5403:32:26 <BlueFish> Hi. I think I found a bug in special_encode in rxvtperl.xs
5503:33:37 <BlueFish> special_encode('لا') or any other string that contains 'لا' returns a disturbed string
5603:33:40 <schmorp> hi BlueFish
5703:34:10 <schmorp> whats a disturbed string?
5803:34:25 <BlueFish> for example سلام becomes ملام
5903:35:05 <BlueFish> see this issue: https://github.com/mkamensky/Text-Bidi/issues/10 I was trying to fix it
60 and after playing around for a while found out that special_encode is causing the problem
6103:35:36 <schmorp> does this happen when you compile without --enable-combining (or with --disable-combining)?
6203:37:40 <BlueFish> I don't know the one that I installed from my distro repository has this flag or not. Is
63 there anyway to check?
6403:38:49 <schmorp> rxvt --help will output a options: line at the top, whioch will list "combining"
6503:39:10 <schmorp> anyway, I don't think i will understand this at my current tiredness level, I'll have a
66 look when I have time
6703:39:26 <schmorp> are you usually around on this network, so I coulöd ask you in cas eI have questions?
6803:40:25 <BlueFish> yes combining is enabled. No I don't check IRC that much. You can reach me via email
6903:40:44 <schmorp> ok, thats fine

72 - implement a fix for CVE-2022-4170 (reported and analyzed by David Leadbeater).
73 While present in version 9.30, it should not be exploitable. It is exploitable
74 in versions 9.25 and 9.26, at least, and allows anybody controlling terminal
75 input to execute arbitrary code in the urxvt process.
76 - the background extension no longer requires off focus fading support
77 to be compiled in.
78 - fix compiling without frills.
79 - fix rewrapMode: never.
80 - fix regression that caused urxvt to no longer emit responses
81 to OSC color queries other than OSC 4 ones.
82 - fix regression that caused urxvt to no longer process OSC 705.
83 - exec_async (used e.g. by the matcher extension to spawn processes) now
84 sets the URXVT_EXT_WINDOWID variable to the window id opf the terminal.
85 - implement -fps option/refreshRate resource to change the default 60 Hz
86 maximum refresh limiter. I always wanted an fps option, but had to
87 wait for a user requesting it.
88
899.30 Sat 27 Nov 2021 21:07:09 CET
90 - the background extension did not initialise properly when automatically
91 loaded via the OSC.
92 - new "on_attach" hook type implemented, to initialise late-loading
93 extensions.
94
959.29 Mon 22 Nov 2021 18:07:14 CET
96 - libptytty (http://dist.schmorp.de/libptytty/) is now a required
97 external dependency.
98 - enable confirm-paste extension by default, can be disabled by e.g.
99 URxvt.perl-ext: -confirm-paste
100 - Key bindings specified with the -keysym option or with resources of
101 the form URxvt*keysym work again. Such resources, as opposed to
102 resources of the form URxvt.keysym, were not officially allowed but
103 accepted, so ignoring them is considered a regression.
104 - new option/resource -rm/rewrapMode, which sets the line rewrap
105 mode to auto, never or always.
106 - new option/resource -dpb/disablePasteBrackets, which can be used to
107 disable bracketed paste mode sequences, as more and more programs
108 abuse these sequences (typically in the name of security, but these
109 sequences are not improving security). Also, bracketed paste mode
110 is now under frills.
111 - add manpage for urclock.
112 - confirm-paste wrongly considered brackets as ctrlchars (patch by
113 Jakub Wilk, debian bug #995244).
114 - if urxvt cannot detect a good estimate for font width (because a font does
115 not contain latin characters at all for example), it will now fall
116 back to xft's max_advance_width, which works well with some fonts. It
117 currently will warn about this.
118 - do not render variation selectors in the default font as boxes, treat
119 them as zero-width characters.
120 - change combining character architecture to allow fonts to handle
121 combining sequences on their own. This could allow future renderers
122 to be more intelligent about these sequences.
123 - use the previous enhancement to allow unicode characters outside of the
124 BMP to be rendered even without --enable-unicode3, as long as an
125 xft with the character is configured.
