10 root 1.689 TODO: investigate -pe tabbed -g 80x25 being 23 not 24 or 25 lines
11     => when setting the constraints, the wm might (correctly)
12     resize the outer window, which might result in a smaller window overall.
13     or something like that. guys, send me a patch.
14 root 1.694 TODO: zeroing scorllback buffer should free memory
15 root 1.659 WISH: skipscroll option
16 root 1.671 WISH: selection-color-pair instead of reverse video
17 root 1.659 WISH: load system-wide config file even if we don't have one
18 root 1.611 WISH: look into XAddConnectionWatch, does anybody need that?
19 root 1.566 WISH: anyevent mouse notification / manage MotionMask better.
20 root 1.690 WISH: http://www120.pair.com/mccarthy/nextstep/intro.htmld/Workspace.html is the correct nextstep scrollbar look.
21 root 1.694 WISH: kick out xpm.C, replace by pixbuf
22 root 1.563 DUMB: support tex fonts
23 root 1.346
24 root 1.699 TODO: fix crash because strwidth returning -1 in selection-popup in LC_ALL=C
25     - give proper diagnostic when RXVT_SOCKET is too long instead of
26     corrupting the stack (patch by exg).
27 root 1.698
28 root 1.696 7.9 Mon Aug 7 18:16:07 CEST 2006
29     - fix the crashing bug people encountered with 7.8 + urxvtd + perl
30 root 1.697 + transparency. Ought to fix debian bug #380348.
31 root 1.691 - fix urxvtc.1.pod: it actually claimed -pty-fd would not work. But
32     it does! :->
33 root 1.692 - rxvt_fatal() in case the locale string is too long for our static buffer.
34 root 1.696 - fixed many, many, typos in the manpages (patch supplied by ves).
35 root 1.691
36 root 1.690 7.8 Mon Jul 17 21:00:46 CEST 2006
37 root 1.684 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: this version will always read ~/.Xdefaults,
38     earlier versions only read it if display-resources (usually from
39     .Xresources) are not set. This avoids the #1 FAQ ("why isn't my
40     resource used") and seems to be logical behaviour, too. .Xdefaults
41     resources have a lower priority than display-specific resources.
42 root 1.688 - add "kuake" perl extension that does a similar thing to the kuake
43     terminal emulator (see man urxtvperl).
44 root 1.684 - use less "correct" color scaling that is compatible with libX11 and
45     Xft (avoids off-by-one colors resulting in striped backgrounds).
46 root 1.678 - the "depth" resource is now respected.
47 root 1.684 - preset the searchable-scrollback pattern with "(?i)" to default search
48     to case-insensitivity. Will automatically be cleared when typing an
49     uppercase character.
50 root 1.661 - add FORCE_UNBUFFERED_XFT define to features.h.
51 root 1.684 - re-enabled highlightcolor support with --enable-frills, based on
52     a patch by Martin Stubenschrott.
53 root 1.668 - double-buffered xft drawing did suffer from pixel offset issues
54     when pixmap transparency was enabled.
55 root 1.685 - strategically add # to the url-match regexes, as we really want to
56     match common URIs not common URLs. Reported by Aaron Griffin.
57 root 1.662 - moved on_osc_seq to on_osc_seq_perl and added a more
58     generic osc_seq.
59 root 1.664 - fix a bug causing double callback invocations when perl hooks
60     were invoked recursively.
61 root 1.665 - the automove-background extension now properly works when the
62     pixmap gets reset with an osc sequence (sqweek).
63 root 1.667 - selection-pastebin did not work properly with non-latin1-characters.
64 root 1.673 - apply colorUL only when the text colour is the default fg
65     (patch by Wu Fengguang).
66     - removed rxvtlib.h from the tarball, it had no reason to be there
67 root 1.670 (spotted by Decklin Foster).
68     - fix compiling with TRANSPARENT but !XPM_BACKGROUND, as reported
69     by omatunto_.
70 root 1.671 - slap in a using namespace std, might help on platforms that don't
71     follow C++ closely enough.
72 root 1.676 - fix mailto url regex, spotted within milliseconds by Jost Krieger.
73 root 1.682 - applied fade_color_update_func.patch by WU Fengguang.
