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