15    
16 root 1.463 6.2
17 root 1.464 - SECURITY FIX: on systems using openpty (not GNU/Linux, probably
18     most BSDs), privileges weren't dropped before opening the pty,
19     resulting in wrong permissions on the pseudo terminal.
20     Reported and fixed by Ryan Beasley.
21 root 1.465 - implemented intensityStyles option which enables/disables bold/blink
22     selecting high intensity foreground/background colours, suggested by
23     Chuck Blake.
24 root 1.466 - move iso14755 character feedback box out of the way if it would
25     obscure the mouse cursor position.
26 root 1.463 - replaced callback.h by a fixed version from gvpe that correctly
27 root 1.464 returns the callback result (affects new -pty-fd semantics in urxvtc
28     on a few architectures). Reported by darix.
29 root 1.469 - include one trailing space in rectangular selections to indicate
30     the inserted newline (yeah, weird, but visually more pleasing).
31 root 1.467 - further minor cleanups.
32 root 1.463
33 root 1.461 6.1 Tue Dec 27 13:23:40 CET 2005
34 root 1.454 - update iso8859-7 table (euro and drachma round-trip et al.).
35 root 1.452 - fix a crash when the selection scrolls out of the scrollback
36     while the user still drags.
37 root 1.453 - selections that were partially scrolled out of the window were
38     not drawn correctly.
39 root 1.455 - lines newly scrolled in were not initialized properly, leading
40     to extremely long lines and (hopefully) some segfaults.
41 root 1.457 - iso14755 overlay position was wrong.
42     - iso14755 overlay now displays rendition info, too.
43 root 1.459 - use unicode white space class instead of hardcoded values for
44     stripping whitespace.
45 root 1.458 - do whitespace stripping on rectangular selections.
46 root 1.460 - slight cleanups in src/features.h.
47 root 1.452
48 root 1.449 6.0 Sat Dec 24 13:58:56 CET 2005
49 root 1.437 - make it compile without SMART_RESIZE again.
50 root 1.439 - enable slow link support by default.
51 root 1.441 - fix relative cursor-positioning not respecting scrolling regions
52     (also a bug in original rxvt).
53 root 1.442 - initialize termios structure to zero when fetching it fails
54     (see http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=84647 for a
55     partial patch).
56     - bump max columns/rows to 10000 each.
57     - bump max savelines to 10000000.
58 root 1.447 - -pty-fd now passes the urxvtc fd to the urxvtd process.
59 root 1.448 - avoid linking against -lnsl/-lsocket/-lxpg4 unless neccessary.
60 root 1.441 - major code cleanup (still not complete, though).
61 root 1.445 - implement -hold option.
62 root 1.441 - _major_ rewrite of internal buffer handling:
63 root 1.443 - re-flow on resize, lines get wrapped instead of winged.
64 root 1.440 - circular line buffer (substantially speeds up scrolling).
65     - slightly less code + data memory usage per terminal.
66     - slight overall speed improvements.
67     - considerably improved code clarity.
68 root 1.439 - partial-screen scrolls no longer end up in the scrollback
69     buffer.
70 root 1.437
71 root 1.436 5.9 Sat Dec 17 21:53:17 CET 2005
72 root 1.432 - fix a bug in the menu code of unknown impact, found by darix.
73     - clean up signal handling to be global, not per terminal
74     (matters only for rxvtd).
75 root 1.434 - fix small typoe in rxvt.1 (found by Mike Fabian).
76 root 1.433 - don't crash when broken xft/fontconfig/freetype versions return
77 root 1.434 bogus data, ignore the xft font instead (experienced on suse).
78 root 1.431
79 root 1.429 5.8 Tue Oct 25 22:21:45 CEST 2005
80 root 1.428 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: many configure options are now on by default.
81 root 1.430 If you want the old behaviour, try:
82     configure --disable-everything <your enable options>
83     - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: -fade changed it's meaning to comply with
84     the documentation and common sense: when upgrading, replace your
85     percentage by 100-percentage.
