9TODO: read property sequence is broken with respect to utf-8 etc. 10TODO: read property sequence is broken with respect to utf-8 etc.
11TODO: slow drag selection on remote display - other things seem fast (rxvt illness, motion hints?)
12TODO: default selection should handle = better
13WISH: look into XAddConnectionWatch, does anybody need that?
14WISH: anyevent mouse notification / manage MotionMask better.
10TODO: http://www120.pair.com/mccarthy/nextstep/intro.htmld/Workspace.html is the correct nextstep look. 15WISH: http://www120.pair.com/mccarthy/nextstep/intro.htmld/Workspace.html is the correct nextstep look.

15WISH: OnTheSpot editing, or maybe switch to miiiiiiif. or maybe use perl and an overlay...
16WISH: just for fun, do shade and tint with XRender.

197.2 18 - use double-buffered drawing (xft fonts only). On many driver/hardware
20TODO: alsamixer/wild resize => secondary leaks into primary scrollback? 19 combination this actually increases xft drawing speed, at the expense
20 of more network bandwidth and slight nausea on the side of the author.
21 - readline perl extension now requires shift-click instead of a normal
22 click.
23 - disabled graphics-exposures on the main drawing GC, report any
24 refresh bugs please.
25 - improve property handling for -pe tabbed: avoid unnecessary property
26 changes (for kde's benefit) at the expense of extra round-trips,
27 improve size hint setting.
28 - modified XIM according to a patch sent by Takano Akio that sets
29 the preedit rectangle for OverTheSpot, which helps some input methods
30 to correctly position their preedit window.
31 - un-optimise the line clearing on newly scrolled-in lines a bit: the
32 former reasoning was that any fg colour on default bg looks the same
33 in empts spaces, but thats not true when reversing (e.g. selection),
34 so also check for matching fg colours. This fixes the problem where
35 selecting newly scrolled-in lines would exhibit wrong colours.
36 - fix a bug in the perl interface causing focus in events to generate
37 focus out perl events, causing bad focus effects with -pe tabbed.
38 - fix a race resulting in a crash on exiting.
39 - fix a with --disable-xft that caused xfreecolors to be called on
40 colors never allocated, resulting in aborts (reported by Paco-Paco).
41 - resources on non-initial screens weren't refetched correctly
42 (reported by Paco-Paco).
43 - fix a bug in xcopyarea pass and _disable_ it, as it seems not to be
44 working in either rxvt-unicode nor in the original rxvt.

467.6 Fri Feb 10 08:52:36 CET 2006
47 - changed interpretation of [alpha] colour prefix.
48 - +option now really sets the option to default, instead of using the
49 resource value.
50 - options that require an argument now really _require_ an argument.
51 - the tabbed extension now forwards focus and keys events to th
52 relevant tab window.
53 - tab colours are now configurable and have sensible defaults
54 (initial patch by hednod).
55 - option menu is extendable, readline, selection and
56 selection-autotransform can now be disabled/enabled at runtime.
57 - forcing a configure event to tabbed subwindows with -pe tabbed, for
58 the benefit of automove-background.
59 - the automove-background extension added a wrong constant offset.
60 - force refresh of XA_RESOURCE_STRING on virtual reconnect.
61 - return exit status 2 in urxvtc when urxvtd couldn't be contacted.
62 - the linux yield hack is back, now using usleep, and enabled only on
63 __linux__.
64 - further round trip eliminations in the !XFT case by remembering
65 the colour components.
66 - plain scrollbar works better with -sr.
67 - fixed half-shadow scrollbar look.
68 - more colour rtt optimisations.
69 - properly(?) free colours on window close.
70 - reorganised the FAQ into multiple sections.
71 - add ISO646.1991-IRV to the list of supported codesets.
72 - minor libptytty update.
73
747.5 Tue Jan 31 15:15:43 CET 2006
75 - further improvements to the careful mode detection, and font width
76 detection:
77 - fully double-wide fonts will now be correctly treated,
78 - overlap detection was improved.
79 - detect totally broken fonts (usually synthesized by xft).
80 - careful mode forced refresh sometimes clashed with blinking,
81 causing unnecessary screen redraws.
82 - better handling of XFT combining characters.
83 - enable antialiasing for some replacement fonts, as they
84 might get used for other encodings which really need it, later.
85 - remove spacing=100 from all default fonts, as this creates totally
86 weird spacing (5 times normal) with xft.
87 - removed iso10646 fallback, as xorgs iso10646 encoded fonts are mostly
88 broken.
89 - removed gnu unifont fallback, all combining characters are broken.
90 - replace named colours by xorg's rgb.txt equivalents, to
91 reduce round trip time on startup, and short-cut allocation
92 of rgb:rr/gg/bb for xft.
93 - short-cut allocation of rgb values in the xlib case
94 (patch by Paco-Paco).
95 - overhauled color management: smaller codesize, alpha support.
96 - support "rgba:rrrr/gggg/bbbb/aaaa" color specifications and
97 an "[alpha]" prefix.
98 - try to work around Xft and Xrender forcing everything to be 100%
99 transparent. Long Live Xft!
100 - do not include X11/Intrinsic.h anymore, directly use
101 Xlib/Xutil/Xresource directly.
102 - try to find a nearest matching color when color allocation fails
103 on a pseudocolor screen.
104 - SYNCCVS: compared to rxvt-cvs 2006-01-28, no relevant changes.
105 - fix version report (DA) (which was unfortunately broken).
106 - changed version number report again, now to emulate xterm closer.
107 - added the OSC sequence 702 to detect the urxvt version number.
108 - small configure updates.
109 - further RTT optimisations.
110
1117.4 Sat Jan 28 15:26:27 CET 2006
112 - screen background wasn't always erased properly when scrolling,
113 - re-enabled clearing optimisation disabled in 7.4pre.
114 - small configure updates for libptytty.
115 - fixed version options: line output.
116 - removed stoopid debugging message left in the code.
117
1187.3 Wed Jan 25 22:47:35 CET 2006
119 - don't let iso14755 or mouse reporting get into the way of perl
120 (could lead to global grabs never being cleared).
121 - experimental OnTheSpot editing support (-pe xim-onthespot).
122 - moved Shift-Button2 paste combination to Meta-Button2.
123 - the cutchars resource will now be respected and used by the
124 selection extension.
125 - added the "remote-clipboard" extension which just runs external
126 commands to fetch and store the selection data.
127 - added -depth switch that tries to get a different visual depth
128 than the default (replaces the old PREFER_24_BIT logic).
129 - removed (unused) arabic presentation form composing sequences.
130 - be more strict when deciding that a core font glyph is too wide and
131 needs the careful rendering mode.
132 - allow more leeway for italic fonts when deciding that a character is
133 too wide and needs careful mode.
134 - redraw even more characters around characters using careful mode.
135 - made selection-pastebin fully asynchronous.
136 - reduced number of server turnarounds at startup by allocating
137 atoms only once per display.
138 - renamed on_keyboard_command to on_user_command.
139 - changed version sos (ESC [ > c) response to be more compatible with
140 xterm.
