+rxvt-unicode changelog <= google-friendly title
+
+TODO: xcopyarea pass broken, fix and improve
+TODO: event mechanism that replaces on_user_command with something more scalable.
+TODO: slipwheeling needs a keyboard grab to get key release events.
+TODO: overlays collide with the way the out-of-focus cursor is being drawn
+TODO: "slow" rendering mode for bidi and scripts, pango!
+TODO: read property sequence is broken with respect to utf-8 etc.
+TODO: slow drag selection on remote display - other things seem fast (rxvt illness, motion hints?)
+TODO: better resource handling for tabbar in -pe tabbed.
+WISH: investigate -pe tabbed -g 80x25 being 23 not 24 or 25 lines
+ => when setting the constraints, the wm might (correctly)
+ resize the outer window, which might result in a smaller window overall.
+ or something like that. guys, send me a patch.
+WISH: coloured pastebin
+WISH: load system-wide config file even if we don't have one
+WISH: look into XAddConnectionWatch, does anybody need that?
+DUMB: support tex fonts
+TODO: perl-shell-window? perl-unix-socket?
+TODO: command line editing when icanon?
+TODO: split ROW into a ROW_fast (0..total*2-1) and ROW macros?
+TODO: catch exceptions when calling perl hooks
+TODO: xdbe
+TODO: optimise bg reeval for resize for common patterns (pixmap bigger than window?)
+TODO: pack rxvt_fatal messages into the exception object
+TODO: load must not cache, but global image cache must be cleaned
+TODO: description into --help output?
+TODO: rxvt -help => (see rxvt-XXX(1))?
+TODO: xor_rect should shift right
+TODO IMPL: recalc bg only when not fully covering (no alpha, repeat|extend etc..)
+
+TODO IMPL: colour-change event with index
+TODO IMPL: recalc bg always on bg colour change
+
+TODO: document typical actions in rxvt.1.pod keysyms
+TODO: warn with a graphical message when env has been modified
+TODO: c&c perl socket via daemon-ext mechanism
+TODO: simplify extension metainfo cache, cache on disk
+TODO: URxvt::Ext::Name installs urxvt ext name and provides pod/manpage for URxvt::Ext::Name
+TODO: üpixel droppins idenrasm,ll,scrollup
+TODO: cuu/cud and probably others default to 1 when arg is 0, not just missing, in xterm/vt102, but not in rxvt
+TODO: implement xterms nih 1006 mouse mode because the fud campaign against urxvt's 1015 mode works.
+
+TODO: confirm-pastes should check for any ctl
+TODO: fix ESC G reply forever, or simply completely disable it?
+ - work around API change breakage in perl 5.28, based on a patch by
+ Roman Bogorodskiy.
+ - improved security: rob nation's (obsolete) graphics mode queries
+ no longer reply with linefeed in secure/default mode.
+ - ISO 8613-3 direct colour SGR sequences (patch by Fengguang Wu).
+ - xterm focus reporting mode (patch by Daniel Hahler).
+ - in some window managers, if smart resize was enabled, urxvt
+ erroneously moved the window on font change - awesome bug
+ #532, arch linux bug ##34807 (patch by Uli Schlachter).
+ - fix urxvtd crash when using a background expression.
+ - properly restore colors when using fading and reverse video
+ is enabled while urxvt is focused and then disabled while it
+ is not focused, or vice versa (patch by Daniel Hahler).
+ - fix high memory usage when an extension repeatedly hides and
+ shows an overlay (reported by Marcel Lautenbach).
+ - the old bg image resources are now provided by the background
+ extension, and perl is thus required for bg image support. No
+ configuration change is needed: urxvt autoloads the background
+ ext if any bg image resource/option is present. The old bg image
+ resources are also now deprecated; users are encouraged to
+ switch to the new bg image interface (see man urxvt-background).
+ - expose priv_modes member and constants to perl extensions
+ (patch by Rastislav Barlik).
+
+9.22 Sat Jan 23 21:07:33 CET 2016
+ - NOTICE: this release updates terminfo.
+ - add terminfo capabilities for various ctrl and shift-ctrl key variants
+ (patch by Sebastian Schmidt).
+ - fix longstanding core font encoding bug where some character
+ ranges could not be mapped from unicode to the font: affected
+ encodings are big5, gb2312, iso8859-8 (hebrew), jis0201 and
+ ksc5601 (reported by Mikachu).
+ - fix crash when the number of columns is 1 and a 0 width character is inserted
+ (reported by Kuang-che Wu).
+ - fix a crash when parsing an invalid color specification (reported by Kuang-che Wu).
+ - fix a buffer overflow in font name parser (reported by Kuang-che Wu).
+ - do not start blinking cursor if the window is unfocused (reported by
+ Devin J. Pohly).
+ - change the width of underline and i-beam cursor to 2 pixels (based on
+ a patch by Omar Sandoval).
+ - add pointerShape resource to change the mouse pointer shape
+ (based on a patch by Brian Watson).
+ - a keysym resource for a key which is already bound to an
+ action now properly rebinds the key.
+ - do not report mouse motion events if Shift is active (patch by Daniel Hahler).
