21 root 1.346
22 root 1.675 TODO: rxvt -bg "#262626" -fn "xft:Andale Mono:pixelsize=15"

25     TODO: kuake
26 root 1.671 TODO: depth resource not working(?)
27 root 1.672 TODO: fix the flaw in the url regex jost pointed out
28     TODO: look into the selection hilight patch
29 root 1.674 TODO: implement smartcase-like search in searchable-scrollback
30 root 1.675 TODO: check wether -depth works as resource
31 root 1.661 - add FORCE_UNBUFFERED_XFT define to features.h.
32 root 1.668 - double-buffered xft drawing did suffer from pixel offset issues
33     when pixmap transparency was enabled.
34 root 1.662 - moved on_osc_seq to on_osc_seq_perl and added a more
35     generic osc_seq.
36 root 1.664 - fix a bug causing double callback invocations when perl hooks
37     were invoked recursively.
38 root 1.665 - the automove-background extension now properly works when the
39     pixmap gets reset with an osc sequence (sqweek).
40 root 1.667 - selection-pastebin did not work properly with non-latin1-characters.
41 root 1.673 - apply colorUL only when the text colour is the default fg
42     (patch by Wu Fengguang).
43     - removed rxvtlib.h from the tarball, it had no reason to be there
44 root 1.670 (spotted by Decklin Foster).
45     - fix compiling with TRANSPARENT but !XPM_BACKGROUND, as reported
46     by omatunto_.
47 root 1.671 - slap in a using namespace std, might help on platforms that don't
48     follow C++ closely enough.
49 root 1.676 - fix mailto url regex, spotted within milliseconds by Jost Krieger.
50 root 1.661
51 root 1.658 7.7 Tue Feb 21 12:32:49 CET 2006
52 root 1.653 - use double-buffered drawing (xft fonts only). On many driver/hardware
53 root 1.649 combination this actually increases xft drawing speed, at the expense
54     of more network bandwidth and slight nausea on the side of the author.
55 root 1.646 - readline perl extension now requires shift-click instead of a normal
56 root 1.657 click, and eats the click.
57 root 1.656 - tabbed perl extension now supports -e.
58 root 1.649 - disabled graphics-exposures on the main drawing GC, report any
59     refresh bugs please.
60 root 1.646 - improve property handling for -pe tabbed: avoid unnecessary property
61 root 1.645 changes (for kde's benefit) at the expense of extra round-trips,
62     improve size hint setting.
63 root 1.646 - modified XIM according to a patch sent by Takano Akio that sets
64     the preedit rectangle for OverTheSpot, which helps some input methods
65     to correctly position their preedit window.
66 root 1.647 - un-optimise the line clearing on newly scrolled-in lines a bit: the
67     former reasoning was that any fg colour on default bg looks the same
68 root 1.666 in empty spaces, but thats not true when reversing (e.g. selection),
69 root 1.647 so also check for matching fg colours. This fixes the problem where
70     selecting newly scrolled-in lines would exhibit wrong colours.
71 root 1.655 - fix a bug in the perl interface causing focus in events to generate
72     focus out perl events, causing bad focus effects with -pe tabbed.
73 root 1.648 - fix a race resulting in a crash on exiting.
74 root 1.651 - fix a with --disable-xft that caused xfreecolors to be called on
75 root 1.652 colors never allocated, resulting in aborts (reported by Paco-Paco).
76     - resources on non-initial screens weren't refetched correctly
77     (reported by Paco-Paco).
78 root 1.650 - fix a bug in xcopyarea pass and _disable_ it, as it seems not to be
79     working in either rxvt-unicode nor in the original rxvt.
80 root 1.656 - removed undocumented -exec alias for the -e option.
81 root 1.645
82 root 1.644 7.6 Fri Feb 10 08:52:36 CET 2006
83 root 1.619 - changed interpretation of [alpha] colour prefix.
84 root 1.620 - +option now really sets the option to default, instead of using the
85     resource value.
86 root 1.627 - options that require an argument now really _require_ an argument.
87 root 1.634 - the tabbed extension now forwards focus and keys events to th
88     relevant tab window.
89     - tab colours are now configurable and have sensible defaults
90     (initial patch by hednod).
91 root 1.639 - option menu is extendable, readline, selection and
92     selection-autotransform can now be disabled/enabled at runtime.
93 root 1.638 - forcing a configure event to tabbed subwindows with -pe tabbed, for
94     the benefit of automove-background.
95 root 1.635 - the automove-background extension added a wrong constant offset.
96 root 1.628 - force refresh of XA_RESOURCE_STRING on virtual reconnect.
97 root 1.627 - return exit status 2 in urxvtc when urxvtd couldn't be contacted.
98 root 1.622 - the linux yield hack is back, now using usleep, and enabled only on
99     __linux__.
100 root 1.619 - further round trip eliminations in the !XFT case by remembering
101     the colour components.
102 root 1.620 - plain scrollbar works better with -sr.
103     - fixed half-shadow scrollbar look.
104 root 1.625 - more colour rtt optimisations.
