48TODO: fontset caching per display?
49TODO: xOff caching. for ascii only? fr basefont only?
50TODO: image loading osc does not autoload background ext
51TODO: clean up the resource vs. long option mess, especially in the manpage.
52 - allow URxvt*keysym to match again. The fact that it was ignored
53 is considered a regression due in the way we checked for keysym
54 resources.
55 - new option/resource -rm/rewrapMode, which sets the line rewrap
56 mode to auto, never or always.
57 - new option/resource -dpb/disablePasteBrackets, which can be used to
58 disable bracketed paste mode sequences, as more and more programs
59 abuse these sequences (typically in the name of security, but these
60 sequences are not improving security). Also, bracketed paste mode
61 is now under frills.
62 - enable confirm-paste extension by default, can be disabled by e.g.
63 URxvt.perl-ext: -confirm-paste
64 - eval scroll actions now scroll to the bottom when scrolling down and
65 there are less lines to scroll than the ones requested (patch by
66 Stephen Talley).
67 - if urxvt cannot detect a good estimate for font width (because a font does
68 not contain latin characters at all for example), it will now fall
69 back to xft's max_advance_width, which works well with some fonts. It
70 currently will warn about this.
71 - do not render variation selectors in the default font as boxes, treat
72 them as zero-width characters.
73 - change combining character architecture to allow fonts to handle
74 combining sequences on their own. This could allow future renderers
75 to be more intelligent about these sequences.
76 - use the previous enhancement to allow unicode characters outside of the
77 BMP to be rendered even without --enable-unicode3, as long as an
78 xft with the character is configured.
79 It's recommended to stay with disabled unicode3 even more now.
80 - freetype/xft have been verified to return nonsensical offsets for
81 combining characters. urxvt tries to compensate to some extent,
82 but diacritics will be slightly off in many cases, and far off in
83 some cases (e.g. input mono).
84 - when checking for overlap/careful handling, take non-basefont
85 character shifts into account.
86 - allow perl-ext and perl-ext-common to override autoloaded extensions.
87 this allows tabbed to disable itself in subtabs, avoiding recursive
88 loading.
89 - update precompose table to unicode 13.0.
90 - update charset conversion tables to perl 5.32 (this only affected
91 cs_koi8_u_from_unicode).
92 - unicode characters > 0x100000 were not handled correctly w.r.t.
93 font rendering.
94 - replace bitstream vera by dejavu sans, as it has replaced the former
95 almost everywhere.
96
979.26 Fri May 14 19:14:14 CEST 2021
98 - ev_iouring.c was wrongly required during compilation, and wrongly
99 not packaged.
100
1019.25 Fri May 14 15:51:36 CEST 2021
102 - for the 17.5th anniversary, and because many distributions seem to
103 remove rxvt in favour of urxvt, this release resurrects rclock as
104 urclock.
105 - add support for systemd socket-based activation - debian bug #917105,
106 freebsd bug #234276.
107 - do not destruct perl on exit anymore: this might fail for a variety of
108 reasons, and takes unnecessary time.
109 - remove any macros from urxvtperl manpage(s), should fix debian
110 bug 858385.
111 - the old bg image resources are now provided by the background
112 extension, and perl is thus required for bg image support. No
113 configuration change is needed: urxvt autoloads the background
114 ext if any bg image resource/option is present (for OSC sequences to
115 work you need to enable it explicitly). The old bg image
116 resources are also now deprecated; users are encouraged to
117 switch to the new bg image interface (see man urxvt-background).
118 - confirm-paste now checks for any ctlchars, not just newlines.
119 - searchable scrollback will now ignore bracketed paste mode sequences
120 (prompted by Daniel Gröber's patch).
121 - drop ISO 2022 locale support. ISO 2022 encodings are not supported in
122 POSIX locales and clash with vt100 charset emulation (the luit
123 program can be used as a substitute).
124 - perl didn't parse rgba colours specified as an array correctly,
125 only allowing 0 and 100% intensity for each component (this affected
126 fill and tint).
127 - when iterating over resources, urxvt will now try to properly handle
128 multipart resources (such as "*background.expr"), for the benefit
129 of autoloading perl extensions.
130 - ESC G (query rxvt graphics mode) has been disabled due to security
131 implications. The rxvt graphics mode was removed in rxvt-unicode 1.5,
132 and no programs relying on being able to query the mode are known.
133 - work around API change breakage in perl 5.28, based on a patch by
134 Roman Bogorodskiy.
135 - improved security: rob nation's (obsolete) graphics mode queries
136 no longer reply with linefeed in secure/default mode.
137 - ISO 8613-3 direct colour SGR sequences (patch by Fengguang Wu).
138 - xterm focus reporting mode (patch by Daniel Hahler).
139 - xterm SGR mouse mode.
140 - implement DECRQM. Patch by Přemysl Eric Janouch.
141 - add missing color index parameter to OSC 4 response. Patch
142 by Přemysl Eric Janouch.
143 - in some window managers, if smart resize was enabled, urxvt
144 erroneously moved the window on font change - awesome bug
145 #532, arch linux bug ##34807 (patch by Uli Schlachter).
146 - fix urxvtd crash when using a background expression.
147 - properly restore colors when using fading and reverse video
148 is enabled while urxvt is focused and then disabled while it
149 is not focused, or vice versa (patch by Daniel Hahler).
150 - fix high memory usage when an extension repeatedly hides and
151 shows an overlay (reported by Marcel Lautenbach).
152 - expose priv_modes member and constants to perl extensions
153 (patch by Rastislav Barlik).
154 - fix a whole slew of const sillyness, unfortunately forced upon
155 us by ISO C++.
156 - update to libecb 0x00010006.
157 - disable all thread support in ecb.h as we presumably don't need it.
158 - slightly improve Makefile source dependencies.
159 - work around bugs in newer Pod::Xhtml versions (flags incorrect formatting codes
160 in xhtml/html sections but does not interpret correct ones).
161
1629.22 Sat Jan 23 21:07:33 CET 2016
163 - NOTICE: this release updates terminfo.
164 - add terminfo capabilities for various ctrl and shift-ctrl key variants
165 (patch by Sebastian Schmidt).
166 - fix longstanding core font encoding bug where some character
167 ranges could not be mapped from unicode to the font: affected
168 encodings are big5, gb2312, iso8859-8 (hebrew), jis0201 and
169 ksc5601 (reported by Mikachu).
170 - fix crash when the number of columns is 1 and a 0 width character is inserted
171 (reported by Kuang-che Wu).
