137.0 15TODO: overlays collide with the way the out-of-focus cursor is being drawn
14TODO: run external commands more sytematically (using $self->env etc.) 16 - don't let iso14755 or mouse reporting get into the way of perl
15TODO: document searchable-scorllback hotkey 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 - reduced number of server turnarounds at startup by allocating
31 atoms only once per display.
32 - renamed on_keyboard_command to on_user_command.
33 - changed version sos (ESC [ > c) response to be more compatible with
34 xterm.

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