39
40 - New 'eval' extension to evaluate arbitrary perl code with keysym
41 bindings. The extension also provides methods that implement basic
42 actions, such as pasting selections and scrolling.
43 - the macosx-clipboard and macosx-clipboard-native extensions have been removed.
44 - the keysym-list extension has been removed, you can use the following
45 perl one-liner to expand your existing .Xdefaults file to do without it:
46 - kuake extension now uses the kuake.hotkey resource to specify the hotkey.
47 - new 'matcher:select' mode of matcher to iterate over the matches with the keyboard.
48 - the 'matcher:list' feature of matcher now honours the launcher
49 associated to a matched pattern.
50 - fix up/down commands of searchable scrollback so that they always move
51 to the previous/next logical line with a match, if any.
52 - searchable-scrollback resource has been deprecated (use keysym instead).
53 - extension parameter passing is deprecated (use resource mechanism instead).
54 - upgrade to GPLv3 (see COPYING).
55 - Fix height and position of the stippled area in next scrollbar (patch
56 by Thomas Otto).
57
589.20 Sat Apr 26 16:22:27 CEST 2014
59 - (libptytty) fix bug that prevented urxvtd from writing utmp
60 entries when using --fork (reported by Ryan Kavanagh).
61 - security bugfix: window property values could be queried even
62 in secure mode (reported by Conor McCarthy).
63 - fix build when perl is enabled and fading is disabled.
64 - fix regression that broke continuous scrolling when pressing
65 and holding the scrollbar up or down button, gentoo bug #493992.
66 - increase the maximum length of a command sequence to 32k bytes,
67 to allow longer OSC sequences (previous limit was 2k).
68 - new Ctrl-Meta-c and Ctrl-Meta-v bindings to interact with
69 the CLIPBOARD selection.
70 - new extension: selection-to-clipboard.
71 - the extensions macosx-clipboard and macosx-clipboard-native
72 are deprecated and will be removed in the next release.
73 Support for the clipboard on OS X can be more generally
74 enabled by setting the XQuartz preference to sync the OS X
75 pasteboard and the X11 clipboard.
76
779.19 Sun Oct 27 17:16:07 CET 2013
78 - work around perl 5.18.0 breakage in tabbed extension
79 (reported by Karol Blazewicz) and in pod (Dominic Hargreaves).
80 - fix regression that caused the double-click word selection to
81 erroneously include a tab on the left of the selected word.
82 - implement FOCUS variable and focus_fade function in background
83 expression, to allow focus-sensitive background images.
84 - add support for the set cursor style (DECSCUSR) control
85 function.
86 - honour cursorColor also when the cursor style is underline.
87 - export some Color_xxx constants to Perl.
88
899.18 Sun Mar 24 15:33:35 CET 2013
90 - fix regression that caused artifacts on resize.
91
929.17 Fri Mar 1 13:46:08 CET 2013
93 - add shade operator in background perl extension.
94 - avoid starting or ending the selection in the middle of wide
95 characters to avoid artifacts (reported by Tiago Resende).
96 - fix artifacts that may occur if the character in the cursor
97 cell has width > 1 (reported by Tiago Resende).
98 - fix regression that causes artifacts on scrolling if
99 saveLines is 0 and the window is resized (reported by Bert
100 Münnich).
101 - fix build when perl is enabled and pixbuf and transparency
102 are disabled.
103
1049.16 Thu Dec 27 11:56:43 CET 2012
105 - the "so much new stuff your eyes will pop out" release.
106 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: renamed urlLauncher resource to url-launcher.
107 - fix processing of DEC private mode save sequences (patch by Patrick
108 Hemmer).
109 - perl extensions now have their own manpages, installed as urxvt-NAME(1),
110 e.g. urxvt-background(1) - see urxvt-extensions(1) for a list.
111 - fix disabling of cursor blink with the option-popup menu (based on a
112 patch by Jan Larres).
113 - the font height is not augmented anymore when lineSpace is non zero.
114 - fix "new pagemap" vs. "delete pagemap" mismatch ([] vs. non-[]),
115 as diagnosed by clang.
116 - fix height mismatch between active and inactive cursor when
117 lineSpace is non zero (patch by Stanislav Seletskiy).
118 - make it compile with LOCAL_X_IS_UNIX again (reported by
119 nickfailure@gmail.com).
