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 1.684 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: this version will always read ~/.Xdefaults,
26     earlier versions only read it if display-resources (usually from
27     .Xresources) are not set. This avoids the #1 FAQ ("why isn't my
28     resource used") and seems to be logical behaviour, too. .Xdefaults
29     resources have a lower priority than display-specific resources.
30     - use less "correct" color scaling that is compatible with libX11 and
31     Xft (avoids off-by-one colors resulting in striped backgrounds).
32 root 1.678 - the "depth" resource is now respected.
33 root 1.684 - preset the searchable-scrollback pattern with "(?i)" to default search
34     to case-insensitivity. Will automatically be cleared when typing an
35     uppercase character.
36 root 1.661 - add FORCE_UNBUFFERED_XFT define to features.h.
37 root 1.684 - re-enabled highlightcolor support with --enable-frills, based on
38     a patch by Martin Stubenschrott.
39 root 1.668 - double-buffered xft drawing did suffer from pixel offset issues
40     when pixmap transparency was enabled.
41 root 1.685 - strategically add # to the url-match regexes, as we really want to
42     match common URIs not common URLs. Reported by Aaron Griffin.
43 root 1.662 - moved on_osc_seq to on_osc_seq_perl and added a more
44     generic osc_seq.
45 root 1.664 - fix a bug causing double callback invocations when perl hooks
46     were invoked recursively.
47 root 1.665 - the automove-background extension now properly works when the
48     pixmap gets reset with an osc sequence (sqweek).
49 root 1.667 - selection-pastebin did not work properly with non-latin1-characters.
50 root 1.673 - apply colorUL only when the text colour is the default fg
51     (patch by Wu Fengguang).
52     - removed rxvtlib.h from the tarball, it had no reason to be there
53 root 1.670 (spotted by Decklin Foster).
54     - fix compiling with TRANSPARENT but !XPM_BACKGROUND, as reported
55     by omatunto_.
56 root 1.671 - slap in a using namespace std, might help on platforms that don't
57     follow C++ closely enough.
58 root 1.676 - fix mailto url regex, spotted within milliseconds by Jost Krieger.
59 root 1.682 - applied fade_color_update_func.patch by WU Fengguang.
60 root 1.683 - fix a bug where (due to an optimisation in av_delete), hiding the
61     bottom-most overlay would hide two overlays.
62 root 1.661
63 root 1.658 7.7 Tue Feb 21 12:32:49 CET 2006
64 root 1.653 - use double-buffered drawing (xft fonts only). On many driver/hardware
65 root 1.649 combination this actually increases xft drawing speed, at the expense
66     of more network bandwidth and slight nausea on the side of the author.
67 root 1.646 - readline perl extension now requires shift-click instead of a normal
68 root 1.657 click, and eats the click.
69 root 1.656 - tabbed perl extension now supports -e.
70 root 1.649 - disabled graphics-exposures on the main drawing GC, report any
71     refresh bugs please.
72 root 1.646 - improve property handling for -pe tabbed: avoid unnecessary property
73 root 1.645 changes (for kde's benefit) at the expense of extra round-trips,
74     improve size hint setting.
75 root 1.646 - modified XIM according to a patch sent by Takano Akio that sets
76     the preedit rectangle for OverTheSpot, which helps some input methods
77     to correctly position their preedit window.
78 root 1.647 - un-optimise the line clearing on newly scrolled-in lines a bit: the
79     former reasoning was that any fg colour on default bg looks the same
80 root 1.666 in empty spaces, but thats not true when reversing (e.g. selection),
81 root 1.647 so also check for matching fg colours. This fixes the problem where
82     selecting newly scrolled-in lines would exhibit wrong colours.
83 root 1.655 - fix a bug in the perl interface causing focus in events to generate
84     focus out perl events, causing bad focus effects with -pe tabbed.
85 root 1.648 - fix a race resulting in a crash on exiting.
