39
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 - Fix height and position of the stippled area in next scrollbar (patch
53 by Thomas Otto).
54
559.20 Sat Apr 26 16:22:27 CEST 2014
56 - (libptytty) fix bug that prevented urxvtd from writing utmp
57 entries when using --fork (reported by Ryan Kavanagh).
58 - security bugfix: window property values could be queried even
59 in secure mode (reported by Conor McCarthy).
60 - fix build when perl is enabled and fading is disabled.
61 - fix regression that broke continuous scrolling when pressing
62 and holding the scrollbar up or down button, gentoo bug #493992.
63 - increase the maximum length of a command sequence to 32k bytes,
64 to allow longer OSC sequences (previous limit was 2k).
65 - new Ctrl-Meta-c and Ctrl-Meta-v bindings to interact with
66 the CLIPBOARD selection.
67 - new extension: selection-to-clipboard.
68 - the extensions macosx-clipboard and macosx-clipboard-native
69 are deprecated and will be removed in the next release.
70 Support for the clipboard on OS X can be more generally
71 enabled by setting the XQuartz preference to sync the OS X
72 pasteboard and the X11 clipboard.
73
749.19 Sun Oct 27 17:16:07 CET 2013
75 - work around perl 5.18.0 breakage in tabbed extension
76 (reported by Karol Blazewicz) and in pod (Dominic Hargreaves).
77 - fix regression that caused the double-click word selection to
78 erroneously include a tab on the left of the selected word.
79 - implement FOCUS variable and focus_fade function in background
80 expression, to allow focus-sensitive background images.
81 - add support for the set cursor style (DECSCUSR) control
82 function.
83 - honour cursorColor also when the cursor style is underline.
84 - export some Color_xxx constants to Perl.
85
869.18 Sun Mar 24 15:33:35 CET 2013
87 - fix regression that caused artifacts on resize.
88
899.17 Fri Mar 1 13:46:08 CET 2013
90 - add shade operator in background perl extension.
91 - avoid starting or ending the selection in the middle of wide
92 characters to avoid artifacts (reported by Tiago Resende).
93 - fix artifacts that may occur if the character in the cursor
94 cell has width > 1 (reported by Tiago Resende).
95 - fix regression that causes artifacts on scrolling if
96 saveLines is 0 and the window is resized (reported by Bert
97 Münnich).
98 - fix build when perl is enabled and pixbuf and transparency
99 are disabled.
100
1019.16 Thu Dec 27 11:56:43 CET 2012
102 - the "so much new stuff your eyes will pop out" release.
103 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: renamed urlLauncher resource to url-launcher.
104 - fix processing of DEC private mode save sequences (patch by Patrick
105 Hemmer).
106 - perl extensions now have their own manpages, installed as urxvt-NAME(1),
107 e.g. urxvt-background(1) - see urxvt-extensions(1) for a list.
108 - fix disabling of cursor blink with the option-popup menu (based on a
109 patch by Jan Larres).
110 - the font height is not augmented anymore when lineSpace is non zero.
111 - fix "new pagemap" vs. "delete pagemap" mismatch ([] vs. non-[]),
112 as diagnosed by clang.
113 - fix height mismatch between active and inactive cursor when
114 lineSpace is non zero (patch by Stanislav Seletskiy).
115 - make it compile with LOCAL_X_IS_UNIX again (reported by
116 nickfailure@gmail.com).
117 - completely redone background pixmap support - users can now
118 specify arbitrary expressions (And programs) that calculate
119 new terminal backgrounds. see the urxvt-background manpage
120 for details.
121 - xrender is now required for background pixmap support.
122 - perl extensions can now provide commandline switches and resources
123 which show up in -help etc.
124 - iso14755 51 mode window now displays row and column.
125 - implement a -visual switch and move that and -depth to frills, also
126 warn when we can't get the requested visual.
127 - new env variable: RXVT_PERL_LIB.
128 - allocate all screen memory in one go and let the virtual memory
129 subsystem sort it out. this simplifies code, improves access
130 locality, saves a bit of ram and makes things a bit faster, too.
131 - remove support for libafterimage.
