49 - Key bindings specified with the -keysym option or with resources of
50 the form URxvt*keysym work again. Such resources, as opposed to
51 resources of the form URxvt.keysym, were not officially allowed but
52 accepted, so ignoring them is considered a regression.
53 - new option/resource -rm/rewrapMode, which sets the line rewrap
54 mode to auto, never or always.
55 - new option/resource -dpb/disablePasteBrackets, which can be used to
56 disable bracketed paste mode sequences, as more and more programs
57 abuse these sequences (typically in the name of security, but these
58 sequences are not improving security). Also, bracketed paste mode
59 is now under frills.
60 - enable confirm-paste extension by default, can be disabled by e.g.
61 URxvt.perl-ext: -confirm-paste
62 - The view_start perl method now scrolls to the bottom also when the
63 argument is greater than 0.
64 - eval scroll actions now scroll to the bottom when scrolling down and
65 there are less lines to scroll than the ones requested (reported by
66 Stephen Talley).
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 - allow perl-ext and perl-ext-common to override autoloaded extensions.
87 this allows tabbed to disable itself in subtabs, avoiding recursive
88 loading.
89 - update precompose table to unicode 13.0.
90 - update charset conversion tables to perl 5.32 (this only affected
91 cs_koi8_u_from_unicode).
92 - unicode characters > 0x100000 were not handled correctly w.r.t.
93 font rendering.
94 - replace bitstream vera by dejavu sans, as it has replaced the former
95 almost everywhere.
96
979.26 Fri May 14 19:14:14 CEST 2021
98 - ev_iouring.c was wrongly required during compilation, and wrongly
99 not packaged.

1019.25 Fri May 14 15:51:36 CEST 2021
102 - for the 17.5th anniversary, and because many distributions seem to
103 remove rxvt in favour of urxvt, this release resurrects rclock as
104 urclock.
105 - add support for systemd socket-based activation - debian bug #917105,
106 freebsd bug #234276.
107 - do not destruct perl on exit anymore: this might fail for a variety of
108 reasons, and takes unnecessary time.
109 - remove any macros from urxvtperl manpage(s), should fix debian
110 bug 858385.
111 - the old bg image resources are now provided by the background
112 extension, and perl is thus required for bg image support. No
113 configuration change is needed: urxvt autoloads the background
114 ext if any bg image resource/option is present (for OSC sequences to
115 work you need to enable it explicitly). The old bg image
116 resources are also now deprecated; users are encouraged to
117 switch to the new bg image interface (see man urxvt-background).
118 - confirm-paste now checks for any ctlchars, not just newlines.
119 - searchable scrollback will now ignore bracketed paste mode sequences
120 (prompted by Daniel Gröber's patch).
121 - drop ISO 2022 locale support. ISO 2022 encodings are not supported in
122 POSIX locales and clash with vt100 charset emulation (the luit
123 program can be used as a substitute).
124 - perl didn't parse rgba colours specified as an array correctly,
125 only allowing 0 and 100% intensity for each component (this affected
126 fill and tint).
127 - when iterating over resources, urxvt will now try to properly handle
128 multipart resources (such as "*background.expr"), for the benefit
129 of autoloading perl extensions.
130 - ESC G (query rxvt graphics mode) has been disabled due to security
131 implications. The rxvt graphics mode was removed in rxvt-unicode 1.5,
132 and no programs relying on being able to query the mode are known.
133 - work around API change breakage in perl 5.28, based on a patch by
134 Roman Bogorodskiy.
135 - improved security: rob nation's (obsolete) graphics mode queries
136 no longer reply with linefeed in secure/default mode.
137 - ISO 8613-3 direct colour SGR sequences (patch by Fengguang Wu).
138 - xterm focus reporting mode (patch by Daniel Hahler).
139 - xterm SGR mouse mode.
140 - implement DECRQM. Patch by Přemysl Eric Janouch.
141 - add missing color index parameter to OSC 4 response. Patch
142 by Přemysl Eric Janouch.
