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
5907:34:02 <dg> curl -o - dg.cx/f12-afl-urxvt-id0-src517.txt

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 memory leak when a background expression uses the muladd
67 or focus_fade operators (reported by Erik-Jan).
68 - fix reference counting of values returned by some perl bindings.
69 - fix OSC responses with 7-bit ST (reported by Stuart Henderson).
70 - change the encoding of buttons 8-11 in mouse reporting
71 sequences to match xterm's and enable reporting of release
72 events for them (patch by Pierre-Marc Fournier).
73 - clamp coordinates in mouse reporting sequences to the number
74 of rows and columns (patch by Nick Hanley).
75 - added Alt_L/ALt_R and updated some keys in iso 14755 5.2 mode.
76 - perl 5.38 does not handle empty locale names, use "C" instead
77 (patch by sxzzsf).
78 - add emoji test character, so that emoji-only fonts can be used without
79 any tricks.
80
819.31 Mon 02 Jan 2023 18:13:16 CET
82 - implement a fix for CVE-2022-4170 (reported and analyzed by David Leadbeater).
83 While present in version 9.30, it should not be exploitable. It is exploitable
84 in versions 9.25 and 9.26, at least, and allows anybody controlling output to
85 the terminal to execute arbitrary code in the urxvt process.
86 - the background extension no longer requires off focus fading support
87 to be compiled in.
88 - the confirm-paste extension now offers a choice between pasting the original
89 or a sanitized version, and also frees up memory used to store the paste text
90 immediately.
91 - fix compiling without frills.
92 - fix rewrapMode: never.
93 - fix regression that caused urxvt to no longer emit responses
94 to OSC color queries other than OSC 4 ones.
95 - fix regression that caused urxvt to no longer process OSC 705.
96 - restore CENTURY to be 1900 to "improve" year parsing in urclock (or at
97 least go back to the old interpretation) (based on an analysis
98 by Tommy Pettersson).
99 - exec_async (used e.g. by the matcher extension to spawn processes) now
100 sets the URXVT_EXT_WINDOWID variable to the window id of the terminal.
101 - implement -fps option/refreshRate resource to change the default 60 Hz
102 maximum refresh limiter. I always wanted an fps option, but had to
103 wait for a user requesting it.
104 - new clickthrough extension.
105 - perl now also requires Xext.
106 - X region and shape extension functionality has been exposed to perl
107 extensions.
108 - RENDER extension no longer depends on ENABLE_XIM_ONTHESPOT.
109
1109.30 Sat 27 Nov 2021 21:07:09 CET
111 - the background extension did not initialise properly when automatically
112 loaded via the OSC.
113 - new "on_attach" hook type implemented, to initialise late-loading
114 extensions.
115
1169.29 Mon 22 Nov 2021 18:07:14 CET
117 - libptytty (http://dist.schmorp.de/libptytty/) is now a required
118 external dependency.
119 - enable confirm-paste extension by default, can be disabled by e.g.
120 URxvt.perl-ext: -confirm-paste
121 - Key bindings specified with the -keysym option or with resources of
122 the form URxvt*keysym work again. Such resources, as opposed to
123 resources of the form URxvt.keysym, were not officially allowed but
124 accepted, so ignoring them is considered a regression.
125 - new option/resource -rm/rewrapMode, which sets the line rewrap
126 mode to auto, never or always.
127 - new option/resource -dpb/disablePasteBrackets, which can be used to
128 disable bracketed paste mode sequences, as more and more programs
129 abuse these sequences (typically in the name of security, but these
130 sequences are not improving security). Also, bracketed paste mode
131 is now under frills.
132 - add manpage for urclock.
133 - confirm-paste wrongly considered brackets as ctrlchars (patch by
134 Jakub Wilk, debian bug #995244).
135 - if urxvt cannot detect a good estimate for font width (because a font does
136 not contain latin characters at all for example), it will now fall
137 back to xft's max_advance_width, which works well with some fonts. It
138 currently will warn about this.
139 - do not render variation selectors in the default font as boxes, treat
140 them as zero-width characters.
141 - change combining character architecture to allow fonts to handle
142 combining sequences on their own. This could allow future renderers
143 to be more intelligent about these sequences.
