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