11TODO: http://www120.pair.com/mccarthy/nextstep/intro.htmld/Workspace.html is the correct nextstep look. 10TODO: slow drag selection on remote display - other things seem fast (rxvt illness, motion hints?)
12TODO: rxvt -name urxvt-girly /// leave pixel droppings 11TODO: better resource handling for tabbar in -pe tabbed.
13TODO: distributed clipboard example 12WISH: investigate -pe tabbed -g 80x25 being 23 not 24 or 25 lines
14WISH: perl extension for background image loading and moving the origin. 13 => when setting the constraints, the wm might (correctly)
15WISH: OnTheSpot editing, or maybe switch to miiiiiiif. or maybe use perl and an overlay... 14 resize the outer window, which might result in a smaller window overall.

23
24TODO: make fontCount dependent on ENABLE_256... in an INTELLIGENT way
25TODO: --enable-256c documentation
26 - fix numlock handling, the most longstanding bug to date (Emanuele Giaquinta).
27 - searchable-scrollback no longer ignores the first line
28 (Emanuele Giaquinta).
29 - add support for 256 colors.
30 - add rxvt-unicode-256color terminfo and use it by default in that mode.
31 - actually added macosx-clipboard-native, which should have been in
32 the 9.07 release but had been forgotten.
33 - fix definition of sgr0 to work around limitations in luit.
34 - add support for grabbing the clipboard selection and extend
35 selection{_clear,_grab,} perl bindings to optionally work
36 on the clipboard selection (based on patch by Dana Jansens).
37 - fix a buffer overflow that would cause wrong key sequences to
38 be generated for numpad keys (introduced in 9.05).
39 - extend ISO 14755 5.4 mode to also print the font name of the
40 characters other than first one in the selected cell
41 (Emanuele Giaquinta).
42 - make sure pagewise scrolling scrolls at least one line
43 (found by Mikachu).
44 - new on_bell perl hook (Emanuele Giaquinta).
45 - new iso14755 option to disable ISO 14755 at runtime
46 (Emanuele Giaquinta).

49
509.07 Wed Dec 30 07:07:18 CET 2009
51 - port to glibc-2.10 changes (strchr etc. returning const char *
52 in C++), based on patches by Milos Jakubicek and Oliver Mader.
53 - the binary search algorithm to find precomposed characters
54 was faulty, skipping some possible combinations (found by
55 Mikachu).
56 - new -letterspace option, patch by Mark H. Wilkinson.
57 - enable --mlock option for urxvt with frills on
58 systems supporting it (patch by Russell Harmon).
59 - urxvt did not compile without frills enabled
60 (analysed by Matthew Rosewarne).
61 - correctly reset the mbstate after an illegal
62 input sequence when handling terminal output (Emanuele Giaquinta).
63 - avoid redrawing wide characters with combining enabled on every
64 refresh (reported by Mikachu).
65 - fix a typo preventing the ISO-646.1991 character set from being
66 recognized (http://achurch.org/patch-pile/).
67 - better warning for x11 font encoding detection failures, also,
68 try to deduce encoding from both font properties and name
69 (adapted from http://achurch.org/patch-pile/).
70 - resizing the window with the scrollbar disabled via the escapes
71 sequence could make the window bigger again (Mikachu).
72 - make sure the alignment for fd passing control messages
73 is correct and work around some NetBSD issues (Taylor R Campbell).
74 - update to libptytty 1.3.
75 - replace macosx-clipboard by a nicer version by Reza Jelveh, and move
76 the old version to macosx-clipboard-native.
77 - document the -uc option (Emanuele Giaquinta).
78 - assertions in libev are now enabled depending on frills.
79 - update AnyEvent implementation to version 5.23 API.
80 - work around arrogant bsd idiocies again: netbsd spills the default
81 namespace with lots of symbols "for gnu/gcc compatibility" even
82 though neither of them does it, and then calls the rest of the world
83 in need of fixing. go figure.
84 - on_keyboard_command is on_user_command (patch by Michael Witten).
85 - setting the selection from perl will now reset the selection screen
86 to the current screen. the screen can be manipulated using
87 the new ->selection_screen method.
88 - implement --enable-assert configure option and get rid of DEBUG_STRICT
89 (based on patch by Emanuele Giaquinta).
