nsaved to be top to bottom.
1214 - iom extended to support listening for child exits.
1215
1216 7.0 Fri Jan 13 14:02:18 CET 2006
1217 - added sections for DISTRIBUTION MAINTAINERS and about
1218 SETUID/SETGID to the FAQ.
1219 - selection, searchable-scrollback, selection-popup and
1220 option-popup extensions enabled by default.
1221 - increased xft drawing speed for problematic fonts. The effect
1222 will likely be small as 99% of the xft slowness is server-related.
1223 - perl: much increased functionality, better overlays, popup support
1224 and much much more.
1225 - perl: urxvt::line now can set via ->t and ->r.
1226 - perl: changed interpretation of --perl-ext-common and -pe.
1227 - perl: finally implemented --perl-eval.
1228 - perl: non-blocking anyevent support.
1229 - perl: run tainted and ignore perl-eval/perl-lib if started
1230 setuid/setgid.
1231 - free the resource database: this plugs a massive memory leak. As a
1232 side effect, it also gets rid of XGetDefault calls.
1233 - free one of the cursors, fixes a small memory leak.
1234 - built-in (as opposed to terminfos) visual bell was broken/too fast.
1235 - applied minor cleanups by Ladislav Michnovic.
1236 - applied pty handling cleanups and improvements (Emanuele Giaquinta).
1237 - mark-urls launch-on-click by jepler.
1238 - removed "small" resource parsing function, as it wasn't really
1239 compatible, and not really small either.
1240 - removed PATH_ENV and PATH file search support.
1241 - removed support for locale-specific app-defaults file.
1242 - fixed a bug where out-of-bounds colour sequences could lead
1243 to crashes.
1244 - limit colour changing to the standard 88 palette instead of all
1245 colours.
1246 - XTerm_Color01 sequence returned wrong results in query mode.
1247 - iom.C now checks against destructed io_manager when unregistering.
1248
1249 6.3 Wed Jan 4 22:37:10 CET 2006
1250 - SECURITY FIX: on systems using openpty, permissions were
1251 not correctly updated on the tty device and were left as
1252 world-readable and world-writable (likely in original rxvt,
1253 too), and were not restored properly. Affected are only
1254 systems where non-unix ptys were used (such as most BSDs, not
1255 GNU/Linux). (found, patched and debugged by Ryan Beasley).
1256 - meta8 support was forcefully enabled in most configurations.
1257 restored configurability of this (useless) feature (reported
1258 by Mikachu).
1259 - optionally embed a perl interpreter, which can be used for more
1260 intelligent/customized selection support, visual feedback,
1261 menus, tabs etc. See the the urxvtperl manpage, the -pe option,
1262 perl*-resources and keysym resources. Not everything is there yet.
1263 - try to be more clever about differing font sizes and their ascent.
1264 Not guaranteed to work, but works better in most cases now.
1265 - fix directory permissions on install.
1266 - implemented option to disable built-in line drawing characters
1267 and fall back to the font ones (patch by Martin Pohlack).
1268 - disabled sched_yield support: the linux version is just too useless
1269 (it schedules nice'd processes before the own one for extended
1270 periods). Too bad, it could reduce system time by a factor of 5 here.
1271
1272 6.2 Mon Jan 2 16:03:01 CET 2006
1273 - implemented intensityStyles option which enables/disables bold/blink
1274 selecting high intensity foreground/background colours, suggested by
1275 Chuck Blake.
1276 - move iso14755 character feedback box out of the way if it would
1277 obscure the mouse cursor position.
1278 - replaced callback.h by a fixed version from gvpe that correctly
1279 returns the callback result (affects new -pty-fd semantics in urxvtc
1280 on a few architectures). Reported by darix.
1281 - include one trailing space in rectangular selections to indicate
1282 the inserted newline (yeah, weird, but visually more pleasing).
1283 - try to use sched_yield to (drastically) improve terminal data
1284 transfer efficiency.
1285 - further minor cleanups.
1286
1287 6.1 Tue Dec 27 13:23:40 CET 2005
1288 - update iso8859-7 table (euro and drachma round-trip et al.).
1289 - fix a crash when the selection scrolls out of the scrollback
1290 while the user still drags.
1291 - selections that were partially scrolled out of the window were
1292 not drawn correctly.
1293 - lines newly scrolled in were not initialized properly, leading
1294 to extremely long lines and (hopefully) some segfaults.
1295 - iso14755 overlay position was wrong.
1296 - iso14755 overlay now displays rendition info, too.
1297 - use unicode white space class instead of hardcoded values for
1298 stripping whitespace.
1299 - do whitespace stripping on rectangular selections.
1300 - slight cleanups in src/features.h.
1301
1302 6.0 Sat Dec 24 13:58:56 CET 2005
1303 - make it compile without SMART_RESIZE again.
1304 - enable slow link support by default.
1305 - fix relative cursor-positioning not respecting scrolling regions
1306 (also a bug in original rxvt).
1307 - initialize termios structure to zero when fetching it fails
1308 (see http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=84647 for a
1309 partial patch).
1310 - bump max columns/rows to 10000 each.
1311 - bump max savelines to 10000000.
1312 - -pty-fd now passes the urxvtc fd to the urxvtd process.
1313 - avoid linking against -lnsl/-lsocket/-lxpg4 unless necessary.
1314 - major code cleanup (still not complete, though).
1315 - implement -hold option.
1316 - _major_ rewrite of internal buffer handling:
1317 - re-flow on resize, lines get wrapped instead of winged.
1318 - circular line buffer (substantially speeds up scrolling).
1319 - slightly less code + data memory usage per terminal.