86 root 1.651 - fix a with --disable-xft that caused xfreecolors to be called on
87 root 1.652 colors never allocated, resulting in aborts (reported by Paco-Paco).
88     - resources on non-initial screens weren't refetched correctly
89     (reported by Paco-Paco).
90 root 1.650 - fix a bug in xcopyarea pass and _disable_ it, as it seems not to be
91     working in either rxvt-unicode nor in the original rxvt.
92 root 1.656 - removed undocumented -exec alias for the -e option.
93 root 1.645
94 root 1.644 7.6 Fri Feb 10 08:52:36 CET 2006
95 root 1.619 - changed interpretation of [alpha] colour prefix.
96 root 1.620 - +option now really sets the option to default, instead of using the
97     resource value.
98 root 1.627 - options that require an argument now really _require_ an argument.
99 root 1.634 - the tabbed extension now forwards focus and keys events to th
100     relevant tab window.
101     - tab colours are now configurable and have sensible defaults
102     (initial patch by hednod).
103 root 1.639 - option menu is extendable, readline, selection and
104     selection-autotransform can now be disabled/enabled at runtime.
105 root 1.638 - forcing a configure event to tabbed subwindows with -pe tabbed, for
106     the benefit of automove-background.
107 root 1.635 - the automove-background extension added a wrong constant offset.
108 root 1.628 - force refresh of XA_RESOURCE_STRING on virtual reconnect.
109 root 1.627 - return exit status 2 in urxvtc when urxvtd couldn't be contacted.
110 root 1.622 - the linux yield hack is back, now using usleep, and enabled only on
111     __linux__.
112 root 1.619 - further round trip eliminations in the !XFT case by remembering
113     the colour components.
114 root 1.620 - plain scrollbar works better with -sr.
115     - fixed half-shadow scrollbar look.
116 root 1.625 - more colour rtt optimisations.
117     - properly(?) free colours on window close.
118 root 1.621 - reorganised the FAQ into multiple sections.
119 root 1.633 - add ISO646.1991-IRV to the list of supported codesets.
120 root 1.643 - minor libptytty update.
121 root 1.617
122 root 1.618 7.5 Tue Jan 31 15:15:43 CET 2006
123 root 1.610 - further improvements to the careful mode detection, and font width
124 root 1.609 detection:
125     - fully double-wide fonts will now be correctly treated,
126     - overlap detection was improved.
127     - detect totally broken fonts (usually synthesized by xft).
128     - careful mode forced refresh sometimes clashed with blinking,
129     causing unnecessary screen redraws.
130     - better handling of XFT combining characters.
131     - enable antialiasing for some replacement fonts, as they
132     might get used for other encodings which really need it, later.
133     - remove spacing=100 from all default fonts, as this creates totally
134     weird spacing (5 times normal) with xft.
135 root 1.610 - removed iso10646 fallback, as xorgs iso10646 encoded fonts are mostly
136     broken.
137     - removed gnu unifont fallback, all combining characters are broken.
138 root 1.608 - replace named colours by xorg's rgb.txt equivalents, to
139     reduce round trip time on startup, and short-cut allocation
140 root 1.611 of rgb:rr/gg/bb for xft.
141 root 1.615 - short-cut allocation of rgb values in the xlib case
142 root 1.611 (patch by Paco-Paco).
143 root 1.610 - overhauled color management: smaller codesize, alpha support.
144 root 1.614 - support "rgba:rrrr/gggg/bbbb/aaaa" color specifications and
145     an "[alpha]" prefix.
146 root 1.610 - try to work around Xft and Xrender forcing everything to be 100%
147     transparent. Long Live Xft!
148     - do not include X11/Intrinsic.h anymore, directly use
149     Xlib/Xutil/Xresource directly.
150 root 1.612 - try to find a nearest matching color when color allocation fails
151     on a pseudocolor screen.
152 root 1.610 - SYNCCVS: compared to rxvt-cvs 2006-01-28, no relevant changes.
153     - fix version report (DA) (which was unfortunately broken).
