237.2 Sun Jan 22 21:58:16 CET 2006
24 - bugfix: urxvt (not urxvtd) did not correctly handle multiple
25 environments necessary, which resulted in segfaults within
26 getenv (reproducable: urxvt -fn 9x15, open a menu once,
27 ctrl-shift-672c).
28 - bugfix: the selection speedup in in 7.1 unfortunately caused
29 non-ascii characters to enlarge/move the selection.
30 - bugfix: resizing sometimes leaked lines from the secondary to
31 the primary screen.
32 - bugfix: reducing window size while large amounts of text were output
33 could lead to an assertion failure.
34 - added "tabbed" extension that provides a crude tabbed terminal.
35 - added "readline" extension that allows cursor positioning
36 via mouse clicks.
37 - now it is possible to insert the value of the CLIPBOARD selection
38 with shift - mouse button 2.
39 - fixed the automove-background extension to ignore coordinates
40 in non-synthetic events.
41 - created a separate libpty for portable and secure
42 pty/tty/utmp/wtmp/lastlog handling, and include it in rxvt-unicode.
43 - the non-terminfo visual bell now works asynchronously, so
44 continuous ASCI BELs in one terminal do no longer monopolise the
45 whole urxvt[d] process.
46 - support some *BSD makes (for the time being, gnu make is a safe bet).
47 - work around bugs in FreeBSD's gcc.
48 - implemented some *BSD fixes in configure.
49 - removed support for obsolete offix dnd protocol.

517.1 Thu Jan 19 20:25:34 CET 2006
52 - setuid/setgid operation is now _encouraged_: security has been
53 improved by moving privileged operations into a separate process
54 and permanently dropping privileges within the terminal. This
55 makes it possible to remove security checks from the perl code
56 and gives a much safer feeling when urxvt needs to run with
57 special privileges.
58 - perl taint checking disabled, as urxvt no longer runs setuid/setgid
59 itself.
60 - new perl extension automove-background that can be used to get
61 the same effect as pseudo-transparency with any pixmap.
62 - new perl extension example: perl/selection-pastebin, can be used to
63 e.g. upload the selection to a webserver and generate a url, or
64 similar stuff.
65 - use the scrollback buffer even when the scroll region doesn't
66 span the whole screen, as long as it starts at row 0. Helps
67 for programs displaying a status line at the bottom.
68 - selection popup now shows selection in dec/hex/oct.
69 - perl/selection: matching on unicode characters in the selection
70 code was O(n²), which equals infinity in some degenerate cases
71 :-> Matching is now done on UTF-8, which makes it almost instant.
72 - perl/selection, perl/selection-autotransform: regexes are now
73 being interpreted in the locale urxvt was started.
74 - implemented override-redirect option and enabled it on menus,
75 as kwin puts our windows behind the terminal (what a shoddy wm).
76 - fixed struct utmp check in configure for OpenBSD.
77 - complete overhaul of the pty/utmp management stuff and configure
78 (Emanuele Giaquinta).
79 - add tsl/fsl and related capabilities to the terminfo description,
80 to set the window title.
81 - swap the environment in some more cases. This hopefully fixes
82 some segfaults that might be caused by xft asking for env variables
83 at the wrong time.
84 - removed src/strings.C and src/menubar.C. No menubar support
85 anymore.
86 - removed all traces of SMOOTH_REFRESH.
87 - nuked QNX support.
88 - made some fixes to xpm offset and scaling code.
89 - perl-overlays and refresh hooks were not applied in correct order.
90 - changed coordinate-system of view_start/nsaved to be top to bottom.
91 - iom extended to support listening for child exits.
