48 - drop ISO 2022 locale support. ISO 2022 encodings are not supported in
49 POSIX locales and clash with vt100 charset emulation.
50 - work around API change breakage in perl 5.28, based on a patch by
51 Roman Bogorodskiy.
52 - improved security: rob nation's (obsolete) graphics mode queries
53 no longer reply with linefeed in secure/default mode.
54 - ISO 8613-3 direct colour SGR sequences (patch by Fengguang Wu).
55 - xterm focus reporting mode (patch by Daniel Hahler).
56 - in some window managers, if smart resize was enabled, urxvt
57 erroneously moved the window on font change - awesome bug
58 #532, arch linux bug ##34807 (patch by Uli Schlachter).
59 - fix urxvtd crash when using a background expression.
60 - properly restore colors when using fading and reverse video
61 is enabled while urxvt is focused and then disabled while it
62 is not focused, or vice versa (patch by Daniel Hahler).
63 - fix high memory usage when an extension repeatedly hides and
64 shows an overlay (reported by Marcel Lautenbach).
65 - the old bg image resources are now provided by the background
66 extension, and perl is thus required for bg image support. No
67 configuration change is needed: urxvt autoloads the background
68 ext if any bg image resource/option is present. The old bg image
69 resources are also now deprecated; users are encouraged to
70 switch to the new bg image interface (see man urxvt-background).
71 - expose priv_modes member and constants to perl extensions
72 (patch by Rastislav Barlik).
73 - fix a whole slew of const sillyness, unfortunately forced upon
74 us by ISO C++.
75 - update to libecb 0x00010006.
76 - disable all thread support in ecb.h as we presumably don't need it.
77
789.22 Sat Jan 23 21:07:33 CET 2016
79 - NOTICE: this release updates terminfo.
80 - add terminfo capabilities for various ctrl and shift-ctrl key variants
81 (patch by Sebastian Schmidt).
82 - fix longstanding core font encoding bug where some character
83 ranges could not be mapped from unicode to the font: affected
84 encodings are big5, gb2312, iso8859-8 (hebrew), jis0201 and
85 ksc5601 (reported by Mikachu).
86 - fix crash when the number of columns is 1 and a 0 width character is inserted
87 (reported by Kuang-che Wu).
88 - fix a crash when parsing an invalid color specification (reported by Kuang-che Wu).
89 - fix a buffer overflow in font name parser (reported by Kuang-che Wu).
90 - do not start blinking cursor if the window is unfocused (reported by
91 Devin J. Pohly).
92 - change the width of underline and i-beam cursor to 2 pixels (based on
93 a patch by Omar Sandoval).
94 - add pointerShape resource to change the mouse pointer shape
95 (based on a patch by Brian Watson).
96 - a keysym resource for a key which is already bound to an
97 action now properly rebinds the key.
98 - do not report mouse motion events if Shift is active (patch by Daniel Hahler).
99 - put the alpha component last in responses to OSC color queries
100 (patch by Benjamin Herr).
101 - the key_press hook is now invoked before processing the
102 event, as documented. This change was done in 9.21 but not
103 announced and fixes debian bugs #511377, #531751 and red hat
104 bug #1105069. Note that this change breaks a few scripts,
105 such as mark-yank-urls, which rely on the previous buggy
106 behaviour that urxvt processes the event (in particular
107 keysym bindings) before invoking the hook.
108 - the tabbed extension now properly refreshes the active tab
109 on a key press when the mouse pointer is outside the terminal
110 window.
111 - add 'lookup_keysym' perl method to lookup the action bound
112 to a key combination.
113 - a key combination bound to 'matcher:select' can now be used
114 to cycle through the matches in matcher.
115 - change perl integer accessors (->width et al.) into mutators.
116
1179.21 Wed Dec 31 14:50:03 CET 2014
118 - the "moa redraw 8-bit british vintage colour management" release.
119 - NOTICE: this release updates terminfo.