172 - fix a crash when parsing an invalid color specification (reported by Kuang-che Wu).
173 - fix a buffer overflow in font name parser (reported by Kuang-che Wu).
174 - do not start blinking cursor if the window is unfocused (reported by
175 Devin J. Pohly).
176 - change the width of underline and i-beam cursor to 2 pixels (based on
177 a patch by Omar Sandoval).
178 - add pointerShape resource to change the mouse pointer shape
179 (based on a patch by Brian Watson).
180 - a keysym resource for a key which is already bound to an
181 action now properly rebinds the key.
182 - do not report mouse motion events if Shift is active (patch by Daniel Hahler).
183 - put the alpha component last in responses to OSC color queries
184 (patch by Benjamin Herr).
185 - the key_press hook is now invoked before processing the
186 event, as documented. This change was done in 9.21 but not
187 announced and fixes debian bugs #511377, #531751 and red hat
188 bug #1105069. Note that this change breaks a few scripts,
189 such as mark-yank-urls, which rely on the previous buggy
190 behaviour that urxvt processes the event (in particular
191 keysym bindings) before invoking the hook.
192 - the tabbed extension now properly refreshes the active tab
193 on a key press when the mouse pointer is outside the terminal
194 window.
195 - add 'lookup_keysym' perl method to lookup the action bound
196 to a key combination.
197 - a key combination bound to 'matcher:select' can now be used
198 to cycle through the matches in matcher.
199 - change perl integer accessors (->width et al.) into mutators.
200
2019.21 Wed Dec 31 14:50:03 CET 2014
202 - the "moa redraw 8-bit british vintage colour management" release.
203 - NOTICE: this release updates terminfo.
204 - fix pixel droppings on overdraw when a secondary core font has the
205 same height but different ascent.
206 - implement cvvis in terminfo as blinking cursor, to distinguish it
207 from cnorm (emacs uses cvvis which is commonly a blinking cursor).
208 - when xft support was compiled in, colour queries erroneously returned
209 premultiplied values, this also affected internal queries, for example
210 when calculating faded colour. alpha is now divided out when possible,
211 which is more correct but loses colour resolution.
212 - add DECSCUSR xterm extension to set the cursor to a vertical bar.
213 - add 'extension:string' action, and associated on_action perl
214 hook, for keysym resources that invokes actions provided by
215 perl extensions. The 'perl:string' action and
216 on_user_command hook are deprecated but still supported.
217 - add 'builtin-string' action for keysym resources that restores string
218 mappings for keys that have predefined actions in urxvt.
219 - add -k option to urxvtc for killing the daemon process.
220 - document urxvtd's -e/--eval option that was implemented in 9.16,
221 but not documented.
222 - add -dockapp option to make the wm treat urxvt as a dockapp.
223 - add -mc option and multiClickTime resource to set the maximum time
224 between multi-click select events (patch by Joe Peterson).
225 - new 'eval' extension to evaluate arbitrary perl code with keysym
226 bindings. The extension also provides methods that implement basic
227 actions, such as pasting selections and scrolling.
228 - the macosx-clipboard and macosx-clipboard-native extensions have been removed.
229 - kuake extension now uses the kuake.hotkey resource to specify the hotkey.
230 - new 'matcher:select' mode of matcher to iterate over the matches with the keyboard.
231 - the 'matcher:list' feature of matcher now honours the launcher
232 associated to a matched pattern.
233 - speed-up matcher underlining on very long lines (reported by Edward Z. Yang).
234 - fix up/down commands of searchable-scrollback so that they always move
235 to the previous/next logical line with a match, if any.
236 - searchable-scrollback resource has been deprecated (use keysym instead).
237 - extension parameter passing is deprecated (use resource mechanism instead).
238 - upgrade to GPLv3 (see COPYING).
239 - compile out of the box on Solaris 10, again.
240 - fix height and position of the stippled area in next scrollbar (patch
241 by Thomas Otto).
242 - fix off-by-one bug causing the iso14755 window not to jump out of the
243 way properly.
244 - fix crash that may happen if a lib to which urxvt is linked to calls setenv.
245 - fix memory leak in special_{encode,decode} perl methods.
246 - fix refresh bug that occurs when reverse video is set on a cell
247 containing a space and with the same bg and fg colour, red hat bug
248 #830236.
249 - fix crash that may happen if an x error is received after a terminal
250 window/popup has been destroyed already.
251 - removed superfluous 0 digit from sgr terminfo sequence.
252 - greatly improve colour allocation on colour-starved pseudocolour
253 displays to avoid read-write cells instead of simply failing
254 (this is only relevant for antique 8bpp frame buffers).
255 - do not free fade colours when not doing fading (this is likely
256 only relevant for antique 8bpp frame buffers).
257 - do not specialcase 2 or 4 colour visuals, leading to
258 simpler and actually more correct code.
259 - hopefully no longer leak colours on !truecolour visuals.
260 - use consistent method names (scr_recolour => scr_recolor).
261 - use simpler (but slightly less bogus) formula for nearest
262 colour choice (this is likely only relevant for antique 8bpp
263 frame buffers).
264 - remove fallback behaviour when initialising colours - the
265 behaviour was inconsistent between startup vs. later and
266 was only effective when valid colours couldn't be allocated.
267
2689.20 Sat Apr 26 16:22:27 CEST 2014
269 - (libptytty) fix bug that prevented urxvtd from writing utmp
270 entries when using --fork (reported by Ryan Kavanagh).
271 - security bugfix: window property values could be queried even
272 in secure mode (reported by Conor McCarthy).
273 - fix build when perl is enabled and fading is disabled.
274 - fix regression that broke continuous scrolling when pressing
275 and holding the scrollbar up or down button, gentoo bug #493992.
276 - increase the maximum length of a command sequence to 32k bytes,
277 to allow longer OSC sequences (previous limit was 2k).
278 - new Ctrl-Meta-c and Ctrl-Meta-v bindings to interact with
279 the CLIPBOARD selection.
280 - new extension: selection-to-clipboard.
281 - the extensions macosx-clipboard and macosx-clipboard-native
282 are deprecated and will be removed in the next release.
283 Support for the clipboard on OS X can be more generally
284 enabled by setting the XQuartz preference to sync the OS X
285 pasteboard and the X11 clipboard.
286
2879.19 Sun Oct 27 17:16:07 CET 2013
288 - work around perl 5.18.0 breakage in tabbed extension
289 (reported by Karol Blazewicz) and in pod (Dominic Hargreaves).
290 - fix regression that caused the double-click word selection to
291 erroneously include a tab on the left of the selected word.