143 - in some window managers, if smart resize was enabled, urxvt
144 erroneously moved the window on font change - awesome bug
145 #532, arch linux bug ##34807 (patch by Uli Schlachter).
146 - fix urxvtd crash when using a background expression.
147 - properly restore colors when using fading and reverse video
148 is enabled while urxvt is focused and then disabled while it
149 is not focused, or vice versa (patch by Daniel Hahler).
150 - fix high memory usage when an extension repeatedly hides and
151 shows an overlay (reported by Marcel Lautenbach).
152 - expose priv_modes member and constants to perl extensions
153 (patch by Rastislav Barlik).
154 - fix a whole slew of const sillyness, unfortunately forced upon
155 us by ISO C++.
156 - update to libecb 0x00010006.
157 - disable all thread support in ecb.h as we presumably don't need it.
158 - slightly improve Makefile source dependencies.
159 - work around bugs in newer Pod::Xhtml versions (flags incorrect formatting codes
160 in xhtml/html sections but does not interpret correct ones).
161
1629.22 Sat Jan 23 21:07:33 CET 2016
163 - NOTICE: this release updates terminfo.
164 - add terminfo capabilities for various ctrl and shift-ctrl key variants
165 (patch by Sebastian Schmidt).
166 - fix longstanding core font encoding bug where some character
167 ranges could not be mapped from unicode to the font: affected
168 encodings are big5, gb2312, iso8859-8 (hebrew), jis0201 and
169 ksc5601 (reported by Mikachu).
170 - fix crash when the number of columns is 1 and a 0 width character is inserted
171 (reported by Kuang-che Wu).
172 - fix a crash when parsing an invalid color specification (reported by Kuang-che Wu).
173 - fix a buffer overflow in font name parser (reported by Kuang-che Wu).
174 - do not start blinking cursor if the window is unfocused (reported by
175 Devin J. Pohly).
176 - change the width of underline and i-beam cursor to 2 pixels (based on
177 a patch by Omar Sandoval).
178 - add pointerShape resource to change the mouse pointer shape
179 (based on a patch by Brian Watson).
180 - a keysym resource for a key which is already bound to an
181 action now properly rebinds the key.
182 - do not report mouse motion events if Shift is active (patch by Daniel Hahler).
183 - put the alpha component last in responses to OSC color queries
184 (patch by Benjamin Herr).
185 - the key_press hook is now invoked before processing the
186 event, as documented. This change was done in 9.21 but not
187 announced and fixes debian bugs #511377, #531751 and red hat
188 bug #1105069. Note that this change breaks a few scripts,
189 such as mark-yank-urls, which rely on the previous buggy
190 behaviour that urxvt processes the event (in particular
191 keysym bindings) before invoking the hook.
192 - the tabbed extension now properly refreshes the active tab
193 on a key press when the mouse pointer is outside the terminal
194 window.
195 - add 'lookup_keysym' perl method to lookup the action bound
196 to a key combination.
197 - a key combination bound to 'matcher:select' can now be used
198 to cycle through the matches in matcher.
199 - change perl integer accessors (->width et al.) into mutators.
200
2019.21 Wed Dec 31 14:50:03 CET 2014
202 - the "moa redraw 8-bit british vintage colour management" release.
203 - NOTICE: this release updates terminfo.
204 - fix pixel droppings on overdraw when a secondary core font has the
205 same height but different ascent.
206 - implement cvvis in terminfo as blinking cursor, to distinguish it
207 from cnorm (emacs uses cvvis which is commonly a blinking cursor).
208 - when xft support was compiled in, colour queries erroneously returned
209 premultiplied values, this also affected internal queries, for example
210 when calculating faded colour. alpha is now divided out when possible,
211 which is more correct but loses colour resolution.
212 - add DECSCUSR xterm extension to set the cursor to a vertical bar.
213 - add 'extension:string' action, and associated on_action perl
214 hook, for keysym resources that invokes actions provided by
215 perl extensions. The 'perl:string' action and
216 on_user_command hook are deprecated but still supported.
