53 - implement a fix for CVE-2022-4170 (reported and analyzed by David Leadbeater).
54 While present in version 9.30, it should not be exploitable. It is exploitable
55 in versions 9.25 and 9.26, at least, and allows anybody controlling terminal
56 input to execute arbitrary code in the urxvt process.
57 - the background extension no longer requires off focus fading support
58 to be compiled in.
59 - the confirm-paste extension now offers a choice betwene pasting the original
60 or a sanitized version, and also frees up memory used to store the paste text
61 immediately.
62 - fix compiling without frills.
63 - fix rewrapMode: never.
64 - fix regression that caused urxvt to no longer emit responses
65 to OSC color queries other than OSC 4 ones.
66 - fix regression that caused urxvt to no longer process OSC 705.
67 - restore CENTURY to be 1900 to "improve" year parsing in urclock (or at
68 least go back to the old interpretation) (based on an analysis
69 by Tommy Pettersson).
70 - exec_async (used e.g. by the matcher extension to spawn processes) now
71 sets the URXVT_EXT_WINDOWID variable to the window id of the terminal.
72 - implement -fps option/refreshRate resource to change the default 60 Hz
73 maximum refresh limiter. I always wanted an fps option, but had to
74 wait for a user requesting it.
75
769.30 Sat 27 Nov 2021 21:07:09 CET
77 - the background extension did not initialise properly when automatically
78 loaded via the OSC.
79 - new "on_attach" hook type implemented, to initialise late-loading
80 extensions.
81
829.29 Mon 22 Nov 2021 18:07:14 CET
83 - libptytty (http://dist.schmorp.de/libptytty/) is now a required
84 external dependency.
85 - enable confirm-paste extension by default, can be disabled by e.g.
86 URxvt.perl-ext: -confirm-paste
87 - Key bindings specified with the -keysym option or with resources of
88 the form URxvt*keysym work again. Such resources, as opposed to
89 resources of the form URxvt.keysym, were not officially allowed but
90 accepted, so ignoring them is considered a regression.
91 - new option/resource -rm/rewrapMode, which sets the line rewrap
92 mode to auto, never or always.
93 - new option/resource -dpb/disablePasteBrackets, which can be used to
94 disable bracketed paste mode sequences, as more and more programs
95 abuse these sequences (typically in the name of security, but these
96 sequences are not improving security). Also, bracketed paste mode
97 is now under frills.
98 - add manpage for urclock.
99 - confirm-paste wrongly considered brackets as ctrlchars (patch by
100 Jakub Wilk, debian bug #995244).
101 - if urxvt cannot detect a good estimate for font width (because a font does
102 not contain latin characters at all for example), it will now fall
103 back to xft's max_advance_width, which works well with some fonts. It
104 currently will warn about this.
105 - do not render variation selectors in the default font as boxes, treat
106 them as zero-width characters.
107 - change combining character architecture to allow fonts to handle
108 combining sequences on their own. This could allow future renderers
109 to be more intelligent about these sequences.
110 - use the previous enhancement to allow unicode characters outside of the
111 BMP to be rendered even without --enable-unicode3, as long as an
112 xft with the character is configured.
113 It's recommended to stay with disabled unicode3 even more now.
114 - freetype/xft have been verified to return nonsensical offsets for
115 combining characters. urxvt tries to compensate to some extent,
116 but diacritics will be slightly off in many cases, and far off in
117 some cases (e.g. input mono).
118 - when checking for overlap/careful handling, take non-basefont
119 character shifts into account.
120 - extensions can now request autoloading on OSC and Perl OSC sequences,
121 implement this for the background, clipboard-osc and overlay-osc
122 extensions.
123 - the background extension will now be autoloaded when the OSC 20 or 705
124 sequence is received.
125 - added OSC 776 sequence to return character cell width, height and font
126 ascent, which is useful when using urxvt as slave to calculate window
127 size form or to row/column count.
128 - matcher extension documentation now points out some requirements for
129 regular expressions. the default url matching regex will now try
130 to match IRLs in addition to URLs.
131 - The view_start perl method now scrolls to the bottom also when the
132 argument is greater than 0.
133 - eval scroll actions now scroll to the bottom when scrolling down and
134 there are less lines to scroll than the ones requested (reported by
135 Stephen Talley).
136 - allow perl-ext and perl-ext-common to override autoloaded extensions.
137 this allows tabbed to disable itself in subtabs, avoiding recursive
138 loading.
139 - update precompose table to unicode 13.0.
140 - update charset conversion tables to perl 5.32 (this only affected
141 cs_koi8_u_from_unicode).
142 - unicode characters > 0x100000 were not handled correctly w.r.t.
143 font rendering.
144 - replace bitstream vera by dejavu sans, as it has replaced the former
145 almost everywhere.