292 - implement FOCUS variable and focus_fade function in background
293 expression, to allow focus-sensitive background images.
294 - add support for the set cursor style (DECSCUSR) control
295 function.
296 - honour cursorColor also when the cursor style is underline.
297 - export some Color_xxx constants to Perl.
298
2999.18 Sun Mar 24 15:33:35 CET 2013
300 - fix regression that caused artifacts on resize.
301
3029.17 Fri Mar 1 13:46:08 CET 2013
303 - add shade operator in background perl extension.
304 - avoid starting or ending the selection in the middle of wide
305 characters to avoid artifacts (reported by Tiago Resende).
306 - fix artifacts that may occur if the character in the cursor
307 cell has width > 1 (reported by Tiago Resende).
308 - fix regression that causes artifacts on scrolling if
309 saveLines is 0 and the window is resized (reported by Bert
310 Münnich).
311 - fix build when perl is enabled and pixbuf and transparency
312 are disabled.
313
3149.16 Thu Dec 27 11:56:43 CET 2012
315 - the "so much new stuff your eyes will pop out" release.
316 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: renamed urlLauncher resource to url-launcher.
317 - fix processing of DEC private mode save sequences (patch by Patrick
318 Hemmer).
319 - perl extensions now have their own manpages, installed as urxvt-NAME(1),
320 e.g. urxvt-background(1) - see urxvt-extensions(1) for a list.
321 - fix disabling of cursor blink with the option-popup menu (based on a
322 patch by Jan Larres).
323 - the font height is not augmented anymore when lineSpace is non zero.
324 - fix "new pagemap" vs. "delete pagemap" mismatch ([] vs. non-[]),
325 as diagnosed by clang.
326 - fix height mismatch between active and inactive cursor when
327 lineSpace is non zero (patch by Stanislav Seletskiy).
328 - make it compile with LOCAL_X_IS_UNIX again (reported by
329 nickfailure@gmail.com).
330 - completely redone background pixmap support - users can now
331 specify arbitrary expressions (And programs) that calculate
332 new terminal backgrounds. see the urxvt-background manpage
333 for details.
334 - xrender is now required for background pixmap support.
335 - perl extensions can now provide commandline switches and resources
336 which show up in -help etc.
337 - iso14755 51 mode window now displays row and column.
338 - implement a -visual switch and move that and -depth to frills, also
339 warn when we can't get the requested visual.
340 - new env variable: RXVT_PERL_LIB.
341 - allocate all screen memory in one go and let the virtual memory
342 subsystem sort it out. this simplifies code, improves access
343 locality, saves a bit of ram and makes things a bit faster, too.
344 - remove support for libafterimage.
345 - update to CVS version of libev, for a whopping 11kb size decrease.
346 - do not ship yet another copy of ecb.h, use the one in libev or
347 libptytty instead.
348 - selectively mark some methods as cache-hot/cache cold, which
349 might speed up execution but definitely decreases codesize.
350 - Fix regression that prevented the scrollbar trough color
351 from being applied (reported by Derek B. Noonburg).
352 - Fix the scrollbar size for rxvt style (patch by Mark Robinson).
353
3549.15 Sat Jan 21 13:36:56 CET 2012
355 - remove "using namespace std" because clang erroneously
356 thinks thats an error.
357 - finding a matching font (e.g. bold version of the base font)
358 was broken (reported by Eamon Walker).
359 - fix parsing of bg image styles. They really work now.
360 - fix blurring of bg image borders when using xrender.
361 - fix xrender blur on common xrender implementations that do
362 not behave correctly when the same pixmap is used as source
363 and destination in composite operations.
364 - fix regression that caused tabbed to compute the wrong size
365 for tabs.
366 - allow again an empty suffix in a keysym list spec (patch by
367 Sung Pae).
368 - unsupported support for sun studio's CC added.
369 - fix -C option on solaris.
370
3719.14 Wed Dec 21 18:40:33 CET 2011
372 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: the urxvtd default socket path is now
373 $HOME/.urxvt/urxvtd-<nodename>.
374 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: the "list" keysym expansion now requires
375 loading of the "keysym-list" perl extension.
376 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: A scale value of 0 in the bg image
377 geometry no longer enables tiling, so as to make it possible
378 to disable both scaling and tiling.
379 - overhaul of the bg image operations. The old operations have
380 been deprecated in favour of elementary operations and
381 styles built on top of the new operations and scale/position
382 settings. (Emanuele Giaquinta).
383 - support for libafterimage is deprecated and will be removed
384 in the next release.
385 - fix a crash caused by selection_check not properly resetting
386 out-of-bounds mark values (can happen when extending a selection
387 while scrolling up in curses programs for example).
388 - do not move the selection when scrolling up and the selection is
389 outside the scrolling region (Emanuele Giaquinta).
390 - fix display of bold bright black (reported by Ben Winslow).
391 - fix memory leak when urgentOnBell is set (patch by Nathaniel
392 Filardo).
393 - fix a redraw bug that occurs when a bg pixmap is set and the
394 wm does not honour the size hints set by urxvt. Now urxvt
395 forces the size of the terminal window to be a multiple of
396 the cell size.
397 - sanitise the argument of SD / SU sequences. Fixes a possible
398 crash when the argument is big enough, red hat bug #711137
399 (Emanuele Giaquinta).
400 - correctly split long lines when scrolling.
401 - urxvt now looks for perl extensions also in $HOME/.urxvt/ext.
402 - add bell-command perl extension to execute a command when a
403 bell event occurs (Ryan Kavanagh).
404 - add set_urgency perl binding to set/reset the urgency hint.
405 - consume button release event in matcher (exg).
406 - keyboard accessible list of recent matches in matcher
407 (Bob Farrell).
408 - properly process 'keysym' sequences in tabbed when using
409 'focus follows mouse' and the focus is on the main window
410 but not on the active terminal window (patch by Martin
411 Pohlack).
412 - support for the freedesktop startup-notification protocol (patch by
413 Michael Stapelberg).
414 - the direction of VPR and VPB commands was reversed.
415 - fix alignment of inherited root pixmap when it is a different size
416 than the root window and the terminal window is off the left or top
417 edge (Mikachu).
418 - make $self visible in "eval perl expression" popup action, also
419 handle exceptions better.
420 - fix parsing of '-e' when it occurs as an option argument, such as in
421 'urxvt -title -e' (Emanuele Giaquinta).
422
4239.12 Wed Jun 29 14:34:28 CEST 2011
424 - fix regression in processing of SelectionNotify events.
