217.2 Sun Jan 22 21:58:16 CET 2006
22 - bugfix: urxvt (not urxvtd) did not correctly handle multiple
23 environments necessary, which resulted in segfaults within
24 getenv (reproducable: urxvt -fn 9x15, open a menu once,
25 ctrl-shift-672c).
26 - bugfix: the selection speedup in in 7.1 unfortunately caused
27 non-ascii characters to enlarge/move the selection.
28 - bugfix: resizing sometimes leaked lines from the secondary to
29 the primary screen.
30 - bugfix: reducing window size while large amounts of text were output
31 could lead to an assertion failure.
32 - added "tabbed" extension that provides a crude tabbed terminal.
33 - added "readline" extension that allows cursor positioning
34 via mouse clicks.
35 - now it is possible to insert the value of the CLIPBOARD selection
36 with shift - mouse button 2.
37 - fixed the automove-background extension to ignore coordinates
38 in non-synthetic events.
39 - created a separate libpty for portable and secure
40 pty/tty/utmp/wtmp/lastlog handling, and include it in rxvt-unicode.
41 - the non-terminfo visual bell now works asynchronously, so
42 continuous ASCI BELs in one terminal do no longer monopolise the
43 whole urxvt[d] process.
44 - support some *BSD makes (for the time being, gnu make is a safe bet).
45 - work around bugs in FreeBSD's gcc.
46 - implemented some *BSD fixes in configure.
47 - removed support for obsolete offix dnd protocol.

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