52 - allow URxvt*keysym to match again. The fact that it was ignored
53 is considered a regression due in the way we checked for keysym
54 resources.
55 - new option/resource -rm/rewrapMode, which sets the line rewrap
56 mode to auto, never or always.
57 - new option/resource -dpb/disablePasteBrackets, which can be used to
58 disable bracketed paste mode sequences, as more and more programs
59 abuse these sequences (typically in the name of security, but these
60 sequences are not improving security).
61 - enable confirm-paste extension by default, can be disabled by e.g.
62 URxvt.perl-ext: -confirm-paste
63 - if urxvt cannot detect a good estimate for font width (because a font does
64 not contain latin characters at all for example), it will now fall
65 back to xft's max_advance_width, which works well with some fonts. It
66 currently will warn about this.
67 - do not render variation selectors in the default font as boxes, treat
68 them as zero-width characters.
69 - change combining character architecture to allow fonts to handle
70 combining sequences on their own. This could allow future renderers
71 to be more intelligent about these sequences.
72 - use the previous enhancement to allow unicode characters outside of the
73 BMP to be rendered even without --enable-unicode3, as long as an
74 xft with the character is configured.
75 It's recommended to stay with disabled unicode3 even more now.
76 - freetype/xft have been verified to return nonsensical offsets for
77 combining characters. urxvt tries to compensate to some extent,
78 but diacritics will be slightly off in many cases, and far off in
79 some cases (e.g. input mono).
80 - allow perl-ext and perl-ext-common to override autoloaded extensions.
81 this allows tabbed to disable itself in subtabs, avoiding recursive
82 loading.
83 - update precompose table to unicode 13.0.
84 - update charset conversion tables to perl 5.32 (this only affected
85 cs_koi8_u_from_unicode).
86 - unicode characters > 0x100000 were not handled correctly w.r.t.
87 font rendering.
88 - replace bitstream vera by dejavu sans, as it has replaced the former
89 almost everywhere.
90
919.26 Fri May 14 19:14:14 CEST 2021
92 - ev_iouring.c was wrongly required during compilation, and wrongly
93 not packaged.
94
959.25 Fri May 14 15:51:36 CEST 2021
96 - for the 17.5th anniversary, and because many distributions seem to
97 remove rxvt in favour of urxvt, this release resurrects rclock as
98 urclock.
99 - add support for systemd socket-based activation - debian bug #917105,
100 freebsd bug #234276.
101 - do not destruct perl on exit anymore: this might fail for a variety of
102 reasons, and takes unnecessary time.
103 - remove any macros from urxvtperl manpage(s), should fix debian
104 bug 858385.
105 - the old bg image resources are now provided by the background
106 extension, and perl is thus required for bg image support. No
107 configuration change is needed: urxvt autoloads the background
108 ext if any bg image resource/option is present (for OSC sequences to
109 work you need to enable it explicitly). The old bg image
110 resources are also now deprecated; users are encouraged to
111 switch to the new bg image interface (see man urxvt-background).
112 - confirm-paste now checks for any ctlchars, not just newlines.
113 - searchable scrollback will now ignore bracketed paste mode sequences
114 (prompted by Daniel Gröber's patch).
115 - drop ISO 2022 locale support. ISO 2022 encodings are not supported in
116 POSIX locales and clash with vt100 charset emulation (the luit
117 program can be used as a substitute).
118 - perl didn't parse rgba colours specified as an array correctly,
119 only allowing 0 and 100% intensity for each component (this affected
120 fill and tint).
121 - when iterating over resources, urxvt will now try to properly handle
122 multipart resources (such as "*background.expr"), for the benefit
123 of autoloading perl extensions.
124 - ESC G (query rxvt graphics mode) has been disabled due to security
125 implications. The rxvt graphics mode was removed in rxvt-unicode 1.5,
126 and no programs relying on being able to query the mode are known.
127 - work around API change breakage in perl 5.28, based on a patch by
128 Roman Bogorodskiy.
129 - improved security: rob nation's (obsolete) graphics mode queries
130 no longer reply with linefeed in secure/default mode.
