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: implement iso-8613 38/48 sgr sequences with subparameters
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
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.

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).
- 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/).

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.

(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.

(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

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.

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

- 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?).

- fixed some minor memleaks on incorrect usage or
missing DISPLAY.

/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).

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).

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
- ｹﾘｽﾏｽﾌ゚ﾚｾ゙ﾝﾄ - 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 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,
