309.16
31 - the "alpha" release.
32 - remove support for libafterimage.
33 - fix processing of DEC private mode save sequences (patch by Patrick
34 Hemmer).
35 - fix disabling of cursor blink with the option-popup menu (based on a
36 patch by Jan Larres).
37 - the font height is not augmented anymore when lineSpace is non zero.
38 - fix "new pagemap" vs. "delete pagemap" mismatch ([] vs. non-[]),
39 as diagnosed by clang.
40 - fix height mismatch between active and inactive cursor when
41 lineSpace is non zero (patch by Stanislav Seletskiy).
42 - make it compile with LOCAL_X_IS_UNIX again (reported by
43 nickfailure@gmail.com).
44 - update to CVS version of libev, for a whopping 11kb size decrease.
45 - do not ship yet another copy of ecb.h, use the one in libev or
46 libptytty instead.
47 - allocate all screen memory in one go and let the virtual memory
48 subsystem sort it out. this simplifies code, improves access
49 locality, saves a bit of ram and makes things a bit faster, too.
50 - selectively mark some methods as cache-hot/cache cold, which
51 might speed up execution but definitely decreases codesize.
52 - new env variable: RXVT_PERL_LIB.
53
549.15 Sat Jan 21 13:36:56 CET 2012
55 - remove "using namespace std" because clang erroneously
56 thinks thats an error.
57 - finding a matching font (e.g. bold version of the base font)
58 was broken (reported by Eamon Walker).
59 - fix parsing of bg image styles. They really work now.
60 - fix blurring of bg image borders when using xrender.
61 - fix xrender blur on common xrender implementations that do
62 not behave correctly when the same pixmap is used as source
63 and destination in composite operations.
64 - fix regression that caused tabbed to compute the wrong size
65 for tabs.
66 - allow again an empty suffix in a keysym list spec (patch by
67 Sung Pae).
68 - unsupported support for sun studio's CC added.
69 - fix -C option on solaris.
