47 - for the 17.5th anniversary, and because many distributions seem to
48 remove rxvt in favour of urxvt, this release resurrects rclock as
49 urclock.
50 - add support for systemd socket-based activation - debian bug #917105,
51 freebsd bug #234276.
52 - do not destruct perl on exit anymore: this might fail for a variety of
53 reasons, and takes unneccessary time.
54 - remove any macros from urxvtperl manpage(s), should fix debian
55 bug 858385.
56 - the old bg image resources are now provided by the background
57 extension, and perl is thus required for bg image support. No
58 configuration change is needed: urxvt autoloads the background
59 ext if any bg image resource/option is present (for OSC sequences to
60 work you need to enable it explicity). The old bg image
61 resources are also now deprecated; users are encouraged to
62 switch to the new bg image interface (see man urxvt-background).
63 - confirm-paste now checks for any ctlchars, not just newlines.
64 - searchable scrollback will now ignore bracketed paste mode sequences
65 (prompted by Daniel Gröber's patch).
66 - drop ISO 2022 locale support. ISO 2022 encodings are not supported in
67 POSIX locales and clash with vt100 charset emulation (the luit
68 program can be used as a substitute).
69 - perl didn't parse rgba colours specified as an array correctly,
70 only allowing 0 and 100% intensity for each component (this affected
71 fill and tint).
72 - when iterating over resources, urxvt will now try to properly handle
73 multipart resources (such as "*background.expr"), for the benefit
74 of autoloading perl extensions.
75 - ESC G (query rxvt graphics mode) has been disabled due to security
76 implications. The rxvt graphics mode was removed in rxvt-unicode 1.5,
77 and no programs relying on being able to query the mode are known.
78 - work around API change breakage in perl 5.28, based on a patch by
79 Roman Bogorodskiy.
80 - improved security: rob nation's (obsolete) graphics mode queries
81 no longer reply with linefeed in secure/default mode.
82 - ISO 8613-3 direct colour SGR sequences (patch by Fengguang Wu).
83 - xterm focus reporting mode (patch by Daniel Hahler).
84 - xterm SGR mouse mode.
85 - implement DECRQM. Patch by Přemysl Eric Janouch.
86 - add missing color index parameter to OSC 4 response. Patch
87 by Přemysl Eric Janouch.
88 - in some window managers, if smart resize was enabled, urxvt
89 erroneously moved the window on font change - awesome bug
90 #532, arch linux bug ##34807 (patch by Uli Schlachter).
91 - fix urxvtd crash when using a background expression.
92 - properly restore colors when using fading and reverse video
93 is enabled while urxvt is focused and then disabled while it
94 is not focused, or vice versa (patch by Daniel Hahler).
95 - fix high memory usage when an extension repeatedly hides and
96 shows an overlay (reported by Marcel Lautenbach).
97 - expose priv_modes member and constants to perl extensions
98 (patch by Rastislav Barlik).
99 - fix a whole slew of const sillyness, unfortunately forced upon
100 us by ISO C++.
101 - update to libecb 0x00010006.
102 - disable all thread support in ecb.h as we presumably don't need it.
103 - slightly improve Makefile source dependencies.
104 - work around bugs in newer Pod::Xhtml versions (flags incorrect formatting codes
105 in xhtml/html sections but does not interpret correct ones).
106
1079.22 Sat Jan 23 21:07:33 CET 2016
108 - NOTICE: this release updates terminfo.
109 - add terminfo capabilities for various ctrl and shift-ctrl key variants
110 (patch by Sebastian Schmidt).
111 - fix longstanding core font encoding bug where some character
112 ranges could not be mapped from unicode to the font: affected
113 encodings are big5, gb2312, iso8859-8 (hebrew), jis0201 and
114 ksc5601 (reported by Mikachu).
115 - fix crash when the number of columns is 1 and a 0 width character is inserted
116 (reported by Kuang-che Wu).
117 - fix a crash when parsing an invalid color specification (reported by Kuang-che Wu).
118 - fix a buffer overflow in font name parser (reported by Kuang-che Wu).
119 - do not start blinking cursor if the window is unfocused (reported by
120 Devin J. Pohly).
121 - change the width of underline and i-beam cursor to 2 pixels (based on
122 a patch by Omar Sandoval).
123 - add pointerShape resource to change the mouse pointer shape
124 (based on a patch by Brian Watson).
125 - a keysym resource for a key which is already bound to an
126 action now properly rebinds the key.
127 - do not report mouse motion events if Shift is active (patch by Daniel Hahler).
128 - put the alpha component last in responses to OSC color queries
129 (patch by Benjamin Herr).
