11 - new configure option --enable-iso14755.
12 - full iso 14755 conformance (at least I claim so :).
13 - extended the FAQ section in the manpage.
14 - fix OverTheSpot and OffTheSpot editing, which was broken since ages,
15 due to no fontset being available. The fontset used is a very rough
16 approximation to the rxvt font, though. This fixes the
17 "cannot create input context" in most cases.
18 - fix coordinates used for Over && OffTheSpot editing to fit directly
19 at the cursor (Over) or into the top line (Off).
20 - reset SIGHUP and SIGPIPE handlers to default values (they were
21 previously being ignored, causing programs not to exit on windoe
22 close).
23 - implemented simple overlays for feedback messages. believe it or
24 not, this was a major blocker in implementign tabbed termianls.
25 - fix compiling with --disable-frills (Adam Sampson).
26 - clarify bold docs in README.unicode (Adam Sampson).
27 - fix crash on window close when the input method or context
28 could not be created.
29 - add work around for badly written programs (see debian bug
30 #202497). This is _not_ a bug in rxvt but rather a race
31 condition in other programs (e.g. jed). It works by forcefully
32 sending SIGWINCH when rxvt sees the first output from the
33 command. This workaround isn't perfect (a slight cost to
34 wellbehaving programs who need to resize twice), but it usually
35 works.
36 - set correct pixel size in struct winsize.
37 - document more escape sequences.
38 - fix leftover macros and a few minor doc glitches in rxvt(1).
39 - work around bash's assumption that stepping into the middle of a
40 character is a sensible operation.
41 - fix some corner cases in autowrap handling.
42 - remove various useless make cruft, renamed files to better
43 reflect on their function, renamed many variables.
44 - fixed printscreen functionality, as noted by Jinesh Choksi.
45 - fix a problem where redraws of double-width characters sometimes
46 made the last character draw with normal width (especially visible
47 with selections).

50 - SECURITY FIX: rxvtd kept open filehandles to other terminal
51 windows when spawning children. Actual risk is low (attacker
52 needs access to a local shell window).
53 - implemented parts 5.1 and 5.2 of ISO 14755 (i.e. hold down
54 Ctrl+Shift and enter hex numbers. space commits it as a unicode
55 character, or press and release Crl+Shift and then enter a
56 function key to get it's picture). patches for 5.3 (or 5.4 with
57 a little window or so) would be welcome.
58 - fixed large pastes (INCR selections, debian bug #191456).
59 - fixed longstanding bug in which rxvtd crashed when
60 a message was logged after startup (a rare case).
61 - got rid of yodl completely by converting to pod.
62 - integrated the FAQ into the manpage. In the future, more will be
63 added there.
64 - reference documentation is now installed as rxvt(7).
65 - rxvt(7) now contains README.configure, which is autogenerated.
66 - fix memory leak in insecure mode on certain display echos.
67 - report sequences now report empty strings in secure mode
68 instead of being ignored.
69 - enable some report sequences even in secure mode, such as colour
70 queries, as they are harmless(tm).
71 - rxvt-unicode will now try to find a matching xft font if it can't
72 find a matching font from the fallback list. It might look ugly,
73 but if a xft font with our character exists, rxvt will find it.
74 - moved FreeMono to the very back of the fallback list, as some
75 people complain it looks ugly. This is a no-win situation, though.
76 - fixed sourceforge bug 998970, reported against aterm:
77 "crash on -sl 0 on super small windows".
78 - decreased memory and code size when !--enable-transparency.
79 - SYNCCVS. backported changes done to rxvt, except for Color_ufbg,
80 which I think is better done through fading, and libW11, which
81 needs testing anyways.
82 - more complete compile options help output.
83 - Provide linear scaled colour cubes for 256 colour mode.
84 Pass them through as rgbi rather than rgb so that Xlib can
85 provide gamma (from per visual intensity lists) rather than
86 providing constant gamma ourselves. Noticed by and ideas from
87 Christopher Casey <realchriscasey@hotmail.com>
88 - minor doc fix.

903.5 Wed Aug 11 00:31:34 CEST 2004
91 - UPGRADE ADVISED: rxvt did wake up 100 times per second. did not
92 show in my top (linux...), but it's extremely annoying that I
93 released it with that bug. :( Fixed.
94 - use memove instead of for-loop for large scrollback buffer copies.
95 speeds up large scrollback buffers (on systems with reasonable
96 memmove :)
97 - minor cleanups.
98 - removed ~ from default cutchars, in accordance with the manpage
99 (debian bug #169415).
100 - fix a race condition on exit (debian bug #197265).
101 - change prio/next scrolling modifier handling (debian bug #226386).
102 - updated configure script to current autoconf standards.
103 - updated config.guess.