120 - completely redone background pixmap support - users can now
121 specify arbitrary expressions (And programs) that calculate
122 new terminal backgrounds. see the urxvt-background manpage
123 for details.
124 - xrender is now required for background pixmap support.
125 - perl extensions can now provide commandline switches and resources
126 which show up in -help etc.
127 - iso14755 51 mode window now displays row and column.
128 - implement a -visual switch and move that and -depth to frills, also
129 warn when we can't get the requested visual.
130 - new env variable: RXVT_PERL_LIB.
131 - allocate all screen memory in one go and let the virtual memory
132 subsystem sort it out. this simplifies code, improves access
133 locality, saves a bit of ram and makes things a bit faster, too.
134 - remove support for libafterimage.
135 - update to CVS version of libev, for a whopping 11kb size decrease.
136 - do not ship yet another copy of ecb.h, use the one in libev or
137 libptytty instead.
138 - selectively mark some methods as cache-hot/cache cold, which
139 might speed up execution but definitely decreases codesize.
140 - Fix regression that prevented the scrollbar trough color
141 from being applied (reported by Derek B. Noonburg).
142 - Fix the scrollbar size for rxvt style (patch by Mark Robinson).
143
1449.15 Sat Jan 21 13:36:56 CET 2012
145 - remove "using namespace std" because clang erroneously
146 thinks thats an error.
147 - finding a matching font (e.g. bold version of the base font)
148 was broken (reported by Eamon Walker).
149 - fix parsing of bg image styles. They really work now.
150 - fix blurring of bg image borders when using xrender.
151 - fix xrender blur on common xrender implementations that do
152 not behave correctly when the same pixmap is used as source
153 and destination in composite operations.
154 - fix regression that caused tabbed to compute the wrong size
155 for tabs.
156 - allow again an empty suffix in a keysym list spec (patch by
157 Sung Pae).
158 - unsupported support for sun studio's CC added.
159 - fix -C option on solaris.
160
1619.14 Wed Dec 21 18:40:33 CET 2011
162 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: the urxvtd default socket path is now
163 $HOME/.urxvt/urxvtd-<nodename>.
164 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: the "list" keysym expansion now requires
165 loading of the "keysym-list" perl extension.
166 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: A scale value of 0 in the bg image
167 geometry no longer enables tiling, so as to make it possible
168 to disable both scaling and tiling.
169 - overhaul of the bg image operations. The old operations have
170 been deprecated in favour of elementary operations and
171 styles built on top of the new operations and scale/position
172 settings. (Emanuele Giaquinta).
173 - support for libafterimage is deprecated and will be removed
174 in the next release.
175 - fix a crash caused by selection_check not properly resetting
176 out-of-bounds mark values (can happen when extending a selection
177 while scrolling up in curses programs for example).
178 - do not move the selection when scrolling up and the selection is
179 outside the scrolling region (Emanuele Giaquinta).
180 - fix display of bold bright black (reported by Ben Winslow).
181 - fix memory leak when urgentOnBell is set (patch by Nathaniel
182 Filardo).
183 - fix a redraw bug that occurs when a bg pixmap is set and the
184 wm does not honour the size hints set by urxvt. Now urxvt
185 forces the size of the terminal window to be a multiple of
186 the cell size.
187 - sanitise the argument of SD / SU sequences. Fixes a possible
188 crash when the argument is big enough, red hat bug #711137
189 (Emanuele Giaquinta).
190 - correctly split long lines when scrolling.
191 - urxvt now looks for perl extensions also in $HOME/.urxvt/ext.
192 - add bell-command perl extension to execute a command when a
193 bell event occurs (Ryan Kavanagh).
194 - add set_urgency perl binding to set/reset the urgency hint.
195 - consume button release event in matcher (exg).
196 - keyboard accessible list of recent matches in matcher
197 (Bob Farrell).
198 - properly process 'keysym' sequences in tabbed when using
199 'focus follows mouse' and the focus is on the main window
200 but not on the active terminal window (patch by Martin
