Patch #367 - 2021/03/26
-add OSC 22 to allow programs to select different pointer cursor at runtime.
-change configuration for no-return functions to use _Noreturn when it is
available, because clang --analyze does not properly handle the gcc noreturn
attribute.
-add cursorTheme resource to provide a way to enable or disable the cursor
theme feature.
-modified CopyWait event retries to use shorter sleeps, to improve
responsiveness (tmux #2556).
-improve quoting/escaping in demo-scripts per shellcheck.
-add resizeByPixel resource, to permit disabling window manager resizing-hints
(patch by Tim Oehl).
-corrected printOptsImmediate handling of alternate-screen (report by Abhijit
Dasgupta).
-update sample terminfo to more closely match ncurses.
-add/improve limit-checks for Xlib calls (report by Roman Fiedler).
-fix a typo in the help-message (report by Tomas Korbar).
Patch #366 - 2021/02/10
correct a compiler-warning fix in patch #352 which allowed sign-extension of coordinate values (report by "CismonX").
correct upper-limit for selection buffer, accounting for combining characters (report/testcase by Tavis Ormandy).
with alwaysHighlight true, xterm does not properly track focus. The screen->select FOCUS flag remains always on, which prevents bellIsUrgent from working, as the urgent WM_HINT flag is only set in setXUrgency() when the window is not focused. Fix this by updating screen->select in unselectwindow() regardless of the value of always_highlight (patch by Jiri Bohac).
improve fix for interaction between SRM and ENQ (report by Grant Taylor).
build-fix for --with-Xaw3dxft, needed when --with-toolbar is omitted (report by Jimmy Olgeni, Emanuel Haupt).
Patch #365 - 2021/02/03
-Amend fix for “word” selection in patch #364 to limit that to the insert
selectable action, which reads data from the screen. This restores the
interactive behavior where double-clicking on a “word” would make subsequent
selection extensions by words as well as suppressing some boundary-checks
(report by David Wolfskill, FreeBSD #253225).
Patch #364 - 2021/02/02
-Add -fc option.
-Correct/improve limit-checks for SRM versus ENQ from patch #344 (report by
Tom Szilagyi).
-Enable XftFont resource in Xaw3dxft configuration (patch by Tavis Ormandy).
-Improve quoting/escaping in build-scripts per shellcheck.
-Add libpcre2-posix to the packages tested for --with-pcre2 option, needed with
Fedora (report by Tomas Korbar).
-Correct a typo in manual page, and note that KeepClipboard may not be
compiled-in (report/patch by Sean C Farley).
-Corrected boundary-checks for “word” selection used in onNClicks resources
(report by Tavis Ormandy).
-Update to autoconf-2.52-20210101, to improve shellcheck warnings.
-Improve configure check for desktop categories.
Patch #363 - 2020/12/26
-disable groff hyphenation in generated html when using man2html.
-change SCS “&4” Cyrillic to non-NRCS, per VT520 manual.
-amend fix for SCS in patch #198 to remove DEL rather than converting it to a
space (report by Thomas Wolff).
-modify state transitions for selecting character sets to eliminate an ambiguity
between the “A” used in VT220 versus VT320.
-improve error recovery when selecting characters by resetting to US ASCII when
no suitable encoding is found, e.g., attempting to use an NRCS sequence when
NRCS is not enabled.
-turn off hyphenation in “.txt” conversion, prompted by groff changes.
-add VT5xx ISO Latin-2 (prompted by discussion with Thomas Wolff).
-amend change from patch #361 to event-handling in CopyWait to handle
active-icon as a special case (Debian #975687).
-add call to loadColorTable to get the visual information needed to decode BE
RGBA32 color format (patch by Leandro Lupori).
-modify the resource-parsing for disallowedPasteControls and similar lists of
names/numbers to recognize “~;” (tilde) for cancelling a given name/number.
-add ENQ, EOT and NUL to default for disallowedPasteControls.
-change default for disallowedPasteControls to omit the tab character
(suggested by Harald Dunkel).
-fix swapped height/width in regisScreenSize and maxGraphicSize resources using
"auto" value, from patch #314 (report by Anton Lavrentiev)
-revise patch #362 change for shift-modifier versus mouse protocol and
select/paste by adding resource shiftEscape, which can be enabled via a control
sequence (prompted by discussion with Matthijs van Duin).
-simplify/improve ifdef in trace code for using a separate set of files for each
run of xterm.
-add options -r and -t to vttests/query-color.pl to show the 6-digit RGB code
and actual colors.
-add nel to xterm-basic terminfo.
-alter vttests/modify-keys.pl to omit HTML reference links to the modified-keys
table where no keycode was available.
Patch #362 - 2020/11/11
-cleanup of calls to free, removing checks for null (Walter Harms).
-improved mouse-button reporting (prompted by discussion with Stephane Chazelas)
-narrow the scope of the change for shift-key in patch #361 to make it apply
only when the modifyOtherKeys resource is set to 2 (i.e., “program mode”).
Also, when checking the shift-key, ignore modifiers other than shift,
control and “meta”
-use the alt/meta modifier information obtained in VTInitModifiers to
replace a hard-coded mod1 used to detect “Meta” for mouse-button responses.
-reduce SIGWINCH's sent to the client by filtering out duplicates.
-improve display when scaleHeight is greater than 1:
-the text-cursor is vertically-centered on the current line, rather than
only extending below the current line (report by Manu Chaturvedi).
-the built-in line-drawing characters extend to the scaled cell-height.
-fill-in special case for motion-events to match the changes for shift-key in
pointer-button events from patch #361.
Patch #361 - 2020/10/14
-treat the return value of strerror as readonly (patch by Philipp Klaus Krause).
-modify event-handling in CopyWait to work around hanging while writing large
amounts of text to an active icon and at the same time iconifying/deiconifying
(report by Dave Kemper).
-initialize double-buffer for active-icon window.
-improve manual page description of scrollbar resources
(report by Brian Lindholm).
-correct ifdef for menu entry for active-icon, when initializing it with toolbar
configuration.
-add preprocessor option to makefile to set internal definition of pixmaps
directory to match the install-configuration (FreeBSD #250036).
-cleanup of calls to free, removing checks for null (Walter Harms).
-add fallback actions pointer-button and pointer-motion which handle events for
the mouse control-sequences protocol if the select-related translations are
omitted with *omitTranslation:select (prompted by discussion with "Ergus")
-amend rule for using shift-key to override mouse-
Patch #360 - 2020/09/20
-mention decGraphicsID in ctlseqs.ms (suggested by Thomas Wolff).
-modify pixel-coordinate mouse reponse to use as origin the VT100-window rather
than the underlying widget, which includes the scrollbar
(report by Thomas Wolff).
-add configure option --disable-print-graphics (Ross Combs).
-add test_ptydata to make check rule.
-minor fixes for ctlseqs.ms (report by Jean-Marc Bourguet).

