50TODO: 08:11:16 <dg> in some cases printf "\e]50;\a" can be a crash
5108:11:50 <dg> it seems to depend a bit on setup, two in a row maybe needed

5307:28:56 <dg> schmorp: try printf '\e]50;\a\xe7\xaf\xad'
5407:29:15 <dg> i'm guessing the builtin font doesn't have that character (篭)
5507:29:40 <dg> on one machine with 9.30 that segfaults, with what looks like a null pointer deref
5607:29:58 <dg> on latest dev, but a different machine it hangs
5707:33:26 <dg> hmm, and on openbsd it doesn't even hang with that reduction, but the actual case the fuzzer
58 found does hang

61TODO: nmeum reports that when the wm resizes urxvt while it opens, the prompt is now somewhere in the middle
62of the window, rather than near the top. this behaviour change wss part of the wrapmode fix, and should normally
63prevent from readline jumping around on resizes. running urxvt with the exact geometry that the wm will assign "fixed" this.

65
66 - fix reference counting of values returned by some perl bindings.
67 - fix OSC responses with 7-bit ST (reported by Stuart Henderson).
68 - change the encoding of buttons 8-11 in mouse reporting
69 sequences to match xterm's and enable reporting of release
70 events for them (patch by Pierre-Marc Fournier).
71 - clamp coordinates in mouse reporting sequences to the number
72 of rows and columns (patch by Nick Hanley).
73 - added Alt_L/ALt_R and updated some keys in iso 14755 5.2 mode.
74 - perl 5.38 does not handle empty locale names, use "C" instead
75 (patch by sxzzsf).
76 - add emoji test character, so that emoji-only fonts can be used without
77 any tricks.
78
799.31 Mon 02 Jan 2023 18:13:16 CET
80 - implement a fix for CVE-2022-4170 (reported and analyzed by David Leadbeater).
81 While present in version 9.30, it should not be exploitable. It is exploitable
82 in versions 9.25 and 9.26, at least, and allows anybody controlling output to
83 the terminal to execute arbitrary code in the urxvt process.
84 - the background extension no longer requires off focus fading support
85 to be compiled in.
86 - the confirm-paste extension now offers a choice between pasting the original
87 or a sanitized version, and also frees up memory used to store the paste text
88 immediately.
89 - fix compiling without frills.
90 - fix rewrapMode: never.
91 - fix regression that caused urxvt to no longer emit responses
92 to OSC color queries other than OSC 4 ones.
93 - fix regression that caused urxvt to no longer process OSC 705.
94 - restore CENTURY to be 1900 to "improve" year parsing in urclock (or at
95 least go back to the old interpretation) (based on an analysis
96 by Tommy Pettersson).
97 - exec_async (used e.g. by the matcher extension to spawn processes) now
98 sets the URXVT_EXT_WINDOWID variable to the window id of the terminal.
99 - implement -fps option/refreshRate resource to change the default 60 Hz
100 maximum refresh limiter. I always wanted an fps option, but had to
101 wait for a user requesting it.
102 - new clickthrough extension.
103 - perl now also requires Xext.
104 - X region and shape extension functionality has been exposed to perl
105 extensions.
106 - RENDER extension no longer depends on ENABLE_XIM_ONTHESPOT.
107
1089.30 Sat 27 Nov 2021 21:07:09 CET
109 - the background extension did not initialise properly when automatically
110 loaded via the OSC.
111 - new "on_attach" hook type implemented, to initialise late-loading
112 extensions.
113
1149.29 Mon 22 Nov 2021 18:07:14 CET
115 - libptytty (http://dist.schmorp.de/libptytty/) is now a required
116 external dependency.
117 - enable confirm-paste extension by default, can be disabled by e.g.
118 URxvt.perl-ext: -confirm-paste
119 - Key bindings specified with the -keysym option or with resources of
120 the form URxvt*keysym work again. Such resources, as opposed to
121 resources of the form URxvt.keysym, were not officially allowed but
122 accepted, so ignoring them is considered a regression.
123 - new option/resource -rm/rewrapMode, which sets the line rewrap
124 mode to auto, never or always.
125 - new option/resource -dpb/disablePasteBrackets, which can be used to
126 disable bracketed paste mode sequences, as more and more programs
127 abuse these sequences (typically in the name of security, but these
128 sequences are not improving security). Also, bracketed paste mode
129 is now under frills.
130 - add manpage for urclock.
131 - confirm-paste wrongly considered brackets as ctrlchars (patch by
132 Jakub Wilk, debian bug #995244).
133 - if urxvt cannot detect a good estimate for font width (because a font does
134 not contain latin characters at all for example), it will now fall
135 back to xft's max_advance_width, which works well with some fonts. It
136 currently will warn about this.
137 - do not render variation selectors in the default font as boxes, treat
138 them as zero-width characters.
139 - change combining character architecture to allow fonts to handle
140 combining sequences on their own. This could allow future renderers
141 to be more intelligent about these sequences.
142 - use the previous enhancement to allow unicode characters outside of the
143 BMP to be rendered even without --enable-unicode3, as long as an
144 xft with the character is configured.
