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 the "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).
174
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).
179 - fix longstanding core font encoding bug where some character
180 ranges could not be mapped from unicode to the font: affected
181 encodings are big5, gb2312, iso8859-8 (hebrew), jis0201 and
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).
187 - do not start blinking cursor if the window is unfocused (reported by
188 Devin J. Pohly).
189 - change the width of underline and i-beam cursor to 2 pixels (based on
190 a patch by Omar Sandoval).
191 - add pointerShape resource to change the mouse pointer shape
192 (based on a patch by Brian Watson).
193 - a keysym resource for a key which is already bound to an
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).
198 - the key_press hook is now invoked before processing the
199 event, as documented. This change was done in 9.21 but not
200 announced and fixes debian bugs #511377, #531751 and red hat
201 bug #1105069. Note that this change breaks a few scripts,
202 such as mark-yank-urls, which rely on the previous buggy
203 behaviour that urxvt processes the event (in particular
204 keysym bindings) before invoking the hook.
205 - the tabbed extension now properly refreshes the active tab
206 on a key press when the mouse pointer is outside the terminal
207 window.
208 - add 'lookup_keysym' perl method to lookup the action bound
209 to a key combination.
210 - a key combination bound to 'matcher:select' can now be used
211 to cycle through the matches in matcher.
212 - change perl integer accessors (->width et al.) into mutators.
213
2149.21 Wed Dec 31 14:50:03 CET 2014
215 - the "moa redraw 8-bit british vintage colour management" release.
216 - NOTICE: this release updates terminfo.
217 - fix pixel droppings on overdraw when a secondary core font has the
218 same height but different ascent.
219 - implement cvvis in terminfo as blinking cursor, to distinguish it
220 from cnorm (emacs uses cvvis which is commonly a blinking cursor).
221 - when xft support was compiled in, colour queries erroneously returned
222 premultiplied values, this also affected internal queries, for example
223 when calculating faded colour. alpha is now divided out when possible,
224 which is more correct but loses colour resolution.
225 - add DECSCUSR xterm extension to set the cursor to a vertical bar.
226 - add 'extension:string' action, and associated on_action perl
227 hook, for keysym resources that invokes actions provided by
228 perl extensions. The 'perl:string' action and
229 on_user_command hook are deprecated but still supported.
230 - add 'builtin-string' action for keysym resources that restores string
231 mappings for keys that have predefined actions in urxvt.
232 - add -k option to urxvtc for killing the daemon process.
233 - document urxvtd's -e/--eval option that was implemented in 9.16,
234 but not documented.
235 - add -dockapp option to make the wm treat urxvt as a dockapp.
236 - add -mc option and multiClickTime resource to set the maximum time
237 between multi-click select events (patch by Joe Peterson).
238 - new 'eval' extension to evaluate arbitrary perl code with keysym
239 bindings. The extension also provides methods that implement basic
240 actions, such as pasting selections and scrolling.
241 - the macosx-clipboard and macosx-clipboard-native extensions have been removed.
242 - kuake extension now uses the kuake.hotkey resource to specify the hotkey.
243 - new 'matcher:select' mode of matcher to iterate over the matches with the keyboard.
244 - the 'matcher:list' feature of matcher now honours the launcher
245 associated to a matched pattern.
246 - speed-up matcher underlining on very long lines (reported by Edward Z. Yang).
247 - fix up/down commands of searchable-scrollback so that they always move
248 to the previous/next logical line with a match, if any.
249 - searchable-scrollback resource has been deprecated (use keysym instead).
250 - extension parameter passing is deprecated (use resource mechanism instead).
251 - upgrade to GPLv3 (see COPYING).
252 - compile out of the box on Solaris 10, again.
253 - fix height and position of the stippled area in next scrollbar (patch
254 by Thomas Otto).
255 - fix off-by-one bug causing the iso14755 window not to jump out of the
256 way properly.
257 - fix crash that may happen if a lib to which urxvt is linked to calls setenv.
258 - fix memory leak in special_{encode,decode} perl methods.
259 - fix refresh bug that occurs when reverse video is set on a cell
260 containing a space and with the same bg and fg colour, red hat bug
261 #830236.
262 - fix crash that may happen if an x error is received after a terminal
263 window/popup has been destroyed already.
264 - removed superfluous 0 digit from sgr terminfo sequence.
265 - greatly improve colour allocation on colour-starved pseudocolour
266 displays to avoid read-write cells instead of simply failing
267 (this is only relevant for antique 8bpp frame buffers).
