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
34
35 TODO: document typical actions in rxvt.1.pod keysyms
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: pixel 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: rclock horribly time-biased
46 TODO: rclock iso date mode?
47 TODO: printf "\e[4:3m" - "undercurl" - should probbaly be interpreted as underline, rather than \e[43m
48 TODO: feature where I can just click on (y/p/n) when prompted after pasting text to the terminal?
49
50 TODO: 08:11:16 <dg> in some cases printf "\e]50;\a" can be a crash
51 08:11:50 <dg> it seems to depend a bit on setup, two in a row maybe needed
52 - what font dpes urxvtr flal back ion this case? why not fixed?
53 07:28:56 <dg> schmorp: try printf '\e]50;\a\xe7\xaf\xad'
54 07:29:15 <dg> i'm guessing the builtin font doesn't have that character (篭)
55 07:29:40 <dg> on one machine with 9.30 that segfaults, with what looks like a null pointer deref
56 07:29:58 <dg> on latest dev, but a different machine it hangs
57 07:33:26 <dg> hmm, and on openbsd it doesn't even hang with that reduction, but the actual case the fuzzer
58 found does hang
59 07:34:02 <dg> curl -o - dg.cx/f12-afl-urxvt-id0-src517.txt
60
61 TODO: nmeum reports that when the wm resizes urxvt while it opens, the prompt is now somewhere in the middle
62 of the window, rather than near the top. this behaviour change wss part of the wrapmode fix, and should normally
63 prevent from readline jumping around on resizes. running urxvt with the exact geometry that the wm will assign "fixed" this.
64 https://github.com/exg/rxvt-unicode/commit/1eb2c326cb88ee7bae01e995a16829746bfe374e
65
66 - fix reference counting of values returned by some perl bindings.
67 - fix OSC responses with 7-bit ST (reported by Stuart Henderson).
68 - change the encoding of buttons 8-11 in mouse reporting
69 sequences to match xterm's and enable reporting of release
70 events for them (patch by Pierre-Marc Fournier).
71 - clamp coordinates in mouse reporting sequences to the number
72 of rows and columns (patch by Nick Hanley).
73 - added Alt_L/ALt_R and updated some keys in iso 14755 5.2 mode.
74 - perl 5.38 does not handle empty locale names, use "C" instead
75 (patch by sxzzsf).
76
77 9.31 Mon 02 Jan 2023 18:13:16 CET
78 - implement a fix for CVE-2022-4170 (reported and analyzed by David Leadbeater).
79 While present in version 9.30, it should not be exploitable. It is exploitable
80 in versions 9.25 and 9.26, at least, and allows anybody controlling output to
81 the terminal to execute arbitrary code in the urxvt process.
82 - the background extension no longer requires off focus fading support
83 to be compiled in.
84 - the confirm-paste extension now offers a choice between pasting the original
85 or a sanitized version, and also frees up memory used to store the paste text
86 immediately.
87 - fix compiling without frills.
88 - fix rewrapMode: never.
89 - fix regression that caused urxvt to no longer emit responses
90 to OSC color queries other than OSC 4 ones.
91 - fix regression that caused urxvt to no longer process OSC 705.
92 - restore CENTURY to be 1900 to "improve" year parsing in urclock (or at
93 least go back to the old interpretation) (based on an analysis
94 by Tommy Pettersson).
95 - exec_async (used e.g. by the matcher extension to spawn processes) now
96 sets the URXVT_EXT_WINDOWID variable to the window id of the terminal.
97 - implement -fps option/refreshRate resource to change the default 60 Hz
98 maximum refresh limiter. I always wanted an fps option, but had to
99 wait for a user requesting it.
100 - new clickthrough extension.
101 - perl now also requires Xext.
102 - X region and shape extension functionality has been exposed to perl
103 extensions.
104 - RENDER extension no longer depends on ENABLE_XIM_ONTHESPOT.
105
106 9.30 Sat 27 Nov 2021 21:07:09 CET
107 - the background extension did not initialise properly when automatically
108 loaded via the OSC.
109 - new "on_attach" hook type implemented, to initialise late-loading
110 extensions.
111
112 9.29 Mon 22 Nov 2021 18:07:14 CET
113 - libptytty (http://dist.schmorp.de/libptytty/) is now a required
114 external dependency.
115 - enable confirm-paste extension by default, can be disabled by e.g.
116 URxvt.perl-ext: -confirm-paste
117 - Key bindings specified with the -keysym option or with resources of
118 the form URxvt*keysym work again. Such resources, as opposed to
119 resources of the form URxvt.keysym, were not officially allowed but
120 accepted, so ignoring them is considered a regression.
121 - new option/resource -rm/rewrapMode, which sets the line rewrap
122 mode to auto, never or always.
123 - new option/resource -dpb/disablePasteBrackets, which can be used to
124 disable bracketed paste mode sequences, as more and more programs
125 abuse these sequences (typically in the name of security, but these
126 sequences are not improving security). Also, bracketed paste mode
127 is now under frills.
128 - add manpage for urclock.
129 - confirm-paste wrongly considered brackets as ctrlchars (patch by
130 Jakub Wilk, debian bug #995244).
131 - if urxvt cannot detect a good estimate for font width (because a font does
132 not contain latin characters at all for example), it will now fall
133 back to xft's max_advance_width, which works well with some fonts. It
134 currently will warn about this.
135 - do not render variation selectors in the default font as boxes, treat
136 them as zero-width characters.
137 - change combining character architecture to allow fonts to handle
138 combining sequences on their own. This could allow future renderers
139 to be more intelligent about these sequences.
140 - use the previous enhancement to allow unicode characters outside of the
141 BMP to be rendered even without --enable-unicode3, as long as an
142 xft with the character is configured.
143 It's recommended to stay with disabled unicode3 even more now.
144 - freetype/xft have been verified to return nonsensical offsets for
145 combining characters. urxvt tries to compensate to some extent,
146 but diacritics will be slightly off in many cases, and far off in
147 some cases (e.g. input mono).
148 - when checking for overlap/careful handling, take non-basefont
149 character shifts into account.
150 - extensions can now request autoloading on OSC and Perl OSC sequences,
151 implement this for the background, clipboard-osc and overlay-osc
152 extensions.
153 - the background extension will now be autoloaded when the OSC 20 or 705
154 sequence is received.
155 - added OSC 776 sequence to return character cell width, height and font
156 ascent, which is useful when using urxvt as slave to calculate window
157 size form or to row/column count.
158 - matcher extension documentation now points out some requirements for
159 regular expressions. the default url matching regex will now try
160 to match IRLs in addition to URLs.
161 - The view_start perl method now scrolls to the bottom also when the
162 argument is greater than 0.
163 - eval scroll actions now scroll to the bottom when scrolling down and
164 there are less lines to scroll than the ones requested (reported by
165 Stephen Talley).
166 - allow perl-ext and perl-ext-common to override autoloaded extensions.
167 this allows tabbed to disable itself in subtabs, avoiding recursive
168 loading.
169 - update precompose table to unicode 13.0.
170 - update charset conversion tables to perl 5.32 (this only affected
171 cs_koi8_u_from_unicode).
172 - unicode characters > 0x100000 were not handled correctly w.r.t.
173 font rendering.
174 - replace bitstream vera by dejavu sans, as it has replaced the former
175 almost everywhere.
176 - urxvt will now try tic -x first and only fall back to tic without -x
177 when tic -x fails.
178 - fix urclock not erasing the old date on the clock face, causing
179 overdraw, plus a host of other small fixes and improvements.
180 - shave off over 1K of code size from urclock by replacing the sine table
181 with a slightly less accurate fixed point approximation.
182 - do not specify indentation with =over in pod, this is no longer
183 needed with semi-modern pod tools and gives the formatter more
184 stylistic freedom.
185 - background extension did not set the "size-sensitive" flag
186 when repeat mode wasn't normal.
187 - extensions are now subjected to "use strict 'subs'".
188 - avoid crashing when xft successfully opens a font but then somehow
189 can't lock the face.
190 - locale_decode/encode api methods now pass through undef unchanged.
191 - fix undefined behaviour in the perl hook function, as diagnosed by clang.
192
193 9.26 Fri May 14 19:14:14 CEST 2021
194 - ev_iouring.c was wrongly required during compilation, and wrongly
195 not packaged.
196
197 9.25 Fri May 14 15:51:36 CEST 2021
198 - for the 17.5th anniversary, and because many distributions seem to
199 remove rxvt in favour of urxvt, this release resurrects rclock as
200 urclock.
201 - add support for systemd socket-based activation - debian bug #917105,
202 freebsd bug #234276.
203 - do not destruct perl on exit anymore: this might fail for a variety of
204 reasons, and takes unnecessary time.
205 - remove any macros from urxvtperl manpage(s), should fix debian
206 bug 858385.
207 - the old bg image resources are now provided by the background
208 extension, and perl is thus required for bg image support. No
209 configuration change is needed: urxvt autoloads the background
210 ext if any bg image resource/option is present (for OSC sequences to
211 work you need to enable it explicitly). The old bg image
212 resources are also now deprecated; users are encouraged to
213 switch to the new bg image interface (see man urxvt-background).
214 - confirm-paste now checks for any ctlchars, not just newlines.
215 - searchable scrollback will now ignore bracketed paste mode sequences
216 (prompted by Daniel Gröber's patch).
217 - drop ISO 2022 locale support. ISO 2022 encodings are not supported in
218 POSIX locales and clash with vt100 charset emulation (the luit
219 program can be used as a substitute).
220 - perl didn't parse rgba colours specified as an array correctly,
221 only allowing 0 and 100% intensity for each component (this affected
222 fill and tint).
223 - when iterating over resources, urxvt will now try to properly handle
224 multipart resources (such as "*background.expr"), for the benefit
225 of autoloading perl extensions.
226 - ESC G (query rxvt graphics mode) has been disabled due to security
227 implications. The rxvt graphics mode was removed in rxvt-unicode 1.5,
228 and no programs relying on being able to query the mode are known.
229 - work around API change breakage in perl 5.28, based on a patch by
230 Roman Bogorodskiy.
231 - improved security: rob nation's (obsolete) graphics mode queries
232 no longer reply with linefeed in secure/default mode.
233 - ISO 8613-3 direct colour SGR sequences (patch by Fengguang Wu).
234 - xterm focus reporting mode (patch by Daniel Hahler).
235 - xterm SGR mouse mode.
236 - implement DECRQM. Patch by Přemysl Eric Janouch.
237 - add missing color index parameter to OSC 4 response. Patch
238 by Přemysl Eric Janouch.
239 - in some window managers, if smart resize was enabled, urxvt
240 erroneously moved the window on font change - awesome bug
241 #532, arch linux bug ##34807 (patch by Uli Schlachter).
242 - fix urxvtd crash when using a background expression.
243 - properly restore colors when using fading and reverse video
244 is enabled while urxvt is focused and then disabled while it
245 is not focused, or vice versa (patch by Daniel Hahler).
246 - fix high memory usage when an extension repeatedly hides and
247 shows an overlay (reported by Marcel Lautenbach).
248 - expose priv_modes member and constants to perl extensions
249 (patch by Rastislav Barlik).
250 - fix a whole slew of const sillyness, unfortunately forced upon
251 us by ISO C++.
252 - update to libecb 0x00010006.
253 - disable all thread support in ecb.h as we presumably don't need it.
254 - slightly improve Makefile source dependencies.
255 - work around bugs in newer Pod::Xhtml versions (flags incorrect formatting codes
256 in xhtml/html sections but does not interpret correct ones).
257
258 9.22 Sat Jan 23 21:07:33 CET 2016
259 - NOTICE: this release updates terminfo.
260 - add terminfo capabilities for various ctrl and shift-ctrl key variants
261 (patch by Sebastian Schmidt).
262 - fix longstanding core font encoding bug where some character
263 ranges could not be mapped from unicode to the font: affected
264 encodings are big5, gb2312, iso8859-8 (hebrew), jis0201 and
265 ksc5601 (reported by Mikachu).
266 - fix crash when the number of columns is 1 and a 0 width character is inserted
267 (reported by Kuang-che Wu).
268 - fix a crash when parsing an invalid color specification (reported by Kuang-che Wu).
269 - fix a buffer overflow in font name parser (reported by Kuang-che Wu).
270 - do not start blinking cursor if the window is unfocused (reported by
271 Devin J. Pohly).
272 - change the width of underline and i-beam cursor to 2 pixels (based on
273 a patch by Omar Sandoval).
274 - add pointerShape resource to change the mouse pointer shape
275 (based on a patch by Brian Watson).
276 - a keysym resource for a key which is already bound to an
277 action now properly rebinds the key.
278 - do not report mouse motion events if Shift is active (patch by Daniel Hahler).
279 - put the alpha component last in responses to OSC color queries
280 (patch by Benjamin Herr).
281 - the key_press hook is now invoked before processing the
282 event, as documented. This change was done in 9.21 but not
283 announced and fixes debian bugs #511377, #531751 and red hat
284 bug #1105069. Note that this change breaks a few scripts,
285 such as mark-yank-urls, which rely on the previous buggy
286 behaviour that urxvt processes the event (in particular
287 keysym bindings) before invoking the hook.
288 - the tabbed extension now properly refreshes the active tab
289 on a key press when the mouse pointer is outside the terminal
290 window.