86     - integrated "fade to specific colour" patch by Martin Parm.
87     - slow down the internal visual bell (delay by 20ms) and update
88     the terminfo flash code to use the same delay. This is
89     synchronous, so many bells might inhibit screen updates in other
90     windows.
91     - text with background==foreground colour gets displayed with default
92     bg/fg now when in reverse video, so it can be seen when selecting.
93     - allow koi8r* as x11 encoding name for koi8r (Nikita Danilov).
94     - removed undocumented inheritPixmapforce option.
95     - replaced INSTALL file.
96    
97 root 1.415 5.7 Wed Jul 13 04:46:33 CEST 2005
98 root 1.411 - implement some useful (hopefully) options for rxvtd.
99 root 1.430 - separate and improved rxvtc(1) and rxvtd(1) manpages.
100     - fix a bug that caused segfaults on startup on systems that do
101     not support local unix connections, e.g cygwin. (btw, I didn't
102     even know about the -rootless and -multiwindow Cygwin/X modes).
103     - large amounts of text without control sequences or newlines
104     could almost freeze output. This has been fixed by adding extra
105 root 1.441 refreshes in these cases (also a problem in original rxvt).
106 root 1.411
107 root 1.410 5.6 Sun Jun 26 22:11:13 CEST 2005
108 root 1.430 - R_SB_RXVT bitset value was 0, so rxvt scrollbar was initialised
109     every time resulting in display errors (original rxvt also affected).
110     Reported by Jasmin Buchert.
111     - font names are now considered to be utf-8 encoded (xft apperently
112     uses this convention. X Core fonts might not, but it should be rare).
113     Affects display in iso14755 box.
114     - rewrote the low-level xft drawing function ("xft backend" for the
115     hipper parts of the world) to hopefully cope better with proportional
116     chars mixed with fixed-width ones.
117     - rxvt is now much more careful (read: slower) with potentially
118     overlapping xft characters. It usually overshoots and redraws
119     more than required, but that's better than undershooting and
120     cutting pieces off of characters.
121     - rxvt is now more restrictive in what font heights it accepts for
122     fonts that will likely overshoot or undershoot lines.
123     - fix a cosmetic problem with the unfocused cursor on a wide character
124     at the end of the line (reported by Mikachu).
125     - wide characters not fitting into the end of the line will be
126     output in the next line (reported by Mikachu).
127     - added doc/solaris9.patch by Ewgenij Starostin.
128 root 1.399
129 root 1.396 5.5 Sat Apr 23 22:31:36 CEST 2005
130 root 1.394 - re-enabled modifer state matching as in 5.3, but implement
131 root 1.430 a new builtin: keysym style that simply reverts to the built-in
132     meaning of the given key.
133     - use scrollcolor for next scrollbar instead of hardcoded antiquewhite
134     (patch by Martin Edlman).
135 root 1.394
136 root 1.393 5.4 Mon Apr 18 00:33:31 CEST 2005
137     - match modifier state exactly in custom keyboard code.
138 root 1.430 this is necessary because it has no knowledge about
139     built-in mappings and so will overwrite them. the priority-code
140     will be re-enabled when this has changed, so watch out.
141 root 1.393 - cursor blinking now depends on frills.
142 root 1.430 - underline cursor mode (frills, -uc).
143 root 1.393 - implement special value (*g*) for pointerBlankDelay
144 root 1.433 to disable it.
145 root 1.393
146 root 1.392 5.3 Sun Mar 13 00:20:44 CET 2005
147     - fix a bug that allowed to overflow a buffer via a long
148 root 1.430 escape sequence, which is probably exploitable (fix by
149     Rob Holland / Yoann Vandoorselaere / Gentoo Audit Team).
150     - Custom key mappings no longer confuse mouse buttons
151     with modifiers.
152 root 1.389 - use XmbSetWMProperties instead of XSetWMProperties.
153     - properly update WM_LOCALE.
154 root 1.430 - implement _NET_WM_PING protocol.
