After a tiny bit of a hiatus, we're happy to announce version 9.25 of rxvt-unicode. It can be found at its usual place:
http://dist.schmorp.de/rxvt-unicode/rxvt-unicode-9.25.tar.bz2 http://dist.schmorp.de/rxvt-unicode/rxvt-unicode-9.25.tar.bz2.sig This release is mainly and primarily a bugfix/portability release. The biggest changes are the return of rclock (which was removed in the very early days) under the name of urclock and systemd/nosh socket activation support. Also, perl is now required for the old background resources, as they are now handled in the background extension. If any serious quality issues come up with this release we are prepared to make another release shortly. Otherwise, enjoy! Complete Changes: 9.25 Fri May 14 15:51:36 CEST 2021 - for the 17.5th anniversary, and because many distributions seem to remove rxvt in favour of urxvt, this release resurrects rclock as urclock. - add support for systemd socket-based activation - debian bug #917105, freebsd bug #234276. - do not destruct perl on exit anymore: this might fail for a variety of reasons, and takes unneccessary time. - remove any macros from urxvtperl manpage(s), should fix debian bug 858385. - the old bg image resources are now provided by the background extension, and perl is thus required for bg image support. No configuration change is needed: urxvt autoloads the background ext if any bg image resource/option is present (for OSC sequences to work you need to enable it explicity). The old bg image resources are also now deprecated; users are encouraged to switch to the new bg image interface (see man urxvt-background). - confirm-paste now checks for any ctlchars, not just newlines. - searchable scrollback will now ignore bracketed paste mode sequences (prompted by Daniel Gröber's patch). - drop ISO 2022 locale support. ISO 2022 encodings are not supported in POSIX locales and clash with vt100 charset emulation (the luit program can be used as a substitute). - perl didn't parse rgba colours specified as an array correctly, only allowing 0 and 100% intensity for each component (this affected fill and tint). - when iterating over resources, urxvt will now try to properly handle multipart resources (such as "*background.expr"), for the benefit of autoloading perl extensions. - ESC G (query rxvt graphics mode) has been disabled due to security implications. The rxvt graphics mode was removed in rxvt-unicode 1.5, and no programs relying on being able to query the mode are known. - work around API change breakage in perl 5.28, based on a patch by Roman Bogorodskiy. - improved security: rob nation's (obsolete) graphics mode queries no longer reply with linefeed in secure/default mode. - ISO 8613-3 direct colour SGR sequences (patch by Fengguang Wu). - xterm focus reporting mode (patch by Daniel Hahler). - xterm SGR mouse mode. - implement DECRQM. Patch by Přemysl Eric Janouch. - add missing color index parameter to OSC 4 response. Patch by Přemysl Eric Janouch. - in some window managers, if smart resize was enabled, urxvt erroneously moved the window on font change - awesome bug #532, arch linux bug ##34807 (patch by Uli Schlachter). - fix urxvtd crash when using a background expression. - properly restore colors when using fading and reverse video is enabled while urxvt is focused and then disabled while it is not focused, or vice versa (patch by Daniel Hahler). - fix high memory usage when an extension repeatedly hides and shows an overlay (reported by Marcel Lautenbach). - expose priv_modes member and constants to perl extensions (patch by Rastislav Barlik). - fix a whole slew of const sillyness, unfortunately forced upon us by ISO C++. - update to libecb 0x00010006. - disable all thread support in ecb.h as we presumably don't need it. - slightly improve Makefile source dependencies. - work around bugs in newer Pod::Xhtml versions (flags incorrect formatting codes in xhtml/html sections but does not interpret correct ones). -- The choice of a Deliantra, the free code+content MORPG -----==- _GNU_ http://www.deliantra.net ----==-- _ generation ---==---(_)__ __ ____ __ Marc Lehmann --==---/ / _ \/ // /\ \/ / schm...@schmorp.de -=====/_/_//_/\_,_/ /_/\_\ _______________________________________________ rxvt-unicode mailing list rxvt-unicode@lists.schmorp.de http://lists.schmorp.de/mailman/listinfo/rxvt-unicode
