42 - ISO 8613-3 direct colour SGR sequences (patch by Fengguang Wu).
43 - xterm focus reporting mode (patch by Daniel Hahler).
44 - in some window managers, if smart resize was enabled, urxvt
45 erroneously moved the window on font change - awesome bug
46 #532, arch linux bug ##34807 (patch by Uli Schlachter).
47 - fix high memory usage when an extension repeatedly hides and
48 shows an overlay (reported by Marcel Lautenbach).
49 - the old bg image resources are now provided by the background
50 extension, and perl is thus required for bg image support. No
51 configuration change is needed: urxvt autoloads the background
52 ext if any bg image resource/option is present. The old bg image
53 resources are also now deprecated; users are encouraged to
54 switch to the new bg image interface (see man urxvt-background).
55
569.22 Sat Jan 23 21:07:33 CET 2016
57 - NOTICE: this release updates terminfo.
58 - add terminfo capabilities for various ctrl and shift-ctrl key variants
59 (patch by Sebastian Schmidt).
60 - fix longstanding core font encoding bug where some character
61 ranges could not be mapped from unicode to the font: affected
62 encodings are big5, gb2312, iso8859-8 (hebrew), jis0201 and
63 ksc5601 (reported by Mikachu).
64 - fix crash when the number of columns is 1 and a 0 width character is inserted
65 (reported by Kuang-che Wu).
66 - fix a crash when parsing an invalid color specification (reported by Kuang-che Wu).
67 - fix a buffer overflow in font name parser (reported by Kuang-che Wu).
68 - do not start blinking cursor if the window is unfocused (reported by
69 Devin J. Pohly).
70 - change the width of underline and i-beam cursor to 2 pixels (based on
71 a patch by Omar Sandoval).
72 - add pointerShape resource to change the mouse pointer shape
73 (based on a patch by Brian Watson).
74 - a keysym resource for a key which is already bound to an
75 action now properly rebinds the key.
76 - do not report mouse motion events if Shift is active (patch by Daniel Hahler).
77 - put the alpha component last in responses to OSC color queries
78 (patch by Benjamin Herr).
79 - the key_press hook is now invoked before processing the
80 event, as documented. This change was done in 9.21 but not
81 announced and fixes debian bugs #511377, #531751 and red hat
82 bug #1105069. Note that this change breaks a few scripts,
83 such as mark-yank-urls, which rely on the previous buggy
84 behaviour that urxvt processes the event (in particular
85 keysym bindings) before invoking the hook.
86 - the tabbed extension now properly refreshes the active tab
87 on a key press when the mouse pointer is outside the terminal
88 window.
89 - add 'lookup_keysym' perl method to lookup the action bound
90 to a key combination.
91 - a key combination bound to 'matcher:select' can now be used
92 to cycle through the matches in matcher.
93 - change perl integer accessors (->width et al.) into mutators.
94
959.21 Wed Dec 31 14:50:03 CET 2014
96 - the "moa redraw 8-bit british vintage colour management" release.
97 - NOTICE: this release updates terminfo.
98 - fix pixel droppings on overdraw when a secondary core font has the
99 same height but different ascent.
100 - implement cvvis in terminfo as blinking cursor, to distinguish it
101 from cnorm (emacs uses cvvis which is commonly a blinking cursor).
102 - when xft support was compiled in, colour queries erroneously returned
103 premultiplied values, this also affected internal queries, for example
104 when calculating faded colour. alpha is now divided out when possible,
105 which is more correct but loses colour resolution.
106 - add DECSCUSR xterm extension to set the cursor to a vertical bar.
107 - add 'extension:string' action, and associated on_action perl
108 hook, for keysym resources that invokes actions provided by
109 perl extensions. The 'perl:string' action and
110 on_user_command hook are deprecated but still supported.
111 - add 'builtin-string' action for keysym resources that restores string
112 mappings for keys that have predefined actions in urxvt.
