49TODO: rclock date overwrite
50 - libptytty is now an external dependency.
51 - enable confirm-paste extension by default, can be disabled by e.g.
52 URxvt.perl-ext: -confirm-paste
53 - Key bindings specified with the -keysym option or with resources of
54 the form URxvt*keysym work again. Such resources, as opposed to
55 resources of the form URxvt.keysym, were not officially allowed but
56 accepted, so ignoring them is considered a regression.
57 - new option/resource -rm/rewrapMode, which sets the line rewrap
58 mode to auto, never or always.
59 - new option/resource -dpb/disablePasteBrackets, which can be used to
60 disable bracketed paste mode sequences, as more and more programs
61 abuse these sequences (typically in the name of security, but these
62 sequences are not improving security). Also, bracketed paste mode
63 is now under frills.
64 - add manpage for urclock.
65 - confirm-paste wrongly considered brackets as ctrlchars (patch by
66 Jakub Wilk, debian bug #995244).
67 - if urxvt cannot detect a good estimate for font width (because a font does
68 not contain latin characters at all for example), it will now fall
69 back to xft's max_advance_width, which works well with some fonts. It
70 currently will warn about this.
71 - do not render variation selectors in the default font as boxes, treat
72 them as zero-width characters.
73 - change combining character architecture to allow fonts to handle
74 combining sequences on their own. This could allow future renderers
75 to be more intelligent about these sequences.
76 - use the previous enhancement to allow unicode characters outside of the
77 BMP to be rendered even without --enable-unicode3, as long as an
78 xft with the character is configured.
79 It's recommended to stay with disabled unicode3 even more now.
80 - freetype/xft have been verified to return nonsensical offsets for
81 combining characters. urxvt tries to compensate to some extent,
82 but diacritics will be slightly off in many cases, and far off in
83 some cases (e.g. input mono).
84 - when checking for overlap/careful handling, take non-basefont
85 character shifts into account.
86 - extensions can now request autoloading on OSC and Perl OSC sequences,
87 implement this for the background, clipboard-osc and overlay-osc
88 extensions.
89 - the background extension will now be autoloaded when the OSC 20 or 705
90 sequence is received.
91 - The view_start perl method now scrolls to the bottom also when the
92 argument is greater than 0.
93 - eval scroll actions now scroll to the bottom when scrolling down and
94 there are less lines to scroll than the ones requested (reported by
95 Stephen Talley).
96 - allow perl-ext and perl-ext-common to override autoloaded extensions.
97 this allows tabbed to disable itself in subtabs, avoiding recursive
98 loading.
99 - update precompose table to unicode 13.0.
100 - update charset conversion tables to perl 5.32 (this only affected
101 cs_koi8_u_from_unicode).
102 - unicode characters > 0x100000 were not handled correctly w.r.t.
103 font rendering.
104 - replace bitstream vera by dejavu sans, as it has replaced the former
105 almost everywhere.
106 - urxvt will now try tic -x first and only fall back to tic without -x
107 when tic -x fails.
108 - shave off over 1K of code size from urclock by replacing the sine table
109 with a slightly less accurate fixed point approximation.
110 - do not specify indentation with =over in pod, this is no longer
111 needed with semi-modern pod tools and gives the formatter more
112 stylistic freedom.
113 - background extension did not set the "size-sensitive" flag
114 when repeat mode wasn't normal.
115 - extensions are now subjected to "use strict 'subs'".
116 - avoid crashing when xft successfully opens a font but then somehow
117 can't lock the face.
118
1199.26 Fri May 14 19:14:14 CEST 2021
120 - ev_iouring.c was wrongly required during compilation, and wrongly
121 not packaged.
122
1239.25 Fri May 14 15:51:36 CEST 2021
124 - for the 17.5th anniversary, and because many distributions seem to
125 remove rxvt in favour of urxvt, this release resurrects rclock as
126 urclock.
127 - add support for systemd socket-based activation - debian bug #917105,
128 freebsd bug #234276.
129 - do not destruct perl on exit anymore: this might fail for a variety of
130 reasons, and takes unnecessary time.
131 - remove any macros from urxvtperl manpage(s), should fix debian
132 bug 858385.
