50TODO: image loading osc does not autoload background ext
51TODO: clean up the resource vs. long option mess, especially in the manpage.
52 - allow URxvt*keysym to match again. The fact that it was ignored
53 is considered a regression due in the way we checked for keysym
54 resources.
55 - new option/resource -rm/rewrapMode, which sets the line rewrap
56 mode to auto, never or always.
57 - new option/resource -dpb/disablePasteBrackets, which can be used to
58 disable bracketed paste mode sequences, as more and more programs
59 abuse these sequences (typically in the name of security, but these
60 sequences are not improving security). Also, bracketed paste mode
61 is now under frills.
62 - enable confirm-paste extension by default, can be disabled by e.g.
63 URxvt.perl-ext: -confirm-paste
64 - if urxvt cannot detect a good estimate for font width (because a font does
65 not contain latin characters at all for example), it will now fall
66 back to xft's max_advance_width, which works well with some fonts. It
67 currently will warn about this.
68 - do not render variation selectors in the default font as boxes, treat
69 them as zero-width characters.
70 - change combining character architecture to allow fonts to handle
71 combining sequences on their own. This could allow future renderers
72 to be more intelligent about these sequences.
73 - use the previous enhancement to allow unicode characters outside of the
74 BMP to be rendered even without --enable-unicode3, as long as an
75 xft with the character is configured.
76 It's recommended to stay with disabled unicode3 even more now.
77 - freetype/xft have been verified to return nonsensical offsets for
78 combining characters. urxvt tries to compensate to some extent,
79 but diacritics will be slightly off in many cases, and far off in
80 some cases (e.g. input mono).
81 - when checking for overlap/careful handling, take non-basefont
82 character shifts into account.
83 - allow perl-ext and perl-ext-common to override autoloaded extensions.
84 this allows tabbed to disable itself in subtabs, avoiding recursive
85 loading.
86 - update precompose table to unicode 13.0.
87 - update charset conversion tables to perl 5.32 (this only affected
88 cs_koi8_u_from_unicode).
89 - unicode characters > 0x100000 were not handled correctly w.r.t.
90 font rendering.
91 - replace bitstream vera by dejavu sans, as it has replaced the former
92 almost everywhere.
93
949.26 Fri May 14 19:14:14 CEST 2021
95 - ev_iouring.c was wrongly required during compilation, and wrongly
96 not packaged.
97
989.25 Fri May 14 15:51:36 CEST 2021
99 - for the 17.5th anniversary, and because many distributions seem to
100 remove rxvt in favour of urxvt, this release resurrects rclock as
101 urclock.
102 - add support for systemd socket-based activation - debian bug #917105,
103 freebsd bug #234276.
104 - do not destruct perl on exit anymore: this might fail for a variety of
105 reasons, and takes unnecessary time.
106 - remove any macros from urxvtperl manpage(s), should fix debian
107 bug 858385.
108 - the old bg image resources are now provided by the background
109 extension, and perl is thus required for bg image support. No
110 configuration change is needed: urxvt autoloads the background
111 ext if any bg image resource/option is present (for OSC sequences to
112 work you need to enable it explicitly). The old bg image
113 resources are also now deprecated; users are encouraged to
114 switch to the new bg image interface (see man urxvt-background).
115 - confirm-paste now checks for any ctlchars, not just newlines.
116 - searchable scrollback will now ignore bracketed paste mode sequences
117 (prompted by Daniel Gröber's patch).
118 - drop ISO 2022 locale support. ISO 2022 encodings are not supported in
119 POSIX locales and clash with vt100 charset emulation (the luit
120 program can be used as a substitute).
121 - perl didn't parse rgba colours specified as an array correctly,
122 only allowing 0 and 100% intensity for each component (this affected
123 fill and tint).
124 - when iterating over resources, urxvt will now try to properly handle
125 multipart resources (such as "*background.expr"), for the benefit
126 of autoloading perl extensions.
