40 - New 'eval' extension to evaluate arbitrary perl code with keysym
41 bindings. The extension also provides methods that implement basic
42 actions, such as pasting selections and scrolling.
43 - the macosx-clipboard and macosx-clipboard-native extensions have been removed.
44 - the keysym-list extension has been removed, you can use the following
45 perl one-liner to expand your existing .Xdefaults file to do without it:
46 - kuake extension now uses the kuake.hotkey resource to specify the hotkey.
47 - the 'matcher:list' feature of matcher now honours the launcher
48 associated to a matched pattern.
49 - searchable-scrollback resource has been deprecated (use keysym instead).
50 - extension parameter passing is deprecated (use resource mechanism instead).
51 - upgrade to GPLv3 (see COPYING).
52
539.20 Sat Apr 26 16:22:27 CEST 2014
54 - (libptytty) fix bug that prevented urxvtd from writing utmp
55 entries when using --fork (reported by Ryan Kavanagh).
56 - security bugfix: window property values could be queried even
57 in secure mode (reported by Conor McCarthy).
58 - fix build when perl is enabled and fading is disabled.
59 - fix regression that broke continuous scrolling when pressing
60 and holding the scrollbar up or down button, gentoo bug #493992.
61 - increase the maximum length of a command sequence to 32k bytes,
62 to allow longer OSC sequences (previous limit was 2k).
63 - new Ctrl-Meta-c and Ctrl-Meta-v bindings to interact with
64 the CLIPBOARD selection.
65 - new extension: selection-to-clipboard.
66 - the extensions macosx-clipboard and macosx-clipboard-native
67 are deprecated and will be removed in the next release.
68 Support for the clipboard on OS X can be more generally
69 enabled by setting the XQuartz preference to sync the OS X
70 pasteboard and the X11 clipboard.
71
729.19 Sun Oct 27 17:16:07 CET 2013
73 - work around perl 5.18.0 breakage in tabbed extension
74 (reported by Karol Blazewicz) and in pod (Dominic Hargreaves).
75 - fix regression that caused the double-click word selection to
76 erroneously include a tab on the left of the selected word.
77 - implement FOCUS variable and focus_fade function in background
78 expression, to allow focus-sensitive background images.
79 - add support for the set cursor style (DECSCUSR) control
80 function.
81 - honour cursorColor also when the cursor style is underline.
82 - export some Color_xxx constants to Perl.
83
849.18 Sun Mar 24 15:33:35 CET 2013
85 - fix regression that caused artifacts on resize.
86
879.17 Fri Mar 1 13:46:08 CET 2013
88 - add shade operator in background perl extension.
89 - avoid starting or ending the selection in the middle of wide
90 characters to avoid artifacts (reported by Tiago Resende).
91 - fix artifacts that may occur if the character in the cursor
92 cell has width > 1 (reported by Tiago Resende).
93 - fix regression that causes artifacts on scrolling if
94 saveLines is 0 and the window is resized (reported by Bert
95 Münnich).
96 - fix build when perl is enabled and pixbuf and transparency
97 are disabled.
98
999.16 Thu Dec 27 11:56:43 CET 2012
100 - the "so much new stuff your eyes will pop out" release.
101 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: renamed urlLauncher resource to url-launcher.
102 - fix processing of DEC private mode save sequences (patch by Patrick
103 Hemmer).
104 - perl extensions now have their own manpages, installed as urxvt-NAME(1),
105 e.g. urxvt-background(1) - see urxvt-extensions(1) for a list.
106 - fix disabling of cursor blink with the option-popup menu (based on a
107 patch by Jan Larres).
108 - the font height is not augmented anymore when lineSpace is non zero.
109 - fix "new pagemap" vs. "delete pagemap" mismatch ([] vs. non-[]),
110 as diagnosed by clang.
111 - fix height mismatch between active and inactive cursor when
112 lineSpace is non zero (patch by Stanislav Seletskiy).
113 - make it compile with LOCAL_X_IS_UNIX again (reported by
114 nickfailure@gmail.com).
115 - completely redone background pixmap support - users can now
116 specify arbitrary expressions (And programs) that calculate
117 new terminal backgrounds. see the urxvt-background manpage
118 for details.
119 - xrender is now required for background pixmap support.
120 - perl extensions can now provide commandline switches and resources
121 which show up in -help etc.
122 - iso14755 51 mode window now displays row and column.
123 - implement a -visual switch and move that and -depth to frills, also
124 warn when we can't get the requested visual.
125 - new env variable: RXVT_PERL_LIB.
126 - allocate all screen memory in one go and let the virtual memory
127 subsystem sort it out. this simplifies code, improves access
128 locality, saves a bit of ram and makes things a bit faster, too.
129 - remove support for libafterimage.