90 - fix printpipe data output (patch by Emanuele Giaquinta).
91 - allow `xxx' quoting style for perl selection.
92 - upgrade to libev-3.9 prerelease.
93 - updated compose tables to unicode 5.2.0.
94
959.06 Sat Nov 8 17:47:18 CET 2008
96 - NOTICE: this release updates terminfo/termcap.
97 - updates libev to 3.48.
98 - the aterm code now frees the as visual and image manager objects
99 when a window was closed.
100 - do not (wrongly) adjust the virtual line length inside
101 scr_insdel_chars/ERASE (Miroslav Lichvar).
102 - fix an issue where wide tab characters caused character shifts
103 when part of them was deleted (tracked down by Miroslav Lichvar).
104 - artificially enlargen the previous character at the end of a line
105 when trying to output a character that doesn't fit. looks ugly, but
106 makes copy&paste work.
107 - remove bogus "setuid/setgid security issues" from rxvt.1.pod, they
108 no longer apply.
109 - the urgency hint is now cleared on both focus in and focus out.
110 - cache urgency hint locally to avoid server rtt on every focus change.
111 - perl 5.10 needs PERL_SYS_INIT3 on hppa.
112 - ignore byte-order marks and do not treat them like combining characters.
113 - fix build issue when CURSOR_BLINK is not defined (Emanuele Giaquinta).
114 - do some µ-optimisations to the character fast path.
115 - use a less cunning, but more robust algorithm to avoid one terminal
116 monopolising the whole process by outputting a lot of text.
117 - try to work around linux first breaking sched_yield and now breaking
118 the only known workaround.
119 - new option -icon to set _NET_WM_ICON (based on patch by Frank Schmitt).
120 - initialise the as visual only on demand, instead of unconditionally,
121 to save memory in the common case of not using visual gimmicks.
122 - try to work around bugs in a few wm's that erroneously resize
123 client windows on hint property updates by temporarily
124 disabling size hints.
125 - implement the DECSTR soft reset sequence and use it for tput init,
126 and make hard RIS and DECSTR both reset more private modes, such
127 as mouse reporting.
128 - redundantly clear mouse reporting and a few other states in
129 tput init/tput reset, for older urxvts.
130 - partial/full clear screens did cause flickering and possibly pixel
131 droppings when urxvt viewed the scrollback buffer.
132 - use current rendition style in DCH sequence.
133 - the 132/80 mode switch no longer forces a screen reset.
134 - add an osc sequence to change the border colour (Emanuele Giaquinta).
135 - new perl extension "overlay-osc", for status displays and the like.
136 - fix some minor cursor drawing issues with overlays by allowing
137 overlays to modify screen flags (to disable the cursor themselves).
138 - work around programs not restoring rstyle before rmcup
139 (analysed by Miroslav Lichvar).
140
1419.05 Sun Jun 15 20:09:20 CEST 2008
142 - new option --cd/chdir to set the starting working directory.
143 - tabbed extension now starts in the "correct" working directory.
144 - work around fedora 9 providing isastream but not the relevant
145 header file for it (report by Tuncer Ayaz).
146 - upgrade libev, fixing a bug in the select backend.
147 with more than 31 file descriptors on non-linux 64 bit systems.
148 - correctly reset the multibyte state to the initial one
149 after EILSEQ (patch by Neil Booth). This fixes the
150 issue of rxvt-unicode not properly displaying text after an illegal
151 sequence on NetBSD and probably other systems.
152 - more intelligent property handling with -pe tabbed, works around
153 broken window managers (kwm et al.), saves bandwidth and should
154 help working window managers as well.
155 - made tabs moveable (based on a patch by Petr Machata).
156 - implement ESC [ 3 K as a more rational alternative to ESC [ 0 K.
157 - support relative paths for RXVT_SOCKET in urxvtd.
158 - the tabbed extension now blindly copies over all (rxvt-) resources
159 from the toplevel window to the children.
160 - better diagnostic on 0x0 window geometries.
161 - update AnyEvent API to version 3.4 and above.
162 - document the default value of :0 for DISPLAY.
163 - rename perl method XChangeWindowProperty to XChangeProperty.
