28 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: this version will always read ~/.Xdefaults, earlier
29 versions only read it if display-resources (usually from .Xresources)
30 are not set. This avoids the #1 FAQ ("why isn't my resource used") and
31 seems to be logical behaviour, too. .Xdefaults resources have a lower
32 priority than display-specific resources.
33 - use less "correct" color scaling that is compatible with libX11 and Xft
34 (avoids off-by-one colors resulting in striped backgrounds).
35 - the "depth" resource is now respected.
36 - add FORCE_UNBUFFERED_XFT define to features.h.
37 - double-buffered xft drawing did suffer from pixel offset issues
38 when pixmap transparency was enabled.
39 - moved on_osc_seq to on_osc_seq_perl and added a more
40 generic osc_seq.
41 - fix a bug causing double callback invocations when perl hooks
42 were invoked recursively.
43 - the automove-background extension now properly works when the
44 pixmap gets reset with an osc sequence (sqweek).
45 - selection-pastebin did not work properly with non-latin1-characters.
46 - apply colorUL only when the text colour is the default fg
47 (patch by Wu Fengguang).
48 - removed rxvtlib.h from the tarball, it had no reason to be there
49 (spotted by Decklin Foster).
50 - fix compiling with TRANSPARENT but !XPM_BACKGROUND, as reported
51 by omatunto_.
52 - slap in a using namespace std, might help on platforms that don't
53 follow C++ closely enough.
54 - fix mailto url regex, spotted within milliseconds by Jost Krieger.
55 - applied fade_color_update_func.patch by WU Fengguang.
56 - fix a bug where (due to an optimisation in av_delete), hiding the
57 bottom-most overlay would hide two overlays.

597.7 Tue Feb 21 12:32:49 CET 2006
60 - use double-buffered drawing (xft fonts only). On many driver/hardware
61 combination this actually increases xft drawing speed, at the expense
62 of more network bandwidth and slight nausea on the side of the author.
63 - readline perl extension now requires shift-click instead of a normal
64 click, and eats the click.
65 - tabbed perl extension now supports -e.
66 - disabled graphics-exposures on the main drawing GC, report any
67 refresh bugs please.
68 - improve property handling for -pe tabbed: avoid unnecessary property
69 changes (for kde's benefit) at the expense of extra round-trips,
70 improve size hint setting.
71 - modified XIM according to a patch sent by Takano Akio that sets
72 the preedit rectangle for OverTheSpot, which helps some input methods
73 to correctly position their preedit window.
74 - un-optimise the line clearing on newly scrolled-in lines a bit: the
75 former reasoning was that any fg colour on default bg looks the same
76 in empty spaces, but thats not true when reversing (e.g. selection),
77 so also check for matching fg colours. This fixes the problem where
78 selecting newly scrolled-in lines would exhibit wrong colours.
79 - fix a bug in the perl interface causing focus in events to generate
80 focus out perl events, causing bad focus effects with -pe tabbed.
81 - fix a race resulting in a crash on exiting.
82 - fix a with --disable-xft that caused xfreecolors to be called on
83 colors never allocated, resulting in aborts (reported by Paco-Paco).
84 - resources on non-initial screens weren't refetched correctly
85 (reported by Paco-Paco).
86 - fix a bug in xcopyarea pass and _disable_ it, as it seems not to be
87 working in either rxvt-unicode nor in the original rxvt.
88 - removed undocumented -exec alias for the -e option.
89
907.6 Fri Feb 10 08:52:36 CET 2006
91 - changed interpretation of [alpha] colour prefix.
92 - +option now really sets the option to default, instead of using the
93 resource value.
94 - options that require an argument now really _require_ an argument.
95 - the tabbed extension now forwards focus and keys events to th
96 relevant tab window.
97 - tab colours are now configurable and have sensible defaults
98 (initial patch by hednod).
99 - option menu is extendable, readline, selection and
100 selection-autotransform can now be disabled/enabled at runtime.
101 - forcing a configure event to tabbed subwindows with -pe tabbed, for
102 the benefit of automove-background.
103 - the automove-background extension added a wrong constant offset.
104 - force refresh of XA_RESOURCE_STRING on virtual reconnect.
105 - return exit status 2 in urxvtc when urxvtd couldn't be contacted.
106 - the linux yield hack is back, now using usleep, and enabled only on
107 __linux__.
108 - further round trip eliminations in the !XFT case by remembering
109 the colour components.
110 - plain scrollbar works better with -sr.
111 - fixed half-shadow scrollbar look.
112 - more colour rtt optimisations.
113 - properly(?) free colours on window close.
114 - reorganised the FAQ into multiple sections.
115 - add ISO646.1991-IRV to the list of supported codesets.
116 - minor libptytty update.
117
1187.5 Tue Jan 31 15:15:43 CET 2006
119 - further improvements to the careful mode detection, and font width
120 detection:
121 - fully double-wide fonts will now be correctly treated,
122 - overlap detection was improved.
123 - detect totally broken fonts (usually synthesized by xft).
124 - careful mode forced refresh sometimes clashed with blinking,
125 causing unnecessary screen redraws.
126 - better handling of XFT combining characters.
127 - enable antialiasing for some replacement fonts, as they
128 might get used for other encodings which really need it, later.
129 - remove spacing=100 from all default fonts, as this creates totally
130 weird spacing (5 times normal) with xft.
131 - removed iso10646 fallback, as xorgs iso10646 encoded fonts are mostly
132 broken.
133 - removed gnu unifont fallback, all combining characters are broken.
134 - replace named colours by xorg's rgb.txt equivalents, to
135 reduce round trip time on startup, and short-cut allocation
136 of rgb:rr/gg/bb for xft.
137 - short-cut allocation of rgb values in the xlib case
138 (patch by Paco-Paco).
139 - overhauled color management: smaller codesize, alpha support.
140 - support "rgba:rrrr/gggg/bbbb/aaaa" color specifications and
141 an "[alpha]" prefix.
142 - try to work around Xft and Xrender forcing everything to be 100%
143 transparent. Long Live Xft!
144 - do not include X11/Intrinsic.h anymore, directly use
145 Xlib/Xutil/Xresource directly.
146 - try to find a nearest matching color when color allocation fails
147 on a pseudocolor screen.
148 - SYNCCVS: compared to rxvt-cvs 2006-01-28, no relevant changes.
149 - fix version report (DA) (which was unfortunately broken).
150 - changed version number report again, now to emulate xterm closer.
151 - added the OSC sequence 702 to detect the urxvt version number.
152 - small configure updates.
153 - further RTT optimisations.
154
1557.4 Sat Jan 28 15:26:27 CET 2006
156 - screen background wasn't always erased properly when scrolling,
157 - re-enabled clearing optimisation disabled in 7.4pre.
158 - small configure updates for libptytty.
159 - fixed version options: line output.
160 - removed stoopid debugging message left in the code.