130 - the key_press hook is now invoked before processing the
131 event, as documented. This change was done in 9.21 but not
132 announced and fixes debian bugs #511377, #531751 and red hat
133 bug #1105069. Note that this change breaks a few scripts,
134 such as mark-yank-urls, which rely on the previous buggy
135 behaviour that urxvt processes the event (in particular
136 keysym bindings) before invoking the hook.
137 - the tabbed extension now properly refreshes the active tab
138 on a key press when the mouse pointer is outside the terminal
139 window.
140 - add 'lookup_keysym' perl method to lookup the action bound
141 to a key combination.
142 - a key combination bound to 'matcher:select' can now be used
143 to cycle through the matches in matcher.
144 - change perl integer accessors (->width et al.) into mutators.
145
1469.21 Wed Dec 31 14:50:03 CET 2014
147 - the "moa redraw 8-bit british vintage colour management" release.
148 - NOTICE: this release updates terminfo.
149 - fix pixel droppings on overdraw when a secondary core font has the
150 same height but different ascent.
151 - implement cvvis in terminfo as blinking cursor, to distinguish it
152 from cnorm (emacs uses cvvis which is commonly a blinking cursor).
153 - when xft support was compiled in, colour queries erroneously returned
154 premultiplied values, this also affected internal queries, for example
155 when calculating faded colour. alpha is now divided out when possible,
156 which is more correct but loses colour resolution.
157 - add DECSCUSR xterm extension to set the cursor to a vertical bar.
158 - add 'extension:string' action, and associated on_action perl
159 hook, for keysym resources that invokes actions provided by
160 perl extensions. The 'perl:string' action and
161 on_user_command hook are deprecated but still supported.
162 - add 'builtin-string' action for keysym resources that restores string
163 mappings for keys that have predefined actions in urxvt.
164 - add -k option to urxvtc for killing the daemon process.
165 - document urxvtd's -e/--eval option that was implemented in 9.16,
166 but not documented.
167 - add -dockapp option to make the wm treat urxvt as a dockapp.
168 - add -mc option and multiClickTime resource to set the maximum time
169 between multi-click select events (patch by Joe Peterson).
170 - new 'eval' extension to evaluate arbitrary perl code with keysym
171 bindings. The extension also provides methods that implement basic
172 actions, such as pasting selections and scrolling.
173 - the macosx-clipboard and macosx-clipboard-native extensions have been removed.
174 - kuake extension now uses the kuake.hotkey resource to specify the hotkey.
175 - new 'matcher:select' mode of matcher to iterate over the matches with the keyboard.
176 - the 'matcher:list' feature of matcher now honours the launcher
177 associated to a matched pattern.
178 - speed-up matcher underlining on very long lines (reported by Edward Z. Yang).
179 - fix up/down commands of searchable-scrollback so that they always move
180 to the previous/next logical line with a match, if any.
181 - searchable-scrollback resource has been deprecated (use keysym instead).
182 - extension parameter passing is deprecated (use resource mechanism instead).
183 - upgrade to GPLv3 (see COPYING).
184 - compile out of the box on Solaris 10, again.
185 - fix height and position of the stippled area in next scrollbar (patch
186 by Thomas Otto).
187 - fix off-by-one bug causing the iso14755 window not to jump out of the
188 way properly.
189 - fix crash that may happen if a lib to which urxvt is linked to calls setenv.
190 - fix memory leak in special_{encode,decode} perl methods.
191 - fix refresh bug that occurs when reverse video is set on a cell
192 containing a space and with the same bg and fg colour, red hat bug
193 #830236.
194 - fix crash that may happen if an x error is received after a terminal
195 window/popup has been destroyed already.
196 - removed superfluous 0 digit from sgr terminfo sequence.
197 - greatly improve colour allocation on colour-starved pseudocolour
198 displays to avoid read-write cells instead of simply failing
199 (this is only relevant for antique 8bpp frame buffers).
200 - do not free fade colours when not doing fading (this is likely
201 only relevant for antique 8bpp frame buffers).
202 - do not specialcase 2 or 4 colour visuals, leading to
203 simpler and actually more correct code.
204 - hopefully no longer leak colours on !truecolour visuals.
205 - use consistent method names (scr_recolour => scr_recolor).
206 - use simpler (but slightly less bogus) formula for nearest
207 colour choice (this is likely only relevant for antique 8bpp
208 frame buffers).
209 - remove fallback behaviour when initialising colours - the
210 behaviour was inconsistent between startup vs. later and
211 was only effective when valid colours couldn't be allocated.