132 - update to CVS version of libev, for a whopping 11kb size decrease.
133 - do not ship yet another copy of ecb.h, use the one in libev or
134 libptytty instead.
135 - selectively mark some methods as cache-hot/cache cold, which
136 might speed up execution but definitely decreases codesize.
137 - Fix regression that prevented the scrollbar trough color
138 from being applied (reported by Derek B. Noonburg).
139 - Fix the scrollbar size for rxvt style (patch by Mark Robinson).
140
1419.15 Sat Jan 21 13:36:56 CET 2012
142 - remove "using namespace std" because clang erroneously
143 thinks thats an error.
144 - finding a matching font (e.g. bold version of the base font)
145 was broken (reported by Eamon Walker).
146 - fix parsing of bg image styles. They really work now.
147 - fix blurring of bg image borders when using xrender.
148 - fix xrender blur on common xrender implementations that do
149 not behave correctly when the same pixmap is used as source
150 and destination in composite operations.
151 - fix regression that caused tabbed to compute the wrong size
152 for tabs.
153 - allow again an empty suffix in a keysym list spec (patch by
154 Sung Pae).
155 - unsupported support for sun studio's CC added.
156 - fix -C option on solaris.
157
1589.14 Wed Dec 21 18:40:33 CET 2011
159 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: the urxvtd default socket path is now
160 $HOME/.urxvt/urxvtd-<nodename>.
161 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: the "list" keysym expansion now requires
162 loading of the "keysym-list" perl extension.
163 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: A scale value of 0 in the bg image
164 geometry no longer enables tiling, so as to make it possible
165 to disable both scaling and tiling.
166 - overhaul of the bg image operations. The old operations have
167 been deprecated in favour of elementary operations and
168 styles built on top of the new operations and scale/position
169 settings. (Emanuele Giaquinta).
170 - support for libafterimage is deprecated and will be removed
171 in the next release.
172 - fix a crash caused by selection_check not properly resetting
173 out-of-bounds mark values (can happen when extending a selection
174 while scrolling up in curses programs for example).
175 - do not move the selection when scrolling up and the selection is
176 outside the scrolling region (Emanuele Giaquinta).
177 - fix display of bold bright black (reported by Ben Winslow).
178 - fix memory leak when urgentOnBell is set (patch by Nathaniel
179 Filardo).
180 - fix a redraw bug that occurs when a bg pixmap is set and the
181 wm does not honour the size hints set by urxvt. Now urxvt
182 forces the size of the terminal window to be a multiple of
183 the cell size.
184 - sanitise the argument of SD / SU sequences. Fixes a possible
185 crash when the argument is big enough, red hat bug #711137
186 (Emanuele Giaquinta).
187 - correctly split long lines when scrolling.
188 - urxvt now looks for perl extensions also in $HOME/.urxvt/ext.
189 - add bell-command perl extension to execute a command when a
190 bell event occurs (Ryan Kavanagh).
191 - add set_urgency perl binding to set/reset the urgency hint.
192 - consume button release event in matcher (exg).
193 - keyboard accessible list of recent matches in matcher
194 (Bob Farrell).
195 - properly process 'keysym' sequences in tabbed when using
196 'focus follows mouse' and the focus is on the main window
197 but not on the active terminal window (patch by Martin
198 Pohlack).
199 - support for the freedesktop startup-notification protocol (patch by
200 Michael Stapelberg).
201 - the direction of VPR and VPB commands was reversed.
202 - fix alignment of inherited root pixmap when it is a different size
203 than the root window and the terminal window is off the left or top
204 edge (Mikachu).
205 - make $self visible in "eval perl expression" popup action, also
206 handle exceptions better.
207 - fix parsing of '-e' when it occurs as an option argument, such as in
208 'urxvt -title -e' (Emanuele Giaquinta).
209
2109.12 Wed Jun 29 14:34:28 CEST 2011
211 - fix regression in processing of SelectionNotify events.
212 urxvt would fail to request a selection if the owner did not
213 support the UTF8_STRING target.
