51 extensions.
52
539.29 Mon 22 Nov 2021 18:07:14 CET
54 - libptytty (http://dist.schmorp.de/libptytty/) is now a required
55 external dependency.
56 - enable confirm-paste extension by default, can be disabled by e.g.
57 URxvt.perl-ext: -confirm-paste
58 - Key bindings specified with the -keysym option or with resources of
59 the form URxvt*keysym work again. Such resources, as opposed to
60 resources of the form URxvt.keysym, were not officially allowed but
61 accepted, so ignoring them is considered a regression.
62 - new option/resource -rm/rewrapMode, which sets the line rewrap
63 mode to auto, never or always.
64 - new option/resource -dpb/disablePasteBrackets, which can be used to
65 disable bracketed paste mode sequences, as more and more programs
66 abuse these sequences (typically in the name of security, but these
67 sequences are not improving security). Also, bracketed paste mode
68 is now under frills.
69 - add manpage for urclock.
70 - confirm-paste wrongly considered brackets as ctrlchars (patch by
71 Jakub Wilk, debian bug #995244).
72 - if urxvt cannot detect a good estimate for font width (because a font does
73 not contain latin characters at all for example), it will now fall
74 back to xft's max_advance_width, which works well with some fonts. It
75 currently will warn about this.
76 - do not render variation selectors in the default font as boxes, treat
77 them as zero-width characters.
78 - change combining character architecture to allow fonts to handle
79 combining sequences on their own. This could allow future renderers
80 to be more intelligent about these sequences.
81 - use the previous enhancement to allow unicode characters outside of the
82 BMP to be rendered even without --enable-unicode3, as long as an
83 xft with the character is configured.
84 It's recommended to stay with disabled unicode3 even more now.
85 - freetype/xft have been verified to return nonsensical offsets for
86 combining characters. urxvt tries to compensate to some extent,
87 but diacritics will be slightly off in many cases, and far off in
88 some cases (e.g. input mono).
89 - when checking for overlap/careful handling, take non-basefont
90 character shifts into account.
91 - extensions can now request autoloading on OSC and Perl OSC sequences,
92 implement this for the background, clipboard-osc and overlay-osc
93 extensions.
94 - the background extension will now be autoloaded when the OSC 20 or 705
95 sequence is received.
96 - added OSC 776 sequence to return character cell width, height and font
97 ascent, which is useful when using urxvt as slave to calculate window
98 size form or to row/column count.
99 - matcher extension documentation now points out some requirements for
100 regular expressions. the default url matching regex will now try
101 to match IRLs in addition to URLs.
102 - The view_start perl method now scrolls to the bottom also when the
103 argument is greater than 0.
104 - eval scroll actions now scroll to the bottom when scrolling down and
105 there are less lines to scroll than the ones requested (reported by
106 Stephen Talley).
107 - allow perl-ext and perl-ext-common to override autoloaded extensions.
108 this allows tabbed to disable itself in subtabs, avoiding recursive
109 loading.
110 - update precompose table to unicode 13.0.
111 - update charset conversion tables to perl 5.32 (this only affected
112 cs_koi8_u_from_unicode).
113 - unicode characters > 0x100000 were not handled correctly w.r.t.
114 font rendering.
115 - replace bitstream vera by dejavu sans, as it has replaced the former
116 almost everywhere.
117 - urxvt will now try tic -x first and only fall back to tic without -x
118 when tic -x fails.
119 - fix urclock not erasing the old date on the clock face, causing
120 overdraw, plus a host of other small fixes and improvements.
121 - shave off over 1K of code size from urclock by replacing the sine table
122 with a slightly less accurate fixed point approximation.
123 - do not specify indentation with =over in pod, this is no longer
124 needed with semi-modern pod tools and gives the formatter more
125 stylistic freedom.
126 - background extension did not set the "size-sensitive" flag
127 when repeat mode wasn't normal.
128 - extensions are now subjected to "use strict 'subs'".