201 Pohlack).
202 - support for the freedesktop startup-notification protocol (patch by
203 Michael Stapelberg).
204 - the direction of VPR and VPB commands was reversed.
205 - fix alignment of inherited root pixmap when it is a different size
206 than the root window and the terminal window is off the left or top
207 edge (Mikachu).
208 - make $self visible in "eval perl expression" popup action, also
209 handle exceptions better.
210 - fix parsing of '-e' when it occurs as an option argument, such as in
211 'urxvt -title -e' (Emanuele Giaquinta).
212
2139.12 Wed Jun 29 14:34:28 CEST 2011
214 - fix regression in processing of SelectionNotify events.
215 urxvt would fail to request a selection if the owner did not
216 support the UTF8_STRING target.
217 - fix rendering of double width chars in certain circumstances, more
218 likely to happen if urxvt is compiled with 256 colors support as
219 urxvt runs out of fonts much earlier then. Fixes gentoo bug #358151
220 (Emanuele Giaquinta).
221 - restore support for 'list' syntax in keysym resources (requested by Sung Pae).
222 - always premultiply colour values - while this increases differences between
223 core fonts and xft, it is "more correct" in practical situations.
224 - disable PTYTTY_REENTRANT option - not needed for urxvt and saves a bit of code.
225 - remove lucidatypewriter from the list of fallback fonts, it was the only
226 non-xft non-cellfont in the list anyway.
227
2289.11 Mon May 2 10:34:46 CEST 2011
229 - fix compilation on GNU/Hurd, debian bug #624736.
230 - remove 'list' syntax for keysym resources, as it serves no useful purpose.
231 If you need it, poke us and provide a use case.
232 - fix alpha channel support. Premultiply alpha in colours if the visual
233 supports an alpha channel, as xrender expects premultiplied alpha
234 (Emanuele Giaquinta).
235 - fix reply to a selection request sent by an obsolete client
236 such as syncterm (patch by Marcin Cieslak).
237 - fix crash when the window is resized and the overlay is active
238 (Emanuele Giaquinta, reported by Ryan Kavanagh).
239 - match character-wise rather than byte-wise in selection
240 extension again. perl 5.8.9+ is required to avoid extreme
241 slowdowns. Fixes debian bugs #523072, #616463.
242 - fix a possible crash if the INCR transfer process for a
243 selection property timeouts and at least one chunk is
244 received. (Emanuele Giaquinta)
245 - work around a memory corruption bug in xorg's XrmSetDatabase (apparently
246 broken since http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/xorg-commit-diffs/2004-March/000239.html).
247 - fix memory corruption bug when custom command sequences bound to keys
248 were injected into an already-full pty input buffer.
249 - gdk-pixbuf is autodetected by default and preferred over libafterimage.
250 - do not prepend a newline to the selection text when the starting line
251 of the selection is not highlighted (Emanuele Giaquinta).
252 - don't swap perl env with real env, save and restore it, just in case
253 we ever get recursive perl invocations. also saves a bit of codespace
254 with gcc.
255 - fix various memory leaks (Emanuele Giaquinta).
256 - fix typo in kIC terminfo capability, debian bug #446444.
257 - document 'thickness' resource.
258 - fix debian bug #504817, to the extent possible.
259 - try to detect byte order at compile time, saves a couple of
260 hundred bytes, if your compiler is smart enough.
261 - add support for previewing the pasted data in confirm-paste
262 (Emanuele Giaquinta).
263 - added "newlines to spaces" option in selection-popup.
264 - actually enabled solaris event ports backend (was disabled by accident).
265 - revert to 38400 baud max., mission accomplished.
266 - no longer create scary "pty_fill: PLEASE REPORT" message, instead,
267 silently drain the input (problem is well understood now).
268 - no longer swallow rob nation's own graphics mode commands.
269
2709.10 Mon Dec 13 17:43:52 CET 2010
271 - the "schmorp=north korea dickey=south korea" release.
272 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: make OSC 20 simpler and more correct
273 (Emanuele Giaquinta).
274 - if options were compiled out, this could lead to the option
275 count to be defined wrongly. This is likely behind the
276 failures with gcc 4.5.