425 urxvt would fail to request a selection if the owner did not
426 support the UTF8_STRING target.
427 - fix rendering of double width chars in certain circumstances, more
428 likely to happen if urxvt is compiled with 256 colors support as
429 urxvt runs out of fonts much earlier then. Fixes gentoo bug #358151
430 (Emanuele Giaquinta).
431 - restore support for 'list' syntax in keysym resources (requested by Sung Pae).
432 - always premultiply colour values - while this increases differences between
433 core fonts and xft, it is "more correct" in practical situations.
434 - disable PTYTTY_REENTRANT option - not needed for urxvt and saves a bit of code.
435 - remove lucidatypewriter from the list of fallback fonts, it was the only
436 non-xft non-cellfont in the list anyway.
437
4389.11 Mon May 2 10:34:46 CEST 2011
439 - fix compilation on GNU/Hurd, debian bug #624736.
440 - remove 'list' syntax for keysym resources, as it serves no useful purpose.
441 If you need it, poke us and provide a use case.
442 - fix alpha channel support. Premultiply alpha in colours if the visual
443 supports an alpha channel, as xrender expects premultiplied alpha
444 (Emanuele Giaquinta).
445 - fix reply to a selection request sent by an obsolete client
446 such as syncterm (patch by Marcin Cieslak).
447 - fix crash when the window is resized and the overlay is active
448 (Emanuele Giaquinta, reported by Ryan Kavanagh).
449 - match character-wise rather than byte-wise in selection
450 extension again. perl 5.8.9+ is required to avoid extreme
451 slowdowns. Fixes debian bugs #523072, #616463.
452 - fix a possible crash if the INCR transfer process for a
453 selection property timeouts and at least one chunk is
454 received. (Emanuele Giaquinta)
455 - work around a memory corruption bug in xorg's XrmSetDatabase (apparently
456 broken since http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/xorg-commit-diffs/2004-March/000239.html).
457 - fix memory corruption bug when custom command sequences bound to keys
458 were injected into an already-full pty input buffer.
459 - gdk-pixbuf is autodetected by default and preferred over libafterimage.
460 - do not prepend a newline to the selection text when the starting line
461 of the selection is not highlighted (Emanuele Giaquinta).
462 - don't swap perl env with real env, save and restore it, just in case
463 we ever get recursive perl invocations. also saves a bit of codespace
464 with gcc.
465 - fix various memory leaks (Emanuele Giaquinta).
466 - fix typo in kIC terminfo capability, debian bug #446444.
467 - document 'thickness' resource.
468 - fix debian bug #504817, to the extent possible.
469 - try to detect byte order at compile time, saves a couple of
470 hundred bytes, if your compiler is smart enough.
471 - add support for previewing the pasted data in confirm-paste
472 (Emanuele Giaquinta).
473 - added "newlines to spaces" option in selection-popup.
474 - actually enabled solaris event ports backend (was disabled by accident).
475 - revert to 38400 baud max., mission accomplished.
476 - no longer create scary "pty_fill: PLEASE REPORT" message, instead,
477 silently drain the input (problem is well understood now).
478 - no longer swallow rob nation's own graphics mode commands.
479
4809.10 Mon Dec 13 17:43:52 CET 2010
481 - the "schmorp=north korea dickey=south korea" release.
482 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: make OSC 20 simpler and more correct
483 (Emanuele Giaquinta).
484 - if options were compiled out, this could lead to the option
485 count to be defined wrongly. This is likely behind the
486 failures with gcc 4.5.
487 - explicitly depend on fontconfig and xrender when xft support
488 is enabled. Although the public Xft api uses types from
489 both, in Xft 2.2.0 these libs are private
490 dependencies only thanks to an idiotic behaviour of
491 pkg-config that was added to workaround cases like this one.
492 Fixes linking when using GNU ld with --as-needed or GNU gold
493 (based on patch by Jan Palus).
494 - fix minor memory leaks in urxvt and urxvtd.
495 - fix regression in urxvtd that prevented options from being correctly
496 set (reported by Michal Vaner).
497 - implement xterm's horribly broken 1005 mouse reporting mode,
498 and an alternative 1015 mode that works in non-utf-8 locales
499 and has fewer limitations.
500 - fix a possible bug where mouse notifications didn't work after
501 startup for the upper left corner.
502 - implement our own pixbuf to pixmap rendering to get rid of
503 dependency on buggy gdk-pixbuf-xlib. Only truecolor visuals
504 are supported (Emanuele Giaquinta).
505 - apply tinting before shading when both operations are requested.
506 Previously they were intermixed when lightening and the result
507 was inaccurate and confusing. Note that now a black tint yields a
508 completely black image, regardless of shading (Emanuele Giaquinta).
509 - avoid spurious redraws of the bg image when bg is transparent or
510 when using 'root' mode (Emanuele Giaquinta).
511 - fix build on XFree86.
512 - dynamically number options according to compiletime requirements.
513 For the extra saved byte. Or so. Yay.
514 - start options at one, not zero. Wastes a bit per terminal. Maybe.
515 saves 50 instruction bytes. Possibly.
516
5179.09 Sat Nov 13 01:39:07 CET 2010
518 - NOTICE: this release updates terminfo/termcap.

522 - add support for using gdk-pixbuf as image backend (Emanuele Giaquinta).
523 - cleanup and minor fixes of the image code (Emanuele Giaquinta).
524 - new perl extension "confirm-paste" (Emanuele Giaquinta).
525 - new on_tt_paste perl hook and tt_paste perl binding (Emanuele Giaquinta).
526 - new on_bell perl hook (Emanuele Giaquinta).
527 - searchable-scrollback no longer ignores the first line
528 (Emanuele Giaquinta).
529 - properly set VSTATUS in termios for *BSD (reported by Ed Schouten).
530 - fix utmpx detection on upcoming FreeBSD 9.
531 - Use COMPOUND_TEXT encoding for WM_NAME/WM_ICON_NAME value when it
532 is not fully convertible to STRING (patch by James Cloos).
533 - fix a buffer overflow that would cause wrong key sequences to
534 be generated for numpad keys (introduced in 9.05).
535 - fix definition of sgr0 to work around limitations in luit.
536 - extend ISO 14755 5.4 mode to also print the font name of the
537 characters other than first one in the selected cell
538 (Emanuele Giaquinta).
539 - new iso14755 option to disable ISO 14755 at runtime
540 (Emanuele Giaquinta).
541 - make sure pagewise scrolling scrolls at least one line
542 (found by Mikachu).
