43
44TODO: fix ESC G reply forever, or simply completely disable it?
45 - improved security: rob nation's (obsolete) graphics mode queries
46 no longer reply with linefeed in secure/default mode.
47 - ISO 8613-3 direct colour SGR sequences (patch by Fengguang Wu).
48 - xterm focus reporting mode (patch by Daniel Hahler).
49 - in some window managers, if smart resize was enabled, urxvt
50 erroneously moved the window on font change - awesome bug
51 #532, arch linux bug ##34807 (patch by Uli Schlachter).
52 - fix high memory usage when an extension repeatedly hides and
53 shows an overlay (reported by Marcel Lautenbach).
54 - the old bg image resources are now provided by the background
55 extension, and perl is thus required for bg image support. No
56 configuration change is needed: urxvt autoloads the background
57 ext if any bg image resource/option is present. The old bg image
58 resources are also now deprecated; users are encouraged to
59 switch to the new bg image interface (see man urxvt-background).
60 - expose priv_modes member and constants to perl extensions
61 (patch by Rastislav Barlik).
62
639.22 Sat Jan 23 21:07:33 CET 2016
64 - NOTICE: this release updates terminfo.
65 - add terminfo capabilities for various ctrl and shift-ctrl key variants
66 (patch by Sebastian Schmidt).
67 - fix longstanding core font encoding bug where some character
68 ranges could not be mapped from unicode to the font: affected
69 encodings are big5, gb2312, iso8859-8 (hebrew), jis0201 and
70 ksc5601 (reported by Mikachu).
71 - fix crash when the number of columns is 1 and a 0 width character is inserted
72 (reported by Kuang-che Wu).
73 - fix a crash when parsing an invalid color specification (reported by Kuang-che Wu).
74 - fix a buffer overflow in font name parser (reported by Kuang-che Wu).
75 - do not start blinking cursor if the window is unfocused (reported by
76 Devin J. Pohly).
77 - change the width of underline and i-beam cursor to 2 pixels (based on
78 a patch by Omar Sandoval).
79 - add pointerShape resource to change the mouse pointer shape
80 (based on a patch by Brian Watson).
81 - a keysym resource for a key which is already bound to an
82 action now properly rebinds the key.
83 - do not report mouse motion events if Shift is active (patch by Daniel Hahler).
84 - put the alpha component last in responses to OSC color queries
85 (patch by Benjamin Herr).
86 - the key_press hook is now invoked before processing the
87 event, as documented. This change was done in 9.21 but not
88 announced and fixes debian bugs #511377, #531751 and red hat
89 bug #1105069. Note that this change breaks a few scripts,
90 such as mark-yank-urls, which rely on the previous buggy
91 behaviour that urxvt processes the event (in particular
92 keysym bindings) before invoking the hook.
93 - the tabbed extension now properly refreshes the active tab
94 on a key press when the mouse pointer is outside the terminal
95 window.
96 - add 'lookup_keysym' perl method to lookup the action bound
97 to a key combination.
98 - a key combination bound to 'matcher:select' can now be used
99 to cycle through the matches in matcher.
100 - change perl integer accessors (->width et al.) into mutators.
101
1029.21 Wed Dec 31 14:50:03 CET 2014
103 - the "moa redraw 8-bit british vintage colour management" release.
104 - NOTICE: this release updates terminfo.
105 - fix pixel droppings on overdraw when a secondary core font has the
106 same height but different ascent.
107 - implement cvvis in terminfo as blinking cursor, to distinguish it
108 from cnorm (emacs uses cvvis which is commonly a blinking cursor).
109 - when xft support was compiled in, colour queries erroneously returned
110 premultiplied values, this also affected internal queries, for example
111 when calculating faded colour. alpha is now divided out when possible,
112 which is more correct but loses colour resolution.
113 - add DECSCUSR xterm extension to set the cursor to a vertical bar.
114 - add 'extension:string' action, and associated on_action perl
115 hook, for keysym resources that invokes actions provided by
116 perl extensions. The 'perl:string' action and
117 on_user_command hook are deprecated but still supported.
118 - add 'builtin-string' action for keysym resources that restores string
119 mappings for keys that have predefined actions in urxvt.
