15TODO: run external commands more sytematically (using $self->env etc.) 22 - added "tabbed" extension that provides a crude tabbed terminal.
16TODO: document searchable-scorllback hotkey 23 - added "readline" extension that allows cursor positioning
17TODO: double-click and right-extend 24 via mouse clicks.
25 - now it is possible to insert the value of the CLIPBOARD selection
26 with shift - mouse button 2
27 - fixed the automove-background extension to ignore coordinates
28 in non-synthetic events.
29 - the non-terminfo visual bell is now done asynchronously, so
30 continous ASCI BELs in one terminal do no longer monopolise the
31 while urxvt[d] process.
32 - removed support for obsolete offix dnd protocol.

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