3TODO: move pty/tty handling into a fork'ed server and drop all privs 3TODO: init_secondary serves what purpose? maybe move it to earlier startup phase and re-think
4TODO: harmonize --disable-options into position-dependent options. 4TODO: xcopyarea pass broken, fix and improve
5TODO: after requesting the selection and getting a timeout, no further requests will be sent. 5TODO: event mechanism that replaces on_keyboard_command with something more scalable.
6TODO: slipwheeling needs a keyboard grab to get key release events.
7TODO: overlays collide with the way the out-of-focus cursor is being drawn
6TODO: "slow" rendering mode for bidi and scripts 8TODO: "slow" rendering mode for bidi and scripts, pango!
7TODO: read property sequence is broken with respect to utf-8 etc. 9TODO: read property sequence is broken with respect to utf-8 etc.
8TODO: http://www120.pair.com/mccarthy/nextstep/intro.htmld/Workspace.html is the correct nextstep look. 10TODO: slow drag selection on remote display - other things seem fast (rxvt illness, motion hints?)
9TODO: clarify and get rid of SMOOTH_REFRESH etc. 11TODO: better resource handling for tabbar in -pe tabbed.
10WISH: perl extension for background image loading and moving the origin. 12WISH: investigate -pe tabbed -g 80x25 being 23 not 24 or 25 lines
11WISH: OnTheSpot editing, or maybe switch to miiiiiiif. or maybe use perl and an overlay... 13 => when setting the constraints, the wm might (correctly)
12WISH: just for fun, do shade and tint with XRender. 14 resize the outer window, which might result in a smaller window overall.
15 or something like that. guys, send me a patch.
16WISH: coloured pastebin
17WISH: selection-color-pair instead of reverse video
18WISH: load system-wide config file even if we don't have one
19WISH: look into XAddConnectionWatch, does anybody need that?
13WISH: support tex fonts 20DUMB: support tex fonts

159.0 22TODO: /*TODO: the xlceararea/xfillrectangle below don't take scroll offste into account, ask mikachu for details */
2300:25:39 <Mikachu> put your prompt around the middle row in the terminal
24 and while sleep 0.1; do printf '\e[J'; done
2500:26:31 <schmorp> i assume scorllttyoutput or so wouldinterfere?

28TODO: cursor over overlays, when focus change?
29 - the aterm code now frees the as visual and image manager objects
30 when a window was closed.
31 - do not (wrongly) adjust the virtual line length inside
32 scr_insdel_chars/ERASE (Miroslav Lichvar).
33 - fix an issue where wide tab characters caused character shifts
34 when part of them was deleted (tracked down by Miroslav Lichvar).
35 - artificially enlargen the previous character at the end of a line
36 when trying to output a character that doesn't fit. looks ugly, but
37 makes copy&paste work.
38 - remove bogus "setuid/setgid security issues" from rxvt.1.pod, they
39 no longer apply.
40 - the urgency hint is now cleared on both focus in and focus out.
41 - cache urgency hint locally to avoid server rtt on every focus change.
42 - perl 5.10 needs PERL_SYS_INIT3 on hppa.
43 - ignore byte-order marks and do not treat them like combining characters.
44 - fix build issue when CURSOR_BLINK is not defined (Emanuele Giaquinta).
45 - do some µ-optimisations to the character fast path.
46 - use a less cunning, but more robust algorithm to avoid one terminal
47 monopolising the whole process by outputting a lot of text.
48 - try to work around linux first breaking sched_yield and now breaking
49 the only known workaround.
50 - new option -icon to set _NET_WM_ICON (based on patch by Frank Schmitt).
51 - initialise the as visual only on demand, instead of unconditionally,
52 to save memory in the common case of not using visual gimmicks.
53 - try to work around a race between urxvt and wm's on programmatic
54 resizes by temporarily disabling size hints.
55 - implement the DECSTR soft reset sequence and use it for tput init,
56 and make hard RIS and DECSTR both reset more private modes, such
57 as mouse reporting.
58 - redundantly clear mouse reporting and a few other states in
59 tput init/tput reset, for older urxvts.
