49 - do not render variation selectors in the default font as boxes, treat
50 them as zero-width characters.
51 - allow perl-ext and perl-ext-common to override autoloaded extensions.
52 this allows tabbed to disable itself in subtabs, avoiding recursive
53 loading.
54 - update precompose table to uinicode 13.0.
55 - update charset conversion tables to perl 5.32 (this only affected
56 cs_koi8_u_from_unicode).
57
589.26 Fri May 14 19:14:14 CEST 2021
59 - ev_iouring.c was wrongly required during compilation, and wrongly
60 not packaged.
61
629.25 Fri May 14 15:51:36 CEST 2021
63 - for the 17.5th anniversary, and because many distributions seem to
64 remove rxvt in favour of urxvt, this release resurrects rclock as
65 urclock.
66 - add support for systemd socket-based activation - debian bug #917105,
67 freebsd bug #234276.
68 - do not destruct perl on exit anymore: this might fail for a variety of
69 reasons, and takes unnecessary time.
70 - remove any macros from urxvtperl manpage(s), should fix debian
71 bug 858385.
72 - the old bg image resources are now provided by the background
73 extension, and perl is thus required for bg image support. No
74 configuration change is needed: urxvt autoloads the background
75 ext if any bg image resource/option is present (for OSC sequences to
76 work you need to enable it explicitly). The old bg image
77 resources are also now deprecated; users are encouraged to
78 switch to the new bg image interface (see man urxvt-background).
79 - confirm-paste now checks for any ctlchars, not just newlines.
80 - searchable scrollback will now ignore bracketed paste mode sequences
81 (prompted by Daniel Gröber's patch).
82 - drop ISO 2022 locale support. ISO 2022 encodings are not supported in
83 POSIX locales and clash with vt100 charset emulation (the luit
84 program can be used as a substitute).
85 - perl didn't parse rgba colours specified as an array correctly,
86 only allowing 0 and 100% intensity for each component (this affected
87 fill and tint).
88 - when iterating over resources, urxvt will now try to properly handle
89 multipart resources (such as "*background.expr"), for the benefit
90 of autoloading perl extensions.
91 - ESC G (query rxvt graphics mode) has been disabled due to security
92 implications. The rxvt graphics mode was removed in rxvt-unicode 1.5,
93 and no programs relying on being able to query the mode are known.
94 - work around API change breakage in perl 5.28, based on a patch by
95 Roman Bogorodskiy.
96 - improved security: rob nation's (obsolete) graphics mode queries
97 no longer reply with linefeed in secure/default mode.
98 - ISO 8613-3 direct colour SGR sequences (patch by Fengguang Wu).
99 - xterm focus reporting mode (patch by Daniel Hahler).
100 - xterm SGR mouse mode.
101 - implement DECRQM. Patch by Přemysl Eric Janouch.
102 - add missing color index parameter to OSC 4 response. Patch
103 by Přemysl Eric Janouch.
104 - in some window managers, if smart resize was enabled, urxvt
105 erroneously moved the window on font change - awesome bug
106 #532, arch linux bug ##34807 (patch by Uli Schlachter).
107 - fix urxvtd crash when using a background expression.
108 - properly restore colors when using fading and reverse video
109 is enabled while urxvt is focused and then disabled while it
110 is not focused, or vice versa (patch by Daniel Hahler).
111 - fix high memory usage when an extension repeatedly hides and
112 shows an overlay (reported by Marcel Lautenbach).
113 - expose priv_modes member and constants to perl extensions
114 (patch by Rastislav Barlik).
115 - fix a whole slew of const sillyness, unfortunately forced upon
116 us by ISO C++.
117 - update to libecb 0x00010006.
118 - disable all thread support in ecb.h as we presumably don't need it.
119 - slightly improve Makefile source dependencies.
120 - work around bugs in newer Pod::Xhtml versions (flags incorrect formatting codes
121 in xhtml/html sections but does not interpret correct ones).
122
1239.22 Sat Jan 23 21:07:33 CET 2016
124 - NOTICE: this release updates terminfo.