543 - remove deprecated OSC 18 / 19 and make OSC 17 / 19 apply to
544 highlightColor / highlightTextColor (Emanuele Giaquinta).
545 - add highlightTextColor resource to change the foreground colour of
546 highlighted characters (Emanuele Giaquinta).
547 - make highlightColor apply also to selected cells with reverse video
548 but not to non selected cells with reverse video (Emanuele Giaquinta).
549 - remove colorRV resource (it was enabled only with frills off).
550 - fix numlock handling, the most longstanding bug to date (Emanuele Giaquinta).
551 - reduce the number of custom bits to 4, to make room
552 for 256 colours.
553 - add support for 256 colors (Emanuele Giaquinta, Marc Lehmann).
554 - add rxvt-unicode-256color terminfo and use it by default in 256 colors mode.
555 - update rxvt-unicode terminfo to state 7744 colour pairs to cover all
556 88*88 possible pairs.
557 - actually added macosx-clipboard-native, which should have been in
558 the 9.07 release but had been forgotten.
559 - fix hang if DECAWM is not set and there are not enough columns to insert a
560 character (Emanuele Giaquinta).
561 - cub1 ("backspace") will now respect wrapping when past the rightmost column,
562 working around a shortcoming of most tty line discipline's line editing.
563 - add support for grabbing the clipboard selection and extend
564 selection{_clear,_grab,} perl bindings to optionally work
565 on the clipboard selection (based on patch by Dana Jansens).
566 - no longer force CERASE to BACKSPACE - use the system default. affects
567 default value for VERASE only when no compatible setting for
568 backspacekey was given.
569 - use higher than 38400 baudrate setting, if detected.
570 - erase screen would clear to the wrong background when blinking
571 was enabled (which selects high intensity under some circumstances).
572 - scr_kill_char didn't touch the line.
573 - upgrade and port to libev-4.01.
574 - enabled solaris event ports and kqueue backends (if available).
575
5769.07 Wed Dec 30 07:07:18 CET 2009
577 - port to glibc-2.10 changes (strchr etc. returning const char *
578 in C++), based on patches by Milos Jakubicek and Oliver Mader.
579 - the binary search algorithm to find precomposed characters
580 was faulty, skipping some possible combinations (found by
581 Mikachu).
582 - new -letterspace option, patch by Mark H. Wilkinson.
583 - enable --mlock option for urxvt with frills on
584 systems supporting it (patch by Russell Harmon).
585 - urxvt did not compile without frills enabled
586 (analysed by Matthew Rosewarne).
587 - correctly reset the mbstate after an illegal
588 input sequence when handling terminal output (Emanuele Giaquinta).
589 - avoid redrawing wide characters with combining enabled on every
590 refresh (reported by Mikachu).
591 - fix a typo preventing the ISO-646.1991 character set from being
592 recognized (http://achurch.org/patch-pile/).
593 - better warning for x11 font encoding detection failures, also,
594 try to deduce encoding from both font properties and name
595 (adapted from http://achurch.org/patch-pile/).
596 - resizing the window with the scrollbar disabled via the escapes
597 sequence could make the window bigger again (Mikachu).
598 - make sure the alignment for fd passing control messages
599 is correct and work around some NetBSD issues (Taylor R Campbell).
600 - update to libptytty 1.3.
601 - replace macosx-clipboard by a nicer version by Reza Jelveh, and move
602 the old version to macosx-clipboard-native.
603 - document the -uc option (Emanuele Giaquinta).
604 - assertions in libev are now enabled depending on frills.
605 - update AnyEvent implementation to version 5.23 API.
606 - work around arrogant bsd idiocies again: netbsd spills the default
607 namespace with lots of symbols "for gnu/gcc compatibility" even
608 though neither of them does it, and then calls the rest of the world
609 in need of fixing. go figure.
610 - on_keyboard_command is on_user_command (patch by Michael Witten).
611 - setting the selection from perl will now reset the selection screen
612 to the current screen. the screen can be manipulated using
613 the new ->selection_screen method.
614 - implement --enable-assert configure option and get rid of DEBUG_STRICT
615 (based on patch by Emanuele Giaquinta).
616 - fix printpipe data output (patch by Emanuele Giaquinta).
617 - allow `xxx' quoting style for perl selection.
618 - upgrade to libev-3.9 prerelease.

622 - NOTICE: this release updates terminfo/termcap.
623 - updates libev to 3.48.
624 - the aterm code now frees the as visual and image manager objects
625 when a window was closed.
626 - do not (wrongly) adjust the virtual line length inside
627 scr_insdel_chars/ERASE (Miroslav Lichvar).
628 - fix an issue where wide tab characters caused character shifts
629 when part of them was deleted (tracked down by Miroslav Lichvar).
630 - artificially enlargen the previous character at the end of a line
631 when trying to output a character that doesn't fit. looks ugly, but
632 makes copy&paste work.
633 - remove bogus "setuid/setgid security issues" from rxvt.1.pod, they
634 no longer apply.
635 - the urgency hint is now cleared on both focus in and focus out.
636 - cache urgency hint locally to avoid server rtt on every focus change.
637 - perl 5.10 needs PERL_SYS_INIT3 on hppa.
638 - ignore byte-order marks and do not treat them like combining characters.
639 - fix build issue when CURSOR_BLINK is not defined (Emanuele Giaquinta).
640 - do some µ-optimisations to the character fast path.
641 - use a less cunning, but more robust algorithm to avoid one terminal
642 monopolising the whole process by outputting a lot of text.
643 - try to work around linux first breaking sched_yield and now breaking
644 the only known workaround.
645 - new option -icon to set _NET_WM_ICON (based on patch by Frank Schmitt).
646 - initialise the as visual only on demand, instead of unconditionally,
647 to save memory in the common case of not using visual gimmicks.
648 - try to work around bugs in a few wm's that erroneously resize
649 client windows on hint property updates by temporarily
650 disabling size hints.
651 - implement the DECSTR soft reset sequence and use it for tput init,
652 and make hard RIS and DECSTR both reset more private modes, such
653 as mouse reporting.
654 - redundantly clear mouse reporting and a few other states in
655 tput init/tput reset, for older urxvts.
656 - partial/full clear screens did cause flickering and possibly pixel
657 droppings when urxvt viewed the scrollback buffer.
658 - use current rendition style in DCH sequence.
659 - the 132/80 mode switch no longer forces a screen reset.
660 - add an osc sequence to change the border colour (Emanuele Giaquinta).
661 - new perl extension "overlay-osc", for status displays and the like.
