53
54 - fix reference counting of values returned by some perl bindings.
55 - fix OSC responses with 7-bit ST (reported by Stuart Henderson).
56 - change the encoding of buttons 8-11 in mouse reporting
57 sequences to match xterm's and enable reporting of release
58 events for them (patch by Pierre-Marc Fournier).
59 - clamp coordinates in mouse reporting sequences to the number
60 of rows and columns (patch by Nick Hanley).
61
629.31 Mon 02 Jan 2023 18:13:16 CET
63 - implement a fix for CVE-2022-4170 (reported and analyzed by David Leadbeater).
64 While present in version 9.30, it should not be exploitable. It is exploitable
65 in versions 9.25 and 9.26, at least, and allows anybody controlling output to
66 the terminal to execute arbitrary code in the urxvt process.
67 - the background extension no longer requires off focus fading support
68 to be compiled in.
69 - the confirm-paste extension now offers a choice between pasting the original
70 or a sanitized version, and also frees up memory used to store the paste text
71 immediately.
72 - fix compiling without frills.
73 - fix rewrapMode: never.
74 - fix regression that caused urxvt to no longer emit responses
75 to OSC color queries other than OSC 4 ones.
76 - fix regression that caused urxvt to no longer process OSC 705.
77 - restore CENTURY to be 1900 to "improve" year parsing in urclock (or at
78 least go back to the old interpretation) (based on an analysis
79 by Tommy Pettersson).
80 - exec_async (used e.g. by the matcher extension to spawn processes) now
81 sets the URXVT_EXT_WINDOWID variable to the window id of the terminal.
82 - implement -fps option/refreshRate resource to change the default 60 Hz
83 maximum refresh limiter. I always wanted an fps option, but had to
84 wait for a user requesting it.
85 - new clickthrough extension.
86 - perl now also requires Xext.
87 - X region and shape extension functionality has been exposed to perl
88 extensions.
89 - RENDER extension no longer depends on ENABLE_XIM_ONTHESPOT.
90
919.30 Sat 27 Nov 2021 21:07:09 CET
92 - the background extension did not initialise properly when automatically
93 loaded via the OSC.
94 - new "on_attach" hook type implemented, to initialise late-loading
95 extensions.
96
979.29 Mon 22 Nov 2021 18:07:14 CET
98 - libptytty (http://dist.schmorp.de/libptytty/) is now a required
99 external dependency.
100 - enable confirm-paste extension by default, can be disabled by e.g.
101 URxvt.perl-ext: -confirm-paste
102 - Key bindings specified with the -keysym option or with resources of
103 the form URxvt*keysym work again. Such resources, as opposed to
104 resources of the form URxvt.keysym, were not officially allowed but
105 accepted, so ignoring them is considered a regression.
106 - new option/resource -rm/rewrapMode, which sets the line rewrap
107 mode to auto, never or always.
108 - new option/resource -dpb/disablePasteBrackets, which can be used to
109 disable bracketed paste mode sequences, as more and more programs
110 abuse these sequences (typically in the name of security, but these
111 sequences are not improving security). Also, bracketed paste mode
112 is now under frills.
113 - add manpage for urclock.
114 - confirm-paste wrongly considered brackets as ctrlchars (patch by
115 Jakub Wilk, debian bug #995244).
116 - if urxvt cannot detect a good estimate for font width (because a font does
117 not contain latin characters at all for example), it will now fall
118 back to xft's max_advance_width, which works well with some fonts. It
119 currently will warn about this.
120 - do not render variation selectors in the default font as boxes, treat
121 them as zero-width characters.
122 - change combining character architecture to allow fonts to handle
123 combining sequences on their own. This could allow future renderers
124 to be more intelligent about these sequences.
125 - use the previous enhancement to allow unicode characters outside of the
126 BMP to be rendered even without --enable-unicode3, as long as an
127 xft with the character is configured.
128 It's recommended to stay with disabled unicode3 even more now.
129 - freetype/xft have been verified to return nonsensical offsets for
130 combining characters. urxvt tries to compensate to some extent,
131 but diacritics will be slightly off in many cases, and far off in
132 some cases (e.g. input mono).
133 - when checking for overlap/careful handling, take non-basefont
134 character shifts into account.
135 - extensions can now request autoloading on OSC and Perl OSC sequences,
136 implement this for the background, clipboard-osc and overlay-osc
137 extensions.
138 - the background extension will now be autoloaded when the OSC 20 or 705
139 sequence is received.
140 - added OSC 776 sequence to return character cell width, height and font
141 ascent, which is useful when using urxvt as slave to calculate window
142 size form or to row/column count.
143 - matcher extension documentation now points out some requirements for
144 regular expressions. the default url matching regex will now try
145 to match IRLs in addition to URLs.
146 - The view_start perl method now scrolls to the bottom also when the
147 argument is greater than 0.
148 - eval scroll actions now scroll to the bottom when scrolling down and
149 there are less lines to scroll than the ones requested (reported by
150 Stephen Talley).
151 - allow perl-ext and perl-ext-common to override autoloaded extensions.