268 - do not free fade colours when not doing fading (this is likely
269 only relevant for antique 8bpp frame buffers).
270 - do not specialcase 2 or 4 colour visuals, leading to
271 simpler and actually more correct code.
272 - hopefully no longer leak colours on !truecolour visuals.
273 - use consistent method names (scr_recolour => scr_recolor).
274 - use simpler (but slightly less bogus) formula for nearest
275 colour choice (this is likely only relevant for antique 8bpp
276 frame buffers).
277 - remove fallback behaviour when initialising colours - the
278 behaviour was inconsistent between startup vs. later and
279 was only effective when valid colours couldn't be allocated.
280
2819.20 Sat Apr 26 16:22:27 CEST 2014
282 - (libptytty) fix bug that prevented urxvtd from writing utmp
283 entries when using --fork (reported by Ryan Kavanagh).
284 - security bugfix: window property values could be queried even
285 in secure mode (reported by Conor McCarthy).
286 - fix build when perl is enabled and fading is disabled.
287 - fix regression that broke continuous scrolling when pressing
288 and holding the scrollbar up or down button, gentoo bug #493992.
289 - increase the maximum length of a command sequence to 32k bytes,
290 to allow longer OSC sequences (previous limit was 2k).
291 - new Ctrl-Meta-c and Ctrl-Meta-v bindings to interact with
292 the CLIPBOARD selection.
293 - new extension: selection-to-clipboard.
294 - the extensions macosx-clipboard and macosx-clipboard-native
295 are deprecated and will be removed in the next release.
296 Support for the clipboard on OS X can be more generally
297 enabled by setting the XQuartz preference to sync the OS X
298 pasteboard and the X11 clipboard.
299
3009.19 Sun Oct 27 17:16:07 CET 2013
301 - work around perl 5.18.0 breakage in tabbed extension
302 (reported by Karol Blazewicz) and in pod (Dominic Hargreaves).
303 - fix regression that caused the double-click word selection to
304 erroneously include a tab on the left of the selected word.
305 - implement FOCUS variable and focus_fade function in background
306 expression, to allow focus-sensitive background images.
307 - add support for the set cursor style (DECSCUSR) control
308 function.
309 - honour cursorColor also when the cursor style is underline.
310 - export some Color_xxx constants to Perl.
311
3129.18 Sun Mar 24 15:33:35 CET 2013
313 - fix regression that caused artifacts on resize.
314
3159.17 Fri Mar 1 13:46:08 CET 2013
316 - add shade operator in background perl extension.
317 - avoid starting or ending the selection in the middle of wide
318 characters to avoid artifacts (reported by Tiago Resende).
319 - fix artifacts that may occur if the character in the cursor
320 cell has width > 1 (reported by Tiago Resende).
321 - fix regression that causes artifacts on scrolling if
322 saveLines is 0 and the window is resized (reported by Bert
323 Münnich).
324 - fix build when perl is enabled and pixbuf and transparency
325 are disabled.
326
3279.16 Thu Dec 27 11:56:43 CET 2012
328 - the "so much new stuff your eyes will pop out" release.
329 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: renamed urlLauncher resource to url-launcher.
330 - fix processing of DEC private mode save sequences (patch by Patrick
331 Hemmer).
332 - perl extensions now have their own manpages, installed as urxvt-NAME(1),
333 e.g. urxvt-background(1) - see urxvt-extensions(1) for a list.
334 - fix disabling of cursor blink with the option-popup menu (based on a
335 patch by Jan Larres).
336 - the font height is not augmented anymore when lineSpace is non zero.
337 - fix "new pagemap" vs. "delete pagemap" mismatch ([] vs. non-[]),
338 as diagnosed by clang.
339 - fix height mismatch between active and inactive cursor when
340 lineSpace is non zero (patch by Stanislav Seletskiy).
341 - make it compile with LOCAL_X_IS_UNIX again (reported by
342 nickfailure@gmail.com).
343 - completely redone background pixmap support - users can now
344 specify arbitrary expressions (And programs) that calculate
345 new terminal backgrounds. see the urxvt-background manpage
346 for details.
347 - xrender is now required for background pixmap support.
348 - perl extensions can now provide commandline switches and resources
349 which show up in -help etc.
350 - iso14755 51 mode window now displays row and column.
351 - implement a -visual switch and move that and -depth to frills, also
352 warn when we can't get the requested visual.
353 - new env variable: RXVT_PERL_LIB.
354 - allocate all screen memory in one go and let the virtual memory
355 subsystem sort it out. this simplifies code, improves access
356 locality, saves a bit of ram and makes things a bit faster, too.