129 - avoid crashing when xft successfully opens a font but then somehow
130 can't lock the face.
131 - locale_decode/encode api methods now pass through undef unchanged.
132 - fix undefined behaviour in the perl hook function, as diagnosed by clang.
133
1349.26 Fri May 14 19:14:14 CEST 2021
135 - ev_iouring.c was wrongly required during compilation, and wrongly
136 not packaged.
137
1389.25 Fri May 14 15:51:36 CEST 2021
139 - for the 17.5th anniversary, and because many distributions seem to
140 remove rxvt in favour of urxvt, this release resurrects rclock as
141 urclock.
142 - add support for systemd socket-based activation - debian bug #917105,
143 freebsd bug #234276.
144 - do not destruct perl on exit anymore: this might fail for a variety of
145 reasons, and takes unnecessary time.
146 - remove any macros from urxvtperl manpage(s), should fix debian
147 bug 858385.
148 - the old bg image resources are now provided by the background
149 extension, and perl is thus required for bg image support. No
150 configuration change is needed: urxvt autoloads the background
151 ext if any bg image resource/option is present (for OSC sequences to
152 work you need to enable it explicitly). The old bg image
153 resources are also now deprecated; users are encouraged to
154 switch to the new bg image interface (see man urxvt-background).
155 - confirm-paste now checks for any ctlchars, not just newlines.
156 - searchable scrollback will now ignore bracketed paste mode sequences
157 (prompted by Daniel Gröber's patch).
158 - drop ISO 2022 locale support. ISO 2022 encodings are not supported in
159 POSIX locales and clash with vt100 charset emulation (the luit
160 program can be used as a substitute).
161 - perl didn't parse rgba colours specified as an array correctly,
162 only allowing 0 and 100% intensity for each component (this affected
163 fill and tint).
164 - when iterating over resources, urxvt will now try to properly handle
165 multipart resources (such as "*background.expr"), for the benefit
166 of autoloading perl extensions.
167 - ESC G (query rxvt graphics mode) has been disabled due to security
168 implications. The rxvt graphics mode was removed in rxvt-unicode 1.5,
169 and no programs relying on being able to query the mode are known.
170 - work around API change breakage in perl 5.28, based on a patch by
171 Roman Bogorodskiy.
172 - improved security: rob nation's (obsolete) graphics mode queries
173 no longer reply with linefeed in secure/default mode.
174 - ISO 8613-3 direct colour SGR sequences (patch by Fengguang Wu).
175 - xterm focus reporting mode (patch by Daniel Hahler).
176 - xterm SGR mouse mode.
177 - implement DECRQM. Patch by Přemysl Eric Janouch.
178 - add missing color index parameter to OSC 4 response. Patch
179 by Přemysl Eric Janouch.
180 - in some window managers, if smart resize was enabled, urxvt
181 erroneously moved the window on font change - awesome bug
182 #532, arch linux bug ##34807 (patch by Uli Schlachter).
183 - fix urxvtd crash when using a background expression.
184 - properly restore colors when using fading and reverse video
185 is enabled while urxvt is focused and then disabled while it
186 is not focused, or vice versa (patch by Daniel Hahler).
187 - fix high memory usage when an extension repeatedly hides and
188 shows an overlay (reported by Marcel Lautenbach).
189 - expose priv_modes member and constants to perl extensions
190 (patch by Rastislav Barlik).
191 - fix a whole slew of const sillyness, unfortunately forced upon
192 us by ISO C++.
193 - update to libecb 0x00010006.
194 - disable all thread support in ecb.h as we presumably don't need it.
195 - slightly improve Makefile source dependencies.
196 - work around bugs in newer Pod::Xhtml versions (flags incorrect formatting codes
197 in xhtml/html sections but does not interpret correct ones).
198
1999.22 Sat Jan 23 21:07:33 CET 2016
200 - NOTICE: this release updates terminfo.
