136.1 197.2
20 - removed support for obsolete offix dnd protocol.
21 - added "tabbed" extension that provides a crude tabbed terminal.
22 - fixed the automove-background extension to ignore coordinates
23 in non-synthetic events.
24
257.1 Thu Jan 19 20:25:34 CET 2006
26 - setuid/setgid operation is now _encouraged_: security has been
27 improved by moving privileged operations into a separate process
28 and permanently dropping privileges within the terminal. This
29 makes it possible to remove security checks from the perl code
30 and gives a much safer feeling when urxvt needs to run with
31 special privileges.
32 - perl taint checking disabled, as urxvt no longer runs setuid/setgid
33 itself.
34 - new perl extension automove-background that can be used to get
35 the same effect as pseudo-transparency with any pixmap.
36 - new perl extension example: perl/selection-pastebin, can be used to
37 e.g. upload the selection to a webserver and generate a url, or
38 similar stuff.
39 - use the scrollback buffer even when the scroll region doesn't
40 span the whole screen, as long as it starts at row 0. Helps
41 for programs displaying a status line at the bottom.
42 - selection popup now shows selection in dec/hex/oct.
43 - perl/selection: matching on unicode characters in the selection
44 code was O(n²), which equals infinity in some degenerate cases
45 :-> Matching is now done on UTF-8, which makes it almost instant.
46 - perl/selection, perl/selection-autotransform: regexes are now
47 being interpreted in the locale urxvt was started.
48 - implemented override-redirect option and enabled it on menus,
49 as kwin puts our windows behind the terminal (what a shoddy wm).
50 - fixed struct utmp check in configure for OpenBSD.
51 - complete overhaul of the pty/utmp management stuff and configure
52 (Emanuele Giaquinta).
53 - add tsl/fsl and related capabilities to the terminfo description,
54 to set the window title.
55 - swap the environment in some more cases. This hopefully fixes
56 some segfaults that might be caused by xft asking for env variables
57 at the wrong time.
58 - removed src/strings.C and src/menubar.C. No menubar support
59 anymore.
60 - removed all traces of SMOOTH_REFRESH.
61 - nuked QNX support.
62 - made some fixes to xpm offset and scaling code.
63 - perl-overlays and refresh hooks were not applied in correct order.
64 - changed coordinate-system of view_start/nsaved to be top to bottom.
65 - iom extended to support listening for child exits.
66
677.0 Fri Jan 13 14:02:18 CET 2006
68 - added sections for DISTRIBUTION MAINTAINERS and about
69 SETUID/SETGID to the FAQ.
70 - selection, searchable-scrollback, selection-popup and
71 option-popup extensions enabled by default.
72 - increased xft drawing speed for problematic fonts. The effect
73 will likely be small as 99% of the xft slowness is server-related.
74 - perl: much increased functionality, better overlays, popup support
75 and much much more.
76 - perl: urxvt::line now can set via ->t and ->r.
77 - perl: changed interpretation of --perl-ext-common and -pe.
78 - perl: finally implemented --perl-eval.
79 - perl: non-blocking anyevent support.
80 - perl: run tainted and ignore perl-eval/perl-lib if started
81 setuid/setgid.
82 - free the resource database: this plugs a massive memory leak. As a
83 side effect, it also gets rid of XGetDefault calls.
84 - free one of the cursors, fixes a small memory leak.
85 - built-in (as opposed to terminfos) visual bell was broken/too fast.
86 - applied minor cleanups by Ladislav Michnovic.
87 - applied pty handling cleanups and improvements (Emanuele Giaquinta).
88 - mark-urls launch-on-click by jepler.
89 - removed "small" resource parsing function, as it wasn't really
90 compatible, and not really small either.
91 - removed PATH_ENV and PATH file search support.
92 - removed support for locale-specific app-defaults file.
93 - fixed a bug where out-of-bounds colour sequences could lead
94 to crashes.
95 - limit colour changing to the standard 88 palette instead of all
96 colours.
97 - XTerm_Color01 sequence returned wrong results in query mode.
98 - iom.C now checks against destructed io_manager when unregistering.

1006.3 Wed Jan 4 22:37:10 CET 2006
101 - SECURITY FIX: on systems using openpty, permissions were
102 not correctly updated on the tty device and were left as
103 world-readable and world-writable (likely in original rxvt,
104 too), and were not restored properly. Affected are only
105 systems where non-unix ptys were used (such as most BSDs, not
106 GNU/Linux). (found, patched and debugged by Ryan Beasley).
107 - meta8 support was forcefully enabled in most configurations.
108 restored configurability of this (useless) feature (reported
109 by Mikachu).
110 - optionally embed a perl interpreter, which can be used for more
111 intelligent/customized selection support, visual feedback,
112 menus, tabs etc. See the the urxvtperl manpage, the -pe option,
113 perl*-resources and keysym resources. Not everything is there yet.
114 - try to be more clever about differing font sizes and their ascent.
115 Not guarenteed to work, but works better in most cases now.
116 - fix directory permissions on install.
117 - implemented option to disable built-in line drawing characters
118 and fall back to the font ones (patch by Martin Pohlack).
119 - disabled sched_yield support: the linux version is just too useless
120 (it schedules nice'd processes before the own one for extended
121 periods). Too bad, it could reduce system time by a factor of 5 here.
122
1236.2 Mon Jan 2 16:03:01 CET 2006
124 - implemented intensityStyles option which enables/disables bold/blink
125 selecting high intensity foreground/background colours, suggested by
126 Chuck Blake.
127 - move iso14755 character feedback box out of the way if it would
128 obscure the mouse cursor position.
129 - replaced callback.h by a fixed version from gvpe that correctly
130 returns the callback result (affects new -pty-fd semantics in urxvtc
131 on a few architectures). Reported by darix.
132 - include one trailing space in rectangular selections to indicate
133 the inserted newline (yeah, weird, but visually more pleasing).
134 - try to use sched_yield to (drastically) improve terminal data
135 transfer efficiency.
136 - further minor cleanups.
137
1386.1 Tue Dec 27 13:23:40 CET 2005
139 - update iso8859-7 table (euro and drachma round-trip et al.).

15 while the user still drags. 141 while the user still drags.
16 - selections that were partially scrolled out of the window were 142 - selections that were partially scrolled out of the window were
17 not drawn correctly. 143 not drawn correctly.
144 - lines newly scrolled in were not initialized properly, leading
145 to extremely long lines and (hopefully) some segfaults.
146 - iso14755 overlay position was wrong.
147 - iso14755 overlay now displays rendition info, too.
148 - use unicode white space class instead of hardcoded values for
149 stripping whitespace.
150 - do whitespace stripping on rectangular selections.
151 - slight cleanups in src/features.h.