145 It's recommended to stay with disabled unicode3 even more now.
146 - freetype/xft have been verified to return nonsensical offsets for
147 combining characters. urxvt tries to compensate to some extent,
148 but diacritics will be slightly off in many cases, and far off in
149 some cases (e.g. input mono).
150 - when checking for overlap/careful handling, take non-basefont
151 character shifts into account.
152 - extensions can now request autoloading on OSC and Perl OSC sequences,
153 implement this for the background, clipboard-osc and overlay-osc
154 extensions.
155 - the background extension will now be autoloaded when the OSC 20 or 705
156 sequence is received.
157 - added OSC 776 sequence to return character cell width, height and font
158 ascent, which is useful when using urxvt as slave to calculate window
159 size form or to row/column count.
160 - matcher extension documentation now points out some requirements for
161 regular expressions. the default url matching regex will now try
162 to match IRLs in addition to URLs.
163 - The view_start perl method now scrolls to the bottom also when the
164 argument is greater than 0.
165 - eval scroll actions now scroll to the bottom when scrolling down and
166 there are less lines to scroll than the ones requested (reported by
167 Stephen Talley).
168 - allow perl-ext and perl-ext-common to override autoloaded extensions.
169 this allows tabbed to disable itself in subtabs, avoiding recursive
170 loading.
171 - update precompose table to unicode 13.0.
172 - update charset conversion tables to perl 5.32 (this only affected
173 cs_koi8_u_from_unicode).
174 - unicode characters > 0x100000 were not handled correctly w.r.t.
175 font rendering.
176 - replace bitstream vera by dejavu sans, as it has replaced the former
177 almost everywhere.
178 - urxvt will now try tic -x first and only fall back to tic without -x
179 when tic -x fails.
180 - fix urclock not erasing the old date on the clock face, causing
181 overdraw, plus a host of other small fixes and improvements.
182 - shave off over 1K of code size from urclock by replacing the sine table
183 with a slightly less accurate fixed point approximation.
184 - do not specify indentation with =over in pod, this is no longer
185 needed with semi-modern pod tools and gives the formatter more
186 stylistic freedom.
187 - background extension did not set the "size-sensitive" flag
188 when repeat mode wasn't normal.
189 - extensions are now subjected to "use strict 'subs'".
190 - avoid crashing when xft successfully opens a font but then somehow
191 can't lock the face.
192 - locale_decode/encode api methods now pass through undef unchanged.
193 - fix undefined behaviour in the perl hook function, as diagnosed by clang.
194
1959.26 Fri May 14 19:14:14 CEST 2021
196 - ev_iouring.c was wrongly required during compilation, and wrongly
197 not packaged.
198
1999.25 Fri May 14 15:51:36 CEST 2021
200 - for the 17.5th anniversary, and because many distributions seem to
201 remove rxvt in favour of urxvt, this release resurrects rclock as
202 urclock.
203 - add support for systemd socket-based activation - debian bug #917105,
204 freebsd bug #234276.
205 - do not destruct perl on exit anymore: this might fail for a variety of
206 reasons, and takes unnecessary time.
207 - remove any macros from urxvtperl manpage(s), should fix debian
208 bug 858385.
209 - the old bg image resources are now provided by the background
210 extension, and perl is thus required for bg image support. No
211 configuration change is needed: urxvt autoloads the background
212 ext if any bg image resource/option is present (for OSC sequences to
213 work you need to enable it explicitly). The old bg image
214 resources are also now deprecated; users are encouraged to
215 switch to the new bg image interface (see man urxvt-background).
216 - confirm-paste now checks for any ctlchars, not just newlines.
217 - searchable scrollback will now ignore bracketed paste mode sequences
218 (prompted by Daniel Gröber's patch).
219 - drop ISO 2022 locale support. ISO 2022 encodings are not supported in
220 POSIX locales and clash with vt100 charset emulation (the luit
221 program can be used as a substitute).
222 - perl didn't parse rgba colours specified as an array correctly,
223 only allowing 0 and 100% intensity for each component (this affected
224 fill and tint).
225 - when iterating over resources, urxvt will now try to properly handle
226 multipart resources (such as "*background.expr"), for the benefit
227 of autoloading perl extensions.
228 - ESC G (query rxvt graphics mode) has been disabled due to security
229 implications. The rxvt graphics mode was removed in rxvt-unicode 1.5,
230 and no programs relying on being able to query the mode are known.
231 - work around API change breakage in perl 5.28, based on a patch by
232 Roman Bogorodskiy.
233 - improved security: rob nation's (obsolete) graphics mode queries
234 no longer reply with linefeed in secure/default mode.
235 - ISO 8613-3 direct colour SGR sequences (patch by Fengguang Wu).
236 - xterm focus reporting mode (patch by Daniel Hahler).
237 - xterm SGR mouse mode.
238 - implement DECRQM. Patch by Přemysl Eric Janouch.
239 - add missing color index parameter to OSC 4 response. Patch
240 by Přemysl Eric Janouch.
241 - in some window managers, if smart resize was enabled, urxvt
242 erroneously moved the window on font change - awesome bug
243 #532, arch linux bug ##34807 (patch by Uli Schlachter).
244 - fix urxvtd crash when using a background expression.
