49 - Key bindings specified with the -keysym option or with resources of
50 the form URxvt*keysym work again. Such resources, as opposed to
51 resources of the form URxvt.keysym, were not officially allowed but
52 accepted, so ignoring them is considered a regression.
53 - new option/resource -rm/rewrapMode, which sets the line rewrap
54 mode to auto, never or always.
55 - new option/resource -dpb/disablePasteBrackets, which can be used to
56 disable bracketed paste mode sequences, as more and more programs
57 abuse these sequences (typically in the name of security, but these
58 sequences are not improving security). Also, bracketed paste mode
59 is now under frills.
60 - enable confirm-paste extension by default, can be disabled by e.g.
61 URxvt.perl-ext: -confirm-paste
62 - The view_start perl method now scrolls to the bottom also when the
63 argument is greater than 0.
64 - eval scroll actions now scroll to the bottom when scrolling down and
65 there are less lines to scroll than the ones requested (reported by
66 Stephen Talley).
67 - if urxvt cannot detect a good estimate for font width (because a font does
68 not contain latin characters at all for example), it will now fall
69 back to xft's max_advance_width, which works well with some fonts. It
70 currently will warn about this.
71 - do not render variation selectors in the default font as boxes, treat
72 them as zero-width characters.
73 - change combining character architecture to allow fonts to handle
74 combining sequences on their own. This could allow future renderers
75 to be more intelligent about these sequences.
76 - use the previous enhancement to allow unicode characters outside of the
77 BMP to be rendered even without --enable-unicode3, as long as an
78 xft with the character is configured.
79 It's recommended to stay with disabled unicode3 even more now.
80 - freetype/xft have been verified to return nonsensical offsets for
81 combining characters. urxvt tries to compensate to some extent,
82 but diacritics will be slightly off in many cases, and far off in
83 some cases (e.g. input mono).
84 - when checking for overlap/careful handling, take non-basefont
85 character shifts into account.
86 - allow perl-ext and perl-ext-common to override autoloaded extensions.
87 this allows tabbed to disable itself in subtabs, avoiding recursive
88 loading.
89 - update precompose table to unicode 13.0.
90 - update charset conversion tables to perl 5.32 (this only affected
91 cs_koi8_u_from_unicode).
92 - unicode characters > 0x100000 were not handled correctly w.r.t.
93 font rendering.
94 - replace bitstream vera by dejavu sans, as it has replaced the former
95 almost everywhere.
96 - shave off over 1K of code size from urclock by replacing the sine table
97 with a slightly less accurate fixed point approximation.
98 - do not specify< indentation with =over in pod, this is no longer
99 needed with semi-modern pod tools and gives the formatter more
100 stylistic freedom.
101
1029.26 Fri May 14 19:14:14 CEST 2021
103 - ev_iouring.c was wrongly required during compilation, and wrongly
104 not packaged.
105
1069.25 Fri May 14 15:51:36 CEST 2021
107 - for the 17.5th anniversary, and because many distributions seem to
108 remove rxvt in favour of urxvt, this release resurrects rclock as
109 urclock.
110 - add support for systemd socket-based activation - debian bug #917105,
111 freebsd bug #234276.
112 - do not destruct perl on exit anymore: this might fail for a variety of
113 reasons, and takes unnecessary time.
114 - remove any macros from urxvtperl manpage(s), should fix debian
115 bug 858385.
116 - the old bg image resources are now provided by the background
117 extension, and perl is thus required for bg image support. No
118 configuration change is needed: urxvt autoloads the background
119 ext if any bg image resource/option is present (for OSC sequences to
120 work you need to enable it explicitly). The old bg image
121 resources are also now deprecated; users are encouraged to
122 switch to the new bg image interface (see man urxvt-background).
123 - confirm-paste now checks for any ctlchars, not just newlines.
124 - searchable scrollback will now ignore bracketed paste mode sequences
125 (prompted by Daniel Gröber's patch).
126 - drop ISO 2022 locale support. ISO 2022 encodings are not supported in
127 POSIX locales and clash with vt100 charset emulation (the luit
128 program can be used as a substitute).
