54TODO:
5503:32:26 <BlueFish> Hi. I think I found a bug in special_encode in rxvtperl.xs
5603:33:37 <BlueFish> special_encode('لا') or any other string that contains 'لا' returns a disturbed string
5703:33:40 <schmorp> hi BlueFish
5803:34:10 <schmorp> whats a disturbed string?
5903:34:25 <BlueFish> for example سلام becomes ملام
6003:35:05 <BlueFish> see this issue: https://github.com/mkamensky/Text-Bidi/issues/10 I was trying to fix it
61 and after playing around for a while found out that special_encode is causing the problem
6203:35:36 <schmorp> does this happen when you compile without --enable-combining (or with --disable-combining)?
6303:37:40 <BlueFish> I don't know the one that I installed from my distro repository has this flag or not. Is
64 there anyway to check?
6503:38:49 <schmorp> rxvt --help will output a options: line at the top, whioch will list "combining"
6603:39:10 <schmorp> anyway, I don't think i will understand this at my current tiredness level, I'll have a
67 look when I have time
6803:39:26 <schmorp> are you usually around on this network, so I coulöd ask you in cas eI have questions?
6903:40:25 <BlueFish> yes combining is enabled. No I don't check IRC that much. You can reach me via email
7003:40:44 <schmorp> ok, thats fine

73 - implement a fix for CVE-2022-4170 (reported and analyzed by David Leadbeater).
74 While present in version 9.30, it should not be exploitable. It is exploitable
75 in versions 9.25 and 9.26, at least, and allows anybody controlling terminal
76 input to execute arbitrary code in the urxvt process.
77 - the background extension no longer requires off focus fading support
78 to be compiled in.
79 - fix compiling without frills.
80 - fix rewrapMode: never.
81 - fix regression that caused urxvt to no longer emit responses
82 to OSC color queries other than OSC 4 ones.
83 - fix regression that caused urxvt to no longer process OSC 705.
84 - exec_async (used e.g. by the matcher extension to spawn processes) now
85 sets the URXVT_EXT_WINDOWID variable to the window id opf the terminal.
86
879.30 Sat 27 Nov 2021 21:07:09 CET
88 - the background extension did not initialise properly when automatically
89 loaded via the OSC.
90 - new "on_attach" hook type implemented, to initialise late-loading
91 extensions.
92
939.29 Mon 22 Nov 2021 18:07:14 CET
94 - libptytty (http://dist.schmorp.de/libptytty/) is now a required
95 external dependency.
96 - enable confirm-paste extension by default, can be disabled by e.g.
97 URxvt.perl-ext: -confirm-paste
98 - Key bindings specified with the -keysym option or with resources of
99 the form URxvt*keysym work again. Such resources, as opposed to
100 resources of the form URxvt.keysym, were not officially allowed but
101 accepted, so ignoring them is considered a regression.
102 - new option/resource -rm/rewrapMode, which sets the line rewrap
103 mode to auto, never or always.
104 - new option/resource -dpb/disablePasteBrackets, which can be used to
105 disable bracketed paste mode sequences, as more and more programs
106 abuse these sequences (typically in the name of security, but these
107 sequences are not improving security). Also, bracketed paste mode
108 is now under frills.
109 - add manpage for urclock.
110 - confirm-paste wrongly considered brackets as ctrlchars (patch by
111 Jakub Wilk, debian bug #995244).
112 - if urxvt cannot detect a good estimate for font width (because a font does
113 not contain latin characters at all for example), it will now fall
114 back to xft's max_advance_width, which works well with some fonts. It
115 currently will warn about this.
116 - do not render variation selectors in the default font as boxes, treat
117 them as zero-width characters.
118 - change combining character architecture to allow fonts to handle
119 combining sequences on their own. This could allow future renderers
120 to be more intelligent about these sequences.
121 - use the previous enhancement to allow unicode characters outside of the
122 BMP to be rendered even without --enable-unicode3, as long as an
123 xft with the character is configured.
124 It's recommended to stay with disabled unicode3 even more now.
125 - freetype/xft have been verified to return nonsensical offsets for
126 combining characters. urxvt tries to compensate to some extent,
127 but diacritics will be slightly off in many cases, and far off in
128 some cases (e.g. input mono).