113 - add -k option to urxvtc for killing the daemon process.
114 - document urxvtd's -e/--eval option that was implemented in 9.16,
115 but not documented.
116 - add -dockapp option to make the wm treat urxvt as a dockapp.
117 - add -mc option and multiClickTime resource to set the maximum time
118 between multi-click select events (patch by Joe Peterson).
119 - new 'eval' extension to evaluate arbitrary perl code with keysym
120 bindings. The extension also provides methods that implement basic
121 actions, such as pasting selections and scrolling.
122 - the macosx-clipboard and macosx-clipboard-native extensions have been removed.
123 - kuake extension now uses the kuake.hotkey resource to specify the hotkey.
124 - new 'matcher:select' mode of matcher to iterate over the matches with the keyboard.
125 - the 'matcher:list' feature of matcher now honours the launcher
126 associated to a matched pattern.
127 - speed-up matcher underlining on very long lines (reported by Edward Z. Yang).
128 - fix up/down commands of searchable-scrollback so that they always move
129 to the previous/next logical line with a match, if any.
130 - searchable-scrollback resource has been deprecated (use keysym instead).
131 - extension parameter passing is deprecated (use resource mechanism instead).
132 - upgrade to GPLv3 (see COPYING).
133 - compile out of the box on Solaris 10, again.
134 - fix height and position of the stippled area in next scrollbar (patch
135 by Thomas Otto).
136 - fix off-by-one bug causing the iso14755 window not to jump out of the
137 way properly.
138 - fix crash that may happen if a lib to which urxvt is linked to calls setenv.
139 - fix memory leak in special_{encode,decode} perl methods.
140 - fix refresh bug that occurs when reverse video is set on a cell
141 containing a space and with the same bg and fg colour, red hat bug
142 #830236.
143 - fix crash that may happen if an x error is received after a terminal
144 window/popup has been destroyed already.
145 - removed superfluous 0 digit from sgr terminfo sequence.
146 - greatly improve colour allocation on colour-starved pseudocolour
147 displays to avoid read-write cells instead of simply failing
148 (this is only relevant for antique 8bpp frame buffers).
149 - do not free fade colours when not doing fading (this is likely
150 only relevant for antique 8bpp frame buffers).
151 - do not specialcase 2 or 4 colour visuals, leading to
152 simpler and actually more correct code.
153 - hopefully no longer leak colours on !truecolour visuals.
154 - use consistent method names (scr_recolour => scr_recolor).
155 - use simpler (but slightly less bogus) formula for nearest
156 colour choice (this is likely only relevant for antique 8bpp
157 frame buffers).
158 - remove fallback behaviour when initialising colours - the
159 behaviour was inconsistent between startup vs. later and
160 was only effective when valid colours couldn't be allocated.
161
1629.20 Sat Apr 26 16:22:27 CEST 2014
163 - (libptytty) fix bug that prevented urxvtd from writing utmp
164 entries when using --fork (reported by Ryan Kavanagh).
165 - security bugfix: window property values could be queried even
166 in secure mode (reported by Conor McCarthy).
167 - fix build when perl is enabled and fading is disabled.
168 - fix regression that broke continuous scrolling when pressing
169 and holding the scrollbar up or down button, gentoo bug #493992.
170 - increase the maximum length of a command sequence to 32k bytes,
171 to allow longer OSC sequences (previous limit was 2k).
172 - new Ctrl-Meta-c and Ctrl-Meta-v bindings to interact with
173 the CLIPBOARD selection.
174 - new extension: selection-to-clipboard.
175 - the extensions macosx-clipboard and macosx-clipboard-native
176 are deprecated and will be removed in the next release.
177 Support for the clipboard on OS X can be more generally
178 enabled by setting the XQuartz preference to sync the OS X
179 pasteboard and the X11 clipboard.
180
1819.19 Sun Oct 27 17:16:07 CET 2013
182 - work around perl 5.18.0 breakage in tabbed extension
183 (reported by Karol Blazewicz) and in pod (Dominic Hargreaves).
