22 root 1.677 TODO: investigate -pe tabbed -g 80x25 being 23 not 24 or 25 lines
23 root 1.667 TODO: zero scorllback buffer should free memory
24     TODO: kuake
25 root 1.680 TODO: investigate the color-management patch send ages ago, as well as other postings
26 root 1.684 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: this version will always read ~/.Xdefaults,
27     earlier versions only read it if display-resources (usually from
28     .Xresources) are not set. This avoids the #1 FAQ ("why isn't my
29     resource used") and seems to be logical behaviour, too. .Xdefaults
30     resources have a lower priority than display-specific resources.
31     - use less "correct" color scaling that is compatible with libX11 and
32     Xft (avoids off-by-one colors resulting in striped backgrounds).
33 root 1.678 - the "depth" resource is now respected.
34 root 1.684 - preset the searchable-scrollback pattern with "(?i)" to default search
35     to case-insensitivity. Will automatically be cleared when typing an
36     uppercase character.
37 root 1.661 - add FORCE_UNBUFFERED_XFT define to features.h.
38 root 1.684 - re-enabled highlightcolor support with --enable-frills, based on
39     a patch by Martin Stubenschrott.
40 root 1.668 - double-buffered xft drawing did suffer from pixel offset issues
41     when pixmap transparency was enabled.
42 root 1.662 - moved on_osc_seq to on_osc_seq_perl and added a more
43     generic osc_seq.
44 root 1.664 - fix a bug causing double callback invocations when perl hooks
45     were invoked recursively.
46 root 1.665 - the automove-background extension now properly works when the
47     pixmap gets reset with an osc sequence (sqweek).
48 root 1.667 - selection-pastebin did not work properly with non-latin1-characters.
49 root 1.673 - apply colorUL only when the text colour is the default fg
50     (patch by Wu Fengguang).
51     - removed rxvtlib.h from the tarball, it had no reason to be there
52 root 1.670 (spotted by Decklin Foster).
53     - fix compiling with TRANSPARENT but !XPM_BACKGROUND, as reported
54     by omatunto_.
55 root 1.671 - slap in a using namespace std, might help on platforms that don't
56     follow C++ closely enough.
57 root 1.676 - fix mailto url regex, spotted within milliseconds by Jost Krieger.
58 root 1.682 - applied fade_color_update_func.patch by WU Fengguang.
59 root 1.683 - fix a bug where (due to an optimisation in av_delete), hiding the
60     bottom-most overlay would hide two overlays.
61 root 1.661
62 root 1.658 7.7 Tue Feb 21 12:32:49 CET 2006
63 root 1.653 - use double-buffered drawing (xft fonts only). On many driver/hardware
64 root 1.649 combination this actually increases xft drawing speed, at the expense
65     of more network bandwidth and slight nausea on the side of the author.
66 root 1.646 - readline perl extension now requires shift-click instead of a normal
67 root 1.657 click, and eats the click.
68 root 1.656 - tabbed perl extension now supports -e.
69 root 1.649 - disabled graphics-exposures on the main drawing GC, report any
70     refresh bugs please.
71 root 1.646 - improve property handling for -pe tabbed: avoid unnecessary property
72 root 1.645 changes (for kde's benefit) at the expense of extra round-trips,
73     improve size hint setting.
74 root 1.646 - modified XIM according to a patch sent by Takano Akio that sets
75     the preedit rectangle for OverTheSpot, which helps some input methods
76     to correctly position their preedit window.
77 root 1.647 - un-optimise the line clearing on newly scrolled-in lines a bit: the
78     former reasoning was that any fg colour on default bg looks the same
79 root 1.666 in empty spaces, but thats not true when reversing (e.g. selection),
80 root 1.647 so also check for matching fg colours. This fixes the problem where
81     selecting newly scrolled-in lines would exhibit wrong colours.
82 root 1.655 - fix a bug in the perl interface causing focus in events to generate
83     focus out perl events, causing bad focus effects with -pe tabbed.
84 root 1.648 - fix a race resulting in a crash on exiting.
85 root 1.651 - fix a with --disable-xft that caused xfreecolors to be called on
86 root 1.652 colors never allocated, resulting in aborts (reported by Paco-Paco).
87     - resources on non-initial screens weren't refetched correctly
88     (reported by Paco-Paco).