1320 - slight overall speed improvements.
1321 - considerably improved code clarity.
1322 - partial-screen scrolls no longer end up in the scrollback
1323 buffer.
1324
1325 5.9 Sat Dec 17 21:53:17 CET 2005
1326 - fix a bug in the menu code of unknown impact, found by darix.
1327 - clean up signal handling to be global, not per terminal
1328 (matters only for rxvtd).
1329 - fix small typoe in rxvt.1 (found by Mike Fabian).
1330 - don't crash when broken xft/fontconfig/freetype versions return
1331 bogus data, ignore the xft font instead (experienced on suse).
1332
1333 5.8 Tue Oct 25 22:21:45 CEST 2005
1334 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: many configure options are now on by default.
1335 If you want the old behaviour, try:
1336 configure --disable-everything <your enable options>
1337 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: -fade changed its meaning to comply with
1338 the documentation and common sense: when upgrading, replace your
1339 percentage by 100-percentage.
1340 - integrated "fade to specific colour" patch by Martin Parm.
1341 - slow down the internal visual bell (delay by 20ms) and update
1342 the terminfo flash code to use the same delay. This is
1343 synchronous, so many bells might inhibit screen updates in other
1344 windows.
1345 - text with background==foreground colour gets displayed with default
1346 bg/fg now when in reverse video, so it can be seen when selecting.
1347 - allow koi8r* as x11 encoding name for koi8r (Nikita Danilov).
1348 - removed undocumented inheritPixmapforce option.
1349 - replaced INSTALL file.
1350
1351 5.7 Wed Jul 13 04:46:33 CEST 2005
1352 - implement some useful (hopefully) options for rxvtd.
1353 - separate and improved rxvtc(1) and rxvtd(1) manpages.
1354 - fix a bug that caused segfaults on startup on systems that do
1355 not support local unix connections, e.g cygwin. (btw, I didn't
1356 even know about the -rootless and -multiwindow Cygwin/X modes).
1357 - large amounts of text without control sequences or newlines
1358 could almost freeze output. This has been fixed by adding extra
1359 refreshes in these cases (also a problem in original rxvt).
1360
1361 5.6 Sun Jun 26 22:11:13 CEST 2005
1362 - R_SB_RXVT bitset value was 0, so rxvt scrollbar was initialised
1363 every time resulting in display errors (original rxvt also affected).
1364 Reported by Jasmin Buchert.
1365 - font names are now considered to be utf-8 encoded (xft apparently
1366 uses this convention. X Core fonts might not, but it should be rare).
1367 Affects display in iso14755 box.
1368 - rewrote the low-level xft drawing function ("xft backend" for the
1369 hipper parts of the world) to hopefully cope better with proportional
1370 chars mixed with fixed-width ones.
1371 - rxvt is now much more careful (read: slower) with potentially
1372 overlapping xft characters. It usually overshoots and redraws
1373 more than required, but that's better than undershooting and
1374 cutting pieces off of characters.
1375 - rxvt is now more restrictive in what font heights it accepts for
1376 fonts that will likely overshoot or undershoot lines.
1377 - fix a cosmetic problem with the unfocused cursor on a wide character
1378 at the end of the line (reported by Mikachu).
1379 - wide characters not fitting into the end of the line will be
1380 output in the next line (reported by Mikachu).
1381 - added doc/solaris9.patch by Ewgenij Starostin.
1382
1383 5.5 Sat Apr 23 22:31:36 CEST 2005
1384 - re-enabled modifier state matching as in 5.3, but implement
1385 a new builtin: keysym style that simply reverts to the built-in
1386 meaning of the given key.
1387 - use scrollcolor for next scrollbar instead of hardcoded antiquewhite
1388 (patch by Martin Edlman).
1389
1390 5.4 Mon Apr 18 00:33:31 CEST 2005
1391 - match modifier state exactly in custom keyboard code.
1392 this is necessary because it has no knowledge about
1393 built-in mappings and so will overwrite them. the priority-code
1394 will be re-enabled when this has changed, so watch out.
1395 - cursor blinking now depends on frills.
1396 - underline cursor mode (frills, -uc).
1397 - implement special value (*g*) for pointerBlankDelay
1398 to disable it.
1399
1400 5.3 Sun Mar 13 00:20:44 CET 2005
1401 - fix a bug that allowed to overflow a buffer via a long
1402 escape sequence, which is probably exploitable (fix by
1403 Rob Holland / Yoann Vandoorselaere / Gentoo Audit Team).
1404 - Custom key mappings no longer confuse mouse buttons
1405 with modifiers.
1406 - use XmbSetWMProperties instead of XSetWMProperties.
1407 - properly update WM_LOCALE.
1408 - implement _NET_WM_PING protocol.
1409 - implemented escape sequences to move the scrollback buffer view
1410 and clear the scrollback buffer.
1411
1412 5.2 Sun Feb 20 01:48:59 CET 2005
1413 - new option -pty-fd that makes the terminal a slave
1414 that uses an existing pty for I/O instead of starting
1415 a command.
1416 - implement enough of XEMBED to allow for correct focus.
1417 - added doc/embed-tk, an embedding example in Perl/Tk,
1418 and doc/rxvt-tabbed, a primitive tabbed shell implemented
1419 in Perl/Gtk2.
1420 - fix assertion failure ("crash") on mousewheel-scrolling
1421 when the terminal height is small, by removing the assert.
1422 (reported by Mikael Magnusson=Mikachu).
1423 - SYNCCVS. backported bugfixes done to rxvt
1424 (sourceforge bugs #1028739, #1028732), except for
1425 pts/%s fix as it seems to collide with freebsd,
1426 and sourceforge bug #954654, which is not necessary.