184 - fix regression that caused the double-click word selection to
185 erroneously include a tab on the left of the selected word.
186 - implement FOCUS variable and focus_fade function in background
187 expression, to allow focus-sensitive background images.
188 - add support for the set cursor style (DECSCUSR) control
189 function.
190 - honour cursorColor also when the cursor style is underline.
191 - export some Color_xxx constants to Perl.
192
1939.18 Sun Mar 24 15:33:35 CET 2013
194 - fix regression that caused artifacts on resize.
195
1969.17 Fri Mar 1 13:46:08 CET 2013
197 - add shade operator in background perl extension.
198 - avoid starting or ending the selection in the middle of wide
199 characters to avoid artifacts (reported by Tiago Resende).
200 - fix artifacts that may occur if the character in the cursor
201 cell has width > 1 (reported by Tiago Resende).
202 - fix regression that causes artifacts on scrolling if
203 saveLines is 0 and the window is resized (reported by Bert
204 Münnich).
205 - fix build when perl is enabled and pixbuf and transparency
206 are disabled.
207
2089.16 Thu Dec 27 11:56:43 CET 2012
209 - the "so much new stuff your eyes will pop out" release.
210 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: renamed urlLauncher resource to url-launcher.
211 - fix processing of DEC private mode save sequences (patch by Patrick
212 Hemmer).
213 - perl extensions now have their own manpages, installed as urxvt-NAME(1),
214 e.g. urxvt-background(1) - see urxvt-extensions(1) for a list.
215 - fix disabling of cursor blink with the option-popup menu (based on a
216 patch by Jan Larres).
217 - the font height is not augmented anymore when lineSpace is non zero.
218 - fix "new pagemap" vs. "delete pagemap" mismatch ([] vs. non-[]),
219 as diagnosed by clang.
220 - fix height mismatch between active and inactive cursor when
221 lineSpace is non zero (patch by Stanislav Seletskiy).
222 - make it compile with LOCAL_X_IS_UNIX again (reported by
223 nickfailure@gmail.com).
224 - completely redone background pixmap support - users can now
225 specify arbitrary expressions (And programs) that calculate
226 new terminal backgrounds. see the urxvt-background manpage
227 for details.
228 - xrender is now required for background pixmap support.
229 - perl extensions can now provide commandline switches and resources
230 which show up in -help etc.
231 - iso14755 51 mode window now displays row and column.
232 - implement a -visual switch and move that and -depth to frills, also
233 warn when we can't get the requested visual.
234 - new env variable: RXVT_PERL_LIB.
235 - allocate all screen memory in one go and let the virtual memory
236 subsystem sort it out. this simplifies code, improves access
237 locality, saves a bit of ram and makes things a bit faster, too.
238 - remove support for libafterimage.
239 - update to CVS version of libev, for a whopping 11kb size decrease.
240 - do not ship yet another copy of ecb.h, use the one in libev or
241 libptytty instead.
242 - selectively mark some methods as cache-hot/cache cold, which
243 might speed up execution but definitely decreases codesize.
244 - Fix regression that prevented the scrollbar trough color
245 from being applied (reported by Derek B. Noonburg).
246 - Fix the scrollbar size for rxvt style (patch by Mark Robinson).
247
2489.15 Sat Jan 21 13:36:56 CET 2012

250 thinks thats an error.
251 - finding a matching font (e.g. bold version of the base font)
252 was broken (reported by Eamon Walker).
253 - fix parsing of bg image styles. They really work now.
254 - fix blurring of bg image borders when using xrender.
255 - fix xrender blur on common xrender implementations that do
256 not behave correctly when the same pixmap is used as source
257 and destination in composite operations.
258 - fix regression that caused tabbed to compute the wrong size
259 for tabs.
260 - allow again an empty suffix in a keysym list spec (patch by
