156.2 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 - moved Shift-Button2 paste combination to Meta-Button2.
22 - removed (unused) arabic presentation form composing sequences.
23 - correctly ask XIM for events it needs to be enabled on the window.

257.2 Sun Jan 22 21:58:16 CET 2006
26 - bugfix: urxvt (not urxvtd) did not correctly handle multiple
27 environments necessary, which resulted in segfaults within
28 getenv (reproducable: urxvt -fn 9x15, open a menu once,
29 ctrl-shift-672c).
30 - bugfix: the selection speedup in in 7.1 unfortunately caused
31 non-ascii characters to enlarge/move the selection.
32 - bugfix: resizing sometimes leaked lines from the secondary to
33 the primary screen.
34 - bugfix: reducing window size while large amounts of text were output
35 could lead to an assertion failure.
36 - added "tabbed" extension that provides a crude tabbed terminal.
37 - added "readline" extension that allows cursor positioning
38 via mouse clicks.
39 - now it is possible to insert the value of the CLIPBOARD selection
40 with shift - mouse button 2.
41 - fixed the automove-background extension to ignore coordinates
42 in non-synthetic events.
43 - created a separate libpty for portable and secure
44 pty/tty/utmp/wtmp/lastlog handling, and include it in rxvt-unicode.
45 - the non-terminfo visual bell now works asynchronously, so
46 continuous ASCI BELs in one terminal do no longer monopolise the
47 whole urxvt[d] process.
48 - support some *BSD makes (for the time being, gnu make is a safe bet).
49 - work around bugs in FreeBSD's gcc.
50 - implemented some *BSD fixes in configure.
51 - removed support for obsolete offix dnd protocol.
52
537.1 Thu Jan 19 20:25:34 CET 2006
54 - setuid/setgid operation is now _encouraged_: security has been
55 improved by moving privileged operations into a separate process
56 and permanently dropping privileges within the terminal. This
57 makes it possible to remove security checks from the perl code
58 and gives a much safer feeling when urxvt needs to run with
59 special privileges.
60 - perl taint checking disabled, as urxvt no longer runs setuid/setgid
61 itself.
62 - new perl extension automove-background that can be used to get
63 the same effect as pseudo-transparency with any pixmap.
64 - new perl extension example: perl/selection-pastebin, can be used to
65 e.g. upload the selection to a webserver and generate a url, or
66 similar stuff.
67 - use the scrollback buffer even when the scroll region doesn't
68 span the whole screen, as long as it starts at row 0. Helps
69 for programs displaying a status line at the bottom.
70 - selection popup now shows selection in dec/hex/oct.
71 - perl/selection: matching on unicode characters in the selection
72 code was O(n²), which equals infinity in some degenerate cases
73 :-> Matching is now done on UTF-8, which makes it almost instant.
74 - perl/selection, perl/selection-autotransform: regexes are now
75 being interpreted in the locale urxvt was started.
76 - implemented override-redirect option and enabled it on menus,
77 as kwin puts our windows behind the terminal (what a shoddy wm).
78 - fixed struct utmp check in configure for OpenBSD.
79 - complete overhaul of the pty/utmp management stuff and configure
80 (Emanuele Giaquinta).
81 - add tsl/fsl and related capabilities to the terminfo description,
82 to set the window title.
83 - swap the environment in some more cases. This hopefully fixes
84 some segfaults that might be caused by xft asking for env variables
85 at the wrong time.
86 - removed src/strings.C and src/menubar.C. No menubar support
87 anymore.
88 - removed all traces of SMOOTH_REFRESH.
89 - nuked QNX support.
90 - made some fixes to xpm offset and scaling code.
91 - perl-overlays and refresh hooks were not applied in correct order.
92 - changed coordinate-system of view_start/nsaved to be top to bottom.
93 - iom extended to support listening for child exits.
94
957.0 Fri Jan 13 14:02:18 CET 2006
96 - added sections for DISTRIBUTION MAINTAINERS and about
97 SETUID/SETGID to the FAQ.
98 - selection, searchable-scrollback, selection-popup and
99 option-popup extensions enabled by default.
100 - increased xft drawing speed for problematic fonts. The effect
101 will likely be small as 99% of the xft slowness is server-related.
102 - perl: much increased functionality, better overlays, popup support
103 and much much more.
104 - perl: urxvt::line now can set via ->t and ->r.
105 - perl: changed interpretation of --perl-ext-common and -pe.
106 - perl: finally implemented --perl-eval.
107 - perl: non-blocking anyevent support.
108 - perl: run tainted and ignore perl-eval/perl-lib if started
109 setuid/setgid.
110 - free the resource database: this plugs a massive memory leak. As a
111 side effect, it also gets rid of XGetDefault calls.
112 - free one of the cursors, fixes a small memory leak.
113 - built-in (as opposed to terminfos) visual bell was broken/too fast.
114 - applied minor cleanups by Ladislav Michnovic.
115 - applied pty handling cleanups and improvements (Emanuele Giaquinta).
116 - mark-urls launch-on-click by jepler.
117 - removed "small" resource parsing function, as it wasn't really
118 compatible, and not really small either.
119 - removed PATH_ENV and PATH file search support.
120 - removed support for locale-specific app-defaults file.
121 - fixed a bug where out-of-bounds colour sequences could lead
122 to crashes.
123 - limit colour changing to the standard 88 palette instead of all
124 colours.
125 - XTerm_Color01 sequence returned wrong results in query mode.
126 - iom.C now checks against destructed io_manager when unregistering.

1286.3 Wed Jan 4 22:37:10 CET 2006
129 - SECURITY FIX: on systems using openpty, permissions were
130 not correctly updated on the tty device and were left as
131 world-readable and world-writable (likely in original rxvt,
132 too), and were not restored properly. Affected are only
133 systems where non-unix ptys were used (such as most BSDs, not
134 GNU/Linux). (found, patched and debugged by Ryan Beasley).
135 - meta8 support was forcefully enabled in most configurations.
136 restored configurability of this (useless) feature (reported
137 by Mikachu).
138 - optionally embed a perl interpreter, which can be used for more
139 intelligent/customized selection support, visual feedback,
140 menus, tabs etc. See the the urxvtperl manpage, the -pe option,
141 perl*-resources and keysym resources. Not everything is there yet.
142 - try to be more clever about differing font sizes and their ascent.
143 Not guarenteed to work, but works better in most cases now.
144 - fix directory permissions on install.
145 - implemented option to disable built-in line drawing characters
146 and fall back to the font ones (patch by Martin Pohlack).
147 - disabled sched_yield support: the linux version is just too useless
148 (it schedules nice'd processes before the own one for extended
149 periods). Too bad, it could reduce system time by a factor of 5 here.
150
1516.2 Mon Jan 2 16:03:01 CET 2006
152 - implemented intensityStyles option which enables/disables bold/blink
153 selecting high intensity foreground/background colours, suggested by
154 Chuck Blake.
155 - move iso14755 character feedback box out of the way if it would
156 obscure the mouse cursor position.
16 - replaced callback.h by a fixed version from gvpe that correctly 157 - replaced callback.h by a fixed version from gvpe that correctly
17 returns the callback result. Reported by darix. 158 returns the callback result (affects new -pty-fd semantics in urxvtc
159 on a few architectures). Reported by darix.
160 - include one trailing space in rectangular selections to indicate
161 the inserted newline (yeah, weird, but visually more pleasing).
162 - try to use sched_yield to (drastically) improve terminal data
163 transfer efficiency.
164 - further minor cleanups.
