54 - implement a fix for CVE-2022-4170 (reported and analyzed by David Leadbeater).
55 While present in version 9.30, it should not be exploitable. It is exploitable
56 in versions 9.25 and 9.26, at least, and allows anybody controlling output to
57 the terminal to execute arbitrary code in the urxvt process.
58 - the background extension no longer requires off focus fading support
59 to be compiled in.
60 - the confirm-paste extension now offers a choice betwene pasting the original
61 or a sanitized version, and also frees up memory used to store the paste text
62 immediately.
63 - fix compiling without frills.
64 - fix rewrapMode: never.
65 - fix regression that caused urxvt to no longer emit responses
66 to OSC color queries other than OSC 4 ones.
67 - fix regression that caused urxvt to no longer process OSC 705.
68 - restore CENTURY to be 1900 to "improve" year parsing in urclock (or at
69 least go back to the old interpretation) (based on an analysis
70 by Tommy Pettersson).
71 - exec_async (used e.g. by the matcher extension to spawn processes) now
72 sets the URXVT_EXT_WINDOWID variable to the window id of the terminal.
73 - implement -fps option/refreshRate resource to change the default 60 Hz
74 maximum refresh limiter. I always wanted an fps option, but had to
75 wait for a user requesting it.
76 - new clickthrough extension.
77 - perl now also requires Xext.
78 - X region and shape extension functionality has been exposed to perl
79 extensions.
80 - RENDER extension no longer depends on ENABLE_XIM_ONTHESPOT.
81
829.30 Sat 27 Nov 2021 21:07:09 CET
83 - the background extension did not initialise properly when automatically
84 loaded via the OSC.
85 - new "on_attach" hook type implemented, to initialise late-loading
86 extensions.
87
889.29 Mon 22 Nov 2021 18:07:14 CET
89 - libptytty (http://dist.schmorp.de/libptytty/) is now a required
90 external dependency.
91 - enable confirm-paste extension by default, can be disabled by e.g.
92 URxvt.perl-ext: -confirm-paste
93 - Key bindings specified with the -keysym option or with resources of
94 the form URxvt*keysym work again. Such resources, as opposed to
95 resources of the form URxvt.keysym, were not officially allowed but
96 accepted, so ignoring them is considered a regression.
97 - new option/resource -rm/rewrapMode, which sets the line rewrap
98 mode to auto, never or always.
99 - new option/resource -dpb/disablePasteBrackets, which can be used to
100 disable bracketed paste mode sequences, as more and more programs
101 abuse these sequences (typically in the name of security, but these
102 sequences are not improving security). Also, bracketed paste mode
103 is now under frills.
104 - add manpage for urclock.
105 - confirm-paste wrongly considered brackets as ctrlchars (patch by
106 Jakub Wilk, debian bug #995244).
107 - if urxvt cannot detect a good estimate for font width (because a font does
108 not contain latin characters at all for example), it will now fall
109 back to xft's max_advance_width, which works well with some fonts. It
110 currently will warn about this.
111 - do not render variation selectors in the default font as boxes, treat
112 them as zero-width characters.
113 - change combining character architecture to allow fonts to handle
114 combining sequences on their own. This could allow future renderers
115 to be more intelligent about these sequences.
116 - use the previous enhancement to allow unicode characters outside of the
117 BMP to be rendered even without --enable-unicode3, as long as an
118 xft with the character is configured.
119 It's recommended to stay with disabled unicode3 even more now.
120 - freetype/xft have been verified to return nonsensical offsets for
121 combining characters. urxvt tries to compensate to some extent,
122 but diacritics will be slightly off in many cases, and far off in
123 some cases (e.g. input mono).
124 - when checking for overlap/careful handling, take non-basefont
125 character shifts into account.
126 - extensions can now request autoloading on OSC and Perl OSC sequences,
127 implement this for the background, clipboard-osc and overlay-osc
128 extensions.
129 - the background extension will now be autoloaded when the OSC 20 or 705
130 sequence is received.
131 - added OSC 776 sequence to return character cell width, height and font
132 ascent, which is useful when using urxvt as slave to calculate window
133 size form or to row/column count.
134 - matcher extension documentation now points out some requirements for
135 regular expressions. the default url matching regex will now try
136 to match IRLs in addition to URLs.
137 - The view_start perl method now scrolls to the bottom also when the
138 argument is greater than 0.
139 - eval scroll actions now scroll to the bottom when scrolling down and
140 there are less lines to scroll than the ones requested (reported by
141 Stephen Talley).
142 - allow perl-ext and perl-ext-common to override autoloaded extensions.
143 this allows tabbed to disable itself in subtabs, avoiding recursive
144 loading.
145 - update precompose table to unicode 13.0.
146 - update charset conversion tables to perl 5.32 (this only affected
147 cs_koi8_u_from_unicode).
148 - unicode characters > 0x100000 were not handled correctly w.r.t.
149 font rendering.
150 - replace bitstream vera by dejavu sans, as it has replaced the former
151 almost everywhere.
152 - urxvt will now try tic -x first and only fall back to tic without -x
153 when tic -x fails.
154 - fix urclock not erasing the old date on the clock face, causing
155 overdraw, plus a host of other small fixes and improvements.
156 - shave off over 1K of code size from urclock by replacing the sine table
157 with a slightly less accurate fixed point approximation.
158 - do not specify indentation with =over in pod, this is no longer
159 needed with semi-modern pod tools and gives the formatter more
160 stylistic freedom.
161 - background extension did not set the "size-sensitive" flag
162 when repeat mode wasn't normal.
163 - extensions are now subjected to "use strict 'subs'".
164 - avoid crashing when xft successfully opens a font but then somehow
165 can't lock the face.
166 - locale_decode/encode api methods now pass through undef unchanged.
167 - fix undefined behaviour in the perl hook function, as diagnosed by clang.
168
1699.26 Fri May 14 19:14:14 CEST 2021
170 - ev_iouring.c was wrongly required during compilation, and wrongly
171 not packaged.

1739.25 Fri May 14 15:51:36 CEST 2021
174 - for the 17.5th anniversary, and because many distributions seem to
175 remove rxvt in favour of urxvt, this release resurrects rclock as
176 urclock.
