136.0 169.0
17 - use the scrollback buffer even when the scroll region doesn't
18 span the whole screen, as long as it starts at row 0.
19 - swap the environment in some more cases. This hopefully fixes
20 some segfaults that might be caused by xft asking for env variables
21 at the wrong time.
22 - selection popup now shows selection in dec/hex/oct.
23 - perl/selection: matching on unicode characters in the selection
24 code was O(n²), which equals infinity in some degenerate cases
25 :-> Matching is now done on UTF-8, which makes it almost instant.
26 - perl/selection, perl/selection-autotransform: regexes are now
27 being interpreted in the locale urxvt was started.
28 - perl-overlays and refresh hooks were not applied in correct order.
29 - changed coordinate-system of view_start/nsaved to be top to bottom.
30 - applied many patches by Emanuele Giaquinta that clean the code up
31 and fix more bugs in the utmp logging code.
32 . removed src/strings.C.
33 - add tsl/fsl and related capabilities to the terminfo description,
34 to set the window title.
35
367.0 Fri Jan 13 14:02:18 CET 2006
37 - added sections for DISTRIBUTION MAINTAINERS and about
38 SETUID/SETGID to the FAQ.
39 - selection, searchable-scrollback, selection-popup and
40 option-popup extensions enabled by default.
41 - increased xft drawing speed for problematic fonts. The effect
42 will likely be small as 99% of the xft slowness is server-related.
43 - perl: much increased functionality, better overlays, popup support
44 and much much more.
45 - perl: urxvt::line now can set via ->t and ->r.
46 - perl: changed interpretation of --perl-ext-common and -pe.
47 - perl: finally implemented --perl-eval.
48 - perl: non-blocking anyevent support.
49 - perl: run tainted and ignore perl-eval/perl-lib if started
50 setuid/setgid.
51 - free the resource database: this plugs a massive memory leak. As a
52 side effect, it also gets rid of XGetDefault calls.
53 - free one of the cursors, fixes a small memory leak.
54 - built-in (as opposed to terminfos) visual bell was broken/too fast.
55 - applied minor cleanups by Ladislav Michnovic.
56 - applied pty handling cleanups and improvements (Emanuele Giaquinta).
57 - mark-urls launch-on-click by jepler.
58 - removed "small" resource parsing function, as it wasn't really
59 compatible, and not really small either.
60 - removed PATH_ENV and PATH file search support.
61 - removed support for locale-specific app-defaults file.
62 - fixed a bug where out-of-bounds colour sequences could lead
63 to crashes.
64 - limit colour changing to the standard 88 palette instead of all
65 colours.
66 - XTerm_Color01 sequence returned wrong results in query mode.
67 - iom.C now checks against destructed io_manager when unregistering.
68
696.3 Wed Jan 4 22:37:10 CET 2006
70 - SECURITY FIX: on systems using openpty, permissions were
71 not correctly updated on the tty device and were left as
72 world-readable and world-writable (likely in original rxvt,
73 too), and were not restored properly. Affected are only
74 systems where non-unix ptys were used (such as most BSDs, not
75 GNU/Linux). (found, patched and debugged by Ryan Beasley).
76 - meta8 support was forcefully enabled in most configurations.
77 restored configurability of this (useless) feature (reported
78 by Mikachu).
79 - optionally embed a perl interpreter, which can be used for more
80 intelligent/customized selection support, visual feedback,
81 menus, tabs etc. See the the urxvtperl manpage, the -pe option,
82 perl*-resources and keysym resources. Not everything is there yet.
83 - try to be more clever about differing font sizes and their ascent.
84 Not guarenteed to work, but works better in most cases now.
85 - fix directory permissions on install.
86 - implemented option to disable built-in line drawing characters
87 and fall back to the font ones (patch by Martin Pohlack).
88 - disabled sched_yield support: the linux version is just too useless
89 (it schedules nice'd processes before the own one for extended
90 periods). Too bad, it could reduce system time by a factor of 5 here.
91
926.2 Mon Jan 2 16:03:01 CET 2006
93 - implemented intensityStyles option which enables/disables bold/blink
94 selecting high intensity foreground/background colours, suggested by
95 Chuck Blake.
96 - move iso14755 character feedback box out of the way if it would
97 obscure the mouse cursor position.
98 - replaced callback.h by a fixed version from gvpe that correctly
99 returns the callback result (affects new -pty-fd semantics in urxvtc
100 on a few architectures). Reported by darix.
101 - include one trailing space in rectangular selections to indicate
102 the inserted newline (yeah, weird, but visually more pleasing).
103 - try to use sched_yield to (drastically) improve terminal data
104 transfer efficiency.
105 - further minor cleanups.
106
1076.1 Tue Dec 27 13:23:40 CET 2005
108 - update iso8859-7 table (euro and drachma round-trip et al.).
109 - fix a crash when the selection scrolls out of the scrollback
110 while the user still drags.
111 - selections that were partially scrolled out of the window were
112 not drawn correctly.
113 - lines newly scrolled in were not initialized properly, leading
114 to extremely long lines and (hopefully) some segfaults.
115 - iso14755 overlay position was wrong.
116 - iso14755 overlay now displays rendition info, too.
117 - use unicode white space class instead of hardcoded values for
118 stripping whitespace.
119 - do whitespace stripping on rectangular selections.
120 - slight cleanups in src/features.h.

125 - fix relative cursor-positioning not respecting scrolling regions
126 (also a bug in original rxvt).
127 - initialize termios structure to zero when fetching it fails
128 (see http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=84647 for a
129 partial patch).
130 - bump max columns/rows to 10000 each.
131 - bump max savelines to 10000000.
132 - -pty-fd now passes the urxvtc fd to the urxvtd process.
133 - avoid linking against -lnsl/-lsocket/-lxpg4 unless neccessary.
134 - major code cleanup (still not complete, though).
135 - implement -hold option.

58 could almost freeze output. This has been fixed by adding extra 178 could almost freeze output. This has been fixed by adding extra
