+7.2  Sun Jan 22 21:58:16 CET 2006
-TODO: remove ||1 in main.C

-TODO: on_seelction_popup hook or so.
+          environments necessary, which resulted in segfaults within
-        - new script: perl/selection-pastebin
+          getenv (reproducable: urxvt -fn 9x15, open a menu once,
-        - improved security of setuid/setgid operation, which is now
+          ctrl-shift-672c).
+        - bugfix: the selection speedup in in 7.1 unfortunately caused
+          non-ascii characters to enlarge/move the selection.
+        - bugfix: resizing sometimes leaked lines from the secondary to
+          the primary screen.
+        - bugfix: reducing window size while large amounts of text were output
+          could lead to an assertion failure.
+        - added "tabbed" extension that provides a crude tabbed terminal.
+        - added "readline" extension that allows cursor positioning
+          via mouse clicks.
+	- now it is possible to insert the value of the CLIPBOARD selection
+	  with shift - mouse button 2.
+        - fixed the automove-background extension to ignore coordinates
+          in non-synthetic events.
+        - created a separate libpty for portable and secure
+          pty/tty/utmp/wtmp/lastlog handling, and include it in rxvt-unicode.
+        - the non-terminfo visual bell now works asynchronously, so
+          continuous ASCI BELs in one terminal do no longer monopolise the
+          whole urxvt[d] process.
+        - support some *BSD makes (for the time being, gnu make is a safe bet).
+        - work around bugs in FreeBSD's gcc.
+        - implemented some *BSD fixes in configure.
+	- removed support for obsolete offix dnd protocol.

+          special privileges.
+        - perl taint checking disabled, as urxvt no longer runs setuid/setgid
+          itself.
+        - new perl extension automove-background that can be used to get
+          the same effect as pseudo-transparency with any pixmap.
+        - new perl extension example: perl/selection-pastebin, can be used to
+          e.g. upload the selection to a webserver and generate a url, or
+          similar stuff.

+          span the whole screen, as long as it starts at row 0. Helps
-        - swap the environment in some more cases. This hopefully fixes
+          for programs displaying a status line at the bottom.
-          some segfaults that might be caused by xft asking for env variables
-          at the wrong time.
 	- selection popup now shows selection in dec/hex/oct.
         - perl/selection: matching on unicode characters in the selection
           code was O(n²), which equals infinity in some degenerate cases
           :-> Matching is now done on UTF-8, which makes it almost instant.
         - perl/selection, perl/selection-autotransform: regexes are now
           being interpreted in the locale urxvt was started.
+        - implemented override-redirect option and enabled it on menus,
+          as kwin puts our windows behind the terminal (what a shoddy wm).
+        - fixed struct utmp check in configure for OpenBSD.
+        - complete overhaul of the pty/utmp management stuff and configure
+          (Emanuele Giaquinta).
+	- add tsl/fsl and related capabilities to the terminfo description,
+          to set the window title.
+        - swap the environment in some more cases. This hopefully fixes
+          some segfaults that might be caused by xft asking for env variables
+          at the wrong time.
+        - removed src/strings.C and src/menubar.C. No menubar support
+          anymore.
+        - removed all traces of SMOOTH_REFRESH.
+        - nuked QNX support.
+        - made some fixes to xpm offset and scaling code.
         - perl-overlays and refresh hooks were not applied in correct order.
         - changed coordinate-system of view_start/nsaved to be top to bottom.
-        - complete overhaul of the pty/utmp management stuff and configure
+        - iom extended to support listening for child exits.

 	- added sections for DISTRIBUTION MAINTAINERS and about
           SETUID/SETGID to the FAQ.

 	- implement continuation lines in xresource parsing when
 	  --disable-xgetdefault.
 	- changed locale-setting esc-sequence from code 9 to code 701.

 	  unicode character.

 	  this version, see README.configure if you want the old
 	  settings.