126 It's recommended to stay with disabled unicode3 even more now.
127 - freetype/xft have been verified to return nonsensical offsets for
128 combining characters. urxvt tries to compensate to some extent,
129 but diacritics will be slightly off in many cases, and far off in
130 some cases (e.g. input mono).
131 - when checking for overlap/careful handling, take non-basefont
132 character shifts into account.
133 - extensions can now request autoloading on OSC and Perl OSC sequences,
134 implement this for the background, clipboard-osc and overlay-osc
135 extensions.
136 - the background extension will now be autoloaded when the OSC 20 or 705
137 sequence is received.
138 - added OSC 776 sequence to return character cell width, height and font
139 ascent, which is useful when using urxvt as slave to calculate window
140 size form or to row/column count.
141 - matcher extension documentation now points out some requirements for
142 regular expressions. the default url matching regex will now try
143 to match IRLs in addition to URLs.
144 - The view_start perl method now scrolls to the bottom also when the
145 argument is greater than 0.
146 - eval scroll actions now scroll to the bottom when scrolling down and
147 there are less lines to scroll than the ones requested (reported by
148 Stephen Talley).
149 - allow perl-ext and perl-ext-common to override autoloaded extensions.
150 this allows tabbed to disable itself in subtabs, avoiding recursive
151 loading.
152 - update precompose table to unicode 13.0.
153 - update charset conversion tables to perl 5.32 (this only affected
154 cs_koi8_u_from_unicode).
155 - unicode characters > 0x100000 were not handled correctly w.r.t.
156 font rendering.
157 - replace bitstream vera by dejavu sans, as it has replaced the former
158 almost everywhere.
159 - urxvt will now try tic -x first and only fall back to tic without -x
160 when tic -x fails.
161 - fix urclock not erasing the old date on the clock face, causing
162 overdraw, plus a host of other small fixes and improvements.
163 - shave off over 1K of code size from urclock by replacing the sine table
164 with a slightly less accurate fixed point approximation.
165 - do not specify indentation with =over in pod, this is no longer
166 needed with semi-modern pod tools and gives the formatter more
167 stylistic freedom.
168 - background extension did not set the "size-sensitive" flag
169 when repeat mode wasn't normal.
170 - extensions are now subjected to "use strict 'subs'".
171 - avoid crashing when xft successfully opens a font but then somehow
172 can't lock the face.
173 - locale_decode/encode api methods now pass through undef unchanged.
174 - fix undefined behaviour in the perl hook function, as diagnosed by clang.
175
1769.26 Fri May 14 19:14:14 CEST 2021
177 - ev_iouring.c was wrongly required during compilation, and wrongly
178 not packaged.
179
1809.25 Fri May 14 15:51:36 CEST 2021
181 - for the 17.5th anniversary, and because many distributions seem to
182 remove rxvt in favour of urxvt, this release resurrects rclock as
183 urclock.
184 - add support for systemd socket-based activation - debian bug #917105,
185 freebsd bug #234276.
186 - do not destruct perl on exit anymore: this might fail for a variety of
187 reasons, and takes unnecessary time.
188 - remove any macros from urxvtperl manpage(s), should fix debian
189 bug 858385.
190 - the old bg image resources are now provided by the background
191 extension, and perl is thus required for bg image support. No
192 configuration change is needed: urxvt autoloads the background
193 ext if any bg image resource/option is present (for OSC sequences to
194 work you need to enable it explicitly). The old bg image
195 resources are also now deprecated; users are encouraged to
196 switch to the new bg image interface (see man urxvt-background).
197 - confirm-paste now checks for any ctlchars, not just newlines.
198 - searchable scrollback will now ignore bracketed paste mode sequences
199 (prompted by Daniel Gröber's patch).
200 - drop ISO 2022 locale support. ISO 2022 encodings are not supported in
201 POSIX locales and clash with vt100 charset emulation (the luit
202 program can be used as a substitute).
203 - perl didn't parse rgba colours specified as an array correctly,
204 only allowing 0 and 100% intensity for each component (this affected
205 fill and tint).