133 - the old bg image resources are now provided by the background
134 extension, and perl is thus required for bg image support. No
135 configuration change is needed: urxvt autoloads the background
136 ext if any bg image resource/option is present (for OSC sequences to
137 work you need to enable it explicitly). The old bg image
138 resources are also now deprecated; users are encouraged to
139 switch to the new bg image interface (see man urxvt-background).
140 - confirm-paste now checks for any ctlchars, not just newlines.
141 - searchable scrollback will now ignore bracketed paste mode sequences
142 (prompted by Daniel Gröber's patch).
143 - drop ISO 2022 locale support. ISO 2022 encodings are not supported in
144 POSIX locales and clash with vt100 charset emulation (the luit
145 program can be used as a substitute).
146 - perl didn't parse rgba colours specified as an array correctly,
147 only allowing 0 and 100% intensity for each component (this affected
148 fill and tint).
149 - when iterating over resources, urxvt will now try to properly handle
150 multipart resources (such as "*background.expr"), for the benefit
151 of autoloading perl extensions.
152 - ESC G (query rxvt graphics mode) has been disabled due to security
153 implications. The rxvt graphics mode was removed in rxvt-unicode 1.5,
154 and no programs relying on being able to query the mode are known.
155 - work around API change breakage in perl 5.28, based on a patch by
156 Roman Bogorodskiy.
157 - improved security: rob nation's (obsolete) graphics mode queries
158 no longer reply with linefeed in secure/default mode.
159 - ISO 8613-3 direct colour SGR sequences (patch by Fengguang Wu).
160 - xterm focus reporting mode (patch by Daniel Hahler).
161 - xterm SGR mouse mode.
162 - implement DECRQM. Patch by Přemysl Eric Janouch.
163 - add missing color index parameter to OSC 4 response. Patch
164 by Přemysl Eric Janouch.
165 - in some window managers, if smart resize was enabled, urxvt
166 erroneously moved the window on font change - awesome bug
167 #532, arch linux bug ##34807 (patch by Uli Schlachter).
168 - fix urxvtd crash when using a background expression.
169 - properly restore colors when using fading and reverse video
170 is enabled while urxvt is focused and then disabled while it
171 is not focused, or vice versa (patch by Daniel Hahler).
172 - fix high memory usage when an extension repeatedly hides and
173 shows an overlay (reported by Marcel Lautenbach).
174 - expose priv_modes member and constants to perl extensions
175 (patch by Rastislav Barlik).
176 - fix a whole slew of const sillyness, unfortunately forced upon
177 us by ISO C++.
178 - update to libecb 0x00010006.
179 - disable all thread support in ecb.h as we presumably don't need it.
180 - slightly improve Makefile source dependencies.
181 - work around bugs in newer Pod::Xhtml versions (flags incorrect formatting codes
182 in xhtml/html sections but does not interpret correct ones).
183
1849.22 Sat Jan 23 21:07:33 CET 2016
185 - NOTICE: this release updates terminfo.
186 - add terminfo capabilities for various ctrl and shift-ctrl key variants
187 (patch by Sebastian Schmidt).
188 - fix longstanding core font encoding bug where some character
189 ranges could not be mapped from unicode to the font: affected
190 encodings are big5, gb2312, iso8859-8 (hebrew), jis0201 and
191 ksc5601 (reported by Mikachu).
192 - fix crash when the number of columns is 1 and a 0 width character is inserted
193 (reported by Kuang-che Wu).
194 - fix a crash when parsing an invalid color specification (reported by Kuang-che Wu).
195 - fix a buffer overflow in font name parser (reported by Kuang-che Wu).
196 - do not start blinking cursor if the window is unfocused (reported by
197 Devin J. Pohly).
198 - change the width of underline and i-beam cursor to 2 pixels (based on
199 a patch by Omar Sandoval).
200 - add pointerShape resource to change the mouse pointer shape
201 (based on a patch by Brian Watson).
202 - a keysym resource for a key which is already bound to an
203 action now properly rebinds the key.
204 - do not report mouse motion events if Shift is active (patch by Daniel Hahler).