291 - add 'lookup_keysym' perl method to lookup the action bound
292 to a key combination.
293 - a key combination bound to 'matcher:select' can now be used
294 to cycle through the matches in matcher.
295 - change perl integer accessors (->width et al.) into mutators.
296 - this version has been verified to work with perl 5.8.3.
297
298 9.21 Wed Dec 31 14:50:03 CET 2014
299 - the "moa redraw 8-bit british vintage colour management" release.
300 - NOTICE: this release updates terminfo.
301 - fix pixel droppings on overdraw when a secondary core font has the
302 same height but different ascent.
303 - implement cvvis in terminfo as blinking cursor, to distinguish it
304 from cnorm (emacs uses cvvis which is commonly a blinking cursor).
305 - when xft support was compiled in, colour queries erroneously returned
306 premultiplied values, this also affected internal queries, for example
307 when calculating faded colour. alpha is now divided out when possible,
308 which is more correct but loses colour resolution.
309 - add DECSCUSR xterm extension to set the cursor to a vertical bar.
310 - add 'extension:string' action, and associated on_action perl
311 hook, for keysym resources that invokes actions provided by
312 perl extensions. The 'perl:string' action and
313 on_user_command hook are deprecated but still supported.
314 - add 'builtin-string' action for keysym resources that restores string
315 mappings for keys that have predefined actions in urxvt.
316 - add -k option to urxvtc for killing the daemon process.
317 - document urxvtd's -e/--eval option that was implemented in 9.16,
318 but not documented.
319 - add -dockapp option to make the wm treat urxvt as a dockapp.
320 - add -mc option and multiClickTime resource to set the maximum time
321 between multi-click select events (patch by Joe Peterson).
322 - new 'eval' extension to evaluate arbitrary perl code with keysym
323 bindings. The extension also provides methods that implement basic
324 actions, such as pasting selections and scrolling.
325 - the macosx-clipboard and macosx-clipboard-native extensions have been removed.
326 - kuake extension now uses the kuake.hotkey resource to specify the hotkey.
327 - new 'matcher:select' mode of matcher to iterate over the matches with the keyboard.
328 - the 'matcher:list' feature of matcher now honours the launcher
329 associated to a matched pattern.
330 - speed-up matcher underlining on very long lines (reported by Edward Z. Yang).
331 - fix up/down commands of searchable-scrollback so that they always move
332 to the previous/next logical line with a match, if any.
333 - searchable-scrollback resource has been deprecated (use keysym instead).
334 - extension parameter passing is deprecated (use resource mechanism instead).
335 - upgrade to GPLv3 (see COPYING).
336 - compile out of the box on Solaris 10, again.
337 - fix height and position of the stippled area in next scrollbar (patch
338 by Thomas Otto).
339 - fix off-by-one bug causing the iso14755 window not to jump out of the
340 way properly.
341 - fix crash that may happen if a lib to which urxvt is linked to calls setenv.
342 - fix memory leak in special_{encode,decode} perl methods.
343 - fix refresh bug that occurs when reverse video is set on a cell
344 containing a space and with the same bg and fg colour, red hat bug
345 #830236.
346 - fix crash that may happen if an x error is received after a terminal
347 window/popup has been destroyed already.
348 - removed superfluous 0 digit from sgr terminfo sequence.
349 - greatly improve colour allocation on colour-starved pseudocolour
350 displays to avoid read-write cells instead of simply failing
351 (this is only relevant for antique 8bpp frame buffers).
352 - do not free fade colours when not doing fading (this is likely
353 only relevant for antique 8bpp frame buffers).
354 - do not specialcase 2 or 4 colour visuals, leading to
355 simpler and actually more correct code.
356 - hopefully no longer leak colours on !truecolour visuals.
357 - use consistent method names (scr_recolour => scr_recolor).
358 - use simpler (but slightly less bogus) formula for nearest
359 colour choice (this is likely only relevant for antique 8bpp
360 frame buffers).
361 - remove fallback behaviour when initialising colours - the
362 behaviour was inconsistent between startup vs. later and
363 was only effective when valid colours couldn't be allocated.
364
365 9.20 Sat Apr 26 16:22:27 CEST 2014
366 - (libptytty) fix bug that prevented urxvtd from writing utmp
367 entries when using --fork (reported by Ryan Kavanagh).
368 - security bugfix: window property values could be queried even
369 in secure mode (reported by Conor McCarthy).
370 - fix build when perl is enabled and fading is disabled.
371 - fix regression that broke continuous scrolling when pressing
372 and holding the scrollbar up or down button, gentoo bug #493992.
373 - increase the maximum length of a command sequence to 32k bytes,
374 to allow longer OSC sequences (previous limit was 2k).
375 - new Ctrl-Meta-c and Ctrl-Meta-v bindings to interact with
376 the CLIPBOARD selection.
377 - new extension: selection-to-clipboard.
378 - the extensions macosx-clipboard and macosx-clipboard-native
379 are deprecated and will be removed in the next release.
380 Support for the clipboard on OS X can be more generally
381 enabled by setting the XQuartz preference to sync the OS X
382 pasteboard and the X11 clipboard.
383
384 9.19 Sun Oct 27 17:16:07 CET 2013
385 - work around perl 5.18.0 breakage in tabbed extension
386 (reported by Karol Blazewicz) and in pod (Dominic Hargreaves).
387 - fix regression that caused the double-click word selection to
388 erroneously include a tab on the left of the selected word.
389 - implement FOCUS variable and focus_fade function in background
390 expression, to allow focus-sensitive background images.
391 - add support for the set cursor style (DECSCUSR) control
392 function.
393 - honour cursorColor also when the cursor style is underline.
394 - export some Color_xxx constants to Perl.
395
396 9.18 Sun Mar 24 15:33:35 CET 2013
397 - fix regression that caused artifacts on resize.
398
399 9.17 Fri Mar 1 13:46:08 CET 2013
400 - add shade operator in background perl extension.
401 - avoid starting or ending the selection in the middle of wide
402 characters to avoid artifacts (reported by Tiago Resende).
403 - fix artifacts that may occur if the character in the cursor
404 cell has width > 1 (reported by Tiago Resende).
405 - fix regression that causes artifacts on scrolling if
406 saveLines is 0 and the window is resized (reported by Bert
407 Münnich).
408 - fix build when perl is enabled and pixbuf and transparency
409 are disabled.
410
411 9.16 Thu Dec 27 11:56:43 CET 2012
412 - the "so much new stuff your eyes will pop out" release.
413 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: renamed urlLauncher resource to url-launcher.
414 - fix processing of DEC private mode save sequences (patch by Patrick
415 Hemmer).
416 - perl extensions now have their own manpages, installed as urxvt-NAME(1),
417 e.g. urxvt-background(1) - see urxvt-extensions(1) for a list.
418 - fix disabling of cursor blink with the option-popup menu (based on a
419 patch by Jan Larres).
420 - the font height is not augmented anymore when lineSpace is non zero.
421 - fix "new pagemap" vs. "delete pagemap" mismatch ([] vs. non-[]),
422 as diagnosed by clang.
423 - fix height mismatch between active and inactive cursor when
424 lineSpace is non zero (patch by Stanislav Seletskiy).
425 - make it compile with LOCAL_X_IS_UNIX again (reported by

427 - completely redone background pixmap support - users can now
428 specify arbitrary expressions (And programs) that calculate
429 new terminal backgrounds. see the urxvt-background manpage
430 for details.
431 - xrender is now required for background pixmap support.
432 - perl extensions can now provide commandline switches and resources
433 which show up in -help etc.
434 - iso14755 51 mode window now displays row and column.
435 - implement a -visual switch and move that and -depth to frills, also
436 warn when we can't get the requested visual.
437 - new env variable: RXVT_PERL_LIB.
438 - allocate all screen memory in one go and let the virtual memory
439 subsystem sort it out. this simplifies code, improves access
440 locality, saves a bit of ram and makes things a bit faster, too.
441 - remove support for libafterimage.
442 - update to CVS version of libev, for a whopping 11kb size decrease.
443 - do not ship yet another copy of ecb.h, use the one in libev or
444 libptytty instead.
445 - selectively mark some methods as cache-hot/cache cold, which
446 might speed up execution but definitely decreases codesize.
447 - Fix regression that prevented the scrollbar trough color
448 from being applied (reported by Derek B. Noonburg).
449 - Fix the scrollbar size for rxvt style (patch by Mark Robinson).
450
451 9.15 Sat Jan 21 13:36:56 CET 2012
452 - remove "using namespace std" because clang erroneously
453 thinks thats an error.
454 - finding a matching font (e.g. bold version of the base font)
455 was broken (reported by Eamon Walker).
456 - fix parsing of bg image styles. They really work now.
457 - fix blurring of bg image borders when using xrender.
458 - fix xrender blur on common xrender implementations that do
459 not behave correctly when the same pixmap is used as source
460 and destination in composite operations.
461 - fix regression that caused tabbed to compute the wrong size
462 for tabs.
463 - allow again an empty suffix in a keysym list spec (patch by
464 Sung Pae).
465 - unsupported support for sun studio's CC added.
466 - fix -C option on solaris.
467
468 9.14 Wed Dec 21 18:40:33 CET 2011
469 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: the urxvtd default socket path is now
470 $HOME/.urxvt/urxvtd-<nodename>.
471 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: the "list" keysym expansion now requires
472 loading of the "keysym-list" perl extension.
473 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: A scale value of 0 in the bg image
474 geometry no longer enables tiling, so as to make it possible
475 to disable both scaling and tiling.
476 - overhaul of the bg image operations. The old operations have
477 been deprecated in favour of elementary operations and
478 styles built on top of the new operations and scale/position
479 settings. (Emanuele Giaquinta).
480 - support for libafterimage is deprecated and will be removed
481 in the next release.
482 - fix a crash caused by selection_check not properly resetting
483 out-of-bounds mark values (can happen when extending a selection
484 while scrolling up in curses programs for example).
485 - do not move the selection when scrolling up and the selection is
486 outside the scrolling region (Emanuele Giaquinta).
487 - fix display of bold bright black (reported by Ben Winslow).
488 - fix memory leak when urgentOnBell is set (patch by Nathaniel
489 Filardo).
490 - fix a redraw bug that occurs when a bg pixmap is set and the
491 wm does not honour the size hints set by urxvt. Now urxvt
492 forces the size of the terminal window to be a multiple of
493 the cell size.
494 - sanitise the argument of SD / SU sequences. Fixes a possible
495 crash when the argument is big enough, red hat bug #711137
496 (Emanuele Giaquinta).
497 - correctly split long lines when scrolling.
498 - urxvt now looks for perl extensions also in $HOME/.urxvt/ext.
499 - add bell-command perl extension to execute a command when a
500 bell event occurs (Ryan Kavanagh).
501 - add set_urgency perl binding to set/reset the urgency hint.
502 - consume button release event in matcher (exg).
503 - keyboard accessible list of recent matches in matcher
504 (Bob Farrell).
505 - properly process 'keysym' sequences in tabbed when using
506 'focus follows mouse' and the focus is on the main window
507 but not on the active terminal window (patch by Martin
508 Pohlack).
509 - support for the freedesktop startup-notification protocol (patch by
510 Michael Stapelberg).
511 - the direction of VPR and VPB commands was reversed.
512 - fix alignment of inherited root pixmap when it is a different size
513 than the root window and the terminal window is off the left or top
514 edge (Mikachu).
515 - make $self visible in "eval perl expression" popup action, also
516 handle exceptions better.
517 - fix parsing of '-e' when it occurs as an option argument, such as in
518 'urxvt -title -e' (Emanuele Giaquinta).
519
520 9.12 Wed Jun 29 14:34:28 CEST 2011
521 - fix regression in processing of SelectionNotify events.
522 urxvt would fail to request a selection if the owner did not
523 support the UTF8_STRING target.
524 - fix rendering of double width chars in certain circumstances, more
525 likely to happen if urxvt is compiled with 256 colors support as
526 urxvt runs out of fonts much earlier then. Fixes gentoo bug #358151
527 (Emanuele Giaquinta).
528 - restore support for 'list' syntax in keysym resources (requested by Sung Pae).
529 - always premultiply colour values - while this increases differences between
530 core fonts and xft, it is "more correct" in practical situations.
531 - disable PTYTTY_REENTRANT option - not needed for urxvt and saves a bit of code.
532 - remove lucidatypewriter from the list of fallback fonts, it was the only
533 non-xft non-cellfont in the list anyway.
534
535 9.11 Mon May 2 10:34:46 CEST 2011
536 - fix compilation on GNU/Hurd, debian bug #624736.
537 - remove 'list' syntax for keysym resources, as it serves no useful purpose.
538 If you need it, poke us and provide a use case.
539 - fix alpha channel support. Premultiply alpha in colours if the visual
540 supports an alpha channel, as xrender expects premultiplied alpha
541 (Emanuele Giaquinta).
542 - fix reply to a selection request sent by an obsolete client
543 such as syncterm (patch by Marcin Cieslak).
544 - fix crash when the window is resized and the overlay is active
545 (Emanuele Giaquinta, reported by Ryan Kavanagh).
546 - match character-wise rather than byte-wise in selection
547 extension again. perl 5.8.9+ is required to avoid extreme
548 slowdowns. Fixes debian bugs #523072, #616463.
