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-. + - 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.

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.

Now + only assume this for codepoints 32 to 126 (reported by Dai.H.). + - $term->strwidth returned wide chars as width 1, because some jerk + confused min and max. Fixing this also fixes xim-onthespot. + Reported by Takano Akio. + - secondaryScroll is now enabled by default (as per the manpage), + reported by exg. + - correct the description of [percent]color rgba format in the manpage. + - incorporated macosx-clipboard extension by Samuel Ljungkvist. + - ignore (some) useless focus events (reported by mmc). + - updated compose table to unicode 5.0.0. + +8.0 Thu Nov 2 18:35:19 CET 2006 + - combining characters cleared the area instead of creating an overlay, + thus losing the ability to draw combining characters properly in most + circumstances (reported by exg). + - specified fonts were incorrectly morphed to bold/italic according to the + basefont, even if explicitly specified (tracked down by tpope). + - fixed urxvt::strwidth to calculate width in the same way as screen.C. + - fix a crash caused by passing negative widths to overlay functions. + - added 'matcher' extension by tpope, replacing the mark-urls extension. + - improve url regex to match anything www.* (tpope). + - fixed bug with outline cursor color being wrong after xft fonts. + - update to libptytty-1.0. + - give proper diagnostic when RXVT_SOCKET is too long instead of + corrupting the stack (patch by exg). + - display current terminal locale in option menu. + - urxvtd no longer crashes when the client sends an inaccessible + working directory (reported by Roland Baer, possibly fixes gentoo + bug #143985). + - fixed many minor issues reported by Roland Baer. + - Leonid Khramov spotted a minor glitch in rxvtfont.C that + should not have any consequences, but was buggy nonetheless. + - manpage fix by exg. + +7.9 Mon Aug 7 18:16:07 CEST 2006 + - fix the crashing bug people encountered with 7.8 + urxvtd + perl + + transparency. Ought to fix debian bug #380348. + - fix urxvtc.1.pod: it actually claimed -pty-fd would not work. But + it does! :-> + - rxvt_fatal() in case the locale string is too long for our static buffer. + - fixed many, many, typos in the manpages (patch supplied by ves). + +7.8 Mon Jul 17 21:00:46 CEST 2006 + - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: this version will always read ~/.Xdefaults, + earlier versions only read it if display-resources (usually from + .Xresources) are not set. This avoids the #1 FAQ ("why isn't my + resource used") and seems to be logical behaviour, too. .Xdefaults + resources have a lower priority than display-specific resources. + - add "kuake" perl extension that does a similar thing to the kuake + terminal emulator (see man urxvtperl). + - use less "correct" color scaling that is compatible with libX11 and + Xft (avoids off-by-one colors resulting in striped backgrounds). + - the "depth" resource is now respected. + - preset the searchable-scrollback pattern with "(?i)" to default search + to case-insensitivity. Will automatically be cleared when typing an + uppercase character. + - add FORCE_UNBUFFERED_XFT define to features.h. + - re-enabled highlightcolor support with --enable-frills, based on + a patch by Martin Stubenschrott. + - double-buffered xft drawing did suffer from pixel offset issues + when pixmap transparency was enabled. + - strategically add # to the url-match regexes, as we really want to + match common URIs not common URLs. Reported by Aaron Griffin. + - moved on_osc_seq to on_osc_seq_perl and added a more + generic osc_seq. + - fix a bug causing double callback invocations when perl hooks + were invoked recursively. + - the automove-background extension now properly works when the + pixmap gets reset with an osc sequence (sqweek). + - selection-pastebin did not work properly with non-latin1-characters. + - apply colorUL only when the text colour is the default fg + (patch by Wu Fengguang). + - removed rxvtlib.h from the tarball, it had no reason to be there + (spotted by Decklin Foster). + - fix compiling with TRANSPARENT but !XPM_BACKGROUND, as reported + by omatunto_. + - slap in a using namespace std, might help on platforms that don't + follow C++ closely enough. + - fix mailto url regex, spotted within milliseconds by Jost Krieger. + - applied fade_color_update_func.patch by WU Fengguang. + - fix a bug where (due to an optimisation in av_delete), hiding the + bottom-most overlay would hide two overlays. + +7.7 