120 - fix pixel droppings on overdraw when a secondary core font has the
121 same height but different ascent.
122 - implement cvvis in terminfo as blinking cursor, to distinguish it
123 from cnorm (emacs uses cvvis which is commonly a blinking cursor).
124 - when xft support was compiled in, colour queries erroneously returned
125 premultiplied values, this also affected internal queries, for example
126 when calculating faded colour. alpha is now divided out when possible,
127 which is more correct but loses colour resolution.
128 - add DECSCUSR xterm extension to set the cursor to a vertical bar.
129 - add 'extension:string' action, and associated on_action perl
130 hook, for keysym resources that invokes actions provided by
131 perl extensions. The 'perl:string' action and
132 on_user_command hook are deprecated but still supported.
133 - add 'builtin-string' action for keysym resources that restores string
134 mappings for keys that have predefined actions in urxvt.
135 - add -k option to urxvtc for killing the daemon process.
136 - document urxvtd's -e/--eval option that was implemented in 9.16,
137 but not documented.
138 - add -dockapp option to make the wm treat urxvt as a dockapp.
139 - add -mc option and multiClickTime resource to set the maximum time
140 between multi-click select events (patch by Joe Peterson).
141 - new 'eval' extension to evaluate arbitrary perl code with keysym
142 bindings. The extension also provides methods that implement basic
143 actions, such as pasting selections and scrolling.
144 - the macosx-clipboard and macosx-clipboard-native extensions have been removed.
145 - kuake extension now uses the kuake.hotkey resource to specify the hotkey.
146 - new 'matcher:select' mode of matcher to iterate over the matches with the keyboard.
147 - the 'matcher:list' feature of matcher now honours the launcher
148 associated to a matched pattern.
149 - speed-up matcher underlining on very long lines (reported by Edward Z. Yang).
150 - fix up/down commands of searchable-scrollback so that they always move
151 to the previous/next logical line with a match, if any.
152 - searchable-scrollback resource has been deprecated (use keysym instead).
153 - extension parameter passing is deprecated (use resource mechanism instead).
154 - upgrade to GPLv3 (see COPYING).
155 - compile out of the box on Solaris 10, again.
156 - fix height and position of the stippled area in next scrollbar (patch
157 by Thomas Otto).
158 - fix off-by-one bug causing the iso14755 window not to jump out of the
159 way properly.
160 - fix crash that may happen if a lib to which urxvt is linked to calls setenv.
161 - fix memory leak in special_{encode,decode} perl methods.
162 - fix refresh bug that occurs when reverse video is set on a cell
163 containing a space and with the same bg and fg colour, red hat bug
164 #830236.
165 - fix crash that may happen if an x error is received after a terminal
166 window/popup has been destroyed already.
167 - removed superfluous 0 digit from sgr terminfo sequence.
168 - greatly improve colour allocation on colour-starved pseudocolour
169 displays to avoid read-write cells instead of simply failing
170 (this is only relevant for antique 8bpp frame buffers).
171 - do not free fade colours when not doing fading (this is likely
172 only relevant for antique 8bpp frame buffers).
173 - do not specialcase 2 or 4 colour visuals, leading to
174 simpler and actually more correct code.
175 - hopefully no longer leak colours on !truecolour visuals.
176 - use consistent method names (scr_recolour => scr_recolor).
177 - use simpler (but slightly less bogus) formula for nearest
178 colour choice (this is likely only relevant for antique 8bpp
179 frame buffers).
180 - remove fallback behaviour when initialising colours - the
181 behaviour was inconsistent between startup vs. later and
182 was only effective when valid colours couldn't be allocated.
183
1849.20 Sat Apr 26 16:22:27 CEST 2014
185 - (libptytty) fix bug that prevented urxvtd from writing utmp
186 entries when using --fork (reported by Ryan Kavanagh).
187 - security bugfix: window property values could be queried even
188 in secure mode (reported by Conor McCarthy).
189 - fix build when perl is enabled and fading is disabled.