164
1659.02 Tue Jan 29 11:58:36 CET 2008
166 - the "exg makes everybody happy" release.
167 - fix build with !xft.
168 - always compile in plain style scrollbar (simplifies code and looks great).
169
1709.01 Sat Jan 26 20:49:27 CET 2008
171 - be more aggressive about handling X events, this seems to be required
172 with newer xlibs (should fix the "screen stays black until event is
173 received" problem, again :)
174 - add buffered resource to control xft double-buffering.
175
1769.0 Fri Jan 25 19:34:04 CET 2008
177 - fix a crash bug where urxvtd would crash when urxvtc was called
178 with wrong arguments (I wish debian maintainers in general would
179 report bugs and their proposed fixes to the original package maintainers
180 instead of sitting on them for good measure to see if anybody notices).
181 - drawing xft compose characters was causing garbage to be drawn.
182 - correctly clear xft character background in all cases.
183 - implement bracketed paste mode (xterm private mode 2004).
184 - improve documentation on alpha channel handling, make urxvt
185 work better on servers lacking the RENDER extension when alpha
186 channels or background images are used.
187 - check for refresh after initialising to avoid staying blank
188 till the first event arrives. or so.
189 - the FORCE_UNBUFFERED_XFT feature macro works again.
190 - continuously update transparency while moving/resizing now.
191 - OSC 39/49 are deprecated and aliased to OSC 10/11.
192 - cub1 now acts as advertised (and ignores the "wrapped" state).
193 - the 132/80 mode switch now forces a height of 24, too, and
194 resets the terminal.
195 - scrollbar code cleanups.
196 - stopping children is no longer confused with children exiting.
197 - removed (undocumented) #aarrggbb format.
198 - updated to libev 3.0.
199
2008.9 Mon Dec 24 07:51:40 CET 2007
201 - fix the issue where urxvtd would not immediately close a window
202 when the command exited but only on the next X event.
203 - changed terminfo file not to use application keypad mode.
204 - fix the issue where making a selection in one urxvtd window
205 would not clear it visually in another.
206 - fix an issue of urxvt not getting background pixmap updates
207 and flickering after bg pixmap changes (reported by Mikachu).
208 - fix redraw bug in xterm scrollbar with -sr (reported by Mikachu).
209 - correctly provide dependencies for libev (µikachu).
210 - minor code reorganisations and cleanups.
211 - be more robust in case the urxvt-popup extension cannot be loaded.
212
2138.8 Sat Dec 15 19:40:39 CET 2007
214 - option -C was aliased to all unsupported options, activating
215 options that shouldn't be compiled in, leading to interesting
216 effects.
217 - updated libev, working around a bug in linux 2.4, curing the
218 symptom of urxvt not closing its window on shell exit. also
219 fixes a problem with urxvt not refreshing.
220 - the text blink callback was called even when no blinking
221 text was visible.
222 - pre-8.4 slipwheeling behaviour has been reinstated, with
223 some minor improvements.
224 - streamlined x events processing to only flush once per
225 display and not once per terminal window.
226 - quite a bit of minor code cleanups and codesize optimisations.
227
2288.7 Sun Nov 25 10:23:49 CET 2007
229 - update libev with an important bugfix that would cause crashes
230 when closing windows (when using rxvtd, and update is recommended).
231 - do not compile in the block builtin graphics with --disable-frills.
232
2338.6 Fri Nov 23 14:10:57 CET 2007
234 - upgrade libev to disable kqueue on anything but netbsd as it
235 seems to be broken everywhere else w.r.t. ptys.
236 - allow for spurious event notifications, as at least epoll and
237 especially solaris ports like to lie about them (symptoms:
238 urxvt "hangs" until there is some x11 related activity).
239 - -keysym command line options are now subjected to xlib parsing.
240 - add 'xrm' option analogous to Xt one.
241
2428.5a Wed Nov 21 10:16:33 CET 2007
243 - make it compile with --disable-transparency.
244
2458.5 Wed Nov 21 05:19:20 CET 2007
246 - expect major portability issues in this release: please test and report.
247 - converted from the veritable io manager event loop to
248 the high performance libev (http://software.schmorp.de/pkg/libev).
249 - minor tuning to the perl selection (include single words and more quoting chars).
