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
52- what font dpes urxvtr flal back ion this case? why not fixed?
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
779.31 Mon 02 Jan 2023 18:13:16 CET
78 - implement a fix for CVE-2022-4170 (reported and analyzed by David Leadbeater).
79 While present in version 9.30, it should not be exploitable. It is exploitable
80 in versions 9.25 and 9.26, at least, and allows anybody controlling output to
81 the terminal to execute arbitrary code in the urxvt process.
82 - the background extension no longer requires off focus fading support
83 to be compiled in.
84 - the confirm-paste extension now offers a choice between pasting the original
85 or a sanitized version, and also frees up memory used to store the paste text
86 immediately.
87 - fix compiling without frills.
88 - fix rewrapMode: never.
89 - fix regression that caused urxvt to no longer emit responses
90 to OSC color queries other than OSC 4 ones.
91 - fix regression that caused urxvt to no longer process OSC 705.
92 - restore CENTURY to be 1900 to "improve" year parsing in urclock (or at
93 least go back to the old interpretation) (based on an analysis
94 by Tommy Pettersson).
95 - exec_async (used e.g. by the matcher extension to spawn processes) now
96 sets the URXVT_EXT_WINDOWID variable to the window id of the terminal.
97 - implement -fps option/refreshRate resource to change the default 60 Hz
98 maximum refresh limiter. I always wanted an fps option, but had to
99 wait for a user requesting it.
100 - new clickthrough extension.
101 - perl now also requires Xext.
102 - X region and shape extension functionality has been exposed to perl
103 extensions.
104 - RENDER extension no longer depends on ENABLE_XIM_ONTHESPOT.
105
1069.30 Sat 27 Nov 2021 21:07:09 CET
107 - the background extension did not initialise properly when automatically
108 loaded via the OSC.
109 - new "on_attach" hook type implemented, to initialise late-loading
110 extensions.
111
1129.29 Mon 22 Nov 2021 18:07:14 CET
113 - libptytty (http://dist.schmorp.de/libptytty/) is now a required
114 external dependency.
115 - enable confirm-paste extension by default, can be disabled by e.g.
116 URxvt.perl-ext: -confirm-paste
117 - Key bindings specified with the -keysym option or with resources of
118 the form URxvt*keysym work again. Such resources, as opposed to
119 resources of the form URxvt.keysym, were not officially allowed but
120 accepted, so ignoring them is considered a regression.
121 - new option/resource -rm/rewrapMode, which sets the line rewrap
122 mode to auto, never or always.
123 - new option/resource -dpb/disablePasteBrackets, which can be used to
124 disable bracketed paste mode sequences, as more and more programs
125 abuse these sequences (typically in the name of security, but these
126 sequences are not improving security). Also, bracketed paste mode
127 is now under frills.
128 - add manpage for urclock.
129 - confirm-paste wrongly considered brackets as ctrlchars (patch by
130 Jakub Wilk, debian bug #995244).
131 - if urxvt cannot detect a good estimate for font width (because a font does
132 not contain latin characters at all for example), it will now fall
133 back to xft's max_advance_width, which works well with some fonts. It
134 currently will warn about this.
135 - do not render variation selectors in the default font as boxes, treat
136 them as zero-width characters.
137 - change combining character architecture to allow fonts to handle
138 combining sequences on their own. This could allow future renderers
139 to be more intelligent about these sequences.
140 - use the previous enhancement to allow unicode characters outside of the
141 BMP to be rendered even without --enable-unicode3, as long as an
142 xft with the character is configured.
143 It's recommended to stay with disabled unicode3 even more now.
144 - freetype/xft have been verified to return nonsensical offsets for
145 combining characters. urxvt tries to compensate to some extent,
146 but diacritics will be slightly off in many cases, and far off in
147 some cases (e.g. input mono).
148 - when checking for overlap/careful handling, take non-basefont
149 character shifts into account.
150 - extensions can now request autoloading on OSC and Perl OSC sequences,
151 implement this for the background, clipboard-osc and overlay-osc
152 extensions.
153 - the background extension will now be autoloaded when the OSC 20 or 705
154 sequence is received.
155 - added OSC 776 sequence to return character cell width, height and font
156 ascent, which is useful when using urxvt as slave to calculate window
157 size form or to row/column count.