212
2139.20 Sat Apr 26 16:22:27 CEST 2014
214 - (libptytty) fix bug that prevented urxvtd from writing utmp
215 entries when using --fork (reported by Ryan Kavanagh).
216 - security bugfix: window property values could be queried even
217 in secure mode (reported by Conor McCarthy).
218 - fix build when perl is enabled and fading is disabled.
219 - fix regression that broke continuous scrolling when pressing
220 and holding the scrollbar up or down button, gentoo bug #493992.
221 - increase the maximum length of a command sequence to 32k bytes,
222 to allow longer OSC sequences (previous limit was 2k).
223 - new Ctrl-Meta-c and Ctrl-Meta-v bindings to interact with
224 the CLIPBOARD selection.
225 - new extension: selection-to-clipboard.
226 - the extensions macosx-clipboard and macosx-clipboard-native
227 are deprecated and will be removed in the next release.
228 Support for the clipboard on OS X can be more generally
229 enabled by setting the XQuartz preference to sync the OS X
230 pasteboard and the X11 clipboard.
231
2329.19 Sun Oct 27 17:16:07 CET 2013
233 - work around perl 5.18.0 breakage in tabbed extension
234 (reported by Karol Blazewicz) and in pod (Dominic Hargreaves).
235 - fix regression that caused the double-click word selection to
236 erroneously include a tab on the left of the selected word.
237 - implement FOCUS variable and focus_fade function in background
238 expression, to allow focus-sensitive background images.
239 - add support for the set cursor style (DECSCUSR) control
240 function.
241 - honour cursorColor also when the cursor style is underline.
242 - export some Color_xxx constants to Perl.
243
2449.18 Sun Mar 24 15:33:35 CET 2013
245 - fix regression that caused artifacts on resize.
246
2479.17 Fri Mar 1 13:46:08 CET 2013
248 - add shade operator in background perl extension.
249 - avoid starting or ending the selection in the middle of wide
250 characters to avoid artifacts (reported by Tiago Resende).
251 - fix artifacts that may occur if the character in the cursor
252 cell has width > 1 (reported by Tiago Resende).
253 - fix regression that causes artifacts on scrolling if
254 saveLines is 0 and the window is resized (reported by Bert
255 Münnich).
256 - fix build when perl is enabled and pixbuf and transparency
257 are disabled.
258
2599.16 Thu Dec 27 11:56:43 CET 2012
260 - the "so much new stuff your eyes will pop out" release.
261 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: renamed urlLauncher resource to url-launcher.
262 - fix processing of DEC private mode save sequences (patch by Patrick
263 Hemmer).
264 - perl extensions now have their own manpages, installed as urxvt-NAME(1),
265 e.g. urxvt-background(1) - see urxvt-extensions(1) for a list.
266 - fix disabling of cursor blink with the option-popup menu (based on a
267 patch by Jan Larres).
268 - the font height is not augmented anymore when lineSpace is non zero.
269 - fix "new pagemap" vs. "delete pagemap" mismatch ([] vs. non-[]),
270 as diagnosed by clang.
24 - fix height mismatch between active and inactive cursor when 271 - fix height mismatch between active and inactive cursor when
25 lineSpace is non zero (patch by Stanislav Seletskiy). 272 lineSpace is non zero (patch by Stanislav Seletskiy).
273 - make it compile with LOCAL_X_IS_UNIX again (reported by
274 nickfailure@gmail.com).
275 - completely redone background pixmap support - users can now
276 specify arbitrary expressions (And programs) that calculate
277 new terminal backgrounds. see the urxvt-background manpage
278 for details.
279 - xrender is now required for background pixmap support.
280 - perl extensions can now provide commandline switches and resources
281 which show up in -help etc.
282 - iso14755 51 mode window now displays row and column.
283 - implement a -visual switch and move that and -depth to frills, also
284 warn when we can't get the requested visual.
285 - new env variable: RXVT_PERL_LIB.
286 - allocate all screen memory in one go and let the virtual memory
287 subsystem sort it out. this simplifies code, improves access
288 locality, saves a bit of ram and makes things a bit faster, too.
289 - remove support for libafterimage.
290 - update to CVS version of libev, for a whopping 11kb size decrease.
291 - do not ship yet another copy of ecb.h, use the one in libev or
292 libptytty instead.
293 - selectively mark some methods as cache-hot/cache cold, which
294 might speed up execution but definitely decreases codesize.
295 - Fix regression that prevented the scrollbar trough color
296 from being applied (reported by Derek B. Noonburg).
297 - Fix the scrollbar size for rxvt style (patch by Mark Robinson).
