17 - SECURITY FIX: on systems using openpty (not GNU/Linux, probably 16TODO: distributed clipboard example
18 most BSDs), privileges weren't dropped before opening the pty, 17
19 resulting in wrong permissions on the pseudo terminal. 18 - setuid/setgid operation is now _encouraged_: security has been
20 Reported and fixed by Ryan Beasley. 19 improved by moving privileged operations into a separate process
20 and permanently dropping privileges within the terminal. This
21 makes it possible to remove security checks from the perl code
22 and gives a much safer feeling when urxvt needs to run with
23 special privileges.
24 - perl taint checking disabled, as urxvt no longer runs setuid/setgid
25 itself.
26 - new perl extension automove-background that can be used to get
27 the same effect as pseudo-transparency with any pixmap.
28 - new perl extension example: perl/selection-pastebin, can be used to
29 e.g. upload the selection to a webserver and generate a url, or
30 similar stuff.
31 - use the scrollback buffer even when the scroll region doesn't
32 span the whole screen, as long as it starts at row 0. Helps
33 for programs displaying a status line at the bottom.
34 - selection popup now shows selection in dec/hex/oct.
35 - perl/selection: matching on unicode characters in the selection
36 code was O(n²), which equals infinity in some degenerate cases
37 :-> Matching is now done on UTF-8, which makes it almost instant.
38 - perl/selection, perl/selection-autotransform: regexes are now
39 being interpreted in the locale urxvt was started.
40 - fixed struct utmp check in configure for OpenBSD.
41 - complete overhaul of the pty/utmp management stuff and configure
42 (Emanuele Giaquinta).
43 - add tsl/fsl and related capabilities to the terminfo description,
44 to set the window title.
45 - swap the environment in some more cases. This hopefully fixes
46 some segfaults that might be caused by xft asking for env variables
47 at the wrong time.
48 - removed src/strings.C and src/menubar.C. No menubar support
49 anymore.
50 - removed all traces of SMOOTH_REFRESH.
51 - nuked QNX support.
52 - made some fixes to xpm offset and scaling code.
53 - perl-overlays and refresh hooks were not applied in correct order.
54 - changed coordinate-system of view_start/nsaved to be top to bottom.

567.0 Fri Jan 13 14:02:18 CET 2006
57 - added sections for DISTRIBUTION MAINTAINERS and about
58 SETUID/SETGID to the FAQ.
59 - selection, searchable-scrollback, selection-popup and
60 option-popup extensions enabled by default.
61 - increased xft drawing speed for problematic fonts. The effect
62 will likely be small as 99% of the xft slowness is server-related.
63 - perl: much increased functionality, better overlays, popup support
64 and much much more.
65 - perl: urxvt::line now can set via ->t and ->r.
66 - perl: changed interpretation of --perl-ext-common and -pe.
67 - perl: finally implemented --perl-eval.
68 - perl: non-blocking anyevent support.
69 - perl: run tainted and ignore perl-eval/perl-lib if started
70 setuid/setgid.
71 - free the resource database: this plugs a massive memory leak. As a
72 side effect, it also gets rid of XGetDefault calls.
73 - free one of the cursors, fixes a small memory leak.
74 - built-in (as opposed to terminfos) visual bell was broken/too fast.
75 - applied minor cleanups by Ladislav Michnovic.
76 - applied pty handling cleanups and improvements (Emanuele Giaquinta).
77 - mark-urls launch-on-click by jepler.
78 - removed "small" resource parsing function, as it wasn't really
79 compatible, and not really small either.
80 - removed PATH_ENV and PATH file search support.
81 - removed support for locale-specific app-defaults file.
82 - fixed a bug where out-of-bounds colour sequences could lead
83 to crashes.
84 - limit colour changing to the standard 88 palette instead of all
85 colours.
86 - XTerm_Color01 sequence returned wrong results in query mode.
87 - iom.C now checks against destructed io_manager when unregistering.

90 - SECURITY FIX: on systems using openpty, permissions were
91 not correctly updated on the tty device and were left as
92 world-readable and world-writable (likely in original rxvt,
93 too), and were not restored properly. Affected are only
94 systems where non-unix ptys were used (such as most BSDs, not
95 GNU/Linux). (found, patched and debugged by Ryan Beasley).
96 - meta8 support was forcefully enabled in most configurations.
97 restored configurability of this (useless) feature (reported
98 by Mikachu).
99 - optionally embed a perl interpreter, which can be used for more
100 intelligent/customized selection support, visual feedback,
101 menus, tabs etc. See the the urxvtperl manpage, the -pe option,
102 perl*-resources and keysym resources. Not everything is there yet.
103 - try to be more clever about differing font sizes and their ascent.
104 Not guarenteed to work, but works better in most cases now.
105 - fix directory permissions on install.
106 - implemented option to disable built-in line drawing characters
107 and fall back to the font ones (patch by Martin Pohlack).
108 - disabled sched_yield support: the linux version is just too useless
109 (it schedules nice'd processes before the own one for extended
110 periods). Too bad, it could reduce system time by a factor of 5 here.

121 - include one trailing space in rectangular selections to indicate
122 the inserted newline (yeah, weird, but visually more pleasing).
123 - try to use sched_yield to (drastically) improve terminal data
124 transfer efficiency.
29 - further minor cleanups. 125 - further minor cleanups.