154     - changed version number report again, now to emulate xterm closer.
155     - added the OSC sequence 702 to detect the urxvt version number.
156     - small configure updates.
157 root 1.608 - further RTT optimisations.
158 root 1.598
159 root 1.597 7.4 Sat Jan 28 15:26:27 CET 2006
160 root 1.596 - screen background wasn't always erased properly when scrolling,
161     - re-enabled clearing optimisation disabled in 7.4pre.
162 root 1.597 - small configure updates for libptytty.
163     - fixed version options: line output.
164     - removed stoopid debugging message left in the code.
165 root 1.593
166 root 1.591 7.3 Wed Jan 25 22:47:35 CET 2006
167 root 1.575 - don't let iso14755 or mouse reporting get into the way of perl
168     (could lead to global grabs never being cleared).
169 root 1.579 - experimental OnTheSpot editing support (-pe xim-onthespot).
170 root 1.576 - moved Shift-Button2 paste combination to Meta-Button2.
171 root 1.582 - the cutchars resource will now be respected and used by the
172     selection extension.
173 root 1.586 - added the "remote-clipboard" extension which just runs external
174 root 1.584 commands to fetch and store the selection data.
175 root 1.589 - added -depth switch that tries to get a different visual depth
176     than the default (replaces the old PREFER_24_BIT logic).
177 root 1.573 - removed (unused) arabic presentation form composing sequences.
178 root 1.582 - be more strict when deciding that a core font glyph is too wide and
179     needs the careful rendering mode.
180     - allow more leeway for italic fonts when deciding that a character is
181     too wide and needs careful mode.
182 root 1.589 - redraw even more characters around characters using careful mode.
183 root 1.588 - made selection-pastebin fully asynchronous.
184 root 1.580 - reduced number of server turnarounds at startup by allocating
185     atoms only once per display.
186 root 1.586 - renamed on_keyboard_command to on_user_command.
187 root 1.578 - changed version sos (ESC [ > c) response to be more compatible with
188     xterm.
189 root 1.570
190 root 1.568 7.2 Sun Jan 22 21:58:16 CET 2006
191 root 1.563 - bugfix: urxvt (not urxvtd) did not correctly handle multiple
192     environments necessary, which resulted in segfaults within
193     getenv (reproducable: urxvt -fn 9x15, open a menu once,
194     ctrl-shift-672c).
195 root 1.560 - bugfix: the selection speedup in in 7.1 unfortunately caused
196 root 1.559 non-ascii characters to enlarge/move the selection.
197 root 1.567 - bugfix: resizing sometimes leaked lines from the secondary to
198     the primary screen.
199 root 1.568 - bugfix: reducing window size while large amounts of text were output
200     could lead to an assertion failure.
201 root 1.553 - added "tabbed" extension that provides a crude tabbed terminal.
202 root 1.554 - added "readline" extension that allows cursor positioning
203     via mouse clicks.
204 root 1.556 - now it is possible to insert the value of the CLIPBOARD selection
205 root 1.565 with shift - mouse button 2.
206 root 1.553 - fixed the automove-background extension to ignore coordinates
207     in non-synthetic events.
208 root 1.561 - created a separate libpty for portable and secure
209 root 1.565 pty/tty/utmp/wtmp/lastlog handling, and include it in rxvt-unicode.
210     - the non-terminfo visual bell now works asynchronously, so
211 root 1.563 continuous ASCI BELs in one terminal do no longer monopolise the
212     whole urxvt[d] process.
213     - support some *BSD makes (for the time being, gnu make is a safe bet).
214     - work around bugs in FreeBSD's gcc.
215     - implemented some *BSD fixes in configure.
216 root 1.556 - removed support for obsolete offix dnd protocol.
217 root 1.552
218 root 1.551 7.1 Thu Jan 19 20:25:34 CET 2006
219 root 1.542 - setuid/setgid operation is now _encouraged_: security has been
220     improved by moving privileged operations into a separate process
221     and permanently dropping privileges within the terminal. This
222     makes it possible to remove security checks from the perl code
223     and gives a much safer feeling when urxvt needs to run with
224     special privileges.