205 - put the alpha component last in responses to OSC color queries
206 (patch by Benjamin Herr).
207 - the key_press hook is now invoked before processing the
208 event, as documented. This change was done in 9.21 but not
209 announced and fixes debian bugs #511377, #531751 and red hat
210 bug #1105069. Note that this change breaks a few scripts,
211 such as mark-yank-urls, which rely on the previous buggy
212 behaviour that urxvt processes the event (in particular
213 keysym bindings) before invoking the hook.
214 - the tabbed extension now properly refreshes the active tab
215 on a key press when the mouse pointer is outside the terminal
216 window.
217 - add 'lookup_keysym' perl method to lookup the action bound
218 to a key combination.
219 - a key combination bound to 'matcher:select' can now be used
220 to cycle through the matches in matcher.
221 - change perl integer accessors (->width et al.) into mutators.
222
2239.21 Wed Dec 31 14:50:03 CET 2014
224 - the "moa redraw 8-bit british vintage colour management" release.
225 - NOTICE: this release updates terminfo.
226 - fix pixel droppings on overdraw when a secondary core font has the
227 same height but different ascent.
228 - implement cvvis in terminfo as blinking cursor, to distinguish it
229 from cnorm (emacs uses cvvis which is commonly a blinking cursor).
230 - when xft support was compiled in, colour queries erroneously returned
231 premultiplied values, this also affected internal queries, for example
232 when calculating faded colour. alpha is now divided out when possible,
233 which is more correct but loses colour resolution.
234 - add DECSCUSR xterm extension to set the cursor to a vertical bar.
235 - add 'extension:string' action, and associated on_action perl
236 hook, for keysym resources that invokes actions provided by
237 perl extensions. The 'perl:string' action and
238 on_user_command hook are deprecated but still supported.
239 - add 'builtin-string' action for keysym resources that restores string
240 mappings for keys that have predefined actions in urxvt.
241 - add -k option to urxvtc for killing the daemon process.
242 - document urxvtd's -e/--eval option that was implemented in 9.16,
243 but not documented.
244 - add -dockapp option to make the wm treat urxvt as a dockapp.
245 - add -mc option and multiClickTime resource to set the maximum time
246 between multi-click select events (patch by Joe Peterson).
247 - new 'eval' extension to evaluate arbitrary perl code with keysym
248 bindings. The extension also provides methods that implement basic
249 actions, such as pasting selections and scrolling.
250 - the macosx-clipboard and macosx-clipboard-native extensions have been removed.
251 - kuake extension now uses the kuake.hotkey resource to specify the hotkey.
252 - new 'matcher:select' mode of matcher to iterate over the matches with the keyboard.
253 - the 'matcher:list' feature of matcher now honours the launcher
254 associated to a matched pattern.
255 - speed-up matcher underlining on very long lines (reported by Edward Z. Yang).
256 - fix up/down commands of searchable-scrollback so that they always move
257 to the previous/next logical line with a match, if any.
258 - searchable-scrollback resource has been deprecated (use keysym instead).
259 - extension parameter passing is deprecated (use resource mechanism instead).
260 - upgrade to GPLv3 (see COPYING).
261 - compile out of the box on Solaris 10, again.
262 - fix height and position of the stippled area in next scrollbar (patch
263 by Thomas Otto).
264 - fix off-by-one bug causing the iso14755 window not to jump out of the
265 way properly.
266 - fix crash that may happen if a lib to which urxvt is linked to calls setenv.
267 - fix memory leak in special_{encode,decode} perl methods.
268 - fix refresh bug that occurs when reverse video is set on a cell
269 containing a space and with the same bg and fg colour, red hat bug
270 #830236.
271 - fix crash that may happen if an x error is received after a terminal
272 window/popup has been destroyed already.
273 - removed superfluous 0 digit from sgr terminfo sequence.
274 - greatly improve colour allocation on colour-starved pseudocolour
275 displays to avoid read-write cells instead of simply failing
276 (this is only relevant for antique 8bpp frame buffers).
277 - do not free fade colours when not doing fading (this is likely
278 only relevant for antique 8bpp frame buffers).
279 - do not specialcase 2 or 4 colour visuals, leading to
280 simpler and actually more correct code.
