50 - do not render variation selectors in the default font as boxes, treat
51 them as zero-width characters.
52 - unicode characters outside of the BMP can now be rendered even
53 without --enable-unicode3, when using xft fonts.
54 - allow perl-ext and perl-ext-common to override autoloaded extensions.
55 this allows tabbed to disable itself in subtabs, avoiding recursive
56 loading.
57 - update precompose table to unicode 13.0.
58 - update charset conversion tables to perl 5.32 (this only affected
59 cs_koi8_u_from_unicode).
60 - unicode characters > 0x100000 were not handled correctly w.r.t.
61 font rendering.
62
639.26 Fri May 14 19:14:14 CEST 2021
64 - ev_iouring.c was wrongly required during compilation, and wrongly
65 not packaged.
66
679.25 Fri May 14 15:51:36 CEST 2021
68 - for the 17.5th anniversary, and because many distributions seem to
69 remove rxvt in favour of urxvt, this release resurrects rclock as
70 urclock.
71 - add support for systemd socket-based activation - debian bug #917105,
72 freebsd bug #234276.
73 - do not destruct perl on exit anymore: this might fail for a variety of
74 reasons, and takes unnecessary time.
75 - remove any macros from urxvtperl manpage(s), should fix debian
76 bug 858385.
77 - the old bg image resources are now provided by the background
78 extension, and perl is thus required for bg image support. No
79 configuration change is needed: urxvt autoloads the background
80 ext if any bg image resource/option is present (for OSC sequences to
81 work you need to enable it explicitly). The old bg image
82 resources are also now deprecated; users are encouraged to
83 switch to the new bg image interface (see man urxvt-background).
84 - confirm-paste now checks for any ctlchars, not just newlines.
85 - searchable scrollback will now ignore bracketed paste mode sequences
86 (prompted by Daniel Gröber's patch).
87 - drop ISO 2022 locale support. ISO 2022 encodings are not supported in
88 POSIX locales and clash with vt100 charset emulation (the luit
89 program can be used as a substitute).
90 - perl didn't parse rgba colours specified as an array correctly,
91 only allowing 0 and 100% intensity for each component (this affected
92 fill and tint).
93 - when iterating over resources, urxvt will now try to properly handle
94 multipart resources (such as "*background.expr"), for the benefit
95 of autoloading perl extensions.
96 - ESC G (query rxvt graphics mode) has been disabled due to security
97 implications. The rxvt graphics mode was removed in rxvt-unicode 1.5,
98 and no programs relying on being able to query the mode are known.
99 - work around API change breakage in perl 5.28, based on a patch by
100 Roman Bogorodskiy.
101 - improved security: rob nation's (obsolete) graphics mode queries
102 no longer reply with linefeed in secure/default mode.
103 - ISO 8613-3 direct colour SGR sequences (patch by Fengguang Wu).
104 - xterm focus reporting mode (patch by Daniel Hahler).
105 - xterm SGR mouse mode.
106 - implement DECRQM. Patch by Přemysl Eric Janouch.
107 - add missing color index parameter to OSC 4 response. Patch
108 by Přemysl Eric Janouch.
109 - in some window managers, if smart resize was enabled, urxvt
110 erroneously moved the window on font change - awesome bug
111 #532, arch linux bug ##34807 (patch by Uli Schlachter).
112 - fix urxvtd crash when using a background expression.
113 - properly restore colors when using fading and reverse video
114 is enabled while urxvt is focused and then disabled while it
115 is not focused, or vice versa (patch by Daniel Hahler).
116 - fix high memory usage when an extension repeatedly hides and
117 shows an overlay (reported by Marcel Lautenbach).
118 - expose priv_modes member and constants to perl extensions
119 (patch by Rastislav Barlik).
120 - fix a whole slew of const sillyness, unfortunately forced upon
121 us by ISO C++.
122 - update to libecb 0x00010006.
123 - disable all thread support in ecb.h as we presumably don't need it.
124 - slightly improve Makefile source dependencies.
125 - work around bugs in newer Pod::Xhtml versions (flags incorrect formatting codes
126 in xhtml/html sections but does not interpret correct ones).
