156.2 12 - added sections for DISTRIBUTION MAINTAINERS and about
16 - SECURITY FIX: on systems using openpty (not GNU/Linux, probably 13 SETUID/SETGID to the FAQ.
17 most BSDs), privileges weren't dropped before opening the pty, 14 - selection, searchable-scrollback, selection-popup and
18 resulting in wrong permissions on the pseudo terminal. 15 option-popup extensions enabled by default.
19 Reported and fixed by Ryan Beasley. 16 - increased xft drawing speed for problematic fonts. The effect
17 will likely be small as 99% of the xft slowness is server-related.
18 - perl: much increased functionality, better overlays, popup support
19 and much much more.
20 - perl: urxvt::line now can set via ->t and ->r.
21 - perl: changed interpretation of --perl-ext-common and -pe.
22 - perl: finally implemented --perl-eval.
23 - perl: non-blocking anyevent support.
24 - perl: run tainted and ignore perl-eval/perl-lib if started
25 setuid/setgid.
26 - free the resource database: this plugs a massive memory leak. As a
27 side effect, it also gets rid of XGetDefault calls.
28 - free one of the cursors, fixes a small memory leak.
29 - built-in (as opposed to terminfos) visual bell was broken/too fast.

32 - SECURITY FIX: on systems using openpty, permissions were
33 not correctly updated on the tty device and were left as
34 world-readable and world-writable (likely in original rxvt,
35 too), and were not restored properly. Affected are only
36 systems where non-unix ptys were used (such as most BSDs, not
37 GNU/Linux). (found, patched and debugged by Ryan Beasley).
38 - meta8 support was forcefully enabled in most configurations.
39 restored configurability of this (useless) feature (reported
40 by Mikachu).
41 - optionally embed a perl interpreter, which can be used for more
42 intelligent/customized selection support, visual feedback,
43 menus, tabs etc. See the the urxvtperl manpage, the -pe option,
44 perl*-resources and keysym resources. Not everything is there yet.
45 - try to be more clever about differing font sizes and their ascent.
46 Not guarenteed to work, but works better in most cases now.
47 - fix directory permissions on install.
48 - implemented option to disable built-in line drawing characters
49 and fall back to the font ones (patch by Martin Pohlack).
50 - disabled sched_yield support: the linux version is just too useless
51 (it schedules nice'd processes before the own one for extended
52 periods). Too bad, it could reduce system time by a factor of 5 here.

63 - include one trailing space in rectangular selections to indicate
64 the inserted newline (yeah, weird, but visually more pleasing).
65 - try to use sched_yield to (drastically) improve terminal data
66 transfer efficiency.
28 - further minor cleanups. 67 - further minor cleanups.
