19 - changed interpretation of [alpha] colour prefix.
20 - +option now really sets the option to default, instead of using the
21 resource value.
22 - further round trip eliminations in the !XFT case by remembering
23 the colour components.
24 - plain scrollbar works better with -sr.
25 - fixed half-shadow scrollbar look.
26 - reorganised the FAQ into multiple sections.

287.5 Tue Jan 31 15:15:43 CET 2006
29 - further improvements to the careful mode detection, and font width
30 detection:
31 - fully double-wide fonts will now be correctly treated,
32 - overlap detection was improved.
33 - detect totally broken fonts (usually synthesized by xft).
34 - careful mode forced refresh sometimes clashed with blinking,
35 causing unnecessary screen redraws.
36 - better handling of XFT combining characters.
37 - enable antialiasing for some replacement fonts, as they
38 might get used for other encodings which really need it, later.
39 - remove spacing=100 from all default fonts, as this creates totally
40 weird spacing (5 times normal) with xft.
41 - removed iso10646 fallback, as xorgs iso10646 encoded fonts are mostly
42 broken.
43 - removed gnu unifont fallback, all combining characters are broken.
44 - replace named colours by xorg's rgb.txt equivalents, to
45 reduce round trip time on startup, and short-cut allocation
46 of rgb:rr/gg/bb for xft.
47 - short-cut allocation of rgb values in the xlib case
48 (patch by Paco-Paco).
49 - overhauled color management: smaller codesize, alpha support.
50 - support "rgba:rrrr/gggg/bbbb/aaaa" color specifications and
51 an "[alpha]" prefix.
52 - try to work around Xft and Xrender forcing everything to be 100%
53 transparent. Long Live Xft!
54 - do not include X11/Intrinsic.h anymore, directly use
55 Xlib/Xutil/Xresource directly.
56 - try to find a nearest matching color when color allocation fails
57 on a pseudocolor screen.
58 - SYNCCVS: compared to rxvt-cvs 2006-01-28, no relevant changes.
59 - fix version report (DA) (which was unfortunately broken).
60 - changed version number report again, now to emulate xterm closer.
61 - added the OSC sequence 702 to detect the urxvt version number.
62 - small configure updates.
63 - further RTT optimisations.
64
657.4 Sat Jan 28 15:26:27 CET 2006
66 - screen background wasn't always erased properly when scrolling,
67 - re-enabled clearing optimisation disabled in 7.4pre.
68 - small configure updates for libptytty.
69 - fixed version options: line output.
70 - removed stoopid debugging message left in the code.
71
727.3 Wed Jan 25 22:47:35 CET 2006
73 - don't let iso14755 or mouse reporting get into the way of perl
74 (could lead to global grabs never being cleared).
75 - experimental OnTheSpot editing support (-pe xim-onthespot).
76 - moved Shift-Button2 paste combination to Meta-Button2.
77 - the cutchars resource will now be respected and used by the
78 selection extension.
79 - added the "remote-clipboard" extension which just runs external
80 commands to fetch and store the selection data.
81 - added -depth switch that tries to get a different visual depth
82 than the default (replaces the old PREFER_24_BIT logic).
83 - removed (unused) arabic presentation form composing sequences.
84 - be more strict when deciding that a core font glyph is too wide and
85 needs the careful rendering mode.
86 - allow more leeway for italic fonts when deciding that a character is
87 too wide and needs careful mode.
88 - redraw even more characters around characters using careful mode.
89 - made selection-pastebin fully asynchronous.
90 - reduced number of server turnarounds at startup by allocating
91 atoms only once per display.
92 - renamed on_keyboard_command to on_user_command.
93 - changed version sos (ESC [ > c) response to be more compatible with
94 xterm.
95
967.2 Sun Jan 22 21:58:16 CET 2006
97 - bugfix: urxvt (not urxvtd) did not correctly handle multiple
98 environments necessary, which resulted in segfaults within
99 getenv (reproducable: urxvt -fn 9x15, open a menu once,
100 ctrl-shift-672c).
101 - bugfix: the selection speedup in in 7.1 unfortunately caused
102 non-ascii characters to enlarge/move the selection.
103 - bugfix: resizing sometimes leaked lines from the secondary to
104 the primary screen.
105 - bugfix: reducing window size while large amounts of text were output
106 could lead to an assertion failure.
107 - added "tabbed" extension that provides a crude tabbed terminal.
108 - added "readline" extension that allows cursor positioning
109 via mouse clicks.
110 - now it is possible to insert the value of the CLIPBOARD selection
111 with shift - mouse button 2.
112 - fixed the automove-background extension to ignore coordinates
113 in non-synthetic events.
114 - created a separate libpty for portable and secure
115 pty/tty/utmp/wtmp/lastlog handling, and include it in rxvt-unicode.
116 - the non-terminfo visual bell now works asynchronously, so
117 continuous ASCI BELs in one terminal do no longer monopolise the
118 whole urxvt[d] process.
119 - support some *BSD makes (for the time being, gnu make is a safe bet).
120 - work around bugs in FreeBSD's gcc.
121 - implemented some *BSD fixes in configure.
122 - removed support for obsolete offix dnd protocol.
