159.0 16TODO: xim "how to" faq entry
16TODO: distributed clipboard example 17
18 - changed interpretation of [alpha] colour prefix.
19 - +option now really sets the option to default, instead of using the
20 resource value.
21 - options that require an argument now really _require_ an argument.
22 - force refresh of XA_RESOURCE_STRING on virtual reconnect.
23 - return exit status 2 in urxvtc when urxvtd couldn't be contacted.
24 - the linux yield hack is back, now using usleep, and enabled only on
25 __linux__.
26 - further round trip eliminations in the !XFT case by remembering
27 the colour components.
28 - plain scrollbar works better with -sr.
29 - fixed half-shadow scrollbar look.
30 - more colour rtt optimisations.
31 - properly(?) free colours on window close.
32 - reorganised the FAQ into multiple sections.

347.5 Tue Jan 31 15:15:43 CET 2006
35 - further improvements to the careful mode detection, and font width
36 detection:
37 - fully double-wide fonts will now be correctly treated,
38 - overlap detection was improved.
39 - detect totally broken fonts (usually synthesized by xft).
40 - careful mode forced refresh sometimes clashed with blinking,
41 causing unnecessary screen redraws.
42 - better handling of XFT combining characters.
43 - enable antialiasing for some replacement fonts, as they
44 might get used for other encodings which really need it, later.
45 - remove spacing=100 from all default fonts, as this creates totally
46 weird spacing (5 times normal) with xft.
47 - removed iso10646 fallback, as xorgs iso10646 encoded fonts are mostly
48 broken.
49 - removed gnu unifont fallback, all combining characters are broken.
50 - replace named colours by xorg's rgb.txt equivalents, to
51 reduce round trip time on startup, and short-cut allocation
52 of rgb:rr/gg/bb for xft.
53 - short-cut allocation of rgb values in the xlib case
54 (patch by Paco-Paco).
55 - overhauled color management: smaller codesize, alpha support.
56 - support "rgba:rrrr/gggg/bbbb/aaaa" color specifications and
57 an "[alpha]" prefix.
58 - try to work around Xft and Xrender forcing everything to be 100%
59 transparent. Long Live Xft!
60 - do not include X11/Intrinsic.h anymore, directly use
61 Xlib/Xutil/Xresource directly.
62 - try to find a nearest matching color when color allocation fails
63 on a pseudocolor screen.
64 - SYNCCVS: compared to rxvt-cvs 2006-01-28, no relevant changes.
65 - fix version report (DA) (which was unfortunately broken).
66 - changed version number report again, now to emulate xterm closer.
67 - added the OSC sequence 702 to detect the urxvt version number.
68 - small configure updates.
69 - further RTT optimisations.
70
717.4 Sat Jan 28 15:26:27 CET 2006
72 - screen background wasn't always erased properly when scrolling,
73 - re-enabled clearing optimisation disabled in 7.4pre.
74 - small configure updates for libptytty.
75 - fixed version options: line output.
76 - removed stoopid debugging message left in the code.
77
787.3 Wed Jan 25 22:47:35 CET 2006
79 - don't let iso14755 or mouse reporting get into the way of perl
80 (could lead to global grabs never being cleared).
81 - experimental OnTheSpot editing support (-pe xim-onthespot).
82 - moved Shift-Button2 paste combination to Meta-Button2.
83 - the cutchars resource will now be respected and used by the
84 selection extension.
85 - added the "remote-clipboard" extension which just runs external
86 commands to fetch and store the selection data.
87 - added -depth switch that tries to get a different visual depth
88 than the default (replaces the old PREFER_24_BIT logic).
89 - removed (unused) arabic presentation form composing sequences.
90 - be more strict when deciding that a core font glyph is too wide and
91 needs the careful rendering mode.
92 - allow more leeway for italic fonts when deciding that a character is
93 too wide and needs careful mode.
94 - redraw even more characters around characters using careful mode.
95 - made selection-pastebin fully asynchronous.
96 - reduced number of server turnarounds at startup by allocating
97 atoms only once per display.
98 - renamed on_keyboard_command to on_user_command.
99 - changed version sos (ESC [ > c) response to be more compatible with
100 xterm.
101
1027.2 Sun Jan 22 21:58:16 CET 2006
103 - bugfix: urxvt (not urxvtd) did not correctly handle multiple
104 environments necessary, which resulted in segfaults within
105 getenv (reproducable: urxvt -fn 9x15, open a menu once,
106 ctrl-shift-672c).
107 - bugfix: the selection speedup in in 7.1 unfortunately caused
108 non-ascii characters to enlarge/move the selection.
109 - bugfix: resizing sometimes leaked lines from the secondary to
110 the primary screen.
111 - bugfix: reducing window size while large amounts of text were output
112 could lead to an assertion failure.
113 - added "tabbed" extension that provides a crude tabbed terminal.
114 - added "readline" extension that allows cursor positioning
115 via mouse clicks.
116 - now it is possible to insert the value of the CLIPBOARD selection
117 with shift - mouse button 2.
118 - fixed the automove-background extension to ignore coordinates
119 in non-synthetic events.
120 - created a separate libpty for portable and secure
121 pty/tty/utmp/wtmp/lastlog handling, and include it in rxvt-unicode.
122 - the non-terminfo visual bell now works asynchronously, so
123 continuous ASCI BELs in one terminal do no longer monopolise the
124 whole urxvt[d] process.
125 - support some *BSD makes (for the time being, gnu make is a safe bet).
126 - work around bugs in FreeBSD's gcc.
127 - implemented some *BSD fixes in configure.
128 - removed support for obsolete offix dnd protocol.
