12SECURITY FIX: systems using openpty (most BSDs) had wrong permissions on
13the tty. Other systems (such as GNU/Linux) were not affected. Bug fixes:
14the meta8 option ("weird alt key behaviour") is no longer forcefully
15enabled. New features: urxvt now supports embedded perl, which can already
16do useful things and will certainly be extended in the future.

19 - SECURITY FIX: on systems using openpty, permissions were
20 not correctly updated on the tty device and were left as
21 world-readable and world-writable (likely in original rxvt,
22 too), and were not restored properly. Affected are only
23 systems where non-unix ptys were used (such as most BSDs, not
24 GNU/Linux). (found, patched and debugged by Ryan Beasley).
25 - meta8 support was forcefully enabled in most configurations.
26 restored configurability of this (useless) feature (reported
27 by Mikachu).
28 - optionally embed a perl interpreter, which can be used for more
29 intelligent/customized selection support, visual feedback,
30 menus, tabs etc. See the the urxvtperl manpage, the -pe option,
31 perl*-resources and keysym resources. Not everything is there yet.
32 - try to be more clever about differing font sizes and their ascent.
33 Not guarenteed to work, but works better in most cases now.
34 - fix directory permissions on install.
35TODO - implemented option to disable built-in line drawing characters
36 and fall back to the font ones (patch by Martin Pohlack).
37 - disabled sched_yield support: the linux version is just too useless
38 (it schedules nice'd processes before the own one for extended
39 periods). Too bad, it could reduce system time by a factor of 5 here.

416.2 Mon Jan 2 16:03:01 CET 2006
42 - implemented intensityStyles option which enables/disables bold/blink
43 selecting high intensity foreground/background colours, suggested by
44 Chuck Blake.
45 - move iso14755 character feedback box out of the way if it would
46 obscure the mouse cursor position.
47 - replaced callback.h by a fixed version from gvpe that correctly
48 returns the callback result (affects new -pty-fd semantics in urxvtc
49 on a few architectures). Reported by darix.
50 - include one trailing space in rectangular selections to indicate
51 the inserted newline (yeah, weird, but visually more pleasing).
52 - try to use sched_yield to (drastically) improve terminal data
53 transfer efficiency.
54 - further minor cleanups.
55
566.1 Tue Dec 27 13:23:40 CET 2005
57 - update iso8859-7 table (euro and drachma round-trip et al.).
58 - fix a crash when the selection scrolls out of the scrollback
59 while the user still drags.
60 - selections that were partially scrolled out of the window were
61 not drawn correctly.
62 - lines newly scrolled in were not initialized properly, leading
63 to extremely long lines and (hopefully) some segfaults.
64 - iso14755 overlay position was wrong.
65 - iso14755 overlay now displays rendition info, too.
66 - use unicode white space class instead of hardcoded values for
67 stripping whitespace.
68 - do whitespace stripping on rectangular selections.
69 - slight cleanups in src/features.h.
70
716.0 Sat Dec 24 13:58:56 CET 2005
72 - make it compile without SMART_RESIZE again.
73 - enable slow link support by default.
74 - fix relative cursor-positioning not respecting scrolling regions
75 (also a bug in original rxvt).
76 - initialize termios structure to zero when fetching it fails
77 (see http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=84647 for a
78 partial patch).
79 - bump max columns/rows to 10000 each.
80 - bump max savelines to 10000000.
81 - -pty-fd now passes the urxvtc fd to the urxvtd process.
82 - avoid linking against -lnsl/-lsocket/-lxpg4 unless neccessary.
83 - major code cleanup (still not complete, though).
84 - implement -hold option.
85 - _major_ rewrite of internal buffer handling:
86 - re-flow on resize, lines get wrapped instead of winged.
87 - circular line buffer (substantially speeds up scrolling).
88 - slightly less code + data memory usage per terminal.
89 - slight overall speed improvements.
90 - considerably improved code clarity.
91 - partial-screen scrolls no longer end up in the scrollback
92 buffer.