201 - add terminfo capabilities for various ctrl and shift-ctrl key variants
202 (patch by Sebastian Schmidt).
203 - fix longstanding core font encoding bug where some character
204 ranges could not be mapped from unicode to the font: affected
205 encodings are big5, gb2312, iso8859-8 (hebrew), jis0201 and
206 ksc5601 (reported by Mikachu).
207 - fix crash when the number of columns is 1 and a 0 width character is inserted
208 (reported by Kuang-che Wu).
209 - fix a crash when parsing an invalid color specification (reported by Kuang-che Wu).
210 - fix a buffer overflow in font name parser (reported by Kuang-che Wu).
211 - do not start blinking cursor if the window is unfocused (reported by
212 Devin J. Pohly).
213 - change the width of underline and i-beam cursor to 2 pixels (based on
214 a patch by Omar Sandoval).
215 - add pointerShape resource to change the mouse pointer shape
216 (based on a patch by Brian Watson).
217 - a keysym resource for a key which is already bound to an
218 action now properly rebinds the key.
219 - do not report mouse motion events if Shift is active (patch by Daniel Hahler).
220 - put the alpha component last in responses to OSC color queries
221 (patch by Benjamin Herr).
222 - the key_press hook is now invoked before processing the
223 event, as documented. This change was done in 9.21 but not
224 announced and fixes debian bugs #511377, #531751 and red hat
225 bug #1105069. Note that this change breaks a few scripts,
226 such as mark-yank-urls, which rely on the previous buggy
227 behaviour that urxvt processes the event (in particular
228 keysym bindings) before invoking the hook.
229 - the tabbed extension now properly refreshes the active tab
230 on a key press when the mouse pointer is outside the terminal
231 window.
232 - add 'lookup_keysym' perl method to lookup the action bound
233 to a key combination.
234 - a key combination bound to 'matcher:select' can now be used
235 to cycle through the matches in matcher.
236 - change perl integer accessors (->width et al.) into mutators.
237
2389.21 Wed Dec 31 14:50:03 CET 2014
239 - the "moa redraw 8-bit british vintage colour management" release.
240 - NOTICE: this release updates terminfo.
241 - fix pixel droppings on overdraw when a secondary core font has the
242 same height but different ascent.
243 - implement cvvis in terminfo as blinking cursor, to distinguish it
244 from cnorm (emacs uses cvvis which is commonly a blinking cursor).
245 - when xft support was compiled in, colour queries erroneously returned
246 premultiplied values, this also affected internal queries, for example
247 when calculating faded colour. alpha is now divided out when possible,
248 which is more correct but loses colour resolution.
249 - add DECSCUSR xterm extension to set the cursor to a vertical bar.
250 - add 'extension:string' action, and associated on_action perl
251 hook, for keysym resources that invokes actions provided by
252 perl extensions. The 'perl:string' action and
253 on_user_command hook are deprecated but still supported.
254 - add 'builtin-string' action for keysym resources that restores string
255 mappings for keys that have predefined actions in urxvt.
256 - add -k option to urxvtc for killing the daemon process.
257 - document urxvtd's -e/--eval option that was implemented in 9.16,
258 but not documented.
259 - add -dockapp option to make the wm treat urxvt as a dockapp.
260 - add -mc option and multiClickTime resource to set the maximum time
261 between multi-click select events (patch by Joe Peterson).
262 - new 'eval' extension to evaluate arbitrary perl code with keysym
263 bindings. The extension also provides methods that implement basic
264 actions, such as pasting selections and scrolling.
265 - the macosx-clipboard and macosx-clipboard-native extensions have been removed.
266 - kuake extension now uses the kuake.hotkey resource to specify the hotkey.
267 - new 'matcher:select' mode of matcher to iterate over the matches with the keyboard.
268 - the 'matcher:list' feature of matcher now honours the launcher
269 associated to a matched pattern.
270 - speed-up matcher underlining on very long lines (reported by Edward Z. Yang).
