47 - allow perl-ext and perl-ext-common to override autoloaded extensions.
48 this allows tabbed to disable itself in subtabs, avoiding recursive
49 loading.
50
519.26 Fri May 14 19:14:14 CEST 2021
52 - ev_iouring.c was wrongly required during compilation, and wrongly
53 not packaged.
54
559.25 Fri May 14 15:51:36 CEST 2021
56 - for the 17.5th anniversary, and because many distributions seem to
57 remove rxvt in favour of urxvt, this release resurrects rclock as
58 urclock.
59 - add support for systemd socket-based activation - debian bug #917105,
60 freebsd bug #234276.
61 - do not destruct perl on exit anymore: this might fail for a variety of
62 reasons, and takes unneccessary time.
63 - remove any macros from urxvtperl manpage(s), should fix debian
64 bug 858385.
65 - the old bg image resources are now provided by the background
66 extension, and perl is thus required for bg image support. No
67 configuration change is needed: urxvt autoloads the background
68 ext if any bg image resource/option is present (for OSC sequences to
69 work you need to enable it explicitly). The old bg image
70 resources are also now deprecated; users are encouraged to
71 switch to the new bg image interface (see man urxvt-background).
72 - confirm-paste now checks for any ctlchars, not just newlines.
73 - searchable scrollback will now ignore bracketed paste mode sequences
74 (prompted by Daniel Gröber's patch).
75 - drop ISO 2022 locale support. ISO 2022 encodings are not supported in
76 POSIX locales and clash with vt100 charset emulation (the luit
77 program can be used as a substitute).
78 - perl didn't parse rgba colours specified as an array correctly,
79 only allowing 0 and 100% intensity for each component (this affected
80 fill and tint).
81 - when iterating over resources, urxvt will now try to properly handle
82 multipart resources (such as "*background.expr"), for the benefit
83 of autoloading perl extensions.
84 - ESC G (query rxvt graphics mode) has been disabled due to security
85 implications. The rxvt graphics mode was removed in rxvt-unicode 1.5,
86 and no programs relying on being able to query the mode are known.
87 - work around API change breakage in perl 5.28, based on a patch by
88 Roman Bogorodskiy.
89 - improved security: rob nation's (obsolete) graphics mode queries
90 no longer reply with linefeed in secure/default mode.
91 - ISO 8613-3 direct colour SGR sequences (patch by Fengguang Wu).
92 - xterm focus reporting mode (patch by Daniel Hahler).
93 - xterm SGR mouse mode.
94 - implement DECRQM. Patch by Přemysl Eric Janouch.
95 - add missing color index parameter to OSC 4 response. Patch
96 by Přemysl Eric Janouch.
97 - in some window managers, if smart resize was enabled, urxvt
98 erroneously moved the window on font change - awesome bug
99 #532, arch linux bug ##34807 (patch by Uli Schlachter).
100 - fix urxvtd crash when using a background expression.
101 - properly restore colors when using fading and reverse video
102 is enabled while urxvt is focused and then disabled while it
103 is not focused, or vice versa (patch by Daniel Hahler).
104 - fix high memory usage when an extension repeatedly hides and
105 shows an overlay (reported by Marcel Lautenbach).
106 - expose priv_modes member and constants to perl extensions
107 (patch by Rastislav Barlik).
108 - fix a whole slew of const sillyness, unfortunately forced upon
109 us by ISO C++.
110 - update to libecb 0x00010006.
111 - disable all thread support in ecb.h as we presumably don't need it.
112 - slightly improve Makefile source dependencies.
113 - work around bugs in newer Pod::Xhtml versions (flags incorrect formatting codes
114 in xhtml/html sections but does not interpret correct ones).
115
1169.22 Sat Jan 23 21:07:33 CET 2016
117 - NOTICE: this release updates terminfo.
118 - add terminfo capabilities for various ctrl and shift-ctrl key variants
119 (patch by Sebastian Schmidt).