129 - when checking for overlap/careful handling, take non-basefont
130 character shifts into account.
131 - extensions can now request autoloading on OSC and Perl OSC sequences,
132 implement this for the background, clipboard-osc and overlay-osc
133 extensions.
134 - the background extension will now be autoloaded when the OSC 20 or 705
135 sequence is received.
136 - added OSC 776 sequence to return character cell width, height and font
137 ascent, which is useful when using urxvt as slave to calculate window
138 size form or to row/column count.
139 - matcher extension documentation now points out some requirements for
140 regular expressions. the default url matching regex will now try
141 to match IRLs in addition to URLs.
142 - The view_start perl method now scrolls to the bottom also when the
143 argument is greater than 0.
144 - eval scroll actions now scroll to the bottom when scrolling down and
145 there are less lines to scroll than the ones requested (reported by
146 Stephen Talley).
147 - allow perl-ext and perl-ext-common to override autoloaded extensions.
148 this allows tabbed to disable itself in subtabs, avoiding recursive
149 loading.
150 - update precompose table to unicode 13.0.
151 - update charset conversion tables to perl 5.32 (this only affected
152 cs_koi8_u_from_unicode).
153 - unicode characters > 0x100000 were not handled correctly w.r.t.
154 font rendering.
155 - replace bitstream vera by dejavu sans, as it has replaced the former
156 almost everywhere.
157 - urxvt will now try tic -x first and only fall back to tic without -x
158 when tic -x fails.
159 - fix urclock not erasing the old date on the clock face, causing
160 overdraw, plus a host of other small fixes and improvements.
161 - shave off over 1K of code size from urclock by replacing the sine table
162 with a slightly less accurate fixed point approximation.
163 - do not specify indentation with =over in pod, this is no longer
164 needed with semi-modern pod tools and gives the formatter more
165 stylistic freedom.
166 - background extension did not set the "size-sensitive" flag
167 when repeat mode wasn't normal.
168 - extensions are now subjected to "use strict 'subs'".
169 - avoid crashing when xft successfully opens a font but then somehow
170 can't lock the face.
171 - locale_decode/encode api methods now pass through undef unchanged.
172 - fix undefined behaviour in the perl hook function, as diagnosed by clang.
173
1749.26 Fri May 14 19:14:14 CEST 2021
175 - ev_iouring.c was wrongly required during compilation, and wrongly
176 not packaged.
177
1789.25 Fri May 14 15:51:36 CEST 2021
179 - for the 17.5th anniversary, and because many distributions seem to
180 remove rxvt in favour of urxvt, this release resurrects rclock as
181 urclock.
182 - add support for systemd socket-based activation - debian bug #917105,
183 freebsd bug #234276.
184 - do not destruct perl on exit anymore: this might fail for a variety of
185 reasons, and takes unnecessary time.
186 - remove any macros from urxvtperl manpage(s), should fix debian
187 bug 858385.
188 - the old bg image resources are now provided by the background
189 extension, and perl is thus required for bg image support. No
190 configuration change is needed: urxvt autoloads the background
191 ext if any bg image resource/option is present (for OSC sequences to
192 work you need to enable it explicitly). The old bg image
193 resources are also now deprecated; users are encouraged to
194 switch to the new bg image interface (see man urxvt-background).
195 - confirm-paste now checks for any ctlchars, not just newlines.
196 - searchable scrollback will now ignore bracketed paste mode sequences
197 (prompted by Daniel Gröber's patch).
198 - drop ISO 2022 locale support. ISO 2022 encodings are not supported in
199 POSIX locales and clash with vt100 charset emulation (the luit
200 program can be used as a substitute).
201 - perl didn't parse rgba colours specified as an array correctly,
202 only allowing 0 and 100% intensity for each component (this affected
203 fill and tint).
204 - when iterating over resources, urxvt will now try to properly handle
205 multipart resources (such as "*background.expr"), for the benefit
206 of autoloading perl extensions.
207 - ESC G (query rxvt graphics mode) has been disabled due to security
208 implications. The rxvt graphics mode was removed in rxvt-unicode 1.5,
209 and no programs relying on being able to query the mode are known.
210 - work around API change breakage in perl 5.28, based on a patch by
211 Roman Bogorodskiy.
212 - improved security: rob nation's (obsolete) graphics mode queries
213 no longer reply with linefeed in secure/default mode.
