49 - libptytty is now an external dependency.
50 - enable confirm-paste extension by default, can be disabled by e.g.
51 URxvt.perl-ext: -confirm-paste
52 - Key bindings specified with the -keysym option or with resources of
53 the form URxvt*keysym work again. Such resources, as opposed to
54 resources of the form URxvt.keysym, were not officially allowed but
55 accepted, so ignoring them is considered a regression.
56 - new option/resource -rm/rewrapMode, which sets the line rewrap
57 mode to auto, never or always.
58 - new option/resource -dpb/disablePasteBrackets, which can be used to
59 disable bracketed paste mode sequences, as more and more programs
60 abuse these sequences (typically in the name of security, but these
61 sequences are not improving security). Also, bracketed paste mode
62 is now under frills.
63 - add manpage for urclock.
64 - confirm-paste wrongly considered brackets as ctrlchars (patch by
65 Jakub Wilk, debian bug #995244).
66 - if urxvt cannot detect a good estimate for font width (because a font does
67 not contain latin characters at all for example), it will now fall
68 back to xft's max_advance_width, which works well with some fonts. It
69 currently will warn about this.
70 - do not render variation selectors in the default font as boxes, treat
71 them as zero-width characters.
72 - change combining character architecture to allow fonts to handle
73 combining sequences on their own. This could allow future renderers
74 to be more intelligent about these sequences.
75 - use the previous enhancement to allow unicode characters outside of the
76 BMP to be rendered even without --enable-unicode3, as long as an
77 xft with the character is configured.
78 It's recommended to stay with disabled unicode3 even more now.
79 - freetype/xft have been verified to return nonsensical offsets for
80 combining characters. urxvt tries to compensate to some extent,
81 but diacritics will be slightly off in many cases, and far off in
82 some cases (e.g. input mono).
83 - when checking for overlap/careful handling, take non-basefont
84 character shifts into account.
85 - extensions can now request autoloading on OSC and Perl OSC sequences,
86 implement this for the background, clipboard-osc and overlay-osc
87 extensions.
88 - the background extension will now be autoloaded when the OSC 20 or 705
89 sequence is received.
90 - The view_start perl method now scrolls to the bottom also when the
91 argument is greater than 0.
92 - eval scroll actions now scroll to the bottom when scrolling down and
93 there are less lines to scroll than the ones requested (reported by
94 Stephen Talley).
95 - allow perl-ext and perl-ext-common to override autoloaded extensions.
96 this allows tabbed to disable itself in subtabs, avoiding recursive
97 loading.
98 - update precompose table to unicode 13.0.
99 - update charset conversion tables to perl 5.32 (this only affected
100 cs_koi8_u_from_unicode).
101 - unicode characters > 0x100000 were not handled correctly w.r.t.
102 font rendering.
103 - replace bitstream vera by dejavu sans, as it has replaced the former
104 almost everywhere.
105 - urxvt will now try tic -x first and only fall back to tic without -x
106 when tic -x fails.
107 - fix urclock not erasing the old date on the clock face, causing
108 overdraw, plus a host of other small fixes and improvements.
109 - shave off over 1K of code size from urclock by replacing the sine table
110 with a slightly less accurate fixed point approximation.
111 - do not specify indentation with =over in pod, this is no longer
112 needed with semi-modern pod tools and gives the formatter more
113 stylistic freedom.
114 - background extension did not set the "size-sensitive" flag
115 when repeat mode wasn't normal.
116 - extensions are now subjected to "use strict 'subs'".
117 - avoid crashing when xft successfully opens a font but then somehow
118 can't lock the face.
119 - locale_decode/encode api methods now pass through undef unchanged.
120
1219.26 Fri May 14 19:14:14 CEST 2021
122 - ev_iouring.c was wrongly required during compilation, and wrongly
123 not packaged.
124
1259.25 Fri May 14 15:51:36 CEST 2021
126 - for the 17.5th anniversary, and because many distributions seem to
127 remove rxvt in favour of urxvt, this release resurrects rclock as
128 urclock.
129 - add support for systemd socket-based activation - debian bug #917105,
130 freebsd bug #234276.
131 - do not destruct perl on exit anymore: this might fail for a variety of
132 reasons, and takes unnecessary time.
133 - remove any macros from urxvtperl manpage(s), should fix debian
134 bug 858385.