245 - properly restore colors when using fading and reverse video
246 is enabled while urxvt is focused and then disabled while it
247 is not focused, or vice versa (patch by Daniel Hahler).
248 - fix high memory usage when an extension repeatedly hides and
249 shows an overlay (reported by Marcel Lautenbach).
250 - expose priv_modes member and constants to perl extensions
251 (patch by Rastislav Barlik).
252 - fix a whole slew of const sillyness, unfortunately forced upon
253 us by ISO C++.
254 - update to libecb 0x00010006.
255 - disable all thread support in ecb.h as we presumably don't need it.
256 - slightly improve Makefile source dependencies.
257 - work around bugs in newer Pod::Xhtml versions (flags incorrect formatting codes
258 in xhtml/html sections but does not interpret correct ones).
259
2609.22 Sat Jan 23 21:07:33 CET 2016
261 - NOTICE: this release updates terminfo.
262 - add terminfo capabilities for various ctrl and shift-ctrl key variants
263 (patch by Sebastian Schmidt).
264 - fix longstanding core font encoding bug where some character
265 ranges could not be mapped from unicode to the font: affected
266 encodings are big5, gb2312, iso8859-8 (hebrew), jis0201 and
267 ksc5601 (reported by Mikachu).
268 - fix crash when the number of columns is 1 and a 0 width character is inserted
269 (reported by Kuang-che Wu).
270 - fix a crash when parsing an invalid color specification (reported by Kuang-che Wu).
271 - fix a buffer overflow in font name parser (reported by Kuang-che Wu).
272 - do not start blinking cursor if the window is unfocused (reported by
273 Devin J. Pohly).
274 - change the width of underline and i-beam cursor to 2 pixels (based on
275 a patch by Omar Sandoval).
276 - add pointerShape resource to change the mouse pointer shape
277 (based on a patch by Brian Watson).
278 - a keysym resource for a key which is already bound to an
279 action now properly rebinds the key.
280 - do not report mouse motion events if Shift is active (patch by Daniel Hahler).
281 - put the alpha component last in responses to OSC color queries
282 (patch by Benjamin Herr).
283 - the key_press hook is now invoked before processing the
284 event, as documented. This change was done in 9.21 but not
285 announced and fixes debian bugs #511377, #531751 and red hat
286 bug #1105069. Note that this change breaks a few scripts,
287 such as mark-yank-urls, which rely on the previous buggy
288 behaviour that urxvt processes the event (in particular
289 keysym bindings) before invoking the hook.
290 - the tabbed extension now properly refreshes the active tab
291 on a key press when the mouse pointer is outside the terminal
292 window.
293 - add 'lookup_keysym' perl method to lookup the action bound
294 to a key combination.
295 - a key combination bound to 'matcher:select' can now be used
296 to cycle through the matches in matcher.
297 - change perl integer accessors (->width et al.) into mutators.
298 - this version has been verified to work with perl 5.8.3.
299
3009.21 Wed Dec 31 14:50:03 CET 2014
301 - the "moa redraw 8-bit british vintage colour management" release.
302 - NOTICE: this release updates terminfo.
303 - fix pixel droppings on overdraw when a secondary core font has the
304 same height but different ascent.
305 - implement cvvis in terminfo as blinking cursor, to distinguish it
306 from cnorm (emacs uses cvvis which is commonly a blinking cursor).
307 - when xft support was compiled in, colour queries erroneously returned
308 premultiplied values, this also affected internal queries, for example
309 when calculating faded colour. alpha is now divided out when possible,
310 which is more correct but loses colour resolution.
311 - add DECSCUSR xterm extension to set the cursor to a vertical bar.
312 - add 'extension:string' action, and associated on_action perl
313 hook, for keysym resources that invokes actions provided by
314 perl extensions. The 'perl:string' action and
315 on_user_command hook are deprecated but still supported.
316 - add 'builtin-string' action for keysym resources that restores string
317 mappings for keys that have predefined actions in urxvt.
318 - add -k option to urxvtc for killing the daemon process.
319 - document urxvtd's -e/--eval option that was implemented in 9.16,
320 but not documented.
321 - add -dockapp option to make the wm treat urxvt as a dockapp.
322 - add -mc option and multiClickTime resource to set the maximum time
323 between multi-click select events (patch by Joe Peterson).
324 - new 'eval' extension to evaluate arbitrary perl code with keysym
325 bindings. The extension also provides methods that implement basic
326 actions, such as pasting selections and scrolling.
327 - the macosx-clipboard and macosx-clipboard-native extensions have been removed.
328 - kuake extension now uses the kuake.hotkey resource to specify the hotkey.
329 - new 'matcher:select' mode of matcher to iterate over the matches with the keyboard.
330 - the 'matcher:list' feature of matcher now honours the launcher
331 associated to a matched pattern.
332 - speed-up matcher underlining on very long lines (reported by Edward Z. Yang).
333 - fix up/down commands of searchable-scrollback so that they always move
334 to the previous/next logical line with a match, if any.
335 - searchable-scrollback resource has been deprecated (use keysym instead).
336 - extension parameter passing is deprecated (use resource mechanism instead).
337 - upgrade to GPLv3 (see COPYING).
