48TODO: disbale bracketed paste mode option, too amny prorgams abuse it
49TODO: undo multi combining char renering for xft for the time being
50 - enable confirm-paste extension by default, can be disabled by e.g.
51 URxvt.perl-ext: -confirm-paste
52 - if urxvt cannot detect a good estimate for font width (because a font does
53 not contain laitn characters at all for example), it will now fall
54 back to xft's max_advance_width, which works well with soem fonts. It
55 currently will warn about this.
56 - do not render variation selectors in the default font as boxes, treat
57 them as zero-width characters.
58 - change combining character architecture to allow fonts to handle
59 combining sequences on their own. This could allow future renderers
60 to be more intelligent about these sequences.
61 - use the previous enhancement to allow unicode characters outside of the
62 BMP to be rendered even without --enable-unicode3, as long as an
63 xft with the character is configured.
64 It's recommended to stay with disabled unicode3 even more now.
65 - freetype/xft have been verified to return nonsensical offsets for
66 combining characters. urxvt tries to compensate to some extent,
67 but diacritics will be slightly off in many cases, and far off in
68 some cases (e.g. input mono).
69 - allow perl-ext and perl-ext-common to override autoloaded extensions.
70 this allows tabbed to disable itself in subtabs, avoiding recursive
71 loading.
72 - update precompose table to unicode 13.0.
73 - update charset conversion tables to perl 5.32 (this only affected
74 cs_koi8_u_from_unicode).
75 - unicode characters > 0x100000 were not handled correctly w.r.t.
76 font rendering.
77
789.26 Fri May 14 19:14:14 CEST 2021
79 - ev_iouring.c was wrongly required during compilation, and wrongly
80 not packaged.
81
829.25 Fri May 14 15:51:36 CEST 2021
83 - for the 17.5th anniversary, and because many distributions seem to
84 remove rxvt in favour of urxvt, this release resurrects rclock as
85 urclock.
86 - add support for systemd socket-based activation - debian bug #917105,
87 freebsd bug #234276.
88 - do not destruct perl on exit anymore: this might fail for a variety of
89 reasons, and takes unnecessary time.
90 - remove any macros from urxvtperl manpage(s), should fix debian
91 bug 858385.
92 - the old bg image resources are now provided by the background
93 extension, and perl is thus required for bg image support. No
94 configuration change is needed: urxvt autoloads the background
95 ext if any bg image resource/option is present (for OSC sequences to
96 work you need to enable it explicitly). The old bg image
97 resources are also now deprecated; users are encouraged to
98 switch to the new bg image interface (see man urxvt-background).
99 - confirm-paste now checks for any ctlchars, not just newlines.
100 - searchable scrollback will now ignore bracketed paste mode sequences
101 (prompted by Daniel Gröber's patch).
102 - drop ISO 2022 locale support. ISO 2022 encodings are not supported in
103 POSIX locales and clash with vt100 charset emulation (the luit
104 program can be used as a substitute).
105 - perl didn't parse rgba colours specified as an array correctly,
106 only allowing 0 and 100% intensity for each component (this affected
107 fill and tint).
108 - when iterating over resources, urxvt will now try to properly handle
109 multipart resources (such as "*background.expr"), for the benefit
110 of autoloading perl extensions.
111 - ESC G (query rxvt graphics mode) has been disabled due to security
112 implications. The rxvt graphics mode was removed in rxvt-unicode 1.5,
113 and no programs relying on being able to query the mode are known.
114 - work around API change breakage in perl 5.28, based on a patch by
115 Roman Bogorodskiy.
116 - improved security: rob nation's (obsolete) graphics mode queries
117 no longer reply with linefeed in secure/default mode.
118 - ISO 8613-3 direct colour SGR sequences (patch by Fengguang Wu).
119 - xterm focus reporting mode (patch by Daniel Hahler).
120 - xterm SGR mouse mode.
121 - implement DECRQM. Patch by Přemysl Eric Janouch.
122 - add missing color index parameter to OSC 4 response. Patch
123 by Přemysl Eric Janouch.
124 - in some window managers, if smart resize was enabled, urxvt
125 erroneously moved the window on font change - awesome bug
126 #532, arch linux bug ##34807 (patch by Uli Schlachter).
127 - fix urxvtd crash when using a background expression.
128 - properly restore colors when using fading and reverse video
129 is enabled while urxvt is focused and then disabled while it
130 is not focused, or vice versa (patch by Daniel Hahler).
131 - fix high memory usage when an extension repeatedly hides and
132 shows an overlay (reported by Marcel Lautenbach).
133 - expose priv_modes member and constants to perl extensions
134 (patch by Rastislav Barlik).
