16TODO: distributed clipboard example
17 - setuid/setgid operation is now _encouraged_: security has been
18 improved by moving privileged operations into a separate process
19 and permanently dropping privileges within the terminal. This
20 makes it possible to remove security checks from the perl code
21 and gives a much safer feeling when urxvt needs to run with
22 special privileges.
23 - perl taint checking disabled, as urxvt no longer runs setuid/setgid
24 itself.
25 - new perl extension automove-background that can be used to get
26 the same effect as pseudo-transparency with any pixmap.
27 - new perl extension example: perl/selection-pastebin, can be used to
28 e.g. upload the selection to a webserver and generate a url, or
29 similar stuff.
30 - use the scrollback buffer even when the scroll region doesn't
31 span the whole screen, as long as it starts at row 0. Helps
32 for programs displaying a status line at the bottom.
33 - selection popup now shows selection in dec/hex/oct.
34 - perl/selection: matching on unicode characters in the selection
35 code was O(n²), which equals infinity in some degenerate cases
36 :-> Matching is now done on UTF-8, which makes it almost instant.
37 - perl/selection, perl/selection-autotransform: regexes are now
38 being interpreted in the locale urxvt was started.
39 - implemented override-redirect option and enabled it on menus,
40 as kwin puts our windows behind the terminal (what a shoddy wm).
41 - fixed struct utmp check in configure for OpenBSD.
42 - complete overhaul of the pty/utmp management stuff and configure
43 (Emanuele Giaquinta).
44 - add tsl/fsl and related capabilities to the terminfo description,
45 to set the window title.
46 - swap the environment in some more cases. This hopefully fixes
47 some segfaults that might be caused by xft asking for env variables
48 at the wrong time.
49 - removed src/strings.C and src/menubar.C. No menubar support
50 anymore.
51 - removed all traces of SMOOTH_REFRESH.
52 - nuked QNX support.
53 - made some fixes to xpm offset and scaling code.
54 - perl-overlays and refresh hooks were not applied in correct order.
55 - changed coordinate-system of view_start/nsaved to be top to bottom.
56 - iom extended to support listening for child exits.
57
587.0 Fri Jan 13 14:02:18 CET 2006
59 - added sections for DISTRIBUTION MAINTAINERS and about
60 SETUID/SETGID to the FAQ.
61 - selection, searchable-scrollback, selection-popup and
62 option-popup extensions enabled by default.
63 - increased xft drawing speed for problematic fonts. The effect
64 will likely be small as 99% of the xft slowness is server-related.
65 - perl: much increased functionality, better overlays, popup support
66 and much much more.
67 - perl: urxvt::line now can set via ->t and ->r.
68 - perl: changed interpretation of --perl-ext-common and -pe.
69 - perl: finally implemented --perl-eval.
70 - perl: non-blocking anyevent support.
71 - perl: run tainted and ignore perl-eval/perl-lib if started
72 setuid/setgid.
73 - free the resource database: this plugs a massive memory leak. As a
74 side effect, it also gets rid of XGetDefault calls.
75 - free one of the cursors, fixes a small memory leak.
76 - built-in (as opposed to terminfos) visual bell was broken/too fast.
77 - applied minor cleanups by Ladislav Michnovic.
78 - applied pty handling cleanups and improvements (Emanuele Giaquinta).
79 - mark-urls launch-on-click by jepler.
80 - removed "small" resource parsing function, as it wasn't really
81 compatible, and not really small either.
82 - removed PATH_ENV and PATH file search support.
83 - removed support for locale-specific app-defaults file.
84 - fixed a bug where out-of-bounds colour sequences could lead
85 to crashes.
86 - limit colour changing to the standard 88 palette instead of all
87 colours.
88 - XTerm_Color01 sequence returned wrong results in query mode.
89 - iom.C now checks against destructed io_manager when unregistering.

916.3 Wed Jan 4 22:37:10 CET 2006
92 - SECURITY FIX: on systems using openpty, permissions were
93 not correctly updated on the tty device and were left as
94 world-readable and world-writable (likely in original rxvt,
95 too), and were not restored properly. Affected are only
96 systems where non-unix ptys were used (such as most BSDs, not
97 GNU/Linux). (found, patched and debugged by Ryan Beasley).
98 - meta8 support was forcefully enabled in most configurations.
99 restored configurability of this (useless) feature (reported
100 by Mikachu).
101 - optionally embed a perl interpreter, which can be used for more
102 intelligent/customized selection support, visual feedback,
103 menus, tabs etc. See the the urxvtperl manpage, the -pe option,
104 perl*-resources and keysym resources. Not everything is there yet.
105 - try to be more clever about differing font sizes and their ascent.
106 Not guarenteed to work, but works better in most cases now.
107 - fix directory permissions on install.
108 - implemented option to disable built-in line drawing characters
109 and fall back to the font ones (patch by Martin Pohlack).
110 - disabled sched_yield support: the linux version is just too useless
111 (it schedules nice'd processes before the own one for extended
112 periods). Too bad, it could reduce system time by a factor of 5 here.
113
1146.2 Mon Jan 2 16:03:01 CET 2006
115 - implemented intensityStyles option which enables/disables bold/blink
116 selecting high intensity foreground/background colours, suggested by
117 Chuck Blake.
118 - move iso14755 character feedback box out of the way if it would
119 obscure the mouse cursor position.
120 - replaced callback.h by a fixed version from gvpe that correctly
121 returns the callback result (affects new -pty-fd semantics in urxvtc
122 on a few architectures). Reported by darix.
123 - include one trailing space in rectangular selections to indicate
124 the inserted newline (yeah, weird, but visually more pleasing).
125 - try to use sched_yield to (drastically) improve terminal data
126 transfer efficiency.
127 - further minor cleanups.
128
1296.1 Tue Dec 27 13:23:40 CET 2005
130 - update iso8859-7 table (euro and drachma round-trip et al.).
131 - fix a crash when the selection scrolls out of the scrollback
132 while the user still drags.
133 - selections that were partially scrolled out of the window were
134 not drawn correctly.
135 - lines newly scrolled in were not initialized properly, leading
136 to extremely long lines and (hopefully) some segfaults.
137 - iso14755 overlay position was wrong.
138 - iso14755 overlay now displays rendition info, too.
139 - use unicode white space class instead of hardcoded values for
140 stripping whitespace.
141 - do whitespace stripping on rectangular selections.
142 - slight cleanups in src/features.h.