130 - update to CVS version of libev, for a whopping 11kb size decrease.
131 - do not ship yet another copy of ecb.h, use the one in libev or
132 libptytty instead.
133 - selectively mark some methods as cache-hot/cache cold, which
134 might speed up execution but definitely decreases codesize.
135 - Fix regression that prevented the scrollbar trough color
136 from being applied (reported by Derek B. Noonburg).
137 - Fix the scrollbar size for rxvt style (patch by Mark Robinson).
138
1399.15 Sat Jan 21 13:36:56 CET 2012
140 - remove "using namespace std" because clang erroneously
141 thinks thats an error.
142 - finding a matching font (e.g. bold version of the base font)
143 was broken (reported by Eamon Walker).
144 - fix parsing of bg image styles. They really work now.
145 - fix blurring of bg image borders when using xrender.
146 - fix xrender blur on common xrender implementations that do
147 not behave correctly when the same pixmap is used as source
148 and destination in composite operations.
149 - fix regression that caused tabbed to compute the wrong size
150 for tabs.
151 - allow again an empty suffix in a keysym list spec (patch by
152 Sung Pae).
153 - unsupported support for sun studio's CC added.
154 - fix -C option on solaris.
155
1569.14 Wed Dec 21 18:40:33 CET 2011
157 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: the urxvtd default socket path is now
158 $HOME/.urxvt/urxvtd-<nodename>.
159 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: the "list" keysym expansion now requires
160 loading of the "keysym-list" perl extension.
161 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: A scale value of 0 in the bg image
162 geometry no longer enables tiling, so as to make it possible
163 to disable both scaling and tiling.
164 - overhaul of the bg image operations. The old operations have
165 been deprecated in favour of elementary operations and
166 styles built on top of the new operations and scale/position
167 settings. (Emanuele Giaquinta).
168 - support for libafterimage is deprecated and will be removed
169 in the next release.
170 - fix a crash caused by selection_check not properly resetting
171 out-of-bounds mark values (can happen when extending a selection
172 while scrolling up in curses programs for example).
173 - do not move the selection when scrolling up and the selection is
174 outside the scrolling region (Emanuele Giaquinta).
175 - fix display of bold bright black (reported by Ben Winslow).
176 - fix memory leak when urgentOnBell is set (patch by Nathaniel
177 Filardo).
178 - fix a redraw bug that occurs when a bg pixmap is set and the
179 wm does not honour the size hints set by urxvt. Now urxvt
180 forces the size of the terminal window to be a multiple of
181 the cell size.
182 - sanitise the argument of SD / SU sequences. Fixes a possible
183 crash when the argument is big enough, red hat bug #711137
184 (Emanuele Giaquinta).
185 - correctly split long lines when scrolling.
186 - urxvt now looks for perl extensions also in $HOME/.urxvt/ext.
187 - add bell-command perl extension to execute a command when a
188 bell event occurs (Ryan Kavanagh).
189 - add set_urgency perl binding to set/reset the urgency hint.
190 - consume button release event in matcher (exg).
191 - keyboard accessible list of recent matches in matcher
192 (Bob Farrell).
193 - properly process 'keysym' sequences in tabbed when using
194 'focus follows mouse' and the focus is on the main window
195 but not on the active terminal window (patch by Martin
196 Pohlack).
197 - support for the freedesktop startup-notification protocol (patch by
198 Michael Stapelberg).
199 - the direction of VPR and VPB commands was reversed.
200 - fix alignment of inherited root pixmap when it is a different size
201 than the root window and the terminal window is off the left or top
202 edge (Mikachu).
203 - make $self visible in "eval perl expression" popup action, also
204 handle exceptions better.
205 - fix parsing of '-e' when it occurs as an option argument, such as in
206 'urxvt -title -e' (Emanuele Giaquinta).
207
2089.12 Wed Jun 29 14:34:28 CEST 2011
209 - fix regression in processing of SelectionNotify events.
210 urxvt would fail to request a selection if the owner did not
211 support the UTF8_STRING target.
212 - fix rendering of double width chars in certain circumstances, more
213 likely to happen if urxvt is compiled with 256 colors support as
214 urxvt runs out of fonts much earlier then. Fixes gentoo bug #358151
215 (Emanuele Giaquinta).
216 - restore support for 'list' syntax in keysym resources (requested by Sung Pae).
217 - always premultiply colour values - while this increases differences between
218 core fonts and xft, it is "more correct" in practical situations.
