13 16
149.0 17 - don't let iso14755 or mouse reporting get into the way of perl
18 (could lead to global grabs never being cleared).
19 - experimental OnTheSpot editing support (-pe xim-onthespot).
20 - moved Shift-Button2 paste combination to Meta-Button2.
21 - the cutchars resource will now be respected and used by the
22 selection extension.
23 - added the "remote-selection" extension which just runs external
24 commands to fetch and store the selection data.
25 - removed (unused) arabic presentation form composing sequences.
26 - be more strict when deciding that a core font glyph is too wide and
27 needs the careful rendering mode.
28 - allow more leeway for italic fonts when deciding that a character is
29 too wide and needs careful mode.
30 - redraw even more characters around characters usign careful mode.
31 - reduced number of server turnarounds at startup by allocating
32 atoms only once per display.
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.
15 - use the scrollback buffer even when the scroll region doesn't 78 - use the scrollback buffer even when the scroll region doesn't
16 span the whole screen, as long as it starts at row 0. 79 span the whole screen, as long as it starts at row 0. Helps
80 for programs displaying a status line at the bottom.
17 - selection popup now shows selection in dec/hex/oct. 81 - selection popup now shows selection in dec/hex/oct.

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.
23 - perl-overlays and refresh hooks were not applied in correct order. 102 - perl-overlays and refresh hooks were not applied in correct order.
