11 - WARNING: TERM=rxvt-unicode is now *default* unless compiled
12 differently. A terminfo entry will automatically be compiled and
13 installed if tic is available.
14 - fixed some --disable switches that didn't work.
15 - tweaked src/features.h a bit.
16 - removed README.unicode.
17 - support select&paste of tab characters.
18 - fixed a segfault when trying to load nonexistant fonts (reported
19 by Eduard Bloch and Mikael Magnusson).
20 - fixed a long-standing rxvt bug in which rxvt failed to save
21 and restore the correct cursor position on the secondary screen.
22 - reworked rxvt-unicode terminfo to allow more efficient and less flickering
23 screen updates with curses.
24 - wide characters that are being halfway overwritten are now replaced
25 by spaces.
26 - urxvtc now transmits urxvt as default name, not urxvtc anymore
27 (likewise for other names chosen at configure time).
28 - disabled the automatic font lookup for unknown characters. xft
29 is just too slow for this to work.
30 - changed realbold code, implemented _real_ bold and italic support,
31 where _real_ means the symbiosis of what I want with what I can
32 implement. use --enable-styles.
33 - removed 256 color mode, but enable 88 colours in all modes
34 (88 to be compatible with 88 colour xterm which is widely
35 supported, and most programs assume a non-iso colourtable
36 for terminals with "odd" number of colours).
37 - added doc/etc/rxvt-unicode.terminfo which is a big overhaul
38 compared to the old rxvt terminfo.
39 - sped up xft rendering by 30% *iff* the font allows it (i.e. is
40 monospaced "enough") *and* matches the base font in width.
41 - implement positive and negative character-font caching, which
42 speeds up output immensely in case a character cannot be found
43 (only for non-bold right now).
44 - fix segfault in fading code on certain escape sequences.
45 - better default font size and style.
46 - rxvt-unicode is now much more picky about fonts not fitting
47 into the base font, but to offset this it will check each
48 single character against the base font extents and will only
49 use the characters fitting into the bounding box (+ some fudge).
50 - characters not fitting into the base boundary box will now often
51 be used anyways, but the following characters will be redrawn
52 more often to avoid pixel-droppings. This is like the original
53 rxvt pixel-dropping pass but it's much faster.
54 - scrollColor now affects plain scrollbar (Mikael Magnusson).
55 - fixed segfault in overlay code when height was larger than the
56 screen height.
57 - cursor no longer shines "through" the overlay.
58 - 7-bit ST marker detection was broken.
59 - scrollbar didn't come back sometimes when switching it
60 off/on using escape sequences (Mikael Magnusson).
61 - fix lots of colour problems with focus fading.
62 - $COLORFGBG was not set as documented.
63 - fix iso 14755 5.1 support when --enable-frills but --disable-iso14755.
64 - removed OSC 702.
65 - disabled MOUSE_REPORT_DOUBLECLICK by default, as programs seem to be
66 confused by it rather than using it.

69 - new configure option --enable-iso14755.
70 - full iso 14755 conformance (at least I claim so :).
71 - extended the FAQ section in the manpage.
72 - fix OverTheSpot and OffTheSpot editing, which was broken since ages,
73 due to no fontset being available. The fontset used is a very rough
74 approximation to the rxvt font, though. This fixes the
75 "cannot create input context" in most cases.
76 - fix coordinates used for Over && OffTheSpot editing to fit directly
77 at the cursor (Over) or into the top line (Off).
78 - reset SIGHUP and SIGPIPE handlers to default values (they were
79 previously being ignored, causing programs not to exit on windoe
80 close).
81 - implemented simple overlays for feedback messages. believe it or
82 not, this was a major blocker in implementign tabbed termianls.
83 - fix compiling with --disable-frills (Adam Sampson).
84 - clarify bold docs in README.unicode (Adam Sampson).
85 - fix crash on window close when the input method or context
86 could not be created.
87 - add work around for badly written programs (see debian bug
88 #202497). This is _not_ a bug in rxvt but rather a race
89 condition in other programs (e.g. jed). It works by forcefully
90 sending SIGWINCH when rxvt sees the first output from the
91 command. This workaround isn't perfect (a slight cost to
92 wellbehaving programs who need to resize twice), but it usually
93 works.
94 - set correct pixel size in struct winsize.
95 - document more escape sequences.
96 - fix leftover macros and a few minor doc glitches in rxvt(1).
97 - work around bash's assumption that stepping into the middle of a
98 character is a sensible operation.
99 - fix some corner cases in autowrap handling.
100 - remove various useless make cruft, renamed files to better
101 reflect on their function, renamed many variables.
102 - fixed printscreen functionality, as noted by Jinesh Choksi.
103 - fix a problem where redraws of double-width characters sometimes
104 made the last character draw with normal width (especially visible
105 with selections).