158 - matcher extension documentation now points out some requirements for
159 regular expressions. the default url matching regex will now try
160 to match IRLs in addition to URLs.
161 - The view_start perl method now scrolls to the bottom also when the
162 argument is greater than 0.
163 - eval scroll actions now scroll to the bottom when scrolling down and
164 there are less lines to scroll than the ones requested (reported by
165 Stephen Talley).
166 - allow perl-ext and perl-ext-common to override autoloaded extensions.
167 this allows tabbed to disable itself in subtabs, avoiding recursive
168 loading.
169 - update precompose table to unicode 13.0.
170 - update charset conversion tables to perl 5.32 (this only affected
171 cs_koi8_u_from_unicode).
172 - unicode characters > 0x100000 were not handled correctly w.r.t.
173 font rendering.
174 - replace bitstream vera by dejavu sans, as it has replaced the former
175 almost everywhere.
176 - urxvt will now try tic -x first and only fall back to tic without -x
177 when tic -x fails.
178 - fix urclock not erasing the old date on the clock face, causing
179 overdraw, plus a host of other small fixes and improvements.
180 - shave off over 1K of code size from urclock by replacing the sine table
181 with a slightly less accurate fixed point approximation.
182 - do not specify indentation with =over in pod, this is no longer
183 needed with semi-modern pod tools and gives the formatter more
184 stylistic freedom.
185 - background extension did not set the "size-sensitive" flag
186 when repeat mode wasn't normal.
187 - extensions are now subjected to "use strict 'subs'".
188 - avoid crashing when xft successfully opens a font but then somehow
189 can't lock the face.
190 - locale_decode/encode api methods now pass through undef unchanged.
191 - fix undefined behaviour in the perl hook function, as diagnosed by clang.
192
1939.26 Fri May 14 19:14:14 CEST 2021
194 - ev_iouring.c was wrongly required during compilation, and wrongly
195 not packaged.
196
1979.25 Fri May 14 15:51:36 CEST 2021
198 - for the 17.5th anniversary, and because many distributions seem to
199 remove rxvt in favour of urxvt, this release resurrects rclock as
200 urclock.
201 - add support for systemd socket-based activation - debian bug #917105,
202 freebsd bug #234276.
203 - do not destruct perl on exit anymore: this might fail for a variety of
204 reasons, and takes unnecessary time.
205 - remove any macros from urxvtperl manpage(s), should fix debian
206 bug 858385.
207 - the old bg image resources are now provided by the background
208 extension, and perl is thus required for bg image support. No
209 configuration change is needed: urxvt autoloads the background
210 ext if any bg image resource/option is present (for OSC sequences to
211 work you need to enable it explicitly). The old bg image
212 resources are also now deprecated; users are encouraged to
213 switch to the new bg image interface (see man urxvt-background).
214 - confirm-paste now checks for any ctlchars, not just newlines.
215 - searchable scrollback will now ignore bracketed paste mode sequences
216 (prompted by Daniel Gröber's patch).
217 - drop ISO 2022 locale support. ISO 2022 encodings are not supported in
218 POSIX locales and clash with vt100 charset emulation (the luit
219 program can be used as a substitute).
220 - perl didn't parse rgba colours specified as an array correctly,
221 only allowing 0 and 100% intensity for each component (this affected
222 fill and tint).
223 - when iterating over resources, urxvt will now try to properly handle
224 multipart resources (such as "*background.expr"), for the benefit
225 of autoloading perl extensions.
226 - ESC G (query rxvt graphics mode) has been disabled due to security
227 implications. The rxvt graphics mode was removed in rxvt-unicode 1.5,
228 and no programs relying on being able to query the mode are known.
229 - work around API change breakage in perl 5.28, based on a patch by
230 Roman Bogorodskiy.
231 - improved security: rob nation's (obsolete) graphics mode queries
232 no longer reply with linefeed in secure/default mode.
233 - ISO 8613-3 direct colour SGR sequences (patch by Fengguang Wu).
234 - xterm focus reporting mode (patch by Daniel Hahler).
235 - xterm SGR mouse mode.
236 - implement DECRQM. Patch by Přemysl Eric Janouch.
237 - add missing color index parameter to OSC 4 response. Patch
238 by Přemysl Eric Janouch.
239 - in some window managers, if smart resize was enabled, urxvt
240 erroneously moved the window on font change - awesome bug
241 #532, arch linux bug ##34807 (patch by Uli Schlachter).