277 - explicitly depend on fontconfig and xrender when xft support
278 is enabled. Although the public Xft api uses types from
279 both, in Xft 2.2.0 these libs are private
280 dependencies only thanks to an idiotic behaviour of
281 pkg-config that was added to workaround cases like this one.
282 Fixes linking when using GNU ld with --as-needed or GNU gold
283 (based on patch by Jan Palus).
284 - fix minor memory leaks in urxvt and urxvtd.
285 - fix regression in urxvtd that prevented options from being correctly
286 set (reported by Michal Vaner).
287 - implement xterm's horribly broken 1005 mouse reporting mode,
288 and an alternative 1015 mode that works in non-utf-8 locales
289 and has fewer limitations.
290 - fix a possible bug where mouse notifications didn't work after
291 startup for the upper left corner.
292 - implement our own pixbuf to pixmap rendering to get rid of
293 dependency on buggy gdk-pixbuf-xlib. Only truecolor visuals
294 are supported (Emanuele Giaquinta).
295 - apply tinting before shading when both operations are requested.
296 Previously they were intermixed when lightening and the result
297 was inaccurate and confusing. Note that now a black tint yields a
298 completely black image, regardless of shading (Emanuele Giaquinta).
299 - avoid spurious redraws of the bg image when bg is transparent or
300 when using 'root' mode (Emanuele Giaquinta).
301 - fix build on XFree86.
302 - dynamically number options according to compiletime requirements.
303 For the extra saved byte. Or so. Yay.
304 - start options at one, not zero. Wastes a bit per terminal. Maybe.
305 saves 50 instruction bytes. Possibly.
306
3079.09 Sat Nov 13 01:39:07 CET 2010
308 - NOTICE: this release updates terminfo/termcap.
309 - the bestest release ever.
310 - it was verified that urxvt handles µ and μ correctly.
311 - add support for blending and blurring with XRender (Emanuele Giaquinta).
312 - add support for using gdk-pixbuf as image backend (Emanuele Giaquinta).
313 - cleanup and minor fixes of the image code (Emanuele Giaquinta).
314 - new perl extension "confirm-paste" (Emanuele Giaquinta).
315 - new on_tt_paste perl hook and tt_paste perl binding (Emanuele Giaquinta).
316 - new on_bell perl hook (Emanuele Giaquinta).
317 - searchable-scrollback no longer ignores the first line
318 (Emanuele Giaquinta).
319 - properly set VSTATUS in termios for *BSD (reported by Ed Schouten).
320 - fix utmpx detection on upcoming FreeBSD 9.
321 - Use COMPOUND_TEXT encoding for WM_NAME/WM_ICON_NAME value when it
322 is not fully convertible to STRING (patch by James Cloos).
323 - fix a buffer overflow that would cause wrong key sequences to
324 be generated for numpad keys (introduced in 9.05).
325 - fix definition of sgr0 to work around limitations in luit.
326 - extend ISO 14755 5.4 mode to also print the font name of the
327 characters other than first one in the selected cell
328 (Emanuele Giaquinta).
329 - new iso14755 option to disable ISO 14755 at runtime
330 (Emanuele Giaquinta).
331 - make sure pagewise scrolling scrolls at least one line
332 (found by Mikachu).
333 - remove deprecated OSC 18 / 19 and make OSC 17 / 19 apply to
334 highlightColor / highlightTextColor (Emanuele Giaquinta).
335 - add highlightTextColor resource to change the foreground colour of
336 highlighted characters (Emanuele Giaquinta).
337 - make highlightColor apply also to selected cells with reverse video
338 but not to non selected cells with reverse video (Emanuele Giaquinta).
339 - remove colorRV resource (it was enabled only with frills off).
340 - fix numlock handling, the most longstanding bug to date (Emanuele Giaquinta).
341 - reduce the number of custom bits to 4, to make room
342 for 256 colours.
343 - add support for 256 colors (Emanuele Giaquinta, Marc Lehmann).
344 - add rxvt-unicode-256color terminfo and use it by default in 256 colors mode.
345 - update rxvt-unicode terminfo to state 7744 colour pairs to cover all
346 88*88 possible pairs.
347 - actually added macosx-clipboard-native, which should have been in
348 the 9.07 release but had been forgotten.
349 - fix hang if DECAWM is not set and there are not enough columns to insert a
350 character (Emanuele Giaquinta).
351 - cub1 ("backspace") will now respect wrapping when past the rightmost column,
352 working around a shortcoming of most tty line discipline's line editing.
