18TODO: kill arabic presentation form table 28 - fix urxvtc.1.pod: it actually claimed -pty-fd would not work. But
19TODO: iso14755 code interacts badly with popup grabs 29 it does! :->
30 - rxvt_fatal() in case the locale string is too long for our static buffer.
31 - hopefully fix the crashing bug people encounter with 7.8
32 (triggered by using transparency + perl).

347.8 Mon Jul 17 21:00:46 CEST 2006
35 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: this version will always read ~/.Xdefaults,
36 earlier versions only read it if display-resources (usually from
37 .Xresources) are not set. This avoids the #1 FAQ ("why isn't my
38 resource used") and seems to be logical behaviour, too. .Xdefaults
39 resources have a lower priority than display-specific resources.
40 - add "kuake" perl extension that does a similar thing to the kuake
41 terminal emulator (see man urxtvperl).
42 - use less "correct" color scaling that is compatible with libX11 and
43 Xft (avoids off-by-one colors resulting in striped backgrounds).
44 - the "depth" resource is now respected.
45 - preset the searchable-scrollback pattern with "(?i)" to default search
46 to case-insensitivity. Will automatically be cleared when typing an
47 uppercase character.
48 - add FORCE_UNBUFFERED_XFT define to features.h.
49 - re-enabled highlightcolor support with --enable-frills, based on
50 a patch by Martin Stubenschrott.
51 - double-buffered xft drawing did suffer from pixel offset issues
52 when pixmap transparency was enabled.
53 - strategically add # to the url-match regexes, as we really want to
54 match common URIs not common URLs. Reported by Aaron Griffin.
55 - moved on_osc_seq to on_osc_seq_perl and added a more
56 generic osc_seq.
57 - fix a bug causing double callback invocations when perl hooks
58 were invoked recursively.
59 - the automove-background extension now properly works when the
60 pixmap gets reset with an osc sequence (sqweek).
61 - selection-pastebin did not work properly with non-latin1-characters.
62 - apply colorUL only when the text colour is the default fg
63 (patch by Wu Fengguang).
64 - removed rxvtlib.h from the tarball, it had no reason to be there
65 (spotted by Decklin Foster).
66 - fix compiling with TRANSPARENT but !XPM_BACKGROUND, as reported
67 by omatunto_.
68 - slap in a using namespace std, might help on platforms that don't
69 follow C++ closely enough.
70 - fix mailto url regex, spotted within milliseconds by Jost Krieger.
71 - applied fade_color_update_func.patch by WU Fengguang.
72 - fix a bug where (due to an optimisation in av_delete), hiding the
73 bottom-most overlay would hide two overlays.
74
757.7 Tue Feb 21 12:32:49 CET 2006
76 - use double-buffered drawing (xft fonts only). On many driver/hardware
77 combination this actually increases xft drawing speed, at the expense
78 of more network bandwidth and slight nausea on the side of the author.
79 - readline perl extension now requires shift-click instead of a normal
80 click, and eats the click.
81 - tabbed perl extension now supports -e.
82 - disabled graphics-exposures on the main drawing GC, report any
83 refresh bugs please.
84 - improve property handling for -pe tabbed: avoid unnecessary property
85 changes (for kde's benefit) at the expense of extra round-trips,
86 improve size hint setting.
87 - modified XIM according to a patch sent by Takano Akio that sets
88 the preedit rectangle for OverTheSpot, which helps some input methods
89 to correctly position their preedit window.
90 - un-optimise the line clearing on newly scrolled-in lines a bit: the
91 former reasoning was that any fg colour on default bg looks the same
92 in empty spaces, but thats not true when reversing (e.g. selection),
93 so also check for matching fg colours. This fixes the problem where
94 selecting newly scrolled-in lines would exhibit wrong colours.
95 - fix a bug in the perl interface causing focus in events to generate
96 focus out perl events, causing bad focus effects with -pe tabbed.
97 - fix a race resulting in a crash on exiting.
98 - fix a with --disable-xft that caused xfreecolors to be called on
99 colors never allocated, resulting in aborts (reported by Paco-Paco).
100 - resources on non-initial screens weren't refetched correctly
101 (reported by Paco-Paco).
102 - fix a bug in xcopyarea pass and _disable_ it, as it seems not to be
103 working in either rxvt-unicode nor in the original rxvt.
104 - removed undocumented -exec alias for the -e option.
105
1067.6 Fri Feb 10 08:52:36 CET 2006
107 - changed interpretation of [alpha] colour prefix.
108 - +option now really sets the option to default, instead of using the
109 resource value.
110 - options that require an argument now really _require_ an argument.