190 - fix regression that broke continuous scrolling when pressing
191 and holding the scrollbar up or down button, gentoo bug #493992.
192 - increase the maximum length of a command sequence to 32k bytes,
193 to allow longer OSC sequences (previous limit was 2k).
194 - new Ctrl-Meta-c and Ctrl-Meta-v bindings to interact with
195 the CLIPBOARD selection.
196 - new extension: selection-to-clipboard.
197 - the extensions macosx-clipboard and macosx-clipboard-native
198 are deprecated and will be removed in the next release.
199 Support for the clipboard on OS X can be more generally
200 enabled by setting the XQuartz preference to sync the OS X
201 pasteboard and the X11 clipboard.
202
2039.19 Sun Oct 27 17:16:07 CET 2013
204 - work around perl 5.18.0 breakage in tabbed extension
205 (reported by Karol Blazewicz) and in pod (Dominic Hargreaves).
206 - fix regression that caused the double-click word selection to
207 erroneously include a tab on the left of the selected word.
208 - implement FOCUS variable and focus_fade function in background
209 expression, to allow focus-sensitive background images.
210 - add support for the set cursor style (DECSCUSR) control
211 function.
212 - honour cursorColor also when the cursor style is underline.
213 - export some Color_xxx constants to Perl.
214
2159.18 Sun Mar 24 15:33:35 CET 2013
216 - fix regression that caused artifacts on resize.
217
2189.17 Fri Mar 1 13:46:08 CET 2013
219 - add shade operator in background perl extension.
220 - avoid starting or ending the selection in the middle of wide
221 characters to avoid artifacts (reported by Tiago Resende).
222 - fix artifacts that may occur if the character in the cursor
223 cell has width > 1 (reported by Tiago Resende).
224 - fix regression that causes artifacts on scrolling if
225 saveLines is 0 and the window is resized (reported by Bert
226 Münnich).
227 - fix build when perl is enabled and pixbuf and transparency
228 are disabled.
229
2309.16 Thu Dec 27 11:56:43 CET 2012
231 - the "so much new stuff your eyes will pop out" release.
232 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: renamed urlLauncher resource to url-launcher.
233 - fix processing of DEC private mode save sequences (patch by Patrick
234 Hemmer).
235 - perl extensions now have their own manpages, installed as urxvt-NAME(1),
236 e.g. urxvt-background(1) - see urxvt-extensions(1) for a list.
237 - fix disabling of cursor blink with the option-popup menu (based on a
238 patch by Jan Larres).
239 - the font height is not augmented anymore when lineSpace is non zero.
240 - fix "new pagemap" vs. "delete pagemap" mismatch ([] vs. non-[]),
241 as diagnosed by clang.
242 - fix height mismatch between active and inactive cursor when
243 lineSpace is non zero (patch by Stanislav Seletskiy).
244 - make it compile with LOCAL_X_IS_UNIX again (reported by
245 nickfailure@gmail.com).
246 - completely redone background pixmap support - users can now
247 specify arbitrary expressions (And programs) that calculate
248 new terminal backgrounds. see the urxvt-background manpage
249 for details.
250 - xrender is now required for background pixmap support.
251 - perl extensions can now provide commandline switches and resources
252 which show up in -help etc.
253 - iso14755 51 mode window now displays row and column.
254 - implement a -visual switch and move that and -depth to frills, also
255 warn when we can't get the requested visual.
256 - new env variable: RXVT_PERL_LIB.
257 - allocate all screen memory in one go and let the virtual memory
258 subsystem sort it out. this simplifies code, improves access
259 locality, saves a bit of ram and makes things a bit faster, too.
260 - remove support for libafterimage.
261 - update to CVS version of libev, for a whopping 11kb size decrease.
262 - do not ship yet another copy of ecb.h, use the one in libev or
263 libptytty instead.
264 - selectively mark some methods as cache-hot/cache cold, which
265 might speed up execution but definitely decreases codesize.
