51TODO: clean up the resource vs. long option mess, especially in the manpage.
52 - allow URxvt*keysym to match again. The fact that it was ignored
53 is considered a regression due in the way we checked for keysym
54 resources.
55 - new option/resource -rm/rewrapMode, which sets the line rewrap
56 mode to auto, never or always.
57 - new option/resource -dpb/disablePasteBrackets, which can be used to
58 disable bracketed paste mode sequences, as more and more programs
59 abuse these sequences (typically in the name of security, but these
60 sequences are not improving security).
61 - enable confirm-paste extension by default, can be disabled by e.g.
62 URxvt.perl-ext: -confirm-paste
63 - if urxvt cannot detect a good estimate for font width (because a font does
64 not contain latin characters at all for example), it will now fall
65 back to xft's max_advance_width, which works well with some fonts. It
66 currently will warn about this.
67 - do not render variation selectors in the default font as boxes, treat
68 them as zero-width characters.
69 - change combining character architecture to allow fonts to handle
70 combining sequences on their own. This could allow future renderers
71 to be more intelligent about these sequences.
72 - use the previous enhancement to allow unicode characters outside of the
73 BMP to be rendered even without --enable-unicode3, as long as an
74 xft with the character is configured.
75 It's recommended to stay with disabled unicode3 even more now.
76 - freetype/xft have been verified to return nonsensical offsets for
77 combining characters. urxvt tries to compensate to some extent,
78 but diacritics will be slightly off in many cases, and far off in
79 some cases (e.g. input mono).
80 - when checking for overlap/careful handling, take non-basefont
81 character shifts into account.
82 - allow perl-ext and perl-ext-common to override autoloaded extensions.
83 this allows tabbed to disable itself in subtabs, avoiding recursive
84 loading.
85 - update precompose table to unicode 13.0.
86 - update charset conversion tables to perl 5.32 (this only affected
87 cs_koi8_u_from_unicode).
88 - unicode characters > 0x100000 were not handled correctly w.r.t.
89 font rendering.
90 - replace bitstream vera by dejavu sans, as it has replaced the former
91 almost everywhere.
92
939.26 Fri May 14 19:14:14 CEST 2021
94 - ev_iouring.c was wrongly required during compilation, and wrongly
95 not packaged.
96
979.25 Fri May 14 15:51:36 CEST 2021
98 - for the 17.5th anniversary, and because many distributions seem to
99 remove rxvt in favour of urxvt, this release resurrects rclock as
100 urclock.
101 - add support for systemd socket-based activation - debian bug #917105,
102 freebsd bug #234276.
103 - do not destruct perl on exit anymore: this might fail for a variety of
104 reasons, and takes unnecessary time.
105 - remove any macros from urxvtperl manpage(s), should fix debian
106 bug 858385.
107 - the old bg image resources are now provided by the background
108 extension, and perl is thus required for bg image support. No
109 configuration change is needed: urxvt autoloads the background
110 ext if any bg image resource/option is present (for OSC sequences to
111 work you need to enable it explicitly). The old bg image
112 resources are also now deprecated; users are encouraged to
113 switch to the new bg image interface (see man urxvt-background).
114 - confirm-paste now checks for any ctlchars, not just newlines.
115 - searchable scrollback will now ignore bracketed paste mode sequences
116 (prompted by Daniel Gröber's patch).
117 - drop ISO 2022 locale support. ISO 2022 encodings are not supported in
118 POSIX locales and clash with vt100 charset emulation (the luit
119 program can be used as a substitute).
120 - perl didn't parse rgba colours specified as an array correctly,
121 only allowing 0 and 100% intensity for each component (this affected
122 fill and tint).
123 - when iterating over resources, urxvt will now try to properly handle
124 multipart resources (such as "*background.expr"), for the benefit
125 of autoloading perl extensions.
126 - ESC G (query rxvt graphics mode) has been disabled due to security
127 implications. The rxvt graphics mode was removed in rxvt-unicode 1.5,
128 and no programs relying on being able to query the mode are known.
129 - work around API change breakage in perl 5.28, based on a patch by
130 Roman Bogorodskiy.
131 - improved security: rob nation's (obsolete) graphics mode queries
132 no longer reply with linefeed in secure/default mode.
133 - ISO 8613-3 direct colour SGR sequences (patch by Fengguang Wu).
134 - xterm focus reporting mode (patch by Daniel Hahler).
135 - xterm SGR mouse mode.
136 - implement DECRQM. Patch by Přemysl Eric Janouch.
137 - add missing color index parameter to OSC 4 response. Patch
138 by Přemysl Eric Janouch.
139 - in some window managers, if smart resize was enabled, urxvt
140 erroneously moved the window on font change - awesome bug
141 #532, arch linux bug ##34807 (patch by Uli Schlachter).
142 - fix urxvtd crash when using a background expression.
143 - properly restore colors when using fading and reverse video
144 is enabled while urxvt is focused and then disabled while it
145 is not focused, or vice versa (patch by Daniel Hahler).
146 - fix high memory usage when an extension repeatedly hides and
147 shows an overlay (reported by Marcel Lautenbach).
148 - expose priv_modes member and constants to perl extensions
149 (patch by Rastislav Barlik).
150 - fix a whole slew of const sillyness, unfortunately forced upon
151 us by ISO C++.
152 - update to libecb 0x00010006.
153 - disable all thread support in ecb.h as we presumably don't need it.
154 - slightly improve Makefile source dependencies.
155 - work around bugs in newer Pod::Xhtml versions (flags incorrect formatting codes
156 in xhtml/html sections but does not interpret correct ones).
157
1589.22 Sat Jan 23 21:07:33 CET 2016
159 - NOTICE: this release updates terminfo.
160 - add terminfo capabilities for various ctrl and shift-ctrl key variants
161 (patch by Sebastian Schmidt).
42 - fix longstanding core font encoding bug where some character 162 - fix longstanding core font encoding bug where some character
43 ranges could not be mapped from unicode to the font: affected 163 ranges could not be mapped from unicode to the font: affected
44 encodings are big5, gb2312, iso8859-8 (hebrew), jis0201 and 164 encodings are big5, gb2312, iso8859-8 (hebrew), jis0201 and
45 ksc5601 (reported by Mikachu). 165 ksc5601 (reported by Mikachu).
46 - fix crash when the number of columns is 1 and a 0 width character is inserted 166 - fix crash when the number of columns is 1 and a 0 width character is inserted