60 - partial/full clear screens did cause flickering and possibly pixel
61 droppings when urxvt viewed the scorllback buffer.
62
639.05 Sun Jun 15 20:09:20 CEST 2008
64 - new option --cd/chdir to set the starting working directory.
65 - tabbed extension now starts in the "correct" working directory.
66 - work around fedora 9 providing isastream but not the relevant
67 header file for it (report by Tuncer Ayaz).
68 - upgrade libev, fixing a bug in the select backend
69 with more than 31 file descriptors on non-linux 64 bit systems.
70 - correctly reset the multibyte state to the initial one
71 after EILSEQ (patch by Neil Booth). This fixes the
72 issue of rxvt-unicode not properly displaying text after an illegal
73 sequence on NetBSD and probably other systems.
74 - more intelligent property handling with -pe tabbed, works around
75 broken window managers (kwm et al.), saves bandwidth and should
76 help working window managers as well.
77 - made tabs moveable (based on a patch by Petr Machata).
78 - implement ESC [ 3 K as a more rational alternative to ESC [ 0 K.
79 - support relative paths for RXVT_SOCKET in urxvtd.
80 - the tabbed extension now blindly copies over all (rxvt-) resources
81 from the toplevel window to the children.
82 - better diagnostic on 0x0 window geometries.
83 - update AnyEvent API to version 3.4 and above.
84 - document the default value of :0 for DISPLAY.
85 - rename perl method XChangeWindowProperty to XChangeProperty.
86
879.02 Tue Jan 29 11:58:36 CET 2008
88 - the "exg makes everybody happy" release.
89 - fix build with !xft.
90 - always compile in plain style scrollbar (simplifies code and looks great).
91
929.01 Sat Jan 26 20:49:27 CET 2008
93 - be more aggressive about handling X events, this seems to be required
94 with newer xlibs (should fix the "screen stays black until event is
95 received" problem, again :)
96 - add buffered resource to control xft double-buffering.
97
989.0 Fri Jan 25 19:34:04 CET 2008
99 - fix a crash bug where urxvtd would crash when urxvtc was called
100 with wrong arguments (I wish debian maintainers in general would
101 report bugs and their proposed fixes to the original package maintaienrs
102 instead of sitting on them for good measure to see if anybody notices).
103 - drawing xft compose characters was causing garbage to be drawn.
104 - correctly clear xft character background in all cases.
105 - implement bracketed paste mode (xterm private mode 2004).
106 - improve documentation on alpha channel handling, make urxvt
107 work better on servers lacking the RENDER extension when alpha
108 channels or background images are used.
109 - check for refresh after initialising to avoid staying blank
110 till the first event arrives. or so.
111 - the FORCE_UNBUFFERED_XFT feature macro works again.
112 - continuously update transparency while moving/resizing now.
113 - OSC 39/49 are deprecated and aliased to OSC 10/11.
114 - cub1 now acts as advertised (and ignores the "wrapped" state).
115 - the 132/80 mode switch now forces a height of 24, too, and
116 resets the terminal.
117 - scrollbar code cleanups.
118 - stopping children is no longer confused with children exiting.
119 - removed (undocumented) #aarrggbb format.
120 - updated to libev 3.0.
121
1228.9 Mon Dec 24 07:51:40 CET 2007
123 - fix the issue where urxvtd would not immediately close a window
124 when the command exited but only on the next X event.
125 - changed terminfo file not to use application keypad mode.
126 - fix the issue where making a selection in one urxvtd window
127 would not clear it visually in another.
128 - fix an issue of urxvt not getting background pixmap updates
129 and flickering after bg pixmap changes (reported by Mikachu).
130 - fix redraw bug in xterm scrollbar with -sr (reported by Mikachu).
131 - correctly provide dependencies for libev (µikachu).
132 - minor code reorganisations and cleanups.
133 - be more robust in case the urxvt-popup extension cannot be loaded.
134
1358.8 Sat Dec 15 19:40:39 CET 2007
136 - option -C was aliased to all unsupported options, activating
137 options that shouldn't be compiled in, leading to interesting
138 effects.
