5403:32:26 <BlueFish> Hi. I think I found a bug in special_encode in rxvtperl.xs
5503:33:37 <BlueFish> special_encode('لا') or any other string that contains 'لا' returns a disturbed string
5603:33:40 <schmorp> hi BlueFish
5703:34:10 <schmorp> whats a disturbed string?
5803:34:25 <BlueFish> for example سلام becomes ملام
5903:35:05 <BlueFish> see this issue: https://github.com/mkamensky/Text-Bidi/issues/10 I was trying to fix it
60 and after playing around for a while found out that special_encode is causing the problem
6103:35:36 <schmorp> does this happen when you compile without --enable-combining (or with --disable-combining)?
6203:37:40 <BlueFish> I don't know the one that I installed from my distro repository has this flag or not. Is
63 there anyway to check?
6403:38:49 <schmorp> rxvt --help will output a options: line at the top, whioch will list "combining"
6503:39:10 <schmorp> anyway, I don't think i will understand this at my current tiredness level, I'll have a
66 look when I have time
6703:39:26 <schmorp> are you usually around on this network, so I coulöd ask you in cas eI have questions?
6803:40:25 <BlueFish> yes combining is enabled. No I don't check IRC that much. You can reach me via email
6903:40:44 <schmorp> ok, thats fine

72 - implement a fix for CVE-2022-4170 (reported and analyzed by David Leadbeater).
73 While present in version 9.30, it should not be exploitable. It is exploitable
74 in versions 9.25 and 9.26, at least, and allows anybody controlling terminal
75 input to execute arbitrary code in the urxvt process.
76 - the background extension no longer requires off focus fading support
77 to be compiled in.
78 - fix compiling without frills.
79 - fix rewrapMode: never.
80 - fix regression that caused urxvt to no longer emit responses
81 to OSC color queries other than OSC 4 ones.
82 - fix regression that caused urxvt to no longer process OSC 705.
83 - exec_async (used e.g. by the matcher extension to spawn processes) now
84 sets the URXVT_EXT_WINDOWID variable to the window id opf the terminal.
85 - implement -fps option/refreshRate resource to change the default 60 Hz
86 maximum refresh limiter. I always wanted an fps option, but had to
87 wait for a user requesting it.
88
899.30 Sat 27 Nov 2021 21:07:09 CET
90 - the background extension did not initialise properly when automatically
91 loaded via the OSC.
92 - new "on_attach" hook type implemented, to initialise late-loading
93 extensions.
94
959.29 Mon 22 Nov 2021 18:07:14 CET
96 - libptytty (http://dist.schmorp.de/libptytty/) is now a required
97 external dependency.
98 - enable confirm-paste extension by default, can be disabled by e.g.
99 URxvt.perl-ext: -confirm-paste
100 - Key bindings specified with the -keysym option or with resources of
101 the form URxvt*keysym work again. Such resources, as opposed to
102 resources of the form URxvt.keysym, were not officially allowed but
103 accepted, so ignoring them is considered a regression.
104 - new option/resource -rm/rewrapMode, which sets the line rewrap
105 mode to auto, never or always.
106 - new option/resource -dpb/disablePasteBrackets, which can be used to
107 disable bracketed paste mode sequences, as more and more programs
108 abuse these sequences (typically in the name of security, but these
109 sequences are not improving security). Also, bracketed paste mode
110 is now under frills.
111 - add manpage for urclock.
112 - confirm-paste wrongly considered brackets as ctrlchars (patch by
113 Jakub Wilk, debian bug #995244).
50 - if urxvt cannot detect a good estimate for font width (because a font does 114 - if urxvt cannot detect a good estimate for font width (because a font does
51 not contain laitn characters at all for example), it will now fall 115 not contain latin characters at all for example), it will now fall
52 back to xft's max_advance_width, which works well with soem fonts. It 116 back to xft's max_advance_width, which works well with some fonts. It
53 currently will warn about this. 117 currently will warn about this.
54 - do not render variation selectors in the default font as boxes, treat 118 - do not render variation selectors in the default font as boxes, treat
55 them as zero-width characters. 119 them as zero-width characters.
56 - unicode characters outside of the BMP can now be rendered even 120 - change combining character architecture to allow fonts to handle
57 without --enable-unicode3, when using xft fonts. 121 combining sequences on their own. This could allow future renderers
122 to be more intelligent about these sequences.
123 - use the previous enhancement to allow unicode characters outside of the
124 BMP to be rendered even without --enable-unicode3, as long as an
125 xft with the character is configured.
126 It's recommended to stay with disabled unicode3 even more now.
127 - freetype/xft have been verified to return nonsensical offsets for
128 combining characters. urxvt tries to compensate to some extent,
129 but diacritics will be slightly off in many cases, and far off in
130 some cases (e.g. input mono).
131 - when checking for overlap/careful handling, take non-basefont
132 character shifts into account.
133 - extensions can now request autoloading on OSC and Perl OSC sequences,
134 implement this for the background, clipboard-osc and overlay-osc
135 extensions.
136 - the background extension will now be autoloaded when the OSC 20 or 705
137 sequence is received.
138 - added OSC 776 sequence to return character cell width, height and font
139 ascent, which is useful when using urxvt as slave to calculate window
140 size form or to row/column count.
141 - matcher extension documentation now points out some requirements for
142 regular expressions. the default url matching regex will now try
143 to match IRLs in addition to URLs.
144 - The view_start perl method now scrolls to the bottom also when the
145 argument is greater than 0.
146 - eval scroll actions now scroll to the bottom when scrolling down and
147 there are less lines to scroll than the ones requested (reported by
148 Stephen Talley).
58 - allow perl-ext and perl-ext-common to override autoloaded extensions. 149 - allow perl-ext and perl-ext-common to override autoloaded extensions.
59 this allows tabbed to disable itself in subtabs, avoiding recursive 150 this allows tabbed to disable itself in subtabs, avoiding recursive
60 loading. 151 loading.
61 - update precompose table to unicode 13.0. 152 - update precompose table to unicode 13.0.

63 cs_koi8_u_from_unicode). 154 cs_koi8_u_from_unicode).
64 - unicode characters > 0x100000 were not handled correctly w.r.t. 155 - unicode characters > 0x100000 were not handled correctly w.r.t.
65 font rendering. 156 font rendering.
157 - replace bitstream vera by dejavu sans, as it has replaced the former
158 almost everywhere.
159 - urxvt will now try tic -x first and only fall back to tic without -x
160 when tic -x fails.
161 - fix urclock not erasing the old date on the clock face, causing
162 overdraw, plus a host of other small fixes and improvements.
163 - shave off over 1K of code size from urclock by replacing the sine table
164 with a slightly less accurate fixed point approximation.
165 - do not specify indentation with =over in pod, this is no longer
166 needed with semi-modern pod tools and gives the formatter more
167 stylistic freedom.
168 - background extension did not set the "size-sensitive" flag
169 when repeat mode wasn't normal.
170 - extensions are now subjected to "use strict 'subs'".
171 - avoid crashing when xft successfully opens a font but then somehow
172 can't lock the face.
173 - locale_decode/encode api methods now pass through undef unchanged.
174 - fix undefined behaviour in the perl hook function, as diagnosed by clang.
