50
51 - implement a fix for CVE-2022-4170 (reported and analyzed by David Leadbeater).
52 While present in version 9.30, it should not be exploitable. It is exploitable
53 in versions 9.25 and 9.26, at least, and allows anybody controlling output to
54 the terminal to execute arbitrary code in the urxvt process.
55 - the background extension no longer requires off focus fading support
56 to be compiled in.
57 - the confirm-paste extension now offers a choice betwene pasting the original
58 or a sanitized version, and also frees up memory used to store the paste text
59 immediately.
60 - fix compiling without frills.
61 - fix rewrapMode: never.
62 - fix regression that caused urxvt to no longer emit responses
63 to OSC color queries other than OSC 4 ones.
64 - fix regression that caused urxvt to no longer process OSC 705.
65 - restore CENTURY to be 1900 to "improve" year parsing in urclock (or at
66 least go back to the old interpretation) (based on an analysis
67 by Tommy Pettersson).
68 - exec_async (used e.g. by the matcher extension to spawn processes) now
69 sets the URXVT_EXT_WINDOWID variable to the window id of the terminal.
70 - implement -fps option/refreshRate resource to change the default 60 Hz
71 maximum refresh limiter. I always wanted an fps option, but had to
72 wait for a user requesting it.
73 - new clickthrough extension.
74 - perl now also requires Xext.
75 - X region and shape extension functionality has been exposed to perl
76 extensions.
77 - RENDER extension no longer depends on ENABLE_XIM_ONTHESPOT.
78
799.30 Sat 27 Nov 2021 21:07:09 CET
80 - the background extension did not initialise properly when automatically
81 loaded via the OSC.
82 - new "on_attach" hook type implemented, to initialise late-loading
83 extensions.
84
859.29 Mon 22 Nov 2021 18:07:14 CET
86 - libptytty (http://dist.schmorp.de/libptytty/) is now a required
87 external dependency.
88 - enable confirm-paste extension by default, can be disabled by e.g.
89 URxvt.perl-ext: -confirm-paste
90 - Key bindings specified with the -keysym option or with resources of
91 the form URxvt*keysym work again. Such resources, as opposed to
92 resources of the form URxvt.keysym, were not officially allowed but
93 accepted, so ignoring them is considered a regression.
94 - new option/resource -rm/rewrapMode, which sets the line rewrap
95 mode to auto, never or always.
96 - new option/resource -dpb/disablePasteBrackets, which can be used to
97 disable bracketed paste mode sequences, as more and more programs
98 abuse these sequences (typically in the name of security, but these
99 sequences are not improving security). Also, bracketed paste mode
100 is now under frills.
101 - add manpage for urclock.
102 - confirm-paste wrongly considered brackets as ctrlchars (patch by
103 Jakub Wilk, debian bug #995244).
104 - if urxvt cannot detect a good estimate for font width (because a font does
105 not contain latin characters at all for example), it will now fall
106 back to xft's max_advance_width, which works well with some fonts. It
107 currently will warn about this.
108 - do not render variation selectors in the default font as boxes, treat
109 them as zero-width characters.
110 - change combining character architecture to allow fonts to handle
111 combining sequences on their own. This could allow future renderers
112 to be more intelligent about these sequences.
113 - use the previous enhancement to allow unicode characters outside of the
114 BMP to be rendered even without --enable-unicode3, as long as an
115 xft with the character is configured.
116 It's recommended to stay with disabled unicode3 even more now.
117 - freetype/xft have been verified to return nonsensical offsets for
118 combining characters. urxvt tries to compensate to some extent,
119 but diacritics will be slightly off in many cases, and far off in
120 some cases (e.g. input mono).
121 - when checking for overlap/careful handling, take non-basefont
122 character shifts into account.
123 - extensions can now request autoloading on OSC and Perl OSC sequences,
124 implement this for the background, clipboard-osc and overlay-osc
125 extensions.
126 - the background extension will now be autoloaded when the OSC 20 or 705
127 sequence is received.
128 - added OSC 776 sequence to return character cell width, height and font
129 ascent, which is useful when using urxvt as slave to calculate window
130 size form or to row/column count.