214 - fix rendering of double width chars in certain circumstances, more
215 likely to happen if urxvt is compiled with 256 colors support as
216 urxvt runs out of fonts much earlier then. Fixes gentoo bug #358151
217 (Emanuele Giaquinta).
218 - restore support for 'list' syntax in keysym resources (requested by Sung Pae).
219 - always premultiply colour values - while this increases differences between
220 core fonts and xft, it is "more correct" in practical situations.
221 - disable PTYTTY_REENTRANT option - not needed for urxvt and saves a bit of code.
222 - remove lucidatypewriter from the list of fallback fonts, it was the only
223 non-xft non-cellfont in the list anyway.
224
2259.11 Mon May 2 10:34:46 CEST 2011
226 - fix compilation on GNU/Hurd, debian bug #624736.
227 - remove 'list' syntax for keysym resources, as it serves no useful purpose.
228 If you need it, poke us and provide a use case.
229 - fix alpha channel support. Premultiply alpha in colours if the visual
230 supports an alpha channel, as xrender expects premultiplied alpha
231 (Emanuele Giaquinta).
232 - fix reply to a selection request sent by an obsolete client
233 such as syncterm (patch by Marcin Cieslak).
234 - fix crash when the window is resized and the overlay is active
235 (Emanuele Giaquinta, reported by Ryan Kavanagh).
236 - match character-wise rather than byte-wise in selection
237 extension again. perl 5.8.9+ is required to avoid extreme
238 slowdowns. Fixes debian bugs #523072, #616463.
239 - fix a possible crash if the INCR transfer process for a
240 selection property timeouts and at least one chunk is
241 received. (Emanuele Giaquinta)
242 - work around a memory corruption bug in xorg's XrmSetDatabase (apparently
243 broken since http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/xorg-commit-diffs/2004-March/000239.html).
244 - fix memory corruption bug when custom command sequences bound to keys
245 were injected into an already-full pty input buffer.
246 - gdk-pixbuf is autodetected by default and preferred over libafterimage.
247 - do not prepend a newline to the selection text when the starting line
248 of the selection is not highlighted (Emanuele Giaquinta).
249 - don't swap perl env with real env, save and restore it, just in case
250 we ever get recursive perl invocations. also saves a bit of codespace
251 with gcc.
252 - fix various memory leaks (Emanuele Giaquinta).
253 - fix typo in kIC terminfo capability, debian bug #446444.
254 - document 'thickness' resource.
255 - fix debian bug #504817, to the extent possible.
256 - try to detect byte order at compile time, saves a couple of
257 hundred bytes, if your compiler is smart enough.
258 - add support for previewing the pasted data in confirm-paste
259 (Emanuele Giaquinta).
260 - added "newlines to spaces" option in selection-popup.
261 - actually enabled solaris event ports backend (was disabled by accident).
262 - revert to 38400 baud max., mission accomplished.
263 - no longer create scary "pty_fill: PLEASE REPORT" message, instead,
264 silently drain the input (problem is well understood now).
265 - no longer swallow rob nation's own graphics mode commands.
266
2679.10 Mon Dec 13 17:43:52 CET 2010
268 - the "schmorp=north korea dickey=south korea" release.
269 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: make OSC 20 simpler and more correct
270 (Emanuele Giaquinta).
271 - if options were compiled out, this could lead to the option
272 count to be defined wrongly. This is likely behind the
273 failures with gcc 4.5.
274 - explicitly depend on fontconfig and xrender when xft support
275 is enabled. Although the public Xft api uses types from
276 both, in Xft 2.2.0 these libs are private
277 dependencies only thanks to an idiotic behaviour of
278 pkg-config that was added to workaround cases like this one.
279 Fixes linking when using GNU ld with --as-needed or GNU gold
280 (based on patch by Jan Palus).
281 - fix minor memory leaks in urxvt and urxvtd.
282 - fix regression in urxvtd that prevented options from being correctly
283 set (reported by Michal Vaner).
284 - implement xterm's horribly broken 1005 mouse reporting mode,
285 and an alternative 1015 mode that works in non-utf-8 locales
286 and has fewer limitations.
287 - fix a possible bug where mouse notifications didn't work after
288 startup for the upper left corner.