135 - the old bg image resources are now provided by the background
136 extension, and perl is thus required for bg image support. No
137 configuration change is needed: urxvt autoloads the background
138 ext if any bg image resource/option is present (for OSC sequences to
139 work you need to enable it explicitly). The old bg image
140 resources are also now deprecated; users are encouraged to
141 switch to the new bg image interface (see man urxvt-background).
142 - confirm-paste now checks for any ctlchars, not just newlines.
143 - searchable scrollback will now ignore bracketed paste mode sequences
144 (prompted by Daniel Gröber's patch).
145 - drop ISO 2022 locale support. ISO 2022 encodings are not supported in
146 POSIX locales and clash with vt100 charset emulation (the luit
147 program can be used as a substitute).
148 - perl didn't parse rgba colours specified as an array correctly,
149 only allowing 0 and 100% intensity for each component (this affected
150 fill and tint).
151 - when iterating over resources, urxvt will now try to properly handle
152 multipart resources (such as "*background.expr"), for the benefit
153 of autoloading perl extensions.
154 - ESC G (query rxvt graphics mode) has been disabled due to security
155 implications. The rxvt graphics mode was removed in rxvt-unicode 1.5,
156 and no programs relying on being able to query the mode are known.
157 - work around API change breakage in perl 5.28, based on a patch by
158 Roman Bogorodskiy.
159 - improved security: rob nation's (obsolete) graphics mode queries
160 no longer reply with linefeed in secure/default mode.
161 - ISO 8613-3 direct colour SGR sequences (patch by Fengguang Wu).
162 - xterm focus reporting mode (patch by Daniel Hahler).
163 - xterm SGR mouse mode.
164 - implement DECRQM. Patch by Přemysl Eric Janouch.
165 - add missing color index parameter to OSC 4 response. Patch
166 by Přemysl Eric Janouch.
167 - in some window managers, if smart resize was enabled, urxvt
168 erroneously moved the window on font change - awesome bug
169 #532, arch linux bug ##34807 (patch by Uli Schlachter).
170 - fix urxvtd crash when using a background expression.
171 - properly restore colors when using fading and reverse video
172 is enabled while urxvt is focused and then disabled while it
173 is not focused, or vice versa (patch by Daniel Hahler).
174 - fix high memory usage when an extension repeatedly hides and
175 shows an overlay (reported by Marcel Lautenbach).
176 - expose priv_modes member and constants to perl extensions
177 (patch by Rastislav Barlik).
178 - fix a whole slew of const sillyness, unfortunately forced upon
179 us by ISO C++.
180 - update to libecb 0x00010006.
181 - disable all thread support in ecb.h as we presumably don't need it.
182 - slightly improve Makefile source dependencies.
183 - work around bugs in newer Pod::Xhtml versions (flags incorrect formatting codes
184 in xhtml/html sections but does not interpret correct ones).
185
1869.22 Sat Jan 23 21:07:33 CET 2016
187 - NOTICE: this release updates terminfo.
188 - add terminfo capabilities for various ctrl and shift-ctrl key variants
189 (patch by Sebastian Schmidt).
190 - fix longstanding core font encoding bug where some character
191 ranges could not be mapped from unicode to the font: affected
192 encodings are big5, gb2312, iso8859-8 (hebrew), jis0201 and
193 ksc5601 (reported by Mikachu).
194 - fix crash when the number of columns is 1 and a 0 width character is inserted
195 (reported by Kuang-che Wu).
196 - fix a crash when parsing an invalid color specification (reported by Kuang-che Wu).
197 - fix a buffer overflow in font name parser (reported by Kuang-che Wu).
198 - do not start blinking cursor if the window is unfocused (reported by
199 Devin J. Pohly).
200 - change the width of underline and i-beam cursor to 2 pixels (based on
201 a patch by Omar Sandoval).
202 - add pointerShape resource to change the mouse pointer shape
203 (based on a patch by Brian Watson).
204 - a keysym resource for a key which is already bound to an
205 action now properly rebinds the key.
206 - do not report mouse motion events if Shift is active (patch by Daniel Hahler).
207 - put the alpha component last in responses to OSC color queries
208 (patch by Benjamin Herr).