74 root 1.683 - fix a bug where (due to an optimisation in av_delete), hiding the
75     bottom-most overlay would hide two overlays.
76 root 1.661
77 root 1.658 7.7 Tue Feb 21 12:32:49 CET 2006
78 root 1.653 - use double-buffered drawing (xft fonts only). On many driver/hardware
79 root 1.649 combination this actually increases xft drawing speed, at the expense
80     of more network bandwidth and slight nausea on the side of the author.
81 root 1.646 - readline perl extension now requires shift-click instead of a normal
82 root 1.657 click, and eats the click.
83 root 1.656 - tabbed perl extension now supports -e.
84 root 1.649 - disabled graphics-exposures on the main drawing GC, report any
85     refresh bugs please.
86 root 1.646 - improve property handling for -pe tabbed: avoid unnecessary property
87 root 1.645 changes (for kde's benefit) at the expense of extra round-trips,
88     improve size hint setting.
89 root 1.646 - modified XIM according to a patch sent by Takano Akio that sets
90     the preedit rectangle for OverTheSpot, which helps some input methods
91     to correctly position their preedit window.
92 root 1.647 - un-optimise the line clearing on newly scrolled-in lines a bit: the
93     former reasoning was that any fg colour on default bg looks the same
94 root 1.666 in empty spaces, but thats not true when reversing (e.g. selection),
95 root 1.647 so also check for matching fg colours. This fixes the problem where
96     selecting newly scrolled-in lines would exhibit wrong colours.
97 root 1.655 - fix a bug in the perl interface causing focus in events to generate
98     focus out perl events, causing bad focus effects with -pe tabbed.
99 root 1.648 - fix a race resulting in a crash on exiting.
100 root 1.651 - fix a with --disable-xft that caused xfreecolors to be called on
101 root 1.652 colors never allocated, resulting in aborts (reported by Paco-Paco).
102     - resources on non-initial screens weren't refetched correctly
103     (reported by Paco-Paco).
104 root 1.650 - fix a bug in xcopyarea pass and _disable_ it, as it seems not to be
105     working in either rxvt-unicode nor in the original rxvt.
106 root 1.656 - removed undocumented -exec alias for the -e option.
107 root 1.645
108 root 1.644 7.6 Fri Feb 10 08:52:36 CET 2006
109 root 1.619 - changed interpretation of [alpha] colour prefix.
110 root 1.620 - +option now really sets the option to default, instead of using the
111     resource value.
112 root 1.627 - options that require an argument now really _require_ an argument.
113 root 1.634 - the tabbed extension now forwards focus and keys events to th
114     relevant tab window.
115     - tab colours are now configurable and have sensible defaults
116     (initial patch by hednod).
117 root 1.639 - option menu is extendable, readline, selection and
118     selection-autotransform can now be disabled/enabled at runtime.
119 root 1.638 - forcing a configure event to tabbed subwindows with -pe tabbed, for
120     the benefit of automove-background.
121 root 1.635 - the automove-background extension added a wrong constant offset.
122 root 1.628 - force refresh of XA_RESOURCE_STRING on virtual reconnect.
123 root 1.627 - return exit status 2 in urxvtc when urxvtd couldn't be contacted.
124 root 1.622 - the linux yield hack is back, now using usleep, and enabled only on
125     __linux__.
126 root 1.619 - further round trip eliminations in the !XFT case by remembering
127     the colour components.
128 root 1.620 - plain scrollbar works better with -sr.
129     - fixed half-shadow scrollbar look.
130 root 1.625 - more colour rtt optimisations.
131     - properly(?) free colours on window close.
132 root 1.621 - reorganised the FAQ into multiple sections.
133 root 1.633 - add ISO646.1991-IRV to the list of supported codesets.
134 root 1.643 - minor libptytty update.
135 root 1.617
136 root 1.618 7.5 Tue Jan 31 15:15:43 CET 2006
137 root 1.610 - further improvements to the careful mode detection, and font width
138 root 1.609 detection:
139     - fully double-wide fonts will now be correctly treated,
140     - overlap detection was improved.
141     - detect totally broken fonts (usually synthesized by xft).
142     - careful mode forced refresh sometimes clashed with blinking,
143     causing unnecessary screen redraws.
144     - better handling of XFT combining characters.