89 root 1.650 - fix a bug in xcopyarea pass and _disable_ it, as it seems not to be
90     working in either rxvt-unicode nor in the original rxvt.
91 root 1.656 - removed undocumented -exec alias for the -e option.
92 root 1.645
93 root 1.644 7.6 Fri Feb 10 08:52:36 CET 2006
94 root 1.619 - changed interpretation of [alpha] colour prefix.
95 root 1.620 - +option now really sets the option to default, instead of using the
96     resource value.
97 root 1.627 - options that require an argument now really _require_ an argument.
98 root 1.634 - the tabbed extension now forwards focus and keys events to th
99     relevant tab window.
100     - tab colours are now configurable and have sensible defaults
101     (initial patch by hednod).
102 root 1.639 - option menu is extendable, readline, selection and
103     selection-autotransform can now be disabled/enabled at runtime.
104 root 1.638 - forcing a configure event to tabbed subwindows with -pe tabbed, for
105     the benefit of automove-background.
106 root 1.635 - the automove-background extension added a wrong constant offset.
107 root 1.628 - force refresh of XA_RESOURCE_STRING on virtual reconnect.
108 root 1.627 - return exit status 2 in urxvtc when urxvtd couldn't be contacted.
109 root 1.622 - the linux yield hack is back, now using usleep, and enabled only on
110     __linux__.
111 root 1.619 - further round trip eliminations in the !XFT case by remembering
112     the colour components.
113 root 1.620 - plain scrollbar works better with -sr.
114     - fixed half-shadow scrollbar look.
115 root 1.625 - more colour rtt optimisations.
116     - properly(?) free colours on window close.
117 root 1.621 - reorganised the FAQ into multiple sections.
118 root 1.633 - add ISO646.1991-IRV to the list of supported codesets.
119 root 1.643 - minor libptytty update.
120 root 1.617
121 root 1.618 7.5 Tue Jan 31 15:15:43 CET 2006
122 root 1.610 - further improvements to the careful mode detection, and font width
123 root 1.609 detection:
124     - fully double-wide fonts will now be correctly treated,
125     - overlap detection was improved.
126     - detect totally broken fonts (usually synthesized by xft).
127     - careful mode forced refresh sometimes clashed with blinking,
128     causing unnecessary screen redraws.
129     - better handling of XFT combining characters.
130     - enable antialiasing for some replacement fonts, as they
131     might get used for other encodings which really need it, later.
132     - remove spacing=100 from all default fonts, as this creates totally
133     weird spacing (5 times normal) with xft.
134 root 1.610 - removed iso10646 fallback, as xorgs iso10646 encoded fonts are mostly
135     broken.
136     - removed gnu unifont fallback, all combining characters are broken.
137 root 1.608 - replace named colours by xorg's rgb.txt equivalents, to
138     reduce round trip time on startup, and short-cut allocation
139 root 1.611 of rgb:rr/gg/bb for xft.
140 root 1.615 - short-cut allocation of rgb values in the xlib case
141 root 1.611 (patch by Paco-Paco).
142 root 1.610 - overhauled color management: smaller codesize, alpha support.
143 root 1.614 - support "rgba:rrrr/gggg/bbbb/aaaa" color specifications and
144     an "[alpha]" prefix.
145 root 1.610 - try to work around Xft and Xrender forcing everything to be 100%
146     transparent. Long Live Xft!
147     - do not include X11/Intrinsic.h anymore, directly use
148     Xlib/Xutil/Xresource directly.
149 root 1.612 - try to find a nearest matching color when color allocation fails
150     on a pseudocolor screen.
151 root 1.610 - SYNCCVS: compared to rxvt-cvs 2006-01-28, no relevant changes.
152     - fix version report (DA) (which was unfortunately broken).
153     - changed version number report again, now to emulate xterm closer.
154     - added the OSC sequence 702 to detect the urxvt version number.
155     - small configure updates.
156 root 1.608 - further RTT optimisations.
157 root 1.598
158 root 1.597 7.4 Sat Jan 28 15:26:27 CET 2006
159 root 1.596 - screen background wasn't always erased properly when scrolling,
160     - re-enabled clearing optimisation disabled in 7.4pre.
161 root 1.597 - small configure updates for libptytty.
162     - fixed version options: line output.
163     - removed stoopid debugging message left in the code.
164 root 1.593
165 root 1.591 7.3 Wed Jan 25 22:47:35 CET 2006
166 root 1.575 - don't let iso14755 or mouse reporting get into the way of perl
167     (could lead to global grabs never being cleared).
