3TODO: harmonize --disable-options into position-dependent options. 3TODO: init_secondary serves what purpose? maybe move it to earlier startup phase and re-think
4TODO: after requesting the selection and getting a timeout, no further requests will be sent. 4TODO: xcopyarea pass broken, fix and improve
5TODO: event mechanism that replaces on_keyboard_command with something more scalable.
6TODO: slipwheeling needs a keyboard grab to get key release events.
7TODO: overlays collide with the way the out-of-focus cursor is being drawn
5TODO: "slow" rendering mode for bidi and scripts 8TODO: "slow" rendering mode for bidi and scripts, pango!
6TODO: read property sequence is broken with respect to utf-8 etc. 9TODO: read property sequence is broken with respect to utf-8 etc.
7TODO: http://www120.pair.com/mccarthy/nextstep/intro.htmld/Workspace.html is the correct nextstep look. 10TODO: slow drag selection on remote display - other things seem fast (rxvt illness, motion hints?)
8WISH: OnTheSpot editing, or maybe switch to miiiiiiif 11TODO: better resource handling for tabbar in -pe tabbed.
9WISH: just for fun, do shade and tint with XRender. 12WISH: investigate -pe tabbed -g 80x25 being 23 not 24 or 25 lines
13 => when setting the constraints, the wm might (correctly)
14 resize the outer window, which might result in a smaller window overall.
15 or something like that. guys, send me a patch.
16WISH: coloured pastebin
17WISH: selection-color-pair instead of reverse video
18WISH: load system-wide config file even if we don't have one
19WISH: look into XAddConnectionWatch, does anybody need that?
10WISH: support tex fonts 20DUMB: support tex fonts

24TODO: investgate wm resize race: while sleep 0.001; do printf "\033[?30l";sleep 0.001;printf "\033[?30h";done
25TODO: investigate miroslav patches
26TODO: cursor over overlays, when focus change?
27 - the aterm code now frees the as visual and image manager objects
28 when a window was closed.
29 - do not (wrongly) adjust the virtual line length inside
30 scr_insdel_chars/ERASE (Miroslav Lichvar).
31 - fix an issue where wide tab characters caused character shifts
32 when part of them was deleted (tracked down by Miroslav Lichvar).
33 - artificially enlargen the previous character at the end of a line
34 when trying to output a character that doesn't fit. looks ugly, but
35 makes copy&paste work.
36 - remove bogus "setuid/setgid security issues" from rxvt.1.pod, they
37 no longer apply.
38 - the urgency hint is now cleared on both focus in and focus out.
39 - cache urgency hint locally to avoid server rtt on every focus change.
40 - perl 5.10 needs PERL_SYS_INIT3 on hppa.
41 - ignore byte-order marks and do not treat them like combining characters.
42 - fix build issue when CURSOR_BLINK is not defined (Emanuele Giaquinta).
43 - do some µ-optimisations to the character fast path.
44 - use a less cunning, but more robust algorithm to avoid one terminal
45 monopolising the whole process by outputting a lot of text.
46 - try to work around linux first breaking sched_yield and now breaking
47 the only known workaround.
48 - new option -icon to set _NET_WM_ICON (based on patch by Frank Schmitt).
49 - intiialise the as visual only on demand, instead of unconditionally.
50
519.05 Sun Jun 15 20:09:20 CEST 2008
52 - new option --cd/chdir to set the starting working directory.
53 - tabbed extension now starts in the "correct" working directory.
54 - work around fedora 9 providing isastream but not the relevant
55 header file for it (report by Tuncer Ayaz).
56 - upgrade libev, fixing a bug in the select backend
57 with more than 31 file descriptors on non-linux 64 bit systems.
58 - correctly reset the multibyte state to the initial one
59 after EILSEQ (patch by Neil Booth). This fixes the
60 issue of rxvt-unicode not properly displaying text after an illegal
61 sequence on NetBSD and probably other systems.
62 - more intelligent property handling with -pe tabbed, works around
63 broken window managers (kwm et al.), saves bandwidth and should
64 help working window managers as well.