209 - the key_press hook is now invoked before processing the
210 event, as documented. This change was done in 9.21 but not
211 announced and fixes debian bugs #511377, #531751 and red hat
212 bug #1105069. Note that this change breaks a few scripts,
213 such as mark-yank-urls, which rely on the previous buggy
214 behaviour that urxvt processes the event (in particular
215 keysym bindings) before invoking the hook.
216 - the tabbed extension now properly refreshes the active tab
217 on a key press when the mouse pointer is outside the terminal
218 window.
219 - add 'lookup_keysym' perl method to lookup the action bound
220 to a key combination.
221 - a key combination bound to 'matcher:select' can now be used
222 to cycle through the matches in matcher.
223 - change perl integer accessors (->width et al.) into mutators.
224
2259.21 Wed Dec 31 14:50:03 CET 2014
226 - the "moa redraw 8-bit british vintage colour management" release.

43 from cnorm (emacs uses cvvis which is commonly a blinking cursor). 231 from cnorm (emacs uses cvvis which is commonly a blinking cursor).
232 - when xft support was compiled in, colour queries erroneously returned
233 premultiplied values, this also affected internal queries, for example
234 when calculating faded colour. alpha is now divided out when possible,
235 which is more correct but loses colour resolution.
44 - add DECSCUSR xterm extension to set the cursor to a vertical bar. 236 - add DECSCUSR xterm extension to set the cursor to a vertical bar.
45 - add 'extension:string' action, and associated on_action perl 237 - add 'extension:string' action, and associated on_action perl
46 hook, for keysym resources that invokes actions provided by 238 hook, for keysym resources that invokes actions provided by
47 perl extensions. The 'perl:string' action and 239 perl extensions. The 'perl:string' action and
48 on_user_command hook are deprecated but still supported. 240 on_user_command hook are deprecated but still supported.
49 - add 'builtin-string' action for keysym resources that restores string 241 - add 'builtin-string' action for keysym resources that restores string
50 mappings for keys that have predefined actions in urxvt. 242 mappings for keys that have predefined actions in urxvt.
51 - add -k option to urxvtc for killing the daemon process. 243 - add -k option to urxvtc for killing the daemon process.
244 - document urxvtd's -e/--eval option that was implemented in 9.16,
245 but not documented.
52 - add -dockapp option to make the wm treat urxvt as a dockapp. 246 - add -dockapp option to make the wm treat urxvt as a dockapp.
53 - add -mc option and multiClickTime resource to set the maximum time 247 - add -mc option and multiClickTime resource to set the maximum time
54 between multi-click select events (patch by Joe Peterson). 248 between multi-click select events (patch by Joe Peterson).
55 - new 'eval' extension to evaluate arbitrary perl code with keysym 249 - new 'eval' extension to evaluate arbitrary perl code with keysym
56 bindings. The extension also provides methods that implement basic 250 bindings. The extension also provides methods that implement basic

73 way properly. 267 way properly.
74 - fix crash that may happen if a lib to which urxvt is linked to calls setenv. 268 - fix crash that may happen if a lib to which urxvt is linked to calls setenv.
75 - fix memory leak in special_{encode,decode} perl methods. 269 - fix memory leak in special_{encode,decode} perl methods.
76 - fix refresh bug that occurs when reverse video is set on a cell 270 - fix refresh bug that occurs when reverse video is set on a cell
77 containing a space and with the same bg and fg color, red hat bug 271 containing a space and with the same bg and fg colour, red hat bug
78 #830236. 272 #830236.
273 - fix crash that may happen if an x error is received after a terminal
274 window/popup has been destroyed already.
275 - removed superfluous 0 digit from sgr terminfo sequence.
276 - greatly improve colour allocation on colour-starved pseudocolour
277 displays to avoid read-write cells instead of simply failing
278 (this is only relevant for antique 8bpp frame buffers).
279 - do not free fade colours when not doing fading (this is likely
280 only relevant for antique 8bpp frame buffers).
281 - do not specialcase 2 or 4 colour visuals, leading to
282 simpler and actually more correct code.
283 - hopefully no longer leak colours on !truecolour visuals.
284 - use consistent method names (scr_recolour => scr_recolor).
285 - use simpler (but slightly less bogus) formula for nearest
286 colour choice (this is likely only relevant for antique 8bpp
287 frame buffers).
288 - remove fallback behaviour when initialising colours - the
289 behaviour was inconsistent between startup vs. later and
290 was only effective when valid colours couldn't be allocated.