144 - use the previous enhancement to allow unicode characters outside of the
145 BMP to be rendered even without --enable-unicode3, as long as an
146 xft with the character is configured.
147 It's recommended to stay with disabled unicode3 even more now.
148 - freetype/xft have been verified to return nonsensical offsets for
149 combining characters. urxvt tries to compensate to some extent,
150 but diacritics will be slightly off in many cases, and far off in
151 some cases (e.g. input mono).
152 - when checking for overlap/careful handling, take non-basefont
153 character shifts into account.
154 - extensions can now request autoloading on OSC and Perl OSC sequences,
155 implement this for the background, clipboard-osc and overlay-osc
156 extensions.
157 - the background extension will now be autoloaded when the OSC 20 or 705
158 sequence is received.
159 - added OSC 776 sequence to return character cell width, height and font
160 ascent, which is useful when using urxvt as slave to calculate window
161 size form or to row/column count.
162 - matcher extension documentation now points out some requirements for
163 regular expressions. the default url matching regex will now try
164 to match IRLs in addition to URLs.
165 - The view_start perl method now scrolls to the bottom also when the
166 argument is greater than 0.
167 - eval scroll actions now scroll to the bottom when scrolling down and
168 there are less lines to scroll than the ones requested (reported by
169 Stephen Talley).
170 - allow perl-ext and perl-ext-common to override autoloaded extensions.
171 this allows tabbed to disable itself in subtabs, avoiding recursive
172 loading.
173 - update precompose table to unicode 13.0.
174 - update charset conversion tables to perl 5.32 (this only affected
175 cs_koi8_u_from_unicode).
176 - unicode characters > 0x100000 were not handled correctly w.r.t.
177 font rendering.
178 - replace bitstream vera by dejavu sans, as it has replaced the former
179 almost everywhere.
180 - urxvt will now try tic -x first and only fall back to tic without -x
181 when tic -x fails.
182 - fix urclock not erasing the old date on the clock face, causing
183 overdraw, plus a host of other small fixes and improvements.
184 - shave off over 1K of code size from urclock by replacing the sine table
185 with a slightly less accurate fixed point approximation.
186 - do not specify indentation with =over in pod, this is no longer
187 needed with semi-modern pod tools and gives the formatter more
188 stylistic freedom.
189 - background extension did not set the "size-sensitive" flag
190 when repeat mode wasn't normal.
191 - extensions are now subjected to "use strict 'subs'".
192 - avoid crashing when xft successfully opens a font but then somehow
193 can't lock the face.
194 - locale_decode/encode api methods now pass through undef unchanged.
195 - fix undefined behaviour in the perl hook function, as diagnosed by clang.
196
1979.26 Fri May 14 19:14:14 CEST 2021
198 - ev_iouring.c was wrongly required during compilation, and wrongly
199 not packaged.
200
2019.25 Fri May 14 15:51:36 CEST 2021
202 - for the 17.5th anniversary, and because many distributions seem to
203 remove rxvt in favour of urxvt, this release resurrects rclock as
204 urclock.
205 - add support for systemd socket-based activation - debian bug #917105,
206 freebsd bug #234276.
207 - do not destruct perl on exit anymore: this might fail for a variety of
208 reasons, and takes unnecessary time.
209 - remove any macros from urxvtperl manpage(s), should fix debian
210 bug 858385.
211 - the old bg image resources are now provided by the background
212 extension, and perl is thus required for bg image support. No
213 configuration change is needed: urxvt autoloads the background
214 ext if any bg image resource/option is present (for OSC sequences to
215 work you need to enable it explicitly). The old bg image
216 resources are also now deprecated; users are encouraged to
217 switch to the new bg image interface (see man urxvt-background).
218 - confirm-paste now checks for any ctlchars, not just newlines.
219 - searchable scrollback will now ignore bracketed paste mode sequences
220 (prompted by Daniel Gröber's patch).
221 - drop ISO 2022 locale support. ISO 2022 encodings are not supported in
222 POSIX locales and clash with vt100 charset emulation (the luit
223 program can be used as a substitute).