65 - made tabs moveable (based on a patch by Petr Machata).
66 - implement ESC [ 3 K as a more rational alternative to ESC [ 0 K.
67 - support relative paths for RXVT_SOCKET in urxvtd.
68 - the tabbed extension now blindly copies over all (rxvt-) resources
69 from the toplevel window to the children.
70 - better diagnostic on 0x0 window geometries.
71 - update AnyEvent API to version 3.4 and above.
72 - document the default value of :0 for DISPLAY.
73 - rename perl method XChangeWindowProperty to XChangeProperty.
74
759.02 Tue Jan 29 11:58:36 CET 2008
76 - the "exg makes everybody happy" release.
77 - fix build with !xft.
78 - always compile in plain style scrollbar (simplifies code and looks great).
79
809.01 Sat Jan 26 20:49:27 CET 2008
81 - be more aggressive about handling X events, this seems to be required
82 with newer xlibs (should fix the "screen stays black until event is
83 received" problem, again :)
84 - add buffered resource to control xft double-buffering.
85
869.0 Fri Jan 25 19:34:04 CET 2008
87 - fix a crash bug where urxvtd would crash when urxvtc was called
88 with wrong arguments (I wish debian maintainers in general would
89 report bugs and their proposed fixes to the original package maintaienrs
90 instead of sitting on them for good measure to see if anybody notices).
91 - drawing xft compose characters was causing garbage to be drawn.
92 - correctly clear xft character background in all cases.
93 - implement bracketed paste mode (xterm private mode 2004).
94 - improve documentation on alpha channel handling, make urxvt
95 work better on servers lacking the RENDER extension when alpha
96 channels or background images are used.
97 - check for refresh after initialising to avoid staying blank
98 till the first event arrives. or so.
99 - the FORCE_UNBUFFERED_XFT feature macro works again.
100 - continuously update transparency while moving/resizing now.
101 - OSC 39/49 are deprecated and aliased to OSC 10/11.
102 - cub1 now acts as advertised (and ignores the "wrapped" state).
103 - the 132/80 mode switch now forces a height of 24, too, and
104 resets the terminal.
105 - scrollbar code cleanups.
106 - stopping children is no longer confused with children exiting.
107 - removed (undocumented) #aarrggbb format.
108 - updated to libev 3.0.
109
1108.9 Mon Dec 24 07:51:40 CET 2007
111 - fix the issue where urxvtd would not immediately close a window
112 when the command exited but only on the next X event.
113 - changed terminfo file not to use application keypad mode.
114 - fix the issue where making a selection in one urxvtd window
115 would not clear it visually in another.
116 - fix an issue of urxvt not getting background pixmap updates
117 and flickering after bg pixmap changes (reported by Mikachu).
118 - fix redraw bug in xterm scrollbar with -sr (reported by Mikachu).
119 - correctly provide dependencies for libev (µikachu).
120 - minor code reorganisations and cleanups.
121 - be more robust in case the urxvt-popup extension cannot be loaded.
122
1238.8 Sat Dec 15 19:40:39 CET 2007
124 - option -C was aliased to all unsupported options, activating
125 options that shouldn't be compiled in, leading to interesting
126 effects.
127 - updated libev, working around a bug in linux 2.4, curing the
128 symptom of urxvt not closing its window on shell exit. also
129 fixes a problem with urxvt not refreshing.
130 - the text blink callback was called even when no blinking
131 text was visible.
132 - pre-8.4 slipwheeling behaviour has been reinstated, with
133 some minor improvements.
134 - streamlined x events processing to only flush once per
135 display and not once per terminal window.
136 - quite a bit of minor code cleanups and codesize optimisations.
137
1388.7 Sun Nov 25 10:23:49 CET 2007
139 - update libev with an important bugfix that would cause crashes
140 when closing windows (when using rxvtd, and update is recommended).
141 - do not compile in the block builtin graphics with --disable-frills.
