44TODO: confirm-paste should be the default
45TODO: xterm-osc does not autoload background
46TODO: think about daemon delaying urxvt client exit.
47TODO: libev update
48 - do not destruct perl on exit anymore: this might fail for a variety of
49 reasons, and takes unneccessary time.
50 - the old bg image resources are now provided by the background
51 extension, and perl is thus required for bg image support. No
52 configuration change is needed: urxvt autoloads the background
53 ext if any bg image resource/option is present (for OSC sequences to
54 work you need to enable it explicity). The old bg image
55 resources are also now deprecated; users are encouraged to
56 switch to the new bg image interface (see man urxvt-background).
57 - confirm-paste now checks for any ctlchars, not just newlines.
58 - searchable scrollback will now ignore bracketed paste mode sequences
59 (prompted by Daniel Gröber's patch).
60 - drop ISO 2022 locale support. ISO 2022 encodings are not supported in
61 POSIX locales and clash with vt100 charset emulation (the luit
62 program can be used as a substitute).
63 - perl didn't parse rgba colours specified as an array correctly,
64 only allowing 0 and 100% intensity for each component (this affected
65 fill and tint).
66 - when iterating over resources, urxvt will now try to properly handle
67 multipart resources (such as "*background.expr"), for the benefit
68 of autoloading perl extensions.
69 - ESC G (query rxvt graphics mode) has been disabled due to security
70 implications. The rxvt graphics mode was removed in rxvt-unicode 1.5,
71 and no programs relying on being able to query the mode are known.
72 - work around API change breakage in perl 5.28, based on a patch by
73 Roman Bogorodskiy.
74 - improved security: rob nation's (obsolete) graphics mode queries
75 no longer reply with linefeed in secure/default mode.
76 - ISO 8613-3 direct colour SGR sequences (patch by Fengguang Wu).
77 - xterm focus reporting mode (patch by Daniel Hahler).
78 - in some window managers, if smart resize was enabled, urxvt
79 erroneously moved the window on font change - awesome bug
80 #532, arch linux bug ##34807 (patch by Uli Schlachter).
81 - fix urxvtd crash when using a background expression.
82 - properly restore colors when using fading and reverse video
83 is enabled while urxvt is focused and then disabled while it
84 is not focused, or vice versa (patch by Daniel Hahler).
85 - fix high memory usage when an extension repeatedly hides and
86 shows an overlay (reported by Marcel Lautenbach).
87 - expose priv_modes member and constants to perl extensions
88 (patch by Rastislav Barlik).
89 - fix a whole slew of const sillyness, unfortunately forced upon
90 us by ISO C++.
91 - update to libecb 0x00010006.
92 - disable all thread support in ecb.h as we presumably don't need it.
93 - slightly improve Makefile source dependencies.
94
959.22 Sat Jan 23 21:07:33 CET 2016
96 - NOTICE: this release updates terminfo.
97 - add terminfo capabilities for various ctrl and shift-ctrl key variants
98 (patch by Sebastian Schmidt).
99 - fix longstanding core font encoding bug where some character
100 ranges could not be mapped from unicode to the font: affected
101 encodings are big5, gb2312, iso8859-8 (hebrew), jis0201 and
102 ksc5601 (reported by Mikachu).
103 - fix crash when the number of columns is 1 and a 0 width character is inserted
104 (reported by Kuang-che Wu).
105 - fix a crash when parsing an invalid color specification (reported by Kuang-che Wu).
106 - fix a buffer overflow in font name parser (reported by Kuang-che Wu).
107 - do not start blinking cursor if the window is unfocused (reported by
108 Devin J. Pohly).
109 - change the width of underline and i-beam cursor to 2 pixels (based on
110 a patch by Omar Sandoval).
111 - add pointerShape resource to change the mouse pointer shape
112 (based on a patch by Brian Watson).
113 - a keysym resource for a key which is already bound to an
114 action now properly rebinds the key.
115 - do not report mouse motion events if Shift is active (patch by Daniel Hahler).
116 - put the alpha component last in responses to OSC color queries
117 (patch by Benjamin Herr).
118 - the key_press hook is now invoked before processing the
119 event, as documented. This change was done in 9.21 but not
120 announced and fixes debian bugs #511377, #531751 and red hat
121 bug #1105069. Note that this change breaks a few scripts,
122 such as mark-yank-urls, which rely on the previous buggy
123 behaviour that urxvt processes the event (in particular
124 keysym bindings) before invoking the hook.