127
1289.22 Sat Jan 23 21:07:33 CET 2016
129 - NOTICE: this release updates terminfo.
130 - add terminfo capabilities for various ctrl and shift-ctrl key variants
131 (patch by Sebastian Schmidt).
132 - fix longstanding core font encoding bug where some character
133 ranges could not be mapped from unicode to the font: affected
134 encodings are big5, gb2312, iso8859-8 (hebrew), jis0201 and
135 ksc5601 (reported by Mikachu).
136 - fix crash when the number of columns is 1 and a 0 width character is inserted
137 (reported by Kuang-che Wu).
138 - fix a crash when parsing an invalid color specification (reported by Kuang-che Wu).
139 - fix a buffer overflow in font name parser (reported by Kuang-che Wu).
140 - do not start blinking cursor if the window is unfocused (reported by
141 Devin J. Pohly).
142 - change the width of underline and i-beam cursor to 2 pixels (based on
143 a patch by Omar Sandoval).
144 - add pointerShape resource to change the mouse pointer shape
145 (based on a patch by Brian Watson).
146 - a keysym resource for a key which is already bound to an
147 action now properly rebinds the key.
148 - do not report mouse motion events if Shift is active (patch by Daniel Hahler).
149 - put the alpha component last in responses to OSC color queries
150 (patch by Benjamin Herr).
151 - the key_press hook is now invoked before processing the
152 event, as documented. This change was done in 9.21 but not
153 announced and fixes debian bugs #511377, #531751 and red hat
154 bug #1105069. Note that this change breaks a few scripts,
155 such as mark-yank-urls, which rely on the previous buggy
156 behaviour that urxvt processes the event (in particular
157 keysym bindings) before invoking the hook.
158 - the tabbed extension now properly refreshes the active tab
159 on a key press when the mouse pointer is outside the terminal
160 window.
161 - add 'lookup_keysym' perl method to lookup the action bound
162 to a key combination.
163 - a key combination bound to 'matcher:select' can now be used
164 to cycle through the matches in matcher.
165 - change perl integer accessors (->width et al.) into mutators.
166
1679.21 Wed Dec 31 14:50:03 CET 2014
168 - the "moa redraw 8-bit british vintage colour management" release.
169 - NOTICE: this release updates terminfo.
170 - fix pixel droppings on overdraw when a secondary core font has the
171 same height but different ascent.
172 - implement cvvis in terminfo as blinking cursor, to distinguish it
173 from cnorm (emacs uses cvvis which is commonly a blinking cursor).
174 - when xft support was compiled in, colour queries erroneously returned
175 premultiplied values, this also affected internal queries, for example
176 when calculating faded colour. alpha is now divided out when possible,
177 which is more correct but loses colour resolution.
178 - add DECSCUSR xterm extension to set the cursor to a vertical bar.
179 - add 'extension:string' action, and associated on_action perl
180 hook, for keysym resources that invokes actions provided by
181 perl extensions. The 'perl:string' action and
182 on_user_command hook are deprecated but still supported.
183 - add 'builtin-string' action for keysym resources that restores string
184 mappings for keys that have predefined actions in urxvt.
185 - add -k option to urxvtc for killing the daemon process.
186 - document urxvtd's -e/--eval option that was implemented in 9.16,
187 but not documented.
188 - add -dockapp option to make the wm treat urxvt as a dockapp.
189 - add -mc option and multiClickTime resource to set the maximum time
190 between multi-click select events (patch by Joe Peterson).
191 - new 'eval' extension to evaluate arbitrary perl code with keysym
192 bindings. The extension also provides methods that implement basic
193 actions, such as pasting selections and scrolling.
194 - the macosx-clipboard and macosx-clipboard-native extensions have been removed.
195 - kuake extension now uses the kuake.hotkey resource to specify the hotkey.
196 - new 'matcher:select' mode of matcher to iterate over the matches with the keyboard.
197 - the 'matcher:list' feature of matcher now honours the launcher
198 associated to a matched pattern.
199 - speed-up matcher underlining on very long lines (reported by Edward Z. Yang).
200 - fix up/down commands of searchable-scrollback so that they always move
201 to the previous/next logical line with a match, if any.