338 - compile out of the box on Solaris 10, again.
339 - fix height and position of the stippled area in next scrollbar (patch
340 by Thomas Otto).
341 - fix off-by-one bug causing the iso14755 window not to jump out of the
342 way properly.
343 - fix crash that may happen if a lib to which urxvt is linked to calls setenv.
344 - fix memory leak in special_{encode,decode} perl methods.
345 - fix refresh bug that occurs when reverse video is set on a cell
346 containing a space and with the same bg and fg colour, red hat bug
347 #830236.
348 - fix crash that may happen if an x error is received after a terminal
349 window/popup has been destroyed already.
350 - removed superfluous 0 digit from sgr terminfo sequence.
351 - greatly improve colour allocation on colour-starved pseudocolour
352 displays to avoid read-write cells instead of simply failing
353 (this is only relevant for antique 8bpp frame buffers).
354 - do not free fade colours when not doing fading (this is likely
355 only relevant for antique 8bpp frame buffers).
356 - do not specialcase 2 or 4 colour visuals, leading to
357 simpler and actually more correct code.
358 - hopefully no longer leak colours on !truecolour visuals.
359 - use consistent method names (scr_recolour => scr_recolor).
360 - use simpler (but slightly less bogus) formula for nearest
361 colour choice (this is likely only relevant for antique 8bpp
362 frame buffers).
363 - remove fallback behaviour when initialising colours - the
364 behaviour was inconsistent between startup vs. later and
365 was only effective when valid colours couldn't be allocated.
366
3679.20 Sat Apr 26 16:22:27 CEST 2014
368 - (libptytty) fix bug that prevented urxvtd from writing utmp
369 entries when using --fork (reported by Ryan Kavanagh).
370 - security bugfix: window property values could be queried even
371 in secure mode (reported by Conor McCarthy).
372 - fix build when perl is enabled and fading is disabled.
373 - fix regression that broke continuous scrolling when pressing
374 and holding the scrollbar up or down button, gentoo bug #493992.
375 - increase the maximum length of a command sequence to 32k bytes,
376 to allow longer OSC sequences (previous limit was 2k).
377 - new Ctrl-Meta-c and Ctrl-Meta-v bindings to interact with
378 the CLIPBOARD selection.
379 - new extension: selection-to-clipboard.
380 - the extensions macosx-clipboard and macosx-clipboard-native
381 are deprecated and will be removed in the next release.
382 Support for the clipboard on OS X can be more generally
383 enabled by setting the XQuartz preference to sync the OS X
384 pasteboard and the X11 clipboard.
385
3869.19 Sun Oct 27 17:16:07 CET 2013
387 - work around perl 5.18.0 breakage in tabbed extension
388 (reported by Karol Blazewicz) and in pod (Dominic Hargreaves).
389 - fix regression that caused the double-click word selection to
390 erroneously include a tab on the left of the selected word.
391 - implement FOCUS variable and focus_fade function in background
392 expression, to allow focus-sensitive background images.
393 - add support for the set cursor style (DECSCUSR) control
394 function.
395 - honour cursorColor also when the cursor style is underline.
396 - export some Color_xxx constants to Perl.
397
3989.18 Sun Mar 24 15:33:35 CET 2013
399 - fix regression that caused artifacts on resize.
400
4019.17 Fri Mar 1 13:46:08 CET 2013
402 - add shade operator in background perl extension.
403 - avoid starting or ending the selection in the middle of wide
404 characters to avoid artifacts (reported by Tiago Resende).
405 - fix artifacts that may occur if the character in the cursor
406 cell has width > 1 (reported by Tiago Resende).
407 - fix regression that causes artifacts on scrolling if
408 saveLines is 0 and the window is resized (reported by Bert
409 Münnich).
410 - fix build when perl is enabled and pixbuf and transparency
411 are disabled.

4139.16 Thu Dec 27 11:56:43 CET 2012
414 - the "so much new stuff your eyes will pop out" release.
415 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: renamed urlLauncher resource to url-launcher.
416 - fix processing of DEC private mode save sequences (patch by Patrick
417 Hemmer).
418 - perl extensions now have their own manpages, installed as urxvt-NAME(1),
419 e.g. urxvt-background(1) - see urxvt-extensions(1) for a list.
420 - fix disabling of cursor blink with the option-popup menu (based on a
421 patch by Jan Larres).
422 - the font height is not augmented anymore when lineSpace is non zero.
423 - fix "new pagemap" vs. "delete pagemap" mismatch ([] vs. non-[]),
424 as diagnosed by clang.
425 - fix height mismatch between active and inactive cursor when
426 lineSpace is non zero (patch by Stanislav Seletskiy).
427 - make it compile with LOCAL_X_IS_UNIX again (reported by
428 nickfailure@gmail.com).
429 - completely redone background pixmap support - users can now
430 specify arbitrary expressions (And programs) that calculate
431 new terminal backgrounds. see the urxvt-background manpage
432 for details.
433 - xrender is now required for background pixmap support.
434 - perl extensions can now provide commandline switches and resources
435 which show up in -help etc.
436 - iso14755 51 mode window now displays row and column.
