12TODO: document transient_for, vt and the grab etc. functionality
13TODO: add warning about perl interpreter and setuid/setgid
14
15 - perl: implement additional hook: line_update, add_lines.
16 - perl: urxvt::line now can set via ->t and ->r.
17 - perl: changed interpretation of --perl-ext-common and -pe.
18 - perl: finally implemented --perl-eval.
19 - perl: much increased functionality, better overlays, popup support
20 and much much more.
21 - perl: anyevent support.
22 - free the resource database: this plugs a massive memory hole. as a
23 side effect, it also gets rid of XGetDefault calls.
24 - free one of the cursors, fixes a small memory leaks.
25
266.3 Wed Jan 4 22:37:10 CET 2006
27 - SECURITY FIX: on systems using openpty, permissions were
28 not correctly updated on the tty device and were left as
29 world-readable and world-writable (likely in original rxvt,
30 too), and were not restored properly. Affected are only
31 systems where non-unix ptys were used (such as most BSDs, not
32 GNU/Linux). (found, patched and debugged by Ryan Beasley).
33 - meta8 support was forcefully enabled in most configurations.
34 restored configurability of this (useless) feature (reported
35 by Mikachu).
36 - optionally embed a perl interpreter, which can be used for more
37 intelligent/customized selection support, visual feedback,
38 menus, tabs etc. See the the urxvtperl manpage, the -pe option,
39 perl*-resources and keysym resources. Not everything is there yet.
40 - try to be more clever about differing font sizes and their ascent.
41 Not guarenteed to work, but works better in most cases now.
42 - fix directory permissions on install.
43 - implemented option to disable built-in line drawing characters
44 and fall back to the font ones (patch by Martin Pohlack).
45 - disabled sched_yield support: the linux version is just too useless
46 (it schedules nice'd processes before the own one for extended
47 periods). Too bad, it could reduce system time by a factor of 5 here.
48
496.2 Mon Jan 2 16:03:01 CET 2006
50 - implemented intensityStyles option which enables/disables bold/blink
51 selecting high intensity foreground/background colours, suggested by
52 Chuck Blake.
53 - move iso14755 character feedback box out of the way if it would
54 obscure the mouse cursor position.
55 - replaced callback.h by a fixed version from gvpe that correctly
56 returns the callback result (affects new -pty-fd semantics in urxvtc
57 on a few architectures). Reported by darix.
58 - include one trailing space in rectangular selections to indicate
59 the inserted newline (yeah, weird, but visually more pleasing).
60 - try to use sched_yield to (drastically) improve terminal data
61 transfer efficiency.
62 - further minor cleanups.
63
646.1 Tue Dec 27 13:23:40 CET 2005
65 - update iso8859-7 table (euro and drachma round-trip et al.).
66 - fix a crash when the selection scrolls out of the scrollback
67 while the user still drags.
68 - selections that were partially scrolled out of the window were
69 not drawn correctly.
70 - lines newly scrolled in were not initialized properly, leading
71 to extremely long lines and (hopefully) some segfaults.
72 - iso14755 overlay position was wrong.
73 - iso14755 overlay now displays rendition info, too.
74 - use unicode white space class instead of hardcoded values for
75 stripping whitespace.
76 - do whitespace stripping on rectangular selections.
77 - slight cleanups in src/features.h.
78
796.0 Sat Dec 24 13:58:56 CET 2005
80 - make it compile without SMART_RESIZE again.
81 - enable slow link support by default.
82 - fix relative cursor-positioning not respecting scrolling regions
83 (also a bug in original rxvt).
84 - initialize termios structure to zero when fetching it fails
85 (see http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=84647 for a
86 partial patch).
87 - bump max columns/rows to 10000 each.
88 - bump max savelines to 10000000.
89 - -pty-fd now passes the urxvtc fd to the urxvtd process.
90 - avoid linking against -lnsl/-lsocket/-lxpg4 unless neccessary.
91 - major code cleanup (still not complete, though).
92 - implement -hold option.
93 - _major_ rewrite of internal buffer handling:
94 - re-flow on resize, lines get wrapped instead of winged.
95 - circular line buffer (substantially speeds up scrolling).
96 - slightly less code + data memory usage per terminal.
97 - slight overall speed improvements.
98 - considerably improved code clarity.
99 - partial-screen scrolls no longer end up in the scrollback
100 buffer.

19 (matters only for rxvtd). 105 (matters only for rxvtd).
106 - fix small typoe in rxvt.1 (found by Mike Fabian).
107 - don't crash when broken xft/fontconfig/freetype versions return
108 bogus data, ignore the xft font instead (experienced on suse).
