48TODO: fontset caching per display?
49TODO: xOff caching. for ascii only? fr basefont only?
50TODO: image loading osc does not autoload background ext
51TODO: clean up the resource vs. long option mess, especially in the manpage.
52 - Key bindings specified with the -keysym option or with resources of
53 the form URxvt*keysym work again. Such resources, as opposed to
54 resources of the form URxvt.keysym, were not officially allowed but
55 accepted, so ignoring them is considered a regression.
56 - new option/resource -rm/rewrapMode, which sets the line rewrap
57 mode to auto, never or always.
58 - new option/resource -dpb/disablePasteBrackets, which can be used to
59 disable bracketed paste mode sequences, as more and more programs
60 abuse these sequences (typically in the name of security, but these
61 sequences are not improving security). Also, bracketed paste mode
62 is now under frills.
63 - enable confirm-paste extension by default, can be disabled by e.g.
64 URxvt.perl-ext: -confirm-paste
65 - eval scroll actions now scroll to the bottom when scrolling down and
66 there are less lines to scroll than the ones requested (patch by
67 Stephen Talley).
68 - if urxvt cannot detect a good estimate for font width (because a font does
69 not contain latin characters at all for example), it will now fall
70 back to xft's max_advance_width, which works well with some fonts. It
71 currently will warn about this.
72 - do not render variation selectors in the default font as boxes, treat
73 them as zero-width characters.
74 - change combining character architecture to allow fonts to handle
75 combining sequences on their own. This could allow future renderers
76 to be more intelligent about these sequences.
77 - use the previous enhancement to allow unicode characters outside of the
78 BMP to be rendered even without --enable-unicode3, as long as an
79 xft with the character is configured.
80 It's recommended to stay with disabled unicode3 even more now.
81 - freetype/xft have been verified to return nonsensical offsets for
82 combining characters. urxvt tries to compensate to some extent,
83 but diacritics will be slightly off in many cases, and far off in
84 some cases (e.g. input mono).
85 - when checking for overlap/careful handling, take non-basefont
86 character shifts into account.
87 - allow perl-ext and perl-ext-common to override autoloaded extensions.
88 this allows tabbed to disable itself in subtabs, avoiding recursive
89 loading.
90 - update precompose table to unicode 13.0.
91 - update charset conversion tables to perl 5.32 (this only affected
92 cs_koi8_u_from_unicode).
93 - unicode characters > 0x100000 were not handled correctly w.r.t.
94 font rendering.
95 - replace bitstream vera by dejavu sans, as it has replaced the former
96 almost everywhere.

99 - ev_iouring.c was wrongly required during compilation, and wrongly
100 not packaged.

1029.25 Fri May 14 15:51:36 CEST 2021
103 - for the 17.5th anniversary, and because many distributions seem to
104 remove rxvt in favour of urxvt, this release resurrects rclock as
105 urclock.
106 - add support for systemd socket-based activation - debian bug #917105,
107 freebsd bug #234276.
108 - do not destruct perl on exit anymore: this might fail for a variety of
109 reasons, and takes unnecessary time.
110 - remove any macros from urxvtperl manpage(s), should fix debian
111 bug 858385.
112 - the old bg image resources are now provided by the background
113 extension, and perl is thus required for bg image support. No
114 configuration change is needed: urxvt autoloads the background
115 ext if any bg image resource/option is present (for OSC sequences to
116 work you need to enable it explicitly). The old bg image
117 resources are also now deprecated; users are encouraged to
118 switch to the new bg image interface (see man urxvt-background).
119 - confirm-paste now checks for any ctlchars, not just newlines.
120 - searchable scrollback will now ignore bracketed paste mode sequences
121 (prompted by Daniel Gröber's patch).
122 - drop ISO 2022 locale support. ISO 2022 encodings are not supported in
123 POSIX locales and clash with vt100 charset emulation (the luit
124 program can be used as a substitute).
125 - perl didn't parse rgba colours specified as an array correctly,
126 only allowing 0 and 100% intensity for each component (this affected
127 fill and tint).
128 - when iterating over resources, urxvt will now try to properly handle
129 multipart resources (such as "*background.expr"), for the benefit
130 of autoloading perl extensions.
131 - ESC G (query rxvt graphics mode) has been disabled due to security
132 implications. The rxvt graphics mode was removed in rxvt-unicode 1.5,
133 and no programs relying on being able to query the mode are known.
134 - work around API change breakage in perl 5.28, based on a patch by
135 Roman Bogorodskiy.
45 - improved security: rob nation's (obsolete) graphics mode queries 136 - improved security: rob nation's (obsolete) graphics mode queries
46 no longer reply with linefeed in secure/default mode. 137 no longer reply with linefeed in secure/default mode.
47 - ISO 8613-3 direct colour SGR sequences (patch by Fengguang Wu). 138 - ISO 8613-3 direct colour SGR sequences (patch by Fengguang Wu).
48 - xterm focus reporting mode (patch by Daniel Hahler). 139 - xterm focus reporting mode (patch by Daniel Hahler).
140 - xterm SGR mouse mode.
141 - implement DECRQM. Patch by Přemysl Eric Janouch.
142 - add missing color index parameter to OSC 4 response. Patch
143 by Přemysl Eric Janouch.
49 - in some window managers, if smart resize was enabled, urxvt 144 - in some window managers, if smart resize was enabled, urxvt
50 erroneously moved the window on font change - awesome bug 145 erroneously moved the window on font change - awesome bug
51 #532, arch linux bug ##34807 (patch by Uli Schlachter). 146 #532, arch linux bug ##34807 (patch by Uli Schlachter).
147 - fix urxvtd crash when using a background expression.
148 - properly restore colors when using fading and reverse video
149 is enabled while urxvt is focused and then disabled while it
150 is not focused, or vice versa (patch by Daniel Hahler).
52 - fix high memory usage when an extension repeatedly hides and 151 - fix high memory usage when an extension repeatedly hides and
53 shows an overlay (reported by Marcel Lautenbach). 152 shows an overlay (reported by Marcel Lautenbach).

58 resources are also now deprecated; users are encouraged to

60 - expose priv_modes member and constants to perl extensions 153 - expose priv_modes member and constants to perl extensions
61 (patch by Rastislav Barlik). 154 (patch by Rastislav Barlik).
155 - fix a whole slew of const sillyness, unfortunately forced upon
156 us by ISO C++.
157 - update to libecb 0x00010006.
158 - disable all thread support in ecb.h as we presumably don't need it.
159 - slightly improve Makefile source dependencies.
160 - work around bugs in newer Pod::Xhtml versions (flags incorrect formatting codes
161 in xhtml/html sections but does not interpret correct ones).