125 - the tabbed extension now properly refreshes the active tab
126 on a key press when the mouse pointer is outside the terminal
127 window.
128 - add 'lookup_keysym' perl method to lookup the action bound
129 to a key combination.
130 - a key combination bound to 'matcher:select' can now be used
131 to cycle through the matches in matcher.
132 - change perl integer accessors (->width et al.) into mutators.
133
1349.21 Wed Dec 31 14:50:03 CET 2014
135 - the "moa redraw 8-bit british vintage colour management" release.
136 - NOTICE: this release updates terminfo.
137 - fix pixel droppings on overdraw when a secondary core font has the
138 same height but different ascent.
139 - implement cvvis in terminfo as blinking cursor, to distinguish it
140 from cnorm (emacs uses cvvis which is commonly a blinking cursor).
141 - when xft support was compiled in, colour queries erroneously returned
142 premultiplied values, this also affected internal queries, for example
143 when calculating faded colour. alpha is now divided out when possible,
144 which is more correct but loses colour resolution.
145 - add DECSCUSR xterm extension to set the cursor to a vertical bar.
146 - add 'extension:string' action, and associated on_action perl
147 hook, for keysym resources that invokes actions provided by
148 perl extensions. The 'perl:string' action and
149 on_user_command hook are deprecated but still supported.
150 - add 'builtin-string' action for keysym resources that restores string
151 mappings for keys that have predefined actions in urxvt.
152 - add -k option to urxvtc for killing the daemon process.
153 - document urxvtd's -e/--eval option that was implemented in 9.16,
154 but not documented.
155 - add -dockapp option to make the wm treat urxvt as a dockapp.
156 - add -mc option and multiClickTime resource to set the maximum time
157 between multi-click select events (patch by Joe Peterson).
158 - new 'eval' extension to evaluate arbitrary perl code with keysym
159 bindings. The extension also provides methods that implement basic
160 actions, such as pasting selections and scrolling.
161 - the macosx-clipboard and macosx-clipboard-native extensions have been removed.
162 - kuake extension now uses the kuake.hotkey resource to specify the hotkey.
163 - new 'matcher:select' mode of matcher to iterate over the matches with the keyboard.
164 - the 'matcher:list' feature of matcher now honours the launcher
165 associated to a matched pattern.
166 - speed-up matcher underlining on very long lines (reported by Edward Z. Yang).
167 - fix up/down commands of searchable-scrollback so that they always move
168 to the previous/next logical line with a match, if any.
169 - searchable-scrollback resource has been deprecated (use keysym instead).
170 - extension parameter passing is deprecated (use resource mechanism instead).
171 - upgrade to GPLv3 (see COPYING).
172 - compile out of the box on Solaris 10, again.
173 - fix height and position of the stippled area in next scrollbar (patch
174 by Thomas Otto).
175 - fix off-by-one bug causing the iso14755 window not to jump out of the
176 way properly.
177 - fix crash that may happen if a lib to which urxvt is linked to calls setenv.
178 - fix memory leak in special_{encode,decode} perl methods.
179 - fix refresh bug that occurs when reverse video is set on a cell
180 containing a space and with the same bg and fg colour, red hat bug
181 #830236.
182 - fix crash that may happen if an x error is received after a terminal
183 window/popup has been destroyed already.
184 - removed superfluous 0 digit from sgr terminfo sequence.
185 - greatly improve colour allocation on colour-starved pseudocolour
186 displays to avoid read-write cells instead of simply failing
187 (this is only relevant for antique 8bpp frame buffers).
188 - do not free fade colours when not doing fading (this is likely
189 only relevant for antique 8bpp frame buffers).
190 - do not specialcase 2 or 4 colour visuals, leading to
191 simpler and actually more correct code.
192 - hopefully no longer leak colours on !truecolour visuals.
193 - use consistent method names (scr_recolour => scr_recolor).
194 - use simpler (but slightly less bogus) formula for nearest
195 colour choice (this is likely only relevant for antique 8bpp
196 frame buffers).
197 - remove fallback behaviour when initialising colours - the
198 behaviour was inconsistent between startup vs. later and
199 was only effective when valid colours couldn't be allocated.