219 - disable PTYTTY_REENTRANT option - not needed for urxvt and saves a bit of code.
220 - remove lucidatypewriter from the list of fallback fonts, it was the only
221 non-xft non-cellfont in the list anyway.
222
2239.11 Mon May 2 10:34:46 CEST 2011
224 - fix compilation on GNU/Hurd, debian bug #624736.
225 - remove 'list' syntax for keysym resources, as it serves no useful purpose.
226 If you need it, poke us and provide a use case.
227 - fix alpha channel support. Premultiply alpha in colours if the visual
228 supports an alpha channel, as xrender expects premultiplied alpha
229 (Emanuele Giaquinta).
230 - fix reply to a selection request sent by an obsolete client
231 such as syncterm (patch by Marcin Cieslak).
232 - fix crash when the window is resized and the overlay is active
233 (Emanuele Giaquinta, reported by Ryan Kavanagh).
234 - match character-wise rather than byte-wise in selection
235 extension again. perl 5.8.9+ is required to avoid extreme
236 slowdowns. Fixes debian bugs #523072, #616463.
237 - fix a possible crash if the INCR transfer process for a
238 selection property timeouts and at least one chunk is
239 received. (Emanuele Giaquinta)
240 - work around a memory corruption bug in xorg's XrmSetDatabase (apparently
241 broken since http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/xorg-commit-diffs/2004-March/000239.html).
242 - fix memory corruption bug when custom command sequences bound to keys
243 were injected into an already-full pty input buffer.
244 - gdk-pixbuf is autodetected by default and preferred over libafterimage.
245 - do not prepend a newline to the selection text when the starting line
246 of the selection is not highlighted (Emanuele Giaquinta).
247 - don't swap perl env with real env, save and restore it, just in case
248 we ever get recursive perl invocations. also saves a bit of codespace
249 with gcc.
250 - fix various memory leaks (Emanuele Giaquinta).
251 - fix typo in kIC terminfo capability, debian bug #446444.
252 - document 'thickness' resource.
253 - fix debian bug #504817, to the extent possible.
254 - try to detect byte order at compile time, saves a couple of
255 hundred bytes, if your compiler is smart enough.
256 - add support for previewing the pasted data in confirm-paste
257 (Emanuele Giaquinta).
258 - added "newlines to spaces" option in selection-popup.
259 - actually enabled solaris event ports backend (was disabled by accident).
260 - revert to 38400 baud max., mission accomplished.
261 - no longer create scary "pty_fill: PLEASE REPORT" message, instead,
262 silently drain the input (problem is well understood now).
263 - no longer swallow rob nation's own graphics mode commands.
264
2659.10 Mon Dec 13 17:43:52 CET 2010
266 - the "schmorp=north korea dickey=south korea" release.
267 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: make OSC 20 simpler and more correct
268 (Emanuele Giaquinta).
269 - if options were compiled out, this could lead to the option
270 count to be defined wrongly. This is likely behind the
271 failures with gcc 4.5.
272 - explicitly depend on fontconfig and xrender when xft support
273 is enabled. Although the public Xft api uses types from
274 both, in Xft 2.2.0 these libs are private
275 dependencies only thanks to an idiotic behaviour of
276 pkg-config that was added to workaround cases like this one.
277 Fixes linking when using GNU ld with --as-needed or GNU gold
278 (based on patch by Jan Palus).
279 - fix minor memory leaks in urxvt and urxvtd.
280 - fix regression in urxvtd that prevented options from being correctly
281 set (reported by Michal Vaner).
282 - implement xterm's horribly broken 1005 mouse reporting mode,
283 and an alternative 1015 mode that works in non-utf-8 locales
284 and has fewer limitations.
285 - fix a possible bug where mouse notifications didn't work after
286 startup for the upper left corner.
287 - implement our own pixbuf to pixmap rendering to get rid of
288 dependency on buggy gdk-pixbuf-xlib. Only truecolor visuals
289 are supported (Emanuele Giaquinta).
290 - apply tinting before shading when both operations are requested.
291 Previously they were intermixed when lightening and the result
292 was inaccurate and confusing. Note that now a black tint yields a
293 completely black image, regardless of shading (Emanuele Giaquinta).
294 - avoid spurious redraws of the bg image when bg is transparent or
295 when using 'root' mode (Emanuele Giaquinta).
296 - fix build on XFree86.
297 - dynamically number options according to compiletime requirements.
298 For the extra saved byte. Or so. Yay.
299 - start options at one, not zero. Wastes a bit per terminal. Maybe.
300 saves 50 instruction bytes. Possibly.
301
3029.09 Sat Nov 13 01:39:07 CET 2010
303 - NOTICE: this release updates terminfo/termcap.
304 - the bestest release ever.

