24TODO: depth resource not working(?)
25TODO: fix the flaw in the url regex jost pointed out
26TODO: look into the selection hilight patch
27TODO: implement smartcase-like search in searchable-scrollback
28 - add FORCE_UNBUFFERED_XFT define to features.h.
29 - double-buffered xft drawing did suffer from pixel offset issues
30 when pixmap transparency was enabled.
31 - moved on_osc_seq to on_osc_seq_perl and added a more
32 generic osc_seq.
33 - fix a bug causing double callback invocations when perl hooks
34 were invoked recursively.
35 - the automove-background extension now properly works when the
36 pixmap gets reset with an osc sequence (sqweek).
37 - selection-pastebin did not work properly with non-latin1-characters.
38 - apply colorUL only when the text colour is the default fg
39 (patch by Wu Fengguang).
40 - removed rxvtlib.h from the tarball, it had no reason to be there
41 (spotted by Decklin Foster).
42 - fix compiling with TRANSPARENT but !XPM_BACKGROUND, as reported
43 by omatunto_.
44 - slap in a using namespace std, might help on platforms that don't
45 follow C++ closely enough.
46
477.7 Tue Feb 21 12:32:49 CET 2006
48 - use double-buffered drawing (xft fonts only). On many driver/hardware
49 combination this actually increases xft drawing speed, at the expense
50 of more network bandwidth and slight nausea on the side of the author.
51 - readline perl extension now requires shift-click instead of a normal
52 click, and eats the click.
53 - tabbed perl extension now supports -e.
54 - disabled graphics-exposures on the main drawing GC, report any
55 refresh bugs please.
56 - improve property handling for -pe tabbed: avoid unnecessary property
57 changes (for kde's benefit) at the expense of extra round-trips,
58 improve size hint setting.
59 - modified XIM according to a patch sent by Takano Akio that sets
60 the preedit rectangle for OverTheSpot, which helps some input methods
61 to correctly position their preedit window.
62 - un-optimise the line clearing on newly scrolled-in lines a bit: the
63 former reasoning was that any fg colour on default bg looks the same
64 in empty spaces, but thats not true when reversing (e.g. selection),
65 so also check for matching fg colours. This fixes the problem where
66 selecting newly scrolled-in lines would exhibit wrong colours.
67 - fix a bug in the perl interface causing focus in events to generate
68 focus out perl events, causing bad focus effects with -pe tabbed.
69 - fix a race resulting in a crash on exiting.
70 - fix a with --disable-xft that caused xfreecolors to be called on
71 colors never allocated, resulting in aborts (reported by Paco-Paco).
72 - resources on non-initial screens weren't refetched correctly
73 (reported by Paco-Paco).
74 - fix a bug in xcopyarea pass and _disable_ it, as it seems not to be
75 working in either rxvt-unicode nor in the original rxvt.
76 - removed undocumented -exec alias for the -e option.
77
787.6 Fri Feb 10 08:52:36 CET 2006
79 - changed interpretation of [alpha] colour prefix.
80 - +option now really sets the option to default, instead of using the
81 resource value.
82 - options that require an argument now really _require_ an argument.
83 - the tabbed extension now forwards focus and keys events to th
84 relevant tab window.
85 - tab colours are now configurable and have sensible defaults
86 (initial patch by hednod).
87 - option menu is extendable, readline, selection and
88 selection-autotransform can now be disabled/enabled at runtime.
89 - forcing a configure event to tabbed subwindows with -pe tabbed, for
90 the benefit of automove-background.
91 - the automove-background extension added a wrong constant offset.
92 - force refresh of XA_RESOURCE_STRING on virtual reconnect.
93 - return exit status 2 in urxvtc when urxvtd couldn't be contacted.
94 - the linux yield hack is back, now using usleep, and enabled only on
95 __linux__.
96 - further round trip eliminations in the !XFT case by remembering
97 the colour components.
98 - plain scrollbar works better with -sr.