125 - add terminfo capabilities for various ctrl and shift-ctrl key variants
126 (patch by Sebastian Schmidt).
127 - fix longstanding core font encoding bug where some character
128 ranges could not be mapped from unicode to the font: affected
129 encodings are big5, gb2312, iso8859-8 (hebrew), jis0201 and
130 ksc5601 (reported by Mikachu).
131 - fix crash when the number of columns is 1 and a 0 width character is inserted
132 (reported by Kuang-che Wu).
133 - fix a crash when parsing an invalid color specification (reported by Kuang-che Wu).
134 - fix a buffer overflow in font name parser (reported by Kuang-che Wu).
135 - do not start blinking cursor if the window is unfocused (reported by
136 Devin J. Pohly).
137 - change the width of underline and i-beam cursor to 2 pixels (based on
138 a patch by Omar Sandoval).
139 - add pointerShape resource to change the mouse pointer shape
140 (based on a patch by Brian Watson).
141 - a keysym resource for a key which is already bound to an
142 action now properly rebinds the key.
143 - do not report mouse motion events if Shift is active (patch by Daniel Hahler).
144 - put the alpha component last in responses to OSC color queries
145 (patch by Benjamin Herr).
146 - the key_press hook is now invoked before processing the
147 event, as documented. This change was done in 9.21 but not
148 announced and fixes debian bugs #511377, #531751 and red hat
149 bug #1105069. Note that this change breaks a few scripts,
150 such as mark-yank-urls, which rely on the previous buggy
151 behaviour that urxvt processes the event (in particular
152 keysym bindings) before invoking the hook.
153 - the tabbed extension now properly refreshes the active tab
154 on a key press when the mouse pointer is outside the terminal
155 window.
156 - add 'lookup_keysym' perl method to lookup the action bound
157 to a key combination.
158 - a key combination bound to 'matcher:select' can now be used
159 to cycle through the matches in matcher.
160 - change perl integer accessors (->width et al.) into mutators.
161
1629.21 Wed Dec 31 14:50:03 CET 2014
163 - the "moa redraw 8-bit british vintage colour management" release.
164 - NOTICE: this release updates terminfo.
165 - fix pixel droppings on overdraw when a secondary core font has the
166 same height but different ascent.
167 - implement cvvis in terminfo as blinking cursor, to distinguish it
168 from cnorm (emacs uses cvvis which is commonly a blinking cursor).
169 - when xft support was compiled in, colour queries erroneously returned
170 premultiplied values, this also affected internal queries, for example
171 when calculating faded colour. alpha is now divided out when possible,
172 which is more correct but loses colour resolution.
173 - add DECSCUSR xterm extension to set the cursor to a vertical bar.
174 - add 'extension:string' action, and associated on_action perl
175 hook, for keysym resources that invokes actions provided by
176 perl extensions. The 'perl:string' action and
177 on_user_command hook are deprecated but still supported.
178 - add 'builtin-string' action for keysym resources that restores string
179 mappings for keys that have predefined actions in urxvt.
180 - add -k option to urxvtc for killing the daemon process.
181 - document urxvtd's -e/--eval option that was implemented in 9.16,
182 but not documented.
183 - add -dockapp option to make the wm treat urxvt as a dockapp.
184 - add -mc option and multiClickTime resource to set the maximum time
185 between multi-click select events (patch by Joe Peterson).
186 - new 'eval' extension to evaluate arbitrary perl code with keysym
187 bindings. The extension also provides methods that implement basic
188 actions, such as pasting selections and scrolling.
189 - the macosx-clipboard and macosx-clipboard-native extensions have been removed.
190 - kuake extension now uses the kuake.hotkey resource to specify the hotkey.
191 - new 'matcher:select' mode of matcher to iterate over the matches with the keyboard.
192 - the 'matcher:list' feature of matcher now honours the launcher
193 associated to a matched pattern.
194 - speed-up matcher underlining on very long lines (reported by Edward Z. Yang).
