169.0 15 - SYNCCVS: updated to rxvt-cvs 2006-01-28, no relevant changes.
16 - fix version report (DA) (which was unfortunately broken).
17 - changed version number report again, now to emulate xterm better.
18 - added the OSC sequence 702 to detect the urxvt version number.
19
207.4 Sat Jan 28 15:26:27 CET 2006
21 - screen background wasn't always erased properly when scrolling,
22 - re-enabled clearing optimisation disabled in 7.4pre.
23 - small configure updates for libptytty.
24 - fixed version options: line output.
25 - removed stoopid debugging message left in the code.
26
277.3 Wed Jan 25 22:47:35 CET 2006
28 - don't let iso14755 or mouse reporting get into the way of perl
29 (could lead to global grabs never being cleared).
30 - experimental OnTheSpot editing support (-pe xim-onthespot).
31 - moved Shift-Button2 paste combination to Meta-Button2.
32 - the cutchars resource will now be respected and used by the
33 selection extension.
34 - added the "remote-clipboard" extension which just runs external
35 commands to fetch and store the selection data.
36 - added -depth switch that tries to get a different visual depth
37 than the default (replaces the old PREFER_24_BIT logic).
38 - removed (unused) arabic presentation form composing sequences.
39 - be more strict when deciding that a core font glyph is too wide and
40 needs the careful rendering mode.
41 - allow more leeway for italic fonts when deciding that a character is
42 too wide and needs careful mode.
43 - redraw even more characters around characters using careful mode.
44 - made selection-pastebin fully asynchronous.
45 - reduced number of server turnarounds at startup by allocating
46 atoms only once per display.
47 - renamed on_keyboard_command to on_user_command.
48 - changed version sos (ESC [ > c) response to be more compatible with
49 xterm.

517.2 Sun Jan 22 21:58:16 CET 2006
52 - bugfix: urxvt (not urxvtd) did not correctly handle multiple
53 environments necessary, which resulted in segfaults within
54 getenv (reproducable: urxvt -fn 9x15, open a menu once,
55 ctrl-shift-672c).
56 - bugfix: the selection speedup in in 7.1 unfortunately caused
57 non-ascii characters to enlarge/move the selection.
58 - bugfix: resizing sometimes leaked lines from the secondary to
59 the primary screen.
60 - bugfix: reducing window size while large amounts of text were output
61 could lead to an assertion failure.
62 - added "tabbed" extension that provides a crude tabbed terminal.
63 - added "readline" extension that allows cursor positioning
64 via mouse clicks.
65 - now it is possible to insert the value of the CLIPBOARD selection
66 with shift - mouse button 2.
67 - fixed the automove-background extension to ignore coordinates
68 in non-synthetic events.
69 - created a separate libpty for portable and secure
70 pty/tty/utmp/wtmp/lastlog handling, and include it in rxvt-unicode.
71 - the non-terminfo visual bell now works asynchronously, so
72 continuous ASCI BELs in one terminal do no longer monopolise the
73 whole urxvt[d] process.
74 - support some *BSD makes (for the time being, gnu make is a safe bet).
75 - work around bugs in FreeBSD's gcc.
76 - implemented some *BSD fixes in configure.
77 - removed support for obsolete offix dnd protocol.
78
797.1 Thu Jan 19 20:25:34 CET 2006
80 - setuid/setgid operation is now _encouraged_: security has been
81 improved by moving privileged operations into a separate process
82 and permanently dropping privileges within the terminal. This
83 makes it possible to remove security checks from the perl code
84 and gives a much safer feeling when urxvt needs to run with
85 special privileges.
86 - perl taint checking disabled, as urxvt no longer runs setuid/setgid
87 itself.
88 - new perl extension automove-background that can be used to get
89 the same effect as pseudo-transparency with any pixmap.
90 - new perl extension example: perl/selection-pastebin, can be used to
91 e.g. upload the selection to a webserver and generate a url, or
92 similar stuff.
17 - use the scrollback buffer even when the scroll region doesn't 93 - use the scrollback buffer even when the scroll region doesn't
18 span the whole screen, as long as it starts at row 0. 94 span the whole screen, as long as it starts at row 0. Helps
95 for programs displaying a status line at the bottom.
19 - selection popup now shows selection in dec/hex/oct. 96 - selection popup now shows selection in dec/hex/oct.
20 - perl/selection: matching on unicode characters in the selection 97 - perl/selection: matching on unicode characters in the selection
21 code was O(n²), which equals infinity in some degenerate cases 98 code was O(n²), which equals infinity in some degenerate cases

102 - implemented override-redirect option and enabled it on menus,
103 as kwin puts our windows behind the terminal (what a shoddy wm).
104 - fixed struct utmp check in configure for OpenBSD.
105 - complete overhaul of the pty/utmp management stuff and configure
106 (Emanuele Giaquinta).
107 - add tsl/fsl and related capabilities to the terminfo description,
108 to set the window title.
109 - swap the environment in some more cases. This hopefully fixes
110 some segfaults that might be caused by xft asking for env variables
111 at the wrong time.
112 - removed src/strings.C and src/menubar.C. No menubar support
113 anymore.
114 - removed all traces of SMOOTH_REFRESH.
115 - nuked QNX support.
116 - made some fixes to xpm offset and scaling code.
25 - perl-overlays and refresh hooks were not applied in correct order. 117 - perl-overlays and refresh hooks were not applied in correct order.

27 - applied many patches by Emanuele Giaquinta that clean the code up 119 - iom extended to support listening for child exits.

29 - add tsl/fsl and related capabilities to the terminfo description,
30 to set the window title.
