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 - matcher extension documentation now points out some requirements for
94 regular expressions. the default url matching regex will now try
95 to match IRLs in addition to URLs.
96 - The view_start perl method now scrolls to the bottom also when the
97 argument is greater than 0.
98 - eval scroll actions now scroll to the bottom when scrolling down and
99 there are less lines to scroll than the ones requested (reported by
100 Stephen Talley).
101 - allow perl-ext and perl-ext-common to override autoloaded extensions.
102 this allows tabbed to disable itself in subtabs, avoiding recursive
103 loading.
104 - update precompose table to unicode 13.0.
105 - update charset conversion tables to perl 5.32 (this only affected
106 cs_koi8_u_from_unicode).
107 - unicode characters > 0x100000 were not handled correctly w.r.t.
108 font rendering.
109 - replace bitstream vera by dejavu sans, as it has replaced the former
110 almost everywhere.
111 - urxvt will now try tic -x first and only fall back to tic without -x
112 when tic -x fails.
113 - fix urclock not erasing the old date on the clock face, causing
114 overdraw, plus a host of other small fixes and improvements.
115 - shave off over 1K of code size from urclock by replacing the sine table
116 with a slightly less accurate fixed point approximation.
117 - do not specify indentation with =over in pod, this is no longer
118 needed with semi-modern pod tools and gives the formatter more
119 stylistic freedom.
120 - background extension did not set the "size-sensitive" flag
121 when repeat mode wasn't normal.
122 - extensions are now subjected to "use strict 'subs'".
123 - avoid crashing when xft successfully opens a font but then somehow
124 can't lock the face.
125 - locale_decode/encode api methods now pass through undef unchanged.
126 - fix undefined behaviour in the perl hook function, as diagnosed by clang.
127
1289.26 Fri May 14 19:14:14 CEST 2021
129 - ev_iouring.c was wrongly required during compilation, and wrongly
130 not packaged.
131
1329.25 Fri May 14 15:51:36 CEST 2021
133 - for the 17.5th anniversary, and because many distributions seem to
134 remove rxvt in favour of urxvt, this release resurrects rclock as
135 urclock.
136 - add support for systemd socket-based activation - debian bug #917105,
137 freebsd bug #234276.
138 - do not destruct perl on exit anymore: this might fail for a variety of
139 reasons, and takes unnecessary time.
140 - remove any macros from urxvtperl manpage(s), should fix debian
141 bug 858385.
142 - the old bg image resources are now provided by the background
143 extension, and perl is thus required for bg image support. No
144 configuration change is needed: urxvt autoloads the background
145 ext if any bg image resource/option is present (for OSC sequences to
146 work you need to enable it explicitly). The old bg image
147 resources are also now deprecated; users are encouraged to
148 switch to the new bg image interface (see man urxvt-background).
149 - confirm-paste now checks for any ctlchars, not just newlines.
150 - searchable scrollback will now ignore bracketed paste mode sequences
151 (prompted by Daniel Gröber's patch).
152 - drop ISO 2022 locale support. ISO 2022 encodings are not supported in
153 POSIX locales and clash with vt100 charset emulation (the luit
154 program can be used as a substitute).
155 - perl didn't parse rgba colours specified as an array correctly,
156 only allowing 0 and 100% intensity for each component (this affected
157 fill and tint).
158 - when iterating over resources, urxvt will now try to properly handle
159 multipart resources (such as "*background.expr"), for the benefit
160 of autoloading perl extensions.
161 - ESC G (query rxvt graphics mode) has been disabled due to security
162 implications. The rxvt graphics mode was removed in rxvt-unicode 1.5,
163 and no programs relying on being able to query the mode are known.
164 - work around API change breakage in perl 5.28, based on a patch by
165 Roman Bogorodskiy.
166 - improved security: rob nation's (obsolete) graphics mode queries
167 no longer reply with linefeed in secure/default mode.
42 - ISO 8613-3 direct colour SGR sequences (patch by Fengguang Wu). 168 - ISO 8613-3 direct colour SGR sequences (patch by Fengguang Wu).
43 - xterm focus reporting mode (patch by Daniel Hahler). 169 - xterm focus reporting mode (patch by Daniel Hahler).
170 - xterm SGR mouse mode.
171 - implement DECRQM. Patch by Přemysl Eric Janouch.
172 - add missing color index parameter to OSC 4 response. Patch
173 by Přemysl Eric Janouch.
44 - in some window managers, if smart resize was enabled, urxvt 174 - in some window managers, if smart resize was enabled, urxvt
45 erroneously moved the window on font change - awesome bug 175 erroneously moved the window on font change - awesome bug
46 #532, arch linux bug ##34807 (patch by Uli Schlachter). 176 #532, arch linux bug ##34807 (patch by Uli Schlachter).
177 - fix urxvtd crash when using a background expression.
178 - properly restore colors when using fading and reverse video
179 is enabled while urxvt is focused and then disabled while it
180 is not focused, or vice versa (patch by Daniel Hahler).
47 - fix high memory usage when an extension repeatedly hides and 181 - fix high memory usage when an extension repeatedly hides and
48 shows an overlay (reported by Marcel Lautenbach). 182 shows an overlay (reported by Marcel Lautenbach).
49 - the old bg image resources are now provided by the background 183 - expose priv_modes member and constants to perl extensions
50 extension, and perl is thus required for bg image support. No 184 (patch by Rastislav Barlik).
51 configuration change is needed: urxvt autoloads the background 185 - fix a whole slew of const sillyness, unfortunately forced upon
52 ext if any bg image resource/option is present. The old bg image 186 us by ISO C++.
53 resources are also now deprecated; users are encouraged to 187 - update to libecb 0x00010006.
54 switch to the new bg image interface (see man urxvt-background). 188 - disable all thread support in ecb.h as we presumably don't need it.
189 - slightly improve Makefile source dependencies.
190 - work around bugs in newer Pod::Xhtml versions (flags incorrect formatting codes
191 in xhtml/html sections but does not interpret correct ones).