202 - searchable-scrollback resource has been deprecated (use keysym instead).
203 - extension parameter passing is deprecated (use resource mechanism instead).
204 - upgrade to GPLv3 (see COPYING).
205 - compile out of the box on Solaris 10, again.
206 - fix height and position of the stippled area in next scrollbar (patch
207 by Thomas Otto).
208 - fix off-by-one bug causing the iso14755 window not to jump out of the
209 way properly.
210 - fix crash that may happen if a lib to which urxvt is linked to calls setenv.
211 - fix memory leak in special_{encode,decode} perl methods.
212 - fix refresh bug that occurs when reverse video is set on a cell
213 containing a space and with the same bg and fg colour, red hat bug
214 #830236.
215 - fix crash that may happen if an x error is received after a terminal
216 window/popup has been destroyed already.
217 - removed superfluous 0 digit from sgr terminfo sequence.
218 - greatly improve colour allocation on colour-starved pseudocolour
219 displays to avoid read-write cells instead of simply failing
220 (this is only relevant for antique 8bpp frame buffers).
221 - do not free fade colours when not doing fading (this is likely
222 only relevant for antique 8bpp frame buffers).
223 - do not specialcase 2 or 4 colour visuals, leading to
224 simpler and actually more correct code.
225 - hopefully no longer leak colours on !truecolour visuals.
226 - use consistent method names (scr_recolour => scr_recolor).
227 - use simpler (but slightly less bogus) formula for nearest
228 colour choice (this is likely only relevant for antique 8bpp
229 frame buffers).
230 - remove fallback behaviour when initialising colours - the
231 behaviour was inconsistent between startup vs. later and
232 was only effective when valid colours couldn't be allocated.
233
2349.20 Sat Apr 26 16:22:27 CEST 2014
235 - (libptytty) fix bug that prevented urxvtd from writing utmp
236 entries when using --fork (reported by Ryan Kavanagh).
237 - security bugfix: window property values could be queried even
238 in secure mode (reported by Conor McCarthy).
239 - fix build when perl is enabled and fading is disabled.
240 - fix regression that broke continuous scrolling when pressing
241 and holding the scrollbar up or down button, gentoo bug #493992.
242 - increase the maximum length of a command sequence to 32k bytes,
243 to allow longer OSC sequences (previous limit was 2k).
244 - new Ctrl-Meta-c and Ctrl-Meta-v bindings to interact with
245 the CLIPBOARD selection.
246 - new extension: selection-to-clipboard.
247 - the extensions macosx-clipboard and macosx-clipboard-native
248 are deprecated and will be removed in the next release.
249 Support for the clipboard on OS X can be more generally
250 enabled by setting the XQuartz preference to sync the OS X
251 pasteboard and the X11 clipboard.
252
2539.19 Sun Oct 27 17:16:07 CET 2013
254 - work around perl 5.18.0 breakage in tabbed extension
255 (reported by Karol Blazewicz) and in pod (Dominic Hargreaves).
256 - fix regression that caused the double-click word selection to
257 erroneously include a tab on the left of the selected word.
258 - implement FOCUS variable and focus_fade function in background
259 expression, to allow focus-sensitive background images.
260 - add support for the set cursor style (DECSCUSR) control
261 function.
262 - honour cursorColor also when the cursor style is underline.
263 - export some Color_xxx constants to Perl.
264
2659.18 Sun Mar 24 15:33:35 CET 2013
266 - fix regression that caused artifacts on resize.
267
2689.17 Fri Mar 1 13:46:08 CET 2013
269 - add shade operator in background perl extension.
270 - avoid starting or ending the selection in the middle of wide
271 characters to avoid artifacts (reported by Tiago Resende).
272 - fix artifacts that may occur if the character in the cursor
273 cell has width > 1 (reported by Tiago Resende).
274 - fix regression that causes artifacts on scrolling if
275 saveLines is 0 and the window is resized (reported by Bert
276 Münnich).
277 - fix build when perl is enabled and pixbuf and transparency
278 are disabled.
279
2809.16 Thu Dec 27 11:56:43 CET 2012
281 - the "so much new stuff your eyes will pop out" release.
282 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: renamed urlLauncher resource to url-launcher.