145     - enable antialiasing for some replacement fonts, as they
146     might get used for other encodings which really need it, later.
147     - remove spacing=100 from all default fonts, as this creates totally
148     weird spacing (5 times normal) with xft.
149 root 1.610 - removed iso10646 fallback, as xorgs iso10646 encoded fonts are mostly
150     broken.
151     - removed gnu unifont fallback, all combining characters are broken.
152 root 1.608 - replace named colours by xorg's rgb.txt equivalents, to
153     reduce round trip time on startup, and short-cut allocation
154 root 1.611 of rgb:rr/gg/bb for xft.
155 root 1.615 - short-cut allocation of rgb values in the xlib case
156 root 1.611 (patch by Paco-Paco).
157 root 1.610 - overhauled color management: smaller codesize, alpha support.
158 root 1.614 - support "rgba:rrrr/gggg/bbbb/aaaa" color specifications and
159     an "[alpha]" prefix.
160 root 1.610 - try to work around Xft and Xrender forcing everything to be 100%
161     transparent. Long Live Xft!
162     - do not include X11/Intrinsic.h anymore, directly use
163     Xlib/Xutil/Xresource directly.
164 root 1.612 - try to find a nearest matching color when color allocation fails
165     on a pseudocolor screen.
166 root 1.610 - SYNCCVS: compared to rxvt-cvs 2006-01-28, no relevant changes.
167     - fix version report (DA) (which was unfortunately broken).
168     - changed version number report again, now to emulate xterm closer.
169     - added the OSC sequence 702 to detect the urxvt version number.
170     - small configure updates.
171 root 1.608 - further RTT optimisations.
172 root 1.687 - backported clean-up patches for makefiles and documentation from
173     the debian package.
174 root 1.686 - updated doc/rxvt-unicode.spec file. It's still not maintained here,
175     but much newer than the old one.
176 root 1.598
177 root 1.597 7.4 Sat Jan 28 15:26:27 CET 2006
178 root 1.596 - screen background wasn't always erased properly when scrolling,
179     - re-enabled clearing optimisation disabled in 7.4pre.
180 root 1.597 - small configure updates for libptytty.
181     - fixed version options: line output.
182     - removed stoopid debugging message left in the code.
183 root 1.593
184 root 1.591 7.3 Wed Jan 25 22:47:35 CET 2006
185 root 1.575 - don't let iso14755 or mouse reporting get into the way of perl
186     (could lead to global grabs never being cleared).
187 root 1.579 - experimental OnTheSpot editing support (-pe xim-onthespot).
188 root 1.576 - moved Shift-Button2 paste combination to Meta-Button2.
189 root 1.582 - the cutchars resource will now be respected and used by the
190     selection extension.
191 root 1.586 - added the "remote-clipboard" extension which just runs external
192 root 1.584 commands to fetch and store the selection data.
193 root 1.589 - added -depth switch that tries to get a different visual depth
194     than the default (replaces the old PREFER_24_BIT logic).
195 root 1.573 - removed (unused) arabic presentation form composing sequences.
196 root 1.582 - be more strict when deciding that a core font glyph is too wide and
197     needs the careful rendering mode.
198     - allow more leeway for italic fonts when deciding that a character is
199     too wide and needs careful mode.
200 root 1.589 - redraw even more characters around characters using careful mode.
201 root 1.588 - made selection-pastebin fully asynchronous.
202 root 1.580 - reduced number of server turnarounds at startup by allocating
203     atoms only once per display.
204 root 1.586 - renamed on_keyboard_command to on_user_command.
205 root 1.578 - changed version sos (ESC [ > c) response to be more compatible with
206     xterm.
207 root 1.570
208 root 1.568 7.2 Sun Jan 22 21:58:16 CET 2006
209 root 1.563 - bugfix: urxvt (not urxvtd) did not correctly handle multiple
210     environments necessary, which resulted in segfaults within
211     getenv (reproducable: urxvt -fn 9x15, open a menu once,
212     ctrl-shift-672c).
213 root 1.560 - bugfix: the selection speedup in in 7.1 unfortunately caused
214 root 1.559 non-ascii characters to enlarge/move the selection.
215 root 1.567 - bugfix: resizing sometimes leaked lines from the secondary to
216     the primary screen.
