51 - allow URxvt*keysym to match again. The fact that it was ignored
52 is considered a regression due in the way we checked for keysym
53 resources.
54 - Key bindings specified with the -keysym option or with resources of
55 the form URxvt*keysym work again. Such resources, as opposed to
56 resources of the form URxvt.keysym, were not officially allowed but
57 accepted, so ignoring them is considered a regression.
58 - new option/resource -rm/rewrapMode, which sets the line rewrap
59 mode to auto, never or always.
60 - new option/resource -dpb/disablePasteBrackets, which can be used to
61 disable bracketed paste mode sequences, as more and more programs
62 abuse these sequences (typically in the name of security, but these
63 sequences are not improving security). Also, bracketed paste mode
64 is now under frills.
65 - enable confirm-paste extension by default, can be disabled by e.g.
66 URxvt.perl-ext: -confirm-paste
67 - eval scroll actions now scroll to the bottom when scrolling down and
68 there are less lines to scroll than the ones requested (patch by
69 Stephen Talley).
70 - if urxvt cannot detect a good estimate for font width (because a font does
71 not contain latin characters at all for example), it will now fall
72 back to xft's max_advance_width, which works well with some fonts. It
73 currently will warn about this.
74 - do not render variation selectors in the default font as boxes, treat
75 them as zero-width characters.
76 - change combining character architecture to allow fonts to handle
77 combining sequences on their own. This could allow future renderers
78 to be more intelligent about these sequences.
79 - use the previous enhancement to allow unicode characters outside of the
80 BMP to be rendered even without --enable-unicode3, as long as an
81 xft with the character is configured.
82 It's recommended to stay with disabled unicode3 even more now.
83 - freetype/xft have been verified to return nonsensical offsets for
84 combining characters. urxvt tries to compensate to some extent,
85 but diacritics will be slightly off in many cases, and far off in
86 some cases (e.g. input mono).
87 - when checking for overlap/careful handling, take non-basefont
88 character shifts into account.
89 - allow perl-ext and perl-ext-common to override autoloaded extensions.
90 this allows tabbed to disable itself in subtabs, avoiding recursive
91 loading.
92 - update precompose table to unicode 13.0.
93 - update charset conversion tables to perl 5.32 (this only affected
94 cs_koi8_u_from_unicode).
95 - unicode characters > 0x100000 were not handled correctly w.r.t.
96 font rendering.
97 - replace bitstream vera by dejavu sans, as it has replaced the former
98 almost everywhere.
99
1009.26 Fri May 14 19:14:14 CEST 2021
101 - ev_iouring.c was wrongly required during compilation, and wrongly
102 not packaged.
103
1049.25 Fri May 14 15:51:36 CEST 2021
105 - for the 17.5th anniversary, and because many distributions seem to
106 remove rxvt in favour of urxvt, this release resurrects rclock as
107 urclock.
108 - add support for systemd socket-based activation - debian bug #917105,
109 freebsd bug #234276.
110 - do not destruct perl on exit anymore: this might fail for a variety of
111 reasons, and takes unnecessary time.
112 - remove any macros from urxvtperl manpage(s), should fix debian
113 bug 858385.
114 - the old bg image resources are now provided by the background
115 extension, and perl is thus required for bg image support. No
116 configuration change is needed: urxvt autoloads the background
117 ext if any bg image resource/option is present (for OSC sequences to
118 work you need to enable it explicitly). The old bg image
119 resources are also now deprecated; users are encouraged to
120 switch to the new bg image interface (see man urxvt-background).
121 - confirm-paste now checks for any ctlchars, not just newlines.
122 - searchable scrollback will now ignore bracketed paste mode sequences
123 (prompted by Daniel Gröber's patch).
124 - drop ISO 2022 locale support. ISO 2022 encodings are not supported in
125 POSIX locales and clash with vt100 charset emulation (the luit
126 program can be used as a substitute).
127 - perl didn't parse rgba colours specified as an array correctly,
128 only allowing 0 and 100% intensity for each component (this affected
129 fill and tint).
130 - when iterating over resources, urxvt will now try to properly handle
131 multipart resources (such as "*background.expr"), for the benefit
132 of autoloading perl extensions.