283 - fix processing of DEC private mode save sequences (patch by Patrick
284 Hemmer).
285 - perl extensions now have their own manpages, installed as urxvt-NAME(1),
286 e.g. urxvt-background(1) - see urxvt-extensions(1) for a list.
287 - fix disabling of cursor blink with the option-popup menu (based on a
288 patch by Jan Larres).
289 - the font height is not augmented anymore when lineSpace is non zero.
290 - fix "new pagemap" vs. "delete pagemap" mismatch ([] vs. non-[]),
291 as diagnosed by clang.
292 - fix height mismatch between active and inactive cursor when
293 lineSpace is non zero (patch by Stanislav Seletskiy).
294 - make it compile with LOCAL_X_IS_UNIX again (reported by
295 nickfailure@gmail.com).
296 - completely redone background pixmap support - users can now
297 specify arbitrary expressions (And programs) that calculate
298 new terminal backgrounds. see the urxvt-background manpage
299 for details.
300 - xrender is now required for background pixmap support.
301 - perl extensions can now provide commandline switches and resources
302 which show up in -help etc.
303 - iso14755 51 mode window now displays row and column.
304 - implement a -visual switch and move that and -depth to frills, also
305 warn when we can't get the requested visual.
306 - new env variable: RXVT_PERL_LIB.
307 - allocate all screen memory in one go and let the virtual memory
308 subsystem sort it out. this simplifies code, improves access
309 locality, saves a bit of ram and makes things a bit faster, too.
310 - remove support for libafterimage.
311 - update to CVS version of libev, for a whopping 11kb size decrease.
312 - do not ship yet another copy of ecb.h, use the one in libev or
313 libptytty instead.
314 - selectively mark some methods as cache-hot/cache cold, which
315 might speed up execution but definitely decreases codesize.
316 - Fix regression that prevented the scrollbar trough color
317 from being applied (reported by Derek B. Noonburg).
318 - Fix the scrollbar size for rxvt style (patch by Mark Robinson).
319
3209.15 Sat Jan 21 13:36:56 CET 2012
321 - remove "using namespace std" because clang erroneously
322 thinks thats an error.
323 - finding a matching font (e.g. bold version of the base font)
324 was broken (reported by Eamon Walker).
325 - fix parsing of bg image styles. They really work now.
326 - fix blurring of bg image borders when using xrender.
327 - fix xrender blur on common xrender implementations that do
328 not behave correctly when the same pixmap is used as source
329 and destination in composite operations.
330 - fix regression that caused tabbed to compute the wrong size
331 for tabs.
332 - allow again an empty suffix in a keysym list spec (patch by
333 Sung Pae).
334 - unsupported support for sun studio's CC added.
335 - fix -C option on solaris.
336
3379.14 Wed Dec 21 18:40:33 CET 2011
338 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: the urxvtd default socket path is now
339 $HOME/.urxvt/urxvtd-<nodename>.
340 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: the "list" keysym expansion now requires
341 loading of the "keysym-list" perl extension.
342 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: A scale value of 0 in the bg image
343 geometry no longer enables tiling, so as to make it possible
344 to disable both scaling and tiling.
345 - overhaul of the bg image operations. The old operations have
346 been deprecated in favour of elementary operations and
347 styles built on top of the new operations and scale/position
348 settings. (Emanuele Giaquinta).
349 - support for libafterimage is deprecated and will be removed
350 in the next release.
351 - fix a crash caused by selection_check not properly resetting
352 out-of-bounds mark values (can happen when extending a selection
353 while scrolling up in curses programs for example).
354 - do not move the selection when scrolling up and the selection is
355 outside the scrolling region (Emanuele Giaquinta).
356 - fix display of bold bright black (reported by Ben Winslow).
357 - fix memory leak when urgentOnBell is set (patch by Nathaniel
358 Filardo).
359 - fix a redraw bug that occurs when a bg pixmap is set and the
360 wm does not honour the size hints set by urxvt. Now urxvt
361 forces the size of the terminal window to be a multiple of
362 the cell size.
363 - sanitise the argument of SD / SU sequences. Fixes a possible
364 crash when the argument is big enough, red hat bug #711137
365 (Emanuele Giaquinta).