1427 - change terminfo file to not clobber G1 when using
1428 line-drawing characters, as this seems to mess
1429 with EUC-JP (it will clobber G0, but G0 practically
1430 needs to be US-ASCII all the time).
1431 - toggle default application keypad/cursor mode to help
1432 some apps who fail to set the correct mode.
1433 - check for WM_PROTOCOLS type in ClientMessage as to
1434 not destroy the window for other types of messages.
1435 - remove shared library (or any library) support - it is
1436 of no use currently (and -embed is a better way to embed
1437 rxvt-unicode).
1438 - get rid of the intpro files.
1439
1440 5.1 Tue Feb 15 17:13:27 CET 2005
1441 - fix a bug when parsing fontnames and another one
1442 for empty keymaps which could result in crashes
1443 (Kuang-che Wu).
1444 - new option: -embed (frills). somebody could write a simple
1445 tk script to make a tab'able terminal now...
1446 - only warn on X errors and _try_ to continue (frills).
1447 - add COPYING back, which got lost somehow.
1448 - after deciding that LSM is dead, remove all traces of it,
1449 along with other, similar, cleanups.
1450 - _try_ to react sensibly to some non-monotonic time changes.
1451 - don't crash in urxvtc when getcwd fails (reported by Paco-Paco).
1452 - tweak font searching algorithm a bit to be faster and more
1453 compatible with older rxvt-unicode versions when multiple fonts
1454 match (reported by Paco-Paco).
1455 - urxvtd tries to stay in "/" whenever possible.
1456
1457 5.0 Fri Feb 11 18:31:48 CET 2005
1458 - document a race-free hack to start urxvtd.
1459 - document all(?) environment variables used and set by rxvt.
1460 - bring xgetdefault-style resource file ordering more in line with
1461 Xt, and document it in rxvt(1).
1462 - correctly use screen-dependent resources when --enable-xgetdefault,
1463 and also fix some memory bugs (thanks to Thierry Reding for
1464 his patience and time in tracking this down).
1465 - bring own resource parsing more in line with X resource parsing,
1466 most notably, don't remove double quotes.
1467 - compile fix for freebsd (no ut_id) (Thierry Thomas).
1468 - clean up utmp and pty on X I/O errors and signals (idea
1469 by Joël Riou).
1470 - "un"document -xrm, it never really worked, was only
1471 available with --enable-xgetdefault, is not necessary
1472 and is surprisingly hard to implement.
1473 - shaved off some code segment size.
1474 - various code cleanups.
1475 - more keysym-mapping fixes.
1476
1477 4.9 Thu Feb 3 09:52:03 CET 2005
1478 - nuke out utmp entries completely. Should be fixed in
1479 original rxvt, too. (reported by James Michael Fultz).
1480 - resizes will now correctly refresh the displayed text when
1481 -pixmap is active.
1482 - new option/resource imFont.
1483 - document --tripleclickwords/-tcw.
1484 - select logical instead of physical lines when doing a triple-click.
1485 - reordered help listing to group similar options together.
1486 - handle SIGINT the same way as SIGTERM (reported by Joël Riou).
1487 - fix a bug introduced while applying the keyboard patch
1488 (WU Fengguang).
1489 - document all window-op sequences (rxvt.7.) and more keysym
1490 examples (rxvt.1).
1491 - removed src/test completely.
1492 - renamed keysym 'proto:'-prefix to 'command:'.
1493
1494 4.8 Tue Jan 18 02:23:57 CET 2005
1495 - added a patch by WU Fengguang that makes the keyboard
1496 highly configurable (e.g. locale changes, custom escape
1497 sequences, and more). See keysym resource in rxvt(1).
1498 - remove default key sequence for unknown keys again, as this
1499 can be achieved by customizing the keyboard now.
1500 - fix some freeing problems when destroying the rxvt_display,
1501 resulting in segfaults.
1502 - don't crash when the saved cursor position doesn't fit on the
1503 screen (wrong assert in original rxvt, reported by ikaro).
1504 - fix signed/unsigned bugs on wc<->mb conversions.
1505 - reset slipwheel scrolling speed when reaching the top or bottom
1506 (Mikael Magnusson).
1507 - for core fonts, use ascent + descent when a font is loaded,
1508 and PIXEL_SIZE when not. when loading a font, iterate until a
1509 font has been found that _really_ fits the height (reported and
1510 tested by Olivier Wittenberg).
1511 - set IUTF8 input flag, when defined (linux-2.6.5+).
1512 - only define _XOPEN_SOURCE on solaris.
1513 - autogenerate src/* dependency list.
1514 - fixed linespace option, which ought to work now (and is dependent
1515 on frills, not on its own configure option).
1516 - include pty.h, if available (cygwin).
1517 - removed W11 directory from dist, it wasn't used anyway.
1518 - initialize the locale much earlier.
1519 - fixed two tiny per-instance memory leaks.
1520
1521 4.7 Wed Dec 29 20:54:24 CET 2004
1522 - fix a bug in the event logic that could cause the terminal to be
1523 black on initial startup.
1524 - do NOT call XCloseIM, ever. This causes way to many crashes due to
1525 races in the protocol and within Xlib.
1526 - map iso-left-tab to the same sequence as shift-tab.
1527 - generate a unique escape sequence for many unknown keys, such as
1528 additional multimedia keys.
1529 - mask out high (non-unicode) bits on wide characters, to cope with
1530 implementations that store tag info in the high bits.