549 - fix a possible crash if the INCR transfer process for a
550 selection property timeouts and at least one chunk is
551 received. (Emanuele Giaquinta)
552 - work around a memory corruption bug in xorg's XrmSetDatabase (apparently
553 broken since http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/xorg-commit-diffs/2004-March/000239.html).
554 - fix memory corruption bug when custom command sequences bound to keys
555 were injected into an already-full pty input buffer.
556 - gdk-pixbuf is autodetected by default and preferred over libafterimage.
557 - do not prepend a newline to the selection text when the starting line
558 of the selection is not highlighted (Emanuele Giaquinta).
559 - don't swap perl env with real env, save and restore it, just in case
560 we ever get recursive perl invocations. also saves a bit of codespace
561 with gcc.
562 - fix various memory leaks (Emanuele Giaquinta).
563 - fix typo in kIC terminfo capability, debian bug #446444.
564 - document 'thickness' resource.
565 - fix debian bug #504817, to the extent possible.
566 - try to detect byte order at compile time, saves a couple of
567 hundred bytes, if your compiler is smart enough.
568 - add support for previewing the pasted data in confirm-paste
569 (Emanuele Giaquinta).
570 - added "newlines to spaces" option in selection-popup.
571 - actually enabled solaris event ports backend (was disabled by accident).
572 - revert to 38400 baud max., mission accomplished.
573 - no longer create scary "pty_fill: PLEASE REPORT" message, instead,
574 silently drain the input (problem is well understood now).
575 - no longer swallow rob nation's own graphics mode commands.
576
577 9.10 Mon Dec 13 17:43:52 CET 2010
578 - the "schmorp=north korea dickey=south korea" release.
579 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: make OSC 20 simpler and more correct
580 (Emanuele Giaquinta).
581 - if options were compiled out, this could lead to the option
582 count to be defined wrongly. This is likely behind the
583 failures with gcc 4.5.
584 - explicitly depend on fontconfig and xrender when xft support
585 is enabled. Although the public Xft api uses types from
586 both, in Xft 2.2.0 these libs are private
587 dependencies only thanks to an idiotic behaviour of
588 pkg-config that was added to workaround cases like this one.
589 Fixes linking when using GNU ld with --as-needed or GNU gold
590 (based on patch by Jan Palus).
591 - fix minor memory leaks in urxvt and urxvtd.
592 - fix regression in urxvtd that prevented options from being correctly
593 set (reported by Michal Vaner).
594 - implement xterm's horribly broken 1005 mouse reporting mode,
595 and an alternative 1015 mode that works in non-utf-8 locales
596 and has fewer limitations.
597 - fix a possible bug where mouse notifications didn't work after
598 startup for the upper left corner.
599 - implement our own pixbuf to pixmap rendering to get rid of
600 dependency on buggy gdk-pixbuf-xlib. Only truecolor visuals
601 are supported (Emanuele Giaquinta).
602 - apply tinting before shading when both operations are requested.
603 Previously they were intermixed when lightening and the result
604 was inaccurate and confusing. Note that now a black tint yields a
605 completely black image, regardless of shading (Emanuele Giaquinta).
606 - avoid spurious redraws of the bg image when bg is transparent or
607 when using 'root' mode (Emanuele Giaquinta).
608 - fix build on XFree86.
609 - dynamically number options according to compiletime requirements.
610 For the extra saved byte. Or so. Yay.
611 - start options at one, not zero. Wastes a bit per terminal. Maybe.
612 saves 50 instruction bytes. Possibly.
613
614 9.09 Sat Nov 13 01:39:07 CET 2010
615 - NOTICE: this release updates terminfo/termcap.
616 - the bestest release ever.

619 - add support for using gdk-pixbuf as image backend (Emanuele Giaquinta).
620 - cleanup and minor fixes of the image code (Emanuele Giaquinta).
621 - new perl extension "confirm-paste" (Emanuele Giaquinta).
622 - new on_tt_paste perl hook and tt_paste perl binding (Emanuele Giaquinta).
623 - new on_bell perl hook (Emanuele Giaquinta).
624 - searchable-scrollback no longer ignores the first line
625 (Emanuele Giaquinta).
626 - properly set VSTATUS in termios for *BSD (reported by Ed Schouten).
627 - fix utmpx detection on upcoming FreeBSD 9.
628 - Use COMPOUND_TEXT encoding for WM_NAME/WM_ICON_NAME value when it
629 is not fully convertible to STRING (patch by James Cloos).
630 - fix a buffer overflow that would cause wrong key sequences to
631 be generated for numpad keys (introduced in 9.05).
632 - fix definition of sgr0 to work around limitations in luit.
633 - extend ISO 14755 5.4 mode to also print the font name of the
634 characters other than first one in the selected cell
635 (Emanuele Giaquinta).
636 - new iso14755 option to disable ISO 14755 at runtime
637 (Emanuele Giaquinta).
638 - make sure pagewise scrolling scrolls at least one line
639 (found by Mikachu).
640 - remove deprecated OSC 18 / 19 and make OSC 17 / 19 apply to
641 highlightColor / highlightTextColor (Emanuele Giaquinta).
642 - add highlightTextColor resource to change the foreground colour of
643 highlighted characters (Emanuele Giaquinta).
644 - make highlightColor apply also to selected cells with reverse video
645 but not to non selected cells with reverse video (Emanuele Giaquinta).
646 - remove colorRV resource (it was enabled only with frills off).
647 - fix numlock handling, the most longstanding bug to date (Emanuele Giaquinta).
648 - reduce the number of custom bits to 4, to make room
649 for 256 colours.
650 - add support for 256 colors (Emanuele Giaquinta, Marc Lehmann).
651 - add rxvt-unicode-256color terminfo and use it by default in 256 colors mode.
652 - update rxvt-unicode terminfo to state 7744 colour pairs to cover all
653 88*88 possible pairs.
654 - actually added macosx-clipboard-native, which should have been in
655 the 9.07 release but had been forgotten.
656 - fix hang if DECAWM is not set and there are not enough columns to insert a
657 character (Emanuele Giaquinta).
658 - cub1 ("backspace") will now respect wrapping when past the rightmost column,
659 working around a shortcoming of most tty line discipline's line editing.
660 - add support for grabbing the clipboard selection and extend
661 selection{_clear,_grab,} perl bindings to optionally work
662 on the clipboard selection (based on patch by Dana Jansens).
663 - no longer force CERASE to BACKSPACE - use the system default. affects
664 default value for VERASE only when no compatible setting for
665 backspacekey was given.
666 - use higher than 38400 baudrate setting, if detected.
667 - erase screen would clear to the wrong background when blinking
668 was enabled (which selects high intensity under some circumstances).
669 - scr_kill_char didn't touch the line.
670 - upgrade and port to libev-4.01.
671 - enabled solaris event ports and kqueue backends (if available).
672
673 9.07 Wed Dec 30 07:07:18 CET 2009
674 - port to glibc-2.10 changes (strchr etc. returning const char *
675 in C++), based on patches by Milos Jakubicek and Oliver Mader.
676 - the binary search algorithm to find precomposed characters
677 was faulty, skipping some possible combinations (found by
678 Mikachu).
679 - new -letterspace option, patch by Mark H. Wilkinson.
680 - enable --mlock option for urxvt with frills on
681 systems supporting it (patch by Russell Harmon).
682 - urxvt did not compile without frills enabled
683 (analysed by Matthew Rosewarne).
684 - correctly reset the mbstate after an illegal
685 input sequence when handling terminal output (Emanuele Giaquinta).
686 - avoid redrawing wide characters with combining enabled on every
687 refresh (reported by Mikachu).
688 - fix a typo preventing the ISO-646.1991 character set from being
689 recognized (http://achurch.org/patch-pile/).
690 - better warning for x11 font encoding detection failures, also,
691 try to deduce encoding from both font properties and name
692 (adapted from http://achurch.org/patch-pile/).
693 - resizing the window with the scrollbar disabled via the escapes
694 sequence could make the window bigger again (Mikachu).
695 - make sure the alignment for fd passing control messages
696 is correct and work around some NetBSD issues (Taylor R Campbell).
697 - update to libptytty 1.3.
698 - replace macosx-clipboard by a nicer version by Reza Jelveh, and move
699 the old version to macosx-clipboard-native.
700 - document the -uc option (Emanuele Giaquinta).
701 - assertions in libev are now enabled depending on frills.
702 - update AnyEvent implementation to version 5.23 API.
703 - work around arrogant bsd idiocies again: netbsd spills the default
704 namespace with lots of symbols "for gnu/gcc compatibility" even
705 though neither of them does it, and then calls the rest of the world
706 in need of fixing. go figure.
707 - on_keyboard_command is on_user_command (patch by Michael Witten).
708 - setting the selection from perl will now reset the selection screen
709 to the current screen. the screen can be manipulated using
710 the new ->selection_screen method.
711 - implement --enable-assert configure option and get rid of DEBUG_STRICT
712 (based on patch by Emanuele Giaquinta).

717
718 9.06 Sat Nov 8 17:47:18 CET 2008
719 - NOTICE: this release updates terminfo/termcap.
720 - updates libev to 3.48.
721 - the aterm code now frees the as visual and image manager objects
722 when a window was closed.
723 - do not (wrongly) adjust the virtual line length inside
724 scr_insdel_chars/ERASE (Miroslav Lichvar).
725 - fix an issue where wide tab characters caused character shifts
726 when part of them was deleted (tracked down by Miroslav Lichvar).
727 - artificially enlargen the previous character at the end of a line
728 when trying to output a character that doesn't fit. looks ugly, but
729 makes copy&paste work.
730 - remove bogus "setuid/setgid security issues" from rxvt.1.pod, they
731 no longer apply.
732 - the urgency hint is now cleared on both focus in and focus out.
733 - cache urgency hint locally to avoid server rtt on every focus change.
734 - perl 5.10 needs PERL_SYS_INIT3 on hppa.
735 - ignore byte-order marks and do not treat them like combining characters.
736 - fix build issue when CURSOR_BLINK is not defined (Emanuele Giaquinta).
737 - do some µ-optimisations to the character fast path.
738 - use a less cunning, but more robust algorithm to avoid one terminal
739 monopolising the whole process by outputting a lot of text.
740 - try to work around linux first breaking sched_yield and now breaking
741 the only known workaround.
742 - new option -icon to set _NET_WM_ICON (based on patch by Frank Schmitt).
743 - initialise the as visual only on demand, instead of unconditionally,
744 to save memory in the common case of not using visual gimmicks.
745 - try to work around bugs in a few wm's that erroneously resize
746 client windows on hint property updates by temporarily
747 disabling size hints.
748 - implement the DECSTR soft reset sequence and use it for tput init,
749 and make hard RIS and DECSTR both reset more private modes, such
750 as mouse reporting.
751 - redundantly clear mouse reporting and a few other states in
752 tput init/tput reset, for older urxvts.
753 - partial/full clear screens did cause flickering and possibly pixel
754 droppings when urxvt viewed the scrollback buffer.
755 - use current rendition style in DCH sequence.
756 - the 132/80 mode switch no longer forces a screen reset.
757 - add an osc sequence to change the border colour (Emanuele Giaquinta).
758 - new perl extension "overlay-osc", for status displays and the like.
759 - fix some minor cursor drawing issues with overlays by allowing
760 overlays to modify screen flags (to disable the cursor themselves).
761 - work around programs not restoring rstyle before rmcup
762 (analysed by Miroslav Lichvar).
763
764 9.05 Sun Jun 15 20:09:20 CEST 2008
765 - new option --cd/chdir to set the starting working directory.
766 - tabbed extension now starts in the "correct" working directory.
767 - work around fedora 9 providing isastream but not the relevant
768 header file for it (report by Tuncer Ayaz).
769 - upgrade libev, fixing a bug in the select backend.
770 with more than 31 file descriptors on non-linux 64 bit systems.
771 - correctly reset the multibyte state to the initial one
772 after EILSEQ (patch by Neil Booth). This fixes the
773 issue of rxvt-unicode not properly displaying text after an illegal
774 sequence on NetBSD and probably other systems.
775 - more intelligent property handling with -pe tabbed, works around
776 broken window managers (kwm et al.), saves bandwidth and should
777 help working window managers as well.
778 - made tabs moveable (based on a patch by Petr Machata).
779 - implement ESC [ 3 K as a more rational alternative to ESC [ 0 K.
780 - support relative paths for RXVT_SOCKET in urxvtd.
781 - the tabbed extension now blindly copies over all (rxvt-) resources
782 from the toplevel window to the children.
783 - better diagnostic on 0x0 window geometries.
784 - update AnyEvent API to version 3.4 and above.
785 - document the default value of :0 for DISPLAY.

789 - the "exg makes everybody happy" release.
790 - fix build with !xft.
791 - always compile in plain style scrollbar (simplifies code and looks great).
792
793 9.01 Sat Jan 26 20:49:27 CET 2008
794 - be more aggressive about handling X events, this seems to be required
795 with newer xlibs (should fix the "screen stays black until event is
796 received" problem, again :)
797 - add buffered resource to control xft double-buffering.
798
799 9.0 Fri Jan 25 19:34:04 CET 2008
800 - fix a crash bug where urxvtd would crash when urxvtc was called
801 with wrong arguments (I wish debian maintainers in general would
802 report bugs and their proposed fixes to the original package maintainers
803 instead of sitting on them for good measure to see if anybody notices).