120 - add -k option to urxvtc for killing the daemon process.
121 - document urxvtd's -e/--eval option that was implemented in 9.16,
122 but not documented.
123 - add -dockapp option to make the wm treat urxvt as a dockapp.
124 - add -mc option and multiClickTime resource to set the maximum time
125 between multi-click select events (patch by Joe Peterson).
126 - new 'eval' extension to evaluate arbitrary perl code with keysym
127 bindings. The extension also provides methods that implement basic
128 actions, such as pasting selections and scrolling.
129 - the macosx-clipboard and macosx-clipboard-native extensions have been removed.
130 - kuake extension now uses the kuake.hotkey resource to specify the hotkey.
131 - new 'matcher:select' mode of matcher to iterate over the matches with the keyboard.
132 - the 'matcher:list' feature of matcher now honours the launcher
133 associated to a matched pattern.
134 - speed-up matcher underlining on very long lines (reported by Edward Z. Yang).
135 - fix up/down commands of searchable-scrollback so that they always move
136 to the previous/next logical line with a match, if any.
137 - searchable-scrollback resource has been deprecated (use keysym instead).
138 - extension parameter passing is deprecated (use resource mechanism instead).
139 - upgrade to GPLv3 (see COPYING).
140 - compile out of the box on Solaris 10, again.
141 - fix height and position of the stippled area in next scrollbar (patch
142 by Thomas Otto).
143 - fix off-by-one bug causing the iso14755 window not to jump out of the
144 way properly.
145 - fix crash that may happen if a lib to which urxvt is linked to calls setenv.
146 - fix memory leak in special_{encode,decode} perl methods.
147 - fix refresh bug that occurs when reverse video is set on a cell
148 containing a space and with the same bg and fg colour, red hat bug
149 #830236.
150 - fix crash that may happen if an x error is received after a terminal
151 window/popup has been destroyed already.
152 - removed superfluous 0 digit from sgr terminfo sequence.
153 - greatly improve colour allocation on colour-starved pseudocolour
154 displays to avoid read-write cells instead of simply failing
155 (this is only relevant for antique 8bpp frame buffers).
156 - do not free fade colours when not doing fading (this is likely
157 only relevant for antique 8bpp frame buffers).
158 - do not specialcase 2 or 4 colour visuals, leading to
159 simpler and actually more correct code.
160 - hopefully no longer leak colours on !truecolour visuals.
161 - use consistent method names (scr_recolour => scr_recolor).
162 - use simpler (but slightly less bogus) formula for nearest
163 colour choice (this is likely only relevant for antique 8bpp
164 frame buffers).
165 - remove fallback behaviour when initialising colours - the
166 behaviour was inconsistent between startup vs. later and
167 was only effective when valid colours couldn't be allocated.
168
1699.20 Sat Apr 26 16:22:27 CEST 2014
170 - (libptytty) fix bug that prevented urxvtd from writing utmp
171 entries when using --fork (reported by Ryan Kavanagh).
172 - security bugfix: window property values could be queried even
173 in secure mode (reported by Conor McCarthy).
174 - fix build when perl is enabled and fading is disabled.
175 - fix regression that broke continuous scrolling when pressing
176 and holding the scrollbar up or down button, gentoo bug #493992.
177 - increase the maximum length of a command sequence to 32k bytes,
178 to allow longer OSC sequences (previous limit was 2k).
179 - new Ctrl-Meta-c and Ctrl-Meta-v bindings to interact with
180 the CLIPBOARD selection.
181 - new extension: selection-to-clipboard.
182 - the extensions macosx-clipboard and macosx-clipboard-native
183 are deprecated and will be removed in the next release.
184 Support for the clipboard on OS X can be more generally
185 enabled by setting the XQuartz preference to sync the OS X
186 pasteboard and the X11 clipboard.
187
1889.19 Sun Oct 27 17:16:07 CET 2013
189 - work around perl 5.18.0 breakage in tabbed extension
190 (reported by Karol Blazewicz) and in pod (Dominic Hargreaves).
191 - fix regression that caused the double-click word selection to
192 erroneously include a tab on the left of the selected word.
