187.4 Sat Jan 28 15:26:27 CET 2006
19 - screen background wasn't always erased properly when scrolling,
20 - re-enabled clearing optimisation disabled in 7.4pre.
21 - small configure updates for libptytty.
22 - fixed version options: line output.
23 - removed stoopid debugging message left in the code.
24
257.3 Wed Jan 25 22:47:35 CET 2006
26 - don't let iso14755 or mouse reporting get into the way of perl
27 (could lead to global grabs never being cleared).
28 - experimental OnTheSpot editing support (-pe xim-onthespot).
29 - moved Shift-Button2 paste combination to Meta-Button2.
30 - the cutchars resource will now be respected and used by the
31 selection extension.
32 - added the "remote-clipboard" extension which just runs external
33 commands to fetch and store the selection data.
34 - added -depth switch that tries to get a different visual depth
35 than the default (replaces the old PREFER_24_BIT logic).
36 - removed (unused) arabic presentation form composing sequences.
37 - be more strict when deciding that a core font glyph is too wide and
38 needs the careful rendering mode.
39 - allow more leeway for italic fonts when deciding that a character is
40 too wide and needs careful mode.
41 - redraw even more characters around characters using careful mode.
42 - made selection-pastebin fully asynchronous.
43 - reduced number of server turnarounds at startup by allocating
44 atoms only once per display.
45 - renamed on_keyboard_command to on_user_command.
46 - changed version sos (ESC [ > c) response to be more compatible with
47 xterm.

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