357 - remove support for libafterimage.
358 - update to CVS version of libev, for a whopping 11kb size decrease.
359 - do not ship yet another copy of ecb.h, use the one in libev or
360 libptytty instead.
361 - selectively mark some methods as cache-hot/cache cold, which
362 might speed up execution but definitely decreases codesize.
363 - Fix regression that prevented the scrollbar trough color
364 from being applied (reported by Derek B. Noonburg).
365 - Fix the scrollbar size for rxvt style (patch by Mark Robinson).
366
3679.15 Sat Jan 21 13:36:56 CET 2012
368 - remove "using namespace std" because clang erroneously
369 thinks thats an error.
370 - finding a matching font (e.g. bold version of the base font)
371 was broken (reported by Eamon Walker).
372 - fix parsing of bg image styles. They really work now.
373 - fix blurring of bg image borders when using xrender.
374 - fix xrender blur on common xrender implementations that do
375 not behave correctly when the same pixmap is used as source
376 and destination in composite operations.
377 - fix regression that caused tabbed to compute the wrong size
378 for tabs.
379 - allow again an empty suffix in a keysym list spec (patch by
380 Sung Pae).
381 - unsupported support for sun studio's CC added.
382 - fix -C option on solaris.
383
3849.14 Wed Dec 21 18:40:33 CET 2011
385 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: the urxvtd default socket path is now
386 $HOME/.urxvt/urxvtd-<nodename>.
387 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: the "list" keysym expansion now requires
388 loading of the "keysym-list" perl extension.
389 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: A scale value of 0 in the bg image
390 geometry no longer enables tiling, so as to make it possible
391 to disable both scaling and tiling.
392 - overhaul of the bg image operations. The old operations have
393 been deprecated in favour of elementary operations and
394 styles built on top of the new operations and scale/position
395 settings. (Emanuele Giaquinta).
396 - support for libafterimage is deprecated and will be removed
397 in the next release.
398 - fix a crash caused by selection_check not properly resetting
399 out-of-bounds mark values (can happen when extending a selection
400 while scrolling up in curses programs for example).
401 - do not move the selection when scrolling up and the selection is
402 outside the scrolling region (Emanuele Giaquinta).
403 - fix display of bold bright black (reported by Ben Winslow).
404 - fix memory leak when urgentOnBell is set (patch by Nathaniel
405 Filardo).
406 - fix a redraw bug that occurs when a bg pixmap is set and the
407 wm does not honour the size hints set by urxvt. Now urxvt
408 forces the size of the terminal window to be a multiple of
409 the cell size.
410 - sanitise the argument of SD / SU sequences. Fixes a possible
411 crash when the argument is big enough, red hat bug #711137
412 (Emanuele Giaquinta).
413 - correctly split long lines when scrolling.
414 - urxvt now looks for perl extensions also in $HOME/.urxvt/ext.
415 - add bell-command perl extension to execute a command when a
416 bell event occurs (Ryan Kavanagh).
417 - add set_urgency perl binding to set/reset the urgency hint.
418 - consume button release event in matcher (exg).
419 - keyboard accessible list of recent matches in matcher
420 (Bob Farrell).
421 - properly process 'keysym' sequences in tabbed when using
422 'focus follows mouse' and the focus is on the main window
423 but not on the active terminal window (patch by Martin
424 Pohlack).
425 - support for the freedesktop startup-notification protocol (patch by
426 Michael Stapelberg).
427 - the direction of VPR and VPB commands was reversed.
428 - fix alignment of inherited root pixmap when it is a different size
429 than the root window and the terminal window is off the left or top
430 edge (Mikachu).
431 - make $self visible in "eval perl expression" popup action, also
432 handle exceptions better.
433 - fix parsing of '-e' when it occurs as an option argument, such as in
434 'urxvt -title -e' (Emanuele Giaquinta).

4369.12 Wed Jun 29 14:34:28 CEST 2011
437 - fix regression in processing of SelectionNotify events.
438 urxvt would fail to request a selection if the owner did not
439 support the UTF8_STRING target.
440 - fix rendering of double width chars in certain circumstances, more
441 likely to happen if urxvt is compiled with 256 colors support as
442 urxvt runs out of fonts much earlier then. Fixes gentoo bug #358151
443 (Emanuele Giaquinta).
444 - restore support for 'list' syntax in keysym resources (requested by Sung Pae).
445 - always premultiply colour values - while this increases differences between
446 core fonts and xft, it is "more correct" in practical situations.