366 - correctly split long lines when scrolling.
367 - urxvt now looks for perl extensions also in $HOME/.urxvt/ext.
368 - add bell-command perl extension to execute a command when a
369 bell event occurs (Ryan Kavanagh).
370 - add set_urgency perl binding to set/reset the urgency hint.
371 - consume button release event in matcher (exg).
372 - keyboard accessible list of recent matches in matcher
373 (Bob Farrell).
374 - properly process 'keysym' sequences in tabbed when using
375 'focus follows mouse' and the focus is on the main window
376 but not on the active terminal window (patch by Martin
377 Pohlack).
378 - support for the freedesktop startup-notification protocol (patch by
379 Michael Stapelberg).
380 - the direction of VPR and VPB commands was reversed.
381 - fix alignment of inherited root pixmap when it is a different size
382 than the root window and the terminal window is off the left or top
383 edge (Mikachu).
384 - make $self visible in "eval perl expression" popup action, also
385 handle exceptions better.
386 - fix parsing of '-e' when it occurs as an option argument, such as in
387 'urxvt -title -e' (Emanuele Giaquinta).
388
3899.12 Wed Jun 29 14:34:28 CEST 2011
390 - fix regression in processing of SelectionNotify events.
391 urxvt would fail to request a selection if the owner did not
392 support the UTF8_STRING target.
393 - fix rendering of double width chars in certain circumstances, more
394 likely to happen if urxvt is compiled with 256 colors support as
395 urxvt runs out of fonts much earlier then. Fixes gentoo bug #358151
396 (Emanuele Giaquinta).
397 - restore support for 'list' syntax in keysym resources (requested by Sung Pae).
398 - always premultiply colour values - while this increases differences between
399 core fonts and xft, it is "more correct" in practical situations.
400 - disable PTYTTY_REENTRANT option - not needed for urxvt and saves a bit of code.
401 - remove lucidatypewriter from the list of fallback fonts, it was the only
402 non-xft non-cellfont in the list anyway.
403
4049.11 Mon May 2 10:34:46 CEST 2011
405 - fix compilation on GNU/Hurd, debian bug #624736.
406 - remove 'list' syntax for keysym resources, as it serves no useful purpose.
407 If you need it, poke us and provide a use case.
408 - fix alpha channel support. Premultiply alpha in colours if the visual
409 supports an alpha channel, as xrender expects premultiplied alpha
410 (Emanuele Giaquinta).
411 - fix reply to a selection request sent by an obsolete client
412 such as syncterm (patch by Marcin Cieslak).
413 - fix crash when the window is resized and the overlay is active
414 (Emanuele Giaquinta, reported by Ryan Kavanagh).
24 - match character-wise rather than byte-wise in selection 415 - match character-wise rather than byte-wise in selection
25 extension again. perl 5.8.9+ is required to avoid extreme 416 extension again. perl 5.8.9+ is required to avoid extreme
26 slowdowns. Fixes debian bugs #523072, #616463. 417 slowdowns. Fixes debian bugs #523072, #616463.
27 - fix a possible crash if the INCR transfer process for a 418 - fix a possible crash if the INCR transfer process for a
28 selection property timeouts and at least one chunk is 419 selection property timeouts and at least one chunk is
29 received. (Emanuele Giaquinta) 420 received. (Emanuele Giaquinta)
30 - work around as memory corruption bug in xorg's XrmSetDatabase (apparently 421 - work around a memory corruption bug in xorg's XrmSetDatabase (apparently
31 broken since http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/xorg-commit-diffs/2004-March/000239.html). 422 broken since http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/xorg-commit-diffs/2004-March/000239.html).
32 - fix memory corruption bug when custom command sequences bound to keys 423 - fix memory corruption bug when custom command sequences bound to keys
33 were injected into an already-full pty input buffer. 424 were injected into an already-full pty input buffer.
34 - gdk-pixbuf is autodetected by default and preferred over libafterimage. 425 - gdk-pixbuf is autodetected by default and preferred over libafterimage.
35 - do not prepend a newline to the selection text when the starting line 426 - do not prepend a newline to the selection text when the starting line