120 - fix longstanding core font encoding bug where some character
121 ranges could not be mapped from unicode to the font: affected
122 encodings are big5, gb2312, iso8859-8 (hebrew), jis0201 and
123 ksc5601 (reported by Mikachu).
124 - fix crash when the number of columns is 1 and a 0 width character is inserted
125 (reported by Kuang-che Wu).
126 - fix a crash when parsing an invalid color specification (reported by Kuang-che Wu).
127 - fix a buffer overflow in font name parser (reported by Kuang-che Wu).
128 - do not start blinking cursor if the window is unfocused (reported by
129 Devin J. Pohly).
130 - change the width of underline and i-beam cursor to 2 pixels (based on
131 a patch by Omar Sandoval).
132 - add pointerShape resource to change the mouse pointer shape
133 (based on a patch by Brian Watson).
134 - a keysym resource for a key which is already bound to an
135 action now properly rebinds the key.
136 - do not report mouse motion events if Shift is active (patch by Daniel Hahler).
137 - put the alpha component last in responses to OSC color queries
138 (patch by Benjamin Herr).
139 - the key_press hook is now invoked before processing the
140 event, as documented. This change was done in 9.21 but not
141 announced and fixes debian bugs #511377, #531751 and red hat
142 bug #1105069. Note that this change breaks a few scripts,
143 such as mark-yank-urls, which rely on the previous buggy
144 behaviour that urxvt processes the event (in particular
145 keysym bindings) before invoking the hook.
146 - the tabbed extension now properly refreshes the active tab
147 on a key press when the mouse pointer is outside the terminal
148 window.
149 - add 'lookup_keysym' perl method to lookup the action bound
150 to a key combination.
151 - a key combination bound to 'matcher:select' can now be used
152 to cycle through the matches in matcher.
153 - change perl integer accessors (->width et al.) into mutators.
154
1559.21 Wed Dec 31 14:50:03 CET 2014
156 - the "moa redraw 8-bit british vintage colour management" release.
157 - NOTICE: this release updates terminfo.
158 - fix pixel droppings on overdraw when a secondary core font has the
159 same height but different ascent.
160 - implement cvvis in terminfo as blinking cursor, to distinguish it
161 from cnorm (emacs uses cvvis which is commonly a blinking cursor).
162 - when xft support was compiled in, colour queries erroneously returned
163 premultiplied values, this also affected internal queries, for example
164 when calculating faded colour. alpha is now divided out when possible,
165 which is more correct but loses colour resolution.
166 - add DECSCUSR xterm extension to set the cursor to a vertical bar.
167 - add 'extension:string' action, and associated on_action perl
168 hook, for keysym resources that invokes actions provided by
169 perl extensions. The 'perl:string' action and
170 on_user_command hook are deprecated but still supported.
171 - add 'builtin-string' action for keysym resources that restores string
172 mappings for keys that have predefined actions in urxvt.
173 - add -k option to urxvtc for killing the daemon process.
174 - document urxvtd's -e/--eval option that was implemented in 9.16,
175 but not documented.
176 - add -dockapp option to make the wm treat urxvt as a dockapp.
177 - add -mc option and multiClickTime resource to set the maximum time
178 between multi-click select events (patch by Joe Peterson).
179 - new 'eval' extension to evaluate arbitrary perl code with keysym
180 bindings. The extension also provides methods that implement basic
181 actions, such as pasting selections and scrolling.
182 - the macosx-clipboard and macosx-clipboard-native extensions have been removed.
183 - kuake extension now uses the kuake.hotkey resource to specify the hotkey.
184 - new 'matcher:select' mode of matcher to iterate over the matches with the keyboard.
185 - the 'matcher:list' feature of matcher now honours the launcher
186 associated to a matched pattern.
187 - speed-up matcher underlining on very long lines (reported by Edward Z. Yang).
188 - fix up/down commands of searchable-scrollback so that they always move
189 to the previous/next logical line with a match, if any.
