48TODO: match default regex does not match https://猫.移动/tmp/ => document special encoding and possibly rewrite the regex.
49 - libptytty is now an external dependency.
50 - enable confirm-paste extension by default, can be disabled by e.g.
51 URxvt.perl-ext: -confirm-paste
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 - add manpage for urclock.
64 - confirm-paste wrongly considered brackets as ctrlchars (patch by
65 Jakub Wilk, debian bug #995244).
66 - if urxvt cannot detect a good estimate for font width (because a font does
67 not contain latin characters at all for example), it will now fall
68 back to xft's max_advance_width, which works well with some fonts. It
69 currently will warn about this.
70 - do not render variation selectors in the default font as boxes, treat
71 them as zero-width characters.
72 - change combining character architecture to allow fonts to handle
73 combining sequences on their own. This could allow future renderers
74 to be more intelligent about these sequences.
75 - use the previous enhancement to allow unicode characters outside of the
76 BMP to be rendered even without --enable-unicode3, as long as an
77 xft with the character is configured.
78 It's recommended to stay with disabled unicode3 even more now.
79 - freetype/xft have been verified to return nonsensical offsets for
80 combining characters. urxvt tries to compensate to some extent,
81 but diacritics will be slightly off in many cases, and far off in
82 some cases (e.g. input mono).
83 - when checking for overlap/careful handling, take non-basefont
84 character shifts into account.
85 - extensions can now request autoloading on OSC and Perl OSC sequences,
86 implement this for the background, clipboard-osc and overlay-osc
87 extensions.
88 - the background extension will now be autoloaded when the OSC 20 or 705
89 sequence is received.
90 - added OSC 776 sequence to return character cell width, height and font
91 ascent, which is useful when using urxvt as slave to calculate window
92 size form or to row/column count.
93 - The view_start perl method now scrolls to the bottom also when the
94 argument is greater than 0.
95 - eval scroll actions now scroll to the bottom when scrolling down and
96 there are less lines to scroll than the ones requested (reported by
97 Stephen Talley).
98 - allow perl-ext and perl-ext-common to override autoloaded extensions.
99 this allows tabbed to disable itself in subtabs, avoiding recursive
100 loading.
101 - update precompose table to unicode 13.0.
102 - update charset conversion tables to perl 5.32 (this only affected
103 cs_koi8_u_from_unicode).
104 - unicode characters > 0x100000 were not handled correctly w.r.t.
105 font rendering.
106 - replace bitstream vera by dejavu sans, as it has replaced the former
107 almost everywhere.
108 - urxvt will now try tic -x first and only fall back to tic without -x
109 when tic -x fails.
110 - fix urclock not erasing the old date on the clock face, causing
111 overdraw, plus a host of other small fixes and improvements.
112 - shave off over 1K of code size from urclock by replacing the sine table
113 with a slightly less accurate fixed point approximation.
114 - do not specify indentation with =over in pod, this is no longer
115 needed with semi-modern pod tools and gives the formatter more
116 stylistic freedom.
117 - background extension did not set the "size-sensitive" flag
118 when repeat mode wasn't normal.
119 - extensions are now subjected to "use strict 'subs'".
120 - avoid crashing when xft successfully opens a font but then somehow
121 can't lock the face.
122 - locale_decode/encode api methods now pass through undef unchanged.
123 - fix undefined behaviour in the perl hook function, as diagnosed by clang.
124
1259.26 Fri May 14 19:14:14 CEST 2021
126 - ev_iouring.c was wrongly required during compilation, and wrongly
127 not packaged.
128
1299.25 Fri May 14 15:51:36 CEST 2021
130 - for the 17.5th anniversary, and because many distributions seem to
131 remove rxvt in favour of urxvt, this release resurrects rclock as
132 urclock.
133 - add support for systemd socket-based activation - debian bug #917105,
134 freebsd bug #234276.
135 - do not destruct perl on exit anymore: this might fail for a variety of
136 reasons, and takes unnecessary time.
137 - remove any macros from urxvtperl manpage(s), should fix debian
138 bug 858385.
139 - the old bg image resources are now provided by the background
140 extension, and perl is thus required for bg image support. No
141 configuration change is needed: urxvt autoloads the background
142 ext if any bg image resource/option is present (for OSC sequences to
143 work you need to enable it explicitly). The old bg image
144 resources are also now deprecated; users are encouraged to
145 switch to the new bg image interface (see man urxvt-background).
146 - confirm-paste now checks for any ctlchars, not just newlines.
147 - searchable scrollback will now ignore bracketed paste mode sequences
148 (prompted by Daniel Gröber's patch).
149 - drop ISO 2022 locale support. ISO 2022 encodings are not supported in
150 POSIX locales and clash with vt100 charset emulation (the luit
151 program can be used as a substitute).
152 - perl didn't parse rgba colours specified as an array correctly,
153 only allowing 0 and 100% intensity for each component (this affected
154 fill and tint).
155 - when iterating over resources, urxvt will now try to properly handle
156 multipart resources (such as "*background.expr"), for the benefit
157 of autoloading perl extensions.
