23TODO: cursor restore/rendition restore on rmcup 24 - fix a possible crash if the INCR transfer process for a
25 selection property timeouts and at least one chunk is
26 received. (Emanuele Giaquinta)
27 - work around as memory corruption bug in xorg's XrmSetDatabase (apparently
28 broken since http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/xorg-commit-diffs/2004-March/000239.html).
29 - gdk-pixbuf is autodetected by default and preferred over libafterimage.
30 - do not prepend a newline to the selection text when the starting line
31 of the selection is not highlighted (Emanuele Giaquinta).
32 - don't swap perl env with real env, save and restore it, just in case
33 we ever get recursive perl invocations. also saves a bit of codespace
34 with gcc.
35 - fix various memory leaks (Emanuele Giaquinta).
36 - fix typo in kIC terminfo capability, debian bug #446444.
37 - fix debian bug #504817, to the extent possible.
38 - try to detect byte order at compile time, seems to work around weird linking
39 errors on freebsd (seems to have trouble with static member variables) - also
40 saves a couple of hundred bytes, if your compiler is smart enough.
41 - add support for previewing the pasted data in confirm-paste
42 (Emanuele Giaquinta).
43 - added "newlines to spaces" option in selection-popup.
44 - actually enabled solaris event ports backends (was disabled by accident).
45 - revert to 38400 baud max., mission accomplished.
46
479.10 Mon Dec 13 17:43:52 CET 2010
48 - the "schmorp=north korea dickey=south korea" release.
49 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: make OSC 20 simpler and more correct
50 (Emanuele Giaquinta).
51 - if options were compiled out, this could lead to the option
52 count to be defined wrongly. This is likely behind the
53 failures with gcc 4.5.
54 - explicitly depend on fontconfig and xrender when xft support
55 is enabled. Although the public Xft api uses types from
56 both, in Xft 2.2.0 these libs are private
57 dependencies only thanks to an idiotic behaviour of
58 pkg-config that was added to workaround cases like this one.
59 Fixes linking when using GNU ld with --as-needed or GNU gold
60 (based on patch by Jan Palus).
61 - fix minor memory leaks in urxvt and urxvtd.
62 - fix regression in urxvtd that prevented options from being correctly
63 set (reported by Michal Vaner).
64 - implement xterm's horribly broken 1005 mouse reporting mode,
65 and an alternative 1015 mode that works in non-utf-8 locales
66 and has fewer limitations.
67 - fix a possible bug where mouse notifications didn't work after
68 startup for the upper left corner.
69 - implement our own pixbuf to pixmap rendering to get rid of
70 dependency on buggy gdk-pixbuf-xlib. Only truecolor visuals
71 are supported (Emanuele Giaquinta).
72 - apply tinting before shading when both operations are requested.
73 Previously they were intermixed when lightening and the result
74 was inaccurate and confusing. Note that now a black tint yields a
75 completely black image, regardless of shading (Emanuele Giaquinta).
76 - avoid spurious redraws of the bg image when bg is transparent or
77 when using 'root' mode (Emanuele Giaquinta).
78 - fix build on XFree86.
79 - dynamically number options according to compiletime requirements.
80 For the extra saved byte. Or so. Yay.
81 - start options at one, not zero. Wastes a bit per terminal. Maybe.
82 saves 50 instruction bytes. Possibly.
83
849.09 Sat Nov 13 01:39:07 CET 2010
85 - NOTICE: this release updates terminfo/termcap.

90 - cleanup and minor fixes of the image code (Emanuele Giaquinta).
91 - new perl extension "confirm-paste" (Emanuele Giaquinta).
92 - new on_tt_paste perl hook and tt_paste perl binding (Emanuele Giaquinta).
93 - new on_bell perl hook (Emanuele Giaquinta).
94 - searchable-scrollback no longer ignores the first line
95 (Emanuele Giaquinta).
96 - properly set VSTATUS in termios for *BSD (reported by Ed Schouten).
97 - fix utmpx detection on upcoming FreeBSD 9.
98 - Use COMPOUND_TEXT encoding for WM_NAME/WM_ICON_NAME value when it
99 is not fully convertible to STRING (patch by James Cloos).
100 - fix a buffer overflow that would cause wrong key sequences to
101 be generated for numpad keys (introduced in 9.05).
