50TODO: pkg-config to find Xext
51
52 - implement a fix for CVE-2022-4170 (reported and analyzed by David Leadbeater).
53 While present in version 9.30, it should not be exploitable. It is exploitable
54 in versions 9.25 and 9.26, at least, and allows anybody controlling output to
55 the terminal to execute arbitrary code in the urxvt process.
56 - the background extension no longer requires off focus fading support
57 to be compiled in.
58 - the confirm-paste extension now offers a choice betwene pasting the original
59 or a sanitized version, and also frees up memory used to store the paste text
60 immediately.
61 - fix compiling without frills.
62 - fix rewrapMode: never.
63 - fix regression that caused urxvt to no longer emit responses
64 to OSC color queries other than OSC 4 ones.
65 - fix regression that caused urxvt to no longer process OSC 705.
66 - restore CENTURY to be 1900 to "improve" year parsing in urclock (or at
67 least go back to the old interpretation) (based on an analysis
68 by Tommy Pettersson).
69 - exec_async (used e.g. by the matcher extension to spawn processes) now
70 sets the URXVT_EXT_WINDOWID variable to the window id of the terminal.
71 - implement -fps option/refreshRate resource to change the default 60 Hz
72 maximum refresh limiter. I always wanted an fps option, but had to
73 wait for a user requesting it.
74 - new clickthrough extension.
75 - perl now also requires Xext.
76 - X region and shape extension functionality has been exposed to perl
77 extensions.
78 - RENDER extension no longer depends on ENABLE_XIM_ONTHESPOT.
79
809.30 Sat 27 Nov 2021 21:07:09 CET
81 - the background extension did not initialise properly when automatically
82 loaded via the OSC.
83 - new "on_attach" hook type implemented, to initialise late-loading
84 extensions.
85
869.29 Mon 22 Nov 2021 18:07:14 CET
87 - libptytty (http://dist.schmorp.de/libptytty/) is now a required
88 external dependency.
89 - enable confirm-paste extension by default, can be disabled by e.g.
90 URxvt.perl-ext: -confirm-paste
91 - Key bindings specified with the -keysym option or with resources of
92 the form URxvt*keysym work again. Such resources, as opposed to
93 resources of the form URxvt.keysym, were not officially allowed but
94 accepted, so ignoring them is considered a regression.
95 - new option/resource -rm/rewrapMode, which sets the line rewrap
96 mode to auto, never or always.
97 - new option/resource -dpb/disablePasteBrackets, which can be used to
98 disable bracketed paste mode sequences, as more and more programs
99 abuse these sequences (typically in the name of security, but these
100 sequences are not improving security). Also, bracketed paste mode
101 is now under frills.
102 - add manpage for urclock.
103 - confirm-paste wrongly considered brackets as ctrlchars (patch by
104 Jakub Wilk, debian bug #995244).
105 - if urxvt cannot detect a good estimate for font width (because a font does
106 not contain latin characters at all for example), it will now fall
107 back to xft's max_advance_width, which works well with some fonts. It
108 currently will warn about this.
109 - do not render variation selectors in the default font as boxes, treat
110 them as zero-width characters.
111 - change combining character architecture to allow fonts to handle
112 combining sequences on their own. This could allow future renderers
113 to be more intelligent about these sequences.
114 - use the previous enhancement to allow unicode characters outside of the
115 BMP to be rendered even without --enable-unicode3, as long as an
116 xft with the character is configured.
117 It's recommended to stay with disabled unicode3 even more now.
118 - freetype/xft have been verified to return nonsensical offsets for
119 combining characters. urxvt tries to compensate to some extent,
120 but diacritics will be slightly off in many cases, and far off in
121 some cases (e.g. input mono).
122 - when checking for overlap/careful handling, take non-basefont
123 character shifts into account.
124 - extensions can now request autoloading on OSC and Perl OSC sequences,
125 implement this for the background, clipboard-osc and overlay-osc
126 extensions.
127 - the background extension will now be autoloaded when the OSC 20 or 705
128 sequence is received.
129 - added OSC 776 sequence to return character cell width, height and font
130 ascent, which is useful when using urxvt as slave to calculate window
131 size form or to row/column count.
132 - matcher extension documentation now points out some requirements for
133 regular expressions. the default url matching regex will now try
134 to match IRLs in addition to URLs.
135 - The view_start perl method now scrolls to the bottom also when the
136 argument is greater than 0.
137 - eval scroll actions now scroll to the bottom when scrolling down and
138 there are less lines to scroll than the ones requested (reported by
139 Stephen Talley).
140 - allow perl-ext and perl-ext-common to override autoloaded extensions.
141 this allows tabbed to disable itself in subtabs, avoiding recursive
142 loading.
143 - update precompose table to unicode 13.0.
