227.2 Sun Jan 22 21:58:16 CET 2006
23 - bugfix: urxvt (not urxvtd) did not correctly handle multiple
24 environments necessary, which resulted in segfaults within
25 getenv (reproducable: urxvt -fn 9x15, open a menu once,
26 ctrl-shift-672c).
27 - bugfix: the selection speedup in in 7.1 unfortunately caused
28 non-ascii characters to enlarge/move the selection.
29 - bugfix: resizing sometimes leaked lines from the secondary to
30 the primary screen.
31 - bugfix: reducing window size while large amounts of text were output
32 could lead to an assertion failure.
33 - added "tabbed" extension that provides a crude tabbed terminal.
34 - added "readline" extension that allows cursor positioning
35 via mouse clicks.
36 - now it is possible to insert the value of the CLIPBOARD selection
37 with shift - mouse button 2.
38 - fixed the automove-background extension to ignore coordinates
39 in non-synthetic events.
40 - created a separate libpty for portable and secure
41 pty/tty/utmp/wtmp/lastlog handling, and include it in rxvt-unicode.
42 - the non-terminfo visual bell now works asynchronously, so
43 continuous ASCI BELs in one terminal do no longer monopolise the
44 whole urxvt[d] process.
45 - support some *BSD makes (for the time being, gnu make is a safe bet).
46 - work around bugs in FreeBSD's gcc.
47 - implemented some *BSD fixes in configure.
48 - removed support for obsolete offix dnd protocol.

507.1 Thu Jan 19 20:25:34 CET 2006
51 - setuid/setgid operation is now _encouraged_: security has been
52 improved by moving privileged operations into a separate process
53 and permanently dropping privileges within the terminal. This
54 makes it possible to remove security checks from the perl code
55 and gives a much safer feeling when urxvt needs to run with
56 special privileges.
57 - perl taint checking disabled, as urxvt no longer runs setuid/setgid
58 itself.
59 - new perl extension automove-background that can be used to get
60 the same effect as pseudo-transparency with any pixmap.
61 - new perl extension example: perl/selection-pastebin, can be used to
62 e.g. upload the selection to a webserver and generate a url, or
63 similar stuff.
64 - use the scrollback buffer even when the scroll region doesn't
65 span the whole screen, as long as it starts at row 0. Helps
66 for programs displaying a status line at the bottom.
67 - selection popup now shows selection in dec/hex/oct.
68 - perl/selection: matching on unicode characters in the selection
69 code was O(n²), which equals infinity in some degenerate cases
70 :-> Matching is now done on UTF-8, which makes it almost instant.
71 - perl/selection, perl/selection-autotransform: regexes are now
72 being interpreted in the locale urxvt was started.
73 - implemented override-redirect option and enabled it on menus,
74 as kwin puts our windows behind the terminal (what a shoddy wm).
75 - fixed struct utmp check in configure for OpenBSD.
76 - complete overhaul of the pty/utmp management stuff and configure
77 (Emanuele Giaquinta).
78 - add tsl/fsl and related capabilities to the terminfo description,
79 to set the window title.
80 - swap the environment in some more cases. This hopefully fixes
81 some segfaults that might be caused by xft asking for env variables
82 at the wrong time.
83 - removed src/strings.C and src/menubar.C. No menubar support
84 anymore.
85 - removed all traces of SMOOTH_REFRESH.
86 - nuked QNX support.
87 - made some fixes to xpm offset and scaling code.
88 - perl-overlays and refresh hooks were not applied in correct order.
89 - changed coordinate-system of view_start/nsaved to be top to bottom.
90 - iom extended to support listening for child exits.
91
927.0 Fri Jan 13 14:02:18 CET 2006
93 - added sections for DISTRIBUTION MAINTAINERS and about
94 SETUID/SETGID to the FAQ.
95 - selection, searchable-scrollback, selection-popup and
96 option-popup extensions enabled by default.
97 - increased xft drawing speed for problematic fonts. The effect
98 will likely be small as 99% of the xft slowness is server-related.
99 - perl: much increased functionality, better overlays, popup support
100 and much much more.
101 - perl: urxvt::line now can set via ->t and ->r.
102 - perl: changed interpretation of --perl-ext-common and -pe.
103 - perl: finally implemented --perl-eval.
104 - perl: non-blocking anyevent support.
105 - perl: run tainted and ignore perl-eval/perl-lib if started
106 setuid/setgid.
107 - free the resource database: this plugs a massive memory leak. As a
108 side effect, it also gets rid of XGetDefault calls.
109 - free one of the cursors, fixes a small memory leak.
110 - built-in (as opposed to terminfos) visual bell was broken/too fast.
111 - applied minor cleanups by Ladislav Michnovic.
112 - applied pty handling cleanups and improvements (Emanuele Giaquinta).
113 - mark-urls launch-on-click by jepler.
114 - removed "small" resource parsing function, as it wasn't really
115 compatible, and not really small either.
116 - removed PATH_ENV and PATH file search support.
117 - removed support for locale-specific app-defaults file.
118 - fixed a bug where out-of-bounds colour sequences could lead
119 to crashes.
120 - limit colour changing to the standard 88 palette instead of all
121 colours.
122 - XTerm_Color01 sequence returned wrong results in query mode.
123 - iom.C now checks against destructed io_manager when unregistering.

1256.3 Wed Jan 4 22:37:10 CET 2006
126 - SECURITY FIX: on systems using openpty, permissions were
127 not correctly updated on the tty device and were left as
128 world-readable and world-writable (likely in original rxvt,
129 too), and were not restored properly. Affected are only
130 systems where non-unix ptys were used (such as most BSDs, not
131 GNU/Linux). (found, patched and debugged by Ryan Beasley).
132 - meta8 support was forcefully enabled in most configurations.
133 restored configurability of this (useless) feature (reported
134 by Mikachu).
15 - optionally embed a perl interpreter, which can be used for more 135 - optionally embed a perl interpreter, which can be used for more
16 intelligent/customized selection support, visual feedback, menus 136 intelligent/customized selection support, visual feedback,
17 etc. See the urxvtperl manpage. 137 menus, tabs etc. See the the urxvtperl manpage, the -pe option,
18 - improved sched_yield support. 138 perl*-resources and keysym resources. Not everything is there yet.
139 - try to be more clever about differing font sizes and their ascent.
140 Not guarenteed to work, but works better in most cases now.
141 - fix directory permissions on install.
142 - implemented option to disable built-in line drawing characters
143 and fall back to the font ones (patch by Martin Pohlack).
144 - disabled sched_yield support: the linux version is just too useless
145 (it schedules nice'd processes before the own one for extended
146 periods). Too bad, it could reduce system time by a factor of 5 here.