307 - add support for using gdk-pixbuf as image backend (Emanuele Giaquinta).
308 - cleanup and minor fixes of the image code (Emanuele Giaquinta).
309 - new perl extension "confirm-paste" (Emanuele Giaquinta).
310 - new on_tt_paste perl hook and tt_paste perl binding (Emanuele Giaquinta).
311 - new on_bell perl hook (Emanuele Giaquinta).
312 - searchable-scrollback no longer ignores the first line
313 (Emanuele Giaquinta).
314 - properly set VSTATUS in termios for *BSD (reported by Ed Schouten).
315 - fix utmpx detection on upcoming FreeBSD 9.
316 - Use COMPOUND_TEXT encoding for WM_NAME/WM_ICON_NAME value when it
317 is not fully convertible to STRING (patch by James Cloos).
318 - fix a buffer overflow that would cause wrong key sequences to
319 be generated for numpad keys (introduced in 9.05).
320 - fix definition of sgr0 to work around limitations in luit.
321 - extend ISO 14755 5.4 mode to also print the font name of the
322 characters other than first one in the selected cell
323 (Emanuele Giaquinta).
324 - new iso14755 option to disable ISO 14755 at runtime
325 (Emanuele Giaquinta).
326 - make sure pagewise scrolling scrolls at least one line
327 (found by Mikachu).
328 - remove deprecated OSC 18 / 19 and make OSC 17 / 19 apply to
329 highlightColor / highlightTextColor (Emanuele Giaquinta).
330 - add highlightTextColor resource to change the foreground colour of
331 highlighted characters (Emanuele Giaquinta).
332 - make highlightColor apply also to selected cells with reverse video
333 but not to non selected cells with reverse video (Emanuele Giaquinta).
334 - remove colorRV resource (it was enabled only with frills off).
335 - fix numlock handling, the most longstanding bug to date (Emanuele Giaquinta).
336 - reduce the number of custom bits to 4, to make room
337 for 256 colours.
338 - add support for 256 colors (Emanuele Giaquinta, Marc Lehmann).
339 - add rxvt-unicode-256color terminfo and use it by default in 256 colors mode.
340 - update rxvt-unicode terminfo to state 7744 colour pairs to cover all
341 88*88 possible pairs.
342 - actually added macosx-clipboard-native, which should have been in
343 the 9.07 release but had been forgotten.
344 - fix hang if DECAWM is not set and there are not enough columns to insert a
345 character (Emanuele Giaquinta).
346 - cub1 ("backspace") will now respect wrapping when past the rightmost column,
347 working around a shortcoming of most tty line discipline's line editing.
348 - add support for grabbing the clipboard selection and extend
349 selection{_clear,_grab,} perl bindings to optionally work
350 on the clipboard selection (based on patch by Dana Jansens).
351 - no longer force CERASE to BACKSPACE - use the system default. affects
352 default value for VERASE only when no compatible setting for
353 backspacekey was given.
354 - use higher than 38400 baudrate setting, if detected.
355 - erase screen would clear to the wrong background when blinking
356 was enabled (which selects high intensity under some circumstances).
357 - scr_kill_char didn't touch the line.
358 - upgrade and port to libev-4.01.
359 - enabled solaris event ports and kqueue backends (if available).
360
3619.07 Wed Dec 30 07:07:18 CET 2009
362 - port to glibc-2.10 changes (strchr etc. returning const char *
363 in C++), based on patches by Milos Jakubicek and Oliver Mader.
364 - the binary search algorithm to find precomposed characters
365 was faulty, skipping some possible combinations (found by
366 Mikachu).
367 - new -letterspace option, patch by Mark H. Wilkinson.
368 - enable --mlock option for urxvt with frills on
369 systems supporting it (patch by Russell Harmon).
370 - urxvt did not compile without frills enabled
371 (analysed by Matthew Rosewarne).
372 - correctly reset the mbstate after an illegal
373 input sequence when handling terminal output (Emanuele Giaquinta).
374 - avoid redrawing wide characters with combining enabled on every
375 refresh (reported by Mikachu).
376 - fix a typo preventing the ISO-646.1991 character set from being
377 recognized (http://achurch.org/patch-pile/).
378 - better warning for x11 font encoding detection failures, also,
379 try to deduce encoding from both font properties and name
380 (adapted from http://achurch.org/patch-pile/).
381 - resizing the window with the scrollbar disabled via the escapes
382 sequence could make the window bigger again (Mikachu).
383 - make sure the alignment for fd passing control messages
384 is correct and work around some NetBSD issues (Taylor R Campbell).
385 - update to libptytty 1.3.
386 - replace macosx-clipboard by a nicer version by Reza Jelveh, and move
387 the old version to macosx-clipboard-native.
388 - document the -uc option (Emanuele Giaquinta).
389 - assertions in libev are now enabled depending on frills.
390 - update AnyEvent implementation to version 5.23 API.
391 - work around arrogant bsd idiocies again: netbsd spills the default
392 namespace with lots of symbols "for gnu/gcc compatibility" even
393 though neither of them does it, and then calls the rest of the world
394 in need of fixing. go figure.
395 - on_keyboard_command is on_user_command (patch by Michael Witten).
396 - setting the selection from perl will now reset the selection screen
397 to the current screen. the screen can be manipulated using
398 the new ->selection_screen method.
399 - implement --enable-assert configure option and get rid of DEBUG_STRICT
400 (based on patch by Emanuele Giaquinta).

