136.1 149.0
15 - use the scrollback buffer even when the scroll region doesn't
16 span the whole screen, as long as it starts at row 0.
17 - selection popup now shows selection in dec/hex/oct.
18 - perl/selection: matching on unicode characters in the selection
19 code was O(n²), which equals infinity in some degenerate cases
20 :-> Matching is now done on UTF-8, which makes it almost instant.
21 - perl/selection, perl/selection-autotransform: regexes are now
22 being interpreted in the locale urxvt was started.
23 - perl-overlays and refresh hooks were not applied in correct order.
24 - changed coordinate-system of view_start/nsaved to be top to bottom.
25 - applied many patches by Emanuele Giaquinta that clean the code up
26 and fix more bugs in the utmp logging code.
27 - add tsl/fsl and related capabilities to the terminfo description,
28 to set the window title.

307.0 Fri Jan 13 14:02:18 CET 2006
31 - added sections for DISTRIBUTION MAINTAINERS and about
32 SETUID/SETGID to the FAQ.
33 - selection, searchable-scrollback, selection-popup and
34 option-popup extensions enabled by default.
35 - increased xft drawing speed for problematic fonts. The effect
36 will likely be small as 99% of the xft slowness is server-related.
37 - perl: much increased functionality, better overlays, popup support
38 and much much more.
39 - perl: urxvt::line now can set via ->t and ->r.
40 - perl: changed interpretation of --perl-ext-common and -pe.
41 - perl: finally implemented --perl-eval.
42 - perl: non-blocking anyevent support.
43 - perl: run tainted and ignore perl-eval/perl-lib if started
44 setuid/setgid.
45 - free the resource database: this plugs a massive memory leak. As a
46 side effect, it also gets rid of XGetDefault calls.
47 - free one of the cursors, fixes a small memory leak.
48 - built-in (as opposed to terminfos) visual bell was broken/too fast.
49 - applied minor cleanups by Ladislav Michnovic.
50 - applied pty handling cleanups and improvements (Emanuele Giaquinta).
51 - mark-urls launch-on-click by jepler.
52 - removed "small" resource parsing function, as it wasn't really
53 compatible, and not really small either.
54 - removed PATH_ENV and PATH file search support.
55 - removed support for locale-specific app-defaults file.
56 - fixed a bug where out-of-bounds colour sequences could lead
57 to crashes.
58 - limit colour changing to the standard 88 palette instead of all
59 colours.
60 - XTerm_Color01 sequence returned wrong results in query mode.
61 - iom.C now checks against destructed io_manager when unregistering.

636.3 Wed Jan 4 22:37:10 CET 2006
64 - SECURITY FIX: on systems using openpty, permissions were
65 not correctly updated on the tty device and were left as
66 world-readable and world-writable (likely in original rxvt,
67 too), and were not restored properly. Affected are only
68 systems where non-unix ptys were used (such as most BSDs, not
69 GNU/Linux). (found, patched and debugged by Ryan Beasley).
70 - meta8 support was forcefully enabled in most configurations.
71 restored configurability of this (useless) feature (reported
72 by Mikachu).
73 - optionally embed a perl interpreter, which can be used for more
74 intelligent/customized selection support, visual feedback,
75 menus, tabs etc. See the the urxvtperl manpage, the -pe option,
76 perl*-resources and keysym resources. Not everything is there yet.
77 - try to be more clever about differing font sizes and their ascent.
78 Not guarenteed to work, but works better in most cases now.
79 - fix directory permissions on install.
80 - implemented option to disable built-in line drawing characters
81 and fall back to the font ones (patch by Martin Pohlack).
82 - disabled sched_yield support: the linux version is just too useless
83 (it schedules nice'd processes before the own one for extended
84 periods). Too bad, it could reduce system time by a factor of 5 here.
85
866.2 Mon Jan 2 16:03:01 CET 2006
87 - implemented intensityStyles option which enables/disables bold/blink
88 selecting high intensity foreground/background colours, suggested by
89 Chuck Blake.
90 - move iso14755 character feedback box out of the way if it would
91 obscure the mouse cursor position.
92 - replaced callback.h by a fixed version from gvpe that correctly
93 returns the callback result (affects new -pty-fd semantics in urxvtc
94 on a few architectures). Reported by darix.
95 - include one trailing space in rectangular selections to indicate
96 the inserted newline (yeah, weird, but visually more pleasing).
97 - try to use sched_yield to (drastically) improve terminal data
98 transfer efficiency.
99 - further minor cleanups.