242 - fix urxvtd crash when using a background expression.
243 - properly restore colors when using fading and reverse video
244 is enabled while urxvt is focused and then disabled while it
245 is not focused, or vice versa (patch by Daniel Hahler).
246 - fix high memory usage when an extension repeatedly hides and
247 shows an overlay (reported by Marcel Lautenbach).
248 - expose priv_modes member and constants to perl extensions
249 (patch by Rastislav Barlik).
250 - fix a whole slew of const sillyness, unfortunately forced upon
251 us by ISO C++.
252 - update to libecb 0x00010006.
253 - disable all thread support in ecb.h as we presumably don't need it.
254 - slightly improve Makefile source dependencies.
255 - work around bugs in newer Pod::Xhtml versions (flags incorrect formatting codes
256 in xhtml/html sections but does not interpret correct ones).
257
2589.22 Sat Jan 23 21:07:33 CET 2016
259 - NOTICE: this release updates terminfo.
260 - add terminfo capabilities for various ctrl and shift-ctrl key variants
261 (patch by Sebastian Schmidt).
262 - fix longstanding core font encoding bug where some character
263 ranges could not be mapped from unicode to the font: affected
264 encodings are big5, gb2312, iso8859-8 (hebrew), jis0201 and
265 ksc5601 (reported by Mikachu).
266 - fix crash when the number of columns is 1 and a 0 width character is inserted
267 (reported by Kuang-che Wu).
268 - fix a crash when parsing an invalid color specification (reported by Kuang-che Wu).
269 - fix a buffer overflow in font name parser (reported by Kuang-che Wu).
270 - do not start blinking cursor if the window is unfocused (reported by
271 Devin J. Pohly).
272 - change the width of underline and i-beam cursor to 2 pixels (based on
273 a patch by Omar Sandoval).
274 - add pointerShape resource to change the mouse pointer shape
275 (based on a patch by Brian Watson).
276 - a keysym resource for a key which is already bound to an
277 action now properly rebinds the key.
278 - do not report mouse motion events if Shift is active (patch by Daniel Hahler).
279 - put the alpha component last in responses to OSC color queries
280 (patch by Benjamin Herr).
281 - the key_press hook is now invoked before processing the
282 event, as documented. This change was done in 9.21 but not
283 announced and fixes debian bugs #511377, #531751 and red hat
284 bug #1105069. Note that this change breaks a few scripts,
285 such as mark-yank-urls, which rely on the previous buggy
286 behaviour that urxvt processes the event (in particular
287 keysym bindings) before invoking the hook.
288 - the tabbed extension now properly refreshes the active tab
289 on a key press when the mouse pointer is outside the terminal
290 window.
291 - add 'lookup_keysym' perl method to lookup the action bound
292 to a key combination.
293 - a key combination bound to 'matcher:select' can now be used
294 to cycle through the matches in matcher.
295 - change perl integer accessors (->width et al.) into mutators.
296 - this version has been verified to work with perl 5.8.3.
297
2989.21 Wed Dec 31 14:50:03 CET 2014
299 - the "moa redraw 8-bit british vintage colour management" release.
300 - NOTICE: this release updates terminfo.
301 - fix pixel droppings on overdraw when a secondary core font has the
302 same height but different ascent.
303 - implement cvvis in terminfo as blinking cursor, to distinguish it
304 from cnorm (emacs uses cvvis which is commonly a blinking cursor).
305 - when xft support was compiled in, colour queries erroneously returned
306 premultiplied values, this also affected internal queries, for example
307 when calculating faded colour. alpha is now divided out when possible,
308 which is more correct but loses colour resolution.
309 - add DECSCUSR xterm extension to set the cursor to a vertical bar.
310 - add 'extension:string' action, and associated on_action perl
311 hook, for keysym resources that invokes actions provided by
312 perl extensions. The 'perl:string' action and
313 on_user_command hook are deprecated but still supported.
314 - add 'builtin-string' action for keysym resources that restores string
315 mappings for keys that have predefined actions in urxvt.
316 - add -k option to urxvtc for killing the daemon process.
317 - document urxvtd's -e/--eval option that was implemented in 9.16,
318 but not documented.
319 - add -dockapp option to make the wm treat urxvt as a dockapp.
