42 - ISO 8613-3 direct colour SGR sequences (patch by Fengguang Wu).
43 - xterm focus reporting mode (patch by Daniel Hahler).
44 - in some window managers, if smart resize was enabled, urxvt
45 erroneously moved the window on font change - awesome bug
46 #532, arch linux bug ##34807 (patch by Uli Schlachter).
47 - the old bg image resources are now provided by the background
48 extension, and perl is thus required for bg image support. No
49 configuration change is needed: urxvt autoloads the background
50 ext if any bg image resource/option is present. The old bg image
51 resources are also now deprecated; users are encouraged to
52 switch to the new bg image interface (see man urxvt-background).
53
549.22 Sat Jan 23 21:07:33 CET 2016
55 - NOTICE: this release updates terminfo.
56 - add terminfo capabilities for various ctrl and shift-ctrl key variants
57 (patch by Sebastian Schmidt).
58 - fix longstanding core font encoding bug where some character
59 ranges could not be mapped from unicode to the font: affected
60 encodings are big5, gb2312, iso8859-8 (hebrew), jis0201 and
61 ksc5601 (reported by Mikachu).
62 - fix crash when the number of columns is 1 and a 0 width character is inserted
63 (reported by Kuang-che Wu).
64 - fix a crash when parsing an invalid color specification (reported by Kuang-che Wu).
65 - fix a buffer overflow in font name parser (reported by Kuang-che Wu).
66 - do not start blinking cursor if the window is unfocused (reported by
67 Devin J. Pohly).
68 - change the width of underline and i-beam cursor to 2 pixels (based on
69 a patch by Omar Sandoval).
70 - add pointerShape resource to change the mouse pointer shape
71 (based on a patch by Brian Watson).
72 - a keysym resource for a key which is already bound to an
73 action now properly rebinds the key.
74 - do not report mouse motion events if Shift is active (patch by Daniel Hahler).
75 - put the alpha component last in responses to OSC color queries
76 (patch by Benjamin Herr).
77 - the key_press hook is now invoked before processing the
78 event, as documented. This change was done in 9.21 but not
79 announced and fixes debian bugs #511377, #531751 and red hat
80 bug #1105069. Note that this change breaks a few scripts,
81 such as mark-yank-urls, which rely on the previous buggy
82 behaviour that urxvt processes the event (in particular
83 keysym bindings) before invoking the hook.
84 - the tabbed extension now properly refreshes the active tab
85 on a key press when the mouse pointer is outside the terminal
86 window.
87 - add 'lookup_keysym' perl method to lookup the action bound
88 to a key combination.
89 - a key combination bound to 'matcher:select' can now be used
90 to cycle through the matches in matcher.
91 - change perl integer accessors (->width et al.) into mutators.
92
939.21 Wed Dec 31 14:50:03 CET 2014
94 - the "moa redraw 8-bit british vintage colour management" release.
95 - NOTICE: this release updates terminfo.
96 - fix pixel droppings on overdraw when a secondary core font has the
97 same height but different ascent.
98 - implement cvvis in terminfo as blinking cursor, to distinguish it
99 from cnorm (emacs uses cvvis which is commonly a blinking cursor).
100 - when xft support was compiled in, colour queries erroneously returned
101 premultiplied values, this also affected internal queries, for example
102 when calculating faded colour. alpha is now divided out when possible,
103 which is more correct but loses colour resolution.
104 - add DECSCUSR xterm extension to set the cursor to a vertical bar.
105 - add 'extension:string' action, and associated on_action perl
106 hook, for keysym resources that invokes actions provided by
107 perl extensions. The 'perl:string' action and
108 on_user_command hook are deprecated but still supported.
109 - add 'builtin-string' action for keysym resources that restores string
110 mappings for keys that have predefined actions in urxvt.
111 - add -k option to urxvtc for killing the daemon process.
112 - document urxvtd's -e/--eval option that was implemented in 9.16,
113 but not documented.
114 - add -dockapp option to make the wm treat urxvt as a dockapp.
115 - add -mc option and multiClickTime resource to set the maximum time
116 between multi-click select events (patch by Joe Peterson).
117 - new 'eval' extension to evaluate arbitrary perl code with keysym
118 bindings. The extension also provides methods that implement basic
119 actions, such as pasting selections and scrolling.
120 - the macosx-clipboard and macosx-clipboard-native extensions have been removed.
121 - kuake extension now uses the kuake.hotkey resource to specify the hotkey.
122 - new 'matcher:select' mode of matcher to iterate over the matches with the keyboard.
123 - the 'matcher:list' feature of matcher now honours the launcher
124 associated to a matched pattern.
125 - speed-up matcher underlining on very long lines (reported by Edward Z. Yang).
126 - fix up/down commands of searchable-scrollback so that they always move
127 to the previous/next logical line with a match, if any.
128 - searchable-scrollback resource has been deprecated (use keysym instead).
129 - extension parameter passing is deprecated (use resource mechanism instead).
130 - upgrade to GPLv3 (see COPYING).
131 - compile out of the box on Solaris 10, again.
132 - fix height and position of the stippled area in next scrollbar (patch
133 by Thomas Otto).
134 - fix off-by-one bug causing the iso14755 window not to jump out of the
135 way properly.
136 - fix crash that may happen if a lib to which urxvt is linked to calls setenv.
137 - fix memory leak in special_{encode,decode} perl methods.
138 - fix refresh bug that occurs when reverse video is set on a cell
139 containing a space and with the same bg and fg colour, red hat bug
140 #830236.
141 - fix crash that may happen if an x error is received after a terminal
142 window/popup has been destroyed already.
143 - removed superfluous 0 digit from sgr terminfo sequence.