217 - add 'builtin-string' action for keysym resources that restores string
218 mappings for keys that have predefined actions in urxvt.
219 - add -k option to urxvtc for killing the daemon process.
220 - document urxvtd's -e/--eval option that was implemented in 9.16,
221 but not documented.
222 - add -dockapp option to make the wm treat urxvt as a dockapp.
223 - add -mc option and multiClickTime resource to set the maximum time
224 between multi-click select events (patch by Joe Peterson).
225 - new 'eval' extension to evaluate arbitrary perl code with keysym
226 bindings. The extension also provides methods that implement basic
227 actions, such as pasting selections and scrolling.
228 - the macosx-clipboard and macosx-clipboard-native extensions have been removed.
229 - kuake extension now uses the kuake.hotkey resource to specify the hotkey.
230 - new 'matcher:select' mode of matcher to iterate over the matches with the keyboard.
231 - the 'matcher:list' feature of matcher now honours the launcher
232 associated to a matched pattern.
233 - speed-up matcher underlining on very long lines (reported by Edward Z. Yang).
234 - fix up/down commands of searchable-scrollback so that they always move
235 to the previous/next logical line with a match, if any.
236 - searchable-scrollback resource has been deprecated (use keysym instead).
237 - extension parameter passing is deprecated (use resource mechanism instead).
238 - upgrade to GPLv3 (see COPYING).
239 - compile out of the box on Solaris 10, again.
240 - fix height and position of the stippled area in next scrollbar (patch
241 by Thomas Otto).
242 - fix off-by-one bug causing the iso14755 window not to jump out of the
243 way properly.
244 - fix crash that may happen if a lib to which urxvt is linked to calls setenv.
245 - fix memory leak in special_{encode,decode} perl methods.
246 - fix refresh bug that occurs when reverse video is set on a cell
247 containing a space and with the same bg and fg colour, red hat bug
248 #830236.
249 - fix crash that may happen if an x error is received after a terminal
250 window/popup has been destroyed already.
251 - removed superfluous 0 digit from sgr terminfo sequence.
252 - greatly improve colour allocation on colour-starved pseudocolour
253 displays to avoid read-write cells instead of simply failing
254 (this is only relevant for antique 8bpp frame buffers).
255 - do not free fade colours when not doing fading (this is likely
256 only relevant for antique 8bpp frame buffers).
257 - do not specialcase 2 or 4 colour visuals, leading to
258 simpler and actually more correct code.
259 - hopefully no longer leak colours on !truecolour visuals.
260 - use consistent method names (scr_recolour => scr_recolor).
261 - use simpler (but slightly less bogus) formula for nearest
262 colour choice (this is likely only relevant for antique 8bpp
263 frame buffers).
264 - remove fallback behaviour when initialising colours - the
265 behaviour was inconsistent between startup vs. later and
266 was only effective when valid colours couldn't be allocated.
267
2689.20 Sat Apr 26 16:22:27 CEST 2014
36 - (libptytty) fix bug that prevented urxvtd from writing utmp 269 - (libptytty) fix bug that prevented urxvtd from writing utmp
37 entries when using --fork (reported by Ryan Kavanagh). 270 entries when using --fork (reported by Ryan Kavanagh).
38 - security bugfix: window property values could be queried even 271 - security bugfix: window property values could be queried even
39 in secure mode (reported by Phillip Hallam-Baker). 272 in secure mode (reported by Conor McCarthy).
40 - fix build when perl is enabled and fading is disabled. 273 - fix build when perl is enabled and fading is disabled.
41 - fix regression that broke continuous scrolling when pressing 274 - fix regression that broke continuous scrolling when pressing
42 and holding the scrollbar up or down button, gentoo bug #493992. 275 and holding the scrollbar up or down button, gentoo bug #493992.
43 - increase the maximum length of a command sequence to 32k bytes, 276 - increase the maximum length of a command sequence to 32k bytes,
44 to allow longer OSC sequences (previous limit was 2k). 277 to allow longer OSC sequences (previous limit was 2k).
