12SECURITY FIX: systems using openpty (most BSDs) had wrong permissions on 149.0
13the tty. Other systems (such as GNU/Linux) were not affected. Bug fixes: 15TODO: distributed clipboard example
14the meta8 option ("weird alt key behaviour") is no longer forcefully 16 - fixed struct utmp check in configure for OpenBSD
15enabled. New features: urxvt now supports embedded perl, which can already 17 - new script: perl/selection-pastebin
16do useful things and will certainly be extended in the future. 18 - improved security of setuid/setgid operation, which is now
19 encouraged, by moving privileged operations into a separate
20 process and permanently dropping privileges within the
21 terminal. This makes it possible to remove security checks from
22 the perl code and gives a much safer feeling when urxvt needs to
23 run with special privileges.
24 - use the scrollback buffer even when the scroll region doesn't
25 span the whole screen, as long as it starts at row 0.
26 - swap the environment in some more cases. This hopefully fixes
27 some segfaults that might be caused by xft asking for env variables
28 at the wrong time.
29 - selection popup now shows selection in dec/hex/oct.
30 - perl/selection: matching on unicode characters in the selection
31 code was O(n²), which equals infinity in some degenerate cases
32 :-> Matching is now done on UTF-8, which makes it almost instant.
33 - perl/selection, perl/selection-autotransform: regexes are now
34 being interpreted in the locale urxvt was started.
35 - perl-overlays and refresh hooks were not applied in correct order.
36 - changed coordinate-system of view_start/nsaved to be top to bottom.
37 - complete overhaul of the pty/utmp management stuff and configure
38 (Emanuele Giaquinta).
39 - removed src/strings.C and src/menubar.C. No menubar support
40 anymore.
41 - add tsl/fsl and related capabilities to the terminfo description,
42 to set the window title.
43 - removed all traces of SMOOTH_REFRESH.
44 - nuked QNX support.

186.3 467.0 Fri Jan 13 14:02:18 CET 2006
47 - added sections for DISTRIBUTION MAINTAINERS and about
48 SETUID/SETGID to the FAQ.
49 - selection, searchable-scrollback, selection-popup and
50 option-popup extensions enabled by default.
51 - increased xft drawing speed for problematic fonts. The effect
52 will likely be small as 99% of the xft slowness is server-related.
53 - perl: much increased functionality, better overlays, popup support
54 and much much more.
55 - perl: urxvt::line now can set via ->t and ->r.
56 - perl: changed interpretation of --perl-ext-common and -pe.
57 - perl: finally implemented --perl-eval.
58 - perl: non-blocking anyevent support.
59 - perl: run tainted and ignore perl-eval/perl-lib if started
60 setuid/setgid.
61 - free the resource database: this plugs a massive memory leak. As a
62 side effect, it also gets rid of XGetDefault calls.
63 - free one of the cursors, fixes a small memory leak.
64 - built-in (as opposed to terminfos) visual bell was broken/too fast.
65 - applied minor cleanups by Ladislav Michnovic.
66 - applied pty handling cleanups and improvements (Emanuele Giaquinta).
67 - mark-urls launch-on-click by jepler.
68 - removed "small" resource parsing function, as it wasn't really
69 compatible, and not really small either.
70 - removed PATH_ENV and PATH file search support.
71 - removed support for locale-specific app-defaults file.
72 - fixed a bug where out-of-bounds colour sequences could lead
73 to crashes.
74 - limit colour changing to the standard 88 palette instead of all
75 colours.
76 - XTerm_Color01 sequence returned wrong results in query mode.
77 - iom.C now checks against destructed io_manager when unregistering.