168 root 1.579 - experimental OnTheSpot editing support (-pe xim-onthespot).
169 root 1.576 - moved Shift-Button2 paste combination to Meta-Button2.
170 root 1.582 - the cutchars resource will now be respected and used by the
171     selection extension.
172 root 1.586 - added the "remote-clipboard" extension which just runs external
173 root 1.584 commands to fetch and store the selection data.
174 root 1.589 - added -depth switch that tries to get a different visual depth
175     than the default (replaces the old PREFER_24_BIT logic).
176 root 1.573 - removed (unused) arabic presentation form composing sequences.
177 root 1.582 - be more strict when deciding that a core font glyph is too wide and
178     needs the careful rendering mode.
179     - allow more leeway for italic fonts when deciding that a character is
180     too wide and needs careful mode.
181 root 1.589 - redraw even more characters around characters using careful mode.
182 root 1.588 - made selection-pastebin fully asynchronous.
183 root 1.580 - reduced number of server turnarounds at startup by allocating
184     atoms only once per display.
185 root 1.586 - renamed on_keyboard_command to on_user_command.
186 root 1.578 - changed version sos (ESC [ > c) response to be more compatible with
187     xterm.
188 root 1.570
189 root 1.568 7.2 Sun Jan 22 21:58:16 CET 2006
190 root 1.563 - bugfix: urxvt (not urxvtd) did not correctly handle multiple
191     environments necessary, which resulted in segfaults within
192     getenv (reproducable: urxvt -fn 9x15, open a menu once,
193     ctrl-shift-672c).
194 root 1.560 - bugfix: the selection speedup in in 7.1 unfortunately caused
195 root 1.559 non-ascii characters to enlarge/move the selection.
196 root 1.567 - bugfix: resizing sometimes leaked lines from the secondary to
197     the primary screen.
198 root 1.568 - bugfix: reducing window size while large amounts of text were output
199     could lead to an assertion failure.
200 root 1.553 - added "tabbed" extension that provides a crude tabbed terminal.
201 root 1.554 - added "readline" extension that allows cursor positioning
202     via mouse clicks.
203 root 1.556 - now it is possible to insert the value of the CLIPBOARD selection
204 root 1.565 with shift - mouse button 2.
205 root 1.553 - fixed the automove-background extension to ignore coordinates
206     in non-synthetic events.
207 root 1.561 - created a separate libpty for portable and secure
208 root 1.565 pty/tty/utmp/wtmp/lastlog handling, and include it in rxvt-unicode.
209     - the non-terminfo visual bell now works asynchronously, so
210 root 1.563 continuous ASCI BELs in one terminal do no longer monopolise the
211     whole urxvt[d] process.
212     - support some *BSD makes (for the time being, gnu make is a safe bet).
213     - work around bugs in FreeBSD's gcc.
214     - implemented some *BSD fixes in configure.
215 root 1.556 - removed support for obsolete offix dnd protocol.
216 root 1.552
217 root 1.551 7.1 Thu Jan 19 20:25:34 CET 2006
218 root 1.542 - setuid/setgid operation is now _encouraged_: security has been
219     improved by moving privileged operations into a separate process
220     and permanently dropping privileges within the terminal. This
221     makes it possible to remove security checks from the perl code
222     and gives a much safer feeling when urxvt needs to run with
223     special privileges.
224     - perl taint checking disabled, as urxvt no longer runs setuid/setgid
225     itself.
226 root 1.543 - new perl extension automove-background that can be used to get
227     the same effect as pseudo-transparency with any pixmap.
228     - new perl extension example: perl/selection-pastebin, can be used to
229 root 1.542 e.g. upload the selection to a webserver and generate a url, or
230     similar stuff.
231 root 1.521 - use the scrollback buffer even when the scroll region doesn't
232 root 1.542 span the whole screen, as long as it starts at row 0. Helps
233     for programs displaying a status line at the bottom.
234 root 1.521 - selection popup now shows selection in dec/hex/oct.
235     - perl/selection: matching on unicode characters in the selection
236     code was O(n²), which equals infinity in some degenerate cases
237     :-> Matching is now done on UTF-8, which makes it almost instant.
238     - perl/selection, perl/selection-autotransform: regexes are now
239     being interpreted in the locale urxvt was started.
