49 - do not render variation selectors in the default font as boxes, treat
50 them as zero-width characters.
51 - allow perl-ext and perl-ext-common to override autoloaded extensions.
52 this allows tabbed to disable itself in subtabs, avoiding recursive
53 loading.
54 - update precompose table to uinicode 13.0.
55
569.26 Fri May 14 19:14:14 CEST 2021
57 - ev_iouring.c was wrongly required during compilation, and wrongly
58 not packaged.

609.25 Fri May 14 15:51:36 CEST 2021
61 - for the 17.5th anniversary, and because many distributions seem to
62 remove rxvt in favour of urxvt, this release resurrects rclock as
63 urclock.
64 - add support for systemd socket-based activation - debian bug #917105,
65 freebsd bug #234276.
66 - do not destruct perl on exit anymore: this might fail for a variety of
67 reasons, and takes unnecessary time.
68 - remove any macros from urxvtperl manpage(s), should fix debian
69 bug 858385.
70 - the old bg image resources are now provided by the background
71 extension, and perl is thus required for bg image support. No
72 configuration change is needed: urxvt autoloads the background
73 ext if any bg image resource/option is present (for OSC sequences to
74 work you need to enable it explicitly). The old bg image
75 resources are also now deprecated; users are encouraged to
76 switch to the new bg image interface (see man urxvt-background).
77 - confirm-paste now checks for any ctlchars, not just newlines.
78 - searchable scrollback will now ignore bracketed paste mode sequences
79 (prompted by Daniel Gröber's patch).
80 - drop ISO 2022 locale support. ISO 2022 encodings are not supported in
81 POSIX locales and clash with vt100 charset emulation (the luit
82 program can be used as a substitute).
83 - perl didn't parse rgba colours specified as an array correctly,
84 only allowing 0 and 100% intensity for each component (this affected
85 fill and tint).
86 - when iterating over resources, urxvt will now try to properly handle
87 multipart resources (such as "*background.expr"), for the benefit
88 of autoloading perl extensions.
89 - ESC G (query rxvt graphics mode) has been disabled due to security
90 implications. The rxvt graphics mode was removed in rxvt-unicode 1.5,
91 and no programs relying on being able to query the mode are known.
92 - work around API change breakage in perl 5.28, based on a patch by
93 Roman Bogorodskiy.
94 - improved security: rob nation's (obsolete) graphics mode queries
95 no longer reply with linefeed in secure/default mode.
96 - ISO 8613-3 direct colour SGR sequences (patch by Fengguang Wu).
97 - xterm focus reporting mode (patch by Daniel Hahler).
98 - xterm SGR mouse mode.
99 - implement DECRQM. Patch by Přemysl Eric Janouch.
100 - add missing color index parameter to OSC 4 response. Patch
101 by Přemysl Eric Janouch.
102 - in some window managers, if smart resize was enabled, urxvt
103 erroneously moved the window on font change - awesome bug
104 #532, arch linux bug ##34807 (patch by Uli Schlachter).
105 - fix urxvtd crash when using a background expression.
106 - properly restore colors when using fading and reverse video
107 is enabled while urxvt is focused and then disabled while it
108 is not focused, or vice versa (patch by Daniel Hahler).
109 - fix high memory usage when an extension repeatedly hides and
110 shows an overlay (reported by Marcel Lautenbach).
111 - expose priv_modes member and constants to perl extensions
112 (patch by Rastislav Barlik).
113 - fix a whole slew of const sillyness, unfortunately forced upon
114 us by ISO C++.
115 - update to libecb 0x00010006.
116 - disable all thread support in ecb.h as we presumably don't need it.
117 - slightly improve Makefile source dependencies.
118 - work around bugs in newer Pod::Xhtml versions (flags incorrect formatting codes
119 in xhtml/html sections but does not interpret correct ones).
120
1219.22 Sat Jan 23 21:07:33 CET 2016
122 - NOTICE: this release updates terminfo.
