20 root 1.563 DUMB: support tex fonts
21 root 1.346
22 root 1.667 TODO: zero scorllback buffer should free memory
23     TODO: kuake
24 root 1.671 TODO: depth resource not working(?)
25 root 1.672 TODO: fix the flaw in the url regex jost pointed out
26     TODO: look into the selection hilight patch
27 root 1.661 - add FORCE_UNBUFFERED_XFT define to features.h.
28 root 1.668 - double-buffered xft drawing did suffer from pixel offset issues
29     when pixmap transparency was enabled.
30 root 1.662 - moved on_osc_seq to on_osc_seq_perl and added a more
31     generic osc_seq.
32 root 1.664 - fix a bug causing double callback invocations when perl hooks
33     were invoked recursively.
34 root 1.665 - the automove-background extension now properly works when the
35     pixmap gets reset with an osc sequence (sqweek).
36 root 1.667 - selection-pastebin did not work properly with non-latin1-characters.
37 root 1.670 - removed rxvtlib.h from the tarballe, it had no reason to be there
38     (spotted by Decklin Foster).
39     - fix compiling with TRANSPARENT but !XPM_BACKGROUND, as reported
40     by omatunto_.
41 root 1.671 - slap in a using namespace std, might help on platforms that don't
42     follow C++ closely enough.
43 root 1.661
44 root 1.658 7.7 Tue Feb 21 12:32:49 CET 2006
45 root 1.653 - use double-buffered drawing (xft fonts only). On many driver/hardware
46 root 1.649 combination this actually increases xft drawing speed, at the expense
47     of more network bandwidth and slight nausea on the side of the author.
48 root 1.646 - readline perl extension now requires shift-click instead of a normal
49 root 1.657 click, and eats the click.
50 root 1.656 - tabbed perl extension now supports -e.
51 root 1.649 - disabled graphics-exposures on the main drawing GC, report any
52     refresh bugs please.
53 root 1.646 - improve property handling for -pe tabbed: avoid unnecessary property
54 root 1.645 changes (for kde's benefit) at the expense of extra round-trips,
55     improve size hint setting.
56 root 1.646 - modified XIM according to a patch sent by Takano Akio that sets
57     the preedit rectangle for OverTheSpot, which helps some input methods
58     to correctly position their preedit window.
59 root 1.647 - un-optimise the line clearing on newly scrolled-in lines a bit: the
60     former reasoning was that any fg colour on default bg looks the same
61 root 1.666 in empty spaces, but thats not true when reversing (e.g. selection),
62 root 1.647 so also check for matching fg colours. This fixes the problem where
63     selecting newly scrolled-in lines would exhibit wrong colours.
64 root 1.655 - fix a bug in the perl interface causing focus in events to generate
65     focus out perl events, causing bad focus effects with -pe tabbed.
66 root 1.648 - fix a race resulting in a crash on exiting.
67 root 1.651 - fix a with --disable-xft that caused xfreecolors to be called on
68 root 1.652 colors never allocated, resulting in aborts (reported by Paco-Paco).
69     - resources on non-initial screens weren't refetched correctly
70     (reported by Paco-Paco).
71 root 1.650 - fix a bug in xcopyarea pass and _disable_ it, as it seems not to be
72     working in either rxvt-unicode nor in the original rxvt.
73 root 1.656 - removed undocumented -exec alias for the -e option.
74 root 1.645
75 root 1.644 7.6 Fri Feb 10 08:52:36 CET 2006
76 root 1.619 - changed interpretation of [alpha] colour prefix.
77 root 1.620 - +option now really sets the option to default, instead of using the
78     resource value.
79 root 1.627 - options that require an argument now really _require_ an argument.
80 root 1.634 - the tabbed extension now forwards focus and keys events to th
81     relevant tab window.
82     - tab colours are now configurable and have sensible defaults
83     (initial patch by hednod).
84 root 1.639 - option menu is extendable, readline, selection and
85     selection-autotransform can now be disabled/enabled at runtime.