127 - ESC G (query rxvt graphics mode) has been disabled due to security
128 implications. The rxvt graphics mode was removed in rxvt-unicode 1.5,
129 and no programs relying on being able to query the mode are known.
130 - work around API change breakage in perl 5.28, based on a patch by
131 Roman Bogorodskiy.
132 - improved security: rob nation's (obsolete) graphics mode queries
133 no longer reply with linefeed in secure/default mode.
134 - ISO 8613-3 direct colour SGR sequences (patch by Fengguang Wu).
135 - xterm focus reporting mode (patch by Daniel Hahler).
136 - xterm SGR mouse mode.
137 - implement DECRQM. Patch by Přemysl Eric Janouch.
138 - add missing color index parameter to OSC 4 response. Patch
139 by Přemysl Eric Janouch.
140 - in some window managers, if smart resize was enabled, urxvt
141 erroneously moved the window on font change - awesome bug
142 #532, arch linux bug ##34807 (patch by Uli Schlachter).
143 - fix urxvtd crash when using a background expression.
144 - properly restore colors when using fading and reverse video
145 is enabled while urxvt is focused and then disabled while it
146 is not focused, or vice versa (patch by Daniel Hahler).
147 - fix high memory usage when an extension repeatedly hides and
148 shows an overlay (reported by Marcel Lautenbach).
149 - expose priv_modes member and constants to perl extensions
150 (patch by Rastislav Barlik).
151 - fix a whole slew of const sillyness, unfortunately forced upon
152 us by ISO C++.
153 - update to libecb 0x00010006.
154 - disable all thread support in ecb.h as we presumably don't need it.
155 - slightly improve Makefile source dependencies.
156 - work around bugs in newer Pod::Xhtml versions (flags incorrect formatting codes
157 in xhtml/html sections but does not interpret correct ones).
158
1599.22 Sat Jan 23 21:07:33 CET 2016
160 - NOTICE: this release updates terminfo.
161 - add terminfo capabilities for various ctrl and shift-ctrl key variants
162 (patch by Sebastian Schmidt).
163 - fix longstanding core font encoding bug where some character
164 ranges could not be mapped from unicode to the font: affected
165 encodings are big5, gb2312, iso8859-8 (hebrew), jis0201 and
166 ksc5601 (reported by Mikachu).
167 - fix crash when the number of columns is 1 and a 0 width character is inserted
168 (reported by Kuang-che Wu).
169 - fix a crash when parsing an invalid color specification (reported by Kuang-che Wu).
170 - fix a buffer overflow in font name parser (reported by Kuang-che Wu).
171 - do not start blinking cursor if the window is unfocused (reported by
172 Devin J. Pohly).
173 - change the width of underline and i-beam cursor to 2 pixels (based on
174 a patch by Omar Sandoval).
175 - add pointerShape resource to change the mouse pointer shape
176 (based on a patch by Brian Watson).
177 - a keysym resource for a key which is already bound to an
178 action now properly rebinds the key.
179 - do not report mouse motion events if Shift is active (patch by Daniel Hahler).
180 - put the alpha component last in responses to OSC color queries
181 (patch by Benjamin Herr).
182 - the key_press hook is now invoked before processing the
183 event, as documented. This change was done in 9.21 but not
184 announced and fixes debian bugs #511377, #531751 and red hat
185 bug #1105069. Note that this change breaks a few scripts,
186 such as mark-yank-urls, which rely on the previous buggy
187 behaviour that urxvt processes the event (in particular
188 keysym bindings) before invoking the hook.
189 - the tabbed extension now properly refreshes the active tab
190 on a key press when the mouse pointer is outside the terminal
191 window.
192 - add 'lookup_keysym' perl method to lookup the action bound
193 to a key combination.
194 - a key combination bound to 'matcher:select' can now be used
195 to cycle through the matches in matcher.
196 - change perl integer accessors (->width et al.) into mutators.
197
1989.21 Wed Dec 31 14:50:03 CET 2014
199 - the "moa redraw 8-bit british vintage colour management" release.
