146.0
15 - make it compile without SMART_RESIZE again.
16 - enable slow link support by default.
17 - fix relative cursor-positioning not respecting scrolling regions
18 (also a bug in original rxvt).
19 - initialize termios structure to zero when fetching it fails
20 (see http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=84647 for a
21 partial patch).
22 - bump max columns/rows to 10000 each.
23 - bump max savelines to 10000000.
24 - major code cleanup (still not complete, though).
25 - implement -hold option.
26 - _major_ rewrite of internal buffer handling:
27 - re-flow on resize, lines get wrapped instead of winged.
28 - circular line buffer (substantially speeds up scrolling).
29 - slightly less code + data memory usage per terminal.
30 - slight overall speed improvements.
31 - considerably improved code clarity.
32 - partial-screen scrolls no longer end up in the scrollback
33 buffer.

36 - fix a bug in the menu code of unknown impact, found by darix.
37 - clean up signal handling to be global, not per terminal
38 (matters only for rxvtd).
39 - fix small typoe in rxvt.1 (found by Mike Fabian).
40 - don't crash when broken xft/fontconfig/freetype versions return
41 bogus data, ignore the xft font instead (experienced on suse).

48 the documentation and common sense: when upgrading, replace your
49 percentage by 100-percentage.

20 synchronous, so many bells might inhibit screen updates in other 53 synchronous, so many bells might inhibit screen updates in other
21 windows. 54 windows.
55 - text with background==foreground colour gets displayed with default
56 bg/fg now when in reverse video, so it can be seen when selecting.
57 - allow koi8r* as x11 encoding name for koi8r (Nikita Danilov).
58 - removed undocumented inheritPixmapforce option.
59 - replaced INSTALL file.