142
1438.6 Fri Nov 23 14:10:57 CET 2007
144 - upgrade libev to disable kqueue on anything but netbsd as it
145 seems to be broken everywhere else w.r.t. ptys.
146 - allow for spurious event notifications, as at least epoll and
147 especially solaris ports like to lie about them (symptoms:
148 urxvt "hangs" until there is some x11 related activity).
149 - -keysym command line options are now subjected to xlib parsing.
150 - add 'xrm' option analogous to Xt one.
151
1528.5a Wed Nov 21 10:16:33 CET 2007
153 - make it compile with --disable-transparency.
154
1558.5 Wed Nov 21 05:19:20 CET 2007
156 - expect major portability issues in this release: please test and report.
157 - converted from the veritable io manager event loop to
158 the high performance libev (http://software.schmorp.de/pkg/libev).
159 - minor tuning to the perl selection (include single words and more quoting chars).
160 - fix memory leak in pixmap code.
161 - fix a serious bug while setting the XIM destroy callback
162 on (typical) 64 bit systems.
163 - automove-background functionality re-implemented internaly using :root op in pixmap
164 geometry string. For example: rxvt -pixmap "image.jpg;:root"
165 - do not link rxvtc against every lib on the planet anymore.
166 - parallel builds should work once more.
167
1688.4 Sat Oct 27 14:02:13 CEST 2007
169 - overhaul of the transparency/pixmap code (sasha).
170 - fix possible race betwen visual bell and poweron.
171 (reported by Martin von Gagern, gentoo?).
172 - urxvt -e no longer crashes the child.
173 - fixed some minor memleaks on incorrect usage or
174 missing DISPLAY.
175 - implement xterm 1002/1003 mouse tracking modes (exg).
176 - source code organisational cleanups (exg).
177 - updated io_manager.
178
1798.3 Wed Aug 1 20:21:31 CEST 2007
180 - new option: skipScroll/-ss, enabled by default.
181 - go with the times and expect x11 library files in /usr/lib, not
182 /usr/X11R6/lib.
183 - initial transparency improvement/afterimage support
184 patch by Sasha Vasko.
185 - add urgentOnBell resource to set the urgency hint
186 (patch by Philip Paeps).
187 - do not process focus events caused by grabs
188 (patch by Mikachu).
189 - add iso14755_52 resource to disable iso14755 5.2 (exg).
190 - add binding for backspace in iso14755 5.1 to remove the last
191 digit (exg).
192 - better option handling, support more than 30 options (exg).
193 - nuke reconf script, serves no purpose anymore.
194 - fixed and documented matcher/on_user_command processing in matcher
195 extension (tpope).
196 - compile out of the box on Solaris 10 (exg).
197 - fix MappingNotify events (reported by Stephan Walter).
198 - zero-initialise mwmhints, this seems to solve all sorts of minor
199 problems.
200
2018.2 Sat Feb 17 21:35:28 CET 2007
202 - fix make depend in src/, reported by exg.
203 - fixed typo in urxvt::GET_CUSTOM, causing the result to be wrong.
204 (patch by Sergey Vlasov).
205 - unbundled iom perl interface somewhat.
206 - scrollbar-xterm now uses the selected scrollColor instead of fg
207 (found by Aiviru).
208 - disabled linux kernel bug workaround again: disabling it gives
209 a 50% speed hit on affected machines, while enabling it gives
210 a similar speed hit to screen, which is likely the more common
211 case to work around for :/
212 - urxvt::rend2mask perl function, and utilization of it by matcher
213 (patch by Moshe Kamensky).
214 - use perl:matcher on a keysym to open most recently displayed URL.
215 - with matcher, when multiple patterns match, last wins, not first.
216 - fix make and make install with srcdir != builddir (exg).
217 - updated bundled libptytty to fix a bug where the tty would be kept
218 open (see the libptytty ChangeLog for details).
219 - delay setting the IUTF8 flag to after the tty settings have been
220 set so its value does not get lost (reported and analysed by Andrei
221 Paskevich).
222 - rip out support for obsolete sgtty.h interface.
