11 => when setting the constraints, the wm might (correctly)
12 resize the outer window, which might result in a smaller window overall.
13 or something like that. guys, send me a patch.
14WISH: skipscroll option

11WISH: just for fun, do shade and tint with XRender.
12WISH: http://www120.pair.com/mccarthy/nextstep/intro.htmld/Workspace.html is the correct nextstep look. 19WISH: http://www120.pair.com/mccarthy/nextstep/intro.htmld/Workspace.html is the correct nextstep scrollbar look.

248.0
25 - specified fonts were incorrectly morphed to bold/italic according to the
26 basefont, even if explicitly specified (tracked down by tpope).
27 - fixed urxvt::strwidth to calculate width in the same way as screen.C.
28 - fix a crash caused by passing negative widths to overlay functions.
29 - added 'matcher' extension by tpope, replacing the mark-urls extension.
30 - improve url regex to match anything www.* (tpope).
31 - fixed bug with outline cursor color being wrong after xft fonts.
32 - update to libptytty-1.0.
33 - give proper diagnostic when RXVT_SOCKET is too long instead of
34 corrupting the stack (patch by exg).
35 - display current terminal locale in option menu.
36 - urxvtd no longer crashes when the client sends an inaccessible
37 working directory (reported by Roland Baer, possibly fixes gentoo
38 bug #143985).
39 - fixed many minor issues reported by Roland Baer.
40 - Leonid Khramov spotted a minor glitch in rxvtfont.C that
41 should not have any consequences, but was buggy nonetheless.
42 - manpage fix by exg.
43
447.9 Mon Aug 7 18:16:07 CEST 2006
45 - fix the crashing bug people encountered with 7.8 + urxvtd + perl
46 + transparency. Ought to fix debian bug #380348.
47 - fix urxvtc.1.pod: it actually claimed -pty-fd would not work. But
48 it does! :->
49 - rxvt_fatal() in case the locale string is too long for our static buffer.
50 - fixed many, many, typos in the manpages (patch supplied by ves).
51
527.8 Mon Jul 17 21:00:46 CEST 2006
53 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: this version will always read ~/.Xdefaults,
54 earlier versions only read it if display-resources (usually from
55 .Xresources) are not set. This avoids the #1 FAQ ("why isn't my
56 resource used") and seems to be logical behaviour, too. .Xdefaults
57 resources have a lower priority than display-specific resources.
58 - add "kuake" perl extension that does a similar thing to the kuake
59 terminal emulator (see man urxtvperl).
60 - use less "correct" color scaling that is compatible with libX11 and
61 Xft (avoids off-by-one colors resulting in striped backgrounds).
62 - the "depth" resource is now respected.
63 - preset the searchable-scrollback pattern with "(?i)" to default search
64 to case-insensitivity. Will automatically be cleared when typing an
65 uppercase character.
66 - add FORCE_UNBUFFERED_XFT define to features.h.
67 - re-enabled highlightcolor support with --enable-frills, based on
68 a patch by Martin Stubenschrott.
69 - double-buffered xft drawing did suffer from pixel offset issues
70 when pixmap transparency was enabled.
71 - strategically add # to the url-match regexes, as we really want to
72 match common URIs not common URLs. Reported by Aaron Griffin.
73 - moved on_osc_seq to on_osc_seq_perl and added a more
74 generic osc_seq.
75 - fix a bug causing double callback invocations when perl hooks
76 were invoked recursively.
77 - the automove-background extension now properly works when the
78 pixmap gets reset with an osc sequence (sqweek).
79 - selection-pastebin did not work properly with non-latin1-characters.
80 - apply colorUL only when the text colour is the default fg
81 (patch by Wu Fengguang).
82 - removed rxvtlib.h from the tarball, it had no reason to be there
83 (spotted by Decklin Foster).
84 - fix compiling with TRANSPARENT but !XPM_BACKGROUND, as reported
85 by omatunto_.
86 - slap in a using namespace std, might help on platforms that don't
87 follow C++ closely enough.
88 - fix mailto url regex, spotted within milliseconds by Jost Krieger.
89 - applied fade_color_update_func.patch by WU Fengguang.
90 - fix a bug where (due to an optimisation in av_delete), hiding the
91 bottom-most overlay would hide two overlays.
92
937.7 Tue Feb 21 12:32:49 CET 2006
94 - use double-buffered drawing (xft fonts only). On many driver/hardware
95 combination this actually increases xft drawing speed, at the expense
96 of more network bandwidth and slight nausea on the side of the author.
97 - readline perl extension now requires shift-click instead of a normal
98 click, and eats the click.
99 - tabbed perl extension now supports -e.
100 - disabled graphics-exposures on the main drawing GC, report any
101 refresh bugs please.
102 - improve property handling for -pe tabbed: avoid unnecessary property
103 changes (for kde's benefit) at the expense of extra round-trips,
104 improve size hint setting.
