13 enabled by default. 16TODO: distributed clipboard example

18 - setuid/setgid operation is now _encouraged_: security has been
19 improved by moving privileged operations into a separate process
20 and permanently dropping privileges within the terminal. This
21 makes it possible to remove security checks from the perl code
22 and gives a much safer feeling when urxvt needs to run with
23 special privileges.
24 - perl taint checking disabled, as urxvt no longer runs setuid/setgid
25 itself.
26 - new extension example: perl/selection-pastebin, can be used to
27 e.g. upload the selection to a webserver and generate a url, or
28 similar stuff.
29 - use the scrollback buffer even when the scroll region doesn't
30 span the whole screen, as long as it starts at row 0. Helps
31 for programs displaying a status line at the bottom.
32 - selection popup now shows selection in dec/hex/oct.
33 - perl/selection: matching on unicode characters in the selection
34 code was O(n²), which equals infinity in some degenerate cases
35 :-> Matching is now done on UTF-8, which makes it almost instant.
36 - perl/selection, perl/selection-autotransform: regexes are now
37 being interpreted in the locale urxvt was started.
38 - fixed struct utmp check in configure for OpenBSD.
39 - complete overhaul of the pty/utmp management stuff and configure
40 (Emanuele Giaquinta).
41 - add tsl/fsl and related capabilities to the terminfo description,
42 to set the window title.
43 - swap the environment in some more cases. This hopefully fixes
44 some segfaults that might be caused by xft asking for env variables
45 at the wrong time.
46 - removed src/strings.C and src/menubar.C. No menubar support
47 anymore.
48 - removed all traces of SMOOTH_REFRESH.
49 - nuked QNX support.
50 - perl-overlays and refresh hooks were not applied in correct order.
51 - changed coordinate-system of view_start/nsaved to be top to bottom.

537.0 Fri Jan 13 14:02:18 CET 2006
54 - added sections for DISTRIBUTION MAINTAINERS and about
55 SETUID/SETGID to the FAQ.
56 - selection, searchable-scrollback, selection-popup and
57 option-popup extensions enabled by default.
58 - increased xft drawing speed for problematic fonts. The effect
59 will likely be small as 99% of the xft slowness is server-related.

71 - built-in (as opposed to terminfos) visual bell was broken/too fast.
72 - applied minor cleanups by Ladislav Michnovic.
73 - applied pty handling cleanups and improvements (Emanuele Giaquinta).
74 - mark-urls launch-on-click by jepler.
75 - removed "small" resource parsing function, as it wasn't really
76 compatible, and not really small either.
77 - removed PATH_ENV and PATH file search support.
78 - removed support for locale-specific app-defaults file.
79 - fixed a bug where out-of-bounds colour sequences could lead
80 to crashes.
81 - limit colour changing to the standard 88 palette instead of all
82 colours.
83 - XTerm_Color01 sequence returned wrong results in query mode.
84 - iom.C now checks against destructed io_manager when unregistering.