200
2019.20 Sat Apr 26 16:22:27 CEST 2014
202 - (libptytty) fix bug that prevented urxvtd from writing utmp
203 entries when using --fork (reported by Ryan Kavanagh).
204 - security bugfix: window property values could be queried even
205 in secure mode (reported by Conor McCarthy).
206 - fix build when perl is enabled and fading is disabled.
207 - fix regression that broke continuous scrolling when pressing
208 and holding the scrollbar up or down button, gentoo bug #493992.
209 - increase the maximum length of a command sequence to 32k bytes,
210 to allow longer OSC sequences (previous limit was 2k).
211 - new Ctrl-Meta-c and Ctrl-Meta-v bindings to interact with
212 the CLIPBOARD selection.
213 - new extension: selection-to-clipboard.
214 - the extensions macosx-clipboard and macosx-clipboard-native
215 are deprecated and will be removed in the next release.
216 Support for the clipboard on OS X can be more generally
217 enabled by setting the XQuartz preference to sync the OS X
218 pasteboard and the X11 clipboard.
219
2209.19 Sun Oct 27 17:16:07 CET 2013
221 - work around perl 5.18.0 breakage in tabbed extension
222 (reported by Karol Blazewicz) and in pod (Dominic Hargreaves).
223 - fix regression that caused the double-click word selection to
224 erroneously include a tab on the left of the selected word.
225 - implement FOCUS variable and focus_fade function in background
226 expression, to allow focus-sensitive background images.
227 - add support for the set cursor style (DECSCUSR) control
228 function.
229 - honour cursorColor also when the cursor style is underline.
230 - export some Color_xxx constants to Perl.
231
2329.18 Sun Mar 24 15:33:35 CET 2013
233 - fix regression that caused artifacts on resize.
234
2359.17 Fri Mar 1 13:46:08 CET 2013
236 - add shade operator in background perl extension.
237 - avoid starting or ending the selection in the middle of wide
238 characters to avoid artifacts (reported by Tiago Resende).
239 - fix artifacts that may occur if the character in the cursor
240 cell has width > 1 (reported by Tiago Resende).
241 - fix regression that causes artifacts on scrolling if
242 saveLines is 0 and the window is resized (reported by Bert
243 Münnich).
244 - fix build when perl is enabled and pixbuf and transparency
245 are disabled.
246
2479.16 Thu Dec 27 11:56:43 CET 2012
248 - the "so much new stuff your eyes will pop out" release.
249 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: renamed urlLauncher resource to url-launcher.
250 - fix processing of DEC private mode save sequences (patch by Patrick
251 Hemmer).
252 - perl extensions now have their own manpages, installed as urxvt-NAME(1),
253 e.g. urxvt-background(1) - see urxvt-extensions(1) for a list.
254 - fix disabling of cursor blink with the option-popup menu (based on a
255 patch by Jan Larres).
256 - the font height is not augmented anymore when lineSpace is non zero.
257 - fix "new pagemap" vs. "delete pagemap" mismatch ([] vs. non-[]),
258 as diagnosed by clang.
259 - fix height mismatch between active and inactive cursor when
260 lineSpace is non zero (patch by Stanislav Seletskiy).
261 - make it compile with LOCAL_X_IS_UNIX again (reported by
262 nickfailure@gmail.com).
263 - completely redone background pixmap support - users can now
264 specify arbitrary expressions (And programs) that calculate
265 new terminal backgrounds. see the urxvt-background manpage
266 for details.
267 - xrender is now required for background pixmap support.
268 - perl extensions can now provide commandline switches and resources
269 which show up in -help etc.
270 - iso14755 51 mode window now displays row and column.
271 - implement a -visual switch and move that and -depth to frills, also
272 warn when we can't get the requested visual.
273 - new env variable: RXVT_PERL_LIB.
274 - allocate all screen memory in one go and let the virtual memory
275 subsystem sort it out. this simplifies code, improves access
276 locality, saves a bit of ram and makes things a bit faster, too.
277 - remove support for libafterimage.
278 - update to CVS version of libev, for a whopping 11kb size decrease.
279 - do not ship yet another copy of ecb.h, use the one in libev or
280 libptytty instead.
281 - selectively mark some methods as cache-hot/cache cold, which
282 might speed up execution but definitely decreases codesize.
283 - Fix regression that prevented the scrollbar trough color
284 from being applied (reported by Derek B. Noonburg).