224 - perl didn't parse rgba colours specified as an array correctly,
225 only allowing 0 and 100% intensity for each component (this affected
226 fill and tint).
227 - when iterating over resources, urxvt will now try to properly handle
228 multipart resources (such as "*background.expr"), for the benefit
229 of autoloading perl extensions.
230 - ESC G (query rxvt graphics mode) has been disabled due to security
231 implications. The rxvt graphics mode was removed in rxvt-unicode 1.5,
232 and no programs relying on being able to query the mode are known.
233 - work around API change breakage in perl 5.28, based on a patch by
234 Roman Bogorodskiy.
235 - improved security: rob nation's (obsolete) graphics mode queries
236 no longer reply with linefeed in secure/default mode.
237 - ISO 8613-3 direct colour SGR sequences (patch by Fengguang Wu).
238 - xterm focus reporting mode (patch by Daniel Hahler).
239 - xterm SGR mouse mode.
240 - implement DECRQM. Patch by Přemysl Eric Janouch.
241 - add missing color index parameter to OSC 4 response. Patch
242 by Přemysl Eric Janouch.
243 - in some window managers, if smart resize was enabled, urxvt
244 erroneously moved the window on font change - awesome bug
245 #532, arch linux bug ##34807 (patch by Uli Schlachter).
246 - fix urxvtd crash when using a background expression.
247 - properly restore colors when using fading and reverse video
248 is enabled while urxvt is focused and then disabled while it
249 is not focused, or vice versa (patch by Daniel Hahler).
250 - fix high memory usage when an extension repeatedly hides and
251 shows an overlay (reported by Marcel Lautenbach).
252 - expose priv_modes member and constants to perl extensions
253 (patch by Rastislav Barlik).
254 - fix a whole slew of const sillyness, unfortunately forced upon
255 us by ISO C++.
256 - update to libecb 0x00010006.
257 - disable all thread support in ecb.h as we presumably don't need it.
258 - slightly improve Makefile source dependencies.
259 - work around bugs in newer Pod::Xhtml versions (flags incorrect formatting codes
260 in xhtml/html sections but does not interpret correct ones).
261
2629.22 Sat Jan 23 21:07:33 CET 2016
263 - NOTICE: this release updates terminfo.
264 - add terminfo capabilities for various ctrl and shift-ctrl key variants
265 (patch by Sebastian Schmidt).
266 - fix longstanding core font encoding bug where some character
267 ranges could not be mapped from unicode to the font: affected
268 encodings are big5, gb2312, iso8859-8 (hebrew), jis0201 and
269 ksc5601 (reported by Mikachu).
270 - fix crash when the number of columns is 1 and a 0 width character is inserted
271 (reported by Kuang-che Wu).
272 - fix a crash when parsing an invalid color specification (reported by Kuang-che Wu).
273 - fix a buffer overflow in font name parser (reported by Kuang-che Wu).
274 - do not start blinking cursor if the window is unfocused (reported by
275 Devin J. Pohly).
276 - change the width of underline and i-beam cursor to 2 pixels (based on
277 a patch by Omar Sandoval).
278 - add pointerShape resource to change the mouse pointer shape
279 (based on a patch by Brian Watson).
280 - a keysym resource for a key which is already bound to an
281 action now properly rebinds the key.
282 - do not report mouse motion events if Shift is active (patch by Daniel Hahler).
283 - put the alpha component last in responses to OSC color queries
284 (patch by Benjamin Herr).
285 - the key_press hook is now invoked before processing the
286 event, as documented. This change was done in 9.21 but not
287 announced and fixes debian bugs #511377, #531751 and red hat
288 bug #1105069. Note that this change breaks a few scripts,
289 such as mark-yank-urls, which rely on the previous buggy
290 behaviour that urxvt processes the event (in particular
291 keysym bindings) before invoking the hook.
292 - the tabbed extension now properly refreshes the active tab
293 on a key press when the mouse pointer is outside the terminal
294 window.
295 - add 'lookup_keysym' perl method to lookup the action bound
296 to a key combination.
297 - a key combination bound to 'matcher:select' can now be used
298 to cycle through the matches in matcher.
299 - change perl integer accessors (->width et al.) into mutators.