139 - updated libev, working around a bug in linux 2.4, curing the
140 symptom of urxvt not closing its window on shell exit. also
141 fixes a problem with urxvt not refreshing.
142 - the text blink callback was called even when no blinking
143 text was visible.
144 - pre-8.4 slipwheeling behaviour has been reinstated, with
145 some minor improvements.
146 - streamlined x events processing to only flush once per
147 display and not once per terminal window.
148 - quite a bit of minor code cleanups and codesize optimisations.
149
1508.7 Sun Nov 25 10:23:49 CET 2007
151 - update libev with an important bugfix that would cause crashes
152 when closing windows (when using rxvtd, and update is recommended).
153 - do not compile in the block builtin graphics with --disable-frills.
154
1558.6 Fri Nov 23 14:10:57 CET 2007
156 - upgrade libev to disable kqueue on anything but netbsd as it
157 seems to be broken everywhere else w.r.t. ptys.
158 - allow for spurious event notifications, as at least epoll and
159 especially solaris ports like to lie about them (symptoms:
160 urxvt "hangs" until there is some x11 related activity).
161 - -keysym command line options are now subjected to xlib parsing.
162 - add 'xrm' option analogous to Xt one.
163
1648.5a Wed Nov 21 10:16:33 CET 2007
165 - make it compile with --disable-transparency.
166
1678.5 Wed Nov 21 05:19:20 CET 2007
168 - expect major portability issues in this release: please test and report.
169 - converted from the veritable io manager event loop to
170 the high performance libev (http://software.schmorp.de/pkg/libev).
171 - minor tuning to the perl selection (include single words and more quoting chars).
172 - fix memory leak in pixmap code.
173 - fix a serious bug while setting the XIM destroy callback
174 on (typical) 64 bit systems.
175 - automove-background functionality re-implemented internaly using :root op in pixmap
176 geometry string. For example: rxvt -pixmap "image.jpg;:root"
177 - do not link rxvtc against every lib on the planet anymore.
178 - parallel builds should work once more.
179
1808.4 Sat Oct 27 14:02:13 CEST 2007
181 - overhaul of the transparency/pixmap code (sasha).
182 - fix possible race betwen visual bell and poweron.
183 (reported by Martin von Gagern, gentoo?).
184 - urxvt -e no longer crashes the child.
185 - fixed some minor memleaks on incorrect usage or
186 missing DISPLAY.
187 - implement xterm 1002/1003 mouse tracking modes (exg).
188 - source code organisational cleanups (exg).
189 - updated io_manager.
190
1918.3 Wed Aug 1 20:21:31 CEST 2007
192 - new option: skipScroll/-ss, enabled by default.
193 - go with the times and expect x11 library files in /usr/lib, not
194 /usr/X11R6/lib.
195 - initial transparency improvement/afterimage support
196 patch by Sasha Vasko.
197 - add urgentOnBell resource to set the urgency hint
198 (patch by Philip Paeps).
199 - do not process focus events caused by grabs
200 (patch by Mikachu).
201 - add iso14755_52 resource to disable iso14755 5.2 (exg).
202 - add binding for backspace in iso14755 5.1 to remove the last
203 digit (exg).
204 - better option handling, support more than 30 options (exg).
205 - nuke reconf script, serves no purpose anymore.
206 - fixed and documented matcher/on_user_command processing in matcher
207 extension (tpope).
208 - compile out of the box on Solaris 10 (exg).
209 - fix MappingNotify events (reported by Stephan Walter).
210 - zero-initialise mwmhints, this seems to solve all sorts of minor
211 problems.
212
2138.2 Sat Feb 17 21:35:28 CET 2007
214 - fix make depend in src/, reported by exg.
215 - fixed typo in urxvt::GET_CUSTOM, causing the result to be wrong.
216 (patch by Sergey Vlasov).
217 - unbundled iom perl interface somewhat.
218 - scrollbar-xterm now uses the selected scrollColor instead of fg
219 (found by Aiviru).
