23
247.3 Wed Jan 25 22:47:35 CET 2006
25 - don't let iso14755 or mouse reporting get into the way of perl
26 (could lead to global grabs never being cleared).
27 - experimental OnTheSpot editing support (-pe xim-onthespot).
28 - moved Shift-Button2 paste combination to Meta-Button2.
29 - the cutchars resource will now be respected and used by the
30 selection extension.
31 - added the "remote-clipboard" extension which just runs external
32 commands to fetch and store the selection data.
33 - added -depth switch that tries to get a different visual depth
34 than the default (replaces the old PREFER_24_BIT logic).
35 - removed (unused) arabic presentation form composing sequences.
36 - be more strict when deciding that a core font glyph is too wide and
37 needs the careful rendering mode.
38 - allow more leeway for italic fonts when deciding that a character is
39 too wide and needs careful mode.
40 - redraw even more characters around characters using careful mode.
41 - made selection-pastebin fully asynchronous.
42 - reduced number of server turnarounds at startup by allocating
43 atoms only once per display.
44 - renamed on_keyboard_command to on_user_command.
45 - changed version sos (ESC [ > c) response to be more compatible with
46 xterm.

487.2 Sun Jan 22 21:58:16 CET 2006
49 - bugfix: urxvt (not urxvtd) did not correctly handle multiple
50 environments necessary, which resulted in segfaults within
51 getenv (reproducable: urxvt -fn 9x15, open a menu once,
52 ctrl-shift-672c).
53 - bugfix: the selection speedup in in 7.1 unfortunately caused
54 non-ascii characters to enlarge/move the selection.
55 - bugfix: resizing sometimes leaked lines from the secondary to
56 the primary screen.
57 - bugfix: reducing window size while large amounts of text were output
58 could lead to an assertion failure.
59 - added "tabbed" extension that provides a crude tabbed terminal.
60 - added "readline" extension that allows cursor positioning
61 via mouse clicks.
62 - now it is possible to insert the value of the CLIPBOARD selection
63 with shift - mouse button 2.
64 - fixed the automove-background extension to ignore coordinates
65 in non-synthetic events.
66 - created a separate libpty for portable and secure
67 pty/tty/utmp/wtmp/lastlog handling, and include it in rxvt-unicode.
68 - the non-terminfo visual bell now works asynchronously, so
69 continuous ASCI BELs in one terminal do no longer monopolise the
70 whole urxvt[d] process.
71 - support some *BSD makes (for the time being, gnu make is a safe bet).
72 - work around bugs in FreeBSD's gcc.
73 - implemented some *BSD fixes in configure.
74 - removed support for obsolete offix dnd protocol.

767.1 Thu Jan 19 20:25:34 CET 2006
77 - setuid/setgid operation is now _encouraged_: security has been
20 encouraged, by moving privileged operations into a separate 78 improved by moving privileged operations into a separate process
21 process and permanently dropping privileges within the 79 and permanently dropping privileges within the terminal. This
22 terminal. This makes it possible to remove security checks from 80 makes it possible to remove security checks from the perl code