105 - modified XIM according to a patch sent by Takano Akio that sets
106 the preedit rectangle for OverTheSpot, which helps some input methods
107 to correctly position their preedit window.
108 - un-optimise the line clearing on newly scrolled-in lines a bit: the
109 former reasoning was that any fg colour on default bg looks the same
110 in empty spaces, but thats not true when reversing (e.g. selection),
111 so also check for matching fg colours. This fixes the problem where
112 selecting newly scrolled-in lines would exhibit wrong colours.
113 - fix a bug in the perl interface causing focus in events to generate
114 focus out perl events, causing bad focus effects with -pe tabbed.
115 - fix a race resulting in a crash on exiting.
116 - fix a with --disable-xft that caused xfreecolors to be called on
117 colors never allocated, resulting in aborts (reported by Paco-Paco).
118 - resources on non-initial screens weren't refetched correctly
119 (reported by Paco-Paco).
120 - fix a bug in xcopyarea pass and _disable_ it, as it seems not to be
121 working in either rxvt-unicode nor in the original rxvt.
122 - removed undocumented -exec alias for the -e option.
123
1247.6 Fri Feb 10 08:52:36 CET 2006
125 - changed interpretation of [alpha] colour prefix.
126 - +option now really sets the option to default, instead of using the
127 resource value.
128 - options that require an argument now really _require_ an argument.
129 - the tabbed extension now forwards focus and keys events to th
130 relevant tab window.
131 - tab colours are now configurable and have sensible defaults
132 (initial patch by hednod).
133 - option menu is extendable, readline, selection and
134 selection-autotransform can now be disabled/enabled at runtime.
135 - forcing a configure event to tabbed subwindows with -pe tabbed, for
136 the benefit of automove-background.
137 - the automove-background extension added a wrong constant offset.
138 - force refresh of XA_RESOURCE_STRING on virtual reconnect.
139 - return exit status 2 in urxvtc when urxvtd couldn't be contacted.
140 - the linux yield hack is back, now using usleep, and enabled only on
141 __linux__.
142 - further round trip eliminations in the !XFT case by remembering
143 the colour components.
144 - plain scrollbar works better with -sr.
145 - fixed half-shadow scrollbar look.
146 - more colour rtt optimisations.
147 - properly(?) free colours on window close.
148 - reorganised the FAQ into multiple sections.
149 - add ISO646.1991-IRV to the list of supported codesets.
150 - minor libptytty update.
151
1527.5 Tue Jan 31 15:15:43 CET 2006
153 - further improvements to the careful mode detection, and font width
154 detection:
155 - fully double-wide fonts will now be correctly treated,
156 - overlap detection was improved.
157 - detect totally broken fonts (usually synthesized by xft).
158 - careful mode forced refresh sometimes clashed with blinking,
159 causing unnecessary screen redraws.
160 - better handling of XFT combining characters.
161 - enable antialiasing for some replacement fonts, as they
162 might get used for other encodings which really need it, later.
163 - remove spacing=100 from all default fonts, as this creates totally
164 weird spacing (5 times normal) with xft.
165 - removed iso10646 fallback, as xorgs iso10646 encoded fonts are mostly
166 broken.
167 - removed gnu unifont fallback, all combining characters are broken.
168 - replace named colours by xorg's rgb.txt equivalents, to
169 reduce round trip time on startup, and short-cut allocation
170 of rgb:rr/gg/bb for xft.
171 - short-cut allocation of rgb values in the xlib case
172 (patch by Paco-Paco).
173 - overhauled color management: smaller codesize, alpha support.
174 - support "rgba:rrrr/gggg/bbbb/aaaa" color specifications and
175 an "[alpha]" prefix.
176 - try to work around Xft and Xrender forcing everything to be 100%
177 transparent. Long Live Xft!
178 - do not include X11/Intrinsic.h anymore, directly use
179 Xlib/Xutil/Xresource directly.
180 - try to find a nearest matching color when color allocation fails
181 on a pseudocolor screen.
182 - SYNCCVS: compared to rxvt-cvs 2006-01-28, no relevant changes.
183 - fix version report (DA) (which was unfortunately broken).
184 - changed version number report again, now to emulate xterm closer.
185 - added the OSC sequence 702 to detect the urxvt version number.
186 - small configure updates.
187 - further RTT optimisations.
188 - backported clean-up patches for makefiles and documentation from
189 the debian package.
190 - updated doc/rxvt-unicode.spec file. It's still not maintained here,
191 but much newer than the old one.
192
1937.4 Sat Jan 28 15:26:27 CET 2006
194 - screen background wasn't always erased properly when scrolling,
195 - re-enabled clearing optimisation disabled in 7.4pre.
196 - small configure updates for libptytty.
197 - fixed version options: line output.
198 - removed stoopid debugging message left in the code.