353 - add support for grabbing the clipboard selection and extend
354 selection{_clear,_grab,} perl bindings to optionally work
355 on the clipboard selection (based on patch by Dana Jansens).
356 - no longer force CERASE to BACKSPACE - use the system default. affects
357 default value for VERASE only when no compatible setting for
358 backspacekey was given.
359 - use higher than 38400 baudrate setting, if detected.
360 - erase screen would clear to the wrong background when blinking
361 was enabled (which selects high intensity under some circumstances).
362 - scr_kill_char didn't touch the line.
363 - upgrade and port to libev-4.01.
364 - enabled solaris event ports and kqueue backends (if available).
365
3669.07 Wed Dec 30 07:07:18 CET 2009
367 - port to glibc-2.10 changes (strchr etc. returning const char *
368 in C++), based on patches by Milos Jakubicek and Oliver Mader.
369 - the binary search algorithm to find precomposed characters
370 was faulty, skipping some possible combinations (found by
371 Mikachu).
372 - new -letterspace option, patch by Mark H. Wilkinson.
373 - enable --mlock option for urxvt with frills on
374 systems supporting it (patch by Russell Harmon).
375 - urxvt did not compile without frills enabled
376 (analysed by Matthew Rosewarne).
377 - correctly reset the mbstate after an illegal
378 input sequence when handling terminal output (Emanuele Giaquinta).
379 - avoid redrawing wide characters with combining enabled on every
380 refresh (reported by Mikachu).
381 - fix a typo preventing the ISO-646.1991 character set from being
382 recognized (http://achurch.org/patch-pile/).
383 - better warning for x11 font encoding detection failures, also,
384 try to deduce encoding from both font properties and name
385 (adapted from http://achurch.org/patch-pile/).
386 - resizing the window with the scrollbar disabled via the escapes
387 sequence could make the window bigger again (Mikachu).
388 - make sure the alignment for fd passing control messages
389 is correct and work around some NetBSD issues (Taylor R Campbell).
390 - update to libptytty 1.3.
391 - replace macosx-clipboard by a nicer version by Reza Jelveh, and move
392 the old version to macosx-clipboard-native.
393 - document the -uc option (Emanuele Giaquinta).
394 - assertions in libev are now enabled depending on frills.
395 - update AnyEvent implementation to version 5.23 API.
396 - work around arrogant bsd idiocies again: netbsd spills the default
397 namespace with lots of symbols "for gnu/gcc compatibility" even
398 though neither of them does it, and then calls the rest of the world
399 in need of fixing. go figure.
400 - on_keyboard_command is on_user_command (patch by Michael Witten).
401 - setting the selection from perl will now reset the selection screen
402 to the current screen. the screen can be manipulated using
403 the new ->selection_screen method.
404 - implement --enable-assert configure option and get rid of DEBUG_STRICT
405 (based on patch by Emanuele Giaquinta).
406 - fix printpipe data output (patch by Emanuele Giaquinta).
407 - allow `xxx' quoting style for perl selection.
408 - upgrade to libev-3.9 prerelease.
409 - updated compose tables to unicode 5.2.0.
410
4119.06 Sat Nov 8 17:47:18 CET 2008
412 - NOTICE: this release updates terminfo/termcap.
413 - updates libev to 3.48.
414 - the aterm code now frees the as visual and image manager objects
415 when a window was closed.
416 - do not (wrongly) adjust the virtual line length inside
417 scr_insdel_chars/ERASE (Miroslav Lichvar).
418 - fix an issue where wide tab characters caused character shifts
419 when part of them was deleted (tracked down by Miroslav Lichvar).
420 - artificially enlargen the previous character at the end of a line
421 when trying to output a character that doesn't fit. looks ugly, but
422 makes copy&paste work.
423 - remove bogus "setuid/setgid security issues" from rxvt.1.pod, they
424 no longer apply.
425 - the urgency hint is now cleared on both focus in and focus out.
426 - cache urgency hint locally to avoid server rtt on every focus change.
427 - perl 5.10 needs PERL_SYS_INIT3 on hppa.
428 - ignore byte-order marks and do not treat them like combining characters.
429 - fix build issue when CURSOR_BLINK is not defined (Emanuele Giaquinta).