155     - implemented escape sequences to move the scrollback buffer view
156     and clear the scrollback buffer.
157 root 1.389
158 root 1.388 5.2 Sun Feb 20 01:48:59 CET 2005
159 root 1.381 - new option -pty-fd that makes the terminal a slave
160 root 1.430 that uses an existing pty for I/O instead of starting
161     a command.
162     - implement enough of XEMBED to allow for correct focus.
163     - added doc/embed-tk, an embedding example in Perl/Tk,
164     and doc/rxvt-tabbed, a primitive tabbed shell implemented
165     in Perl/Gtk2.
166     - fix assertion failure ("crash") on mousewheel-scrolling
167     when the terminal height is small, by removing the assert.
168     (reported by Mikael Magnusson).
169     - SYNCCVS. backported bugfixes done to rxvt
170     (sourceforge bugs #1028739, #1028732), except for
171     pts/%s fix as it seems to collide with freebsd,
172     and sourceforge bug #954654, which is not neccessary.
173     - change terminfo file to not clobber G1 when using
174     line-drawing characters, as this seems to mess
175     with EUC-JP (it will clobber G0, but G0 practically
176     needs to be US-ASCII all the time).
177     - toggle default application keypad/cursor mode to help
178     some apps who fail to set the correct mode.
179     - check for WM_PROTOCOLS type in ClientMessage as to
180     not destroy the window for other types of messages.
181 root 1.379 - remove shared library (or any library) support - it is
182 root 1.430 of no use currently (and -embed is a better way to embed
183     rxvt-unicode).
184     - get rid of the intpro files.
185 root 1.373
186 root 1.372 5.1 Tue Feb 15 17:13:27 CET 2005
187 root 1.361 - fix a bug when parsing fontnames and another one
188 root 1.430 for empty keymaps which could result in crashes
189     (Kuang-che Wu).
190     - new option: -embed (frills). somebody could write a simple
191     tk script to make a tab'able terminal now...
192     - only warn on X errors and _try_ to continue (frills).
193     - add COPYING back, which got lost somehow.
194     - after deciding that LSM is dead, remove all traces of it,
195     along with other, similar, cleanups.
196     - _try_ to react sensibly to some non-monotonic time changes.
197     - don't crash in urxvtc when getcwd fails (reported by Paco-Paco).
198     - tweak font searching algorithm a bit to be faster and more
199     compatible with older rxvt-unicode versions when multiple fonts
200     match (reported by Paco-Paco).
201     - urxvtd tries to stay in "/" whenever possible.
202 root 1.361
203 root 1.360 5.0 Fri Feb 11 18:31:48 CET 2005
204     - document a race-free hack to start urxvtd.
205 root 1.430 - document all(?) environment variables used and set by rxvt.
206     - bring xgetdefault-style resource file ordering more in line with
207     Xt, and document it in rxvt(1).
208     - correctly use screen-dependent resources when --enable-xgetdefault,
209     and also fix some memory bugs (thanks to Thierry Reding for
210     his patience and time in tracking this down).
211     - bring own resource parsing more in line with X resource parsing,
212     most notably, don't remove double quotes.
213 root 1.360 - compile fix for freebsd (no ut_id) (Thierry Thomas).
214 root 1.430 - clean up utmp and pty on X I/O errors and signals (idea
215     by Joël Riou).
216     - "un"document -xrm, it never really worked, was only
217     available with --enable-xgetdefault, is not necessary
218     and is surprisingly hard to implement.
219     - shaved off some code segment size.
220     - various code cleanups.
221     - more keysym-mapping fixes.
222 root 1.360
223 root 1.346 4.9 Thu Feb 3 09:52:03 CET 2005
224 root 1.430 - nuke out utmp entries completely. Should be fixed in
225     original rxvt, too. (reported by James Michael Fultz).
226     - resizes wil now correctly refresh the displayed text when
227     -pixmap is active.
228     - new option/resource imFont.
229     - document --tripleclickwords/-tcw.