320 - add -mc option and multiClickTime resource to set the maximum time
321 between multi-click select events (patch by Joe Peterson).
322 - new 'eval' extension to evaluate arbitrary perl code with keysym
323 bindings. The extension also provides methods that implement basic
324 actions, such as pasting selections and scrolling.
325 - the macosx-clipboard and macosx-clipboard-native extensions have been removed.
326 - kuake extension now uses the kuake.hotkey resource to specify the hotkey.
327 - new 'matcher:select' mode of matcher to iterate over the matches with the keyboard.
328 - the 'matcher:list' feature of matcher now honours the launcher
329 associated to a matched pattern.
330 - speed-up matcher underlining on very long lines (reported by Edward Z. Yang).
331 - fix up/down commands of searchable-scrollback so that they always move
332 to the previous/next logical line with a match, if any.
333 - searchable-scrollback resource has been deprecated (use keysym instead).
334 - extension parameter passing is deprecated (use resource mechanism instead).
335 - upgrade to GPLv3 (see COPYING).
336 - compile out of the box on Solaris 10, again.
337 - fix height and position of the stippled area in next scrollbar (patch
338 by Thomas Otto).
339 - fix off-by-one bug causing the iso14755 window not to jump out of the
340 way properly.
341 - fix crash that may happen if a lib to which urxvt is linked to calls setenv.
342 - fix memory leak in special_{encode,decode} perl methods.
343 - fix refresh bug that occurs when reverse video is set on a cell
344 containing a space and with the same bg and fg colour, red hat bug
345 #830236.
346 - fix crash that may happen if an x error is received after a terminal
347 window/popup has been destroyed already.
348 - removed superfluous 0 digit from sgr terminfo sequence.
349 - greatly improve colour allocation on colour-starved pseudocolour
350 displays to avoid read-write cells instead of simply failing
351 (this is only relevant for antique 8bpp frame buffers).
352 - do not free fade colours when not doing fading (this is likely
353 only relevant for antique 8bpp frame buffers).
354 - do not specialcase 2 or 4 colour visuals, leading to
355 simpler and actually more correct code.
356 - hopefully no longer leak colours on !truecolour visuals.
357 - use consistent method names (scr_recolour => scr_recolor).
358 - use simpler (but slightly less bogus) formula for nearest
359 colour choice (this is likely only relevant for antique 8bpp
360 frame buffers).
361 - remove fallback behaviour when initialising colours - the
362 behaviour was inconsistent between startup vs. later and
363 was only effective when valid colours couldn't be allocated.
364
3659.20 Sat Apr 26 16:22:27 CEST 2014
366 - (libptytty) fix bug that prevented urxvtd from writing utmp
367 entries when using --fork (reported by Ryan Kavanagh).
368 - security bugfix: window property values could be queried even
369 in secure mode (reported by Conor McCarthy).
370 - fix build when perl is enabled and fading is disabled.
371 - fix regression that broke continuous scrolling when pressing
372 and holding the scrollbar up or down button, gentoo bug #493992.
373 - increase the maximum length of a command sequence to 32k bytes,
374 to allow longer OSC sequences (previous limit was 2k).
375 - new Ctrl-Meta-c and Ctrl-Meta-v bindings to interact with
376 the CLIPBOARD selection.
377 - new extension: selection-to-clipboard.
378 - the extensions macosx-clipboard and macosx-clipboard-native
379 are deprecated and will be removed in the next release.
380 Support for the clipboard on OS X can be more generally
381 enabled by setting the XQuartz preference to sync the OS X
382 pasteboard and the X11 clipboard.
383
3849.19 Sun Oct 27 17:16:07 CET 2013
385 - work around perl 5.18.0 breakage in tabbed extension
386 (reported by Karol Blazewicz) and in pod (Dominic Hargreaves).
387 - fix regression that caused the double-click word selection to
388 erroneously include a tab on the left of the selected word.
389 - implement FOCUS variable and focus_fade function in background
390 expression, to allow focus-sensitive background images.
391 - add support for the set cursor style (DECSCUSR) control
392 function.
393 - honour cursorColor also when the cursor style is underline.
394 - export some Color_xxx constants to Perl.
395
3969.18 Sun Mar 24 15:33:35 CET 2013
397 - fix regression that caused artifacts on resize.