300 - this version has been verified to work with perl 5.8.3.
301
3029.21 Wed Dec 31 14:50:03 CET 2014
303 - the "moa redraw 8-bit british vintage colour management" release.
304 - NOTICE: this release updates terminfo.
305 - fix pixel droppings on overdraw when a secondary core font has the
306 same height but different ascent.
307 - implement cvvis in terminfo as blinking cursor, to distinguish it
308 from cnorm (emacs uses cvvis which is commonly a blinking cursor).
309 - when xft support was compiled in, colour queries erroneously returned
310 premultiplied values, this also affected internal queries, for example
311 when calculating faded colour. alpha is now divided out when possible,
312 which is more correct but loses colour resolution.
313 - add DECSCUSR xterm extension to set the cursor to a vertical bar.
314 - add 'extension:string' action, and associated on_action perl
315 hook, for keysym resources that invokes actions provided by
316 perl extensions. The 'perl:string' action and
317 on_user_command hook are deprecated but still supported.
318 - add 'builtin-string' action for keysym resources that restores string
319 mappings for keys that have predefined actions in urxvt.
320 - add -k option to urxvtc for killing the daemon process.
321 - document urxvtd's -e/--eval option that was implemented in 9.16,
322 but not documented.
323 - add -dockapp option to make the wm treat urxvt as a dockapp.
324 - add -mc option and multiClickTime resource to set the maximum time
325 between multi-click select events (patch by Joe Peterson).
326 - new 'eval' extension to evaluate arbitrary perl code with keysym
327 bindings. The extension also provides methods that implement basic
328 actions, such as pasting selections and scrolling.
329 - the macosx-clipboard and macosx-clipboard-native extensions have been removed.
330 - kuake extension now uses the kuake.hotkey resource to specify the hotkey.
331 - new 'matcher:select' mode of matcher to iterate over the matches with the keyboard.
332 - the 'matcher:list' feature of matcher now honours the launcher
333 associated to a matched pattern.
334 - speed-up matcher underlining on very long lines (reported by Edward Z. Yang).
335 - fix up/down commands of searchable-scrollback so that they always move
336 to the previous/next logical line with a match, if any.
337 - searchable-scrollback resource has been deprecated (use keysym instead).
338 - extension parameter passing is deprecated (use resource mechanism instead).
339 - upgrade to GPLv3 (see COPYING).
340 - compile out of the box on Solaris 10, again.
341 - fix height and position of the stippled area in next scrollbar (patch
342 by Thomas Otto).
343 - fix off-by-one bug causing the iso14755 window not to jump out of the
344 way properly.
345 - fix crash that may happen if a lib to which urxvt is linked to calls setenv.
346 - fix memory leak in special_{encode,decode} perl methods.
347 - fix refresh bug that occurs when reverse video is set on a cell
348 containing a space and with the same bg and fg colour, red hat bug
349 #830236.
350 - fix crash that may happen if an x error is received after a terminal
351 window/popup has been destroyed already.
352 - removed superfluous 0 digit from sgr terminfo sequence.
353 - greatly improve colour allocation on colour-starved pseudocolour
354 displays to avoid read-write cells instead of simply failing
355 (this is only relevant for antique 8bpp frame buffers).
356 - do not free fade colours when not doing fading (this is likely
357 only relevant for antique 8bpp frame buffers).
358 - do not specialcase 2 or 4 colour visuals, leading to
359 simpler and actually more correct code.
360 - hopefully no longer leak colours on !truecolour visuals.
361 - use consistent method names (scr_recolour => scr_recolor).
362 - use simpler (but slightly less bogus) formula for nearest
363 colour choice (this is likely only relevant for antique 8bpp
364 frame buffers).
365 - remove fallback behaviour when initialising colours - the
366 behaviour was inconsistent between startup vs. later and
367 was only effective when valid colours couldn't be allocated.
368
3699.20 Sat Apr 26 16:22:27 CEST 2014
370 - (libptytty) fix bug that prevented urxvtd from writing utmp
371 entries when using --fork (reported by Ryan Kavanagh).
372 - security bugfix: window property values could be queried even
373 in secure mode (reported by Conor McCarthy).