200 - NOTICE: this release updates terminfo.
201 - fix pixel droppings on overdraw when a secondary core font has the
202 same height but different ascent.
203 - implement cvvis in terminfo as blinking cursor, to distinguish it
204 from cnorm (emacs uses cvvis which is commonly a blinking cursor).
205 - when xft support was compiled in, colour queries erroneously returned
206 premultiplied values, this also affected internal queries, for example
207 when calculating faded colour. alpha is now divided out when possible,
208 which is more correct but loses colour resolution.
209 - add DECSCUSR xterm extension to set the cursor to a vertical bar.
210 - add 'extension:string' action, and associated on_action perl
211 hook, for keysym resources that invokes actions provided by
212 perl extensions. The 'perl:string' action and
213 on_user_command hook are deprecated but still supported.
214 - add 'builtin-string' action for keysym resources that restores string
215 mappings for keys that have predefined actions in urxvt.
216 - add -k option to urxvtc for killing the daemon process.
217 - document urxvtd's -e/--eval option that was implemented in 9.16,
218 but not documented.
219 - add -dockapp option to make the wm treat urxvt as a dockapp.
220 - add -mc option and multiClickTime resource to set the maximum time
221 between multi-click select events (patch by Joe Peterson).
222 - new 'eval' extension to evaluate arbitrary perl code with keysym
223 bindings. The extension also provides methods that implement basic
224 actions, such as pasting selections and scrolling.
225 - the macosx-clipboard and macosx-clipboard-native extensions have been removed.
39 - kuake extension now uses the kuake.hotkey resource to specify the hotkey. 226 - kuake extension now uses the kuake.hotkey resource to specify the hotkey.
227 - new 'matcher:select' mode of matcher to iterate over the matches with the keyboard.
228 - the 'matcher:list' feature of matcher now honours the launcher
229 associated to a matched pattern.
230 - speed-up matcher underlining on very long lines (reported by Edward Z. Yang).
231 - fix up/down commands of searchable-scrollback so that they always move
232 to the previous/next logical line with a match, if any.
40 - searchable-scrollback resource has been deprecated (use keysym instead). 233 - searchable-scrollback resource has been deprecated (use keysym instead).
41 - extension parameter passing is deprecated (use resource mechanism instead). 234 - extension parameter passing is deprecated (use resource mechanism instead).
235 - upgrade to GPLv3 (see COPYING).
236 - compile out of the box on Solaris 10, again.
237 - fix height and position of the stippled area in next scrollbar (patch
238 by Thomas Otto).
239 - fix off-by-one bug causing the iso14755 window not to jump out of the
240 way properly.
241 - fix crash that may happen if a lib to which urxvt is linked to calls setenv.
242 - fix memory leak in special_{encode,decode} perl methods.
243 - fix refresh bug that occurs when reverse video is set on a cell
244 containing a space and with the same bg and fg colour, red hat bug
245 #830236.
246 - fix crash that may happen if an x error is received after a terminal
247 window/popup has been destroyed already.
248 - removed superfluous 0 digit from sgr terminfo sequence.
249 - greatly improve colour allocation on colour-starved pseudocolour
250 displays to avoid read-write cells instead of simply failing
251 (this is only relevant for antique 8bpp frame buffers).
252 - do not free fade colours when not doing fading (this is likely
253 only relevant for antique 8bpp frame buffers).
254 - do not specialcase 2 or 4 colour visuals, leading to
255 simpler and actually more correct code.
256 - hopefully no longer leak colours on !truecolour visuals.
257 - use consistent method names (scr_recolour => scr_recolor).
258 - use simpler (but slightly less bogus) formula for nearest
259 colour choice (this is likely only relevant for antique 8bpp
260 frame buffers).
261 - remove fallback behaviour when initialising colours - the
262 behaviour was inconsistent between startup vs. later and
263 was only effective when valid colours couldn't be allocated.
