37 - the "so much new stuff your eyes will pop out" release.
38 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: renamed urlLauncher resource to url-launcher.
39 - fix processing of DEC private mode save sequences (patch by Patrick
40 Hemmer).
41 - fix disabling of cursor blink with the option-popup menu (based on a
42 patch by Jan Larres).
43 - the font height is not augmented anymore when lineSpace is non zero.
44 - fix "new pagemap" vs. "delete pagemap" mismatch ([] vs. non-[]),
45 as diagnosed by clang.
46 - fix height mismatch between active and inactive cursor when
47 lineSpace is non zero (patch by Stanislav Seletskiy).
48 - make it compile with LOCAL_X_IS_UNIX again (reported by
49 nickfailure@gmail.com).
50 - completely redone background pixmap support - users can now
51 specify arbitrary expressions (And programs) that calculate
52 new terminal backgrounds. see the urxvt-background manpage
53 for details.
54 - xrender is now required for background pixmap support.
55 - perl extensions can now provide commandline switches and resources
56 which show up in -help etc.
57 - iso14755 51 mode window now displays row and column.
58 - implement a -visual switch and move that and -depth to frills, also
59 warn when we can't get the requested visual.
60 - new env variable: RXVT_PERL_LIB.
61 - allocate all screen memory in one go and let the virtual memory
62 subsystem sort it out. this simplifies code, improves access
63 locality, saves a bit of ram and makes things a bit faster, too.
64 - remove support for libafterimage.
65 - update to CVS version of libev, for a whopping 11kb size decrease.
66 - do not ship yet another copy of ecb.h, use the one in libev or
67 libptytty instead.
68 - selectively mark some methods as cache-hot/cache cold, which
69 might speed up execution but definitely decreases codesize.
70
719.15 Sat Jan 21 13:36:56 CET 2012
72 - remove "using namespace std" because clang erroneously
73 thinks thats an error.
74 - finding a matching font (e.g. bold version of the base font)
75 was broken (reported by Eamon Walker).
76 - fix parsing of bg image styles. They really work now.
77 - fix blurring of bg image borders when using xrender.
78 - fix xrender blur on common xrender implementations that do
79 not behave correctly when the same pixmap is used as source
80 and destination in composite operations.
81 - fix regression that caused tabbed to compute the wrong size
82 for tabs.
83 - allow again an empty suffix in a keysym list spec (patch by
84 Sung Pae).
85 - unsupported support for sun studio's CC added.
86 - fix -C option on solaris.

89 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: the urxvtd default socket path is now
90 $HOME/.urxvt/urxvtd-<nodename>.
91 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: the "list" keysym expansion now requires
92 loading of the "keysym-list" perl extension.
93 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: A scale value of 0 in the bg image
94 geometry no longer enables tiling, so as to make it possible
95 to disable both scaling and tiling.
96 - overhaul of the bg image operations. The old operations have
97 been deprecated in favour of elementary operations and
98 styles built on top of the new operations and scale/position
99 settings. (Emanuele Giaquinta).
100 - support for libafterimage is deprecated and will be removed
101 in the next release.
102 - fix a crash caused by selection_check not properly resetting
103 out-of-bounds mark values (can happen when extending a selection
104 while scrolling up in curses programs for example).
105 - do not move the selection when scrolling up and the selection is
106 outside the scrolling region (Emanuele Giaquinta).
107 - fix display of bold bright black (reported by Ben Winslow).
108 - fix memory leak when urgentOnBell is set (patch by Nathaniel
109 Filardo).
110 - fix a redraw bug that occurs when a bg pixmap is set and the
111 wm does not honour the size hints set by urxvt. Now urxvt
112 forces the size of the terminal window to be a multiple of
113 the cell size.
24 - sanitise the argument of SD / SU sequences. Fixes a possible 114 - sanitise the argument of SD / SU sequences. Fixes a possible
25 crash when the argument is big enough, red hat bug #711137 115 crash when the argument is big enough, red hat bug #711137

27 - correctly split long lines when scrolling. 117 - correctly split long lines when scrolling.

120 bell event occurs (Ryan Kavanagh).
121 - add set_urgency perl binding to set/reset the urgency hint.
122 - consume button release event in matcher (exg).
123 - keyboard accessible list of recent matches in matcher
124 (Bob Farrell).
125 - properly process 'keysym' sequences in tabbed when using
126 'focus follows mouse' and the focus is on the main window
127 but not on the active terminal window (patch by Martin
128 Pohlack).
129 - support for the freedesktop startup-notification protocol (patch by
130 Michael Stapelberg).
131 - the direction of VPR and VPB commands was reversed.
132 - fix alignment of inherited root pixmap when it is a different size
133 than the root window and the terminal window is off the left or top
134 edge (Mikachu).
135 - make $self visible in "eval perl expression" popup action, also
136 handle exceptions better.
137 - fix parsing of '-e' when it occurs as an option argument, such as in
138 'urxvt -title -e' (Emanuele Giaquinta).