250 - fix memory leak in pixmap code.
251 - fix a serious bug while setting the XIM destroy callback
252 on (typical) 64 bit systems.
253 - automove-background functionality re-implemented internally using :root op in pixmap
254 geometry string. For example: rxvt -pixmap "image.jpg;:root"
255 - do not link rxvtc against every lib on the planet anymore.
256 - parallel builds should work once more.
257
2588.4 Sat Oct 27 14:02:13 CEST 2007
259 - overhaul of the transparency/pixmap code (sasha).
260 - fix possible race between visual bell and poweron.
261 (reported by Martin von Gagern, gentoo?).
262 - urxvt -e no longer crashes the child.
263 - fixed some minor memleaks on incorrect usage or
264 missing DISPLAY.
265 - implement xterm 1002/1003 mouse tracking modes (exg).
266 - source code organisational cleanups (exg).
267 - updated io_manager.
268
2698.3 Wed Aug 1 20:21:31 CEST 2007
270 - new option: skipScroll/-ss, enabled by default.
271 - go with the times and expect x11 library files in /usr/lib, not
272 /usr/X11R6/lib.
273 - initial transparency improvement/afterimage support
274 patch by Sasha Vasko.
275 - add urgentOnBell resource to set the urgency hint
276 (patch by Philip Paeps).
277 - do not process focus events caused by grabs
278 (patch by Mikachu).
279 - add iso14755_52 resource to disable iso14755 5.2 (exg).
280 - add binding for backspace in iso14755 5.1 to remove the last
281 digit (exg).
282 - better option handling, support more than 30 options (exg).
283 - nuke reconf script, serves no purpose anymore.
284 - fixed and documented matcher/on_user_command processing in matcher
285 extension (tpope).
286 - compile out of the box on Solaris 10 (exg).
287 - fix MappingNotify events (reported by Stephan Walter).
288 - zero-initialise mwmhints, this seems to solve all sorts of minor
289 problems.
290
2918.2 Sat Feb 17 21:35:28 CET 2007
292 - fix make depend in src/, reported by exg.
293 - fixed typo in urxvt::GET_CUSTOM, causing the result to be wrong.
294 (patch by Sergey Vlasov).
295 - unbundled iom perl interface somewhat.
296 - scrollbar-xterm now uses the selected scrollColor instead of fg
297 (found by Aiviru).
298 - disabled linux kernel bug workaround again: disabling it gives
299 a 50% speed hit on affected machines, while enabling it gives
300 a similar speed hit to screen, which is likely the more common
301 case to work around for :/
302 - urxvt::rend2mask perl function, and utilization of it by matcher
303 (patch by Moshe Kamensky).
304 - use perl:matcher on a keysym to open most recently displayed URL.
305 - with matcher, when multiple patterns match, last wins, not first.
306 - fix make and make install with srcdir != builddir (exg).
307 - updated bundled libptytty to fix a bug where the tty would be kept
308 open (see the libptytty ChangeLog for details).
309 - delay setting the IUTF8 flag to after the tty settings have been
310 set so its value does not get lost (reported and analysed by Andrei
311 Paskevich).
312 - rip out support for obsolete sgtty.h interface.
313 - rip out support for non-POSIX termios variants.
314 - update libptytty.
315 - update iom.C, make it call ptytty::sanitise_stdfd on init.
316 - when !XFT, change rounding of colours to use a less correct formula to
317 meet user expectancies (#aaa becomes #a000a000a000 not #9f9f9f9f9f9f).
318 - change the starting offset of the pixmap set with backgroundPixmap
319 from (50,50) to (0,0) (exg).
320 - fix a typo in button_release, now meta-button2 request the value of
321 the Clipboard selection as it should (patch by Serge Koksharov).
322 - fix a bug in drawing a cell with a nonspacing char when using an xft
323 font with inheritPixmap and tintColor (exg).
324
3258.1 Thu Dec 7 22:27:25 CET 2006
326 - ケリスマスプレゼント - zomg!!1, it's too early!!!
327 - fix the assumption that chars < 256 are single-width. Now
328 only assume this for codepoints 32 to 126 (reported by Dai.H.).
329 - $term->strwidth returned wide chars as width 1, because some jerk
330 confused min and max. Fixing this also fixes xim-onthespot.