289 - implement our own pixbuf to pixmap rendering to get rid of
290 dependency on buggy gdk-pixbuf-xlib. Only truecolor visuals
291 are supported (Emanuele Giaquinta).
292 - apply tinting before shading when both operations are requested.
293 Previously they were intermixed when lightening and the result
294 was inaccurate and confusing. Note that now a black tint yields a
295 completely black image, regardless of shading (Emanuele Giaquinta).
296 - avoid spurious redraws of the bg image when bg is transparent or
297 when using 'root' mode (Emanuele Giaquinta).
298 - fix build on XFree86.
299 - dynamically number options according to compiletime requirements.
300 For the extra saved byte. Or so. Yay.
301 - start options at one, not zero. Wastes a bit per terminal. Maybe.
302 saves 50 instruction bytes. Possibly.
303
3049.09 Sat Nov 13 01:39:07 CET 2010
305 - NOTICE: this release updates terminfo/termcap.
306 - the bestest release ever.
307 - it was verified that urxvt handles µ and μ correctly.
308 - add support for blending and blurring with XRender (Emanuele Giaquinta).
309 - add support for using gdk-pixbuf as image backend (Emanuele Giaquinta).
310 - cleanup and minor fixes of the image code (Emanuele Giaquinta).
311 - new perl extension "confirm-paste" (Emanuele Giaquinta).
312 - new on_tt_paste perl hook and tt_paste perl binding (Emanuele Giaquinta).
313 - new on_bell perl hook (Emanuele Giaquinta).
314 - searchable-scrollback no longer ignores the first line
315 (Emanuele Giaquinta).
316 - properly set VSTATUS in termios for *BSD (reported by Ed Schouten).
317 - fix utmpx detection on upcoming FreeBSD 9.
318 - Use COMPOUND_TEXT encoding for WM_NAME/WM_ICON_NAME value when it
319 is not fully convertible to STRING (patch by James Cloos).
320 - fix a buffer overflow that would cause wrong key sequences to
321 be generated for numpad keys (introduced in 9.05).
322 - fix definition of sgr0 to work around limitations in luit.
323 - extend ISO 14755 5.4 mode to also print the font name of the
324 characters other than first one in the selected cell
325 (Emanuele Giaquinta).
326 - new iso14755 option to disable ISO 14755 at runtime
327 (Emanuele Giaquinta).
328 - make sure pagewise scrolling scrolls at least one line
329 (found by Mikachu).
330 - remove deprecated OSC 18 / 19 and make OSC 17 / 19 apply to
331 highlightColor / highlightTextColor (Emanuele Giaquinta).
332 - add highlightTextColor resource to change the foreground colour of
333 highlighted characters (Emanuele Giaquinta).
334 - make highlightColor apply also to selected cells with reverse video
335 but not to non selected cells with reverse video (Emanuele Giaquinta).
336 - remove colorRV resource (it was enabled only with frills off).
337 - fix numlock handling, the most longstanding bug to date (Emanuele Giaquinta).
338 - reduce the number of custom bits to 4, to make room
339 for 256 colours.
340 - add support for 256 colors (Emanuele Giaquinta, Marc Lehmann).
341 - add rxvt-unicode-256color terminfo and use it by default in 256 colors mode.
342 - update rxvt-unicode terminfo to state 7744 colour pairs to cover all
343 88*88 possible pairs.
344 - actually added macosx-clipboard-native, which should have been in
345 the 9.07 release but had been forgotten.
346 - fix hang if DECAWM is not set and there are not enough columns to insert a
347 character (Emanuele Giaquinta).
348 - cub1 ("backspace") will now respect wrapping when past the rightmost column,
349 working around a shortcoming of most tty line discipline's line editing.
350 - add support for grabbing the clipboard selection and extend
351 selection{_clear,_grab,} perl bindings to optionally work
352 on the clipboard selection (based on patch by Dana Jansens).
353 - no longer force CERASE to BACKSPACE - use the system default. affects
354 default value for VERASE only when no compatible setting for
355 backspacekey was given.
356 - use higher than 38400 baudrate setting, if detected.