193 - implement FOCUS variable and focus_fade function in background
194 expression, to allow focus-sensitive background images.
195 - add support for the set cursor style (DECSCUSR) control
196 function.
197 - honour cursorColor also when the cursor style is underline.
198 - export some Color_xxx constants to Perl.
199
2009.18 Sun Mar 24 15:33:35 CET 2013
201 - fix regression that caused artifacts on resize.
202
2039.17 Fri Mar 1 13:46:08 CET 2013
204 - add shade operator in background perl extension.
205 - avoid starting or ending the selection in the middle of wide
206 characters to avoid artifacts (reported by Tiago Resende).
207 - fix artifacts that may occur if the character in the cursor
208 cell has width > 1 (reported by Tiago Resende).
209 - fix regression that causes artifacts on scrolling if
210 saveLines is 0 and the window is resized (reported by Bert
211 Münnich).
212 - fix build when perl is enabled and pixbuf and transparency
213 are disabled.
214
2159.16 Thu Dec 27 11:56:43 CET 2012
216 - the "so much new stuff your eyes will pop out" release.
217 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: renamed urlLauncher resource to url-launcher.
218 - fix processing of DEC private mode save sequences (patch by Patrick
219 Hemmer).
220 - perl extensions now have their own manpages, installed as urxvt-NAME(1),
221 e.g. urxvt-background(1) - see urxvt-extensions(1) for a list.
222 - fix disabling of cursor blink with the option-popup menu (based on a
223 patch by Jan Larres).
224 - the font height is not augmented anymore when lineSpace is non zero.
225 - fix "new pagemap" vs. "delete pagemap" mismatch ([] vs. non-[]),
226 as diagnosed by clang.
227 - fix height mismatch between active and inactive cursor when
228 lineSpace is non zero (patch by Stanislav Seletskiy).
229 - make it compile with LOCAL_X_IS_UNIX again (reported by
230 nickfailure@gmail.com).
231 - completely redone background pixmap support - users can now
232 specify arbitrary expressions (And programs) that calculate
233 new terminal backgrounds. see the urxvt-background manpage
234 for details.
235 - xrender is now required for background pixmap support.
236 - perl extensions can now provide commandline switches and resources
237 which show up in -help etc.
238 - iso14755 51 mode window now displays row and column.
239 - implement a -visual switch and move that and -depth to frills, also
240 warn when we can't get the requested visual.
241 - new env variable: RXVT_PERL_LIB.
242 - allocate all screen memory in one go and let the virtual memory
243 subsystem sort it out. this simplifies code, improves access
244 locality, saves a bit of ram and makes things a bit faster, too.
245 - remove support for libafterimage.
246 - update to CVS version of libev, for a whopping 11kb size decrease.
247 - do not ship yet another copy of ecb.h, use the one in libev or
248 libptytty instead.
249 - selectively mark some methods as cache-hot/cache cold, which
250 might speed up execution but definitely decreases codesize.
251 - Fix regression that prevented the scrollbar trough color
252 from being applied (reported by Derek B. Noonburg).
253 - Fix the scrollbar size for rxvt style (patch by Mark Robinson).
254
2559.15 Sat Jan 21 13:36:56 CET 2012
256 - remove "using namespace std" because clang erroneously
257 thinks thats an error.
258 - finding a matching font (e.g. bold version of the base font)
259 was broken (reported by Eamon Walker).
260 - fix parsing of bg image styles. They really work now.
261 - fix blurring of bg image borders when using xrender.
262 - fix xrender blur on common xrender implementations that do
263 not behave correctly when the same pixmap is used as source
264 and destination in composite operations.
265 - fix regression that caused tabbed to compute the wrong size
266 for tabs.
267 - allow again an empty suffix in a keysym list spec (patch by
268 Sung Pae).
269 - unsupported support for sun studio's CC added.
270 - fix -C option on solaris.
271
2729.14 Wed Dec 21 18:40:33 CET 2011
273 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: the urxvtd default socket path is now
274 $HOME/.urxvt/urxvtd-<nodename>.
275 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: the "list" keysym expansion now requires
276 loading of the "keysym-list" perl extension.