437 - implement a -visual switch and move that and -depth to frills, also
438 warn when we can't get the requested visual.
439 - new env variable: RXVT_PERL_LIB.
440 - allocate all screen memory in one go and let the virtual memory
441 subsystem sort it out. this simplifies code, improves access
442 locality, saves a bit of ram and makes things a bit faster, too.
443 - remove support for libafterimage.
444 - update to CVS version of libev, for a whopping 11kb size decrease.
445 - do not ship yet another copy of ecb.h, use the one in libev or
446 libptytty instead.
447 - selectively mark some methods as cache-hot/cache cold, which
448 might speed up execution but definitely decreases codesize.
449 - Fix regression that prevented the scrollbar trough color
450 from being applied (reported by Derek B. Noonburg).
451 - Fix the scrollbar size for rxvt style (patch by Mark Robinson).
452
4539.15 Sat Jan 21 13:36:56 CET 2012
454 - remove "using namespace std" because clang erroneously
455 thinks thats an error.
456 - finding a matching font (e.g. bold version of the base font)
457 was broken (reported by Eamon Walker).
458 - fix parsing of bg image styles. They really work now.
459 - fix blurring of bg image borders when using xrender.
460 - fix xrender blur on common xrender implementations that do
461 not behave correctly when the same pixmap is used as source
462 and destination in composite operations.
463 - fix regression that caused tabbed to compute the wrong size
464 for tabs.
465 - allow again an empty suffix in a keysym list spec (patch by
466 Sung Pae).
467 - unsupported support for sun studio's CC added.
468 - fix -C option on solaris.
469
4709.14 Wed Dec 21 18:40:33 CET 2011
471 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: the urxvtd default socket path is now
472 $HOME/.urxvt/urxvtd-<nodename>.
473 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: the "list" keysym expansion now requires
474 loading of the "keysym-list" perl extension.
475 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: A scale value of 0 in the bg image
476 geometry no longer enables tiling, so as to make it possible
477 to disable both scaling and tiling.
478 - overhaul of the bg image operations. The old operations have
479 been deprecated in favour of elementary operations and
480 styles built on top of the new operations and scale/position
481 settings. (Emanuele Giaquinta).
482 - support for libafterimage is deprecated and will be removed
483 in the next release.
484 - fix a crash caused by selection_check not properly resetting
485 out-of-bounds mark values (can happen when extending a selection
486 while scrolling up in curses programs for example).
487 - do not move the selection when scrolling up and the selection is
488 outside the scrolling region (Emanuele Giaquinta).
489 - fix display of bold bright black (reported by Ben Winslow).
490 - fix memory leak when urgentOnBell is set (patch by Nathaniel
491 Filardo).
492 - fix a redraw bug that occurs when a bg pixmap is set and the
493 wm does not honour the size hints set by urxvt. Now urxvt
494 forces the size of the terminal window to be a multiple of
495 the cell size.
496 - sanitise the argument of SD / SU sequences. Fixes a possible
497 crash when the argument is big enough, red hat bug #711137
498 (Emanuele Giaquinta).
499 - correctly split long lines when scrolling.
500 - urxvt now looks for perl extensions also in $HOME/.urxvt/ext.
501 - add bell-command perl extension to execute a command when a
502 bell event occurs (Ryan Kavanagh).
503 - add set_urgency perl binding to set/reset the urgency hint.
504 - consume button release event in matcher (exg).
505 - keyboard accessible list of recent matches in matcher
506 (Bob Farrell).
507 - properly process 'keysym' sequences in tabbed when using
508 'focus follows mouse' and the focus is on the main window
509 but not on the active terminal window (patch by Martin
510 Pohlack).
511 - support for the freedesktop startup-notification protocol (patch by
512 Michael Stapelberg).
513 - the direction of VPR and VPB commands was reversed.
514 - fix alignment of inherited root pixmap when it is a different size
515 than the root window and the terminal window is off the left or top
516 edge (Mikachu).
517 - make $self visible in "eval perl expression" popup action, also
518 handle exceptions better.
519 - fix parsing of '-e' when it occurs as an option argument, such as in
520 'urxvt -title -e' (Emanuele Giaquinta).
521
5229.12 Wed Jun 29 14:34:28 CEST 2011
523 - fix regression in processing of SelectionNotify events.
524 urxvt would fail to request a selection if the owner did not
525 support the UTF8_STRING target.
526 - fix rendering of double width chars in certain circumstances, more
527 likely to happen if urxvt is compiled with 256 colors support as
528 urxvt runs out of fonts much earlier then. Fixes gentoo bug #358151
529 (Emanuele Giaquinta).
530 - restore support for 'list' syntax in keysym resources (requested by Sung Pae).
531 - always premultiply colour values - while this increases differences between
532 core fonts and xft, it is "more correct" in practical situations.
533 - disable PTYTTY_REENTRANT option - not needed for urxvt and saves a bit of code.
534 - remove lucidatypewriter from the list of fallback fonts, it was the only
535 non-xft non-cellfont in the list anyway.
536
5379.11 Mon May 2 10:34:46 CEST 2011
538 - fix compilation on GNU/Hurd, debian bug #624736.