105     - properly(?) free colours on window close.
106 root 1.621 - reorganised the FAQ into multiple sections.
107 root 1.633 - add ISO646.1991-IRV to the list of supported codesets.
108 root 1.643 - minor libptytty update.
109 root 1.617
110 root 1.618 7.5 Tue Jan 31 15:15:43 CET 2006
111 root 1.610 - further improvements to the careful mode detection, and font width
112 root 1.609 detection:
113     - fully double-wide fonts will now be correctly treated,
114     - overlap detection was improved.
115     - detect totally broken fonts (usually synthesized by xft).
116     - careful mode forced refresh sometimes clashed with blinking,
117     causing unnecessary screen redraws.
118     - better handling of XFT combining characters.
119     - enable antialiasing for some replacement fonts, as they
120     might get used for other encodings which really need it, later.
121     - remove spacing=100 from all default fonts, as this creates totally
122     weird spacing (5 times normal) with xft.
123 root 1.610 - removed iso10646 fallback, as xorgs iso10646 encoded fonts are mostly
124     broken.
125     - removed gnu unifont fallback, all combining characters are broken.
126 root 1.608 - replace named colours by xorg's rgb.txt equivalents, to
127     reduce round trip time on startup, and short-cut allocation
128 root 1.611 of rgb:rr/gg/bb for xft.
129 root 1.615 - short-cut allocation of rgb values in the xlib case
130 root 1.611 (patch by Paco-Paco).
131 root 1.610 - overhauled color management: smaller codesize, alpha support.
132 root 1.614 - support "rgba:rrrr/gggg/bbbb/aaaa" color specifications and
133     an "[alpha]" prefix.
134 root 1.610 - try to work around Xft and Xrender forcing everything to be 100%
135     transparent. Long Live Xft!
136     - do not include X11/Intrinsic.h anymore, directly use
137     Xlib/Xutil/Xresource directly.
138 root 1.612 - try to find a nearest matching color when color allocation fails
139     on a pseudocolor screen.
140 root 1.610 - SYNCCVS: compared to rxvt-cvs 2006-01-28, no relevant changes.
141     - fix version report (DA) (which was unfortunately broken).
142     - changed version number report again, now to emulate xterm closer.
143     - added the OSC sequence 702 to detect the urxvt version number.
144     - small configure updates.
145 root 1.608 - further RTT optimisations.
146 root 1.598
147 root 1.597 7.4 Sat Jan 28 15:26:27 CET 2006
148 root 1.596 - screen background wasn't always erased properly when scrolling,
149     - re-enabled clearing optimisation disabled in 7.4pre.
150 root 1.597 - small configure updates for libptytty.
151     - fixed version options: line output.
152     - removed stoopid debugging message left in the code.
153 root 1.593
154 root 1.591 7.3 Wed Jan 25 22:47:35 CET 2006
155 root 1.575 - don't let iso14755 or mouse reporting get into the way of perl
156     (could lead to global grabs never being cleared).
157 root 1.579 - experimental OnTheSpot editing support (-pe xim-onthespot).
158 root 1.576 - moved Shift-Button2 paste combination to Meta-Button2.
159 root 1.582 - the cutchars resource will now be respected and used by the
160     selection extension.
161 root 1.586 - added the "remote-clipboard" extension which just runs external
162 root 1.584 commands to fetch and store the selection data.
163 root 1.589 - added -depth switch that tries to get a different visual depth
164     than the default (replaces the old PREFER_24_BIT logic).
165 root 1.573 - removed (unused) arabic presentation form composing sequences.
166 root 1.582 - be more strict when deciding that a core font glyph is too wide and
167     needs the careful rendering mode.
168     - allow more leeway for italic fonts when deciding that a character is
169     too wide and needs careful mode.
170 root 1.589 - redraw even more characters around characters using careful mode.
171 root 1.588 - made selection-pastebin fully asynchronous.
172 root 1.580 - reduced number of server turnarounds at startup by allocating
173     atoms only once per display.
174 root 1.586 - renamed on_keyboard_command to on_user_command.
175 root 1.578 - changed version sos (ESC [ > c) response to be more compatible with
176     xterm.
177 root 1.570
178 root 1.568 7.2 Sun Jan 22 21:58:16 CET 2006
179 root 1.563 - bugfix: urxvt (not urxvtd) did not correctly handle multiple
180     environments necessary, which resulted in segfaults within
181     getenv (reproducable: urxvt -fn 9x15, open a menu once,
182     ctrl-shift-672c).
183 root 1.560 - bugfix: the selection speedup in in 7.1 unfortunately caused
184 root 1.559 non-ascii characters to enlarge/move the selection.
185 root 1.567 - bugfix: resizing sometimes leaked lines from the secondary to
186     the primary screen.
187 root 1.568 - bugfix: reducing window size while large amounts of text were output
188     could lead to an assertion failure.
189 root 1.553 - added "tabbed" extension that provides a crude tabbed terminal.
190 root 1.554 - added "readline" extension that allows cursor positioning