Tue Feb 21 12:32:49 CET 2006 + - use double-buffered drawing (xft fonts only). On many driver/hardware + combination this actually increases xft drawing speed, at the expense + of more network bandwidth and slight nausea on the side of the author. + - readline perl extension now requires shift-click instead of a normal + click, and eats the click. + - tabbed perl extension now supports -e. + - disabled graphics-exposures on the main drawing GC, report any + refresh bugs please. + - improve property handling for -pe tabbed: avoid unnecessary property + changes (for kde's benefit) at the expense of extra round-trips, + improve size hint setting. + - modified XIM according to a patch sent by Takano Akio that sets + the preedit rectangle for OverTheSpot, which helps some input methods + to correctly position their preedit window. + - un-optimise the line clearing on newly scrolled-in lines a bit: the + former reasoning was that any fg colour on default bg looks the same + in empty spaces, but that's not true when reversing (e.g. selection), + so also check for matching fg colours. This fixes the problem where + selecting newly scrolled-in lines would exhibit wrong colours. + - fix a bug in the perl interface causing focus in events to generate + focus out perl events, causing bad focus effects with -pe tabbed. + - fix a race resulting in a crash on exiting. + - fix a with --disable-xft that caused xfreecolors to be called on + colors never allocated, resulting in aborts (reported by Paco-Paco). + - resources on non-initial screens weren't refetched correctly + (reported by Paco-Paco). + - fix a bug in xcopyarea pass and _disable_ it, as it seems not to be + working in either rxvt-unicode nor in the original rxvt. + - removed undocumented -exec alias for the -e option. + +7.6 Fri Feb 10 08:52:36 CET 2006 + - changed interpretation of [alpha] colour prefix. + - +option now really sets the option to default, instead of using the + resource value. + - options that require an argument now really _require_ an argument. + - the tabbed extension now forwards focus and key events to the + relevant tab window. + - tab colours are now configurable and have sensible defaults + (initial patch by hednod). + - option menu is extendable, readline, selection and + selection-autotransform can now be disabled/enabled at runtime. + - forcing a configure event to tabbed subwindows with -pe tabbed, for + the benefit of automove-background. + - the automove-background extension added a wrong constant offset. + - force refresh of XA_RESOURCE_STRING on virtual reconnect. + - return exit status 2 in urxvtc when urxvtd couldn't be contacted. + - the linux yield hack is back, now using usleep, and enabled only on + __linux__. + - further round trip eliminations in the !XFT case by remembering + the colour components. + - plain scrollbar works better with -sr. + - fixed half-shadow scrollbar look. + - more colour rtt optimisations. + - properly(?) free colours on window close. + - reorganised the FAQ into multiple sections. + - add ISO646.1991-IRV to the list of supported codesets. + - minor libptytty update. + +7.5 Tue Jan 31 15:15:43 CET 2006 + - further improvements to the careful mode detection, and font width + detection: + - fully double-wide fonts will now be correctly treated, + - overlap detection was improved. + - detect totally broken fonts (usually synthesized by xft). + - careful mode forced refresh sometimes clashed with blinking, + causing unnecessary screen redraws. + - better handling of XFT combining characters. + - enable antialiasing for some replacement fonts, as they + might get used for other encodings which really need it, later. + - remove spacing=100 from all default fonts, as this creates totally + weird spacing (5 times normal) with xft. + - removed iso10646 fallback, as xorgs iso10646 encoded fonts are mostly + broken. + - removed gnu unifont fallback, all combining characters are broken. + - replace named colours by xorg's rgb.txt equivalents, to + reduce round trip time on startup, and short-cut allocation + of rgb:rr/gg/bb for xft. + - short-cut allocation of rgb values in the xlib case + (patch by Paco-Paco). + - overhauled color management: smaller codesize, alpha support. + - support "rgba:rrrr/gggg/bbbb/aaaa" color specifications and + an "[alpha]" prefix. + - try to work around Xft and Xrender forcing everything to be 100% + transparent. Long Live Xft! + - do not include X11/Intrinsic.h anymore, directly use + Xlib/Xutil/Xresource directly. + - try to find a nearest matching color when color allocation fails + on a pseudocolor