217 root 1.568 - bugfix: reducing window size while large amounts of text were output
218     could lead to an assertion failure.
219 root 1.553 - added "tabbed" extension that provides a crude tabbed terminal.
220 root 1.554 - added "readline" extension that allows cursor positioning
221     via mouse clicks.
222 root 1.556 - now it is possible to insert the value of the CLIPBOARD selection
223 root 1.565 with shift - mouse button 2.
224 root 1.553 - fixed the automove-background extension to ignore coordinates
225     in non-synthetic events.
226 root 1.561 - created a separate libpty for portable and secure
227 root 1.565 pty/tty/utmp/wtmp/lastlog handling, and include it in rxvt-unicode.
228     - the non-terminfo visual bell now works asynchronously, so
229 root 1.563 continuous ASCI BELs in one terminal do no longer monopolise the
230     whole urxvt[d] process.
231     - support some *BSD makes (for the time being, gnu make is a safe bet).
232     - work around bugs in FreeBSD's gcc.
233     - implemented some *BSD fixes in configure.
234 root 1.556 - removed support for obsolete offix dnd protocol.
235 root 1.552
236 root 1.551 7.1 Thu Jan 19 20:25:34 CET 2006
237 root 1.542 - setuid/setgid operation is now _encouraged_: security has been
238     improved by moving privileged operations into a separate process
239     and permanently dropping privileges within the terminal. This
240     makes it possible to remove security checks from the perl code
241     and gives a much safer feeling when urxvt needs to run with
242     special privileges.
243     - perl taint checking disabled, as urxvt no longer runs setuid/setgid
244     itself.
245 root 1.543 - new perl extension automove-background that can be used to get
246     the same effect as pseudo-transparency with any pixmap.
247     - new perl extension example: perl/selection-pastebin, can be used to
248 root 1.542 e.g. upload the selection to a webserver and generate a url, or
249     similar stuff.
250 root 1.521 - use the scrollback buffer even when the scroll region doesn't
251 root 1.542 span the whole screen, as long as it starts at row 0. Helps
252     for programs displaying a status line at the bottom.
253 root 1.521 - selection popup now shows selection in dec/hex/oct.
254     - perl/selection: matching on unicode characters in the selection
255     code was O(n²), which equals infinity in some degenerate cases
256     :-> Matching is now done on UTF-8, which makes it almost instant.
257     - perl/selection, perl/selection-autotransform: regexes are now
258     being interpreted in the locale urxvt was started.
259 root 1.545 - implemented override-redirect option and enabled it on menus,
260     as kwin puts our windows behind the terminal (what a shoddy wm).
261 root 1.542 - fixed struct utmp check in configure for OpenBSD.
262 root 1.532 - complete overhaul of the pty/utmp management stuff and configure
263     (Emanuele Giaquinta).
264 root 1.542 - add tsl/fsl and related capabilities to the terminfo description,
265     to set the window title.
266     - swap the environment in some more cases. This hopefully fixes
267     some segfaults that might be caused by xft asking for env variables
268     at the wrong time.
269 root 1.530 - removed src/strings.C and src/menubar.C. No menubar support
270     anymore.
271 root 1.535 - removed all traces of SMOOTH_REFRESH.
272 root 1.531 - nuked QNX support.
273 root 1.544 - made some fixes to xpm offset and scaling code.
274 root 1.542 - perl-overlays and refresh hooks were not applied in correct order.
275     - changed coordinate-system of view_start/nsaved to be top to bottom.
276 root 1.547 - iom extended to support listening for child exits.
277 root 1.518
278 root 1.517 7.0 Fri Jan 13 14:02:18 CET 2006
279 root 1.500 - added sections for DISTRIBUTION MAINTAINERS and about
280 root 1.501 SETUID/SETGID to the FAQ.
281 root 1.503 - selection, searchable-scrollback, selection-popup and
282     option-popup extensions enabled by default.
283 root 1.502 - increased xft drawing speed for problematic fonts. The effect
284     will likely be small as 99% of the xft slowness is server-related.
285 root 1.499 - perl: much increased functionality, better overlays, popup support
286     and much much more.
287 root 1.493 - perl: urxvt::line now can set via ->t and ->r.
288 root 1.495 - perl: changed interpretation of --perl-ext-common and -pe.
