The effect + will likely be small as 99% of the xft slowness is server-related. + - perl: much increased functionality, better overlays, popup support + and much much more. + - perl: urxvt::line now can set via ->t and ->r. + - perl: changed interpretation of --perl-ext-common and -pe. + - perl: finally implemented --perl-eval. + - perl: non-blocking anyevent support. + - perl: run tainted and ignore perl-eval/perl-lib if started + setuid/setgid. + - free the resource database: this plugs a massive memory leak.
