136.1
14 - fix a crash when the selection scrolls out of the scrollback
15 while the user still drags.
16 - selections that were partially scrolled out of the window were
17 not drawn correctly.
18
196.0 Sat Dec 24 13:58:56 CET 2005
20 - make it compile without SMART_RESIZE again.
21 - enable slow link support by default.
22 - fix relative cursor-positioning not respecting scrolling regions
23 (also a bug in original rxvt).
24 - initialize termios structure to zero when fetching it fails
25 (see http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=84647 for a
26 partial patch).
27 - bump max columns/rows to 10000 each.
28 - bump max savelines to 10000000.
29 - -pty-fd now passes the urxvtc fd to the urxvtd process.
30 - avoid linking against -lnsl/-lsocket/-lxpg4 unless neccessary.
31 - major code cleanup (still not complete, though).
32 - implement -hold option.
33 - _major_ rewrite of internal buffer handling:
34 - re-flow on resize, lines get wrapped instead of winged.
35 - circular line buffer (substantially speeds up scrolling).
36 - slightly less code + data memory usage per terminal.
37 - slight overall speed improvements.
38 - considerably improved code clarity.
39 - partial-screen scrolls no longer end up in the scrollback
40 buffer.
41

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

20 synchronous, so many bells might inhibit screen updates in other 60 synchronous, so many bells might inhibit screen updates in other
21 windows. 61 windows.
62 - text with background==foreground colour gets displayed with default
63 bg/fg now when in reverse video, so it can be seen when selecting.
64 - allow koi8r* as x11 encoding name for koi8r (Nikita Danilov).
65 - removed undocumented inheritPixmapforce option.
66 - replaced INSTALL file.
