159.0
16 - use the scrollback buffer even when the scroll region doesn't
17 span the whole screen, as long as it starts at row 0.
18 - swap the environment in some more cases. This hopefully fixes
19 some segfaults that might be caused by xft asking for env variables
20 at the wrong time.
21 - selection popup now shows selection in dec/hex/oct.
22 - perl/selection: matching on unicode characters in the selection
23 code was O(n²), which equals infinity in some degenerate cases
24 :-> Matching is now done on UTF-8, which makes it almost instant.
25 - perl/selection, perl/selection-autotransform: regexes are now
26 being interpreted in the locale urxvt was started.
27 - perl-overlays and refresh hooks were not applied in correct order.
28 - changed coordinate-system of view_start/nsaved to be top to bottom.
29 - complete overhaul of the pty/utmp management stuff and configure
30 (Emanuele Giaquinta).
31 - removed src/strings.C and src/menubar.C. No menubar support
32 anymore.
33 - add tsl/fsl and related capabilities to the terminfo description,
34 to set the window title.
35 - nuked QNX support.
36
377.0 Fri Jan 13 14:02:18 CET 2006
38 - added sections for DISTRIBUTION MAINTAINERS and about
39 SETUID/SETGID to the FAQ.
40 - selection, searchable-scrollback, selection-popup and
41 option-popup extensions enabled by default.
42 - increased xft drawing speed for problematic fonts. The effect
43 will likely be small as 99% of the xft slowness is server-related.
44 - perl: much increased functionality, better overlays, popup support
45 and much much more.
46 - perl: urxvt::line now can set via ->t and ->r.
47 - perl: changed interpretation of --perl-ext-common and -pe.
48 - perl: finally implemented --perl-eval.
49 - perl: non-blocking anyevent support.
50 - perl: run tainted and ignore perl-eval/perl-lib if started
51 setuid/setgid.
52 - free the resource database: this plugs a massive memory leak. As a
53 side effect, it also gets rid of XGetDefault calls.
54 - free one of the cursors, fixes a small memory leak.
55 - built-in (as opposed to terminfos) visual bell was broken/too fast.
56 - applied minor cleanups by Ladislav Michnovic.
57 - applied pty handling cleanups and improvements (Emanuele Giaquinta).
58 - mark-urls launch-on-click by jepler.
59 - removed "small" resource parsing function, as it wasn't really
60 compatible, and not really small either.
61 - removed PATH_ENV and PATH file search support.
62 - removed support for locale-specific app-defaults file.
63 - fixed a bug where out-of-bounds colour sequences could lead
64 to crashes.
65 - limit colour changing to the standard 88 palette instead of all
66 colours.
67 - XTerm_Color01 sequence returned wrong results in query mode.
68 - iom.C now checks against destructed io_manager when unregistering.

706.3 Wed Jan 4 22:37:10 CET 2006
71 - SECURITY FIX: on systems using openpty, permissions were
72 not correctly updated on the tty device and were left as
73 world-readable and world-writable (likely in original rxvt,
74 too), and were not restored properly. Affected are only
75 systems where non-unix ptys were used (such as most BSDs, not
76 GNU/Linux). (found, patched and debugged by Ryan Beasley).
77 - meta8 support was forcefully enabled in most configurations.
78 restored configurability of this (useless) feature (reported
79 by Mikachu).
80 - optionally embed a perl interpreter, which can be used for more
81 intelligent/customized selection support, visual feedback,
82 menus, tabs etc. See the the urxvtperl manpage, the -pe option,
83 perl*-resources and keysym resources. Not everything is there yet.
84 - try to be more clever about differing font sizes and their ascent.
85 Not guarenteed to work, but works better in most cases now.
86 - fix directory permissions on install.
87 - implemented option to disable built-in line drawing characters
88 and fall back to the font ones (patch by Martin Pohlack).
89 - disabled sched_yield support: the linux version is just too useless
90 (it schedules nice'd processes before the own one for extended
91 periods). Too bad, it could reduce system time by a factor of 5 here.
92
936.2 Mon Jan 2 16:03:01 CET 2006
94 - implemented intensityStyles option which enables/disables bold/blink
95 selecting high intensity foreground/background colours, suggested by
96 Chuck Blake.
97 - move iso14755 character feedback box out of the way if it would
98 obscure the mouse cursor position.
99 - replaced callback.h by a fixed version from gvpe that correctly
100 returns the callback result (affects new -pty-fd semantics in urxvtc
101 on a few architectures). Reported by darix.
102 - include one trailing space in rectangular selections to indicate
103 the inserted newline (yeah, weird, but visually more pleasing).
104 - try to use sched_yield to (drastically) improve terminal data
105 transfer efficiency.
106 - further minor cleanups.
107
1086.1 Tue Dec 27 13:23:40 CET 2005
109 - update iso8859-7 table (euro and drachma round-trip et al.).
110 - fix a crash when the selection scrolls out of the scrollback
111 while the user still drags.
112 - selections that were partially scrolled out of the window were
113 not drawn correctly.
114 - lines newly scrolled in were not initialized properly, leading
115 to extremely long lines and (hopefully) some segfaults.
116 - iso14755 overlay position was wrong.
117 - iso14755 overlay now displays rendition info, too.
118 - use unicode white space class instead of hardcoded values for
119 stripping whitespace.
120 - do whitespace stripping on rectangular selections.
121 - slight cleanups in src/features.h.
122
1236.0 Sat Dec 24 13:58:56 CET 2005
124 - make it compile without SMART_RESIZE again.
125 - enable slow link support by default.
126 - fix relative cursor-positioning not respecting scrolling regions
127 (also a bug in original rxvt).
128 - initialize termios structure to zero when fetching it fails
129 (see http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=84647 for a
130 partial patch).
131 - bump max columns/rows to 10000 each.
132 - bump max savelines to 10000000.
133 - -pty-fd now passes the urxvtc fd to the urxvtd process.
134 - avoid linking against -lnsl/-lsocket/-lxpg4 unless neccessary.
135 - major code cleanup (still not complete, though).
136 - implement -hold option.
137 - _major_ rewrite of internal buffer handling:
138 - re-flow on resize, lines get wrapped instead of winged.
139 - circular line buffer (substantially speeds up scrolling).
140 - slightly less code + data memory usage per terminal.
141 - slight overall speed improvements.
142 - considerably improved code clarity.
143 - partial-screen scrolls no longer end up in the scrollback
144 buffer.

47 could almost freeze output. This has been fixed by adding extra 179 could almost freeze output. This has been fixed by adding extra