230     - select logical instead of physical lines when doing a triple-click.
231     - reordered help listing to group similar options together.
232     - handle SIGINT the same way as SIGTERM (reported by Joël Riou).
233     - fix a bug introduced while applying the keyboard patch
234     (WU Fengguang).
235     - document all window-op sequences (rxvt.7.) and more keysym
236     examples (rxvt.1).
237     - removed src/test completely.
238     - renamed keysym 'proto:'-prefix to 'command:'.
239 root 1.287
240 root 1.331 4.8 Tue Jan 18 02:23:57 CET 2005
241 root 1.430 - added a patch by WU Fengguang that makes the keyboard
242     highly configurable (e.g. locale changes, custom escape
243     sequences, and more). See keysym resource in rxvt(1).
244     - remove default key sequence for unknown keys again, as this
245     can be achieved by customizing the keyboard now.
246     - fix some freeing problems when destroying the rxvt_display,
247     resulting in segfaults.
248     - don't crash when the saved cursor position doesn't fit on the
249     screen (wrong assert in original rxvt, reported by ikaro).
250     - fix signed/unsigned bugs on wc<->mb conversions.
251     - reset slipwheel scrolling speed when reaching the top or bottom
252     (Mikael Magnusson).
253     - for core fonts, use ascent + descent when a font is loaded,
254     and PIXEL_SIZE when not. when loading a font, iterate until a
255     font has been found that _really_ fits the height (reported and
256     tested by Olivier Wittenberg).
257     - set IUTF8 input flag, when defined (linux-2.6.5+).
258     - only define _XOPEN_SOURCE on solaris.
259     - autogenerate src/* dependency list.
260     - fixed linespace option, which ought to work now (and is dependent
261     on frills, not on it's own configure option).
262     - include pty.h, if available (cygwin).
263     - removed W11 directory from dist, it wasn't used anyway.
264     - initialize the locale much earlier.
265     - fixed two tiny per-instance memory leaks.
266 root 1.331
267 root 1.312 4.7 Wed Dec 29 20:54:24 CET 2004
268 root 1.430 - fix a bug in the event logic that could cause the temrinal to be
269     black on initial startup.
270     - do NOT call XCloseIM, ever. This causes way to many crashes due to
271     races in the protocol and within Xlib.
272 root 1.312 - map iso-left-tab to the same sequence as shift-tab.
273 root 1.430 - generate a unique escape sequence for many unknown keys, such as
274     additional multimedia keys.
275     - mask out high (non-unicode) bits on wide characters, to cope with
276     implementations that store tag info in the high bits.
277 root 1.312
278 root 1.305 4.6 Thu Dec 16 07:54:23 CET 2004
279 root 1.292 - try very hard not to exhaust the kernel tty buffers, even
280 root 1.430 if it slows down large pastes and is only cosmetic.
281     - streamline atom and xft color allocation to reduce startup
282     time (12.8s -> 7.8s on my dsl). Still, doing it with only 2-3
283     turnarounds would be much faster, but impossible to implement(?).
284     - implement underlineColor resource when ENABLE_FRILLS.
285     - iom left it's signal pipe handle open in the child
286     process. Fortunately not security-relevant as the pipe data gets
287     ignored.
288     - do not use XSETROOTPMAP_ID anymore, support ESETROOT_PMAP_ID
289     instead.
290     - fix a crash in rxvtd when the last window was being closed
291     (reported by hednod).
292     - fix an unlikely memory leak.
293     - fix atom name enumeration.
294 root 1.291
295 root 1.290 4.5 Mon Dec 13 07:47:16 CET 2004
296     - fix an extremely nasty bug in utf8-conversion. upgrade is advised.
297 root 1.430 - completely re-wrote selection pasting. This should fix garbled
298     incomplete characters at 32k boundaries and too-short INCR
299     selections, and more. Increases memory requirements considerably
300     for large selections, but that seems unavoidable.
301 root 1.288
302     4.4 Sun Dec 12 22:10:06 CET 2004
303 root 1.287 - rewrote handling of default-char width.