99 - fixed half-shadow scrollbar look.
100 - more colour rtt optimisations.
101 - properly(?) free colours on window close.
102 - reorganised the FAQ into multiple sections.
103 - add ISO646.1991-IRV to the list of supported codesets.
104 - minor libptytty update.
105
1067.5 Tue Jan 31 15:15:43 CET 2006
107 - further improvements to the careful mode detection, and font width
108 detection:
109 - fully double-wide fonts will now be correctly treated,
110 - overlap detection was improved.
111 - detect totally broken fonts (usually synthesized by xft).
112 - careful mode forced refresh sometimes clashed with blinking,
113 causing unnecessary screen redraws.
114 - better handling of XFT combining characters.
115 - enable antialiasing for some replacement fonts, as they
116 might get used for other encodings which really need it, later.
117 - remove spacing=100 from all default fonts, as this creates totally
118 weird spacing (5 times normal) with xft.
119 - removed iso10646 fallback, as xorgs iso10646 encoded fonts are mostly
120 broken.
121 - removed gnu unifont fallback, all combining characters are broken.
122 - replace named colours by xorg's rgb.txt equivalents, to
123 reduce round trip time on startup, and short-cut allocation
124 of rgb:rr/gg/bb for xft.
125 - short-cut allocation of rgb values in the xlib case
126 (patch by Paco-Paco).
127 - overhauled color management: smaller codesize, alpha support.
128 - support "rgba:rrrr/gggg/bbbb/aaaa" color specifications and
129 an "[alpha]" prefix.
130 - try to work around Xft and Xrender forcing everything to be 100%
131 transparent. Long Live Xft!
132 - do not include X11/Intrinsic.h anymore, directly use
133 Xlib/Xutil/Xresource directly.
134 - try to find a nearest matching color when color allocation fails
135 on a pseudocolor screen.
136 - SYNCCVS: compared to rxvt-cvs 2006-01-28, no relevant changes.
137 - fix version report (DA) (which was unfortunately broken).
138 - changed version number report again, now to emulate xterm closer.
139 - added the OSC sequence 702 to detect the urxvt version number.
140 - small configure updates.
141 - further RTT optimisations.
142
1437.4 Sat Jan 28 15:26:27 CET 2006
144 - screen background wasn't always erased properly when scrolling,
145 - re-enabled clearing optimisation disabled in 7.4pre.
146 - small configure updates for libptytty.
147 - fixed version options: line output.
148 - removed stoopid debugging message left in the code.
149
1507.3 Wed Jan 25 22:47:35 CET 2006
151 - don't let iso14755 or mouse reporting get into the way of perl
152 (could lead to global grabs never being cleared).
153 - experimental OnTheSpot editing support (-pe xim-onthespot).
154 - moved Shift-Button2 paste combination to Meta-Button2.
155 - the cutchars resource will now be respected and used by the
156 selection extension.
157 - added the "remote-clipboard" extension which just runs external
158 commands to fetch and store the selection data.
159 - added -depth switch that tries to get a different visual depth
160 than the default (replaces the old PREFER_24_BIT logic).
161 - removed (unused) arabic presentation form composing sequences.
162 - be more strict when deciding that a core font glyph is too wide and
163 needs the careful rendering mode.
164 - allow more leeway for italic fonts when deciding that a character is
165 too wide and needs careful mode.
166 - redraw even more characters around characters using careful mode.
167 - made selection-pastebin fully asynchronous.
168 - reduced number of server turnarounds at startup by allocating
169 atoms only once per display.
170 - renamed on_keyboard_command to on_user_command.
171 - changed version sos (ESC [ > c) response to be more compatible with
172 xterm.
173
1747.2 Sun Jan 22 21:58:16 CET 2006
175 - bugfix: urxvt (not urxvtd) did not correctly handle multiple
176 environments necessary, which resulted in segfaults within
177 getenv (reproducable: urxvt -fn 9x15, open a menu once,
178 ctrl-shift-672c).