152 this allows tabbed to disable itself in subtabs, avoiding recursive
153 loading.
154 - update precompose table to unicode 13.0.
155 - update charset conversion tables to perl 5.32 (this only affected
156 cs_koi8_u_from_unicode).
157 - unicode characters > 0x100000 were not handled correctly w.r.t.
158 font rendering.
159 - replace bitstream vera by dejavu sans, as it has replaced the former
160 almost everywhere.
161 - urxvt will now try tic -x first and only fall back to tic without -x
162 when tic -x fails.
163 - fix urclock not erasing the old date on the clock face, causing
164 overdraw, plus a host of other small fixes and improvements.
165 - shave off over 1K of code size from urclock by replacing the sine table
166 with a slightly less accurate fixed point approximation.
167 - do not specify indentation with =over in pod, this is no longer
168 needed with semi-modern pod tools and gives the formatter more
169 stylistic freedom.
170 - background extension did not set the "size-sensitive" flag
171 when repeat mode wasn't normal.
172 - extensions are now subjected to "use strict 'subs'".
173 - avoid crashing when xft successfully opens a font but then somehow
174 can't lock the face.
175 - locale_decode/encode api methods now pass through undef unchanged.
176 - fix undefined behaviour in the perl hook function, as diagnosed by clang.
177
1789.26 Fri May 14 19:14:14 CEST 2021
179 - ev_iouring.c was wrongly required during compilation, and wrongly
180 not packaged.
181
1829.25 Fri May 14 15:51:36 CEST 2021
183 - for the 17.5th anniversary, and because many distributions seem to
184 remove rxvt in favour of urxvt, this release resurrects rclock as
185 urclock.
186 - add support for systemd socket-based activation - debian bug #917105,
187 freebsd bug #234276.
188 - do not destruct perl on exit anymore: this might fail for a variety of
189 reasons, and takes unnecessary time.
190 - remove any macros from urxvtperl manpage(s), should fix debian
191 bug 858385.
192 - the old bg image resources are now provided by the background
193 extension, and perl is thus required for bg image support. No
194 configuration change is needed: urxvt autoloads the background
195 ext if any bg image resource/option is present (for OSC sequences to
196 work you need to enable it explicitly). The old bg image
197 resources are also now deprecated; users are encouraged to
198 switch to the new bg image interface (see man urxvt-background).
199 - confirm-paste now checks for any ctlchars, not just newlines.
200 - searchable scrollback will now ignore bracketed paste mode sequences
201 (prompted by Daniel Gröber's patch).
202 - drop ISO 2022 locale support. ISO 2022 encodings are not supported in
203 POSIX locales and clash with vt100 charset emulation (the luit
204 program can be used as a substitute).
205 - perl didn't parse rgba colours specified as an array correctly,
206 only allowing 0 and 100% intensity for each component (this affected
207 fill and tint).
208 - when iterating over resources, urxvt will now try to properly handle
209 multipart resources (such as "*background.expr"), for the benefit
210 of autoloading perl extensions.
211 - ESC G (query rxvt graphics mode) has been disabled due to security
212 implications. The rxvt graphics mode was removed in rxvt-unicode 1.5,
213 and no programs relying on being able to query the mode are known.
214 - work around API change breakage in perl 5.28, based on a patch by
215 Roman Bogorodskiy.
216 - improved security: rob nation's (obsolete) graphics mode queries
217 no longer reply with linefeed in secure/default mode.
218 - ISO 8613-3 direct colour SGR sequences (patch by Fengguang Wu).
219 - xterm focus reporting mode (patch by Daniel Hahler).
220 - xterm SGR mouse mode.
221 - implement DECRQM. Patch by Přemysl Eric Janouch.
222 - add missing color index parameter to OSC 4 response. Patch
223 by Přemysl Eric Janouch.
224 - in some window managers, if smart resize was enabled, urxvt
225 erroneously moved the window on font change - awesome bug
226 #532, arch linux bug ##34807 (patch by Uli Schlachter).
227 - fix urxvtd crash when using a background expression.
228 - properly restore colors when using fading and reverse video
229 is enabled while urxvt is focused and then disabled while it
230 is not focused, or vice versa (patch by Daniel Hahler).
231 - fix high memory usage when an extension repeatedly hides and
232 shows an overlay (reported by Marcel Lautenbach).
233 - expose priv_modes member and constants to perl extensions
234 (patch by Rastislav Barlik).
235 - fix a whole slew of const sillyness, unfortunately forced upon
236 us by ISO C++.
237 - update to libecb 0x00010006.
238 - disable all thread support in ecb.h as we presumably don't need it.
239 - slightly improve Makefile source dependencies.
240 - work around bugs in newer Pod::Xhtml versions (flags incorrect formatting codes
241 in xhtml/html sections but does not interpret correct ones).
242

252 (reported by Kuang-che Wu).
253 - fix a crash when parsing an invalid color specification (reported by Kuang-che Wu).
254 - fix a buffer overflow in font name parser (reported by Kuang-che Wu).
