urxvtd users should rejoice as urxvt-tabbedex v19.21 no longer hangs urxvtc the second time it’s run. (Thanks to lozdreamz for reporting the issue.)

It also comes with various other changes and improvements:

  • Deprecation of tabbedex-rs-prefix continues. Resources with new tabbedex prefix are always preferred and warning is issued if resource with legacy prefix is read. Things should now be clearer for new users who can use tabbedex as documented. Users who haven’t migrated away from tabbed prefix might see warnings but their setup should continue to work.
  • Two new actions, new_tab_before_this and new_tab_after_this, create a new tab and specify where to place it among existing tabs. The actions aren’t bound to any key combination by default.
  • It’s now possible to set font styles of the tab bar elements. By default current tab is now using bold font, bell is indicated by italic which is also used by the title. All of that can be configured via the tabbar-fg and related resources.
  • Timeouts specified in tabbar-timeouts and bell-timeout can now be fractional and are much more accurate than before. Under the hood this also removes superfluous CPU wake ups which should help with computer’s energy consumption.