144 - greatly improve colour allocation on colour-starved pseudocolour
145 displays to avoid read-write cells instead of simply failing
146 (this is only relevant for antique 8bpp frame buffers).
147 - do not free fade colours when not doing fading (this is likely
148 only relevant for antique 8bpp frame buffers).
149 - do not specialcase 2 or 4 colour visuals, leading to
150 simpler and actually more correct code.
151 - hopefully no longer leak colours on !truecolour visuals.
152 - use consistent method names (scr_recolour => scr_recolor).
153 - use simpler (but slightly less bogus) formula for nearest
154 colour choice (this is likely only relevant for antique 8bpp
155 frame buffers).
156 - remove fallback behaviour when initialising colours - the
157 behaviour was inconsistent between startup vs. later and
158 was only effective when valid colours couldn't be allocated.
159
1609.20 Sat Apr 26 16:22:27 CEST 2014
161 - (libptytty) fix bug that prevented urxvtd from writing utmp
162 entries when using --fork (reported by Ryan Kavanagh).
163 - security bugfix: window property values could be queried even
164 in secure mode (reported by Conor McCarthy).
165 - fix build when perl is enabled and fading is disabled.
166 - fix regression that broke continuous scrolling when pressing
167 and holding the scrollbar up or down button, gentoo bug #493992.
168 - increase the maximum length of a command sequence to 32k bytes,
169 to allow longer OSC sequences (previous limit was 2k).
170 - new Ctrl-Meta-c and Ctrl-Meta-v bindings to interact with
171 the CLIPBOARD selection.
172 - new extension: selection-to-clipboard.
173 - the extensions macosx-clipboard and macosx-clipboard-native
174 are deprecated and will be removed in the next release.
175 Support for the clipboard on OS X can be more generally
176 enabled by setting the XQuartz preference to sync the OS X
177 pasteboard and the X11 clipboard.
178
1799.19 Sun Oct 27 17:16:07 CET 2013
180 - work around perl 5.18.0 breakage in tabbed extension
181 (reported by Karol Blazewicz) and in pod (Dominic Hargreaves).
182 - fix regression that caused the double-click word selection to
183 erroneously include a tab on the left of the selected word.
184 - implement FOCUS variable and focus_fade function in background
185 expression, to allow focus-sensitive background images.
186 - add support for the set cursor style (DECSCUSR) control
187 function.
188 - honour cursorColor also when the cursor style is underline.
189 - export some Color_xxx constants to Perl.
190
1919.18 Sun Mar 24 15:33:35 CET 2013
192 - fix regression that caused artifacts on resize.
193
1949.17 Fri Mar 1 13:46:08 CET 2013
195 - add shade operator in background perl extension.
196 - avoid starting or ending the selection in the middle of wide
197 characters to avoid artifacts (reported by Tiago Resende).
198 - fix artifacts that may occur if the character in the cursor
199 cell has width > 1 (reported by Tiago Resende).
200 - fix regression that causes artifacts on scrolling if
201 saveLines is 0 and the window is resized (reported by Bert
202 Münnich).
203 - fix build when perl is enabled and pixbuf and transparency
204 are disabled.
205
2069.16 Thu Dec 27 11:56:43 CET 2012
207 - the "so much new stuff your eyes will pop out" release.
208 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: renamed urlLauncher resource to url-launcher.
209 - fix processing of DEC private mode save sequences (patch by Patrick
210 Hemmer).
211 - perl extensions now have their own manpages, installed as urxvt-NAME(1),
212 e.g. urxvt-background(1) - see urxvt-extensions(1) for a list.
213 - fix disabling of cursor blink with the option-popup menu (based on a
214 patch by Jan Larres).
215 - the font height is not augmented anymore when lineSpace is non zero.
216 - fix "new pagemap" vs. "delete pagemap" mismatch ([] vs. non-[]),
217 as diagnosed by clang.
218 - fix height mismatch between active and inactive cursor when
219 lineSpace is non zero (patch by Stanislav Seletskiy).
220 - make it compile with LOCAL_X_IS_UNIX again (reported by
221 nickfailure@gmail.com).
222 - completely redone background pixmap support - users can now
223 specify arbitrary expressions (And programs) that calculate
224 new terminal backgrounds. see the urxvt-background manpage
225 for details.
226 - xrender is now required for background pixmap support.
227 - perl extensions can now provide commandline switches and resources
228 which show up in -help etc.
229 - iso14755 51 mode window now displays row and column.
230 - implement a -visual switch and move that and -depth to frills, also
231 warn when we can't get the requested visual.
232 - new env variable: RXVT_PERL_LIB.
233 - allocate all screen memory in one go and let the virtual memory
234 subsystem sort it out. this simplifies code, improves access
235 locality, saves a bit of ram and makes things a bit faster, too.
236 - remove support for libafterimage.
237 - update to CVS version of libev, for a whopping 11kb size decrease.
238 - do not ship yet another copy of ecb.h, use the one in libev or
239 libptytty instead.
240 - selectively mark some methods as cache-hot/cache cold, which
241 might speed up execution but definitely decreases codesize.
242 - Fix regression that prevented the scrollbar trough color
243 from being applied (reported by Derek B. Noonburg).
244 - Fix the scrollbar size for rxvt style (patch by Mark Robinson).
245
2469.15 Sat Jan 21 13:36:56 CET 2012

248 thinks thats an error.
249 - finding a matching font (e.g. bold version of the base font)
250 was broken (reported by Eamon Walker).
251 - fix parsing of bg image styles. They really work now.
252 - fix blurring of bg image borders when using xrender.
253 - fix xrender blur on common xrender implementations that do
254 not behave correctly when the same pixmap is used as source
255 and destination in composite operations.
256 - fix regression that caused tabbed to compute the wrong size
257 for tabs.
258 - allow again an empty suffix in a keysym list spec (patch by