331 Reported by Takano Akio.
332 - secondaryScroll is now enabled by default (as per the manpage),
333 reported by exg.
334 - correct the description of [percent]color rgba format in the manpage.
335 - incorporated macosx-clipboard extension by Samuel Ljungkvist.
336 - ignore (some) useless focus events (reported by mmc).
337 - updated compose table to unicode 5.0.0.
338
3398.0 Thu Nov 2 18:35:19 CET 2006
340 - combining characters cleared the area instead of creating an overlay,
341 thus losing the ability to draw combining characters properly in most
342 circumstances (reported by exg).
343 - specified fonts were incorrectly morphed to bold/italic according to the
344 basefont, even if explicitly specified (tracked down by tpope).
345 - fixed urxvt::strwidth to calculate width in the same way as screen.C.
346 - fix a crash caused by passing negative widths to overlay functions.
347 - added 'matcher' extension by tpope, replacing the mark-urls extension.
348 - improve url regex to match anything www.* (tpope).
349 - fixed bug with outline cursor color being wrong after xft fonts.
350 - update to libptytty-1.0.
351 - give proper diagnostic when RXVT_SOCKET is too long instead of
352 corrupting the stack (patch by exg).
353 - display current terminal locale in option menu.
354 - urxvtd no longer crashes when the client sends an inaccessible
355 working directory (reported by Roland Baer, possibly fixes gentoo
356 bug #143985).
357 - fixed many minor issues reported by Roland Baer.
358 - Leonid Khramov spotted a minor glitch in rxvtfont.C that
359 should not have any consequences, but was buggy nonetheless.
360 - manpage fix by exg.
361
3627.9 Mon Aug 7 18:16:07 CEST 2006
363 - fix the crashing bug people encountered with 7.8 + urxvtd + perl
364 + transparency. Ought to fix debian bug #380348.
365 - fix urxvtc.1.pod: it actually claimed -pty-fd would not work. But
366 it does! :->
367 - rxvt_fatal() in case the locale string is too long for our static buffer.
368 - fixed many, many, typos in the manpages (patch supplied by ves).
369
3707.8 Mon Jul 17 21:00:46 CEST 2006
371 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: this version will always read ~/.Xdefaults,
372 earlier versions only read it if display-resources (usually from
373 .Xresources) are not set. This avoids the #1 FAQ ("why isn't my
374 resource used") and seems to be logical behaviour, too. .Xdefaults
375 resources have a lower priority than display-specific resources.
376 - add "kuake" perl extension that does a similar thing to the kuake
377 terminal emulator (see man urxvtperl).
378 - use less "correct" color scaling that is compatible with libX11 and
379 Xft (avoids off-by-one colors resulting in striped backgrounds).
380 - the "depth" resource is now respected.
381 - preset the searchable-scrollback pattern with "(?i)" to default search
382 to case-insensitivity. Will automatically be cleared when typing an
383 uppercase character.
384 - add FORCE_UNBUFFERED_XFT define to features.h.
385 - re-enabled highlightcolor support with --enable-frills, based on
386 a patch by Martin Stubenschrott.
387 - double-buffered xft drawing did suffer from pixel offset issues
388 when pixmap transparency was enabled.
389 - strategically add # to the url-match regexes, as we really want to
390 match common URIs not common URLs. Reported by Aaron Griffin.
391 - moved on_osc_seq to on_osc_seq_perl and added a more
392 generic osc_seq.
393 - fix a bug causing double callback invocations when perl hooks
394 were invoked recursively.
395 - the automove-background extension now properly works when the
396 pixmap gets reset with an osc sequence (sqweek).
397 - selection-pastebin did not work properly with non-latin1-characters.
398 - apply colorUL only when the text colour is the default fg
399 (patch by Wu Fengguang).
400 - removed rxvtlib.h from the tarball, it had no reason to be there
401 (spotted by Decklin Foster).
402 - fix compiling with TRANSPARENT but !XPM_BACKGROUND, as reported
403 by omatunto_.
404 - slap in a using namespace std, might help on platforms that don't
405 follow C++ closely enough.
406 - fix mailto url regex, spotted within milliseconds by Jost Krieger.