131 - matcher extension documentation now points out some requirements for
132 regular expressions. the default url matching regex will now try
133 to match IRLs in addition to URLs.
134 - The view_start perl method now scrolls to the bottom also when the
135 argument is greater than 0.
136 - eval scroll actions now scroll to the bottom when scrolling down and
137 there are less lines to scroll than the ones requested (reported by
138 Stephen Talley).
139 - allow perl-ext and perl-ext-common to override autoloaded extensions.
140 this allows tabbed to disable itself in subtabs, avoiding recursive
141 loading.
142 - update precompose table to unicode 13.0.
143 - update charset conversion tables to perl 5.32 (this only affected
144 cs_koi8_u_from_unicode).
145 - unicode characters > 0x100000 were not handled correctly w.r.t.
146 font rendering.
147 - replace bitstream vera by dejavu sans, as it has replaced the former
148 almost everywhere.
149 - urxvt will now try tic -x first and only fall back to tic without -x
150 when tic -x fails.
151 - fix urclock not erasing the old date on the clock face, causing
152 overdraw, plus a host of other small fixes and improvements.
153 - shave off over 1K of code size from urclock by replacing the sine table
154 with a slightly less accurate fixed point approximation.
155 - do not specify indentation with =over in pod, this is no longer
156 needed with semi-modern pod tools and gives the formatter more
157 stylistic freedom.
158 - background extension did not set the "size-sensitive" flag
159 when repeat mode wasn't normal.
160 - extensions are now subjected to "use strict 'subs'".
161 - avoid crashing when xft successfully opens a font but then somehow
162 can't lock the face.
163 - locale_decode/encode api methods now pass through undef unchanged.
164 - fix undefined behaviour in the perl hook function, as diagnosed by clang.
165
1669.26 Fri May 14 19:14:14 CEST 2021
167 - ev_iouring.c was wrongly required during compilation, and wrongly
168 not packaged.
169
1709.25 Fri May 14 15:51:36 CEST 2021
171 - for the 17.5th anniversary, and because many distributions seem to
172 remove rxvt in favour of urxvt, this release resurrects rclock as
173 urclock.
174 - add support for systemd socket-based activation - debian bug #917105,
175 freebsd bug #234276.
176 - do not destruct perl on exit anymore: this might fail for a variety of
177 reasons, and takes unnecessary time.
178 - remove any macros from urxvtperl manpage(s), should fix debian
179 bug 858385.
180 - the old bg image resources are now provided by the background
181 extension, and perl is thus required for bg image support. No
182 configuration change is needed: urxvt autoloads the background
183 ext if any bg image resource/option is present (for OSC sequences to
184 work you need to enable it explicitly). The old bg image
185 resources are also now deprecated; users are encouraged to
186 switch to the new bg image interface (see man urxvt-background).
187 - confirm-paste now checks for any ctlchars, not just newlines.
188 - searchable scrollback will now ignore bracketed paste mode sequences
189 (prompted by Daniel Gröber's patch).
190 - drop ISO 2022 locale support. ISO 2022 encodings are not supported in
191 POSIX locales and clash with vt100 charset emulation (the luit
192 program can be used as a substitute).
193 - perl didn't parse rgba colours specified as an array correctly,
194 only allowing 0 and 100% intensity for each component (this affected
195 fill and tint).
196 - when iterating over resources, urxvt will now try to properly handle
197 multipart resources (such as "*background.expr"), for the benefit
198 of autoloading perl extensions.
199 - ESC G (query rxvt graphics mode) has been disabled due to security
200 implications. The rxvt graphics mode was removed in rxvt-unicode 1.5,
201 and no programs relying on being able to query the mode are known.
202 - work around API change breakage in perl 5.28, based on a patch by
203 Roman Bogorodskiy.
204 - improved security: rob nation's (obsolete) graphics mode queries
205 no longer reply with linefeed in secure/default mode.
206 - ISO 8613-3 direct colour SGR sequences (patch by Fengguang Wu).
207 - xterm focus reporting mode (patch by Daniel Hahler).
208 - xterm SGR mouse mode.
209 - implement DECRQM. Patch by Přemysl Eric Janouch.