1531
1532 4.6 Thu Dec 16 07:54:23 CET 2004
1533 - try very hard not to exhaust the kernel tty buffers, even
1534 if it slows down large pastes and is only cosmetic.
1535 - streamline atom and xft color allocation to reduce startup
1536 time (12.8s -> 7.8s on my dsl). Still, doing it with only 2-3
1537 turnarounds would be much faster, but impossible to implement(?).
1538 - implement underlineColor resource when ENABLE_FRILLS.
1539 - iom left its signal pipe handle open in the child
1540 process. Fortunately not security-relevant as the pipe data gets
1541 ignored.
1542 - do not use XSETROOTPMAP_ID anymore, support ESETROOT_PMAP_ID
1543 instead.
1544 - fix a crash in rxvtd when the last window was being closed
1545 (reported by hednod).
1546 - fix an unlikely memory leak.
1547 - fix atom name enumeration.
1548
1549 4.5 Mon Dec 13 07:47:16 CET 2004
1550 - fix an extremely nasty bug in utf8-conversion. upgrade is advised.
1551 - completely re-wrote selection pasting. This should fix garbled
1552 incomplete characters at 32k boundaries and too-short INCR
1553 selections, and more. Increases memory requirements considerably
1554 for large selections, but that seems unavoidable.
1555
1556 4.4 Sun Dec 12 22:10:06 CET 2004
1557 - rewrote handling of default-char width.
1558 - implement _NET_WM_NAME et al., and also use UTF8_STRING
1559 for the xterm property esc. sequence. Allows i18n window
1560 titles etc.
1561 - SMART_WINDOW_TITLE removed, pls. complain if you need this.
1562 - added GBK encoding (formidable patch by WU Fengguang).
1563 - fixed a bug in the transparency code.
1564 - upgraded iom.[Ch].
1565 - force slower (but more responsive) transparency update.
1566 - fix off-by-one bug with wide characters at the end of a line,
1567 which got partially overwritten by spaces.
1568 - as xlib is completely broken with respect to utf-8 handling
1569 and nobody is going to fix it, that part has been re-implemented.
1570 should fix most paste problems between apps that use UTF8 encoding
1571 and rxvt running in a lesser-supported locale (thanks to Robin Redeker
1572 for writing utf8towcs). Only enabled with ENABLE_FRILLS.
1573 - darwin compile fix by Ethan Blanton.
1574 - fix the colour of the underline, which was rather random before.
1575
1576 4.3 Sat Dec 4 04:58:37 CET 2004
1577 - unapply the "emulated graphical chars. respect wcwidth" patch.
1578 obviously in locales not having these characters they should
1579 still have a width. Solve it correctly by not relying on wcwidth.
1580 Note to self: do not ever apply patches without checking them
1581 thoroughly.
1582 - updated .spec file, it's included in the release tarball
1583 now, too.
1584
1585 4.2 Wed Dec 1 03:30:22 CET 2004
1586 - make emulated graphical characters respect wcwidth (Kuang-che Wu).
1587 - remove debugging code that caused major slowdowns
1588 on high-latency networks.
1589 - wide characters shift the correct number of characters
1590 in insert mode now. Reported by Gunnar Ritter.
1591 - doc/rxvt-unicode.spec file contributed by Ville Herva.
1592 - make storage of tab movements as characters optional
1593 on the -ptab option and pastableTabs: resource. On request
1594 by Gunnar Ritter.
1595 - fix a bug where :size= argument for xft fonts was ignored
1596 or used incorrectly. Reported by Ville Herva.
1597
1598 4.1 Sun Nov 21 21:10:19 CET 2004
1599 - save and restore cursor position in secondary screen regardless of
1600 -ssc/-ssr settings.
1601 - fix some 64-bit bugs that lead to crashes with certain other
1602 programs like vncviewer (original rxvt also affected).
1603 - added doc/podtbl to the dist tarball.
1604 - add compile fix for darwin.
1605 - configure fix for transparency without tinting.
1606 - changed CN to ZH _really_ everywhere.
1607 - upgraded iom.[Ch].
1608
1609 4.0 Mon Sep 13 01:10:26 CEST 2004
1610 - turn off autohinting for some badly-hinted fallback fonts.
1611 - mnaapge tpyo crorcetoins by Bastian Kleineidam.
1612 - implemented rectangular selections (button+meta), experimental.
1613 - implement race-free signal handling in iom.C.
1614 - use iom.C signal handling to avoid races in signal handling.
1615 - use default action on SIGINT and SIGQUIT, instead of terminating.
1616 - "the return of the 100 times per second refresh bug".
1617 ... terminated by a fix.
1618 - new supported preeeditType "None".
1619 - added FAQ about possible compose key problems.
1620 - changed CN to ZH everywhere (sorry for the confusion).
1621 - move XFilterEvent up, as some input method seem to want events
1622 for windows not requesting XIM. Please report if this change
1623 causes any harm (specially with pointerblanking)
1624 (patch by Kuang-che Wu).
1625 - send the input method spot position on every refresh, not just
1626 when rxvt thinks it should (which was not often enough...).
1627 - fix double-wide combining characters (it might look a bit ugly,
1628 though, but common cases are handled by normalization anyways).
1629 - moved FAQ to rxvt(7), also made a copy into README.FAQ.
1630 - fix a bug(?) in the XIM destroy callback.
1631 - be more conservative when trying to register new input methods,
1632 as Xlib races might make rxvt crash. When two or more
1633 input methods are active, killing one probably still crashes rxvt
1634 due to that bug :( Thanks a lot to Kuang-che Wu for immense help
1635 in tracking this down.
1636 - manpages (but not .txt and .html versions) will be patched (during
1637 make install) with the correct program name and other info.