135 - fix a whole slew of const sillyness, unfortunately forced upon
136 us by ISO C++.
137 - update to libecb 0x00010006.
138 - disable all thread support in ecb.h as we presumably don't need it.
139 - slightly improve Makefile source dependencies.
140 - work around bugs in newer Pod::Xhtml versions (flags incorrect formatting codes
141 in xhtml/html sections but does not interpret correct ones).
142
1439.22 Sat Jan 23 21:07:33 CET 2016
144 - NOTICE: this release updates terminfo.
145 - add terminfo capabilities for various ctrl and shift-ctrl key variants
146 (patch by Sebastian Schmidt).
147 - fix longstanding core font encoding bug where some character
148 ranges could not be mapped from unicode to the font: affected
149 encodings are big5, gb2312, iso8859-8 (hebrew), jis0201 and
150 ksc5601 (reported by Mikachu).
151 - fix crash when the number of columns is 1 and a 0 width character is inserted
152 (reported by Kuang-che Wu).
153 - fix a crash when parsing an invalid color specification (reported by Kuang-che Wu).
154 - fix a buffer overflow in font name parser (reported by Kuang-che Wu).
155 - do not start blinking cursor if the window is unfocused (reported by
156 Devin J. Pohly).
157 - change the width of underline and i-beam cursor to 2 pixels (based on
158 a patch by Omar Sandoval).
159 - add pointerShape resource to change the mouse pointer shape
160 (based on a patch by Brian Watson).
161 - a keysym resource for a key which is already bound to an
162 action now properly rebinds the key.
163 - do not report mouse motion events if Shift is active (patch by Daniel Hahler).
164 - put the alpha component last in responses to OSC color queries
165 (patch by Benjamin Herr).
166 - the key_press hook is now invoked before processing the
167 event, as documented. This change was done in 9.21 but not
168 announced and fixes debian bugs #511377, #531751 and red hat
169 bug #1105069. Note that this change breaks a few scripts,
170 such as mark-yank-urls, which rely on the previous buggy
171 behaviour that urxvt processes the event (in particular
172 keysym bindings) before invoking the hook.
173 - the tabbed extension now properly refreshes the active tab
174 on a key press when the mouse pointer is outside the terminal
175 window.
176 - add 'lookup_keysym' perl method to lookup the action bound
177 to a key combination.
178 - a key combination bound to 'matcher:select' can now be used
179 to cycle through the matches in matcher.
180 - change perl integer accessors (->width et al.) into mutators.
181
1829.21 Wed Dec 31 14:50:03 CET 2014
183 - the "moa redraw 8-bit british vintage colour management" release.
184 - NOTICE: this release updates terminfo.
185 - fix pixel droppings on overdraw when a secondary core font has the
186 same height but different ascent.
187 - implement cvvis in terminfo as blinking cursor, to distinguish it
188 from cnorm (emacs uses cvvis which is commonly a blinking cursor).
189 - when xft support was compiled in, colour queries erroneously returned
190 premultiplied values, this also affected internal queries, for example
191 when calculating faded colour. alpha is now divided out when possible,
192 which is more correct but loses colour resolution.
193 - add DECSCUSR xterm extension to set the cursor to a vertical bar.
194 - add 'extension:string' action, and associated on_action perl
195 hook, for keysym resources that invokes actions provided by
196 perl extensions. The 'perl:string' action and
197 on_user_command hook are deprecated but still supported.
198 - add 'builtin-string' action for keysym resources that restores string
199 mappings for keys that have predefined actions in urxvt.
200 - add -k option to urxvtc for killing the daemon process.
201 - document urxvtd's -e/--eval option that was implemented in 9.16,
202 but not documented.
203 - add -dockapp option to make the wm treat urxvt as a dockapp.
204 - add -mc option and multiClickTime resource to set the maximum time
205 between multi-click select events (patch by Joe Peterson).
206 - new 'eval' extension to evaluate arbitrary perl code with keysym
207 bindings. The extension also provides methods that implement basic
208 actions, such as pasting selections and scrolling.
209 - the macosx-clipboard and macosx-clipboard-native extensions have been removed.
210 - kuake extension now uses the kuake.hotkey resource to specify the hotkey.
211 - new 'matcher:select' mode of matcher to iterate over the matches with the keyboard.
212 - the 'matcher:list' feature of matcher now honours the launcher
213 associated to a matched pattern.
214 - speed-up matcher underlining on very long lines (reported by Edward Z. Yang).
215 - fix up/down commands of searchable-scrollback so that they always move
216 to the previous/next logical line with a match, if any.