374 - fix build when perl is enabled and fading is disabled.
375 - fix regression that broke continuous scrolling when pressing
376 and holding the scrollbar up or down button, gentoo bug #493992.
377 - increase the maximum length of a command sequence to 32k bytes,
378 to allow longer OSC sequences (previous limit was 2k).
379 - new Ctrl-Meta-c and Ctrl-Meta-v bindings to interact with
380 the CLIPBOARD selection.
381 - new extension: selection-to-clipboard.
382 - the extensions macosx-clipboard and macosx-clipboard-native
383 are deprecated and will be removed in the next release.
384 Support for the clipboard on OS X can be more generally
385 enabled by setting the XQuartz preference to sync the OS X
386 pasteboard and the X11 clipboard.
387
3889.19 Sun Oct 27 17:16:07 CET 2013
389 - work around perl 5.18.0 breakage in tabbed extension
390 (reported by Karol Blazewicz) and in pod (Dominic Hargreaves).
391 - fix regression that caused the double-click word selection to
392 erroneously include a tab on the left of the selected word.
393 - implement FOCUS variable and focus_fade function in background
394 expression, to allow focus-sensitive background images.
395 - add support for the set cursor style (DECSCUSR) control
396 function.
397 - honour cursorColor also when the cursor style is underline.
398 - export some Color_xxx constants to Perl.
399
4009.18 Sun Mar 24 15:33:35 CET 2013
401 - fix regression that caused artifacts on resize.
402
4039.17 Fri Mar 1 13:46:08 CET 2013
404 - add shade operator in background perl extension.
405 - avoid starting or ending the selection in the middle of wide
406 characters to avoid artifacts (reported by Tiago Resende).
407 - fix artifacts that may occur if the character in the cursor
408 cell has width > 1 (reported by Tiago Resende).
409 - fix regression that causes artifacts on scrolling if
410 saveLines is 0 and the window is resized (reported by Bert
411 Münnich).
412 - fix build when perl is enabled and pixbuf and transparency
413 are disabled.
414
4159.16 Thu Dec 27 11:56:43 CET 2012
416 - the "so much new stuff your eyes will pop out" release.
417 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: renamed urlLauncher resource to url-launcher.
418 - fix processing of DEC private mode save sequences (patch by Patrick
419 Hemmer).
420 - perl extensions now have their own manpages, installed as urxvt-NAME(1),
421 e.g. urxvt-background(1) - see urxvt-extensions(1) for a list.
422 - fix disabling of cursor blink with the option-popup menu (based on a
423 patch by Jan Larres).
424 - the font height is not augmented anymore when lineSpace is non zero.
425 - fix "new pagemap" vs. "delete pagemap" mismatch ([] vs. non-[]),
426 as diagnosed by clang.
427 - fix height mismatch between active and inactive cursor when
428 lineSpace is non zero (patch by Stanislav Seletskiy).
429 - make it compile with LOCAL_X_IS_UNIX again (reported by
430 nickfailure@gmail.com).
431 - completely redone background pixmap support - users can now
432 specify arbitrary expressions (And programs) that calculate
433 new terminal backgrounds. see the urxvt-background manpage
434 for details.
435 - xrender is now required for background pixmap support.
436 - perl extensions can now provide commandline switches and resources
437 which show up in -help etc.
438 - iso14755 51 mode window now displays row and column.
439 - implement a -visual switch and move that and -depth to frills, also
440 warn when we can't get the requested visual.
441 - new env variable: RXVT_PERL_LIB.
442 - allocate all screen memory in one go and let the virtual memory
443 subsystem sort it out. this simplifies code, improves access
444 locality, saves a bit of ram and makes things a bit faster, too.
445 - remove support for libafterimage.
446 - update to CVS version of libev, for a whopping 11kb size decrease.
447 - do not ship yet another copy of ecb.h, use the one in libev or
448 libptytty instead.
449 - selectively mark some methods as cache-hot/cache cold, which
450 might speed up execution but definitely decreases codesize.
451 - Fix regression that prevented the scrollbar trough color
452 from being applied (reported by Derek B. Noonburg).
453 - Fix the scrollbar size for rxvt style (patch by Mark Robinson).