304 root 1.430 - implement _NET_WM_NAME et al., and also use UTF8_STRING
305     for the xterm property esc. sequence. Allows i18n window
306     titles etc.
307     - SMART_WINDOW_TITLE removed, pls. complain if you need this.
308     - added GBK encoding (formidable patch by WU Fengguang).
309     - fixed a bug in the transparency code.
310     - upgraded iom.[Ch].
311     - force slower (but more responsive) transparency update.
312     - fix off-by-one bug with wide characters at the end of a line,
313     which got partially overwritten by spaces.
314     - as xlib is completely broken with respect to utf-8 handling
315     and nobody is going to fix it, that part has been re-implemented.
316     should fix most paste problems between apps that use UTF8 encoding
317     and rxvt running in a lesser-supported locale (thanks to Robin Redeker
318     for writing utf8towcs). Only enabled with ENABLE_FRILLS.
319     - darwin compile fix by Ethan Blanton.
320     - fix the colour of the underline, which was rather random before.
321 root 1.272
322 root 1.274 4.3 Sat Dec 4 04:58:37 CET 2004
323 root 1.430 - unapply the "emulated graphical chars. respect wcwidth" patch.
324     obviously in locales not having these characters they should
325     still have a width. Solve it correctly by not relying on wcwidth.
326     Note to self: do not ever apply patches without checking them
327     thoroughly.
328     - updated .spec file, it's included in the release tarball
329     now, too.
330 root 1.274
331 root 1.272 4.2 Wed Dec 1 03:30:22 CET 2004
332 root 1.287 - make emulated graphical characters respect wcwidth (Kuang-che Wu).
333 root 1.430 - remove debugging code that caused major slowdowns
334     on high-latency networks.
335     - wide characters shift the correct number of characters
336     in insert mode now. Reported by Gunnar Ritter.
337     - doc/rxvt-unicode.spec file contributed by Ville Herva.
338     - make storage of tab movements as characters optional
339     on the -ptab option and pastableTabs: resource. On request
340     by Gunnar Ritter.
341     - fix a bug where :size= argument for xft fonts was ignored
342     or used incorrectly. Reported by Ville Herva.
343 root 1.252
344 root 1.263 4.1 Sun Nov 21 21:10:19 CET 2004
345     - save and restore cursor position in secondary screen regardless of
346 root 1.430 -ssc/-ssr settings.
347 root 1.263 - fix some 64-bit bugs that lead to crashes with certain other
348 root 1.430 programs like vncviewer (original rxvt also affected).
349 root 1.263 - added doc/podtbl to the dist tarball.
350 root 1.430 - add compile fix for darwin.
351     - configure fix for transparency without tinting.
352     - changed CN to ZH _really_ everywhere.
353     - upgraded iom.[Ch].
354 root 1.263
355 root 1.252 4.0 Mon Sep 13 01:10:26 CEST 2004
356     - turn off autohinting for some badly-hinted fallback fonts.
357 root 1.430 - mnaapge tpyo crorcetoins by Bastian Kleineidam.
358     - implemented rectangular selections (button+meta), experimental.
359     - implement race-free signal handling in iom.C.
360     - use iom.C signal handling to avoid races in signal handling.
361     - use default action on SIGINT and SIGQUIT, instead of terminating.
362     - "the return of the 100 times per second refresh bug".
363     ... terminated by a fix.
364     - new supported preeeditType "None".
365     - added FAQ about possible compose key problems.
366     - changed CN to ZH everywhere (sorry for the confusion).
367     - move XFilterEvent up, as some input method seem to want events
368     for windows not requesting XIM. Please report if this change
369     causes any harm (specially with pointerblanking)
370     (patch by Kuang-che Wu).
371     - send the input method spot position on every refresh, not just
372     when rxvt thinks it should (which was not often enough...).
373     - fix double-wide combining characters (it might look a bit ugly,
374     though, but common cases are handled by normalization anyways).
