5108:11:50 <dg> it seems to depend a bit on setup, two in a row maybe needed
52- what font dpes urxvtr flal back ion this case? why not fixed?
5307:28:56 <dg> schmorp: try printf '\e]50;\a\xe7\xaf\xad'
5407:29:15 <dg> i'm guessing the builtin font doesn't have that character (篭)
5507:29:40 <dg> on one machine with 9.30 that segfaults, with what looks like a null pointer deref
5607:29:58 <dg> on latest dev, but a different machine it hangs
5707:33:26 <dg> hmm, and on openbsd it doesn't even hang with that reduction, but the actual case the fuzzer
58 found does hang

61TODO: nmeum reports that when the wm resizes urxvt while it opens, the prompt is now somewhere in the middle
62of the window, rather than near the top. this behaviour change wss part of the wrapmode fix, and should normally
63prevent from readline jumping around on resizes. running urxvt with the exact geometry that the wm will assign "fixed" this.

66 - fix memory leak when a background expression uses the muladd
67 or focus_fade operators (reported by Erik-Jan).
68 - fix reference counting of values returned by some perl bindings.
69 - fix OSC responses with 7-bit ST (reported by Stuart Henderson).
70 - fix mouse reporting of motion notify events to report 3 as
71 the button number when no button is pressed, same as xterm.
72 Previously urxvt reported the number of the last button
73 pressed or an invalid value, before the first button press
74 (reported by Uli Schlachter).
75 - change the encoding of buttons 8-11 in mouse reporting
76 sequences to match xterm's and enable reporting of release
77 events for them (patch by Pierre-Marc Fournier).
78 - clamp coordinates in mouse reporting sequences to the number
79 of rows and columns (patch by Nick Hanley).
80 - added Alt_L/ALt_R and updated some keys in iso 14755 5.2 mode.
81 - perl 5.38 does not handle empty locale names, use "C" instead
82 (patch by sxzzsf).
83 - add emoji test character, so that emoji-only fonts can be used without
84 any tricks.
85
869.31 Mon 02 Jan 2023 18:13:16 CET
87 - implement a fix for CVE-2022-4170 (reported and analyzed by David Leadbeater).
88 While present in version 9.30, it should not be exploitable. It is exploitable
89 in versions 9.25 and 9.26, at least, and allows anybody controlling output to
90 the terminal to execute arbitrary code in the urxvt process.
91 - the background extension no longer requires off focus fading support
92 to be compiled in.
93 - the confirm-paste extension now offers a choice between pasting the original
94 or a sanitized version, and also frees up memory used to store the paste text
95 immediately.
96 - fix compiling without frills.
97 - fix rewrapMode: never.
98 - fix regression that caused urxvt to no longer emit responses
99 to OSC color queries other than OSC 4 ones.
100 - fix regression that caused urxvt to no longer process OSC 705.
101 - restore CENTURY to be 1900 to "improve" year parsing in urclock (or at
102 least go back to the old interpretation) (based on an analysis
103 by Tommy Pettersson).
104 - exec_async (used e.g. by the matcher extension to spawn processes) now
105 sets the URXVT_EXT_WINDOWID variable to the window id of the terminal.
106 - implement -fps option/refreshRate resource to change the default 60 Hz
107 maximum refresh limiter. I always wanted an fps option, but had to
108 wait for a user requesting it.
109 - new clickthrough extension.
110 - perl now also requires Xext.
111 - X region and shape extension functionality has been exposed to perl
112 extensions.
113 - RENDER extension no longer depends on ENABLE_XIM_ONTHESPOT.
114
1159.30 Sat 27 Nov 2021 21:07:09 CET
116 - the background extension did not initialise properly when automatically
117 loaded via the OSC.
118 - new "on_attach" hook type implemented, to initialise late-loading
119 extensions.
120
1219.29 Mon 22 Nov 2021 18:07:14 CET
122 - libptytty (http://dist.schmorp.de/libptytty/) is now a required
123 external dependency.
124 - enable confirm-paste extension by default, can be disabled by e.g.
125 URxvt.perl-ext: -confirm-paste
126 - Key bindings specified with the -keysym option or with resources of
127 the form URxvt*keysym work again. Such resources, as opposed to
128 resources of the form URxvt.keysym, were not officially allowed but