191     via mouse clicks.
192 root 1.556 - now it is possible to insert the value of the CLIPBOARD selection
193 root 1.565 with shift - mouse button 2.
194 root 1.553 - fixed the automove-background extension to ignore coordinates
195     in non-synthetic events.
196 root 1.561 - created a separate libpty for portable and secure
197 root 1.565 pty/tty/utmp/wtmp/lastlog handling, and include it in rxvt-unicode.
198     - the non-terminfo visual bell now works asynchronously, so
199 root 1.563 continuous ASCI BELs in one terminal do no longer monopolise the
200     whole urxvt[d] process.
201     - support some *BSD makes (for the time being, gnu make is a safe bet).
202     - work around bugs in FreeBSD's gcc.
203     - implemented some *BSD fixes in configure.
204 root 1.556 - removed support for obsolete offix dnd protocol.
205 root 1.552
206 root 1.551 7.1 Thu Jan 19 20:25:34 CET 2006
207 root 1.542 - setuid/setgid operation is now _encouraged_: security has been
208     improved by moving privileged operations into a separate process
209     and permanently dropping privileges within the terminal. This
210     makes it possible to remove security checks from the perl code
211     and gives a much safer feeling when urxvt needs to run with
212     special privileges.
213     - perl taint checking disabled, as urxvt no longer runs setuid/setgid
214     itself.
215 root 1.543 - new perl extension automove-background that can be used to get
216     the same effect as pseudo-transparency with any pixmap.
217     - new perl extension example: perl/selection-pastebin, can be used to
218 root 1.542 e.g. upload the selection to a webserver and generate a url, or
219     similar stuff.
220 root 1.521 - use the scrollback buffer even when the scroll region doesn't
221 root 1.542 span the whole screen, as long as it starts at row 0. Helps
222     for programs displaying a status line at the bottom.
223 root 1.521 - selection popup now shows selection in dec/hex/oct.
224     - perl/selection: matching on unicode characters in the selection
225     code was O(n²), which equals infinity in some degenerate cases
226     :-> Matching is now done on UTF-8, which makes it almost instant.
227     - perl/selection, perl/selection-autotransform: regexes are now
228     being interpreted in the locale urxvt was started.
229 root 1.545 - implemented override-redirect option and enabled it on menus,
230     as kwin puts our windows behind the terminal (what a shoddy wm).
231 root 1.542 - fixed struct utmp check in configure for OpenBSD.
232 root 1.532 - complete overhaul of the pty/utmp management stuff and configure
233     (Emanuele Giaquinta).
234 root 1.542 - add tsl/fsl and related capabilities to the terminfo description,
235     to set the window title.
236     - swap the environment in some more cases. This hopefully fixes
237     some segfaults that might be caused by xft asking for env variables
238     at the wrong time.
239 root 1.530 - removed src/strings.C and src/menubar.C. No menubar support
240     anymore.
241 root 1.535 - removed all traces of SMOOTH_REFRESH.
242 root 1.531 - nuked QNX support.
243 root 1.544 - made some fixes to xpm offset and scaling code.
244 root 1.542 - perl-overlays and refresh hooks were not applied in correct order.
245     - changed coordinate-system of view_start/nsaved to be top to bottom.
246 root 1.547 - iom extended to support listening for child exits.
247 root 1.518
248 root 1.517 7.0 Fri Jan 13 14:02:18 CET 2006
249 root 1.500 - added sections for DISTRIBUTION MAINTAINERS and about
250 root 1.501 SETUID/SETGID to the FAQ.
251 root 1.503 - selection, searchable-scrollback, selection-popup and
252     option-popup extensions enabled by default.
253 root 1.502 - increased xft drawing speed for problematic fonts. The effect
254     will likely be small as 99% of the xft slowness is server-related.
255 root 1.499 - perl: much increased functionality, better overlays, popup support
256     and much much more.
257 root 1.493 - perl: urxvt::line now can set via ->t and ->r.
258 root 1.495 - perl: changed interpretation of --perl-ext-common and -pe.
259 root 1.496 - perl: finally implemented --perl-eval.
260 root 1.499 - perl: non-blocking anyevent support.
261     - perl: run tainted and ignore perl-eval/perl-lib if started
262 root 1.498 setuid/setgid.
263 root 1.499 - free the resource database: this plugs a massive memory leak. As a
264 root 1.497 side effect, it also gets rid of XGetDefault calls.
265 root 1.499 - free one of the cursors, fixes a small memory leak.
266 root 1.503 - built-in (as opposed to terminfos) visual bell was broken/too fast.
267 root 1.504 - applied minor cleanups by Ladislav Michnovic.
268 root 1.514 - applied pty handling cleanups and improvements (Emanuele Giaquinta).
269 root 1.505 - mark-urls launch-on-click by jepler.
270 root 1.506 - removed "small" resource parsing function, as it wasn't really
271     compatible, and not really small either.
272     - removed PATH_ENV and PATH file search support.