123 - add terminfo capabilities for various ctrl and shift-ctrl key variants
124 (patch by Sebastian Schmidt).
125 - fix longstanding core font encoding bug where some character
126 ranges could not be mapped from unicode to the font: affected
127 encodings are big5, gb2312, iso8859-8 (hebrew), jis0201 and
128 ksc5601 (reported by Mikachu).
129 - fix crash when the number of columns is 1 and a 0 width character is inserted
130 (reported by Kuang-che Wu).
131 - fix a crash when parsing an invalid color specification (reported by Kuang-che Wu).
132 - fix a buffer overflow in font name parser (reported by Kuang-che Wu).
133 - do not start blinking cursor if the window is unfocused (reported by
134 Devin J. Pohly).
135 - change the width of underline and i-beam cursor to 2 pixels (based on
136 a patch by Omar Sandoval).
137 - add pointerShape resource to change the mouse pointer shape
138 (based on a patch by Brian Watson).
139 - a keysym resource for a key which is already bound to an
140 action now properly rebinds the key.
141 - do not report mouse motion events if Shift is active (patch by Daniel Hahler).
142 - put the alpha component last in responses to OSC color queries
143 (patch by Benjamin Herr).
144 - the key_press hook is now invoked before processing the
145 event, as documented. This change was done in 9.21 but not
146 announced and fixes debian bugs #511377, #531751 and red hat
147 bug #1105069. Note that this change breaks a few scripts,
148 such as mark-yank-urls, which rely on the previous buggy
149 behaviour that urxvt processes the event (in particular
150 keysym bindings) before invoking the hook.
151 - the tabbed extension now properly refreshes the active tab
152 on a key press when the mouse pointer is outside the terminal
153 window.
154 - add 'lookup_keysym' perl method to lookup the action bound
155 to a key combination.
156 - a key combination bound to 'matcher:select' can now be used
157 to cycle through the matches in matcher.
158 - change perl integer accessors (->width et al.) into mutators.
159
1609.21 Wed Dec 31 14:50:03 CET 2014
161 - the "moa redraw 8-bit british vintage colour management" release.
162 - NOTICE: this release updates terminfo.
163 - fix pixel droppings on overdraw when a secondary core font has the
164 same height but different ascent.
165 - implement cvvis in terminfo as blinking cursor, to distinguish it
166 from cnorm (emacs uses cvvis which is commonly a blinking cursor).
167 - when xft support was compiled in, colour queries erroneously returned
168 premultiplied values, this also affected internal queries, for example
169 when calculating faded colour. alpha is now divided out when possible,
170 which is more correct but loses colour resolution.
171 - add DECSCUSR xterm extension to set the cursor to a vertical bar.
172 - add 'extension:string' action, and associated on_action perl
173 hook, for keysym resources that invokes actions provided by
174 perl extensions. The 'perl:string' action and
175 on_user_command hook are deprecated but still supported.
176 - add 'builtin-string' action for keysym resources that restores string
177 mappings for keys that have predefined actions in urxvt.
178 - add -k option to urxvtc for killing the daemon process.
179 - document urxvtd's -e/--eval option that was implemented in 9.16,
180 but not documented.
181 - add -dockapp option to make the wm treat urxvt as a dockapp.
182 - add -mc option and multiClickTime resource to set the maximum time
183 between multi-click select events (patch by Joe Peterson).
184 - new 'eval' extension to evaluate arbitrary perl code with keysym
185 bindings. The extension also provides methods that implement basic
186 actions, such as pasting selections and scrolling.
187 - the macosx-clipboard and macosx-clipboard-native extensions have been removed.
188 - kuake extension now uses the kuake.hotkey resource to specify the hotkey.
189 - new 'matcher:select' mode of matcher to iterate over the matches with the keyboard.
190 - the 'matcher:list' feature of matcher now honours the launcher
191 associated to a matched pattern.
