12 - selection, selection-popup and option-popup extensions 15 - SYNCCVS: updated to rxvt-cvs 2006-01-28, no relevant changes.
13 enabled by default. 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 - small configure updates.
20
217.4 Sat Jan 28 15:26:27 CET 2006
22 - screen background wasn't always erased properly when scrolling,
23 - re-enabled clearing optimisation disabled in 7.4pre.
24 - small configure updates for libptytty.
25 - fixed version options: line output.
26 - removed stoopid debugging message left in the code.
27
287.3 Wed Jan 25 22:47:35 CET 2006
29 - don't let iso14755 or mouse reporting get into the way of perl
30 (could lead to global grabs never being cleared).
31 - experimental OnTheSpot editing support (-pe xim-onthespot).
32 - moved Shift-Button2 paste combination to Meta-Button2.
33 - the cutchars resource will now be respected and used by the
34 selection extension.
35 - added the "remote-clipboard" extension which just runs external
36 commands to fetch and store the selection data.
37 - added -depth switch that tries to get a different visual depth
38 than the default (replaces the old PREFER_24_BIT logic).
39 - removed (unused) arabic presentation form composing sequences.
40 - be more strict when deciding that a core font glyph is too wide and
41 needs the careful rendering mode.
42 - allow more leeway for italic fonts when deciding that a character is
43 too wide and needs careful mode.
44 - redraw even more characters around characters using careful mode.
45 - made selection-pastebin fully asynchronous.
46 - reduced number of server turnarounds at startup by allocating
47 atoms only once per display.
48 - renamed on_keyboard_command to on_user_command.
49 - changed version sos (ESC [ > c) response to be more compatible with
50 xterm.

527.2 Sun Jan 22 21:58:16 CET 2006
53 - bugfix: urxvt (not urxvtd) did not correctly handle multiple
54 environments necessary, which resulted in segfaults within
55 getenv (reproducable: urxvt -fn 9x15, open a menu once,
56 ctrl-shift-672c).
57 - bugfix: the selection speedup in in 7.1 unfortunately caused
58 non-ascii characters to enlarge/move the selection.
59 - bugfix: resizing sometimes leaked lines from the secondary to
60 the primary screen.
61 - bugfix: reducing window size while large amounts of text were output
62 could lead to an assertion failure.
63 - added "tabbed" extension that provides a crude tabbed terminal.
64 - added "readline" extension that allows cursor positioning
65 via mouse clicks.
66 - now it is possible to insert the value of the CLIPBOARD selection
67 with shift - mouse button 2.
68 - fixed the automove-background extension to ignore coordinates
69 in non-synthetic events.
70 - created a separate libpty for portable and secure
71 pty/tty/utmp/wtmp/lastlog handling, and include it in rxvt-unicode.
72 - the non-terminfo visual bell now works asynchronously, so
73 continuous ASCI BELs in one terminal do no longer monopolise the
74 whole urxvt[d] process.
75 - support some *BSD makes (for the time being, gnu make is a safe bet).
76 - work around bugs in FreeBSD's gcc.
77 - implemented some *BSD fixes in configure.
78 - removed support for obsolete offix dnd protocol.

807.1 Thu Jan 19 20:25:34 CET 2006
81 - setuid/setgid operation is now _encouraged_: security has been
82 improved by moving privileged operations into a separate process
83 and permanently dropping privileges within the terminal. This
84 makes it possible to remove security checks from the perl code
85 and gives a much safer feeling when urxvt needs to run with
86 special privileges.
87 - perl taint checking disabled, as urxvt no longer runs setuid/setgid
88 itself.
89 - new perl extension automove-background that can be used to get
90 the same effect as pseudo-transparency with any pixmap.
91 - new perl extension example: perl/selection-pastebin, can be used to
92 e.g. upload the selection to a webserver and generate a url, or
93 similar stuff.
94 - use the scrollback buffer even when the scroll region doesn't
95 span the whole screen, as long as it starts at row 0. Helps
96 for programs displaying a status line at the bottom.
97 - selection popup now shows selection in dec/hex/oct.
98 - perl/selection: matching on unicode characters in the selection
99 code was O(n²), which equals infinity in some degenerate cases
100 :-> Matching is now done on UTF-8, which makes it almost instant.
101 - perl/selection, perl/selection-autotransform: regexes are now
102 being interpreted in the locale urxvt was started.
103 - implemented override-redirect option and enabled it on menus,
104 as kwin puts our windows behind the terminal (what a shoddy wm).
105 - fixed struct utmp check in configure for OpenBSD.
106 - complete overhaul of the pty/utmp management stuff and configure
107 (Emanuele Giaquinta).
108 - add tsl/fsl and related capabilities to the terminfo description,
109 to set the window title.
110 - swap the environment in some more cases. This hopefully fixes
111 some segfaults that might be caused by xft asking for env variables
112 at the wrong time.
113 - removed src/strings.C and src/menubar.C. No menubar support
114 anymore.
115 - removed all traces of SMOOTH_REFRESH.
116 - nuked QNX support.
117 - made some fixes to xpm offset and scaling code.
118 - perl-overlays and refresh hooks were not applied in correct order.
119 - changed coordinate-system of view_start/nsaved to be top to bottom.
120 - iom extended to support listening for child exits.

1227.0 Fri Jan 13 14:02:18 CET 2006
123 - added sections for DISTRIBUTION MAINTAINERS and about
124 SETUID/SETGID to the FAQ.
125 - selection, searchable-scrollback, selection-popup and
126 option-popup extensions enabled by default.
127 - increased xft drawing speed for problematic fonts. The effect
128 will likely be small as 99% of the xft slowness is server-related.

140 - built-in (as opposed to terminfos) visual bell was broken/too fast.
141 - applied minor cleanups by Ladislav Michnovic.
142 - applied pty handling cleanups and improvements (Emanuele Giaquinta).
143 - mark-urls launch-on-click by jepler.
144 - removed "small" resource parsing function, as it wasn't really
145 compatible, and not really small either.
146 - removed PATH_ENV and PATH file search support.
147 - removed support for locale-specific app-defaults file.
148 - fixed a bug where out-of-bounds colour sequences could lead
149 to crashes.
150 - limit colour changing to the standard 88 palette instead of all
151 colours.
152 - XTerm_Color01 sequence returned wrong results in query mode.
153 - iom.C now checks against destructed io_manager when unregistering.