210 - add missing color index parameter to OSC 4 response. Patch
211 by Přemysl Eric Janouch.
212 - in some window managers, if smart resize was enabled, urxvt
213 erroneously moved the window on font change - awesome bug
214 #532, arch linux bug ##34807 (patch by Uli Schlachter).
215 - fix urxvtd crash when using a background expression.
216 - properly restore colors when using fading and reverse video
217 is enabled while urxvt is focused and then disabled while it
218 is not focused, or vice versa (patch by Daniel Hahler).
219 - fix high memory usage when an extension repeatedly hides and
220 shows an overlay (reported by Marcel Lautenbach).
221 - expose priv_modes member and constants to perl extensions
222 (patch by Rastislav Barlik).
223 - fix a whole slew of const sillyness, unfortunately forced upon
224 us by ISO C++.
225 - update to libecb 0x00010006.
226 - disable all thread support in ecb.h as we presumably don't need it.
227 - slightly improve Makefile source dependencies.
228 - work around bugs in newer Pod::Xhtml versions (flags incorrect formatting codes
229 in xhtml/html sections but does not interpret correct ones).
230
2319.22 Sat Jan 23 21:07:33 CET 2016
232 - NOTICE: this release updates terminfo.
233 - add terminfo capabilities for various ctrl and shift-ctrl key variants
234 (patch by Sebastian Schmidt).
235 - fix longstanding core font encoding bug where some character
236 ranges could not be mapped from unicode to the font: affected
237 encodings are big5, gb2312, iso8859-8 (hebrew), jis0201 and
238 ksc5601 (reported by Mikachu).
239 - fix crash when the number of columns is 1 and a 0 width character is inserted
240 (reported by Kuang-che Wu).
241 - fix a crash when parsing an invalid color specification (reported by Kuang-che Wu).
242 - fix a buffer overflow in font name parser (reported by Kuang-che Wu).
243 - do not start blinking cursor if the window is unfocused (reported by
244 Devin J. Pohly).
245 - change the width of underline and i-beam cursor to 2 pixels (based on
246 a patch by Omar Sandoval).
247 - add pointerShape resource to change the mouse pointer shape
248 (based on a patch by Brian Watson).
249 - a keysym resource for a key which is already bound to an
250 action now properly rebinds the key.
251 - do not report mouse motion events if Shift is active (patch by Daniel Hahler).
252 - put the alpha component last in responses to OSC color queries
253 (patch by Benjamin Herr).
254 - the key_press hook is now invoked before processing the
255 event, as documented. This change was done in 9.21 but not
256 announced and fixes debian bugs #511377, #531751 and red hat
257 bug #1105069. Note that this change breaks a few scripts,
258 such as mark-yank-urls, which rely on the previous buggy
259 behaviour that urxvt processes the event (in particular
260 keysym bindings) before invoking the hook.
261 - the tabbed extension now properly refreshes the active tab
262 on a key press when the mouse pointer is outside the terminal
263 window.
264 - add 'lookup_keysym' perl method to lookup the action bound
265 to a key combination.
266 - a key combination bound to 'matcher:select' can now be used
267 to cycle through the matches in matcher.
268 - change perl integer accessors (->width et al.) into mutators.
269 - this version has ben verified to work with perl 5.8.3.
270
2719.21 Wed Dec 31 14:50:03 CET 2014
272 - the "moa redraw 8-bit british vintage colour management" release.
273 - NOTICE: this release updates terminfo.
274 - fix pixel droppings on overdraw when a secondary core font has the
275 same height but different ascent.
276 - implement cvvis in terminfo as blinking cursor, to distinguish it
277 from cnorm (emacs uses cvvis which is commonly a blinking cursor).
278 - when xft support was compiled in, colour queries erroneously returned
279 premultiplied values, this also affected internal queries, for example
280 when calculating faded colour. alpha is now divided out when possible,
281 which is more correct but loses colour resolution.
43 - Add DECSCUSR xterm extension to set the cursor to a vertical bar. 282 - add DECSCUSR xterm extension to set the cursor to a vertical bar.
283 - add 'extension:string' action, and associated on_action perl
284 hook, for keysym resources that invokes actions provided by
285 perl extensions. The 'perl:string' action and
286 on_user_command hook are deprecated but still supported.