195 - fix up/down commands of searchable-scrollback so that they always move
196 to the previous/next logical line with a match, if any.
197 - searchable-scrollback resource has been deprecated (use keysym instead).
198 - extension parameter passing is deprecated (use resource mechanism instead).
199 - upgrade to GPLv3 (see COPYING).
200 - compile out of the box on Solaris 10, again.
201 - fix height and position of the stippled area in next scrollbar (patch
202 by Thomas Otto).
203 - fix off-by-one bug causing the iso14755 window not to jump out of the
204 way properly.
205 - fix crash that may happen if a lib to which urxvt is linked to calls setenv.
206 - fix memory leak in special_{encode,decode} perl methods.
207 - fix refresh bug that occurs when reverse video is set on a cell
208 containing a space and with the same bg and fg colour, red hat bug
209 #830236.
210 - fix crash that may happen if an x error is received after a terminal
211 window/popup has been destroyed already.
212 - removed superfluous 0 digit from sgr terminfo sequence.
213 - greatly improve colour allocation on colour-starved pseudocolour
214 displays to avoid read-write cells instead of simply failing
215 (this is only relevant for antique 8bpp frame buffers).
216 - do not free fade colours when not doing fading (this is likely
217 only relevant for antique 8bpp frame buffers).
218 - do not specialcase 2 or 4 colour visuals, leading to
219 simpler and actually more correct code.
220 - hopefully no longer leak colours on !truecolour visuals.
221 - use consistent method names (scr_recolour => scr_recolor).
222 - use simpler (but slightly less bogus) formula for nearest
223 colour choice (this is likely only relevant for antique 8bpp
224 frame buffers).
225 - remove fallback behaviour when initialising colours - the
226 behaviour was inconsistent between startup vs. later and
227 was only effective when valid colours couldn't be allocated.
228
2299.20 Sat Apr 26 16:22:27 CEST 2014
230 - (libptytty) fix bug that prevented urxvtd from writing utmp
231 entries when using --fork (reported by Ryan Kavanagh).
232 - security bugfix: window property values could be queried even
233 in secure mode (reported by Conor McCarthy).
234 - fix build when perl is enabled and fading is disabled.
235 - fix regression that broke continuous scrolling when pressing
236 and holding the scrollbar up or down button, gentoo bug #493992.
237 - increase the maximum length of a command sequence to 32k bytes,
238 to allow longer OSC sequences (previous limit was 2k).
239 - new Ctrl-Meta-c and Ctrl-Meta-v bindings to interact with
240 the CLIPBOARD selection.
241 - new extension: selection-to-clipboard.
242 - the extensions macosx-clipboard and macosx-clipboard-native
243 are deprecated and will be removed in the next release.
244 Support for the clipboard on OS X can be more generally
245 enabled by setting the XQuartz preference to sync the OS X
246 pasteboard and the X11 clipboard.
247
2489.19 Sun Oct 27 17:16:07 CET 2013
249 - work around perl 5.18.0 breakage in tabbed extension
250 (reported by Karol Blazewicz) and in pod (Dominic Hargreaves).
251 - fix regression that caused the double-click word selection to
252 erroneously include a tab on the left of the selected word.
253 - implement FOCUS variable and focus_fade function in background
254 expression, to allow focus-sensitive background images.
255 - add support for the set cursor style (DECSCUSR) control
256 function.
257 - honour cursorColor also when the cursor style is underline.
258 - export some Color_xxx constants to Perl.
259
2609.18 Sun Mar 24 15:33:35 CET 2013
261 - fix regression that caused artifacts on resize.
262
2639.17 Fri Mar 1 13:46:08 CET 2013
264 - add shade operator in background perl extension.
265 - avoid starting or ending the selection in the middle of wide
266 characters to avoid artifacts (reported by Tiago Resende).
267 - fix artifacts that may occur if the character in the cursor
268 cell has width > 1 (reported by Tiago Resende).
