10TODO: rxvt -name urxvt-girly /// leave pixel droppings 10TODO: slow drag selection on remote display - other things seem fast (rxvt illness, motion hints?)
11TODO: distributed clipboard example 11TODO: default selection should handle = better
12WISH: look into XAddConnectionWatch, does anybody need that?
12WISH: anyevent mouse notification / manage MotionMask better. 13WISH: anyevent mouse notification / manage MotionMask better.
13WISH: OnTheSpot editing, or maybe switch to miiiiiiif. or maybe use perl and an overlay...
14WISH: just for fun, do shade and tint with XRender.
15WISH: http://www120.pair.com/mccarthy/nextstep/intro.htmld/Workspace.html is the correct nextstep look. 14WISH: http://www120.pair.com/mccarthy/nextstep/intro.htmld/Workspace.html is the correct nextstep look.

18TODO: move resources out of allocated 17 - use double-buffered drawing (xft fonts only). On many driver/hardware
18 combination this actually increases xft drawing speed, at the expense
19 of more network bandwidth and slight nausea on the side of the author.
20 - readline perl extension now requires shift-click instead of a normal
21 click.
22 - tabbed perl extension now supports -e.
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.
45 - removed undocumented -exec alias for the -e option.
46
477.6 Fri Feb 10 08:52:36 CET 2006
48 - changed interpretation of [alpha] colour prefix.
49 - +option now really sets the option to default, instead of using the
50 resource value.
51 - options that require an argument now really _require_ an argument.
52 - the tabbed extension now forwards focus and keys events to th
53 relevant tab window.
54 - tab colours are now configurable and have sensible defaults
55 (initial patch by hednod).
56 - option menu is extendable, readline, selection and
57 selection-autotransform can now be disabled/enabled at runtime.
58 - forcing a configure event to tabbed subwindows with -pe tabbed, for
59 the benefit of automove-background.
60 - the automove-background extension added a wrong constant offset.
61 - force refresh of XA_RESOURCE_STRING on virtual reconnect.
62 - return exit status 2 in urxvtc when urxvtd couldn't be contacted.
63 - the linux yield hack is back, now using usleep, and enabled only on
64 __linux__.
65 - further round trip eliminations in the !XFT case by remembering
66 the colour components.
67 - plain scrollbar works better with -sr.
68 - fixed half-shadow scrollbar look.
69 - more colour rtt optimisations.
70 - properly(?) free colours on window close.
71 - reorganised the FAQ into multiple sections.
72 - add ISO646.1991-IRV to the list of supported codesets.
73 - minor libptytty update.
74
757.5 Tue Jan 31 15:15:43 CET 2006
76 - further improvements to the careful mode detection, and font width
77 detection:
78 - fully double-wide fonts will now be correctly treated,
79 - overlap detection was improved.
80 - detect totally broken fonts (usually synthesized by xft).
81 - careful mode forced refresh sometimes clashed with blinking,
82 causing unnecessary screen redraws.
83 - better handling of XFT combining characters.
84 - enable antialiasing for some replacement fonts, as they
85 might get used for other encodings which really need it, later.
86 - remove spacing=100 from all default fonts, as this creates totally
87 weird spacing (5 times normal) with xft.
88 - removed iso10646 fallback, as xorgs iso10646 encoded fonts are mostly
89 broken.
90 - removed gnu unifont fallback, all combining characters are broken.
91 - replace named colours by xorg's rgb.txt equivalents, to
92 reduce round trip time on startup, and short-cut allocation
93 of rgb:rr/gg/bb for xft.
94 - short-cut allocation of rgb values in the xlib case
95 (patch by Paco-Paco).
96 - overhauled color management: smaller codesize, alpha support.
97 - support "rgba:rrrr/gggg/bbbb/aaaa" color specifications and
98 an "[alpha]" prefix.
99 - try to work around Xft and Xrender forcing everything to be 100%
100 transparent. Long Live Xft!
101 - do not include X11/Intrinsic.h anymore, directly use
102 Xlib/Xutil/Xresource directly.
103 - try to find a nearest matching color when color allocation fails
104 on a pseudocolor screen.
105 - SYNCCVS: compared to rxvt-cvs 2006-01-28, no relevant changes.
106 - fix version report (DA) (which was unfortunately broken).
107 - changed version number report again, now to emulate xterm closer.
108 - added the OSC sequence 702 to detect the urxvt version number.
109 - small configure updates.
110 - further RTT optimisations.
111
1127.4 Sat Jan 28 15:26:27 CET 2006
113 - screen background wasn't always erased properly when scrolling,
114 - re-enabled clearing optimisation disabled in 7.4pre.
115 - small configure updates for libptytty.
116 - fixed version options: line output.
117 - removed stoopid debugging message left in the code.

127 commands to fetch and store the selection data.

129 than the default (replaces the old PREFER_24_BIT logic).