403 - upgrade to libev-3.9 prerelease.
404 - updated compose tables to unicode 5.2.0.
405
4069.06 Sat Nov 8 17:47:18 CET 2008
407 - NOTICE: this release updates terminfo/termcap.
408 - updates libev to 3.48.
409 - the aterm code now frees the as visual and image manager objects
410 when a window was closed.
411 - do not (wrongly) adjust the virtual line length inside
412 scr_insdel_chars/ERASE (Miroslav Lichvar).
413 - fix an issue where wide tab characters caused character shifts
414 when part of them was deleted (tracked down by Miroslav Lichvar).
415 - artificially enlargen the previous character at the end of a line
416 when trying to output a character that doesn't fit. looks ugly, but
417 makes copy&paste work.
418 - remove bogus "setuid/setgid security issues" from rxvt.1.pod, they
419 no longer apply.
420 - the urgency hint is now cleared on both focus in and focus out.

426 - use a less cunning, but more robust algorithm to avoid one terminal
427 monopolising the whole process by outputting a lot of text.
428 - try to work around linux first breaking sched_yield and now breaking
429 the only known workaround.
430 - new option -icon to set _NET_WM_ICON (based on patch by Frank Schmitt).

434 client windows on hint property updates by temporarily
435 disabling size hints.
436 - implement the DECSTR soft reset sequence and use it for tput init,
437 and make hard RIS and DECSTR both reset more private modes, such
438 as mouse reporting.
439 - redundantly clear mouse reporting and a few other states in
440 tput init/tput reset, for older urxvts.
441 - partial/full clear screens did cause flickering and possibly pixel
442 droppings when urxvt viewed the scrollback buffer.
443 - use current rendition style in DCH sequence.
444 - the 132/80 mode switch no longer forces a screen reset.