86 root 1.638 - forcing a configure event to tabbed subwindows with -pe tabbed, for
87     the benefit of automove-background.
88 root 1.635 - the automove-background extension added a wrong constant offset.
89 root 1.628 - force refresh of XA_RESOURCE_STRING on virtual reconnect.
90 root 1.627 - return exit status 2 in urxvtc when urxvtd couldn't be contacted.
91 root 1.622 - the linux yield hack is back, now using usleep, and enabled only on
92     __linux__.
93 root 1.619 - further round trip eliminations in the !XFT case by remembering
94     the colour components.
95 root 1.620 - plain scrollbar works better with -sr.
96     - fixed half-shadow scrollbar look.
97 root 1.625 - more colour rtt optimisations.
98     - properly(?) free colours on window close.
99 root 1.621 - reorganised the FAQ into multiple sections.
100 root 1.633 - add ISO646.1991-IRV to the list of supported codesets.
101 root 1.643 - minor libptytty update.
102 root 1.617
103 root 1.618 7.5 Tue Jan 31 15:15:43 CET 2006
104 root 1.610 - further improvements to the careful mode detection, and font width
105 root 1.609 detection:
106     - fully double-wide fonts will now be correctly treated,
107     - overlap detection was improved.
108     - detect totally broken fonts (usually synthesized by xft).
109     - careful mode forced refresh sometimes clashed with blinking,
110     causing unnecessary screen redraws.
111     - better handling of XFT combining characters.
112     - enable antialiasing for some replacement fonts, as they
113     might get used for other encodings which really need it, later.
114     - remove spacing=100 from all default fonts, as this creates totally
115     weird spacing (5 times normal) with xft.
116 root 1.610 - removed iso10646 fallback, as xorgs iso10646 encoded fonts are mostly
117     broken.
118     - removed gnu unifont fallback, all combining characters are broken.
119 root 1.608 - replace named colours by xorg's rgb.txt equivalents, to
120     reduce round trip time on startup, and short-cut allocation
121 root 1.611 of rgb:rr/gg/bb for xft.
122 root 1.615 - short-cut allocation of rgb values in the xlib case
123 root 1.611 (patch by Paco-Paco).
124 root 1.610 - overhauled color management: smaller codesize, alpha support.
125 root 1.614 - support "rgba:rrrr/gggg/bbbb/aaaa" color specifications and
126     an "[alpha]" prefix.
127 root 1.610 - try to work around Xft and Xrender forcing everything to be 100%
128     transparent. Long Live Xft!
129     - do not include X11/Intrinsic.h anymore, directly use
130     Xlib/Xutil/Xresource directly.
131 root 1.612 - try to find a nearest matching color when color allocation fails
132     on a pseudocolor screen.
133 root 1.610 - SYNCCVS: compared to rxvt-cvs 2006-01-28, no relevant changes.
134     - fix version report (DA) (which was unfortunately broken).
135     - changed version number report again, now to emulate xterm closer.
136     - added the OSC sequence 702 to detect the urxvt version number.
137     - small configure updates.
138 root 1.608 - further RTT optimisations.
139 root 1.598
140 root 1.597 7.4 Sat Jan 28 15:26:27 CET 2006
141 root 1.596 - screen background wasn't always erased properly when scrolling,
142     - re-enabled clearing optimisation disabled in 7.4pre.
143 root 1.597 - small configure updates for libptytty.
144     - fixed version options: line output.
145     - removed stoopid debugging message left in the code.
146 root 1.593
147 root 1.591 7.3 Wed Jan 25 22:47:35 CET 2006
148 root 1.575 - don't let iso14755 or mouse reporting get into the way of perl
149     (could lead to global grabs never being cleared).
150 root 1.579 - experimental OnTheSpot editing support (-pe xim-onthespot).
151 root 1.576 - moved Shift-Button2 paste combination to Meta-Button2.
152 root 1.582 - the cutchars resource will now be respected and used by the
153     selection extension.
