217.2
22 - added "tabbed" extension that provides a crude tabbed terminal.
23 - added "readline" extension that allows cursor positioning
24 via mouse clicks.
25 - now it is possible to insert the value of the CLIPBOARD selection
26 with shift - mouse button 2
27 - fixed the automove-background extension to ignore coordinates
28 in non-synthetic events.
29 - removed support for obsolete offix dnd protocol.

317.1 Thu Jan 19 20:25:34 CET 2006
32 - setuid/setgid operation is now _encouraged_: security has been
33 improved by moving privileged operations into a separate process
34 and permanently dropping privileges within the terminal. This
35 makes it possible to remove security checks from the perl code
36 and gives a much safer feeling when urxvt needs to run with
37 special privileges.
38 - perl taint checking disabled, as urxvt no longer runs setuid/setgid
39 itself.
40 - new perl extension automove-background that can be used to get
41 the same effect as pseudo-transparency with any pixmap.
42 - new perl extension example: perl/selection-pastebin, can be used to
43 e.g. upload the selection to a webserver and generate a url, or
44 similar stuff.
45 - use the scrollback buffer even when the scroll region doesn't
46 span the whole screen, as long as it starts at row 0. Helps
47 for programs displaying a status line at the bottom.
48 - selection popup now shows selection in dec/hex/oct.
49 - perl/selection: matching on unicode characters in the selection
50 code was O(n²), which equals infinity in some degenerate cases
51 :-> Matching is now done on UTF-8, which makes it almost instant.
52 - perl/selection, perl/selection-autotransform: regexes are now
53 being interpreted in the locale urxvt was started.
54 - implemented override-redirect option and enabled it on menus,
55 as kwin puts our windows behind the terminal (what a shoddy wm).
56 - fixed struct utmp check in configure for OpenBSD.
57 - complete overhaul of the pty/utmp management stuff and configure
58 (Emanuele Giaquinta).
59 - add tsl/fsl and related capabilities to the terminfo description,
60 to set the window title.
61 - swap the environment in some more cases. This hopefully fixes
62 some segfaults that might be caused by xft asking for env variables
63 at the wrong time.
64 - removed src/strings.C and src/menubar.C. No menubar support
65 anymore.
66 - removed all traces of SMOOTH_REFRESH.
67 - nuked QNX support.
68 - made some fixes to xpm offset and scaling code.
69 - perl-overlays and refresh hooks were not applied in correct order.
70 - changed coordinate-system of view_start/nsaved to be top to bottom.
71 - iom extended to support listening for child exits.
72
737.0 Fri Jan 13 14:02:18 CET 2006
74 - added sections for DISTRIBUTION MAINTAINERS and about
75 SETUID/SETGID to the FAQ.
76 - selection, searchable-scrollback, selection-popup and
77 option-popup extensions enabled by default.
78 - increased xft drawing speed for problematic fonts. The effect
79 will likely be small as 99% of the xft slowness is server-related.
80 - perl: much increased functionality, better overlays, popup support
81 and much much more.
82 - perl: urxvt::line now can set via ->t and ->r.
83 - perl: changed interpretation of --perl-ext-common and -pe.
84 - perl: finally implemented --perl-eval.
85 - perl: non-blocking anyevent support.
86 - perl: run tainted and ignore perl-eval/perl-lib if started
87 setuid/setgid.
88 - free the resource database: this plugs a massive memory leak. As a
89 side effect, it also gets rid of XGetDefault calls.
90 - free one of the cursors, fixes a small memory leak.
91 - built-in (as opposed to terminfos) visual bell was broken/too fast.
92 - applied minor cleanups by Ladislav Michnovic.
93 - applied pty handling cleanups and improvements (Emanuele Giaquinta).
94 - mark-urls launch-on-click by jepler.
95 - removed "small" resource parsing function, as it wasn't really
96 compatible, and not really small either.
97 - removed PATH_ENV and PATH file search support.
98 - removed support for locale-specific app-defaults file.