281 - hopefully no longer leak colours on !truecolour visuals.
282 - use consistent method names (scr_recolour => scr_recolor).
283 - use simpler (but slightly less bogus) formula for nearest
284 colour choice (this is likely only relevant for antique 8bpp
285 frame buffers).
286 - remove fallback behaviour when initialising colours - the
287 behaviour was inconsistent between startup vs. later and
288 was only effective when valid colours couldn't be allocated.
289
2909.20 Sat Apr 26 16:22:27 CEST 2014
291 - (libptytty) fix bug that prevented urxvtd from writing utmp
292 entries when using --fork (reported by Ryan Kavanagh).
293 - security bugfix: window property values could be queried even
294 in secure mode (reported by Conor McCarthy).
295 - fix build when perl is enabled and fading is disabled.
296 - fix regression that broke continuous scrolling when pressing
297 and holding the scrollbar up or down button, gentoo bug #493992.
298 - increase the maximum length of a command sequence to 32k bytes,
299 to allow longer OSC sequences (previous limit was 2k).
300 - new Ctrl-Meta-c and Ctrl-Meta-v bindings to interact with
301 the CLIPBOARD selection.
302 - new extension: selection-to-clipboard.
303 - the extensions macosx-clipboard and macosx-clipboard-native
304 are deprecated and will be removed in the next release.
305 Support for the clipboard on OS X can be more generally
306 enabled by setting the XQuartz preference to sync the OS X
307 pasteboard and the X11 clipboard.
308
3099.19 Sun Oct 27 17:16:07 CET 2013
310 - work around perl 5.18.0 breakage in tabbed extension
311 (reported by Karol Blazewicz) and in pod (Dominic Hargreaves).
312 - fix regression that caused the double-click word selection to
313 erroneously include a tab on the left of the selected word.
314 - implement FOCUS variable and focus_fade function in background
315 expression, to allow focus-sensitive background images.
316 - add support for the set cursor style (DECSCUSR) control
317 function.
318 - honour cursorColor also when the cursor style is underline.
319 - export some Color_xxx constants to Perl.
320
3219.18 Sun Mar 24 15:33:35 CET 2013

326 - avoid starting or ending the selection in the middle of wide
327 characters to avoid artifacts (reported by Tiago Resende).
328 - fix artifacts that may occur if the character in the cursor
329 cell has width > 1 (reported by Tiago Resende).
330 - fix regression that causes artifacts on scrolling if
331 saveLines is 0 and the window is resized (reported by Bert
332 Münnich).
333 - fix build when perl is enabled and pixbuf and transparency
334 are disabled.
335
3369.16 Thu Dec 27 11:56:43 CET 2012
337 - the "so much new stuff your eyes will pop out" release.
338 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: renamed urlLauncher resource to url-launcher.
28 - fix processing of DEC private mode save sequences (patch by Patrick 339 - fix processing of DEC private mode save sequences (patch by Patrick
29 Hemmer). 340 Hemmer).
341 - perl extensions now have their own manpages, installed as urxvt-NAME(1),
342 e.g. urxvt-background(1) - see urxvt-extensions(1) for a list.
30 - fix disabling of cursor blink with the option-popup menu (based on a 343 - fix disabling of cursor blink with the option-popup menu (based on a

38 nickfailure@gmail.com). 351 nickfailure@gmail.com).
352 - completely redone background pixmap support - users can now
353 specify arbitrary expressions (And programs) that calculate
354 new terminal backgrounds. see the urxvt-background manpage
355 for details.
356 - xrender is now required for background pixmap support.
357 - perl extensions can now provide commandline switches and resources
358 which show up in -help etc.
359 - iso14755 51 mode window now displays row and column.
360 - implement a -visual switch and move that and -depth to frills, also
361 warn when we can't get the requested visual.
362 - new env variable: RXVT_PERL_LIB.
363 - allocate all screen memory in one go and let the virtual memory

368 - do not ship yet another copy of ecb.h, use the one in libev or
369 libptytty instead.
370 - selectively mark some methods as cache-hot/cache cold, which
371 might speed up execution but definitely decreases codesize.