154 root 1.586 - added the "remote-clipboard" extension which just runs external
155 root 1.584 commands to fetch and store the selection data.
156 root 1.589 - added -depth switch that tries to get a different visual depth
157     than the default (replaces the old PREFER_24_BIT logic).
158 root 1.573 - removed (unused) arabic presentation form composing sequences.
159 root 1.582 - be more strict when deciding that a core font glyph is too wide and
160     needs the careful rendering mode.
161     - allow more leeway for italic fonts when deciding that a character is
162     too wide and needs careful mode.
163 root 1.589 - redraw even more characters around characters using careful mode.
164 root 1.588 - made selection-pastebin fully asynchronous.
165 root 1.580 - reduced number of server turnarounds at startup by allocating
166     atoms only once per display.
167 root 1.586 - renamed on_keyboard_command to on_user_command.
168 root 1.578 - changed version sos (ESC [ > c) response to be more compatible with
169     xterm.
170 root 1.570
171 root 1.568 7.2 Sun Jan 22 21:58:16 CET 2006
172 root 1.563 - bugfix: urxvt (not urxvtd) did not correctly handle multiple
173     environments necessary, which resulted in segfaults within
174     getenv (reproducable: urxvt -fn 9x15, open a menu once,
175     ctrl-shift-672c).
176 root 1.560 - bugfix: the selection speedup in in 7.1 unfortunately caused
177 root 1.559 non-ascii characters to enlarge/move the selection.
178 root 1.567 - bugfix: resizing sometimes leaked lines from the secondary to
179     the primary screen.
180 root 1.568 - bugfix: reducing window size while large amounts of text were output
181     could lead to an assertion failure.
182 root 1.553 - added "tabbed" extension that provides a crude tabbed terminal.
183 root 1.554 - added "readline" extension that allows cursor positioning
184     via mouse clicks.
185 root 1.556 - now it is possible to insert the value of the CLIPBOARD selection
186 root 1.565 with shift - mouse button 2.
187 root 1.553 - fixed the automove-background extension to ignore coordinates
188     in non-synthetic events.
189 root 1.561 - created a separate libpty for portable and secure
190 root 1.565 pty/tty/utmp/wtmp/lastlog handling, and include it in rxvt-unicode.
191     - the non-terminfo visual bell now works asynchronously, so
192 root 1.563 continuous ASCI BELs in one terminal do no longer monopolise the
193     whole urxvt[d] process.
194     - support some *BSD makes (for the time being, gnu make is a safe bet).
195     - work around bugs in FreeBSD's gcc.
196     - implemented some *BSD fixes in configure.
197 root 1.556 - removed support for obsolete offix dnd protocol.
198 root 1.552
199 root 1.551 7.1 Thu Jan 19 20:25:34 CET 2006
200 root 1.542 - setuid/setgid operation is now _encouraged_: security has been
201     improved by moving privileged operations into a separate process
202     and permanently dropping privileges within the terminal. This
203     makes it possible to remove security checks from the perl code
204     and gives a much safer feeling when urxvt needs to run with
205     special privileges.
206     - perl taint checking disabled, as urxvt no longer runs setuid/setgid
207     itself.
208 root 1.543 - new perl extension automove-background that can be used to get
209     the same effect as pseudo-transparency with any pixmap.
210     - new perl extension example: perl/selection-pastebin, can be used to
211 root 1.542 e.g. upload the selection to a webserver and generate a url, or
212     similar stuff.
213 root 1.521 - use the scrollback buffer even when the scroll region doesn't
214 root 1.542 span the whole screen, as long as it starts at row 0. Helps
215     for programs displaying a status line at the bottom.
216 root 1.521 - selection popup now shows selection in dec/hex/oct.
217     - perl/selection: matching on unicode characters in the selection
218     code was O(n²), which equals infinity in some degenerate cases
219     :-> Matching is now done on UTF-8, which makes it almost instant.
220     - perl/selection, perl/selection-autotransform: regexes are now
221     being interpreted in the locale urxvt was started.