131 - ISO 8613-3 direct colour SGR sequences (patch by Fengguang Wu).
132 - xterm focus reporting mode (patch by Daniel Hahler).
133 - xterm SGR mouse mode.
134 - implement DECRQM. Patch by Přemysl Eric Janouch.
135 - add missing color index parameter to OSC 4 response. Patch
136 by Přemysl Eric Janouch.
137 - in some window managers, if smart resize was enabled, urxvt
138 erroneously moved the window on font change - awesome bug
139 #532, arch linux bug ##34807 (patch by Uli Schlachter).
140 - fix urxvtd crash when using a background expression.
141 - properly restore colors when using fading and reverse video
142 is enabled while urxvt is focused and then disabled while it
143 is not focused, or vice versa (patch by Daniel Hahler).
144 - fix high memory usage when an extension repeatedly hides and
145 shows an overlay (reported by Marcel Lautenbach).
146 - expose priv_modes member and constants to perl extensions
147 (patch by Rastislav Barlik).
148 - fix a whole slew of const sillyness, unfortunately forced upon
149 us by ISO C++.
150 - update to libecb 0x00010006.
151 - disable all thread support in ecb.h as we presumably don't need it.
152 - slightly improve Makefile source dependencies.
153 - work around bugs in newer Pod::Xhtml versions (flags incorrect formatting codes
154 in xhtml/html sections but does not interpret correct ones).
155
1569.22 Sat Jan 23 21:07:33 CET 2016
157 - NOTICE: this release updates terminfo.
158 - add terminfo capabilities for various ctrl and shift-ctrl key variants
159 (patch by Sebastian Schmidt).
160 - fix longstanding core font encoding bug where some character
161 ranges could not be mapped from unicode to the font: affected
162 encodings are big5, gb2312, iso8859-8 (hebrew), jis0201 and
163 ksc5601 (reported by Mikachu).
164 - fix crash when the number of columns is 1 and a 0 width character is inserted
165 (reported by Kuang-che Wu).
166 - fix a crash when parsing an invalid color specification (reported by Kuang-che Wu).
167 - fix a buffer overflow in font name parser (reported by Kuang-che Wu).
168 - do not start blinking cursor if the window is unfocused (reported by
169 Devin J. Pohly).
170 - change the width of underline and i-beam cursor to 2 pixels (based on
171 a patch by Omar Sandoval).
172 - add pointerShape resource to change the mouse pointer shape
173 (based on a patch by Brian Watson).
174 - a keysym resource for a key which is already bound to an
175 action now properly rebinds the key.
176 - do not report mouse motion events if Shift is active (patch by Daniel Hahler).
177 - put the alpha component last in responses to OSC color queries
178 (patch by Benjamin Herr).
179 - the key_press hook is now invoked before processing the
180 event, as documented. This change was done in 9.21 but not
181 announced and fixes debian bugs #511377, #531751 and red hat
182 bug #1105069. Note that this change breaks a few scripts,
183 such as mark-yank-urls, which rely on the previous buggy
184 behaviour that urxvt processes the event (in particular
185 keysym bindings) before invoking the hook.
186 - the tabbed extension now properly refreshes the active tab
187 on a key press when the mouse pointer is outside the terminal
188 window.
189 - add 'lookup_keysym' perl method to lookup the action bound
190 to a key combination.
191 - a key combination bound to 'matcher:select' can now be used
192 to cycle through the matches in matcher.
193 - change perl integer accessors (->width et al.) into mutators.
194
1959.21 Wed Dec 31 14:50:03 CET 2014
196 - the "moa redraw 8-bit british vintage colour management" release.
197 - NOTICE: this release updates terminfo.
198 - fix pixel droppings on overdraw when a secondary core font has the
199 same height but different ascent.
200 - implement cvvis in terminfo as blinking cursor, to distinguish it
201 from cnorm (emacs uses cvvis which is commonly a blinking cursor).
202 - when xft support was compiled in, colour queries erroneously returned
203 premultiplied values, this also affected internal queries, for example
204 when calculating faded colour. alpha is now divided out when possible,
205 which is more correct but loses colour resolution.
