157.5 Mon Jan 30 23:49:13 CET 2006 24 - hopefully fix the crashing bug people encounter with 7.8
25 (triggered by using transparency + perl). Likely fixes debian bug #380348.
26 - fix urxvtc.1.pod: it actually claimed -pty-fd would not work. But
27 it does! :->
28 - rxvt_fatal() in case the locale string is too long for our static buffer.
29 - fixed many, many, typos in the documentation (patch supplied by ves).

317.8 Mon Jul 17 21:00:46 CEST 2006
32 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: this version will always read ~/.Xdefaults,
33 earlier versions only read it if display-resources (usually from
34 .Xresources) are not set. This avoids the #1 FAQ ("why isn't my
35 resource used") and seems to be logical behaviour, too. .Xdefaults
36 resources have a lower priority than display-specific resources.
37 - add "kuake" perl extension that does a similar thing to the kuake
38 terminal emulator (see man urxtvperl).
39 - use less "correct" color scaling that is compatible with libX11 and
40 Xft (avoids off-by-one colors resulting in striped backgrounds).
41 - the "depth" resource is now respected.
42 - preset the searchable-scrollback pattern with "(?i)" to default search
43 to case-insensitivity. Will automatically be cleared when typing an
44 uppercase character.
45 - add FORCE_UNBUFFERED_XFT define to features.h.
46 - re-enabled highlightcolor support with --enable-frills, based on
47 a patch by Martin Stubenschrott.
48 - double-buffered xft drawing did suffer from pixel offset issues
49 when pixmap transparency was enabled.
50 - strategically add # to the url-match regexes, as we really want to
51 match common URIs not common URLs. Reported by Aaron Griffin.
52 - moved on_osc_seq to on_osc_seq_perl and added a more
53 generic osc_seq.
54 - fix a bug causing double callback invocations when perl hooks
55 were invoked recursively.
56 - the automove-background extension now properly works when the
57 pixmap gets reset with an osc sequence (sqweek).
58 - selection-pastebin did not work properly with non-latin1-characters.
59 - apply colorUL only when the text colour is the default fg
60 (patch by Wu Fengguang).
61 - removed rxvtlib.h from the tarball, it had no reason to be there
62 (spotted by Decklin Foster).
63 - fix compiling with TRANSPARENT but !XPM_BACKGROUND, as reported
64 by omatunto_.
65 - slap in a using namespace std, might help on platforms that don't
66 follow C++ closely enough.
67 - fix mailto url regex, spotted within milliseconds by Jost Krieger.
68 - applied fade_color_update_func.patch by WU Fengguang.
69 - fix a bug where (due to an optimisation in av_delete), hiding the
70 bottom-most overlay would hide two overlays.

727.7 Tue Feb 21 12:32:49 CET 2006
73 - use double-buffered drawing (xft fonts only). On many driver/hardware
74 combination this actually increases xft drawing speed, at the expense
75 of more network bandwidth and slight nausea on the side of the author.
76 - readline perl extension now requires shift-click instead of a normal
77 click, and eats the click.
78 - tabbed perl extension now supports -e.
79 - disabled graphics-exposures on the main drawing GC, report any
80 refresh bugs please.
81 - improve property handling for -pe tabbed: avoid unnecessary property
82 changes (for kde's benefit) at the expense of extra round-trips,
83 improve size hint setting.
84 - modified XIM according to a patch sent by Takano Akio that sets
85 the preedit rectangle for OverTheSpot, which helps some input methods
86 to correctly position their preedit window.
87 - un-optimise the line clearing on newly scrolled-in lines a bit: the
88 former reasoning was that any fg colour on default bg looks the same
89 in empty spaces, but thats not true when reversing (e.g. selection),
90 so also check for matching fg colours. This fixes the problem where
91 selecting newly scrolled-in lines would exhibit wrong colours.
92 - fix a bug in the perl interface causing focus in events to generate
93 focus out perl events, causing bad focus effects with -pe tabbed.
94 - fix a race resulting in a crash on exiting.
95 - fix a with --disable-xft that caused xfreecolors to be called on
96 colors never allocated, resulting in aborts (reported by Paco-Paco).
97 - resources on non-initial screens weren't refetched correctly
98 (reported by Paco-Paco).
99 - fix a bug in xcopyarea pass and _disable_ it, as it seems not to be
100 working in either rxvt-unicode nor in the original rxvt.
101 - removed undocumented -exec alias for the -e option.
102
1037.6 Fri Feb 10 08:52:36 CET 2006
104 - changed interpretation of [alpha] colour prefix.
105 - +option now really sets the option to default, instead of using the
106 resource value.
107 - options that require an argument now really _require_ an argument.
108 - the tabbed extension now forwards focus and keys events to th
109 relevant tab window.
110 - tab colours are now configurable and have sensible defaults
111 (initial patch by hednod).
112 - option menu is extendable, readline, selection and
113 selection-autotransform can now be disabled/enabled at runtime.
114 - forcing a configure event to tabbed subwindows with -pe tabbed, for
115 the benefit of automove-background.
116 - the automove-background extension added a wrong constant offset.
117 - force refresh of XA_RESOURCE_STRING on virtual reconnect.
118 - return exit status 2 in urxvtc when urxvtd couldn't be contacted.
119 - the linux yield hack is back, now using usleep, and enabled only on
120 __linux__.
121 - further round trip eliminations in the !XFT case by remembering
122 the colour components.
123 - plain scrollbar works better with -sr.
124 - fixed half-shadow scrollbar look.
125 - more colour rtt optimisations.
126 - properly(?) free colours on window close.
127 - reorganised the FAQ into multiple sections.
128 - add ISO646.1991-IRV to the list of supported codesets.
129 - minor libptytty update.