129 accepted, so ignoring them is considered a regression.
130 - new option/resource -rm/rewrapMode, which sets the line rewrap
131 mode to auto, never or always.
132 - new option/resource -dpb/disablePasteBrackets, which can be used to
133 disable bracketed paste mode sequences, as more and more programs
134 abuse these sequences (typically in the name of security, but these
135 sequences are not improving security). Also, bracketed paste mode
136 is now under frills.
137 - add manpage for urclock.
138 - confirm-paste wrongly considered brackets as ctrlchars (patch by
139 Jakub Wilk, debian bug #995244).
140 - if urxvt cannot detect a good estimate for font width (because a font does
141 not contain latin characters at all for example), it will now fall
142 back to xft's max_advance_width, which works well with some fonts. It
143 currently will warn about this.
144 - do not render variation selectors in the default font as boxes, treat
145 them as zero-width characters.
146 - change combining character architecture to allow fonts to handle
147 combining sequences on their own. This could allow future renderers
148 to be more intelligent about these sequences.
149 - use the previous enhancement to allow unicode characters outside of the
150 BMP to be rendered even without --enable-unicode3, as long as an
151 xft with the character is configured.
152 It's recommended to stay with disabled unicode3 even more now.
153 - freetype/xft have been verified to return nonsensical offsets for
154 combining characters. urxvt tries to compensate to some extent,
155 but diacritics will be slightly off in many cases, and far off in
156 some cases (e.g. input mono).
157 - when checking for overlap/careful handling, take non-basefont
158 character shifts into account.
159 - extensions can now request autoloading on OSC and Perl OSC sequences,
160 implement this for the background, clipboard-osc and overlay-osc
161 extensions.
162 - the background extension will now be autoloaded when the OSC 20 or 705
163 sequence is received.
164 - added OSC 776 sequence to return character cell width, height and font
165 ascent, which is useful when using urxvt as slave to calculate window
166 size form or to row/column count.
167 - matcher extension documentation now points out some requirements for
168 regular expressions. the default url matching regex will now try
169 to match IRLs in addition to URLs.
170 - The view_start perl method now scrolls to the bottom also when the
171 argument is greater than 0.
172 - eval scroll actions now scroll to the bottom when scrolling down and
173 there are less lines to scroll than the ones requested (reported by
174 Stephen Talley).
175 - allow perl-ext and perl-ext-common to override autoloaded extensions.
176 this allows tabbed to disable itself in subtabs, avoiding recursive
177 loading.
178 - update precompose table to unicode 13.0.
179 - update charset conversion tables to perl 5.32 (this only affected
180 cs_koi8_u_from_unicode).
181 - unicode characters > 0x100000 were not handled correctly w.r.t.
182 font rendering.
183 - replace bitstream vera by dejavu sans, as it has replaced the former
184 almost everywhere.
185 - urxvt will now try tic -x first and only fall back to tic without -x
186 when tic -x fails.
187 - fix urclock not erasing the old date on the clock face, causing
188 overdraw, plus a host of other small fixes and improvements.
189 - shave off over 1K of code size from urclock by replacing the sine table
190 with a slightly less accurate fixed point approximation.
191 - do not specify indentation with =over in pod, this is no longer
192 needed with semi-modern pod tools and gives the formatter more
193 stylistic freedom.
194 - background extension did not set the "size-sensitive" flag
195 when repeat mode wasn't normal.
196 - extensions are now subjected to "use strict 'subs'".
197 - avoid crashing when xft successfully opens a font but then somehow
198 can't lock the face.
199 - locale_decode/encode api methods now pass through undef unchanged.
200 - fix undefined behaviour in the perl hook function, as diagnosed by clang.

2029.26 Fri May 14 19:14:14 CEST 2021
203 - ev_iouring.c was wrongly required during compilation, and wrongly
204 not packaged.

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