206 - add DECSCUSR xterm extension to set the cursor to a vertical bar.
207 - add 'extension:string' action, and associated on_action perl
208 hook, for keysym resources that invokes actions provided by
209 perl extensions. The 'perl:string' action and
210 on_user_command hook are deprecated but still supported.
211 - add 'builtin-string' action for keysym resources that restores string
212 mappings for keys that have predefined actions in urxvt.
213 - add -k option to urxvtc for killing the daemon process.
214 - document urxvtd's -e/--eval option that was implemented in 9.16,
215 but not documented.
216 - add -dockapp option to make the wm treat urxvt as a dockapp.
217 - add -mc option and multiClickTime resource to set the maximum time
218 between multi-click select events (patch by Joe Peterson).
219 - new 'eval' extension to evaluate arbitrary perl code with keysym
220 bindings. The extension also provides methods that implement basic
221 actions, such as pasting selections and scrolling.
222 - the macosx-clipboard and macosx-clipboard-native extensions have been removed.
223 - kuake extension now uses the kuake.hotkey resource to specify the hotkey.
224 - new 'matcher:select' mode of matcher to iterate over the matches with the keyboard.
225 - the 'matcher:list' feature of matcher now honours the launcher
226 associated to a matched pattern.
227 - speed-up matcher underlining on very long lines (reported by Edward Z. Yang).
228 - fix up/down commands of searchable-scrollback so that they always move
229 to the previous/next logical line with a match, if any.
230 - searchable-scrollback resource has been deprecated (use keysym instead).
231 - extension parameter passing is deprecated (use resource mechanism instead).
232 - upgrade to GPLv3 (see COPYING).
233 - compile out of the box on Solaris 10, again.
234 - fix height and position of the stippled area in next scrollbar (patch
235 by Thomas Otto).
236 - fix off-by-one bug causing the iso14755 window not to jump out of the
237 way properly.
238 - fix crash that may happen if a lib to which urxvt is linked to calls setenv.
239 - fix memory leak in special_{encode,decode} perl methods.
240 - fix refresh bug that occurs when reverse video is set on a cell
241 containing a space and with the same bg and fg colour, red hat bug
242 #830236.
243 - fix crash that may happen if an x error is received after a terminal
244 window/popup has been destroyed already.
245 - removed superfluous 0 digit from sgr terminfo sequence.
246 - greatly improve colour allocation on colour-starved pseudocolour
247 displays to avoid read-write cells instead of simply failing
248 (this is only relevant for antique 8bpp frame buffers).
249 - do not free fade colours when not doing fading (this is likely
250 only relevant for antique 8bpp frame buffers).
251 - do not specialcase 2 or 4 colour visuals, leading to
252 simpler and actually more correct code.
253 - hopefully no longer leak colours on !truecolour visuals.
254 - use consistent method names (scr_recolour => scr_recolor).
255 - use simpler (but slightly less bogus) formula for nearest
256 colour choice (this is likely only relevant for antique 8bpp
257 frame buffers).
258 - remove fallback behaviour when initialising colours - the
259 behaviour was inconsistent between startup vs. later and
260 was only effective when valid colours couldn't be allocated.
261
2629.20 Sat Apr 26 16:22:27 CEST 2014
263 - (libptytty) fix bug that prevented urxvtd from writing utmp
264 entries when using --fork (reported by Ryan Kavanagh).
265 - security bugfix: window property values could be queried even
266 in secure mode (reported by Conor McCarthy).
267 - fix build when perl is enabled and fading is disabled.
268 - fix regression that broke continuous scrolling when pressing
269 and holding the scrollbar up or down button, gentoo bug #493992.
270 - increase the maximum length of a command sequence to 32k bytes,
271 to allow longer OSC sequences (previous limit was 2k).
272 - new Ctrl-Meta-c and Ctrl-Meta-v bindings to interact with
273 the CLIPBOARD selection.
274 - new extension: selection-to-clipboard.
275 - the extensions macosx-clipboard and macosx-clipboard-native
276 are deprecated and will be removed in the next release.