192 - speed-up matcher underlining on very long lines (reported by Edward Z. Yang).
193 - fix up/down commands of searchable-scrollback so that they always move
194 to the previous/next logical line with a match, if any.
195 - searchable-scrollback resource has been deprecated (use keysym instead).
196 - extension parameter passing is deprecated (use resource mechanism instead).
197 - upgrade to GPLv3 (see COPYING).
198 - compile out of the box on Solaris 10, again.
199 - fix height and position of the stippled area in next scrollbar (patch
200 by Thomas Otto).
201 - fix off-by-one bug causing the iso14755 window not to jump out of the
202 way properly.
203 - fix crash that may happen if a lib to which urxvt is linked to calls setenv.
204 - fix memory leak in special_{encode,decode} perl methods.
205 - fix refresh bug that occurs when reverse video is set on a cell
206 containing a space and with the same bg and fg colour, red hat bug
207 #830236.
208 - fix crash that may happen if an x error is received after a terminal
209 window/popup has been destroyed already.
210 - removed superfluous 0 digit from sgr terminfo sequence.
211 - greatly improve colour allocation on colour-starved pseudocolour
212 displays to avoid read-write cells instead of simply failing
213 (this is only relevant for antique 8bpp frame buffers).
214 - do not free fade colours when not doing fading (this is likely
215 only relevant for antique 8bpp frame buffers).
216 - do not specialcase 2 or 4 colour visuals, leading to
217 simpler and actually more correct code.
218 - hopefully no longer leak colours on !truecolour visuals.
219 - use consistent method names (scr_recolour => scr_recolor).
220 - use simpler (but slightly less bogus) formula for nearest
221 colour choice (this is likely only relevant for antique 8bpp
222 frame buffers).
223 - remove fallback behaviour when initialising colours - the
224 behaviour was inconsistent between startup vs. later and
225 was only effective when valid colours couldn't be allocated.
226
2279.20 Sat Apr 26 16:22:27 CEST 2014
228 - (libptytty) fix bug that prevented urxvtd from writing utmp
229 entries when using --fork (reported by Ryan Kavanagh).
230 - security bugfix: window property values could be queried even
231 in secure mode (reported by Conor McCarthy).
232 - fix build when perl is enabled and fading is disabled.
233 - fix regression that broke continuous scrolling when pressing
234 and holding the scrollbar up or down button, gentoo bug #493992.
235 - increase the maximum length of a command sequence to 32k bytes,
236 to allow longer OSC sequences (previous limit was 2k).
237 - new Ctrl-Meta-c and Ctrl-Meta-v bindings to interact with
238 the CLIPBOARD selection.
239 - new extension: selection-to-clipboard.
240 - the extensions macosx-clipboard and macosx-clipboard-native
241 are deprecated and will be removed in the next release.
242 Support for the clipboard on OS X can be more generally
243 enabled by setting the XQuartz preference to sync the OS X
244 pasteboard and the X11 clipboard.
245
2469.19 Sun Oct 27 17:16:07 CET 2013
247 - work around perl 5.18.0 breakage in tabbed extension
248 (reported by Karol Blazewicz) and in pod (Dominic Hargreaves).
249 - fix regression that caused the double-click word selection to
250 erroneously include a tab on the left of the selected word.
251 - implement FOCUS variable and focus_fade function in background
252 expression, to allow focus-sensitive background images.
253 - add support for the set cursor style (DECSCUSR) control
254 function.
255 - honour cursorColor also when the cursor style is underline.
256 - export some Color_xxx constants to Perl.
257
2589.18 Sun Mar 24 15:33:35 CET 2013
259 - fix regression that caused artifacts on resize.
260
2619.17 Fri Mar 1 13:46:08 CET 2013
262 - add shade operator in background perl extension.
263 - avoid starting or ending the selection in the middle of wide
264 characters to avoid artifacts (reported by Tiago Resende).