179 - bugfix: the selection speedup in in 7.1 unfortunately caused
180 non-ascii characters to enlarge/move the selection.
181 - bugfix: resizing sometimes leaked lines from the secondary to
182 the primary screen.
183 - bugfix: reducing window size while large amounts of text were output
184 could lead to an assertion failure.
185 - added "tabbed" extension that provides a crude tabbed terminal.
186 - added "readline" extension that allows cursor positioning
187 via mouse clicks.
188 - now it is possible to insert the value of the CLIPBOARD selection
189 with shift - mouse button 2.
190 - fixed the automove-background extension to ignore coordinates
191 in non-synthetic events.
192 - created a separate libpty for portable and secure
193 pty/tty/utmp/wtmp/lastlog handling, and include it in rxvt-unicode.
194 - the non-terminfo visual bell now works asynchronously, so
195 continuous ASCI BELs in one terminal do no longer monopolise the
196 whole urxvt[d] process.
197 - support some *BSD makes (for the time being, gnu make is a safe bet).
198 - work around bugs in FreeBSD's gcc.
199 - implemented some *BSD fixes in configure.
200 - removed support for obsolete offix dnd protocol.
201
2027.1 Thu Jan 19 20:25:34 CET 2006
203 - setuid/setgid operation is now _encouraged_: security has been
204 improved by moving privileged operations into a separate process
205 and permanently dropping privileges within the terminal. This
206 makes it possible to remove security checks from the perl code
207 and gives a much safer feeling when urxvt needs to run with
208 special privileges.
209 - perl taint checking disabled, as urxvt no longer runs setuid/setgid
210 itself.
211 - new perl extension automove-background that can be used to get
212 the same effect as pseudo-transparency with any pixmap.
213 - new perl extension example: perl/selection-pastebin, can be used to
214 e.g. upload the selection to a webserver and generate a url, or
215 similar stuff.
216 - use the scrollback buffer even when the scroll region doesn't
217 span the whole screen, as long as it starts at row 0. Helps
218 for programs displaying a status line at the bottom.
219 - selection popup now shows selection in dec/hex/oct.
220 - perl/selection: matching on unicode characters in the selection
221 code was O(n²), which equals infinity in some degenerate cases
222 :-> Matching is now done on UTF-8, which makes it almost instant.
223 - perl/selection, perl/selection-autotransform: regexes are now
224 being interpreted in the locale urxvt was started.
225 - implemented override-redirect option and enabled it on menus,
226 as kwin puts our windows behind the terminal (what a shoddy wm).
227 - fixed struct utmp check in configure for OpenBSD.
228 - complete overhaul of the pty/utmp management stuff and configure
229 (Emanuele Giaquinta).
230 - add tsl/fsl and related capabilities to the terminfo description,
231 to set the window title.
232 - swap the environment in some more cases. This hopefully fixes
233 some segfaults that might be caused by xft asking for env variables
234 at the wrong time.
235 - removed src/strings.C and src/menubar.C. No menubar support
236 anymore.
237 - removed all traces of SMOOTH_REFRESH.
238 - nuked QNX support.
239 - made some fixes to xpm offset and scaling code.
240 - perl-overlays and refresh hooks were not applied in correct order.
241 - changed coordinate-system of view_start/nsaved to be top to bottom.
242 - iom extended to support listening for child exits.
243
2447.0 Fri Jan 13 14:02:18 CET 2006
245 - added sections for DISTRIBUTION MAINTAINERS and about
246 SETUID/SETGID to the FAQ.
247 - selection, searchable-scrollback, selection-popup and
248 option-popup extensions enabled by default.
249 - increased xft drawing speed for problematic fonts. The effect
250 will likely be small as 99% of the xft slowness is server-related.
251 - perl: much increased functionality, better overlays, popup support
252 and much much more.
253 - perl: urxvt::line now can set via ->t and ->r.
254 - perl: changed interpretation of --perl-ext-common and -pe.
255 - perl: finally implemented --perl-eval.