804 - drawing xft compose characters was causing garbage to be drawn.
805 - correctly clear xft character background in all cases.
806 - implement bracketed paste mode (xterm private mode 2004).
807 - improve documentation on alpha channel handling, make urxvt
808 work better on servers lacking the RENDER extension when alpha
809 channels or background images are used.
810 - check for refresh after initialising to avoid staying blank
811 till the first event arrives. or so.
812 - the FORCE_UNBUFFERED_XFT feature macro works again.
813 - continuously update transparency while moving/resizing now.
814 - OSC 39/49 are deprecated and aliased to OSC 10/11.
815 - cub1 now acts as advertised (and ignores the "wrapped" state).
816 - the 132/80 mode switch now forces a height of 24, too, and
817 resets the terminal.
818 - scrollbar code cleanups.
819 - stopping children is no longer confused with children exiting.
820 - removed (undocumented) #aarrggbb format.
821 - updated to libev 3.0.
822
823 8.9 Mon Dec 24 07:51:40 CET 2007
824 - fix the issue where urxvtd would not immediately close a window
825 when the command exited but only on the next X event.
826 - changed terminfo file not to use application keypad mode.
827 - fix the issue where making a selection in one urxvtd window
828 would not clear it visually in another.
829 - fix an issue of urxvt not getting background pixmap updates
830 and flickering after bg pixmap changes (reported by Mikachu).
831 - fix redraw bug in xterm scrollbar with -sr (reported by Mikachu).
832 - correctly provide dependencies for libev (µikachu).
833 - minor code reorganisations and cleanups.
834 - be more robust in case the urxvt-popup extension cannot be loaded.
835
836 8.8 Sat Dec 15 19:40:39 CET 2007
837 - option -C was aliased to all unsupported options, activating
838 options that shouldn't be compiled in, leading to interesting
839 effects.
840 - updated libev, working around a bug in linux 2.4, curing the
841 symptom of urxvt not closing its window on shell exit. also
842 fixes a problem with urxvt not refreshing.
843 - the text blink callback was called even when no blinking
844 text was visible.
845 - pre-8.4 slipwheeling behaviour has been reinstated, with
846 some minor improvements.
847 - streamlined x events processing to only flush once per
848 display and not once per terminal window.
849 - quite a bit of minor code cleanups and codesize optimisations.
850
851 8.7 Sun Nov 25 10:23:49 CET 2007
852 - update libev with an important bugfix that would cause crashes
853 when closing windows (when using rxvtd, and update is recommended).
854 - do not compile in the block builtin graphics with --disable-frills.
855
856 8.6 Fri Nov 23 14:10:57 CET 2007
857 - upgrade libev to disable kqueue on anything but netbsd as it
858 seems to be broken everywhere else w.r.t. ptys.
859 - allow for spurious event notifications, as at least epoll and
860 especially solaris ports like to lie about them (symptoms:
861 urxvt "hangs" until there is some x11 related activity).
862 - -keysym command line options are now subjected to xlib parsing.
863 - add 'xrm' option analogous to Xt one.
864
865 8.5a Wed Nov 21 10:16:33 CET 2007
866 - make it compile with --disable-transparency.
867
868 8.5 Wed Nov 21 05:19:20 CET 2007
869 - expect major portability issues in this release: please test and report.
870 - converted from the veritable io manager event loop to
871 the high performance libev (http://software.schmorp.de/pkg/libev).
872 - minor tuning to the perl selection (include single words and more quoting chars).
873 - fix memory leak in pixmap code.
874 - fix a serious bug while setting the XIM destroy callback
875 on (typical) 64 bit systems.
876 - automove-background functionality re-implemented internally using :root op in pixmap
877 geometry string. For example: rxvt -pixmap "image.jpg;:root"
878 - do not link rxvtc against every lib on the planet anymore.
879 - parallel builds should work once more.
880
881 8.4 Sat Oct 27 14:02:13 CEST 2007
882 - overhaul of the transparency/pixmap code (sasha).
883 - fix possible race between visual bell and poweron.
884 (reported by Martin von Gagern, gentoo?).
885 - urxvt -e no longer crashes the child.
886 - fixed some minor memleaks on incorrect usage or
887 missing DISPLAY.
888 - implement xterm 1002/1003 mouse tracking modes (exg).
889 - source code organisational cleanups (exg).
890 - updated io_manager.
891
892 8.3 Wed Aug 1 20:21:31 CEST 2007
893 - new option: skipScroll/-ss, enabled by default.
894 - go with the times and expect x11 library files in /usr/lib, not
895 /usr/X11R6/lib.
896 - initial transparency improvement/afterimage support
897 patch by Sasha Vasko.
898 - add urgentOnBell resource to set the urgency hint
899 (patch by Philip Paeps).
900 - do not process focus events caused by grabs
901 (patch by Mikachu).
902 - add iso14755_52 resource to disable iso14755 5.2 (exg).
903 - add binding for backspace in iso14755 5.1 to remove the last
904 digit (exg).
905 - better option handling, support more than 30 options (exg).
906 - nuke reconf script, serves no purpose anymore.
907 - fixed and documented matcher/on_user_command processing in matcher
908 extension (tpope).
909 - compile out of the box on Solaris 10 (exg).
910 - fix MappingNotify events (reported by Stephan Walter).
911 - zero-initialise mwmhints, this seems to solve all sorts of minor
912 problems.
913
914 8.2 Sat Feb 17 21:35:28 CET 2007
915 - fix make depend in src/, reported by exg.
916 - fixed typo in urxvt::GET_CUSTOM, causing the result to be wrong.
917 (patch by Sergey Vlasov).
918 - unbundled iom perl interface somewhat.
919 - scrollbar-xterm now uses the selected scrollColor instead of fg
920 (found by Aiviru).
921 - disabled linux kernel bug workaround again: disabling it gives
922 a 50% speed hit on affected machines, while enabling it gives
923 a similar speed hit to screen, which is likely the more common
924 case to work around for :/
925 - urxvt::rend2mask perl function, and utilization of it by matcher
926 (patch by Moshe Kamensky).
927 - use perl:matcher on a keysym to open most recently displayed URL.
928 - with matcher, when multiple patterns match, last wins, not first.
929 - fix make and make install with srcdir != builddir (exg).
930 - updated bundled libptytty to fix a bug where the tty would be kept
931 open (see the libptytty ChangeLog for details).
932 - delay setting the IUTF8 flag to after the tty settings have been
933 set so its value does not get lost (reported and analysed by Andrei
934 Paskevich).
935 - rip out support for obsolete sgtty.h interface.
936 - rip out support for non-POSIX termios variants.
937 - update libptytty.
938 - update iom.C, make it call ptytty::sanitise_stdfd on init.
939 - when !XFT, change rounding of colours to use a less correct formula to
940 meet user expectancies (#aaa becomes #a000a000a000 not #9f9f9f9f9f9f).
941 - change the starting offset of the pixmap set with backgroundPixmap
942 from (50,50) to (0,0) (exg).
943 - fix a typo in button_release, now meta-button2 request the value of
944 the Clipboard selection as it should (patch by Serge Koksharov).
945 - fix a bug in drawing a cell with a nonspacing char when using an xft
946 font with inheritPixmap and tintColor (exg).
947
948 8.1 Thu Dec 7 22:27:25 CET 2006
949 - ケリスマスプレゼント - zomg!!1, it's too early!!!
950 - fix the assumption that chars < 256 are single-width. Now
951 only assume this for codepoints 32 to 126 (reported by Dai.H.).
952 - $term->strwidth returned wide chars as width 1, because some jerk
953 confused min and max. Fixing this also fixes xim-onthespot.
954 Reported by Takano Akio.
955 - secondaryScroll is now enabled by default (as per the manpage),
956 reported by exg.
957 - correct the description of [percent]color rgba format in the manpage.
958 - incorporated macosx-clipboard extension by Samuel Ljungkvist.
959 - ignore (some) useless focus events (reported by mmc).
960 - updated compose table to unicode 5.0.0.
961
962 8.0 Thu Nov 2 18:35:19 CET 2006
963 - combining characters cleared the area instead of creating an overlay,
964 thus losing the ability to draw combining characters properly in most
965 circumstances (reported by exg).
966 - specified fonts were incorrectly morphed to bold/italic according to the
967 basefont, even if explicitly specified (tracked down by tpope).
968 - fixed urxvt::strwidth to calculate width in the same way as screen.C.
969 - fix a crash caused by passing negative widths to overlay functions.
970 - added 'matcher' extension by tpope, replacing the mark-urls extension.
971 - improve url regex to match anything www.* (tpope).
972 - fixed bug with outline cursor color being wrong after xft fonts.
973 - update to libptytty-1.0.
974 - give proper diagnostic when RXVT_SOCKET is too long instead of
975 corrupting the stack (patch by exg).
976 - display current terminal locale in option menu.
977 - urxvtd no longer crashes when the client sends an inaccessible
978 working directory (reported by Roland Baer, possibly fixes gentoo
979 bug #143985).
980 - fixed many minor issues reported by Roland Baer.
981 - Leonid Khramov spotted a minor glitch in rxvtfont.C that
982 should not have any consequences, but was buggy nonetheless.
983 - manpage fix by exg.
984
985 7.9 Mon Aug 7 18:16:07 CEST 2006
986 - fix the crashing bug people encountered with 7.8 + urxvtd + perl
987 + transparency. Ought to fix debian bug #380348.
988 - fix urxvtc.1.pod: it actually claimed -pty-fd would not work. But
989 it does! :->
990 - rxvt_fatal() in case the locale string is too long for our static buffer.
991 - fixed many, many, typos in the manpages (patch supplied by ves).
992
993 7.8 Mon Jul 17 21:00:46 CEST 2006
994 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: this version will always read ~/.Xdefaults,
995 earlier versions only read it if display-resources (usually from
996 .Xresources) are not set. This avoids the #1 FAQ ("why isn't my
997 resource used") and seems to be logical behaviour, too. .Xdefaults
998 resources have a lower priority than display-specific resources.
999 - add "kuake" perl extension that does a similar thing to the kuake
1000 terminal emulator (see man urxvtperl).
1001 - use less "correct" color scaling that is compatible with libX11 and
1002 Xft (avoids off-by-one colors resulting in striped backgrounds).
1003 - the "depth" resource is now respected.
1004 - preset the searchable-scrollback pattern with "(?i)" to default search
1005 to case-insensitivity. Will automatically be cleared when typing an
1006 uppercase character.
1007 - add FORCE_UNBUFFERED_XFT define to features.h.
1008 - re-enabled highlightcolor support with --enable-frills, based on
1009 a patch by Martin Stubenschrott.
1010 - double-buffered xft drawing did suffer from pixel offset issues
1011 when pixmap transparency was enabled.
1012 - strategically add # to the url-match regexes, as we really want to
1013 match common URIs not common URLs. Reported by Aaron Griffin.
1014 - moved on_osc_seq to on_osc_seq_perl and added a more
1015 generic osc_seq.
1016 - fix a bug causing double callback invocations when perl hooks
1017 were invoked recursively.
1018 - the automove-background extension now properly works when the
1019 pixmap gets reset with an osc sequence (sqweek).
1020 - selection-pastebin did not work properly with non-latin1-characters.
1021 - apply colorUL only when the text colour is the default fg
1022 (patch by Wu Fengguang).
1023 - removed rxvtlib.h from the tarball, it had no reason to be there
1024 (spotted by Decklin Foster).
1025 - fix compiling with TRANSPARENT but !XPM_BACKGROUND, as reported
1026 by omatunto_.
1027 - slap in a using namespace std, might help on platforms that don't
1028 follow C++ closely enough.
1029 - fix mailto url regex, spotted within milliseconds by Jost Krieger.
1030 - applied fade_color_update_func.patch by WU Fengguang.
1031 - fix a bug where (due to an optimisation in av_delete), hiding the
1032 bottom-most overlay would hide two overlays.
1033
1034 7.7 Tue Feb 21 12:32:49 CET 2006
1035 - use double-buffered drawing (xft fonts only). On many driver/hardware
1036 combination this actually increases xft drawing speed, at the expense
1037 of more network bandwidth and slight nausea on the side of the author.
1038 - readline perl extension now requires shift-click instead of a normal
1039 click, and eats the click.
1040 - tabbed perl extension now supports -e.
1041 - disabled graphics-exposures on the main drawing GC, report any
1042 refresh bugs please.
1043 - improve property handling for -pe tabbed: avoid unnecessary property
1044 changes (for kde's benefit) at the expense of extra round-trips,
1045 improve size hint setting.
1046 - modified XIM according to a patch sent by Takano Akio that sets
1047 the preedit rectangle for OverTheSpot, which helps some input methods
1048 to correctly position their preedit window.
1049 - un-optimise the line clearing on newly scrolled-in lines a bit: the
1050 former reasoning was that any fg colour on default bg looks the same
1051 in empty spaces, but that's not true when reversing (e.g. selection),
1052 so also check for matching fg colours. This fixes the problem where
1053 selecting newly scrolled-in lines would exhibit wrong colours.
1054 - fix a bug in the perl interface causing focus in events to generate
1055 focus out perl events, causing bad focus effects with -pe tabbed.