273     - removed support for locale-specific app-defaults file.
274 root 1.510 - fixed a bug where out-of-bounds colour sequences could lead
275     to crashes.
276 root 1.511 - limit colour changing to the standard 88 palette instead of all
277     colours.
278 root 1.510 - XTerm_Color01 sequence returned wrong results in query mode.
279 root 1.513 - iom.C now checks against destructed io_manager when unregistering.
280 root 1.493
281 root 1.491 6.3 Wed Jan 4 22:37:10 CET 2006
282 root 1.484 - SECURITY FIX: on systems using openpty, permissions were
283     not correctly updated on the tty device and were left as
284     world-readable and world-writable (likely in original rxvt,
285 root 1.489 too), and were not restored properly. Affected are only
286     systems where non-unix ptys were used (such as most BSDs, not
287     GNU/Linux). (found, patched and debugged by Ryan Beasley).
288 root 1.481 - meta8 support was forcefully enabled in most configurations.
289     restored configurability of this (useless) feature (reported
290 root 1.488 by Mikachu).
291 root 1.477 - optionally embed a perl interpreter, which can be used for more
292     intelligent/customized selection support, visual feedback,
293 root 1.478 menus, tabs etc. See the the urxvtperl manpage, the -pe option,
294 root 1.481 perl*-resources and keysym resources. Not everything is there yet.
295 root 1.486 - try to be more clever about differing font sizes and their ascent.
296 root 1.488 Not guarenteed to work, but works better in most cases now.
297 root 1.475 - fix directory permissions on install.
298 root 1.490 - implemented option to disable built-in line drawing characters
299 root 1.488 and fall back to the font ones (patch by Martin Pohlack).
300 root 1.487 - disabled sched_yield support: the linux version is just too useless
301     (it schedules nice'd processes before the own one for extended
302     periods). Too bad, it could reduce system time by a factor of 5 here.
303 root 1.474
304 root 1.473 6.2 Mon Jan 2 16:03:01 CET 2006
305 root 1.465 - implemented intensityStyles option which enables/disables bold/blink
306     selecting high intensity foreground/background colours, suggested by
307     Chuck Blake.
308 root 1.466 - move iso14755 character feedback box out of the way if it would
309     obscure the mouse cursor position.
310 root 1.463 - replaced callback.h by a fixed version from gvpe that correctly
311 root 1.464 returns the callback result (affects new -pty-fd semantics in urxvtc
312     on a few architectures). Reported by darix.
313 root 1.469 - include one trailing space in rectangular selections to indicate
314     the inserted newline (yeah, weird, but visually more pleasing).
315 root 1.472 - try to use sched_yield to (drastically) improve terminal data
316     transfer efficiency.
317 root 1.467 - further minor cleanups.
318 root 1.463
319 root 1.461 6.1 Tue Dec 27 13:23:40 CET 2005
320 root 1.454 - update iso8859-7 table (euro and drachma round-trip et al.).
321 root 1.452 - fix a crash when the selection scrolls out of the scrollback
322     while the user still drags.
323 root 1.453 - selections that were partially scrolled out of the window were
324     not drawn correctly.
325 root 1.455 - lines newly scrolled in were not initialized properly, leading
326     to extremely long lines and (hopefully) some segfaults.
327 root 1.457 - iso14755 overlay position was wrong.
328     - iso14755 overlay now displays rendition info, too.
329 root 1.459 - use unicode white space class instead of hardcoded values for
330     stripping whitespace.
331 root 1.458 - do whitespace stripping on rectangular selections.
332 root 1.460 - slight cleanups in src/features.h.
333 root 1.452
334 root 1.449 6.0 Sat Dec 24 13:58:56 CET 2005
335 root 1.437 - make it compile without SMART_RESIZE again.
336 root 1.439 - enable slow link support by default.
337 root 1.441 - fix relative cursor-positioning not respecting scrolling regions
338     (also a bug in original rxvt).
339 root 1.442 - initialize termios structure to zero when fetching it fails
340     (see http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=84647 for a
341     partial patch).
342     - bump max columns/rows to 10000 each.
343     - bump max savelines to 10000000.
344 root 1.447 - -pty-fd now passes the urxvtc fd to the urxvtd process.
345 root 1.448 - avoid linking against -lnsl/-lsocket/-lxpg4 unless neccessary.
346 root 1.441 - major code cleanup (still not complete, though).
347 root 1.445 - implement -hold option.
348 root 1.441 - _major_ rewrite of internal buffer handling:
349 root 1.443 - re-flow on resize, lines get wrapped instead of winged.
350 root 1.440 - circular line buffer (substantially speeds up scrolling).
351     - slightly less code + data memory usage per terminal.
352     - slight overall speed improvements.
353     - considerably improved code clarity.
354 root 1.439 - partial-screen scrolls no longer end up in the scrollback
355     buffer.