269 - fix regression that causes artifacts on scrolling if
270 saveLines is 0 and the window is resized (reported by Bert
271 Münnich).
272 - fix build when perl is enabled and pixbuf and transparency
273 are disabled.
274
2759.16 Thu Dec 27 11:56:43 CET 2012
276 - the "so much new stuff your eyes will pop out" release.
277 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: renamed urlLauncher resource to url-launcher.
278 - fix processing of DEC private mode save sequences (patch by Patrick
279 Hemmer).
280 - perl extensions now have their own manpages, installed as urxvt-NAME(1),
281 e.g. urxvt-background(1) - see urxvt-extensions(1) for a list.
282 - fix disabling of cursor blink with the option-popup menu (based on a
283 patch by Jan Larres).
284 - the font height is not augmented anymore when lineSpace is non zero.
285 - fix "new pagemap" vs. "delete pagemap" mismatch ([] vs. non-[]),
286 as diagnosed by clang.
287 - fix height mismatch between active and inactive cursor when
288 lineSpace is non zero (patch by Stanislav Seletskiy).
289 - make it compile with LOCAL_X_IS_UNIX again (reported by
290 nickfailure@gmail.com).
291 - completely redone background pixmap support - users can now
292 specify arbitrary expressions (And programs) that calculate
293 new terminal backgrounds. see the urxvt-background manpage
294 for details.
295 - xrender is now required for background pixmap support.
296 - perl extensions can now provide commandline switches and resources
297 which show up in -help etc.
298 - iso14755 51 mode window now displays row and column.
299 - implement a -visual switch and move that and -depth to frills, also
300 warn when we can't get the requested visual.
301 - new env variable: RXVT_PERL_LIB.
302 - allocate all screen memory in one go and let the virtual memory
303 subsystem sort it out. this simplifies code, improves access
304 locality, saves a bit of ram and makes things a bit faster, too.
305 - remove support for libafterimage.
306 - update to CVS version of libev, for a whopping 11kb size decrease.
307 - do not ship yet another copy of ecb.h, use the one in libev or
308 libptytty instead.
309 - selectively mark some methods as cache-hot/cache cold, which
310 might speed up execution but definitely decreases codesize.
311 - Fix regression that prevented the scrollbar trough color
312 from being applied (reported by Derek B. Noonburg).
313 - Fix the scrollbar size for rxvt style (patch by Mark Robinson).
314
3159.15 Sat Jan 21 13:36:56 CET 2012
316 - remove "using namespace std" because clang erroneously
317 thinks thats an error.
318 - finding a matching font (e.g. bold version of the base font)
319 was broken (reported by Eamon Walker).
320 - fix parsing of bg image styles. They really work now.
321 - fix blurring of bg image borders when using xrender.
322 - fix xrender blur on common xrender implementations that do
323 not behave correctly when the same pixmap is used as source
324 and destination in composite operations.
325 - fix regression that caused tabbed to compute the wrong size
326 for tabs.
327 - allow again an empty suffix in a keysym list spec (patch by
328 Sung Pae).
329 - unsupported support for sun studio's CC added.
330 - fix -C option on solaris.
331
3329.14 Wed Dec 21 18:40:33 CET 2011
333 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: the urxvtd default socket path is now
334 $HOME/.urxvt/urxvtd-<nodename>.
335 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: the "list" keysym expansion now requires
336 loading of the "keysym-list" perl extension.
337 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: A scale value of 0 in the bg image
338 geometry no longer enables tiling, so as to make it possible
339 to disable both scaling and tiling.
340 - overhaul of the bg image operations. The old operations have
341 been deprecated in favour of elementary operations and
342 styles built on top of the new operations and scale/position
343 settings. (Emanuele Giaquinta).
344 - support for libafterimage is deprecated and will be removed
345 in the next release.
346 - fix a crash caused by selection_check not properly resetting
347 out-of-bounds mark values (can happen when extending a selection
348 while scrolling up in curses programs for example).
349 - do not move the selection when scrolling up and the selection is
350 outside the scrolling region (Emanuele Giaquinta).