398
3999.17 Fri Mar 1 13:46:08 CET 2013
400 - add shade operator in background perl extension.
401 - avoid starting or ending the selection in the middle of wide
402 characters to avoid artifacts (reported by Tiago Resende).
403 - fix artifacts that may occur if the character in the cursor
404 cell has width > 1 (reported by Tiago Resende).
405 - fix regression that causes artifacts on scrolling if
406 saveLines is 0 and the window is resized (reported by Bert
407 Münnich).
408 - fix build when perl is enabled and pixbuf and transparency
409 are disabled.

4119.16 Thu Dec 27 11:56:43 CET 2012
412 - the "so much new stuff your eyes will pop out" release.
413 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: renamed urlLauncher resource to url-launcher.
414 - fix processing of DEC private mode save sequences (patch by Patrick
415 Hemmer).
416 - perl extensions now have their own manpages, installed as urxvt-NAME(1),
417 e.g. urxvt-background(1) - see urxvt-extensions(1) for a list.
418 - fix disabling of cursor blink with the option-popup menu (based on a
419 patch by Jan Larres).
420 - the font height is not augmented anymore when lineSpace is non zero.
421 - fix "new pagemap" vs. "delete pagemap" mismatch ([] vs. non-[]),
422 as diagnosed by clang.
423 - fix height mismatch between active and inactive cursor when
424 lineSpace is non zero (patch by Stanislav Seletskiy).
425 - make it compile with LOCAL_X_IS_UNIX again (reported by
426 nickfailure@gmail.com).
427 - completely redone background pixmap support - users can now
428 specify arbitrary expressions (And programs) that calculate
429 new terminal backgrounds. see the urxvt-background manpage
430 for details.
431 - xrender is now required for background pixmap support.
432 - perl extensions can now provide commandline switches and resources
433 which show up in -help etc.
434 - iso14755 51 mode window now displays row and column.
435 - implement a -visual switch and move that and -depth to frills, also
436 warn when we can't get the requested visual.
437 - new env variable: RXVT_PERL_LIB.
438 - allocate all screen memory in one go and let the virtual memory
439 subsystem sort it out. this simplifies code, improves access
440 locality, saves a bit of ram and makes things a bit faster, too.
441 - remove support for libafterimage.
442 - update to CVS version of libev, for a whopping 11kb size decrease.
443 - do not ship yet another copy of ecb.h, use the one in libev or
444 libptytty instead.
445 - selectively mark some methods as cache-hot/cache cold, which
446 might speed up execution but definitely decreases codesize.
447 - Fix regression that prevented the scrollbar trough color
448 from being applied (reported by Derek B. Noonburg).
449 - Fix the scrollbar size for rxvt style (patch by Mark Robinson).
450
4519.15 Sat Jan 21 13:36:56 CET 2012
452 - remove "using namespace std" because clang erroneously
453 thinks thats an error.
454 - finding a matching font (e.g. bold version of the base font)
455 was broken (reported by Eamon Walker).
456 - fix parsing of bg image styles. They really work now.
457 - fix blurring of bg image borders when using xrender.
458 - fix xrender blur on common xrender implementations that do
459 not behave correctly when the same pixmap is used as source
460 and destination in composite operations.
461 - fix regression that caused tabbed to compute the wrong size
462 for tabs.
463 - allow again an empty suffix in a keysym list spec (patch by
464 Sung Pae).
465 - unsupported support for sun studio's CC added.
466 - fix -C option on solaris.
467
4689.14 Wed Dec 21 18:40:33 CET 2011
469 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: the urxvtd default socket path is now
470 $HOME/.urxvt/urxvtd-<nodename>.
471 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: the "list" keysym expansion now requires
472 loading of the "keysym-list" perl extension.
473 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: A scale value of 0 in the bg image
474 geometry no longer enables tiling, so as to make it possible
475 to disable both scaling and tiling.
476 - overhaul of the bg image operations. The old operations have
477 been deprecated in favour of elementary operations and
478 styles built on top of the new operations and scale/position
479 settings. (Emanuele Giaquinta).
480 - support for libafterimage is deprecated and will be removed
481 in the next release.
482 - fix a crash caused by selection_check not properly resetting
483 out-of-bounds mark values (can happen when extending a selection
484 while scrolling up in curses programs for example).