265 - fix artifacts that may occur if the character in the cursor
266 cell has width > 1 (reported by Tiago Resende).
267 - fix regression that causes artifacts on scrolling if
268 saveLines is 0 and the window is resized (reported by Bert
269 Münnich).
270 - fix build when perl is enabled and pixbuf and transparency
271 are disabled.
272
2739.16 Thu Dec 27 11:56:43 CET 2012
274 - the "so much new stuff your eyes will pop out" release.
275 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: renamed urlLauncher resource to url-launcher.
276 - fix processing of DEC private mode save sequences (patch by Patrick
277 Hemmer).
278 - perl extensions now have their own manpages, installed as urxvt-NAME(1),
279 e.g. urxvt-background(1) - see urxvt-extensions(1) for a list.
280 - fix disabling of cursor blink with the option-popup menu (based on a
281 patch by Jan Larres).
282 - the font height is not augmented anymore when lineSpace is non zero.
283 - fix "new pagemap" vs. "delete pagemap" mismatch ([] vs. non-[]),
284 as diagnosed by clang.
285 - fix height mismatch between active and inactive cursor when
286 lineSpace is non zero (patch by Stanislav Seletskiy).
287 - make it compile with LOCAL_X_IS_UNIX again (reported by
288 nickfailure@gmail.com).
289 - completely redone background pixmap support - users can now
290 specify arbitrary expressions (And programs) that calculate
291 new terminal backgrounds. see the urxvt-background manpage
292 for details.
293 - xrender is now required for background pixmap support.
294 - perl extensions can now provide commandline switches and resources
295 which show up in -help etc.
296 - iso14755 51 mode window now displays row and column.
297 - implement a -visual switch and move that and -depth to frills, also
298 warn when we can't get the requested visual.
299 - new env variable: RXVT_PERL_LIB.
300 - allocate all screen memory in one go and let the virtual memory
301 subsystem sort it out. this simplifies code, improves access
302 locality, saves a bit of ram and makes things a bit faster, too.
303 - remove support for libafterimage.
304 - update to CVS version of libev, for a whopping 11kb size decrease.
305 - do not ship yet another copy of ecb.h, use the one in libev or
306 libptytty instead.
307 - selectively mark some methods as cache-hot/cache cold, which
308 might speed up execution but definitely decreases codesize.
309 - Fix regression that prevented the scrollbar trough color
310 from being applied (reported by Derek B. Noonburg).
311 - Fix the scrollbar size for rxvt style (patch by Mark Robinson).
312
3139.15 Sat Jan 21 13:36:56 CET 2012
314 - remove "using namespace std" because clang erroneously
315 thinks thats an error.
316 - finding a matching font (e.g. bold version of the base font)
317 was broken (reported by Eamon Walker).
318 - fix parsing of bg image styles. They really work now.
319 - fix blurring of bg image borders when using xrender.
320 - fix xrender blur on common xrender implementations that do
321 not behave correctly when the same pixmap is used as source
322 and destination in composite operations.
323 - fix regression that caused tabbed to compute the wrong size
324 for tabs.
325 - allow again an empty suffix in a keysym list spec (patch by
326 Sung Pae).
327 - unsupported support for sun studio's CC added.
328 - fix -C option on solaris.
329
3309.14 Wed Dec 21 18:40:33 CET 2011
331 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: the urxvtd default socket path is now
332 $HOME/.urxvt/urxvtd-<nodename>.
333 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: the "list" keysym expansion now requires
334 loading of the "keysym-list" perl extension.
335 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: A scale value of 0 in the bg image
336 geometry no longer enables tiling, so as to make it possible
337 to disable both scaling and tiling.
338 - overhaul of the bg image operations. The old operations have
339 been deprecated in favour of elementary operations and
340 styles built on top of the new operations and scale/position
341 settings. (Emanuele Giaquinta).
342 - support for libafterimage is deprecated and will be removed
343 in the next release.