256 - perl: non-blocking anyevent support.
257 - perl: run tainted and ignore perl-eval/perl-lib if started
258 setuid/setgid.
259 - free the resource database: this plugs a massive memory leak. As a
260 side effect, it also gets rid of XGetDefault calls.
261 - free one of the cursors, fixes a small memory leak.
262 - built-in (as opposed to terminfos) visual bell was broken/too fast.
263 - applied minor cleanups by Ladislav Michnovic.
264 - applied pty handling cleanups and improvements (Emanuele Giaquinta).
265 - mark-urls launch-on-click by jepler.
266 - removed "small" resource parsing function, as it wasn't really
267 compatible, and not really small either.
268 - removed PATH_ENV and PATH file search support.
269 - removed support for locale-specific app-defaults file.
270 - fixed a bug where out-of-bounds colour sequences could lead
271 to crashes.
272 - limit colour changing to the standard 88 palette instead of all
273 colours.
274 - XTerm_Color01 sequence returned wrong results in query mode.
275 - iom.C now checks against destructed io_manager when unregistering.
276
2776.3 Wed Jan 4 22:37:10 CET 2006
278 - SECURITY FIX: on systems using openpty, permissions were
279 not correctly updated on the tty device and were left as
280 world-readable and world-writable (likely in original rxvt,
281 too), and were not restored properly. Affected are only
282 systems where non-unix ptys were used (such as most BSDs, not
283 GNU/Linux). (found, patched and debugged by Ryan Beasley).
284 - meta8 support was forcefully enabled in most configurations.
285 restored configurability of this (useless) feature (reported
286 by Mikachu).
287 - optionally embed a perl interpreter, which can be used for more
288 intelligent/customized selection support, visual feedback,
289 menus, tabs etc. See the the urxvtperl manpage, the -pe option,
290 perl*-resources and keysym resources. Not everything is there yet.
291 - try to be more clever about differing font sizes and their ascent.
292 Not guarenteed to work, but works better in most cases now.
293 - fix directory permissions on install.
294 - implemented option to disable built-in line drawing characters
295 and fall back to the font ones (patch by Martin Pohlack).
296 - disabled sched_yield support: the linux version is just too useless
297 (it schedules nice'd processes before the own one for extended
298 periods). Too bad, it could reduce system time by a factor of 5 here.
299
3006.2 Mon Jan 2 16:03:01 CET 2006
301 - implemented intensityStyles option which enables/disables bold/blink
302 selecting high intensity foreground/background colours, suggested by
303 Chuck Blake.
304 - move iso14755 character feedback box out of the way if it would
305 obscure the mouse cursor position.
306 - replaced callback.h by a fixed version from gvpe that correctly
307 returns the callback result (affects new -pty-fd semantics in urxvtc
308 on a few architectures). Reported by darix.
309 - include one trailing space in rectangular selections to indicate
310 the inserted newline (yeah, weird, but visually more pleasing).
311 - try to use sched_yield to (drastically) improve terminal data
312 transfer efficiency.
313 - further minor cleanups.
314
3156.1 Tue Dec 27 13:23:40 CET 2005
316 - update iso8859-7 table (euro and drachma round-trip et al.).
317 - fix a crash when the selection scrolls out of the scrollback
318 while the user still drags.
319 - selections that were partially scrolled out of the window were
320 not drawn correctly.
321 - lines newly scrolled in were not initialized properly, leading
322 to extremely long lines and (hopefully) some segfaults.
323 - iso14755 overlay position was wrong.
324 - iso14755 overlay now displays rendition info, too.
325 - use unicode white space class instead of hardcoded values for
326 stripping whitespace.
327 - do whitespace stripping on rectangular selections.
328 - slight cleanups in src/features.h.
329
3306.0 Sat Dec 24 13:58:56 CET 2005
331 - make it compile without SMART_RESIZE again.
332 - enable slow link support by default.
333 - fix relative cursor-positioning not respecting scrolling regions
334 (also a bug in original rxvt).