266 - Fix regression that prevented the scrollbar trough color
267 from being applied (reported by Derek B. Noonburg).
268 - Fix the scrollbar size for rxvt style (patch by Mark Robinson).
269
2709.15 Sat Jan 21 13:36:56 CET 2012
271 - remove "using namespace std" because clang erroneously
272 thinks thats an error.
273 - finding a matching font (e.g. bold version of the base font)
274 was broken (reported by Eamon Walker).
275 - fix parsing of bg image styles. They really work now.
276 - fix blurring of bg image borders when using xrender.
277 - fix xrender blur on common xrender implementations that do
278 not behave correctly when the same pixmap is used as source
279 and destination in composite operations.
280 - fix regression that caused tabbed to compute the wrong size
281 for tabs.
282 - allow again an empty suffix in a keysym list spec (patch by
283 Sung Pae).
284 - unsupported support for sun studio's CC added.
285 - fix -C option on solaris.
286
2879.14 Wed Dec 21 18:40:33 CET 2011
288 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: the urxvtd default socket path is now
289 $HOME/.urxvt/urxvtd-<nodename>.
290 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: the "list" keysym expansion now requires
291 loading of the "keysym-list" perl extension.
292 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: A scale value of 0 in the bg image
293 geometry no longer enables tiling, so as to make it possible
294 to disable both scaling and tiling.
295 - overhaul of the bg image operations. The old operations have
296 been deprecated in favour of elementary operations and
297 styles built on top of the new operations and scale/position
298 settings. (Emanuele Giaquinta).
299 - support for libafterimage is deprecated and will be removed
300 in the next release.
301 - fix a crash caused by selection_check not properly resetting
302 out-of-bounds mark values (can happen when extending a selection
303 while scrolling up in curses programs for example).
304 - do not move the selection when scrolling up and the selection is
305 outside the scrolling region (Emanuele Giaquinta).
306 - fix display of bold bright black (reported by Ben Winslow).
307 - fix memory leak when urgentOnBell is set (patch by Nathaniel
308 Filardo).
309 - fix a redraw bug that occurs when a bg pixmap is set and the
310 wm does not honour the size hints set by urxvt. Now urxvt
311 forces the size of the terminal window to be a multiple of
312 the cell size.
313 - sanitise the argument of SD / SU sequences. Fixes a possible
314 crash when the argument is big enough, red hat bug #711137
315 (Emanuele Giaquinta).
316 - correctly split long lines when scrolling.
317 - urxvt now looks for perl extensions also in $HOME/.urxvt/ext.
318 - add bell-command perl extension to execute a command when a
319 bell event occurs (Ryan Kavanagh).
320 - add set_urgency perl binding to set/reset the urgency hint.
321 - consume button release event in matcher (exg).
322 - keyboard accessible list of recent matches in matcher
323 (Bob Farrell).
324 - properly process 'keysym' sequences in tabbed when using
325 'focus follows mouse' and the focus is on the main window
326 but not on the active terminal window (patch by Martin
327 Pohlack).
328 - support for the freedesktop startup-notification protocol (patch by
329 Michael Stapelberg).
330 - the direction of VPR and VPB commands was reversed.
331 - fix alignment of inherited root pixmap when it is a different size
332 than the root window and the terminal window is off the left or top
333 edge (Mikachu).
334 - make $self visible in "eval perl expression" popup action, also
335 handle exceptions better.
336 - fix parsing of '-e' when it occurs as an option argument, such as in
337 'urxvt -title -e' (Emanuele Giaquinta).
338
3399.12 Wed Jun 29 14:34:28 CEST 2011
340 - fix regression in processing of SelectionNotify events.
341 urxvt would fail to request a selection if the owner did not
342 support the UTF8_STRING target.
343 - fix rendering of double width chars in certain circumstances, more
344 likely to happen if urxvt is compiled with 256 colors support as
345 urxvt runs out of fonts much earlier then. Fixes gentoo bug #358151
346 (Emanuele Giaquinta).