1056 - fix a race resulting in a crash on exiting.
1057 - fix a with --disable-xft that caused xfreecolors to be called on
1058 colors never allocated, resulting in aborts (reported by Paco-Paco).
1059 - resources on non-initial screens weren't refetched correctly
1060 (reported by Paco-Paco).
1061 - fix a bug in xcopyarea pass and _disable_ it, as it seems not to be
1062 working in either rxvt-unicode nor in the original rxvt.
1063 - removed undocumented -exec alias for the -e option.
1064
1065 7.6 Fri Feb 10 08:52:36 CET 2006
1066 - changed interpretation of [alpha] colour prefix.
1067 - +option now really sets the option to default, instead of using the
1068 resource value.
1069 - options that require an argument now really _require_ an argument.
1070 - the tabbed extension now forwards focus and key events to the
1071 relevant tab window.
1072 - tab colours are now configurable and have sensible defaults
1073 (initial patch by hednod).
1074 - option menu is extendable, readline, selection and
1075 selection-autotransform can now be disabled/enabled at runtime.
1076 - forcing a configure event to tabbed subwindows with -pe tabbed, for
1077 the benefit of automove-background.
1078 - the automove-background extension added a wrong constant offset.
1079 - force refresh of XA_RESOURCE_STRING on virtual reconnect.
1080 - return exit status 2 in urxvtc when urxvtd couldn't be contacted.
1081 - the linux yield hack is back, now using usleep, and enabled only on
1082 __linux__.
1083 - further round trip eliminations in the !XFT case by remembering
1084 the colour components.
1085 - plain scrollbar works better with -sr.
1086 - fixed half-shadow scrollbar look.
1087 - more colour rtt optimisations.
1088 - properly(?) free colours on window close.
1089 - reorganised the FAQ into multiple sections.
1090 - add ISO646.1991-IRV to the list of supported codesets.
1091 - minor libptytty update.
1092
1093 7.5 Tue Jan 31 15:15:43 CET 2006
1094 - further improvements to the careful mode detection, and font width
1095 detection:
1096 - fully double-wide fonts will now be correctly treated,
1097 - overlap detection was improved.
1098 - detect totally broken fonts (usually synthesized by xft).
1099 - careful mode forced refresh sometimes clashed with blinking,
1100 causing unnecessary screen redraws.
1101 - better handling of XFT combining characters.
1102 - enable antialiasing for some replacement fonts, as they
1103 might get used for other encodings which really need it, later.
1104 - remove spacing=100 from all default fonts, as this creates totally
1105 weird spacing (5 times normal) with xft.
1106 - removed iso10646 fallback, as xorgs iso10646 encoded fonts are mostly
1107 broken.
1108 - removed gnu unifont fallback, all combining characters are broken.
1109 - replace named colours by xorg's rgb.txt equivalents, to
1110 reduce round trip time on startup, and short-cut allocation
1111 of rgb:rr/gg/bb for xft.
1112 - short-cut allocation of rgb values in the xlib case
1113 (patch by Paco-Paco).
1114 - overhauled color management: smaller codesize, alpha support.
1115 - support "rgba:rrrr/gggg/bbbb/aaaa" color specifications and
1116 an "[alpha]" prefix.
1117 - try to work around Xft and Xrender forcing everything to be 100%
1118 transparent. Long Live Xft!
1119 - do not include X11/Intrinsic.h anymore, directly use
1120 Xlib/Xutil/Xresource directly.
1121 - try to find a nearest matching color when color allocation fails
1122 on a pseudocolor screen.
1123 - SYNCCVS: compared to rxvt-cvs 2006-01-28, no relevant changes.
1124 - fix version report (DA) (which was unfortunately broken).
1125 - changed version number report again, now to emulate xterm closer.
1126 - added the OSC sequence 702 to detect the urxvt version number.
1127 - small configure updates.
1128 - further RTT optimisations.
1129 - backported clean-up patches for makefiles and documentation from
1130 the debian package.
1131 - updated doc/rxvt-unicode.spec file. It's still not maintained here,
1132 but much newer than the old one.
1133
1134 7.4 Sat Jan 28 15:26:27 CET 2006
1135 - screen background wasn't always erased properly when scrolling,
1136 - re-enabled clearing optimisation disabled in 7.4pre.
1137 - small configure updates for libptytty.
1138 - fixed version options: line output.
1139 - removed stoopid debugging message left in the code.
1140
1141 7.3 Wed Jan 25 22:47:35 CET 2006
1142 - don't let iso14755 or mouse reporting get into the way of perl
1143 (could lead to global grabs never being cleared).
1144 - experimental OnTheSpot editing support (-pe xim-onthespot).
1145 - moved Shift-Button2 paste combination to Meta-Button2.
1146 - the cutchars resource will now be respected and used by the
1147 selection extension.
1148 - added the "remote-clipboard" extension which just runs external
1149 commands to fetch and store the selection data.
1150 - added -depth switch that tries to get a different visual depth
1151 than the default (replaces the old PREFER_24_BIT logic).
1152 - removed (unused) arabic presentation form composing sequences.
1153 - be more strict when deciding that a core font glyph is too wide and
1154 needs the careful rendering mode.
1155 - allow more leeway for italic fonts when deciding that a character is
1156 too wide and needs careful mode.
1157 - redraw even more characters around characters using careful mode.
1158 - made selection-pastebin fully asynchronous.
1159 - reduced number of server turnarounds at startup by allocating
1160 atoms only once per display.
1161 - renamed on_keyboard_command to on_user_command.
1162 - changed version sos (ESC [ > c) response to be more compatible with
1163 xterm.
1164
1165 7.2 Sun Jan 22 21:58:16 CET 2006
1166 - bugfix: urxvt (not urxvtd) did not correctly handle multiple
1167 environments necessary, which resulted in segfaults within
1168 getenv (reproducible: urxvt -fn 9x15, open a menu once,
1169 ctrl-shift-672c).
1170 - bugfix: the selection speedup in in 7.1 unfortunately caused
1171 non-ascii characters to enlarge/move the selection.
1172 - bugfix: resizing sometimes leaked lines from the secondary to
1173 the primary screen.
1174 - bugfix: reducing window size while large amounts of text were output
1175 could lead to an assertion failure.
1176 - added "tabbed" extension that provides a crude tabbed terminal.
1177 - added "readline" extension that allows cursor positioning
1178 via mouse clicks.
1179 - now it is possible to insert the value of the CLIPBOARD selection
1180 with shift - mouse button 2.
1181 - fixed the automove-background extension to ignore coordinates
1182 in non-synthetic events.
1183 - created a separate libpty for portable and secure
1184 pty/tty/utmp/wtmp/lastlog handling, and include it in rxvt-unicode.
1185 - the non-terminfo visual bell now works asynchronously, so
1186 continuous ASCI BELs in one terminal do no longer monopolise the
1187 whole urxvt[d] process.
1188 - support some *BSD makes (for the time being, gnu make is a safe bet).
1189 - work around bugs in FreeBSD's gcc.
1190 - implemented some *BSD fixes in configure.
1191 - removed support for obsolete offix dnd protocol.
1192
1193 7.1 Thu Jan 19 20:25:34 CET 2006
1194 - setuid/setgid operation is now _encouraged_: security has been
1195 improved by moving privileged operations into a separate process
1196 and permanently dropping privileges within the terminal. This
1197 makes it possible to remove security checks from the perl code
1198 and gives a much safer feeling when urxvt needs to run with
1199 special privileges.
1200 - perl taint checking disabled, as urxvt no longer runs setuid/setgid
1201 itself.
1202 - new perl extension automove-background that can be used to get
1203 the same effect as pseudo-transparency with any pixmap.
1204 - new perl extension example: perl/selection-pastebin, can be used to
1205 e.g. upload the selection to a webserver and generate a url, or
1206 similar stuff.
1207 - use the scrollback buffer even when the scroll region doesn't
1208 span the whole screen, as long as it starts at row 0. Helps
1209 for programs displaying a status line at the bottom.
1210 - selection popup now shows selection in dec/hex/oct.
1211 - perl/selection: matching on unicode characters in the selection
1212 code was O(n²), which equals infinity in some degenerate cases
1213 :-> Matching is now done on UTF-8, which makes it almost instant.
1214 - perl/selection, perl/selection-autotransform: regexes are now
1215 being interpreted in the locale urxvt was started.
1216 - implemented override-redirect option and enabled it on menus,
1217 as kwin puts our windows behind the terminal (what a shoddy wm).
1218 - fixed struct utmp check in configure for OpenBSD.
1219 - complete overhaul of the pty/utmp management stuff and configure
1220 (Emanuele Giaquinta=exg).
1221 - add tsl/fsl and related capabilities to the terminfo description,
1222 to set the window title.
1223 - swap the environment in some more cases. This hopefully fixes
1224 some segfaults that might be caused by xft asking for env variables
1225 at the wrong time.
1226 - removed src/strings.C and src/menubar.C. No menubar support
1227 anymore.
1228 - removed all traces of SMOOTH_REFRESH.
1229 - nuked QNX support.
1230 - made some fixes to xpm offset and scaling code.
1231 - perl-overlays and refresh hooks were not applied in correct order.
1232 - changed coordinate-system of view_start/nsaved to be top to bottom.
1233 - iom extended to support listening for child exits.
1234
1235 7.0 Fri Jan 13 14:02:18 CET 2006
1236 - added sections for DISTRIBUTION MAINTAINERS and about
1237 SETUID/SETGID to the FAQ.
1238 - selection, searchable-scrollback, selection-popup and
1239 option-popup extensions enabled by default.
1240 - increased xft drawing speed for problematic fonts. The effect
1241 will likely be small as 99% of the xft slowness is server-related.
1242 - perl: much increased functionality, better overlays, popup support
1243 and much much more.
1244 - perl: urxvt::line now can set via ->t and ->r.
1245 - perl: changed interpretation of --perl-ext-common and -pe.
1246 - perl: finally implemented --perl-eval.
1247 - perl: non-blocking anyevent support.
1248 - perl: run tainted and ignore perl-eval/perl-lib if started
1249 setuid/setgid.
1250 - free the resource database: this plugs a massive memory leak. As a
1251 side effect, it also gets rid of XGetDefault calls.
1252 - free one of the cursors, fixes a small memory leak.
1253 - built-in (as opposed to terminfos) visual bell was broken/too fast.
1254 - applied minor cleanups by Ladislav Michnovic.
1255 - applied pty handling cleanups and improvements (Emanuele Giaquinta).
1256 - mark-urls launch-on-click by jepler.
1257 - removed "small" resource parsing function, as it wasn't really
1258 compatible, and not really small either.
1259 - removed PATH_ENV and PATH file search support.
1260 - removed support for locale-specific app-defaults file.
1261 - fixed a bug where out-of-bounds colour sequences could lead
1262 to crashes.
1263 - limit colour changing to the standard 88 palette instead of all
1264 colours.
1265 - XTerm_Color01 sequence returned wrong results in query mode.
1266 - iom.C now checks against destructed io_manager when unregistering.
1267
1268 6.3 Wed Jan 4 22:37:10 CET 2006
1269 - SECURITY FIX: on systems using openpty, permissions were
1270 not correctly updated on the tty device and were left as
1271 world-readable and world-writable (likely in original rxvt,
1272 too), and were not restored properly. Affected are only
1273 systems where non-unix ptys were used (such as most BSDs, not
1274 GNU/Linux). (found, patched and debugged by Ryan Beasley).
1275 - meta8 support was forcefully enabled in most configurations.
1276 restored configurability of this (useless) feature (reported
1277 by Mikachu).
1278 - optionally embed a perl interpreter, which can be used for more
1279 intelligent/customized selection support, visual feedback,
1280 menus, tabs etc. See the the urxvtperl manpage, the -pe option,
1281 perl*-resources and keysym resources. Not everything is there yet.
1282 - try to be more clever about differing font sizes and their ascent.
1283 Not guaranteed to work, but works better in most cases now.
1284 - fix directory permissions on install.
1285 - implemented option to disable built-in line drawing characters
1286 and fall back to the font ones (patch by Martin Pohlack).
1287 - disabled sched_yield support: the linux version is just too useless
1288 (it schedules nice'd processes before the own one for extended
1289 periods). Too bad, it could reduce system time by a factor of 5 here.
1290
1291 6.2 Mon Jan 2 16:03:01 CET 2006
1292 - implemented intensityStyles option which enables/disables bold/blink
1293 selecting high intensity foreground/background colours, suggested by
1294 Chuck Blake.
1295 - move iso14755 character feedback box out of the way if it would
1296 obscure the mouse cursor position.
1297 - replaced callback.h by a fixed version from gvpe that correctly
1298 returns the callback result (affects new -pty-fd semantics in urxvtc
1299 on a few architectures). Reported by darix.
1300 - include one trailing space in rectangular selections to indicate
1301 the inserted newline (yeah, weird, but visually more pleasing).
1302 - try to use sched_yield to (drastically) improve terminal data
1303 transfer efficiency.
1304 - further minor cleanups.
1305
1306 6.1 Tue Dec 27 13:23:40 CET 2005
1307 - update iso8859-7 table (euro and drachma round-trip et al.).
1308 - fix a crash when the selection scrolls out of the scrollback
1309 while the user still drags.
1310 - selections that were partially scrolled out of the window were
1311 not drawn correctly.