222 root 1.545 - implemented override-redirect option and enabled it on menus,
223     as kwin puts our windows behind the terminal (what a shoddy wm).
224 root 1.542 - fixed struct utmp check in configure for OpenBSD.
225 root 1.532 - complete overhaul of the pty/utmp management stuff and configure
226     (Emanuele Giaquinta).
227 root 1.542 - add tsl/fsl and related capabilities to the terminfo description,
228     to set the window title.
229     - swap the environment in some more cases. This hopefully fixes
230     some segfaults that might be caused by xft asking for env variables
231     at the wrong time.
232 root 1.530 - removed src/strings.C and src/menubar.C. No menubar support
233     anymore.
234 root 1.535 - removed all traces of SMOOTH_REFRESH.
235 root 1.531 - nuked QNX support.
236 root 1.544 - made some fixes to xpm offset and scaling code.
237 root 1.542 - perl-overlays and refresh hooks were not applied in correct order.
238     - changed coordinate-system of view_start/nsaved to be top to bottom.
239 root 1.547 - iom extended to support listening for child exits.
240 root 1.518
241 root 1.517 7.0 Fri Jan 13 14:02:18 CET 2006
242 root 1.500 - added sections for DISTRIBUTION MAINTAINERS and about
243 root 1.501 SETUID/SETGID to the FAQ.
244 root 1.503 - selection, searchable-scrollback, selection-popup and
245     option-popup extensions enabled by default.
246 root 1.502 - increased xft drawing speed for problematic fonts. The effect
247     will likely be small as 99% of the xft slowness is server-related.
248 root 1.499 - perl: much increased functionality, better overlays, popup support
249     and much much more.
250 root 1.493 - perl: urxvt::line now can set via ->t and ->r.
251 root 1.495 - perl: changed interpretation of --perl-ext-common and -pe.
252 root 1.496 - perl: finally implemented --perl-eval.
253 root 1.499 - perl: non-blocking anyevent support.
254     - perl: run tainted and ignore perl-eval/perl-lib if started
255 root 1.498 setuid/setgid.
256 root 1.499 - free the resource database: this plugs a massive memory leak. As a
257 root 1.497 side effect, it also gets rid of XGetDefault calls.
258 root 1.499 - free one of the cursors, fixes a small memory leak.
259 root 1.503 - built-in (as opposed to terminfos) visual bell was broken/too fast.
260 root 1.504 - applied minor cleanups by Ladislav Michnovic.
261 root 1.514 - applied pty handling cleanups and improvements (Emanuele Giaquinta).
262 root 1.505 - mark-urls launch-on-click by jepler.
263 root 1.506 - removed "small" resource parsing function, as it wasn't really
264     compatible, and not really small either.
265     - removed PATH_ENV and PATH file search support.
266     - removed support for locale-specific app-defaults file.
267 root 1.510 - fixed a bug where out-of-bounds colour sequences could lead
268     to crashes.
269 root 1.511 - limit colour changing to the standard 88 palette instead of all
270     colours.
271 root 1.510 - XTerm_Color01 sequence returned wrong results in query mode.
272 root 1.513 - iom.C now checks against destructed io_manager when unregistering.
273 root 1.493
274 root 1.491 6.3 Wed Jan 4 22:37:10 CET 2006
275 root 1.484 - SECURITY FIX: on systems using openpty, permissions were
276     not correctly updated on the tty device and were left as
277     world-readable and world-writable (likely in original rxvt,
278 root 1.489 too), and were not restored properly. Affected are only
279     systems where non-unix ptys were used (such as most BSDs, not
280     GNU/Linux). (found, patched and debugged by Ryan Beasley).
281 root 1.481 - meta8 support was forcefully enabled in most configurations.
282     restored configurability of this (useless) feature (reported
283 root 1.488 by Mikachu).
284 root 1.477 - optionally embed a perl interpreter, which can be used for more
285     intelligent/customized selection support, visual feedback,
286 root 1.478 menus, tabs etc. See the the urxvtperl manpage, the -pe option,
287 root 1.481 perl*-resources and keysym resources. Not everything is there yet.
