136.0
14 - make it compile without SMART_RESIZE again.
15 - enable slow link support by default.
16 - fix relative cursor-positioning not respecting scrolling regions
17 (also a bug in original rxvt).
18 - initialize termios structure to zero when fetching it fails
19 (see http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=84647 for a
20 partial patch).
21 - bump max columns/rows to 10000 each.
22 - bump max savelines to 10000000.
23 - -pty-fd now passes the urxvtc fd to the urxvtd process.
24 - avoid linking against -lnsl/-lsocket/-lxpg4 unless neccessary.
25 - major code cleanup (still not complete, though).
26 - implement -hold option.
27 - _major_ rewrite of internal buffer handling:
28 - re-flow on resize, lines get wrapped instead of winged.
29 - circular line buffer (substantially speeds up scrolling).
30 - slightly less code + data memory usage per terminal.
31 - slight overall speed improvements.
32 - considerably improved code clarity.
33 - partial-screen scrolls no longer end up in the scrollback
34 buffer.

39 (matters only for rxvtd).
40 - fix small typoe in rxvt.1 (found by Mike Fabian).
41 - don't crash when broken xft/fontconfig/freetype versions return
42 bogus data, ignore the xft font instead (experienced on suse).
