47TODO: compose chars should be rendered "in one go" for xft. maybe. possibly. 50 - implement a fix for CVE-2022-4170 (reported and analyzed by David Leadbeater).
48TODO: disbale bracketed paste mode option, too amny prorgams abuse it 51 While present in version 9.30, it should not be exploitable. It is exploitable
52 in versions 9.25 and 9.26, at least, and allows anybody controlling output to
53 the terminal to execute arbitrary code in the urxvt process.
54 - the background extension no longer requires off focus fading support
55 to be compiled in.
56 - the confirm-paste extension now offers a choice betwene pasting the original
57 or a sanitized version, and also frees up memory used to store the paste text
58 immediately.
59 - fix compiling without frills.
60 - fix rewrapMode: never.
61 - fix regression that caused urxvt to no longer emit responses
62 to OSC color queries other than OSC 4 ones.
63 - fix regression that caused urxvt to no longer process OSC 705.
64 - restore CENTURY to be 1900 to "improve" year parsing in urclock (or at
65 least go back to the old interpretation) (based on an analysis
66 by Tommy Pettersson).
67 - exec_async (used e.g. by the matcher extension to spawn processes) now
68 sets the URXVT_EXT_WINDOWID variable to the window id of the terminal.
69 - implement -fps option/refreshRate resource to change the default 60 Hz
70 maximum refresh limiter. I always wanted an fps option, but had to
71 wait for a user requesting it.
72 - new clickthrough extension.
73 - perl now also requires Xext.
74 - X region and shape extension functionality has been exposed to perl
75 extensions.
76 - RENDER extension no longer depends on ENABLE_XIM_ONTHESPOT.

789.30 Sat 27 Nov 2021 21:07:09 CET
79 - the background extension did not initialise properly when automatically
80 loaded via the OSC.
81 - new "on_attach" hook type implemented, to initialise late-loading
82 extensions.

849.29 Mon 22 Nov 2021 18:07:14 CET
85 - libptytty (http://dist.schmorp.de/libptytty/) is now a required
86 external dependency.
49 - enable confirm-paste extzensions by default, can be disabled by e.g. 87 - enable confirm-paste extension by default, can be disabled by e.g.
50 URxvt.perl-ext: -confirm-paste 88 URxvt.perl-ext: -confirm-paste
89 - Key bindings specified with the -keysym option or with resources of
90 the form URxvt*keysym work again. Such resources, as opposed to
91 resources of the form URxvt.keysym, were not officially allowed but
92 accepted, so ignoring them is considered a regression.
93 - new option/resource -rm/rewrapMode, which sets the line rewrap
94 mode to auto, never or always.
95 - new option/resource -dpb/disablePasteBrackets, which can be used to
96 disable bracketed paste mode sequences, as more and more programs
97 abuse these sequences (typically in the name of security, but these
98 sequences are not improving security). Also, bracketed paste mode
99 is now under frills.
100 - add manpage for urclock.
101 - confirm-paste wrongly considered brackets as ctrlchars (patch by
102 Jakub Wilk, debian bug #995244).
51 - if urxvt cannot detect a good estimate for font width (because a font does 103 - if urxvt cannot detect a good estimate for font width (because a font does
52 not contain laitn characters at all for example), it will now fall 104 not contain latin characters at all for example), it will now fall
53 back to xft's max_advance_width, which works well with soem fonts. It 105 back to xft's max_advance_width, which works well with some fonts. It
54 currently will warn about this. 106 currently will warn about this.
55 - do not render variation selectors in the default font as boxes, treat 107 - do not render variation selectors in the default font as boxes, treat
56 them as zero-width characters. 108 them as zero-width characters.
57 - unicode characters outside of the BMP can now be rendered even 109 - change combining character architecture to allow fonts to handle
58 without --enable-unicode3, when using xft fonts. 110 combining sequences on their own. This could allow future renderers
59 - urxvt now passes full combining character sequences to xft, 111 to be more intelligent about these sequences.
60 increasing the chance of it doing something useful with it, such 112 - use the previous enhancement to allow unicode characters outside of the
61 as correctly applying variant selectors. 113 BMP to be rendered even without --enable-unicode3, as long as an
114 xft with the character is configured.
115 It's recommended to stay with disabled unicode3 even more now.
116 - freetype/xft have been verified to return nonsensical offsets for
117 combining characters. urxvt tries to compensate to some extent,
118 but diacritics will be slightly off in many cases, and far off in
119 some cases (e.g. input mono).
120 - when checking for overlap/careful handling, take non-basefont
121 character shifts into account.
122 - extensions can now request autoloading on OSC and Perl OSC sequences,
123 implement this for the background, clipboard-osc and overlay-osc
124 extensions.
125 - the background extension will now be autoloaded when the OSC 20 or 705
126 sequence is received.
127 - added OSC 776 sequence to return character cell width, height and font
128 ascent, which is useful when using urxvt as slave to calculate window
129 size form or to row/column count.
130 - matcher extension documentation now points out some requirements for
131 regular expressions. the default url matching regex will now try
132 to match IRLs in addition to URLs.
133 - The view_start perl method now scrolls to the bottom also when the
134 argument is greater than 0.
135 - eval scroll actions now scroll to the bottom when scrolling down and
136 there are less lines to scroll than the ones requested (reported by
137 Stephen Talley).
62 - allow perl-ext and perl-ext-common to override autoloaded extensions. 138 - allow perl-ext and perl-ext-common to override autoloaded extensions.

64 loading. 140 loading.
65 - update precompose table to unicode 13.0. 141 - update precompose table to unicode 13.0.

67 cs_koi8_u_from_unicode). 143 cs_koi8_u_from_unicode).
68 - unicode characters > 0x100000 were not handled correctly w.r.t. 144 - unicode characters > 0x100000 were not handled correctly w.r.t.
69 font rendering. 145 font rendering.
146 - replace bitstream vera by dejavu sans, as it has replaced the former
147 almost everywhere.
148 - urxvt will now try tic -x first and only fall back to tic without -x
149 when tic -x fails.
150 - fix urclock not erasing the old date on the clock face, causing
151 overdraw, plus a host of other small fixes and improvements.
152 - shave off over 1K of code size from urclock by replacing the sine table
153 with a slightly less accurate fixed point approximation.
154 - do not specify indentation with =over in pod, this is no longer
155 needed with semi-modern pod tools and gives the formatter more
156 stylistic freedom.
157 - background extension did not set the "size-sensitive" flag
158 when repeat mode wasn't normal.
159 - extensions are now subjected to "use strict 'subs'".
160 - avoid crashing when xft successfully opens a font but then somehow
161 can't lock the face.
162 - locale_decode/encode api methods now pass through undef unchanged.
163 - fix undefined behaviour in the perl hook function, as diagnosed by clang.