206 - when iterating over resources, urxvt will now try to properly handle
207 multipart resources (such as "*background.expr"), for the benefit
208 of autoloading perl extensions.
209 - ESC G (query rxvt graphics mode) has been disabled due to security
210 implications. The rxvt graphics mode was removed in rxvt-unicode 1.5,
211 and no programs relying on being able to query the mode are known.
212 - work around API change breakage in perl 5.28, based on a patch by
213 Roman Bogorodskiy.
214 - improved security: rob nation's (obsolete) graphics mode queries
215 no longer reply with linefeed in secure/default mode.
216 - ISO 8613-3 direct colour SGR sequences (patch by Fengguang Wu).
217 - xterm focus reporting mode (patch by Daniel Hahler).
218 - xterm SGR mouse mode.
219 - implement DECRQM. Patch by Přemysl Eric Janouch.
220 - add missing color index parameter to OSC 4 response. Patch
221 by Přemysl Eric Janouch.
222 - in some window managers, if smart resize was enabled, urxvt
223 erroneously moved the window on font change - awesome bug
224 #532, arch linux bug ##34807 (patch by Uli Schlachter).
225 - fix urxvtd crash when using a background expression.
226 - properly restore colors when using fading and reverse video
227 is enabled while urxvt is focused and then disabled while it
228 is not focused, or vice versa (patch by Daniel Hahler).
229 - fix high memory usage when an extension repeatedly hides and
230 shows an overlay (reported by Marcel Lautenbach).
231 - expose priv_modes member and constants to perl extensions
232 (patch by Rastislav Barlik).
233 - fix a whole slew of const sillyness, unfortunately forced upon
234 us by ISO C++.
235 - update to libecb 0x00010006.
236 - disable all thread support in ecb.h as we presumably don't need it.
237 - slightly improve Makefile source dependencies.
238 - work around bugs in newer Pod::Xhtml versions (flags incorrect formatting codes
239 in xhtml/html sections but does not interpret correct ones).
240
2419.22 Sat Jan 23 21:07:33 CET 2016
242 - NOTICE: this release updates terminfo.
243 - add terminfo capabilities for various ctrl and shift-ctrl key variants
244 (patch by Sebastian Schmidt).
245 - fix longstanding core font encoding bug where some character
246 ranges could not be mapped from unicode to the font: affected
247 encodings are big5, gb2312, iso8859-8 (hebrew), jis0201 and
248 ksc5601 (reported by Mikachu).
249 - fix crash when the number of columns is 1 and a 0 width character is inserted
250 (reported by Kuang-che Wu).
251 - fix a crash when parsing an invalid color specification (reported by Kuang-che Wu).
252 - fix a buffer overflow in font name parser (reported by Kuang-che Wu).
253 - do not start blinking cursor if the window is unfocused (reported by
254 Devin J. Pohly).
255 - change the width of underline and i-beam cursor to 2 pixels (based on
256 a patch by Omar Sandoval).
257 - add pointerShape resource to change the mouse pointer shape
258 (based on a patch by Brian Watson).
259 - a keysym resource for a key which is already bound to an
260 action now properly rebinds the key.
261 - do not report mouse motion events if Shift is active (patch by Daniel Hahler).
262 - put the alpha component last in responses to OSC color queries
263 (patch by Benjamin Herr).
264 - the key_press hook is now invoked before processing the
265 event, as documented. This change was done in 9.21 but not
266 announced and fixes debian bugs #511377, #531751 and red hat
267 bug #1105069. Note that this change breaks a few scripts,
268 such as mark-yank-urls, which rely on the previous buggy
269 behaviour that urxvt processes the event (in particular
270 keysym bindings) before invoking the hook.
271 - the tabbed extension now properly refreshes the active tab
272 on a key press when the mouse pointer is outside the terminal
273 window.
274 - add 'lookup_keysym' perl method to lookup the action bound
275 to a key combination.
276 - a key combination bound to 'matcher:select' can now be used
277 to cycle through the matches in matcher.
278 - change perl integer accessors (->width et al.) into mutators.
279 - this version has ben verified to work with perl 5.8.3.