144 - update charset conversion tables to perl 5.32 (this only affected
145 cs_koi8_u_from_unicode).
146 - unicode characters > 0x100000 were not handled correctly w.r.t.
147 font rendering.
148 - replace bitstream vera by dejavu sans, as it has replaced the former
149 almost everywhere.
150 - urxvt will now try tic -x first and only fall back to tic without -x
151 when tic -x fails.
152 - fix urclock not erasing the old date on the clock face, causing
153 overdraw, plus a host of other small fixes and improvements.
154 - shave off over 1K of code size from urclock by replacing the sine table
155 with a slightly less accurate fixed point approximation.
156 - do not specify indentation with =over in pod, this is no longer
157 needed with semi-modern pod tools and gives the formatter more
158 stylistic freedom.
159 - background extension did not set the "size-sensitive" flag
160 when repeat mode wasn't normal.
161 - extensions are now subjected to "use strict 'subs'".
162 - avoid crashing when xft successfully opens a font but then somehow
163 can't lock the face.
164 - locale_decode/encode api methods now pass through undef unchanged.
165 - fix undefined behaviour in the perl hook function, as diagnosed by clang.
166
1679.26 Fri May 14 19:14:14 CEST 2021
168 - ev_iouring.c was wrongly required during compilation, and wrongly
169 not packaged.
170
1719.25 Fri May 14 15:51:36 CEST 2021
172 - for the 17.5th anniversary, and because many distributions seem to
173 remove rxvt in favour of urxvt, this release resurrects rclock as
174 urclock.
175 - add support for systemd socket-based activation - debian bug #917105,
176 freebsd bug #234276.
177 - do not destruct perl on exit anymore: this might fail for a variety of
178 reasons, and takes unnecessary time.
179 - remove any macros from urxvtperl manpage(s), should fix debian
180 bug 858385.
181 - the old bg image resources are now provided by the background
182 extension, and perl is thus required for bg image support. No
183 configuration change is needed: urxvt autoloads the background
184 ext if any bg image resource/option is present (for OSC sequences to
185 work you need to enable it explicitly). The old bg image
186 resources are also now deprecated; users are encouraged to
187 switch to the new bg image interface (see man urxvt-background).
188 - confirm-paste now checks for any ctlchars, not just newlines.
189 - searchable scrollback will now ignore bracketed paste mode sequences
190 (prompted by Daniel Gröber's patch).
191 - drop ISO 2022 locale support. ISO 2022 encodings are not supported in
192 POSIX locales and clash with vt100 charset emulation (the luit
193 program can be used as a substitute).
194 - perl didn't parse rgba colours specified as an array correctly,
195 only allowing 0 and 100% intensity for each component (this affected
196 fill and tint).
197 - when iterating over resources, urxvt will now try to properly handle
198 multipart resources (such as "*background.expr"), for the benefit
199 of autoloading perl extensions.
200 - ESC G (query rxvt graphics mode) has been disabled due to security
201 implications. The rxvt graphics mode was removed in rxvt-unicode 1.5,
202 and no programs relying on being able to query the mode are known.
203 - work around API change breakage in perl 5.28, based on a patch by
204 Roman Bogorodskiy.
205 - improved security: rob nation's (obsolete) graphics mode queries
206 no longer reply with linefeed in secure/default mode.
42 - ISO 8613-3 direct colour SGR sequences (patch by Fengguang Wu). 207 - ISO 8613-3 direct colour SGR sequences (patch by Fengguang Wu).
43 - xterm focus reporting mode (patch by Daniel Hahler). 208 - xterm focus reporting mode (patch by Daniel Hahler).
209 - xterm SGR mouse mode.
210 - implement DECRQM. Patch by Přemysl Eric Janouch.
211 - add missing color index parameter to OSC 4 response. Patch
212 by Přemysl Eric Janouch.
213 - in some window managers, if smart resize was enabled, urxvt
214 erroneously moved the window on font change - awesome bug
215 #532, arch linux bug ##34807 (patch by Uli Schlachter).
216 - fix urxvtd crash when using a background expression.
217 - properly restore colors when using fading and reverse video
218 is enabled while urxvt is focused and then disabled while it
219 is not focused, or vice versa (patch by Daniel Hahler).
220 - fix high memory usage when an extension repeatedly hides and
221 shows an overlay (reported by Marcel Lautenbach).
222 - expose priv_modes member and constants to perl extensions
223 (patch by Rastislav Barlik).
224 - fix a whole slew of const sillyness, unfortunately forced upon
225 us by ISO C++.
226 - update to libecb 0x00010006.
227 - disable all thread support in ecb.h as we presumably don't need it.
228 - slightly improve Makefile source dependencies.
229 - work around bugs in newer Pod::Xhtml versions (flags incorrect formatting codes
230 in xhtml/html sections but does not interpret correct ones).
