166.2 12TODO: resources! resources! resources!
17 - SECURITY FIX: on systems using openpty (not GNU/Linux, probably 13TODO: better environment handling in rxvt/xim etc. and urxvt::term->new
18 most BSDs), privileges weren't dropped before opening the pty, 14TODO: selection-extending with rmb does not work?
19 resulting in wrong permissions on the pseudo terminal. 15 - added sections for DISTRIBUTION MAINTAINERS and about
20 Reported and fixed by Ryan Beasley. 16 SETUID/SETGID to the FAQ.
17 - selection, searchable-scrollback, selection-popup and
18 option-popup extensions enabled by default.
19 - increased xft drawing speed for problematic fonts. The effect
20 will likely be small as 99% of the xft slowness is server-related.
21 - perl: much increased functionality, better overlays, popup support
22 and much much more.
23 - perl: urxvt::line now can set via ->t and ->r.
24 - perl: changed interpretation of --perl-ext-common and -pe.
25 - perl: finally implemented --perl-eval.
26 - perl: non-blocking anyevent support.
27 - perl: run tainted and ignore perl-eval/perl-lib if started
28 setuid/setgid.
29 - free the resource database: this plugs a massive memory leak. As a
30 side effect, it also gets rid of XGetDefault calls.
31 - free one of the cursors, fixes a small memory leak.
32 - built-in (as opposed to terminfos) visual bell was broken/too fast.
33 - applied minor cleanups by Ladislav Michnovic.
34 - applied better configure support for openpty by Emanuele Giaquinta.
35 - mark-urls launch-on-click by jepler.
36 - removed "small" resource parsing function, as it wasn't really
37 compatible, and not really small either.
38 - removed PATH_ENV and PATH file search support.
39 - removed support for locale-specific app-defaults file.

416.3 Wed Jan 4 22:37:10 CET 2006
42 - SECURITY FIX: on systems using openpty, permissions were
43 not correctly updated on the tty device and were left as
44 world-readable and world-writable (likely in original rxvt,
45 too), and were not restored properly. Affected are only
46 systems where non-unix ptys were used (such as most BSDs, not
47 GNU/Linux). (found, patched and debugged by Ryan Beasley).
48 - meta8 support was forcefully enabled in most configurations.
49 restored configurability of this (useless) feature (reported
50 by Mikachu).
51 - optionally embed a perl interpreter, which can be used for more
52 intelligent/customized selection support, visual feedback,
53 menus, tabs etc. See the the urxvtperl manpage, the -pe option,
54 perl*-resources and keysym resources. Not everything is there yet.
55 - try to be more clever about differing font sizes and their ascent.
56 Not guarenteed to work, but works better in most cases now.
57 - fix directory permissions on install.
58 - implemented option to disable built-in line drawing characters
59 and fall back to the font ones (patch by Martin Pohlack).
60 - disabled sched_yield support: the linux version is just too useless
61 (it schedules nice'd processes before the own one for extended
62 periods). Too bad, it could reduce system time by a factor of 5 here.

646.2 Mon Jan 2 16:03:01 CET 2006
65 - implemented intensityStyles option which enables/disables bold/blink
66 selecting high intensity foreground/background colours, suggested by
67 Chuck Blake.
68 - move iso14755 character feedback box out of the way if it would
69 obscure the mouse cursor position.
21 - replaced callback.h by a fixed version from gvpe that correctly 70 - replaced callback.h by a fixed version from gvpe that correctly
22 returns the callback result (affects new -pty-fd semantics in urxvtc 71 returns the callback result (affects new -pty-fd semantics in urxvtc
23 on a few architectures). Reported by darix. 72 on a few architectures). Reported by darix.
73 - include one trailing space in rectangular selections to indicate
74 the inserted newline (yeah, weird, but visually more pleasing).
75 - try to use sched_yield to (drastically) improve terminal data
76 transfer efficiency.
77 - further minor cleanups.