+ - put the alpha component last in responses to OSC color queries
+ (patch by Benjamin Herr).
+ - the key_press hook is now invoked before processing the
+ event, as documented. This change was done in 9.21 but not
+ announced and fixes debian bugs #511377, #531751 and red hat
+ bug #1105069. Note that this change breaks a few scripts,
+ such as mark-yank-urls, which rely on the previous buggy
+ behaviour that urxvt processes the event (in particular
+ keysym bindings) before invoking the hook.
+ - the tabbed extension now properly refreshes the active tab
+ on a key press when the mouse pointer is outside the terminal
+ window.
+ - add 'lookup_keysym' perl method to lookup the action bound
+ to a key combination.
+ - a key combination bound to 'matcher:select' can now be used
+ to cycle through the matches in matcher.
+ - change perl integer accessors (->width et al.) into mutators.
+
+9.21 Wed Dec 31 14:50:03 CET 2014
+ - the "moa redraw 8-bit british vintage colour management" release.
+ - NOTICE: this release updates terminfo.
+ - fix pixel droppings on overdraw when a secondary core font has the
+ same height but different ascent.
+ - implement cvvis in terminfo as blinking cursor, to distinguish it
+ from cnorm (emacs uses cvvis which is commonly a blinking cursor).
+ - when xft support was compiled in, colour queries erroneously returned
+ premultiplied values, this also affected internal queries, for example
+ when calculating faded colour. alpha is now divided out when possible,
+ which is more correct but loses colour resolution.
+ - add DECSCUSR xterm extension to set the cursor to a vertical bar.
+ - add 'extension:string' action, and associated on_action perl
+ hook, for keysym resources that invokes actions provided by
+ perl extensions. The 'perl:string' action and
+ on_user_command hook are deprecated but still supported.
+ - add 'builtin-string' action for keysym resources that restores string
+ mappings for keys that have predefined actions in urxvt.
+ - add -k option to urxvtc for killing the daemon process.
+ - document urxvtd's -e/--eval option that was implemented in 9.16,
+ but not documented.
+ - add -dockapp option to make the wm treat urxvt as a dockapp.
+ - add -mc option and multiClickTime resource to set the maximum time
+ between multi-click select events (patch by Joe Peterson).
+ - new 'eval' extension to evaluate arbitrary perl code with keysym
+ bindings. The extension also provides methods that implement basic
+ actions, such as pasting selections and scrolling.
+ - the macosx-clipboard and macosx-clipboard-native extensions have been removed.
+ - kuake extension now uses the kuake.hotkey resource to specify the hotkey.
+ - new 'matcher:select' mode of matcher to iterate over the matches with the keyboard.
+ - the 'matcher:list' feature of matcher now honours the launcher
+ associated to a matched pattern.
+ - speed-up matcher underlining on very long lines (reported by Edward Z. Yang).
+ - fix up/down commands of searchable-scrollback so that they always move
+ to the previous/next logical line with a match, if any.
+ - searchable-scrollback resource has been deprecated (use keysym instead).
+ - extension parameter passing is deprecated (use resource mechanism instead).
+ - upgrade to GPLv3 (see COPYING).
+ - compile out of the box on Solaris 10, again.
+ - fix height and position of the stippled area in next scrollbar (patch
+ by Thomas Otto).
+ - fix off-by-one bug causing the iso14755 window not to jump out of the
+ way properly.
+ - fix crash that may happen if a lib to which urxvt is linked to calls setenv.
+ - fix memory leak in special_{encode,decode} perl methods.
+ - fix refresh bug that occurs when reverse video is set on a cell
+ containing a space and with the same bg and fg colour, red hat bug
+ #830236.
+ - fix crash that may happen if an x error is received after a terminal
+ window/popup has been destroyed already.
+ - removed superfluous 0 digit from sgr terminfo sequence.
+ - greatly improve colour allocation on colour-starved pseudocolour
+ displays to avoid read-write cells instead of simply failing
+ (this is only relevant for antique 8bpp frame buffers).
+ - do not free fade colours when not doing fading (this is likely
+ only relevant for antique 8bpp frame buffers).
+ - do not specialcase 2 or 4 colour visuals, leading to
+ simpler and actually more correct code.
+ - hopefully no longer leak colours on !truecolour visuals.
+ - use consistent method names (scr_recolour => scr_recolor).
+ - use simpler (but slightly less bogus) formula for nearest
+ colour choice (this is likely only relevant for antique 8bpp
+ frame buffers).
+ - remove fallback behaviour when initialising colours - the
+ behaviour was inconsistent between startup vs. later and
+ was only effective when valid colours couldn't be allocated.
+
+9.20 Sat Apr 26 16:22:27 CEST 2014
+ - (libptytty) fix bug that prevented urxvtd from writing utmp
+ entries when using --fork (reported by Ryan Kavanagh).
+ - security bugfix: window property values could be queried even
+ in secure mode (reported by Conor McCarthy).
+ - fix build when perl is enabled and fading is disabled.
+ - fix regression that broke continuous scrolling when pressing
+ and holding the scrollbar up or down button, gentoo bug #493992.