454
4559.15 Sat Jan 21 13:36:56 CET 2012
456 - remove "using namespace std" because clang erroneously
457 thinks thats an error.
458 - finding a matching font (e.g. bold version of the base font)
459 was broken (reported by Eamon Walker).
460 - fix parsing of bg image styles. They really work now.
461 - fix blurring of bg image borders when using xrender.
462 - fix xrender blur on common xrender implementations that do
463 not behave correctly when the same pixmap is used as source
464 and destination in composite operations.
465 - fix regression that caused tabbed to compute the wrong size
466 for tabs.
467 - allow again an empty suffix in a keysym list spec (patch by

470 - fix -C option on solaris.
471
4729.14 Wed Dec 21 18:40:33 CET 2011
473 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: the urxvtd default socket path is now
474 $HOME/.urxvt/urxvtd-<nodename>.
475 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: the "list" keysym expansion now requires
476 loading of the "keysym-list" perl extension.
477 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: A scale value of 0 in the bg image
478 geometry no longer enables tiling, so as to make it possible
479 to disable both scaling and tiling.
480 - overhaul of the bg image operations. The old operations have
481 been deprecated in favour of elementary operations and
482 styles built on top of the new operations and scale/position
483 settings. (Emanuele Giaquinta).
484 - support for libafterimage is deprecated and will be removed
485 in the next release.
486 - fix a crash caused by selection_check not properly resetting
487 out-of-bounds mark values (can happen when extending a selection
488 while scrolling up in curses programs for example).
489 - do not move the selection when scrolling up and the selection is
490 outside the scrolling region (Emanuele Giaquinta).
491 - fix display of bold bright black (reported by Ben Winslow).
492 - fix memory leak when urgentOnBell is set (patch by Nathaniel
493 Filardo).
494 - fix a redraw bug that occurs when a bg pixmap is set and the
495 wm does not honour the size hints set by urxvt. Now urxvt
496 forces the size of the terminal window to be a multiple of
497 the cell size.
498 - sanitise the argument of SD / SU sequences. Fixes a possible
499 crash when the argument is big enough, red hat bug #711137
500 (Emanuele Giaquinta).
501 - correctly split long lines when scrolling.
502 - urxvt now looks for perl extensions also in $HOME/.urxvt/ext.
503 - add bell-command perl extension to execute a command when a
504 bell event occurs (Ryan Kavanagh).
505 - add set_urgency perl binding to set/reset the urgency hint.
506 - consume button release event in matcher (exg).
507 - keyboard accessible list of recent matches in matcher
508 (Bob Farrell).
509 - properly process 'keysym' sequences in tabbed when using
510 'focus follows mouse' and the focus is on the main window
511 but not on the active terminal window (patch by Martin
512 Pohlack).
513 - support for the freedesktop startup-notification protocol (patch by
514 Michael Stapelberg).
515 - the direction of VPR and VPB commands was reversed.
516 - fix alignment of inherited root pixmap when it is a different size
517 than the root window and the terminal window is off the left or top
518 edge (Mikachu).
519 - make $self visible in "eval perl expression" popup action, also
520 handle exceptions better.
521 - fix parsing of '-e' when it occurs as an option argument, such as in
522 'urxvt -title -e' (Emanuele Giaquinta).
523
5249.12 Wed Jun 29 14:34:28 CEST 2011
525 - fix regression in processing of SelectionNotify events.
526 urxvt would fail to request a selection if the owner did not
527 support the UTF8_STRING target.
528 - fix rendering of double width chars in certain circumstances, more
529 likely to happen if urxvt is compiled with 256 colors support as
530 urxvt runs out of fonts much earlier then. Fixes gentoo bug #358151
531 (Emanuele Giaquinta).
532 - restore support for 'list' syntax in keysym resources (requested by Sung Pae).
533 - always premultiply colour values - while this increases differences between
534 core fonts and xft, it is "more correct" in practical situations.
535 - disable PTYTTY_REENTRANT option - not needed for urxvt and saves a bit of code.
536 - remove lucidatypewriter from the list of fallback fonts, it was the only
537 non-xft non-cellfont in the list anyway.