335 - initialize termios structure to zero when fetching it fails
336 (see http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=84647 for a
337 partial patch).
338 - bump max columns/rows to 10000 each.
339 - bump max savelines to 10000000.
340 - -pty-fd now passes the urxvtc fd to the urxvtd process.
341 - avoid linking against -lnsl/-lsocket/-lxpg4 unless neccessary.
342 - major code cleanup (still not complete, though).
343 - implement -hold option.
344 - _major_ rewrite of internal buffer handling:
345 - re-flow on resize, lines get wrapped instead of winged.
346 - circular line buffer (substantially speeds up scrolling).
347 - slightly less code + data memory usage per terminal.
348 - slight overall speed improvements.
349 - considerably improved code clarity.
350 - partial-screen scrolls no longer end up in the scrollback
351 buffer.
352
3535.9 Sat Dec 17 21:53:17 CET 2005
354 - fix a bug in the menu code of unknown impact, found by darix.
355 - clean up signal handling to be global, not per terminal
356 (matters only for rxvtd).
357 - fix small typoe in rxvt.1 (found by Mike Fabian).
358 - don't crash when broken xft/fontconfig/freetype versions return
359 bogus data, ignore the xft font instead (experienced on suse).
360
3615.8 Tue Oct 25 22:21:45 CEST 2005
362 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: many configure options are now on by default.
363 If you want the old behaviour, try:
364 configure --disable-everything <your enable options>
365 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: -fade changed it's meaning to comply with
366 the documentation and common sense: when upgrading, replace your
367 percentage by 100-percentage.
368 - integrated "fade to specific colour" patch by Martin Parm.
369 - slow down the internal visual bell (delay by 20ms) and update
370 the terminfo flash code to use the same delay. This is
371 synchronous, so many bells might inhibit screen updates in other
372 windows.
373 - text with background==foreground colour gets displayed with default
374 bg/fg now when in reverse video, so it can be seen when selecting.
375 - allow koi8r* as x11 encoding name for koi8r (Nikita Danilov).
376 - removed undocumented inheritPixmapforce option.
377 - replaced INSTALL file.
378
3795.7 Wed Jul 13 04:46:33 CEST 2005
380 - implement some useful (hopefully) options for rxvtd.
381 - separate and improved rxvtc(1) and rxvtd(1) manpages.
382 - fix a bug that caused segfaults on startup on systems that do
383 not support local unix connections, e.g cygwin. (btw, I didn't
384 even know about the -rootless and -multiwindow Cygwin/X modes).
385 - large amounts of text without control sequences or newlines
386 could almost freeze output. This has been fixed by adding extra
387 refreshes in these cases (also a problem in original rxvt).
388
3895.6 Sun Jun 26 22:11:13 CEST 2005
390 - R_SB_RXVT bitset value was 0, so rxvt scrollbar was initialised
391 every time resulting in display errors (original rxvt also affected).
392 Reported by Jasmin Buchert.
393 - font names are now considered to be utf-8 encoded (xft apperently
394 uses this convention. X Core fonts might not, but it should be rare).
395 Affects display in iso14755 box.
396 - rewrote the low-level xft drawing function ("xft backend" for the
397 hipper parts of the world) to hopefully cope better with proportional
398 chars mixed with fixed-width ones.
399 - rxvt is now much more careful (read: slower) with potentially
400 overlapping xft characters. It usually overshoots and redraws
401 more than required, but that's better than undershooting and
402 cutting pieces off of characters.
403 - rxvt is now more restrictive in what font heights it accepts for
404 fonts that will likely overshoot or undershoot lines.
405 - fix a cosmetic problem with the unfocused cursor on a wide character
406 at the end of the line (reported by Mikachu).
407 - wide characters not fitting into the end of the line will be
408 output in the next line (reported by Mikachu).
409 - added doc/solaris9.patch by Ewgenij Starostin.