480
4819.01 Sat Jan 26 20:49:27 CET 2008
482 - be more aggressive about handling X events, this seems to be required
483 with newer xlibs (should fix the "screen stays black until event is

486
4879.0 Fri Jan 25 19:34:04 CET 2008
488 - fix a crash bug where urxvtd would crash when urxvtc was called
489 with wrong arguments (I wish debian maintainers in general would
490 report bugs and their proposed fixes to the original package maintainers

492 - drawing xft compose characters was causing garbage to be drawn.
493 - correctly clear xft character background in all cases.
494 - implement bracketed paste mode (xterm private mode 2004).

501 - continuously update transparency while moving/resizing now.
502 - OSC 39/49 are deprecated and aliased to OSC 10/11.
503 - cub1 now acts as advertised (and ignores the "wrapped" state).

505 resets the terminal.
506 - scrollbar code cleanups.
507 - stopping children is no longer confused with children exiting.
508 - removed (undocumented) #aarrggbb format.
509 - updated to libev 3.0.
510
5118.9 Mon Dec 24 07:51:40 CET 2007
512 - fix the issue where urxvtd would not immediately close a window
513 when the command exited but only on the next X event.

518 and flickering after bg pixmap changes (reported by Mikachu).
519 - fix redraw bug in xterm scrollbar with -sr (reported by Mikachu).

526 options that shouldn't be compiled in, leading to interesting
527 effects.

529 symptom of urxvt not closing its window on shell exit. also
530 fixes a problem with urxvt not refreshing.
531 - the text blink callback was called even when no blinking
532 text was visible.
533 - pre-8.4 slipwheeling behaviour has been reinstated, with
534 some minor improvements.
535 - streamlined x events processing to only flush once per
536 display and not once per terminal window.
537 - quite a bit of minor code cleanups and codesize optimisations.
538
5398.7 Sun Nov 25 10:23:49 CET 2007
540 - update libev with an important bugfix that would cause crashes
541 when closing windows (when using rxvtd, and update is recommended).
542 - do not compile in the block builtin graphics with --disable-frills.
543
5448.6 Fri Nov 23 14:10:57 CET 2007
545 - upgrade libev to disable kqueue on anything but netbsd as it
546 seems to be broken everywhere else w.r.t. ptys.
547 - allow for spurious event notifications, as at least epoll and

550 - -keysym command line options are now subjected to xlib parsing.
551 - add 'xrm' option analogous to Xt one.

562 - fix a serious bug while setting the XIM destroy callback
563 on (typical) 64 bit systems.
564 - automove-background functionality re-implemented internally using :root op in pixmap
565 geometry string. For example: rxvt -pixmap "image.jpg;:root"
566 - do not link rxvtc against every lib on the planet anymore.
567 - parallel builds should work once more.

596 extension (tpope).
597 - compile out of the box on Solaris 10 (exg).
598 - fix MappingNotify events (reported by Stephan Walter).

608 (found by Aiviru).
609 - disabled linux kernel bug workaround again: disabling it gives
610 a 50% speed hit on affected machines, while enabling it gives

624 - rip out support for non-POSIX termios variants.
625 - update libptytty.

627 - when !XFT, change rounding of colours to use a less correct formula to
628 meet user expectancies (#aaa becomes #a000a000a000 not #9f9f9f9f9f9f).
629 - change the starting offset of the pixmap set with backgroundPixmap
630 from (50,50) to (0,0) (exg).

652 thus losing the ability to draw combining characters properly in most
653 circumstances (reported by exg).
654 - specified fonts were incorrectly morphed to bold/italic according to the
655 basefont, even if explicitly specified (tracked down by tpope).
656 - fixed urxvt::strwidth to calculate width in the same way as screen.C.
657 - fix a crash caused by passing negative widths to overlay functions.
658 - added 'matcher' extension by tpope, replacing the mark-urls extension.

669 - Leonid Khramov spotted a minor glitch in rxvtfont.C that
670 should not have any consequences, but was buggy nonetheless.