485 - do not move the selection when scrolling up and the selection is
486 outside the scrolling region (Emanuele Giaquinta).
487 - fix display of bold bright black (reported by Ben Winslow).
488 - fix memory leak when urgentOnBell is set (patch by Nathaniel
489 Filardo).
490 - fix a redraw bug that occurs when a bg pixmap is set and the
491 wm does not honour the size hints set by urxvt. Now urxvt
492 forces the size of the terminal window to be a multiple of
493 the cell size.
494 - sanitise the argument of SD / SU sequences. Fixes a possible
495 crash when the argument is big enough, red hat bug #711137
496 (Emanuele Giaquinta).
497 - correctly split long lines when scrolling.
498 - urxvt now looks for perl extensions also in $HOME/.urxvt/ext.
499 - add bell-command perl extension to execute a command when a
500 bell event occurs (Ryan Kavanagh).
501 - add set_urgency perl binding to set/reset the urgency hint.
502 - consume button release event in matcher (exg).
503 - keyboard accessible list of recent matches in matcher
504 (Bob Farrell).
505 - properly process 'keysym' sequences in tabbed when using
506 'focus follows mouse' and the focus is on the main window
507 but not on the active terminal window (patch by Martin
508 Pohlack).
509 - support for the freedesktop startup-notification protocol (patch by
510 Michael Stapelberg).
511 - the direction of VPR and VPB commands was reversed.
512 - fix alignment of inherited root pixmap when it is a different size
513 than the root window and the terminal window is off the left or top
514 edge (Mikachu).
515 - make $self visible in "eval perl expression" popup action, also
516 handle exceptions better.
517 - fix parsing of '-e' when it occurs as an option argument, such as in
518 'urxvt -title -e' (Emanuele Giaquinta).
519
5209.12 Wed Jun 29 14:34:28 CEST 2011
521 - fix regression in processing of SelectionNotify events.
522 urxvt would fail to request a selection if the owner did not
523 support the UTF8_STRING target.
524 - fix rendering of double width chars in certain circumstances, more
525 likely to happen if urxvt is compiled with 256 colors support as
526 urxvt runs out of fonts much earlier then. Fixes gentoo bug #358151
527 (Emanuele Giaquinta).
528 - restore support for 'list' syntax in keysym resources (requested by Sung Pae).
529 - always premultiply colour values - while this increases differences between
530 core fonts and xft, it is "more correct" in practical situations.
531 - disable PTYTTY_REENTRANT option - not needed for urxvt and saves a bit of code.
532 - remove lucidatypewriter from the list of fallback fonts, it was the only
533 non-xft non-cellfont in the list anyway.
534
5359.11 Mon May 2 10:34:46 CEST 2011
536 - fix compilation on GNU/Hurd, debian bug #624736.
537 - remove 'list' syntax for keysym resources, as it serves no useful purpose.
538 If you need it, poke us and provide a use case.
539 - fix alpha channel support. Premultiply alpha in colours if the visual
540 supports an alpha channel, as xrender expects premultiplied alpha
541 (Emanuele Giaquinta).
542 - fix reply to a selection request sent by an obsolete client
543 such as syncterm (patch by Marcin Cieslak).
544 - fix crash when the window is resized and the overlay is active
545 (Emanuele Giaquinta, reported by Ryan Kavanagh).
546 - match character-wise rather than byte-wise in selection
547 extension again. perl 5.8.9+ is required to avoid extreme
548 slowdowns. Fixes debian bugs #523072, #616463.
549 - fix a possible crash if the INCR transfer process for a
550 selection property timeouts and at least one chunk is
551 received. (Emanuele Giaquinta)
552 - work around a memory corruption bug in xorg's XrmSetDatabase (apparently
553 broken since http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/xorg-commit-diffs/2004-March/000239.html).
554 - fix memory corruption bug when custom command sequences bound to keys
555 were injected into an already-full pty input buffer.
556 - gdk-pixbuf is autodetected by default and preferred over libafterimage.
557 - do not prepend a newline to the selection text when the starting line
558 of the selection is not highlighted (Emanuele Giaquinta).
559 - don't swap perl env with real env, save and restore it, just in case
560 we ever get recursive perl invocations. also saves a bit of codespace
561 with gcc.
562 - fix various memory leaks (Emanuele Giaquinta).
563 - fix typo in kIC terminfo capability, debian bug #446444.
