12TODO: resources! resources! resources! 197.2
13TODO: better environment handling in rxvt/xim etc. and urxvt::term->new 20 - bugfix: urxvt (not urxvtd) did not correctly handle multiple
21 environments necessary, which resulted in segfaults within
22 getenv (reproducable: urxvt -fn 9x15, open a menu once,
23 ctrl-shift-672c).
24 - bugfix: the selection speedup in in 7.1 unfortunately caused
25 non-ascii characters to enlarge/move the selection.
26 - added "tabbed" extension that provides a crude tabbed terminal.
27 - added "readline" extension that allows cursor positioning
28 via mouse clicks.
29 - now it is possible to insert the value of the CLIPBOARD selection
30 with shift - mouse button 2
31 - fixed the automove-background extension to ignore coordinates
32 in non-synthetic events.
33 - created a separate libpty for portable and secure
34 pty/tty/utmp/wtmp/lastlog handling.
35 - the non-terminfo visual bell is now done asynchronously, so
36 continuous ASCI BELs in one terminal do no longer monopolise the
37 whole urxvt[d] process.
38 - support some *BSD makes (for the time being, gnu make is a safe bet).
39 - work around bugs in FreeBSD's gcc.
40 - implemented some *BSD fixes in configure.
41 - removed support for obsolete offix dnd protocol.

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