12TODO: document transient_for, vt 18TODO: ctrl - mouse button2 in vim makes X freeze (unreproducable with cvs)
19 - don't let iso14755 or mouse reporting get into the way of perl
20 (could lead to global grabs never being cleared).
21 - removed (unused) arabic presentation form composing sequences.
22 - correctly ask XIM for events it needs to be enabled on the window.
13 23
14 - perl: implement additional hook: line_update, add_lines. 247.2 Sun Jan 22 21:58:16 CET 2006
25 - bugfix: urxvt (not urxvtd) did not correctly handle multiple
26 environments necessary, which resulted in segfaults within
27 getenv (reproducable: urxvt -fn 9x15, open a menu once,
28 ctrl-shift-672c).
29 - bugfix: the selection speedup in in 7.1 unfortunately caused
30 non-ascii characters to enlarge/move the selection.
31 - bugfix: resizing sometimes leaked lines from the secondary to
32 the primary screen.
33 - bugfix: reducing window size while large amounts of text were output
34 could lead to an assertion failure.
35 - added "tabbed" extension that provides a crude tabbed terminal.
36 - added "readline" extension that allows cursor positioning
37 via mouse clicks.
38 - now it is possible to insert the value of the CLIPBOARD selection
39 with shift - mouse button 2.
40 - fixed the automove-background extension to ignore coordinates
41 in non-synthetic events.
42 - created a separate libpty for portable and secure
43 pty/tty/utmp/wtmp/lastlog handling, and include it in rxvt-unicode.
44 - the non-terminfo visual bell now works asynchronously, so
45 continuous ASCI BELs in one terminal do no longer monopolise the
46 whole urxvt[d] process.
47 - support some *BSD makes (for the time being, gnu make is a safe bet).
48 - work around bugs in FreeBSD's gcc.
49 - implemented some *BSD fixes in configure.
50 - removed support for obsolete offix dnd protocol.

527.1 Thu Jan 19 20:25:34 CET 2006
53 - setuid/setgid operation is now _encouraged_: security has been
54 improved by moving privileged operations into a separate process
55 and permanently dropping privileges within the terminal. This
56 makes it possible to remove security checks from the perl code
57 and gives a much safer feeling when urxvt needs to run with
58 special privileges.
59 - perl taint checking disabled, as urxvt no longer runs setuid/setgid
60 itself.
61 - new perl extension automove-background that can be used to get
62 the same effect as pseudo-transparency with any pixmap.
63 - new perl extension example: perl/selection-pastebin, can be used to
64 e.g. upload the selection to a webserver and generate a url, or
65 similar stuff.
66 - use the scrollback buffer even when the scroll region doesn't
67 span the whole screen, as long as it starts at row 0. Helps
68 for programs displaying a status line at the bottom.
69 - selection popup now shows selection in dec/hex/oct.
70 - perl/selection: matching on unicode characters in the selection
71 code was O(n²), which equals infinity in some degenerate cases
72 :-> Matching is now done on UTF-8, which makes it almost instant.
73 - perl/selection, perl/selection-autotransform: regexes are now
74 being interpreted in the locale urxvt was started.
75 - implemented override-redirect option and enabled it on menus,
76 as kwin puts our windows behind the terminal (what a shoddy wm).
77 - fixed struct utmp check in configure for OpenBSD.
78 - complete overhaul of the pty/utmp management stuff and configure
79 (Emanuele Giaquinta).
80 - add tsl/fsl and related capabilities to the terminfo description,
81 to set the window title.
82 - swap the environment in some more cases. This hopefully fixes
83 some segfaults that might be caused by xft asking for env variables
84 at the wrong time.
85 - removed src/strings.C and src/menubar.C. No menubar support
86 anymore.
87 - removed all traces of SMOOTH_REFRESH.
88 - nuked QNX support.
89 - made some fixes to xpm offset and scaling code.
90 - perl-overlays and refresh hooks were not applied in correct order.
91 - changed coordinate-system of view_start/nsaved to be top to bottom.
92 - iom extended to support listening for child exits.
93
947.0 Fri Jan 13 14:02:18 CET 2006
95 - added sections for DISTRIBUTION MAINTAINERS and about
96 SETUID/SETGID to the FAQ.
97 - selection, searchable-scrollback, selection-popup and
98 option-popup extensions enabled by default.
99 - increased xft drawing speed for problematic fonts. The effect
100 will likely be small as 99% of the xft slowness is server-related.
101 - perl: much increased functionality, better overlays, popup support
102 and much much more.
15 - perl: urxvt::line now can set via ->t and ->r. 103 - perl: urxvt::line now can set via ->t and ->r.
16 - perl: changed interpretation of --perl-ext-common and -pe. 104 - perl: changed interpretation of --perl-ext-common and -pe.
17 - perl: much increased functionality, better overlays, popup support. 105 - perl: finally implemented --perl-eval.
106 - perl: non-blocking anyevent support.
107 - perl: run tainted and ignore perl-eval/perl-lib if started
108 setuid/setgid.
109 - free the resource database: this plugs a massive memory leak. As a
110 side effect, it also gets rid of XGetDefault calls.
111 - free one of the cursors, fixes a small memory leak.
112 - built-in (as opposed to terminfos) visual bell was broken/too fast.
113 - applied minor cleanups by Ladislav Michnovic.
114 - applied pty handling cleanups and improvements (Emanuele Giaquinta).
115 - mark-urls launch-on-click by jepler.
116 - removed "small" resource parsing function, as it wasn't really
117 compatible, and not really small either.
118 - removed PATH_ENV and PATH file search support.
119 - removed support for locale-specific app-defaults file.
120 - fixed a bug where out-of-bounds colour sequences could lead
121 to crashes.
122 - limit colour changing to the standard 88 palette instead of all
123 colours.
124 - XTerm_Color01 sequence returned wrong results in query mode.
125 - iom.C now checks against destructed io_manager when unregistering.