410
4115.5 Sat Apr 23 22:31:36 CEST 2005
412 - re-enabled modifer state matching as in 5.3, but implement
413 a new builtin: keysym style that simply reverts to the built-in
414 meaning of the given key.
415 - use scrollcolor for next scrollbar instead of hardcoded antiquewhite
416 (patch by Martin Edlman).
417
4185.4 Mon Apr 18 00:33:31 CEST 2005
419 - match modifier state exactly in custom keyboard code.
420 this is necessary because it has no knowledge about
421 built-in mappings and so will overwrite them. the priority-code
422 will be re-enabled when this has changed, so watch out.
423 - cursor blinking now depends on frills.
424 - underline cursor mode (frills, -uc).
425 - implement special value (*g*) for pointerBlankDelay
426 to disable it.
427
4285.3 Sun Mar 13 00:20:44 CET 2005
429 - fix a bug that allowed to overflow a buffer via a long
430 escape sequence, which is probably exploitable (fix by
431 Rob Holland / Yoann Vandoorselaere / Gentoo Audit Team).
432 - Custom key mappings no longer confuse mouse buttons
433 with modifiers.
434 - use XmbSetWMProperties instead of XSetWMProperties.
435 - properly update WM_LOCALE.
436 - implement _NET_WM_PING protocol.
437 - implemented escape sequences to move the scrollback buffer view
438 and clear the scrollback buffer.
439
4405.2 Sun Feb 20 01:48:59 CET 2005
441 - new option -pty-fd that makes the terminal a slave
442 that uses an existing pty for I/O instead of starting
443 a command.
444 - implement enough of XEMBED to allow for correct focus.
445 - added doc/embed-tk, an embedding example in Perl/Tk,
446 and doc/rxvt-tabbed, a primitive tabbed shell implemented
447 in Perl/Gtk2.
448 - fix assertion failure ("crash") on mousewheel-scrolling
449 when the terminal height is small, by removing the assert.
450 (reported by Mikael Magnusson).
451 - SYNCCVS. backported bugfixes done to rxvt
452 (sourceforge bugs #1028739, #1028732), except for
453 pts/%s fix as it seems to collide with freebsd,
454 and sourceforge bug #954654, which is not neccessary.
455 - change terminfo file to not clobber G1 when using
456 line-drawing characters, as this seems to mess
457 with EUC-JP (it will clobber G0, but G0 practically
458 needs to be US-ASCII all the time).
459 - toggle default application keypad/cursor mode to help
460 some apps who fail to set the correct mode.
461 - check for WM_PROTOCOLS type in ClientMessage as to
462 not destroy the window for other types of messages.
463 - remove shared library (or any library) support - it is
464 of no use currently (and -embed is a better way to embed
465 rxvt-unicode).
466 - get rid of the intpro files.
467
4685.1 Tue Feb 15 17:13:27 CET 2005
469 - fix a bug when parsing fontnames and another one
470 for empty keymaps which could result in crashes
471 (Kuang-che Wu).
472 - new option: -embed (frills). somebody could write a simple
473 tk script to make a tab'able terminal now...
474 - only warn on X errors and _try_ to continue (frills).
475 - add COPYING back, which got lost somehow.
476 - after deciding that LSM is dead, remove all traces of it,
477 along with other, similar, cleanups.
478 - _try_ to react sensibly to some non-monotonic time changes.
479 - don't crash in urxvtc when getcwd fails (reported by Paco-Paco).
480 - tweak font searching algorithm a bit to be faster and more
481 compatible with older rxvt-unicode versions when multiple fonts
482 match (reported by Paco-Paco).
483 - urxvtd tries to stay in "/" whenever possible.
484
4855.0 Fri Feb 11 18:31:48 CET 2005
486 - document a race-free hack to start urxvtd.
487 - document all(?) environment variables used and set by rxvt.
488 - bring xgetdefault-style resource file ordering more in line with
489 Xt, and document it in rxvt(1).
490 - correctly use screen-dependent resources when --enable-xgetdefault,
491 and also fix some memory bugs (thanks to Thierry Reding for
492 his patience and time in tracking this down).