1638
1639 3.9 Wed Aug 25 19:24:04 CEST 2004
1640 - the change to unsigned int from unsigned short broke
1641 many signed comparisons, resulting in failed assertions.
1642
1643 3.8 Wed Aug 25 05:46:56 CEST 2004
1644 - WARNING: TERM=rxvt-unicode is now *default* unless compiled
1645 differently. A terminfo entry will automatically be compiled and
1646 installed if tic is available.
1647 - fixed some --disable switches that didn't work.
1648 - tweaked src/features.h a bit.
1649 - removed README.unicode.
1650 - support select&paste of tab characters.
1651 - fixed a segfault when trying to load nonexistent fonts (reported
1652 by Eduard Bloch and Mikael Magnusson).
1653 - fixed a long-standing rxvt bug in which rxvt failed to save
1654 and restore the correct cursor position on the secondary screen.
1655 - reworked rxvt-unicode terminfo to allow more efficient and less flickering
1656 screen updates with curses.
1657 - wide characters that are being halfway overwritten are now replaced
1658 by spaces.
1659 - urxvtc now transmits urxvt as default name, not urxvtc anymore
1660 (likewise for other names chosen at configure time).
1661 - disabled the automatic font lookup for unknown characters. xft
1662 is just too slow for this to work.
1663 - changed realbold code, implemented _real_ bold and italic support,
1664 where _real_ means the symbiosis of what I want with what I can
1665 implement. use --enable-styles.
1666 - removed 256 color mode, but enable 88 colours in all modes
1667 (88 to be compatible with 88 colour xterm which is widely
1668 supported, and most programs assume a non-iso colourtable
1669 for terminals with "odd" number of colours).
1670 - added doc/etc/rxvt-unicode.terminfo which is a big overhaul
1671 compared to the old rxvt terminfo.
1672 - sped up xft rendering by 30% *iff* the font allows it (i.e. is
1673 monospaced "enough") *and* matches the base font in width.
1674 - implement positive and negative character-font caching, which
1675 speeds up output immensely in case a character cannot be found
1676 (only for non-bold right now).
1677 - fix segfault in fading code on certain escape sequences.
1678 - better default font size and style.
1679 - rxvt-unicode is now much more picky about fonts not fitting
1680 into the base font, but to offset this it will check each
1681 single character against the base font extents and will only
1682 use the characters fitting into the bounding box (+ some fudge).
1683 - characters not fitting into the base boundary box will now often
1684 be used anyways, but the following characters will be redrawn
1685 more often to avoid pixel-droppings. This is like the original
1686 rxvt pixel-dropping pass but it's much faster.
1687 - scrollColor now affects plain scrollbar (Mikael Magnusson).
1688 - fixed segfault in overlay code when height was larger than the
1689 screen height.
1690 - cursor no longer shines "through" the overlay.
1691 - 7-bit ST marker detection was broken.
1692 - scrollbar didn't come back sometimes when switching it
1693 off/on using escape sequences (Mikael Magnusson).
1694 - fix lots of colour problems with focus fading.
1695 - $COLORFGBG was not set as documented.
1696 - fix iso 14755 5.1 support when --enable-frills but --disable-iso14755.
1697 - removed OSC 702.
1698 - disabled MOUSE_REPORT_DOUBLECLICK by default, as programs seem to be
1699 confused by it rather than using it.
1700
1701 3.7 Tue Aug 17 04:22:25 CEST 2004
1702 - new configure option --enable-iso14755.
1703 - full iso 14755 conformance (at least I claim so :).
1704 - extended the FAQ section in the manpage.
1705 - fix OverTheSpot and OffTheSpot editing, which was broken since ages,
1706 due to no fontset being available. The fontset used is a very rough
1707 approximation to the rxvt font, though. This fixes the
1708 "cannot create input context" in most cases.
1709 - fix coordinates used for Over && OffTheSpot editing to fit directly
1710 at the cursor (Over) or into the top line (Off).
1711 - reset SIGHUP and SIGPIPE handlers to default values (they were
1712 previously being ignored, causing programs not to exit on window
1713 close).
1714 - implemented simple overlays for feedback messages. believe it or
1715 not, this was a major blocker in implementing tabbed terminals.
1716 - fix compiling with --disable-frills (Adam Sampson).
1717 - clarify bold docs in README.unicode (Adam Sampson).
1718 - fix crash on window close when the input method or context
1719 could not be created.
1720 - add work around for badly written programs (see debian bug
1721 #202497). This is _not_ a bug in rxvt but rather a race
1722 condition in other programs (e.g. jed). It works by forcefully
1723 sending SIGWINCH when rxvt sees the first output from the
1724 command. This workaround isn't perfect (a slight cost to
1725 wellbehaving programs who need to resize twice), but it usually
1726 works.
1727 - set correct pixel size in struct winsize.
1728 - document more escape sequences.
1729 - fix leftover macros and a few minor doc glitches in rxvt(1).
1730 - work around bash's assumption that stepping into the middle of a
1731 character is a sensible operation.
1732 - fix some corner cases in autowrap handling.
1733 - remove various useless make cruft, renamed files to better
1734 reflect on their function, renamed many variables.
1735 - fixed printscreen functionality, as noted by Jinesh Choksi.
1736 - fix a problem where redraws of double-width characters sometimes
1737 made the last character draw with normal width (especially visible
1738 with selections).
1739
1740 3.6 Sat Aug 14 04:55:26 CEST 2004
1741 - SECURITY FIX: rxvtd kept open filehandles to other terminal
1742 windows when spawning children. Actual risk is low (attacker
1743 needs access to a local shell window).