407 - applied fade_color_update_func.patch by WU Fengguang.
408 - fix a bug where (due to an optimisation in av_delete), hiding the
409 bottom-most overlay would hide two overlays.
410
4117.7 Tue Feb 21 12:32:49 CET 2006
412 - use double-buffered drawing (xft fonts only). On many driver/hardware
413 combination this actually increases xft drawing speed, at the expense
414 of more network bandwidth and slight nausea on the side of the author.
415 - readline perl extension now requires shift-click instead of a normal
416 click, and eats the click.
417 - tabbed perl extension now supports -e.
418 - disabled graphics-exposures on the main drawing GC, report any
419 refresh bugs please.
420 - improve property handling for -pe tabbed: avoid unnecessary property
421 changes (for kde's benefit) at the expense of extra round-trips,
422 improve size hint setting.
423 - modified XIM according to a patch sent by Takano Akio that sets
424 the preedit rectangle for OverTheSpot, which helps some input methods
425 to correctly position their preedit window.
426 - un-optimise the line clearing on newly scrolled-in lines a bit: the
427 former reasoning was that any fg colour on default bg looks the same
428 in empty spaces, but that's not true when reversing (e.g. selection),
429 so also check for matching fg colours. This fixes the problem where
430 selecting newly scrolled-in lines would exhibit wrong colours.
431 - fix a bug in the perl interface causing focus in events to generate
432 focus out perl events, causing bad focus effects with -pe tabbed.
433 - fix a race resulting in a crash on exiting.
434 - fix a with --disable-xft that caused xfreecolors to be called on
435 colors never allocated, resulting in aborts (reported by Paco-Paco).
436 - resources on non-initial screens weren't refetched correctly
437 (reported by Paco-Paco).
438 - fix a bug in xcopyarea pass and _disable_ it, as it seems not to be
439 working in either rxvt-unicode nor in the original rxvt.
440 - removed undocumented -exec alias for the -e option.
441
4427.6 Fri Feb 10 08:52:36 CET 2006
443 - changed interpretation of [alpha] colour prefix.
444 - +option now really sets the option to default, instead of using the
445 resource value.
446 - options that require an argument now really _require_ an argument.
447 - the tabbed extension now forwards focus and key events to the
448 relevant tab window.
449 - tab colours are now configurable and have sensible defaults
450 (initial patch by hednod).
451 - option menu is extendable, readline, selection and
452 selection-autotransform can now be disabled/enabled at runtime.
453 - forcing a configure event to tabbed subwindows with -pe tabbed, for
454 the benefit of automove-background.
455 - the automove-background extension added a wrong constant offset.
456 - force refresh of XA_RESOURCE_STRING on virtual reconnect.
457 - return exit status 2 in urxvtc when urxvtd couldn't be contacted.
458 - the linux yield hack is back, now using usleep, and enabled only on
459 __linux__.
460 - further round trip eliminations in the !XFT case by remembering
461 the colour components.
462 - plain scrollbar works better with -sr.
463 - fixed half-shadow scrollbar look.
464 - more colour rtt optimisations.
465 - properly(?) free colours on window close.
466 - reorganised the FAQ into multiple sections.
467 - add ISO646.1991-IRV to the list of supported codesets.
468 - minor libptytty update.
469
4707.5 Tue Jan 31 15:15:43 CET 2006
471 - further improvements to the careful mode detection, and font width
472 detection:
473 - fully double-wide fonts will now be correctly treated,
474 - overlap detection was improved.
475 - detect totally broken fonts (usually synthesized by xft).
476 - careful mode forced refresh sometimes clashed with blinking,
477 causing unnecessary screen redraws.
478 - better handling of XFT combining characters.
479 - enable antialiasing for some replacement fonts, as they
480 might get used for other encodings which really need it, later.
481 - remove spacing=100 from all default fonts, as this creates totally
482 weird spacing (5 times normal) with xft.
483 - removed iso10646 fallback, as xorgs iso10646 encoded fonts are mostly
484 broken.
485 - removed gnu unifont fallback, all combining characters are broken.
486 - replace named colours by xorg's rgb.txt equivalents, to
487 reduce round trip time on startup, and short-cut allocation
488 of rgb:rr/gg/bb for xft.