DESTDIR if followed by an explicit --dir (report by Sven Joachim).
Patch #359 - 2020/08/17
-add special case in WriteText to allow colors 8-15 to -override colorBDMode
(patch by Ingo Brückl).

UTF-8 sequences (adapted from patch by Dan Gohman).
-improve computation for the number of lines needed to scroll-up a SIXEL graphic
(report/patch by Ben Wong).
-correct manpage description for default value of disallowWindowOps from changes
in xterm #331 (patch by Ben Wong).
-correct a loop starting-point in refresh_graphics from optimization in patch #358
changes (report by Ben Wong).
-add a new mouse mode 1016, which uses the same format as mode 1006, but sends
the mouse's position in pixels (suggested by Igor van den Hoven).
-fix an issue from patch #338 changes where only the first selection buffer
specified in the request would be updated using OSC 52 (patch by Michael Gulick).
-modify makefile/scripts to allow DESTDIR to prefix the target directory for
desktop-file-install (report by Fred Heitkamp).
-enable SIXEL feature by default.
-update config.guess, config.sub
Note: sixel-graphics should now be enabled by default.

encountered, to guard against malformed or nonstandard sequences
(report by Bram Moolenaar).
-modify DECERA color for consistency with other erasures/clearing
(report by Thomas Wolff).
-ECH should not be masked by DECSCA (report by Thomas Wolff).
-extend DECFRA and REP to accept any graphic character rather than just

