51 - enable confirm-paste extension by default, can be disabled by e.g.
52 URxvt.perl-ext: -confirm-paste
53 - if urxvt cannot detect a good estimate for font width (because a font does
54 not contain latin characters at all for example), it will now fall
55 back to xft's max_advance_width, which works well with some fonts. It
56 currently will warn about this.
57 - do not render variation selectors in the default font as boxes, treat
58 them as zero-width characters.
59 - change combining character architecture to allow fonts to handle
60 combining sequences on their own. This could allow future renderers
61 to be more intelligent about these sequences.
62 - use the previous enhancement to allow unicode characters outside of the
63 BMP to be rendered even without --enable-unicode3, as long as an
64 xft with the character is configured.
65 It's recommended to stay with disabled unicode3 even more now.
66 - freetype/xft have been verified to return nonsensical offsets for
67 combining characters. urxvt tries to compensate to some extent,
68 but diacritics will be slightly off in many cases, and far off in
69 some cases (e.g. input mono).
70 - allow perl-ext and perl-ext-common to override autoloaded extensions.
71 this allows tabbed to disable itself in subtabs, avoiding recursive
72 loading.
73 - update precompose table to unicode 13.0.
74 - update charset conversion tables to perl 5.32 (this only affected
75 cs_koi8_u_from_unicode).
76 - unicode characters > 0x100000 were not handled correctly w.r.t.
77 font rendering.
78
799.26 Fri May 14 19:14:14 CEST 2021
80 - ev_iouring.c was wrongly required during compilation, and wrongly
81 not packaged.
82
839.25 Fri May 14 15:51:36 CEST 2021
84 - for the 17.5th anniversary, and because many distributions seem to
85 remove rxvt in favour of urxvt, this release resurrects rclock as
86 urclock.
87 - add support for systemd socket-based activation - debian bug #917105,
88 freebsd bug #234276.
89 - do not destruct perl on exit anymore: this might fail for a variety of
90 reasons, and takes unnecessary time.
91 - remove any macros from urxvtperl manpage(s), should fix debian
92 bug 858385.
93 - the old bg image resources are now provided by the background
94 extension, and perl is thus required for bg image support. No
95 configuration change is needed: urxvt autoloads the background
96 ext if any bg image resource/option is present (for OSC sequences to
97 work you need to enable it explicitly). The old bg image
98 resources are also now deprecated; users are encouraged to
99 switch to the new bg image interface (see man urxvt-background).
100 - confirm-paste now checks for any ctlchars, not just newlines.
101 - searchable scrollback will now ignore bracketed paste mode sequences
102 (prompted by Daniel Gröber's patch).
103 - drop ISO 2022 locale support. ISO 2022 encodings are not supported in
104 POSIX locales and clash with vt100 charset emulation (the luit
105 program can be used as a substitute).
106 - perl didn't parse rgba colours specified as an array correctly,
107 only allowing 0 and 100% intensity for each component (this affected
108 fill and tint).
109 - when iterating over resources, urxvt will now try to properly handle
110 multipart resources (such as "*background.expr"), for the benefit
111 of autoloading perl extensions.
112 - ESC G (query rxvt graphics mode) has been disabled due to security
113 implications. The rxvt graphics mode was removed in rxvt-unicode 1.5,
114 and no programs relying on being able to query the mode are known.
115 - work around API change breakage in perl 5.28, based on a patch by
116 Roman Bogorodskiy.
117 - improved security: rob nation's (obsolete) graphics mode queries
118 no longer reply with linefeed in secure/default mode.
119 - ISO 8613-3 direct colour SGR sequences (patch by Fengguang Wu).
120 - xterm focus reporting mode (patch by Daniel Hahler).
121 - xterm SGR mouse mode.
122 - implement DECRQM. Patch by Přemysl Eric Janouch.
123 - add missing color index parameter to OSC 4 response. Patch
124 by Přemysl Eric Janouch.
125 - in some window managers, if smart resize was enabled, urxvt
126 erroneously moved the window on font change - awesome bug
127 #532, arch linux bug ##34807 (patch by Uli Schlachter).
128 - fix urxvtd crash when using a background expression.
129 - properly restore colors when using fading and reverse video
130 is enabled while urxvt is focused and then disabled while it
131 is not focused, or vice versa (patch by Daniel Hahler).
132 - fix high memory usage when an extension repeatedly hides and
133 shows an overlay (reported by Marcel Lautenbach).
134 - expose priv_modes member and constants to perl extensions
135 (patch by Rastislav Barlik).
136 - fix a whole slew of const sillyness, unfortunately forced upon
137 us by ISO C++.
138 - update to libecb 0x00010006.
139 - disable all thread support in ecb.h as we presumably don't need it.
140 - slightly improve Makefile source dependencies.
141 - work around bugs in newer Pod::Xhtml versions (flags incorrect formatting codes
142 in xhtml/html sections but does not interpret correct ones).
143
1449.22 Sat Jan 23 21:07:33 CET 2016
145 - NOTICE: this release updates terminfo.
146 - add terminfo capabilities for various ctrl and shift-ctrl key variants
147 (patch by Sebastian Schmidt).
148 - fix longstanding core font encoding bug where some character
149 ranges could not be mapped from unicode to the font: affected
150 encodings are big5, gb2312, iso8859-8 (hebrew), jis0201 and
151 ksc5601 (reported by Mikachu).
152 - fix crash when the number of columns is 1 and a 0 width character is inserted
153 (reported by Kuang-che Wu).
154 - fix a crash when parsing an invalid color specification (reported by Kuang-che Wu).
155 - fix a buffer overflow in font name parser (reported by Kuang-che Wu).