240 root 1.545 - implemented override-redirect option and enabled it on menus,
241     as kwin puts our windows behind the terminal (what a shoddy wm).
242 root 1.542 - fixed struct utmp check in configure for OpenBSD.
243 root 1.532 - complete overhaul of the pty/utmp management stuff and configure
244     (Emanuele Giaquinta).
245 root 1.542 - add tsl/fsl and related capabilities to the terminfo description,
246     to set the window title.
247     - swap the environment in some more cases. This hopefully fixes
248     some segfaults that might be caused by xft asking for env variables
249     at the wrong time.
250 root 1.530 - removed src/strings.C and src/menubar.C. No menubar support
251     anymore.
252 root 1.535 - removed all traces of SMOOTH_REFRESH.
253 root 1.531 - nuked QNX support.
254 root 1.544 - made some fixes to xpm offset and scaling code.
255 root 1.542 - perl-overlays and refresh hooks were not applied in correct order.
256     - changed coordinate-system of view_start/nsaved to be top to bottom.
257 root 1.547 - iom extended to support listening for child exits.
258 root 1.518
259 root 1.517 7.0 Fri Jan 13 14:02:18 CET 2006
260 root 1.500 - added sections for DISTRIBUTION MAINTAINERS and about
261 root 1.501 SETUID/SETGID to the FAQ.
262 root 1.503 - selection, searchable-scrollback, selection-popup and
263     option-popup extensions enabled by default.
264 root 1.502 - increased xft drawing speed for problematic fonts. The effect
265     will likely be small as 99% of the xft slowness is server-related.
266 root 1.499 - perl: much increased functionality, better overlays, popup support
267     and much much more.
268 root 1.493 - perl: urxvt::line now can set via ->t and ->r.
269 root 1.495 - perl: changed interpretation of --perl-ext-common and -pe.
270 root 1.496 - perl: finally implemented --perl-eval.
271 root 1.499 - perl: non-blocking anyevent support.
272     - perl: run tainted and ignore perl-eval/perl-lib if started
273 root 1.498 setuid/setgid.
274 root 1.499 - free the resource database: this plugs a massive memory leak. As a
275 root 1.497 side effect, it also gets rid of XGetDefault calls.
276 root 1.499 - free one of the cursors, fixes a small memory leak.
277 root 1.503 - built-in (as opposed to terminfos) visual bell was broken/too fast.
278 root 1.504 - applied minor cleanups by Ladislav Michnovic.
279 root 1.514 - applied pty handling cleanups and improvements (Emanuele Giaquinta).
280 root 1.505 - mark-urls launch-on-click by jepler.
281 root 1.506 - removed "small" resource parsing function, as it wasn't really
282     compatible, and not really small either.
283     - removed PATH_ENV and PATH file search support.
284     - removed support for locale-specific app-defaults file.
285 root 1.510 - fixed a bug where out-of-bounds colour sequences could lead
286     to crashes.
287 root 1.511 - limit colour changing to the standard 88 palette instead of all
288     colours.
289 root 1.510 - XTerm_Color01 sequence returned wrong results in query mode.
290 root 1.513 - iom.C now checks against destructed io_manager when unregistering.
291 root 1.493
292 root 1.491 6.3 Wed Jan 4 22:37:10 CET 2006
293 root 1.484 - SECURITY FIX: on systems using openpty, permissions were
294     not correctly updated on the tty device and were left as
295     world-readable and world-writable (likely in original rxvt,
296 root 1.489 too), and were not restored properly. Affected are only
297     systems where non-unix ptys were used (such as most BSDs, not
298     GNU/Linux). (found, patched and debugged by Ryan Beasley).
299 root 1.481 - meta8 support was forcefully enabled in most configurations.
300     restored configurability of this (useless) feature (reported
301 root 1.488 by Mikachu).
302 root 1.477 - optionally embed a perl interpreter, which can be used for more
303     intelligent/customized selection support, visual feedback,
304 root 1.478 menus, tabs etc. See the the urxvtperl manpage, the -pe option,
305 root 1.481 perl*-resources and keysym resources. Not everything is there yet.
306 root 1.486 - try to be more clever about differing font sizes and their ascent.
307 root 1.488 Not guarenteed to work, but works better in most cases now.
308 root 1.475 - fix directory permissions on install.
309 root 1.490 - implemented option to disable built-in line drawing characters
310 root 1.488 and fall back to the font ones (patch by Martin Pohlack).