220 - disabled linux kernel bug workaround again: disabling it gives
221 a 50% speed hit on affected machines, while enabling it gives
222 a similar speed hit to screen, which is likely the more common
223 case to work around for :/
224 - urxvt::rend2mask perl function, and utilization of it by matcher
225 (patch by Moshe Kamensky).
226 - use perl:matcher on a keysym to open most recently displayed URL.
227 - with matcher, when multiple patterns match, last wins, not first.
228 - fix make and make install with srcdir != builddir (exg).
229 - updated bundled libptytty to fix a bug where the tty would be kept
230 open (see the libptytty ChangeLog for details).
231 - delay setting the IUTF8 flag to after the tty settings have been
232 set so its value does not get lost (reported and analysed by Andrei
233 Paskevich).
234 - rip out support for obsolete sgtty.h interface.
235 - rip out support for non-POSIX termios variants.
236 - update libptytty.
237 - update iom.C, make it call ptytty::sanitise_stdfd on init.
238 - when !XFT, change rounding of colours to use a less correct formula to
239 meet user expectancies (#aaa becomes #a000a000a000 not #9f9f9f9f9f9f).
240 - change the starting offset of the pixmap set with backgroundPixmap
241 from (50,50) to (0,0) (exg).
242 - fix a typo in button_release, now meta-button2 request the value of
243 the Clipboard selection as it should (patch by Serge Koksharov).
244 - fix a bug in drawing a cell with a nonspacing char when using an xft
245 font with inheritPixmap and tintColor (exg).
246
2478.1 Thu Dec 7 22:27:25 CET 2006
248 - ケリスマスプレゼント - zomg!!1, it's too early!!!
249 - fix the assumption that chars < 256 are single-width. Now
250 only assume this for codepoints 32 to 126 (reported by Dai.H.).
251 - $term->strwidth returned wide chars as width 1, because some jerk
252 confused min and max. Fixing this also fixes xim-onthespot.
253 Reported by Takano Akio.
254 - secondaryScroll is now enabled by default (as per the manpage),
255 reported by exg.
256 - correct the description of [percent]color rgba format in the manpage.
257 - incorporated macosx-clipboard extension by Samuel Ljungkvist.
258 - ignore (some) useless focus events (reported by mmc).
259 - updated compose table to unicode 5.0.0.
260
2618.0 Thu Nov 2 18:35:19 CET 2006
262 - combining characters cleared the area instead of creating an overlay,
263 thus losing the ability to draw combining characters properly in most
264 circumstances (reported by exg).
265 - specified fonts were incorrectly morphed to bold/italic according to the
266 basefont, even if explicitly specified (tracked down by tpope).
267 - fixed urxvt::strwidth to calculate width in the same way as screen.C.
268 - fix a crash caused by passing negative widths to overlay functions.
269 - added 'matcher' extension by tpope, replacing the mark-urls extension.
270 - improve url regex to match anything www.* (tpope).
271 - fixed bug with outline cursor color being wrong after xft fonts.
272 - update to libptytty-1.0.
273 - give proper diagnostic when RXVT_SOCKET is too long instead of
274 corrupting the stack (patch by exg).
275 - display current terminal locale in option menu.
276 - urxvtd no longer crashes when the client sends an inaccessible
277 working directory (reported by Roland Baer, possibly fixes gentoo
278 bug #143985).
279 - fixed many minor issues reported by Roland Baer.
280 - Leonid Khramov spotted a minor glitch in rxvtfont.C that
281 should not have any consequences, but was buggy nonetheless.
282 - manpage fix by exg.
283
2847.9 Mon Aug 7 18:16:07 CEST 2006
285 - fix the crashing bug people encountered with 7.8 + urxvtd + perl
286 + transparency. Ought to fix debian bug #380348.
287 - fix urxvtc.1.pod: it actually claimed -pty-fd would not work. But
288 it does! :->
289 - rxvt_fatal() in case the locale string is too long for our static buffer.
290 - fixed many, many, typos in the manpages (patch supplied by ves).