662 - fix some minor cursor drawing issues with overlays by allowing
663 overlays to modify screen flags (to disable the cursor themselves).
664 - work around programs not restoring rstyle before rmcup
665 (analysed by Miroslav Lichvar).
666
6679.05 Sun Jun 15 20:09:20 CEST 2008
668 - new option --cd/chdir to set the starting working directory.
669 - tabbed extension now starts in the "correct" working directory.
670 - work around fedora 9 providing isastream but not the relevant
671 header file for it (report by Tuncer Ayaz).
672 - upgrade libev, fixing a bug in the select backend.
673 with more than 31 file descriptors on non-linux 64 bit systems.
674 - correctly reset the multibyte state to the initial one
675 after EILSEQ (patch by Neil Booth). This fixes the
676 issue of rxvt-unicode not properly displaying text after an illegal
677 sequence on NetBSD and probably other systems.
678 - more intelligent property handling with -pe tabbed, works around
679 broken window managers (kwm et al.), saves bandwidth and should
680 help working window managers as well.
681 - made tabs moveable (based on a patch by Petr Machata).
682 - implement ESC [ 3 K as a more rational alternative to ESC [ 0 K.
683 - support relative paths for RXVT_SOCKET in urxvtd.
684 - the tabbed extension now blindly copies over all (rxvt-) resources
685 from the toplevel window to the children.
686 - better diagnostic on 0x0 window geometries.
687 - update AnyEvent API to version 3.4 and above.
688 - document the default value of :0 for DISPLAY.
689 - rename perl method XChangeWindowProperty to XChangeProperty.
690
6919.02 Tue Jan 29 11:58:36 CET 2008
692 - the "exg makes everybody happy" release.
693 - fix build with !xft.
694 - always compile in plain style scrollbar (simplifies code and looks great).
695
6969.01 Sat Jan 26 20:49:27 CET 2008
697 - be more aggressive about handling X events, this seems to be required
698 with newer xlibs (should fix the "screen stays black until event is
699 received" problem, again :)
700 - add buffered resource to control xft double-buffering.
701
7029.0 Fri Jan 25 19:34:04 CET 2008
703 - fix a crash bug where urxvtd would crash when urxvtc was called
704 with wrong arguments (I wish debian maintainers in general would
705 report bugs and their proposed fixes to the original package maintainers
706 instead of sitting on them for good measure to see if anybody notices).
707 - drawing xft compose characters was causing garbage to be drawn.
708 - correctly clear xft character background in all cases.
709 - implement bracketed paste mode (xterm private mode 2004).
710 - improve documentation on alpha channel handling, make urxvt
711 work better on servers lacking the RENDER extension when alpha
712 channels or background images are used.
713 - check for refresh after initialising to avoid staying blank
714 till the first event arrives. or so.
715 - the FORCE_UNBUFFERED_XFT feature macro works again.
716 - continuously update transparency while moving/resizing now.
717 - OSC 39/49 are deprecated and aliased to OSC 10/11.
718 - cub1 now acts as advertised (and ignores the "wrapped" state).
719 - the 132/80 mode switch now forces a height of 24, too, and
720 resets the terminal.
721 - scrollbar code cleanups.
722 - stopping children is no longer confused with children exiting.
723 - removed (undocumented) #aarrggbb format.
724 - updated to libev 3.0.
725
7268.9 Mon Dec 24 07:51:40 CET 2007
727 - fix the issue where urxvtd would not immediately close a window
728 when the command exited but only on the next X event.
729 - changed terminfo file not to use application keypad mode.
730 - fix the issue where making a selection in one urxvtd window
731 would not clear it visually in another.
732 - fix an issue of urxvt not getting background pixmap updates
733 and flickering after bg pixmap changes (reported by Mikachu).
734 - fix redraw bug in xterm scrollbar with -sr (reported by Mikachu).
735 - correctly provide dependencies for libev (µikachu).
736 - minor code reorganisations and cleanups.
737 - be more robust in case the urxvt-popup extension cannot be loaded.
738
7398.8 Sat Dec 15 19:40:39 CET 2007
740 - option -C was aliased to all unsupported options, activating
741 options that shouldn't be compiled in, leading to interesting
742 effects.
743 - updated libev, working around a bug in linux 2.4, curing the
744 symptom of urxvt not closing its window on shell exit. also
745 fixes a problem with urxvt not refreshing.
746 - the text blink callback was called even when no blinking
747 text was visible.
748 - pre-8.4 slipwheeling behaviour has been reinstated, with
749 some minor improvements.
750 - streamlined x events processing to only flush once per
751 display and not once per terminal window.
752 - quite a bit of minor code cleanups and codesize optimisations.
753
7548.7 Sun Nov 25 10:23:49 CET 2007
755 - update libev with an important bugfix that would cause crashes
756 when closing windows (when using rxvtd, and update is recommended).
757 - do not compile in the block builtin graphics with --disable-frills.
758
7598.6 Fri Nov 23 14:10:57 CET 2007
760 - upgrade libev to disable kqueue on anything but netbsd as it
761 seems to be broken everywhere else w.r.t. ptys.
762 - allow for spurious event notifications, as at least epoll and
763 especially solaris ports like to lie about them (symptoms:
764 urxvt "hangs" until there is some x11 related activity).
765 - -keysym command line options are now subjected to xlib parsing.
766 - add 'xrm' option analogous to Xt one.
767
7688.5a Wed Nov 21 10:16:33 CET 2007
769 - make it compile with --disable-transparency.
770
7718.5 Wed Nov 21 05:19:20 CET 2007
772 - expect major portability issues in this release: please test and report.
773 - converted from the veritable io manager event loop to
774 the high performance libev (http://software.schmorp.de/pkg/libev).
775 - minor tuning to the perl selection (include single words and more quoting chars).
776 - fix memory leak in pixmap code.
777 - fix a serious bug while setting the XIM destroy callback
778 on (typical) 64 bit systems.
779 - automove-background functionality re-implemented internally using :root op in pixmap
780 geometry string. For example: rxvt -pixmap "image.jpg;:root"
781 - do not link rxvtc against every lib on the planet anymore.
782 - parallel builds should work once more.
783
7848.4 Sat Oct 27 14:02:13 CEST 2007
785 - overhaul of the transparency/pixmap code (sasha).
786 - fix possible race between visual bell and poweron.
787 (reported by Martin von Gagern, gentoo?).
788 - urxvt -e no longer crashes the child.
789 - fixed some minor memleaks on incorrect usage or
790 missing DISPLAY.