+ - increase the maximum length of a command sequence to 32k bytes,
+ to allow longer OSC sequences (previous limit was 2k).
+ - new Ctrl-Meta-c and Ctrl-Meta-v bindings to interact with
+ the CLIPBOARD selection.
+ - new extension: selection-to-clipboard.
+ - the extensions macosx-clipboard and macosx-clipboard-native
+ are deprecated and will be removed in the next release.
+ Support for the clipboard on OS X can be more generally
+ enabled by setting the XQuartz preference to sync the OS X
+ pasteboard and the X11 clipboard.
+
+9.19 Sun Oct 27 17:16:07 CET 2013
+ - work around perl 5.18.0 breakage in tabbed extension
+ (reported by Karol Blazewicz) and in pod (Dominic Hargreaves).
+ - fix regression that caused the double-click word selection to
+ erroneously include a tab on the left of the selected word.
+ - implement FOCUS variable and focus_fade function in background
+ expression, to allow focus-sensitive background images.
+ - add support for the set cursor style (DECSCUSR) control
+ function.
+ - honour cursorColor also when the cursor style is underline.
+ - export some Color_xxx constants to Perl.
+
+9.18 Sun Mar 24 15:33:35 CET 2013
+ - fix regression that caused artifacts on resize.
+
+9.17 Fri Mar 1 13:46:08 CET 2013
+ - add shade operator in background perl extension.
+ - avoid starting or ending the selection in the middle of wide
+ characters to avoid artifacts (reported by Tiago Resende).
+ - fix artifacts that may occur if the character in the cursor
+ cell has width > 1 (reported by Tiago Resende).
+ - fix regression that causes artifacts on scrolling if
+ saveLines is 0 and the window is resized (reported by Bert
+ Münnich).
+ - fix build when perl is enabled and pixbuf and transparency
+ are disabled.
+
+9.16 Thu Dec 27 11:56:43 CET 2012
+ - the "so much new stuff your eyes will pop out" release.
+ - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: renamed urlLauncher resource to url-launcher.
+ - fix processing of DEC private mode save sequences (patch by Patrick
+ Hemmer).
+ - perl extensions now have their own manpages, installed as urxvt-NAME(1),
+ e.g. urxvt-background(1) - see urxvt-extensions(1) for a list.
+ - fix disabling of cursor blink with the option-popup menu (based on a
+ patch by Jan Larres).
+ - the font height is not augmented anymore when lineSpace is non zero.
+ - fix "new pagemap" vs. "delete pagemap" mismatch ([] vs. non-[]),
+ as diagnosed by clang.
+ - fix height mismatch between active and inactive cursor when
+ lineSpace is non zero (patch by Stanislav Seletskiy).
+ - make it compile with LOCAL_X_IS_UNIX again (reported by
+ nickfailure@gmail.com).
+ - completely redone background pixmap support - users can now
+ specify arbitrary expressions (And programs) that calculate
+ new terminal backgrounds. see the urxvt-background manpage
+ for details.
+ - xrender is now required for background pixmap support.
+ - perl extensions can now provide commandline switches and resources
+ which show up in -help etc.
+ - iso14755 51 mode window now displays row and column.
+ - implement a -visual switch and move that and -depth to frills, also
+ warn when we can't get the requested visual.
+ - new env variable: RXVT_PERL_LIB.
+ - allocate all screen memory in one go and let the virtual memory
+ subsystem sort it out. this simplifies code, improves access
+ locality, saves a bit of ram and makes things a bit faster, too.
+ - remove support for libafterimage.
+ - update to CVS version of libev, for a whopping 11kb size decrease.
+ - do not ship yet another copy of ecb.h, use the one in libev or
+ libptytty instead.
+ - selectively mark some methods as cache-hot/cache cold, which
+ might speed up execution but definitely decreases codesize.
+ - Fix regression that prevented the scrollbar trough color
+ from being applied (reported by Derek B. Noonburg).
+ - Fix the scrollbar size for rxvt style (patch by Mark Robinson).
+
+9.15 Sat Jan 21 13:36:56 CET 2012
+ - remove "using namespace std" because clang erroneously
+ thinks thats an error.
+ - finding a matching font (e.g. bold version of the base font)
+ was broken (reported by Eamon Walker).
+ - fix parsing of bg image styles. They really work now.
+ - fix blurring of bg image borders when using xrender.
+ - fix xrender blur on common xrender implementations that do
+ not behave correctly when the same pixmap is used as source
+ and destination in composite operations.
+ - fix regression that caused tabbed to compute the wrong size
+ for tabs.
+ - allow again an empty suffix in a keysym list spec (patch by
+ Sung Pae).
+ - unsupported support for sun studio's CC added.
+ - fix -C option on solaris.
+
+9.14 Wed Dec 21 18:40:33 CET 2011
+ - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: the urxvtd default socket path is now
+ $HOME/.urxvt/urxvtd-<nodename>.
+ - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: the "list" keysym expansion now requires
+ loading of the "keysym-list" perl extension.
+ - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: A scale value of 0 in the bg image
+ geometry no longer enables tiling, so as to make it possible
+ to disable both scaling and tiling.
