13 root 1.660 TODO: kick out xpm.C, replace by pixbuf
14 root 1.689 TODO: investigate -pe tabbed -g 80x25 being 23 not 24 or 25 lines
15     => when setting the constraints, the wm might (correctly)
16     resize the outer window, which might result in a smaller window overall.
17     or something like that. guys, send me a patch.
18 root 1.690 TODO: zero scorllback buffer should free memory
19     TODO: debian integration
20 root 1.659 WISH: skipscroll option
21 root 1.671 WISH: selection-color-pair instead of reverse video
22 root 1.659 WISH: load system-wide config file even if we don't have one
23 root 1.611 WISH: look into XAddConnectionWatch, does anybody need that?
24 root 1.566 WISH: anyevent mouse notification / manage MotionMask better.
25 root 1.690 WISH: http://www120.pair.com/mccarthy/nextstep/intro.htmld/Workspace.html is the correct nextstep scrollbar look.
26 root 1.563 DUMB: support tex fonts
27 root 1.346
28 root 1.691 - fix urxvtc.1.pod: it actually claimed -pty-fd would not work. But
29     it does! :->
30    
31 root 1.690 7.8 Mon Jul 17 21:00:46 CEST 2006
32 root 1.684 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: this version will always read ~/.Xdefaults,
33     earlier versions only read it if display-resources (usually from
34     .Xresources) are not set. This avoids the #1 FAQ ("why isn't my
35     resource used") and seems to be logical behaviour, too. .Xdefaults
36     resources have a lower priority than display-specific resources.
37 root 1.688 - add "kuake" perl extension that does a similar thing to the kuake
38     terminal emulator (see man urxtvperl).
39 root 1.684 - use less "correct" color scaling that is compatible with libX11 and
40     Xft (avoids off-by-one colors resulting in striped backgrounds).
41 root 1.678 - the "depth" resource is now respected.
42 root 1.684 - preset the searchable-scrollback pattern with "(?i)" to default search
43     to case-insensitivity. Will automatically be cleared when typing an
44     uppercase character.
45 root 1.661 - add FORCE_UNBUFFERED_XFT define to features.h.
46 root 1.684 - re-enabled highlightcolor support with --enable-frills, based on
47     a patch by Martin Stubenschrott.
48 root 1.668 - double-buffered xft drawing did suffer from pixel offset issues
49     when pixmap transparency was enabled.
50 root 1.685 - strategically add # to the url-match regexes, as we really want to
51     match common URIs not common URLs. Reported by Aaron Griffin.
52 root 1.662 - moved on_osc_seq to on_osc_seq_perl and added a more
53     generic osc_seq.
54 root 1.664 - fix a bug causing double callback invocations when perl hooks
55     were invoked recursively.
56 root 1.665 - the automove-background extension now properly works when the
57     pixmap gets reset with an osc sequence (sqweek).
58 root 1.667 - selection-pastebin did not work properly with non-latin1-characters.
59 root 1.673 - apply colorUL only when the text colour is the default fg
60     (patch by Wu Fengguang).
61     - removed rxvtlib.h from the tarball, it had no reason to be there
62 root 1.670 (spotted by Decklin Foster).
63     - fix compiling with TRANSPARENT but !XPM_BACKGROUND, as reported
64     by omatunto_.
65 root 1.671 - slap in a using namespace std, might help on platforms that don't
66     follow C++ closely enough.
67 root 1.676 - fix mailto url regex, spotted within milliseconds by Jost Krieger.
68 root 1.682 - applied fade_color_update_func.patch by WU Fengguang.
69 root 1.683 - fix a bug where (due to an optimisation in av_delete), hiding the
70     bottom-most overlay would hide two overlays.
71 root 1.661
72 root 1.658 7.7 Tue Feb 21 12:32:49 CET 2006
73 root 1.653 - use double-buffered drawing (xft fonts only). On many driver/hardware
74 root 1.649 combination this actually increases xft drawing speed, at the expense
75     of more network bandwidth and slight nausea on the side of the author.
76 root 1.646 - readline perl extension now requires shift-click instead of a normal
77 root 1.657 click, and eats the click.
78 root 1.656 - tabbed perl extension now supports -e.
79 root 1.649 - disabled graphics-exposures on the main drawing GC, report any
80     refresh bugs please.
