16TODO: distributed clipboard example 16 - further improvements to the careful mode detection, and font width
17TODO: use correct %ENV for perl exec'ed processes. 17 detection:
18 - fully double-wide fonts will now be correctly treated,
19 - overlap detection was improved.
20 - detect totally broken fonts (usually synthesized by xft).
21 - careful mode forced refresh sometimes clashed with blinking,
22 causing unnecessary screen redraws.
23 - better handling of XFT combining characters.
24 - enable antialiasing for some replacement fonts, as they
25 might get used for other encodings which really need it, later.
26 - remove spacing=100 from all default fonts, as this creates totally
27 weird spacing (5 times normal) with xft.
28 - removed iso10646 fallback, as xorgs iso10646 encoded fonts are mostly
29 broken.
30 - removed gnu unifont fallback, all combining characters are broken.
31 - replace named colours by xorg's rgb.txt equivalents, to
32 reduce round trip time on startup, and short-cut allocation
33 of rgb:rr/gg/bb for xft.
34 - short-cut allocation of known rgb values in the xlib case
35 (patch by Paco-Paco).
36 - overhauled color management: smaller codesize, alpha support.
37 - support "rgba:rrrr/gggg/bbbb/aaaa" color specifications and
38 an "[alpha]" prefix.
39 - try to work around Xft and Xrender forcing everything to be 100%
40 transparent. Long Live Xft!
41 - do not include X11/Intrinsic.h anymore, directly use
42 Xlib/Xutil/Xresource directly.
43 - try to find a nearest matching color when color allocation fails
44 on a pseudocolor screen.
45 - SYNCCVS: compared to rxvt-cvs 2006-01-28, no relevant changes.
46 - fix version report (DA) (which was unfortunately broken).
47 - changed version number report again, now to emulate xterm closer.
48 - added the OSC sequence 702 to detect the urxvt version number.
49 - small configure updates.
50 - further RTT optimisations.
51 - don't cause an unnecessary refresh on focus changes.
52
537.4 Sat Jan 28 15:26:27 CET 2006
54 - screen background wasn't always erased properly when scrolling,
55 - re-enabled clearing optimisation disabled in 7.4pre.
56 - small configure updates for libptytty.
57 - fixed version options: line output.
58 - removed stoopid debugging message left in the code.

607.3 Wed Jan 25 22:47:35 CET 2006
61 - don't let iso14755 or mouse reporting get into the way of perl
62 (could lead to global grabs never being cleared).
63 - experimental OnTheSpot editing support (-pe xim-onthespot).
64 - moved Shift-Button2 paste combination to Meta-Button2.
65 - the cutchars resource will now be respected and used by the
66 selection extension.
67 - added the "remote-clipboard" extension which just runs external
68 commands to fetch and store the selection data.
69 - added -depth switch that tries to get a different visual depth
70 than the default (replaces the old PREFER_24_BIT logic).
71 - removed (unused) arabic presentation form composing sequences.
72 - be more strict when deciding that a core font glyph is too wide and
73 needs the careful rendering mode.
74 - allow more leeway for italic fonts when deciding that a character is
75 too wide and needs careful mode.
76 - redraw even more characters around characters using careful mode.
77 - made selection-pastebin fully asynchronous.
78 - reduced number of server turnarounds at startup by allocating
79 atoms only once per display.
80 - renamed on_keyboard_command to on_user_command.
81 - changed version sos (ESC [ > c) response to be more compatible with
82 xterm.

847.2 Sun Jan 22 21:58:16 CET 2006
85 - bugfix: urxvt (not urxvtd) did not correctly handle multiple
86 environments necessary, which resulted in segfaults within
87 getenv (reproducable: urxvt -fn 9x15, open a menu once,
88 ctrl-shift-672c).
89 - bugfix: the selection speedup in in 7.1 unfortunately caused
90 non-ascii characters to enlarge/move the selection.
91 - bugfix: resizing sometimes leaked lines from the secondary to
92 the primary screen.
93 - bugfix: reducing window size while large amounts of text were output
94 could lead to an assertion failure.
95 - added "tabbed" extension that provides a crude tabbed terminal.
96 - added "readline" extension that allows cursor positioning
97 via mouse clicks.
98 - now it is possible to insert the value of the CLIPBOARD selection
99 with shift - mouse button 2.
100 - fixed the automove-background extension to ignore coordinates
101 in non-synthetic events.
102 - created a separate libpty for portable and secure
103 pty/tty/utmp/wtmp/lastlog handling, and include it in rxvt-unicode.
104 - the non-terminfo visual bell now works asynchronously, so
105 continuous ASCI BELs in one terminal do no longer monopolise the
106 whole urxvt[d] process.
107 - support some *BSD makes (for the time being, gnu make is a safe bet).
108 - work around bugs in FreeBSD's gcc.
109 - implemented some *BSD fixes in configure.
110 - removed support for obsolete offix dnd protocol.