538
5399.11 Mon May 2 10:34:46 CEST 2011
540 - fix compilation on GNU/Hurd, debian bug #624736.
541 - remove 'list' syntax for keysym resources, as it serves no useful purpose.
542 If you need it, poke us and provide a use case.
543 - fix alpha channel support. Premultiply alpha in colours if the visual
544 supports an alpha channel, as xrender expects premultiplied alpha
545 (Emanuele Giaquinta).
546 - fix reply to a selection request sent by an obsolete client
547 such as syncterm (patch by Marcin Cieslak).
548 - fix crash when the window is resized and the overlay is active
549 (Emanuele Giaquinta, reported by Ryan Kavanagh).
550 - match character-wise rather than byte-wise in selection
551 extension again. perl 5.8.9+ is required to avoid extreme
552 slowdowns. Fixes debian bugs #523072, #616463.
553 - fix a possible crash if the INCR transfer process for a
554 selection property timeouts and at least one chunk is
555 received. (Emanuele Giaquinta)
556 - work around a memory corruption bug in xorg's XrmSetDatabase (apparently
557 broken since http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/xorg-commit-diffs/2004-March/000239.html).
558 - fix memory corruption bug when custom command sequences bound to keys
559 were injected into an already-full pty input buffer.
560 - gdk-pixbuf is autodetected by default and preferred over libafterimage.
561 - do not prepend a newline to the selection text when the starting line
562 of the selection is not highlighted (Emanuele Giaquinta).
563 - don't swap perl env with real env, save and restore it, just in case
564 we ever get recursive perl invocations. also saves a bit of codespace
565 with gcc.
566 - fix various memory leaks (Emanuele Giaquinta).
567 - fix typo in kIC terminfo capability, debian bug #446444.
568 - document 'thickness' resource.
569 - fix debian bug #504817, to the extent possible.
570 - try to detect byte order at compile time, saves a couple of
571 hundred bytes, if your compiler is smart enough.
572 - add support for previewing the pasted data in confirm-paste
573 (Emanuele Giaquinta).
574 - added "newlines to spaces" option in selection-popup.
575 - actually enabled solaris event ports backend (was disabled by accident).
576 - revert to 38400 baud max., mission accomplished.
577 - no longer create scary "pty_fill: PLEASE REPORT" message, instead,
578 silently drain the input (problem is well understood now).
579 - no longer swallow rob nation's own graphics mode commands.
580
5819.10 Mon Dec 13 17:43:52 CET 2010
582 - the "schmorp=north korea dickey=south korea" release.
583 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: make OSC 20 simpler and more correct
584 (Emanuele Giaquinta).
585 - if options were compiled out, this could lead to the option
586 count to be defined wrongly. This is likely behind the
587 failures with gcc 4.5.
588 - explicitly depend on fontconfig and xrender when xft support
589 is enabled. Although the public Xft api uses types from
590 both, in Xft 2.2.0 these libs are private
591 dependencies only thanks to an idiotic behaviour of
592 pkg-config that was added to workaround cases like this one.
593 Fixes linking when using GNU ld with --as-needed or GNU gold
594 (based on patch by Jan Palus).
595 - fix minor memory leaks in urxvt and urxvtd.
596 - fix regression in urxvtd that prevented options from being correctly
597 set (reported by Michal Vaner).
598 - implement xterm's horribly broken 1005 mouse reporting mode,
599 and an alternative 1015 mode that works in non-utf-8 locales
600 and has fewer limitations.
601 - fix a possible bug where mouse notifications didn't work after
602 startup for the upper left corner.
603 - implement our own pixbuf to pixmap rendering to get rid of
604 dependency on buggy gdk-pixbuf-xlib. Only truecolor visuals
605 are supported (Emanuele Giaquinta).
606 - apply tinting before shading when both operations are requested.
607 Previously they were intermixed when lightening and the result
608 was inaccurate and confusing. Note that now a black tint yields a
609 completely black image, regardless of shading (Emanuele Giaquinta).
610 - avoid spurious redraws of the bg image when bg is transparent or
611 when using 'root' mode (Emanuele Giaquinta).
612 - fix build on XFree86.
613 - dynamically number options according to compiletime requirements.