311 root 1.487 - disabled sched_yield support: the linux version is just too useless
312     (it schedules nice'd processes before the own one for extended
313     periods). Too bad, it could reduce system time by a factor of 5 here.
314 root 1.474
315 root 1.473 6.2 Mon Jan 2 16:03:01 CET 2006
316 root 1.465 - implemented intensityStyles option which enables/disables bold/blink
317     selecting high intensity foreground/background colours, suggested by
318     Chuck Blake.
319 root 1.466 - move iso14755 character feedback box out of the way if it would
320     obscure the mouse cursor position.
321 root 1.463 - replaced callback.h by a fixed version from gvpe that correctly
322 root 1.464 returns the callback result (affects new -pty-fd semantics in urxvtc
323     on a few architectures). Reported by darix.
324 root 1.469 - include one trailing space in rectangular selections to indicate
325     the inserted newline (yeah, weird, but visually more pleasing).
326 root 1.472 - try to use sched_yield to (drastically) improve terminal data
327     transfer efficiency.
328 root 1.467 - further minor cleanups.
329 root 1.463
330 root 1.461 6.1 Tue Dec 27 13:23:40 CET 2005
331 root 1.454 - update iso8859-7 table (euro and drachma round-trip et al.).
332 root 1.452 - fix a crash when the selection scrolls out of the scrollback
333     while the user still drags.
334 root 1.453 - selections that were partially scrolled out of the window were
335     not drawn correctly.
336 root 1.455 - lines newly scrolled in were not initialized properly, leading
337     to extremely long lines and (hopefully) some segfaults.
338 root 1.457 - iso14755 overlay position was wrong.
339     - iso14755 overlay now displays rendition info, too.
340 root 1.459 - use unicode white space class instead of hardcoded values for
341     stripping whitespace.
342 root 1.458 - do whitespace stripping on rectangular selections.
343 root 1.460 - slight cleanups in src/features.h.
344 root 1.452
345 root 1.449 6.0 Sat Dec 24 13:58:56 CET 2005
346 root 1.437 - make it compile without SMART_RESIZE again.
347 root 1.439 - enable slow link support by default.
348 root 1.441 - fix relative cursor-positioning not respecting scrolling regions
349     (also a bug in original rxvt).
350 root 1.442 - initialize termios structure to zero when fetching it fails
351     (see http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=84647 for a
352     partial patch).
353     - bump max columns/rows to 10000 each.

407     Reported by Jasmin Buchert.
408     - font names are now considered to be utf-8 encoded (xft apperently
409     uses this convention. X Core fonts might not, but it should be rare).
410     Affects display in iso14755 box.
411     - rewrote the low-level xft drawing function ("xft backend" for the
412     hipper parts of the world) to hopefully cope better with proportional
413     chars mixed with fixed-width ones.
414     - rxvt is now much more careful (read: slower) with potentially
415     overlapping xft characters. It usually overshoots and redraws
416     more than required, but that's better than undershooting and
417     cutting pieces off of characters.
418     - rxvt is now more restrictive in what font heights it accepts for
419     fonts that will likely overshoot or undershoot lines.
420     - fix a cosmetic problem with the unfocused cursor on a wide character
421     at the end of the line (reported by Mikachu).

547     - fix signed/unsigned bugs on wc<->mb conversions.
548     - reset slipwheel scrolling speed when reaching the top or bottom

611     - as xlib is completely broken with respect to utf-8 handling
612     and nobody is going to fix it, that part has been re-implemented.

664     - move XFilterEvent up, as some input method seem to want events
665     for windows not requesting XIM. Please report if this change
666     causes any harm (specially with pointerblanking)
667     (patch by Kuang-che Wu).
668     - send the input method spot position on every refresh, not just
669     when rxvt thinks it should (which was not often enough...).
670     - fix double-wide combining characters (it might look a bit ugly,
671     though, but common cases are handled by normalization anyways).
672     - moved FAQ to rxvt(7), also made a copy into README.FAQ.
673     - fix a bug(?) in the XIM destroy callback.
674     - be more conservative when trying to register new input methods,
675     as Xlib races might make rxvt crash. When two or more
676     input methods are active, killing one probably still crashes rxvt
677     due to that bug :( Thanks a lot to Kuang-che Wu for immense help

696     - fixed a long-standing rxvt bug in which rxvt failed to save
697     and restore the correct cursor position on the secondary screen.