564 - document 'thickness' resource.
565 - fix debian bug #504817, to the extent possible.
566 - try to detect byte order at compile time, saves a couple of
567 hundred bytes, if your compiler is smart enough.
568 - add support for previewing the pasted data in confirm-paste
569 (Emanuele Giaquinta).
570 - added "newlines to spaces" option in selection-popup.
571 - actually enabled solaris event ports backend (was disabled by accident).
572 - revert to 38400 baud max., mission accomplished.
573 - no longer create scary "pty_fill: PLEASE REPORT" message, instead,
574 silently drain the input (problem is well understood now).
575 - no longer swallow rob nation's own graphics mode commands.
576
5779.10 Mon Dec 13 17:43:52 CET 2010
578 - the "schmorp=north korea dickey=south korea" release.
579 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: make OSC 20 simpler and more correct
580 (Emanuele Giaquinta).
581 - if options were compiled out, this could lead to the option
582 count to be defined wrongly. This is likely behind the
583 failures with gcc 4.5.
584 - explicitly depend on fontconfig and xrender when xft support
585 is enabled. Although the public Xft api uses types from
586 both, in Xft 2.2.0 these libs are private
587 dependencies only thanks to an idiotic behaviour of
588 pkg-config that was added to workaround cases like this one.
589 Fixes linking when using GNU ld with --as-needed or GNU gold
590 (based on patch by Jan Palus).
591 - fix minor memory leaks in urxvt and urxvtd.
592 - fix regression in urxvtd that prevented options from being correctly
593 set (reported by Michal Vaner).
594 - implement xterm's horribly broken 1005 mouse reporting mode,
595 and an alternative 1015 mode that works in non-utf-8 locales
596 and has fewer limitations.
597 - fix a possible bug where mouse notifications didn't work after
598 startup for the upper left corner.
599 - implement our own pixbuf to pixmap rendering to get rid of
600 dependency on buggy gdk-pixbuf-xlib. Only truecolor visuals
601 are supported (Emanuele Giaquinta).
602 - apply tinting before shading when both operations are requested.
603 Previously they were intermixed when lightening and the result
604 was inaccurate and confusing. Note that now a black tint yields a
605 completely black image, regardless of shading (Emanuele Giaquinta).
606 - avoid spurious redraws of the bg image when bg is transparent or
607 when using 'root' mode (Emanuele Giaquinta).
608 - fix build on XFree86.
609 - dynamically number options according to compiletime requirements.
610 For the extra saved byte. Or so. Yay.
611 - start options at one, not zero. Wastes a bit per terminal. Maybe.
612 saves 50 instruction bytes. Possibly.
613

623 - new on_bell perl hook (Emanuele Giaquinta).
624 - searchable-scrollback no longer ignores the first line
625 (Emanuele Giaquinta).
626 - properly set VSTATUS in termios for *BSD (reported by Ed Schouten).
627 - fix utmpx detection on upcoming FreeBSD 9.
628 - Use COMPOUND_TEXT encoding for WM_NAME/WM_ICON_NAME value when it
629 is not fully convertible to STRING (patch by James Cloos).
630 - fix a buffer overflow that would cause wrong key sequences to
631 be generated for numpad keys (introduced in 9.05).
632 - fix definition of sgr0 to work around limitations in luit.
633 - extend ISO 14755 5.4 mode to also print the font name of the
634 characters other than first one in the selected cell
635 (Emanuele Giaquinta).
636 - new iso14755 option to disable ISO 14755 at runtime
637 (Emanuele Giaquinta).
638 - make sure pagewise scrolling scrolls at least one line
639 (found by Mikachu).
640 - remove deprecated OSC 18 / 19 and make OSC 17 / 19 apply to
641 highlightColor / highlightTextColor (Emanuele Giaquinta).
642 - add highlightTextColor resource to change the foreground colour of
643 highlighted characters (Emanuele Giaquinta).
644 - make highlightColor apply also to selected cells with reverse video
645 but not to non selected cells with reverse video (Emanuele Giaquinta).
646 - remove colorRV resource (it was enabled only with frills off).
647 - fix numlock handling, the most longstanding bug to date (Emanuele Giaquinta).
648 - reduce the number of custom bits to 4, to make room
649 for 256 colours.
650 - add support for 256 colors (Emanuele Giaquinta, Marc Lehmann).