1744 - implemented parts 5.1 and 5.2 of ISO 14755 (i.e. hold down
1745 Ctrl+Shift and enter hex numbers. space commits it as a unicode
1746 character, or press and release Crl+Shift and then enter a
1747 function key to get its picture). patches for 5.3 (or 5.4 with
1748 a little window or so) would be welcome.
1749 - fixed large pastes (INCR selections, debian bug #191456).
1750 - fixed longstanding bug in which rxvtd crashed when
1751 a message was logged after startup (a rare case).
1752 - got rid of yodl completely by converting to pod.
1753 - integrated the FAQ into the manpage. In the future, more will be
1754 added there.
1755 - reference documentation is now installed as rxvt(7).
1756 - rxvt(7) now contains README.configure, which is autogenerated.
1757 - fix memory leak in insecure mode on certain display echos.
1758 - report sequences now report empty strings in secure mode
1759 instead of being ignored.
1760 - enable some report sequences even in secure mode, such as colour
1761 queries, as they are harmless(tm).
1762 - rxvt-unicode will now try to find a matching xft font if it can't
1763 find a matching font from the fallback list. It might look ugly,
1764 but if a xft font with our character exists, rxvt will find it.
1765 - moved FreeMono to the very back of the fallback list, as some
1766 people complain it looks ugly. This is a no-win situation, though.
1767 - fixed sourceforge bug 998970, reported against aterm:
1768 "crash on -sl 0 on super small windows".
1769 - decreased memory and code size when !--enable-transparency.
1770 - SYNCCVS. backported changes done to rxvt, except for Color_ufbg,
1771 which I think is better done through fading, and libW11, which
1772 needs testing anyways.
1773 - more complete compile options help output.
1774 - Provide linear scaled colour cubes for 256 colour mode.
1775 Pass them through as rgbi rather than rgb so that Xlib can
1776 provide gamma (from per visual intensity lists) rather than
1777 providing constant gamma ourselves. Noticed by and ideas from
1778 Christopher Casey <realchriscasey@hotmail.com>
1779 - minor doc fix.
1780
1781 3.5 Wed Aug 11 00:31:34 CEST 2004
1782 - UPGRADE ADVISED: rxvt did wake up 100 times per second. did not
1783 show in my top (linux...), but it's extremely annoying that I
1784 released it with that bug. :( Fixed.
1785 - use memove instead of for-loop for large scrollback buffer copies.
1786 speeds up large scrollback buffers (on systems with reasonable
1787 memmove :)
1788 - minor cleanups.
1789 - removed ~ from default cutchars, in accordance with the manpage
1790 (debian bug #169415).
1791 - fix a race condition on exit (debian bug #197265).
1792 - change prio/next scrolling modifier handling (debian bug #226386).
1793 - updated configure script to current autoconf standards.
1794 - updated config.guess.
1795
1796 3.4 Fri Aug 6 19:34:29 CEST 2004
1797 - fix inheritpixmap transparency border code.
1798 - fix tinting transparency border code, also experimentally
1799 make some scrollbars transparent (e.g. plain, my favourite style :).
1800 - imported aterm shading code (faster and still portable).
1801 - changed interpretation and usage of shading (-sh).
1802 - fixed blinking underlined and negative text.
1803 - disable slow link support on connections using unix domain sockets,
1804 speeding up scrolling immensely.
1805 - various other optimizations.
1806 - new borderLess switch (ewmh-compliant), by Mikael Magnusson.
1807
1808 3.3 Sat Jul 31 15:15:59 CEST 2004
1809 - some doc updates (Eduard Bloch).
1810 - use faster inheritpixmap method when tinting color not set.
1811 - fix pixmap offset when tinting (reported by Eduard Bloch).
1812 - new -sh option by Mikael Magnusson.
1813 - off-focus-fading (--enable-fading) support (patch by
1814 Mikael Magnusson, based on aterm code).
1815 - cursor now set correctly on --disable-blank (reported by
1816 Mikael Magnusson).
1817 - better (and non-crashing) slipwheeling (Mikael Magnusson).
1818 - solaris 2.8 portability changes (reported by Colin Marquardt).
1819 - disable-xim now really disables xim code.
1820
1821 3.2 Mon Jul 26 19:57:32 CEST 2004
1822 - support real bold fonts (patch by Adam Sampson <azz@us-lot.org>),
1823 if specified in the font list (and enabled by -rb).
1824 - fixed --enable-keepscrolling and --enable-selectionscrolling, which
1825 was broken since 1.8. Patch by Hans de Goede <j.w.r.degoede@hhs.nl>.
1826 - fixed --enable-slipwheeling, see above.
1827 - sequences ended by ST can now contain any octet by quoting it
1828 with ^V (SYN).
1829 - 8-bit-controls disabled by default (compiletime option).
1830
1831 3.1 Sat Jun 26 23:38:07 CEST 2004
1832 - set default backspace sequence to "DEC" (which defaults to \177)
1833 as opposed to \010 as before, which was incorrect (ahem :).
1834 - updated doc/etc/rxvt.* to reflect the change. This brings rxvt
1835 in line with many existing rxvt terminfo and termcap entries as
1836 well as with other terminal emulators.
1837 - fix a segfault when trying to set a nonexistent locale
1838 (reported by elmex).
1839 - find more fonts by default for japanese.
1840 - the internal border wasn't always cleared. This is fixed by moving
1841 the window relative to its frame and simplifies a lot of code, too.
1842 - fixed quite hard to find scrollbar colour bug, reported by Eduard
1843 Bloch.
1844
1845 3.0 Mon May 10 20:47:23 CEST 2004
1846 - experimental flickerfree resize mode (I tried to get even
1847 less flickering with SouthWestGravity but couldn't get it to work,
1848 sorry).