+ - overhaul of the bg image operations. The old operations have
+ been deprecated in favour of elementary operations and
+ styles built on top of the new operations and scale/position
+ settings. (Emanuele Giaquinta).
+ - support for libafterimage is deprecated and will be removed
+ in the next release.
+ - fix a crash caused by selection_check not properly resetting
+ out-of-bounds mark values (can happen when extending a selection
+ while scrolling up in curses programs for example).
+ - do not move the selection when scrolling up and the selection is
+ outside the scrolling region (Emanuele Giaquinta).
+ - fix display of bold bright black (reported by Ben Winslow).
+ - fix memory leak when urgentOnBell is set (patch by Nathaniel
+ Filardo).
+ - fix a redraw bug that occurs when a bg pixmap is set and the
+ wm does not honour the size hints set by urxvt. Now urxvt
+ forces the size of the terminal window to be a multiple of
+ the cell size.
+ - sanitise the argument of SD / SU sequences. Fixes a possible
+ crash when the argument is big enough, red hat bug #711137
+ (Emanuele Giaquinta).
+ - correctly split long lines when scrolling.
+ - urxvt now looks for perl extensions also in $HOME/.urxvt/ext.
+ - add bell-command perl extension to execute a command when a
+ bell event occurs (Ryan Kavanagh).
+ - add set_urgency perl binding to set/reset the urgency hint.
+ - consume button release event in matcher (exg).
+ - keyboard accessible list of recent matches in matcher
+ (Bob Farrell).
+ - properly process 'keysym' sequences in tabbed when using
+ 'focus follows mouse' and the focus is on the main window
+ but not on the active terminal window (patch by Martin
+ Pohlack).
+ - support for the freedesktop startup-notification protocol (patch by
+ Michael Stapelberg).
+ - the direction of VPR and VPB commands was reversed.
+ - fix alignment of inherited root pixmap when it is a different size
+ than the root window and the terminal window is off the left or top
+ edge (Mikachu).
+ - make $self visible in "eval perl expression" popup action, also
+ handle exceptions better.
+ - fix parsing of '-e' when it occurs as an option argument, such as in
+ 'urxvt -title -e' (Emanuele Giaquinta).
+
+9.12 Wed Jun 29 14:34:28 CEST 2011
+ - fix regression in processing of SelectionNotify events.
+ urxvt would fail to request a selection if the owner did not
+ support the UTF8_STRING target.
+ - fix rendering of double width chars in certain circumstances, more
+ likely to happen if urxvt is compiled with 256 colors support as
+ urxvt runs out of fonts much earlier then. Fixes gentoo bug #358151
+ (Emanuele Giaquinta).
+ - restore support for 'list' syntax in keysym resources (requested by Sung Pae).
+ - always premultiply colour values - while this increases differences between
+ core fonts and xft, it is "more correct" in practical situations.
+ - disable PTYTTY_REENTRANT option - not needed for urxvt and saves a bit of code.
+ - remove lucidatypewriter from the list of fallback fonts, it was the only
+ non-xft non-cellfont in the list anyway.
+
+9.11 Mon May 2 10:34:46 CEST 2011
+ - fix compilation on GNU/Hurd, debian bug #624736.
+ - remove 'list' syntax for keysym resources, as it serves no useful purpose.
+ If you need it, poke us and provide a use case.
+ - fix alpha channel support. Premultiply alpha in colours if the visual
+ supports an alpha channel, as xrender expects premultiplied alpha
+ (Emanuele Giaquinta).
+ - fix reply to a selection request sent by an obsolete client
+ such as syncterm (patch by Marcin Cieslak).
+ - fix crash when the window is resized and the overlay is active
+ (Emanuele Giaquinta, reported by Ryan Kavanagh).
+ - match character-wise rather than byte-wise in selection
+ extension again. perl 5.8.9+ is required to avoid extreme
+ slowdowns. Fixes debian bugs #523072, #616463.
+ - fix a possible crash if the INCR transfer process for a
+ selection property timeouts and at least one chunk is
+ received. (Emanuele Giaquinta)
+ - work around a memory corruption bug in xorg's XrmSetDatabase (apparently
+ broken since http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/xorg-commit-diffs/2004-March/000239.html).
+ - fix memory corruption bug when custom command sequences bound to keys
+ were injected into an already-full pty input buffer.
+ - gdk-pixbuf is autodetected by default and preferred over libafterimage.
+ - do not prepend a newline to the selection text when the starting line
+ of the selection is not highlighted (Emanuele Giaquinta).
+ - don't swap perl env with real env, save and restore it, just in case
+ we ever get recursive perl invocations. also saves a bit of codespace
+ with gcc.
+ - fix various memory leaks (Emanuele Giaquinta).
+ - fix typo in kIC terminfo capability, debian bug #446444.
+ - document 'thickness' resource.
+ - fix debian bug #504817, to the extent possible.
+ - try to detect byte order at compile time, saves a couple of
+ hundred bytes, if your compiler is smart enough.
+ - add support for previewing the pasted data in confirm-paste
+ (Emanuele Giaquinta).
+ - added "newlines to spaces" option in selection-popup.