111 - the tabbed extension now forwards focus and keys events to th
112 relevant tab window.
113 - tab colours are now configurable and have sensible defaults
114 (initial patch by hednod).
115 - option menu is extendable, readline, selection and
116 selection-autotransform can now be disabled/enabled at runtime.
117 - forcing a configure event to tabbed subwindows with -pe tabbed, for
118 the benefit of automove-background.
119 - the automove-background extension added a wrong constant offset.
120 - force refresh of XA_RESOURCE_STRING on virtual reconnect.
121 - return exit status 2 in urxvtc when urxvtd couldn't be contacted.
122 - the linux yield hack is back, now using usleep, and enabled only on
123 __linux__.
124 - further round trip eliminations in the !XFT case by remembering
125 the colour components.
126 - plain scrollbar works better with -sr.
127 - fixed half-shadow scrollbar look.
128 - more colour rtt optimisations.
129 - properly(?) free colours on window close.
130 - reorganised the FAQ into multiple sections.
131 - add ISO646.1991-IRV to the list of supported codesets.
132 - minor libptytty update.
133
1347.5 Tue Jan 31 15:15:43 CET 2006
135 - further improvements to the careful mode detection, and font width
136 detection:
137 - fully double-wide fonts will now be correctly treated,
138 - overlap detection was improved.
139 - detect totally broken fonts (usually synthesized by xft).
140 - careful mode forced refresh sometimes clashed with blinking,
141 causing unnecessary screen redraws.
142 - better handling of XFT combining characters.
143 - enable antialiasing for some replacement fonts, as they
144 might get used for other encodings which really need it, later.
145 - remove spacing=100 from all default fonts, as this creates totally
146 weird spacing (5 times normal) with xft.
147 - removed iso10646 fallback, as xorgs iso10646 encoded fonts are mostly
148 broken.
149 - removed gnu unifont fallback, all combining characters are broken.
150 - replace named colours by xorg's rgb.txt equivalents, to
151 reduce round trip time on startup, and short-cut allocation
152 of rgb:rr/gg/bb for xft.
153 - short-cut allocation of rgb values in the xlib case
154 (patch by Paco-Paco).
155 - overhauled color management: smaller codesize, alpha support.
156 - support "rgba:rrrr/gggg/bbbb/aaaa" color specifications and
157 an "[alpha]" prefix.
158 - try to work around Xft and Xrender forcing everything to be 100%
159 transparent. Long Live Xft!
160 - do not include X11/Intrinsic.h anymore, directly use
161 Xlib/Xutil/Xresource directly.
162 - try to find a nearest matching color when color allocation fails
163 on a pseudocolor screen.
164 - SYNCCVS: compared to rxvt-cvs 2006-01-28, no relevant changes.
165 - fix version report (DA) (which was unfortunately broken).
166 - changed version number report again, now to emulate xterm closer.
167 - added the OSC sequence 702 to detect the urxvt version number.
168 - small configure updates.
169 - further RTT optimisations.
170 - backported clean-up patches for makefiles and documentation from
171 the debian package.
172 - updated doc/rxvt-unicode.spec file. It's still not maintained here,
173 but much newer than the old one.
174
1757.4 Sat Jan 28 15:26:27 CET 2006
176 - screen background wasn't always erased properly when scrolling,
177 - re-enabled clearing optimisation disabled in 7.4pre.
178 - small configure updates for libptytty.
179 - fixed version options: line output.
180 - removed stoopid debugging message left in the code.
181
1827.3 Wed Jan 25 22:47:35 CET 2006
183 - don't let iso14755 or mouse reporting get into the way of perl
184 (could lead to global grabs never being cleared).
185 - experimental OnTheSpot editing support (-pe xim-onthespot).
186 - moved Shift-Button2 paste combination to Meta-Button2.
187 - the cutchars resource will now be respected and used by the
188 selection extension.
189 - added the "remote-clipboard" extension which just runs external
190 commands to fetch and store the selection data.
191 - added -depth switch that tries to get a different visual depth
192 than the default (replaces the old PREFER_24_BIT logic).
193 - removed (unused) arabic presentation form composing sequences.
194 - be more strict when deciding that a core font glyph is too wide and
195 needs the careful rendering mode.
196 - allow more leeway for italic fonts when deciding that a character is
197 too wide and needs careful mode.
198 - redraw even more characters around characters using careful mode.
199 - made selection-pastebin fully asynchronous.
200 - reduced number of server turnarounds at startup by allocating
201 atoms only once per display.
202 - renamed on_keyboard_command to on_user_command.
203 - changed version sos (ESC [ > c) response to be more compatible with
204 xterm.