133 - ESC G (query rxvt graphics mode) has been disabled due to security
134 implications. The rxvt graphics mode was removed in rxvt-unicode 1.5,
135 and no programs relying on being able to query the mode are known.
136 - work around API change breakage in perl 5.28, based on a patch by
137 Roman Bogorodskiy.
138 - improved security: rob nation's (obsolete) graphics mode queries
139 no longer reply with linefeed in secure/default mode.
140 - ISO 8613-3 direct colour SGR sequences (patch by Fengguang Wu).
141 - xterm focus reporting mode (patch by Daniel Hahler).
142 - xterm SGR mouse mode.
143 - implement DECRQM. Patch by Přemysl Eric Janouch.
144 - add missing color index parameter to OSC 4 response. Patch
145 by Přemysl Eric Janouch.
146 - in some window managers, if smart resize was enabled, urxvt
147 erroneously moved the window on font change - awesome bug
148 #532, arch linux bug ##34807 (patch by Uli Schlachter).
149 - fix urxvtd crash when using a background expression.
150 - properly restore colors when using fading and reverse video
151 is enabled while urxvt is focused and then disabled while it
152 is not focused, or vice versa (patch by Daniel Hahler).
153 - fix high memory usage when an extension repeatedly hides and
154 shows an overlay (reported by Marcel Lautenbach).
155 - expose priv_modes member and constants to perl extensions
156 (patch by Rastislav Barlik).
157 - fix a whole slew of const sillyness, unfortunately forced upon
158 us by ISO C++.
159 - update to libecb 0x00010006.
160 - disable all thread support in ecb.h as we presumably don't need it.
161 - slightly improve Makefile source dependencies.
162 - work around bugs in newer Pod::Xhtml versions (flags incorrect formatting codes
163 in xhtml/html sections but does not interpret correct ones).
164
1659.22 Sat Jan 23 21:07:33 CET 2016
166 - NOTICE: this release updates terminfo.
167 - add terminfo capabilities for various ctrl and shift-ctrl key variants
168 (patch by Sebastian Schmidt).
169 - fix longstanding core font encoding bug where some character
170 ranges could not be mapped from unicode to the font: affected
171 encodings are big5, gb2312, iso8859-8 (hebrew), jis0201 and
172 ksc5601 (reported by Mikachu).
173 - fix crash when the number of columns is 1 and a 0 width character is inserted
174 (reported by Kuang-che Wu).
175 - fix a crash when parsing an invalid color specification (reported by Kuang-che Wu).
176 - fix a buffer overflow in font name parser (reported by Kuang-che Wu).
177 - do not start blinking cursor if the window is unfocused (reported by
178 Devin J. Pohly).
179 - change the width of underline and i-beam cursor to 2 pixels (based on
180 a patch by Omar Sandoval).
181 - add pointerShape resource to change the mouse pointer shape
182 (based on a patch by Brian Watson).
183 - a keysym resource for a key which is already bound to an
184 action now properly rebinds the key.
185 - do not report mouse motion events if Shift is active (patch by Daniel Hahler).
186 - put the alpha component last in responses to OSC color queries
187 (patch by Benjamin Herr).
188 - the key_press hook is now invoked before processing the
189 event, as documented. This change was done in 9.21 but not
190 announced and fixes debian bugs #511377, #531751 and red hat
191 bug #1105069. Note that this change breaks a few scripts,
192 such as mark-yank-urls, which rely on the previous buggy
193 behaviour that urxvt processes the event (in particular
194 keysym bindings) before invoking the hook.
195 - the tabbed extension now properly refreshes the active tab
196 on a key press when the mouse pointer is outside the terminal
197 window.
198 - add 'lookup_keysym' perl method to lookup the action bound
199 to a key combination.
200 - a key combination bound to 'matcher:select' can now be used
201 to cycle through the matches in matcher.
202 - change perl integer accessors (->width et al.) into mutators.
203
2049.21 Wed Dec 31 14:50:03 CET 2014
205 - the "moa redraw 8-bit british vintage colour management" release.
40 - NOTICE: this release updates terminfo. 206 - NOTICE: this release updates terminfo.
