167.3
17 - don't let iso14755 or mouse reporting get into the way of perl
18 (could lead to global grabs never being cleared).
19 - experimental OnTheSpot editing support (-pe xim-onthespot).
20 - moved Shift-Button2 paste combination to Meta-Button2.
21 - the cutchars resource will now be respected and used by the
22 selection extension.
23 - added the "remote-clipboard" extension which just runs external
24 commands to fetch and store the selection data.
25 - added -depth switch that tries to get a different visual depth
26 than the default (replaces the old PREFER_24_BIT logic).
27 - removed (unused) arabic presentation form composing sequences.
28 - be more strict when deciding that a core font glyph is too wide and
29 needs the careful rendering mode.
30 - allow more leeway for italic fonts when deciding that a character is
31 too wide and needs careful mode.
32 - redraw even more characters around characters using careful mode.
33 - made selection-pastebin fully asynchronous.
34 - reduced number of server turnarounds at startup by allocating
35 atoms only once per display.
36 - renamed on_keyboard_command to on_user_command.
37 - changed version sos (ESC [ > c) response to be more compatible with
38 xterm.

407.2 Sun Jan 22 21:58:16 CET 2006
41 - bugfix: urxvt (not urxvtd) did not correctly handle multiple
42 environments necessary, which resulted in segfaults within
43 getenv (reproducable: urxvt -fn 9x15, open a menu once,
44 ctrl-shift-672c).
45 - bugfix: the selection speedup in in 7.1 unfortunately caused
46 non-ascii characters to enlarge/move the selection.
47 - bugfix: resizing sometimes leaked lines from the secondary to
48 the primary screen.
49 - bugfix: reducing window size while large amounts of text were output
50 could lead to an assertion failure.
51 - added "tabbed" extension that provides a crude tabbed terminal.
52 - added "readline" extension that allows cursor positioning
53 via mouse clicks.
54 - now it is possible to insert the value of the CLIPBOARD selection
55 with shift - mouse button 2.
56 - fixed the automove-background extension to ignore coordinates
57 in non-synthetic events.
58 - created a separate libpty for portable and secure
59 pty/tty/utmp/wtmp/lastlog handling, and include it in rxvt-unicode.
60 - the non-terminfo visual bell now works asynchronously, so
61 continuous ASCI BELs in one terminal do no longer monopolise the
62 whole urxvt[d] process.
63 - support some *BSD makes (for the time being, gnu make is a safe bet).
64 - work around bugs in FreeBSD's gcc.
65 - implemented some *BSD fixes in configure.
66 - removed support for obsolete offix dnd protocol.
67
687.1 Thu Jan 19 20:25:34 CET 2006
69 - setuid/setgid operation is now _encouraged_: security has been
70 improved by moving privileged operations into a separate process
71 and permanently dropping privileges within the terminal. This
72 makes it possible to remove security checks from the perl code
73 and gives a much safer feeling when urxvt needs to run with
74 special privileges.
75 - perl taint checking disabled, as urxvt no longer runs setuid/setgid
76 itself.
77 - new perl extension automove-background that can be used to get
78 the same effect as pseudo-transparency with any pixmap.
79 - new perl extension example: perl/selection-pastebin, can be used to
80 e.g. upload the selection to a webserver and generate a url, or
81 similar stuff.
82 - use the scrollback buffer even when the scroll region doesn't
83 span the whole screen, as long as it starts at row 0. Helps
84 for programs displaying a status line at the bottom.
85 - selection popup now shows selection in dec/hex/oct.
86 - perl/selection: matching on unicode characters in the selection
87 code was O(n²), which equals infinity in some degenerate cases
88 :-> Matching is now done on UTF-8, which makes it almost instant.
89 - perl/selection, perl/selection-autotransform: regexes are now
90 being interpreted in the locale urxvt was started.
91 - implemented override-redirect option and enabled it on menus,
92 as kwin puts our windows behind the terminal (what a shoddy wm).
93 - fixed struct utmp check in configure for OpenBSD.
94 - complete overhaul of the pty/utmp management stuff and configure
95 (Emanuele Giaquinta).
96 - add tsl/fsl and related capabilities to the terminfo description,
97 to set the window title.
98 - swap the environment in some more cases. This hopefully fixes
99 some segfaults that might be caused by xft asking for env variables
100 at the wrong time.
101 - removed src/strings.C and src/menubar.C. No menubar support
102 anymore.
103 - removed all traces of SMOOTH_REFRESH.
104 - nuked QNX support.
105 - made some fixes to xpm offset and scaling code.
106 - perl-overlays and refresh hooks were not applied in correct order.
107 - changed coordinate-system of view_start/nsaved to be top to bottom.
108 - iom extended to support listening for child exits.