347 - restore support for 'list' syntax in keysym resources (requested by Sung Pae).
348 - always premultiply colour values - while this increases differences between
349 core fonts and xft, it is "more correct" in practical situations.
350 - disable PTYTTY_REENTRANT option - not needed for urxvt and saves a bit of code.
351 - remove lucidatypewriter from the list of fallback fonts, it was the only
352 non-xft non-cellfont in the list anyway.
353
3549.11 Mon May 2 10:34:46 CEST 2011
355 - fix compilation on GNU/Hurd, debian bug #624736.
356 - remove 'list' syntax for keysym resources, as it serves no useful purpose.
357 If you need it, poke us and provide a use case.
358 - fix alpha channel support. Premultiply alpha in colours if the visual
359 supports an alpha channel, as xrender expects premultiplied alpha
360 (Emanuele Giaquinta).
361 - fix reply to a selection request sent by an obsolete client
362 such as syncterm (patch by Marcin Cieslak).
363 - fix crash when the window is resized and the overlay is active
364 (Emanuele Giaquinta, reported by Ryan Kavanagh).
365 - match character-wise rather than byte-wise in selection
366 extension again. perl 5.8.9+ is required to avoid extreme
367 slowdowns. Fixes debian bugs #523072, #616463.
368 - fix a possible crash if the INCR transfer process for a
369 selection property timeouts and at least one chunk is
370 received. (Emanuele Giaquinta)
24 - work around as memory corruption bug in xorg's XrmSetDatabase (apparently 371 - work around a memory corruption bug in xorg's XrmSetDatabase (apparently
25 broken since http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/xorg-commit-diffs/2004-March/000239.html). 372 broken since http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/xorg-commit-diffs/2004-March/000239.html).
373 - fix memory corruption bug when custom command sequences bound to keys
374 were injected into an already-full pty input buffer.
26 - gdk-pixbuf is autodetected by default and preferred over libafterimage. 375 - gdk-pixbuf is autodetected by default and preferred over libafterimage.
27 - do not prepend a newline to the selection text when the starting line 376 - do not prepend a newline to the selection text when the starting line
28 of the selection is not highlighted (Emanuele Giaquinta). 377 of the selection is not highlighted (Emanuele Giaquinta).
29 - don't swap perl env with real env, save and restore it, just in case 378 - don't swap perl env with real env, save and restore it, just in case
30 we ever get recursive perl invocations. also saves a bit of codespace 379 we ever get recursive perl invocations. also saves a bit of codespace
31 with gcc. 380 with gcc.
32 - fix various memory leaks (Emanuele Giaquinta). 381 - fix various memory leaks (Emanuele Giaquinta).
382 - fix typo in kIC terminfo capability, debian bug #446444.
383 - document 'thickness' resource.
33 - fix debian bug #504817, to the extent possible. 384 - fix debian bug #504817, to the extent possible.
34 - try to detect byte order at compile time, seems to work around weird linking 385 - try to detect byte order at compile time, saves a couple of
35 errors on freebsd (seems to have trouble with static member variables) - also
36 saves a couple of hundred bytes, if your compiler is smart enough. 386 hundred bytes, if your compiler is smart enough.
37 - add support for previewing the pasted data in confirm-paste 387 - add support for previewing the pasted data in confirm-paste
38 (Emanuele Giaquinta). 388 (Emanuele Giaquinta).
39 - added "newlines to spaces" option in selection-popup. 389 - added "newlines to spaces" option in selection-popup.
40 - actually enabled solaris event ports backends (was disabled by accident). 390 - actually enabled solaris event ports backend (was disabled by accident).
41 - revert to 38400 baud max., mission accomplished. 391 - revert to 38400 baud max., mission accomplished.
392 - no longer create scary "pty_fill: PLEASE REPORT" message, instead,
393 silently drain the input (problem is well understood now).
394 - no longer swallow rob nation's own graphics mode commands.