129 - perl didn't parse rgba colours specified as an array correctly,
130 only allowing 0 and 100% intensity for each component (this affected
131 fill and tint).
132 - when iterating over resources, urxvt will now try to properly handle
133 multipart resources (such as "*background.expr"), for the benefit
134 of autoloading perl extensions.
135 - ESC G (query rxvt graphics mode) has been disabled due to security
136 implications. The rxvt graphics mode was removed in rxvt-unicode 1.5,
137 and no programs relying on being able to query the mode are known.
138 - work around API change breakage in perl 5.28, based on a patch by
139 Roman Bogorodskiy.
140 - improved security: rob nation's (obsolete) graphics mode queries
141 no longer reply with linefeed in secure/default mode.
142 - ISO 8613-3 direct colour SGR sequences (patch by Fengguang Wu).
143 - xterm focus reporting mode (patch by Daniel Hahler).
144 - xterm SGR mouse mode.
145 - implement DECRQM. Patch by Přemysl Eric Janouch.
146 - add missing color index parameter to OSC 4 response. Patch
147 by Přemysl Eric Janouch.
148 - in some window managers, if smart resize was enabled, urxvt
149 erroneously moved the window on font change - awesome bug
150 #532, arch linux bug ##34807 (patch by Uli Schlachter).
151 - fix urxvtd crash when using a background expression.
152 - properly restore colors when using fading and reverse video
153 is enabled while urxvt is focused and then disabled while it
154 is not focused, or vice versa (patch by Daniel Hahler).
155 - fix high memory usage when an extension repeatedly hides and
156 shows an overlay (reported by Marcel Lautenbach).
157 - expose priv_modes member and constants to perl extensions
158 (patch by Rastislav Barlik).
159 - fix a whole slew of const sillyness, unfortunately forced upon
160 us by ISO C++.
161 - update to libecb 0x00010006.
162 - disable all thread support in ecb.h as we presumably don't need it.
163 - slightly improve Makefile source dependencies.
164 - work around bugs in newer Pod::Xhtml versions (flags incorrect formatting codes
165 in xhtml/html sections but does not interpret correct ones).
166
1679.22 Sat Jan 23 21:07:33 CET 2016
168 - NOTICE: this release updates terminfo.
169 - add terminfo capabilities for various ctrl and shift-ctrl key variants
170 (patch by Sebastian Schmidt).
171 - fix longstanding core font encoding bug where some character
172 ranges could not be mapped from unicode to the font: affected
173 encodings are big5, gb2312, iso8859-8 (hebrew), jis0201 and
174 ksc5601 (reported by Mikachu).
175 - fix crash when the number of columns is 1 and a 0 width character is inserted
176 (reported by Kuang-che Wu).
177 - fix a crash when parsing an invalid color specification (reported by Kuang-che Wu).
178 - fix a buffer overflow in font name parser (reported by Kuang-che Wu).
179 - do not start blinking cursor if the window is unfocused (reported by
180 Devin J. Pohly).
181 - change the width of underline and i-beam cursor to 2 pixels (based on
182 a patch by Omar Sandoval).
183 - add pointerShape resource to change the mouse pointer shape
184 (based on a patch by Brian Watson).
185 - a keysym resource for a key which is already bound to an
186 action now properly rebinds the key.
187 - do not report mouse motion events if Shift is active (patch by Daniel Hahler).
188 - put the alpha component last in responses to OSC color queries
189 (patch by Benjamin Herr).
190 - the key_press hook is now invoked before processing the
191 event, as documented. This change was done in 9.21 but not
192 announced and fixes debian bugs #511377, #531751 and red hat
193 bug #1105069. Note that this change breaks a few scripts,
194 such as mark-yank-urls, which rely on the previous buggy
195 behaviour that urxvt processes the event (in particular
196 keysym bindings) before invoking the hook.
197 - the tabbed extension now properly refreshes the active tab
198 on a key press when the mouse pointer is outside the terminal
199 window.
200 - add 'lookup_keysym' perl method to lookup the action bound
201 to a key combination.
202 - a key combination bound to 'matcher:select' can now be used
203 to cycle through the matches in matcher.
204 - change perl integer accessors (->width et al.) into mutators.