+ - actually enabled solaris event ports backend (was disabled by accident).
+ - revert to 38400 baud max., mission accomplished.
+ - no longer create scary "pty_fill: PLEASE REPORT" message, instead,
+ silently drain the input (problem is well understood now).
+ - no longer swallow rob nation's own graphics mode commands.
+
+9.10 Mon Dec 13 17:43:52 CET 2010
+ - the "schmorp=north korea dickey=south korea" release.
+ - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: make OSC 20 simpler and more correct
+ (Emanuele Giaquinta).
+ - if options were compiled out, this could lead to the option
+ count to be defined wrongly. This is likely behind the
+ failures with gcc 4.5.
+ - explicitly depend on fontconfig and xrender when xft support
+ is enabled. Although the public Xft api uses types from
+ both, in Xft 2.2.0 these libs are private
+ dependencies only thanks to an idiotic behaviour of
+ pkg-config that was added to workaround cases like this one.
+ Fixes linking when using GNU ld with --as-needed or GNU gold
+ (based on patch by Jan Palus).
+ - fix minor memory leaks in urxvt and urxvtd.
+ - fix regression in urxvtd that prevented options from being correctly
+ set (reported by Michal Vaner).
+ - implement xterm's horribly broken 1005 mouse reporting mode,
+ and an alternative 1015 mode that works in non-utf-8 locales
+ and has fewer limitations.
+ - fix a possible bug where mouse notifications didn't work after
+ startup for the upper left corner.
+ - implement our own pixbuf to pixmap rendering to get rid of
+ dependency on buggy gdk-pixbuf-xlib. Only truecolor visuals
+ are supported (Emanuele Giaquinta).
+ - apply tinting before shading when both operations are requested.
+ Previously they were intermixed when lightening and the result
+ was inaccurate and confusing. Note that now a black tint yields a
+ completely black image, regardless of shading (Emanuele Giaquinta).
+ - avoid spurious redraws of the bg image when bg is transparent or
+ when using 'root' mode (Emanuele Giaquinta).
+ - fix build on XFree86.
+ - dynamically number options according to compiletime requirements.
+ For the extra saved byte. Or so. Yay.
+ - start options at one, not zero. Wastes a bit per terminal. Maybe.
+ saves 50 instruction bytes. Possibly.
+
+9.09 Sat Nov 13 01:39:07 CET 2010
+ - NOTICE: this release updates terminfo/termcap.
+ - the bestest release ever.
+ - it was verified that urxvt handles µ and μ correctly.
+ - add support for blending and blurring with XRender (Emanuele Giaquinta).
+ - add support for using gdk-pixbuf as image backend (Emanuele Giaquinta).
+ - cleanup and minor fixes of the image code (Emanuele Giaquinta).
+ - new perl extension "confirm-paste" (Emanuele Giaquinta).
+ - new on_tt_paste perl hook and tt_paste perl binding (Emanuele Giaquinta).
+ - new on_bell perl hook (Emanuele Giaquinta).
+ - searchable-scrollback no longer ignores the first line
+ (Emanuele Giaquinta).
+ - properly set VSTATUS in termios for *BSD (reported by Ed Schouten).
+ - fix utmpx detection on upcoming FreeBSD 9.
+ - Use COMPOUND_TEXT encoding for WM_NAME/WM_ICON_NAME value when it
+ is not fully convertible to STRING (patch by James Cloos).
+ - fix a buffer overflow that would cause wrong key sequences to
+ be generated for numpad keys (introduced in 9.05).
+ - fix definition of sgr0 to work around limitations in luit.
+ - extend ISO 14755 5.4 mode to also print the font name of the
+ characters other than first one in the selected cell
+ (Emanuele Giaquinta).
+ - new iso14755 option to disable ISO 14755 at runtime
+ (Emanuele Giaquinta).
+ - make sure pagewise scrolling scrolls at least one line
+ (found by Mikachu).
+ - remove deprecated OSC 18 / 19 and make OSC 17 / 19 apply to
+ highlightColor / highlightTextColor (Emanuele Giaquinta).
+ - add highlightTextColor resource to change the foreground colour of
+ highlighted characters (Emanuele Giaquinta).
+ - make highlightColor apply also to selected cells with reverse video
+ but not to non selected cells with reverse video (Emanuele Giaquinta).
+ - remove colorRV resource (it was enabled only with frills off).
+ - fix numlock handling, the most longstanding bug to date (Emanuele Giaquinta).
+ - reduce the number of custom bits to 4, to make room
+ for 256 colours.
+ - add support for 256 colors (Emanuele Giaquinta, Marc Lehmann).
+ - add rxvt-unicode-256color terminfo and use it by default in 256 colors mode.
+ - update rxvt-unicode terminfo to state 7744 colour pairs to cover all
+ 88*88 possible pairs.
+ - actually added macosx-clipboard-native, which should have been in
+ the 9.07 release but had been forgotten.
+ - fix hang if DECAWM is not set and there are not enough columns to insert a
+ character (Emanuele Giaquinta).
+ - cub1 ("backspace") will now respect wrapping when past the rightmost column,
+ working around a shortcoming of most tty line discipline's line editing.