287 - add 'builtin-string' action for keysym resources that restores string
288 mappings for keys that have predefined actions in urxvt.
289 - add -k option to urxvtc for killing the daemon process.
290 - document urxvtd's -e/--eval option that was implemented in 9.16,
291 but not documented.
292 - add -dockapp option to make the wm treat urxvt as a dockapp.
44 - Add -mc option and multiClickTime resource to set the maximum time 293 - add -mc option and multiClickTime resource to set the maximum time
45 between multi-click select events (patch by Joe Peterson). 294 between multi-click select events (patch by Joe Peterson).
46 - New 'eval' extension to evaluate arbitrary perl code with keysym 295 - new 'eval' extension to evaluate arbitrary perl code with keysym
47 bindings. The extension also provides methods that implement basic 296 bindings. The extension also provides methods that implement basic
48 actions, such as pasting selections and scrolling. 297 actions, such as pasting selections and scrolling.
49 - the macosx-clipboard and macosx-clipboard-native extensions have been removed. 298 - the macosx-clipboard and macosx-clipboard-native extensions have been removed.
50 - the keysym-list extension has been removed, you can use the following
51 perl one-liner to expand your existing .Xdefaults file to do without it:
52 - kuake extension now uses the kuake.hotkey resource to specify the hotkey. 299 - kuake extension now uses the kuake.hotkey resource to specify the hotkey.
53 - new 'matcher:select' mode of matcher to iterate over the matches with the keyboard. 300 - new 'matcher:select' mode of matcher to iterate over the matches with the keyboard.
54 - the 'matcher:list' feature of matcher now honours the launcher 301 - the 'matcher:list' feature of matcher now honours the launcher
55 associated to a matched pattern. 302 associated to a matched pattern.
303 - speed-up matcher underlining on very long lines (reported by Edward Z. Yang).
56 - fix up/down commands of searchable scrollback so that they always move 304 - fix up/down commands of searchable-scrollback so that they always move
57 to the previous/next logical line with a match, if any. 305 to the previous/next logical line with a match, if any.
58 - searchable-scrollback resource has been deprecated (use keysym instead). 306 - searchable-scrollback resource has been deprecated (use keysym instead).
59 - extension parameter passing is deprecated (use resource mechanism instead). 307 - extension parameter passing is deprecated (use resource mechanism instead).
60 - upgrade to GPLv3 (see COPYING). 308 - upgrade to GPLv3 (see COPYING).
309 - compile out of the box on Solaris 10, again.
61 - Fix height and position of the stippled area in next scrollbar (patch 310 - fix height and position of the stippled area in next scrollbar (patch
62 by Thomas Otto). 311 by Thomas Otto).
63 - fix off-by-one bug causing the iso14755 window not to jump out of the 312 - fix off-by-one bug causing the iso14755 window not to jump out of the
64 way properly. 313 way properly.
314 - fix crash that may happen if a lib to which urxvt is linked to calls setenv.
315 - fix memory leak in special_{encode,decode} perl methods.
316 - fix refresh bug that occurs when reverse video is set on a cell
317 containing a space and with the same bg and fg colour, red hat bug
318 #830236.
319 - fix crash that may happen if an x error is received after a terminal
320 window/popup has been destroyed already.
321 - removed superfluous 0 digit from sgr terminfo sequence.
322 - greatly improve colour allocation on colour-starved pseudocolour
323 displays to avoid read-write cells instead of simply failing
324 (this is only relevant for antique 8bpp frame buffers).
325 - do not free fade colours when not doing fading (this is likely
326 only relevant for antique 8bpp frame buffers).
327 - do not specialcase 2 or 4 colour visuals, leading to
328 simpler and actually more correct code.
329 - hopefully no longer leak colours on !truecolour visuals.
330 - use consistent method names (scr_recolour => scr_recolor).
331 - use simpler (but slightly less bogus) formula for nearest
332 colour choice (this is likely only relevant for antique 8bpp
333 frame buffers).
334 - remove fallback behaviour when initialising colours - the
335 behaviour was inconsistent between startup vs. later and
336 was only effective when valid colours couldn't be allocated.