223 - rip out support for non-POSIX termios variants.
224 - update libptytty.
225 - update iom.C, make it call ptytty::sanitise_stdfd on init.
226 - when !XFT, change rounding of colours to use a less correct formula to
227 meet user expectancies (#aaa becomes #a000a000a000 not #9f9f9f9f9f9f).
228 - change the starting offset of the pixmap set with backgroundPixmap
229 from (50,50) to (0,0) (exg).
230 - fix a typo in button_release, now meta-button2 request the value of
231 the Clipboard selection as it should (patch by Serge Koksharov).
232 - fix a bug in drawing a cell with a nonspacing char when using an xft
233 font with inheritPixmap and tintColor (exg).
234
2358.1 Thu Dec 7 22:27:25 CET 2006
236 - ケリスマスプレゼント - zomg!!1, it's too early!!!
237 - fix the assumption that chars < 256 are single-width. Now
238 only assume this for codepoints 32 to 126 (reported by Dai.H.).
239 - $term->strwidth returned wide chars as width 1, because some jerk
240 confused min and max. Fixing this also fixes xim-onthespot.
241 Reported by Takano Akio.
242 - secondaryScroll is now enabled by default (as per the manpage),
243 reported by exg.
244 - correct the description of [percent]color rgba format in the manpage.
245 - incorporated macosx-clipboard extension by Samuel Ljungkvist.
246 - ignore (some) useless focus events (reported by mmc).
247 - updated compose table to unicode 5.0.0.
248
2498.0 Thu Nov 2 18:35:19 CET 2006
250 - combining characters cleared the area instead of creating an overlay,
251 thus losing the ability to draw combining characters properly in most
252 circumstances (reported by exg).
253 - specified fonts were incorrectly morphed to bold/italic according to the
254 basefont, even if explicitly specified (tracked down by tpope).
255 - fixed urxvt::strwidth to calculate width in the same way as screen.C.
256 - fix a crash caused by passing negative widths to overlay functions.
257 - added 'matcher' extension by tpope, replacing the mark-urls extension.
258 - improve url regex to match anything www.* (tpope).
259 - fixed bug with outline cursor color being wrong after xft fonts.
260 - update to libptytty-1.0.
261 - give proper diagnostic when RXVT_SOCKET is too long instead of
262 corrupting the stack (patch by exg).
263 - display current terminal locale in option menu.
264 - urxvtd no longer crashes when the client sends an inaccessible
265 working directory (reported by Roland Baer, possibly fixes gentoo
266 bug #143985).
267 - fixed many minor issues reported by Roland Baer.
268 - Leonid Khramov spotted a minor glitch in rxvtfont.C that
269 should not have any consequences, but was buggy nonetheless.
270 - manpage fix by exg.
271
2727.9 Mon Aug 7 18:16:07 CEST 2006
273 - fix the crashing bug people encountered with 7.8 + urxvtd + perl
274 + transparency. Ought to fix debian bug #380348.
275 - fix urxvtc.1.pod: it actually claimed -pty-fd would not work. But
276 it does! :->
277 - rxvt_fatal() in case the locale string is too long for our static buffer.
278 - fixed many, many, typos in the manpages (patch supplied by ves).
279
2807.8 Mon Jul 17 21:00:46 CEST 2006
281 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: this version will always read ~/.Xdefaults,
282 earlier versions only read it if display-resources (usually from
283 .Xresources) are not set. This avoids the #1 FAQ ("why isn't my
284 resource used") and seems to be logical behaviour, too. .Xdefaults
285 resources have a lower priority than display-specific resources.
286 - add "kuake" perl extension that does a similar thing to the kuake
287 terminal emulator (see man urxtvperl).
288 - use less "correct" color scaling that is compatible with libX11 and
289 Xft (avoids off-by-one colors resulting in striped backgrounds).
290 - the "depth" resource is now respected.
291 - preset the searchable-scrollback pattern with "(?i)" to default search
292 to case-insensitivity. Will automatically be cleared when typing an
293 uppercase character.