277 Support for the clipboard on OS X can be more generally
278 enabled by setting the XQuartz preference to sync the OS X
279 pasteboard and the X11 clipboard.
280
2819.19 Sun Oct 27 17:16:07 CET 2013
282 - work around perl 5.18.0 breakage in tabbed extension
283 (reported by Karol Blazewicz) and in pod (Dominic Hargreaves).
284 - fix regression that caused the double-click word selection to
285 erroneously include a tab on the left of the selected word.
286 - implement FOCUS variable and focus_fade function in background
287 expression, to allow focus-sensitive background images.
288 - add support for the set cursor style (DECSCUSR) control
289 function.
290 - honour cursorColor also when the cursor style is underline.
291 - export some Color_xxx constants to Perl.
292
2939.18 Sun Mar 24 15:33:35 CET 2013
294 - fix regression that caused artifacts on resize.
295
2969.17 Fri Mar 1 13:46:08 CET 2013
297 - add shade operator in background perl extension.
298 - avoid starting or ending the selection in the middle of wide
299 characters to avoid artifacts (reported by Tiago Resende).
300 - fix artifacts that may occur if the character in the cursor
301 cell has width > 1 (reported by Tiago Resende).
302 - fix regression that causes artifacts on scrolling if
303 saveLines is 0 and the window is resized (reported by Bert
304 Münnich).
305 - fix build when perl is enabled and pixbuf and transparency
306 are disabled.
307
3089.16 Thu Dec 27 11:56:43 CET 2012
309 - the "so much new stuff your eyes will pop out" release.
310 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: renamed urlLauncher resource to url-launcher.
311 - fix processing of DEC private mode save sequences (patch by Patrick
312 Hemmer).
313 - perl extensions now have their own manpages, installed as urxvt-NAME(1),
314 e.g. urxvt-background(1) - see urxvt-extensions(1) for a list.
315 - fix disabling of cursor blink with the option-popup menu (based on a
316 patch by Jan Larres).
317 - the font height is not augmented anymore when lineSpace is non zero.
318 - fix "new pagemap" vs. "delete pagemap" mismatch ([] vs. non-[]),
319 as diagnosed by clang.
320 - fix height mismatch between active and inactive cursor when
321 lineSpace is non zero (patch by Stanislav Seletskiy).
322 - make it compile with LOCAL_X_IS_UNIX again (reported by
323 nickfailure@gmail.com).
324 - completely redone background pixmap support - users can now
325 specify arbitrary expressions (And programs) that calculate
326 new terminal backgrounds. see the urxvt-background manpage
327 for details.
328 - xrender is now required for background pixmap support.
329 - perl extensions can now provide commandline switches and resources
330 which show up in -help etc.
331 - iso14755 51 mode window now displays row and column.
332 - implement a -visual switch and move that and -depth to frills, also
333 warn when we can't get the requested visual.
334 - new env variable: RXVT_PERL_LIB.
335 - allocate all screen memory in one go and let the virtual memory
336 subsystem sort it out. this simplifies code, improves access
337 locality, saves a bit of ram and makes things a bit faster, too.
338 - remove support for libafterimage.
339 - update to CVS version of libev, for a whopping 11kb size decrease.
340 - do not ship yet another copy of ecb.h, use the one in libev or
341 libptytty instead.
342 - selectively mark some methods as cache-hot/cache cold, which
343 might speed up execution but definitely decreases codesize.
344 - Fix regression that prevented the scrollbar trough color
345 from being applied (reported by Derek B. Noonburg).
346 - Fix the scrollbar size for rxvt style (patch by Mark Robinson).
347
3489.15 Sat Jan 21 13:36:56 CET 2012
349 - remove "using namespace std" because clang erroneously
350 thinks thats an error.
351 - finding a matching font (e.g. bold version of the base font)
352 was broken (reported by Eamon Walker).
353 - fix parsing of bg image styles. They really work now.
354 - fix blurring of bg image borders when using xrender.
355 - fix xrender blur on common xrender implementations that do
356 not behave correctly when the same pixmap is used as source
357 and destination in composite operations.