291
2927.8 Mon Jul 17 21:00:46 CEST 2006
293 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: this version will always read ~/.Xdefaults,
294 earlier versions only read it if display-resources (usually from
295 .Xresources) are not set. This avoids the #1 FAQ ("why isn't my
296 resource used") and seems to be logical behaviour, too. .Xdefaults
297 resources have a lower priority than display-specific resources.
298 - add "kuake" perl extension that does a similar thing to the kuake
299 terminal emulator (see man urxtvperl).
300 - use less "correct" color scaling that is compatible with libX11 and
301 Xft (avoids off-by-one colors resulting in striped backgrounds).
302 - the "depth" resource is now respected.
303 - preset the searchable-scrollback pattern with "(?i)" to default search
304 to case-insensitivity. Will automatically be cleared when typing an
305 uppercase character.
306 - add FORCE_UNBUFFERED_XFT define to features.h.
307 - re-enabled highlightcolor support with --enable-frills, based on
308 a patch by Martin Stubenschrott.
309 - double-buffered xft drawing did suffer from pixel offset issues
310 when pixmap transparency was enabled.
311 - strategically add # to the url-match regexes, as we really want to
312 match common URIs not common URLs. Reported by Aaron Griffin.
313 - moved on_osc_seq to on_osc_seq_perl and added a more
314 generic osc_seq.
315 - fix a bug causing double callback invocations when perl hooks
316 were invoked recursively.
317 - the automove-background extension now properly works when the
318 pixmap gets reset with an osc sequence (sqweek).
319 - selection-pastebin did not work properly with non-latin1-characters.
320 - apply colorUL only when the text colour is the default fg
321 (patch by Wu Fengguang).
322 - removed rxvtlib.h from the tarball, it had no reason to be there
323 (spotted by Decklin Foster).
324 - fix compiling with TRANSPARENT but !XPM_BACKGROUND, as reported
325 by omatunto_.
326 - slap in a using namespace std, might help on platforms that don't
327 follow C++ closely enough.
328 - fix mailto url regex, spotted within milliseconds by Jost Krieger.
329 - applied fade_color_update_func.patch by WU Fengguang.
330 - fix a bug where (due to an optimisation in av_delete), hiding the
331 bottom-most overlay would hide two overlays.
332
3337.7 Tue Feb 21 12:32:49 CET 2006
334 - use double-buffered drawing (xft fonts only). On many driver/hardware
335 combination this actually increases xft drawing speed, at the expense
336 of more network bandwidth and slight nausea on the side of the author.
337 - readline perl extension now requires shift-click instead of a normal
338 click, and eats the click.
339 - tabbed perl extension now supports -e.
340 - disabled graphics-exposures on the main drawing GC, report any
341 refresh bugs please.
342 - improve property handling for -pe tabbed: avoid unnecessary property
343 changes (for kde's benefit) at the expense of extra round-trips,
344 improve size hint setting.
345 - modified XIM according to a patch sent by Takano Akio that sets
346 the preedit rectangle for OverTheSpot, which helps some input methods
347 to correctly position their preedit window.
348 - un-optimise the line clearing on newly scrolled-in lines a bit: the
349 former reasoning was that any fg colour on default bg looks the same
350 in empty spaces, but thats not true when reversing (e.g. selection),
351 so also check for matching fg colours. This fixes the problem where
352 selecting newly scrolled-in lines would exhibit wrong colours.
353 - fix a bug in the perl interface causing focus in events to generate
354 focus out perl events, causing bad focus effects with -pe tabbed.
355 - fix a race resulting in a crash on exiting.
356 - fix a with --disable-xft that caused xfreecolors to be called on
357 colors never allocated, resulting in aborts (reported by Paco-Paco).
358 - resources on non-initial screens weren't refetched correctly
359 (reported by Paco-Paco).
360 - fix a bug in xcopyarea pass and _disable_ it, as it seems not to be
361 working in either rxvt-unicode nor in the original rxvt.
362 - removed undocumented -exec alias for the -e option.
363
3647.6 Fri Feb 10 08:52:36 CET 2006
365 - changed interpretation of [alpha] colour prefix.
366 - +option now really sets the option to default, instead of using the
367 resource value.