1849 - c++-ify (or at least make it compile with g++-3.4, which should
1850 make it a little bit more correct c++).
1851
1852 2.9 Sat May 8 19:13:41 CEST 2004
1853 - fix some minor doc issues + some generated doc files are now
1854 getting distributed (closes debian bug #246035).
1855 - minor i18n issue fixes.
1856
1857 2.8 Thu Apr 8 22:44:36 CEST 2004
1858 - replace PF_LOCAL by PF_UNIX (portability).
1859 - try to detect -lnsl and -lsocket (portability).
1860 - fix some minor bugs.
1861
1862 2.7 Mon Apr 5 02:11:15 CEST 2004
1863 - this version should now work fine with TERM=xterm, except
1864 for the keymappings.
1865 - don't leave the X or rxvtd sockets open in child processes.
1866 (inherited fd's stay open - different to rxvt).
1867 - xterm-compat: implemented OSC3, set/get window property. get is
1868 an extension and is slightly ugly.
1869 - removed --disable-swapscreen and SCROLL_ON_NO_SECONDARY and
1870 replaced them by runtime-configurable options secondaryScreen and
1871 secondaryScroll (-ssr and -ssc) (see debian bug #237673).
1872 - close down terminal window when child exits. (debian bug #241267).
1873 - xterm-compat: enable separate mouse bg colour setting.
1874 - re-enable mouse cursor colours again, fixing colours when fg/bg are
1875 overwritten (as is common).
1876 - xterm-compat: correctly implement privmodes 1047, 1048, 1049.
1877 - ported to solaris by elmar@math.uni-bremen.de.
1878
1879 2.6 Fri Apr 2 03:24:10 CEST 2004
1880 - minor doc corrections.
1881 - WARNING: changed menu sequence from ESC ] 10 to ESC ] 703 to
1882 avoid clashes with xterm.
1883 - changed OSC701/OSC702 sequence to return standard escaped reports.
1884 - xterm-compat: make set window colour and other requests report
1885 window colour when arg is "?".
1886 - enable colour tinting of "transparent" backgrounds.
1887 - stop ST sequences earlier, as we now react on 0x90 and thus
1888 cause conditions more often that look like locks but are, in
1889 fact, just rxvt waiting for a ST/BEL etc.
1890 - re-enabled most of the "dangerous" echo escapes, but only
1891 when -insecure is specified as option or resource (see reference).
1892 (FRILLS).
1893 - disables sleep(1) on transparency updates on default.
1894 - fixes to make it compile better on solaris 2.9 (at least).
1895 asprintf replacement is still missing(!).
1896 - set _NET_WM_PID.
1897
1898 2.5 Sun Mar 28 04:05:51 CEST 2004
1899 - the usual sprinkled little code cleanups.
1900 - support more 8-bit controls.
1901 - more informative error messages.
1902 - fix some minor memleaks and possible memory corruptions.
1903 - the use of exception handling allowed the following improvements:
1904 - no longer block when waiting for completion of escape sequences
1905 (e.g. printf '\e';sleep 3;printf 'c' will no longer block).
1906 - rxvtc usage errors should no longer kill rxvtd (debian bug #237510).
1907
1908 2.4 Tue Mar 16 07:06:51 CET 2004
1909 - fix stupid double-free() bug on exit.
1910 - implement xterm private mode 1049.
1911 - fix manpages (debian bug #236824).
1912 - removed old selection style completely.
1913 - selection works _better_ for non-8-bit and double-width chars.
1914 - remove native->unicode translation tables. they aren't used anymore.
1915 reduces binary and distro size a bit.
1916 - add string representation for JIS X 0213:2000 so these fonts can
1917 be used from within rxvt.
1918 - less buggy complete set of line-drawing-characters (0x2500-0x259f).
1919
1920 2.3 Sun Mar 14 19:00:07 CET 2004
1921 - code cleanup release.
1922 - fix compile problems without --enable-combining.
1923 - fix segfault when DISPLAY cannot be opened.
1924 - removed HOTKEY_CTRL and HOTKEY_SHIFT, ACS_*, FONT0_IDX,
1925 MAX_NFONTS. UNICODE and UTF8 defines and references from
1926 all files.
1927 - default config now reads an app-defaults file even without
1928 --enable-xgetdefault.
1929
1930 2.2 Thu Mar 11 01:41:56 CET 2004
1931 - implement autocompositing of characters by either using an existing
1932 precomposed unicode character or by graphical overlay. this is
1933 also used to store characters >16bit without --enable-unicode3.
1934 - selection now based on wchar_t, so that it can offer UTF-8
1935 selections even in locales unable to represent full unicode.
1936 - tis620-2529 is, of course, thai, not vietnamese...
1937 - a typoe prevented characters >65535 to be stored properly.
1938 - wcwidth is unreliable in non-unicode-locales on GNU/Linux.
1939 working around this fixes line-drawing characters in non-utf-8 mode.
1940 - improved rounding when emulating line-drawing characters.
1941 - implement continuation lines in xresource parsing when
1942 --disable-xgetdefault.
1943 - changed locale-setting esc-sequence from code 9 to code 701.
1944 also added 702 that returns the font selected for a specific
1945 unicode character.
1946 - no longer set CUT_BUFFER0. this is confusing and clients WILL
1947 get it wrong.
1948 - don't use XTextStyle for TEXT, instead use XStdICCTextStyle.
