12TODO: document transient_for, vt 197.1 Thu Jan 19 18:56:55 CET 2006
20 - setuid/setgid operation is now _encouraged_: security has been
21 improved by moving privileged operations into a separate process
22 and permanently dropping privileges within the terminal. This
23 makes it possible to remove security checks from the perl code
24 and gives a much safer feeling when urxvt needs to run with
25 special privileges.
26 - perl taint checking disabled, as urxvt no longer runs setuid/setgid
27 itself.
28 - new perl extension automove-background that can be used to get
29 the same effect as pseudo-transparency with any pixmap.
30 - new perl extension example: perl/selection-pastebin, can be used to
31 e.g. upload the selection to a webserver and generate a url, or
32 similar stuff.
33 - use the scrollback buffer even when the scroll region doesn't
34 span the whole screen, as long as it starts at row 0. Helps
35 for programs displaying a status line at the bottom.
36 - selection popup now shows selection in dec/hex/oct.
37 - perl/selection: matching on unicode characters in the selection
38 code was O(n²), which equals infinity in some degenerate cases
39 :-> Matching is now done on UTF-8, which makes it almost instant.
40 - perl/selection, perl/selection-autotransform: regexes are now
41 being interpreted in the locale urxvt was started.
42 - implemented override-redirect option and enabled it on menus,
43 as kwin puts our windows behind the terminal (what a shoddy wm).
44 - fixed struct utmp check in configure for OpenBSD.
45 - complete overhaul of the pty/utmp management stuff and configure
46 (Emanuele Giaquinta).
47 - add tsl/fsl and related capabilities to the terminfo description,
48 to set the window title.
49 - swap the environment in some more cases. This hopefully fixes
50 some segfaults that might be caused by xft asking for env variables
51 at the wrong time.
52 - removed src/strings.C and src/menubar.C. No menubar support
53 anymore.
54 - removed all traces of SMOOTH_REFRESH.
55 - nuked QNX support.
56 - made some fixes to xpm offset and scaling code.
57 - perl-overlays and refresh hooks were not applied in correct order.
58 - changed coordinate-system of view_start/nsaved to be top to bottom.
59 - iom extended to support listening for child exits.

14 - perl: implement additional hook: line_update, add_lines. 617.0 Fri Jan 13 14:02:18 CET 2006
62 - added sections for DISTRIBUTION MAINTAINERS and about
63 SETUID/SETGID to the FAQ.
64 - selection, searchable-scrollback, selection-popup and
65 option-popup extensions enabled by default.
66 - increased xft drawing speed for problematic fonts. The effect
67 will likely be small as 99% of the xft slowness is server-related.
68 - perl: much increased functionality, better overlays, popup support
69 and much much more.
15 - perl: urxvt::line now can set via ->t and ->r. 70 - perl: urxvt::line now can set via ->t and ->r.
71 - perl: changed interpretation of --perl-ext-common and -pe.
72 - perl: finally implemented --perl-eval.
73 - perl: non-blocking anyevent support.
74 - perl: run tainted and ignore perl-eval/perl-lib if started
75 setuid/setgid.
76 - free the resource database: this plugs a massive memory leak. As a
77 side effect, it also gets rid of XGetDefault calls.
78 - free one of the cursors, fixes a small memory leak.
79 - built-in (as opposed to terminfos) visual bell was broken/too fast.
80 - applied minor cleanups by Ladislav Michnovic.
81 - applied pty handling cleanups and improvements (Emanuele Giaquinta).
82 - mark-urls launch-on-click by jepler.
83 - removed "small" resource parsing function, as it wasn't really
84 compatible, and not really small either.
85 - removed PATH_ENV and PATH file search support.
86 - removed support for locale-specific app-defaults file.
87 - fixed a bug where out-of-bounds colour sequences could lead
88 to crashes.
89 - limit colour changing to the standard 88 palette instead of all
90 colours.
91 - XTerm_Color01 sequence returned wrong results in query mode.
92 - iom.C now checks against destructed io_manager when unregistering.
