137.0 18TODO: ctrl - mouse button2 in vim makes X freeze (unreproducable with cvs)

21 - moved Shift-Button2 paste combination to Meta-Button2.

23 - correctly ask XIM for events it needs to be enabled on the window.

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

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