screen. + - SYNCCVS: compared to rxvt-cvs 2006-01-28, no relevant changes. + - fix version report (DA) (which was unfortunately broken). + - changed version number report again, now to emulate xterm closer. + - added the OSC sequence 702 to detect the urxvt version number. + - small configure updates. + - further RTT optimisations. + - backported clean-up patches for makefiles and documentation from + the debian package. + - updated doc/rxvt-unicode.spec file. It's still not maintained here, + but much newer than the old one. + +7.4 Sat Jan 28 15:26:27 CET 2006 + - screen background wasn't always erased properly when scrolling, + - re-enabled clearing optimisation disabled in 7.4pre. + - small configure updates for libptytty. + - fixed version options: line output. + - removed stoopid debugging message left in the code. + +7.3 Wed Jan 25 22:47:35 CET 2006 + - don't let iso14755 or mouse reporting get into the way of perl + (could lead to global grabs never being cleared). + - experimental OnTheSpot editing support (-pe xim-onthespot). + - moved Shift-Button2 paste combination to Meta-Button2. + - the cutchars resource will now be respected and used by the + selection extension. + - added the "remote-clipboard" extension which just runs external + commands to fetch and store the selection data. + - added -depth switch that tries to get a different visual depth + than the default (replaces the old PREFER_24_BIT logic). + - removed (unused) arabic presentation form composing sequences. + - be more strict when deciding that a core font glyph is too wide and + needs the careful rendering mode. + - allow more leeway for italic fonts when deciding that a character is + too wide and needs careful mode. + - redraw even more characters around characters using careful mode. + - made selection-pastebin fully asynchronous. + - reduced number of server turnarounds at startup by allocating + atoms only once per display. + - renamed on_keyboard_command to on_user_command. + - changed version sos (ESC [ > c) response to be more compatible with + xterm. + +7.2 Sun Jan 22 21:58:16 CET 2006 + - bugfix: urxvt (not urxvtd) did not correctly handle multiple + environments necessary, which resulted in segfaults within + getenv (reproducible: urxvt -fn 9x15, open a menu once, + ctrl-shift-672c). + - bugfix: the selection speedup in in 7.1 unfortunately caused + non-ascii characters to enlarge/move the selection. + - bugfix: resizing sometimes leaked lines from the secondary to + the primary screen. + - bugfix: reducing window size while large amounts of text were output + could lead to an assertion failure. + - added "tabbed" extension that provides a crude tabbed terminal. + - added "readline" extension that allows cursor positioning + via mouse clicks. + - now it is possible to insert the value of the CLIPBOARD selection + with shift - mouse button 2. + - fixed the automove-background extension to ignore coordinates + in non-synthetic events. + - created a separate libpty for portable and secure + pty/tty/utmp/wtmp/lastlog handling, and include it in rxvt-unicode. + - the non-terminfo visual bell now works asynchronously, so + continuous ASCI BELs in one terminal do no longer monopolise the + whole urxvt[d] process. + - support some *BSD makes (for the time being, gnu make is a safe bet). + - work around bugs in FreeBSD's gcc. + - implemented some *BSD fixes in configure. + - removed support for obsolete offix dnd protocol. + +7.1 Thu Jan 19 20:25:34 CET 2006 + - setuid/setgid operation is now _encouraged_: security has been + improved by moving privileged operations into a separate process + and permanently dropping privileges within the terminal. This + makes it possible to remove security checks from the perl code + and gives a much safer feeling when urxvt needs to run with + special privileges. + - perl taint checking disabled, as urxvt no longer runs setuid/setgid + itself. + - new perl extension automove-background that can be used to get + the same effect as pseudo-transparency with any pixmap. + - new perl extension example: perl/selection-pastebin, can be used to + e.g. upload the selection to a webserver and generate a url, or + similar stuff. + - use the scrollback buffer even when the scroll region doesn't + span the whole screen, as long as it starts at row 0. Helps + for programs displaying a status line at the bottom. + - selection popup now shows selection in dec/hex/oct. + - perl/selection: matching on unicode characters in the selection + code was O(n²), which equals infinity in some degenerate cases + :-> Matching is now done