+ - add support for grabbing the clipboard selection and extend
+ selection{_clear,_grab,} perl bindings to optionally work
+ on the clipboard selection (based on patch by Dana Jansens).
+ - no longer force CERASE to BACKSPACE - use the system default. affects
+ default value for VERASE only when no compatible setting for
+ backspacekey was given.
+ - use higher than 38400 baudrate setting, if detected.
+ - erase screen would clear to the wrong background when blinking
+ was enabled (which selects high intensity under some circumstances).
+ - scr_kill_char didn't touch the line.
+ - upgrade and port to libev-4.01.
+ - enabled solaris event ports and kqueue backends (if available).
+
+9.07 Wed Dec 30 07:07:18 CET 2009
+ - port to glibc-2.10 changes (strchr etc. returning const char *
+ in C++), based on patches by Milos Jakubicek and Oliver Mader.
+ - the binary search algorithm to find precomposed characters
+ was faulty, skipping some possible combinations (found by
+ Mikachu).
+ - new -letterspace option, patch by Mark H. Wilkinson.
+ - enable --mlock option for urxvt with frills on
+ systems supporting it (patch by Russell Harmon).
+ - urxvt did not compile without frills enabled
+ (analysed by Matthew Rosewarne).
+ - correctly reset the mbstate after an illegal
+ input sequence when handling terminal output (Emanuele Giaquinta).
+ - avoid redrawing wide characters with combining enabled on every
+ refresh (reported by Mikachu).
+ - fix a typo preventing the ISO-646.1991 character set from being
+ recognized (http://achurch.org/patch-pile/).
+ - better warning for x11 font encoding detection failures, also,
+ try to deduce encoding from both font properties and name
+ (adapted from http://achurch.org/patch-pile/).
+ - resizing the window with the scrollbar disabled via the escapes
+ sequence could make the window bigger again (Mikachu).
+ - make sure the alignment for fd passing control messages
+ is correct and work around some NetBSD issues (Taylor R Campbell).
+ - update to libptytty 1.3.
+ - replace macosx-clipboard by a nicer version by Reza Jelveh, and move
+ the old version to macosx-clipboard-native.
+ - document the -uc option (Emanuele Giaquinta).
+ - assertions in libev are now enabled depending on frills.
+ - update AnyEvent implementation to version 5.23 API.
+ - work around arrogant bsd idiocies again: netbsd spills the default
+ namespace with lots of symbols "for gnu/gcc compatibility" even
+ though neither of them does it, and then calls the rest of the world
+ in need of fixing. go figure.
+ - on_keyboard_command is on_user_command (patch by Michael Witten).
+ - setting the selection from perl will now reset the selection screen
+ to the current screen. the screen can be manipulated using
+ the new ->selection_screen method.
+ - implement --enable-assert configure option and get rid of DEBUG_STRICT
+ (based on patch by Emanuele Giaquinta).
+ - fix printpipe data output (patch by Emanuele Giaquinta).
+ - allow `xxx' quoting style for perl selection.
+ - upgrade to libev-3.9 prerelease.
+ - updated compose tables to unicode 5.2.0.
+
+9.06 Sat Nov 8 17:47:18 CET 2008
+ - NOTICE: this release updates terminfo/termcap.
+ - updates libev to 3.48.
+ - the aterm code now frees the as visual and image manager objects
+ when a window was closed.
+ - do not (wrongly) adjust the virtual line length inside
+ scr_insdel_chars/ERASE (Miroslav Lichvar).
+ - fix an issue where wide tab characters caused character shifts
+ when part of them was deleted (tracked down by Miroslav Lichvar).
+ - artificially enlargen the previous character at the end of a line
+ when trying to output a character that doesn't fit. looks ugly, but
+ makes copy&paste work.
+ - remove bogus "setuid/setgid security issues" from rxvt.1.pod, they
+ no longer apply.
+ - the urgency hint is now cleared on both focus in and focus out.
+ - cache urgency hint locally to avoid server rtt on every focus change.
+ - perl 5.10 needs PERL_SYS_INIT3 on hppa.
+ - ignore byte-order marks and do not treat them like combining characters.
+ - fix build issue when CURSOR_BLINK is not defined (Emanuele Giaquinta).
+ - do some µ-optimisations to the character fast path.
+ - use a less cunning, but more robust algorithm to avoid one terminal
+ monopolising the whole process by outputting a lot of text.
+ - try to work around linux first breaking sched_yield and now breaking
+ the only known workaround.
+ - new option -icon to set _NET_WM_ICON (based on patch by Frank Schmitt).
+ - initialise the as visual only on demand, instead of unconditionally,
+ to save memory in the common case of not using visual gimmicks.
+ - try to work around bugs in a few wm's that erroneously resize
+ client windows on hint property updates by temporarily
+ disabling size hints.
+ - implement the DECSTR soft reset sequence and use it for tput init,
+ and make hard RIS and DECSTR both reset more private modes, such
+ as mouse reporting.
+ - redundantly clear mouse reporting and a few other states in
+ tput init/tput reset, for older urxvts.
+ - partial/full clear screens did cause flickering and possibly pixel
+ droppings when urxvt viewed the scrollback buffer.