447 - disable PTYTTY_REENTRANT option - not needed for urxvt and saves a bit of code.
448 - remove lucidatypewriter from the list of fallback fonts, it was the only
449 non-xft non-cellfont in the list anyway.
450
4519.11 Mon May 2 10:34:46 CEST 2011
452 - fix compilation on GNU/Hurd, debian bug #624736.
453 - remove 'list' syntax for keysym resources, as it serves no useful purpose.
454 If you need it, poke us and provide a use case.
455 - fix alpha channel support. Premultiply alpha in colours if the visual
456 supports an alpha channel, as xrender expects premultiplied alpha
457 (Emanuele Giaquinta).
458 - fix reply to a selection request sent by an obsolete client
459 such as syncterm (patch by Marcin Cieslak).
460 - fix crash when the window is resized and the overlay is active
461 (Emanuele Giaquinta, reported by Ryan Kavanagh).
462 - match character-wise rather than byte-wise in selection
463 extension again. perl 5.8.9+ is required to avoid extreme
464 slowdowns. Fixes debian bugs #523072, #616463.
465 - fix a possible crash if the INCR transfer process for a
466 selection property timeouts and at least one chunk is
467 received. (Emanuele Giaquinta)
468 - work around a memory corruption bug in xorg's XrmSetDatabase (apparently
469 broken since http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/xorg-commit-diffs/2004-March/000239.html).
470 - fix memory corruption bug when custom command sequences bound to keys
471 were injected into an already-full pty input buffer.
472 - gdk-pixbuf is autodetected by default and preferred over libafterimage.
473 - do not prepend a newline to the selection text when the starting line
474 of the selection is not highlighted (Emanuele Giaquinta).
475 - don't swap perl env with real env, save and restore it, just in case
476 we ever get recursive perl invocations. also saves a bit of codespace
477 with gcc.
478 - fix various memory leaks (Emanuele Giaquinta).
479 - fix typo in kIC terminfo capability, debian bug #446444.
480 - document 'thickness' resource.
481 - fix debian bug #504817, to the extent possible.
482 - try to detect byte order at compile time, saves a couple of
483 hundred bytes, if your compiler is smart enough.
484 - add support for previewing the pasted data in confirm-paste
485 (Emanuele Giaquinta).
486 - added "newlines to spaces" option in selection-popup.
487 - actually enabled solaris event ports backend (was disabled by accident).
488 - revert to 38400 baud max., mission accomplished.
489 - no longer create scary "pty_fill: PLEASE REPORT" message, instead,
490 silently drain the input (problem is well understood now).
491 - no longer swallow rob nation's own graphics mode commands.
492
4939.10 Mon Dec 13 17:43:52 CET 2010
494 - the "schmorp=north korea dickey=south korea" release.
495 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: make OSC 20 simpler and more correct
496 (Emanuele Giaquinta).
497 - if options were compiled out, this could lead to the option
498 count to be defined wrongly. This is likely behind the
499 failures with gcc 4.5.
500 - explicitly depend on fontconfig and xrender when xft support
501 is enabled. Although the public Xft api uses types from
502 both, in Xft 2.2.0 these libs are private
503 dependencies only thanks to an idiotic behaviour of
504 pkg-config that was added to workaround cases like this one.
505 Fixes linking when using GNU ld with --as-needed or GNU gold
506 (based on patch by Jan Palus).
507 - fix minor memory leaks in urxvt and urxvtd.
508 - fix regression in urxvtd that prevented options from being correctly
509 set (reported by Michal Vaner).
510 - implement xterm's horribly broken 1005 mouse reporting mode,
511 and an alternative 1015 mode that works in non-utf-8 locales
512 and has fewer limitations.
513 - fix a possible bug where mouse notifications didn't work after
514 startup for the upper left corner.
515 - implement our own pixbuf to pixmap rendering to get rid of
516 dependency on buggy gdk-pixbuf-xlib. Only truecolor visuals
517 are supported (Emanuele Giaquinta).
518 - apply tinting before shading when both operations are requested.
519 Previously they were intermixed when lightening and the result
520 was inaccurate and confusing. Note that now a black tint yields a
521 completely black image, regardless of shading (Emanuele Giaquinta).
522 - avoid spurious redraws of the bg image when bg is transparent or
523 when using 'root' mode (Emanuele Giaquinta).
524 - fix build on XFree86.
525 - dynamically number options according to compiletime requirements.
526 For the extra saved byte. Or so. Yay.
527 - start options at one, not zero. Wastes a bit per terminal. Maybe.
528 saves 50 instruction bytes. Possibly.
529