271 - fix up/down commands of searchable-scrollback so that they always move
272 to the previous/next logical line with a match, if any.
273 - searchable-scrollback resource has been deprecated (use keysym instead).
274 - extension parameter passing is deprecated (use resource mechanism instead).
275 - upgrade to GPLv3 (see COPYING).
276 - compile out of the box on Solaris 10, again.
277 - fix height and position of the stippled area in next scrollbar (patch
278 by Thomas Otto).
279 - fix off-by-one bug causing the iso14755 window not to jump out of the
280 way properly.
281 - fix crash that may happen if a lib to which urxvt is linked to calls setenv.
282 - fix memory leak in special_{encode,decode} perl methods.
283 - fix refresh bug that occurs when reverse video is set on a cell
284 containing a space and with the same bg and fg colour, red hat bug
285 #830236.
286 - fix crash that may happen if an x error is received after a terminal
287 window/popup has been destroyed already.
288 - removed superfluous 0 digit from sgr terminfo sequence.
289 - greatly improve colour allocation on colour-starved pseudocolour
290 displays to avoid read-write cells instead of simply failing
291 (this is only relevant for antique 8bpp frame buffers).
292 - do not free fade colours when not doing fading (this is likely
293 only relevant for antique 8bpp frame buffers).
294 - do not specialcase 2 or 4 colour visuals, leading to
295 simpler and actually more correct code.
296 - hopefully no longer leak colours on !truecolour visuals.
297 - use consistent method names (scr_recolour => scr_recolor).
298 - use simpler (but slightly less bogus) formula for nearest
299 colour choice (this is likely only relevant for antique 8bpp
300 frame buffers).
301 - remove fallback behaviour when initialising colours - the
302 behaviour was inconsistent between startup vs. later and
303 was only effective when valid colours couldn't be allocated.
304
3059.20 Sat Apr 26 16:22:27 CEST 2014
306 - (libptytty) fix bug that prevented urxvtd from writing utmp
307 entries when using --fork (reported by Ryan Kavanagh).
308 - security bugfix: window property values could be queried even
309 in secure mode (reported by Conor McCarthy).
310 - fix build when perl is enabled and fading is disabled.
311 - fix regression that broke continuous scrolling when pressing
312 and holding the scrollbar up or down button, gentoo bug #493992.
313 - increase the maximum length of a command sequence to 32k bytes,
314 to allow longer OSC sequences (previous limit was 2k).
315 - new Ctrl-Meta-c and Ctrl-Meta-v bindings to interact with
316 the CLIPBOARD selection.
317 - new extension: selection-to-clipboard.
318 - the extensions macosx-clipboard and macosx-clipboard-native
319 are deprecated and will be removed in the next release.
320 Support for the clipboard on OS X can be more generally
321 enabled by setting the XQuartz preference to sync the OS X
322 pasteboard and the X11 clipboard.
323
3249.19 Sun Oct 27 17:16:07 CET 2013
325 - work around perl 5.18.0 breakage in tabbed extension
326 (reported by Karol Blazewicz) and in pod (Dominic Hargreaves).
327 - fix regression that caused the double-click word selection to
328 erroneously include a tab on the left of the selected word.
329 - implement FOCUS variable and focus_fade function in background
330 expression, to allow focus-sensitive background images.
331 - add support for the set cursor style (DECSCUSR) control
332 function.
333 - honour cursorColor also when the cursor style is underline.
334 - export some Color_xxx constants to Perl.
335
3369.18 Sun Mar 24 15:33:35 CET 2013
337 - fix regression that caused artifacts on resize.
338
3399.17 Fri Mar 1 13:46:08 CET 2013
340 - add shade operator in background perl extension.
341 - avoid starting or ending the selection in the middle of wide
342 characters to avoid artifacts (reported by Tiago Resende).
343 - fix artifacts that may occur if the character in the cursor
344 cell has width > 1 (reported by Tiago Resende).