225     - perl taint checking disabled, as urxvt no longer runs setuid/setgid
226     itself.
227 root 1.543 - new perl extension automove-background that can be used to get
228     the same effect as pseudo-transparency with any pixmap.
229     - new perl extension example: perl/selection-pastebin, can be used to
230 root 1.542 e.g. upload the selection to a webserver and generate a url, or
231     similar stuff.
232 root 1.521 - use the scrollback buffer even when the scroll region doesn't
233 root 1.542 span the whole screen, as long as it starts at row 0. Helps
234     for programs displaying a status line at the bottom.
235 root 1.521 - selection popup now shows selection in dec/hex/oct.
236     - perl/selection: matching on unicode characters in the selection
237     code was O(n²), which equals infinity in some degenerate cases
238     :-> Matching is now done on UTF-8, which makes it almost instant.
239     - perl/selection, perl/selection-autotransform: regexes are now
240     being interpreted in the locale urxvt was started.
241 root 1.545 - implemented override-redirect option and enabled it on menus,
242     as kwin puts our windows behind the terminal (what a shoddy wm).
243 root 1.542 - fixed struct utmp check in configure for OpenBSD.
244 root 1.532 - complete overhaul of the pty/utmp management stuff and configure
245     (Emanuele Giaquinta).
246 root 1.542 - add tsl/fsl and related capabilities to the terminfo description,
247     to set the window title.
248     - swap the environment in some more cases. This hopefully fixes
249     some segfaults that might be caused by xft asking for env variables
250     at the wrong time.
251 root 1.530 - removed src/strings.C and src/menubar.C. No menubar support
252     anymore.
253 root 1.535 - removed all traces of SMOOTH_REFRESH.
254 root 1.531 - nuked QNX support.
255 root 1.544 - made some fixes to xpm offset and scaling code.
256 root 1.542 - perl-overlays and refresh hooks were not applied in correct order.
257     - changed coordinate-system of view_start/nsaved to be top to bottom.
258 root 1.547 - iom extended to support listening for child exits.
259 root 1.518
260 root 1.517 7.0 Fri Jan 13 14:02:18 CET 2006
261 root 1.500 - added sections for DISTRIBUTION MAINTAINERS and about
262 root 1.501 SETUID/SETGID to the FAQ.
263 root 1.503 - selection, searchable-scrollback, selection-popup and
264     option-popup extensions enabled by default.
265 root 1.502 - increased xft drawing speed for problematic fonts. The effect
266     will likely be small as 99% of the xft slowness is server-related.
267 root 1.499 - perl: much increased functionality, better overlays, popup support
268     and much much more.
269 root 1.493 - perl: urxvt::line now can set via ->t and ->r.
270 root 1.495 - perl: changed interpretation of --perl-ext-common and -pe.
271 root 1.496 - perl: finally implemented --perl-eval.
272 root 1.499 - perl: non-blocking anyevent support.
273     - perl: run tainted and ignore perl-eval/perl-lib if started
274 root 1.498 setuid/setgid.
275 root 1.499 - free the resource database: this plugs a massive memory leak. As a
276 root 1.497 side effect, it also gets rid of XGetDefault calls.
277 root 1.499 - free one of the cursors, fixes a small memory leak.
278 root 1.503 - built-in (as opposed to terminfos) visual bell was broken/too fast.
279 root 1.504 - applied minor cleanups by Ladislav Michnovic.
280 root 1.514 - applied pty handling cleanups and improvements (Emanuele Giaquinta).
281 root 1.505 - mark-urls launch-on-click by jepler.
282 root 1.506 - removed "small" resource parsing function, as it wasn't really
283     compatible, and not really small either.
284     - removed PATH_ENV and PATH file search support.
285     - removed support for locale-specific app-defaults file.
286 root 1.510 - fixed a bug where out-of-bounds colour sequences could lead
287     to crashes.