217 - searchable-scrollback resource has been deprecated (use keysym instead).
218 - extension parameter passing is deprecated (use resource mechanism instead).
219 - upgrade to GPLv3 (see COPYING).
220 - compile out of the box on Solaris 10, again.
221 - fix height and position of the stippled area in next scrollbar (patch
222 by Thomas Otto).
223 - fix off-by-one bug causing the iso14755 window not to jump out of the
224 way properly.
225 - fix crash that may happen if a lib to which urxvt is linked to calls setenv.
226 - fix memory leak in special_{encode,decode} perl methods.
227 - fix refresh bug that occurs when reverse video is set on a cell
228 containing a space and with the same bg and fg colour, red hat bug
229 #830236.
230 - fix crash that may happen if an x error is received after a terminal
231 window/popup has been destroyed already.
232 - removed superfluous 0 digit from sgr terminfo sequence.
233 - greatly improve colour allocation on colour-starved pseudocolour
234 displays to avoid read-write cells instead of simply failing
235 (this is only relevant for antique 8bpp frame buffers).
236 - do not free fade colours when not doing fading (this is likely
237 only relevant for antique 8bpp frame buffers).
238 - do not specialcase 2 or 4 colour visuals, leading to
239 simpler and actually more correct code.
240 - hopefully no longer leak colours on !truecolour visuals.
241 - use consistent method names (scr_recolour => scr_recolor).
242 - use simpler (but slightly less bogus) formula for nearest
243 colour choice (this is likely only relevant for antique 8bpp
244 frame buffers).
245 - remove fallback behaviour when initialising colours - the
246 behaviour was inconsistent between startup vs. later and
247 was only effective when valid colours couldn't be allocated.
248
2499.20 Sat Apr 26 16:22:27 CEST 2014
250 - (libptytty) fix bug that prevented urxvtd from writing utmp
251 entries when using --fork (reported by Ryan Kavanagh).
252 - security bugfix: window property values could be queried even
253 in secure mode (reported by Conor McCarthy).
254 - fix build when perl is enabled and fading is disabled.
255 - fix regression that broke continuous scrolling when pressing
256 and holding the scrollbar up or down button, gentoo bug #493992.
257 - increase the maximum length of a command sequence to 32k bytes,
258 to allow longer OSC sequences (previous limit was 2k).
259 - new Ctrl-Meta-c and Ctrl-Meta-v bindings to interact with
260 the CLIPBOARD selection.
261 - new extension: selection-to-clipboard.
262 - the extensions macosx-clipboard and macosx-clipboard-native
263 are deprecated and will be removed in the next release.
264 Support for the clipboard on OS X can be more generally
265 enabled by setting the XQuartz preference to sync the OS X
266 pasteboard and the X11 clipboard.
267
2689.19 Sun Oct 27 17:16:07 CET 2013
269 - work around perl 5.18.0 breakage in tabbed extension
270 (reported by Karol Blazewicz) and in pod (Dominic Hargreaves).
271 - fix regression that caused the double-click word selection to
272 erroneously include a tab on the left of the selected word.
273 - implement FOCUS variable and focus_fade function in background
274 expression, to allow focus-sensitive background images.
275 - add support for the set cursor style (DECSCUSR) control
276 function.
277 - honour cursorColor also when the cursor style is underline.
278 - export some Color_xxx constants to Perl.
279
2809.18 Sun Mar 24 15:33:35 CET 2013
281 - fix regression that caused artifacts on resize.
282
2839.17 Fri Mar 1 13:46:08 CET 2013
284 - add shade operator in background perl extension.
285 - avoid starting or ending the selection in the middle of wide
286 characters to avoid artifacts (reported by Tiago Resende).
287 - fix artifacts that may occur if the character in the cursor
288 cell has width > 1 (reported by Tiago Resende).
289 - fix regression that causes artifacts on scrolling if
290 saveLines is 0 and the window is resized (reported by Bert
291 Münnich).
292 - fix build when perl is enabled and pixbuf and transparency
293 are disabled.
294
2959.16 Thu Dec 27 11:56:43 CET 2012
35 - the "so much new stuff your eyes will pop out" release. 296 - the "so much new stuff your eyes will pop out" release.
36 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: renamed urlLauncher resource to url-launcher. 297 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: renamed urlLauncher resource to url-launcher.
37 - fix processing of DEC private mode save sequences (patch by Patrick 298 - fix processing of DEC private mode save sequences (patch by Patrick
38 Hemmer). 299 Hemmer).
39 - perl extensions now have their own manpages, installed as urxvt-NAME(1), 300 - perl extensions now have their own manpages, installed as urxvt-NAME(1),
