20 - changed interpretation of [alpha] colour prefix.
21 - +option now really sets the option to default, instead of using the
22 resource value.
23 - the linux yield hack is back, now using usleep, and enabled only on
24 __linux__.
25 - further round trip eliminations in the !XFT case by remembering
26 the colour components.
27 - plain scrollbar works better with -sr.
28 - fixed half-shadow scrollbar look.
29 - reorganised the FAQ into multiple sections.

32 - further improvements to the careful mode detection, and font width
33 detection:
34 - fully double-wide fonts will now be correctly treated,
35 - overlap detection was improved.
36 - detect totally broken fonts (usually synthesized by xft).
37 - careful mode forced refresh sometimes clashed with blinking,
38 causing unnecessary screen redraws.
39 - better handling of XFT combining characters.
40 - enable antialiasing for some replacement fonts, as they
41 might get used for other encodings which really need it, later.
42 - remove spacing=100 from all default fonts, as this creates totally
43 weird spacing (5 times normal) with xft.
44 - removed iso10646 fallback, as xorgs iso10646 encoded fonts are mostly
45 broken.
46 - removed gnu unifont fallback, all combining characters are broken.
47 - replace named colours by xorg's rgb.txt equivalents, to
48 reduce round trip time on startup, and short-cut allocation
49 of rgb:rr/gg/bb for xft.
50 - short-cut allocation of rgb values in the xlib case
51 (patch by Paco-Paco).
52 - overhauled color management: smaller codesize, alpha support.
53 - support "rgba:rrrr/gggg/bbbb/aaaa" color specifications and
54 an "[alpha]" prefix.
55 - try to work around Xft and Xrender forcing everything to be 100%
56 transparent. Long Live Xft!
57 - do not include X11/Intrinsic.h anymore, directly use
58 Xlib/Xutil/Xresource directly.
59 - try to find a nearest matching color when color allocation fails
60 on a pseudocolor screen.
61 - SYNCCVS: compared to rxvt-cvs 2006-01-28, no relevant changes.
62 - fix version report (DA) (which was unfortunately broken).
63 - changed version number report again, now to emulate xterm closer.
64 - added the OSC sequence 702 to detect the urxvt version number.
65 - small configure updates.
66 - further RTT optimisations.
67
687.4 Sat Jan 28 15:26:27 CET 2006
69 - screen background wasn't always erased properly when scrolling,
70 - re-enabled clearing optimisation disabled in 7.4pre.
71 - small configure updates for libptytty.
72 - fixed version options: line output.
73 - removed stoopid debugging message left in the code.
74
757.3 Wed Jan 25 22:47:35 CET 2006
76 - don't let iso14755 or mouse reporting get into the way of perl
77 (could lead to global grabs never being cleared).
78 - experimental OnTheSpot editing support (-pe xim-onthespot).
79 - moved Shift-Button2 paste combination to Meta-Button2.
80 - the cutchars resource will now be respected and used by the
81 selection extension.
82 - added the "remote-clipboard" extension which just runs external
83 commands to fetch and store the selection data.
84 - added -depth switch that tries to get a different visual depth
85 than the default (replaces the old PREFER_24_BIT logic).
86 - removed (unused) arabic presentation form composing sequences.
87 - be more strict when deciding that a core font glyph is too wide and
88 needs the careful rendering mode.
89 - allow more leeway for italic fonts when deciding that a character is
90 too wide and needs careful mode.
91 - redraw even more characters around characters using careful mode.
92 - made selection-pastebin fully asynchronous.
93 - reduced number of server turnarounds at startup by allocating
94 atoms only once per display.
95 - renamed on_keyboard_command to on_user_command.
96 - changed version sos (ESC [ > c) response to be more compatible with
97 xterm.

100 - bugfix: urxvt (not urxvtd) did not correctly handle multiple
101 environments necessary, which resulted in segfaults within
102 getenv (reproducable: urxvt -fn 9x15, open a menu once,
103 ctrl-shift-672c).

106 - bugfix: resizing sometimes leaked lines from the secondary to
107 the primary screen.
108 - bugfix: reducing window size while large amounts of text were output
109 could lead to an assertion failure.