146 - urxvt will now try tic -x first and only fall back to tic without -x
147 when tic -x fails.
148 - fix urclock not erasing the old date on the clock face, causing
149 overdraw, plus a host of other small fixes and improvements.
150 - shave off over 1K of code size from urclock by replacing the sine table
151 with a slightly less accurate fixed point approximation.
152 - do not specify indentation with =over in pod, this is no longer
153 needed with semi-modern pod tools and gives the formatter more
154 stylistic freedom.
155 - background extension did not set the "size-sensitive" flag
156 when repeat mode wasn't normal.
157 - extensions are now subjected to "use strict 'subs'".
158 - avoid crashing when xft successfully opens a font but then somehow
159 can't lock the face.
160 - locale_decode/encode api methods now pass through undef unchanged.
161 - fix undefined behaviour in the perl hook function, as diagnosed by clang.
162
1639.26 Fri May 14 19:14:14 CEST 2021
164 - ev_iouring.c was wrongly required during compilation, and wrongly
165 not packaged.
166
1679.25 Fri May 14 15:51:36 CEST 2021
168 - for the 17.5th anniversary, and because many distributions seem to
169 remove rxvt in favour of urxvt, this release resurrects rclock as
170 urclock.
171 - add support for systemd socket-based activation - debian bug #917105,
172 freebsd bug #234276.
173 - do not destruct perl on exit anymore: this might fail for a variety of
174 reasons, and takes unnecessary time.
175 - remove any macros from urxvtperl manpage(s), should fix debian
176 bug 858385.
177 - the old bg image resources are now provided by the background
178 extension, and perl is thus required for bg image support. No
179 configuration change is needed: urxvt autoloads the background
180 ext if any bg image resource/option is present (for OSC sequences to
181 work you need to enable it explicitly). The old bg image
182 resources are also now deprecated; users are encouraged to
183 switch to the new bg image interface (see man urxvt-background).
184 - confirm-paste now checks for any ctlchars, not just newlines.
185 - searchable scrollback will now ignore bracketed paste mode sequences
186 (prompted by Daniel Gröber's patch).
187 - drop ISO 2022 locale support. ISO 2022 encodings are not supported in
188 POSIX locales and clash with vt100 charset emulation (the luit
189 program can be used as a substitute).
190 - perl didn't parse rgba colours specified as an array correctly,
191 only allowing 0 and 100% intensity for each component (this affected
192 fill and tint).
193 - when iterating over resources, urxvt will now try to properly handle
194 multipart resources (such as "*background.expr"), for the benefit
195 of autoloading perl extensions.
196 - ESC G (query rxvt graphics mode) has been disabled due to security
197 implications. The rxvt graphics mode was removed in rxvt-unicode 1.5,
198 and no programs relying on being able to query the mode are known.
199 - work around API change breakage in perl 5.28, based on a patch by
200 Roman Bogorodskiy.
46 - improved security: rob nation's (obsolete) graphics mode queries 201 - improved security: rob nation's (obsolete) graphics mode queries
47 no longer reply with linefeed in secure/default mode. 202 no longer reply with linefeed in secure/default mode.
48 - ISO 8613-3 direct colour SGR sequences (patch by Fengguang Wu). 203 - ISO 8613-3 direct colour SGR sequences (patch by Fengguang Wu).
49 - xterm focus reporting mode (patch by Daniel Hahler). 204 - xterm focus reporting mode (patch by Daniel Hahler).
205 - xterm SGR mouse mode.
206 - implement DECRQM. Patch by Přemysl Eric Janouch.
207 - add missing color index parameter to OSC 4 response. Patch
208 by Přemysl Eric Janouch.
50 - in some window managers, if smart resize was enabled, urxvt 209 - in some window managers, if smart resize was enabled, urxvt

58 shows an overlay (reported by Marcel Lautenbach). 217 shows an overlay (reported by Marcel Lautenbach).
59 - the old bg image resources are now provided by the background
60 extension, and perl is thus required for bg image support. No
61 configuration change is needed: urxvt autoloads the background
62 ext if any bg image resource/option is present. The old bg image
63 resources are also now deprecated; users are encouraged to
64 switch to the new bg image interface (see man urxvt-background).
65 - expose priv_modes member and constants to perl extensions 218 - expose priv_modes member and constants to perl extensions
66 (patch by Rastislav Barlik). 219 (patch by Rastislav Barlik).
220 - fix a whole slew of const sillyness, unfortunately forced upon
221 us by ISO C++.
222 - update to libecb 0x00010006.
223 - disable all thread support in ecb.h as we presumably don't need it.
224 - slightly improve Makefile source dependencies.
225 - work around bugs in newer Pod::Xhtml versions (flags incorrect formatting codes
226 in xhtml/html sections but does not interpret correct ones).
