16 - screen background wasn't always erased properly when scrolling.

19 - removed stoopid debugging message.
20
217.3 Wed Jan 25 22:47:35 CET 2006
22 - don't let iso14755 or mouse reporting get into the way of perl
23 (could lead to global grabs never being cleared).
24 - experimental OnTheSpot editing support (-pe xim-onthespot).
25 - moved Shift-Button2 paste combination to Meta-Button2.
26 - the cutchars resource will now be respected and used by the
27 selection extension.
28 - added the "remote-clipboard" extension which just runs external
29 commands to fetch and store the selection data.
30 - added -depth switch that tries to get a different visual depth
31 than the default (replaces the old PREFER_24_BIT logic).
32 - removed (unused) arabic presentation form composing sequences.
33 - be more strict when deciding that a core font glyph is too wide and
34 needs the careful rendering mode.
35 - allow more leeway for italic fonts when deciding that a character is
36 too wide and needs careful mode.
37 - redraw even more characters around characters using careful mode.
38 - made selection-pastebin fully asynchronous.
39 - reduced number of server turnarounds at startup by allocating
40 atoms only once per display.
41 - renamed on_keyboard_command to on_user_command.
42 - changed version sos (ESC [ > c) response to be more compatible with
43 xterm.

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