1312 - lines newly scrolled in were not initialized properly, leading
1313 to extremely long lines and (hopefully) some segfaults.
1314 - iso14755 overlay position was wrong.
1315 - iso14755 overlay now displays rendition info, too.
1316 - use unicode white space class instead of hardcoded values for
1317 stripping whitespace.
1318 - do whitespace stripping on rectangular selections.
1319 - slight cleanups in src/features.h.
1320
1321 6.0 Sat Dec 24 13:58:56 CET 2005
1322 - make it compile without SMART_RESIZE again.
1323 - enable slow link support by default.
1324 - fix relative cursor-positioning not respecting scrolling regions
1325 (also a bug in original rxvt).
1326 - initialize termios structure to zero when fetching it fails
1327 (see http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=84647 for a
1328 partial patch).
1329 - bump max columns/rows to 10000 each.
1330 - bump max savelines to 10000000.
1331 - -pty-fd now passes the urxvtc fd to the urxvtd process.
1332 - avoid linking against -lnsl/-lsocket/-lxpg4 unless necessary.
1333 - major code cleanup (still not complete, though).
1334 - implement -hold option.
1335 - _major_ rewrite of internal buffer handling:
1336 - re-flow on resize, lines get wrapped instead of winged.
1337 - circular line buffer (substantially speeds up scrolling).
1338 - slightly less code + data memory usage per terminal.
1339 - slight overall speed improvements.
1340 - considerably improved code clarity.
1341 - partial-screen scrolls no longer end up in the scrollback
1342 buffer.
1343
1344 5.9 Sat Dec 17 21:53:17 CET 2005
1345 - fix a bug in the menu code of unknown impact, found by darix.
1346 - clean up signal handling to be global, not per terminal
1347 (matters only for rxvtd).
1348 - fix small typoe in rxvt.1 (found by Mike Fabian).
1349 - don't crash when broken xft/fontconfig/freetype versions return
1350 bogus data, ignore the xft font instead (experienced on suse).
1351
1352 5.8 Tue Oct 25 22:21:45 CEST 2005
1353 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: many configure options are now on by default.
1354 If you want the old behaviour, try:
1355 configure --disable-everything <your enable options>
1356 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: -fade changed its meaning to comply with
1357 the documentation and common sense: when upgrading, replace your
1358 percentage by 100-percentage.
1359 - integrated "fade to specific colour" patch by Martin Parm.
1360 - slow down the internal visual bell (delay by 20ms) and update
1361 the terminfo flash code to use the same delay. This is
1362 synchronous, so many bells might inhibit screen updates in other
1363 windows.
1364 - text with background==foreground colour gets displayed with default
1365 bg/fg now when in reverse video, so it can be seen when selecting.
1366 - allow koi8r* as x11 encoding name for koi8r (Nikita Danilov).
1367 - removed undocumented inheritPixmapforce option.
1368 - replaced INSTALL file.
1369
1370 5.7 Wed Jul 13 04:46:33 CEST 2005
1371 - implement some useful (hopefully) options for rxvtd.
1372 - separate and improved rxvtc(1) and rxvtd(1) manpages.
1373 - fix a bug that caused segfaults on startup on systems that do
1374 not support local unix connections, e.g cygwin. (btw, I didn't
1375 even know about the -rootless and -multiwindow Cygwin/X modes).
1376 - large amounts of text without control sequences or newlines
1377 could almost freeze output. This has been fixed by adding extra
1378 refreshes in these cases (also a problem in original rxvt).
1379
1380 5.6 Sun Jun 26 22:11:13 CEST 2005
1381 - R_SB_RXVT bitset value was 0, so rxvt scrollbar was initialised
1382 every time resulting in display errors (original rxvt also affected).
1383 Reported by Jasmin Buchert.
1384 - font names are now considered to be utf-8 encoded (xft apparently
1385 uses this convention. X Core fonts might not, but it should be rare).
1386 Affects display in iso14755 box.
1387 - rewrote the low-level xft drawing function ("xft backend" for the
1388 hipper parts of the world) to hopefully cope better with proportional
1389 chars mixed with fixed-width ones.
1390 - rxvt is now much more careful (read: slower) with potentially
1391 overlapping xft characters. It usually overshoots and redraws
1392 more than required, but that's better than undershooting and
1393 cutting pieces off of characters.
1394 - rxvt is now more restrictive in what font heights it accepts for
1395 fonts that will likely overshoot or undershoot lines.
1396 - fix a cosmetic problem with the unfocused cursor on a wide character
1397 at the end of the line (reported by Mikachu).
1398 - wide characters not fitting into the end of the line will be
1399 output in the next line (reported by Mikachu).
1400 - added doc/solaris9.patch by Ewgenij Starostin.
1401
1402 5.5 Sat Apr 23 22:31:36 CEST 2005
1403 - re-enabled modifier state matching as in 5.3, but implement
1404 a new builtin: keysym style that simply reverts to the built-in
1405 meaning of the given key.
1406 - use scrollcolor for next scrollbar instead of hardcoded antiquewhite
1407 (patch by Martin Edlman).
1408
1409 5.4 Mon Apr 18 00:33:31 CEST 2005
1410 - match modifier state exactly in custom keyboard code.
1411 this is necessary because it has no knowledge about
1412 built-in mappings and so will overwrite them. the priority-code
1413 will be re-enabled when this has changed, so watch out.
1414 - cursor blinking now depends on frills.
1415 - underline cursor mode (frills, -uc).
1416 - implement special value (*g*) for pointerBlankDelay
1417 to disable it.
1418
1419 5.3 Sun Mar 13 00:20:44 CET 2005
1420 - fix a bug that allowed to overflow a buffer via a long
1421 escape sequence, which is probably exploitable (fix by
1422 Rob Holland / Yoann Vandoorselaere / Gentoo Audit Team).
1423 - Custom key mappings no longer confuse mouse buttons
1424 with modifiers.
1425 - use XmbSetWMProperties instead of XSetWMProperties.
1426 - properly update WM_LOCALE.
1427 - implement _NET_WM_PING protocol.
1428 - implemented escape sequences to move the scrollback buffer view
1429 and clear the scrollback buffer.
1430
1431 5.2 Sun Feb 20 01:48:59 CET 2005
1432 - new option -pty-fd that makes the terminal a slave
1433 that uses an existing pty for I/O instead of starting
1434 a command.
1435 - implement enough of XEMBED to allow for correct focus.
1436 - added doc/embed-tk, an embedding example in Perl/Tk,
1437 and doc/rxvt-tabbed, a primitive tabbed shell implemented
1438 in Perl/Gtk2.
1439 - fix assertion failure ("crash") on mousewheel-scrolling
1440 when the terminal height is small, by removing the assert.
1441 (reported by Mikael Magnusson=Mikachu).
1442 - SYNCCVS. backported bugfixes done to rxvt
1443 (sourceforge bugs #1028739, #1028732), except for
1444 pts/%s fix as it seems to collide with freebsd,
1445 and sourceforge bug #954654, which is not necessary.
1446 - change terminfo file to not clobber G1 when using
1447 line-drawing characters, as this seems to mess
1448 with EUC-JP (it will clobber G0, but G0 practically
1449 needs to be US-ASCII all the time).
1450 - toggle default application keypad/cursor mode to help
1451 some apps who fail to set the correct mode.
1452 - check for WM_PROTOCOLS type in ClientMessage as to
1453 not destroy the window for other types of messages.
1454 - remove shared library (or any library) support - it is
1455 of no use currently (and -embed is a better way to embed
1456 rxvt-unicode).
1457 - get rid of the intpro files.
1458
1459 5.1 Tue Feb 15 17:13:27 CET 2005
1460 - fix a bug when parsing fontnames and another one
1461 for empty keymaps which could result in crashes
1462 (Kuang-che Wu).
1463 - new option: -embed (frills). somebody could write a simple
1464 tk script to make a tab'able terminal now...
1465 - only warn on X errors and _try_ to continue (frills).
1466 - add COPYING back, which got lost somehow.
1467 - after deciding that LSM is dead, remove all traces of it,
1468 along with other, similar, cleanups.
1469 - _try_ to react sensibly to some non-monotonic time changes.
1470 - don't crash in urxvtc when getcwd fails (reported by Paco-Paco).
1471 - tweak font searching algorithm a bit to be faster and more
1472 compatible with older rxvt-unicode versions when multiple fonts
1473 match (reported by Paco-Paco).
1474 - urxvtd tries to stay in "/" whenever possible.
1475
1476 5.0 Fri Feb 11 18:31:48 CET 2005
1477 - document a race-free hack to start urxvtd.
1478 - document all(?) environment variables used and set by rxvt.
1479 - bring xgetdefault-style resource file ordering more in line with
1480 Xt, and document it in rxvt(1).
1481 - correctly use screen-dependent resources when --enable-xgetdefault,
1482 and also fix some memory bugs (thanks to Thierry Reding for
1483 his patience and time in tracking this down).
1484 - bring own resource parsing more in line with X resource parsing,
1485 most notably, don't remove double quotes.
1486 - compile fix for freebsd (no ut_id) (Thierry Thomas).
1487 - clean up utmp and pty on X I/O errors and signals (idea
1488 by Joël Riou).
1489 - "un"document -xrm, it never really worked, was only
1490 available with --enable-xgetdefault, is not necessary
1491 and is surprisingly hard to implement.
1492 - shaved off some code segment size.
1493 - various code cleanups.
1494 - more keysym-mapping fixes.
1495
1496 4.9 Thu Feb 3 09:52:03 CET 2005
1497 - nuke out utmp entries completely. Should be fixed in
1498 original rxvt, too. (reported by James Michael Fultz).
1499 - resizes will now correctly refresh the displayed text when
1500 -pixmap is active.
1501 - new option/resource imFont.
1502 - document --tripleclickwords/-tcw.
1503 - select logical instead of physical lines when doing a triple-click.
1504 - reordered help listing to group similar options together.
1505 - handle SIGINT the same way as SIGTERM (reported by Joël Riou).
1506 - fix a bug introduced while applying the keyboard patch
1507 (WU Fengguang).
1508 - document all window-op sequences (rxvt.7.) and more keysym
1509 examples (rxvt.1).
1510 - removed src/test completely.
1511 - renamed keysym 'proto:'-prefix to 'command:'.
1512
1513 4.8 Tue Jan 18 02:23:57 CET 2005
1514 - added a patch by WU Fengguang that makes the keyboard
1515 highly configurable (e.g. locale changes, custom escape
1516 sequences, and more). See keysym resource in rxvt(1).
1517 - remove default key sequence for unknown keys again, as this
1518 can be achieved by customizing the keyboard now.
1519 - fix some freeing problems when destroying the rxvt_display,
1520 resulting in segfaults.
1521 - don't crash when the saved cursor position doesn't fit on the
1522 screen (wrong assert in original rxvt, reported by ikaro).
1523 - fix signed/unsigned bugs on wc<->mb conversions.
1524 - reset slipwheel scrolling speed when reaching the top or bottom
1525 (Mikael Magnusson).
1526 - for core fonts, use ascent + descent when a font is loaded,
1527 and PIXEL_SIZE when not. when loading a font, iterate until a
1528 font has been found that _really_ fits the height (reported and
1529 tested by Olivier Wittenberg).
1530 - set IUTF8 input flag, when defined (linux-2.6.5+).
1531 - only define _XOPEN_SOURCE on solaris.
1532 - autogenerate src/* dependency list.
1533 - fixed linespace option, which ought to work now (and is dependent
1534 on frills, not on its own configure option).
1535 - include pty.h, if available (cygwin).
1536 - removed W11 directory from dist, it wasn't used anyway.
1537 - initialize the locale much earlier.
1538 - fixed two tiny per-instance memory leaks.
1539
1540 4.7 Wed Dec 29 20:54:24 CET 2004
1541 - fix a bug in the event logic that could cause the terminal to be
1542 black on initial startup.
1543 - do NOT call XCloseIM, ever. This causes way to many crashes due to
1544 races in the protocol and within Xlib.
1545 - map iso-left-tab to the same sequence as shift-tab.
1546 - generate a unique escape sequence for many unknown keys, such as
1547 additional multimedia keys.
1548 - mask out high (non-unicode) bits on wide characters, to cope with
1549 implementations that store tag info in the high bits.
1550
1551 4.6 Thu Dec 16 07:54:23 CET 2004
1552 - try very hard not to exhaust the kernel tty buffers, even
1553 if it slows down large pastes and is only cosmetic.
1554 - streamline atom and xft color allocation to reduce startup
1555 time (12.8s -> 7.8s on my dsl). Still, doing it with only 2-3
1556 turnarounds would be much faster, but impossible to implement(?).
1557 - implement underlineColor resource when ENABLE_FRILLS.
1558 - iom left its signal pipe handle open in the child
1559 process. Fortunately not security-relevant as the pipe data gets
1560 ignored.
1561 - do not use XSETROOTPMAP_ID anymore, support ESETROOT_PMAP_ID
1562 instead.
1563 - fix a crash in rxvtd when the last window was being closed
1564 (reported by hednod).
1565 - fix an unlikely memory leak.
1566 - fix atom name enumeration.
1567
1568 4.5 Mon Dec 13 07:47:16 CET 2004
1569 - fix an extremely nasty bug in utf8-conversion. upgrade is advised.