375     - moved FAQ to rxvt(7), also made a copy into README.FAQ.
376     - fix a bug(?) in the XIM destroy callback.
377     - be more conservative when trying to register new input methods,
378     as Xlib races might make rxvt crash. When two or more
379     input methods are active, killing one probably still crashes rxvt
380     due to that bug :( Thanks a lot to Kuang-che Wu for immense help
381     in tracking this down.
382     - manpages (but not .txt and .html versions) will be patched (during
383     make install) with the correct program name and other info.

390 root 1.430 - WARNING: TERM=rxvt-unicode is now *default* unless compiled
391     differently. A terminfo entry will automatically be compiled and
392     installed if tic is available.
393     - fixed some --disable switches that didn't work.
394     - tweaked src/features.h a bit.
395     - removed README.unicode.
396     - support select&paste of tab characters.
397     - fixed a segfault when trying to load nonexistant fonts (reported
398     by Eduard Bloch and Mikael Magnusson).
399     - fixed a long-standing rxvt bug in which rxvt failed to save
400     and restore the correct cursor position on the secondary screen.
401     - reworked rxvt-unicode terminfo to allow more efficient and less flickering
402     screen updates with curses.
403     - wide characters that are being halfway overwritten are now replaced
404     by spaces.
405     - urxvtc now transmits urxvt as default name, not urxvtc anymore
406     (likewise for other names chosen at configure time).
407     - disabled the automatic font lookup for unknown characters. xft
408     is just too slow for this to work.
409     - changed realbold code, implemented _real_ bold and italic support,
410     where _real_ means the symbiosis of what I want with what I can
411     implement. use --enable-styles.
412     - removed 256 color mode, but enable 88 colours in all modes
413     (88 to be compatible with 88 colour xterm which is widely
414     supported, and most programs assume a non-iso colourtable
415     for terminals with "odd" number of colours).
416     - added doc/etc/rxvt-unicode.terminfo which is a big overhaul
417     compared to the old rxvt terminfo.
418 root 1.236 - sped up xft rendering by 30% *iff* the font allows it (i.e. is
419 root 1.430 monospaced "enough") *and* matches the base font in width.
420     - implement positive and negative character-font caching, which
421     speeds up output immensely in case a character cannot be found
422     (only for non-bold right now).
423     - fix segfault in fading code on certain escape sequences.
424     - better default font size and style.
425     - rxvt-unicode is now much more picky about fonts not fitting
426     into the base font, but to offset this it will check each
427     single character against the base font extents and will only
428     use the characters fitting into the bounding box (+ some fudge).
429     - characters not fitting into the base boundary box will now often
430     be used anyways, but the following characters will be redrawn
431     more often to avoid pixel-droppings. This is like the original
432     rxvt pixel-dropping pass but it's much faster.
433     - scrollColor now affects plain scrollbar (Mikael Magnusson).
434     - fixed segfault in overlay code when height was larger than the
435     screen height.
436     - cursor no longer shines "through" the overlay.
437     - 7-bit ST marker detection was broken.
438     - scrollbar didn't come back sometimes when switching it
439     off/on using escape sequences (Mikael Magnusson).
440     - fix lots of colour problems with focus fading.
441     - $COLORFGBG was not set as documented.
442     - fix iso 14755 5.1 support when --enable-frills but --disable-iso14755.
443     - removed OSC 702.
444     - disabled MOUSE_REPORT_DOUBLECLICK by default, as programs seem to be
445     confused by it rather than using it.

448     - new configure option --enable-iso14755.
449 root 1.430 - full iso 14755 conformance (at least I claim so :).
450     - extended the FAQ section in the manpage.
451 root 1.194 - fix OverTheSpot and OffTheSpot editing, which was broken since ages,
452 root 1.430 due to no fontset being available. The fontset used is a very rough
453     approximation to the rxvt font, though. This fixes the
454     "cannot create input context" in most cases.
455     - fix coordinates used for Over && OffTheSpot editing to fit directly
456     at the cursor (Over) or into the top line (Off).