791 - implement xterm 1002/1003 mouse tracking modes (exg).
792 - source code organisational cleanups (exg).
793 - updated io_manager.
794
7958.3 Wed Aug 1 20:21:31 CEST 2007
796 - new option: skipScroll/-ss, enabled by default.
797 - go with the times and expect x11 library files in /usr/lib, not
798 /usr/X11R6/lib.
799 - initial transparency improvement/afterimage support
800 patch by Sasha Vasko.
801 - add urgentOnBell resource to set the urgency hint
802 (patch by Philip Paeps).
803 - do not process focus events caused by grabs
804 (patch by Mikachu).
805 - add iso14755_52 resource to disable iso14755 5.2 (exg).
806 - add binding for backspace in iso14755 5.1 to remove the last
807 digit (exg).
808 - better option handling, support more than 30 options (exg).
809 - nuke reconf script, serves no purpose anymore.
810 - fixed and documented matcher/on_user_command processing in matcher
811 extension (tpope).
812 - compile out of the box on Solaris 10 (exg).
813 - fix MappingNotify events (reported by Stephan Walter).
814 - zero-initialise mwmhints, this seems to solve all sorts of minor
815 problems.
816
8178.2 Sat Feb 17 21:35:28 CET 2007
818 - fix make depend in src/, reported by exg.
819 - fixed typo in urxvt::GET_CUSTOM, causing the result to be wrong.
820 (patch by Sergey Vlasov).
821 - unbundled iom perl interface somewhat.
822 - scrollbar-xterm now uses the selected scrollColor instead of fg
823 (found by Aiviru).
824 - disabled linux kernel bug workaround again: disabling it gives
825 a 50% speed hit on affected machines, while enabling it gives
826 a similar speed hit to screen, which is likely the more common
827 case to work around for :/
828 - urxvt::rend2mask perl function, and utilization of it by matcher
829 (patch by Moshe Kamensky).
830 - use perl:matcher on a keysym to open most recently displayed URL.
831 - with matcher, when multiple patterns match, last wins, not first.
832 - fix make and make install with srcdir != builddir (exg).
833 - updated bundled libptytty to fix a bug where the tty would be kept
834 open (see the libptytty ChangeLog for details).
835 - delay setting the IUTF8 flag to after the tty settings have been
836 set so its value does not get lost (reported and analysed by Andrei
837 Paskevich).
838 - rip out support for obsolete sgtty.h interface.
839 - rip out support for non-POSIX termios variants.
840 - update libptytty.
841 - update iom.C, make it call ptytty::sanitise_stdfd on init.
842 - when !XFT, change rounding of colours to use a less correct formula to
843 meet user expectancies (#aaa becomes #a000a000a000 not #9f9f9f9f9f9f).
844 - change the starting offset of the pixmap set with backgroundPixmap
845 from (50,50) to (0,0) (exg).
846 - fix a typo in button_release, now meta-button2 request the value of
847 the Clipboard selection as it should (patch by Serge Koksharov).
848 - fix a bug in drawing a cell with a nonspacing char when using an xft
849 font with inheritPixmap and tintColor (exg).
850
8518.1 Thu Dec 7 22:27:25 CET 2006
852 - ｹﾘｽﾏｽﾌ゚ﾚｾ゙ﾝﾄ - zomg!!1, it's too early!!!
853 - fix the assumption that chars < 256 are single-width. Now
854 only assume this for codepoints 32 to 126 (reported by Dai.H.).
855 - $term->strwidth returned wide chars as width 1, because some jerk
856 confused min and max. Fixing this also fixes xim-onthespot.
857 Reported by Takano Akio.
858 - secondaryScroll is now enabled by default (as per the manpage),
859 reported by exg.
860 - correct the description of [percent]color rgba format in the manpage.
861 - incorporated macosx-clipboard extension by Samuel Ljungkvist.
862 - ignore (some) useless focus events (reported by mmc).
863 - updated compose table to unicode 5.0.0.
864
8658.0 Thu Nov 2 18:35:19 CET 2006
866 - combining characters cleared the area instead of creating an overlay,
867 thus losing the ability to draw combining characters properly in most
868 circumstances (reported by exg).
869 - specified fonts were incorrectly morphed to bold/italic according to the
870 basefont, even if explicitly specified (tracked down by tpope).
871 - fixed urxvt::strwidth to calculate width in the same way as screen.C.
872 - fix a crash caused by passing negative widths to overlay functions.
873 - added 'matcher' extension by tpope, replacing the mark-urls extension.
874 - improve url regex to match anything www.* (tpope).
875 - fixed bug with outline cursor color being wrong after xft fonts.
876 - update to libptytty-1.0.
877 - give proper diagnostic when RXVT_SOCKET is too long instead of
878 corrupting the stack (patch by exg).
879 - display current terminal locale in option menu.
880 - urxvtd no longer crashes when the client sends an inaccessible
881 working directory (reported by Roland Baer, possibly fixes gentoo
882 bug #143985).
883 - fixed many minor issues reported by Roland Baer.
884 - Leonid Khramov spotted a minor glitch in rxvtfont.C that
885 should not have any consequences, but was buggy nonetheless.
886 - manpage fix by exg.
887
8887.9 Mon Aug 7 18:16:07 CEST 2006
889 - fix the crashing bug people encountered with 7.8 + urxvtd + perl
890 + transparency. Ought to fix debian bug #380348.
891 - fix urxvtc.1.pod: it actually claimed -pty-fd would not work. But
892 it does! :->
893 - rxvt_fatal() in case the locale string is too long for our static buffer.
894 - fixed many, many, typos in the manpages (patch supplied by ves).
895
8967.8 Mon Jul 17 21:00:46 CEST 2006
897 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: this version will always read ~/.Xdefaults,
898 earlier versions only read it if display-resources (usually from
899 .Xresources) are not set. This avoids the #1 FAQ ("why isn't my
900 resource used") and seems to be logical behaviour, too. .Xdefaults
901 resources have a lower priority than display-specific resources.
902 - add "kuake" perl extension that does a similar thing to the kuake
903 terminal emulator (see man urxvtperl).
904 - use less "correct" color scaling that is compatible with libX11 and
905 Xft (avoids off-by-one colors resulting in striped backgrounds).
906 - the "depth" resource is now respected.
907 - preset the searchable-scrollback pattern with "(?i)" to default search
908 to case-insensitivity. Will automatically be cleared when typing an
909 uppercase character.
910 - add FORCE_UNBUFFERED_XFT define to features.h.