288 root 1.511 - limit colour changing to the standard 88 palette instead of all
289     colours.
290 root 1.510 - XTerm_Color01 sequence returned wrong results in query mode.
291 root 1.513 - iom.C now checks against destructed io_manager when unregistering.
292 root 1.493
293 root 1.491 6.3 Wed Jan 4 22:37:10 CET 2006
294 root 1.484 - SECURITY FIX: on systems using openpty, permissions were
295     not correctly updated on the tty device and were left as
296     world-readable and world-writable (likely in original rxvt,
297 root 1.489 too), and were not restored properly. Affected are only
298     systems where non-unix ptys were used (such as most BSDs, not
299     GNU/Linux). (found, patched and debugged by Ryan Beasley).
300 root 1.481 - meta8 support was forcefully enabled in most configurations.
301     restored configurability of this (useless) feature (reported
302 root 1.488 by Mikachu).
303 root 1.477 - optionally embed a perl interpreter, which can be used for more
304     intelligent/customized selection support, visual feedback,
305 root 1.478 menus, tabs etc. See the the urxvtperl manpage, the -pe option,
306 root 1.481 perl*-resources and keysym resources. Not everything is there yet.
307 root 1.486 - try to be more clever about differing font sizes and their ascent.
308 root 1.488 Not guarenteed to work, but works better in most cases now.
309 root 1.475 - fix directory permissions on install.
310 root 1.490 - implemented option to disable built-in line drawing characters
311 root 1.488 and fall back to the font ones (patch by Martin Pohlack).
312 root 1.487 - disabled sched_yield support: the linux version is just too useless
313     (it schedules nice'd processes before the own one for extended
314     periods). Too bad, it could reduce system time by a factor of 5 here.
315 root 1.474
316 root 1.473 6.2 Mon Jan 2 16:03:01 CET 2006
317 root 1.465 - implemented intensityStyles option which enables/disables bold/blink
318     selecting high intensity foreground/background colours, suggested by
319     Chuck Blake.
320 root 1.466 - move iso14755 character feedback box out of the way if it would
321     obscure the mouse cursor position.
322 root 1.463 - replaced callback.h by a fixed version from gvpe that correctly
323 root 1.464 returns the callback result (affects new -pty-fd semantics in urxvtc
324     on a few architectures). Reported by darix.
325 root 1.469 - include one trailing space in rectangular selections to indicate
326     the inserted newline (yeah, weird, but visually more pleasing).
327 root 1.472 - try to use sched_yield to (drastically) improve terminal data
328     transfer efficiency.
329 root 1.467 - further minor cleanups.
330 root 1.463
331 root 1.461 6.1 Tue Dec 27 13:23:40 CET 2005
332 root 1.454 - update iso8859-7 table (euro and drachma round-trip et al.).
333 root 1.452 - fix a crash when the selection scrolls out of the scrollback
334     while the user still drags.
335 root 1.453 - selections that were partially scrolled out of the window were
336     not drawn correctly.
337 root 1.455 - lines newly scrolled in were not initialized properly, leading
338     to extremely long lines and (hopefully) some segfaults.
339 root 1.457 - iso14755 overlay position was wrong.
340     - iso14755 overlay now displays rendition info, too.
341 root 1.459 - use unicode white space class instead of hardcoded values for
342     stripping whitespace.
343 root 1.458 - do whitespace stripping on rectangular selections.
344 root 1.460 - slight cleanups in src/features.h.
345 root 1.452
346 root 1.449 6.0 Sat Dec 24 13:58:56 CET 2005
347 root 1.437 - make it compile without SMART_RESIZE again.
348 root 1.439 - enable slow link support by default.
349 root 1.441 - fix relative cursor-positioning not respecting scrolling regions
350     (also a bug in original rxvt).
351 root 1.442 - initialize termios structure to zero when fetching it fails
352     (see http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=84647 for a
353     partial patch).
354     - bump max columns/rows to 10000 each.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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