457     - reset SIGHUP and SIGPIPE handlers to default values (they were
458     previously being ignored, causing programs not to exit on windoe
459     close).
460     - implemented simple overlays for feedback messages. believe it or
461     not, this was a major blocker in implementing tabbed terminals.
462     - fix compiling with --disable-frills (Adam Sampson).
463     - clarify bold docs in README.unicode (Adam Sampson).
464 root 1.194 - fix crash on window close when the input method or context
465 root 1.430 could not be created.
466     - add work around for badly written programs (see debian bug
467     #202497). This is _not_ a bug in rxvt but rather a race
468     condition in other programs (e.g. jed). It works by forcefully
469     sending SIGWINCH when rxvt sees the first output from the
470     command. This workaround isn't perfect (a slight cost to
471     wellbehaving programs who need to resize twice), but it usually
472     works.
473 root 1.194 - set correct pixel size in struct winsize.
474 root 1.430 - document more escape sequences.
475     - fix leftover macros and a few minor doc glitches in rxvt(1).
476     - work around bash's assumption that stepping into the middle of a
477     character is a sensible operation.
478     - fix some corner cases in autowrap handling.
479     - remove various useless make cruft, renamed files to better
480     reflect on their function, renamed many variables.
481     - fixed printscreen functionality, as noted by Jinesh Choksi.
482     - fix a problem where redraws of double-width characters sometimes
483     made the last character draw with normal width (especially visible
484     with selections).

487 root 1.430 - SECURITY FIX: rxvtd kept open filehandles to other terminal
488     windows when spawning children. Actual risk is low (attacker
489     needs access to a local shell window).
490     - implemented parts 5.1 and 5.2 of ISO 14755 (i.e. hold down
491     Ctrl+Shift and enter hex numbers. space commits it as a unicode
492     character, or press and release Crl+Shift and then enter a
493     function key to get it's picture). patches for 5.3 (or 5.4 with
494     a little window or so) would be welcome.
495     - fixed large pastes (INCR selections, debian bug #191456).
496     - fixed longstanding bug in which rxvtd crashed when
497     a message was logged after startup (a rare case).
498     - got rid of yodl completely by converting to pod.
499     - integrated the FAQ into the manpage. In the future, more will be
500     added there.
501     - reference documentation is now installed as rxvt(7).
502     - rxvt(7) now contains README.configure, which is autogenerated.
503 root 1.168 - fix memory leak in insecure mode on certain display echos.
504 root 1.430 - report sequences now report empty strings in secure mode
505     instead of being ignored.
506     - enable some report sequences even in secure mode, such as colour
507     queries, as they are harmless(tm).
508     - rxvt-unicode will now try to find a matching xft font if it can't
509     find a matching font from the fallback list. It might look ugly,
510     but if a xft font with our character exists, rxvt will find it.
511     - moved FreeMono to the very back of the fallback list, as some
512     people complain it looks ugly. This is a no-win situation, though.
513     - fixed sourceforge bug 998970, reported against aterm:
514     "crash on -sl 0 on super small windows".
515     - decreased memory and code size when !--enable-transparency.
516     - SYNCCVS. backported changes done to rxvt, except for Color_ufbg,
517     which I think is better done through fading, and libW11, which
518     needs testing anyways.
519     - more complete compile options help output.
520     - Provide linear scaled colour cubes for 256 colour mode.
521     Pass them through as rgbi rather than rgb so that Xlib can
522     provide gamma (from per visual intensity lists) rather than
523     providing constant gamma ourselves. Noticed by and ideas from

755     - fix and re-enable background pixmap and inherit pixmap support.
756     - re-enabled multiple scrollbar support.
757     - added plain scrollbar style and restored xterm scrollbar.
758     - blinking and selections work slightly better now.
759     - fix an error condition when rxvt receives more than one screenful
760     of output. should occur with original rxvt, too, but very rarely.
761     (I guess the code contains more surprises of this sort...)