368 - options that require an argument now really _require_ an argument.
369 - the tabbed extension now forwards focus and keys events to th
370 relevant tab window.
371 - tab colours are now configurable and have sensible defaults
372 (initial patch by hednod).
373 - option menu is extendable, readline, selection and
374 selection-autotransform can now be disabled/enabled at runtime.
375 - forcing a configure event to tabbed subwindows with -pe tabbed, for
376 the benefit of automove-background.
377 - the automove-background extension added a wrong constant offset.
378 - force refresh of XA_RESOURCE_STRING on virtual reconnect.
379 - return exit status 2 in urxvtc when urxvtd couldn't be contacted.
380 - the linux yield hack is back, now using usleep, and enabled only on
381 __linux__.
382 - further round trip eliminations in the !XFT case by remembering
383 the colour components.
384 - plain scrollbar works better with -sr.
385 - fixed half-shadow scrollbar look.
386 - more colour rtt optimisations.
387 - properly(?) free colours on window close.
388 - reorganised the FAQ into multiple sections.
389 - add ISO646.1991-IRV to the list of supported codesets.
390 - minor libptytty update.
391
3927.5 Tue Jan 31 15:15:43 CET 2006
393 - further improvements to the careful mode detection, and font width
394 detection:
395 - fully double-wide fonts will now be correctly treated,
396 - overlap detection was improved.
397 - detect totally broken fonts (usually synthesized by xft).
398 - careful mode forced refresh sometimes clashed with blinking,
399 causing unnecessary screen redraws.
400 - better handling of XFT combining characters.
401 - enable antialiasing for some replacement fonts, as they
402 might get used for other encodings which really need it, later.
403 - remove spacing=100 from all default fonts, as this creates totally
404 weird spacing (5 times normal) with xft.
405 - removed iso10646 fallback, as xorgs iso10646 encoded fonts are mostly
406 broken.
407 - removed gnu unifont fallback, all combining characters are broken.
408 - replace named colours by xorg's rgb.txt equivalents, to
409 reduce round trip time on startup, and short-cut allocation
410 of rgb:rr/gg/bb for xft.
411 - short-cut allocation of rgb values in the xlib case
412 (patch by Paco-Paco).
413 - overhauled color management: smaller codesize, alpha support.
414 - support "rgba:rrrr/gggg/bbbb/aaaa" color specifications and
415 an "[alpha]" prefix.
416 - try to work around Xft and Xrender forcing everything to be 100%
417 transparent. Long Live Xft!
418 - do not include X11/Intrinsic.h anymore, directly use
419 Xlib/Xutil/Xresource directly.
420 - try to find a nearest matching color when color allocation fails
421 on a pseudocolor screen.
422 - SYNCCVS: compared to rxvt-cvs 2006-01-28, no relevant changes.
423 - fix version report (DA) (which was unfortunately broken).
424 - changed version number report again, now to emulate xterm closer.
425 - added the OSC sequence 702 to detect the urxvt version number.
426 - small configure updates.
427 - further RTT optimisations.
428 - backported clean-up patches for makefiles and documentation from
429 the debian package.
430 - updated doc/rxvt-unicode.spec file. It's still not maintained here,
431 but much newer than the old one.
432
4337.4 Sat Jan 28 15:26:27 CET 2006
434 - screen background wasn't always erased properly when scrolling,
435 - re-enabled clearing optimisation disabled in 7.4pre.
436 - small configure updates for libptytty.
437 - fixed version options: line output.
438 - removed stoopid debugging message left in the code.
439
4407.3 Wed Jan 25 22:47:35 CET 2006
441 - don't let iso14755 or mouse reporting get into the way of perl
442 (could lead to global grabs never being cleared).
443 - experimental OnTheSpot editing support (-pe xim-onthespot).
444 - moved Shift-Button2 paste combination to Meta-Button2.
445 - the cutchars resource will now be respected and used by the
446 selection extension.
447 - added the "remote-clipboard" extension which just runs external
448 commands to fetch and store the selection data.
449 - added -depth switch that tries to get a different visual depth
450 than the default (replaces the old PREFER_24_BIT logic).
