rxvt-unicode changelog <= google-friendly title
-TODO: init_secondary serves what purpose? maybe move it to earlier startup phase and re-think
-TODO: xcopyarea pass broken, fix and improve
-TODO: event mechanism that replaces on_keyboard_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: 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: selection-color-pair instead of reverse video
-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: fix perl doc for $term->ROW_t
-TODO: coloured pastebin
-TODO: maybe unlink the RXVT_SOCKET on exit?
-
-TODO: rxvt -font 10x20 -xrm "*.tabbed.font: 10x20" -pe tabbed
- how does one affect the tab windows themselves? seems not to work anymore.
-
-TODO: implement initial chdir for tabs by making it a resource?
- - upgrade to libev-3.31, fixing a bug in the select backend
+ - new on_bell perl hook (Emanuele Giaquinta).
+ - new iso14755 option to disable ISO 14755 at runtime (Emanuele Giaquinta).
+
+9.07 Wed Dec 30 07:07:18 CET 2009
+ - port to glibc-2.10 changes (strchr etc. returning const char *
+ in C++), based on patches by Milos Jakubicek and Oliver Mader.
+ - the binary search algorithm to find precomposed characters
+ was faulty, skipping some possible combinations (found by
+ Mikachu).
+ - new -letterspace option, patch by Mark H. Wilkinson.
+ - enable --mlock option for urxvt with frills on
+ systems supporting it (patch by Russell Harmon).
+ - urxvt did not compile without frills enabled
+ (analysed by Matthew Rosewarne).
+ - correctly reset the mbstate after an illegal
+ input sequence when handling terminal output (Emanuele Giaquinta).
+ - avoid redrawing wide characters with combining enabled on every
+ refresh (reported by Mikachu).
+ - fix a typo preventing the ISO-646.1991 character set from being
+ recognized (http://achurch.org/patch-pile/).
+ - better warning for x11 font encoding detection failures, also,
+ try to deduce encoding from both font properties and name
+ (adapted from http://achurch.org/patch-pile/).
+ - resizing the window with the scrollbar disabled via the escapes
+ sequence could make the window bigger again (Mikachu).
+ - make sure the alignment for fd passing control messages
+ is correct and work around some NetBSD issues (Taylor R Campbell).
+ - update to libptytty 1.3.
+ - replace maxosc-pastebin by a nicer version by Reza Jelveh, and move
+ the old version to macosx-pastebin-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 srceen can be manipulated using
+ the new ->selection_screen method.
+ - implement --enable-assert configure option and get rid of DEBUG_STRICT
+ (based on patch by Emanuele Giaquinta).
+ - fix printpipe data output (patch by Emanuele Giaquinta).
+ - allow `xxx' quoting style for perl selection.
+ - upgrade to libev-3.9 prerelease.
+ - updated compose tables to unicode 5.2.0.
+
+9.06 Sat Nov 8 17:47:18 CET 2008
+ - NOTICE: this release updates terminfo/termcap.
+ - updates libev to 3.48.
+ - the aterm code now frees the as visual and image manager objects
+ when a window was closed.
+ - do not (wrongly) adjust the virtual line length inside
+ scr_insdel_chars/ERASE (Miroslav Lichvar).
+ - fix an issue where wide tab characters caused character shifts
+ when part of them was deleted (tracked down by Miroslav Lichvar).
+ - artificially enlargen the previous character at the end of a line
+ when trying to output a character that doesn't fit. looks ugly, but
+ makes copy&paste work.
+ - remove bogus "setuid/setgid security issues" from rxvt.1.pod, they
+ no longer apply.
+ - the urgency hint is now cleared on both focus in and focus out.
+ - cache urgency hint locally to avoid server rtt on every focus change.
+ - perl 5.10 needs PERL_SYS_INIT3 on hppa.
+ - ignore byte-order marks and do not treat them like combining characters.
+ - fix build issue when CURSOR_BLINK is not defined (Emanuele Giaquinta).
+ - do some ยต-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 errornously resize
+ client windows on hint property updates by temporarily
+ disabling size hints.
+ - implement the DECSTR soft reset sequence and use it for tput init,
+ and make hard RIS and DECSTR both reset more private modes, such
+ as mouse reporting.
+ - redundantly clear mouse reporting and a few other states in
+ tput init/tput reset, for older urxvts.
+ - partial/full clear screens did cause flickering and possibly pixel
+ droppings when urxvt viewed the scrollback buffer.
+ - use current rendition style in DCH sequence.
+ - the 132/80 mode switch no longer forces a screen reset.
+ - add an osc sequence to change the border colour (Emanuele Giaquinta).
+ - new perl extension "overlay-osc", for status displays and the like.
+ - fix some minor cursor drawing issues with overlays by allowing
+ overlays to modify screen flags (to disable the cursor themselves).
+ - work around programs not restoring rstyle before rmcup
+ (analysed by Miroslav Lichvar).
+
+9.05 Sun Jun 15 20:09:20 CEST 2008
+ - new option --cd/chdir to set the starting working directory.
+ - tabbed extension now starts in the "correct" working directory.
+ - work around fedora 9 providing isastream but not the relevant
+ header file for it (report by Tuncer Ayaz).
+ - upgrade libev, fixing a bug in the select backend.
with more than 31 file descriptors on non-linux 64 bit systems.
- correctly reset the multibyte state to the initial one
after EILSEQ (patch by Neil Booth). This fixes the
issue of rxvt-unicode not properly displaying text after an illegal
sequence on NetBSD and probably other systems.
+ - more intelligent property handling with -pe tabbed, works around
+ broken window managers (kwm et al.), saves bandwidth and should
+ help working window managers as well.
- made tabs moveable (based on a patch by Petr Machata).
+ - implement ESC [ 3 K as a more rational alternative to ESC [ 0 K.
- support relative paths for RXVT_SOCKET in urxvtd.
+ - the tabbed extension now blindly copies over all (rxvt-) resources
+ from the toplevel window to the children.
- better diagnostic on 0x0 window geometries.
+ - update AnyEvent API to version 3.4 and above.
+ - document the default value of :0 for DISPLAY.
+ - rename perl method XChangeWindowProperty to XChangeProperty.

9.0 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 maintaienrs
+ 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.
- 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 internaly using :root op in pixmap
+ - 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 betwen visual bell and poweron.
+ - fix possible race between visual bell and poweron.
(reported by Martin von Gagern, gentoo?).
- urxvt -e no longer crashes the child.
- fixed some minor memleaks on incorrect usage or
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).
+ 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.
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
- +option now really sets the option to default, instead of using the
resource value.
- options that require an argument now really _require_ an argument.

- tab colours are now configurable and have sensible defaults
(initial patch by hednod).
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
in Perl/Gtk2.
- fix assertion failure ("crash") on mousewheel-scrolling
when the terminal height is small, by removing the assert.
