14 - make it compile without SMART_RESIZE again.
15 - _major_ rewrite of internal line handling logic:
16# - re-flow on resize, lines get wrapped instead of winged.
17# - circular line buffer (substantially speeds up scrolling).
18# - slightly less memory usage.
19# - slight overall speed improvements.

215.9 Sat Dec 17 21:53:17 CET 2005
22 - fix a bug in the menu code of unknown impact, found by darix.
23 - clean up signal handling to be global, not per terminal
24 (matters only for rxvtd).
25 - fix small typoe in rxvt.1 (found by Mike Fabian).
26 - don't crash when broken xft/fontconfig/freetype versions return
27 bogus data, ignore the xft font instead (experienced on suse).

295.8 Tue Oct 25 22:21:45 CEST 2005
30 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: many configure options are now on by default.
31 If you want the old behaviour, try:
32 configure --disable-everything <your enable options>
33 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: -fade changed it's meaning to comply with
34 the documentation and common sense: when upgrading, replace your
35 percentage by 100-percentage.
36 - integrated "fade to specific colour" patch by Martin Parm.
37 - slow down the internal visual bell (delay by 20ms) and update
38 the terminfo flash code to use the same delay. This is
39 synchronous, so many bells might inhibit screen updates in other
40 windows.
41 - text with background==foreground colour gets displayed with default
42 bg/fg now when in reverse video, so it can be seen when selecting.
43 - allow koi8r* as x11 encoding name for koi8r (Nikita Danilov).
44 - removed undocumented inheritPixmapforce option.
45 - replaced INSTALL file.
46
475.7 Wed Jul 13 04:46:33 CEST 2005
48 - implement some useful (hopefully) options for rxvtd.
49 - separate and improved rxvtc(1) and rxvtd(1) manpages.
50 - fix a bug that caused segfaults on startup on systems that do
51 not support local unix connections, e.g cygwin. (btw, I didn't
52 even know about the -rootless and -multiwindow Cygwin/X modes).
53 - large amounts of text without control sequences or newlines
54 could almost freeze output. This has been fixed by adding extra
55 refreshes in these cases (also a problem in oriignal rxvt).
56
575.6 Sun Jun 26 22:11:13 CEST 2005
58 - R_SB_RXVT bitset value was 0, so rxvt scrollbar was initialised
59 every time resulting in display errors (original rxvt also affected).
60 Reported by Jasmin Buchert.
61 - font names are now considered to be utf-8 encoded (xft apperently
62 uses this convention. X Core fonts might not, but it should be rare).
63 Affects display in iso14755 box.
64 - rewrote the low-level xft drawing function ("xft backend" for the
65 hipper parts of the world) to hopefully cope better with proportional
66 chars mixed with fixed-width ones.
67 - rxvt is now much more careful (read: slower) with potentially
68 overlapping xft characters. It usually overshoots and redraws
69 more than required, but that's better than undershooting and
70 cutting pieces off of characters.
71 - rxvt is now more restrictive in what font heights it accepts for
72 fonts that will likely overshoot or undershoot lines.
73 - fix a cosmetic problem with the unfocused cursor on a wide character
74 at the end of the line (reported by Mikachu).
75 - wide characters not fitting into the end of the line will be
76 output in the next line (reported by Mikachu).
77 - added doc/solaris9.patch by Ewgenij Starostin.
78
795.5 Sat Apr 23 22:31:36 CEST 2005
80 - re-enabled modifer state matching as in 5.3, but implement
81 a new builtin: keysym style that simply reverts to the built-in
82 meaning of the given key.
83 - use scrollcolor for next scrollbar instead of hardcoded antiquewhite
84 (patch by Martin Edlman).
85
865.4 Mon Apr 18 00:33:31 CEST 2005
87 - match modifier state exactly in custom keyboard code.
88 this is necessary because it has no knowledge about
89 built-in mappings and so will overwrite them. the priority-code
90 will be re-enabled when this has changed, so watch out.
91 - cursor blinking now depends on frills.