288 root 1.486 - try to be more clever about differing font sizes and their ascent.
289 root 1.488 Not guarenteed to work, but works better in most cases now.
290 root 1.475 - fix directory permissions on install.
291 root 1.490 - implemented option to disable built-in line drawing characters
292 root 1.488 and fall back to the font ones (patch by Martin Pohlack).
293 root 1.487 - disabled sched_yield support: the linux version is just too useless
294     (it schedules nice'd processes before the own one for extended
295     periods). Too bad, it could reduce system time by a factor of 5 here.
296 root 1.474
297 root 1.473 6.2 Mon Jan 2 16:03:01 CET 2006
298 root 1.465 - implemented intensityStyles option which enables/disables bold/blink
299     selecting high intensity foreground/background colours, suggested by
300     Chuck Blake.
301 root 1.466 - move iso14755 character feedback box out of the way if it would
302     obscure the mouse cursor position.
303 root 1.463 - replaced callback.h by a fixed version from gvpe that correctly
304 root 1.464 returns the callback result (affects new -pty-fd semantics in urxvtc
305     on a few architectures). Reported by darix.
306 root 1.469 - include one trailing space in rectangular selections to indicate
307     the inserted newline (yeah, weird, but visually more pleasing).
308 root 1.472 - try to use sched_yield to (drastically) improve terminal data
309     transfer efficiency.
310 root 1.467 - further minor cleanups.
311 root 1.463
312 root 1.461 6.1 Tue Dec 27 13:23:40 CET 2005
313 root 1.454 - update iso8859-7 table (euro and drachma round-trip et al.).
314 root 1.452 - fix a crash when the selection scrolls out of the scrollback
315     while the user still drags.
316 root 1.453 - selections that were partially scrolled out of the window were
317     not drawn correctly.
318 root 1.455 - lines newly scrolled in were not initialized properly, leading
319     to extremely long lines and (hopefully) some segfaults.
320 root 1.457 - iso14755 overlay position was wrong.
321     - iso14755 overlay now displays rendition info, too.
322 root 1.459 - use unicode white space class instead of hardcoded values for
323     stripping whitespace.
324 root 1.458 - do whitespace stripping on rectangular selections.
325 root 1.460 - slight cleanups in src/features.h.
326 root 1.452
327 root 1.449 6.0 Sat Dec 24 13:58:56 CET 2005
328 root 1.437 - make it compile without SMART_RESIZE again.
329 root 1.439 - enable slow link support by default.
330 root 1.441 - fix relative cursor-positioning not respecting scrolling regions
331     (also a bug in original rxvt).
332 root 1.442 - initialize termios structure to zero when fetching it fails
333     (see http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=84647 for a
334     partial patch).
335     - bump max columns/rows to 10000 each.
336     - bump max savelines to 10000000.
337 root 1.447 - -pty-fd now passes the urxvtc fd to the urxvtd process.
338 root 1.448 - avoid linking against -lnsl/-lsocket/-lxpg4 unless neccessary.
339 root 1.441 - major code cleanup (still not complete, though).
340 root 1.445 - implement -hold option.
341 root 1.441 - _major_ rewrite of internal buffer handling:
342 root 1.443 - re-flow on resize, lines get wrapped instead of winged.
343 root 1.440 - circular line buffer (substantially speeds up scrolling).
344     - slightly less code + data memory usage per terminal.
345     - slight overall speed improvements.
346     - considerably improved code clarity.
347 root 1.439 - partial-screen scrolls no longer end up in the scrollback
348     buffer.
349 root 1.437
350 root 1.436 5.9 Sat Dec 17 21:53:17 CET 2005
351 root 1.432 - fix a bug in the menu code of unknown impact, found by darix.
352     - clean up signal handling to be global, not per terminal
353     (matters only for rxvtd).
354 root 1.434 - fix small typoe in rxvt.1 (found by Mike Fabian).