/colon separators which are implied by ECMA-48.
-update sample terminfo to reflect the documentation improvements.
-update description of 88/256/direct color in ctlseqs.ms to point out that using
semicolons is a deprecated legacy feature, and standard terminal applications
should use colons (prompted by discussion with Bram Moolenaar).
-modify configure-check for tgetent to conditionally include termcap.h, enabling
configuration using clang's pedantic-errors option (report by Dennis Clarke).
See Other Compatibility in ncurses' curs_termcap(3X).

scaleHeight and faceSize settings do not depend on locale (Debian #820803).
-improve DA/DA2 response by ensuring that the decTerminalID maps to one of the
known identifiers, as well as providing DA2 response for VT241 and VT382.
-terminfo improvements:
-add (my) comments from ncurses which explain the keypad layouts.
-add vt52+keypad from ncurses
-use improved xm example for xterm+x11mouse, xterm+sm+1006 from ncurses 6.2

files were created in patch #283.
Patch #353 - 2020/02/01
-amend change in patch #352 for button-events to fix a case where some followup
events were not processed soon enough (report/patch by Jimmy Aguilar Mena).
-handle MappingNotify X event, to improve recovery when switching keyboard
configurations using xkbcomp (prompted by discussion with Frank Mosch, Debian
#661295). There is more work needed here, possibly in the X libraries.
improve discussion of mouse-mode in ctlseqs.ms (suggested by Igor van den Hoven).
-further improve checks for Xft max-advance-width to take into account fonts

for these checks (reports by Yuri Pankov, Frank Mosch).
-fix a few spelling errors reported by codespell (report by Jens Schleusener).
-modify run-tic.sh to prefer development version of ncurses since changes to

(Debian #880407, adapted from patch by Vincent Lefèvre).
-add a table to the manual page description of forceBoxChars to alert the reader
to the special characters aside from line-drawing which are drawn directly
when this resource is set (Debian #931305).
-improve checkXft logic which attempts to detect fonts whose max-advance-width
is inconsistent with the actual glyph widths. For some fonts, it is necessary to
check additional characters (report/analysis by Jan Engelhardt).
-improve configure-checks for X headers and libraries on recent MacOS, which has
moved those files under /usr/X11.
-improve portability of iconify/deiconify feature by taking into account some
window managers which manipulate the EWMH _NET_WM_STATE property,
adding/removing _NET_WM_STATE_HIDDEN rather than actually minimizing the window
(pon with Jörg Breitbart).
-improve workaround from patch #287 fo postponing the extra request for minimizing the window to the key by itself can generate button-events
(report/analysis by Maal page (patch by Larry Hynes).