698     - reworked rxvt-unicode terminfo to allow more efficient and less flickering
699     screen updates with curses.
700     - wide characters that are being halfway overwritten are now replaced
701     by spaces.
702     - urxvtc now transmits urxvt as default name, not urxvtc anymore
703     (likewise for other names chosen at configure time).
704     - disabled the automatic font lookup for unknown characters. xft
705     is just too slow for this to work.
706     - changed realbold code, implemented _real_ bold and italic support,
707     where _real_ means the symbiosis of what I want with what I can
708     implement. use --enable-styles.
709     - removed 256 color mode, but enable 88 colours in all modes
710     (88 to be compatible with 88 colour xterm which is widely
711     supported, and most programs assume a non-iso colourtable
712     for terminals with "odd" number of colours).
713     - added doc/etc/rxvt-unicode.terminfo which is a big overhaul

717     - implement positive and negative character-font caching, which
718     speeds up output immensely in case a character cannot be found
719     (only for non-bold right now).
720     - fix segfault in fading code on certain escape sequences.
721     - better default font size and style.
722     - rxvt-unicode is now much more picky about fonts not fitting
723     into the base font, but to offset this it will check each
724     single character against the base font extents and will only
725     use the characters fitting into the bounding box (+ some fudge).
726     - characters not fitting into the base boundary box will now often
727     be used anyways, but the following characters will be redrawn
728     more often to avoid pixel-droppings. This is like the original
729     rxvt pixel-dropping pass but it's much faster.
730     - scrollColor now affects plain scrollbar (Mikael Magnusson).
731     - fixed segfault in overlay code when height was larger than the
732     screen height.
733     - cursor no longer shines "through" the overlay.
734     - 7-bit ST marker detection was broken.
735     - scrollbar didn't come back sometimes when switching it
736     off/on using escape sequences (Mikael Magnusson).
737     - fix lots of colour problems with focus fading.
738     - $COLORFGBG was not set as documented.
739     - fix iso 14755 5.1 support when --enable-frills but --disable-iso14755.
740     - removed OSC 702.
741     - disabled MOUSE_REPORT_DOUBLECLICK by default, as programs seem to be
742     confused by it rather than using it.
743 root 1.168
744 root 1.194 3.7 Tue Aug 17 04:22:25 CEST 2004
745     - new configure option --enable-iso14755.
746 root 1.430 - full iso 14755 conformance (at least I claim so :).
747     - extended the FAQ section in the manpage.
748 root 1.194 - fix OverTheSpot and OffTheSpot editing, which was broken since ages,
749 root 1.430 due to no fontset being available. The fontset used is a very rough
750     approximation to the rxvt font, though. This fixes the
751     "cannot create input context" in most cases.
752     - fix coordinates used for Over && OffTheSpot editing to fit directly
753     at the cursor (Over) or into the top line (Off).
754     - reset SIGHUP and SIGPIPE handlers to default values (they were
755     previously being ignored, causing programs not to exit on windoe
756     close).
757     - implemented simple overlays for feedback messages. believe it or
758     not, this was a major blocker in implementing tabbed terminals.
759     - fix compiling with --disable-frills (Adam Sampson).
760     - clarify bold docs in README.unicode (Adam Sampson).
761 root 1.194 - fix crash on window close when the input method or context
762 root 1.430 could not be created.
763     - add work around for badly written programs (see debian bug
764     #202497). This is _not_ a bug in rxvt but rather a race
765     condition in other programs (e.g. jed). It works by forcefully
766     sending SIGWINCH when rxvt sees the first output from the
767     command. This workaround isn't perfect (a slight cost to
768     wellbehaving programs who need to resize twice), but it usually
769     works.
770 root 1.194 - set correct pixel size in struct winsize.
771 root 1.430 - document more escape sequences.
772     - fix leftover macros and a few minor doc glitches in rxvt(1).
773     - work around bash's assumption that stepping into the middle of a
774     character is a sensible operation.
775     - fix some corner cases in autowrap handling.
776     - remove various useless make cruft, renamed files to better
777     reflect on their function, renamed many variables.
778     - fixed printscreen functionality, as noted by Jinesh Choksi.
779     - fix a problem where redraws of double-width characters sometimes
780     made the last character draw with normal width (especially visible
781     with selections).

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