227.1 Thu Jan 19 20:25:34 CET 2006
23 - setuid/setgid operation is now _encouraged_: security has been
24 improved by moving privileged operations into a separate process
25 and permanently dropping privileges within the terminal. This
26 makes it possible to remove security checks from the perl code
27 and gives a much safer feeling when urxvt needs to run with
28 special privileges.
29 - perl taint checking disabled, as urxvt no longer runs setuid/setgid
30 itself.
31 - new perl extension automove-background that can be used to get
32 the same effect as pseudo-transparency with any pixmap.
33 - new perl extension example: perl/selection-pastebin, can be used to
34 e.g. upload the selection to a webserver and generate a url, or
35 similar stuff.
36 - use the scrollback buffer even when the scroll region doesn't
37 span the whole screen, as long as it starts at row 0. Helps
38 for programs displaying a status line at the bottom.
39 - selection popup now shows selection in dec/hex/oct.
40 - perl/selection: matching on unicode characters in the selection
41 code was O(n²), which equals infinity in some degenerate cases
42 :-> Matching is now done on UTF-8, which makes it almost instant.
43 - perl/selection, perl/selection-autotransform: regexes are now
44 being interpreted in the locale urxvt was started.
45 - implemented override-redirect option and enabled it on menus,
46 as kwin puts our windows behind the terminal (what a shoddy wm).
47 - fixed struct utmp check in configure for OpenBSD.
48 - complete overhaul of the pty/utmp management stuff and configure
49 (Emanuele Giaquinta).
50 - add tsl/fsl and related capabilities to the terminfo description,
51 to set the window title.
52 - swap the environment in some more cases. This hopefully fixes
53 some segfaults that might be caused by xft asking for env variables
54 at the wrong time.
55 - removed src/strings.C and src/menubar.C. No menubar support
56 anymore.
57 - removed all traces of SMOOTH_REFRESH.
58 - nuked QNX support.
59 - made some fixes to xpm offset and scaling code.
60 - perl-overlays and refresh hooks were not applied in correct order.
61 - changed coordinate-system of view_start/nsaved to be top to bottom.
62 - iom extended to support listening for child exits.