+ - use current rendition style in DCH sequence.
+ - the 132/80 mode switch no longer forces a screen reset.
+ - add an osc sequence to change the border colour (Emanuele Giaquinta).
+ - new perl extension "overlay-osc", for status displays and the like.
+ - fix some minor cursor drawing issues with overlays by allowing
+ overlays to modify screen flags (to disable the cursor themselves).
+ - work around programs not restoring rstyle before rmcup
+ (analysed by Miroslav Lichvar).
+
+9.05 Sun Jun 15 20:09:20 CEST 2008
+ - new option --cd/chdir to set the starting working directory.
+ - tabbed extension now starts in the "correct" working directory.
+ - work around fedora 9 providing isastream but not the relevant
+ header file for it (report by Tuncer Ayaz).
+ - upgrade libev, fixing a bug in the select backend.
+ with more than 31 file descriptors on non-linux 64 bit systems.
+ - correctly reset the multibyte state to the initial one
+ after EILSEQ (patch by Neil Booth). This fixes the
+ issue of rxvt-unicode not properly displaying text after an illegal
+ sequence on NetBSD and probably other systems.
+ - more intelligent property handling with -pe tabbed, works around
+ broken window managers (kwm et al.), saves bandwidth and should
+ help working window managers as well.
+ - made tabs moveable (based on a patch by Petr Machata).
+ - implement ESC [ 3 K as a more rational alternative to ESC [ 0 K.
+ - support relative paths for RXVT_SOCKET in urxvtd.
+ - the tabbed extension now blindly copies over all (rxvt-) resources
+ from the toplevel window to the children.
+ - better diagnostic on 0x0 window geometries.
+ - update AnyEvent API to version 3.4 and above.
+ - document the default value of :0 for DISPLAY.
+ - rename perl method XChangeWindowProperty to XChangeProperty.
+
+9.02 Tue Jan 29 11:58:36 CET 2008
+ - the "exg makes everybody happy" release.
+ - fix build with !xft.
+ - always compile in plain style scrollbar (simplifies code and looks great).
+
+9.01 Sat Jan 26 20:49:27 CET 2008
+ - be more aggressive about handling X events, this seems to be required
+ with newer xlibs (should fix the "screen stays black until event is
+ received" problem, again :)
+ - add buffered resource to control xft double-buffering.
+
+9.0 Fri Jan 25 19:34:04 CET 2008
+ - fix a crash bug where urxvtd would crash when urxvtc was called
+ with wrong arguments (I wish debian maintainers in general would
+ report bugs and their proposed fixes to the original package maintainers
+ instead of sitting on them for good measure to see if anybody notices).
+ - drawing xft compose characters was causing garbage to be drawn.
+ - correctly clear xft character background in all cases.
+ - implement bracketed paste mode (xterm private mode 2004).
+ - improve documentation on alpha channel handling, make urxvt
+ work better on servers lacking the RENDER extension when alpha
+ channels or background images are used.
+ - check for refresh after initialising to avoid staying blank
+ till the first event arrives. or so.
+ - the FORCE_UNBUFFERED_XFT feature macro works again.
+ - continuously update transparency while moving/resizing now.
+ - OSC 39/49 are deprecated and aliased to OSC 10/11.
+ - cub1 now acts as advertised (and ignores the "wrapped" state).
+ - the 132/80 mode switch now forces a height of 24, too, and
+ resets the terminal.
+ - scrollbar code cleanups.
+ - stopping children is no longer confused with children exiting.
+ - removed (undocumented) #aarrggbb format.
+ - updated to libev 3.0.
+
+8.9 Mon Dec 24 07:51:40 CET 2007
+ - fix the issue where urxvtd would not immediately close a window
+ when the command exited but only on the next X event.
+ - changed terminfo file not to use application keypad mode.
+ - fix the issue where making a selection in one urxvtd window
+ would not clear it visually in another.
+ - fix an issue of urxvt not getting background pixmap updates
+ and flickering after bg pixmap changes (reported by Mikachu).
+ - fix redraw bug in xterm scrollbar with -sr (reported by Mikachu).
+ - correctly provide dependencies for libev (µikachu).
+ - minor code reorganisations and cleanups.
+ - be more robust in case the urxvt-popup extension cannot be loaded.
+
+8.8 Sat Dec 15 19:40:39 CET 2007
+ - option -C was aliased to all unsupported options, activating
+ options that shouldn't be compiled in, leading to interesting
+ effects.
+ - updated libev, working around a bug in linux 2.4, curing the
+ symptom of urxvt not closing its window on shell exit. also
+ fixes a problem with urxvt not refreshing.
+ - the text blink callback was called even when no blinking
+ text was visible.
+ - pre-8.4 slipwheeling behaviour has been reinstated, with
+ some minor improvements.
+ - streamlined x events processing to only flush once per
+ display and not once per terminal window.
+ - quite a bit of minor code cleanups and codesize optimisations.
+
+8.7 Sun Nov 25 10:23:49 CET 2007
+ - update libev with an important bugfix that would cause crashes
+ when closing windows (when using rxvtd, and update is recommended).