on UTF-8, which makes it almost instant. + - perl/selection, perl/selection-autotransform: regexes are now + being interpreted in the locale urxvt was started. + - implemented override-redirect option and enabled it on menus, + as kwin puts our windows behind the terminal (what a shoddy wm). + - fixed struct utmp check in configure for OpenBSD. + - complete overhaul of the pty/utmp management stuff and configure + (Emanuele Giaquinta=exg). + - add tsl/fsl and related capabilities to the terminfo description, + to set the window title. + - swap the environment in some more cases. This hopefully fixes + some segfaults that might be caused by xft asking for env variables + at the wrong time. + - removed src/strings.C and src/menubar.C. No menubar support + anymore. + - removed all traces of SMOOTH_REFRESH. + - nuked QNX support. + - made some fixes to xpm offset and scaling code. + - perl-overlays and refresh hooks were not applied in correct order. + - changed coordinate-system of view_start/nsaved to be top to bottom. + - iom extended to support listening for child exits. + +7.0 Fri Jan 13 14:02:18 CET 2006 + - added sections for DISTRIBUTION MAINTAINERS and about + SETUID/SETGID to the FAQ. + - selection, searchable-scrollback, selection-popup and + option-popup extensions enabled by default. + - increased xft drawing speed for problematic fonts. The effect + will likely be small as 99% of the xft slowness is server-related. + - perl: much increased functionality, better overlays, popup support + and much much more. + - perl: urxvt::line now can set via ->t and ->r. + - perl: changed interpretation of --perl-ext-common and -pe. + - perl: finally implemented --perl-eval. + - perl: non-blocking anyevent support. + - perl: run tainted and ignore perl-eval/perl-lib if started + setuid/setgid. + - free the resource database: this plugs a massive memory leak. As a + side effect, it also gets rid of XGetDefault calls. + - free one of the cursors, fixes a small memory leak. + - built-in (as opposed to terminfos) visual bell was broken/too fast. + - applied minor cleanups by Ladislav Michnovic. + - applied pty handling cleanups and improvements (Emanuele Giaquinta). + - mark-urls launch-on-click by jepler. + - removed "small" resource parsing function, as it wasn't really + compatible, and not really small either. + - removed PATH_ENV and PATH file search support. + - removed support for locale-specific app-defaults file. + - fixed a bug where out-of-bounds colour sequences could lead + to crashes. + - limit colour changing to the standard 88 palette instead of all + colours. + - XTerm_Color01 sequence returned wrong results in query mode. + - iom.C now checks against destructed io_manager when unregistering. + +6.3 Wed Jan 4 22:37:10 CET 2006 + - SECURITY FIX: on systems using openpty, permissions were + not correctly updated on the tty device and were left as + world-readable and world-writable (likely in original rxvt, + too), and were not restored properly. Affected are only + systems where non-unix ptys were used (such as most BSDs, not + GNU/Linux). (found, patched and debugged by Ryan Beasley). + - meta8 support was forcefully enabled in most configurations. + restored configurability of this (useless) feature (reported + by Mikachu). + - optionally embed a perl interpreter, which can be used for more + intelligent/customized selection support, visual feedback, + menus, tabs etc. See the the urxvtperl manpage, the -pe option, + perl*-resources and keysym resources. Not everything is there yet. + - try to be more clever about differing font sizes and their ascent. + Not guaranteed to work, but works better in most cases now. + - fix directory permissions on install. + - implemented option to disable built-in line drawing characters + and fall back to the font ones (patch by Martin Pohlack). + - disabled sched_yield support: the linux version is just too useless + (it schedules nice'd processes before the own one for extended + periods). Too bad, it could reduce system time by a factor of 5 here. + +6.2 Mon Jan 2 16:03:01 CET 2006 + - implemented intensityStyles option which enables/disables bold/blink + selecting high intensity foreground/background colours, suggested by + Chuck Blake. + - move iso14755 character feedback box out of the way if it would + obscure the mouse cursor position. + - replaced callback.h by a fixed version from gvpe that correctly + returns the callback result (affects new -pty-fd semantics in urxvtc + on a few architectures). Reported by darix. + - include one trailing space in rectangular selections to