Patch #344 - 2019/02/12
* add ASCII escape to default for disallowedPasteControls (prompted
by discussion with Martin Hostettler).
* fix typo in ctlseqs.ms (Robert Ross).
* implement DEC Cyrillic NRCS (based on screenshots of vttest
provided by Markus Schmidt).
* correct control returning sixel geometry maximum versus actual size
(patch by Ben Wong).
* improve manual page for resize to clarify that resize does not
execute the shell commands which it generates for setting
environment variables.
* improve memory-management for parser, to handle response strings
that might occur with ENQ or when SRM mode is active (patch by
Martin Hostettler).
* change Comment text in uxterm's desktop file to work around a
limitation of GNOME's GIO application (issue #940). The
documentation reads:
Searches desktop files for ones that match search_string.
The return value is an array of strvs. Each strv contains a list of
applications that matched search_string with an equal score. The
outer list is sorted by score so that the first strv contains the
best-matching applications, and so on. The algorithm for determining
matches is undefined and may change at any time.
* a check of zIconBeep resource was removed in double-buffer fix in
patch #334. That is used to decide whether to handle struct-notify
events. When xterm does handle the events, it may negotiate a new
window-size with the window manager. In that case, the limitResize
resource setting limited the new window-size to the screen-size.
Amended that by eliminating the limit for this special case when
double-buffer is configured, and restoring the check for zIconBeep
when double-buffer is not configured (Debian #919475).
* disallow recursion which could happen if a user configures the
answerbackString resource with the ENQ code and experiments with
that code when SRM is enabled (report by by Martin Hostettler).
* add remaining credits in COPYING file.
* modify run-tic.sh to check if it is using an older version of
ncurses which does not support large terminal descriptions, and if
so, remove a non-essential feature to keep within the 4096-byte
legacy limit.
Patch #330 - 2017/06/20
• updates for ReGIS (Ross Combs):
□ remove redundant text command error check which broke T(B) and T(E).
□ retain the loading alphabet number across multiple “L” commands.
□ add S(T) delay handler.
□ fix some color handling error messages.
□ add stubbed-out macrograph handling.
□ use fragment_remaining() and fragment_consumed() instead of manually
checking position / length in various places.
□ rename some local variables in string / extent / option parsing
□ wrap some long lines.
□ move macrograph command handling out of the top-level.
• add a summary of the italic fonts loaded to -report-fonts option.
• modify the font-lookup for italics to allow for “-i-” if no match is found
with slant “-o-” (prompted by patch by Ben Wong).
• change default values for mkSamplePass and mkSampleSize to reflect
generally-improved locale support in various operating systems (FreeBSD #
219800).
• modify wcwidth.c to return -1 for non-Unicode values, and adjust a couple
of blocks to better match assumptions about ambiguous-width characters in
other implementations. Also modify wcwidth.c to support configurable
soft-hyphen, so there is no drawback to using this version rather than a
system wcwidth.
• amend change made in patch #328 for cursor-visibility to handle case where
an application is updating the reverse-video state (FreeBSD #219800).
• update tables of combining and ambiguous-width characters in wcwidth.c
based on Unicode 10.0.0.
• build-fix for --enable-sixel-graphics without --enable-regis-graphics
(reports by Sven Joachim, FreeBSD #219945).
Patch #329 - 2017/06/12
* add control sequences for reading the Sixel and ReGIS graphics
sizes (suggested by Ben Wong).
* add a workaround for wcwidth returning -1 for characters which
should have been printable (FreeBSD #219800).
* fix a bug in font initialization from patch #328 (FreeBSD #219800).
* fix a special case in HideCursor which assigned a bold font to the
slot used for normal font in changes for italics in patch #307
(Debian #858304).
* updates for ReGIS (Ross Combs):
+ Strings specified with no command are used as "comments".
Print these in the log when tracing.
+ Catch attempts to use "alternate display" mode (AKA "blink")
from the GIGI, but do not implement it.
+ The T(M) command should only multiply the height by 10, not
20.
+ Make the S(E) command reset more state than just the screen
contents.
+ Remove two rotation variables which were only being printed.
+ Numerous minor fixes and comment updates in the R command.
+ Unknown R command option names trigger an empty response.
+ Fix the output position after printing rotated text (it was
missing the the sign before).
+ Fix the position change with pixelvectors and rotated text
(the rotation transform was not being applied).
+ Update the TODO list and remove a verification FIXME (slanted
text positioning is correct as is).
+ Emulate the approximately 1.4x enlargement for text which
isn't rotated at right angles.
+ Only update the color planes specified in the plane mask (the
W command's F option).
* fix a bug introduced by the changes to font information in patch
#328. When processing the "checkfont" option of the locale
resource, the program referred to the request data, to an array
which was only allocated in the new/result widget (report by H
Merijn Brand).
* fix a missing assignment initialization to make the utf8 resource
control whether escape sequences to enable/disable UTF-8 mode are
allowed.
Patch #328 - 2017/06/01
* revise parser for charClass resource, making these improvements:
+ accept octal and hexadecimal values
+ allow embedded whitespace
+ allow the class after colon to be optional, e.g., to clear
class settings for a range of characters.
* add command-line option -report-charclass.
* fix most lintian warnings about test-package
* add eraseSavedLines resource.
* document DECSED 3 in ctlseqs.ms (report by Ben Longmans).
* improve integration between configure-events and updates for
reported screensize, in particular when switching between vt100 and
tek4014 modes.
* modify selection-highlighting of reverse-video text to keep that
distinct, e.g., by reversing the selection foreground and
background colors as one would expect. This fixes a "useless" case
in the description of highlightColorMode.
* improve fix for Debian #759734, addressing a case where non-colored
cursor would be invisible against reverse-video (see patch #311).
