49 - enable confirm-paste extension by default, can be disabled by e.g.
50 URxvt.perl-ext: -confirm-paste
51 - Key bindings specified with the -keysym option or with resources of
52 the form URxvt*keysym work again. Such resources, as opposed to
53 resources of the form URxvt.keysym, were not officially allowed but
54 accepted, so ignoring them is considered a regression.
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). Also, bracketed paste mode
61 is now under frills.
62 - if urxvt cannot detect a good estimate for font width (because a font does
63 not contain latin characters at all for example), it will now fall
64 back to xft's max_advance_width, which works well with some fonts. It
65 currently will warn about this.
66 - do not render variation selectors in the default font as boxes, treat
67 them as zero-width characters.
68 - change combining character architecture to allow fonts to handle
69 combining sequences on their own. This could allow future renderers
70 to be more intelligent about these sequences.
71 - use the previous enhancement to allow unicode characters outside of the
72 BMP to be rendered even without --enable-unicode3, as long as an
73 xft with the character is configured.
74 It's recommended to stay with disabled unicode3 even more now.
75 - freetype/xft have been verified to return nonsensical offsets for
76 combining characters. urxvt tries to compensate to some extent,
77 but diacritics will be slightly off in many cases, and far off in
78 some cases (e.g. input mono).
79 - when checking for overlap/careful handling, take non-basefont
80 character shifts into account.
81 - extensions can now request autoloading on OSC and Perl OSC sequences,
82 implement this for the background, clipboard-osc and overlay-osc
83 extensions.
84 - the background extension will now be autoloaded when the OSC 20 or 705
85 sequence is received.
86 - The view_start perl method now scrolls to the bottom also when the
87 argument is greater than 0.
88 - eval scroll actions now scroll to the bottom when scrolling down and
89 there are less lines to scroll than the ones requested (reported by
90 Stephen Talley).
91 - allow perl-ext and perl-ext-common to override autoloaded extensions.
92 this allows tabbed to disable itself in subtabs, avoiding recursive
93 loading.
94 - update precompose table to unicode 13.0.
95 - update charset conversion tables to perl 5.32 (this only affected
96 cs_koi8_u_from_unicode).
97 - unicode characters > 0x100000 were not handled correctly w.r.t.
98 font rendering.
99 - replace bitstream vera by dejavu sans, as it has replaced the former
100 almost everywhere.
101 - shave off over 1K of code size from urclock by replacing the sine table
102 with a slightly less accurate fixed point approximation.
103 - do not specify< indentation with =over in pod, this is no longer
104 needed with semi-modern pod tools and gives the formatter more
105 stylistic freedom.
106 - background extension did not set thre "size-sensitive" flag
107 when repeat mode wasn't normal.
108 - extensions are now subjected to "use strict 'subs'".
109
1109.26 Fri May 14 19:14:14 CEST 2021
111 - ev_iouring.c was wrongly required during compilation, and wrongly
112 not packaged.
113
1149.25 Fri May 14 15:51:36 CEST 2021
115 - for the 17.5th anniversary, and because many distributions seem to
116 remove rxvt in favour of urxvt, this release resurrects rclock as
117 urclock.
118 - add support for systemd socket-based activation - debian bug #917105,
119 freebsd bug #234276.
120 - do not destruct perl on exit anymore: this might fail for a variety of
121 reasons, and takes unnecessary time.
122 - remove any macros from urxvtperl manpage(s), should fix debian
123 bug 858385.
124 - the old bg image resources are now provided by the background
125 extension, and perl is thus required for bg image support. No
126 configuration change is needed: urxvt autoloads the background
127 ext if any bg image resource/option is present (for OSC sequences to
128 work you need to enable it explicitly). The old bg image
129 resources are also now deprecated; users are encouraged to
130 switch to the new bg image interface (see man urxvt-background).
131 - confirm-paste now checks for any ctlchars, not just newlines.
132 - searchable scrollback will now ignore bracketed paste mode sequences
133 (prompted by Daniel Gröber's patch).
134 - drop ISO 2022 locale support. ISO 2022 encodings are not supported in
135 POSIX locales and clash with vt100 charset emulation (the luit
136 program can be used as a substitute).
