+9.0
+TODO: on_seelction_popup hook or so.
+TODO: echo * at bottom => borked line lengths
+ - new script: perl/selection-pastebin
+ - improved security of setuid/setgid operation, which is now
+ encouraged, by moving privileged operations into a separate
+ process and permanently dropping privileges within the
+ terminal. This makes it possible to remove security checks from
+ the perl code and gives a much safer feeling when urxvt needs to
+ run with special privileges.
+ - use the scrollback buffer even when the scroll region doesn't
+ span the whole screen, as long as it starts at row 0.
+ - swap the environment in some more cases. This hopefully fixes
+ some segfaults that might be caused by xft asking for env variables
+ at the wrong time.
+ - selection popup now shows selection in dec/hex/oct.
+ - perl/selection: matching on unicode characters in the selection
+ code was O(n²), which equals infinity in some degenerate cases
+ :-> Matching is now done on UTF-8, which makes it almost instant.
+ - perl/selection, perl/selection-autotransform: regexes are now
+ being interpreted in the locale urxvt was started.
+ - perl-overlays and refresh hooks were not applied in correct order.
+ - changed coordinate-system of view_start/nsaved to be top to bottom.
+ - complete overhaul of the pty/utmp management stuff and configure
+ (Emanuele Giaquinta).
+ - removed src/strings.C and src/menubar.C. No menubar support
+ anymore.
+ - add tsl/fsl and related capabilities to the terminfo description,
+ to set the window title.
+ - removed all traces of SMOOTH_REFRESH.
+ - nuked QNX support.
+
+7.0 Fri Jan 13 14:02:18 CET 2006
+ - added sections for DISTRIBUTION MAINTAINERS and about
+ SETUID/SETGID to the FAQ.
+ - selection, searchable-scrollback, selection-popup and
+ option-popup extensions enabled by default.
+ - increased xft drawing speed for problematic fonts. The effect
+ will likely be small as 99% of the xft slowness is server-related.
+ - perl: much increased functionality, better overlays, popup support
+ and much much more.
+ - perl: urxvt::line now can set via ->t and ->r.
+ - perl: changed interpretation of --perl-ext-common and -pe.
+ - perl: finally implemented --perl-eval.
+ - perl: non-blocking anyevent support.
+ - perl: run tainted and ignore perl-eval/perl-lib if started
+ setuid/setgid.
+ - free the resource database: this plugs a massive memory leak. As a
+ side effect, it also gets rid of XGetDefault calls.
+ - free one of the cursors, fixes a small memory leak.
+ - built-in (as opposed to terminfos) visual bell was broken/too fast.
+ - applied minor cleanups by Ladislav Michnovic.
+ - applied pty handling cleanups and improvements (Emanuele Giaquinta).
+ - mark-urls launch-on-click by jepler.
+ - removed "small" resource parsing function, as it wasn't really
+ compatible, and not really small either.
+ - removed PATH_ENV and PATH file search support.
+ - removed support for locale-specific app-defaults file.
+ - fixed a bug where out-of-bounds colour sequences could lead
+ to crashes.
+ - limit colour changing to the standard 88 palette instead of all
+ colours.
+ - XTerm_Color01 sequence returned wrong results in query mode.
+ - iom.C now checks against destructed io_manager when unregistering.
+
+6.3 Wed Jan 4 22:37:10 CET 2006
+ - SECURITY FIX: on systems using openpty, permissions were
+ not correctly updated on the tty device and were left as
+ world-readable and world-writable (likely in original rxvt,
+ too), and were not restored properly. Affected are only
+ systems where non-unix ptys were used (such as most BSDs, not
+ GNU/Linux). (found, patched and debugged by Ryan Beasley).
+ - meta8 support was forcefully enabled in most configurations.
+ restored configurability of this (useless) feature (reported
+ by Mikachu).
+ - optionally embed a perl interpreter, which can be used for more
+ intelligent/customized selection support, visual feedback,
+ menus, tabs etc. See the the urxvtperl manpage, the -pe option,
+ perl*-resources and keysym resources. Not everything is there yet.
+ - try to be more clever about differing font sizes and their ascent.
+ Not guarenteed to work, but works better in most cases now.
+ - fix directory permissions on install.
+ - implemented option to disable built-in line drawing characters
+ and fall back to the font ones (patch by Martin Pohlack).
+ - disabled sched_yield support: the linux version is just too useless
+ (it schedules nice'd processes before the own one for extended
+ periods). Too bad, it could reduce system time by a factor of 5 here.
+
+6.2 Mon Jan 2 16:03:01 CET 2006
+ - implemented intensityStyles option which enables/disables bold/blink
+ selecting high intensity foreground/background colours, suggested by
+ Chuck Blake.
+ - move iso14755 character feedback box out of the way if it would
+ obscure the mouse cursor position.
+ - replaced callback.h by a fixed version from gvpe that correctly
+ returns the callback result (affects new -pty-fd semantics in urxvtc
+ on a few architectures). Reported by darix.
+ - include one trailing space in rectangular selections to indicate
+ the inserted newline (yeah, weird, but visually more pleasing).
+ - try to use sched_yield to (drastically) improve terminal data
+ transfer efficiency.
+ - further minor cleanups.
+
+6.1 Tue Dec 27 13:23:40 CET 2005
- update iso8859-7 table (euro and drachma round-trip et al.).
- fix a crash when the selection scrolls out of the scrollback
while the user still drags.
not drawn correctly.
- lines newly scrolled in were not initialized properly, leading
to extremely long lines and (hopefully) some segfaults.
+ - iso14755 overlay position was wrong.
+ - iso14755 overlay now displays rendition info, too.
+ - use unicode white space class instead of hardcoded values for
+ stripping whitespace.
+ - do whitespace stripping on rectangular selections.
+ - slight cleanups in src/features.h.
6.0 Sat Dec 24 13:58:56 CET 2005
- make it compile without SMART_RESIZE again.
1.8 Mon Feb 2 20:09:18 CET 2004
- almost total conversion to C++. Except for introducing
new bugs, this should not change much.
- - fix and re-enable background pixmap and inherit pixmap support.
- - re-enabled multiple scrollbar support.
- - added plain scrollbar style and restored xterm scrollbar.
+ - fix and re-enable background pixmap and inherit pixmap support.
+ - re-enabled multiple scrollbar support.
+ - added plain scrollbar style and restored xterm scrollbar.
- blinking and selections work slightly better now.
- fix an error condition when rxvt receives more than one screenful
of output. should occur with original rxvt, too, but very rarely.
