12SECURITY FIX: systems using openpty (most BSDs) had wrong permissions 147.0

14affected. Apart from this, the meta8 option is no longer forcefully 16TODO: document searchable-scorllback hotkey
15enabled. New features: urxvt now supports embedded perl, which can already 17 - added sections for DISTRIBUTION MAINTAINERS and about
16do useful things and will certainly be extended in the future. 18 SETUID/SETGID to the FAQ.
19 - selection, searchable-scrollback, selection-popup and
20 option-popup extensions enabled by default.
21 - increased xft drawing speed for problematic fonts. The effect
22 will likely be small as 99% of the xft slowness is server-related.
23 - perl: much increased functionality, better overlays, popup support
24 and much much more.
25 - perl: urxvt::line now can set via ->t and ->r.
26 - perl: changed interpretation of --perl-ext-common and -pe.
27 - perl: finally implemented --perl-eval.
28 - perl: non-blocking anyevent support.
29 - perl: run tainted and ignore perl-eval/perl-lib if started
30 setuid/setgid.
31 - free the resource database: this plugs a massive memory leak. As a
32 side effect, it also gets rid of XGetDefault calls.
33 - free one of the cursors, fixes a small memory leak.
34 - built-in (as opposed to terminfos) visual bell was broken/too fast.
35 - applied minor cleanups by Ladislav Michnovic.
36 - applied better configure support for openpty by Emanuele Giaquinta.
37 - mark-urls launch-on-click by jepler.
38 - removed "small" resource parsing function, as it wasn't really
39 compatible, and not really small either.
40 - removed PATH_ENV and PATH file search support.
41 - removed support for locale-specific app-defaults file.
42 - fixed a bug where out-of-bounds colour sequences could lead
43 to crashes.
44 - limit colour changing to the standard 88 palette instead of all
45 colours.
46 - XTerm_Color01 sequence returned wrong results in query mode.