102 - fix definition of sgr0 to work around limitations in luit.
103 - extend ISO 14755 5.4 mode to also print the font name of the
104 characters other than first one in the selected cell
105 (Emanuele Giaquinta).
106 - new iso14755 option to disable ISO 14755 at runtime
107 (Emanuele Giaquinta).
108 - make sure pagewise scrolling scrolls at least one line
109 (found by Mikachu).
110 - remove deprecated OSC 18 / 19 and make OSC 17 / 19 apply to
111 highlightColor / highlightTextColor (Emanuele Giaquinta).
112 - add highlightTextColor resource to change the foreground colour of
113 highlighted characters (Emanuele Giaquinta).
114 - make highlightColor apply also to selected cells with reverse video
115 but not to non selected cells with reverse video (Emanuele Giaquinta).
116 - remove colorRV resource (it was enabled only with frills off).
117 - fix numlock handling, the most longstanding bug to date (Emanuele Giaquinta).
118 - reduce the number of custom bits to 4, to make room
119 for 256 colours.
120 - add support for 256 colors (Emanuele Giaquinta, Marc Lehmann).
121 - add rxvt-unicode-256color terminfo and use it by default in 256 colors mode.
122 - update rxvt-unicode terminfo to state 7744 colour pairs to cover all
123 88*88 possible pairs.
124 - actually added macosx-clipboard-native, which should have been in
125 the 9.07 release but had been forgotten.
126 - fix hang if DECAWM is not set and there are not enough columns to insert a
127 character (Emanuele Giaquinta).
128 - cub1 ("backspace") will now respect wrapping when past the rightmost column,
129 working around a shortcoming of most tty line discipline's line editing.
130 - add support for grabbing the clipboard selection and extend
131 selection{_clear,_grab,} perl bindings to optionally work
132 on the clipboard selection (based on patch by Dana Jansens).
133 - no longer force CERASE to BACKSPACE - use the system default. affects
134 default value for VERASE only when no compatible setting for
135 backspacekey was given.
136 - use higher than 38400 baudrate setting, if detected.
137 - erase screen would clear to the wrong background when blinking
138 was enabled (which selects high intensity under some circumstances).
139 - scr_kill_char didn't touch the line.
140 - upgrade and port to libev-4.01.
141 - enabled solaris event ports and kqueue backends (if available).
142
1439.07 Wed Dec 30 07:07:18 CET 2009
144 - port to glibc-2.10 changes (strchr etc. returning const char *
145 in C++), based on patches by Milos Jakubicek and Oliver Mader.
146 - the binary search algorithm to find precomposed characters
147 was faulty, skipping some possible combinations (found by
148 Mikachu).
149 - new -letterspace option, patch by Mark H. Wilkinson.
150 - enable --mlock option for urxvt with frills on
151 systems supporting it (patch by Russell Harmon).
152 - urxvt did not compile without frills enabled
153 (analysed by Matthew Rosewarne).
154 - correctly reset the mbstate after an illegal
155 input sequence when handling terminal output (Emanuele Giaquinta).
156 - avoid redrawing wide characters with combining enabled on every
157 refresh (reported by Mikachu).
158 - fix a typo preventing the ISO-646.1991 character set from being
159 recognized (http://achurch.org/patch-pile/).
160 - better warning for x11 font encoding detection failures, also,
161 try to deduce encoding from both font properties and name
162 (adapted from http://achurch.org/patch-pile/).
163 - resizing the window with the scrollbar disabled via the escapes
164 sequence could make the window bigger again (Mikachu).
165 - make sure the alignment for fd passing control messages
166 is correct and work around some NetBSD issues (Taylor R Campbell).

171 - assertions in libev are now enabled depending on frills.
172 - update AnyEvent implementation to version 5.23 API.
173 - work around arrogant bsd idiocies again: netbsd spills the default
174 namespace with lots of symbols "for gnu/gcc compatibility" even
175 though neither of them does it, and then calls the rest of the world
176 in need of fixing. go figure.
177 - on_keyboard_command is on_user_command (patch by Michael Witten).
178 - setting the selection from perl will now reset the selection screen
179 to the current screen. the screen can be manipulated using
180 the new ->selection_screen method.