81 root 1.646 - improve property handling for -pe tabbed: avoid unnecessary property
82 root 1.645 changes (for kde's benefit) at the expense of extra round-trips,
83     improve size hint setting.
84 root 1.646 - modified XIM according to a patch sent by Takano Akio that sets
85     the preedit rectangle for OverTheSpot, which helps some input methods
86     to correctly position their preedit window.
87 root 1.647 - un-optimise the line clearing on newly scrolled-in lines a bit: the
88     former reasoning was that any fg colour on default bg looks the same
89 root 1.666 in empty spaces, but thats not true when reversing (e.g. selection),
90 root 1.647 so also check for matching fg colours. This fixes the problem where
91     selecting newly scrolled-in lines would exhibit wrong colours.
92 root 1.655 - fix a bug in the perl interface causing focus in events to generate
93     focus out perl events, causing bad focus effects with -pe tabbed.
94 root 1.648 - fix a race resulting in a crash on exiting.
95 root 1.651 - fix a with --disable-xft that caused xfreecolors to be called on
96 root 1.652 colors never allocated, resulting in aborts (reported by Paco-Paco).
97     - resources on non-initial screens weren't refetched correctly
98     (reported by Paco-Paco).
99 root 1.650 - fix a bug in xcopyarea pass and _disable_ it, as it seems not to be
100     working in either rxvt-unicode nor in the original rxvt.
101 root 1.656 - removed undocumented -exec alias for the -e option.
102 root 1.645
103 root 1.644 7.6 Fri Feb 10 08:52:36 CET 2006
104 root 1.619 - changed interpretation of [alpha] colour prefix.
105 root 1.620 - +option now really sets the option to default, instead of using the
106     resource value.
107 root 1.627 - options that require an argument now really _require_ an argument.
108 root 1.634 - the tabbed extension now forwards focus and keys events to th
109     relevant tab window.
110     - tab colours are now configurable and have sensible defaults
111     (initial patch by hednod).
112 root 1.639 - option menu is extendable, readline, selection and
113     selection-autotransform can now be disabled/enabled at runtime.
114 root 1.638 - forcing a configure event to tabbed subwindows with -pe tabbed, for
115     the benefit of automove-background.
116 root 1.635 - the automove-background extension added a wrong constant offset.
117 root 1.628 - force refresh of XA_RESOURCE_STRING on virtual reconnect.
118 root 1.627 - return exit status 2 in urxvtc when urxvtd couldn't be contacted.
119 root 1.622 - the linux yield hack is back, now using usleep, and enabled only on
120     __linux__.
121 root 1.619 - further round trip eliminations in the !XFT case by remembering
122     the colour components.
123 root 1.620 - plain scrollbar works better with -sr.
124     - fixed half-shadow scrollbar look.
125 root 1.625 - more colour rtt optimisations.
126     - properly(?) free colours on window close.
127 root 1.621 - reorganised the FAQ into multiple sections.
128 root 1.633 - add ISO646.1991-IRV to the list of supported codesets.
129 root 1.643 - minor libptytty update.
130 root 1.617
131 root 1.618 7.5 Tue Jan 31 15:15:43 CET 2006
132 root 1.610 - further improvements to the careful mode detection, and font width
133 root 1.609 detection:
134     - fully double-wide fonts will now be correctly treated,
135     - overlap detection was improved.
136     - detect totally broken fonts (usually synthesized by xft).
137     - careful mode forced refresh sometimes clashed with blinking,
138     causing unnecessary screen redraws.
139     - better handling of XFT combining characters.
140     - enable antialiasing for some replacement fonts, as they
141     might get used for other encodings which really need it, later.
142     - remove spacing=100 from all default fonts, as this creates totally
143     weird spacing (5 times normal) with xft.
144 root 1.610 - removed iso10646 fallback, as xorgs iso10646 encoded fonts are mostly
145     broken.
146     - removed gnu unifont fallback, all combining characters are broken.
147 root 1.608 - replace named colours by xorg's rgb.txt equivalents, to