344 - fix a crash caused by selection_check not properly resetting
345 out-of-bounds mark values (can happen when extending a selection
346 while scrolling up in curses programs for example).
347 - do not move the selection when scrolling up and the selection is
348 outside the scrolling region (Emanuele Giaquinta).
349 - fix display of bold bright black (reported by Ben Winslow).
350 - fix memory leak when urgentOnBell is set (patch by Nathaniel
351 Filardo).
352 - fix a redraw bug that occurs when a bg pixmap is set and the
353 wm does not honour the size hints set by urxvt. Now urxvt
354 forces the size of the terminal window to be a multiple of
355 the cell size.
356 - sanitise the argument of SD / SU sequences. Fixes a possible
357 crash when the argument is big enough, red hat bug #711137
358 (Emanuele Giaquinta).
359 - correctly split long lines when scrolling.
360 - urxvt now looks for perl extensions also in $HOME/.urxvt/ext.
361 - add bell-command perl extension to execute a command when a
362 bell event occurs (Ryan Kavanagh).
363 - add set_urgency perl binding to set/reset the urgency hint.
364 - consume button release event in matcher (exg).
365 - keyboard accessible list of recent matches in matcher
366 (Bob Farrell).
367 - properly process 'keysym' sequences in tabbed when using
368 'focus follows mouse' and the focus is on the main window
369 but not on the active terminal window (patch by Martin
370 Pohlack).
371 - support for the freedesktop startup-notification protocol (patch by
372 Michael Stapelberg).
373 - the direction of VPR and VPB commands was reversed.
374 - fix alignment of inherited root pixmap when it is a different size
375 than the root window and the terminal window is off the left or top
376 edge (Mikachu).
377 - make $self visible in "eval perl expression" popup action, also
378 handle exceptions better.
379 - fix parsing of '-e' when it occurs as an option argument, such as in
380 'urxvt -title -e' (Emanuele Giaquinta).
381
3829.12 Wed Jun 29 14:34:28 CEST 2011
383 - fix regression in processing of SelectionNotify events.
384 urxvt would fail to request a selection if the owner did not
385 support the UTF8_STRING target.
386 - fix rendering of double width chars in certain circumstances, more
387 likely to happen if urxvt is compiled with 256 colors support as
388 urxvt runs out of fonts much earlier then. Fixes gentoo bug #358151
389 (Emanuele Giaquinta).
390 - restore support for 'list' syntax in keysym resources (requested by Sung Pae).
391 - always premultiply colour values - while this increases differences between
392 core fonts and xft, it is "more correct" in practical situations.
393 - disable PTYTTY_REENTRANT option - not needed for urxvt and saves a bit of code.
394 - remove lucidatypewriter from the list of fallback fonts, it was the only
395 non-xft non-cellfont in the list anyway.
396
3979.11 Mon May 2 10:34:46 CEST 2011
398 - fix compilation on GNU/Hurd, debian bug #624736.
399 - remove 'list' syntax for keysym resources, as it serves no useful purpose.
400 If you need it, poke us and provide a use case.
401 - fix alpha channel support. Premultiply alpha in colours if the visual
402 supports an alpha channel, as xrender expects premultiplied alpha
403 (Emanuele Giaquinta).
404 - fix reply to a selection request sent by an obsolete client
405 such as syncterm (patch by Marcin Cieslak).
406 - fix crash when the window is resized and the overlay is active
407 (Emanuele Giaquinta, reported by Ryan Kavanagh).
408 - match character-wise rather than byte-wise in selection
409 extension again. perl 5.8.9+ is required to avoid extreme
410 slowdowns. Fixes debian bugs #523072, #616463.
411 - fix a possible crash if the INCR transfer process for a
412 selection property timeouts and at least one chunk is
413 received. (Emanuele Giaquinta)
414 - work around a memory corruption bug in xorg's XrmSetDatabase (apparently
415 broken since http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/xorg-commit-diffs/2004-March/000239.html).