156 - do not start blinking cursor if the window is unfocused (reported by
157 Devin J. Pohly).
158 - change the width of underline and i-beam cursor to 2 pixels (based on
159 a patch by Omar Sandoval).
160 - add pointerShape resource to change the mouse pointer shape
161 (based on a patch by Brian Watson).
162 - a keysym resource for a key which is already bound to an
163 action now properly rebinds the key.
164 - do not report mouse motion events if Shift is active (patch by Daniel Hahler).
165 - put the alpha component last in responses to OSC color queries
166 (patch by Benjamin Herr).
167 - the key_press hook is now invoked before processing the
168 event, as documented. This change was done in 9.21 but not
169 announced and fixes debian bugs #511377, #531751 and red hat
170 bug #1105069. Note that this change breaks a few scripts,
171 such as mark-yank-urls, which rely on the previous buggy
172 behaviour that urxvt processes the event (in particular
173 keysym bindings) before invoking the hook.
174 - the tabbed extension now properly refreshes the active tab
175 on a key press when the mouse pointer is outside the terminal
176 window.
177 - add 'lookup_keysym' perl method to lookup the action bound
178 to a key combination.
179 - a key combination bound to 'matcher:select' can now be used
180 to cycle through the matches in matcher.
181 - change perl integer accessors (->width et al.) into mutators.
182
1839.21 Wed Dec 31 14:50:03 CET 2014
184 - the "moa redraw 8-bit british vintage colour management" release.
185 - NOTICE: this release updates terminfo.
186 - fix pixel droppings on overdraw when a secondary core font has the
187 same height but different ascent.
188 - implement cvvis in terminfo as blinking cursor, to distinguish it
189 from cnorm (emacs uses cvvis which is commonly a blinking cursor).
190 - when xft support was compiled in, colour queries erroneously returned
191 premultiplied values, this also affected internal queries, for example
192 when calculating faded colour. alpha is now divided out when possible,
193 which is more correct but loses colour resolution.
194 - add DECSCUSR xterm extension to set the cursor to a vertical bar.
195 - add 'extension:string' action, and associated on_action perl
196 hook, for keysym resources that invokes actions provided by
197 perl extensions. The 'perl:string' action and
198 on_user_command hook are deprecated but still supported.
199 - add 'builtin-string' action for keysym resources that restores string
200 mappings for keys that have predefined actions in urxvt.
201 - add -k option to urxvtc for killing the daemon process.
202 - document urxvtd's -e/--eval option that was implemented in 9.16,
203 but not documented.
204 - add -dockapp option to make the wm treat urxvt as a dockapp.
205 - add -mc option and multiClickTime resource to set the maximum time
206 between multi-click select events (patch by Joe Peterson).
40 - New 'eval' extension to evaluate arbitrary perl code with keysym 207 - new 'eval' extension to evaluate arbitrary perl code with keysym
41 bindings. The extension also provides methods that implement basic 208 bindings. The extension also provides methods that implement basic
42 actions, such as pasting selections and scrolling. 209 actions, such as pasting selections and scrolling.
43 - the macosx-clipboard and macosx-clipboard-native extensions have been removed. 210 - the macosx-clipboard and macosx-clipboard-native extensions have been removed.
44 - the keysym-list extension has been removed, you can use the following
45 perl one-liner to expand your existing .Xdefaults file to do without it:
46 - kuake extension now uses the kuake.hotkey resource to specify the hotkey. 211 - kuake extension now uses the kuake.hotkey resource to specify the hotkey.
212 - new 'matcher:select' mode of matcher to iterate over the matches with the keyboard.
47 - the 'matcher:list' feature of matcher now honours the launcher 213 - the 'matcher:list' feature of matcher now honours the launcher
48 associated to a matched pattern. 214 associated to a matched pattern.
215 - speed-up matcher underlining on very long lines (reported by Edward Z. Yang).
216 - fix up/down commands of searchable-scrollback so that they always move
217 to the previous/next logical line with a match, if any.
49 - searchable-scrollback resource has been deprecated (use keysym instead). 218 - searchable-scrollback resource has been deprecated (use keysym instead).
50 - extension parameter passing is deprecated (use resource mechanism instead). 219 - extension parameter passing is deprecated (use resource mechanism instead).
51 - upgrade to GPLv3 (see COPYING). 220 - upgrade to GPLv3 (see COPYING).
221 - compile out of the box on Solaris 10, again.
222 - fix height and position of the stippled area in next scrollbar (patch
223 by Thomas Otto).
224 - fix off-by-one bug causing the iso14755 window not to jump out of the
225 way properly.
226 - fix crash that may happen if a lib to which urxvt is linked to calls setenv.
227 - fix memory leak in special_{encode,decode} perl methods.
228 - fix refresh bug that occurs when reverse video is set on a cell
229 containing a space and with the same bg and fg colour, red hat bug
230 #830236.
231 - fix crash that may happen if an x error is received after a terminal
232 window/popup has been destroyed already.
233 - removed superfluous 0 digit from sgr terminfo sequence.
234 - greatly improve colour allocation on colour-starved pseudocolour
235 displays to avoid read-write cells instead of simply failing
236 (this is only relevant for antique 8bpp frame buffers).
237 - do not free fade colours when not doing fading (this is likely
238 only relevant for antique 8bpp frame buffers).
239 - do not specialcase 2 or 4 colour visuals, leading to
240 simpler and actually more correct code.
241 - hopefully no longer leak colours on !truecolour visuals.
242 - use consistent method names (scr_recolour => scr_recolor).
243 - use simpler (but slightly less bogus) formula for nearest
244 colour choice (this is likely only relevant for antique 8bpp
245 frame buffers).
246 - remove fallback behaviour when initialising colours - the
247 behaviour was inconsistent between startup vs. later and
248 was only effective when valid colours couldn't be allocated.