1949
1950 2.1 Wed Mar 3 21:48:39 CET 2004
1951 - NOTE: the name of the binary and resources were changed in
1952 this version, see README.configure if you want the old
1953 settings.
1954 - added plain "big5" encoding into CN.
1955 - make cns11643 and big5* encodings actually visible to rxvt.
1956 - fix a bug when a multibyte character fell onto a buffer boundary,
1957 causing the incomplete character to be presented twice to
1958 mbrtowc.
1959 - more robust encoding name matching.
1960 - fix cursor placement on multibyte characters.
1961 - when overwriting wide with narrow chars, pad with spaces.
1962 - fix various refresh and display issues for wide chars.
1963 - remove multibyte_cursor hack (it was a hack) and associated
1964 resources and docs.
1965 - fixed memory corruption bug with XLFD fontname parsing.
1966
1967 2.0 Sun Feb 29 23:59:58 CET 2004
1968 - do not blink text when background colour is not set explicitly.
1969 - some doc cleanup
1970 - configure cleanup
1971 - viscii enabled by default
1972 - better support for non-g++-3.2+ systems (tested with g++-2.95).
1973
1974 1.91 Fri Feb 27 03:57:44 CET 2004
1975 - build fixes for !xft and !im, reported by various people.
1976
1977 1.9 Wed Feb 25 16:46:05 CET 2004
1978 - fixed bug in plain scrollbar causing X errors in XCreateGC.
1979 - implemented sharing of X connections. will be used to speed
1980 up many x operations considerably. Also saves some memory.
1981 - implemented caching of input methods. This immensely shortens
1982 startup time for new terms in rxvtd. At least XFree86 4.3 is
1983 rather broken with respect to input methods, though, so expect
1984 crashes when you kill your input method (xterm et al. also crash).
1985 - fix bugs in X flushing, causing an empty screen after startup.
1986 - fix various memleaks in rxvtd.
1987 - fix a bug that kept escape codes to be generated for some
1988 keysyms that also have string translations, when not --enable-xim.
1989 reported by joel reed.
1990 - re-enabled esc-seq. for font-switching (\033 ] 50 ; <fontset> \007).
1991 - re-enabled menubar (experimental!).
1992 - fix bug in locale-handling that kept the correct locale from
1993 being selected.
1994 - implemented esc-seq. to switch locales (\033 ] 9 ; <locale> \007).
1995 - removed greek support.
1996 - allow NUL bytes (ctrl-@) to be entered even with XIM enabled.
1997 - correct cursor width if !focus.
1998 - fixed --enable-xgetdefault, reported by eduard bloch.
1999 - added manpage for rxvtc/rxvtd based on the one eduard bloch
2000 contributed.
2001 - use reverse video for normal bold text unless colorBD has been set.
2002 - fixed endless loop when selection is valid but empty.
2003 - changed default terminal name to "rxvt".
2004 - many other minor bugfixes.
2005
2006 1.8 Mon Feb 2 20:09:18 CET 2004
2007 - almost total conversion to C++. Except for introducing
2008 new bugs, this should not change much.
2009 - fix and re-enable background pixmap and inherit pixmap support.
2010 - re-enabled multiple scrollbar support.
2011 - added plain scrollbar style and restored xterm scrollbar.
2012 - blinking and selections work slightly better now.
2013 - fix an error condition when rxvt receives more than one screenful
2014 of output. should occur with original rxvt, too, but very rarely.
2015 (I guess the code contains more surprises of this sort...)
2016
2017 1.7 Fri Jan 30 16:50:11 CET 2004
2018 - further cleanups.
2019 - never do last-minute-changes: restore ability to have
2020 color + bold as high-intensity, and let the selection
2021 use reverse video, not _blink_.
2022 - remove OPTION_HC, at least temporarily. If you want it back,
2023 please drop me a note.
2024
2025 1.6 Fri Jan 30 00:34:01 CET 2004
2026 - cleanups, minor bugfixes.
2027 - blinking text.
2028 - normal text color + bold gets white text instead of
2029 normal text when colorBD is not set.
2030 (- support double-wide characters (by blocking).)
2031 was never implemented
2032
2033 1.5 Thu Jan 29 00:43:48 CET 2004
2034 - share io manager between rxvt-unicode and vpe
2035 - bugfix for --disable-utmp, reported by fefe himself
2036 - colors were sometimes not used correctly because
2037 parts of the code expected a monochrome display.
2038 reported by fefe
2039 - make it compile without pointer_blank, reported by
2040 Markus Demleitner
2041 - improved selection support, now supports UTF8_STRING
2042 and properly encodes CUT_BUFFER0 in iso-8859-1
2043 - completely removed non-working graphics mode
2044
2045 1.4 Fri Jan 16 23:03:22 CET 2004
2046 - fix stupid segfault on esc-c
2047 - small font tunings
2048 - much better io manager, fewer bugs, higher speed
2049 - better error reporting for unknown options
2050
2051 1.3 2003-12-26
2052 - fix a bug in font height selection
2053 - autoscale scalable x11 fonts
2054 - slow-mode xft rendering centers characters
2055 - much faster x11 font selection
2056
2057 1.2 2003-12-24
2058 - fix another segfault-on-resize-bug from the original rxvt
2059 - better font matching
2060 - better memory management (less memory)
2061 - new fallback: gnu freefont
2062
2063 1.1 2003-12-18
2064 - Support for XIM in other than the current locale.
2065 - Support for non-utf-8-locales
2066 - much improved font choosing
2067
2068 1.0 2003-12-18
2069 - first release
2070 - originally cloned from rxvt-CVS 2003-11-19 00:26
2071 - removed rclock et al.
2072 - initial conversion to C++
2073