358 - fix regression that caused tabbed to compute the wrong size
359 for tabs.
360 - allow again an empty suffix in a keysym list spec (patch by
361 Sung Pae).
362 - unsupported support for sun studio's CC added.
363 - fix -C option on solaris.
364
3659.14 Wed Dec 21 18:40:33 CET 2011
366 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: the urxvtd default socket path is now
367 $HOME/.urxvt/urxvtd-<nodename>.
368 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: the "list" keysym expansion now requires
369 loading of the "keysym-list" perl extension.
370 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: A scale value of 0 in the bg image
371 geometry no longer enables tiling, so as to make it possible
372 to disable both scaling and tiling.
373 - overhaul of the bg image operations. The old operations have
374 been deprecated in favour of elementary operations and
375 styles built on top of the new operations and scale/position
376 settings. (Emanuele Giaquinta).
377 - support for libafterimage is deprecated and will be removed
378 in the next release.
379 - fix a crash caused by selection_check not properly resetting
380 out-of-bounds mark values (can happen when extending a selection
381 while scrolling up in curses programs for example).
382 - do not move the selection when scrolling up and the selection is
383 outside the scrolling region (Emanuele Giaquinta).
384 - fix display of bold bright black (reported by Ben Winslow).
385 - fix memory leak when urgentOnBell is set (patch by Nathaniel
386 Filardo).
387 - fix a redraw bug that occurs when a bg pixmap is set and the
388 wm does not honour the size hints set by urxvt. Now urxvt
389 forces the size of the terminal window to be a multiple of
390 the cell size.
391 - sanitise the argument of SD / SU sequences. Fixes a possible
392 crash when the argument is big enough, red hat bug #711137
393 (Emanuele Giaquinta).
394 - correctly split long lines when scrolling.
395 - urxvt now looks for perl extensions also in $HOME/.urxvt/ext.
396 - add bell-command perl extension to execute a command when a
397 bell event occurs (Ryan Kavanagh).
398 - add set_urgency perl binding to set/reset the urgency hint.
399 - consume button release event in matcher (exg).
400 - keyboard accessible list of recent matches in matcher
401 (Bob Farrell).
402 - properly process 'keysym' sequences in tabbed when using
403 'focus follows mouse' and the focus is on the main window
404 but not on the active terminal window (patch by Martin
405 Pohlack).
406 - support for the freedesktop startup-notification protocol (patch by
407 Michael Stapelberg).
408 - the direction of VPR and VPB commands was reversed.
409 - fix alignment of inherited root pixmap when it is a different size
410 than the root window and the terminal window is off the left or top
411 edge (Mikachu).
412 - make $self visible in "eval perl expression" popup action, also
413 handle exceptions better.
414 - fix parsing of '-e' when it occurs as an option argument, such as in
415 'urxvt -title -e' (Emanuele Giaquinta).
416
4179.12 Wed Jun 29 14:34:28 CEST 2011
418 - fix regression in processing of SelectionNotify events.
419 urxvt would fail to request a selection if the owner did not
420 support the UTF8_STRING target.
421 - fix rendering of double width chars in certain circumstances, more
422 likely to happen if urxvt is compiled with 256 colors support as
423 urxvt runs out of fonts much earlier then. Fixes gentoo bug #358151
424 (Emanuele Giaquinta).
425 - restore support for 'list' syntax in keysym resources (requested by Sung Pae).
426 - always premultiply colour values - while this increases differences between
427 core fonts and xft, it is "more correct" in practical situations.
428 - disable PTYTTY_REENTRANT option - not needed for urxvt and saves a bit of code.
429 - remove lucidatypewriter from the list of fallback fonts, it was the only
430 non-xft non-cellfont in the list anyway.
431
4329.11 Mon May 2 10:34:46 CEST 2011
433 - fix compilation on GNU/Hurd, debian bug #624736.
24 - remove 'list' syntax for keysym resources, as it serves no useful purpose. 434 - remove 'list' syntax for keysym resources, as it serves no useful purpose.