148     reduce round trip time on startup, and short-cut allocation
149 root 1.611 of rgb:rr/gg/bb for xft.
150 root 1.615 - short-cut allocation of rgb values in the xlib case
151 root 1.611 (patch by Paco-Paco).
152 root 1.610 - overhauled color management: smaller codesize, alpha support.
153 root 1.614 - support "rgba:rrrr/gggg/bbbb/aaaa" color specifications and
154     an "[alpha]" prefix.
155 root 1.610 - try to work around Xft and Xrender forcing everything to be 100%
156     transparent. Long Live Xft!
157     - do not include X11/Intrinsic.h anymore, directly use
158     Xlib/Xutil/Xresource directly.
159 root 1.612 - try to find a nearest matching color when color allocation fails
160     on a pseudocolor screen.
161 root 1.610 - SYNCCVS: compared to rxvt-cvs 2006-01-28, no relevant changes.
162     - fix version report (DA) (which was unfortunately broken).
163     - changed version number report again, now to emulate xterm closer.
164     - added the OSC sequence 702 to detect the urxvt version number.
165     - small configure updates.
166 root 1.608 - further RTT optimisations.
167 root 1.687 - backported clean-up patches for makefiles and documentation from
168     the debian package.
169 root 1.686 - updated doc/rxvt-unicode.spec file. It's still not maintained here,
170     but much newer than the old one.
171 root 1.598
172 root 1.597 7.4 Sat Jan 28 15:26:27 CET 2006
173 root 1.596 - screen background wasn't always erased properly when scrolling,
174     - re-enabled clearing optimisation disabled in 7.4pre.
175 root 1.597 - small configure updates for libptytty.
176     - fixed version options: line output.
177     - removed stoopid debugging message left in the code.
178 root 1.593
179 root 1.591 7.3 Wed Jan 25 22:47:35 CET 2006
180 root 1.575 - don't let iso14755 or mouse reporting get into the way of perl
181     (could lead to global grabs never being cleared).
182 root 1.579 - experimental OnTheSpot editing support (-pe xim-onthespot).
183 root 1.576 - moved Shift-Button2 paste combination to Meta-Button2.
184 root 1.582 - the cutchars resource will now be respected and used by the
185     selection extension.
186 root 1.586 - added the "remote-clipboard" extension which just runs external
187 root 1.584 commands to fetch and store the selection data.
188 root 1.589 - added -depth switch that tries to get a different visual depth
189     than the default (replaces the old PREFER_24_BIT logic).
190 root 1.573 - removed (unused) arabic presentation form composing sequences.
191 root 1.582 - be more strict when deciding that a core font glyph is too wide and
192     needs the careful rendering mode.
193     - allow more leeway for italic fonts when deciding that a character is
194     too wide and needs careful mode.
195 root 1.589 - redraw even more characters around characters using careful mode.
196 root 1.588 - made selection-pastebin fully asynchronous.
197 root 1.580 - reduced number of server turnarounds at startup by allocating
198     atoms only once per display.
199 root 1.586 - renamed on_keyboard_command to on_user_command.
200 root 1.578 - changed version sos (ESC [ > c) response to be more compatible with
201     xterm.
202 root 1.570
203 root 1.568 7.2 Sun Jan 22 21:58:16 CET 2006
204 root 1.563 - bugfix: urxvt (not urxvtd) did not correctly handle multiple
205     environments necessary, which resulted in segfaults within
206     getenv (reproducable: urxvt -fn 9x15, open a menu once,
207     ctrl-shift-672c).
208 root 1.560 - bugfix: the selection speedup in in 7.1 unfortunately caused
209 root 1.559 non-ascii characters to enlarge/move the selection.
210 root 1.567 - bugfix: resizing sometimes leaked lines from the secondary to
211     the primary screen.
212 root 1.568 - bugfix: reducing window size while large amounts of text were output
213     could lead to an assertion failure.
214 root 1.553 - added "tabbed" extension that provides a crude tabbed terminal.
215 root 1.554 - added "readline" extension that allows cursor positioning
216     via mouse clicks.
217 root 1.556 - now it is possible to insert the value of the CLIPBOARD selection
218 root 1.565 with shift - mouse button 2.
219 root 1.553 - fixed the automove-background extension to ignore coordinates