137 - perl didn't parse rgba colours specified as an array correctly,
138 only allowing 0 and 100% intensity for each component (this affected
139 fill and tint).
140 - when iterating over resources, urxvt will now try to properly handle
141 multipart resources (such as "*background.expr"), for the benefit
142 of autoloading perl extensions.
143 - ESC G (query rxvt graphics mode) has been disabled due to security
144 implications. The rxvt graphics mode was removed in rxvt-unicode 1.5,
145 and no programs relying on being able to query the mode are known.
146 - work around API change breakage in perl 5.28, based on a patch by
147 Roman Bogorodskiy.
148 - improved security: rob nation's (obsolete) graphics mode queries
149 no longer reply with linefeed in secure/default mode.
150 - ISO 8613-3 direct colour SGR sequences (patch by Fengguang Wu).
151 - xterm focus reporting mode (patch by Daniel Hahler).
152 - xterm SGR mouse mode.
153 - implement DECRQM. Patch by Přemysl Eric Janouch.
154 - add missing color index parameter to OSC 4 response. Patch
155 by Přemysl Eric Janouch.
156 - in some window managers, if smart resize was enabled, urxvt
157 erroneously moved the window on font change - awesome bug
158 #532, arch linux bug ##34807 (patch by Uli Schlachter).
159 - fix urxvtd crash when using a background expression.
160 - properly restore colors when using fading and reverse video
161 is enabled while urxvt is focused and then disabled while it
162 is not focused, or vice versa (patch by Daniel Hahler).
163 - fix high memory usage when an extension repeatedly hides and
164 shows an overlay (reported by Marcel Lautenbach).
165 - expose priv_modes member and constants to perl extensions
166 (patch by Rastislav Barlik).
167 - fix a whole slew of const sillyness, unfortunately forced upon
168 us by ISO C++.
169 - update to libecb 0x00010006.
170 - disable all thread support in ecb.h as we presumably don't need it.
171 - slightly improve Makefile source dependencies.
172 - work around bugs in newer Pod::Xhtml versions (flags incorrect formatting codes
173 in xhtml/html sections but does not interpret correct ones).

1759.22 Sat Jan 23 21:07:33 CET 2016
176 - NOTICE: this release updates terminfo.
177 - add terminfo capabilities for various ctrl and shift-ctrl key variants
178 (patch by Sebastian Schmidt).
41 - fix longstanding core font encoding bug where some character 179 - fix longstanding core font encoding bug where some character
42 ranges could not be mapped from unicode to the font: affected 180 ranges could not be mapped from unicode to the font: affected
43 encodings are big5, gb2312, iso8859-8 (hebrew), jis0201 and 181 encodings are big5, gb2312, iso8859-8 (hebrew), jis0201 and
44 ksc5601 (reported by Mikachu). 182 ksc5601 (reported by Mikachu).
183 - fix crash when the number of columns is 1 and a 0 width character is inserted
184 (reported by Kuang-che Wu).
185 - fix a crash when parsing an invalid color specification (reported by Kuang-che Wu).
186 - fix a buffer overflow in font name parser (reported by Kuang-che Wu).
45 - do not start blinking cursor if the window is unfocused (reported by 187 - do not start blinking cursor if the window is unfocused (reported by
46 Devin J. Pohly). 188 Devin J. Pohly).
47 - change the width of underline and i-beam cursor to 2 pixels (based on 189 - change the width of underline and i-beam cursor to 2 pixels (based on
48 a patch by Omar Sandoval). 190 a patch by Omar Sandoval).
49 - add pointerShape resource to change the mouse pointer shape 191 - add pointerShape resource to change the mouse pointer shape

52 action now properly rebinds the key. 194 action now properly rebinds the key.
195 - do not report mouse motion events if Shift is active (patch by Daniel Hahler).
196 - put the alpha component last in responses to OSC color queries
197 (patch by Benjamin Herr).
53 - the key_press hook is now invoked before processing the 198 - the key_press hook is now invoked before processing the
54 event, as documented. This change was done in 9.21 but not 199 event, as documented. This change was done in 9.21 but not