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

533     resulting in segfaults.
534     - don't crash when the saved cursor position doesn't fit on the

536     - fix signed/unsigned bugs on wc<->mb conversions.
537     - reset slipwheel scrolling speed when reaching the top or bottom
538     (Mikael Magnusson).
539     - for core fonts, use ascent + descent when a font is loaded,

568     time (12.8s -> 7.8s on my dsl). Still, doing it with only 2-3
569     turnarounds would be much faster, but impossible to implement(?).
570     - implement underlineColor resource when ENABLE_FRILLS.
571     - iom left it's signal pipe handle open in the child

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

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

685     - fixed a long-standing rxvt bug in which rxvt failed to save
686     and restore the correct cursor position on the secondary screen.
687     - reworked rxvt-unicode terminfo to allow more efficient and less flickering
688     screen updates with curses.
689     - wide characters that are being halfway overwritten are now replaced
690     by spaces.
691     - urxvtc now transmits urxvt as default name, not urxvtc anymore
692     (likewise for other names chosen at configure time).
693     - disabled the automatic font lookup for unknown characters. xft
694     is just too slow for this to work.
695     - changed realbold code, implemented _real_ bold and italic support,
696     where _real_ means the symbiosis of what I want with what I can
697     implement. use --enable-styles.
698     - removed 256 color mode, but enable 88 colours in all modes
699     (88 to be compatible with 88 colour xterm which is widely
700     supported, and most programs assume a non-iso colourtable
701     for terminals with "odd" number of colours).
702     - added doc/etc/rxvt-unicode.terminfo which is a big overhaul

706     - implement positive and negative character-font caching, which
707     speeds up output immensely in case a character cannot be found
708     (only for non-bold right now).
709     - fix segfault in fading code on certain escape sequences.
710     - better default font size and style.
711     - rxvt-unicode is now much more picky about fonts not fitting
712     into the base font, but to offset this it will check each
713     single character against the base font extents and will only
714     use the characters fitting into the bounding box (+ some fudge).
715     - characters not fitting into the base boundary box will now often
716     be used anyways, but the following characters will be redrawn
717     more often to avoid pixel-droppings. This is like the original
718     rxvt pixel-dropping pass but it's much faster.
719     - scrollColor now affects plain scrollbar (Mikael Magnusson).
720     - fixed segfault in overlay code when height was larger than the
721     screen height.
722     - cursor no longer shines "through" the overlay.
723     - 7-bit ST marker detection was broken.
724     - scrollbar didn't come back sometimes when switching it
725     off/on using escape sequences (Mikael Magnusson).
726     - fix lots of colour problems with focus fading.
727     - $COLORFGBG was not set as documented.
728     - fix iso 14755 5.1 support when --enable-frills but --disable-iso14755.

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

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