15TODO: overlays collide with the way the out-of-focus cursor is being drawn
16 - don't let iso14755 or mouse reporting get into the way of perl
17 (could lead to global grabs never being cleared).
18 - experimental OnTheSpot editing support (-pe xim-onthespot).
19 - moved Shift-Button2 paste combination to Meta-Button2.
20 - the cutchars resource will now be respected and used by the
21 selection extension.
22 - added the "remote-clipboard" extension which just runs external
23 commands to fetch and store the selection data.
24 - removed (unused) arabic presentation form composing sequences.
25 - be more strict when deciding that a core font glyph is too wide and
26 needs the careful rendering mode.
27 - allow more leeway for italic fonts when deciding that a character is
28 too wide and needs careful mode.
29 - redraw even more characters around characters usign careful mode.
30 - made selection-pastebin fully asynchronous.
31 - reduced number of server turnarounds at startup by allocating
32 atoms only once per display.
33 - renamed on_keyboard_command to on_user_command.
34 - changed version sos (ESC [ > c) response to be more compatible with
35 xterm.

377.2 Sun Jan 22 21:58:16 CET 2006
38 - bugfix: urxvt (not urxvtd) did not correctly handle multiple
39 environments necessary, which resulted in segfaults within
40 getenv (reproducable: urxvt -fn 9x15, open a menu once,
41 ctrl-shift-672c).
42 - bugfix: the selection speedup in in 7.1 unfortunately caused
43 non-ascii characters to enlarge/move the selection.
44 - bugfix: resizing sometimes leaked lines from the secondary to
45 the primary screen.
46 - bugfix: reducing window size while large amounts of text were output
47 could lead to an assertion failure.
48 - added "tabbed" extension that provides a crude tabbed terminal.
49 - added "readline" extension that allows cursor positioning
50 via mouse clicks.
51 - now it is possible to insert the value of the CLIPBOARD selection
52 with shift - mouse button 2.
53 - fixed the automove-background extension to ignore coordinates
54 in non-synthetic events.
55 - created a separate libpty for portable and secure
56 pty/tty/utmp/wtmp/lastlog handling, and include it in rxvt-unicode.
57 - the non-terminfo visual bell now works asynchronously, so
58 continuous ASCI BELs in one terminal do no longer monopolise the
59 whole urxvt[d] process.
60 - support some *BSD makes (for the time being, gnu make is a safe bet).
61 - work around bugs in FreeBSD's gcc.
62 - implemented some *BSD fixes in configure.
63 - removed support for obsolete offix dnd protocol.
64
657.1 Thu Jan 19 20:25:34 CET 2006
66 - setuid/setgid operation is now _encouraged_: security has been
67 improved by moving privileged operations into a separate process
68 and permanently dropping privileges within the terminal. This
69 makes it possible to remove security checks from the perl code
70 and gives a much safer feeling when urxvt needs to run with
71 special privileges.
72 - perl taint checking disabled, as urxvt no longer runs setuid/setgid
73 itself.
74 - new perl extension automove-background that can be used to get
75 the same effect as pseudo-transparency with any pixmap.
76 - new perl extension example: perl/selection-pastebin, can be used to
77 e.g. upload the selection to a webserver and generate a url, or
78 similar stuff.
79 - use the scrollback buffer even when the scroll region doesn't
80 span the whole screen, as long as it starts at row 0. Helps
81 for programs displaying a status line at the bottom.
82 - selection popup now shows selection in dec/hex/oct.
83 - perl/selection: matching on unicode characters in the selection
84 code was O(n²), which equals infinity in some degenerate cases
85 :-> Matching is now done on UTF-8, which makes it almost instant.
86 - perl/selection, perl/selection-autotransform: regexes are now
87 being interpreted in the locale urxvt was started.
88 - implemented override-redirect option and enabled it on menus,
89 as kwin puts our windows behind the terminal (what a shoddy wm).
90 - fixed struct utmp check in configure for OpenBSD.
91 - complete overhaul of the pty/utmp management stuff and configure
92 (Emanuele Giaquinta).
93 - add tsl/fsl and related capabilities to the terminfo description,
94 to set the window title.
95 - swap the environment in some more cases. This hopefully fixes
96 some segfaults that might be caused by xft asking for env variables
97 at the wrong time.
98 - removed src/strings.C and src/menubar.C. No menubar support
99 anymore.
100 - removed all traces of SMOOTH_REFRESH.
101 - nuked QNX support.
102 - made some fixes to xpm offset and scaling code.
103 - perl-overlays and refresh hooks were not applied in correct order.
104 - changed coordinate-system of view_start/nsaved to be top to bottom.
105 - iom extended to support listening for child exits.