539 - remove 'list' syntax for keysym resources, as it serves no useful purpose.
540 If you need it, poke us and provide a use case.
541 - fix alpha channel support. Premultiply alpha in colours if the visual
542 supports an alpha channel, as xrender expects premultiplied alpha
543 (Emanuele Giaquinta).
544 - fix reply to a selection request sent by an obsolete client
545 such as syncterm (patch by Marcin Cieslak).
546 - fix crash when the window is resized and the overlay is active
547 (Emanuele Giaquinta, reported by Ryan Kavanagh).
548 - match character-wise rather than byte-wise in selection
549 extension again. perl 5.8.9+ is required to avoid extreme
550 slowdowns. Fixes debian bugs #523072, #616463.
551 - fix a possible crash if the INCR transfer process for a
552 selection property timeouts and at least one chunk is
553 received. (Emanuele Giaquinta)
554 - work around a memory corruption bug in xorg's XrmSetDatabase (apparently
555 broken since http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/xorg-commit-diffs/2004-March/000239.html).
556 - fix memory corruption bug when custom command sequences bound to keys
557 were injected into an already-full pty input buffer.
558 - gdk-pixbuf is autodetected by default and preferred over libafterimage.
559 - do not prepend a newline to the selection text when the starting line
560 of the selection is not highlighted (Emanuele Giaquinta).
561 - don't swap perl env with real env, save and restore it, just in case
562 we ever get recursive perl invocations. also saves a bit of codespace
563 with gcc.
564 - fix various memory leaks (Emanuele Giaquinta).
565 - fix typo in kIC terminfo capability, debian bug #446444.
566 - document 'thickness' resource.
567 - fix debian bug #504817, to the extent possible.
568 - try to detect byte order at compile time, saves a couple of
569 hundred bytes, if your compiler is smart enough.
570 - add support for previewing the pasted data in confirm-paste
571 (Emanuele Giaquinta).
572 - added "newlines to spaces" option in selection-popup.
573 - actually enabled solaris event ports backend (was disabled by accident).
574 - revert to 38400 baud max., mission accomplished.
575 - no longer create scary "pty_fill: PLEASE REPORT" message, instead,
576 silently drain the input (problem is well understood now).
577 - no longer swallow rob nation's own graphics mode commands.
578
5799.10 Mon Dec 13 17:43:52 CET 2010
580 - the "schmorp=north korea dickey=south korea" release.
581 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: make OSC 20 simpler and more correct
582 (Emanuele Giaquinta).
583 - if options were compiled out, this could lead to the option
584 count to be defined wrongly. This is likely behind the
585 failures with gcc 4.5.
586 - explicitly depend on fontconfig and xrender when xft support
587 is enabled. Although the public Xft api uses types from
588 both, in Xft 2.2.0 these libs are private
589 dependencies only thanks to an idiotic behaviour of
590 pkg-config that was added to workaround cases like this one.
591 Fixes linking when using GNU ld with --as-needed or GNU gold
592 (based on patch by Jan Palus).
593 - fix minor memory leaks in urxvt and urxvtd.
594 - fix regression in urxvtd that prevented options from being correctly
595 set (reported by Michal Vaner).
596 - implement xterm's horribly broken 1005 mouse reporting mode,
597 and an alternative 1015 mode that works in non-utf-8 locales
598 and has fewer limitations.
599 - fix a possible bug where mouse notifications didn't work after
600 startup for the upper left corner.
601 - implement our own pixbuf to pixmap rendering to get rid of
602 dependency on buggy gdk-pixbuf-xlib. Only truecolor visuals
603 are supported (Emanuele Giaquinta).
604 - apply tinting before shading when both operations are requested.
605 Previously they were intermixed when lightening and the result
606 was inaccurate and confusing. Note that now a black tint yields a
607 completely black image, regardless of shading (Emanuele Giaquinta).
608 - avoid spurious redraws of the bg image when bg is transparent or
609 when using 'root' mode (Emanuele Giaquinta).
610 - fix build on XFree86.
611 - dynamically number options according to compiletime requirements.
612 For the extra saved byte. Or so. Yay.
613 - start options at one, not zero. Wastes a bit per terminal. Maybe.
614 saves 50 instruction bytes. Possibly.
615
6169.09 Sat Nov 13 01:39:07 CET 2010

623 - new perl extension "confirm-paste" (Emanuele Giaquinta).
624 - new on_tt_paste perl hook and tt_paste perl binding (Emanuele Giaquinta).
625 - new on_bell perl hook (Emanuele Giaquinta).
626 - searchable-scrollback no longer ignores the first line
627 (Emanuele Giaquinta).
628 - properly set VSTATUS in termios for *BSD (reported by Ed Schouten).
629 - fix utmpx detection on upcoming FreeBSD 9.
630 - Use COMPOUND_TEXT encoding for WM_NAME/WM_ICON_NAME value when it
631 is not fully convertible to STRING (patch by James Cloos).
632 - fix a buffer overflow that would cause wrong key sequences to
633 be generated for numpad keys (introduced in 9.05).
634 - fix definition of sgr0 to work around limitations in luit.
635 - extend ISO 14755 5.4 mode to also print the font name of the
636 characters other than first one in the selected cell
637 (Emanuele Giaquinta).