220     in non-synthetic events.
221 root 1.561 - created a separate libpty for portable and secure
222 root 1.565 pty/tty/utmp/wtmp/lastlog handling, and include it in rxvt-unicode.
223     - the non-terminfo visual bell now works asynchronously, so
224 root 1.563 continuous ASCI BELs in one terminal do no longer monopolise the
225     whole urxvt[d] process.
226     - support some *BSD makes (for the time being, gnu make is a safe bet).
227     - work around bugs in FreeBSD's gcc.
228     - implemented some *BSD fixes in configure.
229 root 1.556 - removed support for obsolete offix dnd protocol.
230 root 1.552
231 root 1.551 7.1 Thu Jan 19 20:25:34 CET 2006
232 root 1.542 - setuid/setgid operation is now _encouraged_: security has been
233     improved by moving privileged operations into a separate process
234     and permanently dropping privileges within the terminal. This
235     makes it possible to remove security checks from the perl code
236     and gives a much safer feeling when urxvt needs to run with
237     special privileges.
238     - perl taint checking disabled, as urxvt no longer runs setuid/setgid
239     itself.
240 root 1.543 - new perl extension automove-background that can be used to get
241     the same effect as pseudo-transparency with any pixmap.
242     - new perl extension example: perl/selection-pastebin, can be used to
243 root 1.542 e.g. upload the selection to a webserver and generate a url, or
244     similar stuff.
245 root 1.521 - use the scrollback buffer even when the scroll region doesn't
246 root 1.542 span the whole screen, as long as it starts at row 0. Helps
247     for programs displaying a status line at the bottom.
248 root 1.521 - selection popup now shows selection in dec/hex/oct.
249     - perl/selection: matching on unicode characters in the selection
250     code was O(n²), which equals infinity in some degenerate cases
251     :-> Matching is now done on UTF-8, which makes it almost instant.
252     - perl/selection, perl/selection-autotransform: regexes are now
253     being interpreted in the locale urxvt was started.
254 root 1.545 - implemented override-redirect option and enabled it on menus,
255     as kwin puts our windows behind the terminal (what a shoddy wm).
256 root 1.542 - fixed struct utmp check in configure for OpenBSD.
257 root 1.532 - complete overhaul of the pty/utmp management stuff and configure
258     (Emanuele Giaquinta).
259 root 1.542 - add tsl/fsl and related capabilities to the terminfo description,
260     to set the window title.
261     - swap the environment in some more cases. This hopefully fixes
262     some segfaults that might be caused by xft asking for env variables
263     at the wrong time.
264 root 1.530 - removed src/strings.C and src/menubar.C. No menubar support
265     anymore.
266 root 1.535 - removed all traces of SMOOTH_REFRESH.
267 root 1.531 - nuked QNX support.
268 root 1.544 - made some fixes to xpm offset and scaling code.
269 root 1.542 - perl-overlays and refresh hooks were not applied in correct order.
270     - changed coordinate-system of view_start/nsaved to be top to bottom.
271 root 1.547 - iom extended to support listening for child exits.
272 root 1.518
273 root 1.517 7.0 Fri Jan 13 14:02:18 CET 2006
274 root 1.500 - added sections for DISTRIBUTION MAINTAINERS and about
275 root 1.501 SETUID/SETGID to the FAQ.
276 root 1.503 - selection, searchable-scrollback, selection-popup and
277     option-popup extensions enabled by default.
278 root 1.502 - increased xft drawing speed for problematic fonts. The effect
279     will likely be small as 99% of the xft slowness is server-related.
280 root 1.499 - perl: much increased functionality, better overlays, popup support
281     and much much more.
282 root 1.493 - perl: urxvt::line now can set via ->t and ->r.
283 root 1.495 - perl: changed interpretation of --perl-ext-common and -pe.
284 root 1.496 - perl: finally implemented --perl-eval.
285 root 1.499 - perl: non-blocking anyevent support.
286     - perl: run tainted and ignore perl-eval/perl-lib if started
287 root 1.498 setuid/setgid.
288 root 1.499 - free the resource database: this plugs a massive memory leak. As a