614 For the extra saved byte. Or so. Yay.
615 - start options at one, not zero. Wastes a bit per terminal. Maybe.
616 saves 50 instruction bytes. Possibly.
617

631 - fix utmpx detection on upcoming FreeBSD 9.
632 - Use COMPOUND_TEXT encoding for WM_NAME/WM_ICON_NAME value when it
633 is not fully convertible to STRING (patch by James Cloos).
634 - fix a buffer overflow that would cause wrong key sequences to
635 be generated for numpad keys (introduced in 9.05).
636 - fix definition of sgr0 to work around limitations in luit.
637 - extend ISO 14755 5.4 mode to also print the font name of the
638 characters other than first one in the selected cell
639 (Emanuele Giaquinta).
640 - new iso14755 option to disable ISO 14755 at runtime
641 (Emanuele Giaquinta).
642 - make sure pagewise scrolling scrolls at least one line
643 (found by Mikachu).
644 - remove deprecated OSC 18 / 19 and make OSC 17 / 19 apply to
645 highlightColor / highlightTextColor (Emanuele Giaquinta).
646 - add highlightTextColor resource to change the foreground colour of
647 highlighted characters (Emanuele Giaquinta).
648 - make highlightColor apply also to selected cells with reverse video
649 but not to non selected cells with reverse video (Emanuele Giaquinta).
650 - remove colorRV resource (it was enabled only with frills off).

652 - reduce the number of custom bits to 4, to make room
653 for 256 colours.
654 - add support for 256 colors (Emanuele Giaquinta, Marc Lehmann).
655 - add rxvt-unicode-256color terminfo and use it by default in 256 colors mode.
656 - update rxvt-unicode terminfo to state 7744 colour pairs to cover all
657 88*88 possible pairs.
658 - actually added macosx-clipboard-native, which should have been in
659 the 9.07 release but had been forgotten.
660 - fix hang if DECAWM is not set and there are not enough columns to insert a
661 character (Emanuele Giaquinta).
662 - cub1 ("backspace") will now respect wrapping when past the rightmost column,
663 working around a shortcoming of most tty line discipline's line editing.
664 - add support for grabbing the clipboard selection and extend
665 selection{_clear,_grab,} perl bindings to optionally work
666 on the clipboard selection (based on patch by Dana Jansens).
667 - no longer force CERASE to BACKSPACE - use the system default. affects
668 default value for VERASE only when no compatible setting for
669 backspacekey was given.
670 - use higher than 38400 baudrate setting, if detected.
671 - erase screen would clear to the wrong background when blinking

674 - upgrade and port to libev-4.01.
675 - enabled solaris event ports and kqueue backends (if available).
676
6779.07 Wed Dec 30 07:07:18 CET 2009
678 - port to glibc-2.10 changes (strchr etc. returning const char *
679 in C++), based on patches by Milos Jakubicek and Oliver Mader.
680 - the binary search algorithm to find precomposed characters
681 was faulty, skipping some possible combinations (found by
682 Mikachu).
683 - new -letterspace option, patch by Mark H. Wilkinson.
684 - enable --mlock option for urxvt with frills on
685 systems supporting it (patch by Russell Harmon).
686 - urxvt did not compile without frills enabled
687 (analysed by Matthew Rosewarne).
688 - correctly reset the mbstate after an illegal
689 input sequence when handling terminal output (Emanuele Giaquinta).
690 - avoid redrawing wide characters with combining enabled on every
691 refresh (reported by Mikachu).
692 - fix a typo preventing the ISO-646.1991 character set from being
693 recognized (http://achurch.org/patch-pile/).
694 - better warning for x11 font encoding detection failures, also,
695 try to deduce encoding from both font properties and name
696 (adapted from http://achurch.org/patch-pile/).
697 - resizing the window with the scrollbar disabled via the escapes

708 namespace with lots of symbols "for gnu/gcc compatibility" even
709 though neither of them does it, and then calls the rest of the world
710 in need of fixing. go figure.
711 - on_keyboard_command is on_user_command (patch by Michael Witten).
712 - setting the selection from perl will now reset the selection screen
713 to the current screen. the screen can be manipulated using
