199.0
20 - setuid/setgid operation is now _encouraged_: security has been
21 improved by moving privileged operations into a separate process
22 and permanently dropping privileges within the terminal. This
23 makes it possible to remove security checks from the perl code
24 and gives a much safer feeling when urxvt needs to run with
25 special privileges.
26 - perl taint checking disabled, as urxvt no longer runs setuid/setgid
27 itself.
28 - new perl extension automove-background that can be used to get
29 the same effect as pseudo-transparency with any pixmap.
30 - new perl extension example: perl/selection-pastebin, can be used to
31 e.g. upload the selection to a webserver and generate a url, or
32 similar stuff.
33 - use the scrollback buffer even when the scroll region doesn't
34 span the whole screen, as long as it starts at row 0. Helps
35 for programs displaying a status line at the bottom.
36 - selection popup now shows selection in dec/hex/oct.
37 - perl/selection: matching on unicode characters in the selection
38 code was O(n²), which equals infinity in some degenerate cases
39 :-> Matching is now done on UTF-8, which makes it almost instant.
40 - perl/selection, perl/selection-autotransform: regexes are now
41 being interpreted in the locale urxvt was started.
42 - implemented override-redirect option and enabled it on menus,
43 as kwin puts our windows behind the terminal (what a shoddy wm).
44 - fixed struct utmp check in configure for OpenBSD.
45 - complete overhaul of the pty/utmp management stuff and configure
46 (Emanuele Giaquinta).
47 - add tsl/fsl and related capabilities to the terminfo description,
48 to set the window title.
49 - swap the environment in some more cases. This hopefully fixes
50 some segfaults that might be caused by xft asking for env variables
51 at the wrong time.
52 - removed src/strings.C and src/menubar.C. No menubar support
53 anymore.
54 - removed all traces of SMOOTH_REFRESH.
55 - nuked QNX support.
56 - made some fixes to xpm offset and scaling code.
57 - perl-overlays and refresh hooks were not applied in correct order.
58 - changed coordinate-system of view_start/nsaved to be top to bottom.
59 - iom extended to support listening for child exits.

617.0 Fri Jan 13 14:02:18 CET 2006
62 - added sections for DISTRIBUTION MAINTAINERS and about
63 SETUID/SETGID to the FAQ.
64 - selection, searchable-scrollback, selection-popup and
65 option-popup extensions enabled by default.
66 - increased xft drawing speed for problematic fonts. The effect
67 will likely be small as 99% of the xft slowness is server-related.
68 - perl: much increased functionality, better overlays, popup support
69 and much much more.
70 - perl: urxvt::line now can set via ->t and ->r.
71 - perl: changed interpretation of --perl-ext-common and -pe.
72 - perl: finally implemented --perl-eval.
73 - perl: non-blocking anyevent support.
74 - perl: run tainted and ignore perl-eval/perl-lib if started
75 setuid/setgid.
76 - free the resource database: this plugs a massive memory leak. As a
77 side effect, it also gets rid of XGetDefault calls.
78 - free one of the cursors, fixes a small memory leak.
79 - built-in (as opposed to terminfos) visual bell was broken/too fast.
80 - applied minor cleanups by Ladislav Michnovic.
81 - applied pty handling cleanups and improvements (Emanuele Giaquinta).
82 - mark-urls launch-on-click by jepler.
83 - removed "small" resource parsing function, as it wasn't really
84 compatible, and not really small either.
85 - removed PATH_ENV and PATH file search support.
86 - removed support for locale-specific app-defaults file.
87 - fixed a bug where out-of-bounds colour sequences could lead
88 to crashes.
89 - limit colour changing to the standard 88 palette instead of all
90 colours.
91 - XTerm_Color01 sequence returned wrong results in query mode.
92 - iom.C now checks against destructed io_manager when unregistering.

946.3 Wed Jan 4 22:37:10 CET 2006
95 - SECURITY FIX: on systems using openpty, permissions were
96 not correctly updated on the tty device and were left as
97 world-readable and world-writable (likely in original rxvt,
98 too), and were not restored properly. Affected are only
99 systems where non-unix ptys were used (such as most BSDs, not
100 GNU/Linux). (found, patched and debugged by Ryan Beasley).
101 - meta8 support was forcefully enabled in most configurations.
102 restored configurability of this (useless) feature (reported
103 by Mikachu).
104 - optionally embed a perl interpreter, which can be used for more
105 intelligent/customized selection support, visual feedback,
106 menus, tabs etc. See the the urxvtperl manpage, the -pe option,
107 perl*-resources and keysym resources. Not everything is there yet.
108 - try to be more clever about differing font sizes and their ascent.
109 Not guarenteed to work, but works better in most cases now.
110 - fix directory permissions on install.
111 - implemented option to disable built-in line drawing characters
112 and fall back to the font ones (patch by Martin Pohlack).
113 - disabled sched_yield support: the linux version is just too useless
114 (it schedules nice'd processes before the own one for extended
115 periods). Too bad, it could reduce system time by a factor of 5 here.
116
1176.2 Mon Jan 2 16:03:01 CET 2006
118 - implemented intensityStyles option which enables/disables bold/blink
119 selecting high intensity foreground/background colours, suggested by
120 Chuck Blake.
121 - move iso14755 character feedback box out of the way if it would
122 obscure the mouse cursor position.
123 - replaced callback.h by a fixed version from gvpe that correctly
124 returns the callback result (affects new -pty-fd semantics in urxvtc
125 on a few architectures). Reported by darix.
126 - include one trailing space in rectangular selections to indicate
127 the inserted newline (yeah, weird, but visually more pleasing).
128 - try to use sched_yield to (drastically) improve terminal data
129 transfer efficiency.
130 - further minor cleanups.
131
1326.1 Tue Dec 27 13:23:40 CET 2005
133 - update iso8859-7 table (euro and drachma round-trip et al.).
134 - fix a crash when the selection scrolls out of the scrollback
135 while the user still drags.
136 - selections that were partially scrolled out of the window were
137 not drawn correctly.
138 - lines newly scrolled in were not initialized properly, leading
139 to extremely long lines and (hopefully) some segfaults.
140 - iso14755 overlay position was wrong.
141 - iso14755 overlay now displays rendition info, too.
142 - use unicode white space class instead of hardcoded values for
143 stripping whitespace.
144 - do whitespace stripping on rectangular selections.
145 - slight cleanups in src/features.h.