489 - short-cut allocation of rgb values in the xlib case
490 (patch by Paco-Paco).
491 - overhauled color management: smaller codesize, alpha support.
492 - support "rgba:rrrr/gggg/bbbb/aaaa" color specifications and
493 an "[alpha]" prefix.
494 - try to work around Xft and Xrender forcing everything to be 100%
495 transparent. Long Live Xft!
496 - do not include X11/Intrinsic.h anymore, directly use
497 Xlib/Xutil/Xresource directly.
498 - try to find a nearest matching color when color allocation fails
499 on a pseudocolor screen.
500 - SYNCCVS: compared to rxvt-cvs 2006-01-28, no relevant changes.
501 - fix version report (DA) (which was unfortunately broken).
502 - changed version number report again, now to emulate xterm closer.
503 - added the OSC sequence 702 to detect the urxvt version number.
504 - small configure updates.
505 - further RTT optimisations.
506 - backported clean-up patches for makefiles and documentation from
507 the debian package.
508 - updated doc/rxvt-unicode.spec file. It's still not maintained here,
509 but much newer than the old one.
510
5117.4 Sat Jan 28 15:26:27 CET 2006
512 - screen background wasn't always erased properly when scrolling,
513 - re-enabled clearing optimisation disabled in 7.4pre.
514 - small configure updates for libptytty.
515 - fixed version options: line output.
516 - removed stoopid debugging message left in the code.
517
5187.3 Wed Jan 25 22:47:35 CET 2006
519 - don't let iso14755 or mouse reporting get into the way of perl
520 (could lead to global grabs never being cleared).
521 - experimental OnTheSpot editing support (-pe xim-onthespot).
522 - moved Shift-Button2 paste combination to Meta-Button2.
523 - the cutchars resource will now be respected and used by the
524 selection extension.
525 - added the "remote-clipboard" extension which just runs external
526 commands to fetch and store the selection data.
527 - added -depth switch that tries to get a different visual depth
528 than the default (replaces the old PREFER_24_BIT logic).
529 - removed (unused) arabic presentation form composing sequences.
530 - be more strict when deciding that a core font glyph is too wide and
531 needs the careful rendering mode.
532 - allow more leeway for italic fonts when deciding that a character is
533 too wide and needs careful mode.
534 - redraw even more characters around characters using careful mode.
535 - made selection-pastebin fully asynchronous.
536 - reduced number of server turnarounds at startup by allocating
537 atoms only once per display.
538 - renamed on_keyboard_command to on_user_command.
539 - changed version sos (ESC [ > c) response to be more compatible with
540 xterm.
541
5427.2 Sun Jan 22 21:58:16 CET 2006
543 - bugfix: urxvt (not urxvtd) did not correctly handle multiple
544 environments necessary, which resulted in segfaults within
545 getenv (reproducable: urxvt -fn 9x15, open a menu once,
546 ctrl-shift-672c).
547 - bugfix: the selection speedup in in 7.1 unfortunately caused
548 non-ascii characters to enlarge/move the selection.
549 - bugfix: resizing sometimes leaked lines from the secondary to
550 the primary screen.
551 - bugfix: reducing window size while large amounts of text were output
552 could lead to an assertion failure.
21 - added "tabbed" extension that provides a crude tabbed terminal. 553 - added "tabbed" extension that provides a crude tabbed terminal.
22 - added "readline" extension that allows cursor positioning 554 - added "readline" extension that allows cursor positioning
23 via mouse clicks. 555 via mouse clicks.

557 with shift - mouse button 2.
24 - fixed the automove-background extension to ignore coordinates 558 - fixed the automove-background extension to ignore coordinates
25 in non-synthetic events. 559 in non-synthetic events.
560 - created a separate libpty for portable and secure
561 pty/tty/utmp/wtmp/lastlog handling, and include it in rxvt-unicode.
562 - the non-terminfo visual bell now works asynchronously, so
563 continuous ASCI BELs in one terminal do no longer monopolise the
564 whole urxvt[d] process.
565 - support some *BSD makes (for the time being, gnu make is a safe bet).
566 - work around bugs in FreeBSD's gcc.
567 - implemented some *BSD fixes in configure.
568 - removed support for obsolete offix dnd protocol.
