50 - libptytty is now an external dependency.
51 - enable confirm-paste extension by default, can be disabled by e.g.
52 URxvt.perl-ext: -confirm-paste
53 - Key bindings specified with the -keysym option or with resources of
54 the form URxvt*keysym work again. Such resources, as opposed to
55 resources of the form URxvt.keysym, were not officially allowed but
56 accepted, so ignoring them is considered a regression.
57 - new option/resource -rm/rewrapMode, which sets the line rewrap
58 mode to auto, never or always.
59 - new option/resource -dpb/disablePasteBrackets, which can be used to
60 disable bracketed paste mode sequences, as more and more programs
61 abuse these sequences (typically in the name of security, but these
62 sequences are not improving security). Also, bracketed paste mode
63 is now under frills.
64 - add manpage for urclock.
65 - confirm-paste wrongly considered brackets as ctrlchars (patch by
66 Jakub Wilk, debian bug #995244).
67 - if urxvt cannot detect a good estimate for font width (because a font does
68 not contain latin characters at all for example), it will now fall
69 back to xft's max_advance_width, which works well with some fonts. It
70 currently will warn about this.
71 - do not render variation selectors in the default font as boxes, treat
72 them as zero-width characters.
73 - change combining character architecture to allow fonts to handle
74 combining sequences on their own. This could allow future renderers
75 to be more intelligent about these sequences.
76 - use the previous enhancement to allow unicode characters outside of the
77 BMP to be rendered even without --enable-unicode3, as long as an
78 xft with the character is configured.
79 It's recommended to stay with disabled unicode3 even more now.
80 - freetype/xft have been verified to return nonsensical offsets for
81 combining characters. urxvt tries to compensate to some extent,
82 but diacritics will be slightly off in many cases, and far off in
83 some cases (e.g. input mono).
84 - when checking for overlap/careful handling, take non-basefont
85 character shifts into account.
86 - extensions can now request autoloading on OSC and Perl OSC sequences,
87 implement this for the background, clipboard-osc and overlay-osc
88 extensions.
89 - the background extension will now be autoloaded when the OSC 20 or 705
90 sequence is received.
91 - The view_start perl method now scrolls to the bottom also when the
92 argument is greater than 0.
93 - eval scroll actions now scroll to the bottom when scrolling down and
94 there are less lines to scroll than the ones requested (reported by
95 Stephen Talley).
96 - allow perl-ext and perl-ext-common to override autoloaded extensions.
97 this allows tabbed to disable itself in subtabs, avoiding recursive
98 loading.
99 - update precompose table to unicode 13.0.
100 - update charset conversion tables to perl 5.32 (this only affected
101 cs_koi8_u_from_unicode).
102 - unicode characters > 0x100000 were not handled correctly w.r.t.
103 font rendering.
104 - replace bitstream vera by dejavu sans, as it has replaced the former
105 almost everywhere.
106 - urxvt will now try tic -x first and only fall back to tic without -x
107 when tic -x fails.
108 - shave off over 1K of code size from urclock by replacing the sine table
109 with a slightly less accurate fixed point approximation.
110 - do not specify indentation with =over in pod, this is no longer
111 needed with semi-modern pod tools and gives the formatter more
112 stylistic freedom.
113 - background extension did not set the "size-sensitive" flag
114 when repeat mode wasn't normal.
115 - extensions are now subjected to "use strict 'subs'".
116 - avoid crashing when xft successfully opens a font but then somehow
117 can't lock the face.
118
1199.26 Fri May 14 19:14:14 CEST 2021
120 - ev_iouring.c was wrongly required during compilation, and wrongly
121 not packaged.
122
1239.25 Fri May 14 15:51:36 CEST 2021
124 - for the 17.5th anniversary, and because many distributions seem to
125 remove rxvt in favour of urxvt, this release resurrects rclock as
126 urclock.