431 - use a less cunning, but more robust algorithm to avoid one terminal
432 monopolising the whole process by outputting a lot of text.
433 - try to work around linux first breaking sched_yield and now breaking
434 the only known workaround.
435 - new option -icon to set _NET_WM_ICON (based on patch by Frank Schmitt).

439 client windows on hint property updates by temporarily
440 disabling size hints.
441 - implement the DECSTR soft reset sequence and use it for tput init,
442 and make hard RIS and DECSTR both reset more private modes, such
443 as mouse reporting.
444 - redundantly clear mouse reporting and a few other states in
445 tput init/tput reset, for older urxvts.
446 - partial/full clear screens did cause flickering and possibly pixel
447 droppings when urxvt viewed the scrollback buffer.
448 - use current rendition style in DCH sequence.
449 - the 132/80 mode switch no longer forces a screen reset.

463 with more than 31 file descriptors on non-linux 64 bit systems.
464 - correctly reset the multibyte state to the initial one

485
4869.01 Sat Jan 26 20:49:27 CET 2008
487 - be more aggressive about handling X events, this seems to be required
488 with newer xlibs (should fix the "screen stays black until event is

491
4929.0 Fri Jan 25 19:34:04 CET 2008
493 - fix a crash bug where urxvtd would crash when urxvtc was called
494 with wrong arguments (I wish debian maintainers in general would
495 report bugs and their proposed fixes to the original package maintainers

497 - drawing xft compose characters was causing garbage to be drawn.
498 - correctly clear xft character background in all cases.
499 - implement bracketed paste mode (xterm private mode 2004).

506 - continuously update transparency while moving/resizing now.
507 - OSC 39/49 are deprecated and aliased to OSC 10/11.
508 - cub1 now acts as advertised (and ignores the "wrapped" state).

510 resets the terminal.
511 - scrollbar code cleanups.
512 - stopping children is no longer confused with children exiting.
513 - removed (undocumented) #aarrggbb format.
514 - updated to libev 3.0.
515
5168.9 Mon Dec 24 07:51:40 CET 2007
517 - fix the issue where urxvtd would not immediately close a window
518 when the command exited but only on the next X event.

523 and flickering after bg pixmap changes (reported by Mikachu).
524 - fix redraw bug in xterm scrollbar with -sr (reported by Mikachu).

531 options that shouldn't be compiled in, leading to interesting
532 effects.

534 symptom of urxvt not closing its window on shell exit. also
535 fixes a problem with urxvt not refreshing.
536 - the text blink callback was called even when no blinking
537 text was visible.
538 - pre-8.4 slipwheeling behaviour has been reinstated, with
539 some minor improvements.
540 - streamlined x events processing to only flush once per
541 display and not once per terminal window.
542 - quite a bit of minor code cleanups and codesize optimisations.
543
5448.7 Sun Nov 25 10:23:49 CET 2007
545 - update libev with an important bugfix that would cause crashes
546 when closing windows (when using rxvtd, and update is recommended).
547 - do not compile in the block builtin graphics with --disable-frills.
548
5498.6 Fri Nov 23 14:10:57 CET 2007
550 - upgrade libev to disable kqueue on anything but netbsd as it
551 seems to be broken everywhere else w.r.t. ptys.
552 - allow for spurious event notifications, as at least epoll and

554 urxvt "hangs" until there is some x11 related activity).
555 - -keysym command line options are now subjected to xlib parsing.
556 - add 'xrm' option analogous to Xt one.

566 - fix memory leak in pixmap code.
567 - fix a serious bug while setting the XIM destroy callback
568 on (typical) 64 bit systems.
569 - automove-background functionality re-implemented internally using :root op in pixmap
570 geometry string. For example: rxvt -pixmap "image.jpg;:root"
571 - do not link rxvtc against every lib on the planet anymore.
572 - parallel builds should work once more.

601 extension (tpope).
602 - compile out of the box on Solaris 10 (exg).
603 - fix MappingNotify events (reported by Stephan Walter).

613 (found by Aiviru).
614 - disabled linux kernel bug workaround again: disabling it gives

632 - when !XFT, change rounding of colours to use a less correct formula to
633 meet user expectancies (#aaa becomes #a000a000a000 not #9f9f9f9f9f9f).
634 - change the starting offset of the pixmap set with backgroundPixmap
635 from (50,50) to (0,0) (exg).