345 - fix regression that causes artifacts on scrolling if
346 saveLines is 0 and the window is resized (reported by Bert
347 Münnich).
348 - fix build when perl is enabled and pixbuf and transparency
349 are disabled.
350
3519.16 Thu Dec 27 11:56:43 CET 2012
352 - the "so much new stuff your eyes will pop out" release.
353 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: renamed urlLauncher resource to url-launcher.
354 - fix processing of DEC private mode save sequences (patch by Patrick
355 Hemmer).
356 - perl extensions now have their own manpages, installed as urxvt-NAME(1),
357 e.g. urxvt-background(1) - see urxvt-extensions(1) for a list.
358 - fix disabling of cursor blink with the option-popup menu (based on a
359 patch by Jan Larres).
360 - the font height is not augmented anymore when lineSpace is non zero.
361 - fix "new pagemap" vs. "delete pagemap" mismatch ([] vs. non-[]),
362 as diagnosed by clang.
363 - fix height mismatch between active and inactive cursor when
364 lineSpace is non zero (patch by Stanislav Seletskiy).
365 - make it compile with LOCAL_X_IS_UNIX again (reported by
366 nickfailure@gmail.com).
367 - completely redone background pixmap support - users can now
368 specify arbitrary expressions (And programs) that calculate
369 new terminal backgrounds. see the urxvt-background manpage
370 for details.
371 - xrender is now required for background pixmap support.
372 - perl extensions can now provide commandline switches and resources
373 which show up in -help etc.
374 - iso14755 51 mode window now displays row and column.
375 - implement a -visual switch and move that and -depth to frills, also
376 warn when we can't get the requested visual.
377 - new env variable: RXVT_PERL_LIB.
378 - allocate all screen memory in one go and let the virtual memory
379 subsystem sort it out. this simplifies code, improves access
380 locality, saves a bit of ram and makes things a bit faster, too.
381 - remove support for libafterimage.
382 - update to CVS version of libev, for a whopping 11kb size decrease.
383 - do not ship yet another copy of ecb.h, use the one in libev or
384 libptytty instead.
385 - selectively mark some methods as cache-hot/cache cold, which
386 might speed up execution but definitely decreases codesize.
387 - Fix regression that prevented the scrollbar trough color
388 from being applied (reported by Derek B. Noonburg).
389 - Fix the scrollbar size for rxvt style (patch by Mark Robinson).
390
3919.15 Sat Jan 21 13:36:56 CET 2012
392 - remove "using namespace std" because clang erroneously
393 thinks thats an error.
394 - finding a matching font (e.g. bold version of the base font)
395 was broken (reported by Eamon Walker).
396 - fix parsing of bg image styles. They really work now.
397 - fix blurring of bg image borders when using xrender.
398 - fix xrender blur on common xrender implementations that do
399 not behave correctly when the same pixmap is used as source
400 and destination in composite operations.
401 - fix regression that caused tabbed to compute the wrong size
402 for tabs.
403 - allow again an empty suffix in a keysym list spec (patch by
404 Sung Pae).
405 - unsupported support for sun studio's CC added.
406 - fix -C option on solaris.
407
4089.14 Wed Dec 21 18:40:33 CET 2011
409 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: the urxvtd default socket path is now
410 $HOME/.urxvt/urxvtd-<nodename>.
411 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: the "list" keysym expansion now requires
412 loading of the "keysym-list" perl extension.
413 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: A scale value of 0 in the bg image
414 geometry no longer enables tiling, so as to make it possible
415 to disable both scaling and tiling.
416 - overhaul of the bg image operations. The old operations have
417 been deprecated in favour of elementary operations and
418 styles built on top of the new operations and scale/position
419 settings. (Emanuele Giaquinta).
420 - support for libafterimage is deprecated and will be removed
421 in the next release.
422 - fix a crash caused by selection_check not properly resetting
423 out-of-bounds mark values (can happen when extending a selection
424 while scrolling up in curses programs for example).