451 - removed (unused) arabic presentation form composing sequences.
452 - be more strict when deciding that a core font glyph is too wide and
453 needs the careful rendering mode.
454 - allow more leeway for italic fonts when deciding that a character is
455 too wide and needs careful mode.
456 - redraw even more characters around characters using careful mode.
457 - made selection-pastebin fully asynchronous.
458 - reduced number of server turnarounds at startup by allocating
459 atoms only once per display.
460 - renamed on_keyboard_command to on_user_command.
461 - changed version sos (ESC [ > c) response to be more compatible with
462 xterm.
463
4647.2 Sun Jan 22 21:58:16 CET 2006
465 - bugfix: urxvt (not urxvtd) did not correctly handle multiple
466 environments necessary, which resulted in segfaults within
467 getenv (reproducable: urxvt -fn 9x15, open a menu once,
468 ctrl-shift-672c).
469 - bugfix: the selection speedup in in 7.1 unfortunately caused
470 non-ascii characters to enlarge/move the selection.
471 - bugfix: resizing sometimes leaked lines from the secondary to
472 the primary screen.
473 - bugfix: reducing window size while large amounts of text were output
474 could lead to an assertion failure.
475 - added "tabbed" extension that provides a crude tabbed terminal.
476 - added "readline" extension that allows cursor positioning
477 via mouse clicks.
478 - now it is possible to insert the value of the CLIPBOARD selection
479 with shift - mouse button 2.
480 - fixed the automove-background extension to ignore coordinates
481 in non-synthetic events.
482 - created a separate libpty for portable and secure
483 pty/tty/utmp/wtmp/lastlog handling, and include it in rxvt-unicode.
484 - the non-terminfo visual bell now works asynchronously, so
485 continuous ASCI BELs in one terminal do no longer monopolise the
486 whole urxvt[d] process.
487 - support some *BSD makes (for the time being, gnu make is a safe bet).
488 - work around bugs in FreeBSD's gcc.
489 - implemented some *BSD fixes in configure.
490 - removed support for obsolete offix dnd protocol.
491
4927.1 Thu Jan 19 20:25:34 CET 2006
493 - setuid/setgid operation is now _encouraged_: security has been
494 improved by moving privileged operations into a separate process
495 and permanently dropping privileges within the terminal. This
496 makes it possible to remove security checks from the perl code
497 and gives a much safer feeling when urxvt needs to run with
498 special privileges.
499 - perl taint checking disabled, as urxvt no longer runs setuid/setgid
500 itself.
501 - new perl extension automove-background that can be used to get
502 the same effect as pseudo-transparency with any pixmap.
503 - new perl extension example: perl/selection-pastebin, can be used to
504 e.g. upload the selection to a webserver and generate a url, or
505 similar stuff.
16 - use the scrollback buffer even when the scroll region doesn't 506 - use the scrollback buffer even when the scroll region doesn't
17 span the whole screen, as long as it starts at row 0. 507 span the whole screen, as long as it starts at row 0. Helps
18 - swap the environment in some more cases. This hopefully fixes 508 for programs displaying a status line at the bottom.
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. 509 - selection popup now shows selection in dec/hex/oct.

515 - implemented override-redirect option and enabled it on menus,
516 as kwin puts our windows behind the terminal (what a shoddy wm).
517 - fixed struct utmp check in configure for OpenBSD.
518 - complete overhaul of the pty/utmp management stuff and configure
519 (Emanuele Giaquinta).
520 - add tsl/fsl and related capabilities to the terminfo description,
521 to set the window title.
522 - swap the environment in some more cases. This hopefully fixes
523 some segfaults that might be caused by xft asking for env variables
524 at the wrong time.
525 - removed src/strings.C and src/menubar.C. No menubar support
526 anymore.
527 - removed all traces of SMOOTH_REFRESH.
528 - nuked QNX support.
529 - made some fixes to xpm offset and scaling code.
27 - perl-overlays and refresh hooks were not applied in correct order. 530 - perl-overlays and refresh hooks were not applied in correct order.