1570 - completely re-wrote selection pasting. This should fix garbled
1571 incomplete characters at 32k boundaries and too-short INCR
1572 selections, and more. Increases memory requirements considerably
1573 for large selections, but that seems unavoidable.
1574
1575 4.4 Sun Dec 12 22:10:06 CET 2004
1576 - rewrote handling of default-char width.
1577 - implement _NET_WM_NAME et al., and also use UTF8_STRING
1578 for the xterm property esc. sequence. Allows i18n window
1579 titles etc.
1580 - SMART_WINDOW_TITLE removed, pls. complain if you need this.
1581 - added GBK encoding (formidable patch by WU Fengguang).
1582 - fixed a bug in the transparency code.
1583 - upgraded iom.[Ch].
1584 - force slower (but more responsive) transparency update.
1585 - fix off-by-one bug with wide characters at the end of a line,
1586 which got partially overwritten by spaces.
1587 - as xlib is completely broken with respect to utf-8 handling
1588 and nobody is going to fix it, that part has been re-implemented.
1589 should fix most paste problems between apps that use UTF8 encoding
1590 and rxvt running in a lesser-supported locale (thanks to Robin Redeker
1591 for writing utf8towcs). Only enabled with ENABLE_FRILLS.
1592 - darwin compile fix by Ethan Blanton.
1593 - fix the colour of the underline, which was rather random before.
1594
1595 4.3 Sat Dec 4 04:58:37 CET 2004
1596 - unapply the "emulated graphical chars. respect wcwidth" patch.
1597 obviously in locales not having these characters they should
1598 still have a width. Solve it correctly by not relying on wcwidth.
1599 Note to self: do not ever apply patches without checking them
1600 thoroughly.
1601 - updated .spec file, it's included in the release tarball
1602 now, too.
1603
1604 4.2 Wed Dec 1 03:30:22 CET 2004
1605 - make emulated graphical characters respect wcwidth (Kuang-che Wu).
1606 - remove debugging code that caused major slowdowns
1607 on high-latency networks.
1608 - wide characters shift the correct number of characters
1609 in insert mode now. Reported by Gunnar Ritter.
1610 - doc/rxvt-unicode.spec file contributed by Ville Herva.
1611 - make storage of tab movements as characters optional
1612 on the -ptab option and pastableTabs: resource. On request
1613 by Gunnar Ritter.
1614 - fix a bug where :size= argument for xft fonts was ignored
1615 or used incorrectly. Reported by Ville Herva.
1616
1617 4.1 Sun Nov 21 21:10:19 CET 2004
1618 - save and restore cursor position in secondary screen regardless of
1619 -ssc/-ssr settings.
1620 - fix some 64-bit bugs that lead to crashes with certain other
1621 programs like vncviewer (original rxvt also affected).
1622 - added doc/podtbl to the dist tarball.
1623 - add compile fix for darwin.
1624 - configure fix for transparency without tinting.
1625 - changed CN to ZH _really_ everywhere.
1626 - upgraded iom.[Ch].
1627
1628 4.0 Mon Sep 13 01:10:26 CEST 2004
1629 - turn off autohinting for some badly-hinted fallback fonts.
1630 - mnaapge tpyo crorcetoins by Bastian Kleineidam.
1631 - implemented rectangular selections (button+meta), experimental.
1632 - implement race-free signal handling in iom.C.
1633 - use iom.C signal handling to avoid races in signal handling.
1634 - use default action on SIGINT and SIGQUIT, instead of terminating.
1635 - "the return of the 100 times per second refresh bug".
1636 ... terminated by a fix.
1637 - new supported preeeditType "None".
1638 - added FAQ about possible compose key problems.
1639 - changed CN to ZH everywhere (sorry for the confusion).
1640 - move XFilterEvent up, as some input method seem to want events
1641 for windows not requesting XIM. Please report if this change
1642 causes any harm (specially with pointerblanking)
1643 (patch by Kuang-che Wu).
1644 - send the input method spot position on every refresh, not just
1645 when rxvt thinks it should (which was not often enough...).
1646 - fix double-wide combining characters (it might look a bit ugly,
1647 though, but common cases are handled by normalization anyways).
1648 - moved FAQ to rxvt(7), also made a copy into README.FAQ.
1649 - fix a bug(?) in the XIM destroy callback.
1650 - be more conservative when trying to register new input methods,
1651 as Xlib races might make rxvt crash. When two or more
1652 input methods are active, killing one probably still crashes rxvt
1653 due to that bug :( Thanks a lot to Kuang-che Wu for immense help
1654 in tracking this down.
1655 - manpages (but not .txt and .html versions) will be patched (during
1656 make install) with the correct program name and other info.
1657
1658 3.9 Wed Aug 25 19:24:04 CEST 2004
1659 - the change to unsigned int from unsigned short broke
1660 many signed comparisons, resulting in failed assertions.
1661
1662 3.8 Wed Aug 25 05:46:56 CEST 2004
1663 - WARNING: TERM=rxvt-unicode is now *default* unless compiled
1664 differently. A terminfo entry will automatically be compiled and
1665 installed if tic is available.
1666 - fixed some --disable switches that didn't work.
1667 - tweaked src/features.h a bit.
1668 - removed README.unicode.
1669 - support select&paste of tab characters.
1670 - fixed a segfault when trying to load nonexistent fonts (reported
1671 by Eduard Bloch and Mikael Magnusson).
1672 - fixed a long-standing rxvt bug in which rxvt failed to save
1673 and restore the correct cursor position on the secondary screen.
1674 - reworked rxvt-unicode terminfo to allow more efficient and less flickering
1675 screen updates with curses.
1676 - wide characters that are being halfway overwritten are now replaced
1677 by spaces.
1678 - urxvtc now transmits urxvt as default name, not urxvtc anymore
1679 (likewise for other names chosen at configure time).
1680 - disabled the automatic font lookup for unknown characters. xft
1681 is just too slow for this to work.
1682 - changed realbold code, implemented _real_ bold and italic support,
1683 where _real_ means the symbiosis of what I want with what I can
1684 implement. use --enable-styles.
1685 - removed 256 color mode, but enable 88 colours in all modes
1686 (88 to be compatible with 88 colour xterm which is widely
1687 supported, and most programs assume a non-iso colourtable
1688 for terminals with "odd" number of colours).
1689 - added doc/etc/rxvt-unicode.terminfo which is a big overhaul
1690 compared to the old rxvt terminfo.
1691 - sped up xft rendering by 30% *iff* the font allows it (i.e. is
1692 monospaced "enough") *and* matches the base font in width.
1693 - implement positive and negative character-font caching, which
1694 speeds up output immensely in case a character cannot be found
1695 (only for non-bold right now).
1696 - fix segfault in fading code on certain escape sequences.
1697 - better default font size and style.
1698 - rxvt-unicode is now much more picky about fonts not fitting
1699 into the base font, but to offset this it will check each
1700 single character against the base font extents and will only
1701 use the characters fitting into the bounding box (+ some fudge).
1702 - characters not fitting into the base boundary box will now often
1703 be used anyways, but the following characters will be redrawn
1704 more often to avoid pixel-droppings. This is like the original
1705 rxvt pixel-dropping pass but it's much faster.
1706 - scrollColor now affects plain scrollbar (Mikael Magnusson).
1707 - fixed segfault in overlay code when height was larger than the
1708 screen height.
1709 - cursor no longer shines "through" the overlay.
1710 - 7-bit ST marker detection was broken.
1711 - scrollbar didn't come back sometimes when switching it
1712 off/on using escape sequences (Mikael Magnusson).
1713 - fix lots of colour problems with focus fading.
1714 - $COLORFGBG was not set as documented.
1715 - fix iso 14755 5.1 support when --enable-frills but --disable-iso14755.
1716 - removed OSC 702.
1717 - disabled MOUSE_REPORT_DOUBLECLICK by default, as programs seem to be
1718 confused by it rather than using it.
1719
1720 3.7 Tue Aug 17 04:22:25 CEST 2004
1721 - new configure option --enable-iso14755.
1722 - full iso 14755 conformance (at least I claim so :).
1723 - extended the FAQ section in the manpage.
1724 - fix OverTheSpot and OffTheSpot editing, which was broken since ages,
1725 due to no fontset being available. The fontset used is a very rough
1726 approximation to the rxvt font, though. This fixes the
1727 "cannot create input context" in most cases.
1728 - fix coordinates used for Over && OffTheSpot editing to fit directly
1729 at the cursor (Over) or into the top line (Off).
1730 - reset SIGHUP and SIGPIPE handlers to default values (they were
1731 previously being ignored, causing programs not to exit on window
1732 close).
1733 - implemented simple overlays for feedback messages. believe it or
1734 not, this was a major blocker in implementing tabbed terminals.
1735 - fix compiling with --disable-frills (Adam Sampson).
1736 - clarify bold docs in README.unicode (Adam Sampson).
1737 - fix crash on window close when the input method or context
1738 could not be created.
1739 - add work around for badly written programs (see debian bug
1740 #202497). This is _not_ a bug in rxvt but rather a race
1741 condition in other programs (e.g. jed). It works by forcefully
1742 sending SIGWINCH when rxvt sees the first output from the
1743 command. This workaround isn't perfect (a slight cost to
1744 wellbehaving programs who need to resize twice), but it usually
1745 works.
1746 - set correct pixel size in struct winsize.
1747 - document more escape sequences.
1748 - fix leftover macros and a few minor doc glitches in rxvt(1).
1749 - work around bash's assumption that stepping into the middle of a
1750 character is a sensible operation.
1751 - fix some corner cases in autowrap handling.
1752 - remove various useless make cruft, renamed files to better
1753 reflect on their function, renamed many variables.
1754 - fixed printscreen functionality, as noted by Jinesh Choksi.
1755 - fix a problem where redraws of double-width characters sometimes
1756 made the last character draw with normal width (especially visible
1757 with selections).
1758
1759 3.6 Sat Aug 14 04:55:26 CEST 2004
1760 - SECURITY FIX: rxvtd kept open filehandles to other terminal
1761 windows when spawning children. Actual risk is low (attacker
1762 needs access to a local shell window).
1763 - implemented parts 5.1 and 5.2 of ISO 14755 (i.e. hold down
1764 Ctrl+Shift and enter hex numbers. space commits it as a unicode
1765 character, or press and release Crl+Shift and then enter a
1766 function key to get its picture). patches for 5.3 (or 5.4 with
1767 a little window or so) would be welcome.
1768 - fixed large pastes (INCR selections, debian bug #191456).
1769 - fixed longstanding bug in which rxvtd crashed when
1770 a message was logged after startup (a rare case).
1771 - got rid of yodl completely by converting to pod.
1772 - integrated the FAQ into the manpage. In the future, more will be
1773 added there.
1774 - reference documentation is now installed as rxvt(7).
1775 - rxvt(7) now contains README.configure, which is autogenerated.
1776 - fix memory leak in insecure mode on certain display echos.
1777 - report sequences now report empty strings in secure mode
1778 instead of being ignored.
1779 - enable some report sequences even in secure mode, such as colour
1780 queries, as they are harmless(tm).
1781 - rxvt-unicode will now try to find a matching xft font if it can't
1782 find a matching font from the fallback list. It might look ugly,
1783 but if a xft font with our character exists, rxvt will find it.
1784 - moved FreeMono to the very back of the fallback list, as some
1785 people complain it looks ugly. This is a no-win situation, though.
1786 - fixed sourceforge bug 998970, reported against aterm:
1787 "crash on -sl 0 on super small windows".
1788 - decreased memory and code size when !--enable-transparency.
1789 - SYNCCVS. backported changes done to rxvt, except for Color_ufbg,
1790 which I think is better done through fading, and libW11, which
1791 needs testing anyways.
1792 - more complete compile options help output.
1793 - Provide linear scaled colour cubes for 256 colour mode.
1794 Pass them through as rgbi rather than rgb so that Xlib can
1795 provide gamma (from per visual intensity lists) rather than
1796 providing constant gamma ourselves. Noticed by and ideas from
1797 Christopher Casey <realchriscasey@hotmail.com>
1798 - minor doc fix.
1799
1800 3.5 Wed Aug 11 00:31:34 CEST 2004
1801 - UPGRADE ADVISED: rxvt did wake up 100 times per second. did not
1802 show in my top (linux...), but it's extremely annoying that I
1803 released it with that bug. :( Fixed.
1804 - use memove instead of for-loop for large scrollback buffer copies.
1805 speeds up large scrollback buffers (on systems with reasonable
1806 memmove :)
1807 - minor cleanups.
1808 - removed ~ from default cutchars, in accordance with the manpage
1809 (debian bug #169415).
1810 - fix a race condition on exit (debian bug #197265).
1811 - change prio/next scrolling modifier handling (debian bug #226386).
1812 - updated configure script to current autoconf standards.
1813 - updated config.guess.
1814
1815 3.4 Fri Aug 6 19:34:29 CEST 2004
1816 - fix inheritpixmap transparency border code.
1817 - fix tinting transparency border code, also experimentally
1818 make some scrollbars transparent (e.g. plain, my favourite style :).
1819 - imported aterm shading code (faster and still portable).
1820 - changed interpretation and usage of shading (-sh).
1821 - fixed blinking underlined and negative text.
1822 - disable slow link support on connections using unix domain sockets,
1823 speeding up scrolling immensely.