127 - add support for systemd socket-based activation - debian bug #917105,
128 freebsd bug #234276.
129 - do not destruct perl on exit anymore: this might fail for a variety of
130 reasons, and takes unnecessary time.
131 - remove any macros from urxvtperl manpage(s), should fix debian
132 bug 858385.
133 - the old bg image resources are now provided by the background
134 extension, and perl is thus required for bg image support. No
135 configuration change is needed: urxvt autoloads the background
136 ext if any bg image resource/option is present (for OSC sequences to
137 work you need to enable it explicitly). The old bg image
138 resources are also now deprecated; users are encouraged to
139 switch to the new bg image interface (see man urxvt-background).
140 - confirm-paste now checks for any ctlchars, not just newlines.
141 - searchable scrollback will now ignore bracketed paste mode sequences
142 (prompted by Daniel Gröber's patch).
143 - drop ISO 2022 locale support. ISO 2022 encodings are not supported in
144 POSIX locales and clash with vt100 charset emulation (the luit
145 program can be used as a substitute).
146 - perl didn't parse rgba colours specified as an array correctly,
147 only allowing 0 and 100% intensity for each component (this affected
148 fill and tint).
149 - when iterating over resources, urxvt will now try to properly handle
150 multipart resources (such as "*background.expr"), for the benefit
151 of autoloading perl extensions.
152 - ESC G (query rxvt graphics mode) has been disabled due to security
153 implications. The rxvt graphics mode was removed in rxvt-unicode 1.5,
154 and no programs relying on being able to query the mode are known.
155 - work around API change breakage in perl 5.28, based on a patch by
156 Roman Bogorodskiy.
157 - improved security: rob nation's (obsolete) graphics mode queries
158 no longer reply with linefeed in secure/default mode.
42 - ISO 8613-3 direct colour SGR sequences (patch by Fengguang Wu). 159 - ISO 8613-3 direct colour SGR sequences (patch by Fengguang Wu).
43 - xterm focus reporting mode (patch by Daniel Hahler). 160 - xterm focus reporting mode (patch by Daniel Hahler).
161 - xterm SGR mouse mode.
162 - implement DECRQM. Patch by Přemysl Eric Janouch.
163 - add missing color index parameter to OSC 4 response. Patch
164 by Přemysl Eric Janouch.
44 - in some window managers, if smart resize was enabled, urxvt 165 - in some window managers, if smart resize was enabled, urxvt
45 erroneously moved the window on font change - awesome bug 166 erroneously moved the window on font change - awesome bug
46 #532, arch linux bug ##34807 (patch by Uli Schlachter). 167 #532, arch linux bug ##34807 (patch by Uli Schlachter).
168 - fix urxvtd crash when using a background expression.
169 - properly restore colors when using fading and reverse video
170 is enabled while urxvt is focused and then disabled while it
171 is not focused, or vice versa (patch by Daniel Hahler).
47 - fix high memory usage when an extension repeatedly hides and 172 - fix high memory usage when an extension repeatedly hides and
48 shows an overlay (reported by Marcel Lautenbach). 173 shows an overlay (reported by Marcel Lautenbach).
49 - the old bg image resources are now provided by the background 174 - expose priv_modes member and constants to perl extensions
50 extension, and perl is thus required for bg image support. No 175 (patch by Rastislav Barlik).
51 configuration change is needed: urxvt autoloads the background 176 - fix a whole slew of const sillyness, unfortunately forced upon
52 ext if any bg image resource/option is present. The old bg image 177 us by ISO C++.
53 resources are also now deprecated; users are encouraged to 178 - update to libecb 0x00010006.
54 switch to the new bg image interface (see man urxvt-background). 179 - disable all thread support in ecb.h as we presumably don't need it.
180 - slightly improve Makefile source dependencies.
181 - work around bugs in newer Pod::Xhtml versions (flags incorrect formatting codes
182 in xhtml/html sections but does not interpret correct ones).