638 - new iso14755 option to disable ISO 14755 at runtime
639 (Emanuele Giaquinta).
640 - make sure pagewise scrolling scrolls at least one line
641 (found by Mikachu).
642 - remove deprecated OSC 18 / 19 and make OSC 17 / 19 apply to
643 highlightColor / highlightTextColor (Emanuele Giaquinta).
644 - add highlightTextColor resource to change the foreground colour of
645 highlighted characters (Emanuele Giaquinta).
646 - make highlightColor apply also to selected cells with reverse video
647 but not to non selected cells with reverse video (Emanuele Giaquinta).
648 - remove colorRV resource (it was enabled only with frills off).
649 - fix numlock handling, the most longstanding bug to date (Emanuele Giaquinta).
650 - reduce the number of custom bits to 4, to make room
651 for 256 colours.
652 - add support for 256 colors (Emanuele Giaquinta, Marc Lehmann).
653 - add rxvt-unicode-256color terminfo and use it by default in 256 colors mode.
654 - update rxvt-unicode terminfo to state 7744 colour pairs to cover all
655 88*88 possible pairs.
656 - actually added macosx-clipboard-native, which should have been in
657 the 9.07 release but had been forgotten.
658 - fix hang if DECAWM is not set and there are not enough columns to insert a
659 character (Emanuele Giaquinta).
660 - cub1 ("backspace") will now respect wrapping when past the rightmost column,
661 working around a shortcoming of most tty line discipline's line editing.
662 - add support for grabbing the clipboard selection and extend
663 selection{_clear,_grab,} perl bindings to optionally work
664 on the clipboard selection (based on patch by Dana Jansens).
665 - no longer force CERASE to BACKSPACE - use the system default. affects
666 default value for VERASE only when no compatible setting for
667 backspacekey was given.
668 - use higher than 38400 baudrate setting, if detected.
669 - erase screen would clear to the wrong background when blinking
670 was enabled (which selects high intensity under some circumstances).
671 - scr_kill_char didn't touch the line.
672 - upgrade and port to libev-4.01.
673 - enabled solaris event ports and kqueue backends (if available).
674
6759.07 Wed Dec 30 07:07:18 CET 2009
676 - port to glibc-2.10 changes (strchr etc. returning const char *
677 in C++), based on patches by Milos Jakubicek and Oliver Mader.
678 - the binary search algorithm to find precomposed characters
679 was faulty, skipping some possible combinations (found by
680 Mikachu).
681 - new -letterspace option, patch by Mark H. Wilkinson.
682 - enable --mlock option for urxvt with frills on
683 systems supporting it (patch by Russell Harmon).
684 - urxvt did not compile without frills enabled
685 (analysed by Matthew Rosewarne).
686 - correctly reset the mbstate after an illegal
687 input sequence when handling terminal output (Emanuele Giaquinta).
688 - avoid redrawing wide characters with combining enabled on every
689 refresh (reported by Mikachu).
690 - fix a typo preventing the ISO-646.1991 character set from being
691 recognized (http://achurch.org/patch-pile/).
692 - better warning for x11 font encoding detection failures, also,
693 try to deduce encoding from both font properties and name
694 (adapted from http://achurch.org/patch-pile/).
695 - resizing the window with the scrollbar disabled via the escapes
696 sequence could make the window bigger again (Mikachu).
697 - make sure the alignment for fd passing control messages
698 is correct and work around some NetBSD issues (Taylor R Campbell).
699 - update to libptytty 1.3.
700 - replace macosx-clipboard by a nicer version by Reza Jelveh, and move
701 the old version to macosx-clipboard-native.
702 - document the -uc option (Emanuele Giaquinta).
703 - assertions in libev are now enabled depending on frills.
704 - update AnyEvent implementation to version 5.23 API.
705 - work around arrogant bsd idiocies again: netbsd spills the default
706 namespace with lots of symbols "for gnu/gcc compatibility" even
707 though neither of them does it, and then calls the rest of the world
708 in need of fixing. go figure.
709 - on_keyboard_command is on_user_command (patch by Michael Witten).
710 - setting the selection from perl will now reset the selection screen
711 to the current screen. the screen can be manipulated using
712 the new ->selection_screen method.

721 - NOTICE: this release updates terminfo/termcap.
722 - updates libev to 3.48.
723 - the aterm code now frees the as visual and image manager objects
724 when a window was closed.
725 - do not (wrongly) adjust the virtual line length inside
726 scr_insdel_chars/ERASE (Miroslav Lichvar).
727 - fix an issue where wide tab characters caused character shifts
728 when part of them was deleted (tracked down by Miroslav Lichvar).
729 - artificially enlargen the previous character at the end of a line
730 when trying to output a character that doesn't fit. looks ugly, but
731 makes copy&paste work.

733 no longer apply.
734 - the urgency hint is now cleared on both focus in and focus out.
735 - cache urgency hint locally to avoid server rtt on every focus change.
736 - perl 5.10 needs PERL_SYS_INIT3 on hppa.
737 - ignore byte-order marks and do not treat them like combining characters.
738 - fix build issue when CURSOR_BLINK is not defined (Emanuele Giaquinta).
