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

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

649     for windows not requesting XIM. Please report if this change
650     causes any harm (specially with pointerblanking)

652     - send the input method spot position on every refresh, not just

654     - fix double-wide combining characters (it might look a bit ugly,
655     though, but common cases are handled by normalization anyways).
656     - moved FAQ to rxvt(7), also made a copy into README.FAQ.
657     - fix a bug(?) in the XIM destroy callback.
658     - be more conservative when trying to register new input methods,
659     as Xlib races might make rxvt crash. When two or more
660     input methods are active, killing one probably still crashes rxvt
661     due to that bug :( Thanks a lot to Kuang-che Wu for immense help

682     - reworked rxvt-unicode terminfo to allow more efficient and less flickering
683     screen updates with curses.
684     - wide characters that are being halfway overwritten are now replaced
685     by spaces.
686     - urxvtc now transmits urxvt as default name, not urxvtc anymore
687     (likewise for other names chosen at configure time).
688     - disabled the automatic font lookup for unknown characters. xft
689     is just too slow for this to work.
690     - changed realbold code, implemented _real_ bold and italic support,
691     where _real_ means the symbiosis of what I want with what I can

693     - removed 256 color mode, but enable 88 colours in all modes
694     (88 to be compatible with 88 colour xterm which is widely
695     supported, and most programs assume a non-iso colourtable
696     for terminals with "odd" number of colours).

702     speeds up output immensely in case a character cannot be found
703     (only for non-bold right now).
704     - fix segfault in fading code on certain escape sequences.
705     - better default font size and style.
706     - rxvt-unicode is now much more picky about fonts not fitting
707     into the base font, but to offset this it will check each
708     single character against the base font extents and will only
709     use the characters fitting into the bounding box (+ some fudge).
710     - characters not fitting into the base boundary box will now often
711     be used anyways, but the following characters will be redrawn
712     more often to avoid pixel-droppings. This is like the original
713     rxvt pixel-dropping pass but it's much faster.
714     - scrollColor now affects plain scrollbar (Mikael Magnusson).
715     - fixed segfault in overlay code when height was larger than the
716     screen height.
717     - cursor no longer shines "through" the overlay.

719     - scrollbar didn't come back sometimes when switching it
720     off/on using escape sequences (Mikael Magnusson).
721     - fix lots of colour problems with focus fading.

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

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

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