158 - ESC G (query rxvt graphics mode) has been disabled due to security
159 implications. The rxvt graphics mode was removed in rxvt-unicode 1.5,
160 and no programs relying on being able to query the mode are known.
161 - work around API change breakage in perl 5.28, based on a patch by
162 Roman Bogorodskiy.
163 - improved security: rob nation's (obsolete) graphics mode queries
164 no longer reply with linefeed in secure/default mode.
165 - ISO 8613-3 direct colour SGR sequences (patch by Fengguang Wu).
166 - xterm focus reporting mode (patch by Daniel Hahler).
167 - xterm SGR mouse mode.
168 - implement DECRQM. Patch by Přemysl Eric Janouch.
169 - add missing color index parameter to OSC 4 response. Patch
170 by Přemysl Eric Janouch.
171 - in some window managers, if smart resize was enabled, urxvt
172 erroneously moved the window on font change - awesome bug
173 #532, arch linux bug ##34807 (patch by Uli Schlachter).
174 - fix urxvtd crash when using a background expression.
175 - properly restore colors when using fading and reverse video
176 is enabled while urxvt is focused and then disabled while it
177 is not focused, or vice versa (patch by Daniel Hahler).
178 - fix high memory usage when an extension repeatedly hides and
179 shows an overlay (reported by Marcel Lautenbach).
180 - expose priv_modes member and constants to perl extensions
181 (patch by Rastislav Barlik).
182 - fix a whole slew of const sillyness, unfortunately forced upon
183 us by ISO C++.
184 - update to libecb 0x00010006.
185 - disable all thread support in ecb.h as we presumably don't need it.
186 - slightly improve Makefile source dependencies.
187 - work around bugs in newer Pod::Xhtml versions (flags incorrect formatting codes
188 in xhtml/html sections but does not interpret correct ones).
189
1909.22 Sat Jan 23 21:07:33 CET 2016
191 - NOTICE: this release updates terminfo.
192 - add terminfo capabilities for various ctrl and shift-ctrl key variants
193 (patch by Sebastian Schmidt).
194 - fix longstanding core font encoding bug where some character
195 ranges could not be mapped from unicode to the font: affected
196 encodings are big5, gb2312, iso8859-8 (hebrew), jis0201 and
197 ksc5601 (reported by Mikachu).
198 - fix crash when the number of columns is 1 and a 0 width character is inserted
199 (reported by Kuang-che Wu).
200 - fix a crash when parsing an invalid color specification (reported by Kuang-che Wu).
201 - fix a buffer overflow in font name parser (reported by Kuang-che Wu).
202 - do not start blinking cursor if the window is unfocused (reported by
203 Devin J. Pohly).
204 - change the width of underline and i-beam cursor to 2 pixels (based on
205 a patch by Omar Sandoval).
206 - add pointerShape resource to change the mouse pointer shape
207 (based on a patch by Brian Watson).
208 - a keysym resource for a key which is already bound to an
209 action now properly rebinds the key.
210 - do not report mouse motion events if Shift is active (patch by Daniel Hahler).
211 - put the alpha component last in responses to OSC color queries
212 (patch by Benjamin Herr).
213 - the key_press hook is now invoked before processing the
214 event, as documented. This change was done in 9.21 but not
215 announced and fixes debian bugs #511377, #531751 and red hat
216 bug #1105069. Note that this change breaks a few scripts,
217 such as mark-yank-urls, which rely on the previous buggy
218 behaviour that urxvt processes the event (in particular
219 keysym bindings) before invoking the hook.
220 - the tabbed extension now properly refreshes the active tab
221 on a key press when the mouse pointer is outside the terminal
222 window.
223 - add 'lookup_keysym' perl method to lookup the action bound
224 to a key combination.
225 - a key combination bound to 'matcher:select' can now be used
226 to cycle through the matches in matcher.
227 - change perl integer accessors (->width et al.) into mutators.
228
2299.21 Wed Dec 31 14:50:03 CET 2014
230 - the "moa redraw 8-bit british vintage colour management" release.
231 - NOTICE: this release updates terminfo.
232 - fix pixel droppings on overdraw when a secondary core font has the
233 same height but different ascent.
234 - implement cvvis in terminfo as blinking cursor, to distinguish it
235 from cnorm (emacs uses cvvis which is commonly a blinking cursor).
236 - when xft support was compiled in, colour queries erroneously returned
237 premultiplied values, this also affected internal queries, for example
238 when calculating faded colour. alpha is now divided out when possible,
239 which is more correct but loses colour resolution.
240 - add DECSCUSR xterm extension to set the cursor to a vertical bar.
241 - add 'extension:string' action, and associated on_action perl
242 hook, for keysym resources that invokes actions provided by
243 perl extensions. The 'perl:string' action and
244 on_user_command hook are deprecated but still supported.
245 - add 'builtin-string' action for keysym resources that restores string
246 mappings for keys that have predefined actions in urxvt.
247 - add -k option to urxvtc for killing the daemon process.