294 - add FORCE_UNBUFFERED_XFT define to features.h.
295 - re-enabled highlightcolor support with --enable-frills, based on
296 a patch by Martin Stubenschrott.
297 - double-buffered xft drawing did suffer from pixel offset issues
298 when pixmap transparency was enabled.
299 - strategically add # to the url-match regexes, as we really want to
300 match common URIs not common URLs. Reported by Aaron Griffin.
301 - moved on_osc_seq to on_osc_seq_perl and added a more
302 generic osc_seq.
303 - fix a bug causing double callback invocations when perl hooks
304 were invoked recursively.
305 - the automove-background extension now properly works when the
306 pixmap gets reset with an osc sequence (sqweek).
307 - selection-pastebin did not work properly with non-latin1-characters.
308 - apply colorUL only when the text colour is the default fg
309 (patch by Wu Fengguang).
310 - removed rxvtlib.h from the tarball, it had no reason to be there
311 (spotted by Decklin Foster).
312 - fix compiling with TRANSPARENT but !XPM_BACKGROUND, as reported
313 by omatunto_.
314 - slap in a using namespace std, might help on platforms that don't
315 follow C++ closely enough.
316 - fix mailto url regex, spotted within milliseconds by Jost Krieger.
317 - applied fade_color_update_func.patch by WU Fengguang.
318 - fix a bug where (due to an optimisation in av_delete), hiding the
319 bottom-most overlay would hide two overlays.
320
3217.7 Tue Feb 21 12:32:49 CET 2006
322 - use double-buffered drawing (xft fonts only). On many driver/hardware
323 combination this actually increases xft drawing speed, at the expense
324 of more network bandwidth and slight nausea on the side of the author.
325 - readline perl extension now requires shift-click instead of a normal
326 click, and eats the click.
327 - tabbed perl extension now supports -e.
328 - disabled graphics-exposures on the main drawing GC, report any
329 refresh bugs please.
330 - improve property handling for -pe tabbed: avoid unnecessary property
331 changes (for kde's benefit) at the expense of extra round-trips,
332 improve size hint setting.
333 - modified XIM according to a patch sent by Takano Akio that sets
334 the preedit rectangle for OverTheSpot, which helps some input methods
335 to correctly position their preedit window.
336 - un-optimise the line clearing on newly scrolled-in lines a bit: the
337 former reasoning was that any fg colour on default bg looks the same
338 in empty spaces, but thats not true when reversing (e.g. selection),
339 so also check for matching fg colours. This fixes the problem where
340 selecting newly scrolled-in lines would exhibit wrong colours.
341 - fix a bug in the perl interface causing focus in events to generate
342 focus out perl events, causing bad focus effects with -pe tabbed.
343 - fix a race resulting in a crash on exiting.
344 - fix a with --disable-xft that caused xfreecolors to be called on
345 colors never allocated, resulting in aborts (reported by Paco-Paco).
346 - resources on non-initial screens weren't refetched correctly
347 (reported by Paco-Paco).
348 - fix a bug in xcopyarea pass and _disable_ it, as it seems not to be
349 working in either rxvt-unicode nor in the original rxvt.
350 - removed undocumented -exec alias for the -e option.
351
3527.6 Fri Feb 10 08:52:36 CET 2006
353 - changed interpretation of [alpha] colour prefix.
354 - +option now really sets the option to default, instead of using the
355 resource value.
356 - options that require an argument now really _require_ an argument.
357 - the tabbed extension now forwards focus and keys events to th
358 relevant tab window.
359 - tab colours are now configurable and have sensible defaults
360 (initial patch by hednod).
361 - option menu is extendable, readline, selection and
362 selection-autotransform can now be disabled/enabled at runtime.
363 - forcing a configure event to tabbed subwindows with -pe tabbed, for
364 the benefit of automove-background.
365 - the automove-background extension added a wrong constant offset.
366 - force refresh of XA_RESOURCE_STRING on virtual reconnect.
367 - return exit status 2 in urxvtc when urxvtd couldn't be contacted.
