/usr/X11R6/lib.
o initial transparency improvement/afterimage support patch by Sasha Vasko.
o add urgentOnBell resource to set the urgency hint (patch by Philip Paeps).

7.9 Mon Aug 7 18:16:07 CEST 2006
- fix the crashing bug people encountered with 7.8 + urxvtd + perl
+ transparency. Oight 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 urxtvperl).
- 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 thats 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 keys events to th
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.
7.2 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 (reproducable: 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).
- 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.
rxvt-unicode is a clone of the well known terminal emulator rxvt,
modified to store text in Unicode (either UCS-2 or UCS-4) and to use
locale-correct input and output. It also supports mixing multiple
fonts at the same time, including Xft fonts.
