136.0
14 - make it compile without SMART_RESIZE again.
15 - enable slow link support by default.
16 - fix relative cursor-positioning not respecting scrolling regions
17 (also a bug in original rxvt).
18 - initialize termios structure to zero when fetching it fails
19 (see http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=84647 for a
20 partial patch).
21 - bump max columns/rows to 10000 each.
22 - bump max savelines to 10000000.
23 - major code cleanup (still not complete, though).
24 - implement -hold option.
25 - _major_ rewrite of internal buffer handling:
26 - re-flow on resize, lines get wrapped instead of winged.
27 - circular line buffer (substantially speeds up scrolling).
28 - slightly less code + data memory usage per terminal.
29 - slight overall speed improvements.
30 - considerably improved code clarity.
31 - partial-screen scrolls no longer end up in the scrollback
32 buffer.

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

43 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: many configure options are now on by default.

47 the documentation and common sense: when upgrading, replace your
48 percentage by 100-percentage.

19 synchronous, so many bells might inhibit screen updates in other 52 synchronous, so many bells might inhibit screen updates in other
20 windows. 53 windows.
54 - text with background==foreground colour gets displayed with default
55 bg/fg now when in reverse video, so it can be seen when selecting.
56 - allow koi8r* as x11 encoding name for koi8r (Nikita Danilov).
57 - removed undocumented inheritPixmapforce option.
58 - replaced INSTALL file.