+ - do not compile in the block builtin graphics with --disable-frills.
+
+8.6 Fri Nov 23 14:10:57 CET 2007
+ - upgrade libev to disable kqueue on anything but netbsd as it
+ seems to be broken everywhere else w.r.t. ptys.
+ - allow for spurious event notifications, as at least epoll and
+ especially solaris ports like to lie about them (symptoms:
+ urxvt "hangs" until there is some x11 related activity).
+ - -keysym command line options are now subjected to xlib parsing.
+ - add 'xrm' option analogous to Xt one.
+
+8.5a Wed Nov 21 10:16:33 CET 2007
+ - make it compile with --disable-transparency.
+
+8.5 Wed Nov 21 05:19:20 CET 2007
+ - expect major portability issues in this release: please test and report.
+ - converted from the veritable io manager event loop to
+ the high performance libev (http://software.schmorp.de/pkg/libev).
+ - minor tuning to the perl selection (include single words and more quoting chars).
+ - fix memory leak in pixmap code.
+ - fix a serious bug while setting the XIM destroy callback
+ on (typical) 64 bit systems.
+ - automove-background functionality re-implemented internally using :root op in pixmap
+ geometry string. For example: rxvt -pixmap "image.jpg;:root"
+ - do not link rxvtc against every lib on the planet anymore.
+ - parallel builds should work once more.
+
+8.4 Sat Oct 27 14:02:13 CEST 2007
+ - overhaul of the transparency/pixmap code (sasha).
+ - fix possible race between visual bell and poweron.
+ (reported by Martin von Gagern, gentoo?).
+ - urxvt -e no longer crashes the child.
+ - fixed some minor memleaks on incorrect usage or
+ missing DISPLAY.
+ - implement xterm 1002/1003 mouse tracking modes (exg).
+ - source code organisational cleanups (exg).
+ - updated io_manager.
+
+8.3 Wed Aug 1 20:21:31 CEST 2007
+ - new option: skipScroll/-ss, enabled by default.
+ - go with the times and expect x11 library files in /usr/lib, not
+ /usr/X11R6/lib.
+ - initial transparency improvement/afterimage support
+ patch by Sasha Vasko.
+ - add urgentOnBell resource to set the urgency hint
+ (patch by Philip Paeps).
+ - do not process focus events caused by grabs
+ (patch by Mikachu).
+ - add iso14755_52 resource to disable iso14755 5.2 (exg).
+ - add binding for backspace in iso14755 5.1 to remove the last
+ digit (exg).
+ - better option handling, support more than 30 options (exg).
+ - nuke reconf script, serves no purpose anymore.
+ - fixed and documented matcher/on_user_command processing in matcher
+ extension (tpope).
+ - compile out of the box on Solaris 10 (exg).
+ - fix MappingNotify events (reported by Stephan Walter).
+ - zero-initialise mwmhints, this seems to solve all sorts of minor
+ problems.
+
+8.2 Sat Feb 17 21:35:28 CET 2007
+ - fix make depend in src/, reported by exg.
+ - fixed typo in urxvt::GET_CUSTOM, causing the result to be wrong.
+ (patch by Sergey Vlasov).
+ - unbundled iom perl interface somewhat.
+ - scrollbar-xterm now uses the selected scrollColor instead of fg
+ (found by Aiviru).
+ - disabled linux kernel bug workaround again: disabling it gives
+ a 50% speed hit on affected machines, while enabling it gives
+ a similar speed hit to screen, which is likely the more common
+ case to work around for :/
+ - urxvt::rend2mask perl function, and utilization of it by matcher
+ (patch by Moshe Kamensky).
+ - use perl:matcher on a keysym to open most recently displayed URL.
+ - with matcher, when multiple patterns match, last wins, not first.
+ - fix make and make install with srcdir != builddir (exg).
+ - updated bundled libptytty to fix a bug where the tty would be kept
+ open (see the libptytty ChangeLog for details).
+ - delay setting the IUTF8 flag to after the tty settings have been
+ set so its value does not get lost (reported and analysed by Andrei
+ Paskevich).
+ - rip out support for obsolete sgtty.h interface.
+ - rip out support for non-POSIX termios variants.
+ - update libptytty.
+ - update iom.C, make it call ptytty::sanitise_stdfd on init.
+ - when !XFT, change rounding of colours to use a less correct formula to
+ meet user expectancies (#aaa becomes #a000a000a000 not #9f9f9f9f9f9f).
+ - change the starting offset of the pixmap set with backgroundPixmap
+ from (50,50) to (0,0) (exg).
+ - fix a typo in button_release, now meta-button2 request the value of
+ the Clipboard selection as it should (patch by Serge Koksharov).
+ - fix a bug in drawing a cell with a nonspacing char when using an xft
+ font with inheritPixmap and tintColor (exg).
+
+8.1 Thu Dec 7 22:27:25 CET 2006
+ - ケリスマスプレゼント - zomg!!1, it's too early!!!
+ - fix the assumption that chars < 256 are single-width. Now
+ only assume this for codepoints 32 to 126 (reported by Dai.H.).
+ - $term->strwidth