285 - Fix the scrollbar size for rxvt style (patch by Mark Robinson).
286
2879.15 Sat Jan 21 13:36:56 CET 2012
288 - remove "using namespace std" because clang erroneously
289 thinks thats an error.
290 - finding a matching font (e.g. bold version of the base font)
291 was broken (reported by Eamon Walker).
292 - fix parsing of bg image styles. They really work now.
293 - fix blurring of bg image borders when using xrender.
294 - fix xrender blur on common xrender implementations that do
295 not behave correctly when the same pixmap is used as source
296 and destination in composite operations.
297 - fix regression that caused tabbed to compute the wrong size
298 for tabs.
299 - allow again an empty suffix in a keysym list spec (patch by
300 Sung Pae).
301 - unsupported support for sun studio's CC added.
302 - fix -C option on solaris.
303
3049.14 Wed Dec 21 18:40:33 CET 2011
305 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: the urxvtd default socket path is now
306 $HOME/.urxvt/urxvtd-<nodename>.
307 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: the "list" keysym expansion now requires
308 loading of the "keysym-list" perl extension.
309 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: A scale value of 0 in the bg image
310 geometry no longer enables tiling, so as to make it possible
311 to disable both scaling and tiling.
312 - overhaul of the bg image operations. The old operations have
313 been deprecated in favour of elementary operations and
314 styles built on top of the new operations and scale/position
315 settings. (Emanuele Giaquinta).
316 - support for libafterimage is deprecated and will be removed
317 in the next release.
318 - fix a crash caused by selection_check not properly resetting
319 out-of-bounds mark values (can happen when extending a selection
320 while scrolling up in curses programs for example).
321 - do not move the selection when scrolling up and the selection is
322 outside the scrolling region (Emanuele Giaquinta).
323 - fix display of bold bright black (reported by Ben Winslow).
324 - fix memory leak when urgentOnBell is set (patch by Nathaniel
325 Filardo).
326 - fix a redraw bug that occurs when a bg pixmap is set and the
327 wm does not honour the size hints set by urxvt. Now urxvt
328 forces the size of the terminal window to be a multiple of
329 the cell size.
330 - sanitise the argument of SD / SU sequences. Fixes a possible
331 crash when the argument is big enough, red hat bug #711137
332 (Emanuele Giaquinta).
333 - correctly split long lines when scrolling.
334 - urxvt now looks for perl extensions also in $HOME/.urxvt/ext.
335 - add bell-command perl extension to execute a command when a
336 bell event occurs (Ryan Kavanagh).
337 - add set_urgency perl binding to set/reset the urgency hint.
338 - consume button release event in matcher (exg).
339 - keyboard accessible list of recent matches in matcher
340 (Bob Farrell).
341 - properly process 'keysym' sequences in tabbed when using
342 'focus follows mouse' and the focus is on the main window
343 but not on the active terminal window (patch by Martin
344 Pohlack).
345 - support for the freedesktop startup-notification protocol (patch by
346 Michael Stapelberg).
347 - the direction of VPR and VPB commands was reversed.
348 - fix alignment of inherited root pixmap when it is a different size
349 than the root window and the terminal window is off the left or top
350 edge (Mikachu).
351 - make $self visible in "eval perl expression" popup action, also
352 handle exceptions better.
353 - fix parsing of '-e' when it occurs as an option argument, such as in
354 'urxvt -title -e' (Emanuele Giaquinta).
355
3569.12 Wed Jun 29 14:34:28 CEST 2011
357 - fix regression in processing of SelectionNotify events.
358 urxvt would fail to request a selection if the owner did not
359 support the UTF8_STRING target.
360 - fix rendering of double width chars in certain circumstances, more
361 likely to happen if urxvt is compiled with 256 colors support as
362 urxvt runs out of fonts much earlier then. Fixes gentoo bug #358151
363 (Emanuele Giaquinta).
364 - restore support for 'list' syntax in keysym resources (requested by Sung Pae).
365 - always premultiply colour values - while this increases differences between
366 core fonts and xft, it is "more correct" in practical situations.
367 - disable PTYTTY_REENTRANT option - not needed for urxvt and saves a bit of code.
368 - remove lucidatypewriter from the list of fallback fonts, it was the only
369 non-xft non-cellfont in the list anyway.
