51 - allow URxvt*keysym to match again. The fatc that it was ignored
52 is considered a regression due in the way we checked for keysym
53 resources.
54 - enable confirm-paste extension by default, can be disabled by e.g.
55 URxvt.perl-ext: -confirm-paste
56 - if urxvt cannot detect a good estimate for font width (because a font does
57 not contain latin characters at all for example), it will now fall
58 back to xft's max_advance_width, which works well with some fonts. It
59 currently will warn about this.
60 - do not render variation selectors in the default font as boxes, treat
61 them as zero-width characters.
62 - change combining character architecture to allow fonts to handle
63 combining sequences on their own. This could allow future renderers
64 to be more intelligent about these sequences.
65 - use the previous enhancement to allow unicode characters outside of the
66 BMP to be rendered even without --enable-unicode3, as long as an
67 xft with the character is configured.
68 It's recommended to stay with disabled unicode3 even more now.
69 - freetype/xft have been verified to return nonsensical offsets for
70 combining characters. urxvt tries to compensate to some extent,
71 but diacritics will be slightly off in many cases, and far off in
72 some cases (e.g. input mono).
73 - allow perl-ext and perl-ext-common to override autoloaded extensions.
74 this allows tabbed to disable itself in subtabs, avoiding recursive
75 loading.
76 - update precompose table to unicode 13.0.
77 - update charset conversion tables to perl 5.32 (this only affected
78 cs_koi8_u_from_unicode).
79 - unicode characters > 0x100000 were not handled correctly w.r.t.
80 font rendering.
81 - replace bitstream vera by dejavu sans, as it has replaced the former
82 almost everywhere.

85 - ev_iouring.c was wrongly required during compilation, and wrongly
86 not packaged.

889.25 Fri May 14 15:51:36 CEST 2021
89 - for the 17.5th anniversary, and because many distributions seem to
90 remove rxvt in favour of urxvt, this release resurrects rclock as
91 urclock.
92 - add support for systemd socket-based activation - debian bug #917105,
93 freebsd bug #234276.
94 - do not destruct perl on exit anymore: this might fail for a variety of
95 reasons, and takes unnecessary time.
96 - remove any macros from urxvtperl manpage(s), should fix debian
97 bug 858385.
98 - the old bg image resources are now provided by the background
99 extension, and perl is thus required for bg image support. No
100 configuration change is needed: urxvt autoloads the background
101 ext if any bg image resource/option is present (for OSC sequences to
102 work you need to enable it explicitly). The old bg image
103 resources are also now deprecated; users are encouraged to
104 switch to the new bg image interface (see man urxvt-background).
105 - confirm-paste now checks for any ctlchars, not just newlines.
106 - searchable scrollback will now ignore bracketed paste mode sequences
107 (prompted by Daniel Gröber's patch).
108 - drop ISO 2022 locale support. ISO 2022 encodings are not supported in
109 POSIX locales and clash with vt100 charset emulation (the luit
110 program can be used as a substitute).
111 - perl didn't parse rgba colours specified as an array correctly,
112 only allowing 0 and 100% intensity for each component (this affected
113 fill and tint).
114 - when iterating over resources, urxvt will now try to properly handle
115 multipart resources (such as "*background.expr"), for the benefit
116 of autoloading perl extensions.
117 - ESC G (query rxvt graphics mode) has been disabled due to security
118 implications. The rxvt graphics mode was removed in rxvt-unicode 1.5,
119 and no programs relying on being able to query the mode are known.
120 - work around API change breakage in perl 5.28, based on a patch by
121 Roman Bogorodskiy.
122 - improved security: rob nation's (obsolete) graphics mode queries
123 no longer reply with linefeed in secure/default mode.
124 - ISO 8613-3 direct colour SGR sequences (patch by Fengguang Wu).
125 - xterm focus reporting mode (patch by Daniel Hahler).
126 - xterm SGR mouse mode.
127 - implement DECRQM. Patch by Přemysl Eric Janouch.
128 - add missing color index parameter to OSC 4 response. Patch
129 by Přemysl Eric Janouch.
130 - in some window managers, if smart resize was enabled, urxvt
131 erroneously moved the window on font change - awesome bug
132 #532, arch linux bug ##34807 (patch by Uli Schlachter).
133 - fix urxvtd crash when using a background expression.
134 - properly restore colors when using fading and reverse video
135 is enabled while urxvt is focused and then disabled while it
136 is not focused, or vice versa (patch by Daniel Hahler).
137 - fix high memory usage when an extension repeatedly hides and
138 shows an overlay (reported by Marcel Lautenbach).
139 - expose priv_modes member and constants to perl extensions
140 (patch by Rastislav Barlik).
141 - fix a whole slew of const sillyness, unfortunately forced upon
142 us by ISO C++.
143 - update to libecb 0x00010006.
144 - disable all thread support in ecb.h as we presumably don't need it.
145 - slightly improve Makefile source dependencies.
146 - work around bugs in newer Pod::Xhtml versions (flags incorrect formatting codes
147 in xhtml/html sections but does not interpret correct ones).

1499.22 Sat Jan 23 21:07:33 CET 2016
150 - NOTICE: this release updates terminfo.
151 - add terminfo capabilities for various ctrl and shift-ctrl key variants
152 (patch by Sebastian Schmidt).
153 - fix longstanding core font encoding bug where some character
154 ranges could not be mapped from unicode to the font: affected
155 encodings are big5, gb2312, iso8859-8 (hebrew), jis0201 and
156 ksc5601 (reported by Mikachu).
157 - fix crash when the number of columns is 1 and a 0 width character is inserted
158 (reported by Kuang-che Wu).
159 - fix a crash when parsing an invalid color specification (reported by Kuang-che Wu).
160 - fix a buffer overflow in font name parser (reported by Kuang-che Wu).
161 - do not start blinking cursor if the window is unfocused (reported by
162 Devin J. Pohly).
163 - change the width of underline and i-beam cursor to 2 pixels (based on
164 a patch by Omar Sandoval).
165 - add pointerShape resource to change the mouse pointer shape
166 (based on a patch by Brian Watson).
42 - a keysym resource for a key which is already bound to an 167 - a keysym resource for a key which is already bound to an
43 action now properly rebinds the key. 168 action now properly rebinds the key.
169 - do not report mouse motion events if Shift is active (patch by Daniel Hahler).
170 - put the alpha component last in responses to OSC color queries
171 (patch by Benjamin Herr).
172 - the key_press hook is now invoked before processing the
173 event, as documented. This change was done in 9.21 but not
174 announced and fixes debian bugs #511377, #531751 and red hat
175 bug #1105069. Note that this change breaks a few scripts,
176 such as mark-yank-urls, which rely on the previous buggy
177 behaviour that urxvt processes the event (in particular
178 keysym bindings) before invoking the hook.
44 - the tabbed extension now properly refreshes the active tab 179 - the tabbed extension now properly refreshes the active tab
45 when scrolling and the mouse pointer is outside the terminal 180 on a key press when the mouse pointer is outside the terminal
46 window. 181 window.
182 - add 'lookup_keysym' perl method to lookup the action bound
183 to a key combination.
184 - a key combination bound to 'matcher:select' can now be used
185 to cycle through the matches in matcher.
186 - change perl integer accessors (->width et al.) into mutators.