214 - ISO 8613-3 direct colour SGR sequences (patch by Fengguang Wu).
215 - xterm focus reporting mode (patch by Daniel Hahler).
216 - xterm SGR mouse mode.
217 - implement DECRQM. Patch by Přemysl Eric Janouch.
218 - add missing color index parameter to OSC 4 response. Patch
219 by Přemysl Eric Janouch.
220 - in some window managers, if smart resize was enabled, urxvt
221 erroneously moved the window on font change - awesome bug
222 #532, arch linux bug ##34807 (patch by Uli Schlachter).
223 - fix urxvtd crash when using a background expression.
224 - properly restore colors when using fading and reverse video
225 is enabled while urxvt is focused and then disabled while it
226 is not focused, or vice versa (patch by Daniel Hahler).
227 - fix high memory usage when an extension repeatedly hides and
228 shows an overlay (reported by Marcel Lautenbach).
229 - expose priv_modes member and constants to perl extensions
230 (patch by Rastislav Barlik).
231 - fix a whole slew of const sillyness, unfortunately forced upon
232 us by ISO C++.
233 - update to libecb 0x00010006.
234 - disable all thread support in ecb.h as we presumably don't need it.
235 - slightly improve Makefile source dependencies.
236 - work around bugs in newer Pod::Xhtml versions (flags incorrect formatting codes
237 in xhtml/html sections but does not interpret correct ones).
238
2399.22 Sat Jan 23 21:07:33 CET 2016
240 - NOTICE: this release updates terminfo.
241 - add terminfo capabilities for various ctrl and shift-ctrl key variants
242 (patch by Sebastian Schmidt).
243 - fix longstanding core font encoding bug where some character
244 ranges could not be mapped from unicode to the font: affected
245 encodings are big5, gb2312, iso8859-8 (hebrew), jis0201 and
246 ksc5601 (reported by Mikachu).
247 - fix crash when the number of columns is 1 and a 0 width character is inserted
248 (reported by Kuang-che Wu).
249 - fix a crash when parsing an invalid color specification (reported by Kuang-che Wu).
250 - fix a buffer overflow in font name parser (reported by Kuang-che Wu).
251 - do not start blinking cursor if the window is unfocused (reported by
252 Devin J. Pohly).
253 - change the width of underline and i-beam cursor to 2 pixels (based on
254 a patch by Omar Sandoval).
255 - add pointerShape resource to change the mouse pointer shape
256 (based on a patch by Brian Watson).
257 - a keysym resource for a key which is already bound to an
258 action now properly rebinds the key.
259 - do not report mouse motion events if Shift is active (patch by Daniel Hahler).
260 - put the alpha component last in responses to OSC color queries
261 (patch by Benjamin Herr).
262 - the key_press hook is now invoked before processing the
263 event, as documented. This change was done in 9.21 but not
264 announced and fixes debian bugs #511377, #531751 and red hat
265 bug #1105069. Note that this change breaks a few scripts,
266 such as mark-yank-urls, which rely on the previous buggy
267 behaviour that urxvt processes the event (in particular
268 keysym bindings) before invoking the hook.
269 - the tabbed extension now properly refreshes the active tab
270 on a key press when the mouse pointer is outside the terminal
271 window.
272 - add 'lookup_keysym' perl method to lookup the action bound
273 to a key combination.
274 - a key combination bound to 'matcher:select' can now be used
275 to cycle through the matches in matcher.
276 - change perl integer accessors (->width et al.) into mutators.
277 - this version has ben verified to work with perl 5.8.3.
278
2799.21 Wed Dec 31 14:50:03 CET 2014
280 - the "moa redraw 8-bit british vintage colour management" release.
281 - NOTICE: this release updates terminfo.
282 - fix pixel droppings on overdraw when a secondary core font has the
283 same height but different ascent.
284 - implement cvvis in terminfo as blinking cursor, to distinguish it
285 from cnorm (emacs uses cvvis which is commonly a blinking cursor).
286 - when xft support was compiled in, colour queries erroneously returned
287 premultiplied values, this also affected internal queries, for example
288 when calculating faded colour. alpha is now divided out when possible,
289 which is more correct but loses colour resolution.