* updates for ReGIS (Ross Combs):
+ the "H" option of the "T" command should multiply by 10, not
20.
+ display unknown glyphs as a solid block.
+ given a succession of text-direction options, use the last.
+ fix the direction of ReGIS slanted text so that negative
values produce oblique output .
+ fix the ReGIS text direction option to only rotate characters
when no following size option is used.
* update terminfo to better match corresponding entries in ncurses,
e.g., u8 pattern to match the VT220, VT420, etc., primary
responses, as well as adding smxx and rmxx.
* fixes from Jörg Sommer:
+ corrected a trace-message regarding maximum graphics-size; it
used the similar ReGIS maximum size which might not be
configured.
+ in do_select_regex, clear selection if there is no match. If
the regex does not match anything around the cursor, the
selection returned must be empty, otherwise the whole line is
treated as a match. This way the command defined by
exec-selectable will not be executed if there is no match.
+ modify limit in do_select_regex to include the character at
the cursor in the match, making it easier to type something
and then hit the key to trigger exec-selectable.
+ If exec-selectable or insert-selection is triggered by a mouse
button click, the position of the mouse pointer should be
used. This makes it easier to address any position on the
window and it makes it possible to use the mouse, e.g., for
applications such as mutt where you cannot move the cursor.
* modify DECRC to save/restore xterm's last-column flag used to
control wrapping behavior rather than manipulating DECAWM
(report/analysis by Mattias Engdegård).
* add configure option --enable-terminfo-env to use the value set by
--with-own-terminfo for the $TERMINFO environment variable. That
variable was set automatically for HPUX, but would be useful in
other systems, e.g., for Solaris (request by Jeff Wieland).
* fix a race condition when setting up a signal handler to timeout if
opening /dev/tty hangs (patch by Tobias Stoeckmann).
* review/cleanup resources which were not in the manual page (report
by Maxwell Anselm):
+ add manual page description as needed.
+ drop resource name for menuBar, as unnecessary.
+ modify fallback numeric value for regisScreenSize resource to
match that for maxGraphicSize.
* updated configure macros CF_ADD_CFLAGS, CF_CC_ENV_FLAGS,
CF_GNU_SOURCE, CF_MATH_LIB, and CF_XOPEN_SOURCE from other
program-changes.
* update config.guess, config.sub
* change “maximum screensize” assumed by resize to 9999x9999, to
accommodate people using the Unreadable font.
* drop Utility from default value of --with-desktop-category (Debian
#780176).
* widen the configure script pattern used for finding related
".desktop" files, including “Terminal”
* several minor improvements to font utility functions:
+ provide for later modification to implement font-sets by
parsing the font resources as comma-separated lists.
+ parse -fn and -fa similarly, using “x:” and “xft:” prefixes
for font name/family strings to distinguish between XLFD and
Xft font specifications.
+ use loops to iterate over font classes
+ use getters/setters for font data to allow for on-demand
lookups.
+ make the debugging trace for missing glyph less verbose since
that interferes with the -report-fonts option.
+ refactor xtermLoadFont to make it clearer how some fonts are
derived from others, e.g., bold, wide.
+ make the triggering and suppressing of font-warnings more
consistent by storing the last state in the widget.
+ reduce font-warnings by checking for repeated warnings.
* add vttests/query-status.pl
* add vttests/closest-rgb
* add special case for displaying soft-hyphen if it happens to fall
at the right margin, and omitting similar case such as the BIDI
markers, where a zero-width character is neither a control
character nor a combining character (Debian #844325).
* modify logic for OSC 52, manipulate selection data, to update the
selection-time to include the latest X events. This fixes some
cases where the selection was invalid, e.g., after an event due to
focus-follows-mouse (report/testcase by Stephane Chauveau).
* revise macro CastMallocN as new macro TextAlloc to make explicit
use of sizeof(char) (prompted by patch by Cade Foster).
* add “Mouse Ops” menu entry and related resources to allow runtime
disabling/enabling of the mouse protocol escape sequences
(discussion with Bob Proulx).
* improve discussion of mouse actions versus protocol in the manual
(discussion with Bob Proulx).
* improve discussion of environment variables in the manual, pointing
out where some features (such as termcap and the System5 COLUMNS
and LINES variables) are used rarely, mainly to support legacy
applications.
* add examples of translations resource for select/paste, and for
font-size changes to the manual.
* minor reordering of some entries in ctlseqs.ms for consistency
(report by Arran Ubels).
* add -s option to 256colors2.pl and 88colors2.pl, to demonstrate
modifying the “system” colors 0–15.
* omit XFT_SPACING property from call to XftPatternBuild, to work
around a bug in fontconfig for handling Google Go fonts, whose
names sort in an order not expected by fontconfig, causing the
request for a monospaced font to return italics, e.g.,
$ fc-match 'Go Mono:spacing=monospace'
Go-Mono-Italic.ttf: "Go Mono" "Italic"
(report by Giacomo Boffi on Stackoverflow).
* modify minstall.in to improve a workaround added to the manual page
in patch #182 to avoid having the C preprocessor used in the imake
configuration strip out the comments in the character classes
section (reports by Ted Unangst, Anthony J Bentley).
Patch #327 - 2016/10/07
* add a check in the function which handles end-of-line wrapping to
ensure that C1 controls are allocated one column when
allowC1Printable is set (Debian #738794).
* use consistent error-checking after strtol calls, fixes a case
where a query with OSC 6 did not ensure there was a valid color
number (report by Alex Smith).
* add -baudrate option, for testing ncurses.
* always generate the CASE_xxx symbols in VTparse.h and Tekparse.h,
as part of a change to improve debug-logging. This makes the build
always depend upon awk.
* modify allowC1Printable to disallow codes 160-254 as being
equivalent to codes 32-126 when parsing escape sequences (Debian
#839220).
* amend fix from patch #326 for TrueType fonts to exclude the hidden
character used for double-width cells (report by Grady Martin).
* fix a typo in ctlseqs.ms
Patch #326 - 2016/09/25