351 - fix display of bold bright black (reported by Ben Winslow).
352 - fix memory leak when urgentOnBell is set (patch by Nathaniel
353 Filardo).
354 - fix a redraw bug that occurs when a bg pixmap is set and the
355 wm does not honour the size hints set by urxvt. Now urxvt
356 forces the size of the terminal window to be a multiple of
357 the cell size.
358 - sanitise the argument of SD / SU sequences. Fixes a possible
359 crash when the argument is big enough, red hat bug #711137
360 (Emanuele Giaquinta).
361 - correctly split long lines when scrolling.
362 - urxvt now looks for perl extensions also in $HOME/.urxvt/ext.
363 - add bell-command perl extension to execute a command when a
364 bell event occurs (Ryan Kavanagh).
365 - add set_urgency perl binding to set/reset the urgency hint.
366 - consume button release event in matcher (exg).
367 - keyboard accessible list of recent matches in matcher
368 (Bob Farrell).
369 - properly process 'keysym' sequences in tabbed when using
370 'focus follows mouse' and the focus is on the main window
371 but not on the active terminal window (patch by Martin
372 Pohlack).
373 - support for the freedesktop startup-notification protocol (patch by
374 Michael Stapelberg).
375 - the direction of VPR and VPB commands was reversed.
376 - fix alignment of inherited root pixmap when it is a different size
377 than the root window and the terminal window is off the left or top
378 edge (Mikachu).
379 - make $self visible in "eval perl expression" popup action, also
380 handle exceptions better.
381 - fix parsing of '-e' when it occurs as an option argument, such as in
382 'urxvt -title -e' (Emanuele Giaquinta).
383
3849.12 Wed Jun 29 14:34:28 CEST 2011
385 - fix regression in processing of SelectionNotify events.
386 urxvt would fail to request a selection if the owner did not
387 support the UTF8_STRING target.
388 - fix rendering of double width chars in certain circumstances, more
389 likely to happen if urxvt is compiled with 256 colors support as
390 urxvt runs out of fonts much earlier then. Fixes gentoo bug #358151
391 (Emanuele Giaquinta).
392 - restore support for 'list' syntax in keysym resources (requested by Sung Pae).
393 - always premultiply colour values - while this increases differences between
394 core fonts and xft, it is "more correct" in practical situations.
395 - disable PTYTTY_REENTRANT option - not needed for urxvt and saves a bit of code.
396 - remove lucidatypewriter from the list of fallback fonts, it was the only
397 non-xft non-cellfont in the list anyway.
398
3999.11 Mon May 2 10:34:46 CEST 2011
400 - fix compilation on GNU/Hurd, debian bug #624736.
401 - remove 'list' syntax for keysym resources, as it serves no useful purpose.
402 If you need it, poke us and provide a use case.
403 - fix alpha channel support. Premultiply alpha in colours if the visual
404 supports an alpha channel, as xrender expects premultiplied alpha
405 (Emanuele Giaquinta).
406 - fix reply to a selection request sent by an obsolete client
407 such as syncterm (patch by Marcin Cieslak).
408 - fix crash when the window is resized and the overlay is active
409 (Emanuele Giaquinta, reported by Ryan Kavanagh).
410 - match character-wise rather than byte-wise in selection
411 extension again. perl 5.8.9+ is required to avoid extreme
412 slowdowns. Fixes debian bugs #523072, #616463.
32 - fix a possible crash if the INCR transfer process for a 413 - fix a possible crash if the INCR transfer process for a
33 selection property timeouts and at least one chunk is 414 selection property timeouts and at least one chunk is
34 received. (Emanuele Giaquinta) 415 received. (Emanuele Giaquinta)
35 - work around as memory corruption bug in xorg's XrmSetDatabase (apparently 416 - work around a memory corruption bug in xorg's XrmSetDatabase (apparently
36 broken since http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/xorg-commit-diffs/2004-March/000239.html). 417 broken since http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/xorg-commit-diffs/2004-March/000239.html).