289 root 1.497 side effect, it also gets rid of XGetDefault calls.
290 root 1.499 - free one of the cursors, fixes a small memory leak.
291 root 1.503 - built-in (as opposed to terminfos) visual bell was broken/too fast.
292 root 1.504 - applied minor cleanups by Ladislav Michnovic.
293 root 1.514 - applied pty handling cleanups and improvements (Emanuele Giaquinta).
294 root 1.505 - mark-urls launch-on-click by jepler.
295 root 1.506 - removed "small" resource parsing function, as it wasn't really
296     compatible, and not really small either.
297     - removed PATH_ENV and PATH file search support.
298     - removed support for locale-specific app-defaults file.
299 root 1.510 - fixed a bug where out-of-bounds colour sequences could lead
300     to crashes.
301 root 1.511 - limit colour changing to the standard 88 palette instead of all
302     colours.
303 root 1.510 - XTerm_Color01 sequence returned wrong results in query mode.
304 root 1.513 - iom.C now checks against destructed io_manager when unregistering.
305 root 1.493
306 root 1.491 6.3 Wed Jan 4 22:37:10 CET 2006
307 root 1.484 - SECURITY FIX: on systems using openpty, permissions were
308     not correctly updated on the tty device and were left as
309     world-readable and world-writable (likely in original rxvt,
310 root 1.489 too), and were not restored properly. Affected are only
311     systems where non-unix ptys were used (such as most BSDs, not
312     GNU/Linux). (found, patched and debugged by Ryan Beasley).
313 root 1.481 - meta8 support was forcefully enabled in most configurations.
314     restored configurability of this (useless) feature (reported
315 root 1.488 by Mikachu).
316 root 1.477 - optionally embed a perl interpreter, which can be used for more
317     intelligent/customized selection support, visual feedback,
318 root 1.478 menus, tabs etc. See the the urxvtperl manpage, the -pe option,
319 root 1.481 perl*-resources and keysym resources. Not everything is there yet.
320 root 1.486 - try to be more clever about differing font sizes and their ascent.
321 root 1.488 Not guarenteed to work, but works better in most cases now.
322 root 1.475 - fix directory permissions on install.
323 root 1.490 - implemented option to disable built-in line drawing characters
324 root 1.488 and fall back to the font ones (patch by Martin Pohlack).
325 root 1.487 - disabled sched_yield support: the linux version is just too useless
326     (it schedules nice'd processes before the own one for extended
327     periods). Too bad, it could reduce system time by a factor of 5 here.
328 root 1.474
329 root 1.473 6.2 Mon Jan 2 16:03:01 CET 2006
330 root 1.465 - implemented intensityStyles option which enables/disables bold/blink
331     selecting high intensity foreground/background colours, suggested by
332     Chuck Blake.
333 root 1.466 - move iso14755 character feedback box out of the way if it would
334     obscure the mouse cursor position.
335 root 1.463 - replaced callback.h by a fixed version from gvpe that correctly
336 root 1.464 returns the callback result (affects new -pty-fd semantics in urxvtc
337     on a few architectures). Reported by darix.
338 root 1.469 - include one trailing space in rectangular selections to indicate
339     the inserted newline (yeah, weird, but visually more pleasing).
340 root 1.472 - try to use sched_yield to (drastically) improve terminal data
341     transfer efficiency.
342 root 1.467 - further minor cleanups.
343 root 1.463
344 root 1.461 6.1 Tue Dec 27 13:23:40 CET 2005
345 root 1.454 - update iso8859-7 table (euro and drachma round-trip et al.).
346 root 1.452 - fix a crash when the selection scrolls out of the scrollback
347     while the user still drags.
348 root 1.453 - selections that were partially scrolled out of the window were
349     not drawn correctly.
350 root 1.455 - lines newly scrolled in were not initialized properly, leading
351     to extremely long lines and (hopefully) some segfaults.
352 root 1.457 - iso14755 overlay position was wrong.
353     - iso14755 overlay now displays rendition info, too.
354 root 1.459 - use unicode white space class instead of hardcoded values for