277 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: A scale value of 0 in the bg image
278 geometry no longer enables tiling, so as to make it possible
279 to disable both scaling and tiling.
280 - overhaul of the bg image operations. The old operations have
281 been deprecated in favour of elementary operations and
282 styles built on top of the new operations and scale/position
283 settings. (Emanuele Giaquinta).
284 - support for libafterimage is deprecated and will be removed
285 in the next release.
286 - fix a crash caused by selection_check not properly resetting
287 out-of-bounds mark values (can happen when extending a selection
288 while scrolling up in curses programs for example).
289 - do not move the selection when scrolling up and the selection is
290 outside the scrolling region (Emanuele Giaquinta).
291 - fix display of bold bright black (reported by Ben Winslow).
292 - fix memory leak when urgentOnBell is set (patch by Nathaniel
293 Filardo).
294 - fix a redraw bug that occurs when a bg pixmap is set and the
295 wm does not honour the size hints set by urxvt. Now urxvt
296 forces the size of the terminal window to be a multiple of
297 the cell size.
298 - sanitise the argument of SD / SU sequences. Fixes a possible
299 crash when the argument is big enough, red hat bug #711137
300 (Emanuele Giaquinta).
301 - correctly split long lines when scrolling.
302 - urxvt now looks for perl extensions also in $HOME/.urxvt/ext.
303 - add bell-command perl extension to execute a command when a
304 bell event occurs (Ryan Kavanagh).
305 - add set_urgency perl binding to set/reset the urgency hint.
306 - consume button release event in matcher (exg).
307 - keyboard accessible list of recent matches in matcher
308 (Bob Farrell).
309 - properly process 'keysym' sequences in tabbed when using
310 'focus follows mouse' and the focus is on the main window
311 but not on the active terminal window (patch by Martin
312 Pohlack).
313 - support for the freedesktop startup-notification protocol (patch by
314 Michael Stapelberg).
315 - the direction of VPR and VPB commands was reversed.
316 - fix alignment of inherited root pixmap when it is a different size
317 than the root window and the terminal window is off the left or top
318 edge (Mikachu).
319 - make $self visible in "eval perl expression" popup action, also
320 handle exceptions better.
321 - fix parsing of '-e' when it occurs as an option argument, such as in
322 'urxvt -title -e' (Emanuele Giaquinta).
323
3249.12 Wed Jun 29 14:34:28 CEST 2011
325 - fix regression in processing of SelectionNotify events.
326 urxvt would fail to request a selection if the owner did not
327 support the UTF8_STRING target.
328 - fix rendering of double width chars in certain circumstances, more
329 likely to happen if urxvt is compiled with 256 colors support as
330 urxvt runs out of fonts much earlier then. Fixes gentoo bug #358151
331 (Emanuele Giaquinta).
332 - restore support for 'list' syntax in keysym resources (requested by Sung Pae).
333 - always premultiply colour values - while this increases differences between
334 core fonts and xft, it is "more correct" in practical situations.
335 - disable PTYTTY_REENTRANT option - not needed for urxvt and saves a bit of code.
336 - remove lucidatypewriter from the list of fallback fonts, it was the only
337 non-xft non-cellfont in the list anyway.
338
3399.11 Mon May 2 10:34:46 CEST 2011
340 - fix compilation on GNU/Hurd, debian bug #624736.
341 - remove 'list' syntax for keysym resources, as it serves no useful purpose.
342 If you need it, poke us and provide a use case.
343 - fix alpha channel support. Premultiply alpha in colours if the visual
344 supports an alpha channel, as xrender expects premultiplied alpha
345 (Emanuele Giaquinta).
346 - fix reply to a selection request sent by an obsolete client
347 such as syncterm (patch by Marcin Cieslak).
348 - fix crash when the window is resized and the overlay is active
349 (Emanuele Giaquinta, reported by Ryan Kavanagh).
350 - match character-wise rather than byte-wise in selection
351 extension again. perl 5.8.9+ is required to avoid extreme
352 slowdowns. Fixes debian bugs #523072, #616463.