1824 - various other optimizations.
1825 - new borderLess switch (ewmh-compliant), by Mikael Magnusson.
1826
1827 3.3 Sat Jul 31 15:15:59 CEST 2004
1828 - some doc updates (Eduard Bloch).
1829 - use faster inheritpixmap method when tinting color not set.
1830 - fix pixmap offset when tinting (reported by Eduard Bloch).
1831 - new -sh option by Mikael Magnusson.
1832 - off-focus-fading (--enable-fading) support (patch by
1833 Mikael Magnusson, based on aterm code).
1834 - cursor now set correctly on --disable-blank (reported by
1835 Mikael Magnusson).
1836 - better (and non-crashing) slipwheeling (Mikael Magnusson).
1837 - solaris 2.8 portability changes (reported by Colin Marquardt).
1838 - disable-xim now really disables xim code.
1839
1840 3.2 Mon Jul 26 19:57:32 CEST 2004
1841 - support real bold fonts (patch by Adam Sampson <azz@us-lot.org>),
1842 if specified in the font list (and enabled by -rb).
1843 - fixed --enable-keepscrolling and --enable-selectionscrolling, which
1844 was broken since 1.8. Patch by Hans de Goede <j.w.r.degoede@hhs.nl>.
1845 - fixed --enable-slipwheeling, see above.
1846 - sequences ended by ST can now contain any octet by quoting it
1847 with ^V (SYN).
1848 - 8-bit-controls disabled by default (compiletime option).
1849
1850 3.1 Sat Jun 26 23:38:07 CEST 2004
1851 - set default backspace sequence to "DEC" (which defaults to \177)
1852 as opposed to \010 as before, which was incorrect (ahem :).
1853 - updated doc/etc/rxvt.* to reflect the change. This brings rxvt
1854 in line with many existing rxvt terminfo and termcap entries as
1855 well as with other terminal emulators.
1856 - fix a segfault when trying to set a nonexistent locale
1857 (reported by elmex).
1858 - find more fonts by default for japanese.
1859 - the internal border wasn't always cleared. This is fixed by moving
1860 the window relative to its frame and simplifies a lot of code, too.
1861 - fixed quite hard to find scrollbar colour bug, reported by Eduard
1862 Bloch.
1863
1864 3.0 Mon May 10 20:47:23 CEST 2004
1865 - experimental flickerfree resize mode (I tried to get even
1866 less flickering with SouthWestGravity but couldn't get it to work,
1867 sorry).
1868 - c++-ify (or at least make it compile with g++-3.4, which should
1869 make it a little bit more correct c++).
1870
1871 2.9 Sat May 8 19:13:41 CEST 2004
1872 - fix some minor doc issues + some generated doc files are now
1873 getting distributed (closes debian bug #246035).
1874 - minor i18n issue fixes.
1875
1876 2.8 Thu Apr 8 22:44:36 CEST 2004
1877 - replace PF_LOCAL by PF_UNIX (portability).
1878 - try to detect -lnsl and -lsocket (portability).
1879 - fix some minor bugs.
1880
1881 2.7 Mon Apr 5 02:11:15 CEST 2004
1882 - this version should now work fine with TERM=xterm, except
1883 for the keymappings.
1884 - don't leave the X or rxvtd sockets open in child processes.
1885 (inherited fd's stay open - different to rxvt).
1886 - xterm-compat: implemented OSC3, set/get window property. get is
1887 an extension and is slightly ugly.
1888 - removed --disable-swapscreen and SCROLL_ON_NO_SECONDARY and
1889 replaced them by runtime-configurable options secondaryScreen and
1890 secondaryScroll (-ssr and -ssc) (see debian bug #237673).
1891 - close down terminal window when child exits. (debian bug #241267).
1892 - xterm-compat: enable separate mouse bg colour setting.
1893 - re-enable mouse cursor colours again, fixing colours when fg/bg are
1894 overwritten (as is common).
1895 - xterm-compat: correctly implement privmodes 1047, 1048, 1049.
1896 - ported to solaris by elmar@math.uni-bremen.de.
1897
1898 2.6 Fri Apr 2 03:24:10 CEST 2004
1899 - minor doc corrections.
1900 - WARNING: changed menu sequence from ESC ] 10 to ESC ] 703 to
1901 avoid clashes with xterm.
1902 - changed OSC701/OSC702 sequence to return standard escaped reports.
1903 - xterm-compat: make set window colour and other requests report
1904 window colour when arg is "?".
1905 - enable colour tinting of "transparent" backgrounds.
1906 - stop ST sequences earlier, as we now react on 0x90 and thus
1907 cause conditions more often that look like locks but are, in
1908 fact, just rxvt waiting for a ST/BEL etc.
1909 - re-enabled most of the "dangerous" echo escapes, but only
1910 when -insecure is specified as option or resource (see reference).
1911 (FRILLS).
1912 - disables sleep(1) on transparency updates on default.
1913 - fixes to make it compile better on solaris 2.9 (at least).
1914 asprintf replacement is still missing(!).
1915 - set _NET_WM_PID.
1916
1917 2.5 Sun Mar 28 04:05:51 CEST 2004
1918 - the usual sprinkled little code cleanups.
1919 - support more 8-bit controls.
1920 - more informative error messages.
1921 - fix some minor memleaks and possible memory corruptions.
1922 - the use of exception handling allowed the following improvements:
1923 - no longer block when waiting for completion of escape sequences
1924 (e.g. printf '\e';sleep 3;printf 'c' will no longer block).
1925 - rxvtc usage errors should no longer kill rxvtd (debian bug #237510).
1926
1927 2.4 Tue Mar 16 07:06:51 CET 2004
1928 - fix stupid double-free() bug on exit.
1929 - implement xterm private mode 1049.
1930 - fix manpages (debian bug #236824).
1931 - removed old selection style completely.
1932 - selection works _better_ for non-8-bit and double-width chars.
1933 - remove native->unicode translation tables. they aren't used anymore.
1934 reduces binary and distro size a bit.
1935 - add string representation for JIS X 0213:2000 so these fonts can
1936 be used from within rxvt.
1937 - less buggy complete set of line-drawing-characters (0x2500-0x259f).
1938
1939 2.3 Sun Mar 14 19:00:07 CET 2004
1940 - code cleanup release.
1941 - fix compile problems without --enable-combining.
1942 - fix segfault when DISPLAY cannot be opened.
1943 - removed HOTKEY_CTRL and HOTKEY_SHIFT, ACS_*, FONT0_IDX,
1944 MAX_NFONTS. UNICODE and UTF8 defines and references from
1945 all files.
1946 - default config now reads an app-defaults file even without
1947 --enable-xgetdefault.
1948
1949 2.2 Thu Mar 11 01:41:56 CET 2004
1950 - implement autocompositing of characters by either using an existing
1951 precomposed unicode character or by graphical overlay. this is
1952 also used to store characters >16bit without --enable-unicode3.
1953 - selection now based on wchar_t, so that it can offer UTF-8
1954 selections even in locales unable to represent full unicode.
1955 - tis620-2529 is, of course, thai, not vietnamese...
1956 - a typoe prevented characters >65535 to be stored properly.
1957 - wcwidth is unreliable in non-unicode-locales on GNU/Linux.
1958 working around this fixes line-drawing characters in non-utf-8 mode.
1959 - improved rounding when emulating line-drawing characters.
1960 - implement continuation lines in xresource parsing when
1961 --disable-xgetdefault.
1962 - changed locale-setting esc-sequence from code 9 to code 701.
1963 also added 702 that returns the font selected for a specific
1964 unicode character.
1965 - no longer set CUT_BUFFER0. this is confusing and clients WILL
1966 get it wrong.
1967 - don't use XTextStyle for TEXT, instead use XStdICCTextStyle.
1968
1969 2.1 Wed Mar 3 21:48:39 CET 2004
1970 - NOTE: the name of the binary and resources were changed in
1971 this version, see README.configure if you want the old
1972 settings.
1973 - added plain "big5" encoding into CN.
1974 - make cns11643 and big5* encodings actually visible to rxvt.
1975 - fix a bug when a multibyte character fell onto a buffer boundary,
1976 causing the incomplete character to be presented twice to
1977 mbrtowc.
1978 - more robust encoding name matching.
1979 - fix cursor placement on multibyte characters.
1980 - when overwriting wide with narrow chars, pad with spaces.
1981 - fix various refresh and display issues for wide chars.
1982 - remove multibyte_cursor hack (it was a hack) and associated
1983 resources and docs.
1984 - fixed memory corruption bug with XLFD fontname parsing.
1985
1986 2.0 Sun Feb 29 23:59:58 CET 2004
1987 - do not blink text when background colour is not set explicitly.
1988 - some doc cleanup
1989 - configure cleanup
1990 - viscii enabled by default
1991 - better support for non-g++-3.2+ systems (tested with g++-2.95).
1992
1993 1.91 Fri Feb 27 03:57:44 CET 2004
1994 - build fixes for !xft and !im, reported by various people.
1995
1996 1.9 Wed Feb 25 16:46:05 CET 2004
1997 - fixed bug in plain scrollbar causing X errors in XCreateGC.
1998 - implemented sharing of X connections. will be used to speed
1999 up many x operations considerably. Also saves some memory.
2000 - implemented caching of input methods. This immensely shortens
2001 startup time for new terms in rxvtd. At least XFree86 4.3 is
2002 rather broken with respect to input methods, though, so expect
2003 crashes when you kill your input method (xterm et al. also crash).
2004 - fix bugs in X flushing, causing an empty screen after startup.
2005 - fix various memleaks in rxvtd.
2006 - fix a bug that kept escape codes to be generated for some
2007 keysyms that also have string translations, when not --enable-xim.
2008 reported by joel reed.
2009 - re-enabled esc-seq. for font-switching (\033 ] 50 ; <fontset> \007).
2010 - re-enabled menubar (experimental!).
2011 - fix bug in locale-handling that kept the correct locale from
2012 being selected.
2013 - implemented esc-seq. to switch locales (\033 ] 9 ; <locale> \007).
2014 - removed greek support.
2015 - allow NUL bytes (ctrl-@) to be entered even with XIM enabled.
2016 - correct cursor width if !focus.
2017 - fixed --enable-xgetdefault, reported by eduard bloch.
2018 - added manpage for rxvtc/rxvtd based on the one eduard bloch
2019 contributed.
2020 - use reverse video for normal bold text unless colorBD has been set.
2021 - fixed endless loop when selection is valid but empty.
2022 - changed default terminal name to "rxvt".
2023 - many other minor bugfixes.
2024
2025 1.8 Mon Feb 2 20:09:18 CET 2004
2026 - almost total conversion to C++. Except for introducing
2027 new bugs, this should not change much.
2028 - fix and re-enable background pixmap and inherit pixmap support.
2029 - re-enabled multiple scrollbar support.
2030 - added plain scrollbar style and restored xterm scrollbar.
2031 - blinking and selections work slightly better now.
2032 - fix an error condition when rxvt receives more than one screenful
2033 of output. should occur with original rxvt, too, but very rarely.
2034 (I guess the code contains more surprises of this sort...)
2035
2036 1.7 Fri Jan 30 16:50:11 CET 2004
2037 - further cleanups.
2038 - never do last-minute-changes: restore ability to have
2039 color + bold as high-intensity, and let the selection
2040 use reverse video, not _blink_.
2041 - remove OPTION_HC, at least temporarily. If you want it back,
2042 please drop me a note.
2043
2044 1.6 Fri Jan 30 00:34:01 CET 2004
2045 - cleanups, minor bugfixes.
2046 - blinking text.
2047 - normal text color + bold gets white text instead of
2048 normal text when colorBD is not set.
2049 (- support double-wide characters (by blocking).)
2050 was never implemented
2051
2052 1.5 Thu Jan 29 00:43:48 CET 2004
2053 - share io manager between rxvt-unicode and vpe
2054 - bugfix for --disable-utmp, reported by fefe himself
2055 - colors were sometimes not used correctly because
2056 parts of the code expected a monochrome display.
2057 reported by fefe
2058 - make it compile without pointer_blank, reported by
2059 Markus Demleitner
2060 - improved selection support, now supports UTF8_STRING
2061 and properly encodes CUT_BUFFER0 in iso-8859-1
2062 - completely removed non-working graphics mode
2063
2064 1.4 Fri Jan 16 23:03:22 CET 2004
2065 - fix stupid segfault on esc-c
2066 - small font tunings
2067 - much better io manager, fewer bugs, higher speed
2068 - better error reporting for unknown options
2069
2070 1.3 2003-12-26
2071 - fix a bug in font height selection
2072 - autoscale scalable x11 fonts
2073 - slow-mode xft rendering centers characters
2074 - much faster x11 font selection
2075
2076 1.2 2003-12-24
2077 - fix another segfault-on-resize-bug from the original rxvt
2078 - better font matching
2079 - better memory management (less memory)
2080 - new fallback: gnu freefont
2081
2082 1.1 2003-12-18
2083 - Support for XIM in other than the current locale.
2084 - Support for non-utf-8-locales
2085 - much improved font choosing
2086
2087 1.0 2003-12-18
2088 - first release
2089 - originally cloned from rxvt-CVS 2003-11-19 00:26
2090 - removed rclock et al.
2091 - initial conversion to C++
2092