improve documentation of logging resources.
fix a special case of flickering cursor by adding GraphicsExpose to the list of event types that should not trigger making the mouse cursor visible (patch by Joe Peterson).
correct initialization of line-drawing in VT52-mode, overlooked in changes for patch #297 (report/patch by Ben Wiley Sittler).
minor clarification of form-feed versus line-feed in ctlseqs.ms (suggested by David Kemper).

fixed one case where the menu sensistivity for Print-All Immediately and Print-All on Error was not properly ifdef'd.
modify terminfo entries for 16-, 88- and 256-color to reset palette with rs1 capability.
accept legacy value of -kt as synonym for the oldXtermFKeys resource, and extend the full-reset logic to use the keyboard type set via -kt.
modify ioctl calls for I_PUSH to first check if the module has been added, using I_FIND. This is needed for newer Solaris libraries with c11 support (adapted from patch by Alan Coopersmith).

add configure option --without-xinerama to allow suppressing the extension (Gentoo #580936).
update keysym2ucs.c based on Unicode 9.0
fixed most cppcheck --enable=all warnings, including for style (prompted by report by David Binderman). There was one bug-fix:
RGB least-squares computation in allocateClosestRGB used only one ordinate

updates for SIXEL and ReGIS (Ross Combs):
Fixes some const correctness issues and points out an array lifetime issue
Sixel drawing should still happen after an error if some commands have been processed
Tiny steps toward reporting ReGIS input
Without this patch, this happens every time the child exits. To reproduce,

characters from UTF-8 byte streams (prompted by discussion with
Poul-Henning Kamp).
modify check for cursor-theme from patch #301 to also check if
the resource Xcursor.theme is set to a nonempty value before

Longbons).
improve ReGIS graphics initialization (Ross Combs):
Patch #311 - 2014/09/18
* mention xclip in manpage as an alternative workaround for copying
clipboard data, noting that selectToClipboard (from patch #209) is
the recommended approach (Debian #639094).
* correct comparison in do_select_regex() of working position against
starting column.
* correct initialization for regular-expression feature of

Wall).
* amend reset for cursor-shape to take into account cursorUnderline
resource (report by Christian Weisgerber).
* update config.guess, config.sub
This release reviewed/improved features reset on "hard reset" and
implemented four SGRs, for completeness. There were several other
minor fixes/improvements.
303:
This release fixes a regression in validation against /etc/shells
and adds a check for paths which match /etc/shells via a symbolic
link.
302:
This release fixes several minor bugs and adds a new command-line
option to show colors as they are allocated.
300: This release fixed a problem when running in XFCE4.
299: This release fixed an error in line drawing.
298: This release fixes several minor bugs and adds a new option
"-report-fonts" to show which fonts are actually loaded.
This release revises and extends the DEC NRCS (national replacement
character set) feature, adding several character sets and making
it usable in a UTF-8 environment. There are other fixes for a few
control sequences, improvements in font handling, and improvements
to configurability.