41 - fix pixel droppings on overdraw when a secondary core font has the 207 - fix pixel droppings on overdraw when a secondary core font has the
42 same height but different ascent. 208 same height but different ascent.
43 - implement cvvis in terminfo as blinking cursor, to distinguish it 209 - implement cvvis in terminfo as blinking cursor, to distinguish it
44 from cnorm (emacs uses cvvis which is commonly a blinking cursor). 210 from cnorm (emacs uses cvvis which is commonly a blinking cursor).
211 - when xft support was compiled in, colour queries erroneously returned
212 premultiplied values, this also affected internal queries, for example
213 when calculating faded colour. alpha is now divided out when possible,
214 which is more correct but loses colour resolution.
45 - add DECSCUSR xterm extension to set the cursor to a vertical bar. 215 - add DECSCUSR xterm extension to set the cursor to a vertical bar.
46 - add 'extension:string' action, and associated on_action perl 216 - add 'extension:string' action, and associated on_action perl
47 hook, for keysym resources that invokes actions provided by 217 hook, for keysym resources that invokes actions provided by
48 perl extensions. The 'perl:string' action and 218 perl extensions. The 'perl:string' action and
49 on_user_command hook are deprecated but still supported. 219 on_user_command hook are deprecated but still supported.
50 - add 'builtin-string' action for keysym resources that restores string 220 - add 'builtin-string' action for keysym resources that restores string
51 mappings for keys that have predefined actions in urxvt. 221 mappings for keys that have predefined actions in urxvt.
52 - add -k option to urxvtc for killing the daemon process. 222 - add -k option to urxvtc for killing the daemon process.
223 - document urxvtd's -e/--eval option that was implemented in 9.16,
224 but not documented.
53 - add -dockapp option to make the wm treat urxvt as a dockapp. 225 - add -dockapp option to make the wm treat urxvt as a dockapp.
54 - add -mc option and multiClickTime resource to set the maximum time 226 - add -mc option and multiClickTime resource to set the maximum time
55 between multi-click select events (patch by Joe Peterson). 227 between multi-click select events (patch by Joe Peterson).
56 - new 'eval' extension to evaluate arbitrary perl code with keysym 228 - new 'eval' extension to evaluate arbitrary perl code with keysym
57 bindings. The extension also provides methods that implement basic 229 bindings. The extension also provides methods that implement basic
73 - fix off-by-one bug causing the iso14755 window not to jump out of the 245 - fix off-by-one bug causing the iso14755 window not to jump out of the
74 way properly. 246 way properly.
75 - fix crash that may happen if a lib to which urxvt is linked to calls setenv. 247 - fix crash that may happen if a lib to which urxvt is linked to calls setenv.
76 - fix memory leak in special_{encode,decode} perl methods. 248 - fix memory leak in special_{encode,decode} perl methods.
77 - fix refresh bug that occurs when reverse video is set on a cell 249 - fix refresh bug that occurs when reverse video is set on a cell
78 containing a space and with the same bg and fg color, red hat bug 250 containing a space and with the same bg and fg colour, red hat bug
79 #830236. 251 #830236.
80 - fix crash that may happen if an x error is received after a terminal 252 - fix crash that may happen if an x error is received after a terminal
81 window/popup has bene destryoed already. 253 window/popup has been destroyed already.
254 - removed superfluous 0 digit from sgr terminfo sequence.
255 - greatly improve colour allocation on colour-starved pseudocolour
256 displays to avoid read-write cells instead of simply failing
257 (this is only relevant for antique 8bpp frame buffers).
258 - do not free fade colours when not doing fading (this is likely
259 only relevant for antique 8bpp frame buffers).
260 - do not specialcase 2 or 4 colour visuals, leading to
261 simpler and actually more correct code.
262 - hopefully no longer leak colours on !truecolour visuals.
263 - use consistent method names (scr_recolour => scr_recolor).
264 - use simpler (but slightly less bogus) formula for nearest
265 colour choice (this is likely only relevant for antique 8bpp
266 frame buffers).
267 - remove fallback behaviour when initialising colours - the
268 behaviour was inconsistent between startup vs. later and
269 was only effective when valid colours couldn't be allocated.