493 - bring own resource parsing more in line with X resource parsing,
494 most notably, don't remove double quotes.
495 - compile fix for freebsd (no ut_id) (Thierry Thomas).
496 - clean up utmp and pty on X I/O errors and signals (idea
497 by Joël Riou).
498 - "un"document -xrm, it never really worked, was only
499 available with --enable-xgetdefault, is not necessary
500 and is surprisingly hard to implement.
501 - shaved off some code segment size.
502 - various code cleanups.
503 - more keysym-mapping fixes.
504
5054.9 Thu Feb 3 09:52:03 CET 2005
506 - nuke out utmp entries completely. Should be fixed in
507 original rxvt, too. (reported by James Michael Fultz).
508 - resizes wil now correctly refresh the displayed text when
509 -pixmap is active.
510 - new option/resource imFont.
511 - document --tripleclickwords/-tcw.
512 - select logical instead of physical lines when doing a triple-click.
513 - reordered help listing to group similar options together.
514 - handle SIGINT the same way as SIGTERM (reported by Joël Riou).
515 - fix a bug introduced while applying the keyboard patch
516 (WU Fengguang).
517 - document all window-op sequences (rxvt.7.) and more keysym
518 examples (rxvt.1).
519 - removed src/test completely.
520 - renamed keysym 'proto:'-prefix to 'command:'.
521
5224.8 Tue Jan 18 02:23:57 CET 2005
523 - added a patch by WU Fengguang that makes the keyboard
524 highly configurable (e.g. locale changes, custom escape
525 sequences, and more). See keysym resource in rxvt(1).
526 - remove default key sequence for unknown keys again, as this
527 can be achieved by customizing the keyboard now.
528 - fix some freeing problems when destroying the rxvt_display,
529 resulting in segfaults.
530 - don't crash when the saved cursor position doesn't fit on the
531 screen (wrong assert in original rxvt, reported by ikaro).
532 - fix signed/unsigned bugs on wc<->mb conversions.
533 - reset slipwheel scrolling speed when reaching the top or bottom
534 (Mikael Magnusson).
535 - for core fonts, use ascent + descent when a font is loaded,
536 and PIXEL_SIZE when not. when loading a font, iterate until a
537 font has been found that _really_ fits the height (reported and
538 tested by Olivier Wittenberg).
539 - set IUTF8 input flag, when defined (linux-2.6.5+).
540 - only define _XOPEN_SOURCE on solaris.
541 - autogenerate src/* dependency list.
542 - fixed linespace option, which ought to work now (and is dependent
543 on frills, not on it's own configure option).
544 - include pty.h, if available (cygwin).
545 - removed W11 directory from dist, it wasn't used anyway.
546 - initialize the locale much earlier.
547 - fixed two tiny per-instance memory leaks.
548
5494.7 Wed Dec 29 20:54:24 CET 2004
550 - fix a bug in the event logic that could cause the temrinal to be
551 black on initial startup.
552 - do NOT call XCloseIM, ever. This causes way to many crashes due to
553 races in the protocol and within Xlib.
554 - map iso-left-tab to the same sequence as shift-tab.
555 - generate a unique escape sequence for many unknown keys, such as
556 additional multimedia keys.
557 - mask out high (non-unicode) bits on wide characters, to cope with
558 implementations that store tag info in the high bits.
559

20 turnarounds would be much faster, but impossible to implement. 565 turnarounds would be much faster, but impossible to implement(?).
566 - implement underlineColor resource when ENABLE_FRILLS.
567 - iom left it's signal pipe handle open in the child
568 process. Fortunately not security-relevant as the pipe data gets
569 ignored.
21 - do not use XSETROOTPMAP_ID anymore, support ESETROOT_PMAP_ID 570 - do not use XSETROOTPMAP_ID anymore, support ESETROOT_PMAP_ID