651 - add rxvt-unicode-256color terminfo and use it by default in 256 colors mode.
652 - update rxvt-unicode terminfo to state 7744 colour pairs to cover all
653 88*88 possible pairs.
654 - actually added macosx-clipboard-native, which should have been in
655 the 9.07 release but had been forgotten.
656 - fix hang if DECAWM is not set and there are not enough columns to insert a
657 character (Emanuele Giaquinta).
658 - cub1 ("backspace") will now respect wrapping when past the rightmost column,
659 working around a shortcoming of most tty line discipline's line editing.
660 - add support for grabbing the clipboard selection and extend
661 selection{_clear,_grab,} perl bindings to optionally work
662 on the clipboard selection (based on patch by Dana Jansens).
663 - no longer force CERASE to BACKSPACE - use the system default. affects
664 default value for VERASE only when no compatible setting for
665 backspacekey was given.
666 - use higher than 38400 baudrate setting, if detected.
667 - erase screen would clear to the wrong background when blinking
668 was enabled (which selects high intensity under some circumstances).
669 - scr_kill_char didn't touch the line.
670 - upgrade and port to libev-4.01.
671 - enabled solaris event ports and kqueue backends (if available).
672
6739.07 Wed Dec 30 07:07:18 CET 2009
674 - port to glibc-2.10 changes (strchr etc. returning const char *
675 in C++), based on patches by Milos Jakubicek and Oliver Mader.
676 - the binary search algorithm to find precomposed characters
677 was faulty, skipping some possible combinations (found by
678 Mikachu).
679 - new -letterspace option, patch by Mark H. Wilkinson.
680 - enable --mlock option for urxvt with frills on
681 systems supporting it (patch by Russell Harmon).
682 - urxvt did not compile without frills enabled
683 (analysed by Matthew Rosewarne).
684 - correctly reset the mbstate after an illegal
685 input sequence when handling terminal output (Emanuele Giaquinta).
686 - avoid redrawing wide characters with combining enabled on every
687 refresh (reported by Mikachu).
688 - fix a typo preventing the ISO-646.1991 character set from being
689 recognized (http://achurch.org/patch-pile/).
690 - better warning for x11 font encoding detection failures, also,
691 try to deduce encoding from both font properties and name
692 (adapted from http://achurch.org/patch-pile/).
693 - resizing the window with the scrollbar disabled via the escapes
694 sequence could make the window bigger again (Mikachu).

698 - replace macosx-clipboard by a nicer version by Reza Jelveh, and move
699 the old version to macosx-clipboard-native.
700 - document the -uc option (Emanuele Giaquinta).
701 - assertions in libev are now enabled depending on frills.
702 - update AnyEvent implementation to version 5.23 API.
703 - work around arrogant bsd idiocies again: netbsd spills the default
704 namespace with lots of symbols "for gnu/gcc compatibility" even
705 though neither of them does it, and then calls the rest of the world
706 in need of fixing. go figure.
707 - on_keyboard_command is on_user_command (patch by Michael Witten).
708 - setting the selection from perl will now reset the selection screen
709 to the current screen. the screen can be manipulated using
710 the new ->selection_screen method.

724 scr_insdel_chars/ERASE (Miroslav Lichvar).
725 - fix an issue where wide tab characters caused character shifts
726 when part of them was deleted (tracked down by Miroslav Lichvar).
727 - artificially enlargen the previous character at the end of a line

741 the only known workaround.
742 - new option -icon to set _NET_WM_ICON (based on patch by Frank Schmitt).

744 to save memory in the common case of not using visual gimmicks.
745 - try to work around bugs in a few wm's that erroneously resize
746 client windows on hint property updates by temporarily
747 disabling size hints.
748 - implement the DECSTR soft reset sequence and use it for tput init,
749 and make hard RIS and DECSTR both reset more private modes, such
750 as mouse reporting.
751 - redundantly clear mouse reporting and a few other states in
752 tput init/tput reset, for older urxvts.
753 - partial/full clear screens did cause flickering and possibly pixel
754 droppings when urxvt viewed the scrollback buffer.
755 - use current rendition style in DCH sequence.
756 - the 132/80 mode switch no longer forces a screen reset.
757 - add an osc sequence to change the border colour (Emanuele Giaquinta).