370
3719.11 Mon May 2 10:34:46 CEST 2011
372 - fix compilation on GNU/Hurd, debian bug #624736.
373 - remove 'list' syntax for keysym resources, as it serves no useful purpose.
374 If you need it, poke us and provide a use case.
375 - fix alpha channel support. Premultiply alpha in colours if the visual
376 supports an alpha channel, as xrender expects premultiplied alpha
377 (Emanuele Giaquinta).
378 - fix reply to a selection request sent by an obsolete client
379 such as syncterm (patch by Marcin Cieslak).
380 - fix crash when the window is resized and the overlay is active
381 (Emanuele Giaquinta, reported by Ryan Kavanagh).
382 - match character-wise rather than byte-wise in selection
383 extension again. perl 5.8.9+ is required to avoid extreme
384 slowdowns. Fixes debian bugs #523072, #616463.
385 - fix a possible crash if the INCR transfer process for a
386 selection property timeouts and at least one chunk is
387 received. (Emanuele Giaquinta)
388 - work around a memory corruption bug in xorg's XrmSetDatabase (apparently
389 broken since http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/xorg-commit-diffs/2004-March/000239.html).
390 - fix memory corruption bug when custom command sequences bound to keys
391 were injected into an already-full pty input buffer.
392 - gdk-pixbuf is autodetected by default and preferred over libafterimage.
393 - do not prepend a newline to the selection text when the starting line
394 of the selection is not highlighted (Emanuele Giaquinta).
395 - don't swap perl env with real env, save and restore it, just in case
396 we ever get recursive perl invocations. also saves a bit of codespace
397 with gcc.
398 - fix various memory leaks (Emanuele Giaquinta).
399 - fix typo in kIC terminfo capability, debian bug #446444.
400 - document 'thickness' resource.
401 - fix debian bug #504817, to the extent possible.
402 - try to detect byte order at compile time, saves a couple of
403 hundred bytes, if your compiler is smart enough.
404 - add support for previewing the pasted data in confirm-paste
405 (Emanuele Giaquinta).
406 - added "newlines to spaces" option in selection-popup.
407 - actually enabled solaris event ports backend (was disabled by accident).
408 - revert to 38400 baud max., mission accomplished.
409 - no longer create scary "pty_fill: PLEASE REPORT" message, instead,
410 silently drain the input (problem is well understood now).
411 - no longer swallow rob nation's own graphics mode commands.
412
4139.10 Mon Dec 13 17:43:52 CET 2010
414 - the "schmorp=north korea dickey=south korea" release.
415 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: make OSC 20 simpler and more correct
416 (Emanuele Giaquinta).
417 - if options were compiled out, this could lead to the option
418 count to be defined wrongly. This is likely behind the
419 failures with gcc 4.5.
420 - explicitly depend on fontconfig and xrender when xft support
421 is enabled. Although the public Xft api uses types from
422 both, in Xft 2.2.0 these libs are private
423 dependencies only thanks to an idiotic behaviour of
424 pkg-config that was added to workaround cases like this one.
425 Fixes linking when using GNU ld with --as-needed or GNU gold
426 (based on patch by Jan Palus).
427 - fix minor memory leaks in urxvt and urxvtd.
428 - fix regression in urxvtd that prevented options from being correctly
429 set (reported by Michal Vaner).
430 - implement xterm's horribly broken 1005 mouse reporting mode,
431 and an alternative 1015 mode that works in non-utf-8 locales
432 and has fewer limitations.
433 - fix a possible bug where mouse notifications didn't work after
434 startup for the upper left corner.
435 - implement our own pixbuf to pixmap rendering to get rid of
436 dependency on buggy gdk-pixbuf-xlib. Only truecolor visuals
437 are supported (Emanuele Giaquinta).
438 - apply tinting before shading when both operations are requested.
439 Previously they were intermixed when lightening and the result
440 was inaccurate and confusing. Note that now a black tint yields a
441 completely black image, regardless of shading (Emanuele Giaquinta).
442 - avoid spurious redraws of the bg image when bg is transparent or
443 when using 'root' mode (Emanuele Giaquinta).
444 - fix build on XFree86.
445 - dynamically number options according to compiletime requirements.
446 For the extra saved byte. Or so. Yay.
447 - start options at one, not zero. Wastes a bit per terminal. Maybe.
448 saves 50 instruction bytes. Possibly.