355 root 1.433 - don't crash when broken xft/fontconfig/freetype versions return

389     Reported by Jasmin Buchert.
390     - font names are now considered to be utf-8 encoded (xft apperently
391     uses this convention. X Core fonts might not, but it should be rare).
392     Affects display in iso14755 box.
393     - rewrote the low-level xft drawing function ("xft backend" for the
394     hipper parts of the world) to hopefully cope better with proportional
395     chars mixed with fixed-width ones.
396     - rxvt is now much more careful (read: slower) with potentially
397     overlapping xft characters. It usually overshoots and redraws
398     more than required, but that's better than undershooting and
399     cutting pieces off of characters.
400     - rxvt is now more restrictive in what font heights it accepts for
401     fonts that will likely overshoot or undershoot lines.
402     - fix a cosmetic problem with the unfocused cursor on a wide character
403     at the end of the line (reported by Mikachu).

527     - don't crash when the saved cursor position doesn't fit on the

593     - as xlib is completely broken with respect to utf-8 handling
594     and nobody is going to fix it, that part has been re-implemented.
595     should fix most paste problems between apps that use UTF8 encoding
596     and rxvt running in a lesser-supported locale (thanks to Robin Redeker

647     for windows not requesting XIM. Please report if this change
648     causes any harm (specially with pointerblanking)
649     (patch by Kuang-che Wu).
650     - send the input method spot position on every refresh, not just
651     when rxvt thinks it should (which was not often enough...).
652     - fix double-wide combining characters (it might look a bit ugly,
653     though, but common cases are handled by normalization anyways).
654     - moved FAQ to rxvt(7), also made a copy into README.FAQ.
655     - fix a bug(?) in the XIM destroy callback.
656     - be more conservative when trying to register new input methods,
657     as Xlib races might make rxvt crash. When two or more
658     input methods are active, killing one probably still crashes rxvt
659     due to that bug :( Thanks a lot to Kuang-che Wu for immense help

678     - fixed a long-standing rxvt bug in which rxvt failed to save
679     and restore the correct cursor position on the secondary screen.
680     - reworked rxvt-unicode terminfo to allow more efficient and less flickering
681     screen updates with curses.
682     - wide characters that are being halfway overwritten are now replaced
683     by spaces.
684     - urxvtc now transmits urxvt as default name, not urxvtc anymore
685     (likewise for other names chosen at configure time).
686     - disabled the automatic font lookup for unknown characters. xft
687     is just too slow for this to work.
688     - changed realbold code, implemented _real_ bold and italic support,
689     where _real_ means the symbiosis of what I want with what I can
690     implement. use --enable-styles.
691     - removed 256 color mode, but enable 88 colours in all modes
692     (88 to be compatible with 88 colour xterm which is widely
693     supported, and most programs assume a non-iso colourtable
694     for terminals with "odd" number of colours).
695     - added doc/etc/rxvt-unicode.terminfo which is a big overhaul

699     - implement positive and negative character-font caching, which
700     speeds up output immensely in case a character cannot be found
701     (only for non-bold right now).
702     - fix segfault in fading code on certain escape sequences.
703     - better default font size and style.
704     - rxvt-unicode is now much more picky about fonts not fitting
705     into the base font, but to offset this it will check each
706     single character against the base font extents and will only
707     use the characters fitting into the bounding box (+ some fudge).
708     - characters not fitting into the base boundary box will now often
709     be used anyways, but the following characters will be redrawn
710     more often to avoid pixel-droppings. This is like the original
711     rxvt pixel-dropping pass but it's much faster.
712     - scrollColor now affects plain scrollbar (Mikael Magnusson).
713     - fixed segfault in overlay code when height was larger than the
714     screen height.
715     - cursor no longer shines "through" the overlay.
716     - 7-bit ST marker detection was broken.
717     - scrollbar didn't come back sometimes when switching it
718     off/on using escape sequences (Mikael Magnusson).
719     - fix lots of colour problems with focus fading.
720     - $COLORFGBG was not set as documented.

