147.0 18 - don't let iso14755 or mouse reporting get into the way of perl
15TODO: run external commands more sytematically (using $self->env etc.) 19 (could lead to global grabs never being cleared).
16TODO: document searchable-scorllback hotkey 20 - experimental OnTheSpot editing support (-pe xim-onthespot).
17TODO: double-click and right-extend 21 - moved Shift-Button2 paste combination to Meta-Button2.
22 - removed (unused) arabic presentation form composing sequences.
23 - reduced number of server turnarounds at startup by allocating
24 atoms only once per display.
25 - changed version sos (ESC [ > c) response to be more compatible with
26 xterm.

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