353 - fix a possible crash if the INCR transfer process for a
354 selection property timeouts and at least one chunk is
355 received. (Emanuele Giaquinta)
356 - work around a memory corruption bug in xorg's XrmSetDatabase (apparently
357 broken since http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/xorg-commit-diffs/2004-March/000239.html).
358 - fix memory corruption bug when custom command sequences bound to keys
359 were injected into an already-full pty input buffer.
360 - gdk-pixbuf is autodetected by default and preferred over libafterimage.
361 - do not prepend a newline to the selection text when the starting line
362 of the selection is not highlighted (Emanuele Giaquinta).
363 - don't swap perl env with real env, save and restore it, just in case
364 we ever get recursive perl invocations. also saves a bit of codespace
365 with gcc.
366 - fix various memory leaks (Emanuele Giaquinta).
367 - fix typo in kIC terminfo capability, debian bug #446444.
368 - document 'thickness' resource.
369 - fix debian bug #504817, to the extent possible.
370 - try to detect byte order at compile time, saves a couple of
371 hundred bytes, if your compiler is smart enough.
372 - add support for previewing the pasted data in confirm-paste
373 (Emanuele Giaquinta).
374 - added "newlines to spaces" option in selection-popup.
375 - actually enabled solaris event ports backend (was disabled by accident).
376 - revert to 38400 baud max., mission accomplished.
377 - no longer create scary "pty_fill: PLEASE REPORT" message, instead,
378 silently drain the input (problem is well understood now).
379 - no longer swallow rob nation's own graphics mode commands.
380
3819.10 Mon Dec 13 17:43:52 CET 2010
382 - the "schmorp=north korea dickey=south korea" release.
383 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: make OSC 20 simpler and more correct
384 (Emanuele Giaquinta).
385 - if options were compiled out, this could lead to the option
386 count to be defined wrongly. This is likely behind the
387 failures with gcc 4.5.
388 - explicitly depend on fontconfig and xrender when xft support
389 is enabled. Although the public Xft api uses types from
390 both, in Xft 2.2.0 these libs are private
391 dependencies only thanks to an idiotic behaviour of
392 pkg-config that was added to workaround cases like this one.
393 Fixes linking when using GNU ld with --as-needed or GNU gold
394 (based on patch by Jan Palus).
395 - fix minor memory leaks in urxvt and urxvtd.
396 - fix regression in urxvtd that prevented options from being correctly
397 set (reported by Michal Vaner).
398 - implement xterm's horribly broken 1005 mouse reporting mode,
399 and an alternative 1015 mode that works in non-utf-8 locales
400 and has fewer limitations.
401 - fix a possible bug where mouse notifications didn't work after
402 startup for the upper left corner.
403 - implement our own pixbuf to pixmap rendering to get rid of
404 dependency on buggy gdk-pixbuf-xlib. Only truecolor visuals
405 are supported (Emanuele Giaquinta).
406 - apply tinting before shading when both operations are requested.
407 Previously they were intermixed when lightening and the result
408 was inaccurate and confusing. Note that now a black tint yields a
409 completely black image, regardless of shading (Emanuele Giaquinta).
410 - avoid spurious redraws of the bg image when bg is transparent or
411 when using 'root' mode (Emanuele Giaquinta).
412 - fix build on XFree86.
413 - dynamically number options according to compiletime requirements.
414 For the extra saved byte. Or so. Yay.
415 - start options at one, not zero. Wastes a bit per terminal. Maybe.
416 saves 50 instruction bytes. Possibly.
417
4189.09 Sat Nov 13 01:39:07 CET 2010
419 - NOTICE: this release updates terminfo/termcap.
420 - the bestest release ever.
421 - it was verified that urxvt handles µ and μ correctly.
422 - add support for blending and blurring with XRender (Emanuele Giaquinta).
423 - add support for using gdk-pixbuf as image backend (Emanuele Giaquinta).
424 - cleanup and minor fixes of the image code (Emanuele Giaquinta).
425 - new perl extension "confirm-paste" (Emanuele Giaquinta).
426 - new on_tt_paste perl hook and tt_paste perl binding (Emanuele Giaquinta).
427 - new on_bell perl hook (Emanuele Giaquinta).
428 - searchable-scrollback no longer ignores the first line
429 (Emanuele Giaquinta).