368 - the linux yield hack is back, now using usleep, and enabled only on
369 __linux__.
370 - further round trip eliminations in the !XFT case by remembering
371 the colour components.
372 - plain scrollbar works better with -sr.
373 - fixed half-shadow scrollbar look.
374 - more colour rtt optimisations.
375 - properly(?) free colours on window close.
376 - reorganised the FAQ into multiple sections.
377 - add ISO646.1991-IRV to the list of supported codesets.
378 - minor libptytty update.
379
3807.5 Tue Jan 31 15:15:43 CET 2006
381 - further improvements to the careful mode detection, and font width
382 detection:
383 - fully double-wide fonts will now be correctly treated,
384 - overlap detection was improved.
385 - detect totally broken fonts (usually synthesized by xft).
386 - careful mode forced refresh sometimes clashed with blinking,
387 causing unnecessary screen redraws.
388 - better handling of XFT combining characters.
389 - enable antialiasing for some replacement fonts, as they
390 might get used for other encodings which really need it, later.
391 - remove spacing=100 from all default fonts, as this creates totally
392 weird spacing (5 times normal) with xft.
393 - removed iso10646 fallback, as xorgs iso10646 encoded fonts are mostly
394 broken.
395 - removed gnu unifont fallback, all combining characters are broken.
396 - replace named colours by xorg's rgb.txt equivalents, to
397 reduce round trip time on startup, and short-cut allocation
398 of rgb:rr/gg/bb for xft.
399 - short-cut allocation of rgb values in the xlib case
400 (patch by Paco-Paco).
401 - overhauled color management: smaller codesize, alpha support.
402 - support "rgba:rrrr/gggg/bbbb/aaaa" color specifications and
403 an "[alpha]" prefix.
404 - try to work around Xft and Xrender forcing everything to be 100%
405 transparent. Long Live Xft!
406 - do not include X11/Intrinsic.h anymore, directly use
407 Xlib/Xutil/Xresource directly.
408 - try to find a nearest matching color when color allocation fails
409 on a pseudocolor screen.
410 - SYNCCVS: compared to rxvt-cvs 2006-01-28, no relevant changes.
411 - fix version report (DA) (which was unfortunately broken).
412 - changed version number report again, now to emulate xterm closer.
413 - added the OSC sequence 702 to detect the urxvt version number.
414 - small configure updates.
415 - further RTT optimisations.
416 - backported clean-up patches for makefiles and documentation from
417 the debian package.
418 - updated doc/rxvt-unicode.spec file. It's still not maintained here,
419 but much newer than the old one.
420
4217.4 Sat Jan 28 15:26:27 CET 2006
422 - screen background wasn't always erased properly when scrolling,
423 - re-enabled clearing optimisation disabled in 7.4pre.
424 - small configure updates for libptytty.
425 - fixed version options: line output.
426 - removed stoopid debugging message left in the code.
427
4287.3 Wed Jan 25 22:47:35 CET 2006
429 - don't let iso14755 or mouse reporting get into the way of perl
430 (could lead to global grabs never being cleared).
431 - experimental OnTheSpot editing support (-pe xim-onthespot).
432 - moved Shift-Button2 paste combination to Meta-Button2.
433 - the cutchars resource will now be respected and used by the
434 selection extension.
435 - added the "remote-clipboard" extension which just runs external
436 commands to fetch and store the selection data.
437 - added -depth switch that tries to get a different visual depth
438 than the default (replaces the old PREFER_24_BIT logic).
439 - removed (unused) arabic presentation form composing sequences.
440 - be more strict when deciding that a core font glyph is too wide and
441 needs the careful rendering mode.
442 - allow more leeway for italic fonts when deciding that a character is
443 too wide and needs careful mode.
444 - redraw even more characters around characters using careful mode.
445 - made selection-pastebin fully asynchronous.
446 - reduced number of server turnarounds at startup by allocating
447 atoms only once per display.
448 - renamed on_keyboard_command to on_user_command.