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

464     - properly update WM_LOCALE.
465 root 1.430 - implement _NET_WM_PING protocol.

484     - change terminfo file to not clobber G1 when using
485     line-drawing characters, as this seems to mess
486     with EUC-JP (it will clobber G0, but G0 practically
487     needs to be US-ASCII all the time).

555     - remove default key sequence for unknown keys again, as this
556     can be achieved by customizing the keyboard now.
557     - fix some freeing problems when destroying the rxvt_display,
558     resulting in segfaults.
559     - don't crash when the saved cursor position doesn't fit on the
560     screen (wrong assert in original rxvt, reported by ikaro).
561     - fix signed/unsigned bugs on wc<->mb conversions.
562     - reset slipwheel scrolling speed when reaching the top or bottom
563     (Mikael Magnusson).
564     - for core fonts, use ascent + descent when a font is loaded,
565     and PIXEL_SIZE when not. when loading a font, iterate until a

571     - fixed linespace option, which ought to work now (and is dependent
572     on frills, not on it's own configure option).
573     - include pty.h, if available (cygwin).
574     - removed W11 directory from dist, it wasn't used anyway.

592     - streamline atom and xft color allocation to reduce startup
593     time (12.8s -> 7.8s on my dsl). Still, doing it with only 2-3
594     turnarounds would be much faster, but impossible to implement(?).
595     - implement underlineColor resource when ENABLE_FRILLS.
596     - iom left it's signal pipe handle open in the child

623     - fix off-by-one bug with wide characters at the end of a line,
624     which got partially overwritten by spaces.
625     - as xlib is completely broken with respect to utf-8 handling
626     and nobody is going to fix it, that part has been re-implemented.
627     should fix most paste problems between apps that use UTF8 encoding
628     and rxvt running in a lesser-supported locale (thanks to Robin Redeker

677     - changed CN to ZH everywhere (sorry for the confusion).
678     - move XFilterEvent up, as some input method seem to want events
679     for windows not requesting XIM. Please report if this change
680     causes any harm (specially with pointerblanking)
681     (patch by Kuang-che Wu).
682     - send the input method spot position on every refresh, not just
683     when rxvt thinks it should (which was not often enough...).
684     - fix double-wide combining characters (it might look a bit ugly,
685     though, but common cases are handled by normalization anyways).
686     - moved FAQ to rxvt(7), also made a copy into README.FAQ.
687     - fix a bug(?) in the XIM destroy callback.
688     - be more conservative when trying to register new input methods,
689     as Xlib races might make rxvt crash. When two or more
690     input methods are active, killing one probably still crashes rxvt
691     due to that bug :( Thanks a lot to Kuang-che Wu for immense help