734     - fix coordinates used for Over && OffTheSpot editing to fit directly
735     at the cursor (Over) or into the top line (Off).
736     - reset SIGHUP and SIGPIPE handlers to default values (they were
737     previously being ignored, causing programs not to exit on windoe
738     close).
739     - implemented simple overlays for feedback messages. believe it or
740     not, this was a major blocker in implementing tabbed terminals.
741     - fix compiling with --disable-frills (Adam Sampson).
742     - clarify bold docs in README.unicode (Adam Sampson).
743 root 1.194 - fix crash on window close when the input method or context
744 root 1.430 could not be created.
745     - add work around for badly written programs (see debian bug
746     #202497). This is _not_ a bug in rxvt but rather a race
747     condition in other programs (e.g. jed). It works by forcefully
748     sending SIGWINCH when rxvt sees the first output from the
749     command. This workaround isn't perfect (a slight cost to
750     wellbehaving programs who need to resize twice), but it usually
751     works.
752 root 1.194 - set correct pixel size in struct winsize.
753 root 1.430 - document more escape sequences.
754     - fix leftover macros and a few minor doc glitches in rxvt(1).
755     - work around bash's assumption that stepping into the middle of a
756     character is a sensible operation.
757     - fix some corner cases in autowrap handling.
758     - remove various useless make cruft, renamed files to better
759     reflect on their function, renamed many variables.
760     - fixed printscreen functionality, as noted by Jinesh Choksi.
761     - fix a problem where redraws of double-width characters sometimes
762     made the last character draw with normal width (especially visible
763     with selections).

766 root 1.430 - SECURITY FIX: rxvtd kept open filehandles to other terminal
767     windows when spawning children. Actual risk is low (attacker
768     needs access to a local shell window).
769     - implemented parts 5.1 and 5.2 of ISO 14755 (i.e. hold down
770     Ctrl+Shift and enter hex numbers. space commits it as a unicode
771     character, or press and release Crl+Shift and then enter a
772     function key to get it's picture). patches for 5.3 (or 5.4 with
773     a little window or so) would be welcome.
774     - fixed large pastes (INCR selections, debian bug #191456).
775     - fixed longstanding bug in which rxvtd crashed when
776     a message was logged after startup (a rare case).
777     - got rid of yodl completely by converting to pod.
778     - integrated the FAQ into the manpage. In the future, more will be
779     added there.
780     - reference documentation is now installed as rxvt(7).
781     - rxvt(7) now contains README.configure, which is autogenerated.
782 root 1.168 - fix memory leak in insecure mode on certain display echos.
783 root 1.430 - report sequences now report empty strings in secure mode
784     instead of being ignored.
785     - enable some report sequences even in secure mode, such as colour
786     queries, as they are harmless(tm).
787     - rxvt-unicode will now try to find a matching xft font if it can't
788     find a matching font from the fallback list. It might look ugly,
789     but if a xft font with our character exists, rxvt will find it.
790     - moved FreeMono to the very back of the fallback list, as some
791     people complain it looks ugly. This is a no-win situation, though.
792     - fixed sourceforge bug 998970, reported against aterm:
793     "crash on -sl 0 on super small windows".
794     - decreased memory and code size when !--enable-transparency.
795     - SYNCCVS. backported changes done to rxvt, except for Color_ufbg,
796     which I think is better done through fading, and libW11, which
797     needs testing anyways.
798     - more complete compile options help output.
799     - Provide linear scaled colour cubes for 256 colour mode.
800     Pass them through as rgbi rather than rgb so that Xlib can
801     provide gamma (from per visual intensity lists) rather than
802     providing constant gamma ourselves. Noticed by and ideas from
803     Christopher Casey <realchriscasey@hotmail.com>

911     - enable colour tinting of "transparent" backgrounds.
912     - stop ST sequences earlier, as we now react on 0x90 and thus
913     cause conditions more often that look like locks but are, in
914     fact, just rxvt waiting for a ST/BEL etc.
915     - re-enabled most of the "dangerous" echo escapes, but only