357 - erase screen would clear to the wrong background when blinking
358 was enabled (which selects high intensity under some circumstances).
359 - scr_kill_char didn't touch the line.
360 - upgrade and port to libev-4.01.
361 - enabled solaris event ports and kqueue backends (if available).
362
3639.07 Wed Dec 30 07:07:18 CET 2009
364 - port to glibc-2.10 changes (strchr etc. returning const char *
365 in C++), based on patches by Milos Jakubicek and Oliver Mader.
366 - the binary search algorithm to find precomposed characters
367 was faulty, skipping some possible combinations (found by
368 Mikachu).
369 - new -letterspace option, patch by Mark H. Wilkinson.
370 - enable --mlock option for urxvt with frills on
371 systems supporting it (patch by Russell Harmon).
372 - urxvt did not compile without frills enabled
373 (analysed by Matthew Rosewarne).
374 - correctly reset the mbstate after an illegal
375 input sequence when handling terminal output (Emanuele Giaquinta).
376 - avoid redrawing wide characters with combining enabled on every
377 refresh (reported by Mikachu).
378 - fix a typo preventing the ISO-646.1991 character set from being
379 recognized (http://achurch.org/patch-pile/).
380 - better warning for x11 font encoding detection failures, also,
381 try to deduce encoding from both font properties and name
382 (adapted from http://achurch.org/patch-pile/).
383 - resizing the window with the scrollbar disabled via the escapes
384 sequence could make the window bigger again (Mikachu).
385 - make sure the alignment for fd passing control messages
386 is correct and work around some NetBSD issues (Taylor R Campbell).
387 - update to libptytty 1.3.
388 - replace macosx-clipboard by a nicer version by Reza Jelveh, and move
389 the old version to macosx-clipboard-native.
390 - document the -uc option (Emanuele Giaquinta).
391 - assertions in libev are now enabled depending on frills.
392 - update AnyEvent implementation to version 5.23 API.
393 - work around arrogant bsd idiocies again: netbsd spills the default
394 namespace with lots of symbols "for gnu/gcc compatibility" even
395 though neither of them does it, and then calls the rest of the world
396 in need of fixing. go figure.
397 - on_keyboard_command is on_user_command (patch by Michael Witten).
398 - setting the selection from perl will now reset the selection screen
399 to the current screen. the screen can be manipulated using
400 the new ->selection_screen method.
401 - implement --enable-assert configure option and get rid of DEBUG_STRICT
402 (based on patch by Emanuele Giaquinta).

404 - allow `xxx' quoting style for perl selection.
405 - upgrade to libev-3.9 prerelease.
406 - updated compose tables to unicode 5.2.0.
407
4089.06 Sat Nov 8 17:47:18 CET 2008
409 - NOTICE: this release updates terminfo/termcap.
410 - updates libev to 3.48.
411 - the aterm code now frees the as visual and image manager objects
412 when a window was closed.
413 - do not (wrongly) adjust the virtual line length inside
414 scr_insdel_chars/ERASE (Miroslav Lichvar).
415 - fix an issue where wide tab characters caused character shifts
416 when part of them was deleted (tracked down by Miroslav Lichvar).
417 - artificially enlargen the previous character at the end of a line
418 when trying to output a character that doesn't fit. looks ugly, but
419 makes copy&paste work.
420 - remove bogus "setuid/setgid security issues" from rxvt.1.pod, they

431 the only known workaround.
432 - new option -icon to set _NET_WM_ICON (based on patch by Frank Schmitt).

442 tput init/tput reset, for older urxvts.

509 - stopping children is no longer confused with children exiting.
510 - removed (undocumented) #aarrggbb format.

534 text was visible.

536 some minor improvements.
537 - streamlined x events processing to only flush once per
538 display and not once per terminal window.
539 - quite a bit of minor code cleanups and codesize optimisations.
540
5418.7 Sun Nov 25 10:23:49 CET 2007
542 - update libev with an important bugfix that would cause crashes
543 when closing windows (when using rxvtd, and update is recommended).

548 seems to be broken everywhere else w.r.t. ptys.