739 - do some µ-optimisations to the character fast path.
740 - use a less cunning, but more robust algorithm to avoid one terminal
741 monopolising the whole process by outputting a lot of text.
742 - try to work around linux first breaking sched_yield and now breaking
743 the only known workaround.
744 - new option -icon to set _NET_WM_ICON (based on patch by Frank Schmitt).
745 - initialise the as visual only on demand, instead of unconditionally,
746 to save memory in the common case of not using visual gimmicks.
747 - try to work around bugs in a few wm's that erroneously resize
748 client windows on hint property updates by temporarily
749 disabling size hints.
750 - implement the DECSTR soft reset sequence and use it for tput init,
751 and make hard RIS and DECSTR both reset more private modes, such
752 as mouse reporting.
753 - redundantly clear mouse reporting and a few other states in
754 tput init/tput reset, for older urxvts.
755 - partial/full clear screens did cause flickering and possibly pixel
756 droppings when urxvt viewed the scrollback buffer.
757 - use current rendition style in DCH sequence.
758 - the 132/80 mode switch no longer forces a screen reset.
759 - add an osc sequence to change the border colour (Emanuele Giaquinta).
760 - new perl extension "overlay-osc", for status displays and the like.
761 - fix some minor cursor drawing issues with overlays by allowing
762 overlays to modify screen flags (to disable the cursor themselves).
763 - work around programs not restoring rstyle before rmcup
764 (analysed by Miroslav Lichvar).
765
7669.05 Sun Jun 15 20:09:20 CEST 2008
767 - new option --cd/chdir to set the starting working directory.
768 - tabbed extension now starts in the "correct" working directory.
769 - work around fedora 9 providing isastream but not the relevant
770 header file for it (report by Tuncer Ayaz).
771 - upgrade libev, fixing a bug in the select backend.
772 with more than 31 file descriptors on non-linux 64 bit systems.
773 - correctly reset the multibyte state to the initial one
774 after EILSEQ (patch by Neil Booth). This fixes the
775 issue of rxvt-unicode not properly displaying text after an illegal
776 sequence on NetBSD and probably other systems.
777 - more intelligent property handling with -pe tabbed, works around
778 broken window managers (kwm et al.), saves bandwidth and should
779 help working window managers as well.
780 - made tabs moveable (based on a patch by Petr Machata).
781 - implement ESC [ 3 K as a more rational alternative to ESC [ 0 K.
782 - support relative paths for RXVT_SOCKET in urxvtd.
783 - the tabbed extension now blindly copies over all (rxvt-) resources
784 from the toplevel window to the children.

794
7959.01 Sat Jan 26 20:49:27 CET 2008
796 - be more aggressive about handling X events, this seems to be required
797 with newer xlibs (should fix the "screen stays black until event is
798 received" problem, again :)
799 - add buffered resource to control xft double-buffering.
800
8019.0 Fri Jan 25 19:34:04 CET 2008
802 - fix a crash bug where urxvtd would crash when urxvtc was called
803 with wrong arguments (I wish debian maintainers in general would
804 report bugs and their proposed fixes to the original package maintainers
805 instead of sitting on them for good measure to see if anybody notices).
806 - drawing xft compose characters was causing garbage to be drawn.
807 - correctly clear xft character background in all cases.
808 - implement bracketed paste mode (xterm private mode 2004).
809 - improve documentation on alpha channel handling, make urxvt
810 work better on servers lacking the RENDER extension when alpha
811 channels or background images are used.
812 - check for refresh after initialising to avoid staying blank
813 till the first event arrives. or so.
814 - the FORCE_UNBUFFERED_XFT feature macro works again.
815 - continuously update transparency while moving/resizing now.
816 - OSC 39/49 are deprecated and aliased to OSC 10/11.
817 - cub1 now acts as advertised (and ignores the "wrapped" state).
818 - the 132/80 mode switch now forces a height of 24, too, and
819 resets the terminal.
820 - scrollbar code cleanups.
821 - stopping children is no longer confused with children exiting.
822 - removed (undocumented) #aarrggbb format.
823 - updated to libev 3.0.
824
8258.9 Mon Dec 24 07:51:40 CET 2007
20 - fix the issue where urxvtd would not immediately close a window 826 - fix the issue where urxvtd would not immediately close a window
21 when the command exited but only on the next X event. 827 when the command exited but only on the next X event.
828 - changed terminfo file not to use application keypad mode.
22 - fix the issue where making a selection in one urxvtd window 829 - fix the issue where making a selection in one urxvtd window
23 would not clear it visually in another. 830 would not clear it visually in another.
24 - changed terminfo file not to use application keypad mode. 831 - fix an issue of urxvt not getting background pixmap updates
832 and flickering after bg pixmap changes (reported by Mikachu).
25 - fix redraw bug in xterm scrollbar with -sr (reported by Mikachu). 833 - fix redraw bug in xterm scrollbar with -sr (reported by Mikachu).
26 - correctly provide dependencies for libev (µikachu). 834 - correctly provide dependencies for libev (µikachu).
27 - minor code reorganisations and cleanups. 835 - minor code reorganisations and cleanups.