710     - fixed a long-standing rxvt bug in which rxvt failed to save
711     and restore the correct cursor position on the secondary screen.
712     - reworked rxvt-unicode terminfo to allow more efficient and less flickering
713     screen updates with curses.
714     - wide characters that are being halfway overwritten are now replaced
715     by spaces.
716     - urxvtc now transmits urxvt as default name, not urxvtc anymore
717     (likewise for other names chosen at configure time).
718     - disabled the automatic font lookup for unknown characters. xft
719     is just too slow for this to work.
720     - changed realbold code, implemented _real_ bold and italic support,
721     where _real_ means the symbiosis of what I want with what I can

723     - removed 256 color mode, but enable 88 colours in all modes
724     (88 to be compatible with 88 colour xterm which is widely
725     supported, and most programs assume a non-iso colourtable
726     for terminals with "odd" number of colours).
727     - added doc/etc/rxvt-unicode.terminfo which is a big overhaul

732     speeds up output immensely in case a character cannot be found
733     (only for non-bold right now).
734     - fix segfault in fading code on certain escape sequences.
735     - better default font size and style.
736     - rxvt-unicode is now much more picky about fonts not fitting
737     into the base font, but to offset this it will check each
738     single character against the base font extents and will only
739     use the characters fitting into the bounding box (+ some fudge).
740     - characters not fitting into the base boundary box will now often
741     be used anyways, but the following characters will be redrawn
742     more often to avoid pixel-droppings. This is like the original
743     rxvt pixel-dropping pass but it's much faster.
744     - scrollColor now affects plain scrollbar (Mikael Magnusson).
745     - fixed segfault in overlay code when height was larger than the
746     screen height.
747     - cursor no longer shines "through" the overlay.
748     - 7-bit ST marker detection was broken.
749     - scrollbar didn't come back sometimes when switching it
750     off/on using escape sequences (Mikael Magnusson).
751     - fix lots of colour problems with focus fading.
752     - $COLORFGBG was not set as documented.
753     - fix iso 14755 5.1 support when --enable-frills but --disable-iso14755.
754     - removed OSC 702.
755     - disabled MOUSE_REPORT_DOUBLECLICK by default, as programs seem to be
756     confused by it rather than using it.

759     - new configure option --enable-iso14755.
760 root 1.430 - full iso 14755 conformance (at least I claim so :).
761     - extended the FAQ section in the manpage.
762 root 1.194 - fix OverTheSpot and OffTheSpot editing, which was broken since ages,
763 root 1.430 due to no fontset being available. The fontset used is a very rough
764     approximation to the rxvt font, though. This fixes the
765     "cannot create input context" in most cases.
766     - fix coordinates used for Over && OffTheSpot editing to fit directly
767     at the cursor (Over) or into the top line (Off).
768     - reset SIGHUP and SIGPIPE handlers to default values (they were
769     previously being ignored, causing programs not to exit on windoe
770     close).
771     - implemented simple overlays for feedback messages. believe it or
772     not, this was a major blocker in implementing tabbed terminals.
773     - fix compiling with --disable-frills (Adam Sampson).
774     - clarify bold docs in README.unicode (Adam Sampson).
775 root 1.194 - fix crash on window close when the input method or context
776 root 1.430 could not be created.
777     - add work around for badly written programs (see debian bug
778     #202497). This is _not_ a bug in rxvt but rather a race
779     condition in other programs (e.g. jed). It works by forcefully
780     sending SIGWINCH when rxvt sees the first output from the
781     command. This workaround isn't perfect (a slight cost to
782     wellbehaving programs who need to resize twice), but it usually
783     works.
784 root 1.194 - set correct pixel size in struct winsize.
785 root 1.430 - document more escape sequences.
786     - fix leftover macros and a few minor doc glitches in rxvt(1).
787     - work around bash's assumption that stepping into the middle of a
788     character is a sensible operation.
789     - fix some corner cases in autowrap handling.
790     - remove various useless make cruft, renamed files to better
791     reflect on their function, renamed many variables.
792     - fixed printscreen functionality, as noted by Jinesh Choksi.
793     - fix a problem where redraws of double-width characters sometimes
794     made the last character draw with normal width (especially visible
795     with selections).

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