248 - document urxvtd's -e/--eval option that was implemented in 9.16,
249 but not documented.
250 - add -dockapp option to make the wm treat urxvt as a dockapp.
251 - add -mc option and multiClickTime resource to set the maximum time
252 between multi-click select events (patch by Joe Peterson).
253 - new 'eval' extension to evaluate arbitrary perl code with keysym
254 bindings. The extension also provides methods that implement basic
255 actions, such as pasting selections and scrolling.
256 - the macosx-clipboard and macosx-clipboard-native extensions have been removed.
257 - kuake extension now uses the kuake.hotkey resource to specify the hotkey.
258 - new 'matcher:select' mode of matcher to iterate over the matches with the keyboard.
259 - the 'matcher:list' feature of matcher now honours the launcher
260 associated to a matched pattern.
261 - speed-up matcher underlining on very long lines (reported by Edward Z. Yang).
262 - fix up/down commands of searchable-scrollback so that they always move
263 to the previous/next logical line with a match, if any.
264 - searchable-scrollback resource has been deprecated (use keysym instead).
265 - extension parameter passing is deprecated (use resource mechanism instead).
266 - upgrade to GPLv3 (see COPYING).
267 - compile out of the box on Solaris 10, again.
268 - fix height and position of the stippled area in next scrollbar (patch
269 by Thomas Otto).
270 - fix off-by-one bug causing the iso14755 window not to jump out of the
271 way properly.
272 - fix crash that may happen if a lib to which urxvt is linked to calls setenv.
273 - fix memory leak in special_{encode,decode} perl methods.
274 - fix refresh bug that occurs when reverse video is set on a cell
275 containing a space and with the same bg and fg colour, red hat bug
276 #830236.
277 - fix crash that may happen if an x error is received after a terminal
278 window/popup has been destroyed already.
279 - removed superfluous 0 digit from sgr terminfo sequence.
280 - greatly improve colour allocation on colour-starved pseudocolour
281 displays to avoid read-write cells instead of simply failing
282 (this is only relevant for antique 8bpp frame buffers).
283 - do not free fade colours when not doing fading (this is likely
284 only relevant for antique 8bpp frame buffers).
285 - do not specialcase 2 or 4 colour visuals, leading to
286 simpler and actually more correct code.
287 - hopefully no longer leak colours on !truecolour visuals.
288 - use consistent method names (scr_recolour => scr_recolor).
289 - use simpler (but slightly less bogus) formula for nearest
290 colour choice (this is likely only relevant for antique 8bpp
291 frame buffers).
292 - remove fallback behaviour when initialising colours - the
293 behaviour was inconsistent between startup vs. later and
294 was only effective when valid colours couldn't be allocated.
295
2969.20 Sat Apr 26 16:22:27 CEST 2014
297 - (libptytty) fix bug that prevented urxvtd from writing utmp
298 entries when using --fork (reported by Ryan Kavanagh).
299 - security bugfix: window property values could be queried even
300 in secure mode (reported by Conor McCarthy).
301 - fix build when perl is enabled and fading is disabled.
302 - fix regression that broke continuous scrolling when pressing
303 and holding the scrollbar up or down button, gentoo bug #493992.
304 - increase the maximum length of a command sequence to 32k bytes,
305 to allow longer OSC sequences (previous limit was 2k).
306 - new Ctrl-Meta-c and Ctrl-Meta-v bindings to interact with
307 the CLIPBOARD selection.
308 - new extension: selection-to-clipboard.
309 - the extensions macosx-clipboard and macosx-clipboard-native
310 are deprecated and will be removed in the next release.
311 Support for the clipboard on OS X can be more generally
312 enabled by setting the XQuartz preference to sync the OS X
313 pasteboard and the X11 clipboard.
314
3159.19 Sun Oct 27 17:16:07 CET 2013
316 - work around perl 5.18.0 breakage in tabbed extension
317 (reported by Karol Blazewicz) and in pod (Dominic Hargreaves).
318 - fix regression that caused the double-click word selection to
319 erroneously include a tab on the left of the selected word.
320 - implement FOCUS variable and focus_fade function in background
321 expression, to allow focus-sensitive background images.
322 - add support for the set cursor style (DECSCUSR) control
323 function.
324 - honour cursorColor also when the cursor style is underline.
325 - export some Color_xxx constants to Perl.
326
3279.18 Sun Mar 24 15:33:35 CET 2013
328 - fix regression that caused artifacts on resize.
329
3309.17 Fri Mar 1 13:46:08 CET 2013
331 - add shade operator in background perl extension.
332 - avoid starting or ending the selection in the middle of wide
333 characters to avoid artifacts (reported by Tiago Resende).
334 - fix artifacts that may occur if the character in the cursor
335 cell has width > 1 (reported by Tiago Resende).
336 - fix regression that causes artifacts on scrolling if
337 saveLines is 0 and the window is resized (reported by Bert
338 Münnich).
339 - fix build when perl is enabled and pixbuf and transparency
340 are disabled.
341