99 - fixed a bug where out-of-bounds colour sequences could lead
100 to crashes.
101 - limit colour changing to the standard 88 palette instead of all
102 colours.
103 - XTerm_Color01 sequence returned wrong results in query mode.
104 - iom.C now checks against destructed io_manager when unregistering.
105
1066.3 Wed Jan 4 22:37:10 CET 2006
107 - SECURITY FIX: on systems using openpty, permissions were
108 not correctly updated on the tty device and were left as
109 world-readable and world-writable (likely in original rxvt,
110 too), and were not restored properly. Affected are only
111 systems where non-unix ptys were used (such as most BSDs, not
112 GNU/Linux). (found, patched and debugged by Ryan Beasley).
113 - meta8 support was forcefully enabled in most configurations.
114 restored configurability of this (useless) feature (reported
115 by Mikachu).
116 - optionally embed a perl interpreter, which can be used for more
117 intelligent/customized selection support, visual feedback,
118 menus, tabs etc. See the the urxvtperl manpage, the -pe option,
119 perl*-resources and keysym resources. Not everything is there yet.
120 - try to be more clever about differing font sizes and their ascent.
121 Not guarenteed to work, but works better in most cases now.
122 - fix directory permissions on install.
123 - implemented option to disable built-in line drawing characters
124 and fall back to the font ones (patch by Martin Pohlack).
125 - disabled sched_yield support: the linux version is just too useless
126 (it schedules nice'd processes before the own one for extended
127 periods). Too bad, it could reduce system time by a factor of 5 here.
128
1296.2 Mon Jan 2 16:03:01 CET 2006
130 - implemented intensityStyles option which enables/disables bold/blink
131 selecting high intensity foreground/background colours, suggested by
132 Chuck Blake.
133 - move iso14755 character feedback box out of the way if it would
134 obscure the mouse cursor position.
135 - replaced callback.h by a fixed version from gvpe that correctly
136 returns the callback result (affects new -pty-fd semantics in urxvtc
137 on a few architectures). Reported by darix.
138 - include one trailing space in rectangular selections to indicate
139 the inserted newline (yeah, weird, but visually more pleasing).
140 - try to use sched_yield to (drastically) improve terminal data
141 transfer efficiency.
142 - further minor cleanups.
143
1446.1 Tue Dec 27 13:23:40 CET 2005
145 - update iso8859-7 table (euro and drachma round-trip et al.).
146 - fix a crash when the selection scrolls out of the scrollback
147 while the user still drags.
148 - selections that were partially scrolled out of the window were
149 not drawn correctly.
150 - lines newly scrolled in were not initialized properly, leading
151 to extremely long lines and (hopefully) some segfaults.
152 - iso14755 overlay position was wrong.
153 - iso14755 overlay now displays rendition info, too.
154 - use unicode white space class instead of hardcoded values for
155 stripping whitespace.
156 - do whitespace stripping on rectangular selections.
157 - slight cleanups in src/features.h.
158
1596.0 Sat Dec 24 13:58:56 CET 2005
160 - make it compile without SMART_RESIZE again.
161 - enable slow link support by default.
162 - fix relative cursor-positioning not respecting scrolling regions
163 (also a bug in original rxvt).
164 - initialize termios structure to zero when fetching it fails
165 (see http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=84647 for a
166 partial patch).
167 - bump max columns/rows to 10000 each.
168 - bump max savelines to 10000000.
169 - -pty-fd now passes the urxvtc fd to the urxvtd process.
170 - avoid linking against -lnsl/-lsocket/-lxpg4 unless neccessary.
171 - major code cleanup (still not complete, though).
172 - implement -hold option.
173 - _major_ rewrite of internal buffer handling:
174 - re-flow on resize, lines get wrapped instead of winged.
175 - circular line buffer (substantially speeds up scrolling).
176 - slightly less code + data memory usage per terminal.
177 - slight overall speed improvements.
178 - considerably improved code clarity.
179 - partial-screen scrolls no longer end up in the scrollback
180 buffer.