289 root 1.496 - perl: finally implemented --perl-eval.
290 root 1.499 - perl: non-blocking anyevent support.
291     - perl: run tainted and ignore perl-eval/perl-lib if started
292 root 1.498 setuid/setgid.
293 root 1.499 - free the resource database: this plugs a massive memory leak. As a
294 root 1.497 side effect, it also gets rid of XGetDefault calls.
295 root 1.499 - free one of the cursors, fixes a small memory leak.
296 root 1.503 - built-in (as opposed to terminfos) visual bell was broken/too fast.
297 root 1.504 - applied minor cleanups by Ladislav Michnovic.
298 root 1.514 - applied pty handling cleanups and improvements (Emanuele Giaquinta).
299 root 1.505 - mark-urls launch-on-click by jepler.
300 root 1.506 - removed "small" resource parsing function, as it wasn't really
301     compatible, and not really small either.
302     - removed PATH_ENV and PATH file search support.
303     - removed support for locale-specific app-defaults file.
304 root 1.510 - fixed a bug where out-of-bounds colour sequences could lead
305     to crashes.
306 root 1.511 - limit colour changing to the standard 88 palette instead of all
307     colours.
308 root 1.510 - XTerm_Color01 sequence returned wrong results in query mode.
309 root 1.513 - iom.C now checks against destructed io_manager when unregistering.
310 root 1.493
311 root 1.491 6.3 Wed Jan 4 22:37:10 CET 2006
312 root 1.484 - SECURITY FIX: on systems using openpty, permissions were
313     not correctly updated on the tty device and were left as
314     world-readable and world-writable (likely in original rxvt,
315 root 1.489 too), and were not restored properly. Affected are only
316     systems where non-unix ptys were used (such as most BSDs, not
317     GNU/Linux). (found, patched and debugged by Ryan Beasley).
318 root 1.481 - meta8 support was forcefully enabled in most configurations.
319     restored configurability of this (useless) feature (reported
320 root 1.488 by Mikachu).
321 root 1.477 - optionally embed a perl interpreter, which can be used for more
322     intelligent/customized selection support, visual feedback,
323 root 1.478 menus, tabs etc. See the the urxvtperl manpage, the -pe option,
324 root 1.481 perl*-resources and keysym resources. Not everything is there yet.
325 root 1.486 - try to be more clever about differing font sizes and their ascent.
326 root 1.488 Not guarenteed to work, but works better in most cases now.
327 root 1.475 - fix directory permissions on install.
328 root 1.490 - implemented option to disable built-in line drawing characters
329 root 1.488 and fall back to the font ones (patch by Martin Pohlack).
330 root 1.487 - disabled sched_yield support: the linux version is just too useless
331     (it schedules nice'd processes before the own one for extended
332     periods). Too bad, it could reduce system time by a factor of 5 here.
333 root 1.474
334 root 1.473 6.2 Mon Jan 2 16:03:01 CET 2006
335 root 1.465 - implemented intensityStyles option which enables/disables bold/blink
336     selecting high intensity foreground/background colours, suggested by
337     Chuck Blake.
338 root 1.466 - move iso14755 character feedback box out of the way if it would
339     obscure the mouse cursor position.
340 root 1.463 - replaced callback.h by a fixed version from gvpe that correctly
341 root 1.464 returns the callback result (affects new -pty-fd semantics in urxvtc
342     on a few architectures). Reported by darix.
343 root 1.469 - include one trailing space in rectangular selections to indicate
344     the inserted newline (yeah, weird, but visually more pleasing).
345 root 1.472 - try to use sched_yield to (drastically) improve terminal data
346     transfer efficiency.
347 root 1.467 - further minor cleanups.
348 root 1.463
349 root 1.461 6.1 Tue Dec 27 13:23:40 CET 2005
350 root 1.454 - update iso8859-7 table (euro and drachma round-trip et al.).
351 root 1.452 - fix a crash when the selection scrolls out of the scrollback
352     while the user still drags.

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

598     time (12.8s -> 7.8s on my dsl). Still, doing it with only 2-3
599     turnarounds would be much faster, but impossible to implement(?).
600     - implement underlineColor resource when ENABLE_FRILLS.

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

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

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

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

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