49 - enable confirm-paste extension by default, can be disabled by e.g.
50 URxvt.perl-ext: -confirm-paste
51 - Key bindings specified with the -keysym option or with resources of
52 the form URxvt*keysym work again. Such resources, as opposed to
53 resources of the form URxvt.keysym, were not officially allowed but
54 accepted, so ignoring them is considered a regression.
55 - new option/resource -rm/rewrapMode, which sets the line rewrap
56 mode to auto, never or always.
57 - new option/resource -dpb/disablePasteBrackets, which can be used to
58 disable bracketed paste mode sequences, as more and more programs
59 abuse these sequences (typically in the name of security, but these
60 sequences are not improving security). Also, bracketed paste mode
61 is now under frills.
62 - if urxvt cannot detect a good estimate for font width (because a font does
63 not contain latin characters at all for example), it will now fall
64 back to xft's max_advance_width, which works well with some fonts. It
65 currently will warn about this.
66 - do not render variation selectors in the default font as boxes, treat
67 them as zero-width characters.
68 - change combining character architecture to allow fonts to handle
69 combining sequences on their own. This could allow future renderers
70 to be more intelligent about these sequences.
71 - use the previous enhancement to allow unicode characters outside of the
72 BMP to be rendered even without --enable-unicode3, as long as an
73 xft with the character is configured.
74 It's recommended to stay with disabled unicode3 even more now.
75 - freetype/xft have been verified to return nonsensical offsets for
76 combining characters. urxvt tries to compensate to some extent,
77 but diacritics will be slightly off in many cases, and far off in
78 some cases (e.g. input mono).
79 - when checking for overlap/careful handling, take non-basefont
80 character shifts into account.
81 - extensions can now request autoloading on OSC and Perl OSC sequences,
82 implement this for the background, clipboard-osc and overlay-osc
83 extensions.
84 - the background extension will now be autoloaded when the OSC 20 or 705
85 sequence is received.
86 - The view_start perl method now scrolls to the bottom also when the
87 argument is greater than 0.
88 - eval scroll actions now scroll to the bottom when scrolling down and
89 there are less lines to scroll than the ones requested (reported by
90 Stephen Talley).
91 - allow perl-ext and perl-ext-common to override autoloaded extensions.
92 this allows tabbed to disable itself in subtabs, avoiding recursive
93 loading.
94 - update precompose table to unicode 13.0.
95 - update charset conversion tables to perl 5.32 (this only affected
96 cs_koi8_u_from_unicode).
97 - unicode characters > 0x100000 were not handled correctly w.r.t.
98 font rendering.
99 - replace bitstream vera by dejavu sans, as it has replaced the former
100 almost everywhere.
101 - shave off over 1K of code size from urclock by replacing the sine table
102 with a slightly less accurate fixed point approximation.
103 - do not specify< indentation with =over in pod, this is no longer
104 needed with semi-modern pod tools and gives the formatter more
105 stylistic freedom.
106 - background extension did not set thre "size-sensitive" flag
107 when repeat mode wasn't normal.
108 - extensions are now subjected to "use strict 'subs'".

111 - ev_iouring.c was wrongly required during compilation, and wrongly
112 not packaged.

115 - for the 17.5th anniversary, and because many distributions seem to
116 remove rxvt in favour of urxvt, this release resurrects rclock as
117 urclock.