190 - searchable-scrollback resource has been deprecated (use keysym instead).
191 - extension parameter passing is deprecated (use resource mechanism instead).
192 - upgrade to GPLv3 (see COPYING).
193 - compile out of the box on Solaris 10, again.
194 - fix height and position of the stippled area in next scrollbar (patch
195 by Thomas Otto).
196 - fix off-by-one bug causing the iso14755 window not to jump out of the
197 way properly.
198 - fix crash that may happen if a lib to which urxvt is linked to calls setenv.
199 - fix memory leak in special_{encode,decode} perl methods.
200 - fix refresh bug that occurs when reverse video is set on a cell
201 containing a space and with the same bg and fg colour, red hat bug
202 #830236.
203 - fix crash that may happen if an x error is received after a terminal
204 window/popup has been destroyed already.
205 - removed superfluous 0 digit from sgr terminfo sequence.
206 - greatly improve colour allocation on colour-starved pseudocolour
207 displays to avoid read-write cells instead of simply failing
208 (this is only relevant for antique 8bpp frame buffers).
209 - do not free fade colours when not doing fading (this is likely
210 only relevant for antique 8bpp frame buffers).
211 - do not specialcase 2 or 4 colour visuals, leading to
212 simpler and actually more correct code.
213 - hopefully no longer leak colours on !truecolour visuals.
214 - use consistent method names (scr_recolour => scr_recolor).
215 - use simpler (but slightly less bogus) formula for nearest
216 colour choice (this is likely only relevant for antique 8bpp
217 frame buffers).
218 - remove fallback behaviour when initialising colours - the
219 behaviour was inconsistent between startup vs. later and
220 was only effective when valid colours couldn't be allocated.
221
2229.20 Sat Apr 26 16:22:27 CEST 2014
223 - (libptytty) fix bug that prevented urxvtd from writing utmp
224 entries when using --fork (reported by Ryan Kavanagh).
225 - security bugfix: window property values could be queried even
226 in secure mode (reported by Conor McCarthy).
227 - fix build when perl is enabled and fading is disabled.
228 - fix regression that broke continuous scrolling when pressing
229 and holding the scrollbar up or down button, gentoo bug #493992.
230 - increase the maximum length of a command sequence to 32k bytes,
231 to allow longer OSC sequences (previous limit was 2k).
232 - new Ctrl-Meta-c and Ctrl-Meta-v bindings to interact with
233 the CLIPBOARD selection.
234 - new extension: selection-to-clipboard.
235 - the extensions macosx-clipboard and macosx-clipboard-native
236 are deprecated and will be removed in the next release.
237 Support for the clipboard on OS X can be more generally
238 enabled by setting the XQuartz preference to sync the OS X
239 pasteboard and the X11 clipboard.
240
2419.19 Sun Oct 27 17:16:07 CET 2013
242 - work around perl 5.18.0 breakage in tabbed extension
243 (reported by Karol Blazewicz) and in pod (Dominic Hargreaves).
244 - fix regression that caused the double-click word selection to
245 erroneously include a tab on the left of the selected word.
246 - implement FOCUS variable and focus_fade function in background
247 expression, to allow focus-sensitive background images.
248 - add support for the set cursor style (DECSCUSR) control
249 function.
250 - honour cursorColor also when the cursor style is underline.
251 - export some Color_xxx constants to Perl.
252
2539.18 Sun Mar 24 15:33:35 CET 2013

258 - avoid starting or ending the selection in the middle of wide
259 characters to avoid artifacts (reported by Tiago Resende).
260 - fix artifacts that may occur if the character in the cursor
261 cell has width > 1 (reported by Tiago Resende).
262 - fix regression that causes artifacts on scrolling if
263 saveLines is 0 and the window is resized (reported by Bert
264 Münnich).
265 - fix build when perl is enabled and pixbuf and transparency
266 are disabled.
267