290 - add DECSCUSR xterm extension to set the cursor to a vertical bar.
291 - add 'extension:string' action, and associated on_action perl
292 hook, for keysym resources that invokes actions provided by
293 perl extensions. The 'perl:string' action and
294 on_user_command hook are deprecated but still supported.
295 - add 'builtin-string' action for keysym resources that restores string
296 mappings for keys that have predefined actions in urxvt.
297 - add -k option to urxvtc for killing the daemon process.
298 - document urxvtd's -e/--eval option that was implemented in 9.16,
299 but not documented.
300 - add -dockapp option to make the wm treat urxvt as a dockapp.
301 - add -mc option and multiClickTime resource to set the maximum time
302 between multi-click select events (patch by Joe Peterson).
303 - new 'eval' extension to evaluate arbitrary perl code with keysym
304 bindings. The extension also provides methods that implement basic
305 actions, such as pasting selections and scrolling.
306 - the macosx-clipboard and macosx-clipboard-native extensions have been removed.
307 - kuake extension now uses the kuake.hotkey resource to specify the hotkey.
308 - new 'matcher:select' mode of matcher to iterate over the matches with the keyboard.
309 - the 'matcher:list' feature of matcher now honours the launcher
310 associated to a matched pattern.
311 - speed-up matcher underlining on very long lines (reported by Edward Z. Yang).
312 - fix up/down commands of searchable-scrollback so that they always move
313 to the previous/next logical line with a match, if any.
314 - searchable-scrollback resource has been deprecated (use keysym instead).
315 - extension parameter passing is deprecated (use resource mechanism instead).
316 - upgrade to GPLv3 (see COPYING).
317 - compile out of the box on Solaris 10, again.
318 - fix height and position of the stippled area in next scrollbar (patch
319 by Thomas Otto).
320 - fix off-by-one bug causing the iso14755 window not to jump out of the
321 way properly.
322 - fix crash that may happen if a lib to which urxvt is linked to calls setenv.
323 - fix memory leak in special_{encode,decode} perl methods.
324 - fix refresh bug that occurs when reverse video is set on a cell
325 containing a space and with the same bg and fg colour, red hat bug
326 #830236.
327 - fix crash that may happen if an x error is received after a terminal
328 window/popup has been destroyed already.
329 - removed superfluous 0 digit from sgr terminfo sequence.
330 - greatly improve colour allocation on colour-starved pseudocolour
331 displays to avoid read-write cells instead of simply failing
332 (this is only relevant for antique 8bpp frame buffers).
333 - do not free fade colours when not doing fading (this is likely
334 only relevant for antique 8bpp frame buffers).
335 - do not specialcase 2 or 4 colour visuals, leading to
336 simpler and actually more correct code.
337 - hopefully no longer leak colours on !truecolour visuals.
338 - use consistent method names (scr_recolour => scr_recolor).
339 - use simpler (but slightly less bogus) formula for nearest
340 colour choice (this is likely only relevant for antique 8bpp
341 frame buffers).
342 - remove fallback behaviour when initialising colours - the
343 behaviour was inconsistent between startup vs. later and
344 was only effective when valid colours couldn't be allocated.
345
3469.20 Sat Apr 26 16:22:27 CEST 2014
36 - (libptytty) fix bug that prevented urxvtd from writing utmp 347 - (libptytty) fix bug that prevented urxvtd from writing utmp
37 entries when using --fork (reported by Ryan Kavanagh). 348 entries when using --fork (reported by Ryan Kavanagh).
38 - security bugfix: window property values could be queried even 349 - security bugfix: window property values could be queried even
39 in secure mode (reported by Phillip Hallam-Baker). 350 in secure mode (reported by Conor McCarthy).
40 - fix build when perl is enabled and fading is disabled. 351 - fix build when perl is enabled and fading is disabled.
41 - fix regression that broke continuous scrolling when pressing 352 - fix regression that broke continuous scrolling when pressing
42 and holding the scrollbar up or down button, gentoo bug #493992. 353 and holding the scrollbar up or down button, gentoo bug #493992.
43 - increase the maximum length of a command sequence to 32k bytes, 354 - increase the maximum length of a command sequence to 32k bytes,
44 to allow longer OSC sequences (previous limit was 2k). 355 to allow longer OSC sequences (previous limit was 2k).
