No + configuration change is needed: urxvt autoloads the background + ext if any bg image resource/option is present (for OSC sequences to + work you need to enable it explicitly). The old bg image + resources are also now deprecated; users are encouraged to + switch to the new bg image interface (see man urxvt-background). + - confirm-paste now checks for any ctlchars, not just newlines. + - searchable scrollback will now ignore bracketed paste mode sequences + (prompted by Daniel Gröber's patch). + - drop ISO 2022 locale support. ISO 2022 encodings are not supported in + POSIX locales and clash with vt100 charset emulation (the luit + program can be used as a substitute). + - perl didn't parse rgba colours specified as an array correctly, + only allowing 0 and 100% intensity for each component (this affected + fill and tint). + - when iterating over resources, urxvt will now try to properly handle + multipart resources (such as "*background.expr"), for the benefit + of autoloading perl extensions. + - ESC G (query rxvt graphics mode) has been disabled due to security + implications.

Pohly). + - change the width of underline and i-beam cursor to 2 pixels (based on + a patch by Omar Sandoval). + - add pointerShape resource to change the mouse pointer shape + (based on a patch by Brian Watson). + - a keysym resource for a key which is already bound to an + action now properly rebinds the key. + - do not report mouse motion events if Shift is active (patch by Daniel Hahler). + - put the alpha component last in responses to OSC color queries + (patch by Benjamin Herr). + - the key_press hook is now invoked before processing the + event, as documented. This change was done in 9.21 but not + announced and fixes debian bugs #511377, #531751 and red hat + bug #1105069. Note that this change breaks a few scripts, + such as mark-yank-urls, which rely on the previous buggy + behaviour that urxvt processes the event (in particular + keysym bindings) before invoking the hook. + - the tabbed extension now properly refreshes the active tab + on a key press when the mouse pointer is outside the terminal + window. + - add 'lookup_keysym' perl method to lookup the action bound + to a key combination. + - a key combination bound to 'matcher:select' can now be used + to cycle through the matches in matcher. + - change perl integer accessors (->width et al.) into mutators. + +9.21 Wed Dec 31 14:50:03 CET 2014 + - the "moa redraw 8-bit british vintage colour management" release. + - NOTICE: this release updates terminfo. + - fix pixel droppings on overdraw when a secondary core font has the + same height but different ascent. + - implement cvvis in terminfo as blinking cursor, to distinguish it + from cnorm (emacs uses cvvis which is commonly a blinking cursor). + - when xft support was compiled in, colour queries erroneously returned + premultiplied values, this also affected internal queries, for example + when calculating faded colour. alpha is now divided out when possible, + which is more correct but loses colour resolution. + - add DECSCUSR xterm extension to set the cursor to a vertical bar. + - add 'extension:string' action, and associated on_action perl + hook, for keysym resources that invokes actions provided by + perl extensions. The 'perl:string' action and + on_user_command hook are deprecated but still supported. + - add 'builtin-string' action for keysym resources that restores string + mappings for keys that have predefined actions in urxvt. + - add -k option to urxvtc for killing the daemon process. + - document urxvtd's -e/--eval option that was implemented in 9.16, + but not documented. + - add -dockapp option to make the wm treat urxvt as a dockapp. + - add -mc option and multiClickTime resource to set the maximum time + between multi-click select events (patch by Joe Peterson). + - new 'eval' extension to evaluate arbitrary perl code with keysym + bindings. The extension also provides methods that implement basic + actions, such as pasting selections and scrolling. + - the macosx-clipboard and macosx-clipboard-native extensions have been removed. + - kuake extension now uses the kuake.hotkey resource to specify the hotkey. + - new 'matcher:select' mode of matcher to iterate over the matches with the keyboard. + - the 'matcher:list' feature of matcher now honours the launcher + associated to a matched pattern. + - speed-up matcher underlining on very long lines (reported by Edward Z. Yang). + - fix up/down commands of searchable-scrollback so that they always move + to the previous/next logical line with a match, if any. + - searchable-scrollback resource has been deprecated (use keysym instead). + - extension parameter passing is deprecated (use resource mechanism instead). + - upgrade to GPLv3 (see COPYING). + - compile out of the box on Solaris 10, again. + - fix height and position of the stippled area in next scrollbar (patch + by Thomas Otto). + - fix off-by-one bug causing the iso14755 window not to jump out of the + way properly. + - fix crash that may happen if a lib to which urxvt is linked to calls setenv. + - fix memory leak in special_{encode,decode} perl methods. + - fix refresh bug that occurs when reverse video is set on a cell + containing a space and with the same bg and fg colour, red hat bug + #830236. + - fix crash that may happen if an x error is received after a terminal + window/popup has been destroyed already. + - removed superfluous 0 digit from sgr terminfo sequence. + - greatly improve colour allocation on colour-starved pseudocolour + displays to avoid read-write cells instead of simply failing + (this is only relevant for antique 8bpp frame buffers). + - do not free fade colours when not doing fading (this is likely + only relevant for antique 8bpp frame buffers). + - do not specialcase 2 or 4 colour visuals, leading to + simpler and actually more correct code. + - hopefully no longer leak colours on !truecolour visuals. + - use consistent method names (scr_recolour => scr_recolor). + - use simpler (but slightly less bogus) formula for nearest + colour choice (this is likely only relevant for antique 8bpp + frame buffers). + - remove fallback behaviour when initialising colours - the + behaviour was inconsistent between startup vs. later and + was only effective when valid colours couldn't be allocated. + +9.20 Sat Apr 26 16:22:27 CEST 2014 + - (libptytty) fix bug that prevented urxvtd from writing utmp + entries when using --fork (reported by Ryan Kavanagh). + - security bugfix: window property values could be queried even + in secure mode (reported by Conor McCarthy). + - fix build when perl is enabled and fading is disabled. + - fix regression that broke continuous scrolling when pressing + and holding the scrollbar up or down button, gentoo bug #493992. + - increase the maximum length of a command sequence to 32k bytes, + to allow longer OSC sequences (previous limit was 2k). + - new Ctrl-Meta-c and Ctrl-Meta-v bindings to interact with + the CLIPBOARD selection. + - new extension: selection-to-clipboard. + - the extensions macosx-clipboard and macosx-clipboard-native + are deprecated and will be removed in the next release. + Support for the clipboard on OS X can be more generally + enabled by setting the XQuartz preference to sync the OS X + pasteboard and the X11 clipboard. + +9.19 Sun Oct 27 17:16:07 CET 2013 + - work around perl 5.18.0 breakage in tabbed extension + (reported by Karol Blazewicz) and in pod (Dominic Hargreaves). + - fix regression that caused the double-click word selection to + erroneously include a tab on the left of the selected word. + - implement FOCUS variable and focus_fade function in background + expression, to allow focus-sensitive background images. + - add support for the set cursor style (DECSCUSR) control + function. + - honour cursorColor also when the cursor style is underline. + - export some Color_xxx constants to Perl. + +9.18 Sun Mar 24 15:33:35 CET 2013 + - fix regression that caused artifacts on resize. + +9.17 Fri Mar 1 13:46:08 CET 2013 + - add shade operator in background perl extension. + -
