12SECURITY FIX: systems using openpty (most BSDs) had wrong permissions on 147.0
13the tty. Other systems (such as GNU/Linux) were not affected. Bug fixes: 15TODO: run external commands more sytematically (using $self->env etc.)
14the meta8 option ("weird alt key behaviour") is no longer forcefully 16TODO: document searchable-scorllback hotkey
15enabled. New features: urxvt now supports embedded perl, which can already 17TODO: double-click and right-extend
16do useful things and will certainly be extended in the future. 18 - added sections for DISTRIBUTION MAINTAINERS and about
19 SETUID/SETGID to the FAQ.
20 - selection, searchable-scrollback, selection-popup and
21 option-popup extensions enabled by default.
22 - increased xft drawing speed for problematic fonts. The effect
23 will likely be small as 99% of the xft slowness is server-related.
24 - perl: much increased functionality, better overlays, popup support
25 and much much more.
26 - perl: urxvt::line now can set via ->t and ->r.
27 - perl: changed interpretation of --perl-ext-common and -pe.
28 - perl: finally implemented --perl-eval.
29 - perl: non-blocking anyevent support.
30 - perl: run tainted and ignore perl-eval/perl-lib if started
31 setuid/setgid.
32 - free the resource database: this plugs a massive memory leak. As a
33 side effect, it also gets rid of XGetDefault calls.
34 - free one of the cursors, fixes a small memory leak.
35 - built-in (as opposed to terminfos) visual bell was broken/too fast.
36 - applied minor cleanups by Ladislav Michnovic.
37 - applied better configure support for openpty and other pty stuff
38 (Emanuele Giaquinta).
39 - mark-urls launch-on-click by jepler.
40 - removed "small" resource parsing function, as it wasn't really
41 compatible, and not really small either.
42 - removed PATH_ENV and PATH file search support.
43 - removed support for locale-specific app-defaults file.
44 - fixed a bug where out-of-bounds colour sequences could lead
45 to crashes.
46 - limit colour changing to the standard 88 palette instead of all
47 colours.
48 - XTerm_Color01 sequence returned wrong results in query mode.
49 - iom.C now checks against destructed io_manager when unregistering.