indicate + the inserted newline (yeah, weird, but visually more pleasing). + - try to use sched_yield to (drastically) improve terminal data + transfer efficiency. + - further minor cleanups. + +6.1 Tue Dec 27 13:23:40 CET 2005 + - update iso8859-7 table (euro and drachma round-trip et al.). + - fix a crash when the selection scrolls out of the scrollback + while the user still drags. + - selections that were partially scrolled out of the window were + not drawn correctly. + - lines newly scrolled in were not initialized properly, leading + to extremely long lines and (hopefully) some segfaults. + - iso14755 overlay position was wrong. + - iso14755 overlay now displays rendition info, too. + - use unicode white space class instead of hardcoded values for + stripping whitespace. + - do whitespace stripping on rectangular selections. + - slight cleanups in src/features.h. + +6.0 Sat Dec 24 13:58:56 CET 2005 + - make it compile without SMART_RESIZE again. + - enable slow link support by default. + - fix relative cursor-positioning not respecting scrolling regions + (also a bug in original rxvt). + - initialize termios structure to zero when fetching it fails + (see http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=84647 for a + partial patch). + - bump max columns/rows to 10000 each. + - bump max savelines to 10000000. + - -pty-fd now passes the urxvtc fd to the urxvtd process. + - avoid linking against -lnsl/-lsocket/-lxpg4 unless necessary. + - major code cleanup (still not complete, though). + - implement -hold option. + - _major_ rewrite of internal buffer handling: + - re-flow on resize, lines get wrapped instead of winged. + - circular line buffer (substantially speeds up scrolling). + - slightly less code + data memory usage per terminal. + - slight overall speed improvements. + - considerably improved code clarity. + - partial-screen scrolls no longer end up in the scrollback + buffer. + +5.9 Sat Dec 17 21:53:17 CET 2005 + - fix a bug in the menu code of unknown impact, found by darix. + - clean up signal handling to be global, not per terminal + (matters only for rxvtd). + - fix small typoe in rxvt.1 (found by Mike Fabian). + - don't crash when broken xft/fontconfig/freetype versions return + bogus data, ignore the xft font instead (experienced on suse). + +5.8 Tue Oct 25 22:21:45 CEST 2005 + - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: many configure options are now on by default. + If you want the old behaviour, try: + configure --disable-everything + - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: -fade changed its meaning to comply with + the documentation and common sense: when upgrading, replace your + percentage by 100-percentage. + - integrated "fade to specific colour" patch by Martin Parm. + - slow down the internal visual bell (delay by 20ms) and update + the terminfo flash code to use the same delay. This is + synchronous, so many bells might inhibit screen updates in other + windows. + - text with background==foreground colour gets displayed with default + bg/fg now when in reverse video, so it can be seen when selecting. + - allow koi8r* as x11 encoding name for koi8r (Nikita Danilov). + - removed undocumented inheritPixmapforce option. + - replaced INSTALL file. + +5.7 Wed Jul 13 04:46:33 CEST 2005 + - implement some useful (hopefully) options for rxvtd. + - separate and improved rxvtc(1) and rxvtd(1) manpages. + - fix a bug that caused segfaults on startup on systems that do + not support local unix connections, e.g cygwin. (btw, I didn't + even know about the -rootless and -multiwindow Cygwin/X modes). + - large amounts of text without control sequences or newlines + could almost freeze output. This has been fixed by adding extra + refreshes in these cases (also a problem in original rxvt). + +5.6 Sun Jun 26 22:11:13 CEST 2005 + - R_SB_RXVT bitset value was 0, so rxvt scrollbar was initialised + every time resulting in display errors (original rxvt also affected). + Reported by Jasmin Buchert. + - font names are now considered to be utf-8 encoded (xft apparently + uses this convention. X Core fonts might not, but it should be rare). + Affects display in iso14755 box. + - rewrote the low-level xft drawing function ("xft backend" for the + hipper parts of the world) to hopefully cope better with proportional + chars mixed with fixed-width ones. + - rxvt is now much more careful (read: slower) with potentially + overlapping xft characters. It usually overshoots and redraws + more than required, but that's better than undershooting and + cutting pieces off of characters. + - rxvt is