449 - changed version sos (ESC [ > c) response to be more compatible with
450 xterm.

4527.2 Sun Jan 22 21:58:16 CET 2006
453 - bugfix: urxvt (not urxvtd) did not correctly handle multiple
454 environments necessary, which resulted in segfaults within
455 getenv (reproducable: urxvt -fn 9x15, open a menu once,
456 ctrl-shift-672c).
457 - bugfix: the selection speedup in in 7.1 unfortunately caused
458 non-ascii characters to enlarge/move the selection.
459 - bugfix: resizing sometimes leaked lines from the secondary to
460 the primary screen.
461 - bugfix: reducing window size while large amounts of text were output
462 could lead to an assertion failure.
463 - added "tabbed" extension that provides a crude tabbed terminal.
464 - added "readline" extension that allows cursor positioning
465 via mouse clicks.
466 - now it is possible to insert the value of the CLIPBOARD selection
467 with shift - mouse button 2.
468 - fixed the automove-background extension to ignore coordinates
469 in non-synthetic events.
470 - created a separate libpty for portable and secure
471 pty/tty/utmp/wtmp/lastlog handling, and include it in rxvt-unicode.
472 - the non-terminfo visual bell now works asynchronously, so
473 continuous ASCI BELs in one terminal do no longer monopolise the
474 whole urxvt[d] process.
475 - support some *BSD makes (for the time being, gnu make is a safe bet).
476 - work around bugs in FreeBSD's gcc.
477 - implemented some *BSD fixes in configure.
478 - removed support for obsolete offix dnd protocol.
479
4807.1 Thu Jan 19 20:25:34 CET 2006
481 - setuid/setgid operation is now _encouraged_: security has been
482 improved by moving privileged operations into a separate process
483 and permanently dropping privileges within the terminal. This
484 makes it possible to remove security checks from the perl code
485 and gives a much safer feeling when urxvt needs to run with
486 special privileges.
487 - perl taint checking disabled, as urxvt no longer runs setuid/setgid
488 itself.
489 - new perl extension automove-background that can be used to get
490 the same effect as pseudo-transparency with any pixmap.
491 - new perl extension example: perl/selection-pastebin, can be used to
492 e.g. upload the selection to a webserver and generate a url, or
493 similar stuff.
494 - use the scrollback buffer even when the scroll region doesn't
495 span the whole screen, as long as it starts at row 0. Helps
496 for programs displaying a status line at the bottom.
497 - selection popup now shows selection in dec/hex/oct.
498 - perl/selection: matching on unicode characters in the selection
499 code was O(n²), which equals infinity in some degenerate cases
500 :-> Matching is now done on UTF-8, which makes it almost instant.
501 - perl/selection, perl/selection-autotransform: regexes are now
502 being interpreted in the locale urxvt was started.
503 - implemented override-redirect option and enabled it on menus,
504 as kwin puts our windows behind the terminal (what a shoddy wm).
505 - fixed struct utmp check in configure for OpenBSD.
506 - complete overhaul of the pty/utmp management stuff and configure
507 (Emanuele Giaquinta).
508 - add tsl/fsl and related capabilities to the terminfo description,
509 to set the window title.
510 - swap the environment in some more cases. This hopefully fixes
511 some segfaults that might be caused by xft asking for env variables
512 at the wrong time.
513 - removed src/strings.C and src/menubar.C. No menubar support
514 anymore.
515 - removed all traces of SMOOTH_REFRESH.
516 - nuked QNX support.
517 - made some fixes to xpm offset and scaling code.
518 - perl-overlays and refresh hooks were not applied in correct order.
519 - changed coordinate-system of view_start/nsaved to be top to bottom.
520 - iom extended to support listening for child exits.

547 - removed support for locale-specific app-defaults file.
548 - fixed a bug where out-of-bounds colour sequences could lead
549 to crashes.
550 - limit colour changing to the standard 88 palette instead of all
551 colours.
552 - XTerm_Color01 sequence returned wrong results in query mode.
553 - iom.C now checks against destructed io_manager when unregistering.