911 - re-enabled highlightcolor support with --enable-frills, based on
912 a patch by Martin Stubenschrott.
913 - double-buffered xft drawing did suffer from pixel offset issues
914 when pixmap transparency was enabled.
915 - strategically add # to the url-match regexes, as we really want to
916 match common URIs not common URLs. Reported by Aaron Griffin.
917 - moved on_osc_seq to on_osc_seq_perl and added a more
918 generic osc_seq.
919 - fix a bug causing double callback invocations when perl hooks
920 were invoked recursively.
921 - the automove-background extension now properly works when the
922 pixmap gets reset with an osc sequence (sqweek).
923 - selection-pastebin did not work properly with non-latin1-characters.
924 - apply colorUL only when the text colour is the default fg
925 (patch by Wu Fengguang).
926 - removed rxvtlib.h from the tarball, it had no reason to be there
927 (spotted by Decklin Foster).
928 - fix compiling with TRANSPARENT but !XPM_BACKGROUND, as reported
929 by omatunto_.
930 - slap in a using namespace std, might help on platforms that don't
931 follow C++ closely enough.
932 - fix mailto url regex, spotted within milliseconds by Jost Krieger.
933 - applied fade_color_update_func.patch by WU Fengguang.
934 - fix a bug where (due to an optimisation in av_delete), hiding the
935 bottom-most overlay would hide two overlays.
936
9377.7 Tue Feb 21 12:32:49 CET 2006
938 - use double-buffered drawing (xft fonts only). On many driver/hardware
939 combination this actually increases xft drawing speed, at the expense
940 of more network bandwidth and slight nausea on the side of the author.
941 - readline perl extension now requires shift-click instead of a normal
942 click, and eats the click.
943 - tabbed perl extension now supports -e.
944 - disabled graphics-exposures on the main drawing GC, report any
945 refresh bugs please.
946 - improve property handling for -pe tabbed: avoid unnecessary property
947 changes (for kde's benefit) at the expense of extra round-trips,
948 improve size hint setting.
949 - modified XIM according to a patch sent by Takano Akio that sets
950 the preedit rectangle for OverTheSpot, which helps some input methods
951 to correctly position their preedit window.
952 - un-optimise the line clearing on newly scrolled-in lines a bit: the
953 former reasoning was that any fg colour on default bg looks the same
954 in empty spaces, but that's not true when reversing (e.g. selection),
955 so also check for matching fg colours. This fixes the problem where
956 selecting newly scrolled-in lines would exhibit wrong colours.
957 - fix a bug in the perl interface causing focus in events to generate
958 focus out perl events, causing bad focus effects with -pe tabbed.
959 - fix a race resulting in a crash on exiting.
960 - fix a with --disable-xft that caused xfreecolors to be called on
961 colors never allocated, resulting in aborts (reported by Paco-Paco).
962 - resources on non-initial screens weren't refetched correctly
963 (reported by Paco-Paco).
964 - fix a bug in xcopyarea pass and _disable_ it, as it seems not to be
965 working in either rxvt-unicode nor in the original rxvt.
966 - removed undocumented -exec alias for the -e option.
967
9687.6 Fri Feb 10 08:52:36 CET 2006
969 - changed interpretation of [alpha] colour prefix.
970 - +option now really sets the option to default, instead of using the
971 resource value.
972 - options that require an argument now really _require_ an argument.
973 - the tabbed extension now forwards focus and key events to the
974 relevant tab window.
975 - tab colours are now configurable and have sensible defaults
976 (initial patch by hednod).
977 - option menu is extendable, readline, selection and
978 selection-autotransform can now be disabled/enabled at runtime.
979 - forcing a configure event to tabbed subwindows with -pe tabbed, for
980 the benefit of automove-background.
981 - the automove-background extension added a wrong constant offset.
982 - force refresh of XA_RESOURCE_STRING on virtual reconnect.
983 - return exit status 2 in urxvtc when urxvtd couldn't be contacted.
984 - the linux yield hack is back, now using usleep, and enabled only on
985 __linux__.
986 - further round trip eliminations in the !XFT case by remembering
987 the colour components.
988 - plain scrollbar works better with -sr.
989 - fixed half-shadow scrollbar look.
990 - more colour rtt optimisations.
991 - properly(?) free colours on window close.
992 - reorganised the FAQ into multiple sections.
993 - add ISO646.1991-IRV to the list of supported codesets.
994 - minor libptytty update.
995
9967.5 Tue Jan 31 15:15:43 CET 2006
997 - further improvements to the careful mode detection, and font width
998 detection:
999 - fully double-wide fonts will now be correctly treated,
1000 - overlap detection was improved.
1001 - detect totally broken fonts (usually synthesized by xft).
1002 - careful mode forced refresh sometimes clashed with blinking,
1003 causing unnecessary screen redraws.
1004 - better handling of XFT combining characters.
1005 - enable antialiasing for some replacement fonts, as they
1006 might get used for other encodings which really need it, later.
1007 - remove spacing=100 from all default fonts, as this creates totally
1008 weird spacing (5 times normal) with xft.
1009 - removed iso10646 fallback, as xorgs iso10646 encoded fonts are mostly
1010 broken.
1011 - removed gnu unifont fallback, all combining characters are broken.
1012 - replace named colours by xorg's rgb.txt equivalents, to
1013 reduce round trip time on startup, and short-cut allocation
1014 of rgb:rr/gg/bb for xft.
1015 - short-cut allocation of rgb values in the xlib case
1016 (patch by Paco-Paco).
1017 - overhauled color management: smaller codesize, alpha support.
1018 - support "rgba:rrrr/gggg/bbbb/aaaa" color specifications and
1019 an "[alpha]" prefix.
1020 - try to work around Xft and Xrender forcing everything to be 100%
1021 transparent. Long Live Xft!
1022 - do not include X11/Intrinsic.h anymore, directly use
1023 Xlib/Xutil/Xresource directly.
1024 - try to find a nearest matching color when color allocation fails
1025 on a pseudocolor screen.
1026 - SYNCCVS: compared to rxvt-cvs 2006-01-28, no relevant changes.
1027 - fix version report (DA) (which was unfortunately broken).
1028 - changed version number report again, now to emulate xterm closer.
1029 - added the OSC sequence 702 to detect the urxvt version number.
1030 - small configure updates.
1031 - further RTT optimisations.
1032 - backported clean-up patches for makefiles and documentation from
1033 the debian package.
1034 - updated doc/rxvt-unicode.spec file. It's still not maintained here,
1035 but much newer than the old one.