92 - underline cursor mode (frills, -uc).
93 - implement special value (*g*) for pointerBlankDelay
94 to disable it.
95
965.3 Sun Mar 13 00:20:44 CET 2005
97 - fix a bug that allowed to overflow a buffer via a long
98 escape sequence, which is probably exploitable (fix by
99 Rob Holland / Yoann Vandoorselaere / Gentoo Audit Team).
100 - Custom key mappings no longer confuse mouse buttons
101 with modifiers.
102 - use XmbSetWMProperties instead of XSetWMProperties.
103 - properly update WM_LOCALE.
104 - implement _NET_WM_PING protocol.
105 - implemented escape sequences to move the scrollback buffer view
106 and clear the scrollback buffer.
107
1085.2 Sun Feb 20 01:48:59 CET 2005
109 - new option -pty-fd that makes the terminal a slave
110 that uses an existing pty for I/O instead of starting
111 a command.
112 - implement enough of XEMBED to allow for correct focus.
113 - added doc/embed-tk, an embedding example in Perl/Tk,
114 and doc/rxvt-tabbed, a primitive tabbed shell implemented
115 in Perl/Gtk2.
116 - fix assertion failure ("crash") on mousewheel-scrolling
117 when the terminal height is small, by removing the assert.
118 (reported by Mikael Magnusson).
119 - SYNCCVS. backported bugfixes done to rxvt
120 (sourceforge bugs #1028739, #1028732), except for
121 pts/%s fix as it seems to collide with freebsd,
122 and sourceforge bug #954654, which is not neccessary.
123 - change terminfo file to not clobber G1 when using
124 line-drawing characters, as this seems to mess
125 with EUC-JP (it will clobber G0, but G0 practically
126 needs to be US-ASCII all the time).
127 - toggle default application keypad/cursor mode to help
128 some apps who fail to set the correct mode.
129 - check for WM_PROTOCOLS type in ClientMessage as to
130 not destroy the window for other types of messages.
131 - remove shared library (or any library) support - it is
132 of no use currently (and -embed is a better way to embed
133 rxvt-unicode).
134 - get rid of the intpro files.
135
1365.1 Tue Feb 15 17:13:27 CET 2005
137 - fix a bug when parsing fontnames and another one
138 for empty keymaps which could result in crashes
139 (Kuang-che Wu).
140 - new option: -embed (frills). somebody could write a simple
141 tk script to make a tab'able terminal now...
142 - only warn on X errors and _try_ to continue (frills).
143 - add COPYING back, which got lost somehow.
144 - after deciding that LSM is dead, remove all traces of it,
145 along with other, similar, cleanups.
146 - _try_ to react sensibly to some non-monotonic time changes.
147 - don't crash in urxvtc when getcwd fails (reported by Paco-Paco).
148 - tweak font searching algorithm a bit to be faster and more
149 compatible with older rxvt-unicode versions when multiple fonts
150 match (reported by Paco-Paco).
151 - urxvtd tries to stay in "/" whenever possible.
152
1535.0 Fri Feb 11 18:31:48 CET 2005
154 - document a race-free hack to start urxvtd.
155 - document all(?) environment variables used and set by rxvt.
156 - bring xgetdefault-style resource file ordering more in line with
157 Xt, and document it in rxvt(1).
158 - correctly use screen-dependent resources when --enable-xgetdefault,
159 and also fix some memory bugs (thanks to Thierry Reding for
160 his patience and time in tracking this down).
161 - bring own resource parsing more in line with X resource parsing,
162 most notably, don't remove double quotes.
163 - compile fix for freebsd (no ut_id) (Thierry Thomas).
164 - clean up utmp and pty on X I/O errors and signals (idea
165 by Joël Riou).
166 - "un"document -xrm, it never really worked, was only
167 available with --enable-xgetdefault, is not necessary
168 and is surprisingly hard to implement.
169 - shaved off some code segment size.
170 - various code cleanups.
171 - more keysym-mapping fixes.