416 - fix memory corruption bug when custom command sequences bound to keys
417 were injected into an already-full pty input buffer.
418 - gdk-pixbuf is autodetected by default and preferred over libafterimage.
419 - do not prepend a newline to the selection text when the starting line
420 of the selection is not highlighted (Emanuele Giaquinta).
421 - don't swap perl env with real env, save and restore it, just in case
422 we ever get recursive perl invocations. also saves a bit of codespace
423 with gcc.
424 - fix various memory leaks (Emanuele Giaquinta).
425 - fix typo in kIC terminfo capability, debian bug #446444.
426 - document 'thickness' resource.
427 - fix debian bug #504817, to the extent possible.
428 - try to detect byte order at compile time, saves a couple of
429 hundred bytes, if your compiler is smart enough.
430 - add support for previewing the pasted data in confirm-paste
431 (Emanuele Giaquinta).
432 - added "newlines to spaces" option in selection-popup.
433 - actually enabled solaris event ports backend (was disabled by accident).
434 - revert to 38400 baud max., mission accomplished.
435 - no longer create scary "pty_fill: PLEASE REPORT" message, instead,
436 silently drain the input (problem is well understood now).
437 - no longer swallow rob nation's own graphics mode commands.
438
4399.10 Mon Dec 13 17:43:52 CET 2010
440 - the "schmorp=north korea dickey=south korea" release.
441 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: make OSC 20 simpler and more correct
442 (Emanuele Giaquinta).
443 - if options were compiled out, this could lead to the option
444 count to be defined wrongly. This is likely behind the
445 failures with gcc 4.5.
446 - explicitly depend on fontconfig and xrender when xft support
447 is enabled. Although the public Xft api uses types from
448 both, in Xft 2.2.0 these libs are private
449 dependencies only thanks to an idiotic behaviour of
450 pkg-config that was added to workaround cases like this one.
451 Fixes linking when using GNU ld with --as-needed or GNU gold
452 (based on patch by Jan Palus).
453 - fix minor memory leaks in urxvt and urxvtd.
454 - fix regression in urxvtd that prevented options from being correctly
455 set (reported by Michal Vaner).
456 - implement xterm's horribly broken 1005 mouse reporting mode,
457 and an alternative 1015 mode that works in non-utf-8 locales
458 and has fewer limitations.
459 - fix a possible bug where mouse notifications didn't work after
460 startup for the upper left corner.
461 - implement our own pixbuf to pixmap rendering to get rid of
462 dependency on buggy gdk-pixbuf-xlib. Only truecolor visuals
463 are supported (Emanuele Giaquinta).
464 - apply tinting before shading when both operations are requested.
465 Previously they were intermixed when lightening and the result
466 was inaccurate and confusing. Note that now a black tint yields a
467 completely black image, regardless of shading (Emanuele Giaquinta).
468 - avoid spurious redraws of the bg image when bg is transparent or
469 when using 'root' mode (Emanuele Giaquinta).
470 - fix build on XFree86.
471 - dynamically number options according to compiletime requirements.
472 For the extra saved byte. Or so. Yay.
473 - start options at one, not zero. Wastes a bit per terminal. Maybe.
474 saves 50 instruction bytes. Possibly.
475

494 - fix definition of sgr0 to work around limitations in luit.
495 - extend ISO 14755 5.4 mode to also print the font name of the
496 characters other than first one in the selected cell
497 (Emanuele Giaquinta).

514 - update rxvt-unicode terminfo to state 7744 colour pairs to cover all
515 88*88 possible pairs.
516 - actually added macosx-clipboard-native, which should have been in
517 the 9.07 release but had been forgotten.
518 - fix hang if DECAWM is not set and there are not enough columns to insert a
519 character (Emanuele Giaquinta).
520 - cub1 ("backspace") will now respect wrapping when past the rightmost column,
521 working around a shortcoming of most tty line discipline's line editing.