425 - do not move the selection when scrolling up and the selection is
426 outside the scrolling region (Emanuele Giaquinta).
427 - fix display of bold bright black (reported by Ben Winslow).
428 - fix memory leak when urgentOnBell is set (patch by Nathaniel
429 Filardo).
430 - fix a redraw bug that occurs when a bg pixmap is set and the
431 wm does not honour the size hints set by urxvt. Now urxvt
432 forces the size of the terminal window to be a multiple of
433 the cell size.
434 - sanitise the argument of SD / SU sequences. Fixes a possible
435 crash when the argument is big enough, red hat bug #711137
436 (Emanuele Giaquinta).
437 - correctly split long lines when scrolling.
438 - urxvt now looks for perl extensions also in $HOME/.urxvt/ext.
439 - add bell-command perl extension to execute a command when a
440 bell event occurs (Ryan Kavanagh).
441 - add set_urgency perl binding to set/reset the urgency hint.
442 - consume button release event in matcher (exg).
443 - keyboard accessible list of recent matches in matcher
444 (Bob Farrell).
445 - properly process 'keysym' sequences in tabbed when using
446 'focus follows mouse' and the focus is on the main window
447 but not on the active terminal window (patch by Martin
448 Pohlack).
449 - support for the freedesktop startup-notification protocol (patch by
450 Michael Stapelberg).
451 - the direction of VPR and VPB commands was reversed.
452 - fix alignment of inherited root pixmap when it is a different size
453 than the root window and the terminal window is off the left or top
454 edge (Mikachu).
455 - make $self visible in "eval perl expression" popup action, also

461 - fix regression in processing of SelectionNotify events.
462 urxvt would fail to request a selection if the owner did not
463 support the UTF8_STRING target.
464 - fix rendering of double width chars in certain circumstances, more
465 likely to happen if urxvt is compiled with 256 colors support as
466 urxvt runs out of fonts much earlier then. Fixes gentoo bug #358151
467 (Emanuele Giaquinta).
468 - restore support for 'list' syntax in keysym resources (requested by Sung Pae).
469 - always premultiply colour values - while this increases differences between
470 core fonts and xft, it is "more correct" in practical situations.
471 - disable PTYTTY_REENTRANT option - not needed for urxvt and saves a bit of code.
472 - remove lucidatypewriter from the list of fallback fonts, it was the only
473 non-xft non-cellfont in the list anyway.

483 such as syncterm (patch by Marcin Cieslak).
484 - fix crash when the window is resized and the overlay is active
485 (Emanuele Giaquinta, reported by Ryan Kavanagh).
486 - match character-wise rather than byte-wise in selection
487 extension again. perl 5.8.9+ is required to avoid extreme
488 slowdowns. Fixes debian bugs #523072, #616463.
489 - fix a possible crash if the INCR transfer process for a
490 selection property timeouts and at least one chunk is
491 received. (Emanuele Giaquinta)
492 - work around a memory corruption bug in xorg's XrmSetDatabase (apparently
493 broken since http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/xorg-commit-diffs/2004-March/000239.html).
494 - fix memory corruption bug when custom command sequences bound to keys
495 were injected into an already-full pty input buffer.
496 - gdk-pixbuf is autodetected by default and preferred over libafterimage.
497 - do not prepend a newline to the selection text when the starting line
498 of the selection is not highlighted (Emanuele Giaquinta).

506 - try to detect byte order at compile time, saves a couple of
507 hundred bytes, if your compiler is smart enough.
508 - add support for previewing the pasted data in confirm-paste
509 (Emanuele Giaquinta).
510 - added "newlines to spaces" option in selection-popup.
511 - actually enabled solaris event ports backend (was disabled by accident).
512 - revert to 38400 baud max., mission accomplished.
513 - no longer create scary "pty_fill: PLEASE REPORT" message, instead,
514 silently drain the input (problem is well understood now).
515 - no longer swallow rob nation's own graphics mode commands.
